More Clues to Manpower Shortage

  • You expect when police promise to follow-up on a case they actually will. But apparently, that doesn't always happen in Chicago. In Lakeview, five young women woke up on September 26th to find someone had cut a screen in their apartment and robbed them while they slept.

  • But they say 10 days went by and no detective ever called them, even though they called again to say they had information about the suspect.

  • Police spokesperson Roderick Drew says no fingerprints were found at the scene and because the Red Line station is under construction, there are no security cameras. He couldn't comment on the potential for bus cameras.

    Drew was asked about the 10-day response and if detectives have too many cases on their hands. He says no one will ever hear him or anyone else in the department say detectives have too much work.

    But in a statement, he said, "We're like any other industry, we have to make do with the resources on hand. Ideally the call would have been made sooner, if for no other reason but to check in and introduce themselves to the victim(s). But that does not mean the detectives care any less about the incident because no one was hurt."
Gee, do you think maybe the D-Unit is shorthanded? Do you think the entire Department is shorthanded? We've touched on this issue maybe a million times. Our readers have been warning everyone that the shortfalls are going to become evident in different ways for years now - a falling clearance rate, longer response times, ticket fall offs (not entirely because of a slowdown, but because everyone is humping from job to job all night), poor execution of technology, bullshit missions, a non-existent promotional track, RAP after RAP after RAP, etc.

The signs are all there - we've reached the tipping point and the abyss looms.

Shortshanks is playing a dangerous Russian roulette game with the low manpower on the police department. Citizens, wake up! Start holding this goofy Mayor accountable.

I am not just being a doom and gloom cop. It is getting increasingly difficult and dangerous. Worse things will be coming if Shortshanks does not get on the ball.

And you forgot to mention that the lieutenant is over his head, worked his whole career in patrol, has no clue what a detective is supposed to do, and is too busy with his REAL job to be bothered to learn.
His only worry is how many friends and relatives he can clout into the unit, so they can do nothing, too.

Now to compound the manpower shortage the city council passes a new ordinance whereby owners of barking dogs get $50.00 fines.

These citations will be issued by CPD and animal control officers.

Here is the best part, unless the offending canine is heard barking by the officer or animal control person firsthand, a citation can't be issued unless (3) other neighbor's or witnesses sign statements that they heard the dog barking.

SO HERE IS MY TAKE ON THIS. I WILL NEVER OBSERVE ANY BARKING DOGS. BUT WILL INSTEAD CONDUCT "KNOCK & TALKS" AT 2:00 AM, WAKING AT LEAST A 1/2 DOZEN NEIGHBORS..TO ASK IF ANY BARKING DOGS ARE DISRUPTING THEIR SLEEP! [EVIL LAUGHTER]

It will piss people off, I'll dodge job's while "holding myself down" for an hour, then I'll blame Alderman Mell and give them his home phone number.

this is so true, while in a rap which means literally nothing but important enought that citywide must make official notifications to the districts and MUST take a star & name that they made the notification.

officers wandering through the district looking for cars waiting literally hours to hit the street.

let's get a report of how many times each district is in rap daily and that will be a true indicator of how fucked this city is.

*how many reports are made by 311 bypassing 911.
*in caps beat meetings, citizens are told not to call police but put their community concerns into the computer which they are assured will be addressed by the district
*how many walk ins to the district because people called 911 and they got tired of waiting for a response...and we are talking about robberies, 4 car accidents are told to go in the station if no injuries...and dugan has dictated no manpower at the desk so people are lined up like there's a major macy sale

*at mars meetings, officer net strength for 25 districts (9th period) reflects ONLY 6726 OFFICERS...how many iod, medical, furlough, detailed?

*gang members, lifetime criminals know the odds for success is in their favor...even if caught, they only have to lodge a cr # against the officer, recant their stories which if you play it right can make you millions in this city.

the mayor and council know the true police manpower numbers...and for them to refuse CPD a timely contract, decent raises, cost of living, healthcare reflecting the nature of our job, etc...the fact that CPD can only sit on their hands to get a contract TRULY REFLECTS OUR TIMES, VERY NASTY, EVIL, AND FOREBODING.

Hey lighten up, and remember, you're talking about the Son's of Ireland at Area Three! With slightly more detectives than Area Four but only a fraction of the of homicides there is absolutely no excuse detectives weren't sent out when they got the handouts. Especially once a pattern began to emerge. We had a similar pattern in our district and the midnight '06 car grabbed the offender who was ultimately charged in six burglaries. But then of course those are two working coppers who will never see a merit promotion to detective! And of course we have to look at D Unit sergeants and lieutenants of whom the majority never passed a promotional examination-a problem not limited to 630. Of course they are all leadrers who just don't test well! The worst part is the real victims getting short shrift from play detectives. I've seen their two line supps. claiming they could not (would not) locate the victim. Sorry, it would not get past the sergeant in our Area. If you want to see it first hand visit Area Three during the investigation of a "heater" to see the meltdown. Area Three is clout in action.

That happens all too often.

~~ "We took the report but are waiting for the detectives to contact the victim and get a better description of the suspects."

~~ "The detectives haven't given us an update."

~~ "The victim got tired of waiting for the detectives and went home."

We thought the CAPS guys were just lowing us off and passing the buck off to the detectives. Maybe we'll have to rethink that.

The blame lays on any idiot cop who is still doing any work for this ungrateful mayor. The only reason why they have not hired more officers is because a lot of us continue to do more with less. THINK about it; if as the city you saw your employees do more work with less wouldn't you continue that same policy? Of course you would.

So the blame rests on us, NOT the city. We are the enablers.

He panicked talking about he be hybridizing the vice unit. WTF is that - crossbreeding? He said theres no gambling in chicago and no reason to have a special team. Some old timers were on saying eb just legalized gambling in chicago and hes nuts if he thinks bookmakers and mafia still ain't controlling the money in Chicago. Why didn't eb tell him he dumped the whole gambling team for no reason other than he wants his own people in vice to protect his perversion? Goudie missed asking why eb turned vice into a tact team going after his personal list of private sex parties. He filled the unit with loudmouth do nothing broads that worship him. But nobody can touch his no show folks of course. The lying dude is a sex maniac and somethings wrong on why he obsessed with vice and nobody else in ocd. Keep snooping Goudie you're on to something.

A BIG FU to Weis and Peterson for putting this fuck up in ocd. He is out of his league. Morale sucks big time and he fucked up the unit. Hope Jodi keeps getting embarrassed by this fool.

Just had the unfortunate experience of listening to another $10 reverend who is a former VL being interviewed on CLTV about youth violence. He claimed that it isn't a gang problem but a mixing of kids from different neighborhoods in schools causing the violence. The "reporter" asked why the should be a problem and he said because by mixing different neighborhoods you are mixing gang borders. So...it is a gang problem then. Of course the "reporter" didn't call him out on that. He then went on to say that he is a member of Cease Fire and then plugged that they needed more funds. In addition to the above BS he said that these kids need good paying jobs to deter them from selling drugs. I don't know about you guys but when I was in high school I worked a minimum wage job. I finished high school, went on to college, and then got a good paying job. So evidently, this scumbag wants the government to provide a job to each "honor student" paying roughly $1,000 a week. The government also needs to build a school in every 4 square block area. And finally, the government needs to provide free schooling, housing, health care, food, clothing, and the National Guard to escort the kids to school everyday. Is that asking to much?

The people in this city can't have it both ways.

The D-unit could go out and build a case against this offender and this same newspaper reporter would print up a story three years down the road asking how the police could arrest someone if there was no fingerprint evidence. And the citizens, they'd gobble it up.

The people in this city are not committed to justice. They don't give a fuck if their neighbor is the victim of a crime, they don't cooperate with police investigations, and they don't support the police when the police take action. They only care when they are the victim of a crime. Then, they suddenly can't believe that no one is helping them.

This city hasn't even begun to get what it deserves.

Off topic but interesting.

If you noticed that in the brand new stations they are sending people out to completely strip the gun lockers outside of the lockup for storing your guns. they are taking off the paint, cutting out and replacing all of the old locks with new ones and repainting them. Now dont you think this is a waste of money? these lockers work just fine and they are only a few years old. This is the interesting part. The company that is doing it may or may not be a company that a certain west side aldermans nephew ownes. so what you say... well, now you dig a little deeper and maybe you will find out how much this contract to replace simple locking mechanisims on gun lockers costs. 845,000!!! To replace locks!!!!! this simple task can be done by a building engineer in a half hour and they are paying a connected company 845 thousand dollars to do it!!! I dont want to out the alderman right now, but if some of you savy newspapers and figure it out it might be a decent story.

At our CAPS meetings increasing the police tell us:

~~ "We arrested the guy, but the detectives said it wasn't a good case."

~~ "We took the report but are waiting for the detectives to contact the victim and get a better description of the suspects."

~~ "The detectives haven't given us an update."

~~ "The victim got tired of waiting for the detectives and went home."

We thought the CAPS guys were just lowing us off and passing the buck off to the detectives. Maybe we'll have to rethink that.

I am a Detective John Q and a lot of what you hear is true but not for the reasons you may think. There has not been a detectives class made since Dec 2007. There have been lots of retirements and no Dets to replace them. It is not unusual for a Det to get 10+ handouts a day and that doesn't include jobs that come in during the tour of duty. I understand how you are frustrated and I agree as I am also a taxpayer in this city. It makes me sick to see how the Mayor is letting the Dept get run down.

You boys and girls dont know half they truth.

The CMO detectives handle 50% of all crimes violent, property, domestic, financial, and all other bullshit.

if they didnt detectives in the area would average about 600 cases a piece. Dont forget they have day off and vacations too.

Throw in the comical 48 rule which is really now a 12 hour rule.

The laughable you cant force people to be witness rule.

The My sgt's has no clue how to help a detective clear a case or assign other dicks to assist.

The obsolete technology:
computer that cant read security videos
lack of search engine to run background on badguys such as credit reports/ lexis nexus/ NICB

Investigating nonsense like domestic battery
phone threats
theft of cell phone
bouncing checks
youth crimes
hate crimes????
theft over 300 when was this amount updated!!! how about theft over 5k.

Dont feel bad either no one is going to look for your stolen Harley.

No one is going to ask for serial numbers to your laptop stolen out of your wifes car.

No one is going to canvass a city block when your son is punched in the face and his bike is stolen.

No one is going to lock up your goofy neighbor who beats his wife like a dog and keeps you up all night.

Heaven forbid someone in your family is killed those homicide detective are excellent but even they only have so many hours in the day.

And truth be told patrol stopped investigating anything about ten years ago. You know the rap THE DICKS WILL CALL YOU HAVE ALL YOUR SERIAL NUMBER READY.

Detectives work on a highly prioritized triage-type system, Murders first, then on down, in order of priorities. Since there are not enough Detectives, especially REAL Detectives, not the Youth Officers who Fatty cline made into Detectives, to kiss Daley's Ass, and MERIT [aka] Clouted - Dumb-Asses] detectives, the wait on property related crime is not a priority, especially under today's circumstances.

Especially once a pattern began to emerge. We had a similar pattern in our district and the midnight '06 car grabbed the offender who was ultimately charged in six burglaries. But then of course those are two working coppers who will never see a merit promotion to detective! And of course we have to look at D Unit sergeants and lieutenants of whom the majority never passed a promotional examination-a problem not limited to 630. Of course they are all leadrers who just don't test well! The worst part is the real victims getting short shrift from play detectives. I've seen their two line supps. claiming they could not (would not) locate the victim. Sorry, it would not get past the sergeant in our Area. If you want to see it first hand visit Area Three during the investigation of a "heater" to see the meltdown. Area Three is clout in action.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR AREAS MIXED UP, and be referring to Area 2, where about 98% of the Detectives are Irish, from "Little Ireland, aka Mt. Greenwood.
Area 3 is more like
"Little Poland".

SO HERE IS MY TAKE ON THIS. I WILL NEVER OBSERVE ANY BARKING DOGS. BUT WILL INSTEAD CONDUCT "KNOCK & TALKS" AT 2:00 AM, WAKING AT LEAST A 1/2 DOZEN NEIGHBORS..TO ASK IF ANY BARKING DOGS ARE DISRUPTING THEIR SLEEP! [EVIL LAUGHTER]

It will piss people off, I'll dodge job's while "holding myself down" for an hour, then I'll blame Alderman Mell and give them his home phone number.

IT'S A WIN-WIN FOR ME!

Fight At Fenger While Officials Discuss Violence
Activists Say Violence Against Students Spiked After School Plan Started



CHICAGO (CBS) U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan arrives at the Four Seasons Hotel, 120 E. Delaware Pl., for a discussion on combatting violence among Chicago youth.

President Barack Obama was so shocked by the deadly
beating of a Fenger High School student that he dispatched two members of his cabinet to address the problem.

But on the day Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan met with local officials to discuss youth violence, there was another fight at Fenger.

Doesn't anyone understand the scam with 10 hour days? It eliminates the three watch system and you do more work with less people! The city wants a major "exodus" of officers to retire and then replace fewer and fewer until you will all be working 10 hour days/nights as a one man car! Safety is what matters and the neither the city nor FOP cares about that! Anything the City or FOP agree to is bad for you! Advantage city all the time!

Informative story in the Reader about this.

http://www.chicagoreader.com/TheBlog/archives/2009/10/08/service-cuts

This article lists the number of CPD officers as 9791. That's a far cry from the 13,000 commonly referred to by the Mayor's Office.

10/08/2009 03:30:00 PM

The rest of those stats are below. Why do you have to lie? You know Det's, Sgt's, ET's, etc are counted in that 13000+ count. Yet you act like the 9791 number is the whole department. We might be 500 short, we might be 1,000 short; lying doesn't help your credibility or our cause. Nobody likes a cop that lies. Good luck with your 3 transaction.....1 bag dope cases. You're going to need it.

Many of the cuts raise service-delivery red flags:

* The police department now has 243 fewer police officers (leaving it with 9,791), 94 fewer detectives (1,118), 62 fewer field training officers (90), and 62 fewer crossing guards (862).

How do I get one of those 5 hour shifts from Captain Ryan on 3rd Watch in 019? I heard he is within his rights to assign a son and daughter of Ireland to those sweet jobs, work 5 and go home and it's no one's business either. It isn't in the contract so there can be no grievance.

I'm changing my name to Liam Shamus O'Shaughnessy and then I will suck up to good old Capt. Ryan, I hope that gets me one of those 5 hour work days.

Detectives work on a highly prioritized triage-type system, Murders first, then on down, in order of priorities. Since there are not enough Detectives, especially REAL Detectives, not the Youth Officers who Fatty cline made into Detectives, to kiss Daley's Ass, and MERIT [aka] Clouted - Dumb-Asses] detectives, the wait on property related crime is not a priority, especially under today's circumstances. This is not at all likely to ever chqnge, much less under an anti-police Mayor such as
Daley.

Relax tough guy, the only difference between you and those "youth dets" was a phone call. You are no better than them, one of the best violent dets I know was a youth det.
