Good work WCSO if we were not wasting so much money on EMS helicopters and salaries we could have many more officers on patrol. Really like seeing those Silver and Black units out and about and makes me really upset when I see an ambulance with one of those lol supervisor SUV chasing it what a waste! Maybe the voters will wake up and get rid of the enabling members of the commisoners court. We could have a county hospital for what they spend on the EMS yearly ridiculous.
