Excluding Monroe EMS from Post Incident Debriefing Was a Violation of H.R. 5852

Sheriff Tommy Jones may have violated several federal laws by excluding Monroe County EMS from the post incident debriefing in the recent "Alijah Kensinger Amber Alert" in the Coker Creek Community.

"The Homeland Security Act" was amended in 2006 adding hr5852,   (5) which includes provisions for inter-agency inter-operabilty and cooperation to 'conduct extensive outreach to foster the development of interoperable emergency communications capabilities by State,  regional,  local governments,  and public safety agencies.'

It also describes ways to (8)  'promote the development of best practices to facilitate the sharing of information for achieving,  maintaining,  and enhancing inter agency cooperation capabilities for such response.'

For The Second Time in the DA's Race, Hatchett Gets The Axe

Two candidates including long-time DA wannabe Steve Hatchett, lost to their opponent despite having many times more road-side placards.  In the past, Hatchett admitted that his ability to hold the public trust was "time-limited" so if elected, he would only serve two terms.  That was one of the most absurd comments ever heard from anyone seeking public office, much less from a member of the legal profession.  

In a bid to unseat Criminal Court Judge Sandra Donaghy, her opponent in the race "Rush to Judgement" Paul Rush likely had 10 times more road signs;  but nevertheless, he lost the election.  The disciplinary actions against Rush by the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility while he was an assistant DA under DA Bebb, is still fresh in the  public's memory.
