Clearly “RICK” is a friend of the Plew family.

Rick, I understand where you are coming from. However as a former employee myself, I feel somewhat validated in my negative feelings towards ACMPS as there is a tangled history that goes WAY back before the story/case at hand. Controversy and mismangement have plagued ACMPS for years. We still do not have the true facts on the current case, and can only wait as it goes through the process…I am curiously waiting to see what happens. The history helps to see from whence it came…

continued…. again… til Jan 4th I think it was… at 9am

This story is about an individual stealing from his employer is it not? I for the life of me can’t figure out what relevance a PO going to the mall, whether there is a felon working in the office or if a person was fired to make room for another individual have to this case? Sounds like more disgruntled client’s and an ex employee who was probably fired herself wanting to stir up things.

From the unique position of seeing this case from both sides, i was at one point a Sergeant in the military, and now am on Felony probation, i can tell you that there is a large amount of Narcissism and just complete egomania flooding the probation system, (there are a few who actually are good people) mostly the only thing that moves these people is money, and the pursuit of money, I’ve done two tours in Iraq, served all over the world, and never in my life have i been confronted with a greater evil than that of the Idaho judicial system. The lack of fidelity and compassion in these organizations leads me to believe that there is no such thing as justice, and in Idaho there is no such thing as a “good cop

Yes I can verify the fact that there is a felon working there. She seems pretty harmless but the contract is the contract and should be adheared to regardless of who it is.
The years that I worked for this office there was also a PO that on NUMEROUS occasions was spotted at the mall while she claimed to be in court. These were all brought to Nancy’s attention by various employee’s and nothing was done. Is that not also theft? Shouldn’t a person NOT be paid while they are on personal errands again and again and again?
It seems as though the contract and the rules do not apply to everyone, which was one of my biggest gripes when I worked there.

Thanks to you Guardian for the outlet and Merry X-mas. Keep up the good work. in getting the stories that need to get out there in order for change to happen.

EDITOR NOTE–Private employee issues are private. County contract issues need scrutiny.

I know for a fact that (IDENTITY DELETED) works for the probation office and is a convicted felon. She cleans the office. Meaning, she has unsupervised access to each and every PO’s office, and thousands of files pertaining to clients. These files have SSNs, home addresses, aliases, cell numbers, family’s cell numbers, and other personal information. The only room she has no access to is the room where the money is placed. So she isn’t trusted enough to be around money but there’s no issue with her having free reign to personal info on clients?? And the commissioners were told all of this. Nancys contract states sheis prohibited from hiring anybody w felony convictions. She has chosen not to follow this stipulation and Rick and Vern have decided to sweep yet another issue under the rug. One has to ask themselves how many other contract violations have these two commissioners decided to overlook? Shameful.

I personally want to thank Dave and the Guardian for bringing to light the corruption that many have ignored for years. It is nice to finally have a voice and you have given hundreds of people the opportunity to spread the word and although two of the commissioners have chosen to completely ignore it, I do believe it’s partly because of your help that next year Nancy will no longer be running probation. As a former employee I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You gave employees, clients, and concerned citizens a venue to voice their frustrations and take a stand. Bravo!

The only connection I have with the civil action is knowing Mr. Gordon and directing people to him.

The court file should be public record, and viewable at the clerk’s office, possibly by appointment.

I believe Dave Leory represents ACMPS (heard that somewhere), and spreading liability around would benefit his client. Nothing wrong with that.

Publica I have a question for you. I checked the Idaho repository today to see what was going on with Nancy’s lawsuit and it says that she put in a motion to dismiss for “failure to join indispensable parties”, what does this mean exactly? I take it that it means she’s trying to get other people named as defendant’s in this lawsuit also? I certainly hope she is not trying to get the County sued as well after they have awarded her her lucrative contract year after year after year. Kind of a slap in the face to us taxpayers if that’s what this is. The taxpayers will end up having to pay the price.
Also do you happen to have some “insider information” on how many people have joined the lawsuit (just curious).

EDITOR NOTE–Afraid we don’t know what you are talking about and no word on plaintiffs.
