Copied!

Kenosha Police Chief Patrick Patton made a promise the Police and Fire Commission when he took on the role of Chief in 2023 that he would develop a “senior staff that was one of the most educated and trained in the State to further the leadership skills and prepare for succession” within the department. As part of that promise, every member of the Kenosha Police Department’s Command Staff attended leadership courses through FBI-LEEDA (Law Enforcement Executive Development Association).

        1. They can’t catch most of the bad guys, so they gotta get the normal Joes to make it look like they’re having an effect.

      1. I don’t think so. People who are bothered by the lack of integrity of police officers generally never wanted to be a cop.

        The entrance exam is not hard. No college credits are required to get hired. Yes, you have 5 years to get 60 college credits. Even then, you can follow the lead of police chief Morrissey and get a fake college degree.

          1. You are delusional. Being a cop is not a prestigious job. In the past, many people held officers in high regard. Not so much any more. Police have allowed the worst of their professional to be the ones who define public opinion. Except for the bootlickers and groupies, Large numbers of people do not respect the police.

        1. Even if you pass the entrance exam you’re not getting hired without college credits. No one wants to take a chance on someone without college courses

    1. Until you need them! Just like the protesters burning the city down in Kenosha carrying defund the police signs..and then one of their own down and hurt you hear them yelling out, call the police. Left wing nuts at their finest. Can’t fix STUPID.

      1. The Left wing is much worse than stupid: they spent more than 2 billion dollars offering Medicaid to illegal immigrants while citizens can’t afford health insurance. They are traitors. Soon they will try to create chaos again, and that’s when these law enforcement haters will start liking the police again.
        Let’s be proud and thankful for our law enforcement.

  1. It is too bad that two members of the command staff in this photo have committed perjury. The evidence will come out soon.

    1. Really?? I just thought they are on the federally mandated “Brady list” for confirmed lying in an official capacity.

      1. The police department has multiple officers that are on that list for lying on duty. The DA has the list. Gravely refused to publish it. Maybe Solis will because he’s “for the people”? Or maybe the chief will?

        7
        2
        1. The chief could produce it, or perhaps the District Attorney could request it as well. I guess the DA, who at present has other priorities, could have one of his PIs check if any of those on the list commit further irregularities and, if so, proceed accordingly. I guess Ken could request the list as well; however, that may place the individuals on it at risk of being targeted by future false allegations, knowing they are already being scrutinized.

      1. At least 6!! Chief Patton should post it to kpd Facebook page so the citizens can “trust the kpd”. Unless we shouldn’t trust them? That’s what not releasing the circumstances and names will show. Any updates on the detective on paid suspension for 2 months still?

  2. 39 sworn officers with guns ?
    Of Which I’m sure some were pulled at the ready !

    Just a regular citizen here but …..
    (go ahead and tell a uneducated citizen)

    …. If these Awards for ALL THIS TRAINING means excellence in Leadership, where was the Leadership that brought out 39 officers from “multiple” agencies to take down poor little Ted and a drugged out kid ?
    They’ve been there before. Knew the layout of the house. Obviously knew what they were looking for and what and who they most likely would find.
    So Why the Army ? Really ? How many guys were able to fit in the front door by surprise then in these small house 10’ x 12’ bedrooms ?

    Leadership. Overtime. All for little old Ted and a hungover kid.

    And then they let Ted go !!! Why ?

  3. … the awards were for Kenosha City Pd.

    But they were there to lend assets, weren’t they ?

    A collaboration of experience. No ?

      1. Hey Kevin.

        It’s not for me to ask you to ask about things that for the most part don’t matter but …
        who were the multiple agencies on site that morning ?
        A comment above says City cops weren’t there. What agencies were “interested” in what might be found at Ted’s house ?
        FBI ? Other county’s ?
        How far and wide of an influence does Ted have ?
        They obviously can’t look for and break attorney client privilege but who else would be interested if the City PD didn’t have a dog in the fight to lend a hand ?

  4. Don’t mix this award up with the National Recognition of the FBI Law Enforcement Academy. The is an award or certificate…nothing more. It only reflects the upper echelon of the department, not the rank and file. Real Accreditation means your go through the process to get it and go back to normal after you got it. I’m sure KPD is ensuring its upper rank be educated…nothing new there. Education is great but street smarts and people skills are things that higher education cannot teach-they must be learned on the job. Think of it this way…many nurses who do the job are RN’s (only needing a 2 year degree. Those with Bachelors are more Administartive and those with Masters are educators)…..same should apply to KPD. Remember when you call 911, the Chief of aren’t the ones responding or handling your call.

  5. The award is to show that the command staff completed courses in how to supervise employees and run a department efficiently, and basically solve the most cases.
    HOWEVER-
    if Kevin gets and publishes the truth about the person on paid leave currently, that will demonstrate the opposite. Where were these captains and lieutenants whose job it is to monitor their employees work while the issues were going on 20 feet from Their office? Guess they ALL missed that chapter at FBI school? Basic incompetence with Lax oversight, pure laziness. These guys are making well over $100k per year as supervision, and not supervising.
    Independent audit and accountability needs to be done here, and the public needs to see every word of it. That’s the only way the public can trust them.
