Sheriff Hunter Nelms and Major Doris Schonbrunner arrived early for today's County Council Meeting where they sat VERY patiently for more than an hour so they could introduce two new County Deputy Sheriffs. Mr. Ted Mc Laughlin came from the Maryland Transit Authority and Mr. Tom Brannan was a former City of Salisbury Police Officer as well as Pokomoke City Police Officer.
The Sheriffs Department will be hiring a total of 14 new Officers this year alone. 9 Officers were allocated to work in the County Schools out of the 14 they'll be hiring. 4 have been hired and 5 are just going through the final touches before they are formally hired, which will be very soon.
On a personal note, it would be nice for the County Council to recognize these Officers are in fact on the job and could certainly put to better use their time on the streets and not sitting in chairs waiting to introduce these new Officers. I do understand there was a busy schedule for the Council today but the Citizens should come first and everyone else could have waited for what took about 30 seconds for the Sheriffs Department to get through.
Thanks Gentlemen and all the very best to both of you!

I have never seen new deputies paraded in front of the council before. It looks like a way for Major Doris to get some free publicity. I had no idea she even existed until she started running for sheriff.
Mike Lewis for Sheriff!!
