The Phoenix PD Lieutenant Transfer and Lieutenant List

Recently Policing with a Porpoise chief Danny-Boy Garcia, announced the latest lieutenant transfers.
Incredibly, chief Dan Garcia personally chose all these transfers himself.

Why? 

We can only assume because he has a lot of free time and as Phoenix?s top cop, he likes to get caught in the weeds and focus on things that aren?t so important and ignore the things that are.  Dan Garcia was sure to remind all these lieutenants how they should not think of themselves as cops, but rather managers and leaders now. 

For the layman out there, this gives you the complete list of lieutenants along with badge numbers and where they are working.  It?s always fun to see where the crappy stupid lieutenants we often blog about ? like Lauri Burgett, Joe Balloon Knott, Stan Hoover, Lisa Messina, Tracey Miller, Vincent Piano and Lowell Spalla ? end up.

Thus far the new police chief has many Obama-esq qualities - meaning - he is a do-nothing, non actionable police chief.  Leadership is all about surrounding yourself with great people and standing on their shoulders.  It's about keeping smart people close to you and delegating the small stuff to trusted competent associates.   Rather than worrying about uniforms or where lieutenants are being transferred, we think chief Garcia might want to take a look at some of the company he keeps.  He appears to be re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic!

When Dan Garcia keeps assclowns like Joe Yahner as his second in command (think Jack Harris,) or the likes of Tracy Montgomery and the father of a child molester like Louie Tovar, in any commander position where they are making decisions that affect the citizenry of Phoenix  ? one has to question Garcia?s integrity and competence in running any organization.

Maybe Garcia is over his head and doesn't know how to lead and should go back to Operations?
