Former Orange County sheriff Michael Carona apparently appointed approximately 400 of his cronies as "professional service responders" and gave them badges. Carona resigned in January and is now awaiting a federal trial on corruption charges. Badges reportedly were exchanged for $1,000 campaign contributions as early as 1998.
While Carona awaits his day in court, his successor is trying to retrieve the badges but 42 are mysteriously "missing". It would appear that many of the cronies are trying to hang on to their ill-gotten police credentials. L.A. Times story is here.
