Construction of Huerfano police station begins
If they did that and the Deputies made an arrest on the Navajo Nation you realize they would have to drive to Crownpoint to put them in jail? That wont work. (17 hrs ago | post #14)
San Juan County Sheriff announces early retirement
Those who are bad mouthing Melton need to get a clue. If you like the guy or not he has served this community for over 20 years taking murders and idiots off the street. How many of you can say that? Yeah, yeah, he knew what the job was before he started but it takes special people to be cops and this guy was a good one. What I cant believe is Christesen is running on the "Anti-Good Ole Boy" slogan. Please, the man has been a Good Ole Boy since the Davidson days. Dont believe his hype. Wait until we see everbody who is running before you make up your minds please. (Saturday Dec 12 | post #32)
County to build Huerfano station for Navajo PD
Stop being racist. The state and county officers go south to help on calls and meet this type of racisim all the time. The residents down south call when they are victims and want help right now. They pay taxes and want police service which is understandable. However, if an officer goes down and wants to talk to that same "victim" under other circumstances, they are flat out told that they are on a sovereign nation and dont have to talk to them. You cant have it both ways. Years ago a Deputy was assaulted on a family fight call at DZ. The suspect was charged with hitting a Police Officer but the charge was dropped later because the Courts said the deputy had no Jurisdiction there and therefore was not considered a police officer on the Rez. Can you blame them for not wanting to go on calls out there? (Friday Nov 20 | post #34)

DWI ruling not a problem in N.M.
Its a no win situation. If a cop pulls over anyone other than white they are called racist. If they pull over a white then they are anti-white. If a Native American Cop pulls over a Native American they are called a traitor. Get over it people. Quit making excuses and except the fact that people get stopped all the time.

Joy ride in police car leads to arrest
Hey idiot. Have you seen the video they had on the news. Kinda blows your side of the story out of the water. All cop cars have videos now days so you should really get your lies straight. (Sep 12, 2009 | post #41)
State trooper ignores stranded teacher

What do you think of Michael Vick signing with the Eagles?
He has paid for his crime and now deserves to play some football. (Aug 16, 2009 | post #5)
McCloskey steps away, but who will be sheriff?
Wow, and you try and lecture Whats Up on his opinion then express one just as slanted. Everyone has their own opinion but you seem to think you are the only one that should express theirs. I have only one thing to say. You dont even know who's running yet but you already are professing your support for one? That appears a little close minded to me. Wait until March of next year then there should be a few more names in the mix. Research all of them, talk to the men and women who work at the Sheriff's Office and see what they think, then make an informed decision. If you still like Christesen then, well good for you but being close minded now makes no sense. (Aug 15, 2009 | post #116)
McCloskey steps away, but who will be sheriff?
Agreed, ask someone who has worked for these guys and get their opinion. (Aug 13, 2009 | post #100)
McCloskey steps away, but who will be sheriff?
We will just have to agree to disagree on this issue. I dont know that most of the people that have worked with him felt him to be a fair supervisor but again ask some of the deputies. Rumors are all over the place so ask someone who works there what they think. (Aug 2, 2009 | post #54)
Man arrested for vehicular homicide
Please put some pressure on the DA. Let them know we are not joking and to put this guy away for a long time. Do you know that the DA thinks that this is just an accident? This is not an Accident, it is murder. Dont let the DA pull one over on us. (Aug 1, 2009 | post #33)
Commercial motor vehicle enforcement to increase
i applaud your positive attitude. You bring credit to those in your pofression. (Aug 1, 2009 | post #9)
McCloskey steps away, but who will be sheriff?
Agreed, Christensen should never be considered for this job or rather voted into the job. I am not suprised about no one else having anounced their running yet, dont they normally do it around January? We should all wait and see who runs. Also its a great idea to talk with the Deputies about what they think of Christensen or anyone else who runs. (Aug 1, 2009 | post #50)
