Alan, I think I sent this in when the blog may have been down. If I just missed it my apology for the repeat. If not, here goes:
Our local newspaper recently ran a story titled, ""Not Many Mayberrys: Patroling the countryside isn't what it used to be" Here's the direct quotes from Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills: The department doesn't have a Web site. It does, however, boast a mobile command post - an extra-long, camper-style trailer - that sports an array state-of-the-art computers and communications gizmos. Also inside, a DVD collection: "The Andy Griffith Show." "They're the best training films that ever was," Sills says. "Thank God I remember it. Because practically nobody that works here does. But I remember Mayberry. And nothing would make me happier than to go back to it." You can find the full story at http://www.macon.com/198/story/384923.html I'd be curious to hear of any other law enforcement people who have similar situations.
