What's Going on at HQ?

Information is starting to leak out of Fort Kool-Aid. Our earlier thread from 15 May entitled "Interesting Rumor" seems to be growing legs and the 20% manpower cut isn't just another fiction. A number of full duty people have been shipped out to other units and we hear that details are being canceled. The rumor has expanded to say that more and more light duty and disabled personnel will be moved from Alternate Response to HQ to take over spots vacated by able bodied persons. All we know is when we visit, parking is getting easier.

FACTS people, we need ... well, we can't expect a lot of facts on an anonymous website, but ... we need STORIES people. Stories with a tiny little bit of fact in them. How about that?

That place has a boat load of "I cant work weekends cause eyes gots 5 chillens all wits diffenz daddies" or computers wizzes who promptly left the districts after probation.

How do I know? Cause when i was shipped out 3 of them were shaking in their cubicles thinking they were next.

Heard one of them say "I cant work saturdays cause I take my mom to lunch then grocery shopping. Do you think I'd have to work afternoons?"

Rumor had it that richie told phil to put more blue shirts on the street right now. Feds looking at city hiring practices police dept being next. With the biggest question being asked is What is the definition of merit?

Watch for the exodus of old time exempts coming real close together. Keep an eye on that food chain list

Granted, this post is after my 5th or 6th beer, and I'm still drinking, so my thought process might get worse as this goes on, BUT: Desk Jobs, Jobs at 35th St, and a small number of other various inside jobs are important. In some ways, just as important as a beat car, maybe not as "vital" but important none the less. HOWEVER: why in the fuck is some 5 year and under wonder working at 35th ST? A cop on a disability, some 20+ veterans; FUCK YES! Putting some "computer wiz kid" with 3 years on the job, some "eye candy", or your favorite "cock-sucker" (both M & F) My mommy/daddy is so-n-so. To you: Tough shit, hope you like your uniform, may I suggest some better shoes to walk your beat? Buy a good raincoat & long johns, you might need them! There are WAY TOO MANY in comfortable spots that don’t deserve them! I have absolutely no problem with some PO with a frayed collar, who at the least remembers when guns were a misdemeanor, sitting behind a desk. To the jag-off that’s still shitting food from the academy, GET YOUR ASS OUT ON THE STREET AND DO SOME GOD DAMN WORK! Don’t like it, cant handle it, afraid… well the answer is simple…. QUIT!

You want the truth? Can you handle the truth? .......The IVORY TOWER is getting a MAKE-OVER. A SECRET MEETING WAS HELD IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY concerning this very situation. The BACK ROOM meetings agenda featured all the BIG SHOTS thoughts and comments on how to get PRODUCTIVITY BACK into the CPD. It was actually instituted by OUR OWN BLUESHIRT. It seems that a letter was written to our leader by a street cop who knew several people that were ABLE-BODIED and STREET KNOWLEDGABLE that were HOLED up at 35th due to help from CLOUT because they DID NOT WANT TO WORK THE STREETS ANYMORE. THATS IT. Well, if that is not something in itself, this letter(whether true or not) infuriated our leader because it meant one thing...LAZINESS. And laziness means UNSAFE. It sounds crazy guys and gals, but on that given day, with that given letter, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. A LIGHT, no, A BEACON OF MASSIVE PROPORTIONS WAS LIT. And so it goes. THE FINAL POINT: HQ's will ONLY feature people that REALLY CAN NOT WORK ON THEIR FEET(handicap) or PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE THERE.(management/civilian) and that means REALLY NEED TO BE THEIR. Oh, one other thing...cigarette smokers beware. A PET PEEVE OF OUR LEADERS(again, for whatever reason) equates cigarette smoking with LAZINESS. This was brought up in the meeting as a STRONG POINT. The "RAT" has spoken.

Wishful thinking! LIABILITY is why the call back unit was design. Just one of these injured or sick puppies have a relapse while on "Full Duty Status" guess who is going to pay in spades. Can you just imagine how high the IOD claims are going to go.......IOD claims with the so called working Police has gone up over 150% over the last 2 years, add those who have some mental or physical complaints the department would go bellied up in a year

You know why the hatred for the cigarette smokers at 35th? Cause the dork with glasses flicked a butt at Phil as Phil walked outside and the wind caught the cigarette butt taking it in between the eye glasses of Phil. The dork apoligized but it started a rift with us cigarette smokers. I know cause I was outside smoking on the back of the building. That dork really started some shit.

hey dickbreath
when you make an arrest and go to court, who do you think handles everything behind the scenes?

when you run a name or plate, who's behind that?

what about all the information floating around in space, who is collecting and analyzing that?

what are your ideas on legal issues? did you pass the bar?

Pay attention to the news once in a while. Last week Cook County Sheriff's Police and our IAD did a search warrant that got over 100 fake CPD stars from a Suburban coppers house who was selling them to anyone with the money. I heard he had stars of every rank including retired's, even the Superintendent's which he was selling for $1,000 or something like that. They were perfect replicas with serial numbers on the back. You'd never know the difference between them and a real one. THAT'S SCARY!

Never heard of anyone selling a Lambert Tree before though. That's just sad.

The above is nonsense.

There is no list out. No merit has even been requested. Why would some idiot make up stories on a blog is beyond me. People close on that list are curious as the above poster would be if he was close. But he is an idiot so he will never have to worry about being promoted.

FOP stated that a merit nomination should be out in the next few weeks with an approximate class of 75 being promoted in the fall off the current list. That would be the final promotion off the list taking the total up to approximately 375, making it the least promoted list in several tests (last test went to 514 on the number).

Good luck to those that are close.

Sounds plausible but I know a boss who recently told me that Phil doesn't read his mail. Has some Sgt's maybe even a Lt to do that for him. They read it and send answers or forward to proper place. But who knows maybe once Phil felt like checking things out? Well I'll go back to sitting here daydreaming about all the strokes I know down there going back on the street. Let's start with a certain little balding dickless Irish Sgt in Personnel as 1520 or 1120 on midnights. What a wonderful world that would be.

...There are several MISTAKES noted, -such as the outdated use of the "Weapons Discharge Report" that is supposed to be included on our reading list...

Check the teletypes. One came out recently correcting that there would be no weapon discharge report on the exam, although there may be a weapon discharge incident.

WHAT A FUCKING STROKE!!!!!
Did you become the police to investigate crimes and lock people up or to be some bullshit secretary? My 12 year old nephew can look up shit on the computer like you do you house mouse, scared of the dark fucking pussy. Don't try to bullshit us that your job is so important. BE THE POLICE, OR QUIT AND BE A SECRETARY BITCH FOR SOME COMPANY. The only people that should be working inside are those with at least 15 years. WAY TOO MANY PIECE OF SHIT FEMALES WITH 2 YEARS WORKING INSIDE BULLSHIT JOBS... AT HEADQUARTERS AND ALMOST EVERY DISTRICT... I propose a "street-time bonus" for the next contract! Let the union fight for this... Give a bonus of $3000 / year or maor to all officers that work the street 80% of the year. Don't ask for a raise next contract but instead this bonus. Maybe even more that $3000. Bottom line... reward those that work the street and do what "Police Officers" are suppose to do. The City would love it..They would only have to give a raise to 75% of the department and save millions. I hope the FOP reads this.

I agree with above poster!
DUTY AVAILABILITY SHOULD ONLY BE FOR WORKING POLICE IN CARS. OR A BONUS FOR COPS IN CARS!
Desk jockeys get the better hours and days off. No duty availabilty.
If you want an inside job then enjoy it and give the real benefits to the Working car officers.
I love the idea of a new track your stats deal.
Look I do my job others don't!!!
AND I GET TO LOOK FOR BAD GUYS!
In April stats came out and our car 3 guys all ex-tact had over a hundred more responses to jobs and a faster clearance time than anyone else on the watch. We are here for 8 hours, just go do it. the night goes faster responding to everything than sitting on your asses! besides the fact that we have no phone calls so every new call is a scenario to throw around about what the SGT is responsible for.
FUCKIN DOGS!!! COWARDS!!!

I got more time working special than some of you assholes talking about my empty holster.Tell me have you looked around your dist or unit lately, tell me how many empy holsters are working there. I got tried of listing to the bullshit. Look at how many dollies are working on the inside, listen to complain how I can't work this car or I can only work this side of the district. I need an early car because of my kids. I have to work the 2nd watch and need weekends off because of my kids. People with less than 5 years on the job telling me what I have to do. How many 20% work inside? Hey dickhead before you call me an empty holster,have you ever seem a police officer kill and known them and taked to them right before they were killed, well I have, have you ever been shot at well I have, I stood the honor guard for my fallen brother. I have done my share, what the fuck have you done but think your the only one who has ever worked the street. Get some time on and come see me when you know it all you pieces of shit

Speaking of details, what about the bullshit "dead heroin junkie" detail at Homan Square where they fucked a bunch of detectives and just detailed them there without asking for volunteers. Just what we need, detectives there that could be out on the street investigating real crimes. I guess the bosses both in the Areas and Downtown would rather kiss asses and keep their bullshit positions instead of clearing aggravated batteries and homicides. I guess that's why we're called the Windy City....because of all the "Blowing" that goes on here.

Actually I remember it was going to be called shift differential. It was going to be for 1st and 3rd watches. But then the FOP realized all the daytime dollies and Mon thru Fir straight days weekends off would be left out so the FOP changed it. I believe our great FOP got it made into duty availability The rest is history.
