Re: Laurie Van Dusen To Command Palm Beach Gardens PD?
Van Dusen is part of the second wave. If chosen she will inherit a position formerly held by one five lieutenants ( over 100 years of experience) that were told they were out of work Sept. 30 2010. No reason given. they can compete in a "competitive " process with the chief's cronies, to include the city manager's son in law. Can anyone see where this is going? She may not want to be a part of the lawsuits and arbitration process. Spread the word especially to LVD so she knows what she is getting into. These lieutenants that have helped make this department what it is, have been shown no respect or courtesy and are not going quietly into that dark night. Wonder if this chief would do this to his own cop son?

Re: Laurie Van Dusen To Command Palm Beach Gardens PD?
Well at least at PBGPD she will not be expected to do too much and probably run circles around that 'Mayberry' type agency and the cops too their nothing like WPBPD. She will have more experience than the chief there and with her controlling ass drive him and every cop on down NUTS! Even show them how to bug NASA and their rocket scientits!
JUST HAPPY SHE FINALLY LEFT WPBPD GOOD RIDDENCE L V D! GOOD LUCK GARDENS your in for a RUDE AWAKENING!

Re: Laurie Van Dusen To Command Palm Beach Gardens PD?
As people have heard there is a huge shake up at PBG PD. The big boss seems to be playing out his well waited revenge on the Lieutenants. Some deserved it but most did not. This chief likes to hold grudges and doesn't forget when you have done him wrong. Unfortunately we all are going to have to suffer through this "Re-organization."
One of the sad facts is that the entire command staff excluding one Lieutenant is in the drop so they only have 5 years or less left. So you do the math. In 5 years there would have been no one there higher than the rank of Lieutenant that has any command staff experience. There are plenty of people in the waiting to move up but this is not going to happen any more as was done in the past. So much for succession planning.... As of October 1, 2010 there will be no more lieutenants, captains, or majors. There will be 4 commanders and two assistant chiefs. Where before there was a lieutenant on each shift, there will now be three sergeants to run each shift. There will not be a senior sergeant or someone with the final authority to make a decision and if you need someone you can call a commander who will have up to 14 sergeants reporting to him (span of control issue?).
Next is the issue of these commanders and the "competitive" process. I heard Van Dusen (WPB PD), Major Jenkins (PBSO), the city manager's relative, as well as 15+ other applicants have trown in their applications. We are all bracing and getting the KY ready for this enjoyable experience. The morale is low and this was a great way to kick a man while he's down. I guess we should all be happy to have a job.
That's my rant....
