(Former) Secret Service Dickhead

Just proving the theory that all feds (including our current feeb) think local law enforcement are provincial rubes. From Sunday's Parade Magazine:
  • Secret Service agents have a job that they must literally be willing to die for. "Cops are trained to retreat when gunfire starts, but the Secret Service has to stand tall and go into the gunfire," says James Previtera, a Secret Service agent from 1998 to 2005 who now runs Florida's Hillsborough County jail system. Adds Special Agent in Charge Eric Zahren, an 18-year veteran, " From day one, you're part of a larger mission and operate as part of a team. It's not about you as an individual."
This was pointed out by a commentator and we have to echo his sarcastic reply that we, too, must have missed that lesson in the Academy. We will personally attest to hundreds of cops we know charging toward the sound of gunfire, dozens more chasing armed subjects, and a very few putting themselves into the line of fire to rescue downed officers. We've worked with a number of Lambert Tree winners and we don't mean the last one either.

We'll also note it was federal employees (the FBI) that left Joe Airhart behind to slowly bleed out into a coma that claimed his life 8 years later. And there are plenty of questions about who was present and their role in that debacle, even years later (no, we won't speculate or allow speculation at this time).

One of the bravest acts we have ever seen was Secret Service Agent Timothy McCarthy standing tall and taking a bullet for Ronald Reagan. And after McCarthy retired, he didn't become a prison warden like this dumb-ass piece of shit Previtera - he became Chief of Police in Orland Park. And we bet that he doesn't go around belittling cops because he did his job, did what he was supposed to do, did what his training dictated.

Previtera owes a lot of people an apology, starting with whatever police academy passed his sorry ass out of training with the attitude that cops retreat from gunfire. There's a wall in Washington DC that gives lie to that statement every single day and we add over 100 names to it every year, many of whom died racing into gunfire to save innocent lives.

Ask orland cops how McCarthy treats them. He runs that felt like he still is in the secret service. The officers have to ask for permission to use the bathroom. Get a scanner see for yourself.

Previtera sounds as if he has been "conditioned" in his jail position. I don't understand the lack of cooperation between local cops and FEEBS> Maybe that's the problwm with Sir Weis...he still wants to be a FEEB, but couldn't hack it, so he's taking out all his frustrations on CPD. Please request a visit to a psychiatrist for him? You probably cannot, but this guy is LOOPY!

I have worked with the USSS recently, and not just for a day on the Obama detail. They are just like us! Some damn good agents, a few dip-shits, just like CPD. I can tell you personally, the Agents at Chicago USSS are a great bunch of people to work with. All of them are pissed at this former agent now turn-key jail guard. We also have another thing in common, MOST OF THEM CANT STAND THE FBI EITHER!

Yeah, I think most of us missed that block of instruction... oh wait! Except for the coppers who beat a hasty "strategic redeployment" while the one P.O. was toe to toe with an armed offender in the Walgreens on Jeffrey a few years ago. Their firing was a good call but back to the feebs... They're a bunch of pasty-faced accounting & business majors with empty holsters whose only real power is that it's a federal offense to lie to them. (As if they're worth telling the truth to anyhow). Guys like this along with j-fart, burst & co. seemed to have gotten chased home from school a lot which is why they're the sublime peck-sniffs they are today as adults. I would have loved to see their reaction during a good old fashioned A/4 10-1 tour & treasure hunt back when rockwell, the hornets, the village & ogden cts et al. were in full effect & ablaze nightly. They'd probably lock themselves in the car, curl up & cry... OK feebs, curl up under your fed snuggie with a warm sippy cup of STFU... Legends in their own minds I tell ya.

Maybe point out that this FBI agent's former boss, John Edgar Hoover, loved to dress up in women’s clothing, and lived with his male secretary his whole life and was never married.

In 20+ years on this job I never once personally seen any cop run from gunfire. Some may have ran for security cover in order to obtain a position to shoot back form but not once did I see a cop ever ran away from it.

This guy is a STROKE. I am no fan of the FBI but when I hear others say, the FBI can't find their ass from a hole in the ground... I always reply, there is an awful lot of criminals in jail due to their work.

They have every edge we don't have in equipment, wire taps, manpower and other investigative tools. They pick and choose what they are going after and then spend millions to get their man.

We have to go after EVERY CASE handed to us. We can't pick and choose cases and we can't spend 3 years investigating a case and we can't spend millions on each case.

So here is a hint to this guy - We are all in law enforcement. We all have different jobs to do with very different resources afforded to us. As my father use to say (he was also CPD) if you don't have anything good to say about somebody, say NOTHING.

But then again my dad was just a CPD cop during the 1960/70/80's who was in more than a few shoot outs...He was never a big bad FBI Agent.

The use of the word "retreat" was bad. What the Secret Service dickhead likely meant was that at the sound of gunfire the Secret Service Agents around the "protectee" are literally trained to turn into the gunfire and not seek cover. If you study the footage of the Reagan shooting the Secret Service Agents stood tall and the Washington DC cop who was shot ducked down. You'll also notice that the civilians at the scene also ducked. Which is the natural instinct.

Any average person or cop is going to immediately duck down and seek cover. That doesn't mean that after determining where the threat is coming from many many police wouldn't advance if necessary to "eliminate" the threat.

I went to school with a guy who was Secret Service and spent a few years in protective duty and they literally spend hundreds of hours teaching them to overcome the natural tendency to seek cover at the sound of gunfire.

Unfortunately, we don't know exactly how the dickhead in question meant the answer to be perceived. Maybe the reporter took his statement out of context or didn't explain it fully.

This guy is a serious arrogant sob. I no we never were told to retreat. Great example of the Feeb BS. If I remember correctly wasnt it the Feebs that retreated and let Officer Airhart almost bleed out. The arrogance of some clowns just amazes me. This guy is a complete creep.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder how many Feebs have been killed by gunfire over the last 50 years. A statement like that just proves the arrogance and cowardness of a Feeb.

Off topic, but did anyone read the Secret Service article in Sunday's Parade Magazine? A former Secret Service Agent states, "Cops are trained to retreat when gunfire starts, but the Secret Service has to stand tall and go into the gunfire."

Trained to retreat, huh? Did we get that block of instruction in the academy? I must have missed it. I would like to encourage your readers to stop running away from shots fired calls, and give thanks to that agent for "standing tall."

We were "taught" something called a "tactical retreat". Maybe you missed that.

This has been taught in the academy as well as being "retaught" in the simulator for years.

Nothing wrong with a tactical retreat, stay alive, stay smart and keep your partner alive.

THat is a huge difference from being in INVESTIGATIVE BRANCH OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
ATF, DEA, FBI - INVESTIGATIVE BRANCHES.

When he needs police service, hopefully he'll call Washington DC instead of 911.

Caught that article in Parade over the weekend, and after reading it, I realized that what was "written" wasn't news at all, just a bunch of over the top, sensationalized BS.

Colonel Jim Previtera assumed command of the Department of Detention Services on October 6, 2008. He first joined the Sheriff’s Office in 2005 as the head of the Training Division and Recruitment and Screening Bureau. Colonel Previtera came to the Sheriff’s Office from the United States Secret Service, where he served as a Special Agent in the Vice Presidential Protection Division. Colonel Previtera also served as a member of the training staff at the Secret Service Training Center in Beltsville, Maryland, and as an agent in the Tampa Field Office.

Colonel Previtera began his law enforcement career in 1986 as a deputy with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and held several patrol and investigative assignments. He was assigned as a corporal in the Special Operations Division when he departed for the Secret Service in 1997. Colonel Previtera has also served as an instructor for the Southeastern Public Safety Institute and the Florida Sheriff’s Association

I wonder if the guys he worked with while he was just a patrol officer in Florida knew he would run away from gun fire?

First I would like to acknowledge the Dallas P.O. killed in the line of duty last evening, Rest In Peace Officer.

Second

I have never retreated from anything as the Police, as a Detective I had to work with Feds from ATF, FBI, DEA, SS, and the Postal Inspectors. With the exception of the ATF and Postal Inspectors the rest are useless in an investigation.

What makes the difference with the ATF and Postal Inspectors, the fact that many of them were Police Officers before crossing over.

Want to know who runs burris, heres your answer:
Roland Burris closed out his campaign fund in 2004, despite the fact that he still owed a wealthy Chicagoan over a million dollars - a debt that Burris carries to this day.

A check of Burris’ final campaign finance report, filed in early 2004, showed Burris owed Telephone USA Investments Inc. almost $1.2 million. The debt was incurred during Burris’ unsuccessful gubernatorial primary bid in 2002. Burris lost to Gov. Rod Blagojevich, among others.

The loan was said at the time to be "the largest contribution from an outside source in Illinois political history."

The company is owned by Joseph Stroud, who also runs Jovon Broadcasting Corporation. In all, companies controlled by Stroud contributed or loaned over $1.6 million to Burris’ 2002 campaign - out of the $2.1 million Burris raised in total. That’s about 76 percent of all the money Burris raised during that cycle.

Guess who this guy now contributes heavily to. Also see the type of "benefits" have come his way.

When I was in the academy back in the 80's an instructor once yelled at me: " get the fuck down college boy, you ain't in the secret service no more, if you want to stand up and not shoot in a combat situation go protect somebody who won't give a shit about you when you're dead."

I understood his instructions clearly, but was confused by him telling me to "go back to the Secret Service". Later I told my only relative on the job what he said and he looked ominous and told me,: "he thinks your a plant or something".

Against his advice and being pretty young and dumb, I decided to have a talk with the instructor. You'all know how good that went. He noted that I shot "like a fed", (won't get into the weaver, modified weaver, etc.) and few other what he called tell-tale signs…with a few fuck you’s thrown in for good measure.

Much later, I "accidently" knocked him on his ass, good clean sucker knock-down in the gym with reasonable and plausible deniability. I had spent three weeks being a klutz around him. As we untangled I whispered without moving my lips as close to his ear as possible. “don’t call me a fed”.

It was the first time I saw him actually smile. “When you get to your training district, punch the first cocksucker who says that to you college-boy, or else its going to be very fucking lonely on a 10-1”.

Somehow I doubt the training is the same these days down at O’Conner.

I have no point other than to say to that weirdly mis-shapened headed faux-supt.,,,
>>J-Putz, the resentment runs very fucking deep, you are doomed to failure, maybe you should go to a district and punch someone…get some street cred…

Most everyone should know that a reporter will take words out of context, mis-quote, and generally make us look stupid. This guy was a deputy in Florida for almost 12 years before he went to USSS. I'm pretty sure he has an idea on what we all do. He was also the head of the training division before being moved over to the jail. This was following the videotaped dumping of the wheelchair bound prisoner to the floor by guards. The only person I trust less than a fed saying "trust me" is a reporter say it.

That would be my guess, as well. Oftentimes the media 'customizes' their news content to enhance their story lines and, quite honestly, could very easily have edited a quote without even realizing they may be touching off a firestorm of controversy.

In many professions, not just law enforcement, there is a tendency or need to take pride in your personal choice or 'team'. While most people may have these personal biases, it is rarely a good idea to make them public.

I applied to the USSS when I got out of the Marine Corps and these pukes had the balls to accuse me of lying about what I did in Iraq. Can you believe that shit? When I asked the empty suit interviewing me what he did before he became an agent, he told me he was the real police in some small suburb of San Fransicko with no military experience. Fuck the USSS!

Maybe that's what they call it in the Army. Tactical retreat i believe is out lawed in the Marine Corps. Semper Fi.

Semper Fi........

Neither one of us were in any of the Armed Forces. We both have family member's that served in many of the branches of the US Military, including the Marines. And have worked with many more. We do remember though, being taught in the CPD academy, that a "tactical retreat", which is nothing more then a "regrouping" to gain shielding,distance, movement, to gain and advantage on the offender's and return fire. We by no means were talking about running away and fleeing, just a strategic move to outwit and outsmart and aggressive enemy and stay alive.

Thanks for serving in the Marines, and as my dear uncle who just retired as a Colonel from the Marine Corps would say, FINE JOB SEMPER FI!!

Peace to you.

Couple things I'd like Dickead to clear up.

1. How long was his career in the Secret service?
2. How many years were spent in dignitary protection?
3. What specific dignitary did you protect?
4. Cite any examples in which you saved anybody from death or great bodily harm?

Can you hear the crickets?

Last time I checked Secret Service Agents are assigned to counterfeit money investigations. I think it takes a long time before you're talking into your sleeve or running alongside armored limos.

No President has been assasinated since JFK and no attempt since Regean(Unless you count the tossed shoe) so a)You were present for both and really fucked up or b)You have never been anywhere near a President whose life was in jeopardy.

If you did dignitary protection it was probably for some widow whose protection was provided out of respect for her husband's service.

I'd like to extend an open invitation for Dickead to ride along with me in Area One. I'll try to ride on as many hot calls as possible.

The Depends are on me.

Isnt that what the Marines did in Falluja, Tactically retreated?
When the Marines are knee deep in the shiznit, who bails their asses out continually?
The United States Army. That scenario has been played out in numerous Combat Theaters time& time again.
So you know what you can do with your Retreat policy bullcrap.

Sometime around 1980, I remember seeing a commercial on TV that was sponsored by, I believe, The National FOP. They were beginning to solicit public donations to establish and build the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington DC. This was an appeal to the public to donate to the NLEOM Fund. It was a masterful one minute 'movie' that profoundly affected anxious viewers.

It takes a cameras-eye, knee high view from a dirty side street, into a litter-strewn alley. The camera angle never changes. It takes a slow but steady approach toward the mouth of the alley. Looking down the alley, it is pitch black, and nothing is visible other than some shadowy movements somewhere in the blackness. You can hear some rustling sounds and some muffled voices, Then someone shouts something unintelligible, and glass breaks. Suddenly, in the back of the alley, there are two quick muzzle flashes as gun shots ring out into the night. Then silence! A narrators' voice now definitively states, "MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T GO DOWN THIS ALLEY FOR A MILLION DOLLARS!"

Next, while the camera is still slowly approaching and now entering the alley, the distinct sound of a police radio crackles to life with the call to a police unit, "...Unit332, a report of SHOTS FIRED, SHOTS FIRED in the alley...". In seconds the sound of a siren approaches and flashing emergency lights begin to wash the dark alley with swirls of red and blue. Now in the alley, the camera 'hears' two officers jump from a car and race past the camera into the alley on foot, and then beyond sight of the camera. A voice calls out "DROP YOUR WEAPON!" then another muzzle flash and gunshot ring out.

While still peering down the murky red, blue and black alley, the narrators' voice returns and says, "COPS DO IT FOR A LOT LESS."

Then came the request for donations for the Memorial Fund. We never do find out what happened in that alley, which adds to the heightened sense of anxiety.

The feeling that I got watching that commercial 25 or 30 years ago hasn't waned. I've always felt that it was great PR for our profession and often wished that it should be run periodically... just because.
I'd love to see it again... anyone know where old commercials go to die?

WHOOOOA!

The article ("They'd Take a Bullet for the President") which appeared on pp. 4-5 of last Sunday's PARADE newspaper magazine attributed the following quote to a former member of the USSS, Col. James Previtera, currently the Cmdr. of the Hillsborough Co. Dept. of Detentional Services:

"Cops are trained to RETREAT when gunfire starts, but the Secret Service has to stand tall and go into the gunfire." (Emphasis mine).

I spoke with Jim Previtera in Tampa earlier today.

Jim stated that back in October, he was interviewed about his USSS career by Ms. Daryl Chen, Parade's news editor. He had no further conversation with any other Parade staffer, including the author of the article, Christopher Reich.

Jim states that he was taken out of context by Parade on the "retreat" shitstorm.

He added "Through my experience, I have tremendous respect for the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and my brothers and sisters in law enforcement. I regret that Parade magazine chose to take my statement out of context which understandably infuriated the men and women of our profession. God bless and protect the courageous officers of the CPD."

On a personal note, Jim would again like to convey his gratitude to the CPD officers who brought his daughter from the Westin Hotel to the United Center for the Bulls game last January.

I also contacted the office of Chicago SAC Tom Kelly, Dept. of Homeland Security, USSS as well as Parade editorial asst. Megan Brown. Ms. Brown advised me that Mr. Lamar Graham, the executive editor would return my phone call.

Instead, I received an eMail from Mr. Graham, the text of which has been forwarded to SCC if he/she/they care to publish it on this site at discretion.

Mr. Graham's eMail address is:
Lamar_Graham@Parade.com

Should anyone wish to contact Jim Previtera, either forward your message c/o me at cpdfop7@yahoo.com or post on this thread. Jim, the USSS and Parade are all aware of the SCC site.

Standing tall? Hmmm.

In the 15th District, around 2002 (sorry I can’t remember the exact date) there were three 2-man teams of Secret Service agents watching for a guy (counterfeiter I think) with a roving 2-man team driving around the area near Laramie/Ohio. That’s 8 armed agents. While on their surveillance a local teen with a BB gun and an apparent dislike for guys that look like Forrest Gump blows out a rear door window from the primary surveillance car. Did they charge into the gunfire? Well, not exactly. All four teams immediately bug out of the area and then they, yes you guessed it – call the police.
We are told to meet up with them at their strategic retreat point about 2 miles away from the scene and about an hour later we’re zooming back in to the area with about 20-30 agents and about 5-6 squad cars and a wagon. We grab everybody in the area (reasonable suspicion, don’t bother me with details Goober?), run name checks, question everybody (the guys sent to help from A/5 did that) and in general bully and pester everybody until we get the info on who committed this dastardly deed. I guess it’s OK to violate people’s civil rights as long as it’s for a Fed’s benefit. Then, while we’re there (and I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself) the guy they’re originally looking for drives by in a bright metallic green box Chevy! You gotta love it. A 15th District sergeant stops the car and after securing the guy the agents swarm around the car with shotguns like the LA shootout was going on. Several agents search the car and find zip – the same 15th District sergeant searches the car after the Secret Service guys and digs up the driver’s loaded .45 pistol buried in the seat cushion.
Yes, I know they protect the POTUS and have really good looking hair cuts, but as for standing tall…what do you think? They’re more like us than they would like to admit – some good, some bad.

OT: Recently every Democratic leader within speaking distance of a microphone was condemning Blago's pick of chump Roland Burris and swearing he wouldn't be seated.

This week they are all doing the DC two-step and shuffling and jiving and are all smiles ready to welcome Burris into their special club. They are also scrambling to place blame somewhere, fall chump of the day is Jesse White who claims "I am no fall guy."

Sure you're not Jess.

A clearer example of the type of spineless gutless leaders we have could not have been staged by Martin Scorsese in a movie.

We now have, or soon will have, US Senators Dick Dufus and Roland Buffoon.

This is shameful. And of course none of them have the guts to call the "Black Caucus" cry of "this seat must go to a black" for what it is, blatant racism. If anyone wants a black, or a red or yellow of pink, to go to the senate then go get fucking elected!

There is not a black person on earth who has an entitlement to anything because they be black. That sickens me almost as much as Dick Dufus lack of guts or Roland Buffoon's lack of any discernible qualities entitling him to sit in the US Senate.

We are, rightfully, the laughing stock of the world. All that bullshit in the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution is just that, words reduced to bullshit by totally useless leaders.

I am seriously considering Australia or New Zealand upon retirement. Do you know that voting in Australia is MANDATORY? Yup, you get fined if you fail to vote. They get damn near 100% voter turnout in their elections.

And since you probably won't confront me as a man (again, read "COWARD"), maybe, just maybe one day you'll figure out how this job works and how to keep coppers from getting BS numbers. And just for good measure, I'm not getting D-3 pay for NOT knowing how to make the right decisions when playing Sergeant.

Good agents have a mutual respect for for the cops we work with and realize the cops bring the most to the table. Most of us left our PD's because we got tired of PD bullshit. It's usually those agents with no PD experience that have the "FU I'm a fed mentality" and we think they're deuche bags too. These guys give us all a bad rap.
Also, for what its worth, we also think 95% of all Feebs are useless, anal pricks.
Be safe...

Well, I'm not surprised at North side’s post.

The media are whores.

My experience in meeting many Vietnam vets in the 5th Special Forces is that the real soldiers which were in combat and did extraordinary things, selfless, heroic things, virtually NEVER talk about it.

The media hero's like John Kerry that have battles of fiction seared in to their brain can't stop talking about what hero's they are.

Likewise, most people in business and other fields that the media build-up and the objects, the people who allow such articles to be written about them, over time, generally prove-out to be frauds.

There is a place for competition but no member of the REAL Secret Service or the REAL POLICE would ever belittle another law enforcement colleauge in order to look better.

I am seriously considering Australia or New Zealand upon retirement. Do you know that voting in Australia is MANDATORY? Yup, you get fined if you fail to vote. They get damn near 100% voter turnout in their elections.

This once great country is a shadow of itself. what a shame.

I also have worked with GP and say with 100 percent that he knows his game and would never leave a brother hung out to dry nor provide ammo to westside mutts- theres a method to his madness and hes been around long enuf to know how the game is played, and how to win the game. Youd be happy if u could have half his knowledge. And so you know, you aint gonna ruffle his feathers trying to call him out here - hes much smarter than you, trust me. GP's the real deal. Get more than 3 or 4 yrs on and MAYBE youll see how things are done, kid.

I think you might be misunderstanding the term 'ghost', as used in the referenced post, it doesn't refer to 'ghost payrollers'.

TO THE 5 YEAR WONDER RIPPING ON GLEN P. - The "coppers" that he told the good citizen to call and beef on were a CCSP home monitoring unit. If your too blind/misinformed to see that GP was sending the natives on a wild goose chase, F-U, dumbass! Know the facts before you spout off at the mouth, jagballs.

WHOOOOA!

I spoke with Jim Previtera in Tampa earlier today.

Jim states that he was taken out of context by Parade on the "retreat" shitstorm.

He added "Through my experience, I have tremendous respect for the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and my brothers and sisters in law enforcement. I regret that Parade magazine chose to take my statement out of context which understandably infuriated the men and women of our profession.

First: Thanks, Northside, for your obvious effort to clarify this mess!

Second: As I've read through the above comments, how sad is it that we as a profession are so willing to backstab the fuck out of each other 'in public' like this?

Third: Every time this kind of erronious thread rolls through a 24 hour span, and people get riled up like a hornets nest, it brings me back to Gilda Radner(RIP) in the early days of SNL.
Gilda would appear on Weekend Update as Rosanne Rosannadanna and start ranting about something or other that was actually a misinterpretation on her part. Jane Curtin invariably would interupt her and correct her in the middle of her rant to which Gilda would always say "Oooooh? Never mind"

Given the sincere apology and plausible explanation of an out of context quote by the media, I'd like to think a bunch of us might be thinking right now... "Ooooo? Well never mind"

Do not want to spill laundry about the 111th and Springfield incident, but careful with spreading rumors, it appears it was an accident and nobody is hiding anything.

that's funny, I can't find any secret service agents that were killed in the line of duty. unlike the 1000s of police officers I was able to find.

I'm not that smart of a guy, but it does not take a genius to figure out which job is more dangerous.

He says sorry and it is taken out of context. I'd love to know how his statements were misconstrued? I do not see how his statement could be misunderstood for anything than what was printed. Show me your interview transcript and then the apology will be accepted, else keep being a stuck up feeb.

Without a doubt this guy is a newbie or never had a clue. Even when I first started in 011 GP always gave out great advice on how to cya and always watched out for other coppers to make sure they weren't going to jam themselves. As funny as it would be to watch GP work a shift with magic marker on his forehead this sissy won't have to balls to confront him. GP is good people, the kind you wouldn't mind taking a bullet for or a flying shoe.

Speaking of embarassing, anyone know who the Female Lieutenant is who lives in 022 and has a company car.....she was apparently late for work today and from Western to the expressway, had her lights and sirens on so people would get out of her way. Traffic on the ryan as stopped and she continued with the emergency equipment....get up a little earlier for work LIEUTENANT and you wont kill anyone on the way to your desk job.

I'll take a wild guess that you were one of the sgts. with a perfect written score that was "flunked" by the 80% weighted (after the fact) "oral board" (ExamScam).

To me, "da job" and hunting down bad guys was the most fun you could have with your clothes on. If I were independently wealthy, I'd do it for free just for the adrenaline rush and the satisfaction.

Then along came LeRoy Martin, Richard M. Daley, Peter Karl and my original "lawyer", Richard J. Brzeczek. They turned my CPD into a living Hell. I don't dwell on it anymore. Life is good.

Hopefully, a special spot in Hell will be reserved just for them. The "Chicago Way" and clout don't mean shit to Satan.
