I don’t know who you are, or what you did for the department or how long you worked there, but I pray to God you understood probable cause better when you made arrests (if you ever actually made any) than you seem to now.

Yes, there ...This is not the way to deal with this. Yes, there is a big issue with the Politices in this County interfering with Policing the County. Policing should be left to sound mind trained individual's not elected officials. Elected Officials your roll is, to write the Ordnance’s and Policies for the the agency, Govern accordingly and allow The Police Chief and their trusted staff implements them. Not all this backdoor mess and interference from a Director and CEO. Now to the Officer’s what you are putting on this blog about the Blue Flu is very unbecoming. If I was still working for the Police Department and not retired, I would print this blog and everyone that did not show up for work would be charged with felony violation of oath of office and fired. Printing the blog although it has no names will show that your actions were calculated and deliberate. The CEO can call the Governor to send in the National Guard's and Dekalb has a Memorandum of Understanding with the surrounding agencies that they will help cover the County’s calls. In addition the Majority of the agency's officer’s are Deputized, which mean will allow the to make arrest if they need to! The CEO needs to do what is right but any officer that participates in this deserves to be fire. You are placing the Citizen lives business owner’s lives and property in jeopardy. If you want to protest just leave and do it that way. As for the Police Command Staff stand up and lead the officer’s and stop letting them lead you, work together for the great of DeKalb County!

I handled my calls, I wrote my reports, and most importantly I did my part to try and be the best I could be. I even tried to be as proactive as I could when possible. You can’t trust anyone in the department and not even some supervisors. The department is an absolute joke and I’m glad I was able to get my certification and leave with dignity. You can’t be proactive, you can’t deny bullshit reports, you can’t have an opinion, and you can’t even find time to take a shit during shift. I’m glad I left and my stress has been nonexistent ever since that decision. Best of luck to everyone that is still at the department. You really need to ask yourself is it worth it, go find another department with better pay and quality of life.

It seriously pisses me off but I think we need to organize better. We need to get the citizens in this fight with us and have that support and show up at the Commissioner meetings in mass to present a strong message with community support. We need officer's from each division & precinct to help stage some meeting times & locations so we can better organize.

Today I do not tell anyone where I work and I never wear anything that says Dekalb police on it. The state of our department is a disgrace not because of the officers but how it is run by the command staff and the CEO. In the academy, you are told on a daily basis if you lie, cheat, or steal you will be fired and prosecuted for violating your oath of office. The many CEOs and the BOC along with all the Chiefs have lied to us and cheated us out of raises and our pensions were stolen from us because we were promised we would reach top-out pay and have the best benefits in the metro area. It is a very sad situation that we find ourselves in and it is obvious the CEO and BOC do not care about public safety.

When I was a rookie, the score you got on your eval is what you would get for an annual raise. So, for my non-math people, if you scored a 3.8 on your annual eval, you got a 3.8% raise that year. It made officers strive to do well, was a great recruiting tool and helped retain officers.

Are these words coming from a true brother or sister in blue ? Did you put in your time in the trenches, back up fellow officers and if you promoted did you lead from the front ? Or were you a call dodging slug? Maybe a brown nosing backstabber who went from one cush position to another on someone’s coattails or by being a lapdog? Pretty ironic that you are talking about honor and pride and hiding your identity when you’re already retired and have nothing to lose. Gary Gainey was once called out on this forum by an anonymous post. He responded, answered the allegations leveled against him and signed his name. What’ve ran home nah think of him, you have to respect that response from him. <br />Here you are retired - and anonymously admonishing officers who are dealing with the worst conditions the county has ever seen as to how to conduct themselves. Sounds very on brand for the classic model of DKPD command staff. <br /><br />Regardless of my personal opinion on the “blue flu” the lines are clearly drawn. I do believe many think it’s all a bluff.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-80870669078342942282022-06-21T10:45:59.075-04:002022-06-21T10:45:59.075-04:00https://www.foxnews.com/us/supreme-court-sides-min...https://www.foxnews.com/us/supreme-court-sides-minneapolis-residents-suing-depleted-police-force-731-officersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5067361049814621194.post-13447035261067545742022-06-21T10:17:54.076-04:002022-06-21T10:17:54.076-04:002-2.26 ILLNESS/CONDITION (PHYSICAL/MENTAL) SICK ...2-2.26 ILLNESS/CONDITION (PHYSICAL/MENTAL) SICK LEAVE Failure to notify a superior officer/supervisor when one becomes ill or injured and cannot report for work, or if there is any change in one's physical/mental health that could disqualify the individual from being employed by the department or impair one's abilities to carry out his job assignment is prohibited.<br /><br />County Policy above.
