Scialdone Learned it from Rialto Where he Was the Interim Police Chief

---

BS Ranch Perspective:

This had to be learned from when he was Chief at Rialto Police Department! I guess this is something that we had been doing for a long time, and now Frank Scialdone wants to pass this good idea on to the Fontana Police Agency! I say if it works, then why fix it, make it work at as many Police Departments as it can and the more Children that it keeps from Gangs, and out of the Life of Crime, the better!! That is Money that is well spent! While Frank was an alright person while he was Chief here at the city of Rialto, he took the job with the understanding of two things. One was as a Favor to his "Friend" the City Administrator Garcia, and the second was to work for Ed Scott and find the Corrupt Officer in the Police department, after all there had to be one, hiding in this agency, it wasn't after all the Previous Chief that was Corrupt, Ed Scott was not going to listen to anyone's stories of Corruption about Burgess, and or Meyers, it was all someone from with in the department, not the chief that they were standing beside, and supporting through the whole problems of the city. Yet when they had Meyers leave the department there was little fan fair made of the Four, five or even six people that Meyers Let go on his second to last day. They were the Corrupt Officers or Employee's that Ed Scott might have been seeking, but who am I to say, I am just a low life observer to these events. that took place. I will not get into the crimes of the people that were let go, as I am not positive as to what some of the crimes were. But I do know that some were felonies that were not filed as favors to Chief Meyers.

Fontana Herald(Unknown Date)

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) - Councilman Frank Scialdone wants to use money seized in drug busts to pay for programs aimed at keeping kids out of trouble.

Scialdone proposed using a portion of the money as grants to help families who can't afford fees for recreation programs. He borrowed the idea from Rialto, where he is interim police chief.

"By participating in the programs, these kids are involved in meaningful activities," Scialdone said. "They don't have idle time on their hands, and they don't get involved in mischief."

When police officers seize money from drug dealers as evidence, the money is distributed among various agencies, including the district attorney's office, the state and the police department that seized the money, Scialdone said.

Fifteen percent of a police department's share is set aside in a special account for crime prevention and the rest goes to buy equipment and pay for overtime.
