PBSO Vehicles Assigned to Civilians for commuting

NEW! Police Report and Internal Affairs Investigation on LT. Dan Burrows, where he stole the pain meds and firearms from a fellow dying deputy, Michael Collister (click to view).

This is a list of some of the very real, very scary documents obtained by PBSOTalk.com. Please scroll down to the bottom to see a full list of what your Sheriff has been doing with taxpayer money and time.
Internal Affairs Complaints
Waste and Abuse

Over the past year, I have learned of a vast amount of unethical, immoral and criminal activities being carried out by Sheriff Ric L. Bradshaw and his staff. These immoral and criminal activities include, but are not limited to the following list, and for proof positive, I have included the links to the articles and documentation:
  • Sheriff Ric Bradshaw was caught stealing a firearm from the evidence room (Click HERE to view the documentation).
  • In the same sworn deposition, it was discovered Sheriff Bradshaw ordered detectives to falsify evidence against a black defendant to put him in jail. Sheriff Bradshaw has already been successfully sued for discrimination and is currently facing up to 31 lawsuits for discrimination. If successful, the payouts for these suits come from the taxpayers.
  • Sheriff Bradshaw’s friend, Lt. Dan Burrows, was caught stealing the pain medication off the nightstand of a man who was dying of cancer. Sheriff Bradshaw refused to let Internal Affairs take any action and ordered them to hide his crimes (Click HERE to read the story). When PBSO SWAT Lieutenant Dan Burrows was caught stealing the pain medication off the nightstand of a dying deputy and made that same dying deputy to get out of his “death bed” and open his safe to steal additional pain meds and firearms, Sheriff Bradshaw attempted to conceal this crime and arrested the disgusted IA investigator who leaked it to the media.
  • Sheriff Ric Bradshaw was using his county credit card to treat campaign contributors to meals at lavish restaurants and bars. Some of these people have ties to the Colombo Crime Family (Click HERE to view the documentation). Sheriff Bradshaw was fully aware of these ties to organized crime, as it was pointed out by the Palm Beach Post in 2008 (Click HERE to read the Palm Beach Post article). The Florida Ethics Commission found that the purchases with taxpayer money were “not in the proper performance in his official duties.”
  • Sheriff Ric Bradshaw has been extorting money from seniors when raising their property taxes. He threatens they will become victims of violent gang-related crime because he will have to shut down their substations and cut police services. He then uses the money to buy off civilian employees who work for his campaign, to include about $6 Million per year in “company cars” the civilians drive to and from work and free gasoline, all funded by the taxpayer (Click HERE to view the documentation).
  •  Sheriff Bradshaw committed two felonies in May 2011 when he falsified an official document, alleging fraud, to receive a new county purchasing card in an attempt to hide his purchases from records request.
  • Sheriff Bradshaw spent $12,313 to purchase silver-plated revolvers, complete with engraved name plaques, to present to each elected Sheriff in Florida. When public records requests were made, the Sheriff repeatedly lied (committing four misdemeanor counts of violating the sunshine law), however, a photograph from Sheriff Martin Crowder was obtained, as well as a confirmation that he was personally presented the firearm from Bradshaw. Also obtained was the invoice from the distributor which shows that they were purchased by the Sheriff’s Office (Click HERE for the documentation). Note: the invoice has a typo but it was made out to PBSO’s address and to the attention to PBSO Events Coordinator Carol Verdigi).
  • Sheriff Ric Bradshaw spent $89,000 on three(3) massive BBQ grills to be used at reelection campaign events, as well as being used for fund raising drives for the P.B.C. Police Benevolent Association. This does not include the three(3) diesel trucks in the amount of about $100,000. This information is known far and wide and even brought up in the candidate debate at the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office race.. What an embarrassment to the citizens of Palm Beach County (to see the records, CLICK HERE).
  • Sheriff Ric Bradshaw allowed a PBSO Lieutenant to commit felonies to include wiretapping and alleged rape, saying it wasn’t the Sheriff’s Office’s place to become involved in one’s personal life. There were credible allegations of rape, with evidence, though it was swept under the rug.
  • Just last week, documents were posted on the site where the Sheriff, who owns a $1.1 Million dollar home in Ibis County Club, was a defendant in a foreclosure where a judgment of $253,000 was awarded to the plaintiff. If this Sheriff Bradshaw can’t manage his own financesfor an investment property, how can the taxpayers trust him with a half billion dollar budget? CLICK HERE for the documentation.
A web site poll was conducted amongst people, primarily members of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, where they were asked to nominate candidates for Sheriff and hold a vote against the incumbent, Sheriff Bradshaw. The question (written very fairly and impartially) was, “Who do you feel has the highest integrity and fairness to lead PBSO?”  In a stunning defeat, the Sheriff received only 4% of the vote, the absolute lowest of all the nominees, while the highest ranked candidate received seven times that number at 28%. These are from people who are primarily deputies and know what Sheriff Bradshaw is about. I profess I am not in law enforcement, so I can’t say if paying off civilian employees to work a campaign with tax dollars is legal or if the Sheriff needs to have BBQ grills values at $30,000 each.
Jim Donahue, however, is in Law Enforcement. In fact, Mr. Donahue is one of the most well-known authors on law enforcement topics with hundreds of articles to his credit. On a law-enforcement talk show, he stated:
“Ric Bradshaw is one of the ringleaders of one of the most corrupt public organizations in the country. I have seen what has gone on in Palm Beach County and recognize that in that county there is a level of corruption and dishonesty that puts the Chicago political machine to shame. In fact, it’s the kind of people in power in Palm Beach County that are the kind of people my dad fought in WWII to defeat. They are threatening the very fabric of our republic.”
You can hear the actual audio BY CLICKING HERE. I am sad to say I have discovered this level of corruption in Palm Beach County being committed by the highest law-enforcement official in the county. This has all been exposed by public documents that you can see for yourself (CLICK HERE TO VIEW). Luckily, however, the elections are just around the corner.
