Inspectors
We're getting all sorts of stories, via comments and via e-mail that the Inspectors are out trying to justify their existence again, writing up dozens, sometimes many dozens of violations in a single sitting. We received word from a few people about thirty (yes, 30) violations written up in a single roll call.
A few examples we've heard quoted here, in e-mails and in bars (we swear, we were only drinking seltzer water):
A few examples we've heard quoted here, in e-mails and in bars (we swear, we were only drinking seltzer water):
- A certain Inspector who sits at 26th Street and logs the time a Squadrol leaves after dropping of prisoners for the AM court call. When the wagon doesn't come up clear immediately, he writes them up. It doesn't matter if the wagon is heading back to 016 or 006 - both about a 45 minutes ride away. He writes them up as if they could have responded to an emergency job in seconds rather than being on the other side of the world.
- Another Inspector who follows Canine Officers around and writes them up for leaving their cars running and unattended as a violation of state law. Never mentioned is the fact that leaving the car running with heat or A/C is necessary for the dog not to suffer or die. Or the fact that all Canine vehicles are equipped with the same safety devices used by State Troopers to leave their cars running on the sides of the highway.
- Yet another who rolls on 10-1 calls and writes up anyone he can find not wearing a hat - as if a hat would help anyone in an emergency situation. Decorum falls by the wayside when someone is fighting.
We're sure there are hundreds more stories. Inspector is one of the first positions J-Fed ought to look into cutting. Sergeants, Lieutenants and Captains ought to be held accountable by their respective Commanders for the appearance standards of their watches. And they ought to lead by example...but that might be too much to ask.

They are now coming down on any PO's asking for travel time to lunch.
So if you work in a ghetto area with no place to eat, and ask to go out of district, you better be able to do it in 30 mins....
Or just learn to like flaming hots and blue pop.
Broken Windows theory applied to roll calls. Start with the little things and before long, the major scandals go away. Will it work? Probably not, but you have to admit that many of our coworkers look like absolute SHIT! That includes white shirts! Would it kill some of you smelly M-Fer's to wash your uniform once a period? Forget shoe sines, I've seen guys show up in flip flops!!!!
The easiest part of our day should be dressing yourself according to the rules. Hell, even the guys at McDonald's have clean uniforms or they get sent home!!! Why should someone making $60k+ of tax payers money be exempt?
No funk, no food stains, and buy a shirt that fits before one of those buttons pops off and kills a fellow officer like a bullet!!!
Inspectors serve a useful purpose, but it seems a shitload of them lost their common sense when they put that gold star on.
Inspector Maratto is prime example of a good inspector. Unfortunately, I can't think of any others.
don't even get me started on this one............. fucking people are shooting at each other and us, and were worried about where we carry a flashlight..
The 30 violations at one roll call was at TRU.
All 30 were the same violations.
The use of more than 1oz of hair gel while on duty.
There are groups and forces in our society which are trying to turn being a Police Officer from a calling into a career and there are Officers out there which treat this as a mere job. A lot can be said about this transition, but in the end; very few people would risk their lives for their career and nobody risks losing their house for a job. A society gets the Police it deserves.
I have trouble understanding why any Police officer makes arrests.
just more petty and chickenshit violations, written up by insecure and immature people, in an attempt to satisfy and impress the incoming adminstration....confirming their insecurity, obsessive reliance on rules and regulations, trying to keep their positions, and compelling obedience to whomever is at the top....CW is presently trying to impress, issuing orders to try and show JW that "he" is "the man"....
Great game Greenbay! Does that mean that sgt. Ebay will sell the packers jacket? (or will he return it to the rightful owner)
If an inspector responds to a 10-1 and does not exit his/her vehicle get a CR on them. They are still the Police and are required by law to act as such. If they respond on any in progress call, they can NOT sit down the block to time you and take no action. We had this problem with Manley, many, many years ago and after a few CR's he went away.
inspector is a clout/hack position pure and simple.
ELIMINATE THEM !
Why don't you post the names and addresses of the inspectors? We wouldn't know if it was them when they call 911, so it may as well be posted to prevent anyone from getting gigged (amongst other things) when they call.
Or just learn to like flaming hots and blue pop.

Learn to like? Speak for yourself, i love them. Theres nothing better than a bag of flaming cheetos washed down with blue pop! It's an acquired taste, for sure, but afficinados everywhere find this to be a true feast for our discriminating pallets
I'm staggered that there are actually people employed to do this sort of thing over there! When oh when will "they" just leave us alone to do our jobs. Things aren't quite as bad here yet but I'm not holding my breath. . .
Just bag it.
Then you know what you're eating.
again .... why are we working? -- answer your calls nothing else
My money says that Terry "Big Bird" McMahon ? is the only inspector doing the writing up of guys. This goof has no common sense and makes poor decisions whatever he does. As for the others, they seem to be fair about what they do.
We must be talking about Fat A$$ "Big Bird" Mcman.. The reason he sits inhis car and writes you up is because, he is too fat from sitting behind the desk in 009 all those years eating big macs! He was a twit when he sat in 009 and is even a bigger twit now!
TO clouso
I worked in 015 in the mid/late
80s. That was during the "drug ring" era sponsered by the stupidintendent, d/c, tact lt, and head of iad.
Ya had no place to park,no showers,
and it was call after call from start to finish for unclouted patrolscum. But THEY all knew it, so at least u got travel time for lunch. They'd let us go way into Oak Park or to North Ave to the infamous 025(curtaintown).
So ya dont even have that anymore in the ghetto? Boy, these "toe the line" reformists/bosses can go f*k
themselves!
Squadrols have been notorious in most, if not all of the Districts for taking way too much time to make transports, especially those out of their assigned areas. I don't have a problem with Inspectors monitoring when they arrive and leave a particular location. Those squadrols are needed in their districts, by the patrolmen who handle a majority of the calls. Wagons show up as backup, and anyone who's been around for a little while knows that it's worse than taking a carcass from a lion to get the wagon crews to get out of the car and walk over to where they are needed. Blast the Inspectors if you want, but the District supervisors can't watch or supervise their people who are out of the District, and that's where the Inspectors can come in handy.
If most of us were doing the job as it was laid out for us when we got hired, this wouldn't even be an issue.
Several years ago I remember an inspector trying to write up several officers leaving a 10-1. The officers did not have their hats on. The inspector got his in the end. The Field Lt got a CR number on the inspector for not responding to an officer in need.
The idiot inspector put in his write up that he saw the officers leave their vehicles without their hats on. The Lt in his CR put that if the inspector saw the officers leave their cars he should have as well to help an officer or at a minimum supervise the incident.
I don't believe for 1 second that an inspector would be that dumb again. I know of another incident that happened in 007 very similar to my incident where the officers told him to shove it and several officers got a CR on the inspector. 10-1 = help, this is the only occassion where inspectors might have to let a rule slide. Officer safety is still 1 at the end of the day.
For those who you hear always asking for travel time for lunch, why must they have to go several miles out of their district to eat? What about a bag lunch? I've even heard them ask for travel time to a place in their own district. I've even heard them go all the way across another district for lunch,015 eating at Harlem and Lawrence?
I have yet to see a damn inspector wearing a hat!! Fuck em and their high horse! And a personal "FUCK YOU" to Big Bird!!
If an inspector shows up to a 10-1 and does nothing to help the officers, not only should a CR be initiated but an off duty parking lot ass kicking should be handed out.
I am sure the inspectors got their orders to do that...
The Wagon issue, they are required to notify the zone of a change in location, when they leave 26th st. they should let the zone know they are leaving, that is not the same as coming clear, but it is, regardless of its usefulness, a requirement... for anyone changing locations.
A certain Inspector who sits at 26th Street and logs the time a Squadrol leaves after dropping of prisoners for the AM court call. When the wagon doesn't come up clear immediately, he writes them up. It doesn't matter if the wagon is heading back to 016 or 006 - both about a 45 minutes ride away. He writes them up as if they could have responded to an emergency job in seconds rather than being on the other side of the world.
not a big deal. just clear at 26th and get another event for the long ride back.

You contradict yourself, I am sure the Inspectors are FOLLOWING ORDERS, does that make them petty and insecure?? I think you are - at least at the beginning of your post - pointing your finger at the wrong person(s). Inspectors are doing their jobs, and if our members were attentive to these small details (uniforms etc.) they wouldn't be able to write up anyone, only compliment...
If my sgt is now my daddy, what is as inspector to me???
Why don't you post the names and addresses of the inspectors? We wouldn't know if it was them when they call 911, so it may as well be posted to prevent anyone from getting gigged (amongst other things) when they call.

Oh, on a PUBLIC board you want the addresses of DEPARTMENT members posted? That is beyond evil. Post your home address first...
I prefer flaming hots and red pop!
Ins. Marrato has always been a cops' cop. I haven't run into another inspector like him, the rest are jagoffs.
Eliminate Inspectors and put all the monitoring on district Supervisors. Captains make a shitload of money sitting on their ass. Have them take a closer look a roll calls. It should not take long to fix a problem on a watch.

Makes you really want to do more pro-active policing! Let's destroy cpd more, make morale lower thanks williams we can oney hope when jody is in your all "gone"! the jags at the top have destroyed a once proud department!
Wht do you hair-gel newbies take this garbage thrown at you....act like you got some time on the job and hit the medical when they f*ck with you.
I love the JISC center what a joke that joint is. Take all the amn power and vehicles and put them in districts. Send one lazy Juvy dick to each area one district. Wow I just saved the city millions in gasoline,heating oil for that building as well as many a salary. The amount of lay up time there is un-real! Dogass central
Who was that POS inspector that got fired in the late 80s for being a stalker? I believe he was the same POS that wrote me up during the great Flood of about 87.
Im one of the few guys that made it to traffic ct that morning; the whole city was flooding; viaducts, basements, streets,etc. I got to court and was going up that escalator and that j*goff was waiting at the top. He wrote me up for having my wet jacket open exposing my star and nametag. Bout a year later I saw his name in the paper for stalking a woman.
If he got fired, I wonder if they "backdoored" him into some other clout job/pension. His name
started w/an S as I recall.A real
whore!!!!
I saw a recent transfer order. It had a certain LT from 014 (L.P.) going to IAD.
He must be trying to get the merit Captains bars to go with the merit LT and merit sergeant cheverons.
I only hope he doesn't turn into a total jagbag. He was always pretty cool!
All these supervisor's looking at PO's to write up for uniform infractions, Who's looking at the supervisor's uniforms? There are alot of them that look worse then PO's.
Met only one goof inspector in almost eighteen years: Powers. My half-witted FTO got us nailed by several others who always showed retraint, and compassion, for a miserable PPO stuck with one of Ronnie Garcias "best" training officers, Gino, or should I call him "Gyno" since all he did was chase skirts around 013 when he wasn't blowing off jobs.
Otherwise Inpectors' Reynolds, Ryan, and even Too Tall Smith could be gems who would merely inform your sgt. that you were down on a personal an extra twnty-five minutes at a Polish restaurant-remember that one, Dean? Or upon noticing the absence of a front license plate wrote it up "for information only". The plate was re-affixed the next day. I have no problem with them monitoring response times, or guys far off their posts without first clearing thenselves. Thats where beat integrity and officer safety truly start.

Evidently you haven't been on the job too long. You're probably the first one to call for a wagon when you have a female mental that only weighs 110 pounds. The next time there's a DOA and the removal service is taking too long to show up,put on some gloves and help scrape that DOA from the floor!!! Otherwise handle your own calls.
Lets not crap on all the inspectors. I had a traffic stop on LSD with three 3 mopes in a car...An inspector stopped, got out of his car and stood by as the cover officer until the stop was complete.
So if you work in a ghetto area with no place to eat, and ask to go out of district, you better be able to do it in 30 mins
------------------------------
Do the same thing everyone else has to do in the same situation. Brown bag it.
An inspector could earn his keep by checking why a beat car from 021on days parks on the running path on the east side of Lake Shore Drive for hours at a time.
I don't understand the hat thing at all. Does wearing a hat make the cop a better cop?
I remember Mike Royko used to mention in his column now and then about the CPD obsession with cops not being photographed without their hats on.
Let it be said with the up most confidence that inspectors will continue to do their job. And since there are five assigned to the field, even less at any giving time of the day. Nothing new or unusual is going on except that perhaps specialized units might deserve more visits. Hey isn’t time that “they” enjoy a little MORE attention now and then. After all, most of our notorious misfits were working in special units, tact and gang teams. It is there where those “working officers” have way too much leisure time on their hands and lack appropriate supervision by having been knighted “Sir Clouted!” Hey, maybe the Detective Division could use a little more attention too. Although they tend to show more maturity, still they should not be neglected either since they run FOP.
WAS ON A JOB THE OTHER DAY WHICH WAS AT A DOMESTIC LAST WEEK AND COULDN'T GET IN, BUT HEARD YELLING INSIDE. CALLED FOR A SUPERVISOR, AND WHEN ONE ARRIVED WE MADE A FORCED ENTRY. SOME INSPECTOR WAS WAITING DOWN THE BLOCK IN HIS CAR ...AND NEVER CAME UP TO THE JOB. ISN'T HE A SUPERVISOR??? SHOULDN'T HE HAVE GOTTEN HIS ASS OUT OF THE CAR AND ASSISTED???? MAYBE HE SHOULD WRITE HIMSELF UP!! WHO INSPECTS THE INSPECTORS??? THESE LAZY INSPECTORS ARE UNTOUCHABLE. JODI...IF YOU'RE READING THIS CHECK THE INSPECTORS TOO!!!
Inspector Maratto is prime example of a good inspector. Unfortunately, I can't think of any others.
***Joe Berry is a nice guy as well (in my opinion).
Well the inspectors are not going away they about to announce 2 more. sodowski from the 4th dist and lupe pena.
Sgt's are suppose to do the job that the inspectors do...get rid of them.
It has always puzzled me how some people can come to work each day looking like a salad. Even if a person is a little outside the weight to height guidelines, they can still be clean and well outfitted. I alway notice the white shirts [AKA beige shirts] who display remnants of their lunch on their fronts or the detective in A3, who appears to be a used car sales person, with no hand cuffs and a snubnose .38 on his ankle.
I know the inspectors love to beat up the TRU unit people and fast district tact cops for the infamous "open cuff case", but at least these police may actually put those cuffs on a bad guy/girl during their tour. Sounds like trying to be prepared to do some police work, kind of a dying art these days by all accounts.
Hair gel, well... optional I guess.
First the order on squadroll's states the wagon should come clear when it gets back to the district if its not going somewhere else in between. Second I don't care what any coppers done, its not exceptable for another officer to try to learn where he lives and not respond to call at his residence. I cant believe we have come to this.
"The easiest part of our day should be dressing yourself according to the rules. Hell, even the guys at McDonald's have clean uniforms or they get sent home!!! Why should someone making $60k+ of tax payers money be exempt?"
I'M ALL ABOUT LEADING BY EXAMPLE. SOME OF THE FILTHIEST,FOUL SMELLING INDIVIDUALS I'VE SEEN WERE WHITE SHIRTS,FOUND IN DISTRICTS ALL OVER THE CITY.
SET THE TONE SUPERVISORS, IF YOU'RE CAPABLE?
"If most of us were doing the job as it was laid out for us when we got hired, this wouldn't even be an issue.
1/21/2008 07:04:00 AM"
SPOKEN LIKE A CLOUTED WHITESHIRT COMPANY PUNK!!
IT ALL STARTS W/U COWARD!!
"Inspectors serve a useful purpose, but it seems a shitload of them lost their common sense when they put that gold star on."
WHAT THE F ARE YOU SMOKING?
WHAT PURPOSE DO THEY SERVE THAT ISN'T ALREADY BEING DUPLICATED ALREADY?
THEY ARE A WHITESHIRT POLITICAL ARM WHO'S ONLY PURPOSE IS AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY.NOTHING MORE!
The beauty of this is that they appear to be targeting the 35 or 40% of the department that is visible, in uniform, on the street and responsible to something.
I hope Weis sees right through this absolute bullshit. You want to inspect something, give these assholes a roster with the name of EVERY member of the CPD and what they are supposed to be doing at the moment. If they are supposed to be working, then go track em down and find em working.
Empty cubicles and offices, people out on shopping sprees, medical abusers who aren't anywhere to be found, you name it.
But nooooo. These jagoffs are trying to actually jam up the only people in the department who show up for work, in uniform, and hold themselves responsible to the public.
Its beyond me why anyone would do anything more than backing your coworkes up and answering your calls.
YET!
These Moronic bosses expect the troops to produce tickets and arrests!
These goofballs forgot what is like to be the police thus the pimpy write ups that ain't going no where and just going to shoot themselves in the foot due to lower Moral!
I know how to look clean and at the same to NOT do a damn thing!
Can you say ZERO's across the board! It's real easy to be blind in the streets!
I will get a CR number on an Inspector for NOT helping out in a 10-1. I can guarantee it and will look for an Inspector!
What goes around comes around dickheads!
TO: Inspector Maratto is prime example of a good inspector. Unfortunately, I can't think of any others.
I have never had a problem with Joe Berry....Will never jam up a working copper...might bring something up to be considered for the next time, but next thing you know you are getting an "attaboy" for quick response... My two cents
How about a Pig Ear sandwich and Orange Pop, mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Inspectors cost over a million dollars a year and have take home cars.
Let district/unit bosses answer for their troops' hygine and such.
Supt Weis, save the taxpayers money and dump the Inspector position.
Who is the Inspector who is writing up coppers at 10-1's for not putting on their hats when they exit their vehicles?
For our non-police visiting this site, a 10-1 is when a cop calls an emergency. Usuaully they are in a fist fight or shootout.
Ridiculous.
You all better be prepared for an onslaught of more of this. In order to get the public to buy into the "cleaning up of the department," they've got to come up with all these irregularities. We all know that done't add up to a pool of spit, but it will prove to the public that the bosses are doing something to straighten us out.More infractions, more suspensions. Just smoke & mirrors.
inspectors have to exit and leave their vehicles unattended to write up "roll call felons" right?
I'm no PO but, say no more.
wah wah wah !! The Inspectors are picking on us. Toughen up you college educated woosies.
Whats more disgusting than not having a name tag on or open handcuff cases is a fat ass in uniform. Thats okay because its discrimination if you tell someone that. If your an inspector - lead by example and look good in a uniform. Its hypocracy to write someone up for not wearing a hat when the person writing you up has his or her gut hanging over there handcuffs creating a safety issue for him or herself as well as their partner.
plus you look like a fool on the street in the citizens eyes and their peers.
peace out i am going to mcdonalds now. im lovin it.
4:03a.m.-U haven't truly enjoyed a bag of flamin' hots until u pay a quarter for a pump of hot nacho cheese pumped into the bag. Grape pop is better than blue.
Big Bird McMahon can take my exposed cuffs and stuff 'em in his a$$.
Never got written up by an inspector till this goof starts showing up.
Got stopped by them once or twice and got the lecture "Don't do that again kid." Guess what, that's all it took.
I know everyone's got a job to do, but this guy's a knucklehead.
Inspectors are going to be the position that all the brass that gets dumped from 35th will wind up with. Sounds like Weis wants to get rid of exempt positions but also hold the beat cop to the 'small things' and to be honest, a uniform standard has fallen a bit by the wayside and might actually help morale. That is, if it's enforced uniformly. There were a couple of 1st watch 018th district PO's that were ordered to get haircuts and 'counselled' about this that wound up having to stand roll call next to another PO that that braids tied in a bun so big it looked like a second head. Absolutely no way it could be fit 'comfortably under' the dress uniform cap. That definately wont lead to good morale on the watch.
By the way... I thought the hair standards were applicable to both men and women, meaning womens hair has to be off the collar too. Sgt MM and Lt MS might want to take a look before admonishing PO's about the same thing.

dont forget the pumpcheese either
Inspectors are clout heavy bully's. This is a created spot for do nothing Lts that is all.
nspectors serve a useful purpose, but it seems a shitload of them lost their common sense when they put that gold star on.
Inspector Maratto is prime example of a good inspector. Unfortunately, I can't think of any others.
Wrong! they serve no useful purpose they do what the WC should be doing. Who are you kidding. Its a make work job only period, to take care of those who are connected. As far as Maratto he is a Pussy two faced fucker and will act like your friend yet when he wants he will fuck you in the ass. No self respecting officer, would go out and fuck over us for BS Yet cover for the Rislys on this department. give me a break.
I would have to say that Murato is the police. He helped me and my partner chase someone in the jets a few years ago. Also Zavala, is okay too. He might say "put your star on" or something but he doesn't gig ya for it. And he gets out of the car to back you up too.
Same old stupid CPD bullshit. Hammer the crap out of already, low moral working officers, look the other way on serious problems. This is how all of this shit always starts. It's stupid to sit and gig the shit out of something small. Why? This is all they will ever do; this is what happens with every scandal or a new promise from the new leader. It's the CPD band Aid mentality. Our new super thinks this has never been done in our department or that it's not tight enough. Somebody use your head and focus on serious rogue situations.
DDDDDDDDDDDO YOU HAVE A HALL PASS?
The 30 violations at one roll call was at TRU.
All 30 were the same violations.
POOPY DIAPERS?
I thought hats were no longer required to be worn on field duty. Did this change again?
Hey clouso & 015 alum
In 19, we get to sit on our asses
for an hour, and then when they try to gives us a job we say:
"Squad we just sat down for lunch,
please reassign!"
At least we use "please".
Ahhh 019; you guys dont know what your missing.............
One of the changes being considered is when an officer is written up his supervisor will respond to the violation in writing and may be liable for the same punishment the officer gets.
I leave the car running all the time, especially in this freakin' cold weather. I have a spare key & I lock the doors.
Why can't we have cars like the troopers and the burbs? I see the Oaklawn coppers leave their cars running the entire time they're eating lunch.
Besides, the K9 should leave the car running so the doggie can stay warm or have the a/c on during the summer.
Common Sense, Motherfuckers!
If you're gonna have someone enforce our dress code then I'd rather have the inspector do it more than our sgt, Lt. etc. Think about it. When an inspector is in the district he is usually there for a couple of days and then he's gone for weeks, sometimes months. If your supervisors were in charge of enforcing the dress code it would be like having an inspector in your district every damn day! Don't think that just because you have a couple of soda pops with the sgt. from time to time that he/she won't write you up if they had to. If it means keeping their ass out of the doghouse, they will!
i'll be the first to admit there are some sloppy looking po's out there. i don't think it's a lot to ask out of a po to look presentable and professional.
the problem is they are nailing everyone! you can have the shiniest shoes, the sharpest crease in your pants, starched shirt, etc... and still get nailed for having a flashlight holder on the vest cover! give me a fucking break!!!
About four years ago while on Mid-nights in 011 an 011 dist. car observed a hot car traveling e/b on Madison/kedzie. The vehicle traveled around the block and ended up almost in the same area. The driver resisted being placed into custody to the point of being taken down to the ground,i look up and there sitting three car lenghts from us is a brown unmarked CPD car while we are still on the ground attempting to handcuff this muff,the "officer" sat in his vehicle until we had the subject handcuffed (by the way) he contnued to give us a hard time while being escorted to the beat car to be transported to 011 for processing. As soon as the offender was placed into a squadcar out of the brown unmarked steps an inspector, flagged down all officers on scene and proceeds to write us all up for not wearing our hats upon exiting our vehicles to place the subject in custody. One officer began to ask the inspector why did he not help us or at least call for help. All officers complied with his requests for beats and badge numbers and immediately relocated to 011 to inform w/c Capt. Dahlberg what had transpired. Needless to say we never heard/receive any paperwork from that write up. Remember fellow officers they are still police officers and are suppose/required to assist you if they onview an officer in trouble or in need of help.
FYI, the K9 POs DO leave their cars running while they enjoy lunch, just check out Taylor St. when they're inside Pompei's!
If my sgt is now my daddy, what is as inspector to me???
-------------------------
he be your play "Big-daddy"
Lt. Lupe Pena was never a merit Sgt. He made it before meritorious became a part of the promotion process. And if Lupe did make Lt. meritoriously, he certainly deserved it. He worked hard in 014 as a Sgt., was a fair man, and maintained a decent team in SOS. He's not part of any of THAT drama. Lupe also is very well educated and as capable as any boss out there today, probably better than many. Can't fault him for wanting to get back into a unit. In the future of the CPD, many supervisors will do a tour in IAD. I personally think it's necessary today, to know how that unit works, and what they're looking for when they conduct an investigation. I think it could also be helpful on a patrol level, bringing back that knowledge to the Districts. You might observe a pattern going on, and might, just MIGHT, be able to nip it in the bud, before it becomes front page fodder for the Scum-Times. And if Lupe wants to be a Capt., he wouldn't have to go to IAD to become one. Most of the Capts. are made from District Lts. who bother to complete and submit Capts. application packets, when the Job asks for them. Most Lts. are happy with the hat they are wearing, and it really IS the BET JOB ON THE JOB.
I can think of one other Inspector who is definitely the Police: Joe Barry. He and Moratto are in a class by themselves, always complimenting the good work they see, even bothering to send through complimentary letters.
I've seen them in the District I work in several times last year, and they always provided backup on the calls, and they NEVER sat in their cars.
these type idiots would be the First to go if I was the Supt. They are too stupid to be Inspectors, or Lieutenants, and don't have the proper profesional rationale for such positions. It is obvious that they are Kool-Aid Drinkers as real PO-Lice wouldn't be caught dead doing Pimpy stuff like that. What Idiots. Exactly what is wrong with the CPD's Mentality. Any normal thinking person who is a cop would be totally EMBARRASSED to do such stupid, Childish stuff to earn a living, and only higher up Idiots let them keep making the big bucks to do this Infantile stuff to working cops. Shit-cago, Un-believable. Guys not wearing hats while Felons with CPD badges run rampent, committing multiple Felonies while on duty.. What Fuckin Clowns. Wait till you get a load of this place Jody.
Fuck this job, honest to Christ, fuck this goddamn fucking job. Get written up for common things that make absolutely no sense?
Right, we bottom of the hill beat cops pay the price for massive systemic management corruption and incompetence. As usual.
HEAR THIS JODY, when I get written up for bullshit inspector beefs because some jagoff inspector thinks that is the way to suck up to the new boss I will get back with a ratio of ten days medical for each and every bullshit inspector beef. This I swear!
If I catch a day for bullshit, the City will pay, oh boy will they pay.
Don't get mad fellow officers, get even.
Fuck those asshole bosses, like it's our fault they can't run an honest and fair and decent police department.
Well, as long as I have medical days to use as weapons I will use them and when those are used up I still have IOD. Then retirement.
Fuck em, fuck em hard and fuck em in the ass.
Clout-Heavy, too stupid to do real policework losers with big salaries. Roll-call sgts. and Lts. can easily do the same job for uniform regs. Field supervisors can do the street supervision, like they are paid for. Probably the good Inspectors came from busy Districts and Units, and did real police work, and the pimp Inspectors probably came from real nice, and slow Districts, like 001, 016, 018, 019, 022, etc; and probably didn't do much real police work, even in the slower , easier to police Districts

You gotta be an IDIOT!! Paint your supervisors at the district level as being the bad guys?? How much uniform allowance a year do we get? Is it really that hard to follow the orders that have been in place for years, to be adhered to? It's not that hard to look decent at roll-call. Inspectors are jerk-offs for the most part, but the supervisors in the district want no headaches. Dress according to the regulations & you won't have any problems. Doesn't sound too difficult to me....
BE SAFE!!
Back in the mid 90's I responded to a 10-1 passing what appeared to be and inspector. Figureing he was unfamiliar with the area I noticed he was following me to the 10-1. Happy because I knew that all the working cars were tied up on the other side of the District.
The car that called the 10-1 wa 2 females fighting a M/1 506, 150lbs or so dressed in boxer shorts in the middle of winter. PCP muscles, and slippery from sweat. We fought/wrestled and and finally another car showed up. The Inspector your wondering? Well he never got out of his car. He was logging our cars and who didnt have a hat on.
Fast forward about an hour. I and my partner get the dreaded go in and see the W/C call. Upon arrival to the W/C's office I see the W/C and the inspector. The inspector identifies me as one of the officers he observed with no hat on. I ask where, and he reciets the address. I AGREE I wasnt wearing a hat responding to the 10-1 call. I looked at the W/C as he told me that a hat is part of the uniform, but he understood why I wasnt wearing one at the time. The inspector said he was still gonna write me up, and I said OK you have a job to do.
It was at that time I looked at the W/C and demanded that a CR# was obtained against the inspector. The inspector turned redder that an Irishman whos been in sun way to long...
On what grounds the Inspector demanded! Cowardice, fail to take action, and after I call the FOP Im sure they will add more to it. The W/C blew-up saying one of my cars calls a 10-1 and you just sit in the car and watch to see whos wearing a hat? The inspector just looked at him neither confirming or denying the acusation. The W/C looked at me said "Officer for your information I WILL initiate 2 CR#'s 1 for you listing the other officers on scene as witness's, and the other from me listing you as a witness". I was then dismissed and never heard about it again other that the W/C telling me he knew the Inspector years prior as PO's and indeed he was a coward.
Are all Inspectors like that? Lord I hope not. Do we need them? Hell NO. If the sgt's, Lt's etc do their jobs we really dont need them.
Had a lot of fun on this job gonna miss it...less than 8000 hours to go
I really appreciated the stand up roll call inspection with Sgt standing behind the captain taking the notes who looks like shit and has way more violations than me.
Hey sarge you have that gun belt for 30 years?
Accountability starts at the TOP and works its way down.
Are we still REQUIRED to wear a hat when we exit vehicle? Regular hat, Brizzly brune hat, baseball hat, knit hat like a sock or the new fold up knit hat, riot helmet, bike helmet???
I think I got them all.
TO- 1/21/2008 11:42:00am I know I personally look much more attractive when hatted. Thanks for asking.
Empty cubicles and offices, people out on shopping sprees, medical abusers who aren't anywhere to be found, you name it.
1/21/2008 01:15:00 PM
AMEN brother!!!!
You should see the cars that are parked at Macy's on a fairly regular basis.
There are groups and forces in our society which are trying to turn being a Police Officer from a calling into a career and there are Officers out there which treat this as a mere job

Moratto is a great inspector. He will gig you if you're blatant, like no sticker on your car, but uniform discrepancies? "Kid, go fix that" is all it takes to remedy the situation. When he stops by 011, he gets a hot car once a period. Comes from his old days as being an auto dick.
Last year, he got a hot ride on 011 with heads in it. Called it in, calm as could be, two arrests and a hot car. Officers offered to put him in box one, he laughed it off, but they put him down assisting anyway. Sergeant on days writes up the Honorable Mention for PSMV - there's Moratto's name on the HM for everyone to see. Wonder how he felt with that sly bit of ball busting? Great guy.
Cry babies. Just do what you're supposed and you won't get written up.

YOU WANT A MEDAL & THE CHEST TO PIN IT ON BECUZ YOU WORK IN THE GHETTO CLOWN?
I'VE WORKED IN HIGH VOLUME & LOW VOLUME DISTRICTS.
THE GHETTO HIGH VOLUME ARE THE EASIEST DISTRICTS I KNOW, NONSENSE DUMMY CALLS ALL DAY LONG. THE LOWER VOLUME DISTRICTS REQUIRE THINKING SKILLS YOU'LL ONLY DREAM OF OBTAINING. SOONER YOU GET OFF THE HIGH HORSE MENTAL MIDGET THE BETTER...
Ins. Marrato has always been a cops' cop. I haven't run into another inspector like him, the rest are jagoffs.
He has you snowed. No different then the rest and you sir are a fool to believe him, as when they have their little round table he mother fucks you guys.
inspectors can have a field day if they hang around the airports. no vest! gym shoes w/ velcro straps! no flashlights! the list goes on and on.
No funk, no food stains, and buy a shirt that fits before one of those buttons pops off and kills a fellow officer like a bullet!!!
1/21/2008 12:10:00 AM
Lighten up dickhead. I'm sure you look very pretty everyday. I know you don't do police work, because, you have the time to worry about the uniforms of others.
I agree that Inspector Berry is a stand up guy. He backed me up two times one night on traffic stops when I was 99. He got out of the car and stood as my cover officer, and waited till the stop was done and the shitheads were gone. Im sure he could of found something to gig me on but he was more interested in officer saftey than some bullshit write up....stand up guy
Squadrols have been notorious in most, if not all of the Districts for taking way too much time to make transports, especially those out of their assigned areas.
Really! Yet we have thousands of white shirts that give 2 hours a day in or out of the Dist. Give me a break when they all give 81/2 hours a day 6 days in a roll,then we can talk. The Job I do and the danger I'm in day in and day out and your crying. What a bitch
Lets not crap on all the inspectors. I had a traffic stop on LSD with three 3 mopes in a car...An inspector stopped, got out of his car and stood by as the cover officer until the stop was complete.
He doesn't get a medal, what the fuck is he suppose to do. Please!
I have no problem with them monitoring response times, or guys far off their posts without first clearing thenselves. Thats where beat integrity and officer safety truly start.
Ok Rat!
I find it a amusing, that these Lt's with gold stars actually believe that J-Fed would only look at the last four weeks of their activity. The question then becomes, what were they doing before that, caused this sudden spike in infractions?
J-Fed, what are we paying Sgts. Lts. and Capts. for?
I CAN'T WAIT TO QUIT!!!!
2 new inspectors pena and saduski
rumor is to double the size of inspectors
One incident in A5, a feamle was found DOA in her car and bleeding from her nose and mouth. Et's and the dicks were called and a crime scene set up. A female inspector arrived on the scene and went looking for movers.Well the dicks arrive and were not wearing their vest(hot summer day)well she wrote all three of them up. The e.t. sgt. arrived to log her e.t. I warned her about the inspector gigging people and told her to check her self out before entering the tape. Thank god because she forgot she was wearing stud earings.
The best part of the story is that the inspector upon arriving on the scene had parked her vehicle on the wrong side of the street when there was plenty of parking for her to park the proper way. I wanted to write her a parker but my sgt. told not to start any wars with the inspectors office. I agreed and didnt. But if they want to start some shit, guy use the pen, I know I will from now on.
Big Bird is an asshole and if you see him..run! Double back though because he never learned that trick!
Fuck this job, honest to Christ, fuck this goddamn fucking job. Get written up for common things that make absolutely no sense?
***************************
You should check yourself into a mental health facility ASAP
i wonder where sgt. ebay over at midway obtains the items he sells during his five hour tour?
i wish the inspectors could follow captain crunch's driver around.
Eliminate Inspectors and put all the monitoring on district Supervisors. Captains make a shitload of money sitting on their ass. Have them take a closer look a roll calls. It should not take long to fix a problem on a watch.
******************************
Well, which do you want? Captains inspecting the troops daily at roll call and noting the deficiencies (been highly beefed and whined about on this blog) or the inspectors to back it up (also highly beefed and whined about)
Which one do you want?
By the way... I thought the hair standards were applicable to both men and women, meaning womens hair has to be off the collar too. Sgt MM and Lt MS might want to take a look before admonishing PO's about the same thing.
1/21/2008 04:02:00 PM
********************************
The standards are
Men: hair cannot touch the collar
Women: hair cannot be longer than the bottom of the collar.
A slight difference, hence the women don't have to look like men.
To the poster who leaves the squad running "all the time:" remember the goof in 014 whose squad was stolen when he left it running on Armitage & Western. Don't leave yourself open for some stupid shit like he did, use your head.
re10:07
inspectors are the baby daddy?
just keeping it realz. Cause that's how we rollZ
If Jody cleans house, puts the over priced secretaries from 35th st. and all districts, who work 4-6 hrs. a day, down sizes the units, gets rid of the b.s. units, down sizes the caps offices, all back in patrol so we have 2 man cars and not 1 man rapids or beat cars making the dept. more efficient and safer. I'll gladly stand inspection everyday.
My experience on this job says that the biggest whiners about inspectors are almost always (almost mind you) the biggest dogs.
Wear the uniform properly and have some pride in your appearance....this isn't Burger King...do the job you're paid to do, not fuck around...you have nothing to worry about.

It is just a job like a factory nothing more idiot!
Here is the difference between inspectors: the car that contains the former beat 4500B, will catch three violations and say "sergeant, I observed this, this, and this, which two cars are you gonna save..."
The former beat 901 won't say shit to the sergeant and inform the WC that he has three infraction reports that he will write up. The same guy that will do check off well away from the sergeant so the sergeant cannot say anything in defense of his people. I know this for a fact, as big bird has pulled this on me a few times.
I have to ask, I heard of a F/2 insp. who had written up to 2 po's for being legally parked along a curb for no seat belts. If true can you post this mensa member's name!
Lets hug it out you little bitches!
And stay safe....
are they going to start writing each other up for working four hour days. once saw an old time captain tell one to get the fuck out of my station.
The driver for cappy crunch is half in the bag by noon and driving a dept vehicle . where is big bird now. nowhere. if he writes up a airport cop he won't be allowed a parking space next time he flys out. boohoo bitch!
Big bird or Big Turd won't mess with the fly boys 'cause his tires will need air next time he goes on a golfing trip.
...First the order on squadroll's states the wagon should come clear when it gets back to the district...
Actually, this is exactly what the order states:
E. Squadrol officers assigned to a transport out of the squadrol’s assigned district will return to service immediately after completing the transport by informing the OEMC dispatcher that they are en route to the district of assignment.
the inspectors have to find me first , tucked away nicely, watching my dvd movies, tonight was
the original planet of the apes with roddy mcdowell, and the blues brothers. if they do find me i'll just offer them some of my okeedokee pop corn and grape fanta
fanta fanta dontchuwanna fanta fanta!!! tuesday night's movie will be superbad stop by if you can find me beotches.
it is the dawn of a new day and a The New Centurians!
Nothin but a bunch of hair gell wearing bitch asses!
wait a second..PUMP CHEESE on them delicious little flamin hots..shit this is going to change my life..and blue is better than grape
There is no way in hell an Inspector is writing guys with no hats at 10-1 calls.
The entire uniform standard needs to be overhauled. Some ideas....
1. No more turtlenecks or"dickies". Wear a TIE!
2. No more cargo pants/BDU's. 80/20's! And no JC Penney's cheaters either!
3. No more knit hats or baseball caps. Regular seasonal issued uniform hat.
4. No more gym shoes. There's quite a selection of modern footware available that looks professional and is comfortable to wear.
5. The sweaters. Okay, they're warm but IMO they are not that attractive when worn as on outer garment. And at nearly a $100 a pop it's an expensive item to replace. I know of a few guys that have gone through several because of tears, rips, etc.
6. Get a haircut, shave, no ear rings, braids, corn rows, and if ANYONE has excessive tattoo's on their arms, make them wear a long sleeve shirt year round!
****Joe Berry is a Class Act***
Just wish all the inspectors were like him!
flamn hots, cheezy poofs and wild cherry pop = bullet proof!
hey, how come in the 3rd district everybody is walking around with popcorn, corn rows or dreds. i dont appreciate the rap music playing at the desk while im calling felony review and have to yell on the phone and cover my other ear just to have a conversation
tuesday night's movie will be superbad stop by if you can find me beotches
I caught Superbad at work last tuesday, excellent choice! For me, this tuesday is gonna the first disc of Ken Burn's "Civil War".
I just saw an inspector at 26cal walking in the building drinking a coffee and no hat. Didn't get his name tag too busy avoiding eye conatact. WTF. but i'm sure he is going to gig someone for some bullshit. by the way inspectors in case you did not read the uniform order the sweater must be tucked in, if i have to endure the uncomfort so can you. But then youd have to get Jared's old pants.
are they going to start writing each other up for working four hour days. once saw an old time captain tell one to get the fuck out of my station.
I live down the street from an inspector who parks his vehicle in the garage for about 6 hours then goes into the Dist to write you guys up. He says its a beautiful thing.
Whenever you spot an inspector, ask him to assist you on a street stop. Before he has an opportunity to respond, you and your partner jump out of your car.
The second you get out of your car, yell to the inspector, "White t-shirt, blue jeans, took off through the alley." Then you and your partner start running down the alley calling in this "chase."
When you're out of the inspector's sight get on the radio. "Inspector, inspector, he's headed right towards you."
Stay out of the inspector's sight while you are searching for the offender. If the inspector hasn't left already, he shortly will.
Throughout the remainder of your shift keep calling for the inspector on the radio to see if he captured your offender.
If the inspector comes back, do it all over again.

oh come on! we all know a lot of them look more like men than a lot of the men do! (especially those two)
and blue pop or grape pop? to set the record straight, red pop is da mufuckin bomb yo! blue and purple aint got shit on red pop.
to: 1/21/2008, 10:06 am....1) contradictions ?...I didn't think so; 2) inspectors are only following orders?....like the SS in Germany said, well, we only helped the people get on the train, we didn't know where the train was going....give me a fu@@ing break; look at the entire picture! the CPD is broken; low morale, a non-functioning FTO program, a dysfunctional and corrupted promotional system, an ineffective and corrupted hiring system, many districts not only overwhelmed with calls for service but undermanned (a situation which, by the way, leaves many citizens waiting (sometimes hours) for service (but if their wait doesn't show up in the daily homicide/shooting numbers, then....so what?), management's undying and undeserved loyalty to a specialized unit (TRU), that does nothing but show up in a particular area, make some bullshit arrests, and then claim great success at the weekly DOC meetings, unit and district personnel assignment and field staffing inequities that would make Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles look like management geniuses, and, perhaps more importantly, the corrosive nature and corruptive influences of political clout in the CPD (the politics of race, ethnicity, gender, friendship, family relationships, Democratic political clout or connections, sexual relations, etc., etc.) If an inspector had any courage, he or she would start to document and investigate any of the aforementioned (instead of saying, it's not my job, or, where's your handcuff case, or....) I guess it's easier to say, it's not my job...
I remember the days when we WANTED the inspectors to be a bunch of clouted MFers. That way you could just work a busy district (in the dark) or the projects (day or night) and never see one.
I saw a recent transfer order. It had a certain LT from 014 (L.P.)
Actually L.P. from 014, is NOW an Inspector!
He and Along with Kevin Sadowski are new Inspectors!
Let's get PIMP E and write everyone up for every little infraction known and unknown! It's not going to change this in the long run. This is short term Bullshit. How about when the President came in a couple weeks ago and the order stated the uniform of the day. Now the same stupie head exempt stated the were too many variations of the uniform. WTF? You sir need to retire! Does C.W. have that degree or not?

1. No more turtlenecks or"dickies". Wear a TIE!
Well said my friend. You are either a dick knob or a company man. Very few things in life are more classy than a clip on tie. It oozes respect just like the saucer cap. I always wondered what a 1940's cab driver felt like. You must feel invincible with you clip on tie, cap, polished boots and straight pants when yelling at some poor illegal for parking in the alley.
I got no problem with Inspectors writing up Dets. for not wearing vests. If I have to wear one on the street, everyone else should too. No exceptions.
If you don't like music at the desk, take it up with the desk Sgt.
It's his world behind there.
stop blasting the wagons , not all are dogs ,001 just threw some dogs off and finally have a wagon coming clear and taking jobs
I agree, some wagons stay down too long on transports to 26th and cal, but others respond to bs transports for tact teams who would be better off and safer taking their bs hype arrests from the projects themselves
If an inspector had any courage, he or she would start to document and investigate any of the aforementioned (instead of saying, it's not my job, or, where's your handcuff case, or....) I guess it's easier to say, it's not my job...
*************************
But it ISN'T his/her job to investigate anything at all, it is their job to MAKE OBSERVATIONS, that is ALL... they do not decide what if any disciplinary action will be taken, nor are they notified of what that action is... they make observations, and report them... that is their job.. Inspectors don't investigate... get your head around that. They don't do the CR investigation, in fact they don't initiate CR's...
Why should they investigate things that aren't in their job description? Isn't there enough things for them to observe? The items you are listing should be paid attention to, but you are barking up the wrong tree when you pin them on the inspectors. Try going up a little higher on the food chain...

Actually, the ADS's should be addressing these issues, but that job has degenerated into a situation where they just answer calls. All their other responsibilities have disappeared into the mist or something, but they don't fulfill the mission they once did.
We were on a traffic stop last ngt at Division and Laramie last ngt with three shitheads in a car when an inspector pulls up. Me and my partner are back in our car running names when this jagoff Inspector (Salava, I'm pretty sure thats his name or atleast its close) comes up and starts asking us all these questions about our uniform and all our info for some minor uniform stuff (which he wrote us up for). My point here is not to complain abt being written up its to complain abt how this idiot totallty compromised me and my partners saftey, not to mention his own, by feeling the need to gig us while were in the middle of our stop, taking our attention away from these shitheads. I've heard other p.o.'s say they have had similar situations. What the fuck is wrong with these inspectors?? Do your jobs but wait till its safe you dumbass. And watch out for this Inspector Salava, hes unsafe.....
Word is our LT on days was leaving to be an inspector. It kind of pissed some of us off because that was gonna leave us with Capt. Sybil. He probably would have been a cool inspector as he seems to be the voice of reason crying out in the wilderness here...BUT....rumor is somebody killed it...possibly Commander Gyro
The inspectors are everywhere I just put on my new shorts and by the ass crack was "inspector 12" must be a 12th district inspector looking for some shit!

If you think the wagon is so great then work it and make it a tact wagon. just handle your beat.
a few years ago, an inspector waited for me and my partner to leave El Gallo at 26/keeler, putting a 45 minute lunch case on us, not to mention no bt. tag and no stars on outer garments when we contested that he was full of shit on his claim. When he finished getting our info, he sat in his car doing his report. Dumbass had parked in the bus stop, so I wrote him a parker, knocked on his window and handed him the ticket. He told me I couldn't write him because he was engaged in "official duties". I told him there were instructions on the back to contest the ticket. Got the call from the W/C minutes later. Got chewed out, but refused to do the paper to non-suit the ticket. True story. And we beat the lunch beef with documents provided by the Audy Home that provided a time-line and a helluva creatively written To-From. Moral of the story: fuck these inspectors; especially if the gig may be the one to cost you a day or two. Never make it easy for these bastards to hurt you, and make them look stupid if you get the opportunity.
If most of us were doing the job as it was laid out for us when we got hired, this wouldn't even be an issue.
