Congratulations 011

  • You're less likely to get murdered, shot, stabbed, robbed or raped on Chicago streets so far this year.

    But the city's nearly 9 percent across-the-board crime decrease touted by police -- including a 3 percent dip in violent crime -- doesn't tell the whole story about crime in Chicago neighborhoods, a Chicago Sun-Times analysis of district-by-district crime data shows.

  • But so far this year, other trends are emerging:

    • • A collection of West Side neighborhoods in the Harrison District (11th) became Chicago's new top murder hot spot.

    • • Robbers and burglars were so busy in the Chicago Lawn District (8th) that there was an average of 186 burglaries and 106 robberies reported each month between January and June.

    • • The Shakespeare District (14th) -- home to parts of gentrifying Bucktown and Logan Square -- saw violent crime spike by nearly 30 percent. There were double-digit percentage increases in murders, robberies and assaults and batteries with weapons.

Luckily, 011 has a new commander to rival the Burger Queen. She's set to kick ass, take names, and don't forget to jump to attention like you have springs in your trousers when she walks in the room.

well, the reason burglars are out of patrol in 008 is because midnights and days(when most burglaries occour) are a skeleton crew and burglars are walking around without any harrasment. robbery offenders are getting away with out being caught because a robbery is no longer a priority if you are the dispatcher. there has been a rap in 008 since april and wont end until the middle of october so the robbery gets read out incase anyone is in the area but cant be assigned for about 20 min. sometimes they wait so long the victim goes home and reports it the next day.. so the robbery offenders are robbing people without any fear. afternoons has the most robberies in 008... first off, third watch in 008 is very busy, the beat cars are always very busy, but it doesnt matter because none of the beat guys on third watch are good policeman or aggressive. i have not heard a foot chase initiated by a marked patrolmen in months... and thats not an exageration..months.. not one foot chase by a patrolmen in 008 on third watch. what the hell are you guys doing??? obviously nothing except clearing up that backlog of jobs for the company. i say do police work, let the jobs sit so they can change this 911 system.

I give "Mizz Penelope" 6 months or less before she gets launched...

Sadly, it'll likely be via promotion due to the "decrease in crime" and "leadership qualities" that she'll have brought to 011. (not)

Side note: If that bitch thinks I'm going to stand at attention whenever she walks in the room/roll call (wherever), she's got another thing coming. "Paramilitary" organization or not, you'll get my respect when/if you EARN(ED) it; Penny Trahanas hasn't and never will.

What is she going to do if NO ONE stands upon her entrance? I say a concerted effort to protest this asinine request/demand is required. It'd also serve as a less-than-subtle way to voice our displeasure at Washington's demotion.

Whatdya say? Anyone of you big-talkers got the 'nads?

Kupczyk (sp?) better start allocating the appropriate amount of manpower for us tax paying, legitimate, City employees on the far west end of 008.

Be prepared to be called-in on the carpet, Mr. Commander. My tight-knit group of neighbors and those residents on the surrounding blocks have just about completed the formation of our petition demanding more and documenting the pathetic police presence on 811 and 812's beats. And when it's completed, not only will Zalewski get a copy delineating the bullshit, so will the media (for what that's worth). It's high-time the good people in the last of the decent neighborhoods get what they are entitled to in the form of City Services - particularly the police.

I suggest all the other good people in Mt. Greenwood, Hegewish, etcetera put forth some effort and get the ball rolling on similar projects. The non-tax paying, criminal savages in the ghettos have been getting just about everything they want but DON'T deserve.

Is it true that the new 011th District commander was riding around in the district over the weekend and kept asking for cars from 011 and the dispatcher wouldn't send them?

But wait for it...she was in ...015!

I guess she doesn't understand the "border concept".

Too bad, I was really hoping that another clueless/crazy/incompetent/meritoriously promoted way over her head F/1 wouldn't embarass me.

In 016 we still have a major residential burglary problem in the area of Grace & Osceola/Olcott/Oleander/Oriole.

These burglaries occur on the 2nd watch and the rumor in the neighborhood is they are being committed by a 15 year old Latin King who lives in Section 8 housing on Osceola and who hangs out at 3803 N. Olcott Avenue with a 15 year old Polish punk.

87th St on the south; 39th St on the north; Oakley on the east; Harlem on the west. That equals one HUGE district where property crimes and robberies will always seem out of proportion to smaller geograhical districts.

Another genius. Has anyone told her that the General Orders do not require people to jump to attention. I'd purposely remain seated just to get the goof to TRY to discipline me for it. That would be her undoing!

If this is true, Commander Clueless has already committed her William Cozzi offense against the men and women of the Chicago Police Dept. and the 011th District.

Reported crimes are down because the victim is no longer on scene when the police are finally available to be dispatched, and just like crime fell when the call back unit was first created, the crimes go unreported because when the victim does call 311 to make a report, they don't feel like waiting on hold only to be blown off again and told to go into the police station or go to the hospital and they will call for you.

Anonymous IT'S COMMON SENSE, REALLY said...

When a supervisor, of ANY rank, arrives at a new district or unit, the smartest thing to do is to take some time to sit back and observe, gather "intelligence", size up in your own mind what "problem areas" exist, do a basic evaluation of your resources (including personnel) and tap into their strengths, experience and expertise to form a coalition of teamwork to attack those problem areas TOGETHER. Remember TOGETHER WE CAN? The reason it never worked is because so many pig headed, glory hound Gold Star bosses were more interested in their own self-interests that they forgot to praise and include the troops in the successes.

Unfortunately, Punky Penny seems to be falling into the same trap as so many who have failed before her... Gold Braid muscles. It is a condition under which you have a FALSE sense of entitlement that makes you BELIEVE you will make people do your bidding because you are of a higher rank. Often, in days of yore, this was a suitable arrangement, if only because the troops respected higher ranks.

Unfortunately, confidence that our leaders have a clue as to what to do has waned to all-time lows with the elevating of such sorry assed excuses for leaders as we have today... starting from J-Fraud on down.

Before anyone is elevated to Command level, a simple advisory survey should be taken from all the subordinates at that persons last assignment... One question... secret ballot... only 2 answers.
Question: Capt/Lt_____________ is being considered for a Command position in the Chicago Police Dept. As a Dept. member who has worked for the above Capt/Lt, do you have the respect and confidence in him/her to recommend them for promotion to a higher rank, including in this current unit of assignment?

Answer: YES ------- No

--Get F*ed. Plenty of good policemen on that watch. And you're right, they are answering a never ending backlog. As you said yourself; robberies sit in backlog. People with guns; burglaries; domestics; batteries all sit in backlog. Getting to those people are a priority. That is police work you idiot. Please tell me what foot chases prove? That you're aggressive? NOT! Proves you're an idiot out chasing someone for something that probably will end up a big 19P. Proves nothing. The officers are out there doing their jobs with the limited resources they have supercop! The beat cars on the west end of 008 now have to stay on their beats because it took over 2 hours to be assigned to a battery victim and about 300+ people bitched about the lack of service they get. Doesn't mean they are working for the "company" as you say, they are doing their job. Something you know nothing about with your little time on the job.

--WTF do you want him to allocate? He doesn't have the people. Districts that are 1/3 of the size of 008 have more people on third watch than 008th district 3rd watch. Send your bullshit to the MAYOR he is the one that is not hiring. He is the one that approved pulling people out the districts and putting them in MSF & TRU. Ask the Mayor where the realignment of the districts and beats are. Some of the beats in 008 are huge. Barking up the wrong tree buddy.

I agree that the west end of 008 deserves more attention, but blame the right people for the lack of it.

Yet another robbery up North. At least the victim was able to temporarily hold them at bay with his bike chain - temporarily. BUT PER THE USUAL LIBERAL NEWS...NO MENTION OF THE RACE OF THE OFFENDERS on Ch. 9, 0800 hrs. newscast.

EVEN BETTER!!! Three shot in Chinatown!!!! Could it be that we collectively "willed" the perpetration of such an incident merely by talking about other races getting into the crime game??? Did some Chinaman snap, bust out the gat and let some lead fly??

No, probably not. My (educated) guess will probably be validated in short order when it's ultimately disclosed that the USUAL SUSPECTS were indeed responsible for this latest episode.

His rotweiller could probably generate more activity at Homan/Walnut than that nut job could do in a thousand years.

If crime rate had anything to do with dumping commanders, Kup Kake would be dumped too. When will you wake up and realize this is a political game? All of the commanders pay to play, at the expense of 811 &812, sorry. Sorry to say but most including Kup Kake will just get more icing on the cake.

well, the reason burglars are out of patrol in 008 is because midnights and days(when most burglaries occour) are a skeleton crew and burglars are walking around without any harrasment. robbery offenders are getting away with out being caught because a robbery is no longer a priority if you are the dispatcher. there has been a rap in 008 since april and wont end until the middle of october so the robbery gets read out incase anyone is in the area but cant be assigned for about 20 min. sometimes they wait so long the victim goes home and reports it the next day.. so the robbery offenders are robbing people without any fear. afternoons has the most robberies in 008... first off, third watch in 008 is very busy, the beat cars are always very busy, but it doesnt matter because none of the beat guys on third watch are good policeman or aggressive. i have not heard a foot chase initiated by a marked patrolmen in months... and thats not an exageration..months.. not one foot chase by a patrolmen in 008 on third watch. what the hell are you guys doing??? obviously nothing except clearing up that backlog of jobs for the company. i say do police work, let the jobs sit so they can change this 911 system.

What planet are you from? Seriously?
Let the jobs sit there and do police work? And then we get gigged for not going to our jobs? If you're such a go getter, why don't you come over here and get on a beat car and blow off all your jobs while you hunt around all day and get into "foot chases."

I just had a cordial phone conversation with Eric Washington's replacement as the commander of my old alma mater, FILLMO'. Cmdr. Penelope Jones Trahanas categorically denied the anonymous rumors that she directed all subordinates to stand at attention when she enters the room.

I told her that of any assignment which I ever held in the CPD, I could not be prouder that working the streets of 011. Fillmo' has a long history and tradition of some the best damn street-wise coppers in the nation. On a ten-1 back then, even the 82nd Airborne could not have provided a better and swifter response when mutts wanted to rock 'n' roll with da REAL muthafuckin' PO-leese.

I added that she certainly has perhaps the most demanding assignment in the CPD and the critical importance of a mutual respect.

She agreed and I wished her well.

No one could ever fill the shoes of my commander in 011 during the most volatile times in the history of the CPD. I speak of the best boss I've ever had, the late and legendary George Sims. God bless you, "Junior"!

There is no rule, no general order, no memo, no PAX 501 that requires a patrol officer to stand at attention and/or salute a superior.

Her request is outside the guidelines of the CPD. Dare her to try and punish you for not standing.

If you're white, its an automatic EEOC complaint if she even orders you to stand and easy, easy lawsuit against the city.

Make Midway and O'Hare two separate police districts. This would allow them to include neighborhoods to patrol within a reasonable distance from the Airports property and that will allow a better more controlled policing in the areas surrounding.

It will allow, particularly 008 to split and be better suited to control the east end, while the new Midway district patrols west. Prisoners from both could go to the Area close by or closest district for processing.

Just an idea...

Otherwise she has made a great impression by not introducing herself to the watches and explaining/dispelling any rumors about herself. Nothing like starting out on the wrong foot.

parts of gentrifying Bucktown and Logan Square -- saw violent crime spike by nearly 30 percent. There were double-digit percentage increases in murders, robberies and assaults and batteries with weapons.

Logan Square, Bucktown, Lincoln Park, etc... may be gentrified, but they are very close (within 20 minutes by car) in distance from the savages and criminals.

It seems now with the Lincoln Park strong robberies that even the decent areas of the city are not safe. How long before all the savage criminals decide to go outside of their boundary and figure out that the police are short on manpower and thus they can rob, beat, burglarize, and even kill with a very good chance of getting away with it.

Couldn't agree with you more.I live on the west end of 008. I had 2 male Hispanic teens trying to break into my garage and house 2 months ago(1:30 P.M.)with the offenders still on the scene.Broke the lock off the garage and smashed my glass patio doors. Neighbor witnesses it. I get the call at work. So I call 911 and report a burglary in progress to a P.O.s house. I ask permission to leave, drive home from 007 and wait and wait. You guessed it 45 minutes to even dispatch the job then wait for the 1 beat car to slowly arrive. Yes I live right under one of the useless blue light piece of shit box cameras which werent even checked. I found out who the offenders were. Well after all was said and done the "Criminal Damage" report was not investigated. But thank you to K.C(sp.) 812 days for keeping an eye on my house for the next few days or so.

We've all heard the Mayor (and WEIsel) talk about sacrifices that 'have to be made.' Well, apparently, these 'sacrifices' have to be made by the masses, but NOT by the CHOSEN.
It was made known today that a certain Sgt.

You heard it right. We can't afford to hire cops, but we can pay people out of grade who don't do much of anything, except carry Jody's kettlebell weights.
I don't know about you, SCC, but the Mayor can 'come to the table' without me!

Good luck. These radios are not easily available to the public for obvious reasons. The crystals to transmit and receive are the key, they use different channels and must do some type of multi frequency relay that is controlled by the base station. I don't understand it all but it is more complex than going to Radio Shack and asking for a radio. You can buy a scanner to listen but getting a two way communication going is much harder.

Then the transmit part must send an identifier that identifies the radio number, that identifier must be unique to CPD so you will no doubt find it very difficult to buy such a radio and use it on the CPD system.

If you care to, call Motorola and try to buy one. Let us know how it works.

I love all you hero's out there. 8th district doesn’t do this, 8th district doesn't do that. U don't have a clue on what you are talking about. I’m sure if you were in 8, the 3 page backlog would just disappear , crime in the largest district would go away…..LISTEN ASS HAT, we work from the time we get there from the time we leave, job after job. Everyone in this district has 911 on speed-dial. And everyone wants the police right now. Even if you are up and available, You could, without exaggeration be 10 minutes from a hot job because the district is so BIG. So why don’t u hero types bid into 008 and so the rest of us do-nothings how to clear up a huge backlog when we are undermanned for a district that is probably three times the size of yours. Oh, and one other thing, all of the above is not Com K’s fault. In fact he has been going on the air and telling the dispatcher that 811 and 812 are not to get jobs off their beats. So all you hero’s get the facts straight before you start pointing fingers.

OT But Extremely Important

Many thought we just received a huge concession by the City because they have agreed to health care benefits for those who retire at 55 years of age or older.

Surely our union(s) and attorneys MUST be aware of the wording in President Obama's H.R. 3200 America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009.

I direct your attention to Page 65, Section 164 titled Reinsurance Program for Retirees, Section D:

(D) The term ‘‘retiree’’ means, with respect to a participating employment-benefit plan, an individual who (i) is 55 years of age or older; (ii) is not eligible for coverage under title XVIII of the Social Security Act; and (iii) is not an active employee of an
employer maintaining the plan or of any employer that makes or has made substantial contributions to fund such plan.

You can read the "highlights" of this Bill here:

http://endgamenow.com/tag/health-choices-commissioner-will-choose-your-healthcare-benefits-for-you/

or you can read the Bill in it's entirety here:

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h3200ih.pdf

There are truly more astounding aspects/highlights of this Bill that are mind numbing. It is worth your time to review.

The outlandish size has always been aproblem for every commander of 008. John Kupczyk is a policemans policeman. He is stand up has balls and forgot more about police work then most of the people who work in 008.

Can you ask our fellow brothers and sisters in blue to remember Cozzi Thursday and as a sign of unity we can all take our time doing our job those 8 hours.

We should not look for tickets to write but give everyone we pull over a warning and send them on their way.

If we see a parking violation, well, we can warn them and again send them on their way.

Somebody drinking on the publicway or someone breaking any other Mcc charge can be given a warning and thrown back into pool that is Chicago.

We can all wake up Friday and check the stats and see just how much power one man/woman has on this job and hopefully Daley will see it also.

Remember that we are all family so look out for each other everyday on duty and off. Show respect for our families and always go home safe.

Couldn't agree with you more.I live on the west end of 008. I had 2 male Hispanic teens trying to break into my garage and house 2 months ago(1:30 P.M.)with the offenders still on the scene.Broke the lock off the garage and smashed my glass patio doors. Neighbor witnesses it. I get the call at work. So I call 911 and report a burglary in progress to a P.O.s house. I ask permission to leave, drive home from 007 and wait and wait. You guessed it 45 minutes to even dispatch the job then wait for the 1 beat car to slowly arrive. Yes I live right under one of the useless blue light piece of shit box cameras which werent even checked. I found out who the offenders were. Well after all was said and done the "Criminal Damage" report was not investigated. But thank you to K.C(sp.) 812 days for keeping an eye on my house for the next few days or so.

waaahhhhhh!!1 my little garage got broken into. guess what pal, if there were 40 squads assigned to 811 and 812 everyday your garage would have been broken into. the neighborhood is finished. do you really think in your mind that its actually going to get better? do you really think that all of a sudden the trash that has already moved in is going to just pack up and leave.. no, the neighborhood is going to get worse. its like st denis, tommy more, st bede.. lots of coppers lived there then it progressivly got worse until its what you have today. face it, i know its tought to accept, but garfield ridge and clearing are finished. coppers are not buying there anymore. over the years when everyone retires and moves away the trash is going to continue to move in. all the police officers in the world cant solve your problem no. its not going to get better, just worse.. always has been that way and always will.. rip garcia ridge

Yes, it is true, and it is indeed a DISGRACE. The Mayor and the Supt. talk about how we all 'have to make sacrifices, come to the table' for the budget; Exempts even have to give back 15 working days of pay, and yet someone has decided that Ray Ray deserves a raise...what a bunch of bullshit.
Well, the Exempts may have to give back, but I hope every union fights this city tooth and nail and gives back NOTHING to the City Hall Leech Shortshanks!

Military Bearing?? Not with that "Penny Hill" salute.

A good officer (in the REAL Military) sets an example for their men (and women).

Just like they have the War College for senior officers in the military maybe Chicago should have a Police College. You SURE NEED IT for these goofs.

And you have real military officers that served in IRAQ who are not part of the command structure? PATHETIC.

Unless the 008th Dist steps it up on the west end 811/812, both those beats are going to start looking a lot like the east end of 008.
All the coppers and firemen will be moving elsewhere.

Move where? You are stuck, locked in the south side with no hope. 008 is so short handed but the attention is focused on west and south side. A few more years and kiss the west end of 008 goodbye. So sad.

For the good neighborhoods that lack police service.

As they are doing on 811 & 812's beat get the people to sign a petition that they want their beat cars on their beats.. SOMEONE needs to do the footwork. Pay a teenager a few bucks to go door to door and get a petition signed if you don't have time. Send it to the Mayor, Super, Aldermen/women and media.

That is the ONLY way you will get service.

Kup has been OUTSTANDING in 008, he has the respect of the entire Dist. We work our ass's off in 008, on EVERY watch. 3rd watch can barely has time to take a personal 4 days a week. Anyone who works there, has worked there, or anyone in 007 who shares a zone with us, knows how many calls we get in 008. We are very low on Manpower and thats not Kups fault. He keeps the moral up, He's a Cop's Cop, open door, will help anyone out at anytime.
I live in 022 so I know how you guys on 811 and 812 feel, I want the same for 2211 and 2212. We are trying, 11 and 12 are to remain in your area (unless 10-1 is called) and now you have 859 to help them as well. We are very short handed in 008 to handle the massive area that we have to deal with day in and day out, so we are making the best out of the situation. Be Safe

No one cares about your petition. Severe shortage of officers on the street in 008. Politicans, the mayor and the department is aware of the lack of manpower. The petition is a waste of time. Now if you were a reverend?

8/04/2009 07:03:00 AM

It's a waste of time unless you were a reverend? That's the problem. ONLY the reverends get any play. Decent people keep quiet because they ASSUME that shit will get taken care of. Well, that's no longer true and the public is starting to figure that out so why wouldn't the same tactics that work for the Jackson's and the other fake reverends work for decent people? I think the petition is a great idea because the more noise you make the more attention you get. That's a fact. It's just that the city depends on decent people keeping quiet. They have their hands full with all the loudmouth welfare sucking Link card using assholes demanding every government hand-out available while hoarding all the police manpower available with their criminal behavior and baby mama drama's. If EVERYONE starting bitching they'd have a real problem now wouldn't they? They might actually have to go back to taking care of the people that pay taxes and produce the revenue the keeps everything and everybody rolling.
Wake up you nitwit. Your stupid, weak, negative mindset is an asset to the Daley empire. As a matter of fact, they DEPEND on people like you to keep the heat off of them. Grow some balls.

I live within the boundaries of 811 and have also seen our beat cars at twice a day, not only patrolling the streets - but the alleys! And they are like us "old school coppers" who patrol 3rd watch and 1st watch - lights out! Good job guys!!! The few times I or a neighbor call for service they respond quickly and have always been more than courteous to anyone who is outside. Stop beating our Police to the ground. We are all in this game together - it's time we stick together on our own homefront. Stay safe and remember ... we go home at the end of the day - the bad guys don't!

It's working together as a team and backing up each other that counts. Outdoor roll calls & stand up rolls call are bullshit.

waaahhhhhh!!1 my little garage got broken into. guess what pal, if there were 40 squads assigned to 811 and 812 everyday your garage would have been broken into. the neighborhood is finished. do you really think in your mind that its actually going to get better.

No asshat it wasnt just my garage, it was my fucking house too. I know the neighborhood is getting bad. Ive lived here 40 years. and I wasnt putting down the beat cars. If you read I was saying maybe a few extra cars would be nice(no fault of the working cops or even your commander was talking about hiring more police I understand there are backlogs and was saying it took the dispatcher 45 minutes even to put out a burglary in progress to a P.O.s house. Maybe if it was at least put on the air a car might be nearby they could maybe ride by since the car that got the job took almost an hour to get there and told me he was sitting a Kennedy H.s. which is 5 blocks away. If you read, I do appreciate seeing a beat car and if you further read I thanked the 2nd Watch beat car 812 for keeping an eye on my house. Furthermore I am just a cop like you with no contract or raise so I cant just pick up and move.

Make Midway and O'Hare two separate police districts. This would allow them to include neighborhoods to patrol within a reasonable distance from the Airports property and that will allow a better more controlled policing in the areas surrounding.

It will allow, particularly 008 to split and be better suited to control the east end, while the new Midway district patrols west. Prisoners from both could go to the Area close by or closest district for processing.

Just an idea...

Would've of been a semi-good idea but maybe you should know the Department of Aviation pays the city for the CPD to be part of the airport law enforcement. Didn't you ever wonder why they're never included at details and work with top of line equipment?

How does she know. Was she there and watched a 99 unit while she stayed in her car? If she did you can get a CR# for Cowardice on her. She, just like every other boss is a Police Officer first and she is required to assist and take Police action.

Does not apply to the Civilian Pu$$eys like Masters or O'Keefe. they have no Police Powers or Experience.

I will miss Washington, but I have experienced no problems in working this week with 'Queen Penny.' Some of you need to lighten up on her, and let her do her thing.
What with Weis's track record with the black exempts, she may not be here long regardless of what she does, but she's here, so I think it's only fair for all of us here in Fillmore to work with her with an open mind.

Wait til the commander in 008 and the media outlets gets ahold of all the video (almost 2 hours worth) that our neighborhood watch groups have compiled here on the west end of 008. Unfortunately, 90% of it is 008 district beat cars being where they AREN'T supposed to be, napping in vehicles, hour-plus at Portillos, etc, etc, all while the tax-paying citizens get screwed. Since your GPS doesn't seem to do a damn thing to keep you guys honest, the video, supplemented with real-time scanner transmissions and PCAD print outs courtesy of a fed-up comrade of yours will hopefully light the fire under someone's ass to get us the service we deserve and pay for.

KMA from 811/812 says......

Bring it on you ball-less turd, bring it on! You keep on blaming the demise of the west end as the police fault, but the truth is you and your neighbors are responsible. You allow these "gang-bangers" and pieces of shit to move right into the house of your neighbors and friends then you tuck tail and run because the neighborhood is turning bad. Mom and dad pass away and the greedy kids sell to whomever........and people renting to the first swinging dick that pays them any$$ for a rent including section8!!!! Yeah.....its all 811's and 812's fault. Save your fucking tears for someone else. You dont like it if I've taken a longer lunch sometimes, TOO BAD! Pissed off that I stopped to the side for a breather in the city's busiest district bar none.....TOUGH SHIT! Here's a thought, start filming the trouble houses, the gangs and the shit-heads driving thru the neighbor selling their dope to your and my neighbors from the courts. Or how about controlling your drunk fucking kids who roam around like a pack of wild animals. Do us a favor and do something constructive and productive for once in your life and really make use of that "free time" you have instead of being an asshole. Yeah, I work a beat car in your area and I work hard to make OUR area a better place cause I live here too. Alot of guys working the west-end bust their asses off! and i and they take it as a personal insult to the otherwise. Comm Kup is doing the best he can so I wish people would lay off the guy already. He is by far the best 008 has seen in awhile. You really wanna blame someone, blame your elected officals for letting it go down hill. I've given my phone# to more than 100 people out there to call for ANYTHING and you how many calls ive received from citizens??? ZERO! I get more calls from fellow officers giving me info. Do us all a favor and enjoy your retirement in florida or arizona ok because like I said earlier, you are part of the problem.
