Polk County's Grady Judd is the best! 👍

Back when I was growing up, kids like that would be spotted washing police cars, fire Engines, county trucks, etc all Summer long and on the weekends during school year ... always new where to find them.

If only every law enforcement official were that open!

Loved not protecting the identity of the little bastards.

[econjack]

I hope they make an example of them. This is getting out of hand.

This is why I love living in Polk county. He will tell you if someone kicks your door in to rob you then blow them right back out the door. And if you take a shot at one of his deputies they will hunt you down and find you and kill you.

My thoughts exactly.

[bigbob]

I’ll bet he has no problem with recruitment or retention either.

KILL YOU DEAD; GRAVEYARD DEAD, IIRC

I LOVE Sheriff Judd

The problem is that Judd is an exception that gets attention.

I worked at two different LE departments in Texas, mid-70s, and we, and all the nearby departments with whom we worked, were like Judd’s department. We enforced the law, fairly, without taking any crap from anyone.
