Injury Attorney Bernard F. Walsh and Florida State Representative Julio Gonzalez were among the attendees of the Sarasota County Sheriff's Advisory Board meeting.
PRLog - Jan. 26, 2015 - SARASOTA, Fla. -- Bernard Walsh of the Shapiro Goldman Babboni & Walsh Law Firm and State Representative Julio Gonzalez took part in the meeting and listened to Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight as he brought the advisory board up-to-date on the current approach to reducing crime rate in Sarasota.

Sheriff Knight noted under his direction there has been a 30% reduction in crime in Sarasota County.  Sheriff Knight elaborated that ordinances on pill mills and scrap metal theft have been very helpful in reducing the overall crime rate.

However Sheriff Knight outlined pressing concerns facing Sarasota County, such as over the counter designer drugs that have resulted in several deaths.  Sheriff Knight is awaiting ordinances by the County Commissioners outlawing these drugs to help address the problem.

Attorney Bernard Walsh had this comment about the meeting, “It’s encouraging to hear the progress Sheriff Knight and the other offices of the Sheriff's office have made in reducing crime in Sarasota.  Attending the Sheriff's Advisory Board Meeting is a great way to get to know the concerns law enforcement have for the residents of Sarasota County as well as get a better understanding of what the Sheriff's office is working to achieve.  It's important for attorneys to work with law enforcement in any capacity to be familiar with the law enforcement in their local community and the Sheriff's Advisory Board is a great way to stay informed.”
