His task force supervision for not dealing with the problem and telling the Sheriff what was really going on....
Just how did Matt get the position at the task force? No one wanted it and they had to provide a warm body to continue getting the grants and funding.... Thus a young inexperienced deputy was placed into the position with no formal and practical criminal investigation skills.... The best SD members the county ever had on the task force all had experience working in the Criminal Investigation Section and many years under their belts.... Experience candidates bought with them street skills, education, life skills, people skills, a vast knowledge of street criminals and practical application skills....
The drug task force is a joint operation that requires all members to put differences aside and work together.... Do officers from both departments think Marty pulling Matt and putting him in a office at the CJC was a smart move, no it wasn't! Just because he claims to be working with ISP on cases doesn't mean he is doing his job.
The drug task force was designed to work with multiple agencies, in a universal office and just because KPD is dysfunctional at this point the Task force still needs to be a team to get the job done....
Sure the administrators at KPD, Mayors office and HCSD are not going to say something about the county's assigned person, the controversy and bad blood he has created.... A rule of thumb is and has been not to speak badly of another agency....
If the public would like the truth about the dysfunctional task force and the county appointee to the task force just talk to the officers at both agencies. They are the ones who have worked with him in the past and present.... Some of the things they will tell you will shock and boggle the mind!!!!
I just cant help but wondering if the CI was given a tape recorder by another officer what would she have taped Roberson saying about KPD, the players mentioned in the paper and his own department.... The general opinion is Roberson needs put back in uniform, put back on the street patrolling and the task force need re-done with ALL members (city and county) having to take yearly drug tests.... As long as there is no accountability the task force will remain in a tailspin....
