Beat Realignment - Here?
For 20 years, police superintendents have been promising to re-draw the boundaries of Chicago's 281 police beats to accommodate shifting crime patterns and population changes.
It never happened.
Instead of touching off a political war between black and Hispanic aldermen who believe their high-crime wards have been shortchanged and white aldermen who won’t tolerate a reduction in police services, Mayor Daley chose the path of least resistance. He formed a Targeted Response Unit that temporarily redeployed officers to crime “hot spots.”
With police hiring slowing to a crawl and Chicago homicides outpacing New York and Los Angeles, Police Supt. Jody Weis vowed Friday to deliver on a promise made and broken by at least four of his predecessors: beat realignment.
“They haven’t been moved around since 1978. That’s three decades of people making empty promises. Nothing against my predecessors, but at some time, you’ve got to look at a problem and say, ‘I know I can’t make every one of the 50 aldermen happy, but we have to make sure we have the right resources in the right locations,’ ” Weis said.
And the Districts which had to supply bodies to cover point A in the first place, are now covering the same amount of space with even less bodies than before. If we had 13,000 blue shirts, this wouldn't be an issue, and it actually wasn't an issue a decade ago when we had 12,000+ blues. We aren't anywhere near that now and haven't been for years.
The Tribune also covers this.

Make 016 Central to Park Ridge and Foster to Niles/Park ridge!!! Everything else in this city is GHETTO!!! Give me 50 ex-153 guys who want to be here and you'd see crime in 016 drop to near NOTHING!
The bottom line daley ahs shorted cpd in many ways, but yet the moron still has a huge security detail to protect his coward ass! If you have that many gun toting people around you no fear is expected! The other day they took beat 811 from 52nd and Nashville sent them all the way over to Oakley, yea boss beat realignment will work! Lets short all the tax payerrs and give more police to the ungovernable that could work! The alderidiots will not take a stand from the weak eddie burke and the rest! Hey eddie take a break from your idiotic anti-talking on phone in car bullshit and be a man and stand up! Your father Joe Burke RIP was a true leader what happened to you! Ed it is better to stand for something than be nothing! Hey mark eddie is your sponsor wake him up!
NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need some help in 016, Please!
Remember:
In life nothing is what it appears to be.
Nothing is legit.
Nothing is fair.
Everybody lies.
If you keep those expectations in life, you'll never be disappointed.
hey J-Fuck, I will work without a contract, I will work with your stupid ass liberal friends trying to fuck me while on-duty, but if you re-zone the area that I live in to give me even less police service, I will not do a thing for this fing city. Not only that, I will influence my friends to lay down as well. I'm still young (3yrs on da job) and want to work, but will do zero arrests in the ghetto and count the days until I can protect my home front.
They can change my beat boundaries but they can't make me actually do anything.
Looks like they are trying everything possible to justify J-feds salary..he took over and totally exemplified what is wrong with this dept.
Everyone knows that 10% of this dept. did 90% of the real police work!
These police know who we are...we were the SAME faces every morning at 26 and Cal...The same FACES!!! EVERY morning ..WE KNOW WHO WE ARE...
These were the cops that were f#cked with for making too much overtime..dumped from units because of a select few bad cops,put on BIS cause they made the sh#thead know he would be policed aggressively..
When you go to the sgts exam how many of these faces can you name...
When you look over the meritorious list how many of these are us!!!
They have meritoriously clouted us into submission..they have proven to us that as working police we were the fools....
Jody only confirmed this!!
Can you justify the meritorious promotions!
Name one of the real police that got promoted meritiously..can anyone!!!!NAME ONE?
Not asking for much..but jeez 20% meritorious promotions and we cant name ONE!!!
Not one That was deserving of meritorious!
THIS IS THE SLAP IN OUR FACE!
Now name how many working cops got sent to callback trying to aggressively work the streets...
bet ya got names now...
Now name the lazy do nothing who is probably gonna get meritorious...
Ya should have made meritorious for merit and we would have had a real police dept.
Jody was not the beginning he is just the end!
Jody has to go ..in my opinion he has lost our trust..like a wife who cheated..we can never really trust them again..
He can try anything but its already too late...he can give me a 40% raise and I will say thanks for the money but you cant be trusted!
BUT give me a meririous promotion for a person that I really respected...YOU might get a chance to gain our respect..
NAME ONE!!!asking all you bloggers out there!
Perhaps districts do need to be evaluated--30 years is a long time--but I would not trust that idiot J-Putz to have any clue as to how to do it.
He is a stupid, stupid creature.
OT:
Why in GOD's name was Ayers the Commie given a police escort 30 feet from his door to his car?
Did the media have guns trained on him?
For the love of Christ, now I have seen EVERYTHING!!!
What's next, a security detail outside HIS HOUSE???
We should be jumping up and down about this misuse of police manpower.
And all this caught on tape while ASSHAT is wearing a red commie star on his t-shirt!
See the footage on FOX news......
It won't matter how you remap the beats, there are just too many mission cars which do nothing.
Jody
You have not felt any heat yet, wait until you unveil the New Beat Alignment, which probably at least it should include removing some Districts and Command Spots. The Mayor will leave you out there all alone ass wipe. The aldercreatures will tear your ass up. Be truthful with the media, remember your Motto in the G. Fddelity Bravery , Integrity guess you left that all behind when you sold out to ShortShanks.
I have posted this here before, even if we had 13,000 which I doubt thaqt number with the relief factor figured in , those are the increase in days off, medicals, IOd etc, have risen so dramatically due to contractural agreements that the equivilent effect has been to actually reduce the number of bodies available each day to man the cars. That combined with the high number of bull shit units that have been formed also sucking bodies from patrol, and poor leadership in the field by the few supervisors on each watch has led to this shortage.
That being said the real problem is the failed leadership you have provided. You know knthing about real police work, you know less about how to lead the 2nd largest police department in the country.
Sure the men and women want new cars, new radios, better working conditions in general, Iam sure 2000 years ago the centurions stood around a fire griping about the same things, that is the nature of man, and of what we do. But you know what they really need?
A real leader, one who has there back through accomplishments and failures, One who recognizes real police work, and offers atta boys with real heart and helps pick you up when you have a failed decision. We do not expect to be honored for our actions we signed up to do the job, just dont beat us down and help the media, reverends, politicians and jag offs beat us up.
You have failed us. All you care about is looking up the Mayors ass after all he made you an offer you couldnt refuse. He is corrupt and had dragged you to his level. I dont think you are corrupt, i just think you are incompetent in this posistion. Retire will you you have accomplished nothing and never will. You continue to so more harm and NO GOOD.
Other departments don't have home invasion rings.
Other departments don't have officers drunk out of their minds, beating on citizens, then trying to use bribery and intimidation to silence victims and witnesses.
Other departments don't allow officers engaged in the commission of a crime to wave off other officers responding to the scene.
Other departments don't have public displays of favoritism and deference toward officers who commit crimes.
Other departments don't consider a thirty day suspension an appropriate "punishment" for manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide. Other departments wouldn't promote the offender.
The Chicago PD has no disciplinary process worthy of the name. Until it does, videos of beatings and shootings by Chicago police officers will be a staple of television news and the internet for the foreseeable future.
assuming the beats are aligned, who wants to bet that beats 2211 and 811 will suffer? these are two beats (on the southside) with a high concentration of city workers, taxpayers, and people who dont commit ANY crimes. we need to make beats 2211 and 811 smaller. alderman rugai and alderman zalewski are you listening???
BOTTOM LINE: IN WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY DON'T SLING DOPE ON THE CORNER & LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHILE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FALLS TO SHIT ARE ABOUT TO GET STRIPPED OF POLICE SERVICE. SO BURGALRIES & OTHER NON-VIOLENT CRIMES WILL SKYROCKET IN WHITE AREAS. IT'S A GOOD TIME TO BE A BURGLAR, HEAD STRAIGHT TO A WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE PICKINS ARE BETTER, AND THE POLICE WILL BE NO WHERE AROUND.....DIDN'T WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STRIP AN AREA OF POLICE SERVICE, FOR EXAMPLE, DURKIN PARK 2 SUMMERS AGO WHEN THE RESIDENTS CALLED POLICE OVER 40 TIMES & IT TOOK CARS FROM OUTSIDE UNITS TO RESPOND BECAUSE ALL THE POLICE WERE OVER "EAST." AND WHY DO THEY NEED TO REALIGN BEATS SO HIGH CRIME AREAGET BETTER COVERAGE? WE ALREADY SEND MOST OF OUR RESOURCES IN THE HIGH CRIME BLACK & HISPANIC NEIGHBORHOOD ANYWAY WHERE THEY GET THE MOST POLICE SERVICE & AT THE SAME TIME DON'T WANT YOU THERE?? ALD. IN THE WHITE AREA BETTER STAND UP...
A manpower shortage ? There has to be a way to get more people in the beat cars. Maybe its time for the hiring of (gasp) part timers ? Create an auxiliary force to ride with the full time POs ? Oh wait, no one is qualified to police the streets of chicago except full time POs trained by the city. Never mind that the suburbs do this. I guess chicago would rather wallow in crime than find alternative manpower solutions...
I was going to give the Superintendent a change, I did and now I form my opinion of him: "Bust Out"
Just so we're clear. What he's talking about is less coppers in 16,17,19,22
Even though we all know that if you look at the geographic boundaries in the sense of police officers per square mile, the areas where the people pay the HIGHEST TAXES are already Grossly under served
Shell game at its best. Aunt bea and J-FED ignored manpower and hiring. Instead used smoke screens; beat realignment, MSF, paperwork. They have one heck of a press corp to cover the real issues. Now attention will be on new beats. Then MSF will receive media attention. maybe the academy can design a training program for the timid officers on the street? I cannot believe the superintendent called street officers, "timid"! Great motivational speech. Now back to work for the taxpayers.
O.T. I see chalkie struck in 7 yesterday with a double. And chaulkie doesn't care about who your family is.
I still don't believe that it will happen.
so in reading between the lines, Daley will use the Supt. to make these changes look like they are his ideas or suggestions. Soon the Supt. will be gone and Daley does not have to take the political fallout because, after all, they are the Supt.'s changes.
Yes, a pack of trained roaming goons, that should keep those tax payers in line...
white aldermen who won’t tolerate a reduction in police services
Should read: "won't tolerate a FURTHER reduction in police services."
This is how they do things. Announce something else to defer you away from the real problem CRIME. And no police on the street. What a joke.
OT a poster said bill ayers called police for an escort because media was hounding him. did he call police? was it dispatched? did police explain the freedom of the press and 19p it?
Back in the day, the city had three beats that measured only only 1/32 of a mile in area--one in 002, another in 011 and then my beat: Beat 1010;
Beat 1010 was bounded by Douglas Blvd., Christiana, Trumbull and 16th St. You could park at the corner of 15th and Homan and see all four blocks in Beat 1010.
As a rookie, aside from radio assignments, my partner and I always stayed on our beat--until one night while driving in circles, I went insane.
Any chance 007 will get part of lincoln park? Im hungry!
The first thing that should be done is get rid 0f 25 unless aldermen. Now we would have money to hire more police officers. Vote all incumbents out of office.
Holy Seeking the Grail Batman!!!
J-Klown is on his way now to fuck with the political whores who brought this idiot to us. Pay back is due! Go Jody fuck them up too!
Go.Go. Goo......
Long before computers became ubiquitous, the CPD methodology in establishing beat boundaries required the house mice at 11th & State to weight annual incidents on EACH block in the city as follows:
Murder & Part I VIOLENT crimes: 4 points,
Part I PROPERTY CRIMES; 2 points,
Calls for service/other: 1 point.
This resulted in having districts with anywhere between 15 and 36 beats.
There were real tiny patrol beat areas while others were as big as an entire small district.

J-FED's own words are a prime example of this guy's inexperience and lack of cultural knowledge relative to the city of Chicago and the Chicago Police Department.
Dear J-Doof,
Good luck with the hornet's nest of beat realignment. You are about to open a huge can of whoop ass upon yourself, one of never before seen dimensions. When you leave Chicago, either in disgrace or because of promotion to the national stage as reward for your incompetance, remember ABCDEFGH.
Your "ASS" was mostly cooked after you shot yourself in the foot with
"BEAT" realignment" and "COZZI", both of which helped carry you to the "DEMISE" of your local law enforcement career, but when "EVERYONE" on both sides of the "FENCE" finally learned that a "G-DOOF" was totally incapable of addressing and stemming the escalating "HOMICIDE" rate, it will be the hook for you. Bye-bye J-FED, hopefully sooner than later.
CPD Loyalist, FED Despiser.
Great, less police service in 016. It's alreay bad, but now we will get nothing. Great way to boost morale, take the police away from protecting our families while we are at work!
Regardless, beat realignment needs to happen.
How does it feel to be a "beat off"?
Chicago made the DRUDGE REPORT, "murder capital of the USA" and the Hudson murders. DRUDGE has hits of close to One Billion hits per month!
"The Chicago PD has no disciplinary process worthy of the name. Until it does, videos of beatings and shootings by Chicago police officers will be a staple of television news and the internet for the foreseeable future."
----huh?? shootings by police? where can I get those videos? must have missed those on Youtube!
Here's an idea: Get rid of 40 aldermen! Then you only have to worry about making 10 happy. We don't need 50 aldermen. NYC doesnt have 50 aldermen, LA doesnt have 50 aldermen.
sgt. g-- Female sgt. on midnights in 006--- Sucks!! Assigned lunches, if you are on a job and want to take lunch after your job is done...too bad. Check off at 0830 hours, if not after. Checkoff also requires both partners there in uniform and she will check to make sure. You better hope you don't have to call her to one of your jobs, because if you do she will call you a "stupid piece of shit" half the time. Serioiusly???? Looks like its time to go to third watch!
so let me get this right? if im white and pay huge taxes, they are going to take police away from my area(even though there is barely any now) and send more coppers to ghetto because those people cant act like normal human beings? So again whitey gets fucked for doing what your supposed to do? Work and pay taxes, but the ghetto rats can sit on their porch and do nothing but get more city services? fair

You Sir, are a moron. Do some research before you open your mouth (or begin to type). Every major department has had its share of scandals. CPD has not only had a disciplinary system in place, but a NEW disciplinary investigative unit was formed and the results were: THE SAME. We have people that lie about the police. This isnt to say there have been dirty cops in Chicago, there have. These dirty cops have been investigated and for the most part, taken off the streets. If you compare the judicial system in America with the system of internal investigation, you'll find numerous discrepencies. All erring on the side of OUR system on the police department being far more stringent AND in violation of any civil rights we may be protected by under the constitution.
I want to know why no one in the media or politics actually looks into how many officer are truly on the street? WTF it has been a complaint by street officers for years, we all know the truth, why cant someone who will make shortshanks do something about it look into this??? MEDIA WHERE ARE YOU NOW? DO SOMETHING DECENT FOR THE PO'S FOR A CHANGE, CALL OUT THE MAYOR AS TO WHY HE LIES ABOUT HAVING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO 13,000 OFFICERS ON THE JOB???
I know some districts need another beat in each sector. For example, 003, 004, 005, 006, area 2 is crazy!
So are the black and hispanic aldermen admitting that their fellow brothers and sisters actually commit more crimes per capita? Lets hear it from your own mouths aldermen! Admit it already, just dont blame it on caucasions in lower crime areas please!!!!
30yrs. since beat realignment?! B.S.
In 009, there used to be 4 beats per sector - effective 01Jan93, it went to 5 beats per sector! Unless my math is screwed-up, that's only been 15-16 yrs.
J-Fed should know what he's talking about before he speaks.
Unless he's refering to city-wide!? In which case would be District realignment!

But what about roller derby and professional wrestling? And mortgage backed securities?
My beat IS aligned almost perfectly. It goes directly north/south and east/west. Nothing wrong with the alignment, I check it daily.
I live in 019 & I want more beats, more officers...and more Starbucks! Just a few more years & I'll come protect "me & mines".

YOU'RE HIGH!! I've got 23 yrs on and came on "Long before computers became ubiquitous", and have NEVER seen a district with 36 beats!!
Here's an idea: the cuts should be made to the areas paying the lowest in taxes, NOT the highest. Penalizing people for acting civilized...the Chicago Way!
assuming the beats are aligned, who wants to bet that beats 2211 and 811 will suffer? these are two beats (on the southside) with a high concentration of city workers, taxpayers, and people who dont commit ANY crimes. we need to make beats 2211 and 811 smaller. alderman rugai and alderman zalewski are you listening???
10/25/2008 08:10:00 AM
Of course they're not listening
Any chance 007 will get part of lincoln park? Im hungry!
10/25/2008 10:13:00 AM
funny....glad we still have some humor
433's beat needs to be 126th street to 138th again. it would nice having only 1 squad car sighting in an entire 1 weeks time. alderman pope - you sir are useless. district commander in 004 - thanks for nothing!
If there is beat realignment I wonder if there will be a few less beats after is all said and done. Just another chance to reduce the police force.
I must be the only one that thinks this needs to be done. I'm at 15 yrs now and have felt it was time to do this many years ago. It wouldn't necessarily have less police per area. If they had more patrol on the shit beats, maybe the beat car on 2211, 811, etc. would be able to spend more time on their beat before being pulled away to some other BS in another part of the district.
Norwood and Edison Park is all that is left and the section 8 scum is arriving now! Where the hell are we suppose to go????

I love it when junior gets to use the computer. Just wait a few years, until you grow up little man, and the world will start making sense to you. In the meantime, go live in the ghetto amongst them, then come back and sing this song.
Does anyone working in 016 ever read this blog? Stop with the freakin alley traffic stops of the tax paying residents and start addressing the shitheads who are invading the homeland. 016 is worthless these days...not that it was ever the home of the motivated, but now it's just sad.
1.) Part time police are not what you want 08:17. That would enable them to downgrade your benefits and pension further.
2.) To the guy who said "white alderman won't tolerate anymore reductions in service", you're wrong. They are all terrified of Daley. They will meekly do as told in order to keep whatever perks they get. Remember, if they piss him off, he will ba able to turn the Obama Justice Department loose on them. None of the 50, of any race, could survive a serious look from the "G".
3.) To the guy who thinks we should consider re-districting but doesn't trust Weis: Weis has nothing to do with it! Daley will draw the map with input from Meeks and Carothers. No change will be good for any neighborhood with the police, real families, or taxpayers living in it.
Start thinking boys.
Other departments don't have home invasion rings.
Other departments don't have officers drunk out of their minds, beating on citizens, then trying to use bribery and intimidation to silence victims and witnesses.

Fire half of those civilians at 35th and Michigan there all political hacks and do not do a dam bit of work. But I guess that would not be politically correct.
I think we should eliminate some beats in 007....as in all of them...as in bulldoze the whole dist off the map. a crack house isnt a crack house if theres no house there.

Have to agree with you. Discipline depends on who you are and where you work. Expired plates of City sticker? a one day susp. in patrol. Detective division? COUNSELING. Until the CPD has set up GUIDELINES as to WHAT will be dealt out for WHICH offense (AND STICK TO THEM, NO "CLOUT" DEALS TO LESSEN THE BLOW), the mess will continue to be televised on the local news, CNN, BBC and wherever else that advertising can be sold around it!

You will get the police sevice you want, have no fear.
Everyone that lives in 16, 17 8, 9, 22, etc should take 5-10 min extra before and after work to hit your alleys and side streets. I do. Call in everything! Get those calls for service up and make Them hear you.
Politics first! What alderman wants any part of the high crime beats? The real muscle will show itself if this comes true!

Right on brother! or Sister!
Same people did all the work and they got screwed. With thousands of arrests I got BIS. Sorry it was a mistake the city claims. FOP says sign this form. I can't forget. J-Fed make me meritorious for all my work.
Everyone that lives in an area like 16 17 west end of 088 and 022 that doesnt get any police service because your beat car is always pulled somewhere else had better start calling 911 for everything. When they use stats to redraw the beats you will get even less police coverage. Call 911 for everything you see. Suspicious person, reckless driver, thefts and garage burg, gang disturbance. If you dont call Jfraud will assume you dont need any police where you live and you will get no police coverage.
Don't count on the government to handle your problems.
1978 is not the last time they changed things. They made some beat boundary changes within Districts in 1993 for CAPS.
In 1985 they redrew the District/Beat map too.
1.) Weis is not making the changes. Daley is, with input from Carothers,Meeks, the Outfit, and the developers.
2. You don't want part timers. They will erode your salary, benefits, pension.
White aldermen will do whatever they're told. They are only accountable to their constituents if we have a weak black Mayor. They will do nothing to piss Daley and/or Stroger off since they rely on them totally for $ and jobs for their families.
for those of you that think 016 will get less man power? Who cares i haven't seen a blue and white in MONTHS. like it would really make a difference.
Who cares anymore?????? Do what needs to be done and no more. Nobody cares and neither do fellow offciers like the scabs doing the Obama detail and the Ex SOS guys fighting to go back to the Mobile Strike Force. We are our own worst enemy, always have been always will.
As a rookie, aside from radio assignments, my partner and I always stayed on our beat--until one night while driving in circles, I went insane.

oh my god if I have to hear ONE more FUCKING snot nosed son/daughter of a boss complain about 016.... SERIOUSLY... Come work in 006 one Freaking night... Any night of the FUCKING week! So why don't you all shut the fuck up... Any night come work in 006, and we will see what it really means to be busy. You stupid pieces of fucking cry baby pussies.
I guess only time will tell what is to come... With all the money Daley is pumping into the pockets of Jody you would think that great changes would be to come... Instead King Daley gets what he wants, it's all about King Daley!

Yep! right out of the country while every other American citizen was grounded and you are worried about some broke down has been non repenting home grown terrorists. This country survived LBJ and Nixon, we can survive anything...
What do you mean they don't slang dope in the white neighborhood that a lie they just do hang out and when the police if the police ever stop them with drugs they let them go. Oh and you scared MF that keeps begging for police service in 016 F@ck Y*u. Form a neighborhood watch and march around your own Hood BOY
The problem is that beat reallignment really means "less beat cars on the street"
The last time they did it, they reduced the number of sectors in most districts, made the beats bigger geographically and we automatically had less cars on the street.
When caps was starting and they made the "rapid response cars" they actually reduced the number of cars on the street again.
What will they do now?
Although it is a good idea on paper, the reality will be another less than successful "solution" to the problems.
Smoking mirrors! When was the last time a beat car actually stayed on the beat?
I would like to see more cops our neighborhoods in 008, 016 and 022. I'm lucky if I see my guys once a month while I go to serve & protect the non-tax tayers!
I don't blame my beat guys because I know they might have to go sit on a crime scene or handle a domestic in the 20 or 30 sectoe because all the other cars are down, but we just had 2 burglaries in 1 day.
Fuck this city, can't wait to move out.

***************
I am sorry to tell you that other departments have ALL these things and some worse.
Chicago doesn't hold the prize where corruption is concerned ...
We have problems, but they involve a very small percentage of officers. (As elsewhere)
We are no better or worse than most other departments.
To the poster who said it would take police away from the highest tax paying citizens...... How about it would be taking police away from the tax paying citizens, period. And then providing more services from OUR tax dollars to the people who already don't pay taxes, collect from our checks,courtesy of the government, and are handed everything for free, and produce more babies so they can afford their Escalades and lay on a mattress on the floor. Fuck those pieces of shit...Period. Vote McCain. Stop this crap. Anyone who votes for Obana or the Daley machine is a moron regardless of race. Yes Obama may do more for the middle class regarding taxes, but overall, he will hurt you more and more by giving these pieces of shit more freebies courtesy of the working person. The only people in their right mind who could justify voting for Obama is a piece of shit with his hand out. Fuck these ghetto rats. Fuck it, they should realign the beats by who pays more taxes, by wages and property taxes. there would be two beats in places like englewood then. Fuck them, if they want more , they should earn it.

Make 016 Central to Park Ridge and Foster to Niles/Park ridge!!! Everything else in this city is GHETTO!!! Give me 50 ex-153 guys who want to be here and you'd see crime in 016 drop to near NOTHING!
10/25/2008 12:30:00 AM
That U callahan?
Don't drink and blog.
Queen of All Saints is the ghetto??
Nicest houses in the city and not too many cops like E.P.
DORK
Mt. Greenwood residents better start chiping in to hire rent -a -cops. That huge area has ONE car now. With reallignment they will have none.
On the other hand our rat Mayor has police in front of and behind his home 24/7. His family are chauffered everywhere. Apparently they are all too stupid to pass a driving test.
I wonder if 'Sticky Fingers Vanecko, the rat's parasite nephew has police drivers?
With his system the more screwed up you and you neighbors are the more police protection you deserve. If you and your neighbors are decent people and obey the law you deserve no protection at all. It's the democrat way.
Instead of beat realignment - how about hiring more po's so that there are enough for all beats. Dont they understand that you put more po's in bad areas then the savages go to the "good areas" where there are less police & u still have the same problem.
"whie aldermen won't tolerate'?
Give me a break. They will do whatever Daley orders them to do.
Or else!
The or else being he can fire all their parasite relatives from thie bullshit city jobs.
They are all thieves and care only fro stuffing thir pockets.
It's the democrat way.
Other departments don't consider a thirty day suspension an appropriate "punishment" for manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide. Other departments wouldn't promote the offender.
The Chicago PD has no disciplinary process worthy of the name. Until it does, videos of beatings and shootings by Chicago police officers will be a staple of television news and the internet for the foreseeable future.
10/25/2008 08:10:00 AM
Other departments do not have a mayor controlling every aspect of the police department. The police board refuses to fire officers who commit criminal acts orviolate rules. Daley controls the police board. I am shocked at the officers they let back on this job. But Daley controls the process.
Take down all the POD cameras. Take away in car video and GPS. Then dump OPS and IPRA. Finally take the handcuffs off of CPD. That would stop everything.
I would like to see a few plans drawn up. He will need to come up with several ideas for it to ever get off the ground....have there ever been any plans put on paper before?
We all know the problem was the failure of the projects as a viable way to keep them all contained....now they are everywhere and in every beat of the city causing chaos. It only takes one former ghetto family to ruin a two square block area...sorry truth hurts!
About eight years ago there was a team of civilians (6-8 guys)working in Data Systems on a Beat Realignment Project. These civilians were basically related to the team of civilian rocket scientist who gave us CHRIS Case Reporting. They worked for months on remapping beat bouderies based on all sorts of formulas and calls for service, natural bounderies, ect. Some of their new beat proposal were so absurd. Imagine a beat which looked like a barbell! eight square blocks on top, connected by a single street to eight square blocks on the bottom. This is what we can look forward when the godsends from Oracle remap district bounderies.
Why in GOD's name was Ayers the Commie given a police escort 30 feet from his door to his car?
Did the media have guns trained on him?
For the love of Christ, now I have seen EVERYTHING!!!
What's next, a security detail outside HIS HOUSE???
We should be jumping up and down about this misuse of police manpower.
And all this caught on tape while ASSHAT is wearing a red commie star on his t-shirt!
See the footage on FOX news......
-----------------------
It doesn't matter how much the truth slaps them in the face, Obama supporters don't care.....They're all like zombies...
Just so we're clear. What he's talking about is less coppers in 16,17,19,22
---------------------------
You know what, quit you crying..Are you afraid you might get transferred to a district where you might face actual gangs and not just a bunch of women who like your uniform???? You north side coppers have had it way to easy for way to long...
I think the sale of Depends is on the rise on the north side with all these coppers shitting their pants over the thought they might actually have to do police work...
Here's an idea: the cuts should be made to the areas paying the lowest in taxes, NOT the highest. Penalizing people for acting civilized...the Chicago Way!

No I work in the ghetto, I don't want more coppers pulled from my home district and sent to the ghetto, they get WAY too much police service as is it, most of the cars up here are 99 from what my buddy tells me. We pay the highest taxes in the city and get nothing for it and i've had it, so fuck your southside copper bullshit, I worked there too, if you guys worked there as you purpose it wouldn't be the complete and utter shithole you let it become....GFY
To this "police poser" or poster; I tend to believe this person is a police impersonator, but I have been surprised in the past, by those who wear blue uniforms, who behave and talk like gang bangers.

That public school education you received, has really paid handsome dividends. My friend, you have FABULOUS grammar and writing skills. Keep it up, you make the rest of us, look like geniuses. To comment on your point: Why do the people who pay the most in property taxes, have the least police protection? Those of us who pay: our taxes, our mortgages, our car loans; take care of our property, don't call the police for every stupid argument to referee, don't steal from our neighbors when they go to work,(I'm laughing hysterically right now) or when they go to the the store. Are "robbed" of the police service we deserve and pay for, to keep those who inhabit and infect our "Best Neighborhoods"- whose only contribution to the tax base, is when they buy their alcohol, cigarettes and cheetos at the local, plexi-glass armored, corner store. By the way, I see a lot of plexi-glass protection, in the stores of 016 when I do my local shopping, NOOOTTTT. My friend, you're just jealous you cannot live in a well maintained and safe area. Don't hate, put down the crack pipe and grape pop, get a job, learn to speak and write in English, save $50,000 plus for a down payment, invade the 016th District and then you can talk about living in the white neighborhoods. I myself, find it very safe, relaxing and best of all; I don't have to step over dead bodies, empty baggies, hypes and hookers to get to my front door.
Have a nice day, my friend.
Living Well- in Edison Park
what difference does it make, anyway, where "beat boundaries" are drawn? Beat cars, and whatever rapid cars are manned, are usually sent all over their district, without regard to beat boundaries (which in fact makes a joke of the original CAPS idea of beat integrity (if it ever wasn't a joke to begin with). Many districts need more personnel, to begin with; then, many of the "units" need to be disbanded, with their personnel returned to district patrol; and, many of the personel asigned to districts need to get back on the street, and out of the office. Maybe the CPD should publish a body count of every officer, not only to what unit they are actually assigned, but what asignment they actually perform (desk, lockup, abandoned buildings, senior citizens, faith based oficer, liaison to the alderman, etc.) After all of that, maybe someone can explain why citizens wait hours for servic;e when they call; oh, by the way, maybe someone can replace the incompetent and inexperienced exempts....and, for good measure, tell City Hall to GFU....

I'll try to answer this question but forgive me if I misunderstood; I'm not fluent in shithead.
Yes, drugs exist in white neighborhoods. The only difference is we do not have open air markets such as you. If people are dealing drugs, it's behind a closed door. Secondly, the drug trade that exists in white neighborhoods does not have your propensity for violence. I don't hear gunshots at night and I don't hear about children getting shot by stray bullets in my neighborhood.
If the police stop anyone with drugs in white neighborhoods, they do not let them go. The tactical teams would be disbanded if they let everyone go with less than 2.5 grams of marijuana on them. Save the conspiracy theories for your own neighborhood where everyone has some sort of a debilitating illness qualifying them for SSI.
Now as for anyone being scared to form a neighborhood watch program, I doubt that is true, but the original point was there would be no police working in our areas to respond to a call for help. You might be suggesting that we form our own patrols and take matters in our own hands. That's fine by me except I do not want news crews and any "reverends" marching in front of my house because I "done kilt" another future doctor who just got his GED at the age of 40 because he found it necessary to crawl through my window. Unlike you I actually have something to lose if I get sued.
Just imagine what everyone would think if all the white people got fed up with all the shitheads in our neighborhoods and fought back. The "reverends" and ACLU would be claiming it's a return of the KKK and all of us would be charged with hate crimes and sued.
Stop telling me how to handle my neighborhood considering the present condition of yours BOY (oops, better not use that term, some might consider it racist and I will be sued).
STRIPPING POLICE FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD = DURKIN PARK RIOT WITH NO ONE TO RESPOND = ANGRY WHITE PEOPLE = WE WANT ANSWERS = LEO SHMITZ GETS PROMOTED....WHAT A SYSTEM...THANKS TO BEAN'S & A/1 SAT & GUNS FOR RESPONDING...ALSO NOTE TO FIREMAN STILL HANGING ON TO ST. BEDES...YOUR 10 YRS TOO LATE, GET OUT ALREADY...
very simple solution, just takes some organization. Resident police officers of the negatively affected areas will have to go on the medical. This can be done a max of 5 times a year, and with a doctor's note, can be extended numerous days during each occurrence. Now, for those of us whose medical conditions require exercise and stretching to expedite recovery time, we'll have to go on (armed) therapeutic walks in the neighborhood (don't forget to notify the district first). If enough members get together on something like this, 2-3 officers can be added, every day of the year, to the protection of the neighborhoods and families who keep this city from becoming the next Detroit (or so I hope).
ITS ON BOYS!
NO CONTRACT , EVER !!!!!!!
YOU WILL WORK FOR HEALTH INSURANCE !!!!!
CR NUMBERS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!
ALL BOW BEFORE ME THE GENERAL!!!!!!
A manpower shortage ? There has to be a way to get more people in the beat cars. Maybe its time for the hiring of (gasp) part timers ? Create an auxiliary force to ride with the full time POs ? Oh wait, no one is qualified to police the streets of chicago except full time POs trained by the city. Never mind that the suburbs do this. I guess chicago would rather wallow in crime than find alternative manpower solutions...
10/25/2008 08:17:00 AM
hey goofus, are you really serious bout 'auxiliary force to ride with the full time POs '? just let us be 13,500 police strong on the street as the budget should dictate.
'hourly' tma, revenue writers, janitorial, fleet, cta, etc workers are what the mayor & council want...TO PRIVATIZE WITHOUT ANY BENEFITS...SO ONLY THE POLITICALLY CONNECTED WILL BENEFIT WITH THEIR CONTRACTS.
The real solution: HIRE THE FULL 13,500 THAT THE BUDGET ALLOTS! REAL SIMPLE.
Also Jfed was hired up & paid up front as the fall guy to do exactly what he is doing, ALL THE DIRTY WORK FOR THE MAYOR who wants to break all unions & privatize. Look at the city proposals re the new contracts...HOW MANY YOUNG PO'S will make it to their pension if the city gets what they want, AN OBSTACLE COURSE WITH SO MANY POTHOLES BUILT IN TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE AS A CAREER CHOICE.
That is why so much negative publicity re union workers in the media...all unions are trying to bend, they played by the old rules, but its a new game in town with a new sheriff who knows what the game rules are BUT won't share till after you have lost.
They want pro-active police, yet all watch commanders must explain excessive overtime...the police are the scapegoats for the killing & mayhem in this city TO ONLY HAVE THE LEADERSHIP IN THIS CITY--MAYOR, JFED, ALL POLITICIANS WASH THEIR HANDS OF THE CITY'S BLOOD...AND THAT INCLUDES ALL POLICE OFFICER'S BLOOD WHO MAKE UP OUR 'VERY THIN' LINE OF BLUE!

THE SAME THING WOULD BE DONE TO 08 AND 16. ALL THOSE SO CALLED LAID BACK DISTRICT WITH OFFICER BOASTING THAT THEY ARE RETIRED FROM THE GHETTO SURPRISE!
THE GHETTO IS COMING FOR U.
THE FUNNY THING IS MANPOWER IS SHORT CITY WIDE SO IT STILL GOING TO BE 50 POUNDS OF SHIT IN A 10 POUND BAG.
I WONDER IF ALL THOSE SO CALLED SCHOLARS(COMMANDERS) WILL USE THOSE FAKE DEGREES TO GIVE J-FED INPUT. BUT KNOW R SYSTEM ALL THE COMMANDERS WILL PUT THEIR HEADS DOWN AND TELL J-FED IT A GREAT IDEA. THE NEXT THING THE COMMANDERS WILL CONTACT THEIR ALDERMAN AND CLOUT BUSSINESES PEOPL AND TELL THE J-FED CUTTING THEIR MANPOWER.
IF U THINK CUELLO IS ABLE TO HANDLE THIS MR STEROID U GOT ANOTHER THING CUMMIN.
OH J-FED THE CITY HAD SPENT CRAZY MONEY A FEW YEARS BACK ON A REMAP UNDER HILLARD! CHECK AROUND 4 THE MAP, UNLESS CLINE SNAGGED THAT TOO LIKE HE STOLE THE PLANS FOR THE PODS!

Wrong, young whippersnapper.
In the late '60's and early '70's, 002 was on a split radio zone (Zones 5 and 8) with 36 beats plus squadrols 270-274 and supervisors 280-284. We also had an "umbrella car" that covered 47th St. from the Ryan to Cottage Grove. Add Lt. 290, tac and vice cars. Your "rapids" were called "power cars".
While it was the bloodiest ever back then, all of us were a united "BLUE". If the shitheads and mutts didn't respect us, they feared us in a time when well deserved, old fashioned wood shampoos were commonplace, particularly in 10-1s.
Dists. 002 and 011 always led the city in violent crime with 003, 007 and 010 as distant runners-up.
During those times, 002 and 011 each had almost a hundred homicides per year.
Both 008 and 016 were known as "the old soldiers' home".
While we had times when we averaged a murder of a police officer a month, we feel sorry for you young guys.
Unite and DEMAND RESPECT from Daley, Weis and the current crop of jagoff clout bosses. Without morale and leadership, the leftie pussies now have the CPD they deserve. Fuck 'em!
Meanwhile, back each other up and stay safe.

Sgt David Snethen (rtd)one of the finest street coppers to ever wear the CPD badge.Don't know who recommended him,but its probably the only time in the history of CPD that a boss did the right thing.
" an attractive hetersexual 36 yr old woman in a law enforcement agancy,"
No such thing...
Hey dumbasses,
they are not hiring more cops they are just changing the borders of districts so that means we still have the same number of cops!!!!
Mt Shitmore still wont get anymore cops than they already have.
Does anyone working in 016 ever read this blog? Stop with the freakin alley traffic stops of the tax paying residents and start addressing the shitheads who are invading the homeland. 016 is worthless these days...not that it was ever the home of the motivated, but now it's just sad.

Hey stupid, how are they supposed to know who is a resident of 016 if they don't stop them first ? Okay supercop, as said many times before...bid to 016 and show us the right way to do things. By the way fucknuts...there was a period where the total tact/ gang team arrests were in the top 10 in the city with the gang team alone being THIRD in the city in arrests.

"proffessional" = professional

"agancy" = agency
"represting" = representing
"beautful" = beautiful
"elequence" = eloquence
"everway" = every way

All the Policemen that should be in 016, are too busy policing the slums of the 15th and 025th districts

10/25/2008 11:20:00 PM
Whole post gets a AMEN brother,someone tells it like it is,F#ck calling us racist for telling the truth,cant tell the truth cause its offensive?
Back some years ago there was a small scandal when Pam Zeckman of someone like her exposed the fact that not all beat cars were being manned. There were downed beat cars every day. This made news, the bosses promised to get to the bottom this etc.
And so to ensure that all beats were manned they simply made the beats BIGGER! Then they declared that all beats were being completely manned every day. Nice trick, eh?
The beat boundaries as it is now are actually fairly well done. Beat realignment as the news media and south side ministers imagine it is only smoke and mirrors,
The only way to get more beats in to the ghetto is to do something similar now, make beats in other districts bigger again. That might mean the closing of at least one and perhaps two north side districts and fold those beats into adjoining districts resulting in much larger beats. Then send that manpower over to indian country to fight the beast.
Good luck. When Mr & Mrs Yuppie find out that the police protection in their already heavily burglarized neighborhood is going down they might not like it. Not when they are paying around $2,000 a month in property taxes!
This will be entertaining to watch.
You have to be one of the laziest persons I ever heard from:
"hey J-Fuck, I will work without a contract, I will work with your stupid ass liberal friends trying to fuck me while on-duty, but if you re-zone the area that I live in to give me even less police service, I will not do a thing for this fing city. Not only that, I will influence my friends to lay down as well. I'm still young (3yrs on da job) and want to work, but will do zero arrests in the ghetto and count the days until I can protect my home front."

Truth is spoken!
Who cares if it takes hours to process one prisoner. You're getting paid. It's a break, quiet time in the station doing paper/computer work; transporting prisoner; waiting to get your prisoner processed; going for gas; going for personal & lunch. Day over. Sounds good to me.
Beat realignment will most likely only affect a few districts.
Think about it like this:
Why would they send a bunch of FTOs to only a few districts? So they can add more beats: IE 004 and 006 going to 5 or even 6 beats a sector.
Expect 007 and 009 to be expanded just in time for their new stations to open.
Expect 008 to be smaller

Pookie fit'n to graduate real soon.
433's beat gets no police service and 432's beat is a clost second. im going to have to call cooter to help me out cause i aint getting no help from the 4th district
...bid to 016 and show us the right way to do things. By the way fucknuts...there was a period where the total tact/ gang team arrests were in the top 10 in the city with the gang team alone being THIRD in the city in arrests.
TRU dat. Looked it up myself and saw during the 3rd police period of '08 yooze 016 tact/gang guyz had 562 DOPW and 1046 SUB arrests. The 4th period saw an additional 1608 warrant arrests for those same incidents that generated 7396.2 hours of court-related overtime.
If I had yooze guyz in 013 I'd still have my take home car. Keep up the good work!
An 18-year-old woman was found shot to death lying on an Englewood street early this morning, police said.
Officers responding to a 911 call found Ladevonne Thomas in the 5700 block of South Bishop Street around 3:30 a.m., according to police spokesman John Mirabelli. She had been shot in the face, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Police said they had no motive in the killing and were asking anyone with information to call Wentworth Area detectives at 312-747-8380.
Thomas, who lived in the 2700 block of South Dearborn Street, was pronounced dead at the Stein Institute.
No further information was available.
**I'm sure englewood will be crawling with police. In that district, they probably think a block radius should be a beat!!!!
To 10/25/2008 @ 5:49 You think because you work in 006 you are johnny badass?? Let me tell you something "kid" You talk trash about the 016th dist coppers , many of whom worked in the toilets of the city before you thought about being the police...many of the coppers in 016 worked in fast districts and ghetto districts, SOS, Narcotics etc...I have been on the job 15 years and can tell you that I have worked in SOS, 011,014,024 and have had the pleasure of working with some of the best street coppers on this job in my career in those units/districts...so keep your yap shut about 006 and how scary it is etc...I will tell you something kid that if you worked in Filmore in the early 90's you would see what busy was like...and the officers who work in 016 do a hell of a job policing a huge district with stretched resources...We police a 30+ square mile district filled with coppers,firemen,alderman,judges,attorneys,doctors,CEO's of large corporations etc...we deal with an entirely different element up here than in the ghetto and we do a fine job...you have no idea how far we stretch to help those people out. To the blogger who calls us stupid for stopping citizens in the alleys...you have no idea what you are talking about...we have a HUGE rash of garage burglaries and vehicle break ins. The officers are directed to patrol those alleys and stop anyone...to possibly catch or prevent burglaries. I am sure if YOUR garage was burglarized you would love to see us in YOUR alley right?? So thanks for your input superhero now go give mooky the service he deserves while we serve people who appreciate us.

You better hope you don't have to call her to one of your jobs, because if you do she will call you a "stupid piece of shit" half the time. Serioiusly???? Looks like its time to go to third watch!"
To Sgt. G. from 6-
Your officers are the hardest working, self-sacrificing officers around. Throw them a bone once in a while to show them how much you appreciate them!! I know you got a heart--I've seen it! If you try not to come off as such a hard ass you will gain their respect a lot easier!!! What have you got to lose? try it for a while!

Looks like they are trying everything possible to justify J-feds salary..he took over and totally exemplified what is wrong with this dept.
Everyone knows that 10% of this dept. did 90% of the real police work!
These police know who we are...we were the SAME faces every morning at 26 and Cal...The same FACES!!! EVERY morning ..WE KNOW WHO WE ARE...
These were the cops that were f#cked with for making too much overtime..dumped from units because of a select few bad cops,put on BIS cause they made the sh#thead know he would be policed aggressively..
When you go to the sgts exam how many of these faces can you name...
When you look over the meritorious list how many of these are us!!!
They have meritoriously clouted us into submission..they have proven to us that as working police we were the fools....
Jody only confirmed this!!
Can you justify the meritorious promotions!
Name one of the real police that got promoted meritiously..can anyone!!!!NAME ONE?
Not asking for much..but jeez 20% meritorious promotions and we cant name ONE!!!
Not one That was deserving of meritorious!
THIS IS THE SLAP IN OUR FACE!
Now name how many working cops got sent to callback trying to aggressively work the streets...
bet ya got names now...
Now name the lazy do nothing who is probably gonna get meritorious...
Ya should have made meritorious for merit and we would have had a real police dept.
Jody was not the beginning he is just the end!
Jody has to go ..in my opinion he has lost our trust..like a wife who cheated..we can never really trust them again..
He can try anything but its already too late...he can give me a 40% raise and I will say thanks for the money but you cant be trusted!
BUT give me a meririous promotion for a person that I really respected...YOU might get a chance to gain our respect..
NAME ONE!!!asking all you bloggers out there
Wow ... That's a mouthful ... you know you are probably one of those guys who make's all those big arrest's who I would pat on the back (but your hand would get in the way!!) It's one thing to make alot of arrests, get alot of court, and brag about how great you are, problem is no convictions ... but you are probably one of those "it's all bullshit kind of guys" who whines all the time ... you're pissed because of the meritorious selections ... look at the list dummy the last Sgt. List actually did have some longtime working police on it ... I know a lot of guy's who made it off the "list" and they are scared of their own shadow ... you are right that a lot of working cops got screwed in working units because of scandels ... But be real about it ... you cannot tell me coppers in SOS, 015, and other unit where corruption occurred did not know what was going on and buried there head in the sand... wake up ... you want to do something about it ... then make a difference .. when you see something going wrong do something about it ... you make known to the knuckleheads doing wrong that you are not going to let them bring down the unit or team. Get some balls ... and maybe someday you can be a supervisor, oh wait a minute ... it's easier to cry from the peanut gallery
8:03 PM
Who the fuck are you to call 5:24 AM a "dummy"?
Who the fuck are you to assume that the 10% of the street cops/dicks that make 90% of the the Part I felony arrests don't have an outstanding conviction rate?
And how dare you try to justify the so-called "merit" process, you piece of shit!
That shameless asshole Weis already knows the answers to initiate reforms in promotions. Yet, Daley's puppet doesn't do shit.
(1) TRANSPARENCY IN OBJECTIVE EXAMS CONSTRUCTED AND ADMINISTERED BY OUTSIDERS WITH IMMEDIATE SCANTRON SCORES AVAILABLE.
(2) A CHALLENGE PROCESS TO VOID INVALID QUESTIONS.
(3) THE CPD GIVES A CATEGORICAL AND UNEQUIVOCAL WRITTEN DEFINTION OF THE WORD "MERIT".
(4) RESTORE CIVIL SERVICE TO ALL RANKS INCLUDING CAPTAIN AND ABOVE
(5) AN AWARD RIBBON WITH SUITABLE CREDIT FOR PROMOTIONS/ASSIGNMENTS TO THOSE COPPERS MAKING HUNDREDS OF PART I FELONY ARRESTS--THE GUYS THAT DO THE HEAVY LIFTING.
Hey, suckhole police imposter: Get some PRIDE or take the CPD bastardization of the word "merit" and ram it up your ass.
As to 5:24 AM, God bless you, office. If possible, consider other career options. This Titanic clusterfuck called the CPD now rests on the bottom of the North Atlantic--FUBAR!
Get the fuck out of town, Weis-el. You only have compounded a disaster into a mutiny. Take your phony careerist ass to D.C. and suck up with the next president and FBI Dir. Mueller.
And to those few "bosses" that anonymously say "if you don't like it, quit and flip burgers": The CPD has always been blessed with bright, talented people that could be easily earning six figure salaries in the private sector. They took the job with PASSION and PRIDE as a most honorable calling with reasonable expectations to succeed on actual merit.
Why don't they play the suckhole bullshit? PRIDE, you damn fool. And their work speaks for itself. What more can fair management ask for aside from courage, integrity and excellence?
It's only a few bad guys, clout babies and ne'er-do-wells like 8:03 PM that have betrayed the sacred honor of the once-proud CPD. If 8:03 is not a house mouse or another exempt hypocrite, his/her idea of a great tour is parkers, pissers and the brown-bagging 40's crew.
Unlike a proud 5:24 AM, you are a disgrace to our star and uniform. YOU quit! IF ever given the respect they so deserve, "Chicago's Finest" have real police work to do.
In an earlier post, a naive outsider asked what's wrong with using (CPD version of) merit. In the future when posting, would all legit officers please qualify so-called "merit" with quotation marks. In reality, it should be termed CLOUT or the euphemism "management discretion".
According to Merriam-Webster, it sure ain't MERIT.
Hey stupid, how are they supposed to know who is a resident of 016 if they don't stop them first ? Okay supercop, as said many times before...bid to 016 and show us the right way to do things. By the way fucknuts...there was a period where the total tact/ gang team arrests were in the top 10 in the city with the gang team alone being THIRD in the city in arrests. So come show us how its done, dickhead !
___________________________________
All those arrest came in 15 and 25. Dopw's and Sub's. WOW GREAT PINCHES! Please. I have seen them in action on daily basis. No one can pimp a brothat better. Pisser=Long form , Drinker=Long form, false temp plate SWEEET JACKPOT! And lets not forget the ultimate pimpming of dude ........the ever so famous 16th distrcict PCS with just a pipe and residue.
Numbers are BS. As to bidding there>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Trust me if we could we would. Only problem is we don't want mids and the only time a bid is open is when one of those old lazy dogs retire.
what's with all the crying about 016?? Welcome to REALITY! Hmm, maybe there is a reason your 3 bedroom ranch is not worth 500 grand? Stop crying for help- you are the police, act like it!!!!!
I have been on the job 15 years and can tell you that I have worked in SOS, 011,014,024 and have had the pleasure of working with some of the best street coppers on this job in my career in those units/districts...so keep your yap shut about 006 and how scary it is etc...I will tell you something kid that if you worked in Filmore in the early 90's you would see what busy was like...and the officers who work in 016 do a hell of a job policing a huge district with stretched resources...We police a 30+ square mile district filled with coppers,firemen,alderman,judges,attorneys,doctors,CEO's of large corporations etc...we deal with an entirely different element up here than in the ghetto and we do a fine job.

Wrong, young whippersnapper.
In the late '60's and early '70's, 002 was on a split radio zone (Zones 5 and 8) with 36 beats plus squadrols 270-274 and supervisors 280-284. We also had an "umbrella car" that covered 47th St. from the Ryan to Cottage Grove. Add Lt. 290, tac and vice cars. Your "rapids" were called "power cars".
While it was the bloodiest ever back then, all of us were a united "BLUE". If the shitheads and mutts didn't respect us, they feared us in a time when well deserved, old fashioned wood shampoos were commonplace, particularly in 10-1s.
Meanwhile, back each other up and stay safe.
10/26/2008 12:21:00 AM
Wabash Walls,
It was Zone 5 and Zone 7.
Sgt. Beat 284 and Squadrol 274 were both for Zone 7. The other Sergeants and wagons were for Zone 5. Two radio zones, five Sergeants and five wagons for a very small district. That's how busy we were, but unlike the job today, we had more resources, and we needed them. 002 was jumping!
But you wrote the words "United Blue" and alluded to a cohesiveness in 002 during the late 60' and early 70's. You must not have been on 3rd Watch. Think back to the mood of the country back then as far as race relations. Things were tough,& you have certainly forgotten about the black 10-1's & the white 10-1's?
The majority, but not all, of the third (3rd) watch black officers in 002 identified 10-1's in this manner. They would go to the black 10-1's, but not the white 10-1's. The white guys on 3rd watch in 002 did not practice the same policy, but if not for the white brothers and the few of our black brothers, a white copper was screwed on the streets of 002 if he needed help.
Also, you have apparently forgotten the 3rd watch rolls calls in 002, blacks in the front and whites in the back, with an empty row in between that was called the DMZ. I have not forgotten. I was there. Things were not as cohesive as you remember.
8:03 says - Memo to Northside ... just keep bitching and whining and that will make it all better ... "Northside" says it all ... Hide in 16 or 19 and you tell your neighbors how you are the real police ... you critcize merit because you have been a legend in your own mind ... a lot of the coppers (not all mind you) that make merit work cases ... not talk about them ... people bitched when Rodriguez was the Supe ... When Hillard was the supe ... when Cline was the Supe ... and Now J-Fed ... I don't like him either ... but you are one of those guys who are gonna cry no matter who is in charge ... you don't like this, you don't like that ... so just bitch and whine ... hey here's a novel idea ... why don't you come up with a good idea, put it on a report, on second thought forget it ... just keep whining cause thats all you are good for
6:44 PM
Why thank you for sharing, "ANONYMOUS".
Apparently, you are unaware of the fact that I'm retired. During my entire career, I have passionately pursued reforms in the de facto personnel policies (shift rotation, EXAMSCAM, etc.) of the CPD. The fire still burns in my belly for the active guys who must deal with corruption and clout {see items (1) through (5) in my 11:52 PM post}.
I just call it the way it is. Active officers wisely refuse to identify themselves for fear of "a brick" or even separation for merely exercising their First Amendment rights to truthfully comment on matters of public concern (i.e.: Daley's CPD clout clusterfuck).
If you did your homework, you would realize why I am very proud of my service to the citizens of Chicago.
If you have the cojones to contact me DIRECTLY, try cpdfop7@yahoo.com
I won't hold my breath, clout jagoff. K-M-A!
"why don't you come up with a good idea, put it on a report' - 6:44 pm
Northside put down at least five great ideas in his comment, J-Fed.
What you going to do about it?
The wheel that squeaks gets the oil.
Love him or hate him, nobody can say anything but good things about John Northern as a cop. None better.
Looks like you struck a raw nerve with a clouted a**hole, Northside.
Could it be Mr. G-man himself?
Rock on, brother.
The big mouth at 6:44 PM must not have read the Northside post under BURGE ARRESTED IN FLORIDA 10/21 at 11:40 PM.
J-Fed is toast. Way to go, John.
6:44 PM
HI, J-FED.
the officers who work in 016 do a hell of a job policing a huge district with stretched resources...We police a 30+ square mile district filled with coppers,firemen,alderman,judges,attorneys,doctors,CEO's of large corporations etc...we deal with an entirely different element up here than in the ghetto and we do a fine job...you have no idea how far we stretch to help those people out.
