SHONDA KNIGHT February 12,2008 CRYSTAL RIVER, FLA. We the people of this town...need more online news more often! Tracy Moore February 7,2008 Donalsonville, Georgia Hello, I wondered why I wasn't on the page for arrests in July... I was arrested minutes after making a traced call from work to try and sort out a failure to appear over a WINDOW tint citation (on a pretty show car I had owned for 2 weeks)... I want people to know about this stupid thing. Like they had nothing better to do than arrest a w/19 female for such things, who BTW just said she would come in the next day to pay the fines. Does she sound like a threat to society to you? The first and only mark on my clean record. I want people to know that I feel violated. Sincerely...

Alley September 9,2007 Donalsonville, GA Hey boy !, are you the one I teed at the raceway ? Ralph Waldo Emerson August 14,2007 Oak lawn, pa Dear Sheriff Godby: I am a 911/police dispatcher with the Greater Sudbury Police Service in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Prior to that, I spent 5 years as a Customs Inspector at the Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Before I begin I should explain that I am not all that conversant when it comes to the Internet and e-mail issues. I have only very restricted access at work and though I�ve had my own home computer for some time now, I don�t use it all that much. Having said that, I wish to apologize in advance for any errors, omissions or breaches of etiquette. I am an avid collector of law enforcement uniform patches, or as we call them up here, shoulder flashes. I started informally while a Customs Inspector in Toronto and have continued the hobby more diligently since becoming a dispatcher. It has been an enjoyable endeavour which has allowed me to make a few lasting contacts around the world and foster a very positive and favourable image of law enforcement. I am contacting you in the hope that you might be willing and able to send a uniform patch from the Seminole County Sheriff's Office as it would make an excellent addition to my collection. I realize in the grand scheme of things requests of this nature are rather inconsequential to say the least, not to mention bothersome. I�m hoping my request might be passed on to a veteran officer with a few "spare" shirts or an employee with a similar collecting interest. Perhaps a fellow dispatcher might track down a used patch for a "colleague" (providing of course that it isn't against regulations) and forward it to me. I realize that with budget cutbacks and financial considerations it is sometimes difficult to accommodate such requests. I am certainly not looking for a new patch, one salvaged off a uniform that is no longer fit for wear would be more than suitable. In this day and age, security concerns are sometimes a factor and may have to be taken into account when considering these types of requests. My employment with our local police could be confirmed by e-mailing me at work [email protected]. The department also maintains a website at www.police.sudbury.on.ca and by using the general e-mail link found there my employment can also be verified. While my collection is of a personal nature, my supervisors are aware of my hobby and I have permission to use department letterhead and can send my request in writing on that letterhead should you wish to further allay any security concerns. If you are able to send the patch I'm requesting, it can be sent to the address below: GLEN SONIER 2425 LEBEL STREET SUDBURY ON P3A 2E4 CANADA If you prefer, I�d be more than happy to first send a self-addressed envelope to help minimize inconvenience and costs. Of course few things in life are free and I certainly anticipate some requests for patches from my department in return. Dispatchers with our department do not wear a uniform so I do not have an automatic supply of patches. I can usually manage to find officers on the road who after some good-natured grovelling and harassment will give me a few used patches. Our department recently changed its name to reflect an amalgamation of area towns. Prior to this reorganization we were known as the Sudbury Regional Police Service. As a result, I have a number of those previous uniform patches I could trade should you like one. As I stated earlier I am not exactly proficient on the Internet. I have been fairly successful in similar endeavours and though I try to keep track of where I have been and who I have contacted, the system is so vast and inter-connected that I sometimes inadvertently duplicate my efforts. If I have contacted you before please accept my apologies for bothering you again. In closing I wish to thank you for your time regardless of whether you can send a patch. If in fact you can forward a patch let me thank you in advance and assure you it is for my own private collection and will be treated with the same respect with which it was worn. I look forward to hearing from you, until then take care!
