Why should we give an unqualified candidate a chance? I don’t want to gamble with my safety. Let’s take a little closer look at Chuck Wagner’s qualifications. He worked a total of 17 months with the RPSO. During that time he was assigned to the “special Services” division under Sheriff Grady Kelly. His direct supervisor was Hardin Lewis. His duties consisted of following Hardin around, cleaning BBQ pits and frying fish. During his time with RPSO he never made an arrest, never conducted a criminal investigation, never appeared in court for any type of criminal proceeding.
During his tenure with the state police, he was assigned to the Gaming Enforcement Division. His job was to visit various casinos across the state and check the packs of playing cards to make sure the seals were intact. Again, he never made an arrest, never was in charge of any type of investigation, never testified in court. As to his position as a drug salesman, he has never supervised any type of department, section, or even had his own secretary. He has never formulated a budget. His college degree is in criminal justice, a degree that someone obtains when they intend to go to law school and pursue a career in criminal defense work. In effect, Chuck has a undergraduate degree in helping criminals get out of jail.
Qualified??? Not even close.
