Chief Ramos was told she can not go to 12 hours shifts from the CEO, once again she tried to implement something without letting Decatur know what she was doing. so she got angry and is taking more time off and going out of town.
Dekalb will struggle to have an adequate amount of officers on the road to respond to all the calls and provide adequate coverage for the citizens of Dekalb.
this is dangerous for the public and the officers and this is why the crime rate is so high and the lack of traffic enforcement is nonexistent in Dekalb.

Ramos is the reason we have lost so many officers, with her arrogance and the way she treats the officers, I blame her and the CEO and the commissioners for the sad state that the p[olice department is in.
Michael Thurmond and the commissioners just proved to the officers they do not care about the safety or the morale of the department.
the death of DeKalb county will be the result of having Michael Thurmond and Mirtha Ramos as the CEO and the police chief
I think its time for the officers to organize a blue flu
How does a department go from over 1000 officer operation to less than 400 officers in less than 7 years. The problem is the leadership that the elected CEO ‘s put in place at the department. They appoint people who will answer “YES “ to anything they ask or direct them to do. They love playing the real Chief Of Police and the appointed Chiefs just puppets except for Ramos who is clueless to the position.
It's well past time for a blue flu. At this rate if we don't do something soon, there won't be anything left of the department.
Since it's been put out that the 12 hr shift is cancelled, we've had a new wave of planned resignations announced on uniform.
Honestly. If enough of you officers are serious you can have a no confidence vote for the chief. I recommend you guys use the FOP, PBA, or an attorney like Russo(just a recommendation) who can speak on behalf of officers who have legitimate concerns. This includes safety, pay, benefits, morale, and real concerns the CEO and board have to address, not promises of “ok we hear you”. I would recommend that the multiple media channels be present and have a retired officer from her past department speak the v truth if you can find one. But hey I’m speaking on this forum in hopes this may help. Good luck to you all from a former DKPD officer. I left years ago and I’m happy for my own reasons. I wish the best for you all and pray in time things change for the better.
Ramos was hired after meeting Michael Thurmond over a weekend retreat for NOBLE. how he decided over a weekend she had the qualifications for a large police department we will never know. After she was hired she came in with the worst attitude and treated the officers like shit. then she chose to surround herself with the likes of Curtis Williams who should have been fired on numerous occasions. Ramos lost any credibility with the officers once she aligned herself with him and some of her other little minions. she has made a bad decision after a bad decision and yet the CEO just turns his head and looks the other way as she destroys the department.
the media has been contacted and they will not pick up the story and run with it, they have been told if they run negative stories about her and the department that they will not be included in breaking news.
the media is scared to ask the tough questions
must have been some weekend at the NOBLE conference, I guess her oral interview skills must have blown Thurmond away and impressed him to pick her.
Rest assured she has something hanging over his head. No one interested in a political career would allow such incompetence to continue under their leadership. Law enforcement competence is judged by resulting crime rates and Dekalb is an absolute failure.
Nothing will change in this Department until we start taking a stand for ourselves. Our "leaders" obviously don't care about those of us who actually do the work. So here's an idea: stop helping this Department look good. Don't submit anything to our fake ass DKPD Social Media pages for starters. All they trying to do is put a happy face on a down trodden, over worked, under appreciated department. Stop volunteering for special details, coffee with a cop, etc. Come to work, swipe in, answer your calls, do your reports, swipe out and go home. When you do have an opportunity to talk to the citizens, tell them how it really is... because until they start raising hell for us, no one will care. The DeKalb FOP is a joke...they have no pull and everyone knows it. We have the power but we are too afraid to use it. It's time to take a stand.
So Chief Cardi B and her little lap dog Curtis Williams attended the officer memorial in DC, they flew up to show support for the fallen officers in Dekalb. our honor guard also attended the memorial and they drove a county vehicle up to DC, Chief Cardi B did not want to take public transportation or use uber and did not have enough common sense to rent a car. so she took the vehicle that the honor guard drove and made them use public transportation to get to the places they needed to be.
Ramos is such a diva a self-centered idiot please God let her find another agency to destroy and let her leave Dekalb.
Ramos has been cancer from the moment she was hired. If she gets her advice from an idiot like Curtis Williams then we know she is incompetant. look one of her girls got caught lying about her time and not working and now nothing is going to happen to durham.
not only did Durham lie about working a full shift but she also turned in overtime sheets for sitting at home. she also worked part-time jobs while on the clock for the county. yet nothing has happened to her.
I am happy Durham is getting away with this, now I know if I screw up they cant fire me because they let her violate her oath of office and lie and steal from the county. so I am good.
Michael Thurmond is the worst thing that has ever happened to Dekalb county, I can't even blame Ramos anymore, Thurmond hired her and is allowing her to destroy this department. Thurmond also is the one who lied to all the veteran officers about correcting the pay decompression, he gave the command staff raises to equal the metro area, then he gave all officers with 1 to 12 years of experience a pay raise to bring them and he and the commissioners told the officers with 12 plus years they would be taken care of in phase two. phase two was never implemented and they basically told the veteran officers to go fuck themselves. this is why people are leaving and no one wants to work here they see the pay sucks and the benefits are horrible and they do not take care of the officers.
Michael Thurmond and the commissioners have received two major pay increases in the past three years.
Michael Thurmond you are the worst CEO that has ever been in Dekalb county and i hope Karma hits you inthe face and you reap what you have sewn here in Dekalb.
^^^unless you’re a black female you’ll get fired for anything… unlike Rutland , Shover , Durham ,Williams or Golden
Durhams father was in the command staff in APD. He’s affiliated with NOBLE. So is our CEO. Figure it out for yourself.. this place is garbage
it is amazing how Dekalb allows certain officers and command staff to do things that are wrong, unethical, and even criminal and nothing is done to them.
Major Williams, Capt. Rutland, Lt. Rorey, Lt White officer Durham, and the list goes on...
all of them should have been fired and even n some cases but yet they all still have their jobs and have even been promoted to special ranks and placed in special positions. this is what is wrong with Dekalb it's corrupt from deep inside all the way to the top.
Lt. Rorey was caught stealing on camera on a part-time job and nothing happened. Durham falsifying FLSA and even turning in overtime sheets for staying at home while working and nothing is going to happen. Williams should have been fired on a number of occasions. Rutland refused to pay for work done on her pov and took the car without paying and a police report was filed on her, yet nothing happened.
I cant believe how bad DeKalb has gotten, the patients are running the asylum
If we don't get our $1000 this Friday we need a blue flu.
Hey Anon at 8:21, you mention Lt. White. What did he do? I know 16 years ago he had the incident with the Traffic Stop and I was at North when he was transferred afterwards. He was taken off STAR, sent to SSGT, written up and basically ostracized, even to this day, by certain officers. I would say he was disciplined and then some. I was promoted to Sergeant well ahead of him and was at East when he was transferred there. He’s received several commendations, was on NET at both North and East without any other issues. It is what it is, but when you bring that stop up, he will tell you why and what went through his head at the time. There was no dishonesty in what he did. As a reference, another officer at Center had a similar incident, and nothing happened. And he is one of the main Anon’s who continues to whine on this blog. Happy trails!
^^ LT White. While you try to defend yourself why don’t you mention all the other incidents where you failed to perform your job. You only highlighted one when there are several more. Then you’ve spent years claiming how bada$$ you were to rookie officers that weren’t even around of your infamous MPO days. I hear Uvlade PD is hiring
Wow the hate you guys express is unreal, especially the Uvalde comment. Look, whoever you choose to continue to bitch and moan about, remember one thing! Those persons are thinking one thing ; it’s better to be the happy person being hated on, than the miserable person doing the hating! There the better chance they don’t even read this rag sheet of a blog. I’ll wager that the individual(s) hacking up this crap are less than stellar officers themselves? Am I right? You got your fingers caught in the cookie jar doing cowboy shit, talking about fellow employees in racists and derogatory remarks and so on and so on. I know I’m right, and I know that it’s still funny as hell that these folks remain in your shallow memory banks, rent ass free. Y’all got to move on and get your mouth off that bottle you cling to life on. Nothing personal, I just want to read something different on this rag!
Sounds very personal. Sounds like somebody hit a nerve lol. This is a blog to get the truth out because you know the shady command staff and chief won't. If the truth hurts then don't read it.
Tell me why uniform officer are getting new tahoes when those officers already have tahoes. Mean while veteran officers are still sitting in caprices and not only that you have over 40 tahoes that are not 2022 sitting in parking lot rotting that could have been put out to rookie officers that got new tahoes. No wonder people are leaving.
Uniform is struggling to get enough officers to cover shifts meanwhile a certain Lieutenant, who has less actual time on the road humping calls and being proactive than most PO2’s, is sending emails across the whole metro area berating everyone for not getting out of their units ALONE and facing 75-100 street racers who show the will to assault officers and their units. I guess being promoted when you have no real police experience means you know everything. I would love to see him put actions where his mouth is flapping. I want to see him put on his uniform, vest, duty gear, and bodyworn then go in by himself, get out, taze and pepper spray a few in the crowd. He seems to think this will deter and discourage the rest from continuing to act out. He is so far detached from the real world. He would rather sit on a beach with his laptop on vacation monitoring the social media accounts of these street racers, than take the lead of being proactive and putting together a large scale plan of attack against them. Oh yeah…because we don’t have the manpower.
Walter White is a snake, a coward, and most importantly less than a piece of a shit. I’d rather keep shit in my car as air freshener than work under him ever again. He really needs to be fired.
