New Bureau
We were actually hoping by "decentralizing," J-Fed was going to eliminate a Bureau, namely Strategic Deployment. The only thing there is TRU, Deployment Operations and the old Special Functions Group.
There's no reason that these things can't be rolled back into thePatrol Division Bureau of Patrol. The only reason they were stripped out in the past was some pissing match between Maurer and Starks and a couple of other gold stars fighting over who controlled what.
This Bureau of Professional Standards though....there are only two units in it:

This Bureau of Professional Standards though....there are only two units in it:
- Education and Training
- Internal Affairs
Both are headed by Assistant Deputy Superintendents which is the level directly below all of yesterday's movement. Like we said yesterday, expect a few days, maybe a few weeks of calm and then a whole bunch of new movement among the Assistant Deputy Superintendents and the Deputy Chiefs. Maybe even a Chief.

Let's not be hasty. You forgot a very important part of Special Functions: Aiport$
Enuff said.
About 4 years ago the Education and Training Division was placed under the Superintendent's Office because people from the detective division and other units would just blow off the Academy A.D.S. and not bother showing to teach classes.(A.D.S. Shaver [Daley's guy] at the time)
In order to maintain control, the Superintendent took control.
NOW.. it's OUT of his hands AGAIN.
This department is like a fuckin' roller coaster going straight to hell.
Let me off NOW!
MORE Bureaus

Is the head of the Helicopter Unit (Harold HOLM)
STILL a Chief's spot making over $160,000 a year ? ?
if it is true that they are getting rid of the street deputies, hopefully they will not make the mistake of letting Pat McNulty leave before his time. he has saved many a copper and truly cares about the policeman and the police dept.
he may enjoy his green bottles but it has never interfered with him doing his job and doing it to the highes degree of professionalism...
Hey SCC, we need your sleuthing expertise. Per the dozen or so text messages I received this past Saturday night, rumor was the following: the new boss had dui roadblocks in 008 & 022, as well as around Dugans to hook up coppers living in/driving thru those districts while over-served. A ploy by a scheming copper to bolster the hatred for J-Fed? A half-truth of run-of-the-mill dui checkpoints to nab non-police drunks? If confirmed, it probably wouldn't suprise us who know what this prick is really about. Hell, maybe a sacrificial lamb (a ppo, perhaps?) getting ass-shafted at a dui checkpoint per the new Sup. would be exactly what the J-Fed Groupies need to see what time it really is. And to all you stupid motherfuckers singing the praises of this bastard just weeks into his tenure, please remove your heads from your ass post-haste. Anybody out there got concrete confirmation of this?? I almost hope it's true. And if it is, I'm glad I stayed in and got drunk tonight before I beat the old lady.
Can anyone verify that IAD is watching cop bars and DUIing Officers when they leave?
oh thats great.... recruits being trained by IAD people.... should be a breeding ground for a bunch of rats!
what about the new bureau of "WE'RE THE REAL POLICE" It's based out of 011. LOTS of hairgel. Deputy Chief of the new unit is the idiot in cowboy boots. Only requirement is every car, and they mean EVERY car brings in at least (1) 2092 a night. In the "WE'RE THE REAL POLICE" unit, you have to have less than 7 years on, wear hair gel, and swear to an oath that you do solemly swear that you are better than every other officer in the CPD. By just merely being there, YOU ARE BETTER! You know more than a guy with 30 years on, and with less than 7 you have seen and done it all! Afterall, "YOU ARE THE REAL POLICE!" You grind it out everyday, you put your livelihood at risk by fudging the paper here and there (dirty red says I found the money), but hey, no one will touch you "YOU'RE THE REAL POLICE!" You have more hair gel than Leno has jokes! You arent too concerned about your Mt Greenwood trailor, because, hey "YOU'RE THE REAL POLICE!" When the "sarge" says jump...YOU SAY HOW HIGH! In the bureau of "WE'RE THE REAL POLICE" we dont follow the rules... we get our dope pinch, ride it out, and fuck everyone else! We're a bit too naive to realize there are greener pasteurs. But we got it good! We're in the bureau of "WE'RE THE REAL POLICE"!
NEWS FLASH, IDIOTS! You are the true retard of this department! Youre making the revs happy, all the while keeping 35th appeased by bringing in nonsense! You are NOT the real police... you are merely a puppet of the Daley machine! So keep it up, puppets! Make yourself feel like the REAL POLICE! But remember, we all get paid the same!
What happened to the talk of these two ADS', Tobias and Kirby, getting demoted?
J-FED learned well from Capone and the Outfit! J-FED engineered his own Valentine's Day Massacre on Grau,Williams & Risley.
J-FED invidiously set these men up with his first exempt meeting which left everyone with the impression J-FED was going to be professional and non-political.
To embarrass Grau as J-FED
did was classless and unprofessional.
Williams was "used" to cut down Starks at the knees and met the same fate. Sorry Charley "You're only as good as
your last envelope."
As to Risley, he had to know he was going to go because he was Fat Phil's guy and eating companion.
J-FED did the little guy on the 5th floor's bidding and chose these top stops from the clout baby commander ranks.
You only make commander on this job if you have clout and get the blessing from the "little guy on the 5th floor."
J-FED did not scour the ranks of Captains and Lts. for those top spots.
Capt. John Farrel was the far SUPERIOR choice for BIS.
I don't know of any black Lts. or Captains that would be a superior choice for 1st Dep.
I also don't know of any female hispanic captains or lts. that would have been a hands down better choice for Chief of Patrol.
Perhaps some other names can be addressed here for those three top jobs.
J-FED showed his true sneaky colors. Remember what he allegedly stated about another agent that had criticized J-Fed. Those words were "Let's take him out!"
J-FED's new nickname is "Take him out Jody!"

When faced with his first major crisis since taking over the reigns of the Chicago Police Department, Supt. Weis has said that grief counselors will be made available in every district in A/3 and selected districts in A/5 when Starbucks closes for three hours on Feb. 26.
"A.D.S. Shaver [Daley's guy] at the time)"
I remember that fat sloppy Judge Ito
look alike. Another worthless civilian ADS in charge of the Academy like that bonestroke jarhead Schenkel.
"Is the head of the Helicopter Unit (Harold HOLM)

Is Lt. Chris Kennedy in Command of them & the Marine Unit?
That would be about right another retired political hack hired @ 160 a year, while Kennedy takes the bs& makes less than him. Classic.
"Mr. SouthSide says---"
I purposely omitted the Starbucks @ 47&Cicero because that's the place my old lady meets her boyfriend from Le Claire Courts to get her morning pick me up...
Jealousy will get you nowhere Mr. Southside!!!!! Starbucks has lots of hot female customers everyday.
Its not the Northsides fault that your southside hillbilly bucktooth women can't afford the coffee at Starbucks.
Go back to Mt. Greenwood, Birdgeport, Canaryville, or whatever inbred jed neighborhood your from and watch Nascar.
I can smell your South Side Stench already. Don't hate us just because the Northside is beautiful!!!
Didn't that young boy from 018, Mike Shields, work in 011? If he did, then it's all much clearer now. He too is an asshat of the highest degree. Thinks he knows it all and is more than willing to remind you of it. Thing is, he doesn't know it all. He doesn't even know that he doesn't know it all. What a young punk!
I'm sure Auditing and Internal Control will come in too. The new guy is in for a treat when he meets Adriane. One piece of advise for him - keep a can of Lysol handy.
OK, here's my two cents...
I think ADS Egan will lose some units in R&D like Policy and Procedure, and Research Administration, along with the Personnel Performance Suite responsibility....These all directly affect the "culture" of the department, which an article said he wanted to control. So, his friend will be gaining some units from BAS, DS O'Keefe will be loosing some.
FYI,
The new Bureau also has Office of Management and Accountability, Auditing and Internal Control (Inspectors), the Court Section, Integrity Unit and Field Monitor.
You can argue about the relative merits of each of these units continued need to exist, but they are there, not just the 2 mentioned
Auditing & Internal Control and Crime Strategy & Accountability will also be under the new Bureau.
geez- 022 has three starbucks they can go to...
Just a note...Frank Limon was relieved of his duties as Acting Deputy Superintendent of Management and Accountability and returned to his former position of Chief of Organized Crime. Is this a signal that M&A will be under the same umbrella as training and IAD? If so, J-Fed has indeed removed a Deputy Sups spot. Good for the city budget, no?
Unless of course he negotiated a LARGER salary for his FIBBIE buddy who will have all those extra responsibilities in addition to IAD. Sound familiar??

Don't forget the Cronin.
jpw have you asked him what he does all day ?
For those complaining about Grau being kicked out, remember that when you are exempt you serve at the pleasure of the supt. whoever that might be. The only job you are entitled to is the rank you earned, lt. You know when you take that big promotion and raise that you could be put back or have to leave when a new supt comes in. Grau could have gone back to lt. but it would screw with his pension.
Wait for the bloodletting at the State's Attorney's Office when Devine's replacement comes in. All the supervisors in the office have to tender their resignation to the new person. And they don't necessarily get to go into the courtroom, they can all be out on their asses.
How bout organizing a "Bureau of
Silly Walks"?
Any drunken footmen available?
Here's a thought, don't get shitfaced if you go out!
Last time I checked, no one is supposed to drive drunk, even us.
I am all for the crackdown, no more dickheads making us look bad in the news when they kill someone.
Commander Ric Flair will get dumped because of the Jefferson Tap Incident..It occured on his watch..........
With this new bureau, anyone know if the ADS at IAD and the academy are on their way out?
Jody's fixing it !

You are ignorant, NO he is not a chief. YOU are so stupid, maybe you could look up his salary on that website like everyone else can...
His job title is Chief Pilot.
someone keeps putting his photo up on the department website as a chief, but he is not and never was a chief.
Question. Can anyone name any boss above the rank of Lt. who at one time was NOT a meritoriously promoted Sgt. or Lt.? Capt.'s rank and above are all merit or politically motivated appointments. Is there anyone out there that made Sgt. and Lt. on their own (without clout, merit) that went on to become a boss? Are there any? If there are any, they should be given a long look to lead this Dept. Can anyone name 1 person who achieved a rank above Capt. who was never a meritoriously promoted Sgt. or Lt. first?

This is the best post I think i've ever read on this blog!! Fuckin funny and SO true!
SCC i'm surprised at u guys. They will have 2 additional "units" one is under Adrienne Stanley which I believe is Auditing etc and the other is under Wayne Guillford (sp) which I believe is the "roving" commander whatever that means so it will "over see" 4 different units. they eliminated another bureau and are implementing the one under FBI Pete whats his name. If you look under department organization on the intranet you will find it
Yes, its true, the roadblocks I'm just not sure who initiated them. Does someone know and I mean really know. We can all speculate that it was Jfed or Jimmy Jackson but who REALLY initiated them?
Can anyone verify that IAD is watching cop bars and DUIing Officers when they leave?
--------------------
If true it sounds like sandbagging up the ass to me.
If we sat out in front of bars sandbagging the judge would scold us and the case thrown out.
Let me off NOW!
You can get off anytime you want.

Thank God! I wasnt sure how I was going to make it but that goes to show you all: Wies understands and is there for us.
On another topic: the DUI roadblocks... I call bullshit on this one. It makes no sense to target police on roadblocks, and to be honest, whats the difference where the roadblocks are set up anyway? 022, 008, 010.. who gives a shit. You dont get jammed up if you dont go out and get shitfaced and start driving anyway, right? Plus, what would Wies have to gain as opposed to what he would have to lose when a copper gets needlessly DUI'ed at his direction. Maybe he's never been the police but Im sure someone has had to tell him how many times a PO pulls over a drunk (that hasnt been involved in an accident and isnt a belligerant asshole) and gives said drunk the 'phone a friend' option rather than the 3 hours of paperwork. He's looking to boost morale from what he's been saying, not demoralize us or cause us not to trust him or any of his appointed bosses. Sounds like another BS rumor started by the 'conspiracy theorists' out there.

IAD cannot train recruits with DUI. IAD agents do not understand DUI process. Few white shirts actually know anything about DUI. Do not jump on new recruits. They are trying to fit in and learn the system. DUI checkpoints are manned by traffic personnel, not recruits. When a ODPO is brought in for possible DUI, the most IAD can do is administer a breath test. Of course the simple answer is not to drink and drive. Is that so hard?
I don't know about area 5 but I've been in Area 3 for many years and I do Dunkin Donuts, best coffee and YES good donuts. Star Bucks is shit coffee and is for what you call the hairgel yuppies and women.
I guess it has NICE PASTRIES LIKE SOME OF THE COPPERS THAT ARE ON THIS JOB.
can't they just get rid of tru? give the man power to the districts, i guess it takes 2 teams to charge a place to eat and work 6 hours while the districts g job to job for a full 8 hrs and 15 mins ( and that 15 mins thanks to CW)
please empty out them cap offices. lets see their activity such as abandoned building they helped fix.
The rank of deputy chief and ADS are political filler spots. They all should be eliminated. At most the patrol division may need two Deputy chiefs, north and south. Other wise all commanders can report directly to the division chiefs.
Why is a commander need in many spots, like the supes. office. If such a position is needed, at most it should be at the rank of captain.
The academy is another, why an ads and commander. A captain can handle
the top spot, with lts ruining a couple of the sections.
J-Fed. Get rid of the extra brass, it is not needed. If you want an example of two many chiefs and not enough Indians. Listen to the numerous radio tapes of some of the large protests. Boss after boss countermanding an order just issued by a different boss.
Also, at such events, there can only be ONE tactical commander. Left from right never knows what the plan is.
If you mugs are worrying about IAD, then either you are dirty or stupid.
IAD isn't wasting time on early ducks or long lunch periods.
So if you are legit then quit with the shit.
Rumors,
Supposedly the street deputies are out. Their jobs will be handled by patrol deputies chiefs. They are going to love that, calls in the middle of the night and having to make decisions. Patol Deputy has been a puff job up til now.
No more O.T. on the books in the future, everyone will be paid in cash. No more building 3000 plus hrs. like our hard working brass has done.
Crime Strategy and Accountability will move to the new bureau. Watch for Personnel also.
While off topic, the answer to the off topic posts as to DUI road blocks, is that it is a regular function of the Traffic Enforcement Unit, these Districts were chosen ahead of time, in fact if one looks on the city of chicago website, police department, under Department News the locations and dates of the DUI Roadblocks are posted BEFORE hand, which would make one an idiot for not using the information at hand and putting themselve's in harm's way.
No more O.T. on the books in the future, everyone will be paid in cash. No more building 3000 plus hrs. like our hard working brass has done.

2/17/2008 08:10:00 AM
you may have your reasons to hate Shields, but I have been involved as a p/o's direct supervisor, when the copper was looking at getting locked up for bullshit domestics, Shields was the street deputy, did a complete investigation, say thru the bullshit and didn't arrest the policeman!! to many of our ads', escpecially the actors are quick to just make the arrest no matter what the circumsatnces are!!!
Above the rank of Lt. who is not merit. Al nagode, Capt in 24.. made it legit off both sgt and lt's test, has smarts, common sense, and a love of the job. so he is probably stuck at capt.
A.S.A. get rid of Darren O'brien, total stroke who only takes cases he thinks they can win 100% of the time unless of course the alleged offender is a cop...
ADS Egan was/is a cline person all the way. Just a matter of time.
the thing the officers did wrong at the jefferson tap was not arresting the aggressive civilians who started the whole thing!!!!! this thing has been dragging on because the video shows the officers were victims! remember city hall we as policeman can still be victims, we are not required to be doormats and punching bags, let it go our officers at jefferson tap were in the right!!!!
This is a serious question. I know street deputies come out for shootings, officer-involved domestic violence and the like, but aren't they monitoring other stuff on midnights too? Calling someone out for a major incident is a no brainer, but what else are street deputies doing, esp. not 2nd watch? Patrol bosses are going to really pissed if they get called out all the time for less that major incidents.
Please just don't say they don't do anything -- what exactly do they do other than major incidents.
J-FED is a joke. You all are feeding into the bullshit. Just wait and see. Give him a chance my ass.
The man makes more than our mayor. You think he gives a shit about you. Your an idiot if you think so. Watch your asses and be safe.
Mr. SouthSide says---
Supt. Weis has explained that no grief counselors will be needed for the south side or west side districts during the Starbucks closing crisis.
He explained that Starbucks normally closes for a few hours after a stick-up so there is no big deal there.
Mr. SouthSide says----
"Starbucks has lots of hot female customers..."
Agreed. However, the guys on the north side are too busy looking at each other to take care of them.
Furthermore, the good nuns taught us proper grammar, for example:
"Its" should be It is or It's.
"Northsides" should be north side's.
"Birdgeport" is spelled Bridgeport.
"Inbred jed neighborhood"?????
Can't even guess what a jed neighborhood is.
"Don't hate us because the Northside is beautiful..."
If you consider Lawrence and the area west of the lakefront beautiful, you have kissed Ronnie Woo-Woo too many times.
Helicopter Uni?
I thought they disbanded again. Anytime I've heard them called for they were either out of gas or could not find a pilot. O yes, once they came out for a search along the lakefront but had to turn around minutes later to gas up.
Still waiting for Rostenkowski't fleet of helicopters or maybe he sold them along with his stolen stamps.
I've got a new bureau, bought it the other day and it fits nice in my bedroom. Do I have to put a minority in charge of my new bureau?
I strongly feel that this change was inevitable. Matthew fucked up with the SOS and got a better gig at the academy. He somehow managed to fuck up in the academy as well.
I also have heard the rumors regarding stings set up to catch off-duty coppers over-indulging. Where are these stings being conducted???? 008, 022, and 016. I guess these are the only districts off-duty officers go to after work to unwind. I agree with the posters who stated nobody has a right to drive impaired and possibly harm or kill another person but WTF? It's bad enough that the media dictates how we do our job but they (the media) were the originators of this bull with setting up cameras outside Dugans trying to railroad off-duty coppers, now our own department has lowered itself to the point of trying to entrap its' own. It's kind of sad reading these posts that you guys and gals don't get what is really going on. There is only one CPD. It doesnt matter if you work in 001, 004, 008, 022, 016, 019, 024, 018, a specialized unit or the infamous TRU, WE ARE ALL CPD. This constant inner fighting just goes to show that this department is falling apart in a fast spiraling motion. Instead of worrying about JFED or the midget man on the fifth floor, we need to join forces and once again become the best department in the country, THE CPD. Start being ONE Department and quit dividing the forces because by doing so, you are giving the haters just what they want. Quit putting up stuff on this site that could possibly cause another P. O. to get in trouble, you are only making I.A.D.'s job easier for them. Unite and be proud of who we are. WE ARE THE CPD!!!!! Stand up to the plate and start acting like it.

You must be a meritorious boss. You write like shit would love to see your paper and you couldn't have done too good on the exam because if you read the shit about Shields it appears the posters are talking about one who is a po in 018 and one who is the jag off you think is so great because he didn't fuck over a po in an obvious bullshit domestic. So what is it are you a meritorious Sgt or Lt or both?
Hey 4:48, if Al Nagode never made meritorious, then he wouldn't be a Captain. Wake up stupid ass!
"Can anyone verify that IAD is watching cop bars and DUIing Officers when they leave?"
Yup its true, I talked to a high ranking officer a few days ago. They are also putting undercovers inside the bars. They can easily spot the PO's and sit and observe what is being drunk. When the PO's leave they call in a winner and the investigation is already established. The PO is stopped soon after and everything that has been drunk is already documented. The whole process is so successful, IAD is dedicating all of their extra manpower to these types of investigations. Be careful where and who you drink with!
PS Hi Sue, you made it!

NEVER WAS A CHIEF< NEVER WAS MAKING 160,000 a year ...why don't you stop your bull shit and get on something that is real.
This is a serious question. I know street deputies come out for shootings, officer-involved domestic violence and the like, but aren't they monitoring other stuff on midnights too?
***********************
Street deputies of today seem like they just answer calls... when that job was designed for them to be the representative of the Superintendent out in the field 24/7.. they used to attend roll calls, bring the superintendents message to the troops, and feedback to the supe. Also, they were responsible for writing up citizen commendations, and doing a facility check at department buildings, I wouldn't call it an "inspection" but just a check to see if things are running OK, and report back to the supe if something was amiss. Inspectors sometimes do this too, but sometimes when you need something fixed, a report from the ADS has a lot more weight and might actually be looked at.
ADS's also used to do roll call inspections etc. I haven't seen an ADS at a roll call since Tim Daly retired.
I think if their job gets eliminated, they have only themselves to blame...
The academy is another, why an ads and commander. A captain can handle
the top spot, with lts ruining a couple of the sections.
*************************
There is only an ADS there now, there hasn't been a commander there in about 4 years.
There used to be a commander and a captain there.
You could use both because the commander can deal with the Mayor's office, superintendents office, DS of patrol's office, while the captain handles the day to day operations of the academy.
You have 3 (was 4 at one time) sections, Recruit Training (which now includes the 4th of FTO section) In Service Training and Instructional Design/Quality control...These are and should be led by LT's.
Dpont say anything nice about a boss on here. Jody read how well liked and respected Hiram Grau was and see what happened to him. He stabbed that good man in the back just like he will do to anyone else who gest in his way.

Question. Can anyone name any boss above the rank of Lt. who at one time was NOT a meritoriously promoted Sgt. or Lt.? Capt.'s rank and above are all merit or politically motivated appointments. Is there anyone out there that made Sgt. and Lt. on their own (without clout, merit) that went on to become a boss? Are there any? If there are any, they should be given a long look to lead this Dept. Can anyone name 1 person who achieved a rank above Capt. who was never a meritoriously promoted Sgt. or Lt. first?

Bullshit. There is a little thing called the contract between the City of Chicago and the Fraternal Order of Police, the bargaining agent for sworn members below the rank of sergeant.
That contract says we can take OT in time or money at OUR CHOOSING. So until they change the contract, whoever posted the above bullshit rumor is full of shit like most of the posts here.
Kirby was never a merit promote
9:54pm
Maybe they can call the show:
NIP/TUCK CHICAGO
The answer to your question is Captain Tom Libert 017. Currently, he is the acting D/C since Dulay retired. Tom is a smart guy and vary fair to the officers who work under his command.
Libert, you must be kidding. ask him how he made lieutenant???? he had a take home exam while he was on the medical. ask him about when he was the watch commander in 016???? P.O’s who got arrested by the FBI for shaking down the Polish workers on Belmont ave. were under his watch. Yea, very smart and fair to the officers who work under his command….in 016 we called him DO NOTHING LIBERT he turned a blind eye to everything.
By the way . .
Is the head of the Helicopter Unit (Harold HOLM)
STILL a Chief's spot making over $160,000 a year ? ?

"You are ignorant, NO he is not a chief. YOU are so stupid . .
someone keeps putting his photo up on the department website as a Chief, but he is not . . "

I am ignorant and stupid?
Listen to what you just said ASSHAT.. THE DEPARTMENT keeps putting his status as "CHIEF" on its OFFICIAL intranet site.
Now go look in the toilet for your brain before you flush it away by accident dumbfuck.
I have to say that the changes were, unfortunately in one instance, necessary. If you're the new Sup and you have people directly below you that were either a)passed over, b)felt they were passed over, or c)didnt really give two shits either way since they're so high up they felt it didnt matter, then you really have no choice but to bring in new blood that will be a helluva lot more loyal to you. Wies is an 'outsider', he has no political ties (yet) and better yet, didnt come with an entourage (other than the new head of IAD) so obviously he cant have people that are that high up in the ranks that would possibly undermine him. I think any outsider would have done the same thing, and the fact that Risley, Williams, AND GRAU (lets play the which one of these is not like the other game for a second) all got demoted back to LT kinda shows that it wasnt personal. After all, wasnt Grau Daley's first pick till he didnt agree with Big Dick's choice for a 1st Deputy?
oh, and to the confused individual out there, there are at least 2 Mike Sheilds on the department that I know of. One is a patrolman in 018 (and formerly 011) that somebody obviously has a hardon for.

to answer the question, I think (and I may be wrong) Dept. Dugan made it to Lt. on his own. He's a sharp guy who has made a ton of friends on this job due to his work ethic. He's kind of soft when it comes to his optimism. He lives and breathes for this job. However, I'd work for him any day.

you may have your reasons to hate Shields, but I have been involved as a p/o's direct supervisor, when the copper was looking at getting locked up for bullshit domestics, Shields was the street deputy, did a complete investigation, say thru the bullshit and didn't arrest the policeman!! to many of our ads', escpecially the actors are quick to just make the arrest no matter what the circumsatnces are!!!
2/17/2008 04:42:00 PM

different Mike Shields, dude. Stop drunk typing.
Anyway the Shields that everyones been ripping on lately doesn't really deserve the time and attention he's been getting. Sure he's kind of a dog. Aren't we all in some ways? Bottom line is he's a decent cop from a good cop family.
2/17
4:42pm
You must be a meritorious boss. You write like shit would love to see your paper and you couldn't have done too good on the exam because if you read the shit about Shields it appears the posters are talking about one who is a po in 018 and one who is the jag off you think is so great because he didn't fuck over a po in an obvious bullshit domestic. So what is it are you a meritorious Sgt or Lt or both?
2/17/2008 07:54:00 PM
the posters were back and forth about the identity of shields. obviously you have never had the bad fortune of having to see one of your officers assumed guilty before innocent by a bad boss even on a bullshit domestic.
this is an informal writing blog not a homicide case report or a to/from, so relax, Second I made it off both lists, sgt in 99 2nd class, lt. this year 1st class. both by studying, learning the job while doing the job, and not whining about what everyone else has and what others didn't give to me. My post about Shields is my opinion as your post is your opinion. Stop being one of those haters who are hurting our department, those who hate others for having views other than there own.
either way the most important thing is to stay safe.
"Can anyone verify that IAD is watching cop bars and DUIing Officers when they leave?"

On another topic: the DUI roadblocks... I call bullshit on this one.
**I agree, a roadblock is a roadblock and if a PO gets nabbed, it is what it is.
With all the dumps the other day, I'm sure someone who lost their clout is trying to turn the troops against JFed. Rumor I say!

The academy is another, why an ads and commander. A captain can handle the top spot, with lts ruining a couple of the sections.
2/17/2008 08:49:00 PM
Academy had a ADS and commander spot but William Shavers removed the commander spot from budget. He wanted total control and gutted staff because of idiots surronding him. Academy needs a captain spot to run daily activities of academy. ADS is too occupied with meetings at 35th and Springfield. Currently the three sections do not work well together. In-service is in shambles with no supervision. Imagine, one of the largest police departments in the country without a effective inservice training and a broken FTO section. Bring in a competent captain to run daily activities and unite academy into a cohesive unit. Smoke and mirrors is not working. Even in-car camera training is disorganzied and ineffective. Two days of training for what? Take a survey or evaluate the program. They need somone, possibly a captain position to bring a sense of purpose to academy.
Don't hate us just because the Northside is beautiful!!!

"P.O’s who got arrested by the FBI for shaking down the Polish workers on Belmont ave. were under his watch."
They were chased out of 014&025 for pulling the same stunts. Both were fired& got back on the job. I believe they're retired now?
Must have been kicking that cash up to someone, Go figure...
Dear Head of Bureau of Professional Standards;
Please take away the marked squad car assigned to Beat 1108. This civilian, M. Alexander does not need a marked squad to drive around the city and run her personal errands in. On countless occassions she has been observed running thru red light intersections to who knows what kind of emergency. She is not allowed by state law to activate emergency equipment and respond to emergency calls, yet she does. There is no reason for her or any other crossing guard supervisor to utilze a marked squad car. the 011 district is short of 6 marked units thanks to Fleet Mismanagement. We are watching you alexander and are making a log of your screw ups and unauthorized use of a department vehicle. By the way, just how do you reach the gas and brake pedals?

2/18/2008 08:44:00 AM

no.. entrapment would be IAD throwing a benefit for a good working cop, providing free beer, and then having someone there giving test drives to new BMW's or Ferarri's, THEN jamming you up for getting behind the wheel. Watching someone do something that they'd normally do anyway and then jamming them up for it is not entrapment. Even if the investigator is doing it all 'undercover'.
Be careful who you're drinking with/around, just in case it is true, and if you think something is wrong (ie: cop 'spidey sense' goes off) just grab a cab.
Stay Safe.
whoever keeps going back and forth with the "no... you get YOUR brain out of the toilet"
"No! YOUR brain is in the SEWER!"
grow up.
seriously.
You're both making us all look like assholes by posting this nonsense. His picture was up as Chief whether he was one or not and no one knows who put it there. If he isnt then he isnt. WTF?
The last time there were captain promotions made off a list (from an actual test) was 1987. After that there were no more captain positions made for a period of years. Former supe TH brought back the rank of captain, and he started the promotions of captains as pure meritorious (no more test).

"Former supe TH brought back the rank of captain, and he started the promotions of captains as pure meritorious (no more test)."
Actually- that was when the Capt, Lt and Sgt unions were just forming. The Capt's Association, which only had 7 captains at the time-and only one of those in patrol-sold out the rank to become an exempt spot for a $17,000 one time bonus.
$17,000 dollars or 30 peices of silver?
They didn't have to take the offer...
