This blog page was established so DeKalb County Police Officers including their family and friends may have a place to hold discussions, post news and vent without fear of retribution.
The primary reason people are leaving this place has nothing to do with money. We all knew we wouldnt get rich in this job. Its not the money! It's about being represented by an intelleigent, professional Command Staff, who made you feel proud to work here! It's about people being chosen for CID, Special Ops, and other specialized positions based on who they know, or how good they look, and not on professional merit. We select people for these positions without ever asking their immediate supervisor anything about them. What a joke! Its about newly promoted sgts and lts going to CID, Vice, Background/Recruiting over veteran sgts and lts! Time in grade should mean something around here. Its about some MPOs making more money than some sgts! Its about the blantant mismanagement of uniform manpower! Its about Dennis Stepnowski being shot down on Central Drive / N. Hairston Rd and the Chief not allocating every available resource to clean that hell hole up! Its been over a year since Step's death. That area should be one of the safest in the County! Surely Step did not die in vain! Its about these unfair, ridiculous promotions! Its not about the money! I'd take a 4% pay cut to work for Chief Moody or Chief Burgess!
The sad thing is that we are celebrating the legacy of Dr King this time of the year. A man who stood for justice, and the fair treatment of all! A man who taught that it takes courage and a willingness to sacrifice to bring about a change. Chief Dedrick I know you are a good human being, of high morals. Dont let this cut-throat administration bring you down! You will be here long after they are gone in 9 months. Make the sacrifice! Send a message by stepping down and separating yourself from this regime! Do what Dr. King would have done!
