Michael Kimbrell spent a lot of hours watching porn and
playing slot machines, while he was being paid tax dollars
to be protecting taxpayers from exactly this kind of corruption.
"As KRQE ... investigative reporter Larry Barker found out,
it seemed no one was watching the watchdog." link
That's bad enough, but it is at most; manifest
human weakness.
On the other hand, and far worse;
the system did not prevent or even detect the corruption.
Were it not for a whistle blower,
he would still be playing slots and watching porn on our dime.
If the system enables this kind of corruption and incompetence,
if the system did not detect corruption on this scale,
how can we expect the system to detect corruption at all?
This scandal flows from a lack of standards and accountability
in the leadership of the APS.
A standards and accountability audit would end corruption
and incompetence once and for all.
Too bad that the ones with the power to start the audit,
are the same ones who will be destroyed by it.
Otherwise, there would be an audit.

The worst part of the latest APS scandal

This is not new. APS paid Gil Lovato to sleep with his subordinates on duty. Art Melindres knew from the first lawsuit that he defended Lovato against that he was a quid pro quo sexual harasser of other subordinate APS police employees, and it took them almost 20 years to do anything about him.
I guess we know now why there has been no movement on the corruption within APS regarding ex parte communication between contractors and Board members who influence contracts awarded to APS Lawyers. APS has a billion dollars it gets from the State and Feds every year; if some contractor can unfairly influence the process and become "indespensible", then the statutes regarding procurement of services over 10 thousand per year can just be ignored. contrary to law, and the kind of thing Kimbrel SHOULD have been looking into instead of soaking up his salary that could literally pay for 7 or 8 educational assistants.
