LMPD chief finalist for Atlanta head job

May 26th, 2010 @ 7:19AM (14 years ago)

he is 100% committed to Louisville my A$$. He is 100% committed to his pensions and screwing up more departments. Maybe he will take some of his recent appointed majors with him. I really wonder if he is still getting paid for all this time he takes off to do these interviews. How much time has he been gone from the department between Chicago, Dallas and now Atlanta? At his rate of pay that is a lot of money. We all know he would not give one of the officers approval just to go on company time.

-- "I feel fortunate that two agencies, Dallas and Atlanta, have chosen to pursue me in their national search for a Police Chief. It was at their invitation that I agreed to take part in the selection process. My participation is motivated by the Mayor's decision not to run for re-election, as well as my continued desire to stay engaged in the management or administration of law enforcement. That passion is the primary reason I remain one hundred percent committed to providing the best of service to our entire Louisville Metro community."

Prepared response that I know he did not write.

Chief White will further harm a department in great need of repair. APD has several officers under indictment now including one for trying to sell an UC FBI agent 5 kilos of cocaine. APD has low pay and the officers there are treated like dirt. As in Louisville, Atlanta has had poor Mayors which leads to poor Police Chiefs. Imagine a department with a couple hundred J Hollingsworths, that is APD. You truely have to be as concerned about your back up as the criminal that you are dealing with. Many times they are one and the same. I know these things because I was an officer there for over 3 years. I was blessed to get out of there and come back to Jefferson Co. What is sad though, is LMPD has had the same type poor leadership from it's Chief and Mayor that APD has. Without a change in LMPD leadership, Mayor - Chief and staff, LMPD is heading in the same direction as APD. The next Mayor election and appointment of Police Chief will be the most important event in the history of the LMPD. It will determine the direction of the city and department, continue on it's destructive path or become a great Department.

I feel for the hardworking officers of APD, they don't have a chance. The harder they work, the more complaints they generate and so on. Atlanta also has a Citizen Review Board, with subpoena powers. You can imagine what a "Clown Show" that is. APD needs to make the same decesion that LMPD does to bring their department to greatness. APD can start with the right decesion for Chief - reward the hard workers and fire the criminals. LMPD will have a new Chief soon, I just hope the person choosen is a Police Leader and not another office manager.

I am one of the officers that retired as soon as I could. I loved what I did, but could not stand to serve in a department with such disfunction any longer. I am excited for your future, God Bless and stay safe.

To the officers of Atlanta PD, should you get Chief White, you will be able to mathematically lower crime through out your metropolitan area. You will find that you will never have been happier to have regular days off and will enjoy those moments, every moment to the fullest.

I happily endorse Chief White for this position, in fact I endorse him for any position he desires as he leaves the 168th largest city in the world for other adventures in retirement building.

Oh yeah, be prepared to send EVERY member of command staff to the Southern Police Institute where the Kool-Aid was replaced by Pink - Lemonade.

Don't belive all these haters postin on here. Chief White is the nest thing this department ever did have. He took the good old boys club and shut them down.

Unlike gang-free Louisville, Atlanta has quite a few of the gang persuasion. If White takes his Hug-a-Thug philosophy down there, the Georgia National Guard and State Police will be taking control of the streets of Atlanta within 6 months of him becoming Chief and he'll get canned.

Right just like the bad ole' boys he has in office now. Even Robison appears to be drinking the kool-aide. The 1st Division is fudging their crime numbers so bad, somebody has dimed them out to WHAS11, who has submitted numerous FOIA requests for their stats. The 2nd is telling their guys, if you don't think its a burglary, just take an incident report, put the "MISSING" property in the narrative, and let the detectives decide if it is a burglary. He promotes people under investigation, no wait, he gives them a letter of reprimand, closes the case and then promotes. He says he is looking for "real gold badges" to do the job he has promoted everyone else to do. He chastises his LT's in front of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and embrasses them and himself. He told officers at role calls he does not care about their families. But you know, Black Jesus, the Old Man in tha Cave, and Oprah are running this place just great. Our saviours.

Atlanta, if you are looking for a change agent, then this your man. If you are looking for a politically acceptable, reliable and controllable individual, this is your man. If you want to show your criminal activities are in decline, nurmerically, this you man! In fact, to show how much we are willing to help you out, we will through in three highly controllable Lieutenant Colonels, a grab bag of numerically skilled majors and several statistically acceptable lieutenants. And to sweeten the pot, we can even send you several civilian associates that are highly trained to nod their heads whenever your Mayor walks in the room.

Talked to a Lt. buddy in Atlanta yesterday. He says the word there is that Chief Turner will get the job full time.

An APD officer was attacked and shot 5 times on his way home from work last night. He was stil in uniform, but in his personal vehicle, no take home cars. Since he had no take home car, he had no radio to call for help during the gun battle, no extra equipment from his car etc. Fornutely he was still wearing his vest, or he would be dead.

This happened at Lee St and Oak St, Zone 4, Beat 1. I worked Zone 4 while in Atlanta and that area is famous for violence and drugs. I am shocked, but a citizen hit the perp with his vehicle and several others tackled him and held him until other officers arrived. I have new hope for humanity over this because the officer was getting ready to be executed.

Thank You to those West End Citizens, you saved the officer's life.

To the officers that don't wear their vests, what is in Atlanta now will be coming to a town near you soon, Louisville. These trained perps are not fighting to get away like they used to, they are fighting to kill the police, it will only get worse.

Thankfully this officer survived; "HE survived, but did not Win". He may be able to fight another day and 3 perps are in jail. As I said in an earlier post, "Just another weekend in Atlanta". Chief White can not lead this department, it is too much for him.

Is it true that the old man in the cave and oprah voted to allow a convicted felon, Federal Felon, to continue on as an officer? Huh I always thought a thief was a thief unless you are...............on the bowling team.

LMPD/City should be embarrassed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again all drivers training for the month of JULY ( the one day course for CO's & DET's ) has been cancelled. We were kicked off the track and will be rescheduling at a later date.

Sorry for all the confusion and inconvenience.
