Satellite Office?
Band-aids again. This from an e-mail:
- I just got word that there is going to be a satellite office for the 8th District operating out of a library somewhere in the District (really bad idea). I really don't have any other information at this time regarding this, but I wanted to give you a heads up. Maybe someone from 8 can give us the lowdown because it's supposed to open up 03 Feb and be operational starting the 2nd Period (04 Feb). I'm assuming it will be only for taking reports to take slack off the beat guys that are so shorthanded there (and everywhere else).
Isn't it about time to redraw the 008 District? It's too big to effectively police and this "satellite" doesn't do anything except stretch thin manpower even thinner.

City of Chicago truck drivers consider strike vote
January 22, 2010 10:43 PM | No Comments
About 2,000 City of Chicago truck drivers plan a vote next week which might authorize a strike that could cripple such vital city services as snow removal, garbage collection and airport operations.
The drivers say the action is in protest against Mayor Richard M. Daley's decision to reduce their hours.
Daley wants to move O'Hare and Midway Airport snow removal drivers from a guaranteed, eight-hour work day to just two hours on days without snow.
Local Teamsters union officials say Daley is punishing the union for rejecting his demand for furlough days and comp time instead of cash overtime.
Chicago Law Department spokeswoman Jennifer Hoyle insists the Teamsters' contract specifically prohibits them from striking.
Satellite offices are not new. 007 has had one for a while at 69th and Ashland, in between in between the Currency Exchange and Fat Albert's.
Just wait until the retirements and the emerging scandals hit. The CPD will literally be paralyzed.
This is no joke! PO's and citizens lives are at stake.
Ground Control Calling Major Tom!
The CPD is out of orbit and getting ready to burnup.
It is going into the clearing library at 63rd place and narragansett,big secret not anymore! Just exactly what will it contain? bosses? sleeping quarters?
I hope the Teamsters strike and that a monstrous blizzard hits Chicago.
Bye bye Richie!
Anything to avoid the truth, the CPD is short 2,000+ police officers!
How many more PO's have to die or get seriously injured before we take action on the manpower crisis?
We need a Police Wives Assosciation
It shouldn't stretch manpower resources if they assign some of the walking wounded and other POWs from call-back over there to do the reports.
The Teamsters should have staged their strike while the 2016 Olympic Bid was in progress to maximize media attention.
"Daley the Prick" blames everything on the working man and nothing on his corruption machine.
The 'Satellite' location has long been a rumor in Garfield Ridge. Last year it was supposed to be going into a closed Dominic's store on Archer Ave. The year before it was going into a closed truck terminal on 63rd Street. I am sure other neighborhoods in 8 have similar rumors.
Hey boys & girls. It's your favorite CPD boss, Lt. Richie Scotchbreath. Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I have been so busy planning Capt. Jimbo Spratte's retirement party. It is hard to write to so many heads of states around the world. That Jimbo is more popular that a big screen tv on Super Bowl Sunday.
Hic-Up, Blech, Fart...I think I just planted a tulip bulb in my undie pants!
Anyhow I truly hope everybody who can make Capt. Spratte's party does stop by. Capt. Spratte single handedly took down 7 major street gangs, 3 drug cartels and put 3,128 murderers in prison! It must be true because that is what he tells everybody.
Capt. Spratte looks forward to being the Director of Interpol after retirement. Hic-Up, Blech, Fart...I think I just planted a tulip bulb in my undie pants! Jimbo claims his first arrest with Interpol will be some guy named Osama Bin Laden. Jimbo stated that Osama called him and wants to turn himself in since Osama knows he has no chance of surviving once Spratte is the Interpol Director.
Well got to go, have to book the roman coliseum for Spratte's party. TR's bar and banquet hall was already book for the day we needed for the party.
Sincerely,
Lt. Richie Scotchbreath
(Rumored to be getting Spratte's Captain Bars once he is retired.)
023 has been nothing but a report-taking satellite office for several years now.
whoever reads this site that can make things happen....please make up new boundaries for the 008th dist.
Nope, it creates another car to carry reports back and forth from the main station. I want that car.
(silly, just plain silly)

WTF?
"Bottom line. 011 has the best police and is the best policed district in the city"
I hope this guy wrote this just to get a rise out of some of you(if so, it worked), however I wouldn't be surprised if one of my fellow "Fillmo rangers" really believes this to be true. I am currently a hair-gel wearing officer in Harrison. This comment is embarrassing to me personally, and flat out wrong. I would like to apologize to the real Fillmore Rangers and "real po-leece" all over the city who have actually earned those titles. Not everyone who works in 011 is a stroke, although we have more than our share. All of the rebuttals to this post were dead-on, and well deserved. Stay safe out there.
p.s. you have to admit, those fake bullet holes on the sleeves of the black Ranger hoodies are pretty sweet.
Good idea? Bad idea? All I know is word sure gets around fast!
We share a zone with 008 and they are in a rap from 4pm until 4am DAILY. They need to draw a line right down the middle and split it in two. I don't imagine that a satellite office is going to reduce the number of calls for service within the district.
many suburban police departments employ "satellite" stations and also offer victims the option of reporting crimes online.... welcome to the 21st century---- as usual, we are adopting policy that other agencies have been practicing for many years....
O.T. - When is the contract going to be settled? My taxes went up with no solution from FOP. Dump the Citywide team! Mike Sheilds for President of FOP. Don't just dream - dump the Citywide team.
I'm so tired of all these people from the 8th dist. crying that the Dist. is too big and that they need more police..News Flash 008;the Districts are short everywhere.If 008 is too big for you to handle;we will take you in the ghetto where according to you guys;"are not shorthanded".Grow up or bid out bitches!
Can we have a satellite office in Hegewisch?
Maybe a few cops too?
and if they do go on strike how will we know? The reason all those other convention centers are so successful is because they are not owned by governments. Especially OUR world-reknowned corrupt government. Owned and operated by professionals who conduct conventions for a living. They hire professionals educated for the jobs they are hired to perform and ensure that they are done according to the promoters standards. Their union workers are paid union wages and extra taxes and fees are not slapped on to every swinging door and loaded box. The convention ship has sailed from Chicago and it's not returning to port ever again. The Boat Show organizers are already kicking themselves for not listening to advice about aborting the Chi-town show. Their already sunk!
care to fill us in on these scandals????
I hope they put a Sgt in there. I've lost count to how many times I've actually done a report for one of these fine citizens and they STILL weren't happy. Plus, I'm sure that once it opens, the library staff will consider who ever works in it their "personal" police force. Every time they have a disturbance, they will just ask the officer in the satellite office to take care of it.
024 has had a satellite office up around Clark and Howard for years. Other than it being a good place to eat lunch or use the facilities, no P.O.'s have been stationed there for years. I'm sure it's a great write off for the Dominick's store that it sits in.

That is a excellent idea. If you look outside of Chicago, there are many departments that use satellite offices to stretch resources. They can staff the satellite offices with light and limited duty officers who have the skills to write case reports and talk to the residents. Instead of hiding the valuable resources of veteran officers in call back or other units, create satellite offices. Finally, a good idea from 35th street.
OT: After last night it's time to get out of Mt Ghettowood. 111th and Kedize looked like trash I thought I was at 63rd and Ashland.
I hope it's going to be at my local library. I will be able to take out a book and get a police report all in one place. Is this going to be a clout job? If not, I want to volunteer for it. I can spell and I love writing bullshit reports. Maybe the 311 calltakers will be transfered there.
I'm so tired of all these people from the 8th dist. crying that the Dist. is too big and that they need more police
Hey big shot, it's a safety issue. Years ago even before we were so shorthanded, if you worked in 008 and needed an assist at 83rd and Western, your nearest available might be coming from 55 and Harlem. Get over yourself
They are not satellite offices, they are triage centers for this department. This department is spiraling out of control, and fast.

Daley wants to get rid of the walking wounded.
The satellite office is going to be on the west end of 008 so that people won't have to travel all the way to 63rd & Homan to make a report. Haven't heard any other details of who is going to man it, the hours, what's going to be inside there. 008 also has a satellite office in Ford City that was manned during the Christmas shopping season, but is never manned any other time due to lack of manpower. I'd love to see how often this satellite office will be manned.
And yes it is time to re-draw 008. It's too big.

Hey dipshit, try working 008 before you bash them. I have worked the ghettos of 006, 007 and 011 and also a little stint in the barrio of 010. Its simple working all those places and I was no where near as busy as I was for the years I spent in 008. 3rd watch you don't get the chance to play sneak-and-peak because you are in a RAP from roll call til check-off, lunches denied and you rarely get to stay on your beat and sometimes sector. They have led the city in calls for service for several years straight (ghetto districts don't get nearly as many) and still have the "ghetto" crime.
One good thing about 008 was the guys/girls on 3rd watch, good bunch to work with.
And 016 isn't big?

WTF jag we were there are your that stupid or are cameras that bad,troops on the ground can see better so kid at the "fusion" center go back to daddy and tell him your doing a good job!
Wait a minute. They are setting up a police station in a LIBRARY? Oh, that's rich. The head librarian is gonna love that.
Late book fees line up on the left. Rapists, murders on the right and assaults go to the circulation desk please.

ghetto, hun tough guy, apparently you aint been in 008 lately,
shouldnt these mushes at callback be doing these reports anyways over the phone????
splitting 008 in 2 will not help, all they would do is take all the cops that are already in 088 and split them evenly between 008A and 008B. now if they put on 30% more cops in 008 the district size would not be a problem
Speaking of Teamsters. There is a group of Sgts working on decertifying their current union and have been talking with Teamsters into representing them.
Maybe we need a new union representing us.
They are putting it out west? If they going to put it anywhere, put it around 69th and Western.
12:08 and 12:09 AM You guys hit the nail right on the head. Shanksville is in trouble. Watch for xtra-short to privatize with armed security guards, or Cook County Sheriffs... hehe !

So you are aware..... 007 and 008 (Zone 6) each be getting their OWN radio frequency in the very near future. They are almost finished with the project.

A great response to the myriad of issues concerning working in the overcongested, overpopulated 008th District. Weis and Daley are indeed a mess! No relief to the problems of congested streets in an area with far too many people to adequately provide law enforcement service to in an acceptable or professional manner.
Thanks assholes!
how about taking reports at the local alderman s office instead? send all the bullshitters there...lost ''matricula'' id card,lost cellphone,bullshit id theft. most of these report are COMPLETE BULLSHIT SCAMS. satellite office=aldermans office=caps office...has a nice ring to it.
Dugan where are you? We need the manpower in the districts. The end to those units is coming!!!! The post about those rumors are indeed true!
The 008th district is by far the busiest in this city, its not even close. I bid there thinking it was the same district as 20yrs ago, HA boy was I wrong. That place is a complete zoo. Im talking beat cars handling easily 35 jobs a night, a backlog for the entire 2 yrs i was there, always lunches denied, etc. That place should have been broken up years ago, its way too damn big and the east end is no different than 007. Its basically englewood west. I guarantee they are in top 4-5 in shootings every yr, its not safe for those coppers with a district that big
GO TEAMSTERS!!....WE SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY!!
231am, i assume you work in a "busy" district. You know, one where the coppers handle 3-5 jobs a night and cry about how busy they are. JOKER. Hate when coppers talk sjit about others, fact is that 008 is too big. Work there and lets see how long before you poop your pants big boy

Listen new kid, 008 is teh ghetto its the largest ghetto in the city. I know we all can't be hero's in our minds like you, Ranger of danger! Get a clue dickwad! There are is one good neighborhood in 008 left and they are at the front lines of the beast. They need more protection that this new office wont give. More bodies are needed. If a "real police" district needs more coppers, then 008 needs twice that amount because we are twice as big.

Last week I was checking the northside districts for M/2 fillers for a couple of line-ups.
How the hell can 017 and 023always have next to NO arrests in their daily cue?
Looks like a couple of good spots for a PO to do their last 5 years in, prior to retirement.
Funny though, 017 looks like a lot of youngsters work there, yet where are the heads?
"It is going into the clearing library at 63rd place and narragansett,big secret not anymore! Just exactly what will it contain? bosses? sleeping quarters?"
First they will have chase out the other 'City Workers' who hide there all day.
I would gladly trade this Potemkin Policing for an extra squad in 8-11 and 8-12.
I did a ride-along in Atlanta one time when I was down there for a conference ten or twelve years ago. Their police "stations" are like walk-in offices in malls with huge glass windows in front and a regular easy-to-jump-over counter to separate the public from the police. Freaked me out.
Also freaked me out that when they "arrested" someone for a domestic, they gave them a summons to go to court. They didn't physically take the person in. (And they DID refer to it as an arrest.) But then again, they were a little light on lock-up space in their mall offices.
I wonder if all that changed.
Altgeld Gardens has a Satellite Office for all the taxpayers there. I think it was used once when someone from Iowa got off the Expressway and made a wrong turn.
I have also heard at the library off of 63rd. This has been in the works for months now. Lets just hope we get some guys working 811 that actually do something. There has to be someone out there that lives in the neighborhood that wouldn't mind working the car.

Yes satellite office in 007 has no front door (FIRE HAZARD) if they send you there call CFD and the FOP ASAP. Whos great idea was this anyway the policy group.
I think we are due for another protest, this time in regards to manpower. I think that may finally get people thinking about police shortages and maybe something will happen. Let's do it!
There will be a police computer in the satellite office. It will be stolen, broken, vandalized, compromised, infected within two days. End of satelllite office.

City of Chicago Property Tax Relief Program
This program provides relief to City homeowners hit hardest by increases to their 2008 property tax bill for their primary residence.

The amount of tax relief you could receive is based on a combination of income level and the amount of your property tax increase. For example, the lower your income and the higher your property tax increase, the more relief you’ll be eligible for.
Only one check will be given per homeowner and per property and will be mailed to the homeowner’s mailing address.
You may qualify to receive between $25.00 and $200.00 in the form of a Chase Visa Check Card within six to eight weeks upon submitting your application if you:
1. Are a homeowner who has a principal residence is in the City of Chicago.

Not defending anyone, but since when does the FOP have anything to do with your property taxes? Did I miss that in the General Orders or in our contract? That's like blaming Bush for the economic downturn we're in. Congress writes the checks!!! AND they're just giving away YOUR money to those too lazy to work!

Daley is the one who created the giant monster teamster union and pumped it up to keep the machine running. Now he wants to kill it? Daley is the worst corrupt business man in the history of America!
IT: Talk about double standard, State Rep. Monique Davis has in her possession lost/stolen property. To wit, a statue owned by Chicago State University, which she refuses to return.
Now if a lowly state employee had possession of this statue do you think that employee would be allowed to keep it with no consequences? Or even return it with no consequences? He'll no! That employee would be locked up faster then Obama can spend tax dollars.

Cant remember last the time I read a post of someone bitching about the size of 008, honestly. But what I do remeber are the jaggoffs who constantly run their mouths off about the people working in 008 like the poster above. Dont be pissed off if you have to work the ghetto you fool. Ive put my time in and bid here to protect where I and so many others live, the area that has been neglected by way too many for way too long. The fact is 008 is too big, the fact is we are shorthanded and the fact is 008 is one of the busiest largest districts in the whole city. I honestly do feel bad that many have to work the bad areas because they dont have the time to bid out (sorry but its a fact of life) and it is a safety issue citywide, but dont ever badmouth your fellow officers for wanting the same thing so many others have had for years....an abundunce of manpower and cars. The only district that comes to mind about about really needing more officers in a busy place is 3. Overall I will agree that we are short citywide 3-5thousand officers. Get rid of tru and mobile strike and put them back into the districts. Sorry bout your piss poor attitude buddy but sounds like you are the one who's bitching.

HAHA!! thats cute young man. Obviously this is somebody that doesnt work in 008 or has never worked in 008...or works in msf or tru. 008 is rediculous. from kedzie to bell is just an extension of 007 then lets not forget the mexican neighborhood that is about 60% of the district that is usually out of control. If your so confident that its the officers and not the size, population and call volume of the district then bid over and show everyone how you do it. If not, then go back to bed in what ever district you work in.. im gonna guarantee its alot slower than 008.. just look at the numbers hairgel warrior. 008 has the population of cincinnati ohio and is almost 30 square miles. The only difference is that cincinnati has 1300 police officers.. 008 has 274 in district and a whole lot more detailed out. so enough of the tuff guy talk and quit trying to wow everyone with your superior police tactics. Trust me, we wont bid out, and im sure you wont bid in. Until you bid here dont talk sh*t junior or you might get embarassed. Now go get you hoodie and do some survellance on the illegal cigarette sales on the corner....nerd.
Satellite Office??
...And just where the hell are they going to get the man power for this??
No movement within the department this period because there are just flat out not enough Police to move anywhere?
This smells like a resurrected rehash from the heyday of CAPS that someone found in the bottom of a file cabinet.
Is this the best answer j-fart, masters, duggie, burst and the policy group could come up with?
If so, then on it's face it's a non-answer!

We need a Police Wives Assosciation
1/23/2010 12:12:00 AM"
There is or was a "Police Wives Association", but I haven't heard anything about them in years. Their logo was a silver five pointed star encircled by a wedding band.
Considering modern times what we need is a "Police Family Association", one that is NOT under the umbrella of the department or the FOP.
I would love to produce a TV spot before the next mayoral election. It would be simply be a series of police widows and family members looking straight into the camera who each deliver a part of a speech that would be something like.
"Mayor Daley, for over twenty five years you have trashed the Chicago Police Department. You have cut manpower and equipment while your friends have grown rich with your grandiose plans that benefit few and leave our neighborhoods unprotected. You have put incompetent managers in place in our department (show photo of Weis and Masters) instead of real police commanders.
"You have cut our benefits, held up our contracts and raise our taxes while you forged ahead with you spending spree for Olympics and other things that do not serve the basic needs of the public."
"We are tired of your arrogance and ignorance about real people issues. You forgot that police officers and their families are citizens and voters. Come Election Day we will vote for a long over due change."
Stay safe, the speech needs some work, but you get the idea.
"Go TEAMSTERS!!!
The Boys in Blue Support You!
We can't strike but we hope you bring the miserable prick to his knees and we support you.
City of Chicago truck drivers consider strike vote
January 22, 2010 10:43 PM | No Comments:
BE CAREFUL!
Somewhere is City Hall there is a PLAN for this. When the strike hits, Daley will fire everyone, sell off the trucks to his friends (cheap) who will hire non-union drivers and add a new tax on our Water & Sewer bill.
Shortshanks would LOVE TO SELL THIS! Privatize Garbage Collection and Snow Removal, it would make the Parking Meter deal look like chump change. Who is going to get rich off of this deal?
AUDIT THE CITY'S BOOKS! Where is all the money going?
Are the Teamsters ready to vote Shorty out also? Operation Valkerye is now in effect.
JIMMY MAUER FOR MAYOR!
About 2,000 City of Chicago truck drivers plan a vote next week which might authorize a strike that could cripple such vital city services as snow removal, garbage collection and airport operations.

Different topic but did u see the latest PAX 501. Ur fake SUP Jfed said he is going to make all task force positions open to bid by the entire police dept and those chosen will be because they deserve it and not because of who they know. U should post it so we all can get another good laug cause he (jfed) claims other shit as well.
I'm so tired of all these people from the 8th dist. crying that the Dist. is too big and that they need more police..News Flash 008;the Districts are short everywhere.If 008 is too big for you to handle;we will take you in the ghetto where according to you guys;"are not shorthanded".Grow up or bid out bitches!
Look the facts are that the 008th District has 50,000 more residents more than the next closest district (025) which has about 200,000. The difference alone is as big as some of the smaller districts. 008 and 025 are double and triple the size of most districts in number of residents. Plus the 008 th district is in the top 5 in size and is also # 1 in calls for service.
Speaking of districts that have gone to shit and are radically underpoliced: anyone got any info on the SW done in 16 yesterday?
-A copper who wants to move
OT. Our sergeant told us he has to rate us on some form EB made. EB called it personal or personnel assessment form. I saw it. Its not stats its like outstanding, good, average or bad. How can EB get away with this when the department has a evaluation system that gives officers recourse? Is EB going to use his personal or personnel rating system to rationalize dumping more to bring in more of his own? Anyone hear of this happening before?
News Flash 008;the Districts are short everywhere.If 008 is too big for you to handle;we will take you in the ghetto where according to you guys;"are not shorthanded".Grow up or bid out bitches!
**********************
If you had anytime on the job then you would not work in the ghetto. Obviously you still have the complex of your gonna be the real police in the ghetto.. why?? why not be the real police in a district where normal people live and especially a high number of police officers. Sounds like another 4 year supercop whos gonna save the ghetto one rock at a time. Your not changing anything. I still make my arrest a day but at least I know im not changin sh*t.. its all b.s. heres my thought on it.. I get my one b.s. head for the company east then grab lunch and spend the rest of the tour on the west end...the way it should be. Im glad to see your so proud to be in the ghetto... youll learn after you burn yourself out kid... 011,015 and 007 are not the promised land.. after 6 years or so youll start to realize its all b.s. enough of you "i work in the ghetto and im a hero" crap. Your not impressing anyone. been there, done that... and I did it in a time when you did it you got the job done.. not this one rock crap. you wanna impress someone, do police work where you actually have to work, observe and look for bad guys...not like in the ghetto where there is a bad guy infront of everyhouse.
The satellite offices will be rented from property owned by DV urban Realty under a new name. Transparency my butt.
here an idea?

KINDA SOUNDS LIKE J-FED GETTING PAID 4 2 JOBS AND THEN NOT DOING IT! LUBERMAN LEARNED WELL AT LEASES HE LEASES ONLY TO NICE RIDES!
WHATS THE DEAL WITH ALL THESE SGTS AT THE AREAS 2 MUCH TIME AND PAY ON THERE HANDS SEND THEM BACK 2 THE STREETS. ITS NOT LIKE THEY ANSWER PHONES FOR THE DICKS THEY CANT EVEN ANSWER QUESTION WHEN YOU CALL.....
MOST OF THEM WERE NEVER DETECTIVES TO BEGIN WITH BUT ALL OF THEM SEEM TO HAVE BEEN ON A TACT TEAM AT 1 TIME, GO FIGURE.
ITS TIME 4 THE "ELITE" UNITS TO START WRITING PAPER AND GETTING RADIO JOBS.
I CAN JUST PICTURE THEM NOT LOGGING IN ON THOSE PDT DUCKING WORK.
MAKE SOME DOMESTIC ARREST THEN SEARCH THE HOUSES U WILL FIND TONS OF GUN AND DRUGS.
IF ONLY RIC FLAIR THOUGHT OUT OF THE BOX AT LEAST HE TANS WELL.

I saw it coming, I moved up north 3 years ago....Best move I ever made I see.
Satellite Office?
If you are going to have Satellite Offices, why not put them where the city will not have to rent space, people come to make police reports anyway and they city will not even have to pay for electric or phone service. There are even security guards 24/7 for back-up.
Put them HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS.
There is a Police Room, a phone there already, give them a radio charger, a computer terminal and a sign on the door and it's up and running. With an officer there already, there would be no calling and tying up a car.
Stay safe, now watch Dugan go waving this idea in front of Jody like he's some kind of genius.
Mt Ghettowood.....thats too funny but so true. How about Mt Sectioneight
I love Chi-town but I detest the
corrupt city govt., the tens of thousands of gang members and all the petty drug dealers and various miscreants that bring it down. I lived in 011 for 14 yrs and in 08 for ten now. I've seen an equal amount of dead bodies in both. Yes, 08 is huge and should be split or more manpower added somehow. If there is any solace at least LeClaire Courts is closed and will be razed. Good luck still waiting for a contract and maybe if the boys from the two phoney wars come home, a new mayor will hire more troops.
Not a cop but from an old cop family.

--How about those folks on Western etc get more service than they deserve. The district station is more convenient for those on the east end and center of the district.
The people on the west end (7200W) shouldn't have to go to approx 38 blocks)to make a stinkin report. Figure out the mileage to the areas you are suggesting! Western approx 10 blocks; 71 & Pulaski approx 13 blocks to the station. BIG difference!!! About time things are made more convenient for the people that pay taxes and deserve police service!!!! So STFU!
Grow up or bid out bitches!
--Why don't you worry about yourself. I bid IN so I could watch my house on the west end and 95% of the time it's so busy that I can't even make it there. So if you've never been in 008 doing the work that we do, GFY! You don't know shit! Many days on afternoons handling 15-20 jobs a day in a backlog. Every district has dogs, and every district has workers. I commend the 008th district for busting ass out there.

It shouldn't stretch manpower resources if they assign some of the walking wounded and other POWs from call-back over there to do the reports.
1/23/2010 12:13:00 AM
That is a excellent idea. If you look outside of Chicago, there are many departments that use satellite offices to stretch resources. They can staff the satellite offices with light and limited duty officers who have the skills to write case reports and talk to the residents. Instead of hiding the valuable resources of veteran officers in call back or other units, create satellite offices. Finally, a good idea from 35th street.
1/23/2010 07:58:00 AM
We are about the last of the larger departments, and certainly the last of the big 5 departments, to have satellite mini-stations. As usual, we are 20-30 years behind the times. Ever see the NYPD blue neon sign at Times Square? That's one of their satellites.
I'd like to borrow these two books and make a police report. thank you.

As far as the snow removal, they tried that last year. The city tried to get private plows to take care of the side streets which would leave S&S to concentrate on the main streets.
It didn't materialize due to the fact that when the city open the bid process, no one put a bid in.

I don't think so. 008 and 014 have some of the laziest cops in the City assigned. I don't doubt there are some good coppers there too, but the dogs outnumber the workers by slightly better than 2 to 1.

Go fuck yourself, asshat. 008 is rockin 24/7. I wont say shit about 014, or 011, or 003. Why? Because I dont work there. Clearly, you dont work in 008. Now, shut up, grab your radio, and be a part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

Hey Asshole. You can fuck yourself with the shit about the "fusion" center. If you read your post, you answer your own beef. The "camera monitoring center" is at OEMC. It is staffed by camera watchers. That is what they do. The fusion center will look at the camera's if someone asks them to. They are not the camera monitoring center.

Who should we lock up, hero? It's a low-crime area...low crime means few criminals, which means few arrests. That's just the way we like it, that's why 017 is one of the best districts in the city to work in.
go teamsters from a pissed off laborer who thought our union had balls but was really under the midgets thumb......
008 Respectively should be re mapped into 4 sectors
10
20
30
40
With early and late rapids assigned to cover sector borders,and/or assigned to "hot" areas delineated by calls to service and SPECIFICALLY calls for Drugs,Gang Activity,and Other Violence.This would free the Gang and tact teams up for missions in other areas of the District.
Special Units: TRU MSF Ect would be CALLED IN on an AS NEEDED basis(scheduling errors,over lapping furloughs, IOD's ect)
simple enough when it was suggested to COMMANDER MALLOY
which is HOW LONG AGO THIS IDEA HIT PAPER.
Fine tuning is always welcome.
Additionally, Zone 6 should CONSIDER placing 007 and 008 on Different Frequencies due to EXCESSIVE CALLS in both districts.FCC has allocated 45 UHF channels for license under City of Chicago Police and NONE are being used. This would ENHANCE OFFICER SAFETY.
Just lookin out for the ones for whom Danger is No Stranger
(when you're and Englewood Ranger)
just look at the numbers hairgel warrior. 008 has the population of cincinnati ohio and is almost 30 square miles. The only difference is that cincinnati has 1300 police officers.. 008 has 274 in district and a whole lot more detailed out.
***********************************
WOW!
That really puts the Chicago PD "manpower shortage" in terms that most citizens can understand!
I once checked the manpower levels in all 25 districts and noticed that most had about the same number of officers(excluding 001 and 018)-even though some districts were geographically much smaller. For example, 015 is somewhat small in geographic terms. In larger districts, there are single beats that are nearly as large as the entire 015th district. However, 015 is violent and busy.
Some districts are slower, but have similar manpower numbers as busier districts.
I always wondered which "HQ bean counter" was responsible for creating this mess known as the citywide beatmap!
It appears that district re-alignment is long overdue..but will never occur because it is a political hot potato!

b) stink weed
c) search warrant
d) smelly wanker
e) somebody's wife
It doesn't really matter how you redraw 008's beats or sectors. Without more manpower you are just moving Titanic's deckchairs.
Does 008 still have about 20 people in the offices??
I am sure that all that paperwork is highly mission-critical.
Just bring back Cmdr. James G. Carroll and his cape crusader Donnie B!

Sorry, "dick", but apparently you're not paying attention - we're minimizing arrests due to the lack of departmental support and a general lack of trust of those in command.

You can run, but you cannot run far enough. Section 8 is up north, too.
Sgts putting the Teamsters Union in? I thought they just got them out? Hahahahahahahahahaha
Archer Ave? Never. That would raise the crime index too high. The way the district is laid out now, PO's usually don't arrive at a citizens residence to make a report until after they've moved out of the city. This keeps crime down and citizens blindly gleeful.

This damn computer craze will have run it's course soon enough and we can get back to yellow legal pads and pencils.
First they take those beloved white stripes off the side of my uniform pants, then they changed the shoulder patch, then some smart guy decides the revolver isn't good enough anymore, and now they want to do what, put case reports on computer and open satellite offices?

That's just the way we like it, that's why 017 is one of the best districts in the city to work in.
You mean it used to be one of the best. Its been driven into the ground the past couple of years.
Daley wants to move O'Hare and Midway Airport snow removal drivers from a guaranteed, eight-hour work day to just two hours on days without snow.

Who should we lock up, hero? It's a low-crime area...low crime means few criminals, which means few arrests. That's just the way we like it, that's why 017 is one of the best districts in the city to work in.
is that why 017 last four shootings....three of them have been homicides? seem like the poster above should get out from behind the desk and into the street more often
I would like to thank the police of the 008th District for their support and protection of my neighborhood. The 008th District came to my families call when they thought our home was being burglarized when I was at work and would not have made it home on time. We could all bitch about something but once you’ve worked in that atmosphere you will never know what it’s like. I’ve worked in many districts and I’m glad to see the service in the 10 sector of 008. No thanks to our Alderman. Kudos to the copper from 008.

O.T. - When is the contract going to be settled? My taxes went up with no solution from FOP. Dump the Citywide team! Mike Sheilds for President of FOP. Don't just dream - dump the Citywide team.

Damn right. And when are we going to the 4-2, it was promised, now when will it start?
Honey, can you go get me another bottle of Jack Daniels and pass that joint? And another valium too. And please change my drool cup.
satellite station in 4 , 8 , 16 and 22 is a good idea
man the station with retired police officers , keep the young
officers available for street duty
1/24/2010 10:05:00 AM
Why are people so fucking stupid??? WTF can a retired copper do? HE IS RETIRED. Do you think the powers bestowed upon you last until death?
Mr. Superintendent , hire retired police officers to man desk , review , satellite staions and sporting event details .
We would work for less than full duty officer , no benefits needed
it's a win win for CPD and Chicago
run it by the Mayor , you'llget activity from us too parking tickets
good pr too , we know how to talk to citizens , not like the brycreme kids
city will save millions and hiring won't be necessary
True story: I had to travel across town (I live in 008) to the 008th D once to add myself to an already fucked up crash rpt. I was scheduled for surgery that morning so I couldn't wait for a beat car which may have never have come b/c the distrist is always in a backlog and it was no priority. Much later, after re-interviewing a neighbor I located the car that hit my parked car only one block away from my hse. This was in the spring. The accident was in Jan 09! The confusion was that the officer wrote the offending plate down wrong. I even had ISP run it on my job (IDOT). The thing is he physically had the plate in his hand from the neighbor. Was he in a hurry? The ins. company. AIG (remember them, it's now 21st century)would not retun my 1K deductible unless the original CR was updated w/ both cars. I had to write the Bureau of Admin. Svcs CO to get it updated b/c every time I went to that zoo (no offense) on 35th street it was not updated. I got my 1G returned. We had the same insured.
I'm just sayin, a simple crash in
huge district nearly cost me a G. and all I was doin was sleeping.
Not a cop but from an old CPD family.

Moron.
A retired PO can write a report. Same as the civilian police aids used to do. Without the training and with no benefits.
Certainly you weren't born with the intelligence of a normal person; your is definitely lower than that.
There was a CPD Public Housing satellite office at 365 W Oak for at least 25 years. What else is new, next thing you know some genius will claim to have invented the two way police radio and decide to give one to all officers.
Maybe hire civilians to work the desk at district stations to take reports. And maybe a school patrol unit.
In short, there is very little that is new here under the sun. Except efficiency, fairness, timely and equitable contract negotiations. You get the drift.

Why are so many people getting offended because someone said that the 008th district isin't a ghetto district? Is your self esteem that low that low that you need to have the reputation of being someone who works in "the ghetto"? That is pathetic!!! Get a life!!!
In the begining Jfed tells Daley I will reduce crime.I will reduce the Police force. Save the city lots of money. I will get rid of all the old P.O.s.Brainwash the younger ones. redo the beats, give them 4-2 this will appear as if there is more Officers on the street.Citizens will know any better.I can tell the media anything, they just on and off a subject.
there is 45 guys in the marine unit doing nothing now, lets use them in the new 8th dist. satellite office.
why don't we just let people fill out their own reports? They could fill them out for everything except violent crimes, or where offenders are on scene. Even things like burglaries could be done, if an ET is needed they can just check that box and fill in some basic info. These completed reports could be reviewed online by any desk sgt in the city who would determine if police need to respond.
Most of the non violent crimes don't get investigated anyway, and this way people wouldn't have to wait around for police to make it over.

........................................................oh sorry about the kipper mate.
if its any consolation, "fat finger errors" are nothing new. They cost public and privite firms billions annually. Your just part of a statistic.

Dickhead.
Have you heard of a fucking phone.
It is what you use when you make a report over to the phone.
In fact we have a unit called Alternate Response Section which does case reports over the phone. No need to drive to the police kiosk to have a retired copper scratch out a case report for a stolen hood ornament.
You've got to get that hamster to spin that wheel faster in your fucking brain. Because there is no way the city is going build report kiosk when there is whole unit already dedicated to it.
So you can take your fucked up sentences and obtuse thoughts and believe you are more intelligent than me. This is only possible because of your incredible ignorance.
805am, I guarantee 111 kedzie looked like trash because of the piece of shit white kids living here. Maybe if there mommy and daddys knew what they were doing instead of partying with all the other drunkass st christina parents then the shit wouldnt be so fucked up. Many of these kids parents are, yep u guessed it, firemen and coppers. WAKE THE FUCK UP!
OT: After last night it's time to get out of Mt Ghettowood. 111th and Kedize looked like trash I thought I was at 63rd and Ashland.

Thanks bitch can't swim errr?
Put them HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS.
There is a Police Room, a phone there already, give them a radio charger, a computer terminal and a sign on the door and it's up and running. With an officer there already, there would be no calling and tying up a car.
Stay safe, now watch Dugan go waving this idea in front of Jody like he's some kind of genius.
1/23/2010 06:16:00 PM
Staf the rooms and satellite offices with limited duty. They are useless in units hiding from street details so put them to good use. Have limited duty work the satellite offices and do some useful work.
1/24/2010 11:21:00 AM
I wrote Put Them IN HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS, and I work the street in a district with hospitals.
Putting light or limited duty personnel in that position would NOT be a good idea. Shot gangbangers get dropped off, angry people, domestics, prisoner guards, it's all there in the ER.
Stay safe, if an officer is assigned OUT IN THE PUBLIC, they need to be full duty.
Does anyone out there know how to produce a You-Tube Video?
Please take the speech..."We are tired of your arrogance and ignorance about real people issues. You forgot that police officers and their families are citizens and voters. Come Election Day we will vote for a long over due change."
...and produce a video, get some real police family members, don't use names, use the on screen titles of "Police Officer's Widow". "Police Officer's Wife or Husband or Son" and you can say "I worry that my husband-dad-mom doesn't have proper backup because Mayor Daley has been shorting the CPD of manpower." "I worry if there is a knock at the door and he's not home."
Work with that, maybe get some college TV production class to give you good camera work and lighting.
Stay safe, go ahead and take this and make it maybe it will go "viral" on You-Tube.

Those words are too big for my hamsters to spin that fast. Profanity and multi-syllable words in one paragraph. You must work at 35th street. City has and will build satellite stations. Sorry. Now where can I find larger hamsters to keep up with your big words!
Sorry guys a civilian cannot fill out a POLICE report.

KNOWING HOW TO SWIM HAS NEVER BEEN A PREREQUISITE TO BE ON THE MARINE UNIT. THE GUY WHO SWAM THE ENGLISH CHANNEL HAD TO FILE A GREIVANCE IN ORDER TO GET THERE, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?
AT ONE TIME THE MARINE UNIT CREW WENT TO HOUSING OR MASS TRANSIT DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, BUT NOW THAT THEY'RE AQUATIC SPECIALISTS & NO LONGER POLICEMEN THAT'S GONE BY THE WAYSIDE
You Garcia Ridge people R just mad because you are now stuck on the west end of 008. Nobody wants to buy a house next to a gang banger!!

A civilian aide could do a better job of completing a cae report than the young females on the desk today. Beat cars blow off reports every day or cannot complete a traffic crash report correctly. Two trained civilians equal one police salary. The mayor and public do not care who completes the report. Wake up!

Hey Moron. ever hear of a Police Aide. I guess you are relatively new and dumb. How about a Cadet?
Don't spout off if you don't know shit. Police Aides would use their employee number at the "star" line. I don't know if cadets do case reports or are merely slaves to the desk crew.
I have only worked in 8 on a few occassions, but holy crap is it busy! I would rue the day that I got assigned to that district, too many shitheads and normal people...that is hard to police. Give me one or the other.
When the 8th district was originally mapped out way back when, it was farmland west of St Louis Ave....it's time to re-map! Never have a bad word to say about my 008 PO's---especially 812 1st watch...who ran after the punks who stole my neighbor's car radio for BLOCKS and caught 'em!
Da mayor ain't no dummie
dose captains will soon be asigned to afternoons and midnights so dey can watch command dose young hair gels out dere
we don't need no stickin captains to watch us old timers on days
day captains don't do nothin
wake up jody you have da lt commander on days so why do you need a captain
You Garcia Ridge people R just mad because you are now stuck on the west end of 008. Nobody wants to buy a house next to a gang banger!!
1/25/2010 08:17:00 PM
You are either not the police nor a city worker. Because if you are then you live next to a gangbanger too. One thing is for sure you are a dumb a$$!
