Justplainpossum-where in Tx do you live? I live in Buffalo, tx. Population about 2900. And I live in the country too and know exactly what you're talking about with the Sheriffs Office. I'm a city cop but around here when you work city you're the only one working that city. You may have 1-2 working for the Sheriffs Office and may have 1-2 troopers but everyone is so thin. So if you need backup it may be 15-20 minutes away. So we all help each other if needed but same here on calls like gunfire or strange people or really drunk drivers a lot of times the SO doesn't respond a lot. Our city's are small so usually I'm there within 2-3 minutes.
