Discovering Corruption

BackgroundThree times early this year, the Ludington Torch (LT) requested body cam footage of three separate incidents where the individuals involved or the available public record indicated that the Ludington Police Department (LPD) had violated the rights of the public quite explicitly and often with unnecessary violence. The former city manager (until a former police chief became mayor) and former police chief had a commitment to transparency, offering up such footage to the LT for 13 of 13…See More

"If nothing in the standing supervisor contract suggests that they must work 40 hours (as indicated by a trustee) and only must only be a full-time employee, then 35 hours satisfies that requirement.  Otherwise, I would hope that the trustees…"

X, I am unable to edit my comments and cannot attach a photo or video to my comments. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's has something to do with the forum. Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem.

Louise, in the upper right corner of the main page you will see your name and an "inbox (1 new)" link under it.  Click on that and you'll see a message from me.  Click on that, and then reply in that same space.  This will be private messaging between you and me.  I will use my resources to try and verify your claims; our sheriff's office is remarkably cloaked in secrecy (more so than the COL) since KIm Cole assumed the position of sheriff.

Sure hope to hear these names! Bullies need exposed!

I’m not sure how to message you, other than this way...sorry not good with computers. I have no evidence or proof. I’m sorry I wish I knew how to verify the claims all I can tell you is the names of the officers I heard about

Ive heard that a local corrections officer got fired for sleeping with an inmate while on duty and another got fired for falsifying his time card, also A deputy Sargent recently got demoted. What is going on at our local sheriffs office and why is none of this being reported?

I'm curious about something and have not been able to find an answer. I'm hoping you may know the answer. Is it 'usual practice' to use a person's full name in the body of an op-ed?
