Sheriff Should be Fired

The Sheriff did worse running a Criminal History for his cousin and then Hiring Bushong back to conceal it from coming out in a Civil Service Hearing. I guess he is just above the law and our rules and regulations. :lol:

Two records clerks at the Fort Myers Police Department fired for misuse of data

Two records clerks at the Fort Myers Police Department have been fired after they reportedly misused a classified search database to look up the backgrounds for, among others, potential boyfriends for one.

Carol Bass and Helen Lehman were both fired last month following an investigation that began in March.

According to the professional compliance internal investigation, conducted by Lt. Michael Maurer, a records supervisor was notified by one of his employees that Bass was misusing D.A.V.I.D. — the Driver and Vehicle Information Database software — inappropriately.

A log of Bass’s use of the system was pulled, and it was found that she had a “large amount of inquiries,” some even made on her day off.

Other records clerks told Maurer Bass had joined a telephone dating service. When she would receive inquiries, she would access D.A.V.I.D. and pull the personal information and photographs of those who had responded to her tele-mates messages.

During the course of the investigation, it was learned that Lehman also had accessed the D.A.V.I.D. system. Lehman said she did so for Bass, who was going on a blind date.

“For her safety, she wanted Carol to see who she would be meeting,” Maurer wrote.
Lehman also ran the identity of the girlfriend of one of Bass’s dates because she was worried the girlfriend might show up during the date. Lehman further said she sometimes looked up co-workers to see their driver’s license pictures and also relatives.

When questioned later, Bass told Maurer, “I haven’t dated for 20 years, and all this stuff is new to me and I thought well, this might be a way to get information before I make a move.”

Both women were terminated May 21.

Bass had been employed since January 2006 and made $12.97 an hour, and Lehman since August 2000 and made $13.19 an hour.

Chief Doug Baker issued the following written statement regarding the terminations:
“Our purpose is to provide the most effective and efficient law enforcement services in Florida. The investigations are thorough, transparent and fair. As always we welcome the media to review completed investigations by our Professional Standards Bureau. However we will not be participating in interviews to avoid any further embarrassment to the employees involved.”

Maybe someone should drop a dime to F.D.L.E.

According to the Sheriff's statement when he hired Bushong back, someone already made a complaint and nothing is being done.

Also in the newly updated policy, supervisors will have to approve NCIC searches, and civilian employees will be forbidden access to DAVID unless given prior consent from his or her bureau commander. Additionally, e-mail use is now restricted solely to exchanges that are directly work-related.

NCIC is the system Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott admitted to asking his employees to use to pull information for his first cousin, who was seeking a background check on a potential employee. On Friday, Mike Morrison, spokesman for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, said his office has received no complaint about Scott's use of the system, and is not investigating.

Who cares??? Is Bushong affecting YOU? Is he taking money out of YOUR pocket? Why don't you and everbody else just worry about what YOU are doing and let Bushong worry about what Bushong is doing? That's the problem here. Too many people are worried about what everyone else is doing.

people should care, because he is still a superviosor who treats people like dirt. he doesnt care about the troups he only cares about himself. and he would take the money out of someone elses pocket to save his own butt, he is a back stabber, so dont kid yourself, oh, but then, it is probably you writing that right Lee, cuz you dont have very many fans right now. :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :evil:

If you don't like nosey people in your business then your in the wrong line of work. You wanted to be a cop...welcome to the reality of what it's really like.

Here it is the reality, not everywhere. Up north people knew how to stay out of each other's business. If it doesn't affect you, you shouldn't worry about it. This isn't the ladies sewing circle or a tupperware party, it's police work. if your too much of a little b*tch to mind your own business, maybe YOU are in the wrong line of work. Cowboy up, my friend, cowboy up.

Always "up north", if your such a fan of the way they do things "up north", foxtrot oscar back.

Sorry Jethro, someone has to stay down here and teach you how to be cop and to keep you from impregnating your sisters.
