RIP Pool Car
Our pool car died this week. It only had three days left until retirement and had served its purpose well. Barely 187,233 miles on it. One window didn't move and the other needed an assist to keep out the drafts and rain. Not that we cared, but driving it for a full tour meant finishing the night dizzy from the CO poisoning. We started most nights a quart of oil down and thanks to a generous garage mechanic, managed to finish the night barely a quart-and-a-half low. Tonight, the captain said we might as well walk a foot post because there were no cars citywide.
We mention this only because someone named "35th street eyes and ears" told us exactly where we might find our new vehicle:
We mention this only because someone named "35th street eyes and ears" told us exactly where we might find our new vehicle:
- The unmarked car in front of the Lt. from Management and Labor Affairs. Is there a need for an emergency grievance resolution?
The unmarked car in front of the Sergeant in charge of IAD records. Is there a need for an emergency disciplinary record?
The unmarked cars in front of some twenty (20) alleged "call out" Sergeants from IAD. This one is pure bullshit. The only reason they have cars is a reward for being asshole stoolies for Chief Fat Ass Can't Afford a Decent Wig Tina.
The unmarked car in front of the Director's of Finance and Personnel. I guess the need for an emergency check at 0300 hours exists - and the need for an emergency personnel order at 0300 exists - yeah right!!!
The unmarked cars in front of the numerous "hair gel" police from Information Services. They are there to ensure if some Commander's Blackberry is not getting his Tribune updates correctly is addressed.
The unmarked cars in front of numerous other administrative personnel who have never had an "emergency" call out.
That's where our anger should be brought to bear. Not on the "working Police" who really need the vehicle to perform their jobs.
One last comment. Just exactly why does the Superintendent's 5 year veteran "driver" have a nice new Crown Vic to drive home every day? Just another "blue tooth phone stuck in the ear" phony bitch.
We guess we won't be expecting that car for another year or so.

I always pegged you for a bike patrol kinda guy, SCC!
I assure all the SCC readership that as a resident of Beat 2211 and having the privilege to live near Lt. KG (the Lt. from management and Labor affairs) we fellow officers are all well aware of the car LT. KG drives. As a taxpayer Im happy he takes such good care of the vehicle by hiding the car way in the back of his side drive on the 104th block of "you know which street" in Mt. Greenwood.
Good ole Keith was an OPS investigator before he became the police and has kept inside jobs for the most part ever since. He use to joke with the guys at work he didn't know how much gas cost when it was over $4 bucks. What a dickhead.
Your kidding right??
J-Feds driver has a take home car??
Why not give us all take home cars? I suspect that we would take better care of them.
My squad only has 143,000 on it. A/C still blows cold even though I had to have a HVAC guy take a look at it, and 30 minutes later and a case of beer later it worked well enough to make you look for a sweater!!
Thanks fleet...It didnt need a new compressor
how about the marked ford crown vict. that sits at midway, on the sidewalk in the arrival lane? from the outside it looks in good shape, if it is a good running vehicle can't we switch it out with a dying pool car? just curious...
Ahem... I believe the pronunciation is blue "toof"
You forgot the Unmanned, MARKED CAR (Blue & White) that sits on the side of Ald. Burke's Old Mansion; and for what? Isn't enough he has 6 Bodyguards (POs) making Sgts Pay, and who all only work the day shift and continue to clock in overtime? At his new mansion he even gets the "Blue Light Special Treatment". He has a POD Camera across the street from his new mansion on a block, in a an area and location where there is actually no crime to warrant the camera. Anyway, does it surprise anyone of all the special treatment. Oh! I forgot, Ald and Mayor voted that they can never be investigated by IGO or Chicago Police. Diplomatic Immunity at its best. We'll continue to leave it up to the FEDs.
Same thing on the CFD. The take home cars is how Daley awards his minions. Seriously, the city could save MILLIONS by making these clout humps drive their own vehicles.
you guys missed the sup and aunt bea on division last night ... Hanging out laughing having a good old time. Some kid asked if he could take pic with the sup...... Sup told him no .
SCC...just a word of caution. Be careful what you publish. Given exact information about certain facts can even be figured out by idiots at 35th Street.
5 cars in one area 3 district had no heat. we were told there are no pool cars "make due with what you got."
When I first read this I started to laugh, wanted to leave a comment about how the car should have gone on the medical until retirement. Then I realized how serious this is.
Perhaps all the cars should be called in for the "celebration". If you have a car you better have it available for use that night. But knowing the city they probably will have all the pool cars assigned to the areas where destruction might occur.
Stay safe out there. Come home to your families and watch out for each other.
You should be fine since J-Fed said people need to behave themselves “We can’t have foolishness. We can’t have mischief".
Daley is telling everyone to come on down, then you have Ray Orozco saying Revelers will be turned away from Grant Park on Tuesday if too many show up for the Obama election night fest, city officials said Friday.
Stay safe, a wife that will be at her summer home out of state that night.
THIS JOB SUCKS!
My pool car's a piece of shit and its still better than my regular car. And there is no camera in it.
they better pull something out of their ass because the new schedules will require extra vehicles.
i wounder if they considered that ?
You be suprised at who has unmarked take home cars, more suprised who has take home cars and not members of the CPD. Fleet, has the ability to use any car for any agency deemed to need one, except marked. The amount of bullshitters using unmarked cpd pool cars was greatly controled when the CPD conatroled the fleet the last two assholes who commanded EMMD would not give pools to asset forfieture, iad, labor relations when theirs cars went down. But fleet even gives cars to garage managers, who are never called out, and are fleet employees. When the CPD was in charge having pool cars was JOPB #1. Not only does the mgmt of fleet not care about the working cop, they car nothing about cityzen protection, they wanted the cps money to help off set their waste. Remember when the CPD ran it they actually made money for the city in terms of warrantee recovery and salvage operations to name a few, bring the fleet back to the Department, that would give even J-Fed a boost.
"...the sup and aunt bea on division last night..."
Out dancing?
how lt from stragetic deployment(works the pods)
SCC,
Stop being jealous. If you had worked hard and kept your mouth shut you would have had a spot and a car also. I earned both and I am not ashamed to have them.
Yes, you would be surprised how many people have unmarked take home cars. You would also be surprised how many people are on call, and do get called out to support patrol activities at night. The response is required by numerous general order. Not being a company man, mind you, but you must know, labor agreements require personel on stand-by (call out) to be paid at a rate of time and a half just to be on standby. NO UNITS PAY THIS, because many years ago there was a cost benefit analysis conducted and personel were requested to volunteer to be on call, without stand-by pay, in return they were allowed to take the cars assigned to their units to and from work, no where else. All the vehicles could be reassigned in patrol; but the cost would be paying time and a half to many just to be on call. If one person was on call the single cost would be 6846 hours per year. No just think that there are at least 10 people on call in various units at all times that is 68460 hours per year. Long ago it was decided that cars are much cheaper than payroll, as there are little requirements like increased payroll contributions that would be expensed to the city and unemployment compensation payment. So, bright guy, everyone in the department feels your pain; and in that spirit I refuse to be on call anymore. Now the city can have the car assigned to me and PAY ME. I will buy a Mercedes and you can wait for my response to assist you, or your watch commander, etc..... The problem is the city bought very few cars this year because of problems with Ford fleet sales. It is taking some time to get Chevrolet to make the fleet (cheapest cars and truck they make) vehicle required. So think a little deeper, try to understand complex business decisions and wait til all the new fleet vehicles show up in January. I will enjoy the new overtime checks. That is all
Dude wheres my car?
Granted there are only a about 8-10 po's in the animal abuse team . They all have corvert & or unmarked squad cars . When did this unit become covert ?
what the f*ck Jfed ?
FLEET SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET RID OF THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!
I FOUND A REALLY GOOD ALLEY MECHANIC WHO KEEPS MY CAR FROM STAYING DOWN AT FLEET. ONCE THEY GET YOUR CAR, IT'S A FIGHT TO GET IT BACK. NOT TO MENTION THE WEEKS THAT GO BY.
HQ BITC*ES .... GIVE UP YOUR CARS IF YOU HAVE ANY POLICE BLOOD LEFT IN YOU. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT USIG OR TAKING A CAR HOME OR KEEPING IT PARKED AT HQ WHILE OFFICERS SCRAMBLE TO FIND A CAR FOR THE TOUR...... WHO THE FUC@K IS RUNNING THIS SO CALLED FLEET MANAGEMENT???? LETS GET SOME ANSWERS SCC!!!!!!!!
SCC.......LETS GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BULLSH*T. IM TIRED OF RIDING AROUND IN BROKEN DOWN POOL CARS.
The unmarked car in front of the Director's of Finance and Personnel. I guess the need for an emergency check at 0300 hours exists - and the need for an emergency personnel order at 0300 exists - yeah right!!!
Its funny because when they cut the order for the SCABS to take over the Mo-Bama detail we were told that "they start tomorrow (sat) but there is no one in personnel to fax out the order until monday"
I have an idea, get in your take home car and drive to 35th street and put the order in the fax machine. Wait that would be too hard to do.
Disgraceful. But typical of the Chicago political climate.
We currently have 3 Tact/Gang unmarked cars down with no available pool cars in an A/2 district.
you guys missed the sup and aunt bea on division last night ... Hanging out laughing having a good old time. Some kid asked if he could take pic with the sup...... Sup told him no .
Like by Mothers? Or by Wicker Park?
Maybe there is a blossoming romance there. Love on the 5th Floor perhaps? They're both perfect for each other. Dumb & dumber.
I bet Sneed will have a blind item..."seen canoodling together blah blah"
I just can't believe those two people are the head of the one of the biggest police departments in the country! It's SHOCKING!
"Good ole Keith was an OPS investigator before he became the police and has kept inside jobs for the most part ever since. He use to joke with the guys at work he didn't know how much gas cost when it was over $4 bucks. What a dickhead."
He was never a worse fit for this job than when he was the "tact lt." in 007. A seriously dificient street boss if I ever saw one. One day he even had us go out and conduct a "reverse sting" right on top of a spot that Narcotics had been working a mission on for the past two months!
That was by far the most boneheaded move I've ever seen.
Needless to say, narcotics people were more than a little pissed when they found out what we had been doing at their mission spot at the request of Lt. Keith. If there was ever a man who should never be released from Headquarters and returned to the streets, it's KG.
This should be a vocal union concern.
As the contract should be addressed NOW vocally, for the rank and file to see where their dues go...not a fishing or golf outing.
The whole FOP encumbancy should be dumped, or a new choice (pro police) opted for.
What about the marked car with no emergency lights parked infront at 105th st just east of pulaski. Apparently this guy ain't even the police yet he drives around a car that says Chicago Police. He might have to make a mail run in the middle of the night or something. Wonder who he knows?
IAD 's misuse of the cars is a joke. The Sgts there were not allowed them under Minogue after one of the Sgts decided that he didn't need to answer a "call out". When that midget idiot Rowan got there she allowed her minions to take home cars again which effectively took away the cars from the actual investigators who needed them to drive to the slums on a daily basis. The cars that once were used by a team of investigators now "belonged" to these worthless Sgts. God forbid you need to use "their" car. As for the call out team, it is only a handful of Sgts each month.

=================================
Who is holding a gun to your head to stay then?
Don't give me any bullshit about how you are too far along in your career, have too many obligations, your kids, etc.
If you don't like this job, leave. I'm quite certain you'll be able to find similar salary for a comparable workload--NOT!
We get paid pretty well in this day and age for what we do. I have friends in the private sector who make much less and work many more hours.
Life is too short to be unhappy and miserable.
Take away everybodys take home car. If some boss needs to be called out after hours then compensate him/her 3 or 4 dollars a mile for a round trip from their home to their destination. On police shootings I'm sure you would see a dramatic decrease in the number of unneeded bosses at the scene. Bosses could drive their personal cars to the scene, or to their unit and pick up their assigned car before going to the scene. There is absolutely no need for all these administrative people to have take home cars. Daley says the city needs to save money. He would save probably millions in gas, oil, tires, brakes, and overall maintenance if nobody had a take home car. We all drive to and from work in our personal car. To and from court in our personal car. To and from ERPS to get evidence for court in our personal car. We do way more duty related driving than the commander of Management and Labor Affairs, or the civilian Director of Finance, or ..............
Ok, this was explained by a frustrated motormaintenance employee, so not sure if its just rumor or what, but here's what theyre not telling you. In the past, at all areas motormaintenance, now fleet used to use old parts from damaged cars. Since Fleet and NAPA took over The police department repairs, they no longer use the good parts from damaged vehicles. Why? It's because every part has to be ordered brandnew through NAPA. Yep. (NAPA? "Friend" of Daley, and from the Neighborhood) Lets say a brand new squad car or any squad car for that matter has total rear end damage. The front of the vehicle INCLUDING THE ENGINE is of course, in mint condition. The sensible thing to do is to drop the engine in another vehicle. Nope! The vehicle is sent off to be destroyed. Even if your vehicle needed a damn rearview mirror, steering wheel, decent seats, air conditioning unit etc., NAPA is killing the budget too. But you don't hear about that.
absolutely correct. We inspect that car every week and it works very well. We could easily switch it out for a dead pool car and hook up it's lights to an AC to DC transformer and runs its lights all day. We used to have it running constantly but it burned too much gas.
At his new mansion, Burke even gets the "Blue Light Special Treatment". He has a POD Camera across the street from his new mansion on a block.
When I work a POD mission; I can peer into the bedroom windows. Did you know that.....I better not say. Maybe I'll get promoted.
Having been involved in driver training for the dept,I know that we as a Dept have decreased our crashes by 20% compared to 10 years ago. Our reward? The Department just buys fewer cars.
Just using common sense, when you have a new car, almost everyone is extra careful not to put the first dent in it. When you have an old beater, who cares?
Other depts have discovered that keeping their fleets updated is actually a good thing, less crashes, less IOD's and officers on the medical, less lawsuits from citizens, less maintenance costs, some resale value, etc.
It is very sad that the Dept thinks so little of us that we have this vehicle problem.
SCC...just a word of caution. Be careful what you publish. Given exact information about certain facts can even be figured out by idiots at 35th Street.

are you kidding me? This fake ass department cant even figure out where the key for the shotguns is, let alone figure out who is blogging what! This fake ass department is in REAL trouble when something real (ala 9/11) happens! Im talking straight up FUCKED!!! so blog away... only 2+ days left until Obama riots 2008!!!
Jfed has a driver with only 5 years on the job??? How did that happen and whos crank is this guy suckin??
We haven't a decent car for our whole Team ever since it's inception, as the Detectives are supposed to give us cars they don't have........I 'll take anything with under 130,000 miles and maybe heat.....No need for computer, power windows, or other luxuries,,,,,Waiting when they are going to call us in Area 3 to install our M4 mounts and warp speed......
Don't worry...J-Fed said we're gonna be getting SUV's soon...along with the assault rifles, a new training center, the latest in computer technology...
Whether they are take home cars or not it doesn't matter. You think because your regular car breaks down they are going to give you that persons take home car??? That vehicle is assigned unit. The fact is that this department is running on the bare minimum, from officers, vehicles, pdts, and radios. Anyone with a take home car that breaks down I guarantee you will be calling for someone to pick them up from the garage because there isn't any pool cars to give out, unless you are some big wig political hack.
Maybe on election night the world and Olympic Committee can see how the CPD is understaffed and ill equipped.
Thanks for the heads up. I have a contact at Fleet that can check the records of all vehicles and their current mileage.
It will not be hard to piece together your identity with all the other little clues you left.
Too bad. I acutally liked the frankness that came with anomimity.
SCC...just a word of caution. Be careful what you publish. Given exact information about certain facts can even be figured out by idiots at 35th Street.
Don't worry. We changed the actual total miles by 52. We won't say whether we went higher or lower in case someone actually has a "contact" in Fleet who'd try to peg the mileage to an actual car. You never know who might have that kind of time on their hands.

Good luck with that car search friend. Be sure you get back to us with those results. We're sure J-Fed has already used his "contacts" at Fleet for the same thing.

You are a fucking mush of the softest degree. You pay to get your squad car fixed? No car, no tour, no problem.
hey asshole telling evryone to quit and talking about the private sector, FUCK YOU!. we don't get paid for what we do, we get paid for what we might have to do. the private sector knows exactly what they are in for every day they go to work. we don't. shootings, foot chases, domestics, fights etc. tell me the last time the private sector responded to a "shots fired call." tell me the last time the private sector ever had to respond to a ghetto domestic knowing that no matter what decision you make you know you are getting cr. the private sector can live anywhere they want. we have to live in the city which taxes the shit out us and has shit schools. it takes a special breed of person to do our job. any douchebag can sit behind a desk all day.
Stop being jealous. If you had worked hard and kept your mouth shut you would have had a spot and a car also. I earned both and I am not ashamed to have them.
Blow me ass wipe. How about the take home car the Lt.KO from the court section parks on 113rth st.
Big wuss never went to court as a copper, now workin over the working police
not only records in iad, but all the sergeants there take cars home.
"It will not be hard to piece together your identity with all the other little clues you left."
So instead of addressing the issue of these deathtraps that put Officers & the public @ risk, you're going to use it to out someone?

What about all the cars sitting 1950 west 39th street
?????????????
I counted about a hundred parked cruisers.
I always thought it was over flow parking for city wide.
All take home cars should be marked cars
I'll let you borrow my wife's '94 Camry---it smells a little mothy, but otherwise it's a good runner with 212,000 original miles. Ice Cold AC!

You forgot the Unmanned, MARKED CAR (Blue & White) that sits on the side of Ald. Burke's Old Mansion; and for what? Isn't enough he has 6 Bodyguards (POs) making Sgts Pay, and who all only work the day shift and continue to clock in overtime? At his new mansion he even gets the "Blue Light Special Treatment". He has a POD Camera across the street from his new mansion on a block, in a an area and location where there is actually no crime to warrant the camera. Anyway, does it surprise anyone of all the special treatment. Oh! I forgot, Ald and Mayor voted that they can never be investigated by IGO or Chicago Police. Diplomatic Immunity at its best. We'll continue to leave it up to the FEDs.
11/01/2008 02:33:00 AM
And his guys work a created schedule 2 on 3 off who do I blow for this?
What about the new black unmarked with all the bells and equip., parked at the corner of 53rd and sout menard everyday! Is it even driven?
We have no cars, nothing new the state police in Indiana just got a "fleet" of new crown vics, lower taxes but we have no money and no cars,radios that are shit, a omec center that goes down on various zones, batteries that don't last' old radios, and exempts who have to sit to pee, and the 50 morons will never stand up to king of crime daley! You reap what you sew mayor freido!
LONG STORY BUT WORHT IT...
I have a few years on the job and a while back we had an HBT incident IN 025. A guy is having a domestic w/ his girlfriend and he gets a little nutty. She manages to call police and say she is being held against her will and he has a gun. A sarg. rolls on the call and is first on scene. Knock on the door, guy states everything is fine, sarg is askin to talk to girl when she bolts out the door hysterical. Guy slams door and calls 911 stating he's gonna kill self if poe poe come in. Sarg, then calls SWAT and makes it a job. I'm assigned traffic control down one of the blocks. SWAT guys are showing up when I see a regular car flying my way. I'm telling guy to stop, he's holding up a star, pulls up and says he's SWAT. So I let him through. This occurs 4 or 5 more times. When the job is over my partner is talking w/ a SWAT guy he knows. I ask why the have covert cars and he says THEY ARE THEIR PERSONAL CARS. These guys do not get take home cars and have to respond everywhere in their OWN CARS. No wonder it takes forever for them to show up when there is a job. YET HERE COMES MONIQUE BONDS IN HER COMPANY CAR. I guess it's more important to address the media about an incident then having the guys there that need to handle it. THIS CITY IS SOOO FUCKED UP IT'S SICK.

Sorry, not true. We strip old/damaged cars all the time.
And NAPA has nothing to do with Chicago.They are out of PA.
We at EMMD don't fix your cars because we don't have enough people. Currently we have 28 vacancies (mechanics and electricans---no upper mngt.) that are not going to be filled.
And just try getting your squad fixed after dec 15th. The rumor is 21 people will be laid off. But again, no one from upper mngt.
Hahhahahahahahahahah NAPA! Of course they'd be a friend of Daleys! About every eight years or so they get caught up in a scandal of packing refurbished parts and selling them as "new". We now know where their next batch will come from. Daley ought to get a nice tossback from that. I have to alert all my car blogs like Samba know about this ASAP.
Why is there an unmarked car parked in front of a Lt's house that works at the Academy Monday thru Friday 8-4 with Sat and Sunday off? What does that Lt respond to?
"stop being jealous" means he/she worked hard to get the $500.00 to grease the alderman/woman to get the do-nothing spot he/she now has and the take-home car that enables all his/her neighbors to know when he/she's home instead of where he/she is supposed to be and all of we/us to know his/her business. So stop hatin'. Having an entire neighborhood and police department disrespect you like that doesn't come cheap!
Yeah yeah yeah, you got this idea from my posts. Be original! :-)

The guys who brought this to our attention should get a medal. The "chosen few" already have good jobs. I guess they are so spoiled they need the little extras to go along with thier specialness.
Im glad someone is finally exposing this abuse of the system. I work with hard working civilian employees who earn less than 40K a year who just recieved lay off notices. They will be forced to take 3 unpaid days for the remainder of 2008. These are single moms (don't care how they got there) who are trying the best to raise their kids. If these perks are taken from sworn members earning in excess of 100k a year so be it. Sometimes you have to look deep into your soul. These employees deserve better. If by taking these cars away these ladies can keep their hard earned money - let it happen.

Okay "BIG GUY," I didn't realizing alley mechanic meant free. I assumed you were a big enough stroke to pay for it. I know strong arming the local piss bum alley mechanic to fix the cities ride makes you feel like the real police, but it's pathetic. Please remove your lips from the bosses left nut. If our going to put somebody else out to fix the cities car, you are an asshole. One more thing BlowJob, I lock up Joe every night, but only because of pride, not because the boss tells me too. The minute my Sgt starts to slip, I let them l know. So you, my limp dicked friend can continue your legendary run at being "The Ulitimate Suckhole."
Where is the UNION on this issue, in bed with Fleet?, or do they get unmarked cars to keep quiet. At one time union leadership was all over EMMD about the cars and lack of pool cars, and thats when Hillard (a bafoon) brought in two people who actually made the place do what is was designed to do, providethe best vehicles possible for the money they had available.
So the concept of Fleet handling the CPD arose after a scandle at the Fire Department. Hillards team actually made money for the Department especially in the area of salvage, increased warrantee recovery from 0 to 250,000 yearly, created strict standards as to who go pool vehicles with district law being first on the list.
So now that considration to hire consultants is being made, someone should reach out to those two guys who last ran EMMD, and offer them $60,000+ to make the department fleet work again. Besides it was worth going to garage 1 just to listen to them two guys argue with each other everyday, but they did a lot of good.
License Unit Lt., and four sergeants all have take home cars. License Emergencies???
