    Don’t be so sure on that. I am sure they have announced drug stings before….Maybe not the exact locations but drug dealers know where that is. LOL

    Can we say smart intelligent county officials?????

    Northender I dont know why you despise Sheriff Morgan the way you do. I guess you were happy with McNesby and his shooter. If Sheriff Morgan launched a 4am raid, ransacking homes and dragging people into the street, you would be screaming NAZI. For thoses of you with a BOOM BOOM problem, I have found a little BOOM BOOM works miracles in getting rid of the BOOM BOOM. It has been quite around here for a while.

    What is needed is fines on people who turn thier yards and land into dumps. They go to What a burger and head down the road throwing their trash out. Police need to park and catch these people and use the law that is on the books. we have a sound law which is not being inforced. I live 200 ft off the road and you can hear them coming for a mile, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. And when they pass the drive out comes the trash and beer bottles. Why do you warn the crooks that you are going to make a sweep, Very smart! They go across the line for a couple of days and come back and set up shop.

    This is what it says, a clean sweep.It is announced for people who any other given day could care less about their property to drag junk to the right of way for free pick-up. Im sure if it was a sting it would not be announced.

    What’s the point since advertising? If I was a criminal I would have plenty of time to move my goods! UNREAL!

    429SCJ says Morgan is competent. Competence is not telegraphing criminals that you are coming!!! If the good folks of Escambia County cannot see that Morgan is on the re-election campaign, photo-op express, then you might be blind.

    Maybe it’s just me, but I really don’t think they should have announced this clean up and gave the areas. It’s like going to war and telling the enemy when and where you will strike. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I really wish they would do a surprise clean up. Then they would really clean house!!
