Would any of you county guys want to work with Roberson back on the street in a uniform? The few times I remember him working the street he wasn't very good as a patrolman. Its common knowledge he only got the DTF position because nobody else wanted it. Probably not a good idea for him to hit the streets again but where do you put a guy like that? I'm glad he works for the sheriff and not us. We have enough problem children like him at KPD.

Read this thread The Howard County Drug Task Force, the Sheriff, the Mayor, and the Kokomo Tribune which goes hand and hand with your post and feelings....Catty

Are you serious? The man spent more time driving around lost in the county than he did chasing skirts.

The last I knew Bobby Salinas was running the unit, personally I like him and think he can do a good job if the mess is cleaned up.... But keep in mind that the leadership is only as good as the Mayor and Chief will let it be.... In other words the Chief has control of the unit and the decisions he makes have to be followed according to the rules and regulations...

The only prudent thing for the county to do since there is so much bad blood between Roberson and KPD is to replace him and put him back on the street in uniform.... The Sheriff needs to become more involved in the administrative control of the drug unit rather than sitting in his office pouting.... KPD officers have made it very clear they don't want him back...

The Sheriff needs to begin a process of reviewing potential candidates for the task force and make a selection based on skills, experience and credibility.... As I said before Roberson was put in the position because no one else wanted it....

The drug unit at one time was considered a elite operation with only the best qualified officers selected.... It used to be a honor to be part of the unit.... Currently no one shows interest because the standards bar has sunk to a new all time low and the bar is laying on the ground.... The only hope to re-gain credibility is for the Sheriff to stand his ground with the Chief and new guidelines for the Drug task force be established.... To keep the unit clean annual drug tests should be done and the members progress review reguraly.... This unit isn't a free ride as a few believe it is.... Its dangerous, thankless work that only a handful are capable of doing.... Catty

The county officers are saying that they dont want him back on the street.

Thats pretty bad when no body wants him.

Since when was a law enforcement agency supposed to be run by majority vote?

If you had to work with him you would understand why nobody else wants to.

ROBO FOR SHERRIFF IN 2010!!!!U have to ask yourself is he really any worse than Marty???




Sincerly, Chris Sutton

Its pretty clear KPD cant stand him and the SD said he was worthless when he was there. Id say their opinions mean a lot since these are the people who had to work with him and know how he is.
