Just caught a promo for Greta........sounds like it's going to be an interesting program tonight. She said there's a lot of battles being fought in Bolingbrook tonight, with threats of lawsuits, and the police dept, and she held up copies of documents.

 

[Leila]

Greta is interviewing Joel Brodsky. She asked him about the time line - where was DP from 10:00pm on Oct. 28 to 5:00am on Oct. 29. Broadsky said that DP has accounted for where he was during that time to LE. Greta asked why it's such a secret - where was DP? Joel Brodsky declined to give Greta an answer on that stating that it's a police matter. Greta asked Joel Brodsky that if she can get permission from LE to give DP's time line on the air would he come on and give that time line. He agreed.

Evidently, one of the neighbor children took one of the orange cones from in front of DP's house and he's made a police report at 4:51pm. DP said they aren't responding to his complaint. Chief McCury said he sent an officer out after DP complained about the report only being taken over the phone.

The police in Bolingbrook have sent a letter to DP for the return of police property, and have given a time frame for it's return or face theft charges. Chief McCury said that a letter was sent to DP and his attorney on November 26th about the return of police property, and haven't heard back from them. The chief says that DP still has his badge and other police equipment.

Chief McCury said that the police have gone door to door in DP's neighborhood and so far only one person has complained of the media presence.

Chief McCury has thrown down the gauntlet in regards to Joel Brodsky's comments about the background checks and that it's something all policemen do. Chief McCury said he was challanging Joel Brodsky to give him a list of all the police officers who've illegally run background checks on people.

That comment from Brodsky is going to cost Drew P some police supporters. Either they will be worried that Drew P is going to name them for using police databases when they shouldn't have been, or they will be po'd at Drew P for saying they did it when they didn't.

WOW!! Hail to Chief McGury!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Is this guy fairly new to that department? I wonder how long he's known DrewP.

Does anyone have the stats on the BBPD? I wonder how many officers etc there are.

I wonder what the equipment is???

 

[Taximom]

Probably GPS related items! Just guessing. Wonder what the time frame is?

From what I understand Chief McCury is fairly new to the department. He was brought in from Naperville two years ago, I think. We talked about the police department in chat one night and someone said there was about 64 officers, and that figure was taken from a government report.

Here is the Bolinbrook PD webpage. But they don't show pics of their officers or tell how large the department is.

Greta asked what equipment DP has and Chief McCury started to reply stating his badge, and then was interrupted by another comment. I was hoping he would come back to that question, but they went on to other questions.

 

[Taximom]

He's so honorable that he didn't turn in his badge when he retired? What about his gun?!

 

[Liz]

We have heard that Chief McGury was not with BBPD
when Kathleen died in 2004, so he's been there less than 4 years. Right?

You have to turn in your badge when you retire. It belongs to the municipality that issued it to you. However, most cops order a dupe badge from a cop supply shop right before they retire. Looks almost identical, has your shield number on it, and you usually keep it with your retired police ID card. Drew may be carrying such a dupe shield now that he is retired.

 

[Taximom]

If you go to this page you'll find some of their annual financial reports:
http://www.bolingbrook.com/index.php?page_id=50

Go to:
Payroll Report for Fical (sic) Year Ending 4.30.04
and DrewP is on that list (2004) in the "over $75,001" category

According to the 4-30-2006 Annual Financial Report the city had 14 police cars, 1 Chevy van and 1 Ford van. Not sure if the vans are LE's. It also looks like they had 111 employees in Public Safety-Police.

IIRC, two and half years.

Right, JerzWhim. I was commenting regarding the Police Chief apparently responding to Greta that DP hadn't turned his in yet. Since he was interrupted, I guess we don't know that for sure. Did he think he could get away with not turning it in?! What an idiot.

I apologize for not reading that correctly the first time.

So the PD let him retire without turning over his equipment? How lax is this department run?

No worries! :blowkiss:

Did he retire by email?! I don't understand that either. Maybe he thought he'd be arrested right then and there if he did it in person? (for the police misconduct crimes)

Just more of him showing how guilty he really is!

Probably that baton he smacked Kathleen around with right before she died!

IF I understand correctly, Chief McGury didn't want to accept DP's letter of resignation, which was hand delivered by DP's brother, Paul. Guess there wasn't much the Chief could do that Paul didn't bring in Drew's assigned gear; such as his badge, handcuffs, uniforms and whatever else he was issued by the department.

"Bad cop ---- No Doughnut!" :slap:

(No wonder Drew didn't get a doughnut when he was at Krispy Kreme. lol!)
