Florida Cabinet- Open up the application process for Commissioner of FDLE

[Unregistered]

At the beginning of every year, upper level command (Commissionerand both Assistant Commissioners) are asked to submit a letter of resignation. The governor then has the option to accept or reject the letters. If the letters are rejected, the current command staff remains in place. If the letters are accepted, the governor ( incumbent or newly elected) can appoint a new commissioner who must be confirmed by the senate. That’s how former Commissioner Bailey lost his position.

At least Jerry Bailey had actually been a real cop.

Yes he was.

Bailey knew how to run an Agency as a true leader and knew that individuals were valued in the organization no matter what. He did not feed egos, jump into ruining lives of employees (and their families) because of petty B.S., and held strong on integrity which is why some didn't like him. Unlike R.S., Bailey had earned the position due to qualifications and not being a friend of someone in power.

But this really isn't about justifying Bailey as much as it is doing the right thing now that the Gov that gave the appointment without an application process is out and so should those that got positions that shouldn't have.

Bailey F-ed over so many folks and listen to losers like Madden, Perez, and others to kill off the rank and file....I am no fan of RS, but come on....EI under both leadership goes into all I/A's with the accused either being liked by the command or not. This determines the outcome. If you are liked, they limit the scope to only the complaint and sweep it under the rug (Brutnel)....If you are not in the inner circle, its a fishing expedition where anything and everything is fair game.

Hmmmm are you overlooking the mass of FDLE Supervisors and above that have been disciplined for mistreatment of employees? Would you like a snaky cake? All under R.S. And if you are really paying attention, this is only the ones they HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT or didn't like... there are so many more examples of mistreatment and targeting that it's beyond alarming and so many more that R.S. just let happen or ignored. He has disrespected PBA and nerfed them beyond having a representative voice so he could run over people. Not even Bailey did that.

What about minority promotions and treatment? And who has R.S. promoted? The difference between Madden and R.S.'s promotions is at least Madden was an ass to your face and didn't hide behind closed doors to mistreat.

Regardless of the agency, the benefit of bringing in someone from the outside is that there are no long term relationships to benefit or work to the detriment of legacy employees. Everyone has a clean slate.

Your are partially correct.....EI/Command goes into I/A investigations with a presumption of guilt and a course for crisis control. Look at all the past investigations and how long it took to remedy......

When R.S. took the helm it was all about revenge for those he wanted to put in their place... just like an immature, unworthy leader would do. Couple that with also wanting to gain the respect of the supervisors, SAC's, ASAC's, and the like he just went along with whatever they wanted to do, so those people could also run over anyone they wanted and he'd just sit back and let them... dissing PBA and just sitting back and feeling good about his ridiculous appointment by his buddy Rick Scott.

If you look at how he's promoted people and ran things and treated personnel it doesn't take long to realize he is/was the worse leader FDLE has ever had.

Folks who get their butts kicked in high school don't always make good leaders.
