[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Police officers are eligible for retirement after 25 years of service, so if you started right out of college, you'd be under age 50 when you retire. No surprise many start another career. The securty head at a private where our DS used to go was a former cop.

I think it's a great fit for the job -- he knows the county, he knows crime, and he knows the officers.[/quote]

It is a conflict of interest to have someone who is former MCPD to serve in a role in MCPS where he might have to be adversarial or critical of MCPD, or vice versa where MCPD needs to be critical of MCPS, but won't because their former boss will get the blowback if they do.[/quote]

It would be a conflict of interest to hold both positions at the same time, not to hold them consecutively. [/quote]

If you think Yamada, as the new MCPD police chief, won’t be hesitant to throw his former boss, Marcus Jones, under the bus as head of security at MCPS, then I think you have a weak understanding of how human relationships work.[/quote]

So much speculation.

Perhaps that’s how you relate with others. That’s certainly not how I do.

[b]There is at least one poster here (possibly two) who have nothing to contribute other than some ingrained hatred toward anybody associated with MCPD[/b].

But clearly there are those of us who see this as good news for MCPS, and I’m glad somebody with experience and knowledge of the county will be at the helm of school security. [/quote]

Not really. The reality is you are unwilling or incapable of thinking critically about the choice MCPS is made. You lack an understanding of the power dynamics and how the two agencies have covered or collaborated in the past.

For some reason, you feel a need to defend the choice MCPS aggressively. I don’t know why.

But those of us who have inside knowledge, firsthand experience and a real understanding of why organizations should and do have policies that avoid the kinds of conflicts of interest that MoCo government agencies seem to run roughshod over will continue to point out the problems with this hire. Live with it.

DP. Frankly, I think you use "conflict of interest" and "corruption" far too liberally to the point that they lose all meaning. [/quote]

What’s your definition of those terms and why is your interpretation the most credible and authoritative one and why does your  interpretation of those terms not apply to this choice by MCPS?[/quote]

Omg. Just look them up. I don't know why it's so important to you that I agree with you. Lol
[/quote]

I don't need to agree with you. But you accused me of using the terms "far too liberally" so defend your claim.[/quote]
