Lieutenant Joe Knott and his Criminal Investigation on Missing Name Plates

Have you ever seen the movie, The Caine Mutiny?

It was made in 1954 and starred Humphrey Bogart, Van Johnson, Fred MacMurray and Jose Ferrer. Bogart got nominated for an Oscar and it was one of his last great performances before he died. It was based on a novel about a mine sweeper ship called the Caine with a crazy Lieutenant Commander Francis Queeg (played by Bogart). The most famous scene and breaking point in this movie is after Lt. Commander Queeg notices a quart of strawberries missing, he has a full blown investigation into who ate them.




Queeg berates his officers for their uniforms and has absurd investigations for no reason. His officers eventually Mutiny after the strawberry investigation and a court martial ensues. It’s a great story and a great metaphor for what happened today with the latest Assclown in the PPD, Lieutenant Joe Knott.

Today, Lieutenant Joe Knott began a criminal investigation on the missing name plates of Heather Polombo and Mike Polombo.

Yeah.

Let me tell you that again at Steve Soha speed….

Lieutenant Joe Knott (Queeg) began his criminal investigation into missing name plates (quart of missing strawberries)! Name plates....you know those little signs with your name, that are attached to your door or your cube? Someone stole Heather and Mike Polombo's name plates.

Each detective was called in, and read their Miranda Rights. PSB is doing an internal investigation too, to find the now infamous nameplate thief.


1st: To any and all detectives in Homicide and all friends of BPC:

You tell Joe Knott, one thing and one thing only if you are part of this bogus investigation. Tell Joe, “I have obtained counsel and you may speak to them and them alone. And our friends at BPC told us, to tell you, to go Fuck yourself Joe.” Say nothing and do nothing else. Get up and walk out, go back to your desk and do your job. Don't tolerate this AssClown and his bullshit investigation. This is free legal advice from our own legal department.

2nd: This is our open call to all officers of the PPD: We want any and all information on Lieutenant Joe Knott. Anything, any of you can dig up. Any information about him and his career with the PPD will be posted here.

And to Lieutenant Joe Knott: You are not longer Joe Knott. You are now Balloon Knott.
Think about what a balloon knott is Joe. Google it, if you must.


How dare you waste our taxpayer dollars on a name plate criminal investigation, while no one investigates Mike Polombo's affair with Heather or Mike bringing files home during the Baseline Killer investigation!! Our lab is back-logged with 27,000 requests and their moron leader Tracy Montgomery has no plan to process them and is seen putting in the hallway, but we have the time to investigate the theft of Mike and Heather Polombo's name plates?

This is what is absolutely wrong with the Phoenix PD. Morons like Lieutenant Joe Knott who investigate missing name plates. The PPD will spend thousands of dollars, for something that costs 50 cents and all to find out who is providing us information. We are in a deficit, people are losing their jobs, and the Dow is under 9000. The City of Phoenix has money to investigate stolen name plates? What's next...Stolen Copy paper? Paper clips? Men who walk into MCSO making wild liaison claims about Phil Gordon?


How come when your chief Jack Ass Harris’ brother-in-law "Fredo" was caught stealing money out of the Red Vines container, good ol Ken Hook the equipment coordinator wasn’t investigated? Oh wait he was investigated, it took 6 months and 1 day later to investigate him – one day after he retired and when your wannabe Chief Jack Ass just happened to be in charge of PSB to cover his lame, equipment coordinating ass!!!


Funny how that works...Isn't it Balloon Knott?


Just wait for future posts here Balloon Knott. Your 15 minutes of fame are coming soon. It will be the biggest Internet ass-reaming you have ever experienced, compliments of BPC and your fellow PPD officers. It will make Mike and Heather's look like a trip to church.

NEWSFLASH: Heather and Mike Polombo are away on leave, all because of this website. Great job BPC!! I assume that your threat from Officer XXXX was made by Polombo and you did exactly what you said you were going to do! You ran him out of the PPD, frazzled and scared shitless.

Hey Joe: You should have learned not to cross BPC! Tovar, Harris, Polombo.

I love this site. It is better than anything I have seen in years!

Stanton and Geo are committing career suicide.


Lt Knott is it true the only reason for this investigation is because Polumbo did your dirty work when you were in PSB? And , is it not true that you are partly to blame for the lack of investigation resulting in no investigation of Polumbo storing case documents of a murderer in his personal garage?

Polumbo dug his grave!

This is one of several events that are being addressed with city and federal agencies.

Elton Washington....why is Jack Harris in Washington when the Phoenix Police Department is in such costly disfunction?

Did Fairbanks approve this trip with tax payers monies?

We would ask Mayor Gordon these questions however, he's to busy with his new squeeze and covering up the corruption of the PPD in anticipation of the AG's investigation.

Where is PLEA? Are you going to allow Lt Knott to abuse these officers?

And as for Stanton the (NO MAN), don't bother calling your PPSLA rep when the feds investigate you and George Richards because attorneys only rep cockroaches!

THANK YOU!

I think I know where the name plates are....I work for Fast Signs and there is this order for the Phoenix Police Department Homicide Department for 2 new name plates authorized by Joe...I think the last name was Knott or Klima were not sure. But "Joe" requested names plate to read (1) Mr. Potatoe Head and (2) Mrs. Potatoe Head. So.. one of our staff members called to make sure this was on the up and up. When calling and giving the reason for the inquire we just got people that were laughing uncontrollable, so the officer said we needed to speak personally with another person so they transfered our call to Assistant Chief Anderson and he must of approved because he also ordered one to read "Road Rage Andy"
Our staff was somewhat taken back and saw officers really do have a sense of humor. We thought maybe this was a white elephant gift for the Police Departments Christmas Party or maybe it was going to be used for one of those auctions that help victims of crimes.. Our staff loves this website.

Our Make-Over Mayor has traded in his Starbuck's coffee mug for Happy Meals. What's with that?
Another officer and I were sitting in the back of a McDonald's (corridor location)and saw Mayor Gordon picking up a Happy Meal. This was not the first time we have seen this. We frequently go to get our Big Macks and our Make-Over Mayor appears to be having a Happy Meal Munchies.

BPC have you thought about submitting you resume for the new Public Saftey Officer position opening up soon?

Why you should consider:

BPC is a better investigator than Stanton and the other ass clowns.

Apparently a citizen can apply for the position since the existing Public Saftey Officer is a citizen.

You have boosted moral umong the officers and community

You would clean house of all the corruption and everyone would actually have to do police work to keep their jobs.

Because you are respected among the officers the city would not have advertise for positions outside the state. There would be a waiting list to get into the academy.

Bringing the standards to a higher level, this would also reduce lawsuites from the community and officers wrongly accused.

This will reduce taxes and increase the tax revenue for the city.

This is a WIN WIN for the City of Phoenix and the PPD.

You might even get a PLEA endorsement.

Thanks for the Kudos.

Our sights are set on the City Manager's office. That's where the power to clean house is. We would settle for replacing Phil Gordon too.

We would immediately fire all the asst. chiefs, and about 90% of the commanders. We would force them to reapply for their jobs and explain to us their qualifications, skills, and successes. It would be a group interview by their peers, council members and citizens. They would need to submit a proposal and CV on why they are qualified to lead. They would need "real" MBAs or JDs from schools that have dorms, quads, a school fight song, a football team and homecoming. (nothing online or taught by other cops)

We would also have any and all future commanders and asst. chief's 1st come from the next level of senior lieutenants/sergeants with an extensive time of their service in Patrol.

More importantly all future promotions would need to be voted upon by all other Sergeants and Lieutenants, and other PPD employees with 10-15 or more years of experience. The persons who known the most about the PPD are these folks. Your admins and receptionists and support personnel are golden in this capacity!

All future commanders would need 360 evaluations by their peers and subordinates, all submitted to an independent 3rd party for review, tally and consideration.

No more promotion boondoogles.

Since it is obvious that Knott believes a theft was committed (names plates), I now call for the arrest, reading of rights, and criminal investigation of Assistant Chief Montgomery. For if we are going to accuse an employee of theft of name plates, then we must also accuse those who steal city time while on duty. That, my friends, is also theft.

Yes, I'm sure that Montgomery will claim that she was somehow not on duty (lunch break, etc) but do not be fooled. Patrol officers cannot do such activities during lunch breaks (if they get one!). Not to mention the poor example it sets for EVERY employee on the police department.

Please, Knott, read me my rights so that I can tell you to FUCK OFF! I may also suggest what you can do with the name plates and it involves you bending over.

I presume that all homicides in the city have been solved and all suspects have been booked. How else could one justify this kindergarten silliness.

I can say with certainty that my name plate, etc. has never been removed by a fellow employee. Why is that? Probably because I am not a fucking asshole and probably because I love and admire all police officers who show respect for the job. GEEZ. What a concept. A concept so simple that only someone with a ballooning (pun intended) ego and an expanding rectal area could possibly miss the point.

A large stone image greets us all at the entry to the police academy. It refers to pride, honor, and integrity. Please do us all a favor and cover that thing with a tarp until those words actually mean something again. Otherwise my stomack turns at it's very sight.

If anyone thinks that being a prick or a hard ass will bring you success or happiness, you (all of you) will find yourselves reaching for that happiness like a carrot on a stick. You will never catch it. EVER!

Why not, on the other hand, treat all police officers with respect? Do you really attain so much self gratification from these assasine activities that you can't stop yourselves?

Do us all a favor and find a job elsewhere. Let the rest of us continue with the duties at hand. We don't need you and we don't want you. Go fuck someone somewhere else. You will not be missed.

God bless you all

Missing name plates:

Finding: Exceptionally cleared for lack of prosecutorial appeal.

Recommendation: All name plates throughout the police department be removed and replaced with yellow sticky notes. This will save the City budget approximately $2,321.54 per year for the cost of printing name plates.

This is an excellent example of the type of crap that supervisors waste their time on at work. This happens so often it is embarrasing.

Excellent blog entry!

Problem is Joe Knott, Pat Kotecki, and Mike Polumbo's only investigative experience is in PSB where they used "preponderance of evidence." In other words, 51% or greater chance you are guilty.

Criminal investigations require "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" which is about 95% or greater chance you are guilty.

Joe, Pat, and Mike have never worked a criminal case carrying detective assignment so they are more comfortable handling administrative investigations. Only bad thing is while in PSB Joe Knott believed if any officer was possibly 51% or more guilty, he would sustain all allegations. This is so sad when you are dealing with officers lives. 51% is horseshit! The current PSB supervisors and commander seem to be doing the same thing if they aren’t trumping up or adding other charges to sustain.

I am happy to see Mike Polumbo is on stress leave. A PSB investigation he did on me almost forced me to take 12 weeks street leave but I Manned Up and refused to give in. Looks like Mike couldn’t handle some of his own medicine and took the weak way out. Coward!

Mike, your mental treatment and leave will be on your medical records and something you will have to disclose if you ever try to get a secret clearance, job in another law enforcement agency, etc. Kind of sucks doesn’t it? Now think of all of those officers who went on stress leave while you were investigating them in PSB. Bet you like to take some of that back now wouldn’t ya? Well it is too late, suspensions have been completed, transfers turned down, divorces settled, officers terminated, officers who resigned unable to get new work, and many other and things that can happen to people. I sure hope PSB Commander G. Richard does better and refuses to treat people this way. This is called “Karma.” Commander Richard and his people are going to suffer the same 2-3 years down the road, in private life and work if they are not doing the right thing now. I will be one of those who pokes pins in my George Richard doll to make sure Karma comes his way.

Sgt Mike Polumbo, I am also on stress leave and my lovely wife kicked me out of the house. Do you and Heather have any room in your double-wide for me? I promise not to go in the garage!

I remember when I was going through Hell while Polumbo unfairly investigated me in PSB and I was so stressed out I had no desire to make love to my wife. I could not find pleasure in life I was so miserable. I wonder if this is happening in the Polumbo trailer?
