Public Records Request Update on the Tovars: You Won’t Believe the Fight to Keep Private - a Public Records Request on a Dirty Cop and His Son

First and Foremost – They lost.  We are able to pick up our public records request on Monday, February 27^th – the entire case history of Louie Adrian Tovar and his molesting tendencies. 

But…

Here is the entire backstory and shows the depth everyone was going to, to keep our public records request under tight wraps.  It’s 29 pages of court filings, court rulings and shows how long this fight has been going on. The sweetest justice is seeing and having the Phoenix PD legal department and city attorney Gary Verburg defending our blog and our rights to public records on criminal investigation into Louie Adrian Tovar – son of police commander Louie Tovar.

Enjoy.

Unfortunately for the Tovar family, this is now part of public record so now the situation has turned worse for them.  Some folks will never learn that if this blog is ever sued, given a cease and desist, a TRO, or pulled into to court – it will always be posted here for the world to see.

Nothing is secret.

            Nothing is discrete. 

We openly excoriate dirty cops by labeling them cunts, assclowns and fucktards…would you expect anything less from us?  Didn’t anyone learn anything with the dumbass Polombos and their videos?  The harder they tried, the worse it got and the more public it became. 

So here’s a blast from the past – the dumbfuck sergeant in homicide Mike “Potato Head” Polombo and his dumb cunt wife Heather Armstrong Cox Polombo. These videos have them trying to bring up criminal charges on us because this blog is harassing and serves no useful purpose!!  A great shout-out and a “go fuck yourself” to both Mike and Heather!

Watch Heather the Cunt - Cry About This Blog

Watch Mike the Potato Head Whine Like A Sissy Bitch

Sergeant Tovar, we have a personal message for you since its clear you read this blog and don’t want some family names revealed:

It’s not our fault that your brother raised and reared (pun) a child molester like Louie Adrian Tovar. As citizens we have a right to have access to any criminal investigation - even if it is the son and nephew of a cop.   We have a right to know why no charges were pursued against the son of a dirty cop, like your brother Louie. 

Like we have said from the beginning – there is something creepy about your brother, commander Louie Tovar and his connection to the fired kiddy porn cop Mike Polk. It's too coincidental that his own son has a propensity to molest children. We have been contacted by people who work with your nephew Louie, and by people who grew up with your family in the Valley.  Even cops have contacted us about the Mike Polk and Louie Tovar connection.  Some even attended Brophy with Tovars. They all say the same thing about your family; Tovars were creepy, weird and everyone felt like something odd was going on.   If you want satisfaction perhaps you should pursue criminal charges against Louie Tovar junior, so that it won’t happen again or sue your brother in civil court for being an all-around ass clown.  Don't blame us for your family problems and the fact that Louie doesn't know how to hang up a phone and tried to exact revenge on a citizen using his clout as a cop.  Boy!  Karma sure is a mofo!! 

Our inside sources tell us you are a decent guy and that you are a victim due to your brother Louie; and this whole episode has created a big rift in your family.  We'll give you the benefit of the doubt and believe them for now, but at this point we really have no mercy or empathy for you, and we have no incentive to help anyone who fucks up on the Phoenix PD.  But we want to help you – financially.  So accept this generous gift and thank some good cops who like you.

      Did you know that your attorney Joel Robbins was almost our attorney?  Our blogger Jeff met with Joel back in 2008 to pursue his lawsuit against the city of Phoenix and a lawsuit against your brother – Louie Tovar.  Joel is trying to brush this under the rug as, "no big deal"  but it is a huge conflict of interest.  In their meetings, Jeff had to disclosure everything about the PPD and Louie Tovar.  And now Joel Robbins is represents you against this blog and a public records request?!!? 

      You should demand all your money back and file a complaint with the AZ BAR.  Joel hasn’t helped move your cause at all, and as a matter of fact probably has made it worse for you, since all the legal wranglings are posted online and now the world will see it.  If you don’t believe us, just ask Joel.  Tell Joel you want to sue this blog and the owner for monetary damages, and see what Joel’s answer will be.  He will stammer and make excuses, but he can’t do it and he won’t.  You will need to find other counsel.    There is only one person who can release Joel from this conflict and allow him to represent you.  That person is our blogger Jeff.  Get the picture? Hopefully this won't be a total loss to you.

Oh... and you’re welcome.

And finally –  for everyone who reads this  - we destroy cops with three simple words BAD – PHOENIX – COPS.   We have over 10,000 people who visit our sites each month…and growing.  We are proud to stifle, shutter and condemn all dirty cop’s career advancements by openly telling these stories.  We will always share what we know about their indiscretions in the Phoenix PD and exercise our 1^st Amendment right to call them assclowns and fucktards.  And as we said time and again - thank Commander Louie Tovar as the catalyst for this site. 

Many dirty cops have tried to stop us.  The Polombos tried and failed, We heard Tracy Montgomery tried and failed,  and now the Tovars tried and failed, and all while this was happening we got your Police chief Jack Ass Harris fired.    If you all really want this site to end you should pool all your money and come up with a better plan.  This site is for sale.  Contact us at badphoenixcops@hushmail.com for details.

We aren’t going anywhere and its not going to stop.  We meet with good cops all the time who tell us stories about the bad ones – and boy do they love to tell us!

What Would You Do If You Lived Next to a Child Molester? What Would You Say If the Phoenix PD Knew and Hid From Citizens A Known Child Molester All Because He is the Son Of A Phoenix Cop? Don't Think Either of These Can Happen? Then You Must Read This Blog.

 

UPDATE:  Tovar Attorney Joel Robbins Attempts to file a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order), a complaint, and a cease and desist notice against blogger for exposing the Tovar molestation case!

CLICK HERE to See the TRO and Complaint Filed By the Tovar Family

Some people will just never ever learn.  All we want to know is why Louie Adrian Tovar was not arrested, not indicted and not on any sex offender list for molesting a little boy when our blogger was indicted on made up charges?  Is there a double standard within the Phoenix PD where cops and their kids are protected from things the rest of us aren't? 

There is apparently a hearing this Friday, February 24^th (11:00 am at 201 W. Jefferson, Ctrm 704, Phoenix, AZ 85003)  which they are trying to keep closed from the public to discuss the Tovar family’s creepy molestation case and to silence us!  We have let all the news agencies know and some claim they are going to try and attend on our behalf since no one from BadPhoenixCops will be attending.

What’s even stranger is that attorney Joel Robbins in his TRO, readily admits that we never actually stated the victims’ names, but provided sufficient information that the victims’ identities can be deduced. 

Really? 

Aren’t the Tovar’s Hispanic and don’t Hispanics pop out - like 10-20 kids each?   That’s what we always see at Arizona Mills and the swap-meet on Indian School and I17. How the fuck would anyone beside the extensive creepy Tovar family know which family members were molested by their cousin?

Oh well…enjoy the read.  The more information we receive and demands from Joel Robbins,  the more we will post and soon Joel Robbins will understand the point of diminishing returns…

People often ask us, “Why don’t you update the blog more often?  With all the corruption in the Phoenix PD, why are you not updating daily or weekly?”  Simply put:  Good stories take time.  Great stories take longer – like the great story we are about to share with you.

These clandestine efforts came to us straight from good cops in the Phoenix PD - teaching us (and you) how to circumvent any investigation and how to protect our sources.

Enjoy...

In February 2006, a citizen in Phoenix, Arizona was turned down for employment by the Phoenix PD and from the Police Employee Services Bureau (PESB) – the division that handles all employment.  He was refused employment because his polygraph test came back that he was deceptive and evasive with his answers.  He also admitted some frightening things during his polygraph exam, things that would have normal citizens put in jail, but this candidate was special. 

Who was this person?  Read on…

On January 30, 2006 this person applied to become a Phoenix cop.  Clearly beat-up and picked on in high school - a loser with no future - he thought being a cop would allow him to carry a gun, earn respect he would never receive otherwise, and he could mess with people who messed with him.  On February 16, 2006 Jack Ogilvie (A3587) was the polygraph examiner that administered the polygraph exam on this person.  It's standard practice to do this with any applicant, and if crimes are discovered they are to be reported.

The exam # for this applicant was 06-0122-A.  We know this because we saw,  read it and own a copy.

During this exam this person admitted the following:

·         He had received oral sex numerous times while driving a car (not such a big deal, but a parked car in a Maryvale precinct parking lot from a Polombo – NOW THAT’s a BIG DEAL!)

·         At 17 years old, he purposefully touched on at least two occasions in a swimming pool the genitals of his 12 year old cousin (the son of another cop); both were naked and alone; and claimed he liked it!

·         In November of 2005 he engaged in sex acts with his girlfriend while in the presence of her younger sister.  The younger sister (age 14) took photos of he and his girlfriend in numerous sexual positions and performing numerous sex acts

·         He admitted to viewing child pornography on his computer on a site named WINMX

·         He admitted to seeing under age children nude and in sex acts on the same site

·         He viewed on 6 occasions woman having sex with animals

·         He viewed on MySpace girls assumed to be the age of 15; nude or in lingerie

Officer Steve Checketts was the officer responsible for reporting these crimes (touching a 12 year old cousin and camera sex in front of a 14 year old) to FIB - Family investigations Bureau – Child Sex Crimes.  We at BadPhoenixCops have been unable to ascertain if this was done.  Since 1964 all crimes against children LINK to ARS 13.3620 requires mandatory reporting by peace officers and mandatory action.

There are two problems with Checketts and his potential reporting:

1)      In order to report this individual to FIB Child Sex Crimes, the commander of FIB would have intimate knowledge of the case and would have input to prosecution and any investigation.  We’ll explain in a moment why that was a problem for both the FIB commander and this job applicant, and their relationship.

2)     Steve Chicketts passed away in 2006, just one day after his retirement from the Phoenix PD with a not-so happy ending.  He “came” and “went” at the same time, so-to-speak.  Steve Chicketts died of a heart attack while visiting a rub-n-tug massage parlor; after receiving a hand job from something that looked like Theron Quaas’ whore mother.

Regardless, this applicant was sent home and roamed the streets for three more years as a child sex predator under the nose of the Phoenix PD, simply because this applicant shared a name with someone on the Phoenix PD.

In 2009, this applicant returned to the Phoenix police department to re-apply again for a position.   He just didn’t understand why they wouldn’t make him a cop, but he was told to return three years later to reapply.

When his background was discovered in 2006, he should have been logged on a DOL form (Dropped off List) meaning he could never, ever be cop and would be permanently be disqualified from employment.  This was not the case.  We believe this wasn’t done because it would have raised several red flags.  Instead he was told to return three years later to reapply in 2009.  This gives us reason to believe that Chicketts did not report anything to FIB and on the outside chance that he did; the commander of FIB covered it up and ignored the crime against children, because it would have caused too much publicity for him personally.

On February 23, 2009 a criminal investigation is finally launched into this applicant.  This investigation was headed up by Lt. Sandra (Sandy) Renteria.  Soon after on March 5, 2009, the Special Investigations begin their own internal investigation.

This is where our trail ends. 
 

We have submitted numerous Public Records request for this criminal investigation.  To our knowledge and belief this applicant was never prosecuted or indicted for his crimes against children and the Phoenix PD continue to hide his crimes from all of us. He could be your neighbor, live near your kid’s school or work in a child day center right now.

To our knowledge this applicant is not on any sex offender list.

To our knowledge and belief, the Phoenix PD has purposefully covered this up, simply because the applicant is the son of a Phoenix cop and shares the same name, as his father.

To our knowledge and belief there is a significant criminal investigation into the applicant that the Phoenix PD is trying to hide from the public and from BadPhoenixCops, and are breaking the law by doing so.

To our knowledge and belief the Phoenix PD did not prosecute this applicant not only because he is the son of a cop, but because they will allege too much time has passed since the crime was committed and it’s not worth prosecuting.

In November of 2011, assistant coach Jerry Sandusky of Penn State was arrested on 40 counts of child molestation that occurred over a 15 year period and that’s worth prosecuting.

During this same time frame, long-time coach Joe Peterno was fired from Penn State for simply knowing about Jerry Sandusky’s indiscretions with children, and doing nothing about it. He recently died a heart-broken man and disgraced.

In November 2011, Syracuse basketball coach Bernie Fine was fired amid an investigation of child molestation that occurred back in 2002.  Bernie Fine has not admitted anything in a polygraph exam and was fired simply over credible allegations.  Our applicant openly admitted to crimes against children, but nothing was done.

Do you think too much time has passed?  We sure don’t.

We are firm believers that you are a product of your environment.  If you grew up with parents who smoke, you as their child will probably experiment with tobacco. If you grew up with a family of tea-toddlers, you may not be a big drinker.  If you grew up with a family of big sports fans or camping fans, you will undoubtedly like sports and camping.  And if as a teenager you are molesting little boys, you grew up in a household or family where child molestation was endorsed or conducted.

Assuming what we just shared with you is true, any logical person would safely assume that this applicant should have been indicted, arrested and charged with sex crimes against children…right?  That he served time in jail, got some much needed counseling, is on a sex crime list in Phoenix, is ordered to stay away from kids or at best killed themself…right?  If it was any citizen or any non-cop reading this blog, for sure they would arrest us and parade us on TV like so many before us…right?

No way!  This is the corrupt Phoenix police department where Jack Harris and Joe Yahner let crimes against children go unanswered, underworked and hidden from the public.  From 1994-1999 hundreds of sex crimes were underworked and under investigated thanks to Jack Harris, Murray Andy Anderson and current acting chief Joe Yahner.

Who is the applicant and who is his father in the Phoenix PD?

The applicant with the not so stellar polygraph exam is Louie Adrian Tovar, Jr. and the FIB Commander is his own father, Louie Tovar, Sr.  At the time of this crime (and the 2006 polygraph exam) Louie Tovar was commander over FIB and would have had intimate knowledge and input into the investigation into his own son.   This is why we think no criminal action was taken and why a known child molester roams the streets.

Also around this same time, Louie Tovar forgot to hang up the phone calling our blogger a fucking dickweed, and shared how Louie needed to get him off his ass, ultimately indicted him on charges that didn’t exist; charges that were eventually dismissed with prejudice, while no charges were brought against his own son for molesting children.

When Officer Mike Polk was fired from the Phoenix homicide division for owning, viewing and possessing child pornography on his computer, one of his best friends in the Phoenix PD was Commander Louie Tovar.  Louie’s computer was eventually seized as a part of Polk’s criminal, child porno investigation.

Thanks to Louie Tovar, this site was started.  Thanks to Louie Tovar over 20,000 eyes read this blog every month. 

Thanks to Louie Tovar, BadPhoenixCops and our blogger are filing a special action with the courts ordering them to turn over the complete criminal investigation in Louie Adrian Tovar, Jr. and demand why no criminal charges were brought against him.  We have shared this with every news agency we know of.  When it is submitted, we will post it here and all replies from attorneys, judges and the Phoenix PD.

So you still have your head stuck in the sand and don't believe the Phoenix PD are corrupt?  Do you still think that the Phoenix PD has good intentions?  That Joe Yahner is doing a great job?  That honor, integrity and respect are part of the culture of the Phoenix PD?  That things haven't changed since chief Jack Ass Harris left?

Those must be some good drugs you are taking!

What if it was your 12 year old son who was being fondled in a swimming pool by Louie Adrian Tovar?  What if it was your 14 year old daughter who was snapping pictures of your older daughter banging and blowing Louie Adrian Tovar?  Would you still feel the same? How would you feel if Louie Adrian Tovar was your neighbor, lived near your kid's school, drove your kid's bus, or worked in your kid's school?  What if you worked along side of him - don't you think you should know about his past? 

We all know about what Jerry Sandusky allegedly did, but no one is supposed to know about what Louie Adrian Tovar admitted to doing during polygraph exam number 06-0122-A, conducted on February 16, 2006 with Jack Ogilvie (A3587), simply because the Phoenix PD don't want us to know and don't think we all deserve to know.  Louie Adrian Tovar and Commander Louie Tovar are (we guess) above the law. Here's the license plate we plan to get:

We think everyone should know...and that's why we're telling the story.  So real question is what's the crime for aiding and abetting a known child molester for six years?  Sounds to us like a lot of dirty Phoenix cops should be fired or thrown in jail over this one.

As we have said in the past, we don't need violence, threats or innuendo to accomplish our tasks.  Dirty, corrupt Phoenix cops make our jobs easy - where we use their own words, actions and deeds and expose their mendacious behavior...and now the crazy behavior of their kids!  We exercise our 1st amendment rights to tell the truths about BadPhoenixCops.

Why is it that the Phoenix PD won’t release the names of these night detectives? 

Did you all know this Christmas party MS Powerpoint was brought to the attention of Dave Harvey (commander of PSB – Internal Affairs) back in December, 2011 when it happened, and he was trying to hide it until the media found out? Sergeant Steve Martos (the former Public Information Officer we all used to see on TV)  was transferred into the sex crimes unit, even though the PPD knew this happened!  If this were any of us, we would be paraded around on every news station, so here are the names of four of the officers. We will find the others…

Detective Howard Pacifico – sex crimes unit

Detective Brandy Villariel – sex crimes unit

Sergeant Steve Martos – sergeant in the sex crimes unit (remember him on TV?)

Sergeant Jennifer Stimac

Lieutenant Rob Settembre attended with his wife because she is a night detective, but was not one of the cops suspended.  Every year this party normally happens at Casa Polombo, but the potato head and his whore wife Heather were not present because Mike's grandmother passed away.

Benny Pina was also invited to attended this party but didn’t - and is bragging how he dodged a twinkie ....we mean bullet.

Have you all noticed its the same group of dumbass shitbags who we blog about?  Benny Pina, Jim Pina, Dave Harvey, Joe Yahner, Mike Polombo, Heather Polombo, Andy Anderson and another 15+ names?

Yeah we do too. 

We just wonder when Cavasos, Zuercher and our new mayor are going to grow some balls.  When is someone going to fire them all and fix the Phoenix PD?  It's the same 20-30 people who bring down the other 5,000 city of Phoenix employees.

Every Wonder What It’s Like to Be a Morbidly Obese AssClown? Meet Phoenix Police Commander Benny Pina! Benny Pina Loves Using the “N” Word so Read our New Investigation Requests and the Multiple Ops Orders Benny Violated.

Remember as a kid watching those old Zorro TV shows?  Remember that fat stupid bumbling sergeant who Zorro always made a fool of and ultimately swiped a Z on his fat ass or stomach?  In today’s Phoenix PD, this art is imitating life with commander Benny Pina. A fat useless POS who just needs to go and manage a landscaping business.

This just isn’t going to be a good week for Benny Pina. His wife Rose isn’t going to be too happy either once we get a hold of her and let her know, what we know.

Below are LINKS to our complaint letters we sent for number violations of Operations Orders by Benny “Gordo” Pina.  The first one is Benny being caught walking up a hill with a young blonde female in Deems Park on December 9^th.  The second is his usage of racial slurs against detective Terry Yahwey in a meeting recently.


Was this an approved workout for Benny?  Was she a subordinate? Was she a civilian? Is she into fat dudes?  Was this a work vehicle used for private measures?  We have the same questions that demand an investigation into Benny Pina, by the city of Phoenix.

Complaint #1 - Benny Pina Phoenix PD


Complaint #2 - Benny Pina Phoenix PD

The second was what transpired in a meeting recently.  Benny Pina loves using the word “nigger” and has lobed it in the past with racial slurs directed at Detective Terry  Yahwey, a black officer with the PPD.  Well he did it again, in a meeting with many Phoenix cops and with acting commander Joe Yahner present.  It appears Benny hasn’t learned and the Phoenix PD hasn’t changed since chief Jack Ass left.  That’s why we’re here and that’s why good cops tell us, and we inform you.

Let’s face facts.  A quick review of Benny’s medical file will show a file as big as our blogger's balls.  It will also show that his weight, matches his cholesterol level and his BMI is equal to the age of the blonde female we caught him snookering with on his walk. 

Recently Commander Pina was in the news discussing how his precinct will adjust their hours to 13 hour work days over 3 days.  The 3 day part is nothing new for Benny.  It’s the 13 hours each day that will throw him for a loop.  Is it possible that Commander Benny Pina can stay awake that long? 

With Hostess filing for Bankruptcy, we’re not quite sure where Benny will get his sugar high to keep him alert at his own precinct to maintain his own 13 hour requirement?  Will this be monitored so as to ensure Commander Pina doesn’t slip into a diabetic coma and lose a foot?

Undoubtedly there isn’t a fitness test Benny may pass and Benny needs to strict diet and exercise routine.  Seeing him on TV he looks as if he is about to burst. Check out the link with Benny talking about the 13 hour shifts.

13 Hour Work Weeks? Benny Pina Can't Stay Awake That Long!

The only thing funnier than seeing Benny Pina try and walk up a hill is seeing Mike Polombo trying to ascend while scuba diving in Hawaii!

While we are pleased to see a morbidly obese police officer like Benny, walking and exercising, we might suggest taking away his car and issuing him a bicycle or a good pair of walking shoes.   BadPhoenixCops would be willing to fund this if needed.

In some other news....If you saw the news last Friday, it looks like Ed Zuercher and David Cavasos finally grew some testicles and are investigating the cops charged with investigating cops – Internal Affairs. 

We hope they forward our requests over to MATRIX to investigate.

Cavasos and Zuercher Grow Some Balls and Investigate Phoenix PD Internal Affairs

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

LINK to Jeff Hynes Bio at Arizona State University

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

Are You a Child Sex Predator in Phoenix, Arizona? Are You a Member of the Tovar Family? Then You are going to Want Joe Yahner as Your Police Chief!

We read and laugh how everyone is going after Sheriff Joe for not following up on sex crimes.  The exact same thing happened with Joe Yahner, the current acting police chief in Phoenix.  We like to refer to these not as "Sex Crimes"  but rather "Joe Yahner's Sex Crimes"

Here is an article that ran in the Phoenix New Times this week (be sure to read the comments at the end of the article. We love the comments by "Jack Harris").

 Phoenix PD Botch Child Sex Crimes Too - When Joe Yahner Was the Leader

Below is a caption from the article which points out that Phoenix PD Internal Affairs detectives conducted an audit on the Child Sex Crimes Scandal in the PPD.

 "In September, an auditor from the Professional Standards Bureau found problems with a lot of investigations conducted by retired Phoenix Detective Alan MacIver. The questionable investigations prompted an audit of all of MacIver's cases that still fell within the statute of limitations, and could still be prosecuted.

While auditing MacIver's cases, a city auditor took a random sample of other cases in the department's child sex crimes unit and found several other cases -- from other investigators -- that didn't have the proper documentation on file, or may not have been handled correctly. Crump says the department determined that of the thousands of cases it reviewed -- dating as far back as 1999 -- hundreds of cases weren't handled correctly.

In September, when word of the mishandled cases fell in the lap of acting Phoenix police Chief Joe Yahner, he sought to fix the problem immediately. 'No excuses here, whatsoever," Yahner told a City Council subcommittee. "We have policies and processes in place that we didn't follow to the letter of the law and we should have.'"

Investigators pointed out the Sex Crimes Unit began botching cases as far back as 1999 (they actually went back to 1994; see below) Chief Joseph P. Yahner is quoted as saying, ""No excuses here, whatsoever," Yahner told a City Council subcommittee."We have policies and processes in place that we didn't follow to the letter of the law and we should have."

Um Hello Chief Yahner......"No excuses whatsoever you say?"  Really?!?!

You must be an absolute fucktard and forgot to tell the media that YOU WERE THE LIEUTENANT IN CHARGE OF THE SEX CRIMES UNIT IN 1999!!!

Yeah no joke.  Top acting cop, the current pussy acting police chief Joe Yahner lead the Sex Crimes Unit while all this was going down (pun)!

Is this an integrity issue on Yahner's part? Is Joe Yahner a card carrying member of NAMBLA?   We surely think so!  So, we have to ask Joe Yahner, why were you asleep at the wheel and allowed 100s, possibly 1000s, of Sex Crimes Cases to fall through the cracks?

Why did you let Louie Tovar’s kid Adrian off on his sex crimes?  Were you performing Case Management Reviews of your sergeants and detectives? You were required to do that and, if you had, you would have seen your detectives were not doing their jobs and all of these innocent victims would have been protected. Maybe you were too busy teaching your daughter how to speed away from the cops. Maybe you were too busy leaving your beloved and smoking hot wife? Maybe you were too busy polishing the badge of chief Jack Ass with a nice Jack Harris reach-around?

Here is another story that was on local television affiliate, KPHO TV5:

Phoenix City Council Learns About Yahners Sex Crimes

"CBS 5 has learned that one of detective MacIver's former supervisors is still with the Phoenix department. Investigators are looking into any role Sgt. Steve McClellan may have played in those botched cases, but to this point, no one has been disciplined."

Maybe this should have read:

"CBS 5 has learned that one of detective MacIver's former supervisors, POLICE CHIEF JOE YAHNER, is still with the Phoenix department. Investigators are looking into any role Sgt. Steve McClellan CHIEF YAHNER may have played in those botched cases, but to this point, no one CHIEF YAHNER has not been disciplined himself, nor told anyone about his role in this debacle, since he is the Chief and doesn't want to take a chance that his lack of supervision of the Sex Crimes Unit could interfere with his selection as permanent Police Chief."

Okay, this gets better. Here is a July 1, 2011, article Arizona Republic article on the debauchery.

Again, Yahner fails to mention he was in charge of the Sex Crimes Unit when these children's predators were never arrested for their crimes.

AZ Republic Article on Sex Crimes

We love what Yahner says in this one:                        

"I am extremely concerned and am treating this matter with the utmost importance," Yahner wrote. "Crimes against children are some of the most heinous and disturbing crimes in our community, and protecting our children is one of the highest priorities for the Police Department."

What Yahner should have said was:

"I am extremely concerned that I didn't do my job when I was in charge of the Sex Crimes Unit and am treating this matter with the utmost importance," Yahner wrote. "Crimes against children are some of the most heinous and disturbing crimes in our community, and protecting our children is one of the highest priorities for the Police Department. I am disappointed I failed to do my job, but hey, I am Police Chief so I am above this trivial bullshit. I’ve let Louie Tovar’s kid Adrian off and helped cover up how he molested children, why not a few more?

Here is proof that the Internal Affairs audit actually went back to 1994. We find it interesting that while the actual audit went back to 1994, Chief Yahner tells the media the audit went back to 1999. Maybe because he didn't want anyone to know he was in charge of the Sex Crimes Unit from 1996 to 1999?

Fox News Report on Phoenix PD Sex Crimes

"PHOENIX - Phoenix Police are launching a major investigation into their Child Crimes Unit. The department says some cases may not have been handled properly. Investigators are reviewing 2,500 cases, going back to 1994. One of those cases under review involves a 3-year-old girl who was molested, allegedly by a registered sex offender, who wasn't arrested for six years." And during that time -- police say he ended up molesting another girl."

 Cover up by Yahner?

We think so!

AZPOST Integrity issue? We think so! Yahner's oversight to tell the media the audit went back to 1994 and he was in charge of the unit from 1996 to 1999 should cost him his job as permanent Police Chief? ABSOLUTELY! Why didn't Yahner tell the truth that the audit found problems back to 1994?

 And finally, here is the best new article of them all:

Thelda Williams is PISSED About the Sex Crimes

"PHOENIX (KPHO) - A big report has been released from the city of Phoenix. It spells out what's wrong with the police department's child sex crimes unit and what needs to be done to fix it.

Now city leaders are sounding off. "You know, this almost makes me cry," said Phoenix Vice Mayor Thelda Williams.  "First it was Mike Polombo's tight pants, and now this!"

Williams has been a huge advocate for change ever since the child sex crimes story broke. "It's unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable. There should be zero tolerance when it comes to a child sex crime," Williams said.

After reading the city audit of the Family Investigations Bureau, Williams said she's even more fired up. "Somebody's head should roll. More than one head should roll," she said.

According to the report, now retired Detective Alan MacIver didn't follow policy and procedures on 81 percent of his cases. That was back in 2007. "We were told two months ago that they were aware of it, they had done training and were fixing it. And now this," Williams said.

The report shows even now, only 55 percent of current cases were properly investigated.

"Thirty-nine cases still remain open. And show no evidence of investigation efforts for approximately one year," Williams read off the report. "OK, now that you've got me nauseated," she said. She said she's not just disturbed by the department's mistakes. "If you can't protect a child, what the hell are you doing on the police force?" she asked.

Williams is also upset at what this whole mess has done to the kids who didn't get the help they deserved. "It makes you sick to think what those kids must be, not only have gone through but are continuing to go through when you can't trust the policeman POLICE CHIEF, Joe Yahner," she said."

Hey Councilman Williams and Johnson, you now got your man! Are you going to follow up on your words and hold Yahner accountable? You may want to know BPC will be attending a future City Council meeting and demand you hold Yahner accountable like you said!

 The best part is Executives in the PPD were so proud of Chief Yahner's supervisory abilities in the Sex Crimes Unit that they promoted him on August 16, 1999, and transferred him to the politically ideal job in the City Manager's Office. We are told the City Manager loved Yahner and this relationship had a lot to do with Yahner's rise to the top. We wonder what City Management would have thought back then if they knew that had a Commander who allowed child predators to run free in their beloved city?????

The police chief selection committe is reviewing all Phoenix cops who threw their hat in the ring for the Chief job. We sure hope they sees this blog. It tells the real story behind Chief Yahner and his rise to the top, in one of the worst police administrations in the country.
