LETTERS

The OCSD Fox Guarding the Hen

By Kevin Keyes - OC Sheriff Candidate

April 8, 2008

According to the OCRegister, “Thousands of pages of transcripts released Monday by the Superior Court showed a jail system out of control, with deputies failing to perform even cursory patrols of the jail barracks, instead relying on jail “shotcallers” – or inmate leaders – to enforce the rules.

The use of inmates to control other inmates is against department policy, but deputies violated rule after rule in an effort to do as little work as possible, records show.”

Also, jurors found high-ranking sheriff’s officials were untruthful in their testimony, offered forged documentation or no documents at all.”

It would appear not only has the past sheriff and his Asst. Sheriff’s been incapable of running the department, the lack of ability by any sheriff to manage the operations under them is unforgivable.

The Orange Country taxpayer deserves better then this and at this point, almost anything less then the wholesale removal of the union that currently runs the Sheriff department would be acceptable to the taxpayers of Orange County.
