True guest, do i bother you that much, that you have to direct all your comments to me? I don't know whether to be flattered or what.
Anyway, to answer your question...........I couldn't disagree more. Wealth of knowledge is a subjective term...wealth of knowledge in what? law enforcemment, womanizing, excessive force, bending under pressure, cowering during the fight, selling your people out?
let's look at all our out of county friends:
AA Co. - a man that spent his entire career and didn't make it beyond cpl. (which is a given rank for time in grade and has no supervisory authority) and also didn't do a whole lot.
PG Co. - a man that worked at a rinky dink 5 person dept. in pg co. and really didn't do a whole lot, yet tries to let everyone believe he worked for the actual county police and was in the mix of things.
Talbot Co. - a man that was fairly high in the sheriff's dept. during a time that the sheriff was indicted and charged criminally for illegal activities.
QA Co. - a man that spent almost his entire career in community policing, but has not really been in the trenches doing police work, such as investigating crimes, arresting people and such.
And yes, i'm sure the money will be well spent, just like the flat panel tv's that the boys had installed in their offices. Heck, its about time for gery/gary to get a new vehicle.

Hi true guest,
what information would you like to know? I can't tell all the information that I know and have until just the right time. its more effective that way and then i can publicly counter the lies and such when it will really matter. btw, do you of all people really want me to divulge the really embarassing stuff?
haha, you're priceless. glad to know that i have such an effect on you.

You can say what you want but Gary is taking his own time away from his family to go to the Fair to meet and listen to the concerns of the citizens! That is what a leader should do! I am sure that Gary will take this information and put it to good use within the department.

Wrong! What a leader should do is listen to the concerns and actually act on those concerns, not just give lip service, like he has done so much of in the past. and boo hoo, he is away from his family.
What a leader should do, is inspire his subordinates and not threaten them like you suggest he do.
No, gery/gary isn't a leader and neither are his command staff. They are managers....and what a difference there is between the two.

Polllease: Did you check out the sheriff's office web site and how the color pattern was redone, I think it looks good, don't you! I also think they are doing a good job attempting to locate the bear in the county and informing the citizens, don't you!

Oh Polllease, you are way to much! If you know so much why don't you go to the media and have their investigative team look into your issues with our Gary and his Command Staff! I am sure that you would be discredited. You know that he is reading this and knows who you are! Oh yea by the way what ever happened with the great meeting with Sheriff Jackson? Isn't he in the sport light over the mayor's dogs being shot! Have a nice day!

Dear True Guest, let it be understood that as rigorously as you defend the Sheriff because we all know who you are too; I am posting this to represent the Deputies who work for the citizens of Queen Anne’s County. As strongly as you feel the Sheriff can do no wrong, I feel he could do much, much better.
The deputies; the original subject of this thread, are very dissatisfied with the quality of their work conditions, not the job itself. Current deputies, not former ones. No one likes working under a micro-manager, but they do because they are committed to the community. There is NO moral in this agency because the “leader” doesn’t believe in building a team up, he believes in breaking them down to do his will.
Polllease is 100% correct in ALL the statements that has made in this thread. Sadly, True Guest, I think your devotion keeps you from seeing the whole picture. Any member or guest can read this thread and tell your biased in your opinion by the way you attack anyone who doesn’t LOVE the Sheriff. I think you only keep this going because you enjoy antagonizing the only person who is willing to speak the truth, you really need to get a new hobby.
Being a Sheriff isn’t supposed to be about ego; it’s supposed to be about protecting the citizens. A man who has to have is name and picture EVERYWHERE, has ego issues. Gary will probably be re-elected because he is a good politician, but expect most of the agency to start looking for a new employer. The evidence is obvious with the “new” secretary. Gary has to recycle a candidate who was dropped by an academy, because the word is out on the work conditions and not many want to come to QA County. I just wonder why the male candidate isn’t being recycled too.
As for the grievance policy, he is un-approachable, he only wants to hear the good. Any thing else would not be good for that Deputies career. It was also said, “If they are unhappy, let them leave.” It would be a sad day for the citizens of QA County if the deputies did leave, because I don’t think the Sheriff and his command staff could handle to volume of calls on their own.
Now, let’s talk about crime. A few citizens posted that they don’t care what the Sheriff/Deputies do as long as they are there when they are needed. Shame on you! The patrol deputies risk their lives everyday they work to keep average citizens safe. And I can hear some of you say now, “Come on this is Queen Anne’s County, we are in no danger here.” BS! Let’s not forget the 4 Latino’s with loaded guns in the truck. Let’s not forget the woman with the samari sword. Lets not forget all the bar fights that seem to be getting worse every season! Then lets talk about the crime that is not in the spot light but is still here. The ‘White Parties’ our youth attend. The drug dealers in Grasonville and Dominion. Yes, there is cocaine on KI! The fact that people from other states come here to hold up our convenience stores, and shop-lift our outlets because we are in the “country”. The fact that illegal, un-licensed people are stopped and arrested in Queen Anne’s county on a regular basis! Each an every one of these situations can become dangerous to all the officers, (County, State and MTA) who choose to protect and serve you.
True Guest, I will not respond to anything you have to say. I just needed to say this.

From reading these posts one this is very clear, the police officers that really know the true GeRy/GaRy are bewildered at the way he has duped the other group of peole that think they know him.....the public.
I can see that it is very difficult for the officers to get their message out without retaliation from GaRy?GeRy. I know I would not want to be in that position in my job and I am guessing that neither of us would.
It really is a bad situation that eventually will only be exposed when a serious crime occurs that affects us and requires GaRy/GeRy to dig deep for what he does not possess, true police experience.
Please someone that has experience and truely cares for the county run for sheriff this next time around, you are desperately needed.

Check out the freakin website! Talk about tooting your own horn. Funny thing other then the colors it looks just like the sheriffs office website because they are designed by the same company. Take a look at the very bottom it says Authority C. Tarr treasurer. C Tarr happens to drive on of the gas guzzling pick ups the sheriff bought with our tax money.
On a side note to all the deputies you are doing the all REAL work and getting no credit but keep up good job with keeping us all safe

Dear True Guest,
I feel as though this is dejavou. didn't we already cover this when it happened? OK, for those of you that have a short attention span or try to defend gery/gary by not answering simple questions and changing the subject (that would be you true guest), I offer the following:
I read ONE paper article, ironically from angie price's bay times, not articles as you state. How many of the people at the fundraiser were not politicians? How many were ordered, yes ordered to be there by gery/gary or jumpy jim?
Do you know why this article didn't appear in the record observer? I do - because a certain political candidate was so infuriated at the article and how it was portrayed, he actually called the paper and asked them not to print it. WOW!
ok, true guest i'll ask you another question, since you won't answer any of mine. isn't gery/gary's re-election website a DIRECT VIOLATION of his own dept's rules and regulations? You know, using his uniform and the dept. patch and all for political activity. oh, but it must be ok since he is the king, i mean sheriff.

True guest,
please answer some of the questions i posted earlier about gery/gary violating his own depts. rules with his re-elction website, how many at the fundraiser were ordered to be there, etc. You always skip over my questions without answering them or say you don't know, but you do. oh, yea, who am i?
PFS, are you talking about the company that gazoo works for in pg county that installs the lights and stuff for the sheriffs office? ya know, i think i might have to see if i can get a copy of the purchase orders so i can see just how much the sheriffs office gets charged compared to others. now why would that be a conflict of interest, since gazoo works there and he's also in charge of the sheriffs office fleet?

Ethics violations against the Sheriff are investigated by the STATE Ethics Board NOT the County's. The Office of Sheriff is considered a State Office. I know it sounds crazy but that is how it is. Just ask GaRy/GeRy's Lt. Patrick who is in charge of GaRy/GeRy's Internal Affairs Investigations he should know how the State Ethics Boards work, he and Sheriff Ellerbush of Talbot County felt the wrath of the State Prosecutor and the Ethics Board a few years back and they chose to resign. I don't think Lt. Patrick would be my first choice to oversee investigations into my employees after resigning from the Talbot Sheriff Department for violations but then again, that's just me! But then again, he and GeRy/GaRy put the taser report together that the State's Attorney found to have let's just say, important information left out.

1st of all Polllease, Gary will be labeled as one of the Greatest Sheriffs in MD. He will be in the category with Sheriff Lewis as one of the best. 2nd of all Polllease you can bet our Sheriff knows who you are and don't think for a second that he doesn't. 3rd of all what violation of his policy did he violate wearing his uniform, every job has its perks! 4th of all if Gary wants to send the cars to the shop in Prince Georges County, somebody has to approve the work on the cars! 5th of all I am sure there are other sheriff's that put their names on their cars! 6th of all what sheriff or boss do you know of that wears his full uniform everyday and works the road! And finally our Gary was out on Saturday night answering calls and stopping cars on his time. He gives his time to this county because he cares and even know he knows and his command knowledgeable staff who you are, I am sure Gary and his command staff still cares about you, the citizens of this county and all members of his department. Have a good day!

1st of all Gary couldn't carry Mike Lewis's water and as a matter of fact, Mike can't stand Gary and that is a well known fact in Mike's Department, he thinks Gary is a joke. 2nd Who cares if Gary THINKS he knows who is who on this board 3rd Using your public office in uniform is not a perk, it is a violation of rules and regulations 4th Somebody should be approving the cars going to Sgt Tarr's family business in PG County but Gary does as he pleases, after all Sgt Tarr is his campaign treasurer! 5th Please name the other County Sheriff's in MD that allow money to be spent on having their names put on their cars. I know I know the brother of one of his employees does the striping 6th How else can he make sure that everyone knows he is campaigning if he is not in uniform? I'm still trying to figure out how you came up with him getting 40,000 votes!

True Guest,
1. who will label gery/gary as one of the best sheriffs? himself? you? if he is judged by morale in the dept., he is absolutely last. if he is judged by how many of his employees like and respect him, he will be absolutely last. If he is judged by competently running the dept., he is absolutely last. And comparing him to Mike Lewis is an insult to Mike Lewis.
2. i'm calling your bluff (again) so if he and you knows who i am, post it for all to know. If you are so sure, just post it!
3. So what your saying is that its ok to violate rules and regulations because he is above them and it’s a perk? That just furthers my point that you and he think you can do what you want and not be held accountable but the day of reckoning is coming.
4. Who’s in charge of the sheriffs office fleet and who installs the lights, etc.? A clear violation of the QA ethics code.
5. Please give me an example of another sheriff in Maryland that puts his name on his cars. And what is the purpose of having his name on the car? That’s all about ego and being re-elected
6. Umm, lets see…….how about sheriff mike lewis. How about sheriff john price. How about sheriff phil brown.
And finally, your gery/gary was out Saturday night. Whether he was working or not is debatable. and as for being on his time; maybe he’s giving back for some of the time when he does his personal stuff during regular work hours. Btw, shouldn’t you be whining about how he is spending time away from his family and such?
