What could he do with his Four years of experience? Oh I forgot that he claims he has 20 years experience. I don't know how serving as a reserve one or two days a year add up to twenty. If you give him the benefit of the doubt and say he worked ten days a year as a reserve for 15 years that comes up to 150 days that less than 6 months of experience add that to his 4 years with the sheriff's department that would give him about 4 1/2 years of experience so where did the 20 years of expierence come from. By the way the four years he was with the department he worried more about setting up basketball tournments for inmates not considering the safety of the deputies. I dont know where he come from but The safety of his officers should have been his first priority.
Sheriff Burkhalter has proved that he it interested in his community from the children all the way to the seniors of this fine community. Can anyone disprove that?
OUCH!

Ding Ding......Round one here we go! Lets see would saving the county money mean that he would disapprove the pay raise or not even back up the officers on that issue????????? Hulsey just sounds like a good politician that "they just want to save money"!
Tim has done and is doing a very good job for the community and for his deputies. He has stood behind the deputies and the community when they need help. The programs that Tim has started are outstanding and if they were to be stopped "to save money" then it would have a big impact on the community in a negative way. Tim has my vote and until someone can prove that he is being ineffective for the department and the community then he should stay!!!!!!!!!!!

When I read Hulsey's Bio in the paper, I was a bit concerned.................................................what exactly is the Sheriff's Department doing currently that Hulsey does not agree with???????? What I'm reading into the "back to the basics" comment is that he would fill the jail back up with boarders, to earn money from other counties, while maintaining the ridiculous staffing at the jail and putting jailers at an even greater risk...............................a bit worrisome to me that a person potentially in charge of MANY lives, innocent and guilty, would be most concerned about the "bottom line"........................
Years of Bean counters are the reason floyd county has ended up in this position with the most miserably staffed public safety agencies in the region...............

Ok time for my two cents. I did not support Tim when he ran against Tommy mainly because I knew Tommy way back when he did security at McDonalds. After seeing what Tim has done since being in office he has my full support. I will even allow a sign to be put in my yard. Grate job Tim keep up the good work.

Fiscal management is paramount for any department head. The programs are nice, but you have to weigh the cost of the losing battle of Meth! To me the basics are the fundamentals.

Your name and post make me wonder! I sure do hope that you are not thinking that Steve is the star contender! Ok, so you are saying that Tim should take the dept backwards in stead of forward?
Tim's job is not to catch the meth addict, but believes that it is part of his job to educate the community. How are is the public to reconginze the signs if no one tells them? This to me is money well spent. If the public does not know the signs then we would surely lose the battle.

Basics are your fundamentals of what. Sounds like you want a po-dunk sheriffs dept!!!!!
We are not talking about baseball here. We are talking about reaching out to the community on the meth epedimic!!!its about teaching kids how to make good decisions in life. The current sheriff dept is being proactive. For too long the department has been reactive, by being reactive my friend is the very reason we have started behind the curve on the meth problem in this community.
I believe TIM has done a good job in the fiscal management. What you seem to suggest is that the department should turn off the lights and pretend no one is at home. HELLO we need to support our youth. You only lose when you take you approach and do nothing

Hmm is this about the Meth education or are you one of those that does not like the fact that Tim educates and also that he stands behind his officers and fights for raises and due payments. I bet you are one of those that would rather have the money in your pocket to go spend on your new car and cigars while officers get killed without proper training and equipment. That you would turn a blind eye to drugs as you get your money to go spend on trips and parties.
That is what is wrong with our country now, and what is turning a mighty great wonderful nation into a country that others now look at as pathetic and getting weak.

A department head responsibility is to develop subordinates, oversee safety, ensure the subordinates are equipped to carry out their tasks, coordinate plans, develop and implement long and short range goals for continued improvement and manage day to day affairs also. Fiscal management is a factor in the job responsibilities but certainly isn't the paramount issue, just a piece of the whole picture.
If as a department head, anywhere, their not bothering about the rest then they are not fulfilling the job they were hired for.

| The words "Back to the Basics" concerns me. I recently had the chance to talk with a deputy who works at the Sheriff's Office. After talking with him and hearing of all the different programs that the current Sheriff has brought to be. I felt really good. It has been a long time since we of Floyd County have had a Sheriff that has done so much for the people of Floyd County. If you are not familiar with all he has done, stop one of the deputies and ask them. The current Sheriff's Office has programs for children in schools, parents, and senior citizens. What amazed me, was the fact that a majority of these programs are made possible at no cost to the taxpayer. Not only does the Sheriff volunteer his time,but so do a lot of his deputies. Most of the programs are truly awesome when you hear about them. The current Sheriff's Office is one of the best we have had in along time. We must remember when the current Sheriff ran for his office, he ran on being a positive in the community, he has really kept his word.If you notice I keep using the word "Office", this was pointed out to me by the deputy. He told me they were an "Office" , not a department, and that the Sheriff was elected to Office. So my concern is which of the programs that our current Sheriff helps provide to the community would someone wanting to get "Back to the Basics" want to do way with. The programs are provided at no charge why would you do away with it to get "Back to the Basics". Last I saw our current Sheriff was doing the basics and providing more for the community. It doesnt take a smart man to figure out if your getting what need (The Basics) and getting more why would you want to do away with the more. When I talked to the deputy I could see that he had pride in his Sheriffs Office. He knew what they were doing was a good thing. That is why"Back To The Basics" scares me. What kind of person would want to back his office up, when it has already gone foward. If it by chance means something to do with the budget issues, I recently read the Sheriff's Office Report and it looks like to me that not only did it ( the Sheriff's Office )make money for the county(that the Sheriff's Office doesnt receive), but they came in under buget. If I am wrong , I just dont see it. Maybe " Back To The Basics" has just been misinformed. I'm just trying to figure out what he means. At the current rate I can assure you all where my vote will have to go. It is not just your BASIC vote, I can assure you.

Go Tim
Show them that you not only have the Basics covered but A H*ll of alot more.
I feel one of the basics is covered just by the general concern for the well being of this community.
Who ever said it was right about deputies take great pride in helping people.
The deputies in this Office enjoy helping children, teens, adults and the seniors of floyd county and they continue to accomplish this without asking for anything in return. This stems from and under the current LEADERSHIP of Sheriff TIM BURKHALTER. Tim has always had a vision on how he could give back to this community. He was involved while working as a Deputy and now is more involved as the Sheriff. Tim now is able to share his vision with his deputies and now they are able to become more involved in the community.
In short I would call this Basics covered plus more
