IT IS SO MUCH MORE HONEST IF YOU JUST DON'T CHEAT

By Bob Walsh

 

 

 

Six top members of the Hillsborough County, Florida S.O. are no longer employed following a cheating scandal at the FBI National Academy.  They include the captain in charge of internal affairs.  Two were sacked and four resigned.


Sheriff Chad Chronister announced yesterday that all six members of his command staff had either been sacked or had resigned.  They include former Chief Deputy Collins, Colonels Hannaford and Rule and Captain Rivera, the head of Professional Standards.  Captains Stearns and Johnson did not leave voluntarily and were sacked.

All of these people had papers written for them by Robert Roush.  Sheriff Chronister went so far as to send investigators of New Hampshire to personally interview Roush, who (allegedly) admitted to writing the papers for those staff members.   

It isn't really clear who Roush was or what connection he may have had to the Academy or to the Hillsborough County S.O.  The fired command staff members paid for his assistance.

Wow! It must have been common knowledge if cheating was that wide spread. I have an acquaintance that attended the last FBI Academy.
