you opine: “Sheriff departments, police departments need to be eliminated and the policing duties turned over to the state police. Like everything else in America there’s too damned much duplication and empire building!”

(I'm going to assume - hope - that you have that opinion, IbJensen, because you aren't aware that the Sheriff is our ultimate protection from those who would usurp our freedoms, not because you would like to see that protection taken from us.)

Our Sheriffs, the only ones elected by the ;local public, are the LAST ones we need to eliminate.

Our Sheriff dept are the LAW OF THE LAND - even over the Feds. They can kick the Feds out of their states. We need to totally be sure we have the right people in office and back them up 200%. They trump all other agencies....and more and more of them are getting educated to that fact.

Check and see if YOUR Sheriff knows this and/or will honor his office.

And educate yourself.

Here's a starter:

Might I humbly suggest that you - and all Freepers - listen to and save the above until you can cite verse an chapter.

and if you really give a damn, do some more research - starting with the following videos - and then checking online to see if YOUR state and local Sheriff departments and see if they are ‘Oath Keepers”.

Sherfidd Mack has done Herculean job since he punched Bubba and the Brady Law in the nose - via the SCOTUS - in educating out sheriff's - Here;s one example: (and there are some really interesting articles listed in the sidebar on that site)

and for those who give a damn about being anything but another nattering nabob, here's an in depth primer on our rights - with only the Sheriffs standing between us and feds: (If you don't want to educate yourself on our rights - then skip to minute marker 14:00 and learn how Sheriff Mack slayed Goliath...)

the short version - maybe y’all ahould print out and have handy should you ever need protection from the Jack booted gendarmes - or even to educate your sheriff -

The SHERIFF should be the FIRST you call when you need help...

I am an oath keeper who has rethought the pipe dream of the State police being the only force. I have changed that opinion and now understand that the elected sheriff should be any county’s head cop.
