Major Ann Ramey, Vernon's driver lieutenant who was promoted to Major, has been transferred to command Criminal Investigations. Major Ramey brings with her absolutely no investigative experience with her. She probably can't even fill out an arrest warrant. And now TeBo appoints her to command over 100 detectives, including sex crime and robbery/homicide investigations!
She was named over many, many experienced people within C.I.D. and uniform division. How much more damage can TeBo inflect before Burrell Ellis can get him under control?

It is time for the gloves to come off! This is nothing more than blatant racism on TeBo’s part. Of all the lieutenants he has promoted to the rank of Major and placed in command positions, only one is a white male. How can this be? How can you white male lieutenants’ stand by and let him get away with this?
Where are the law suits? Where is the F.O.P.? Where is the P.B.A.? Where is the I.B.O.P? Where are your balls?
Ellis needs to act immediately! If he does not, it is time for drastic measures. Is this how Ellis is going to run the police department? Is he going to stand back and let further destruction happen? This department is on the verge of being divided.
Sorry to correct you Ben Dover, but NO white male lieutenants have been promoted to Major or higher. Only a white female, Moonyham.
And the only reason she was promoted was because T-Bo liked her smile...
Now THIS is TOTALLY unbelieveable.
Let’s explore this a little further. There has NEVER been a single white male skip a rank in this police department. At the same time there have been numerous black supervisors go from Lt. to Major (or higher) or go from Capt. to Dep. Chief (or higher). I guess there is not a single white male in the entire department worthy of this promotion huh? Most of these promotions have gone to people who are completely incompetent with almost no leadership skills. I have no problem with someone skipping a rank to an appointed position IF they are qualified and offer real leadership. The qualified black supervisors in this department have been treated like dirt by Bolton because he only promotes people who share his low character.
Either someone will correct this three ring circus in the near future or the federal courts will correct it for us. I’m pretty sure I know which of these would be the most costly. Mr. Ellis DID NOT create this mess but unfortunately it is his to clean up. The clock is ticking.
Major Yarbourgh was promoted.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Enough said!!!
What's up with the BOC meeting called for Tuesday...
The press release from the CEO's Corner doesn't say much:
DEKALB BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO HOLD COMMITTEE OF
THE WHOLE MEETING, TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 2009
The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners will have a Committee of the Whole Meeting on Tuesday, January 6, 2009at 12:30 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room, 5th Floor,Maloof Building located at 1300 Commerce Drive in Decatur.
The agenda is as follows:
I. 2009 Commission Issues
II. Other Issues
Do y'all really think anything is going to change for the better?? We are going to get nothing but more of the same (or similar) crap from Ellis. Isn't he the one who has had open disdain for us in the past? The one it is rumored that doesn't like PD? Whatever, but I really hope I am proven wrong. I actually like the taste of crow. We get what we deserve, I guess.
We are circling the drain and the bitching from the news guys who don't have a freaking clue is getting OLD. I've been here too long to leave and I'm as flipping pissed off as anyone. Guess what??? I don't have a choice but to stay and see what happens. If you have been here less that 5-6 years, get out. For those who have no experience, but bitch like 15 - 20 year vets - just leave. I don't like working with your lazy butt anyway.
But that is Just Me.
And when you think it cannot get any funnier, guess what he does again.
Can we start a "Get Rid of Tebo's Appointments Petition"?
Yarbrough was a Captain when he was appointed Major, not a lieutenant.
Since the detectives have a new commander, can she fix the new audio and video equipment in CID? This system was paid in full and has not worked since CID moved into the building. The poor detectives have to use a digital audio recorder to record an interview with a suspect or victim.
I’m sooo glad someone has noticed the "Hitman" Ranciefer. This guy is out of control. He has destroyed so much in so little time. As a major felony detective, we often work with gang detectives to solve agg assaults. A detective recently requested their assistance to find a shooter. They located the suspect involved, who was also involved in several armed robberies and other shootings; however, instead of interviewing him. They were ordered to get back on the street and write more tickets. Wow, are we now letting violent criminals back on the street, just so we can write tickets at the expense of the decent citizens of Dekalb in order to get stats for Tebo, so that his make believe Crime Reduction Team looks good before the BOC? I agree, the "Hitman" needs to go. He's killing morale, now hes allowing killers to walk, in order to protect his boss. I was told the gang unit hasn’t worked any major cases in months due to Ranciefer making up these stupid specials for them to write tickets and get stats, or be transferred back to the road of they don’t....don’t we have a special ops unit for that or has he killed their spirits too? We had a good source of information coming from the gang detectives. I guess that was working too good or maybe because "Hitman" didnt come up with this idea, it has been killed. Is this what we've become? A department who works through threats and intimidation. He's no better that Tebo, in fact he's worse, he carries out the hits. Thanks "Hitman", but your time is up. He's at the root of all these morale issues, dig up the root and dispose of it! Ranciefer, we don’t want you! Please take your dried up "Jerry Curl" and fly 90 out of here! John Pearson, its time to go to work, we're waiting for you and our new chief. Clean house and start over. Promote from within, we're waiting for a real "New Start, New Beginning".
For some reason, the county has stopped posting the BOC agenda on the BOC webpage. The last posted agenda was 12/18/08. We can only image why.
Can you imagine if it was the other way around. Only white Lieutenants got promoted above rank of Captain. The Lawsuits would be out the door.
There are so many rumors on who coming and who going where. We can only hope that its not another problem administration coming like we have now.
I wonder if the Chief will keep his 3 drivers with take home vehicles.
We also have Ben Gaither -head of the prayer group- he has a take home car.
I heard that Officer Jefferson who run some kind of teen program he has a take home car.
I want a take home car too.
A lot of people make comments some have some merit, some just stupid. This is America and all can speak their minds. I gave him a chance and he turned it into a cluster "F". It is time for him to go and be replaced by whomever. The HITMAN is a clear and precise name for him. He does not like the Gang Unit, because they had a small disagreement with him. He is very disrespectful along with Lt. Eunice under him, who is snapping his whip. There are three units under Homeland: Gang Unit, Homeland Detectives and Intel. The stats for this division are solely carried on the back of the gang detectives, who work very hard and long hours. But if you have been around here for any length of time, you know there is down time and special things for all. I can’t say how other units work, because i have been there. I can only speak for the places that I have been. All the officers and detectives of this department work hard and should be rewarded.
The BOC agenda has not been posted because the next regularly scheduled meeting is 1/13/09.
The agenda for the "Special Called Meeting" is never detailed.
It is my understanding that one major item will be to swear in Keith Barker as CoS.
The commissioners can add what ever they like, when ever they like.
Ellis failed to support several measures that would have been beneficial to PD and he runs pretty tight with ToBro but I don't think he dislikes PD.
I hope his relationship with ToBro won't taint his reputation.
RANCIFER IS NOT OVER HOMELAND. HE'S SPECIAL OPS AND UNIFORM. CHIEF FRANK IS OVER HOMELAND/GANGS/INTEL.
Get your facts straight before you start showing your ignorance.
As a Major over CID, she won't need to do much or have CID experience, its not like she will be assigned cases. It would be nice if she knew how CID works but she's really just another ass to kiss for the Lieutenants and Captains.
Rancifer may not be over CID or Homeland, but he has interfered in both divisions making their jobs more difficult. Get YOUR facts straight!
Wow! As a brother LEO I don’t understand how this can continue. At some point the county becomes liable if they are aware of the discriminatory acts, not just the PD. Sounds like TeBo is going to cost the county as much as he did in Dallas. I would suggest someone copy and paste some of this blog to the county attorney and the CEO so they can’t claim they were unaware of the practices. On a related note, I was told by a reliable source that collective bargaining was one vote away last year and will pass this year. I urge everyone to help make this happen. If you have worked in another state that has unions, your jaw is on the floor or you no longer work for DKPD. DeKalb admin., I know some of you read this blog do something ASAP or it will cost you millions. You have been warned!!
Blah blah blah.....Just another blue order that passes over a number of people who probably should have been moved into positions of authority a long time ago. Major Ramey may do a good job.
This won't effect over 90 percent of us.
It won't get us more officers, more detectives, more cars or tasers. And.... it won't give us the ability to effectively do our jobs the way we did so long ago.
This is just business as usual.
Who is Officer Jefferson and what does he do ?
Seems that I recall everyone supporting the guy who ran against Ellis. Why is Ellis now the savior and he hasn't done a dad-blamed thing yet? I don't think he likes us, people. Again, I hope I am wrong, but please don't set yourselves up for disappointment. I never though things could get worse after Graham, but wasn't I wrong.
I've known Ramey for a long time. I think the most apt description is "Barbie doll". Very nice lady but lacks brains. Definitely has no business being over CID.
But, that's Just Me.
Lets leave Rancifer alone and worry about Bolton and his lap dog, Keisha. When they are both gone every thing else will fall into place.
Just remember the new CEO doesn't want T-BO in his administration.
Why are you guys hating on Rancifer,what has he personally done to you? Seriously I want to know what he has done that have made this department so bad? I think its more of T-Bos' fault than the fly guy.
Ellis will show his true colors with his choice of the next chief and/or director. If he does not conduct a national search, then we know we are in for at least 4 more years of being screwed.
"On taking the job, Bolton pushed aside a roster of seasoned, high-ranking officers, including Doug Kowalski, a special events and tactical leader, and Jackson and Vasquez, both top candidates, to take over as chief. (The commanders later sued, and the city settled the cases for $5.6 million. Jackson and Taylor declined to settle, and their case is pending in a federal appeals court.)
In their place Bolton promoted far less experienced officers, several of whom were triple-promoted from the rank of sergeant, including one of Bolton's close friends, Deputy Chief Kyle Royster, who had twice failed the lieutenant's test."
Sound familiar?
Talk to people that work for Rancifer, I have. They respect the guy for the level headed hard worker that he is. He does demand people do their job, if you don't you need to go. How different from TeBo could he be.
Makes me think that those dogging him are slackers and whiners.
But instead of blaming him, why not concentrate on TeBo and his merry band of idiots. How many detectives have actually met Chief Anderson? Name one initiative one of TeBo's transfers have come up with that made any sense?
I remember what DeKalb was in its heyday, best equipment, best officers. I look forward to its return as the premiere department in the southeast again.
Rancifer and the few people in Special Ops who kiss his butt sure are spending a lot of time on here making excuses for him. I can't wait until Bolton is gone and Rancifer is put back to Lt. where he belongs.
I know a lot of people who work for Rancifer who can not stand him. To the person who thinks we should just leave Rancifer alone and concentrate on, “Bolton and his merry band of idiots,” I have a serious question. Just who do you think makes up Bolton’s merry band of idiots? Rancifer practically runs this department and does not do a very good job of it by most accounts. Everyone knows Bolton is gone all the time. Just who do you think is carrying out his wishes in his absence? Bolton can not do all of the crazy dirty things he does all by himself. He needs help from somebody. Rancifer was a lieutenant a little more than a year ago. He went from Lieutenant to Major to Deputy Chief to Assistant Chief in a little more than a year. And he did this by treating people right and standing up to Bolton? Who really believes that besides the few people who sit in the Bobby Burgess Building and worship him? I agree with people who say that Bolton is the primary problem but I will not forget the people who have assisted him in destroying this department.
I'm still waiting for "Major Eunice".
Be quiet now, Eunice already thinks he's a Major with a future D/C position coming after that.
Everyone singing the praises of John Pearson!!! Doesn't anyone remember what an arrogant and integrity impaired individual he is?
Do we dare mention the misappropriation of property while he was in narcotics? Rumors of TVs missing and FLSA fraud were rampant before he "fell" into favor.
Is he better then what we have? Why should we trade one bad for another when there are so many qualified people to choose from?
A recently promoted major in the DeKalb Police Department could lose his certification. The Police Officers Standards and Training Council held a hearing on Thursday on complaints about one of two officers recently promoted.
Major Donald Frank and Chief John Pearson's promotions have been called into question by fired officers who were trying to form a union.
The council confirmed it is investigating Major Donald Frank, and that certification board heard part of his case today.
But the details of what he's accused of are being kept confidential until Frank gets a full hearing next month.
Frank does have an internal affairs file with DeKalb County Police, as does newly appointed assistant chief John Pearson, and both have had protective orders taken out against them by family members.
Since Frank was hired in 1988, he has received at least two suspensions -- one for failing to search a prisoner who was found to be carrying a knife, and another for lying and unwanted conduct, for making advances on a female officer.
He received written counseling for running tag checks on vehicles for his own personal use, and for conduct unbecoming an officer after an argument with his ex- wife and her male friend -- in which Frank indicated he had a gun under his shirt.
His wife took out a protective order shortly afterward.
Fired officer Malik Douglas, who is suing the department for unfair termination is questioning both Frank's and Pearson's recent promotions.
“There is no possible way he should have been promoted. That shows to the other officers -- I don't know if you want to go as far as corruption, but there is mismanagement that is taking place.

One word for T-Bo and his lap dogs "CLOWNS". Please give CEO Ellis a chance before we start doubting him. I think he will do what's right. However, he has to do it the right way. I don't want T-Bo to get an extra dime from this county. Does T-Bo not understand vern is no longer the CEO. ANN RAMEY, Commander in CID. Like I said from the start "CLOWNS". Flem Flan is not here to carry her. Oh, I forgot, that's Denson's assignment.
wasn't she just a rookie a few short years ago????
Yeah, yeah, yeah....why don't everyone just "go party" (or take a nap) on one of the million-dollar magic buses and make yourself feel better.....(Oh wait....my bad.....you've got to find them first......and then have a "Golden-Boy-Tebo-Pass" to be allowed on them.
