    You Sir, or more likely, MAAM, are an idiot. Firstly, we have never had an officer accused of child molestation. But yeah, being that we will investigate every officer, for any complaint, anonymous, online, a letter, smoke signals, and whether they have done wrong or not, they will be punished to the nth degree, you better believe an officer accused of child molestation would be in deep doodoo. I lost track of how many officers we have fired for stupid shit. They get their jobs back because they have usually done nothing wrong other than cause the queen to have to take the time to fire them.

    And as far as your K9 guy, our last K9 trainer, yeah, last, we haven't had one in many years, was thrown out of the K9 unit for merely suggesting that it would be appropriate if he was able to work on the same nights as the new K9 handlers, so that he could train them. The last patrol captain didn't like him having an idea, and decided we didn't need a seasoned K9 trainer in a unit full of brand new handlers. DO you think the DC or Chief stepped in? Most would say yes, but no. And our K9 unit has suffered. The trainer, well, he is now a shell of what he was, and has lost his way also.

    You sir or more likely, MAAM, are not very informed. First off, we have never had an officer or Upper brass be accused of child molestation. But the fact that we investigate officers for not smiling at the desk, or not seeming interested in helping, or saying a mildly bad word, or 2 officers talking to each other while sitting on a search warrant for 4 hours, or any other myriad of silly things, do you really not think we would investigate a cop for impregnating a teenager? And guess what, always guilty. We have fired officers for the tiniest things over the last 5 years. They all get their jobs back with back pay, but, hell yeah, we fire them. Who has the SSO fired. A guy who only stole about 60k from an elderly woman, and then tried to literally, F'ing kill her. Murder an elderly lady, so go back to your SSO site, and stop whining on ours.


    And we have a F'd up K9 unit also. We lost our trainer years back, because he told the captain that he should be working on the nights that the brand new K9 handlers work. The Captain was so offended by that, that he decided we don't need a K9 trainer. Threw him out of the unit. Talk about a whistleblower violation. And yes, our unit has suffered without a trainer for years. And the former trainer is a shell of what he was. Did the DC or COP step in and stop the Captain from making this mistake? Nope. She sucks the life out of the agency. There is no place that is in more of a state of chaos as SPD.

    You're comparing apples and oranges.

    Please click here and re-read how the Sarasota Sheriff's Office, under Sheriff Tom Knight and Colonel Kurt Hoffman, is buried in controversies involving unethical and criminal behaviors -- and remains so under their leadership [sic] -- and links to newspaper articles are provided as proof. You are blessed to work for Chief DiPino because she has cleaned up SPD's reputation. Count your blessings that you do not work for an unethical leader.

    Next question.

    Stop posting that kind of asinine nonsense because it makes us look like certified idiots in the public square.

    You can't make a cogent argument to support your hyperbole, so you hurl insults. The fact remains that SPD is a great place to work, even if your "personal emotional needs" are not met. SPD cannot help you with that particular issue.

    It's called "street justice"

    You're welcome. In the old days, it was called "street justice" when officers beat-up deserving criminals. However, with the advent of portable videos and phone cameras, street justice is no longer enforced, tolerated or accepted ----- because it is actually illegal for officers to batter criminals without just cause or due process. Technology has its pros and cons. You can ask Sheriff Tom Knight how he used to take people around the back of the building and…. Ask him yourself. He admitted it to deputies, but he may now admit it to you.

    She cleaned up the city. What a joke. Is that why I've seen a recent photo of her wearing, what a thought was, a dsm ribbon......If so, what is it for, and who nominated her for it?
