Rich Gamble has left a new comment on your post "Is This True??????????????? Sexual Harassment And ...":
I was told that Godley posted on this site and attributed his dismissal from NSB Security and subsequent TSA to my (Rich Gamble) being disgruntled over the election results.
This matter was long investigated and adminstrated before I retired and ran for sheriff. Godley should thank me for being fair and weighing the merits of each case. That prevented him from being indicted and only having to withstand adminstrative actions.
I was not the investigating agent, but rather the supervising agent that made that call. In our (NCIS) case Godley was charged with viewing child pornography on his work computer while he was the LT supervisor. Using his swipe card that granted him access into the space, it was easy to gather evidence and show it was Godley who had visited the sites on that occasion and a few others. However, his short duration on the child sites questioned his specific intent and I elected not to present it to the US Attorney. I told Godley this but I added we would seek job termnination and a copy of our report would be forwarded to POST, as appropriate. Godley was also required to report the matter to POST.
When Godley was being considered for the job at Security, I spoke highly about him and kept him in high esteem. The pornography incident tarnished that somewhat, but I attributed it to bad judgement, boredom, etc. It was what our investigation uncovered when I felt our profession would be better served without persons void of core values like that consistently displayed by Godley. Godley resigned after being investigated for stalking in Arizona. They provided the resignation, he provided the stalking during interview. Godley then became involved in another sexual matter at one of the depts north of Glynn. He reportedly "made out" in the lobby of one of the hotels in the presence of guest while in uniform and used his official position to threaten a rival suitor. He resigned under pressure.
It was the pattern that prompted me to report the matter to POST. He was terminated because the NSB CO did not want to employ someone looking at pornography on their computer when they should be guarding the base. The CO also did not understand why we would not pursue the child porn through the US Attorney.
Our (NCIS) computer forsenic expert advised me that Godley's short duration on the child sites would be a defense even though intent is not a required element. He explained it such that we could lose the case. At that time, we had a lot of cases and since there was administrative remedies, I decided to forego the referral.
Yes, I ran for sheriff and yes I lost by a wide margin. But my credentials and character are still impeccable. Also, words I spoke 4 years ago are currently being heard throughout the county.
I am not disgruntled. While I lost the race for sheriff, who was the real loser?

TRSP Review: Yes, Who is the real loser?
"The people of this County do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created." ***The views expressed on this blog are the opinions of the individual that wrote them.

You are an etxtraordinary individual who should really consider running for Sheriff again!! The people did not hear what you were saying.
But now you have their full attention. Camden County would have been much better represented if the people looked at the character and integrity of the candidate, instead of focusing on the candidate being white an part of the good-ole-boy system.
Because of this racial disparity Camden County is enduring the most negative publicity that could be bestored upon a community. It is time for a change in the leadership of this County. Outsiders need to step up and seek office.
I hope the people of Camden County realize that!! Anybody who has a (I) behind their name needs to be voted out of office. Camden County needs a fresh start. This county will never experience its full potential if the people continue to recycle the same people. This goes for the city, county and school board.
The entire county is now being run on complete ignorance. I was talking to someone just yesterday at the library. The woman was almost in tears about whats going on with the administration in the City of Kingsland. She has held her job for several years. A woman was transferred from another dept., the womans sister was given her previous job and she told the current employee "you are going to have to teach me how to type before you leave so that I can learn your job." Does that sound like the leadership should be considered for re-election.
Neopotism - its a way of life in Camden County. Has nothing to do with the ability to perform the job. Just family lineage. The only way to eliminate stuff like this is to start over fresh. In the next elections if a person has a (I) behind their name vote against them.
Bravo, Rich Gamble. I knew voted for the right man!
Anonymous # 1 (here),
I agree with much of what you said. I'm not so sure thoough, about the business about "(I)" behind their names (BTW is a RINO, for instance), unless, perhaps you meant "I" for "indigenous!. Just kidding - for the most part.

I agree that you should run for sherriff again. I was just praying that you would win the election last time. I believe you're a very caring person that really wants to do great things for your community. Please don't give up. Camden County needs you. And, it doesn't matter what color you are . Severe needs knows no color!! That county severely needs someone like you. I was so hoping that you would run again this election. But, maybe the people's eye's have been opened enough about Bill Smith this time that they'll get rid of him for good!!! God bless you for caring.
Jay,
I meant (I) as in Incumbent. We need a fresh slate. No more good-ole-boys, no more nepotism and no more candidates without integrity/character that don't believe in public policy..
To the Real School Police,
Is it possible to get an election for the Superintendent instead of him being voted in by the school board? He is the one who has made up alot of the crazy rules being implemented by the follow along board. What is the point of attending a school board meeting if you can't say anything?
But I guess thats what happens when you go from Director over bus services to Superintendent. He is setting up an entire crop of people with his exact non-thought.
Duh! I was afraid you would beat me back here. That just dawned on me a few minutes ago when I woke up from my nap (constantly battling the forces of evil can tire an old rolling troll out);=)
Please Rich Gamble....
Run Rich, Run...
I voted for you the first time, but it takes some longer than others to catch on. You know that!! You're a school teacher. In Camden we have all kinds. Don't punish everyone because the majority of the class failed the test.
I studied, thats why I passed the first time.
Amen to that, Mr. Gamble!
Scavenger hunt:
If you folks will read through all of the audit trail Rick has posted, you will eventually find the check for $500.00 to Oficer Godley, with the notation,"Reward."
For good behavior, no doubt!

I don't know to be honest with you. Although he has put some policies in place that I don't like. Mr. Hardin's door is always open and he will listen. As for the school board meeting the more people who come and voice their opinions on school matters the better chance we have of getting what we want. The problem is no one ever comes to the meetings. I don't know how many were at the last meeting as I was sick, but usually it is only one or two people besides school employees. So I am usually out numbered. I would like to get rid of the policy that restricts free speech. I as soon as I get done posting the rest of the drug fund audit I will be going back to it.
Thanks for the comment and keep reading.
I rememer a witch hunt that was lead by Mr. Gamble on the base years ago, that at the time put someone in jail, they lost their job, and just about everything they had. The kicker was that Gamble pushed the whole thing, which later got dismissed to to lack of evidence, witnesses bailed (like they tried to do from the beginning)and that the story was all fabricated. I knew the individual involved and everything that went on. Gamble was on nothing more than a "let me pump myself up witch hunt". I'm glad he didn't win.
BUT, I do agree we need a change.
Mr. Gamble made a great post here, but as usual he does not have all the facts about deputy godley. He should have said just about every person on Kingsbay, both civilian and military have viewed porn on a computer at some point or another,even NCIS just ask those who work there, oh that's right they want admit it cause they too may get in trouble. About six months prior to godley's investigation, another security officer was charged with veiwing porn for the second time on a government computer and he was a florida certified officer but Mr. Gamble did not try to go after his florida certification as he did godley's georgia certification. The fact is Gamble had no say in the disiplinary action of godley at all, and he was cleared of every accusation except for misuse of a government computer. It was the Security Officer of the Base a "Navy Person", that elected to terminate godley, and the Deputy Security Officer, a civilian said he would "hire him back in a heartbeat" to the merit system protection board when godley was fighting to have his job on the base reinstated. Mr. Gamble has proven that he is extremely vendictive man, and the only way he was forced to stop his harrasement of godley was a letter was written to Washington D.C. to the NCIS Director about Gambles unethical behavior, low and behold his crap STOPPED. If Gamble is not happy living in our county he should packup and move back to Atlanta and rejoin Atlanta P.D. as a horse shit remover, cause he's too old to ride. Godley is a proven outstanding law officer, I have known he and his family for years and he will go out of his way to help anyone. He beleives in fair and equal treatment. As a friend, I know he has made mistakes, and paid for them, and moved forward with his life. This is really old news, more than 10 years ago people. This is just unreal how far a person will go to smear Sheriff Smith and the Sheriff's Office. All I can say is the grass is always greener till your standing in that pasture, then it's rather greener where you left. So leave the Smith pasture if you choose but he will still be there for you because thats the kind of person Bill is.
Well, BTW's most ardent supporters are apparently impervious to revelatory education. Perhaps deprogramming by people experienced in rescuing dupes from cults is their only hope.

You know I worked as a civilian on Kings Bay from 1984 to 1999 and contrary to what I read a couple of paragraphs ago, not once did I visit a porn site much less a kiddy porn site. That could be because I am not now nor have I ever been a twisted pedophile who gets their jollies off watching kids in very compromising situations. I can't believe that some of you can trivialize these acts by making statements like "Well every body does it or Well, we all make mistakes." SHAME ON YOU!!!
Excuse me but do you really believe that Deputy Godley viewed child porn?
The answer should be absolutely NOT. IF this accusation was true don't ya think he would of been prosecuted?! There is no doubt if there was anything to this the NCIS would have crucified him. Come on people, the man was bored, he looked at some naked pictures (adults) on a government computer. This WAS wrong, he lost his job, end of story!
I believe that Mr. Godley has done everything to avoid answering two very simple questions he was asked. All we read from his postings was a lot of BS and lip service but no direct answers to either of these questions.
1). Did Mr. Godley at anytime outside the course of His official capacity as a law enforcement official conducting an investigation, have occasion to view child pornography?
YES OR NO
2). Did he at anytime during the course of his law enforcement career sexually harass women?
YES OR NO
Instead, Mr. Godley leaves us to draw our own conclusions. It's really quiet simple, either he did these things or he didn't. If he didn't, why not say I did not do it!!!! Instead he chooses to start rambling about what this agency and that agency did or did not do. Stop the grand standing and tell the truth. Because his previous two post only serve to make him appear even less credible than he already did. If that's even possible. In addition why don't all of you on the Mr. Godley bandwagon, let him fight his own battles and speak for himself instead of fighting them for him.
Ounce again, If you knew as much about Mr. Godley as you say you do, then you would know the answer to the questions you continue to ask. They have been answered and from what I gather it's NO and NO. But I spoke to him a couple of days ago, and nobody has requested to met with him at his place of employment to understand his whole life story. As I read here on this blog, it would make Steve a Best Seller if ever written. Oh and the other jackass , well he has viewed porn, trust me cuase I worked with him, I know. He just don't want his teaching credibility questioned?
Again, from the gospel of the "Godley Bandwagon" instead of Godley himself. We have our answers and we haven't asked you for yours. Thanks Mr. Gamble for your honesty in this matter. Godley has been given every opportunity to shout from the roof tops that "I did not do these things." But all we get is lip service from his many publicist.
I agree if I was cleared and it is on record as such I would be yelling it out that I did not do this. But he has not, and that concerns me.
Last night 8/30/07) was one of my infrequent trips out of the house. To protect some identities, let's
just say that I was in the company of three other people who live in Camden County.
I was recounting the story of the comical demise of the original "4thebadge." I mentioned who was behind it.
Much to my amazement, one of the people, not well known to me previously, chimes in and says:
"Oh, yeah, that's Sargeant Dave. I know him. He used to be up at the jail in Woodbine, but they had to move him down to the one in Kingsland. Yeah, he got into some trouble up there in Woodbine. He got caught letting males and females go into the shower together over in the pod and have sex while he watched."
Flabbergasted, I asked "How do you know this?"
The person's friend, whom I do know, volunteered that this person had been in the county jail - a trustee, in fact - for - well, for security, I won't say how long or how long ago. Subsequent conversation led me to beleive this person's veracity.
Kind of sheds a whole new light on Sgt. Dave's propensity to spring to the defense of a fellow CCCSO officer accused of sexual misconduct on duty, don't you think?
By the way, I posted this,then cancelled after I noticed a cuople of errors.
