The Email No One Is Supposed to See – PSB Commander Dave Harvey Admits That Phoenix PD Internal Affairs Is Pretty Fucked Up!

Have you ever had one of those moments when you call someone out on something, and they readily admit that you were right?  It can be an exhilarating feeling and knowing that the person you thought was going to go on defense, ultimately agrees with you.

 

Now imagine this is the Phoenix PDs PSB unit (Internal Affairs) – the same group that is charged with investigating cops and holding them accountable.  This group has just had every dumb assclown and misfit -  from the stupid Stan Hoover to the lying Jeff Hynes leading it.  Jeff Hynes was the former commander who was added to the BRADY list in 1996 for lying, yet he was given the opportunity to investigate the integrity of Phoenix cops. Now this lying bag a dick-cheese is retired, teaching at local colleges

His bio should include his integrity was brought into question and thus added to the BRADY list.

The new PSB commander is Dave Harvey, a true moronic assclown who was caught in photos drinking on the job – but he too was given the opportunity to lead PSB. And one wonders why we call the acting chief Joe Yahner, city manager David Cavasos along with his bumbling assistant city manager Ed Zuercher, a bunch of spineless pussies?!!?

Below is an email no one was supposed to see. Yet again, we ask and we receive.  Dave Harvey surely didn’t expect this to get posted to the Internet. It was sent in reply to Dave Adams when he questioned Harvey on the unfair and biased antics of PSB.  Enjoy the read.  If you ever need to contact PSB, you now have the commander’s direct email and phone number. When you call, be sure to ask him what qualifies him to investigate the integrity and honesty of police officers when he was caught drinking on the job?

Dear Sgt. Dave Adams, PPSLA Grievance Committee Chairman:

This email is in response to your two emails regarding our meeting a couple of weeks ago. Clearly you are frustrated.

Thank you and another PPSLA Rep for your tenacity to point out the imperfections of PSB. It seems through the IBR process, we have made some improvements in processes and communications involving PSB and PPSLA and PLEA. We also have spent an inordinate amount of time focusing on a minimal number of cases. I think in the past, there was not an open dialogue, and I feel communication is the key.

Bottom line with this investigation from 2009 - A Lieutenant noted that his sergeant had an inordinate amount of overtime and instituted processes to limit this sergeant's overtime. The sergeant began submitting alternative methods for overtime and an audit was conducted. This ultimately identified one of several overtime slips in question. When the sergeant was interviewed he was less than truthful and painted himself into a corner regarding this particular training date. Several other employees attended and were interviewed by PSB.

These interviews seem to be your focus. PSB had the interviews transcribed. I have read the reports and the transcripts. John has done the same. John and I met with you and through the discussion, I don’t believe that you ever articulated what you want.

Are the interviews perfect, no.  Are there leading questions or investigators finishing answers, yes. I don’t know as the Commander for PSB for the last 11 months what you want for me to do. I will always accept opportunities for my folks to attend training to improve the professionalism and expertise of PSB. I feel that my investigators have their hearts in the right place. I feel that I am promoting an atmosphere of fairness and consistentcy.(sic)

Please, if there is something that I am missing, let me know. If it is your duty to point out that PSB "made mistakes" on this case. Duly noted. Or if it is to "I could go on and on with this type of performance in many investigations." Duly noted.

Yes, I too am frustrated.

All I can do as the current PSB Commander is keep the dialogue open, and insure that current and future cases under my watch, include PPSLA in the dialogue through the investigative process so that PSB and PPSLA and PLEA have a healthy working relationship.

Your statement, "PPSLA would ask that PSB remove the prosecutorial/defense relationship that exists and allow and encourage the interaction necessary for fair and consistent investigations."

This philosophy goes both ways. I promise to hold up my end and lets focus forward. This should give you a better idea "on how PPSLA can decide how to move forward."

Dave Harvey, Commander

Potato Head Mike Polombo Enters DROP

As citizens we only need put up with 5 years of this moronic assclown screwing up homicide investigations, lying during investigations, storing evidence in his garage, fucking female cops at Police conferences in Las Vegas, patrolling his own neighborhood armed, and crying like a sissy bitch about being harassed on the Internet. 

Maybe we could convince Mike Polombo to make a full-time job of scuba diving based on his last diving problem? The only things that would like Mike Polombo would be sharks, but then again, we don't think sharks will eat human shit.

Our work is now cut out for us. 

BadPhoenixCops has the task to ensure that Mike Polombo is adequately immersed in the search engines and on the Internet so that he will never findemployment in any law enforcement capacity.  What do you call someone who is the opposite of the MIDAS TOUCH?  It’s now called MIKE POLOMBO. With our luck the only employment he may find is as one way dive instructor! 

Oh yeah – and this does serve a useful purpose Mike, telling everyone what a dirty lying, wife cheating pig you are and how you abandoned your family for a whore known for her phenomenal work with a tube steak.  So call your lawyer, call Theron Quaas for another interview and go fuck Jack Harris in the ass while you’re at it!

Mike’s not the only one who entered DROP.

BRADY Veteran Jeff Hynes Enters DROP too

...that Commander and long-time BRADY veteran Geoffrey Hynes has also entered DROP and the 5 year clock is ticking for him as well.  We hear Jeff Hynes wants to pursue a career as a teacher or educator.  Our job is to ensure all universities are well aware that this guy was on BRADY as well as all recruiters in that sector.

A Letter of Request for a PSB Investigation into Mike and Heather Polombo - BRADY VIOLATIONS - Sent to Ed Zuercher and David Cavasos in the city of Phoenix

Read the letter our blogger sent to city manager David Cavasos and asst. city manager Ed Zuercher requesting a PSB investigation into Mike and Heather Polombo, for lying.

We wonder if they will ignore another whistleblower with the Office of Inspector General watching?

Whistleblowers need protection, but for some reason no one in Phoenix city government seems to care!

Oh yeah...one more thing...the blog is up to 13,000 hits per month...and GROWING. 

BOOM goes the dynamite!

Phoenix Police Department BRADY LIST

“Brady Cops” are the worst of the worst. They are the liars and the ones that lack integrity. This is the list that recent citizen murderer Richard Chrisman is on.

When you are a cop and your name is added to "Brady" it means you can’t testify in court.

Most notable on this list is commander Jeoffrey Hynes – The leader of Professional Standards Bureau (Phoenix PD Internal Affairs).

So what’s that saying when the commander of Internal Affairs – the group that is the police for police – is on the Brady List?

Another great decision by Jack Ass Harris.










Phoenix Police Department BRADY LIST

Jeoffrey Hynes was part of the Steyr-AUG incident that happened back in the mid-1990s. A few cops lost their jobs over this. 

Jeoffrey Hynes delayed his career for quite a few years and remained a lieutenant for quite some time as a result. In essence, a few cops bought guns and lied about how they were being used. Jeoffrey Hynes was one of the officers who lied.

Below are the disciplinary reviews of the officers in the Steyr-AUG incident. Jeoffrey Hynes report is the first one.

Oh yeah...we're not supposed to have these disciplinary reviews...but we do!

Steyr-AUG and Jeoffrey Hynes

A Phoenix Cop Shoots a Citizen and His Dog for No Other Reason Than He is On a Power Trip. Does Absolute Power Corrupt Absolutely? We Think So.

Another sad story about a citizen who was shot by a power hungry cop … and cops continue to wonder why they are not treated with respect?

Here’s the story from the Arizona Republic:

A Dirty Phoenix Cop Kills an Unarmed Citizen in Phoenix

This poor woman calls the Phoenix police to teach her angry son a lesson and he ends up being shot and killed by Phoenix police officer, Richard Chrisman. The mother, Elvira Fernandez was quoted, “I made the wrong choice calling the police.”

Yes you did Ms. Fernandez, yes you did.

Lesson number one in Phoenix:
Do not call the police and never talk to them. Try to handle your problems on your own. Ms. Fernandez, one can only hope that the names “Polombo” or “Knott” or "Pina" aren’t tied to your case otherwise there will be a cover-up or a mistake in officer Chrisman’s favor.

Over the past few years we have witnessed the depraved behavior of the Phoenix PD.  A few months back a friend of BPC witnessed a crime and after speaking with us, they chose to walk away and never reported it. Our advice is to never call the cops, let alone allow them to interview you or allow yourself to be a witness to anything for them.

Check out the links if you don’t believe us.  They're a bit long, but worth the watch:

Why You Never Talk to Cops - A Lawyer's Perspective

Why You Never Talk to Cops - A Cop's Perspective

The crime our friend witnessed wasn’t anything horrific, but when they asked our advice if they should file a report as a witness, we told them “HELL NO!” Don’t waste your time dealing with Phoenix cops and run the risk of some power hungry assclown responding to a call or worse - putting a good honest cop's job in jeopardy.  This advice comes to us from cops - good cops on the Phoenix PD.  The only time we will speak to cops is when they give us dirt on shitbags like Jack Harris and all the Friends of Jack (FOJs).

The Phoenix PD simply can’t be trusted on any level with a corrupt, lying public safety manager like Jack Harris at its helm. If the leader is a lying double-dipping piece of trash, it will eventually infect those he manages. Now we’re not saying everyone under Jack is a piece of shit but most on the 4th floor, the asst. chiefs and those in any leadership position that are not petitioning for Jack Harris to be removed and/or requesting a consent decree on our city is a party to the lies and corruption.  This applies to everyone in the city manager's office, the Mayor's office and the Phoenix city council.

The line that strikes the most within this article and probably best sums up the attitude of a Police force under Jack Harris is this one: “Chrisman responded by holding his service weapon to the man's temple and stating that he didn't need a warrant…motherfucker”
And then there’s the dog ... he shot a barking puppy? Can we now do that in Phoenix if we hear dogs bark or is that power only given to dirty cops?

"All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority."
                                                                                               - Lord Acton, 1881
                                            
As things progress what the public will find is both officer Chrisman and officer Virgillo have less than stellar records and are not good honest cops.  At least one of them was on the BRADY list - a list where lying dirty cops can't testify.  What most cops can't quite figure out is why Virgillo - a dirty cop himself who's background will immediately exclude him as a star witness - would not cover for Chrisman.  And why did Virgillo's conscience decide to kick-in a full 5 hours after the incident occured? Is the Thin Blue Line broken among dirty cops? Maybe Chrisman had dirt on Virgillo and this is Virgillo's way of getting back?  Only time will tell.

We have blogged numerous times on this issue of cops often thinking they are above the law, going so far as to demand it be a felony for any type of assault against them! That is sort of ironic since they choose this job and want their lives specialized above the people they are sworn to protect???!!

It’s pure insanity and we can only hope the worst for officer Richard Chrisman.

And for those of you saying BRADY list veteran Chrisman is innocent until proven guilty, well then what would you say to Ms. Elvira Fernandez?

Should we ask if she has an extra bicycle for sale or a trailer for rent? Since Danny was supporting his mom, will the Phoenix PD or any of the unions augment her lost income?

We already see the interviews on TV of fellow cops towing the Blue Line with hypocritical statements like, "everyone is innocent until proven guilty," but these cops are the first ones to pounce and call the media when they arrest the likes of Mark Goudeau, good cops or bloggers who are critical of them. 

Funny how when it's one of their own they say we shouldn't jump to conclusions. 

If the roles were reversed and Danny Rodriquez killed Chrisman, we would see all the political leaders assembling on the bandwagon at Christ Church of the Valley for the big procession (at tax payer expense - mind you) and crying about another dead officer and how we should support the Chrisman family through car washes and other charities.  Rodriquez would have already been arraigned and charge with a capital murder and bail would have been set at $5 million dollars. Phoenix city mayor Phil Gordon would be petitioning Washington DC with a bottle of oxycontin in his pocket and his whore home-wrecking girlfriend at his side, chiding, "Mexican mafia," "better border control," and, "Phoenix is the kidnapping capital of the world."

The Phoenix police need to think long and hard about cops murdering citizens.  As long as Jack Harris is leading the Phoenix police department, things are only going to get worse.

There's a war being raged in Phoenix and it's not against Mexican cartels or whatever else the Phoenix PD wants you to believe. Unfortunately this is one citizens can't afford to sit out.  It's not going to end unless Jack Harris, the FOJs and most of the 4th floor are indicted, arrested and suppressed by an outside federal agency.  Don't come crying to us when folks in South Phoenix start suppressing cops using officer Richard Chrisman's method.
