APS to fight for police force during legislature

KOB TV reports that APS is trying to get the legislature to
make the APS Police Department a "stand alone" police force.

There are upsides; not the least of which is state and federal
grants that are made to actual police departments, and
immediate access to the NCIC Criminal Data Base.

The part I don't understand;

the felony criminal abuse of the BCSO NCIC involving APS
senior administrators,

  • Tom Savage's fiancee was the victim of an illegal criminal background search,
  • as was at least one whistle blower whose background was searched illegally and in retaliation for blowing the whistle,
  • and I think, five other victims of illegal searches involving APSPD and the BCSO,
is still being hidden by APS, from the District Attorney's Office.


How does that wash, exactly,
in the decision to upgrade the APSPD to a stand alone police force?

The answer is; it doesn't.

Of course they want a stand-alone police force.
How else will they cover up the crimes in their schools?
How else will they totally beat transparency?
How else will admin contain their Praetorian guard, answerable to no one but them?
And when staff and admin commit a crime such as fondling a student, suspending them on suspicion, or getting students to help lure drug dealers into the "open", who will be there to stop illicit adults? (no one).
By simple reasoning, could a stand-alone police unit sieze property such as cars, drugs, electronics?
Could such a unit investigate a principal's girlfriend.
This is a horrific idea!
