Well This Explains A Bunch
Two weeks ago, a number of people pointed out that there were no bid openings for transfers. That was rare enough to provoke some pointed commentary in assorted posts.
Friday, the transfer order came out - eleven pages of it. Just about all "Code F - not subject to bidding" transfers. At first glance, someone just got rid of a whole bunch of paperwork. A deeper look reveals that this might just eliminate a whole load of "double counting" that went on in Patrol Division. For non-CPD readers, that was when a District Commander could claim they had no openings and everything was up to strength without mentioning the 50 or 60 or more people Detailed Out to TRU, MSF, Gun Teams, Gang Teams, outside agencies, etc. Districts that were formerly "up to strength" suddenly have a bunch of openings.
It also gives lie to J-Fed's PAX 501 that was e-mailed out last week:

- TASK FORCE ASSIGNMENTS
Over the past two years, I have worked hard to ensure that specialized assignments and opportunities are made available to all of our members and that they are filled with the most qualified and deserving applicants, based on open, fair and objective processes.
Few things are as damaging to morale and operational effectiveness as an environment where officers feel that their performance, work history and attitude are less important than who they know.
This coming from an individual who spent 20 years in one of the most insular law enforcement organizations in existence. An organization that shows no loyalty to the individual, but revels in the cover up and ostracizes anyone who doesn't blindly support the organization. Remember Robert Wright?
- In keeping with this philosophy, I have directed that vacancies on any and all task forces be posted Department-wide. Postings may include a description of the Task Force, required abilities and preferred qualifications as well as information required to apply (i.e., resume, writing sample, etc.), timeline for application and where materials should be submitted, as well as any other information deemed relevant by the submitting bureau.
This process is intended to ensure that opportunities are made available to all members of the Department, and that the most highly qualified and best-suited officers are selected for positions. Networking and an ability to work well in a team with supervisors, peers and subordinates are important aspects of any officer’s character. However, who one knows should not be the defining factor in selecting a person for a position. Each and every officer of the Department deserves to know that what really matters are qualities such as; leadership ability, exceptional performance, attitude, work history, dedication to training and education.
"[P]referred qualifications" is legalese for "we're still going to let that commander's kid, the alderman's nephew and the hot chick in." But based on this PAX 501, is it safe to assume that each and every name on the transfer order re-applied for their old jobs at all these "Task Forces" so the taxpayers of Chicago have only "the most highly qualified and best-suited officers" working to eliminate criminal behavior across our fair city?
Or is this yet another case of "don't worry, it's all legit....from this point forward. We swear!"

Boy are those gang officers screwed! Every last one of them just lost their assignment to their respective districts. You are now at the whim of the department where they want to put you! But they still get to wear jeans! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O.T.
Looks like Bobby Lopez and crew is picking up steam with their new organization and Da Mayor can't do shit about it because of the religious and political ramifications. Bobby better get promoted with the next shuffling of the deck if the mayor and JFED knows any better.

I attended the meeting and there were a couple hundred people there. For those of you that didn't attend please try to be there next time. Next meeting is on the 17th of Februrary at FOP but for those of you attending while your "going to get gas" make sure you leave your radios in the car or try not to pose for pictures. Jeeze! Go Bobby!
WEISel, stop it. Just fucking stop it right now. The more you try to paint yourself as fair & humble guy, the more you trip over your own highly inflated ego.
You ain't the man, you never were, and you never will be, at least not here. Go and work on that resume (and it will take a whole bunch of fucking work, be sure of that), Maybe Masters or whatever City Hall hack that wrote that bullshit article about him for Crain's can offer you a few tips to punch it up a bit, although FAILURE would be quick and to the point.
At least fairy tales begin with;"Once upon a time". Maybe all department correspondence should start that way.
"However, who one knows should not be the defining factor in selecting a person for a position.
"This process is intended to ensure that opportunities are made available to all members of the Department, and that the most highly qualified and best-suited officers are selected for positions."
WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT! LET SEE WHERE SHALL I START?
1) Deputy Superintendent SP aka "Screaming Skull" was selected purely because of how he "knew" JFED while working on an FBI task force together.
2) Assistant Superitendent BC aka "Blinky" purely selected because of how she "knew" Peterson.
3) Assistant Superintendent JJ aka as "deer in the headlights man" was selected because of how he "knew" Peterson.
(Funny how everyone in Area 4 was elevated to highest positions) huh?
4) All of JFED's "Fed" buddies were hired because of who they "knew" - JFED.
5) On and on .....If you take the time and know the political game you can connect all the dots all the way down to every last exempt.
Now simply ask yourself this.
Are the above listed people "the most highly qualified and best-suited for the positions they are currently in?
Jody, please don't ever patronize us like this again. It insults some of us that possess higher than your average exempt's double digit IQ. Do you for one minute think that any of us buy this crap? If that was the case 80% of your exempts would not be there.
"Each and every officer of the Department deserves to know that what really matters are qualities such as; leadership ability, exceptional performance, attitude, work history...." YEAH RIGHT!
Enough said! Have a good Sunday my "true blue" brother and sisters!
I've said it before and I'll say it again and keep saying it......
NEVER, NEVER, EVER TRUST A FED........
Someday it will not have to said, but for now........
Never, Never, Ever Trust a fed
God Bless the American Military...
God SAVE the CPD........
God SAVE the Republic......
Your so full of shit J-Fed its not even funny. Go F yourself....
IT'S ALL LEGIT!!!
J-Fed caught lying again. J-Fed is nothing more than Daley's patsy, another money grubbing whore with no ethics or morals.
I can only pray that karma catches up to these ugly people for the injustices they have wrought.
I don't understand the part "Networking and an ability to work well in a team with supervisors, peers and subordinates are important aspects of any officer’s character." Networking? WTF? I came on this job to be the police and I have done a fine job of it. I don't network. I didn't know that was a part of this job and a criteria for promotion.
Working well in a team? We are all a team and we get the job done. What fucking team are they talking about? What's important about any officers character is that they are honorable. I can't say that the author of that letter is.
Networking? That word alone describes the state this department is in. Its the truest word for this regime's mentality. This is not a police department. It is a pretend law enforcement agency.
Whats a crock of shit is the feds get to be part of the interview process. To this day they never got one officer they asked for. The feds know its all bull. They know they get stuck with paper jumpers and transport officers. AT least thats what they do when they show up for work. All that go are friends and family of crooked politicians and useless exempt.
Well if this isnt proof enough for those Hard Chargers w/less than
5 years to look for greener pastures. Those w/less than 10 still trapped in Patrol it wouldn't hurt to look either...
Yes, this explains a "bunch of bullshit". J-Fed does not know what his right hand is doing from his left.
Bosses in districts are still "taking care" of the sacred cows.
That's great. Well and fine, but please stop lying by saying they deserve the spot or are qualified for it.
Simply say, "That's my girl; that's my boy and I am taking care of them so mind your own fucking business."
Instead, the bullshit has to be justified. Typical.
hear me now and believe me later ... my super pecs will crush your weasel girly body and I will put you in the pen like Cozzi ...
kind of off topic: how can anybody with no clout have merrit in this city? time and time again we see desk people making street decisions that are garbage, and they think they are right. i hope it changes. for the sake of cpd humanity, i hope it changes. god bless the workers of the cpd.
TRU, MSF, Gun teams and gang teams are not task forces.
yeah...it's always the same names getting the nice spots...remember it's all legit, really.
J-Fed is so "Pig Headed," pun not intended, that it really makes me ill to see him on the news or read about him. Remember everyone, an old timer told me years ago and now I'm an old timer, my first day on the street when he laid out the rules to me, "Never Trust a Fed." I can't tell you how true that piece of information was so many years ago and is still valid today.
Just leave me the hell alone on my beat car. I don't want tact or community policing or foot post or a traffic car or desk spot or any suckhole position or unit. I see this department for what it is. I work a beat car and that it where I want to stay. Go away, try to take my beat car and it will spontaneously combust. I have things right where I want them. I work 4 in a row. Sometimes. This is damn near perfect. Most days there is no camera, no PDT, little oversight, almost no interference because the sgt's think I am crazy. It took a long time to get this all worked out. Leave me alone.
OT: Our president and his friends in the media keep saying the economy is back on track. Well how come our mayor, the presidents homey, is singing a different tune?
So does this mean that everyone who was "detailed" to a unit is now assigned? And do all the districts have a huge amount of openings now?
It sounds like "the kids" (younger officers) are waking up and figuring out that biddable positions in decent districts are where it's at. Much better way to spend a career then working on the roving "Revrun appeasement" teams. You build seniority, make it work for you, and use the "phone call" for something really good that benefits you and YOUR FAMILY if it ever comes up.... stay safe!
It's all smoke and mirrors
However, who one knows should not be the defining factor in selecting a person for a position.
So what does that mean? Who one knows could be a factor, it just can't be the defining factor? Get the cluck out of here jodey.
It's about time they get rid of the stupid detail assignments! All it did was fuckover the Districts!
I hope from now on and forever, anyone goes anywhere you get assigned there!
No more details!!!!!!!
No more silly detail garbage which fucks us on the beat cars on the watch!
All JFED says is to establish himself as the reform Supe:
- I gave you new cars (Tahoes)
- I gave you training (the joke speaker series, all provided by Chudwin from ITOA, the new CPD insider organization)
- I gave you rifles (but try to get qualified with a shotgun.
- I gave you new equipment options (gun lights, sweaters, more bullshit awards, etc)
- I'm giving you, now, job opportunities.
Hey JFED, give me this:
- decent working conditions based on an equitable contract for all parties.
- some decent leaders. Hear that? Leaders; not yes men and "managers". We need some leadership. And they're out there.
- a viable rifle/shotgun program for all officers.
- legit training, hands on, not some lecture from a cop from a 12 man police department. Whre are our self defense/handcufinf classes; building search training; simunitions; a real firearms training segment at a real range (if you can keep them open and working)
- assignments based solely on qualifications and not phone calls.
- the respect and needs that the Patrol Bureau (read Districts) should have.
Finally, a superintendnet who is a "real cop"; not a wannabe.
Who is Bobby Lopez??????
"NETWORKING"...THATS THE SAME AS "BROWN-NOSING".
WTF!
I/F
Yeah, and 14 days is legit too. "legacy" officers, bosses relatives, strategicly mixed in with some old timers. I wonder how many of the chosen ones ever seen midnights or another watch like everybody else. They been taken care of since day one. Thats what kills this dept and makes unclouted officers say GFY. He can write all the stupid Pax 501 letters and worthless proclamations he wants but until real people receive equal opportunity, mid-level mangers are still taking care of their chosen ones and it is truly to the detriment of this department.
To 1/31/2010 06:07:00 AM
A little friendly advice: if things are going the way you want on this job, never -ever- admit it
With this all done, now [maybe] it will show the true strength in each district. Most districts will be down at least 30-40 officers.
WEISel..you're as full of shit today as you were a year or two ago...maybe even moreso! Only now you have those two assholes Masters and Hamilton to pound the stake through the heart of this once proud Department...you three, along with your highly ineffective executive staff (the asst. Supts and Deputy Supts). and Personnel Director (i.e. Shortshanks lackey) Radner will go down in the annals as the worst management team in the history of the CPD. It will be an honor to see all of you shoved under a very large and heavy rock!
How about Toms Byrne's daughter in the task force with 5 years on! The chick can't even write a case report! The wheels our falling of this bus.. LIES, lets see some action, like sending these unqualified P.O.'S back to a district and see if they can do the patrol job! These task force people even get a take home car because my dad, uncle, cousin, or who ever put them in these undeserving special spots. PROVE YOUR pax 501 already stop feeding us bullshit.
Ahh the "kids are alright" but now they are stuck! For all you hard cahrgers take the COZZI example and work hard,make a minor fuck up to ptrison you will go! Why would an idiot even join the gang teams when you have no support even from ric flair wOOOOOOOOOOO! aka "chesty medals"!

How gun reg in Canada works
the bullshit keeps getting worse and worse. alot of guys are leaving. there is little ''fairplay'' on this job. there are only crumbs left after the connected people and high end females.sometimes you get tired of the manipulators and their apologist supervisors. 90% of the new hires would ve shit their pants during the bulls championships.
a wise person once said, there are three things that are legit.....roller derby, tv wrestling, and the CPD. Oops, forgot Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois government, Prince Hussein (of the State of Obama), and....
Networking, the new CPD term for kiss-ass.
I can think of many unqulaified people in the det div getting prime spots because they kissed ass. No experience, no activity, nothing.
Just look at the "Super's" Policy group and tell me that they are all qualified to be there. He should clean his own house before making statements!
Hey it's all legit now because they say so. GFY!! It will never will be, so save your breath. A prime example is a certain person who's daddy is head of streets and San has been at the JTTF since she has had 5 fucking years on the job. How does someone have a strong enough resume after only 5 years on the job have any qualifications to be even close to be considered for a terrorism task force? Answer: CLOUT.
What a joke, get real.
The gang officers 90 day detail was finally terminated and they were assigned as they were supposedly going to be back in April....Never thought they would be assigned but I was wrong. Didnt think patrol was going to give up 300+ bodies right wrong or indifferent
Well I would have liked to have worked on his Policy Group. On paper I am more qualified than any of the members and in reality, I have more street experience than all involved. I also have my head on straight, I am not politically connected, I speak very well, I know the law, I know the General Orders, I have no Sustained history and on top of that, I love this department. Well I loved the old department. His PAX 501 is total BS.
In reality he has not given ANY of the police rather they are patrolmen, sergeants, lieutenants and above the opportunity to work directly for him or in his circle unless he knew them or one of his kiss ass cronies knew them.
Lastly, he does not know this department. He stupidly got rid of all top management and replaced them with mid level managers who had no clue how to look ahead nor look at the department as a whole. The very next year he did the same thing. He revamped the department, put two of the nicest but the most incompetent people in charge James Jackson and Beatrice Cuello, and then strategically placed his true supporters guided by Beatrice Cuello throughout this department. He still has tunnel vision and looks at the few instead of the many.
Not to rag on any particular Boss, but how can Beatrice Cuello continue to be in charge with her history. She never once made it to any position legitimately. The one person she dogs on a regular basis is who put her in for Merit Lieutenant! Chief Ernest Brown at the direction of Harvey Radney. I know this is true. I worked in the Superintendents office during this time when the real bosses of CPD ran CPD. She also has affiliates with criminals, her condo was raided and guidelines were not followed. I know Exempts that were removed for far less and she is still 3rd in charge.
For the benefit of length, I will not go into other bosses and their positions, we all know the truth. I respect the fact that the Mayor would like to rebound from the negatives surrounding him, but to keep the current regime in place is continually killing our department each day and this city that he claims to love so much. I see he is downsizing CPD. That is the truth. I see he is cutting salaries across the board. I also understand why! But to leave something in place that you know is killing the overall efforts of the department is just ludicrous.
Mayor Daley, look at the rate of those retiring. You were smart in promoting Exempts that did not have the age or years to retire so they take this bullshit and do not say a word. The salary cuts, the benefits cuts, the police cuts etc. Let me say again, that was very smart. You see all the old time bosses have left or are leaving. The ones that stay really just love CPD and this department is their life. My days of being a CPD Police Officer are ending in a few weeks. Look at all of us that have thrown in the towel.
Jodi Weis, Michael Masters, Peter Brust, Pat Daley, James Jackson and especially Beatrice Cuello, if you believe in the BS you spout, do this department and the city as a whole a huge favor, leave. You cost the city in your salaries alone 2 million dollars a year. That is a huge part of the budget. Mayor Daley, start there. You are not getting your monies worth and never will!!!!
I would not suggest slowing down and not working. We all live in this city and after Jfed and crew are finally removed from this department, they will be moving on to warmer places and Chicago would have just been a stepping stone. We still have to live here.
My suggestion would be, this is election time and the Mayor seat is up for grabs. Rather the Mayor runs again or not, lets send a real message and get rid of him or whoever he supports! Lets do this period!!!! That is the only message and the best message.
How can we continue to be forced to live in the city. Property taxes, water bills, food, gas, electric bills etc. all sky rocketed! We have not gotten a raise and they are trying not to give us anything worth having, but they want us to go to work everyday with peace of mind when we are worrying about how we are going to pay our bills, what our wives are doing or how they are feeling since we never see them, if our kids are making it home safely since we cannot afford to put them in private school and they have to take public transportation!
At this point Jfed, no matter what you say we are not going to believe. You told us the truth about how you felt when you first took this job! Jfed, please post a whole section that shows his comments and post the news footage that went along with it. If you do not have it and don't have the time to search for it, let me know and I will do it. That is the reality of what we have been enduring. Jfed and his crew are all Bullshitters, bullshitting!!!

I sure hope that all attending these meetings at the FOP hall are members of the FOP.
Otherwise the FOP needs to charge them for the use of our hall!
word is jfed will be here another 3 years
I say throw everyone back into the districts from these units: GEU, MSF, TRU, SAT, Gun Team, Area Tact Teams.
I honestly don't mind having a separate unit that is full of about 150-350 people that is City-Wide. But it must be utilized better!
Not only do we need the people from these units back in the districts, we need the cars too!
So does this mean that everyone who was "detailed" to a unit is now assigned? And do all the districts have a huge amount of openings now?
1/31/2010 06:46:00 AM
That's a good question, I'm slightly confused myself. I believe people in MSF are assigned, not sure about anyone else.
I cant believ u waste a post on this. I mean really are there any officers on this entire dept that dont know how unfair these units are. Lets be real its not and has never been a fucking secret. Pull the names and i guarantee you find a phone call with EVERY FUCKING person in a unit. Dept is a jOKE
To 1/31/2010 06:07:00 AM. Amen brother. I feel the same damn way. I could'nt say it better if I tried. Including the SGT thinks I'm crazy part!!
I don't agree that assigning all these gang officers to GEU makes Jfeds 501 a lie. They were gang officers who had the choice of going back to the watch or being part of GEU. Now all they did was assign them to GEU and free up a bunch of spots in patrol throughout the city.
That being said, a fair and equitable chance for everyone to get on a "task force" is pretty much Bull shit. We all know things aren't gonna change, they will probably take one or two "legit" guys/girls just so their names can get on this blog and people can say, "yeah he's a good guy, definitely deserves it". It will make Jfeds Blog 501 look good to him and his MASTERful cronies.
The first poster got it right, those guys got screwed, they can now dump any of this Gang Enforcement Unit officers anywhere they want at any time.
The "hot chick"...I love it.
SCC,
You forgot to mention the new Police Officer Leadership Course that was in the Daily Bulletin on the 28th. Look at the dates/timing. Packages in by this Monday morning, with the first class to start on 01 MAR. How many "CLOUTED" people knew of this before it was announced, and is it really just another way for the "CHOSEN FEW" to say, "Look, we passed this course. We should/deserve to be promoted."
Inquiring minds want to know.
I'm sure that everyone that gets these jobs are the most qualified persons for the job. Look , I've been retired over 10 years and I can still see as much as Stevie Wonder can when it comes to transfers and promotions . It all started with the fuckin' Irish taking over the dept. and running it with the aid of the Mayor and all it's aldercreatures . It's never how qualified you are it always been who do you know . Back in the 60's & 70's people took jobs like the daughter's of Cmdrs & Deputys that were rewarded with the Mounted unit and Narcotics who were NO more qualified that a bum off Madison St. The CPD will never change until they get rid of all the corrupt politicians . There , I've vented . I could probably could go on & on but I won't. God Bless the working police who actually deserve a break .
REMEMBER "SANCHEZ" THE GIRL IN THE MOVIE "SWAT" WHEN BEING INTERVIEWED BY " HONDO / SAMUEL JACKSON" AND IF SHE WAS STILL INTERESTED IN BEING "SWAT" AND HER REPLY WAS "NO" "I JUST LIKE APPLYING FOR THE POSITION". THIS IS SO TRUE TO LIFE WHEN DOING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS WITH THE CPD. ONLY FAIR WAY IS BY SENORITY, PERIOD. FLIP
Until we can man patrol, they need to stop the creation of the bullshit units. The Gang Enforcement Section - Start there! Why do you never see arrest stats for this unit compared to when they were in the Districts? THIS IS A FACT!!! The arrests of that unit compared to when those SAME teams were in the districts are less than half. Example, it went from taking 20,000 bad guys off the street a year to less than 10,000 bad guys. That means we are identifying less criminals and hindering less crime! Superintendent Weis should be fired for that Unit alone and for allowing it to exist when they saw within the first 4 months that that was a huge mistake! Now they will try to show us stats from 2009 vs 2010 when the real analysis should be from 2008 and before!!!
Now you have TRU and MSF. WTF? They are the exact same thing, they just target different parts of the city. If they were put back in patrol, they would not be bouncing from district to district and the Deputy Chiefs and Commanders would not have to try and figure out what was what and what District would get a hand compared to another one. If you put those people back in patrol, the Commanders who are being held accountable anyway, can truly control and impact crime. Aldercreatures bitch about that!
Also, why is it that all Districts are held accountable but not these fucked up units. Why are the District Commanders in the hot seat instead of the people that are tasked with complementing their efforts.
Why isn't Jim O'grady, Kevin Ryan, Rousell and Leo Schmidt held accountable? If it is gang related, Rousell and Schmidt should be held to task. The Districts can barely answer calls, do fucked up missions, write tickets and make arrests. If it is a gang related shooting, all should be held to task and the Gang Intelligence and Gang Enforcement Unit should be put in the spot light and asked
* What information did you obtain prior to and after the shooting? *What could YOU have done to prevent it?
It is their fucking job!!! WTF!!!! But all you see is the Commanders trying to make excuses. They cannot stop a fucking shooting! They cannot deploy resources and manpower as needed. They are running from place to place trying to impact it, but they do NOT have the resources to stop that shit!
Let me add the fact that these people are killing themselves because they don't have jobs or money, no education, the politicians have cut back welfare and sad to say but they are trying to feed their families. Why don't you add some fucking services to these areas Mayor Daley and Aldercreatures instead of paying yourselves and taking care of your people only! If the middle class can barely eat, what do you think the historically poor are doing? They can't get the homeowners credit, etc. becuase they do not fucking own homes!
The last guy we arrested in 011 for a homicide told the truth, they are out here trying to survive!!! The truth is the truth, but the politicians are afraid of the truth!
Command Staff assigns Captains to the slowest districts on the second watch . These are the best , hand picked from CPD.
Lieutenants are assigned to first and third watch in the busiest districts .
Area Deputy Chiefs are aware of this problem . remember some District Commanders are Lieutenants and need supervision from Captains on second watch .
Off Topic. I would like to thank the off-duty cop who lives in my neighborhood for leaving his home Sunday morning at 3:45am and confronting some crazy looking guy from what could of been a vehicle theft or a breakin to a car parked near the corner at 55th Menard. I know his name but I know cops don't like their names on this blogger. Thanks officer K and hope to buy you a beer some day.
HE'S AS PHONEY AS A THREE-DOLLAR BILL...A TRUE POLITICIAN SUPT.
this whole dept. is phony, and corrupt.
Are those clout baby, ex-sup's kids and their ex-partners still working for the G? Take home cars, very little supervision, terrrrrrific hours. Anyone have a list of former sup babies and their tact buddies? Where are they now????????
Yeah, I am going to make sure I NETWORK in between calls. Who am I going to network with? I have no idea. Anybody got any suggestions?
What do you mean this job isnt legit??
Are you serious? Its based on who you know not WHAT you know?
I sent my resume to a unit and the first question was, you got a phone call?
OT: I saw myself in 35th. (my reflection in the mirror). I am a great guy and love the troops. Boy am I the real police and not a company man. Dugan's got nothing on me!
I know some of these guys on the "specialized" units and boy are they "special". They couldn't think themselves out of a wet paper bag. It truely is a joke. Look at some of the tact team hair gel boys who just got off probation and now they get to wear their hoodies. What the fuck do they know about leadership or being the police? All they can do are one rock dope cases and they walk around like they have a foot long dick. Ask them to do an accident report, write tickets or handel a domestic the right way and they become mush. Know or blow that is the way to get ahead in this department.
The lap dog would like everyone to layoff spectulating about the the phone call 16 hours before Scott kilt hisself.
I've got your back.
Bend over.
Can somebody, maybe Dugan or j-fed explain to me why there are cars from 025 being held down to babysit Haitian refugees @ NDHS for girls?? Aren't we short enough on manpower already??
So our taxpayers get even less service and police coverage, and these Haitians, who mind you are free to come and go as they please from NDHS for girls, get premium coverage?!?! Unbelievable!! How long before they disappear into the neighborhoods as more undocumented immigrants?
"Boy are those gang officers screwed! Every last one of them just lost their assignment to their respective districts. You are now at the whim of the department where they want to put you! But they still get to wear jeans! LMAO"
---shit I had a good spot in the 006th District, what happens to me if they can this unit? Oh shit, they might throw me somewhere in Area 2!!
Elite Troops My Ass!
Off Topic: Anybody catch that piece of shit Bloomberg suddenly reverse course and decide that Jihadist War Crimes trials shouldn't be held in NYC? Fuckin' douchebag! He was all for it til he realized how unpopular his buddy POTUS Hussein is becoming.
Watch for B.Hussein Obama to order Daley to host the trials here...close to the new Jihadist cages at Thomsen.
SCC, can you please make a thread out of this? On Friday, I attended my regular traffic room. There was a off duty PO who was there as a complainant on a ticket because he was struck by a vehicle on the way to work and was injured. The civilian who struck the officer's car was represented by OUR FOP ATTORNEY Tom Needham. He knew all along the officer was CPD and continually tried to badger the officer to no avail. Is this not a conflict of interest? Does FOP know or care who they let represent us and then stab us in the back later on?? Has this happened to anyone else in the past??

Right just like merit is legit now. These for the most part all clout spots. Who has actually gotten to a real unit without a phone call? They ask/ u at the interview who ur clout is.

You are right sir!
There are 25 Task Forces looking for applicants.
Yeah just like the SWAT Sgt's testing is all legit! RAY HAMILTON is pulling all the strings since him and his buddy MASTERS have JFed's ear. Ray will be the next SWAT coordinator and all thanks to Uncle JFed, silver bar too! You heard it hear first.
enough already, the officers on that order been there a year, this cleans the slate and will open bid positions you morons, do not always look for demons, we are all in this together, stop already
J.P. "Take Him Out" Weis is a lying vicious rat piece of shit.
I thought you read the budget book? gang teams were moved from patrol to ocd in the new budget four months ago, this is just actually doing that. better late than never...Schmitz talked to the teams about this. happy to be out of patrol and in ocd.
The Revenue Unit hasn't been a detail unit for over 3 years since the first time patrol was short handed and tru realized that detailed people to tru were also being detailed to ocd. Can eliminate the unit but more than majority have ten years. Not everyone will be sent to 03. Do you want to give up your beat car or watch at the next bid process? You're right about msf, nothing more than tru redone. The commander is a goof who hated tru but did everything that tru did at the beggining; the sweater police, ride around as a team, eat as a team, that nonsense. Time to slim it down a little.
Command Staff assigns Captains to the slowest districts on the second watch . These are the best , hand picked from CPD.
Lieutenants are assigned to first and third watch in the busiest districts .
Area Deputy Chiefs are aware of this problem . remember some District Commanders are Lieutenants and need supervision from Captains on second watch .

Can you say that again in English please?
O.T.
Looks like Bobby Lopez and crew is picking up steam with their new organization and Da Mayor can't do shit about it because of the religious and political ramifications. Bobby better get promoted with the next shuffling of the deck if the mayor and JFED knows any better.

I attended the meeting and there were a couple hundred people there. For those of you that didn't attend please try to be there next time. Next meeting is on the 17th of Februrary at FOP but for those of you attending while your "going to get gas" make sure you leave your radios in the car or try not to pose for pictures. Jeeze! Go Bobby!

Was sgt RG following him around like usual???
GEU's total arrests may be down, but that is for a reason. Many times I have heard people cry "all gang and tact do is lock up drinkers/pissers/cttl's!" Well guess what, now that we are out of patrol, the focus is more on QUALITY than QUANTITY. Of course the total number of heads went down, but I'd rather have 10,000 arrests that give out years, rather than 20,000 class C misdemeanors.
"The last guy we arrested in 011 for a homicide told the truth, they are out here trying to survive!!! The truth is the truth, but the politicians are afraid of the truth!"

Open bid positions for whom? For all those thousands of police officers waiting in the wings somewhere to transfer to a district? If the entire department is shorthanded and every district, save 007 and a few others, are operating under budgeted strength, then where are the officers coming from who will bid on your so called newly open bid positions?
You cannot fill 13,000 positions with 11,500 people, no matter how many new bid positions are created. You still come up short in the end.
There are NO new officers in the hiring pipeline to take any vacant positions! The paltry few in the academy now won't even cover the 55 plus year old officers who put in their retirement papers prior to Dec 31, 2009.
A reshuffling of the deck still results in a short deck. But the poster probably knew that when he called others moron. Sure he did.

Thats the point shit head. They have no future, have been taught to have no future, they live for no reason and prey on our families and our kids. That is the point exactly. If they do not know any better how can they do any better. The point was to get Mayor Daley and the Aldermen to put resources there to make sure these people get some guidance better than what they have for the past 3 generations. If stupid people like you don't push this agenda, they will continue to prey on our wives, our kids and our families! Idiot!
2/01/2010 05:09:00 AM
True over 200 are retiring and thats a fact! Not counting how many will be 63 and retired,and not counting how many 60-63 will retire! When the contrcat is finally settled how many more will be sick of the way this dept/city is being run and leave? Could be a watershed moment for cpd! All the while cfd is steadily hiring but we are not! daley really hates the police even his valets detest him but stay due to the high pay and lucrative pension!
Hey why not assign everyone to Homan Square then we can close the districts and save millions.
speaking of transfers:10th District Coppers ,be aware of the BatMan.hes rumored to be headed ur way after being ousted from 013 for stalking..allegedly being taken care of and hidden in a/4 dc office for the time being..
To all the posters out there bashing GEU....First let me say....I DO SYMPATHIZE with patrol...sincerely I do...you guys/girls ARE THE BACKBONE of this department..without a doubt..You are short handed...We as GES are doing a fantastic job....We have made over 8,000 arrests last year....written over 20,000 contact cards.....executed over 600.......YES 600 search warrants!!...taken over 900 guns off the streets....made 49 homicide arrests....more than ANY detective unit citywide...only detective division who has more homicide arrests than us is cold case....These are FACTS...anyone who would like to challenge these be my guest.I ask you...why the bashing? We are not a unit that has sat back and done nothing....there are our numbers....no bullshitting and no lies....show me a unit who has done more?? We have taken plenty of "bad" guys off the street and put them in prison....not just jail...prison! we have cultivated hundreds of informants....we have a network of invaluable resources for information....what are we doing wrong? We are working hand and hand with the detectives, tact teams, and districts we are in every day....We are not walking around like we are better than anyone...we are just out there doing a job EVERY day!! So to all of you bashers out there...mabye YOU should have jumped on the bus when you had the chance? We had a choice to stick with this or opt out...nobody forced us to do this...Now that we are out of patrol...we are the "bad guys" huh? I firmly believe that gang officers should always have been seperate from patrol and work closely with gang intel or narcotics....that just makes sense...we should NOT be a tact team....not because we are better than anyone else...but because we should be focusing ON GANGS ONLY..that's why we are called "gang officers"...For those of you who have been on this job more than a day....remember the real gang guys from Maxwell St? or the Gang Specialists..These guys were the BEST at what they did!! They ate, slept and drank GANGS!! You needed to know something about a particular person/gang...they knew it all!! We need that back..the only thing is they were dedicated to that...it was an art..a talent...not just a job..They did this job with their hearts..and that's what we are lacking today..forget the unions, the bosses, the contracts, these guys came to work every day because the loved what they did...HELL they would work for freee!! There are not too many guys left from that era...and for those of you who are and are reading this...you know what I am talking about. The "kids" of today simply don't give a fuck...they are too interested in bad mouthing eachother...they dont know when to keep their mouths shut and do their jobs...they whine about everything and how "this job is not fair"...GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK...you want everything but dont want to do anything...The guys from my era were from Vietnam...didn't have college education...hell some had ged's!! but they were THE BEST FUCKING POLICE OFFICERS you could ever have the pleasure of standing next to let alone work with!! I could name a laundry list of guys...coppers who would give their blood for eachother...and not cry about it..just do it because..that's what they did...they were police officers, NOT pussies. They were told to do something they did the job..no matter how much they didnt like it or how much they hated their sgt....they did it with NO QUESTIONS asked.So to all you bashers out there do your job and be proud of who you are...we are all in this together and need to stand tall....and yes I do work in GES and have been on this job for more than a day....and NO I am NOT BETTTER than anyone else....I just do my job.
Mr. Northsider,If you don't like the program we have a spot in 003 we need filled. You are dumped! Best of luck guys. Now go and get em!
Let me add the fact that these people are killing themselves because they don't have jobs or money, no education, the politicians have cut back welfare and sad to say but they are trying to feed their families. Why don't you add some fucking services to these areas
Are you fucking serious? Right, my tax dollars have gone to free crack and flamin' hots for these mutts since the 1960's and they still have nothing. Maybe because the entitlement culture breeds lazy do-nothings?
Spread more sugar, in come more ants.
Networking...Kiss ass, go to all the events, parties, retirements dinners, promotion parties, watch parties, etc, etc, etc, Now make a call..o wait i forgot lay a boss. that networking..
JPUD has always been lying through his teeth on his PAX 501 propoganda machine. He is worse than the Nazis in WWII. Nobody believes the shit he says on those emails. This guys one mission when he came was to fuck over as many cops as he could and implement all the Mayor's wishes (GPS, cameras) under the cloak of officer safety, and he is doing a good job at pushing the Mayor's agenda. If you dream about getting into a special unit and you have no clout, join a different police department because its business as usual on the CPD. GFU JPUD, Dugan and you fed wannabe cops.
EVERYBODY should click on the highlight to read the brief articles regarding j-fart trying to "take out" S.A. Wright by subverting and twisting the FBI's disciplinary process because he didn't like Wright telling it like it is about how the (F)amous (B)ut (I)ncompetent's dropping the ball and failing to follow-up on pre- 9/11 intel.
We know the story well but it is still appalling how such a vicious, loveless creature (for he/it is certainly without any remotely or redeemingly human quality) seems to thrive no matter where he/it migrates to.
To know this story is to know the true character of this mishappen, heartless beast.
j-fart's persecution of S.A. Wright was flat out treasonous. j-fart aided and abetted in the murders of over 3000 American citizens by trying to illegally silence a whistle-blower who was screaming bloody murder over the outrageous failure to defend the United States from it's enemies.
j-fart should swing for treason but somehow he parlayed potential disgrace into stealing a CPD Superintendent salary for three years and stealing a pension after his tenure is completed.
Mendacity and evil are rewarded well in Chicago.
ALL HAIL J-FART! POLICE HATER & POLICE PUNISHER EXTRAORDINAIRE!
Sic Semper Tyrannis?
That transfer order that transferred ~275 bodies to the Area Gang Teams means that whatever small chance there was that those officers would ever again help out in a district beat car are just about completely gone.
And it ends the budget charade as they are now no longer on the districts budgets, but the areas'.
And if/when they decide to replace you in that unit,(aka: dump you) you have no right to return to your original district, but anywhere they want to send you.
"Networking"
It means:
Fitting in, socially, with the others in the unit.And the unit itself.
Getting along with everyone.
Being a part of the team.
Cooperating.
..and make sure you buy tickets to every gathering. And show up. Make sure the boss sees you. Laugh at his jokes.
As long as you do the above, you will be OK....even if you couldn't find a felon in Stateville....
these comments about all these hair gel designer jean coppers reminds me of the first day i ever worked special at P.H.N.. working on a car together was ronnie steiben, charlie toussas and bobby skahill. i didn't know if i was at special or a lynrd skynrd concert. these guys were in uniform in a police station and i truly wasn't sure if they were really the police. a different era indeed.
The department is going to keep making up "elite" units until the only manpower left in the districts is the Commander's Office Staff (~20), Desk crew (~18), Desk crew lunch car(8), and Field Personnel (~25).
Last one, please turn out the lights...
"Thats the point shit head. They have no future, have been taught to have no future, they live for no reason and prey on our families and our kids. That is the point exactly. If they do not know any better how can they do any better."

Mr GEU (from the tone, obviously a Boss), these are stats over the entire time the Unit has been created and the bodies are gone from the Districts and those numbers are not correct. I took the time to run this shit, not to bash, but to bring light to the incompetence of CPD staff and the fact that because they set it up and it did not work, they will continue to do whatever they can to justify the action instead of correct it. If your numbers were so great, wouldn't that be the first thing your Commander and your Chief would have been posting about in both papers? THEY could not even get their stories straight.
The truth is that we need the bodies in patrol, not in units that are deployed where JPUD believes they should. Us tact guys need a fucking break and true assistance, so do the patrolmen I work with everyday. You guys ride in packs and when 1 arrest is made, the whole fucking team leaves the area and I don't know, watches one of you type while the rest watch the prisoner!! WTF!!! MSF and especially TRU does this also, though TRU takes it to another level. If they make an arrest, that is it for the night. No spreading out to tour an area, they are neck to neck, side by side.
All I am saying is we need to police the street and if you are making those kind of Detective Division arrests, you are not doing what you came out to do. It is their job to make those arrests, you are supposed to be infiltrating the gangs to STOP that means PREVENT the crimes so we won't have the bodies to clean up after you are gone! Great job on any arrest but we have been chasing our tails long enough. We love to find the bad guy and are good at doing it, but how about making an impact, not being a clean up guy!
Tell me what gangs have you effectively infiltrated or even impacted. NONE! Tell me how many shootings, gang fights, initiations or whatever you have prevented, well maybe some, but not enough to impact our overall numbers. We still ended the year close to our previous homicide rate (thanks to the doctors of cook county) and our Aggravated Battery stats were not that far behind the previous year, even though Jfed and crew continued counting an incident instead of the number shot! 10 shot in 1 incident means 1 Aggravated Battery. Come help us now and stop boasting on SCC.
these comments about all these hair gel designer jean coppers reminds me of the first day i ever worked special at P.H.N.. working on a car together was ronnie steiben, charlie toussas and bobby skahill. i didn't know if i was at special or a lynrd skynrd concert. these guys were in uniform in a police station and i truly wasn't sure if they were really the police. a different era indeed.
Same except Skahill wasn't even on the job yet. They put me on a car with those guys since i was just off probation and everyone else was partnered up. I had a great time and learned alot. Wish there were guys like that still out there so the new kids could learn the right way.

Why so bitter? Are you running from your past or angry no one gave you a hand? They have help for free for people like you.
I do believe the officer was trying to point out the reality of the situation. I don't want to spend any of my hard on money on shit heads either, but it is happening everyday in jails. I would rather me not have to worry about my family as they go to and from where ever in this city. One less criminal means one less victim. Are you to narrow minded to understand that?
12:19 pm
Ok, so stop living in the past. The A/3 GEU is NEVER in 024. I'll bet they couldn't tell you who's heavy with the Assyrians right now. Or who's apartment Fleming was in when they shot him? How can you gather gang intelligence if you are NEVER out here? You can't.
The best resource any gang/tact guy or girl could EVER have is the foot patrol guy. Then the beat officer. Then the Rapid officer and up the line. Yet you treat us like shit, can't stop and talk in the hall.
Keep deluding yourselves gentleman...its all legit. You can keep your insular little club. We'll keep making arrests and stopping crime. Keep your jeans.
Many in these "Elite Units" wanted to bail out.
With no District vacancies, and now assigned rather than detailed in, they are screwed.
To the guy who worked at P.H.N. Made me laugh. We used to call those guys the confederate army I worked in 018 and worked my special in North great guys lots of fun. Talked to B.S. the other day he is enjoying his retirement.
To Mr 2/02/2010 @ 5:50am....YES I am in GES Like I stated...You are obviously a detective??!!...and Sorry to burst your bubble little angry man...the numbers ARE correct....how exactly did YOU run them?? and "IF" you really did run the numbers.....which you did NOT DO...what did you come up with? You speak of A/3 GEU officers ...you must be one of the hard chargers from A/3 tact teams....you said it not me pal...I know that you are completely over run with crime in A/3...lots of homicides....lots of shootings....you poor guys/girls are certainly overworked!! Like YOU said....No time for that Frappachino or mani/pedi...too bad. You act like the sky is falling on your little world...Oh My, My, My...So what were those numbers again? and what are YOUR numbers where YOU work?? How many arrests have YOU personally made Superstar? I will bet you a paycheck that your PERSONAL numbers DO NOT compare to mine....Next time don't be so angry...JUST DO YOUR JOB. I wasn't attacking you or the patrol division...read my original post...but since people like you have to display their ignorance and blatant stupidity by launching an attack on me / us...have at it kid. Post YOUR numbers and I will post mine...can't lie...they are all in CLEAR...Let's see "IF" you have any balls?? I already know that answer too....have a great day kid.
Dear Blowjon Tact Man,
If you are so concerned about about your uniformed co-workers why don't u let then have your duck and you can answer their jobs
