OK, enough...I know already I want nothing to do with Lemack. You Scott Israel have been lurking in the distance showing interest..and you seem to have some good references from your FLPD "old school" days. We don't need another politco Jenne/Lemack hibrid. Lamberti has my support for now even though I have seen little but at least things are slowly changing.
The problem is Lamberti is running out of time...the elections are in 8 months and we the deputies/Sgts are working with NO CONTRACT....
Some of the same brass still sit in their same seats at the PSB building and are sucking eggs for Lamberti acting like they were anti-Jenne but still burned good cops to ashes to make KJ happy or save him...
Are you the new blood that will bring us the relief and old school police work that we lost in 1992?....I remember those days when BSO was ADMIRED by other agencies, FEARED by criminals, and people sat on waiting lists to become a BSO Deputy Sheriff..Are you the one that will
restore that pride and image?...
Another question...what will you do about your old department ...the FLPD?..will you be pushing for a merger with that struggling city PD and make the Broward S.O. a true Metropolitan Police force?...I have no problem with that, most of those FLPD guys are good cops and need help from that idiot city manager that is cutting their balls off. BSO and FLPD together would be an awesome addition of area and resources..(thats my opinion) But I do not want another Cochran type that tries to destroy us and wittle us down while gifting high ranking jobs to old city buds..
What will you do about the civilian overload/special favors employed in recent years that suck money from the budget and takes the focus off of POLICE WORK. Deputy Sheriffs should be the 1st priority..support /civilian staff should be exactly that..SUPPORT STAFF.
I want you to realize that for being as BIG as we are, deputies are buried in mind numbing menotonous work that could be served by some of these CIVILIAN positions. Why are Deputy Sheriffs processing latent fingerprints on burglaries, auto thefts?....As the "Largest Accredited Sheriffs Office in the Nation" why do we not have crime scene tech/civilians that take this..this keeps Deputies out of service for way too long and is just a little example of the idiotic things done now. Civilian resources should be RE-ALLOCATED from PSB paper cutters to Crime Scene/CSA positions to keep sworn deputies in service.
Our aviation unit flies with dual missions and personell...a paramedic and a Deputy Sheriff PILOT on police missions that get constantly cut short to work dual jobs. Heres an idea, a Fire Rescue Aviation chopper..AND a Law Enforcement Aviation chopper....Lats time I checked we have 4 helicopters.
Districts...this is a thorny issue since ever CITY we contract services with bargain and pay for certain resources. However when it comes to the BEST interest of the citizens districts/patrol areas should closer with each other based on GEOGRAPHY.
SWAT...I cannot understand that with as many deputies we have had killed and as much violent crime we deal with that this department does not have a full time SWAT Team.
I have put enough to you for now...
Sheriff Lamberti you are welcome to peruse and respond to this as well because like I said for now you have my support..but understand this
WE ARE STILL HURTING....PAY US AND FIGHT THE STATE OR COUNTY COMMISION LATER, EQUIP US WITH WHAT WE NEED, RELEASE US FROM WHAT HAS BEEN BINDING US DOWN...
And the ball is in your court Scott Israel..show us what you are going to do....
