WCDC Officer Removed From Gang Intell Unit


"Officer Oscar Arce has been removed from the WCDC gang unit. This was the brain child of William Hardin (review previous posts regarding Mr. Hardin). Officer Arce was supportive in Mr. Hardin's recent legal battles. Seems retalition from Col. Kimble and Director Devenyns is the order of the day.

Officer Arce found, wrote and recieved grant money that has been put to good use at WCDC. This money was used to provide new equipment and computers for WCDC as a whole under the guise of gang intervention.

Officer Arce has been transfered to the 3 to 11 shift. Officer Arce has cleaned out his office. Lookout Officer Turner for you are the only one left in the office.

I know these details are few because no reply to my many phone calls have been forthcoming. I realize that officers can be moved at will under the premise of best utilized for security and to prevent overtime. It does seem very suspious at the person moved and the timing.

I am sure other agencies will take note of this and be more than willing to take advantage of Officer Arce's training and talents.

Perhaps others can fill in the details as to why this action was taken."

Oscar is a good man and knows more about what goes on in WCDC than any of the administration. The intell unit provided a great deal of gang information to law enforcement. Unfortunately, some are threatended by intelligence in more ways than one.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Retaliation by Devenyns. How much turmoil is this man going to be able to create until Rick Pollitt says enough is enough and terminates him?

Kimble doens't like the gang unit. He is closing it down. This is just the first step. Mark my words.

1:09 phullleeeeeseee. Ricky fire somone? who? when? I don't think the man would/could fire James Earl Ray or Sirhan Sirhan. I like Rick as a person - always have but he needs to grow a set and fire people. Remember the landfill? remember the tv press conference where he said many others were soon going to be fired? yeah, righttttttt. You can NOT get fired in Wicomico County. Period.

Kimble is at it again, just like he did at ECI. Ifhe didn't like you or whatyou did he would try and ruin you by setting you up. Kimble also did't like any program that was not totally pro inmate and would sabatoge it or shut it down. Just shows you once a crooked Officer / staff member / Administrator always a crooked one.

Oscar was appointed to this administrative position by ddd, it was a promotion and raise not a lateral move. kimble screwed up there was no disciplinary action taken on Oscar to justify being sent back to the trenches that he worked hard to get out of, just kimbles personal vendetta for hardin and oscar staying intouch. sad day but we welcome you back oscar

well maybe they should look at all aspects of the wcdc. After the riot a few wks ago Kimble has locked down cell block C not the fed pod the one next to it those guys are in lock down for 30 days because kimble states someone from this pod gave a mop to the federal inmate. Maybe they should consider not housing federal inmates someones got to take the wrap for what happened maybe kimble should take the blame and let the inmates get the hour a day out of their cell instead of 15 mins every other day and now they arent allowed to shower but every other day. This doesnt promote a sanitary environment. As well as the inmates that should be in lock down should be the ones that did actually hit and hurt the Correctional Officers. I don't know somethings just not right. I think WCDC is borderline on the legal rights of inmates. Kimble obviously has some control issues.

And yet, nothing will be done about this, at least for now. Maybe Arce was asking too many questions, like....how does Kimble get a full-time paycheck when he is NEVER there. Hold on Oscar, the county can only stonewall Hardin's lawsuit for so long.

Officer arce was a trainer at the academy when my class went through there. He was a good instructor and a good man. I hate when politics cause havoc in someones job and life. Think of the strain of having this go on plus being moved to a new work schedule

Anonymous said...

No previous warning, just show up for work and you are transfered without reason to a whole different shift the very next day...Thats fair!!! WCDC style

Speaking as a law enforcement officer, I relied heavily on intel received from officers Arce and Turner. I shared intel with them regularly. Through this mutal exchange of information many crimes were solved and prevented. All this ended when Col. Kimball became their supervisor. Kimball does not think his people should share information with others not under his control. No agency operates within a bubble.

I can assure you that other departments will take notice and will utilize Officers Arce and Turner for their knowledge and skills.

Time to F I R E Kimble

and D D D

maybe RC will sue now tooo, and get rid of the above, to help harden.

This Lit'l Kim move is obvious,
and expected, after he tried, along with, DDD to get rid of Harden.

Kimble is a long known, snake.
Ask ECI officers, they know well.

RC is a good, and well known officer here , he is smarter than
the Litl'l kim and ddd

Anonymous said...

as long as Kimble is here,

l o o k for more trouble

that is who he is, and always has
been.

The county messed up when they hired him BIG TIME

A shame , because the employees
who are under his rule, suffer
until he is gone. What about them?

Don't worry, the Good will Prevail


RC is a good officer, so he wins,
Not Litl' Kimbal, or DDD


The sheriffs are hiring, and any
other police place would take RC

RC don't need a stinking jail job
Go P O L I C E it's more $$$$

Anonymous said...

send Kim off to prison, like his cousin, lit'l kim

RC will be assist warden soon,
with Harden as Warden.

Get used to it, it is coming.

DDD will be gone, along with his
side kick Kimble.

Internal Affairs will be ran by
Puuugy

root out kimbal and his side kicks

he is the head of racism at wcdc

the place is bad enough to work at

without that

Anonymous said...

RC help get rid of Kimbal, he is
your biggest threat, and ours,
(the officers)here at WCDC

It has already gotten worse, far
worse, since he came here.

Many good officers are looking to leave, and are sick of this place.

Why should they have to leave??
make Kimbal and his cronies leave
instead. You and Harden can make it happen, we support you both.
We are sick and tired of being
harassed, being disriminated against, on a daily basis, it needs
to stop. This is a Hostile Work
Environment, and it is illegal, what is going on.

Contact the EEOC . That will
fix things here.

Also, the Human Relations Commission.

The Feds will straighten out this
place, just report it to them.

Go and get em............

Do WCDC a Big Favor, oust them
once and for All, for the good of All..........send them to DOC on
Thur mourning...........

Finally, Arce left WCDC, he was hired by Worcester County. A lot of his former fellow Officers are sad to see him going, but they understand, the economic future is better for him in Worcester County.

Besides, we have to remember, He outfough Kimble, Roberts and Devilnys, and stood by his friend Harden during his troubles.

Arce is a capable, brilliant man with an impressive resume that past his many "Quirks" is a great and loyal friend. A fierce fighter I always wanted him with me in any "Suit ups" or brawls.

It is a shame that some people never got past their bigotry and racism, and never gave Arce the credit he desserved,but the ones who know him personally appreciate him and love him.

Good luck to you my friend, I will be in touch.
