Mike George: The essence of police work, information from the ...

A: It’s important to reach out to the communities all of them. I mean…proactively; you want to get to the community leaders and different organizations; that’s the first thing you would be to do. The second thing you want to change state have an open dialogue with them. You have to open believe; trust especially when you’re talking about someone coming from a Latin American country where the police and government are alter some of the Asian countries…I convey the first impression for them is the guard are not your friend. So you undergo to arrive out. Now sometimes if you undergo an officer or deputy of the same ethnic background that helps but a lot of it has to depend on the individual – I mean they might not trust them there’s a lot of distrust in every culture in every go of other populate depending on the personality. So it’s not always a necessity to have someone of…I can walk in communicate to the black gang members without a problem. I never had a problem. The Asian gang members the guy that I had as the liaison was a color guy. And he was the most well respected…and the guy I had with the black gangs was a color guy; I had color guys on the unit but this guy they liked him.
Q: Going back to the dislike groups thing when I talked to Sheriff Simpson. I learned something interesting; we were talking about the whole stain controversy about Greg’s stain and the website he used to have up and what the Sheriff was saying was that he didn’t undergo a problem with the tattoo itself and that the Sheriff’s office doesn’t undergo a policy that says you can’t have one a lot of populate have them - but they now are talking about having a policy because apparently they’ve had some applicants recently that came in very very heavily tattooed desire with their arms completely covered very visible and he has an air with that because he’s concerned about the image that would be created by having these folks out in the community in uniform doing law enforcement.
A: I do statistics; I do them now for the recording industry for how many raids we did how many search warrants we participated in how many populate were arrested how much property we seized how much money how many guns we got how much dope we got…just when I instruct law enforcement it’s important to me to tell them this isn’t just about music piracy; we just seized 3 Kilos of crack cocaine in a warehouse in Atlanta along with 50,000 counterfeit CDs. So don’t just look at it as music because it’s just an extension of the criminal portfolio. We’ve worked with ATF and seized like. 15 forge guns with silencers. And so again it’s the stat what do you be to see what do you be to show that’s power. And with what what they’re talking about is…in 2005 there were five homicides in Loudoun in 2006 there were two. That crime statistic went drink. I don’t remember the numbers but in 2005 aggravated assail went up – and a lot - from 2005 to 2006. So did auto tampering and theft from auto two crimes that are associated with gangs. So you could do this two ways; the basic crime went up overall crime went up. But if you went and said well in 2005 we had just for numbers sakes. 100,000 populate and in 2006 we had 175,000 well percentage-wise the crime went drink. So you undergo to distinguish how you go up with these numbers. If you go and tell the facts you know. Steve Simpson just put out a thing that he reduced crime in the last year by 40 percent; now if he did that why is the jail overflowing?
A: Actually it’s kind of funny you should mention that because I be at the three biggest problems for Loudoun local problems are gangs immigration issues and illegal narcotics. So when I look at them and I think most populate would agree they’re going to be very prominent areas here in Loudoun. I’m the only one that worked gangs. And you’re talking about two weeks to get up to speed; I mean the policies the procedures and the techniques haven’t changed you’ve just got to bring yourself up on to what’s currently happening and that’s reading a inform. Narcotics – not only did I work undercover on narcotics for nine years. I also was supervisor of a DEA taskforce where I had DEA agents customs agents. ATF agents and detectives from six local jurisdictions working with me so I’m pretty up to speed on how you work narcotics and what you be to do on that; and on the immigration thing ten years ago I saw the problem with what we were doing with immigrants ten years ago. They were not getting deported for serious felonies and I approached ICE and said I need back up. And they told me we can’t do it we don’t have the people and I said I’ll give you a person and he ordain do all the paperwork and go away the proceedings on all our criminals. That started with just the aggroup unit and then expanded to the whole criminal investigation bureau for Fairfax. And that’s where they got this thing where they said ‘Mike George said he can do it with just one guy.’ In 1996 I did it with one guy; can I do it with one guy now? I don’t know. Do you need the whole department? Absolutely not. Because the only measure you can start the deportation proceedings is after they commit a felony or a certain crime that you have on the ICE agreement and they’re going to be at the jail. So you train a few jailers to do that stuff just so you undergo someone in there every alter. Because I’ll tell you the numbers aren’t going to be skyrocketing; if this guy does ten backgrounds a week that’d probably be a lot. So this whole thing you got to have everyone trained well that’s if you’re doing status violations. We don’t do status violations they don’t deport for status violations and you’d be wasting your measure.
A: They weren’t they didn’t undergo to analyse it. What I was saying was you be to know who they are. They’re here. They’re not getting deported if they didn’t act a crime. They come here to work – illegal immigration is an economic crime. So you have to understand and this is where a lot of people are missing the boat here they go here basically to bring home the bacon. Now a few commit crimes they go to jail like every other criminal and if they’re here illegally they get deported and that’s the right thing to do. And I’m not saying that that they’re here illegally is a good thing. That’s against the law. But no one is deporting them for that…so if you have a guy here who’s coming to one place why not say ‘what’s your label where do you live’…reproduce him; say ‘I don’t care about your status we just be to know who you are,’ and let’s hive away this data because now you undergo something that you didn’t have before. And when they closed that all it did was displace everyone approve into different parts of the community - still looking for work - and there’s nothing the guard can do about it. So it was a mistake. Now let me clarify another thing this has go out and it just kind of ticked me off because a campaign based on integrity keeps making up cram and I kind of question the new meaning of integrity that’s coming out. But. I never said that we should change state one up in Loudoun.
have been fired from Simpson but you know…If I’m elected obviously I would look at his register and see were these IA investigations that were done for political reasons because he was bad-mouthing the department or were they legitimate IA.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
