Which cutie pie 6 year wonder sgt from 016 is going around telling everyone she's on her way to the academy on a phone order? With outstanding skills honed with a few years on the desk in 024, a few years leading TRU in DOPW's, and a momma with a homeland security job, her skills must be lauded.

There are 27 recruits graduating shortly. That will leave 23 recruits in the academy. There are 28 sgt's assigned or detailed to the academy. That makes more sgt's than recruits (some recruits have more time on the job than most of those sgt's). Yet MT needs another fearless leader to help him in his mission to ....do whatever. Jody is really doing a great job. It's all legit kid.
i hung out in the coach house behind obama's crib and watched pornos and played cards with the secret service. when i asked if this was ok? they responded... YES WE CAN! true story.
It's a pretty easy detail. You are assined to a post where you check ID's of all vehicles entering Obama's block of residence. At first they couldn't make up their minds on how they wanted us to do things. First it was driver in the car and passender outside. Then it was both stand outside, then it was you're "allowed" to sit in car if traffic is scarce. It's a pretty pointless task considering all the secret service already there, but it's really not all that bad. Except for the cold rainy days of course.
I read here the other day that the TRU secretary gets working day mini-furloughs, taken during holiday weeks but has only 8 years on. WTF! How is that possible? Got to be contract and GO violation. I was hoping someone would clarify but the comment got lost in all the responses to the fool copper that obviously can't drive. I've got more time than her and work in shit every night and can barely get a weekend off. How is this possible? Please don't make this an opportunity to bash TRU, this is some major bullshit that needs to be explained. Anyone know how this is allowed?!
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE MONEY RAISED FROM CELL PHONES AND LAND LINE SERVICE FEE FOR 911, WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY GOING? WHO NEEDS A TMA TO POIT TO A GREEN LIGHT OR RED LIGHT WHERE YOU GET A PHOTO ENFORCED TICKET IN THE MAIL ANY WAY! LETS GET MORE POLICE WITH THIS MONEY....
I felt very discriminated against. I will not do it again and have the senioroty to refuse. I feel sorry for the coppers that get sent there. I can say, "Put your time in. We all did it." But I won't say that. I just feel outright sorry for them. No copper should be treated like that.
I work in HQ and I have it this week coming up, M-F. From our unit they are detailing 11 people for one week, and then rotating it through the rest of the building. 5 on days at the Obama house, 5 on afternoons at Federal Plaza and 1 on midnights at Federal Plaza. I think this is to take some pressure off districts, but who knows.
The only thing I have to add is that 2 sgts and 25 PO's from the Academy are detailed to the "Obama Transition Detail" starting at midnight Sunday. It's all 3 watches at his house and the Federal Building. They went reverse sen. for the most part. How many does that bring that detail up to? What the hell is wrong with the Secret Service that they can't handle him?
2 sgts and 25 P.O.'s detailed immediately to Obama detail for one week, all watches from academy. Officers given 3 hours notice to report Sunday. Other units also affected. Finally, reverse senority used.
There are 27 recruits graduating shortly. That will leave 23 recruits in the academy. There are 28 sgt's assigned or detailed to the academy. That makes more sgt's than recruits ....

How many Sgt's??? Just incredible how they waste manpower in this department.
Soon enough, most of the 200 sworn staff members, Sgts and Lt's at the academy will be back on the street. No hiring until spring except for suburban depts. Civilian instructors will be teaching the suburban depts. with a few sworn. Those few sworn will be left behind to teach in service and the rest will be gone.
I worked the downtown detail last night. I got a kick out of the fact that we were not allowed cargo pants, baseball caps, but every federal officer was wearing theirs.
How about a nice strong showing at the FOP General Meeting on Tuesday, Nov 18, 2100 hours.
Officers should make a strong statement that we would like the Obama details to be assigned as Special Employment, like O'Hare and CHA. Time and a half for the detail and no complaining and they get their manpower.
If enough officers show up and put this out on the floor and submit written reports to the FOP maybe they will try and force the issue with the city.
2:09 a.m. Unfortunately, that is how it works. When I was in 011, Dana Starks two year wonder "godchild" got a working day furlo. In fact, she was carried working when in reality, she wasn't even in the country - she was at the "Hedonism" Remember that, Crystal?

How do you quit a detail that you have been assigned to? Now, Police Officers can go to their districts of assignments and details, pick and choose which and what jobs that they will do and will not do? If McCain was the President elect from Chicago, would there be the same type of details for him?
why would anyone want to work this screwball detail-- why would anyone volunteer for anything on this job. i'm more worried about what college football games are on today than anything that happens by obama's house or at 219 s. dearborn-- go hawks, go wolves.

From what I see and what I've heard, it has the potential to be a good gig, BUT, with the press hovering around and the constantly being under a microscope, at this point in time it is shit. I would suggest rather than a "detail" put it on the special employment market and let Coppers do it on their days off if they choose. Of course a much more stringent uniform and appearance policy should be enacted because we have all seen the salty KMA's at the airport looking like shit.

Looking for more sergeants at academy. MT has new ideas. Cannot close academy. Very busy place.
Well, I do know it's a new day. No more of these suburban kids coming into the city and shooting all these young men who were just getting their lives together. And, no more standing on the corner. All of a sudden everyone is enrolled in school and seems to want to get a job. Or maybe not....
SCC Thnaks for letting the working coppers have a place to vent! Why isit a certain unit C.O. female in a plum airport spot, in her infinite wisdom has shown yet again favoritism! Seems that on her "appetite for destruction" tour she has yet again took care of another favorite! How? simple really she has talked about bidding for watches and made sure everyone had proper instructions! Seems that a veteran officer picked the wrong watch, so she called him upstairs after bidding was closed and allowed him to change the bid slip! Does she know she is making 0 points? How much lower can she destroy morale! 35th street news is that she will be moved "soon", soon cannot be soon enough! My kid goes to school in mt greenwood and everyday she is there picking up her kid how many hows does she work a day? hello boss gps in this car is needed! thankfully doa police are logging times in and out of the gate just to keep track! Be careful who you hurt because karma is a bitch!
Its TRU part II. They found a pisser, and were finding paper jobs for beat cars again, just like old times. I still find it funny that they had to knock the requirement down to 3 years just to get people to sign up for the stupid thing.

Hes gonna be like Gov Blagoofovich. Commute to work everyday and waste taxpayers dollars doing it.
Just a note to correct some of the grumbling masses that represent themselves as the "real police". The Academy is just the most visble part of the Education and Training Division. You remember, the division that provides all the training you keep asking for? Just because the city won't hire anyone, doesn't mean the whole place is being mothballed. There are a number of ongoing programs that are part of the Division with ongoing in-service training. Patrol Carbine Operators Course, In-Car Camera, TARA, the Dept. Armorers, Tactical Training Unit, Firearms Qualification, etc., etc., etc. Overall, for a Department this size, we are actually understaffed in Education and Training, much the same way you are understaffed in the Districts accross the city. Why can't you acknowledge the bigger picture? It's hard for everyone.

For all of the house mouse POs going to the Hussein Obama detail keep in mind that you might need a gun with real bullets and more than one in your shirt pocket. I have several for rent, no credit cards or checks, just cash.
I think big Jody and J.D. HOG must be reading these posts. I broke down the negatives on the Pres. security detail and how everyone would have no police experience. I also hinted that TARA is the way to go since it is federally funded and everybody is trained on it. Apparently, they are heading that direction and let us see if they make it TARA. If they are very picky they should take guys with carbine training and deploy them with a M-4 and pay them double time ;).

Um, there's nobody coming to the academy. As for Sgt.'s, there is about 20 total. I think there is only 1 or 2 in recruit training the rest are in TARA and in-service stuff. Matter of fact there is only a handful of officers assigned to train recruits.
You are right. We do have way to many Sgt’s assigned down here at the academy. Way to many! All we need down here is Mark S. The super Sgt. Here is a guy who has a whole 3 months on the street as a Sgt and then became detailed to the academy. He is going to be teaching leadership classes to other sgt’s. He sure must of learned how to be a great leader of men in those 3 months on the street. Hey, Mark S. slow down if Matt T, came to a quick halt your head would go right up his A@$….
Does anyone know if it’s possible for in-laws to hold supervisory positions within the same unit or is that an ethics violation?

Ok...ok..uncle...now that I've stopped laughing..whew...ummmm... when we're understaffed in the districts..people..(you know people as in family members,remember them?)get hurt. I don't see emergency situations in the academy when you have no one available.
What airport coppers are getting the Obama detail? Get your facts straight, crybaby - there are no airport coppers detailed out on that! There aren't enough police at the airport!
the simple truth is that taking sgts out of their assigned areas for this detail means time and 1/2 pay...per contract, so when those overtime slips came in some seriously stupid exempt at 35th street had to run it by legal affairs...and by next week we will bid for this special employment for overtime/special pay.....or redistribution of our taxes to the police who still wait for a working raise since July 07 old sgt looling forward to visiting Obama jobs!
2 sgts and 25 P.O.'s detailed immediately to Obama detail for one week, all watches from academy. Officers given 3 hours notice to report Sunday. Other units also affected. Finally, reverse senority used.
11/15/2008 07:55:00 AM
Now let's see here. You claim that the officers were only given 3hrs notice to report on Sunday. Clearly, if you posted your comment at 07:55hrs on Saturday that would meant that there was a lot more than 3 hrs notice given.
One historical note: Obama will be the first President with a private residence in a major city.
Bush II - Crawford TX Clinton - Little Rock Bush I - Kennebunkport, ME Reagan - Santa Barbara CA Carter - Plains GA Ford - (don't think he had one) Nixon - San Clemente CA Johnson - Johnson City TX Kennedy - Hyannisport MA Eisenhower - Gettysburg PA Truman - Independence MO Roosevelt - Hyde Park NY
President Obama's frequent presence in the core of Chicago will be a new situation, and the CPD is going to have some unprecedented challenges having nothing to do with Obama in particular.

To the Feds, we are the equivalent of The Digby Armored Truck, Security and Catfish Company.
We would not really be trusted with anything important. The Feds know how fucked up it is here. Of course there are isolated pockets of competency and professionalism in the CPD but they are few and scattered.
As if wearing the regular uniform instead of cargo pants and baseball hat really makes us more professional. They approve other uniforms and then disallow us wearing them if we are supposedly in the public view. The same uniforms departments across the country wear on camera all the time.
Look for a return of the hard round top police helmet circa 1910 and 100% wool trousers with the white piping down the leg. That and the weekly envelope for the WC and tacit approval of profit sharing on traffic stops.

In-car camera training, we really need that kind of training. Weapons qualification, area ranges take care of that and that takes a couple clicks on the computer. How about some real training!!! But we don't need real training, we have the streaming videos to teach us how to approach an Active Shooter situation in a large building or school by watching a 5 min. video. Great hands on training. Any and all training coming out of that Academy and this Department is a fucking joke!! If only the public knew that the first responders to a school shooting incident were trained to handle the situation by watching a fucking video!! And room entry? Only for the tac teams I guess. Cuz regular blue shirts never have to clear a house or warehouse. Fucking joke you Academy people are.

Harold Washington was charged with failure to file tax returns for 4 years although 19 years is closer to the truth. That made him a folk hero in the black community. He also was recommended for a five years suspension of his law license amid allegations of not performing services owed to his clients. A one year suspension was what he eventually got.

Never. Not CTA, the only good thing for some about CTA Special is the social security credits.
People have to yell and complain and that means LOTS of them and do it loudly at the FOP meeting. But I imagine the same 50 people will be there, not the several hundred or so that would be needed to influence anything. Like always, they then complain in the locker rooms or on this blog.

Why all the attention on the academy? Training continues with the few recruits and officers from the street. Finally, officers on the street will receive the training they have been denied for years. We cannot as a large department ignore training. Instead of a streaming video or a bulletin, actual classes to learn and practice. Staff are detailed out as necessary. The same as 35th street.

---------------------------------- hey dummy, read the contract!!! most people that work tact/gangs dont realize what contractual rights they give up. they can change your hours and days off at any time. you only get OT if you work more than 8.5 hrs in a day or dont get your 2 regular days of within a week. so enjoy the changing of hours and days off. thats what you give up to wear jeans and extra hairgel
There are 27 recruits graduating shortly. That will leave 23 recruits in the academy. There are 28 sgt's assigned or detailed to the academy. That makes more sgt's than recruits (some recruits have more time on the job than most of those sgt's). Yet MT needs another fearless leader to help him in his mission to ....do whatever.

I read here the other day that the TRU secretary gets working day mini-furloughs, taken during holiday weeks but has only 8 years on. WTF! How is that possible? Got to be contract and GO violation. I was hoping someone would clarify but the comment got lost in all the responses to the fool copper that obviously can't drive. I've got more time than her and work in shit every night and can barely get a weekend off. How is this possible? Please don't make this an opportunity to bash TRU, this is some major bullshit that needs to be explained. Anyone know how this is allowed?!
the simple truth is that taking sgts out of their assigned areas for this detail means time and 1/2 pay...per contract, so when those overtime slips came in some seriously stupid exempt at 35th street had to run it by legal affairs
**Same for the PO's that are being moved out of the areas that they are assigned to. Same for the house mice that are getting their hours changed.
It's all OT people. Stop being pansies and file with the union so they stop jerking us around. Fucking stand up already. You all beef about the Union not doing anything for you, but yet you can't do anything for yourself. Keep eating shit and they will keep feeding it to you!

more serious! this in my short time on job has to be the biggest hypocrite ever! on lunch? she is on lunch all day! at least Moran trated you like a person, the princess has no people skills at all and will do anything to show her husband she will get a gold star also! obviously jody is not seriuos about "management accountability", as if he was she would be gone back to the district where her lack of talent would be more needed! Wait until she is presented with papers from (JJ) and Louie, seems the rank and file stand by the people who back them! When this hits the newspaper story she will feel the wrath of the mayor another hit from above?

i hung out in the coach house behind obama's crib and watched pornos and played cards with the secret service. when i asked if this was ok? they responded... YES WE CAN! true story.
It's a pretty easy detail. You are assined to a post where you check ID's of all vehicles entering Obama's block of residence. At first they couldn't make up their minds on how they wanted us to do things. First it was driver in the car and passender outside. Then it was both stand outside, then it was you're "allowed" to sit in car if traffic is scarce. It's a pretty pointless task considering all the secret service already there, but it's really not all that bad. Except for the cold rainy days of course.

Once again certain airport coppers are getting overtime on the Obama detail.
I felt very discriminated against. I will not do it again and have the senioroty to refuse. I feel sorry for the coppers that get sent there. I can say, "Put your time in. We all did it." But I won't say that. I just feel outright sorry for them. No copper should be treated like that.
I work in HQ and I have it this week coming up, M-F. From our unit they are detailing 11 people for one week, and then rotating it through the rest of the building. 5 on days at the Obama house, 5 on afternoons at Federal Plaza and 1 on midnights at Federal Plaza. I think this is to take some pressure off districts, but who knows.
The only thing I have to add is that 2 sgts and 25 PO's from the Academy are detailed to the "Obama Transition Detail" starting at midnight Sunday. It's all 3 watches at his house and the Federal Building. They went reverse sen. for the most part. How many does that bring that detail up to? What the hell is wrong with the Secret Service that they can't handle him?

Soon enough, most of the 200 sworn staff members, Sgts and Lt's at the academy will be back on the street. No hiring until spring except for suburban depts. Civilian instructors will be teaching the suburban depts. with a few sworn. Those few sworn will be left behind to teach in service and the rest will be gone.
I worked the downtown detail last night. I got a kick out of the fact that we were not allowed cargo pants, baseball caps, but every federal officer was wearing theirs.
How about a nice strong showing at the FOP General Meeting on Tuesday, Nov 18, 2100 hours.
Officers should make a strong statement that we would like the Obama details to be assigned as Special Employment, like O'Hare and CHA. Time and a half for the detail and no complaining and they get their manpower.
If enough officers show up and put this out on the floor and submit written reports to the FOP maybe they will try and force the issue with the city.
2:09 a.m.
Unfortunately, that is how it works. When I was in 011, Dana Starks two year wonder "godchild" got a working day furlo. In fact, she was carried working when in reality, she wasn't even in the country - she was at the "Hedonism"

Clout baby in a unit. Duh!!
From what I see and what I've heard, it has the potential to be a good gig, BUT, with the press hovering around and the constantly being under a microscope, at this point in time it is shit.
I would suggest rather than a "detail" put it on the special employment market and let Coppers do it on their days off if they choose. Of course a much more stringent uniform and appearance policy should be enacted because we have all seen the salty KMA's at the airport looking like shit.
I was asked to work the detail and the transition headquarters and I said...
NO I WONT!
This morning's 1100 news on Newsradio 780 had JFed on saying starting next week, both details will be staffed by special employment officers.
At first he emphasized that no district was taking officers and I was yelling at the radio, but then I realised he was talking in the future tense.

Hes gonna be like Gov Blagoofovich. Commute to work everyday and waste taxpayers dollars doing it.
Just a note to correct some of the grumbling masses that represent themselves as the "real police". The Academy is just the most visble part of the Education and Training Division. You remember, the division that provides all the training you keep asking for? Just because the city won't hire anyone, doesn't mean the whole place is being mothballed. There are a number of ongoing programs that are part of the Division with ongoing in-service training. Patrol Carbine Operators Course, In-Car Camera, TARA, the Dept. Armorers, Tactical Training Unit, Firearms Qualification, etc., etc., etc.
Overall, for a Department this size, we are actually understaffed in Education and Training, much the same way you are understaffed in the Districts accross the city.
Why can't you acknowledge the bigger picture? It's hard for everyone.

I think big Jody and J.D. HOG must be reading these posts. I broke down the negatives on the Pres. security detail and how everyone would have no police experience. I also hinted that TARA is the way to go since it is federally funded and everybody is trained on it. Apparently, they are heading that direction and let us see if they make it TARA. If they are very picky they should take guys with carbine training and deploy them with a M-4 and pay them double time ;).

Um, there's nobody coming to the academy. As for Sgt.'s, there is about 20 total. I think there is only 1 or 2 in recruit training the rest are in TARA and in-service stuff. Matter of fact there is only a handful of officers assigned to train recruits.
You are right. We do have way to many Sgt’s assigned down here at the academy. Way to many! All we need down here is Mark S. The super Sgt. Here is a guy who has a whole 3 months on the street as a Sgt and then became detailed to the academy. He is going to be teaching leadership classes to other sgt’s. He sure must of learned how to be a great leader of men in those 3 months on the street. Hey, Mark S. slow down if Matt T, came to a quick halt your head would go right up his A@$….

What airport coppers are getting the Obama detail? Get your facts straight, crybaby - there are no airport coppers detailed out on that! There aren't enough police at the airport!
the simple truth is that taking sgts out of their assigned areas for this detail means time and 1/2 pay...per contract, so when those overtime slips came in some seriously stupid exempt at 35th street had to run it by legal affairs...and by next week we will bid for this special employment for overtime/special pay.....or redistribution of our taxes to the police who still wait for a working raise since July 07 old sgt looling forward to visiting Obama jobs!

Now let's see here. You claim that the officers were only given 3hrs notice to report on Sunday. Clearly, if you posted your comment at 07:55hrs on Saturday that would meant that there was a lot more than 3 hrs notice given.
One historical note: Obama will be the first President with a private residence in a major city.
Bush II - Crawford TX
Clinton - Little Rock
Bush I - Kennebunkport, ME
Reagan - Santa Barbara CA
Carter - Plains GA
Ford - (don't think he had one)
Nixon - San Clemente CA
Johnson - Johnson City TX
Kennedy - Hyannisport MA
Eisenhower - Gettysburg PA
Truman - Independence MO
Roosevelt - Hyde Park NY
President Obama's frequent presence in the core of Chicago will be a new situation, and the CPD is going to have some unprecedented challenges having nothing to do with Obama in particular.

Which cutie pie 6 year wonder sgt from 016 is going around telling everyone she's on her way to the academy on a phone order? With outstanding skills honed with a few years on the desk in 024, a few years leading TRU in DOPW's, and a momma with a homeland security job, her skills must be lauded. There is much for the recruits to learn.
There are 27 recruits graduating shortly. That will leave 23 recruits in the academy. There are 28 sgt's assigned or detailed to the academy. That makes more sgt's than recruits (some recruits have more time on the job than most of those sgt's). Yet MT needs another fearless leader to help him in his mission to ....do whatever. Jody is really doing a great job. It's all legit kid.

It's a pretty easy detail. You are assined to a post where you check ID's of all vehicles entering Obama's block of residence. At first they couldn't make up their minds on how they wanted us to do things. First it was driver in the car and passender outside. Then it was both stand outside, then it was you're "allowed" to sit in car if traffic is scarce. It's a pretty pointless task considering all the secret service already there, but it's really not all that bad. Except for the cold rainy days of course.
11/15/2008 01:12:00 AM
No! it's not pointless. If there's a bomb in the vehicle; you'll be there to set it off thus saving the SS guys.
You are the first line of defense and therefore dispensible.
Isn't this the same way that all of you "scared" people felt about Washington as mayor then only to find out that he wasn't that bad after all. Why don't you dumbasses wait and see what happens before you make your decision about Obama.
You people are silly, silly, silly.

Now let's see here. You claim that the officers were only given 3hrs notice to report on Sunday. Clearly, if you posted your comment at 07:55hrs on Saturday that would meant that there was a lot more than 3 hrs notice given.
11/15/2008 05:01:00 PM

Uh No. The Academy works Mon thru Fri. The Officers who work there were notified about 1400 hrs on Friday of the Detail. Now unless they are on 24 hr call they were given less then 3 hrs notice before the end of their tour.

I worked the downtown detail last night. I got a kick out of the fact that we were not allowed cargo pants, baseball caps, but every federal officer was wearing theirs.
11/15/2008 09:20:00 AM
Is it me, or do the federal boys look more professional than CPD.
11/15/2008 04:35:00 PM
To the Feds, we are the equivalent of The Digby Armored Truck, Security and Catfish Company.
We would not really be trusted with anything important. The Feds know how fucked up it is here. Of course there are isolated pockets of competency and professionalism in the CPD but they are few and scattered.
As if wearing the regular uniform instead of cargo pants and baseball hat really makes us more professional. They approve other uniforms and then disallow us wearing them if we are supposedly in the public view. The same uniforms departments across the country wear on camera all the time.
Look for a return of the hard round top police helmet circa 1910 and 100% wool trousers with the white piping down the leg. That and the weekly envelope for the WC and tacit approval of profit sharing on traffic stops.

11/15/2008 04:11:00 PM
That's exactly what goes on in the payroll department at HQ and it's been going on for sometime. They all know and have allowed it.
Overall, for a Department this size, we are actually understaffed in Education and Training, much the same way you are understaffed in the Districts accross the city.
Why can't you acknowledge the bigger picture? It's hard for everyone.
11/15/2008 01:14:00 PM
Oh dear Lord. PATROL carbine training, yeah right. TARA training, 5 days of letting p.o's sleep. Yeah, that'll prepare us for a massive terrorist attack. In-car camera training, we really need that kind of training. Weapons qualification, area ranges take care of that and that takes a couple clicks on the computer. How about some real training!!! But we don't need real training, we have the streaming videos to teach us how to approach an Active Shooter situation in a large building or school by watching a 5 min. video. Great hands on training. Any and all training coming out of that Academy and this Department is a fucking joke!! If only the public knew that the first responders to a school shooting incident were trained to handle the situation by watching a fucking video!! And room entry? Only for the tac teams I guess. Cuz regular blue shirts never have to clear a house or warehouse. Fucking joke you Academy people are.
I hear (Obama) was is visiting his gal at 1301 Astor - Desire Rodgers. I hear there is copper who lives next door - guess he doesn't like the secret Service telling him that he cant go home..

Quit complaining. Some people are never happy. If you are not happy, then leave. Districts are very short handed. This is not a malicious act. They need help and asked academy to provide staff to guard the federal building. Every unit is helping, so be quiet.

Shitbag won the election,so let the secret service do their job and protect his ass.This is what they did for every other president.
Why isnt the Federal Protective Service Police located @ 500 S. Clark assigned to this detail??? The last time I checked both federal buildings are federal property. I guess if they don't have enough officers here in Chicago they can re-assign officers from other parts of the US.
what is going on in 018 dist. i hear they are cancelling days off for gang and tact to work a special detail and not paying them the time and half. to get around this they are switching their days off. be prepared boys and girls the city is broke and this will occur more and more with the details or special assignments. be careful and watch your partners back.

Harold Washington was charged with failure to file tax returns for 4 years although 19 years is closer to the truth. That made him a folk hero in the black community. He also was recommended for a five years suspension of his law license amid allegations of not performing services owed to his clients. A one year suspension was what he eventually got.

11/15/2008 09:16:00 AM
Why all the attention on the academy? Training continues with the few recruits and officers from the street. Finally, officers on the street will receive the training they have been denied for years. We cannot as a large department ignore training. Instead of a streaming video or a bulletin, actual classes to learn and practice. Staff are detailed out as necessary. The same as 35th street. Some bitter officers out there.

I read here the other day that the TRU secretary gets working day mini-furloughs, taken during holiday weeks but has only 8 years on. WTF! How is that possible? Got to be contract and GO violation. I was hoping someone would clarify but the comment got lost in all the responses to the fool copper that obviously can't drive.

Please don't make this an opportunity to bash TRU, this is some major bullshit that needs to be explained. Anyone know how this is allowed?!

File a grievance then!
the simple truth is that taking sgts out of their assigned areas for this detail means time and 1/2 pay...per contract, so when those overtime slips came in some seriously stupid exempt at 35th street had to run it by legal affairs
**Same for the PO's that are being moved out of the areas that they are assigned to. Same for the house mice that are getting their hours changed.
It's all OT people. Stop being pansies and file with the union so they stop jerking us around. Fucking stand up already. You all beef about the Union not doing anything for you, but yet you can't do anything for yourself. Keep eating shit and they will keep feeding it to you!
