Rumors Rumors Rumors

A bunch of stuff coming out of HQ Thursday:

• Off Topic -Peterson put in his papers. Last day Aug 15th
  
  
• Micheal Shields (the black one) is coming back from his extended leave of absence on 16 AUG 11 to take Peterson's spot!
  
  
• Ernie Brown gone tomorrow 5 Aug 2011
  
  
• Today's Comstat meeting was, in a word, BALLISTIC!
  Carothers AND Welch were royally reamed a new ass today by McNutty; the meeting was actually STOPPED as McNutty called the A/1 Deputy Chief and the 007th Dist. Commander to his office 'for a brief private discussion.' Oh, to be a fly on that wall!
  
  
• No more deputy supts or assistant supts.

We could certainly use a culling of the useless layers of mid-level exempts. We'd guess that something is definitely in the works as we haven't seen this many hints, clues, rumors and leaks in quite some time. We'll update if we hear of anything happening.

UPDATE: A lot of comments saying Gulliford moved from Area 4 to Area 1 and Welch was demoted.
