I may have it spelled wrong but everyone knows who he is. We’ve been hearing for some time he is being groomed as the next Sheriff. It’s always nice to know that neither the Board of Supervisors or the voters get a choice in the matter.
Sheriff Hoops, First off, you need to find yourself a new secretary. Secretarial skills should at least be one of the qualifications required before you hire someone for such a position! As an elected official, you are judged by what you produce. If I could have figured out a way, I would have used my handy-dandy red pen on your memo. Please try harder to have your staff produce professional-looking documents. For those who have not seen it:
iePolitics has received information that the Grand Jury had subpoenas regarding the POST scandal served on 22 individuals and that 15 have or are about to be indicted. We also understand there will be numerous terminations. This confirms information we posted last month; however, we are still not clear if a special criminal Grand Jury has been empaneled. Otherwise, we are assuming that charges will be filed rather than indictments issued. If anyone has additional information, please contact us at iepolitics2010@gmail.com.
I am circlating a petition to request that the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors remove Sheriff Rod Hoops from his position. The petition can be downloaded and printed on legal sized paper and need to be returned no later than May 22, 2010. Here is the .pdf file: Petition 1
I have dozens and dozens of businesses and plenty of citizens gathering signatures to present to the Board of Supervisors in one month. The only requirement is the person be a citizen of San Bernardino County. It doesn’t matter if they are a registered voter or not. I am also requesting the parents of the children in this County, to please ask your children to mail a letter to the Board of Supervisors requesting they dismiss Sheriff Rod Hoops from office for his utter failure to eliminate and disclose the corruption in the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department.

iePolitics is receiving some very interesting information regarding the Sheriff’s Rangers. Can someone give me the email address for Deputy Chief Paul Cook? I know the pcook format, but that is common enough it could be something different.
Also, I am sending a California Public Acts Request to Sheriff Hoops now to request the audio tape of the incident with San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos. I understand the conversation may have been recorded by more than one deputy. If anyone else is will to send an email to Sheriff Hoops asking that the tape be released, let me know and I’ll give you his email address if you don’t already have it.
As briefly reported at Inlandpolitics on April 15, 2010 by blogger ten.fifteen under the “Frank Guzman releases his campaign website” thread, the blogger eludes to an encounter by deputies with District Attorney Mike Ramos. Continue reading
I have received several anonymous emails that can’t exactly be considered threats suggesting that as part of my “A Legacy of Malfeasance” series I not delve into the issue of the Sheriff’s Rangers. So, I am going to delve into the issue of the Sheriff’s Rangers. To be truthful, until I started receiving the emails, I did not even know they existed. However, I now know that these are often wealthier members of our community who are supposed to have training and carry special deputy badges. Hmm . . . wonder why training and badges could possibly be an issue in this county?
One thing I did notice is that on Sheriff’s Hoop’s 460 ending December 2009, the Rangers donated to his campaign but then the contribution was refunded. Can any one shed light on that specifically? And, of course, send me all you can on the Rangers. This should prove to be interesting. Continue reading
