OK,
the new broom sweeps clean, but there is such a thing as common sense
management. Even the President of the
United States kept some Republicans on as he saw they were doing excellent
work.
Well,
Pete Sudler is nothing short of excellent.
One
resident told me he posted this on Sheriff Israel’s Facebook page:
“Dear Sheriff elect Israel,
I have been a part-time resident of Deerfield Beach since 1979 – full-time and a Florida voter since 1985. In all that time, Deerfield Beach has never had a more effective chief of police. Not only do we know that we are safer, in just a little over two years he has he has made powerful strides toward unity in our city. He is a remarkably skillful communicator — social worker.
His summary dismissal through one of your campaign supporters is tearing our community apart. I have spoken with our city commissioners and with the mayor, none of whom were aware that you were going to take this action.
I am one of many many citizens who would like to know for what reasons you could take such action without consulting with the leaders of our city.
We await your reply. Thanks."
When
I contacted Ron Gunzburger, (General Counsel-designate, on behalf of
Broward County Sheriff-elect Scott J. Israel) this is what he emailed me:
Broward County Sheriff-elect Scott J. Israel) this is what he emailed me:
“This was a decision made by the Sheriff-elect, upon consultation with community leaders, elected officials and his own incoming Command Staff leaders. We are appreciative of Chief Sudler's service to Broward County, but the new administration is simply moving in another direction. Be assured, nothing will ever be done to compromise the safety of the community. When the Sheriff-elect reveals the name of his choice for the new Chief, we believe the community will be very excited about and supportive of the person.”
As far as I can determine Israel only talked with Mayor Peggy Noland who tried to convince him not to fire Sudler.
I don’t see the community being excited about the new Chief, no matter who the “person” is, all we see is disappointment that the kids' programs, the outreach, and goodwill engendered by Chief Sudler is being flushed down the drain.
How
many years will it take to get back to that level in the off chance that the
new “person” is anywhere as good as Chief Sudler? We shouldn’t have to wait years for what we
have right now.
Our reply "You're IN. It's not for us to give you a chance with your team. It is for US to expect a response to our original question. "For what reasons you could take such action against our Chief of Police Sudler without consulting with the leaders of our city AS YOU HAD PROMISED TO DO?" My original message to you seems to have disappeared.
ReplyDeleteBroward County Sheriff Scott Israel commented on his Wall post.

Bett, Just a reminder, it was Bill Murray that started the PAL programs and Chief Jay Fernandez who more than doubled the program from two to five sports, built the PAL center above the fire stsation, assigned Harold to Westside Park, ended the open violence between the Haitian and the African Americans, created specialized units to address the drugs in the community. Chief Sudler simple rode his coat tails and stabbed him in the back with Peggy Nolans full support. Chief Fernandez was shown the door and he did the professional thing and resigned and has moved on. Chief Sudler is to coward to do the right thing.
DeleteIts funny none of you complained when the city fired personell over the last 2 years, why now?
ReplyDeleteThe Sheriff has the right to bring in his own people. Give him a chance. I also heard that Donna Council was fired as BSO Purchasing Manager.
ReplyDeleteThe people fired from BSO:

Bett, you dont the ins-and-outs of the workings at the BSO Deerfield District. Sudler is not the great person whom you believe him to be. He is very self serving and vindictive. Deerfield Beach was once a district that received many transfer requests to get to. Now the transfers are to leave all because of Sudler. Just as the other poster said. Sudler rode the coat tails of Fernandez.
ReplyDeleteBurgess and Peggy ----When Pete Sudler went as far as taking a picture of Isreal, drawing a circle with a line throught it, all the while laughing that Isreal is a joke, what did you really expect??? Would you even think about keeping anyone employed that did that to you????

DeleteI think it's refreshing to have someone at the helm that may not protect the Noland clan as has been done in the past but may actually go by the book and uphold law and order.
DeleteImagine the Commission not having complete control? I read a rather stupid comment by a rather stupid person ..... 2/3 of DB voted for Israel. Did this person survey the 2/3rds to see if they wanted Sudler to stay or if they trusted Israel's decision? I''ve liked all the police chiefs we've had in DB. I trust I''ll like the new chief as well.
It was not 2/3, not even close. The vote was 14,035 Lamberti, 13,422 Israel.
DeleteIsrael won 11 precincts: 7, 10, 15, 18, 19, 24, 31, 35, 37, 38, and 39. 18 and 19 were 49-51 percent splits.
Correction: Lamberti 14,035 and Israel 13,879. Israel also won precinct 16, where he won by two votes, 81-79.
DeleteI want Burgess and Peggy to explain the personel decisions made over the last 3 years in Deerfield Beach. Look at all the employees fired or laid off by this regime with hardley any second guessing from the S.O.B. Or almost any other residents besides Jean Robb or Caryl Berner. Lamberti said no one person is bigger than the Broward Sheriff Office. Pete Sudler is no different. If that's true about Sudler drawing a circle with a line through Israel, what the heck do you expect?
ReplyDeleteYou can always count on Deerfield Beach politicians/activist to put this city in the news in a negative light.You're gonna flood city hall to protest the firing of one man. What has this beautiful city come to? Pete Sudler should not have never been the district chief anyway, Granville should have been the chief but Lamberti racist ways hampered that decision.Sudler was not well liked as the SOB's and other residents think. He hindered Granville efforts keeping him shining a seat with his butt in the office, then finally having him shipped off.
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for. Israel has more baggage than a hobo on a train from N.Y. to Florida. A racist? Where does this garbage come from? You're probably the first to call BSO when the crack dealers are in front of your house. Pete has been nothing but professional as has the rest of district 10 BSO. When crime was rampant in our neighborhood they had manpower like we've never seen before, and when the trap was set BSO pounced like the pros they are. We may not save Pete!s job but we don't have to sit silent
ReplyDeleteChecked with Al Capellini this morning. He had the charges against Peggy's son dropped because in his words " why should he have a criminal record over this". Get your facts straight before you accuse someone.
ReplyDeleteWhy....cause he did something criminal, that's why and his mom was running for office. That makes it worse. The seed doesn't fall far from the apple. And look who helped. Capellini is looking for someone to get him off the hook like he got the kid off the hook.
DeleteLadies and gentlemen. Boys and girls of every age. Welcome to the circus called the City of Deerfield Beach, where all the politicians are crooked.
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing that a special meeting was called on Wednesday to give Pete Sudler a job as the Laison for the city. What a damn shame all the employees that had to take a 5% pay cut and now the city wants to employ Sudler.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The city cries no money, put in new taxes, cut employees pay but they can find a new position at $150k and rationalize this is due to the Ohio school tragedy!
DeleteOne might think this will be a priority for BSO. This "position" can't direct BSO what to do so do we really have " $150k to spare just because we like Sudler? I think all the firemen should be up in arms that they have to pay 10 percent extra. Really, what is wrong with this picture? Interesting that Mahaney founded this position for Fernandez when the commission booted this police chief out for doing his job.
