This department is a dumpster fire on wheels… if you can even find a working car to put the fire in. Half the squad cars are barely operable, the equipment is trash, and officers are left to fend for themselves while leadership hides behind their titles and egos. The place is held together with duct tape and delusion.
Morale? Nonexistent. Nobody here feels supported unless you’re part of the chosen circle, the “royal family.” The chief is a bald-headed clown who somehow skipped the part where you earn respect as a sergeant or Lieutenant before launching himself into the chief’s seat. The man couldn’t lead a group of kids across the street, let alone a department in crisis.
And speaking of royalty, the nepotism here is disgusting. The chief is married to a detective sergeant, and magically their daughter is also a detective after barely touching the road. She’s been in that position for three years, spent most of it pregnant by the day shift patrol sergeant, and still gets treated like she’s untouchable. Special treatment is the rule, not the exception. The only detectives work load is manned by 1 detective, who is not apart of the family. Poor guy! An officer was just taken from the road and put back into the detective bureau where he can pick up the rest of the workload for the mother (who retired in 4 months and the daughter (who is on maternity leave….. again)
If you’re not part of the family, you’re disposable. There’s no leadership, no backbone, and no care for the people actually doing the work. Orvis is the prime example of a coward in uniform. He’ll do anything to make himself look good, including selling out fellow officers. Claims to run up call numbers while never leaving the building. The man wouldn’t last two minutes in a real patrol car or a real fight and everyone here knows it. Literally, anyone in this department could fold him
This place isn’t a department it’s a circus run by insecure clowns protecting their own while everyone else suffers. Nobody here cares about doing the job right, they just care about titles, image, and who they’re sleeping with. The community deserves better. The officers deserve better. Mt. Morris Twp PD is a sad excuse for a police department.
This place is a mess and a prime example of people getting promoted who have no business being a cop or a supervisor. If you are not part of the royal family you will get dumped on constantly.
The royal family who uses this place to embezzle money every year and no one does anything. The chief, his wife the db Sgt, their daughter, and son in law all drive take home cars thousands of miles a year for personal use. They don’t even own their own personal vehicles, they just drive around with department vehicles using tax free gas all year. Take the vehicles up north and never claim this on their taxes.
The chief is woefully unprepared to be a leader and is vindictive to anyone who doesn’t support his ego and his family. He’s delusional and states all the time “name one time I’ve shown favoritism”. We all laugh and would like him to show a time he didn’t show favoritism. Family members and Sgt Orvis are allowed to leave early from work multiple times a month and still get paid, yet they try to fire people for similar things saying it’s theft of time.
The DB Sgt is married to the chief and has no idea what she’s doing. She doesn’t know how to write a search warrant and when new guys go back to db she says “just figure it out” when new guys have questions, and she supervises her daughter. Detective Swanson does all the work and it’s unbelievable he hasn’t quit yet.
The chief can’t manage the vehicles. There was a time this year where there was only 1 marked police cruiser and 1 unmarked without lights or sirens. Guys were riding 2-3 deep in a police car with no radio, no lights, no sirens. Chief came in and found out and instead of fixing the problem he was mad at the officers who took unmarked car just so they could answer emergency calls. The chief and his wife run their officers plates in the parking lot as well in an attempt to get officers in trouble.
Chief Veach also fired his best friend Sgt Hissong for being inappropriate with multiple women in the department sending them porno videos and inappropriate messages. The chief himself was doing the same thing but fired Hissong and then wiped his phone and that disappeared.
The amount of spelling errors the chief, db Sgt and other supervision makes in emails and messages is laughable, they don’t understand they’re, there, their or two too and to and can’t make coherent sentences. As I said woefully unprepared and extreme levels of poor leadership.
The chief never wears his uniform. He shows up in jeans and a Michigan hoodie everyday, except the time osha came and he rushed into his office and changed into his uniform, which was related to them trying to hide the fact that they dumped over 800 gallons of gasoline from the tanks into the ground water.
Sgt Orvis is the worst pathological liar on the planet. The guy can’t supervise a mouse. He talks about how much money he has, how he’s better than everyone and is friends with every high ranking person on the planet yet it’s all just lies. He took out a go fund me to pay for his dogs surgery, then the dog didn’t need it so he used the money to buy a truck. He also lies daily about his stats, how long he’s been a cop, and about things he’s done. He says he owns a pontoon boat but it’s actually owned by his friend who lets him use it. Orvis leaves early for free numerous times a month and never gets in trouble because he strokes the ego of the royal family. Orvis also watches everyone’s body camera footage for hours and hours and never leaves the office only looking to get people in trouble.
The department talks **** about every officer behind their back, treats them like complete garbage constantly and then when someone doesn’t want to work overtime or do a special detail they double down on treating you like ****. Nobody is happy here everyone is just riding out their time until these people leave. I’ve been a cop for 20 years and I’ve had alot of bad supervisors. Nothing compares to the way we are treated here, truly despicable.
Mt. Morris Township (not to be confused with Mt. Morris City, They have a real chief!) Is the department that use to be a great place to work until the current chief made it a family run cult. The only difference between the chief and Dahmer is the chief is 100lbs heavier and bald. They both get enjoyment from ruining lives. Sad part is its not even hidden when he does it (with the help of Orvis), the township supervisor is fully aware of all the chiefs lies.
Speaking of lies, the township has went through countless attorneys because they keep dropping the department after discovering how much the chief drags them into and lies. The chief has caused countless unprofessional lawsuits in the short years he has been given that position! He is the no. 1 named person right now in a sexual harassment lawsuit involving a former employee (who was fired for making the complaint and has countless emilas and text providing proof of the explicit content that was sent to her), wrongfully terminations, and forced officers to resign or a federal warrant packet would be filed for charges, and not to mention an officer that still works there that was fired twice by the township because the chief lied and was caught, 3 arbitrations and had to file a suit with Mcoles because the chief made up lies to get his license taken away. And even after every arbitrator, and every judge ruled in his favor, saying what the chief did was extremely unprofessional and disgusting, the township does nothing.
Orvis has stripes but is far from a sgt. I have never seen an officer more hated by other officers in the entire county than him! That guy’s is a walking psycho path that wants to be part of the chiefs family so bad, he will try and make up lies about any good officer to get them fired because he knows he will never amount to anything in life and seriously never will. Every employee and officer that has been fired in the past 10years has been caused by Orvis and the chief. And has been proven to be lies.
The township is is so broke they would be better off putting a donation basket out front to cover attorney fees. They are trying to take Healthcare away from the retired officers right now because they said they feel “its in the best financial interest of the township!” How about you get rid of the lowlife scum that keeps causing unnecessary expenses in attorney fees and settlements. Then maybe just maybe they can buy patrol cars and safer equipment! The chief cares about his family that works there and that is it. Everyone of his family members and him that are employed there have new vehicles purchased by the township but the officers 75% of the time dont even have have less cars then the detectives and supervisors.
RUN! Thats all I can say. This place is one of the worst run departments in the entire county! Dont risk your career and life for a chief and department that dont even show up or call when you have been shot at on more than one occasion!
