Rutherford County sheriff’s office is going on a social network to connect with citizens.

The sheriff’s office launched its own Facebook page this week, said Sgt. James Harrell of the Community Service Unit.

“We’re hoping to connect with citizens in the county,” Harrell said. “We want Facebook to be successful to citizens interested in law enforcement efforts we are making at the sheriff’s office.”

Fans will get access to current and accurate information such as media releases, Most Wanted, current events, old photos of the sheriff’s office, new photos, videos and tips on safety and crime prevention. They will also receive information about Citizens Sheriff’s Academy classes.

The sheriff’s office wants fans to make suggestions and comments.

Deputy Greg Dotson said more than 150 people signed up the first afternoon.

“It’s awesome,” Dotson said of the first-day participation.

To sign up as a fan, sign onto Facebook and search for Rutherford County sheriff’s office. Click on the link and become a fan.

I also think that we have a great Sheriff's department and the community service guys do an outstanding job.

However, before it can be called progressive I would like to see the pay up to snuff with the surrounding agencies and perhaps some money forked over by the county commission so that their could be NCIC capable computers in every car and perhaps an upgrade to communications system so that the Deputies are able to be heard on their hand held radios in rural areas.

Who knows maybe even equip the cars with radar so that the Sheriff's Office could generate a little revenue for the county.

It has to get current before it can be progressive.
