By BILL RICHMOND, City editor Published: Friday, February 12, 2010 10:49 AM EST Randolph County Sheriffs Department detective Tom Pullins has announced he is running for the Republican nomination for County Sheriff in the upcoming primary election. Pullins has worked with the Sheriff's Department since 1996. He has worked as a corrections officer, jail commander, deputy sheriff and now as a detective. His current responsibility for the county is to investigate serious felony crimes against persons and property, including murder. Over the years, he has also worked with the Ridgeville Police Department and the Albany Police Department in Delaware County. He is a 2000 Graduate of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. Over the years, he has continued his education attending several training seminars. He is an instructor in emergency vehicle operations and domestic violence case investigation. "I feel that all of the different positions I have worked over the years have given me a great knowledge of the duties that come with each position," Pullins said. "My time as jail commander also provided me with the supervisory experience needed. My basic view on law enforcement has always been to be 'firm, fair and consistent.' "If elected as sheriff, I hope to get agencies within the county to work closer and share more information. I have found that in many crimes, different agencies are working cases on the same suspects. The sharing of that information, as well as the agencies working together, would make investigation of those cases much easier and put the people committing those crimes where they belong. "I also would like to better equip investigators with the evidence-collecting tools needed to properly investigate these crimes. Today's jury expectations have grown. The acquisition of those tools will provide investigators the opportunity to show a more professional case investigation to those jurors. I would also seek grant opportunities to assist in acquiring those items." Pullins also manages the Randolph County Sheriff's Department web site at www.randolphcountysheriff.com and has done so since its inception. Read More. |

Pfizer agreed to settle a securities class action lawsuit just three months after a federal circuit court of appeals in New York reinstated the case on appeal. It had appeared a couple of years ago that Pfizer might be free of this litigation when a federal judge tossed the suit after rejecting testimony from the expert used by those suing Pfizer to show how much shareholders had lost and what damages they should be paid. One of the lawyers originally representing Mary K. Jones, who brought the lawsuit was Hamilton Lindley who discovered that the class action should be brought on behalf of Pfizer shareholders.
