Deuteronomy, 18:11 10. Let there be no one in the midst of you to cause your son or daughter to pass through the fire; Let no one practice enchantments or consult the stars; That there be no sorcerers or sorcerers; 11. that no one is found who engages in superstitions or consult the spirits; That no fortune-teller or anyone who asks the dead is found. 12. For Yahweh hates those who do all this, and drives them out before you because of these abominations. Jesus loves you, God loves you John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I am from Switzerland, but I really like to see how other people live. Its really interesting to see how American live in these small towns. This is true. Thats very haert-kinded-.
@@ceooflonelinessinc.267 Small town USA is simply amazing! I've left my little town in Alabama multiple times for careers, etc but always come back. Piedmont, Alabama will always be home to me 🇺🇸🤘
@@artofvalor9396 Yes it is. I'm also from a small town in Alabama. I'm from Phil Campbell, Alabama which most people never knew existed until the tornado outbreak. It's crazy to find someone else from not far away randomly on a RU-vid comment section!
When the cameras are going. I was in the Army Reserves and the State Patrol were good guys but a lot of the small town cops were racist jerks who I wouldn't trust with any authority.
The old cop who buys the guy cigarettes was so nice you can tell hes a good human. And I'm happy he became a cop and that town is able to experience a good cop who deserves his hon
I'm living in a small town in Belgium named Hannut. And Belgium is already a small country in Europe. And every year I send a Christmas card to the local police here with my best wishes and to thank them for the services rendered. And wish them a safe new year. They're just people like you and me.
@vctjkhme but when we train we find out domestic violence cases and domestic disturbances are almost as lethal if not as lethal as routine traffic stops
@4:40 It's amazing how it's such a small town that this cop remembers the vehicles associated to the houses. If someone just moved in he'll recognize it.
RK NINE that’s small town living for you. I bet the schools are all in one building too. I lived in some small towns in Colorado and it’s pretty awesome how the community rallies together and looks after one another. Their all in it together. If someone is struggling with food you can guarantee that they’ll be taken care of by the community and when they get back on their feet they’ll help out the next struggling family.
@@myron6305 Big cities, big countries, big corporations, big governments. Everytime these get big more corrupt and out of control it becomes. Bad english? I am from Brazil
Everybody talking here about how great that is, but i can think of at least 5 separate videos I've seen passed around social media where this very issue came up and in each video, the officer who knows what cars go with which houses and who lives there and who doesn't made contact with an individual who didn't live there or their vehicle didn't "go with" the place where it was parked. And in the comments of each of those videos were thousands of angry comments about racist cops and jackboot thugs and and all cops are bastards and people who wanted those officers to be killed for knowing who lived in what house. ...just interesting, suppose. The juxtaposition between the two and the reactions based on the contexts and intents of those presenting the videos are a bit disheartening.
I like the chief. He's kinda set in his ways, it appears, a bit of the old "I know my people" guard, but with a good heart and sense of duty for his community. He also KNOWS that he is set in his ways a little too much and appreciates the better training of the younger female officer - and although he can't change his whole way of policing, he acknowledges the city will be in good hands with the trained officers. Takes some kind of a man to admit that.
A great man. We gotta know where we fall and struggle but not be afraid to ask for help. God gave other people for a reason or a community rather. Thank you for giving me this thought :)
Yeah. I feel like a live in a small town, but it's still 20 times the size of this one. But hey, L@ apparently has its own homeless town the size of mine. Weird.
i live in a "small town" but once u get off the island by crossing the little bridge its not small anymore. many ppl from the other nearby areas visit the small town. couple decently sized strip malls to. my small town is different then this one. this one is in the middle of no where.
Small town policing is no joke. Can actually be more dangerous than big city policing. Small town cops have to do a whole lot more on their own, including making decisions with little to no assistance. Especially at night. Much respect for these guys. There's no "Easy" police department to work for.
There needs to be more policemen like you. I remember it use to be like that in my town, if the police caught you drinking under age they would take you home, not arrest you as they now do. We have a big ego problem with many police officers now days. YOU SIR ARE ONE OF THE BEST.
I'm a retired firefighter/EMT/swift water/ tech/ rescue. I worked for a small town I LOVED IT. One of our biggest resources was our wonderful and well trained sheriffs. They were ALWAYS there to lend a hand. LOL even when we would give then crap for having to work four tens, to our 24 on 48 off. They are GREAT men and women. May God watch over and Bless them
I spent a few years driving a tow truck sitting up late at night listening to a police- fire- ambulance scanner and no shit I put it down to the fuller the moon the more people go bananas. A full moon guarantees trouble.
Arkansas? What a corrupt state. With shit cops. Sorry man. But that's the damn truth. During the BLM bullshit I was in Memphis. Left the city and crossed into Arkansas with a heavy low boy on a government load to Texas. On orders I left the city limits. Arkansas Highway Police, (not the state police), two overweight tubs of absolute lazy lard ass wrote me a ticket for curfew on an oversized load. $250. Then the little bastard went to his uncle who was going to be my judge and stated I was not respectful to him. Case closed. That's Arkansas law enforcement. What a joke.
Anyone would be proud to live in such a beautiful small town. What a great job this town is doing but, it's so sad that this world that we live in is what it is today.
Thank you for your service. I live in a small town, and we have some great cops. I say that even though I've been in the back seat a few times. I enjoy speaking to them and letting them know we appreciate what they do.... And it helps them to keep it human.
Dick Fageroni and there's the ignorant comment for the post . Love that some people JSIT CANT RESIST making a negative comment in response to a good one . I'm. Not from there but would love it,..I'm so over busy crowded areas. How about spreading positivity ,..isn't there enough negativity in the world already?
50 years ago I was 15. Lived in a tiny place in Michigan called Edwardsburg. Norm Krupp was the chief of police and had to deal with me and everything else. Because of him I’ve always respected law enforcement and taught my children to do likewise. RIP NORM.
"I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five. Hard to believe. Grandfather was a lawman. Father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time, him in up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old-time sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lot of folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough never carried one. That's the younger Jim. Gaston Boykins wouldn’t wear one up in Comanche County. I always liked to hear about the old-timers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can’t help but compare yourself against the old-timers. Can’t help but wonder how they'd have operated these times. There's this boy I sent to the electric chair at Huntsville here a while back. My arrest and my testimony. He killed a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion, but he told me there wasn’t any passion to it. Told me that he’d been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he’d do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell. Be there in about fifteen minutes. I don’t know what to make of that. I sure do don’t. The crime you see now, it’s hard to even take its measure. It’s not that I’m afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But I don’t want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don’t understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, 'Okay, I’ll be part of this world.'"
This was honestly the most wholesome thing. A documentary about police and literally nothing happened. The most exciting thing that happened was a guy that wouldn't drop a hammer for a few seconds, before he dropped the hammer and spoke calmly. I honestly cannot express the need for small town cops who know everyone by first name, who check in for no reason, just to see how you are. People of the community working for the community. It's almost as if they're not cops, just more respected citizens. It's so nice seeing criminals just stop and be friendly when they know they've been caught by a genuinely nice police officer. As I say, it's wholesome.
As a retired Aux. Sergeant (means I was a volunteer, although I wore the same uniform and drove the same car) with 13 years of service in a small NY village this really hit home. Excellent video. Everybody needs more training.
There were too many dui arrests.... don’t elect him... okay, says a lot about that town doesn’t it. This was a phenomenal special. Thank you for filming this
@@macgyver112 yeah, that’s a damn shame. I’ve worked EMS my whole life and seen what driving drunk does to people... for the scum that didn’t want to vote him in because he was tough on DUI charges is sad. I’m glad he moved on to a better higher paying job
this is what big cities need, smaller departments with its own officers that remain in the same area in order to achieve better community policing that we so desperately need.
Great documentary . I currently live in Houston so the complete opposite of rural . I grew up in a small town in upstate NY where we had 2 full time and 2 part time cops . When I was a teen I was on the wrong path . One of the full time cops took the time to talk to me , put me on the right path . He knew all the kids, all the people in town. He cared about his town . Small town policing is unique and carries so much value . Good on all these officers . Stay well and God Bless.
Although I came to this country 5 years a go and although I have two medical degrees and working on a third one, I still wanna serve the community as a law enforcement officer... especially in those rural areas where they need help the most. God bless America!
ayooo, whoever the amazing editor is that decided to properly time and name the chapters after 3 years, THANK YOU, makes rewatching this doc and parts on here sooo much easier to find. Thanks!
Awesome piece! I'm from one of the areas in this video and I'm filled with so much pride to see some positive light shed on local law enforcement. Bravo!
I left a larger agency to go to a small town department. It definitely made me a better officer. In the city, you have instant backup. You can hand off calls to detectives, traffic crash investigators, evidence technicians, and follow up officers. In the small town, I was all that, and more. I ultimately had to retire after being severely injured from an assault. I waited 15 minutes for the first backup officer while holding the suspect at gunpoint. I would have had at least 2 officers with me on the same call in the city. It takes monumental courage and skill to be an officer in a small agency.
As a former small town cop, this is so familiar…I miss helping people, getting to know the kids and others, and being their friends in many ways. Small town cops can’t be transferred to other areas if they mess up like in big cities. You have to be compassionate, firm but fair, and friendly or you won’t make it. I am so glad I never worked in a big city. I was able to be proactive as well as reactive. Over the years, times have changed. 58 years ago when my career began, I based my decisions on common sense much of the time. No training unless we initiated it. Learning from experienced officers was the norm. I am now retired for good. I wouldn’t trade my years as a cop, but I’m glad it’s finally over. It was time…maybe long overdue.
Growing up in Bellevue Nebraska, I don't ever really remember much crime, let alone ever anything scary. It was always quiet and calm. Good knowing we have kind police in our community
Much respect to the Sheriff for treating the local DUI offenders just like any other DUI offenders and prosecuting them! Those locals whom opposed the Sheriff taking the DUI offenders off the road might feel differently if one of their Community was hurt by a drunk driver. This was an interesting and objective insight into the issues facing local Police Officers. Employing Officers from within the local Community can only be a good thing for both the Police Department and the Community.
This chief is good. He polices with common sense and a heart. To know which cars are out of place and to check in with people when he sees they are off, this is a good guy.
Now that I am, I found out how much I would had love to help people as serving as police officer. people don't understand the responsibility that a officer has. it is not a easy job, and yet people don't respect that. All my respect to all law enforcement who try to do the right thing.
Wow. Being from Boston Massachusetts, this is extremely interesting. I'm hoping all these small towns receive the funding they need and deserve. Thanks for all that you do, Small Town Cops!
I live in a small town and we definitely have a rapport with our cops. Whenever a bad storm results in a power outage, the police will open their facilities up for town residents to charge their devices.
Saint Michael’s Arch Angel that one dude get undressed, dressed and then undressed again. Sucks but it needs to be done. Can’t bring a human life back because the cop was incompetent.
Mark Stephenson is one of the most intense yet amazing instructors I've ever had. He's the type of man you hate to disappoint and would die for. If you gained his respect it meant something and it cut to the bone if you lost that respect. He is from Waco TX and was working the day of that fateful event. He's great about relaying his experiences and explaining the importance of training. He wasn't my team lead at the academy, but I always enjoyed his classes.
After watching this and being in the UK (With family in the US), it makes me want to join up. I love the idea of a small town... With decent internet lol Fascinating watch, enjoyed this.
Really liked this video. It was well done and I learned a lot. I grew up in a Midwest town of 1,500 residents. Things have really changed since then. Many thanks!
My father had a business in a very small town up in north - the police chief was also the city utility manager, and the city council was also the vet, and the mayor was also fire chief / doctor. And my father's business was a motel which also acted as a church on Sunday (the church main building was going through renovation for 2 years) - we had a big dining hall which served as the chapel. On weekends, everyone showed up for local hockey games. Fun time we had.
There is a lesson to be learned in this video. In my eyes if you want your community and police to have a good relationship than being a local officer and getting to know the locals personally like this chief is how to do it. Now a days in small towns the rcmp cycle officers in and out every year so it’s always a foreign face, more of a militant presence than anything
I use to teach self defense to some marines in my young days and some of them were base police. I would teach them how to master the arm bar take down move because this was a very good move to take down the none-lethal bad guys with out having to do much damage on them and to stop them from hurting you. Even till this day, this move had help me and my teen daughter on the streets.
I don't know a thing about Nebraska. I think I drove through there once or twice in my 48 years, but I now have big respect for the police in Nebraska. Small towns are the best. Little to no crime. I am from Indiana and I can tell you small towns is where I want to raise my children.
Roger that, I’ve been a deputy Sheriff since 98 when I started out as a reserve search & rescue level 1. I lat moved into a full time and loved it ever since. I love being a cop, it’s something a reckon you gotta have a calling for. You know who the real brave guys are, that be the FD! Those are a good bunch, real unique breed. I work with em all the time and they take care of business when it hits the fan. Cheers to you guys from a thankful cop you saved once upon a time 🍺🇺🇸 GO #60PAUL’s
Watching this from France I find this pretty scary. We have the Gendarmerie which is a military police dating back the middle age, present in small towns. The training is the same all throughout the country and small town’s resources don’t make any difference. We have the greatest respect for them. I find the dedication of these small town Nebraska officers very touching. I have never understood how officers could go on patrol alone…..and at night this is plain crazy
