We encourage each of you to copy this letter and send it under your own name. Rumors are flying that Chief Jack Ass is trying to force Joe Knott's attendance at the FBI academy, by stating the EEOC complaints are fabricated from angry employees and are solely a revenge tactic. Next this fool will blame our website!
Let's all show the Jack Ass how disgraceful this is.

RE: September 2009, FBI Academy Training, Quantico, VA
Attendance of Phoenix Police Lieutenant Joseph Knott (#4037)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Gentlemen:
As a follow up to my letter dated to you on August 9, 2009, I have been contacted by numerous Phoenix police officers that Chief of police Jack Harris is independently attempting to have Lieutenant Joseph Knott (#4307) attend your Academy in September.
Lieutenant Joseph Knott (#4307) is the subject of seven union grievances directly accusing him of unfair labor practices, faulty investigations and untruthful statements. Each of these seven are unresolved which have turned into an Unfair Labor Practice Suit filed personally against him and the City of Phoenix. Lieutenant Joe Knott is known to be deceitful and has been caught in numerous situations where he has been untruthful; all the subject of the pending allegations against him.In addition to these pending EEOC's on file against Lieutenant Knott, Chief Jack Harris has no authority, influence or right to make such egregious statements that these allegations are not true or the result of discontented employees. Chief Harris is merely trying to protect an ally in an already dysfunctional command structure and influence a decision in a serious EEOC complaint. No details or facts have been made known to Harris, only allegations which include: harassment, intimidation, reprisal, and sexual harassment.
The EEOC investigation is scheduled to commence in September, 2009, as is the Unfair Labor Court Proceedings. Chief Jack Harris wishes to get Lieutenant Joe Knott out of Phoenix to delay all the investigations against him, hoping the hype will be suspended for the eleven weeks he is at your Academy. The notion that Chief Harris misstates comments from these EEOC complaints continues to show the pattern of abuse he allows within the Phoenix Police Department. As a citizen who pays his salary, I find this exceptionally disturbing. If the FBI wishes to know the truth behind these allegations, I would encourage you to go directly to the EEOC contact: Marquita Beene, City of Phoenix, EEOC Division, 7th floor, 251 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona, 85003, marquita.beene@phoenix.gov. Chief Harris is discrediting pending EEOC investigations, building a defense for Lieutenant Joe Knott and inflicting his influence in a process which was designed for impartiality; far outside the scope of his office.
According to Phoenix Police Department’s Operation order 3.14, once the Police Chief (or in this case, Public Safety Manager) is served with an EEOC complaint, he is not to discuss or share the information with anyone. Chief Jack Harris is jeopardizing the integrity of this EEOC investigation and its due process by continuing to persecute the victims. Chief Harris is not entitled to an opinion, especially on this complaint. As a matter of record, Chief Harris may himself be the source of this complaint, hence his intimate involvement for attempting to cover for Lieutenant Knott. It is not within the scope of his position to comment on any EEOC complaints, especially one that involves his associate. The FBI should be made aware that one of the victims is a female supervisor in the department with 24+ years of experience, and almost 10+ years of supervisory experience. Jack Harris serves at the behest of the city and works for the citizens in Phoenix – although he would like to think he only works for himself. He does not serve to protect EEOC complaints against lieutenants in the Phoenix police department that further humiliate a female officer with over 24 years of dedicated service.
To make matters worse, Phoenix police officers have informed me that three other female Phoenix police officers are willing to come forward with complaints of the same EEOC allegations. These clearly show a pattern of Lieutenant Joe Knott harassing and intimidating women, and utilizing his position to abuse his subordinates. Is this really the type of Police Officer the FBI looks for as a delegate to their prestigious Academy? This isn’t simply about being innocent until proven guilty as Chief Harris has avowed. It’s about vetting out allegations and the postponement of Lieutenant Joe Knott’s participation until your next class in early 2010; if indeed these allegations are found to have no merit.
Stop and contemplate for a moment why Jack Harris is so adamant that Lieutenant Joe Knott attend? It truly shows the deficiency in a leader of the 5th largest police department in the country. Chief Harris does not care about the potentially negative consequences for both the FBI and the city of Phoenix; he is putting his own ego and personal views above those of his personnel and the people he serves.
The FBI might want to consider that under separate cover, the union representing the police officers of the city of Phoenix (AZ PLEA) will draft their own communiqué on this subject to validate their outlook and position on the matter.
I hope you will respond to my initial inquiry in a constructive vein by removing Lieutenant Joseph Knott from your FBI Academy class in September, 2009.
Warm Regards,
JEFF P.

The only place Knott deserves to be sent is back to patrol, or better yet, home, pending the outcome of the EEOC's, which carry a range of penalties, up to and including termination. Polombo should join him, both of the Polombo's!
H. Polombo is unstable and is still tasked with new and old homicides and police involved shootings and issues involving city liability.
Note to all patrol officers: Should H. Polombo show up at your use of force scene, or one of a friends of yours, refuse to deal with her and demand a competent detective.
As for Harris. Is he legally the Chief of Police? If not, how are all the offices empowered to do their job. Why do so many officers still have Harold Hurt's name/signature on their commission cards?
How long is it going to take to get this city's police department back on track. This department is known around the country as having MAJOR issues with the leadership and ethics of the entire command staff. Now the FBI is dragged into it and you all know those letters sent to the FBI has been discussed all the way to the top of the FBI. What a shame Harris has brought on to the members of this department and the Mayor and City Council, aware of all of this for so long, have refused to do anything.
i am a newcomer to the site and have been a cop in phoenix. I love it. It's nice to finally hold these people accountable. Great work.
i will bet my left nut that montgomery, brokaw, huntley and renteria and soha are glad they haven't ben mentioned here in a while. That's why i thought i would bring up what worthless pieces of shit these cops are!!!
Well let's see, if Joe Knott has one EEOC on file and probably 3 others that could be filed he is just building his resume' to become a Chief. I'll bet that Kevin Robinson and Jim Pina are worried that Joe could get promoted and have more EEOC violations than they do.
EEOC violations and not knowing what the policy says is just another qualification for promotion to Chief.
It would be a shame if Joe was able to attend the FBI academy when there are so many other qualified supervisors on the department.
When you and and PLEA are done sucking each other off maybe you can get back to your own lives. Since the PLEA president can't even draft a letter without stealing material from this site I highly doubt that will happen though.
Aw C'mon! Don't be a hater! The only sucking off appears to be in the parking lot of the maryvale precinct or when Commander mike Parra goes away to the FBI academy.
You're just jealous that AZ PLEA and BPC think the same way. Wasn't the rumor that Mark Spencer owned this site? Then it was Barnes? Then it was Billy Coleman?
All very poor guesses from some feeble minded dumb fucks in the PPD. How's it feel to be the dumbest dude on this blog?
did i tell you the joke:
How do you stop a cop in SID or homicide from getting a drink of water?
Slam the toilet seat down on his head!
We need some dirt on the asian, persuasion shitbag, Theron Quass
You guys should hire one of those sign twirlers (like in the mcDonalds commercials) that stands outside of 500 on 16th street and says "welcome to 500 Stan Hoover" that would be a laugh riot.
How about a sign twirler in front of 620 with "visit badphoenixcops.com" on it.
Seems Knott feels very confident he is going to the FBI academy as Lt. Randy Force has been put in his place all ready to take over. We can only hope the Knott get's yanked!
Either way - those with a claim against the city win.
If the city allows balloon knott to go, and then the EEOC complaints find he did harass - then those victims have excellent monetary claims against the city and it shows how corrupt jack is. It just palys into everyone's claim and lawsuit.
Jack would be much smarter to not have him go, but JACK ASS is too stupid to realize this.
Hater no not at all. Especially since the majority of these comment are from people to shit scared to step up and put on the uniform. Or to lazy and scared to hold any postition of authority, maybe if you get your ass out of your own way and not be such a screw up you wouldn't have supervisors up your rear end.
Can't really be the dumbest dude on this blog since you have already claimed that title. Maybe one day I can strive to achieve your level witty retorts though.
Level of witty retorts??? You use such fancy words!!!
You must have gotten your degree from the University of Phoenix.
Which means you are probably a high ranking member of the department's stellar management team.
Which leads me to conclude that you are another fine example of affirmative action at work.
Level of witty retorts??
Such fancy words!! Which leads me to believe you must have a college education.
And since you are obviously a high ranking member of the department's stellar management team you no doubt "earned" your degree from the University of Phoenix and are another shining example of affirmative action in progress.
Way to go!!! Keep up the great work.
You did not post my comment from two nights ago....you know which one.
We have no idea which post you are referring to. It's the internet dude. Sometimes shit just doesn't get to us.
It happens. Just resend it.
Not sure if everyone knows about the events at the Biltmore this week. Apparently a former chief was at the hotel with his mistress when his wife and daughter showed up to say hi. You might ask how the wife and daughter found out. I guess someone let them know what was going on. When wife and daughter showed up a fight started and the daughter got arrested and booked. The Lt calling the shots was none other than Marcel ‘Bent Dick’ Spaulding. Hopefully Marcel was taking notes on how not to get caught having an affair. It is amazing that another person that was in upper management was having problems with keeping the old blue vein in the holster. Marcel guess you are ready to be a Commander or a Chief. You got the main qualifications no morals, treat people like crap, double standard, and not loyal.
The former chief must know, "Spell with Marcel Spaulding".
Marcel, I'm disappointed in you with your actions involving you having nothing to do with your kid and ex-wife.
speaking of the fbi academy, didnt something embarassing to the department happen with the commander who attended and represented the command staff last year? something like he went there married to a phx commander and came back with a new girlfriend, baby, and divorce? refresh me please.
now they are sending someone who has eeo complaints sitting open? how come lt steve haynes and stan da man got transferred immediately after their eeo complaints came to light but balloon knott hasnt been transferred and still is going to the fbi academy? how can the department continue to be so inconsistent with employees of the same rank. sue em lt haynes and stan da man! you have been treated unfairly and your transfers back to patrol cost you take home cars, standby pay and endless amounts of overtime. just look at how much lt vince piano made in overtime the last five years. ooops, wasn't it lt piano who ratted lt haynes out? dont know for sure but it could have put more overtime in his pocket by elimanting lt haynes.
is lt knott being investigated for sexually harrasssing a assault detective that is arabian or something? tell us?
stan da man, hows the new job you asshole? I purposely went to the mcdonalds at 7st and mcdowell tonight and took all the sanitary toilet seat covers so your ass will be unprotected as you take a "chief". just be sure to wipe your "harris" real good.
weiners!
I, too, have heard Knott is in trouble for sexually assaulting a female detective in the assault unit. Supposedly the union is aware of it and so it's Knott's commander, who has chosen to, can you guess?, cover it up! Seems Knott can't keep his vinculum hitched these days.
Hey BPC, seems you have the inside scoop on most of this stuff. What have you heard?
It's a known fact, Steve Wamsley and Marcel Spaulding are total fuck-ups!
Cannot be trusted either.
THANK YOU BPC!!! Its so nice to see the shit coming down. I was so tired of reading the same Potato head crap. It looks like the gloves are off and more of the asshole Phoenix cops are being fingered in public. I saw a post by Trent Crump, there was a guy I knew back in High School named Trent Crump. He was a skinny blonde kid that we used to give a ration of shit to for always carrying a sword and giving blowjobs to dogs. He was well known for his sexual fascination for dogs. I heard he was a firefighter, maybe not. I wonder if that's the same Trent Crump.
i'm above everyone on the department, that's why i live to fly!
Brian Kelley, your comments do not hold up here! It is common knowledge that your nickname is "straight jacket", for the time you did in a mental hospital!
You were a lousy motor and you surely cannot pilot anything except maybe a Kite!
Joe Knott is another kiss ass of Jacks. You, Wamsley, the Polombos, G. Richards, Stan Hoover are a poor excuse for a cop
Steve "Dumpy" Wamsley, I had a fuck fest with your ex-wife too!
All of us guys who tag-teamed in the event while you were off talking aimlessly on the radio like you normally do, thank you for her implants.
All in all, Donnie Stienmetz came out the winner.
I bet you could kick yourself for using your money on Anne's implants instead of on your gastric bypass!!
I'm glad your not in my area for a back-up.
Get your information correct Tracy, you worthless fat-ass. I went to Charter for marriage counseling. I never wore a straight jacket. Don't throw stones if you're the one in your marriage that straps anything on. Konegni told me that Charlie likes your little "soul patch" (aka Chuckie's patch) that you got shaved around your droopy snatch. Your husband likes it because he fantasizes about kissing an old, black trombone player.
Penis breath in the Biltmore Area: You will never know who I am, because all of you assholes think I'm a "good guy". We greet each other daily and you will always think I am your friend. I have a network of friends that do the same. Are we at the Ritz? Subway? The Fire Station? Baja Fresh? The hospital? Mopping the locker room at Squaw Peak? You cops sit around and talk shop, so do we. You'd be amazed at how many of us there are. Only one has Hep III though. Too Bad. We will keep pissing in your food and drink because you deserve it. So, have another cup of "shut the fuck up" with a little yellow tinge. ;-) Mmmm, goes down goooood!
to the Social Elite at the Biltmore: Go round up all of your rainbow friends at the nail salon, and go march in the San Francisco's gay pride celebration.
Brian Kelley did go to a mental hospital! Back in the day we called him, sraight-jacket!!!!
True story
Kelley is a poor pilot, ask the news station he got fired from!
On the other hand, Connie Sullivan, is doing GREAT, with the news station she works for.
Brian, when you can get yourself out of your straight jacket, let us know!
To the Biltmore Cocksucker with a badge: Are you not intelligent enough that you have to use movie lines from cop movies. I'll bet you sit in your luxury studio apartment and jerk off to "Training Day" and reruns of "Cops" before you go to work and then you drive your big jacked up 4x4 to work, because it gives the impression that you are a bigger man then you really are. You probably have the Angel/Devil dancer stickers in the back window to give the impression that you like girls, but no one is fooled. And I'm sure you have a "in memory of" sticker of some other asshole cop that you never even met. You only heard of Louie Tovar from this site and never even met the asshole but it makes you feel good to join the other lemmings on the site to "fit in". PUNK!
