If you are ever wondering how to quit your job and trash almost anyone and everyone you ever worked with, this is your guide to perfection.

The interview with Tarr is essentially his personal review of what transpired with the announced theft from a police storage shed, a Sherriff's Office investigation of the Ocean Pines Police Department, the suspension with pay and subsequent retirement of then Chief Leo Ehrisman, and a decimated police force said to be down 11 officers when 17 are authorized, according to the podcast. Quite the media scoop.

Tarr reveals he was also suspended for eight weeks. In addition, he reveals the "rest of the story," involving Tarr and another officer taking possession of an Assault Rifle, a shotgun, and some 400 rounds of shotgun shells from someone having an association of some sort with Chief Ehrisman. Tarr says Ehrisman instructed him to pick up the guns and ammunition as the owner wanted them out of the home.

Apparently, Tarr never entered the firearms and ammunition into a possession report for the department. He talks about using the shotgun and 400 shells on the range for training but it seems he was in possession. Co-interviewer Amy Peck suggests Tarr was "saving OPA money."

Throughout the 35-minute podcast, Tarr trashes everyone, including the OPA Board of Directors, General Manager John Viola, most of his fellow police officers, officers in the Worcester County Sherriff's Office, OPA's human resources director, etc. No one is spared except former Chief Ehrisman whom Tarr praises.

At one point, Tarr says: "I heard the board director Rick Farr is texting people and posting on social media that Leo (Ehrisman) is going to be arrested."

At another point, Tarr states that Ehrisman "received a letter from Ocean Pines‘s attorney on June 5 stating that they don’t care what the results of the investigation were. They want Leo’s resignation, or they will fire him. They say there are multiple charges of misconduct, which I don’t believe."

Near the end, asked if all this trashing of people in law enforcement and at OPA may impact his position as an Ocean Pines police officer, Tarr says it will not, and then adds, "This is my last day." The podcast was uploaded to the internet on September 9 but not made visible until today.

Incredibly at the end of the podcast, Sherrie Clifford, who along with Amy Peck does the interview, says, "Sergeant Chris we sure do appreciate your dedication and service to our community. We definitely need more police officers like yourself and Chief Leo."

In other words, Clifford took every word uttered by this obviously disgruntled employee as gospel. One does not need to be clairvoyant to see that Clifford and Peck were enjoying the claims made by Tarr.

Whether Tarr's account is entirely factual or accurate is unknown. One can only wonder if Tarr has been employed by another police force.

Sadly, this is the sort of thing that makes good people have concerns about law enforcement.

Integrity and doing what is best for the community are hallmarks of officers, or should be.
