July discussion of Sheriff Christenson

Year after year, the treadmill of unbelievable behavior and outrageous actions at the Stanislaus Sheriff’s Department continues to go round-and-round, costing us money, safety and trust.    The Sheriff’s Department is the organization entrusted to by us, and empowered by law to carry out these functions.

Sustained dysfunction and cultural cruelty within any organization can only be placed at the feet of its leader.  Period – the tone and buck starts and stops at the top.   That is where I am laying it – Directly on the shoes of Adam Christianson.   

Moving forward
Our next Sheriff will be Jeff Dirkse, we look ahead to the task he has at hand.   With the Modesto Bee reporting “Stanislaus County Sheriff candidates strike conciliatory tone as election concludes”, the right things are being said.  The question is “will the right things be done?”
