The problems this department has starts at the very top
We'll start off with the coke head of the Chairman or should I call him "these are the things I have to look at." We dont care what you did in your prior jobs that you think you can apply to police work. We dont have templates that we can give every new officer so that he never needs a 15. Most of joined this profession because no two days are alike. I wonder if the tribe knows how you used this department as your private company making us sit and watch security tapes and documenting everyone that passed by your ex wifes house. Now all of a sudden you care about us patrolling the community when before when we had less officers you had us babysitting hours upon hours. At the last meeting you talked about recruiting people. Sorry to tell you but no one is applying because we have nothing to offer. You think 39k a year, 401 k and now overtime are going to cut it. Shoot these days Florida City has a better plan than we do. So dont worry you keep doing your coke and crashing head on into people and a few months from now when the community asks where is our police department you can answer im responsible for us not having one.
Second person would have to be the Commisioner who doesnt know anything about law enforcement. He thinks because he did 20 years as a glorified dispatcher that makes him a cop. My man doesnt even know the codes. The only thing he likes to do is go into the station, and listen to himself on the radio and start giving out orders that make no sense. Its either that or hitting on the dispatchers. I wonder what your wife would think about that. Im surprised no one has brought up a complaint against you, dont worry in time it will come. At the last meeting you talked about how we had luxuries that other departments didnt. No we dont. The cell phone you give us isnt a luxury its a necessity seeing as how our radios dont work inside of the Krome District. Also you wearing that uniform is an insult to every officer who busted his behind to graduate the academy when you've failed twice. How you expect to lead men when you havent been able to walk in there foot steps. You are not a leader. You wearing that uniform is worse than those tights shirts you wear. At least get a bra.
You are supposed to be a liason between the tribe and the police department not a liason between the chairman and the police department. You should inform the tribe how they in all likelyhood have lost two members of there families because we sit on checkpoints. Or how they are getting robbed at night because everyone in Miami knows that Miccosukee officers sit on checkpoints from 6 pm to 7 am and are so short staffed you could rob someone and be on the turnpike before we get there. Its not us being slow on responding its because we dont have the man power. See Mr. Commisioner you arent a leader your just the chairmans boy. This will never change because at this point you make to much money to do the honorable thing and let someone do your job the way its supposed to be done. Then again look who im talking to about honor , the person who sets up his own people to looks bad. Your true colors showed at the last meeting putting supervisors on the spot about their loyalty to the deparment, well let me ask you this, where is the departments loyalty to us?
The third person has to be Lt. Hebson. As much as it seems you are trying most senior officers in this department have no respect for you. You were the chiefs boy and as much as you like to deny that we all know you getting that position was because of that friendship. There were other more qualified supervisors for that position. Lets not mention the fact that the position wasnt put out for other people show there interest because you and your boy had it worked out. Now that the chief is gone you act like you dont want all the work, that you prefer being on mid nights with your 33's. If you dont like all the work promote another Lt. willing to do the job and go up there and fight for us that way you can go back to mids.
Fourth and not least would have to be the sergeants. we have some pretty good sergeants. Even though most of them are company men but they dont really have a choice but to say yes sir or no sir. really they have families so you can't even blame them for sometimes asking us to do the most redundant things . Ive worked for all the sergeants we have now and there couldnt be a better group. So for this I tip my hat.
This is how I feel about our leaders. Im sorry if this has offended any of you but im sure alot of my fellow officers are thinking the same thing. I hope that things change drastically in the near future if not this department will remain on 12 hour shift for months to come.
Thank you guys for your time. And please post more comment so maybe someone takes interest in our cost. I think even pity on us we'll do for now.
