Such inquisitive minds we have here on this thread. It's nice to know we still have some bright officers in there. Leadership doesn't need a title. There are a few true leaders in LWPD. I could name a few. They are uniters. You don't see them complain. They protest in silent when in disagreement which makes the others and the ranks think. They see that it is essential to work together to come towards a common solution. They inspire their co-workers and always see an achievement done as a team. Now even writing this, you'll still have a cynic critize this post. We can conclude bickering and fighting got the department nowhere. How about we try working together now? Could we at least give it a shot?

Well said , however some have titles and they aren't good one's . The good leader's know who they are and need no intro. They are not the one's that talk behind one's back and think that the department couldn't run without them. these are the guy's that everyone look's up to and the other's are the one's that we all laugh at.

It's funny that now the D/C is retiring one Lt is so afarid that KW is the next D/C he does nothing but talk behind his back as if that will make a difference , stop bad mouthing other's and accept that KW is the best one for the job he will move the department in the right direction without using his position to go after other's so just grow up.

THE THING WE NEED MOST IS FOR 100 TO START TO CARE AGAIN, LIKE HE DID A FEW YEARS AGO BEFORE HE LET THE 6 OR 7 BAD APPLES GET TO HIM. IF 100 DOES NOT CHANGE THEN NOTHING WILL CHANGE AT ALL.
100, GET WITH YOUR LT'S AND GET SOME IDEAS FROM THEM ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CHANGE THINGS AROUND THERE SO THE TROOPS WILL WANT TO WORK HARD FOR YOU AGAIN LIKE THEY DID IN THE PAST.[/quote:3cp8tkj7]

No 100 lost all repect in the department when he allowed KP come betewnn him and his troops, he allowed her to control him and the department.[/quote:3cp8tkj7]


SHE DIDN'T CONTROL THE COPS.[/quote:3cp8tkj7]

YOUR CORRECT < BUT SHE CONTROLLED HIM AND HE MADE SOME VERY POOR JUDGEMENT"S ABOUT OTHER"S BECUASE OF IT.

What is next for the police department which has seen so much changes within the past couple of months?

Things are moving in a positive direction.

Things are moving in a positive direction.

What story book are you reading from ? The city has refused to sign over our great contract to the PBA unless we give up our right's to the back pay and drop our grevience's, we arrest person's for such a crime.
The city is forcing us to go back to the table and work out a new contract which will never be as good as the one we got now.


The only good new's we have is that the D/C is leaving, hey D/C please take the chief with you.

Things are moving in a positive direction.

What things are evidence of a positive direction?

1. The uncertainty of the PBSO merger is resolved. It's a damn shame the merger failed and we can spend the next six months blaming and whining about it, OR we can turn our attention to fixing our own dept.

2. The current D/C is retiring. We can trash his leadership, resent his retirement package, even wish him ill health as some have done on here, OR we can see this as an opportunity for real administrative leadership. and NO this is not Kenny's Mom writing! Whoever gets the job has to balance administrative priorities (cutting costs) and what we need to do the job we signed on for (getting the bad guys and getting back home at the end of the shift in one peice.)

3. We have a new union. Like it or not. We can trash the formers reps, trash the new reps, and trash the process for how it all came to be, OR we can understand that this union, or any union, is only going to be as good as our UNITY. If you don't believe aything else, believe that the administration is united and committed to cutting costs and that means reducing personnel, challenging pension and other benefits, and spending as little as possible to keep the APPEARNCE that crime is their first priority. Which brings me to last and maybe most positive indicator.

4. The public is fed up and getting vocal about their anger and fear. But few understand what it is we do and what we can't do and why. That's starting to change. Commissioners HATE phone calls from unhappy and frightened voters. Every encounter with the public is an opportunity to build public support.

Alright, the city is playing games with us by not signing off on the PBA. Yeah, they're doing their best to divide and conquer. So what? We have a contract and most of all we have a brotherhood. Pitting union against union goes absolutely nowhere if the membership is truly a united force. Let the PBA know that we will not sacrifice our grievance rights just to make a clean slate for future negotiations. Let each one be settled or not on it's own merit. And let's do a better job teaching rookies about brotherhood.

Do you think real professions have sites like this one to complain and embarrass themselves?

Dr.- affairs

or

Accountant - affairs

That's the shame of this type of site. Almost every negative or ridiculous post on the Lake Worth thread is coming from one guy and we all know who it is. The same guy who is constantly spreading rumors in the hall way. The same guy who caused us to have to switch unions because he turned it into a monarchy. Now he'll get on here and say I'm wrong and he'll do it several times under different screen names but his prose is always the same. It's also funny how the negative postings drop off when he is on vacation. I hope the people that read this site realize that everyone has a couple of these types and neither they nor the content on this site represent the department accurately. These "me" types don't realize the damage they do to the group when they act like children. In times where the public is complaining about funding our well deserved pensions and benefits a few idiots are on a blog acting like school kids. I guess anonymous "slams" make this person feel better about himself.
