When does a deputy lose credibility? It is that one thing that is prized above all else in law enforcement and absolutely essential for law enforcement. Why? Simply put, it is your word against the criminal. When a deputy does not have credibility because he lied, what good is that deputy?
This opens up a whole case of 'if you lied then, can you show that you are not lying now?" The deputy's past and future affidavits, arrests, reports, and anything else the deputy is involved in can be questioned. What happens when the deputy is questioned under oath in court, being asked if the deputy had ever lied before in an official capacity while on duty? Does the deputy tell the truth or lie again? Obviously if the deputy lies and gets caught, there is a chance of being prosecuted for perjury. Well maybe not, given the present sad status at the district attorney's position, but that is another story. Does the deputy admit the lie and throw his whole credibility into question?
Again, this relates directly to the supervision (actually the lack thereof) shown on the department. That a deputy would even think about lying on duty shows that things are very loose further up the chain of command, ending with the sheriff. Of course when you continually lie as glick has done, lying must not be a bad thing. So what are subordinates to think and do?
As to the deputy being given time off and returned to duty again shows the problem at glick's level. The amount of time off without pay would have had to have been signed off by glick. So glick has approved a suspension that returned a deputy to duty that lied on duty.
As this post is for information about the problems that are being fostered and ignored by longshanks, Ddg WILL NOT identify the deputy, either in this post or in any replies to it. Those working at the department know who this deputy is. Talk to one of them if they will talk to you.
Ddg reminds you to write in for one of the other candidates on Tuesday November 2, 2010 because another four years of poor leadership is not in Laramie County's best interest.
Remember: Friends don't let friends vote for glick.

All Peace Officers take an oath when they graduate the academy. Some (GLICK) fail to uphold that oath and ruin the lives of any deputies that dare know more than him or have a better way of doing business. Glick has made a habit of going after certain deputies and you all know who I'm talking about. Glick is going to cost the county thousands of dollars is attorney fees and wrongful terminations. You have SGT's like Kevin James who have permanent brown colored and (Need I say) Glick flavored lips.
ReplyDeleteBut what should we expect from the King of Liars and law breakers. Glick only sees a moldable Deputy who will grow up and be just like him.
