1. There needs to be some sort of leadership/supervision development class when a person is promoted to each rank. They have these in the military and it teaches a person to supervise and look out for those that they are in charge of. This tends to give a supervisor a sense of responsibility for those they supervise, which in turn causes them to look out for them.
2. Some sort of a promotion system all the way to the top, not just Sgt. This way "they" cannot put in whom "they" want. Also no hiring from outside to fill positions of supervision. There is no reason to have to hire from outside, whatever that outside person was hired to do they learned how to do it, just as someone already in the department can learn to do it and better adapt it to our department because they know what we do, how we do it, and why.
3. Beter use of the chain of command by those at the top to pass down information that may help those at the bottom to better understand what is going on and why. There is nothing that goes on in this department that is top secret so quit treating us like it is.
4.Quit cutting officer positions to create new positions for brass. If those in Tally had ever done this job they would never cut officer positions to create brass positions, they would know how hard this job can be at times and would want us to do it correctly and safely with the proper man power needed. We literally cannot do our job properly do to not having enough man power. Traffic on I-75 has tripled or more since I started yet the number of officers to do the job has been cut more than in half.
5. No cross promotion between uniform and investigations. If you leave uniform to become part of investigations and decide you want to come back to uniform you should have to come back as an officer and climb again, and vice-versa.
6. If there are things going on that hurt morale then officers need to start speaking up instead of allowing it to go on, turning a blind eye solves nothing it's still going on. Officers need to ask questions of those in charge of them. Like why, who said, is there a memo on that, where is that in policy.
