A Chat with Chapman!
Back in August, I had the honor of sitting down and talking one-on-one with Sheriff Chapman. I was ready for some tough questions that he might ask and I had a few up my sleeves as well. We discussed many issues about law enforcement in general, and here in Walton County such as: personnel, funding, roles of the sheriff, etc. You could tell that the Sheriff was more stern at first, but this is why I wanted to meet him before anyone else.
Sheriff Chapman is now the second longest sitting sheriff in Walton County history, Sheriff Thorton being the longest at 27 years. Many people may love and hate him, Walton County and the courageous men and women at the sheriff’s office are like his babies. It will be hard for him to let someone else watch over them and I wanted to let him know first hand; who I was and the type of person I am. I can only believe that he was quite impressed based on our almost 3 hour meeting and him offering an open line of communication with him and his office. Even though I thanked him that day, I want to again thank him for taking the time to speak with me that day.
