10 fired and anonymous complaints (article in Press Gazette)
I have no problem with getting rid of the bad apples. The problem I have is the anonymous complaints. I encourage every deputy to read FSS 112.523, officer bill of rights. This law is there to protect you and what is required of the department investigating you; to include the complainants name, witness statements, video, gps or anything material that can be used against you before you are questioned. Anonymous complaints are not the way this works. Furthermore, FDLE does not do internal investigations for an agency. FDLE merely holds quarterly hearings to determine if the officers certification will be maintained, revoked, suspended, etc. after the agency reports any sustained findings on the CJSTC form.

The whole article is a joke. A complaint was placed against the Chief Deputy about a woman friend leaving the scene of an accident with injury (felony for you that dont understand) she spent the day at his farm and later spent the night at one of his residence. But all was found was Jim Spencer is a good guy. This article is nothing but damage control because this is comming out stay tuned.
