[QUOTE="FullAuto, post: 2759849, member: 5110"] People don't realize how much those donations help their own community. I don't believe simply being a donor means you are unqualified. If they don't allow donors to be reserves, that will simply stop a lot of donations. There are certain reserve positions that will pay at OSCO. Although I never donated to a campaign, I never accepted a check from OCSO when I was there. I basically "donated" back the pay for the paid positions I worked. A sheriff is an elected position. Of course the office is going to be political. It's a different environment from a city police department. I don't think that makes it necessarily any better or worse, it's just different. The real issue is training. Either you are qualified or you aren't. The unqualified donors working are an ethics issue. [/QUOTE]
