Even Better News
In light of "the List" debacle, we're trying to cheer people up. Here's a good story:
When the report of the fire came over the police radio around 4 a.m. Friday, Officer Timothy Gould and his partner realized: “We’re right here!”
They had been out on a domestic disturbance call, but quickly turned their attention to the blaze in the three-story apartment building at 7847 S. East End Ave.
Soon, the 54-year-old Gould was breaking out a window, climbing atop a chair to reach a 10-foot-high window and searching for the man inside who was screaming “Help me!”
Would that every day had at least a few stories like this. Nice job Tim.

TIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job, brother! Worked with you in the days when 005 was fun!
good job soldier. i get more joy from getting a '' thank you'' from the victim/his family than a ribbon anyday.
Unfortunately, Tim got a cr number for breaking the window. This was his 5th and he is now on the list.
im surprised tim fit his fat ass through the window.. j/k nice job tim!!!
-former 005/1st watch
please keep up the positive and cheerful stories...they are actually making me feel better and less worried.
AS THE STORY WILL BE TOLD YEARS FROM NOW IN DA HOOD, " A POPO KICKED OVER THE LATERN WHILE DOING A SEARCH WARRANT LOOKING FOR UNCLE BOBO, AND STARTED GRANDMAS APARTMENT ON FIRE. DAMM POLICE. NICE JOB TIM, FROM YOUR CHA CO-POLICE.
I hope that the guy he saved was worth it 76th and East end is shit
How come I didn't hear about this on the news?? Nice job!! The news media sucks.
good work Tim
you're one of CPD's Finest
As far as the list is concerned, there are 2000 names on it which means there are roughly 7,000 PO's who haven't done a thing in the last 5 years! THAT should be more of a concern to these nitwit attorneys looking to line their pockets at our expense.
And this story about the fire is a perfect example: I have no idea if this fine officer is on the list, but even if he had 100 CR's, HE SAVED A MAN'S LIFE by risking his own!!! How many more lives are saved by the alleged "bad guys" with 5 CR's every damn day?
Had the City fought these handouts from the begining instead of trying to save money by not going to court, maybe we wouldn't be here today. The Corp Counsel has created the Ghetto Lottery. Thanks.
Hey Tim nice job
Way to go Tim!!! Talk about low key, I see Tim every day and didn't even know about the incident until I saw his interview on Channel 5!!!
You're my hero!!!
I'm sure dude will accuse TIM of "breakin' into his crib" and stealing his 50' plasma.
Hey boss j-fed how about a reward? Not a stupid ribbon maybe a week off extra with full pay would be nice! Set a new example j-fed and give the officers something for all their hard work! Be a regular guy jody!
Beyond corruption running rampant in city hall, moral that is scraping bottom, bosses that are just “yes sir, right away, we’ll throw them to the wolves” , a superintendent that is clueless on what it’s like to work the street because he’s never done it…
There’s Officers out there doing their job in spite of what BS they have thrown at them. There’s Officers like Tim Gould… Nice Job!
If he was on Jody Who Has Our Backs shit list it is too bad for him.
The good thing in the Jody Who Has Our Backs tenure here will be when his contract isn't renewed by the Stuttering Prick in less than two years and Jody packs up again and scampers out of town.
Then we might get a contract.

LMAO!!!!! Thanks for the sarcasm
good job, office
Let me guess, this is only news coverage of this heroic act by a CPD.
good job officers, its just a shame that the only recognition we get is when we act like firemen
Great job officer. You are a true hero and you showed true bravery. You are a great example of what police officers are made of. Thank you for a job well done. Police officers like you are what make me proud to be a police officer.
Don't know you officer, but what a GREAT job. I'll be cheering you on at an FOP award presentation. ( I hope)

Good job Tim, Still out there doing it! Worked with you back in 005 on mids. Finally some good publicity!
From a citizen.
Amazing Great Job Officer!
Officer Great Job! Don't know you but you certainly are a Hero!!
I think he owes it all to proper training from his F.T.O.
Great job Tim. Worked with you in 005 when I first made Sgt. Always a prankster which was great comic relief during the time C.W. first came to the district. Glad to hear you're ok and all went well. These are the stories that the public should be hearing about more often. J.O.
We're all hero's ....
brothers in blue
Thank you. Thank you for reminding us that when necessary, we rise to heights most normal people can't even fathom.
Good job.
Good job former 005 sgt
Great Job Tim. Remember the time u kissed Brownridge in the lips when the two of u had a big disagreement. It was all fun and even though u guys were going toe to toe, u found a way to make everyone laugh. You are a great guy.
Sincerely,
Former 5th district watch friend
Once a great Cop, always a great Cop, nice work Tim...
Baby, you're the best!
NICE JOB TIM!!! You had "Hero" traits even when we were in the academy. Citizens in your district are lucky to have you there.
Word from 35th! Looks like it has been a year for jodys "leaders" to lead! How many failed and how many will be removed come 01April? lets hope all and get rid of the non police,jody,masters,brust etc......
If they want a list, give em a list; 5 CR's for everybody!
not too often you see all positive comments about the actions of an officer. Usually there is someone trashing his/her actions. But in this case, there is no trashing of Tim cause he is a stand up guy and a great policeman. I too had the pleasure of working mids in 005 with Tim back in the day and to him, this was second nature. Nice job buddy!!! Glad you're safe. Not sure if he would even want it but heres a guy that would be a great meritorious sgt. Something for his current and or former gold stars to think about. Great Job TIMMY!!!!!!!
Tim, your neighbors are starting to complain!
All those extra copies of the Sun Times are blocking the street!
GOOD JOB TIM!
V & J (neighbors).
good job timmy, worked with ya back in 005. Miss them meals from the grocery basket.
WTG Tim, your a hero again!!! Your old shooting buddy from 005, TG
