It's frightening to think that Jesse Bane may hire from within to fill the warden vacancy, when actually, he should be cleaning house with most of his top command staff. There is too much inbreeding going on and we need some intelligent life out there keeping us safe. When I occasionally drive by the detention center, I can't help but notice what a huge complex it has become. At least it looks … more ›

Sheila, drop it. Both Republicans and Democrats lie and prevaricate while in office. Neither part is more 'honest' than the other though the Democrats have a history of being more honest that the Republicans when you look at things in a neutral light. more ›

These last two weeks have been difficult for the members of our Sheriff's Department. The tragic loss of lives has affected them greatly. It would be wise to avoid criticism of our officers at this time. We still have another officer to bury and there will be plenty of time (two years) before the next election to campaign for office. more ›

Here is the unedited letter in its entirety: HARFORD COUNTY FATAL ACCIDENTS Recently, I announced my candidacy for the Office of Sheriff in 2014.

As you drive on the roads in Harford County watch how many people are texting while driving, talking on a hand held cell phone, cutting in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed and reading a book while driving. Our roads are not wide enough to handle the volume of traffic especially on routes 24, Mountain road and Churchville road during rush hours. Without adequate staff there are not … more ›

Jeff Gahler Will Run For Harford Sheriff
Gahler also ran for sheriff in 2010, but lost to incumbent Jesse Bane.
Jeff Gahler will run for Harford County Sheriff in 2014. Gahler, a Maryland State Trooper, ran for sheriff in 2010 but lost to incumbent L. Jesse Bane. In his letter release just before midnight Monday, Gahler said: "Although we did not achieve our goal during the 2010 election year, I would not have traded the experience of meeting and listening to so many concerned Harford County residents and business owners or challenging the status quo for anything and I look forward to expanding these efforts in the future." See Gahler's letter attached to this article. The Republican lost by a 3,000-vote margin—51.6 percent to 48.3 percent—in one of the latest-decided Harford County races in the election.

Give me a break. More look at me talk. From the article, it appears the police knew there was/is a problem when the Sheriff was quoted as saying "We have the fourth highest number of fatalities in the state.” The reporter added the “ranking is up from fifth the previous year.” Didn’t happen overnight – not a surprise, then why is the Sheriff saying that the “sheriff's office is looking to employ … more ›

Harford Dedicates Newest Sheriff's Office Precinct
The Harford County Sheriff's Office Southern Precinct will officially shift from a converted 7-Eleven to a state-of-the-art facility located off Route 40.
The cramped quarters of a converted 7-Eleven will no longer be the workspace for Harford County Sheriff's Office staff and deputies covering the southern half of the county, including parts of Bel Air. The 42,144-square-foot building stands at 1305 Pulaski Highway, which borders both Edgewood and Joppa zip codes. The building cost $7.7 million to build. "About seven years ago when I was doing tours of all of our facilities so that we could come up with a ten-year capital project plan, I went to that old 7-Eleven and walked through it, and you could barely get through it, and I thought 'this is not good,'" County Executive David Craig said. Craig said Sheriff L. Jesse Bane and county councilman Dion Guthrie were instrumental in bringing the…

Get a life! This is about the hats. It has always been about the hats. Tall hats with the straps on the back. Cop hats and pistols, big pistols, and locking people up so they can't get away. Oh, yes, and telling people what to do and monitoring how they look at you and how they speak-- especially if they look Suspicious. You don't think there needs to be building for all that?

LETTER: Gahler Declines Meeting With Sheriff
Jeffrey Gahler says Sheriff L. Jesse Bane should discuss staffing levels with the public.
Jeffrey Gahler submitted a letter to local media in recent weeks criticizing comments about staffing levels made by the current sheriff. Gahler, a Republican who lost the race for Harford County sheriff by less than a 3 percent margin in 2010, contends Sheriff L. Jesse Bane presented false information about the ratio of deputies to the population. Bane responded by talking with Patch and writing his own letter to the editor. In his responses, Bane said the numbers do not reflect all sworn officers, but rather the numbers the sheriff's office alone has to police the county. Gahler submitted a second letter on the topic in response to Bane's comments. In Bane's letter, he extends an invitation to discuss the matter with Gahler. In Gahler's …

Wake up sparrows of Bel Air, why do we need this corruption in such a small town? Main Street is beautiful, our library bests that of Perry Hall, or Fallston. I am only 21, but this makes me feel much older. What can we do to better stitch up our community? If I want to raise a family here one day, will I have hope? Love and Light. more ›
