Finally Leaving After All These Years

Now that a certain senior lieutenant has left on leave to be shortly followed by his retirement, some questions arise. Said Lt.'s job (responsibilities) were parceled out to the two (still one more lieutenant than Sheriff Allsop had) remaining lieutenants on the patrol side.

This begs the question, why was this not done earlier? If this lieutenant was sooooo important to the department, why is he not being replaced? If his job responsibilities could be simply parcelled out, why was it not done earlier? Why did longshanks feel it was worth another staff position to keep the lieutenant around for the last eight plus years under his watch? How many street deputy slots were not filled because this extraneous position was kept filled?

How many of the bloated supervisory staff at the Laramie County Sheriff's Department could leave and not be missed? How many years would it take for anyone to notice if they were all gone on vacation? Silly questions, yes. Facetious questions, yes. Does the truth hurt? Of  course it does!

A side note to those who were observed playing the political games while eagerly anticipating their promotional opportunities to lieutenant and to sergeant once this vacancy actually happened. You have shown Ddg your true colors. That is a selfish attitude of self first no matter who gets backstabbed. NOT a nice job, guys!

  1. I am sure no one will really miss Lt. Branigan. Oh wait did you hear? He's really not leaving. According to people in the Sheriff's Department, he was allowed to use his sick leave by requesting FMLA since his wife is sick (she has been sick for YEARS), then he is coming back to do the background checks since no one really likes doing them!

  2. Why do they need anyone to do background checks....Luce is to lazy to call anyone back and unless you're a drunk womanizer, Glick doesn't want you.
