In 2019 Eddie Farris attended the International Protective Security Board's CLOSE PROTECTION conference. This is a conference for individuals who work in corporate private security. This is not part of your routine or standard law enforcement training protocols.

This course was signed up for using Eddie's alternate work email, tied to TradewaterSouthLLC out of Florida. WEF@TradwaterSouth.com

Tradewater South LLC is owned by Retired Special Agent Bart Brown, who used to work out of the Cookeville FBI office, he was also the Agent over Operation Tarnished Shield. As you learned in #PCSOExposed, there are lots of questions about Operation Tarnished Shield.

It was through Tradewater South Eddie was able to subsidize his Sheriff's income by working corporate private security for people like ex United States Attorney General, Eric Holder.

Farris booked this Corporate Security Conference in Las Vegas under his Tradewater Email. Then, he sought reimbursement from the tax payers for almost $700 in expenses, and $200+ in per diems--plus his regular $110,000+ salary.

What do you think, should the tax payers pay for the Sheriff's training for his outside employment?
