I hate to inform you Kev but the Executive Officer thing for A/C's is nothing new at HPD. Lt. Manson was the last assigned to "b*tch duty". Horvath is going nowhere but that's ok. He's a very capable leader, although very autocratic (read: bully). He can probably do a good job of turning HPD around or at least get it back on the right track. If only he can stop taking care of is Intel buddies and spread the wealth. There is so much unused talent at HPD and for whatever reason, the same ole folks keep getting the high profile jobs. (Ask Lt. Sigersmith how he feels about his involuntary transfer.) This breeds dissension and kills morale but DKR and Horvath don't give a f***. DKR knows his time is limited and now is just going thru the motions until his time is up. So many guys are just there now for the money, when it used to be for the love of the job. This attitude is a direct result of having doors closed in faces with no explanation. Another wasted spot is having a civilian PIO and a SGT and an officer essentially doing the same job. This used to be the role of a "uniformed" SGT or higher. I guess the computer/blue page component requires two extra bodies.(Really???) When the idea of putting the SGT back on the street arose, she conveniently forgot how to descend a stairwell and got injured. The place is better than "Days of Our Lives", "Guiding Light" and "As the World Turns". It's the best free show going. You take a couple days off and you can't believe what you've missed when you return to work. I also disagree with what you said about Lt. Foley, because he has been given additional work after he filed a lawsuit only strengthens his case against DKR. LT "used" to be the best job at HPD. Now we have compstat responsibilities in addition to call back responsibilities as well as our daily miscellaneous zone duties. Not all of us have Mack's relationship with JHo. When have you seen a probationary Lt have 3jobs in 8mos? NEVER! All because his "boy" is the A/C. At least try to disguise it a little bit. Jeesh!!! The whole idea of cutting the two cops is understandable. They havent proven themselves and JHo is for the most part a proven company man and valuable commodity and he's destined to take over the throne. THAT is why he's here for the long haul. Love it or hate it.

Lance Sigersmith, A true "Fallon-ite" would run HPD the right way. The city would be a safer place with Sigersmith in charge... Smart, Nice, Tough, Fair, Leader... True Qualities of a Great Police Chief

Dear Lt Anonymous,
Before you write or say anything derogatory or hateful about another person, you should have your facts straight. The implication that I would break my hand to avoid working in patrol is outrageous.
Have you forgotten that as a lieutenant you are a member of command staff? Perhaps if you spent less time complaining, and more time acting like a commander, morale would improve. Do you not realize that your unfounded, jealous words and hateful comments contribute to low morale and false rumors? Have you forgotten your oath as a Hartford Police Officer; this job is about helping the Hartford community, not about spreading rumors and innuendos to make yourself feel better.
I challenge you to step up to the plate. Put aside your hostility and lets work together to make Hartford safer and to improve the quality of life of its residents.
Lastly, feel free to stop by anytime to talk with me in person about my responsibilities and the quality of my work. I am always willing to hear constructive criticism.
Hopeful,
Christene Mertes

Hey that's tough talk from the first female sniper who has been shot while on the job, as well as many others accomplishments you have claimed since being here at HPD. How about you doing some time in the streets as a supervisor before you can talk about morale. You are an overpaid newsletter editor who isn't that good at her job. You still never addressed your tumble down the stairs coincidenetly the day you were informed you were going back to patrol.

Finally! Christene you are the first to put a name with a statement. That is a beginning, I tip my hat to you and have but only one request, who might this fine Lt. be? So other officers and rank and file can be ware of his or her reckless tactics.

Hey Bobby! Good to see your still paying attention to some of the acts at the three circus, otherwise known as HPD. But just to let you know, SGT Martin Miller was the first to put his name with his posting. Be well.

I can't believe that I completely overlooked this thread on the blog. Its old news now I realize and most likely no one will read this a month and a half after the thread started, but I've got to comment on Sgt. Mertes' post.
What a bunch of crap! Just because you yourself go on the blog and attack someone else for attacking you doesn't justify your ridiculous rant. Have you ever heard two wrongs don't make a right? I'm not suggesting what Anonymous said is incorrect, but you obviously did and chose to reply like a fool. It proves this board all that much more credible. It proves that what people are saying about corruption at HPD is true enough that it's scarring the people who have something to be scared about, and want to defend themselves. What happened to Honor, Integrity and Brotherhood? It went down the john with DKR and his buddies. Click here for a photo of Christine Mertes and DKR
