I do not know this man but just FYI, if council would approve ex mayor, John McClung, to sit on the building committee, after he got 6 mos in a plea agreement, which was lessened to. 6 months home confinement, which was shortened after that, nothing would surprise me. It's Public record, the man pleaded no contest to stealing. Council's defense was although he was never to seek public office again, this position on the building commission was appointed, not elected ! Let's put the very person whose stole from us once, knows everything about the city, right back inside the door. Come on.. how trusting can they be? Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me ! Even more concerning, after all the public distrust, how can he show up there without being humiliated? Maybe he'll take them all for a beer for lunch! Too few ppl making decisions without public awareness but I guess that's our fault for allowing it. Remember, council works for us, as do the "elected " officials. Please don't come back with how little you get paid because you are there because you want to be! Start doing what's good for the city and hiring felons isn't good no matter how you spin it!

Working with Chief Cole

I too have had the pleasure of working with Cole and have to say that I am impressed with his morals, ethics, knowledge of police work and overall ability to do his job.
I also see that Bradley Nelson has visited this site and put his "opinion" on here. What Nelson doesn't want to tell you is that he himself is the reason for the "problem." He did not follow his orders therefore he was being insubordinate. Ummmmm...interesting that he chose not to put that out there. He then was wrote up for it and continue to not follow orders. That would make it his fault for termination. He seemed to then take his issue of shame and guilt out on Cole.
What Alderman neglects to tell you is he too was charged with a crime of having documents from the BOE way after he was "let go" by them. Many documents containing personal financial records of residents. Me personally I think that after his medical issues something snapped and he is purely insane.
McNally, in reference to his comment about Alderman's arrest, neglects to tell you that Alderman ADMITTED to speeding when he was initially given the speeding ticket. Ummmm....shouldn't he receive the same of paying the ticket? Nope, he chose to try and be above the law and weasel his way out of it. In regards to Cole "not showing up for court," documents were provided to show he was in KY attending his Grandmother's funeral. Again, in my opinion, Alderman was showing his insane self when he actually taunted and questioned whether a man was attending his Grandmothers funeral. To be a preacher, or at least say his is, showing compassion is suppose to occur but NOPE not him.(Insanity showing)
As far as Cole's abilities, he has proven himself over and over. He has been involved and arrested many individuals involved in meth labs, using and selling. Along with others on the department, he worked himself to exhaustion during the derecho and other power outages we have had. Many hours of unpaid overtime checking on people and neighbors.
As with many jobs in the publics eye, when Cole has arrested or warned someone they have gotten angry and decided to run with rumors but never giving credit to the good things he has done.
And no I am not a relative or another officer but someone that has worked with him for a little over 5 years. I figured that would be the first response made.
I wish him the best of luck and he can and will do the job in my opinion.

I agree with Amazed. We need to quit being so trusting and start being more informed. If you think you are going to get any info from city hall, that's a joke, unless you can catch Bob out front on a smoke break and then he blows you off, while blowing the smoke out his mouth.
This city has long been too eager to stick their heads in the sands and turn the day to day operations over to elected officials. There is barely 2,000 people in Richwood, however, a few make all the decisions and unless you buy the one liberal paper in the county, you don't know jack. Get involved. Ask for answers and accountability. The John McClung deal is almost laughable. Why he would even want to be on the bldg. committee makes you wonder. It's no pay involved, but it sure holds a lot of access to grants, property, etc...If he can no longer run for any elected office, do you think he wants this position to help the city, LOL? Once a thief, always a thief. While we are on the subject, I want my $5. back that is attached to the water bill each month. I see no officers and I certainly see no fixed sidewalks. Tell me, where is that money going. That's a lot of money. Five dollars times how many households times a year. Come on council, don't take on even the appearance of discrepancy! I am sure there are other people who would take this volunteer position.

What amazes me is that some people will defend this guy after the proof has been given that he was indicted for stealing and he can no longer work in Kentucky. Hell he fit in real good in Pocahontas County because from what I have read on the various newspaper sites on the web the entire department he worked for was corrupt and probably still is. Before anymore tells me what a great guy he is remember every body who knew John Wayne Gacy said he was a great guy until they found 20 bodies under his house and I'm sure there are some people who will say Jeffery Dahmer was a great guy to. I' m by no means comparing him to either of those monsters I'm pointing out that everyone has an opinion and I myself choose to look at the facts. Just saying its time to call a spade a spade and admit this guy broke the law, got caught and got out of dodge while the getting was good and now he has landed in Richwood.

"Calling a spade a spade" is not comparing him to a serial killer, lol. Other than that, I pretty much agree.

You are JUST absolutely stupid! comparing Officer Cole to serial killers? You sir or madam, are a moron! Why don't you and your other buddies bit@hing on here call Capt. White of the WV State Police and tell him how you feel. He is over LE certification, and puts his stamp of approval on lateral certification transfers. Tell him how much he was wrong, but you won't do that because you know he will tell you to go fu@k yourselves!

Never compared him to a serial killer I just used that example as a statement that assholes like you will defend anyone even when they know they are guilty as for Capt. White i don't know or give a fuck who he is because the people in charge of evaluating equivalent certification are the members of the Law Enforcement Subcommittee notice i said members and the number one thing they look at are academy training hours. They meet once a month and either approve or deny potential candidates for equivalent certification are advise how much training they have to attend at the Professional Development Center located near the academy. Capt. Chuck Sadler is the go between and my dept just had a guy go through the process and his paperwork states the law enforcement subcommittee reviewed his application for equivalent certification its does'nt say Capt. White reviewed it so you can go go pound sand. After reading your posts I can tell you are an individual with limited mental abilities and I can understand why you are so ignorant when it comes to the topic at hand. In fact, you sir probably were a boot licker if and when you went through the basic class and you probably volunteered to polish that wonderful patch every night. In closing I'm ashamed to say someone of your low moral fiber was ever allowed to wear the same uniform that I and thousands of other honest police officers put on everyday. I'm just glad your retired because I think society is much safer with you not enforcing the law. Take care and feel free to throw some more big names out there that I don't know because that really makes you sound much smarter than you apparently are. Just Saying.

It seems that Copper is closely related to an ostrich - he buries his head in the sand anytime that someone says anything negative about a policeman. There is, and always has been, a Code of Silence among police. Ever hear of Serpico? He had to move to Europe to continue living after he exposed a widespread police corruption ring in New York. Ever hear of Totten? Many police in Pocahontas County knew of his sexual predatory ways and failed to stop or expose him, even though Norman Alderman constantly reported Totten's behavior in the E-tater. There has been enough evidence stolen from the Pocahontas County Sheriff evidence room to sink the QE 2. The list is endless. I have discovered in my many years that police lie, cheat and steal just as much as people in general. No matter how much Copper proclaims Cole's innocence, Cole is guilty, guilty, guilty. For reasons best known to the Kentucky prosecutor, the prosecutor decided to use a little Greyhound justice. Cole accepts a court order banning him from further police service in Kentucky, and he agrees to leave Kentucky and not be a further plague on Kentuckians.
Even though I could write ad infinitum about corrupt police, I will close shortly. Do not infer that I am condemning all police, because I know and have known many good police. However, there is a good reason why Thomas Jefferson did not write in the Declaration of Independence that all policemen were created equal.

The bottom line is this, he's a certified police officer in the state of West Virginia, and there isn't one dam thing you can do or say about it. So if you have no life, by all means, stay on here and keep doing your pathetic bit@hing and moaning.

Let me tell you something buckwheat, you couldn't walk a mile in my shoes. You are most likely a glorified security guard for some 1 or 2 man department like Cowen or Camden, maybe a small sheriff's department, not much more than that. You posted all your LE academics to empress everyone to make them think your something that your not. You said you are or was a K-9 officer, if you ever had been one, it was because you went out and bought your own dog and said it was a K-9. Yes, I've ran into officers like you over the years, you come and go. By the way, I would also bet your a gypsy cop, moving from department to department for some odd reason; I wonder why? Yep your comments and postings speak volumes about yourself. So, with that said, and all this crap about Officer Cole, and that just what it is...crap. I bid you farewell, goodbye, adios, and you sir, can kiss my hard corp blue ass!

You can contact the KLEC (Kentucky Law Enforcement Council) and ascertain if he lost his certification and if he can ever regain it. They are responsible for certifying, approving and revoking law enforcement certifications within the state. You can contact the Jefferson County KY Prosecutors Office and do a FOIA request because it is a matter of public record, request a transcript it may cost a few bucks but what the hell. You can contact the New Buechel city office and police department and see what they have to say about him again do a FOIA and see what it turns up. You could try to contact his former cohort William Ellis via an internet search and see what he has to say about his former coworker. You can contact West Virginia Law Enforcement Training and send them all of the information you dig up along with copies of the articles from the Kentucky newspapers that covered the incident. You could also contact each member of the law enforcement subcommittee individually and ask them how this individual is allowed to be employed here when he is barred from working in another state as a police officer. You could also notify them you are contacting your local representative and also the Governors office and Committee on Crime and Delinquency to dertermine how this travesty of justice occurred in the first place, I'm sure someone will be looking at it closely if you knock on enough doors. So Copper there are plenty of things that can be done which could or would lead to a review of this gentlemans origional certification including his origional application for equivalent certification to see if he withheld any pertinent information which would have led to them dennying his certification in the first place.

yes norm had a ticket it was dismissed in court. yes Norma is indicted for the third time for the same thing after the sheriff went magistrate shopping. two previous judge dismissed it. seems you don't want to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. maybe you should talk to the FBI and state police about all the investigation involving the Pocahontas County Sheriff's Department. one officer had 66 sex phone is against him. the sheriff even talk to one of the victims. they refuse to believe it. thank God the state police in the FBI got to the truth. when the sheriff's department couldn't or wouldn't. the fact is call got busted and made a deal. nothing's going to change that

Apparently your alzhiemers is acting up and you have me confused with someone else I never said I was a K9 officer I said you were a boot licker in your basic class if you indeed were in one, also by your definition your buddy Cole is a gypsy cop since he can't stay in one place or at one department to long so he must be one of the guys you have met in your wonderful law enforcement career ( maybe thats why you and he are such kindred spirits ). They say birds of a feather flock together. As for walking in your shoes I'll have to pass because they probably stink just like your policing abilities and your ass is blue because you sat on it for 20 years collecting a paycheck for doing as little as possible. In fact, you probably were bullied in school and got into law enforcement because carrying a gun and wearing a badge made you feel like a big man, a man you could never be without them. I to have known a lot of cops like you, guys who think because they are cops they are better then everyone else and they think that badge and uniform give them respect but in reality your still the same guy suffering from little man syndrome. Your just wea1ring a uniform and carrying a gun but people still laugh at you. Its been nice chatting with you because you have gave me an insight into what my life after law enforcement would be like if I was a load like you throughout my law enforcement career. Please take care and put some medicated cream on that blue ass, if you do I'm sure it will clear up in a few days.
