So shorty sheriff visited the jail. Well kinda, he didnt go inside the jail. He went as far as the mustard room. Guess he didnt come in cause hes not certified or scared. The jail admin told us it was mandatory for us to stay and listen to him speak. It was scheduled for 430 he didnt enter till 445 with his entourage. There was a podium for him but he didn't stand behind it. Because it was obviously to tall for him. He started by saying we were family and this was not a political speech. Which both are bold face lies. He ranted on for about 30 minutes. All the while not saying anything of substance. Not sure if just doesnt know any real facts. Or if just thinks were all memorized by his white shirt gold stars and way too many hash marks. Pretty disappointing that this guy and his entourage cant work a room of their own people. Talking to people after the speech the consensus was that he bombed. We were all quite embarrassed to have this guy as our sheriff. The entourage didnt do any better talking about the recession and law enforcement the whole time. Some public speaking tips for you guys and stone faced commander. Dont talk to your audience like there not intelligent. This is our career not a hobby. We are invested in the agency. Most of us have been here longer then you. Don't talk so much about law enforcement to an entire room of Correctional Deputies and clerks. Dont make us wait for you like your a celebrity greet us coming in like a person. Speak in truths and facts. Dont tell us your doing your best. It sounds like a cop out.
