The citizens have time to think about the safety and welfare of the community as a whole. Not just the average people on the street, but those who the county hires to protect these citizens. The Henry County Government is doing a poor job at providing the necessary items that the police department needs to do their job properly. They are doing an outstanding job with the tools they have currently, but at a shortage of personnel and proper equipment. This became apparent recently when a hostage standoff occurred and two of the HCPD swat team members were wounded. It doesn't look good for other jurisdictions to have to come and take care of a problem in the county. It takes away from the security of those other jurisdictions. The Henry County Board of Commissioners need to provide more funds to equip and train our police better and to hire more people to do the job properly. This has been an ongoing problem with the county for some time now. These people in blue deserve better. If those on the Board of Commissioners cannot provide the needed funds for these people then, there needs to be a better Board of Commissioners elected to do the right job for the citizens of this county.
