"New Majority" JACC Secretary McCandless Renews Call For Police Investigation Into Theft Of JACC Records, Equipment

Does JACC have its hands full without the added burden of missing records and office equipment? See photo above for the answer to THAT.

Anne McCandless, "New Majority" JACC Secretary, ex-cop, and a powerful force of personality within the board, has fired off an email to a number of individuals--including the Minneapolis Chief of Police and the commander of the 4th Precinct--renewing her call for an active, aggressive police investigation into the, er, MIDNIGHT PURLOINING of JACC's records (hmmm, who would want those?) and office equipment. The email was sent "in the open" to a number of public officials and I happen to be on the recipient line. So it's going on the blog.

McCandless attached a copy of the police report...

...and I thought it would be informative to make that document available at the JNS Blog "PDF support site." Cut and paste the URL below to access that site and the document. (Usual grumbling about Apples, somewhat muted of late, though)

Below I have reproduced, verbatim, McCandless' call for a more active investigation, even if that means calling in the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department.

(To various, numerous recipients)

We are still waiting for an investigation into the burglary which occurred after Jerry Moore was fired as the JACC Executive Director and Ben Myers was ousted as the Vice Chair. We have a more evidence (sic) and even a witness to the crime, but still no police investigation.

Judge Porter has been pretty clear in his decision that the current JACC leadership is acting responsibly. Stealing the property of our organization is not legal and should be investigated and, if appropriate, charged. Since the City Attorney is not the charging body on a felony (last time I checked, Burglary and theft over $1000 was a felony), I can see no conflict of interest in
perusing this investigation.

If I am wrong and the City feels there is a conflict, perhaps Hennepin County Sheriff's detectives would help us out in
this matter. Please advise, ASAP. We need our property back or the perpetrators held accountable.

I have attached a copy of the original police report.

Thank you.

Anne McCandless
