Pinellas sheriff, Clearwater police chief discuss officer's arrest on corruption allegation

8yr old Zachary Bernhardt went missing from Clearwater in the year 2000. Chief Slaughter wasn't able to solve this case as he wanted. Maybe, Chief Gandy can order a new look because tons of information has come forth in the past few years. FDLE still has the case open and an active Amber Alert is still in place.

I’ve been a Floridian for 47yrs….. I’ve lived in Pinellas county two separate times and just recently left there three years ago in 2021 the Pinellas county Sheriff’s office regardless of district they are a Gestapo. 😢 The corruption that runs within the Pinellas County sheriffs office is unbelievable.

This is a good communicative presentation! Thank you for arresting your own crooked cops. Ethics equals Trust.

What a terrible situation. Betrayal is so horrible.

Police corruption happens all the time in Lee County

Once the sheriff said that the detective was the president of their police union, I was no longer shocked or even surprised by the crimes he committed.

Imagine ALL the cops getting away with this.

I can’t believe a union president would do anything wrong 🙄🙄

Now arrest the rest of them

A full time drug dealer with a badge....RUFKM!!

I hope there is a trial and it is streamed on you tube

Excellent job in Pinellas county, Florida law and order. We appreciate all you do.

OMG! Come to Broward County as corruption is rampant. There are numerous officers who work both sides of the street, especially in the Northwest part of Broward County. Unfortunately many arrests have been made of dealers, but no one will FLIP..TO SCARED! Who is Sarge? There coming👽👽👽👽

TALK ABOUT THE CORRUPTION WITH MANY OF YOUR OFFICERS IN 79 THEY WERE NEVER PROSECUTED

Wow, just wow... the corruption is off the charts. Thank you for exposing the criminals no matter who they are.

“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” All mean are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Amen!

yeah! send him away for a long long time.

There’s a Clearwater cop who goes on dating sites and harasses women and threatens them. He did it to me, he wrote something about me that only someone with access to records would know, I forget his name, he was hit by a car on his police bicycle on Clearwater beach and was in the newspaper for that incident which is how I found out who he was because his dating profile has the badges on his police uniform blanked out. But I called him out by name and he left me alone. This county needs a complete reset of officers idc how they try to placate you or ensure you the general public hasn’t been effected and I know that’s bullish

That’s messed up why is he even got his bond?

Reprehensible is the best single word I could come up with.
