You know what\'s worse than coming to work in the morning?

[Grey Colson]

Stopping at the gym and being on the step machine for 20 minutes, and then being called back in for 2 hours :BH

MOMMY MAKE IT STOOOOOOP! :'(

Thank you for clearing that up before I had to.

By the way, what is the difference between the Cobb County Sheriff's Dept. and the Cobb County Police Dept?

So they are two different entities? That sounds a little redundant. Why have both?

Well, no ... not really. But could be, depending on how each department is set up.

A long story short, the Office of the Sheriff is a State Constitutional Office and must be elected by the citizens of that County. A County Police Chief is appointed by the County BOC and serves the BOC, at their leasure, not the citizens of the County.

There are some functions that only the SO can do as required by the state constitution and there are functions the Sheriff can deligate to the PD, usually because the BOC cuts the SO's budget to the point that they have no choice. The SO can provide all LEO duties without a County PD, but a PD cannot function without the Sheriff.

Until the late 80's or early 90's, a County could form a PD without citizen approval. Henry County was the last one done that way. But now it must be approved by citizen vote before a County PD can be formed by a BOC.

Does that help?

NO - but you make it sound like the BOC got ticked off and formed their own police dept.

Old Sheriff Kermit Sanders, in the late 50's as I was told, hired 2 patrolmen to work Cobb County traffic and we haven't been able to get rid of them since :'(
