Captains On the Way

Posted in the CO Book and read at roll call, Incumbent Captain Bids are out. Our Captain said (s)he wasn't going anywhere so don't get our hopes up. But that means they'll be blessing Captains in a week or two. How many and who are they?

Lt. Bipolar just started serving a suspension yesterday. Don't have the full story about why she's on unpaid furlo, but odds are good she'll be coming back from vacation as a newly-minted Capt.

God save us all.

Mostly all from Headquarters without a clue about district law enforcement and angling for a gold star. Thay will come into the district start telling the LT. who knows the watch everything they have done wrong, piss everyone off and move on. The people who have been doing the job don't have a chance.

Captains are doing their Round One bidding right now. After that, they do a Round Two bidding to see if anyone wants one of the spots vacated by a Captain who decided to move in Round One. Its after this second round that the new Captains will be given an opportunity to move around.
No good word yet on when the class will be announced, but it is getting close.
Also, we still don't know if they are going to do it like the last time where 25 or so people are trained for captain, but only 10 are promoted right now, with the rest getting promoted as needed. They might go back to training only what they are promoting right now, like it used to be. Maybe someone at the academy or Personnel can help on that.

ot

About 5 years ago the Pension Board was contemplating moving and the land across from the FOP was discussed, at that time the statement was made by Robert F. Reusche President, (City Appointed Trustee, Retired Vice Chairman of the Board of The Northern Trust Company), made the statement, that we had a star, and that we could use public transportation free. This was BEFORE the remodeling and a NEW lease was signed.

One of the best perks in this lease is ALL employees and trustees get a FREE MEMBERSIP to the health club in the building.

The 10 year lease was signed with an option to opt out after 5 years, at approximately $15,000 a month. We are now at the 4 year mark in that lease.

With that being said, at the Pension Board meeting last week, a credit union representative spoke to the Pension Board trustees, offering the Credit Union Building for $4.5 Million, and that was the starting figure, it is negotiable . AGAIN, the statement was made by Mr. Reusche, we could use public transportation. Kenny Hauser made the argument that it would make life easier for the retirees, disabled officers, and all CPD officers in general to have the office across from the FOP.

They don’t want to make it easier for you get to a Pension Board meeting. They don’t want you to know what they are doing.

The Pension Board has not made a final decision yet, so if you have strong feelings on this issue. You should start showing up to the Pension Board Meetings. If you can’t make a meeting call the office, 312-744-3891.

Kenneth A. Hauser - Vice President kenhauser@chipabf.org

Mike Lazzaro - Recording Secretary mjlazzaro@chipabf.org

Mike Shields - Elected Trustee mikeshields@chipabf.org


James Maloney - Elected Trustee jmaloney@chipabf.org

The big question is; will they issue Indiana Jones costumes to all the new male captains?
That former Research & Development Ranger captain who looks like Steve Buscemi wears his Indiana Jones outfit to work on the third watch in that little northside lakefront district. It helps him come up with new top ten missions and handouts for the troops! He never wore clothes like that before the big promotion to captain, but what would you expect from a guy who is that cool. Just ask him. Don’t worry T, us ladies really do dig it and you! Ha!

Come on Mr. Reporter, there are a HELL of a lot better stories being fed to you guys on this blog, run with those, not this story, unless you make it about the manpower shortage the city refuses to address, which was probably the reason CFD got there before CPD.

Whats the point of having captains when they essentially do the same duties that a lieutenant does? You can make a Lt or Capt an exempt. You can make a Lt or Capt a watch commander.

When they brought capts back years ago they said capts will forever stay in a district and never be able to be made exempt. That turned out to be another bunch of BS.

Capts exist for no valid reason except to drain our pension.

Given the chaos in the management of the department over the last several years and the lack of morale at all levels, anyone who aspires to Captain and above ought to have a rapid-fire escape plan. No matter how good a job you may try to do or even may be doing you're a target for every malcontent going by. Lt. is still the best job on the Dept.

Question. If being a Chicago cop is so shitty, then why do you all do it? There are better places to live than Chicago, and other career paths that would probably be more reasonable.

Let's face it, the city can't go to Hell without you because it's already in Hell. And it will be until they're willing to call out the National Guard, etc. and finally acknowledge how bad the gang situation has gotten.

Won't happen. Joe S. from 018 is too good a boss, one of the last of the real good bosses to work for. They don't make good people like that, only strokes and know nothings and the concubines of the strokes and know nothings.

There are going to be 25 lieutenants put into the captains class. Of those, 11 will be immediately promoted to captain. The remainder will go on a list and be promoted as needed.

Word is the following people WILL be captains within two weeks:

Cathleen Rendon
Vic Guerrieri
Sal Avila
Ron Sodini
Jeff Mappa
Tony Ceja
Chris Fletcher
Lupe Pena

Pay attention to the above names, and remember where you saw them first. Remember... The promotional process is 100% legit.

Plus they are payiing the Bid LT's and the Captains, time and a half to wok as the watch commanders. The promotions, you know they will be fucked up, will actually save money---may not be good for the guys/gals on the street but at least you'll know who you are working for, shit or not... Better than the "Boss" who doesn't want to know anything and doesn't want to deal with anything or make any decisions because it is not his/her district and he/she thinks you are trying to middle them by telling them what's going on....

Not too good, If you have insurance with HIG- harford - good luck on ever collecting. If Nationwide ever starts to falter, I am out of the deferred comp- got 400l up- would rather pay taxes than lose the whole thing.

So I got stuck working the desk because the W/C got sick of the allegations piling up from me asking all strumpets and the rummys if they want to fight me. I was sending a fax and noticed one had came in. Like with any fax I come across I took a look at it before I threw it away. To my delight it was a copy of Big Bird's application to be a Capt. and it went something like this:

Name: Big Bird
Occupation: Tattle Tale, formerly worked at Chuck E. Cheese as the mascot (I love a good rat!)

Favorite Movies: Critters 2: The New Batch, Serpico, Meatballs, Willow, Krull, and No Holds Barred starring Hulk Hogan!

Favorite Books: The Collector, Nudist magazines from the 50's, Cat Fancy

Education: Three full seasons of Sesame Street, Two seasons of the Electric Company, and one season of Garfield Goose

Favorite Music/Songs: anything with a good beat....One Night in Bangkok, Putting on the Ritz, All the Young Dudes, and the soundtrack to the movie "Neverending Story"

Hobbies, pastimes: Going to Santa's Village by myself to think about all the cops I dimed out. Going to Queens Bay to feed the ducks...one lucky duck I take home with me, where I take it to my garage, beat it's brains out, then devour the creature, feathers and all.

Heros: Benedict Arnold, Dirk Benedict, Joe Valachi, Frankenberry , Marion Barry, Shazam!

Accomplishments: ????

Favorite Threads: Members only jackets and a 1979 Deep Purple tour shirt that I wear under my uniform.


With credentials like this I don't think the department has much of a choice. It will be Capt Bird anytime now.

Vic Guerrieri
Sal Avila
Ron Sodini
Jeff Mappa
Tony Ceja
Chris Fletcher
Lupe Pena

Ok, let's look at this list of names:
I can see Vic making it, if he even put in for it; Avila, Sodini, Ceja, I would say no; Fletcher is a good and competent guy, I could see it; Pena I could also see; Rendon is on the transfer order to 012 on change day, so either she is making it and wanted it to look like she made it from Patrol, when in fact she is from Personnel, as acting Director until a civilan got the spot, or she is done in the building and decided to at least grab a good district; we shall see soon enough, but bet on quite a few females and Ike's brother, per my earlier statement.
Don't forget that Petersen is in Weiss's ear so expect a few "D" unit Lts. perhaps, Staples, Bieblel(if he even put in) and a few tac Lts. from Dugan, watch Lts. need not apply i'm sure....

ahhh and the worthless dog ass pussy speaks... I worked the A3 sat team for a while and all I have to say is THANK GOD 019 3rd watch has the Captain it does... CL was there before and you want to talk about breeding a bunch of dog ass whiners! MR does what he can with that crack pot watch... Guys go to 019 to, lets be honest, NOT DO SHIT... so when MR makes them do work, they cry, piss and moan! Nobody feels sorry for you cry babies in candy land that are told "do some work please if you want your time off approved" or "do some work please if you want to start at 1500 and not 1800" or "do some work please or you cannot leave early every monday, wednesday, and friday to attend your pilates class"... GROW THE FUCK UP! This is a fucking JOB, not romparoom! I hope MR stays put for a long long time to make your pussy lives a bit more difficult! And before the somments come about being A3 sat team, I am now in 015.... so save it!

Yeah..but you bitch ass volunteered to A/3 you pussy. And being a SGT in 015 doesn't count, A/3 douche. You will forever be known as a Area 3 guy. haha

I hate to say it guys, but the guy from 015 who was ripping the guys from 019 who were ripping Capt. MR,was right. I also work in one of the slower districts and it amazes me how much the guys beef when a Sgt. or Lt. asks them to do something. I mean c'mon, is it too much to ask you to do something? And I'm not really talking about doing anything special. I'm talking about them asking you to simply do your job. How about a mover once in awhile or maybe a few parkers or curfews? How about really paying special attention to that Special Attention the Sgt. gave you? How about actually doing a little foot patrol especially in those nice districts along the lakefront in Area 3 when it's warm out instead of hanging out in a Starbucks? I mean c'mon, when they ask you to do something (like your job), it's not as though they asked you to dig a hole or chop wood. Most of you wouldn't last the day in the private world. How about showing a little pride, a little self respect?

...Capts exist for no valid reason except to drain our pension...


3/01/2009 08:51:00 PM


Actually, not true. The job of field Lt was always considered to be the best job on the dept.

When Daley wanted to control all of the capt spots, he ended the rank of capt and created "watch commanders" so he could appoint the clouted and stop "undesirables" from making capt by taking promotional exams. when almost all the capts were gone thru attrition, he brought the rank back as a 100% appointed merit position. These capts were TOLD they would be given preferential consideration for exempt promotions but in reality it was a lie.

As far as Capts existing for no valid reason except to drain our pension, rest assured that their real purpose is allow the daleys to function under cover of "darkness".

Ok, I keep reading here the the rank of Capt has no reason to exist.... I beg to differ. Without an established WC, you are left with 2, sometimes 3 LT's that take turns being wc, depending on day off group. So on any given day, you have a different WC with a different agenda. WIth a Capt, even when he is off, the watch cannot change too much because he is gonna be back in 2 days.... At least with a Capt. there is one high rank in charge that runs the watch (for better or for worse)

You are SO WRONG, in fact it is spelled out in the contract that Captains are definitely in line for exempt spots. Right now there are about 20 captains who have been promoted to exempt, with more to come. And that is just in the last 4 years or so... Also, yes the city wanted to keep captains in patrol...

>>>OT: Any po's from 010 know anymore about the paramedic getting a part of his thumb bit off at 2500 w.40th. Of course the comments over the Suntimes is blaming CPD for not responding on time. It seemed the girlfriend called for an ambulance not CPD. Will we have to ride on every CFD run now?

3/01/2009 05:37:00 PM<<<

It was 2601 W. Cermak at the Little Ceasar's Pizza. A lot of 010 cars tied-up on the usual Saturday night B-S, including a fatal accident and a water main break.

So why did Ambulance 34 get there first?

That’s because the girlfriend called for an ambulance, not the police because her boyfriend having a seizure. (Translation: really fucked-up on dope!)

So when Ambulance 34 gets there and calls for a "Fire Dept 10-1" the Blue Lights and Sirens go on. Sorry the paramedic was hurt, had to admire his cool and toughness.

The bad guy gets in and out of the hospital when he gets off his dope-sick high. The State's Attorney quickly approved felony charges and that was the right thing to do. If it was a cop with the same injury...

A lot of times if I see a CFD Ambulance, or and engine pull up to a house and I will stop and wait to see it they need anything.

Daley is lying about how many police are out there. But we will have the Olympics, no matter what!

The city will only hire 200 cops this year, not enough to keep up with retirements. But there will be a surge of new hires in 2016.

Here's a clue Joe..nobody gives a fuck...you probably got dumped because you were henpecking people with some clout, and they rocket launched your ass.


RULES FOR SUPERVISORS:

No one likes a micromanager..especially if you are not an exempt..do your job, supervise, treat people fairly, make sure everyone is doing their job..THAT'S IT!! I will call you if I need you, and if I fuck up call me out on it..that is your job. Pretty simple

Actually it got bit off at 2601 W. Cermak. The city in general shows up to every ambulance call late because by the time their dispatchers communicate with our system the ambulance is already their. The first call CPD recieved was an ambulance 10-1. By that time the damage was done.

Actually, if you remember what it was like when there were no Captains it sucked....Each Lt wanted things done their way, right wrong or indifferent, there has to be a trump card and that is the rank of captain....and they pay into the pension based on their salary I believe as does everyone that gets a bump up to D-2, D-2a etc....

Sweet Christine has softly landed in 016 effective today.

Now the near-fatal injuries to her ego that resulted from being ceremoniously dumped back to Captain last year have had the chance to heal, helped by almost a full year of 100% legitimate time on the medical roll. She's tanned, rested, and ready to do battle with the legacy of Bipolar Ed for the heart and soul of 016's fortunate sons and daughters. What a tag team.

Also heard the Norridge PD and management of Harlem Irving Plaza have been gracious enough to give her an honorary disabled parking spot (for time served on the medical) in front of Perfumania for her 1977 Pacer Wagon. Anyways, at least she no longer has to suffer the indignity of legally parking the company car.
