With Judge Kratovil, AKA, the Hammer, Im not worried about that. Frank is fair and tough. Now, getting the cases to him is another issue in the Sheriffs department. One of the last cases he did was "dismissed with prejudice".

Gary is the only one who can ask for additional funding. Has he been asking? Phil Dumenil didnt answer me when he jumped in a facebook discussion on this very topic.

No. Dismissed with prejudice means the case was so fatally flawed it could not proceed to court.

But to personally politic for yourself for a hefty pay raise to become one of the highest paid Sheriff's in Maryland and not politic your YOUR deputies, come on where is Sheriff Hofmann's priority? Manpower, ok, lets see how many vacant positions are there currently? How many deputies work Monday - Friday day shift in some way shape or form in a unit? How about hiring a retiree and giving him a nice salary, take home car and making him contractual to work M-F in an office! I don't have the answer on manpower but I'd love to see it The amount of openings compared to funds available for bodies I'd be surprised if the money was there yet they aren't hiring

Im not going to add too much to this because JJ has already said it and im not going to beat a dead horse by typing it again, however I am convinced that oriolesfan must be sheriff hofmann due to responses and has the feed sent to his mobile phone and STILL has no clue what he is talking about and STILL wont answer any questions but attempts to make himself sound like he has a clue. As far as not running a negative campaign, well you cant. There are no skeletons or any bad anything in BANKS past, so therefore all you have and can do is bash his supporters instead of standing up for who you support. Noone has attacked you personally, (Refer to Queen Annes Sheriff blog in this forum main page) but yet we stand up for what is right... and thats BANKS! Thank you lainey for joining us and sharing your opinion also. I have to agree, hofmann has had 8 years to get it right, and all he can seem to get right is bringing public distrust and lawsuits to the Sheriffs Office. Lets get back to what oriolesfan stated above, you have talked to several deputies and they stated they liked the department... well of course they are going to tell the sheriff how great he is, they have seen what hofmann did to deputies that go against him, hence the one being termintated which resulted in a lawsuit. You keep talking about what BANKS has done, apparently you need to re-read what was posted by his supporters on here because we have explained it several times along with asking out questions that yet have been answered. Maybe you should see his website and read about what he has ACTUALLY done, not just talk about it and dog and pony show the cameras like hofmann. Its not above the sheriffs head totally. The sheriff has say in it, but how about disband some of the deputies that are in units that are not required and eliminate some of the mon-fri desk jobs and put those deputies out on the street to get back the streets, or heres a better idea, get out from behind his desk and fight crime head on WITH his deputies. You lead from the front and by example.

It's above the sherifs head to get the money for bodies Correct me if im wrong, but the sheriffs office is a seperate entity from the county correct? Being a seperate entity, the sheriff can do as he pleases with his budget correct? Sooooo....how are salary increases above the sheriffs head? Also, i saw somewhere in here someone mentioned saving money by giving it back to the county. My question is this, unless I as a resident receive a refund check, how are you saving me money??? My guess would be money sent back goes to the BOE or parks and rec....so again I ask how is that saving money?

You lead from the front and by example. Id love for you to show me where posted negative things to anyone....you can't. We both have opinions but I guess yours are all that matters. I never said the officers told the sheriff anything, I said I've talked to quite a few and they like the dept so don't change my words please I've answered all your questions you've posted that I could Since you know the manpower of the dept so well why aren't you running for sheriff? I mean you claim to know what units do what and when people are on the desk and not. I've seen Hoffman out pulling traffic...have you? Also....since you are unaware many people and many people here post via a cellphone...it's the year 2014 and technology allows it. My apologies for not having a desk job like yourself but I enjoy my job outside all day working with others. You should get a new phone, you'd be amazed at the new technology

If you think this dept can compete budget wise with others local across the bridge you are sorely mistaken. The budget allows for what it allows for. He doesn't set his own budget numbers

As to the budget, you make wise command decisions and wise fiscal decisions. You don't buy stupid things and spend money on stupid things like aircrafts, SUV's for your command staff, a boat, training trips all over the country, Lieutenants that sit in and office, but yet years past would be out working the road. Your Sheriff's Resource Unit, Monday thru Friday, day shift, put them in a rotation and make them work the road. The retired employee that is drawing a hefty pension and now is collecting an additional pay check working Monday thru Friday with a take home vehicle that sits in an office all day.
Would you agree Oriolesfan that it was one of Sheriff Hofmann's personal top priorities to lobby and politic for a personal pay raise to make him one of the highest paid Sheriff's in the State of Maryland?
Would you agree, that if Sheriff Hofmann was such a great leader and had his deputies backs and best interest that he would have lobbied and politicked to get his deputies pay raises?
I am curious why the Queen Anne's County Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge has not endorsed Sheriff Hofmann if he is such a great leader???
Sometimes it is what one does not see or hear that tells a story. Case in point, other then the Captain and Major that he appointed, no Deputy's have come out to support their boss here in Queen Anne's County. Not one. Again is that due to a lack of leadership and support from his deputies?

I won't knock the boat or plane personally...I def won't knock any sort of training and that should always be a top priority...as far as the SUVs or who is or isn't in the office I can't answer as I don't have direct knowledge on it Would you agree Oriolesfan that it was one of Sheriff Hofmann's personal top priorities to lobby and politic for a personal pay raise to make him one of the highest paid Sheriff's in the State of Maryland? I don't know if he did or didn't myself but it wouldn't surprise me as every dept head I've ever seen anywhere had done the same Would you agree, that if Sheriff Hofmann was such a great leader and had his deputies backs and best interest that he would have lobbied and politicked to get his deputies pay raises? Again I have no knowledge if he did or didn't but have seen nothing that says he hasn't I am curious why the Queen Anne's County Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge has not endorsed Sheriff Hofmann if he is such a great leader???

Again is that due to a lack of leadership and support from his deputies? I'm sure most officers stay out of politics all together as it doesn't benefit them one way or another....I didn't ask any I've talked to about it. I stuck to whether they were happy and liked the dept. I tried to answer best I could. I can't bold type so I spaced your quote

REALLY? Is that going to be your responses?
Why is it that you immediately respond with in minutes when something is posted about the Sheriff. Having these blogs about the Sheriff's Office immediately sent to your phone make me wonder, I am all for technology, but to have these blogs sent immediately to your phone, makes me wonder why you get so defensive and who you really are.

Never once been defensive so you are wrong there... You asked me a question and I responded...if you had asked someone else I wouldn't have And having this sent to my phone is comical...you do know you can browse the internet via cells nowadays right?? You know email, websites etc.... It's pretty standard nowadays. You should upgrade your flip phone sir. I assure you I have zero to do with the sheriffs dept. I will gladly bet you a paycheck or a nice steak dinner on it if you want too. Just let me know

Something else I would like to clarify, The Sheriff wears a patch from the FBI National Academy on his uniform, on departmental letterhead have a printed FBI National Academy patch , film his TV show with the FBI National patch in the background, and brag that he graduated from the FBI National Academy. The FBI Academy and the FBI National Academy are two totally different entities. The FBI Academy is only for FBI Agents. The FBI National Academy can be attended by regular police departments officers. Both Academies are totally different programs.
Please don't be mis-lead into Sheriff Hofmann having higher credentials from seeing that patch!

What is the relationship between the Queen Ann's County Sheriff and Steve Wilson?
Do all or just some of the members of the Sheriffs office get the use of the house at Conquest beach?
Does Steve Wilson have a police record? I was told that he does but I am not sure but I would like to know!
Is the sheriffs brother still on the Queen Ann's County Sheriffs Office roster? Is he still allowed to be a police officer?
