" You are, as you suspected, incorrect. The sheriff is an elected official. The mayor is an elected official. The mayor appoints the Chief of Police. Persons interested in the position of police officer or sheriff's deputy apply for those positions just like they would in ANY OTHER COMPANY. These applicants are then screened and interviewed just like they would be for ANY OTHER COMPANY. Yes, officers sometimes “slip through the cracks.” But if you don’t think that happens in ANY OTHER COMPANY, I encourage you to watch Undercover Boss Sunday nights on ABC. The “Richland County” and “City of Sidney” companies have their problems just like ANY OTHER COMPANY. The CEOs of these companies (Brad Baisch and Frank DiFonzo, respectively) do what they can to coach their employees and fix potential issues just like (you guessed it) ANY OTHER COMPANY. The sheriff's department and police department, though housed in the same building, and occasionally working the same cases, are two separate entities. Please check your facts before you run your mouth. And ESPECIALLY before you vote. Because if you think ANYONE you elect will be able to solve ALL the problems in the city or county, you are again, incorrect. "

Also, why is it that the Herald creates this oppurtnity to give input via blogs but screens those comments so readily? Seems to me like the Herald is also influenced by the "small town" mentality.

" The Sheriff is the only elected law enforcement in the county so he is actually over the police who are all appointed. (They way I understand it)Not to say he is their supervisor, but has the authority to handle problems in the city if they aren't being handled. After all the felonys go to the "county" attorney including the ones in the cities from what I can tell in the paper. Look at the current elected official that is suspected of committing a crime that is in the city. The "county" attorney is handling the case. It stands to reason that the "county" sheriff can conduct business in the city if things aren't being done, but CHOOSES not to. So the comments about "it doesn't effect me in the county or people out of sidney, so it's not a sherrif department problem" isn't really true. How selfish can one be. That is what is so sad. What if my friend is having problems but that is ok, (they live in town) but it's not me. What if there was someone that could do something and chooses not too, like an elected "county" official.

Exception: I know of the rumor of the person that had marijuana shipped to his house and was caught but was never charged. If it's true, he lives in Sidney city limits so that would be the police department's case and not the sheriff department's case, so the elections would have nothing to do with it anyways.

Try being the officer who has to make these decisions every day and then hear the unknowledgeable responses which follow.
I will say this unless you have personally lived the life of an officer and know the daily on and off shift stresses they can face, then don't speak out of ignorance. This county and city do have current problems, but I would like to ask everyone to find out the facts before continuing to gossip.

" I tip my hat to candidates who are willing to get out there and run for a office.. I do feel sometimes our "elected officials' become complacent and believe the position they hold will be there's as long as they want it. We all know where this attitude can lead in any other work place. It should be "out the door Amigo." I myself feel a new face with fresh ideas is a good thing. Just because a person has held a position for the past fifteen, ten years doesn't necessarily mean they are the best product my dollar can buy. Most of us trade our cars in when the audometer starts showing a few miles. Tune ups just don't do it anymore. Yes the car served me well however a new and improved model will serve me even better.
I'll be looking for a "trade in" come fall. "

" We need to elect a Clerk and Recorder who already works in the office. The current employees shouldn't have to waste time training a new boss. Elect Stephanie or Peggy. They are the only canidates that have experience in running the office. "
