Elk County Sheriff's Office Facebook Page To Be Shutdown!!

[CCarl]

Here is the post from the SO's page -
[NOTE; Misspellings and grammatical errors are not mine!]

"Sheriff Walker would like to thank the Elk County community for their support. Elk County has a lot of great people in it.
However it looks like the Elk County Sheriff office Facebook page has been reported by a few that don't like our post, that don't like us doing our job, or has a different way they think it should be done. As a few on here that have been or are in Law Enforcement know the actual Laws and understand that you have information that cannot be put out to the public.
Facebook will be shutting our page down permanently within 24 hours. Yes, we will continue to work on the drug problems moving forward. There will be no more post from our Facebook page. Sheriff Walker said that if notifications need to go out to our community for an emergency situation, it will be sent over the new alert system the County has put in place.
Sheriff Walker said that if you would like to be added to the alert system you will need to contact the Elk County Emergency Management office.
Sherrif Walker invites anyone that has concerns or is having problems in their area, to contact the Elk County Sheriff's Office at 620-374-2108."

Well now, it sure sounds like the Sheriff is blaming a few County residents that do not care for the SO's performance for Facebook's action. Remember, this is an election year for the Sheriff. We'll probably never be told what triggered Facebook's action, but I can't imagine the complaints about the SO's job the last few days are a reason for Facebook to use.

Time to check how many County SO's in Kansas are not present on Facebook. What are the odds the Elk County SO is the only one? And the Sheriff's message seems to say he doesn't care, it's our loss, not the SO's.
