APS Police Department has a new Chief

I have heard from a source I consider reliable, that the APS Police Department has a new Chief; Acting Chief of Police Steve Tellez. The skinny is that it was done in secret and nobody else was interviewed. I will bow to controverting fact.

If true, it would make sense.

The leadership of the APS needs to keep
the lid on the scandal in the leadership of
the APS Police Department, link. They
have in Tellez, a Chief who will help them
cover up their cover up.

It is Tellez' responsibility to turn over the
evidence of felony criminal misconduct by
APS senior administrators, to DA Kari Brandenburg.

The evidence has been suppressed for
more than four years by corrupt APS
senior administrators and school board
members.

Though statutes of limitation are expiring
on felony criminal misconduct,
Brandenburg claims she is powerless to
compel APS leaders to surrender the
evidence they are hiding.

Tellez will continue to sit upon the "investigation" for as long as the leadership of the APS is willing to pay him around a hundred grand a year for doing it.

Tellez is either too incompetent to complete the investigation
or too corrupt to hand the results over to the DA. Either way,
he is just what the leadership of the APS needs to keep the lid
on their own corruption and incompetence.

Tellez is using his publicly funded private police force to enforce the illegal restraining order that he and Marty Esquivel cooked up to keep me from speaking truth to power at school board meetings.

He is the one they want in place when senior members of the APS PD have step up to recently filed EEOC charges of sexual harassment.

Tellez is about as corrupt as a cop can get and still be standing on the sunny side of jail bars. If he has indeed been promoted to Chief to

• continue the coverup and suppression of the Caswell Report on corruption in the APS Police Department, and
• interfere with sexual harassment complaints against senior members of his department, and
• to stifle dissidence and dissidents at school board meetings,

then perhaps the leadership of the APS is even more corrupt
than I thought.

Is that even possible?

Update; Both Tellez and APS Executive Director of Communications Monica Armenta acknowledged that I have asked them if the story is true; that Tellez has been promoted to Chief. Neither responded. Director of Communications Rigo Chavez was asked, but did not acknowledge that he had. Make of all that, what you will.
