Gotta consider the source...
The AJC has always been friendly to Vernon and FOV's (Friends of Vernon). I'm surprised Dave Simpson wasn't the reporter...IMHO he's had a Vernon slant for as long as I can remember.
I'm with you...if Bolton IS merit protected, that would be something new.
Is it possible that merit protection for the Chief was part of the changes designed to do away the merit protected Cpt.'s position...aka the new appointed position of Deputy Chief?
Maybe the FOP or the toothless so called union, the IBPO, would be willing to stand up and correct this.
The chief is merit protected always has been. That is why Chief Moody and Chief Graham either retired or resigned.
The Chief is not merit protected. Captains and below are merit protected. Majors and above are appointed, so they are not merit protected. Someone needs to reread their employee manual.
When is the F.O.P. and the I.B.P.O, together or separately going to pin a letter of "no confidence" of Chief Terrell Bolton?
They should be in the forefront of condemning Bolton and Vernon Jones. But then, it does take balls to face Bolton and his ass kissers.
Yep, the Chief is merit protected. Check out the online version of the county ordinances. Here it is, cut and pasted:
Chapter 20 PERSONNEL*
ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL
Sec. 20-4. Exempt positions designated.
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to any exempt position. The exempt positions are the following:
k. All employees of the police department, excluding police chief, who hold positions or classifications above the rank of captain. All positions above the rank of captain serve at the pleasure of the chief of police. If the chief of police removes an employee above the rank of captain for a reason other than for cause, the employee shall revert to the position of captain, or to the position previously held if less than captain, with equivalent change in salary and benefits.
APPENDIX B LOCAL CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS, LOCAL ACTS AND GENERAL LAWS OF LOCAL APPLICATION*
ARTICLE XVI. PERSONNEL*
DIVISION 2. MER! IT SYST EM
Sec. 1052. Authority of board of commissioners to establish merit system.
(d) The chief of the DeKalb County police department shall be under the DeKalb County merit system.
The Silence is deafening. When will Ellis finally tip is hand?
