Question on GPS
Are they GPS-ing all the coverts from Narcotics, Gang Intel and Vice?
After all, those police are the ones carrying no ID, no visible signs of office, maybe a hideaway gun not easily accessible (or no gun at all), and no radio? Aren't those the cops most likely needing to be found when the crap hits the fan?

Hi people, Missy here,
I carry a GPS so my husband knows were to find me while I am writing my parkers all day in the loop.
I do not carry a cell phone because it is a violation of our R/R' people.
Sometimes I am in alleys writing parkers. I want everyone know were I am with my own GPS.
My great uncle, Tom Byrne (rtd) told me our Mayor just wants to keep us safe with the departments GPS. I am so much out of my police car, writing and writing parkers that I hope my uncle Tom gives me a "Chip" I can put in my hair net so OEMC knows were I am at.
Please people,mostly female P.O.'s. if you are working do not park your police vehicle and shop.
No excuses ladies. We do not get paid to shop while getting paid. If you write over 500 parkrs a day, then I could say you are a worker like me and maybe can take a few minutes to shop.
Be safe people,
Missy- 1st. district parking ticket guru.
P/S/ Monday is here, I feel a big parking ticket day for me.
Show our beloved mayor we care, write a 100 or MORE. He will love us more then ever.
Nah, they should be GPSing all the bosses, aldermen, and top people at City Hall. They are potential targets of terrorism, so it's important to know where they are, right?
GPS WILL NEVER APPLY TO THE CLOUT UNITS.GPS WILL ONLY BE USED TO FUCK OVER NON-CLOUT COPPERS.
Remember GPS can be used to tell how fast you were going when Pookie crashed into the "el" structure and you were just following him. It can also tell who was anywhere nearby when June Bug did the same thing. No more chases, no more being proactive. GPS=ghetto protective service.
Missy-Unfortunately I work in 11,,There are NO places to shop,,,,or eat...or buy coffee....or
Wait, it's not GPS, it's AVL: Automatic Vehicle Liability.
GPS would be a great asset to narcotics.

Missy, don't worry about your husband. I'll take care of him.
Everything hits patrol. Stupid as hell because we are the most visible in the uniform and blue and white car. I feel like I work in Beijing.
You would think.
Great time for GPS too!
It's gonna be winter soon, time for the annual "Movies In A West Side Park".
That right! I'll hunker down in some trash ridden park, blast the heat & enjoy some of the finest cinema offered on my portable DVD player!
Don't be "confrused" with the gamers take of my event with their own "PSP In A West Side Park".
But soon we'll be able to relax, summer is gonna be gone & the West Side is gonna freeze over.
Note to Chalkie... don't interrupt my movie, dammit!
Actually the covert cars in narcotics/ vice already are equipped with gps and have been for some time. Wheteher or not the bosses check up on these outstanding(sarcasim) police officers is a different story.
I work in Narcotics. I have to agree with SCC's question.
The reason being given out for GPS is safety. Nobody is in more danger than buy officers from Narcotics. I have had drug dealers, middlemen, and hypes in my covert when going to make a buy. There have been many times when I didn't have a gun and my only means of communication immediately accesible was my personal cell phone.
Surveillance has never lost me when I have been mobile but, it could happen. I doubt Narcotics will get GPS because of all the leased cars.
This veteran officer has been asking Fireman and Streets & San guys about GPS. I've asked them how its works and how its used.The citys reason for having GPS is possible. Then you look at how GPS is used and the only conclusion is for jamming up Police Officers. There is no board being watch with every police car on a grid. The GPS takes about two minutes to locate you after a dispatcher call is made. Two minutes in a safety emergency equals death in our job!!!!!!
Suck it CPD brass!!!!!!! The smoke and mirrors being used doesn't cut it. The city, judges, and asa's don't trust us and The citizens hate us!!!!!!!!
That is why GPS is being used.
I'm still waiting to hear that the mayor's bodyguard detail is equipped with GPS, as well as his personal city owned vehicle.
The people who pay for it want to know where the top executive is spending his time and our tax dollars. Could it be in Michigan?
Thanks Missy, I almost forgot to hit Costco before my Friday!
WHERE ARE ALL MY DOTS. CAN U JUST SEE THE BOSSES HUDLED IN A ROOM LOOKING AT THE SCREEN. TILL THEY SEE THEIR LITTLE HONIES PARKED FOR HOURS WITH STUD BEAT BOY AT THE LOCAL PARK UNDER A SHADY TREE, LOVE TO BE A FLY ON THE WALL THEN.
They should but they can't, the City doesn't own most of the coverts, in fact they don't own any of them, they lease them and adding or altering the vehicle from its state as it was leased would violate the terms of the lease and then the city would have to purchase the vehicle....You know how that one would go!
Lighten up people, folks too.
GPS is here for whatever reason; it will not go away. As someone else stated, do your job and there is little to worry about. If they want to gig you for something they will, with or without GPS.
Having said that, every city vehicle should have it, or none should. The installation should begin with the people at the top and work it's way down. I know asking the city leaders to lead by example is asking a lot, but it would go a long way towards establishing credibility.
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE CITY CARS ISSUED TO EVERYONE & THEIR BROTHER IN ALL THE DIFFERENT CITY AGENCIES. I GUESS THEN WE TAX PAYERS WOULD GET A GOOD PICTURE OF THE CARS GOING TO MICHIGAN OR OTHER WEEKEND GET-AWAYS.
Please....
They should put the GPS in the NAGIS cars just to count the daily violations the people rack up in those cars.
Having been there, I can tell you, there are many, many scholarship officers there, and they are there just for the car. I have seen people make phone calls to their clout because they did not like the car they were given, and then when they got a car, they used it outside of the scope of their duties.
They use it to take the kids to school; to run errands, go outside of the city and visit family, all sorts of non-police, non-NAGIS stuff. The people with the mini vans, they are the worst; they use these things to pick up lumber, drywall, whatever the project is. Hell, they really should look into the HDO hacks, and how some of them use the "covert" min-vans to transport people, kid of like the ‘Pilsen Blue Line Taxi Service’, it is incredible. Trust me when I tell you that this is not somebody crying over spilled milked. The abuse is rampant, and it costs a lot of money.
Again, it is not all, just some, maybe 30%, but WTF, they do it b/c they have clout, and those are the ones that fuck it up for everyone. If you know a former co-worker who is in NAGIS ask them about, off the record of course, but ask them. They will concur with my story. Again, let me state that it is not all, but probably about 30%, and the abuse is so bad it warrants a closer look.
And look into the LT who likes to referee football games in Indiana with his "company car”. I know he is a NAGIS LT who is subject to "call out" but just do not call him out until after he completes the 4th quarter of the latest high school game of the week.
Install GPS for that - do not say you can not because the cars are leased, that is just pure BS. Or install them for the actual good thought that came up in the original post – Officer Safety. Truly, the nature of the job, the fact that you are always someplace unfamiliar, and the people you deal with, these are cars that truly do need the Officer Safety Monitoring Device installed.
What say you, J-fed?
daley already refused GPS or AVL or whatever u call it
wft ! The animal abuse team want's take home cars are you kidding me !!
There are no plans to put GPS in any coverts. I heard that on Friday from someone within the unit that is responsible for coordinating the installations.

Bingo!!We have a winner!
GPS is just aprt of the technology that will be used to micro-manage coppers and fuck with them.
Another bullshit Pax 501. If J-Fed was really concerned about officer safety, he would get us new radios with GPS locators. Once you're out of the car, the bullshit car locator means shit! This is an abba-dabba smoke screen to increase Rule 14 violations: Where did you say you were officer?

who is paying for this gps stuff. according to the stuttering mic we are in the hole 420 million. the police dept survived over a hundred years without gps,caps,doc zones, tazers, in car cameras, violence zones, bullshit missions, etc... i might be a little long in the tooth, but making an arrest still involves you getting out of the car and slapping the cuffs on stupid. that will never change. if they have the money to buy all this fancy bs they better also have a raise in mind commensurate with the skyrocketing rate of inflation and domestic price index.

I agree hey j-fed you state in the pax 501 all the bosses are getting gps first (Like anyone will monitor them lol), immediately call eddie burkes,the mayors fleet,the treasurers (who is that anyway another waste of a fleet of d-3 officers), and the rest gps so you can have the fed buddies watch them you know kind of like what was done with Cozzi!

So I guess that confirms it!!!!! TRU is NOT, I repeat, NOT a clout unit. I personally have been given a GPS car to drive. I'm so glad that the haters have been silenced!
Have they worked out the kinks in the GPS system. I recall that last year when they were installed in the k9 units that the only way your radio would transmit and the citywide was able to understand your transmission was if the officer shut off the car and you stepped away from the vehicle.
I want to thank the 012 for sending us that nut case Sgt AB to 014
Missy, your first couple of posts might have been slightly amusing, but now you are just obnoxious and repetitive as it appears that you have nothing new or clever to add. Please stop.
NO but they are gpsing all the cars in 011 becuase ,you know that district is such a hotbed of scandal. The cars go all over the city and get caught doing home invasions etc. Its a good thing all the cars citywide have the cameras installed so they can catch those 11th district guys roaming in 25.Another dog&pony show another media hype event another half assed install for the rev meeks appeasement group.By the way what politician has links to kansas city?
GPS my fucking ass. If there is a way to fuck GPS I will figure it out.
I hope my asshole sergeant breaks his fucking neck trying to keep track of me driving in circles. I will make his had turn around more than Linda Blair in the Exorcist.
I'd like to see his face peering into that pimp ass PDT when he discovers me following him around.
If there is a way to fuck the system you can bet your fuck around money that a Chicago copper will find it. See you at OTB.
Holy GPS ME Batman!!!
Fair is fair. GPS the exempts too. And that silly, silly, sillier mayor.
You are a Joke J-fed!!! Picking up where Charlie Williams Left off. Rehire Him that way both of you can finish screwing this Dept. over. After all he is the God Father of how to fck over the police.
By the way, nobody is buying into this bullcrap of "Officer safety".
FYI Officers in westside districs have recovered high powered weapons off the street as well as responded to shooting's involving high powered rounds.
Officer saftey would be installing the racks for the M-4's that the Dept. already has and allow the Officers that are already qualified to begin carrying these weapons.
Or, how about buying technology that can help us identify criminals better, or some high speed surveillance equipment?
Oh no, this city is spending money on trying to find ways to hold officers accountable.
you know what, fuck buying this high speed gear! Give us Radios, working cars, or a PDT that works. In case you did not know our every day radios don't work for shit!!!
I am amazed how quick you have Placed GPS in 90% of patrol, tact and gang cars in 011. WOW These people where knocking them out left and right. Thank's a lot for sending that kiss ass Bitch Sergeant who was in charge of overlooking the operation. She was a real bitch to everybody who she had to interact with while in 011. At one point even related that she was there on behalf of J-Fed and that she would get a CR on the WC and the Dist. Commander if she had too.
I guess you found somebody who does like you, huh, J-Fed.
THIS JUST IN" ALL ALDERMEN HAVE VOTED TO HAVE THEIR DNA SAMPLES SUBMITTED TO A NATIONAL DATA BANK. THIS IS A GOOD WILL GESTURE TO HELP PROMOTE DNA COLLECTION FROM ALL CITY EMPLOYEES. 75% OF THE ALDERMEN HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE SAMPLE BE TAKEN FROM THEIR A$$ WITH EXTRA LONG SWABS. COLLECTION WILL BE DONE LIVE ON CLTV. "THAT IS ALL"
Cook County Board was so impressed by the aldermen gestures that they overwhelmingly agreed to submit to anul swabbing on National TV not to out do the City. Todd S. and Beavers have agreed to be the first in line and a additional follow up swabbing at the end. "THAT IS ALL"
thank God im on the bikes
GPS and the in-car video cameras are child play compared to the DNA sample that is being talked about to collect from officers. The two items mentioned are technology which if you quit bitching about, learn to make it work for your advantage.
The DNA on the other hand scares the shit out of me. You would have to be a complete fucking moron to submit your gene pool to the federal database.
As I talked about this today with other coppers, us old timers who have been at dozen and dozens crime scenes over the past 25 plus years may have left our DNA at a scene. I would expect a call from the cold case squad sometime after I had retired saying they found my match at a scene. Do you think me or you would remember what the fuck happened years ago. Would they think I and/or you had anything to do with this crime? Can't rule it out.
As far as putting GPS in coverts, hang tight, I'll post an answer in the next few days if my source gives it
up.
I'm a foot man. So if they want to GPS me they can stick it up my Ass.

It's not really Missy stupid. I'ts someone mocking her.
If Narcotics doesn't get GPS its crime and will show what a fraud the idea of selling it to us as officer safety is. I've worked as a buy officer and surveillance officer and there is no place it would be a better fit. My bet is most guys doing anything with undercover buys would welcome it. Officer safety is the most important thing.
I don't care if most cars are leased cars. Figure out a way to do it and put them in.
The kicker of this whole thing is that the GPS/AVL has to be synched with your PDT. That being said, how many of us have a PDT in the first place??

I agree TRU is not a clout unit. It is just a useless unit.
Every GM car comes with standard with ONSTAR, and you get the service for free for a year. Isn't that exactly the same as an aftermarket GPS tracker, I believe so. So assume every department car all ready has it built in. Whether the City choses to pay for the service after first year, thats another story.
But don't B.S. us, thats it's for officer safety, otherwise every supervisor in NAGIS should have access, to make sure his UCO's are OK when making buys...
POOF... MORE SMOKE...MORE MIRRORS.

FUCK YOU
We could certainly use these expensive tools on investigating the bad guys instead of us.
The newer radios already have this. Even with the older radios the triangulation method of using the signal strength of three towers will give you a rough location within 100 yards. I was talking to a tech at one of our emergency towers. He said triangulation was the only reason some of those old transmitters are still in service.

Earlier today they took two cars from 020 to A1 to install GPS.

Evewn if you do not pay after the first free year the on star gps can still pinpint your position if the government needs the info!
My regular car has been in the shop for over 2 months (thanks for wrecking the car 1st watch!!) - no pool cars available. We've had other cars running 4 deep in a sergeants car because there are no cars.
GPS? I'll be glad when I have something with 4 wheels that runs!

No no no you got it all wrong. Have you been in 011 lately?? It is filled with these young, aggressive, "by the book" coppers.
The only scandal in 011 or potential scandal was rid of by none other than the blog's hero Captain Harte. Those idiots (AKA: Cowboy boots and his rolley-polley partner, disgraced Black water member, and last but not least "the Perjurer") had there happy asses DUMPED to 008 and 023. So save your breath FILLMORERANGER....you sire, are an ASSHAT!
.....By the way...aren't you the "Fillmoreranger" that graced this blog some time ago being PRO Department, Pro J-Fed, Pro-left wing gun-grabbing lunatic, Pro EVERYTHING THIS BLOG IS AGAINST! Go F*ck yourself. You must be a SOUTH-SIDER!
Are the dispatchers going to dispatch by our global position? We will really get screwed if that happens!
Heard on Zone 12 3rd watch (dispatcher Cynthia Crawford... no not THAT Cynthia...)
'I can't WAIT til ya'll get those GPS's in yor cars!'
Took a good 5 minutes for the air to settle down after that bright statement....

I say this:
" Sometimes I wear sunglasses at night and forget my pistol in the lock box. I don't monitor the radio and drive by calls of shots fired eating a big crispy cream and drinking my latte' I forgot to turn on my radio on or i'm on the wrong zone. My job is very dangerous. If a hot mamasita is on my left left Iforget to look to the right. I have 4 department crashes in less than two years. "
You make your own misery sucka!
