Matthew Fogg vs. Janet Reno 94 2824  TPJ

 

On April 28, 1998, a Federal Jury in Washington, DC awarded Fogg a Landmark Four Million Dollars in compensatory damages for Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Title VII violations of race discrimination he suffered in the workplace. This verdict is the largest individual award in the history of Title VII for a Federal employee. *Thomas Penfield Jackson, the presiding judge is nationally known as the presiding judge in the famed, “Microsoft Anti-Trust lawsuit ”.

Today Fogg still continues to rise above the negative impact of his circumstances, as his litigation remains open. His federal court victory along with his Equal Employment Opportunity certification and assignments to conduct collateral duty counseling and investigations in the USMS has given him the courage and skills to attack institutionalized racism and “Blow the whistle behind the Blue Wall of Silence.” Fogg is now the Chief Role Model for other law officers who want to come forward and are afraid of the internal retribution but, seek justice and equality behind a badge.

 

Chief Deputy Fogg has been a guest speaker and performed workshops to large and diversified audiences across America on Civil Rights issues involving law enforcement.  He is a member of Blacks In Government's (BIG) Legislative Task Force, NAACP Federal Sector Task Force, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) Civil Rights Committee,  a member of the Senior Leadership Committee (SLC) task force and “Stakeholder” for Vice President Al Gore's National Partnership for Reinventing Government in conjunction with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

 

In June of 1998, he was interviewed on Cable Network News (CNN) to offer expertise in law enforcement tactical operations labeled by CNN as the largest police manhunt in American history after three Cop Killer suspects escaped arrest and disappeared into the tri-state mountains of Idaho, Utah and New Mexico.

 

Fogg has testified before the United States Congress on several occasions to include the national topics of Police Brutality, racism in law enforcement. On May 18th, 2000 Fogg testified before Congress on behalf of the National Commission to Reform Americas Drug Policy and criminal penalties. Fogg has addressed distinguished audiences at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. and many other high profile engagements.

 

On April 22, 2000 Fogg was again summoned as an expert witness on CNN television to discuss the federal agents tactical operations in the Elian Gonzalez seizure in Miami Florida.

 

The following, May 3rd he was featured on Black Entertainment Network (BET) with host Tavis Smiley. The topic of discussion was racism inside the U.S. Marshals and U.S. Customs service and how law officers are treated by their colleagues after “Blowing the Whistle” on crimes behind a badge and the effect on citizens by racist law officers.  

 

Today Fogg is continuously called upon to expose the bright and dark side of law enforcement. He is the Executive Director of CARCLE, an organization he formed to combat police corruption and misconduct in the line of duty. He is a spiritually centered man with a twofold mission. To boldly speak-up for the good deeds of courageous GOD ordained law officers and cry loud and spare not against racism, corruption and brutality which seeks to hide itself under the color of law and a badge of justice. Fogg recently co-authored a major comprehensive policing plan for the City of Baltimore Maryland title, “The Peoples Plan”. This plan addresses specific concerns by the citizens in several Town Hall meetings and surveys involving law enforcement procedures to reduce crime on both sides of a badge of justice. Finally, Chief Deputy Fogg has adopted two important credos:

 

.....”The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.” - Albert Einstein 

 

.....”Give the people the facts and they will make the right choices.” - Abraham Lincoln
