Bad News Everywhere
- Chicago continues to see a drastic spike in murders, mostly from gang-related shootings, through the end of July 2008, according to crime statistics released Monday by Chicago police.
- The department is also surveying its cops about whether they would like the department to change the look of their vehicles [...] The department provided the survey to the Fraternal Order of Police. The union posted it on its Web site, with other suggested designs. O’Keefe said there is no plan to change the look of the department’s fleet. He said they simply wanted to know what officers were thinking.
You want to know what we're thinking Ted? Ask us. Or read the blog.
And once again, a bar fight leads to felony charges:
And once again, a bar fight leads to felony charges:
- Upgraded felony charges were unveiled Monday for a Chicago Police officer charged in the severe beating of two patrons at a north suburban lounge in May.
On the bright side, CAPS is still dead.

"Bond for the upgraded charges was set at $5,000 on Monday by Cook County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Chambers. The judge ordered that Callahan surrender his firearms, avoid contact with the victims and witnesses and avoid drinking any "intoxicating alcohol," Conklin said."
I would bet my pension that if you made GC blow right now, he'd be in violation of the bond restrictions!
Someone really gave a shit about what we are thinking?
he was an idiot anyway
There was also a plan to put a liberal in the back of every squad that would constantly remind officers to be nice to the gangbangers and drug dealers. However, the plan had to be scraped when they couldn't find any liberals willing to go South of Belmont or West of Western Ave.
Fellas, leave the cars schemes(sp?) alone.
We do not have the shoes,the pants,hats,STAR(Mine was a family one) or the batons anymore. Do not get rid of our car colors.
Dont you see they are trying for a new image of the department? They are trying to distance us from the old school CPD.
Most of our old identity has been taken or is gone. Have some pride.
Less is more.
As I was once told by an old timer, "Snubbies with attitude kid."
Is this guy a student at the Abbate school of mix-martial arts?
"Paint Job" is J.F. out and back on the job?
Tahoes get 14 mpg. Thats when you're just cruising along. A jack rabbit start, such as responding to an in progress call would have to reduce that figure drastically. Not to mention the number of roll over type accidents these vehicles get into. So economically, and speaking from the standpoint of safety, its a pretty stupid idea. I'm guessing the additional 17 inches in height will make Jody feel taller.
Hey O'keefe, you loser, why don't you stick CAPS up your ass you bum!

Sun times has a article on page 8. Department will start a new evaluation program. A unk sgt is quoted, "people are not motivated". I wonder why? Evaluation system will increase morale? Cuello is quoted as saying arrests for minor crime are down but not for violent crime. She is absolutely clueless. Minor arrests lead to major arrests. Street stops are down. Officers are not aggressive and proactive which leads to less activity. And morale is fine. Cuello is beginning to sound like Monique. Of course, who wrote the article? Main and Spielman, the puppet act.
Was Callahan re-arrested at his home on Friday?? There was about 10 squad cars in front of his house Friday afternoon. Anyone in 016 with info??
callahan has been an idiot for years even against coppers he needs to get at least fired he has lots of clout but the boys time has finally run out he was always a tough guy moron! The cars who cares what they are painted as long as they run and shit works unlike all the junkers we are now driving that fleet cannot fix properly or at all! Now they will evaluate us great how about we evaluate all the bosses now that would be a reality concept! 5 more years then I am gone out of this corrupt city-state-county- and blago-daley and the 50 sheep-stroger-madigan express will continue mowing everyone down and no one will ever stop the express train!
GOOD I hope that they throw the book at that POS. We don't need peop;e lile him on the CPD. He must have some heavy clout to keep his job with his past.
The same for the POS female cop who had her problems at Starbucks.
Everyone should advocate that these POS should lose their job and go to jail, because they give the rest of the department a bad name.
Hey Ted,PLEASE HELP GET BODIES/VEHICLES,not more decals.

We should start contacting the Detective Division for Felony Upgrades on all Batteries with serious injury. I wonder how many of those Felony Review will approve. Will the ADS approve Felony Charges when the ASA denies them?
Callighan is a moron who should have been fired the last two times he was stripped....Nothing but a drunk and a piece of shit...There was almost an HBT at his house this past week....Fr Nangle went there and talked him out to hospital....Unfortunately there will be more and some poor copper might get hurt because of his violent drunken tirades....the man is an HBT waiting to happen and mark my words.....it will.
According to a representative over at Ford motor company, fleet had 300 new Crown Vic's ordered to help replace the 480 that the CPD is short. That order was cancelled after Jody took over. If that order was allowed to stand those 300 cars would be on the ground right now at 52nd. and Wentworth. After those 300 were preped and assigned the CPD would only be 180 cars short. Now however according to Ted O'keefe we will not see the 160 Tahoes for six months. After those Tahoes are preped and assigned we will still be 320 cars short. This fact alone not to mention all the other disadvantages of the Tahoes illustrates what a poor decesion the Tahoes are.
Only work to fight violent crime that way the housing of the mope along with our court time costs the city. Do not write tickets which make the city money. That way no one can say you are not the real police and violent crime will go down. After all people do not like getting tickets. Havent you heard " why arent you busting real criminals"? well there you have it, bust real criminals earn overtime and court time and bring in notinig for king richie. People don't want tickets they want to see crime go down.
Someone just wrote that "they" are trying to distanct the new policepeople from the oldtime policeMEN. Just look at your uniformes. Wait until they take the visor off of the jr. baseball caps, add a propellor and they will have you guys just where they want you. Most of you could be transfered to Digby Catfish House and Secutiry and not have to change a stitch of uniform..If theyre are any men left on this job, please hold on. You can tell the men, they have BALLS.
WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! AREN'T GUNS ILLEGAL IN CHICAGO????

True now we will work! not! sorry after waht was done to officers like METTE and COZZI we can see that dept does not care about sticking up and backing it's members! The ones at 35th it is elementary you stuck it to all of the blue shirts turn about is fair play correct?

YOU ALL MISS THE KEY POINT!!
Both vehicles are rated at 14 mpg in the city, and other departments have reported the Tahoes last between 50,000 to 100,000 more miles than the Crowns, O’Keefe said.
NOW YOU CAN HAVE A TAHOE WITH 200,000 TO 300,000 MILES ON IT, instead of a hunk o'shit Crown Vic with only 150,000!!! And still NO POOL CARS!!
Go to copssoundoff.blogspot.com
Murder are up to rediculous highs and yet we're still not taken care of. This city REALLY has its priorities together.
You want bad news, go to 015 3rd watch now that MS is on furlo, god help us all
The one type of tahoe that is shown on the web site looks like it belongs to the cta. why not go back to the police car without the stupid caps star on it. put a regular star or just leave the car without a star.
All I want is a computer that works for cripes sake.
want to talk about being doomed, look at the 06 cars in 015. nobody wants to work with that goofy lt on 3rd and having ftos being assigned to work plain clothes on 2nd and 3rd watch.
Jeff Pelo 440 years. Why don't you mention the Bloomington, Illinois cop who was sentenced today for raping several women while on duty.

OH PLEASE, IT'S THE DEPRAVED DEGENERATE CRIMINAL WHITESHIRTS THAT GIVE THIS DEPARTMENT THE NEFARIOUS REPUTATION IT DESERVES. PUT BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS.NOW GO GET JODY & THE REST OF THE EXEMPTS SOME MORE TOWELS IT'S GETTING A LIL CHILLY IN THE MENS MASSAGE DEN
FYI--there is an article about the gov & his trooper plan for Chicago at Washingtonpost.com. Seems the whole country knows about gov's kick to Daley's hindquarters...LOL!
J-FED needs J-FINN they need to put Jerry Finnigan and a couple of real working coppers back on the streets to take back chicago out of the 10 or 12 teams on S.O.S 3 teams made a dent with GUNS and drugs..
Heard that all CPD vehicles will be painted in the same color scheme as the TMA Vehicles. White with green, blue and yellow stripes.
So instead of buying 300 Crown Vics the city is going to buy 160 Tahoes. That is really smart, who says Jodi is not a good manager?
So the murder rate is up 18%. So what.
As long as the ghetto mongrels are killing only themselves, who gives a rats ass? I know I don't.
Keep it up Willie and Pookie. Just learn to shoot better so no innocent bystanders get hit.

What profession you in? I'm sure we've locked up thousands, of assh*les like him in your profession that will never make it to the papers.
Why don't we just use Hearses as meat wagons[squadrols to you CAPS Police], it would take care of dual purpose jobs.
Of course CPD arrests are down, we have less manpower on the streets, Lots Less. Less Cops, less arrests, that only makes sense everywhere, except probably here in Crook County, where lots of the politicians and taxpayers have an I.Q. lower than my shoe size. And I think the Aldermen could chip in and make a few pinches once in awhile, they carry guns don't they?
It's STILL a great job, if the politicians would just BUTT THE FUCK OUT......

Hey, idiot, how many of the original tahoes do we have? I don't know the number, but when they get totalled in typical suv crashes, they never make it to the touted 200k miles. We have new and old officers that can barely handle their personal cars, much less grasp the concepts required to take an suv thru an intersection safely! I want a number on how many suv's are left standing in 6 mos.
You called me a troll for mentioning Jeff Pelo. My profession: I police the United States Constitution....a lawyer that is. You guys certainly have arrested lots of lawyers in the past. I jumped for joy when you arrested that piece of crap divorce lawyer who keyed that Marine's car. They deserve everything they get. I am saddened and frustrated, as you are when an educated professional (police/lawyer/judge) that the publc trusts to bring "justice" is taken down. It's a pox on all of our houses.
About vehicles: a) If you can get that much more mileage out of a Tahoe I figure by the time it gets to 200k or so it's one stinky ride with dried boogers all over the interior (thats for chris and louie from the old 014.) So maybe it is better to turnover the fleet every-so-often. b) Lets think outside the box....time to give out 'take home cars' (not take them away) that being the high time rides that certain po's would love to baby and use on the street on their beat...wagons too...oh for the supe and his civilian cadre, the wagon is the vehicle that a po calls for right after the slow down to the '10-1'. As in: "slow em' down squad send me the f'n wagon." Oh and '10-1' is what the copper is scream'n into the radio to get help NOW...and no I don't think the supe or his minions have ever been there or done that, or have a clue what BEING the police is about...not numbers; not mottos; not core values; not management by computer. But taking care of each other. You want to manage by 'walking around' as they use to say...I'd give the new regime'rs a test...recite the names of the people on the job you now know...That's right, you guys have insulated yourselves so well from the unwashed herd that you only know, and want to know, the names of those gaming the new system. Get over your collective selves and reach out past 35th street, and city hall. You'll find out the smartest and most dedicated person on this job is wearing a blue shirt and working a beat car.

Thats the main point we all need to be looking at. I don't know where this higher standard for the police bullshit came from but these trumpt up charges would never be approved and we would be laughed at silly just for asking the dics/asa's to approve charges if it were average joe citizen as the offender. We'll never get a fair shake in this town, don't do shit and screw their evaluations. We have a union contract so their eval's won't water, never did in the past.
if only are 1 percent retro was as high as the murder rate. ching! ching!
G.Callahan will be back on the job and get promoted!!!!!!!!!!

Listen kid, "rediculous highs" are a little far fetched! Look back to '90-'95, see what the murder rate was then! 100 homicides in ONE DISTRICT!
Are they on the rise? Yes, I'll give you that, but you have NO idea what a blood-bath realy is!
Why don't you mention the Bloomington, Illinois cop...

Ummm, because this isn't a blog for Bloomington? This is Chicago.
A while back lover boy Picardi and Lou Gehrig Tatara subjected the CPD to their Chevy Impala and Tahoe experiment. Their brainchild failed and the CPD went back to Ford Crown Victorias. Now along comes J-fed with his Tahoe experiment which will also fail.
..."I police the United States Constitution....a lawyer that is."...
Didn’t you mean to say; “I’m a low life, shit-slurping bottom feeder who will do anything (including but not excluding oral & anal) to make damn sure I get my client off (in more ways than one) of any and all charges just as long as the money keeps rolling my way, just so my client can go forth a free man, free to repeat the same crime over and over!”
Listen you pompous, egotistical, jag-off, don’t follow too close to that ambulance your chasin’!
J-fed Don't forget about the car number on the roof so the helicopter can see it!

Sorry pal seen it happen too many times, the lazy det. arrives and continuously brow-beats the victim, treated more like the offender, telling them they will have a bunch of court dates etc. until the victim decides they no longer want to participate, the det. then walk out the door, having spent more time try to kill the case than to actually work it. I wil say this, it happened alot with the older dets. most of the younger ones would do their jobs.
Now go fuck yourself, but stay safe while doing so!

Key word is felony review. They don't do their job or won't do their job without trying it over the phone (judge and jury). We don't have experienced ASA's in that office (other than the lame-brain supervisors) and it is a total joke. Half the time you have to bring them up-to-date with 720.
