IL - Lt. Charles 'Joe' Gliniewicz, 52, found dead, Fox Lake, 1 Sep 2015 - #5

GoldStar Securities Services is the company I believe FLPD used.

The Town Boards Payment Approval Report clearly says Gold Shield Detective Age... Investigative Services 9/22/2015 for $25,020

I am not sure where the GoldStar came into this.

I was wrong. MSM or a post said GoldStar. There is both a GoldStar and a Gold Shield Detective Agency.

The one mentioned in Walkers accounting info link is Gold Shield Detective Agency, they are currently listed as active in Bloomingdale IL (just south of Roselle IL)

Well, you answered my question, indirectly. I was wondering who that was when I browsing through the agenda packet. He was in attendance with Filenko, Covelli and the bunch on September 22nd executive meeting to discuss litigation.

View attachment 82876

Okay so that is him.
I am suspicious that he has deep ties to local PDs.

From a description of him over at Protege Confidential which is another investigative firm.
Also I believe Jimmy has a previous business under the name Gold Shield Investigations in Roselle which didn't renew their license in 1999.
Gold Shield Det Agency was founded in 2007 out of Bloomingdale which is next to Roselle.

Jimmy has over 30 years of law enforcement experience, having served as a police officer and investigator in the United States Army and as a member of local police department, raising through the ranks, serving as a police officer, detective commander, watch commander and he currently holds the rank of Deputy Chief of Police. Jimmy has been a licensed private investigator for over 15 years successfully serving clients on a number of cases both civil and criminal. He is a certified accident reconstruction specialist who has been qualified to give expert testimony.

Jimmy is a graduate of the Northwestern Center for Public Safety, school of Police Staff and Command (75th Class) and also the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Academy (179th Session). He currently holds a position on the National Academy Northern Illinois Division governing board.

FLPD officer Federly is supposedly the next in command with the Explorers. Why would he be unwilling to take the lead? That could be another angle here. He might not want to be the lead because he knows about the investigation and doesn't want anything to do with it. Or he too may not be allowed to be the leader and was being removed just like Gliniewicz.

How do we know he is unwilling to take the lead? How do we know he 'was being removed. just like Lt G was?' Do we even know that the Lt was being forced out? I think it is a bit unfair to throw shade on Federly with no evidence at all.

I either read or saw Gold Shield, too. Was it the wgn video? Seems like I heard it.

But he hd not even turned in his resignation yet. So how can anyone say he had left them without the proper preparations?

Because his wife, mayor and everyone said he was planning to retire soon. So if he was then why didn't he do his duty for his successor?

What is the reason to be concerned over Jimmy Lee?

The 52-year-old officer planned to retire last month, but the police chief asked him to stay one extra month to help out, Ahern said.

Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmit said Gliniewicz had planned to retire at the end of the year but pushed it up to the end of September.

Gliniewicz planned to retire last month, Chicago TV station WMAQ reported. But the police chief asked him to stay one more month to help out.

Gliniewicz planned to retire in August, but he was asked to stay on for another month.

Was he asked to stay on for the internal investigation or was he asked to stay on for patrol? This is getting weird.

You spend enough time around good old boys and you start to wonder why an Illinois PD is hiring and Ex-chief to investigate their problems with their own PD.
Especially if he is meeting with Filenko....

It is just a hunch I always have. I dislike seeing them investigate their own when ever I see a case.

Maybe he thought he had the rest of the month? Maybe he didn't expect to get murdered?

It was Gold Shield. Said on WGN video from this morning. I just re-listened JMO

He had plenty of time to make those preparations. And for all we know, he had already begun talking to others about that. He had spoken to the mayor about it the day before.

 

[bluesneakers]

KD23. Makes sense. But he would have struggled with a cop he knew he was about to snitch on. Plus who snitches on the last month.

Plus wouldn't he wear a wire and meet somewhere in a public setting. So imo. If that was actually LT talking to dispatch. Then I still would say suicide. Jmo. But your theory is definitely still plausible at the moment.

And struggled enough there would be evidence of the struggle.

 

[DexterMorgan]

If you're retired or quit; Then by all means start and run a P.I firm. But if you still are employed as a Leo or LE official. Then I think it is unethical to do private investigator services at the same time. An investigator is different than a pt bouncer or bodyguard or driver.

A leo or chief who is also a p.i is a conflict of interest in my book and should be in the court of law. You shouldn't be able to have access and carte blanch to all LE insider privileges while running your own separate entities while also getting awarded contracts for the county or town.

That's like Dick Cheney agreeing to war which helped his Haliburton company to gain the no bid contracts. Jmo

Go back and read what Bayless said. Does that sound like the program was progressing the way it should have all along?
It doesn't to me.

I agree
H may be retired from Roselle now but he was definitely running this agency for several years as Dep Chief...

I don't know how Illinois does it but moonlighting is often not allowed or requires quite a bit of discussion before it is allowed in many Police Departments for this very reason.

Agree. Being a dep chief while running a p.i firm is like insider trading. I wonder if he was handed out contracts to his own business while being a active LE official.

It doesn't to me.

There have been accusations here that Lt G was negligent in making sure the program continued when he retired. I don't see anything to show that in this article:

http://my.chicagotribune.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-84689160/

Here is what I see:

"After his death, Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmit said Gliniewicz had talked about retiring but wanted to make sure he could continue to mentor kids through the program."

That looks to me like he was making preparations for the program.

And here is what Bayless said:

Fox Lake village spokesman Dave Bayless said the post remains active but has been secured as part of the village's ongoing review of police assets, equipment and vehicles.

In September, village officials released a statement saying that at the time of Gliniewicz's death, Fox Lake had been in the process of conducting an "inventory review" of police department procedures and equipment following former Chief Michael Behan's retirement Aug. 28.

Behan had announced his retirement shortly after he was placed on paid leave as part of an internal investigation into how police handled a December 2014 arrest. The review was "standard and considered a best practice" as part of a change in leadership, village officials said in the statement.

Although the Explorer program is currently still running, the village is reassessing it, Bayless said.

"The entire program is being looked at in terms of its structure, its mission goals and how the program can serve as a valuable asset for youth going forward," Bayless said.

The police department audit is ongoing and is taking longer than village officials had expected, Bayless said.

The village was in contact with the Boy Scouts of America leadership late last week regarding the program's future and its leadership going forward, Bayles said.




How does anything he said prove that Lt G was negligent?
