This past week, the City of Milton sent out an email referencing the burglaries and a "local blog" posting the police reports. Far be it for me to assume that such a reference was in regards to Accessmilton.com. Just to be safe, however, this is my take.
Since February 15, 2011 to date, the City of Milton has experienced 18 "forms of crime", let's specify it to be burglaries of homes (breakins) or burglaries of vehicles (breakins and theft of items inside the vehicles). This does not include the daily life threatening speeding that continues unchecked or the dui and drug busts that occur more often that you realize.
The Press Release from the City of Milton states that "this time last year we had the same amount of crime, and there is NO crime wave based on last years numbers".
18 burglaries in 30 - Not a crime wave; just a coincidence... No need to be alarmed or to notify the residents! A drop in such from year to year should be expected, not matching it or out doing it.
I understand why the City of Milton encourages citizens to join their email list; we, the citizens, pay them to serve us. However, to send out email blasts about the next river cleaning or tree chipping day and not alert residents about situations detrimental to our loved ones' safety and property is beyond me. By the way, I don't think residents would panic; I think residents would be more prepared.
I understand how making a family safe is a combined effort of both resident and government. To date, however, the city has expected us to click here...there....here...www.crimewatch.com? Did you get all that you wanted done today taken care of? Neither did I...
It's time the City took the crime and safety situation of it's populace seriously through action; that action being hiring more officers NOW and more advocacy for those who have the courage and experience to do the job. It is only a matter of time before Alpharetta residents cry foul with all the carry over work their officers are doing in Milton. I thought this area incorporated so that it didn't become Alpharetta or was it just me?
Access Milton is here for the residents and businesses of Milton. It is here to discuss the topics affecting us all while experiencing healthy debate and eventually finding a solution. It is here to provide information that some who work for you would rather you not see. Do the residents really expect three officers on one twelve hour shift to take care of patrolling and day to day police activity like traffic enforcement on top of being expected to solve 18 burglaries, drug busts, and other various crimes all at the same time? The residents of Milton deserve better.
Before anything, safety of those they serve should be the #1 priority; everything else is secondary. The fact is that Accessmilton.com will continue to get the word out and encourage tax payer input as we have since before Milton Georgia existed; even if others choose not to. Accessmilton.com has been and always will be a place where you choose the news and your voice is heard.
Wake up and smell the coffee, City of Milton: Without the citizens; you are nothing. It's about time you started keeping them safe.

Amen!
Access Milton Police Department
Thank you Tim. We know we can count on you to be informed.
Well said Tim! Thanks for continuing to speak out for us!
tim your such an idiot to everyone other than the six people who read this site on a daly basis that you cant see the light anymore. stop trying to defend yourselve againts every self perceived slight that you come acrross and get a life already. your unrealistic expectations of our city government only fuels the unrest wihtin the area without providing any realistic solutions. maybe if you hadnt shared your insensitive racists ignorant beliefs on your blog a few years ago youd be on concil and everything wouldbe your way unless godzilla baily disagreed with you
also i love how access milton rewords things to be more in their favor, so tim maybe you should post the city email blast side by side with your retort, examples as follows:
1. you state: "local blog" while the city article stated "local blog"S" and e-mail chains"
2. you state "Since February 15, 2011" while the city article refers to "since January 1"
3. you state because you can't resist yourself "this does not include the daily life threatening speeding..." while the city is tired of you only complaining about their police force while at the same time applauding them for other "heroic" deeds, maybe you should just make up your mind as to whether or not you truly support our public safety department.
4. you want them to hire more officers while AM would be the first to criticize someone slipping through the cracks. maybe a reality check would serve you well. can you find your readers an example of your ideal city so we can have something to compare our apparently awful city to?
Back off of Tim, Travis, Jason, or whatever butt kissing city of Milton resident or employee you might be. Enloe brought information to the citizens which our city has failed to do. This information is pertinent to the safety of all of us. If your butt is chapped because he retorts a slam from the city, too bad. They deserve the bad publicity because they are not doing their jobs. He is right we do deserve high quality service from all city employees. Any of us in this town could be their Mayor or Council person some day so they should start treating the citizens with some respect. I agree with Tim the most important thing should be all of our safety. If Tim brings to light the lack of officers, than that should be addressed. Why is it Tim's job to find you a solution. He is pointing it out to everyone in the city, he is a citizen just like you. Why don't you and anyone else concerned about the lack of officers put a solution together instead of slamming a citizen for notifying us and letting us know we have a major problem in this town, and that is lack of officers and lack of importance of the safety of its citizens.
You would be the first one, just like Bailey to scream your head off once your family is burglarized or held at gun point. Why wasn't it a focus from her or anyone else on council, not until her house was hit. Your mentality is it's only an issue when it happens to you? in the meantime we are all just overreacting to 18 burglaries in 30 days. Oh shut up about it citizens, it's the same amount we had this time last year! Whoa, really?
Whatever! You R the idiot!
Oh and by the way, you must be one of the six. You and the city wish it were just six people. Add a few zero's.
Tim, I want to thank you for standing up for the citizens of Milton. The city government from TOP DOMN only cares about their bottom line. It is time for a change!!!! We are not rual, look around....We are suburban and that calls for a Police force who is prepared. I think our current city bosses have underestimated their responsibilites!!!!! CHANGE OR LETS FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL!
Oh if 6 people read this other than me....I say we replace our council........TIM FOR MAYOR?
It cracks me up the people who complain and whine about AM and Tim Enloe, who just can't take their eyes off of his website!
I suppose it is an unrealistic expectation for our council to keep our citizens' safety first. What is wrong with you Tim!
Oh go back one to the Herman Cain article where he says, "the race card has expired!!" That applies to you 9:54.
Neal, is that you baby?
Neil's best friends are "race"-car drivers.
Fast ones too, just ask the Milton Po-leese!
9:54 racist? how do you figure that one reading their post as it looks like they were pointing out that tim is racist and if you dont believe them then go lookup enloe archives on google
That couldn't be further from the truth. So confident of your accusations, post your name.
Do you know Tim personally, have you known him for years, his family? You don't. If you did you wouldn't even give it a second thought. But you just jump out there and call him a racist so easily based on Neal O'Brien? Oh yeah, he's as credible as a worn out shoe. O'Brien's track record shows he does what ever he can to win an election or help his buddies win, and if that means getting down and dirty, he'll do it. Why do you think he was called to action against Tina D'Aversa, he was probably drooling at the chance to get even with her for not supporting him for re-election. One little phone call and whahlah, ethics charges. So glad he lost his re-election! The city Won Big, when he Lost. He should star in his own movie version of dirty rotten scoundrel.He could write it, produce it, direct it and be the star of it.
You are a racist. You pass judgement on Enloe, you don't know him personally, you base it on some crap you read, not the truth of who he is at all. Being a racist isn't just about skin color, it's having a prejudice and you have one, and you don't know the man at all. I have known Tim and his family for over 20 years, so I know.
Nice Try! Everyone that knows Tim in this city knows where his heart is and the kind of person and man he is. Doubt you could even scratch the surface to even get anyone to say that about Neal O'Brien. They might choke though.
Maybe Neal can blog on this site now and say some nice things about himself.
Watch!
It's fabulous that Tim points out all the reasons the police can't do their jobs well. Not enough police? Yeah, well now that you've been blogging about that for so long the crooks know just where to come-- MILTON-- Where the cops need food because they aren't paid enough. Say the AM comments section is a real great service to our community. Makes us all look like big winners here. Like I said that's a real good job you are doing Tim Enloe.
It has been enjoyable reading the comments regarding my recently editorial. I do appreciate all the perspectives shared- All of them!
For those that try to paint a different picture that what I stated or feel, I encourage you to read the piece again.
Then again,what tells me you would hate me even if I saved one of your loved ones from death.
With that in mind, I would like to invite you, 9:54, on a dinner date - my treat. We can have open discussion on how we differ on the issues at hand. I will video tape it of course for all the citizens to watch and weigh in on.
Odds are, too often than not, that you who love to hate me are too scared to engage me in public. How I would love to be proven wrong for once...
Bottom line is; believe in our police and hire more of their caliber. Look out for them as they do you. Let the citizens know weekly about the crime that is transpiring. And finally, I have made numerous suggestions regarding how to fund more officers, but your hatred torwards me has obviously blinded you from that fact.
Oh, and for the record, the website that Neal set up against me six years ago is www.enloearchives.com.

Remember that election. Obrien was elected because people believed the tripe he spewed against Tim. Tim never said anything negative against OB. Also, OBrien was seen by a lot of people stealing Tim's campaign signs at night. Heard he took approximately 85%. OB also ran his campaign as a veteran. That lowlife is not a veteran. He is a fat, lying, theiving drunk.
Post 9:54 am, aka Travis, you are the idiot. From one who knows, your following is limited and by the way, stop that foul language!!
I hope Tim Enloe did not write the posts on the enloearchives.com. I suppose only he knows for sure, but it does seem suspiscious.
Tim will tell you that in fact he DID write those posts on enloearchives.com but they were in reference to other subjects/websites and someone copied them and put them on one site with the hope he would be defeated on the fist Milton election.
Tim was not responsible for all in mentioned archive posts that Obrien used. It was the work of Obrien and some of his misled followers.
If anyone needs clarification regarding who I am or my feelings on various issues, all they have do to is ask.
Of course, some would rather use their key board as a shield and hide as they make assumptions and speak of half truths.
I am a good person and those that know me will state the same.

Post 6:54 PM, you are the nasty, insensitive person. This city would be better without your input and definitely better off without you and yours. Go back where you came from...
Tim is the one and only person that continually stands up for the citizens of this city.
9:35 a.m., I think all of the posts on enloearchive.com are offensive. You said he wasn't responsible for some of the posts. What about the rest of the posts?
Mr. Enloe, did you write any of the posts of enloearchive.com?
Call me with any questions. I have addressed this countless times and it is so old.
The number is below.

Tim, you promote anonymity in comments. Otherwise, you wouldn't allow it and would require registration but then you wouldn't get as many hits.
