Another IA??

Someone tell me, is there truth to the rumor that there is yet a new IA against our favorite capatain?
He has to have the record at this point.

I heard the same thing but have not been able to independently verify it.

The rumor about the "waste water" leakage in his office is true though...how poetic. I guess it does all eventually run down hill.

Can anyone clear up the other one?

Doesnt matter if he has another IA or not. The command staff will circle the wagons again and not do a thing to him. Why even worry about this, the guy has zero respect from anyone - both below him and above him. If he wasnt a captain and wasnt so vindictive, no doubt many more people would tell him what they think of him. It is like Joe Yetto never left.
What does it matter?

Scuds rain down from above...circling the wagons will do no good except make for a fatter, more easily recognizable, target.

The guy has gotten away with bs time and time again. What makes you think that this time is going to be any different? He is the one who has to live with the fact that nobody likes him.

What was the violation of the Terms of Use? I couldn't find it in the text below. If we as the officers have a problem with the way a Captain is leading, or in this case, failing to lead, can we not voice our opinions about this? Or is MOD 1 the capt in question? That would make more sense. Let us speak!

MOD 1, if you knew the person that was posting this it would make complete sense. He likes to skip/omit/change anything that could possibly point to him as the problem.

I wasn't the one who posted the deleted comments, arsehole. But I did agree with them 100%. We have a Captain who is out of control (oops, is that considered a SLAM?) and nothing is ever done to correct him. But he is swift in his judgment and disipline of those who he commands. There is an issue with respect and trust and that should be addressed by the people on the 4th floor, but since it has never happened before, why would we expect them to do anything about it now?

Hey MOD 1 since I didn't use any names are you going to censor me, or is this generic enough to post?

Do what you like, they're still arseclowns.

that captain is a cancer to the morale of this agancy.

Can we do a "vote of no confidence" on a captin? Who does that, the PBA? Is there anything we can do at all?

what is he accused of doing THIS time?! i've been out of the loop for so long. or maybe i'm numb from this dude getting away with so much sheet.

Allegedly dropped the "N" bomb at a K9 Training session. DC Golt is on the caper, odds are on a cover-up, 10-1.

Wonder what K9er blew him in? He is so loved by the members of that unit. Rual and Powder were probably just waiting to hit send on that one.

Who cares who did it, he's a disgrace.

You guys should report that to the sunsentinel then the city would have to do something ? As an african american resident i am stunned by this, are they teaching the dogs to bite me and my children. As it is I get a ticket if I leave the house.

Helloooooo!!!!!!!!!! anyone home? Hmmmmm yeah just what I thought. Sorry Mr. resident of ppines seems like no one wants to comment on this one.. :!:

WE are powerless. YOU should report it to the Sun Sentinel. No change will come from within, only with pressure from the outside.

Greetings to all of the fine men and women of the pppd. It is unfortunate and it has been brought to my attention from a fellow resident that one of your officers allegedly used the "N bomb". Is this true? And if so, how is this matter being handled? As a board member of the naacp, pastor, and resident of ppines, I have nothing but positive things to say to the officers of this dept. If the allegations are true, I really hope and have confidence that the leaders of pppd will take this matter serious and not sweep it under the rug. Have a blessed day.

Already swept under the rug, Doc. Call the Chief and ask for an explanation (it IS public record), call the news and have them with you. Call Jesse and Al. We want accountability as much as you do!!!

Good evening ladies and gentlemen from the pppd. Forgive me for invading on you guys forum. I know this forum is used for offficers to communicate with each other and it is a way for you all to express yourselves. I just wanted to say that I was a little disturbed when I heard that an officer from this outstanding dpt used the N word in a training session in front of many ppl. This rotten apple of an individual should be held accountable immediately for his actions and should not be allowed to spoil the reputation of a top class dept.

I am a not a resident in the city of pembroke pines but who ever the hell :evil: this person is, he should be demoted or suspended. I mean what is the Director of this dept gonna do about this?

I am a not a resident in the city of pembroke pines but who ever the hell :evil: this person is, he should be demoted or suspended. I mean what is the Director of this dept gonna do about this?

The same thing that is always done with this person... NOTHING. Trust me, we all would love to see something done about this as well expecially since this is a person in a high level of authority who is suppose to be a leader here. My suggestion is to call the Mayor and commissioners and demand an explanation. All of there contact info is at the Pines website www.ppines.com (http://www.ppines.com)

i don't expect that anything will be done about this issue. he has carte blanc to do what he wants in this dept. more than half the posts on this site pertain to this guy and our chief does nothing about him. why is nothing being done? the chief just wants to hit "10 years" so he can cash in? or maybe the chief is just the the guy we're speaking of.........

i challenge you to make some waves!

Yeah, I double-dogg dare you to make some waves. Lets have some fun!!!!!!!!!

If there is any truth to the allegations, they will never be able to keep that under wraps. Don't be afraid, ask the tough questions. The answers are there, look hard for them.

Does anyone else see that almost every complaint on this thing is about just one person? I heared that several sergents did or are about to lodge a big complaint against him as well.
To our concerned residents, please pursue this issue. Many in the ranks have tried, but we have not been successful. Comisioner Castillo might be a great resource to start with, call him.
Good luck.

Drop all the Commissioners an email, along with the Mayor and City Manager. Someone has got to listen.

Dont kid yourself. Castillo will be the first one of em all to vote away our benefits. He is no friend of the PD, and is already looking to take away benefits that we are getting. He is looking to take away the DROP (8%) as we speak.

He's going to do nothing. It's the only SOP he consistently applies.

I'm really surprized this is getting so much attention,.. have you been to the local High School football games lately, The african american players refer to themselves / the other players and their home team mates with the N word,...I hear parents using the N word,... and yes I have heard african american police officers talking to other african american police officers using this term... so can you explain to me when it is terrible to use and when it is ok?

Well it's obvious now that "when it's used in the context of telling a story" it's ok, or so says the DC. And by the way, HS football season has been over for about 6 months. You may want to pick a more recent reference, unless you're "telling a story" then it's ok.

Man, you have it easy, some get robbed every time they leave their house

And you are an idiot too my friend for making this comment. IDIOT!!!!!!!!!

I heard that a certain captain got beat up in the hostile work training today. Can anyone comment?

I heard that a certain captain got beat up in the hostile work training today. Can anyone comment?

Yes, it's true, and it was some of the funniest stuff I have heard in a long time. Ask someone who was there, they will tell you if you haven't already heard.

Ruth was even blushing it was so clearly apparent who all the questions were about.

I heard about the Monday training and I was at the DB training session. He got smacked at that one to. And he was there and had to here it! It was great, it is about time he got it thrown back in his face for a change. He was embarrassed and everyone was laughing at him. The post way back is so true, nobody at all has any respect for that clown. He cant stay bulletproof forever, his time will come.

Is it ironic, or simply keeping up with the sweep it under the carpet mentality, that Alpha and Charlie Shift were not afforded the same opportunity to write questions/notes at that same Training? Or did Ruth finally learn that it's not a good idea to give a bunch of cops an open and free forum like that? :devil:

it's also amazing on how the charlie shift patrol captain wasn't in sight during the entire class.

I was at the admin training where our favorite capt got a couple of embarasing questions directed to him. No doubt at all that he had Ruth ordered to stop handing out the paper and the AC most likely went right along with it. Why would they stop sweeping things under the carpet when they have become so good at it? Its to bad because I am sure that there would have been more embarasment for the young attorney if charlie and alpha were allowed to ask questions. :lol:

Now that it's so well known, doesn't Ruth have an obligation to bring that to the attention of Human Resources? If she doesn't she should be fired. If the Command Staff that was present doesn't do anything to address the concerns of the masses, they have failed us all.

The command staff wont do jack s***. That would mean an admission that one of thier own has messed up and we just cant have that. The best we can hope for is that the a$$hole passes the bar and goes away. I don't think it would surprise any of us if he became an atty who goes after cops. But dont ever expect the command staff to admit that there is a problem with one of thier own.

Nothing to see here... move along.

none of those s.o.beez care about anything but tthemselves. they stopped beeing cops long ago. the top few are crying about not being picked for asst. chief. where are these "concerned citizens" who claim to want to see things being done fairly? they don't really care either. i wonder if this guy is going to use the "n" word in a court of law. better yet, he'll probably be a child advocate attorney.

watch out for flying books if you don't get your 10 tickets!!!!!!

"watch out for flying books if you don't get your 10 tickets!!!!!!"

I've seen that guy play ball before, no worries. Actually, I'd probably lean in to it, and take it for the team.

He wouldn't be very hard to catch either if you wanted to charge the mound. Have you ever seen him run?

Never seen him run, never seen him do real police work. He is the only person here with more than five years who has never been in a foot or veh chase. He has never been a cop, but he is going to tell us all how great he is.
Nope, never seen him run anything but his mouth... but we have all seen him write people up!

No doubt, he sure loves to run his mouth.

That may be true, but he knows what secrets to hold in reserve like a trump card doesn't he?

What happened?

I'm gonna try this again (second attempt). The following is a response I posted on Sun Sentinel's web page in response to the recent "public outcry" in our city. Apparently the thread for this topic has already been deleted. Read some of the comments on there. I guarantee you'll walk away from your computers filled with angst.

Attn. Mr Mayo & pettifoggers alike,
Whatever side you're on. Whatever your personal views are, cut and paste (or click on) the following to your address bar of your internet server. After watching, just remember that a good number of your friends, neighbors, and members of your local, state, and federal law enforcement, fire departments, and paramedics share the exact same views as the HEROES (yes I said HEROES) in this clip. Not only that, but some of us have actually been in their shoes whether it be prior military engagements, or current professions.
Just remember not only did they, but I also fought daily for your right to say publicly that our President, Governor, Mayor, or our laws and practices have gotten out of control.
I have fought for your right to say things that never occurred (i.e. shooting people in the back, knocking people unconscious with the butt of my rifle, or laying them next to their dying father).
I apologize for the fact that there is nothing anyone can say to justify our actions or assuage the anger or anguish some of you feel toward any type of authority that has "wronged" you in some way, shape or form.
As the last line in this clip goes "This is the greatest country on the face of the planet... It's worth my life..... and I'd give it again". Remember that next time you criticize me/us with your unwarranted rhetoric’s.
Now watch and learn...

Why is it that as soon as something even slightly negative gets put on here about a certain captain, the MOD takes it off? Have you seen Miramar's threads??? Quit censoring us!!!

A paradoy of the recent article that rings a lot of truth. Read carefully.

Pembroke Pines police captain earns degree at NSU Law School

June 22, 2008

As a rule, Dan Rakofsky wears many hats and writes many people up. But now the musician, photographer, father, cop wanna-be and never-been and Pembroke Pines Police Department paper-captain has another one — lawyer.

A recent graduate of Nova Southeastern University's Law School, Rakofsky, 38, has worked in law enforcement for 18 years, yet has no experience

"I always knew I wanted to further my education," he said. A police chief advised him that since he would never be a true cop, to pursue a law degree if he wanted to climb higher in administration, and Rakofsky decided to take on the challenge.

With no preparation, Rakofsky took the Law School Admission Test and did well enough to get into Nova's law program for working professionals.

"I got a lot of different reactions," he said. "Most people said 'we really don't care what you do' and a few others said 'You are crazy. That's so much work.'"

Rakofsky enrolled in 2004. Four grueling years, a $100,000 investment and hours of studying later, he has his law degree in hand.

So what's next?

"That's the million-dollar question," Rakofsky said. "But I think it's an incredibly flexible and useful degree. It will probably involve putting good cops on the stand and seeing if I can get thier words turned around and then bury them. I have become pretty good at that over the years"

Ken Hall, assistant chief with the Pembroke Pines Police Department, said the department already is benefiting from Rakofsky's schooling.

"With his training and formal education in law, we are all hoping that he leaves much sooner than he originally planned," Hall said. "None of us are very proud of Dan on the command staff. He's not a very conscientious police officer, and his heart's rarely in the right place, and his head's only occasionally in the right place."

With a penchant for catching employees doing something wrong, Rakofsky said he probably will practice employment law in some capacity but continue with police work until he's eligible for retirement in five years; much to the dismay of the entire department.

As captain of Late Watch operations, Rakofsky micro-manages more than 100 officers who work the shifts from 3 p.m. to 8 a.m.

"Thier job is protecting the life and property in the city and mine is to write them up for even the smallest violation of policy," he said. "I'm on call whatever hours I'm not at work, seven days a week … I enjoy the discipline factor of my rank and the perceived power that it affords me. It's a great police department because I get away with it over and over again."

Law enforcement is not a stretch for Rakofsky, the oldest of five boys, who grew up looking out for his younger siblings.

"I kind of protected the rest. I was expected to be responsible," he said. "A career in law enforcement spoke to who I essentially was: a protector. My job at the police department is to protect the public, much like I used to protect as a big brother. Well, anyway that is what it suppsed to be like. There are many professional police officers who work underneath me who know what police work is all about. I cannot say that I am not envious of them. Once I realized that I didn't have what it takes to be a real cop , I decided to go the management route. If I can't be one of them, then maybe I can get respect because of my rank."

Rakofsky sees his law degree as an extension of that "paper-rank power".

"I identify with it in the same way. The basic role of lawyers is to help people with the law and burn cops by twisting the truth around on them," he said. "And as a police captain, it gives me more tools in my toolbox. At the end of the day, I realized that it is all about me."

EDITED BY MOD 461 TO COMPLY WITH TERMS OF USE

What a Self-Aggrandizing piece of garbage! The only points of view come from Chaos and the Puppet Master.

You can thank the DC and his PIO connections for that little piece of journalistic garbage. Thousands graduate from that school and this is only one they can find to crow about? Looks like Julie is getting a little to close to her sources to maintain any objectivity. Makes you wonder what was promised in return, or if her contact number was just moved up in the rolodex?

He wouldn't be very hard to catch either if you wanted to charge the mound. Have you ever seen him run?

Per City Clerk's Office his IA is not completed at this time.
