Jack Harris sits on the Board of AZ POST (the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board)We were able to obtain the meeting minutes from their site on their August 20, 2008 meeting. Jack Harris was in attendance at this meeting. On Page 3 of these meeting minutes, there is an entry for “Case # 8 – Stephen Boltz – Scottsdale Police Department.”
Here is a link to the site page with the meeting minutes
Scroll down to August 20, 2008 and read the minutes of the meeting Jack Harris attended.
Why is this important?
It’s clear, Jack Harris attended the meeting on August 20, 2008. Records show this.
What is paramount is Jack Harris’ vote on an 8-month suspension of this Scottsdale Officer (Stephen Boltz ) The AZ POST minutes state “...seconded by Mr. Duarte, motion carried unanimously.” When Jack Harris’ friend and buddy Ron Snodgrass (#2141) was brought up on similar charges and much worse – he was accused of creating a hostile work environment for a female worker and sexually harassing her – all Ron received was a written reprimand from Jack Harris in the PPD. The Board on the PPD that reviewed Ron Snodgrass’ case recommended an 8 hour suspension – but Ron Snodgrass’ friend Jack Harris overruled it by scribing “written reprimand.”
We can only assume that it is the chief’s discretion whether or not to bring such cases to AZ Post meeting. Naturally, Ron Snodgrass was never ever addressed at AZ POST. So the wanna-be -chief-but-really-just-a-citizen-like-the-rest-of-us, Jack Harris will vote for the 8 month suspension of a Scottsdale cop who only viewed and stored porno images on his own, work computer; but when Jack’s friend takes it further by having images on his desk, shows them to woman, and uses innuendo and dirty talk to get a married woman in bed; then all Jack gives his friend Ron, is a written reprimand???
Think something about this is rotten? Then read a little further on Ron Snodgrass.
Ron Snodgrass is a trainer with a company called Preferred Training Solutions, LLC in Glendale, AZ. These folks appear to run Early Warning/Intervention Systems Conferences. While most might commend Ol’ Ron Snodgrass for his entrepreneurial spirit, most of you might be shocked to know that the website lists his former boss Dan Olson (a Lieutenant with the PPD), in PSB as a co-founder. (The website was changed recently to remove Dan's name - but we found it!)
It is also to be rumored that Ron is a founder himself, but we are confirming that with the AZ Corporate Commission records. The AZ records state that the business was formed in the name of Kenneth Johnson (another PPD officer) in January, 2003. He later added another Johnson (most likely his wife) - Laurie Jean, to the LLC in October, 2006.

(It's nice these public records request can't be lost, misplaced or destroyed by Stan Hoover!)
Now think about this for just a second.
You are working in a side business, where your boss is listed as a co-founder. Do you think for just a minute that your boss might be slightly apprehensive to properly manage you, reprimand you, suspend you or fire you? Now do you think Dan Olson lost his position as "co-founder" on the website, or do you think someone was trying to hide the fact that he (and Ron Snodgrass) is/are affiliated with Preferred Training Solutions, LLC?

God help us all if Ron Snodgrass is instructing officers nationwide as the site states. Is it classes on how to download good porn? The cause and effect of plastic surgery on ugly women? How to use a "C" drive to hide your granny and tranny porn? How to sexually harass employees that are attractive, blonde females and not get caught? How to host a meeting, not invite someone, then reprimand them for not coming?
Sweet Jesus - I can't believe these cops are actually sworn to protect us!
You can bet as soon as this BLOG is posted, these guys will significantly modify their site or shut it down to hide Ron Snodgrass and Dan Olson.
When we talk about FOJ - Friends of Jack - and Jacks inability to reprimand his friends and cover up investigations - this is what we mean.
Guys – there is absolutely something Rotten in Denmark – or at least in the Commander structure of the Phoenix PD. Corruption, nepotism and cronyism are rampant. Until Jack Harris, Phil Gordon and Frank Fairbanks leave, or the DOJ comes in, nothing will change.
Hence this is why we have this site and our BLOG.
