J-Fed Blinks - Again
Where is this guy getting advice from? Because, we'll be quite frank here, it sucks. The latest misstep?
- General Order 08-01: Secondary Employment
- Item IV - Restrictions: Secondary employment is prohibited under any of the following conditions:
- Section G: When the secondary employment would exceed twenty hours per week. This restriction included both secondary and voluntary secondary employment combined.
- NOTE: This restriction does not apply to secondary employment during annual or compensatory time furlough periods.
This was issued 06 August 08, despite the fact that it conflicted with years worth of labor agreements. One would assume that J-Fed had actual lawyers or at the very least people who could read working for him to point this out. They must have been working "Back to the Beat" or whatever they're calling "Closed Market" these days. Not even three weeks later, a AdMin Fax came out and the General Order was amended noting that Section G had been rescinded.
Would anyone care to list the policies instigated by J-Fed and his merry band of idiots that have had to be rescinded because they were illegal, unlawful and in direct violation of existing contracts? Here's a starting list:
Would anyone care to list the policies instigated by J-Fed and his merry band of idiots that have had to be rescinded because they were illegal, unlawful and in direct violation of existing contracts? Here's a starting list:
- Felony Review to be notified in the event an officer was arrested for any charge whatsoever;
- The SCC Post of 25 April noting how a large number of Sergeants had been moved out of their districts on the issued transfer order and then reinstated to their districts, not once, but TWICE;
- FOP Officers stripped in violation of the CR process and in the face of a scheduled Arbitrator hearing.
There are others, but we're sleepy.

is this stupid mother fucker insane? I won't be able to feed my kids without my sidejob!! We don't 300,000 a year J-jag u inconsiderate asshole
This just in: A copy of the letter that J -Fed allegedly wrote to the governor of Iowa is now floating around. It's a one page letter asking the governor to look at the facts of the case and give Mike a pardon. He has also stated in one of his recent meetings with supervisors, that if pardoned, Mette will be welcomed back on the job. He also related that the Mayor allegedly wrote a letter to the Iowa governor too (and by that I mean he had someone with a grasp of the English language write some things down).
I read the J-Fed letter, and while it's a step in the right direction, I have no confidence that it will actually be read rather than tossed into a pile of mail. I hope for Mike's sake that this a positive step towards his release.
And to J Fed....don't let the cause die out with one letter. If you get no response, STEP UP YOUR EFFORTS. And while we're on the subject of doing the right thing, FIX WHAT YOU DID TO COZZI. Enough is enough.
OT: As if the districts are not already strapped for manpower rumor has it that unit 141-formerly known as 153 (S.O.S.) is getting 25+ bodies transferred in.
Reason:
To be assigned as security for Hussein. Yes, Hussein Obama. Don't even try to drive around Hyde Park unless you live there. CPD and Secret Service are everywhere.
Must be getting the legal advice from the law firm of Dumb&Stoopid and Idiots.
Contract issue - Why are members of the Forensic Services Unit and the Personnel Division Background Unit on the ten hour day? The ten hour day was never negotiated with the FOP. FIle a griv. on this FOP. Tell us FOP. FOP - Blink.
It sounds as if J-Fed is trying to retaliate because the Officers in this city have chosen to take the "hands off approach" to policing. All he's trying to do is find a way to make our lives miserable because "chalkie" is making appearances all over the city, even downtown, therefore making J-Fed and DaMayor look incompetent! They see the bid for the 2016 Olympic Games going......going......gone!
McCain's pick as VP is a member of the NRA,hunts and fishes,flys her own float plane and is a conservative Republican.Oh,and she is very pretty..
I really can’t believe that there is a level of incompetence that is being demonstrated by all these contractual mistakes. Not only is there several officers assigned to the Supt. Office who are lawyers there is also officers who have labor agreement experience. Something is amiss here. Not sure if this a “game” the department is playing either with us, the FOP or both.
I do have a feeling that this was a rush G.O. due to an alleged investigation of officers assigned to specialized units who were “double dipping” while working the Chicago Park District security detail. But even if it was due to this, why nobody assigned to the Supt. Office couldn't make a call to the FOP to run by any departmental change is beyond me. A simple phone call could avoid the embarrassment of publishing another rescinding order on a new G.O.
For a guy like Jody Weis making over $300,000.00 a year, he sure is looking like a minimum wage entry level employee. Had the city gave Weis a contract based on bonuses and commissions, Supt Weis would actually owe the City money at this point in his appointment.

Did Limon quit Friday?
I heard that he had it with Peterson and left.

Did Limon quit Friday?
I heard that he had it with Peterson and left.
I've never met Peterson nor know anything about him but everytime I see him, whether in person or on TV, I just laugh out loud. "Screaming Skull" is just too funny!
Well, unless he was screaming at you. 'Cause that wouldn't be funny.
It'd actually be very "Un-Dude like"
I urge everyone here to purchase and carry extra ammo/mags in anticipation of the upcoming 08 election riot. Hit the range enough to be comfortable at 25yds. . . we're severely outgunned and understaffed. with the morale as low as it is, there will probably be plenty of those who hit the medical to avoid the headache.
the 'supe and the brass will undoubtedly refuse to fully prepare for an event of that magnitude due to the negative attention that they would receive. Any preparation will be some back-door scheme that only the "in the know" people are aware of - all the people "in the know" are so out of touch with the streets that the plan will most likely put is in greater danger.
For your and your comrade's safety, please consider carrying any or all of the following items:
water, food, ammo, mags, extra weapons if available, 2-way radios and extra batteries if possible (ideally standardized), basic med kit, extra flashlights/batteries, emergency radio, cell phone batteries, extra socks/underwear/clothes/uniform, gas mask, flex-cuffs, matches/lighter, anything else you think you might need.
This might sound a bit Y2K-ish, but most of this shit you have at home or can pick up now pretty easy and economically. organizing it into a gear bag is essential though. have it readily available. If nothing happens, who cares. If you're on your own and need something - you'd better have it, or at least have some sort of open communication with your brothers in blue in order to get it.
I am a survivor of having once worked for Deb "I don't like to micro-manage, but..." Kirby. She must have spent half her day sending e-mails to supervisors - each of them modifying or rescinding the previous e-mail. What was hysterical was that the final product was almost identical to the e-mail she had originally sent seven e-mails ago. God bless her, but if something happened that got some press, she'd send a sweeping change to existing unit policy. Then, because it was too broad in scope, have to revise it, revise it again, and revise it back. Lovely woman, but a bit reactionary. My guess is since she is the Department's legal eagle, and because she cannot live without tweaking, she is behind most of the publish/rescind, publish rescind, publish rescind.
He has also stated in one of his recent meetings with supervisors, that if pardoned, Mette will be welcomed back on the job.
...so he can be stripped and charged here, no doubt...
For a guy like Jody Weis making over $300,000.00 a year, he sure is looking like a minimum wage entry level employee. Had the city gave Weis a contract based on bonuses and commissions, Supt Weis would actually owe the City money at this point in his appointment.
If J-Fed had any balls he would donate his $300 grand to the Gold Star family fund or the CPD Memorial fund. He is pulling down an FBI pension.
OFF TOPIC...
WHY CAN'T WE LOG ON TO THE FOP WEBSITE. IT SAYS YOU NEED A USER NAME AND PASSWORD???
WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ARBITRATOR MEETING.
This fuckin' super is nuts , nuts , nuts. Does he relly know what he's doing the the best police dept in the world. He has done more in 8 months to fuck up this dept then all of the last 10 supers have. Jody , hit the bricks and go find another Fed and pull his prick . We don't want you .
When something is done that causes the FOP to file a grievance and it ends up in court, where does the city get the money to fight it? So when they lose because they didn't do their homework and could have avoided the whole process, is that an efficient use of tax dollars? How much are these people being paid again? How much does this cost the taxpayers?
CMON U REMEBER WHEN U WERE A RECRUIT? FORGETTING THE COMPLAINTS OR SENDING THE BAD GUY HOME WITHOUT HIS TICKETS.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THIS RECRUIT MAKE 300K A YEAR AND CAN HURT US ALL BY THE FLICK OF HIS NUTRAGRAIN SPONSORED PEN.
MAY B HE NEEDS A FEW OF THOSE FTO AT HIS SIDE CUZ DA SCREAMING SKULL, AUNT B, AND WANNA B PRIEST KEEEF ARENT UP TO SNUFF.
Maybe J-Fed should also check out the Movie Detail unit and find out why the majority of the time it's the clout heavy and desk jockies at 35th and Michigan who are getting the movie gigs. It amazes me how you put in for every detail and get mauybe one every three or four months. And Gross is still looking for more bodies to push through orientations. Bullshit
Oh JFed don't you know you can't do that. You have Mo Curly & Larry leading you down a path of destruction.
Don't worry kiss will take over the books and her friends will do ok with the overtime.
Nobody should believe this Dept. is being run by J-Fed. Evry important decission is coming from city hall through the Chief of Staff (no, zero, nada, police experience), O'Keffe (no, zero, nada, police experience), Deb Kirby (favorite of the 19th Ward and Daley), and others. A friend from HQ told me there are bunches of people down there, like in personnel who Daley is inserting who have no police background.
Daley got just what he wanted in J-Fed, an expensive trained lap dog who will do what he is ordered to do, especially roll-over.
Remember the swiping in/out rule that numbnuts rescinded?
Little late to write a letter for Mette. He said he was going to do it back in May.
Who is the four eyed geek Sgt in 008 Tact what a dick
This is what happens when you have a NON-Police Officer take over for a Dept. that he has NOT even know the basics of how this organization really runs!
Then you have a bunch of kiss asses with an agenda to push that does NOT make sense nor functions well with the majority of coppers who are affected by his decisions!
WE ARE FUCKED UP!
JFed does not blink. He can't, its the botox.
Yes, Limon gave two weeks notice on Friday.
If anybody tries to intimidate you, write down the facts of what transpired in detail and who was present. Immediately get your notes timestamped/notarized and start a file in the event you choose to file suit.
Hey you doing nothing's at FOP get up your ass, get to the districts and Organize a Demonstration at City Hall for a vote of no Confidence in the Superintendent,his Staff the Mayor. Stop sitting on your hands and do something, and I don't want to hear the excuse about how you are limited with what you can do, earn your money. Something is better than nothing.
Arrogance, thine name is J-KIRBY.
Makes you wish the rest of the lemmings in this country could get an understanding of how unions and emergency responders are treated by the Daley, Obama, Illinois Combine. Wish they could get the message before 4 November, but it doesn't matter, neither party is concerned for you or yours. Union city my butt. It's every man/woman for him/herself, and that is what Big Money always wanted. Divide and Conquer, look at this Blog.
Apparently, Limon has indeed called it quits. Dealing with Deputy Supt. "screaming skull" Lemonhead must be more taxing than anyone ever could have guessed.
It appears that bodies are being added to protect Sen. Obama.
Whether you support him or not,
we should all be concerned that
the man is safe when he is in Chicago. Do we need any further embrrassing moments to occur to make the CPD look any worse?
Off Subject: Everyone have a safe and DUI free holiday weekend. Come back to SCC.
I like the part of the secondary employment order that declares that the Chicago Police Department comes first in officer's lives. Jody, it has been an awful long tim since the Chicago Police Department came first in my life. It is not even second or third, it is way down the list.
I work 20-30 hours a week on my second job, How are you going to find me Jody and what will you do? You have already alienated much of the department, good luck with the rest.
Jody, fuck you asshole.
OT>>>>
I thought Obama made a great speach. Too bad he cant keep those promises. Or the ones he will keep will tax the shit out of us!
I am voting for McCain for one reason and one reason only. It would hurt Mayor Daley!
I truley think both candidates suck.
However I need a reason to vote and thats the only valid one I can think of!
I wonder if the policy group that he formed has their hands in these decisions. The group with that Sgt. and two POs, one with 5 yrs experience and the other with 7 yrs experience.
Are you kidding me? So what would happen if I worked more than 20 hours a week?
Scc what can we do to feed our kids? That is unfair they don't want to give us our raises yet we cant work more than 20 hours?
Did Limon quit Friday?
I heard that he had it with Peterson and left.
8/30/2008 05:55:00 AM
We could only hope. Then again, who's next?
Jfrauds complete incompetance and the citys fuck you attitude about a contract have ruined this job. What is real sad is the actions of Jfraud and the city have caused the police to just respond to calls and stop doing anytype of aggesive police work and this is getting people killed and hurt. Crime is up for many reasons Jfraud is trying to hide it now by making the crime stats a secret, but one of the biggest reasons is no contract and lack of leadership. Daley the blood of the dead is on your hands you destroyed the police department. soon the whole city will be just like detroit its not even safe to go to navy peir or the fireworks on the 3rd. the tourist dollars are gonna stop because of the hands off appraoch to the strong arm robbery's the homeless are committing everyday and the beast is allowed to roam the city uncheacked just looking for the next victim.
Area 3 Gun and Saturation teams are loaded with ass hats from the lt all the way down.
Don't you people read your general orders. This order has been on the books for more than 20 years. It is nothing new. However, it has rarely been enforced as long as it didn't become an issue such as years ago when an officer at the UofC complained that several of the part-time city guys were working more than 40hrs a week. Several guys took short suspensions.
Limon was rumored to be leaving the week Chasen left, so maybe it's true.
Now, as for the contract, I don't know what's happening today, but back when Jody first came in, he was issuing edicts left and right and a few bosses were arguing the point over and over that 'they have a contract, you can't do that'.
One particular exempt complained that 'this guy never worked with unions and doesn't get it'.
I don't think Jody is deliberately baiting the FOP (which is unmoveable anyway, kinda like a boulder). I think he's just that arrogant, that he thinks he's king and can make a change with a wave of the hand, without consulting ANYBODY but maybe Emperor Richard.
If swat is going to get extra pay because they have to keep up standards, all of us who are in the process of getting carbines should also get extra. We have to qualify and take power test 3 times per year, we must train on our own time and at our own expense. SWAT trains 2 weeks per period on the citys dime. Iam in contact with fop about this issue.
my morale is way up...you can wear my uniform boss...
Contract issue...
These units are not open to bid so they can do what they want...
Off-Topic.
To the poster relating his jewelry story. I too buy out of the county whenever I can. I also buy on-line.
If yo buy on-line, use stores you know, also a store that has no outlet in illinois.
Anyone looking for great jewelry at very good prices check out Blue Nile, at bluenile.com . Do research about them, you will find they are highly rated.
8/27/2008 08:28:00 AM
Thanks for the tip. It came just in the nick of time and could potentially save me a load of dough. The prices seem to be quite reasonable, there is no tax, there is no tax money going to Richie, Toddler, or Blago, and bluenile.com pops for the shipping. If you are buying jewelry, this is a win-win-win. I love the internet. Thanks again.
Old Southside 19-Paul.
I for one, am happy they're changing the FTO thing. We don't have one single FTO on our watch and we get mobs of recruits each time they come out. That along with working with ppo's, i haven't been able to work with my regular partners in weeks. And probablly only a handfull of times in the last few months. It sucks. I feel for those districts listed. They are never going to be able to work with steady partners.
these things happen when your boss is a PPO
OFF TOPIC - Sorry, but it pissed me off. Had anyone noticed that employees at the Bank of America branch on west Archer have started acting really shitty to police officers and fire types doing their banking there? Was in with my friend [CFD - don't tell anybody] and the 22+ or - yoa chubby F/4 treated us like shit. I was cashing my CTA VSEP check, when asked for my ID, told me my CPD ID didn't mean anything. My friend had gone to a safe deposit box that he is on with his Mom, to get some paperwork to bring to her [in nursing home] and they acted like they were doing him a solid to let him access the box.
Bunch a gang-banger looking tellers lately, I don't think the older Polish speaking customers have a shot at service any more. Bank of America?
North or South?
Loomis bank is looking better by the moment.
Anybody else out there noticed this, or was it just my luck to walk into a bank attempting to conduct business with people who are clue-less
take a look at these photos of the murder in uptown before the police arrived on scene.

PETERSON IS A DICK-HEAD!
Who advise him the 3 stooges? Naw even they are not that stupid! Again and again it is proven that his leadership is "no leadership", maybe he needs to dump peterson and the rest of the overpaid no idea morons! WTF! On another front looks like old pal JJ not the first deputy the goof from midway is back with a vengeance guess his power is more than the new lts? And the commnaders! Old school bosses had some corage the new ones? guess not! How many more things can JJ do and get away with? Who is his clout meeks he says!

Supernintendo Weis,
I work about 30 to 40 hours a week secondary employment. I have 2 children, and a wife that can't work. I would love to see you try and stop me from working 20 hours a week. First off I didn't blow the Mayor to get a 310,000 a year job like you did. Last time I checked we still fight over a whopping 2% raise while these useless part time aldermen get nice raises and over 100K a year salaries. Secondly I have a house payment and food to put on my table, so if you think that you are going to stop that and try to take away from my kids I will kick your ass. Plain and simple, no threat....just a promise. I know you make loads of money and you think that it is cheap to live in this city but guess what, it ain't. I have to pay 75 for a city sticker, I pay an exorbitant amount of property tax, sales tax, gas is higher here than any where else in the nation, public schools suck because of the savage. So once residency is lifted, Democrats lose control of the County and the City, savages are eliminated from our neighborhood schools, I will continue to work the amount of hours that I do. I will leave my name anonymous, until you post here for your ass whooping.
-Hard Working Copper.
PS You are not very liked here so why don't you just quit all ready?
yeah, sure everybody in that part of the country hunts,fishes and owns guns. what else can you do??
Nice try 05:55, how about Peterson had it with Limon, Limon is as incompetent as they come, political hack all the way.Now maybe someone with some fresh ideas can come in, instead of the "status quo" in OCD. What you gonna do now that your guy is gone? Go back to patrol?
"He has also stated in one of his recent meetings with supervisors, that if pardoned, Mette will be welcomed back on the job."
Easier said then done. He's still a convicted felon, he needs his record expunged. Think that's going to happen??
o/t not sure if anyone other than supervisors got the email but...I got an email from Jody informing me of Mette's hearing on 11 Sep. He stated that the Mette family would like the support of PO's. He also included a copy of his letter to the governor of Iowa. Very nice. Rather out of character...
If Limon quit I will pack his bags for him....what a useless dope.
But there are lots of folks who treat this job as their second job. There was always a few on midnites who would sleep so they could be ready for their day job. There was always a few who would work inside so they could do their other job. Either scheduling on the phone or doing their bookwork. It might just change with the way the insurance is getting. Hell, Starbucks gives you better medical insurance than the city does.
THATS BULL SHIT CAN HE DO THAT?
Bring back bribes and stealing, we wont need to work 20 extra hours or get a raise.
Please, dont fall for J-Fed trying to help Mette. It is just an attempt to gain morale. Look at the substance of the letter; very poor. He has the contacts that he can call to change this whole situation.
Off topic but I thought I would let everyone know that after all my succes as a police officer on bt 2206 I have decided to run for President. You can hear my policies and beliefs if you follow this link.http://www.inews3.com/play.php?first=Raymond&last=Bam Bam Winke

Off topic and I know alot of you guys hate the "college age" copper but someone started a facebook group a few days ago in relation to the Mike Mette incident. In three or four days there are already 800 plus college kids in support of Mike Mette. I know some people just join the group for the hell of it but it is still nice to know some of the young kids still have some sense.

oh no! what is his useless, ditsy bride going to do. Will she still be taken care of and coddled?
as my pappa use to say. one big cluster fuck.
Heard that w/c’s were told to motivate the troops for better numbers or else. A couple of 3rd watch w/c’s told PPO J-Fed that half of the third watch works for the board of education on days mostly in grade schools. They put it on the coppers saying that no one wants to make arrests because the court interferers with 6 to 7 hours a day they are working there.
OF COURSE THE W/C’S NEVER MENTIONED THAT THEY ROUTINELY DENY TIME DUE TO THE ENTIRE WATCH because half of the watch is detailed out or are working in the office. The A&A sheets are falsified almost ever day along with the w/c log.
The Park District thing comes up every five years or so. 75-80% of the po’s ever questioned are not disciplined because they are not shorting the city. I.E. working for us 1600-0000 hrs. On the Park District payroll 0000-0800. The beef is usually how are you here one second and half way across the city at the same time. Most of the time they are shorting the Park District. Of course 10% of the goofs will try to over lap a couple of hours.
Here Supt Weis. Pay all of us $310,000.00 a year and I promise not to work one minute on anything else. Really promise. Pinky Swear! Cross my heart and hope to die, swear!
King Richie's proclamation supersedes any employment contractual rights one has.
Don't believe me? Check the King Richie Rule Book!
Hey Jody, why don't you just butt- out of our working side jobs. We don't have days off 230 times a year like the Firemen, to work on the side and to to take jobs away from Union workers with their illegal little side-businesses like THEY DO. If you want to investigate something, why don't you get some of your Fed buddies from IRS and check that out, and leave us [CPD] alone. You've already done enough stupid crap to last a lifetime by listening to your brainless-criminal boss Shortshanks the bedwetter Daley.
Steroids can cause one's brain to turn into marbles and can cause a man's testicles to shrink down to nothing.
Hmmmm.. No balls and marbles for brains. I think they may have something here. This may explain everything.
Haven't heard that Limon quit in disgust with Daddy Warbucks Peterson, but I wouldn't doubt it, nobody seems to be able to get along anymore in upper management, as they are more like problem causers than problem solvers, which they are paid the big money for in the first place.
It would be professional if the contract was settled without an Arbitrator for once, with some significant benefits for the CPD people, instead of the constant whining poor by Daley, who shells out money like a drunken Irish Sailor for years, then cries poor at CPD contract time. Too bad we can't get who handles the NYPD Contracts. Also, heard NYPD doesn't accept Federal Money, therefore has no quotas and promotes fairly by real job performance, not our fake tits Merit system of politically corrupt Merit/Patronage Appointments, patronage, nepotism, etc.
It says, secondary employment, meaning CHA, CTA, Airports.... But doesn't say anything about side jobs you work. So relax. Nobody is going to get more than 20 hrs a week with department secondary employment.

Hey SCC and all you other pussy mother fuckers. You bitches cried because you can't work the Airport or CHA. Hey bitches! Ride a fucking bus or get a security job like I did when I had 10 or 12 yrs. on the job. I spent more time in a fucking shithole then some of these 10 yr. morons got on the job. Maybe if some of you dumb fucks who work the 1st watch in 011-4 or 5 yrs on the job-what do you expect sport?(like you're the only one who ever did that-go to the bar and tell everyone what a great"cop" you are. Fuck you junior. And after you blast the Supt. who is charge of a Major City P.D. I would love to see how you would run it. Maybe you could make your policy over drinks at the bar and then come home and get on the computer. Most of the pussy ass fucks who contribute to this blog are morons with less than 15 sorry 10 sorry 5 yrs. on job. "Oh FUCK. I DIDN'T MAKE SGT. KISS MY ASS."

You get treated like, tell the bitch to get her supervisor, now.
Supervisor treats you like shit, tell the bitch or bastard to get their supervisor, now.
Either request is refused, take names and write the CEO of the bank.
Bank tellers and first tier supervisors are a dime a dozen.
Anyone treats you like shit, first call them on it, and, if their attitude doesn't do a 180, file a complaint.
Anyone puts their shit in your face, shove it right back at them.
It's the fucking bank that needs your business, not the other way around.

If you read this, that sgt. that is on the policy whatever is a goof. He has been dumped before for leaving his SOS officer unsupervised while he ate with a bunch of politicians. Great , and now he is making policy decisions when he could find time to supervise 8 officers. One of the worst sergeants I every worked with in my CPD career.
I know where J-Feds getting his advice. He's getting it from Tracy Ladner. She was Corp Counsel ddoing labor law for years. They bumped her over to a make-work job supervising Shackman decree compliance. It was a high paid paper shuffling job. Then someone foisted her off on the Police Dept.
That's where J-Fed's getting his advice.
Whoever posted Debra Kirby is a lovely woman must be smoking crack, she is a miserable person, a micromanager and made IAD the worst place to work when she was in charge. She threatened workers with disciplinary action for any and everything......Thank you for giving us Tina Skahill!
He has the contacts that he can call to change this whole situation.

You know, you people amaze me sometimes. This fuckin' idiot Jfed was nothing more than a SAIC. Go find out how high up the chain in rank that position is, then reevaluate how much federal "clout" you think this asshole has. This fuck was nothing more than the equivalent of a "commanding officer", and of that, his rank was more like a PO who was allowed to be responsible for a unit, but not given any actual rank.
This shitbag Jfed was no Director, Deputy Director, Asst. Deputy Director or anything near a higher ranking Fed.
Jfuck hasn't the clout to ask his mommy for shit without asking someone of any actual rank within the Fed.
You people give this shitstick WAY too much credit and seem to imagine him to be a federal god, when it's more like crossing guard supervisor.
Heard McCotter gave notice too. Perterson is losing his people.
Don't ya just luv this dude !!!!
Maybe if we all said a Novena this jerk would quit. Can we get an Amen on this . Every time I see him on TV I wanna puke.
Calling Limon a useless dope is offensive to all the real useless dopes.

OFF TOPIC - Sorry, but it pissed me off. Had anyone noticed that employees at the Bank of America branch on west Archer have started acting really shitty to police officers and fire types doing their banking there? Was in with my friend [CFD - don't tell anybody] and the 22+ or - yoa chubby F/4 treated us like shit. I was cashing my CTA VSEP check, when asked for my ID, told me my CPD ID didn't mean anything. My friend had gone to a safe deposit box that he is on with his Mom, to get some paperwork to bring to her [in nursing home] and they acted like they were doing him a solid to let him access the box.

last week I worked 30 hours at my side jobs. It was real difficult teaching Limon to name to make Fry's, Crumpy can make a Whopper blind folded! Martinez was sent to the BK national school as a Management Trainee, and came back with a Certificate in Spanglish that he is now a certified Sanitation Professional, and along with a note pinned on his uniform shirt stating that Sanitation was all he was found to be qualified for, and a question asking for a clarification of what "Meritus" was. Rumor in the BK circles was he wore out a broom, mop and 2 toilet brushes!
I wont even get into the exempt who is refusing to comply with the Sup's directive, but lets just say that a Hot-Dog cart is being used, and the exempt is know to be proficient with the sausages ie. Hot dogs, Polska Kilbasa and Italian.
He has also stated in one of his recent meetings with supervisors, that if pardoned, Mette will be welcomed back on the job."
Easier said then done. He's still a convicted felon, he needs his record expunged. Think that's going to happen??
No. Doesn't need to. Because when you are pardoned, the conviction is erased, like it never happened.
you can thank kiss and carroll for this shit.
j fed still looks like a steroid abuser to me.
To the post about the movie detail:
You are correct that the details are almost exclusively given to house cats at 35th and others who are in the clique. They want it to seem above board and legit by requiring the orientation and having you submit your requests via I clear.
Nothing could be further from the truth. You can submit your requests all you want but you'll almost always be an unsuccessful bidder. Most of the time these things are filled by Debbie Fuller and her friends calling people they know to staff these things. How do you think that detective worked 12 or 14 days on the movie detail while on furlo a few months back? Do you really think he was a successful bidder that many times?
A lot of times the details that come up aren't even listed on the site. If you were to check a list of the names who have worked the movie detail over the last 2 to 3 years you'll see the same names over and over again. Parelli and his wife Tina are regulars because they both happen to work at headquarters.
The department is constantly tweaking all other forms of extra employment like Midway,C.H.A., O'Hare etc. Why can't they make the movie detail thing legit? Share the wealth and give everyone a fair crack at it.
1350 stop playing police you asshat. your incessant radio traffic interupts the flow of my day. Ever notice the lack of response to your "berzerk" bullsh@t

Hey dummy, if he gets pardoned, it means his felony conviction disappears and he could be rehired.
Whether you support him or not,
we should all be concerned that
the man is safe when he is in Chicago. Do we need any further embrrassing moments to occur to make the CPD look any worse?
Hey moron he is protected by the secret service and has been for months. Cpd is not needed for his detail. It is merely done per da mayors orders.

I completly agree. But whats with showing the police i.d. Im not slammin you for it at all, just kinda suprised me, but then again im paranoid. usually i never show my police i.d to anyone except if im stopped. these days I dont like anyone knowing who i am. Your experience is correct though, im currently looking for a new bank. I just moved out to mt. greenwood and am searching for a new bank. I hear alot of good things about archer bank that just opened up on 111th and central park. maybe try one of those if there is one out west where you live. stay safe brothers and sisters.
I was cashing my CTA VSEP check, when asked for my ID, told me my CPD ID didn't mean anything.
Why would the teller even know what the fuck a CPD id looked like? Why would you even show it unless you want everyone to think wow this guy is cool hes the police lets give him extra money or something. Show your DL or State ID like everyone else retard.
If swat is going to get extra pay because they have to keep up standards, all of us who are in the process of getting carbines should also get extra. We have to qualify and take power test 3 times per year, we must train on our own time and at our own expense. SWAT trains 2 weeks per period on the citys dime. Iam in contact with fop about this issue.
Easy solution dont carry one. It is not required therefore you shouldnt be compensated to carry it.

According to a friend of mine who worked as an executive for the former LaSalle Bank, they were operated by Dutch-owned ABN AMRO and were always very high on taking good care of their employees. High worker morale was reflected in equally high customer service ratings. As a LaSalle customer myself, I've never had a complaint about them. Since being sold to Bank of America I'm still waiting to see how they compare, but your story has me a little concerned that I may have to consider banking somewhere else.
Bank of America: you could probably learn a lesson or two from the Dutch. You too, J-Fed.

EXACTLY! The ONLY reason he showed it was to brag about being a copper, and if he has more than 2 years on and has not grown out of that, you know what a dipshit this guy is! Reminds me of the guys in 025 a few years ago: every piece of off duty clothing they wore had a CPD logo on it, some of them even drove personal cars with blue lights in the windshield right out of the Gall's catalog! I believe that trend came to a halt when they were called out on here several times...but I bet they still wear CPD pajamas at home!

The check already tells them where you work - make sure you hand them your DL so they can make a copy of it and steal your identity later, or sell it to their gang homies.
Maybe THATS why the PO elected to show the city ID instead.

What are you so worried about. You'll be dead in five years.
If you want to mark it on your calendar, that'll be three weeks after you retire.
I love this ridiculous argument.
"My life has been much more shitty than the lives of all the newbies. The total shittiness of my life grants me the wisdom to direct yours. Now, only if you make your life as big a shitpit as mine has been, will you be granted the wisdom I now have."
I have news for you, all of you. This is the single dumbest job on the face of the earth. If you were digging holes in the desert, it would make more sense than worring about this job. At least there you might find oil.
YOU ARE A CLERK! You are not a hero. What you do has no meaning. The people you protect don't want your help.
If you have under 7 years, leave. If you have over, accept your mistake and work out a new career you can start after 20.
I was cashing my CTA VSEP check, when asked for my ID, told me my CPD ID didn't mean anything.
----------------
It doesn't mean anything.
It looks like it came out of a Cracker Jack box.
Yes, your CPD ID is meaningless. It is as if you handed them a note saying, "I am me."
Stop professing to everyone you meet that you are a cop. No one cares. Besides it's embarrassing. Instead, do what I do. Try to give yourself a false aire of dignity. Tell people that you work for the Park District picking up dogshit in the doggie parks. At least that's respectable.
If it's true about only being able to work 20 hrs @week at side jobs I think the lucky suck asses at
35th will not be able to work the movies . As I remember from working them a long time ago you would start about 0500 and work until 1800 or 1900 every night . that means that all dem fucks from downtown would be in violation if they worked more then one @week. Think about that Mr. J-PUKE !
Why would the teller even know what the fuck a CPD id looked like? Why would you even show it unless you want everyone to think wow this guy is cool hes the police lets give him extra money or something. Show your DL or State ID like everyone else retard.
I'm sorry to say Your so right.
Believe it or not, Starks made an attempt to make the movie detail fair when McCotter had it. Got rid of Fuller and made sure everyone was called before someone ended up with a second day. Went back to old ways when they brought Fuller back and gave her carte blanche and no answering to the First Deputy. Always the same people since no one messes with Fuller. I wonder if she goes out for back to the beat or if she pulls a "I'm too important, I can't be gone for a week" excuse. If O'Keefe wants to civilianize, he should start with the do nothing police officers at 35th street who think they are untouchable. Let the msee what a beat car looks like on 3rd watch.
TO: If swat is going to get extra pay because they have to keep up standards, all of us who are in the process of getting carbines should also get extra. We have to qualify and take power test 3 times per year, we must train on our own time and at our own expense. SWAT trains 2 weeks per period on the citys dime. Iam in contact with fop about this issue.
Hey jackass you want to be compensated then go to SWAT. There shouldn't be any compensation to carry a tool that will potentially help our fellow officers. Then again, we shouldn't be doing the power test either....Nobody will be doing foot chases with these things. You whine and want extra money and that is a prime example with what is wrong with the department, WHAT ABOUT ME? Grow up....

Was at Midway the other talked to a "SWAT" guy who was working there! He told me as a "bonus" for working swat you could work 2 of your days off for overtime at the airport, and they could switch your schedule to make sure you worked 2 days per week! Plus the extra pay and this, hey FLOP no seniority needed as usual? How about this feel good sweet deal? Even better the swat guys are not allowed to carry their weapons into the airport unless something happens! Leadership? OK from who? The Keystone cops? Clout as usual rearing its ugly head!

The check already tells them where you work - make sure you hand them your DL so they can make a copy of it and steal your identity later, or sell it to their gang homies.
Maybe THATS why the PO elected to show the city ID instead.
Steal your identity how moron? They can see all your vitals on the banks computer when they log into your account to cash or deposit the check including your social which is not on your DL anymore. Thanks for playing dumdum.

What government issued your CPD ID card? The Kingdom of Shortshanks? It's a department ID card just like the Streets and San, fire, or any other city department. Not recognized as a government ID.
...it's a government issued I.D...."
Yes it is. The city isn't much of a government, but it is a government.

NEVER let anyone know you are the police when you're off-duty.

Lessons Learned: Part 1 of 4
"Lessons Learned" is a writing of personal thought, based on my experiences and observations of the Department.
It is intended to offer a launching point for further critical examination of the problems we are facing. It also is intended to offer an informal starting point to explore realistic, effective and meaningful ways in addressing, and hopefully resolving them.
I am sure there are some that may not agree with my thoughts, ideas, suggestions, or even that I am posting on this blog. That is certainly acceptable and expected. I do not pretend to have all the answers, or even the right ones.
My sole purpose here is to provoke critical thought, open communication in a constructive dialogue, and hopefully help facilitate positive change. If I can accomplish even a small part, then I achieved my objective. Never give up.
By my participation on this blog, I am acknowledging that this medium has potential as an overall positive communication tool to informally participate in public discussions with my brothers and sisters at CPD. I wish more of us would do likewise. Maybe someday...
There are five topics I addressed in "Lessons Learned." They are divided into 4 separate posts (including this introduction), for bandwidth considerations. When I wrote this, it was one continuous flow of thought, each topic building from the previous. I hope my comments will be comprehended in the context of the totality.

Lessons Learned: Part 2 of 4
1. Who are we? We don't have an inventory of our intellectual assets. The leadership of this Department (past and present) does not possess an acute field of vision of who, what, or where the various types of "diamonds in the rough" are.
Without that acute field of vision, they are compelled to rely on information presented to them by others. That information (and its source) could at times be the product of incompetence, political agendas, nepotism, misinformation or competing agendas.
A now retired Deputy Superintendent made very realistic assessment when he said, "There is a lot of talent out there that we don't even know about. If we don't know them and no one tells us about them, then sadly, they don't exist."
We need to immediately develop knowledge management (KM) systems to identify, verify, catalog and utilize the intellectual properties, assets and expertise we possess. With an inventory of the intellectual assets of our personnel, police supervisors, managers and administrators could readily identify and correlate resources to needs. It could also provide a method of accountability to ensure that the best people are being considered for special assignments, etc.
2. The Suppression of Excellence. We have generally become an organization of the mediocre. As a result, we only get mediocre performance, because that is all that is expected. While there are indeed exceptions where excellence at times is displayed, I would suggest that there are many times where excellence is suppressed, due to political considerations, organizational culture influences, inadequate or ineffective support mechanisms and outdated/redundant systems and policies.
Perhaps there may also be a general perception within the organization that presenting opportunities for improvement and excellence are not recognized, not acted upon or only given cursory lip-service. Perhaps there are those who resign themselves to the state of mediocre, believing they have been suppressed to the point where they cannot make a difference or fearful of repercussions for challenging the existing system.

3. Who is driving the bus? This question is currently being asked over and over within all levels of the Department. It is an unrealistic expectation to expect quality performance when there is a true lack of clarity and confidence that is shared amongst line officers, supervisors and command staff.
Change management is a delicate process, especially in an organization as large and diverse as ours. It is said that one cannot turn an aircraft carrier on a dime. Positive change that is sustainable comes from competent and careful planning; effective communication in purpose, intent and application; and organizational consistency in the change application. I would suggest we have opportunities for improvement in all of these areas.
Perhaps there are too many competing agendas that add to the confusion and sense of purpose of our members at all levels?
It is a universal truth in organizational management that the seating chart on any "leadership bus" needs to reviewed continually to ensure the right people are on board and in the right seats. With the wrong people on the bus, or the right people, but in the wrong seats, it only makes the organizational journey sluggish, inefficient, and can result in a total breakdown of the bus (CPD) itself.
This of course is a problem for any bus driver who has to balance the operational and support needs of the organization (the gas/power/suspension of the bus) with the mission and objectives of the Department (the bus route) and the forced mandates from outside stakeholders (potholes, bumps and detours in the road). As you can imagine, it takes a skilled and savvy bus driver (along with an equally skilled support staff - vehicle maintenance and road repair crews) to balance everything to keep the bus moving forward and at speed, especially when parts conflict and compete with one another.
4. Best Practices. We need to do a much better job at identifying and broadcasting best practices and develop a meaningful system to replicate them throughout the organization. There are people and teams spread throughout the Department that have developed niches of organizational competency that rise to the level of operational excellence in their areas of responsibility. Again, this goes back to my suggestion for implementing KM systems to capture, acknowledge, and share information in a readily accessible manner throughout the organization.
I did not serve in our military, but had 2 brothers that did (USA & USMC). I became aware of the Army Center for Lessons Learned while completing my Masters. I saw their application as an invaluable tool that may hold extreme value at CPD. Perhaps those with a more comprehensive understanding of this military asset can help us to explore it and see if and how we can adapt this type of KM asset to our organization.

5. The world is not flat. There is life and knowledge beyond the CPD, although some would have us to believe otherwise. Each of us needs to explore what the rest of the world is doing. There are many great applications and best practices in law enforcement that are taking place outside of CPD. Let us not close out the opportunity to seek wisdom from others outside our organization.
To that end, let me point you in a direction to read something I found very interesting. William Bratton is currently serving his 2nd five-year term as the Chief at LAPD. As you are probably aware, he was also the Police Commissioner at NYPD. Obviously, this man has a demonstrated an expertise at administration of major metropolitan police departments.
After two years at the helm at LAPD, Bratton wrote a report titled: LAPD, State of the Department. You should make an effort to review this comprehensive document. Bratton is a straight shooter who tells it how it is and doesn't sugar-coat the problems and realities at LAPD.
To access his report, go to www.lapdonline.org. In the search box, type "plan" and click GO. The first entry in the search results field provides the link to his report.
What you may find interesting in his report is that upon arrival at LAPD he inherited significant problems that mirror the problems we currently experience at CPD, chiefly the near total shutdown of productivity by officers in the field. What you may find even more interesting is the way those problems were successfully addressed and the stark contrasts to how we are currently addressing almost identical issues.
One thing that I found astonishing in his report is that in a formal survey taken of personnel at LAPD after his first two years , over 80% expressed confidence in their Chief, believing that he was doing the right things for Los Angeles, its police department, and its members. In learning more about Bratton, I realized it should come as no surprise. Bratton has improved morale and performance everywhere he has served.
Bratton's report, written in 2004, should be considered a "best practice" for police administration of big-city police agencies in the 21st Century. In 2008, it is unfortunate that we did not capture and apply his wisdom. Perhaps we could have replicated his success.
Maya Angelou once said, "When you know better - you do better." It's never too late to know better and to do better... from the Superintendent of Police to the newest PPO.
It is not the responsibility of one, it is the responsibility of all.
