One of the aspiring Sheriffs is Conrad Candelaria and he's getting support from one of the top APD cops - Deputy Chief, Michael Callaway. Candelaria is a Commander with the Albuquerque Police Department in charge of the Southwest Area Command.
It's no surprise that Candelaria is getting support from The 5th Floor Brass at APD. What is a surprise is that Deputy Chief Callaway decided voice his support by sending a letter of recommendation to each of the commissioners on the Bernalillo County Commission.
November 10, 2009We know what you're thinking... And??? The personalized letter was provided to each county commissioner on official APD letterhead - a potential violation of the Hatch Act (view the letter here).
Bernalillo County Commission
1 Civic Plaza
Albuquerque, NM 87102
Honorable Commissioners:
It is with great pleasure that I am offering this letter of recommendation for Commander Conrad Candelaria for appointment as the Sheriff of Bernalillo County. Conrad Candelaria is an experienced, executive-level law enforcement professional who possess the requisite knowledge, skill and capabilities to effectively lead the Bernalillo county Sheriff's Department.
I have known Conrad for the past twenty years as our careers have been parallel throughout the ranks of the Albuquerque Police Department. Under Conrad's leadership, the Albuquerque Police Department and the Westside community have built positive relationships and worked collaboratively to improve the quality of life within the community. Conrad has also been responsible for influencing, implementing and developing several strategic initiatives to effectively address problems and concerns. I am certain Conrad possesses a unique vision for the Bernalillo county Sheriff's Office to further the County's goals and objectives.
In summary, Conrad is a conscientious, dedicated, knowledgeable individual who has earned the respect of his community and criminal justice colleagues alike. Thank you for your consideration and service to the citizens of Bernalillo County.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Callaway
Deputy Chief of Police
Albuquerque Police Department
Prohibited ActivitiesBernalillo County Sheriff is a partisan elected position. The Bernalillo County Commission will be appointing or nominating the next Bernalillo County Sheriff. By sending a letter of recommendation to Bernalillo County Commissioners, Deputy Chief Callaway is using "official authority or influence to interfere with or affect the results of an election or nomination."
Covered state and local employees may not-
* be candidates for public office in a partisan election
* use official authority or influence to interfere with or affect the results of an election or nomination
* directly or indirectly coerce contributions from subordinates in support of a political party or candidate
Penalties for Violating the Hatch ActWe suspect that Commander Candelaria solicited Callaway's endorsement, but you never know. It's possible that DC Callaway was acting on his own initiative. Either way, there's something just plain wrong with campaigning for a law enforcement position using a letter of endorsement that clearly violates the law.
If the Merit Systems Protection Board finds that the violation warrants dismissal from employment, the employing agency must either remove the employee or forfeit a portion of the federal assistance equal to two years salary of the employee. If the Board finds the violation does not warrant the employee's removal, no penalty is imposed.
----- Update -----
We got so carried away with what appears to be a blatant violation of the Hatch Act that we completely forgot about other potential violations. One of our Eyes quickly reminded us of our omission, so... After a little digging we found that the Deputy Chief has indeed crossed at least one more line.
In addition to the Hatch Act, it appears DC Callaway has violated Administrative Instruction No. 7-19 - which contains a list of compaing no-nos.
B. Activities Prohibited No City Employee Shall:You might want to look at items 2, 9, and 12. Looks like Deputy Chief Callaway has some more splainin' to do.
1) Become a Candidate for any elective City office;
2) Actively campaign for or against a Candidate for any elective office while on duty or represent a Candidate while on duty. Volunteers assisting in City functions under the supervision or direction of City employees shall not campaign for a Candidate while performing such duties for the City; [emphasis added]
3) Receive, disburse or account for assessments, contributions or other funds for any Candidate;
4) Receive or offer to receive any money, gratuity or benefit from any candidate;
5) Wear on one's person political badges or buttons while on duty or while in a City uniform at any time;
6) Take either a position for or against any Candidate for elective office while representing either that such position is an official City position on such Candidate or that such position is taken in one's official capacity as a City employee;
7) Circulate nominating petitions within or on City property while on duty, at the place of one's employment or at any time or any place while in City Uniform;
8) Serve as an election judge or clerk in a City election;
9) Use any City-owned properly, equipment, supplies, vehicles or space either to campaign for or against a Candidate. [emphasis added]

12) Use the employee's position or status to influence the support of other City employees or City officials for or against any Candidate or issue. [emphasis added]
C.

Each City Employee is responsible for determining if Hatch Act prohibitions apply to his or her employment with the City.

What a surprise Callaway shows again to everyone that he doesn't know the rules and is stupid. But like most of the 5th floor he thank he can get away with anything and do what he wants. Does anyone know what kind of officer Callaway was? Just wondering.
Callaway thinks he is above reproach! This is just another example of the 5th floor playing king. This letter does shed light on why Conrad was kissing some serious A#* in front of the transition team. He isn't fit to be sheriff, remember Marty's tickets. I think the troll, I mean Calloway wants to be under sheriff. My bet is that the whole 5th floor will try and stay in government because they can't get a real job just like the last bunch of idiots who are now picking up brass at the range!!!
Can anyone post how to file a complaint with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.
he sucked as an officer!! He went inside after about a year because he was afraid of his shadow. He would whine about calls because he was super lazy! When I retire I'll give details of why he should have been fired years ago!
Conrad for sheriff? Are you kidding me! Calloway forgot to add this to his letter,
Conrad admitted on TV to committing a 4th degree felony by shredding Marty Chavez's tickets (as given by another officer), back in 2004.
Conrad has something less than an Honorable Dishcharge from the United States Army back in 2005. Rumor is he quit the Army right after boot camp. Hmmmm I do believe this country was at war when this happened. Quit the army during time of war, that is something to be proud of. Could this be why the US Marshall wouldn't take him? I wonder.
So knowing this I can't believe the county commission would take this guy.
Calloway should be investigated for lying to the County Commission by omitting these facts.
BCSO does not need any of these clowns from APD.
Any good lawyer can 'splain this away--sadly, just another rule broken and gotten away with by city officials and city administrators. It happens all too often in every city department not just @ APD. I'm burned out from giving a damn anymore.
Who will investigate this case internally at APD??
WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wher's 'Nasty man'?
This is crazy, lets see what the new Mayor does about this. Oh wait, I wonder if the Chavez team will step up to the plate and do their job for a change. The DC will get away with all this, the chief will just cover it up as always.
Mike Callaway is a douche bag. Did Conrad Candelaria go AWOL?? This is the kind of leadership APD has. The list goes on and on. What a joke of a department…
can anyone post the process to file a formal complaint with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.
Also, Capt DD you can stop sucking D*#^ on the 5th floor, your not getting promoted.
Well, Comdr Murry Conrad violated the Hatch Act when he advertised for Mayor Marty Chavez on 94 rock. Murry used his APD Cmdr title and they did nothing to him. What do you expect, it was for Mayor Marty. However, I don't think the Berry Camp will be to happy with him. Murry really wanted to be a Deputy Chief real bad and he thought Mayor Marty was his ticket.
How does one just leave the military after boot camp. I've never heard of it being done!
Joe Monahan has really been pushing Candelaria for Sheriff. The two are good friends. I wonder if Monahan will put this in his political blog?????????
He has never been a supporter of the officers in the field doing the work. Has has always gotten his excitement from sticking it to others. Behind the soft spoken exterior is someone that loves to exert his positional power onto those he is in charge of. That is exactly what rocks his boat. The real problem though is that he allows his personal feelings to enter his decision making instead of remaining objective and relying on facts. Anyone that has known him or worked with him for any amount of time knows this.
Keep in mind that Conrad's chances for other high ranking positions outside of APD keep fading day by day. Word is he is also eyeing one of the upcoming DC slots when the two leave next month. Kind of a fallback position. His Hallmark Card endorsement of Callaway and Schultz during the transition team meeting is an example of him doing a little CYA just in case.
Everyone should remember that this is the same Callaway that has had his hands in several internal cases where officers were terminated, but were eventually vindicated by either winning their jobs back, court settlements or both.
"This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.: The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save Us!"...: ...and I'll look down, and whisper, "No".:" Rorschach
Just more of the same corrupt, "I am above the rules and the law" by Conrad and Calloway and their crooks in badges! As a citizen, I will file a complaint with the Independant Review Board! These guys are unbelieveable, Conrad will never get elected, he has more baggage than samsonite!!
Nasty Man's alive and well with Greg Payne scouring the streets of Central, scank hunting.
"It was beautiful. Everybody got it right in the ass, from the chief on down." - Verbal Kent
To all those crooks hiding behind your office, your day is coming.
Is this the same Commander Canderlaria that was so very critical of Chief Schultz and the Deputy Chiefs over the years? Everytime we spoke to him he was bashing the 5th floor for their inability to lead. He said Chief Schultz and his DC's were all a bunch of incompetent morons and idiots!
So why did Commader Candelaria do such a 180 on his attitude towards Chief Schultz and the DC's. How do you go from totally despising the Chief and 5th floor, to a total endorsement in less than a month? It's a deal that DC Callaway will be Undersheriff should Commander Candelaria be able to pull this Sheriff's election off, payoff for an endorsement from the 5th floor. However, chances seem to be fading each day for that to happen.
"To all those crooks hiding behind your office, your day is coming."
No, their day isn't coming.
Clearly, you're not paying attention.
But perhaps if you post anonymously 12,467 more times, then maybe it will.
hah!
what a bunch of losers. I guess at this point, your butt holes are stretched out so much, it just doesn't sting as much as it used to.
To think, these guys want a political office. What will they do in office, if they're so bold now!
Its time for a change and we get some honesty, integrity, competency and not business as usual with the good old boys. We are behind the curve and rest of the Country in this, just like everything else in this State. Its time we entered the 21st Century.
It been said that much more will surface, as soon as this candidate makes the anouncement that he's officially running. Apparently, there are some major issues pending. It costs one job and looks as if may cost another job!
OUT WITH THE OLD!!!! IN WITH THE NEW!!!
Talk is cheap! Let's show by voting for the right person!
We don't need a Sheriff!!! We got Linthicum. He is the Sheriff's Department and he knows what is going on. Let the seat sit vacant for a year and it can be filled when the voters choose who they want! Dave can hold his title and be our figurehead.
CAN ANYONE SAY JAIL !!
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION WILL BE THE SAME. BERRY HAS TURNED IT OVER TO CAMPBELL & WHITE. POLITICALS RUNNING THE SAME GAME, SAME SHIT. NOTHING WILL CHANGE. WHO DID WE ELECT?
Conradhas had a stellar career. Get your facts straight you fools. BCSO needs a man of integrity. All 250 Deputies
"Conradhas had a stellar career. Get your facts straight you fools. BCSO needs a man of integrity. All 250 Deputies"
If you consider destroying Marty Chavez's parking tickets stellar, then you are a lost person. When you commit a 4th degree felony you should never be allowed to be a police officer after that. It is called personal integrity.
NO TO CONRAD! We want a person with INTEGRITY as Sheriff.
What we need is a female Sheriff somebody that rocks!
Yeah Right! Anything you say. I would bet you think Mayor Chavez and Chief Schultz are great too!
Look, I heard from a legit source that Sheriff Darren White cheated on his wife Jennifer with a School Teacher. Jennifer was pissed. Darren obtained a "bogus" restraining order against Jennifer because of his position and status with Chief Scultz. Keep Schultz as a Chief and I know Berry is corrupt!
Keep 500 feet from a Rape Crisis Center Berry, if you keep Chief Schultz as your Chief of Police!
8lkeje9oeme!!!! you Chief Sch3433././
Both Weiner and Schultz need to be voted out of office!
Ahhh.. Just love the smell of the Hatch Act in the morning.
Mike McEntee got butt banged by that Hatch Act shit.
Who's gonna push it forward against Calloway?
Gee, Conrad's real glad Calloway sent that letter now I'll bet.
All the good dirt will be coming out now. The girls too. Calloway the King maker; more like the deal killer or kiss of death.
Look, Darren White was separted from his former wife, Jennifer in 2000 and she filed a temporary domestic restraining order against him. Recently, in May 2009 the two divorced when (I heard) Jennifer caught Darren red handed cheating with a School Teacher having an affair (I heard). Darren got a bogus (in my opinion) restraining order against Jennifer recently in May 2009 and had in my opinion his buddy, Chief Schultz help him to do it. Google Darren White to see the case filed in May 2009 White vs. White.
Get rid of bozo's like that~ Berry had better not be stupid and threaten Jennifer with a Gag order. I don't Jennifer, but am friends with Darren... I say this because look, we need new blood and change in our City Government!
Just make sure that any person in Berry's admin doesn't have a bogus restraining order. Look, these bozo's shouldn't get away with making Mother Teresea into some kind of lunatic! Shame!
Big question, are you family friendly??????? We hear not at all!
Also, just post the honorable discharge on this site. Simple way to claer up the mess.
NMSP has a tape of who did who. It's also on the AG's investigation. Kelly told all, most where commander's and Chief's. Is your name on that list??????? I'll bet you scared it will come out! It will!
I thought her name was Janis.
Who's Jennifer, who's Janis?
Are we talking about two different wives?
Clear this up please.
I agree with whoever said Same old Shit with Berry. I already heard him lie on Channel 13 when he said he "his transition team spoke to employees" in cultural services. THey didn't they only spoke to Admnistration. Liar.
Ms Geraldine Amato for Sheriff.
There is no honorable discharge.
What we need is a fresh face from the outside to be appointed interim sheriff. It is time to break away from the same old corrupt good ol' boys that have been running both the APD and sheriff's department.
I can't believe the Chief's biggest critic is now the Chief's biggest kiss ass! Have you no shame.......We used to have respect for you.
I feel for the Sheriff's Dept when When Comdr Candelaria makes DC Calloway Undersheriff, hang on BCSO. Not that we won't be extremely happy to see him leave, we just won't wish that on anyone. The Cmdr has become very chummy with the 5th floor lately, to include Chief Schultz, someone he could absolutely not stand. Makes me wonder what the Cmdr is made of. How can you change your stance/view of anti- Chief Schultz and company so quick?
I agree that we need a change. Darren never looks or sounds like anything he says is really authentic. It always comes across as fake or staged. And Ray had his chance for the past five years and blew it. No one trusts these people.
Kharma is mother!
Life can be hard, when you have to take responsibility for your actions.
In my opinion, there are some Sheriff employees that couldn't say anything about their boss. After Darren White announced his resignation, then that allows more those in the know about Darren to get out exactly what he has done. For example, he said that he wants to make the West Mesa murders a priority, yet in his own Domestic Restraining Order filed on him by his former wife in 2000/2001 ....somehow Darren reconciled with his wife. In part of the Rhino story in breaking the silence, it is typical that the female gets "honeymooed" back by her spouse to avoid prosecution or a Domestic Restraining Order that is permenant.
No, Darren White based on his own actions with his former wife would not be fit for Public Safety Director.
Eye why won't you post the information about (plastic man) Darren White?
I did not know that Darrens G/F was a secret??
She posted about him on a social networking page when he got his new job.
Let them get on with their lives people -- jeeze
The last thing we want in the SO is someone that says one thing and does the opposite. We do not want your WS Capt Candelaria APD, you keep him. We have had 7 years of that BS already. We want a leader that's not afarid to make a decision, one that put's the dept and citizens first before himself. That does not sound like Capt Candelaria. Please, we will pass.
BCSO is a department that has always had a buch of rejects. The last 16 years have been better because the voters had gotten tired of the Gallagher types. Bowdich and White were both former APD and did a decent job making the county a more proffessional organazation. I live on the WS and think Candelaria has done a damn good job.
THIS WE WILL DEFEND!
CALLOWAY'S LETTER IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GOOD OL BOY SYSTEM AND BEING ALLOWED TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WHEN THEY WANT AND NO ACCOUNTABILITY. JUST LIKE SID AND BUTTER FACE. COME ONE BERRY WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? X-MAS? REALLY EVERY DAY YOU WAISTE IS TWO DAYS OF BS THAT YOU HAVE TO DIG YOURSELF OUT OF WITH APD.
It wasn't a secret to everybody in a loop! To all the rest, Wow! I bet if the media covers the story that the story will be number one top story in popularity similiar to the story on how City Councilor Sally Mayer was being sued for Credit Card debt by Visa. A lot of people go through divorce and the Sheriff having two Domestic Restraining Orders filed by his wife on him and him on his wife is newsworthy!
The word is that Ray will stay thanks to Darren despite the obvious need to replace him. I guess Darren was he real one elected mayor so lets all congratulate him on December 1st. Four more years of Marty under a new name.
Aristotle:
Man is by nature a political animal.
Berry is turning out to be "more of the same" City departments in turmoil, not just APD. Departments top heavy and cultural services just hired yet another assistant director while the customer service reps are in the weeds because all they're help has been cut because they say they don't have enough MONEY!!! WHAT GIVES NO MONEY FOR STAFF, YET PLENTY OF MONEY FOR A REDUNDANT DIRECTOR--WHAT'S GOING ON MAYOR BERRY??
Everyone in APD suffered with Schultz due to his lack of guts to stand up to the mayor. It is unbelievable that the mayor would even consider keeping him, and it is crazy for Darren to keep him. This does not reflect well on things to come. But since Darren wants to be the boss, who better than Schultz. he does what he's told as his track records proves it. This is a perfect fit for Darren. Watch out for Sal now that Bowdich is gone......he will most likely replace him. Darren's entourage will soon follow. Wonder if he will bring back Steve Wadley? He would fit in perfect with the caliber of people Darren surrounds himself with. There appears to be some scary stuff heading APD's way. So much for the change.....only the names will change, and maybe not even all of those. OUCH! If this happens, guaranteed four year term for Berry with internal issues and discontent at APD reaching worse levels than imagined under the previous administration. Horrible mistakes can and should be headed off sooner than later to contain the amount of damage than can easily be predicted with this mess. Oh Boy...look out!
Ok, so Let's address the issue of Darren and his ex-wife..... It would appear that the whole issue is between them, If and I repeat, IF! Darren did cheat, he would only be fitting in with 80% of the rest of the world.(cop or not) And for the record, I happen to know for a fact that if they weren't getting along in 2001, they seem to be doing ok now.... and I am thinking peole have confused their rumors because his ex-wife is the School Teacher....
Come up with something new and stop trying to drown the guy
Get off the military discharge issue your facts are off. He did not quit. Came in to go to OCS. There was a mistake during enlistment and his age waiver was not approved because he would be over the age limit at time of commission. Did not find out until after basic and seperated soon after. The situation was common at the time because of changes in regulations. Let it go already.
Thae above post does sound like the story I had heard years ago, but doesn't explain if the discharge was less than honorable, which is what the issue is. The term seperated does not exist on a DD214. Even if the situation was common doesn't matter, only how the discharge was classified.
Berry screwed up big time letting Darren keep Ray. This move will haunt him later. Maybe TJ can be PIO and replace Walsh. That way it can be a package deal.
He still tore up traffic/parking cites. Where's the big IA investigation on that one? Oh right, it was for the Almighty Midget, no problem. Bye-bye Marty!
Then post the DD 214. It should clear it all up.
Isn't it funny that the Army would make a mistake like this? I don't believe it for a minute. Show us the order where his age waiver was not approved. Talk is cheap and you can say anything you want. We want proof.
What type of discharge did you get? Is this why the US Marshall would not take you? Come clean on everything.
No way the Army makes that type of mistake.
And it stinks you did this when this country is at war. Excuses excuses. None of this holds water.
What kind of excuse are you going to give for shredding Marty's tickets? This is not the kind of person I want as my Sheriff, way to much baggage and excuses. No responsibility. No way I want you as our sheriff.
To the poster who posted on November 17th, at 6:12 pm regarding Darren White moving foward. Hey, when it comes to not liking another person's lifestyle, then I try to remind myself that everybody sets their own values, morals and standards in life. Darren is divorced with Jennifer and there is a Domestic Restraining Order. See below

DONT FORGET HIS AFFAIR WITH KELLY SANDOVAL FROM EVIDENCE UNIT SCANDAL. HE DENIED IT BUT IT WAS TRUE EVERYONE SAW IT AT THE FOP THEN THEY WENT KELLYS APT ISNT THAT RIGHT SCOTT LOPEZ WERENT YOU THERE A FEW TIMES YOURSELF?
Look, those that committ adultery have a different lifestyle and set of values, morals, etc...
Look at Gary Conduit who cheated on his wife. Who did that hurt? The people around Gary. Not just his wife, but also his Press Secretary, Political Staffers and other employees who all believed in their boss and counted on their boss.
What is in the opening book of a Tom Clancy novel? A cheating Senator who cheats on his wife. What is most disappointing are those who voted for Darren White for Congress who he let down. I suppose it was no secret to insiders, but somehow that lack of character got out.
It's dispicable that Darren White cheated on his wife and he couldn't have more restraint than that. I heard Darren was at a party with the school teacher when his wife went looking for him and found the two together!
You would think that guys in Politics in elected positions etc... would know better by now! Ok, Erin, didn't you warn your boss about that sort of thing from happening?
If Jennifer is also a School Teacher, then that could be, but definetely I heard from an insider in Darren's camp until the two had a riff that the woman that Darren cheated on was a School Teacher (not his own wife, you can't cheat with your own wife).
What about that guy who ran for President, Hart? The guy was caught cheating on his wife while running for President on board a boat? Look, whatever percentage of spouse's cheat.... the voters just don't vote for men that do!
4 more years of the same ol' crap at APD. God Bless the officers, they're gonna need it!
APD AND AFD SUCK, WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. GET IT RIGHT BERRY OR YOU CAN KISS YOUR POLITICAL FUTURE GOODBYE.
HEY CANDELARIA HOW DID SLOPEZ TASTE OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Get over you whiners! It is what it is. If you don't like it move elsewhere!!!!!
Isn't cheating part of the APD motto?????
After the news on Ch-4 at 6, he's done and his LE career is over!
You can't have a federal job with a General Discharge. That explains the loss of the US Marshal's Job.
A general discharge is not a good thing! Basically, indicates that the military wants you gone, not real bad, but bad enough.
Above post is correct, it keeps you from most federal jobs, especially anything that involves high security, sensitivity or secret clearences, etc. Basically, screws you for any Law Enforcement job in the federal system.
I DONT GET IT? WAS CANDELARIA IN THE HONOR GUARD AND THEN LEFT. HE SAID HE COULDNT GO TO OFFICERS SCHOOL BECAUSE OF HIS AGE? ISNT THAT WHAT THE GUARD PROMOTES, YOU CAN WORK FULL TIME AND STILL SERVE YOUR COUNTRY. I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE AGE THING? IS IT TRUE?
HE HAD AFFAIR WITH SANDOVAL FROM EVIDENCVE EVERYONE KNOW IT HE WAS ASKING TO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION IT WAS ALL DONE FOR HER. HE DENIED IT TO IA BUT WE ALL KNOW IT TRUE
Way to much scandal here!
Just wondering for you military people. How can you go through boot camp in the army and then say you don't want to stay in. I have never heard of anything like that? I thought once you joined you were in for 3-4 years period! Do they let you leave after boot camp if you don't like it?
Just wondering????
If we all could leave the military after boot camp there would be no one in the military, haaaaaa.
Any one seen the letter from retired Col. H. Thevenet? It was sent to the city council and Candeleraia is pissed.
Thevenet is retired APD now working for BCSO.
Life is tough when you have to take responsibility for your actions. Isn't that what Candelaria would tell his officers as he wrote them up?
A lie is a lie is a lie. You can tell me a lie to my face, or you can lie to me by not telling me everything. It is still a lie. Conrad just found that out.
Thevenet is working for the BCSO because he is a pathological liar and APD wasn't going to make the same mistake twice by hiring him again!
Any truth to the rumor that Conrad pulled his letter?
Pretty horrible putting the mouth on this Colonel. Anyone who served his country for over 30 years in the Army has my support. A NM Guard buddy of mine said this Colonel even volunteered for duty in Iraq! Volunteered to go to war for us! Now you cowards that don't post your name are going to try to defame him for setting the record straight on Conrad's enlistment. Wow, you guys are a bunch of bums. Why don't you try to be half as brave as this Colonel. Grow a set of balls!
At least the Col. was not scared to go to war! He did not run and hide when his Country called. I worked with him at the Guard and he's a hard worker. I would put my life in his hands any day. Can you say the same with your guy. I doubt it! I for opne was proud to serve with the Col AND WOULD GO INTO COMBAT WITH HIM ANY DAY!.
He's a proud American who will defend his Country with his life!
Hahahahaa, this brave, military hero was never in Iraq!!!!! What a joke that you can be duped so easy by his blevy of lies.
"Pretty horrible putting the mouth on this Colonel. Anyone who served his country for over 30 years in the Army has my support.

I don't see your name posted either. Who's the bigger COWARD?
Thank God the Commission appointed a BCSO Captain, Manny Gonzales. They certainly did not need to appoint any of APD's problems.
Manny is way over his head, nice guy but he has some ethical issues that will soon knock him outta the race! He made back door deals with other sleazy politicians, dont kid yourself! He is the laughing stock of the County, his own guys are gonna revolt! This is getting good, can't wait to hear him talk in public again! His inexperience is showing already as he was seen campaigning today while on duty!! He did tell a little white lie to Commissioners and soon they will feel stupid!
Little Manny is not mister innocent himself, his lady friends will come out of the closet too! BCSO is about to implode over his appointment, he has been moved around so much for failure to perform that he makes homeless people look stable. This is just great, we just went from bad to worse, now Darren controls APD and BCSO. What a sham...
Darren is the man! Don't forget it!
You guys would eat your own to further your political career. That has been APD's problem, learn from them and don't make it BCSO's.
Be happy for Manny, he is a good guy. When the primary race comes up don't sling mud, stick to issues and may the best man / woman win. But this jealousy from others needs to stop. We are all on the same team.
Reading all these comments gives me a better understanding of why APD is always in turmoil. It seems that cheating, back-stabbing and inmaturity is the culture of this Organization.Yet you all wear/wore an Officer's Uniform. You all need to grow up and work as a team.In the mean time keep this culture confined to APD and donot spread it to BCSO. Hopefully, the new Administration can put Humptey Dumptey together again. If you all mature alittle, It can happen.
"You all need to grow up and work as a team."
Smartest thing said in a long time. What you're seeing are the symptoms of a department without any leadership in its CHIEF and the backstabbing culture created by a miserable little troll named CALLOWAY.
Hey folks. I don't know Calloway all that well. But I grew up very close to Conrad and know him fairly well. He's a non-intrusive, quiet guy, as I recall he was a excellent sportsman with ethics, value, courtesy, skill, and professionalism. Some of Conrad's associates and close graduating class have become members in good standing with APD and earned their position with dedication. I'm sure if Conrad intended to submit his position to the city council it would have gone better without any letter writing from Calloway. You would have been just as good as the current elected sheriff Conrad. I still wish you the best. Here's to that beat Austin Healey we cruised in! Good luck next time!
