I applaud the sheriff’s office for initiating the survey. They should hire an outside party to collect, compile, and analyse the data. The completed surveys should never be within reach of the sheriff’s staff.

Office staff will undoubtedly collect, compile, and review all data submitted by the public with the utmost care. However, results will always be questioned because of possible bias on the part of the staff.

if the number of officers leaving keeps up there won't be anyone left to survey....

That is what happens when a department loses a corrupt leader. Those in the department that are also corrupt lose their cover so they leave. There are plenty in the SMCSD. The department has had one corrupt leader after another, until now.

Well I guess the oversight committee can start with this.

What's to investigate? The updated article you linked to has Aenlle's qualifications for the job. The rest of the command staff the Sheriff is building seems to come from outside SMCSD, which is a good thing. They all seem to have significant experience.
