Yeah exactly the "troopers of Brunswick County lead the state in arresting drunk drivers." They do not solve murder cases or have major drug bust or solve B&E's or go to domestic violence calls. So if Salt is sheriff what is he going to do get out on the roads and arrest drunk drivers and give speeding tickets and forget all the other duties a sheriff is responsible for?!? Being out on the road is all he knows, he has not had the experience that being a sheriff requires. And not everybody can be a state trooper and i am sure not everybody wants to be one either, we need county deputies and city police men also out there protecting their fellow citizens from other issues other than drunk drivers and people speeding(because we have troopers for that and the ACE team which has been implemented since Ingram took office). Troopers and deputies are two different departments and neither one is better than the other! Their duties are different and our state and Brunswick County need both departments!
