Daley Lied? Again?
- As Daley hailed the opening of an extended runway at O'Hare International Airport, Weis waited at the edge of the crowd for more than two hours. After the event, as reporters asked Daley about police hiring, Weis stepped up to the microphone stand.
That's when the mayor abruptly ended the news conference. Daley said he would talk today about O'Hare expansion and nothing else.
"We're going to stay on this subject matter because I think it's important to stay on the subject matter," Daley said. "No, no, it's good to stay on it. Yesterday I took questions [on other topics], tomorrow I'll take questions, so you'll see me all week. Don't worry."
A broadcast journalist mentioned the Tribune story to him, and Daley replied: "I know, don't worry. Tomorrow, we'll be there. OK, thank you."
For the second day in a row, Mayor Richard Daley refused to take questions from reporters about his administration's failure to keep its promise to hire more police officers.
Appearing at a Friday event to announce federal money for public housing, Daley once again avoided discussing the police issue.
Police Supt. Jody Weis had promised to increase the ranks of officers as Chicago grapples with its first increase in its homicide rate in years. But the Tribune reported Thursday that City Hall has not approved department requests to hire enough officers to keep up with retirements and other attrition, resulting in hundreds of vacancies.
Some reporters are putting two and two together. Finally. And when Daley says "two plus two equals five," these same reporters are pausing in the middle of their sycophantic laughter and realizing, "Wait a minute, that's not what they taught us in J-school."
Anyone who scans the FOP newsletter can see the average fifty-plus retirements every month. Then you just pay attention at roll call and don't hear about the recruit graduation ceremonies and notice that there aren't any new faces in the Districts and the number of 99 cars keeps going up. Cops are supposed to be bullshit detectors. Anyone else smelling something odd coming out of City Hall and 35th Street?

Thank God that the truth is finally coming out before one of us is killed again.
Isn't there a reporter out there somewhere who can add it all up? We have been spelling it out for you for two years. There is a serious manpower crisis on the CPD.
We are short officers,detectives,sergeants,lieutenants,captains and I belive tow exempts. There is closer to 2,000sworn members down.
Call the PBPA Union and get he nubmers, get he officer and detective numbers from FOP, do a FOIA, ask for the number of duty availability and uniform checks issued, the number of sworn personnel who qualified annually, the number of sworn member sont eh payroll, the annual number of retirees,resignations,deaths,terminations,premanent disablity,temporary disability,etcetra.
You have to be persistent, the CPD and the city will lie and deceive you. Take a drive aroudn the city on midnights and count how many squad cars you see and coun the number of one man units.
This could be a pulitzer in the hands of a master journalist.
Why is the Sun Times and the air media ignoring this story???
The media should intereview some retirees that can tell all, maybe a disgruntled boss or two.
God Forbid another officer is killed due to this manpower shortage. Advice your families to sue and go public, this is now being documented. Call Loevy and Loevy right away, time to turn the tables.
Does anyone represent us at the City Council meetings? Now is the time for this to be brought up in the council chambers.
The National GOP will be making this a campaign issue soon, I have written to Billy Cunningham to get it out on the airwaves nationally.
According to today's Sneed Column Blago and Obama are going to get necked into the Rezko deal.
thats right-- you get your garage busted into, call 311. car stolen, call 311. get into a wreck, if its driveable go to station and do report. these are all things that once upon a time received a police response. if i get victimized, i want a red blooded american cop knocking on my door doing a report and some type of investigation. at the very least, the beat cop has an awareness that a crime has occured on their beat. 311 handles 500,000 police calls per year with about an average of 170,000 rd reports. you think we are short now, if 311 ever tanked we would be screwed. this is the bullshit line that the city has sold to the citizens. you get victimized, call 311 and we will send you a report in the mail instead of sending you the police because we have no police to send.
Is there any way we could all post how may '99 cars per watch per district occur on a "Daley" basis?
We have been extremely lucky with all the '99 units prowling the streets that nobody to my knowledge has been injuried or killed as a result of the lack of manpower.
The smoke and mirrors of getting rid of Public Housing Unit, and the School Patrol Unit, and purging HQ in order to place more officers on the streets has been a success!!! Seems since we have gotten rid of those units that all you hear is of all the problems occuring at the schools and projects.

So, when the crime rates get higher year after year because not enough coppers are on the street, then I guess everyone can blame Daley for it all and stop blaming the cops who bust their asses day after day to overcompensate for the vacancies of this department.
And instead of shelling out thousands of dollars for these in car cameras that will eventually break down just like the computers (or PDT's) that we have now, maybe Daley and his overpaid cohorts could use the millions of dollars chicago just got to hire more cops instead of giving it to those don't know the meaning of a dollar. Oh, but in Daleyland, that's unheard of....
A nice Sunday front page expose on how citizens are in danger due to the manpower shortage would be nice. This would really increase newspaper sales too.

The citizen still has the right to demand that a beat car come to their residence,business,etcetra and take a report.
This is their right and they can refuse 311, the dispatchers will try and lie to them. They can get a CR# on the dispatcher.

Officer Richard Francis was a victim of working 99.
It was our illustrious former Superintendent Phil Cline who dismantled the Public Housing Unit and the School Unit; this was done with the aid of the Rat Charlie Williams. You are correct there has been an exponential explosion of crime in both areas with the two units demise.

Off to Communist Russia, to learn new tactics in disinformation or as the Ruskies say dezinformatsiya.
Disinformation is mostly commonly described as false information created by governments in wartime for military purposes and by totalitarian governments for political purposes in peacetime. Rumors, lies, and other forms of disinformation were made public by the Soviet Union to discredit the United States, the latter being the context in which the word is generally applied. The KGB coined the Russian word dezinformatsiya; it came into the English language as disinformation. The technique of disinformation goes back at least to 1918 with the end of World War I. Disinformation as a KGB weapon began in 1923 when I. S. Inshlikht, deputy chairman of the GPU, then the name of the KGB, proposed the establishment of a special disinformation office to conduct active intelligence operations.
Do the Clintons know that Obama was named by Tony Rezko? Aside from the fact that Hillary is irate he stole her Presidential slot, they are about a silent as falling snow.

Your stupidity is astounding.
The truth is that people don't care about the PD. Their interaction with us is ticket giving and or patting them down.

Does anyone from the academy want to fill us in?
call 311 and we will send you a report in the mail instead of sending you the police because we have no police to send.

Not to mention, as far as prosecuting false reports that involve a multitude of crimes.......makes it easy for bad guys to make report and no one can be held accountable.
As a det, this frustrates the hell out of me a LOT of times!
If a police officer gets hurt do to not enough man power, can they file a lawsuit against the city for creating a unsafe work environment by not hiring enough officers? Or can they file any type of lawsuit?
Welcome to the People's Republic of Chicago. If we could trade Shortshanks for Kim Jung Il, at least we would have transparency in this totalitarian political cesspool.
The old Soviet Pravda had more credibility than local Chicago media.
I predict that in the "journalistic" tradition of Peter "Judas" Karl, Daley will again emerge unscathed by unpublicized yet damning facts.
Oh, the media might throw the Stuttering Prick a few softball questions after he is thoroughly initiated on equivocation and specific damage control. This rotten muthafucker "owns" the local media.

At the risk of sounding elitist, we may be living in a nation of masochists and/or imbeciles. Chicago is already a lost cause--the inmates took over this asylum years ago.
God help us!
Even if CPD started hiring again the word is out.CPD is having massive problems trying to recruit people to this workers paradise.Even patronage type folks do not want cop jobs anymore,too much grief and BS nowdays.
I'm sorry, but as a private citizen I'm sick and fucking tired of everything being upside down. MORE public housing and no police. What is that? Just keep giving shit away and I pay for it.
Motherfuckers. Every single fucking one of them.
This issue is such a "PULITZER HOME RUN" served up on a platter by ANY REPORTER with 1/2 a brain.Unfortunately our BALLSLESS MEDIA would rather take the easy way out,and just talk to Pookie at a shooting.Did the MEDIA GIANTS all go to City Colleges or something?
Keep up the pressure SCC. Surely SOMEONE coming out of journalism school will have the courage and idealism to do some real journalism.
Some time ago on one of the threads someone stated that there are no real journalists anymore. They all sit at computers surfing the internet for tips and stories and then regurgitate on that. REAL reporters used to get out there on the street. They had sources, connections and they picked up on things as before they happened or were unfolding. At the time it sounded like whoever wrote that must have been a reporter or in the industry to make such an observation. And it makes sense. I think "reporters" have set themselves up to sit on their asses and have information come to them via email and internet. They've become lazy and self serving and use THIS job as a segue into a cushy political job later on down the road.
They all suck.

The projects are emptying out as we read these comments. Finally the city has begun tearing down the
buildings. Not that the PHU is not needed, but the jets are getting smaller and smaller and much easier to control. The schools on the other hand are getting out of control. A school unit is sorely missed and much needed. Chicago is setting themselves up for failure without some type of dedicated school unit. Wait until we have a Columbine here and the Mayor and Superintendent need to explain to the media why this was allowed to happen (manpower shortages, and how history was allowed to repeat itself. God Bless the Chicago Police. You are going to need it.

There can be no way that the media and the rest of the city cannot see the manpower shortage, but what the media reports and what the people think is controlled the Socialist Republic of Chicago.

I believe this person's crime was calling one such recruit a "stupid" (derogatory name, meant for his polish nationality), and then telling the recruit they were fired. Since that infamous day, I believe the number of people now stands at 17 who have stepped up and officially complained about this idiot and are in the midst of suing the living shit out of him and the City for the exact same CRIME.
This is what happens when the ignorant are promoted because they have friends. In this case, let's see the hammer continue to fall upward and smack his current benefactor (a D/S) right in the "head" as he so richly deserves for the moral sins he has also commited under the shield of the federal "buddy" system.
After that, it's just a short drop down to the newly promoted Chief who is also best buds with this same D/S, and who I might add is widely known for sexually harassing officers of the female persuasion.
Not one of these gold shitheads is without the sins necessary to bring them down if only the public knew.
We just need a few more blueshirts to grow enough ballhair to make it public.
It's a shame, only a few recruits had the balls to pull the cover off the asshole's shit.
Daley is trying to avoid these questions until this issue just goes away. Hopefully the Tribune will keep the heat on him.
We,the unwilling,led by the unknowing,are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.
We have done so much,for so long,with so little,we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
If it wasn't such a long quote this could be our new motto!
"Advice your families to sue and go public, this is now being documented"
More of the You Should Sue Bullcrap. Should they hire one of those Dirty Stinkng Scumbag Lawyers you assclowns continue to blather about?
While they're @ it have your family shit in one hand& wish in the other, that's how much success they'll have in suing the City.
So, when the crime rates get higher year after year because not enough coppers are on the street, then I guess everyone can blame Daley for it all and stop blaming the cops who bust their asses day after day to overcompensate for the vacancies of this department.
-------------------------------
doesn't make much difference what cops on the street do if the politicians refuse to lock up violent offenders and throw away the key.
criminals, their families, and supporters are a big power bloc politically. and they always vote for the same party.

Maybe!
There "MAY" be a clause in his contract that if he opens his mouth and speaks out of turn, his 3year contract is Null and Void and he does not pass go and collect $310,000 a year for 3 years!
That may be why he is acting like a lapdog for ShortShanks.
Every item he has talked about is in LIMBO (new cars, assault weapons, same guns for all, more manpower, re-align districts and beats, eliminate districts, etc, etc.).
He must realize by now that he is in charge of NOTHING.
He is just another Button Man for the Mayor, who spoon feeds him what, where and when to speak.
There Is No Machine In Chicago!
Yeah Right!
Stay Safe Brothers and Sisters,

Sorry to bring up a sore subject, but seriously if i were of the Francis family i would absolutely sue the city for thier blatant disregard to keep the police department staffed to safe levels that ultimately and directly led to the death of PO francis.

nothing shocking at the gas station. let them kill and shoot themselves. waiting for those row houses to be demolished.
Lets figure it out, get your calculators and think about which pocket you want to pull your change out of. The city doesn't have the money. Everything costs more. Your goofy characterizations that the politicians are walking away with the dollars that would save the department are overly simplistic and point a finger at your own ignorance. The good news is that more and more of us are retiring and living long enough to actually see a pension check. And the yearly cost of living increases to the pension benfits help. The bad news is nothing has been put in place to offset the increased benefits, not even since we had the first contract. So who pays? You could take Daley, Blago, Ryan, Thompson, and every alderman in the city and all the monies you've imagined them pocketting and still not offset the shortages labor contracts have left the city with.
Factor in the cost of the medical, costs of litigation, capital expenditures and operating costs of vehicles, fuel, maintainance of facilities, and an aging department where more coppers are inching up the pay scale and it should come as no surprise that you're short handed and in debt. So while a lot of us would like to be able to take our money and run to the burbs, who's left holding the bag?
There aren't any simple answers and there isn't any one cause to the problem.
But while the debate about the Department's problems and the lack of a contract continue, I still have to wonder how the Superintendent gets that fucking melon of a a head through the neck hole of a t-shirt. Either he's on steroids or his parents were circus people.
this is now being documented. Call Loevy and Loevy right away, time to turn the tables.

Could this be why the City's so Broke, and Daleys crying about money problems at Contract time again? Patrick Fitzgerald, are you following this? The taxpayers get screwed out of proper Police, Fire; Paramedic Service due to lack of hiring. CPD hardly EVER gets New, MODERN equipment to work with, and our job made more dangerous than ever because of this. What else can this sawed-off troll fuck up with his no-clue city management of tax dollars? When a law-abiding member of your family gets their brains beat in, killed, raped, or robbed, remember, we've got the "Bean" here in Shitccago.. Send letters of complaint to U.S. Dept. of Justice, U.S. Attorney, not City Hall. Please Mr. Fitzgerald, do something to help.
Daley's not King Shortshanks, He's King Jumbo Shrimp!!!!!
Back in the early 70's we were losing almost a cop a month. When Bob Wenzel was murdered in Jan of 73, police wives picketed City Hall. After that there was only two man cars after dark. It lasted for several yrs. Get Police wives, husbands, domestic partners, kids, parents - but NO COPS - to march around City Hall. Who cares if there are less cars to respond to 2 mutts killing each other, as long as the coppers are safe.

No new recruit classes till new ADS. State performance objectives and the CPD curriculm is being reviewed on 5th flr OF Hq. Boss is pissed that a civilian has been representing the Department at Il LE training and Standards board meetings and that MT has no idea what goes on at those meetings and didn't provide any guidance to said civilian (retired PO Joe M.).
New schedule insights: you will be losing furlough time. Working day furlough = 25 days under reg schedule, under new schedule they will convert this to 200hrs then have you use up 8.5 or 10hrs every v-day. This totals to 20days insted of 25days if you have 10hr schedule and 23.5days if you have 8.5hr sched. You lose 40hrs on 10hr sched and 12.5hrs on 8.5hrs sched. Not to mention burning an additional .5hrs everytime you use a BFD (total 3hrs for 6BFD's)on 8.5hr day or additional 2hrs (12hrs. for 6BFD's)on 10hr days. Plus you'll be burning 8.5hrs or 10hrs everytime you take comp time, instead of 8hr which was the rate you earned. So who's making out? Could it be the FOP or of course the City, making you use up your time for nothing in exchange. FOP further states that if pilot programs work out thay will stay in effect. Therefore the city designating the work day to be a 8.5hr or 10hr work day but only giving you 8hrs for v-days and BFD's. Smells like shit, if we give this up whats next? FOP members making Capts. pay to mastermind this shit that wil not affect them, nice.
Can't wait to see how Obama tries to talk his way out of his lifelong conections to the City of Chicago-Crook County, the most Corrupt political regime in the United States, per U.S. Dept. of Justice.
Get rid of CPD Cold Case Unit, who needs em, leave it to the Investigators in the County and State. We need Dicks to solve the dozens of Warm-Case Murders every week here in Chicago. Far more important priority, anyone in the country with a brain would realize that.

Isn't there a reporter out there somewhere who can add it all up? We have been spelling it out for you for two years. There is a serious manpower crisis on the CPD.
----------
Two years??? You're pathetic. Do it yourself and pass it on.
The city is federally funded to have 13500, right? If so where is the federal money going? New curbs for Daley family business? New Illegal aliens schools? Where is the loot?

Wrong, just because you got fired, and the CPD is down in manpower, doesn't mean we should hire goofs or lower standards and accept excuses as to why anyone can't do a simple sit up, or whine about everything in the academy you are supposed to do.
I am sure that the City of Chicago budgets or recieves money via federal grants or state funds to keep the CPD at full manpower. Since the CPD NEVER fills the department to full manpower, the city saves enough money right there, if people want to bitch about our benefits. Thats why so many police are detailed out. The City has always tried to do more with less. The City of Chicago will never be at 13,500 but yet it will continue to be budgeted for 13500, thus it diverts the rest of the money else where. And I am guessing the CFD is the same way. There should be more than enough money to take care of these departments via FED grants and state funds.
AND, MARK DONAHUE IS ANY BETTER!!!
Idea SCC...pick a day, any ordinary day. Post late at night when the next days sheets have already been posted, that readers email you what the manpower situation is in every district.
Have a standard format set up so it is easy to colate.
District -___
Watch ____
Early 10-4 cars___ 10-99 cars___
Late 10-4 cars___ 10-99 cars___
Rapids 10-4 cars___ 10-99 cars___
Wagons ______

Another idea, post the phone numbers of the aldermen, and when readers find out that their gang teams are working in other districts call. Post the reaction, with quotes.
there usually someone from FOP at all city council meetings.
Is there any way we could all post how may '99 cars per watch per district occur on a "Daley" basis?
We have been extremely lucky with all the '99 units prowling the streets that nobody to my knowledge has been injuried or killed as a result of the lack of manpower.
The smoke and mirrors of getting rid of Public Housing Unit, and the School Patrol Unit, and purging HQ in order to place more officers on the streets has been a success!!! Seems since we have gotten rid of those units that all you hear is of all the problems occuring at the schools and projects.
Who's bright idea was this.
9/27/2008 12:32:00 AM
Extremely lucky? Please tell me you are being sarcastic! Apparently you have already forgotten about P.O. Richard FRANCIS, murdered as a 99 unit.
Daley says that the lack of police in no way endangers the public. Maybe he's right. with TWENTY TWO personal guards he's perfectly safe.
Tell us this, Shortshanks.
Barring ne'er-do-wells without career options and the politically connected, who in their right mind would want to become a member of the clout-infested Chicago Police force?
A nice Sunday front page expose on how citizens are in danger due to de-policing would be nice. This would really increase newspaper sales too.

mANY DISTRICTS HAVE IN EXCESS OF 140,000 POPULATION being served by less than 15 POs at any given time. A lot of calls made by Mr. Citizen, no one is coming. Po's can't trust the backup. Not that the officers won't come, but there are too few coming from too far away when it matters.
Daley Lied Headline is correct on Saturday Daley tells reporters That not hiring police does not affect public safety. I know he is a politican but this mans ability to straight out lie is amazing.
DO NOT PUT YOUR SAFETY AT RISK. Daley and the city council have refused to properly staff the police department. Do not get injured or killed for this city. Wait for proper back up. Give the citizens the response they deserve. Write them a report for everything take your time. We are short hundreds of officers and have been without a contract for 15 months the politicans are the reason crime is up and people are dying. Give the city 8 hours of work dont give them you health or welfare.

Here's some sage advice. File a grievance. If the grievance is settled to your satisfaction, no further action is required.
Now here is the big IF:
If the grievance is not properly settled SUE THE CITY/DEPT. Contact Loevy/Loevy.....they love this kind if work.
Chicago - It costs taxpayers $221,000 over the lifetime of each student who drops out of school, according to an analysis using U.S. Census and Illinois data done at Northeastern University. Dropouts pay lower taxes compared to high school graduates, collect more unemployment, welfare and food stamps, and go to prison at higher rates.
BTW...how is that text message program working out? lol
Command changes coming soon!
Daley can't mutter anything that makes sense other than "silly" and "cuckkoo". Why is he still our mayor?
Hey Mayor, I have a dead tree on the "city side" in front of my house. I called 311 three times, went to the alderthief's office to no avail, all within the last 8 months. If the dead tree was in front of your place it would be gone in a New York minute, oh wait, that's New York. This is Shitcago, Crook Co, IL home of NObama and Blago-boy, soon to be indicted.

Any other great moves by this God-awful mayor?

"All you guys are going to get laid off," said Daley, laughing. "You have an economic crisis, you have a debt you have to figure this out."
He laughs at this.....laughs at them and laughs at us.What an arrogant little prick.
You know the more we see the more we see how brilliant Daley was for hiring J-Fed...J-Fed is an overly ambitious, step on whom ever you have to to get to the top, all out for himself, and a legend in his own mind, police wanna be...
Every officer needs to research his antics in the FBI and in particular those toward SA Wright. SA Wright wrote a memo warning of the impending attack on 9/11 months before it occurred. Frustrated with the FBI's inability to prevent 9/11 even though they knew it was coming, Wright went to Congress and the public about his concerns. Weis was one of the dogs they unleashed on this guy to punish him for speaking out against the FBI. One article listed the following:
Wright listed several major failures of the FBI. They include
* lack of high-quality managers and modern computer technology;
* failure to modernize investigative objectives to deal with the new terrorist threat;
* too many investigative violations;
* incompetent managers not held accountable for their mistakes;
* an internal affairs unit that was "bias[ed] and unfair" to whistle-blowers and others;This is our buddy J-Fed,,,,
* criminal conflicts that have "contributed to the preventable deaths of American citizens";
* FBI duplication of the investigative jurisdictions of other federal law enforcement agencies such as the DEA and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
J-Fed, you've neither the integrity nor the fortitude to do the right thing. Please leave Chicago and more importantly the CPD to heal itself..

Fuck off pussy. Sign your name to this bull shit. Tobias fired cowards, and cheating PPOs. And one moran so stupid, he can't even read the state manual on firearms training. Oh, and another lazy 20 soemthing, year old that can't even do 37 or so sit ups. If this is the standard that the academy and Tobias sets, and you want blood, your just as useless.
Tobias is the ONLY exempt with a clue on this job right now with the balls to stand up to J fed and the "policy group".
Weiss just needs to hold his own damn news conference and say it how it is out here for all of you.
We need many more officers out here. It poses a threat to our peace officers as well as our community with this shortage.
Politicians also need to enforce tougher gang and gun laws, get rid of illegal aliens in our state and let be tougher out here instead of security guards.
Was just watching the channel 5 10pm newscast and they are reporting that Restko is ready to talk to the feds about blagoadick.

Off topic:
Actor Paul Newman died, as I hate to speak ill of the dead, my response would be to have P/O Daniel Faulkner meet him at the pearly gates and kick the shit out of him.
The Fraternal Order of Police National Delegation in attendance, voted unanimously to begin a boycott of persons, products and companies associated with the supporting of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. In case you don't know, he was convicted in the 1981 killing of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner under overwhelming evidence.
The F. O. P. has announced the formal boycotting of the following:
Actor Paul Newman, and his products (an outspoken supporter of the killer).

Want to put more heat on Daley? Here is how. RAPS. Tell the press about RAPS. When your district has over a 100 jobs in a RAP call the Tribune news desk at 312-222-3540. When jobs are 6 hours old call 312-222-3540. If the citizens only knew ?????
Lets hope that the CPD does not have to wait until four officers are murdered to stop the 99 units. Officer Richard Francis-R.I.P. was more than enough forever.
After 4 Philadelphia PO's were murdered this year, the PPD is finally going to all 10-4 units.
Is there any way we could all post how may '99 cars per watch per district occur on a "Daley" basis?
be careful what you wish for the powers that be will retaliate and put an order out of no 99 cars on 3rd and 1st watch, so you know what that means, no time due.. the only time due that will be mandatory will be FLSA according to the lawsuit
Some time ago on one of the threads someone stated that there are no real journalists anymore. They all sit at computers surfing the internet for tips and stories and then regurgitate on that. REAL reporters used to get out there on the street. They had sources, connections and they picked up on things as before they happened or were unfolding. At the time it sounded like whoever wrote that must have been a reporter or in the industry to make such an observation. And it makes sense. I think "reporters" have set themselves up to sit on their asses and have information come to them via email and internet. They've become lazy and self serving and use THIS job as a segue into a cushy political job later on down the road.
sounds like a big chunk of our detectives...

Back in the early 70's we were losing almost a cop a month. When Bob Wenzel was murdered in Jan of 73, police wives picketed City Hall. After that there was only two man cars after dark. It lasted for several yrs. Get Police wives, husbands, domestic partners, kids, parents - but NO COPS - to march around City Hall. Who cares if there are less cars to respond to 2 mutts killing each other, as long as the coppers are safe.

This retiree is brilliant.
Now, is the time to put together a March on City Hall, before the Nov. Elections and while the IOC is still selecting their city.
This will get national media attention in Obama's hometown.
We just have to organize it and have your kids,parents,siblings,Grandparents,friends,sympathizers,relatives,etcetra march for two hours. I will take my kids out of school for this. I want them to have a Mom, I don't intend on being murdered working alone with no backup because of the manpower shortage.
The Mayor and the politicians won't take us seriously until we UNITE and march at City Hall.
Having our relatives march is a great idea and will get results.
Retirees are welcome!
I've said it before; I'll say it again. To increase manpower and help stem street crime:
- reduce or elimate TRU and distribute the manpower to the 10 busiest districts.
- eliminate saturation and area gun and gang teams; send them back to their districts to fully staff gang/tact/patrol beats. The area dep. chief job should be administrative only, supporting and assisting his district commanders to get them what they need.
- no traveling road show for gang/tact unless a citywide emergency. Gang and tact teams shouldn't be sent to other districts for routine patrol, to guard school dismissals, etc. If the districts were up to manpower standards, this wouldn't be necessary.
- reduce specialized units in bureau of investigative service. They are way too heavy with manpower. Patrol is the backbone and needs the people; put them there.
- promote 100 detectives; 250 sergeants, 30 lieutenants; 10 captains.
- reduce the caps/community policing personnel or assign them to respond and handle quality of life jobs like LAPD does. They can handle the parkers, pissiers and drinkers so patrol can do police work.
- scrap these bullsht missions and event numbers. They're a joke. This is what the press needs to look into, this smoke & mirrors shit.
- negotiate a decent contract asap.
- implement a decent work schedule, whatever it is. Enough with the bullshit pilot programs. Make a decision.
- screw the car cameras, tahoes, gps etc. Concentrate on the basics. Let's get new modern radios, pdts in all the cars, new cars, etc. It's called infrastructure.
- Hire 500 to 750 recruits asap. More cops on the street equal less crime.
- If you're going to put heavy weapons on the street, do it. Let's get shotguns and rifles out there NOW. Not next year or the year after. Have you, J Fed, been looking at the number of police shootings his year? Maybe not because you were worrying about the power test.
- J Fed, quit surrounding yourself with a policy unit that has less street time than a patrolman about to retire at full benefits. What could they know other than how to kiss your ass. A get some top bosses in there who know how to run a big city police department because you don't.
- And the next time, J Fed, we, the working police, see you in uniform you had better be walking a beat or humping calls.

Cute.
What you're saying is, is that the 'powers that be' will respond to an officer safety issue by attempting to characterize it as a choice between being denied time due and riding solo, right? As in either accept the higher risk or they'll fuck up your off duty plans.
Management mentality at it's finest.
Thanks for posting, asshole.

Let it happen, even with all Comp. Time denied there is no way in Hell that they could man more than 75% of all the beat cars as 10-4 units.
I think that the Mayor and JFed should call Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey and find out what happens when you keep manpower low and keep putting out 99 units.
I hear the PPD is boiling over...

Hey Mr. Citizen, You're assuming they can read in the 1st place. They don't need this blog, they Know more about our operations just from being on the street& interacting w/us. They see how infrequent squad cars patrol their drug tip& how non proactive we've become. Get Real& strap up if you're in fear of the predator

Obviously, you are a 3510 house mouse exempt if you believe that criminals might find out about this. You Fucking Idiot, they know, they know, they know...
The city is up for grabs, they are using or attempting to use deadly force on us like never before and they already have free reign.
Either you are truly out of touch or this was the worst spin attempt I have ever seen in my career.

The answer is, is that he reads this blog and is scared shitless. The other possible answer is, is he is afraid to be on the street because he does not know how to use a gun. If this is true, it is really, really pathetic...we've got a scaredy cat running the show...and you're right, why should WE run 99 in the worst neighborhoods in the city? Let J-Fed come out alone to 11 or 15, or wherever as a ride-along!!! Too scared!!! He only goes from home to 35th St. and back. Wonder if he lays down in the back seat???

Remember our brother from 019 First WAtch on 02 July?
"...a policy unit that has less street time than a patrolman about to retire at full benefits."
or more accurately- the same amount of actual street time as someone about to earn a working day furlo.....
Proof of what the Obama DemoRats seek:
6th Ward Alderman Freddrenna Lyle used public money to pay for her subscription to People's Weekly World, a newspaper of the American Communist Party. Lyle says she bought the subscription after she was honored by the group for her support of the Living Wage ordinance in 2006. Lyle tells Fox News she will reconsider using taxpayer funds to pay for a newspaper espousing a particular political view
YOUR TAX DOLLARS IN ACTION, COMPLIMENTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC=[communist] PARTY.
Defeat Communism, VOTE REPUBLICAN !!!!!!!!!
could've started law school in august on a generous-ass scholarship. Why I still am yearning for this job, someone will have to explain it to me.
oh well, Go Cubs!!

Easy, kid, the answer is : Go be a Fireman! Fuck this job, you got to be nuts to want this shit!
- And the next time, J Fed, we, the working police, see you in uniform you had better be walking a beat or humping calls.

Amen ROSCO, amen!
However, I'd tell Judas Fed NOT to put on our uniform, ever! He hasnt earned it!
I would also like to add: Stop promoting usless hacks that have never been the police. Now we have a group of individuals making decisions about how we do our job, that haven done our job in the first place.
f their are no recruits in the academy, WTF are all the instructors doing everyday???
Does anyone from the academy want to fill us in?
ALL 20 or so left are teaching the 160+ in there now moron......

You're a nutball...you'll fit right in on CPD. For God's sake, run!
reduce or elimate TRU and distribute the manpower to the 10 busiest districts.
You can't, if they are detailed they go back to the district they came from, if they are assigned they can send them somewhere but they will be able to bid right out; that's why we have this thing called a contract. How about a little peer pressure on your fellow workers who advocate staying down on bs jobs and dogging it all day, sitting in the hole watching dvds, making the rest of us work harder handling their beats etc, that alone would do wonders for backlogs. I do like some of your other ideas.
because HIS media corps understands silly and cuckoo. thats why.
waiting 2 1/2 yrs ?? something is wrong the with you or your recruiter. Best advice - further your law career. you'll be just as good a po as a lawyer. Or are you waiting for that to?
Positive side. Shortshanks flunked also. Now he's ?????

Nothing like two exempts agreeing on something is there???
"THEY WILL NOT HAVE ANY NEW RECRUITS TILL THERE WILL BE A NEW ADS. M.T. IS IN VERY BIG TROUBLE AND THIS IS NOT A RUMOR EVEN THE MAYOR CANNOT HELP HIM ANYMORE. HE SCREWED UP BAD BY FIRING MANY GOOD RECRUITS."
So-every now and then 'someone' posts a letter crabbing at M.T.firing the 'good recruits' and some of them refer to a disagreement over situp or the recruit flunking out because he wasn't doing them right or enought of them I think it's the same recruit over and over. I think he is Chalkie's distant cousin:
Crunchie!
My kid saw something on the internet this week. She didn't know whether it was a hoax or real. It says that the government has started training troops for martial law. Anyone heard anything legit about this?
9/27/2008 09:07:00 AM
It's not a hoax:

Several articles on the internet clearly indicate their mission is to deal with civilian unrest.
I'd worry less about "obama" riots and worry about what's going to happen if the ecomomy really tanks-it appears the current administration is preparing for the worst. What if the bailout doesn't work?
Hey Paranoidaman!
"New schedule insights: you will be losing furlough time. Working day furlough = 25 days under reg schedule, under new schedule they will convert this to 200hrs"
And that 200 does convert to 20 -ten hours days but count it out on a calendar before you spread wild rumors! you have more days off rdo so just count it out like a wd furlough but use 10 horus at a time. I must have counted it out for every furlough segment/period in 2008 and it works out to be the same time period. In one or two period there was an extra day.
and- you use 40 hrs now between your two weekend to get 11 days off for a Baby furlough- in the ten hours schedule- you use the same 40 hrs and get 12 days off because the weekends are four days long- also- you have more oppountunties to take the baby furloughs- current schedule- two weekends every 6 weeks- let oportunities per year- new schedule, three weeks every four weeks- many more opportunities to take a BF!
Use the fop calendar!

Did not know Newman was a supporter. That breaks my heart. Hopefully this piece of shit dies in prison. I think Woody Harrelson, and a bunch of other Hollywood idiots support him as well. I just read a book about the case. Let us NEVER FORGET!!!

True tru is useless, put the kids back in districts so they can help! Come on boss the kids went to college studied drinking and doing nothing and ended up here on this no place going nowhere job!
ALL 20 or so left are teaching the 160+ in there now moron......
9/28/2008 02:29:00 PM
Moron? Pull out your crayola and paper, count how many recruits are in the academy. ***There are LESS THAN 130*** And there is MORE than 20 instructors (Not including in-service)!
Learn how to do simple math! This way you dont come off as the condesending dick head that you truly are!
I graduated college 3 years ago worked my ass off in school, work for an engineering firm, make $130,000 a year plus $50,000 bonus, live in the burbs new home, off weekends, great benefits! Thought about cpd but then said it is for dummies! Would be a waste of school and my family life would be fucked up like many here. Should of studied harder and put mind to the books kids not to the booze! Oh and my wife has no reason to work, we had twins great school prospects away from that city "murder capitol" Chicago.
I guess we need to take this to the logical end. If fewer cops won't impact our safety, then fewer politicians shouldn't impact city services. Maybe the mayor and city council should resign, we won't elect anyone new, and Chicago will be a perfect city! (now that I think about it, it's a great idea!)
Just seen JFed ride to the academy today in a caravan 3 cars in front of the blk Suv and 2 cars in back... And they expect us to ride by ourselves?
9/27/2008 03:04:00 AM
Is this true or exaggeration? Why is JFed so paranoid all of a sudden. This is more than bizzare, Matt Rodriguez,Terry Hillard and Phil Cline all wouldn't think twice about driving 99.

Could some media hype with balls report this? We have officers on midnights working alone and our boss has a whole army of body guards. Shortshanks and Burke does ,too. Why does Burke need a posse? And there is no money for cars, radios, PO's. This regime is nuts and
Daley is driving us to hell with him.

You didn't work too hard in your English/Grammar classes. It's obvious you are not a product of a Catholic School.
