Deputies From Calvert Co. F.O.P. Lodge #109 Endorses Joey McKenny!!

[DunkirkDogg]

I've seen plenty of mud slingging about Evans by the McKenny camp in this thread. How about telling us what McKinney plans to do different? What are his qualifications for the position? I have read nothing in here that states what he plans to do to make things better. When is the McKenny camp going to come out with something positive about their candidate?

If your only reading things about the Sheriff's election in this forum then that’s a problem right there. One of the first things he is going to do is put more Deputies on the road patrolling you neighborhoods and communities instead of in all of the specialty positions that the current Sheriff has created. He’s going to make sure that law enforcement is just as concerned with preventing crime in the county as they are with writing tickets and warnings. Under the current administration this is not the case. He plans on beginning a volunteer police program for retired police officers to use at events where traffic direction or minor police activity is needed instead of having to use a Deputy on overtime that’s not needed. He going to work hard with the Board of Education to ensure the safety of our kids at school and continue the D.A.R.E. programs in schools. He will also work closely with the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office to ensure professionalism and accountability throughout the Sheriff’s Office. Accountability within the Sheriff’s Office now only pertains to the employees that are not close friends with the Sheriff.

HOW is he going to do those things? Where's he getting the money for this?

The Sheriff’s Office already has the personnel to put more people on road patrol, but the current Sheriff has chosen to create specially positions for people that require them to work Monday thru Friday during the day and not on our roads patrolling communities. Sheriff Evans states in the paper he has hired 17 new Deputies since he has been in office, but he has created 16 new specialty positions which leaves only one Deputy for our road division in four years in office. I feel this is a mismanagement of personnel.

No, I read plenty of other threads but I don't see what that has to do with my question. It strikes me as odd how you are going about promoting your candidate I must say. One would think you have something personal to gain from his appointment if he does get the job - but maybe that is just me. As far as the rest goes... I have read in DACCA his intentions. His outlook was pretty much the same as the other candidates before the primary. What makes McKenny the better choice? I just don't see it. Almost as if it is a no win situation with either candidate. I think I just won't vote for either.

I'm just trying to figure out who the d*ckless wonder is who left
me unsigned red karma for having a McKenny sign in my front yard.
Obviously someone who has had interest in this thread today
and who opposes McKenny !
Any Clues?

Did not have enough do-dads to sign their karma !

Fair enough. McKenny, unlike his opponent, was a Calvert County Deputy. Since his retirement from the Sheriff's Department, he has run a small successful small business. Here's what he plans to do to make things better: First, he'll BALANCE the need for traffic enforcement with the need to put Deputies back in the neighborhoods. Sheriff Evans was a State Trooper and he has concentrated his entire effort on traffic enforcement. Not that traffic enforcement is not important, but Evans did this at the expense of patrol. The result is a 19.6% increase in crime last year. The sad fact is that, even though he has focused on traffic enforcement, traffic fatalities in Calvert have actually increased under his administration. Evans seems to think that the crimes that have increased (vandalism, thefts from vehicles, etc) are not major crimes so they really don't matter. This is where his strategy has failed. When Rudy Giuliani became Mayor of New York City, he immediately focused on reducing crime. He attacked the crime problem by implementing the "broken windows" theory of crime prevention. The premise is that the criminals who commit minor crimes (broken windows) are the same criminals who eventually commit major crimes. By stopping vandals, you prevent major crimes from occuring at a later date. Mr. McKenny says that he will focus his efforts in this manner to bring the crime rate back down to the level that we are accustomed to in Calvert County. By vigorously patrolling neighborhoods and showing a strong presence, the people who are committing these minor crimes will either be deterred, or will be caught before they move on to major crimes. That is my understanding of Mr. McKenny's plan. Whether it will work or not remains to be seen, but it's more than Sheriff Evans has offered us over the past 4 years. That is why I am supporting Mr. McKenny and I hope that you will too.

I too along with many others voted for Joey, it's ashame that the good ole boy mentality is still alive and kicking in Calvert unlike St.Marys and Charles who had enough. I was in a polling place last night listening to the comments in the lines, people vote because of name not because of achievements or past experiences, this is especially true with the elderly within the county. Joey, you gave it your best and I for one am proud to have voted for you.

One good ole boy just beat out the other. The McKenny family has plenty of ties too. I'm sorry to see Evans in office for another four years as well but either way it was going to be a good ole boy. I don't know much about Coffee in Charles but Cameron fits the mold as well... as did Zylak and Davis.

LOL the funny thing is that if the damn idiot judges started putting the repeat offenders in jail instead of letting them get these easy peasy plea deals crime in the county would drop I think. I know of a few people that seem to have golden horse shoes up their butts.

There have been a rash of bad accidents.
