No papertrail, no item A. Gail Hardy will never sign any 24.

There is a paper trail, it just needs to be found. Start with his bank records, where did he hide over $400,000. How did he pay for all of his new vehicles? And ATF might be able to build a better case for federal charges, better than IAD

Kevin, we all know your unequivocal support & bias, when it comes to Rovella. How can you not see and hold Rovella accountable? He is in charge and responsible and accountable for ALL purchases... he didn't notice a budget item increase from 115,000 to 400,000. If he didn't isn't that incompetence? He has been "in charge" for how many years? Judge him the same way you have with every other Dept Head.

This is OUTRAGES, MISMANAGEMENT, INCOMPETENT and Falls on Rovella, you know it and we know it! If he didn't know he should of known, even you know that or should.

Wow OMG what will Chief Rovella do now? THhis is all happening on his watch $400'000 and I used to wonder how Lou Crabtree always had the best cars in the whole department, that guy accused Ricky martinez of stealing a magazine he also failed me one quarter for talking back to him Karma is bittersweet and revenge is a dish best served cold if this guy doesn't do any jailtime just throw away justice system this is absolutely beautiful

Maybe the mayor should create a task force of old useless chiefs of the HPD to investigate this. And he can use a useless old fire chief to be on it also.

7:19 chief Huertas on a trash force or a task force is a great idea. Excellent example for honesty, efficiency and of course leadership

STOP turning away from highlighting the HPD f##k ups. There are many, the drinking, the drugging, the overtime corruption, the stealing of time, the off duty conduct of officers... just like HFD, but you judge HPD different, because they feed you information. Believe me they only do that to keep you st bay. Ask other officers, not the ones that feed you and certainly not Rovella.

This is NO small matter and as previously commented and you always say, they don't care cause it's taxpayers money and NOT theirs. Well this falls on Rovella; Ultimately it is his job, his responsibility to monitor and maintain his budget.

If this was Huertas, Deller or SKB you would be calling them all kind of stupid, incompetent names, oh you have for a lot less dollars Be fair & balanced in your "Reporting".

You will lose credibility, if you do not scrutinize Rovella just like the rest. Or at the very least, admit that this is on his watch and just like every other person, Dept Head, employee you judged, judge him!

According to the Audit Report this mess at the range has been going on for several previous HPD administrations and nobody did anything. Sounds like Rovella is the first one to do something about it. The audit report also said Rovella requested the audit.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!! No checks & balances, no accountability, no supervision...business as usual for HPD. For those of us who are really INFORMED we can attest we are familiar to that mindset. Lets look at a past "AUDIT" or "INDEPENDENT REVIEW" of HPD dated:Sept 21, 2011 MARCUM ADVISORY GROUP. This costly (to taxpayers) review involved the IAD and the citizen complaint process. On page 12 its is noted by MARCUM ADVISORY GROUP that: " FEW IF ANY, OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED IN A COMPREHENSIVE AUDIT OF IAD TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT DEFICIENCIES, COMMISSIONED IN 2008 WERE EVER IMPLEMENTED. MANY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS ADDRESSED THE SAME DEFICIENCIES NOTED DURING OUR INQUIRY" In other words, our leaders are AWARE of issues/problems within HPD, they SEEK HELP and ADVICE in identifying/addressing the problems. A costly AUDIT IS ORDERED yet after the audit concludes and makes recommendations HPD decides not to implement any of them. WHY NO ACCOUNTABILITY EVER. Taxpayer money wasted. More of the same from HPD in a time when police nationwide are seen in such a negative light. Now its 440k unaccounted for? SHAME HPD! Dear Mr Brookman STOP TURNING AWAY FROM HIGHLIGHTING THE HPD F&%#K UPS INDEED!

Now we all know how Lew Crabtree aka Crabby , bought his new Hummer vehicle that cost $90,000 dollars. Also the dude Lewis and his wife hunt for bears in Maine ,that is where he used his ammo. Windsor locks PD are all former Htfd Ct cops who retire and go there.

Dear Chief Rovella,
Thank you so much for finally taking the heat off of me. This has been the best few days I have had in a long time. Please keep up the good work.
Sincerely, Chief Huertas

Once again. Zero paper trail. Zero accountability. You can not get blood from a stone. No 24 will ever get signed for a " hunch" that maybe some brass and rounds were missing, plus is there even a time frame ? Ten years or maybe the last fifteen years?

I actually feel sorry for the person geting stuck with that titanic of a report . Hopefully they get some pink....

You know Pedro steers those Audit Reports, hence the past administration lingo. He wanted that in for him & Rovella. As you know, someone signed those invoices and ALL DEPT HEADS MUST REVIEW AND SIGN OFF FOR THEM TO REACH THE NEXT LEVEL. Look at the Procurement Procedures. Sure he requested it, the rumors of misuse of ammo & funds were out there. What better way to deflect your part. Sorry folks, if Rovella is not accountable neither Deller, and the rest of the fraudulent Dept. Heads, including Mayor Caviar!

Stop being bias - Post my comment about Procurement Procedures and the "past administration" rhetoric. Rovella must approve every invoice before it goes to finance. The enormous increased amount in that one line item, would have raised a RED FLAG to any amateur or idiot. Rovella can play the city hall blame game, however the buck stops at the Chief's door.

FOI all info to invoice processing and let the chips fall and come to light. Please be FAIR, I like you and do not want to think you are protecting Rovella. You have no problem exposing minorities,, you don't want that imagine to be a cloud over you.

How do you think the audit began? Chief Rovella recognized the red flags and called for the investigation. The red flags had been there for years under his predecessors, who did nothing. If I was biased, I would have never posted the full report or even pushed for the report to be released

How can a certain officer with an active protective order against him, which means he cant be around firearms, be working inside the booking facility ? He has access to firearms in the sallyport if there is a fight between a prisoner and a street officer. Another coverup i guess. I guess the media will cover this mess also ..... Good job stack with the skydiving on sick time in Texas ..

So let me get this straight Tishay Johnson stole 30K there was a big story he was forced to resign an did not get his whole pension but Crabtree mishandled 400K and there is no arrest his name was not dragged through the mud publically and he got to retire an we are to believe race has nothing to do with this? Kevin you are right a grand jury or the Feds should investigate this because no matter what IAD finds it does not look good for Rovella or the Department where did all that ammunition go?? Is it on Albany Avenue?? This is very serious especially if none of those other police departments verify Crabtree bartered with them

Why don't you enlighten me? What would you like to see that I haven't posted? If you are referring to the deer video, that will not be posted here because that , in my opinion I neither a legit story or fair to the Officer involved. That video was leaked by the wife of an HPD officer currently investigation as retaliation , law enforcement officers at DEEP said there was no criminal violation but apparently their spokesperson, who has probably never spent a day receiving any formal law enforcement training his entire career thought he knew better said there was a violation , which numerous sources in law enforcement continue to say there was not. Even though it is popular right now to buy into "open season on cops" frenzy, I am not buying into that. If you are referring to the racial incident , that will come out when all the facts are gathered, not just to enrage public opinion
