Exempt Troubles Again

Another change in the offing?
  • Hey SCC,
    get your ears to the ground in the 011th District. Seems Henny Penny was named as an offender in a case report on Thursday night. Get going on this and give us the scoop.

  • Earthquake to hit the 011th district soon. After shocks in 007.
Amazing.

And the rumors continue that the Elton John fan, after dodging a supposed recommendation of termination, is headed back to Captain, but the beneficiaries of her largesse continue to hold high ranking positions in the exempt staff.

What the heck is wrong with this Department? Was it really this dysfunctional all the time? Or is the incompetency of the feebs and Harvard lawyers really bringing it to the fore?

Who's benefiting? They should mind their own business and keep their hands off her largesse! And, a largesse it is!

This was the last nail in hennys coffin and she will be put somewhere in the backround at 35th in charge of some b.s. unit... also, in the works for the past two or three weeks is brining commander kup who is in 008 back to 011 . he is formally of 011 and was told if he does this favor, expect to be rewarded for it since its a tougher job and who really would want to go from 008 to 011...pretty much, the guys got a rocket up his as* and is going up, but has to do this favor first. I guess the bosses know about the chaos and morale problem in 011 and want kup to bring 011 back to the way it use to be... I know its a pretty far fetched rumor but this is coming directly from a close source of Jimmy Jackson who is kups friend and was his boss for a while in 011... dugan and the rest of the crew is on board with the Idea.. I guess its just waiting J feds approval and the opportunity of finding a spot for penny.

It has always been this dysfunctional. The difference is it's not as easy to hide anymore thanks to outlets such as your insignificant blog.

twenty years ago it was messed up but at least you had bosses who had your back---- when a tavern went up for grabs the bosses would be right next to you going toe to toe.... a lot of good coppers are out there laying down because they don't want to get thrown under the bus---- twenty years ago you went out hunting and looking for trouble, now you avoid trouble....

Trahanas a named offender in a case report? Fucking priceless!

It had to be either for Impersonating A Police Officer of some derivation of Theft. Henny Penny should've been charged accordingly after cashing her first Sergeant's check, let alone that first Commander's check.

I hope someone gets their mitts on a copy of whatever type of report it is before it "disappears". After all, the meritcloutorious are good at taking care of their own when it's time to make shit like this go bye-bye. Ain't that right, Aunt Bea?

Too bad for some of these ultra-clouted fools there seems to be developing problems with this here-to-now excepted practice; a) - more and more disgruntled/shit-on coppers at all levels are willing to (and HAVE BEEN) talking with and providing information to various outlets and other "agencies", and b) - the almighty Gold Stars of today aren't smart enough to realize that it isn't 1970 anymore - bosses of yesteryear, they ain't.

So, to answer your question of "Was it (the Department) really this dysfunctional all the time?" Why yes, SCC, it has been dysfunctional all this time. It's only recently that the over-promotion of clout at all levels of the CPD, (not to mention every other city agency) has been coming home to roost in force.

There has always been bumps in the road, so to speak, of managerial incompetency backfiring and causing some sort of embarrassment to the CPD.
Only now the incompetency is rampant and the bump in the road is mountainous in stature.

Strap yourselves in, kids! We got front row seats to the greatest show on Earth. Personally, I hope this episode turns into a long-running series.

We've always had a few dysfunctional fools in the upper ranks, but it seems since WEISel/Masters hooked up, they're bubbling to the surface like body parts out at Burr Oaks. The WEISel/Masters/Daley administration of the CPD over the past two years will go down in infamy as a black toxic cloud that seemed to be never ending. 2011 can't get here soon enough, and with it the hope of some semblance of competent leadership, which everyone knows we're about as close to right now as Chicago is to China.

It's worse now with jfed in charge
Command staff stick together and keeping jfed out of the loop
he doesn't have a clue about all the hidden sworn officers in every district office
jfed wake up request copies of a full moth a& a sheets
any officer not assigned to a beat , rapid or tactical unit is an inside or phony foot patrol

when you discover how many more beat cars could be manned , some commander's heads should roll

beat officers may actually respect you if the front office and hidden officers are assigned to street duty
you have less than a year left

The dept must be fresh out of black capts and lts to replace Trahanas, huh?
Anybody would be an improvement over her though.
What don't they bring back Eric Washington? No hispanic reverneds got his back?

The GOCR is for threatening phone calls and it was generated by an IAD Sgt.

Basically, she's dating a guy who "works for the post office" (intra-dept post office-wink, wink). Dude breaks things off, she wants things to continue. Over the course of a few days this past week she called her Ex-lover 15 plus times. The messages go from "baby-baby" to "I hate you-I Hate You- I HATE YOU!!!" No real problem yet-right?

Here is where she is fucked: She threatens him with messing with his job AND.... she leaves some damning v.m. messages on his answering machine about not being the real police and only a "mailman" and then she says she gonna fuck with him on the v.m. Anyway, the mailman always delivers and he did, he brought his answering machine to IAD who initiated a GOCR & CR#.

LOL!

Time for Jody and Masters to step up and show us something! Show us all how you punish everyone equally.

I hope the mailman follows up with and Order of Protection because she does have a gun. Maybe this middle aged woman might go so crazy she kills her Ex-lover and who would deliver the mail?

I pray and hope we get kup back. He was a great captain and will bw welcomed back with open arms here in 011. He need a boss like him in 011 and would be a great change of pace. The only reason I see this not happening, is that the westside leaders and revs would never want a whit guy in charge of 011. But hope they give the coppers in 011 what we want and not cater to the trash loud mouths in this district.

No chance they would put Kup in 11, the only obvious reason is that he is white...The reverends hold to much power, and they would never allow it. Also if they put him in there you are saying any qualified black candidates are assholes, which isnt true, but that is how it would be perceived.
Let's just give the Upper Mgmt a few clues, leave off the list, Capt James Jones from 005 and Lt Marc Moore from 4.
If you are looking for a guy who respects the troops how about Eric Washington,oh wait you dumped him already because you pussies let outside people dictate your decisions.

The only problem with bringing back Kup is he's white. He's a great guy but if you notice all district commanders reflect the color of the people in their district. Kup is cursed with white skin. Until 011 gets more yuppified it will stay black. The Starbucks shut down and the housing boom has stopped so I don't think he'll be there anytime soon. Too bad though.

011 won't have a white commander so don't waste your breath on this rumor, the reverends and Alderman won't stand for it whatsoever. The problem they have is finding a black boss to promote, most of them are already in Command positions or c.o.s of units etc. they never should have dumped Washington; I hope he is laughing hard at them everyday.

don't think it was this dysfunctional all of the time...seems like J-Fed has gone out of his way to promote incompetent and politically connected people. It looks like there are similarities between politics and the CPD; there are many good, honest, and decent folks who would make good politicians, but because of the nature of the business, they won't participate, leaving us with second and third rate politicians. Likewise, there are some lts. and capts. who would make good bosses, but wouldn't touch a command spot with a ten foot pole, in an incompetent and politically corrupt administration, leaving the CPD with second and third rate bosses...

Word is that Henny Penny 011 Commander(NOT FOR LONG) is named in box 41 on a 2820- TELEPHONE THREATS/DOMESTIC RELATED INCIDENT.
Seems Henny Penny got dumped by her PO BF and is not a happy camper. Seems she left several not so nice messages on her X-BF's voice mail letting him know how unhappy and displeased she was about being dumped and how she would make his life miserable on CPD.
Let this be a lesson to all. DONT DATE AN EXEMPT! Just proves J-fed has picked only the WORST and LEAST QUALIFIED to lead the CPD.
Time to strip her and send her to call back just like a PO would be if they were accused of such stupidity.

Good bye henny Penny. We are planning your party and will let you know how well it was the day after.

The sad thing is when we put our business out in the open so others can laugh and judge, so really, who is really the puppet and who is really pulling the strings. This guy has been trying to make Sergeant for years and thought he was entitled to it because of who he dated. I think he was using her from the beginning. You also know darn well he is not afraid of her or would think she would do anything to him. As time goes on, the truth will come out and as bad as I would love to rag on her for this one, I think she was set up and is the true victim here. Just wait, you will see.

Does any of this sound FAMILIAR??


PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia school police officers know they have a risky job - calming tough hallways, patrolling dangerous blocks, responding to middle-of-the-night break-ins.
But they didn't bargain for vehicles that could put them in harm's way, they say.
Most of the district's 412 officers are stationed in and around city public schools, but 50 are on roving, 24-hour patrol throughout the city. They're mobilized when incidents happen inside and outside district buildings, and are responsible for night watch.
But union officials and some officers say the patrol cars they drive are problem-plagued, with malfunctioning air bags, flashing check-engine lights, leaking fluids, bad tires, inoperable turn signals, and other issues.
"The vehicles are unsafe, and, additionally, the poor quality of the vehicles impedes these officers from doing their jobs," said Bob Bedard, a spokesman for the school police officers union. "Duct tape is the only thing holding some of these cars together."
District officials refuted that, saying they dedicate a separate garage with eight mechanics to the district's non-bus fleet, including the 46 school police cars.
"We will not release a car out to the fleet that is not safe, period," said Fernando Gallard, a Philadelphia School District spokesman. "We are aggressive in maintaining our cars."
Some cars are more than 10 years old and have high mileage, he said. "We keep a fleet as long as we can," Gallard said. "We want to save money for the taxpayer." Michael Lodise, head of the School Police Association of Philadelphia, said he first brought the issue to the district's attention last year and has had "numerous meetings" on the condition of the cars. He said he was told the district has fallen behind on its replacement schedule for financial reasons.
James Golden, district security chief, said that although it hasn't bought new cars annually, the district was not behind on its replacement schedule.
The cars "run 24-7," Lodise said.
"They're always on the road. You put the officers in danger when your vehicles are not properly maintained," he said.
There are some newer vehicles in the fleet, officers said, but they're reserved for supervisors. "They're denied to the people who go out and do the most dangerous patrol jobs," Lodise said.
Golden confirmed that the newest cars are given to supervisors.
"It's a way that we rotate our fleet. Because of the 24/7 patrol function, you put a brand-new car into the fleet and you get less longevity out of it," he said.
On a recent day, School Police Officer Michael Alvaro hit the road for his patrol shift in a GMC Jimmy with its front bumper hanging off and check-engine light on. The car wouldn't come out of second gear, Alvaro said.
"I asked for a new car, and was told I couldn't have it," said Alvaro. "They don't understand that this is my office for eight hours." Alvaro, a district officer for the last nine years, has twice been brought up on disciplinary charges for car-related issues, he said. He's accused of deliberately damaging vehicles and arguing with a supervisor about the condition of cars, he said.
He's innocent and has been targeted because he's outspoken, he said.
Alvaro and others have been trapped in cars whose locks have malfunctioned, Lodise said. Cars go out with electrical problems and brake lights on, with holes in the floor and seats that won't move.
"We had an officer who got in an accident and hit the median on I-95, but his air bags never came off," Lodise said. "They malfunctioned. He was banged up pretty good."
District officials insist the fleet is safe, if not pretty.

Dear HATER,
get rid of those negative vibes, enjoy what you are witnessing in this day and age. There is a lot of comedy going on these days. This department is not perfect, never was and never will be. Next time you confront a supervisor love them to death, this will scare the shit out of them and that is a lot more fun than hating.

Yeah give her a break. Years ago I got accused by a girlfriend who was a po. Yep they gave me a break all right. Made the papers,got talked about by those I thought were friends,got the old put on the medical "nobody will know" sent to the shrink and all sorts of other good stuff. Well produced my caller ID and my phone messages even went so far as to prove I was out of state when she said I was stalking her and scaring her to death. Proved it was all a lie, shrink said I was fine and wondered why she wasn't there instead. But the Department especially certain female members helped the lying psycho despite the evidence and went out of their way to ruin my career. Learned a lot about the job, who were my real friends and how Domestic Violence could be used against you by some sick evil person especially a cop. So give Penny a break, no way she was one of the female's who helped the psycho. KARMA'S a bitch Penny what goes around comes around. Hope she gets dumped and 30 pending, just give me a good address to send the sympathy card to.

No voicemail no witness nothing. Nontheless the judge issues an emergency O.P. against me.

I take a certified copy to HQ and am told I still can't work on the streets or in callback. About a month later at the hearing she drops it's. I have all the evidence she has none except her lie. The dep't was nice enough to send a P.O. who I was told works for something like the domestic violence advocacy unit or something who is telling my ex "don't drop this" and an O.P.S member to monitor the hearing.I got none of my time back.

"We've always had a few dysfunctional fools in the upper ranks, but it seems since WEISel/Masters hooked up, they're bubbling to the surface like body parts out at Burr Oaks."

It's Tricky Dick Daley orchestrating the destruction of the department.

In the past there were a few goof bosses here & there, but there also were some good ones that kept those dopes in check.

Now Tricky Dick brings in an outsider, someone who doesn't know anyone and (obviously) can't tell the good from the bad. He's also someone who's never been the police (but thinks he looks damn good in that uniform, kinda like an airplane pilot, but that's another story...).

To "assist" J-Fed in deciding the "Who's Who" of the department is Tricky Dick's guy, Mike Masters. Another uniform-wearing-wannbe.

J-Fed brings in his own entourage of non-police and what do you get?

A formula for the destruction of the department, and it will be rebuilt just the way Tricky Dick wants it, without any "interference" from the old guard, the ones who actually helped us keep this place together.

So as R.E.M. sang, It's the End of the World as We Know it.

It's true. Ralph C. was forced out as well...as was Rosebrock
(019), Helm, Shields and a few others. Anyone who failed to
kiss Weis's (what I should have said is Masters's) ass wound up bounced out. Hopefully, as the door of headquarters bounces off of WEISel's enormous head, a few of the demoted will wind up back in the game of restoring some sense of respectability to what has become the largest urban laughingstock PD in the entire USA. We're about as bad as San Francisco, where their city council voted against providing tasers as a less-than-lethal law enforcement tool.

Give me a F&%kin break! In case you all have forgotten when merit Sgt Penny was assigned to A/5 Detective division she was the "Domestic Violence Liason Sergeant". Of course she was incompetent and had no business being in the Det Div in the first place. Nevertheless, she and her equally incompetent sidekick were supposed to be "liasoning" on behalf of the victims of domestic violence. Evidently, she didn't bother learning anything about the subject back then. Now it appears she is such a complete F@$cking moron she leaves multiple threatening VMs clearly violating ILCS laws, CPD and City of Chicago policies, the general orders, state and federal employment laws not to mention a gross abuse of power, misuse of her department position and the rules governing bringing discredit to the department and impeding the depts goals and objectives. So, let me get this straight. You want us to sympathize with this disgrace to all women on the job because her jocker was only "using" her. If this slob was doing that pig Penny for years I think he should get a gold star just based on his dedication to purpose. Poor fool had to suffer that ignorant racist beast for years and all he got was the mail car? When he finally gives up on his degrading and disgusting mission for advancement his enormous hog ball sporting exempt ex threatens to ruin his career. I hope he sues the department and her. May he get her for a few hundred thousand in punitive damages. Amen!

Penny also made Lt. on her score.
And no, this is PT, but someone who has worked with her in the past. Most of us who read and post here have enough experience to know a lot of this domestic "order of protection" stuff is all BS, "I'll show you" stuff. Any one of us could be caught up in the same mess, either by a lover, significant other, even a spouse. It's tragic that so many people are actually enjoying this ugliness playing out in the various media outlets. Let's not forget that whether you like her or not, save judgement for the courts. It would have to be humiliating for any of us to have to turn ourselves in to a Detective Division and go through the pictures/prints/IR# procedure.
Let's hold off on showing the public, and the MEDIA, how crass we treat our own, ok? Because if we can't do any better than what I've seen posted here, than a whole bunch of us are no better than WEISel, Masters, and the rest of the Mayor's lackeys who have caused our once proud Dept. to implode from within.
