Pulling individual stats then write ups for low productivity standard etc. The ironic part of all of it is there really is no supervision on the streets as we are all in the office doing pointless paperwork or handling unwarranted complaints. I'm sure that will come to an end when the upper brass starts getting their share of lawsuits because of poor training and decisions made in the field. A taser incident takes an entire shift to complete if you can track down a taser software cable before ridiculous kickbacks are returned for editing, again reducing actual supervision or guidance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-41751876142976368772010-07-17T13:10:36.320-04:002010-07-17T13:10:36.320-04:00Everyone who is eligible should push to go to CID....Everyone who is eligible should push to go to CID...no tickets to write, no calls to hump and plenty of overtime.Optimus Primehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029190409474760503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-37629126415579496122010-07-17T12:42:14.929-04:002010-07-17T12:42:14.929-04:00I wonder how well this will go over at east where ...I wonder how well this will go over at east where Castro is running things.

I'm a supervisor and will never tell anyone to write a long copy. That is your discretion.. But just be careful, this money issue gets worse some of us may be losing our job, and it's LOW pay!

It is time for the chief to lead and bring some new ideas and vitality to the force, and somehow stand up for you guys on the unpaid work-holidays for the officers. This is a touchy subject, the reason Vernon brought in Bolton was because Mr. CEO wanted a yes-man more than a good chief. I was totally stunned to hear that Ellis appointed O'Brien due to O'Brien's race, enough said about that. Its starting to look like Director Miller is the appointed yes-man to the CEO. <br />Best of luck, mates!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-30188020387646058422010-07-15T18:01:32.272-04:002010-07-15T18:01:32.272-04:00Why isSheila E. speaking about police related issu...Why isSheila E. speaking about police related issues?

Is this the best you can do Mr. CEO? You need to show some leadership and cut this idiot before she drags you all the way to the bottom. Do you have any idea what the rest of the DeKalb County employees think of her? <br /><br />I understand the frustration of the uniform officers and despite what some people will try to tell you, the morale of the department is still pretty low. This is particularly true in the uniform division. Officers are upset about the unpaid holidays and they are just reacting out of frustration. This is understandable but the lack of funds is hardly unique to DeKalb County. Cities, counties and states all over the country are in very similar circumstances. Many are worse off than DeKalb County financially. <br /><br />I think the overriding factor in the low morale of the uniform officer is the things that happen in our everyday life. Yeah, we are mad about the money but the thing that really hurts is the poor leadership that we have to endure everyday! <br /><br />I am in no position to talk to Chief O’Brien, but if I had the opportunity I would tell him that the Assistant Chief he has in place over uniform is absolutely horrible and he is doing far more to destroy morale than the unpaid holidays. He is an arrogant know it all and he talks to his subordinates like they were dogs. I understand that there are times when you have to put your foot down in this occupation and just chew someone’s ass but there should be more positive than negative. You would never act like this Chief O’Brien. So why do you allow someone under your command to act this way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-77994677147986538722010-07-15T11:30:01.255-04:002010-07-15T11:30:01.255-04:00If you see your co-workers turning in long copies ...If you see your co-workers turning in long copies that aren't involved with a 41, you need to speak up and say something to them.
