Within a couple of minutes, literally minutes, they had cleaned out almost three dozen boxes of remote control cars and trucks. High-end stuff -- I mean, this stuff is not the kind of toys you find at the local toy store.

If they continue to miss targets, there can be increasing degrees of state control as necessary, ... We're very much monitoring that school. We're there 24/7, so to speak.

If you get one, chances are you're going to get most of them. These guys aren't big on loyalty. If you pick one of these guys up, generally they turn on their friends. They think they're going to get a better deal. If you find one, you generally find the rest.

Our preference is not to discuss these cases because they're ongoing and involve informants and information that we don't want to jeopardize.

Our number one priority is public safety, and that hasn't changed. But the cost is what it is. A deputy costs a certain amount, so do cars and gas. We aren't making a profit here, and that's important to remember.

No deputy or trooper will fault you for traveling an extra 50 feet to get someplace safe. You don't have to stop on a dime when you see the blue lights behind you. You have to find the safest place you can stop.
