Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Odd. For me it says:
Sheriff's Office: Vision, Mission and, Values
VISION:
Our vision is to become the most professional law enforcement agency in the County and our region. To make this vision a reality:
We will become well known for our high professionalism, our competence, and the dependability of our word—and through these we will gain and establish the public’s trust. We will consistently demonstrate exemplary performance of duty to serve and protect the Court and the citizens of Adams County, and to assist our peers in the law enforcement community to maintain order in our community. We will become known as reliable members of the community, as enthusiastic participants in its activities, and as visible forces for good within it. Each of us will become a knowledgeable and skilled ambassador for the Sheriff’s Office and an educator-through-action for the public. Through our actions and our integrity, we will become known as models of diligent, steadfast, and thoughtful public service. We will carry ourselves with dignity and be proud to show our passion for exceeding expectations, doing things well, and making the work of others easier. We will always learn something valuable from our mistakes, and never miss an opportunity to help create a positive heritage for the people we serve.
MISSION:
The mission of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office is to provide first-class professional, dignified, and courteous service to the Adams County Court, the citizens of the County, its agencies, and all law enforcement agencies with whom we partner to maintain order in our community.
We will serve with integrity and distinction, whether providing security for court proceedings, serving warrants and papers, conducting prisoner transport, or fulfilling any other duties required under law and statute.
As we undertake our Mission, we shall keep in mind at all time the Vision and Core Values of this organization.
CORE VALUES:
We subscribe to three (3) core values which guide our actions and our conduct:
Duty Service Integrity Our duty is to uphold the Constitution of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the statutes of the state. We have a duty to uphold the trust of the public we serve, a duty towards each other, to the Office of the Sheriff of Adams County, and to ourselves.
We are mindful that we are a service organization, funded by the public, and guided by the notion that community partnerships are the best way to establish trust between public law enforcement agencies and the citizens they serve. As service providers, we have a duty to serve each other with diligence, dignity, and respect so that we can all do our best to serve those outside our office.
We understand that integrity is the currency of all our transactions, the stock in trade and basis of our worth as an office. Without integrity, there can be no trust from the people we serve.
To show that these values are fundamental to our performance as a team:
We will always be true to our word, keep all our promises, and take every step that quality follow-through requires. We will take every opportunity to convey our mutual support for each other and what we stand for. We will earn the respect that others have for us through service, hard work, and proven commitment to our own growth and self-improvement. We will act with dignity, respect, and self-possession—because what each one does reflects upon us all.
