He’s a great guy!!
The job description sounds like he'll be a busy man.
Good luck !!
It takes a certain type person to climb through the ranks of that office. He must be quite the team player.
He's always been a straight up Guy, best of Luck D'lo.
Two really good guys. He couldn’t find two better yes men if he tried.

I agree 100% and who knows, if they play their cards right they might even be able to share some of the weight of those pending federal indictments. My guess would be that picks 1-4 left with the last undersheriff.
The Sheriff is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
how does anyone retain their job in the RCSO? don’t question the goons
The goon squad still exists, but they are on the down low until the heat is off.
If the guy was chief of investigations and chief of patrol he has to be knowledgeable about the Goon squad or he isn't good at his job.
May want to prepare to pay big law suit settlement and not be promoting big money raises$$$
Maybe he can run for Sheriff next time.
D’lo is as good as they come. Surprised he agreed to that awful position. They’re losing key personnel at that department. The new Chief Deputy has never worked a day on patrol. Killing morale. Thanks Irl Dean! Wait until you see the next pick for Sheriff lol.
Always good until the aren’t.
I don’t doubt this man. I wish him the best and I pray that Jesus will guide him to wisdom. I doubt his boss. Aka Rankin’s devil
Kinda like Irl Dean's Judgement he Never Paid Rankin County for Depositing Funds in Rankin County Bank he was a majority Stockholder in until he decided to sell to Trustmark. He's never made that Obligation whole either. His ex Son-in Law is the Sheriff, another ex Son-in Law is a Supervisor also. Needless to say Sheriff's brother -in-law has a Responsible position in the Rankin SO structure also. My how times have-haven't changed in Rankin County the last 35 Years. Irl Dean still thinks he runs things here while Hosting the Club at McLains Lodge. Yall need to dig a little Deeper into Rankin County Politics-
@9:34 sounds like you know a few things. So did you receive Friday's email?
@9:34 PM Did you get rid of your challenge coins?

You sir nailed on the head! Irl Dean is one criminal telling another criminal what to do ! He hangs with BB to keep his finger in the pie .
The sheriff is making $140,000 a year. The governor makes $122,000 a year. We are living in a bizzarro world. State law caps it at $110,000.
