By the way, seems odd that you have had what 4 installments, plus the original story, and you havent even come close to touching on ANY of the issues brought forward in this discourse. Odd dont you thinik, I mean for a reporter. You seem to ask very few questions.

With more to come.

Smith failed to call the Commander, Cruiser 28, the Watch Commander — neither he nor the officer “forced” to write the PD10 knew what to do — yea, give me a break, LT Smith has been around for decades, has been called to IAD numerous times — he is so full of himself that he just smells… but somehow he always manages to survive… and I bet he is quite familiar with the Lewis List…I know I wouldn’t want him testifying on any of my cases…nor the “officer” involved in this matter… MPDC, Chief Lanier, Commander Greene all owe Captain Gresham an apology… unfortunately he will have to have the Court declare his apology…

BS, thats why no one trust these bums any more!

BS!

Whether he drove his own car or a police car–does it matter? He allegedly forced a subordinate to alter the accident report. Captains can initiate an investigation. I’ve talked to two officers who said they were subjected to his spurred investigations. I plan on posting another follow up item on this matter. I have calls out!

WHERE IS THE FOLLOW UP?

This is pretty fubar.

Maybe he is looking into what the Lewis list is?

Thanks for the update.

1. Lt Smith was off duty at the time of the event — Lt Smith who allegedly witnessed this “gross” misconduct failed to notified IAD (until months later after he, himself became under investigation for another matter.)

2. Lt. Smith allowed a METRO supervisor to enter the 3D officers report writing area to assist the officer in taking the 10-50 report — since when is that allowed????

3. The Metro supervisor refused to be interviewed during the IAD portion of the investigation.

4. 3D commander and assistant commander were notified by Lt SMith the following day of what he allegedly witnessed while in an off duty capacity. But no investigation was conducted until Jan 2008.

5. The Dept’s 90 rule began the moment management knew or should have known — the moment Lt Smith witnessed whatever he claimed to have witnessed began the clock.

6. Lt. Smith’s failure to nitfy IAD was never investigated, his failure to timely notify Commander McCoy was never investigated, his failure to acknowledge that he allowed the METRO supervisor (who was not involved nor on the scene at the time of the accident) inside secure 3D facility to assist the officer in writing his report.

7. The officer has not been sent back to the academy to learn the skills necessary to investigate accidents nor has his sergeant…seeing that Lt. Smith did not trust either the officer or the officer’s supervisor to write a simple side-swipe accident report, no injuries, one POV, one METRO bus…

8. Why is it that LT SMITH is FULL Duty when he could not assist the officer in the report writing, he failed to take appropriate action (if his later story is true) and why is it that he is so STRESSED from a little incident…perhaps he needs to go to the clinic. Let’s not even discuss his credibility issues…….
