ANOTHER INVESTIGATION , HOPEFULLY SOME ACTION ALSO

Mayor Segarra has apparently told Channel 3 and Channel  30 that he is conducting an investigation into the operations of the Hartford 911 Dispatch Center.

Most of the complaints and issues coming to the surface lately involve the lack of respect and professionalism of the Department. As in any organization , that tone is set by the person at the top of the Organization. In this case Mayor Segarra, the buck needs to stop at your office.

Andrew Jaffee, the retired HPD Sergeant who is also the Dispatch Center Director is not one who has led by example. Since his appointment , he has not set a good example of professionalism, first and foremost by continually lying to the mayor as well as the people of Hartford. Jaffee is supposed to be a Hartford resident , as required by the City of Hartford Charter.

Jaffee still commutes to Hartford on a daily basis from his home in Suffield. He does maintain a phony residence at 30 Woodland Street, but I have yet to find his City of Hartford issued SUV parked there once yet at night.

In a Department that should have the highest level of integrity, shouldn't Mayor Segarra require  that his Department head at least be able to tell the truth.

Everything else that is going wrong in that dispatch Center can quickly be fixed with proper leadership at the top  and setting a strong tone of professionalism and integrity. That tone is not being set by Mr. Jaffee

Jaffee is a LOSER . But now he will get two pensions from the city. So give him some credit, just like my hero McCoy.

I agree that the Mayor should have paid more attention to what Jaffee was doing. Now a days you can't take people at their word, you have to go and find out for yourself and that's where the Mayor is at fault. Let's talk about KAT O'DWYER, Why is she here??? She talked JAFFEE into making her the TRAINING COORDINATOR
why??? She doesn't have a clue on how yo train!!! She gets her stuff off line & from people who have worked in. Dispatch, PD & Fire for years, puts all the paper eork in a big binder and claims the stuff as her own that she learned or researched) What a JOKE!!!. She says she. dispatched where she worked before coming to. Hartford. Well Honey Hartford is sooo much different & faster from where you come from. If you can't sit down. & dispatch at every position within the Center you work. at, how in the HELL can you be a TRAINING CORD??????? The Dispatchers are the ones who train the new employees & she gets all tge credit & a FAT ASS check.....Look into that Mayor.

Brookman. Has ur blog been reduced to such sh.t postings? Really? Complaints about jealosy? Complaints about people who dont wipe their azez a certain way? Now i know the quality of individuals that Jaffee had to deal with. Vindictive cry babies. Bring Jaffee back! If these a holes have it so bad then leave! Maybe the Mayor fired Jaffee to take the heat off borges ans Molleda but reading these crap postings from dispatch people is making me ill. Im losing love for this blog.

One of the key problems is that he didn't deal with the problems, he was no manager, never was, and that is why that dispatch center is such a mess
