sppd black LT's skim by their termination

ST. PETERSBURG — Three police lieutenants falsified records about where they were during work hours, according to the St. Petersburg Police Department — a severe violation of ethics for three leaders on the agency’s day shift.
The lieutenants claimed work time even when they were outside their assigned work areas and when they were driving to and from their homes, according to the department.
Lt. Dennis Bolender, in District I, retired before an internal review board heard his case, officials said. He had been with the agency since November 1986 and became a lieutenant in 2005.
Lt. Cleven Wyatt, in District II, and Lt. Cynthia Davis, in District III, will be demoted two ranks to the position of officer, the department said. Wyatt joined the department in October 1987. He has been a lieutenant since 2006. Davis joined the department in June 1996 and was promoted to lieutenant in 2016.
The internal investigation began after someone tipped the agency’s Office of Professional Standards in January. The tipster said the three lieutenants were not correctly checking into shifts. Reviewers examined data from the department’s payroll, laptop positioning and vehicle tracking systems. They also looked at paper check-in and check-off sheets as well as the entry swipe card system at the department.
The paper records dated from Aug. 1, 2017, through January 28 of this year. The electronic records only went back six months.
"As a lieutenant ... they are responsible for overseeing most day-to-day operational aspects of the police department and ensuring the safety of the city by effectively supervising all personnel under their command while on-duty," the agency said in a news release.

St. Petersburg police officer fired for insubordination, falsification
Times staff
Published: February 24, 2017
A St. Petersburg police officer was fired Thursday for repeatedly not following his supervisor's orders and falsifying where he was while on the clock.
A command review board found cause to terminate Richard Miranda, 44, following a complaint made a year ago by his sergeant.
In March 2016, according to police, Miranda and his squad were told by his acting sergeant to check in at 8 p.m., but Miranda checked in at 7 p.m. because he had to take his cruiser for maintenance, he told his supervisor. It was later discovered that Miranda did not take his cruiser in for maintenance until a month later.
Police said Miranda was previously told by his supervisor to not adjust his hours unless he had prior permission from a supervisor and to text or call his sergeant in the event he needed to report he was sick.
Miranda's sergeant took her concerns to the police department's Office of Professional Standards where she was asked to make a formal complaint on May 5. Miranda went on worker's compensation leave on May 19 and came back to work on Nov. 8.
St. Petersburg Police spokeswoman Yolanda Fernandez said Miranda's termination was verbal and Miranda was not presented with a termination letter Thursday.
Miranda was hired in December 2006 and sworn in September 2007.

Call it what it is, and nothing else. The Law Enforcement agency uses racist unwritten policies in it's day to day operations. The department is run by a black criminal enterprise and abuses those employees who are not black on a daily basis, while promoting and protecting black friends, family, and criminal associates to the point of helping them avoid discipline in the department, and even helping them sell narcotics and tamper with criminal investigations to the extent that guilty parties can avoid arrest and/or prosecution. SPPD is a racist criminal enterprise, period.
