Is that how the Poilce do there investigations on eachother? I found it seemed like a lot to do about nothing. The report by C. Bernier seemed mostly one-sided, that does not seem fair to the employee.

When you read Daily's response it makes the picture much clearer. It is almost like Bernier ignored keys facts. Poor little fella, probably gonna get some trouble for that.

Bernier's report seemed a little "Short-sighted". He should "stand up" and do the right thing. This incident is no "small" occurence....

Wow. What a bunch of bullies with rank. Time to start earning the respect. Like back in the 80 s. All the past chiefs. Except harnett would not put up with circus. How many work hours were put into this nonsense. Lt salary too. More money down the toliet. Since the command staff wants to waste resources. Pretty sad.

The city should be prepared to offer Ed's attorney a lot of money and Bernier should be demoted back to LT. for this witch hunt. How is the command staff who signed off on this going to back track and point fingers, it should of never made ut past the first review and Bernier should of been brought up on charges for at least negligent performance of duty.

Join the club, Kevin. I put in an FOI request for a copy of one of DKR's famous "I-Files" that was denied almost 4 months ago by Det. Weibush/DKR and Corporation Counsel, despite the fact that my attorney (Tracy Brown) from the Freedom of Information Commission informed me that the City was ordered to physically hand me said documents a week ago last Friday, at the latest. I'm sure that the fact that I haven't received a single shhet of the paperwork yet has NOTHING to do with the fact that the boss that I filed the charges against is the best friend of assistant Chief Brian Heavren, who (in case anybody conveniently forgot) got caught by former IAD Commander Lt. Neville Brooks lying to Internal Affairs when they questioned him about the complaint that I filed. (As an aside I worked under Lt. brooks for several years in the Vice and Narcotics Division, and I don't know anyone in the PD with more integrity)...Hmmm.... can anybody say "coverup?" Maybe I'm painting DKR's administration with the wrong brush, though. Not. And just to silence the peanut gallery who claim that Officers who post anonymously on your blog are cowards (if you haven't yet figured it out) this is Ed Foster, badge #B60 for those of you who are interested.

Ed,

As I am sure you are aware, with the City of Hartford, especially Corp. Counsel, it is not about the law but rather a pattern of ignoring the law to avoid embarassment. In the end they usually lose, but it is a long and tedious process. Until FOI begins fining those involved the maximum $1,000 every time, to which they have to pay out of their own pockets, nothing will change.

And as far as those at HPD, I'm not sure how Detective Wiebusch could understand the "red book" in order to make an arrst if she can't even comprehend a few FOI statutes that are pretty basic. Maybe that is why she is inside handling FOI requests, rather than enforcing the real laws like a real cop.

I'll check for you, but as I said, Corp Counsel knows how to play the game. I think after a FOI Commission ruling , there is an appeal period during which everything goes on hold to allow the City to file an appeal to the commission decision in Superior Court. I think that is 20 days.

If you don't receive your documents as ordered, you can file a contempt complaint with FOI against the City. I've done that before in the Secore matter and I can help you file that in your case. Just a matter of "cut and paste".

I guess "transparency" has a different meaning in the Mayor's office

Put the FOI stuff aside. I just read the Capt. Jim's investigation, and then I read Dailey's response.

I would like to ask Capt. Bernier how somebody can be "extremely receptive" to counseling. "extremely receptive"?! What a joke Bernier. Obviously a cover-up for Rivera, and hard line attack on Dailey.

And why would Captain Bernier leave out all of those facts in his investigation? That’s not very impartial. The intentionally omitted facts certainly were relevant. Or to use Captain Bernier's word; the information or facts he left out were "Extremely Relevant" Mark the score book now, the city will lose that battle. But IA will cover-up any wrong doing, or any intentional misleading by Bernier.

The problem now is if IA finds him at fault, Bernier is burned for any further investigations. His credibility is shot, so look for IA to take care of Bernier. Either way, Bernier certainly has some serious credibility issue in the future. He has set the bar high for all other supervisors- when doing an investigation on another employee who you don’t like, just include whatever facts you want to prove your case, and leave out any that you don’t like.
