Swiper Returns

Can it be true?Two Districts have been chosen to swipe in and swipe out starting 01 January?

If so, it's the beginning of the end.

It's true I saw the fax. For now it will be headquarters, 007 and 009. The gravy train for the chosen ones appears to be over. It sucks for everyone though and you can bet that soon we'll all be swiping in and out. I wonder if they'll insist this is for officer safety also?

Hi People, Missy here again,

Glad to see our beloved mayor took my Uncle Tom Byrne'(rtd) advise and will make you slugs work.

Yes people, I suggested this to my uncle Tom two months ago. I am proud the mayor took my idea and made it law. "Swipe-swipe swipe" people.

I work 9 hours on my feet in snow people, writing hundreds of parkers, what do you people do to help our dear mayor? You slugs complain, that is about it.

I will call this "Missy's Blitz" on New Years Eve;

This New Years Eve, I am working
3rd. watch and not getting paid out of shift. Why you slug people ask ?? To write a thousand parkers so the mayor can get the Michigan Ave bridge done right.

I am going to write anyone, that includes all you slugs that collect a check and never write one parker a day. Look for me on North Michigan ave and the Rush street area. Yes people, I can and will write you more them one parker if the law calls for it. I live by the "MCC".

If you are a worker and want to join in on the blitz, look for me . I take no coffee breaks, I am short and a little on the heavy side and will be wearing my rain coat. You can watch and learn from me people !! My uncle Tom is looking for workers to write revenue for the greatest mayor of all time. See me and uncle Tom will get you to work the new parking ticket detail. No SLUGS need apply.

Ira, my lawyer former ACLU attorney wanted me to tell you that you should take a pay-cut! Ira is very smart and still thinks a security guard will suffice in what you slugs do.

Take care people, and Happy New Year,
Missy 018 district parking ticket guru

Hey, the same thing happened when 015 opened...just disregard it like everyone there did; no one got gigged, no one ever asked...if you read that announcement, it's from the City (read Shortshanks) and not from our Dept., it doesn't necessarily have to be "the end..."but it does appear to be getting closer

RoboCOP 2 on tonight.

I see so many similarities between our city of Shitcago and the fictional city of Detroit that the movie takes place in:
1. Corrupt corporation trying to take over the city: movie-->OCP Chicago--> Daley crime family and other 11th and 19th ward politicians and the democratic party machine.
2. Rampant drug abuse: movie-->everyone is addicted to NUKE, Chicago-->everyone is addicted to crack, heroin, meth, or weed.
3. When RoboCop gets reprogrammed all he does is enforce stupid city ordinances and preach about being "nice": ie: anti-smoking laws and preaching to kids about not swearing.
Shitcago--->CAPS
4. Evil corporation trying to screw over the workers by not offering a fair contract and treating everyone like babies. Movie--> Cops striking and rampant crime. Shitcago--> no contract, unreasonable City demands to revamp discipline process and a huge increase in homicides.

Policing in Chicago can be summed up by Robocop2. remember to swipe in boys and girls and go and get those heads for Jody, word is he wants 400 homicides next year. I'm guessing for more like 800.

Effective 01 Jan 09 members who are assigned/detailed to Central Police HQ, 7th(once the new district becomes operational) and 9th district will require all members to swipe in AND out.
Any more questions see DN 08-48

Bad enough working in 007 and working for Roy in 009, now you have to swipe in and out....Can see some par forms being filled out, but according to this directive more units will be announced via the AMFN message system

I can see the first two, but never at HQ. I worked there forever and believe me those people are barely doing 6 hours, then you factor in their 2 hour lunches and you've got a 4 hour work day. They are all bosses pets and they'll be taken care of.

Absolutly true. It will be city-wide by end of the year. The order has already been written. I know for reliable source that our leader wanted this completed before he came in and we all know what happen -- that idiot starks took the blame and was given a cush job to shut up about it. Well all you new district-wide gang teams better make sure cards are in working order. If the beat guys have to swipe you guys will be swiping as well. What is the benfit of working gangs now?

According to the order, you have a 7 minute window to swipe in AND out. Now lets see, If there are some 50 or so officers in line waiting to swipe in and another 50 waiting to swipe out, that will probably cause some overtime! Put in your OT slips!

I hope the swiping includes all the little hidden units. Its about time that certain chosen few who get carried by bosses over and over again are made to work or use their time. So much fraud is perpetrated in these off sight hidden units that some people actually expect to be taken care of. Over and over A and A's have been doctored or held up until the next day just to make sure whose being carried dosen't step in some shit. It really is time for this to end. 8 for 8. No exceptions! No special cases for hidden units. All part of the Chicago Police Department. Police Officers and Detectives alike. Make it real for all. Might actually improve moral.

I remember back when the schools had to start swiping. There was something about a Daley friend or associate that received the contract on the machines. I think they were called Kronis. I'm retired and try not to think of those days.

I used to come in early and tutor for free and stay late to make sure things were completed. We never got anything extra for that. Not even recognition for trying to help some kids read better or learn to write a sentence.Nada.

Good luck with the swiping.

WHO IS IT THE END 4?

ITS BEEN A LOOOOONG TIME SINCE SLIPS WERE HELD!

GANG AND TACT MAY B A DIFFERENT STORY. IF A COMPUTER IS CALCULATING ARE TIME WHAT DOES A TIME KEEPER DO. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE WATCH COMMANDER SHOULD BE DOIN THE BOOKS.

THEY HAVE TIME 4 TV AND BOTHERING THE DESK CREW ABOUT THEIR LUNCH.
THEY DONT APPROVE CASE REPORT AND BARELY KNOW HOW TO WORK A COMPUTER.
ASK THEM ABOUT A WEIRD CRIME AND THEY HAVE TO COMB A LAW BOOK 4 ABOUT AN HOUR THEN THEY CALL THEIR SGT DRINKING BUDDY FOR ADVICE.

THEY DONT COVER 4 ANYONE INVOLVED IN DOMESTIC OR DUI'S ANYMORE. AND TRY AND ASK 4 A FAVOR GETTING A RELATIVE OUT OF CUSTODY FASTER ITS LIKE ASKING FOR THEM TO THROW THE CASE.

SO JUST THINK OF THE SWIPER PUTTING THE CAPS OFFICE AND THE DESK DOLLIES ON AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD. THEY KNOW HOW MANY HOUR THEY WORK. JUST PICTURE THE STREET LT. ACTUALLY AT WORK AND NOT SPLITTING THE SHIFT.

HEY BOSS CAN I HAVE 4 ON THE END MY BROTHER IS GETTING MARRIED?

Enough about the swiping paranoia, please. I can't speak for this detective that someone posted about getting in trouble. Its the first I've heard of it. But look at it this way, if they make the swiping legit, then that would mean all the illustrious gang and tac teams would have swipe in and out, and work complete full tours, and we know that's never going to happen. In this current climate, they'd have a record amount of these guys coming back to the watch. If you can't leave early on one of the Delta Force teams, then what's the incentive to stay on a team? Being able to wear blue jeans and a Mr. Pibb t-shirt? I don't think so. Same old bullshit. I have never swiped in, and you know what happened to me? Absolutely nothing!!!!!!

The quickest way to shut this down is to make it cost the city $$$$$.
1.Late arrests every day.
2.Quit using comp time when you're sick. Go on the medical every time you don't feel well. Don't work sick.

The city will get the message quickly.

the swipe or not to swipe issue is no big deal. Just play the game and when the pilot program is reviewed by hq it will be put to the wayside. It is just another ploy during contract negotiations to demoralize the troops and then we'll feel better at whatever shortshanks throws our way.
This will make traveling to hq not so apppealing and every unit not so attractive but the lunches will be longer, that will accomidate having to work eight hours. And for that matter all units except the lowly beat car...

No need to fret. I've already consulted with the crew that were duplicating our debit cards. They've assured me that they can clone the magnetic strip on our ID's as well. All we'll have to do is designate a different copper to stay late on a day-by-day basis and swipe the whole team, desk crew, etc. in/out at the appropriate time(s).

Unfortunately, this same counterfeiting crew made no guarantees that they'll be able to duplicate retinas when the Mayor implements that method of time-keeping.

Swiping in and out will be a cold blast of reality to the secreataries,office people,C.A.P.S. and tact/ gang teams. A lot of them have seldom, if ever,put in a full 8 hour tour. Now they'll have to be accountable for 8 hours just like us "common folk" slaving away on a beat car. I'm sure the Commanders dollies and C.A.P.S. etc will be trying to figure a way around this. After all they're too special to play by the rules. Goodbye to the 3 or 4 hour days in blue jeans on the weekends. Oh wait that's right they usually don't even make an appearance on the weekends!
It's rather obvious that the powers that be are determined to crush what little morale might have been left in these 2 hard working districts. Fuck this department and fuck this city.

I've always used the phrase "Keep 'em stupid" when referring to the animals we are responsible for babysitting on a daily basis. (I know most coppers will know what I mean by this).

From all indication through your grammar, spelling and interpretation of Westside, Inside Do-Nothing's post, it's painfully obvious that it won't be a stretch to keep anyone with whom you may interact at a dumber level.

What's really disgusting, Goober, is that you're REALLY too fuckin' stupid to see the sarcasm in posts like this. And yes, I may be a goof, but I'm a highly educated goof. I also have common sense. Why people of your intelligence level are able to get on this job is yet another reason this City and Department blow. Can I assume that you're a boss???

I am not in patrol but I do agree, why they start with patrol is beyond me. You poor guys have been hit with the hammer enough already for no good reason.

What it will affect is alot in the D unit and specialized units who have to work overtime due to a case, and the commander asks you to eat it and says "I'll make it up to you" and never does.

Too bad now Department. This is another fine move that is going to bite you in the ass bigger than you know.

JUST SO YOU KNOW....WETHER YOU SWIPE IN OR OUT....IT IS NOT LINKED TO THE PAYROLL..IT WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR CHECK EITHER WAY....SO UNLESS ORDERED...DONT SWIPE..ITS JUST ANOTHER TRACKING DEVICE...BUT AS ALWAYS,YOU WILL GET THE SHEEP..TO DO IT BECAUSE "THEY SAY I HAVE TO"...DONT DO IT..BELIEVE ME...NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!

Um YES IT IS. I am not sure if it was the same order or a different order but there was something for timekeepers regarding the swiping order. It said something like the swiping in and out will automatically populate the A and A's and that timekeepers will not edit the times for any reason. Sounds like swiping is for real this time.

The city has to justify buying all those swipe boxes. We did this twice before and it usually faded away. I'm not going to get worked up about it.

Question - When are exempts going to swipe-in-out. Hey Bosses, do not live under a cloaked sleave - this includes J-Fed. Endorse someone else J-Fed for office. What is next? J-Fed may endorse people/folks for political office.

if ever,put in a full 8 hour tour. Now they'll have to be accountable for 8 hours just like us "common folk" slaving away on a beat car.

Please, if you are "slaving away" you have no idea what you are doing on this job. Remember, we make our own day no matter where we work!

The rest of the real world doesn't get shot at, spit at, punched or any other group of assaults directed at them. Whenever you civilians have that happen, who do you call, BITCH??!

That's right. You call the real men and women to take care of your problem because you are too scared to confront the big bad wolf.

That is why we get paid what we do. Now go crawl under your rock like the bitch you are and stay there until we say it is safe to come out.

I hope the swiping includes all the little hidden units. Its about time that certain chosen few who get carried by bosses over and over again are made to work or use their time. So much fraud is perpetrated in these off sight hidden units that some people actually expect to be taken care of. Over and over A and A's have been doctored or held up until the next day just to make sure whose being carried dosen't step in some shit. It really is time for this to end. 8 for 8. No exceptions! No special cases for hidden units. All part of the Chicago Police Department. Police Officers and Detectives alike. Make it real for all. Might actually improve moral.

Shut up moron

No need to fret. I've already consulted with the crew that were duplicating our debit cards. They've assured me that they can clone the magnetic strip on our ID's as well. All we'll have to do is designate a different copper to stay late on a day-by-day basis and swipe the whole team, desk crew, etc. in/out at the appropriate time(s).

Unfortunately, this same counterfeiting crew made no guarantees that they'll be able to duplicate retinas when the Mayor implements that method of time-keeping.

You have got to be a complete idiot or a boss! Hard to tell. Why dont you post something else to give us abigger clue.

We don't live or work in the 'real world'. The rest of the world sleeps at night, has a 5 day work week, keeps a normal schedule, wears their hair any way they see fit, sits at home Christmas morning with the family and has weekends open for ballgames and christenings.

The rest of the world calls US to search that dark alley they're afraid to walk into and to wrestle the coked-out nephew who's torn the house, and one of the women in it, to shreds. The rest of the world doesn't see dead babies in plastic bags, mutilated animals, eyes popped out of sockets and deliberately scalded children. The rest of the world isn't told it's their JOB to handle the body that's been festering in 90 degree heat for a week. The rest of the world is sipping a nice, cool lemonade on a summer's evening, while we're sitting in a sweltering van, watching scum soliciting sex from pre-teens or selling dope to suburban visitors.

We don't just get paid for what we do. We get paid for what we know. Just like I can't change a catalytic converter, I bet you can't write a court complaint, or a request for a search warrant, or a narrative on a homicide case closing that'll pass muster in court, testify at the grand jury, know how and what you can and can't inventory, and why. Do you know what a real pen looks like and what a single-shot gun (that LOOKS like a pen) looks like? Well, we do. Our lives depend on it.

We get paid to go where none of you wants to go, to do what none of you wants to - or COULD - do. I'd just bet no one's ever called YOU when a possible bomb was discovered. When it's dark and scary, we're that thin blue line between you and all the bad things in the world. And then there's that little matter of being the target. All the time, the target. Of shots fired, of knives in the hands of lunatics, of heavy objects thrown off the roofs of project buildings, of lawsuits and of stupid rules, regulations and bosses.

So, please, go pull the blankie back over your 'real world', snuggle in and get a good night's sleep. We're the ones who make it possible for you to live in blissful ignorance. And that's worth more than eighteen bucks an hour.

What about midnight workers like nurses, bakers, factory workers, truck drivers driving 16 hours straight? Newspaper delivery people living in poverty?

What about the guy working the register at 7-11 who gets his brains blown out while working HIS 2nd or 3rd job.

When I walk into a domestic or a "man with a gun" call, I use by head and don't take any stupid risks. AND I make $40.00 an hour as I watch the crack-head democrat run out the back door.

If you don't like your job writing parkers in 020 on 1st watch; go get a job at Taco Bell working the drive thru at 3AM when you get a gun stuck in YOUR face and can't shoot back cause you're making $6.55 @ hour and don't have a Glock pistol on you.
I worked a beat car for 21 years in the ghetto before I made sergeant and NEVER bitched like you spoiled kids

Stop whining typical crybaby copper and don't ask me for "lunch on the end" . . You had a dozen opportunities to get your lunch in and just want to duck early so you can go out drinking at Teasers and tell police stories.
