investigating a murder 8 miles south of town in Barnwell?? The county Sheriff's Dept. ought to be taking care of their country folks down there -- not us; our boys and girls in blue have their hands full just watchin out for us real taxpaying residents here in town!! :gulp:

It's called Mutial aid. WIth you being a retired firefighter, you ought to be very familiar with this term. Neighboring departments help each other out whether it be police or fire, every day when resources or manpower are short. Must things always be about money? It's about helping each other. Maybe you should take your money and move back to where you came from if you don't like it here.

Although Barnwell is 8 miles south of Fairhope it is still in the Fairhope Police Jurisdiction so they are the ones who should be handling the case. As for taxes we pay them as well!
