Common sense - or what passes as common sense - seems to have broken out on The 5th Floor. Our Eyes tell us that Chief Schultz has sent the Reserve-Gate "investigation" back to IA for investigation.
Seems that the finding that no one involved at anytime did anything wrong just didn't look so good when a few moments on Google would reveal any number of violations that make exonerating Young, Hudson, and Smith next to impossible to believe.
Originally, the plan was to slide Hudson and Smith back into SID quietly and under the cover of the transition. Of course once their plan was revealed, they couldn't very well go through with it - particularly based on what can only be considered questionable findings.
This is just one more indication that The 5th Floor is incapable of policing itself. The Chief and his DCs work first to hide problems rather than fixing them. Of course the cover-up needs to be hidden too. Before long you spend all of your time hiding screw-ups, petty corruption, and even criminal behavior all because politics has become the number one priority of your police force.

The Lt investigating it wants to be a Commander real bad, what did you expect. Also, he has no investigative experience. he has never worked any real investigations other than this.
Ray Schultz and his Deputy Chief's are corrupt.
We hope Mayor Berry does the right thing and gets rid of everyone of them.
Mayor Berry, Sheriff White is very good friends with Ray Schultz and may try to talk you into keeping him, but please talk to the officers that work around this stuck up arrogant chief. We all want him gone! He has no intergrity or honesty.
Please don't let politics save Schultz from being let go.
Schultz is trying to save face and survive try to be the good guy so when he looks for another job, he can say he re-tooled the reserve program because it was broken and no one knew it. Oldest game in the book and you know what, no one cares because he is outttttaaaaa here. Him and all his BOYZ, mccabe, castro, calloway, bowdich (i need a nap) hudson, smith and every other cronie i missed.
I hope politicians don't try to save Chief Ray! He is Marty's boy and when Marty runs again in 4 years like he said he will do, he will want to keep some of his people in place. RJ Berry needs to be careful with ABQ Politicians, they're out just for themselves. RJ, make the decisions yourself, don't trust ABQ Politicians, as they have other motives, and not your best interest at hand. You have been in Santa Fe, you know what they can do. Be careful.
Geier for chief are you crazy? he is so far up schultz ass it isn't even funny. Berry surround yourself with SMART people you can trust not because they are your friends. Look at Mccabe, Hudson, Geier, they didn't do shcultz any good. But I bet they had a lot of fun off duty since they are such good friends.
Correct me if I am wrong but there is a section in the SOP that says a supervisor has to supervise otherwise it’s called “Failure to Supervise”. Officers have been disciplined for a lot less. If the shoe fits wear it. I am sick and tired of the double standards and the do as I say not as I do policy of the 5th floor. What ever happen to leadership by example? There is a lot of rank in APD but very few leaders. Remember folk’s people in glass houses should not throw rocks you bunch of hypocrites.
It's been said many times over; the fifth floor spends 90% of it's time visiting in bull sessions trying to come up with ways to cover things up.
Mr. Berry, "Tear down this wall".
ANY advise that says anyone up there should stay will be a colosal mistake.
What is right is right and what is wrong is wroing. Police officers enforce the law not break it. So some of you that defend Youngs actions are saying that as long as the end result is good it is ok? So I take it you are ready to go down that slippery slope. He was a reserve and was not operating within the law so in other words.he was breaking the law!!!! Rob Smith and Joe Hudson as supervisors have an obligation to the department and the community to abate illegal and unethical behavior. Did they do that when they received those emails from Young. Was he questioned about it, was he sent to pysch services to help with his anger or personal problems. Whatever the case is they had an obligation to act so did they? The Chiefs pick and choose what regulations they follow and in the end the city usually pays out as the result of the numerous lawsuits that involve the police department. That includes in house claims as well as claims by the citizens. The current administration of the police department seems to be unfit and a change is needed.
When you are biased, it is hard to really be focused or concerned about the safety of anyone. The system of justice no longer seems to apply (you just bend the rules to make everything okay). You find yourself in denial (…I'm doing the right thing even though I’m really only here to collect a pay check). Integrity means something different than honesty, truthfulness, honor, reliability, or uprightness. While covering up your mistakes through lies and deceit, you become a worse criminal than the people you are arresting. A friend told me once, “If you give someone a badge, some authority, and a gun, you need to watch them like a hawk”. I’m beginning to understand what he means.
Mayor-Elect Berry,
Please understand that many officers went and voted for you, because they were told the 5th floor would be disbanned. The morale is at an all time low with this dept. Never before have so many officers been vocal about voting Chavez out. The only reason the APOA endorsed Marty, was because of intimidation. Marty made it clear to the PAC that if he was not endorsed, the dept. would pay. AND THAT IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM MARTY!
Please, Berry, trust in us as we have trusted in you. Get rid of Ray and the 5th floor. You will see the dept. come back full circle.
A lot of posts are from the rank & file. Lots of messages directed to the new mayor. Messages that are pretty right on regarding the weasles in charge. Funny thing; not a single comment defending Ray or Darren. Cops know him(DW) far too well. He's not a cops cop and will hurt your administration.
He will undercut anyone to protect Schultz. One really has to wonder why.
Mr Berry,
" Red sky at Morning...........
Mr. Mayor Elect,
Don't let the (DW) endorsement and his meddeling in your administration be the end of your political career. You were doing just find with good honest people around you and would have won this election with out him. Be a watchful sheppard and don't be fooled or allow good people to be eaten by the wolf in sheeps' clothing.
P. Dunsworth said a cheif and the command staff are responible for what their troops do.
I agree with all the comments except for the one about APOA felt like they had to ensore Chavez. WTF BS were all grown men and women and Joey and board you guys made that decision. Who followed Chavez to all his PR stuff for the election, did he make you guys do all that too. Don't be grouping all of us with you, that is so obvious that came from an APOA Rep. As far as I am concerned the APOA and the board made its bed and you gotta sleep in it now. I learned a long time ago that this department will eat you up and if you don't stand up for yourself, well you have no one to blame but yourself.
If you are going to let the Mayor intimidate you I think you need a new line of work.
A perfect example of a two way street is the tint on the Police cars. We all had to remove the dark tint so I drove down the ramp today, all the 5th floor vehicle have super dark tint. You need to be fair and lead by example. Oh what am I saying its APD
Mayor berry, please remove Chief Schultz and all his deputy Chiefs. This Department needs a clean new start. We have plenty of well qualified people to lead us into the future.
Please sir, get rid of Chief Schultz!
I want to see Geraldine Amato for Chief. I think she would be good for you guys & gals over there at APD. I'm going to go talk to RJ about it.
If the APOA is too chickenshit to stand up and vote their conscience, and not their paycheck then send'em packing! When I signed up to be a cop it wasn't for the pay. I'm glad I'm not longer associated with the APOA, though PD (and SO) has many good troops.
The APOA wasn't intimidated they loved Marty. Darren has his head so far up Rays A%^* that he knows what Ray had for Dinner. Don't be fooled, just look at Darren's history. I am a Republican and I will help any candidate that Darren run against!!!
APOA elected by those in blue. Your vote your people.
DAWNE ROBERTO FOR CHIEF!
Haaaa. Darren is the new Chief Public Safety officer. Here we go again
who is dawne roberto?
Mayor Berry, please talk to the officers in the field and you will see that we do not want Chief Schultz to stay!
We need a chief with some intergrity!
WOW
Some great choices for Commander,,,,,Sheriff White must have had in hand this one, as the only Schultz person in there was the Lt who headed up the SID case and found nothing wrong! Nice payback Schultz.
Schultz and cronies must go, we don't trust them, and for good reason, they lie!
Dawne Roberto is a 34....pretty damn good cop. Don't think she'd make a good chief, though.
And hey, all you Darren White bashers...at least Berry didn't make him CHIEF!!
can we get a new P.I.O. while ur cleaning house?
Mayor Berry, Please give us back our POLICE garage, before one of us get killed. The butchers at pino and 6th street are killing our fleet.
Don't worry about a new PIO, JR will pick some with class!
Please, pick a PIO who HASNT slept with Bill Henz, Ed Sauer (that was when she was married).
ed saur & bill henz were married too? whats the big deal if she cheated on her husband? they all deserve eachother.
dawne roberto? for chief? OMG! she can't even take care of her kids much less be the chief!
Beth Paiz should be Chief.
John Walsh slept with Henz and Sauer???? When did this happen??????
to the above Anonymous:
I will post my name---Dawne Roberto. I think the whole "for chief" thing is hilarious, give me a break. I have said this to a lot of people, i would make a terrible supervisor, and that is the funniest thing to even suggest Chief. I cant even pass the Sgt's test, and I am truly happy being in the field! To say "I cant take care of my kids, two words-- FUCK YOU! If you knew anything about me, you would know they are my top priority. I shouldnt even waste time responding to a piece of shit like you, but UNLIKE you, I have the courage to sign my name and unfortunately you COWARD, I cant confront you face to face. Spend five minutes with my children and you will see they are a couple of the most disciplined, respectful children you will ever meet.
Let me give you an example (not that you deserve it, but what the hell)
I chose graveyard for one reason, I am here everynight to see them to bed, I am here every morning to wake them up. I work during the day when they are in school. When my children were younger, i would literally get one or two hrs of sleep (if i was lucky) because i had to drive them to school, pick them up, go to court, make dinner, etc.
I have raised my children to respect people. For example, any service member (young or old) who are wearing a hat (you know the decorative types with the pins) or uniform (class A or whatever), they have to go to them, shake their hands and say "thank you for your service". They do that without being told, and on their own, and they enjoy doing so. Im very proud of them for that.
I also take care of a disabled mother. Thankfully, my two children help me with her as well. We go on vacations (out of the country) every year. Before we leave, my children tell me what they researched about the places we are going, I want them to learn and not just experience. My sons refuse to take money for chores, when I try to paid them- their response was "family doesnt pay to be a part of a family".
Dont get me wrong, my children arent perfect, but sit with them for a few minutes, you will probably learn a thing or two.
So for you, you asshole I challenge you to call me, you know how to get my number (ask any substation, dispatcher, etc) and why dont you tell me face to face I dont take care of my kids. Speaking of taking care of kids, your mother should be ashamed she raised such a fucking coward.
Ill be waiting for your phone call, but I wont be holding my breath.
(P.S.if you need any references in reference to my children, you can ask just about anyone who knows them)
Proud mother of two,
Dawne Roberto
Your bad mouth says a lot about you Ms. Roberto.
above poster "anonymous @ 0907hrs" shame on you! if you were being attacked on your parenting skills i highly doubt you'd be using your best sunday language!!
dawne, don't worry about what people say on here. nothing but cowards!!!
Any of the Noobs from 103 would make a better Chief than most of you, because they haven't lost their minds yet. Stop blogging ya weenies.
wow dawne! way to scare me too! but you're awesome either way. It was probably one of your old recruits that said that. Or, they act like they're still a recruit anyway. So.. Berry is mayor, wow.
Who ever said that Dawne dose not take care of her kids...NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS BUT SHE IS A GREAT MOM! You need to stay off your mothers computer before you get grounded and get a life!
I have to say the ignorance of the poster that
talked about dawnes kids is pathetic. I used to work with her. Her kids are awesome. She is not only one of the hardest working officers but is also one of the hardest working mothers. In terms of language, oh yeah she's pissed but consider yourself lucky she could throw you on the ground and make you shit yourself. Hagar.
Dawne Roberto's ghetto rant of profanity just makes the case of her ciritics.
Geeze that guy must have been turned down for a date by Mrs. Roberto....saying that about her and her mothering skills. The guy probably still lives at home with mom and dad, mooches off them because he has no life. He really needs to find another hobby then bashing on people who are too good for him.
Why is it always the losers who get turned down by a hot chick always have to bash them? She was to good for Mr. and now he has to talk about her and her kids...seriously move on to someone else who is gonna turn you down as well...lol
Not only did john walsh do bad things but so did his son. apparently his son was throwing parties and serving booze to high school kids. I.A. investigated it and found him at fault, but schultz overode I.A.'s reccomendation to fire him, and the whole investigation was quietly sewpt under the carpet. True story. sad but true.
Dawne Roberto cheats on her husband when he was serving in the military. OOOOOhhhh yeah shes a GREAT example for her kids. She has a really nice house thanks to the United States Marine Corps. Who ever says she is great, is most likely a room mate. Roberto = whore in my book.
Ditto to the above comment, couldn't have put it better.
And bosque farms pd made her a sgt......what a joke
