What's that popping up through the carpet?
It's mold. And evidently lots of it. Trouble is, it's working it's way up through the floors and walls of the Police Academy.

From an e-mail:
- The mysterious white substance kept popping up on the carpeting in the upper floors and downstairs in various offices. The management was notified the first week of August. The inspectors came out the following week and inspected. Three weeks later we were given an oral report that the mold is not dangerous. No one has been able to produce a written report documenting these results.
The FOP was contacted, who in turn contacted the Dept of Labor who is yet to inspect the Academy. A safety grievance was filed. Did I mention that over 15 workers at the academy are currently ill with upper respiratory infections, fever, etc? Did I mention that Cuello and Shear came to inspect and said it's totally unacceptable?
Did I mention that they turned the heat on 80 to try and cover it all up? Some of the mold disappeared but that doesn't mean that it isn't still in the carpeting. It just isn't showing it's spores publicly. An officer went in his locker yesterday to get his hat. Filled with mold. As well as his blouse, refer, tie and every other item of clothing there. Over the holiday weekend an instructor forgot to rinse out his cup that had green tea residue and came back 3 days later to find a hairy mess in his cup?
There is a petri dish in the middle of the office that a co-worker purchased. It contains the fuzzy growth of a carpet sample that was taken. (It still has to be mailed in for analysis). Never mind we have a suburban class in there I wonder what the hell they are thinking of our dirty building?
Could you post this please before we all drop dead? Perhaps someone will give a shit when it is public knowledge. Over a month later and nothing has been done about this.
And in case you were wondering, here's a picture of the petri dish one enterprising officer purchased in an attempt to identify what was making everyone sick:
By the way, whoever told the officers that mold "isn't dangerous" is full of crap.
So we have bosses authorizing the homeless and all their various diseases in our workplaces, now the Department is training suburban recruits (and hopefully some CPD ones shortly) in an environment that is almost guaranteed to make them ill for the duration of their stay along with anyone using the gym and workout equipment.
