AZCPOA Witch Hunt Ends at AZCOPS Door.
More radical lies comming from Arizona Correctional Peace Officer Association. A witch hunt by any other name is still a "witch hunt."
Maria Vera-Martin, Executive President of Correctional Professional Officers Association/AZCOPS was tried and prosecuted by AZCPOA without a trial, without a hearing and without any evidence at all.
Here is the story and facts as we know them:
AZCPOA president Kevin McClellan promised prison time for uniformed correctional staff that AZCPOA accused of hacking their email. Now it turns out that Maria Vera-Martin, Executive President of Correctional Professional Officers Association/AZCOPS is being accused of orchestrating an attack against AZCPOA. Maria is making a name for herself attacking private prisons with lies and false information. Ryan directs private prisons in AZ, that's part of his job as director of ADOC. The private prisons in Arizona are full of former ADOC staff and supervisors. At one time the mayor and former police chief of Florence AZ was working for CCA Florence.
AZCPOA decided to split from AZCOPS. AZCPOA said at the time they were not being given access to money needed to help the officers. We estimate the money to be close to $700,000.00 paid in by AZCPOA members and now AZCPOA has no idea what happened to that money. Well somewhere along the line CPOA showed up another affiliate of AZCOPS run by Maria Vera-Martin. Maria has the same exact agenda as AZCPOA but she wants the money to go to her CPOA group. So anyway Maria got a hold of "AZSLOBS" AZCPOA mailing list and started a vicious email campaign against AZCPOA using their mailing list. There is no evidence of this other than hearsay by someone named "Obie Goins."
To make a long story full of "smoke and mirrors" short Maria Vera-Martin NEVER was questioned. Kevin McClellan seems to be judge, jury and executioner all by himself. When it turned out McClellan could not get a genuine uniformed correctional service officer imprisoned McClellan issued several more statements stating "We take care of our own......" His own being AZCOPS criminal enterprise.
So yada, yada, yada a few months later and about $10,000 shorter of funds for McClellan's private witch hunt the members of AZCPOA are no better off than they were and a nasty dark shadow has been forever cast on CPOA/AZCOPS, AZCOPS, AZCPOA and a dozen or so monkeys that work for these clowns.
Oh and by the way AZCPOA has hired one of the board members of AZCPOA wives to be their webmaster at a cost of god only knows what to AZSLOBS members. By the way when looking at their new deluxe BS website be sure to scroll left and right because the settings are done wrong.
McClellan is right about one thing AZCPOA does in fact "Take Care of Their Own." Just not the officers that are paying for all this hype and hustle by the radicals. 1,400 officers are flipping the bill for this little circus of events, I hope they got their moneys worth, LOL it was funny while it lasted.
Last but not least, there is absolutely positively not one shred of evidence that Maria Vera-Martin had anything to do with this circus act. It's all shit made up in McClellans little mind.
