New Chief in Over Her Head Already!

[Unregistered]

Chief, Its time for you to go. Before you screw this place up so badly that it will never be righted. You have embarrassed the city, the agency, the uniform, and all of the men and women who wear the uniform enough. Not to mention how badly you have embarrassed yourself. Look at how ridiculous you look in your silly blue blazer. Look at this picture that is floating around facebook, all over the place, of your hooker boots, and red skirt. You cant see how silly you look? You are a disgrace. You know nothing about leadership, law enforcement, Sarasota, or your own people. You have not tried to learn about Sarasota, or our officers. The men and women at SPD have seen how much of a fraud you are since day 1. But, with your latest screw up, the whole city sees it. They have turned against you and sided with the officers. They care more about the officers than you do. This seems like another great time to use you analogy comparing all of us to pigs in mud, and you are just trying to hose us off, but we like to roll in the mud. Yes, she said it, in one of the observers. If you don't believe it, google it and you will see.

Take Stiff with you when you leave please. He is almost as bad.

stiff is as bad. he is another anti social, nasty person who simply hates others. plain as that. thats why she loves him and he likes her so much. they are of like minds. they are closed minded, untrusting, and dont give a damn about the actually people here at spd. Use them up and spit them out. I am hoping that the next chief sees this and realizes there Are some stellar lieutenants here who lead the right way and care about the ppl under them and would make great captains.

Dear PBA,
Seems like the community is taking the side of the officers due to this stupid decision the chief has made to do away 2 man zones. Seems like now would be a great time to expose the public to the rest of her silly decisions she has made since she has been the chief.

This woman is gonna get someone killed.

Our chief is like one of those offenders who regularly drive drunk but never get caught. Yet. In her mind since she has never been caught everything she does is ok. After all, a lot of people get hurt in crashes who haven't even had a drink. Our command staff is like her family who say "I've never seen her drive drunk and she hasn't gotten any tickets." The City Manager is like her dad who will never do the right thing and do an intervention, because avoidance always works in the short term. The City Commission is like her neighbors who say "I've never personally seen her do anything wrong." The media is like her friends who say "We have never seen her drive."

Even when someone gets hurt, and they will, because of her glaring incompetence she and they will never admit it. If she were to hit a tree while DUI: "Why was it planted in the median?"
If she killed a juvenile crossing the street in daylight she would say "He was wearing dark clothes and where were his parents?"

If she does ever get caught she and her supporters will drop the gender card in a heart beat. It is the last desperate defense

When public safety and officer safety are intentionally compromised its is tragic. Like the drunk driver, she is going to hurt someone.

The best analogy I have heard yet. Totally dead on. You should hear the thugs talking on the street about our not having 2 man cars. Even some of them are saying its a bad idea and that the really bad guys are just overjoyed. But in dipinos defense, she has never seen newtown at night so how would she know?

What can be said for new recruits joining SPD? Benefits? Cons? Pros? FTO process? Academy?

Join. Keep your head low. Stay out of internal and external politics. Enjoy time off and vacation. Collect paycheck. Retire. Collection pension for life. SPD is a good police department. Much fewer politics than the Sarasota Sheriff's Office. Count your blessings while you have them.

Thank you. How is the take home car process after FTO? And the off duties/OT?
