But I will say, there are more incidents than referenced above by buggy. There was a swat team tear gas episode a couple years ago that I believe was under-reported. Look, I agree that we have a lower crime rate than most places, but I hope some of the latest incidents serve as a wake-up call to the possibilities. As we grow, there will be more issues and the more desperate individuals around us will be making their rounds more often.

Regarding access to investigative reports compiled by the Sumter county
Sheriff office .. Does anyone know what the law actually says in terms of
public access to those records? Are citizens or taxpayers etc
legally entitled to copies of crime reports upon request ?
