Re Timothy Oliver's recent post:
"Michael McGarrity was a cop in New Mexico for many years:
Santa Fe County Deputy. Even though it includes our State
Capitol, the 'City Different,' the county is quite rural.
Santa Fe itself is a pretty small town-less than 60,000-not
counting tourists. Parts of it are downright remote."
I admit that I discounted McGarrity as a former "rural" cop
because I thought of Santa Fe as comparatively metropolitan
(at least by New Mexico standards), and assumed the same was
true for the surrounding unicorporated area covered by the
SO.
Now that I think about it, though, my sister fed, Nevada
Barr, was (and I believe still is) a law enforcement ranger
with the National Park Service, and I suppose you'd certainly
have to call most of the area under NPS jurisdiction rural.
Most of the areas covered in the Anna Pigeon novels are
certainly rural (though the latest, set on the Statue of
Liberty Island, is an exception). - Jim Doherty
