Why is the Tampa office always the one that has the biggest idiots, differing opinions, horrid bosses, and just seems to always be the talk of the town?

Always look at who is commanding.....This last one is either a f-ing idiot and a cuckold husband or a embezzler!

Tampa takes the prize with MB. Joint banks accounts! Thieves.
P’cola and Jax have a lack of leadership. Bullies are not leaders.

In reference to Pcola.....Thats what you get when your a rural county (at the time..... Volusia county), deputy sheriff who did nothing and made him a S/A....Only experience he got was with CCIB in Seminole....and he was a tool there from the crew there at the time. Even Sammy didnt like him.....

All of the higher ups are rejects from other regions, with the exception of one that doesn't even deserve to be an ASAC.

MB- Clueless in Jax/Field office, seemed to do no wrong. Always had a strange way of doing things, and instead of being looked at as "WTF is wrong with this guy" they promoted him.

Jonny V- The little ******* should have been gone in Miami, but luckily his target had gone after too many people. Breeden was 100% right going after JV as he knew he was an asshole. Skated and went on to Tampa and now acts, for the most part, like Breeden. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

SF- how the hell did she ever get the position, but we all know. Worked no big cases or really stood on her own 2 feet, fugitives, professional opinion giver (polygraph), and may be one of the least experienced ASAC's in the business. At least Tampa doesn't have too much longer under her.

Supervisors- The ones that came from Tallahassee were problems there, and of course used connections from tally to give themselves life all while being horrible SAS's. One has been taken care of, another doesn't belong, and ?

If you're picking Tampa or transferring in, you're volunteering for the short bus that's headed to the clown college.

It appears Brutnell the thief has a reprieve from the impending felony conviction due to the courts being closed this month. Why is Brutnell still not under investigation/removed from office. It is clear he can’t run anything, including his checkbook and he is supposed to be responsible for a Regional budget and personnel decisions amongst others. Where is the Brutnell family going to come up with the $600K+ Judgment that St. John’s was just awarded, all while living in their posh downtown condo. This is ridiculous.

I hear Mark is bringing his gourmet lunch in every day in his Yeti cooler, lobster sandwiches with caviar topping. Just repping like a SAC should you peasant!

SF is gone soon, need to clean out that little b*stard Jonny V. and the "look the other way while shit happens" MB.

Then, take some of the Supervisors with them. Look at the ones who have treated employees unfair, even if they were going under orders of JV. If they have no integrity, they have no integrity. Take Mike, DM, (both are so full of themselves and couldn't manage a squad of people with their reported specialty training LMAO) and BS.

Tampa needs to clean house.

That's a fair list of ENTITLED and NARCISSISTIC idiots that shouldn't be where they are.

For example, if you take over a group of people on a squad that you think is your absolute specialty then run everyone off because you're a prick (whether it be slowly/one by one or all at once LMAO) or STICK UP/SUPPORT THOSE TYPES you don't belong at FDLE.

[Unregistered]

Possibly, just possibly, this is what happens when you promote entitled people that have connections instead of those that have a vision for success in running a squad. Those that are focused on who their going to "run out" and those they are going to favor (pump up, write B.S. reviews on how good they are) instead of actually just trying to make everyone work better, make the squad a success, and play to everyones strengths and weaknesses.

But this is what people like Johnny V and others have created and is now accepted. It's Agency wide in my opinion. It's who you are, not whats best for the Agency and/or squad. And you can say this goes all the way to the top, can't you? I mean, how did the FDLE commissioner become the Commissioner? How did a SAC in Orlando get promoted from an outside agency? you could go on and on.

[Unregistered]

It's not a mistake that JV's boss is a Trainee that is much younger than him/her with much less sworn experience than him/her. Right where the little guy belongs.

When will we taxpayers and the sheriffs office of St. John’s county get justice? We’re gonna watch when the current group of SACs retire cuz the ASACs are freakin worse. Like in JROC.. The big bully loves telling people you’re the worst in the state, idiots and morons, and the next guy in line can never be trusted. What a joke. Any real cops working from home b/c there afraid of the virus? Hear the FDLE wimps all the way to the top are hiding at home in their jammies with their blankies! Tampa is a minuscule part of their problems. SJC taxpayers want justice. Put the Brutnells in jail.

So true. This is NOT a Tampa thing though, even though Tampa is the poster child for buffoonery.

The arrogant ASAC and above mostly believe that the people beneath them are inexperienced idiots that are not worthy of being promoted. But yet, being in power, they do nothing to make their people better, more experienced, or better trained. Look at Orlando.. the most glaring and obvious case.

So what is offered to employees? They focus on ruling by fear, veiled threats, passive aggressive stances and policies, and when that doesn't work OR someone stands up for themselves or someone else, they are targeted, harassed, bullied, or a hostile work environment is strategically created around them over time. There is a master level of games and B.S. for to keep people "in their place". Some regions are better than others at this.

The only employee worthy of moving up is a "yes-man" that's willing to give full reports on the employees around them.. being the perfect snitch is a true quality here. It's good to be the an Administrator or higher level at FDLE and once you're there, no one else is as good as you apparently.

Senior employees? Seen as over-payed idiots that have done nothing and just rode the path of bad supervisors and lazy assignments... all of which was done because that's the way the administrations at the time wanted things done. This is also part of the targeting... let's look back and say someone was doing nothing and that their supervisor or someone who is now gone was just covering for them when the employee was trying to do so much more but was shot down or "put in his place" and told to just hang low and do only what the current system wanted him/her to do. This is a super-tactic used by FDLE... pull in a good employee and plaster them with bullshit and tell them they've done nothing when they have worked their asses off... there's nothing anyone can do and they can and will twist anything they want to fit their objective.

PBA will hide in the shadows and as some have suspected.. may even pass on info to the administration to backstab the Agent who was looking for help.

There will be no justice... and MB will be going no where.. except promoted. He's one of them and can do no wrong right now.

Well said. Buffoonery and passive aggressive behaviors are the norm for command staff. A shame the agency has disintegrated to this state. Wonder if they will survive the budget shortfall?

FDLE apparently does a really good job Bull$hitting people about what they do in order to get funded. Of course, it helps when you have the Governor appoint you and you can promote and cover for each other. I'm really surprised that Swearingen and a few others are still there.

If you look at FDLE now, most people coming in will have more experience and be better suited as cops, yet expect to get paid $47K a year and be placed under angry, fear-creating supervisors (well, that is IF they can do it do you because you need to stay there.. mainly the Sr. guys and some of the younger guys that they can really **** with).

Insiders saying they are going for it all and don't care that they spent big money on one of the best lawyers (Highest paid) in the state. The evidence is there and the $700K Grand theft from a County police agency when you are in a position of high trust is so egregious.. there will be no mercy during trial or sentencing.

God I hope so....Its not that I dislike MB, its I REALLY dislike the "system" FDLE has with those who are liked and those who are not. I REALLY wish it was MP in TROC or JM in PROC, or even our ass hat here in JROC, but MB will do.

I agree, and RS, CP, TF need to be taken out of their roles. They are the WORST leadership group FDLE has ever seen! CP is a dangerous little know it all who thinks that everyone is below her and makes it obvious that she feels that way.

Finally we citizens of St. John’s county will hopefully get justice. We’v been waiting two long years and want her in jail.
Then we want to see her shared-bank account hubby removed from his position of power and public trust at FDLE. He is a stain on the uniform...

Make sure you get in a bunch of fun stuff before your embezzling thief of a wife goes to prison. Remember Mark, if she LOVED you and respected your marriage she would have not stolen nearly 3/4 of a million dollars into your JOINT account. BTW: Those of us who know you are really not that surprised, you were never a good investigator. However a GREAT ass kisser. Make sure to thank your Mentor.......

Next? It should be MB and his criminal wife with the joint accounts.
Next? the command staff who has left MB in place as the face of Tampa.
Next? start with all the regions who are loaded with dead weight

St. Johns County Sheriff's Office embezzlement case delayed
Sheldon Gardner
St. Augustine Record


It will likely be next year before there's a resolution to the criminal case involving Raye Brutnell, who is accused of stealing from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office while she was the finance director.

Attorneys for the state and Brutnell met Tuesday afternoon to discuss her case with Circuit Judge Lee Smith.

Raye Brutnell
While the case had been scheduled for jury selection in December, both agreed to allow more time for work to be done related to the civil matters involving Brutnell.

Hank Coxe, Brutnell's attorney, said he discussed the matter with the assistant state attorney on the case and civil lawyers who are working on litigation.

"We are awaiting, hopefully, a resolution by the civil litigators with respect to recovery of significant sums that would benefit both the victim and the state," he said.


Smith entered a judgment against Brutnell this year in a civil case.

St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar sued Brutnell on behalf of the Sheriff's Office and the Sheriff's Office Benevolence Fund, seeking that Brutnell pay the funds back.

Smith ordered that Brutnell pay back $685,756, which is the amount of damages minus the amount covered by insurance, according to the judgment.


The criminal case is now scheduled for a pretrial hearing at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 5. Brutnell, who became finance director for the Sheriff’s Office in 2013, faces 16 felony charges.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, Brutnell initiated 74 payments to fictitious accounts totaling $702,773, including 51 payments from the benevolence fund worth $80,115 and a “misappropriated” benevolence fund check of $2,868.


She was arrested in November 2018 and is currently out on bond. She she entered a plea of not guilty.

Such an injustice that she has been able to ride this out for so long.. with Mark behind her Grand Theft ass all the way.

And of course this is Tampa. Anyone and everyone to come out of that place is horrid. Usually it's one of the reasons they go there in the first place.. whether its from Tallahassee, Miami, Orlando, you name it. And if they make it out (buddy system, not on merit) watch out.
