Thanks Mike Lopez for your hard work, service to the community and dedication to your department! It's few & far between that we see this type of loyalty and commitment! Good luck with all your future endeavors!

Zeus you bring up a very interesting point...all though morale is low the majority of officers in any dept. take an oath to uphold the law 24/7, although it is a shame that this managment team at the sheriff's dept did little of anything to support the officers it is their duty to maintain that oath. While morale is very low at LYSO many of the good officers left and sought ought other opportunities where the support and advancement possibilities are higher, unlike what they find with LYSO. The turn over within the last 6 months speaks volumes and the public should question the management styles of eichorn & old when it comes to the campaign trail. A mass exodus of employees throws up all kinds of red flags...With many new deputies (green) that are now on patrol due to this mass exodus one would have to be fearful that the quality of Law Enforcement in the county is at an all time low. Lets keep our fingers crossed that the next new sheriff in town can turn things around!

Neighbor grow up and realize your sheriff is incapable of moving the department to the next level. It's time to vote him and his side kick right out of that office and get someone who doesn't sit on his heels and collect a check!!!

You missed the POINT, flew right over your head Create...has nothing to do with using a needle and more with the Sheriff not giving a rats a** about his men. DUH!!

What bullet???...the sheriff and his management team have no budget for bullets, r u crazy...1/2 the reason most deputies split because there is no money for anything and no support from the two top doggs, to boot. As far as standing for your convictions thats all fine and dandy but sometimes you have to swallow your convictions to keep food on the table. I'm sure if an expression of opinions are made to the sheriff and his boy...they would sure find a way to blackball you and push you out. Without a doubt if Barney Fife runs for sheriff in Lyon Co. I will be supporting him...he would probably do a better job!!!

To Kstrebuchet: This definition you give of backstabing is excellent and it when you define it so perfect one can see this fits YOUR sheriff & undersheriff just fine. The only thing you left out is retribution...when someone does stand up for what is right...it is held against him/her in such a way that the Sheriff and his boy...don't get their hands dirty! Lets face it Lyon County needs a fresh new face that can take the dept. to the next level...not some individual who is buying his time to retire. Some one once told me substandard leadership breads substandard employess, it's no wonder many have left, they were thirsty but were lead to a pond with no water!

Well said 1whoknows...lets not forget the sheriffs method of pursuing criminal tips and investigations...I believe his method can be called selective in nature. Also, some on this fourm would suggest that the sheriff has brought equipment, such as a canine unit, investigations van...etc. but it has nothing to do with the sheriff fighting for these things, the dept grows in spite of itself. Heck, the Sheriff can't even spring for a deputy to sew a patch on jacket for himself...the good ole boy system is in place and institutionalize discrimination runs rampant in that department. Let's hope for the poor soles left in that department that a new Sheriff & Undersheriff come to town.

Nearly every law enforcement department faces money issues, however it is the job of the Sheriff and his undersheriff to be creative and find monies, i.e. federal grants, state grants, increase in drug seizure money...etc..the current sheriff has failed to be creative, all the while, driving good deputies & employees out of the department and not fighting for them...voting this current sheriff back into office for another four years of status quo would be a disgrace. IT"S TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!

To toninj...You hit the nail right on the head when you suggest some "house cleaning" and without a doubt it should begin with the Top Two Positions... for the following reasons the current sheriff will have little support in his re-election campaign...i.e little if any pay increases (once in 5 years), incomptent undersheriff, lack of equipment, increase in health insurance prem., institutional discrimination, and for continuing to keep the department in low morale mode. It goes without saying the taxpayers of Lyon County should make their vote count by voting Mr. Eichorn out of office!!
