In that e-mail, he identified himself as a BSO employee and questioned the management of Chief Anthony Williams of the Broward District School Police, There is a current debate between the Broward County School Board and the ROCS program. Peterson stated in the e-mail, “I am not able to comprehend how Williams can be responsible and accountable...” He continues and writes, “In 30 years of law enforcement, Chief Anthony Williams memo is the most disingenuous letter I have ever seen.” Peterson also questions Chief Williams’ supervision of the ROCS program, ALLEGATIONS: 1. Itis alleged that Deputy Seot Peterson did not use common sense and good judgment when he authored an e-mail identifying himself as a BSO employee and challenging the supervision and ‘management of the Chief of police of the Broward District School Police., in violation of SPM 1.11.8, Discretion THE FOLLOWING SHERIFF'S POLICIES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WITH RESPECT TO THE ALLEGATION: 1. SPM 1.11.8, Discretion: Since it is not possible to anticipate all situations that may arise or prescribe applicable courses of action, common sense and good judgment must be used by all employees entrusted ‘with BSO responsibilities, Employees must always be mindful of incorporating experience, training, policies, and supervisory guidance as integral parts of the judgment process, INVESTIGATION: On February 11, 2015, Chief Williams forwarded an e-mail that he received from Deputy Peterson to Colonel Alvin Pollock, CCN 1858. ‘The following is the entire unedited e-mail, which was also addressed to the members of the School Board: Greetings Board Members, Mr. Moquin and Chief Williams: My name is Mr. Scot Peterson, | am a Deputy with BSO and a current ROCS officer at Atlantic Technical College. ‘As you are aware the Resident on Campus Security Program (ROCS) has come under fire by the School District leadership. J assume you have all received the internal audit > Im,report regarding the ROCS program. It is evident that the main recurring theme throughout the audit is that the District leadership failed to manage the ROCS program in its entirety. Chief Auditor Patrick Reilley in his own words in the cover letter to this Board states “is not adequately supervised...” I submit to this Board and the schoo! district leadership that Chief ‘Anthony C. Williams failed completely in managing the most cost effective crime prevention program the District has established. The ROCS program is under the command of the Broward County Schools Police Department. Therefore, Chief Williams is responsible and accountable for the operations of the ROCS program. Since his appointment to Chief of Police, Chief Williams has never had a meeting nor correspondence with the ROCS Officer’s. The only correspondence that I have seen by Chief Williams is his memo dated January 13, 2015 to Patrick Reilly, where he recommended “Dissolving” the ROCS program. Board Members, with all due respect, did Chief Williams read the audit about his ROCS program? Ifhe did he would have discovered that his failure to manage the ROCS program has caused the current situation that we face at this time. Jam not able to comprehend how Chief Williams can be responsible and accountable for the ROCS program and fail us completely and then recommend to Superintendent Runcie that we (ROCS) be “dissolved.” In 30 years of law enforcement, Chief Anthony Williams memo is the most disingenuous letter I have ever seen. I submit to the School Board members that despite Chief Williams failure to supervise the ROCS program, we still everyday protect our kids and school campuses. To conelude, the ROCS program has always worked hand in hand with the school police for over 30 years. We are not the enemy! We all have the same goal, to protect our students, staff'and schools. The ROCS Officer's want to build a positive relationship with the school district. ] am not sure why the District leadership has put “bullseye” on the ROCS program, but we (ROCS) will always place our priority in safeguarding our kids and schools. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
