The Guru

Hi all- I'm on jury duty this week and they didn't need me today so I grabbed a sheet of paper on the way out with a number to call to check and see if they would need me tomorrow. Now it's time to call and I can't find that darned paper anywhere. Does anyone here know the phone number for the recording that tells what groups they will be needing tomorrow?

I didn't move to Paulding so I could put iron bars on my windows to protect my property. Let me be clear, I EXPECT law enforcement to catch criminals. I will not be satisfied with "they are doin

Give them a chance?? The first of the PCSD's chances started two weeks ago with the first report. What have they done since that time? Six DAYTIME break-in's later and no visible step up in patrols noticed by ANYONE in the neighborhood, victims who are apparently getting no satisfaction, no communication between investigators and residents. Is there even an investigation going on? Is there a detective assigned? What is the patrol schedule? Sorry but your certainty about what the department knows doesn't make me worry less about the safety of my property. The question is what is law enforcement
