COJ management of 911 is criminal- hopefully Capitol Popo can fix that.
Chockway cant manage a darn thing but his mouth
"The Capitol Police also hired former Pearl Police Chief Dean Scott this week. Scott will supervise dispatch." birds of a feather. I'll be damn(not really).
10:17 - Holy shit, are you serious?
KF: I see what you did with that headline. Smooth move.
Kinda strange to put a guy who has a deep hatred of the Highway Patrol, in charge....
He may have to work to repay the double dipping with retirement, leave & benefits accrued from previous double employment.
The same Dean Scott that was faking his time cards?
I thought CJ Lemaster fired the kill shot on Dean Scott? Isn't that what WLBT alluded to in its report on the media circle-jerk awards they give out? That 'ol CJ's "investigative reporting" caused Dean Scott to be out of a job and it ran him out of town?
Apparently CJ's reporting didn't do $h!+ and 'ol Dean continues to be employed by metro area law enforcement and still participating in PERS.
Dean Scott....CLASSIC upward failure!!
What is his position there?
Scott has got to have nekkid pictures of someone.
“The Height of the Ridiculous!” Lie, cheat and steal…no problem, police dept is hiring….
I am very disappointed that Bo hired him after he broke state laws. Dean Scott should be prosecuted, just like the Goon Squad! This sends a bad message to the hard working, honorable men & women in blue keeping us safe everyday while not earning $$ like Dean did Illegally! Shad White, where are you?You go after everyone else so start with this!
If they did hire this man in any capacity they are just as bad as the goon squad. Why do law enforcement want to hire known criminals? I was thinking law enforcement would be against criminals, not hiring them.
Least Tindall could do is get Broman’s title correct. Executive Director of the Office of Standards & Training is the correct title - they oversee the training and certification of law enforcement, dispatchers, and jail officers and each has its own Board (BLEOST, BTEST, BJOST). Something the Commish should know…just saying. And must be nice to just be handed a PINned position, too.
Executive Director of the Office of Standards & Training
What kind of standards does the man have? He is a criminal. Imagine a known criminal teaching law enforcement standards.
This has to be a joke or one hell of a mistake.

Tindell has put his buddies in high ranking positions, given them huge salary increases and created new executive job titles for them as well....must be nice to be part of the dps team! Tindell has free reign at dps to do as he pleases, and if he wants to call Broman's title that.....so be it.
12:08-Go to Google and type in "dispatch call reflects anger over suprise checkpoint." That is your new Colonel over the new LED that was just created.
2:26. That dispatch recording is crazy and unprofessional how the Chief talked to that dispatcher. Sounds like the Chief and now Colonel is on a real power trip. Seems like that would also be improper use of his position of authority to get one of his alderman through a checkpoint. Will be interesting to see how this appointment turns out!
I worked with Phillip Pope at MDWFP he was a good Officer I hope he does well at MBN
I listened to the audio of Davis running off at the mouth. He is a yes man if there ever has been one. Whoever that alderman was got him in gear in a hurry and got him speaking for the whole of Moss Point. Whatever professional bearing Davis had went right out the door for the sake of pleasing his boss. Or he can't take the heat and Tindall has made a terrible mistake.
Can't believe they let Broman come back. He has little no time of actual law enforcement. He was moved into an administrative position because he couldn't along with anyone on the coast. Same at DPS and here he comes again. I guess when your from the coast you can get what you want like the rest of them.
