Low information. He is not a "councillor". I hope your family never needs the services he fought for. Thank you Matt and Lori.

Just ONCE I'd like to see a citizen of our county that does NOT have a government related title win these awards. There are plenty of people in our community who contribute in a variety of impactful ways who don't have the gov't connections or power or funding. They see a need and reach out on their own time, money, and effort. Where's the recognition for them?

So, this is what he has been doing rather than going after all the dope dealers in town. Must have learned this from Mike Lewis, he don't do his job either, just runs around looking for another award, and a photo opt.

You have no clue, 1:14. And little understanding of the law enforcement system.

1:26 I see what goes on here in town, drugs are selling free at every corner, and people are dying by the scores because of this. Law Enforcement is only concerned with shoplifting.

To the Sheriff and Matt you both have done a great job. We have a county that stands together. I am proud to be a part of a county that ALL people seem to stand together. Keep up the fight.

4:14 I guess you blame these men because people choose to stick a needle in their arm. I would guess you are a non issue in this war on drugs and crime. Roll up your sleeves and do something. Talk is cheap and easy.
