This is all our fault. ..(well not the small half dozen that have been with me).... but Yeah you heard me right. It's every single ass that wears the DKPD badge.... we can get on this blog and bitch, and bitch, and bitch about how we're being screwed but when the time comes to carry your sorry asses to the BOC meetings you find every freakin excuse you can to explain why you couldn't go and stand united and show up in force....get up there and speak to the chosen ones for a right of passage....<br /><br /> Let me just say that I've been present....waiting to see my team mates show up....and every single month it's a freakin NO SHOW!!!! Except for the half dozen few that are with me.....LISTEN, !!What in the hell is wrong with you people, do you honestly think that out of sight is out of mind and that your absence at these BOC meetings is some how going to work in your favor.... STOP you freakin bitchin for once and get involved and do something to change this .... Instead of hiding behind your computer monitors spilling your hate.<br /><br /> If you guys and gals are as concerned as you seem to be here on this blog then where in the hell are all the warm bodies when its time for a BOC meeting....where, oh where .... I know exactly where, you are all sitting on your asses waiting for someone else to fall on their sword... <br /><br /> All I can say is this, what is happening to all of us is exactly what we deserve, and its for a lack of being involved....

Stathis is not going anywhere. The command staff likes his kind of leadership. It shows because he is still there. The problem started when the command staff "balls" where cut off by eliminating them from merit protection. That's when they started to become lap dogs to the BOC and CEO. Until the command staff has some type of protection from better "removed", like in the Sheriff department, bend over and hold those ankles. i enjoyed my time at DKPD but the writing on the wall was getting a little too much. It is greener on the other side. Just depends on what type of green you are searching for. I decided if im going to get a small paycheck at-least i should like my job. And if the only good comment you can say at roll call is "be glad you have a job, its hard out there" stay in your office.Former East Officernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-87118963295852364332011-10-30T22:02:46.126-04:002011-10-30T22:02:46.126-04:00Clearing on calls and being enroute to back....

The sergeants at my precinct don't have the backing of the white shirts....they're quick to pass the buck and are quicker to hang you out to dry. A lot of things that drop in our lap should be handled by NET or ICP teams.

What you fail t...Hey Anon 12:03 you are so correct. What you fail to realize is most of the people making the comments are lost souls. This county has been taken to the cleaners by some people. The playing field has always been uneven and continues to be for some. The sad thing is no one will take a stand. I remember that very sad day 9~11. Everyone came together as one, now look how divided we have become. We have a country that has been driven into the ground by a certain group. It took eight years to make things this way, you didn't utter one word. Although I didn't agree still and thought my kids to RESPECT the president. In my opinion this is a very bad race issue. When will we wake up and help each other? As long as we are divided and blame race, things will never improve. When is the last time you took a stand for injustice? When is the last time you gave a citizen some good sound advice? Stop being a part of the problem and start being a part of the solution. We all bleed red blood. Until you talk to a person with an open mind, you have no idea what journey they have traveled. Stop assuming every person you run into is a perp. If you just do a few minor things you can make DeKalb County and America a better place. I don't think people making $250.000.00 a year give a rats ass about any of us. Look at the Washington. If a certain party keeps fighting we will have 4 more years of President Obama, look at the money he is raising, that's called a clue. Look at this place who is taking a stand? The only thing I keep hearing is they won't listen. At least Tebo took it to the people and he gained support. What the hell do we have now. We are ALL (Black and White) about to get screwed. As long as we stay divided they win. Ask your self if you are getting your ass kicked do you care if the person coming to help you is Democrat or Republican? Do you say radio start me a Republican officer? Hell no you say start me a unit. And if you do feel that way let it be known. I know for a fact a lot of you won't bark unless you have your gang with you. If this county continues at the paste its going, we will all suffer. Do some research instead of putting a certain race down. You will see things so much differently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-15822726804593920102011-10-29T17:06:59.154-04:002011-10-29T17:06:59.154-04:00Why does stupidity (leaving triple murder weapons ...Why does stupidity (leaving triple murder weapons at crime scene for media to find, etc.) and morale issues continually flow out of East?

A few to departments who have more to offer, I say good for them.<br /><br />Chief O,<br /><br />I believe your a good commander and try do whats best for your employees. We all understand your hands are tied by the board of crooks. You need to start appearing at roll calls without sergeants and lieutenants present, and listen to what we have to say. Especially at East!! We go out with 9 officers on a watch on any given day. Supervisors dont clear on calls, we are responding to 87/69 with one officer, or priority one calls alone with no back up. There is always 2 on special to write tickets and have been ordered do NOT come off of special unless directed. This is serious conflict, the ticket issue at east is so bad that everyone from sergeant thru captain dont care what happens as long as the tickets are written and it keeps the Major off of their backs.<br /><br />pretty soon we will be handling a watch with six officers, there will be no traffic stops or citations written because officer safety out here is at an all time low.
