Let's discuss fraud. AGAIN.

Are we just openly condoning fraud now or what? What if an injured (…”injured”) chief’s driver is on restricted duty but somehow racks up over 1000 hours of OT in positions that are not restricted duty. Surely this world-class-celebrating-150-years-with-literally-tens-of-people would never fathom such a thing occurring, much less allow it. Not that the workers comp fraud wouldn’t be enough, but those positions might oftentimes already be filled. When brought to commands attention, wouldn’t it be crazy if the edict was DON'T DISCUSS THESE INCIDENTS. We answered our own question, we would not OPENLY condone fraud. We would privately condone fraud. That makes it OK then.

Certainly they’re not removing monikers until staffing is completed so other command techs do not fill command tech positions to make sure this “injured” restricted duty driver has a spot. That would be fu**ed up. Ain’t no way this highly ethical beyond reproach world class department would do such a thing.

And if it did happen, and come on, what kind of scumbag, grifting, as****es would do such a thing? But for sh*ts and giggles let’s just say it’s happening…there’s just no way it would be coming from the same deputy’s office as all the other fraud, intimidation, arbitrary rule enforcement, be******ty, etc. There’s just no way.

Thank you for coming to our TEDTalk.

Most Dallas firefighters don’t trust their top leaders, around a quarter of almost 900 workers say they’ve experienced symptoms of depression, and nearly 1 in 10 employees say they’ve thought of harming themselves, according to the results of an internal city survey released Thursday.

From the inbox: "Be warned of the resiliency coordinator. She has reported members to IAD based on third party information and is causing members to get in trouble. What you tell her is not confidential."

From the inbox: "Is it true the department did not approve leave for members wanting to attend the IAFF peer support training?"

Maybe the results of the mental health surveys are so damn good they know we don't need it.

FROM THE INBOX:

"Where are the results of the mental health surveys that were completed? There has been plenty of time to compile the results and make a final report, especially since "mental health is a top priority" according to our fearless and caring leaders. Why would the administration not let the results out since mental health is such a concern...unless there is something in the report that they are afraid of."

From the inbox...”Ever try to call the peer support team? Don’t bother. They don’t return calls.”

What message are we sending our members? We need to figure out what the f**k is going on with us.

What’s next, a 4th investigation ordered by The Gov?

DPD recently concluded its review and said it sticks by the original findings: that there was no criminal wrongdoing by former paramedic Brad Cox.
