Chief Bolton has warned his Command Staff to use caution when attending and supporting people running for political office.
He told his Command Staff people have been killed supporting politicians.
Interesting, I wonder if he a register voter in DeKalb yet?
Looks like the Chief will know in July which direction to drive his RV's . I believe he will be returning out west.

Help us answer the call(s)....
__
I've mulled over the problems with our department over the past few months and what it really comes back to is a frustrating feeling of helplessness.
Each of us went into policing because we had a calling. No one unrealistically expected to become rich. We did expect to be treated fairly. We also expected to be able to have an impact in the community and to make a difference. That WAS and IS our calling.
We are dissappointed to be in a position where we find ourselves reacting to what happens around us. I the "golden years" of Dekalb PD, we took the tiger by the tail and took the fight to the criminal element. We were in control of the streets.
Today, we find ourselves writing reports after the fact. Yesterday, we proactively snuck into these questionable apartment complexes, motels, business districts, and neighborhoods in order to surprise the criminal element.
We went after crime before it became a problem for the general public. We were the Thin Blue Line!
Let us once again become that DESTINCT and DEFINITE BLUE LINE!
Today we do a report after the fact so the public can file an insurance claim.
What we really want is the ability, the leadership, and the resources we need to get back to proactive policing. We want to answer the call.
Let us answer the call. Let us do what we came to here to do. Let us help you, the general public.
Help us once again take charge of the streets of Dekalb. It belongs to you,and it is our job and calling to make sure it stays under your control.
You deserve better.
And now, the latest...people are being persecuted and threatened because they are exercising their Constitution rights!! If someone wants to support a certain political candidate for CEO, as long as they are not doing it while on duty or in uniform, that is their civil right!! No one should be pressured to change their vote or their support, simply because that's not the way the hoi-polloi want things to go. I am sick and tired of the way we are treated; I am beginning to feel as if I am trapped in a dictatorship. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, guys. One day we will see it.
The day he goes back west call me. I will help him pack...
