Swipe In, Swipe Out?
Someone starting rumors again. Any basis in reality? Who knows, but it gives us some fodder to work with.
The rumor says that starting in January 2008, not only will you swipe into work, you will be required to swipe out. This should prove entertaining on a number of levels. No more calling in late? No more late lunch? No more early duck on reverse sting days?
Which units will be swiping (Districts) and which ones won't (NAGIS, Gang Intel, Vice, etc.)? Which officers will be punished (beat guys and gals) and which won't (CAPS, house mice, etc.) when they fail to swipe in and out?
This has disaster written all over it and will only further fracture morale as certain clout positions, officers and units get a pass from what everyone else is going to get hammered for.

I haven't swiped in for several months, you can take that damn red machine and shove it up your ass.
005th District - 3rd Watch
LoL!! Try that at the academy!! Thats is where is should start. Who ever works 8 hrs a day there. Hey FOP now come on This is BS if this goes in to affect then do we still have to work 6 days in a row. NOBODY is going to take this job. Next is the rumor that after 2010 no more pension for cpd just 401K. It is coming folks. The city wants a high turn over. Then more hiring less beefs less benefits and saves money. Wake UP!!
duh, who didnt see this coming? swiping in and swiping out! and they will place a camera above the machine to avoid any scams! guaranteed. think about how much money the city will save. when your a hour late, when you have to leave early, no more 5 hour work days for tac teams,watch comm., caps, house mouses! i love it!
I work in a district, and cannot wait until we have to swipe out. If I get off at 2330, I will have a drinker in custody at 2329 five days a week. Figuring I will get an hour and a half on the books for processing and waiting on lockup and re-ordering my fantasy football roster, which adds up to 7.5 hours overtime per week, which has to be approved cause I'm not swiping out till im done. That pretty much lets me take of day 6 every week! Sweet!
Fair is fair will daleys and burkes huge deatil also swipe in and out? Or will they continue to get all the unlimited overtime? city must have millions to pay these D-3 clout clowns! Nice to be valets for thieves!
The answer is simple... DON'T SWIPE!
What are they going to do if we don't? Send everyone home? Not pay us?
Get real.
DON'T SWIPE!!!!!!!!
they can have me for 14 hours straight i still wont do shit.
Can't happen. Not only will the Cronos machines not work, but the city would be required by law to pay you if you swiped out late....
Several house cats mentioned this
at the retirement seminar on 24 Oct 07. swipe in and out with card also bids out for the hand scan fingerprint scanners.
This is what was stated unknown if true or not, tested at streets and san.
CFD Fire prevention bureau being punching in and out for last year according to a p/o wife of fire prevention guy.
Street and san punches in with card and fingerprint scanner.
In and out thats fine. Get ready for OT to go up 20000%. I've been fucked so many times on Tact, my asshole can fit a semi. Bring it. I need the money!!
i havent swiped since that shit began and I laugh at the people that do. still get paid.
Don't forget about court!
This also means that if you swipe out late that you are entitled to OT!
Oh, no! What are those guys with the side jobs gonna do? Will the hold me down in the station on reports still work so they can sneak out?
I haven't swiped 10 times since this bullshit started. I'm not about to start. The city puts in a camera. I will be locking somebody up every day right at quitting time. Here comes the OT!!!!
I havent swiped in for months and months. Fuck them. No copper should be swiping in. What are they going to do? If beat cars have to swipe in and out than everyone has to, or I will file a lawsuit myself for unfair labor practice.
I have not swiped in since July.
Off topic a bit: Why the hell are they making me take a piss test every week? I have no disciplinary history and no enemies that I know of. You could call me "lily white." So has anyone ever heard of the "random" drug test being used as some type of reprisal?
yes a drinker @ 2359 & with all the inventories its cha ching daddy gets a new pair of shoes. take your time do it right.
We have been hearing about swiping in and out for well over a year now. I personally havent swiped in over 6 months and am still getting paid. I will beleive it when I see it!
streets and san swipe in and out
hey hair gel police you need approval to work ot you worry about us tact duckin early we don't but now we'll all be working 8.5 hrs a day
Sounds like an easy way to make OVERTIME!
If you can prove that you were at work when you swipe out, then the City has to pay you! If not, they violate Federal Labor Laws! HA! HA!
So go ahead and make us swipe out! I'll make sure I can get late traffic stops with TVB's and late arrests without Watch Commanders approval and build up O.T.! If it's on the clock then they have to pay!
Be careful what you wish for! I can't wait to swipe out two hours everyday when I'm supposed to!
Chang, Ching!
Damn...right off probation into tac and now were gonna have to swipe out. Guess I'm going back to the watch. I'll miss the 4 hour days.

Save money? How will the city save if they have to pay overtime to the hard working officers on late arrests?
SWIPE OUT!
Sweet!
I'm gonna build my time due and overtime pay!
I dare any "stupervisor" to order me to NOT arrest or ticket anyone prior to check off!
How would that fly at City hall or better yet at the News Media when it gets out that P.O.'s will be ordered to do nothing for let's say a half an hour before check off just to make sure the P.O.'s check off on time and the City does NOT pay any overtime!
I won't have to work CHA and CTA anymore!
Just stay late after the watch with sand bag arrests or traffic stops, for an hour a day!
I can get at least a day a week in overtime just on a late sandbag arrests!
If, say for example, at least half of the Police Officers on this Dept. stayed an hour a day due to a late legit arrest or traffic stop {TVB} on the westside. Which is real easy to do every day on the Westside, by the way.
That would roughly be 5,000 hrs a day man hours in Overtime pay the City must shell out!
At an average rate, at time and a half of $55.00 dollars an Overtime hour!
That's about $275,000.00 a day in Overtime pay.
Every day overtime for just an hour over the watch for every P.O. for the year: $100,375,000.00 for the year in overtime expenses that must be paid because it will be electronically recorded and discoverable in a Federal lawsuit! HHMM!
The city will be selling another bridge real soon!
I like this idea! HA! HA!
late arrests late arrests late arrests, no tickets no tickets no tickets. we the police not meter maids.
I'm with a few others on here. Haven't swiped in months and no negative affects.
I too will be getting late arrests EVERY DAY if this has any truth to it.
They started that over a yr ago and some clowns still do it. I swiped in one time, my ID card never fucking works. Thats not my fault, so i figure fuck them. I show up on time and leave when im supposed to. I havent swiped in since and my check is still there twice a month. If they dont like it they can suspend me, I could use a day off
We can control this just fine. EVERYONE gets a late arrest or late bs tvb and maybe it takes an hr or 2 to do it. SWIPE out an hr late everyday and Im willing to bet the city does away with that real quick. think they are going to pay ot?
VERY TRUE< DONT SWIPE> Make them send us all home or give us a day, how they going to do that? Dumbasses at city hall
Snitches, snitches, snitches.
Where have all the real policemen gone?
This will only be valid IF everyone is required to swipe in and out,somehow I don't think that will be the case.However, if it is implemented I can see the benefit of actually being paid for the overtime I work.I don't always drop a slip when I'm going over by 15 min. to a half hour but if we have to do this I sure will.My main concern will be watch commanders refuseing to sign the slip like they sometimes do.Maybe we wont have to get a signature,it will be automatic because of the swipe machine,nahh what was I thinking.
i never swiped in.....(shit i hope i still work here????)
Where is it writen you only have to work 7 Hrs. you get paid for 8, do your job.Funny everyone is bitchin about this job, I still don't see a whole lot of people leavin. You think the private sector would put up with your B.S.
more than half the fucking swipe machines don't accept my i.d. car when others do. i can't explain it. swiping in and out is bullshit. just another stupid department rumor.
lot of late arrests and a lot of o.t. if it ever comes to pass. show me the money
And the next thing that is on the table is TUTITION REIMBURSMENT. The City is going to take it away from us so, hurry and finish to college degrees.
you know the beat guys will be the first.
expect a clause in the new order that exempts bosses and there staff.
They do have to swipe at the academy, but it's not in and out, its once a day. If they don't swipe they have to fill out a form and tell their SGT why they forgot to swipe in. All this shows was that they were at sometime that day in the bulding, but you can just show up swipe in and then go leave and go practice your slapshots.
Not gonna happen at TARA or other units funded by the Fed, why shot yourself in the foot. The feds are paying the salaries for those POs so if you show that TARA guys only work a 3 day week now the Inspector General Office is gonna want the Fed to be reimbursed. Maybe they should hold the supervisors more accountable, oh yeah the city is charging the Feds for a Director of TARA but she has her office at the Academy.
11th,14th,18th and 19 Ward guys, if it wasn't for your chinaman youse guys would have been working a punch press somewhere and would have been punching in for years.
SO relax stop whinning just do the job you were hired for.
I.
Me.
You owe me,.
I'm entitled.
Me this.
Me that.
Shut-up already!!!!!
Cry, Cry, Cry!!!
That’s all you whiners do. Not one of you lazy do-nothings are gonna work over time if you have to swipe. If you make a late arrest tonight you get paid time and ½. Swiping has nothing to do with O.T. You need a Supervisor to approve it or you don't get it. Period...
I wish all of you losers would shut up and do your job.
I've heard that swipe in/out is coming soon to all the districts, combined with the fingerprint "handscan" machines, similar to the ones they have at Homan Square. No one can say they are surprised by this. One can only guess how long it will take some enterprising souls to circumvent the process (by purposely wrecking the machines?).
I would guess the city would place a camera at the palmprint in/out swipe in/out location, so that the equipment remains in working order.
"I'm gonna make a late arrest every day, and get paid." Riiiight. You bitch and whine when your assigned jobs take you into overtime. Messages over the PDT to the Sarge: "Can you assign this to someone else? I've got a PT job I need to get to right after checkoff." You bitches aren't going to do a damn thing, other than what the Mayor and Supt. TELL you to do. And yes, it would stand to reason that if the Chronos shows you DIDN'T work that day, your check could very well COME UP SHORT, and would have to be rectified at a later time. And one could reasonably guess that should someone "forget" to swipe in on several occasions, the City would "forget" you worked those days, and would put that forgetful officer through a whole bunch of changes before their pay could be rectified. Can your mortgage company let you skate on this month's payment WITHOUT INITIATING FORECLOSURE? You guys crack me up! Shuddup and do your fucking job, as lazy as you are, as half-assed as some of you perform your routine armed secretarial tasks... and quit whining...or go find a REAL job.
I haven't swiped in for several months, you can take that damn red machine and shove it up your ass.

You are on to something here. In Police parlance it will now be referred to "as swiping one's ass"..or as "wiping in and out!"
(laughter)
Thank you..Thank-you very much. You're a good crowd!
Please feel free to SWIPE my big fat a** and shove a jar of hair gel up there while you're at it. Im glad Im outta here soon. Don't forget to get a silly ass event number for swiping while you're at it.

Your either drunk or delusional. This is CPD pilgrim, everyone for themselves.
Does this mean I will get paid for 8 1/2 hours every day? That's what my time in-time out on the swipe machine will say. Or do I drive into the station to swipe out for lunch? Good, then it will take me a half hour just to get back to the station,[got to obey those traffic laws and speed limits] and a half hour to get back to my beat, plus my half hour for lunch. That equals 1.5 hrs. of down time. reat, I'll do it, no problem, then make an arrest at the end of my shift. That's even more money the city will have to pay me for doing less.

They keep track of time at academy. You must swipe in and work 8 hours a day. Frequently, instructors work overtime without pay preparing for a class. No such thing as overtime at academy. Hard to teach 8 hours a day. Home room instructors start at 0700 and end day at 1600 hrs. No breaks for instructors.
YES!!!
Happened to me about 7 years ago - I was "radomly" selected to go three weeks in a row after I pissed off the D/C.
Use it to your advantage - go to Taylor Street to eat on the way back.
at least I won't have to have the mean watch commander sign my OT slips anymore..

I have one thing to say to that-our mortgage compay let us skip out on one month's mortgage. Here is the best part-it was THEIR idea. We got a letter in the mail saying that they would at it to the end of our loan for a 50 dolar fee. They are not threatening foreclosure, we have a perfect record with them. It was just a nice way for them to asy thank you for your business. Thanks from a bank but no thanks for people who put their lives in the line. By the way, the bank is TCF bank. They have programs for just police officers.

---------------------------------
Did you piss someone off and not know who that individual was? I once got a CR # from a reverand, went to IAD to give a statement. Was taking a piss test once a week for abouth a month after it was all said and done. The joke's on them...I have nothing to hide.
if the so called "random" piss test/wizz quiz is indeed rigged and not random, then the results also can be rigged. Time for the Feds to investigate this balony also. There is no need to have someone take a urinalysis if work performance is stable. It is really a violation of one's rights, if it was not a condition of employment when you started the job. Plus, if you are called to test several times in a short period of time, the odds of this happening are astronomical, quite like being struck repeatedly by lightning in a short period of time. Another abuse of power that should be checked and monitored by the Feds. Oh well, just more corruption as usual.
tact teams on detail will have to leave the detail at least an hour early in order to get back to swipe out. Cha-Ching!
bring on those swipers, I smell MONEY!

Turn off the caps. I am not crying. I enjoy working with recruits. Challenging work but interesting. Not concern with overtime but doing a good job with recruits. Yes, instructors know the job at academy and consider the position a opportunity. I look forward to wrok every day. Apply if you are looking for a challenge. Otherwise answer your calls every day.

try and work ot without a supervisors approval
why don't you hair gelpolice quit

Were not going to have to swipe in and out in TARA when it comes around. When you are asked to be in an elite unit because the bosses see you are the real police then maybe the perks can be extended to you. parker...Mover...Bus Check... Sure...If you like being a crossing gurad. But if you want to be the real police then get up off your ass and do something.

Tara is a sweat deal. No accountability, no supervision, definitely not 8 hour shifts. If the feds or any inspector checks on your class, they would be shocked. No classes means nothing to do for 3 days. No details or teaching in academy. Shop, long lunches, exercise and leave early. No one at acdemy cares about Tara unit.
IF YOU SWIPE OUT LATE YOU HAVE TO GET PAID OT.
MUST BE ALOT OF BOYS THAT NEVER HAD A REAL JOB.
ALL THEY DO IS READJUST IT TO THE TIME YOU WERE DISMISSED. BECAUSE AT THE EXACT MINUTE YOU HAVE TO SWIPE OUT A LONG LINE OF OFFICERS WILL BE WAITING.
" I enjoy working with recruits. Challenging work but interesting. Not concern with overtime but doing a good job with recruits"
Well Don't know how long you been @ the Academy, but I wouldn't be patting myself on the back, the crop that has been coming out of there the last 6-8 years has been HORRIBLE! I know I 'm not alone in this observation. For starters, How about teaching them to lose the chip, close their mouths& open their ears. they might learn something NOT TAUGHT IN THE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT @ 1300 W. JACKSON!!
I keep hearing about that 008 dist. CAPS office,I don't like CAPS but with what I'm hearing I would love Caps if you get me drift.
TARA - I had to sit my ass through 8 hours of that shit a day.
None of you fools even know a thing about TARA. If you did, you would know it is 5 days of training, not 3 as you so ignorantly keep exuding. Foolish children. And yes, it is a sweat deal.
