Chief Brooks Has Been Leading You On For Years And You Have Fallen For His BS; Hook, Line And Sinker.

Lisbon's (so called) Chiefs: Brooks & Galipeau

MISGUIDED LOYALTY

I understand there are several of you out there that are supporters of Chief David T. Brooks.  I am sure each of you belongs to the Good Old Boys network.  I feel very sorry for you individuals because you are so gullible. 

Chief Brooks has been leading you on for years and you have fallen for his BS; hook, line and sinker.  Chief Brooks is an excellent politician.   He possesses the ability to talk out of both sides of his mouth and say nothing.  He has the ability to play to any audience by telling them what they want to hear; whether it is the truth or not. 

 Look in Sun Journal for proof  "When you're a small town and you only have one or two people on duty, then you're telling that town they have to take their officer out of their town in order to transport someone," Lisbon police Chief David Brooks said Monday.

Now at the last Town Council meeting Chief Brooks was requesting two Police vehicle replacement totaling $48,264.00 of our tax dollars.  The council approved the request without a problem.   

Can someone tell be why we need 2014 Police Interceptors instead of 2012 or 2013 Police Interceptors?  If there are only one or two people on duty why do we need nine (9) vehicles?  It would appear that neither Chief Brooks nor the council are interested in saving tax dollars or trying to prevent a tax increase.

 Councilor Gina Mason

On July 5, 2013, I requested a listing of the vehicles in the Police Department “Respectfully request a complete listing of all vehicles assigned to the Police Department with the following information: Year; Make; Model; Owned or Leased; what the vehicles are used for; mileage and when the vehicle is scheduled to be replaced.“    

As you can see, I requested the vehicle Owned or Leased.  Below is the listing Chief Brooks sent to me on July 11, 2013.

As you can see Chief Brooks did not indicate which vehicles are Owned or Leased so I had to submit yet another request to make sure Chief Brooks understood what I was looking for.  My second request was submitted on July 17, 2013 “Respectfully request an “L” be placed to the left of the year on the attach listing of Police Department vehicles to indicate which vehicles are leased.” 

 I received a call from the Town Clerk, Twila, stating it will be awhile before I can get this information because Chief Brooks is not sure which vehicles are leased so he has to consult with the Finance Director, Jessica Maloy, for her input.  However, the Finance Director does not have the time to go over the list and tell the Chief of Police which of his vehicles are leased.  The yearly audit is supposedly being conducted.  I assume this would take no more than 5 minutes to look at the lease file to determine which vehicles are leased.

For the past three years, Chief Brooks has told the people and the Town Council he was working on a life cycle management program.  A life cycle management program is established to replace vehicles on yearly basis in order to spread out the cost to the taxpayers.  

How could he be working on this program for three years without any results?  The answer is simple; (1) he is not working on any such program and has no intentions of doing so and (2) if after three years of working on this program and he has no clue which vehicles are on lease there is no hope at all of ever having such a program in Lisbon.  

 If you look at the above listing you will see that Chief Brooks has scheduled to replace four (4) vehicles next year.

 Can we really afford the latest and greatest vehicles for our Police Department?  Are you ready for another tax increase to pay for Chief Brooks’ empire?

Larry, I am sure Brooks knows exactly how many vehicles are leased or owned. He does keep meticulous records. Are the detective vehicles included in this list? Why is there only one 2013 listed, what about this years vehicles? This list appears incomplete. Thanks for doing all this research.

Excellent work Larry.

Too damned bad that everyone involved isn't thrown right in Jail! I find it preposterously absurd that Lisbon Police Chief Being the Piece of Shit that he is hasn't been forced to leave. Funny how "Up Country" in Fairfield, their police department gets an audit by: "Beginning June 17, the Maine Chiefs of Police Association will conduct a comprehensive audit of the department." Here is the original story, http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/Fairfield-PD-audit-to-pave-way-for-new-chief-new-direction.html?searchterm=Fairfield+Police . AND Another: http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/Auditors-to-host-forum-on-improving-Fairfields-Police-Department.html?searchterm=Fairfield+Police .

Who is the Senior Chief of Police in the State of Maine Currently, none other than your piece of shit Police Chief David T. Brooks. So is there any "thin blue line" of protection being used to protect him? Of Course there is. Nepotism and Cronyism is rampant in Lisbon with citizens' Tax Dollars.

Just look at what I "under~the~covers" exposed while I was a resident of Lisbon Falls. At least I went to Brooks' and told him what was coming down. And that is for a later date. Larry you have inspired me. You have renewed my faith in man-kind. You are friggin' awesome. And I want to help. What I know of and have previously posted on TLR is backed up by either written documentation and/or recordings. But I am not going to waste my time with any 'Tin-badged' representative of the State of Maine, such as MDEA Detective Seth Blodgett or the putrid persona of the likes of Assistant Attorney General Brian McMasters. Both are "nepotist" supporters of David T. Brooks.

Larry, Ask Brooks what happened to the DARE Corvette?

What happened to the other Truck from the BNAS that Brooks has listed on your list? He had two Navy Blue Chevrolet CG3150's. Plus What happened to the Old Dodge Camouflage 1 ton P/U with the wooden camo. body rack?

Sgt. 'Steroid' Stewart using that someplace? Or is it being used to haul food for "Jelly Belly" Kelly?

Is 'Willie Wonka' Williams using the Chevy Van to fill out misleading and incomplete Accident reports cause Maine Recycling is giving Kick Backs?

Really, Inquiring Minds Ought To Know About This Stuff IF They Truly Want To Help. Otherwise I bid you all Good Luck and there is a Wonderful and Great Life outside of Lisbon, Maine.

Why isn't the ATV on Brook's list of vehicles?
The one that the police had in the Moxie parade?
At an officers house? or maybe Denise Bowie's?
The police department also has a boat and trailer. or maybe those do not count as vehicles?!
