Someone Explain This
Please?
In the newly passed 2010 Budget, there is a section dedicated to the Police Department. Reading it is boring, but some things just jump out at you and require questions to be asked or comments to be made. Here's one:
Line item #0025. Vacation Relief. $1,444,000.
It never appeared in the 2008 budget. It wasn't in the 2009 budget. It didn't even show up in the 2009 revision. But there it is in 2010. What the heck is "Vacation Relief?" Especially in these harsh economic times, $1.4 million?
On a positive note, it's good to see them cut "Outside Graphic Arts Services" (Line #0150 - $1,000) and "Pagers" (Line #0186 - $74,500). We guess the Blackberries finally phased out the pager.

whats a pager?
"Vacation Relief?"
I think it’s when the Commander takes his “Company Sponsored Vacation”. The Commander isn’t getting paid. Well, the Senior W/C (Usually a Captain) gets “Commander” Pay, and the Lt would be getting “W/C” pay. Not a whole lot of savings there..... If I was a Commander, I’d be pissed for selling my soul, and getting shafted. But If I were a Capt, or a Lt. I’d be real happy getting all that overtime!
Hit me on my beepa, yo!!!
i want to know why they have to advertise. don't people allready know how to get a hold of us?
Why are all these redundant exempt positions in the budget? Examples -ADS and Commander at the Academy, 6Deputy Chiefs in Patrol, Chief and Commander IAD, etc. The CPD is so top heavy, it is disgusting! Lets put more POs on the street. I am not advocating anyone's position get taken, but through attrition get rid of some of these exempt spots. We have to many Chiefs and not enough indians (no poon intended).
they forgot line item # 0190--- retro payout 200,000,000.00--- do you really think that daley has set up a contingency fund for this liability.... he is going to beat us up in the media after arbitrator awards a raise---
OT:
In case you missed it. One of the arrested terrorists from the attacks in Mumbai India is from Shitcago. That is the second terrorist now with ties to Shitcago that has either pulled off an attack or attempted an attack. If this guy was found to have conducted surveillance on 5 targets in Mumbai, how many targets do you think he gathered intelligence on here in Shitcago? God I hope the F.B.I, N.S.A, and C.I.A. have their shit straight cuz I'm not holding my breath on the J.T.T.F. of our dept. Those clout babies love their do nothing "spot". Be careful boys and girls.....it's not IF, it's WHEN!
Tuition reimbersment reduced signifigantly
is the 15.6 million our step raises or part of the contract? or both factored in? line#1
Maybe instead of hiring they will be paying overtime for P.O's to cover people on vaction
Are "Mobile Commumications Services" the Blackberries? Go back to pagers, way less money
OT_____Jody Weis rings a salvation army kettle outside Macy's Department Store.
Does this guy think he is the DR. OZ of law enforcement or some kind of local celebrity??? This guy thinks he IS running for mayor and is super twisted when it comes to mugging for any camera or a sound bite. Thank god the media woke up and didn't jump on his latest taylor made crime stats. I hope Chicago at large isn't buying this charade. He has brought devastation and demoralization to the CPD ranks and his policies have cost actual police lives and citizens lives. FREE COZZI and Wake up Chicago!!!!
I love the salvation army tho.
What about the line item of the tuition dropping 3.5 million dollars. I can see a little drop with the city saying there are fewer offficers on the books. But a drop of a little unders 30% of the total? Is this a slow phase out of the program?
Must be for young Patrick...vacation relief.
Money spent to cover his little fat ass while he is on vacation in Russia.
I'm surprised about the pagers, I was sure that Dick had a 75 year rental agreement for those.
Dont forget teh specific number of officers they are saying we have and are budgeted for, I believe its in teh high 15,000 range. Daley wheres the money, are we 3000 thousand plus short?
Why is the uniform allowance less $800,000 from the previous year? Does they mean they are budgeting for around 400 less police officers next year??
Why is it that the lines Duty Availability #22 and Uniform Allowance #91 have gone down since 2008? Just like the # of coppers on the street. There is a hidden line you cant see, the number of Reverends is up 10,000%.
Wha about line 151 - Under Contractual Service - Publications $497,920.?
Daley's summer home in IN needs a new roof, a pool, and extra CPD security
It would be nice to see what the "actual" $$ spent was. Normally when doing the revised portion of the budget you adjust for what has actually been spent.
So with all the retirees this year and hardly any new hires, the salary and wages (#0005) have not changed?
Where did all the money go?
The Department budgetted for overtime resulting from manpower shortages that will be even greater during those periods when more officers take their furloughs.
I love you idiots who write things like. "When the press, feds or voters find out short shanks is in big trouble" The truth is fools all 3 know and have always known. This is da maya's world. Even if he quit tomorrow who do think is going to be elected next? This city is the next Detroit get out ASAP. And to all you its going to happen here Terrorist dorks, why would terrorist attack America now when America is already being destroyed from D.C. Grow up children.
Did anyone notice they entirely cut the canola oil funds for burger queens French fry deep fryer due to her retirement?
Only hundreds of detectives short. Is there a detectives class in 2010 or not?

----------------------------------
That is a shame ,since you obviously need the education.
The Budget is a sham, more money spent for outher City Departments, less for the PD. No cutback of all City services, just money for the P.D.
Maybe it's money for Bobby Vanecko

.........maybe St. Xavier isn't getting the big bucks anymore through patron Maggie Daley. Xavier's programs w/ the city are because Mrs. Mayor is really tight with the nuns that run the place. I'm sure other colleges/universities haven't been getting that plum treatment.
I'm not an accountant but can someone explain line 30? Less savings from unpaid time off sounds a lot like unpaid furlough days. Looks to me like there is some underhanded stuff going on...

Greg Bella says we are short approximately 591 officers, not 3000. Read the Nov. Newsletter.

New Obama economic plan: 'spend our way out' of downturn.
WTF is this guy smoking?
To 20 and out-You r so right. If we the citizens have to rely on anyone from the JTTF to actually gather intelligence and act upon it then we have big problems. Cab drivers only have so much information. There is only one decent copper in that whole unit. Best of luck to the fine citizens of Chicago.
Just give us our raise. Everything has gone up but my damn pay!
Waste Disposal Services $28,000 ?

Hell, I'll just take all the garbage with me in a squad car each night on 1st watch, drive down to Burnham and throw the shit out da window.
a pager?
Talk about "cut and paste" . . . these assholes have been cutting and pasting the same shit for 20 years.
0151: Publications and Reproduction - In-House Services = $497,920
Depositions and associated legal fees for 5th floor duty-related paternity liabilities? Seems a little low...
I wish you guys would stop insinuating that the retro pay is some sort of bonus. If the city give us the raises that were due us for 07 forward, that money is part of the salary that we should have received. For the city not to give it to us is comparative to us not getting the raise the arbitrator outlines. How can we not get retro?

Well I am advocating taking someones position. We are way top heavy with incompetence. Name me one boss past commander that is competent. If you find two I would be surprised. Most are quadruple merit promotees that have never accomplished anything on this job other than kissing ass or being related to someone.
Anyone one else notice that salaries have dropped by 27 million since 2008? so how many people are we really short?
I agree with 06:47. I believe the Dept will throw a bone to the clouted babies and rehire POs from units like MFS, TRU, HQ, etc. on their RDOs to augment shortages in district law enforcment.
Similary to the unlimited overtime enjoyed by SWAT jags.
Take a look at senior service officers in the budget.
Daley's claiming he's going to pay 25 senior service officers 43K a year.
Exacly who on this job makes that kind of money other than some kid with less than a year on?
When the Commanders take a "day", they put the Blackberries on auto answer and that's it. No Cpts or Lts get the bump in pay.

CHICAGO IS LOADED WITH SLEEPER TERRORIST CELLS AND WEAPONS. IT IS BEING KEPT HUSH, HUSH BY THE CORRUPT AGENTS AND LIB-COMMIE CHICAGO NEWS-MEDIA. THE LIBERALS ARE ON "tHEIR" SIDE , NOT OURS. THEY ARE OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE LIB-COMMIES, AND ARE Muslim and oBAMMA-666 SYMPATHIZERS.
I noticed someone state that Chicago isn't a terrorist target. Wake up,try driving around the Northside in the 24th Dist. In Mumbai it took 10 people to hold a city hostage and kill 150 people,2 of their cell live in 024. How many are here waiting to gridlock the hometown of the President? You're mindset sounds like it's time to move out of your parents basement and think about the real world "Hair-Gel Bro"!!
"THE LIBERALS ARE ON 'tHEIR' SIDE , NOT OURS. THEY ARE OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE LIB-COMMIES, AND ARE Muslim and oBAMMA-666 SYMPATHIZERS."
Easy Francis. If the cigar you're chomping is attached to another human being, don't put it in your mouth.

CORRECTION!!!!
That Estate is in New Buffalo, Michigan, and he saves a Ton of Money by having his Security Detail do all the Labor while they are Guarding the Palace! (on the Clock of course).
It's for selling back comp time.

It know ones fault but your own. You work these side jobs, CHA, CTA, Safe City, and you do absolutely nothing. Of course you brag about the fact you are making time and 1/2 and spending more time hiding than working. The city gives you an opportunity to make money and you still dog it. The ones working, for the most part, are TRU, MSF, Gangs, so don't be surprised if the city just gives it to them.
Are "Mobile Commumications Services" the Blackberries? Go back to pagers, way less money
Mobilc Communications Services are the fees we pay for the pdts to access iclear through verizon. Blackberries are another line item and cost over $700,000 a year
WoW!! A thirty five (35) percent decrease in this proposed city budget for 2010. From $10 mil to $6.5 mil. Whereas, F.O.P.'s proposal for our new contract states "City Council to appropriate annual budget to provide sufficient amount for each fiscal year with an increment of no less than 10% than the previous year." Looks like Daley and the Alderscum are really trying to dumb us down!! Better get your degree soon before they leave all funding out in 2011!!! The city will get theirs first since their budget will get rubber stamp ratified way before the police contract is settled. I thought they wanted educated police?? I guess not!!

The fact is, the economy is consumer-driven. If the consumer doesn't spend, the economy languishes. Those with secure incomes (you know, like police) are not spending and those who are without incomes can't spend.

Exactly, so now the city is basically admitting they do not plan to hire new officers to replace the retirees.
"How can we not get retro?" Very simple - the arbitrator doesn't award any raises for the period of time prior to the decision.

Wrong.
The contract expired on June 30, 2007. Any terms the arbitrator awards will be retroactive to July 1, 2007. The arbitrator might or might not award an increase in salary to that date like in past contracts.
