Ted Jackson has the trust of the men and women of the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. He has already done a great job in the position when the State asked him to take over for six months. They did that for a reason, he is the right man. With 32 years of experience in the FBI, and the wisdom of how to talk to people; no other candidate already has to proven record of success. He is a kind and intelligent man and will make working in the Sheriffs office a joy. And that is what this county deserves.

My name is Curtis Steven "JD" Farmer; I am a Sergeant Deputy Sheriff, with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. I have 20 years of experience with the Sheriff's Office. I'm called "JD" which is short for Jail Deputy.

It is my opinion that anyone campaigning to become SHERIFF of any Georgia, County should put the citizens first, after all we are asking for your vote to protect and serve you the citizens of the county. My, advice to you and your reader is to know your candidate agenda / platform. What are they going to do about Fulton County's growing crime rate, with no jail space, why are criminal that the local city police continuing to arrest are the same criminal back out on the street victimizing citizens . The Sheriff is the only law enforcement official that can successfully address this issue.

My goal as your Sheriff is to make justice a reality here in Fulton County. The Sheriff of Fulton County has to hold the judicial system of Fulton County accountable for the murders, aggravated assaults, burglaries (smash and grabs) and robberies of citizens and business owners. Remember justice delayed is justice denied.

As your Sheriff I will implement a Bond Violation Ordinance program. This bond ordinance will hold the Fulton County judicial system accountable and the recurring criminal(s) accountable for their legal actions. The Sheriff must put a stop to criminal returning to our communities with signature bonds and regular bonds. My bond violation program will hold criminals out on bond in jail, if they continue to victimize the citizens of Fulton County. United States VS. Salerno states that this would not be a violation of a person due-process. This process is called preventive detention. No, individual should be out on bond for more than one felony arrest at any given time.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office has to have a larger facility.

Fort McPherson Military Army Base will close in 2011. Fort McPherson Military Army Base closing, can benefit the entire county by becoming the new Fulton County’s thirty thousand bed space jail facility; at no purchasing cost to you the tax paying citizen of Fulton County.

The current Fort McPherson employees can remain on staff along with the recent lay off East Point, Fire Fighter. They can continue to protect and serve the citizens of Fulton County by become employee of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. The additional salaries for the Sheriff’s Office employees will come from misdemeanors cases that are adjudicated in Fulton County’s State Court.

On July 15, 2008, I need your vote to make justice a reality, here in Fulton County.

Thank you, again justice delayed is justice denied.

Creative loafing and the other media outlets should never endorse a candidate, you should post each candidate agenda and let the reader cast their own vote. The media projects the winner which influences the voters vote.

The media elected George W. Bush, with the help of Florida. The media elected Sheriff M. Freeman and other politician.

I encourage you and the voter of Fulton County to come out and ask question about your candidate, they can be personal question. Question of any type, question like who will run the day to day operation of the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. Please, do your home work? Look at your candidate campaign contribution disclosure report and see who they owe and you will see who will be running your Fulton County Sheriff's Office.

To Superman:

Ted Jackson has more supporters among the men and women of the Fulton County Sheriff's Office than any other candidate running for Sheriff of Fulton County. As a matter of fact, Mr. Jackson was called upon to run for this office by many of the men and women of the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. During his very short term as interim sheriff, Mr. Jackson boosted the morale within the department, he established excellent working relationships with judges and with other county departments. He provided immediate solutions to issues and problems not only in the department but in the community we serve. He MADE DECISIONS unlike our current so called leader. He respected and appreciated the hard work performed by the men and women in the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. In my opinion and in the opinion of many of the men and women in the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, he made a hugh difference. in the short time he lead the department. He deserves a chance to finish the job he started. Besides, it's not about what he has done...it's about what he will do when he is elected Sheriff of Fulton County. He will make the men and women of the Fulton County Sheriff's Office and the community we serve...proud!

Thank you Mr. Henry for offering this forum to educate the voters about the Fulton County Sheriff's race. I am offering myself for service to the citizens of Fulton County because I feel that the county deserves better, and I believe I can bring about positive change.

As all of the candidates vying for the position would agree, the sheriff's office is in need of change. And, by change I mean "real change"... not change that brings about the same results...not change from within a broken system...not change from those who have had (key word "had") commendable careers in law enforcement whoh have since retired.

I bring with me 20 years of jail management, corrections administration and law enforcement experience. I am currently a Major at the City of Atlanta Jail, and in addition to my 20 years of experience, I am a P.O.S.T Certified Jailer and a P.O.S.T. Certified Mandated Peace Officer. I am participating in the University of Georgia Correctional Leadership Institute, and I have a Bachelors Degree from Clark Atlanta University. I am a candidate for the Masters in Public Administration degree from Columbus State University. Best of all, there will be more to come because I am on "active duty" and still in the prime of my career.

What the voters get when they vote for me on Tuesday, July 15th is a FULL TIME sheriff. A sheriff who is energized and poised to move the Fulton County Sheriff's Office forward...not a sheriff who dodges the issues, but one who takes accountability and addresses them head on.

Let's get it right this time...Vote on July 15th and remember to "LOOK FOR LABAT"!!! I will make you proud.

Dear "Code8",

If Labat had such close ties with Freeman's administration and "handlers", perhaps some would have listened when he reached out to provide assistance to the Sheriff after the March 11 tragedy. But, they did not. Instead, they chose to let Freeman "handle it", getting on television and embarrassing us all. In the end Pennington had to step to the forefront to address the matter publicly... Obviously being Sheriff doesn't require a Harvard degree...but is it too much to ask for someone to be able to put together 2 straight (not skraight) lines of English???

As you point out, Labat is in fact well-connected... In fact, he has fostered relationships within the Sheriff's office as well as within other local, state and federal agencies. All of which will serve him well in office - as it will take a collaborative effort to rebuild the sheriff's office. And, while he should seek input when necessary, as any effective leader would do, to assume that he would be influenced by Freeman's handler's - or anyone else for that matter - to the detriment of the Sheriff's office or the County, shows you don't know Patrick Labat. A vote for Labat is an intelligent, informed vote. Watch the debate on Sunday... WPBA at 11:45am.

Yes, Patrick Labat is well connected. He managed to set a Marrietta police officer up for a term in prison. He was having an affair with his wife who worked for GBI. He along with Alanta Internal affairs coached her in how to set him up and then went to a judge in Douglas county Georgia ( David Emmerson), Got warrants for threats, kiddnapping, agravated assault and domestic violence. He went to prison for 18 months, Patrick Labat got his wife, stayed with his own wife and destroyed his life and hers. This man is another Dorsey. I guest the worst of it all was that he was a police officer with the Marietta Police department. This young man had promise in becoming a trusted leader and possiblly would have been suited the the officer of sherriff in Fulton count Georgia. If you need to verify this information, check the records in Paulding county Georgia, Douglas county Georgia and with the officials of the Marietta police Department. This was not his first time part-taking in such activities which resulted in the destruction of a family. I attended the trail of this young man and was floored with the lies and the testmony of wittnesses that pactrick Labat recruited. The wittnesses were employees that worked under his command at the Atlanta city jail. Ask yourself this question, " Is this the type of person that you want to lead the fulton county sherriff Department. His pattern of behavior is the same behavior that took Dorsey of Dekalb county to a sentence of Life plus ten years of incarceration. By the way Patrick Labat, He is doing very well now and you only dammed yourself. Remember this phrase, " There will come a time when the first shall be last and the last shall be first." You destroyed a man with promise for his wife. God will show you this again went it is time to pay for your misdeeds. God bless you!
