Is This a Quota?

From the comments:
  • 26may08 - 008 3rd watch - Lt. Carson E. does a stand-up roll call/inspection on Memorial Day against G.O. Lt. C.E. then asks one P.O. "where is your hat?" and the P.O responds, "in my car." Lt. C.E. they tells P.O. to go get it. The entire watch stands at attention while P.O. makes the trip across 63rd st to get his hat. While P.O. is gone Lt. C.E. relates to the watch that the reason for the holiday inspection is punishment because on the previous day 25may, bt. 822 turned in their humper (daily activity log) with no activity. He then carries on to say that he personally gave Bt 822 a command to pick up activity because aldermen were beefing to which Bt. 822 did nothing.

    27may08 - 008 3rd watch - Lt. Carson E. passes out new updated humpers (daily activity logs) to all beat and rapid cars and relates that officers must complete them every single day or suffer serious consequences. He then tells the entire watch that they must increase their activity in order to stay on their cars. He says that he will personally check to see that nobody puts bullshit numbers on the humpers. He concludes by saying that activity is way down on 3rd watch and that it is not going to be tolerated.
An acting watch commander demanding "activity" in front of an entire roll call worth of witnesses? Could you define the "activity" desired lieutenant?
  • Tickets? We don't have a ticket quota - or at least that's what the City, Union and everyone seem to agree on publicly. Is that curtain finally falling?
  • Arrests? Is the watch being ordered to violate civil rights of persons engaged in their constitutionally protect rights to assemble, gather and flash gang signs on street corners? J-Fed has already proven that he'll refer anything he feels isn't punished enough to his buddies over at the US Attorneys Office. The loss of a start time or a car doesn't seem like a big deal compared to a few years in the Federal joint.
  • Contact Cards? That would involve contact with the public and having contact with citizens leads to accusations of verbal abuse, physical restraint and questions about professionalism. And a contact card (which Monique says is exactly like a warning ticket, despite the fact Chicago has never had "warning tickets") just proves that you actually met your accuser. Since IPRA and J-Fed are looking to hang coppers, it's like cutting your own throat.
  • Event numbers? Oh, we got plenty of those. We drive by all sorts of spots and get those. We get to use the radio! If we close our eyes and hold our noses, we can almost imagine we're driving a car with under 147,000 miles, no smell of dead ass, windows that keep the rain out and a slightly used rifle in the trunk - you know, like a professional department.
This is what passes for leadership nowadays - blanket punishment of an entire watch, demands to violate Department policy, threats to remove people from assignments. Way to motivate the troops!

UPDATE: Some of our more "brilliant" readers are missing the point. The point isn't lack of activity - it was a complete lack of ability to motivate activity out of the watch officers and resorting to that time honored tradition of bullies everywhere - threats - which time and time again never ever works. Especially on cops.

I have no reason to question the veracity of the statements about LT C. Earnest, but can someone else verify this???

I only ask because it does not sound like the guy I worked WITH, on the watch, 12 years ago in 8. maybe time changed him, and maybe being a boss changed him.

If so, I am saddened that "one of us" could so easliy become "one of them" .

Merit or not, do you have to sell your WHOLE soul to the devil??

This goes to everyone, not just those on 3rd watch in 008. DO NOT let these jag-off bosses strong arm you into activity only to make them look good! That is putting YOU out on the line..and for what?.. the way things are going now, do you really think that same jag-off boss will back you when you get caught up for doing proactive police work? Hell no! Especially with J-Fed so eager to get rid of us, you know that boss'll be hiding out somewhere.

He's an asshole, but he's totally within his rank as WC to put people on cars and take them off. He can make you stand at attention for inspection and make you get your hat.

If you don't want to do what he tells you, don't. You won't get fired, but you'll suffer some consequences.

All this crying to SCC because some WC is a jerk.

This jagbag must be formed from the same mold as Lt. John Andrews from 011. A couple years back, while as the the Field Lt., he called for an assist car on a traffic stop w/4 heads. The beat car rolls up, properly secures all occupants and proceeds to check vehicle, name check and contact card all occupants. Upon sending the four productive Westside members of society on their way, the good Lt. immediately calls for the sector Sgt. to spar the officers for not having a beat tag on the car. True story. Not sure if the spar ever materialized, but the order by J.A. was initialized. He's since mellowed considerably, but is not to be trusted.

yet another day of priceless pep talks from the LT on 3rd watch in 008! Brought out a copy of all officers activity and threatened to take guys off cars at the 1800 roll call.


I mean WTF is this guy/LT C E thinking. Here we have several guys from SOS, several guys from TRU, and I am pretty sure a guy from SWAT I think, but noone really knows as he is low key ( he still carries a taser so he obviously from somewhere)who all are at the roll call. These guys whom I have come to know some more recent and others for long time busted their asses.............. and what do they have to show for their hard work?.....It's friking amazing they still even want to do an ounce of proactive police work after the way they all got shit on, but most of them are doing something. They are the first guys at the calls and the first guys to roll by other people's T-stops to make sure they ok and the first guys to respond to you call of an emergency.

So myslef with just 2yrs on the job is very happy to have them here with us. I have ridden with most of them and are the first to help me out and answer what I throw at them.


I find it to be a downright disgrace to the guys at the roll call that this LT would even consider bringing this crap up at times like these

He is the LT and should know that cars are back logged from start to finsish with barely even a chance to get a lunch if it is approved on at least 4out of the 7days of the week. And it ain't even hot yet and school is still in.
I am not bitching about the way things are BELIEVE me as I have learned and seen for myself some places in A2 are way worse off, but come on LT. PReach somewhere else with the humpers and the activity speeches. The guy who is on the bottom is still getting the same paycheck as the rest of the retired or soon to be retired go getters only without all the beefs and lawsuits. Give the P.o.s some credit where credit is do. That activity speech is hurting more than it is helping. It is doing nothing but lowering the morale of all the officers that have already had the carpet pulled from under them so to speak. If you want more activity talk to someone about more bodies on the street to cover the backlog of calls and less camera's being big brother to all the working polices. I can only pray this isn't an occurance at all the roll calls city wide with the pep talk speeches from the J-Fraud. ITS ABOUT TIME TO SHOW US SOMETHING BEFROE YOU GET SOMETHING IN RETURN MR SUP/MAYORS PUPPET

I dont know j-fed and have never met him, but I hear he comes off as being intelligent and well spoken. Feds are hired for their intellect and book smarts not their street smarts. A real mayor hires an experienced police chief with the thinking that they can be trusted to be left alone knowing they hired someone with the knowledge needed to run a dept as they see fit. A mayor usually lacks the time and experience to run every dept, thus the reason they hire help. J-fed, I'm sure, has many good ideas (as do many experienced officers) on what is needed to make this a much better run dept. This is why it wont take him long to realize that this meddling moron with a power complex wont let anyone run this police dept alone as long as he is mayor.

A lot of these bosses aren't too bright and they certainly are not leaders. I think we have arrived at a critical mass of bosses who are in positions not due to qualifications but who they know/ blow/ contribute to, etc...
For a long time this department functioned in spite of these bosses through men and women who would bend the rules and work around incompetent white shirts to get the job done. This will happen much less now that most p.o.'s understand that they will be thrown under the bus by the very bosses they are trying to impress if the wind changes direction.
What we are now whitnessing is the Chicago police department trying to be Naperville p.d. in Chicago with unqualified leadership and officers more afraid of their employers than the bad guys.
The results of this idiocy will be measured in the blood spilled in the faster districts of this city where the criminals clearly understand the police have been reduced to ornaments.

Lt carson has always been an obnoxious waste of a breathing human being. Al I can say is when this he was a sgt and being a bastard as usual I had a wonderful Lt. on my side who handed him his ass for questioning him on a decision the Lt. had made and allowed me to do. My poor partner was in tears after he freakin yelled at us needlessly and scared the shit out of the poor girl. I simply let him know that if he had a problem with what we did he needed to address it with the w/c who was in total agreement and who made the decision not us. He is a total jerk and a pushy irritating arrogant son of a bitch. If it isn't in his best interest it doesn't matter. It goes to show once people get that white shirt on they turn into total ass holes. Talk about someone with a chip on his shoulder and napolian syndrome.
The louder he yells the bigger your smile should get cause it pisses him off!
We do not have quotas and verbal beratement of officers is not acceptable and should be brought to someones attention. Not only is it unproffessional but inappropriate. Theses officers should file a harrassment suit in addition to a a suit for a hostile work environment based on the verbal attack by carson and his usumption that the lack of activity is based on negligence of duty by police officers.

SCC, OT, but I thought the readers should see this,reprinted from the Lieutenants Association web page. Hopefully this is one thing that the Supt. follows through with.

Dear Superintendent Weis,

I was reading the Lieutenants Association Newsletter and was very happy to see Lieutenant Robert Stasch's article about the Saint Jude March. He is absolutely right in wanting the Saint Jude March back on Michigan Avenue.

Last year I sent an E-Mail to Superintendent Cline expressing the opinion of myself and several other officers that the Saint Jude March should be on Michigan Avenue. I received a polite respond and that was the end of it.

The decision to move the Saint Jude March to the Memorial was made by a small group of people. I think that the entire department should have been polled on this matter.

The bottom line is that we get so much negative press and I feel that when the Chicago Police Department is doing something so wonderful as honoring their fallen members that they should be in their full glory on Michigan Avenue for the whole world to see.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for any consideration given to this matter.

Lieutenant Maureen E. Ziegenhorn
18th District

The letter from Lt. Ziegenhorn was sent to the Superintendent on 21 May 2008. The Superintendent has responded since then to her that he is working to ensure that the St. Judes March will be held next year back on Michigan Ave. where it belongs.

I can't blame the police of the 008th or citywide for the drop in production. Next thing you know, felony review might actually feel the burn from this and approve a few felonies.

I've known Carson for over 20 years --he is a box of rocks.
Everytime someone would criticize him about what an idiot sergeant or lt. he is, someone would protect him and say what a great tact guy he was. He was an idiot. As a detective who handled a robbery of his, he put felony charges of robbery on a guy, put him in the lock up and went home.
No complaints, no 101's, no call to the dicks and no call to felony review. He was pissed off when the w/c called him back -- because he had to leave a political fund raiser to clean up his mess.

To this fukstik I say, policing isn't a fucking work product assembly line or retail sales environment you idiot. It's a responsive act to observed infraction of whatever the current flavor of the law requires.

Fuck your ignorant "boss" interpretation of how to measure a copper's worth by how much of your bullshit "product" they can generate to keep the other well known fukstik paying out cash to the shithead dregs of this city.

And Daley can go shit himself and dance in the corner at Northwestern. What a bullshit scam foisted on the kids at that school. Like nobody knows the criminal shithead Daley doesn't shovel money at this institution to come up with bullshit worthless evaluations on criminal activity, presumed expert analysis on policing and any useless fucking classes he can extort cash from the coffers to pay his buddies over there for.

FIND THE ALDERMAN'S OFFICE AND THE ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICE IN YOUR DISTRICT RIGHT THEM UP FOR PARKERS.

YOU SEE THE 1ST THING THAT OFFICE IS GOIN TO DO IS CALL THE COMMANDER TO NON-SUIT THE TICKETS.

IF YOUR COMMANDER IS AS DUMB AS HE SOUNDS HE WILL ASK YOU TO DO IT.
DOCUMENT THE CONVERSATION AND THEN FOLLOW HIS ORDER. NOW YOU HAVE AMMO
BECAUSE HE IS BEING SO UNETHICAL AND YOU HAVE PROOF.

YOU WILL HAVE A COPY OF ORIGINAL TICKET.

YOU WILL HAVE A COPY OF THE NON-SUITED PAPER WK.

YOU WILL HAVE THE PLATE AND OWNER INFORMATION FOR THE VEHICLE.

YOU WILL SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FIND THE TITLE OF THE EMPLOYEE FROM THE ALDERMAN'S THAT PROCURED THE FAVOR.

YOU COULD GO IN CIVILIAN ATTIRE AND ASK FOR THE BUSINESS CARD OF THE CLOUT HACK.

JUST KEEP IT HANDY. DO IT AGAIN IF YOU HAVE PLANS ON BEING ANYTHING OF MERIT. THIS IS THE CHICAGO WAY.

And if guys really are laying down and are dumb enough to flaunt it by turning in empty humpers, then I can see the wc getting mad. Laying down is totally understandable given the current climate, but boss reaction to us laying down is equally understandable.... bossese that lose watches end up with long long drives to work....

Then the Lt will have to watch his mouth and also what what he asks for. Just because he is a white shirt, doesn't mean he can FUCK with you. Just is supposed to LEAD. Not play little fucking games.

This is NOT surprising. I worked in 008 and he is as arrogant a boss as u will find on this job. See if his juice isnt Mike Madigan? He lives VERY close to the alleged speakers "home" and at one point had the balls to answer his cell phone in the middle of roll call when supposedly the speaker called. "yes sir Mr Speaker, we'll get on it, can I just call you back after roll call sir" Anyone else remeber that day? This guy is a back stabber if I ever saw one. Tells you "hey guys go out there do what u have to do and I will be there to back you up." When he gets in the WC office he is backstabbing coppers and ass sucking with DC. He has been sued by coppers for the way he speaks at roll call. Its not unusual for him to berate female coppers, make anti catholic remarks, talk about priests fondling balls, rip on germans as nazis, he once called out a korean PPO on pearl harbor day. I guess he doesnt know the difference between japanese and koreans. All of this coming from a hillbilly from Alabama. What a jagoff he is! He is the definition of arrogance. Or maybe the day he was transferred to 007 soon after making LT and declared at roll call, "we'll see how long this lasts, I'll be back within a week" And thanks to mikey madigan he in fact was. To the guys in 008, keep your heads up, since leaving i have been to 2 other districts and can say 008 had the best guys to work with and is by far the busiest district in this city. To the guys that have been there so long and might be hesitant to make the move. DO IT, its amazing how some districts are so slow and easy to work in!

ROBERT PODGORNY JOINS DOW JONES INDEXES

NEW YORK (May 29, 2008)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced that Robert Podgorny, 59, most recently president of the National Conference of Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS), will join as manager, fiduciary relations on June 2, 2008.

In this newly created role, Mr. Podgorny will serve as Dow Jones Indexes’ ambassador to the pension fund community. He will educate plan sponsors on the importance of effective benchmark adoption and illustrate the advantages of and encourage use of the Dow Jones Wilshire indexes...

Mr. Podgorny has an extensive background in public service and pensions. Prior to his post at NCPERS, he was first vice president of Chicago's Fraternal Order of Police Lodge # 7, having served on the board for 21 years. He currently serves as a trustee and also has chaired numerous committees. Mr. Podgorny served as a Chicago police officer for more than 33 years. There he was instrumental in obtaining collective bargaining rights for the Chicago Police Department. In addition to his collective bargaining expertise, Mr. Podgorny dealt with all medical and health-related issues and disabilities of Chicago police officers.

Looks like Bob has parlayed his FOP and pension board work into a very cushy retirement plan!

To the officers in 008 on 3rd watch, RELAX. Wear the proper uniform, respond to jobs in a timely manner and take appropriate police action. If you do those 3 things nobody can touch you. Sure the W/C can adjust your starting time or deny you time due if you bring in zeros, big deal. You need a day off, go IOD, save your time. They can't make you see anything out on the street. Trust me you will out last them. Those humpers are nothing new. Write a big zero across the whole thing and watch the W/C freak. It's fun. I had one W/C hand us report cards daily with activity, or lack of it, on it. I had one W/C list activity next to the sheets for the next day. Your W/C is simply using the embarassment tactic at this time which is age old for a non leader. Laugh at it. He will move on to something else just as humorous as this when he realizes nobody cares. Been there done that.

I 2nd the motion!!! Take for instance (1) Lt. J.B. Those who worked for him loved him because he took care of us, but we had to pay the man w/ activity--yes pro-active police work which most of us enjoyed. However, when the shit hit the fan, the good Lt. was no where to be found. Things that make you go HHMMMM. If you are going to work, which I still do, do it because you want to not to impress somebody. Then if something happens, you only have yourself to hold accountable.

Fuck these non-backing, pencil pushing pussy bosses!!! You want numbers then fuckin' go get 'em. There is no G.O. that states that a Lt. can't make an arrest. Write a fuckin' parker and hazard and turn it in on your humper you ball less pricks!!

He's doing his job, and it's his decision who gets to work where on his watch.

Your an idiot. You punish the whole watch for a car having a empty humper. LT wants to know what that car did for the night. Pull up its event history and pull them into the office alone. The LT sounds like an asshat. Much like your comment. If they are a beat car, all they have to do is ride their beat and answer their call, fill out that report.. Rapid car, patrol their sector and answer their calls and fill out that report. Finally, go home to your family and collect that check on the 1st and 16th. There's Capt. Farrell on midnights in 002. Have the LT watch him as a boss and learn something, see the way he treats his officers.

I am not going to stop people, fill out contact cards, or arrest people without any probable cause. Why would I want to place my career and personal liberty on the line?

Maybe they dont lock everyone up or write movers but..... If there ever is an incident involving a copper, accident/agg bat, they volunteer to write the paper. They write it the right way.

If you need help they always roll. If there is a fight they usually are the first ones there.

There is a lot more to police work than numbers. Leave those guys alone.

Ah, 'production'.

Is that what we're calling it now?

As if police work is no different than, say, making the proverbial widget.

Or selling used cars.

Or cleaning carpets.

Or telemarketing.

Or ............

I worked in 8 for a few years and had the opportunity to work from that LT. He is a poor leader.

His style of leaderrship is ineffective. Respecting your subordinates is key in productivity. Threats will not only conduse anger, it is counter-productive.

Lead by example, not by position.

Treat other with respect regardless of your rank.

TO ALL SUPERVISIORS:

Remember that it is the P.O's that turn the wheel in this department.
Asking and not dictating will get you very far.

yup most of the TRU guys on the 008 3rd watch paid their dues long before TRU was started. They paid them why they were over there as well.

Trust me they ain't no 2 yr wonders. ITs great to have all these X unit guys on the watch. Liek it has been stated they may not be shaking down shorty shithead on the corner every 5 min looking for 1 baggers, but when the shit hgit the fan and p.o's calling for help and other cars all these guys are the first to roll. Hot calls as well. That is all we can ask.


As to the west end getting police service..........YOU ALL ARE THE POLICE AND KNOW HOW CALLS ARE PRIORITIZED. So yup you disturbance with the loud music is what a 3a maybe...........So they might even hit the board in an hr. So quit bashing the P.O's in 008. The 10sec cars these days are a majority of homeland security guys. They are locking people up and chasing shorty shithead around the area. You want the police so bad put your fuking start on and go outside and have some balls to tell your jagoff nmeighbors to shut the fuck up!. Like is said if you were any type of officer you would understand that your priority 3 call for noise of Gang disturbance isn't gonna hit the backlogged board til at least an hr.

Talk to the Alderman and the Supo and quit blaming the hard working P.O's in 008 for the lack of sevice. Most are handling 20-30 calls a night

Hey SCC,
Welcome to Evanston PD! We were told by our Dep. Chief that he expects us to have a minimum of 10 movers and 20 parking tickets a month. Not as a shift, but as an individual. And if we don't hit this mark, we will be dinged on our yearly evaluations.
Sad to see what happens to police work when political hacks do the bidding of the corrupt politicians.

A lot of these bosses aren't too bright and they certainly are not leaders. I think we have arrived at a critical mass of bosses who are in positions not due to qualifications but who they know/ blow/ contribute to, etc...
For a long time this department functioned in spite of these bosses through men and women who would bend the rules and work around incompetent white shirts to get the job done. This will happen much less now that most p.o.'s understand that they will be thrown under the bus by the very bosses they are trying to impress if the wind changes direction.
What we are now whitnessing is the Chicago police department trying to be Naperville p.d. in Chicago with unqualified leadership and officers more afraid of their employers than the bad guys.
The results of this idiocy will be measured in the blood spilled in the faster districts of this city where the criminals clearly understand the police have been reduced to ornaments.

"""Give him a break- Lt. Ernest has always looked out for coppers. Half the people whine on here about the lack of work done in 008, and now they are going to attack this guy who is one of the really good bosses in the City. He's doing his job, and it's his decision who gets to work where on his watch.

Your an idiot. You punish the whole watch for a car having a empty humper. LT wants to know what that car did for the night. Pull up its event history and pull them into the office alone. The LT sounds like an asshat. Much like your comment. If they are a beat car, all they have to do is ride their beat and answer their call, fill out that report.. Rapid car, patrol their sector and answer their calls and fill out that report. Finally, go home to your family and collect that check on the 1st and 16th. There's Capt. Farrell on midnights in 002. Have the LT watch him as a boss and learn something, see the way he treats his officers."""

It's "you'rE" and "aN empty," retard. I am a friend of Capt. Farrell, and have dealt with Lt. Ernest many times. Grow up. You cash a paycheck kid, you should be doing some work for it. There was no "punishing the whole watch," only having an officer get his hat, as is required, and letting the cars know they can be re-assigned, as is his choice. Get over yourself, you're not a victim. I worked in 002 when the buildings were up, and you have no clue what work is. Just because it is in fashion to brag about being a dog doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. I earn the money I make, and care about the people who pay me. Get over yourself. Either be a man and try to change things for the better, or find a new job. No one owes you a thing.

OFF TOPIC: This just in! PO working the traffic car in 007 on 3rd watch 29 May 08 stops a citizen for doing 57 in a 35 mile an hour zone. PO had a hand held radar gun. Issues a citation to the driver and keeps her license. PO explains the offense and court date to the motorist, who never complained during the stop. At the conclusion of the traffic stop, the motorist asks PO for his name and star number. PO tells her and also shows her where that information is located on the ticket. She thanks PO and they both drive their seperate ways. This PO is the regular traffic car in 007. He and his partner are always being thanked in roll call by the watch commander for their activity. The watch commander has told the 3rd watch numerous times that the traffic car basically writes enough tickets and DUI for the entire watch, and that they should be grateful to have these guys working with them. Back to the speeding motorist. She calls 007th district commander Keith Calloway, the former Lt. Calloway of IAD before being promoted about 5 months ago. She is the secretary of the alderman and asks to have the ticket dismissed. Calloway tells her she can try and have the ticket dismissed in court. She then says the PO was rude, disrespectful, and never asked her if she had a bond card. She says her experience was not "police friendly". Calloway tells the third watch commander that she's beefing and to get a CR on the copper. Watch commander is hesitant to do so. Tells Calloway if she only brought this stuff up after he told her she had to go to traffic it sounds like bullshit. Why wasn't that the first thing she brought up? Calloway says he has dealt with her before and didn't think she was a police hater, so there must be something to her claim. Says he wants a CR on the copper. A sgt is called in and told to get a CR on the PO. The sgt goes to bat for the PO and tells Calloway the guy is a ticket and DUI machine. He deals with hundreds of motorists a period and nobody every beefs him. Sgt tells Calloway it does not sound like this PO at all. Calloway says he wants a CR and they get one on the copper.

A district commander goes against the recommendations of one of his watch commanders and a sergeant, and gets a CR on one of his own people. A PO that writes a ton of movers and DUIs for him every period. Why? Because the aldermen's secretary could not get her ticket dismissed immediately. Calloway is a worthless piece of shit because he has no honor. Not because he didn't back one of his hard working people, which is reason enough for me. He has no honor because he knew she was lying, and he threw a hard working PO under the bus. Fuck Calloway, Fuck Carson Ernest, and Fuck J-Fed who said he "wasn't going to sweat the small stuff".

This jagbag must be formed from the same mold as Lt. John Andrews from 011. A couple years back, while as the the Field Lt., he called for an assist car on a traffic stop w/4 heads. The beat car rolls up, properly secures all occupants and proceeds to check vehicle, name check and contact card all occupants. Upon sending the four productive Westside members of society on their way, the good Lt. immediately calls for the sector Sgt. to spar the officers for not having a beat tag on the car. True story. Not sure if the spar ever materialized, but the order by J.A. was initialized. He's since mellowed considerably, but is not to be trusted.

True story? I call bull shit on this one.

Once every blue moon I come on here for shits and giggles to read the headlines on the home page. I really don't get into reading the threads because I really don't have the time and most of it is bull shit anyway.

Every now and then someone emails me to "check this out" on the blog. Some is humorous, some is sad, some is bull shit.

I really enjoyed the satire post a few years back about me declaring 011 a "no laughing zone." I printed that one out, blew it up and hanged it in the office for a while.

As for the above posters comments... on an alleged incident from a "couple of years ago" hmmm... let's see...

Fillmore field lieutenant making street stops... yep sounds like me.

Prompt response by Fillmore Rangers on the assist... Is there any doubt?

Lieutenant observes four cars w/o beat tags... I believe that was possible.

(I vaguely recall a few years back a problem with missing beat tags on a number of cars. There was a rumor floating around that Area Four Detective Division was allegedly looking for a subject of interest in connection with this, allegedly described only as a little leprechaun, allegedly observed by some alleged witnesses, allegedly removing beat tags from cars in the parking lot. Urban legend continued with additional alleged sightings of this little leprechaun in the locker rooms at off hours, allegedly removing name tags from police uniforms. I don't think they ever located the little fellow. Eventually, as most problems do, it faded away.)

Lieuteant calls sergeant to address the issue... I am sure that probably happened too.

Lieutenant orders SPARs for the four cars without beat tags... ummm... that didn't happen.

Officers SPAR'd... that didn't happen either.

Lietenant has since mellowed considerably... Really? (grin)

I guess on this job there are people you like, some you don't like. There are people you trust and people you don't. No need to take it personally, such is life.

I don't mind the shots... it goes with the turf. I think it's good humor to sit back laugh at yourself every now and then. It reminds you not to take life so seriously all the time.

Anyway...

These are tough times we are working in, no doubt about that. There has been a lot of damage done and it will take time to repair and restore the trust of both the public and our own members. I can certainly understand and appreciate the frustration and uncertainty that we face in the current environment.

Keep your heads up and be proud. We serve honorably for an honorable cause. Always believe that and don't ever forget.

Work safe and try to have some fun out there.

JRA

I can tell you all the people who are talking about carson on this site im sure are the dog asses on the watch. carson loves workers and wont hurt you if your a worker. most of the dogs on the watch carson has a problem with. ive never had a problem with him and i like it when he is the wc and when he is on the street. Im sure even though there are many comments on this site, but carson... i think your a good boss and dont sweat what these dog asses are sayin about you. you are respected on the watch and the workers all get along with you and appreciate the wisdom and advice you give when it comes to making the arrest or situation right.

Sure there is.

After all, 008 is just overflowing with honest, law-abiding citizens who never, ever do anything that the law says they mustn't and always do everything that the law says they must.

You're surely not suggesting that any of these honest, upstanding citizens should be fraudulently charged with violating the law, are you?

How come on afternoons, the busiest shift you call back there and they take him right away, but on mids at frikin 1am they make you wait 40min-2hrs. UNFUKIN REAL! They should be taking care of their own district guys


********************

couldnt agree with you more. those guys on mids in 008 lockup are the laziest and slowest people i have ever seen. CIVILIAN Joe H your not the police even though you run around and tell everyone you are in the neighborhood. you guys get a call from a p.o. and sit and stare at the computer and watch your t.v. god forbid if there is another prisoner in there or you just ordered food. the lock up guys on 2nd watch and 3rd watch are REAL lock-up keepers. they will take your guy, seach him and throw him in a holding cell and let you go back on the street. Let go of you ego joe.. your not cool and nobody likes you. and your little pals who claim to be police officers are no better... they pretend to be the big bosses of the lock up world. get a life guys and start doing your job right.

That's what's being done, by not doing ANYTHING unlawful during the performance of enforcing the law.

Since you seem not to be completely retarded, you know that you have no case, no reasonable, rational or honest argument to make in encouraging unlawful behaviors merely to 'produce activity', ie., revenue.

Are you at least honest enough to admit your dishonesty?

He's an asshole, but he's totally within his rank as WC to put people on cars and take them off. He can make you stand at attention for inspection and make you get your hat.

If you don't want to do what he tells you, don't. You won't get fired, but you'll suffer some consequences.

All this crying to SCC because some WC is a jerk.

God, this department has really become a bunch of pussies.

TO: New captain 012th dist. 3rd watch is calling P/O's in to his office for low activity. Last week robbery car was chasing an armed robbery offender down 290 then s/b on Lake Shore Dr. The captain lets it go for a little while then calls off the chase. This guys asking us to put our asses on the line making arrests but isn't going to risk his six figure spot for an armed robber. Typical!

Calloway is a worthless piece of shit because he has no honor. Not because he didn't back one of his hard working people, which is reason enough for me. He has no honor because he knew she was lying, and he threw a hard working PO under the bus. Fuck Calloway, Fuck Carson Ernest, and Fuck J-Fed who said he "wasn't going to sweat the small stuff".

Sgt. O'Neil in 021 was not made by Doty. He has been here for about two yrs. Merit though. "Box of rocks" is insulting to the rocks. Loves getting C.R.s on P.O.s and other Sgts. for finding dope in the back seats of cars. Has no speaking skills nor people skills. The decent guys on his team are miserable and many have left. Apparently had the 63rd St. foot post in 007 and was stabbed by a shoplifter. That's how he got the stripes.

We're obligated to explain idiocy? Wow. We'll get right on that. We didn't realize we had to read minds, divine intentions and correct misperceptions.

This must be some nefarious plot by J-Fed and the mayor to slow down the pace of our postings. Like we've got time for that.

We screen for key words mostly and the list is extensive. We don't correct grammar, spelling, style or other such nonsense. We leave that to the English majors who come here daily.

We also remind people that 25% of our traffic comes from outside Chicago. And the local traffic isn't always cops.

And while having a stand up roll call on a holiday isn't against General Orders, it is against tradition. The captains like an easy day as well as the next officers.
