Lake County Government Watch

Oh and since staffing returned a year later, Mitchell never restarted SED even though Ski is now a sergeant with SED experience. Also lets face it, Mitchell uses the staffing excuse over and over again. Oh and what happened to the school cops? if a 900 position worked for years in Kelseyville, why not LOWER LAKE HIGH, Middletown and Upper Lake High?

Papers have been picked up and the in lieu of signature forms as well. We will not revel that individual the entity that got the information will do so.

The Lovelace group has always said the potential for the dyanmics to change were coming, that other people would potentially step into the fray, That everyone should hold their positions and understand your view will be different as the days go by.

We stand by that original statement and after this don't be surprised if a few more manifest. Its all going to be a different view as a few weeks go by.
 

Looks like Chief Burke saw a good thing right under Mitchell's nose. Huggins is a retired deputy working part time for the Kelseyville School District as a School Resource Deputy. This was so successful that Huggins continued this job to this date.

Burke used to put a full time officer in the city schools. He saw the advantages with Huggins and the savings. Burke found a former police officer who was willing to work part time for the schools. Mitchell on the other hand turns Lower Lake High School over to Clearlake Police and dropped Upper Lake and Middletown all together.

Rivero for Sheriff, if you are blaming Mitchell for the increase in some categories of crime, shouldn't you give him credit for the decrease in property crime (-19%) and sex crimes (-28%)?
 

The only Dark Side Mark Hommer ever had was those who stood in His shaddow wishing they has the street smarts he had naturally, hope Ferie is living happer now that he got his way.
LPD lose anyone who know him............knows him...no matter what is said here His Friends know what they know and He was done wrong like so many who outshine those wannabees.

Oh and Hall never went to boats, he was promoted to sergeant out of SED. And it's Chief Deputy, not Deputy Chief. Which is proof enough that you're just regurgitating information fed to you by someone else, and don't really have first hand knowledge of any of the "facts" you claim to have.
 

Some guy named Baxter took out papers to run, reportedly a retired San Jose PD sergeant. So far no one that I talk to knows anything about him.
 

Jones
smith
ostini

some just like to vomit here without actually eating the correct info
 

What the hell is going on with the Perdock investigation ? Is Rodney going to hold out until Perdock retires ? Hommer got fired from the Lakeport P.D.
faster then Perdocks investigation is completed !!! What's up with that, or maybe Buchholtz's phone is busy.

If its the same person he is approx 70 years old..1962 a cadet then worked Morgan Hills for 6years and the rest in San Jose for a total of 32 years of service as a Sargeant with the San Jose Police Department. Retired 2003. So, my question is seriously, this isn't any short term position or partime position here. This is a full time around the clock job. Thanks Mr. Baxter for applying but I want round the clock long term management change not short term, sorry. Rivero4 change
 

Post 1:29 I think you left the sex crimes of the local LE out of your stats didn't you?

Once again Dumb ass, get your facts straight, just look in RIMS, ask Ostini, Ski or even Hall. Hall worked several months with Ostini in Boats after Smith retired. He operated Gregory's boat. Also, Hall was NEVER put in charge of SED. Hall left SED because of his foot injury and was off on 4850 for a long time than returned to Boats. During that time he retired his dog, but she died soon after. Hall lives a few blocks away from the back door to the SO. Huggins was the first K9 unit with a doberman pincher, than Morshed (who had two german shepherds). Than Ski, Gregore and Ward to finally Dutra.

And if you think I don't know what I'm talking about, maybe Ringen will sign on and confirm this. Dumb ass.

Now dumb ass, get your facts right and stop trying to turn the facts. Only two area's out of six categories were low. Property crime was only dropped 16% and sex crimes dropped 28%. I believe that is due to Curran's passion to his job. No other person has handled that job with more dedication than Curran. And look at the highest increase, Drugs & Alcohol at 31%.

While I agree with you about Curran (and then some - the people of Lake County are damn lucky to have him on the job) I would like you to reconcile the fact that Rivero has said on many occasions that there is no detective assigned to child abuse with the fact that Mike Curran investigates the shit out of child abuse.
 

LOL, Rivero and some 70+ year old unknown...That's the best the anti-Mitchell people can do? The reason you don't have a viable candidate is because the people who are qualified to actually do that job know that Sheriff Mitchell is the best person for the job, and see through this mudslinging campaign against him and the department.
 

"X"
By keeping Pedock on Admin Leave, Mitchell is bound by the law not to answer the public on personnel related discipline. Yep, he can stretch this out until Perdock's retirement or just until he gets re-elected. If this is Mitchell's last term, he could reinstate Perdock and won't care what the public things since he doesn't plan on running again. Sort of like a President on his second term.

Also, as to the statistyics, the fact that some numbers have increased does not necessarily mean that the numbers have increased because of the ineeficiency of law enforcement. What's the causl connection? Are there other factors, such as budget cuts to treatment programs, early release from jail prison, and so on, that factor into any increase? But if you are going to a straight numbers up analysis, then shouldn't Mitchell get credit for some numbers going down?
 

Post 9:48, here is the offer to you, by the time Tuesday or Wednesday of the coming week hits, we want you on this blog, and describe to us again the mudslinging, and we will see if it is still your contention that it is mudslinging or if your boy just got his rearend handed to him. Curious? Stand by friend, and keep spouting off, we supsect the last thing we will here from you will be silence, that you can take to the bank.
 

To the post concerning Perdock, inside informatin indicates that people, including the BOS are in the process of addressing the Perdock leave issue on an individual basis, as well as the overall situation of Mitchells use of this process to protect people, Perdock is way overdue on the original 45 days, and it is our and the internal sources position that Mitchell is simply trying not to fire him and or others that have been placed in this status. Mitchell is going to be told he has to fish or cut bait and the public funds being used to pay these people has got to stop and stop now. We belive finally they will stick to their guns and stop this once and for all.
 

Looking for information concerning a female officer recently being placed on un-paid admin leave, connected to or from CLPO, there are connections we are looking at and this is just in to us, anyone with details on this siutation please post either on public thread or on the secure g-mail.....sheriffmitchellwatch@gmail.com
 

9:47 Curran is a Sex Crimes Detective. He investigates sexual abuse against adults as well as children. He does not investigate physical abuse or neglect. There is no child abuse detective or elder abuse either. Mitchell's priorities lays elsewhere, eg: Garzoli's helicopter lessons and Ski's MJ OT. That's the no spin truth.
 

Its been almost what 4-5 yrs now that there hasn't been anyone overseeing elder abuse? So tell me, what happens to all those complaints that have been filed for elder abuse?
 

Post#9:48: I do not throw mud nor do I not tell the truth about my experiences, not only Mitchell,Hopkins or the other despots I have met in this local government. I tell you who I am and can be found with little effort. So you offer officer Rivero's flaws for the actions perpetrated by some sheriff officers,Mitchell and Hopkins, so we should keep the status quo. I would hope not.Their actions have been truly despicable. Proud to see so many starting to understand what goes on because its a personnel matter. If the AG would truly look at this government and how it is run,there would be employment for a lot of other people.
 

To post Jan. 30 at 9:40 am, you are right with your information. That is exactly how I remember things.
 

Curran does do serious physical abuse cases like shaken babies. I've read the reports.
 

We agree with Kip on his 11:07 post confirming the facts of the 9:49 post, and in fact have talked to two other people who confirm the same set of events and timelines. Sounds like that is shall we say open and shut. Thanks for the posts and factual details.
 

We are looking into the "newcomer" reported to be entering the sheriffs race, which is Baxter, some background checks are being done, and thus far we see no major issues with this indicidual. One of the concerns we are voicing in this situation is this. It has been noted that Mitchell had made internal statements, centered around possibly wanting a "known" canidate to run in the race to pull votes from Rivero, at this time it does not appear to be the case. But we cannot put it past Mitchell to try this. This individual is known to have "local" connections, as long as those connections are not connected to Mitchell no issue. We are sure that the integrity of Rivero will stand tall in this instance, and he would welcome others to the race as his greatest concern is the removal of the corruption in our county.

As another point in this situation, we would raise some issues centered around the idea that we do not want a "late" arrival into the race, after the difficult plowing of the fiels has already happened, the corruption exposed by Rivero, through hard work and attacks aganist him. Then a new player comes in and walks the nicely plowed path. Internally we have heard that even his individual has not made Mitchell happy that he might be entering the race, so the above posts may not bear that heavy, none the less this is no time to leave any stone unturned.
 

9:59 There are NO "early releases" you ass.........the early release law just went into affect Monday....and they haven't even started the process yet. DUH, can you think of anything else that holds up?? And the So has the biggest budget of all agencies in the county. give it a break.
 

The sheriffs office is the largest cash expenditure in the county period we have looked into this along the lines of trying to understand the monies spent what is the norm in other counties and what the public should expect in reagards to how much the sheriff is spending and the amounts the BOS is approving, it is fact that the SO budget is the largest in the county. That point no one can argue.
 

Not that it matters, but for you rookie cops that don't know the SO history, Huggin's doberman "Condor" was not the first K-9 unit. In the early 70's Deputy Engle had a Doberman, broke up many fights, tracked down many criminals and bit many people, including me.
 

Lovelace: sent you an email; regarding the above....I can fax you some documents
if you need. Thanks
 

Post 12:19 yes we received your e-mail and have responded back to you, we will request the documents for faxing, and our response elludes to that in the timing and current situation that exists. Thank you so much for your help and continued assistance, as we have always said we cannot accomplish what we have without the help of all the citizens out there, and all of your efforts, some at great risk will be rewarded.
 

The first k-9 unit was Deputy Bill Engler. He had a Dobie, and did a great job with that dog for the county. I think he quit/retired sometime around 1980, give or take a year. He worked primarily south county, but went wherever needed. Just wanted the name corrected.
 

Look south of your office and what’s near by?
Well, it’s the courthouse, my oh my!
 

You bring items there but you're no clerk

Interesting post 1:28 for what it means we can't wait, its either a guess of who we are, but we must say youv'e not gotten far. But try us again if you dare, when you are correct we will make you aware.
 

I told you between the group of us we could get a poem posted...
 

already verified of being correct for me I said I would not post on here for obivious reasons your name/s

Thanks for the post 1:31 we have gotten past the need for luck, for when it quacks and walks its usually a duck.
 

Post 1:34 no quesses have been correct thus far, some we have hinted at that they may be on track, but alas it was only to throw off the track.

By the way we don't want anyone doing a rhyme with the word duck!!

But the autographed photo is still available we don't think anyone sent us a mailing address, if we missed it let us know or post it to the e-mail account.
 

ya 1:32 we gots us some real poets here don't we. Not that we are going lauerate anytime soon, but we see the potential.
 

oh contraer email a scanned copy I have a printer don't fgrget to personalize it for me ....
 

many words can rhyme with DUCK
infact I know a guy named Chuck
he rarely quakes nary and nil
He does say no cash
Put in on my Bill
 

I apologize since I was not a deputy during the 1980's. I was not aware of Deputy Engle, I was just going back as far as I could remember. I bet if we dig deeper, I bet you'd find K9's with the Sheriff's Office going back into the 1800's.

My point was the Mitchell had a unit with high arrests and taking a lot of dope off the street. Ski was part of SED for about a year (I might be off on the time), than Hall went out for medical reasons, McMahon and Ski got promoted. Hall returned after his medical leave and went to Boats. While in Boat's he was promoted to sergeant and returned to patrol.

Mitchell did away with SED, School Resource Deputies, Elder Abuse Investigator (the last I believe was Zuhrung). Then we have the major mismanagement of Perdock and Garzoli. Add them up and you got a major out of control management.

As for Mr. Dumb ass, If Ringen is still logged on, he will confirm I am right about SED, K9 and that Hall was in Boat Patrol along with two others you failed to list, Wells and Gregory. Oh just for the record, I think McMahon and Hall are two of the biggest narcissistic person's next to Mitchell.

Post 1:53, we can e-mail it to you, and you can scan it but do remember the quality degradation is significant, we want our full attractivness to not be diminished. But as you wish.
 

Post 1:57, we must say you have diminished our standing as great poets significantly.
 

In 2007 Martina Santor and Dave Brown claimed to be the "elder abuse investigators". I know that M.Santor was involved in the case of (CHP) Poindexter vs State of Ca. over the abuse of Art Newman and his wife. Judge Mann presided over the case. Poindexter took advantage of the Newmans over a purchase of some property. It involved farm equipment that was housed on the property that was not included in the purchase price and Poindexter refused to return it. Poindexter eventually returned the equipment after the court ordered it. The Newman's were in their 90's and Poindexter was found by the elder abuse investigator, Santor, to have taken advantage of the Newman's feebleness and Poindexter was charged. Upon his appearance in court, Judge Mann threw the case out, stating that because of Poindexter's 30 so years in LE/CHP that he was above reproach!....Nice!
 

Interesting bit of information, first we will pose a question, anyone know who owns the jail and the property seems as though a curious individual is part "owner" and the individual may be a judge. Sounds odd doesn't it. We are still looking at this one, so thought we might throw that one out there and see what we get. Post what you know.
 

Judge Mann is reported to be a retired judge, and is on duty through the department of justice. This means he cannot be investigated through the commission on judical performance, although there is another entity that will do so. We have judge Martin under investigation, and when the current storm that comes over the next few days is here, we want to start taking a real close look at this guy. We have not done so thus far, but want to start a little information gathering.
 

Question: If Mark Hommer was fired for lying, then what does that do to his testimony in cases he was involved in? If he lied to his wife, lied to his boss....then I am sure he would/did lie about his arrests!
 

Just got the name concerning the jail land ownership situation, appears the judge is Mann, interesting anyone having details of this please post.
 

We just had an attempted attack again by the kids at Madd, we have gone to moderator mode, continue to post as usual and we will review and post it will just take a bit longer to go up, no big deal. As all of you know the MADD organization are a neo nazi group whose founder has left them, as she describes because the organization is total prohibitionist movement that wants no alcohol anywhere in the country they have taken all rights of the citizens away, and cause a reported 6000 suicides a year due to their hard core tactics aganist common good people, they are now trying to get parental rights taken away from anyone who even for example has a beer at a ball game while watching their kids play. beware of these idiots they are stange and quite willing to take your rights as citizens.
 

By the way before we get back to our purpose of Mitchell and Hopkins, public opinion concerning Madd or Madness as they are called is ebbing away, it is now reported that only 31 percent of the population supports the neo nazi activities of Maddness, most now see the light concerning this strange and bizzare group of people. And they are getting stranger all the time.
 

That rumor of Judge Mann owning part of the jail was posted on Prisontalk a few years ago. I had my friend check his statement 700
that all public officials have to post; and it didn't show him owning property at the jail; or business with it.....You can check the statements yourself at the Auditors office.
 

Used to say they were all guilty and put ‘em way.
Now, “the DA makes too many arrests” is what you say.

Your turn girlfriend. You know who you are. :o)
 

Nope... they haven't paid up yet. Don't want to blow their cover.
 

We are on moderation now, so your posts will take a bit longer to go up, had the kids from MADD trying to post.
 

Thanks for the post on the Jail land ownership question, we had thought it sounded a bit strange, but just in case wanted to get someones understanding, this is the way citizens communicate and we make sure we keep a close eye on potential situations that may have to be looked at as we clean house in the county.
 

Anyone come up with the answer on the judge Mann retired situation question.

yes their was the case of elder abuse against art & anne newman and they got ripped off by chp poindexter. it was total fraud on poindexters part. old art had a barn full of equipment that had been in the family years and in the end art picked up one truck load of things. poindexter was put on paid leave for about 2 years and he just laughed about being on a paid vacation.
 

The Poindexter case was a screw up from the beginning. What would you expect from an investigator who couldn't even handle being a simple LCSO deputy. Mann never made no such statement. Poindexter is back to work, but he took a transfer out of Lake County after CHP/IA out of Sacramento also cleared him of wrongdoing. What you had was a hyper, out of control DA investigator who's inexperience wasted the taxpayers money.
 

Again as a heads up we are on moderate, as the Maddness idiots tried to bring the site down again. They only got a few posts up and were removed, your post will take a bit longer to go up and other then that all remains the same.
 

It could be that he may have owned the land before it was a jail? Maybe he sold it to the county to build a jail..? Can't imagine where this extensive rumor came from.
 

What are the SO shift times? 7am-3pm 3pm-11pm 11pm-7am?
 

Judge Mann officially retired after 30 years with the county on or about October 1. Because there is no one yet to replace him, he is sitting at the direction of the Administrative Office of the Courts as a temporary judge, basically doing exactly what he did before retirement. The AOC and judicial council (both state agencies) are presently reviewing applicants for his job, one of whom will be appointed to fill out his unexpired term, or until the next general election, whichever comes first. I have heard that they are presently considering three, none of whom presently work for the DA's office or local government. When they have cleared background checks and State Bar input, the governator will make a decision as to who will fill the robe. I hear that one of the three applicants is a female. So the times, they are a-changin'.
 

Sorry, 5:35 but I saw the transcripts and Mann brough up Piondexter's long LE (CHP) career as part of the reason that he was dismissing the case!
 

Nope, you read it wrong. The CHP/IA out of Sacramento even cleared him. Believe me, he was not liked at all in the Clearlake Office. If they could have canned him they would have. Even the lieutenant openly despised him.

You must be the person who was offended by the facts found on the LCSO website. You can't argue stat's and that's it. From 2005 all but only two categories are up. SED took more dope off the street yet Mitchell shut it down, Elder Abuse Unit was handling a lot of cases, but Mitchell shut it down and he can't even get us our basic yearly CPR. Although he can let Garzoli do his helicopter stuff. Don't give me the manpower bull because you and I know Mitchell keeps coming up with these "special assignment" details.

Three candidates for the judgeship huh.........hey, isn't the DA in Mendocino a woman? A friend of mine with the Sheriff's Office told me that he was hoping Andy Blum was one of the candidates.
 

8:51 will never give his name because he is a lair and a coward.
 

liar that is, in case you would miss the point to comment about the typo
 

Oh you poor little boy. I will never give my name just like you will not give yours. Why? Because if you gave your name, I might bring up some mud that you've been involved in.

My side is simple. Mitchell has screwed over so many deputies since I started. I've seen him pick on Tracy, Hoffman, Jones, Ringen, Ostini and Beland. I have no problem watching from the sides and reporting it on this site. I've watched McMahon, Hall, Garzoli and Brown pick on deputies behind their backs. I've watched Perdock's revenge and Garzoli mega super ego. I've seen good cops like Gregore, Clark and Ski make incredible arrests and get no credit from the Sheriff. This is something I've watched Markham do constantly and I respect that.

Look and read carefully. Mitchell has poor, misguided managers. From Perdock's boating abortion to Garzoligate. High crime rate since 2005 and racial/sexual complaints throughout the department. How can anyone what this man as the Sheriff.

What are the SO shift times? 7am-3pm 3pm-11pm 11pm-7am?
 

why?
 

I heard something about them starting back to a 12 hours shift not sure if it has taken effect
 

somewhere over the rainbow
LoveLace is lurking near by
bring papers to court to file
gonna make someones day
 

If they went to 12 hour shifts, it is probably 6 to 6. The ten hour shifts use to be 6am to 4pm, 4pm to 2pm, 8pm to 6am.
 

It's true they are starting back to 12 hour shifts starting February 14th; I don't think 12 hour shifts are a good thing; a deputy should not be allowed to work this many hours at a time; they can become very tired from these long hours that their reflex action becomes slower and I feel this can put them in danger.
It is really not safe for law enforcement to work 12 hour shifts; not a good idea.
 

Did they ever have a 8 hr patrol shift? If so what were the hours?
 

Who remembers LE SO Doug ?? He was a really nice guy; when he quit he told me he couldn't take the politics anymore....Does anyone remember him? What was his last name? He and his wife Sandy had the coffee shop at Cobb...... Doug thanks...
 

I think the last time they had 8 hour shifts was in the mid 90's. Day shift was either 6 to 2 or 8 to 4. Swings were 2 to 10 or 4 to 12. And graves were 10 to 6 or 12 to 8. There was also the shift of 7 to 3, 3 to 11 and 11 to 7.
 

That was Doug Barker. He retired and is living in Oregon.
 

One of his children still lives on Cobb. Doug was here just a month or so ago visiting. He is doing well and is A LOT happier since he left the SO.
 

The SDA took a vote and the majority choose the 12 hour shift. Most of the voters were new deputies that did not work those shifts when we were on them last time. I hated it. If you work night shift and have court, your day is a bust and you most likely will call in sick for the oncoming shift. It is also a nightmare for shift supervisors, especially Night Shift. The deputies want their four days off and seldom take OT unless we beg them. On the other hand, Day Shift OT goes crazy. I think if an audit was done, OT would show to be off the chart when working 12's.

There are a lot of cops that were laid off in the San Diego area and are published in the PORAC news. We also had a lot of applicants from the Fresno area. All Mitchell needs to do is get off his fat ass and use his political skills with the BOS to increase deputies, instead of chasing them off or mismanaging his staff.

I don't remember a Doug on Cobb, but Mike Gregory was a deputy and retired. His last assignment was Boat Patrol. He is currently living on Cobb and very happy to be away from the Sheriff's Office. There was also Doug Harvey and Doug Hooper. Harvey resigned just after making sergeant and moved out of county. Hooper retired and still living in Lakeport.

The only other former deputies that live on Cobb were Derik Navarro and Paul Deshong. We all know what happened to Navarro (Mitchell's "Deputy of the Year"). Deshong resigned and still lives on Cobb.
 

9:56, sounds like you've done a lot of watching and not much doing. At least you admit there are skeletons in your closet which is why you remain nameless. Probably something to do with your lack of credibility. Problem with your allegations is you're believing the hype. There are no substantiated racial or sexual harassment allegations at the department, just politcal mudslinging, poorly thoughtout mudslinging on your hero's part, since it been debunked. I'll bet you got picked on alot. Half the people you mentioned haven't been with the department for many years, how about you get something current.
 

Why don't you ask your fearless leader, Mitchell, to release the EEOC complaint results? Oh that's right, we are just to believe what he says.
 

January 30, 2010 11:11 PM Thanks
 

Oh Thanks, Yes, Doug Barker; glad he's doing well; he'd probably love to read all this stuff.........HAH, yes he would !!! Bet he'd have some stuff to say.
 

Tell everyone you know about this site... tell the media if you have contacts... send this link you everyone... this has to be addressed from outside the county!!!
 

Doug Harvey the Poster Child for inmate mishandling got his a ticket out the door, nive guy but had another side not befitting an SO
 

Lovelace: Might I ask if your group are addressing "its a personnel matter?"
I see no end with bad government and the brain washing,unless this
is clear that to protect the innocent is one thing but to protect
the guilty is another. This is at the core to all this dishonesty,
those in government not knowing how to give you your rights under
the constitution with its a personnel matter as law. So I say again
its useless, to go to all the work removing Mitchell or Hopkins
when the head has not been cut off. I thank you.
 

I will not vote for Mitchell if he refuses to release the EEOC report before March of this year. It shows his failed leadership once again. I can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Maybe we the tax payers need to get some new laws past in sacramento to protect our money from people like Mitchell. The BOS needs to force him to release the report or may I say "the freedom of information acted". How about his failure in the Perdock and Garzoli crimes that he closed his eyes to and protect his little criminal buddies. NO LEADERSHIP AND WE THE PUBLIC CAN'T TRUST MITCHELL TO DO THE RIGHT THING.



"X"
 

P.S. I forget the Doug Harvey crimes that Mitchell covered-up. How about his and Buchholtz bright boys Dave Denton and Jeff Crouch more of his failed leadership to those that have brown on there noses.




"X"
 

7:11 "So I say again its useless, to go to all the work removing Mitchell or Hopkins when the head has not been cut off. Patience James, June is just around the corner.
 

There are no substantiated racial or sexual harassment allegations at the department? Are you living in lala land? Morshed and Rivero have two EEOC complaint on file. What about the photo next to Mitchell's door or the one that was in Garzoli's office?

Half the persons I mentioned are going? Yep, Jones was a lieutant forced to be a sergeant then retired, Tracy wanted to stay another five years but couldn't stand Mitchell, Ringen also wanted to stay but left due to Brown and Mitchell's BS, Beland was fired for telling the truth and he will be back, McMahon is gone and that's great. Clark is gone and that's a shame. But Mitchell, Brown, Ski, Hall, Morshed, Garzoli and your buddy Perdock are still there.


Vote for Rivero and get changes. Do anything else and the incompetence continues.

Post#7:49: You will excuse me, for it has been over eights years trying to get those in this local government to understand that no law supersedes my rights, for to do so abridges and that they need to read the first amendment again. I have tried but can't get around those that would use this local government for themselves over the citizens rights. They receive that privilege and use it for other than what it was intended.I could not find the word except for "its a personnel matter within the first amendment. So they rule us and not the other way around. The dishonest just goes on and its their justification for the status quo. This has been going on for so long but hopefully we can bring it to a head. I thank you.

Sunday morning message from the Lovelace group. James has been bringing up an important point in many of his most recent comments, and we wanted to address those ideas and a few other items. The scope and vision of the totality of what has to happen in our county does indeed go far beyond cutting off the heads of the the two headed corruption snake called Mitchell and Hopkins. This is only the first step. As next week unfolds the public will be notified of the nature and results of some of our efforts to which in these cases we have given no indications of what is being discovered. This is due to the grave concerns for our safety and for others assisting us. We will say that the reports of Mitchell getting edgy, and as some internal SO's have reported "loosing" his marbles and an increasingly paranoid state our a result of these efforts. Though we have mentioned the desire for some to discover who we are, we have not mentioned the intense attempts to "out" us that have been occuring from the inside, thus far we have been able to thwart those efforts. However our real and genuine concerning for our saftey is grave and we have choosen not to revel the nature or intensity of it. We believe sometime next week the public will know the reason for our concerns. James is correct concerning the rest of the snakes body needing to be destroyed after we cut the heads off. Our scope does take this into consideration. One of the first targets will be the BOS, when the investigations underway begin to surface next week the public will be alarmed at what is reveled. Our Board of Supervisors county counsel and many others in our local government have been asleep at the wheel. We do not want to hear about excuses, from these people, the time has come where the positions they hold will be in serious jeopardy as a result of our findings. The following post will discuss our thoughts and overview on the BOS and local government officials.
 

During the course of the past several months we have been watching and tracking the BOS and the component parts of our local government officials and we are not happy. Many of these supervisors gather in groups of "their" people, in campaign meetings or environmental discussions, or sierra club activities, and the list goes on. These various groups pal around touting their own acheivments patting each other on the back while the serious work of corruption goes unchecked. Lovelace is tired of seeing this and we will bring pressure to bear on them. This is exactly like the king and his court eating a fine meal while the castle is under attack but they don't hear or see it. Why? Because they have forgotten about the street, the street at ground level is where we come from, it is where our roots are and we have and will not forget it. Many have. We have supervisors engaged in numerous other activities for their own personel gain or future interests, We estimate that these supervisors work an average at the court house and really conducting ccunty business of 30 hours a week. Time and time again they are "out of town" time and time again we have to remind them what their priorities are. How is it, that a rouge group of citizens coming together in a common cause for the return of our county to us are the ones doing the hard work the dangerous work. While this group of self perceived elite individuals idles away their time on other activities. Always they say the citizens have to do it, the citizens have to do it. We have news for you, you are a citizen, you are no different, you are no smarter, and you are responsible. Your fears of Mitchell has you hamstrung your fears of how people will perceive you holds you back. You try to placate us and it does not fly, we see through it, and it will stop. We know what 60,000 dollars a year should earn us, and we are not getting our monies worth. Period. Messages will be sent out to the supervisors, demands will be made of counsel, and those in office will answer to the citizens of this county. The days of wine and roses is going to end, the King has no clothes yet runs around the public streets touting the fineness of the fabric. We have had enough, James we hope you will be here to assist us in this next phase of accountability, we hope this answers some of your questions, and we hope the rest of you will be there with us.
 

Hey rivero for sheriff, we pulled down you last post will repost later in the day, we want the discussion to be detaied on our last two posts, in less of a generalized view. As always we agreee with your posts, but want the discussion to move in a more detailed direction concerning our last two posts. Thanks
 

Lovelace: With over eight years this old man has stood his ground while all the brighter and smarter has told me I just don't get it. I'm hear to tell you I got it and their one bunch of lying dishonest bureaucrats. I say it plain and clear this is not our government,this is not about "we the people" but about them the bureaucrats. I have stood alone for so long its nice to have some company. I will assure you I'm not some looney tune or town clown but am I pissed? You bet. To have the total system geared to protect the dishonest,other than the honest has shook me to my core believes in our government. This disregards for right because its a personnel matter is only tyranny.Its their way and we the rest can take the highway.Thank you.
 

Being a defendant in court isn’t much fun.
Will it be innocent or guilty, when all said and done?
 

Can you tell us how many people were at the BOS meeting and stepped up to the mic? Was it effective?
 

James, you are not nor have you ever been alone in this. It just seemed like it, but thanks to the Lovelace group help is on the way. The tipping point has been reached and there will be justice.
 

As to post 11:13 the BOS must understand that due to their lack of action and forthright concern for the citizens of this county, the participation at BOS meetings is always going to be less then what one would want. Again we have a situation where it is the BOS going well where are the citizens, when it is their very inaction which causes the public to believe there is no hope, This is the perfect example of being blinded by their own inaction and not understanding why. The public will jump on the bandwagon if they believe action will be taken, otherwise the people will create their own bandwagon and force the non-performers to do the bidding of the public, how could one want to go to the BOS when time and time again, they throw up their hands and say we can do nothing, it is not our area. Lack of public attendance at BOS meetings is a sympton of faulty ineffective leadership, which that same leadership tries to turn back on the public in an antagonistic manner. Sad to say but true, when the student it is the teacher who is at fault the child is not dumb. though this is what the BOS would profess.
 

Last line is "When the student fails the teacher is at fault the child is not dumb"
 

Wouldn't it be interesting if the 11:13 post was a supervisor, you know the ones that say they never look at these blogs, but all of them do. That would be the perfect example of what we are saying. Not that we know it was, but it would not be surprising would it.
 

It is we suspect true, that Mitchell and Hopkins have found it quite easy to minipulate the BOS and other officials in office, it has been for many years quite an easy thing to do for the corruption boys, they have been spinning local government for years now, and the BOS would say oh its the citizens.
 

Can you tell us how many people were at the BOS meeting and stepped up to the mic? Was it effective?
# posted by Anonymous Anonymous : January 31, 2010 11:13 AM <<<<<<If the BOS had the concerns of the public as their primary concern, Then ONE person stepping up to the mic would be enough to get their attention. You can only look to the past to determine if ONE is enough.
 

Does anyone know he/she has suffered retaliation for posting about anyone/anything on this blog?
 

Nobody so far has been retaliated because nobody has put their name on the blog. Beland is used quite often in this blog as an example of what happens when you talk against the department. We heard from Gregore and Andrews,but since they did not talk negatively about the department I would expect no retaliation. Now Lande on the other hand has be retaliated by Mitchell and his goonies.
 

The question post 12:17 is more along the lines that says if someone one could have suffered had they been known. The security of the anonymous postings limits the ability to accurately answer that question. The lovelace group for example, would we suspect be in the bottom of the lake by now. Many have taken a great deal of heat from the local corrupt LE, Gossett is an example of that. MIA is an example of the same thing, so even outwardly yes there is much retailation that has happened. Ringen is another example and we could go on and on, hope that answers the question.
It appears that the "who stepped up to the Mic poster" was a supervisor, since we have received no reply back indicating it was not. Well I guess now someone will say they were not, but at this point it would be hard to believe.

Oh by the way there will be an individual who will go to the Mic at the Tuesday meeting and tell them it is time for them to tell Mitchell and Hopkins to step down, this weeks events may change that a bit, but time will tell, it may become quite obvious to the Board to make that statement, once this information begins to be reveled.
 

The Lovelace group has taken a great deal of heat concerning the anonymous posting process we have in place here and for what some have said are untoward practices of investigation on our part. We maintain the absolute necessity of this model, and in due time it will be seen as the only way which we could have investigated to the level we have without fear of attack. This again is an example of the BOS not recognizing the level of corruption and evil practices employed by the current Mitchell Hopkins organization.
 

Lets see if I get this right.
Mitchell is a good leader because he now has a new crew. Lets look at that. Garzoli and Perdock are still on the payroll. Brown is now a captain, Bauman is still doing the PR stuff plus running the jail. The lead jail commander isn't even in the jail at all. There is still no SED or elder abuse investigator and still no results of the EEOC complaint.

Yep a new crew. A wolf is still a wolf even in sheeps clothing.

Lovelace: Lets not assume the BOS is not aware. How could they not know? They live someplace else? They will use ever trick in the book but they know.Thank you.
 

So what your saying is someone needs to go before the BOS and make this statement? I think there should be several who go before the board. Why is it when the BOS presents awards to the different organizations within the community the room is packed, like the MADD group. Standing room only. You people sit on here and state your cases, can you pack a room like those concerned citizens? This is a challenge to you all. Prove me wrong. Pack the BOS meeting on Tuesday, stand up to the mic and make it known you want the removal of Mitchell and Hopkins. Then I might join your group. But for now, I will continue forming my own opinions. I see no group here, the challenge is will I see you all on Tuesday?
 

Agreed! When Perdock took the stand during trial the room was also packed. Let's pack the room for all the right reasons. I will be there! Hey Jet Ski, Repeat, James, Renee, Nighthawk and Mia, will you all be there to?
 

The reason this statement needs to be made is two fold, it really is just a notification requirement for further action we are taking, if you remember we sent the AG a letter a week ago, and we posted it here the combination of that letter and this "notification" process is part of an overall plan to bring pressure to bear on the BOS. We will be quite happy if a great number of people do go to the BOS to make those statements, it simply is not a requirement in this situation we working on. However we do agree that the time has come for a great number of people to begin bringing pressure to bear on the BOS. As we have already mentioned this pressure is going to increase 10 fold over the coming weeks and the events that take place are going to increase the pressure to a great degree.
 

As we approach 4800 posts there will be a page bump and we will reset and re-post the thread for proper flow.
 

Some of you may have noticed the article in Lake Co. News today essentially an overview of the Grand Jury in this county. All comments on the page are negative concerning all operations of our local grand jury. These people are a total farce, they have never and now do not serve any purpose to the citizens. This is the same group of thugs that work with the Mitchell and Hopkins regime, they have no teeth and no bite a useless entity, no one trusts, and they should be disbanded, I sure hope there is no monies that go into that useless group of no-loads.

Lil Miss Muffet,sat on her Tuffet
eating her curds and whey
along came a spider, sat down beside her
and asked....
WHAT'S IN THE BOWL YOU b****

\gotta admit it is a funny poem
 

For over eight years have stood outside that court house picketing those LLS.
I have been in front of their alter and they have no doubt how I feel about them and this is on tape, I was so upset I made a fool of myself. I will be at the next supervisors meeting. I will be one of those after the first one that has the guts. Second I was kicked out of Hopkins offices because I got so mad there was no complaint form for me to sign and Hopkins would not return my calls. The grand jury is nothing more than a tool for the status quo.One person screaming and no one to hear. Lovelace love you. Thank you. PS I was also asked to leave the parking lot with my signs when county employees had their signs in their vehicles. I put one seven of my life to make change and I'm happy to be with you.
 

Section II(B)(1) Section 14141 imposes vicarious liability on the City for the acts of its officers (pages 31-36). Section 14141(a) clearly states that a "governmental authority" can be liable for "engag[ing] in a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers." Had Congress intended that the City would not be liable for the acts of its officers under § 14141, the statute would have omitted the term "governmental authorities" from § 14141(a) and only made it unlawful for the "agents" or "person[s] acting on behalf of" a governmental authority to engage in a pattern of conduct by law enforcement officers. Instead, the text of the statute makes clear that Congress chose specifically to make governmental bodies liable for "conduct by law enforcement officers" (and the legislative history is not to the contrary).
 

Thank you James and it is your efforts and concern over the years that has kept the dream of a new and corruption free county alive. Many talk few take action. The Lovelace group comes from the ranks of the common man, the ones who watch with frustration the clowns of politics in their circus of in-action and claims of lofty achievments, none of which serve the needs for justice and transparency so missing in our current system. We thank you for you dedication and assistance, and we are sure your efforts will finally pay off. Everyone get to the BOS meeting and demand change.
 

Read the comment posted by Hardware at lakeco news.com regarding the Grand Jury. The Grand jury stopped Mitchells black tie ball.
 

Those that I knew did not give their live for this type of crap that is within this local government. I seek no praise. I have grandchildren and this is not what I would like to leave them. I give my name so that you would know the words I speak is true. I am not the liar,they are. I have wrote the attorney generals office and asked him why I have no rights when there government employees that are malfeasance with their power. The Dinius case has shown just how bad it is. Thank You.
 

I missed something. What's Mitchell's black tie ball?
 

District Supervisor “Says No” To
Illegal Cash Crop!
In another odd bit of logic, Rob stated at his 1st campaign shindig `'I want to examine our priorities and raise the pay of these [sheriffs] deputies even if we must give up something else".
Subject/Summary:
In the summer of 2008, marijuana plants were discovered on property
owned by a member of the Lake County Board of Supervisors.

Procedure/Methodology:
An Ad-Hoc Committee was formed to investigate this matter. The
committee contacted the District Supervisor and scheduled a tour of the
property in question. In August 2008, the committee toured the
property with the District Supervisor. During the tour, the committee
discussed the matter with the District Supervisor and conducted a
question and answer session.

Background and Discussion:
The Grand Jury is charged with investigating all allegations of
inappropriate conduct by elected officials in the County. An additional
criminal investigation was conducted by the Sheriff’s Department that led
to no charges filed against the District Supervisor.
 

To elect Mitchell one must look at his track record. A poor enforcement record since 2005 (from his own records), Perdock, Garzoli, refusal to release the EEOC findings and sexual misconduct only indicates a poor leader. Statistic's are kept for a reason and not just to rate a deputy's conduct. I see that the large increases have lead to no new solutions. Drug offenses are up, but Mitchell still does the same thing, flying for marijuana with no major on street enforcement since SED was disbanded. Statistic's proved it worked, but Mitchell doesn't learn from history.

Revving Up the Central Nervous System
Widespread caffeine use explains a lot about the 20th century.

- Greg Egan


A Nation of Speedfreaks
by Howard Belkamp

Do you shudder at the sight of low-life trailer-trash crankheads driving around in their beat-up Camaros? Do you nod solemnly when Peter Jennings or one of the other big tv news actors presents a piece on how methamphetamine is now the Number One Drug Scourge of the United States? Are you shocked at video footage of police and firefighting personnel in radiation suits removing chemistry lab equipment from innocuous rural dwellings? It's everywhere, isn't it?

Central nervous system stimulation - it feels good. Did you enjoy your coffee this morning? Was it a cup of plain old Joe, or a double latte, or triple mocha? At home? At Starbucks? Did it make you feel motivated, as if you had urgent and important things to do? That your agenda for the day carried great meaning? Well, that's what crank does. No matter how common or sophisticated or snobbish your coffee preference, it's still caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant. A low-grade, chickenshit stimulant compared to methamphetamine - a distant relative, but definitely in the larger family of speed, crank, meth, crystal, ice ...whatever you choose to call it. It might be a good idea to look a bit less condescendingly at those crankers out there, because they're doing the same thing you are, only more so.

More than 30 years ago, in 1967, the Haight-Ashbury hippie scene had already moved from peace, love, brown rice and marijuana to LSD and on to speed. Around the same time, I sat up all night in a New England motel talking with a friend of mine, a drummer in a traveling band from New York. He and all the other band members used diet pills, obtained both legally and illegally, to get through the traveling and the long nights of playing for indifferent drunks in crummy places like Lowell, Massachusetts. They were on speed.

(And of course, so were perhaps millions of housewives who had no clue they were using addictive drugs; it was MEDICINE prescribed by a DOCTOR. This was the exact argument used by another friend's Latvian immigrant mother, when she expressed some concern over her son's marijuana use and he pointed out her little jar of dexedrine tablets.)

Joey, the drummer from New York, had no pretensions about what he was doing. He was using drugs and he liked them. He was Irish, another son of immigrants, and had the Blarney, or gift of gab. The amphetamines merely amplified it. After going on and on about one subject after another, he made a statement that I have remembered clearly all this time: "Before long, this will be a nation of speed freaks." Well. Damn if he wasn't right.

Of all the seemingly unlikely places, Hawaii has one of the worst crank problems in the United States. Unlikely, because one might think extreme stimulation in inappropriate in the constant hot weather, but no. The drug, and people on it, adapt. When freebase (what crack cocaine used to be called) was the stimulant of choice for upper-class Marin County lawyers and such, someone somewhere got the bright idea of converting methamphetamine into a smokable form. This "new" drug, called "ice," took off in Hawaii. It's very easy and convenient for anyone who's either afraid of the needle or considers themselves socially "above" intravenous injection, to smoke the stuff. Back in the 60s the Hell's Angels supplied a lot of speed in Northern California. In Hawaii, it's Asian gangs but it was west coast hippie-type speed-freaks who brought it here in the first place. I have the misfortune of former association with one of them, who is now either in prison or on the lam after having made a batch of bad crank that killed someone.

Do you shudder at the sight of low-life trailer-trash crankheads driving around in their beat-up Camaros? Do you nod solemnly when Peter Jennings or one of the other big tv news actors presents a piece on how methamphetamine is now the Number One Drug Scourge of the United States? Are you shocked at video footage of police and firefighting personnel in radiation suits removing chemistry lab equipment from innocuous rural dwellings? It's everywhere, isn't it?

Central nervous system stimulation - it feels good. Did you enjoy your coffee this morning? Was it a cup of plain old Joe, or a double latte, or triple mocha? At home? At Starbucks? Did it make you feel motivated, as if you had urgent and important things to do? That your agenda for the day carried great meaning? Well, that's what crank does. No matter how common or sophisticated or snobbish your coffee preference, it's still caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant. A low-grade, chickenshit stimulant compared to methamphetamine - a distant relative, but definitely in the larger family of speed, crank, meth, crystal, ice ...whatever you choose to call it. It might be a good idea to look a bit less condescendingly at those crankers out there, because they're doing the same thing you are, only more so.

More than 30 years ago, in 1967, the Haight-Ashbury hippie scene had already moved from peace, love, brown rice and marijuana to LSD and on to speed. Around the same time, I sat up all night in a New England motel talking with a friend of mine, a drummer in a traveling band from New York. He and all the other band members used diet pills, obtained both legally and illegally, to get through the traveling and the long nights of playing for indifferent drunks in crummy places like Lowell, Massachusetts. They were on speed.

(And of course, so were perhaps millions of housewives who had no clue they were using addictive drugs; it was MEDICINE prescribed by a DOCTOR. This was the exact argument used by another friend's Latvian immigrant mother, when she expressed some concern over her son's marijuana use and he pointed out her little jar of dexedrine tablets.)

Mitchell,
When you ran for Sheriff, one of your campaign items was that the Sheriff's Office was to top heavy. You did away with the Captain and lieutenant's rank and made the Chief Deputy positions. Remember during your last All Hands meeting? You told us you care about the deputies and CO's even having sleepless nights thinking about that lonely CO standing watch in a POD in the middle of the night. You once told me that the best thing a supervisor could do is stand up for a wrongfully accused me.

Why would you go and bring back the lieutantents. Now you can't even get one person to run for it.

I remember when you chewed out Bean at the Substation for not talking to you about his shooting. He had the legal right to talk to a representative first, but you yelled at him. After being pulled into the office and told Bean had the right, you walked out but never apologized.

How much more incompetent management issues are we going to hear about. Can you handle another supervisor complaining about you and your management or a deputy complaining that the last promoted sergeant's are harassing the deputies? How much more do we have to put up with until you make a move to correct your mistakes.
 

Garzoli: Crash a helicopter, misappropriation of funds, harass employess etc..
Perdock: Lies to investigators, lies in deposition, etc...
McMahon: Pulls a loaded gun on another deputy and passed out at another deputy's house.
Mitchell:
Won't release the EEOC complaint findings.
Failed to review DEA grant.
Failed to control Garzoli
Failed to act on criminal activity dating back to 2005.


Vote for Rivero and get changes. Do anything else and the incompetence continues.

Post 9:29

Don't you mean test for it or interview for it? Nomination papers for Lt. will be sent out in 10 days.
 

Does it really matter? Hall got it simply after applying because nobody else wanted to work for Mitchell.
 

actually, "criminal behavior" dates much farther back then 2005. As far as I know, try 1996.
 

I don't have that information, so I will not dispute it. I feel the status quo just needs changing. We need more deputies on the street, a management that does not discipline employees based on politics's and 21st century equipment.

What we call Beat 3 consists of North Lakeport, then Hwy-20 from the Mendo County line to the far east end of Lucerne. To have just on deputy handle this is insane. It is the busiest beat in the county.

Management needs to have penalties for using their position for political revenge. Since they are management, their penalty must be harsh. I believe if a manager is found doing this, he/she will be warned only once and a written apology placed in the employees file. A second offense would result in demotion to deputy, not sergeant.

The one equipment that deputies have been screaming for a long time is mobile computers. Due to the terrain this was hard to make happened without a lot of repeaters. Now that cellphone technology has expanded, we should use link into the cellphone sites. This still might be a problem due to the vast dead zones, but around the lakeshore, Hidden Valley and Middletown, this should not be a problem and would relieve dispatch pressure.

This is three areas I would want to change.
 

During the course of the past several months we have been watching and tracking the BOS and the component parts of our local government officials and we are not happy. Many of these supervisors gather in groups of "their" people, in campaign meetings or environmental discussions, or sierra club activities, and the list goes on. These various groups pal around touting their own acheivments patting each other on the back while the serious work of corruption goes unchecked. Lovelace is tired of seeing this and we will bring pressure to bear on them. This is exactly like the king and his court eating a fine meal while the castle is under attack but they don't hear or see it. Why? Because they have forgotten about the street, the street at ground level is where we come from, it is where our roots are and we have and will not forget it. Many have. We have supervisors engaged in numerous other activities for their own personel gain or future interests, We estimate that these supervisors work an average at the court house and really conducting ccunty business of 30 hours a week. Time and time again they are "out of town" time and time again we have to remind them what their priorities are. How is it, that a rouge group of citizens coming together in a common cause for the return of our county to us are the ones doing the hard work the dangerous work. While this group of self perceived elite individuals idles away their time on other activities. Always they say the citizens have to do it, the citizens have to do it. We have news for you, you are a citizen, you are no different, you are no smarter, and you are responsible. Your fears of Mitchell has you hamstrung your fears of how people will perceive you holds you back. You try to placate us and it does not fly, we see through it, and it will stop. We know what 60,000 dollars a year should earn us, and we are not getting our monies worth. Period. Messages will be sent out to the supervisors, demands will be made of counsel, and those in office will answer to the citizens of this county. The days of wine and roses is going to end, the King has no clothes yet runs around the public streets touting the fineness of the fabric. We have had enough, James we hope you will be here to assist us in this next phase of accountability, we hope this answers some of your questions, and we hope the rest of you will be there with us.
 

The letter to the Attorney General refers to nepotism in the local legal system. Has anyone taken a look at the child support office? In that department of about 30 employees you will find Director Gail Woodworth (married to Craig Woodworth the chief investigator in the DA's office and investigating officer for the Dinius trial), Lori Garzoli (yes, you guessed it, married to Dave Garzoli and the star of the clam photo), Joyce Campbell (former deputy DA, Brian Martin's (LCSO) mother, Crystal Martin's (DA Victim Witness) mother-in-law and Judge Martin's ex-wife), Lisa Crane (soon to be Jim Crane's ex-wife) Marsha Chalk (married to Bob Chalk former Clearlake Chief of Police), and until a month or two ago, Denise Hinchcliff (married to chief deputy in the DA's office, Rich Hinchcliff.) That's an awful lot of nepotism and law enforcement in one department.

Yes we are addressing the nepotism issue, the issue is not that in a small county you will not have family connections, the issue lies in the transparency necessary so that collusion does not occur. This is very difficult to accomplish, and when the corruption people get in power all hell breaks loose, the necessity is that it take a huge amount of transparency and oversight to have this much nepotism, without oversight is dangerous. Of course we are seeing the result of this activity on a wide scale in our county. So you are correct post 7:48 it has invaded every aspect of our current government system, and many have let it happen. This is partly why you dont see Anita Grant take any action, this is why the BOS is hesitant to take action, it goes on and on. It must stop, and we must have total transparency in the system.
 

As all of you can see we had another mad poster last night, that is if you go back a few on the page, we are not sure who is the strangest the MADD people or this guy, many know who this guys is, quite ignorant of course, but isn't interesting madd would not claim this guy on their side, but we see madd as the same type of odd and strange individual, we posted a few post from the past to push his multiple post out of the page a bit. We now return you to your regular programming.
 

Good morning. I see someone used my signature mark last night. I do have to say that I agreed with a lot that he said. If you don't mind, please make up your own moniker such as "***Anyone but Mitchell***". Someone used that once and I think it was great.

Mitchell can not work with the public. That has been shown in this blog numerous times from refusing to release the EEOC complaint to not taking any action against Mitchell and Garzoli. Mitchell's management is out of control and is costing the county a lot of money. Mitchell needs to go.

Vote for Rivero and see management run scared. Vote for Mitchell see more mismanagement and incompetence.

I am a deputy with over 10 years with LCSO. All of the shootings I've known of had been investigated by the DA's Office. That included the shootings involving Bean, Martin, CHP in Kelseyville and CLO's and all the Clearlake PD shootings.

POBAR states that a peace officers name can not be released. There is no status that states a Sheriff or Chief can not simply come forward and state the EEOC's investigation is finished and no evidence of racism was found. No names had to be given in that case.

As for Perdock, we have placed persons on Admin Leave in the past for off duty conduct while an IA is conducted. But in Perdock's case, he had a private investigator and a fiberglass worker both enter the Boat Barn to view his boat even after Ostini said no. Perdock then accessed the report when told not to do so. Perdock also stated deputies at the scene misquoted him (basically calling them a lair). Then Perdock blew up on Beland right after the prelim in the middle of the office (yep I was standing next to the back door when that happened). Now this alone does not show a crime, but it should have been investigated. Off duty conduct is covered under the Policy & Procedures.
 

In response to Perdock having access to the reports, the software used by LCSO is called RiMS from Sun Ridge Systems. Just access it from any search engine.

RiMS is a database program that controls reports, statistic's and information. RiMS has the capability to stop anyone but authorized persons from reading a specific report or even an entire section of the RiMS program. For an example; RiMS can be accessed by Lakeport Police and Clearlake Police, but they can not access the reports prepared or stored in RiMS. I see no reason for a correctional officer, correctional sergeant, coroner clerk or even a office clerk to have access to the entire Bismark Dinius report. Have we done this before? Yes. We have had very sensitive reports involving deputies that were locked out to anyone but investigators.

Mitchell seems to have mixed up "Transparency" with "Security". Under his definition of "Transparency" with RiMS, I see no difference from a deputy or a jail guard accessing a case, a journalist or even a private person.
 

A Monday morning note from the Lovelace group, we are asking all concerned citizens, as we have been posting for the last few days, to get to the BOS meeting this Tuesday, we need as many people to step up to the Mic and tell the board, it is time for them to fish or cut bait, they are indicating this is what they are telling Mitchell in regards to his Admin/medical leave employees such as Perdock, well it is time for the board to do the same thing, fish that is make a statement it is time for Mitchell and Hopkins to step down or cut bait, which in their case is, step down yourself if you cant do it. We need your support in this please show up to the BOS meeting tomorrow and make a statement to the BOS.
 

While Perdock and Garzoli are on leave do they keep their badge,gun,keys to the evidence room, Access to RiMS etc? Are they "on call" so to speak? What is Garzoli's connection to the Sheriff"s web site? If Mitchell hasn't filled there positions? are they working from home?
 

A couple of more pieces of information, we had heard reports that another individual aside from Baxter, had pulled papers for the sheriff position, if anyone has infor. on that or who that might be please post, we did not get a name, but was indicated by a in the know former SO. It was described to be a retired SO and or someone local.
 

Another bit of information, was that it was indicated that Mitchell has said that if he were to run and win the election he would return Garzoli to duty. Anyone with information on that please post as well.
 

Quick heads up we are going to add word verification to the comment posting, this is to stop "bot" spam postings. So you will see the typical letters to type in prior to posting, we hope this is ok with everyone.

If there are any problems people encounter with the word verification process please let us know, or any details you would like us to do different. Thanks
 

Lovelace: sorry but need to take my Lady to her doctor in the morning. I had my speech ready to go. Keep us posted and I will be happy to make the next one.Thank you.
 

Okay if anyone does join the race for Sheriff of even DA, will the cops do their debate all over again?
 

Although the Lovelace group cannot revel the total information in regards to the strong admonition on our part to request that all citizens step up at the BOS meeting and make the statement to them that it is time for Mitchell and Hopkins to step down, and they must put forth a no-confidence statement, everyone will soon realize the reasons behind this. We are asking all individuals to attend the BOS meeting and make that statement in a clear and measured voice. You should as well mention in your statement the Lovelace group/sheriff mitchell watch. The credibility of this site and the work we and the citizens have accomplished will be apparent and the opportunity for a clear statement to the BOS is now at hand.
 

James we got your post, be aware you may as well write a quick simple draft to the BOS and drop it off at the BOS office in the court house. Please do so if you can possibly get that done, it as well will be a big help. Again reference the hard work the citizens through our website have been doing. We appreciate you efforts and continued support.
 

This is a portion of a post that came to us all the way back in September. It is very telling, and this individual has contacted us since then, his predictions are uncanny and will prove to totally correct. This person as stated was responsible for part of the model we have gone forward with, and we wish to thank him, for his initial input so many months ago.

Interesting blog, ladies and gentlemen, I live in the far north of this state and have been tracking these types of blogs for nearly a year now. I run a nationwide cop watch organization, we work pretty much under darkness as we find we get much more done that way.

This blog trend is growing 10 fold a month in most states I won't go into the reasons for this right now, but just wanted to give you all my two cents worth. Here it is.

What's happening on this site is very typical as the site begins to unfold, and take its own course.

To those who post as if they are the intelligent ones, in the LE, you in fact have less of a clue then most, you just think you have it figured out.

In closing, who ever the cops have been that have been willing to join this fray, and speak out, you have the power, you are the hero's
trust me I have seen this before, your boss and the powers in place will be going down.
To who ever started this blog, keep up the pressure, don't try to play this game their way, these guys are nastier then you might think despite everything written so far, they are on the inside even worse.

To others posting keep posting I will be watching this, and others as well, we are in a growing police state, keep aware, don't give any ground, archive everything on here and use it. Get it to others!!!!! Use every means at your disposal, I can tell you by the sound of the law inforcement folks on here, you have hit a nerve.
 

Please list BOS names and the address so people who can not attend the meeting because of their work or other responsibilities can write letters to them all. Thanks. (I am presently out of the area...)
 

My oh my was this guy right, we indeed have hit a nerve. Great job everyone.
 

Posted below are the e-mail addresses of the BOS members, flood them witgh e-mails today tonight and in the morning, send them out, send a strong and determined message from the Lovelace group of citizens and the sheriff mitchell watch blog site. Please everyone this is easy to do, send out the e-mails to each and everyone of these people. The e-mail addresses for other county officials is also on the county website. Believe us the time to act is now.

There ya go post 2:36 put the hammer down.
 

Also in your messages let them know the Lovelace group and those citizens associated with sheriff mitchell watch are going to begin to increase their focus on the BOS themselfs, when we are done dispatching with Mitchell and Hopkins, they will come into our sites, and we have been storing up much ammunition.
 

You may be noticing a distinct silence from the corruption supporters over the past 2 days.
 

Actually, I have notice a distinct silence from the corruption supporters since Thursday evening of last week....except for the mad bloger copy & post guy/gal. Hummmmmm, I wonder why?
 

Maybe the blogger needs time to prepare for his questions and answers for Sat. I have a question. 1.Sheriff Mitchell do you have any plans on bringing Russ Perdock back to the sheriffs office? 2. Why haven't you terminated Garzoli for his part in the Garzoligate and charging taxpayers for his flying lessons. That itself is worth his termination isn't it Sheriff Mitchell?
3. Sheriff Mitchell how can you continue to say racial profiling isn't being done when more people continue to say they have or know of racial profiling by the LC Sheriffs office?
4. Why haven't the EEOC findings been released and do they need your approval prior to disclosing the results?

Sheriff Rivero I just want to say I thank you for coming forward and challenging Mitchell, giving the citizens of Lake County a choice in the 2010 election. Hopefully, a new change will happen, we are devoted to making that change and will work diligently to remove the corruption within, we want to retain honest officers not have them leave the area for fear of becoming one of them.
