TRU Downsizing
We gleaned a bunch last night at a drinking establishment or three along with an e-mail or two. We had club sodas all night long.
Seems TRU is downsizing. At least one platoon. That means like 80 cops, 8 sergeants and an lieutenant. It also explains some of the transfer order moves. If people had a better spot or needed an out, this was the opportunity to move before being placed out.
And speaking of the transfer order, there sure was a lot of movement using the "F" and "G" designations. We think those stand for Exempt Staff and Not Subject to Bid. But there were a bunch of them - not surprising seeing as how many exempts movements there were.
More surprising was the number of supervisors being moved south from existing spots. A whole bunch of people got moved as "B" and "C" options. Is this punishment for certain former minions?

The transfer order out friday has only one current member of TRU leaving, a LT. The Sgts. on the list were detailed out over a year ago. However if what is being passed on to the Sgts and P.O.s is true, that the new commander wants the officers to pass felonies on to district officers and concentrate on stopping crime through numbers of officers in the DOC (not arrests) you can expect a big move out in the near future.
Yes, it's true. I'm laughing at all the guys thinking they could get their cherry popped in TRU. Not to mention names, but A LOT of coppers are going to be very sad when they find out their TRU phone call "hung up" on them.
Now you pukes can work a beat car as it should have been all along.

-006 po
Lt. Schweiger and your wife ........we hardly knew you, but you will both be missed at ALL of the specials throughout the city. P.S. stop calling in for favors now unless its O.T. in 004!
Can anyone give a shout out on what lieutenants went where please?
2 year wonders in TRU better bid out next period or you will be sent to 1st watch in 004,005 or 006.If you are detailed to TRU and from one of those disticts you will be going to 1st watch from the district to which you are detailed from.The train ride has ended.
tru is not downsizing. they are splitting the deployment in half. Instead of the "platoon" being in say just 007, half will be in 007 and half will be in say 006.
Just dispering them more throughout the city.
Stay tuned to the airports.
More dumps coming before there is an influx of fresh faces.
Get ready to bid into the most lucrative ($$$$) unit in the city.
One clown already hit the $45,000 mark.

So............how come no Catholic school kids shot? Maybe it's the GANGSTER lifestyle? Maybe that's it you MORON!
I just looked at the Mette petition. I can't believe we don't have a thousand signatures yet. I thought we had them a week ago. Time to get back on it.
We are being split and deployed in differnt ways. We are responding to 1A jobs to help the district that we are in only in the DOC. If a report is needed we advise the zone and they will send a beat car. We are not downsizing in fact we were told that all open spots will be filled at the start of 5th period.
Hey 006 po,
You must be the biggest a-hole in 006 to make a statement like this. Remember who treated everyone in 006 like shit. Those officers who left 006 went to TRU to get away from the B.S. First, I didn't use a phone call. Second, I worked a beat car several years in 006 dealing with the nonsense. Get some time on the job and learn to keep your mouth shut before you blast your fellow officers.
Dumbass.

013 3rd watch lost a prince of a guy; mysteriously hustled off to 011. Hope to see you back soon KS. He was the voice of reason on a watch gone mad.
Bring back the school unit.
to 3/23/08 2:25AM The common denominator is.... guns by themselves don't kill. It's the assholes using them that kill.

I hope dat it ain't TRU!
TRU is DOWNSIZING?
Didn't think we could hire any shorter officers that were already in TRU!
Shit, we are going to have to hire even shorter midgets!

Do tell who is getting dumped, but don't be jealous if someone makes more that you!

-----------------------------------
Commander Williams and Dept Supt Shields addressed a roll call at TRU. They said not to pass up on good arrests (guns,dope, etc) but the unit will no longer be a number driven unit (contact cards, anov's, blue cards, dispersals, etc).
They just want high visibility to keep the bodies from dropping.
But then they make the call to cut the number of PO's in a given area by half to disperse them out more in the city. That will probably bite them in the ass though when a body drops in a DOC.
Now you pukes can work a beat car as it should have been all along.

Good to know that a 006th District beat officer is a deity and any other PO is a puke.
Thank god I am retiring soon, no commrodare with you guys these days. And Daley knows it. Disgusting.
Word from the new Commander is that we're not going anywhere - strait from the horse's mouth. Looks like the South Side lazy dogs will still have TRU around to make arrests for them. That is of course, unless we are forced to give our arrests over to the tact team, as suggested by the same fearless leader.

Make arrests yourself. Court time pays very well. Try arresting DUI's. There are many clowns on this job that know the system instead of complaining.
Plenty of asses being assigned to chairs for Administrative duties at headquarters. BAS Admin, BIS Admin, BAP Admin....

not if they are white. can't send no whities over there!
TRU is downsizing because not enough officers can pass our TRU Special Forces Selection and Assessment, which is 28 grueling days long, followed by the 12 month long "TRU Q" Course. How the hell did you guys think we earned the title of elite anyway? The only easy day was yesterday!

Maybe we should pass them off to the tact teams, maybe then they'll have some numbers...wearing a carthart jacket and dirty jeans does'nt make you the police, but in 011 they look really cool....
Now here's a perfect example of why you TRU fucks are hated in damn near every district you go to. Last time I checked you wear a blue shirt, SO DO THE FUCKING PAPER YOURSELVES YOU WET BEHIND THE EARS DOUCHEBAG!!!
Not defending TRU but the point of the unit is to be out there making lots of stops. High visibility=no one getting shot in that area that night.
Putting them down on paper jobs would be ridiculous. Don't blame them if Daley isn't hiring any more PO's.
And lastly, calm down. Relax, it isn't that serious. I for one appreciate having them in my district. More backup in case some shit hits the fan.
OT: Whenever I see TRU mentioned in the papers it is prefaced with "elite" officers.
1. Didn't they used to say that about SOS?
2. They do that in my agency (make distinctions between co-workers) which only offends the "non-elite" and embarasses the "elite".
It's a practice that should be stopped everywhere because what it suggests is that some employees are better qualified than other employees who share a common mission or goal. It sets people apart from one another which is NEVER good for overall morale.
11:31--DO TELL who the 006th dist po's are that think TRU is going to help them get out of 006?

TRU is for the po's who are afraid to answer calls in the ghetto. 006 is where the wheel meets the road...
First off, jagoff the term "popping the cherry" came from SOS...not TRU. We were the ones popping police cherries because we were the BEST of the BEST. SOS will always be the Kings of CPD....

I too would like to know the names of the officers leaving 006 for TRU, because I want to know who to place on suicide watch once their phone call is dismissed.
Boys, you aren't going anywhere...you are staying in 006 and if you don't quit yer bitching...you will be placed on Mids. PUSSIES!!!!!

I hope you're not bragging. Ten years ago they weren't saying "getting your cherry popped" in SOS. WTF happened in the interim? You really ARE an asshat.

Hey douchebag, alot of the guys in TRU were working in the ghetto answering calls when you were still in high school trying to play stink finger for the first time.....
I work in TRU, my comment is for all you trashtalkers...why are you where you are..choice..then why trashtalk fellow officers...My guess is you dont have any time,were dumped from the unit or another unit..or you didnt make any friends along the way who thought you were worth a piece of shit to tell you to go to a unit or could get you into a unit..most of the good cops are in decent spots and not bitching about where they are at..and there were alot of good fuckin cops at SOS that got shit on because of a few assholes in their unit! and no im not formerly sos..

What is the difference between one blue shirt riding around making stops and another is my point. Especially if some TRU car is the first one to respond, hear the witness' and victim's stories, walk all over the crime scene, yada, yada, yada. And between saturation teams, rapids, and beat cars and if the fucking tac/gang teams stayed in the district they're assigned we would have no need for that joke of a unit. Their whole success story is that agg batts/homicides have gone down since they started and that's turning out to be a bunch of bullshit. Dump the whole unit and man the districts to capacity where they belong. And I'll calm down when your mother returns my phone calls.......Had to throw that in there.

Hey Hard Charger,
You need to realize that most of the good P/Os in 006 and--most likely yourself--are caught between that wheel and the road you speak of. All others have already been run over. 006 just like 005 is either a starting point or a dumping ground for a lot of people on this job. If you ever wondered if there is a better working environment out there the answer is.. yes. If you never asked yourself this question, or came to the above conclusion then shame on you. The smart P/Os get out when they can... nothing you do is going to change the hopeless situation there of revolving malcontent supervisors and upper management. No incoming Sgts., Lts., etc. would honestly tell you they're happy to have landed there, and their staying. The P/Os who stick around need to realize this is a big department and there are 25 dists. to bid to. I'm certainly not naive enough to think that you can actually get to all of them...but why not try. There are no glory points for sticking it out in the ghetto even if you were assigned there from the academy and it's the only thing you know. To the guys that left for TRU they just took advantage of one of the better lateral moves any P/O could make without needing a phone call. Whether or not that unit survives and everyone is sent back to a dist., smart coppers will always take advantage of a good situation and know how to make the best out of a bad one. Unfortunately, there are also those who don't know the difference between the two.

Get over yourself....You guys are gone because you couldn't control yourselves....That holier than thou attitude is what got your beloved SOS dumped.
Rumor has it that the downsizing of TRU is the first step before the indictments come down. Get rid of as many as possible, then when the s++t hits the fan the unit will be disbanded. Volgaris is gone and they cant blame the new boss.
Lt. Ingram from 005 is headed to be the Lt. for TRU. The "Merit

I wish I could be the real police, like these 006th district P.O.s. You know maybe if you were the real police you wouldn't need T.R.U. in your district. Stop being affraid of those mean gang bangers on the corner and put a stop on them. Or better yet go answer your domestic call and let someone else stop them. You'll just drive by them anyway, 19P right.

Appreciate the gallows humor.
With a little range time, these yungsta's could solve everybody's problems.
Shit, if this burg had CC, and everyone put in their time at the range, we could, in a very short period, see the homicide figures go waaaaay up and the rest of the figures for non-homicide crimes go waaaaaay down.
Does this area have enough grave space to handle the overflow?
Or would the crematoriums be cooking 24/7?

To the Fact Checker of 006,
So between your acting FTO and the two dudes you know from the academy no else in 006 would like to be in a unit even it's TRU. When did 006 ever become a good place to be? It never has and never will. Get out and see more of the city asshole. No matter how long you drive on 79th St., it still only runs East and West. Or better yet stay where you and keep living the CPD/006 dream so one less poor slob doesn't have to get dumped there. Keep up the good work and remember to have a Sgt., sign off on your stellar FTO evalutions everyday.
Is it Tru that Lt. OB is going to be the biggest thing to land at O'Hare? Look out O'Hare Wonders it's hot pants and segway time! No early arriving flights please.

__________________________
I don't believe that it's a Rule 14 violation to take an arrest from someone as long as you write it exactly as it happened and do not claim to be on the scene when you were not. Of course, it might be a violation of some other rule or order, and it won't go anywhere in court since the attesting officers didn't see anything -- which is why it's a dumb idea and further proof that our bosses don't give a shit about convictions.
