Crime Down - Where's Our Contract?

  • Crime dropped 3.7 percent in January 2010 compared to January 2009, according to preliminary statistics released by Chicago police today.

    The homicide count was down 16 percent in the comparison of the two months.

    According to the police statistics, the violent crime index was down 9 percent, while the property crime index was down 2.2 percent.

If we're doing such a great job (and doing more with less), then it would seem to follow we are deserving of a rather significant performance based raise.

We don't see the garbage being picked up any faster - sometimes, they are even skipping a day or more. We don't see the buses running any better. We certainly don't see the school producing Nobel Prize winners recently. Only the police seem to be doing their jobs and stifling the criminal malfeasance that occurs on a daily basis. We'll take what the teachers and aldercreatures got and call it even.

Im a member of the chicago police departments mobile strike force. Ive got to say that I think the mobile strike force is the sole reason that crime in the city is down. Every night we saturate the worst parts of the city and lock up the bad guys. We arent the guys out writing regular people parking tickets, speeding tickets or duis. we get the guns and the gang bangers unlike the rest of the blue shirts out on the street. Supt weis made our unit just to reduce crime. Since we were formed crime dropped dramatically in 09 and is gonna be one of the lowest of all the big citys in 2010.

SCC said "The homicide count was down 16 percent in the comparison of the two months." Easy to do if you just take the body parts found around the city and call them "Daley Suicides". Yeah sure, suicides by self dismemberment should be a separate crime, like littering...

OT - While the City Council passed the Mayor's budget REQUIRING most city employees to take 15 unpaid furlough days a year, many Aldermen are declining to do the same. Here's the list of Aldermen's furlough days:

A bit off topic, but a must read.

Yes, they want to take over our Deferred Comp. You have to call your senators and tell them NO! These ass*oles have no shame.

It's not just Democrats and Obama who are in on this scam. It is also the Republicans. But oh they are so slick, the will go on the Sunday morning shows and claim their objections but then while in Congress they will do nothing/act like they tried to stop that bill.

Make no mistake, either Democrat or Republican, they all work for the same crime syndacite.

City Hall is simply looking for how few police officers they can get away with before the city erupts in flames. Frankly, with crime down, manpower down, and coppers bragging about how little they do, I don't think we're anywhere near bottom yet.

keep doing your job boys and girls, and like king daley says, "ask your neighbors, be lucky you have a job!" Why should they give us a contract and a raise since we have not had one in over 3 years... did the aldermen have to wait this long? or the mayors staff of knights? no just the police and fire... thanks king daley you and todd have made extremely afforadable to live in this cold , gray gang infested city...

Take a hint from todd, next election you may be on the outside looking in as well... However, I am sure first thing todd does is move out of crook county and I know your irish a*% will leave the mess of a city you created.

I don't know what Mike shields has to say but I do not believe this, even after the financial downturn.

The multiplier needs to be increased, the City has not increased this for many many years. We could probably kick in an extra 1% too. (I know, sacrilege)

If the fund does go bust, the City of Chicago is on the hook for our pensions. such a calamity would likely drive the City into bankruptcy and I don't know how that would work out.

This much is certain, if the pension fund goes kaput, there will be so much more wrong that it probably won't matter, the city will be on fire or something similar.

Vallejo, California is getting out of its pension obligations - filing bankruptcy.

Utah is trying to kill state pensions and will only pay those that are already in the fund.

Harrisburg, Pa. is looking at Bankruptcy to solve its pension and fiscal problems.

I , personally, will give the pension fund until 2022. After that, it will not exist.

As for " being on the hook"-- who? City?State?-- until some politically appointed judge rules against the pensioners.

old retired guy

The best is that everyone on the job is worried about their "retro" for what 5k-- and they are probably not concerned with their pension that is worth 750k.

By the way-- I could ride it out without a pension.
