once again the C.E.O. the board of commissioners and the command staff of public safety have failed miserably. They knew the bad weather was coming for more than a week and failed to have adequate public safety personnel on duty along with fleet personnel to equip Fire, police, and sheriff with chains on vehicles to respond to 911 calls. these are first responders waiting to get chains on vehicles to go out and respond to calls. The Fleet does not have enough workers on duty to get the vehicles out due to poor scheduling.
I hope the New C.E.O. will do a better job at placing competent command staff in critical positions that require common sense and the ability to plan ahead for events that may come up in the county. this is just one of thousands of incidents that show how incompetent the police chief and the leaders of different departments throughout Dekalb County are.

Honestly, I was really pissed at first that we weren’t prepared for this situation. But I decided to keep quiet and not do anything that would risk my safety and I made that very clear to my supervisor. It’s frustrating that the supervisors will just sit back and watch people go out in these conditions without offering any real help. And then people wonder why so many are leaving for other departments. At this point, I’ve stopped caring because it’s obvious Dekalb doesn’t. Please don’t waste your time expressing concern to the higher-ups—they don’t care either. I’ve never seen so many people too scared to speak up because they’re more worried about their title than doing what’s right. I’m out of here in a couple of months anyway.
