West District Commander

[Unregistered]

With all seriousness, can anyone really say that they have been supervised by Rowe? I understand he was in IA supervising himself, but is there anyone that knows anything about his supervisory abilities? Has he even been in a leadership capacity?

He is better than the new east commander. That guy is clueless. He was obviously picked because sw thinks he will bring in votes. If that's not the case why not NR or NE or even MW.

Define "leadership" in your own concept of it. You have the mentality that it should take 5 years to get a stripe or 20 to get a bar. What leadership capacity do you have to challenge him? None.

With all seriousness, can anyone really beleive you aren't sounding like someone who is an outsider dropping a planted question some weak pre-election "example of controversy" or you simply have your head up your ass. Or both. Hopefully someone will take the bait and begin a conversation on leadership where you'll hope to steer the conversation to "the other guy who is going to bring real learship and real leaders" If the department had a special group of explorers "Whidden Youth" and swore an oath of allegience to Steve above anything, I'd sponsor a summer camp and make my kids and anyone elses go. Tommorrow is the future of Hendry and the future next 4 years belongs to Sheriff Whidden! I swear before I pass on to the next life I'll see his name forever glorified for the changes and progress his leadership has bought to the county and agency

The current mean average of HCSO deputies does not allow you to follow a proven method of building leadership. I understand that ranks need to be filled, rather than deflecting the question I wanted to legitimately see if anyone has been supervised by this guy.

Did you work hard at formulating "the current mean average of HCSO deputies" - folks this sounds like a weak drive by attempt at pre-electioneering "controversy" "so instead of deflecting the question" "I wanted to legitimately see if anyone has been supervised by this guy" - go ask your wife or teenager to proofread your babble before you post. Did you cram some sort of boost your vocabulary book before getting loose on the keyboard and shit just poured out. God help the people who live under the same roof with you and depend on you idiot

Look, this should be clear. The way people get promoted at HCSO is political payback or payback for loyalty to the High Sheriff. D.W. is the clearest example of this. They just promoted him over another LT. that clearly has more education, training, experience, and leadership capability than he does. They both have a record with the State Attorneys office of not being trustworthy, but one has a tie to the High Sheriff and the other does not.

Let’s break this down. Capt. S.H. really, what does she have to offer. The office has lost more personal just because of her than for any other reason. She is only in place because of political ties. Capt. S.R. has been there from the beginning was never able to rise until Chief removed the people in his way, or they became fed up with the corruption and moved on to run there own agency. Capt. D.W. has risen from the rank of Deputy to the Rank of a Capt. in under a year. The highest rank he has ever held was as an L.T. for the Clewiston Police Department. He has no real training or background to support his meteoric rise other than a long mediocre career working in narcotics units where we now know he was not the most honest law enforcement officer. https://www.news-press.com/story/new...ct/3141303002/ LT. M.S. he has never done anything of importance and was simply someone they could have filled a spot who was loyal to SW. Lt. M.F. is worthless to this day and had done things that in any other agency would have been fired but yet he stays in place and takes up a salary for doing nothing. LT. B.R. well he did survive for a short time in a real agency, but it almost got him criminally charged. https://www.abc-7.com/story/12814794/story Other than that what is his background what makes him a good administrator? LT. M.B. if this is not political what is. He ran for Sherriff against S.W. during this time all his affairs came out and he lost his marriage and family. This did not change his playboy ways, but he has just tried to live off the radar, not doing so well because we just had a narcotic informant state that he hired her for sex while working for Clewiston Police Department. Some sources state that was the reason he left C.P.D. because the new administration was not going to tolerate that behavior. and now S.W. is giving him the rains of the east district. LT. M.R. by far the most qualified administrator in the hole agency on paper, but yet still has a concerning past, https://www.theledger.com/news/20170...letter-in-2011. Had he had dirt on S.W. his past would not matter and he would have taken Capt. S.H. or the Chief’s Job. One may ask why does the Chief allow this, or does he have a choice. He seems to be the one lone administrator in the agency that does not have a questionable past and no long-term ties to the S.W. Could his ability to stay in place have something to do with his relationship with S.H.?

Look, this should be clear to anyone bored enough to read your rambling. Are you a pillhead or do you just babble like one from the alcoholism.

"LT. M.R. by far the most qualified administrator in the hole agency on paper" hole?
"and now S.W. is giving him the rains of the east district." rains?
"or they became fed up with the corruption and moved on to run there own agency." there?

and people think removing the literacy test to vote was an advancement.

lets give a round of applause to the weak attempt at preelection "controversy conversation"

How understanding of you to understand something that does not involve you. Why don't you simply go ask him yourself and get the answer right from the person you are asking a forum about. Does this go against your own "proven method"?
Excellent advice to get a proof reader. Maybe getting supervised computer time to keep you from spouting more stupid inane bs
