Statement: Timoney On CBS4 Investigation
Angel Calzadilla, Executive Assistant to Miami police chief John Timoney, sent the following e-mail to CBS4 management Monday afternoon in response to the CBS4 News report on the chief's free use of a luxury SUV. This is the unedited text of that e-mail, in it's entirety.


Chief John Timoney has been a customer of Lexus of Kendall for four and a half years. He has leased a vehicle from Lexus for the past five and a half years.

Although Chief Timoney does not feel that a violation exists (as alleged by WFOR), he has requested his legal counsel to obtain an opinion from the Commission on Ethics as to whether the use of a demo ?Hybrid? vehicle, to be used in conjunction with his leased vehicle, from a dealership located outside the City of Miami, and having no business with the City, is considered a gift, and whether Commission on Ethics form 9 should have been completed.

In the event that the Commission determines that the use of the demo vehicle constitutes a gift, then the appropriate form will be completed and submitted.

Additionally, with regards to the allegation (again by WFOR) that a department policy has been violated, no such violation exists as the Chief clearly did not accept the demo hybrid vehicle for services rendered as an employee of the Miami Police Department.
?11.6.17.21 Accepting any fees, rewards, or gifts of any kind from any person for services rendered or pretended to be rendered as a member or civilian employee of the Police Department, without the consent of the Chief of Police.?

Bear in mind, that at most, this would be a failure to file a form, and in no way constitutes any legal wrongdoing.

What is your opinion of Chief Timoney's free use of a luxury car?


(CBS4) MIAMI Want to sound off? Click to share your opinion

Miami Police Chief John Timoney drives a very expensive car, but a CBS4 News investigation has revealed that his use of that luxury SUV valued at more than $50 thousand may be in violation of Florida law and his own department's policy.

CBS4?s Gary Nelson found that Miami?s top cop dives a luxury car provided to him free of charge by a Miami-Dade Lexus dealership, an arrangement Chief Timoney's spokesman first denied, telling CBS4 that the chief had paid for the car, but later acknowledged, admitting that he was getting a free ride.

CBS4 cameras recently spotted the chief driving his 4-wheel ride, a luxury Lexus SUV, which according to Florida motor vehicle records bears a dealer tag registered to the Lexus dealership.

Under motor vehicle laws, dealer tags may only be used on vehicles owned by the dealer, in inventory and for sale. State law says dealers may not accept payment for the use of a car bearing tags.

When CBS4 submitted a written inquiry about the Chief's Lexus, specifying the tag number as positive identification of the SUV, Miami Police Department spokesman Lt. William Schwartz denied the chief was getting the car for free.

?The Chief says he leases the Lexus. He pays for the car there isn't a story here,? Schwartz said.

But when CBS4 pointed out that under state law, the tag on the Chief's car could not be legally used on a leased car for which payment was being made, the story changed.

In a follow-up telephone interview, Schwartz said the chief has a car that he leases from Lexus. But the car you're talking about, the SUV, is a hybrid that the dealer is allowing him to use. He?s test-driving it. He?s thinking about buying one.

CBS4 has learned that the arrangement may be a test drive for the record books.

Sources within the Miami police department told CBS4 that Chief Timoney has been using this car for months and people at the dealership say it's been the Chief's to drive for even longer.

Three employees at Lexus of Kendall a sales associate, a sales consultant and a service technician confirmed Chief Timoney drives a dealership demo car and that he's been driving it for about a year.

At Lexus of Kendall, an SUV similar to the one Chief Timoney is driving has a sticker price of $53,186, which with a typical lease would cost about $750 a month.

Under Florida and Miami-Dade county ethics laws, Timoney is required to submit quarterly reports disclosing gifts, including goods or services, valued at more than a hundred dollars.

State and county records reveal Timoney has not reported his free use of the Lexus.

In a written response to a CBS4 News inquiry, the State Ethics Commission said, ?Our office has no record of any filings of (gift reports) by John F. Timoney.?

If Timoney has violated state ethics laws, he appears to have also violated his own department's policy against freebies.

The policy says: members and civilian employees shall not accept a gratuity, fee, loan or gift of property or services, from any person.

The Chief gets an $8,000 a year car allowance from the city. Through a spokesman, Timoney refused to detail how he's spending that money.

Chief Timoney, through a spokesman, had declined to agree to an interview, and said he would not answer questions about his free use of the luxury SUV, but Monday afternoon, his executive assistant sent an e-mail to CBS4 management.

Although Chief Timoney does not feel that a violation exists (as alleged by WFOR), he has requested his legal counsel to obtain an opinion from the Commission on Ethics as to whether the use of a demo ?Hybrid? vehicle, to be used in conjunction with his leased vehicle, from a dealership located outside the City of Miami, and having no business with the City, is considered a gift, and whether Commission on Ethics form 9 should have been completed, said the e-mail from Angel Calzadilla, executive assistant to Chief Timoney.

Executives at Lexus of Kendall declined to comment on the vehicle arrangement between the dealership and Chief Timoney

Let's be fair, Angelito said, I didn't hear him say it. He didn't lie, HE WASN'T THERE. And that's his job, to suck a??. And by this email, he is doing a wonderful job. When Johnny goes, Angelito goes to patrol, and he will leave ASAP. How long did he hide in PIO? And you have to love the PIO commander. Put him in patrol and he is history too.

Angel, you and Bill Schwartz are nice guys. Please don't get caught up in this mess. Bill, especially you. Your DROP is almost at an end.

If this were us, we would have been hauled into IA, suspended, reprimanded and most likely terminated. Nothing will happen to T$, as nothing always happens. Gee, I wonder what kind of ride the BK has? T$ didn't set his protege up with the same deal? Hummmm.

T$ has brought dishonor and repute upon this department. He should resign immediately! He has broken one of the very departmental orders that he as police chief is charged with enforcing.

I heard BK was the snitch. He is making his move.

His name is Ray Blanco, he is the manager at Kendall Lexus and he is a police auxiliary officer with MPD.. Rumors are circulating that he is a very close friend of the executive assistant as well as the major in administration and that he has been know to sell cars to MPD officers at discount rates. Rumors are also circulating that he at times has provided free vehicles to officers and their relatives.

ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE OF HOW THE RULES DON'T APLLY TO EVERYONE. WHAT HAPPENED TO LEADING BY EXAMPLE? LET'S GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. PERHAPS HE'S TEST DRIVING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUV'S FOR THE K9 UNIT.......

I am just a civilain from Broward. I heard on the news that Lexus of Miami was offering super deals on test driving there vehicles. I found it very hard to beleive that I could test drive a great top of the line Lexus vehicle for 1 year for free to see if I like it. Can some one post a contact number for me so I could get one of these vehicles. I would also like to know if I can also get one for my wife and 2 kids, and does that also include insurance. Thank You..and be safe.

Listen,T-Money is untouchable in Miami. This guy must have the goods on politicians so my question is
DOES THE DEPUTY CHIEF HAVE A LEXUS AND IF SO,IS IT A SCAM LIKE OUR CHIEFS?????
That would put an end to Boy King!

Don't think for 1 minute that this is bothering T$, he is sitting in his office planning his next trip.

Word has it that he no longer lives at the Grand, only his soon to be ex wife lives there.

What a ballsy little leprachaun!

I personally know Ray Blanco, and his family. Any suggestion that Ray Blanco, is involved in any way in this matter is false. All Ray has done is put himself through the F.H.P Academy with his own money to donate his time to the City Of Miami auxiliry Program. Ray, has also donated (THOUSANDS) of dollars of his own money to P.A.L. and other Police involved charities such as the Turkeys given to needy families on thanksgiving by the Miami Police Dept.
There is no such thing as a great deal when buying or leasing a car, But if you are a part of the Law Enforcement family, Ray, will give you a good and fair deal as he has done for me and hundreds of others from different law Enforcement Agencies and their families.
If this vehicle was given to Chief Timiney, by the owner of the Lexus dealer which is what I believe and gather from the news investigation, That is the owner of Lexus Of Kendall right to do so. However, If any laws or Dept orders were violated by Chief Timiney, he will have to answer.

bushmaster just contacted me. they are going to loan me an AR-15. if i can get 50 policemen to purchase a new bushy, then i can keep the loaner for freeeee!!!!wwwwweeeeeee!!!!!!! i just have to fill out some stupid form. or i can just say i forgot to fill it out...

i was eyeing a pair h3's and wanted to know if he can hook me up with the satillite, navigation and all the bells and whistles, the the sales rep said its ok to drive it away just need to have some dna,a sperm sample and a city letterhead...woohoooo

I will prescribe meds for all you guys suffering from A.D.D.!
Lets put it in a way that even 1st graders will understand:
Ray is a good boy. Ray will help you buy a car at a good price,unless you are a bad man.
Ray has nothing to do with what the bad man did!
The chief of police is the man who made a boo boo and is a bad man!!

Now,what other bad men from the boss office has done this?
Has the Deputy chief or other staff,been bad too?

i went by cdss today and the suv was not there but there was another lexus parked on the last spot on the ground level where t$ parks it was a black es400. BK parking spot has a 2007 expedition limited and that is what i have seen him driving. If you get a 2007 expedition limited why would you risk it driving that lexus, the expo goes for around the same $. no need for all that luxury heck Hialeah Police Chief drives and unmarked crown vic, why not ours?

The chief was only test driving new take home cars for us. Didn't anyone notice that the Lexus was white and had a blue light on the dash. I think the chief went out of his way to spare the rank and file from such a hard task. I think the chief should be commended for his actions. further more I think when the testing opens up to inculde BMW, Mercedes, and Rolls Royce the chief should let the street officers do the testing. I know its not easy but we should be doing the testing that way we can properly evaluate the vehicles in real life situations with out having the cheif waste any of his important time. I am sure that CNN would love to have him become a full time reporter for them.

All I can say is that the greedy Carpetbagger Irishman got what he could for himself and screwed a bunch of cops in the process that in the future might have gotten a decent deal on a car. Way to go arsehole!!

La Ley De El Embuo The gravy for them and the $hit for the grunts!!!!!

It is ironic to think that he was hired under the premise of cleaning up the non-existent rampant corruption in the department (according to Raul Martinez) and now finds himself holding the $hitty end of the stick. Let?s see, isn't the taking of $8K for a car allowance grand theft when you don't rent a car???

How about lying, not once but twice and getting caught both times!!! Doesn't that go to untruthfulness????????? AAAHHHHH what am I thinking, those rules only apply to the commoners right?????????

And to think this guy is collecting pensions from two other departments, his consulting business and a pretty hefty city paycheck and he feels the need to accept graft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does it go: Power Corrupts, Absolute Power, Absolutely Corrupts

Those sound like the words of one of the best chiefs here, Ken Harms,l.o.l.
I couldnt have said it better but nothing will happen to T!
He is untouchable UNLESS the FOP,OUR UNION,goes public and gets behind Harms suggestion,FDLE and the city saviour,Tomasito Regalado!

[Phaedrus11]

the chief bought it?

http://cbs4.com/topstories/local_story_233191530.html

know they will turn it around and say he did nothing wrong because he bought the car. question is how much did he pay for it, cause now that he bought it after a year of use it is considered a used car and i am sure he did not pay 53,000 he probably paid 30,000 corruption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

word has it that Manny Diaz and Donna Shalala are among several other high up muckity mucks who are participating in the test drive program

I heard a rumor of a duplex in City of Miami where I could buy $2000.00 suits for $125.00 with no tax. Any remember the location????

Thats why we are the laughing stock of the Law Enforcement Community....Get rid of the mental midgets who run this deptartment and the a$$ kissers who always have an excuse for them. How dare you taint the good name of the Miami Police Dept. and the men and women who served and are serving proudly. :evil:

I checked with several dealerships and they said that it is not uncommon for a dealership to spot a vehicle to someone for several months. The issue here is, does it violate an ethics violation by a public official. A public official particularly a chief of police should never place himself in a situation where there is a perception of special treatment because of his position he holds. The question here is, if it were Joe citizen, would he have received a spot on vehicle as the Chief did? Furthermore, because the Chief is the top L.E. officer for the City of Miami, he should hold himself to a higher standard of moral ethics. I was once told in an ethics class, if it seems inappropriate to accept a gift, it probably is in appropriate. The Chief should a have known better to have accepted a free car for so long being who he is. Common sense tell you not to do this.

I guess bank robbers can say, when they get caught.
oh, i forgot to sign to loan papers


yeah right, good defense,


NOT

[Phaedrus11]

The chief held a press conference today and stated that he will not resign



http://cbs4.com/topstories/local_story_235113905.html

Great then he can be fired. And that will look real good on his resume. Anyone ever find out why Philly sent him packing?

This is so embarrassing. Resignation is in order.

And who is paying for his swanky apartment at the Grand Bay Condominium? Surely not him!

Hey, what about this?. This is something we seem to have forgoten about, what ws the story with that, didn't he right of the bat get those perps when we brought him down. HMMMM, Great point

CNN news has supported the chief in the past and I hear zero about the current news on CNN. Someone please contact CNN, the world needs to hear about this corrupt chief, and public opinion and pressure will force his resignation!

CBS4 investigate these angles: Does the owner of the Kendall Lexus dealership own another dealership in the City? Or, does one of the Lexus dealers close friends own a dealership in the City of Miami? And, could either of those owners/dealerships be responsible for our lease car program (i.e. SIS, IA, Command Staff ect.)? :shock: :twisted: :!: :?:

Very interesting! I wonder, what funding source pays for these $800.00 or more a month rentals - LETF? If rentals were procured ostensibly to advance an LETF funded complex investigation and in fact are being used for other purpose not sanctioned by LETF, it might be a violation of FSS 932.7055(5) (a)! I wonder what else will surface when the new chief of police takes command and requests an audit?
