Chief Guzman

[Unregistered]

Wow, City Manager messed up by hiring Guzman. Guzman is no Chief material. He was trained by Frank Fernandez, and Timoney. Do as I say,not as I do type of guy. 2 face type of guy. Good luck to the good old boys. Just watch as the Cubans will slowly make their way in. Watch him hire Miami Finest to staff his brass.

[Unregistered]

Your City Manage actually hired Guzman over Cannon? I guess he is some kind of special idiot. Guzman can't hold Cannons proverbial jockstrap. Actually Guzman doesn't need a jock strap, maybe a pair of pants and panty liners.

[Unregistered]

Cannon is the best candidate for Springs. I agree with above post, Guzman needs some panty liners.

[Unregistered]

It must be a Latin thing to hire Guzman over Cannon. What a sham.

Is this thread going to be high jacked by the Miami PD Retards now?

Guzman looked like a fool in front of council over the Relay for Life street closure. Hopefully he gets better. And maybe he will learn the mayor and manager are POS and will throw him under the bus.

So when Garcia is not reflected and the manager is fired does Guzman keep his job?

Perhaps; however, your husband will never come back as chief.

The Ethics Commission has notified the City Clerk that Garcia didn't lawfully qualify for the election. Garcia collected signature outside of the qualifying period. If he does some how win the results will be thrown out. Just another example of the corruption of this administration.

If Suco does become mayor Gorland is history and Guzman is most likely out.

Well, I guess that we don't have to worry about that seeing the Suco has been relegated back to selling hot dogs.

At least we have a retired PO sitting the council.

Really? Guzman has been here three months and takes vacation during the elections and River Cities. WTF the biggest event in Miami Springs for the year and the police chief isn't going to be here? Great pick of a dedicated Chief of Police by Gorland and the Mayor.

Maybe he is working on another political flyer for the mayor.

[Unregistered]

Chief Guzman allowed his name to be put on a campaign flyer that was distributed by the city. This is a misuse of city funds and personnel and totally unethical. We went from having a jerk for chief to having an unethical political who're as chief. He was looking promising but now,he just looks like a ***** and do boy for the manager and mayor.

Are you really this stupid?

[Unregistered]

Actually the post raises a very legitimate issue. The administration sent out the flyer in response to the campaign flyer criticizing crime in Miami Springs. The city's flyer was nothing more than a campaign flyer for the incumbents. Guzman was only following orders but he should have kept the department and his name out of the political sewer.

So there is nothing stupid about the post, unless you are sucking up to Guzman. By the way where is the chief this weekend?

All right Einstein; I’ll play this game with you.
The Sucko camp puts out a flyer alleging that crime is increasing in Miami Springs and is out of the control of the police department.

Now; I don’t know about you, but I took that shit personally specially because I new that it wasn’t true and because I am a member of this department and those comments reflected on me and you.
Guzman is the chief, and as such any statements pertaining to correcting misprints of crime statistics in HIS police department are his business, not the Mayor or the City Manager.
Of course if you think that the afternoon A/ should have answered the flyer, then you should tell Guzman that he screwed up and should have left it to the consummate professional.

I don't know where the chief is this weekend; however, it shows that he has enough faith in his subordinates to delegate the task of running the festival. See, that is a sign of leadership and not the previous micromanagement under Mr. Wonderful.

[Unregistered]

So the new chief takes off for the biggest weekend of the year in Miami Springs. What kind of leadership is that? Maybe absentee leadership. What a bozo. The chief should have been at the festival the entire weekend. That would have been leadership. Showing the troops that he is willing to be there with them on the weekends. What an embarrassment MSPD has become.

I’ll tell you what Studley; grow a pair first, then go to the man’s office and express your disapproval of his management skills.
You will gain a lot more respect from your peers for doing that instead of hiding behind an anonymous keyboard like a little girl.

I have a bad feeling about Chief Guzman. He really rubs me the wrong way. Seems like a song and dance man, a puppet, not a real police chief. I really hope Suco wins his lawsuit so we can fire Gorland and Guzman.

[Unregistered]

So Suco files a lawsuit and has made it known that the City Manager and Guzman are out when he becomes Mayor. So Guzman has chest pains and has to transported by fire-rescue. It is almost comical. Dinner with the C brothers daddy isn't going to save Guzman.

Give it up nene!
If the next chief has an IQ larger than his shoe size he /she won't promote you either.

I've been hearing that Nene & Nena are going to file a grievance when the promotional list expires and a new exam is given, is this true? If so, guys, get a life! Really, no one would work for you anyway (at least not by choice). The best decision the Chief would ever make is to bypass yoda and the jedi.

[Unregistered]

Guzman was my TAO when I went to the academy. Years ago. I known him for years. Yes he done some questionable things. Really who hasn't working at Miami P.D. Give the guy a chance. Changes can't happen overnight. Guzman and I are not friend's. We just know each other, say hi went in passing and respect each other. That being said. Any new chief coming into a place will make changes. He or she see fit. Some may work. Others may not. Things take time.

[Unregistered]

Guzman is a loser. He is nothing but the mayors and city managers *****. He has always been a wannabe and just doesn't have the cojones to back it up. Really, when does a chief counsel an officer for getting a complaint once in every 7 years.

I'm sure he has picked out several young Cuban cops and has a cliq formed around him as he always does.

You know, you are probably right; however, that is called mentoring. The good news is that there are no blacks here to pollute the professional gene pool.

Stay in overtown and keep your petty racially motivated cheap shots to yourself and concentrate on that Muslim assistant chief of yours that refuses to pledge allegiance to our flag.

Thanks for your concerns.

You know what? You can come here spewing your hate for Guzman all you want. But guess what? The man has done nothing but move Miami Springs forward in the right direction. Thats more than that waste of a Chief Baan ever did! So can save the trash talk and stick to your crocodile infested city.

Mentoring? You really are a dumb **** aren't you. So Miami Springs PD is having another officer arrested. Fine little department you have there. Looks like Guzman isn't the only loser at MSPD.

Leave Guzman alone. The guy is harmless. I've known him for years. He may be a Yes Man and a Do-boy for the Mayor and Manager but for the most part as long as they let him stay in the Chiefs position he'll be okay.he just wants to keep the job and not make waves.
Leave the guy alone.... He's harmless.

[Unregistered]

That is the problem we don't need harmless. We need someone to step up for the cops and be a leader. He smiles a lot and has his puppies following him around but to counsel an officer that received two complaints in 14 years is kind of ridiculous. The city manager gets a call from the mayor, the CM calls the chief and the chief counsels the officer with hearing her side. Poor leadership by a wannabe be chief.

[Unregistered]

2 complaints in 14 years? Lol, are we thinking about the same "she"?

[Unregistered]

I know Guzman from working in Miami. He won't hurt the officer unless he's pushed by the Mayor or Manager. He probably counseled the officer so he could appease the Mayor and Manager. He may not stick up for the troops but he won't go out of his way to hurt anyone.
As long as you lay low and don't make waves you'll be okay with Guzman.

I agree. Leave Guzman alone. Although he's not much of a leader he's harmless.

[Unregistered]

I have also worked with Guzman. He's a basic follower and will hide in his office and wait for his bosses to tell him what to do.
Believe me, he'll have NO impact on the organization. He's very low profile and has spent his career hiding and coming out only when he was directed to do so.
Just ignore him. Like the last poster said, "he's basically harmless". He just needs a job.

[Unregistered]

Wow, why don't you have the balls to tell us what it was that Guzman did that pissed you off this much.
You obviously work, or did, for MPD, but you take the time and effort to come here to bad mouth him.
I believe that besides being a petty little *****, you are jealous that he made something with his life and you are still probably working mids in Overtown.
So why don't you give us a break and stay on the Miami page; God only knows that there is plenty there to ***** about.

[Unregistered]

I agree with the last poster. I don't think he's bad mouthing Armando. He's just giving you an accurate description of his working habits and history. Personally I think the Springs needs a low profile type.

Answer your calls for service and avoid complaints and controversial situations and all will be fine. When I worked for him I think I may have seen him once a month. If he orders you to do something stupid it's probably because his boss told him to do it. He may not stick up for the troops but he won't bother you unless he's told to do so. Low profile can be a real good thing.

I would like to personally thank all of you members of the MPD who have taken the time to post your personal feelings about our chief.
Having said that please take note that some of you, and I suspect that there are several post penned by the same author, exhibit clear signs of "Passive-Aggressive Behavior" in your writings.

Why does the one poster always refer to blacks or working Overtown, etc. What is the need for racists posts on this site. It must be the underlying racism of some members of the Miami Springs Police Department.

That being said, the other poster is correct, Guzman is only going to do what the manager and mayor tells him to do. He will not go out on a limb for anyone, he will develope cliques and play favorites, he will act tough but is really a mommas boy, he is kind of a bump on a log, just sitting there not doing anything unless you sit on the bump, then he is a pain in the butt. Overall a zero but harmless.

He has already started the cliques withe Castillo family. The daddy is pushing hard for his boys and kissing Guzmans butt and Guzman loves to have his butt kissed. Guzman is too dumb to ask about how Castillo got his money, but then again Guzman was also friends with most of the river cops.

So now Guzman is going to go to number 6 on the sergeants list to promote Castillo. Never mind there is a list, never mind there are people with more experience and senority above Castillo. If this administration doesn't like you, you are screwed. Looks like all those dinners with daddy paid off.

And the fine chief is saying he is going to start a SWAT team in Miami Springs. He is still playing soldier and will never grow up. Miami Springs doesn't need a SWAT team and Guzman, former MPD SWAT Commander when several officers were indicted for their actions on SWAT call-puts shouldn't have anything to do with SWAT anywhere.

But the best is that he is going to remodel the shower in the station because he says it is too yukky for him to shower in after his daily bike rides.

Oh also threatening to fire a senior officer because she has had two discourtesy complaints.

Great leader, great chief for a ****ed up police department.

[Unregistered]

First, Castillo is not number 6 on the list. Check your facts. Second, the chief has not promoted anyone yet, let alone 2 officers. So either your blurring the facts to conceal your identity or you have no clue about what-s going on at the department. Maybe your just one of those guys who claimed they were going to be the next supervisor and your ineffective studying habits failed you miserably during crunch time. Or maybe you just like to stir shit up because deep down inside your just a failure. Or maybe you think you deserve the world because you've been there longer than Castillo, can't write a report to save your life and cruise up and down 36 street all day writing tickets and making traffic arrests. Or maybe your someone who bought a gold badge prematurely thought the gig was yours and can't face the fact that you will have to confront your family and friends with your failure of being passed over. I'll take Castillo over all you crying little girls any day of the week. So before you open your mouth and insert foot, allow the chief to make a decision as opposed to posting inaccuracies and speculation. if your being passed up or not being considered or selected then there's probably a really good reason. Think about it. Not all of us can be leaders.

Cubans are the most racist cops by far. Most of them are uneducated, sound like they grew up in the Cuban countryside and have little knowledge of English grammar. The Springs cops that post on here are by far the worst. The Cuban mayor ensured a Cuban Chief was made and now the Cuban chief is going to take care of his young Cuban boys that think they are real cops working in Miami Springs. MSPD was always a joke but now it is on its way to be a third world joke.

We must have been invaded by the "Body Snatchers" and left an alien in Guzman's body, because he has exhibited no difficulties in making independent decisions and has demonstrated the testicular fortitude to be a leader.
Just because a boss doesn't kiss your ass and gives you everything you cry for don't mean he has no balls.

So now Guzman is bringing his buddy from MPD and assign him directly to the money laundering task force. Officers that have worked at the MSPD for years were not given the opportunity to apply to the unit, but Guzmans buddy, who was indicted for a shooting while at MPD SWAT gets the job right away. Oh yeah Guzman was the SWAT Commander when several officers were indicted from SWAT.

Also the money laundering task force doesn't generate enough funds to pay for the officers salary. Just more of the friends and family plan.

While you are entitled to your opinions, you are not entitled to your own facts.
1- The person at that position was inefective.
2- The person being brought in has a proven track record of seizures and a network of informants to insure a greater sucsess.
3- The SWAT members that were investigated were from the previous Commander (Sullivan) and while Guzman was in the team as a SGT, he was not in charge.

You see, I know ALL the players, and while I am not Guzman, I know who the trouble makers are and I assure you that you need to read-up on the effects of Karma. You are a bitter little person without the courage and self respect to confront people face to face and thus you relegate yourself to the protection of anonymity in these pages.

The facts are that a new hire to MSPD is going to a task force with out other officers being offered the position. MSPD has never had anyone at the money laundering task force.

The person being brought in has a proven record but the task force hasn't confiscated enough money and dispersed it back to the agencies in the amount that matches the officers salary in years. And it will be at least 1-2 years before the money is seen by the city

And your facts are totally incorrect regarding SWAT. GUZMAN was never on SWAT when Sullivan was there. Guzman was one of two SWAT commanders when several SWAT officers were indicted. Guzman was so bad as SWAT Commmander the chief put a captain in charge of SWAT to straighten it out. His buddy he is bringing in was one those officers indicted.

So you see you really don't know shit about any of the people involved. So just refrain from making up stories and posting them. There is a guy that lives in Miami Springs that actually does know all the facts, go see him, he will enlighten you if ask

It was always comical that someone that doesn't post his name calls out someone else for doing the same.

Sullivan? Sullivan left SWAT in 1981. Guzman started in SWAT in 1985-86. The poster is full of crap that he knows anything about MPD or those involved. Guzman was one of two or three commanders when the incidents that lead to the officers indictments occurred. The officers were indicted maybe two years later. When the captain had been put in charge of SWAT. Guzman wasn't the SWAT Commander when the indictments happened because he and the other commanders were essentially demoted and the captain pout in charge.

Those are the real facts

[Unregistered]

The mid 1990's indictments and investigations in to MPD SWAT was a HISTORICAL investigation going back to the 1980's as to events that had occurred some years back under Sullivan. A lot of those guys "Retired" early and went on with other departments in order to avoid further scrutiny. Sullivan's famous saying was "When you get your story straight then call me and I'll go on the scene" Sully was a good Commander for his times and a pretty good leader.
Of course that was before all of the little dikes, *****es and snitches infiltrated our ranks and destroyed the profession.
Guzman is old school and a good guy who backed his guys, too bad some here at MPD hold a grudge because he had to come down on them. . . .yeah. . . .you know who you are. . . . .

[Unregistered]

Your "facts" are still wrong. You are either a liar, stupid or blindly defending Guzman. The MPD SWAT indictments occurred for bad shootings that occurred in the late 90s- 98 or 99. The actual indictments were in 2001-02. They had nothing to do with 80s. Guzman was the commander during the incidents. Those are the facts. There was never an officer from SWAT indicted until Guzman took over and was so weak he lost control of the team. As far as coming down on someone, he only targeted the blacks.

Get the facts straight before you post on here. Sullivan had nothing to do with the problems on SWAT. That happened long after he left.

Guzman is th chief so that isn't going to change. The Mayor wanted a Hispanic and he got one. The Spring is fast on its way to becoming another Hialeah Garsens or Sweetwater PD. Not a good department, not a bad department, just another place where most of the cops have no real idea about police work but think they are doing a great job.

Well, darling you are right on two accounts only:
1- Guzman is the Chief
2-The cops here are clueless and think they are really something because they catch some kid with grass.
Which begs the question as you are obviously a MPD person; are you black seeing as you can't spell for shit?

I'm MPD and I've been on SWAT. It is true, Guzman was Swat Co. during the bad shootings and the officer he is bringing on was indicted. Guzman was one of three Lt's on SWAT at the time. A captain was assigned to SWAT to straighten it out.

Guzman for the most part won't harm anyone but he is going to take care of his own first. Whoever is posting about Sullivan is wrong.

So there were 3 Lt's in SWAT at the time and Guzman was one of the three. Obviously he wasn't held responsible for any of that as he was never charged with anything internally or externally and was subsequently promoted. The fact that a Captain was assigned to the unit makes sense for overall command and accountability as 3 Lt's running a unit is a bad idea.

"Guzman for the most part won't harm anyone but he is going to take care of his own first" That's an interesting statement.
The fact that he won't harm anyone is bad?
The fact that he "takes care of his own" what does that mean; Is it the people on his team? Don't you want a leader that takes care of you THE SAME WAY YOU TAKE CARE OF HIM???

And yes, Sully is a great guy enjoying his retirement in Orlando working Real State.

[Unregistered]

It seems that Guzman won't harm anyone refers to that he is kind of a lump of dog poo and really doesn't do anything that may be questioned or criticized by the mayor and city manager.

Taking care of his own obliviously refers to Cubans males Beware if you are Anglo or female, blacks aren't an issue in Miami Springs, which is good since he is afraid of them.

He likes to take credit for others accomplishments.

MPD always had three Lt's and no Cpt until Guzman and the other two Lt's screwed it up and it was almost disbanded. The Cpt was brought in by oObrien and instructs to fix it. Guzman was promoted to staff positions, a lot of buttkissers were promoted to staff at MPD.

But the real issue is that he is bringing in an officer and assigning him directly to a task force with anyone at MSPD being offered the job. The officer was on SWAT, indicted and is Cuban. Nothing more to said.

1- He is allowed because he is the Chief.
2- You have to wait to see if this new guy will produce or not before you make that statement.
3- There is no room at the Food Spot on 36 St for another patrol car while you are bullshitting.
When you become Chief, then you'll do whatever you want and others will bad mouth you; can't wait. . . . . .NOT

Leave Guzman alone. He's harmless. The guy is a "lap dog" "yes man" so he won't be going anywhere. The mayor wanted someone with no balls and he got the right guy. That's why Cannon didn't get the job.
The Springs will continue to be a zero department when it comes to progress, equipment, training , etc. Guzman will be in his office 20 years from now doing exactly what he's doing now. Sitting on his butt waiting for his boss to tell him what to do.

He should be well rested, the man never leaves the station and parks across the street in the 2 hour parking spot to avoid walking far.

So the chief gets a call from a politician, most likely his daddy the mayor, and call an officer and orders him to release a prisoner. Guzman doesn't have the balls to back his officers against the politicians. He will get us new cars but beyond that he is a ***** for the mayor.

Arrest occurred on Dove Ave. CD made the arrest. RC was there with him and lil Justin received the call and relayed it to CD.

I think that the citizens would be far more interested in officers making bull-shit arrest without sufficient probable cause to substantiate the charges.
Then of course we have the officers that lie and exaggerate in their narratives to fit the charge. These are the officers that we need to get rid off.
Don't you agree?

"In the absence of sufficient probable cause to support the charge you must make the person "whole" and release them where you found them in the same condition as you found them"

The one thing you don't want to do is to engage in "Creative A-Form Writing 101" to make the narrative fit the charge for this will make you a unprofessional scumbag unworthy of wearing the uniform and eligible for jail time.

It is quite sad the the legacy left by the previous chief is that of cowards making baseless accusations on these pages while enjoying the protection of anonymity. You can't be asked if you witness anything or if you are simply regurgitating something one of our discontents have told you. What proof exists and what evidence you have.
This is one of the reasons that the public does not respect us and our profession is becoming less admired than a politician.
While you may be in the "outs" with Armando because you didn't get what you thought you were entitled to, at least have the courage to confront personally. You will be amazed of how much respect you will gain even from people that don't agree with you.
This is what professionals would do while cheap whores do what you do.

I have no beef with the chief. Although we may have seen many improvements from the prior chief . All this department knew was the bottom of the barrel prior to him so yes anything is an improvement. The verdict is still out on his leadership abilities. No one at MSPD call him "Armando" so you must not work in the MSPD.

Why does the one poster always refer to blacks or working Overtown, etc. What is the need for racists posts on this site. It must be the underlying racism of some members of the Miami Springs Police Department.

That being said, the other poster is correct, Guzman is only going to do what the manager and mayor tells him to do. He will not go out on a limb for anyone, he will develope cliques and play favorites, he will act tough but is really a mommas boy, he is kind of a bump on a log, just sitting there not doing anything unless you sit on the bump, then he is a pain in the butt. Overall a zero but harmless.

He has already started the cliques withe Castillo family. The daddy is pushing hard for his boys and kissing Guzmans butt and Guzman loves to have his butt kissed. Guzman is too dumb to ask about how Castillo got his money, but then again Guzman was also friends with most of the river cops.

Stand down sailor, that 's an order!
