When APS administrators used BCSO resources to harass whistle blowers

the buck stopped on Darren White's desk.

He is not honest enough,
to admit even that much.

Bud Lake runs the Communication Center where the misuse happened, he is the "man in charge" there, and the dispatchers do not work for the BCSD. The dispatchers are the people who do the NCIC checks and run III, or skilled clerical staff if not dispatchers who are certified in safeguarding the information they can access.

But, the CRIME was in BCSD jurisdiction. If a dispatcher from the county communicatin center gets her purse stolen, she would call BCSD, it is in the county. By the same token, White should have authorized a criminal report be taken on the Triple I crimes. Or , he could have requested that the FBI criminally investigae once he became aware of the Federal crimes that were committed on top of the Administrative issues.

The CJIS people, the people who make sure that the NCIC procedures are followed, are not federal cops or federal agents, so they could not initiate an actual criminal investigation.

It seems someone powerful took White aside and told him not to allow a report to be written, but who, and why did he listen and obey? Who does White cowtow to that has an interest in keeping the NCIC terminal as an active item on Good Old Boy eBay?

Or is it just not a concern that people were scrutinized by those who SHOULD NOT have had access to the terminal, and that it was done to perpetrate harassment of whistleblowers?

Joseph is Diogenes' six's six.

I am grateful that you take the time to flesh out the hidden workings and inner mechanisms; the parts I know nothing of, and where all the nasty stuff gets done.

Sooner or later, these guys are going to be on the train to Yuma, and I sure as hell can't do that alone.

Hang in there.
