New board is running smoothly!

I'm glad to see that many of you have been by the new board. I think this will work out well for the future. It allows an easier environment for everyone to communicate. We have had 35 new members and over 200 guest in the last 3 days. Please let everyone at the precincts (stations) know that they can anonymously join the board and discuss what's on their mind. http://mpdenforcer20.proboards.com/

New Message Board Up!

Some of you may have noticed a lack of posting for the last few weeks. No, I'm not in jail or being tracked by the feds. I have been brainstorming for a better way to interact with the readers and let the legitimate readers communicate with one another.

I am currently beta testing a new discussion board and hope that it will be a positive forum for all that wish to comment. The same rules apply there as they do here. No more racist (12 Negroes) posting and who's screwing who. Readers will have to register to post and provide an e-mail address for activation. You can go to Google and create a "trash" e-mail account using false information. That way, you can remain anonymous. This will also allow you to create a screen name that only you will be able to post from. It's first come first serve on the screen names! Be quick, because the heavy hitters (Larry Godwin, Baby Godwin, Lon Paul, etc.) will get scooped up.

I will test this board for a month and see if it proves to be a better fit than the comments section of this blog. The address is http://mpdenforcer20.proboards.com

A word to the wise......

If you are going to drink, don't drive. Nothing looks worse than another one of us getting pinched for a DUI.

Can anyone tell me who is Dirk Diggler?

No, but we can tell you who he/she isn't. Dirk is not Smallwood. Dirk is not Palmer. Dirk is alive and well, just like the MPD Enforcer 2.0.

The purpose of this blog is and will always be a place for officers to sound off about what is really going on with the Memphis Police Department. A place to publicly out all back channel deals and mistreatment of officers. We may take "breaks" at times to clear our collective heads and redirect our energy for the betterment of the officers.

There's no doubt about it. Memphis is in a bad state no matter how Gibbons and GODwin try to glorify the current climate. Any college kid that has had Criminal Justice 101 knows how the rate fluctuates in the media. One minute it is up, the next down. The full awake in CJ101 knows that the rate is steady. It's the amount of crime REPORTED that causes and ebb and flow.

Our classifications on R&Is cause the rate to constantly be misreported. Janikowski might as well be a janitor with all of the shit he has been shoveling.

***SIDE NOTE: We are no longer moderating comments. You will see trash talking and Jerry Springer like antics that are NOT condoned by the contributors.

New post.

Everyone wanted a new post. Here it is...........

Announcement.

We received the below e-mail in regards to a retired officer's status:

hello i am a former police officer in Memphis. I'm not sure how many older police officers read this blog, but if they do i was wanting to let them know that my father, Jason Morris Jr. , a retired Lt. is is the hospital with liver disease. it doesn't look good and just wondered if you would post this and keep him in your prayers.

Congratulations JD Sewer!

Well, JD Sewer squeeked out a win by one point last month to garner the first title for 2009. We are now taking nominations for February.

As a reminder, nominate someone that is worthy of this award. Just because someone has a cushy assignment, doesn't make them an asshole. There are plenty of assess in the MPD, obviously from the top down. When submitting your name, tell us why. These are not new rules. Submissions that do not contain details will be left out of the vote.

Douchebag says what?

Here we go again. Our dipshit, dumb ass, idiotic Dictator speaks. It was announced today about the arrests of two MPD officers. When asked about the arrest by the media, GODwin responded with "I'm a little disappointed in two police officers, but as far as I'm concerned, that's two criminals off the streets."

This is a prime example of why this dumb ass needs to go. Everyone of my fellow brothers and sisters in blue should want this mindless maggot's head on a platter. What happened to due process? What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Should our leader (term loosely used) convict any of us in the media before we get a fair trial? I think not.

This is a main reason why we have no faith or trust in our 12th floor arm chair heroes. I hope and pray that the two officers are innocent. I would love to see them have their day in court. Also, I would love to see them sue the shit out of Frayser Boy GODwin for referring to them as criminals. The only criminal I see is a douchebag known as Larry "Chico" GODwin.

The list is up

Some of you will notice the condensed list of nominees. Many of the nominations were sent in without justification. You cannot just say "Jane Doe, cuz she's a bitch". This is not Bitch of The Month.

I'll apologize up front for pissing off the few people who fell into the above category.

Dirk

Nominations for January 2009 AOTM.

Folks, it's that time of the month where we take the nominations for Asshole of the Month. Please get your nominations to us by next weekend. We would like to allow voting to begin next Sunday.

On a side note, we have been busy with work and trying to keep up with the media attention in the Jeffrey Scott trial. Chico has been laying low and there hasn't been anything news worthy from 12. There is some unfinished business from last year and we hope that the media will seek the results. For instance, GODwin's ticket scandal. When is the City "Ethics" committee going to rule? Was a scapegoat sent packing? You decide.

Lateral Professional Sounds Off

Before reading LP's e-mail, I would like to make a few comments. I do not look at IPs, nor do I save them. We have an individual that can retrieve this information ONLY if we have a problem. Meaning, if someone is trying to disrupt this blog. GODwin cannot subpoena this information and he will never be able to retrieve it from us.

Secondly, there are "lurkers" posting on this blog using screen names that belong to other people. It's very easy to do and I will not tell you how. We noticed it during the beginning when someone posted under Dirk's screen name. Now on to the e-mail:

For many reasons, I wish to keep my real name and identity to myself. Apparently you can see ip address but I'm not sure what else, and I am an idiot to even send this email. I had posted back when I first came to this area and even got myself my own email/blog that I was trying to use not attached to anything personal, but some idiot hacked it (most likely one of your friggin idiot comment posters). So I am starting over. Please remove my previous lat prof from the followers as that was me, and I went out and got me a new gmail with a different spelling.

I just wonder why there are so many bad apples in the bunch that spoil it for the good ones trying to do their job. You allow people to post about all the OT they are getting and the amt they make with all their lame comments and no regulation on how it looks for the rest of you guys. So the reason I am emailing is to find out what can happen to one of your "rookie buddies" out there if he/she was to say something about the crap going on during training. Like I originally said, I am in a lateral profession with very similar problems in my own field, but they are cracking down on people who try and get away with a lot of the stuff listed on your site. And it goes all the way up the chain... but I digress. I have a close buddy who is going through some crap right now in your precinct. What should my buddy do? Mind you, there is that police code that is being stuck to about not telling on each other.

Ok, so here is the deal. There is this crappy FTO that I am sure has been doing a crappy job for some amount of time. In stead of doing the job you all are paid to do, the FTO sits in the car or a nice eatery when supposedly out of service for a call in the area - and yet they are not really checking on a car or at the call! That isn't even the worst of it. This lazy mofo has the nerve to get numbers and try to hook up and flirt with those waiting at those eateries and then hang out for who knows how long. Is it right to be out of service for up to 2 hours trying to hook up while that rookie sits there waiting to do a job? Is this how you guys are actually training the new people? Is it acceptable? Is there any regulations in violation? What if that rookie wanted to complain? You all post about not telling on each other and how bad that would be, and yet this stuff happens and give no choice to those trying to learn how to do the job. Does this mean that you just fake it till you make it to avoid making this FTO look bad? I mean come on, who picks up food for their momma and then delivers it ON THE CLOCK? Who sorts out their married life and side sex flings, ON THE CLOCK? Who goes to the store and buys groceries and delivers them outside of the precinct on the opposite side of memphis ON THE CLOCK? all of this is happening while supposedly on a call! And to top it off, if there is a problem, the rookie is blamed? So on the radio the rookie says the correct place where they are located and the FTO will get on and correct the rookie by LYING! WTF!!!!!! What about the FTO leaving early with the little rookie shaking in nicely polished boots in the cop car is waiting to be signal C'd? What is up with the bipolar FTO with moods that swing like a bungee rope and change what kind of day the trainee has? This is insane and pissing me off. And no I am not the person, but I sure know someone in that situation and wish I could tell on him myself. I am sure all you (as it sounds like there is more than one of you logging in as dirk) would find ways to pull me over and give me a hard time for anything. If you want Godwin to clean up his act, why don't you send the message that all you crackpots ought to clean up your own first. No one will ever listen to you guys until you change the childish nature and actually start acting like a bunch of professionals. And that is hard to come by when you are voting for the biggest a$$hole of the month etc.

so I am pissed off as it is insane that my hard work and tax dollars are going to pay a bunch of fat lazy renegade cops who cut out early, lie, cheat and steal.

so what does my buddy do? Are you, dirk, one of these people? Hell, you might be the FTO I'm talking about. I would give you a name, but I know it is public knowledge what trainee is assigned to who. I'm not stupid enough to get my buddy in trouble by doing that. If I could give you more info without having that whole force on my back I sure would. This friggin city is like gotham city and we need a friggin batman to deal with all you jokers!

I just have to reiterate, there are a lot of good cops out there. There are those that are knowledgeable and know all the policy & procedures, but just don't do the job. And there are those that are obviously bad and suck a$$. And of course I HOPE the majority are good guys. My buddy has been corrected by other FTO's who show the right way of doing things and are conscientious. My buddy talks about a lot of positive things going on with those other guys, so I know that there are good ones out there.

I would appreciate if you could get back to me on this. I am tired and had to edit the crap that just came flying off my fingers, so this is the nice version of what I wrote.

Screw Up

I think the media picked up on this story, but I could be wrong. If they did, it was a fleeting moment on a back page. If anyone wishes to fill in the facts, please comment. Also, nobody cares who's gay, who's banging GODwin's daughter, who's banging Bullard, what Obama has done now or any other irrelevant comments. These will no longer be posted. We let you get away with it for months and now it has become annoying to the readers.

Some of you may have noticed an increase of attacks against officers posting on this blog. There are a select few of the ass kissers posting about "whining officers". They are attempting to place a spin on the situation and attacking our blog from a different angle. As of now, it is US vs. THEM. The administration would prefer that our status be US vs. US. Don't fall for their 3rd grade trickery. If we fight amongst ourselves, we cannot fight THEM. We lose our focus and the 12th floor keeps on rolling.

Now to the e-mail we received:

Dirk... First of all, please keep my email Anonymous. I just have a little heads up for you, if you haven't already heard.

So a few nights ago... Shooting call goes out. 2 Airways Delta officers respond. Supposedly they look around, find some empty shotgun shells, and knock on the door. No answer. They clear the scene. Well, about an hour or so later another call comes out, same location. Apparently the news van went to the scene and looked around, found a dead body. They called thinking the MPD might be interested in the info. Well, officers and Lt again make the scene, find a dead guy laying in the middle of a driveway 4 houses down, pistol next to him, blood trail leading back to the location of the initial call. There's also a car in front of the location covered in holes from birdshot. Officers knock on door, door creaks open. They proceed through the house and find a girl hiding in the back who was a witness to the shooting.

Great job guys... clear the call only to have the news channel call and tell you there's a dead guy on the ground.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Larry "Chico" GODwin has been selected as the MPD Enforcer2.0's first Asshole of The Year Award. The competition was tough and some individuals attempted to skew the voting by manipulating the votes. At least one individual wanted Bill Woodard to win this coveted prize. He/she manipulated their ip in an attempt to ensure Woodard's victory.

We recognize GODwin is a complete asshole and no doubt will continue his reign into 2009. Since the Mayor will not listen to what we and the citizens want, there is hope that an indictment will be in order during the first quarter of 2009. A possibility of conspiracy charges and tampering with evidence in the Ashley Scott trial? Maybe charges stemming from his ticket fixing scandal? We are still waiting for the outcome from the City of Memphis ethics committee (or should we say person). Has the media forgotten about this as well?

The crime and corruption in this city should be no joke to anyone. We still live in a free society and should demand more from our elected/public officials. Running a city like a HIGH SCHOOL fraternity should not be allowed. We MUST bring in outside pressure on the elected officials of Memphis. We must take our cause to the national level. That is why I looked at an outside firm (as well as local) to be on my legal team. Memphis officials cannot handle the outside pressure and negative spotlight continually cast on their mistakes. We must bring Washington D.C. to our fight. We must have and outside agency micro-manage our government until it can stand on it's own feet. Enough is enough.
