The merits must be getting nervous.
This is good!!!!
Wow my source was good! I just mispelled his name in the earlier thread, Pete Brust the former Fed is running that new Bureau.
j-fed your first exempt came from the 5th floor. you are now an official member of daley's tools. be an OW Wilson..he took his 3 yr contract and told city hall to shove it. u are a tool of his now and will be used by him and the aldercreatures...bad moves there j-fed.
If true this is good news.
Thank you Jesus!!!
We are SAVED from Tina Skahill...
Things will not be THAT bad now....
But Bea Cuello....?
Very intersting pick to say the very least - very interesting indeed.
Is it true the female commander from the 010th Dist is a goof or what ?
Hooray for Cuello!!!
Where's my bureau? At least give me a davenport or hoosier cabinet...
IAD is now the Bureau of Professional Standards, it looks like it will be tripled in size too.
So no more Maher either?
Shields is Area 2 Deputy Chief. Anyone know anything about him?
Boy is this diverse, yes, very diverse. I have only one question, actually I have a thousand but here is one: who is taller Chief Maria or Chief Beatrice and what happened to Chief Tina?
What did O.W. Wilson do when he replaced Timothy O'Connor? What did you expect from J-Fed after he replaced Kline
J-FED I love you! You finally care about our familes, our moral and what it's like to be a working copper in this hell hole city. Thank you.
If Shields got anything then all you idiot dreamers that think this new guy is so great really have your heads way up your asses. Let's hear about what a great reformer J-Fed is. What a fucking joke. Hey for all you goofs that need to feel good and dream all this shit maybe J-Fed will give us 24 hours on and 48 off and we can live outside the city in Utopia and we will all get M-16s and free work out passes to Ballys and on and on and on. I am amazed at the stupidity and naivety of my fellow oficers. Hey Shields congrats try to keep your dick in your pants ok?
TO: Any active or retired Police Officer
FROM: Nick Nickeas (CPD retired)
SUBJECT: Launch your movie career
Michael Mann (director/producer) is in Chicago filming a new movie "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp as John Dillinger and Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, the movie takes place in 1934.
I am working for Michael on the film and he is looking for male police officers for the movie, there are both speaking and non speaking roles that need to be cast. If you know anything about Michael, you know he is a stickler for realism and since much of the movie takes place in Chicago he wants real Chicago Police Offices in the movie. The age range runs from the 20's to the 60's. They would prefer people under six feet two and 225lbs due to wardrobe restrictions.
It may require one day of shooting or several days. Bring your friends and have some fun with it. Michael filmed "Thief" with James Caan here in 1979, using alot of coppers and its still being shown thirty years later.
Please call Joan PHILO (casting) at 312-924-1840 and mention my name Nick Nickeas and leave your name and number and she will return your call.
Bea Cuello?
Bea Fricking Cuello?
Bea Fricking Cuello, are you fricking kiddin me? She is retarded
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-chicago-police-shakeupfeb16,0,6966777.story
Wow... some big upsets there. A lot of people were banking on Grau.
They couldn't have picked a better person that " Pete ". I worked with him in 014 in the early 70's. Great Cop, Great Dick, Great guy. Congrats "Pete".
Good for Jimmy Jackson. Could not think of a better choice.
Obviously things have not changed with the new guy.
Jackson can hardly speak the English language.
Shields has more baggage than an airport carousel.
Cuello is as dumb as a mailbox.
Things will not and have not changed. Make sure we have an out of town white guy, a black guy who hates whites, and a Hispanic doorknob. BACK TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING
Cuello? Cuello? you gotta be kidding me!
Good riddance to the hacks.
SO LONG RISLEY, NO MORE BOAT RIDES!!!!!
A sweep for Hillards people, guess Caluris and Maher weren't convincing enough. If these are the best we got, we're really in trouble.
My lord, CUELLO a Deputy!!!! Maybe she just became Jody's b--ch!!!!
Only the resumes from Area 4 made it to Jody's office.
How did that happen?
Mike Shields was dep Chief in Detective Division.
Mike Shields is a Deputy Chief of Detectives for Area 2 or Field Group 2
From the Tribune:
"Weis also announced the creation of the Bureau of Professional Standards, which will oversee the police Internal Affairs Division and other units within the department. The bureau will be headed by Peter Brust, former special agent in-charge of the FBI field office in Los Angeles."
HAAA! Weis is going to fatten the police budget even more than Uncle Phil unless he starts chopping bullshit spots.
DIG DEEPER INTO YOUR POCKETS TAXPAYERS!!
Got rid of all the Cline guys and put in all Daley people. Wow this guy really changed things. More of the same. To all you that thought things would change this is Chicago. The players maybe different but its the same game.
Cuello is oaky, who the hell are the rest? Are tehre any white men in that group? It sounds like two black men and a female hispanic...are we playing the politics game again Jody??
Mr.Shields was the Deputy Chief of Detectives for Field Group A (Area One and Two).
good ridance "Chaz" Williams, biggest a-hole boss on this job. Sorry to see Grau go seemed like a nice guy.
Can't see why those particular bosses.
A veritable rainbow coalition! Sure to appease the most delicate of sensibilities!
And this darling tidbit:
"In dipping down to the district commander ranks, Weis said he is sending a message to the troops that upward mobility is not only possible it will happen under his regime." (Better luck if you meet the 'correct' criteria. Oh, and are also already a member of the exempt ranks.)
How does that song by The Who go again?
"Meet the new boss...."
Enjoy retirement Hiram, you deserve it you were a great boss.
Now, why did the Trib. in the Metro section put a picture up of a fire crew and state that they saved the people in Cabrini? WTF it was Police that saved those people!! I am sick and tired of those lazy asses stealing all thunder of the Police. How many times a night do we hear "Check it out cause fire isn't responding, just let them know if you need them"? The only actual first responders are the Police and the Paramedics. I am also sick and tired of the media here constantly bashing us, and what is up with the FOP laying down being the Mayors bitch? Most of us know when you deal with a shithead on the street, the minute you back down and are decent to him you become his lil pushover. Seeing as that is what the members of the FOP have become for the mayor, where they pushovers on the street? $25 million to rehab a fucking fountain, $227 million to put flat screen tv's in CTA buses which will be gone in a week, and we don't have a fucking contract!!!
Commander Jackson, Great boss! Wish nothing but the best for that man. He looks out for his people so J-Fed alright in my book.
' J-FED REALLY PUT HIS VALENTINES DAY KISS ON THAT ONE'
James Jackson will be the department’s new 1st Deputy Superintendent; Beatrice Cuello will be the new Deputy Superintendent of Patrol; Michael Shields will be the new Deputy Superintendent over Strategic Deployment; Steve Peterson will be the new Deputy Superintendent over Investigative Services, and Pete Brust, former Special Agent in Charge, Los Angeles Field Office, a 22-year veteran of the FBI, will head up a new bureau, the Bureau of Professional Standards, which will encompass several functions such as IAD, and Training.
I would like to thank Hiram, John, and Charlie for decades of service and commitment to this department. They served with honor and distinction and they will be missed. They represent the very finest in law enforcement tradition. Please join me in thanking them for their many years of service to all of you. I would also like to thank Acting Deputy Superintendent Frank Limon for his service in an acting capacity, one of the most difficult positions there is. Frank will return as Chief of Organized Crime.
I am looking forward to working with this new management team to serve all of you, and all of the outstanding members of the Chicago Police Department. We have many challenges and opportunities, and I promise you that we will work diligently to take this department to the next level.
Thank You
Jody Weis
Beatrice Cuello are you kidding me? what about her past when she bartended at 39th and western. dirty little girl, it pays to be in LAPA
BEVERLY-MT GREEWOOOD IS UNDER SEIGE HEY COPS GET ON THE BALL
Word from HQ: Grau's retirement will become effective in June so he can reach 60. Also, I heard that Debbie Kirby has accepted a demotion to Lt.
Good for Peterson. Good people.
Jackson and Peterson top notch! Good for them!
Wow. Any hope or excitement for J-fed on my part was killed reading this news. Bowed down to all the political pressure to select a black man for first dep, and a hispanic woman to run b.i.s. and he even found time to give one of his fed buddies a 170,000 dollar job. Its official J-fed has no balls. If he ever comes to my roll call the only question I'll ask him is "How hard is it for you to sit down with Daley's hand up your ass." Nothing but a puppet for the corrupt machine. Disgusted!
OFF TOPIC:
Has anybody else noticed an extra 4-5 dollars more on their pay checks?
DS GRAU
Thanks for a job well done!!!
and
Many years of hard work!!!
Word has it a two certain Sgts and a PO from 011 Days has put in the first request to work the "NEW" all male prostitute sting team.
It seems the wild westsiders wont Know the difference out on the corner of Cicero/Roosevelt. Sgt B has the wigs all picked out and Sgt K is oiling up the lucky PO AS WE SPEAK..
still lost.. (with out JJ).. in Fillmore
Decapitations, massacres at 35th; SCC members calling for the guillotine/mounting of heads!
Whats this blog coming to?
Hopefully Maher is the next out the door. Ding Dong the wicked witch is dead!!!
Rainbow coalition. African american real police, Hispanic waitress, joke look at the dump of the p/o because of aldermanic pressure and a white maniac.,
Maher should be dumped immediately
Hallejuia!!!!! Jackson good guy!! Cuello VERY heavy...husband is Commander of B/A...Hmmmmmm??? Peterson Good guy..demands work!! Mike Shields...don't know much about him...if he qualified for that sopt?? and if the answer is yes...how so? this NEW bureau created is something along the lines of OPS...beware...I was told that J-Fed stated at his meeting that "You are no longer needed at your positions" meaning that there is no need for so many Deputy Chiefs...sorry to say...He's RIGHT...we don't need 20-30 Deputy Chief's.....just a lot of fat and glad it got trimmed.Jimmy Jackson is a very stand up guy and hard worker...J-Fed made the right moves...African American 1st Dep., and a FEMALE HISPANIC Dep/Patrol!! What can possibly go wrong?? LOL...He's definately a politician!!
good riddance
I Love IT!!!
Now these "other" exempts are going to be given the choice to retire or be demoted to their career service position. Some ADS' may now be commanders in 10 or 11 :) Ha Ha Ha
Just heard that Kirby is now a lowly field LT. Just what she deserves. I expect that life will be very hard for her until she joins the KMA club and leaves. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.
Charles Williams GONE!
Wow! That one came from the bleachers. Looks like there's a new Sherrif in town and his name is Jody with his new First Deputy Jimmy!!
...these appointments show only one thing...that Jody will be a puppet for the mayor...too bad... I was willing to give this guy a chance...
Risley, Grau, Williams were already at the pension this morning. They were told last night to "se la vie"
Boyce also gone , he was the chief of staff, more to follow.....
Jody's fixing it !
Hey SCC, Watch out!! J-Fed's new IAD guy Peter Brust was the head of the cybercrime division in LA FBI. I'm sure he will be mining your site for info and IP Addresses. Beware!!!!!
And that means what to this po that has no clout and doesn't want any? Like am I supposed to be sad for the bosses who didn't get picked or something?
W O W.
Well daley is still in power.
What a fuckin joke.
I'm sure he and Mr. Jackson have a lot in common. I believe he jpw said he is going to pick a person that could also be a friend.
I guess he hasn't read all the comments about S. PETERSON and how he gives police killers a free walk.
W O W.
I hope this list is just a rumor, because if not then we're really in for a comedic ride for the next 4 years or so.
Oh well, bring in the clowns!!!!
OFF TOPIC:
Things to consider about this great "economic stimulus" check we'll all be getting this summer (it's not all it's cracked up to be):
1. It's an advance on next years return. So, whatever you get this summer, you'll get that much less next year. Cool, huh?
2. It's based on your filing for 2006. So, if you had a kid or two in 2007, they don't count towards the formula.
3. Expect the check anywhere between July 23rd and Sept 24th. It's based on the last two of your SS# (00 - Jul 23rd ; 99 - Sept 24th)
You're gonna get anywhere between $300 and $1800 depending on income and dependents.
For example,
Single, no kids = $300
Married, 2 kids GI of $80,000+ = $1800
My suggestion if you don't need the cash too badly: put it in something that gets a little interest till you get next years return. That way at least you can make a couple bucks off it.
SCC please pass this on to all.
I got this info from my tax accountant, so it's legit.
Yup true story. FBI guy Brust placed as head of new unit, and one more FBI guy (Daly) yet to be placed.
Congratulations JJ-
One heck of a boss, One heck of a guy. Never thought we would see changes that are good for working police.
011th Dist. Ranger
Goodbye Charlie, don't let the door hit you in the ass, you pompous ass.
Dear Forced-to-retire-hacks,
I hear Wal-Mart is taking applications.
Sincerely,
J.P. Weis
Grau got back his Lt. star. needs to stay 3 months for insurance, then he'll go. Talk is he will be putting in furlough, t.d. etc.
THE DREAM TEAM? NOT AT ALL.
SAME OLD, SAME OLD. ABSOLUTELY.
J Fed is a Daley's punk bitch. He is nothing but a puppet for the Da theif Daley. There is no way in hell he made any of these moves on his own. He is punk FBI agent who will destroy this department way before his 3 years are up.
All moves were politcally correct.
Morale just went down a couple more notches!!
Way to go CAVEMAN!!!
F - this...where is our contract!!!!!!!
It's unfortunate that exellent boss' like Grau have been slapped in the face again while the typical SSI and Our Lady of the Cadillacs members prosper as usual..... That's just the way it is here I guess. Well sorry to loose Grau, what a gentleman, who was also respected by he rank and file. Thats something that can't be said about his sucessor.
Deputy Chief of Patrol Mike Shields, former Area Four Homicide Detective, Sergeant in ? a hot working district, same as Lieutenant, etc. Good, low-profile, hard-working guy.
Good luck Commander Jackson! This man was a great boss in 011. Hopefully he remembers the beat guys in 011 and brings me back some KOOL-AID! Ohhhh Yeeeeaah!
Supt was WRONG
Feel what you may for these bosses. I have my own opinion, but after serving this department for many many years did they deserve to end their careers this way? By throwing them to the wolves in the media basically dumping them?
Weis is apparently reading this blog and listening to unconfirmed opinions and certain individuals who rant and rave because of their own shortcomings and inability or desire to pass a promotional exam. I don't know any of those bosses myself so I have no interest in them but I know that after I serve my time on this job I don't want to leave that way. Shame on Weis for not showing this men any respect.
So far so good. Excellent changes!!!! Just a piece of advice Superintendent; it seems you are boosting morale a bit with these changes. I here alot of coppers applauding them. If you want to boost morale futher, do not implement that rediculous swipe order. We are not factory workers to be punching in and out!!
Lotsa changes--
Jimmy Jackson--not a bad choice
Bea Cuello---not a good choice
Screaming Skull--Good detective--knowledgeable--can he handle it?? time will tell.
Baby Boy Shields--spent enough time in purgatory for his indiscretion, looking forward to good things from him.
Too bad there weren't a few others thrown from the train, like Maher.
Risley--Bye bye.
Williams--double bye bye.
Grau--Sorry to see you go.
One regret-BIFF retired before I could hear about J-Fed asking him for his papers.
Does any of this mean that life will get better for the average patrol officer?
I didn't think so.
The bloodletting continues; ADS positions to be axed; responsibilities to be assumed by Commanders. Commander rouette to begin today. Valentine's day massagre and black friday all rolled into one life altering event.
A new bureau created....Just what we need...EVEN MORE BRASS in their own little fiefdom....
And to think that there are motherf@#$ers out there that care if J-Fed wears the uniform. He can wear my underwear if he wants, this guy rocks.
UM I DONT GET THE JOKE. LETS SEE PROMOTED ARE JACKSON(ACTION),CUELLO(SHOT EM UNARMED),PETERSON (NORTHSIDER) ,SHIELDS(MY HAT IS BIGGER THAN THE REST OF ME). JODY WHATS THE PUNCH LINE, "SOS GUYS" (FINANCIAL CRIMES/MONEY LAUNDERING / AUDITING AND INTERNAL CONTROL)
Kudos to Shields, Peterson, and Cuello and good GOODBYE to Risley you will NOT be missed.
Who are these people? Never heard of them.
does anyone know who is front runner is to lead the 010th dist?
The official press release can be found here:
http://egov.cityofchicago.org/webportal/COCWebPortal/COC_EDITORIAL/suptstaffchanges.pdf
I am sure that only tells part of the story.
All I can say is be careful what you wish for. Why do I feel like the ship that sank and is on the bottom may fall even deeper into a chasm.
Let's see what has change
People dumped and promoted on a Friday before a holiday....same!
Black first Deputy....female Hispanic Deputy....sounds like the PC connections.....same!
hire an old friend for a high paying exempt position.....same!
I think that the only thing that has change is the names of the players.............
Beatrice, you realize the CPD is a semi-military organization. Never heard "managment team" ever used in the services.... except for her, the other members of the COMMAND STAFF seem sensible.
IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Cleaning house,
1st stop=
3510 S. Michigan
2nd stop=
1300 W. Jackson
3rd stop=
ALL C.A.P.S. Offices, starting with Sandra Day's (the whole caps thing is nothing more than smoke-n-mirrors anyway)
Wait. The Sun-Times article says that Harrison District murders are down by 25 from last year.
That's impossible. We all know it's impossible, because when people move out of projects, they move to surrounding neighborhoods where they wreak havoc. I've heard it a thousand times here.
There's been no demographic change in Harrison, so it's impossible that the murder rate could have gone down.
Obviously this is the newspapers getting everything wrong again. Cancel your subscriptions! Don't let them get away with insinuating that the police in Harrison are doing some things right!
If you stood Chief Maria and Chief Beatrice on top of each other they together be amost 5' 2".
Where did these people come from? What a collection of WEIRDOS. I could have found a "just an odd" group at Belmont and Halsted at 1am on a Friday night.
I had hopes but now I look forward to the circus.
Funny, political correctness has finally taken over the Dept. wholesale. Goodbye and Good luck to all that are left when this Dept. had policemen.
Cuello? Cuello?? The same Cuello that was obliviously walking infront of the line of fire at the HBT incident On 29th and Sawyer a year or so ago??? HAHAHAHAHHA
Chuckie Williams....spent most of his career in IAD, and spare time slapping his wife around. Then gets made Commander....of Public Housing no less where he shows off his Police prowess by beaching his city car on a median at housing south trying to make a u-turn seeing a real criminal for the first time....then to make matters worse, he jumps on the air and demands that the dispatcher send him a tow truck..."right now, Im a Commander!" Ive never met J-Fed, but if there ever was a sorry P.O.S. that didn't deserve to wear the uniform, Chuckie Williams would be in the top 5 list!
Hey, SCC,
Lately you've had so many comments that you seem to have trouble keeping up and getting things up in a timely way.
I'd love to help moderate the comments for you. I've got a lot of time on my hands, and I'm very familiar with the subject matter.
If you want the help, e-mail your blogger password to hgrau@hotmail.com.
so much for all you guys who thought j-fed was doing the right thing by having grau as 1st. to bad king richie already knew who he was going to pick for first. and all the other spots for that matter. just shows you nothings changed and nothing will..
Bureau of Professional Standards???
What the hell is that? The New IAD????
Holy Exchange Batman!!!
One for one clout babies. Three months ago J-fed mentioned he would make changes. Apparently, his changes are friends of his who he met while working with the FBI/CPD Taskforce which 99.9 % of all personnel on this Department will never have a chance to get into.
Let’s look at their CPD qualifications:
1. They all had clout before meeting J-fed. And at least for the next three years...until they get dumped by the new Supt to replace this guy.
2. They all have a Master’s Degree paid for by City taxpayers.
3. They all are fresh faces with new perspectives and really understand the needs of the rank-in-file from their personal experiences while working in specialized units.
4. One of them has thirty-six years on the job. Wow...I am very impressed with this choice! Prior experience; commander of airport, loves dogs went to FBI Academy.
5. Seems like the First likes working in the 004th District a lot. It also helps to work in the 011th District where Carothers lives. Do you think the chairman had any influence here since Starks came from the same place?
6. The three youngest vets each have over twenty years of experience and enjoyed working in the Organized Crime Division. Again, most of us will never see ourselves working there in OCD.
7. I noticed that they omitted, except for one, going to the FBI Academy on the press release. Wonder why? Go there if you think you can. Do you think clout gets you a seat in a classroom down in Quantico,Virginia?
8. They all practice Customer Based Leadership especially the vet from A/2 who likes to shout at subordinates.
9. Looks like P-fed is a Federal clout baby. Wonder if he’s getting $300,000.00 a year too?
10. Watch out for P-fed. He’s the one that you will discover to be the most interesting. The others are predictable.
Commander Jackson please treat the department like you have treated the 11th district and they will love you. Also the same for you too Bea. Peterson is a whole other story. Only time will tell. Shields will do fine as long as he keeps it in his pants, he knows what I mean, another good boss.
Meet the new clout bosses, the same as the old clout bosses.
Best part of this is that Maria Maher has let everyone know, how she can't stand Peterson. Now he is her boss! Intresting how shit turns around, good luck maria. Your going to need it. HAHAHAHA
Remember boys and girls, you can motherfuck people one day and they could be your boss the next.
If the appointment of Beatrice Cuello to the rank of Deputy Superintendnet of the Bureau of Patrol is any indication of Superintendent's Weis' management style we're all you know what.
Williams was planning on retirement if he didnt get the sup spot so no big suprise there.
RISLEY? Who the fuck cares? What a pompous self-serving goof. Maybe an indictment is in conjunction with the SOS crew?
Time for them to retire or get indicted anyway.
Some people are crying big tears since their clout is saying buh-bye.
I'll reserve judgement but sure looks like political correctness to me. The mayors hands are all over it. You think this guy is not a hack for the mayor? Sunday he said the mayor believed in accountability as does he; if that was the case he should have asked for the mayors resignation.. To wit: Hired truck, relatives in our underfunded pension fund, kid sucking from the tit of the city, all his friends getting rich off the tax payers and the mayor didn't know.....Please! Just another hack!
All good choices for new leadership. Glad to see the new blood rewarded for career service. Looks like J-Fed did his homework on these moves.
What, no comments... I guess there ain't a lot time for comments, when people are packing their bags...
Scc Dude! Where are the Comments?
I know you have a life but this is a big day.
i presume they will just be figure heads. The black guy, the hispanic female, the white guy. Why no asians?! With Wiess being both Supe and OEMC chief, who will really be in charge?
Dear John Risley,
We will all miss your empty-headed,
mindless, never had an intelligent thought, my way (cline's Way) or the highway managment style. You had the leadership skills of a panicked girlscout and the brains of a hampster. You and your terrorism expertise will be deeply missed. Maybe you can go to Bill Kushner and beg him for a job in Berwyn. I think he has a broom for you to push. You aren't qualified for that job but that's never stopped you before.
Congrats to Bea Cuello, I know some of you are probably upset about this choice, but give her a chance> I really think she turn out to a good choice......
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT THE FACT THAT J-FED DIDNT TELL MIDGET MAYOR WHAT HE DID TILL AFTER THE FACT WINS HIM A POINT WITH ME.
NOW HOW BOUT SOME CARS AND PDTS PLEASE???????? AND ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON CUELLO??
J-FED I love you! You finally care about our familes, our moral and what it's like to be a working copper in this hell hole city. Thank you.
**Slow down!!! This isn't about US, it's about HIM.
Things will not and have not changed. Make sure we have an out of town white guy, a black guy who hates whites, and a Hispanic doorknob. BACK TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING
*****************************
LOL!

LOL!
Is Tobias next? He cannot survive this change. he has too much baggage. Academy needs change. Too much deadwood with do nothing staff. Few doing the work of many. Please select a real leader to make the necessary changes at academy. Goodbye to Lt. RP. Enjoy job as field LT. So much for the promises that were made. They need a leader for inservice section. Bye bye Sgt GS. FTO section in shambles. Goodbye Sgt L(smiles)!!
Best academy in country! BS. We need help! Also look at promotional practices of civilian staff at academy. Something stinks.
We will see if JFED is in the Mayor's pocket when it comes to
Sgt, I mean Deputy Keating . If this guy lands on his feet with an exempt . The whole fuckin' process
sucks. That means that the aldercreatures will have a say also. Only time will tell.
Hmmm. Peterson. Maher. Do not like each other. What will happen?
Never trust a beady eyed FBI agent.
Probable another Robert Hanson, another fine FBI boss....presently doing life.
BTW J/Fed, lose yout uniform hat or buy one that fits, you look like a total asshole.
Is that the same Cuello who killed a guy at 57 & Pulaski for being drunk and trying to get into the wrong house. She and the other two dollies shot him numerous times and the city paid again in a wrongful death suit. way to go, then meritorious Lt.
A BIg city Department with the Deputy Super of Patrol.... her name is "AUNT BEA"
LOL!!!!
About 10 years ago, a friend of mine was responding to a home invasion in progress call. The guy was high on PCP and trying to break through the front door of a house -- if I remember correctly, on a Sunday afternoon. My friend drew her weapon but the guy did not respond to commands. Somehow he got a hold of the barrel of the gun and they struggled over it, with him trying to shot her. She shot him and he acted like he didn't feel it at all. She was with a rookie who stood at the bottom on the stairs yelling into the radio and not even giving the location. Bea Cuello was a new sgt. in 8 at that time. She arrived at the scene, quickly assessed the situation, shot and killed the perp, possibly saving my friend's life. Acted like it was just another day on the job too. Didn't act like she was a hero.
I don't know if some of you have valid complaints about her or not -- or if you just have to complain regardless of who it is. But I will always give her the benefit of the doubt based on what she did that day.
I will tell you one thing there are no GED's in that bunch. I fore see a lot of smart Lt's becoming Commanders this week.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT THE FACT THAT J-FED DIDNT TELL MIDGET MAYOR WHAT HE DID TILL AFTER THE FACT WINS HIM A POINT WITH ME.
**The mayor & JFed are NOT buddies. The mayor had no choice but to pick a Fed. The mayor knows that the games will no longer be played and he hates it.
You have not seen them together since JFed took office. The mayor and Alderman Carothers were both absent from the Sup's first recruit graduation. There's no love loss here.
What the hell are you talking about. Jimmy Jackson was the biggest A-hole when he was Commander of A/1. Guy went to the Dana Starks school of speed reading!
Wasn't Pete Brust a drummer for the Beatles at one time?
I am very disappointed with his selections. It appears that all his selections were politcally motivated. Did you read their qualifications on the press release? This is the best he could come up with? My morale meter just went back in the shitter.
Word is that this is just the beginning, more dumps among the chiefs and deputy chiefs will be coming next payday- 1 March.
Goodbye Duggan, Caluris, Skahill, Maher, and Chasen. We can only hope that J-Fed brings up good bosses like John Farrell, Eddie Griffin, Jerry Carroll, Dennis Keane, and John Kupczyk to fill the command vacancies.
Well Maher may be a micromanager, but putting 2 stars on Peterson's shoulders was a huge mistake. Apparently no one told dunce-fed how Peterson was dumped from O'Hare to a pay-no-mind retirement spot in area 4, a deliberate move to prevent retaliation by his then buddy townsend. Since Peterson went outside the department in order to get a few people dumped that he couldn't get dumped from within, he went on to make a fool out of himself and Maurer at the hearing by contrary testimony to what his buddy Maurer said. Caught in a lie, the city lost yet more money on that screwup and secured himself a desk job in an office the size of my toilet until another FED boy came along to rescue his dying career.
No matter, once again given the opportunity to think he's god, he'll likely do the same job there as he did at O'Hare and Area 4. Rough having to say goodbye to the best detectives area 4 had since they refused to work for a lunkhead. Now he's gonna go after Maher, since he never liked her or any other women on the job, and he's gonna try and play god again.
It's never a good idea to let jarheads think they're command material. They generally lack the intelligence to lead but rather choose to play out their petty desires which in the end, is gonna bite J-putz and Peterson in the ass.

Am I the only one to hear this so far?
Jimmy Jackson is not only a great policemen bu a stand up guy. Its simple if your the working police black or white he loves you if your not. He doesnt want anything to do with you. Great Choice!

To you guys that think Jackson is great and going to be a good 1st Dep you got another thing coming. Jackson is a Hillard guy and guess who is advising our new Sup? Thats right Hillard-Hillard made Jackson Sgt,Lt and Cmdr and now 1st Dep. Jackson is all about the struggle. I know from a couple past incidents with him. If you aint black you aint right so be careful my fellow coppers dont step on your horn becuase Jackson will stick it in your ass. Just a word of advice. Almost forgot "Hillard is related to Jackson " now you know.

About 10 years ago, a friend of mine was responding to a home invasion in progress call. The guy was high on PCP and trying to break through the front door of a house -- if I remember correctly, on a Sunday afternoon. My friend drew her weapon but the guy did not respond to commands. Somehow he got a hold of the barrel of the gun and they struggled over it, with him trying to shot her. She shot him and he acted like he didn't feel it at all. She was with a rookie who stood at the bottom on the stairs yelling into the radio and not even giving the location. Bea Cuello was a new sgt. in 8 at that time. She arrived at the scene, quickly assessed the situation, shot and killed the perp, possibly saving my friend's life. Acted like it was just another day on the job too. Didn't act like she was a hero.
I don't know if some of you have valid complaints about her or not -- or if you just have to complain regardless of who it is. But I will always give her the benefit of the doubt based on what she did that day.

??????????????
I think you just described a murder!
Well I just noticed some goof trying to pass himself off as Weis posting the standard fare of crap about the old bosses.
If only that poster knew the actual backgrounds of some of those that were dumped maybe he'd think twice about posting any supporting comments about them in this forum.
Hey "Jody", are you aware "Charles" outright LIED on his application to be superintendent regarding his education? Unlce Tom..er Charles tried to pass himself off as a graduate with a bullshit HONORARY degree to the City, thinking no one would ever check into it since he's got a couple stars on his shoulders.
What a great choice that would have been for the real sup eh? A friggin liar trying to pass off phony credentials in order to get the top spot so he could look down on 3 more people and try to piss on them to make himself feel better.
Get a clue "Jody" about who your patting on the back otherwise you're just like all the rest of the phonies.
And by the way, since your posting to get people to think you're Weis I'll address you as such, take a minute to actually dig up dirt on whom you promote next because a resume of where you've been and who you've blown to get there doesn't mean they're capable of leading anyone other then their driver. In the next round, try not to promote those who've stepped on themselves, fabricated evidence and have generally played themselves to be incapable of command. Do you're homework bud and stop listening to your friends from the FEDS who are doing the same thing you claim you weren't gonna do, and that's promote based on unsubstantiated opinion but rather their actual Merit.
Same shit, different day.
Are the people who leave comments like "J-Fed rocks" and "thanks for restoring morale" on the job? If they are ,the department is in worse shape than i thought.Police should be tough,smart and cynical Not clueless? Good picks? Hard working people? Try Daley people. Nothing in shitcago changes and it never will. The only person who stood up even a little for the rank and file is Grau and he launched him because he dared to get off his knees once and awhile. Quit your dreamin!
Jeez, do you think my job on a beat car, late roll call, is safe? Or do I get bounced for some clout fuck who will soon be moving in and asking how to do a traffic crash report?
Do I have to give up my second locker? It only took me 25 years in patrol to get it.
Really, none of the changes down there at 35th St. will effect me in the least. I still have two incompetent Sgt's who fuck things up every chance they get and a two faced bald and fat Italian American field Lt who will still stab me or anyone else in the back while smiling wide and pretending he's our friend.
It was all bullshit yesterday, it was all bullshit today and it will be all bullshit tomorrow.
Say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss. Show me I am wrong. Please.
Someone please explain to me how this is some big deal. Evey guy that comes in dumps out the last ones people and puts in his people who are more of the same. I hear Peterson is a tool. A bunch of people just bid out of A4 because of him. And don't give me that working police love him b.s. because when you say things like that i know you have never been bent over on this job or have about 2 seconds on.You can have fun on this job and do some good work but if you think some new super or deputy is gonna change your life or give a rats ass about you then I pity you.

HMMMMMMM; Risley and the rest of Crew CLine gone like the command staff on a Friday evening. What about all their people they moved from spots to patrol so that they could claim field experience BEFORE they were meritoriously annointed? I sure hope Sgt KB enjoys his much longer than anticipated stint in 009, or is he counting on his wife (FBI agent) having clout with J-Fed?
Bea was one of the few recruits I had as an FTO (in the figurative sense, of course) that apparently listened....nyuk nyuk nyuk!
To 09:58Pm, you're right on track about Ruthie Webster. She comes off sweet as pie as she lets her sister Sgt.Jennifer M do all the dirty work and come off as the bitch. but don't kid yourself, Ruthie and Jennifer would sell anyone out to get Ruthie that Command spot in 022. Jennifer and Ruthie know how to play the game and get cozy with the male bosses to get good spots and promotions.
I have known Bea Cuello since the late 70's when she tended bar at the old Captain's Quarters. She is one of the nicest, low key people you would hope to know. Listen, everyone has a story, so stop with what you think you know, cause most of you wouldn't make a pimple on her ass. She was a single mom at the time. Now look at her.

How many more useless females do we need in 22? I think RW has enough of them running around in 5 already...
Do not know JG, but, he can not be that bad; and he sure does not kiss ass like RW.
In my book, that means he is a step above RW already.
I got this info from my tax accountant, so it's legit.

Your accountant was wrong! Single no kids with a gross agusted income of 75k you get $600. $300 for each kid! Get a new accountant.
And another thing... I hope Fred Konet gets her spot. A terrific boss and a terrific man.
The real fun will come when all of these open spots get filled... Commanders needed in 010, 011, 017, 022, Area 4. Deputy Chief of Field Group A open also.... stay tuned.
I worked in Area 1 when Cuello shot and killed the drunk trying to get into an old ladies house in the 008th District back in the early 1990's. He was fighting with the two female officers who responded. She arrived to assist as the drunk was attempting to disarm one of the officers. She shot and killed the guy, most likely saving both those officers lives. Never knew her before that, never worked for her after that. But she did a nice job that day, that's a fact.
Getting back to the incident on Pulaski, One Female Sgt, two Female Po's and an unarmed man, At the end, the man is dead, Sgt. promoted to Lt. P.O promoted to Sgt, both merit. The midnight WC was heard to say, if it was males, they would be in county as we speak
Watch for Weis to promote the patrolman in 021 who he spoke to a couple weeks ago in roll call to really drive home his point. the copper is T.P. who has 14 tears on, good cop, sharp, but spends his whole spring, and summer leaving early to play baseball, and drive around in his convertible.
It is embarassing to see how gullible/naive most people commenting are. Obviously, an awful lot of new/young people are falling for the same old line of bullshit. As far as I can see, these new appointee's look the same as they looked from when I came on under Supt. Rice. Regardless, I still would hate to have to work in a factory, so I am not complaining, just taking it all with a grain of salt and looking forward to see what the new contract brings (or doesn't). It is still all who you know or blow!

All of those names would be great choices. Keane, Jerry Carroll, Kupczyk, Eddie Griffin and last and certainly not least John Farrell. Farrell would be an excellent choice for anything, problem is his age. He is at least 61 and maybe 62. I doubt that an accomidation would be made for him to stay like was done for Cronin, but we can hope can't we.

I think you just described a murder!
You're Right!
We do lovingly refer to Cuello in A/1 as "The Executioner" for that one...If you or I had done the same that those gals (although the female PPO did just scream into the radio a bit and piss her pants, not pop the unarmed guy in the head) did that night, we'd be up for parole about now.
As far as J.J as 1st D/S, in A/1 he used to walk around with a book called "Commanderin' for Dummies," which was comprised of pages of crayon-drawn, stick figures..
The "Skull"? I guess fuck up a heater murder of one of our own, get promoted, not dumped..
Yeah, J-Fed, you Alien-Looking MF, "You Rock," all right..
That's why she is called the "Killer B".
To 2/15/2008 10:03:00 PM:
What kind of moron are you? People on this blog defend people like Abbate and minimze what he's doing, then you got a situation where a perp is trying to kill a cop and it's murder to take him out. She was a good cop and she was fighting for her life. Give me a break! Sounds like you got issues with women on the job.
Racist James Jackson, favorite of the West Side Play Reverends replaces another racist. Nothing changes on this job. The rats always win ! Thanks Daley. Lets hope you and your crooked son are in the joint soon, where both of you belong.
J-Fed, it only took a few days for you to become Daley's whore.
What the hell, for almost a million you sold your soul and reputation to that crook. What do you see when you look in your mirror? Not an honorable man, thats for sure !.
J-FED is coming for you house mice and CAPS!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
get in the street like all the rest.
What Shields said to the A/2 gun team..............
He's my guy, take care of him!
Who was he talking about....
Corey Flagg
When the shit hit the fan about Flagg, what did Shields do....he dumped everyone and acted like he never knew Flagg.
Shields was responsible for putting a thief in a spot with little supervision which gave him the freedom to do his bullshit.
Did Shields get hurt, no he gets promoted.
Nick Nickeas.....Good guy ,Good boss.Good to know you're well.
rISLEY,what a piece of SHIT!!!!! It's a good day.
"What the hell, for almost a million you sold your soul and reputation to that crook. What do you see when you look in your mirror? Not an honorable man, thats for sure !."
He see's a little boy in a Policemans Uniform in charge of the 2nd largest Department in the US. He's showing the world in a corrupt criminal public corporation, a Former FBI Agent is put in charge so the thieving can continue to run free from interference.
"Where did these people come from? What a collection of WEIRDOS. I could have found a "just an odd" group at Belmont and Halsted at 1am on a Friday night."
That's exactly where you'd find them as they were leaving Steamworks right around the corner.That's where all major decisions regarding this department are made.
Yes citizens & out of town folk you heard right, CPD orders of business are planned out in a Gay Bathhouse
And another thing... I hope Fred Konet gets her spot. A terrific boss and a terrific man.
TRU dat!
And I always thought the west side would never change!
V.W. Now watcha gonna do?
You gotta work the street now that Grau is gone.
But don't cry like a bitch, the means streets are still here waitin for ya.

WA there Ringo
I am looking forward to working with this new management team to serve all of you, and all of the outstanding members of the Chicago Police Department. We have many challenges and opportunities, and I promise you that we will work diligently to take this department to the next level.
---------------
Challenges and opportunities are exactly what we have here and I for one sincerely hope that we do take this department to the next level. There is no reason we shouldnt be as well trained and as well equipped as NY, LA, or any other major police department in the world.
Take a look at how they ran the SWAT tryouts: thats the only way you're going to get to the next level. Open up these spots citywide for an open tryout and run them legit. You have a much larger talent pool to draw from then. And as for meritorious spots? Make sure theyre a)based on merit, ie, things youve done on the job or things you can bring to the spot, and b) when you assign it, it doesnt pass up someone that is far more qualified. Public safety and officer safety is paramount.
I personally dont know a single name of those that were promoted so I guess Im one of the many still waiting it out and seeing what happens when the smoke clears.
hmmm... didn't anyone else hear that Tobias is also canned back to Lt. and that he's nowhere near 50 yet? Did no one else hear that Kirby over at IAD is also shitcanned?
Am I the only one to hear this so far?
**I've been hearing it as well. But can't confirm it.
Seeing the name Caluris, and hearing he made boss and was not fired,brings back memories of one of the most embarrassing things I had ever heard over the radio. We were having roll call (working tact. in 019)call comes over the air,Caluris and another PO. Squad send us help,were in our car and surrounded by gang bangers.Anyone who ever worked 019,even back then knows the gang bangers ain't real gang bangers. We responded to the call,I believe it was on Belmont to find the Caluris and the other PO cowering in there car. The so called bangers were no more then little kids. What a disgrace. They promoted him????????????
TO 2/15/2008 05:33:00 PM,
You're a fucking idiot. Shields came off the most corrupted detective list in recent memory. The Department stopped promoting off the list with less than one-hundred dicks made. The heavy weights were all under sixty on the list: Sheilds, Salemi, Gross-and it took arbitration to get the list re-instated in order to promote the nobodys like myself who nearly got it stuck in our ass when they tried to pull the list down. Weis is a tool and would never had been a special agent had the hiring standards not been relaxed to allow-in "fitness buffs" over attorneys and accountants. Chicago gets what it deserves. Stop putting yourself at risk-do nothing. Glenwood Colorado is looking awful good these days...
WAS SEISER TOLDE OF THE CHANGES?
After reading all comments, it seems only a few people get it. We're not looking at the big picture here, folks.
Jody is coming in here and preaching reform. He's a retired FBI boss who used to work in Chicago with the CPD/FBI task force and the first thing he does is promote his buddies and some minorities. Big fucking surprise there!
He works for one of the most corrupt mayors in the country who should have been at the top of his investigation list while he was here in Chicago as a Fed.
Apparently, turning a blind eye has payed off enormously.
How is he supposed to "root out corruption" when he has aligned himself with one of the most corrupt political machines in history.
Sorry people, hope all you want that J-Fed is the future of this department, I for one will continue to keep my eyes and mind open.
It's business as usual here in Chi-town. The southsiders call the shots, the northsiders keep it looking pretty and the minorities get the occasional bone tossed their way.
Where's M. Ryko when you need him?
Lt. Richie Scotch breath is now D/S of the new Bureau of Tavern Monitoring. He will be U/C drinking in bars to throughout the city to see that the smoking ban is enforced. His monthly bar tab of $2000 will be paid by the city subject to increase if needed. Congrats Deputy Richie you drunk bastard.
you guys did not really think that daley would bring in anyone that did not explicity agree that daley is the guy in charge, did you?
that would be awful naive of you.
it would be a major shock if the guys that get promoted to top spots are not daley loyalists. thats just the way things work.
Shields is a stand up guy for the p.o.'s. I have been at several incidents were I was on of the first cars on the scene. After all of the Bosses kissed his ass he came over to me to ask me what happened.
I took this to mean he wanted to cut through the layers that may have been added to the event and get it first hand.
Another incident was an HBT job several years ago. It was January, his first concern when he arrived was that all P.O.'s were ok. Then he made sure those on the outter perimeter were rotated every 15 mins. or so to keep us warm.
After 22 years on, I can say not many bosses worry about the blue shirts in this manner.
Having said all of that, he is a boss, and will make decisions that p.o.'s may not like.
Finally, I don't know him and he doesn't know me.
On the other hand, Risley is garbage!! ood riddance.
certain individuals who rant and rave because of their own shortcomings and inability or desire to pass a promotional exam. I don't know any of those bosses myself so I have no interest in them but I know that after I serve my time on this job I don't want to leave that way. Shame on Weis for not showing this men any respect.
2/15/2008 05:38:00 PM
If you were so smart your grammar wou;d be better. "this men"?? Try THESE men, sarg!
Hey boys and Girls,
If any of you thought that Daley was out of the picture, you are not the great super sleuth you think.
Except for Grau, It's good to see the others sent packing.
A lot of people are bitching about the new appointees. I think Jody made smart moves. His new "diverse" command staff will garner support from the community for more radical changes down the line. I'm holding judgment for a least a year. It will take time to fix this sinking ship.
Looks like Ron Skrip has a whole new set of asses to kiss.
Better hope there's a few extra dumpster fires so you can make a little O.T. to pay for the tickets to all these up coming promotion parties.
"You goin' to Bea's party? You goin' to Bea's party?

well that pick of people sure looks like some daley political bs. things never change i guess. hey jody glad to see your falling in line listening to your crook boss. thanks for nothing !!!
Sounds like you got issues with women on the job.
2/16/2008 01:20:00 AM
Not my original post, but in reply to this: yes I do. Issues with disparate treatment. Issues with "taking care" of them. Issues with women being allowed to shoot an unarmed offender when there are THREE of them there, but men go to prison for tuning someone up that is fighting them. Issues with promotion of "protected classes" just because they are, and issues with this being socially acceptable. Aldercreep Carothers openly advocated and supported this in the last Trib article about this issue, to paraphrase; its a good thing the first is African and the COP is Latina. This shows that the Supe is listening.
Yeah, insert White and Male into any of these racists speeches and they would be screaming like 11 year old girls in a snake den.
The bottom line is simple: when in a position of use of force females have to use more.
