Alameda County Chief Probation Officer LaDonna
Harris will remain until a replacement is hired.
|
ALCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS |
Alameda County’s Chief Probation Officer LaDonna Harris is being replaced by county supervisors.
No official announcement has been made regarding Harris’s departure, but in a memo to her department, she referenced the search for her replacement has already begun.
“As many of you are aware, the county has been preparing to launch a recruitment for the next chief probation officer,” Harris wrote last month. “The board is close to making their announcement, and as I promised, I am making you aware that this is forthcoming.”
However, nearly a month has passed since the memo without any mention by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors that Harris’s job was in jeopardy or that even a change was imminent.
Dave Brown, chief of staff for Alameda County Supervisor Wilma Chan, said the board is currently seeking to hire a recruiting firm, but Harris will remain chief probation officer until her replacement is hired, said Brown.
Sources tell the East Bay Citizen that Harris isn’t being fired, but only that her contract is not being renewed by the county. Pressure, though, has been building against Harris since, at least, last fall stemming from allegations of cronyism in a number of personnel moves she was advocating at the Probation Department, said sources.
The Alameda County Probation Department includes more than 600 employees and oversees 11,000 adult probationers, in addition, to administering various services and programs.
Harris has led the department since 2012 following the abrupt resignation of former chief David Muhammad, who was involved in an alleged sexual harassment suit brought forth by an underling in the probation department. Harris previously served 29 years in the Alameda County Sheriffs Office.

Also what is the relationship between a former sheriff commander and a street hustling Dope Dealer with a 7th grade education ??? who get a job in probation with zero college units ??? We know what relationship they really have and its not Platonic.

Dear Board Members:

In September 2013 and 2014, 2015 Alameda County Probation Department took twelve (12) Camp Sweeney youth on a week-long excursion to Memphis, TN and Los Angeles, CA to visit key multi-cultural landmarks significant to American history and culture. Youth were accompanied by chaperones and mentors consisting of Probation staff and community providers. It is the goal of the Department to provide the Tolerance Tour to select youth annually in an effort to increase cultural awareness and encourage youth and young adults to find alternatives to violence and crime. The annual cost of this program is $55,000 that covers participant travel and food costs as well as the cost for the videographer and community providers to attend and facilitate sessions.
Derick Bedford Compliance Director, Alameda County Probation,La Donna Harris, Chief Probation Office Alameda County Probation Assistant Chief Probation Officer Esa,are taking an Annual Vacation at Taxpayers expense. Why is the Chief,the Assistant Chief, and the Compliance Director. going on the same trip every year to the exact same places at Minimum of $55,000 per year? who is running the Probation Dept, when they are Gone?

I know this has gotten personal and has spun out of control, but those on the outside must realize that this been brewing for years. Years of complaints going ignored, people telling you to “just quit,” but after having so many years invested, and a chance at a pretty good retirement its not that easy. Especially those with families. Watching people go on paid administrative leave for YEARS while the county pays other staff overtime is ridiculous. Some of the cases cant be helped, but most are minor to say the least. Staff out for a year PAID over a couple of missed room checks? $60,000 just to stay home all day and do nothing. They would get more out of the staff by just not letting the work overtime. Chief Harris tenure here has ruined families, stressed one staff member to death, and forced early retirements of a lot of great staff. She does these things without a conscience. How can you preach about caring for people and the public's trust yet you beat down your own staff without mercy? Granted alameda county juvenile hall may not be the LA Rampart scandal, but the place needs to be cleaned up. As a co-worker J. Irving used to ask the kids “how do you kill a snake?”. Cut off the head. The snake has been slithering unchecked for years now, and its head needs to be cut. Just one insider's opinion.

Mr. Bedford you and Chief Harris Raided the James King Fund ,and the Peso Fund, Taking vacations to see relatives in Los Angeles CA and Memphis TN under the guise of a Tolerance Tour. Mr. Bedford there is The Contemporary Jewish Museum, thecjm.org, that was founded in 1984, in San Francisco,CA . The address is 736 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103. Its current mission is to make the diversity of the Jewish experience relevant for a twenty-first century audience through exhibitions and educational programs.
Mr. Bedford there was no reason for you and Chief Harris to go to Los Angeles to learn about the Jewish experience. But, Mr. Bedford you did have a reason if your intent was to see relatives, and have a great time at Universal Studios Hollywood, on Alameda County’s Taxpayers Dime.
The same guise was used by you Bedford, and Chief Harris for the trip to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis TN,at the Lorraine Hotel, where you and Chief Harris and a number of in custody minors flew in at Alameda County expense, ate at 5 star restaurants, went site seeing , and at some time during the trip You Bedford and Chief Harris sneak away from the group to see relatives on the county dime. This Guise has been used for three Tolerance Tours, to the amount of 215,000 dollars.

If Alameda County Probation Dept. is receiving Federal money, get the Fed involved. Theft is theft…Misappropriation of funds is THEFT!!! Bedford nor Chief Harris is beyond REPROACH…. My understanding is that Herb Robinson stoe money from the James King Fund, Bill Fenton, Dennis Handis, Ron Johnson, and the “Good Ole Boy Crew”.. knew about it and so did Chief Blevins, but he was not fired, yet “allowed” to pay the money back ( gambling problems)….SAME OLE SONG…..Chief Harris is not above “Reproach” and neither is Derrick Bedford. you all do the right thing…Bring in the FED's, alert every board of supervisor, which creates liability and includes them to take action and not put their heads in the sand, as what has become a common practice…Contact the Governor, as well as California Youth Authority “Compliance”, because they overseas probation departments in California> Contact the press Tribune and all surrounding newspaper entities…especially abliut moneys coming or be taken out of Funds like the James King Fund…Contact James King…..and as far as the staff getting pregnant by the kid in custody while he was housed at Juvenile Hall is of “IMMENIENT” and immediate concern because if this actually occurred, which I know and everyione else knows who the female supervisor is and the minor Harold Carter is who was housed in Unit #4, puts all of the children in jeopardy and being taken advantage of, and child abuse (molestation) because the adults there are hired to care and take care of the children, not made “sex-slaves'. This is totally disgusting and “scary”. Staff should have done more, and especially the supervisors and administration past and present, and are obligated to “protect” those children and minors who are in custody….this is so sick. do the right thing….make the contact….

Mr. Bedford it is amazing to see how this thread has evolved. A person who's highest level of higher education is 7TH grade, who was an admitted Drug Dealer. A person who has attempted to MURDER someone, a person that has two DUI's one felony, a person who has been in out of jail several times, and now you pass judgment on people who have never been to been to jail ,never sold drugs, never shot a gun at anyone.
You and Your Mother/ Foster Moher, Chief La Donna Harris meet and conspire to destroy people by showing people ZERO COMPASSION even though (YOU WERE SHOWED COMPASSION TO GET THE JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE), for minor infractions, and other infractions that could have be handled by progressive discipline. The favorite tactic is ridiculously long Administrative leave times of 1 to 4 years at tax payer expense to the amount of somewhere near 4,000,000, Million dollars of tax payers money. Then the people on administrative leave are fired, mostly Black Males.
Bedford you are on mission in your convoluted mind, to save the innocent children from the evil staff of Juvenile Hall. When the reality is, the most evil staff is you, and Chief Harris. Minors are in jail at the Juvenile Justice Center because they have committed serious crimes Rape Murder assault theft, strong arm robbery home invasion, etc.
Bedford, you have used your position has the Compliance Director to carry out revenge for perceived wrongs done to you when you were a minor locked up in Juvenile . Bedford you have used your connections to Chief Harris to uplift your wife, and all the people you supervised in the WETA Program to supervisor positions, using the big three, nepotism, favoritism, cronyism.

The craziest part about the whole thing is that very little of this is exaggerated. Its a shame some people were called out who didn't deserve this (Mrs. Pitts-Johnson) but shows some definite house cleaning is needed in the Probation Department. As screwed up as the place was before Chief Harris showed up, the staff still could count on each when it came down to it and they still were mostly about the kids. Now every shift is a game of cover your ass and promoting staff to tell on each other in order to keep heat off of them. Staff(like the detainees) should be able to grow and learn from simple mistakes, not be walked out in front of their co workers like common criminals. Few people want to work overtime now because they are putting themselves in even greater position to be scrutinized. This seem to be the kind of atmosphere that she promotes wherever she goes. If you go against what she says, its going to be bad for you.

Emotional intelligence (EI) or emotional quotient (EQ) is the ability of individuals to recognize their own and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different feelings and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior.[1] The term gained prominence in the 1995 book by that title, written by the author, psychologist, and science journalist Daniel Goleman. There are several models of EI. Goleman's own model may now be considered a mixed model that combines what have subsequently been modelled separately as ability EI and trait EI. Goleman defined EI as the array of skills and characteristics that drive leadership performance.[2] The trait model was developed by Konstantin Vasily Petrides in 2001. It “encompasses behavioral dispositions and self perceived abilities and is measured through self report”.[3] The ability model, developed by Peter Salovey and John Mayer in 2004, focuses on the individual's ability to process emotional information and use it to navigate the social environment. Respectfully Mr. BEDFORD where is your name included for doing the research on this subject?

You were a drug dealer and you have been locked up for attempted murder and have 2 DUI’s 1 felony. You have 0 college units but yet you still are the Compliance Director for the Alameda County Probation Department. If you have college units please correct me Mr. Bedford. Is Chief La Donna Harris of the Alameda County Probation Department Your FOSTER MOTHER ? Four none’s , yet you are still the Compliance Director for the Alameda County Probation Department. It must be your Foster Mother your mentor helping you. Doesn’t it look like nepotism to you Mr. Bedford ?

They run the department like a organized crime Family. LaDonna is the Boss of all bosses Derrick Bedford reference to himself as her under boss,then you have the lieutenant's. You get to be a lieutenant if you are willing to do the dirty work for the boss or the under boss, you have to prove to be loyal only to them and shady to line staff.

Also when it comes to minimum requirements to work for Alameda County Probation in those positions it states clearly that ANY FELONY CONVICTION IS DISQUALIFYING. Look at the human resource website for the county. Would you want to hire cops who had felonies in their backgrounds? Judges?

Great news! What an absolute disaster she has been.

Attempting to promote people completely unqualified for sworn peace officer management positions because of their loyalty to her totally ignoring many qualified and experienced Deputy Probation Officers. Spending thousands if not hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars by taking 11 or so juveniles annually, along 11+ staff and management personal, on weeks long trips across the country that have no redeeming value to the citizens of Alameda County. Allowing at least one known abuser of peace officer powers seeking the services of prostitutes, more than once, to soothe his libido to be promoted. And making unwanted sexual advances toward female coworkers that I made her aware of. I am told in her management meetings she scolded her managers if they failed to stick together even if they were wrong. Knowing that there was active racial discrimination and unrest within the department but did nothing, I know because I reported this to her personally. There is lots more about this woman's management that hurt and chilled the department. I know this because I was once the head shop steward with our union and had a VERY strong hand in the operations of the department, to some degree running certain departmental policy and operations. Because of my union work and my attempt develop policies that benefitted the entire department and the community, managers and line staff would frequently contacted me with information of issues and plans that mangement had in mind. I still had a few of those contacts when I retired.

As a leader she was suppose to catapult this department to the top, to stay one of the best, but instead we have been pushed back and are considered the bottom feeders. The retards she has put in leadership positions are a big JOKE!!! and a slap in the face to the future of our department. The damage she has done will last for many years after she's gone. The department's morale has been at its all time low with this so-called chief. I wonder how she sleeps at night!!!..I mean really she has done NOTHING but divide us and turn us all against each other….SHAME on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors for hiring her thinking she could do the job. The BOS have truly failed our profession in the worst way possible.

Mason Cooper, AA(2), BA, BS, MSA. I am sure you have worked very hard to achieve your education goals. What you stated had a very Kumbaya feel to it, but it was also very degrading. Why should a person with street Cred that lacks the very basic educational requirements to get hired, 45 college units, get a Pass. If he has more than 0 units please correct me. Mr. Bedford stated he was willing to put up his body of work against all comers. When Bedford was questioned in regards to his education, he deleted his statements from the website and ran for the hills. No one that applies for the job today would get in the way Bedford got in, so he shouldn't have got in in the first place. A misguided Judge or perhaps his misguided Foster Mother La Donna Harris, had strings pulled for him; in either case he still does not have the BASIC REQUIREMENTS for the job. You advocate for Mr. Bedford, knowing he is not qualified for the job. You say, “STOP HATING”, but you don't know what you are taking about, you don’t work for the probation department, and if you do work for the Probation Department,open your dam eyes. The Probation Depart is now nothing more than a Chicken shack, with rampant Nepotism, Cronyism, and favoritism, ran By Momma La Donna Harris and her Foster Son Derrick Bedford and his band of Merry IS1 supervisors, With his GED from Camp Sweeney hanging on the wall. Does Google, IBM, Microsoft, Clorox, hire based on emotional intelligence, or do they hire the best and the brightest from college. Perhaps you should hire Mr. Bedford He has a degree in street cred from East Fourteenth Street University, with majors in drug dealing and attempted murder and a minor in shooting at people plus 2 DUI”S. IS that what our troubled youth really need, is more street cred? Does Microsoft need more street cred? Ask yourself a question Mason Cooper, why are so Many People writing on this website, and none of it is good, it’s called telling the truth not hating. Abusive People like Chief La Donna Harris aka Momma does a lot of dirt behind closed doors out of the eye of the public. Now she being exposed to the public, 50 plus comments and climbing, the avg is two comments per article.

Not to mention that half the kids that she picked for this tour are either in Prison now or dead? Check into that! If this was supposed to be a learning experience for the youngsters why did SHE have to go EVERY year. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.

Many have discussed credentials, education, volumes of work within the community. Mason Cooper, when Mr. Bedford began working with the staff, he was embraced and well respected. The young man brought a new perspective and positive energy to the department. Somewhere along the way, he became entrenched with a passion to prove to those who did not matter that he would show them, and they would bow down. Many purchased his t-shirts, sweatshirts, and now a bullshit ass, poorly written piece of false propaganda book that he does not believe in himself. He used European tactics to gain entry by stepping on others. Sad, very sad to watch this young man change for the worse. Cronyism has been exposed in the hiring practices within the Probation Department; many employees have been skipped over for those who are less qualified. It's very unfortunate, that someone with five years of experience are more qualified to obtain a promotion opposed to one who has 10-15 years of service that exceeds the standard of performance. Hate is a strong word. Envy is even stronger. No one hates Mr. Bedford, many are despised as to the inner-workings within the department that he has aligned himself to the negativity that he perpetuates. He should have a forum against those, but then again, only a person on conscious mind would never have called out meaningless individuals to discuss his body of work which appears very shallow and minimal on a small scale. What can he compare his body of work too? A guest appearance on the Today Show, or how about when a copy of the book was slipped to the POTUS, which was never mentioned in mainstream media. How about a guest appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Damn, I'm still trying to figure out his volume on MENIAL work. I guess you can compare his work to a blue whale chewing on a tic-tac, no relevance at all. Many are angered by the events that have taken place within probation. Now they want to vent behind a computer screen instead of confronting the man they call DB, who is above the Oakland Patriot plan. But again, no one is hating on that man, he has destroyed the spirit around probation and nor is he strong enough to deal with the personal attacks. The metaphor of throwing a rock at a pack of dogs and one will holla holds true. Its a sign of weakness because a pack of dogs are strong in strength, and would never flinch over negative adversity.

I have to agree with most of the comments. Ms. Harris has been Horrible since she took office! She's been a dictator and has wielded her sword again and again cutting DEEP into the hearts of many of the hard working, dedicated employees of Alameda County. Please, please investigate her doings extensively!! Many great employees have been passed over for positions that they applied for because they weren't part of “The good ole boys club” and weren't willing to be subservient to her! People who have been with the department for over 15 and 20years were passed over and jobs were given to people who have been with the department for 2 and three years. People who have been caught sleeping on the job were promoted to supervisory positions. Firing people for trivial matters…no written warning or suspension…just termination! Just horrible. We don't like her. We don't trust her and we hope that you put ANYONE in her place. Anyone would do a better job. She has no ethics and no Heart!!!

Does several years of continuous service or volunteer work in the field count for anything? I mean, I have my credentials, but I would also think one could come by theirs from experience or is that not true? Doesn't probation offer many training opportunities, including conferences and other institutional educational opportunities one could take advantage of and become learned and skilled? Obviously he was able to learn something valuable, he was able to produce a book that deals with a subject matter used within the confines of the hall. Lastly, even when people are well qualified academically and otherwise, in most cases across the board, the promotions go to people who are well qualified and well liked. Ironically, favor often gives us a little boost. That's life. In the larger context, White Privilege operates in a social class context whereby racial preference is used to grant people access. In this situation, I think street credibility is working for the benefit of experience. It means he was once where those kids are and can connect on a very deep level, which means he can reach them. Street kids don't want to be bothered with suits all the time. It infuriates most of them. There is enough room there for both types of people, the straight laced, law and order, never been in any trouble type of people, and people who have had some troubles and learned from them. The kids needs the best of both worlds. Use your energy to help those kids and stop bickering about something that lacks importance. SAVE OUR YOUTH!

**PSA STOP THE JEALOUSY, ENVY AND TALK…***
You never know who knows who and whom will be where at what time. Today I overheard someone talking about someone I know pretty well. I know of many of their struggles and challenges and I also know that lately they have been blessed.
People, just because someone doesn't have a liberal arts education, doesn't mean they ARE NOT qualified for a higher position on their job, especially if they have been on their job nearing 20 years. The individual that was spoken about turned their life around and apparently since they are now publicly visible and shining on the job and off, people are having a problem.
When someone has lived through something and learned from their experiences, they are uniquely better qualified and definitely equally qualified as people with academic credentials. Moreover, all of the ivy league schools are offering lots of free coursework. The only thing you do not get is a transcript to say you attended and graduated. So, there are plenty of ways to come by the information one needs to do a great job in many of the administrative positions that are out here.
So what someone is a felon, if they are not committing felonious acts today, what they did yesterday doesn't matter. If they didn't embezzle, touch a child, rape a woman, or brutally beat anyone, we are talking non violent crime. Crime that in many other countries has been decriminalized. STOP HATING. If most of the people who are talking were put up to the light to check for transparency and really given a thorough background check, they would be out of the door simply based on the people they associate with and likely some of their Facebook posts would end them.
Don't be mad because the good lord blessed someone and opened a door that may have been otherwise closed to them. Be happy that they can be a beacon of light and hope for others who are trying to transcend horrible circumstances. Be happy they can take care of their family without doing crime, be happy for their good fortune. If you have a degree, your turn will come. Just keep working hard. Don't be mad at the next person for receiving a blessing.
Lastly, so what someone in power looked out for them and was close to them. THAT'S CALLED A BLESSING. Do they do their job, YES, are they good at their job, YES, are they in a new position and should they be given time to adjust for the learning curve to correct weaknesses, ABSOLUTELY.
Whomever you are, you are “worried” about the wrong thing and obviously, he's never does.
PS. I'm Mason Cooper. AA(2), BA, BS, MSA. I come from the neighborhood and understand these youth. They need someone like DB. Books and classes do not give you EVERYTHING you need to deal with the issues these young men come with. There has to be a balance. I am also glad he has some protection and insulation against all of the hate that is being spewed on this post. Calm it down. I had to hear about this in the streets today while I was getting my daughter's hair done. #Chill

By MW:
If the members of the AC Board of Supervisors really believe that LaDonna Harris did not do a good job, then I am surprised that she is being basically fired, and altho it might be referred to as just a decision to not renew her contract.
More specifically, the way it normally works in AC government is that if a high ranking person does a bad job, the person is almost always given a promotion and a pay raise. Somewhat related to that, the way one person, and who has been following AC government for much longer and much more closely than myself, put it is that the highest ranking people in AC government are very mediocre and low in intelligence (and I think he was being very diplomatic in that comment), and therefore are scared of having anyone in their insiders club who is intelligent and of high caliber, so therefore generally the people they appoint to high ranking positions are people similar to themselves, in other words people who are mediocre and of low intelligence. (In a way related to that fact that first rate people hire first rate people and second rate people hire third rate people.)
However sometimes there is so much media publicity concerning one of the turkeys and jokers that has a high ranking and highly paid position in AC government, that therefore the Board of Supervisors is forced to “fire” the character. However what usually happens in that case is that a few months later, and after the media is no longer closely looking, the person who is an incompetent and/or crook is quietly given another high ranking job in AC government that pays just as much or more.
In other words, the big boys and the insiders run AC government just like a big organized crime ring, and with its main reason for existence being to rip off the ordinary citizens.
