Once you lose your integrity in this profession, you have lost everything. You may hang around for a few years and continue to cover lies with more lies, but eventually it will all come crashing down. At that point it doesn't matter how intelligent you are or what type of degree you have, it's over. There is too much at stake now for the truth not to come out. With the added responsibility placed upon certain people, it will be awful embarrassing for department heads when they finally see through the B.S. and realize they should have listened when employees spoke. Ask the S.A. How important he thinks integrity is in law enforcement.

The city manager is certainly a problem. The pay study has been completed for some time but has been shelved due to lack of funding. He refuses to consider raising taxes for capital improvements and to establish proper pay scales.

To the person who said JH is doing all he can, nothing is further from the truth. He has done nothing other than place his confidence in BD who has the biggest integrity issues among all those that work for the department. There have been many employees who have told JH about those issues, he refuses to listen and most importantly, he doesn't care. He has given up. When he first arrived, he was all business and stated he would never allow people to "suck up" to get ahead. Over time, he has fallen victim himself and has lost sight of those that actually do the work at the PD. He overlooks those with real experience and knowledge and instead thinks the sun rises and sets on the ass of a man who has no experience other than answering calls. He didn't write any field training manual, just like everything else, he "borrowed" the work from others and stuck a bow and his name on it. Its a shame, he allows him to play day shift interior designer while his "team" begs to be allowed to go out and do police work. He refuses to supervise his team because he refuses to work night shift. Its amazing that he actually convinced JH to replace the internal affairs office for a conference room. Having meetings to discuss how great he is is much more important. Oh, lets not forget that he then convinced him he knew something about accreditation (working so closely with Susan and Chucky) that he created himself a nice little office next to his buddy. I guess the JH never considered or thought it was odd that Dorman would have been working as an officer for 6 months when we became accredited? Oh well, go ahead and make him a captain and watch the remainder of the officers who have any time in leave in droves. The police department is collapsing around him while he and Dorman walk around with measuring sticks, label machines and paint brushes.

Just to name a few of the integrity issues over the years:
1. Told everyone he has a full soccer scholarship and was actually going to become a professional soccer player.
2. Told everyone his father owned Carnival Cruise lines.
3. Told everyone his cousin or uncle was the drummer for a popular rock band and that he owned his most famous drum set.
4. Told everyone he founded and wrote all of the drumming parts for his high school.
5. Told everyone he was asked to be an instructor for IPTM traffic reconstruction after passing the reconstructions school with a perfect score.
6. Told everyone Dave Clark routinely asked for his counsel on reconstruction projects.
7. Told everyone in a class that he designed and wrote the entire reconstruction and dui program at the police department-even though reynolds and rhoden spent months doing that.
8. Told everyone he was the dui leader in the entire state having made 6 dui arrests in one night.
9. Told many that he has worked undercover, worked as a narcotics officer, worked as a detective.
10. Told a shift that he had purchasing power granted to him by JH and that he purchased items for a shift.
11. Told JH he worked closely with Chuck and Susan on accreditation.
12. Told many he has done hundreds of traffic reconstructions when in fact he has never done 1 to completion (including scale diagrams and math)
13. "Borrowed" training manuals from other departments, then claimed he created them.
14. "Borrowed" entire training power points from other instructors and agencies and claimed they were his.
15. Has told other agency staff that he is in third command at the police department and that he and JH routinely discuss all of the "important issues" at the police department.
16. Told many that he was asked to go to Internal Affairs school by JH but turned it down.
17. Told many that he had earned duel bachelor degrees in Business management and Public admin and that he was currently enrolled in a Masters Program.
18. Told many that JH asked him to attend CPM school because his many talents were being wasted in patrol.
19. Told many he is a pilot and has the hours to work fior an airline but has no interest.
20. Is an avid skydiver
21. Can pilot a helicopter.
22. Runs the entire Dixie Youth baseball program.

Thats a few I can think of.....there are hundreds of others...as anyone who has worked with him for any length of time can tell you. He lies in everyday conversation.......but hey, he can swing a mean paintbrush mister..that much i'll give him.

Is there any truth to the rumors that JH has been actively seeking employment elsewhere? If that is true, what can we do to help?

Ask dorman, and I'm sure he knows and will tell you the truth.

I'm still trying to figure out who the educated genius was who assigned a sworn position to decorate the station and NOT go out on the road and do any actual police work. Way to supervise your unit there commander.

I think the briefing room looks 100% better than it did and someone had to handle that so I have no problems with that.

The issue I have is that bd "inflates" everything he does. Not only did he paint the wall, he first grew the tree, chopped down the tree, shaped and sanded the wood, THEN built the wall. He then created the chemical compounds necessary to create the paint and color codes, THEN made and tinted the paint in his garage.......and of course he built the garage.

I agree the briefing room looks great. Did we really need a sworn position to accomplish this feat? Gosh forbid a corporal who is supposed to be in charge of a three man unit participates and actually does something related to actual police work. If JH wants the support of his people, he may want to think twice about these type of decisions which do nothing but chip away at morale. How bout step up and tell him to get out of the station and DO SOMETHING RELATED TO THE UNIFORM YOU WEAR TO WORK EACH day!!!! Kick him out of your office and tell him to hit the road.

I overheard that JH was looking into BD and his reputation of lying. This is part of the reason JH was trying so hard to track down Erik. It's been rumored that JH has also reached out to Chucky and Sue about BD's involvement(or lack there of) with accreditation. BD and his ridiculous lies will be found out soon enough. I think it's time we call bulls#%* to BD's face when he is in the middle of his lies. There are far too many of us working hard to stay afloat while he sits around playing Martha Stewart. I can only hope that JH comes out of his hole in time to figure this mess out before the ship starts sinking. We all know he ain't going down with it. Kudos to those men and a woman or 2 that are actually working hard for the citizens of Bartow. I'm hanging on for my 20.

I've heard JH is looking for a move and another job; if anyone has extra boxes laying around please do your part and stack them in the roll call room.
