What didn't happen at FPD this week.

 Some our our readers will remember the hearing the story by Fox 25, regarding the assistant to the Police Chief. This highly paid man had no to little formal training, was issued a badge, gun and vehicle. Issued tickets and responded to calls in the field.
After coming under scrutiny by the head of the police union, the chief decided it was time for his assistant to give up his badge and gun. The rub on this, thanks to Fox 25 is, that he resigned in Oct, but didn't return his weapon to the armory. But he is still being paid over 110,000.00 a year and gets 300 dollars a month because he's a lawyer for the FPD. The union's have resisted any attempt by the chief to rein in costs and this union rep is trying his best to disrupt any attempt by headquarters to rein in a few bad apples. Not a word of this is found in any local media source.

Note: There was no comment from the Mayor's office.
