I spent an enlightening hour with Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee who was a guest on my show last week. The Sheriff and I have been friends for over 35 years when we served in the Louisiana National Guard together. People have different views on the Sheriff. But you cannot argue with his results. Crime continues to drop in Jefferson. Harry will be a regular guest on Jim Brown in the Morning.
