The Scream
This is an actual painting of what HQ looked like Monday when the umbilical cord known as a "Blackberry" was out of service:- A major service outage afflicted users of the popular, addictive BlackBerry smart phones across the United States and Canada on Monday.
Officials with
Without this magical device to tell exempts what to do, many were found curled up in fetal positions throughout the building and parking lot. Emergency stashes of Kool-aid had to be brewed and administered via enema.

Funny without the blackberry what did they do? actually use a phone?
off topic: i am a female officer and have almost three years on the job and i really want to work tact. i have been working with a 37 year veteran and he makes me do all the driving because he refuses to wear his shoes once he enters the car that he calls a cruiser.when i ask him job related questions he tells me that i am trying to learn twenty years in one day. i want to beef on him but he reminds me of my father who is in a nursing home. i know i can be the real police if they just let me.
That top picture looks like something out of the old NIGHT GALLERY tv series......
My god, I was wondering what that high pitched noise was that I heard Monday afternoon. I thought it was a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
SCC you never fail to make me laugh with your silliness. Thanks for making an otherwise dreary day a little sunnier!
You are da bomb, baybee!
My Dingleberry was out, too.
I was feeling kinda proud of it.
It's mine and I can wash it as fast as I like.
yeah, high tech systems go out.
that is why you never abandon the tried and true.
all that satalite shit is great.....but i wouldn't get rid of the hf stuff just yet.
motorola is dieing to sell municipalities all manner of 800 mhz this and trunking that. but when the shit hits the fan nothing beats an elevated vhf antenna with a little power behind it.

SSC TALK ABOUT OF OUT SERVICE, SEISER WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT AND IS ON THE MEDICAL, A DRUNK DRIVER REAR ENDED SEISER ON FRIDAY AND THEN FLED THE SCENE. AT THIS TIME THE ISP IS INVESTIGATING. SEISER GET WELL AMERICAN NEEDS A HERO, AND NEW YORK CITY NEEDS A NEW MAYOR.

Give me a break .... 1st nobody with "almost" 3 years should be on Tac/gangs or in a
unit ...2nd..if you dont like who your working with stop crying about it and work 99 or bounce around...my guess is you landed with him because nobody wants to work with either of you, so suck it up and move on .... I cant beleave what a department of cry babies and ballless do nothings we have become!
Nursing home, now THAT is funny.
SCC---Who ever said Art History (the hardest single class I took in school) wouldn't ever come in handy?
What a great picture to choose with the topic.
I can just imagine Charley Williams with this look when his Black Berry went out!!!!
The Mt. G story, what part of bullshit do you not understand?
We had guys in roll call saying their service was out, but yet still had the bluetoof in their ears.
Dorks.

Don't beef on the guy unless you want to get labled with all sorts of names. Just go to the WC and ask to work with someone more agressive. If he/she asks why, be honest and tell him. Say that you don't want to cause any problems, and you want to learn more and this guy has a different 'feel' for the job than you do.
I'm sure they know about his "working style" anyhow.
As for tact, forget it. There are no perks to working it anymore. They get stuck with all the shitty details, their hours and days off get changed constantly, especially in the summer (you can't plan anything or have a life).
off topic: i am a female officer and have almost three years on the job and i really want to work tact.
USALLY they put people with old farts for a reason. Maybe you should look at yourself closer, is there a reason, why they have selected to keep you out of the way???????

You want to beef about a veteran? You college schmucks are the reason the this dept sucks now. The Vet did his time, let him cruise out the rest of his career. My suggestion to you is SUCK IT UP! Like you said, You have less then 3 yrs on. There are going to more days that you "want this and want that". This is life, deal with what you have. If you want to be the real police, transfer out. There are 24 other districts in the city.
my crackberry is broke
Tell the old fart the truth! That he's become nothing but a dog a*s .... and take the lead after all you are driving so your in control. Step up girl!!!!!!!
I used to cruise the porn sites but SCC is much better stress relief without the mess.

we have all been there, try and find somebody on the watch you can partner up with and start by talking to the watch sec. everyone knows what time of day it is. don't get excited over tac its really isn't all that. however its a noble goal to have.
Another great idea, NOT!
Those dingle berries are cutting off almost every week now, and the fools who spend loads of dough to read their e-mail, LOL!

To the female officer, take it easy learn what you can from the old timer, he has 37yrs of knowledge behind him. If I were you and I was at one time, time on this job goes by fast. If you want to be aggresive learn the do's and don't first. If you are going to beef on your FTO, I believe you are heading down the wrong path. The people on this job don't forget, and you will not be trusted by your peers. Your time to be aggresive will come, but lets get past your PPO status first.

You don't have to beef on him. You should be helping him plan his retirement party. While your on the street, stop at a travel agency and pick out brochures for cruises. Put his name on mailing lists for anything senior related and use the district address. Maybe he'll get the hint. If you want to learn the job fast just bid into any southside district. You need to learn be smart and assertive because the men on this job will not take you serious.
Loved this on the radio. "Squad foot chase" Go Ahead? **62. "M/4...running in the gangway of *** block!" OEMC, "What's he wanted for"? Short Pause. "Uh...obstruction of traffic?"
Can't wait til that one hits federal court.
Hahahahaha! Priceless!
to the female wanna-be tact officer.....
Im sure there is a reason why you work with this "37 year veteran"...
Also..I have never met anyone on this job to call a squad car a "cruiser".....
Are you really who you say you are?
To the female P.O.: This Dept. does not want anyone to be the "real" police any more. Keep in mind he has 37yrs. on the job, you have 3yrs. He does not and should not get into any bullshit, cause you want to do your thing. Find a partner,or will no one work with you?????????????
"Emergency stashes of Kool-aid had to be brewed and administered via enema."
Presumably by request (via enema).
I'm sure more than one of the bosses saw that there were no messages coming through and thought they had turned it off prior to dumping him.
Ok people.
You are taking the 3 year female post WAAAAAAY too seriously.
It's obviously a joke, building on the poster we used to have talking about riding in his "cruiser" (a non-Chicago term), driving with no shoes on and basically being a dog his whole career.
The poster is pretending to be an unfortunate female with this goof as an FTO.
Take it for the humor that it is and stop responding so seriously to it.
A few years ago I was at HQ for a star retirement ceremony, and it was quite impressive, however, no less than 3 exempts, that I could see, were reading and responding on their blackberries. I am now sorry that I did not point this disrespect out to the Supt. There was no excuse, there was not a thing going on of importance in the City, I checked. Furthermore, the cost of them, along with the free cars to the people who make the most money is beyond ridiculous to me!!!

I smell a troll, no one calls the "squad" a "cruiser". Sound like bullshit to me.
Those blackberry's have turned those who have one the most foolish kind of people. Example: your in the middle of a conversation that could affect your career, the blackberry goes off and so stupid reads it, then responds like you weren't even there.

Geez I was sure it was a typical "bullshit" story that a lot of "readers" place on this website I didn't think you SCC would do that but I have to give you kudos for doing it!! Come on guys half this shit written is from outsiders trying to find out information from us and some of you responded like idiots!! I'm sure it's because she said she was a female. It is quite embarrassing that officers would answer it a "cruiser" come on be real, takes his shoes off pleeezz. oh wait some of the responses may be from outsiders as well....one can only hope
"Ok people.
You are taking the 3 year female post WAAAAAAY too seriously."
This is likely because it rings true to some.

Does this 'female officer' call him Daddy, yet?
Anybody who took that female polices post for real needs a koolaide enema, wow.
If this young PO is being honost, quit busting her balls. She came up and asked for advice. To those that gave it, I wish there were more of you on this job. To the assholes that ripped into her go fuck yourselves you self rightous sonsabitches. We are here to help each other cause no one else does.

The problem with this site ( and the internet in general ) is that way too many people believe every word they are reading, never realizing that more than half the posts are straight up trolling, or just complete drunken BS!!!
It was hilarious when you first started: I actually witnessed one exempt dress down another one for not telling him that the Feds arrested a CPD member, only problem was that it never happened. Someone posted it here and bosses actually started yelling at each other for being kept out of the loop...priceless!

Give it another day or two and the truth about 111th and Central Park will come out. The Economist will have egg on their face shortly. Check out the history of calls for service on that block back to Sep 2007, and you will see where I am going with this.
You have nothing to fear on this one.

Burglars wanted information, possibly about Chicago cop "
"Polick [sic] also declined to comment on information posted on the Second City Cop Web log, which said the woman's boyfriend was an officer in the South Chicago district and his brother is a cop in the Chicago Lawn district.
Commenters on the blog said the woman had called police an hour before the break-in after seeing two suspicious men in the alley and that she later had been forced to strip by the burglars."

Governor is urged to resume executions
Birkett, GOP legislator say system has been reformed
By Art Barnum | Tribune reporter
10:32 PM CST, February 12, 2008
DuPage County State's Atty. Joseph Birkett joined a Republican lawmaker Tuesday in urging Gov. Rod Blagojevich to resume executions, saying Illinois' death-penalty system has been reformed.
"We encourage the governor to follow the law," said Birkett, president of the Illinois State's Attorneys Association. "It has been eight years since the moratorium was imposed."
To that end, state Rep. Dennis Reboletti (R-Elmhurst) said he has introduced a House resolution asking Blagojevich to resume executions.

"The death penalty is the law of the state and it should be enforced," said Reboletti, who pointed out that Illinois juries have sent 12 people to Death Row in recent years. "We shouldn't ask jurors to impose the death penalty and not have the courage to carry it out."
But Blagojevich, who first ran for governor in 2002 as a death penalty proponent, plans to stand pat. He'll "keep the moratorium on death penalties in place until it's clear beyond a doubt that the reforms put in place . . . are adequate and working and there's no chance that an innocent person will wrongfully be put to death," spokeswoman Abby Ottenhoff said Tuesday.
