Rumors Everywhere
Might as well start the week with a couple:
- Fully two-thirds of the tactical lieutenants across the city will be shuffled, replaced, moved, or whatever the current euphemism is for "dumped."
Not surprising. As it was, commanders were moving their administrative staffs around since the shake up, sergeants right afterwards. Lieutenants were next on the block.
This one has some big rumblings behind it though:
This one has some big rumblings behind it though:
- Someone has to fall on their sword during August. Someone high up.
The Taste debacle and the continuing downward spiral of numbers coming out of Patrol are leading to the inescapable conclusion that this Department is damaged, perhaps beyond repair. This past weekend's homicide and shooting numbers continue to spotlight the failed leadership of Team J-Fed. Our guess? Cuello is on borrowed time. Patrol's failures are her failures; her nonsensical ramblings and lack of answers at the J-Fed hearings spoke volumes; her recent threats against certain spots not being "birthrights" shows a complete disconnect. She's in over her head and her managerial style (as if piloting the Titanic into an iceberg can be classified as "style") leave much to be desired.
Look for the deck chairs to be rearranged shortly. The only question we have is will she be dumped or promoted out of the way?

My guess: SCC as Chief of Patrol!
But, surely they've all secured their jobs with the highly successful, uneventful passing of Venetian night?
Or not.
keep lt M.R. of 004. someone who is actually doing his job.
Say Cooter today. He says HEY.
I heard Jfed was going to be promoted to assistant mayor and the first person to find a golden key in an interdepartment envelope to be promoted to Supt....first person to get to the 5th floor of 35th gets to be head of w.e unit he or she wants.Thats what i hear.
Also the first ever potato sack races with the Supt. have been cancelled until further notice.
SRT
Is LT.L K safe? He alright.
The tactical Lt's being dumped is definitely being talked about by several bosses. As stated before this will be the true calling card of who's who???
Lets start dumping some of these worthless captains. Who gives a shit if you get dumped as a tack lieutenant the pay is still the same. They should make the tactical lieutenants position a captain that way a dump is actually punishment.
So lets see, I am a tact lt. who has to work every watch as a fill in watch commander, my hours get changed daily, i get shipped out to details all over the city, and i have tact guys who are even treated worse. So you want to dump me? Dam i am upset, oh i'll lose my car, well that does suck. I'll go back to the watch, stay on my watch, not have to harass the p/o's for activity, and go home on time. So bring it on and good luck getting more sheep to take my place.
Bea be goin' down. Is there a chance she could become 1590? I hopee so. Puddin' Pop, here she comes!
O.T. I just purchased a new laptop computer in indiana and I saved over $20 in the taxes alone. I then filled my tank for $3.87/gal for gas. If you are going purchase an item that costs a few hundred dollars or more spend the time to purchase it on-line or out of crook county... better yet, out of state.
Here's a 'rumor' that's also a fact:
Starting on 09 AUG 08 I will be taking a couple Medical days (flu like symptoms) and suggest that everyone else do likewise
DUMP HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey don't be hatin on aunt be-- the underlying message is that the patrol division has stopped working and it has nothing to do with who the current boss is.
Hey keedz! It’s your old friend, dee Frito Bandito, also known as Senor Gordo, dee Locker Nazi, and, of course, my real name, Captain Juan Morado!
Let me say this....since I rode dee coattails of my friend Sal over to 025 I reely, reely miss screwing over my former underlings at 014. Yes, it’s true....I miss it, but here now at LAPA West I have all new underlings to tread upon, so pleeeze....don’t feel too bad for your old Bandito! My only regret is that I did not take advantage of Lazo’s lunch buffet as often as I could have before leeeving 014....it’s dee only place that buttered my chorizo.
Let me tell you though, my friends....as much as I wanted to come in and just wipe my greasy ass with dee officers....AND supervisors....Ay! Hee! Hee!....of 025, I can tell you dat dee demoralizing effect I had hoped for has not come to pass. No, my friends, dee dark legends of 025 that have always seemed unbelievable....ancient Indian burial grounds....grown men howling like wolves in dee stairwells....shower shitters....cat food hors d’oeuvre....The Gallows....Sir Donkey....it’s all true! I did not think it possible, but my friends, believe me when I tell you this does not even scratch dee surface! Ay! I tried to stick with what I know works best....waddling around dee station giving everyone my best arrogant scowl....but nothing! It just does nothing to theese bunch of eediots! It’s like I’m walking around on goddamn zombie island or something! I’ve grown accustomed to it now, my friends, but I’m not ashamed to admit when I first recognized dat my trusty arrogant scowl was not working its usual voodoo I broke a cold sweat on my scalp that had a river of Moco de Gorila running down dee rolls of my neck!
Let me get right to dee point, my friends....I will admit it seems my friend Sal and I bit off more than we can chew here in 025, but when promises are made and your buddy is dee brother-in-law of dee governor you gotta figure everytheeng’s going to work out in your favor, right? I meeen, am I right? It’s true dat my friend Sal is a bumbling eediot, but he surrounds heemself with lesser eediots, so no one should be aware that he heemself is an eediot, right? How was I to know? I meeen reely....what good is clout eef it can’t protect you from yourself!?!
And now dee real point, my friends....between the district eediots, alderman eediots, headquarter eediots, and my own eediot self for hitching my wagon to my eediot friend, it seems dee writing may soon be on dee wall....my dreams of “commanding”....(that’s another word I use for “screwing”....Ay! Hee! Hee!)....025 may be finished. Ay, it’s made all the more cruel now that I’ve had a taste of it these past weeks. Holy frijoles!! Whadda kick in dee huevos!
Yes, my friends, it will be reely embarrassing for me to be spanked back to W/C, but in the misery of whatever days remain before I cash in my cheeps and retire I will at leeest have some joy squeezed out of knowing I’ll be able to vent my scowling frustration on a few more blue shirts....and I deedn’t forget you supervisors eeether!....before I skulk off into dee sunset. I only wish it wasn’t wasted on these goddamn 025 zombies! They reely creep me out!
why can't they see we need a "Leader"?
"the underlying message is that the patrol division has stopped working and it has nothing to do with who the current boss is.

Uh, not exactly nothing.....
We can only hope that "MERIT" Aunt Bea gets her big fat ass thrown under the bus . She so deserves it.
I'd say make her a Field Lt. in the deuce . Let her know what it's like to be shit on.
I worked Venetian night, just like I worked the July 3rd fiasco. So we get our spots, but noticeably there were less p/o's present for duty. We also get these words from Commander Ryan: If they are wearing colors or flashing signs, the whole crew gets housed and we will process them at our leisure. Think they learned anything from the 3rd???? Ryan is a great dude. He also knows how to do his job without treating people like they are 5. Know why there weren't any problems on Venetian night? Because the animal wasn't out. All families and actual adults. But you can bet your ass that car 47 (who may be the biggest jackass alive) along with J-fed and every other puckered gold star will be patting themselves on the back for it. Bottom line: No M/1's wearing white t-shirt and shorts...no problems.
MORE SCAPE GOATS.THIS DEPARTMENT IS AN EMBARASSMENT.A JOKE.MAKE ALL THE CHANGES YOU WANT NEAR THE TOP(FUCKING MUSICAL CHAIRS). NOTHING WILL CHANGE.IT'S THE FUCKING MORONS AT THE VERY TOP THAT IS THE PROBLEM(mayor, alderfarts,SUPE)....WHEN WILL THE HONEST HARDWORKING TAXPAYING CITIZENS OF THIS CITY WAKE UP AND SEE THAT.

i agree--i feel sorry for any p/o, sgt, lt, etc who has to work bud billiken day. everyone knows that this one will be the worst..the shitheads know that they have free reign at this event. for those young tact guys who've never worked it before---HAVE FUN---but be safe. let em do whatever they want just as long as it;s not to another p/o. its their neighborhood --so fuck it--dont get yourselves hurt or in trouble.
I've heard from a very reliable source that,ALL PATROL PERSONNEL will be required to shave off their eyebrows and replace them with penciled in, VERY angry ones.It worked for Uncle Leo.
Seiser is the question and the answer...nuffin' more need be said!
Lt changes coming on Wed. Meeting at 35 with all tact lt and sgt that are being changed.
Change all the bosses you want. I refuse to do any voluntary police work till I get a contract. Answer calls and that's all. F*ck with me and I'll hit the Medical Roll for stress related illness. The bosses and politicians crushed any thoughts I had of any police work especially after Cozzi got hosed. Let the dope dealing dogs take over the City and try to collect taxes from them.
If they were smart, they'd promote some hot chick to lead us all around like lost puppy dogs. Bea is not so nice on the eyes, ya know?
She kinda reminds me of momma from George Lopez show, no?
What happened to Nick Roti? I saw him on the news last night. He use to be a fine strapping fellow (original hair-gel) lad. He's showing signs of stress and aging. Beauty is fleeting.
She's #4 in rank, technically should be #3 but Peterfuck begged for that honor. No WAY investigations can legitimately claim #3 ahead of the entire patrol division, but, thats what eating FBI shit straight from Chicago agent's asses for years and saying thank you shithead can I have more will get you. Unless they get rid of Dickhead or the Brown Avenger there's nowhere to promote her to on the CPD.
Is she old enough to retire and get a political job outside the CPD 'cause she ain't got nowhere left to go here.
CPD is under the leadership of J-Fed and his prime advisors are Peterson aka "Screaming Skull", Monique Bond and Masters.
No wonder we are sinking fast!
P.S. Still waiting to see Bond in a uniform!
Chalkie hit 025 this morning around 05:45 at wrightwood and kildare. possible double homicide. don't go trying to save the day looking for the offenders 025. there is a gang war going on there, let them figure it out themselves.
We HAVE a Leader, Shortshanks, the Anointed One.
My team was almost dumped this last week because they said there were low numbers. Supposedly we were to be replaced, by who, I do not know, and I do not care. I can make "days" easily. They said that they were going to dump all the people with the lowest numbers on each team. Listen up!! We don't care... dump us!! The days of getting the heads are over!! Signed complaints or legitimate on-view arrests, other than that you can forget it boss...I will do my job, but I will not bump up your numbers and risk my house, job and dignity for you.
The sandbagging that went on for decades is a thing of the past, it is time for this department to re-evaluate itself and get competent people and policies in place to help street coppers do their job.

Hey keedz! It’s your old friend, dee Frito Bandito, also known as Senor Gordo, dee Locker Nazi, and, of course, my real name, Captain Juan Morado!
-----------------------------------
OMG i was laughing so hard reading this post.... Dear old Juan Morado's original "pet name" was "FAT BASTARD" ...... Or FB for short... That was coined by me back in the days where he came in and ruined the "Housing West Unit". Good luck to the girls and boys in 025... Your going to need it with Fat Bastard on the loose.
Before i slip out i want to give ONE more "one fingered" salute to you FAT BASTARD.
Someone let me know when Fat Bastard retires. I will be celebrating that night!!
I don't think I will be feeling very well 09 Aug. either. Will have to hit the the medical.
Is there a chance she could become 1590? I hopee so. Puddin' Pop, here she comes!
we already have a spazz for 1590 3rd watch we don't need another one.
AND WHERE MY PUDDIN POPS?!
AUNT BEA IS AN IDIOT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. MAKE SEISER CHIEF OF PATROL, BUT HURRY RUMORS ARE THAT THE NAPERVILLE P.D. WANTS HIM BAD. YES EVEN IN NAPERVILLE SEISER CAN RUN IT.
WOW AND I THOUGHT THE CAMERA ON TOP OF THE WAGON WAS A GREAT IDEA HA HA HA.
YEA SHE IS WAY OVER HER HEAD SHE DOESNT HAVE DE BALLS TO MOVE CLOUT PEOPLE FROM THOSE SILLY WIDE CITY UNITS.
MAYBE SHE COULD BE THE HEAD OF THE PARK DISTRICT SECURITY AT THE SAME PAY.... U THINK IT CANT HAPPEN HUH DONT FORGET SHE ALREADY HAD A LOVELY GIG AT THE CTA.
SO WHO WOULD J-FED PUT IN THEN.
HALF THOSE GOLDSTARS CANT MANAGE THEIR OWN MARRIAGES AND J-FED (DIVORCED MULTIPLE TIMES) PUT BEA(DIVORCED MULTIPLE TIME) IN CHARGE.
CAURUTHER BROTHER IS WHO I WOULD PUT IN. B CUZ HE CANT FIX IT EITHER THEN J-FED COULD GIVE HIM THE BOOT!!! NO CONTRACT NO TICKETS

But thats "Bud" day why oh why would I go on the medical and miss total chaos in Bronzeville missing young peoples,shootings in Washington Pk.(site of the future olympic games)fights,rapes,robberies and some kick-ass bar-b-q's?
HA! This is great. The managers this department has put white shirts and gold stars on are pissing themselves wondering if it's going to be them. The next time try finding a few LEADERS and consider throwing a decent contract our way. Oh well, have to go it's way too tough cliping my toe nails in this squad while blogging on my laptop. Plus one is going to get loged in my keyboard...these things are flying everywhere.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU WILL REALLY MISS IT. ENJOY THE WATCH LOL
Hey B, go get me an OLD STYLE you were pretty good at that.
You can say what you want about the credibility of anonymous posts about bosses, but when you consider how the majority of department supervisors never, ever get a negative mention here you get a better understanding of how at least some measure of credibility can be established for comments about those who do. That’s either because most supervisors are good, fair, or a combination of both and don’t merit being called out, or the goofs that really stand out head and shoulders above the crowd make for exceptionally easy targets.
For anyone with first-hand experience dealing with Avila and Morado – these two easy targets have had it coming to them for a long time now for many reasons. It can’t happen a moment too soon and will be a huge morale lift for 014 & 025 when the big storm of bad karma they’ve built up over the years rains down on them and their entourage.
We need Bobby Lopez or Dugan in charge!
No leadership. A respected leader would turn this around with backing by Daley that we would not be fucked with, therfore this will never occur, let the homicides roll
I highly doubt a new tact lt. is gonna make us do any work in the 019 dist. We have been doing nothing for about 10 years now. Heck even the young tact team doesn't do anything and they have about 4 years on the job total! The funny thing is the gang team is even worse! They had a sgt who wanted them to work and they got him dumped! Believe me nothing is gonna change in 019. It is great! We average about 3 heads a period. Last week they sat down and talked to us about activity and it was a joke. Everyone laughed afterwards.
SCC, please have the readers list the best bosses to work for. Many of us want to transfer to other districts but dont know where the best Cmdrs, Capts, Lts, Sgts are. Readers, please provide some answers.
Retirement offers so many pleasures, not the least of which is kicking back and watching Emperor Daley and his puppet Weis assemble their management "dream team" based on "merit".
Even to the grave, I will always remain passionately proud of serving as "Chicago's Finest". It was my calling in life. Hunting down low-life muthafuckers who preyed on decent folks was the most fun I could have with my clothes on.
While I'm trying my damnedest to repress schadenfreude, I now realize that if meaningful reforms are ever to occur in "Clout City", it will require an exorcism of hizzonor da mare and the Democratic Machine.
My only advice to talented young officers is to look for career options elsewhere. Our "Titanic" will forver rest on the bottom of the North Atlantic. CPD = FUBAR.
Better to laugh than cry over a catastrophe in which you have absolutely no control.
Stay safe, back each other up and may God bless you guys.
How much did C.P.D charge for the officers to buy back their old stars? Cook County wants $98 for Deputies to buy back their old stars encased in lucite. Is that too much, or would it be worth it regardless of cost? Ray O' Herron's will be in charge of the star encasings.
...and the band plays on.
i laid my sword down a long time ago.

Yeah, drive 20 to 25 miles, waste gas, and waste my time to save a grand total of $20? I don't think so. I am not a big fan of the recent sales tax increase, but it is not feasible to travel into another county to buy a big ticket item, unless you just happen to be traveling there on your way.

Hey - Why don't they run a raffle.
First place = choice of spot for a month. Can't do any worse. Look at it this way, you win and decide that you want to be the DC of your district for a month.
Smite a few working Sgts for sport.
Make your old academy mate your driver, your buddies sex toy becomes the district secretary and that cabana boy or girl you've lusted after for a while... I'm sure you will take the proper steps.
Oh wait, that would be just like things work right now.
Off with their heads,please have all these so called preachers from the west side come and say a pray for all these lost souls who are soon to lose their spot, can we say Amen. This is your payback for all the work you have done in the past.Anybody have a life preserver this ship is sinking faster than the Titanic
after dumping the Lt and Sgt, whats next?
when are the commanders and above going to be held accountable.
Is it too much to ask for some leadership by example.... ?
12:58 AM
Wow. You just described a perfect video game. Quick, copyright it before someone else does.
This is not the answer. All Tact Lieutenants with the exception of Ike Carother's brother Lt. Anthony Carothers in the 2nd District are the best we are going to get as far as street knowledge and experience. Isn't Ike going to jail soon. The FEDS have him just like they did Troutman. They waited 3 years until right before the election to bring the information forward. Anyway, he is the only worthless Tact Lt. He has NEVER been on Tact and came from inside job to the next inside job. His even more stupid Comamnder of the 2nd District has no sense of management. She only requested him to protect her own sorry ass because she knew she would be dumped within a month! She is another one of Dana's girl. Yuck! She kissed the ring.
Everyone will get a chance this way to be tact Lt. they will run out of Lts real fast at this pace
Bosses are getting a little testy. Making a bad situation worse. Yelling and BS threats, Breaking up partners and denying time due will not get you activity. The city doesnt giva damn about the beat ofc. and now patrol doesnt give a damn about the city.
who cares? Like they arent going to replace these dumbfucks with more dumbfucks? When eas the last time anyone above the rank off LT on this job was worth a fuck? Be real, nothing is changing and nothing ever will
the only way the bosses will get people to work is by putting PPOs on tact teams and maybe guys with less than 5 yrs. Does it still take about 5yrs for people to realize that this is all a joke and complete BS and not worth losing your family and house for? i think it took me about 5 yrs then i said fuck it, this sucks. But approaching yr 9 I say 11 more and adios
who in their right mind wants to be a tact Lt or even tact anymore for that matter? i can wear jeans and tshirt when im off duty, and Im ok with that. the tact teams and bosses are being told u HAVE TO go out and make arrests and do shit. they are the only ones that can be required to do this as they have a spot in which they can be dumped. go to a watch, work your 8 hrs and they cant make u do DICK
all of these shootings have occurred during "special events." If only there was a piece of shit boss in charge of these "special events" that could be dumped. oh well...
Please dump Lt M.B. from 012 to 009. She's hot!
who is taking over at 025????? Anyone????
cooter is going back to sos.goodby first dist
WTF does the tact LT have to do with all these homicides? Is that supposed to be the answer? People are worried and rightfully so. This new regime has shown time and time again that they do not care and each and every one of us is replacable. I need my paycheck for the support of my family. I will not do anything to let them down and that obviously includes me going the extra mile.
Go out and sweep or round-up! I've heard the boss say these words way to often in the last few months and it definitely aint happenin'. I used to like coming to work and locking people up. This department has taken that away from me. Will I ever get it back...doubtfully, but it is possible.
I know you clowns running this dept read this blog. You get in that car with just one other person and do some police work. Real police work and see what it takes...that is if you ever knew how. Oh, you process the arrest yourself(see how long that takes when you have a jack-ass WC that wants a whole lifes history in the narrative of the arrest report and not just the PROBABLE CAUSE which is ALL YOU ARE RESONSIBLE FOR SCHWEIGEL or whatever your name is...and change your pants you useless prick). Don't forget to go to court...oh no...no lunch for you either. Backlog baby. On to your next 20 jobs and where the heck is your mover and curfews?
We need more police. That will help some.
Most importantly we need a real leader. J-Fed, I watched you on 103rd and Lowe and when it was your turn to talk to the supposed largest police dept in the nation, you got quiet and stepped back a few steps. That really shows how afraid you are of us. I will never have any respect for that. I was proud of being a Chicago Police Officer and you should be too. You should have grabbed that bullhorn (go ahead it's ok) took a step or two forward and gave your $.02. Tell them we are the Police and this IS how it will be if you break the law AND disrespect us.
Yes, now they do that more often than I've evr seen. These people talk to us however they want. That can't be and YOU need to remedy that.
J-fed...either change or quit...I can't handle the rest of my career watching you as Dick the Prick Daleys hand puppet fumble and fuck this dept. up.
Watch this and see how it makes you feel...I know how it MADE me feel...

What does a Field Lt.,Tact Lt., CAPS Lt.,Gangs Lt.,Detective Division Lt. or Specialized unit Lt. actually do?
Another level of management that is a waste of money& manpower. They need to eliminate those worthless positions permanently.

oh really is that why when lt. G.D. was there 4 tact was #2 in the city and look at the numbers now. it went to shit when he got there, not when j-fed did.
Where is "Senora Sherlock" when we so desperately need her "leadership"?
Whether it is Aunt Bea, Weis, Peterson or any other brain surgeon at 35th St. no one is going to prevent murders. They could prevent some burglaries, robberies, thefts. But they would need agressive polivemen for that who know how to arrest a felon. A lot of these uncle daddy boys and girls could't find their ass with both hands.
They could do as the Rodriguez, Cline and some other administrations have done, don't write they up as homicides. Let them stay as Agg. Batts. and no one knows the diff.
Cooter is/was a slug. When he was SOS...he was all talk and no action. Fuck Cooter.
-former 153
This police department is such a disaster that it makes me cringe! The scary part is we are still falling and there is no bottom in sight! Horrible leadership from the top down accompanied by no trust or confidence equals a BIG MESS!
Our salaries are dwindling with the sky rocketing cost of living increases and once again no contract. The politicians have no worries because they just vote themselves heafty raises. The city shits on us every time our contract expires and insults us with their offers. If they think morale and the "work slowdown" is bad now just wait till the city screws us on our next contract. They will finally crush morale and the lack of police work will dwarf what they are experiencing now! Even the young guys will wake up. Get ready this contract will be the worst one yet. They keep expanding our mission and responsibilites, but don't give us the support or equipment. They keep saying "do more with less" and that also means with less money! Did they ever hear the phrase, "pay the police like your life depends on it!" Be safe brothers and don't let the bosses sacrafice you for their numbers game!
Frito Bandito's post must go into the SCC Hall of Fame. Sadly it is all true, all those arrogant pricks from 014 and 017 that came over to follow your leader must be saying " i'm not in kansas anymore" welcome to hell.
Hey Sal, Beware the Ides of Rivera !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forget the rumors. J-Fraud already tried to dump the First Dep. and was told by Daley, No way. (Apparently the revs. wouldn't like it)
Daley told Cline the same thing when he tried to dump the last idiot 1st dep.
Also J-Fraud isn't going anywhere. Our bumbling moronic mayor would have to admit thast he made a mistake in hiring this neanderthal, and Daley has never admitted making a mistake.
Hey Northside,
Is that your mugshot from the bogus gun pinch by IAD?
RUMOR RUMORS NOW I HEAR THAT NAPERVILLE POLICE CHIEF DIAL IS RETIRING AND MAYOR PRADEL OF NAPERVILLE WANTS SEISER, THAT RIGHT SEISER WILL RUN IT IN NAPERVILLE. YOU OFFICERS IN NAPERVILLE WILL FINALLY GET A REAL POLICE OFFICER TO RUN THINGS, ALSO PREPARE FOR ALLOT OF OVERTIME. NAPERVILLE POLICE CHIEF SEISER, WILL RUN IT.

Patience.
It takes awhile for the masses to clean the shit from their eyeballs, after having their heads up their asses for decades.
It's coming, though, and when their vision clears, the shock of what they'll see will be like the proverbial bitch slap.
And nobody, not even the pussyfied citizens of this city and county, will be immune to getting pissed off at the sting of it.

Hey Lt. Mike Ryan - 022 - Cmdr Ryan's younger cousin, quit praising the laurels of your useless cousin. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see your writing style.

Regarding Frito Bandito post: too f*cking funny, spilled my margarita!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem is not only we are so short-handed with personnel and reliable equipment, we are VERY short-handed with experienced, reliable and hands-on supervisors. Too many don't know how to supervise and manage people. Too many merit flunkies who have absolutely no street experience, clueless and are afraid to make a decision. And of course city hall, corp coucil who pays out any felon and the felon's family who complains bitches and cries about the police, and all of the above aforementioned at 35th running the show who are not backing up police officers so that they can do their job.
I highly doubt a new tact lt. is gonna make us do any work in the 019 dist. We have been doing nothing for about 10 years now. Heck even the young tact team doesn't do anything and they have about 4 years on the job total! The funny thing is the gang team is even worse! They had a sgt who wanted them to work and they got him dumped! Believe me nothing is gonna change in 019. It is great! We average about 3 heads a period.

There is no way that the Great 1962 team being led by the even greater Armando Galan is averaging a mere 3 arrest per month. I know the have to lead the city in dispersals and contact cards....
Who in the hell is "Cooter"?
If they are wearing colors or flashing signs, the whole crew gets housed and we will process them at our leisure. Think they learned anything from the 3rd????
**Does he know that you cannot lock someone up for the type/color of their clothing? Flashing signs, yes, but wouldn't that be reckless conduct/disorderly? I wouldn't be signing the complaint that's for sure.
Change all the bosses you want. I refuse to do any voluntary police work till I get a contract.
**I refuse to do pro-active police work with or without a contract.
I will do my job, but I will not bump up your numbers and risk my house, job ---
**Smart decision!
If they touch Lt M. R. on 004 Tact and keep Capt Globicki on 2W alone this dept is f#@cked up more than I thought. MR is only listening to the commander when his tact teams have to stay in certain areas instead to going everywhere.

My team was almost dumped this last week because they said there were low numbers. Supposedly we were to be replaced, by who, I do not know, and I do not care. I can make "days" easily. They said that they were going to dump all the people with the lowest numbers on each team. Listen up!! We don't care... dump us!! The days of getting the heads are over!! Signed complaints or legitimate on-view arrests, other than that you can forget it boss...I will do my job, but I will not bump up your numbers and risk my house, job and dignity for you.
The sandbagging that went on for decades is a thing of the past, it is time for this department to re-evaluate itself and get competent people and policies in place to help street coppers do their job.

We had the same talk in 019 it went in one ear and out the other. Check my stats i have 10 arrests on the year. And I am on the tact team.

who in their right mind wants to be a tact Lt or even tact anymore for that matter? i can wear jeans and tshirt when im off duty, and Im ok with that. the tact teams and bosses are being told u HAVE TO go out and make arrests and do shit. they are the only ones that can be required to do this as they have a spot in which they can be dumped. go to a watch, work your 8 hrs and they cant make u do DICK
7/28/2008 01:31:00 PM
I work 019 tact and I dont do anything! why should I work the watch?
O.T. I just purchased a new laptop computer in indiana and I saved over $20 in the taxes alone. I then filled my tank for $3.87/gal for gas. If you are going purchase an item that costs a few hundred dollars or more spend the time to purchase it on-line or out of crook county... better yet, out of state.

daley just cryin wolf to screw po-licee out of a new contract..
How bad is the shopping out of crook county and Illinois ..getting you ask??
Walked by several parked cars in kenosha mall next to 94..saw several cars with chicago stickers and even 2 cars with expired city stickers..hey gas 3.83 in Wisconsin
hey don't be hatin on aunt be-- the underlying message is that the patrol division has stopped working and it has nothing to do with who the current boss is.

You've aged remarkably well, Detective Johnny Northside. Looks like you're still at the top of your game.
I've heard from a very reliable source that,ALL PATROL PERSONNEL will be required to shave off their eyebrows and replace them with penciled in, VERY angry ones.It worked for Uncle Leo.

Forget the rumors. J-Fraud already tried to dump the First Dep. and was told by Daley, No way. (Apparently the revs. wouldn't like it)
----------------------------------
From my experience Jackson is a good boss. Stood up for me and other guys on the watch.
Bosses are getting a little testy. Making a bad situation worse. Yelling and BS threats, Breaking up partners and denying time due will not get you activity. The city doesnt giva damn about the beat ofc. and now patrol doesnt give a damn about the city.
AMEN BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!
who is taking over at 025????? Anyone????
THE GD'S
SCC, please have the readers list the best bosses to work for. Many of us want to transfer to other districts but dont know where the best Cmdrs, Capts, Lts, Sgts are. Readers, please provide some answers.
7/28/2008 10:35:00 AM
I was thinking the same thing. I want to move but am not sure where.Good idea. Then again bosses come and go so its probably best to get somewhere I want to be and deal with whoever is there. Still I would like to hear what others think of as the best watches and districts to work.

She's #4 in rank, technically should be #3 but Peterfuck begged for that honor. No WAY investigations can legitimately claim #3 ahead of the entire patrol division, but, thats what eating FBI shit straight from Chicago agent's asses for years and saying thank you shithead can I have more will get you. Unless they get rid of Dickhead or the Brown Avenger there's nowhere to promote her to on the CPD.
Is she old enough to retire and get a political job outside the CPD 'cause she ain't got nowhere left to go here.
7/28/2008 08:18:00 AM
That's always been the chain of command. The Supe , then the 1st and then the Dep. Super. of Bureau of Invest. Services. Always been that way. Remember when Starks left and Weis appointed a temporary 1st Dep? Who was it? Hiram Grau, Dep. Sup. Bur. Inv. Serv. Chain of Command.
Dumping the Tact Lts. would save the department a lot of money. Ours seems to work a lot of overtime (bogus?) yet we seldom see the fine Lt. Audit should be done to see if this is a citywide trend.
Keeping your head down and covering your ass seems only sensible attitude until top command gets replaced....why take a chance for cloutheavy cmdr who has little/no street experience...
If police get mad enough to stick together and work 10-4cars, check cars for safety, answer radio, no tickets etc, even the malignant dwarf mayor may get the picture
Al least the titanic had a band.
FIELD LT? Im pissin my pants. 110,000$ a year for 4 hours a day. The ink in the pen that they get promoted with will never have to be changed. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Best job in the Dept.
Lt. Mo in 004 is a usless, never been the police much less a tact man, POS. Anyone with more than a day on the job can see that. Capt. Glombicki on the second watch has been a lazy do nothing drunk for the past 20 years. All of the sudden his two merit jumps and capt. bars have made him the police again? I think NOT!
Lt changes coming on Wed. Meeting at 35 with all tact lt and sgt that are being changed.
7/28/2008 07:59:00 AM
B.S!!! There's a meeting at 35th with Tat Lt's and Tact Sgt's. Nothing to do with being dumped, dumbass!
Change all the bosses you want. I refuse to do any voluntary police work till I get a contract. Answer calls and that's all. F*ck with me and I'll hit the Medical Roll for stress related illness. The bosses and politicians crushed any thoughts I had of any police work especially after Cozzi got hosed. Let the dope dealing dogs take over the City and try to collect taxes from them.
7/28/2008 08:08:00 AM

Might want to rethink that. You say the word 'stress' to Medical and you get a mandatory psych before you can come back to work. Pick your poison. Better to have the flu that day.
Congratulations, Northside.
You are the first dude ever processed in 011 lock-up wearing a necktie.
Homicide in 002 tonight. Guy died with a gun in his hand. A beautiful thing.
Command rank structure
1. Sup
2. 1st Dep (used to be over Bur of Operational Services, which included the Patrol Division - when Patrol was commanded by a Chief)
3. Bur of Investigative Services
4. Bur of Patrol (the original structure made sense, patrol over all else... then investigations... everything after that was a support enity of one sort or another)
Forget about who is where now... patrol should supercede investigations at the hog trough since they are now unteathered from the 1st Dep. But with everything else out of whack around CPD... what's the diff?
The Ram's idea... back in the day... was 3 bureaus... patrol... investigations... and then everyone else (support). They didn't like that idea... it would have cut a lot of fat from the top.
Who is Cooter? Simple, he is a top shelf ignorant hillbilly who was in SOS, he thought he was the best copper working, but all his B>S. got his whole team dumped, his partner Tony O was a great Cop but cooter got him dumped too, this goof couldn't take any direction and hates Dude, But when approached by a M/1 PO he will back peddle all the way back to Hegwich, BY the way Cooter IS NOT A GOOD COP, he is a DANGEROUS GOOF
Yes, my friends, it will be reely embarrassing for me to be spanked back to W/C, but in the misery of whatever days remain before I cash in my cheeps and retire I will at leeest have some joy squeezed out of knowing I’ll be able to vent my scowling frustration on a few more blue shirts....and I deedn’t forget you supervisors eeether!....before I skulk off into dee sunset. I only wish it wasn’t wasted on these goddamn 025 zombies! They reely creep me out!

Hey former 153, I like to meet face to face so i can kick you square in the meat purse. Cooter got a raw deal and has been fighting this fucked up dept for trying to brain wash him. He stood up against the bullshit BIS and won. Cooter is and always will be a hard worker.
From a good friend of Cooters.
Cooter, I gotcho' back.

to the idiot who said all the most knowledgable lt's are already in tact spots, minus carothers, you are a complete moron. that is the same as saying that the best officers are on tact and the rest are useless...
g. lewis is far from stupid, she understands the game and that most of the stuff that happens out there is all bullshit. ur probably one of the two morons she dumped to 1st watch.. remember the things that got u to first watch were of your own doing, so own up to your own stupidity ans stop blaming everyone else...

I have no inside information about this meeting but I would dare say that this is going to be the "pick it up and get a head a day or you will be launched" speech that several other units have already gotten. Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. Do not compromise your safety for any reason. A bullet doesn't care if you are dogging it or the hardest worker on the department. Death and injury are always lurking around a corner. Cops have been killed being aggressive and they have been killed while catching a snooze in the "hole". Be careful, watch those hands and use your head! Treat everyone you meet like they have a gun and they want to kill you. You don't need to be rude or abusive, just cautious and proffessional.
know the have to lead the city in dispersals and contact cards
i bet there all on the same 5 shitheads that live in 019. lugi, wolfee, bell brothers, and marcello and maybe betty.

Cooter is a great guy,and a good cooper.let him go in peace,he never hurt anyone but himself.He was on bis and part of the 662.Thats what a cooter is all about.

Bullshit. Cuellos aapointment is emblematic of all that is wrong with the Department, and for that matter, the country. An affirmative action hire in the first place that could not pass a sigle promotional examination afterward. I passed two. She owes her paycheck to her Irish clout and has no loyalty to anything else. She is an embarrassment to the uniform and if she had any decency would quietly step aside. Why would anyone of any rank do anything, risk everything, to see any chance of reward-their promtion-snatched away and given to incompetant hacks. Stop merit promtions.
To 7/28/2008 09:44:00 PM,
Both the funniest, and the saddest comment on the blog. Hey BTW whatever happened to the guy posting the "possum shooter" rant a couple years ago. We need him back here really soon!
Oh hell no.. don't come back to midnights! We already have eeediot female w/c who won't come to person shot..
Make up your mind, you complain when we micro manage, now we let you do your job and you bitch, make up your mind.
those of you hating on mike ryan from 022, obviously don't know him. if you meet him once or twice he is somewhat arrogant, but there is nothing he wouldn't do to help another p/o. He worked his entire career and expects p/o's to do their job. Yes there is a slow down, but you still have a contract that protects your rights or else you could get shipped from watch to watch, district to district at a whims notice with no monetary compensation. If this job is so bad, QUIT, good luck finding a job where you can make this money with not a lot expected out of you.
Yes our job is dangerous and we are extremely under appreciated, but the only ones you should need approval from are your peers, family and especially yourself.
I'm sure there are 100's or arguments and retorts to my rants, but this is still a great job, remember our goal is to be able to say, " I miss the clowns not the circus". You can take away furlough days, commit double jeopardy, put us under the bus, BUT I and I hope you will always back each other up.
Start with, Area 3 Gang Intelligence, what is that???? Hahahaha Does anyone ever see these people? A team to watch over A/3?
So lets see, I am a tact lt. who has to work every watch as a fill in watch commander, my hours get changed daily, i get shipped out to details all over the city, and i have tact guys who are even treated worse. So you want to dump me? Dam i am upset, oh i'll lose my car, well that does suck. I'll go back to the watch, stay on my watch, not have to harass the p/o's for activity, and go home on time. So bring it on and good luck getting more sheep to take my place.
7/28/2008 01:56:00 AM
Obviously its not that bad youre still there, enjoying.
Commander Ryan: If they are wearing colors or flashing signs, the whole crew gets housed and we will process them at our leisure. Think they learned anything from the 3rd???? Ryan is a great dude.
this makes him great. You need to be told this. you are an idiot!! You are 5
All you tact guys talk about ,it would be great if they dumped us, If its so bad why are you all still there? Oh yeah to do nothing, it is sooo nice.
Jfed, dont need tact and gangs in area 3 and 1st and 18th. Useless

**With a car wash
Lt. Mike ryan from 022 is a hell of a nice guy that you could go out and have a beer with. However, he never did one day of police work his entire career on this job. He worked in 021 on a watch - did nothing - went to tact for a very short time and did nothing. Made sergeant with about 4 yrs. on the job and then Lt. with about 8 yrs. he 's no dummy, he is very book smart. However, he has never been the street police. He will smoke a cigar and tell war stories all day long, but he's all talk. He's never walked the walk. He hid in headquarters for almost his entire time as a lt. and then left because he pouted that they did not make him a commander like they did his cousin. he came to 022 to be made Capt., but it never happen. When he was at headquarters, his youthful arrogance and smart ass remarks turned off a lot of bosses, that's why he never went any higher. Maybe now with Jody, he will have a chance. But your right, he is a great guy who will pull over and help you change a flat and the first to give money to a worthy cause. But he was never the police and the real working police can see through this phoniness with all his trumped up war stories.
If he kept his mouth shut and was not forever patting himself on the back, everyone would love him. He is very knowledgeable. I wish him no ill, but I don't need to listen to his bragging. 2nd Watch in 022 is full of old - timers, they know Ryan's all talk and they just shake their heads.
These old timers might not do much now, but they were all the real police in their day.... They can spot a phony.

Since when could yaks pass the power test?
Replace the Tact Lt's? Why? There would just be a new group of ghost payrollers! Just check the new Lt. in Austin! "Just put me on the A & A's! And if anybody ask, I just left!" And then, when he's there, there's no rapport with the troops, it's just close the door, I don't want to know these clowns!

You post is accurate but not completely correct, mike worked 2113 and spent all his time in the projects and never studied for sgt until he made an arrest. Yes 21 was not as busy as 007,11, etc. but i can guarantee he was a worker, I was on 2111 and saw it everyday. But to those who don't like listening to mike's stories, how about walking away and stop gripping.

It's tough to walk away from Lt. Ryan when he is a non stop braggart. Whether it's roll call, going into the office to have something signed or approved, it's all about Mike Ryan and his war stories. How the hell are you suppose to walk away at roll call when he is the watch commander and everything is I, I, I......
i would say you know him pretty well, i wouldn't be surprised if that was mike himself writing that post.. lol
Message to SGT. Joe Avila, You were up Lt. Balls Ass when we worked on his Watch, You are a LAPA
