From Bob Peck:
GAHLER CONTINUES WITH HIS NEGATIVITY!
Recently I was made aware of an inquiry that Gahler made to the Maryland State Police regarding a former close friend and colleague of his, Chuck Moore.
The inquiry questioned the integrity of Chuck Moore, who attended the press conference and dedication of Eagle 1 on December 03, 2013, the recently acquired helicopter by the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. He also questioned Chuck Moore’s tour of the Harford County detention center on December 18, 2013. In the request, Gahler asked for a copy of Captain Chuck Moore’s record of leave for both dates.
The first thought that comes to mind, why Gahler was interested in Chuck Moore’s leave time and his appearances at the press conference and the detention center.
My second thought, why did he try and disgrace and possibly initiate an internal investigation against a well-respected Commander and a friend. It should be noted that Chuck Moore was Gather’s best man in his wedding. Gahler, who is also retired from the Maryland State Police is well aware of the effects that a complaint has on a Trooper, even ones that are unfounded.
Gahler has proven to me that he cares only about himself and not the people of Harford County or the Sheriff’s Office. Gahler lost my support in 2010 because of his ongoing negativity and arrogance.
On my Bob Peck for Sheriff Facebook Page you will find the letter Gahler sent to Colonel Marcus Brown the Superintendent of the Maryland State Police, a message from retired Captain Chuck Moore to Harford County voters and a message that I have sent to my friends, family and supporters.
If he treats his friends the way he treated Chuck Moore, I can only imagine how he would treat a deputy or a citizen of Harford County that does not agree with his management style.
I will continue to show my support for Sheriff Jesse Bane.

Sincerely,
Bob Peck
Former Candidate for Sheriff of Harford County – 2014
“Bob Peck
Former Candidate for Sheriff of Harford County – 2014”
Former candidate, nothing further need be said. Please move on with your life Sir.
To call yourself a former candidate for office, wouldn’t you have had to have actually be on a ballot at some point during an election cycle?
BTW, look who is making personal, very personal attacks now.
Really enough said now. Thank you.
A plant in the race by Bane and now a fool for Harford. Go Bob, make yourself look more foolish than the worst candidate for public office ever.
Peckerwood: LOL as well. I was trying to be nice about it, but you too are right on point.
I just wanted Bob to feel at home. That is his Baltimore Co. nickname.
ROFLMBO—-“Former Candidate” being the operative word there. You hit it out of the park my friend.
Still laughing!
Bane is in a all out panic now.
This is interesting and changes my perspective on Jeff Gahler as Sheriff. I am now officially undecided again. I wish that each candidate would stick with the topics that voters want to hear. What have you done what are your plans. I have not heard that yet it’s all a bunch if baby bickering
Lance From Hickory: Please read Jeff’s handout. It lists some of the major issues that he will address. There just isn’t enough room to show a complete list. http://jeffgahler.com/docs/JG_Campaign_flyer.pdf
Also, you can call and ask him whatever questions you may have, as his phone number is listed the handout, as well.
Yeah right, with Howard and Teresa at his side. Get real MDPatroit. He promise you a promotion or job too?
Ha ha ha ha!!! Quite a liberal spin you are trying to put on me, which is typical of the left-wing socialist groupies. FYI, I am a totally disabled (meaning I am unable to work, period, due to serious health issues) senior citizen. God willing, I live long enough to vote this year, and for just a couple more elections. I can tell you this, I will not vote for your candidate (meaning Mr. Bane). One of my first jobs had a boss like Mr. Bane, as he has been described, obviously by Deputies posting on this, and other websites….a regular tyrant. The back-biting displayed here by the left-wing liberals is obvious and I would not give them 1 cent for their opinion……of anything. Have a nice day.
Jeff did say on record and on video that the Walters will have no place in his administration. Now unlike Bane who lies on video and doesn’t have to answer for it Jeff would really screw himself if he brought them in and probably be a one term Sheriff. This is the same nonsense that was used in the last election and the Bane machine has just kept using it to try and scare people. The majority of the department have had enough of being lied to since 2006 and are standing up to the tyrant. Bane is two people. There is the Bane inside the Sheriff’s Office and then the politician Bane who goes out into public. This was stated by someone else and they are dead on with that point.
People post saying crime is not Bane’s fault. This is true. What is his fault is poor leadership in addressing the growing crime rates in Harford County. You can spin numbers any way you want but the last two months pretty much tells a different story. Leadership is what is needed and untying the hands of the cops so they can do their jobs. New York City did this under the leadership of Rudy Giuliani. He was not the Police Commissioner but he got involved with the police and clean up areas of New York City. Now if this can be done in New York City I am sure this can be done in Harford County. Under Bane it has increased and this shows he is incapable of doing the job. Time for a change.
For you younger guys in the department, ask some of the vets how Perrywood was taken away from the Bloods and Crypts under Meadows? Under the supervision of Howard Walters. When you are allowed to be a cop without someone second guessing and kissing the publics A$$ you can get things done.
Wasn’t Theresa Walter just elected to the position of President of the Maryland Chiefs of Police Association? Now she represents all Maryland Chiefs of Police on a national level. A testament to the level of respect that all of the Chiefs of Police in Maryland have for her and her abilities.
The same fear mongering folks want us to believe that somehow Chief Walter would give up her position as Chief of Police to take a Deputies position in the HCSO. How crazy is that theory?
Theresa Walter had a long and distinguished career in the HCSO. She has since moved on and continues to distinguish herself among many of the most highly respected leaders of law enforcement in the entire state of Maryland and the United States.
She does support Jeff Gahler for the position of Sheriff of Harford County.
Eaton, are you secretly Howard’s son and Lisa’s brotha from another Momma? And don’t you remember how he screwed you over the years too? What do you pump his toilet still? Cut his grass? Polish his chrome?
So this is the best Bane has in the tank? Make the county laughing stock candidate stand up and say Gahler is picking on a guy who is spending his taxpayer funded workday kissing the rear end of Sheriff Bane? Jesse try this, “Yes, I lied and said Gahler fired 70 troopers and yes, I fired a woman with no cause and it was so vindictive the courts had to get involved, but hey! Gahler wants people to do their jobs.” Oh, nevermind, when you tell it like it is, you sound pretty dumb.
WOW! Now there is the smoking gun! Gahler is in trouble now! He wrote a letter asking if something was being done properly! Oh, no, he has done it now!
Bane’s whole correction’s union has moved against him and wants no part of the unqualified Moore and this is their response!?!? Gahler wrote a letter?!?
That’s not the point nor is that it was Peck who wrote the article. The point is what Moore was doing had NOTHING to do with Gahler. Gahler was not with MSP he was running for Sheriff. The inquiry was personal and vindictive. JUST LIKE JESSE. So quit acting like he’s better in this regard. At least be honest about what he did – it was shitty. If it were Jesse inquiring into Gahler before he left you would be up in arms…. I hope your blind following doesn’t bite you in the ass. It’s clear to anyone with eyes they both play dirty. I guess that’s ok with you until it bites you. Evil you know vs evil you don’t yet know. That’s your option here
Honesty really is the issue here. All jeff has to do is admit exactly what he did and why he did it. These attempts at unringing the bell are laughable.
People that take no personal responsibility for their actions are not to be trusted in positions of responsibility. This really isn’t that difficult to recognize and the cover up and justification by others is nothing short of pathetic.
One would hope the true supporters of Gahler would encourage him to deal with this head on instead of hiding from and deflecting the truth but their defensive stance reveals the true problem…. Lack of responsibility.
LOL! Honesty is the issue here? Bane lies and is caught on video. Mr. Gahler did “meet this head on” at the Union meeting the other night where Bane thought he would shock the crowd. Gahler put Bane in his place and no one in the room left thinking Mr. Moore isn’t a political hack appointment at taxpayer’s great expense.
You may have missed the news flash, This is about Jeff and an his deceitful actions.
Instead of being just another water carrier for Gahler do us all a favor and try to keep up with the topic.
I noticed when Gahler brought up the lie Bane told the to Corrections Union Bane never looked up or made a comment. Yet he was giddy with the two letters he had with him concerning Gahler and his public information request.
Bane also brought up the Dagger several times and even accusing Gahler of posting under assumed names. According to the Baners no one reads the Dagger and our comments do not matter. When I see Bane’s face get red and that tone in his voice you can tell it matters. This letter by Peck is as weak as Bane’s performance in the debate. Anyone who can read body language could tell Bane was on his heels all night and scored a big fat zero. I know people think I am a jerk but it was kinda sad to see Bane this way. You had a chance to do good things, and you just did not do what you said.
“I noticed when Gahler brought up the lie Bane told the to Corrections Union Bane never looked up or made a comment.”
Marc you were there?
In what capacity?
I also am DSU member and I was supporting Gahler but after seeing the way he would treat a close friend, not a chance. I also was at the meeting and I feel the Bane slam dunked it and won the evening hands down. So DSU Member, disgrace that you are, not everyone left there in Gahler corner…..
Really, Bane can lie to the CO Union and that is okay? Now you have a problem with Gahler? Please you are another Baner who is posting yet again under a new name. There is not enough Flex Seal “as seen on tv” to stop the sinking Pearl.
Okay Mrs. Moore and by that I mean Chuckie’s mommy. Why is this letter not from Mr. Moore and instead some sleaze who couldn’t even get on the ballot? Maybe Mr. Moore would like to debate Mr. Gahler next? That might be fun to watch!
I laugh when grown men name call. If you can’t argue your point with validity how about you hush up like a good little boy and don’t let anyone actually know how stupid you are.
Fyi Moore was the first person to point out the situation on his fb.
Again off point of the argument. I know it’s hard. Try to keep up.
Be careful with her, she is part of the “Mommies stick figure mini-van club” and she has this tough guy “Stevie” as the enforcer, when he takes his apron off he means business.
The real truth here is that Mr. Gahler has been questioning the performance of the current Sheriff. He hasn’t made anything personal; he’s just focusing on the actions and policies of the Sheriff. He hasn’t called him any names, nor attack him or his friends, or former friends in a personal manner. Even when the Sheriff was mistaken in his comments regarding the personal actions of some 70 Troopers, Mr. Gahler tailored his comments and responses in a professional demeanor. The Sheriff and his followers do nothing but attack Mr. Gahler’s character, but to this date have not yet to come up with any realistic proven instances.
I personally think that some of the supporters on both sides are getting a bit carried away and taking this too personal. But their passion is well defined.
Agree?
And yes Mr. Peck, sorry but this posting really makes one wonder what your motive is as well as integrity level. Good Luck to you.
Let’s be honest about what Jesse said.. He didn’t say gahler was responsible for 70 troopers being fired. He said he was involved in a measure that cut 70 trooper positions. Now- I know gahler has denied being responsible for 70 troopers losing jobs but has anyone ever asked him If he did a cost analysis and was able to eliminate unnecessary positions to save money? Any higher up will tell you part of their jobs is doing this and MSP is no different. Maybe he was never part of a cost analysis or budget evaluation but I highly doubt that as he held supervisory positions that require such measures. Unfortunately noone has asked such questions they just believe answers without asking the right questions.
Why don’t you email him or call him and ask? The rest of us know the truth, you want to spread doubt. Sorry, no one is buying.
I don’t need to ask. It is the JOB of supervisors to evaluate and cut as needed to save money. To not believe there’s some truth in it as least is just not rational. But what you are saying is you blindly believe it’s just a complete lie and you don’t really care to know the truth.
If it is always the job of Supervisors to evaluate positions and cut as needed to save money, how many positions at the HCSO have been cut by their supervisors over the past eight years? After all, its their job and surely there is “some truth” to that.
Well union member I’m glad you asked such a question. I’m pretty sure that within the past month the supervisors at the DC were asked to look at staffing ratios and cut unnecessary positions that were causing an abundance of OT. My numbers could be off but I’m fairly certain numbers were decreased by 13 positions with all shifts tallied together. Because that’s how businesses function they must look at spending and cut the fat. Now- if you compare the size of the DC to the entire MSP you will see how cutting 70 positions overall might not be Ll that difficult and might not result in jobs lost but in reduction of OT. Thanks for such a great question.
you have no clue that a supervisor does anymore than what a Major or a Captain does! Cuts in positions never have anything thing to do with a field commander be it a Sergeant or even a Major. Those decisions come from the top and cuts in funding are never according to on the job performance (since it is very subjective) unless there is a specific incident that determines a individuals termination but are almost always according to seniority.
Since when do supervisors “cut positions?” Yes, they evaluate the personnel they supervise, but eliminate positions? Hardly.
Even at the command staff level they can’t and don’t eliminate positions. That type of power comes from funding. At best, a commander might be directed to do an analysis of operations and see where positions could be eliminated to meet funding shortfalls, but actually eliminating positions is going to come from higher than that (agency head at least, if not higher.)
Exactly the point. Jeff didn’t cut position or fire troopers. He was however in multiple supervisory roles that would’ve included budgeting. To think he wasn’t asked to look into excess spending is silly. He was high enough up he may have not even done it himself but headed up. Project done by others. The point is anyone who knows anything about supervisory positions know budget is always part of it. Jeff has never denied that. In true trooper form he denied a specific thing (firing 70 troopers) he did not however deny that which he was accused of (being involved in a study where 70 positions were able to be eliminated) and semantics here means EVERY THING
@concerned wife
Just read a post you made on August 30, regarding eliminating 13 positions at the Detention Center. So you are saying that Sheriff Bane has eliminated 13 positions at the Detention Center.
No @union member. Again, please try to actually read an entire post and keep with the conversation. I’d try to put it in more simple terms for you but I can only dumb it down so much.
The DC staffing was off. Too much OT was being utilized needlessly. So the positions that were cut were OT positions not jobs. That was kind of the point of the post that when looking at budget and saying positions are cut- positions doesn’t necessarily mean JOBS. In this case it meant OT positions. It’s a fiscally responsible thing to do and it’s expected unless you want to throw funds away that can be utilized elsewhere. The MSP is no different. They evaluate such things as well. Now, for me even if gahler did this – if it was fiscally responsible I’m alright with that- it doesn’t sound like a horrific or bad thing. What I find not quite truthful is how it’s being presented. Bane never said he fired troopers yet that is the only part gahler denied. I’d far rather have a fiscally responsible leader than a purposeful liar.
In closing please don’t ask a question about what I meant when I make a post. I say what I mean and mean what I say. Next time try reading it again until you understand.
The comments on dagger related to any Sheriff Topic make me question the deputies and there work ethic. If that’s what you are trying to do then you win. But you look like a bunch of idiots
Further proof that things are not well in the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. It’s a real mess, and someone new is needed to try and right the ship.
Peck has probably been promised a $100K job year too to clean the toilets at the jail. But he only gets it if he can get three people to sign a petition for him so he might not make it.
You must be referring to the understaff and 3/4 unopened wing. He couldn’t supervise the brush he would use.
The Baners say Marc Eaton hurts Gahler’s cause, well Peckerwood just shot Bane in the foot with this one. No Doubt
Mr. Peck, your post is outright ludicrous and immature for a “Former Candidate for Sheriff of Harford County.” Mr. Gahler’s integrity, his unwavering commitment, and his utmost respect to the citizens of Harford County is beyond reproach.
Mr. Peck, your own statements now truly show the citizens of Harford County and the distinguishable men and women of the Sheriff’s Department that Mr. Gahler’s integrity and leadership is not and will not be affected by one’s friendship: “former close friend and colleague of his, Chuck Moore'” and “why did he try and disgrace and possibly initiate an internal investigation against a well-respected Commander and a friend. It should be noted that Chuck Moore was Gather’s best man in his wedding.” Thank God your candidacy didn’t even get of the ground. (It’s actually a disgrace to even call yourself a candidate). We now can see that if you were Sheriff, you would run the Department the same as Mr. Bane, a Department based on friendship and who are the biggest brown noses.
Your post also brings to light, Mr. Gahler’s true belief, that no one is above the law. Under Mr. Gahler’s leadership, every Deputy will be treated with fairness and each Deputy will be treated equally despite any type of friendship between the two. Today, the Deputies are fully aware of Mr. Banes failed leadership and his arbitrary, unfair and vindictiveness punishments.
Friendship or not, if Mr. Chuck Moore violated any policies or laws, then he needs to be held accountable. Mr. Moore has no one to blame, but himself. Let’s not forget, it appears that Mr. Moore went behind Mr. Gahler’s back looking for a job from Mr. Bane while his “friend” Mr. Gahler is running a successful campaign against Mr. Bane.
Is their friendship really any of your business or my business in the first place? You did a great service, your post only enhances Mr. Gahler’s run for office and shows his outstanding integrity.
You started out a Republican, changed to Independent, what’s it going to be in 2018, Democrat. Do us a favor, the first two parties didn’t work for you, give it up! You sir,…are an idiot!
–Woody
@Woody
You are 100% correct. Mr. Bane stated the other night at the debate that he would never make a complaint against another brother police officer. Well isn’t that his job as Sheriff to hold people accountable? Apparently if Bane sees another police officer violating the law or policy, it is swept under the rug! Does the Forwood case come to mind for anyone else? Mr. Moore should have been criminally investigated if he was there for the purpose of promoting Bane and soliciting a job as Mr. Gahler so accurately predicted.
Bob Peck, you sound like a 5th grade girl concerned with who likes who and who said what. Why do you even have a Bob Peck for Sheriff facebook page or are you leaving it up for your next run at the office when you try to beat incumbent Jeff Gahler in 2018? What perks did Uncle Jesse promise you to make yourself look like a fool on his behalf? This is a perfect example of how Lionel Bane rolls. Won’t hike up his sleeves and do the dirty work himself, just sets one of his mutts loose. I am now humming the theme song from the Titanic as your laughable letter has sunk the ship even further. Thanks Bob Peck for Sheriff!
I looked at the letter that was written and it seems straightforward enough. It does not appear to be a personal attack but just an inquiry over some possibly legitimate concerns. Obviously, if Captain Moore did nothing wrong, than he has nothing to fear. Now Mr. Bane’s supporters, including Mr. Moore, are using this to make personal attacks. Up until this letter I had a greater respect for Sheriff Bane to not resort to such negative attacks, but I see I was mistaken. Another vote for Mr. Gahler has just been decided.
Gahler wrote a letter,Beck wrote a letter He said this he said that! He did that he did not do that?
Allow the record of the current Sheriff,stand for it self! Crime down.Gang activity diminished
Ok, Traffic needs to be dealt with, so give the Bane guy four more and then let the Trooper do it!
This Sheriff is good for the job, i do not see him trying to win office by making the other guy’s look bad!
one more think, i am certain losing the endorsement of the deputies at the jail hurt a bit,but that is what makes America great we can freely vote and still keep our freedoms, and positions in life. the inside stuff is different than what we citizens see. so the citizens need to decide on the record not the politics of his term. Clearly he and his men and women on the road in the jail and in the courts have done a great job under his leadership. President Reagan clearly surrounded himself with a great staff, seemingly the sheriff has done this as well the combinations works,keep it and let the name calling and negative back and fourth be silenced.
Here is your good Sheriff making up lies. If he is going to lie about this maybe he would lie about a bunch of other things like crime stats.
Pay attention to the comment from Bane saying he knew the one Deputy was looking for a job. Another lie from Bane.
http://youtu.be/rBfBMiqvCJw
So, you don’t think that Sheriff Bane is trying to make Mr. Gahler look bad?? Did you miss the video of Bane lying to the Correctional Officers Union regarding Gahler eliminating 70 trooper positions? Now comes Mr. Peck, a Bane shill, who will do Banes bidding for him so that Bane does not have to do it himself, while hoping for a nice job from Bane if he is re-elected.
Mr. Peck thought Sheriff Bane was such an unsuccessful Sheriff that he was going to run against him because he thought change was so necessary in the Sheriff’s Office. Now, Sheriff Bane is better than sliced bread and Gahler is the bad guy. Anyone who doesn’t see through this simply doesn’t want too.
You are using semantics to try and cover the facts of Gahlers past. You sound like Slick Willie asking what the meaning of is “is”
If you really think I’m using semantics to “cover” Gahler’s past, then lets have you spell it our for us in plain English.
To be fair, Gahler has only denied being responsible for 70 troopers losing jobs BUT THAT NOT WHAT BANE SAID. You buncha sheep. If you believe that a supervisor in MSP isn’t asked to constantly do analysis’ and cut unnecessary positions to save money you are a pure idiot. Gahler has never denied being involved in budgetary analysis’ where positions were cut back to save money. Ask the right questions if you want honest answers.
Gahler tried to get his best man fired from his job and wants us to believe he didn’t put 70 of his fellow troopers out of a job. Sounds legit.
If this accusation is true about the “seventy troopers” that were fired. Why didn’t Bane have a copy of that at the debate to go along with his other two letters? Why? Because it never happened. It was a lie that Bane thought would never see the light of day. Thankfully someone posted the video and it saw the light.
@Concerned Wife,
Labeling those who might disagree with your position or just not see it the way you do as idiots and sheep will bring them right over to your way of thinking. Incredible! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
@ralph, I didn’t label anyone, but if that shoe fits strap it on and wear that bitch. My point stands that if you cannot stand back and look at it from all angles but instead blindly follow without a solitary thought – you are a sheep (and an idiot). I don’t have a side. I think we are dealing with two people (Jesse and gahler) who are very much the same. That’s what I’m trying to get you to open your eyes to. I could care less about being right I just think eyes wide open should be implemented.
Concerned Wife,
There are none so blind as those who will not see. This quote applies to the GahlerLITES who post non-stop on this site. The only thing I would add to your insightful comments are that Bane is a known commodity but Gahler isn’t. What I notice is that these Gahler supporters go after anyone who disagrees with them. If this is representative of Gahler, how do they justify supporting him for doing the same thing they accuse Bane of doing. They don’t really care how they portray deputies or others in the HCSO as long as it smears Bane. They are disgusting and this is going to come back and bite them when the election occurs.
I’d like to know whose brilliant idea is was for the CO union to not back an incumbent. If gahler doesn’t win they just shot every co right in the foot. At least the LE union is smart enough to know better. Poor leadership yet again.
@eaton – I can’t disagree it’s dumb of Jesse to not have the proof. But to think gahler hasn’t been involved in analysis that cut positions…is kind of silly and you know it. Gahler tho in true trooper form was very careful with his words. He denied being “involved in a study that resulted in 70 troopers bring fired”… I believe that. I believe Noone was fired at his hand. But again that’s not what bane accused him of.
I can’t wait until Gahler is sheriff and then throws that lit’l twit Moore out on his useless ass.
Of course Gahler will throw him out because he isn’t vindictive and would never fire someone just because he doesn’t like them….
Oh wait that’s what Bane does….
Keep diggin boys Bain loves you.
If Mr. Gahler is elected Sheriff he will replace Mr. Moore who has no correctional experience with Mr. Capasso, a retired Major with over 25 years correctional experience. Gahler has previously stated his intent to make Mr. Capasso the Warden of HCDC. I don’t see anything personal or vindictive since Gahler has made his intentions known prior to Mr. Moore being appointed by Sheriff Bane.
Of course he would fire him, He tried to get his former best friend and best man fired before and it didn’t work. If elected sheriff, Jeff could finally get Chuck in the unemployment line, but with only getting a meager amount of votes in the last election looks like Chuck will be the one who has a job.
The warden needs to be an effective leader not necessarily well versed in corrections. That is what supervisory staff is there for. Again, Capasso is a well loved leader but he tolerated subpar supervisors because they were his buddies. It’s amazing to me how you’ve made your mind up about a man (chuck) who was a well loved leader in his career as well. It almost sounds like some are scared of someone getting things straight at the DC after years of no leadership. You want what is comfortable to you. It’s a juvenile way of thinking. A well thought person would say, I’ll support my leader and see what he’s capable of……Just a thought.
@concerned wife
If your last comments are directed to me, it matters not what I think. What matters is what Mr. Gahler thinks. I am simply stating facts. As for good leadership, that has apparently been demonstrated by both Major Capasso and Captain Moore. The difference is one is a proven leader in Corrections and the other has zero experience in corrections. Apparently, that makes a big difference to Mr. Gahler.
So Mike Welsh using your logic , Jesse Bane has experience being sheriff and Gahler has none so the only logical choice for the job is Bane.
Funny how that works isn’t it?
Perhaps you along with the other Gahler boobs should contemplate your response before hitting that post comment button.
And you, Mr. Rabbit, miss what I said. It’s not my logic, it is apparently Mr. Gahler’s logic, and if he is elected Sheriff it will be his logic that counts.
@ Mr. Rabbit,
Seems you too hit the reply button too quick. Without going into who I support or anything else, look at the statement again.
Both Capasso and Moore are credited in the post as being well qualified leaders, correct? So you jump ahead with your comment about corrections experience and so forth. Still with me? So Gahler has extensive leadership with law enforcement supervision, right? Given that, he should be just as qualified with experience for leading a substantial amount of LE officers. Some MSP Captains supervise more troopers than employees of HCSO. Now to the jail supervision, do you think that a strong Warden with Correctional Experience make sense? Not naming Capasso specifically, just a person with that qualification. The Sheriff ultimately supervises the Warden.
Get that logic at all?
Oh now I get it… To be good at corrections you must have experience but to be a good sheriff no experience is needed.
Makes perfect sense now…..
Thanks for putting a smile on my face on such a hot day. 🙂
You’re head is as thick as today’s humid air. I was saying that Gahler has extensive law enforcement supervision experience. When do you graduated grade school, this year perhaps.
Jack Ass, have another beer and enjoy your MSP retirement on us.
How much experience does Chuck have running a detention center? Zero so Jeff is going to remove him from that position.
How much experience does Jeff have being a sheriff? Zero so no job for you.
Thanks for playing.
Hey Jackass,
Thanks for making us laugh. Ever think a State Police Trooper Commander or Division Commander has the sam experience as Sheriff Does? Leading an agency… and most Sheriff Offices in MD aren’t even full servise.
You really are an idiot.
You’re playing with yourself
Yea Rabbit your so dumb yo don’t even remember voting for the division commander do you? Division Commander is like God of the MSP only the president or the pope can fire them you idiot.
The statistics that you are referring to that Bane has been using are from the 2011 Maryland Uniform Crime Report………3 years ago. I recall there were 4 shootings the weekend before last…..in Edgewood. A “home invasion” on Trappe Road not long ago in which the homeowner was shot and killed in front of his family. Then, there is the elderly lady that was also, recently, the victim of a “home invasion” and she was beaten and/or stabbed. The list goes on…………
More Gahler deceit. Why on earth couldn’t the man who wants to be sheriff just call his old friend and best man and asked him the question directly? That letter is absolutely childish and full of unfounded allegations. Does Harford county really need a Sheriff that won’t address issues head on? Every Harford county resident should be outraged at Gahlers total disrespect and pure arrogance displayed in that letter. .
Well actually to date he hasn’t addressed any issues, just a bunch of finger pointing. Bane may not be good but sure better than the Gahler.
I read the letter. Gahler didn’t allege anything. He stated facts and then asked questions regarding the facts. Was there ever a response to Mr. Gahler’s questions? If there was, it should have been included in the the comments put forward by Mr. Peck. Absent that, it makes Mr. Peck look small.
Politics in Harford County have always been a hard ball sport. But nothing as amateur as what is being put forward by the Bane campaign. It makes you wonder who is really in charge of the Bane campaign. Surely not the same person who was running his first two. What is occurring here is really juvenile.
You say the letter is fact based and alleges nothing?
Gahler said Chucks appearance “appears to be political based”, (allegation not fact)
Touring the detention center is “suspicious” (allegation)
I would suggest you choose whom you vote for carefully but since you can’t tell fact from fiction I fear that is beyond your abilities.
The only thing politically motivated was Gahler’s inquiry. Apparently you can only seek employment that supports him otherwise it’s an issue. But I’m sure that only pertains to his ex best friend, you all will be just fine.
It was addressed, but Peck like Bane skirts the issue and only uses half truths. Peck would make a great Minion.
Marc, you and lenny lane like that word “minion”. That is not a common word now is it?
Actually, since the movie “Despicable Me” came out four years ago, I have heard many people use the word “minion” in normal conversations when prior they might have used lackey or stooge. Since you don’t even have the testicular fortitude to come out and accuse Marc Eaton and Lenny Lane of being the same person, I’ll ask and answer the question for you.
Q: Are Marc Eaton and Lenny Lane the same person using two different screen names on the Dagger?
A: No, you dolt, they are not.
Concerned Teacher, Did I hit a nerve, or is this Lenny/Marc responding again with a different name. I certainly hope that you are not a teacher. I would hate to think our children are being taught by people like you.
Nope, no nerve hit. I’m neither of those two, and I’ve been commenting on this website for three or four years now. You would never know if I’ve taught one of your children because I don’t believe that politics has any place in the classroom, and none of my students have ever or will ever know what my political leanings are. Perhaps I was the one who struck a nerve since you didn’t really do anything other than personally attack me, which seems to be a common thread amongst Bane supporters.
Concerned Teacher,
Your concern is promoting Gahler. Don’t soil the teaching profession with your pseudo-knowledge and arrogant attitude.
You are quite the entertainer, Monster. Show me where I said I was supporting Gahler. Although I will probably vote for him, I’m more concerned with pointing out hypocrisy wherever and whenever I see it. As for pseudo-knowledge, that’s a nice SAT phrase that doesn’t really exist. After all, what is fake knowledge? Maybe it is something stated as a fact when it is a lie, Apparently this is something the current Sheriff knows about. And my attitude isn’t arrogant. I’m the least arrogant person I know. I can be kind of smug at times, and to be honest I think in this discussion with you I feel justified in being smug. I’m calm, logical, and have facts on my side. You are irrational and emotional and can only use personal attacks on me because you have nothing else to argue with. CT 1, M 0.
I love this crap. Law Enforcement imploding against one another. He said, she said $hit. It shows the integrity of all you lying bozos. Once and for all, THERE IS NO ONE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IN HARFORD COUNTY THAT CAN TELL THE TRUTH! They simply aren’t capable of it. You can trade one Nazi for another, the sheriff will still be a Nazi. Until you lying pigs learn that truth is more important than convictions, all of Harford County will continue to suffer……..
Soul crusher- how many times have you been arrested? It appears you have an ax to grind. Your statements are just laughable. Primarily one should not use “all, every, noone. ..etc” especially when making a judgment because the validity of the statement becomes null and void. Then you call employees pigs. Again, it turns rational people off to any point you may have formed with your two starving brain cells. Do everyone a favor and hush.
I speak the truth, it hurts doesn’t it. I only wish the same professional destruction upon members of your Court, SAO and Sheriff’s Office, that was visited unto me, by an illegal and unconstitutional conviction. I’m not doing this to get anything, I want to make sure you A$$holes can’t do it to anybody else. Concerned wife GFY………..
Soul crusher why don’t you and the rest of your kind jump on the soul train to the soul plane and fly your useless ass back where you belong.
@ soul crusher- ah I hit a nerve. Let me guess, you were completely innocent. Not only were you wrongfully arrested, you were wrongfully convicted, wrongfully sentenced, and just all over treated wrongfully. You sir either have the worst luck on the face of the earth or are just like every other criminal out there- a victim. Let me get my kleenex while I cry for you. Get a job and take some responsibility. Big baby.
Concerned wife, shouldn’t you be baking cookies and cleaning the house instead of getting involved in men’s business?
Well, if you are a wife of a Harford County Cop, which I doubt, then you should know that your husband must be a liar and a thief. After all he works in Law Enforcement in Harford County. Secondly, I bet I’d hit your nerve with my 8 inch phallus. You wouldn’t even remember that sorry excuse for a husband when I was done with you. Stretch you out like you’ve never been stretched. Now, I did do something wrong, but your husband and his buddies committed a completely illegal search and seizure. You colostomy bag of a State’s Attorney, Joseph Cassilly, and his liar extraordinaire, Christopher Tabone, concealed and tampered with evidence. I wasn’t even allowed a suppression hearing by your corrupt courts. So, once again GFY, Biooooootch!
And if you don’t think your Judges do wrong, why don’t you check out Harford Circuit Case 12C14001685. I think you’ll change your mind about the Disgrace Judge Carr once you’ve read the transcripts. Your courts are corrupt, just as I stated. See, its not that I think you guys are corrupt, I know you are………..
I am sure you were innocent? Wrong place wrong time? Give us a break.
Oh my Lamar I just snorted water out of my nose laughing at you. Almost laughing as hard as I am at sound crusher and his 8cm phallus. Thanks for the comedy though.
Well @Soul Crusher ie Ryan D White. Why not use your real name as you rail against law enforcement. With the number of traffic violations you have you should know everyone, when you add in workman’s comp fraud (remember I called that when I said just to get a job)- you are just a little boys out done wrong, aren’t ya
Nope, I’m not Ryan, seriously I’m not. I’m Abughdadien, Aserolf, Asmodius, maybe even Aaron or Adam, but not Ryan……..
Oh no, I’m being attacked by Marc “Always” Eaton and his tidy bowl machine again. Problem with you cops and your thin blue line is you forget we all live in the big blue marble. When you lie to gain convictions, sway elections, etc., you are still promoting a lie. Now, supposedly, you all have all this integrity and honor, yet here you are proving my point every day. Marc, narc, uh fart, you claim that Bane lies and is a tyrant. I prefer to say Nazi. The Banites all claim Gahler lies and is pushing a platform of negativity. Quite frankly, you all lie and are nothing more than a bunch of pigs on the wing. Big man pig man, haha charade you are. If both sides are claiming lies and breaches of the others integrity, well, you guys are kinda proving my point with every vicious post you employ. I on the other hand, see you all for what you are, a group of washed up, tired old Nazis whose hypocrisy is only over shadowed by Marc “Always” Eaton’s gut. So, call me what you will, shine that thumbs down button up real nice and pretty, then turn that SOB sideways and shove it straight up your candy A$$. Cops in Harford County make me sick, nothing but a bunch of grown men acting like a bunch scorned women, claiming everyone else is sheeple, yet serving the Nazi regime everyday of your life. Get a job that requires less perjury leslies, oh I forgot, all that training of yours requires perjury to be a prime requisite………..
Uh 10-4, Marc was caught masturbating while eating a cheese burger over at the Burger King again. Over…….
@ryan seriously, go get a job. I imagine it could be had as you’ve been charged more times than it was possible to count. You are a jobless, useless, pathetic criminal. I’m sure your mom is so very proud. However, do everyone a favor and just check out of the condo. You have nothing to add but mindless hatred at people who’ve had to deal with your drunk ass over and over. You have no substance therefore your claims fall on deaf ears. Bye bye.
Soul if we s nazis you’d have been the first one in the chamber. Too bad the criminal justice system let you out. Move to Ferguson
Wow, what fine upstanding PIGs you are. Yes, the Nazism is strong in you Cheese Eater, you’ll be a fine liar in court one day. Whats wrong guy, nothing to do over at HCDC today. C’mon the day is young, I’m sure you guys will kill some defenseless person over at the Harford Hilton some time today! Just to let you know, I’m not black, but I have a black little heart that loves crushing souls, holes and poles. Uckfay Ouyah Opkay! I’m sure you can translate that pig latin punk……..
Soul. What are ya a wigger? Go away
Nah, I gonna stays right here masser…..
I for one think we should get Jane Miller to look into this stuff with a captain in the state police spending his work day soliciting for a job. Seems very unethical to me and maybe even illegal. What kind of people is Bane hiring? I call for Sheriff Bane to remove this controversial appointment from his administration! He has already had one of his majors criminally charged and now he wants to put another person in his command staff who appears to be of very questionable character. Bane’s lack of good judgement continues.
Better yet, Jane miller should into snowball gate, she needs to look at entrance and exit wounds. Had this happen to a yo we would have had a Ferguson.
Jayne miller- you are funny. Might want to fact check before posting. Nothing Moore did was wrong. He was OFF duty when touring the jail. The MSP found nothing amiss when looking into the inquiry Gahler initiated. So prior to questioning someone’s character perhaps, just maybe, you should research what you are speaking of.
Bane hired and retained mark Forwood and Fred Visnaw. Look it up. Cops doing bad things working for Bane. Nothing new here. Chuck Moore has no corrections experience and is nothing more than a political hire.
Is there such a thing in a political race as a non political hire? If that means candidates are picking the best people for the job to help them further themselves? Seems like that is how it is supposed to go.
It is a shame that Sheriff Bane would allow his campaign to be represented in such a way. I know both Jeff and Chuck and worked with them both and for them both. For years after they had a falling out, Jeff would always treat Chuck with the utmost respect and even though Jeff outranked him, Chuck would return the kindness with outright contempt. I thought Jeff should have charged Chuck for conduct unbecoming on several occasions, but he always was the bigger man. Too bad their personal relationship has come to this, but to be sure, Chuck has lost most all of his MSP friends and supporters, so much so, I don’t even think he could muster enough friends for a retirement party. Shame on you Mr. Peck and shame on you Mr. Bane.
Gahler tries to underhandedly get Cuck fired for doing nothing wrong.
Everyone could use more friends like Jeff….. Not.
If Chuck had the common sense of a turtle, he would have been off the clock and not in uniform for this event. Is this the kind of great judgement Bane seeks in a leader? No. Just another bobble head. I have an idea. If you don’t want to get caught doing something wrong – don’t do anything wrong. Too bad he wasn’t fired. Bane has fired people for much less and of course had to hire them back as we all know.
If you look closely the MSP had zero issue with him being in uniform at that event. And his tour at the jail was on a day off. I know this sounds silly but- troopers retire and look for other jobs just like deputies. If he had been at wawa interviewing on a day off, would it be an issue for you- or for Gahler? Would he have filed an inquiry then? The answer is no. It was politically and personally motivated. Admit the obvious because you look like idiots defending such behavior. Vote for who you think will lead the HCSO the best but do not pretend Gahler is less vindictive than Jesse is pointless at this juncture in time.
Why would a trooper on official duty show up to an event out of uniform and off the clock?
Wouldn’t that would be grounds for dismissal, or don’t you know?
Why would it matter to Gahler? Here’s fact. Gahler made a cognitive choice to target chuck here. It was completely politically and personally motivated. that is the definition of vindictive.
Ps: your post makes zero sense. Out of uniform and off duty….you mean like he went to an event like you and I? Egads
So you are okay with troopers onduty in uniform going around and applying for other jobs instead of the job they are suppose to be doing? Complete non-sense and you know it Mrs. Moore. Wawa would be bad enough, but a political thing, that much worse. Your husband has no one but himself (and Mr. Peck) to cry to.
That’s not what happened. What is wrong with the MSP and the truth?
@msp survivor, please fact check before posting.
Moore was off and not in uniform while touring the jail. When he was in uniform it was re: aviation and MSP had no concern as not only has he been an area commander but was involved in programs associated with the event he attended. So where is this “in uniform applying for a job” come into play? However none of this is really the question, is it. The question is what the bloody hell would it matter to gahler? He was retired from MSP running for Sheriff. Why was anything chuck was doing any of his concern? The answer is rather simple: it wasn’t his business. It wasn’t his concern. He was attempting to injure chuck for both political and professional reasons. So again please explain how that is any better than what others accuse bane of?
Oh, @msp survivor. Yet again I’m not chucks wife. I know it’s hard for some troopers (and ex troopers) but some of us are actually honest. Who I am really matters not. My points are valid and No one to date has argued one effectively.
Peck, you obviously don’t have a clue and you don’t have your facts right. Shame on you for purporting false information. You have proven that you really are a light weight. By the way, that’s what most of your Baltimore county police brothers think of you. Just go away.
Most of his Baltimore County brothers do not think he is a light weight. They place him below that level. His actions since retirement verify his brothers thoughts. First Peck goes around to Republican events and puts himself forward as a possible Republican candidate for Sheriff. Telling members of the various clubs and organizations that Bane has made a real mess of things at the Sheriff’s Office and Peck wants to make a difference in restoring honor and integrity to the Sheriff’s Office.
When he sees that he does not stand a snowballs chance in hell of getting the Republican nomination for Sheriff he fashion’s himself an Independent to remain in the race. All the while he is meeting with Sheriff Bane and giving Bane feedback about what the various Republican organizations are thinking regarding Bane run for a third term. Legal? Yes. Underhanded? Yes with a capital YES! Mr. Peck along with Mr. Moore have done what many weak people do. They have decided to join Bane in his bid for a third term with the promise of some high paying position in Banes administration as their reward.
Bane has already announced Mr. Moore’s appointment to a position which pays anywhere between $98,446, and $172,702. Nice pay for someone who has zero experience in managing a jail or correctional facility. The taxpayers and voters of Harford County should question this action by Bane. After all it is out money!! One can only wonder what Bane has in mind for Mr. Peck if Bane gets reelected. .
How is it ok that Jeff Gahler portrays himself in his MSP uniform on his campaign page? He also used it in the election 4 years ago before he retired. Jeff is willing to do anything to become Sheriff and will stop for nothing, even if it means trying to destroy other people and their distinguished career.
I will get right to the point- What Jeff Gahler is doing right now makes me sick. I have gone on record supporting Jeff but in the last two weeks he has taken things to far. Jeff Gahler do you realize that your are making the entire agency look like a bunch of incompetent Jackasses? I have talked to a few people on my shift and they feel the same. You have lost my endorsement vote. That does not mean I will vote for Jesse Bane so let me make that clear.
Let me get this straight. Bane and Gahler just had a debate before the LE Deputies Union on Thursday night this past week. Everyone thought Gahler blew Bane away. Almost all of the things which have appeared in the Dagger were discussed at the debate. Now you want us to believe that Gahlers action the past two weeks make you sick, and you won’t vote to endorse him, but you won’t vote for Bane come election time.
Exactly what has Mr. Gahler said that makes the rank and file employees at the HCSO look like a bunch of jackasses? I’ll concur that he has not been very complimentary of senior leadership, but the rank and file Deputies are certainly in concurrence with that observation. Sounds like more spin to me.
SP3 has never been a Gahler supporter, he is a Baner. He wants people to think he is a supporter and now he is damaged by Gahler’s actions. SP3, stop already,
Ok Marc out caught me, my hands are up please don’t shoot. You are a piece of work Marc, are you a doomsday prepper? I only ask because everything is a conspiracy with you
Welcome to world of Marc Eaton. He was like this his entire career.
I don’t want to comment too much I am overwhelming Marc. He is probably in a FaceTime meeting with Jeff and the other posse members trying to figure out what the next character assassination story will be.
SP3, or NP3 or 711.
Proud, do you want to put my career stats against yours? I had bumps in the road but at least I got out of the car by myself and made arrests. You may have made rank, but that is only because you were afraid of the dark and going to calls by yourself. As you post I see Bane in the chair across from you with his head in his hands. I guess you can put that law degree to good use now working for the ACLU after December right?
I keep hearing I am no threat, no one should pay attention to me yet you all continue to attack me. Your new plan of giving my posts thumbs down tells me you are worried Skippy.
By the way, how was I my entire career. Opinionated, and outspoken. If you don’t want a question answered then they should never ask me my opinion. I did it with respect to my supervisors but I spoke my mind. I did not run around their feet like some of you did like a puppy waiting for a treat.
No Marc I’m not HH but good try. Your a joke
in 2010 out of 20,977 voters , 7265 voted for Gahler. Who cares about that debate and what does it have to do with Gahler trying to get a trooper fired from his job? Will you mind when Gahler decides your job, needs to be his sacrifice for his success? Don’t think it could happen? His best man probably thought that too.
Jack rabbit lol you are Jack ass! Get your facts correct you ex msp drunk!!
Did the union take a vote yet? Did you our on who won the debate? No so how do you know that the majority thinks that Jeff won? Typical
You don’t need Jeff Gahler to make that department look like jackasses.
SP3, you really need to improve your grammar before you and only you, will no longer look like an incompetent jackass.
Here are a few suggestions sir:
1.) “…right to the point” There should be a comma after point Not a dash
2.) Lowercase w “with” Not a capital W “With”
3.) Describe what Jeff Gahler is doing right now that’s making you sick. Is Jeff Gahler right now going to the bathroom? vomiting? picking up dog feces? The reader has no clue what you are talking about. You leave it up to the reader to use their imagination. I just hope it’s not an immature rant trying to justify Peck’s incompetent post.
4.) “…on record supporting Jeff but in the…” There should be a comma before but ‘supporting Jeff, but in the…”
5.) The reader doesn’t know what you mean by “…he has taken things to far.” What things did Jeff Gahler take with him and where did he go? Did Jeff Gahler take luggage to California?
6.) It’s ‘too far’ Not “to far”
7.) Please remember it’s ‘you’re’ or ‘you are’ Not “your are”
8.) Why do you say “…he’s making the entire agency look like a bunch of incompetent Jackasses.” when you don’t provide the reader with any evidence supporting your accusation? You need to describe further on how Jeff Gahler is he “making the entire agency look like a bunch of incompetent jackasses?” There is noway that the entire agency looks like a bunch of incompetent jackasses. At this point, only you and Mr. Bane look like incompetent jackasses. You my friend, are making yourself look like an incompetent jackass with your multiple grammar errors.
9.) You say you “…talked to a few people on my shift and they feel the same.” Are we talking about 20 or 3 people? Are they Harford County Deputies, Bane cronies, or are they “people” you spoke with on your shift? You need to elaborate further on who you spoke with. The reader has no idea who we are dealing with.
My friend, please don’t write anymore posts until you can write competently. Oh, please write better on your paperwork. In court, you will make the agency look like a bunch of incompetent jackasses. Good day!
That’s the best you have to attack me with? You know a nerve is struck when Gahler has people attack your grammar. I’m just glad Jeff Gahler showed this side of himself before the election was over. Thanks for the advice English professor!!!!!!!
No, this is an old trick from another Baner David A Porter who likes to correct other peoples posts. I guess you went out and took you Gahler sign down today right? Thanks HH.
Marc I am not Holly. But what’s the problem with her? I don’t have an issue with her do you? If so why?
I was told by someone that they are asked to give thumbs up/down in support of Gahler on the dagger. That’s what this has come to
Jeffrey Gahler should write a letter about the unarmed kid that was murdered by a cop at the Rock Spring snowball shop
If the young man was actually murdered as you state, would it not be more appropriate for Sheriff Bane to write a letter about it?
I think that the county needs to revisit starting a police force to take over the law enforcement portion of HCSO.
The only thing that would accomplish is take away from each Harford County Citizen the right to choose their top Law Enforcement Officer. The County Executive would be very happy to have control over a major portion of the county budget. He currently does not have that control once the Sheriff’s Office budget is approved by council and becomes law.
Mike Welsh- Are you Jeff Gahlers PIO?
I would love to know how mike welsh knows so much about police in Harford and Baltimore Counties. Also, include the MSP. If he isn’t Gahler, he is very close to him and tries to play the role of just a good citizen. More crap from the GahlerLITES.
It’s really very simple. People in those agencies talk to me and give me information.
This entire election Marc Eaton, Mike Welsh, Deputy Dog, Lenny Lane, Union Member, Boot Bane, Marc’s 8th Inbred Cousin…etc have used Gestapo like tactics to character assassinate a good man. Some people bought into it including Jeff Gahler is now is attempting to paint Jesse as an evil man. But I do think that others see what Jeff is doing and see how vindictive Jeff truly is. It’s pretty sad how much people change
One thing for sure. Sheriff Bane has not changed. He has been the same for over 40 years in the HCSO, and a Judge recently called him on it.
Bane had ultimate say so on this female officer being fired but he didn’t target her. He took info presented to him and acted. He wasn’t out seeking to destroy someone. However gahler did, with chuck. So tell me how that’s not just as bad if not worse to purposefully target someone with intent to harm their livelihood. Yeah sure, Gahler way better.
Concerned wifey you are way wrong with your comment. Bane does target people as I have said a multitude of times, he targets those who dare to defy him or who supported another candidate in the last election. He is a predator, he waits patiently and then catches you off guard and attacks. Bane takes pleasure in destroying people. Too many exceptional agency employees have been his victims and are gone. I am not being melodramatic, this is how Bane operates.
The article is not about Banes alleged targeting anyone It’s about the proof positive that Gahler targeted Chuck.
You people blaming Bane for doing what Gahler has been caught red handed doing is beyond moronic.
Gahler needs to step up, address the issue and move on, Him letting a bunch of boobs in a never ending but Bane defense really is pathetic.
@lenny lane the point is is you think gahler is any better you are delusional. He did it to his ex best friend. If you think it won’t happen think again. Evil you know vs evil you don’t yet know. Are you willing to gamble?
Lenny Lane: You hit the bulls-eye on that statement! From what I have heard from older, retired Deputies, the incumbent Sheriff has been a vindictive predator within the Sheriff’s Department with an “I’ll show you” attitude. Then, when he leaves the building, he is all smiles, shaking hands and kissing babies just to get the votes. Personally, I would NEVER work for anybody that treated their personnel in that manner.
@ concerned wife, you don’t have a clue. That female deputy was targeted. Please don’t speak on issues you know nothing about.
@couragd honor integrity there are plenty of people who agreed with her IA findings and the resulting punishment. Clearly you don’t, and that’s alright, but do not assume everyone else agrees with you. It doesn’t make me less informed it means I do not see it like you do.
I think after this election I need to meet my extended family. It grows more and more every day on here.
Jeff Gahler says Steve Bodway will be his #2 in command. That’s a scary thought, the young deputies need to talk to their coworkers with at least 10 years on the job. Ask them about Steven Bodway. Make sure you listen to what they have to say.
Of course that’s not what he said and there is video to prove it.
That is what he said well basically. He said if he had to commit to his #2 that night it would be Bodway. I was at the meeting when he said that and it did not sit well with the crowd. He then after seeing that said that he would leave the door open for Ed Hopkins as a possibility. If you ask me that is BS but he didn’t want to risk endorsement votes. He also accused Sheriff Bane of stealing Ed Hopkins. I had never witnessed that side of Gahler and again I was not impressed.
While there is never a guarantee that something in the future will happen, I am fairly confident that if Gahler is elected that Colonel Hopkins would be someone who Gahler would very seriously consider as the number two man. I do believe that Ed Hopkins can separate the politics from the job and do the right thing if he were to remain as Chief Deputy.
Why won’t Jeff commit to his #2, what’s the hold up then Mike Welsh?
Great question for Mr. Gahler. Why don’t you contact and ask. He has provided several names of the people who he is considering as his #2. Hopkins was one of those people. I don’t speak for Gahler.
@SP3
Why would you lie about what was said especially when Bane said Gahler had talked to Hopkins. Obviously Gahler had the Hopkins possibility in his mind before Bane asked him based on what was said. It is on the video so no sense making up crap, it will just make everything you say become questionable, just like everything Bane says these days.
Once Bodway removed himself from the Walter, Williams, Higgins, Carlavero faction, just as Watts did, they showed their true colors. The two showed a high degree of integrity as well as realizing their past alliances were mistakes. Once on their own, they were decent to work with or for. Mr. Bodway is a well-educated, well versed law enforcement administrator and would be a fine asset to the HCSO as Chief Deputy. End of Story.
And Mr Watts is now enjoying a fullfilling and distinguished career elsewhere. Good for him as well.
Keep your sour grapes to yourself please.
Really and why is that? I myself had several incident dealing with Bodway when he was a supervisor. The problems were resolved and it was behind me. My career started with good supervision. PJO, Roy Mitchell, Rick Williams, Gary Vernon, Steve Bodway, Paul Wilkinson, Teresa Walter, John Bowman, Jordan Watss, and my last supervisor Joe ( Jobey) VanSeeters. Didn’t always agree with them but they treated me very well. Honestly, if Gahler said the Pope would be his number two they would still find problems with that. Just more scare tactics, really can it be worse the Major IA28 and Skippy?
A.) I have integrity, do you?
B.) how do you know Gahler had the Hopkins possibility in mind prior to Bane making the choice. It sounded to me like Gahler recently contacted Hopkins based on Banes response. Bane also said something to the tune of it would be nice if Gahler told Hopkins what Rank(if any) that Hopkins would hold in Gahlers command staff. Do you have inside info that indicates otherwise?
C.) you guys really attempt to attack anyone that disagrees with you. SAD
If you really want to know if Gahler had Hopkins in mind as #2 prior to Bane naming him why don’t you just ask Ed Hopkins.
And on that note and back to the subject. If Gahler wanted to know if Chuck was on or off the clock why didn’t he just ask Chuck….
You mental midgets should really think about what you write before hitting reply because eventually you say something that destroys your weak defense.
Well done sir (insert golf clap here)
I know he did. If you were at the Union Meeting when he spoke he had a name he didn’t want to give out because the person was still working there. That person was Eddie Hopkins.
Jeffrey Gahler doesn’t need the Law deputies union vote to win so who cares. How much credibility does the endorsement have anyway. Gahler will win without it
I have a question for the Harford County Voters who read the Dagger and are NOT affiliated with Law Enforcement. After reading the comments on the Dagger for the last few months, DO YOU FEEL SAFE? Do you think Law Enforcement in Harford County has any integrity? Do you feel like Law Enforcement has the Public’s BEST interest in their minds? Just wanted to check……..
Not even a little bit. Active retired or CO they are all looney.
SC, according to Proud to be a Libaturd, Monster, and now sp3 no one reads the Dagger and it does not matter. This is evident by the way they continue to try and hide comments with the thumbs down option. When I am at the swearing in ceremony after the election I wonder how many of you cowards who have hidden behind fake names will have the balls to confront me there? I will say ZERO!!
Yep, they do it to me all the time. I don’t care. When I have something to say and I want it to stick, I make sure they can’t touch the comments………..
Obama and so crusher could be siblings. Smelly cheese looking for handouts.
The SoulCrusher is white……..
The SoulCrusher is right……
The SoulCrusher is DYNOMITE!
Yes, the SoulCrusher is wasted…….
Hey, Cheese, what could Harford County possibly have that I would want? I’m not interested in anything but the reckoning. There isn’t enough money in that Law Library of yours to stop the avalanche I’ve started. So you can hand it out to some poor black folk up there in Naziville, I’m done with you people………
DFC Rambo Eaton- At what point did I say no one reads the dagger? I have never said that or eluded to that, this is yet another fabricated remark by you. Did you get it from a source? Also did you eve think that your posts are being hidden because people do read the dagger and are sick of your crap?
You just made my case. I know for a fact it is to hide my comments and nothing more. My phone rings often and the information keeps coming. I like that name by the way, I may start using it myself. Thanks.
Marc. your retirement must be torture if this is all you have to do and you enjoy it.
Don’t you have some pens to make?
No have them all made. Woking on some other projects right now. Being retired is great you can do so many things at once. Getting ready to go back to school for some more edumaction to learn computer IT. I do appreciate it so much that you are interested in my retirement, thank you ?says.
What a bada$$
SoulCrusher, you’re preaching to the choir.
Signed up just to say hello after finding your posts.
Is there any way to contact someone on this site?
I would like to speak with you, through email initially.
Thank you.
Sorry, I’m only available DaggerDirect. If you want to know something, just ask. If I find your request credible I’ll answer, but you may not like the answer………..
Soulcrusher,
Thank you for writing back. I understand your reluctance in another form of contact.
You mentioned some very specific items in several posts related to corruption. I wanted to speak with you further on the subject. While I would like to speak directly with you right now, caution is the order of the day. There must be a mutually agreeable way to discuss something without it being displayed for all to see. I am open to suggestions as long as it preserves both our anonymity.
thank you again, notsoulcrusher
Just ask Cassilly why Christopher Tabone doesn’t prosecute Task Force cases anymore. Ask him why Sean Marston, Aaron Penman, David Waldsmith, Etc. don’t have their names associated with Task Force cases anymore. Ask him why a large portion of convictions in Harford County are surrounded with due process errors that are never recognized by the Courts. Ask him why such a large number of convictions of African Americans in an area that has so few, in regard to population demographics, occurs in Harford County every year. Ask him why members of his office conceal and tamper with evidence, knowingly and willingly, in problem cases. Ask him why Harford County has such a high conviction percentage and exactly why so many are done by the plea bargain. Ask him why so many of his offices convictions obtained by plea bargains are acquired with the defendant behind bars with no way out of jail. I could do this all day long…. But, I can’t help you with anything but DaggerDirect communication, sorry……
Soulcrusher,
Sorry for the delay, work. Thank you for all the examples. We will research them further. I already knew how and what they do but any new details you may know are very helpful. Please be as specific as you can, always keeping in mind who is watching. I am very close to some of the items you mentioned, in fact, I found your posts while doing additional research on those items. Specific google searches hit on some of your posts because of what you mentioned in them. That’s why I signed up here. Without giving away or jeopardizing anything, I will tell you that things are underway in regards to “fixing” those very issues you have mentioned. Since I am that close I know what you’re saying is accurate, you can help all of this be exposed and addressed finally. Please continue in as much detail as you feel comfortable with. I won’t respond to anyone else’s posts, I’m came here just because of your posts and the details in them that I know are correct. I have no interest in arguing with deliberately blind and obtuse people. From the posts I read, that were responses to your posts, it’s obvious that the people responding know that this occurs. They know that some of the biggest criminals in Harford county are “inside” the building, not outside. What is underway has been for quite a while and is actually in its final stages before legal action, action that the public will be aware of, takes place. The pending actions are solid, irrefutable, and at a “level” far above anything they could control or influence, nothing will stop it. However we don’t want to miss anyone or anything. All those counts add up and each one, no matter how small, help complete the picture and demonstrate a clear “pattern and practice”. We know the players and their actions, but details you mentioned, details that others wouldn’t pick up on, made perfect sense to us. You seem to be close to things yourself. Protect yourself at all times but please continue. If you want to contribute to their legal downfall, and see them finally punished for their crimes, this is a legitimate chance to be a part of the pending actions. Thank you again for writing back. I hope we can continue.
Are these posts what you refer to as “dagger direct” or is that something else that I could sign up for?
DaggerDirect is what we’re doing right now. Forgive me if I seen skeptical, but the people I’m speaking of have been protected by the courts and the FEDS for years. The only way to get rid of them is to have them exposed before the public so they don’t get re-elected. The PEOPLE have the right to know of the corruption going on in Harford County and its Criminal Justice System. Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law is the story of many convictions in Harford County, you don’t get a fair trial, you are forced to take their Plea Deal or remain in Jail for up to two years and then you’re threatened with probation violation if you try to pursue Post Conviction Relief or even just try to tell your story to others. However, I’ve already helped myself as far as it can be taken at this point. What befuddles me is how Cassilly thinks he has waivers for all the laws and people’s rights he and his office violated. He refuses to prosecute cops who have broken the law and actually helps cover it up, even when the evidence is right in the court records. They do it so much and with such reckless abandon, that they have left residual evidence to the truth at every other corner. However, the current system in place just dismisses all the complaints as “Poppycock”. WTF, who uses that word nowadays. Even as hopeful as I am, that things will change, that the truth will be exposed about this County, I am pretty sure you’re a cop trying to pull some sort of an internet sting or something. I trust no one, I forgive no one and I don’t forget anything. Its a curse I was born with.
Soulcrusher,
You have every right, and indeed, the necessity to be skeptical and cautious. I’m not a cop, under ordinary circumstances I would consider that somewhat of a compliment. But when it’s in reference to law enforcement in Harford County, it’s insulting. I’m not personally insulted at all, and I understand the inference. I’m sure you have already been victimized to one degree or another regardless of anything you may or may not have done. And judging by the responses you get on here people would like to find/identify exactly who you are. I’m sure they only want to know so they can help or to right a wrong. (massive Sarcasm) I’m positive it would lead to some type of further reprisal, that’s why I hesitated to even try contacting you. I knew it would be difficult to establish private communications and even more so to build any level of trust or privacy, especially on a public forum.But please do continue. We have been checking some of your earlier statements, one in particular. Previously you mentioned a specific case, a standard “check” doesn’t specify anything in particular. Not exactly what the case is or specifically who it is against. Just has a list of defendants. Could you share or point me in the proper direction to verify that it is indeed against Judge Carr? I believe you, I have many other examples of the same thing, but if it is in fact directly against Judge Carr we will research it as fully as possible and add it to the items already in our possession. Please continue on, there is a way to establish contact anonymously both ways, but lets keep going like this until we are both a little more at ease. Thank you again for the contributions, please keep going to whatever level you are comfortable with, your input is being taken seriously.
Why don’t you both start a club. Or is Soulcrusher talking to himself?
alright use this – werdna@yopmail.com – Tell me who you are and what you want.
@FormerRepulicanformerIndenpendentcurrentLiberallovingcouldntgetoffthegroundformerCandidatePeck,
For your next letter can you tell us how abusive your wife is to troopers on traffic stops and how you have to call and apologize for her behavior when she gets a ticket after dropping your name doesn’t work? Look into that Mr. Gahler if you want to see something interesting.
While Gahler is going after people with some sort of personal vendetta that’s a great idea peckerwood.
You morons just don’t get it do you, you couldn’t help Bane any more if you tried.
They know all, and will tell you so. Marc is a good representative of Gahler. I agree, I hope they keep posting.
Sorry, have not banged one sign, attended no fund raisers and gave no money. Jeff represents himself and I don’t speak for him. I am anti Bane, have been since the beginning. Who is using this name today? Bane was really upset and accused Jeff of using a fake name on the dagger the other night. I guess he is okay with you guys hiding behind fake names right?
Mark, how come you only made it to dfc, aka slug?
I liked working the road Hedley, I was responsible for myself. I was able to get a lot of training that I could not have attended had I been a Cpl or Sgt. K-9, Police Motors, crash reconstruction, RADAR operator instructor and EVOC Instructor. Not all cops want to be a supervisor. By the way I was no slug.
Marc Eaton is a bore and not associated with gahlers campaign. On the other hand Fred you are intimate with Jesse’s ass because you live there.
Fred Visnaw Marc Forwwod. Jesse Bane Chuck Moore all have something in common.
I cannot believe that a well educated man like Jeff Gahler would decide to go this negative this early. I just wonder who talked him into this and why? Why not wait until after the Deputy Sheriff Union vote took place? This may have very well been Mr. Gahlers biggest mistake. Smh
Mr. Peck,
Please remind me why I should care what you think.
Sincerely,
Phil Dirt
Phil Dirt- please tell Jeff Gahler I said Hi.
Thanks
SAL
Sal, if I ever meet him, I’ll be sure to do that. He will have no idea who I am, and the same will probably be true for you.
This may be a dumb question but who is Marc Eaton and what the hell position does he hold in the police department?
Yankees Suck,
it is not a dumb question. He retired from the HCSO after years of service as a DFC. He hates Bane because of something Bane did to him that he will not divulge, and on one post, threatened any posters who knew not to tell. I believe his quote was that there would lawyers uptown who would take care of it. For two, going on three elections, he has been hammering away at Bane and all that support him. He lives outside the County, I am not sure where, and unfortunately, he isn’t sure either. Every story that he can deliver his hatred to Bane, he does so. He says he represents those in the department that can’t speak for themselves, but he really embarrases the entire HCSO with his posts. The Bane supporters want all voters to read his posts and decide for themselves how creditable he is.
I realize that no citizen is reading these silly posts anymore other than a few of us close to each candidate. That said this is a message for Bob who in no doubt is on here and is reading with delight some posts and hopefully with great shame on others. For you alone Bob, you are an idiot. This letter could have and should have been sent from Mr. Bane, should be big enough boy to fight his own battles, or Mr. Moore, the person we all know made the first move against “his former best man” and now wants to cry like a little girl. The fact that you put more effort writing this letter than you did in your entire campaign shows how much of an idiot you are and that you were no more than a plant by Bane. Be careful, many are comparing you to Tom Myers to try to see who the most inept and idiotic person is and you might just be in the lead.
I do not work for the HCSO but nevertheless interested in the outcome of the election. Working on several projects with Jesse, I once thought very highly of him. No more. He promoted and surrounded himself with folks on his command staff that did not reflect well on the department – one individual in particular that lacked the knowledge and experience to be working on this community project. He helped to do a lot of damage to the organization and yet this is who Jesse sent to represent the HCSO. This smuck was later promoted before retiring recently. I think we should clean house with everyone and go through a rehire process to make sure only the most qualified people with integrity are hired to serve and protect.
Ms. Gulch,
you are a fraud. You have already posted this misinformation once, and have produced the exact same post again. You GahlerLites will do anything to discredit Bane.
Gulch out with the details, name names or it never happened. Your fact less accusations smell of Gahler throwing pooh at the wall hoping something sticks.
Shame on you.
Soulcrusher, you’re preaching to the choir.
Signed up just to say hi after reading your posts.
Is there any way to contact someone on here?
The comment regarding Mr. Capasso holding on to sub-par supervision because of being friends couldn’t be further from the truth. Mr. Capasso does not handle himself that way. I’ve been told he had the proper people in place to actually finally make some positive changes at HCDC and became a threat to Bane so Bane pinched him out of the agency. Shame on Bane
“Ive been told”
Come on Jeff name names no more baseless allegations.
Regardless of whether Major Capasso had the right people in place, we all know that it was Sheriff Bane who promoted them to their positions. Major Capasso didn’t promote anyone at the HCDC. That is done at the Sheriff level.
ALSO – the so called “sub-par” person referred to was respected by the majority of the officers at HCDC because the person cared about them, that person later stepped down from their rank by choice due to being abused and lied to by Bane. Should have charged Bane with a hostile work environement. Bane really pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes and he is now exposed !
Great so you have examples of your allegations right? Please let us know what abuse and lies occurred? You do have examples right? You wouldn’t just post something that wasn’t true right? I look forward to hearing all about it. Thanks your friend TOTBS!!
“concerned wife” and others are now thinking or speculating that Gahler as an MSP captain: surely, must have, had to, probably,at some point, etc made a recommendation to reduce positions in MSP..blah blah blah. You guys are really reaching for something that NEVER HAPPENED. Gahler never mad any such recommendations and the so called committee never even existed. Bane lied again or is imagining things again. Either way Bane is unfit for duty as sheriff of Harford County. Gahler is the answer to returning strength to the agency and actually fighting crime rather than trying to reason with it.
Examples:intentionally misleading him, telling him one thing and doing another, forcing him to misrepresent issues, attempting to get him to violate labor laws, underminding his authority, setting him up for falls, talking unfavorably about him to others out of rank structure, telling him its ok to make a decision and then scolding him for making one, not supporting him in any shape or form, and not practicing a single thing he preached..Bane’s signatuire bahavior.
Tell me you’re not believing Bane’s rhetoric, tell me you are not doing that, tell me you see the light, tell me ..please that you’re not hanging your hat on a person who has lost all credibility through his own actions. or just tell me you’re going to do what is right and support Gahler.
sorry about the typos…
The Dagger has been Gahlers publication of choice in the past to attack Bane. So here we are with a very damning piece of evidence that proves with out a doubt Jeff Gahlers vindictive nature and he is absolutely no where to be found. Come on Jeff it’s become awkwardly clear you are not a person who is willing to address the issues head on which is why you lost the last election and why you will lose the upcoming election.
We all know you are here. Man up. Want to be Sheriff if Harford county? Doing nothing isn’t going to get you there.
What rock have you been living under? Typical liberal, act dumb and make dumb statements like this. The Slaegis will not print anything Gahler or any of us send in about Bane. Typical liberal media. At least the Dagger will. Please address the lie Bane told to the Correctional Officers Union? Did you see the debate? I think Gahler addressed the issues head on. Where is Bane’s proof of the 70 Troopers who were fired? He is silent on that one. How is Gahler vendictive? Should we start listing the vindictive nature of Bane and how many peoples lives he destroyed? Should we list the ones who should have been fired and were not for ethics violations?
Seriously Marc, you are an incompetent disgrace to all Law Enforcement in Maryland. Did you and Renita really think you we’re gonna get results from advertising your Porta-Potties in the Yellowbook. You have the business sense of a lemonade stand owner. Why would anyone listen to the failed owner of Bear’s Portable Toilets! If I were Gahler, I’d reach out to you and tell you, “please don’t support me, you are too much of an embarrassment and I don’t want your endorsement”. You have been clogging up the Dagger with your “crap” for far too long…..
Failed business? Sold for a profit and still going strong, don’t think that is failed. Nice try.
Then why are you selling your house in PA? Money is that good huh!
Okay Goober. I know you think you are onto something here but sadly you are not. That business was sold in 2010 and that house belongs to my ex. Sorry to disappoint you. You are not as sharp as you think you are. I live in Maryland now. Glad to see you found Maryland Judiciary Case Search. No wonder you got busted.
R U SURE MARC, DO YOU LIVE IN PA OR MD MARC? NOW DON”T LIE NOW, YOU WOULDN”T WANT TO BE LIKE ALL THE BANERS, WOULD YOU?
Why do u keep referring to urself as DFC? You’re not a Deputy anymore. You definitely don’t have what it takes to be First Class?
It should read Retired Rambutt Eaton.
Love it!
SoulCrusher,
I sent you a e mail, please check your
inbox. Thank you for the oppurtunity.
NotSoulCrusher
The Business Suceeded when you no longer owned it. What duz that say about ur business skills?
Why would a person buy a failing business? They were given my books from my accountant to prove it was making money. Now maybe a fool like you would just by it without doing any research but the people who bought it were a lot smarter then you are.
What on earth are you ranting on about Marc? The question is where is Jeff? Throw up all the smoke screen and finger pointing at Bane you want, but it’s obvious he is hiding from this.
No, he answered at the debate. He is not hiding from it he explained why he did what he did. Now will Bane tell us why he lied about Jeff firing seventy Troopers? Bane was on defense the entire debate.
This is the dagger and not the debate what ever that is. Maybe Gahler, like you is just chronically lost.
Did I miss something? Are these guys running for president? Very entertaining. Do you guys carry on like this every three and a half years? Does this constant fighting have an impact on your agency members? I tried to read all of these words but it is a bit much.
From the the Sheriff’s and the new Warden persons lack of response, should the rest of us surmise that most of this is just a bunch of bologna?
Come on Steve, I mean Mike Welsh, are you really still that much infatuated with her? Ask me, she was a decent Deputy, rode Howard’s coat tails and now is showing her mileage. However, she does put on a good front for the public. Dig deeper into her role in HDG, and not deeper into something else you may have wanted too.
And Steve, ooops Mike, did it again, didn’t the late Tom Broummel do that same thing? Leave BAPD to join Bob Coomes? Forget that?
Trying to compare Tom Broummel to Theresa Walter is laughable. Broummel was more than willing to play second fiddle. No reason for Chief Walter to even entertain the idea. She is already a success in her own right.
You would be much better off pursuing who would actually be involved in the senior leadership if Gahler is elected than continuing to suggest that the Walter’s would be involved.
So Steve you’re saying she wants to be Sheriff someday?
I agree with your comparison as at least Teresa worked the road some.
So find out his upper staff? Isn’t that what you want, hoping and aiming for?
My personal opinion is that Chief Walter’s next move will more likely involve teaching at the college level than any involvement in active law enforcement. Until then she seems to be perfectly happy as Chief of Police, Havre de Grace, MD., and completing her current term as President of the Maryland Chiefs Association.
Has anybody asked Jesse Bane why Visnaw was sleeping on the job and not fired. Why Forwood was stealing and not fired. Why Pressberry was promoted over more deserving officers. Why Moore was hired without any corrections experience? Disgraceful.
You can ask those questions, but never get an answer to them. You will just get the normal crap about the Walter’s running the show and Gahler fired 70 Troopers.
I find it funny that the Baner’s say no one reads the Dagger. Yet all the do is come on here and defend the actions of Bane. Bane himself during the Union debate mentioned the Dagger and it looked like his head was about to explode over it. Bane showed his frustration during the debate. He has yet to answer for the lie about the 70 Troopers. I can see why lying and bad behavior is acceptable to Bane, this is his standard and he finds it acceptable.
