Someone Correct Us if We're Wrong
But wasn't there some sort of prohibition on Officers appearing in campaign commercials, campaign literature or political appearances in uniform so it doesn't seem that the Department endorses any certain candidate?
Could someone explain this then?
That appears to be a Chicago Police Sergeant in full uniform appearing on political literature for Congressweasel Rahm Emanuel. But if there's a prohibition in place, this isn't possible, is it? Of course, it's Rahm, the annointed carpetbagger from the Clinton Administration and one of the mayor's boys, so don't expect any sort of reprecussions should this actually be improper. Two sets of rules, don't you know?

Is she missing her tie?
Rahm likes to send out a lot of these mailings. Check out the fine print at the bottom,
"This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayers expense."
Trivia Question: What is the name of the privilege, that allows members of Congress to send mail without paying for postage?
Hint, it's not the Dan Rostenkowski goes to jail privilege.
SCC,
What would you do for a set of bars? Maybe a double set....
As a police officer, and mother of four, I'm a Sgt trying to make Lt by clout! blah blah blah
Speaking of clout, (2) brand new books hitting the shelves of your local library:
"CHICAGO POLICE An Inside View"
By Terry Hillard
"Unbridled Rage"
By Gene O'Shea
(Focuses on the 3 little boys killed on Oct 1955, the Helen Brach case and the Chicago Horse Syndicate. It begins by saying how the case as derailed by the CPD and how "the CPD was one of the most corrupt in the country; mob-connected cops held key positions throughout the dept). This one is a great read so far. Haven't started the Hillard book.
If she's going to do that shit, couldn't she at least have put on her tie? Wasn't another sergeant given suspension time for making a television commercial for him while in uniform (a relative I think)? Have the rules changed?
how about the tie and hat???!!!
Answer: Franking Privilege !!!!
Named after Massachusettes Senator Barney Franks, who can lick stamps and envelopes like a champ.

Good old Rham, are you aware that he served in the Isaeli Army but refused to served in the U. S. Army. We can only wonder where his loayalties lie.
Andrews is a political hak Cirone is a political hak and so why shouldn't Casey be a poiltical hak

Got this recording to call in concerning a city of chicago matter
(less than one minute study)
1-866-346-8892
Ask Illinois. What the hell is this group?
Its okay he's a Democratic black man (or at least thats how he bills himself) and she's a woman. Only white conservative males need to abide by rules.
Yes, it is the Franking Privilege, but it is named after Benjamin Franklin, the first U.S. Postmaster.
Rahm makes a lot of use of this perk to send what is really campaign literature.
She is as dumb as her tits are big so I think she never had a clue about having her photo plastered around the city
She was a dumb ass in 017 and is every bit as stupid in Area Five thank god she works for a political hak commander
IT is forbidden to campaign or assist in a campaign in any way. I'd guess Rham and the sgt would say it's just a public service message.
Merit Lt Casey cumming soon
Guys, off subject, I know. But can someone please settle a debate I'm having with a friend? What is the proper procedure in arresting someone driving a fresh steal (vehicle) that has not been reported stolen? Owner notified, was not aware car was stolen, willing to sign complaints.
No is NO Sgt. Christine Hitney in the looks department. One snarly looking woman. I hope SCC doesn't start posting her nasty ass on this site like they did with HITNEY. Because no man will be able to get a hardon looking at that sad used up bitch.
Give me Sgt. HITNEY anyday. Keep Sgt. Casey for the bottom of your bird cage.

Patricia A. Casey is now a sgt. in the D???
Did she ever work a West or South Side district? Was she ever a dick?
If not, she's just another shameless political suckhole.
"Sexual predators", my ass! Quid pro quo!
Absolutely no one should hold any rank in the Detective Division unless they served with distinction as an exemplary detective. That rules out Maher also.
Professionalism? Integrity? Excellence? BULLSHIT!

Arrest the offender(s), complete a Vehicle Theft & Recovery case report and seek charges for auto theft.
Not only is the tie missing but her hair is hanging over her back collar. Foul, I call foul.
Hi!
I'm speaking on behalf of our beloved mayor, Senators Dick Durbin and Barack Obama, Gov. Rod Blagojovich, as well as Congressmen Bobby Rush, Jesse Jackson (Jr.), Luis Gutierrez, Danny Davis and my main man Rahm Emanuel.
We are truly blessed to have these noble statesmen as our duly-elected politicians for reform. Like me, their integrity is above reproach.
For an even greater Chicago and Cook County, don't forget to vote for Todd Stroger in November.
Gotta run. Making Kool-Aid for the kids!
Love,
Patty
Just a theory - maybe the tie and hat were left off on purpose - that way she can state she never posed 'in uniform' for the picture? Remember these liberal democrats will take things out of context to explain away their faults.
I just looked her up on I-Clear. Although she has some honorable mentions she has NO DEPARTMENT AWARDS. So her department ribbons worn above her name plate are as fake as the bullshit in the political newsletter she is on.
Typical democrats. Throw a lot of fluff in and lie about the rest. Too funny. I think she can be in more trouble for wearing the fake ribbons than for being on this newsletter.
Wouldn't wearing "fake" awards be some type of departmental violation also????
Not sure if it would. Phil Cline wears a physical fitness award and he never gets in trouble.
Heard the 008 tac tattoo guy has the hots for Sgt Casey. He wants to show her his 4in dick with the barbed wire tattoo on the shaft.
He'll try to tap anything to further his career.
Nawww...Even the good Sgt Casey has class. She would never allow her sagging tits and ass to be handled by a nancy-boy 008 tac guy with a barbed wire tattoo on his dick.
The guy's a total dork. She likes real men. Not little boys who lie and say "I am Marine Recon"...knowing perfectly well he was never in the military.
-025
This just in...
I think she is pushing the envelope, but technically speaking, nothing in the picture says "Chicago Police Department" and her signature just states "Portage Park".
I would think this would piss the powers that be off, more than make her any friends.
"We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming"
Keep voting for democrats boys!
I think she is pushing the envelope, but technically speaking, nothing in the picture says "Chicago Police Department" and her signature just states "Portage Park".
..STARTS OUT "AS A POLICE OFFICER" AND ENDS WITH HER SIGNITURE AS "SGT"...
State Rep Kevin Joyce also uses pictures of chicago police in his campaign flyers. It's ok if your part of the machine. no rules apply.
Fresh Steal:
The only way you will get felony approval of charges is if you can verify knowledge on the part of the offender.
or...you'll face the old, I got the car from a hype to use for $20.00. I did not think it was stolen.
Knowledge is expressed when the offender makes a statement that he / she knew the auto was a stolen auto. It takes time but it's easy if you have patience.
good luck, at least you're trying and not going for the dime bag bullshit.
K.Joyce is a photo pimp.
He'll do anything for a press release. I'm suprised he's not a cheerleared at Gay Games. Good opp there.

Be sure to go far enough down to see another great CPD Sgt. in action.
Let's see....so when GWB does those PhotoOps with all of those uniform officers from throughout the country, all of these guys are probably violating some type of rule?
There are a lot of male & female police officers STILL on the job that have blown their way around the department....lighten up!!
Andrews in A/5 is only in his spot because his mommy and daddy use to give Da Mayor free Greek lemon soup at their restaurant. He has not earned his spot as a Commander in his whopping 13year career, so why should any of his Sergeant’s be any different. I feel sorry for the men and women who work as police officer in the districts that A/5 covers if they ever really need help. Most of the old time dicks are retiring out as fast as they can and the rest of good dicks are bidding out. How long is downtown going to keep their eyes shut, it’s time for Andrews to go back busing tables!
If your connected Irish the rules don't apply to you.
All those A/5 supervisors from queen Dean on down to his lackey Cirone to dumb dumb Downs and now Sgt Casey has added her name to the land of who you know not what you know.
To: 7/20/2006 12:43:48 PM
There is a difference between a photo op and a political endorsement. Have someone explain it to you. They can use your crayons to draw you a picture. Now you can go back to you Bush hating.
SCC should forward this to Clines office
just because a guy is on Nor19 people call him a steroid freak? It's all natural. It's what makes real men out there too. Fuck you pencil necked geeks!
Maybe you should try it, before you knock it? Are you jealous because he's getting more trim than you? He's all natural. I know.

There is no wording "Chicago Police" in the ad. The Star and the Chicago Police Patch are not visible. The department only prohibits use of these items. As long as it doesn't mention she is Chicago Police, she is not in any violation.
HHHMMMM. Look at the Picture again. I see the Star.
once a month a group between 25-40 retired Police officers meet for a breakfast, these officers all work out of the same unit, they are white,Black,Hispanic and other, male and females. The biggest laugh at each and everyone of these breakfast's, are the active Police Officers, who are so judgemental, so self important, and have the audacity to believe that they are the one and only. These old timers worked, when there was no air conditioned cars, no vests, no semi auto weapons allowed. Polictical appointees and clout heavies was the norm. But these guys were able to work with it and work pass it.
All that they had was each other, and the most unique thing about them, they all made it to where some of you will never get...retirement with honor and pride.
re: the picture.....an offering to the esteemed members of and visitors to this blog; this may (or may not) support some discussion.....
from the CPD Rules and Regs:
"prohibited acts include"......
Rule 12 - failure to wear the uniform as prescribed;
Rule 42 - participation in any partisan political campaign or activity (isn't that a hoot?);
from the G.O. on uniforms....
"members will not wear the prescribed star/badge, photo identification card, cap shield/insignia or any identifiable uniform garment while off duty unless authorized by the Superintendent of Police."
Terry Downes was great in Area 4. What the hell are you guys smoking?
Sam Cirone may kiss Andrews' ass from what I hear, but at least he knows what he's talking about. He's been a detective for over 10 years and worked with the best.
Why don't you get over yourselves and appreciate decent Sgt's while you have them.
It could be worse, you could be stuck with some do-nothin, know-nothin dumb-asses.
Calm down Terry..I mean Sam...

Dean it's time to say goodbye!
You can see the Chicago flag and her star, no doubt bout it, she's out of uniform in her dress blues. Sloppy looking to boot what da disgrace to the uniform, guess she was off duty and disrobing as well. Not a pretty picture but it does exemplify what this dept has become. Fort Koolaid did us all a favor and let her present the real new image for all to see. What a bunch of slackers running this dept. Thank you, thank you.
Dean was trained by Farrell, sammy and terry for the most part by Kato, need I say more? these guys know what they are doing and are the guys you want on a police shooting.
Thanks Terry...I mean Sam. Stay off the blog.
Dean is no FARREL......The men love FARREL- he's a prince.
DEAN loves men- Hes a QUEEN...big fucking difference.
Rahm was a ballet dancer and has duel Irsaeli-U.S. citizenship - his uncle was a sgt in 017
The last person I want on my police shooting is a Commander. I want to talk to Detectives real Detectives who are on the same level as me not some political hack on an ego trip playing homicide Detective because Farrell wanted nothing to do with him. Thats right Detective "Know it all Andrews" was a property crimes Dick! He started to work violent after his clout made him a Sgt. Let's keep it real boys! The lesson here is if you shoot someone, don't do it in A/5.
John Farrell remains the best boss on the Deapartment. The guys he mentored including Kato, Bobby Rodrigues,Carlos Velez, and Mark Vail are the first ones to help out an officer involved in a shooting> Kato just retired
Whats up with 015? Im thinking of bidding there to afternoons. Any info?
You should know by now that rules don't apply to the chosen few. Maybe she met good ole Rahm at ballerina school and he let her use his tutu and she's paying him back.
Staying on the topic of the chosen amongst us, a friend of mine from HQ filled me in on this little tidbit. I guess all the little bosses (non-exempts) at 35th Street are going to have their nice shinny cars taken away from them. Starting with the Lt’s their unmarked cars will be given to working police units and they will be given marked cars instead. Get out the crying towels, the chosen few will need them soon. Of course as soon as these nice cars get to the various units you can rest assured the bosses there will glob them for themselves. Anyone else hear anything on this issue?
to 1:53
You can't exclude Mark Hawkins and Bryan Holy. and Area 5 has an incredible team for Police Shootings.
Farrell is a stand up boss. That is why he will not be promoted. Per the higher that be, they don't want a Commander who will make every P.O. involved shooting "JUSTIFIED".
To bad, he was great to work for in A/4.
Along with Vail and his crew.
Don't forget Lt. Walsh , minus the little tipsy nipple pinching in Wisconsin.
Hey, can't a guy have a little fun.
Do what's right, it will all work out in the end.
As far as the Sgt. Casey picture - That is Mathias Casey's daughter?
This place is so fucked up.
Someone has got to write a book about this shit. And not the typical retired P.O. authored book that describes all the heroic actions the auhtor took while on the job. Rather, all the political shit that ruins this job.
How can the higher ups sleep at night knowing they are promoting an incompitent fool to lead the troops. When the shit hits the fan, they will be sorry for the choices they have made.
Ahhhh. what's the point? It gets worse everyday.
It is all about the $$$$$$$$$.
Of course, then it is about the power.
Some of these fools they deserved the promotions/appointments.
Godspeed

Why should I ..... My $35.00 supports single mothers working at the SKYBOX or The Admiral.
Sgt. Pattey Casey is NOT related to Mathias Casey. Repeat. NOT related
Dumb DumD Downs was a property crimes dick in A/4 for doing retail theft upgrades Farrell didn't even know he exsited poster 11:48 is a fuckin moran to even mention Downs in the same paragraph as Farrell. Downs has 7 ys on the job Farrell spent more time in the can then that
GODDAMMIT quit posting the same comments on differnt blogs
Who is that ugly old broad????
Sout-side cop
Nice Dept. Awards, but can she climb a giant 4 foot cyclone fence or handcuff an uppity 12 year old juvenile shoplifter? My bet...NOT !
How can you complain about a boss like Dean Andrews when there are worse out there like the Screaming Skull from A/4?! Quit your crying and transfer out if your not happy!
Hey Godspeed,
You must be a F****ing Detective.
Sgt Patty Casey is not the daughter of Matt Casey, nor is she a relative.
Hey godspeed she is not related to matt casey she is related to mike casy who happens to be a good working copper also her daughter is on the job who is also a worker. Godspeed get your shit together.
Any of you on this board who think just because someone is a copper they should get some form of special treatment if they severely fuck up has got a screw loose. All John Farrell ever did was take care of the crooks and fuck ups on this job because they had a badge. FUCK ALL THE STUPID PATROLMEN ON THIS JOB...THEY DESERVE TO GET FIRED
Andrews pretends to be a detective almost as much as he pretends that he is straight. "The ultimate leader is one who is willing to develop people to the point that they eventually surpass him or her in knowledge and ability."
It use to be that the Detective Division relied on its experience from seasoned Detectives, Sergeants, Lieutenants and Commanders to train the up and coming. When you have a Commander that does not have that experience and consistently overrides the decision of his managers the system beaks down. The Detectives have stopped trying to do more because they are tired of being slapped down by Dean. The Lieutenants and Sergeants have been rendered ineffective because the men they manage know that their decision doesn’t matter and that the decision will always be up to Dean and no one else. The supervisors lack the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Dean for what they believe in fear of losing their precious spot or being dumped to midnights. Dean dumps supervisors and detectives with no expectation and no regard for their work, experience, or the personal hardship it may cause; for some personnel this was too much to bear. Dean makes his management decisions based on personal reasons and how it affects only Dean, regardless what it best for the Division or the police officers they serve.
Andrews is not a leader, he expects people to listen and follow because he wears a gold star and not because he has earned their respect for the position he holds. The difference between a good Commander and Dean is; Dean says, Go! – a true boss says, Let’s go!
Andrews cannot expect to hold the loyalty of his detectives when he speaks to them as if they are insignificant. Andrews its time to look and the mirror and see the person you have become and not the god you think you are!
