How's Our Policing?
(Long post - strap in and hold on...)
Dear J-Fed
We know you read this. Or have people who read this and tell you about it. No need to be ashamed about it. All the gold stars do it. All of your "policy group" does it. It's a fact.
It's also a fact that we don't like you much. You've failed on so many levels to connect or earn the respect of the men and women of the Chicago Police Department that it isn't even funny. The damage you've caused will take years, maybe decades to undo. Granted, the previous superintendents undermined the foundation before you even got here, but you pushed it over the edge like a petulant two-year-old pushes over a pile of blocks.
You've ignored much of our advice and the advice of others, some of whom held out genuine hope that you might be an instrument of change. We never held that hope - we know from where you were spawned.
But this is about the stupidest idea we've ever seen, and we've seen some stupid ones. This even tops Department Notice 09-35 "How's My Driving." Greg Bella sums it up in the most recent FOP Newsletter:

- Here is the newest program to be advanced, the “Customer Satisfaction Survey Pilot” Program, which will be conducted by a third party. This program will be piloted in the following Districts: 2, 6, 10, 12, 19 and 23. Upon completion of a job the officer will give the person a card that reads:
“You have just had contact with a Chicago Police Officer(s). We encourage you to report your satisfaction or dissatisfaction with how you were treated by calling, 1-888-648-3988 or by going to the following web address: http://survey.crj.uic.edu/Web
Police services can be improved if residents report what they like and dislike about their experiences with the police. Thank you for taking a few minutes to provide honest feedback. This is an independent and confidential evaluation of police services conducted by university researchers. Your identity will not be known to the Chicago Police Department.”
Letters are going to be sent out to residents explaining the program and how it works. Jody proposes that, “if you report a crime, have a traffic accident, or are stopped by the Chicago Police in this District, our officers are instructed to give you a business card that explains how to complete a short customer satisfaction survey. You have a choice of calling a 1-800 number or going to a website. Officers are very busy, so if they forget to give you the card, please ask for it.”
The only good news with this program is that you will not have to provide a card in the case of murder, criminal sexual assaults, domestic violence or any incident involving serious injury or death.
Bella attempts to take a jab at the entire program, but of course, he has to maintain a certain level of decorum. He is the Vice President of the FOP after all.
We however have no such compunction:
We however have no such compunction:
- Who the fuck are you listening to? The so-called "policy group?" After 20 months, have you no fucking idea what kind of job this is? What we deal with? You are listening to 3, 4, 5 year idiots who never served a day in a busy district, never fought in a dark alley, never ever ran toward the sound of gunfire.
Of course, you've never done any of that either, so we really aren't surprised. You've been a pencil pusher and a house mouse your entire career. You've even done the dirty work behind the scenes trying to get Agent Robert Wright fired because he didn't toe the company line.
You had no loyalty to the members of the organization that was tasked to protect the American people from terror on our home soil. You were a company man, through and through. You still are. You have no loyalty to the men and women of the Chicago Police Department. You have no concept of what it is to wear our uniform. You've proven that time and time again. We won't even disgrace the word "mercenary" attempting to describe what you do. Everyone knows what we call someone who accepts money for services rendered, and it isn't "politician," although it's close.
Sixteen more months of your horseshit, then hopefully, someone deserving steps into the breach and begins repairing the damage. We aren't holding our breath, but we'll be damn glad to see the back of you and the assholes you seem to be taking advice from.

This department has hit a new low!
NO MONEY TO PAY THE POLICE, BUT PLENTY OF MONEY TO CRITICIZE THE POLICE. HOW NICE.
THANKS ALOT ASSHAT !
In an effort to save face and not look totally STUPID, the bubble headed Fed has decided to recycle the "HOW'S MY DRIVING?" bumper stickers into "HOW'S MY POLICING" cards.
"Dear Citizen, It has been a pleasure serving you. Hope you enjoyed having your ass locked up by the Chicago Police Dept. Yours truly, Officer Wienie"
Hey Jody , Lick my ASS
Can I get an event number for handing out one of these things?
hes a WHORE
Will all the tactical warriors and MSF TRU mavericks have to hand these out too?
REMEMBER COZZI!
That's funny, I just got an email today from citicards telling me to rate my customer satisfaction of the call I placed to them on October 5th. I'm not even lying.
Are we fucking customer service representatives now?
3 hundred and 10 thousand fucking dollars??????????????????????
To tell you the fact, all I can do is hang in there for another 16 months and hopefully everything will be fine again. I can't believe that 70% of the exempt are Morons. What do you expect. Respect for this guy, no way in hell would he earn my respect. I hope he just drop dead and everything will be fine again. 16 more months to endure. I can live with that. What a Fucking Moron!!!!!! Sorry for the language, I can't stand it anymore.
They just keep giving us more reason to not be pro-active.
No traffic stop = no card given
Less pro-active = no trouble
your right about this policy crap. A guy that worked midnights is on this policy board. JB from 008 midnights is on this and hes only got 5 years on the job. Now, i was on midnights with him for about 3 years or so and he's got a few screws loose. First off, he came from 012 midnights(nothing happens in 012 on mid's in case you didnt know) then he worked in 008 on midnights(nothing happens in 008 on midnights... even though the midnight guys all think they are the best coppers in the world and have to drive 90mph to a noise disturbance or domestic...but I digress). Hes not even origionally from chicago and has no clue about the city. Now I only personally worked in the same car with him 1 or two times but he is not the kind of guy who should be writing any type of policy.. even though he thinks he should be. how the hell do you have this guy, or anyone for that fact with 5 years on the job doing this crap at 35th street. they belong in a beat car on the street. JB may have been a fairly hard worker.. but his ego was huge so I can see how he would fit in with jody and his co horts.. also, JB is a huge weight lifter and workout freak so its a match made in heaven. This department is doomed. you need former gang specialist, not gang intel or geu.. but real gang guys, gang specialists /153(the real 153)/flying squad(for those of you who can remember that!)/and good ole beat cops.. minimum 15 years on a beat car. Too many computer savy "kids" these days pretending to know what the hell police work is... a bag a day is not police work.. its numbers crap. you want policy, bring back 80/20s, crown caps, leather jackets and a mustache and go after the real criminals. forget this pisser and drinker crap... thats not police work. answering all your jobs, writing your paper, gettin your lunch, two personals and a part one arrest with 1 mover and 5 parkers is what use to be expected. now look at us. big college egos, bad sense of humor, takin the job way, way to serious, a half a blunt arrest, pants with pockets all over them, baseball hats with frosted tips and gel hanging out the side, and these new and awful looking vests that say police on the back with a name tag and star number sewed into it. what a shame.... I love this job but cant wait to retire. The job and the lifestyle has gone into the crapper with the "new" point of view. Im sorry about the lenght, but this is personally pointed towards jody and co. you want policy, ask the police. even if we are old and just work the beat now and seem like "dogs" we were full of piss and vinegar one day and were the working police and did it the way it was supposed to be done.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT?!!! THIS DEPARTMENT RESEMBLES NOTHING CLOSE TO THE HONORABLE DEPARTMENT IT USED TO. WHAT A FUCKING JOKE WE HAVE BECOME. THANKS j-fed. IT'S ALL ON YOU! Really you claim to care about morale and then you pull horseshit moves like this. It's quite obvious you either couldn't give 2 shits about this department in any way whatsoever, or your brain cell is very, very lonely!!
I say everybody get as many people as you can to get on the website and say "My experience with Officer "Smith" was positive but my general impression is that the Superintendent is A BIG FUCKING MORON WHO SUCKS YAK TESTICLES"
Lets not forget who's fault this is? This is 100% the SHORTFUCKS handpicked 310,000 doormat we have as the ranking member of this Banjo show.......
Buh bye, muthafucker!
They got a job waiting for you as a bagboy at the Weis Market. Take your choice: Gettysburg or Malvern, PA; Ellicott City or Boyds, MD or Budd Lake, NJ.
Great Idea!!!!!!As a matter of fact, this is going to get me to start locking people up and writing tickets. Every jackass I arrest or give a ticket to, I'll make sure they will get one of these cards. Every person I mutherfuck will get one too. I don't give a rats ASS, let them come after me. They are just wasting there time, just to give some house mouse a job behind a desk.
This clown jfed came on saying he was going to get more coppers out from behind the desks and on the streets. All he seems to keep doing is trying create more desk jobs. Just like the feds do....sit behind a desk, talk on the phone and play with the computer all day long. It sounds like every goof at 35th is giving him ideas so they can secure a spot there. God help up....or someone.
Hey Jody, you fucked up again! By the way;What kind of parent names their son Jody???????
Not only is the good ship CPD sinking fast but it is sinking in a very deep part of the ocean, so to speak.
This is going to get good, better than The Comedy Channel. As if the public isn't laughing enough at the police here already. A customer satisfaction survey, oh that's good. That should bring about some real good belly laughs. I can hear the guffaws already.
And this lunacy is approved by who? Peterson? Dugan? Holy leaping batshit. This is the stuff bad jokes are made of. Does anyone down there really think that the pissed off motorist who I just gave 4 tickets to is going to get a "customer satisfaction survey" card from me?
From PO 5-1313, Dial-A-Beating to Customer Satisfaction cards in one lifetime. Very hard to believe it all disintegrated so fast.
If this whole episode wasnt so sad it would actually be funny.
HOLY FUCK!!!! NO WAY CAN THIS BE REAL!!!! This is far to stupid to be real. Say it isn't so! If it is true this comes directly from J-fed's "policy group think tank" of stupid people with no time on the job. This policy group is causing so much damage to the morale with their pompus brilliant ideas. Who are these fools? And can someone please tell them to get over themselves and stop writing. Someday they will have to come back down to our level when J-fed is gone and act like they were on our side all along. NOT!!!
April 2, 2009
"If I...saw that I was the cause of (poor) morale in this department, no one would have to ask me to leave. I would leave on my own." - Jody P. Weis
And the survey said?????????????
OT: From the FOP website:
DEFACEMENT COURT CASE UPDATE
The next scheduled court date is 14 October 2009 for arraignment before the Chief Judge at 26th and California. Members are again encouraged to attend.
I don't live in Chicago (suburbanite) and I have no connection to law enforcement there, but I love this blog and have learned much reading it and others the past few months.
My response to this idea is, you gotta be kidding? This is so demeaning. It reduces the cop to a server, and the public to a consumer. Is this a drive-through city now? Hello, may I take your order? Have a nice day!!!
I had a fender bender on the North Side a few months ago. The cops were prompt and relatively helpful (hey, this aint Disneyland) and only gently suggested a friend's body shop for the repairwork. If I had a complaint I'd have let someone know. Otherwise, here's a novel idea, assume the public is satisfied with the level of service.
You guys have my sympathies and my thanks.
This card won't go over well with anyone in the dept who is on the street. By the way, for traffic stop I have an answer on how my perceived actions will be viewed " I was a Huge Mother Fucker who wrote a ticket, and I am probably a racist" according to the motorist who was cited.
Kudos SCC. And when you leave JFED, take your lackeys with you.
I became the police when I was very young. I had delusions of grandeur. My father loved this department, he served for as many decades as many of us have been on the planet.
Jodi Weis effectively then proceeded to ruin the best job on earth.
"How's my driving?" Last time I checked, I am neither a taxi driver nor a truck driver. My driving is fine. Just ask my partner. He's still alive.
"How did you like my service, here's a comment card." I am not the Jimmy Dogs hot dog guy, nor am I the waitress at the Sizzler. I am a police officer. So, YOU called ME here, and I get to not only solve your life problems, but you get to comment on my demeanor? You might not like it, but guess what? Because of you and your "rights" et al., the people I come home to at night don't really like me either. But they don't get to fill out a comment card.
Hopefully this will also be rescinded, as I hold my breath. At least in several of the "pilot" districts, some of those people have jobs.
Let me just name some more idiotic plans this character has laid for this department.
*Let's have the exempts ride around in a busy district 4 hours a week.
*Cameras. In the cars.
*The Tahoe (I could go on for pages, but I won't).
*Swiping.
*Showing up unannounced at ORC, blowing smoke up our collective ass, and then acknowledging that we're in "RAP'S" so we'll wrap this up.
*0.04. No matter what. No exceptions.
*Bill Cozzi.
To name a few. In closing, I would just like to add that Jodi Weis claimed that if he were responsible for the decrease in morale, i.e. current disposition of all members of the CPD in some way, shape or form, he would resign.
Jodi, you are a liar.
This is all your fault.
Even though a few of these "ideas" were not set into motion, in effect just their mention makes all of us on the front lines shudder. We are now conditioned to believe that every order that seems unbelievable will be rescinded anyways. You are like that bad parent who says, "Don't make me count to three...."
We are sick of you, we are over you we don't like you, we have no respect for you.
By we, I mean the working police. I don't know about everyone who is willing to do anything to keep their "spot" as to not go back to the west/southside and have to deal w/the animals...
I wouldn't ask you to put on the uniform (because it's a disrespect and you haven't earned it), but masquerade as a tact/gang person in a busy district for a week. See how we are treated, see what we deal with. Every day, people lie to us, try to manipulate us, yell "FUCK YOU," at us (happened to me tonight) try to outsmart us, and bottom line, know that they can disrespect us, and nothing can/will be done.
You have de-policed us, you have allowed us to become a target. And if you don't believe a lowly blue shirt, ride w/a team for a week, the teams get it bad too.
NOONE RESPECTS US. Because of you.
NOONE LISTENS TO US. Because of you.
You did this. You can't undo it. Just. Go. Away.
This has to be a joke. If its not its going to be hilarious. I am going to give these cards to everyone I arrest and urge them to follow through. I will do narcotics and gang dispersals but first hand them these cards. I will give them to the people I ticket. If we all do this maybe
J-fed will realize that what we do on a day to day basis makes people dislike us or hate us and that that is an inherent part of urban policing. Mayberry this is not.
We are truly in the Bizzaro World.
I AM THE VIKING IN 023, known by few but feared by many. What the fuck is this??????? Are YOU kidding me?????? Our station is over 100 YEARS OLD, we have PDT'S that are down half the time and you want US to hand out cards????? Our Roll Call room is over 95 degrees because of the antiquated system in the station. We HAVE NOOOOO PARKING AT ALL IN OR AROUND THE STATION!!!!!! As a supervisor I am truely ASHAMED of this and apologize to the coppers who have to endure this insanity. How much more must we endure just to pay our bills and feed our family and put our kids thru school?????????????? It is obvious that 35th and Michigan view the enemy as those wearing a blue shirt, NOT THE GANG BANGERS ON THE STREET. SCC, I don't know if you will post this but I will say this to those in blue,BE SAFE, WATCH OUT FOR MANAGEMENT , THEY ARE NOT ON YOUR SIDE AND GO HOME IN ONE PIECE.......As far as this job goes with relation to Headquaters...." it is done , for they know not what they do"........................... WE HAVE NO LEADERSHIP, WE HAVE NO SUPPORT, THIS DEPARTMENT IS DESIGNED TO FAIL"............Keep your head low, stay dry, don't go hungry and go home in the same condition you showed up.....Till then, make the city work for YOU.......................................................
My lifejacket is waterlogged. Is there any help in sight??????
Honey,don't forget the cat food.
6th District Officers,
No worries, most of your "clients" can't read.
I'm sorry, is this real? Survey card??
Mayor Daley has always been quick to let his lackeys fall on their swords. With all the reasons he has to hang J-Fed out to dry, what's taking him so long to throw the switch?
Bella is just a loud mouth! He plains to run for FOP President. Mike Sheilds for President! The run is over Bella!
I'm guessing a record response.
customer service feedback, the mighty chicago police department is now into marketing strategies--- what are we trying to market, i could care less if a citizen likes me or not--- often vic's don't like what the police have to say to them because they always ask you questions that they already have an answer for and get pissed when they are "schooled" about what the law says and the action which can be taken by law enforcement.... another screwball idea thought up by the dream team, a bunch of goofs who have never pushed a beat car and have no clue about what happens at the district level every day....
Best RIP I've ever read on the blog! So... not only can I fill out the survey regarding my "dissatisfaction" with my police service,but I can also file a quick CR # on the Officers too? Can this all be done using the same phone# or do I have to request a Supervisor to file my (soon to be) unfounded complaint? EAT MY ASS JFED!
Also, while we're on the topic of JFED's "Policy Think Tank Group". Got a story from a ways back working CHA at an undisclosed location. I was unfortunate enough to be forced to do a walk-down of a CHA Building with JFED, His Think Tank Group, and a few other Bosses I didn't recognize, but they all had various types of Gold Clusters on their collars. Anyway, it was the most uncomfortable 20ish minutes of my career, and Thank Jeebus that the dope boys weren't out, nor any hypes. What stood out from our awkward interaction was walking down the piss and shit-stained stairwells (mid-summer) with the entire group, and the (pretty freaking hot blonde) stating out loud "Does it always smell this bad in here?" As SCC has said many times... Un-Fucking-Believable! This "Little Tart" is part of the "Policy Group" and (UNFORTUNATELY) responsible for helping Dumbass make decisions. Anyway, plenty more stupid ass things were said, but that was the highlight to me. Some smoking hot young blonde girl wearing gym shoes, tight blue jeans, a pink and white shirt under her gear asking me if it always stinks in a CHA Stairwell!? To answer your question... No Honey, it usually smells like Febreeze and Fresh Cut Flowers there.... Naturally.
Are you awake J-Fed? Are you drunk J-Fed? Are you serious J-Fed? We want the same card for you. We would show you how dissatisfied we are of you. There you go, you believe that you are doing a great job, so you would also disagree with our evaluation. J-Fed, go home. You are not from Chicago, and therefore should not be able to police Chicago. We need new political leaders. Throw all incumbents out. Vote in all new people.
ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!!
This is just another form of the "How's My Driving?" Bullshit.
I think he has crossed the line here and we have been passive too long.
It is now time to get active to torpedo this idiot so Shortshanks fires him before the end of his contract, before there is another Cozzi, and before there is another Airhardt.
Stay safe, we need intel, watch your back.
Think about it for a minute? Judy signed off on this???????
Throw the survey forms out and pass out business cards with this phrase:
You sleep soundly in your beds because rough persons, such as us, stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do you harm.
Police are not loved by the public. We make the public do what they know is right but of which they can not make themselves do.
The public pushes the gas peddle and the Police are the brake.
We are the few who turn out the lights and tell everyone that the party's over.
You are not being effective until you get threaten with a lawsuit or death.
Buy ammo.
Are his 3 years up yet? Im getting fat eating donuts and doing nothing.
J-pud you are such a stupid fuck-tard that I am now truly convinced that you do not know a fucking thing about how to run this department. What in the fuck are you fucking smoking you moronic fucking imbicile. This will in all likelyhood not be that last stupid fucking mistake you make but it will go down as being one of your all time dumbest moves with you at the helm. Only 1 and 1/2 years till your reign of stupidity ends!
A story that almost went unnoticed is how a group of Reverends want to be sure that Toddler is the only Black candidate running for Cook County Board President. They do not want the Black vote split, and this can't be called "racist".
So if we vote for John Garrido for that office because he is a police officer can we be called "polistist".
This is what happened to the last mayoral election, Daley v. Dorothy Brown v. (Who the Heck is) Bill Doc Walls. It was the Daley Divide and Conquer strategy, you cannot make me believe that Walls was not put up by Daley's people under the table.
So Shortshanks probably sees this coming, and I really want Jimmy Mauer for Mayor. What I really want is anyone but Shorty.
This is a shortshanks kind of move.
This is the kind of bullshit that is excreted from the type of mentality that the midget personifies.
The only thing that should be going onto these 'survey cards' is this:
Fuck daley.
Up his fetid ass.
Way up his fetid ass.
It's a business mindset here in the U.S. and the results are beginning to show.
Hire a 20 something MBA fresh out of school and with verry little actual business experience.
Place him in the company over people w/ 25+ yrs experience working various positions in that business/company.
Act only on the MBA's advice.
Typical results :
- alianated workforce
- costly mistakes
- accounting takes over engineering and production
- company strays from mission and purpose
- product quality suffers
- cusomers find a new source of product
Any of this sound familiar ?
Hey, I received something just like that yesterday. I went to Burger King (no, not that one, the real one) and bought a Whopper. The back of the receipt told me to call an 800-number and tell them how my purchase was. When I finished the call they gave me a code for a free french fry next time I stop by. Does that mean that from now on when you hand a "customer" a traffic ticket you have to ask them "Do you want fries with that?"
"Attention,K-Mart shoppers,we have a blue-light special in aisle 7 on the 5th floor at 35th and Michigan!".What soft-as-puppy shit moron came up this idea???Safe bet would be The Circle Jerks Of The Policy Group. When Beluga Whale Head resigns or gets fired;the goofballs from the Policy Group should be arrested and locked up forever for impersonating the police...
I'm not a north sider so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. But as far as the south side only 006 can be considered busy. Obviously jfed has handlers that direct his survey from 007, 008, 021, 022 etc. Why? Don't like the responses that will point right to the top, short shanks and jfed?
The idea for this began several years ago under Cline. It was NOT j-fed's idea. It has been done for awhile with any jobs handled by call-back. Similar programs exist in other depts and this will be done in a variety of different sized police depts nationally.
Good Bye Job! I will miss you! Fuck "the policy group!"
Jesus Christ, what is the purpose of this survey, did anyone go to the site and see the questions being asked????
What was the race of the police officer you interacted with the most?
What was the gender of the officer you interacted with the most?
What was the age of the officer you interated with the most?
Did the officer listen to what you had to say?
Do you feel the officer was fair and evenhanded?
Was the officer polite?
Do you feel the officer discriminated against you because of your race, gender, age, religion or sexual orientation?
Did the officer seem concerned about your feelings?
Was the officer patient and not rushed?
Did the officer say or do anything that you considered insulting, disrespectful or rude?
Did the officer take the matter seriously?
Did the officer appear to know what he or she was doing?
Did the officer answer your questions well?
Did the officer explain what would happen next?
Did the officer treat you more like a child or more like an adult?
Did the officer provide you with useful tips to avoid this situation in the future?
Did the officer blame you for what happened?
blah, blah, blah,
then onto
Are Chicago police officers doing a good job working with residents to solve local problems?
Are Chicago police officers effective at fighting crime?
Are Chicago police officers held accountable when they do something wrong?
Would you be willing to help the Chicago police find someone who committed a crime in your neighborhood?
Do you trust the Chicago Police Department to make decisions that are good for everyone in the city?
Do you feel the Chicago Police Department today listens to people like yourself and then tries to improve its services?
Now, if this isn't just some kind of survey, civil rights violation lawsuits pending, and perhaps instead of Chicago Police Department/Officer it would be a much better survey to insert Mayor or Alderman.
What an excellent customer service department we've become.
WRITE THOSE MOVERS.WRITE THOSE PARKERS.AND HAND OUT THOSE CARDS...
YOU FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I/F
Customer service??? Whats next? They will call us to take out their garbage?
Office...My bunions hurt cut my damn grass.
Office...go fetch ma damn groceries.
Office...Here my lank card go get me some chips.
I am beyond any type of disgrace. I am so ashamed to wear this clown suit. Thank GOD for anti depressents. Only a few more years to go!
FOP has told the city if you cant give us a retro check, give back pay to officers in the form of time due. Not bad if true.
At every call I get I am going to ask the complainant what they want me to do and then I will do just that! Take your time explain everything and backlog the fuck out of this department.
This has got to be the topper....I wonder what over educated fucking moron thought of this one. You are a true idiot who ever you are!
Scc I LOVE IT! Who thinks this shit up and are they getting payed more?
wow... well said
it's bright ideas like these cards as well as all the previous ones, that have ruined,ruined, a once great department.
Damn, don't we have at least one boss left that can grow some and just say no?
As a long time lurker who rarely comments, this is truly UFB and it raises 3 questions:
1 - Whose Idea was this?
2 - Who is paying for it?
3 - Who is getting the money?
4 - Who reviewed the bid?
5 - Who expects "honest" answers?
6 - Who is gonna write the results?
7 - Who is gonna read the results?
8 - Who decides what to do with the results?
9 - Who acturally thought this was a good idea?
Oh yeah, that was more than 3 questions.
Must be a very questonable idea.
I agree with you SCC, this may be the dumbest thing to come out of 35th street (that is not human anyway) ever! I have so many questions but I'll only ask one, I thought we were broke. So that being said, where is the money for this comming from?
Are Fucking Kidding Me?
the farther we are forced to stray from our basic job of fighting crime, the more bastardized we become, just what the greedty Daley Crime Syndicate wants. After all, the enemy of law enforcers are, CRIMINALS, of course. That's expected. Why would Daley and Company be any different. We are Superman, Daley, Lex Luthor. And J-Feeb? Is he, fill in the blank ________.
At least I have a large family, they can hit the web site and take the survey. Oh, there's a control number limiting one response per card issued? Well well just have to beat them to the punch.
This is up for the Nobel, Dumbest Shit I Ever Heard award.
I don't see the downside to the program other than that its probably a waste of money. Lots of money is wasted in Chicago.
So, let me get this straight, when some ass wipe goes through an intersection at 70 mph and an officer writes him, he gets to tell the city how happy and satisfied he was with the police. Have you ever met someone who was happy about a ticket. (That is why everyone likes firemen, the never write tickets) How much is this bullshit costing the taxpayer. This is a no win situation. God, how much longer to we have to wait for Shortshanks to grab his chest and fucking die!!!! Lord, what are you waiting for?
This Department is becoming horseshit. Go on the Supt's blog and all he does is say how there is no money for promotional exams, but they have money for this? We can't get a contract, but they will pay a 3rd party to conduct this horseshit survey? This is an outrage. We already have a system in place. It's called the Complaint Log system. If someone has a beef with how a job was handled, they call IPRA and a CL gets initiated.
Basically, this is how typical entry on the survey will go:
"The police came to my house after I called because I wanted my baby daddy to leave. they made him leave and I never got a report."
What really happened:
Police came to my house because I caught my baby daddy messin with some bitch down the street. He givin her money and he should be givin it to me./ What do you want us to do ma'am?/ I want you to do something because he cheatin'!/ I'm sorry ma'am that's not a police matter, but why don't we have him leave for now./
Complete bullshit
If this is not already....this should be treated like the worst thing that ever happened to us. As officers, we should all be completely outraged.
Un#$%^ingbelieveable,,,he really is clueless....God Rest the CPD.
We already have a mechanism to evaluate customer satisfaction. CAPS! Does anyvody remember CAPS? I think I have a CAPS refrigerator magnet or two I could regift the department to help the cause. Oh, Hey! How about IPRA cards, magnets, pencils and rulers. Come to think of it, didn't they pass out 'How to Beef' OPS pamphlets under Harold Washington's administration. Nothing changes!
"This program will be piloted in the following Districts: 2, 6, 10, 12, 19 and 23"
ADS is one of those asholes he listens to, another coward who fails to stand up for a officer when he is in the right unless you blow him.
"This program will be piloted in the following Districts: 2, 6, 10, 12, 19 and 23"
Funny how it's not being implemented in Dists 008, 016 and 022. Two of them are 2 of the largest in the city and all three of them account for probably (I'm guessing) 75 percent of the Police Population.
Funny how that works.
Someone needs to tell J-Fed he is not running Wal-mart, he is the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department. This campaign is inappropriate in every way, shape and form. Especially when their Commander meetings are leaked and you know Goddamn well J-Fed doesn't give a rat's ass about feedback.
When you think it can't get any worse, it does.

Just great 019 district has never been used for any type of pilot program. We have the old pdts when the likes of 014 dist have been riding around with the new ones for about 4 years now! Then all the surrounding districts are on the new schedule pilot programs. 020 has the ten hour days, 014 has the 4 and 2 schedule. But lets hammer 019. Lets make them a pilot district for these bs cards. what a joke!
Ditto
Give me the survey now...Im happy with the police service in my area.
I moved back there based on the fast response times of these cops, among other things...

Is it nonsense, of course, but SCC your overreacting when you state that it will take decades to repair what the brain crew on 5 has done to the dept. With the exception of losing most of the experienced vets what has jfed done that would take so long to correct. For now the boots on the street that write tix can also provide a mint with the tix and survey. After jfed = business as usual.
Dear J-Fed,
You are a complete horses ass without a lick of knowledge or experience in being the Police in the Big City. Actually, I doubt you can even spell the word Police. You have surrounded yourself with clowns that you call command staff. I suspect that Daley had a lot of input in your/his selection of Exempt staff. You know what we think about Daley !!!! You have demoralized a once proud Department. Don't even mention a few scandals that have occured. The alderthieves have done a great job of keeping a few representatives in prison over the years.
You are quite aware that you're an over paid fucking CLOWN.
Take your survey and shove it in your brown eye.
FUCK J-FED
FUCK DALEY
FUCK MASTERS
"Carpetbagger" seems about the most appropriate term. Once all the carpetbaggers leave town, the men and women of the CPD, who live and grew up here, will go about the business of repairing the damage cause by those same carpetbaggers.
Relax, breathe, and take a personal. The program died right after How's my driving" program.
This is a non issue. Trust me.
SCC
"Everyone knows what we call someone who accepts money for services rendered, and it isn't "politician," although it's close."
Really? Come on politicians are the master whores.
I read the FOP newsletter article about the “Customer Satisfaction Survey Pilot” to my usually upbeat and positive wife. She immediately burst out laughing. She is a regular churchgoer and I normally do not burden her with the crap that takes place at the CPD but over the years she has heard more than her share of CPD nonsense.
And she burst out laughing at the thought of me handing out “Customer Satisfaction Survey” cards. You gotta' love the command staff that gave us this latest nonsense. Unbelievable. Where do they get this stuff? Is this what daley spent all that money for, for an FBI agent/superintendent who first sends one of our own to prison and now wants us to hand out “Customer Satisfaction Survey” cards?
I think my retirement date may just get pushed up a bit. This shit is really getting to be unbelievable.
I work in 002. It must have been a year and a half ago, an inspector showed up in roll call and announced we were starting this program way back then. Obviously it got cancelled. It never started. Hopefully it gets the axe again. 002 is one of the lucky pilot districts for this crap. But we stay with the shitty schedule. you think i am making any traffic stops now with that card? hahahahahahaha.

The 19th district warrior is crying and whinning. Bad equipment but no crime. I have a answer for you!Go to a fast district with newer equipment. It would be a culture shock for you in a district with crime.
I think they should add survey boxes to our case reports so we can give our opinion of the people we come in contact with: check all that apply:
Demeanor:
jagoff
gangbanger
loud mouth baby mama
Cleanliness of residence:
disgusting
filthy
roaches
Csn we use the site and overload it with comments on J fed?
You have to remember we are not people, we are not personnel, we are just a resource to the pencil pushers. This was obvious if you notice that we no longer have a Personnel Division we now have Human Resources. In other words we are just a resource like coal or oil or lumber.
Is it possible to get a "get the JFed out" count down clock on the blog?
i almost feel off my chair reading that yesterday. we are now into customer service. wow. the good citizens only call on us when they are in trouble of some sort. car crash, fights, shootings, drunks, etc. then of course we always make their day by stopping them and making it such an inconvienence for them. they get their tickets and continue to swear at us while we walk back to the quiet comfort of our car. of course, they will call and beef, they can reamin unk to the survey; but yet be as slandurous as possible. we have no legal recourse for their actions. what could possibly happen to us? another way for cr's to be generated without and affidavit. we are so screwed. this administration has to go. whatever contact with the public we might have on a daily basis should surley slow down now. this is what daley and the supt. want. no contact. that's fine with me.
We are DOOM,DOOM,DOOM, too many civilians from city hall in command of the police department. J-fed this is not a private corporation for big business, we don't deal with corporate people we deal with animals of the worst kind. We are in the business of locking up criminals and keeping the peace. What in your pea-brain would make you think at these low-lifes would ever say anything postive about us. PLEASE GET OUT OF DODGE YOU POOR EXCUSE FOR A SUPERINTENDENT. IT will take this Department a long time to recover from this, and the most sorry part about this is there is nobody qualified on this Department to right this ship. When will the FED come in and take over this department, it can't be and worst than it is how and they will take city hall hands off the Department
Un-fucking-believable !!!!
a survey that is going to ask a persons opinion after a ticket? Im sure the person getting the tickets opinion would not be affected by losing their license and having to go to court
How's my policing? Answer: It sucks because I don't give a flying f*ck anymore. I do the minimum I have to and that's it. Personally I don't give a rat's ass about event numbers, DOC areas, crime stats, bringing in guns. We have met the enemy and it is us. PS Wheres my contract? To whoever thought of survey cards. This term was coined in the 70's and is still appropriate today for you. You are a DICKWEED.
Hahahaha this is to funny to even get upset about. So are we to expect that once you arrest someone or TVB and impound their vehicle that they will have some positive comments for the officer? Bring on the CR's you morons running the department.
Great post, SCC.
I loved that link to the piece on the FBI whistle-blower. It really opened a window into what a back-stabbing empty suit he really is.
He gleefully threw another agent under the bus, and now it's apparent that he has a lengthy track record of disloyalty.
Thanks for shedding light on Superintendent Jody Weasel.
They must have hired a bunch of kids who just got out of business school who took marketing.
You're not running a KFC or McDonalds idiots, the police aren't suppose to satisfy customers. They are peace officers who are suppose to maintain order and arrest criminals.
We've got the same problem in our department with the political hack bosses who do our annual evaluations. The ball washers get 4's, no matter how lazy they are, while those of us with no clout get 2's.
Too much business school, not enough high school.
"Hey Jody, you fucked up again! By the way;What kind of parent names their son Jody???????

One who wanted a girl.
And sorta got one.
Disgusting! The city is broke so how can we afford the postage to mail these letters to the good citizens of chicago??
I WILL NOT hand out these cards. I Don't care what they say or do about it. If they have a complaint, they can contact OPS/IAD just like they have done for years.
Question........Can negative comments or a negative rating about police service be the basis for disciplinary acttion?
If it can, that is like handing someone a gun to shoot you!
"Does anyone down there really think that the pissed off motorist who I just gave 4 tickets to is going to get a "customer satisfaction survey" card from me?
From PO 5-1313, Dial-A-Beating to Customer Satisfaction cards in one lifetime. Very hard to believe it all disintegrated so fast.
10/14/2009 12:45:00 AM"
So, do what they want.
Stop writing tickets.
Period.
No contact, no card.
It has been done for awhile with any jobs handled by call-back
--They are call takers & report writers ONLY!
There's a BIG difference in what they do and what we do.
As a civilian who lives in 010 I am here to say that this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. No one calls the cops around here unless shots are fired and nop one will help the police. Sad. True.
All of this crap from HQ just "hurts my heart". The things they are doing to the job I once loved.
WHAT A FUCKIN ASSHOLE!!!

Where is the 19th Dist? And how many calls for service do you get during your tour??
Maybe that's why your dist was picked, because there is a bit more time between calls, less calls for service, and not in a RAP for 23.5 hours a day.
FOP has told the city if you cant give us a retro check, give back pay to officers in the form of time due. Not bad if true.

Wait until I get a few of these cards. They will have comments from Boo-Boo, Ray-Ray, and Chewey. This oughta be fun.
You forgot to mention COWARD! RIP JA
I'll make my own cards. You have just received service from the Chicago Police Department. Please go to this website and fill in a survey.
WWW.EATSHIT.FED
It is wishful thinking if you believe that when Weis leaves in 16 months ( if he does leave)that you are going to get a superintendent who can or will repair any damage and restore the morale. The damage has been going on since Daley took over the city. Can you name a superintendent under Daley that was even somewhat honest?Fair? Transparent? I did not think so. Likely any replacement will come from the current crop of exempts. Someone who will tow the city hall line.
Man, that was good.
When is this guys 3 year term up? He has to go and go soon!
No contract, understaffed, shit equipment, gang bangers running the streets. And this is what this asshole is putting his energy into. I can't fucking beleive it. There are more important thigs that need to be addressed. He would know that if he was ever a police officer. Jody you truely are pathetic.
No problem. Take as much time on a job as you have to. Explain the card and its contents to the citizens. Can you say severe backlog and this stupid idea will be gone quick!
Dugan thinks this is ok? Still think he's a great guy who has your back?
We're fucked! Please remember that in 023, especially Uptown, the anti-police group CopWatch travels about with scanners and video cameras taping every police contact they can. Wait until they get their hands on a bunch of tthese cards. Also, this Sat there will be an anti-police march through Boystown against the DUI writing cop in 023. It's masked as a pro-gay Matthew Shepard honor march but the anti-police flyers floating around say otherwise. Will all these participants get cards? You're right, un-fucking believable!!!!!!
ohh j-fed, i got a speeding violation and it was a horrible experience--- the officer had a belly the size of a medicine ball and told me "gimme your license speed racer"-- he had this tie which had stains all over it and he blew cigar smoke in my face-- he took so long to write the citation that i was late for my massage at the turkish bath house--- when he came back to my car he handed me a yellow thing and said "have a nice day"--- mr j-fed i promise you that i will never speed again.....
"you want policy, bring back 80/20s, crown caps, leather jackets and a mustache and go after the real criminals. forget this pisser and drinker crap... thats not police work. answering all your jobs, writing your paper, gettin your lunch, two personals and a part one arrest with 1 mover and 5 parkers is what use to be expected."
please get promoted. soon. we need you to be our shepherd. bless you and the lame horse you rode in on.
Superintendent Weiss, if you, or any,of your people, really do read this post, please listen.
When I see you "playing dressup" in your CPD uniform, I find it very offensive. What really makes me crazy, is when, I see you in the CPD Leather Jacket. Especially since the Leather Jacket, is no longer a required piece of equipment. It proves to me, you don't have a clue as to how offensive,and obvious narcisstic you are.
I suspect you plan to wear that leather jacket after you leave the dept. as your personnel badge of honor, that really is not right.
As a retired exempt this program was brought up in 2000 by a female exempt DK. The entire exempt command thought is was nuts and voted in down.
OK Jody, let's see you hand out 8, 9, 10 or 11 thousand or whatever number of blueshirts you can actually field, SATISFACTION CARDS on your performance.
OR have FOP hand them out for you, same rules apply, one per customer, control numbers to prevent duplication.
Now if you get a less than 50% satisfaction rating from us will you immediately resign? Can FOP hold a Vote of NO CONFIDENCE?
Stay safe, it's going to take a lot of work and a lot of time to heal the damage this man has done. (Jimmy Mauer for Mayor is a good start.)
I had a "citizen" with an out-of-control child just the other day. The little 15 yo didn't want to take her meds or do her home work...I asked the only proper question...what do you want the police to do?...mom's response..."something"
I informed babymama (in a calm polite way) that police officers determine if a crime occurred and make an arrest if the facts dictate, not babysit; I then waved goodby.
Gee, what do you think this woman will write on her card?
REPORT CARDS! here's a great new idea J-Fraud! Let's have monthly report cards for the street officers. They will have to take them home and have them signed by their wives/husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends/ whatever, and returned to you.
Then we have a PTA like meeting and each officer who isn't measuring up to your "G-man" standards will have to bring their mom/dad/girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever to meet with you and your wonderful staff of pinheads to see just what's the problem.
It works in grammer school, why not the CPD?
it's amazing how quick a lt will sell out to be promoted to rank of merit captain
merit captains will sell out fellow captains and supervisors for a gold star
SCC:
I just spoke to the FOP. I asked if we could individually conduct a NO CONFIDECE vote on the current Superintendent. They replied they already did that. I told them it was not taken very seriously and the Superintendent's response was that it was only 160 people. They responded it was taken seriously because the newspapers printed it. Although they did agree it may have more of an impact if 7,000Officers participated. I am not bitching about the FOP. They were very nice but not receptive. Mark Donahue is in Springfield, of course! You have become our voice and I was wondering if you would be interested in surveying your readers. If there is a positive response, I will identify myself and attempt to spearhead this campaign. We have to do something. Although I think this should be done by the FOP organization, we may have to do it alone. It cannot be accomplished without your help. Any interest?
Relax boys and girls. The thugs and mugs you deal with are not equipped with writing utensils. Not ever the crayons they ate as chilrun.
And I keep reading the city is broke, so they can't pay the postage, can they? They wouldn't dream of diverting dollars needed to back up the police operations, riight?
No thug I ever dealt with had the ability to write a card, add postage, and actually mail it.
Maybe that fired Morale Officer could interact with the folk, preferably in the early morning hours?
Don't get mad. Get even. Flood the phone number with calls telling what an excellent job the officer did. Same with the website.
Business cards are cheap. Have some printed up the resemble the "official" card, but have them list SCC as the website and a non-working phone number. Use your imagination. Beat 'em at their own game.
when did this turn into SEARS?

Please tell that to the Strouse family.
You know, I never liked the police. They always were so coarse and vulgar. Being around them, even on a social level, I understood why, considering what and who they deal with. Yet the fact that they carry the police persona into their personal lives defies me. An educated person tailors their responses to the community they deal with. An FBI agent actually wrote that and I have found it to be true in my life experience. Nonetheless, despite my dislike for their demeanor and seemingly "elitist" attitude, they are the authority structure and need to be respected for their position because regardless of everything, they are to protect and serve the community from crime. These cards are a joke and an obvious injury to their position and capacity as law enforcement officers. I mean, really, look at Chicago and its residents, no one likes the police and this only undermines you guys more which affects law abiding citizens sense of security that you will carry out your duties as you see fit which is a necessary part of you being successful police officers. Jody really is Brutus's knife into the very body that he is supposed to be leading. Definitely, not by example. I mean, is there anyone in there, Jody, because you come across as empty and robot-like and completely heartless in every way. You do no good to the residents of Chicago by doing this because you are widening the open door Daley has created of reversing the rightful authority of power in the police to savage citizens limited most by their self-entitled need that "I don't want anybody to tell me what to do", who are limited to a vocabulary of 20 words or less(maybe too much credit) and their only education comes from the street. You threaten our very safety and well-being by making a police officer to become a customer service representative. Just absolutely ridiculous. I don't like the police but I respect them and actually pity them under your leadership and especially Daley's. It makes me wonder, is this Daley's retaliation over his gargantuan Olympic loss?
Does Jody have cards to pass out? How's my Suping? Are you satisfied with the damage I've caused? Suggestions welcomed.
This is from a Two years Wonder?
Is this what that Moron did for the FBI?
Why doesn't JFED and that Studering little-prick get their collective heads out of theirs asses and let us DO our jobs.
This just in from HQ. 4 on 2 off 9 hour days beginning 01Jan10, citywide.
Then what? People almost never had a reason to interact with the police, and most of the time its not a good situation. Tickets, arrests. I need a class on how to be polite
Fuck that! Just hand out preprinted complimentary letters for yourself that the citizen can sign. Only give the cards out when the shitheads want to get a CR on you. Tell them this is the new way to file a complaint.
More often than not, someone happy with the service they received will not usually take the time to positively comment on it. Only the chronic complainers comment and they are usually never happy with anything. Also, if these comment cards are handed out at traffic stops and such, they will never provide positive feedback. How often does someone pulled over for a traffic violation acknowledge they were wrong? How often will someone arrested for breaking the law comment positively about the service? Again this is another program not thoroughly considered in the realm of policing. It amazes me that people(the brass who come up with these ideas) so well paid are so stupid. I really don't know how you all can do your job considering what you put up with from the citizens as well as some the bosses. As a citizen I am forever grateful for the work you do and understand the difficulty you deal with. I commend you and thank you. Be safe.

The issue is that someone actually thought this up, and that it ACTUALLY MADE IT OUT OF THE brain TRUST!!
002 is getting this, LOL! G-Nessa in for even less work from the boys and girls. This is absolutley, without a doubt, the silliest thing. We're the "PR" police. Just gives people dissatisfied with the officers decision, e.g., determining who is the striking vehicle in an auto accident a chance to beef falsely on the officer. I thought I was doing nothing now, LOL. I guess I'll cross below the 0 line now. F this policy and F the policymakers who have their collective heads up their stinkholes!
The good news...Pooky don't got no compruter. Pooky ain't able to be reedin' and shit. Pooky ain't be got no time to be assessin' no po-po bullshit. Pooky don't give no fuck! Why should we?
Jody, no money for the police but plenty to be throwing away to UIC for some useless survey? Nice. Carry on...
I personally think the survey is a great idea, however who are our "customers"? As this program stands it's like asking horses about the customer service that they recieve from a dog food company. My customer is the little old lady who didn't get hit over the head and robbed by the "customers" of the dope house I just raided. Ask her how nice it is that she didn't get brutalized by all of the crack heads. Ask the real honor student that didn't get shot by the gun that I just took off of the four time felon who was protecting his enterprise. Since homicides are down by you numbers Mr. Weiss I guess that you dint have to ask them, just look at the numbers. I just ask you to use a little common sense and figure out who the customers of the policing service really are.
Fidelity
Bravery
Integrity
those words used to mean something to you, or did they?
First of all, this idea like all the other bad ideas will be swept under the rug. The answer is simple. Do nothing but answer your calls. I know of two officers that answered a 10-1 call and crossed the board of their district into the next. They got there and helped. Some of the bosses found out and screamed at them telling them to stay in their own district. The "bosses" called the officers own district and those bosses called both officers in and reamed them as well once again. FUCK THIS JOB!
This was a great idea! We need to hit bottom.
We MUST continue down this slide. The people of this city DESERVE to have a non-functioning police department.
I will not be happy until two coppers on-view one thug blasting (fists, gun, board, whatever) another thug in the head and one of the coppers asks, "Should we do anything about that?" And, the other replies, "Are you crazy? We could get into trouble."
Then, the city will finally have the police department it deserves.
It's all part of the plan.
The city is desperately trying to force retirements and run CPD manpower down to 7000. The city wants everyone gone at age 50.
Can we now take a vote of ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY no confidence?
This guy fits in perfectly in this state. We have a former governor about to further disgrace himself by going on TV with Trump, a dip-shit of a mayor who stutters his way through stealing our taxes and acts as if it's his birth right to do so, and now this cross eyed clown goof ball with his surveys running a major police department into the ground.
Throw in all of the reverends pushing for a black only ticket for county president. Ah, Illinois. There's just no place like it.
Who says we can't flood that web site and say what an unbelievably fantastic job we're doing? Not to mention how damn good looking we all are and how we deserve massive raises.
WHO IN THE FUCK decided that University of Illinois faculty/students of the Criminal Justice Department have the experience or know-how to fairly and properly evaluate police officers??????
Just go on their Criminal Justice Department websites and read the course descriptions-very anti-police.
FUCK THEIR CARDS, FUCK THEIR 800 NUMBER.
I'll tell you what, let me confront anyone at UIC who "evaluates" any of the police officers actions based on this moronic program
hey 4:06am,your a fucking asshole, you must be one of those 35th st morons why dont you visit 004 or 005 or 007,dick wad

Since Daley and J-Fed claim there are 13000 cops on the payroll and there are really only 6-7000...where does the rest of the budgeted money go?
Just wondering
Who is getting the big contract to print this shit,and to record it? who daley? masters?
Wow, you can take the survey w/o an RD number. I put Jody Weiss is an idiot in all the comment boxes! Whee! Oh, and "Masters"

SCC, this may be your best post ever. You certainly deserve that Nobel prize for literature. I could not have said it better so I won't try. I'm just glad I can leave in 3 years. Maybe I'll have the opportunity to see a real administrator who was the real police take the helm and try to turn this salvage this once great department.
Do your job with pride but do nothing and I mean NOTHING to generate any way of funds for the city.
If you have to make an arrest make it
if you have to write a dui because you have no choice do it and do it to the full extent so your off the street as long as possible do it.
But do not be agressive because this regime wants nothing to do with pro active police officers.
and may I say one more thing.

How about SCC creates our own "How am Doing" card with Jody's name on with all his short comings, we fill them out and mail to to J-Fed.
Maybe he'll fire himself.

I'm one of those who run from gunfire, a civilian. However, I have the highest respect for the CPD and worry for their safety all the time. They deserve much better leadership than our corrupt mayor has given them. Jody: why don't you take a survey of the average citizen in Chicago, not the lawbreakes, and ask those people what they think of you?
so what is the role of ipra should the survey card be filled out negatively...after all it has a reference no.
does ipra reach out & call?
if it compliments, does it go to personnel for the officers' file?
is the card prepaid with WHAT MONEY?
who is being paid to review with WHAT MONEY?
possible grant from the stimulus bill...
when you examine any decision from the department or politicians...IT ALL COMES DOWN TO MONIES, NOTHING MORE.
citizens are an afterthought, and they are rebelling in public forums, check msn homepage where there is an article stating more guns were bought after this last president election, and citizens are gathering with signs of "revolution," check it out.
Also, while we're on the topic of JFED's "Policy Think Tank Group". Got a story from a ways back working CHA at an undisclosed location. I was unfortunate enough to be forced to do a walk-down of a CHA Building with JFED, His Think Tank Group, and a few other Bosses I didn't recognize, but they all had various types of Gold Clusters on their collars. Anyway, it was the most uncomfortable 20ish minutes of my career, and Thank Jeebus that the dope boys weren't out, nor any hypes. What stood out from our awkward interaction was walking down the piss and shit-stained stairwells (mid-summer) with the entire group, and the (pretty freaking hot blonde) stating out loud "Does it always smell this bad in here?" As SCC has said many times... Un-Fucking-Believable! This "Little Tart" is part of the "Policy Group" and (UNFORTUNATELY) responsible for helping Dumbass make decisions. Anyway, plenty more stupid ass things were said, but that was the highlight to me. Some smoking hot young blonde girl wearing gym shoes, tight blue jeans, a pink and white shirt under her gear asking me if it always stinks in a CHA Stairwell!? To answer your question... No Honey, it usually smells like Febreeze and Fresh Cut Flowers there.... Naturally.

That's a funny story, but doesn't suprise me. First, I must say that I have seen her handfull of times and she is very hot, but this broad hasn't done a damm thing on this job except swoon over J-Fed with her good looks. She spent all of her 5 years on the job in the lock-up in 025, the TRU unit and a brief stint on a tact team in 020. Now she walks around with J-fed looking hot and writing policy for us underlings to follow. I wonder if J-Fed would have taken an ugly broad on his policy group? Look for her to a merit boss soon. The job is lost!!!!!!
Skew the numbers fill the fucking thing out yourself. DO IT EVERYDAY!!!! I just did it 30 times. Fuck these assholes.
God Bless the 1st and the 16th!
Mr Superintendent: I work in the 16th dist and have been on the job for almost 28yrs, I have worked in the 18th dist in the early 80's and then gangs north and SOS and then came north to help protect my neighbor hood. When I respond to jobs I sometimes have to raise my voice and yell back at the caller or someone else on the scene. Yes they might be people with clot heavy jobs, or off duty police officers or fireman or just your average gang banger/dug dealer, but I have to take control, and just because they can't have it their way every time does not mean that I am wrong. I think this " how was I treated" program is not the right thing to do. You are going to make it where we won't have any action with the public unless we am called to the scene. If you really want to know how to boost the morale of this department, put a panel together of 3-working police officers from each district/unit and have them meet once a month with you to discuss the problems of every day police work. Just a little advise from a working street cop. H.B.
NO MOREA CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT it's now called the CHICAGO "PLEASE" DEPARTMENT.
Off Topic, But Important if You Live in Bridgeport:
According to the noon news this neighborhood is being covered by birdshit, as well as city bullshit...
Many thousands of starlings are cueing up for a casting call for a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's, THE BIRDS. The shit is hitting the fan, the streets, the cars and some residents are seeking small business loans for guano farming.
If you live there it's a chirping, smelly and disgusting mess. The neighbors are setting off fireworks, honking horns and calling 3-1-1 to no avail.
The ideal solution might be to get the city to bring in a couple of peregrine falcons to feast on the invaders. Homeowners could try the standard plastic owl statue; the trick to make that work is to move it everyday. There is also a battery operated owl statue moves its head and hoots and costs $25-30.
Or you might try this. Years ago we had a huge truck garage in our district that kept getting false burglar alarms because there were pigeons flying around inside. The alarms stopped, and later when I went in there I saw these very large, white inflated balls hanging from the rafters. On one side the was two large black disks painted almost touching each other. On the other side there was three or four thick wavy lines painted. When I asked what they were for I was told they were put there by an exterminator. The black spots had the appearance of the eyes of a predator bird to the pigeons and they cleared out.
It shouldn't be too hard to get some inflatable balls, paint them up and hang them from the the trees like Christmas ornament. If it works, great. If it works and you get interviewed on TV news, mention that you read it on SECONDCITYCOP.
Stay safe, and stay out of the yeeech.
Complete losers.
That is all.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE ONCE PROUD C.P.D.? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US.
Four more and its the door(turn out the lights)for me. It just isn't enjoyable anymore.
Who the hell is up there in the "policy group" anyway? What are the backgrounds in this "think tank."
How many cops are there?
Do they have more than ten years of law enforcement experience under their belts?
MAYBE EXEMPTS SHOULD HAND OUT CARDS ASKING TO BE EVALUATED BY THE WORKING POLICE.JUST A SUGGESTION. JODY
Great, so now before you Miranda someone, should you let them know that "this interaction may be monitored for quality assurance?"
Policy group? Is that the group with Sgt. Hamiton? If it is, do nothing, political, suck ass. - all talk.
old retired guy
This is what you get when the (powers)posers that be enacted the manditory college requirements. You ain't need no kollej for dis job, juss kommin cents and skreet smarts.
I as a supervisor REFUSE to participate in this program and I will NOT let any one of my officers participate in this program either....NO FUCKING WAY!! We are the police...you want a customer service gig...hire a phone service..or a relations company...NONE OF MY PEOPLE WILL DO THIS.....NEVER!! Signed: A Real Old School Sgt.
What is this I hear about a reward for info on cop shooters like the NYPD has? Anyone know?
Members of the Captain’s ans Lieutenant’s Association are all prostitutes. The sold their souls long time ago. The proof is when they signed off on their contract which 83% of the Sergeants voted down. As long as there is a gold braid pension dangled in front to them 90% of them are cowards. It is amazing how they somehow grow a set only after they are dumped or hit 60 with 30 years. The gold braid pension has to be rescinded along with J-Pud and his think tank policy group of three year wonders!
I didnt know that CPD, or any police department for that matter was in the customer service business. Maybe they can also put suggestion boxes at all district desks. Whatever brain childs thought this one up should be taken out back and beaten like the rented mules that they are.
gimme an event # for a "hows my policing" mission.
OT
ObamaCare and gun control
It is nearly certain that coverage prescribed by the administration will, to control costs, exclude coverage for what it regards as excessively dangerous activities. And, given Sebelius’ well-established antipathy to the Second Amendment — she vetoed concealed carry legislation as governor of Kansas — we presume she will define these dangerous activities to include hunting and self-defense using a firearm. It is even possible that the Obama-prescribed policy could preclude reimbursement of any kind in a household which keeps a loaded firearm for self-defense.
The sky is falling!! You would think you guys were a citizens the way you jump off the deep end all the time. Take it easy. Just do what we always do. Nod ok Mr. Supervisor at roll call,and then go do what ever you want when you drive out of the lot. This to shall pass.
Not only have I not felt like the police for the past 3 years or so, now I'm no longer proud to be the police. All these stats, missions and dozens of other BS over the years has killed the job. I wish they would just let us be the police again like I remember it about 10 years ago. I wish the working public knew what was going on.
Take the survey It is funny as hell. I cant wait to hear the results, it will be all over the news that chicago police are racists. What a joke this F*$KING city and department has become.
J-Fed was doing fine until he saw the billboard "CHICAGO POLICE SUPERINTENDANT so easy a CAVEMAN can do it" !
Say whaaaaaaaat?
Dear SCC,
First, let me congratulate you for all the accolades you've earned, (Best Police Blog 2008, chicagotribune.com's Chicago's Best Blogs, and of course your recent Nobel Prize for Blogiture!). Though I know in the past, you have downplayed the amount of time you actually invest in producing SCC, it is, nonetheless, that time that you put into the blog that makes it so successful, (over 7 1/2 million visits to date!).
That being said, I have a couple of observations:
SCC seems to be at its strongest, most popular and most influential, (and most feared by Daley), when presenting political expose's. Rest assured that any blog that can command the readership you have, it is being, at least tacitly, monitored by Daley and the 50 Thieves.
So, how does the stuttering prick keep you from influencing your readership against the idiot politicians? How about getting his overpaid hired gun, Bozo The Clown, CPD Supt to cause chaos amongst the troops? Planting stories out there to divert attention worked even when the midget's daddy was doing it back in the '60s. Burke has been doing it for 40 yrs as an Alderthief. And when Shortshanks, himself, isn't orchestrating a diversion, (like the failed Olympic bid), you can bet his lieutenants in the Daley/Burke Crime Family are.
I know you are primarily a police blog and that you cannot lose sight of what has made you successful. You have balanced that well with the political stories that never cease to amaze in this town. I know that your readership has recognized patterns where Daley just HAPPENS to be out of town when a scandal breaks in his administration. I also believe that when stoies like this "Customer Satisfaction Survey Pilot Program" come out, its probably a good time to look behind the curtain and see what little Richie is REALLY up to!
Our city and Police Dept. have become a laughingstock around the country, even around the globe. Our only saving grace is that we can VOTE to end this insanity! Please try to keep some focus on getting rid of our corrupt government, even as these "How's My Driving", "How's My Police Service" diversionary stories pop up from time to time.
We all must keep our eyes on the prize! VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!
Wow now thats DEEP!
Could you imagine being the DESPISED (Jodi).
Man even if you were to pack it in you were a disgrace in your endeavors and ultimately YOU as Jodi still have to live with yourself and the fact that so many disrespect you......
It's like Michael Scott (the BOSS) of "The OFFICE" tv series...Same feelings here.)
I give Jodi a kudos (hear me out)for at least having the NERVE to keep standing in here and not bailing..(Totally stupid or just a stone cold jagbag...you decide)
Reasons:
A. Getting the no respect from thousands he is in charge of and his from old peers from the FBI too...I know some of them..
B. Dealing with Daley day in and day out and that BULLSHIT....fuck that would break most men alone!
C. Thinking he is making a difference for the City the Department, the Officers Integrity, the Reverends , the Neighborhoods he never knew or for whomoever he thinks he is fooling with his Obama like speeches
D.Not imploding and having a nervous breakdown over ALL this shit
The guy is NOT HUMAN...I guess that showed when he SANDBAGGED Officer COZZI!
3 bars
SCC...congrats. You've finally taken a verbal stand and you've stated for the record what thousands of us have stated here in the comments section (more or less), or have thought every single day we've gone to work at what is now a shell of what a real Police Dept. used to be. The Mayor, Weis, and Masters should be ashamed of how they've destroyed what was once a place you loved to come to work at! No more...what they've done to some of the better exempts whose careers they threw in the toilet, even worse, the hideous examples of 'leadership' they've thrown in our faces over the past year and half is, in a word, indefensible. DISGUSTING is probably an even better word. Will Weis ride out his 'perfect storm' to the tune of another $310 grand next year, or has he decided it's best to 'cut & run?' Time will tell.
We only hope that Weis takes his FBI budget draining/do nothing pals with him, along with Jackson, Peterson, Dugan, Cuello, Masters & Hamilton. If they all leave together, things just might become salvageable...in about 5 years.
