All I can say is woohoo! And I hope someday the other corrupt cop in coquille gets his too. I have never personally been the subject of a cops attention, however my friend was, he would follow her throughout town when she was out and harrass her otherwise. I dont like driving in coquille for the reason of the police officers seem to have nothing else to do except follow innocent people around. There are just too many bad cop stories in coquille, mainly involving Ulmar and one other evidence stealing cop. I knew his brother who repeatidly told me about stolen evidence.

I'v been reading the comments written about X officer Ulmer. I have some thoughts to share with you. I disapprove of his actions just as the rest of you. I don't know what possessed
him to steal but I'm not commenting here to judge him. He ought to be treated just like any other person would be. What I wonder is this...Is it that so many are just mad at Police in general for their own personal reasons and it is just really exciting to us to see one of them actually get caught?

if you can find a study which shows how many of those complaints were valid, post a link, otherwise go back to your closet.
If we were fired because of "complaints" there would be no officers on the road. We are routinely accused of rape, brutality, abuse, theft, drug use, etc... by the people who are ACTUALLY doing those things and are not happy with the officer bringing them to justice.
I've heard many times as a police officer that if you NEVER get a complaint, you're not doing your job.

The car was 3 to 4 mi. from Charlston! He was NOT impaired. The judge DISMISSED the case! We're NOT talking about stealing a pencil. We're talking about abuse of power. Lying about said abuse of power. Why do you resist a good idea that serves and protects the people from abuse? The 4th of July episode at the beach that took place because a kid named Cameron forgot to turn on his lights and then had to endure abuse and lies by 3 or 4 that hauled him in and found nothing.

Dear Waiting,
Everyone has some "bad cop" story to tell. You don't get your car towed because of a "little bit" of marijuana. And when they tow, it is towed to the closest city not to their preference or home town. Most vehicles are towed because the driver is impaired, uninsured, or unlicensed. And do you want to pay for the polygrapher to come and ask me if I stole a pencil every 6 months? Do you have any idea what you are asking for? Or are you one of those who thinks that you don't have to live up to any standard because you are not a public employee? I am saying that EVERYONE should have to live up to a higher standard.

Get your facts straight. Your head too. Each town has a rotation. That cop was just plain arrogant. Unserving. He did not have to have a Bandon wrecker tow his car to the wrong town. In fact, shouldn't have. As for the Marijuana. He takes it for severe back pain. You demonize it with the "pot head" remark but I bet you think alcohol is okay. btw, The judge dismissed the case. Screen the cops!

I have had so many problems in the past with the CPD. However, I do want to say that I have NEVER had a problem with Officer Ulmer. He has ALWAYS been kind and compassionate to me. Any problems I have had in the past have seem to have cleared up since Chief Dannels took over. I am so saddened by what has happened with Officer Ulmer - BUT I will not say anything negative about him as I like him. I agree with Citizen.....wait and see what happens with this case.

County employee, Those back ground checks are good but what about six months, one year, 2 tears later? Power will always beckon abuse of said power. Example that just happened: Cop pulls over guy going home from work. Finds small amount of marijuana. Has his car towed to Bandon instead of Coos Bay. His home town. The cost to him was over $100 more. That is not the honest behavior we want from police that work for us. I would like to see them get regular lie detector tests to check such abuse of power.

Dear, Mr. or Ms. Taxpayer,
It may seem that you have no perception of what is going on except for your idea of what law enforcement is. Even if you have failed to follow any of this you will see that the Police Chief is handling this matter the way it should be handled. No exceptions to the rules this is the way of life. Mr. Ulmer is going to be treated with the same factors as anyone else facing the court system. Then you take this opportunity to blame the police department for not finding a missing person. I wont even comment on your response as your ignorance is obvious.

Well TAXPAYER,I too pay taxes (oh do I pay taxes) I don't expect you or anyone else to change your mind about law enforcement, the public has been laying blame on us for hundreds of years, we are all too familiar with that. Yep it is always our fault you left the bar drunk off your butt and killed someone;we just didn't get there fast enough to stop you,it is our fault your kid got stoned and stole a car;we weren't watching your kid close enough,and don't forget to blame us for arresting an innocent guy with meth, who more than likely got the kid on it that stole the car. Blame us all see if we care, we will still go to work and we will still protect you. Make no mistake about it TAXPAYER it hurts the law enforcement community when something like this happens to one of us, we don'tlike to see it happen either. I will say it again people (including cops)make bad choices not mistakes.

Dear Mr. Waiting,
I work for the Coos County Sheriff's Office. I went through a VERY extensive background check before I was hired which included a complete reference check, criminal background check (no I don't have one), credit check, and a walk through of my home. Every past employer was contacted. I took tests, and was interviewed by a panel of at least 6 people. I don't know what Coquille does, but no matter what background check an employer does, someone can decide to be stupid at some point. Happens in every department in the country. Now what I would like to see is EVERY criminal get the same punishment as Mr. Ulmer. Lose their job, lose any chance at going to work in a similar job, and pay the fines and fees. A lot of mill workers, loggers, retail clerks etc do commit criminal acts and let me tell you it is buried in fine print on a back page somewhere. Why can't we hold EVERYONE to that proverbial higher standard? Wouldn't the world be a better place?

With over 20 years in the feild I could not help but give my comment. I really can't understand the thinking process of some of the comments. Why are you blaming all law enforcement people? Do you really think that the other Officers in Coquille KNEW this was going on? The theft has NOTHING to do with a citation you may have recieved from Ulmer. These things happen all over the U.S. everyday in all types of business, yes law enforcement should be held to a higher standard,people make mistakes,blah,blah,blah. He should be given a fair trial and treated like everyone else he didn't make a mistake he make a bad decsision and he will pay for it. He has lost his job and will lose his certification, it will cost him money and embarrassment in the community. I take offense to those of you that think the rest of us are dirty, oh unless you need us!

A lot of the submissions are stating the Mr Ulmer made a "mistake". A mistake would be him inadvertently or unknowingly taking money. There was no "mistake" here. He chose to steal money. Cops are held to a higher standard because of the work they do. He shouldn't be cut any slack for that. I appreciate is service, but if he commits a crime, he is even worse than the criminals he puts away because he should have known better in the first place.

I get so sick of all these acts of thefts. Thefts that have been happening and all these people that try to defend the thieves by saying "they made a MISTAKE". To set the record straight I just looked up the definition for the word MISTAKE: "an error in action, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness & insufficient knowledge. Is this the type of people we need on our police force, in our city works depts. that handles money? After all everybody makes mistakes, but it is different in civilians lives then in public officials lives.

Even more unfortunate, is the damage done to the reputation of CPD and law enforcement in general. Thankfully, Chief Daniels is doing well by all accounts and it seems he and the DA have handled this incident well to date.

Leave him alone, at least he admitted to doing what he has been charged with and didn't lie about it.

Also, the Chief and the DA have done a great job with how they have handled this and especially for being blindsided by it all. You guys always have to find something to complain about and I'm sure if you lived under surveillance 24/7, your lives wouldn't be so perfect either. Get a Life!

what makes most of you think that the whole department is dirty. Why don't we all see how Chief Daniels handles all of this before we start wondering about cover ups and people getting off. If is completely out the the CPD hands now. It is totally right that they get rid of the problem and he should be punished, but lets not hold the whole department responsible for one officers stupidity.

Let's get a little perspective here. No one is perfect, we all make mistakes. Anyone who says they have never done something stupid or wrong, they are a liar. Ulmer is paying with a lost carreer and who knows what else. That does not mean he is a bad man, it means he is human and maded a bad mistake, just like many others.
One bad mistake does NOT erase all the good things anyone does!

Well, well, well, a cop who isn't perfect. What do all you high and mighty people say now?

How can the department operate with such shameful ethics - this is not a major force in numbers - they work with each other and just turn a blind eye to corruption? or don't notice? - I'm so sick of hearing these stories - its laughable to hear that they need to raise the standards - they need to have pride and honor in their profession - how much more delinquent can you get when you break laws that you are supposed to uphold - just shameful behaviour all around - it disgusts me and I can't help but feel for the citizens who are represented by such bozos

I agree, outside sources should take this case,too close to home to be objective.
One person gives an entire department a bad name. I hope he is feeling the shame that should come with this act.
Our kids have so few people to look up to anymore. We teach them to respect the police, then have to explain about their humanity and frailties, sad.

For all you POLICE haters. YOU are the reason we need police in the first place. Small minded people. Your type are usualy the first to scream for the police. I read your snide remarks and think of the series cops. Why don't you get off the computer and get a job.

This is an example of the logic some of you are using about law enforcement in Coos County:
God is love
Love is blind
Ray Charles is blind
Ray Charles is God
God is love
Love is blind
Ray Charles is blind
Ray Charles is God

Officer Ulmer and the others that are involved in this should be hammered by a outside DA. Frazier is not gonna be willing to get to the bottom of this. Some cases will be throwed out that Ulmer handled.

Gee, what a surprise. Actually the real surprise will be if this cop is held responsible and ends up doing anything but probation. It's doubtful. Now anyone else would have a stack of charges just so they DA would have bargaining material, but I am not hopeful of any real justice here. They always continue to look after their own.
