[Grovenet] Policing in the Grove

[Steven]

I would have to say that the county has a non emergency number.
Back to the burglars and Sean Bruner in particular. I had troubles with the
man and would call the FG non emergency number. Cops would come and tell me
they could do nothing. No reports were ever filed. I found that there were
zero records and the red headed sergeant told me officers never came over
and never told me they could do nothing. He didn't like it at all when I
called him a liar.
The county line always is recorded and items are put in the records. My
issues with the FGPD at the time forced me to hire private security.
I can not recommend going back to that type of service.
