Murders Up?

Someone said in the comments that the homicide rate was up for the year so far.

We also noticed in the recent Pax 501 from the Superintendent's Office that he was quoting the "13,500" number that is demonstratively false.

Is the manpower shortage that everyone is noticing daily in the districts about to rear its ugly head?

Holy Fudge Packers Batman!!!

Crime is up and will increase all year round. Chicago might make it to the top of the national list for murders this year. The media will have a field day.

13,500 cops. Where are they? Add it all up! Must be ghost pay-rollers. Never seen that many. More like 9,000. Unless they are including retirees living in Florida, Arizona, and elsewhere.

The photograph speaks a thousand words. Don't waste your time reading the text. Just laugh out loud at the police impersonator!

I was at the 008th District roll call w/ J-FED, he was very interested in meeting the guy who won the 3rd watch mustache contest. J-FED was also very impressed w/ the caliber of officers that participated in the contest along w/ the great turn out at the mustache party. Keep up the morale!!!

Do you think that they will be hiring more cops since they are a few thousand short? Somehow telling people there are 13,500 officers and being a few thousand short does not seem to be honest. I wonder what they will do with the skyway money and raised taxes? What about all the funds for the new trafic cameras? I wonder whose pockets will be getting lined there.

these idiots can shoot each other all day long. just a paper job and some phone calls. if it starts happening where i live it will be time for old school police work. manpower has been short at district level for many years. to many guys coming out of the box getting held down on bs doc crap, etc... if a district is in a backlog how can you take 3 or 4 10-4 units and hold them down.

Officers please talk to your teenagers about the importance of Respect and Appreciation when a fellow copper looks out for your kid.
Case in point… I was RDO tonight and just finished a side job and was driving home (in BT: 2211). I observe one fucked up drunk driving m/2/17yr old. He blows the 3 lights on 103rd St. and then comes to a stop (passed out) on a side street. Yes, I was curious so I drove up to the car. It had an FOP medallion on the bumper of this “piece of shit minivan.” The kid was asleep. Yes, I fucked up & went against my better judgment- I helped him.
I woke him up, he said his dad was 5.0 and he gave me his address (about 1 ½ blocks up). I parked my ride and then slide him over to the pass. seat and drove him home. Upon getting him home (where an unmarked crown vic. was parked in the driveway) the kid panics and demands the keys back so he can drive away. I ignore junior and walk to the door. He has the fucking balls to threaten to hit me if I knock, but I knock anyway (he didn’t do shit). Then the kid opens the door himself and screams just like a shithead, “Dad, dad, there is some JAG-OFF copper down here that wants to talk to you.” Dad comes down and IDs himself as the police and I return junior & the keys to dad and I leave, The End.
I’m not looking for a pat on the back, I’m just making the observation that “professional courtesies” to police families are far and few between these days-don’t be an asshat to the copper. BTW, dad could have offered to give me a lift back to my car, oh well. Next time I guess junior can deal with Evergreen Park issuing him a DUI. Maybe I learned a bigger lesson here than junior.

For that asshat on another post crying about all those people getting shot blah blah blah and stating that Sons Of Supervisors unit got disbanded and there is no one left to keep it under control. what's the matter you lost your tip on the west side? Please go to TRU and become an FTO show them how real police work is done. how you catch a murderer a rapist and a good weight pcs pinch in one night and still have time left over for a lunch. I hope you are the police or at least claim to be. why aren't you stopping all these shootings? Huh there super crime fighter.

Since J-Fed has arrived the murder rate has risen!! There are many reason for this:
1) People are doing the minimal at work and the supervisors that were once supportive of the patrolman are now backing away.

2)With J-Fed conducting "operation clean-up" everyone is cautious of their work, after all J-Fed is looking to make examples of anyone who conducts themselves of the traditional way of policing.

3)I hope he is seen as an "idiot" who provides no solution to the homicide rate!

Hey FOP your new letter is starting to look like the enquirer. How about printing some facts, so we as police that WORK THE STREET know what we're dealing with. How about FOP tells us, or lie to us about the true number of police we have at the current time.

And FOP dont count the retirees.

About 22 years ago; four gang crimes west officers developed information that eventually cleared 500 garage burglaries in 016 and other parts of the NW side and recovered a lot of the proceeds from the fences.

I sincerly believe that they could do it again. Give them a chance to form that same team again.
One is a tac Lt, 1 Sgt, 1 PO in intelligence, the other retired.

They knew something about street level investigations.

I'm not saying all are bad because after one time I told a kid's parents that he was disrespectful towards my partner and I, the dad bitch slapped his kid in front of us and made him say sorry to us-That was better than an arrest any day.

i used to keep the numbers for gun recoveies in sos and in the time before the finnegan scandal hit
sos was recovering over 100 guns a period sometimes over 200 a period.
they lead the city in gun recoveries for years at least 5 to 1 over any other area, district, or unit...... including tru!
well now that is gone it can only lead to a spike in murders. you can bash the sons of supervisors all you want, but they did get guns, please don't ramble on about how they violated rights to do it, thats not the point here, and besides they gone now. let the show begin

I would have called 911 and reported and driver asleep behind the wheel.

Who cares, we have all learned how they got all their guns, absolutely not police work. The way they are recovered now mirrors the way they should be recovered, good old-fashioned police work, street stops, traffic stops and warrants; no more h/i's, "turn-ins", deals etc. those days are long gone, if you ares still playing that game you are a fool. Don't pimp for the city. Also, the goofy tac lt. in 011 now wants 5 arrests per car per day...lol no wonder the subs, drinkers etc. are thru the roof there, that is what happens when you trade quantity for quality.

Think it was 38 or so homicides in January. But the number dropped dramatically in February to about 16. However, with warm more stable weather lately, there have been much more shootings/homicides. 7-9 already in March. That and there is an ongoing gang conflict (La Raza vs Latin Saints) in 009 that not even the mighty TRU has been able to quash.

Also, let's not forget there has already been 1(one) triple homicide and 3(three) double homicides.

This summer is going to be very bad. A lot of people expected last summer to be out of control, but it wasn't. This year I'm 90% positive we will get back up to 500 homicides. 008 and 009 will both see rises. And I'd say expect abnormally high numbers in 004 and 006 if they don't do something about the man power issue. 005, 010, and 015 will also have it's share of problems. 003, 007, 011, 025 will all be what they usually are good for 30-40 homicides each.

In past years, "students" murdered in the summer months were often not classified as CPS students. Remember to fill in that Occupation box on your GOCR as "CPS Student" even in the summer.

Stay safe and be sure to accurately record crime statistics.

RUMOR from 35th street- the LTs list will be coming down & a new test submitted. The old test had too much CHEATING! A few SGTs. on the Lts list had way way to close of scores to not have cheated....

What difference does it make. The cheaters were already made!

That is an absolutely disgusting story. Letting a drunk driver go because he's related to a cop. You are a scumbag of the lowest order. "not looking for a pat on the back ..." You should be looking for a kick in the ass, immediate firing and loss of your pension, you shite.

And yet somebody in this thread is going to ask again why people don't respect the cops. Wow!

Hey asshole, who the fuck are you to say anything. Thousands of drunk driving, average citizens, not related to anyone, have been driven home over the years by policeman on and off duty..Yes, that's right..If we arrested every drunk driver some nights there wouldn't be a policeman left on the streets to come when your scary ass hears a noise outside your window. It's called discretion and whether it was an "appropriate" use of discretion or not, it was done and will continue to be. All we can hope and pray for is when you eventually fuck up, and you will, the officer who catches you does everything straight by the book....

What did you accomplish but enable the alcoholic teen to continue his very dangerous behavior.

and

Remember what a great guy you are when that kid kills another kid, maybe even yours. In short - Fuck You. You are no doubt a drunk trying to redeem his shitty and pathetic life.

PS - My daughter Liz was killed by a drunken teen in 1978 while walking home from a dance.
You need to be beaten till your eyes bleed!

...................................

And I'll bet any money that the guy who killed your daughter had been arrested more the once for drunk driving..Shame on you for giving this man a hard time. Arresting anyone does nothing to detour their behavior in the future, especially in this democrat ridden, liberal county of Cook. That's why we have so many repeat offenders. What needs to happen is parents need to start being parents again and the system needs to start punishing people for the crimes they commit...And I too was run over by a guy high on dope and spent over a month in the hospital..Direct your anger at those who could actually change something like judges..

So Chicago will finally look like the shit hole it is! Except for the yuppie areas and down town districts!

Then there will be press releases how the stats were phony or falsified under the "old regime" that were to make those in the past look like "heroes".

Smoke and mirrors?

Jody will not look bad he will have all problems blamed on past regimes!

That is why he was brought in.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out how much bullshit WAS pumped into our department so people could keep an inside job or continue working at 35th st.

We all knew the Homicide rates were screwed with it doesn't take a genius to figure out a Death Investigation or Homicide. Same as Burglary or CDTP.

Who is foolin who here?

The papers were fooled once with our departments "confusion" or case classifying to show how safe the city was under the old regime.

Suggestion: To Patrol,

Just report it as it is.
Let someone else reclassify it if they want to.

That was what they did usually inside somwewhere after a report was submitted or while getting an RD # out in the street.

Not true, yes the Saints-Razas are on-going, but it happens either before TRU gets there or after they leave, or not in the DOC, (like Canaryville the other day) and while yes, Roy is a stroke, he has no bearing on what they do.

FYI Gangs, Vice, Narcotics, Asset Forfeiture will all be in uniform in 008/009 all weekend; if you thought it was saturated now, just wait. Bring a good, book, dvd or other hobby to pass the time, it will be dead out there.

i used to keep the numbers for gun recoveies in sos and in the time before the finnegan scandal hit
sos was recovering over 100 guns a period sometimes over 200 a period.
they lead the city in gun recoveries for years at least 5 to 1 over any other area, district, or unit...... including tru!
well now that is gone it can only lead to a spike in murders. you can bash the sons of supervisors all you want, but they did get guns, please don't ramble on about how they violated rights to do it, thats not the point here, and besides they gone now. let the show begin
sos desk guy

Sorry but how they violated rights is the main reason they got all the guns they did; if the rest of the department could do the things they did the numbers would have been the same. Not being accountable for anything and having zero supervision are focal issues!

Stop arresting DUI's? You are a absolute, complete asshole. I hope a member of your family meets a drunk driver on the road and then complain about DUI's. Arrests will work. There are many in prison today because of DUI's. There are judges that convict. The real problem are do nothing PO's that refuse to write DUI's or take drunk teens home to drive drunk again. Such a pathetic state of affairs.

In fact I didn't even retake part two. So go ahead and demote me, I could use a good payday and a bump up to Captain when my law suit is settled.

Some of you coppers that live in 022 should be putting your foot up your kids asses. Coppers kids making asses of themselves starting fights, jumping on people for just walking on the street is getting insane. And these same kids use you to defend them whenever they are stopped by some poor working policeman from 022. "Daddy, daddy, the asshole copper stopped me for no reason. Put a CR on him/her..."

This is nuts, who said don't arrest DUI's? Read the whole post again and if you can find where it says don't arrest DUI's, I'll kiss your bare ass. What it said was don't hate the guy who took the kid home, policeman have been driving people home, people related to no one and of all colors and walks of life since cars were invented, I'm sure. The other point is that it's a little naive to think arresting someone will change a behavior in all cases. Every policeman knows countless stories were repeat, repeat offenders were given "intensive probation." I alway liked that one, it stands for we really mean it next time. Of course drunk drivers should be arrested, of course we should aggressively look for them, they kill so many innocent people. But what is scary about you folks who get so political over one issue is you loose your human perspective. Everyone makes errors in judgments and unfortunately sometimes those errors are deadly. But when no harm or damage occurs and it's not a habitual drunk driver, some times compassion can go farther then punishment. I hate drunk drivers, probably more then you, I was the actual victim of one. But still, i recognize nothing is black and white and nothing works all the time.
