Sandstone County Sheriffs Department - To Serve, To Protect, To Get Rid of All Dirtbag Criminals by 2026

At roll call one morning, the sergeant of the Sandstone County Sheriffs Department announced that they were searching for two stolen vehicles. On duty later, a deputy called his dispatcher to say he had spotted one of the cars. They asked him to keep it in sight until they could get to him. Five minutes passed before they called back to see if he still had the vehicle in sight. "Yes," he replied, "it's now at the corner of Third and Walker Street." After another five minutes they called again. "It's now at Seventeenth and Walker Street," he reported. Ten minutes later dispatch asked if he was keeping a safe distance from the car so that the driver wouldn't notice he was being followed. "Yes," he panted breathlessly, "but I don't know how much longer I can keep this up and when am I going to be assigned a patrol car, anyway." That's when they realized Officer Hidrent had been, yet again, chasing these cars on foot!
