"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Against The WAllBy albanylady, Section Diaries
As a woman of color who has worked in the Albany Police Department for years I was dissapointed to see Chief Tuffey blame the low Marole on Chris Messley. There is low marole because of him and how he treats the men and woman of the department. Reecently there was an incident where an Assistant Chief sexually harassed a woman we work with and he did nothing about it. Everyone in headquarters knows about it and the poor thing was upset but he did nothing. What are we the woman who work here to think? what about our morale when he covers these things up??
Chief Tuffey walks around angry and mean and doesn't even say good morning to anyone he just grunts at them. I hear him yelling at the people who work here everyday. That's why morale is low. He treats the people he works with like dirt and the demands they treat the public in a different way. It's hypocritical and it is the reason why things are happening the way they are. I am embarrased to be part of this department right now but it isn't because of the people here. They do a good job and trry there best but he is impossible to please. I wish he would just leave.
