Good Morning and Happy New Year to all.
The CMPD pledge fund seems to be a reoccurring topic in the comments. I know many of you took a pretty big hit. I also know CMPD retired who got a nice check in the past.
I understand most of you have received the Sergeant Shultz answer (I hear nothing I say nothing I know nothing) from HR and the wihte shirts.
Anyone care to share their thoughts? On or off the record? I have a local media contract who has an interest.

All I know is now retired Ed Williams was the treasurer and made sure to get his immediately upon retirement as opposed to waiting like everyone else. He’s now a hire back in cold case if anyone wants to hear his opinion. My thoughts are he saw it was gonna tank and made sure he got his before it did. Ed, tell me I’m wrong.
Its a ponzi scheme. Its like working for ACN. People making money off other people. The people at the end of the pole get screwed over. That's what happened..people stopped contributing. None of the recent academy grads believed that they were staying for 30 years so they didn't contribute...and they were smart kids.
Stop whining about the money. You would have just went to Paper Doll with the money, anyways.
I don’t know if this is true but I heard Geoege Laughrun is the attorney representing the officers who got their money took...
this ought to be a good one to watch
The pledge fund was nothing but a ponzi scheme. But unlike most who scam folks out of their money and promise big returns there will be no criminal prosecution for the thieves within the dept. Those who contributed for many years are now just left holding the bag with no hope of recouping any of the funds contributed. Meanwhile, the Ed Williams of the dept. are enjoying the spoils. Karma is a bitch!
Wait...the Paper Doll is still open???!!!
I got $11,000.00 (Tax Free) in Pledge money 5 years ago. I wonder how much Williams got of it. Its a damn shame that the Officers who actually survived that place will not get any extra cash.
Best guess is somewhere around 2008:is when it “disappeared”. Anyone recall what happened in 2008? For those that weren't here, which is 67%.... its when the Ivory Tower got a facelift and butter bars came to be after the rack’em scandal. All useless additions to the department. How is there no record of this money???? The “excuse” is more retired than anticipated retired which overloaded the fund. BS, that’s a bold face lie to make many shrug their shoulders and accept it. The department didn’t retire 100 per year since, do the math. So glad I never contributed. Hopefully the truth will come out and all involved will burn. It’s amazing what one will do for a promotion......was there 30 pieces of silver in the pledge fund?
i retired in 2015 and got my money, if that helps.
Anyone see the report from WSOC last night where Mayor Lyes says more policing is not the answer? I say we grant her request. Its easy add 5 mins to response times and look the other way when you see something. Most the dumbasses think we risk our lives in a gun fight they don't understand that any time we respond to call we are risking our lives. SHP Motor Cop was the wakeup call for me. Less policing is good less paperwork less time sitting at the courthouse. My promise you need me I'm there pronto, they need me screw em! I've had way too many near misses crossing Eastway. 8 in the last year by my count.
Cedar you ain’t gonna get no straight answer from anybody “in the know” cause they watchin their six and their buddies six so they can milk the last few dollars outta the fund on they way out the door.
Find out how much o dat cash Foster got if you can. i bet she got hers.
It's simple you were a rookie sitting in the academy. A human resources rep ,on city time , told you he/she just wrote a retiree a check for 10,000 dollars (tax free). Because this retiree was in the CMPD Police Pledge Fund. The HR rep then handed out a City form for you ( brand new trainee ..not even a rookie) to sign...so you can be a part of this great fund too. You simply contribute 10.00 dollars every time a fellow CMPD officer retires...best thing ever...make sure you sign the HR fund so the money can come out of your city check... Fast Foward x number of years of ...no perceived problem with said fund....oops sorry we ran of money... should've never happened ...one more nail in the coffin of CMPD 's reputation. Extra bonus great morale booster. Too the person who posted quit whining about the money ..GFY
Shady AF! But mark my words no one will be held responsible. People will get $$ from the city but those responsible will just walk
This is the reason I never joined this "fund".
I wonder how many people “contributed” never actually retired from CMPD.
I worked with Van Aiken years ago before I resigned. Don’t think he’s gonna see any of that pledge money lol
As an outsider, it sounds like the city needs to get sued. If an HR rep did anything on an official letterhead, and money was taken out a check, that implies it is official, right?
And yes the PDL is still kicking. Best place in Charlotte to spend those $2 bills.
If you are gonna bring up Van Aken spell his name right. He got tossed under the bus. I've seen far worse pussy things around the LEC.
Van Aken got screwed over by his majesty King Monroe.
He was an excellent officer.
How’d he get screwed?? He assaulted a handcuffed suspect dude! That’s a pussy ass move
10:31. riiighhttt... and Officer Inch is a good officer too right? Did he come back or is he gone too?
Van Aken is an okay guy. He is stupid. The criminal played a mind game on Van Aken and won. I never saw the video, just heard what Bellamy was telling everyone at the LEC.
11:06- what happened with Inch? You talking about Harry Inch?
VanAiken won the war after he was sold down the river by our command.
Deferred prosecution and charges dropped. Works a cushy corporate job for more $$.
Gee wonder why nobody with any time on wants to police aggressively anymore.?
12:46. You must not work for CMPD if you don’t know what happened to Inch. If that’s the case don’t ask... go back to your mall cop job and don’t worry about CMPD business
Let me just search Van Aken on google. Oh, looks like a mug shot and a ton of stories about him going to jail. Is that winning the war?
@12:46. You must be joking. The mans name is really Harry Inch or is that a nickname? ha
My porno name is Hairy Seven Inch
At 3:08. He lost the battle but won the war. Old saying, if you don't know it. If we give expungments and arrest picture deletes to already convicted felons on new charges why not him?
In the end it was a few tough years but he's better off being out of this place. It's gone to the shitter. Good kid.
Why are we even talking about that old news? Let's hear some recent crap. Which cop is fucking the fat dispatcher upstairs?
Which one? They’re all fat.
How many officers are we short now? They’re dropping like flies
Officer Ferrell in Steele Creek is fucking that one fat brunette dispatcher. The one with the mole.
Fat girls need love too! Plus, they keep you really warm on cold nights... :)
Who is the fattest female officer at CMPD? I remember westover had that reallllly fat chick. She was like Samoan or something. Something tribal.
This post was supposed to be about the police pledge fund, let's stay on point. Is it truth or rumor that Williams got paid? Same question for is George Laughrun taking up this case to go after the CMPD and City? I've been retired, yes 30 years, for 18 months and I sure as hell didn't get my check. All of the emails from Jennings only say what they are doing to extinguish the fund. It's also funny how they are the only ones listed in the lawsuit. No mention of all the guys that did a full 30 years and won't get the check we were promised.
How many guys actually got screwed out of money? Like 12? C'monnnnn man!
Take one for the team and move on to a gig as a truck driver or motorcycle mechanic.
Negative 1:16. One thing the city fails to realize is most cops don’t/won’t give up without a fight. This is why they loose so many lawsuits. The RAC Sgt’s, the whole airport lawsuit etc. you name it. No matter how petty the fight we won’t quit. They should’ve learned this by now but they are too stupid to ever learn. We’re gonna fight you on this and your gonna pay us every last dime. Just doing what was taught in the academy right?? Don’t ever give up!
If Tinsley can get paid for fucking Aquino, and Hopkins can get paid for fucking Stukey, then yes our group deserves to get our pledge fund contributions back at the minimum. Apples to Apples.
3:53. That’s awesome!!!!
Yeah who needs $10,000.00 tax free dollars? HR had the deduction forms on the paperwork rack as soon as you walked into the Admin door, to the left. Deduction approval forms for the Police Pledge. I wonder if Williams printed them for HR, but HR did have knowledge.
8:26 Of course they had knowledge its printed on the paystub....every week. I hope CP was able to glean from these topic relevant post that the City (CMPD) is culpable in the Police Pledge Fund debacle. It needs to be made right...not just opps ...sorry ..heres a a couple of bucks ...now go away. To anybody who posted any non topic posts..Thanks for the wasted time...CP please have whomever is willingly to give these short changed Officers a hand ...do so. Thanks.

Go join a real police department you pussies!
EVERYONE should go to Mecksheriff.com/careers and watch their “recruitment” video. You will die laughing! You can watch as they are “dispatched” to armed robberies, their “swat” team being deployed (which is never), and other fantasies McFadden has been having.
Meck County Sheriffs Dept.......hahahahahahahahahahahaha...what a joke
That video is hilarious. So is there any validity to the MCSO/Airport rumor? Seems like King McFadden aka “I am Homicide” trying to take over everything
No validity at all. They are and will always be a joke. Basically a bunch of folks who can’t get hired by CMPD working for MCSO. I mean why would anyone want to work in a jail taking care of thugs all day? Why would anyone like to go home and say wow busy day I delivered 20 civil papers and wrote a speeding ticket to a rich person In Corneilus?
I heard something similar. I heard MCSO was taking the airport and the current airport CMPD officers would transfer to transit and be over cats and on the train.
George Laurghrun is a criminal lawyer. He isn't taking up a civil suit for the fund.
Angry short man - George also does civil. Look what he is doing for the FOP and representing the infamous airport officer
The airport officer suing Starbucks cause the latte wasn’t hot enough? Lol
No dog in the fight other than a moral one......never contributed to the pledge.
But yeah. The city and department are most definitely liable for the fund. All of the contributors who retired under the program need to be paid-out post-haste.....and all current members still working need to be reimbursed for their past contributions. Period. ad-fucking-infinitum. Or they (city and department) SHOULD have the shit sued out of them. Fuckers are paying out 10s of millions for a fucking soccer stadium.....they can fork over whatever in Hell is owed and beg forgiveness.....or hopefully a $100-million lawsuit is forthcoming. Send a message about honoring contracts and stuff.
Okay so I heard from Chip Bean...cough..I mean Chip Starr that the city has hired an accountant to close out the pledge fund. The accountant gets 1/3 of the pot. The rest of the officers that contributed will be returned what is left which might be 80 bucks a person. That's the latest news.
Chip Bean , lol. That guy is a retarded psycho 😜
So Ed Williams the hire back in cold case just gets off scott free for getting his money immediately upon retirement since he was the treasurer at the time?!
Sounds like a nice FRAUD investigation for the SBI to open up & investigate. Why not, they already handle our OIS's.
Another reason why the illegal hirebacks are a problem, CMPD would benefit if it would sever ties once employee retires ( the 1st time). Worthless hirebacks, milking the system, I see them hanging out at LEC or academy just collecting more city/state $$. This cycle needs to stop.
You guys are a hoot. A quarter care about finding out where the money has gone and a quarter wanna know who’s fking which fat azz on the third floor. the other half are munching on popcorn and taking in the show.
To all my brothers... 5 words you need to remember when you see the brass:
Bitch better have my money!
2:19 was Ed Williams. Stop by cold case and ask too see the date of his check and the ask the date of his retirement from department. Then all your questions will be answered.
Yes if Ed didn’t do anything then he should be able to show us the date of the check!
Ed says fuck y’all , he got his and y’all can go pound sand.
SHUT THE FUCK UP ALL OF YOU ON HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PLEDGE SCHEME. YOU ARE NOT GETTING YOUR 10K BONUS CHECK. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE WRITING ON THE WALLS WHEN RECRUITS WERE NOT CHIPPING IN FOR THE FUND. GO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF A SECURITY GIG AT A CORPORATION AND FORGET ABOUT CMPD IN YOUR LIFE. PEACE LOVE MY BROTHERS.
BUT WHO FUCKING WIT THAT MICHELLE HUMMELL, THOUGH? I WANT THAT.

Ed has spoken $$$...
What does everyone think of the MCSO fantasy complete lie “recruitment” video????
Gary McFadden's ego trip.
How did McFadden get Insane Clown Posse to appear in his recruitment video? Was that filmed in Cornelius?
Does MCSO have a pyramid scheme police pledge for new hires?
Glad I did my 30 and left. Good luck with the fight.
Is it any wonder why CMPD can’t keep officers. Just treat your people fairly.
Other departments (throughout the nation) give better pay, better benefits and night differential for starters.
If CMPD just gave their officers a fair deal they wouldn’t have retention issues.
Stop trashing the MCSO. CMPD is just as bad with plenty of garbage people. Its like watching two fat chicks fist fight. Its an ugly,funny situation.
Gary McFadden is loser........from CMPD. He never passed the stupid SGT exam. Now, he runs an entire agency. The whole place will be black in less than 3 years, just watch. Anyone working at the jail is a joke, but you can say the same about the LEC or Central Office.
T.H.
Vicki Foster on TV, today. Why does Channel 9 always make black officials look like they did they jobs? The CMPD is worse than ever. Romo was on TV when he left, too.
Yeah... Not a cop for sure but shes still smokin F$#@&% Hot!
ya’ll got some low azz standards if you find that trash hot.
She has a weird face, so she aint hot. Watch the interview and tell me different.
Doesn’t surprise me that some of you think she’s hot. I see who you all are married to and your judgement on beauty sucks!
Probably why the divorce rate among officers is so high. Staying single is the way to go. I probably wouldn’t be bringing that home on a Friday night
