does anyone know who is actually running this site

[Anonymous]

Just a warning, you never know who could be behind this

[NODOUBT]

I was told that it was an impartial third party. One that did not have anything against either candidate. It is suppose to be very secured. I don't know why anyone would worry anyway. Metts or Harrison is not Big Brother, nor are they above the law.

I would personally would welcome any threats made by anyone on Metts staff against me because I support another candidate. It just shows the kind of people we are talking about. I would not fear any reprecussions.

Everyone has the right to freedom of speech!!

[Anonymous]

I find it hard to believe that a "impartial third Party" would set this up. Whats the motivation? Plus there is no such thing as Freedom of speech when you work at a Sheriffs Dept.

[NODOUBT]

Guess that is what the difference is. I DON'T WORK at the Sheriffs Department.. I really don't care what anyone at the Sheriffs Department thinks and I believe that the person that set this up probably agrees with that.

I am sorry that you feel like you can't express yourself on this forum. It is mean't as an equal opportunity forum without reprecussion for what you write. I don't really know or want to know who the other individuals are on here. I may not agree with them all, but that is what opinion is about. I truly believe you are safe to say what you feel as long as it is not profanity or offensive.

Best of luck.

I wouldn't be so concerned about who put the site up as much as I am about IA (Internal Affairs) running around the Department trying to figure out who we are that are not only making posts but truthful posts. I also find it interesting and a bit troubling that a member of a State agency would be assisting with their efforts, don’t you value your job or are you being offered a bigger, better new one?! Just because you have friends in high places in our Department, be careful that you don't get caught up in there unethical efforts! Remember, the two folks that had been here looking into this website and Harrison’s are gone now, not in the womb of the conspiracy, sort of speaking! It is my hope that someday the Media will catch wind of this and look into all the good old boy crap that goes on here, being forced to contribute campaign money, using Law Enforcement resources designed for criminal investigations to gain info on campaign opponents to include surveillance, running car tags to find out supporters of the opponent (check out NCIC history records!), computer/web investigations, secretaries keeping campaign ledgers and lists of those employees that do/don’t contribute, Deputies transporting the Sheriff around to campaign in their Districts and going to businesses to ask for campaign contributions and Deputies setting up meetings with School’s PTSA groups and Senior classes… all with County employees on County time. It is no wonder we don’t have enough Deputies to answer calls! In the six years (or is it 5 years, seven? IA, I don’t want to make it too easy for you!) I have been in this profession I am seriously disturbed about the direction this Administration has taken. Concerning the future of the Department, leave it to the Voters!

metts even posted in the pelion news letter that he will be out with the RD

Metts, and some other people, just don't get it! Voters are not stupid, you can't go around running for Governor and wanting other positions, ignoring your duties and then when it's an election year come to us and expect that we will forgive and forget. You don't care and now we don't, so finish up your term acting like you do and come election time we'll help you make a career decision. I am sure you will be fine with all the money you should have saved working part time jobs with full time pay! :wink:

You misunderstand what I meant. When web surfers do a web search for "Lexington County" this site "The Friends of Lexington County" shows up as a search result.

The same is true for the search term "Sheriff Metts"

With a total of 3903 Unique visitors so far this month I do not have the desire or TIME to track down who is posting or just lurking on this site.

I find it interesting that this domain name was registered with fictitious information. However that is neither here nor there. From what I have seen the post of people on this site would not amount to anything more than slander. That is assuming that someone would pursue prosecution. The fact is that no internet provider can legally release information about individual’s accounts without a court order. To further that statement it appears that the server which this board is located on is in Texas. I would venture to say that one would have to get a federal judge involved to issue a court order which that provider would honor. Again I could be wrong but I do not believe any federal crimes have been broke by any of the post on this board. If you are interested in the information about the domain name or provider you just need to learn to use 3 tools ping, whois, and ip whois. Google is your friend but it is not worth the time.

Would you set up a open forum like this with your real name?
I honestly thought that people would post stuff about pot holes and speeders but as with just about everything on the internet that deals with free speech you never know what will happen. I use to only check up on this site once or twice a week (sometimes) but when I saw the title of this thread I just had to chime in.

"The fact is that no internet provider can legally release information about individual’s accounts without a court order".

Yep and just think how funny it would be if someone did all that and I turned out to be a 80 year old grandmother of 14 and other posters on here turned out to be 300 pound gay truck drivers named Bubba and Ed. :roll: :shock: :D

I have not doubt that there are all types that post here. It is however amazing that this board which is supposed to be quote "impartial" appeared a very shot time after the same type of board was removed from Harrison’s web site. Now his site revealed the TCP/IP addresses of the posters which showed that employees of the county and other state agencies were posting during business hours. On the Lexington county side that clearly broke the internet policy for appropriate use. I am not saying employees can not post on here as it is there right. However, they should do it on their own time. Since I am not a county employee I think it is my right to ask that they do a days work for a days pay. I would however like to see those bitching about how money is spent and how Lexington County is being run to step up to the plate. I have been to several County Council meetings which had budget items on the agenda where no one opposed the items showed up. County Council is an open forum and will let anyone sign up to talk. If you are sick of it you should get involved. Hell if you can’t speak out because of your employment then get a friend to act as proxy and speak out in your behalf

[Anonymous]

That is why we have elections, Smartguy. I don't work for the county, I don't use a government computer. However, I like hearing what the employees have to say. I would like to encourage them to use their computers to let the rest of know what is going on. This ain't China....rage against the machine!

Two CWs have left and I am sure that things will be given up over time. Do you really think that they will be loyal to you and take any responsiblity for their actions?

I will try to, briefly, answer your question. “CW” in the fascinating world of legal dealings, stands for “Cooperating Witness.” This species should not be confused with confidential source or confidential informant. Oh no, for this is a far scarier creature if you are sitting in the defendants chair. Allow me to explain by way of an analogy (sort of like our friend Hammer Time attempts to do from time to time).

Let’s, just for fun, imagine that Jimmy the Crotch is sitting in his office and using his free hand to surf around on the Internet. Low and behold! He comes upon this website and becomes curious as to who might be behind all this mischief. But how to find out? He hasn’t the skills, but he knows someone who does. He waddles down the hallway to his friend’s office (let’s just call him Dave) and says something like this. “Gee, I have just found a real interesting site on the Internet. Gosh, I’d sure like to know who’s behind it!”

Now Dave is a sharp, ambitious young man and he quickly seizes on the idea that if he finds out who is behind the website that has peaked the interest of the Crotch Doctor he will be in great favor. With visions of a promotion, a better office, and a newer vehicle dancing in his head, he sets about tracking down who is behind the site that has grabbed the interest of the Crotch Doctor.

As Dave is merrily dancing across cyberspace and hacking here and hacking there he barely notices someone, or more than one person, is aware of what he doing at different points in his daily routine. These are the potential “CWs”. The true beauty of a CW is that they, under other circumstances, would hardly be noticed. They are not directly involved in anything; they are merely in a position to make routine observations. That is why they are almost never noticed by the target. They blend into the landscape. Here’s the good part. The reason they are called “confidential witnesses” is because they continue to operate normally while providing information to investigators. Thus, while little Dave is actively sniffing across cyberspace, those who will drop the hammer on him (sorry Hammer Time) may already be giving on-going statements to those who will later prosecute him.

Being informed that the prosecution has secured the testimony of CWs is sort of like having a vicious slobbering pit bull locked onto one’s face. Cases that have CWs hovering in the background are especially troubling to defense lawyers. CWs, unlike informants and sources, are generally honest folk who just happen to be in the right places at the right times. That is why Dave’s lawyer will probably join with the prosecution in prying the puppy off of poor Dave’s face just long enough to allow him to enter a plea of guilty.

But what then, you ask. Well, there’s more. The Crotch Doctor will stare out at the reporters gathered in his office with his beady little narrow set eyes; get a real grip on his private parts, and say, “Dave? Dave who? I think I might have fired a little asshole named Dave a couple of days ago, but I don’t know anybody named Dave. Hey you boys want some shrimp? I just brought some up from Charleston……”

Since they rarely have to be identified in open court, the CWs simply fade back into the woodwork and carry on as before. Life goes on.

And what of poor Dave? Well, let’s just say he’ll be a very special cellmate for the Inmate with the most cigarettes and leave it at that. :shock:

[Anonymous]

Politically things are heating up. It makes one wonder what will happen next.

Let’s look:

Accreditation seems to be a hot topic, I wonder why? The sheriff asked for more money for deputies for courthouse security and does not get it. Could it be the county council has figured out the true cost of Mett’s boondoggle called “Accreditation”? It must be since the need for deputies in the courthouse should not have been a big surprise, or was Metts too busy stocking the department with administrative people and forgot about the need for working deputies?

Certain questions need to be asked; just how many employees have been hired since the quest for “Accreditation” started? How many of these employees were needed to meet the almighty “Accreditation” standards? I wonder what the total salaries of those hired as a direct, or indirect, result of this quest was? To stay “Accredited” you must keep those individuals. I wonder what the collective salary amounts are, based on the years they have been hired?

I do not think it will be too long and those questions will be answered and when they are the tax paying voters will be outraged to know how much money was, and still is, being wasted for a piece of paper called “Nationally Accredited” to hang on the wall and feed Mr. Metts ego.

I guess the one big question is how many call answering uniformed deputies have been added? How many could have been added with the money saved if “Accreditation” had not been sought? It appears with the addition of so many new positions within the sheriff’s department in the past few years that Metts has lost sight of the need for uniformed call answering deputies and has gone for the glitz and glitter of “specialty” units. How many of those he has created in the past 4 years? I know, I know, grants have paid for many of those programs. Who pays for them when the grants phase out? Metts is famous for obtaining grants then sticking the county taxpayers with the bill when the grants run out!

The taxpayers would rather have fewer “specialty” units like the “intel” or “surveillance” people and more uniformed, shift working, call answering deputies.

Of course from what is being leaked out it seems that these specialty units may have some important jobs, like investigating who is posting on public web sites.

Many years ago Metts had the idea of “community oriented policing”. Not a bad concept and it had merit, until the idea turned into another waste of money and excuse to build a top heavy rank structure. That project quickly lost its’ focus and became just a phrase and the new focus was “Accreditation”.

Too bad Metts can’t stick with one idea. His 5 year plan must look like a seismograph readout in southern California. Or does he even have one?

I suspect you will see the usual political tactics from Mr. Metts soon. Appearances on the news, doing the press releases himself rather than allowing Timmy James to be in the spotlight. He will actually show up at the community meetings. Bumper stickers and campaign signs appearing. Closer to the primary you will hear the radio commercials urging you to vote for him and endorsements from his political cronies, and of course his domination of the billboards.

Money does not equate to votes, remember Ed Rivers success in the last election (23% with no effort or cash outlay)? The voters were waiting for a viable candidate and a grass roots effort; it is here.

[Anonymous]

Lee, and all of my Lexington County friends, this not the only waste of our County taxes from the Sheriff’s Department…not by far! But please, let me tell you of one that is going to sneak up on us at any moment. Seems that Metts couldn’t be the head of the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy (SCCJA), so what would our empire building Sheriff do but build his own Academy. That’s right, let’s take taxpayers money and build us an Academy just for our Sheriff. Should it matter that the SCCJA is right across the river on Broad River Road? Oh NO, it is more important that Metts has his own facility. Now don’t worry, Metts is going to get up and tell all of us taxpayers how it is not going to cost us nothing because his good friend and business partner is going to “donate” his property for the betterment of Lexington County. Did I mention that the property is the same property that the “Southern Gentlemen’s Club” was on? That’s right! Seems the "Guys" have sold it and now are just going to give it to the County, OR are they? Now my question is if we got the property FREE, who is going to renovate and remove the “dancers” poles? Is that free too? What about Staff, OH NO, here we go again, more Administrators and Supervisors! I am sure Metts can justify having his own Academy because of State budget cuts but he might want to remember OUR budgets being cut!

Metts, I am going to help you out here, let’s not call this facility an “Academy”, no lets use something that will convince the taxpayers and County Counsel that we are not going to waste THEIR money. Hey, let’s just call it a “Training Facility”, yeah that should do it. Surely they will fall for that! I don’t know what I am worried about I know you will think of something!

Daddy once told me, “Ain’t NOTHING in this world for FREE”. There is always a price, I just wonder what it is going to be, who is going to benefit from it (and I am not talking about the Officers!) and if we can afford it!

Mr. Harrison, I hope you are taking notes.............. :)

[Anonymous]

LEE,
TO ANSWER PART OF YOUR QUESTION, THAT CERTIFICATE COSTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $400,000. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANYONES SALARY. SO ADD THE 15 OR SO PEOPLE WHO THE DEPT MUST HAVE IN ORDER TO BE ACCREDITED, AND THIER SALARY (MAJOR, LIEUTENANT, SERGEANT) YOU'RE LOOKING AT CLOSE TO A MILLION ANNUALLY. THERE'S NO GRANT MONEY PAYING FOR THAT EITHER....

[Anonymous]

outside of a piece of paper on the wall, what does acrediation get the s

ok, so who approves his budget? does he have a free hand at deciding where the funds go or does the (ha) council get to have input? if they do not have input why not? after all, the tax payers fund the budget. or did he pull the wool over their eyes.
yes time for a change, in more than one area.

[Anonymous]

This website has got me rolling on the floor!! My first time here. I use to work at the sheriff's department and I still have friends there that I speak to regularly.

Despite my feelings for or against the current sheriff, you should know some facts. The accredidation does not cost $400,000 and there is no one at the department that does just accredidation. I was one of the people that helped the department get it. There was a guy that the sheriff hired to start it but now he is doing other things.

Most of the forward thinking departments are accredided. Like SLED, Highway Patrol, Charleston, Greenville, Spartanburg, Columbia etc. Really most all of the larger departments are accredited (except Richland County..... need I say more). Try looking at there website and see who in SC is accredited www.calea.org See that it cost lesss than a police car. That is where I found it.

The deputies got a lot from accredidation like a new policy manual that was in English. We got to carry pistol carbines in our cars, prisoner cages in all are cars, etc. Alotta people didn't like it because it got rid of alot of the good ole' boy system in promotions and who they hired. From what I am told they have better road supervisors now then before when I was there.

And cmon.. the training at the state academy has been terrible. If Jimmy is going to start an academy, the only ones that will benefit are the deputies. I talked last week to someone there and they said the building is the old club near the airport on Lake Dogwood. The airport actually owns the property now and is letting the sheriff use it.

Like I said, despite my feelings about the sheriff, people should not trash the deputies, training staff, or anyone else. They are all good people.

PLEASE! Glen220 has more education, and attitude, than is presented HERE!Try another Username, maybe CAR1!

[Anonymous]

Well, Glen220, since you had a hand in the accreditation, I can see why you find all of this so humorous. The joke really is on us when it comes to accreditation. As for Richland County, it might be that he who laughs last laughs best. Another old adage that applies is that “a fool and his money are soon parted.”

CALEA is a private club. Nothing more. The only thing that you absolutely have to be able to do to be accredited is pay for it. You don’t just pay for it once. CALEA comes around every now and then for an “inspection” and another payment. I am willing to bet that nobody knows how much that certificate really costs.

You point to the accredited departments in South Carolina as an indication that it is the thing that “forward thinking” departments do. Well, if accreditation is such a mark of distinction then why have such an array of departments been able to achieve it? The answer is simple; they wrote a check and bought it.

CALEA is a business and they are in it to make money. I can’t find any reference to departments that have pursued accreditation and failed to achieve it. Likewise, I can’t find a single instance where CALEA “inspected” a department and failed to pass it. Once the check clears you are in like Flynn.

As you wrote yourself, Glen220, the Sheriff hired some one to get the accreditation accomplished, but now it’s something that is barely a part time concern. Boy! That accreditation stuff really keeps them on their toes over on Gibson Road. It’s just a logo on a business card and an expensive joke and the joke is on us.

What benefits does CALEA accreditation promise? According to their web page, they don’t guarantee anything. They do mention that you might save a little on insurance and get a little protection from civil liability, but that’s about it. The truth is they can not point to a single instance where being accredited has prevented, or been the deciding factor, in a law suit. They can not point to a single success story, where they can claim credit, for anything. If they could it would be all over their web page.

CALEA is a club and its sole purpose for existing is to make Chiefs and Sheriffs look good and appear competent. That’s all.

The deputies at the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department never got a damn thing from being accredited by CALEA. It just wasn’t important for them to have policy and procedure manuals written in English, pistol carbines (whatever the hell that is), and prisoner cages in their cars until Jimmy the Crotch decided he wanted to join the CALEA club. The willingness, on the part of the county, to provide deputies with the things they need to safely do their jobs has always been present. It was Jimmy the Crotch who was in the dark. Had the opportunity to get a “swell lapel pin” not come along he might never have figured it out.

Turning back to the CALEA web page what do we see most prominently displayed? Lo and behold! It is the “Triple Crown” club. You know what? If you have a laboratory facility or a training facility in your department, they can be accredited, too! If you write just a couple of more checks, you can be a member of the prestigious and coveted “Triple Crown Club.” You don’t have to be a psychic to see where all this is leading Jimmy the Crotch’s ego and our wallets. Straight to an abandoned tity bar and the county check book. No wonder he hasn’t been able to concentrate on the number of deputies he needs for the new courthouse!

If you want to roll around the floor in hysterical laughter, like Glen220, then wander on over to the CALEA website at www.calea.org and have a look at the agenda for the CALEA conference in Pasadena, California. It’s a combination of fluff and CALEA merchandising. They offer a series of brief presentations on things like “WMD”, “Hate Crimes”, and “The Good Supervisor.” The CALEA store, however, is open all day. The only hardcore meetings are “invitation only” for the assessors. Those are the guys who pick up and deposit the checks. Their meeting will be the only one that counts; and you can take that to the bank.

[Anonymous]

Glen220, I must have missed it! NO where in these postings has there been any "trashing" of the Deputies! Maybe, that's the impression you would like to give. I wonder why?

[Anonymous]

You are exactly right DVM, Well said.

Glen220, you stated that now we have a fair promtional process. Thats a good one, If you are from Cayce PD then you have a chance, but for us that have been there for any length of time get looked over. You also said we finally got some supervisors that are worth something. Well glen220 I guess you are insulting yourself since you were a capt for gods sake. The supervisors are the same ones when you left, maybe just a few have changed. I guess know one from cayce needs a supervisors job.
Glen220 you were a R.O.D. you where part of the good ole boy click. Oh and one more thing you are right, i am sorry. We do have better supervisors now, because when you were there Capt. wasnt 2 of them fired for sitting at there house when they were supposed to be working?? and didnt they work for you??? Hmmmm I guess they were just leading by example....

[Anonymous]

Wait a minute. The training at the SCCJA is terrible? I thought DPS was an acredited agency? What happend, Glen220? :oops:

[Anonymous]

GLEN220....
LET ME JUST SAY THIS SINCE I AM THE ONE WHO PUT THE $400,000 PRICE TAG ON ACCREDITATION. ONE OF YOUR FELLOW CAPTAINS (GARY MORGAN) WHEN HE WAS THERE WAS MY SOURCE OF INFO. ALTHOUGH HE HAS MOVED ON TO GREENER PASTURES SINCE, HE WAS ALSO PART OF THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS. MAYBE HE WASN'T CLEAR ON IT BUT I FIGURE IT EITHER COSTS $400,000 LIKE HE SAID, OR THAT'S HOW MUCH IT COST LCSD TO GET THEIR SH*T TOGETHER TO PASS CALEA STANDARDS. WHEN I SAY THAT, I MEAN PROVIDING CAGES THAT THE CARS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD ANYWAY. ALL WE NEED IS ANOTHER KNEE JERK REACTION AFTER SOMEONE GETS HURT. PISTOL CARBINES...WHATEVER. I'M SURE YOU WERE GLAD TO HAVE THAT ONE PASSED SO YOU AND CLAIRE COULD JUSTIFY ALL THOSE HOURS AT THE RANGE TOGETHER. SO, IN CLOSING $400,000 OR $1, IT HASN'T MADE A DIMES WORTH OF DIFFERENCE.

Yeah, I know what ya mean. Schools her need sum help..help I say. Now I'm not a schooled man...just a farmer from Batesburg. And that there sheriff aint always treated the folk down here right. I am a self made millyonair and I aint gone to no college. Metts got more letters after his name - what does all that alfabet soup mean?

My point is this - we dont need no acredidashun. My chickens aint acredided and they look just fine on the plate at Shealys.

In fact, I don't see why hospitals need to be acredidated. We got good care when the doctors used to come to our home. The wadent acredidated. Now I hear old Hodges on TV running for governer. He said he got more teachers nationaly acredidated since he has had office than in history of acredidashun. Now c'mon - our schools r doin better. I herd on the TV that our scores are now 48th in the USA instead of 49. We don't need acredidashun.

Why r colleges acredidated? I aint never been there and I'm doin just fine. You know that reminds me of a story I once told at county council - my friends and I were siitin around a fire hole in one of those hot summer days and a wild boar ran by us. I said "that there is a boar not a chicken and we gotta get those chickens back in the coop befer it gets dark".

Colleges dont need to be acredided. I don't care if Doc Shumpert comes from an acredidated school er not. and I don't care if hospitals r accrdidated or if our schools and teachers r accredidated - and Jimmy - just cause all the other big police r accredidated don't mean we need to be. Richland County ain't.

Ole Sheriff Lott is a good man - Years ago I use to come home from the fields and watch that Miami Vice. I also like that show One Adam Twelve - I bet they weren't accredidated. You know we need to get back to the times when Sheriff Andy ran Mayberry. Lets shun accredidashun.

In two days tomorrow will be yesterday.

[Anonymous]

Hold on thar Roy! Don't you go buyin' no pig in a poke! Cause if you plunk down your hard enarned nickles and dimes for that thar CALEA accredidashun that would be zackly whut you would be a doin'. Them doctors an schools an teachers and what all have to do all sorts of stuff to get their engraved paper certificates. An ifin' they don't do right, somebody comes along an snatches it back! It can even happen to them lawyers! That CALEA thang ain't nothin' like that. You give 'em a little cash and you gonna get that certificate and they don't bother you no more unless you don't give em a little more cash.

You know ,Roy, ever now an then they catch some rascal what has diplomas hangin' all over his walls and it turns out he ain't never been to no school at all. All he did was send some money to what they call a "diploma mill." You have to be a might careful about what kind of stock you put into which kind o' paper. Holding a real University accredadshun upside a CALEA accredidashun is sort of like puttin' a jack ass upside a new John Deere.

But Roy, when you're right, you 're right. That Richland County ain't got no accredidashun. An neither does the FBI or the Secret Service. But you know what most of them accredaded departments do have, Roy? They got them labor Unions........I guess ifin' its good enough for them it ought be good enough for our'n. Don't you think?

Be on the keen eye when it comes to your chickens, Roy. That Sheriff ain't got no use for folks over in Batesburg and he is a chicken chokin' fiend. I wouldn't let him near my hen house and I sure wouldn't buy no pig in a poke from him.

Just to let you know Anna Belle is right, she is responsible for this web site, but what you have to be careful of is to post from your own computer. Lex-Co's computer room tracks every keystoke. Trust me I know.

Everytime you log on, everytime you go out on a web site, eveything you do on the county's computer. This has not always been in all departments, but they are watching closer.

There is nothing Lex-Co can do if you put your thoughts on any subject posted or post your own, but if you do it on your work computer you may want to think about it. May not turn into anything, may be your turn.

Just FYI. I was working on my computer and my mouse started moving by itself. It was our computer room looking in. No prob here ! Look all you want.
