Narcotics is all but wiped out. Yet, no one calls out the man Patterson who is responsible for the increase in shootings and murders in Miami-Dade County.
Yesterday the Mayor and Commissioners met with Director Ramirez. Even during the Hearing, the Director was faced with the hard questions and criticisms, but JD Patterson was not standing by his side as the Chief Public Safety Officer.
While you guys come on this site to debate each other about work or don't work, this Patterson guy is collecting a large 6 figure salary to do absolutely nothing. The entire Department should be calling for JD Patterson's resignation. He never was pro-cop to began with.
WHY ISN'T THE PBA CALLING OUT JD PATTERSON for what he created when he destroyed all of the proactive units. Who suggested to get rid off HQ'S GANG UNIT????
A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE AND FULL PROTEST SHOULD BE MANDATORY AGAINST JD PATTERSON.
He receives almost 14, 000 a month for retirement. In addition approved 239,000 a year of tax payers dollars.
Tell this to the late Sandra Wilson who was shot multiple times by MDPD Officer Leon Storr, who was Patterson's good friend. She went to Patterson for help prior to the shooting. Instead of notifying PCB or Domestic Crimes Unit, and relieve Officer Storr of his duties, Patterson protected Storr, only talked to him, and did not take his FIREARM or credentials.
She reported domestic violence to then Division Chief JD Patterson. Yet just like John Jenkins, Officer Storr was protected.
Officer Storr shot Sandra Wilson several times and killed her, afterwards he shot and killed himself.
THIS IS THE PUBLIC SAFETY LEADER?????
Read the case:
WILSON v MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
It all there folks. How he became Director or Chief Public Safety Officer is really the QUESTION!!!!
WHY IS THE PBA NOT DEMANDING PATTERSON BE FIRE?????
