Another Forced Retirement?

Chasen resigned today? Following a "discussion" with Masters or Peterson about the direction of certain bureaus of the Department?

And how many tact lieutenants have been dumped so far?

At least 20 of the 25 District Tact Lts will be changed by 1 Aug to stir up the pot. The only ones that wont change will follow the same path as the new commanders.

His little boyfriends at Area 3 will miss him, he kept them around because they are the only ones that knew less than he did.

Whether you liked Mike Chasen or not, the way they (J-Fed & Co.) told Mike to leave was inexcusable and reaffirmed that this administration is in serious trouble.

Good luck Mike and thanks for almost 40 years of service.

I suspect that Mike was made the fall guy seeing that he was the Deputy Chief of the Central Group. This was in response to the animals exhibiting their natural behavior at the Waste of Chicago on the 3rd. As we all know...Daley and/or J-Fed had to blame someone to avoid taking responsibility themselves.

What a no balls, no clue, no class administration!

Pretty soon it will all be recruits running the department. Hey why not fire everyone while you're at it Peterson.

Hey Screaming Skull I can't wait until the same shit happens to you, oh and in case you forgot you do have a son on the job who has a long way until retirement.

Maybe you can replace Chasen with Yamaha-shiroya, I am sure he will do fine due to his vast amount of experience.

Tonight is the 38th Anniversary of the assassinations of Sgt. Jim Severin and Tony Rizzato.

Shortly before that, while at Area 6 Homicide, I had met the CPD Scourge of Uptown, an outstanding copper named Mike Chasen.

Always a class act! Welcome to a whole new world, Mike! Start planning for the grand tour of Europe and a January vacation in Australia.

In the words of that great Negro Spiritual, "Free at last, free at last! Good Lord Almighty, free at last!"

Anyone catch Masters in his police uniform the two days ago. What a joke. Weis, Brust, Daley (wies groomsman) and Masters all walking around downtown with the highly starched and neatly pressed uniforms. Funny, not one of the have ever responsded to a domestic, wrote a parking ticket or humped a beat car for a few years. They must spend hours in the mirror each day looking at themselves thinkg they are actually Chicago Police officers. You all are a bunch of clowns in custome.

what's the new tact lt gonna say to change the risk level faced by aggressive patrolman ?
i once heard a sgt tell his men " don't worry, they're not going hurt the workers."
i thought, who are they gonna hurt.......the ladies at hq or the people in the caps ofc ? no, they are gonna hurt the guys on the street exposing themselves to risk.
our present "leadership" has too little time on the street, in fast districts, to effectivly guide this organization.

Listen folks, Weis thought he'd slide in here for a few years and then into the head of security for the Olympics. He'd rely on Peterson and whoever da mare told him to put wherever to actually run the place. Well, guess what - that ain't workin'.

So the collapse of the CPD is upon us. Just keep your head down and stay safe.

I never thought that I'd see the City Council as any hope for the CPD, but they should keep the pressure on J-Fed.

Yes, Mike Chasen could be a jagoff at times, but so can anyone of us. But one thing he NEVER EVER did was try to hurt a cop. Condescending, some times, Egotistical, some times, but the man is very knowledgeable when it comes to this job. I think many of you posting negative things about him probably fucked up a crime scene or two, or didn't do your job properly. Of all the people in upper command positions he was one of the few who actually knew what he was doing. His number one priority always was to protect the cops on the street and that IS the truth.

I hope Chasen is reading all this because he would be laughing his ass off. Chasen was a tough old school guy who could be abrasive but so what.........this is a big city police department, not an elite prep school for pampered kids. I had numerous dealings with him and underneath the crusty exterior he is a good guy who knew how to take care of coppers and take care of business. It stuns me that they get rid of someone with all his experience and knowledge at the present time with so many inexperienced exempts. Nothing surprises me with this department anymore.

I will be 1 of the many at his retirement party. Good luck Mike. I wish I was going with you.

The guy worked here for 39 years. You think anyone can work anywhere that long and not have people that like and dislike them. This is just another morale kick in the balls for the department. You put in that amount of time and that is how the department treats you. You come into work one day and a few hours later your carrying your shit out the door.

I dont care if you love or hate the guy, no one that has put that much time in deserves to go out like that. Not a patrolman, detective, sgt , lt or exempt. If they can show that much disrespect to a deputy chief with 39 years on the job, what do you think they will do to a beat guy/tac/gang guy?

There are right ways and wrong ways to end someones career. They could have done this with class and they decided not too. I guess since they didn't show any class with the oustings of the Deputy Sup's and Commanders a few months a go we should'nt expect any different here.

Chasen treated blueshirts like dogshit. When he was a Sergeant in Area 4 V/C back in the early 90's, a lot of the work that made him and his detectives look good was done by the beat coppers and tact officers in 011 and 010. Chasen rarely gave credit where credit was due. The dicks were appreciative and very cool, but Chasen was a complete stroke most of the time.

big difference between chasen and Byrne at crime scenes. chasen always was running around fucking things up, pointing to this pointing to that without even listening to coppers or det's that were onscene before he was because he thought he knew everything but he 75% of the time was dead wrong.
Now Byrne would come to a scene LISTEN to coppers and det's and let the DETECTIVES and others working the scene do there work.

I am a tactical lieutenant, and I know,as does anyone with a brain, that the "Team" will continue to function at the same level with or without me. It is the sergeants and police officers who do the hard, dirty work. My job, from the Department's perspective is mostly administrative, that is, to sign a bunch of papers and to implement, as much as practicable, edicts from HQ. From my own perspective, my most important job is, or that which is my 'value added' to the tactical team, is to make certain that the men and women are as safe as is posible, given the nature of our work, that they go home at least as well as they were when the got to work, that the officers understand what will get them into trouble and, if at all possible, help them out of trouble. Tactical lieutenants are fungible, change us monthly and for whatever reason. As for the effect on the lives of the real workers, "No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before".

Well maybe not 5 years yet( Close) I agree he is a clout Baby, I have known him and his family for years (35) his fathers was a friend a real nice guy some officers might remember him he was the building engineer. great guy yet also had a lot of clout , Yet his son Mike was a bad kid and I might add a coward as a patrolmen. Capt M.R. is thr worst on this dept.

I worked with him and he was a great copper and not hated by all, just dogs that he doesn't do anything for, if you work, you have no problems with him. If you think he is the worst, you obviously have never been anywhere else and experienced a real bad boss, White, Crump-Hales, Raymond, Scweiger, Phelan, to name a few.

MR from 19 is hated by all. he does have 20 years however as soon as he was done with his FTO he was in gangs. his grandfather was (Dan Ryan you know the expressway) Its doesn't surprise me he would do that as he always does the sheets just before his days off. A stone Prick was a nasty bully Sgt a Nasty bully Lt. I was in 14 when he was there we had a party when he left.
---------------------------------

Are you sure about the Dan Ryan connection?I heard cousin is an alderman. It is a known fact he has made every rank on clout.Had over 15 years on and was walking a post. Then merit starts in 1998 and soon he is a watch commander. I can't imagine why the JOB is so screwed up.The guy is a total stroke and always has been. You can see him drinking alone most every night

Here's your answer to, Love the posting about OV, the Tact lt up in 024, know's what he's doing???...

Looks like we have a superstar on or hands. Never made a mistake while on the job. Never had to call for a Sergeant or above. The shooting you comment on occured because some P.O. f#@*ed up (missed the targets while on surveillance.) OV had every angle covered the day of the shooting. But it just so happened that one of the surveillance officers had to use the rest room. But next time you comment on this, know the (true) facts first.

First of all Mike Chasen was Field group B. A/3/A/4 and A/5. not Field Group C.
2nd of all Chasen was a lot of things but the most important thing he was a policeman who took care of policemen. All the other stuff that you want to cry about does nt mean jack shit. Chasen was always looking out for the police. And if you think different you dont know what your talking about. Ask any P.O. that was ever involved in a shooting that Chasen was on the scene of.

Last scene I was on Mike Chasen was more worried about how the Detectives were dressed than the officer involved in the shooting!He actually cursed out the present chief of the D unit in front of all on scene.

From my own perspective, my most important job is, or that which is my 'value added' to the tactical team, is to make certain that the men and women are as safe as is posible, given the nature of our work, that they go home at least as well as they were when the got to work, that the officers understand what will get them into trouble and, if at all possible, help them out of trouble.

7/18/2008 11:42:00 AM

Value added, oh please!!!! Please tell me Loo, exactly how do YOU perform these profound and benevolent tasks of imparting with your wisdom and keeping your people safe, and out of trouble either pre or post-incident? It is kind of hard to do from your summer home, backyard pool, the tavern, your on-the-side lover's place, or up the DC's buttocks. When is the last time you rode with your people? And riding with the Sarge does not count. Do you even know their names?

You did get one thing right, when you said ".....and I know, as does anyone with a brain, that the "Team" will continue to function at the same level with or without me." It has probably been functioning all along without you, now go away idiot. You must be merit and truly believe you are capable and competent.

Hard to believe how many suck holes can fit thier lips on Chasen's ass. Chasen was an arrogant asshole who treated guys underneath him like shit. Apparently alot of people fell for his smoke and mirrors because as a working dick I know first hand of crime scenes he fucked up and coppers he fucked with on shootings. Ordering dumb ass buccal swabs and making officers blow. And by the way Mike where did you get the jewelry from?? Not those known felons you were hanging out with? I'm sure I told you the gypsies you call friends were known felons. At lease I can tell you to kiss my ass next I lock up a gypsy and you call trying to get them off.

Hey Mike, If you read this, I just want you to know you will be missed. I know people don't like you, hell A LOT of people don't like me. But I can say one thing that noone can dispute. If any copper is in a shooting, they would want you there! The New BOSS dropped the ball on this one. I know you were a short timer, I just hope you trained a few guys to do what you know how to do. Good luck on your retirement. Enjoy a nice cold one, and a good laugh on the city as you cash those pension checks !

Signed,

I work at 35th, and I heard him leave the message with the other boss's secretary. What an asshole.
He definitely won't be missed here.

He knows nothing about the street. The only people that talk nice about Oz are the 8 guys from nagis that he claims to have made merirtorious. If he's so smart why did he need a merotorious bump times 3???

I heard a lot about how arrogant Chasen was from a number of sources- including my own father, but to be honest I was pleasantly surprised. When I had something to say (several occasions) and knew what I was talking about he did something not many exempts will do....he actually listened. The comments about Tom Byrne are of course spot on as well... a great boss. I think the major difference is Tom Byrne comes off as laid back and puts people at ease, whereas Chasen puts people on edge a lot. Still as much as I think he was nuts for still being on the job with almost forty years on, my dealings with him were always positive...

Bump three times????? He's only a Lt. I see that as two times. Yes he does know wire taps but lets put the blame on him for not being able to utilize this skill in the district level. Makes no sense! And about not knowing the streets you are incredibly misinformed. I think the problem with all you OV haters is jealousy. He does the job very well and gets rewarded. If you ever work for him you would understand, unless you're a dog, then he'll get in your ass and that is why people bitch.

I've worked with him too and he's a "worker" if anybody loves and knows his job it's him.

Sounds like the same guy over and over again. Are you his stalker? You know so much about him. That jealousy must be keeping you up at night. Get over it dude! Your time will come and if you ever want to make it "meritoriously" you better learn how to spell the word first.

I've worked with these 8 one time or another nothing but great guys. Always respected me and didn't treat me any different especially being a female copper.
I have nothing but nice things to say about OV and I wasn't one of the 8. Would've been nice though.
