Because those kind of criminals or oftentimes hard to catch. Even when the police does catch the dealers or traffickers they are still asked why didn’t y’all do this or that. If you don’t agree with it then go put in an application, I am sure they are understaffed. Also, if a drunk driver is not something that matters to you then you need to check yourself.
@TNT
Did you miss the part about him being impaired and driving? What if he killed somebody? Is that not a big deal? Smoke weed if you want, but don’t do it while driving.

Atmore has police jurisdiction out to Canoe. It’s something they worked out with the sheriffs dept awhile back.
I’m sure the Sheriff’s department would appreciate you applying to work with them, TNT.
tnt get hit by a drunk or stoned driver, you will have a different out look on life. Glad they got him off the road.
Why can’t yall get the pedophiles out the street though? Or the dealers ? Or the traffickers ? Or the rapist ? Or the murderers ? Y’all want the easy work and not the important work that actually means something. Our country has failed us
Good job atmore getting these drug addicts off the streets
Cowpen Creek Road is near Canoe Alabama, I would think that the Escambia Alalbama Sheriff would have jurisdiction?
What are the boundaries of the Atmore Police Department’s jurisdiction?
Good thar Mr Mathis was removed from the road.
