Swiping Rumor True?
From all corners of the city, reports that some fax came out about the Swiping In/Swiping Out rumor. Some people say it's about to start, some say it has no numbers of signatures on it. Could it all be an elaborate hoax? Or reality as determined by short thinking bean counters?
Who's got the straight story?

Swiping in and out??? Here's what I call doing nothing, yet still having the non law abiding shit bag locked up!
I recently took up a post at 35th/Michigan. I was launched from SOS after all the BS eventhough I had not one single CR against me.
Luckily, I drew the long straw and somehow got sent to headquarters. Several of my old teammates however werent so lucky and ended up in districts. Many of whom have been assigned immediately to tact/gang (these commanders are not stupid) and are lucky in their own right.
But being SOS guys, we have it in our blood. We are go getters... we do the job because we love doing the job... We lock up non law abiding individuals because that is who we are and what we do... you can take the man out of SOS but you will NEVER be able to take the SOS out of the man
Anyways, here is what I do... on my personals and lunch I head down to the first floor... where gun registration requests is located. When someone comes in and inquires about registering a handgun, I listen real closely. Once he is told he is not allowed to register a handgun in the city, and therefore now he is violating city law, I approach. I ask him his address and what kind of guns are in his house.
Once I get the info, I call my former team, I act as informant to the warrant, and BINGO! The boys hit the house. We get guns off the street and take a law breaking scumbag off as well!
At the end of the day, I figure I just realigned my resources and am enforcing the city laws as I swore to uphold. The boys get their numbers, the bosses are happy with guns without incident, and we all feel like a job well done!
Am I a gun grabber? YOURE GOD DAMN RIGHT I AM! I GRAB AS MANY ILLEGAL GUNS AS I CAN! Remember, you are sworn to uphold the law! 2nd amendment does not provide protection in this case! But remember, swipe out!

From Stella Foster at the Scumtimes:
JUST IN: The daily Chicago Defender newspaper will become a weekly effective Feb. 13. The 102-year-old paper that serves the African-American community will then publish only on Wednesdays. My sources tell me that there will be no job losses or sections eliminated. . . . In fact, it is being said that new sections might be added, making the Chicago Defender bigger, as well. There's a big staff meeting scheduled for today. Currently, the paper comes out four days a week and is the only black-owned daily newspaper in the country.
you people crack me up, by the way... bitch all day long about the union, but as soon as someone may require you to get in shape... YOU CRY CONTRACT AND UNION!!! YOU NOW DEMAND PROTECTION HILARIOUS!

This post from theres Jfed was ingenious! Way too long to post the entire thing, but true all the way! CPD is a bunch of fat slobs and if swiping is the biggest worry than we really dont have it so bad. I think the union should put it to a vote... Physical fitness test required every 6 months. If the majority says no, then continue to fight it. If the majority says yes, require it or be fired! Simple as that... too fucking bad majority rules. There are more guys with less than 15 years on that can easily pass the power test (easy) than old humps that cannot. Get in shape or lose your pension... Im all for it! As a matter of fact Im gonna write a letter a day to the union about this... and when they respond... 2 a day! Andy Dufrain style!!! FUCK YOU OLD KRUSTY HACKS!! YOURE OUT!!!
Elaborate hoax. You are giving the bored cop that faxed out a an unsigned fax not following department format a lot of credit. Its pretty funny to see how easy it is for people to fall for shit just because it is on this blog. No offense SCC.
Heard it came from city hall over the objections of the high command who wanted to wait and let j-fed make the decision. can you see the parking lot at 35th street when every one leaves together?
when i'm late i think i will use the medical after all isnt thats what its for? no contract no workey
PLEASE VOTEON TUESDAY!!!!
The nation didn't buy the liberal R.I.N.O. BS that Rudy Guiliana attempted to pass off. Hopefully the nation sees John McCain and Mitt Romney as the LIBERALS they truly are and vote sensibly.
Please people conduct your own independent research on the candidates,DO NOT RELY UPON THE MEDIA TO SPOON FEED YOU!
Illinois is a very important state,individual delegates count. We are not a winner takes all state. VOTE!!!

RON PAUL IN '08
BE PART OF THE REVOLUTION TO TAKE BACK AMERICA
oh boy-- all the special people will now have to do an entire tour-- no more folding the slip and giving it back tomorrow. this has happened because we abused a priviledge-- once again coppers f'ed up a good thing.
Order came out tonight signed by Supt Weis, starting 01FEB08, all CPD will be required to swipe in and out.
Big deal, most of us work 8 for 8 anyhow. Not like the days of old!
How about the stories coming out of 007 regarding the Watch Commander telling his PO's that they should let PO's with drugs go, as a professional courtesy.
This is the reason CPD is in the spot it is in these days, terrible leadership.
I find it disgusting that a boss tells his PO's, many of them right out of the Academy, that they should break the law.
This guy should be demoted and forced into retirement.
Only in America!!
-----------------------------------
WASHINGTON — The $146 billion stimulus package intended to jolt the economy by giving taxpayers rebates up to $1,200 includes cash returns for illegal immigrants who pay taxes.
Under the plan passed by the House, illegal immigrants who qualify as "resident aliens" and earned a minimum of $3,000 would be eligible for rebates of between $300-$600, FOX News has learned.
Even though we have been swiping now for a few months, it is not being stored in any database. Those card readers in each district just transmit what is on the magnetic strip on your id card. Every officer's info has to be placed in a database first. Trust me. I worked with computers before this job.
Every district will lose one gang team and the tact teams are going to 8 on a team. Gang team hours will be 1330-2200 hrs.
As the old saying goes, There is a sucker born every minute and it looks like there is about 12,500 ninutes of suckers on CPD.
Who in there right mind really believes that an order being faxed from AREA 1 Detective Division that contains no authentication signatures and is NOT posted on the I-Clear Admin. Faxes list is REAL?
And to do send this out one or two days prior to it starting?
Last time I checked Area 1 Detective Division is not responsible for sending out administrative orders or faxes. Sounds like the ghost of Sgt. Dave Snethen having fun acting as the Second Deputy Supt!
And why would they issue such an order a few days before J-Fed takes over. Don't you think as a courtesy to the new Supt. they would let him sign the order and make the decision.
REMEMBER THERE IS ONLY A VERY FEW PEOPLE ON THIS JOB WHO HAS THE BALLS TO MAKE A DECISION! Even less a few days from a new Supt. taking over. Most of the exempts are in the washroom with nervous shits, wondering where they are going to get launched to because they have no qualifications to be where they are at other than having a family member with clout or sleeping with some old fat boss.
FACE IT - YOU GOT HOSED SO BAD THAT I AM SURPRISED YOUR NOT BLEEDING!
I swiped in on 12 Jul 1998 when the machines were first put in and swiped out yesterday. I was informed by the timekeeper that since I just worked almost 10 yrs straight I can now retire early!
It works!
PS Microsoft will pay you $100.00 everytime you forward this message to another cop!
PS I have a friend in Africa that needs to wire $10,000.000.00 out of Africa, if you post your bank and account number he will split it with you!
PS But wait, that is not all, we'll throw in this Ginsu Knife that can cut beer cans in half and still cut tomatoes!
PS YOU GOT BULLSHITTED BY THE BULLSHITTER! Just admit it, you fell for it!
And the retro checks will be in on 01 Feb 2008 too! I saw the fax!
The Area 2 swipe machine is out of order because Fabio's hair gel fell into the swiper slide! You'll need a chain saw to get that hair gel out of that swipeer!
Yes its true, i have just read the department notice today...its not signed but it said Jody Weis-Superintendent of Police
It may be true, I heard they gave the exempt members a 4 day course on how to swipe an identification card! Sad that 40% failed and have to re-take the class over.
I heard it was MOLLOY'S MERIT ANGELS from A/1 Det. Div. pulling a prank! Can somebody confirm please!
Hi All! Its Lt. Richie Scotchbreath fresh home from TR's pub! I was recently transferred from 8th Tactical to CPD Rumor Central! I just like to say (Hic-Up) that any rumor as to swiping (Hic-Up) is false! I have made several calls (Hic-Up, Burp) from my secondary office bar stool at TR's pub to inquire about this nasty and false rumor (Hic-Up).
The best I can tell from the calls, which was hard to hear over the jukebox was that no such order (Hic-Up) was issued!
Now as to the retro-checks being in on the 1st of Feb, I am still working on that one!
Have to hit the bed, during the bed spins (Hic-Up) I will further think this over.
Just hope I don't wet and soil the bed again.
Sweet dreams!

For all you specialized unit heavy clouter cops: You can swipe in and out from home at WWW.SwipeInAndOut.Com
Try to keep this quiet, nobody really knows about it!
Did they really install one of these swipers at the Federal MCC building lobby for the SOS Officers?
Here is a rumor you get bet is true. Got it from the source. J-Fed wants the entire department drug tested during the 2008 calendar year. Drug testing will be done with hair samples (provides up to 6 months past use).
J-Fed is believer that weeding out drug users is a way to help stem corruption.
And I will bet if he does this hair testing, about 5% of department will be gone!
The New Supt. wants to have DNA samples from all officers. He stated that following 911 many officers had to be identified by DNA after the Twin Towers collapsed. The DNA had to be collected from the officers personal belongings such as toothbrushes and hair brushes/combs.
He wants the DNA to already be on file in case a 911 seniaro comes to Chicago.
This new Supt. is at least thinking and I think its a great start!
F*(# rumors, just go to the Fax message center Jan 08. It is not there, that is all.
I hope we do swipe in and out!
I have a Labor attorney on stand-by the moment the city tries to screw me out of my overtime.
Can you say: Motion to Discovery
He is a retired copper and now an attorney who would love to make money off of this scum city!
Forget about swiping for a minute. But if you want to have an interesting chat about bean counting check out what the city has paid out in claims, mostly against the CPD and Streets and San by going to:
http://egov.cityofchicago.org/webportal/COC_editorial/2007expenditures11302007_1.pdf
You'll see an awful lot of spilt beans.
There is something coming out by tomorrow. The person pushing the swiping in and out is the mayor and not police exempts. His reasoning is that everyone else does it so why doesn't the largest city department do it. The swiping is NOT hooked up to payroll so you are not going to get docked pay if you forget to swipe out or work extra hours on the end to get overtime. They just want us to get into the habit of swiping in and out so when the time comes to hook it up to the payroll system, everybody will have been doing it for a while.
The reality of the whole situation: It will never, ever work. There are too many variables that will work against the city and the thousands of grievances that will result in not getting paid or shorted hours will be staggering. I hope that MLAS will be ready for that.
Do you remember when the time and attendance cards were going to go paperless? Not gonna happen any time soon.
Just relax for now; maybe the little prick will have a massive grabber in the near future.
Here is another 'Swiping' story. You have to get your fat ass out of your car when you get gas now. YOu have to: 1. Swipe 2. Sign the stupid log (In pencil no less). This would be fine (I gassed the squad up myself many times when the pumps were still in District and I wasn't treated like a child) but the city SPENT HOW MUCH on building those HUGE fuel centers and MANNING them. There were Two (2) people "working" @ the one I went too. He pointed to the sign and said it's now policy. I AXED him what was he getting paid for then? His response (Read from a pre-printed card) was : "I'm not here to debate it with you." So here we are. NO CONTRACT. NO MONEY. With two mopes per shift (at least) per fuel center (at least) who just GET PAID.
Now THATS the job!
Hey channel 7! Since Dugans didn't get you anything good, rolls some tape at these places!
Go back the way it used to be. 3 tac teams per district and they were 8 man teams. The beat cars were all manned, if you were not heavy you had to be a real worker to get on tac and life was good. What is that? freeing up 40 P.O.s per district for the watch.
The reason we have to swipe and sign at the gas pumps is because someone was able to get themselves $3500 in free gas. I don't think it was CPD/CFD/or S&S. It was probably one of the pump jockeys who got a hold of someones ID.
Rumor has it the city is seeking bids for 2500 more tazers for PO's. Anyone hear of this?
Its true Department Notice 08-06 sez swipe in swipe out. Its now on line.
2:34 in reference to your "retro check" comment. I didnt know they had internet connections at dougans, now go back to the bar w/your cpd hat and t-shirt and tell some really great war stories. And "gun gropper please...thats really pathetic. you were never ever 153
LET ME GUESS THE GUN GRABBER WAS IN SOS BUT HE GET A SPOT AT HQ NOT A DISTRICT. IF MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT WAS NT HQ SUPPOSED TO BE A LEAN MEAN UNIT THAT GOT RID OF ALL THE FAT.
AMAZING ONE CLOUT SPOT TO ANOTHER!
I AM SO IMPRESSED THAT AN OFFICER WOULD WANT TO TAKE GUNS OFF THE STREETS FROM PEOPLE WHO LEGALLY BUY THEM AND TRY AND FOLLOW THE LAW.
JUST ANOTHER REASON TO SHOW WHY STATE ATTORNEY ALDERMAN AND CIVILIANS HATE THE POLICE NO COMMON SENSE. ONCE AGAIN TO MUCH COLLEGE NOT ENUFF HIGH SCHOOL.

ANOTHER Asshole who has given his life work for the department,
GO FUCK YOURSELF! You self-righteous jagoff. 8 for 8. Never ducked. Only took 30 minutes for lunch. Nobody ever gave you a slip back? Probably because your a dickhead who can't be trusted.
I hoped you're fucked more than anybody when it comes to swiping in and out.
Papa Smurf. What an asshole.
Lets consider the broader implications of such a fax, phony or not (take your pick, we are screwed):
If its real, the incoming administration is showing up front that it has no confidence in working street officers.
If its phony, it shows the sorry state of the department, where a hack with access to a fax machine can have the entire front line of law enforcement in Chicago looking over their shoulder and altering their procedures.
In either case, it demonstrates the VAST disconnect between command staff and the front line beat officer.
Be afraid, very afraid.

I hope its a good looking senorita that comes looking for a follicle.
Luckily, I drew the long straw and somehow got sent to headquarters.-------------------------------------"LUCKILY? NO ONE GOES TO HQ BY LUCK, ONLY CLOUT.
This is for the goof who is taking his frustrations out on the civilian gas workers at our pumps. Its not their fault!! you would and do the same when you are given orders by your superiors. Some off-duty copper fucked it up by stealing gas thus we all pay. It is what it is. Deal with it.

Are you fucking kidding?!??!?! What an ASSHOLE you are. First of all, dipshit, the you got your spot because of a phone call you made or someone made for you, so quit kidding yourself! Second, these "lucky" commanders got the same fucking phone calls from you whinny bitches. If you were such a go-getter, you would have requested a district but you didn't because your phone call said "lay low for a while, let the smoke clear". And thirdly, and this is my favorite, you'll be joining your friends at 219 Dearborn soon with your bullshit warrants. Unless you have specific information about the weapons, no asa in their right minds would give you ballbags a warrant. So that means only one thing, your pals are lying about the warrant info. So from a no-clout working copper, THANKS JAGOFF, FOR ANONTHER FUCKING SCANDAL!!!! MAY YOU FUCKING ROT IN PRISON!!!!!

I remember working a real job before I became the police....You want me to swipe in and out and account for 8 hours..big deal. How about digging ditches and cleaning sewers. If you work on this job it isn't hard to make 80,000 or more and not even break a sweat. Whats wrong with swiping....its not like we have to worry about "job reductions" or plant closings. Stop your bitching

To the idiot who keeps posting about Ron Paul: give it up. RuPaul has been getting more votes than this nut. Get a new hobby or go back to playing with your baseball cards you lonely loser!
I aint swiping shit! Just try and make me, punks.
Concerning 7:45am's comment...Every time one of those gas pumping retards ask...I mean tell you to get out of your squad and swipe,pop the hood and tell him to check and top off all the fluids and check the air pressure in all 4 tires.If we all do this EVERY TIME maybe they will figure its easier just to swipe themselves,which is what they should be doin anyways.WTF!
The swiping order is nonsense...It was not signed and does not appear as a fax message anywhere on the database...Someone is getting a huge laugh out of our fumbling around...but all of the spineless bosses will believe it because they are afraid of their own shadows!! You do not have to swipe in....period.

Get a warrant Weis1 No dna, it will be used against us if they can."Did you touch this radio used to hit Dr.street drug dealer?"
"Only in America!!"
Only in America would citizens, upon being told that their government is planning on 'rebating' some small portion of taxes paid, by the citizens, to the citizens, would react by considering this an act of generosity of their government.
To state the obvious: It's your money, citizens. You worked for, you earned it, it was 'deducted' from your paychecks, and any 'rebating' of any portion of it is simply returning that small portion to the rightful owner of it, which is you, gullible citizen.
One more example of the contempt in which our rulers hold us.
Newest academy class was in the academy the other day for their final drug test. J-Fed was in the building to qualify with his weapon. The soon to be recruits had been given a start date of 15Feb08. By the end of the day, J-Fed informed the academy staff and recruits that a hiring freeze was being re-instituted and their start date will be determined for a later date. OUCH!!
This department was over 5 years ago. Manmany of the new coppers are ruthless when it comes to brotherhood, evident in this blog. They stand up for number one and back up nothing. They spell check the comments and leave notes of missing adjectives, its a pansy police department. We give all police in this country a bad name. No brotherhood. The firemen still have that and thats why they have a great union and a real department. Sad Sad day for CPD
who has the straight story?
uhm, no one who posts anything here I am guessing.
Hahahahaaaaa!!!!
PS Microsoft will pay you $100.00 everytime you forward this message to another cop!
PS I have a friend in Africa that needs to wire $10,000.000.00 out of Africa, if you post your bank and account number he will split it with you!
PS But wait, that is not all, we'll throw in this Ginsu Knife that can cut beer cans in half and still cut tomatoes!
PS YOU GOT BULLSHITTED BY THE BULLSHITTER! Just admit it, you fell for it!
and lets face it, the only reason we are swiping at all is because someone who is not us saw a chance to make some big bucks for themselves.
Hey, 11:46. Let me get this straight. The guy tries to register the gun, but can't. So he's trying to be legit but the Chicago system precludes it. But he's a scumbag? Sure the gun gets taken but I doubt that a guy who tries to register a gun had plans for illegal activity with it. Too bad as much energy isn't used by you and your pals to get guns from real bad guys.
6:24AM,
That aint the same retired Copper that was selling those defective vests,is it?
No swiping out yet. System not set up for it. However, it is confirmed... an order is in the works, not completed yet, Starks initiated it, Weis will have to approve it. Everything else is complete BS. Any asshole can send out a fax. Don't fall for it. By the way, some units already swiping in and out in 35th but it's not tied in to payroll or time of day. Swipe in the middle of your shift, you will not hear about it. I haven't swiped in for 6 months, haven't heard a damn thing.
Everybody settle down, you're acting like all the idiot bosses who are freaking out. They are trying to preemptively suck ass. It's pathetic and embarrassing. Wies must be walking around with the biggest hard on right now. I for one could not care less about any of it. Gotta go... my personal trainer is on the way and I have a botox party tonight... I hope JW shows up.
Quote of the day: "freaken IDIOTS"

Again, I have not swiped in months. What's the big deal? I still get paid like everyone else.

Are you kidding? Ron Paul is the biggest fool running for President as a Republican or Democrat. He is Libertarian not a Republican, the only reason he is "Republican" this year is because he knows a Libertarian has no shot at winning. Why don't you look and see what he stands for, the guy is crazy.
But being SOS guys, we have it in our blood. We are go getters... we do the job because we love doing the job... We lock up non law abiding individuals because that is who we are and what we do... you can take the man out of SOS but you will NEVER be able to take the SOS out of the man
You sound pathetic. There is life outside the CPD.
1:14 AM I completely agree Ron Paul is the only one with a brain, but did you notice how they wouldnt even let him talk during the debates last night?? I think they only asked his opinion on something once or twice. This country needs to make a lot of changes because lets face it folks we are in trouble!!
Make the gas pump attendant check the oil, that is his job and he must do it. After a month of checking the oil in all the cars you won't have to get out and swipe.
remember ask gas attendant to check oil after he pumps the gas
Department Notice 08-06

hahaha, what a tool, you are really high on yourself huh? what a joke....
heres a clue.... it's just a job...
This post from theres Jfed was ingenious! Way too long to post the entire thing, but true all the way! CPD is a bunch of fat slobs and if swiping is the biggest worry than we really dont have it so bad. I think the union should put it to a vote... Physical fitness test required every 6 months. If the majority says no, then continue to fight it. If the majority says yes, require it or be fired! Simple as that... too fucking bad majority rules. There are more guys with less than 15 years on that can easily pass the power test (easy) than old humps that cannot. Get in shape or lose your pension... Im all for it! As a matter of fact Im gonna write a letter a day to the union about this... and when they respond... 2 a day! Andy Dufrain style!!! FUCK YOU OLD KRUSTY HACKS!! YOURE OUT!!!

YOU ARE A STOOGE
The New Supt. wants to have DNA samples from all officers. He stated that following 911 many officers had to be identified by DNA after the Twin Towers collapsed. The DNA had to be collected from the officers personal belongings such as toothbrushes and hair brushes/combs.
He wants the DNA to already be on file in case a 911 seniaro comes to Chicago.
This new Supt. is at least thinking and I think its a great start!
Yea. what else will they use it for to frame you?
It disheartens me to see some officers post on this blog that because we will have to swipe in and out they won't do any work. We owe it to the citizens of Chicago to do our job my fellow officers. The citizens shouldn't have to suffer because some white shirt exempt or the mayor or Jody Weiss made this decision. Remember, we took an oath of office and even though it sucks, we should still do our job.
"Anyways, here is what I do... on my personals and lunch I head down to the first floor... where gun registration requests is located. When someone comes in and inquires about registering a handgun, I listen real closely. Once he is told he is not allowed to register a handgun in the city, and therefore now he is violating city law, I approach. I ask him his address and what kind of guns are in his house.
Once I get the info, I call my former team, I act as informant to the warrant, and BINGO! The boys hit the house. We get guns off the street and take a law breaking scumbag off as well!"
Great job officer, it sounds like you'll be the next chief asshat. All those guns off the street!!
Another gun collector off the streets for two hours and quasi-criminal charges approved!
I got a flash for you. Swiping is here to stay. I thought it would go away 6 months after we started swiping. That was back in 1992. They made the modifications to the system to accomodate different shifts and hours Then they made it biometric with swiping and palm prints. What you need to start working on is a 3 dimensional stunt latex copy of your hand.
Please tell me that "gun grabber po" was joking...
Sandbagging guys who are trying to do the right thing... good work supercop. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that anyone who walks into HQ and tries to register a gun is not the typical "shit bag".
These two separate posts may actually be one procedure.
If J-Fed does test all CPD officer via hair for drug use in 2008, he will also have our DNA via the hair samples. Sounds like a sure thing since it all can be done at once!

Here is a rumor you get bet is true. Got it from the source. J-Fed wants the entire department drug tested during the 2008 calendar year. Drug testing will be done with hair samples (provides up to 6 months past use).
J-Fed is believer that weeding out drug users is a way to help stem corruption.
And I will bet if he does this hair testing, about 5% of department will be gone!

Even though we have been swiping now for a few months, it is not being stored in any database. Those card readers in each district just transmit what is on the magnetic strip on your id card. Every officer's info has to be placed in a database first. Trust me. I worked with computers before this job.
1/31/2008 02:10:00 AM
OH REALLY???? Your I.D. crad is NOT a magnetic strip!!!! It is simply a bar code concealed under the black strip. So Mr. "I used to work in computers" YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. CATA works of of the City Hall Main Frame and we are all in there already by employee number.

Elaborate hoax. You are giving the bored cop that faxed out a an unsigned fax not following department format a lot of credit. Its pretty funny to see how easy it is for people to fall for shit just because it is on this blog. No offense SCC.

Can anyone confirm that Charlie Williams put his papers in?
Anyways, here is what I do... on my personals and lunch I head down to the first floor... where gun registration requests is located. When someone comes in and inquires about registering a handgun, I listen real closely. Once he is told he is not allowed to register a handgun in the city, and therefore now he is violating city law, I approach. I ask him his address and what kind of guns are in his house.
----------------------
Or you could have given him the chance to give them to someone outside the city, hense he tried to be legal about it, you read as a self rightous fool. I think I dropped a bullet under my seat in the car once, if my wife is driving arrest her too. You fucking idiot. I guess we can figure out who you are, but I guess your a non-cop or someone no one knows or cares about.
Here is another 'Swiping' story. You have to get your fat ass out of your car when you get gas now. YOu have to: 1. Swipe 2. Sign the stupid log (In pencil no less). This would be fine (I gassed the squad up myself many times when the pumps were still in District and I wasn't treated like a child) but the city SPENT HOW MUCH on building those HUGE fuel centers and MANNING them. There were Two (2) people "working" @ the one I went too. He pointed to the sign and said it's now policy. I AXED him what was he getting paid for then? His response (Read from a pre-printed card) was : "I'm not here to debate it with you." So here we are. NO CONTRACT. NO MONEY. With two mopes per shift (at least) per fuel center (at least) who just GET PAID.
*********************
If you would try to understand the reason behind this, it might make sense to you. Believe it or not, police officers have RUINED something again (just like medical, special employment, early ducks, etc.) Officers have been filling their personal cars with gas, going home, getting the spouse's cars and filling them up. Don't blame anyone but the police. Now the right people are going to take the blame, the way it is should be.
OH MY GOD, 8 hour days? We can't leave early on "our friday"? Obviously none of you whining about this have ever worked in the private sector where you may work a 10-14 hour day, not overtime, because you are on salary. God forbid we should work for the time we are paid. Honestly, who do you guys think you are anyway?????
"gun grabber PO"
Your the real scumbag!
Fabio doesn't use hair gel, Fabio uses Dippity-Doo Hair Placement Control Cream. Under his $1,000,000.00 LLOYDS of LONDON hair insurance, he is limited in the kind and type of hair products he can use. Fabio recently collected $50,000.00 from the insurance company after a bad wind storm distrub the part in his hair
If J-Fed wants my DNA, I'll just drop off the underwear I am wearing on his desk. Not a problem!

Another reason was one of the rocket scientist's working at the pumps was giving free gas for all his peeps and was busted.
Here is the real kicker of the story. I looked him up on CLEAR and the dumbass had prior arrests for CSA!!!!!!! CSA, and this guy was hired by the City. LOL.
So now they want to make sure that the driver of the car swipes for gas. I wonder what Alderman got him is job????
Word is Lt. Richie Scotchbreath blew a fuse when he read the post about him wetting and soiling his bed. Sounds like somebdoy might of hit a soft spot with him. Maybe get him some plastic sheets for his birthday! Or some night time Depends adult diaper undies!
Just received a fax at the district fax machine. Tonight's pick three Illinois lottery number is 2-0-8.
Running out right now to drop $100.00 straight on that number!
Must be true, it was on a Department Fax!
Oh NO what is LT J.S from special functions gonna do, all P.Os are ready at 1600 and hes not...he has the balls to tell them be on time but its ok if hes late. Lead by example asshole!!
Its "motion for discovery" you idiot.
Rumors?? I like how this bullshit keeps getting posted. Here is a rumor SCC or should I say Bob Cooley. How many times from the inception of this blog, has your book been advertised. Some lawyers are smart, but not that smart. Let the games begin....... Quit baiting the SOS guys with that stupid gun grabber bullshit post. Everything in that post is a fucking lie except that the SOS boys are go getters and love the job.
-Future Supt
If this is a hoax the joke will be on you if someone who is trying to make a name for himself and actually implements this idea. Don't give them any ideas silly people!!!!!!
He wants the DNA to already be on file in case a 911 seniaro comes to Chicago.

You are the same one that believed the bogus fax. He does not want DNA for identification purposes. Read between the lines.
Lt. Rich Scott is a bed wetter? Too funny1
It was funny to see Maria Maher sitting on Matt Tobias' shoulders in order to reach the swipe machine.
How about the stories coming out of 007 regarding the Watch Commander telling his PO's that they should let PO's with drugs go, as a professional courtesy.
This is the reason CPD is in the spot it is in these days, terrible leadership.
I find it disgusting that a boss tells his PO's, many of them right out of the Academy, that they should break the law.
This guy should be demoted and forced into retirement.
This must be Capt Bubble Head.
Luckily, I drew the long straw and somehow got sent to headquarters. Several of my old teammates however werent so lucky and ended up in districts.
Fuck you! piece of shit, you kissed ass to get to headquarters. I have 27 years in a beat car working my ass off and putting up with this corrupt department and pussies like you.senior officers should be offered the desk jobs. I paid my dues time and again. As soon as I get the age I'm out of this rat hole.
He wants the DNA to already be on file in case a 911 seniaro comes to Chicago.
How about He wants DNA to make you an accused on a beef........
But being SOS guys, we have it in our blood. We are go getters... we do the job because we love doing the job... We lock up non law abiding individuals because that is who we are and what we do... you can take the man out of SOS but you will NEVER be able to take the SOS out of the man
Easy Francis! You son have a self esteem problem, please seek help. To the other Officers(real police) when you read this post you will clearly understand that the department has more then it's share of nuts on this job who carry guns. What an arrogant weasel. GOD HELP US
I haven't swiped in EVER. When that bullshit came out over a year ago about swiping in I knew it was bullshit. Those fucking machines don't record anything. If they did then supervisors would have a Master Swipe card to override mistakes, ie, swiping in to early or too late, when overtime is not authorized etc. Use your heads boys and girls it's just a psychological tool-OOOh you better swipe in and out-OR WHAT??? Total bullshit and I plan on not swiping on Feb 1 or any other day after that.
The clowns who work at the gas pumps are Jerry's Kids Rejects. Total morons.
Have the fat #ss LT's in 14 swipe in
okay listen here,
1st swipe in
2nd go to roll call
3rd take a bathroom break
4th get changed
5th talk to your friends at the desk
6th go to d/d and relax
and
7th at 5 til get an arrest and get paid cry baby
D.N. 08-06
Swipe in and out order is here!
It also implies that productivity should dwindle down to ZERO!

Hell, BLUE FLUE! COUGH! COUGH! Can't write nothing!
Any Officers that continue to give this city any revenues is just a damn fool!

First off your a nut case. Second you admit that you circumvent the constitution. What a slap in the face you are to other officers who have integrity. In my opinion you sir are a poor excuse of a police officer. How sad that you have no life.
Am I a gun grabber? YOURE GOD DAMN RIGHT I AM! I GRAB AS MANY ILLEGAL GUNS AS I CAN! Remember, you are sworn to uphold the law! 2nd amendment does not provide protection in this case! But remember, swipe out!
1/30/2008 11:46:00 PM
Your a goof!
Illinois needs a carry and conceal to protect law abiding citizens from assholes just like you!
This is why Texas is a much safer state than Illinois! Ciitizens are able to legally arm and protect themselves from criminals in Texas!
And you call yourself a Police Officer you should be ashamed of yourself! You friggin Puke!
more overtime!!!!!
Off Post' I saw Jose Sanders again, on the west side he was waiting for a crack whore to exit a crack house. I pulled over said hello then left, as I didn't want to get involved because then the media would make me the bad guy. Jose Sanders is up to his old tricks. (channel 7 )

FABIO'S HAIR? Looks like the man wears a shag carpet on his head! Does he rent a Bissel Rug Shampooer to wash his hair?
1/30/2008 11:46:00 PM
You sir, are a no good sonuvabitch, no better than the asshat area gun teams.
Gun registration is fucking communism, plain and simple. You're not getting "guns off the street" because the low life gangbanger asshat types don't even bother to register their guns. You're sandbagging some citizen who bought a gun legally.
And there is no way of telling if the citizen knew or not about the bullshit registration laws we have, and if they even intended to comply by removing the gun from the city.
You think you're doing a good job? I'm ashamed of you. Go fuck yourself! And that is for real!
I saw this sign above our swipe machine:
Under Health Law All Employees Must Wash Their Hands After Swiping Before Returning To Work.
Somebody placed a box of depends diapers on Lt. Richie Scotchbreath's desk today along with a printout of the post on the blog. The man went nuts and called and E.T. to fingerprint and inventory the box! And this man doesn't have issues?
Who the FUCK is FABIO. There is no such person on the alpha search on I-Clear?
P.O. Shinika Jones-Johnson-Smith attempted to swipe her link card through the machine to pay for two candy bars being sold from the candy box at the 5th Dist. desk.
Hey Squad,
Hold me down on an on-view TVB, looks like I can't swipe until an hour after check off!
No more Watch Commander approval of Overtime!
I should make at least 30 hours a period on these late arrests alone!

Since KK at O'Hare Airport brings her dog to work (when she decides to show up) will he need to swipe in too?
IT'S ALL BULLSHIT
Hey troll, "resident aliens" are legal for your information. They work and pay taxes just like the rest of us.
TO THE ANTI KRUSTY ASSHOLE:
Running around the gym all day is not going to make you a better policeman. You watch too much TV boy. If you think you would be a better officer by greasing up your boyfriend you are goofier than you look in your spandex. When I see two "men" standing next to each other, rubbing and cuddleing each other I will know that you have been there.
Hey, 1/31/2008 12:01:00 AM
Your an idiot!
iT'S TRUE, but evidently commanders can exempt "The CHOSEN from swiping".
Now here is the grievance, Good for all or good for some?
Bad for all or bad for some?
If I'm job code 9161 then every one of you other 9161's better do as I do. Then no Prob.

Is he for real. This guy sounds like a real penis.
Saw the order as I left work today. It's official. Sorry I didn't grab a copy!
It is true. The Dept notice was online today. If you read it it says that swiping is not tied in to the payroll system. If you swipe out late you will not be paid overtime. Read between the lines people. It will only be used to screw over some copper. Unless someone beefs on you no one will ever check on you swiping in and out. Smoke and mirrors, that's all it is.
the city can't get a working program that accurately captures and calculates times. The midget's people have already wasted millions on this crap and will waste a million or two more. You have to swipe, department notice was really released today...not a fax. Big fuggin deal. Swipe in before work, next day come in early and swipe twice...out and in...or whatever kind of chaos you choose(there may be a waiting period between swipes).Fuggin morons. The notice reads to call the help desk whenever your card reader isn't working.Didn't hear the beep, didn't get a green light, didn't see an ok on the screen. Let them have it.
If it's not for any payroll purpose then the mayor must of told the new supt that we are all pavlov's dogs and to start training your beasts.
Hey, gun grabber po, if you are in fact a Police Officer which I doubt, you should be ashamed of yourself for denieing law abiding citizens the right to self defense and usurping the Constitution.
You are a tool sir. You give the rest of us a bad name and are one of the reasons the public hates us. Why don't YOU give up YOUR guns? Mayor Daley loves you.
JUST IN: The daily Chicago Defender newspaper will become a weekly effective Feb. 13. The 102-year-old paper that serves the African-American community will then publish only on Wednesdays.

No relevant newspaper comes out weekly. The Defender has become a magazine
1/30/2008 11:46:00 PM
I think you are a sneaky little prick. If someone is coming in to register a gun, i believe it is highly unlikely that they are intending to use them in a crime . I belive law abiding citizens should be allowed to carry.
He wants the DNA to already be on file in case a 911 seniaro comes to Chicago.
This new Supt. is at least thinking and I think its a great start!

The swiping story is true and comes directly from the mayor. I would not be suprised to find out that heads are going to roll soon after Pam Zekman airs her story on how Police and Fire are not working a full shift and also conducting private business on company time.
to all the naysayers, swiping is here, will it work though? it will be forced down the throat of patrol as usual and certain specialized units will be exempt, "new boss just like the old boss".
YOU BOOB! How many crooks are gonna register their gun at the police station?
"SOS out of the man?"
What a dork you are.

Paris Hair Weave from 99th & the Dan Ryan, is coming out of retirement for one special project.

Swiping is not going to make one fucking difference in the criminal race of police officers. It is a waste of time, but so fucking what, I am swiping in and out on the city's time. Oh well. Don't expect me to go swipe out and go back to work and I am starting at 0700 hrs., not at 0645 hrs. which I have been doing the last 8 years. If a citizen wants a report at 1335, they will be waiting on the next watch!

DISBANDING UNITS AND NOT USING SENIORITY TO ASSIGN THE DISPLACED.
NON-ESSENTIAL PERSONAL SENT TO WAST E GAS ONCE A WEEK WHILE NOT TAKING ANY CALLS.
THE CITY IS PLAYING WITH US WHAT R WE GOING TO DO?
ANY OF YOU WANNA B'S THE PREZ OF FOP GOT ANY NEW IDEAS.
HOW ABOUT THE CURRENT FOP?
There are more guys with less than 15 years on that can easily pass the power test (easy) than old humps that cannot. Get in shape or lose your pension...
I know of many "PO's under 10 years who cannot pass the power test. You live in a dream world. Half this department would fail. So fire half and the other half will work. Then hire in shape recruits. Oh No! They stopped hiring. Last class of recruits scheduled for academy was cancelled. No more hiring. Now what? Haven't hired recruits since October. We are in trouble. Then fire PO's for power test? WTF!
A class of recruits scheduled to start Feb 19th was cancelled. City has not hired since October. Hiring freeze for CPD. Yet, 45 officers retired in Jan alone. Summer will be fun without help. Budget problems? Bullshit.
Am I a gun grabber? YOURE GOD DAMN RIGHT I AM! I GRAB AS MANY ILLEGAL GUNS AS I CAN! Remember, you are sworn to uphold the law! 2nd amendment does not provide protection in this case! But remember, swipe out!
1/30/2008 11:46:00 PM
You should have asked:
AM I AN ASSHOLE? You're goddamn right you are. Dickhead.
Go back the way it used to be. 3 tac teams per district and they were 8 man teams. The beat cars were all manned, if you were not heavy you had to be a real worker to get on tac and life was good. What is that? freeing up 40 P.O.s per district for the watch.
1/31/2008 08:11:00 AM
Your math blows!! Your theory would free up 22 P.O.'s not 40. The 3 tact teams have 10 each & the 2 gang teams have 8 each. Cutting out gang teams would free up 16 P.O.'s & cutting tact teams to 8 would free up 6 more. Total 22. And if most districts are like mine, there are about 7 openings on tact/gangs.
Its on the department Intranet, automative directives as of tonight, Thursday. No signature, but on the site.
Hey SCC and other constant complainers on this site:
How about for a couple of hours one day you restrain yourselves from talking shit about one of your co-workers, bosses or people who you don't know and are in some unit you aren't in and come up with some ideas how we can screw the city with this kronos swipe machine thing.
The city is requiring the department to swipe in/out during the tour. I say who cares but, why does the city need me to do something like this? Am I working on a factory assembly line? Last time I checked police are salaried employees. How many safe guards does the city need to make sure its employees are at work? We are all adults and the city has gone too far.
Are alderman swiping in? I am a voter and I want to make sure I am getting my 8 hours worth of work out of them.
Why doesn't the swipe affect overtime? Because the city has already anticipated the huge amounts of overtime they would have to pay out if it was linked to payroll.
Can people stop bitching about each other and suggest some constructive ways to convince the city that swiping will bring more trouble than it is worth?
Let the crying begin!
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Whatever will the D Division do now that they actually have to show up before the OT starts?!?!?
Word is Lt. Richie Scotchbreath blew a fuse when he read the post about him wetting and soiling his bed. Sounds like somebdoy might of hit a soft spot with him. Maybe get him some plastic sheets for his birthday! Or some night time Depends adult diaper undies!
Sgt. Terry will change the depends he always is behind Lt. Richie
Saw the Fax, Supt. does not start till Feb. 1st, order dated the 31 of Jan. No Stamp from Supt's. office, no Signature of the Supt; just his name typed in. This has got to be a hoax. It is not official w/o stamp from Supt's office and signature of Supt. of Police.
Order was not posted in C.O. book, not signed, etc. It's a trick, not a legit order. A citywide order has to be signed by the Supt. of Police, whoever did it didn't sign Jody's name cause he or she knew it would be a forgery, not just a joke..

I once visited a blog set up for Philly Coppers. There were no posts except for one. It was from a civilian asking a question about their department.The civilian after several days of his post became angry when no one replied to his post. He reposted on the site on how disappointed he was that no officer replied. On that post he did get a replied from a officer on why he had no reply. The reason he stated was because they are the institution with a history that was build over several hundred years and a brotherhood that doesnt talk about the job to outsiders. They dont posts on blogs like other departments.
Scc, this blog while it allows to blow off steam it puts out too much information out there for the public to see. It also allows for rats to anonymously tell on a fellow officer.Chicago Burbs blog took a poll wheter or not he should take down the site, I believe for the sake of the department a vote should be taken on wheter your site should be taken down.
I have been a faithful reader of your blog but some people do not have common sense on what should be posted on a open blog.

In regards to the hoax Department Notice sent citywide, it just goes to show you how unprepared the city is to confront a terrorist attack.
What if a fake fax came accross directing each district to immediately deploy x many of personnel to a specific area and then upon their arrival a dirty bomb or other WMD exploded?
Anyone who possesses a handgun, lives within the city limits and tries to register it, is, by definition, too fucking stupid to safely own any type of deadly weapon.
I work 2nd watch (0700-1530) there's plenty of times that I've left at 1515,1507,and 1527, etc etc and I'm sure the majority of people in patrol feel the same. But for everyone of those times I've also left at 1545,1553, and 1533 etc etc and never even thought of dropping a slip. If the city's going to keep fucking us then I say everytime you swipe out 3,5,15,20, mintues after your shift drop that slip. It will add up, trust me.
FACE IT - YOU GOT HOSED SO BAD THAT I AM SURPRISED YOUR NOT BLEEDING!

The order is out it is on automated directives....
there never was an official "FAX" sent on it..
Holy shit are some of you asshats in denial!!!!!
Face it, it's not a hoax. Welcome to the future, cry babies.
Conform or pay the price. This is NOT your daddy's Department...
Those fucking machines don't record anything.
***************************
You are so wrong about that, they do record the exact time and location where you swipe. The information can be obtained by supervisors... it just isn't being used for payroll purposes, and most places don't request the record, however the record is available, as a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual report...

The New Supt. wants to have DNA samples from all officers. He stated that following 911 many officers had to be identified by DNA after the Twin Towers collapsed. The DNA had to be collected from the officers personal belongings such as toothbrushes and hair brushes/combs.
He wants the DNA to already be on file in case a 911 seniaro comes to Chicago.
This new Supt. is at least thinking and I think its a great start!
Yea. what else will they use it for to frame you?
1/31/2008 12:28:00 PM
911 comes to shitcago lets hop daley and his alderidiots take an action to save his citizens! I will be so out of here protecting my family! As I would hope all cpd would do to their family! If your goofy enough to go into a dirty bomb situation thaen your right for cpd!
they want my dna. after i am dead they can swab my toilet.
Go back the way it used to be. 3 tac teams per district and they were 8 man teams. The beat cars were all manned, if you were not heavy you had to be a real worker to get on tac and life was good. What is that? freeing up 40 P.O.s per district for the watch.
That's 22 by the way but lets also add; if your district is one where your tact team takes shoplifters to keep their numbers up then reassign some of those officers to busier districts. And before you say it, yes some do...
So what...stay late and fill out that slip. If someone doesn't sign it call the FOP. The machine doesn't have to be tied in to payroll. If it is recorded that I swiped out 30 minutes after my tour ended....I WILL BE GETTING PAYED FOR THAT 30 MINUTES. They can't say no.
theres a rumor going around mt Greenwood that theres a Lt. who drinks a lot in T.R.'s and that he frequently gets plastered and pisses his pants at the bar. Its true, heard it today.
look at the stain under the bar stool its true
Im hitting the medical.
Gun grabber says: "You can take the man out of SOS but you will NEVER be able to take the SOS out of the man."
I think I'm going to vomit.
I accidentally swiped in with my gambling boat VIP card and hit three 7's on the swipe machine!
Anybody know where I have to go to collect my winnings?
See Ahmeen for your winnings. 50/50
Whenever the gas attendant requires me to pull my ID card I pop open the hood and motion him to check the fluids. Because it he uses your card to swipe for the gas then its your ass in the sling if the engine ceases for lack of oil. If he uses his card, then it's on him.
DNA Samples from all the police in case of a 911 type attack? Sure the city could care less that we have no protections, no plans, useless radios and flashlights, but now that we're dead they want to be able to identify us! What for they wouldnt be paying our families any money. They'd just gig us for being AWOL!
And Im sure if we gave DNA they would only use it for good and NEVER for evil. I'll give my DNA when every mutt with an IR number gives theirs first.
THE DNA FILE WILL ONLY BE USED WHEN HIS MISSES INFORMS HIM SHE'S PREGNANT. HE'S LEARNED VERY QUICKLY TO BLAME THE POLICE. WHOS UR DADDY
1. The superintendent has no control over hiring process (recruits promotions etc) that is decided by City Hall-Personal Dept.
2. Superintendent can not change random testing procedure-Sworn members are by urine sample and random, unless there is a specific complaint. Recruits are another matter they are not covered by contract.
You are so wrong about that, they do record the exact time and location where you swipe
WRONG
I havent swiped in over 6 months. The time keeper position will be hard to keep filled if they even try to implement swiping.
Hey bosses...why not put as much emphasis on boosting moral?

CHARLIE WILLIAMS 1ST DEPUTY TINA SKAHILL IN CHARGE OF PATROL
1/31/2008 09:24:00 PM
No, you have sucked his ass long enough and guess what, it has been a waste. He will NOT be the First Deputy and you can bet the rest of this year's salary on that! I do believe Dep. Skahill will be put in charge of patrol though, but Charlie for First Deputy, NOT. I think the new Supt. is trying to get rid of all the fucked up old timers that piss on the troops and smile in their faces.
MM
Kinda sorta off-topic, butt since sum othas is postin' 'bout DNA...
...seein' dat our Temp. Supt. done gone, can I becum leftenant now?! Daddy told me I woodn't half to weight dis long, now I'm gettin' antsy in duh pansty!
Any ways, duh sooner weeze get back to duh old ways of doin' thangs 'round here duh betterer for me. Can't weight to get back to 010 and show 'em how to due thangs...
sure a lot of you can pass the fitness test, ok what s your advantage? you can run and chase down a one bagger, good for you. the problem is you come to us fatasses because you don't have any common sense when it comes to writing paper.. i read and return tens of reports weekley because all these young in shape alledgedly college educated officer can't spell, write a cohesive thought, and have no pride in their work.. they want to sit around and talk about their great arrest, and they turn in a report that would make a billy goat puke.
there are plenty of young coppers who write great paper, just like there are plenty of fat asses that are more than just a waste of space.
The reason the city and the department get away with so much is because we as police can never agree on anything, we are the first ones to tear each other down and can never get on the same page, so until that day the city will always win...
As soon as I get the age I'm out of this rat hole.

You will be dead in 10 years.
Gun Grabber that was the greatest post ever.
Almost 200 comments later, the fools on this job are still running in circles around the computer in their parents' basement screaming in rage.
Dear Lord, the people on this department are dumb.

It disheartens me to see some officers post on this blog that because we will have to swipe in and out they won't do any work. We owe it to the citizens of Chicago to do our job my fellow officers. The citizens shouldn't have to suffer because some white shirt exempt or the mayor or Jody Weiss made this decision. Remember, we took an oath of office and even though it sucks, we should still do our job.

then the citizens owe it to their kids to parent.
DNA Samples
Civil rights violation?
So what...stay late and fill out that slip.
**I think this is the only way to do it.
We "Used to" eat the time that we stayed over and the bosses "Used to" be able to take care of you by saying hey, take it on the end tomorrow. Well that can't happen anymore. So slips for no lunches, slips for staying late no matter how long the time is. When Daley sees how much $ he saved when he left us alone, he might re-think this. Hopefully everyone will have the balls to go along with it.
From the Web:
Police have the legal authority to ask people to submit to voluntary DNA swabs, so long as no one is required or coerced in any way to provide such a sample.
Requiring individuals who have not been convicted of any crime to turn over their DNA, without a court order and without strict safeguards on data security is a particularly egregious invasion of privacy. Providing genetic information is far more invasive than a fingerprint, and provides personal information that is particularly subject to abuse by either government agencies or the private sector.
THE FIRST SHOT HAS BEEN FIRED BY J-FED
**JFed hasn't made any decisions yet. His first day is today. The swiping in came from the Mayor. Heard it from an exempt.
All you folks that work late, after Graphic Arts goes home, Make sure you put in OT slips if you have to go down on your off time to get a new ID :)
Each swipe machine in our building has a different time on it. Yea they're accurate (Sigh)
It is true. The Lt. has his own bar stool at TR'S. Everybody who goes there once in awhile knows not to sit on that piss soaked bar stool. It is reserved for him, unless you don't mind sitting on piss. He lives in the attic above the bar and still can't make it up there.
Gun grabber says: "You can take the man out of SOS but you will NEVER be able to take the SOS out of the man."
Get a life meat-head.
swipe or no swipe whatever! I work 8 for 8 in the district! The D-unit is up in arms worried that they will actually ahve to work before overtime and be on time! Lets get it on! But hope the city plays fair with all the clouted kids and units!
The Keesing Bandit says---
I have lots of DNA for you.
Now, kees me you fool!!!
Turns out that was Starks last jab at working coppers!
What an Asshole!
Dugan's a top notch boss. The deputy is the real police and is definately appreciated by the men and women under his command. J-Fed, come by and see how the Area is run. We invite you. The stats of the workers speak for themselves. Dugan is a great boss and I think he leads by example. In this transitional period, J-Fed needs to see how real police work is done and should be open for critasism and debate and appreciate the numbers that area 1 and other areas procude. Don't attempt to fix something that aint broken as some would say. Seems like the more these units do such as area 1, the more the dept ties there hands from doing what there good at. J-Fed, come to our roll calls with an open forum; we invite you - believe me. the working police truley support your ultimate goal on this job.
