OK, What the Hell Was This?
Two stories, both of which hint at the creeping decay of the Department.
Story #1:
Story #1:
- I would like to extend a big FUCK YOU to the midnight bosses in 007
Seems that they had a problem with all the PO's dropping slips for Friday and Saturday so they could attend the wake and funeral for their own guy Alex Valadez. You see alex was a midnight officer and a good one at that. Well good thing Cmdr Calloway got wind of it and got involved. Now all these grieving officers can pay their respects and not do so on two hours or less of rest.
It's shit like this that it's no wonder why you have twenty plus people from midnights alone bidding out
007 had 15 openings listed this past Friday. Can anyone verify this happened? Someone else recalled that when the Officer was hit by a train in 010, Maurer sent the watch home and TRU covered the rest of the shift that evening. Was this done for 007 and if not, why?
Story #2 is a bit more disturbing. Retired Sergeant John Northen (aka Northside) contacted the Captain in question and received straight denials that it took place. The trouble is, we've gotten lots of comments and more than a few e-mails that it did occur, including a few rebuttals of Northside's narrative of the Captain's denials.

- Look for openings in the 5th District real soon...
CPT Jones, the know nothing, political hack, who is tight with the rev-re-rums and is the only reason he got promoted on this job, is ruining what was once a hidden gem on the South side.
Now I know the area to work at is no gem, not by any stretch of the imagination, but the people and bosses you worked for there USED TO BE great. Watch parties, BBQ'S, family parties, you know the things that HELP IMPROVE MORALE when you work in a shithole of an area, [...]
CPT Jones, he of the "get the ticket and tapes from that FOOT pursuit," is in well over his head, unless you call chatting with the dollies police work. You really fucked it up today though. Tonight, you cock-sucker, you denied officers to go to a funeral, saying "If it was that important you would have gone on your own time". Fuck you! Of course you would not understand why it was important for all of the new kids on the watch to go and pay their respects, because you NEVER were a working cop. NEVER! Not once, look in the mirror, that pussy looking back at you does not lie, you were and ARE a do nothing. [...]
Well, that one will come back to bite you in the ass. Go ahead, look at everyones ticket books, their activity, and tell us we need more of this, that, and the other - DOES NOT MATTER. Nobody will do shit FOR YOU! You have officers bidding out to go to the 3rd District, that is akin to people leaving a Carnival cruise to take a ride on the Titanic.
Hell, you're such a dick, even your own boy, CMDR John E. B. is trying to unload your ass without you knowing. Oops, did I let that out in public? My bad, did not mean for that. Yep, your own guy who brought you in is now trying to take you out.
We hope it hasn't descended to this level, we really do. But there are too many non-policing, double and triple-"merit" promoted hacks who are only looking for their next bump and not the morale and well-being of the men and women who work for them.
We can't ever recall a story being told like this, even as a joke (and a bad joke it would have been, too.) We hope this isn't true, but if it is, this Department supervision is too far gone for redemption.

I wish I was at midnight (or any other one for that matter) roll call in 5.
Rest in the arms of the Lord AV.
God Save the CPD.......
Lucky to be retired in one piece........
We are truly at a new low for a Police Dept. Well, Mayor Daley, when are you going to step up and CLEAN UP THIS MESS YOU'VE CREATED?
Sounds like the 007th district commander is a stand up guy for getting involved.
The midnight guys/ladies in 007 should do Zero police work for their beloved captain. Or they can bid to 003 with the 005th district guys.
Fucked up.
Masters
Area Two was not sorry to see JJ go.
I thought being from IAD Cmdr Calloway would be a tool, but he's a good boss so far. Seems like he cares about the troops. If we could just work on the Capts we would be alright....
Some of these "bosses" especially the newer ones are missing the whole police culture & tradition and are doing stupid shit. since when are we not allowed to attend a police wake or funeral. they should set an example by ordering us to go, or at the very least strongly encouraging it. but instead there worried about covering their political ass. No one cares anymore . we are failing to pass down the traditions; and as a result the thin blue line is blurring. If this is true, SHAME ON YOU! grow a pair and have some respect for the working police.
I hope that if true, affected PO's will tell us here. This is an abomination. Painful for his CPD relatives and friends to hear. Give us the facts by a CPD ear/eye witness because right now I'd like to physically confront this jerk and factually, out him for what he is. I know him and am well aware that he was promoted beyond his abilities, but THIS!!!!!!
Don't think that 007 1st watch was sent home, but TRU sent all they had to 007 to do whatever was needed, paper jobs, disturbances, etc...This was done to ensure the 007th district officers working 003rd watch could attend the St Jude service.
I did hear that anyone who wanted time in 007 was told they could get it, not sure where it came from but that came from officers in 007.
As far as Jones, that story is 100% true and is completely disgusting.
What was that piece of shit J-Fed doing in uniform again??? Until he graduates from an Illinois police academy, he cannot wear OUR uniform!
Bye bye 5th district I'm out of here ,wish we had Commander Wedster back a true leader !!!!
I would have just went and worried about the CR later, and later would love to answer to it that CR and make Looser Jones look like a fool.
If These rumors are true, morale just sunk to a whole nother level. Which I thought was impossible considering how bad it is already.
Is this ethical?
On 7 May 09, Capt JJ, 005-3rd Watch, received 3 hours overtime for "mandatory ethics training". Check office automation/business crystal reports. Jeesh, the guy works 10 hour days, you'd think he'd be able to knock that out without costing the taxpayers 3 hours of captains pay. Does this mean we can all be trained on ot? Heck we got use of force and automated traffic reports & auxiliary qualification coming up. I'll be rich. I wonder which exempt signed this ot slip. Sounds like blatant theft to me, especially in a budget crisis. Terrible judgment jj.
P.S. He denied the officers at 1600 roll call the opportunity to attend the wake saying, if it was that important to you, you would have gone on your own time.
Seems that they had a problem with all the PO's dropping slips for Friday and Saturday so they could attend the wake and funeral for their own guy Alex Valadez.
----------
i am in a bid spot in a cush dist on the north side. However, I did my time. Til this day, my favorite fight I was in was at 59th and Carpenter. The g-Dam sgt had to taser that guy 3 fvcking times to subdue him!
I WOULD HAVE TAKEN UP YOUR CROSS AND WORKED 007 **HARD** FOR YOU GUYS!
ALL THE THE BRASS HAD TO DO WAS JUST ASK.
I wanted to make the funeral, but I would have jumped at the chance to ride A.V.'s beat.
007 SHOULD HAVE BEEN FLOODED WITH COPPERS! TAC, GANG, TRU, SO....MSF.
You should not have been able to swing a dead cat in 007 with out hitting a CPD!
EVERYONE on that watch should submit a par to bid out! Even if u don't want to leave or go. Let that bitch know that u don't take kindly to his bs. Downtown will notice trust me.
maybe staying in 003 ain't so bad. got some good bosses beside the queen.
JESUS CHRIST!!
That poor guys future wife and child work there! Is that boss soft?????
My wife is the popo too.
She had my son in her belly while she was jumping fences chasing a man with a gun. (Yes, she is the real deal.)
I could have been AV. Give ur troops a break!
My boy is a year old and he has more experience than some of these bosses! :-P
I remember Maurer calling the watch in to the roll call room in 010 when Benny Perez was killed. The look on everyones faces as we sat there in total silence and in comes Maurer. Gave us a quick speech, pulled up the chalk board and wrote his personal phone number on the board and said, "If you need anything....." Then told us something along the lines of "turn in your radios, go home to your families, we got it covered...." What a class act. It's a shame to see what has happened.......
that captain was not liked when he was the lieutenant of area 2 either. dix were happy he got promoted -- just to be rid of him. then find out he went right downstairs with his two butter bars. he had this strange idea that he could run area 2 like it was area 4 (nothing against area 4, but the south side is just different than the west side)
We can't ever recall a story being told like this, even as a joke (and a bad joke it would have been, too.) We hope this isn't true, but if it is, this Department supervision is too far gone for redemption.
************************************
I'm sorry SCC but it is true. Capt. Jones would not allow the 005th district 3rd watch to attend the wake. It was asked and he claimed it was too busy. Ended up being one of the more quieter nights in 005 in months. FUCK YOU CAPTAIN JONES!!!!! We just wanted to pay our respects
Yes this department has fallen into such depth of destruction all due to inept clout ridden exempt and lieutenants. They're everywhere.
Our unit had the same. At the last minute the exempt ordered the lt to have the unit work on something Friday night that went through noon on Saturday. It wasn't important or big enough of a crime to miss the wake and funeral. Without overtime.
Because they never did an ounce of police work in their life they didn't realize how long it takes to do what they wanted and wouldn't listen to reasoning.
We all felt terrible and want to give another big Fuck You to the two jagoffs who know who they are.
Yes it is true, Capt. Jones doesn't know what he is doing to the fighting 005th...he is turning it into the floundering 005th, where everybody lies down...even the newbies.
I wish I could say the comments regarding capt jones of the 005th were not factual, however, they are right on. He honestly said it was not possible to go to Officer V's wake because we were in a rap. Really? And?Ironically, it was the slowest friday I've experienced since I got on! When I took this job i was excited to join the CPD family but i never expected having someone like jones acting like my vicious step father.
capt jones didn't even mention the wake or funeral at any of my roll calls since PO Valadez was killed but he made sure to ask for curfews!
Someone else recalled that when the Officer was hit by a train in 010, Maurer sent the watch home and TRU covered the rest of the shift that evening. Was this done for 007 and if not, why?
...................TRUE TRU was their in 010 but also sister districts covered 008 009 007 011 012
There was a comment about how many 005th District coppers went to the wake and the answer is that not one street cop was there with the permission of Capt.James Jones (the previous A/2 LT). One house mouse car was DETAILED there as if they could pay respects for the entire watch. I guess that's how he could deny not letting anyone go to the wake. There's no way you can justify your actions on this one jones!
SCC -
You crack me up. Just when I am ready to give up on your blog you pull me back in (like the mafia not letting go of a Corleone)
Your comparison of the 2 districts described as one being a carnival cruise and the other being the Titanic made mespit my Kool-Aid across the room I laughed so hard.
Where and how do you come up with this stuff? How is one person always so witty?
Golly gee, I think I have a bit of a man-crush on you.
obviously well qualified to lead members of this department...
it's amazing people up top don't recognize or don't care what kinds of douchebag bosses we have around here.
why would anyone do anything except the very minimum to get by on this job anymore?
Heaven forbid tragedy strike in his own district, or to one of the (few) coppers that he's close to. He will then learn, all too late, the importance of camaraderie and compassion.
Get this a-hole into some sensitivity training stat!
To 6/07/2009 04:45:00 AM
It was actually from a comment sent to us. We didn't write that one, but thanks for the compliment.
Bye bye 5th district I'm out of here ,wish we had Commander Wedster back a true leader !!!!
Please, political hack and still is.
Is this the same Jones that was in 011??? Because if it is, I can see it coming from him.
This would be the same Jones who ruined the 011th District tact teams by being such a racist prick.
This is the same guy who would not talk to his troops when he ran in to them in the hallway. Blantly ignoring them even when the officers would greet him first.
Well Mr. Weis, you better look into this and do something about Jones. It is of very poor taste not to allow officers to attend a fellow officers wake.
he had this strange idea that he could run area 2 like it was area 4 (nothing against area 4, but the south side is just different than the west side)
**********
He didn't run Area 4. He was just a sergeant that spent about 3 years in Property and then three years in Violent. He never made any decisions or gave any direction. He would only approve reports when there was nobody else around and it had to be done. His crowning achievement was that he never signed anything..including an OT slip. I worked in A/2 in the 90's. Save me the south side warrior crap. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Hey SCC, how's an ordinary guy, run of the mill PO supposed to compete with you? You are just too smart & too funny. I never should have showed my girl your blog. All I hear about now is how hysterical SCC is and how smart SCC. I'm starting to get a comple, man. I'm surprised she hasn't screamed your name when we...you know...
NorthSide said...
I phoned Capt. James Jones at 005. He stated that he did NOT deny third watch officers the opportunity to attend the wake of our fallen hero, Alex Valadez.
In my experience, as long as a district/area is covered, officers are allowed to take turns briefly paying their respects, even if the slain officer's wake is on the other side of the city.
6/06/2009 09:06:00 PM
SCC and Northside:
SCC - I love the blog and all that (all of) you do, it is a great service, especially with something like this.
Northside - You're a riot on here so much and with such great insight and information too.
But, this DID happen. CPT Jones lied to you Northside, no big surprise there, but CMDR Ball needs to take a real close look into this. I am not sure about CMDR Ball trying to dump Jones, but I am CERTAIN he told us we could not go.
That is fact!
The thing about the Titanic was great too — spit out my juice.
Maurer might have done this, but not with TRU. When Perez died, it wasn't around yet. Perez passed in 2002. TRU was establish in 2003.
i worked in 010 on 3rd that night when benny perez was killed. And was not even up and running when that happened. NO one came in a covered us that night or the next couple of nights. And it sucked, ur head just wasnt in it.
You should not have been able to swing a dead cat in 007 with out hitting a CPD!
LMAO!!! True dat, true dat!!
Commander Calloway was my sgt.in 003 hes a stand up guy.
I thought being from IAD Cmdr Calloway would be a tool, but he's a good boss so far. Seems like he cares about the troops. If we could just work on the Capts we would be alright....
CALLOWAY IS ONLY TRYING MAKE UP FOR THE PO'S HE FUCKED OVER, DON'T BE FOOLED.
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!! I HOPE THE P.O.'S UNDER HIS COMMAND SEND A VERY STRONG MESSAGE TO THIS SORRY EXCUSE OF A BOSS SO HE NEVER FORGETS HIS FUCK UP.
IT'S SHIT LIKE THIS THAT MAKES OUR STAND UP ROLL CALLS EVERY DAY ON 2ND WATCH IN 016 A LITTLE EASIER TO TOLERATE.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is true, the midnights capt in 007 did deny slips for both friday night and Saturday. I attended my friends funeral with on no sleep b/c i know if it were me .. he would have done the same. your the 7th district's guardian angel AV watch over us buddy
Civilian Post--
This is the type of leadership/management that is obviously so bad that it is beyond belief. This Jones person is an idiot.
He is presented with a problem, he's got to keep things going, so what does he do, he breaks on the people who he needs to do his job the most.
He doesn't think of any obvious solution, like going to other areas to fill his command while his people do what they needed to do. He hasn't the ability to go to other command personel and ask them to fill in for himself while he makes sure his own peole are alright.
I'm not a cop, but its almost a given in any corporation that when there is a death in a department or workgroup, someone else fills in. This is a standard management procedure, and we are not even talking about violent deaths or organizations that rely so much on mutual comraderie to get their job done.
How can anyone in charge be so bad at it ?,,,from what I read here: political promotions in the guise of merit promotions is the reason.
Why the hell isn't this sort of thing written into sometype of procedure ?
When a police officer is murdered, or suffers great bodily harm, or at the discretion of command personel, that police officers shift, watch, or workgropup (sorry don't really know what it is called) shall attend any and all memorial services and rememberances for 72 hours. Command personel will ask for volunteers to work those shifts, absent this they will order personel to perform the police functions of those shifts.
Seems like this wouldn't even need to be written down anywhere.
same thing happened in 021. Cynthia white wouldnt allow any coppers to go to the funeral. So then 2nd watch coppers said well if we cnat go can we at least go to 007 and work there so those coppers can go? She said no again! fine shithead bosses on this dept
SCC, this is why the politicians and the community do not respect us. We continually dog each other. Regardless of what has happened the Captain has to still mann the watch. I also know they asked for slips early so the Area could borrow officers from other districts to cover. We got a slew of slips in at the last minute. It was a huge issue becuase none of our other officers in the other districts wanted to come over here and work, to give us a hand for one fucking night.
Additionally, if Captain JJ is such a bad boss, this it not hte place to vent it. Perception is always greater than reality. Whey would the community respectus when we don't even respect each other nor the decision our bosses have made. No one will agree 100 percent of the time, but come on!

We have to agree. He is a sorry excuse for a Superintendent and should be held accountable for fucking this department up. No matter how much he bullshits in the media, you will go down in the history of CPD and all Police Departments as the worst Superintendent in HISTORY!
Dugan you should be ashamed of yourself.
We know you’re running the Department on a day to day basis.
You were a great tact Sgt. in 018 and an even better tact Lt. in 001 but what the fuck happened to you!!
Did you forget how we get shit done on this job?
Did you forget all the good police work you did in the projects?
Did you forget what needed to be done when the G.D.’s where going to shot someone on your team?
Did you all of the sudden get a degree in Accounting?
Does this Title mean more to you than your self respect?
The Dugan I once new would have taken care of this Captain in a second. This piece of shit would be have been demoted to T.M.A. in about 2 minutes.
Danny boy it's time to step up and hit one for the home team and stop all these bullshit missions and let the POLICE be the POLICE…. Remember?
TRU didnt cover for 10 incident team did and only for a few others.
Cant blame the bosses in 007 after all, someone still has to man the watch.
The upper echelon bosses should have forseen this and brought in the incident team.
They need TRU on the street for ticktes and revenue.
Although TRU ans MSF were great this past week in assisting the 7th District, TRU was not a unit when Officer Perez died in 2002? It may have been SOS ia m not sure.
Let me put a slightly different spin on this, then you can all go ahead and flame me to death. I don't know the Captain, never heard of him in fact, but maybe he is right. If it is important to you then go on your own time, or if you don't want to do that, just go. Don't ask, go. Why put it on him to allow you to go. Take it on yourself, and if there are consequences, face them. I have been retired for a long time now and that is what we would have done in years past. Why middle someone else? Man up and quit being a pussy. That seems to be part of the problem with today's Chicago Police Officer. Most are afraid to do anything on their own, and are always looking to someone to tell them how, why, where, etc., or in other words, lead them by the hand.
Okay, let the flaming start!!

CAPT JONES JUST ANOTHER PUNK PROMOTED CLOUT SISSY!
I believe the RUMORS are beginning to be inertwined. tru jumped in and di a nic ejob in 7 this past weekend , riding on jobs and doing paper. To the best of my knowledge no ome was denied time Friday or Saturday in 007. We had officers volunteer from Area 1 and thier assistance was appreciated. If the Captain in 005 restricted who went to St Judes at 1900 I can understand it, however I find it hard to belkieve he could not have set a schedule so the watch could have went sometime during the night.

Again though Maurer was the alst of the "real bosses" which for you youngsters you will never see again on cpd! what we do we have? lots of wanna be police like masters the screwball kid! The others are so scared and run with the tail between their leggs, the last bosses we had were all Coines guys! Now what do we have here?

That's just the booze talking.
The Chicago Police Department has been crushed by the weight of meritorious promotions.
If JJ was 2nd watch w/c do you think he would tell the watch they couldn't go to the St. Judes
march?
Another punk that would be flipping burgers if he didn't have clout to get on this job.
They should have used all of those "Back to the Street" officers instead of letting them work five hour tours.
Sad, you have a guy like J-Pud that hasn't got a clue, too busy polishing Shorshanks shoes, but one day it'll change. I guess a lesson learned, a national lesson at that, you can't lead troops if you've never been one... period.
This Dept. SUCKS! ALL NEW MADE BOSSES SUCK AND ARE HEARTLESS!!! Please do not give us any of your bullshit or act like you care. You are ALL a bunch of fake ass puppets! GOD BLESS ALL THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN BLUE! GOD BLESS ALEX!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU BROTHER!! God bless Alex's family, girlfriend, baby & partner. WE ALL LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Jones could of easily gotten people to fill in, all he would have to do is ask. This guy needs to be put in another area of work. He sould be behind a desk at 35th St. where he would have no contact with P.O's. The P.O.'s moral is low enough. Let the blue star family leadership know of what occurred they will handle it with the brass.
NEXT PERIOD EVERYONE ON 3RD WATCH IN 005 SHOULD BID OUT!!!!!!
These bosses better get a clue. Why do they put these type of bosses in the districts they have a hard enough time holding on to officers????????
6/07/2009 12:50:00 AM
J-Fed is a certified peace officer in Illinois. There is a provision for trained personnel from other states or from federal academies to get certification from Illinois.
He went to the FBI Academy, which is no jog in the park. He got certified in Illinois and therefore he's sworn. As a sworn member he can wear the uniform.
Find something else to bitch about, this issue is a non-issue.
i bet the 5th district captain would deny making sgt lt and captain with clout
i believe the coppers from 5
I wish I could say the comments regarding capt jones of the 005th were not factual, however, they are right on. He honestly said it was not possible to go to Officer V's wake because we were in a rap. Really? And?Ironically, it was the slowest friday I've experienced since I got on! When I took this job i was excited to join the CPD family but i never expected having someone like jones acting like my vicious step father.
6/07/2009 03:54:00 AM
008 was in a rap that night with some b.s. jobs pending almost 7 or 8 hours.. every car was able to make it to the wake that night...so the rap story is a bunch of crap capt...
THIS DEPARTMENT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!
Don't ever fool yourself into believing it does.
The only ones you can ever count on is your fellow officers.

This Captain asked me for a chase ticket for a foot chase.I thought maybe he misunderstood the narrative in my arrest report. So I explained again that it was a foot chase with no vehicles involved and he just kept staring at me and the narative on the computer. He seemed to get frustrated and then just signed off. I still dont think he understood. He is difficult to deal with and attempts to act more intelligent than he obviously is.
this is the WEIS era..
Its true jones is a stroke. One night in 011 there was a shooting and he made to whole first watch stand in a line and walk in this empty field looking for a crime scene,on a bullshit shooting where dude was fine ,while he was standing there screaming at us.
I remember I shot a dog once in 011 and jones wanted me to call ops command,news affiars,and notify the A/4 violent crimes dets.
Today I had to run into the MASTER station and down the MASTER stairs and into the MASTER Lcoker room. I then Opened up my MASTER locker and Took off My MASTER gun belt and MASTER Vest. I then ran into the MASTER Toliet Stall and dropped one hell of a MASTER from My MASTER Butt. I honestly did not think the MASTER Toilet could handle the MASTER sized MASTER Turd I dropped. I of coursed wiped my MASTER off with Some MASTER Paper. Thankfully it all flushed with just two MASTER flushes. All we needed around here was another MASTER walking around the district. There is already a big MASTER walking around 35th street. And his name of ocurse is Deputy Superintendent MASTERS(of his own domain). Anyone know MASTERS call number?
And yes I counted that is 19 CR Numbers for me. All in just one day.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side, but your side doesn't even have grass! Get the hell out of there!
Nobody has addressed the fact that crazy capt jones said to go to the wake on your own time but how would that be possible when you work afternoons- would he have accepted a phone call explaining you were going to be late for roll call because you were patiently waiting in line at the wake of a fellow PO and you wanted to pay your respects? Doubt it-
Thanks to all the TRU guys and other outside units for helping out in 007 the past few days. Without you guys finding the car those POS's may not have been found so quickly.Thanks for covering us the day of the wake it was appreciated more than you guys know and thanks to your bosses for sending you to our district, that's how it should be.
007 district ranger
Another priceless quote from capt. jones- he asked at roll call- the day of the funeral- how many attended the service. When he heard that many 3rd watch, 005th district cops went to the funeral after working until 2,3 or 4am he said "good- you should go to several cops funerals to see the severity of the job" Huh? This guy hadn't even acknowledged to the watch that a PO was killed in the line of duty. The only thing he said is one day in passing he mentioned you need to use your cameras since it may have helped find the killers. What? That's how you are going to address that a cop was killed? Then he refused officers on duty to pay respects at the wake. This is not 3rd party info. I was there and heard it from his own mouth. I hope that was the last cops funeral I will attend in my career. Sadly, there will probably be more.
Michigan is not alone in turning to its prison system for savings. Some 25 states cut spending on corrections in fiscal 2009 and another 25 are proposing to do so in fiscal 2010, as they struggle to address massive budget shortfalls.
"It's a trend we'll be seeing more and more of in coming months given the dire revenue situation states are in," said Sujit CanagaRetna, senior fiscal analyst at the Council of State Governments, a research group.
" It's going to be a hot summer said CPD "
I was sadly disappointed in the display by our leadership at the funeral. I am not talking about the politicians, but the leadership that stood at the door to the church. I was sadden to see all the civilian bosses standing with the exempt. They have no idea of what it is to be the police but they pretend to know how "we" feel . I thought it was a disgrace to see them mixed in with uniformed police officers. It is bad enough that they make decisions that effect us now they want to be a part of the "show", all for face time.
Honor Guard you made us proud.
I was there when Gordon got killed. Mauer was on-scene. Cline was at the hospital. You can say what you want about either of them, but they were the police and took care of us. We have always had great bosses in 011 besides one Lt. and a few Sgts. Be safe.
Captain Jones, say it ain't so. If it is true then don't expect anyone showing up at your wake and funeral.
If true, shame on the officers in 005 who didn't go anyway. Again, let the Captain get a number or spar. That would be good paper.
If true, shame on the officers in 005 for not immediately calling FOP. Granted, they have no absolute right to go to the wake but calls could have been made.
If true, post this on the Scum Times and Tribune site under the comments section. Who cares if the story doesn't even have a connection? At least people will read it.
We are truly at a new low for a Police Dept. Well, Mayor Daley, when are you going to step up and CLEAN UP THIS MESS YOU'VE CREATED?

NEVER! Lookit here you piss ant little cop. I'm da mayor of dis town. I do wud I feel like. You tink I care about yuze stupid cops? I get a laugh outa hearing yuze all bitch. I ain't begun to mess wit yuze little pieces of crap yet. I steal more in one week dan yuze little pieces of shit make in five years. You like my boy Mike Masters over der? I sent him der to keep an eye on yuze. Yuze kin espect more of da same. Now quit yer bitchin and git back to work in da ghetto. If yuze don't like it, quit.
NOW officers, show your strength and EVERYONE submit a PAR form to bid out of the 007th.
This prick alleged "A.A."captain is a mutt. F-him all the way. Classless asshole.
I want to puke hearing this shit.
Downtown will NOTICE.
ot- but speaking of creeping decay......
When is the deadline for the exempts to pony up the 20 uppaid furlough days or get busted back?
Is there a sudden uptick of retirements?
You're Better Than This Said...
You're losing it, Northside.
First you went to bat for Lt. D.P.
Then you picked Mine That Bird to win.
Now you try to lend credence to that prick J.J. based off what that fuckin' jagoff told you.
Take a vacation from SCC, John. Clear your head. The majority of us look forward to reading your insightful and educated posts, but you're losing your edge.
Me thinks you're suffering from a malady much akin to what they say about the ghetto - "When the broads in the ghetto start to look good, it's time for a furlough or time to fill out a par form".
I personally look forward to you back at the top of your game; I just hope it's sooner rather than later.
Why can't they ask for outside help to work the watch so that the officers who worked with the fallen officer go pay respects? We have so many "specialized units" that go to these crime-ridden areas... they could have covered. Can't these bosses collectively use their brains???
NorthSide said...
I phoned Capt. James Jones at 005. He stated that he did NOT deny third watch officers the opportunity to attend the wake of our fallen hero, Alex Valadez.
In my experience, as long as a district/area is covered, officers are allowed to take turns briefly paying their respects, even if the slain officer's wake is on the other side of the city.
Northside: You have got to stop doubting and second guessing these patrol officers. First, you make excuses for the idiot inspector and then for JJ. That is just so WRONG!!!!!
008 was in a rap that night with some b.s. jobs pending almost 7 or 8 hours.. every car was able to make it to the wake that night...so the rap story is a bunch of crap capt...
--This is true. Thank you to the 008th district bosses. This is one of the reasons we respect you! You didn't forget where you came from.
Jim Maurer for Police Superintendent.
[...]You're the flamer!
You are missing the point.
Back in the day, as you eluded to, the w/c would have told everyone to make the wake, but don't all go at once.
The area D/C would have made sure there was manpower from other districts in the area sent to the KIA'a district to cover the watch, for the wake and funeral.
Sounds like you spent a lot of time riding the desk.
off-topic "Like so many Americans, I lost my job. I'm seeking to start a new career. Maybe I could be in another reality show. I want to help." You're not like ANY americans. You didn't lose your job, you sold it. Anyone want to help Hollywood with an idea for a reality show for hydro-head?
I swear if anyone would try to have a conference call with the pope, the president and the Dalai Lama, it would be Northside.
The Chicago Police Department has been crushed by the weight of meritorious promotions.
If only people knew the kind of leadership this department has, and how close they are to having a privatized police force that works for politicians only!!!

WE in 005 who REALLY worked with Capt Wedster are laughing our asses off tonight at Mr Punkass - that is what we are going to start calling you - who is still pissed about the bitchslap. Everyone in 005 & 022 knows who you are and knows why you bring up Wedsters name anytime you get a chance. You can talk about political hack all you want but we know that if cap wedster was still in 005 we would have been explaining why we WEREN'T at the wake/funeral...not why we wanted to go. By the way Mr Punkass....thanks we needed a laugh here tonight...it has been a bad week for the real police.

Read my relevant posts again. Don't even try to twist my words. I impartially reported to blog readers what Lt. Pasqua and Capt. Jones told me in telephone conversations.
While the inspector gave a plausible "documentation" explanation, I would NOT have even considered calling 9-1-1 on such a frivolous matter. Retaining a copy of a "To-From" account of the feud submitted to IAD or her ranking officer would have accomplished her objective and avoided the ensuing brouhaha.
I only reported that Capt. Jones denied the accusation.
At first blush, I was struck by the seemingly incredible stupidity of both incidents.
In all fairness, I believe that before "crucifying" someone on this site, we should hear any potential rebuttal from an identifiable source.
Now quit picking on me or I'll laugh out loud.

It's sad but seriously, what do expect, now, from this beyond-fucked-up department and the jagoffs that "they" have chosen to lead us.
R.I.P. Alex
J-Fed is a certified peace officer in Illinois. There is a provision for trained personnel from other states or from federal academies to get certification from Illinois.
He went to the FBI Academy, which is no jog in the park. He got certified in Illinois and therefore he's sworn. As a sworn member he can wear the uniform.

Sorry, but regarding below...
"Danny boy it's time to step up and hit one for the home team and stop all these bullshit missions and let the POLICE be the POLICE…. Remember?"
Dugan did put out a notice telling bosses not to do missions just for the sake of doing a mission, there needs to be a specific mission, such as when an officer is shot at, a homicide etc.... If your unit is still doing them just to do them, you are in the minority and need to let Patrol know.
O.T., three "command staff" put their papers in recently, Doty, McNulty and now Sobczyk? More to come very soon. Whats going on? Inquiring minds want to know.
The problem with the 3rd Watch in 5 is that for the most part you have nobody with more than 5 years on the job. So everyone does not know how to do anything outside of what they have been told, and to their defense, they never had problems until four/five periods ago.
So you now have a CPT who also does not know who to do anything outside of what he knows, and he does not know ANYTHING to begin with - the guy was never the police. So in an attempt to hide his ignorance he does off the wall shit like this stunt.
What was needed was the three older guys (Lock Up Keeper, Radio Room PO & Search Warrant Team PO) on the watch to help show the younger guys what to do, but all of them were off. So we had no one to lead the revolt, no one with balls, and sadly, no one at the funeral except the one dog that the CPT likes and sent.
I was so angry that I did something, I bid out, and when asked why I said "The WC" I am sure more are soon to follow suit.
007th dist. a good place to learn to be the police. we didnt come on the job to push paper or to hide in a slow district. 3rd watch captain is one of the best, never been denied time or baby furl even in summer. bid so my seniority can rise.
he had this strange idea that he could run area 2 like it was area 4 (nothing against area 4, but the south side is just different than the west side)
**********
He didn't run Area 4. He was just a sergeant that spent about 3 years in Property and then three years in Violent. He never made any decisions or gave any direction. He would only approve reports when there was nobody else around and it had to be done. His crowning achievement was that he never signed anything..including an OT slip. I worked in A/2 in the 90's. Save me the south side warrior crap. You have no idea what you're talking about.
--------------------------------------I didn't write the top comment!
What the hell are you talking about who said anything about south side warrior? Im in a city wide unit I've worked both south and west. South is different than west neither is harder or worse than the other. Anyone who thinks that 10, 11, 15, or 25 is tougher or more dangerous than 3,4,5,6,7,8,or 9 or vice versa is a fool and a horses ass. We just had an officer killed in the line and I for one am offended that you lashed out at another officer for no reason. This is not high school (people seem to act like it) this is life and death. The slightest little f... Up can cost you or another officer terminally. Band together lets do our jobs and take back the streets. We have had three killed in the line in a year. I for one am going to put Mother F.....'s in jail

NorthSide,
If you had included the above second paragraph in your original post, you would not have ever been questioned by other readers of SCC because you are respected, by not only me, but it seems by most other visitors to SCC, but read your original post again, looking at it from the other side, and you will see why people thought you were backing Lt. Inspector Pasqua. Hell, it reads like you were so happy and excited having talked to her that you were going to give the sprinkler drama queen a freaking parade. You gave no indication in your original post that you disagreed with her call to 911. And 'carry on debbie' was way over the top.

Now we will get more no nothing bosses I have 1 more year left thankfully. You new boys and girls hope you use the experience and move to a progressive law enforcement agaeny!
WOW, as a civilian reader of this Blog I am truly disheartened to hear about these two stories.
I am not sure which is more troubling, the story about Officer Alex's home district , but thankfully his Commander stepped in and made the correct executive decision, or the story about the people in District 5, were sadly it seems nobody stepped in to make the correct call.
I do not seem to have a firm grasp on what the city defines your merit picks on, but it seems to me, at least through reading comments lately that the merit picked leadership might be in over their heads. Shameful! This does not occur in the military and I cannot understand why it happens in law enforcement, a sort of semi-military type of unit/profession.
I wish you all well, and I hope the Officers all involved who did not get to come and pay their respect and share in your loss of a brother can somehow find comfort that many of us, civilians who did not have the pleasure of working along side with Officer Alex, did come out to help support his family, his partner, his fiance and unborn child and ALL of his brothers/sisters in blue, both present and absent.
I hope that your Chief looks into this deplorable leadership and does something about it. This type of leadership would result in people being fired in my line of work.
Please stay safe CPD.

A civilian supporter.
Additionally, if Captain JJ is such a bad boss, this it not hte place to vent it. Perception is always greater than reality. Whey would the community respectus when we don't even respect each other nor the decision our bosses have made. No one will agree 100 percent of the time, but come on!

Then were is the "proper place?" In his office behind closed doors? Please spare me the drama. You make it so obvious that you are one of the insiders who benefit from Jones and you will do ANYTHING to calm the waters so your "position" doesn't become in danger of going back to the scary streets.

Oh yeah, the Puerto Rican Fest. Remember you taxpayers-they pay NOTHING for this event.
The "community organizers" make hundreds of thousands off this mess and they pay nothing for City services. Nothing for garbage pick-up...nothing for the traffic aids...nothing for paramedics...nothing for electricity...nothing for sewage...nothing for cleanup...nothing for the parade permits...nothing for Police. But it does provide a valuable City service in that it keeps all the gangbangers in Humbolt Park for a week. Glad I don't live anywhere near there.
Ok this is what happened the night before the funeral, 1st watch regulars were at work we all were saying what are you guys doing here?? They said time due was denied. I think some phonecalls were made and anyone who wanted to leave was able to. The damn TRU unit was there locking up people for that one bag of weed and drinking on the public way, Hell far as I am concerned they could have answered all calls for service that night. This job is fucked up!! I think Deputy Patterson heard about this lets see what happens
The 2nd watch and 3rd watch in 007 had officers come from other districts to cover the watch but not 1st watch. That was bullshit!! These people worked with Alex every damn night they should not have been treated this way. Someone should go to their rollcall and apologize to them!!
Let me put a slightly different spin on this, then you can all go ahead and flame me to death. I don't know the Captain, never heard of him in fact, but maybe he is right. If it is important to you then go on your own time, or if you don't want to do that, just go. Don't ask, go. Why put it on him to allow you to go. Take it on yourself, and if there are consequences, face them. I have been retired for a long time now and that is what we would have done in years past. Why middle someone else? Man up and quit being a pussy. That seems to be part of the problem with today's Chicago Police Officer. Most are afraid to do anything on their own, and are always looking to someone to tell them how, why, where, etc., or in other words, lead them by the hand.
Okay, let the flaming start!!
RESPONSE:
I'm not going to blast you just know that the sergeants took care of it, as usual, so officers could go. The point is its a cops wake- killed in the line of duty if you forgot- capt jones didnt even acknowledge his murder or wake. It's not middling the capt to ask whats the rotation to go the wake. it's a no brainer; we always pay respects to other officers so yes we manned up and went but it doesnt excuse what an asshole jones is. And the district could lose a car or two an hour to go because it was an EXTREMELY slow night.
005th district is the armpit of the city but cops stayed because 3rd watch was so close with each other it was a good team. last night alone 6 par forms were submitted- and several for 003rd! I could write volumes on all of the shit jones has pulled but i was trying to keep this respectful to PO Valadez and keep it about the ultimate morale buster yet with the wake speech.
Additionally, if Captain JJ is such a bad boss, this it not hte place to vent it. Perception is always greater than reality. Whey would the community respectus when we don't even respect each other nor the decision our bosses have made. No one will agree 100 percent of the time, but come on!
6/07/2009 10:52:00 AM
where do you prefer this to be vented? this is the CPD blog dumbass-this is our venue to vent! or should i bring this to the capt and ask to discuss it? i'm sure he'd be open to it- oh, wait he doesn't speak to his officers, refuses to sign time due slips although it can be months in advance and he won't even pretend to look in the book to see if its available. he refuses to sign personal days even though they HAVE to be in 10 days prior, he doesn't sign court slips with record numbers on them even- how do you refuse to sign court slips? he bitched about being bothered having to approve arrest reports then the next week he bitched we were down in arrests-HUH? he is worse than CW - at least you knew what you got with CW- this guy is nuts. And the best...he got 3 hours OT for ethics training. that's theft when you have 10 hours everyday for several months to complete it and it takes about 7 minutes to finish.
many cops have stuck it out in 5 for years because of good bosses, good officers and a quick commute. Jones keeps getting worse even when you think it can't sink any lower it does and hes only been there a few months. The LT, SGTS and POs are all looking to make moves just to get away from Jones. I hope the top brass and Cmdr Ball know the only reason why people are trying to leave is because of him. God forbid I get in a shooting and he's the WC, theres no telling what he'd do. The only reason there is still activity at all is because of self pride in the officers and doing the job we ultimately love.
if the Captain in 005 restricted who went to St Judes at 1900 I can understand it, however I find it hard to belkieve he could not have set a schedule so the watch could have went sometime during the night.
6/07/2009 11:10:00 AM
that's what is so hard about this- nobody wants to believe it because it's so disgusting. it would be easier to believe this is being exaggerated but it's not. it's all true- some of our officers went to br. rice with valadez and wanted to be at st. jude- completely understandable and everyone else could go earlier or later (the night was so slow) but what jones said was true about nobody going on "his" time. problem is he wouldn't have approved CU anyway and when would you ever have thought you would be denied attending the wake? Luckily,the sgts covered us.

I will not argue with you, but you are incorrect about TRU and what our mission was the night of the wake, which would be the night before the funeral. I am sorry if people were denied time off in anyway, I was in 007 from time to time, 1st watch, and was impressed with the group of people on that watch, even though I couldn't pronounce half your names. So if you work 1st watch you should be able to figure out who I am, please call me and we'll talk, if anything just to share a good story about a great guy.
Please all i ask is be careful...

Commander Wedster has provided new leadership to the training division. The new personnel she brought in have been a great help to us. She has a great relationship with her staff. I am very impressed. No scandals at the academy.

Yeah,and everybody in 005 is glad she took that watch secretaty with her.
The bosses in 007 are great! The commander is an amazing guy who looks out for his officers. The 3rd watch captain is a great guy who also looks out for his officers. Of course you get those haters who have to talk crap about everything. I have been on 3rd watch for 4 years now and Kulbida has been my WC he is a stand up guy who has been a pleasure to work for. Most importantly we need to be there for each other and all attend the benefit for Alex Valadez. The benefit is for his unborn son who need the love from us. RIP ALEX!!
