Special Board Meeting

I received a phone call from Terry Shipp declaring that he had nothing to do with the calling of this meeting, and demanding a retraction.  Thank you, Terry, for the phone message.  If I received the wrong information as to who called the meeting.....  My sincerest apologies.  The meeting has been canceled.

At least that was what Charles Wood believed as president of the POA Board.  It takes 2 members of the board to call a Special Meeting.  Mr Wood believed that Terry Shipp had been one of those members.  The truth came out this evening.  Doc Norwood and Betts Winsor called the Special Board Meeting without letting Jack Watson or Charles Wood know anything about it.....including the purpose for the meeting.  The purpose was to replace Charles Wood as president.

The New elected officers of this Board are:

• President ----------Ray Massey
• Vice President ----Jim Hannon
• Secretary ----------Jack Watson
• Treasurer ----------Tom Lockette

Police Shooting Victim's address to Diamondhead

Diane, at this time, we are not contemplating filing civil charges against Ensminger.
In the future, I respectfully advise the Board to utilize a Plan Of Correction when faced with adverse events such as those repeatedly created by Ensminger. As a former nursing home administrator, utilizing federal regulation requirements under adverse events, I would ask myself three questions;

1. What happened. Investigate the event and determine what happened.

2. What immediate steps did you take to correct the problem; i.e. termination, warning, etc.

3. What systems did you put into place to prevent the problem from reoccurring;
i.e. Training, immediate in service of all employees, policy changes and so on.

One last request.
Please don't rehire Ensminger as a Diamondhead police officer.
Cindy and I had never heard of or seen Fred Ensminger until 21 July, 2010.
If at all possible we wish not to see or hear from him ever again.


Thank you,
Best wishes
