In the meeting with residents I noticed that Major Meckley stated they say the spike in crime coming because of the long winter. Really? Wow, every summer is busy but you saw it coming. I am sure if you told this victim this should we feel better. You saw it coming……….WOW!!!! This is your Sheriff and his leaders at work, great job guys.
Ralph says
Gee whiz. We just were told that crime is down (probably because of that long – cold winter, and now crime is up – again because of that long cold winter. Ludicrous!! Just more mealy mouth rhetoric from Meckley. This new Major just doesn’t know when to shut up.
K says
Major Meckley is NOT a pawn of Sheriff Bane. As a matter of fact, if it’s the same Jack Meckley that I know, he ran AGAINST Sheriff Bane during the 2010 election cycle. Major Meckley has worked very hard, in a variety of capacities, for our Harford County Sheriff’s Department. Is there ANYBODY, ANYWHERE that isn’t fodder and ready to be ripped by Dagger readers?
Marc A Eaton says
Yeah, okay.
A realist says
Always about Meckley and Bane!!! At the end of the day, there was a woman sexually assaulted!!!! Guess none of you have daughters…
