I am not a rehire and don't like the program. I have been on over 10 years and all I ever hear from citizens is how corrupt the department is and it needs to be gutted. If all you wonderfull citizens can do better, then step up and do something instead of standing on the sidelines and whining about it. People wonder why there is an "us vs. them" attitude when all you get is citizens saying your corrupt and shouldn't have a job and the courts saying getting hit and spit on is part of your job and not a crime. I am angry at the land of entitlement feeling here.

Marty was their man. Marty in turn promised to appoint a new chief from the ranks in appreciation for APD's support in his run for Mayor.

Didn't Ray swear that there was going to be a "process" that included interviews, resumes and professional writing samples etc. etc.? Not that I blame the Chief solely for this decision, as former (and better) chiefs before him were also swayed to make nonsensical political promotions. There is NO PLACE in public safety for ANY promotion to be made on criteria other than a valid testing process to identify the best all around candidate. It would be horrible to learn that a future promotion within both APD and AFD all happened to relatives of major Mraty contributors.<BR/>Now before someone jumps all over me for taking up sides with command staff, remember that this is where all your future Chiefs and DCOPs comes from. Promotions should not be made on the basis of politics or the fact that someone makes a great, HR compliant, recruiting photo-op.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-47606699511320158602009-03-15T08:08:00.000-06:002009-03-15T08:08:00.000-06:00So, what has the Mayor done with Nick Bakas???????...So, what has the Mayor done with Nick Bakas???????

He was doing this when he was a patrolman way back when. The guy is just a total liability for the Mayor and always has been. Why do you think they demoted him from CAO and put him is that closet.

Lied on his application to get his job as a rehire, the city paid out to the tune of 50 k to shut up the people who were better qualified, and he is still employed as a rehire running the security division. THEY are public safety, but as their manager, he is not. He also was the one responsible for allowing the supervisors to take their vehicles home to Belen and Cedar Crest, costing taxpayers thousands, is corrupt, double dipping, playing fast and loose with the taxpayers money, claiming that he has bought all these things and made working conditions better for the officers. No, it's not better for the officers, but damned if the supervisors that cover up his wrongdoing aren't using all new equipment, in their all new offices, and driving all new vehicles, while the officers don't even have radios that work, and it is THEIR ass on the line when it counts. He is another one who needs to go....now.<BR/>And if you think Marty didn't know? He was Marty's bodyguard when he was a corrupt cop. Cleaning up Marty's messes, covering Marty's ass. He is an appointed employee, and as such is double dipping, and not covered under public safety.<BR/>And now his supervisors are telling the troops that they may all be laid off, but THEY are public safety. His supervisors, (one to every 8 officers, 4 lts, 7 sgts, for a crew of 90 +/- and they have empty slots for two more that they are looking to hire!) are not. Start at the top in security, thin out the supervisor herd, and allow the officers to do their jobs, instead of kissing all the directors asses and not backing your people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-78269666833770529802009-03-14T23:30:00.000-06:002009-03-14T23:30:00.000-06:00To the "phone tree" comment.Your comment made you ...To the "phone tree" comment.<BR/>Your comment made you sound as though you are one of the returning officers.<BR/><BR/>I have been part of a Law Enforcers family.

APD will run two classes a year of about 50 each and not have any problem replacing the rehires. In fact the good news is a number of closet and desk jobs will open up for younger officers. There are plenty of good people knocking down the door to get hired by APD. There will be no problem replacing them with good people. In fact so many officers are getting laid off in California that I would not be surprised to see some lateral over to APD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-9164471925921642872009-03-14T15:35:00.000-06:002009-03-14T15:35:00.000-06:00What about Christine Parker Marty?What about Christine Parker Marty?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-86012348961669131242009-03-14T13:05:00.000-06:002009-03-14T13:05:00.000-06:00It will be amazing to see what happens to the magi...It will be amazing to see what happens to the magic number of 1100 officers if APD has to put the rehires out to pasture .

Lets remeber that there was a confession...this crap about it being in admissable is just that. Its not like they were water boarded. Secondly who would replace the detectives....you...or maybe Lee since he so bravely stated that was his future career path.
