Former President Janet Swain Joakim of Centerville has strongarmed voters and constituents by hiring an incompetent and inept Chief of Police. Lieutenant Paul MacDonald, formerly from her own backyard, was promoted to Chief from inside the Barnstable Police Department. Town Manager John Klimm challenged the rules and stipulations on the Civil Service Protocol. MacDonald immediately moved up the professional and social ladder by buying an expansive home off Lake Wequaquet.
Garnering favors for the police department via her relative, Demetrius Atsalis, Joakim not only leans on the police for favors, but has covered up substantial impropriety. Threats and intimidation have become the hallmark of the Joakim era. Not only has she obstructed justice in the investigation of Housing Assistance Corporation, she promoted a detective that threatened to "rape" a subject under investigation to secure job promotion and stature in the Barnstable Police Department. The items have been saved to tape. Joakim's hand sees no limit to nepotism. The sky is the limit on narcissism.
Janet Joakim commanded the Barnstable Police to remove the subject under investigation and confirmed material witness in an ongoing corruption scandal without due cause. The Office of the Barnstable Town Attorney has offered settlements in regard to two separate incidents involving the Barnstable Police under Joakim's command.

Dear Chief MacDonald,
You may want to review the enclosed correspondence and materials enclosed that were forwarded to the Office of the Barnstable Town Attorney this morning. You may be aware that President Janet S. Joakim is threatening to post sensitive materials that may include court documents compromising to member of the Barnstable Police Department including, Valerie Hemmila. Although there is some suggestion that she is considering such and threatening to do so publicly, much of what President Joakim intends to do is being interpreted and reported from people with whom she has confided.
Please consider and discuss what you want to do about this with Ruth Weil, Esq. and President Janet S. Joakim. As you may know there is an ongoing federal investigation into the actions of a number of public officials and under most circumstances, I have been asked to refrain from contact with the local police department for a number of reasons. Once again, Joakim’s actions, as with yours not only constitute impropriety but may also indicate and be evidence of gross illegality.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mary Clements
Hey, who's attacking who folks? Not only were the First Amendment Rights of this speaker denied, Joakim deliberately demands Detective Valerie Hemmila to remove the speaker along with newly elected Chief Paul MacDonald. The incident involving this speaker and Detective Hemmila includes an attempt to "cut off the victim's hair and rape the defendant" to secure a job promotion and professional advancement. The incident is under investigation. Detective David Cameron was immediately demoted, and a settlement was offered to the victim from Bob Smith, Esq. Attorney for the Town of Barnstable at the time and on his tenure.
