We do not make jokes, we simply watch the LA Times, the Orange County Register and CID/HOA board of directors and report the facts!
A Chat with OC Sheriff Candidates: Ralph Martin
OCSD priorities: Restructuring the top brass. Fewer Assistant Sheriff's and more management accountability through the Law Enforcement "COMSTAT" system- Commander R. Martin.
February
23,
2008
We have offered the seven identified OC Sheriff candidates; Jack Anderson, Bill Hunt, Craig Hunter, Kevin Keyes, Ralph Martin, Ken Maddox and Paul Walters, the CotoBuzz Journal as a platform to communicate with their respective potential supports. We have also posed to them a number of questions – we shall be publishing their responses in the order we receive them.
Following is a virtual chat with candidate Ralph Martin
CBJ:
Do you agree that the OCSD needs a corporate
culture extreme makeover?
RM: No question, there needs to be a wholesale change in leadership, much like when a new CEO is appointed to a corporation and makes sweeping changes. The investors want some positive return. In this case, rather than a profit, the residents of OC want public trust restored.
CBJ:
What are your priorities for the
OCSD if selected?
RM: Priorities : Restructuring the top
brass. Fewer Assistant Sheriff's and more management
accountability through the Law Enforcement "COMSTAT"
system. (too long to describe here)

CBJ: What/who
is your biggest obstacle to getting the post? RM: Biggest obstacle to being appointed? I'm a Dodger fan. Although I really like/admire Mike Scocia. My 34+ yrs in the largest Sheriff's Department in the country, having help run the largest jail system, help cities with contracting with the LA Sheriff's Dept, and currently overseeing 2.000 personnel with an annual operating budget of $240 million, should at least give me an edge over all the other known candidates.

LACSD Commander Ralph Martin |
RM: Problems with the BOS and DA? This is difficult, since I really have no current interaction with either entity. However, I am a consensus builder and work hard at ensuring others who can help with Law Enforcement are not left out of the loop. Twenty First Century law enforcement is about utilizing local, state and federal assistance with help from local clergy, business and education.
If you think that Ralph Martin is the right person for position, be sure to write your Orange County Supervisor and send the CotoBuzz Journal a copy of your request.
