Aggressive? HAHAHAHA
Wednesday was what? The third in a series of meetings to discuss Department issues with J-Fed? And already, we don't care. It's a dog and pony show, we can smell the BS from our 3rd floor apartment, and nothing is going to get addressed until Daley addresses it or Daley goes to jail.
Then we get this from the Tribune:
Then we get this from the Tribune:
- Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis told officers gathered for a meeting this week that arrests in the city were down and implored them to be more aggressive on the street.
Department officials confirmed the account.
Wow. Call us names, paint us with the same brush, throw officers under the bus, give us horseshit equipment, tease us with crap about upgraded arsenals, new cars, working computers, working radios, cave to the "reverends," dump workers, promote morons and the connected, the list can go on and on and on.
But be more aggressive?
Why? Why bother? We aren't seeing any leadership. And only a fool follows someone who walks into walls. We aren't fools, and neither are 99% of this Department.

They got what they wanted. A whole Department of Closed Market Coppers. Let them deal with it now.
Mass transit bosses cleaned up with Shakman cash settlements as posted by the Chicago Tribune.
Berglind, Lockard Aztlan........congratulations.....you all deserve it!
I'm only aggressive when some one points a gun at me or my partner. The city of Shitcago can plant a wet one where the sun don't shine.
Now besame puto.
Sorry assholes (Daley etc)
You brought in this Fed to beat down the working police.
I and over half my watch are refusing to do pro-active police work anymore. Can you discipline us for that?
NOOOO!!
We are guaranteed to have a job for 29years and a day + 75% Pension.
You BASTARDS should have thought about this a while back.
wait till u see what happens on the west-side this summer... I can't wait
All right baby! Let's kick in those doors like the old days! Let's rumble on the streets with the gangbangers! Lets shake down every dog on every corner!
Sorry, getting carried away a little. Lets just hit that hole and get some ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.
What the hell was I thinking?
Typical FED, all talk! Screw J-Fed, screw my squad with 160,000 miles, screw my radio that has a battery that goes dead in 6 hrs, screw the public who gets a CR number if you don't climb a tree to get a cat down!
SCREW J-FED!
The most work I do is getting my check on the 1st and 16th! I got to get electronic deposit!
Sounds like Det. Kathy sure-kick is back in business! Watch those doors come crashing down now!
Just don't be AGGRESSIVE with a female bartender, a wheelchair bound doped up mental case, any asshole retail theft offenders in a store security office, any preachers on a traffic stop or ANY patrons in a tavern. Other than that, go get them!
Otherwise I will be writting about you!
keep doing what u do....NO MORE REVENUE FOR THE CITY...I.E. parking tickets, movers (unless you goto court)....VEHICLE IMPOUND (UNLESS YOU GOTO COURT)....write them the report and go home......this city will start to feel the pinch when their revenue drops!
Screw you J-Fed and little Dick!! Arrests are down and will stay down! In my 11 years on this job I have NEVER seen the morale this low and it's SAD!! I thought it hit rock bottom a year ago, but it has become worse and keeps getting lower. I hear from more and more coppers everyday that it just isn't worth going the extra mile anymore for this city and the bosses. I'm even hearing the comments from younger guys that I thought would always be aggressive.
The constant lies, doubletalk, backstabbing, lack of trust, etc. and once again no fucking contract=SHIT MORALE!! There is nothing positve coming our way, it just keeps getting worse and we all expect to get fucked by the city and our FOP again when we do get a contract!
Dude, BLOW ME!
you cant have it both ways, Daley!
Ok, so they want Aggro Cops again already huh?
Follow the below list of steps and arrests will be up and crime will be down:
#1.) Get rid of those stupid in-car cameras.
#2.) Muzzle the "Reverands".
Did anyone see that PAX 501 from yesterday regarding the new sergeants class--I just threw up in my mouth a little.
5/21/2008 08:43:00 AM
No.
What is this all about?
What did it say?
we should have a contract and maybe hire around 500-1000 more cops for starters mr-jody. instead king daley has you picking at this skeleton of a dept so he doesnt have to hire more people because he is greedy. thanks.
I mentioned this before, I think J-Fed ( as you call him) made the mistake of his tenure with the Cozzi case.
Now he is boxed in
old retired guy
With gas going up to over $5 a gallon soon How come there are so many take home cars?Why not for POs too
Let the bosses lead by example and go out and show us hows its done.Let them make the arrests.STOP WORKING.Let the Clout happy take up the slack.Change will come if we just answer our calls.No aggressive policing.Protect yourself and your family.We the cops control this dept if we stand together.No more going to bosses promotion partys or sucking up.Your a sell out if you do.There is strength in our ranks.The prisoners run the prison so why cant the cops run the cpd.Remember they cant make you do anything unless they are on the scene then put the bosses down as a witness.No more tickets,Hell most are illegals anyway.If the mayor doesnt want people to have DLs then dont stop anybody.Dont jam up the good american citizen.Let the gangs and the shooting rise and change will come.The mayor and the bosses dont care about you so why should you care about them.Ive been around this place for over 13yrs,not along time but I have seen the clout heavy move up and the "specialized" units only put in 5 hrs days if that.Arrests mean nothing it will only get you jammed or many days in court.Now is not the time to be the police.Just collect your check.TYhis is the worst I have seen it and hasnt run its course
It would be kind of hard for me to look the other way if I witnessed an on-view felony IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ONLY. Otherwise, I would really have to think twice about going through all the b.s. in processing a goof. Example; the watch commander, detectives, and finally, felony review. Sometimes it's just not worth the aggravation.
Im glad to see that MOST of us are finally sticking together on something.STRENGTH IN NUMBERS! The SUCK HOLES and some management guys have to do more than us and thats fine. But the rest of us need to slow down just a little bit more cause it gonna be a fricked up summer and we all wanna go home safe and still employed. LETS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!
I/F!
SCC,
If we want to advance the department we have to go out and aggressively enforce the law and allow the Supe to handle the political footballs (the city council. the community folks, and the Mayor). If this Supe fails it will be a huge loss for us. Do we want to return to the old insider Mount Greenwood/Northwest side cigar smoking illiterate Supes of the past?
I hate to go off topic but I am on furlough and unable to keep up with your blog. Holy Smokes I looked at the merit appointees list and my gosh the majority were M2 and M4 officers. There were not a flood of of M1 officers! My GOD from reading this blog I thought only M1 and M4 officers were merit appointees.
As far as the issuance of M4 carbines, yes the officers should pass the power test. It would be ridiculuous for some of the 375 pound bad examples we have on the job to tote an M4. The numbers should be severely limited. Personally I don't think there is a need for more than three M-4 carbines per watch in every district and they should be transported discreetly and pulled out only when necessary. They should not be seen on traffic stops.
Me personally I like the new Supe. He has had his hiccups and errors but that is part of entering a new culture. Unfortunately our department has suffered from incredibly poor leadership and we have suffered from being under a political administration that is unethical and at times inept. I say we give the Supe a chance because frankly there isn't anyone in the exempt ranks that are fit to lead the department at this juncture. The only person who could do a better job would be Lt. General Russell Honore, the soldier who bought law and order to New Orleans following Katrina. He would have the personality to cut through the BS, establish priorities, and forcefully advocate on behalf of the department in front of the communities we serve, the city council, and the mayor.
This Englewood Ranger (Former Marine) knows no danger! I am going to courageously follow our new Supe!n Hooyah!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Jody,
Please define what YOU mean by Aggressive Police work.
I hope it does not mean violating anyone's civil rights.
I would hate for you and Cozzie to be cellies.
Aggressive! Shove it up your #@$%. 006th District just dumped one of their Sgt's. from one of the most aggressive teams in the city and no words out on why yet. They dont want policemen they want a bunch of do nothing yes men who dont know anything and if they step on themselves hang them out to dry.
J-Fed you wunt more aggressive officers now,The police dept dumped officers from sos who did not do anything wrong,you put police officers in the BIS program who did nothing wrong,you wont back up officer who are right.You punish poilce officer for everthing,we have shit cars ,guns,pdts,leadership,the city settles bullshit lawsuits,the radios dont work,drug dealer get CRs for bullshit,the pay sucks,the insurance is up along with co-pay.you ask for a tickets,and you are still a PPO.and you wunt us to be more aggressive.Order more body bags,because we wont back you up now.HOW DOES IT FELL
CAR 47 said,I will work those streets alone,me and my bike unit.we will clean the streets up..Whos got my broom
This just in!!!
I heard Jody has promised that for the next list of dicks/sgts he will list all the merit picks separately along with their sponsors, all the rank and file along with what special invite-only secret-squirrel study groups they attended, and the single moms who don't know who the daddy is but everyone else knows that the daddy is a white shirt.
That'll really level the playing field, right guys?
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THE TWO COPPERS(3rd watch) IN 016 WHO MADE THE HOMICIDE ARREST, YET GOT YELLED AT FOR BEING OFF THE BEAT. AND WHILE THEY WERE GETTING YELLED AT, THEIR EXCELLENT SARGEANT ADMONISHED ONE FOR HAVING NO TIE ON. Please tell me the 016th district does'nt have bad bosses. They should be protecting the homefront, not worried about little things!!!!!!!!!!
For the first five months of 2007, I arrested 63 people on the beat car. Same period for this year - 9 people (signed complaints and a warrant or two for a really bad dude). I am proud of this decline. No. But this is the reality of what we face now in regards to leadership. I try to counsel the future of this department - guys with under three years on - to take it easy because they could find themselves thrown under the bus soon. Quite a few of them are still out there running and gunning. I'm all for it but just not at this time. Stay in your car people and let JFED's tenure ride out without becoming a scapegoat.
I dont care if they gave me new car new radio new machine gun. Im still not gonna risk even a 1 day suspension for anyone any more.
Arent all those cameras working.Jfed said on the radio how chicago leads the country with technology.
PAX 501
Since becoming Superintendent, it has been one of my top priorities to provide greater support to
our strongest asset, the men and women of the Chicago Police Department.
Vital to ensuring the success and support of the Department’s mission in fighting crime is
recognizing and developing strong leaders, and some of the most important leaders within this
organization are our sergeants.
Please join me in congratulating the newest class of 76 sergeants. They will bring strong leadership
skills and personnel support to the Department. Of these 76 individuals, 22 of them were
meritorious promotions. In an effort to increase transparency, those individuals who were
promoted meritoriously are clearly identified on the promotion list.
Increasing transparency and creating an environment for professional growth based on a fair
process of promotion is a goal that I and the command staff are fully committed to. Therefore, I have directed the command staff to create a process where all members of the Department can apply
for meritorious promotion. To be sure, this will require an even more rigorous application process,
but it is the right and fair thing to do. A meritorious promotion process should be a source of pride
and distinction for the members selected.
I would like to thank the incoming group of sergeants for distinguishing themselves as leaders within the Department. I know that they will be an excellent addition to our ranks at a time when we need their leadership. Let’s welcome them and their ability to serve our communities and lead the men
and women of this Department.
It is my goal to reinforce the notion of leadership at every rank, and within every member, of thisDepartment. I believe the above promotions, and planned changes are a step in that direction.
Be safe.
I heard jfed and his staff are pooling their money to bail jerry finneagan out of the mcc to get some guns off the street than when he is done they will send him back.
Iam so happy to see my brothers and sisters of this department are sticking together. F*^& you Daley. You have been beating us down for years, it was just a matter of time before your biggest fear came true; that they police officers in this City are beginning to unite as one. Good job boys and girls!!! I love that the arrest numbers are down. This is the department they've been screaming for. You wanted it.....YOU GOT IT!!!!!
Finally, someone who understands firepower and priorities.
http://www.midwestbusiness.com/news/viewnews.asp?newsletterID=19197
The next contract is going to be just as bad as the last one! Less than a cost of living raise that will only cover the increase in your insurance.
We are looked at as the warehouse/factory workers of the city.
I am sure half of the dept will be happy,and back working when they get their retro check.
As a new copper out on the streets. I say fuck u to all the bosses who
don't stand by the working police.
Don't do a friggin thing other than writing a report, it's the only way to get the Mayor's attention! Also Sun Times is reporting that J-Fed has ordered that CPD will NO LONGER investigate bank robberies, you know its a federal crime. FUCK this mongoloid looking freak, Lets run him out of town. DO NOTHING PROACTIVE. This jerk is a cancer on the department.
Aggressive Policing methods ???
This should be taught as a class at the academy to all recruits...
OH , wait, who's going to be the instructor?
I'm not talking about control tactics or such.
In classroom aggression instruction.
Make the city and state liable for the failures if not. ie. suits etc.
Arrests are down because crime is down.
Update....
I just received a pink slip and have to take a piss test after making the crime is down comment. I must be smoking something.
Meanwhile, take note that the NYPD is moving to fire the acquitted officers in the Sean Bell case in Queens.
Likewise, Ramsey wants to fire the officers in the incident in North Philadelphia in the wake of the murder of Sgt. Steve Liczbinski.
Fuck Daley, his hatchetman and the clout hacks!
The new face of this dept. is not what we need! The dept. is now more educated and will not put up with the bullshit! The Cozzi case really showed how you could fuck over an officer! In todays times there is an article about how j-fed is allowing the feds to take over bank robberies completely and not our dics! Maybe he will use more fed friends to take more cpd jobs. thanks boss!
I'm fleeing to Freedonia under the reign of Rufus T Firefly.
Hahahahahahaha....stop it you're killin' me, who knew Jody was going to be the next Shecky Green?
stop the in car cameras and get rid of them in the districts they're already in. get us better equipment, not cameras
Without support of PO's on the street, you lost the battle. They will look good and follow orders but aggressive, proactive policing is down. Young officers nervous and lack effective leadership. New commanders do not communicate with officers, inspectors that strictly enforce every rule no matter how trivial. Tac and gang teams consistently moved from district of assignment to work on problems in the same areas. If we had sufficient manpower, tac would stay in their districts where they know the gang members. Hiring has all but stopped. retirements increased. Read the signs, they are obivious.
Actually it cost the city when you make arrests. If you really want to screw with the city's revenue make many arrests, just don't write movers or parkers (unless it's involved in an arrest).
wanna improve morale huh?
QUICK TIP THAT WOULD IMPROVE MORALE BEA TAKE NOTES DAT DEGREE U GUYS PAID 4 ME IS WORTH SUMTHING.
1) PROMOTE A COUPLE OF PATROL OFFICERS TO COMMANDER. AT LEAST 15 YRS ON JOB HAVE A MATER OR HIGHER AND MAKE ARREST.
2) KEEP THOSE CAMERAS ONLY IN TRAFFIC CARS THE PUBLIC WOULDNT EVEN KNOW.
3) QUIT USING GANG TEAM & TACT TEAM AS PRIVATE SECURITY 4 ALL DA MAYORS EVENTS. HAVE THE ALDERMAN REQUIRE EVENTS TO HIRE PRIVATE SECURITY.
4) THE RETURN OF THE ONE GUN DUCK DAY. DA MAYOR HATES GUNS SO REWARD THE POPO WHO TAKES THEM OFF THE STREET.
5) MEET WITH THE CHIEF JUDGE AND START FINING ALL THOSE MEATHEADS THAT GET LOCKED UP 4 MISD. THE COUNTY AND CITY NEED THE MONEY. EVEN 10 DOLLARS WOULD HELP.
6) HIRE RETIREES TO WORK THE DESK IN ALL POLICE FACILITIES. I SEE THEM WORKING PRIVATE SECURITY FOR 15 $ AND HOUR. PLUS THEY ARE TRAINED ALREADY AND CAN WEAR THEIR GUN.
7) DROP THE TRU UNIT AND STICK THEM BACK IN DIST. THE ARREST THEY MAKE ARE LAUGHABLE. JODY IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME ASK YOUR FLUNKY PETERSON TO FIND OUT HOW MANY FELONY CASE WERE PROCESS BY DICK FROM TRU.
8) YOU HAVE TOOOO MANY DESK DOLLIES IN THE AREAS. 1 PHONE GUY SHOULD BE ENOUGH. HOW MANY DESK SGT DO YOU NEED.
9) CUT THE INSPECTORS. ALL YOUR SAYING BY KEEPING THIS OVERPAID POSITION IS THAT SGT AND FIELD LTS ARE LAZY AND CANT CONTROL THEIR TROOPS.
10) START PROMOTING PEOPLE YOU WOULD HIRE TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY.
IF I WAS SHAKMAN I COULD NAME 10 PEOPLE WHO WERE PROMOTED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE LOVING A WHITE SHIRT. THEY ARENT THE WORSE PEOPLE IT JUST LOOKS BAD.
SOOOO BEA FEEL FREE TO STEAL THE IDEAS. PETERSON YOU CAN HARP ABOUT YOU BEING THE REAL POLICE BUT HELL YOU STILL HAVENT PAID OF YOUR MORTGAGE WE 30 SUM YEAR ON DA JOB.
OH AND ALL THOSE BOSSES WHO THINK GOING TO THOSE TRAINING WITH THE FED AND THE TRAFFIC INSTITUTE MAKE YOU A LEADER JUST REMEMBER WHAT IDEA HAVE YOU CAME UP WITH!
This FINALLY is making the news. And what does our FOP Prez say? Morale is down because the police are upset that the Feds will continue to handle bank robberies and we will have a lesser role in the investigation. Uh, yea - right Mark - THAT'S the reason morale is down... WTF
Mr. J-fed, you f*ucked up. You took this job from the most corrupt regime in the country and you have that jag-off Daley pulling your strings; you think the rank and file don't know that.
The way cops are being treated and singled out by this city, you have a lot of nerve to ask them to be more aggressive. This city does not want aggressive police. You reap what you sow. You can't have it both ways....
You want change. You can start by telling your boss it's going to cost him. Tell him to quit fucking dragging his ass on our contract. Give us a decent raise where we might get a few disposable dollars after the bills are paid. Fund our pension the way it should be and tell him to have his nephew give back the millions he borrowed from it. None of the bullshit the real estate market fell apart and the money is gone. Tell your boss to quit trying to screw us on the medical insurance. If the retirees were paying too much, I'm sure we are too. It didn't cost us anything at one time.
You can start with those few things. Get us a decent contract we can live with and you might get some respect; then you can ask the troops to do something for you.
all the bigmouths have no affect on the criminals or their activity in their neighhoods. the pols,reverends and such arent taken seriously by these shitbirds. we have slowly had our ability to be the police taken away by these concerned public officials....the public now has what it wants..a greatly resticted police force... and remember boys and girls...once these policies are in place...theyre here to stay. another sham. how many po s are there really? 10,000 ? 13,500? are we counting the bigger guys twice? we have a bunch of guys retiring every month and only a few coming out of the academy. the numbers dont add up
THIS WORKING P.O. FROM EDISON PARK SAYS, MAYOR YOU WANT TO IMPROVE MORALE, GET RID OF JFED AND HIRE WILLIAM KUSHNER (BERWYN POLICE CHIEF) AS A OUR LEADER. YOU JFED ARE NO LEADER BUT A COWARD LIKE THE REST OF YOU FBI BUDDIES. LET THE POLICE BE RUN BY THE REAL POLICE. ALSO JFED I HEAR YOUR WIFE HATES THE CPD AND HAS ACTED LIKE A JERK TOWARD COPPERS. I GUESS ONCE A COP HATER ALWAYS A COP HATER.
Clout exempts lacking leadership has affected the morale. They threaten officers to work, have no idea about morale. Ignorant leadership results in no arrests and no morale. Threats and inspectors will not result in work. get a clue.
In my 1.5 years on the CPD I have NEVER....and I mean NEVER seen morale this low.
Theory: Police morale is inversely proportional to gas prices.
can't have your cake and have your ice cream too, KMA
"Don't worry about the CR's, we'll take care of them."
Ever hear that before?

Finally, finally the rest of the department is feeling what I have been saying for years, dont do a dam thing for this city! I will drive by hand waivers, blow off BS jobs, do paper when called for and back up fellow officers. Other than that I will not lift a finger for this city. I watch DVD's, listen to the radio, surf the internet (wireless internet), eat well, than go home to my family. I am a DOG and dam proud of it. I will even tell the blow hards at the bar telling war stories that they are morons and the DOGS life is where its at. The best thing is that I get a paycheck and the animals get zero service from me. Oh city of Chicago you wanted this, now you get it. I have to thank you because being a DOG is the best part of the job, I just wish I did it sooner.
Mr. Fed,
The state of this department is total shit. You want aggressive, yet at every turn we get fucked with.
Recently I responded to a P.O. asking for an assist. I am from an out side unit, second car on the scene, and when all is said and done a district sgt. asks me why I parked on a fire hydrant. With out responding I got in my car and left.
So, when chicken shit is the rule of the day, I now make sure the chickens are in order and don't worry about the other crap.
Except that is, for P.O.s calling for help and my radio jobs.
In the future fellow officers, make sure there is plenty of legal parking when requesting assistance.
The City would just love to see you go out and be more aggressive, then turn their backs when the complaints, lawsuits, marches and news reports with video. The city and our leaders will all distance themselves and leave the PO's hanging. I see quota's coming real soon. That's when civil rights violation take place. Which our leader would love.Hmmmmmmmm
I went to the meeting at headquarters and the one at the academy. I wanted to see what our new superintendent had to say. He is full of shit. Every question he does not have an answer, he has this cocky persona and attitude about him that makes me ill. He tells us he will back us up and be behind us but when it comes down to it, he is not working in a busy district where we are getting hammered with jobs, chasing shitbirds, and working our asses off. I am sick of him having these mettings, get our on the street and earn your fucking star. I hate seeing him in that uniform because he did not earn the right to wear a chicago uniform.
NO JUSTICE FOR POLICE =
NO PEACE FOR J-FED, ALDERCREATURES, AND KING RICHIE
WAR IN THE STREETS THIS SUMMER WILL HASTEN THE CALLS FOR J-FEDS OUSTER
I'm going to be just as 'aggressive' towards policing as the city has been towards resolving our contract fairly.
Which is to say: not at all
From the Trib article...
"the meetings...an effort by him to gauge the pulse of the officers and push his agenda..."
Gaugung the pulse of the formerly aggressive PO's? No pulse. They are all gone. Push his agenda? Wait, my coffee's kickin' in, oh yeah, I'm pushing his agenda right now...aaaaahhhhh! (Splash!)
The area 3 and 5 case management Dic’s both say that arrests in response to radio assignments are about the same, but on-view-P.O. initiated are way way down. Why would that be?
1. A superintendent we can’t trust!
While I was never a Cozzi fan, J-Fed is knee deep in this one. If you think activity is down now what will it be if he gets hammered in Federal Court? J-Fed needs to call in any makers he has if any so the Feds just drop it and state that it was handled locally. He can state he did the right thing to the public. The average PPO with one period on the street knows more about police work than J-Fed does.
And his pay scale is insulting to everyone w/o a contract. Since you are getting a pension from the Feds how about deferring your salary until we get our retro checks!
2. A mayor we can’t trust! Enough said. Patrick Fitzgerald could you hurry up a little bit PLEASE?
3. ASA’s that will play both sides of the street. Remember after all else they are lawyers.
4. A scum bag press corps. Did you ever see a front page story about a news anchor or columnist’s multiple DUI’s? Or the weather forecaster three bankruptcies because of a coke habit? Or the wife beater?
P.S. K.M.A. means that you have BOTH the age (50) and the time (29+1) to retire. Some of you rookies sound like J-Fed. At all of his open meetings use as many acronyms as possible (IVC) (DUI) etc. and confuse the hell out of him.
SCC:
Can someone scan and post the superintendent's new PAX 501 on meritorious sergeant promotions? I'm on furlough.
It will give me some inspiration when I get back to work to do absolutely NOTHING.
Thanks
No bosses got your back...aggressive BULLSHIT!
"Monique Bond...said the drop (in arrests) is not an accurate reflection of crime trends in the city. The reduction could be attributed to several factors, including success in putting away drug dealers in street corner conspiracies..."
Therefore, according to this twisted logic, CRIME IS NOT GOING DOWN!
As for the street corner conspiracy theory, Monique, here's how it works today: 2 PO's are parked down the street. On the corner they see several gangbangers dealing. What do they do? They turn around and drive away. Why? Because if the PO's make a move the thugs will call IPRA and get CR#'s claiming abuse, racist name-calling, money stolen, etc., and they will have friends lie as witnesses. The IPRA "investigator" will conspire with these poor victims to trump up more charges on the PO's and even if the PO's are vindicated no action will be taken against the "investigator" or the false witnesses. Now THAT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!!
I don't understand all of the fuss. I was very aggressive last night. I wrote 8 contact cards, but I din't search anybody or even get out of the car. I did keep my mars lights on the whole time (8hrs) so the good citizens of Chicago could see that we are still out there. I'm with you jody! (you Putz).
take the gloves off us asshole, bring back SOS! yah right u got what u wanted! guys, go home to your families, screw this city!!!
I am going to be a pretty little brunette sitting on the west-side collecting a pay check on the 1st 22nd and 16th ....
WOW They have balls to ask for more aggressive. FUCK their aggressiveness, they fuck us everytime we do
I agree with the earlier post. Coppers have been slowing down for sometime now, and there is plenty of reasons for that; bullshit law suits, bosses that don't back you up, no more perks, but the real nail in the coffin had to be the cossi case. I have no clue what that fed was thinking, but when he made that call to fuck that copper, it was like someone turning off a switch. Everybody stopped working. The only guys that still work on my watch are the court whores; thats all, and even they slowed down!!
Lets be aggressive! Yes Boss! I will when i am at lunch, and on my personals other than that sorry! Thanks for reintroducing clout into this once proud dept.
one word there buddy..............
CINCINNATI*
At 5 am, news in the back ground..I let out an Aggressive laugh turned over and went back to sleep. ahh furlough..now where did I put that remote ((zzzzz)) JFED..mm Get SMART ((one in the same??..zzzzzzz))LOST IN FILLMORE
But there still are goofs that are proactive in the ghetto? Hey you want to be police work somewhere where citizens care like 016 or 008.....
At the Morgan Park H.S. meeting Weis mentioned how the TRU unit will now be more aggressive. They will augment the Patrol Division and help out more on Domestics and Priority One calls.
He said they will be more in the law enforcement capacity rather than making revenue for the City. TRU will be a tactical law enforcement unit to get drugs and guns off the street.
Sounds to me like what S.O.S was doing all along? Funny how Unit 153 never truly dies...
drive slow, no lighs, no sirens, put your blinders on, no matter what these idiots are doing from standing on a corner to blocking traffic with their temp. plates, no license and no insurance. just drive by, don't say a word. unless they threaten you or a brother in blue, don't do shit. take reports that's it. eat well. dudes on midnights get a good night's sleep.
Agressive!?!?!? Im Not Going To Even Think About It Until They Take That Fucking Camera Out Of My Car!!! Until Then Its Nothing But Answering My Calls And Writing Some Parkers And An Occasional ANOV.
I attended the Morgan Park meeting and I have to say the questions at the beginning were excellent. By the time 9:30pm rolled around they were assinine. What's with the goof 006th dist lockup keeper who kept complaining about nepotism and white irish bosses? He was demanding that more black bosses be made and that CPD just gets rid of the O'Connells, O'Donnells, O'Somebodys and any irish name he could think of? He then stated he wanted to see more Jacksons, Washingtons, Fords, etc. Thanks for making it a racial issue there pal. By the way, you work for an O'Donnell you mush! Go back to sleep in lockup....
oh well, you reap what you sow Chicago. Have a heck of a summer.
I think almost all of started out the job really wanting to do work and get a lot of these shit heads off the street. But after only a few years, you realize that almost all of your work is futile.
For instance, If you arrest someone for drugs, they're out in a couple hours and right back doing the same thing AND when they get to court all the charges are dropped on the spot. They even tell you now that they don't care if they get arrested. So why bother, what the f*ck is the point.

Suck it up you fuckin' pansy! 10 hours days would be perfect. An extra 2 hours of doing nothing will get you extra days off to be a sissy!
The majority of us coppers really would like to be aggressive and work hard and go through a lot of these idiots but we have absolutely no backing anymore.
These shit heads allege you did something and you have to go through the ringer to prove you didn't. And now they're stripping you and sending you to call back at the drop of a dime. F*ck that.
I ask you why should we give two shits about people that will shoot us, sue us, try to get us fired just for trying to clean up THIER neighborhoods?
I've come to the realization that they want to live in filth. They don't want us around doing proactive patrolling and stopping them and their relatives looking to prevent crime. They would rather just let the drug dealers sell drugs, collect thier welfare checks and link cards and not have to deal with us all. If they end up with a few casualties along the way, they are willing to pay that price to live in a lawless state.
It's evident by when your chasing someone down the block and you ask the neighbors on the porch where the offender went and nobody says anything.
Why bother?
And wait till the first time you get sued for doing your job and doing absolutely nothing wrong but locking a deserving criminal up. If that doesn't turn you sour to working....
I work in 025 and J-Fed just threw two good P.O.'s under the "J-Fed Federal Indictment Express". Two P.O.'s were supposedly involved in taking kickbacks from tow truck drivers. Now, everyone knows that this is against CPD policy. And if they did do such things, then for God's sake, punish them by giving them a CR # and a warning, perhaps 5 to 15 days of suspension. But what did the new CPD under J-Fed do? They are now under investigation by the FBI AND they were stripped at IAD headquarters on 5/20/08. There you go folks, fuck up once over a minor thing and you will have the Feds after you. What a joke. I could understand sticking the Feds on a P.O. if one steals, makes up evidence, plants guns, drugs, etc... on people. But to have the Feds hound you for taking money from tow truck drivers? And then we are supposed to be more aggressive for this department? Why even bother. I say answer your calls for service and if you see something on view, then help the citizen out. But I would not stick my neck out by doing any type of proactive police work because J-Fed might end up indicting me.
I thought i'd never see the day when guys are actually coming down from tact offices b/c they feel it's not worth it anymore. Even bosses are coming down too.
These are a lot of times the hardest workers in the district and this city is turning them into dogs. I really can't believe how bad things are getting.
Looks like mother nature is as pissed off as we are...........
Ill never be "agressive" again. Really what did all those pinches get me? Nothing but heartburn and advancement for others.
Work my ass off and who got on the Tac Team? The same Bimbo who got thru the academy on a prayer and wouldnt know how to make a case if it nit her in the ass.
To much politics, to much backstabbing, to much aggravation. And for what? Get a beef and the Dept. will still step on you.
Funny but I used to say the day will never come where Ill lay down. But that day is now here. And these young Bucs look down on me like a dog. Well, maybe I am. But just wait till they are in their 50s.
But even now, fucked as I am, I'd probably go back to making cases if this job wasnt so fucked.
But it aint going to change. And I dont trust the brass or the city.
I wish Jody had said this shit to me.
Take care of your business and NOTHING MORE!!!!!
Answer calls, write paper, back up officers who need help.....not the dummies that make about 100 street stops a night until they find that 1 rock.....unless same dummies get themselves in an emergency.
Fuck being aggressive!
AGGRESSIVE = TROUBLE!
AGGRESSIVE = TROUBLE!
AGGRESSIVE = TROUBLE!
Who wants to be sued, take time, get stripped, lose this job, etc.?
Jody, the Dept., and the City DO NOT and WILL NOT have your back if things look, sound, or go bad for being aggressive.
I have been aggressive in the past but that is over. It is hard to stop doing what I love to do and I admit that I feel ashamed in doing so.It is not in my nature to lay down on the job. I want and desire to help good people. However, I think in this climate it is not prudent to stick my neck out or go that extra mile to do police work with an axeman hovering over my head waiting for the slightest mistake.Those of us non-clouted working officers always knew that we would not be protected if we made a mistake like the clouted, connected or related officers. Now it's far worse, you aren't looking at a suspension, you are looking at being fired and the possibility of going to prison. Now we hear of a mandatory Power test in the works, for whom? Everyone? Just patrol? How many Sergeants and above could pass a Power test? From the looks of it, not too many. Everything I see on this job lately is telling me to stop being proactive. This is like some sick version of Orwell's 1984. Everyone is walking on eggshells and handling every situation with kid gloves. Do you seriously think the GD's, Vice Lords,Latin Kings or any other gang is going to be afraid of "Bureaucrat's in Blue"? Stop! Or I'll yell stop again!, Is that what you want? From our point of view nobody wants to be the poster child or the sacrificial lamb that the city will crucify and hang out to dry, then wash their hands of in the press to make an example of some poor sap. I don't mean Abatte or the shoplifter or any stupid off duty nonsense, I mean an honest mistake at work in good faith. Yeah, what I'm saying is, I'm afraid to be the police. I'm not afraid of the gangs,being shot or stabbed,getting beat up,I knew those things could happen to me when I joined. I'm afraid of the politicians that run this city and department and that is a shame.
Today on NPR they stated arrest were down 15% for the 1st quarter of the year. Thought it would be a lot lower but not a bad start. Monique Bond was saying that it's due to to conspiracy cases and all the arrest from last year that's why we are down. BS! Unless someone is signing the complaint no one goes to jail. No more risking my freedom, home or family for Daley or J-Fraud. Can't believe they only quote what Ms. Bond has to say. Any info. from J-Fraud at MPHS last night?
Dear fellow CPD POs,
I have to make a comment regarding this 'work slow down' topic. As all CPD officers know, the mayor hates us, J-FED (although may not hate us) would F^$# us in a heart beat, and most of Chicago's citizens hate us. There are so many reasons not do anything while on patrol especially not wanting to get jammed up. This department has chosen to promote horrible supervisors and GIVE NO REAL training to POs. NONE! Weapons, self defense, talking to an out of control Chicago citizenry. We have been left out to dry on so many levels. All we have is eachother. If more and more of us continue to hide out in a hole we will create a culture of complacency. Combine that with an ever growing violent crime rate, we will pay with our lives starting with the easier targets who's DVDs are glowing red hot at night. Who cares about parkers and movers (besides Daley) lets just care about ourselves and our families. Lets try to pull some corporate sponsorship and train ourselves or at the very least spend our eight hours moving around while trying to identify who the enemy is and keep a close eye on them as they are watching us. Lets get smarter at how we do police work ie. tactics and strategies. The arrests don't have to rise just are awareness of our surroundings. I know there will be some who will make fun of this but I love my kids and I would do anything for them as I would for my fellow police officer. I would love to see an improvement in our situation and owe it all to us. The FOP, J-FED, and the Mayor will have alot of explaining to do when it is discovered that the PO's took control of the CPD and made it better-ultimately were the only ones who can. Please post any suggestions and then run with it!
Sincerely,
A PO
I think the 15% number is total Bullshit. I was up in the Area the other day and a watched them attempt to put together a line up. After checking 4 southsde Districts they could not find but one M/1 and had to use officers to hold the line up.
The real number may be more like 40%. However the city and press will play it off as arrests are down because crime is down. Remember these words.
it is about time WE ALL SAW THE LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Protect yourself, your partner and your family.....
No more proactive policing!!!!!!!!
Agressive = CR #'s. Plain & simple. And with this department out for blood, there is no chance that any smart officer is going to fall into that trap again. For years bosses asked coppers to do warrants, chase dope dealers, clear corners. When we obliged, we got numerous beefs for our troubles. Then when you ask to go to a unit or get out of patrol, your told that your discipline history is bad.. Fuck that!! Im done..
Peace out my brothers & sisters.
8 hours a day in my cruiser w/o my shoes on. hows that for being aggressive?
Dear J Fraud,
I drive my beat car with 101553miles on it to all my jobs write every body a case report(it seems to make them content) occasionally try and run a plate or name on my pdt but it is always out of range or just not working, take my lunch, enjoy a nice personell, fill the car up with gas and pretty much stay out of trouble by ignoring all the silly shit going on in this city. I dont have a contract, you dont have my back, the politicans would like nothing more than to make an example of me for any silly reason, you cant even explain what merit is but you make merit promotions. So you can kiss my ass Ill write paper on as many 0110 as I have to but Im not stopping anybody from doing anything that doesnt involve me another PO or my family screw you J fraud, screw mayor mumbles and screw this city. 19b that man with a gun squad I dont see anyone out here.
Hey Daley , Another round of corruption charges under your administration . FUCK YOU DALEY ! your next you little prick. I hope the feds put all you cocksuckers in the joint . You want the CPD cleaned up , why don't you try cleaning up your mess first.
They want to save money? Put more cars on the street,at least unmarks? Want to make people accountable? Start at police HQ and the Academy. Why do Lt Sgt and Po have take home cars? What is the reason. What do they respond to? Why does a Lt from R&D have a take home car? Why do POs have take home cars? Why do Sgt have take home cars that never see the street and only park them outside the house? The savings in gas and maintenance alone would generate revenue for more cops to be hired.
Why is that Lt on the Academy have take home cars? What do they respond to? Drives the car to work and back and it seats in front of the house. Waste of equipment!!!
Sworn personnel that have take home cars that respond to nothing, go back and forth to work and do nothing but shuffle papers or brown nose.
Save money and get rid of the take home cars. Hence hire more cops.
Why doesn't J-Fed address these issues?
Most of us still love what being "the police" still is, we just hate this department. How about trying to find out what dept/agency has actually high morale?? I'm sure it doesn't involve a clout heavy political anti-police machine, residency, gangbangers as P.O.s, 6-day workweek etc....
How about a survey?
Can we help keep our own neighborhoods clean?
Druggies show up every Thursday between 1130hrs & 1330hrs, call their connect on a cell phone, wait at the mouth of the alley between 4112 & 4116 W. Addison, get into a midnite blue compact Chevy Lic# X145998, then go eastbound in the north alley of Addison, stop for a minute, then get out & walk away as the Chevy goes back out onto Addison at the West alley of Pulaski?
Descriptions:
#1. M/W/early 20's, 5-8 to 5-10, 145-160, crew cut lt. brn hair, unshaven, tattoos on arms, hillbilly looking, sometimes wears a blue sweatshirt jac over a dark grey hoodie & holds a wad of bills in his left hand, talking about shoplifting goods from various stores.
#2. M/W/mid 20's, (slightly older than #1, possibly his brother) 5-10, 150-170, raggedy spiky hair, hilbilly looking, grey hoodie, calls on cell phone, then paces nervously until connect arrives in midnite blue Chevy (looks Black).
#3. M/WH/20's 5-9, 165, dark complexion, dirty red ball cap, dark hoodie, dirty jeans.
When are these guys going to get locked up?
Retired P.O. getting no help from the district.
It finally came to this.
1st they beat you down, annonymous cr#'s from any lying gangbanger, indict the police asap, listen to reverends and tell us how to act and now be more aggressive! Not till you change cpd.
good work guys and gals, keep it up. they shit on us . screw them. they created this now they have to deal with it. its going to be one hell of a bloody summer. i see a new recorded high for homicides. I am sorry i mean death investigations.
hahaha
I'm sitting here watching CLTV and this quote was attributed to our fabulous spokesperson Monique Bond...
"The drop in arrests could be attributed to several factors including success in putting away drug dealers and other crime fighting strategies."
May I be the first to say it,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
this shit was a long time coming! I enjoy sitting back now and watching them suffer at their own hands...GO HARRASS YOURSELF J.OFF! AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY :)
Verification from 015 please... Heard Walter Green is making a huge impression in 015. Tac Lt showed a list of guys he wanted on the team and showed the DC their arrest stats. DC said he wants his tac officers to mirror the community there (black), no regard for work history. He dumped his tac lt from the watch and then dumped him to 025. Tells the troops that he will not allow anyone on tac below 3 years on the job but then brings in someone with 2 1/2 years on, 7 arrests and 160 days on medical/IOD. Third watch checked off with 1 arrest. Everyone else checked off with a big fat ZERO!!!! And you wonder why arrests are down?????
The 90 PO's put back in the districts from TRU are only going to supplement the 75(?) they are going to promote to Sgts. So again... patrol doesn't get shit.
With gas going up to over $5 a gallon soon How come there are so many take home cars?
**Supposedly very soon Exempts will be the only ones with take home cars. It's in the works.
Aggressive? I heard the same thing on tact and in sos. Translation fabricate probable cause, violate civil rights on street stops. Jfed why dont you run a pod mission those cameras are a great resource. Why dont you hire another fed buddy but put him on the street to show us fat ass's how you boys handle street crime.
Bite me. I worked my ass off for years, all I got was sued, dumped, and shat on. These bosses don't look out for workers, why the hell would we look out for them? Im done. Finito.
Be safe, conduct yourselves with pride, do your job, and get UNITED! Defend our contractual rights and our pension. Stick together and we'll be fine!
Hey SCC there is a gret web site its: numbersusa.com check it out and pass the word about it.
Bring back Eddie King..God rest his soul!! He was a policeman's policeman....Also bring back Bill Kushner....he is the REAL POLICE...Cicero is blessed to have a man of his caliber as their leader!! No nonsense and no bullshit hard working man....
Department spokeswoman Monique Bond, however, says the reduction could be due to other factors, including success in putting away drug dealers and other crime-fighting strategies.
I wonder if J fraud or daley know how to play the fiddle because this city will burn this summer. and I will write the report and then go to a bar for a shot and a beer.
jfed got exactly what he wanted. morale all time low, murder up; but boy oh boy did he ever clean up the dept. real morale bosster started with your command staff changes. tell the citizens of chicago how much mnoney you saved them with your exempt changes and all the people that left the dept but were hired back as civilians. great job your a real morale booster, love working for you daley. we all know that good work, not who you know, will put you in command.
naming the merit sgt's didn't mean shit. how about giving the sgt's who made it off the list a wish list of available districts, then letting the merit picks have what is left over, but i'm sure in 3 months they would be moved anyway, typical city bullshit.
Off topic:
ABC 7 just did a story of new corruption charges at city hall. No police involvement, however, ABC still put the Chicago police star on the screen at the beginning of the story. Real nice
I didn't realize the law allows you to carry 3 or less bags of dope around with you. Thats the law in 44! So unless you want false arrest law suites let em go!
remember blue friday every friday,
its working
since blue friday was mentioned j-fed has had meetings with us, keep it up.
Its hard to look away from the bad guys, real hard to train yourself to look away and not stop them search em lock em up. But I admit it feels good going home not worried about my family or house or my freedoms. I also admit just answering calls and putting heavy miles on the unmarked have really made the bosses crazy with threats and pp talks. Keep the talks boys and girls bosses we dont care.
You cant turn the machine back on after you pulled the plug!!
Ask Jfed what is his agenda, he obviously came in with a definite agenda:
*forcing retirement or else for all top exempt positions
*replacing all district cmdrs w/a couple of 'musical chair' moves laterally
*Cozzi, need I say more...
Now he acts like he needs input from the lowly ranks of blue shirts to run this dept, the above moves show alot of arrogance & know it all attitude.
The most work I do is getting my check on the 1st and 16th! I got to get electronic deposit!

Hey there weis and fuck face daley ..wait until the school children , you know the ones..get out of school .. Hot summer here we come
Mr Supt.
On one hand your are cheering the police to be aggresive and make arrest. Before you are finished with that statement you saying your going to indict policemen. Maybe you go to too many extreemes for getting what you want. You already blew your integrety with a lot of these choices. Maybe it will come down between US or the Rerevends.
Will someone attending these meetings with Supt. Jody Weis please ask him why the CPD refuses to categorically and unequivocally define the word "MERIT" in writing? That's "merit" as in so-called merit promotions.
Obviously, the City's definition of "merit" cannot be found in a dictionary.
Their (absence of) "definition" is in diametric and flagrant conflict with the praiseworthy virtue of achievment deserving of promotions, awards, honor or esteem.
I would have no objection if the City were to describe this noun as arbitrary and capricious`management discretion to include CLOUT.
When in the fuck is he going to Jail?
How do i get into the "Closed Maket" unit?
Why you ask
1. OEC takes every stupid call and the real ones they fail to get a descrip.
2. CR"s up the ass.
3. Merit, a joke
4. No contract
5. Shitty liberal ass judges
6. Asa"s that call us stupid.
7. Media that encourages hatred toward the police.
8. Cars that should be pop tops
9. The creation of exempt spots constantly growing.
10. Manpower at all time low
11.Underfunded pension, thankyou Mayor.
12. Alderman get routine pay raises, where is ours.
13. Ever increasing medical limits.
14. Computers that don't work
15. Water saving faucets that don't allow a P.O. to clean up.
16. Filthy station conditions... homeless who sleep on our floors and in our bathrooms who refuse DHS. Mice, roaches and little if no ventillation.
17. Revs.
18. Time due/not
19.Patrol (cameras) always pays the price for what other goofs are doing. Who checks on the dicks, exempts, aldercreatures or the mayor.... all paid with tax dollars.
20. HIGHEST TAXES in the US, thanks Toddler.
21. Property taxes... outrageous.
22. Corruption that must have reached the heavens by now.
23. No recognition for excellent police work unless your connected.
24. Broken cells,toilets, faxes, computers and doors. 006th Dist cell in processing room has been down for years.
25. Half hour for lunch denied often and never enough time as you wait to be served in da hood.
26. Outdated and conflicting general orders.
27. Outrageous prices for uniform equipment.... who has that contract ?
28. 6 (SIX) day work week.
29. Treated like children
30.DISCIPLINE, a day for a traffic accident. Who the hell does that on purpose.
Let me go out and lock up some bad people now...HAHAHAHA
Did they not just do the minimum in Cleveland or was it Cincinnati and the peeps finally got fed up and the po po got better equipment and other things they wanted? I could be wrong...I could have dreamnt this...this could just be wishful thinking...or maybe I really just need a drink...J-Fed, can I get a ride home?
Detectives are feeling the same...if the felon doesn't want to talk within a few hours oh well RWOC.
-48 hour rule cut down to half the time.
-video tape every single moment in custody.
-If the s***head does give a confession when he goes to court he claims the Det. beat him for it..guess what the jury beleives the s***head not the police anymore.
-And never forget FELONY REVIEW (need I say anymore).
They tied all of our hands. I can't wait to see this summer.
Protect yourself and each other.
Quote of the month...I have now become the officer I use to hate to work with.
Add to the list:
Unjustly discipline innocent officers
Unjustly strip innocent officers
Unjustly fire innocent officers
Maliciously prosecute innocent officers
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!!!
When Did MOPERAH become a regular contributor? Shes the worse than the normal shitbag media that is too lazy to do their jobs and fact check. How bout your idiot reverends being driven around by gangbangers with a suspended DL? EH?
MOPERAH, If you give a shit about the dumps that we patrol how about writing to the good citizens about cooperating with the police? Stop defending the idiots!!!!!!!!! Much like weve done on this blog to our own who cant avoid doing something stupid. Oh yeah your paycheck, hope selling out your people for that was worth the measley 6 figures you earn.
If you are at all informed and Im sure your not you know how these neighborhoods work. Attack that in your stupid little column. Your worse than Mariotti, but heres the problem.... He doesnt write about anything that matters, YOU DO. Quit poisoning your own community.

I was at the Academy this week for some training. I was shocked to see all the darkened rooms and hardly any recruits around. I think they have one metro class going and maybe one or two classes of CPD recruits. It's a damn shame. This Department is falling deeper and deeper into a hole.

---------------------------------
The city got what it wanted. With the CR's and being sued and thses second guesses (not to mention cameras). The working police have quit. The police are scared. If the media wants someone to blame call IPR, the mayors office, the lawyers who sue the police, and then the media themselves. Keep on pounding us and keep the CR#s coming in because they only increase the crime stats.

AND WHILE THEY WERE GETTING YELLED AT, THEIR EXCELLENT SARGEANT ADMONISHED ONE FOR HAVING NO TIE ON. Please tell me the 016th district does'nt have bad bosses. They should be protecting the homefront, not worried about little things!!!!!!!!!!
5/22/2008 08:02:00 AM
The 3rd watch has a few great sergeants and a few real weak sergeants. there is no in between. As for the watch commander...he is terrible at best. he was a cast-off of the 9th district where he was not very well liked. If i were a higher-up, I wouldn't care if the officers were naked with duty belts on to make a homicide pinch. Aside from not giving an address for safety reasons, great pinch by the officers, terrible reaction by some of the most spineless bosses that I have seen in a long time.
I would say that tact LT from 015 got a raw deal, but hes been an ass licking company man for a long time and finally got what he had coming to him. Now if only his sidekick 1568 would take a hike. It would take a bulldozer to remove his tongue from that Lt's ass though...015 is going downhill fast. It used to be a fun place to work...

Actually, the smart ones are doing exactly that, biding one's time.
Since anyone can read this blog, and, since few of the scum are capable of thinking much beyond the tips of their noses, the obvious possibilities elude them.
You've touched on a few things that you should be sharing only via 'from your lips to my ears', certainly not on a publicly read forum.
Be advised that, while actions may necessarily be 'temporarily' suspended, for the various strategic purposes stated elsewhere, data gathering should not be one of those suspended actions.
The future will become the present, in due course of time, and those who HAVE prepared for it will be the ones who ARE prepared for it.
Knowledge is power.
Gather all the knowledge you can, for the time when it will be of use to you.
Because that time is coming, it will be here before some know it, right after the reasonable and honest goals are attained.
Enjoy the lull, utilize it to your collective advantage and be ready when the inevitable call to duty is worth responding to.

Hello???? When we are aggressive we don't get back-up from the Sgt on up. You asked for it, you got it. Everytime someone gets arrested and someone beefs about the arrest, it's always the cop's fault, not the gangbanger who resists, and then the mammas and revs come out of the woodwork along with the media. CPD crime-fightin days are over.

The two POs who were stripped in 25 were NOT done so because of tow truck payoffs. They screwed up big time. Too bad, too.
The tow trucks are yet to come.

Skip the parkers and that occasional anov.
You've got better things to do with your time.
to 4:40 pm....god i hope you're not the police! IT WAS THE CITY OF CHICAGO LOGO FORREST!
"At all of his open meetings use as many acronyms as possible (IVC) (DUI) etc. and confuse the hell out of him.

Now that's just plain mean......
I like it.
Jfed has been emasculated. Mike Masters runs the show. He and his pack of three year wonders have taken over the 5th floor. They have some goof sgt who was a dumpee from SOS in charge. jfed does not take a piss without Mike Masters giving him the ok. This department is being run by complete incompetence. We are completely screwed. Give the midget what he wants - nothing.

"In my 1.5 years on the CPD I have NEVER....and I mean NEVER seen morale this low.

Actually, it's never been so high.
Finally, the truth is becoming common knowledge.
Thank you, SCC, you have lifted the rock.
Did J Fed say anything about getting the sick the lame and the lazy out of the offices and the bench sniffers and drunks out of the lock ups?
"Hahahahahahaha....stop it you're killin' me, who knew Jody was going to be the next Shecky Green?

More like Rodney Dangerfield.
the other day I watched the other FBI agent-Brust walk into the academy. He even walks like a dickhead fed. I have never been so unimpressed with this department as I am now. All you guys crying about williams, hilliard, cline, ect... what about now? And another thing, all you dummies signing up for the rifle class? Why? no extra pay, but a whole lotta risk. If you think it makes you look cool, join the army. They look cool. You people look stupid.

As a newly minted P.O., you should keep your mouth shut till you know your head from your ass! A boss may not support your "working" because you don't know what the fuck your doing and he doesn't want to see you unemployed or in jail.
DEAR SUPT WEISS:
PLEASE STOP HAVING THESE STUPID ASS MEETINGS BEATING OUR COPS TO DEATH. YOU'RE LIVED IN CENTRAL FL SUCH AS MYSELF AND KNOW WHAT TYPE OF ADVANCED TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT THE OFFICERS HAVE AS WELL AS OTHER PERKS.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE, HAVE SOME BRASS BALLS AND DEMAND BETTER FROM OUR CITY.
UNTIL THEN, I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS IF OUR MEN AND WOMEN PARK TAKE A FVCKING NAP, DO YOGA, ETC.
SIGNED-
CHICAGO RESIDENT AND NOT A COP

I work in this district on days and haven't heard even 1 call come out like that. Unless I know what is going on I can't stop it. How about coming into the district and letting us know.
i got more time sitting on the shitter than silly putty head j-fed has on the street. how come ppo j-fed isn't on midnights, no seniority. how about a 1a or 1b furlough. you come here with a bag full of hot air and you get called on it because you are a putz to all blue boys on this job. go back to philly. you and ramsey can shish kabob those po's who did a little tune on the aggravated battery offenders.

Help yourself:
MOVE OUT ALREADY!!!!!!
Unfortunately, J-Fed came in like a bull in a china shop. Cozzi was just for intimidation. "I'll show you who is the boss". Too bad and so sad. It backfired and now he can't unduo it. He made enemies of the patrol officers right from the gitgo with this stupidity.
Any good leader knows that you take your time and get a feel for the job before making decisions. I said "good leader". I rest my case. I think everyone was really willing to give him chance. He needs to stop listening to his advisers.
J-FED:
PLEASE DEFINE CPD "MERIT" IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS.
Retired P.O. not getting any help on Addison...10-99
Instead of saying "We can tell that the cougar was from South Dakota by analyzing his DNA" why can't they just say "We looked at his poop."
Fellow Officers,
I have not attended one of these Supe's meetings. But, what if someone requests the Supe to invite the ASA (Devine) to a meeting and one of our own, in a professional manner, ask him why the ASA's Office is not prosecuting violations of the sworn affidavit?
IF the ASA has prosecuted a sworn affidavit case, prove it to us. Also, how about a permanent addition to a "not sustained" CR file if the complainant is found guilty of having falsified the affidavit?
is this the NEW TREND, fbi bypassing our disciplinary system...so now its 'bypass GO & straight to jail'
where is our FOP voice, like a fart in the wind.
Dear, Jody and Richie,
You have lost the Dept., I hear you both already have realized this, just wanted you to hear it from one on the street.
We dont care at all anymore. You bow down to the Reverands and stick it to us. You give in to all frivolous CRs and lawsuits and NEVER back us up.
I am glad you have noticed we are down 9,000 guns and homicides are up. I just hope our revenue is decreasing for you.
Just as you have said to us and proven to us....GFY!
Thursday night meeting at lane Tech in Area 3 w/Supt and Cuelo
I am 25 year guy and was very skeptical of J-Fed at first. Now after hearing J-Fed and being there for over two hours I will at least allow him to try to do what he says he wants to do. He answered some tough questions and seemed honest.
He didn't dodge questions on Cozzi, he said he felt that Cozzi went way beyond the line and was no longer useful to the department. He said Cozzi was not drunk etc. and there were no mitigating factors in his favor. Cozzi basically beat a person handcuffed to a wheel chair and his usefulness to CPD was over.
He admitted to recommending to the SAIC in Chicago that they take a look at the tape. They did and recommended indictment to the Justice Dept.
The limiting factor will be if he can get money from Daley to do things. This City has no commitment to training and has not invested in training for years.
LA and others are way beyond us, Daley has to come up with money somehow or else nothing will change.
As for doing our jobs, I feel that we should be careful to do things right, don't lie down but do not make shit up, no manufactured cases etc. Either the case is there or it isn't. No fudging, no lying, don't give anyone a reason to have anything over us.
So, we will see. One thing for sure, it wasn't the same old line of shit we have always gotten from a Supt. If it's a new line of shit then shame on us, if he can do half of what he wants we will be better off for it. I will reserve judgement and see what kind of contract we get and what substantive changes he makes.
He did say he would like to have a contract in place by end of 2008. Only Daley can make that happen.
I will say this, he came across much better than I thought he would.
KMA means you can put your papers in whenever you please, that means 50 years old with at least 20 not the 29 +1 years on you idiot.
Verification from 015 please... Heard Walter Green is making a huge impression in 015. Tac Lt showed a list of guys he wanted on the team and showed the DC their arrest stats. DC said he wants his tac officers to mirror the community there (black), no regard for work history. He dumped his tac lt from the watch and then dumped him to 025. Tells the troops that he will not allow anyone on tac below 3 years on the job but then brings in someone with 2 1/2 years on, 7 arrests and 160 days on medical/IOD. Third watch checked off with 1 arrest. Everyone else checked off with a big fat ZERO!!!! And you wonder why arrests are down?????
5/22/2008 03:27:00 PM
Yup it happened. Actually tried to dump him to the deuce but the deputy stepped in. This tact lt had been there for several years and had the respect of all the teams. Watch what happens now Green....
to: 5/22/2008 08:02:00 AM
It wasn't Rambo or the Dwarf. They b 2 busy gettin' busy off there beat in the secret spot!!! We (016) know were it is!
015 here; Tact story verified. With Walter it appears that unless you be black he aint got your back!
"Bring back Eddie King..God rest his soul!! He was a policeman's policeman....Also bring back Bill Kushner....he is the REAL POLICE...Cicero is blessed to have a man of his caliber as their leader!! No nonsense and no bullshit hard working man...."
I'll agree with half of your post...Eddie King was one hell of a great boss to work for. The only thing bigger on this job than Kushner's fat ass was his ego. And he doesn't work for Cicero, he is the Chief of the Berwyn PD, and they can keep him as long as they want to.
When J-Fed came here, he got some very good advice from some individuals. But as usual, most Feds ignore the street cop and go with the guys with the shinny badges. They assume the bosses know more, which is a joke in this political climate.
They is a old saying:
Chicago have many bosses, but very few leaders.
It was true in 1950, and more true now.
This is why Chicago sucks!
A "citizen" while attepting to escape from CPD custody, decides to defeat the rooftop vent on top of the paddy wagon and climb out onto the roof of said wagon, while it is in motion and while handcuffed.
"Don't try this at home kids!" (Most 3 year olds know better than to try this.)Because everyone knows that you can be KILLED or seriously hurt!
So shitbird falls, lands on his egg-shell and dies! Ha-Ha! Fuck him, right?
Well no..this is Chicago. The lawsuit capitol of America. This happened last Saturday. Today, the goof's family files a wrongful death lawsuit in cRook county.
WOW! Unbelievible!
This nitwit was probably a financial cancer to this state, county, and city his whole friggin undesireable life, and now in Death will continue to TAKE!
Welcome to CPD and welcome to the Peoples Republic of Chicago Jody.
This is who you now serve!This goof and the millions just like him!
6) HIRE RETIREES TO WORK THE DESK IN ALL POLICE FACILITIES. I SEE THEM WORKING PRIVATE SECURITY FOR 15 $ AND HOUR. PLUS THEY ARE TRAINED ALREADY AND CAN WEAR THEIR GUN.
Great idea. Move officers on the street and use retirees not civilians. Too many PO's are filling jobs that a retiree or civilain are qualified for. Every unit has Po's as secretaries, time keepers, errand boys/gilrs, jobs for civilians or retirees. Of course, how can exempts hide their kids or friends?
"Hey you want to be police work somewhere where citizens care like 016 or 008....."
Yeah, Districts full of (white) CPD citizens...and (white) cops in those Districts who don't give a damn about policing their own neighborhood!
hey jfed, at least give US our last rites before you suckerpunch officers with fbi indictments...

Department spokeswoman Monique Bond, however, says the reduction could be due to other factors, including success in putting away drug dealers and other crime-fighting strategies.
5/22/2008 04:25:00 PM
Monique the great,or Monique the mouth. Amazing how she is so ignorant about police work. From shaking gun barrel to explain how arrest do not lower crime rate. Please keep her locked up in a office. She is a embarassment to this department.
To the 025 goof talking about how the two 025 coppers got indicted for taking money from tow truck drivers, a big F-U!!!! They are getting everything they deserve. They make the honest coppers handlings accident jobs more difficult. These tow truck drivers are ballsy and think because a few idiots allow them on their scene every other officer will. I do not allow them on my accidents scenes and if they do not leave they will be issued a anov and if they persist a ride to the station.
The only thing I do not agree is that the G is only going after the officers and not the actual tow truck drivers.
The department should conduct a reverse sting and go after these pieces of shit tow truck drivers.
Can we help keep our own neighborhoods clean?
When are these guys going to get locked up? . . 4112 & 4116 W. Addison . . Retired P.O. getting no help from the district.
-------------------
Let me tell you something . . I have 5 years until I RETIRE and I am counting the fuckin' minutes until I can GET OUT OF THIS SHIT-HOLE CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pulaski and Addison???
Holy Shit!
Did you take up doing drugs when you retired??
I suggest you drink some prune juice, get a map, and stick a pin in it to decide where the hell you should move to.
Anywhere but Shit-cago!
Can we help keep our own neighborhoods clean?
Druggies show up every Thursday between 1130hrs & 1330hrs, call their connect on a cell phone, wait
You'll never get any help during these times, Capt. Bimbo has all her day pets down at schools and supervisors are sleeping in station lot. Good luck with that.
Here's what I got say: little arrest are little headaches, big arrests are big headaches, and no arrests are NO headaches....HeadOn HeadOn HeadOn, I hate that commercial but I love that stuff.
why the hell do exempts need take home cars? They are making the most money of us all for doing the least? If you need a vehicle go pick one up at your office.....when you need it.
How can anyone even ask my morale is low around here?
Seriously
