Good Call Ike
- "He's [Weis] stuck with the same number of resources. ... He's really trying to figure out where he can rob Peter to pay Paul," said Police Committee Chairman Isaac Carothers (29th).
- Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis said Thursday he plans more foot and bike patrols, a crackdown on "quality-of-life crimes" and a re-deployment of tactical teams to prevent the traditional surge in summer violence.
"I know we're talking about getting [more] officers on the street. But, that usually means they're in the cars. Is there a way they can ... walk the beat as they used to do?" asked Ald. Robert Fioretti (2nd).
Weis replied, "I'm a big fan of foot patrols. I'm a big fan of bike patrols. ... I've been pushing for as much foot time as possible. It's critical to have that interaction with police officers and the community to build up the relations that we need so badly."
Taking a page from New York City's "broken windows" theory of crime-fighting, Weis said Chicago Police officers need to start sweating the small stuff -- such as public drinking and street gambling -- when they're not responding to violent crimes.

I am a working police officer. it is a very sad day today. driving in the car i realized that policework is dead. no more being aggresive and going out looking for stuff to really f*ck these sh*theads. well, i hope the crime and homicide rates in the ghetto soar and they all kill eachother. im done, no more anything except backing up my friends in blue and going home enjoying my family.. imagine, im saying this with only 3 1/2 years on. i was really looking forward to being the police...oh well, only 26 1/2 years left till i retire. be safe
Who cares? If we can believe the papers, old Ike will be indicted soon. For his part, J-Fed is unlikely to last the full three years. When's the vote of no confidence? It's going to be a long hot summer.
Over the past 20 months the Chicago Police Department has promoted over 75 individuals to Exempt Rank Status, or higher. In this same period only 50 Officers have been promoted to the Rank of Sgt. What does this say about who the Brass feels is deserving of promotions. New Supt Weis has hired a minimum of five civilian positions in the Dept all making over 100 K annually in his first two months in office. However patronage is done? Hmmm
Ike rhymes with bike - go ride one! Ike also rhymes with hike - go take one!
Jody rhymes with Toady. What's the point? No point at all. 5th floor (the downtown one) still runs the game.

I almost fell of my chair when I read that. OK it was the Beer, please don't have the W/C come by my house for a sobriety test. Broken windows? C'mon, that's what CAPS was based on. As for me locking up someone for public drinking will you, Jag-fed, use the feds to indict me when the state and Police Board find in contrast with what you think I should have gotten when the person I lock up beefs? KMA Jag-Fed!
Speaking of all the new "work," one hears that recently promoted Aunt Bea Cuello is pissed at Weis. So is just about every Commander in the City. This guy Weis is losing the confidence of the exempts AND the patrolman --all at the same time! IMPRESSIVE!! Well done, J-Fed.
Sweat the small stuff? Make me. I don't want to drive to court for a bunch of petty bs. Take down the stupid pods, stop settling the bs lawsuits, prosecute the cases that do go to court, and I'll start locking up guys right and left just like I used to do before I stopped looking at this as little more than a job with crappy benefits. Hey J-Fed.... Cops don't like cameras, lawsuits, and the bs that comes with a clogged court system. Start with that, and the rest will take care of itself.

I'd like to see all the stupid ass coppers who thought Judy was the best thing to happen to this department. I told you two months ago to be careful what you wish for. It's happening people.......how long are we going to sit here and take it. I think a work slow down is in order. Just answer your calls and don't do anything more. If the w/c and commanders don't like it...it's too bad.... It's time to start worry and taking care of us......let this city run wild and let the liberals clean it up along with the b/s preachers.........

i believe this officer has it rightt. lets all sit back for one summer and let see if the record of 970 homicides can be broken.
dealing with the small stuff like drinking and pissers????? has j-fed ever been to one of our misdemeanor courts. they don't even fine them when they show up any more for city ordinance violations. walk up to the bench when your name is called and the judge says have a nice day, go home your case is dismissed.
cant do a dam thing with moral the way it is and the fact that you cant trust the supt knowing he will call on his feds to hurt us when he wants!
I went to a hockey game last night and a Chicago Public High School fight broke out!
i'm going to take a page from brothers I used to work with in 003. the 1st and the 16th. what's wrong with them I would think. now I say what's wrong with me. they had it right. please people stop being proactive especially if it generates revenue. we have no contract and you have seen the crap we have been offered. once again I say cps employees received 20% raises. in a city of equality we deserve at least that much.
how bout putting these handjob helicopter pricks on foot patrol so they stop flying over my house at all hours. what cha doing checking the house making sure wifey aint got a squeeze over...

We used to have that, it was called DOUBLE DAY, until the puke, kiss as lt's needed to make a name for themselves, ( etc..DJ, Leo S)............down the line...
I love riding my bike and I'm ready to help Ike and J-Fed!
I want Jody to know I tandem bike that I can use this summer during bike patrol.
My rear seat is usually reserved for high class trim from Lincoln Park but for J-Fed I'd be willing to use it for transports to the area or even Central D!
You know we'd be stopping for Eye-talian Ice on Taylor Street on the way down there!
Another copper even jump on my bike, we can roll 10-4 and ready to rock the DOC this summer!
Eh, woah, those dreams of summer days are on my brain!
On second thought, I think I'm gonna stay cooler by the lake while the West Side burns!
The only thing I'll rock is the Starbucks patio with a newspaper.
That's the only activity the city is gonna get out of me for their 1.1%!!!!!!!!!!!
4 more years to go and I ain't doing JACK for this city!
For the first 15 years I give my all, and I was in court 5 days a week. But after nearly 20 years of being screwed over on every contract, the bullshit beefs, the baseless lawsuits and skyrocketing taxes, I'm done.
Everybody else pretty much feels the same way. This latest contract is the last straw. If 'da Mare' believes you get what you pay for by giving J-Fed such an incredibly high salary, than why not pay the troops what we're worth?
Morale is at ZERO on this department. If J-Fed thinks we're going to enforce minor infractions the way New York did, he's in for a big surprise.
It's as simple as this... pay us a decent wage, or expect NOTHING in return! Hell, we can't even afford to live here anymore since our property taxes have doubled and they're taxing the shit out of everything in sight!
SCC - you may post this / you may not... I don't want to put any ideas in the powers to be heads,
but with all the talk of a unofficial work slow down, just answer calls, cut productivity on tickets, curfews, anovs, etc....
That is all well and good.
But don't be surprise that with the summer months coming on that due to "manpower needs" - it will become harder to get time due especially on the weekends, also, there's a special order out there on furloughs which basically states that you can only extend your furlough from the Sunday before the segment begins until the Saturday after your segment ends, if that is the case all the old timers with 7a or 7b furloughs who end up taking the whole month of July off by extending their furloughs will be a thing of the past as well as the 13a furlough with guys extending on the front to be off from Thanksgiving and going well into December or trying to extend 13a past Christmas which many of us do. That too, will be a thing of the past.
The days of arbitarily changing day off groups, watches, assignments are pretty much over for the districts, - but they can still hit us hard where it will really hurt.
when are we getting jet packs like in "Minority Report"?? .....f- walking!
J-Fed can sit there and talk all the bullshit he wants. NO MONEY NO WORK!!!!! Scenario: Lock up pisser, pisser fights, pisser beefs, federal lawsuit. NO MORE WORK!!!! I could give a shit about uniforms, and getting into shape and quality of life issues. Bottom line is money!!! Just ask Todd Stroker, Daley liar, and BlagoIwishLevinewasnttestifyin.
At first I thought J-FED was THE MAN, a genius. Now I think he's a brainless idealist (dufis).
You can bike and patrol on foot, but don't do anything stupid. J-FED with get his Fed buddies to stick you with a civil rights violation.
He can have the last pencil pusher walking the beat and it won't matter. Nothing will change! There's too much shit in this city to clean up.
Lost cause, sorry, 1st and 16th, nothing else matters!
Do the bare minimum! do too much and your ass will wind up on fed charges for violating pookies civil rights!
More retirements coming soon 35th & Michigan and pension board are receiving an average of 75 calls a day 65 more than usual. Wow things are really going to go to Hell a lot sooner than I thought. How about a buy out maybe I would go too. Lets just let the National Guard take over and call an end to the CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT.

And just how are we gonna do this without getting jammed like Bill Cozzi?
Or does the midget mayor's midget think that those drinking and gambling in public are gonna cooperate peacefully?
This guy doesn't have a fucking clue, does he?
FOP has got to step it up here and FAST. We as a collective group of individauls who have something in common ( THE COLOR BLUE ) must unite!!!!!! We must strike while the iron is hot. Daley wants the OLYMPICS so how about some pressure, strategy, a plan anything. We cannot continue in the direction we have been going. Wake Up FOP whats happening is not a nightmare its really happening!!!!!!! FOP we need you to UNITE US!!!!!!!!

What was the end result of the "broken windows" experiment in Chicago a couple years ago? oh yeah the bums, drug addicts and panhandlers filed a lawsuit and won, making president and a hole lot of changes regarding issuing ANOV's and arrests for petty offenses. I think the city tried to pay with winter coats and cloths and made a big fool of themselves and tied our hands even more.

Just so you know.... Supt Jody Weis can Administratively run this department, he can wear the uniform as allowed by Mayor Daley but he CAN NOT MAKE AN ARREST because he is not CERTIFIED by the State of Illinois as a peace officer. He has not completed the courses needed to be a peace officer in Illinois. Yes he was once a Federal Agent but the State has additional courses and hours that must be completed before your certified.
Placing his name on an arrest report can allow the defense to fight the arrest as to being legit!
Food for thought!
I hope some day I will be as smart as JFED.
Who would of ever thought of more foot patrols ect.
Like it hasnt been done before.
I got a better idea.
Why doesnt JFED work a foot post in 007, 011, 006, 005 or maybe even 015 for just one tour. Then he will be able to tell us how much of an impact it has on crime.
JFED, you sir are an idiot!
HEY SCC....
When is it going to get better?
I'm still holding my breath
how is J Fed "a big fan of foot patrols" when he has never done it before.???
I would like to see some leadership by example.
Is that asking too much?
I should have been a fireman
Broken Heads vs Broken windows Theory?Hmmm,One of these makes a greater impact on the unlawful community.This is one that the Federales cannot understand since they travel in packs of 30-50.We do it 2-4 Coppers.Figure it out.
OT. There is a way that PO's can fight back against the ever growing tyranny manifested by Rich "The Bitch" Daley. What is "The Bitches" #1 project? His crowning glory that will shine up his much tarnished image? The Olympics. So if he's going to carry on with his not so clandestine was against members of the CPD, then it’s time to fight back. To start with you can write letters to the International Olympic Committee and inform them of the appalling conditions PO's are working under. Explain to them that the CPD is going to be responsible for security if the Olympics come to Chicago. Inform them that morale on the CPD is almost beyond the point of redemption. And, that as long as Daley is mayor, the likelihood of any improvement is nil, especially if PO's have to work under the jackboot rule of Daley and his puppet superintendent, J-Fed. Secondly, with the warmer weather approaching, and festivals scheduled for downtown, document all the bullshit that PO's have to put up with on these details. Almost everyone has a cell phone with still photo and video capabilities so it shouldn't be hard to be inconspicuous when documenting the actions of the gang-bangers when they come to the Taste or other events. If the situation prevents you from overtly recording an incident, activate the camcorder option on the cell phone and just record the audio. Although the Olympics aren’t scheduled until 2016, the International Olympic Selection Committee will be announcing a host city for 2016 in the relatively near future. Maybe SCC can be the clearing house for documenting the mayhem the gang-bangers will cause this summer. If you don’t want to write to the IOC, call them. Anyone with a computer can get a SKYPE account. It would cost about .02 cents a minute to call them. If this guy is looking for a fight, let’s give him one. It’s time for the bugle to sound, as his HDO amigos would say, the "deguello," or no quarter to the enemy.

J-p himself can come out and address the quality of life issues on the west side.Put on your shiny new leather jacket, strap on your fbi pistol and make a few street stops and the west side with your fbi pal burst. Read the lines jody. No contract= no freakin activity. Keep screwing us over with threat of federal incictments and you will have a crime index beyond belief.
hey ike brother, well im white so im not your brother, but still dude you speak the truth...hey ass head J-fed you dont know shit..let us be the police again stop inditing us like you did to PO Cozzi..he did his time...J-Pud you dont know the first thing about being the police so stop trying to make our policies..J-Fraud you are an asshat
Go ahead put us on foot patrol, we'll just walk south side slow.

Actually, you have no idea if this is true. He can get a waiver for training, and in his case , I am sure he got it. The State of Illinois LETB isn't gonna deny a former FBI ASAC the certification. I am sure there has been at least 2 meetings (each quarter) since his hiring, and if the application was put forth, I would bet money they certified him.
Get off it already...

Aunt Bea is pissed at Jody? He should be scared of a five foot female. Then again, she has a lot of brothers.
what about the judgement against the 4th dist officers for making 1 of those quality of life arrests. Not me, police work IS dead
Any police text book and common sense will tell you that foot patrol is the least effective method of patrol. It makes the community feel great, but foot officers can't cover as much territory. As soon as the foot guy is 2 blocks away whatever illegal stuff was going on continues. Locking up drinkers etc. is a good strategy when combined with other tactics, but the Sup. obviously doesn't know how long a pinch like this takes, especially with the new inventory system. Off the street for an hour or so on small crime when people are being shot and robbed. The Sup. is really showing that he has no clue about police work.

I used to love being the police and I did for over 20 years. NOW, I hate it. Politicians,lawyers, judges, and media you will reap what you have sown.
"NO TO ST JUDE?" We walk for our own there guys! IF you feel the need to protest, then just do this: when we all walk in front of th FED turn your heads away! Show him disrepect! Let the media see that!
Holy quality-of-life Batman!!!
Does this mean writing more ANOV's?
Got a shortage of law enforcement strategies, mr. da-mayor?
Why do gang bangers kill each other?
Why do gang bangers violate gun control laws?
How do we reduce or eliminate public violence?
Hey you stuttering prick- they do it because it is part of the criminal “sub-culture”and they don’t give a fuck. Just like a terrorist suicide-bomber!
What does our city’s line of defense look like? Community? Or more importantly POLICE.
No- police are now human rights violators as J-Fed’s real mission is to target us and not crime. J-Fed thinks...the police will deal with crime and he will deal with us. Federal indictments are waiting for all you coppers who take a swing at anyone. Not just mis-guided officers who take a swing at idiots in wheel chairs or their wives caught cheating. But, anyone and everyone. If the State doesn’t prosecute. J-Fed will get the Federal indictment. So unless you got a force able felony to justify an ass kicking or shooting. Better do the Andy Taylor routine. Hey Aunt B!
More about J-Fed’s tactical thinking...
Why drive around in a vehicle with out-of-state plates and then act overtly? For us? No. For the commanders he just empowered. J-Fed can’t be everywhere so he makes appearances to spook your district commander, who in turn, thinking those commanders will get out there spooking your supervisors and YOU! All of our commanders are softballs loyal to some political whore. Most never made an arrest in years and they really don’t want to go to court...And they really don’t want to work a 24/7/365 job for $2.50 an hour.
If you see J-Fed or a commander out there trying to do police work...don’t try to handle the situation alone! Inform the dispatcher immediately and your supervisor. If they order you to make an arrest.. make the arrest...clearly state in the narratives who and how you were directed to make the arrest. Obviously- you did not witness the incident and most likely cannot testify against the accused in court. Provide the witness with court information. Be professional. Three years comes and goes fast. Having fun makes things go faster.
J-Fed is not focused on violent crime. He is going to leave that responsibility with the new executive command staff. Those hot potato stories like school kids killing each other and rising crime rates only annoys him because the only thing he wants to do is catch a copper dirty out there. He wants your ASS on a mantle! Only the politicians who are reading my words wanting to know what we are thinking and saying privately. FUCK YOU! Is what I have to say to da mayor and his followers.

All you have to do is video the bud biliken parade. That alone will kill the Olympics here.
J-Fed should know that it is more expensive to have foot officers than one in a beat car. A foot officer won't make good time on foot going three blocks away. A beat car responding over a mile away will beat the foot guy to the scene. Thats a nationally proven fact.
j-fed was in 003 last night... I don't have much too say other than he is shorter than i thought. i have no first impression... oh, he wasn't wearing his name tag.
In regards to the NYPD "broken window" campain. Yes, it does work. HOWEWVER, they poured lots of manpower ( time&half also pensionable), Days off with 8-12 hrs days shifts and talked to the men on the street and purchased new vans and special cars for the hire back program. In addition, the mayor and the bosses took the heat away from patrolman and sent them out to do a job. They protected their men while they worked!! Hows that for a radical idea?
The only way this will work is to bring patrol up to proper staffing levels, fix the fleet and leave the workers alone.
I KEEP TELLING THE YOUNG COPPERS TO TAKE IT EASY BECAUSE THERE WILL NOT BE ANY REWARDS FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK. THEY DON'T LISTEN UNTIL THEY GET HURT OR GET A CR, AND THEN THEY BITCH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. ANSWER YOUR CALLS, DO YOUR PAPERWORK CORRECTLY AND GO HOME TO BE WITH YOUR LOVED ONES AND YOUR PAYCHECK. ENJOY LIFE! THIS IS ONLY A JOB! THE CITY, CPD AND ALL THE LEADERSHIP DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT US! WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!
Got some info from a PBPA guy. Could this be the residency case we have been waiting for?
Sgt. in a northside district gets stripped in the fall for living outside the city. Case went to the police board last month. Sgt found not guilty on all counts and reinstated with full benefits. Sgt owned a condo in the city and a house in the burbs where his family lived and kids went to school. IAD investigation revealed that the majority of the time, something like 80% of the time he was watched, Sgt was in the burbs before and after work. Sgt was not divorced or separated. Police Board allegedly rules that ownership of property in the city is enough. Anyone have some more info on this? Is this the loophole we need?
On a side note, a captain testified on the sgt's behalf, the same captain/subject matter expert who is rumored to have run a "secret study" group which produced three sgts in the top 40 of the last Lt's class. This particular sgt in question was in the top 10 and will be made Lt when the next class is made, which makes it a grand total of 4 sgts in the top 40 who in some way have some relationship to this captain.
Coincidence? Did clout affect the ruling? Could a regular P.O. get away with this? Can anyone advise? A precedent has been set, does the police board have to decide every case the same way? This could be the out we are looking for.

GARY, Ind. -- A Gary police detective turned in his gun, badge and radio Thursday afternoon after Portage police identified him as a suspect in a drive-by shooting in their city last month.
Detective Cpl. Steven Andrus of Hobart, a six-year veteran of the Police Department, will remain on paid suspension for the duration of the investigation, Cmdr. Samuel Roberts said.
Andrus and at least three other Gary officers, as well as a fourth who recently obtained employment elsewhere, are suspects in the March 18 drive-by at a house in the 3000 block of Cooley Street on Portage's west side.
It might sound fucked up but I agree with sweating the small stuff, as long as its done in the right places and directed at the right individuals. Take that asshole gangbanger off the street for a few hours for a DPW or gambling just to let him know he's on your radar. I dont suggest sending all the tact teams out to lock up the bums, but hitting the buildings and doing a bunch of 'trespassers' that you know are running with the gangs anyway is probably going to keep them from getting shot/shooting someone else later on that night, no?
Jody has to make it easier to do this and BACK US UP ON THE BULLSHIT when the community is in outrage over the 'violation of rights' issues that the reverends immediately throw out there. Maybe he can even get on the news and reiterate the fact that if the parents knew where their children were more often, we wouldnt have to lock them up for the petty nuisance crimes, instead of cow-towing to the activists and reprimanding officers like the previous Superintendents have done.
Plain and simple: If you want the streets cleaned up, we need to get back to the days that the bosses had our backs, including the superintendent. A team gets a lot more accomplished when the coach and the manager backs up his players.
I went to a hockey game last night and a Chicago Public High School fight broke out!

wierd... I went to a chicago public high school fight and a basketball game broke out.
9th district Bikes......... Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!!!
Not only is the fleet in disrepair but my boots are old and worn out, my socks have holes in them and my feet hurt most of the time. It's a hell of a time to get this old war horse out on foot patrol! I might be looking into a desk assignment soon. A bid assignment.
Anyone look through the Tribune article on all the Chicago Public School students killed this year? Have you noticed a common thread, a pattern of any type? I never made detective but even my half blind eyes can see the dead kids are non-white. I did not see one Caucasian kid in there, there might be, I just didn't see any.
What do you suppose that means? Maybe Minister Meeks and Wright and Father Phlaeger ought to yell louder on Sundays. Must be the fault of guns, that's it, them damn guns keep killing the non-white kids.
Hey SCC, saying the fleet is in complete disarray was very kind of you. Our police/fleet, EMMD has been completely fucked up ever since the lover boy Mike Picardi, Lou Gehrig Tatara take over. There I said it and it needed to be said.
Is Pat Camden really gone? If so its just Jody the Jag making room for some other federal a- hole.
Bike and foot patrols are an obsolete romantic notion from another era. In this day when, despite over 10 years of CAPS, we are still "911 calls-for-service" driven and response times monitored, not workable. That "man shot call"? "Squad, I'm pedaling as fast as I can."
As for "the small stuff": The city tried that approach in the 1970's and 80's. Even formed a new bureau, The Bureau Of Field Tactical Services and made Joe McCarthy its first Deputy.
A lot of arrests. Some good ones, guns and such. Lot of BS, like DOPW and DC.
But that was before the days of event numbers for contact cards. And it went away when the minority communities complained.
The city is not going to take the backlash for enforcing its laws. They will not go after the unlicensed food vendors. Or the thumping car stereos.
And lastly, I doubt that we will hit the 970 homicides for the year. 700 looks doable, tho.......
This just in J-fed will no longer be doing DUI check points for off duty coppers. He is now going to be doing body fat percentage and uniform road blocks for on and off duty cops. I saw them loading the tread-mill, free weights, and seamstress in the war wagon at
35th. That is all...
At first, I thought, right, just like the old days. Check off with 6 or 7 disorderlys that took 1 hour to process, led to guns or dope. Broken window policing 70's style.
Now you get jammed if you hurt someone's feelings. Be smart, office. I'm there for you, my friends, and my family. Let them eat flamin' hots.
Jodi who are u crappin!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHHAAOOOOOOOOOWWWWWMAN....HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHH....foot patrols....hahahahhHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAH...jody.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH...homicides,shootings hahahahahHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Talked to Corp Counsel about that case and the P.O.'s were totally innocent.

"Taking a page from New York City's "broken windows" theory of crime-fighting, Weis said Chicago Police officers need to start sweating the small stuff -- such as public drinking and street gambling -- when they're not responding to violent crimes.
And just how are we gonna do this without getting jammed like Bill Cozzi?
Or does the midget mayor's midget think that those drinking and gambling in public are gonna cooperate peacefully?
This guy doesn't have a fucking clue, does he?
4/05/2008 01:05:00 AM
Please. Half the gang and tact teams in the city do these arrests every day to pump up the numbers (as well as nabbing the poor saps for selling loose squares or for CTTSSL). The problem with it is that the dope-selling, gun-toting punks know that when the tact guys go in with a couple of heads in the middle of the tour, they more than likely will not be out again.
FTO = means 'FIELD' Training Officer
. . most instructors are 5 year wonders who DO NOT WORK the street. They work Monday through Friday / DAYS and NEVER get their hands dirty.
Now we give 'em D-2 pay?
Just let me puke and let me off this fuckin' ride. Myself and a number of other coppers in my district have had enough.

_________________________________
Just so you know.... Supt Jody Weis can Administratively run this department, he can wear the uniform as allowed by Mayor Daley but he CAN NOT MAKE AN ARREST because he is not CERTIFIED by the State of Illinois as a peace officer. He has not completed the courses needed to be a peace officer in Illinois. Yes he was once a Federal Agent but the State has additional courses and hours that must be completed before your certified.
Placing his name on an arrest report can allow the defense to fight the arrest as to being legit!
Food for thought!
4/05/2008 03:44:00 AM
I believe there is a difference between being "on scene", "also arresting", and for that matter "assisting officers", all of which can be clarified in court. Think of all the times dozens of officers have been placed "on scene" at a major crime when an arrest is made. No one is claiming they helped make the arrest, it is just documentation of who showed up. If someone can explain otherwise, please do so.
Off the topic: My partner and I were at an incident last night when a supervisor responded to the scene. It was just ridiculous how this was handled by another LAPA(Latin American Police Association) merit hack. As we sat there and watched this circus we started naming all the LAPA people who have been promoted and are or were in way over their heads. I will name a few then if anyone else has a few please chime in.
1.) Ed Lenti
2.) Jose (Joe) Velez
3.) Lucio Martinez
4. ) Rick Guerrero
5.) Gusty Gonzalez Brennan
6.) Ozzie Valdez
7.) Lupe Pena
8.) Tony Ceja
9.) Ceasar Guzman
10.) Art Parra
Whats even worse it only took us about 30 seconds to come up with the names listed above.

I CALL BULLSHIT !!!!
To post no more FTO*S by years end.
1. new FTO class to start soon.
2. 400 plus recruits by end of year.
3. all instructors (MUST-BE) current FTO. next class of FTO*S made up current instructors .
4. next contract FTO*S get (D2A)
so if you are a current FTO at least waitout for a new contract before yeah resign.
tooo many inside people took the FTO test, and some of the questions were given to them, just another test scam.
4/05/2008 01:29:00 AM
The test was honest. Po's did not study, including academy staff. Several failed, a embarassment. Instructors will not be FTO's, not in budget. Instructors will all be retired PO's soon. Sworn on street. Retired PO's and Feds.
i'm going to take a page from brothers I used to work with in 003. the 1st and the 16th. what's wrong with them I would think. now I say what's wrong with me. they had it right. please people stop being proactive especially if it generates revenue. we have no contract and you have seen the crap we have been offered. once again I say cps employees received 20% raises. in a city of equality we deserve at least that much.

you may post this/you may not:
if your worried about time due, furloughs, etc then your a lost cause. You have tro be WILLING to accept their petty rejections.

I don't know if i agree about not marching. I do believe that most of the officers honored at St. Jude would shocked at todays department.
If J-FED is making street stops and he's not a certified by the state, isn't he violating someones civil rights? If he is violating their rights doesn't that make him vulnerable to civil litigation?
His salary is advertised in the newspapers and it's common knowledge that he is retired FBI, so he's probably making close to 500K a year. He advertises that he has no kids, so he doesn't have to concern himself with tuition and other costs of raising children. He and his wife are DINKs (Dual Income No Kids). They are probably sitting on a mountain of expendable funds. If I were Jody Iwould be careful about playing police officer. Once the ghetto lawyers put all the clues together he might as well walk around the city with a sign on his back that says "Sue Me"
"when they're not responding to violent crime"-newsflash never been the police J-(get driven around)fed,unless your in 021 what the fuck are we doing 80% of the time now?DOPW,gambling,GFY,why don't you ride one of those bikes back to philly and take your cats with you,400 po's by the end of the year?ya and I got a working poolcar with a cage and a working pdt you can drive,dream on Weislenator.
I have question why does the 1st Deputy need a Detective assigned to his office? T.W. sits outside his office and does nothing. I sure am glad they're taking all the Detectives and returning them to the Areas unless you are connected. This job is such a joke now. Hey 1st Dep. have T.W. count the homicides for you this summer. I predict well over the number from the last few years.
Word is out that the Department is going to get rickshaws. If a PO does not meet the fitness standards he/she will be pulling an other PO or boss around. Lt.s and above will get three wheel bikes to patrol with. I don't know. Thats what I heard.
I've seriously been wanting to get on bike patrol for years in my district. I bike in my off time and would love to do it at work. The problem is that in my district you need to "know somebody" to get on the team. It kills me seeing them and not being able to get on there.
It amazes me that there are so many people on this job that have great individual talents but are unable to use them b/c of the system. I love to bike ride and i can't even get on a bike patrol. Another guy i know has a masters degree in forensic science and can't get into the ET/crime lab unit. Another has a master's in finance and can't get into the financial crimes section.
There are people on this department that could really help out but aren't given the opportunity. We need some kind of system, for instance resume's or something so people like these can be identified and let them use their passions and talents to help out the department.
The worst is when i see people going to these units that just absolutely don't deserve it, don't have anything to offer and just go b/c someone was able to "get them in there."
You can's enforce what you don't see. Put the blinders on and just respond to calls, do the paper and wait for the next assignment. No arrests for me unless on signed complaint.
This County, City and Mayor suck, period!
They pander to the groups of people in this City that lead to all the major problems.
They want to give free free free free everything for their votes at our taxpaying costs.
From the Welfare Crowd, Illegal Aliens, Minorities, the B.S. Store Front Self Appointed Church Reverends, the Gays and most others who do nothing but bleed this County, City and its hard working people for everything they can get without getting off thier fat lazy asses!
You pump out kids without getting married or any means of financial support, no family structure and mooch off everyone else to get whatever you can get for free but they are the first ones to complain and bitch about how they are forced to live.
Here is an idea your alderman, your mayor, your county board president, your state governor and other politicians won't tell ya!
Quit pumping out kids, quit sitting on your ass, quit complaining and DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE!
How many of these LINK CARD CARRYING MOMMAS are walking around with 4 inch finger nails all painted up at a few hundred bucks a crack, hair extensions and hair dews that cost hundreds, designer names on everything they wear and $200.00 gym shoes? You pull over the thug in the car, which usually is some $40,000.00+ vehicle with no job, pocket full of cash and the fresh smell of blunts in the interior!
After 20 years of this shit, NOTHING HAS CHANGED but ONLY GOT WORSE! Handing ouot more more more of everything to people who are perfectly able to get up each morning and work. The government has subsidized a large group of people to sleep all day, stay up and party all night and then end up in violence unseen by any working community.
This doesn't take a BILLION DOOLAR CONSULTING CONTRACT to figure out. When you pay people to do nothing the old saying is so true, Idle Hands Are A Devil's Workshop.
And when we get to a point which will be soon, that these loafers are more than 50% of any given area, all that will be elected will be the people who will promise not to take away their FREE LOTTO MONEY without ever having to do anything in society other than to destroy it.
The less we get to police the more bodies that turn up!
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three bodies were discovered Saturday along a river where city cleanup crews were working.
The Kansas City Police Department was called to an area near the Blue River and Brush Creek after water department workers uncovered a body while using a tractor to lift trash and debris as part of an annual cleanup program.
Detectives canvassing the area found a second body under some nearby ground cover, then a third body was found a short time later at the same location. The Jackson County Medical Examiners Office was called to the scene and are investigating it as a homicide scene.

The fbi is the lead investigative agency of civil right violations. The Color of Law abuse is when a law enforcement officer abuses the authority given to him by the state and deprives one of his rights afforded under the consitution.
No joking. Its time to do some web searching and reeducate yourselves on the difference between criminal and civil rights.
Stop listening to these idiot supervisors when they tell you what "they want". Use your heads. If you know its wrong, don't do it. Its better to refuse a supervisors order and take the cr number and explain the facts in your to/from, in that a supervisor wanted you to take a specific action, and the reason you refused is because you were not going to violate someones civil rights.
Because even if you did what your idiot supervisor told you, and you document an action you took in your case reports as "per sgt. so and so's orders", it doesn't matter, in facts it makes it worse. You still knowingly violated someones civil rights, when you knew it was wrong, all because a supervisor told you to do it? All that will happen now is that you and the sgt will both go down for violating someone's civil rights.
Please folks, start thinking smart and look out for yourself and not for your boss. He or she will be retired and living in AZ on our dime by the time a civil trial goes down, and you will be all alone, because you inventoried someone's property 3 years ago just to fuck with them.
Also get rid of the cop ego. If you're looking for someone, and they won't open the door, or they say he ain't home-then he ain't home. Leave. The bad guy didn't win that one, you did.
Bonus: smart thinking police work like this will only lesson your work load. Get it?
How about instead of a 'slowdown' everyone go out and make the first petty bullshit dope pinch you find. Then everyone is doing THE MAN's bidding (it' what he wanted right...?) and then when pookie blows away mookie over his hat...sorry, not available, down on this small stuff arrest.
OFF TOPIC-Has anybody seent J(never been the police)FED in that blacked out chevy with michigan plates?if so how many people are riding with him,and is the driver a po or a white shirt?just axin
j(not a certified peace officer)FED said he believes in foot patrols?WTF,the feds do foot patrols?NOT,his foot patrol consisted of leaving his nice office in philly and walking to get a sandwhich,fuck u and the foot patrols,hey J-(forehead)FED tell IKE to hire some fucking po's and don't just say it,do it.
The city and PD has been waisting money for years, ie caps, neighborhood relations and all these other social programs that now they cannot afford cars for patrol.
When the shitheads are driving big SUVs and luxury cars with big engines and all of the comforts while running from the police the officer answering the call will be jogging to the scene.
"Beat 1322 you have a shooting at Chicago Ave. and Ashland. 1322 I'm coming from North and Damen but I'm walking fast, what was the description of the getaway car in case it passes me at 70 mph while I'm strolling along".
I can picture all of those retired exempt sitting at home thinking that they did such a wonderful job with their socialist programs that ate up the funds that could have been used for real work. I curse the day these socialist yuppies came on this job and I curse their careers.
I'm too old to walk the beat so I will be sitting on the pier fishing.
With Camden gone, and he did do a nice job, Monique Bond will be entertaining. She looks like a deer in the headlights of a truck traveling at 100 mph.
Yes, we all got more confidence now.
One more note, will the exempts be taking the buses and els to work to same gas and wear and tear on the black shiny cars. Will they be walking the beat on Fri, Sat and Sun. nites.
God Bless Officer McCullough and his family--They have suffered a terrible loss. Calvin, know that we, the CPD, are all your brothers and sisters and that we are here for you-I'm truly sorry---former 8th district ranger
from old lady sgt....foots r not even possible in 19/23rd districts...there is no mass transit officers ever in the el stations except 1 minute here & there as they drive about obtaining cta cks to prove they r in els...ha and only as it coincides with where they plan to eat and shop nearby or whatever else they plan to kill time! we routinely race to el stations in patrol cars to respond to crime and once on platforms and el cars never have run into Cta security or Mass Transit police...must not travel north of loop too far from south side offices...never had an assist from them on any arrest past 5 years.....and how about those traffic cars assigned Lake Shore Drive....has there ever being any to respond? Are they really out of loop and south side ever...ha ha invisible and not available to Drive along 23rd district...not once....not once per COS "no traffic lakeshore units available" do only 3 or 4 guys work there....who is fucking responsible for these dog units!!!
OK guys, settle down a bit. I think some of you are just looking for excuses as to why you don't do anything. I grew up in a family where my dad, as a detective, would have all those hours he amassed going to court, erased annually. In short the city just stole their time back from them. Thousands and thousands of hours, earned at straight time, not time and a half, gone, erased, stolen. But, my father warned when FOP came around, be careful because you can only serve one master and that should be the community. Wow, where are men like that anymore. Now we whine like bitches cause we had time due denied or we can't work the sector car. You know, you're either the police or your not. A pass granted to any copper whose been through a bad shoot or something like that but the rest of ya, please, quit already and go sweat your ass off in some factory. And J-fed, if you're reading this a previous post brought up a very important fact. The ASA and corp counsel throw out thousands of cases a year which could just as easily be adjudicated with a $20 or $50 dollar fine. There's more revenue for Daley's son to make a profit from. Run it by him, OK???
long hot summer coming up,more shootings,less po's on street,less supervisors,ex feds as headhunters,new iad/shooting procedures, perhaps a more measured stance indicated;prompt response to radio calls, prompt backup of fellow po's,check safety of squadcars before driving; allow new feds to figure out how to stop shootings...
....im done, no more anything except backing up my friends in blue and going home enjoying my family.. imagine, im saying this with only 3 1/2 years on. i was really looking forward to being the police...oh well, only 26 1/2 years left till i retire. be safe

Over the past 20 months the Chicago Police Department has promoted over 75 individuals to Exempt Rank Status, or higher. In this same period only 50 Officers have been promoted to the Rank of Sgt. What does this say about who the Brass feels is deserving of promotions. New Supt Weis has hired a minimum of five civilian positions in the Dept all making over 100 K annually in his first two months in office. However patronage is done? Hmmm

Got some info from a PBPA guy. Could this be the residency case we have been waiting for?
Sgt. in a northside district gets stripped in the fall for living outside the city. Case went to the police board last month. Sgt found not guilty on all counts and reinstated with full benefits. Sgt owned a condo in the city and a house in the burbs where his family lived and kids went to school. IAD investigation revealed that the majority of the time, something like 80% of the time he was watched, Sgt was in the burbs before and after work. Sgt was not divorced or separated. Police Board allegedly rules that ownership of property in the city is enough. Anyone have some more info on this? Is this the loophole we need?
On a side note, a captain testified on the sgt's behalf, the same captain/subject matter expert who is rumored to have run a "secret study" group which produced three sgts in the top 40 of the last Lt's class. This particular sgt in question was in the top 10 and will be made Lt when the next class is made, which makes it a grand total of 4 sgts in the top 40 who in some way have some relationship to this captain.
Coincidence? Did clout affect the ruling? Could a regular P.O. get away with this? Can anyone advise? A precedent has been set, does the police board have to decide every case the same way? This could be the out we are looking for.

The only thing that will save you is a Divorce, not a separation.
To the post about all the LAPA hacks, AMEN. You hit the nail on the head.
Just one more note on civil rights violations. Federal criminal civil rights laws have a five year statute of limitations from the date of incident, except in cases involving an intentional killing (generally not bound) and religious intererence (seven years).
"Over a 3 year period, 73 percent of the civil right cases initiated by the FBI were allegations of color of law violations. Most cases involve incidents of intense public interest."
Top five areas of civil rights investigation under color of law: excessive force, sexual assaults, false arrest or fabrication of evidence, deprivation of property, failure to keep from harm.
Please do your homework on this topic, so that you will know how to protect and stand up to your supervisors who want "heads" and "guns", officers. No doubt this will mean less arrests, but thats how it goes, Mr. Superintendent. We are not here to interfere with the liberties and rights of the people as defined in the Constitution.
There are six FTOS in the academy. Why not put them on the street?
Great ideas!!! All you have to do is go back about 13-20 years and see how it worked.
We had 8-15 foot posts per district!
guys posted at parks w/problems.
School Posts
Hospital posts
All beats,rapids manned fully with district wide cars and incident cars
Tact and gang working IN THE DISTRICT THEY were assigned.
THIS WORKED!
BACK TO THE BASICS OF POLICEING.
OH, I FORGOT YOU ACTUALLY NEED 13,500 COPPERS NOT UNDER 10,000 TO MAN ALL THESE POSTS!!!
Foot men knew EVERYTHING about their posts. Beat officers knew all their bad guys! That was what worked!!!~
Tact guys could almost name every shithead in the district and their gang affiliation!

Your a loser piece of SHIT. Why don't you do all of us a favor and quit this job. It's lazy fucks like you that give all of the decent cops a bad name.

You make me sick...
4/05/2008 07:01:00 PM
He's right. You are a piece of shit, and probably one of those losers who didn't do squat to begin with.
The St. Jude march is in honor of our fallen brothers. This is a way to remember them and the ultimate sacrifice they made. This is not in honor of J-Fed or Mayor Mumbles, who never shows up (shows you haw much the little fucking jagoff respects us). This is for us to unite. The more police officers that show up for St. Jude, shows the unity and brothership we have. Whether you are a white, black, hispanic or any other decent of police officer, WE ALL ARE BLUE. ?This is the one time to show our unity and honor are fallen brothers in blue and their families who live with the tragedy the rest of their lives. We all have prejudices and sometime make assinine comments on the blog about other races, but leave your prejudices at home. If somebody calls for an assist or a 10-1, I don't give a shit who you are or waht color you are. You are blue and so am I. If we can't be unified during the time we are working or even off duty, they have truly put a wedge in us. St. Jude is not a place to protest by not showing up. You want to screw the city, protest by taking away all the cities revenue. Parkers, movers, anovs and towing vehicle. In fact the greatest show of unity is everyone who can and show up for St. Jude. As far as giving any the Superintendent or any other exempt, just keep on walkig past the reviewindg stand and no recognition to the boss. I go for the cops that I knew who died and the ones I don't know, but respect. Show up for our fallen brothers. This is not a place to protest, but come together. If we want to protest, let's march in front of city hall. It's Weis and Daley we want to protest, not our fallen brothers, sisters and their families.
Start with the judges and ASA's to do their job and stop dismissing every damn case or chewing a felony down to a misd. The court system has to work with the police.

Are they really out of loop and south side ever...ha ha invisible and not available to Drive along 23rd district...not once....not once per COS "no traffic lakeshore units available" do only 3 or 4 guys work there....who is fucking responsible for these dog units!!!
4/05/2008 06:04:00 PM
You mean the guys that force people to slow down and rear end each other when they're doing radar? The traffic guys pulling over working people and giving them tickets? The traffic guys giving PO's a hard time when they're a tad late for work and taking Lake Shore Dr to get to work?
Yeah, gotta love those POs
First of all, I understand the importance of St. Jude and the sacrifices these officers made. However, I do not need to march in a parade set-up by politicians and Exempt ranks to show my support and respect for these fallen officers. I remember last year how the organization of the march was f*uck*d up. Because we have a bunch of morons that operate this department, I believe the march has actually shown a lack of respect. I believe we, or FOP, should have our own remembrance. Someone should contact a sports arena – Sox Park, United Center, etc., to hold our St. Jude. We do not even take a moment of silence for these officers; there is no prayer, -- nothing significance for these officers. All we do is stand around and then march pass a bunch of useful, pieces of garbage Exempts and politicians. And, I have marched in all 11 parades.
I think foot post and bike patrols are dumb as hell. All they do is deplete the man-power. Think of this way J-Fed (since you and Mayor Dick Daley have never been the police). All the people with seniority are on days, they tend to take a lot of their vacations in the summer. So, what does that mean? They pull people from midnights and afternoons to cover those spots. And then people bid for the bike teams. What does that mean? 8-10 people gone from 1st and 3rd watch. And you know what that MEANS?! 99 units on midnights, a beat car as the wagon. Less police presence, more crime. Bike units and foot patrols do absolutely nothing to discourage crime. It forces more crime at other times.

For those of you who don't know they were both shot in the head and killed in the line of duty.

I know the Officers you speak of and know they were good people. They do deserved to be honored. St Judes, unfortunately, is not the proper forum anymore. St Judes is a show for the bosses. A real honor would be for POs to show their respects without the brass.

As far as residency, I was told that you are not in violation if you sleep overnight at your Chicago residence at least 3 nights of your work week. I was told this by IAD 12 years ago, so I am not sure if this is their current gauge.
Off the topic: My partner and I were at an incident last night when a supervisor responded to the scene. It was just ridiculous how this was handled by another LAPA(Latin American Police Association) merit hack. As we sat there and watched this circus we started naming all the LAPA people who have been promoted and are or were in way over their heads. I will name a few then if anyone else has a few please chime in.
1.) Ed Lenti
2.) Jose (Joe) Velez
3.) Lucio Martinez
4. ) Rick Guerrero
5.) Gusty Gonzalez Brennan
6.) Ozzie Valdez
7.) Lupe Pena
8.) Tony Ceja
9.) Ceasar Guzman
10.) Art Parra
Whats even worse it only took us about 30 seconds to come up with the names listed above.

Foot Partols, You IDIOT. There's a back log for my entire tour everyday. I get no lunch. We're overworked, underpaid, put at risk because there is no backup so when the fuck is anybody going to have time to "walk the beat".
Jodi, your stirring shit up and fucking up so bad, it's not even into the middle of spring and the homicide rate is up 18%. wait until summer. You'll be spinning your head. hire more police, lots more and take the cuffs off our hands and let us do our jobs. stop shoveling shit down the publics throats and stop listening to all the whispers from our dumbass mayor.
they do everything in there power to throw out or dismiss felony cases. hah, go to misdemeanor court. 99% of the cases are dismissed without state even asking the officer questions about the case or if he or she wants to proceed. quality of life concerns. Jody, you've lost it.
Jody, I want to see you on a float at the Bud Bilikin Parade this year.

I thought the new Supt.Weis was going to be something special. But lately everytime he opens his mouth it shows how much this city is getting screwed out of $310K/yr. If J-fed took the time to learn a little history about this department he would know that CAPS was based on "Broken Windows", anybody remember "together we can".That boring ass book we had to read for the sgt's exam sometime ago.
And for the oldtimers, remember the skip teams in each of the districts years ago, that worked 1700/0100 hrs, who would make the DOPW arrests, and all the so called small stuff arrests.
This J-fed has promoted all these clout heavy idiots who would not know what police work is if it kick them in the ass.
You would think that one of those exempt idiots would enlighten J-fed that this department has been sweating the small stuff and making all kinds of bullshit arrests, long before he even thought of being a the supt.
All you tact/gang guys should know. Remember just last year passing over the corner drug dealers..to arrest those had core criminals selling lose cigarettes on the corners.
Supt. Weis, the officers on this department have been doing a hell of a job for years before you got here. You don't become the police by just putting on the uniform...you got to earn it and I don't care where you came from.
To give the public the impression that we overlook any crime ...no matter how small, is an insult to every hard working member of this department, and you owe us an apology.
Put me on the bike! Put me on foot! I work in 008. I would gladly have my old SOS guys now on the wagon(smart men) drop me off on the west side of 008 and patrol the good side of Archer.
Put me in the East end of 008 and you know what you will get? Bupkis!(sp?)
Its time we take care of our own.
No one, and I mean no one, comes into our house(Jody) and pushes us around
What the F is an 8th distirct ranger?
If ur old school than maybe ur an 8 ball.
We have never been Rangers(notice I said we)
007 are the Rangers and that is it. Most of them earned that title.
A lot of us in 008 spent some time in 007. We would never call ourselves 008 Rangers. Bid there or grow up.
St. Jude's march is to pay respect for the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. If you feel that strong about sending a message to the Department, don't march with your district or unit. March with your union.

That was 30 years ago, this is now. the bosses don't get any kudos for a good turnout, nor do they get slammed for a bad one. You are barking up the wrong tree here. Nowadays, it TRULY IS to honor the fallen.
Actually, if you are against the bosses, remember they have to fall out and stand until the whole parade is over. The longer the parade, the longer they have to stand at attention in front of the church (or wherever they fall out/in at) so really, MAKE IT LONGER ...

You are a moron. You are marching past the wives and children of fallen officers. Who cares about the bosses? Your BS is lame. I don't know about last year because I was out of town, but there is a memorial mass said at the conclusion of the parade, so there IS a prayer sent up. The whole parade - other than some music - and cadence (not in front of the reviewing stand) is silent... so there is a long moment of silent. Or are you really full of BS here?
Can anyone tell me if 25 commanders worked 2000-0400 the last couple nights? Please send me their activity!
Hey old lady sergeant--
Too bad you can't get back-up from any outside unit.
Maybe if you got your own personnel out of Starbucks they can lend a hand every now and then.
Things are just sooooo tough in A/3. Have a latte and relax.
If there were six homicides in A/3 there would also be six less Obama voters.
It's not about the Brass.

They are always in my prayers. this is not about the parade this is the only event a year where all the exempts are at and that we can make our position own thats it and no disrespect to all have served.

All you coppers that took the call boxes years ago are to return same so we can make a pull every hour on foot patrol.

If you want to band together, have a few cars go out and make an arrest/tvb/ANOV all at the same time so all the cars on the watch are tied up. See what happens then.
to the idiot that wants to boycott St. Judes. First off its BS.
Second off you would still go.
Why dont you stop writing your parkers, movers ect...
You wont do that because you would be worried that you would lose your car

If you are going to advocate not showing up to St. Jude's, at least post your name. That way I'll know not to donate to your benefit should you get jammed, sick, or a family member gets sick. Also, I'll know which funeral not to attend, which would be my first in over a dozen years. If you want to be so disrespectful to our fallen, the living deserve to know who you are at the very least.

"Can someone please tell J-Feb when you wear the sweater, you don't wear the tie....Uniform violation.
Plus he looked like a geek..."
Wrong. You can wear the tie if you have Class B pants. And the round crown hat.
Secondly, as to residency, remember that they just made a deputy chief who moved his wife and kids out to the northern suburbs years and years ago and has maintained a condo in the city. The Corp Counsel has had a rule of thumb that said that the IAD has to show staying in the suburbs 5 consecutive days is a violation. Other wise you can probably beat it.
Third, unfortunately, St. Jude march IS perceived as doing something for the company. It would be nice to have an alternative, like a vigil, to just show respect for the dead. Maybe the unions - FOP, PBPA, AFSCME - can put something together. Just an idea.
Fourth, take care of yourself and your partner first. For you bosses, please take care of the troops, but for real, not like the nitwits at the top tell you and then screw over the district commanders by taking them away from their families. Lotta good that'll do to get them with the program. Weis, you're an idiot, either for ordering it, or as is more likely, for going along with the mayor's scheme.
Fifth, good bosses won't ask for numbers, they'll tell you to take care of yourselves, pay attention to the true crime victims and don't be a screw up.
OK, I ran out of stuff to pontificate (yes, I went to college) about (but didn't study English, thus the preposition at the end of the sentence).
Stay safe.
Malicious Compliance is the name of the game, not a workslow down but a true follow every order and guideline to the letter. They will be out of police in about 1 hour on the 3rd watch. Call for a full plan 2 or higher for EVERY missing tender age child. Call for a supervisor on every part 1 offense. Order ETS and stick around to point out the evidence. Do a full canvass of all possible witnesses on all crimes you record. List all their names. Go into the station to make all notifications via the pax. Dont use your personal cell phones.Make sure you make all phone calls and notifications required on all incidents, from the station at the desk. Call for Detectives on major incidents so they get tied up. In short dont use any of the short cuts we have used over the years to get back on the air and handle more calls. Take every DUI you find into the station dont give them any breaks tie yourself up with the processing of the DUI. Maybe you can even do a blood draw at the hospital and get tied up with the blooddraw and transport all as required by order. Dont forget inventorying all prisoners and found property. oOnt let the small time offender throw out the nickle bag anymore. Lock him up, inventory the dope and do the job according to the orders. Its called malicious compliance. Oh yeah and by the way you will be so busy doing all the things required by the orders you wont have time to see or write any tickets, DARN. Perhaps you will only be able to handle 3 or 4 cals on the 3rd watch imagine that its called malicious compliance.

This is all we have. When you or someone else comes up with something better I will support you. Until then St Jude IS about the fallen officers.
I do agree the Bosses like to have a good showing but I never heard of a Commander getting demoted because You didn't go to St Judes
No disrespect or hard feelings. But I don't get involved in the politics of the Department. I just do my job, give them 8 for 8, go home and spend as much time with my family. Something the Fallen can't do.

Just an idea..... we need to honor those officers that have given the ultimate sacrific, at St.Jude. How about a unified showing of no confidence to the reviewing stand, by not saluting as we march pass and turn our heads opposite of the reviewing stand as well. Why should we salute inept exempts and civilians. Just a thought.....
There is only one dude on the front end of each marching unit that salutes. Its usually the other commander kiss ass that didn't get to carry the unit flag.

...Malicious Compliance is the name of the game, not a workslow down but a true follow every order and guideline to the letter...
That would require you to know every order and guideline. Most today won't even read up on things that will benefit them. It will never happen.

Well I thought I could give professional courtesy to my fellow brothers in Blue but I guess you guys are crying about getting courtesy especially when you say “I’m late for roll call”. Well guess what the next time I hear that excuse YOU WILL get a note from me in the form of a speeding ticket in order to show your W/C why your late and you don’t have to drive so fast now because you’ll have a NOTE from the DOGASS LSD COP.
Have A Nice Day,

P.S. In case you patrol lackeys didnt know the speed lilmit is 40 mph until further notice.
"Madigan filed suit against Victory Consulting and Investments Inc. and the company’s general manager, Walter C. Armstrong, based on allegations that the defendants falsely promised to help consumers save their homes after falling behind on their mortgage payments. The defendants charged consumers a $600 retainer and $400 for legal services and promised to provide mortgage foreclosure rescue services, which either were never performed or proved to be ineffective.
The lawsuit alleges Victory Consulting sought out consumers who were behind in their mortgage payments through flyers, word-of-mouth and in person, gaining consumers’ trust by indicating the company is a faith-based organization and introducing themselves to consumers as “Reverend,” “Bishop” or “Pastor.”
Sounds familiar
