Maricopa County Superior Court to review Sheriff Joe’s takeover of computer system

Quote from: Mike Sunnucks

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office sent more than a dozen officers to county computer rooms in its Wednesday raids and takeover of a computer system that interlinks police and court agencies.

The MCSO sent deputies and others to county offices and told computer technicians who operate the Integrated Criminal Justice Information System that the Sheriff’s Office was taking over the system.

The $25 million computer system allows law enforcement, prosecutors, probation officers, public defenders and the courts to communicate with one another electronically. County officials familiar with the MCSO takeover of the system said the sheriff’s officers showed up Wednesday told computer technicians to step aside, posted officers at entrances and exits, and took over “management control” of the system.

OK, now we are seeing some action here.

Where and what caused Good old Joe to go these extremes and will his actions catch on nationally ??

The MCSO contends it was worried about the integrity of the computer system, which has seen budget cuts in recent years. Sheriff Joe Arpaio has sought to take control of the system and has been battling the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in court over who controls it.

Hmmm...methinks Sheriff Joe doesn't want private information needlessly divulged.

I expect it has a lot more to do with sensitive law enforcement information being compromised, or someone from outside his department digging something out of the MCSD files for a political fight against him.

Hi,

Whatever the issue I am with Joe.  Wish we had a thousand more like him.

I am sure you all saw the photos of the Cook County Jail that made their way around the internet.  No wonder they have the highest sales tax in the country and are broke.  They ought to try to hire Sheriff Joe and he would do them a world of good.

First thing he would probably do is fire about 500 phantom employees, relatives of democrats who are on the payroll but never show up for work.

regards,
5412
