Another DPD Executive slept with his Lts. So What?
Who is Melvin Turner and why is he wearing a Detroit Police Badge?
Do you think Police Officers must have the trust and respect of the community to effective protect the community? Does it matter who they sleep with off the job?
Just like Warren Evans, while Melvin Tuner was the 2nd in command at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, he notoriously dated a female Lieutenant [[Pam McClain) who he directly supervised, and promoted another of his girlfriends to the rank of Commander Rose Fodera.
Melvin Turner was fired from 4 different police departments.
He was fired from his $185,000 per year job as Undersheriff of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department after he beat up his baby momma, but not right away, because who cares if cops beat up their baby mommas. He was fired only after being convicted of domestic violence and had his police powers taken away.
Next he took a job as police chief in Highland Park, Melvin came in and broke the backs of the Police Union and helped the city to go bankrupt. The police department was dissolved.
Next he convinced the Emergency Financial Manager in Hamtramck, however the Hamtramck Cops disliked Melvin Turner and filed complaints and whistleblower lawsuits against him. The Emergency Financial Manager investigated the complaints and decided to fire Melvin Turner.
Then he arrived in Sumpter Township as Chief of Police. He pissed off everyone there from the city dog catcher to the Township Supervisor. Seem Melvin thought the Township should provide him with his personal police car to take home. He was fired at one year.
Then Melvin applied for every open police chief job in the State of Michigan and the State of Texas. When Clinton Township told him to hit the brick and that he was a four time looser, the filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against them claiming they would not make him Chief of Police because he was a dark black guy.
Melvin Turner lead the State Police on a high speed chase down the lodge freeway.
Melvin Turner was told that he was barred from testifying against drug dealers because many of the Circuit Court judges found him to be habitually untruthful witness. [[a liar)
Melvin Tuner has several complaints filed against him by drug dealers stating that he had unlawfully taken their gold jewelry for his own personal use. Melvin Turner had a retail store were he sold second hard goods and allegedly a lot a stolen merchandise.
Melvin Turner threatened to shoot and kill Wayne County’s Personnel Director when she told him politely it was not appropriate for him to attempt to kiss her and other females on the cheek at the start of a meeting. She advised Melvin that a hand shake was proper for the workplace.
Melvin Turner was sued for sexual harassment by one of his female subordinates.
Warren Evans hired Melvin Turner to be Deputy Chief of Police in Detroit.
Mayor Bing and his new broom is sweeping clean. Perhaps its time to sweep Mel Turner right out the door.
Do you think Mr. Turner should continue to earn $157,000 as a Deputy Chief of Police and wear a DPD uniform? Or at 68 years of age is it time for this playboy to retire?
