After hearing of this questionable leadership decision from Sheriff Mike Lewis I asked the eatery patrons was there any other questionable things that the long service employees endured. I was shocked with the response from the patrons. I was told of a few more questionable actions by the Wicomico County Sheriff Department. The major questionable action that was experience was that upon the return of the Deputies from Workers Compensation claims that the Deputies were forced to pay back over $600 a month which they were unaware of or could plan for.
Throughout the conversation I kept asking myself is this the way we treat Veterans and long service employees? I hope that we do not treat our civil servants this way after they put their life on the line day in and day out. Our Deputies are doing many jobs that we do not want to do nor provide them a thank you for doing. I believe we owe it to them and ourselves to hold Sheriff Mike Lewis and his staff accountable for the way that they are treating their employees who have been hurt in the line of duty and work every day to make Wicomico and the surrounding area better for you and I. Please join me in attempting to get better answers and treatment for our injured Deputies.
Nothing like going down the rabbit hole of workers comp injuries with incomplete information. How about letting the doctors do what doctors do. Workers comp has checks and balances that are very favorable to the workers already.
ReplyDeleteI thank you for writing this thoughtful letter defending those deputies. I only wish it would matter.
ReplyDeleteI think it's kind of shady that you are airing this out here...
ReplyDeleteAgreed 100%
DeleteWhat you fail to realize is, in the past, with many law enforcement departments, not just the WCSO, employees who are on “light duty” get comfortable with being in that position. If they are people who work “shift work”, it is much more beneficial for them to work a non-rotating shift. Therefore, there is no incentive to return to active duty. This puts a strain on the rest of the department as there are a limited number of employees to cover those shifts. It makes perfect sense to have “light duty” employees rotate their shifts to minimize the impact on the department and other employees. By rotating someone in light duty, they can, at least, sit at the desk and answer telephones and help dispatch other employees. Then, if needed, the supervisor on the desk can jump in the car and assist/backup employees on the road since there is a capable person to sit and answer the phones and make critical decisions. It is nothing more than managing available resources and maximizing the benefit to the department. Why should someone on “light duty” only work DAY shift? Just because they can’t “patrol” doesn’t mean they shouldn’t rotate with their shift or work a rotational shift. Anything that they could do “during the day” they could do at night. However, some things that they could help with “at night” can’t be done during “the day”. Leave the management of employees to the supervisors and command staff. No one comes in and tells you how to manage your resources. Mike was voted into office to make these decisions. Trust him to make these calls. This is nothing more than a bunch of whining employees who want to work day shift and not rotate shifts. Maybe that’s why they are being rotated...they have gotten too comfortable. Before you give advice on how to run the department, remember this old adage...you should never take advice from someone who doesn’t have to live with the consequences. Mike has to live with them. You don’t. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteOnly on light doing based on agency policy. If your not fit when the time limit ends bye. Also occupational health dr examen the person immediately upon return. The doctor can share ALL YOUR health information to the boss. If you refuse your fired. If dr says you can return to active duty and your specialist says no, your fired. Worcomp injury is the same but add a nurse and additional dr. If you refuse to be seen, your fired and medical cut off. Also during this time you will be BLACK BALLED and career will be over... Bloggers MSM will keep pushing the thin blue line crap. It’s all Bs.
DeleteExactly correct...
DeleteThe employees you speak are not being rotated with there shifts they are assigned as dispatchers. These employees are not comfortable the Sheriffs offices makes sure of that. Two of the employees have destroyed knees, one employee has one hand that works, and finally the last employee has a hurt foot. The hurt foot can’t be bad right???? The employee takes a iv antibiotics every morning at 6 am for his slightly injured foot.
DeleteI actually know all of the Deputies this happened to. One of the Deputies is retiring this month due to his injury and has endured two serious surgeries. The other Deputies also has endured serious surgeries. Why would Sheriff Lewis do this to his injured Deputies, that got injured in the line of duty. Would he and his administration if injured work 11 hour rotating shifts? Our Law enforcement men and women deserve better than this.
ReplyDeleteSure you do.
DeleteGossip at the eatery , I know the eatery and the gossip spreads like wild fire , this is all a bunch of crap . Even if it' were true I see nothing wrong with it , get a life and stop the BS .
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!!!!!! When you get half off or eat for free in makes LEO patron those places ! Like WaWa Rofo and others .... When there’s LEO presence at those places less crime statistics say happens... If you give them half off and they eat for free your fecal matter trucks don’t get checked in DOT the way they’re supposed to it also helps to have retired DOT on the payroll. Having other joint businesses and sleeping together has nothing to do with it but those also help.
DeleteSounds like whine whine whine.
ReplyDeleteI recently have spoken with one of the injured. He told me that the Sheriffs Office nor the FOP have yet to reach out to him to tell him how they're going to help him and the other three in this matter. Oh wait, did everyone forget...... what about the injured Deputy that was let go years ago and still has not recieved disability? YOU BETTER WAKE UP DEPUTIES! Young ones, get out and move on to more stable ground! Veterans at this point you have no choice but to hold on. Good news things can change. Stay strong and hang on. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU GUYS AND YOUR FAMILIES AND ARE READY TO FIGHT WHEN THE WATERS ARE RIGHT. Till then, stay safe!
ReplyDeleteThank you! ❤️👍🏻
Delete0841 Its called healing. MSP policy for lite duty is 8 hour shifts no nights. Three of these deputies were not assigned to rotating shifts prior to their lite duty
ReplyDeleteThis isn’t an MSP issue. It’s WCSO. What does MSP policy have to do with the Sheriffs Office? Who cares what MSP does
DeleteIf they were “healing”, they wouldn’t be out walking through WalMart, going to the gym or many other activities. If they can do those things, they can certainly sit in a chair and answer phones for 11 hours. The Sheriff cannot ask them to perform any duty that isn’t medically approved by their doctor. None of these people are injured, to the point, that they can’t sit in a chair and answer a telephone.
DeleteIf they want to be governed by MSP policy, go to the State Police Academy and become a Trooper. Pretty simple concept. They are Deputies, not Troopers.
DeleteThis Corrupt County Govt has always treated staff like shht
ReplyDelete& the county jail officers were treated far worse !!
Look at the turnover & cases that Prove it . And the
so-called personnel board was just Kangaroo Court , who's
minds were made up before you went in the door !!!!
This sheriff is just one of the good ole boys, ass kissers who
gets to act like he is Hitler with all the power (too much)
just as the jail Wardens were allowed to behave . FACT !!
All who reported their wrong doings were Ousted from their jobs & Nothing was done by any Govt they were reported to >> ALL covered up & swept Under the rug !!!
You cant compare the deputies to the criminals the jail hires. That place is an f'ing joke. Do some research before you compare those two places, not saying all those deputies are totally innocent because everyone has done things in our pasts but the jail is ridiculous.
Delete👍🏻
Delete“If you would know the truth, Walk a mile in his shoes...”
ReplyDeleteBeing a "tenured" long term EMPLOYEE does not exclude them from the rules, or from assignments of duty. I have high suspicions of the "viewer's motives.
ReplyDeleteClean up the Sherriff's department. Too many left overs from the nepotistic days when it was brothers uncles and cousins all working there.
ReplyDeleteTry Selbyville. I hear they have a donut allowance.
ReplyDeleteIt's obama's fault , he screwed up everything.
ReplyDeleteDamn right he did !!!!
Deleteeverybody is missing the point. deputies have 10 hr shifts and 8 hrs shifts deputies have no 11-12 hr shifts only overtime. so i agree this dosent seem like a fair thing that Sheriff Lewis has done. Why add hours to a deputy aready on light duty. every deputy knows that no one in sheriff lewis administration would ever work 11-12 hr rotating shifts on light duty thats the problem a double standard
ReplyDeleteDing, ding, ding! This one got the pint!!!!
DeleteHow much lighter does duty get in the Sheriff's department ? They don't do much to begin with. How do you get injured delivering a subpoena ?
ReplyDeleteWow!! Been served much?? Yours is coming!
DeleteJanuary 5 @ 8:41 am, and alll others defending the sheriff’s actions, glad to see the staff is awake early on a Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, care to defend how certain, select deputies, do get daywork light duty, regardless of where they were assigned prior? Why are just these deputies back on shift? Did they make the guy angry? Or was it just one or two of them, but he had to hammer all of them them to cover his actions?
Regardless, this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as how they treat the deputies there, and just another example of how the rank and file are viewed in contempt by the sheriff and staff.
Your response shows your mentality Mr. “light duty”. 8:41 ISN’T “early on a Sunday”. 8:41 is actually a “normal” time. Go back to sleep Mr Light Duty.
DeleteThis is a disgrace to treat these veteran officers this way. It’s a very sad way to thank these civil servants all having at least 20 years. These are not men asking for handouts. These are humans hurt in the line of duty as they “serve and protect “. The lack of loyalty Mike Lewis is showing them should be of great concern. Not only to these current deputies trying to adapt to their new way of life now being disabled. It’s also an indication of what’s to come for any or all of our current “men in in blue”. How well can they really attempt to serve and protect us if they have to fear being hurt in the line of duty. Because, they know one sign of injury and Mike Lewis will toss you in his pile of lost and forgotten disabled veterans. This sickens me if any civilian had abused deputies of the department all hell would break loose. So why are we allowing Mike Lewis to do these. One of the Deputies even has just under 30 years of service. They are not just users milking the system they all have over 20 years of service. To allow it to be okay and be complacent is problematic to wicomico county and America.
ReplyDeleteMike Lewis will jump in front of the camera and claim to be ready to defend the constitution and yet he won’t defend his own.
It’s repulsive to see prior comments saying “they may get comfortable”.
There is no comfort for these noble men hurt in the line of duty knowing that their entire sense of normal will no longer exist. Because they chose to serve and protect their communities now their ability to serve and protect the people they love has been compromised..... THEY ARE DISABLED . There’s no comfort in knowing you will never be able to play ball with your son again. SMH... Shame on anyone who doesn’t for one second consider these officers and prepare to share this information and bring about reform. Clearly these men were working 8hour shifts prior to being injured. Now the reward is 11 hour shifts, And rotating shame on us all if we allow this to be okay. This is not the American Way.
Thank you! I agree!
DeleteIf you people only knew.....
ReplyDeleteIs it legit for people who are on workman's comp to work at other jobs at the same time?
ReplyDeleteOr draw disability and work full time doing what he claims he is disabled to do???
DeleteMike Lewis appears to be adding insult to injury yet again. To further demeaning these deputies but having them to report to someone who is not even in their chain of command. This entire situation seems mighty punitive. Disabled, injured in the line of duty and being punished and mistreated.

ReplyDeleteI would agree that this does look a bit shady being posted like this.. there is always 2 sides to every situation, and the truth of it is usually somewhere in the middle.
We appreciate the hard (and very risky) work of our deputies and we want them to be treated right. But there are always a few in any employment situation that will try to take advantage of circumstances like these described. Hopefully that isn't the case here.
It is very difficult for us as readers to make any kind of informed judgement since we certainly don't have all the facts. Hopefully it is being handled properly.
My guess is that if it isn't, Joe will eventually know and shine the light on it.
Till then it might be best to leave it as a personnel matter.
I am glad someone actually said something on this blog.
DeleteI spoke to the Sheriff personally last week. Over the frustration and discuss on how my husband is being treated! Some people have no idea unless you have lived it.
I am respectfully giving my Sheriff, that I have known nearly my entire life and supported and voted for. Time to address this matter with eyes open to what we discussed.
My husbands knee is destroyed! And is facing another surgery! He has been living in severe pain and walks with a permanent painful limp! Everything has been well documented to his injury
He has worked every day Mon-Fri.since his return. Doing taxi cab permits, cold cases and filing. Why change that now?? He is only appox. 30 days out to retire and has been waiting six months to go! The county is taking too long! And it is true about the hellacious expense when they return to work. Trust me it is not worth it to be injured in the line of duty!
I have put the ball in the Sheriffs court. Thank you!
Life is not a bowl of cherries. Without ALL the facts this is just playing with ourselves.
ReplyDeleteGet hurt in a vehicle accident and just try to find a doctor. It's all about the money and your medical coverage won't cover it.
What are they doing sitting around anyway? As to the repayment I've had employers that deducted the $15 daily jury stipend from my next paycheck if I didn't sign it over to them.
Lots of people don't get paid by their employer when on jury duty
DeleteThey could always go to work for the deputy that runs his paving / contracting business while he’s on duty.
ReplyDeleteWho ?
DeleteI have learned first hand many of the powers that run Wicomico County are not only narcissistic, self-serving, ego maniacs, but worse is they are immoral, unethical, and if the truth about all of them could be magically extracted in some way, you would see the leaders of Wicomico are nothing but organized crime, Mafia, the Mob. This is not my opinion, I have lived it, seen it, been there for the secret County meetings, heard the phone calls, watched the real quid-pro-quos take place at the expense of innocent county employees. I have the documents, the letters, the texts, the e-mails and it all means nothing, for now. Bob Culver is nothing but a puppet of Wayne Strausburg. Wayne makes all the final decisions, which are on a basis of money, not whats ethically right, or morally correct. Shame on Bob for being such a sissy. I'm a registered Republican, but maybe a few changes need to take place. Hell, it certainly can't get any worse. God Bless all of you currently injured Deputies from Wicomico, especially the one who has been fighting for their deserved disability for 5 years. By the way Wicomico citizens, did you know that for 20 years the County government opposed the Sheriff's Office from acquiring a disability pension controlled by a unbiased, outside source. Because the current system in place was so pitiful, in 2014 the FOP finally gave in and excepted something that was better than nothing, which was a disability plan controlled and operated by the county, the county has the final say if you are approved, and best of all, Deputies have no right to be involved in the entire process, nor their attorneys, and you can't appeal their decision in any way. And apparently, when someone does go over the County's "head" to oppose the legality of that, they County will only approve one of their own Circuit Court County Judges to hear the case, who, by the way, won't make a ruling so that the case can't be forwarded to the Maryland Court of Appeals. You can't appeal a ruling if there is no ruling. Don't think I'm telling the truth. Ask the 17 year veteran Sergeant who was fired 5 years ago, for getting rear-ended by a car, on duty, at a stop light, suffered two extreme back surgeries, and was told by several Chief Neurologists from "real" hospitals that they can no longer be a law enforcement officer because of all the prosthetic discs and hardware in his back. I know because I am his friend, and very honored to be. But he's being legally advised to be patient, "the FOP will take care of him". The most ethical, moral, thoughtful person you will ever meet. Oh, I forgot, apparently all the FOP board members work for the Sheriff. How much can they really do? Really. How could you let this happen Mike Lewis? Show these guys your real power! Where's the press? This is a real story. Where are the journalists? Outsiders have no right to comment on what they have no clue about. God Bless you all!
ReplyDeleteTrue to all of it!! Thank you!!
DeleteI stand with any police officer injured in the line of duty and anything I can do for either of you I will if I'm able. Praying for all of you and your families. As someone who is very familiar with this profession, getting hurt is another stress you dont need. Hopeing you guys heal and get relief.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shane! ❤️🙏🏻
DeleteShane T Baker for Sheriff!
DeleteYou mean the Shane Baker that sits in his house for most of his shift? Or is scared of his own shadow? Please, this laughable!
Delete12:12 sign your name like he did. To me it speaks volumes of Shane's character to say what he said and sign his name to it. I know all I need to know about you when you signed ANONYMOUS. COWARD.
DeleteHere is some background on why I posted what I posted and signed my name to it....
DeleteI watched a good friend of mine go through a really ruff time trying to get disability after getting hurt as a Deputy. He felt pretty alone as he went through the process. One of the Deputies we speak of I graduated the police academy with. One of the Deputies I grew up with and worked with for twenty years. One of the Deputies in my opinion is one of the best Detectives I've ever worked with. The fourth always is in a good mood and very positive. All of these men I would call my friend. I dont want them to feel alone. We talk about PTSD in our jobs, well if they have any PTSD plus this it's enough to drive someone crazy. I wanted them to know that there are people who will support them. Maybe some of them called or came to me. I'm not going to turn my back on them. As far as the ANONYMOUS person that says I sit home for most of my shift and am scared...... PLEASE call the Sheriffs Office and ask to speak to my supervisor and if this is found to be true I will gladly take the consequences or call me. Let's not make this about me. Let's focus our energy to help these deputies. Remember until its PROVEN that neither one of these five men dont deserve workers comp, disability ect it's our job as officers of the law and citizens of this great county to support the men and women who dedicated their lives protecting us. This is my position and I will not deviate from it!
Hahaha 2:20 sign their name like you did?
DeleteThe Sheriff has displayed a pattern of disrespect and abuse towards veteran employees for years. This isn’t new, but it is coming to the surface. The hard truth is if you’re employed by the Sheriffs office and you don’t lick the Sheriff and his command staff brass, you aren’t worth anything. The Sheriff and his command staff walk around the office in a line taking turns to see whose sphincter smells best. The hard facts of why veteran deputies that are injured are pushed out is because on disability retirement they make more money than the command staff. The truly sad part is the command has been in effect for years under the sheriff and done no police work, they simply churn each other’s butter and slap it on the Sheriffs biscuit. Sickening.

ReplyDeletelook if you were say a teacher or other career field, I could understand being upset with getting injured at work. You are not teachers, you are cops, what did you think you were signing up for? get to carry a gun and boss people around all day? doesn't work like that. The process works and if you don't want to or can't do the job then choose another career field. Many people have had to before you. Maybe you shoulda taken school a little more seriously so you would be more marketable.
ReplyDeleteThis should be a lesson at all! The government will toss you aside just like any other organization when you are no longer useful!
we all pay for our mistakes!
Just like vets.
DeleteThe physical standards are set by the Maryland Police Training Commission
ReplyDeleteSheriff Lewis can not have one set of regs for one deputy and another set for a different employee no matter how long they have been there
. The standard is the same for everyone
Everybody there gets to work shift work what makes this group special
Assignments are what assignments are, they knew that when the raised their hands and were sworn in
The Deputies wanted the 10 hour shifts they whinnied until it was implemented years ago
The got collective bargaining which no other county employees have
(Teachers have bargaining not directly with the County)
They have paid sick leave if line of duty it is workers comp
They are all classified as essential employees under family medical leave act
which means after the length of time for recovery is up they
1 can report for work and meet the standard report where assigned
2 resign
3 retire at .02 % x years of service
20 years get them 40 % of their salary at the time they put their papers in then they can get another job if they want
The County does not have a method to compensate a line of duty injury for the deputies or any other county employee if they can not return to work after getting injured on the job
They can file for disability the county gov will fight it if you can drive you won't get disability
Mike has to follow the regs like all other county Dept heads he can not change anything within county government
By the way after they retire there is no cost of living provide in the retirement plan for any county employee except the teachers.
If you think they are being treated bad go to a Council meeting and get the HR regs changed .
the deputies needs to put their big boy pants on and decided if they want the job or not
No your wrong... 66 2/3 plus contributions basically 70 percent of income tax free on the job. All medical is paid for free no copay for injury... ssd is based on 40 hours a week not “ If you can drive your not disabled”. Leo service connected retirement Depends on who you are and how your injury is. Some get retirement and others return. It’s all in the fit for duty dr. Some are morons like yourself and others are ok. Thank you. Remember reading makes you smarter.
DeleteState/federal law is 66 2/3 If service connected. Fit for duty doc says your not fit. 100 percent disabled from LE. Plus your 401k is not penalized. Fact.
DeleteIncorrect retired gets cost of living. I’m on it.
DeleteAs a tenured employee with the county and NOT a member of the WCSO command staff, I don't understand what the issue is other than some BS whining. Let's face it, 3 of the 4 deputies that are being discussed in this post haven't worked a combined 10 years of shift work between the 3 of them. They have spent the majority of their careers in cake positions where they have had nights, weekends and holidays off. Mind you now, I am not saying that they didn't work hard in their duty assignments but it wasn't like being on shift work. They are not being asked to work a made up shift. They will be working the same shifts as the dispatchers at the office that make half as much as the deputies. Out of a 28 day cycle, they will only be working 7 night shifts. One of the weeks, they will only be working 2 days and off the other 5. Then they will rotate back to day shift. Only working 14 days total out of 28. Does that really sound that bad. I bet there are a lot of people that wouldn't mind working 5 days one week then 2 days the following. Plus why should county residents pay the salaries of 4 deputies to sit around the office 5 days a week and play on Facebook or Google when they can be assisting dispatch or the shift that is working at night if need be. This is nothing new. If a road patrol deputy is injured then comes back to work on light duty, the majority of the time they rotate with their assigned shift. The only difference here is 3 of the 4 deputies have a daywork assignment that they cannot fullfil because they aren't cleared to act as police officers if they are needed to. To make it sound like these deputies are being totally punished is Ludacris. If they were civillians and not cops, they would have had to find other jobs by now.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Todd Richardson, I believe rank of Captain go out on disability from another police department and come to wicomico county sheriff's Dept? Not bad when the cards are stacked in your favor (buddies with Lewis) draw retirement from another agency and become third in command in Lewis' gastapo

Panties in a bunch?
Bottom line is, these employees are STILL BEING PAID THEIR FULL SALARY. As such, they should be working. If my tax dollars are paying them, I want them working. It is the Sheriff’s responsibility to determine what type of work each and every employee should be doing. Those work assignments change from time to time based on circumstances and organizational need. These modifications are made because the employee can’t perform their assigned job function. Nobody cares that they are being directed to sit, answer phones and dispatch Deputies. At least Mike isn’t allowing them to sit home and collect a paycheck for doing nothing. He is maximizing his resources.
ReplyDelete9:39 nobody cares! he got paid and is still getting paid? correct? What's the problem? you crying cause your hubby choose poorly when it came to a job?
ReplyDeleteAsk the production line poultry workers at perdue what they think about your complaints?
Think they would love to be in your hubby's position!
If the FOP truly is not representing you, the four of you and the other deputy that was terminated have a good case for a law suit against the FOP for not doing there job. You five need to get together drive across the bridge and get representation.
ReplyDeleteLawyers already involved.
DeleteExactly. DO NOT use the FOP lawyers. They are worthless and are in bed with the Admin. Get a good private civil attorney and get the ball rolling. Most people only feel the pain when it comes from their pockets.

Egotistical tyrant is a harsh phrase to describe Captain Richardson. He does his job. Maybe that's what you don't like?
This is nothing new for the Sheriff's Office. Let's begin with the writer of this article. The writer of this article is a deputy sheriff and/or his wife. This is the only way they can make their feelings known without retribution from Lewis. A glad hander, Mike Lewis has always been out for Mike Lewis. He is a classic politician in the sense that he will shake your hand, hug you and then turn around and bad mouth you as soon as you leave. He cares nothing for his staff, nothing for their service to the community, and nothing for the community itself. His position, and all of his employees, and we the community only are here to serve his ego. Favorites, who kiss his ass, get promoted or good assignments. Those who go to work, work and go home, and don't kiss his ass, get nothing except a paycheck.
ReplyDeleteRecall that Lewis only managed four people prior to his election as a Sheriff. Almost got federally indicted with his shenanigans down south with deputies, and surrounds himself with yes men. While on his trips teaching he frequently is a ladies man, as he is about town as well, bedding down with whoever he finds in the barn.
If you think Mike Lewis likes you, you are sorely mistaken. You are a tool for his ego and reelection.
The man has no respect for his people or the citizens, calling them idiots, F ups and morons in private with his cronies.
He also has commented many times that he loathes the law enforcement officer bill of rights and wishes he could fire people indiscriminately whenever his temper permits.
He is a bigot, having regularly used racial slurs in the past in his career as a trooper.
All in all, Lewis exhibits the classic narcissistic personality disorder and sociopathic behaviors that many tyrants and people in power exhibit.
Lewis and SU’s Chief are of the same breed apparently with their behavior and personality disorders.
DeleteWow brutally honest.

Kathy Townsend, Micha Stauffer, Kim Miles, Terry Dunn, Mrs Goznel, Mr Cody, Andy Turner plus many many more....... do your research before you make yourself look uneducated. By the way who says Shane is running?
Delete**** shane told me that he was warned by a BOE member prior to his first day at wi hi to be careful, Brady dont want you here******. Dont believe me call and ask him.
4:27, I find it amusing that you call out an anonymous poster, while remaining anonymous yourself.
DeleteWell there is 90 plus comments on here. Ive seen ONE police officer say something, sign it and stand behind it and that speaks volumes to me. Good for you young man, good for you!
ReplyDelete3:47.......
ReplyDeleteAre we referring to the CHILDREN that Mr Albero so graciously keeps us up to date on that are beating up staff and students in our schools? Dont make it sound as if it's such a wonderful place. Keep it real please.
After many calls and much reading of this article can we turn our attention back on the subject at hand please? As for my run for Sheriff, I'm in the last few months prior to my retirement date. Just like many I have considered running for the SHERIFF OF WICOMICO COUNTY . I have made no decision. Out of respect for my Sheriff if I make such a decision he would be one of the first to know it. He has treated me with respect and i will do the same. As for the " Shane Baker for Sheriff comment", thank you it's an honor you think of me for such a position. BUT please let's keep this about the article. For anyone else wondering about what I have done or not done for the Sheriffs Office , call me I would love to here from you. Everyone have a pleasant evening and keep the injured warriors in your thoughts and prayers.

Deletewe need more diversity in the Sherrifs office at this time.
Kaepernick would make a excellent Wicomico County Sherrif
Sherrif Kaepernick
This would stop all the Hill Billy crap here in Wicomico County
as Sherrif, Kaepernick would ensure we have more Section 8 in the budget
Shane is a true friend. I have worked with Shane over 24 years. Shane has more integrity in his little finger than most have at all. Shane is the type of Deputy I would want to back me up rather than some of you back stabbing people at our office. Shane has been the only one with enough balls to put his name on this blog. other than Shane which was the first one to call me to see if I was ok ive only had a handfull of co-workers call me to see if im ok. So all of you that see no problem with what has happened to the four of us affected by this mess, just think this could be you in you last month prior to retirement. See the problem with law enforcement today is police do police no one should bash Shane for showing concern over his brothers and sisters in blue. Sam Workman
ReplyDeleteblew out my knee in the usmc. bone on bone sucks some days. But hey bills got to be paid, need a roof over my head and family's got to eat! no one paying me disability! suck it up cupcake!
ReplyDeleteNEW Sheriff LOOOONG Overdue !!!!
ReplyDeleteALL these posts should PROVE that !!!!
If the public only knew the truth. People are so blind.
Delete2-TERM Limits for ALL elected offices Period !!!
ReplyDeleteI’m confused. Are they getting their full salary? If so, they are getting cop pay, complaining that they have to do a job that typically pays much less? The boss says you switch jobs, you switch jobs. It’s pretty simple.
ReplyDeleteExactly. They are earning their full pay. Just do what you’re told. It’s a pretty simple concept.
DeleteYou clearly don’t get it. It’s about your own people screwing you over just so they can laugh about it behind closed doors. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
DeleteHow are you being “screwed over”? You’re still being paid. Just because you have to work a shift that you don’t want, doesn’t mean you are screwed over. He has the absolute right to assign you to whatever shift he wants. He’s the boss.
DeleteThe problem is most on here are not aware of our contract and what's in it. Some of the things going on could be interpreted as a violation to their contract. That's why this doesnt make sense to most.
ReplyDeleteThe contract is only as good as the union backing it. Reading the comments the Fop is for the Sheriff not the Deputies.
DeleteDon’t they get paid more to work late shifts?
ReplyDelete8:18 NOPE!
DeleteWrong. Every county employee gets shift differential.
DeleteDeputies on light duty
ReplyDeleteFirst of all there are 6 at the office...
One is workings for the quarter masters office
Second one is still working day work, 8 hours Mon.-Fri.
And the four that have been moved to dispatch 12 hour shifts are in line to retire out under the FOP disability
It’s obvious what’s happening here Lewis and FOP are in bed together. He is trying to piss them off and force them out!
Light is light duty not add “FOUR” more hours to their day! There is no way if someone from the administration was hurt and came back light duty would they ever work 12 hours. That’s why WCSO administration is not leaders! They are bullies with strips and bars!!
Yup
Deletedoes Sheriff Lewis have a office at the humane society? See his vehicle there alot since the new director was hired!!???
ReplyDeleteHaha!
DeleteDon’t they get paid more for working shift work?
ReplyDeleteNever replace Sheriff Lewis as long as he wants the position it’s his!!! Get over it....
ReplyDeleteSpecial thanks to Shane Baker and everyone that has shown support for the Deputies injured in the line of duty. For a Deputy to openly show support and not conceal his identity while making his comments I felt compelled to share my story to let everyone know how I was injured. My injury occurred while I was rendering aid to a lady trapped inside an overturned vehicle following an auto accident.
ReplyDeleteThe injury I suffered dramatically changed my life forever and left me needing multiple surgeries to walk again and attempt to reclaim my independence. After my first surgery I was told that I would not walk again without the assistance of crutches, a walker or a cane unless I had a second surgery. I am now going through the process of of healing and walking with pain & limitations. I am thankful that I am able to walk again. In my career for the past 29 years I've faithfully served the citizens of Wicomico County.
Another point I'd like to make. The FOP asked the tax payers over a decade ago to vote to give us collective bargaining so we could get disability for our deputies if they needed it. The tax payers voted for it and it was passed. The FOP, Wicomico County and the Sheriff have yet to set it up or put it on paper. This is truly insulting to the tax payers and the deputies. I am a police officer in the county and I'm embarrassed by the lack of concern of FOP lodge 111. SHAME on your lodge!
ReplyDeleteThe lodge was unable to do anything for years of substance, they miraculously didn’t realize a sheriffs deputy, one of their own, was spending all the lodge funds. Many thousands of dollars and apparently no one realized it until the balance was extremely low, some good oversight there obviously. That’s why the lodge did/does nothing, they had to rebuild financially from blind eyes on their financial situation.
Delete7:58 The FOP needs to help these injuried deputies! The FOP walks the line of double standards! Our FOP representative is part of the command staff at WCSO! She the problem!?!
DeleteWould that be the same representative that allowed a 30K judgement to get rendered against a deputy because she didn’t do her job? Hell, she didn’t do ANYTHING! What were the repercussions for that blunder? Oh that’s right, there were none.
DeleteI heard the county had to pay 30k for that mistake.
DeleteAnother Deputy was severely injured this past week while fighting with a punk in a high school. Again, Lewis has failed to address the violence in the school, which has resulted in ANOTHER one of his deputies being injured. Get ready for 12 hour dispatch shifts buddy! Thank your ADMIN!
ReplyDeleteHow does a Deputy, trained in self defense, ground fighting, pressure points, judo and defensive tactics, get stomped out and manhandled by a 13 year old? I thought he was a tough biker dude. At least his pics say he is.
DeleteAre you saying that a ninth grade kid kicked the powdered sugar off of Deputy Donut?
DeleteI think the newly formed task force had a meeting about it. Smh.
DeleteIt’s called the unpredictability of a teenager. Seriously? I bet a lot of the injuries occur when dealing with the school populations.
DeleteA teenager is no more “unpredictable” than an adult. The Deputy received extensive training in the academy to handle these situations. When the time came to perform, he couldn’t. Looks like the Sheriff’s Department should ask for a refund from Wor Wic’s academy. Another crap load of money wasted on someone who can’t retain or recall their training when faced with adversity. That’s what you get from people who have never worked the road and have been hidden in special units for years. You can’t send a mouse to do a mans job.
DeleteAnonymous EWWWW said...
ReplyDeleteIn sorry to bust your bubble 1249 comments
But Lewis is not a lady man,
Lewis came out of the closet some time ago
1249------ You must have Lewis confused with Richardson!
First deputies and police officers should realize that talking garbage about one another does nothing to strengthen their collective efforts. It causes dissension and backstabbing. For years police officers here have been talking untold amounts of nonsense behind each other backs to other police officers, the upper echelon, and civilians. It has to stop if cops ever want to stick together. The hodgepodge of the FOP is a joke without a thin blue line, which does not exist here. So, if you want to move forward and take care of each other, stop talking garbage behind each other's backs. Literally, stop talking. How about saying, I hope he gets better instead of this guy is an A-hole.
ReplyDeleteTake into account one of the members of the FOP acting as the treasurer (previously), who is still a deputy, looked the other way while TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars were stolen from his fellow members. You think this guy has your back? Again, this is a man who holds himself over and above the rest of the people at the sheriff's office, his ego running well past his abilities and ethics. A guy that walks around with an attitude that his stuff doesn't stink when it stinks just as bad a Mike Lewis. And when he is handed his ass, what does he do? Talk trash about Mike Lewis. The same guy who he used to hang out with and bump uglies with. It's a very shortfall from under the wing of a dragon.
Second these deputies that named themselves have put themselves on a cross. Here is how this is going to handled by Mike Lewis. He will let this blog die down, as it always does, it's just a very minor bump in the road for him, a pebble. He will then transfer these guys to the bottom of the district courthouse where they will spend about two years until his over-inflated ego can let out some air.
Remember, Mike rubs shoulders with the President of the United States. In his mind, everyone is beneath him. Mike essentially disbanded the SERT team because his pussy cat ached after being told, no you can't talk all day about how great you are at a funeral.
No matter how much bitching you do on this blog, no matter how much you suggest others should run for office, he will never, ever leave. No one else will ever get elected and beat out Mike Lewis. He is far too much of a politician.
The one thing that will save us all is if we all stop talking trash about one another and re-establish a policing blue line in the ranks.
Whoever you are sir, you have my vote for sheriff!
DeleteI'll do you one better. Mike Lewis cannot wait to get rid of old heads, too much trouble. He is such an egotist that he thinks the newer, younger deputies will blindly follow his and his cronies direction, which they will, marching into the abyss blindly. He doesn't want your old and tired years of experience around. He wants new, idiots to follow him and his upper management fools blindly. Our years of experience working for the road, courts, and schools, he values for nothing.
ReplyDeleteHe is a piece of cauliflower with shiny pins on and a polished, non-issued firearm because he can't hit the broad side of a barn with a Glock.
Just sitting here reading these comments, and knowing half of them are probably from Deputies. What does that say about the state of moral at the Sheriffs Office?!?!? Things are obviously in the crapper.
ReplyDelete1256 you ain't Lying. Wow these deputies seem peeved. Yeesh things are circulating the toilet drain over there.
ReplyDeleteShane T. Baker for Sheriff!! Shane will fix this up quick and in a hurry. Shane realizes good morale makes good employees.
ReplyDeleteAll I can think of is....."WWLSD" What Would Lee Stevens Do
ReplyDeleteLee Stevens for Sheriff!
ReplyDeleteKrah Plunkert for Sheriff!!
DeleteSo, if they are medically retiring, why are they still working?
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of people who do not get in any trouble under Mike Lewis, whole shifts sitting and watching movies for most of the shift. Those Sgts should be demoted. Cpl abusing overtime in courts like it was his personal bank, he and his supervisor should be charged with theft, 1st Sgt that has been kicked out of every division he has worked and disappears for most of the day, if he fails in his job demote him. Sgts never being seen or heard for the whole shift. Nothing happens to any of them, except maybe promoted again.
ReplyDeleteFop should be ashamed. They do absolutely nothing to help the deputies or police Officers around the county. For many years the board of the Fop have been made up of Deputies. Every president always gets promoted. It’s rotten from the inside and controlled by the Sheriff and the command staff. The current president is a administrator at the Sheriff’s Office so she is not going to help anyone that isn’t her self.
ReplyDeletePut this back on top!!!! It’s just starting to get good!! They Haven’t even started about the “Chief” Deputy yet!!!
ReplyDeleteLet us get the facts in order here.It has been common knowledge in the law enforcement community that Lewis could care less about his COUNTY EMPLOYEES. The deputies do not actually work for Mike Lewis. They fall under the employee hand book as well as a solid collective bargain with binding arbitration contract. Deputies do not get elected every four years they remain regardless of who is elected. Bob Culver why are you not on top of this situation. Lewis is such a little p****y that he can not stand anyone injured both mentally or physically in the line of duty.
ReplyDeleteWe are talking about a man who killed another human being who was unarmed. I guess if he was not such a little pile of dung he could have taken that man into custody without shooting him or was there more to the story. Lewis is corrupt I will not run down the litany of criminal things he has done it would take to long. He is a fake little toad that has suffered littleman complex his whole life. I remember when you could not be a Trooper if you could not see over the steering wheel. Enough about Mike he is just a piece of shit.
As for the F.O.P. funny thing you never hear a peep out of them anymore. Mike got his girl in there and she takes marching orders from Lewis. Thank God the contract was in place before she took over. I understand they are building or have purchased a new F.O.P. lodge. So as for the poster saying the F.O.P. has no money to fight for who they actually represent I call bull shit. So in looking at what is going on here plain and simple be careful who you vote for. I would call for the impeachment of the F.O.P. President for taking privileged information back to Mike Lewis. Lewis then in turn suspended his S.W.A.T. because they could not stand that Lewis made the off duty death of Steve Ray a media circus and all about Mike Lewis. Mike loved Ray so much he died a Deputy First Class under Lewis' leadership. I would guess this was not the first time she had pillow talk with Mike. Just saying. Also is 1st Sgt. the current rank the President holds an appointed rank. How is it ethical or legal for her to hold the head union position. I would contact the state lodge for a ruling on this one. She is Admin plain and simple and a snitch from what I hear. Cowards of any kind suffer a long painful life. It sucks to look in a mirror and see yourself. So dont be that guy.
Stop airing your dirty laundry and let your balls drop. Take some action. The men and women of the Sheriff's Office deserve better. Educate yourself read your contract and make sure the little Hitler adheres to every word of it. Murphy do the job that you were elected to do.
The question is why doesn’t the Sheriff have any of the African American deputies working the streets? All of them are resource officers at the schools. Can someone explain that?
ReplyDelete5:18 because lewis is a devout racist pig. He will never promote an African American. The closest thing to it was Wilson with his identity crisis. Some how he got promoted. God only knows how that happened. The human body will repair itself better on normal sleep patterns. Shift work is a killer to those without injury. Back to the Black thing Lewis has no one of color in his command staff. When a minority Deputy had cancer he nor any other commander went to see him in the hospital. Wonder why lol. You do the math. They all do what they think Mikey likes. You can be a top producer in arrest traffic etc.. If lewis does not like you the pussies he promoted will not like you. Every dog has his day. One day Lewis will not have a badge to protect him. I cant do anything my mother told me to never hit a little person. Remember when all the ass kisser went to the leather jackets. I bet not one commander in place at this time does not wear one. Little Hitler better stop spending time at a certain house before Denise kicks all his little clothes to the curb. The sad fact is some of these people complaining ate the corn out of Mike's crap. Now they want to cry and moan. The hypocrisy is over whelming. Do your job Madam President or resign from the F.O.P. Everyone knows your secret when you attended the inauguration. How can we expect you to be loyal to us. Enough said
ReplyDeleteTELL THE SECRET????????
DeleteYou gotta earn your way cry baby no free rides
Delete5:18 Because he does not want them seeing the racist bull crap he and his little S.S. pull. Anyone else find it odd that a police officer can stop hundreds of cars a year and 97% were A/A. Then you wonder why that culture is angry. Ask Ernie about Mike he can give you an ear full.
ReplyDeleteThe punk plays the race card haha ... Ernie is racist his damn self try again race baiter
DeleteYep. Ernie and Ed Lashley are the two most racist people I’ve ever met.
DeleteYou got that right
Delete622 that house humm Dixon road or humane society oh mikey people must know now
ReplyDeleteI worked at the prison for the State of Maryland. I had a heart attack. I was not getting any pay. It happened at home not work. Although stress of the job could have helped cause it.when the doctor told me I could return to work on light duty. The prison told me we don't have light duty. If you cannot do your regular job duties. You no longer have a job here.i was terminated for having a heart attack. No job no pay no nothing just see you.At least these county employee s still have a job.
ReplyDeletethis is the straw that broke the camels back. Mike Lewis and his admin have had a course of conduct of mistreatment of the deputies. Moving his injured deputies to 11-12 hr. shifts isn't the main issue,its just a totality of mistreatment. Deputies are sick of it. Here is a run down of the injured deputies effected, torn pectorals major, one attacked by a K9, two career ending knee injuries. Some of these deputies were already assigned to dispatch 8 hr shift where they stayed busy answering the phone,sitting the do's desk and helping people in the lobby . One deputy assigned records where he did expungements,filed all reports written,worked cold cases for cid,re-investigated older cases for possible dna submission,all taxi cab permits, entering written warnings,citations.One deputy assist the quarter master (not been moved to 11-12 hr shifts) The deputies were busy and worked everyday. I am a deputy and yes out of fear i cant post my name.I have many years left to work. I just dont understand this reassignment of some of these injured deputies. Its very concerning to many of us at the office.
ReplyDeleteWell, ty Shane Baker for replying here where some of us deplorable try to decipher the news. That in itself is more than our current elected officials can wench themselves to do. Whether or not your running for sheriff, I as am sure many citizens here would like to hear from you or perhaps anyone whom might be considering running for office....what would you do to fix this shameful situation concerning our disabled officers? What can, could and should be done to right it?
ReplyDeleteAnother urgent topic is that of 2A Counties. I believe someone serious about running for sheriff or co ex would land alot of votes if they were to have a plan and get these things underway immediately. Perhaps they could right an email to Joe so he could put it up here for us to consider, again it would not confirm anyone running...justa what if..
Thanks for considering.
Thank you for the post and the question. Actually it's a pretty easy question to answer. I would go to every media/news outlet to include this one and tell the story how our union asked the voters of this county to sign a petition to allow a vote on collective bargaining over a decade +/- ago. We told the voters we wanted this because we wanted a disability plan that was more in line with other law enforcement agencies throughout the country. The voters believed we deserved it and they voted for it. Our collective bargaining was born. I would tell them our disability agreement was put into our contract over 6 years +/- ago. To date we have many many many unanswered questions. I would tell the citizens of this county the story of how several brave men were injured in the line of duty. I would allow the injured to tell their story. I would then ask the tax payers to help me by contacting their representatives and demand that this be fixed, corrected etc. immediately. I believe in the goodness of people. I believe the voters would be FURIOUS if they knew about our current situation in regards to our disability plan. The voters would do the rest. Law enforcement is a very dangerous job. We do it without hesitation. Law enforcement just asks if something happens to them while serving and protecting that they have a disability plan to fall back on. Thank you.
DeleteShane it takes a lot of courage to address these issues and sign your name knowing the reputation of retaliation that our office has constantly demonstrated. Shane as a deputy I couldn’t agree more, the Citizens voted and approved collective bargaining for the sole purpose of protecting the deputies in the event of a catastrophic Injury. Sadly the collective bargaining contract is not worth the paper it is written on if there isn’t strong men and women prepared to fight for it. As many have pointed out the FOP is more concerned with a new building and going to state conferences with all expenses paid. If they focused on the welfare of the men and women that are injured with the same tenacity as the new building the injured deputies would have nothing to worry over. To the men and women that are injured Seams like you need to speak with Deputy Shane Baker when you get a moment.
DeleteShane I believe you are correct it’s time to involve all the media outlets. Shane you have my vote for Sheriff.
I commend those of you that are commenting. You need to open up more. Most that live within this county have no idea that all of this is going on. It cant be fixed if nobody knows its going on. Get all of Mikes bull shit out there for all to see! These deputies deserve better.
ReplyDelete2 Term Limits will solve ALOT !!!!! LONG Overdue !!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen are the Wicomico Republican going to push to make this a Sanctuary County for 2A? We have the majority in the County council and a Conservative County Executive and a Republican Sheriff. We have the majority vote. What are we going to wait until Democrats are in total control to try to act? this needs to be done now while we have the majority vote with Republicans. Get this done! Want to be a hero? Get this done other counties will follow your lead!
ReplyDeleteWhat say you Bob Culver, Joe Holloway, Larry Dodd, Mike Lewis. Jamie Dykes, John Cannon, Nicole Acle? Get this done NOW!
You’re right better get ahead of it while you can
Delete353, what exactly does a declaring county have that lets say a non declaring county have? Would we have more rights to guns etc? Does the 2A magically become an umbrella which the state or feds are not able to use the existing law towards us? Do our Sheriffs department go rouge if asked about it? I am seriously asking, what does the title "sanctuary" really mean.
ReplyDeleteBuford T Justice for sheriff
ReplyDeleteMake a list. Who would be a candidate for Sheriff that would improve the conditions and morale? I say, Babe Wilson.
DeleteI agree about Babe Wilson as Sherrif
DeleteI worked with him in Jail for decades
Babe Wison gave me recommendations and signed off my gun permit when we jailed together...
Babe Wilson would make a great Sherrif for Wicomico County, and was excellent to work side by side with in Jail.
FAIR FIRM IMPARTIAL
Does anyone know what gary barker does or has ever done for the sheriff office. He barley has a page on md case search???
ReplyDelete2 terms for all the Germs !!!!
ReplyDeleteBabe Wilson is one of the biggest problems at that office
ReplyDeleteI see medically retired police officers rehired and earning a second pension all the time. Sheriff Lewis follows the law on this and is gracious to provide light duty for periods of time. Can return to full duty , you get 66 2/3rds salary tax free. Both wicomico, Worcester somerset and others have medically retired officers on their payroll earning a second pension. Respectfully you are off base on this one Joe.
ReplyDeleteThe comment is about NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE MONEY because of how they deputy’s are being treated. The department has to do the paperwork along with the deputy. But if your fired before your able to submit it then your screwed. Try to pay attention. Thank you.
Deletemike lewis,the first midget sheriff.
ReplyDeleteHave I come to the right place for the boohoo forum ?
ReplyDeleteI am a FOP member. I'm asking that our brothers and sisters come to the next meeting and support our injured. It's time we stand as one. Remember at any moment you could be one of the injured sitting on the side line. If you wont do it for them do it for yourself. Either way please show.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he said that, he also said "we will not comply" last year during the House Gun Bill Days.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the good Sheriff doesn't walk the walk, since Wicomico County has issued 18 ERPOs through November of 2019 and issued 9 in the three months ERPOs were on the books in 2018.
Youd think this thread alone would be enough to get culver off his a$$, I guess spending all those big bucks on a new sheriffs complex makes him feel like a celebrity too. Time to find true leaders and not just show boats.
ALL gets Swept Under the RUG in Wicomico County !! Fact
ReplyDeleteI have seen enough on this blog to tell me who to vote for if he runs......
ReplyDeleteSHANE BAKER
2 Term LIMITS solve alot of problems !!! Much needed !!!!
ReplyDeleteShane Baker????? The one that worked in Circuit court and was more interested in gossiping and talking than doing his job? Are you guys joking?? He would be a horrible leader.
ReplyDeleteYou must be thinking of someone else. The deputy Baker I'm thinking of (I worked with him) he helped that place run well. Marc Henderson and shane ran that place well. Ask Wendy Riley she will tell you. She was the court administrator at that time or you can ask either of the retired judges. No doubt shane is a talker but not doing his job. No way.
ReplyDeleteYou need MIKE CAREY as wicomico county sheriff!! The guy is straight up and nothing like the showboating idiot Lewis
ReplyDeleteSecond that!!
