Suwannee County Sheriff Tony Cameron and Wellborn Neighborhood Watch coordinator Russell Smith.
WNW leaders for 2011 were elected on January 27, 2011
Russell Smith is coordinator
Bruce Campbell is co-coordinator
Ruth Ford is Secy/treas.
Jane Campbell is Publicity/Program
Our sheriff was the guest speaker for this meeting (always the final Thursday of the month @ 7 PM in the Blake Lowe WVFD Training Center building next to Wellborn Community Park)
Sheriff Tony Cameron brought the good news that stats for 2010 show decrease in crime in the East side (Wellborn side) of the county. He thanked WNW for their help. The not so good news is that crime in general is up. He suggest the economy and drug use are contributing factors. Burglaries are up especially those connected with selling copper. Recent legislation requires ID for the seller.
These compiled stats are given to the sheriff describing the different categories of his many responsibilities; burglaries, shop lifting, vehicle theft,DUI, non violent crime, violent crime, sex crime, emergency planning and more.
Some up, some down, compared with 2009 numbers. Personally, said he, "It was a tough year". It would have been lots tougher, tho', without the good working relationship within the department and with the surrounding law enforcement people.
He foreshadowed a new and updated film about the Sheriff Department's work to be available soon.
