Dann hires incompetent boob at Bureau of Criminal Investigation

I am all for giving a persona a second chance, but this makes absolutely no sense and compromises the safety of all Ohio residents.

If someone is uncapable of handling a small town police department, how can they be expected to be successful in running the top forensic agency of the state?

This guy sounds as if he would have a hard time keeping track of his lunch box....

From Ohio News Now --

Steve Lamantia, former police chief of Howland Township who now serves as interim superintendent of the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification, faced criticism in a 2002 Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police report, according to the Dayton Daily News.

Dann's office became aware of the report about a month ago but never obtained nor read a copy, chief of staff Ed Simpson said.

The 120-page report to township officials concluded that the Howland Township police department's property room had "major flaws" under Lamantia's leadership. Among the issues cited were: unsecured evidence lying on desks and file cabinets; blood and bodily fluid samples kept in an unsecured refrigerator; property stacked haphazardly; and, the room's easy accessibility to maintenance workers and through a false ceiling.

Never read the report? Well that's comforting!

This is about as good as Rev. Ted's appointment of, Henry Guzman, as the states public safety director.

Guzman, former head of the Office of Equal Opportunity for the City of Cleveland, was in charge of overseeing the corrupt minority contracts on the runway project at Hopkins Airport.
