CMPD Captain Mike Campagna Takes The Bus

If Cedar Posts CMPD sources are correct and they normally are, Mike Campagna has been thrown under the bus.

Rumor is that Campagna will report to the duty captain's office on Monday.

So it looks like back to riding dirty for the career CMPD captain. No word about his successor, maybe RoMo's hand picked Sherie Pearsall who has been "Gunning" for the job. Then again I've been told it's a captain's job so maybe not.



Major Pearsall in Action

Either way you can expect it to be one of the RoMo crowd.

RoMo didn't have much choice after the email requesting answers to the North Carolina LE Certification Exam was leaked, so someone had to be the goat.

Friday Update:

It' unofficially official Captain C. cleaned out his office late Friday afternoon. So under the bus he goes and RoMo rolls on. Local news media won't pick up the story until Monday but when they do you can add it to the long list of strange and shady things that have been going on since RoMo came to power nearly a year ago.

Unless they are changing the position to a Major's slot, you won't see Major P there. I think you'll see Pete Davis or Stella Patterson go out there

I'm thinking Dee Faulkner . . .

It's sad that it's gotten to the point where we automaticly assume the replacement will have certain "features"

Cedar readers, you're in for a shock as for Campagna's replacement: it's going to be a white male.

Major P is the major in charge of the academy now...the new captain will be working for her, this is what I hear.

She has just taken the job at the academy and has been chosen by Rod/Ray to go to the FBI academy for three months....must be so nice, get a new cushy job and take off for three months....so I guess they "created" that position for her so she won't be missed while she is gone.

Wonder how that process was "worked"? Could you apply for the slot to go to the academy? Or was it an "appointment"? As a civilian, I don't know, just asking how someone of her limited experience as a Captain and a Major was chosen?

Oh well.........

A White Male??? Rod/Ray must be getting wise...trying not to make these moves TOO freaking obvious, throw in a white male occasionally!

I still believe, from everything I have heard, that Capt. C is a hero.

(Now if he ends up making Major under Little Chief, I may have to change my mind!)

Whomever it is, you can bet your sweet butt that they were HAND PICKED by M. Pearsall.

She is Rodney's wunderkind...and as such gets her own pick of people, jobs and special training, it seems.

Are LC and Maj Pearsall more than just Boss and underling?

LOL, I don't think so.

Think about it.

Too funny (the picture)....from what I hear she can't even shoot that good and was "tutored" in her shooting so they could have a B/F on the team!!LOL

I can't wait for the day.....enjoy the ride ........cause the Rod and Ray Ray train is sure to crash.

Don't take it lying down Captain C. You and everyone knows you didn't do that on your own. Be a man........

Anonymous said...

Doesn't she have a female "significant other"?

No big deal, just don't think LC is her "type".

Anonymous said...

Oh, NOW I get it...didn't realize Maj swung that way...my bad.

Anonymous said...

No doubt his replacement will be white! Don't you get it by now? It's "black over white". Pearsall over his replacement...Rodney over Ray Ray........and the list goes on and on......there is definately a pattern here.

From what some are talking about around the water cooler, Capt Fields may be a viable candidate since he is so familiar with the academy. I still think Capt Patterson would be the front runner, and quite frankly, I think that would be a good choice. She has a reputation as a no-nonsense leader who expects greatness from her people.

Anonymous said...

Whomever it is, it will most definitely be a butt kisser and kool aid drinker, you can count on that.

Do you really think major p would want anyone other than that on "their team"?

Black, white or pink, it will definitely be a butt smoocher!

Obviously you've never seen Patterson in action.

Fields would be the better pick for the job

Agreed.

Anonymous said...

I agree, it will definitely be someone who will just be along for the ride. Won't be anyone who is an individual thinker with any ideas of their own....we know that is discouraged by the present Junta.

The abysmal horrible legacy the next Chief will inherit when rod/ray are on to greener pastures.

Spout the "party" line, or you are
sent to Siberia.

Jimmy is a good guy...too bad he'll be cut below the knees and on a leash by his new boss. At least she'll be gone for three months. It's unfortunate, Jimmy would have no problem running the academy, it's the idiot above him that will continue to ruin things.

Anonymous said...

Well, whatever you think of him, he is going to be in hell out there working for major p.....better enjoy the three months.

I have heard that he is a pretty good "politician" with self preservation being a strong suite.
I guess a certain amount of kool aid drinking under this regime is de rigeur.

Personally, from all I have heard, flying LOW under the radar seems to be the best strategy at CMPD right now....stick your head up out of the tall weeds and you are a prime target to get it shot off.

Let's hope he doesn't replicate the
"management" style of rod/ray:
Hostile, confrontational, uncooperative, discouraging, humiliating, belittling....in other words, being insufferable BULLIES!

They think they can get respect and excellence by screaming and yelling at subordinates. Yeah, that really works. I guess it makes people with underdeveloped frontal lobes feel superior. It certainly doesn't get results, only resentment. And there is PLENTY of that, from what I am told, at CMPD.

And the fear they like to instill in those subordinates is slowly fading. People are just not going to stand for being treated subhuman.

These two, rod/ray, do not need to be in law enforcement in any capacity...from what I hear.

I just hope this Fields can stand up for what is right at the academy, ethics, honor and NO LOWERING OF THE STANDARDS FOR THE SAKE OF DIVERSITY, which is just plain WRONG.

Anonymous said...

There are better choices than jimmy fields..But i guess maybe he has learned their ways of thinking since he has been Chief Putneys little one for sometime now...Fields has his own issues, oh i shouldnt say that , We should not use Major P's special phrase when she is faced with the truth and backed into a corner...She never acknowledges the truth just says "You have issues.." By the look of the photo of her she has some serious issues...Lots of luck to you people having to work there..Never would i ever be a part of this organization. It is headed down the road to a dead end..Get off the train..Romo is going to crash it

Anonymous said...

Just to update everyone, It has been visually confirmed.. Mike C packed his office today..He was seen doing the deed. He is much better off and will adjust..People like the LC dont hang around long..Just hope he takes a lot of folks with him..Lets get this department back to normalcy.

I have heard that exact thing about major p, that exact phrase "you have issues" used in the situation you described. Funny how people can get your number after a very short while.

From what I have heard, she is cut from the same exact cloth as LC. Same style, same ego.

I think many, many people would like to "get off the train", but they have families to support and retirements to think about. For sure it is going to crash, they are creating a train wreck right now. And ANYONE, really, anyone would be an improvement over rod/ray.

With just about the whole department onto them, it's just a matter of time before they implode.

People are watching, and assessing, and collecting data, so I have heard.

Cedar,
I'm telling you, you just would not believe what is going on inside the CMPD.

It challenges your imagination.

It is like being awake in a nightmare.

In all the years I have known people at CMPD, I have never, I repeat, never, seen morale as low as it is now. People are absolutely hating their jobs, hate going to work. The atmosphere could not get much worse. If firing squads were legal, I think Rodney would have use them. That is how vindictive and vengeful rod/ray are.

It is like something I have never heard before, the number of people he has alienated. Nearly everyone, except his inner circle, feels disenfranchised.

It's not a good situation.

Anonymous said...

It is quite numbing at CMPD. To "Get" into the right frame of mind, watch the movie Office Space.

Captain Fields is a good choice for the Academy, but I hate to see him move in under these circumstances.

One day these guys will be gone.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know where LC's future son in law, baby daddy has been assigned?

Is it a high crime area on midnight shift??

Yes, right!

Or is it in a low crime area on first shift...that would be a safe bet!

CMPD BLUE said...

Props to CP and his contacts for break this news.

Sad fact is that this sort of BS is happening every day at the CMPD.

RoMo as you call him is an idiot.

In all my years of wearing a badge for Mecklenburg County I have never seen such a mess.

CMPD Blue:
That is exactly what I am hearing from so many people at CMPD, you are not at all alone.

And you are right, so I am told, it is going on EVERY day.

It's like command staff is ENABLING him and his cohort, ray/ray, to continue in their dysfunctional running of the CMPD.

No one gets it....no one understands how he keeps getting away with his unethical, corrupt behavior.

As the crime numbers start going back up, and they will, you just can't sustain those manipulated numbers, they have painted themselves into a corner on this, as they keep going back up, then maybe the public will start to question what is really going on...

I hope other "entities" are already questioning all this crap and are doing some investigating.
If what I am hearing from people is correct, they are.

Once again, I have to thank Cedar Posts for having this Blog and allowing this information to get out there.

You and Keith Larson are the only media people, and Meck Deck, to comment or run stories on what is happening at the CMPD.

Thanks for allowing this to happen.

He is in the Providence Division. The only good thing about that is the Myers Park people don't care who you are and will complain on you. So if he screws up over there they will have a hard time hiding it. I worked there for years and can tell you they get special treatment.

From what I have heard, it's not a matter of if he screws up, but when.

Martha Dozier is capt over Providence. She is anal enough without having to 'supervise' part of the inner sanctum.

Word is that Maj P and Capt C. were behind the bright idea to send an email to ask for answers to help the chief out.

As the story goes the chief was doing so bad on the demo tests that C and P were willing to do anything to help him pass.

So there you have it.

I don't think this surprises anyone...does it?

This is their modus operandi, isn't it?

They don't really care about what is right and wrong, but what further advances LC's little career, that is THE BOTTOM LINE.
