There are at least 200 IMPD officers who live out-of-county who are allowed to take their assigned police vehicles home. Morgan County is one of the allowed counties where officers can live. Simply put, any county that shares a border with Marion County is an allowable county where IMPD officers can reside or operate their assigned vehicles. It should also be noted these officers pay a substantially higher "take-home-car-fee" each month for the privilege.

Alcoholism is a tough problem to fight, and it can hit just about anyone.

The real issue here is what was our car doing in Monrovia?

I was tooling through Morgan County recently, and I saw an IMPD car parked in a house driveway, obviously the duty car of the resident.

Does IMPD care about its cars being taken out of the City? Does IMPD have a special car out-of-range hotline we can call?

Come folks, Mayor Ballard is a nice guy, really.

He's just a miserable failure at his job.

You voted for him, suck it up!

Gary: Ballard truly wasn't a military leader...he obviously was a failure. In regards to your comment at 7:17, well, Stupid is as stupid does.

-Ballard was relieved of command and dismissed. Just saying.

"War is Coming" so writes Paul Craig Roberts in his latest internet column, the one earlier in the week declaring that because of this horror, none of us have much more time to live. Maybe with all this stress enveloping us, all IMPD officers should be asked to take a breathalyzer test before driving.

Is this another deputy that was "con"solidated into IMPD?

You have a point. At least 90% of the IMPD officers are more qualified to be chief than Rick Hite, who never received any formal training to become a police officer and repeatedly failed the certification exam before finally passing it.

The fact there have been so many and they include a high ranking person makes me question the Climate of Command. I have to wonder if there is such a poor command that the subordinates are giving up and feeling too much stress.

If a single Company in the military had this type of problem, the Commanding Officer would be relieved of duty.

And just like that the feigning public support goes right out the window...grow up.
