'Chief' accomplishments

This guy is just another public worker who has a fat pension and medical care to see him far into the future. Far more money than most people will ever see. His "parting gift" to Montebello was a lawsuit brought about because of his retaliation against a woman who started a group he could not control within the police department. It was only about $ 250,000 when al the bills are paid. He probably got the bad back and knees from playing the drums, because a lot of musicians have that problem, while far and away policemen do not.

I am sure when he waves good bye to Rio Hondo, there will be a few more dollars in his retirement kitty.

He still can't get enough public money. His company has Jr High Schools convinved they need to take scarce TAX dollars to employ so-called "drug sniffing dogs" to search 12 and 13 year old children. This is outrageous. About five hundred a day to violate the civil rights of school children is a stupid move by the school district, but it is also lining the pockets of an over paid public worker. The chief and the superintendant should be forced to man a taco truck curbside at Dexter to replace the funds the school needs for instructional purposes.

Let's go back to the dogs for a minute. These are just pooches. They cannot speak, they cannot express a complicated thought. The trainers lie to us and say the dog "indicates" by sitting down when they find "contraband." Most of the time dogs sit down because they feel like a rest. Same reason every animal including humans do. The Courts have been duped by these securitiy and law enforcement agencies to allow a dog sitting down as probable cause to allow a search that would otherwise be forbidden. How stupid is that? They are not protecting kids. They are taking tax money for a problem that does not exist. Teachers need to work harder. They also linger at the trough with the higest wages of any state, yet rank 48th of 50 in performance. Only half the kids graduate from high school in LA Unified.

What do the dogs find at Jr Hi? Nothing. The dog sits down if it smells salt and peper packets from McDonalds.

The security company makes sure everyone knows they have a former police chief on their payroll. This is simply a sales tool to convince public agencies that they have some kind of unquestionable credibility. In truth they have a guy who had to struggle to finish high school with a pup that likes to sit down.

Chief Garry, you are a very good man with a big heart in helping others. You continue to leave a positive lasting impression with everyone you come in contact with. Keep enjoying your retirement, get better and stay strong. God will heal you, and His angels will continue to surround you. God's grace and mercy shall be upon and your family during the times of struggles. Be blessed my dear brother in Christ.

Thanks for the fine work at Rio Hondo Chief

No Trough, you are wrong on all counts. I as a former law enforcement officer know for a fact that other law enforcement officers do suffer from bad knees and backs because the job is tough on the body. No brainer there.
Drug Sniffing Dogs DO alert by sitting when they detect narcotics (and yes they do exist in middle school/jr. high because there were plenty at the school I attended in L.A. County) because that's how they are trained to react and signal their handler. Common sense and common knowledge.
Lastly, You're wrong on all counts- but then again, I said that already.
Grow a brain Trough.

This individual is a corrupted bustard, a liar and I can prove it.

Your anecdotal obsevations are amusing but not valid rebutal. There is nothing in the scientific literature to suggest that police suffer back and leg problems in any greater number than the population as a whole. Full time musicians who play drums have shown a propensity for such problems from the constant pounding of the joints caused by their work.
Double-blind studies that have been peer reviewed show that the dog sits on his own most of the time. It also shows that the dog is jonesing for a reward from his master when he performs the indicating behavior. They also discovered that non-verbal cues from the handler cause the dog to indicate on a certain person or object, again to receive a reward, not that drugs were detected. They also indicated on any unusual aromatic, like common spices salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Now who has more credibility? A cop who has completed 400 hours of post-secondary education or a zoologist with a Phd that has 7 years of post-secondary education and has published his findings and took criticsm from his peers?
Now, the fact that you saw drugs in your Jr hi, and you are retired now shows the exception that proves the rule. In a country of 300 million you might find all manner of contraband in a jr hi. A butter knife to put schmear on a bagel does not constitute a weapon. Cocaine residue on the kids lunch money is not evidence of drug use. An empty old beer bottle filled with fruit punch is not an open container.
You sir, have been drinking the Kool-Aid and spouting the thin blue line. The taxpayers, however, have awakened to the con, and will put up with such raids on public treasure by public workers.
We all love our public workers, police do a terrific job of helping people with need, and curtailing those who cannot live in society. I am sure this chief is a wonderful guy, but he thinks the public purse is a self serve ice cream counter. He is taking scoop, after scoop, after scoop.
While you suggest I get a brain, I suggest you get an education.

[pted and a Liar"]This individual is a corrupted ****, a liar and I can prove it. ok.......so prove it

I will be more then happy to, if the reporter would be willing to run my story. I have the documents and a signed letter by the corrupted ****. The reporter has my name and number.

Mr "trough", you really are ignorant, and obviously know nothing about Police K9 training. If the PHD you refer to is who I think, his specialty is hamsters. He has never owned or trained a dog, and he will rent himself out like a whore as an "expert" when crooks sue Police departments. I dare you to tell us his name.

Usually when someone has no effective point to make in response to false information they believe to be true, they resort to name calling or making a declaration of ignorance.
The adversarial court system requires "expert testimony" to advise the Court on matters not generally known to the public. Police have their own stable of "experts" to testify in opposition to the hamster guy. Attorney's and the Court knows both sides are paying for the testimony, so good jurists weigh it in that light.
I think I do know about working pooches. I hire guards to use the pups to patrol fence lines. The dogs are to protect the guard in cases where he might be outnumbered until the calvary can arrive.
The research into the abilities of dogs has been going on for centuries, but the most relavent has been done in the last 50 years. There are dozens of people directly involved in this research. If you can qualify to take unversity level classes I suggest you take a biology class at UCLA. You will learn how to utilize scientific literature to expand your circle of knowelege. You will then know the names of those people who have objective obsevations counter to what you hold so dear to your heart. You can then stop attempting to insult people, and you might even get over the flawed notion that ALL police are ethical and honorable people. When they do wrong, they should be sued, even if it is by a crook.

I've got to say I have never heard of a reporter passing up a chance to expose a city official. It would send their career skyrocketing. Sounds like your story is full of holes and he took a pass on it.

Don't get me wrong either, I am not a cop cheerleader, as there are some bad apples there just like anywhere else in society, just looks like you have some sort of personal agenda here and it's not panning out.

Trough, thats exactly what I thought, you cannot name your expert. Why?? Maybe because he doesn't exist? I bet you are lying about hiring dogs too. I believe anyone in the K9 industry would make more sense when they are talking about this topic.
