“Dear Fellow Americans,
I need your help!
I come to you as a USMC Veteran who served our country with pride during Operation Iraqi Freedom. A former National Guardsman and someone who has served our local community as a Deputy of the Barnstable County Sheriff’s department for the last 14 years, I am calling out to you for support and action, to create change!
I have reported with ‘Urgent Concern’ that in the course of my official duties as a Deputy Sheriff for Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office, I have been witness to violations of law, deliberate concealment of the truth when reporting critical incidents as well as concealment of vital information in regard to inmate deaths. The deliberate indifference of the ‘leadership’ within the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office undermines the integrity of our legal system and has violated the basic human rights of the inmates within the facility.
I am deeply concerned that actions taken by Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office ‘leadership’ constitute a serious problem, abuse or violation of law. I am concerned that these actions pose a risk to the general public/community and undermine the integrity, policies and core values of the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office itself.
Therefore, I fulfilled my duty and moral obligation to protect the truth by reporting this information through the proper legal channels, to the relevant authorities. I have gone to the proper chain of command within the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office, the Attorney General Maura Healey, and to the Office of The Inspector General to seek help in this matter only to be turned away.
As an American, a Christian and a United States Marine Corps Veteran, I live by a strong moral compass and by the values learned during my service to this country. I can not stand by and allow these injustices to continue to occur. Since the proper legal channels have failed me, I am seeking the community’s help and support in this matter!
Here is what I ask of you! Make a call to a public official, write a letter or send an email regarding my allegations and request they investigate the wrongdoing within the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office.
Help me to uphold the law and hold The Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office responsible by uncovering the truth!
• Governor Baker, Charlie office numbers (617) 725-4005/(888) 870-7770/(202) 624-3616
• Lieutenant Governor Polito, Karyn office number (617) 725-4005
• For all questions, comments or concerns in this matter, the Sheriff (James Cummings) can be reached at (508) 563-4302.

Why I am called to act and the change I hope it brings:
• Fighting For Justice, Inmates Rights and to Honor the Men and Women who work tirelessly at the Sheriff’s Department.
• Calling for Accountability and Complete Transparency.
• Calling for a seamless channel to report wrongdoing within law enforcement departments without retaliation.
• Complete public oversight when allegations are brought up by the public and or an officer.
• I have a duty to uncover wrongdoing and protect the truth.
• I have a duty to Act on behalf of God, our great nation and the American People.
Please Help/Please Share!
Semper Fidelis,

You’re a great man Noah! I served also and worked for Bristol County. You could easily apply this request to them as well.
Noah, please feel free to call me at 508-982-8751. As Francisco says, the same can be said of Bristol County Sheriff’s office, and I dare say many of the county sheriffs’ offices. We went through the same thing and can compare notes. Thanks for your service and for your willingness to get justice for so many incarcerated people. Marlene Pollock – Chair, Bristol County for Correctional Justice.

•You cannot make a man violate his own conscience or make a man violate his own boundaries without consequence.
•Continence-Webster dictionary definition: Functional awareness and response. an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one’s behavior.
-The appropriate action is determined by one’s self-chosen ethical principles of conscience.
•The two biblical commandments of “Conscience” -“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
•Do you think you can violate your continence without cost? When you stand before God you cannot say; but I was told by others to do this or that. Virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice.
•You cannot violate a man own free will and or his continence. You cannot force a man to violate his oath that he swore to uphold and protect. You cannot make a man go against his religious beliefs or willingly sin against himself to make others comfortable. To cause someone to do so or accept something is to use force, intimidation or retaliation.
•One cannot work in a corrupt environment that goes against ethical standards that are the foundational pillars of an institution, Without experiencing a breakdown of ones own Morals, Values and or Virtues. Overtime this two-tier justice system will ultimately contribute to the decay of the mind, body and soul of our nation and ourselves. You cannot live a lie and call it truth.
•There is something very wrong here! One cannot force another to sell there soul to serve tyrannical leadership for a livelihood, when we are born free people and live in a country of law and order.
•My soul and conscience belong to no one but my Creator. nor can someone force me to turn a blind eye follow the crowd and accept evil.
-Further more, to ignore illegal activities or wrongdoing is complicity with the oppressor.
-Scripture tells us, “It is a sin when someone knows the right thing to do and doesn’t do it” -James 4:17
-To ignore evil is to become an accomplice. MLK
•let me get this straight, in a free country, governed by Constitutional rights which are bound by law and order. We no longer have a voice or can think for ourselves. For doing so, will bring consequences on those who stand up and speak up. “Whistle Blowers are no longer protected.”
“Those that do not move will not recognize their chains.”
•What is a man who doesn’t make the world a better place.
•When change is necessary, not to change becomes destructive.
•I am not sorry or will apologize for standing up for my God, my Nation, my fellow officers, the victims, myself or for standing up for what is right-So help me God.
