Not a Bad First Day
Rescinds an order put out in his name without authorization.
Extends the "merit" selection process for Sergeants so he can look over the choices.
Chooses a decent First Deputy.
Then we have this story from the comments:

Then we have this story from the comments:
- A certain Alderwoman who will remain nameless called J-Fed to give him input on who should fill the vacant 022 Commander spot.
J-Fed politely replied that he would take input only from law enforcement personnel, and would make his own decisions.
If even remotely true, he's getting off on the right foot. Granted, part of it could be the puppetmaster pulling the strings with J-Fed running interference, but we'll see that soon enough if it's going to be that way.
And Grau being named "acting" hints that this might be because he's going to go with two "First" deputies - one for Operations and one for Administration was suggested to us by a letter writer.
The shaking up has only begun.

Supe followed protocol. Grau was highest in rank. He wasnt chosen. Just got the spot by default. So you can figure he wont have the spor permanently.
Don't know if this is true. Can anyone confirm?
I heard he walked out in the middle of a meeting after being told what "reverends" and other "community leaders" he should take council from.
Given today's performance I wonder if he's already tired of the clout heavy-race baiting- oh God let me keep my spot dog and pony show... we can only hope.
PLEASE REMEMBER MIKE METTE!
J. Weis you already raised my morale, thanks. A working copper.
Airport KK deserves every bit of OT she gets, the Airports would not function without her commitment and dedication.
i heard yesterday from a friend in motor maintenance that cars are going to be equipped with digital flourescent beat tags. it will be continoiusly run 24hrs around the clock to assure the public who the police vehicle is.
I'm sorry but, what a stupid ass idea! The element of surpise is totally eliminated now. You might have stood a chance from bangers not seeing you in the dark or rain or snow or just not looking while you were approaching but now, they will be brought immediatley to your approach from at least a block or more away. DUH!!!!!!!
It's so clear that they don't care about the polie having an advantage in combatting crime but they are hell bent on letting the public identifying the car thats involved with the stop or incident. Just another stupid ass, ridiculous idea that hitting the streets. shame shame, what this department has become.
Not sure who this heavy hitter ShavedLongCock@yahoo.com is, but if this detective can have the swipe order removed so quick, he is ok with me! Thanks to Det. ShavedLongCock! You are the MAN!
He's the actor because he's next in line if you follow the flow chart for heiarchy.....
Lt. Richie Scotchbreath was over heard at TR'S Bar that he put two of his best 8th district tactical officers on the case to find out who placed a box of depends adult diapers on his desk covered with copies of postings about him from the SCC blog.
You could see his face turn as red as a beet and his neck veins bulging out of his neck in frustration of these bed wetting "rumors".
Word is that a certain hispanic female sgt who already has 4 kids by 4 different daddys, won't let Lt. Richie Scotchbreath stay overnight any more unless he brings plastic sheets for the bed.
This release of such sensitive information of a personal nature has taken a toll on poor Richie. He has actually assigned one of his tactical cars to remain in the tact office so no more "packages" can be placed on his desk!
J-Fed, help this poor man out and give him his third merit promotion so he can have a plush quiet office somewhere with his own close bathroom!
I say, give the guy a chance. Not only that, I think he is a great looking man of power! He is a cutie!
Keep up the good work Supt!
Next, dump half of the brass we have, starting with Inspectors!
P.S. When can I get a PDT, a digital radio, a taser and rifle?
Thanks.
Stick to your guns Supt. Be your own man and you will be the first Supt in a LONG time to have the respect of the troops.
Get out there and vote for Tom Allen on Tuesday, he is the friendliest to the police out of all of the scum running!!
===================================
Just days before Tuesday's primary, a new Tribune/WGN-TV poll shows a wide-open race for the Democratic nomination for Cook County state's attorney with none of the six contenders in the increasingly bitter battle able to claim support from more than a fraction of voters.
Almost half of the likely Democratic voters surveyed, 44 percent, said they were undecided about who should be the nominee for the opening created when State's Atty. Dick Devine decided not to seek re-election.
Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin held a narrow edge, with support from 17 percent of voters, the poll showed. Chicago Alds. Tom Allen (38th) and Howard Brookins (21st) each had 11 percent, as did Anita Alvarez, the No. 3 official in Devine's office. Devine's top assistant, Robert Milan, had 3 percent and Tommy Brewer, a defense lawyer and former FBI agent, had 2 percent.
J-Fed isn't going to shake things up too much. He isn't interested in re-inventing the wheel here. He has 310,000 (per year) reasons to not care about things that much.
Just like most people who enjoy tasty hot dogs really don't care to watch or learn how they're made.
Dear Jody,
In my time on he CPD I have learned that there are three things that are legit and on the level:
1. roller derby
2. pro wrestling
3. the Chicago Police Department
Please don't expect to win me over at this late date, I am near the end of this dog and pony show and just want to be left alone.
Hope the swipe/no swipe wasnt a ploy to make J-FED look good.His boss pulls shit like this all the time.Not convinced yet.
Welcome to your new positions in Chicago.
Just to introduce myself, I am a hard working "Beat Police Officer", out here on the rough streets of the Westside of Chicago on midnights.
Name for right now is not important, as I am representing Beat Police Officers from around the city. I am sure there is a consensus on this issue I would like to bring to light and center stage and would like to see fixed right away!
One of your biggest gripes in this Chicago Police Department has to do with Merit Promotions! You have Sergeant Merit promotions due this week, in fact!
It needs to be fixed right away!
I know of many Police Officers who have Phd's, Masters Degree, Law Degrees, etc. who are highly educated, hard working and motivated people, who have studied very hard in this field and deserving of promotions to help make this Police Department the smartest and most educated in this nation. You have a lot of talent out here that go unnoticed!
Yet, you have Supervisors [Commanders and A.D.S.] who continually nominate other Police Officers to a promotion that don't even have a completed Associates Degree from a Junior College or a bunch of hours in basket weaving!
How about giving the non-connected hard working Police Officer a chance to get a promotion by mandating that all Merit Promotions MUST attain a minimum level of a College completion such as completing at least a Bachelors Degree?
Us hard working and educated Police Officers believe that a completed Bachelors Degree should be acceptable for Merit promotions, with those that have attained a post-graduate degree i.e. Phd's, Masters and Law degrees get preferred consideration. After all, this City pays well over $100,000 in salary and benefits to these promoted folks as it is!
Why not get the best for Chicago's tax money?
For example: I have a Masters Degree along with over 20 years on this Police dept. and I was passed over for promotion to Detective by an Officer who had no College degree and only 75 credit hours from a Junior College and never graduated!
Is that who you want to represent this City against the sharpest minds in criminal court?
Please, look into this issue right away. Moral is in the toilet because of issues like this!
Otherwise, why go back to school and do training that YOU want to promote, if there is NO benefit to it! It would be pointless to those that sacrificed the time and effort to go back to school and get College degrees and then not get promoted anyway!
You being a highly educated man and want to promote training and edcuation. Well this an issue that should and needs to be fixed right now, otherwise it just looks like more of the same B.S. status quo from the previous administration!

Yeah, but he is going to be wearing the CPD uniform. Something that he never earned, he only signed a contract!
Before all of you dance for joy and believe that Jody is the swell leader we've all been dreaming of remember that he is a career FBI agent. For you new “go chargers”, FBI agents put policemen in jail, usually for charges that the policemen has already been acquitted of in the state courts. Federal Jail includes ridiculously long sentences several years longer than those handed out in state courts. The policeman stays in jail for 80% of his sentence minimum. The policeman’s family goes broke due to the cost of defending a federal charge. The FBI agents get promoted and can run for US attorney or Chicago police superintendent because they brought justice upon a corrupt policeman.
Grau is a good choice for now because things are so incredibly fucked up. Keep in mind that Jody is an FBI agent, not the police. You new guys need to realize that the FBI is not our friends. This guy will fuck us big time when he gets the chance. That is what the FBI does.
The sucking ass by supervisors has started. I had a nice note put on my squad car that stated that "I can not work out at the academy while on the clock and you have been reported to an inspector. NICE
I think that this new guy the “outsider” will be very good for this department. In the long run CPD will benefit from him and how he changes the structure of CPD and training of this department i.e.: training, equipment and general orders made under him. No one likes “CHANGE” but 99.5% of the legit working police will do well and that very small .5% of bad cops will soon be terminated. Politics and promotions based on gender and race will always be there, but the person who is made by gender or race will have the experience (working police) and education to support them in their promotion. This is my guess for J-FED first year, major personal change at 35/Mich, more SGT added to the streets, more training and range time for blue shirts and a few G.O. changes to our benefit. Time will only tell, but I have some faith in this new guy.
I am actually liking the changes already!
Give this guy a chance!
The old boys network is out the door! YEA!

that's enough adam z
From the Sun-Times:
The former FBI agent also says he wants to boost morale for “the thousands of hardworking police officers in this department who sacrifice time with their families, who sacrifice holidays, who sacrifice time watching their kids grow up. They do that because they have a commitment to serve. Those are the people I pledge my undying support to.’’
**I have never heard a supervisor say that. I'm shocked!
Get rid of the micro-managing bosses for starters.
Eliminate inspectors and let the street bosses supervise their people.
"i heard yesterday from a friend in motor maintenance that cars are going to be equipped with digital flourescent beat tags"
The tags are LED lights and 024 already has them. They actually look good and they eliminate the antiquated plastic beat tag system.
But now, what will be use for ice scrapers?
02/02/08: 1230am since when has that mattered here. NEVER, so its a start. He will keep Grau there because it wasn't by default. Its a new day, whether its good or bad remains to be seen.

Twenty year college educated wonder.Please do me a favor when you go and get your cast put on your shoulder after patting yourself on the back. Get realistic. I'm retired, was promoted, and not by merit selection, and also without a college degree, and gave this job all that I had until the day I retired. You "don't" need a degree to be a good supervisor. Get a life and quit whinning in your beer.
Just to introduce myself, I am a hard working "Beat Police Officer", out here on the rough streets of the Westside of Chicago on midnights.

hey francis, take a breath. what a pompous ass you are. you get passed over and right away here comes the tears. you are right, education is a great thing. i'm continuing mine on the city. but get off your high and mighty horse. remember you are a blue-shirt just like the rest of us. don't belittle others just to justify your disappointment in this system. perhaps your education might be beneficial in another line of work. the tone of your thread suggests you are a snob.
you would be the type of boss who would hold his education over everyone. check that huge ego of yours at the door before you make a fool of yourself.
as always be safe and back each other up, we are all we got.
These Lt. Richie Scotchbreath postings are killing me. I keep laughing so hard my cheeks hurt!
I did see him at Hope Depot buying plastic painting traps, so maybe this stuff is really true! Or maybe he had a date with Miss. 4 by 4! Who maybe Miss 5 by 5 if Richie still has it in him!
So far so good. Give this guy a chance. I sometimes wonder how many of us ever had to work a real job, like construction laborer. dock hand etc. Though this job is screwed up, and certainly not always fair, neither were those jobs, and I worked a lot harder. For those of you who are always so angry and bitter, do yourself, your family and all of us a favor and quit. Try your hand at something else and see how well you do. And yes, I have time on this job and am a working copper.
Ok, how smart are you guys? Grau is 3rd in Command, so there was no choice to be made. We are a rank and file department, he is the next in rank. He was also acting when Starks was Interim-Superintendent. I hope he gets it by the way, but this appointment means nothing but we followed our own rank and file system.
2/02/2008 07:54:00 AM
Hey, Mr. "I have a masters degree", it's MORALE, not moral! And I have only a High School education. Go figure! I was promoted off the 1993 Sgt's list which had no meritorious selections with this same High School diploma. My advice to you...STUDY HARDER!
Give the man a chance. I just hope that he has the integrity to keep the politicos and race baiters away. Go get 'em J-Fed!
J-Fed LIFT THE RESIDENCY RULE!!!!

Another stroke. Please, please, please... I wanna promotion. Can you believe this guy? Obviously you are TOO dumb to pass the tests. It doesn't matter how much time you wasted in "school" and what certificates you received. Score better and get promoted. But by asking to be noticed and meritoriuosly promoted means that you WILL owe someone for the move. And be judged by others as a suck ass. Good luck and keep your knees clean. Don't owe anyone anything.
Nice to see the new Supt. was sworn in by former Alderman Tim Evans. Imagine that, the new straight lace Supt sworn in by a crooked as they come former Alderman turned Judge!
Only in Chicago can that happen!
P.S.: I just got a ne shipment of bullet poof vest in at great low prices, if your interested see me in 005th / 2nd watch!
Everyone look at your direct deposit stub or payroll check....Do you gross $12900.00 bi-weekly? Jody does! Will he earn it? Will he pick Mike McCotter for the other First Deputy spot?
All I know is, in my 17 years on this job, the only time the G was around was to fuck some copper over.
For you new “go chargers”, FBI agents put policemen in jail, usually for charges that the policemen has already been acquitted of in the state courts.
WRONG!!! The FBI put criminals in jail just like we are supposed to do. If a police officers is breaking the law, lock him up. He should get a stiffer sentence than a member of the general public because he is a sworn police officer. He was told this in the academy when he got hired. If he didn't like it he should have quit.
Do the crime do the time!!

Your break lights already tell them you are coming. Or haven't you noticed them up there? WOW
ON DEGREES FOR MERIT PROMOTIONS...
There are plenty of good deserving coppers out there that deserve promotions that don't have degrees. Most of the house mouse do nothings go to school and get their degrees. So your argument is FUBAR.

You do not speak for everyone. Education alone is not enough for promotion. Many exempts have BS masters from certain schools, degrees given to them. I wouldn't hire them to teach in grade school. There are LTS and captains with EDD and are useless and worthless. There is a difference between accomplishment in a classroom and ability to command on the street. A combination would be ideal. Get over yourself.
TO anonymous 12:30 I take it you don't have much time on the job. Grau is a Deputy Superintendent I guess we have to inform you that there are other "DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENTS" lets see...the first two that come to mind are Williams and Risley and there are "acting" DS like Limon and Egan. I don't know the others off hand but you get my point. No spot by default he's perfect for the spot I'm sure JP looked at others (and still is for second "first") and felt that Grau is the MOST qualified to have this spot lets just hope he makes him a permanent "First"
Hopefully he will also look into the medical abusers and the dog asses on duty disability who are milking the system. I know some that are coaching sports, hunting and working jobs that pay more than we make + their 75% while on DD. But us working Officers who get hurt on the job & have to go the medical or light duty lose income and get hurt financially, what ever happened to the medical integrity group!!!!!
Looking at the "merit selections"? Bullshit. If he continues the merit promotion process Wies is a fraud, and a failure. Only on the Chicago Police and Fire Departments do we advance semi-literate blacks and hispanics for poltical expediency. And some of you mopes have been beaten down so badly you start to concede to this travesty and say things like, "well, maybe just one bite of the merit apple...". How about passing a test Wysinger, Avila, Walsh, Starks, et al. You can't. Hey Jody, what you gonna do about that? Maybe you permitted to become an FBI agent only after they relaxed the requirement that you be an accountant or attorney. Then you, too, are a product of dumbing down and merit promotions are acceptable. Impress me. No merit giveaways as a sub rosa affirmative action.
All police officers & Illinois voters
DO NOT VOTE FOR
LARRY SUFFREDIN He defended a police killer in 1975
Check it out with the FOP
He now is trying to get the killer released from jail. The police officer that was killed was Ed Barron out of the old 004th district-His partner at the time was Dan Abate- Not related to the tavern guy -some of you old timers will remember his brother Father Barron from St Jude
You do not want this person in office
Notify all your friends & relatives
Like I stated If you do not believe me chek with the FOP this killer shot at the Police even after he killed Ed.

Masters Degree, huh? I sure hope it isn't in English, or maybe they didn't bother with punctuation and spelling. Maybe you should also grow up a little. It sounds like you sat in class and maybe wrote a dissertation all on the city's dime and now you want to be rewarded, give me a break.
i heard yesterday from a friend in motor maintenance that cars are going to be equipped with digital flourescent beat tags. it will be continoiusly run 24hrs around the clock to assure the public who the police vehicle is.
I'm sorry but, what a stupid ass idea! The element of surpise is totally eliminated now. You might have stood a chance from bangers not seeing you in the dark or rain or snow or just not looking while you were approaching but now, they will be brought immediatley to your approach from at least a block or more away.

-----------------------------------
And you don't think they see the big blue and white car when the lights are off???? You must be a 009 stealth ranger!
To the post that wants J-Fed to make education an integral part of merit promotion: Here's a new idea. Let's eliminate merit promotion. Take a test, pass it, get placed on a list and get promoted in rank order from that list. Screw merit, screw your PHDs, screw the clout calls. If you so stupid not to be able to pass a promotion test your PHD isn't helping. You want to impress CPD J-Fed: eliminate merit promotions, period.
After reading a couple of posts saying that an order with Weis’s name was published without his permission is incorrect. With all of the directives the department has (Administrative Special Order, Department Notice, General Order), the only one that actually has to be signed by the Superintendent of Police is a General Order. So the order that went out with Jody’s name on it, without his signature, about swiping was done legit because other non-important orders that no one cares about are out there too.
I’m not sure that you understand that the order about swiping was a department notice which only needs to be authenticated by the director of research and development. Go into the district and look at all the piles of orders and take a look for yourselves. The superintendent’s name is on the order, but the only orders that are signed by the super are general orders.
Department notices are usually pilot programs testing out new procedures that are being evaluated by the department or something that happens for a limited time frame such as the upcoming procedures for Super Tuesday.
It’s all spelled out in the order called written directives.
Here's a hot one, Deputy Chief Ralph Chiezewski is supposedly learning how to scuba dive all of a sudden;;;;;;;; duh maybe he can Bullshit Jody into thinking he knows something about diving so he can put that on his resume! What a big-time suck-up!!!!!!!!!

Fuck the B.A., M.A and PhD bullshit.
If the CPD were to use standardized I.Q. tests like the Stanford Binet as a factor, we could effectively cull out the morons and actually promote our brightest people.
Do NOT presume that a person with a mere GED or high school diploma is less intelligent than someone with a master's degree. Also, acknowledge that intelligence, even genius, is but one factor in great leadership qualities.
Otherwise, your post has some validity in minimizing vapidity among the whiteshirts.

Two Cops Shoot it Out on Street
BUFORD, Ga. — Two off-duty officers from different police departments wounded each other in a gun fight in the middle of a road in an Atlanta suburb, authorities said.
Both officers suffered non-life-threatening wounds, police said. Their conditions were not immediately known on Saturday.
Officer Jay Daily, a five-year veteran of the Duluth Police Department, exchanged multiple gunshots with Fulton County officer Paul Phillips on Friday afternoon, police said.
Daily was in custody Saturday, charged with aggravated assault, Cpl. Illana Spellman of the Gwinnett County police said.
"It's been confirmed that the Duluth police officer was the aggressor in this case," Spellman said.
Phillips, 37, required surgery at Gwinnett Medical Center. There was no immediate response to a call seeking comment from the hospital Saturday morning.
"It's been baffling to us why this situation even occurred," said Duluth Police Chief Randy Belcher. "It's an embarrassment to this agency."
Phillips, who was wearing his uniform and in a marked police car, was driving to his home in Gwinnett County, police said. He was flagged down by someone who had seen Daily involved in a physical altercation with a woman in a sport-utility vehicle.

To the person who believes because you got a piece of paper saying you graduated from college you deserve to be promoted over someone else.....shut the F*CK UP! This isn't Microsoft where your experience comes from education. This is a job that your education comes from experience (on the street). You don't get to be a good police officer until you go out and be the police. You don't get good by reading about it. I know people that have a couple of master's degrees that could tell you what the square root of 187645894 divided by 63449 squared equals (without calculators) but then ask them to tie their shoes and they can't. This job needs people with common sense not necessarily book smarts. By the way I DO have a Bachelor's from Notre Dame and I don't think I'm more qualified then anyone else except those that got their degrees from those BS accelerated programs.

Yeah, but he is going to be wearing the CPD uniform. Something that he never earned, he only signed a contract!
****************************
Actually, there are plenty of lazy, corrupt, disgraceful, useless, cops in CPD that also never earned to wear the unifrom, but they do. Get over the uniform thing, it's a stupid point to make. If he improves morale and makes this department a real department (which it is not, CPD is a joke), then who cares.
FBI agents put policemen in jail, usually for charges that the policemen has already been acquitted of in the state courts.
**They wouldn't hav to prosecute federally if the state attorneys and courts had any competence.
Yeah, but he is going to be wearing the CPD uniform. Something that he never earned, he only signed a contract!
**Stated in the paper he will only wear the uniform for ceremonial events.
Here's the scoop on the swipe in/swipe out cluster.
This came from Ritchie at the hall. Ritchie tells Starks to cut the order, he does, signs J.P. name as Starkes leaves 35th street on his last day. Now somebody realize's what a hugh boo-boo was made and quickly recinds the order.
Don't jump for joy just yet. When the hall figures out the overtime issue and answers a few other questions, Ritchie is hell bent on coppers swiping out.
Keep in mind guys, when you swipe in, it does not go to payroll. Non-sworn employee and other city workers do though.

I know Lt. R.S. I'm not his biggest fan. When I had a problem with him I settled it in person. Nobody outside of child molesters and Mumia deserves what he gets on this board. Whatever beef you have, and I beleive it is just one or two guys, take it up with him. You know where to find him. If you want to hide behind anonymous post you are beneath my sack.
If you want to talk about it come see me. We all known that aint gonna happen you worthless cowards.

OMG! You little girls sound like Christmas has arrived. Settle down, let's evaluate J-Fed in increments of 1 month, 6 months, 1 year. Time will tell.
So, C. Williams will now be forced to retire. He will be holding his retirement party at the matchbox bar on a date yet to be determined. Coincidentally, the matchbox bar is the smallest bar in the midwest.
I'm sorry but, what a stupid ass idea! The element of surpise is totally eliminated now. You might have stood a chance from bangers not seeing you in the dark or rain or snow or just not looking while you were approaching but now, they will be brought immediatley to your approach from at least a block or more away. DUH!!!!!!!

1. Excuse me, are you telling me you think no one knows you are the police in that blue and white marked vehicle equipped with light bars on top and spotlights on the side?? Give me a break.
2. You also have it wrong, they are LED lights which can be programmed to different numbers, hence reducing the need for CONSTANT replacement of the beat tags that seem to be lost every single day. the LED lights aren't that bright, they aren't big florescent lights...
Airport KK deserves every bit of OT she gets, the Airports would not function without her commitment and dedication.
Sure. Fuck off Company man.
We may actually get a fair shake from this guy. I am begining to feel very open minded about him. If he made Grau the 1st, that is a decent and appropriate move. He could have immediately made someone by race or gender. He does not want any self-serving exempts. Bye Bye Maria Maher. He's going to have your number very soon.
Welcome to Chicago Superintendent Weis. I wish you all the best.

Welcome to your new positions in Chicago.
Just to introduce myself, I am a hard working "Beat Police Officer", out here on the rough streets of the Westside of Chicago on midnights.
Name for right now is not important, as I am representing Beat Police Officers from around the city. I am sure there is a consensus on this issue I would like to bring to light and center stage and would like to see fixed right away!
One of your biggest gripes in this Chicago Police Department has to do with Merit Promotions! You have Sergeant Merit promotions due this week, in fact!
It needs to be fixed right away!
Didn't want to post "Over Educated: entire post. Just because you have your degrees, doesn't make you the best choice for a position. I agree there are way too many merit promotions, but you don't have to have a PHD to be the right cop for the right spot. I have 70 credit hours, although not in basket weaving, and no clout. I did pass the promotion test because I have what you need to be a good cop. Basic Intelligence and Common Sense. Give me 5000 cops who have that and you can keep all the other ones who have their diplomas hanging on their walls. You may very well be a good cop, but I have seen way to many of the new police with their degrees. Cant tie their shoes without asking for a supervisor, let alone write paper.
Please don't encourage J-Fed to promote Lt. Richie 008 Dist. for his third merit promotion. He should be humble for what he has now. But just like all meritoriously promoted hacks, they really think they deserve the promotion even though they can't make it on their own. Leave the drunk where he is at. Better yet, make him a field Lt. where he is better suited. That way he may have to be at work more often instead of getting drunk at TR's.
You being a highly educated man a
Education does not make you the police. Their is no educational institution that can teach you how to be the police. I take issue with your thinking education is the answer, I myself know of a large number of police officers who received on the job, hands on training and they are awesome police officers. Let us not forget common sense I have seen numerous new POS who have a formal education yet have no life skills, when you go out on domestics etc, you need life skills. I'm amazed at what parents do not teach their children.
What's with all the complaining about nonsense on this blog? As it turned out, the whole swiping in and out was trashed, but you still have whiners on here.
Maybe if you young'uns would try listening to Country music legend Don Williams more often, you would find yourselves a bit more relaxed and feeling good about life?
Start out slow with "I Believe In Love"....you'll catch my drift.

OFFICER SAFETY ALERT - CAUTION WORKING TONIGHT
Keeps your eyes open for this suspect, shot and killed 4 and maybe wounded more in a Tinley Park Store today:
Grady said police are looking for a black man about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 230 to 260 pounds. They said the man was wearing a black waist-length winter coat, a black cap and black jeans.
I heard one of Lt. Richie Scotchbreath's gal pals woke up in the morning and said, Richie I didn't know you had a water bed/ Richie said, I don't I am the one who sprung a leak!
FIVE THINGS J FED DOESNT LIKE: LYING,CHEATING,STEALING,CORRUPUTION,AND BRUTALITY. WELL TURN AROUND ON THE NEXT PRESS CONFERENCE AND LOOK AT THE PIMP MAYOR. THAT IS WHAT CHICAGO LIVES BY!!!!!!!!
OT - Since the Slum-Times hasn't had anything recently to bash the police about, this little tidbit from 50 years ago is reprinted. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/history/773597,CST-NWS-high02.article
I nearly spewed my breakfast as I read this tripe. Wassamata, can't find anything else worth printing on the page?
Hey Boss, Could you look into some things that could help raise your respect which after Grau already went up, along with that stupid swipe order being tabled!
1) go look at fleet on 51st street see why we have no cars, then go behind the garage and look at all the new to almost new "front line" cars about 30-50 cars all with low miles that sit until the big clouted people need a car and then they get one!
2) Why is it the new city clerk refused any drivers while the old one had 4, but burke has what 6 at D-3 rate and working a few days a month.
3) Buy some vehicles we could use at least 500+ new cars most of the cars are falling apart.
4) radios and batteries that can last an 8 hour tour.
5) computers that work, not like the ones that we have that the company went out of business as soon as daleys clouted bought them at a high price.
6) bosses that have some idea of being in shape, and not alcoholics old boys and girls club people.
7) dump tru and many "special" keyword "clouted" units and put the officers back in districts where work gets done.
8) take detectives out of the areas and have them report to all the districts so they are there to help the officers get charges on arrests. We are tired of calling a lot of lazy ass det and hearing "you got nothing kid" and never coming out. Watch their overtime also.
9) stop the inspectors who are trying to impress you by nitpicking the working officers all the while leaving the officers in clouted units alone.
10) great job if true telling the 19th ward clouted alderman no do the same with the rest, and all the bullshit revs and you will win our support.
11) Help egt the contract settled meet with the fop president and his staff they know who the goofs are on the job that hurt every working officer and help get the contract settled how about 4 10 hour days it would be a real morale booster!
12) Tell us what you expect visit the districts attend roll calls and be visible respect is earned not grated and old CPD saying so far your earning our respect being a real man not a political puppet for that thank you!
13) Good Luck God Bless!
OK, Nice talk Jody.
Now back it up by getting rid of this minor infraction and inspector beef bullshit.
Stay safe, but walk the walk.
First disband tact and gang. All these specialized units, the working copper will never make it anyway, and it will get rid of all these BS spots and command staff. Make it all patrol, because the city don't want the police anyway.
how many great vetren coppers still sit in role call with people with two years on the job.
I love how SOS, off duty tac guys fuck it for the guys in patrol who do all the grunt work.
PLEASE REMEMBER MIKE METTE!

Today I mailed him one of those outrageously huge Valentine's Day cards from us & the Rant blogger families. The Post Office laughed when I bought it in.
Took long enough but justice was done.
Nashville Executes Cop Killer
When KK from O'Hare Airport got drunk & punched a police officer and went to rehab and then went to callback, the airport ran just fine without her.
If the new Supt. wears a uniform or not, who cares. I rather not see him where the uniform but what differance does it make.
To the guy who states that he did not earn the uniform, what are you nuts?
What did you do to "earn" your uniform? You did like everyone else, you spent so many weeks in the academy, learned a few things then graduated with out having a clue about life or this job til it was learned. This man has more training than ever given in Chicago Police Academy.
i think this is all hearsay and that he is taking direction from the wrong people. im still waiting for him to address his 13000 troops and tell us what he plans on doin for us, not just what he is doin to the bosses and for the aldermen/reverends.
To the blogger who knows "many" P.O.s who have PHDs, masters and law degrees.
Some of the dumbest assholes I know are lawyer/coppers. A Sgt. from 023 who earned a PHD from University of Bullshit wanted to be addressed as Doctor instead of Sgt. Yeah, sure. Imagine that, he should have been bitch slapped. He is now with CCSP, that figures.
The assholes that furthered their education on the back of real policemen (like Eddie Burke and many others) are as bad as the whore politicians that run this city, county and state.
Keep blowing your own horn, someday someone might listen to you.
to the over educated copper: go F@ck yourself. All this education that you supposedly have does't mean sh#t when it comes to being the police. The education requirements should have been grandfathered in and not expected of the people who were not required to have it when they took the job. Many of the degrees earned are by these bullsh#t colleges who will pass anyone.
Supt,
Field Training Officer tests are graded the same day so a PO can know their score.
Sergeant and Detective tests can be done the same way.
And YOU can end the merit hacks being promoted.
The lack of quality leadership is the biggest suck on morale in CPD today.
OFF TOPIC:
I hate primary's. I must declare Republican or Democrat. Then its the Blue or Red pencil line thru my name.
What is everyone else doing? Thinking I might just pull a democrat ballot and vote against Daley's endorsed candidates.
Since I dislike everything that Daley likes and Anita Alvarez's new ad is disgusting to me. It seems that Police Bashing is the new hot button for ads this season.
Did I miss war being declared on Police Departments?
I must say I like the Jib Jab parody I say on Channel 7, and see that Sufferdin is endorsed by Schakowski, and Guttierez!!! Are you flipping kidding me????
If Luis or Ritchie likes it- I dont like it.
How the Hell is Universal Health Care going to effect me and my family seeing our Doctor?
How long till the United States, Canada and Mexico are one? McCain refers to North America as a region.
BACK ON TOPIC:
Good Luck to Jodi, J-Fed, J-Dog or what ever we are gonna call you. Another boost to moral would be the expulsion of all the merit pukes that just got promoted. Start with the 008th District as a pilot program, since that new LT was a dog as a blue shirt.
So far so good....I hope this guy is his own man and doesn't listen to the aldercreatures or the "Irish mafia" eg. Cline, Molloy etc

Millionaire Eddie Burke got some political hack judge to issue a court order ordering that CPD provide him with bodyguards, at taxpayers expense, of course. That was long ago but apparently its still in effect. Why not supply him with a MARKED car than. A pool car perhaps. He wouldnt's want to sit in one of those shitboxes like we have to do. And put his valets and toady guards in uniform ! And forbid them from driving him out of state to wisconsin like they do now on a regular basis.

Have you been accepted into Mensa or higher?
I was, I don't have a bachelor's degree (although I DO have extra curricular job training) and was promoted to Sgt because of my abilities.
If you hate Richie Scott take it up with him these jokes are real old and cowardace as well. I can care less about the man, but its old already get a fucking life! Did he steal your girlfriend and piss on your shoes in the bar? Relax cowardly puke.

The city paid for my degree but it was my choice to go back to school and I still and hunt for bad guys every day. Just because I have a degree and still lock up jagoffs shouldnt automatically make me a merit promotion selection there are cats out there that have been shot and Medal Valor winners or just steller police officers that I have been lucky to work with who have not been promoted and thats not right.

You my friend have your finger on the pulse of the department. With all of this information at your finger tips it is a wonder that you are not the sup.
I especially enjoyed suggestion #8.
8) take detectives out of the areas and have them report to all the districts so they are there to help the officers get charges on arrests. We are tired of calling a lot of lazy ass det and hearing "you got nothing kid" and never coming out. Watch their overtime also.
Try calling the Detectives to come out and "help" get charges when you have an idea it is what you have. Try having the witnesses, victims, story all in line before calling, remember it is YOUR case not the detectives. They have to present your case to the ASA and 9 times out of 10 in needs a lot of cleaning up before that happens.
If you are not sure what you have ask YOUR supervisor if you don't know what you have than you have nothing.....kid.
Hopefully he will also look into the medical abusers and the dog asses o

I take it you were asleep the day they explained all about the three different types of police vehicles...high visibility, low visibility and covert. Now correct me if I am wrong but a marked police vehicle is supposed to be HIGH VISIBILITY and should therefore be as visible as possible....I'm willing to bet that fairly soon we will be wearing high visibility jackets to make us more visible too, just like everywhere else in the world.

According to this from today's Trib you won't have to worry about him being in a CPD uniform very often.
"Acknowledging the delicacy of his outsider status, Weis said Friday that he will wear a police uniform only on ceremonial occasions. He came to the decision after discussing it with Fraternal Order of Police President Mark Donahue."
Seems to me this guy has a clue and might just end up being very good for the CPD though only time will tell.

WRONG!!! The FBI put criminals in jail just like we are supposed to do. If a police officers is breaking the law, lock him up. He should get a stiffer sentence than a member of the general public because he is a sworn police officer.
AND TO:
**They wouldn't hav to prosecute federally if the state attorneys and courts had any competence...
"The FBI put criminals in jail just like we are supposed to do."? "Who is we"?
Are you an FBI rat that doesn't like the truth? Or are you just one of the most ignorant assholes I have read here on this blog!
Spend some time reading the case law and federal prosecutions in which charges have been brought by the feds against cops. It is usually for "civil rights violations" under federal code 1983AFTER the state has aquitted the police officers of a criminal offense.
Furthermore you tool, that code was enacted to federally fuck local law enforcement federally after a jury of their community (it's never our peers in Crook county)had found them innocent.
An example of that occurred last year in Wisconsin. Google "Frank Jude" you prick and then come back with your holier than thou bullshit. Asshole!
J-Fed is just that a FED...Feds are not friends of the police.
He does not deserve to wear our uniform!!
Each and everyone one of us earned the right the wear the uniform. We all sat through the Academy, 99.9% of us worked the street at least for a minute or two. We all are bound by the contract - seniority, shift work, furlough picks and all the rest of the bs. During our entire careers whether it 1 day or 40 years we have dealt with this screwed up mayor and his city. We live in this city because we have no choice. We pay a crap load for sales tax, real-estate taxes and private schools for our kids. Being the police we can barely afford our own home let alone pick the neighborhood we want to live in. JUST BY CHOOSING CPD AS A CAREER WE ALL DESERVE THE RIGHT TO WEAR THE UNIFORM!!!
J Fed comes to this city without a clue making $310k plus a nice pension from the G and some people want to call him a policeman and allow him to wear our uniform...I Don’t think that is fair to any of us. At $310k he is not a policeman and should not pretend to be one. Why not just put our uniforms on e bay maybe some movie stars may want to sit in as bosses as well.
I welcome J fed obviously nobody wanted the job that is why Da Mayor had to pay up $$$.
J Fed if you are out here just don't disrespect the uniform...stay in a suit!!! You will get more respect that way.
If J-Fed really believes what he is saying and hates those five things. The first person he should go after is the mayor.
Pallidin
JP, Please take not of how the Tinley Park Police an other Suburbs responded to the 5 persons shot/killed at the mall. Majority of Officer's were equipped with Rifles! Better to be prepared then be unprepared.. Remember the LA Bank shoot out! It is only a matter of time before it happens in Chicago.. I carr a 45 and it is great. But notihng is better than a rifle/shotgun. Send us for all the training you want.. You will boost morale for most of except for the over educated new kids.
AND I THOUGHT I WAS THE HATER
IT HARDS TO FATHOM THAT OFFICERS STILL THINK THAT IF THEY HAVE SKILLS AS AN OFFICER THE DESERVE A SHOT AT A PROMOTION.
WHAT R U DRINKING?
HOW DOES MAKING ARREST AND WRITING MOVER MAKE ANYONE QUALIFIED TO RUN A MULT-MILLION DOLLAR ORGANIZATION.
I CAN SEE A PERSON GETTING PROMOTED TO THE SPOT OF DICK OR SGT. PASSED THOSE SPOTS IT SHOULD DEPEND ON EDUCATION AND TRAINING.
ALOT OF THE PO'S ON THIS BOARD SOUND LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO OBTAINED 5 YEAR ARM MORTGAGES WITH 3% DOWN AND NOW ARE LOSING THEIR HOUSES. THE EXCUSE NO ONE TOLD THEM TO READ AND COMPREHEND WHAT THE CONTRACT STATES.
THE CITY IS PAYING FOR THE SCHOOLING IF YOU DON'T GO WHO IS THE DUMB-ASS.

Hey Boss.....we need more people on the streets. I know everyone says "35th"...true...but there is another source. Look at every district and see just how many people are "detailed out". ALL the districts have to carry these people on their "A and A's". There are people "detailed out" for over 12 years. There is a rule that is NOT followed by those bosses attached to someone's coat tails....anyone detailed out for more than 90 days will be assigned to that unit, etc. Why not change this?
one last comment to overeducated-
Your college education only provides an additional resource to use on the job, it does not trump heart, head and hands strengthened through experience and dedication. Pardon my old-school comment, but it's not size, it is all about how you use it.
Policing, I can imagine, is more of an art than a trained skill. Yes, you need to know how to handle things instinctively, to protect yourself as well as others, and drills do that.
You really ought to know this if you spent 20 years on the job. Instead of looking for ways to distinguish yourself FROM the rest, look for ways you can be a support FOR the rest. Might work wonders.
I wish all of you a safe and effective shift, and success with the new guy.
The days of using brawn are over!
These days you need smarts and quick wit to deal with nitwits such as yourselves!
HAHAHAHA, I want to be there when you try your "smarts" and "quick wit" on dude who just got out of the joint and doesn't feel like going back; don't worry, i'll bail your smart ass out....
Each and everyone one of us earned the right the wear the uniform. We all sat through the Academy, 99.9% of us worked the street at least for a minute or two. We all are bound by the contract -
--------------------------------
1. Has he ever been in a lean and rest?
2. Has he had to cuff a stinking bum that makes you want to vomit?
3. Has he gone to man with a gun call?
4. Has he ever ran into a 10-1?
5. Has he been dumped on by the media for years?
We get no respect and still go to dangerous calls every night without the choice of planning out traffic stops as the feds do.
He earned his repect as a Federal agent, not the police.
He should do some ride-alongs. But then he might second guess officers. SO forget that idea.
THE CITY IS PAYING FOR THE SCHOOLING IF YOU DON'T GO WHO IS THE DUMB-ASS.
I'm sorry if we disappoint you oh great one. Yet many of us old farts had to work around the clock and changed shifts every 28 days unlike you, that made it very difficult to obtain any time of degree. The education system was not setup the way it is today with numerous options. Also we made a lot less money and worked second jobs. Then again if you were connected the city would give you a nice spot in order for you to get your education.Oh well to late for me.Insofar as what I see coming out of the academy I feel for you.
If Airport KK was to leave, trust me, you would notice all the work that would not get done. You Jerk!
To "over educated copper!" at 2/02/2008 08:55:00 PM:
Please get over yourself. Your poor sentence structure, horrible punctuation and overall lack of grammatical skill are all pretty good indications that any degree you might have received is from an accelerated program at BS University. These deficiencies only detract from your argument and invalidate your points. Frankly, you appear to be not very smart.
Have you been accepted into Mensa or higher?
what's higher than Mensa?
Oh shit Batman, I better not go to work tonight because that description that some moron wants us to be on the lookout for describes about 25% of the Chicago population. I think it better to wait for a little more evidence or maybe just look for a guy with a WEAPON
2/02/2008 08:28:00 PM
Yup, cuz that description, but with a weapon, cuts it down to about 24%
It is now 5 dead! In tinley park! Maybe moving to the "burbs" was not such a great idea!

You are right on the money! If Jody-the-Jag (as his fbi buddies called him in chicago & fbihq) gets to wear the uniform without going thru the academy then what about all those Metro recuits that have come to CPD? Did they get the Chicgao Special treatment...NOT! but it does set a precident
These days you need smarts and quick wit to deal with nitwits such as yourselves!
2/02/2008 08:55:00 PM
Question. If they are nitwits why would you need smarts and quick wit to deal with them? Wouldn't you need smarts and quick wit to deal with smart and quick-witted people? Are you a dullard?

JP, Please take not of how the Tinley Park Police an other Suburbs responded to the 5 persons shot/killed at the mall. Majority of Officer's were equipped with Rifles! Better to be prepared then be unprepared.. Remember the LA Bank shoot out! It is only a matter of time before it happens in Chicago.. I carr a 45 and it is great. But notihng is better than a rifle/shotgun. Send us for all the training you want.. You will boost morale for most of except for the over educated new kids.
2/02/2008 10:06:00 PM
And also notice how THEY LET THE BAD GUY WALK RIGHT PAST THEM AND GOT AWAY. If it happened in Chicago there would have been six bodies there. A rifle doesn't make the Policeman. Tinley Pk just proved that.

So much for the N.D. degree! This Lieutenant is a Calumet College grad. I guess all that bread you spent didn't make you more qualified to be promoted.Once again the proof is evident that a degree doesn't necessarily equate with intelligence, common sense, test taking or leadership ability. This job after all, is not rocket science.
If KK were to leave O'Hare Airport-who would notice? She's not there anyway even though she puts in for overtime!

Have you seen the highly qualified recruits in the academy with college degrees? Why do they score low in a basic reading test? Why are college graduates failing simple multiple choice weekly tests? Why must academy staff tutor college graduates? Are all degrees equal? How many exempts have a degree from Jerry lewis that was given to them? The best recruits have work or military experience. A degree alone does not guarantee a qualified officer. Really, get over yourself and work the street. be glad you have a job. By the way, Wallmart greeters are in demand. WTF!

Why don't you old farts retire already and get off the job and quit complaining!
Go get your Wal-mart greeting side jobs already and get me my shopping cart! That's all your good for!
Your showing your 1950's ignorance with you dumb comments against a good education for Police Officers, in addition to having a College Degree for promotion!
It's old fucks like you College haters that need to retire and die off because you sound like the KKK!

Golly, your English skills havn't improved, have they? Now you have demonstrated that your major wasn't Logic either. Somehow I suspect that your tuition reimbursement was a waste of the city's money. Maybe, as I previously stated, you could grow up a bit, stop being so arrogant, and somebody might view you in a positive light. I would be surprised if you knew this, but people skills count for a great desl. To put it more simply, perhaps you should take a day or two off from being an asshole. You might do a little better.

I bet this guy was a former CHA rat. Section 8 was a wonderful ideal wasn't it, before at least these animals were contained. Welcome to reality suburbs.
Nice to see the new Supt. was sworn in by former Alderman Tim Evans. Imagine that, the new straight lace Supt sworn in by a crooked as they come former Alderman turned Judge!
Only in Chicago can that happen!
P.S.: I just got a ne shipment of bullet poof vest in at great low prices, if your interested see me in 005th / 2nd watch!

KK from the airport is a PO, only she doesnt know that. KK feels she runs the airport esp when JC isnt there. She forgets about LTs and SGTs. It is JC's fault for giving her free reign. How could she get OT when her days are less than 6 hrs. She creates all havoc and then leaves. Great mug shot picture tho, a face only a mother could love!!!

"what's higher than Mensa?"
Triple Nine Society, for one; 99.9% needed for membership, Mensa is 98%. I'm not quite there, but have a close friend who is.
Ready troops? One step forward, 5 steps behind.
You my friend have your finger on the pulse of the department. With all of this information at your finger tips it is a wonder that you are not the sup.
I especially enjoyed suggestion #8.
8) take detectives out of the areas and have them report to all the districts so they are there to help the officers get charges on arrests. We are tired of calling a lot of lazy ass det and hearing "you got nothing kid" and never coming out. Watch their overtime also.
Try calling the Detectives to come out and "help" get charges when you have an idea it is what you have. Try having the witnesses, victims, story all in line before calling, remember it is YOUR case not the detectives. They have to present your case to the ASA and 9 times out of 10 in needs a lot of cleaning up before that happens.
If you are not sure what you have ask YOUR supervisor if you don't know what you have than you have nothing.....kid.
NOTHIN would be Stupider than to put Detectives in Districts, although every dumb-ass Supervisor in the District would love to tell the P.O's, go ask the Detective, from everything from parking tickets to who knows what else, all F'n day and night. Do your job, follow the protocol, and quit trying to make every obvious misdemeanor arrest into a Felony, or have your Sgt. call the States Attorney and argue with them, and see how far that gets you. Believe it or not kid, the Dets. do this stuff every day, all day long, 24-7-365. MOst of them DO know SH-*t from Shinola, unlike YOU.

Quit working in your pussy ass non brawn district moron. Come be the real police on the south side. I still use my brawn quite often, and I only have 5 years.

His parents SHOULD be proud. He chose to be a police officer, a job most wouldn't have the stomach for. Don't tell me--you're one of those morons that equate a college degree with a high paying job. Very enlightened thinking...

You have a degree from Notre Dame and decided to become a police officer - who is the idiot?
Maybe Notre Dame High School dork!
You'll be paying that loan til you retire and then some unless yo momma and dadda paid fo ya.
Maybe some of us served our country after high school and wasnt able to attend college and now being on CPD it has its own hardships with going to college.
This proves my point - "a degree is a degree". You are a cop just like me. Your Notre Dame education got yourself the same job as I who got on with 0 college credits. Wait to go RUDY!
Hey tell Joe Montana i said hi...
I have a BA as well and am working on a Masters. Dont mean a damn thing on the street you MFing desk jockey!!! Do you try to make your prisoners feel better about themselves too? You baby!!
The only reason I am continuing my education is because the city is paying for it and I want to retire at 50 and get a decent job till I am 60.
WAAAA!! I didnt make SGT!!!
FUCKHEAD!!!!
What's higher than mensa? Ummm, upper Mensa?
If I had college,I would never let it be known on this blog... LOL
That Worthless Cronin who does not or ever had a life should be booted.
He got more $$$ then oil cartel.
He knows shit, over zealous fool who only pinched junkies on the West side his whole tenure. He fucked guys who stood by his sorry ass.
Wears the sam jeans he wore in the 80's
And also notice how THEY LET THE BAD GUY WALK RIGHT PAST THEM AND GOT AWAY. If it happened in Chicago there would have been six bodies there. A rifle doesn't make the Policeman. Tinley Pk just proved that.
-----------------------------------
You are an ASSHOLE...i'm sure every homicide you have been to ended in an arrest. IGNORANT pompous ass...by the way jerkoff...the offender was long gone before the police were called
"I'm sorry if we disappoint you oh great one. Yet many of us old farts had to work around the clock and changed shifts every 28 days unlike you, that made it very difficult to obtain any time of degree."
So, what have you been doing the last 15 or so years that we have NOT been on rotating shifts. One night a week for a couple of years, you could have that sheepskin.
Why is that one guy all over Cronin. Did he cut your overtime?. Did he question how you do your job, probably. But he is a good old guy who lived and breathed this job for a long long time. Your in gangs and don't like the fact that he doesn't say high to you or the Sgt.s who took care of him. So what. Get over it. Go back to 010 or 011 and fly around like you are the best cop or go to Ricks'a or Dugsns and cry about him in your bud light. Don't do it on the blog, your better than that, and so is he.
"He knows shit, over zealous fool who only pinched junkies on the West side his whole tenure. He fucked guys who stood by his sorry ass.
Wears the sam jeans he wore in the 80's"
But his socks last forever because only needs to wear one@ a time. He's just another of the long list of former jarheads that think they're the greatest Policemen to wear the CPD Star.
Legends in their own minds, pride of the Corps apparently?
