$1 Million - and More?
One of the amusing things about being the police is how some people treat you like you aren't even there. If they're in a car, they stop 10 feet before the line, they signal lane changes a block away, they pause at green lights. They aren't ignorant of your presence - they're trying to be nonchalant.
But sometimes, people really don't see you, don't think you have ears, or maybe they don't care if you overhear something they figure you must already know because, hell, you're a cop, you know everything already.
First, you have Sneed's column Tuesday:

First, you have Sneed's column Tuesday:
- Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez is seeking to raise the $250,000 bail of Sgt. Pallohusky to $1 million "because it's thought Pallohusky, who was a big gambler, stole a lot more money than the original report of $600,000," said a source.
- Sneed is told 38 "hefty-sized" trash bags filled with financial documents were seized indicating the thefts "may have exceeded $1 million," the source added.
Coincidentally, a cop is on an upper floor of 26/Cal after reading this very article. Two individuals in suits are in the elevator with him chatting about the "nine years worth of Time Due slips seized at Pallohusky's home." They see the cop with a slip and joke, "You better make sure you turn that in."
Obviously, they were a little ignorant of the fact that you always turn in OT slips. But one has to wonder about the "nine years" worth of slips seized by the State. This is getting uglier by the minute.

I call bullshit on the little time due slip anecdote.
Corruption, you say?! In Cook County?! Sir, surely your post is in jest...
God Bless the CPD and nobody else.

The good Sergeant should've bought an industrial shredder with some of that million dollars.

BULLSHIT!
Independent auditors at this point state not a dollar is missing from the union.. perhaps other charges are in order but not "theft".
Hey SCC. This should be good for a laugh. Post the police sketch on the blog. LOL!
Worst Police Sketch Ever
It is being compared to the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz" and amazingly has worked to catch a killer by Bolivian police.
Police were able to use the image (above) to help track down two people involved in the murder of a taxi driver from the city of Santa Cruz, who was stabbed 11 times and set on fire in March.
The image now appears to have taken on a life of its own - The Daily Mail reports that the photo is now being used by media sites to block out the face of the suspect, (below) who cannot be identified by law.

Hey if that's it they have nothing. It's his responsibility to turn those slips in. Unless they are all his of course!

Thank goodness for that of course you probably couldn't handle the TRUTH!
are you kidding me. c'mon. this is a bit far fetched. jp is a bit to smart for that. i hope he beats this bs case and sues the crap out of the asa's office, the city, and the supt. the mayor must really have a bug up his ass for him. next thing the mayor will do is try to get ants charged with making hills without permits on his sidewalks. fuck you mayor dick.

Wait until the notebooks full of prostitute information start coming out. He kept ledgers of every "lady" he patronized in Vegas and more than a few checks were written to those of "questionable virtue" of the local population. Anita has the full press on this one.
Remember this is a publicly viewed site my friend.
======
Don't you read the papers? Anita has everything including 9 years worth of slips. It's all going to be public knowledge if it isn't already.
This is just plain embarrasing!
If that is true, who's names were on the slips?
I do not think the real story will ever be told. I am still waiting for the investigation into teh suicide of Scott to be revealed. I would like to know when that handgun was purchased and if the city registration was backdated to comply with the law, as I have heard others have been?
Do you think for a minute those school board members are going to get the same treatment as the Sgt. there stealing with those credit cards according to the news media and Alvarez will let them off SCOTT free.
There are scandals popping up everywhere now and the States Attorneys Office will soon have their own too.
Is it true he had over 65 bank accounts? The average is two, checking a savings if your lucky in todays market.

Hear, hear! The sooner JP sues the crap out of the ASA's office, the city, Ronald McDonald, etc., the sooner we'll all be able to get back to our regular Vega$ junkets.
Not a dollar is missing? I'm sure the detectives that investigated this case and the ASA that approved felony charges did so based on nothing right? He's a victim not an offender. He will be cleared of all these made up charges and sue everyone, then it will fun fun fun in Vegas Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey ace, where have you been. this has already been reported. He bought the gun in 1982, prior to the law going into effect, and has kept the registration up to date until a few years ago when he stopped renewing it. So all he was in violation of was a city ordinance charge. Just like so many others in this city, including some of our brothers and sisters. So no Mr. Expert, there wioll be no backdating, covering up, etc. It is already OLD news. Now crawl back under your rock.
off topic -
All of our stars & families, have a very Happy & safe Thanksgiving Day!
Please be extra safe out here. Many getting hurt...
Safety is priority
How would it ever be the officer/detective's fault if the Sgt. did not turn in his time due slip?
I filled out a slip. I gave it to my boss. He did with it what he did with it.
Case closed.
Why isn't the lawyer that JP picked for everyone else representing him now?
What was the fee arrangement with that lawyer, JP?
Don't risk your credibility over this one, SCC. It's going to get even worse.

Ok Lt. Kaffee. All I meant was this must be department shit and was hoping someone would explain it.
As an observer though and SCC supporter it's pretty sad to watch you guys getting it from all sides. If it's not the Mayor, it's the City Council, the media and now this asshole with his time due slips under his bed, whatever that means.
BTW. Hope everyone has a safe Thanksgiving.
---not a cop
Getting the impression that there are a lot of trolls on this site recently.
And what were these slips for? A duck or two? This has nothing to do with his arrest. Wake up morons! Any other slips would have been turned in!
I hate to be a name caller, like so many on this blog that do not agree with or like what others say, but the derogatory, little boy moran with the brain of a pea who called me ace and told me to crawl under my rock, not necessary dude! This is a discussion. Just because I might not be up on some things as well as you, no need for the name calling! And, I do not believe anything that might be said by the police department on the purchase date. I do believe, the trace done by ATF, However. Don't forget, back in 1992, the female police sergeant was accused of backdating a gun registration for her son. She was allowed to retire, but only after she was promoted. The rumor had it she backdated many more registrations. The ASA refused to prosecute. So, my response to you, have a colonoscopy and see if your head is up your ass!
Do you think for a minute those school board members are going to get the same treatment as the Sgt. there stealing with those credit cards according to the news media and Alvarez will let them off SCOTT free.

I'm confused by your post: so it was OK for JP to steal HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF OUR MONEY because he was a cop? Or was it because he was a Merit promotion to Sgt, another one of the many of Fat Phil's great picks who turned out dirty? Scott has nothing to do with this scumbag. Why even mention his name in relation to this latest debacle?
No excuse for iad rats destroying Mary's house when she wasn't there. Cowards.
If not a dollar is missing, then why did Chase Bank which held the PABA account make the call to the authorities? Why did Financial Crimes search his two homas and Sergeant's Association offices? Questions for now, answers come later.
O.T. Does the mayor get off selecting people who do not have experience in the type and volume of work they are hired to do? This sounds like credentials of our leader too!
"Daley named George Arteaga -- recently the vice president of human resources for CompuSystems Inc., a Broadview-based trade-show registration contractor with 220 employees -- to oversee the personnel decisions for the city's work force of more than 33,000."

The sergeant/lieutenant you refer to may be collecting a pension, but she did not 'retire' she was FIRED!
Only a felony conviction can relieve you of your pension. She was not convicted of a felony but was FIRED by the police board.
A fourth major convention has decided to leave Chicago.
The International Dairy Food Association will be held elsewhere.
Chicago economy hemorrhaging? Nah!
Maybe we can pull the Adult Video Network convention back from Vegas.
The award for the best triple penetration scene is a real toss-up among five nominees.
Not a police officer or media/pls understand that following questions are in earnest:
How do you prove you worked overtime/or double time over the course of a career with CPD?
Do you leave it up to the individual at the station whom you turn your slips in to?
Or do you keep copies at home of your overtime slips, for years, year after year, as they accumulate towards an early retirement?
Especially if you work mostly overtime violent crimes/homicide detective sergeant hours i.e. double hours?
Do you maybe keep originals/ submit copies to substantiate hours/correct pay/credit towards retirement/pension? Or vice versa?
Just curious how you support/document your hours for retirement/pension purposes in this scenario?
Most likely, in that particular division (homicide), don't extra hours on duty add up quickly?
Do you accumulate almost double the hours than a nine to fiver as you investigate homicides?
Do you trust/leave it up to powers that be to keep accurate records for you?
Or do officers keep personal records/copies at home in addition to those at the station?
What type of time slips exactly did Alvarez find? Were they copies? Originals? Personal documentation? Blanks? If blanks, could they be used to cheat/add overtime hours? Is that the implication?
Respectful appreciation for any clarification.

Being fired does not allow you to take a pension. Your contributions are refunded. Hence, it is wiser to pull the pin before, and rather than, being fired.

Its called a search warrant, fool. Get educated on police work.

You have got to be kidding. It's called a crime, sweetheart.
Please remind me to check the box that says "duck" when i request two hours on the end.
Well lucky for us citizens this guy wasn't just a "regular" criminal, because Alvarez might have let it go unprosecuted.
If anyone thinks that John was a smart man they should think again. I have known this guy for approx. 20 years and he has not impressed me in any way. In fact, I have witnessed some real stupid shit on his part but this is one persons observation. If he messed with the money in any way at all then fuck him.
I hate to be a name caller, like so many on this blog that do not agree with or like what others say, but the derogatory, little boy moran with the brain of a pea who called me ace and told me to crawl under my rock, not necessary dude!
Easy now. Go take your meds and go back to sleep!

Oh yea, then who took the money?
11/25/2009 11:06:00 PM
SORRY TROLL INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER!!
Other charges are in order....yeah, like not passing some bucks up the food chain.
Some scared to death company man wrote...Being fired does not allow you to take a pension. Your contributions are refunded. Hence, it is wiser to pull the pin before, and rather than, being fired.
Wrong again shakey. How do you think Burge has been living all these years. In Illinois you have to be convicted of a felony. He collects his commanders pension.That is all.
"Being fired does not allow you to take a pension. Your contributions are refunded. Hence, it is wiser to pull the pin before, and rather than, being fired."
Think about you idiot. The Gen Orders are at least 8 ft high if you stacked them up. Every minute every cop is in violation of something. If that was the case then everybody that had got near a pension would be run up on charges and served up to the crooked police board to save the city the pension money. (or is this what Jody was brought in to try to do)???????????
JUST COURIOUS:
IF...the two Sgt.'s Made money on this money they used to "flip" houses for any profit and or get loans to do other investments that made money.....ARE WE (SGT.'s )elligible to share in those profits after the are seized and re-allocated?
In other words IF they used OUR money to profit can we be re-imbursed on the gains as opposed to putting all profits and proven funds back into some PBPA savings account?
Just asking
Current Sgt.
Jon Burge was not fired, he resigned to take a pension (retired). If you are fired and/or convicted of a felony arising from your duties as a PO, you lose the pension, and the money with interest is refunded. Whoever said it is correct, if it looks bad retire, assuming you have the time and age, before they fire you.
