Moneta, VA - At a time when public safety budgets are razor-thin a contribution to the Bedford County Sheriff's Office is even more meaningful. Deputies and local leaders held a ribbon-cutting Saturday morning for the new Downtown Moneta Sub-Station. The substation won't be manned, but it will be a place deputies can file reports from the field. It even has a phone outside for victims to dial 911. As part of the event, deputies held car seat safety checks, and brought a machine to simulate a crash at 10 mph. The best part about it the sheriff's office says the space won't cost tax-payers a dime because the Moneta Square Association donated it

Major Ricky Gardner, Bedford County Sheriff's Office - "When businesses like this, local businesses in particular, step up to the plate and walk the walk, and talk the talk, so to speak, it helps. It's free and we can't thank them enough for that."

The Bedford County Sheriff's Office says they have six other sub-stations throughout the county.

Brown you and your expensive habits need to go. Just Retire and go away.

It is obvious from this post and others by Mr. Hensley that concern Bedford County Sheriff's Office or Sheriff Mike Brown that he just has a bitter taste for the Sheriff and can not say anything good about the man or the department. There are many benefits from having a substation for the deputies to use, but Hensley can't see it for the hatred. And to suggest that an officer in this day and age would drink and work or take a snort(I assume he is speaking of drugs)-you gotta be kidding. Take a nap?-yeah I expect that sleeping on the job would be grounds for dismissal. Mr. Hensley, why don't you get a life or go away?
