CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Monday, Dec. 16, 2024 — In drafting subpoenas for organizations that train Hamilton County sheriff’s deputies, I’ve been considering how far down we have fallen into a rotten and corrupt status quo, with training of deputies injecting harm into their practices.
Corrupt training is certified as valid and true.
Noted certification group, CALEA, with annual revenue of F$5.9 million, gives a green light to Hamilton County sheriff Auston Garrett.
But it “certifies” cops across the U.S. empire and beyond. It helps the Morocco national police training academy and, in Mexico, approves Centro de Comando, Computo, Control, Coordinacion, Contacto Ciudadano, Calidad y Communicaciones. Inteligencia Artificial (C7-IA) del Estato de Chihuahua, according to CALEA’s 2023 annual report.

Hamilton County, despite two supreme law constitutions commanding its activity, arrests citizens without warrants when warrants are required and accepts thousands of false imprisonments and false arrests, including mine in Nov. 22, 2023, one day before family members celebrated a pre-Thanksgiving repast at the abode in Soddy-Daisy.
Quick take ———————–
— Safeguards are illusory in quality guarantees
— POST-trained cops secure due process abuse in concrete
Its 2023 enrollment goal was 950 LEAS, 225 communication agencies, 110 training academies and 25 campus police departments. It says 35 percent of U.S. cops work for departments of which it “certifies.”
My federal reform lawsuit against deputy Brandon Bennett, Sheriff Austin Garrett and Hamilton County targets two areas of continuing harm, that being warrantless arrest and “traffic stops,” as they are euphemistically called.
In its 2023 annual report, CALEA says its committees have helped the international association of chiefs of police community policing committee, Mexican narcotics police and the American national sheriff’s association. It certifies the Chattanooga police department and also cops in Chiapas south of the border.
Other groups are in on the certification racket.
What about Tennessee Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission? What about Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy?
The area of controversy is upon the use of police power and whether reformation should be ordered in light of egregious customs and usage exhibited by defendants. The question I intend to have answered by demand for production of records pertains from these three groups’ instruction and practice among the local defendants. Who taught deputy Bennett? Who approved what was taught?
My subpoena demands are based on his alarm as to the use of criminal peacekeeping and conservator of the peace authority crossing over into the world of administrative law and civil law, or equity, treating the citizenry criminally, harshly, violently and oppressively when such treatment in criminal prosecution is beyond the scope of statutory authority and longstanding common law grants to their use of force, and thus injurious to people innocent of criminal activity or criminal intent, their seizure and imprisonment disrupting the productivity, peace, tranquility and enjoyment of society in Tennessee at large, specifically life of plaintiff and others in like situation.
How is a false arrest and a false imprisonment a “mark of professional excellence,” to borrow verbiage from CALEA?
I file these subpoenas to see if I should sue any of these groups and bring them under the authority of federal judge Travis McDonough or an assigned magistrate as master.
