An alphabetical listing of the agencies participating in the NSMDTF to date are the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office (SO); the Gadsden County SO; the Chattahoochee Police Department; the Gulf County SO; the Jackson County SO; the Jefferson County SO; the Leon County SO; the Liberty County SO; the Taylor County SO; and the Wakulla County SO,” he said. Under Florida statute, Florida sheriffs have the authority to enter into combined mutual aid agreements for law enforcement services. Sheriff Wayne Padgett credits and thanks the hard work and teamwork of each of the rural sheriffs who work together to make each county safer. He said he also remains adamantly committed to the fight against those that choose to manufacture, deliver, traffic or sell illegal drugs in Taylor County. “Sheriff Padgett wants drug dealers to understand this very simple message: If you choose to introduce or sell poison into this county, particularly methamphetamine, you cannot only count on, but expect, to find yourself in jail and your mugshot on a media release at some point in your future. Either stop selling drugs or move. Those are your options,” Cash said.

Editor’s Note: The following is a personal thank you written by local resident Debra Porter on behalf of the community’s support of a veteran in need. Today was another day blessed… I need to thank so many people that stepped forward to help me help a disabled veteran. Rick rides his bike (the same one he has ridden since 1974) from Louisiana to Florida every year with his little service dog, Mongo. Sadly, this year some people down south robbed him, taking most of his things and tearing up his bike. But, he continued to head home. His bike, which no longer had any brakes, finally gave out. So, the alarm sounded: A VETERAN NEEDED HELP. Rocking the stands I made some calls, sent some messages and went from person to person. I am extending a “THANK YOU, THANK Taylor County High School band alumni from years past joined current band members in the YOU, THANK YOU” to: The Elks Club, Perry Pawnbrokers, stands at Friday night’s Homecoming game at Dorsett Stadium.
