Another Complaint Against The Sheriff

[southbeach]

Is Chapman the same Chapman who's Florida State Law Enfocement Certification was in question a few years back?

As I can recall, please correct..., he did not have current active standards when he went to work for the old DFS Chief. A whistle blower dispatcher told officials she was asked to alter, forge, misrepresent, the document so that Chapman would be active with the FDLE Training Data Base. I remember an agent with FDLE, Carl Causey (sp?) was also involved (please correct as well if not true). Is this the same guy or is there another Chapman?

Is Sconiers supporting Adkinson?

It was Carl Woodall that was involved not Carl Causey. Woodall worked out of the panama city office and he wasn't a special agent.

Fdle investigated the complaint and determined that Bill Chapman had not done anything wrong

Carl woodall was let go after this to my knowledge and Carl Causey is still a special agent in the Pensacola office

Ok, thanks. I heard "Carl", not sure the last name. You mean to tell me that Chapman did not know his certification was expired???? Was he not a supervisor at one time? Knowledge?

Didn't say that he didn't know, just know that FDLE did investigate the incident and determined that Chapman had not done anything wrong

if he knew, then he was involved:

Actually FDLE DID say he did'nt know when they said he did nothing wrong.

But hey, nice word play.

If Chapman knew of the wrong doing he would've been charged with something. And most probably the same charge as ray.

It still leaves a bad odor when mike said he'd be there for as long as the city wanted, then after a short while decides to bail. The residents of DeFuniak depended on him to stay a bit longer than he is willing to. What made him change his mind? Why go back on his word? He has much left to do. Why leave so much undone? And for sconiers, please. It wreaks worst of all. IF mike is elected that will leave a very short time to find a suitable replacement. If he takes chapman with him, and he should (he needs the votes chapman can get him) sconiers will probably be the only 'so called" reasonable choice forcing the city to accept him. If I had a sweet deal like that I'd support mike too, but my conscience would stop me. And as far as the "list of accomplishments" mike claims on his website......heres a news flash.......98% of them are DICTATED STEP BY STEP AND MANDATED by the Florida Accreditation Commission to get standards. Why he would try to mislead anyone into thinking they were his ideas and accomplishments is a deliberate twist of facts. Its giant leap backwards to the old days. I thought Walton County grew past that. Make your own choice to whom you support. But please oh please make an educated choice. Dont take anyone by their word. Verify and validate, then maybe a good educated decision can be reached.

Just because Mike get Sheriff (CROSSING FINGER,EYES, AND TOES) doesnt mean he will turn his back on the P.D. Just because the current administration doesnt work with the P.D. doesnt mean that Mike wont. He has done a great job on turning that place around. Some of the guys that currently work there were fired from the S.O as I understand it, and choose to work for the P.D. The good ol boy that you guys claim will come back with Mike such as Chapman and all that bunch already worked there when he was elected to do a job. The residence of Defuniak, are still residence of Walton County. We all depend and need a good Sheriff as well. I doubt very seriously the city will every be forced to except anyone into a Chief's position. If Chapman comes back he will likely be the next Chief, not Josh. I too have been doing some research on this election and the S.O. PD etc. Mike Adkinson is highly qualified to run this county, as he did with the city. He has my vote. Good luck to everyone running.

I have read all the comments since I posted this thread a while back and I also understand everyone's point of view and everyone has a right to their own opinion. I personally have contact with several deputies these days and a couple of "high brass" in the current administration. They all agree that everyone is ready for a change in the sheriff's office and want a new sheriff who can put Walton County on the map for outstanding law enforcement, not on the map as a place where you can get fired if you get pregnant....better yet be promoted to Lt. from a maintenance man. The morale is down and keeps going down these days. Someone asked earlier was Sconiers supporting Adkinson? He sure is and i don't blame him at all. Sconiers have spoken to all the other candidates and researched each of their qualifications, along with their future goals for WCSO. And he believes that Mike will make a positive change with the sheriff's office and make each and every deputy proud they work for Walton County Sheriff's Office. Like i said in an earlier post, come August I'll cast my vote for Mike Adkinson.

Amen.........

Wow! After reading this thread hoping to get some insight about the area. I'm shocked to realize it's like a stereotype of a typical corrupt southern town from a movie! This oughta be interesting!

You claim to have done your homework? First of all Chapman IS back! But more importantly what about the misleading statement mike makes on his website telling people HE has brought about certain changes. The Florida Accreditation Commission mandates an average of up to 270 minimum standards that must be met to achieve accreditation for a police department. The standards required are handed to you in a booklet. Mike claims most of the improvements in the PD are his ideas. Thats wrong and very misleading. They are mandates made by the accreditation commission and not mikes ideas. And by the way, before he claims credit for getting the pd on the road to accreditation, it was mandated by the state of florida a few years back. its in florida statues if you care to do more homework. AND mike touts the title accreditation manager. Woo hoo! Its a two day course. Thats right 16 big hours. AND I can find no record of mike ever having managed a complete accreditation process. The average is two years! So he will leave that unfinished as well if elected. So please verify all that is here. Then tell me you still trust this man to tell you the truth and represent the most powerful agency in the county.! Or did he Mis-speak like hillary?

Yeah, it's just like Roadhouse. Just the other day I was in the hardware store and the local version of "Brad Wesley" came in and busted up the place and threatened the owner "Blue" if he did not come up with the civic improvement money. I got a razor installed in my boot, and for added protection I learned how to rip a guys heart out (and look good doing it). Shocked! Shocked I say! Is writing "stereotype of a typical" redundant?
