Pa. Chief Held Without Bail After Cover-up Charges

WOW..How we judge w/o all the facts..We don't know these people are untrained, we don't know if the rest of the dept is guilty of anything but ignorance.We do seem to know that the chief (capital letter deliberately ignored) seems to be guilty of many crimes. Let's not blame the entire community for one man's( plus accomplices) wrong doing...Many Thanks to the guys who have to do the dirty job and go after the bad LEO's.Many thanks to the Judge who ordered no bail.Send a message this is happening all too often and the Law Enforcement Community suffers as a whole each time we read about another such occurrence...It's a thankless job for which I am personally thankful that we have the oversight..After all, who watches the watchers ?? God Bless all who must stand tall in this mess, again...Once again, the few make it hard for the many...
The views expressed here is common opinion of law enforcement as a whole..It sucks ,most are hard working men and women who do the job for the big bucks, oh yeah pay isn't that good..MUST BE FOR THE HONOR of SERVING... Remember all the friends who just kinda 'went away' after you were sworn in ??? Think about it, were they BAD people/Probably not, they just don't trust cops, period.
This article contains a lesson for all. Question is, are we listening ??

And... His father is the Captain...? OK.
Thumbs up for the Judge to deny bail.
Thumbs up for the DOJ and the FBI for getting involved to clean up this mess.

Boy am I happy that I retired over 15 year's ago, this type of thing is so far out there in this day and age. Let the lawfull process happen and then change out or rehire people for the whole Department. Thoses that are working there now after a proper background investigation should be the first hired or kept on the job.

33 year old police cheif? Thats the problem with law enforcement in PA. These tiny 5 man back water deptartmnets with no training and little or no hiring standards. I worked in PA as a deputy sheriff for a few years and now after seeing how a larger jurisdiction does things PA is simply way behind the times when it comes to policing. There is little or no over sight for these types of agencies and it is very much a good ol boy network. PA needs to come to the realization that not only do these types of departments have a higher rate of incidents like this but also its just economically smarter to just have a county or regional police force. Not 50 3 to 5 man agencies. Not all these agencies are bad but its just the fact that being from PA I hear about this type of stuff way to often.

As of now, it sounds as if this department needs a shake up from the top down.

This puts a HUGE black mark on that entire department. Unbelievable!!!
