WAKE UP CHIEF...

SEVERAL OF THE NEWLY PROMOTED individuals ARE CREATING A HATFIELD AND MCCOY ATMOSPHERE. THEIR RANKS HAVEN'T EVEN BROKEN IN YET, AND THEY'VE CREATED MORE ENEMIES FOR THEMSELVES, AND PITTED OFFICERS AGAINST EACH OTHER MORE THAN ANY THREE FROM THE PREVIOUS REGIME. YOU'RE PROBABLY SAYING TO YOURSELVES THAT "IT'S JUST A FEW BAD APPLES" WRITING INTO THESE MESSAGE BOARDS. AND YOU ARE PROBABLY CONVINCED THAT THERE REALLY IS NO PROBLEM. THE PAINFUL TRUTH IS THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE THESE HYPOCRITES COUNSELING OFFICERS ON THINGS THAT THEY THEMSELVES WERE THE WORST VIOLATORS OF. IT STARTED TO LOOK LIKE WE WERE GONNA HAVE AN EXCELLENT COMMAND STAFF WHEN THE OLD REGIME BEGAN TO PETER OUT. BUT LITTLE BY LITTLE, CERTAIN PEOPLE WERE PROMOTED AND THAT PICTURE IS BEGINNING TO FADE. NOW YOU HAVE SHEEP IN WOLF'S CLOTHING WITH A PAPER RANK SLAPPED ON THEIR SHOULDERS OR COLLARS. THEY TELL OFFICERS THINGS LIKE "DON'T PRESENT YOURSELF AS A NAIL BECAUSE I WILL HAMMER YOU" AND GIVE THE CLEAR FEELING THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU. NOW THAT THEY HAVE RANK, THEY FEEL THAT THEY HAVE TO USE MORE COMPLICATED WORDS THAT MAKE THEM "SOUND MORE INTELLIGENT". ARE THESE GUYS GIVEN AN UN-ABRIDGED DICTIONARY WHEN THEY GET PROMOTED? BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY SPEND MORE TIME TRYING TO FIND NEW COMPLICATED WORDS, RATHER THAN READING UP ON HOW TO LEAD.
I MUST SAY THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PROMOTIONS MADE IN THE PAST YEARS HAVE BEEN GOOD, AND WELL DESERVED. SOME WERE OFFICERS ON THE ROAD THAT REALLY DIDN'T PRODUCE STATS, BUT BECAME SERGEANTS THAT WERE VERY APPROACHABLE, AND WELL RESPECTED. OTHERS THAT WERE PROMOTED WERE REVERED AND ALREADY SEEN AS LEADERS. THIS MAJORITY IS STILL RESPECTED TO THIS DAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED. THE FEW IN QUESTION HOWEVER, WANT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING. THEY CONSTANTLY TELL YOU HOW TO DO YOUR JOB BETTER. HOW TO SHINE YOUR BOOTS. AND COMPLAIN TO the (CAPT) THAT A CERTAIN SHIFT DOESN'T WORK OUT.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS. IF YOU WANT LOYAL, HARDWORKING OFFICERS THAT LOVE TO COME TO WORK, SOMETHING NEEDS TO LOOSEN UP. HOW DO YOU GUYS LIVE WITH YOURSELVES KNOWING THAT YOU FEW, ARE NOT LIKED BY THE MAJORITY OF THE DEPARTMENT?

Quite comfortably, actually.

DON'T FORGET THAT SOME DAY YOU WILL BE RETIRED, AND THESE SAME OFFICERS YOU'RE TRYING TO SCREW WILL STILL BE COPS.

WHERE'S THE IDIOTS WITH THE QUICK REPLIES? PROBABLY "PERUSING" THEIR DICTIONARIES FOR NEW WORDS.
OR READING UP ON THE POLICIES TO SEE WHAT ELSE THEY CAN GIG US ON.

YOU WANT SOME REAL WORK? HOW ABOUT HANDING OUT AWARDS TO THOSE THAT HAVE EARNED THEM. NOT SLIMES THAT STOP EVERY SHADY LOOKING CAR THEY SEE WHILE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A CALL.
THIS METHOD OF SAVING ALL THE PAPERWORK UNTIL YOUR SHIFT IS OVER SO YOU CAN BANK MORE MONEY FOR THE OVERTIME, IS GOING TO BITE ALL OF US IN THE @$$ SOME DAY.
THANKS FOR LETTING IT GO ON SO LONG.

I SHOULD DO A JOHN KERRY MOVE AND THROW ALL MY AWARDS ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF THE P.D. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WOULD BE IS THAT HE'S A COWARD DEMOCRAT, AND HE NEVER EARNED THEM.
THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE PROVEN THAT YOU DON'T NEED A SPINE TO GET ONE. NOR DO YOU NEED TO SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE (I.E. PROLONGED DEATH AWARD OR OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE LIFE SAVING AWARD).
THE AWARDS COMMITTEE WILL TELL YOU THAT IT "HAS TO BE ABOVE AND BEYOND YOUR DUTIES". WELL MR TEXTBOOK, WHAT DO YOU CALL ALL THOSE B.S. MISDEMEANOR WEED ARRESTS WHERE THEY NOT ONLY PUT THEIR OWN LIVES IN DANGER, BUT THOSE WHO RESPOND AS BACKUPS AS WELL. WAY TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT ISN'T DO.
OH YEAH, AND THANKS FOR GIVING THE IDIOTS FROM HIALEAH SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.
