Will what work?
How do you prevent conflict of interest within the agency and other employees?
This graduating class was also unique in that two of the graduates were the sons of Sheriff Office employees. Randall Molitor is the son of Corporal James Molitor and Frederick M. Clarke is the son of Cathy Shoemaker, Crime Lab Technician and step-son of Lt. John Shoemaker.
In addition, Graduate William C. Buckler is engaged to St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Station Clerk Karen Black and is the future son-in-law of Captain Terry Black, Commander of Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Congrats To New Graudates!
Same as firefighters to farmers to lawyers to truckers-------children very often follow in parents' footsteps. It is what they are exposed to during their life and it is their interest and passion. GOOD FOR THEM!

Been to NYPD lately....
Unless there is some nepotism law then there is no real problem. I see what could be an appearance of conflicts but that is just an appearance. The fed gov has nepotism laws...thanks to JFK/RFK.

The only problem I have with it is that a "relative" almost always gets picked over a better candidate... Its all about "who you know" in the county... I can't complain to much that's how I got my job, but it's still a crappy system...

NOT Politically Correct!!
........
On average 80% of people hired for jobs nation wide come from referrals by family, friends, or people you network with!

I didn't get it through family, just someone who knew me and was willing to vouch for my work, which was by working with them in the past... So I guess more like a referance... That's in addition to my back ground....

It does not matter. Your complaining about the system that you benefited from. The fact is most of the world works that way. I don't see what the problem be really. If you had a store and had to hire someone you would prob. look for friend or family member to fill it all things being equal from an unknown candidate. So what. I have never seen a study that suggested hiring unknown people is better than hiring someone with "connections".
If you get hired because of your connections in goverment, I have a problem with that. If you get hired because of your qualifications, despite having connections in goverment I don't have any issue with that.
I don't think someone should be excluded from being hired just because they have a relative there, but I don't think they should get a leg up over a more qualified candidate.
It doesn't look like anyone here is saying these guys got hired over someone more qualified, so who cares.

It should work great for families with ethical values who love public service as it does for welfare recipients teaching their kids how to survive a life of government TiT sucking...
Some people learn to serve and protect at their father's knee, others learn to be worthless lazy bastards at their unmarried mother's. It's all about diversity right? :shrug:

I wasn't complaining simply just saying, it sucks how it works out... For example, the people who may want to go into to police force, in a small county as this, its all in who you know.... But a lot of very well known larger companies are going away from the "good ol boy" system... Most HR departments will only take resumes by submitting on-line...
