Still a dumb move in Julian's part for not letting the public know his future plans for the parish. I don't know about everyone else but I do not want a man running things for my Parish if he can't be up front and let me know his plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-668203305796220442011-10-16T15:39:22.503-05:002011-10-16T15:39:22.503-05:00Yes the department has great potential. The times ...Yes the department has great potential. The times did have an article about the raises ans budget. You have lawsuits against deputies and things that are never made public which isnt uncommon. However its weird when you work there and not long after a lawsuit you hear of people getting promotions. Again it doesn't matter as much who wins but change needs to take place. Julian has yet ti reply to peoples questions about his plans for the agency or parish. He replied to an email about his plans and states he appreciates the interest in the election. That is a stupid response. Why wouldn't a citizen be concerned with who will be responsible for patrolling their area when they are out if town or home or even responding to a call when needing help. And it was stupid because he avoided the questions in the email that was about a page long and answered it in about 2 sentences. Maybe Julian did not have time for the email. Maybe Bossier parish don't need ti have time for julian or his politics if this is the best he can do for the citizens concerns. Also weird that a man had a Mcconnell sign in his yard on northside dr. And it was stolen the other night. Ironically there is a deputy who lives on the street. However numerous signs have been stolen of mcconnells.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-11223155804937365432011-10-15T13:02:26.644-05:002011-10-15T13:02:26.644-05:0011:48

I too am a former deputy who left years ago because I wasn't willing to go along with all the foolishness in that department. The very reason I set my sights on that department for my law enforcement career was because of what you said . . . its potential. If the right person comes in and does the right things, whether it's Whittington, McConnell, Matlock or someone off the street, that agency could be great. The department could recruit and draw the best of the best from every agency around, and not just for the pay. <br /><br />I have said before . . . if the people who wouldn't know only knew they would be blown away. I think the department is borderline dysfunctional. It only survives because it is a government agency. <br /><br />I only hope that whoever becomes sheriff has the courage to do the difficult things that will need to be done. And the deputies, even the really valuable ones, should expect major changes that will affect them personally. The payscale was published in a Times opinion article . . . there is no justification for deputy sheriffs making this kind of money from the taxpayers, not to mention their retirement benefits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-5761298785691302242011-10-14T23:48:04.210-05:002011-10-14T23:48:04.210-05:00Those who think that BPSO is the best agency aroun...Those who think that BPSO is the best agency around have no idea what you are talking about. I am a former deputy as well. Kinda weird how you have so many former deputies on here commenting. Probably because we are the main ones who want to see change. We are the main ones who see the potential the Sheriff's Office does have to be the best agency. They have all the right resources and a good bit of the equipment. Their problem is leadership. I also worked with McConnell and I can tell that person above who commented about his insubordination that the statement is false. He was never in trouble for that. You were probably told that by another deputy who is a Julian supporter and wanted you to do exactly what you did and spread that story. What he did do was actually make good arrest and didn't look like an idiot in court. The man knows his stuff. I also have family who is retired from SPD who worked with McConnell there. They have nothing but great things to say about him and his knowledge. Whether he wins this position or not we will not know just yet. But in my opinion he has already won. He has taken a stand for what he believes in and wants to change. This is what many people would love to atleast attempt to do. At the end of the day the citizens of Bossier have to decide what they want. Do they want a man who knows the law and wants to change things for the better and is willing to try new things? Or do they want a man who sat and watched things happen for 22 years and never did a thing? 22 years paid off great for him as he was basically forced into retirement from BSO after he was over looked by his cousin for #2 position which was not supposed to happen because his father put up a good bit of the money for Deen's campaign years ago. He was moved from the Courthouse to Chief of Corrections. If he does get it then I hope he makes changes that he does know need to happen and dont just go with what has worked for all these years and collect him a check for a couple of terms and retire and not care. I hope that whoever it is that does win will actually care about what the citizens want and not just the power trip. It doesn't matter to me who wins as long as things get better in the Parish and in the Department.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-17606797405538954212011-10-14T11:37:21.956-05:002011-10-14T11:37:21.956-05:00Blog posts go in by date.
