I've had a few encounters with Cameron Deputies over the past few years, and they were all extremely positive. Back in 2012, I was driving back from a good drum and gafftop haul at the jetties when my brother's boat trailer came unattached from his jeep (20 ft Carolina Skiff). It ended up in the ditch on the RHS of 27 a bit south of the bridge over the ICWW. (I was driving.) The deputy showed up in no time, but it took the tow truck an hour and a half. The deputy was cool about the whole thing, just hanging out and keeping traffic safe while we waited and then had the tow truck pull the boat out. He even helped us fix the trailer lights and get on our way (nothing else was damaged).

We've had a few other positive interactions also, mainly when we're hanging out at T-Boys, but they were also pretty cool when we had a trailer bearing issue at the ramp by the pier. We had to leave the trailer in the parking lot down there for a few days, and they gave us no grief.

Other than checking my speed, I have no negative vibe at all when I see a Cameron deputy, and it seems like we pass a couple of 'em every time we go down there.
