I’m glad to see we will have more Boots on the Groind but the need would be deminished if some more funding went for mental health, serious tetoxification and rehabilitation.

Sergent’s Not officers? Typical they should have told us the funding was for cops and prosecutors . It would have never passed . Next up a new Jail that downy is trying to procure .He will use more arrests and with the new prosecution staff .He will reapply for a new Jail .Typical humboldt county good ol boy funding scam

Remember Downy has under his authority officers who smuggled drugs into the jail ,killed a woman drunk driving on a motor cycle ,blew off a little girls had with illegal fire works . Corruption in the good ol boy network .None of these officers would ever pass the chp screening . The number 10 most dangerous job being a cop #10 not as dangerous as they make you believe

Downey IS corrupt. He is only pretending to care about the public and suddenly promoting people and posting job listings because the public has grown sick of his neglect. We need to vote him out. he is killing our economy and let our people be robbed blind. He is all about publicity. trying to make him self look like a hot shot cop busting the growers. downey is a hack.
