I've never seen so many contradictory statements come from one person in such a short time on the same incident....
Communication breakdown
"Rivero said that Clausen 'has publicly criticized the Sheriff's Narcotics Task Force for failing to notify his agency.' Rivero said, 'I was taken aback by Chief Clausen's allegations when I heard them from the media, because he had not called me or anyone on my staff.'
Rivero said he attempted to contact Clausen Monday by calling his office, but was told he (Clausen) was not in.
Rivero said he also left a message for Clausen with CPD dispatch, but had not received a return call as of press time.
'I would like to meet with Chief Clausen and resolve this matter immediately, I am willing to discuss establishing protocols and guidelines to avoid any future unexpected encounters with CPD officers and Sheriff's detectives, but I must retain the ability to conduct narcotics investigations in Lake County, including Clearlake and I will maintain a strong anti-narcotics program,' Rivero said.
Rivero said he previously offered to contribute $40,000 of CalMET grant money toward having a CPD officer on the narcotics task force, which, Rivero said, 'might alleviate Clausen's concerns.'
To date, Rivero said Clausen has declined the offer, which Rivero said, 'is still on the table.' "
Change your story much sir???
