Please keep digging Commissioner Weaver. The citizens deserve transparency and it’s obvious we can not expect that from Paula Dance unless she is forced to provide information.

A dispute is unfolding between Pitt County Sheriff Paula Dance and Commissioner Gary Weaver over a request for records involving K-9s and county vehicles.

Dance alleges Weaver attempted to direct county IT to unlawfully access a server containing protected sheriff’s office information. Weaver disputes that characterization, saying he made a public records request through established county procedures following the death of K-9 Chilli.

ACCOUNTABILITY: Accountability means you don’t have to personally cause a failure to bear responsibility for failures that occurred because of how you led, supervised, trained, equipped, or managed the people under your authority.

A supervisor gives employees authority and responsibility to perform their jobs. Employees are accountable for their own decisions and actions, but the supervisor remains accountable for how the operation is managed.

For example:

Employee makes a mistake → Employee is accountable for the mistake.
Supervisor failed to train, supervise, provide proper equipment, enforce policy, or correct a known problem → Supervisor is accountable for that failure.

The higher someone is in the organization, the more their accountability shifts from “What did I personally do?” to “What happened under my leadership, and did I take reasonable steps to prevent it?”

That does not mean a supervisor is automatically responsible for every mistake an employee makes. A supervisor generally should not be blamed for something they could not reasonably foresee or prevent.

But when there is a serious failure, leadership should be able to answer four basic questions:

1. Were proper policies and procedures in place?
2. Were employees properly trained, equipped, and supervised?
3. Were known problems or warning signs addressed?
4. After something went wrong, did leadership investigate it, correct it, and prevent it from happening again?

A useful analogy is a ship: the crew members are responsible for doing their individual jobs, but the captain is accountable for how the ship is run. The captain can’t simply say, “I wasn’t the person who made the mistake,” if the mistake resulted from poor training, inadequate supervision, bad procedures, or problems leadership allowed to continue.

STOP THE CONFUSION! THEY DIDN’T DIE. The person who hanged themselves in the custody of the Pitt County Sheriff’s Department at the hospital, did not die. QUESTION FOR PAULA DANCE:
- Did this person require medical treatment as a result of attempting su***de, while left unrestrained and unsupervised?
- What is your department’s policy regarding leaving mentally ill people unrestrained and unattended in a sheriff’s department vehicle?

Sheriff Paula Dance says, “I BRING RECEIPTS.” SHE BRINGS ONLY EXCUSES! She has refused to accept responsibility for anything during her time as Sheriff. Real leaders lead and they do not make excuses. POLITICAL ATTACKS? Who benefits from a political attack when nobody is running against her in the election? THIS IS ACCOUNTABILITY! Real leaders expect and embrace accountability.

WHY DO COACHES GET FIRED? When bad things continue to happen, how many chances does a leader get before they are finally replaced. *A person can hang themselves and not die*

Yep. You got that right.
