Pax 501
In the latest PAX 501, J-Fed wants to thank everyone for a job well done. He further states that this is the best police department in the country. We won't disagree, just because it would seem impolite and we haven't worked for every department in the country, so we lack the necessary insight.
This paragraph is interesting though:
This paragraph is interesting though:
- Recently, several departmental changes have made news headlines prior to an internal formal notification process. Please be assured that it is my goal and desire to ensure that, whenever possible, members are notified about changes that may have an impact on their day-to-day operations and responsibilities.
Reading into the "whenever possible" portion (which we take to mean "never") and the "impact on their...operations and responsibilities" phrase (which we'll interpret as "if it isn't your bureau, butt out"), we sense a chill wind blowing. Information might be about to become a rare commodity. While the feds believe in "decentralization," they also believe in compartmentalizing sensitive items, and decentralizing facilitates secret keeping. We've all heard the stories about the left hand not knowing what the right was doing because someone wouldn't share info.
We seem to recall someone, Starks maybe, attempting to make exempts responsible for information leaked out of their offices (memos, drafts, orders, etc.) This ran contrary to decades of police operations where information was the currency of the realm. Whoever controlled the info had the power (or the appearance of power). Certain people always knew when a choice spot was opening up somewhere. Others could beat the paperwork deadlines and have all the necessary attachments on hand via some mysterious power. And how about the headquarters crew always sweeping the top exam spots despite an inordinate amount of time spent far from actually honing job skills in a practical manner?
Leaks have always been the order of the day. Why else would the Department have had a Rumor Central PAX line set up for years? Why else would we get 10,000 visits on Friday?

I DONT CARE HES HOT! HE CAN COMPARTMENTALIZE ME ANY DAY!
the hairs on the back of my neck are starting to stand up again-- its an old indian thing-- is j-fed really a wolf dressed in sheeps clothing. a bloody weekend in chicago- 4 homicides and numerous people shot. j-fed what are you going to do about this. since you and your fbi buddies want to be the police, get a car from the area and make a few pinches. you can start with a few uuws and clear up a couple of agg batts. you are wearing the uniform, do the job. whoops, silly me, do you know what a uuw is or do you know who rides under the fin or under the forks. this isn't an xbox 360 game baby, this is real. so since you have zero tolerance for alleged misconduct by po's i have zero tolerance for a boss who is clueless. =======>------
Whatever. Good sgt, good tour. Bad sgt, bad tour. Leave me alone, back me on paper, reward my hard work, all is well. that simple. our exempt ranks are so friggin bloated it doesnt matter who is in charge of what, as long as MY direct boss takes care of me, Im good.

Most exempts are clueless. Many have not worked the street since leaving the academy many years ago. Maybe he might do rides with working PO's if ODPO's would stop screwing up. He cannot ignore crimes committed by PO's. New time for us, so stop drinking and stealing. Uniform has little meaning when you commit crimes. It is your actions that speak loudly.
Yea like the "info" will not leak! We have more leaks than the titanic! The clout is still in and will continue to run this dept regardless of who is in charge!
Get off the uniform for flips sake! How long are we gonna drag this dead horse subject to death. Any ass and half can wear a CPD uniform anyway. It's what's IN the uniform that makes it.
He canceled the DOC meeting because the numbers are all way up. Even homicides.
13,500?prove it j-fraud,its a lie and everyone knows it,if we had 13,500 we wouldn't have a manpower problem,right?
Somebody please make the man take off the uniform....maybe he will be a good superintendent but he has not earned that uniform.....
Off topic get whoever is negotiating for SWAT to work on our contract.These guys bypassed FOP and got 35th street by the short hairs.Word is the senior members of SWAT took the bull by horns and told 35th sergeants pay and take home cars or no SWAT team. Looks like their going to get it. Hope the rest of us get cost of living. We need leadership like this in patrol.
I think the caveman should wear the original police matron uniform since he is the mayors bitch!!
This guy should not be in our uniform unless he is going to make some pinches... oh wait he can't he's not a cop!!
Take your fed ass and all your fed buddies out of our uniforms. You guys are all a bunch of wannabees!!
You feds will never get the respect of the Chicago Police Department!!!
You don't even know how many police there are in this city-13,500 yeah right wake up and tell the truth!!!
Uniform is a non issue. Move on already. Unifrom does not make the officer. Actions count. He wears the uniform only to show respect to the department. Abbate and JF also wore the uniform. BFD!
Jody, with all due respect this is not the FBI and we don't want to be the FBI. Info is gonna get leaked. Just do what you gotta do and let the heads roll. Cancelling black friday seemed kind of childish, like a kid taking his ball and leaving the park because the other kids don't play fair.
Enough about J-Fed wearing the uniform. Have you looked around lately. I would rather have him back me up then 80 percent of the sloppy, fat, ignorant, baseball hat wearing morons that wear the uniform.
Over 500 officers who were killed in the line of duty wore the uniform, not one fed.

You say this because you are not slpy fat or ignorant and I'm sure you never worked with a fed before either.
I would rather work with the fatest ugliest sloppiest copper than work with a fucking fed.

cause they dont wear uniforms they wear suits
I wonder if Lil J. Edgar Hoover has Zero tolerence for crooked Mayors?
Can we get rid of these knit hats?
Was on a scene and a Sgt. had one on. He looked like fucking Slingblade.
J-Fed will look good with a uniform...dark blue w/DETENTION AIDE patches. that is as closeset he will gwt to wearing one.

I could not agree more with this one....those hats look ridiculous. I know that we need to keep warm, but who designed them? If you wear it correctly (star in front) the seams pop up and we look like mickey mouse. I have some stocking hats that I wear and they don't look like that. I am willing to bet that someone got a sweetheart deal on the contract, and that the R+D did absolutely no R at all. All they had to do was put one on. Dumbasses.
Holy Shit Stain Batman!!!
Just read the line of comments. The fucker that keeps wanting us to get off the uniform subject is a federal plant. Kick he's ASS boys and girls. Tell these jag offs to stay off line!
J-Fed looks like general leave-it-to-beaver in a Halloween custom.
Again with the uniform topic. Give it up, folks. Move on to important items. Most P.O.'s do not care about J-FED wearing a uniform. This is a non-issue every where except in blog. He is the boss and will make necessary changes. Cline is gone.

Absolutely! and also get rid of that stupid beany-boy cap. There is no respect like the respect we are given when the real police show up in leather jackets and the authoritative crown hat pulled down close to your eyes.
It is ass-kicking time!!!
I would rather work with the fatest ugliest sloppiest copper than work with a fucking fed.

If you really prefer to work with fat ugly slobs instead of intelligent feds, please give those of us who are sick of working with d'bags a warning so we can avoid you.
Can we do something as a union to impeach this new Superintendent? There must be something that can all do to let him know that he is not being well received by the troops. Please do something FOP!!
