[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people retire from Law Enforcement and then continue working.[/quote]

A lot of people also retire from the military and then continue working.[/quote]

A lot of people retire from education and then continue working.

This isn’t remotely a problem. [/quote]

[b]The problem is that MoCo recycles people instead of bringing in fresh blood, perspective and experience. We save seats for people and that's not how we should hire[/b]. We did not hire the "best" candidate for the job. We hired someone as an in-county favor.[/quote]

They didn't do that with the Superintendent. And how do you know the MoCo Chief of Police isn't the best qualified? Seems to me that his experience working at MCPD and having deep insights in MoCo communities and neighborhoods are valuable things that he could bring to MCPS. I'm liking both of these hires so far. [/quote]

Deep insights.  
Now what does he do with that information?  Is he going to start reporting everything that comes across his MCPS desk or is he going to cover up like Ed Clarke did?  
Reporting everything is going to make MCPS look bad, but now he will work for them.  [/quote]

Correct. Being former MCPD and then transitioning to MCPS creates an inherent conflict of interest because on the MCPS side, sometimes you have to tell on people who might have failed in their jobs on the MCPD side, and it's hard to do that if some of those people are your friends.

Before people get excited about Marcus Jones, they should really interrogate how Ed Clarke did in the job, as he was also retired MCPD. Hopefully Jones is better and more active and independent, but he could be more of the same.[/quote]
