The Piercing Truth

This is right from the dictionary and seems to describe Albuquerque, Berry and Schultz. Fascism (f ash ,izem) noun An authoritarian right wing system of government and/or social organization. (in general use) extreme right wing, authoritarian, chauvinistic and/or intolerant views or practices. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one group over another, national, ethnic, especially social strata or monetarily; a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

Rumors

The dust had barely settled before the first rumors about the new Berry administration began flying. The first one - spread by none other than Joey Sigala, Segalla, Sagala - is that Ray Schultz is staying.

First of all, the sun is barely up the day after the Berry victory and our Eyes tell us that not a lot of thought has gone into the transition. The campaign's focus was on reaching and exceeding 40% - which they did last night. There simply hasn't been time to address the transition. That changes today.

Second, Ray Schultz intervened on behalf of The Almighty Alcalde in the final two weeks of the campaign using APD as a political tool. Our Eyes tell us that there was no shortage of outrage over at the Berry campaign and that Ray's neck is on the chopping block.

Look... Mayor-Elect Berry (that sure has a nice ring to it) won't meet with The Almighty Alcalde until noon today. No doubt internal discussions are underway and we'd bet that a "Thank You for your Service But it's Time to Go" list is under development. Very few people will be privy to those discussions and we're quite sure that Joey Sigala, Segalla, Sagala isn't one of them.

schultz would set berry up to fail and chavez be keeping notes for next mayor race. berry isnt that stupid to see the writing on the wall for all that.

Though I do not support Schultz, it worries me that DC Calloway (sp) could be in line to the throne. Too many times we have rejoiced at the prospect of getting rid of a chief only to be disappointed with his replacement. In regards to the union, there seems to be a whole lot of 'newb' boneheads in 'rep' and board positions. I'm sure thre will be a venomous "nobody else attends the meetings" rebuttal.

Congratulations to Mayor Elect Berry and all the folks that helped put him there. He's got a mess on his hands--can you imagine having to wade thru all the garbage and duplicative positions that need to go for example: duplicative management positions/directors/assistant directors/deputy directors/assistant deputy directors/deputy chiefs/officers that aren't really officers but ride a desk all day/on and on and on.....

Anonymous said...

Calloway could apply fot the Chief's job if he so pleases, but he's not by any stretch next in line. With a change in political parties, I fully expect a national search for a new Chief. To simply resign yourself to promote from within is foolish.

Anonymous said...

First and foremost, Joey Sigala is an idiot! Don't listen to anything he has to say. he has no clue. He had his head so far up Chavez' ass, he could taste what Chavez had for breakfast. With a new administration, one needs to look at how poorly that Union is run, they suck!

Second, we have good people working on APD, so you can promote from within or a retired guy. You just need to ask the rank and file and they will tell you who the good supervisors are. Looking to the outside for a chief never works for an organization, especially if the guy comes from a smaller dept. They don't know who the supervisors are and don't understand the dept, city or its culture. Gerald Galvin was a good example. it takes years to learn. That's why NMSP hires only from within. A Chief, to be effective, must know the history of the supervisors he works with. Look back in history, every outsider that was hired has failed, not that Schultz has done any better, but Schultz should have never been a Chief to began with. Marty and Bakas just brought him in to cover up the Evidence Room mess Gallegos created. Schultz did exactly that and contines to cover up Marty's illegal acts.

Just wait and see people. You officers need to contact Berry and voice your opinions. For heavens sake, don't let your union do it! They are just in it for their own self interest. Don't believe me, look at all your recent past Union Presidents. All still connected to Marty.

Anonymous said...

Congratulations to Mayor Berry. He should clean house and get rid of all the corruption within city government. He could trim the budget by getting rid of the Chief Public Safety Officer’s job. That job was created by Marty Chavez so his buddy Nick Bakas could double dip. He needs to restore honesty and integrity back to the Albuquerque Police Department and that can only been done by getting rid of Chief Shultz and the entire 5th floor.

Mayor Berry in so many words said that both Chiefs will be gone, and it's about time. I see some resignations coming up soon. And of course there will be some DC's kissing butt and that would be a smart thing to do. Will it help? Who knows, I am with the above post, he will take the serach nationally more than likely, there's obviously too much corruption from within. Oh well, good riddens, and hope if was all worth it!

Calloway, Murray Conrad, Levi all supported Marty and Berry is aware of that. I am a Democrat that worked Berry's camp just to get rid of Chavez. I know of several people who worked Romero's so that he would split the vote. We just wanted Chavez out! If Berry promotes from within he will be hated by the police department.

Ray Schultz, Gil Gallegos, Sam Baca. I see what you mean. Promoting from within is sooooooooooo much better than doing a national search.

He needs to get rid of all (which is most) of the directors that have no clue about the departments they are in. One that comes to mind is Greg Payne. The guy never had a "real" job. OK, maybe sold some insurance before being placed in that position, but that's it. They need someone who has run a transit organization successfully for years. The list goes on.

The City workers (civil servants, etc...) broke with their Union in order to support Romero. The City workers made a statement that their Division leaders needed to go! There were several strikes the last four years under Marty Farty. RJ Berry would be wise to replace all the Division heads as a way to stop potential strikes from the city workers. Starting fresh is what new leaders do!

I would love to see an entirely new administration! I really want to see an administration that supports law enforcement's rank and file. Someone who does not find it necessary to throw their people under the bus or to the wolves. Someone who will stand up to the media, criminal and liberal whiners. Someone who stands up for and support the hundreds of HARD working officers working to make the city safer. Officers need a Chief of Police that restores the pride in being a police officer.

I believe there are a few very good CAPTAINS (Paiz, Banks, Geier) and they should be considered for the higher posts. That is not to knock those CAPTAINS not mentioned. However, some were promoted on the backs of those they beatdown. Some are stuck in rank, refuse to leave, because their rank is their identity. A few have been limited by the administration above them. I would like to see the new mayor look at the leaders and supervisors supported by the officers. I would like to see the service records be a major factor in the decision making process. A lieutenant who has not worked as a patrol officer in the field, a patrol sergeant, or a patrol lieutenant should NEVER be promoted to CAPTAIN. She will never know the job, just what she read about the job in a book.

I would like to see APD officers move away from the APOA and hire the Teamsters. Put the officers back in the field. While were filling Field Services...put the mayor's detail back in uniform. Shake out the closets and get the majority of the officers in uniform. That would allow the much loved 4-10 work schedule to be fully staffed. Does the department really need officers working in the computer tech field? Perhaps getting trained professionals there would be a smarter way of getting it done. Does APD need a sex offender detail when BCSO is the one tasked with the job? Does APD need a FAST unit that does not hand domestic violence cases....except the "high profile" ones...? While I'm there...Does APD need Sgt. Paul Szych? Not fit to lead a Field Squad, but hidden away in a detective unit. Much like Sgt. Mike Swanson. Does APD need a white collar crimes unit staffed by 3 detectives? Crimestoppers...does it require sworn officers? Could not civilians note the tips and forward to the detectives? Point being...a complete audit of personnel allocation needs to be completed.

The only reason Paul Heh should be on the 5th floor is to drop his retirement paper. Most of us still remeber Galvin and things are still being fixed that he broke. Hiring a Chief from outside is insanity...doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result....There are qualified candidates within APD. As for corruption...there is none at APD. The department is far from perfect but corrupt is way off the mark. New Mayor..new attitudes toward your own department instead of all the dissention...new start.

I pray that Berry finds all the right people for the jobs he needs to fill. Once this is done, all of you need to get behind the new Chief and get busy with police work. Too much energy is expended watching for the enemy within. Barry is an honest man and will not target anyone! The DC's are done so you can focus on your jobs without worrying about the good old boy network and Marty's guys. Berry knows who they all are. Keep up all the good work APD, you troops are outstanding and we, the public, never blamed you for the inept leadership there.

Here is what is horrific. When women went to Marty Farty and his administration or to APD about domestic violence.... sadly, it was never investigated for those women. When those victims families went to Marty Farty, his administration and APD, sadly not investigated... The reason was simple.... those in control and who had power had their own injunctions, restraining orders... so didn't feel compassionate about
other people and often felt that answering questoins that would help the female might lead to the their own demise in their own mind because were male.

I don't want to see another 11 female skeletons being dug up five or six years from now because RJ Berry didn't clean up the city with all the corruption.

What Berry needs to do is get rid of all the city workers that have criminal records. Then go for a professional look. No more gang hankies hanging from the rear-view mirror of city vehicles. They have been issued city uniforms, paid for by the taxpayers, they need to wear it properly.

Get control on all the employees on FMLA. That would increase the work force.

Get managers/supervisors who are productive and get rid of the lazy non productive ones. There needs to be a study done on what managers/supervisors do and if they are needed. This includes the HR employees.

Those Department heads under Marty Farty are a bunch of minions that carried out a horrific will against many females and kept many females from participating in their local politics and government, so bad that National people got involved.

Local politics can only remain local politics until those in charge committ such deplorable actioins that the behavior can't be corrected on the local level because of too much corruption, so needs to be corrected Nationally.

That's why I hope to begin a Domestic Violence Foundation that gets donations and helps the female in court that lacks money, status, connections which would protect her against corrupt APD, corrupt local politicians, corrupt local department heads and corrupt leaders.

Yeah! Lorenzo Montoya who worked at the Print Company as a Manager was very politically connected, had children, was productive and produced for his bosses. Yet, Lorenzo Montoya committed horrific, deplorable actions against females. He went to court and his family brought his children and the female who lacked status, lacked money had her case against him dismissed. His political buddies threatened the female that she would have a restraining order filed on her. Her calls to the Mayor marty farty went ignored as Marty Farty thought too much of his own deplorable actions against women and couldn't have compassionate. Though never officially proven that Lorenzo Montoya had killed 11 women and buried their bodies on the West Mesa and no court documents against Lorenzo Montoya thanks to Lorenzo producing children to the Judge...... Lorenzo only lived 1.6 miles away from where the bodies of the 11 females were buried.

I heard Marty Farty told the female that kept calling the Mayor to report abuse about Lorenzo Montoya was threatened to have her liberty taken for bothering the Mayor.

Mr. Berry, do not appoint anyone to Chief who was a Marty supporter, you will be burned. Also, eliminate the Public Safety Director position. It was created for one reason, and one reason only: TO GIVE NICK BAKAS A JOB IN EXCHANGE FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE GREEK BUSINESS COMMUNITY!

I know it's not true about a Marty statue, but I can picture the officers at APD tearing it down "Saddam style". Anybody bragging about the Mayor's detail has no clue. Like so many inside units they need to be shipped out and forced to do some police work. I'm not discrediting the detectives that work, just the lazy ones. Everyone knows which units work.

Hey, where's 'Boogie man'?

Sick him after "Nasty man"

A statue of Marty? That should be easy. Just make a 4 ft.11 inch plaster paris mold of a dildo.
Walla !! Marty Chavez.

Then again, "Nasty man" Nick will just steal it and put it in his 'Bakus' yard with all the other stolen statues of naked greek gods and bare breasted women.
"Nasty Man", you sure are nasty.

How can you be on the Mayor’s detail and turn the other cheek? When you turn the other cheek you become one of them (a crook with a badge and gun). Bring Honesty and Integrity back to APD. Get rid of all those lying bastards on the 5th floor too…

This is a hoot!
"Nasty man", "Boogie man"
"Dildo Marty" (statue).
The fifth floor cost these people their jobs, and for good reason.
They have nothing to be proud of.
New guy; don't be fooled by the ONE protecting & defending these creatons. He's a plant to keep at least one in power.
Choose one of your own to run this PD.

"choose one of your own"
Damn good advice for the new Mayor.
Don't be influenced by the one who's got your ear. He doesn't have your best interest. Just Ray's.
When the cock crows three times,You'll know.
Just ask Marty.

Talk smack all you want about Paul Heh. At least he has 'a set' to stand up for what is right.
Those who have critized him here are cowards.
RJ Berry is not stupid and naive.
He will soon find out who the Judases are among him.
EA,GP,RS,DW,MC,KM,MC; Just to name a few.

Murray Conrad,,,,does that guy know he violated federal law. The Hatch Act prohibits him from using his title and profession to politically endorce Marty Chavez on the radio station like he did.

He Better hope know one goes after him for that. Nothing worse than a cop who does not know the law!

DC Castro's just like Captn Debuck. They back everyone and are loyal to none! Those guys will stab in back faster than you can say police chief! The troop hate the DC and can't wait until he is gone! he's corrupt.

I heard the city budget is in such shambles that to avoid layoffs, future raises (like the APOA) are going to be postponded or reneogotiated so that the new mayor can try to avoid laying off any employees.

Can anyone with the APOA comment on this? I know police departments all of the nation are doing the same so they don't have to lay off officers. What is the truth with APD?

DAVE YOUNG FOR CHIEF!

Anonymous said...

Its true, I heard from a department head that the city is facing a big time budget crisis.

Anonymous said...

Would this be the same APOA commenting that shut down it's website to further isolate itself from officers? No one knows what the hell is going on with them, and that's the way the board likes it. That's how they make a deal with Marty. If things are done behind closed doors, it's because only a few benefit and they don't want you to know. The APOA only makes its voice heard, and that's to endorse someone that will benefit the board. Finally it backfired.

"Leave the Mayors Detail guys alone. Other then Louie, they were hand selected because of their training background, and skills."

You must be crazy they don't do anything. You don't need a sergeant and several detectives to work the detail this is just a bunch of BS and OT hounds. If that many detectives are needed then they should work in shifts hes the mayor no the president of the united states. Why is there a need for a sergeant are you trying to tell us we need the first two officers that worked this detail back because now they need a squad I know its really hard to fill shoes. please!

Anonymous said...

You guys are knuckleheads the APOA is not getting a raise they negotiate the contract for APD sworn officers they are getting a raise. So please AFD stop your rumors, its a done deal and any way can you please tell Joey how many pipe men you really have and then let him know many drivers and how much $$$ they get, you do have twice the amount of drivers than pipe men. Most pipe men just got out of the AFD academy and are on some type of probation unless they just cant move up due to they are clueless.

You know how Loiue Sanchez got on the mayors detail? Because he is a lying, back stabbing sack of donkey poop, so he fits in well.

Randy McWilliams said...

What in the hell does AFD staffing have to do with this story about an APD civilian employee playing uncertified non commisioned Detective that was going around violating womens rights, and lieing to the Courts?

Don't get me wrong. Us in the non Public Safety arena have heard about AFD's troubles i.e. (DWI) but come on all of AFD's troubles pales in comparrison to APD's troubles. I'm not even going to quantify the statement with examples because we have all either watched it on the news, heard it on the radio or read it in the paper.

So I ask again what was the purpose of taking a shot at AFD?

One has to be on guard and leary of those who try and deflect and distract to put the attention elsewhere. It makes me wonder what we don't know, haven't heard or yet to discover over there at APD.

Come on APD... Every single one of you Officers are better than this.

Ray Schultz is dirty and the troops all hate him and his entire 5th floor.

They must be replaced to restore trust and intergrity to APD.

Anonymous said...

Remember Mayor Berry, all Marty's CAO's and Directors are going to tell you how important they are and nobody can fill their shoes and no one knows what theey know.

Remember, a good leader has trained his subordinates to take his place. Also, many coming up the ladder have already learned what the bosses duties are so, when the time comes, they too can take over.

So when these directors of Marty's tell you they can't be replaced, It's BS. Everyone can be replaced and the city will not skip a beat! People are just waiting to have the chance to perform.

Honest, smart people that are not loyal to Marty.

Ron H, we need you! Cut your hair, get out of that cigar shop and come back home

The January pay raises have already been allocated.

The APOA website is not shut down. Word was put out months ago about the updated sight. It's been published in the blotter, on the bulletin boards and in the newsletter. Geez, your investigative skills suck. I hope you are not a 34 with APD.

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah Ron H. would be a great choice - nothing like a 22 year history of being disciplined for laziness to make us feel confident.

Sadly that's commentary on many that rise above Lt.... once you get into the appointed ranks the guys who never left the coffee shop (or in his case put down the game-boy he kept in his car)are the guys who had time to politic and who never had a complaint because they naver did a damn thing.

Anonymous said...

Everyone's trying to get Berry's ear and give him their 2cents--come on folks, he didn't just roll in on the pumpkin truck--he knows what needs to be done and he will do it. It might not be what you all want, but he will do what he needs to in order to put this "house of cards" that was once city hall back in order. We all need to remember that we voted him in and our support for him doesn't end at the voting booth.

Anonymous said...

Ron H is an idiot, let him stay retired smoking stogies. There is noone on the 5th floor that will make a good chief and they all need to retire. All of them!! Candelaria...please, more of the same BS. Beth and Alan I can see as DC's, but not enough experiance to be chief. To the poster that mentioned Mike Geier as a chief, thats about the smartest idea Ive seen in this whole rumors post. He is more intelligent and has more experiance that Ray will ever have, is a real cop and a great supervisor. Please put your hat in the ring Mike because you can make a differance in this dept and bring back morale, ethics, pride and honor.

Anonymous said...

If we wont real leadership and someone thats going to support the troops for chief, thats MIKE GEIER! If you look at his resume no one even comes close to what he would bring to the table...

Will Berry bring back "COPS"???

Anonymous said...

Berry needs to clean house at Municipal Development. Investigate the department and get rid of:
Mike Riordon
Dolores Gomez and Diane Kimberly
That's one way to improve moral and the performace of the department.

Will the new mayor need a security staff? Will the old Mayor have to hire retired police officers for his own protection now? Would they be considered double dipper?

I hope the Mayor Berry will look hard at the Citys Fleet Mis-managment, If Fire can do their own work why can't we, please Mayor Berry bring back the Police Garage.

Anonymous said...

I agree with the above poster, Chief Schultz must leave if honor intergrity, and morale is to be restored to APD. We do have a few Commanders that would make a great Chiefs, just give anyone of them a shot, they will be fine. All the Commanders and Lt's will hit the ground running without Chief Schultz and his DC's. They all know what's going on in the dept and could really takes us forward. Chief Schultz has been holding this dept back with his 1980's thinking. He needs to go.

You who want Darren seriously need help. Take a look at his "record" at BCSO and I'm not talking about how many times he was pushing Greg Marcantel out of the way of the camera. The troops hate him over there... if he becomes your chief, good luck. Darren is a politician from deep in his soul.not a COP.

There used to be a whole website dedicated to Greg Payne. It was taken down just before he became Director of Transit. It was gregpayneoffenses.com. Showed all his arrest records and restraining orders. ALL AGAINST WOMEN!! As a woman, I hope Mayor Berry gets rid of slimeballs like him. We're tired of being treated as second class citizens at City Hall.
