What a good hire!! Finally got somebody from the outside that hopefully will bring a fresh perspective to law enforcement in this dwindling little town. However, hopefully everyone will let the man do his job so that he can get the best results. Ok board, you hired him now leave him hell alone. Neither one of you know anything about law enforcement so don’t try. In fact, these stupid little reports at every board meeting needs to vanish. Hiring and firing is an executive session matter, so there’s no reason for frivolous reports for things none of you anyway!! Chief Borges, welcome to Magee. I pray for God to be with you and YOUR department. Look forward for something to be productive for once!!!
