How About Borrowing PO's
We seem to recall annual Christmas parties being thrown here and there over the holiday season. And we seem to recall most of the District and Unit personnel attend them. And we also seem to remember people being brought in from other Districts to help out.
So why the static on this fundraiser?
So why the static on this fundraiser?
- Talking to a couple guys from 007 midnights, it sounds like they are about to be screwed again by their bosses. I guess the watch commander gave a speech last night saying how there are "a lot" of slips in for 13NOV (to be off the night of the 12th) so people could attend the benefit at the Horseshoe Casino for PO Alex Valadez. The W/C went on to say how this isn't a factory and that the CPD is open 24/7/365, so therefore, not everyone can be off.
So let me get this straight: the guys who WORKED the watch with PO Valadez, many of whom saw him in his last moments, were: A) denied time off for his wake. B) denied time off for his funeral, and now, C) will be denied time off for his benefit. The first two (wake, funeral) have been verified. The watch had to work, go to the wake, go back to work, go to the funeral, then go back to work. NO courtesy was given to the officers. Now if denying people off for the benefit is true, Corky, LOOK OUT! This isn't a factory, true. Yes, it is a 24/7/365 operation. But, do factory workers watch their co-workers shot in the head in a ghetto and left to die? NO! I'm sure there are many PO's who would step in for a night and fill out the sheets so the members of the watch could attend the benefit. It happens for Christmas parties, why can't it happen twice (x-mas party, benefit) for these guys and gals because of awful circumstances? I know I would go to 007 and do it. I knew Alex, but the watch deserves first dibs.
It can be done. It's been done before for other watches and Districts and Units across the city for other reasons. Corky? You going to step up? Downtown? You want to show us you "have our backs?"

FUCK EM.
GO AWOL FOR A DAY CALL WHEN U GET HOME FROM THE EVENT TELL THEM U GOTZ DA FLU.
IF UR TEAM DOESNT BACK U U FIND 1 THAT WILL OR JUST DONT PLAY
as usual the balless D/C KC aint gonna step up!
I have a great spot in a unit that I actually worked my ass off to get. However, If asked I would volunteer to work 1st watch in 7 to help those guys out.
Blah,blah,blah, this isn't a factory, blah,blah,blah. Hey Cochise, GFY! I'd be more then happy to work in that shithole or anywhere else so the officers can pay respects for there fallen brother. Glad it was brought up on this site. This benefit is more important then any ass kissing christmas party, so I assume the matter should now be over with.
"This isn't a factory...."
It might as well be with the mass production and distribution over the years of various suck-holes, meritorious retards, and flat-out white shirt pussies that the CPD has generated.
Oh, let's not forget the EVENT# machine that the factory loves using. Seriously, what are they doing with all these event numbers? I heard they are being stored in a warehouse very similar to the one at the end of "The Raiders of the Lost Ark," movie.
Be safe everyone. Even you, Deputy D.
Corky you are one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever wear a star!!!! Even if this story isn't true the fact you suck is!!!!
Remember in 15 when you would let known gang members in your office to use the department's computer? Remember giving some of your buddies getting a heads up on search warrants?
Remember ordering officers not to shut down a party and then because of your ignorance/arrogance 4 people were shot?
How the hell does this person stay on the job? With all those, and I am sure many more, and your clout I am sure you will be promoted any day now.
Why don't u hook up with that moron Captain in 5, Jones, who refused to let people go to Alex's wake get together and open up an hot dog stand in Iran?
Get the list going. For this I'd go from working in my unit drive out to 007 for the midnight watch for free. Go to roll call, sit and stair at the W/C, get the keys and drive around. Bosses forget they are nothing more than "Patrolmen" in white shirts, many of them forget where in the hell they came from, or oh, maybe they were never "Patrolmen" to begin with. Who is this W/C?. Jodi, put some people with a set of nuts in positions to make decisions for the troops. This IS A POLICE DEPARTMENT, not a damn Fortune 500 corp. that we have to worry about stockholders. A P.O on midnights with 3 years on the job in 007 has more street smarts than Jodi. These are hard chargers in the ARMPIT of the city, at least take care of them, these PO'S are the future of this Dept.
HOLY CHRIST!
Common Sense evident in command ranks? Evidently not!!!!!
Ill do it. Where do I sign up?
I'd be more than happy to leave the friendly confines of the l/u that night to work in 007 to honor P.O. Valadez. Englewood can't be any worse today than it was in the early 90's when I was there. Sign me up.
Ask for volunteers, I would work it for a night
i work in 189, i bought a ticket, but i will work for any PO the day after the benefit, let me no when roll call is and i will fill in for you, and so will danny. remember JULY 16
fuck yeah it should happen, it happened for commander wedsters promotional party at the cork. I dont know if they borrowed p.o's but a lot of time due was given. I doubt many p.o's would care if they had to go to 007 for a night and help out for a worth cause.
ot - can anyone confirm the rumor that msf had to work in 007 lockup
Corky has once again proven that he is a complete and total tool and that he is out for himself and his g-thug buddies. Hey Corky, GFY.
I recall a certain "Captain" in 005who said, "If He (Alex) was so important to you then you should put in slips otherwise there is no need for anyone to attend his wake."
Who's the w/c? Your an ass w/c.
Absolutely shameles! If you're in charge there you make it happen for your PO's. Of course you borrow PO's and Sgt.'s and Lt's. If this is not in your universe of thinking as the person in charge then you are truly not where you should be. Stand up at roll call and ask for something you want them to do...chances are if you can't take care of them, they can't take care of you.
And why would ANYONE work for this Dickhead of a Watch Commander!
I would come in with all ZEROS!
No Tickets! No Arrests! What is he or HQ. going to do then?!
Spar the whole watch?! He must have been a student of the Daley school for assholes!
Hey Channel 2 news, you watching this moral problem unfold!
I work in 005, I'd gladly pitch in to work 007.
hearing a lot of stories about time due being denied all over the city.... maybe that is why their are 700-800 people on the medical everyday....
I now work north in a quiet spot, used to be south. I would be willing to work a night in 007 to give those guys an opportunity to go. There isnt shit happening where Im at anyway. It would be good for a few of the north side police to come with and see what a ghetto is all about
What a dipshit company man. Tell the saturation team or MSF or TRU to cover Englewood for the night and answer some of the bullshit calls. Most of them are codes anyway. If the Dept. would ever get its head out of its ass and fix the manpower we wouldn't even have this problem. The fire dept. gets by trading days. Alex was a friend of mine and I would be more than happy to work down there again for a night to help the watch out. FUCK THE W/C and any other boss that turns down time due. The COURTS ALREADY TOLD YOU YOUR WRONG. Shit I will even work a double for free if it means letting someone slip out for the benefit, but I am not a company man. Count it as my unpaid day off.
It's not Corky. It MLAS Asshole in Chief Don O'Neal. the City will never allow replacement workers for PO's. It means they COULD comply with FLSA and they will never ever do that.
I wear the mourning band on my star to remember the fallen officers and the death of this department.
I will drive around 007 for free so officers could attend this event.
"Corky" sounds like a real asshole.
---not a cop
Prove your point ladies and gentlemen and put your money where your mouth is! Have your WC's commit personnel and then call in the confirmations! How can it be denied? Now get to work!

Are you f*ing kidding me?
A P.O on DAYS with 3 WEEKS on the job in 016 has more street smarts than Jodi!!!
As a Boss, I agree with the WC who said "put in a slip" if its important to you to go. But then, I'd also see that the Watch was covered to let everyone go who wanted to go. Its only a matter of calling up other districts in the area and requesting a couple of volunteers from each.
As a Boss, I see guys all the time using wakes or funerals as an excuse to duck on company time. You demand to be paid for the least amount of "unnecessary" overtime but you continually want me to cover for you when you take a duck. I may want to let you go because you're a good guy, a hard worker, etc., but I have to protect myself too.
I know the 7th district on Afternoons has asked for volunteers from other districts to work that day so people can attend the benefit. People are willing to volunteer so they may attend.
I was in roll call when this was said. I enjoy working on the watch, but his comments made no sense. It was like he was trying to make everyone feel like shit for using TIME DUE. I think a lot of bosses forget what those two words mean.
"I have a great spot in a unit that I actually worked my ass off to get."
Me too.
You know 008 will always help our fellow Zone 6 brothers out. I know we are sending 4. This is awful though, I'm RDO but if means people from 007 can't attend Alex benefit, I'll work my RDO for free
just remember when this ''leader'' retires and they ask you to buy a ticket to his party.
This department has some of the absolute worst management on display 24/7. Promoting merit people because they know and are related to a current boss does not make them affective and productive management material. Many of these so called leaders that we have, have never even attended a leadership course or opened a book for that matter. Ignorance is no excuse yet we are led by those with zero accountability and experience, in 80 percent of the situations, and no matter the outcome we the blue shirts are left to fend for ourselves. jody you want respect then be a man, step up and do what is not only right but ethical and fair. The current leadership is driving this department into the ground not the men & women in blue. Yet it is easy to blame the the patrol division as we have been used multiple times as an excuse for poor management. mr jody look beyond your own ignorance and be honest. This city along with it's employees are better then that as I would think you are too. Would your Mother be proud of the way you and your management staff are treating the men and women who get it done and that are out there doing it? Again, be honest would she?

J-FED and the policy group has the answer. Special classes for the exempts. 7 Habits class, a leadership class and the PES class will make the exempts real leaders! Now the highly qualified policy group is developing a new leadership class for the exempts. One problem that they forget to consider. We do not have real leaders. Instead, we have clout leaders as evidence in 007. Leadership training will not make a leader. Then they have the balls to ask the commanders why morale is so low? Absolutely clueless!
I agree 100% those PO's should be there for there brother I would work but I work in a South Suburb and even though I work tac with Chicago a lot don't think they will let us run around 007 even though I know my guys would do it b/c of the situation. God Bless all who serve and proctect and there families and our soldiers.
Isnt MSF assigned to 007 every day? Put them in a beat car to cover for the ones who want time due. Or are they too good for that too. TRU has done it in the past for districts and I'm sure they would do it again if asked.
- 253
we work in another district that Alex worked in and were told that they w/c would try to borrow if too many people wanted to go. We were told to put our slips in early. There is even talk of a bus.
I'm off and would not mind working in 007 again just to allow some guys/gals a nite off for their comrade,I'll even do it for nada
I feel (cough, cough ) sick (sneez, sniffle) put me on the medical.
If 007 needs a sgt to work i M in
Sgt. Bryan Holy 2525
Whers's Dugan with "I have your backs" speech now. Just like I thought, he's as quiet as can be!
Publish his name and star#..
SCC
you need to have a link for the Wall of Shame list by district
let these messed up administrators know that us the majority rule!!!
Suburban newspapers publish names of thieves, robbers and crooks!!
We can do the same here!!!!
I'm willing towork that day in 007.
I'd rather do that than go to the Christmas "arm twisting" party...
ot - can anyone confirm the rumor that msf had to work in 007 lockup
---------------------
This is true Capt Calhoun ordered a Sgt from msf to put a PO in the Lockup and the SGT did so. The next day the Capt. was put in check by the bosses
OUR MAN DUGAN SHOULD DEFINITELY STEP UP TO THE PLATE ON THIS ONE. MY GUESS IS HE WON'T AND KEEP ALL TO WHAT WE HAVE KNOWN HIM TO DO. "BE A COMPANY MAN THROUGH AND THROUGH."
I'm glad there is no moral problem.
Even if this dick-head capt. is made to change his mind, not a single po from 007, let alone his watch, should buy a ticket to the xmas party.
Hey Keith, step up to the plate!
All Corky is interested in is if there is any gumbo served for dinner.
It ain't no rumor my brotha! MSF got pulled to work the 007 lockup playa. The young dude didn't have no time on the job, so he couldn't say no.
MSF ain't neva going to be like SOS playa. This shows why...
If you are being screwed by your bosses, then screw them.
STOP LOCKING PEOPLE UP!
If not enough of you have the balls to take a stand because you are too busy climbing over each other to get whatever perk is currently being offered, then why are you complaining to us?
Either fight or except defeat, but stop complaining to the masses of other coppers who are in the same position.
The solution to your problem is in your hands. There is nothing the rest of us can do for you. Deal with it or don't.
The decision is up to you.
I have a great spot in a unit that I actually worked my ass off to get. However, If asked I would volunteer to work 1st watch in 7 to help those guys out.
11/01/2009 12:13:00 AM
-------
You got that spot because you had a phone call. There was no other reason why you got that spot.
Stop fooling yourself.
I am currently on furlough and will volunteer to work that night for NO PAY if it means one more officer from midnites in 007 can attend this benefit.
If this is a possibility, someone please post the info.
You need to have the Warrior Mentality!!! Dugan and JPUD don't want to hear any excuses, they want productivity. Do more with less, JPUD, Dugan and the exempts don't want to hear anymore excuses or complaints about manpower and morale. Stop crying, Pussies!!!
Not suprising at all! This is the shit direction this department has been going for a long time. It's a ME ME ME department now brought on by TERRIBLE LEADERSHIP!!!!

100% true. Working in MSF I can tell you that the PO who went in just did as he was told. Fact is, is that boss' in MSF should have never let this happen. At least from what we're told is that we are to be on the streets, not working inside as releife for a watch. There is
prcocedure in place when a district is short handed. You pull a guy off a beat car, pull manpower from another district. But Corky (a captain) appearantly isn't aware of this, which has been in place for years. Just like when we're short inside, someone gets pulled in. And I imagine it's that way with any unit.
As a Watch Commander it's my responsibility to make it happen for these guys.and gals. However, SCC, have you seen the worksheets in any district lately? Particularly 1st watch? Things like this are going to be more frequent, not because the Watch Commander is being insensitive, but because the personnel just aren't out there. You can't go to the well if it's dry, too.
I am RDO and will work 007 voluntarily if Alex's friends and co workers can go. I didn't know Alex but I have been there and will happily watch the mopes for you. Put the word out.
Being that Alex worked in 022, I'm sure there'll be a big group from 022 going to the benefit. But to the 007th Dist W/C's, you still may want to take a look at getting 1st watch help from 022. On any given night they have traffic car(s) up and sometimes as many as SIX incident cars! 022's 1st watch has so many P.O.'s they're tripping over each other and there's usually not enough cars to go around.They're sometimes riding 4 deep. They have MORE than enough bodies to help out.
As a Boss, I agree with the WC who said "put in a slip" if its important to you to go. But then, I'd also see that the Watch was covered to let everyone go who wanted to go. Its only a matter of calling up other districts in the area and requesting a couple of volunteers from each.

I heard that too long time ago. It was petersen's idea. He gave the book to everyone and thinks it will make the difference. Ass.
The department used to be about us.
It has been "what bout me" for almost 15 years now.
As long as guys are offered "elite" status by joining a unit (something that was either earned but mostly by who you knew) by just filling out a par form or online app like a freakin job at mcdonalds, we are doomed.
We have to stick together, the "blue flu" is not some urban legend, it was used against w/c's,d/c's,sgts.,anybody who thought we needed mgt than the other way around.
We are all blue shirts
We were once a force to be reckoned with.

Well you can look it at one or two ways....
1. Pro-VICELORD - I believe was his connections as he kicked arrest reports as W/C for NO PROBABLE CAUSE (based on his own opinion mind you and not the facts of the narrative)and he would kick charges down(Delivery of Controlled Substance 570/401 to Possession 570/402) thus givng DUDE a lower bond and an out at COUNTY or save dude a TRUE BILL SGJ indictment or to help a brother out possibly to get a No PROBABLE CAUSE from the branch judge and get the case tossed before trial.
Sidenote-ASA's would just add the charge at the P/C hearing and ask WHY he would do this....???
Go FIGURE!
2. Pro-Police- Is that crickets chirping I hear?
Nice guy though..

I don't normally comment here but my god, are you a Jag. If you consider a wake or a funeral a duck then you have serious issues. You attitude is why Blue shirts have no respect for most bosses these days. You act like the time or OT is coming out of your pocket.
fuck yeah it should happen, it happened for commander wedsters promotional party at the cork. I dont know if they borrowed p.o's but a lot of time due was given.
And look at what a waste her appt. has turned out to be, hiding out now in Tobias's office. Maybe She'll refund the cost of those tix.
What a piece of shit. The funny thing is, his younger brother is walking in his foot steps. Watch out 005, you have one amoungst your 3rd watch. Keep an eye in the back of your head!!!!!!

Sorry you guys have to deal with an asshole boss at such a hard time.
I know this might sound stupid, but you will be stronger men and women because if this asshole.
Think about it, if you can handle being abused by this jagoff at a time like this.....you, my fellow officers, can handle anything.
Fuck you Corky whomever you are!!
Really, fuck you.
Masters.
Wouldn't it be nice if we, slowly in the next week, went over to the 007th district and personally let the W/C know that we are willing to work so that the watch may attend his benefit. That's the least we can do. I'm an old timer and I do recall the "helping each other out" when other districts needed to fill some of the cars for Christmas parties, it happened all the time. But then again that's when we had camaraderie. How about it?
I work in 024 days. I will burn a personal day, making myself eligible to work midnights in 007 on that day, with proper notice. 18776
As I have stated before, we are the LAUGHINGSTOCK of Law Enforcement in America. Things are the way they are now because of 1 simple reason: Poor Leadership. If it sucks at the top it only gets worse as you go down. I'm sorry but it's the truth. I used to enjoy this job. I actually liked coming to work. I was surrounded by a great core of coppers and my bossess were actually pretty good. That was on the west side. Now we are all gone, I'm surrounded by a group of non-motivated unknowledgeable hacks who I wouldnt trust to protect my worst friend. Worse yet, is that the supervisory ranks are absolutely horrible. A majority of them can't make a command decision if it depended on their life. Why? Because they were never the police to begin with. What the hell has happened? The good times are gone and let's face it, it's never going to get better. Even when this Moron fed leaves it will still suck. We will still have a mayor who HATES our guts. We will still have aldermen who don't respect us or our job. And we will still have a majoriy of these meritoriously promoted hacks running this once proud department. I wish I could leave but its too late. I wish I wouldve tried when I was younger because I hate it. Im stuck in a quagmire and am getting tired of going to interviews for units and having to be asked "who do I know?" Hey asshole, I dont know anybody but I bet I'm more qualified than 90% of the retards you have here now. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. As it is I'll go back to my quiet spot and try to do as little as possible unless my entire north side career partner wants to lock some pissers up! Then I'll feel like the police again!!!!
Hey Boss, this ain't a Factory, but YOU should work in a Factory, not here, Asshole....
fuck yeah it should happen, it happened for commander wedsters promotional party at the cork. I dont know if they borrowed p.o's but a lot of time due was given. I doubt many p.o's would care if they had to go to 007 for a night and help out for a worth cause.

Plenty of "moral" problems throughout the 007th, but it's the morale problems that are bothersome.

I will be happy to work in 007 for the night!
Just an idea: Assign the Operation Safe City guys there. They'll have 44 officers on the roster. Why not? It's only one night.

It's happened where I work but I gotta say, if you wait until the night before to ask, you shouldn't be surprised if the answer is no. Especially if you knew about something ahead of time and it was important to you. Weddings, birthdays, sporting events, concerts, holidays. The night before is NOT the time to ask for it off.
If you want to know who the guy is go to alpha star query. Type in 007 for district and title code 9175. This should give you the answer.
I cannot work afternoons that day, but I sure will work midnights. I am off on that friday. I am going to call that W/C.
A Sgt.
I'm from 008 too...and I'm in... You guys in 07 always look out for us.
As a WC itwould be easy to make it happen. You have to want to because you know it is. Unfortunately there are way to many bosses who don't give a shit. This is apparently on eof them.
I would do it for free, no questions asked, if allowed to.

Captain stay off our blog,start your own ok kid?
Start a fucking list!!! I WANT to work that night in 007 ... and I WON'T put in a slip for any time (I work 2nd watch), but in honor of P.O. Valadez I'll gladly - excuse me PROUDLY! go back to 1st watch and let the real "Blue shirts" in 007 attend the benefit.
Lit off topic... Can you please post information of where we can make donations for Ofc. Valadez? (for those of us who can't make it to the casino)
Its almost Christmas, you know.

Is there a difference?
To all those calling Don Oneil an idiot for his decisions as main guru at MLAS, please be aware Don is a courageous guy.
When he took a header off his garage roof, he sat there and stayed on the Medical for an entire year.
Thats my kind of boss.

Hey you stupid fuck, the WC is referring to worthless asswipes lying about going to a wake, funeral, or the ubiquitous family emergency to take a duck. Burn the slip loser.
Hell I'm retired, I'll dust off my wheel gun and do 8 in 7 for the cause.

You sir are in the same class as the Jag Boss. If he has a problem with a PO deal with it. Dont screw the whole watch and have the nerve to tell someone to burn a slip to attend a PO's funeral. I'm sure he never atttended a funeral while working w/o fropping a slip. As far as I'm concerned the only thing that can burn around here is you and the Jag boss.
The truth of the matter is that Corky and his "crew" think it is ok to treat the working coppers in 007 without respect. Let's be honest here, it is a well known fact that the "cadillac lounge" exists, yet he is still allowed to wear the star.....too much power is given to certain POs on that watch.You know it's bad when POs are deciding whether or not another PO and/or sgt can have a night off. POs are denied time due in 007 and others are intentionally left off the sheets the night before to show these POs that there isn't enough manpower but then these POs are suddenly remembered on the next tour and ooops I guess you could've had the day off but I didn't realize that so and so was actually working until now.blah blah blah What a joke. Guys work theirs asses off for a w/c that wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire. This thing with the benefit is just the tip of the iceberg...this goes on constantly and yet no one can leave. I know that manpower is an issue everywhere but realistly if you have enough cars on 1st watch for 06 cars and "mall" cars for malls that aren't even open...then you are not really short handed as in the case of 007 1st watch. Why should coppers be "punished" simply because they are assigned to 007?!?!
I'll do it for free. Not a problem.
---------
FREE!?!?
You'll do it for free?
You'll work for the wonderful citizens of 007 for free?
You'll work for this wonderful city for free?
You'll do it for free because of all the wonderful things the citizens, particularly the citizens in Englewood, have done for us?
As far as I'm concerned, all the 007 coppers should go on the medical and let that shithole burn down while they're gone.
I'll work it!!
I'm on furlough Ill cover, where do I sign-up?
First off, if a copper from MSF was told by Corky to work the lock up I would tell him that I need to get in touch with my Sgt. Then the Sgt calls his W/C who in turn calls Commander Rousell, Commander Rousell then puts the brakes on the whole thing.
as far as working in the 7th district the night of the party, it can be done, MSF & TRU are the police and can handle it for 1 night. Back in the old SOS we would work in 25 when they had thier x-mas party assisting the cars that we left. it's no big deal, the bosses just have to ask and these things get done, but when you have an asshole boss in the district, Fuck him, but then you Fuck the men and women whom we don't want to hurt, the depressing thing is when you have an asshole W/C in a district it seems like the commander of that district is afraid to address the asshole even the area deputy is afraid of assholes.
"...the depressing thing is when you have an asshole W/C in a district it seems like the commander of that district is afraid to address the asshole even the area deputy is afraid of assholes."
TRU dat. We in Near North know first hand love is thicker than water.

Easy my friend, I will do it so that those officers can go and help Alex's family. I knew him too, but let those officers from 007 go. Every once in a while a chance comes along for us to learn about brotherhood. This is one of those times. I'm pretty sure that you were being facetious anyway.
forever blue
to demonstrate what brotherhood is about.
Hell, I'll volunteer to work 8 in the 'Wood. Been there before, be there again.
