The Phoenix Police Union (AZ PLEA) Demands We Hire A Chief of Police, Since Chief Jack "Ass" Harris is Too Busy to Fulfill the Duties


Way-to-go AZ PLEA and Mark Spencer!

You may all read AZ PLEA’s prepared statement here on what they think of Chief Jack "Ass" Harris, his policies and how Jack is single handedly destroying the City of Phoenix with his system of ineptitude:

http://www.azplea.com/docs/Public%20Safety%20Subcommittee%20Issues%204-28-09.pdf

We have stated all along that Jack Harris is inept, dishonest and just plain wrong.

We might add that he is unqualified to lead, arrogant, lazy and protects his buddy’s like the drunken Lieutenant Steve Soha (#4952), the racist Sergeant Mike Polombo (#4696) and the infamous porn connoisseur and now retired king-of-porn, Sergeant Ron Snodgrass.

AZPLEA represents over 2,600 “rank and file” officers in the Phoenix Police Department and attended a Public Safety subcommittee meeting on April 28th to demand we hire a real Chief of Police. Unfortunately Committee Chair Claude Mattox stated that PLEA's concerns centered around personnel issues which would have to be taken up directly with City Manager Frank Fairbanks – violating Arizona’s open meeting laws. Well, the next day PLEA did try to meet with Frank Fairbanks and after waiting for several hours, Frank was a no-show.




Mr. Mattox had an amazing opportunity to take a stand and make a difference, but all he showed is that he is just another City of Phoenix AssClown who can't think or make a decision. AZPLEA has since had their attorney file a complaint that Mr. Mattox is not adhering to the open meeting laws in Arizona.





We must publicly commend Mark Spencer and the rest of PLEA for speaking out and fighting the Public Safety Manager Jack Ass.

BEWARE though!

Don’t be surprised if your homes get raided, Mark!

Hide all your stuff now!

Keep it in your safe deposit box and place those important documents and data with your neighbors. You may also call our attorney Jess Lorona to represent you as many others in the Phoenix Police Department are currently doing, to handle all the upcoming 1st and 4th Amendment violations. We hear that some 4/5 people have “signed on” with Mr. Lorona, all related to this case.

We might also add that our Blogger Jeff has met with the ACLU and they will be helping him and Mr. Lorona in their case against the City of Phoenix, the Phoenix PD, Phil Gordon and Jack Harris. It's going to be a costly and very public fireworks show for sure!

It would be an interesting paradox to call for the raid on the leadership (PLEA) who speak for 2,600 officers in the Police Union…and then have those same officers carry out a raid…

We wonder if PLEA officers would follow Jack's orders...

11 Rifles Are Missing, And our Public Safety Jack Ass Has No Clue What Happened To Them

The Phoenix Police have misplaced 11 rifles and they can’t find them.

The last audit they performed was 2 years ago (!!!!) and since then, they realized that 11 of these rifles are missing - including some quite expensive Steyr-AUG rifles.

Now consider this: For all of you who work in an office, imagine if one day during an audit your company realized there were 11 computers (laptops) missing. What would be the repercussion? How would they find them? If they were stolen, how many people would be fired? We both know that heads would roll and someone would be accountable in a private Enterprise.

Now imagine this gaffe in an organization that you are paying for with tax dollars.

Considering these are guns that can actually kill someone, Jack Harris might have had a process in place to tag and follow all guns in the PPD, but that just makes too much sense as our Public Safety Manager. I know for sure in the last companies I have worked, there were asset tags on my chair, my laptop and my cell phone; and companies are now moving to RFID.

So 11 rifles are out there, costing somewhere between $8,000-$12,000 and no one has an explanation. SID isn’t investigating because they are too busy raiding citizen’s homes and looking for the missing Polombo nameplates…See the problem yet?

Some $8,000-$12,000 is missing or stolen and Chief Jack Ass is spending City resources looking for 50 cent nameplates for his racist buddy, Sergeant Mike Polombo (#4696). Maybe Chief Jack Ass should send SID over to Mike Polombo's garage to see if the missing 11 rifles are stored there with all the other evidence he keeps.

Ironically, Phoenix Police officers want the opportunity to purchase their own rifles, a topic that has been championed by the Policeman’s Union – AZPLEA. Jack Harris has denied that request. Imagine being told you can’t even spend your own money, to buy much needed rifles to protect your own life? Now do you think if these 11 rifles were personally owned and procured by officers in the Phoenix Police Department, that they would be missing now?

We doubt it, but this is why we call Jack, Chief Jack "Ass" Harris. We pay $90,000 in pension and $165,000 for Jack's salary annually, to get this outstanding service! Phil Gordon even gave him a 5th star for Jack's outstanding work. Too bad Jack's name wasn't "Richard" so we can just call him what we all think he is...a Dick.

...And like the photo shows, we predict this is going to end badly!

And for those of you interested, it looks like those Polombo nameplates are popping up again. We will be launching a site dedicated solely to pictures of those nameplates, so send them to us if you have them!

Jack Harris – Inept, Dishonest and Now Just Too Damn Lazy!

We have received so many calls on this latest topic and everyone has asked us to Blog about it. The latest news in Phoenix is that our inept and dishonest chief of police Jack Ass Harris can now add “lazy” to his descriptors. He resigned his position from the AZPOST in early April, on a count that, "he was too busy."

Now Jack…we know you can’t manage and can’t lead a starving dog to a bowl of food, but other than raiding outspoken citizen’s homes, how do you spend your time each day? Is it those apartments you own in La Jolla? Is it polishing your 5th star? Maybe it's masturbating while looking at yourself in a mirror...or perhaps a picture of mayor Phil "Mr. Bean" Gordon?

The article on the AZ PLEA site discusses this best here:

http://www.azplea.com/content.php?info_id=548&PHPSESSID=970083eb277b0bfc68f507c3dc78c7be

And we Blogged about the same topic last year. You can read about it here

http://badphoenixcops.blogspot.com/2008/09/when-is-police-chief-not-your-chief-of.html

AZPOST is responsible for providing "Standards" for all cops in the state of AZ and the certification for their Peace Officer accreditation. We pulled this right from the AZPOST website and the charter calls for:

"The Arizona Peace Officer Standards & Training Board (AZPOST) was originally comprised of nine members, appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Board included two sheriffs, two chiefs of police, a college faculty member in public administration or a related field, the state attorney general, the director of the Department of Public Safety, and two public members. In 1977, the statutes were revised to require one sheriff come from a county with a population exceeding 200,000 and one sheriff from a county with a population less than 200,000. Additionally, one police chief was to be from a city with a population exceeding 60,000 and one from a city with a population less than 60,000. In 1984, Board membership was expanded with the addition of the director of the Arizona Department of Corrections and an administrator of a county or municipal correctional facility."

So since Jack isn’t technically the “chief of police” and is the “public safety manager” we thought he couldn’t sit on the Board of AZPOST and should be replaced.

It appears Jack simply resigned because "he was too busy” and didn’t bother to tell anyone, violating his own Operations Order. Now there is no representation for the City of Phoenix (and for all the good cops) because wannabe chief Jack Ass Harris is "just too busy."

Unbelievable! We just can't make this stuff up. And one wonders why we refer to him as Assclown, JackAss and Fucktard?!!?
Someone did send us a childhood photo of chief Jack Ass Harris. It appears his gustapo tactics began early...

A Great Article on the Phoenix Crime Lab - Times Publications & the Befuddled Mess Named Asst. Chief, Tracy Montgomery


We have blogged on many occasions about the Phoenix Police Department’s befuddled Crime Lab under the leadership of one of the worst Assistant Chiefs, Tracy Montgomery(#4515). Now, others are taking notice, as well. More specifically, we are referring to an article reported in the April 2009 issue of the Times Publication titled, Justice Delayed.
http://www.timespublications.com/home.asp

The article was written by a great journalist, Shanna Hogan, and explains how 7 people are dead in Phoenix at the hands of two of the PPD’s finest: Chief Jack “Ass” Harris and Tracy Montgomery. BPC takes it a step further and believes that Mark Goudeau deserves a retrial. Our first issue is the existance another suspect that was never vetted out by the lead detective, Alex Femenia. The other issue is the fact that Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas and his sidekick, Keith Manning, have been holding onto the report of this other suspect since August of 2008.

It’s important to keep in mind that, during the Baseline Killer Investigation and while 7 additional people were being murdered, Detective Mike Polombo (#4696) and Heather Polombo (#6237) began their now much blogged about affair and started knocking boots on city time. As tax payers in Phoenix, we paid for them to exchange DNA. Also keep in mind that Mike Polombo was storing crime evidence in his garage. We have often wondered where the chain-of-custody forms were for the evidence in his garage and why he wasn’t fired – but then realized that he is a friend of Jack Ass Harris, allowed to bang his subordinate, and to harass a good detective named Dave Barnes.

As the article explains, the Phoenix crime lab is back-logged with some 30,000 samples (that’s no typo - 30,000!!!) with no means or strategy to dig themselves out. We might also add that, while the lab is in turmoil and samples aren’t being processed, the lab’s arrogant leader, Tracy Montgomery, spends her time practicing her putt in the hallway and updating her FaceBook page. As we have mentioned in the past, other than Tracy getting her own Pap smear, Tracy has no lab experience, has never worked in a lab and doesn’t understand how a lab works. We actually have worked in a lab and have probably forgotten more than Tracy will ever know. We also putt a whole lot better, but we leave putting to a golf course.

For those of you who think we pick on Tracy solely because she is an outspoken Lesbian, we have this to offer: We don’t chastise her for being a Lesbian; we chastise her ineptitude and poor lab management skills. She got the job because she was a Friend of Jack Ass Harris and because the Phoenix City Manager, Frank Fairbanks, likes to promote "diversity" - or as our cop sources call it, "Frank's Rainbow Diversity Program." We are all for promoting diversity, but only when the candidate is qualified to do the job, and we don't think you should get a job solely because you a black, handicapped, female, gay, or are a Friend of Jack Ass Harris. There are many fine women and men in the PPD who are gay, and they have far more skill sets and discretion then Tracy Montgomery. One would hope that promotions are given by the content of one's character, their leadership abilities and one's ability to get a job done - not by how many conquests they have or how and who they bed. As the first and only woman to hold an Assistant Chief position in Phoenix, she has a large load to carry and we don’t think that includes posting photos of herself and her “friends” on FaceBook, or dating every woman in the police department and the county attorney's office. It’s also amazing that a person like Tracy with so much on her plate can selfishly and thoughtlessly hold outlandish parties at her home that are disruptive to her entire neighborhood. Hey Tracy, ever hear of OVERTIME??? Instead of trying to get laid, why not put in a few extra hours at the lab and help process the backlog or meet with a real lab to figure out an outsourcing plan and get some ideas to address the 30,000+ backlog? Oh yeah, that’s right … you don’t know how.

The Phoenix Police Department blames the lab issues on “software problems” - we have repeatedly offered our assistance to come in and fix these “problems”, but have yet to be taken up on it. We think it really isn’t a “software problem”, but more of a “Tracy Montgomery can't lead or manage her way out of a paperbag, problem”. When one of the detectives, Dave Barnes, complained about the lab, he was demoted to work patrol! Tracy Montgomery has since shutdown her FaceBook page as she tired of our posting all of her photos here!

It's quite apparent that the likes of Polombo and Montgomery never received the "Don't Shit Where You Eat" discussion from any mentors or from Chief Jack Ass Harris. Our sources tell us that Tracy's father was a cop - one of the good ones - and he must be disgusted with her actions and behavior.
So enjoy the article and, if you feel so moved, please email any of the names to the right and let them know your disgust about the Phoenix Crime Lab.
REMEMBER: All Phoenix Police officer's and official's emails are first.last@phoenix.gov , so feel free to ping them with your thoughts and ideas on how to fix our Lab, or just ask the simple question: "What is your plan to process the backlog of 30,000+ requests in the Phoenix Crime Lab and what did you say to the 7 families that lost someone due to your inability to manage our Crime Lab?"
The chief of Police Jack Ass Harris likes to hide behind his assistant's email lisa.coombe@phoenix.gov, and you may find the others at tracy.montgomery@phoenix.gov, frank.fairbanks@phoenix.gov, mike.polombo@phoenix.gov

Racism in the Phoenix PD and More Civil Rights Violations – The True Story of Phoenix Police Officers Mike Polombo (#4696) and Heather Polombo (#6237)

We are glad to see that PLEA – the Arizona Policeman’s Union - is taking up the cause to fight the rampant racism and Civil Rights violations in the Phoenix Police Department.

Here is a link that one might find interesting from the PLEA website and how they are handling the rampant racism in the Phoenix PD:
http://www.azplea.com/content.php?info_id=537



We continue to Blog about the infamous TWS report on the Mark Goudeau case. We know some of you are tired of it, but it is an important cog in the wheel. If you are fairly new to this site or want to refresh your memory about the Goudeau case, click on the link below: http://badphoenixcops.blogspot.com/2009/03/homicide-and-thier-lies-with-andrew.html



There have been massive cover-ups and fraud in the Mark Goudeau-Baseline Killer case. The DNA match was 3 out of 13 - roughly 23% on a swab that was misplaced for over a year. Mark Goudeau was not a suspect early on because his cell phone records proved he wasn't in the location on most of the murders, now those records have disappeared and Alltel can no longer search for those records. The County Attorney's office (specifically Keith Manning and Andrew Thomas) has purposefully held back evidence since August of 2008, and was recently ordered by a judge to turn the reports over to Mark Goudeau's legal team. They are now lying, stating they only recently uncovered these reports and that they were already disclosed to Mark Goudeau's attorney. This cover up runs throughout the Maricopa County Attorney's office and the Phoenix Police Department.


Here’s why this is important and how it all ties together:

On the PLEA website and in a letter to Sheriff Joe, it is mentioned that a sergeant and a lieutenant had made racist comments. One supervisor is quoted as saying, “…there would be no surprise on their part if other Violent Crimes Bureau (VCB) managers engaged in planting evidence. This same supervisor stated that when VCB management was presented on multiple occasions with potentially exonerating evidence that may have had exculpatory value to Goudeau, the response from both a VCB sergeant and a VCB lieutenant was, why would you give that nigger an alibi?”

We have heard repeatedly that the “VCB Sergeant” in this comment is Sergeant Mike Polombo (#4696). PLEA won't directly state that, but we will. Sergeant Mike Polombo (#4696) has been investigated for referring to Asst. Chief Kevin Robinson as a “house nigger” and a few years back for referring to constituents in an area adjacent to South Mountain as “a bunch of niggers” and "buckwheats." Anyone who knows Mike Polombo or has worked with Mike Polombo knows he is racist and uses the word “nigger” as often as Mark Furman.




Now here is how this story comes full circle and why the home of one of our Bloggers, Jeff Pataky, was raided:

BadPhoenixCops has been exceptionally critical of the actions of both Mike Polombo (#4969) and Heather Polombo (#6237) on this Blog – and rightfully so.

1) Heather was a subordinate of Mike’s during the Baseline Murder Investigation.

2) Mike and Heather began having an affair during the Baseline Murder Investigation and met repeatedly while on duty to bump uglies.

3) Mike Polombo kept evidence from various cases in the garage of his personal residence. He shared this home with his then wife.

4) Mike’s wife, upon learning of the affair, contacted the Phoenix PD and told them to come and collect the evidence in her garage; otherwise, the next call would be to the media/news outlets. The Phoenix police came and collected the evidence from the garage. Divorce proceedings followed.

5) Although it is against Phoenix Police Department policy to bang your subordinate (especially during such a high profile and important investigation), Mike was never written up or reprimanded for his sexual indiscretions with Heather. Why? Because his manager, Benny Pina (who was one of the leaders in the cover-up of the Baseline killer Case), was having his own affair! This is a textbook example of 'quid-pro-quo'.

6) The sordid story of Mike and Heather Polombo (yes, they married) has been detailed on the Blog. Heather was notorious for her promiscuous actions in the parking lot of the Maryvale precinct of Phoenix.

7) The Blogger whose home was raided was told numerous times to, “watch your back” and was warned by many in the Phoenix PD that, “Polombo is out to get you.”

8) It was well known that Mike Polombo was roaming the Phoenix Police Department trying to find any information on Blogger Jeff including where he lived, his income and where we was employed.

9) Mike Polombo consulted with his own attorney attempting to sue and/or shut down BadPhoenixCops - as did Assistant Chief Tracy Montgomery (#4515). They were both told about the First Amendment (we all learned this in 4th grade) and were also informed that, being police officers, they are public figures who are open to public criticism and scrutiny.

10) Mike Polombo went on “stress leave” and used the website BadPhoenixCops as his reason. This was to help build his case for “harassment.”

11) The raiding of the home and the newspaper articles are alluding to Computer Fraud with the intent to Harass, along with Petty Theft. The Harassment is of both Mike and Heather Polombo - the Petty Theft claim is of their nameplates. We also heard they were trying to include Asst. Chief Tracy Montgomery in this, too.

12) SIDs other channel and approach to this could have been to investigate Dave Barnes 1st, then try to subpoena documents via a Grand Jury for the Blogger of BadPhoenixCops. Since the name plates are a misdemeanor, they would have had a tough time selling this to a Grand Jury. So their only other option was to use the only power the Phoenix police had, and raid the residences.

13) Our inside sources tell us that the Phoenix PD already has tried to submit this to the County Prosecutor, but they won’t touch it with a 39 1/2 foot pole as they already know the problems plaguing this case.

Mike Polombo is a notorious friend of Chief Jack Ass Harris. He has personally covered up many of the indiscretions of police officers and has done countless favors for Jack Harris, both personally and professionally. He worked for Jack Ass Harris when Jack headed up the Professional Standards Bureau (more commonly known in other cities as Internal Affairs) and helped cover up the rape of the former police chief's son - who happens to be a current police Sergeant out of 900. Polombo is known as "Teflon Mike" and is one of the dirtiest, rotten cops one could come across. The good cops hate Mike, know he is dirty and refer to him as Mr. Potato Head. Mike and Heather do not like all of the Potato Head photos with copies of their nameplates. We encourage everyone to submit photos of nameplates and Potato Heads from around the globe! This Blog tells you how to get some.


http://badphoenixcops.blogspot.com/2009/03/badphoenixcops-found-some-nameplates.html

youtube.com/watch?v=YdR-i4ejBN0




On October 18, 2007, Mike Polombo was the source behind a Notice of Investigation (NOI) against Detective Dave Barnes. On February 18, 2008 (4 months later) the NOI concluded that, “No information was found which would support the allegations listed on the Notice of Investigation” and since it was no longer an “Investigation” but merely an”Inquiry” by the department, no indicia, records or materials that Mike Polombo provided to warrant the investigation would be known. Mike Polombo simply “made shit up” to have Dave Barnes investigated for no reason other than to harass him. And you're crying harassment by us, Potato Head?


So, how do all of these pieces fit together to create ONE BIG UGLY PICTURE???

The cover-up and racism in the Goudeau case; the never-ending investigations into Detective Dave Barnes; the raids of the homes of our Blogger, Jeff Pataky, and Detective Dave Barnes (who are both hypercritical of the Goudeau case as well as Sergeant Michael Polombo) - it is all directly tied to the biggest racist scum bag in the Phoenix Police Department, Sergeant Michael Polombo (#4696), and his wife Heather Polombo (#6237).

Public tax payer dollars and City of Phoenix resources are being spent for private gain and Chief Jack Ass Harris, Mayor Phil Gordon and City Manager Frank Fairbanks are allowing it to happen - all for the search and recovery of nameplates and potato heads!

We will continue to Blog at every given opportunity - about the Phoenix Police Department, Racist Sergeant Mike Polombo (#4696), his camp-follower wife Heather Polombo (#6237), or any other Phoenix public officials who abuse their positions and encourage the corruption of Jack Ass Harris.

We aren't afraid of the Phoenix Police department, nor is Blogger Jeff afraid of Potato Head Polombo.

The Internal Memo We Probably Shouldn't Have

The e-mail below was sent out this past Tuesday, March 31, to many in the Phoenix PD.

Thanks to all those faithful and loyal sources that provided it to us. It's at least nice to see that someone with some common sense (Stephen Craig - City Attorney) is informing all those involved to tread lightly and is letting them know that they are in a precarious position by stealing and holding privileged attorney/client information.

Why can't we simply fire Jack Harris, throw him in jail, and shit-can all of the idiot FOJs and asst. chiefs, too?

Where is the DOJ when you need them?!?!

Importance: High

All:

Attached is a memo from the City Attorney implementing a litigation hold for Pataky 2. A claim was filed by Mr. Jeffrey Pataky against the City of Phoenix on March 18, 2009. The claim arises out of the service of an allegedly retaliatory search warrant by PPD on March 9, 2009. Mr. Pataky alleges that the search warrant actually was in response to critical comments he made about the Phoenix Police Department on badphoenixcops.com; that the retaliatory search warrant was falsely obtained and constituted a violation of his constitutional rights; and, that items were removed which were not covered by the search warrant. These complaints, for ease of reference, are referred to as “Pataky 2.” The City of Phoenix, its officers, agents, and employees, are under a legal obligation to preserve all information potentially relevant to the issues raised in Pataky 2. The attached litigation hold memo is the first step in that process. To all Key Personnel and Technical Staff, please respond with an e-mail to me confirming that you have read the attached memo directing you to preserve potentially relevant information; that you understand that you are expected to follow these instructions and to contact me, your department, or your IT staff with any questions; that you intend to follow these instructions; and, that you understand that failure to do so may lead to adverse consequences for you and for the City (Gee...ya think?).

Ms. Coombe, please confirm on your behalf and, when authorized by Jack to do so, on Jack's behalf as well. Eric, please confirm on your behalf, and please coordinate with Ret. Lt. Mark Zingg and Ret. Lt. Linda Johnson, to obtain confirmations from them as well.
