Emabrasing Chief

[Unregistered]

I attended a swearing in ceremony for a friend for the USF Police department and I completely astonished. The chief Chris Daniels was so unprepared and so unprofessional. He completely ruined the occasion and is obliviously not a leader. Even the officers in attendance even had this look on their face that said "shut up"!!!!

If your judgement pertaining leader is as bad as your grammar, than how can we take you seriously. Go back to first grade and learn to write before posting about leadership and professionalism please...

It was very embarrassing for all of us but we're used to it.

Stop the BS posting. There were typos in all of those posts. You were a person attending the ceremony that is unhappy. Chief Daniel is the best Chief this agency has ever had, by far. The break down is in his command staff and is about poor leadership that the ranks feel and see, don't blame it on him.

That's your definition of a leader? Conducts a good swearing in ceremony? Who the **** are you to judge him? Mind your business asshole.

We hired 3 know it all's who think they are the Shyt and a fresh out of the Academy recruit.

Our new newbies and their upset friends should STFU. We're not impressed.

Didn't like your Ceremony .....quit. You got back, what you deserved.

[Unregistered]

You're absolutely right. At least that poor kid is getting away from the other 3. He'll do well with the squad he's going to. Then again, too bad the other three didn't go to that squad lol. They'd get fixed there too.

[Unregistered]

Please don't post bad things about the Chief here. No other Chief in the history of this department has ever tried to do anything for the lower pay the officers have received here compared to the surrounding agencies. He has seen we have gotten great pay raises to compete. It is rally a shame the original poster even made that post. We are an agency that is up and coming, be proud to work here.

[Unregistered]

You idiots that post these negative things on here about not being real cops ( the St. Pete officers that post here and think they are guaranteed the same pay raises and benefits as working at the Tampa main campus, or just anonymous posters/harassers posting), don't realize without the Chief's efforts on the nice pay raises, you would be retiring on about $35K a year after a long career worked here. Be happy about your job.

Hey we can use our raises to buy that pool table for sale, in the email, sent to an entire law enforcement agency.

Did your "friend" tell you how they, as brand new officers walked around here thinking their s##t didn't stink and pissed off almost everyone who came in contact with them?

Your friend should thank the Chief for actually allowing them to get as far as a swearing in ceremony.

Really? You are either very young here, or a liar. We had a chief here who got raises for us almost every year he was here, his name was Longo. PBA liked him big. He also got us the take home cars, tons of equipment, and started TRT. Nobody before Longo tried to get us anything, and Withrow who was just given the job after him did nothing either. Daniel might be good at getting raises for us, but his mentor did it first so give credit where it is due. Fair is fair.

We all know who wrote this... how’s retirement DC

[Unregistered]

Longo did get us take home cars, but he was a very self serving Chief and out for himself. He was one of the worst leaders that I have ever worked for. I would like to know the stats of the place he is working at now, and how many people have been fired or put under an investigation of some type. He was a power hungry boy scout. Withrow was handed the job and was worthless, he was just trying to get his time in to retire. Johnson was the same, and even worse about taking care of the officers. He found pride in returning money back to the University and sure as heck wouldn't try to give the worker a pay raise, just to make himself look good to the university as a good leader. You officers would be retiring on $35K a year if it wasn't for Chief Daniel. One benefit Daniel does have above the other Chief's is a VP that supports cops. None of the other VP's in the history of this university has ever done. We are just now finding out how important police are on school campuses for safety and security. Things are on the up and up for an officer working this job today. Be happy and thankful about your career here.

[Unregistered]

The Chiefs prior to Daniel and Longo were just puppets on a string who catered to the whims of administrative PHD's who didn't have a clue or much of a concern about Law Enforcement. Things started changing from a security mentality to a law enforcement mentality once Longo arrived. No matter what your opinion of him is or was, he made some positive changes in the right direction. Last I checked, he is a police chief up north. Despite his personality and leadership shortcomings, he has a way of finding success around every corner.

Tom is the Assistant Chief (Policy and Planning) at a different UPD; he was the interim Chief there when he left here.

What idiot officer was there and posted this? Really just unbelievable...

From what is being told, I thought it only right to bump this thread back up to the top.

[Unregistered]

What happened?

[Unregistered]

Oh boy..What now??

[Unregistered]

"We fight as one"

"We fight as one"

That was the brainchild of the Sheriff up in Pasco and I pretty certain it is trademarked!

[Unregistered]

Please tell me we aren't stealing Pasco's motto?

Probably not once the Board of Regents finds out there is a royalty fee to Sheriff Nocco involved!

[Unregistered]

This can't be real. We can't be this stupid. It's the adjoining County lol

[Unregistered]

No, the only one Nocco had trade marked was, "Oh, and ya, don't forget the sunblock!" The Chief is good on this one.

[Unregistered]

So is this actually a thing or what?

Let’s just be happy that command is finally cleaning up patrol by sending those 3 to CORE. Two of the three officers were a complete poison to patrol officers.

Now let’s just hope they don’t send that one to anymore classes so he can stop embarrassing us.

I have to concur with this! I unfortunately have had the privilege to join this loser in class and it is truly embarrassing to the point where I have had other officers from other agencies come up to me asking if we hire retards.

[Unregistered]

Let's not give command credit for doing anything. They took the only ones stupid enough to put in for it.

[Unregistered]

Poison? I say again poison. Who was the poison ? Enlighten us please.

How can a probationary loudmouth get a non patrol assignment this soon?

Command staff is really showing their
lack of proper judgement once again.

Easy, you didn't apply and she is more qualified then most in this agnecy for the assignment. The agency will continue to move forward with our without you.

Qualified to do what? They don't do anything.

[Unregistered]

No other officer in the history of usfpd has made that many arrests........

[Unregistered]

That's right! Because that's never happened here before. Here's an idea. How about you new people keep your ****ing mouths shut? Like we used to do in this business. Pay your dues at your new department regardless of where you came from.

[Unregistered]

Get use to it working here. You can put years on the job here , but if they hire the right loud mouth aggressive type A personality they like and can deal with, they will move them up quick. Stick with it kid, stick with it. Don't give up, and put a little Vaseline in your butt, you will need it and move on to the next opportunity on the job here for you.

Look guys, no mater what unit you go to, you will all be doing the same job, within the same square mile. Freeking jokes, go get a real cop job, so you can ***** about real cop issues.

[Unregistered]

Longo? Really? He was about the worst unethical Chief/leader I have ever worked for. He was out for himself and who could serve him on his awards and stats. He didn't care for any worker here that could not advance his aggressive drive to get ahead. He did not give a shit about the average patrol person working here unless it benefitted him in some way. He held so many IA's on people to try to get rid of them, a very unethical leader and out for himself. I wonder where he is working now and how many IA's and people he has tried to ruin and get fired to get ahead in his career. Withrow wasn't worth a crap either from the beginning. He had everything handed to him by the previous Chiefs that set him up to advance on his job. Daniel is one of the better Chiefs this place has had in years and actually cares about the workers here and making sure they have a good involved career and seen that they have gotten decent pay raises. A lot of these post are just unbelievable.

[Unregistered]

Chris does not give a crap about us, but he knows that if he does not stem the blood-letting of people quitting all the time that it reflects poorly on him, so he throws money at us to stay. If he cared at all about us as officers and human beings he would immediately put an end to the unfettered harassment and micromanagement coming from his staff. He is the only one with the authority to actually do that and this proves that he could care less. Money is not everything, job satisfaction goes a long way. I would rather look forward to coming to work than deal with the ulcers for a few cents more an hour because, in reality, the pay difference does not cover the cost of what I spend on antacids. I mean, who among us does not chew them like candy?

[Unregistered]

We're up to two supervisors now who are slowly rotting from the inside out due to the constant second guessing and micromanagement.

It's not the dangers from criminals here , it's the scared, out of touch leadership.

Stress kills

[Unregistered]

These posts are so true. They encourage you to take supervision classes and have sent all the Sgt.'s to a big one, but what you learn in the class, you might as well throw out the window, because you know when you come back to work, this Admin. does just the opposite of what you were taught and the micromanagement will be back on. I have learned it is just for you to get the training class certificate for your training folder and showing that you attended the class.

[Unregistered]

I don't know about all that was said here, but I can tell you the only reason I haven't moved on, is the decent raises that the Chief gave us, plus a take home car... Good or not, I have looked at the benefits and pay offered by other surrounding agencies and I have stayed here. I haven't spent enough time here to experience a lot of what was posted. I do see the stress in the supervisors I work for. But at this point, not interested in getting promoted and dealing with that kind of stress on the job.

You're ****ing Chief appears to have the genetics of an old granny on a muffin commercial what the **** happened to him over the last 10 years he looks like a fat geriatric pedophile thought he was going to open up a funeral home looks like he fell on his ass in that endeavor I can see he and Marty in an oriental spa massage room massaging each other with aromatic oils in touch each other's pubic fat pads

They have a supply of future wannabe supervisors who are Non confrontational, low experianced, "yes" men and women who will jump at the admins every nonsensical whim without question.
