Cheapening Awards
Remember when awards used to mean something?
- OT - I heard the Policy Group is receiving a Department Commendation for the recently published Legal Handbook. The irony of this travesty - a former ASA wrote the darn handbook with no input from the Policy Group.
It looks like meritorious Sgt. picks are coming up soon. Is this an attempt to justify the upcoming promotions of the Policy Group? On paper a Department Commendation is a Department Commendation. This job is so legit, yeah right!
We know, we know, it's been this way for years. But once upon a time, a majority of the DC awards were actually awarded for police work, not makey-work or paper-work. Now they make up awards so the anointed have something to wear like the "Attendance Recognition Award" or a DC for pamphlet-making. Old-old-timers claim it started to go overboard with the 1996 Democratic National Convention pin that everyone got. Other people say the CAPS ribbon bar was the beginning of the downfall. We assume it got its start when everyone started to get "participation" trophies and gold stars in grade school, middle school and college.

Precisely. Devalue everything and lower all standards to the lowest common denominator. Nothing but 'appearances' matter anymore.
When do I get my "I survived the J-Fed era without getting fired or indicted" ribbon
Seriously, where did this Karen B. come from originally? I mean who sponsored her to weisal saying shes the one you need to change this department?
Mediocrity at its finest!!!!! Promote that man, I say!!!!
I thought no promotions this year?
Bullseye!
It was thei way of justifing promotions for their do-nothing clout clowns. Give them a bunch of ribbons so they look like Admirals in the Bolivian Navy.
I went to an award ceremony once. I saw a DC given out for a PSMV arrest. I friggin' PSMV. I sorry but what the hell. Aren't those just good enough for an Honorable? Shit, PCS is a felony too. How about DC's for rock cases!
I have two of these ribbons and they fit nicely in the back of my locker. People who like wearing ribbons can wear them at their own folly. Most of us know which ribbons count. We also have hero's in this department who have never received a ribbon or award. I am greatful to know of two of these individuals. Even without these awards these two officers continue working honorably for this department.
This would not shock me. Its the way the 35th works. J-fed's policy group members will all get merit someday. They know nothing about police work but will be bosses. It's not fair but they will make up awards to justify the merit pro mo's. The policy group worships J-fed and in return they will get made.
they still have caps--- what do they do other than bullshit citizens and work 4 hour days....
Eight goofs from the Training Academy have submitted themselves for the Superintendent's Award of Merit for teaching Search and Seizure classes. Isn't that their job with weekends off? WTF!
Speaking of, a tact team in 019 received an honorable for getting an upgrade on a shoplifter that was handed off to them by store security.
An honorable for doing their job? What's next, Honorable for showing up to work or proper penmanship?
Someone with some knowledge of law should go over that handbook with a fine tooth comb.
It is chock-full of errors!
There is a 2010 Crime Reduction Award coming out. Seriously, this is no joke. However, anyone caught wearing the 2005 Crime Reduction Award or Attendance Ribbion is a joke.
I for one am against the "everybody gets one" awards, and will not wear one. That being said, there are a number of people griping about people getting awards for "doing their job." Last time I checked virtually every award was for doing our job. I have a dc for clearing a large burglary pattern- my job. I have a lifesaving award for going in and getting people out of a fire before CFD arrived, again- my job. It is unfair that what gets an award in some districts gets little more than a nod in others, but that's no reason to dismiss those who get an award for carrying out their duties with courage and professionalism.
the bimbos and bobbleheads in policy group dont have enought time to make sgt but they can pad their ressumes for future units (wink wink) with bs awards in between shopping or appearing on tv but look for ray ray to make swat as a LT
Rumor has it that JFed may be up for an award as a result of his brilliant leadership during the "Battle of Marshfield"
The downslide started years ago when they passed out unit commendations to PPO's directing people to the toilets at the original Chicagofest.
I THINK IF U WANT TO WERE YOUR AWRDS WEAR THEM.IF U DONT,DONT.OTHER COPS SHOULD MIND THEIR BUSINESS,WHO CARES ,YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO.I LIKE TO GO INTO TO W/CS OFFICE WITH MY 4 ROWS WHEN HES MERITORIOUS AND ONLY HAS THE DEM NAT CONV AND CRIME RECUCTION ,NOT EVEN 50 HONORABLES.IT MAKE IT A JOKE TO CORRECT YOUR PAPER.BUT I AGREE SLOWER DISRICTS GET EM 4 OVER 30 GRAMS OF WEED.I WORKED WITH A GIRL WHO GOT ONE FOR RECOVERING THE MOST UNOCCUPIED STOLEN CARS.
Labels: dumb ideas
Nuff said
how about some ideas for new ribbons, like "cut and run", or "hope and change" (with a small donkey in the middle), "worked a year and did nothing", "office housecat", "bullshit missions completed", "most event numbers"....
what about the tact team in 019 whose sergeant writes them all up for honorables on all the holding offender shoplifters? One car gets the person that some security guard caught. Then that car does paperwork and puts the ENTIRE team on the arrest. Then the sergeant put the whole team in for an honorable... Times are really sad when you get awards for processing paperwork
New award the "yellow stain", the first recipient will be weis.
It actually goes back to the Mike Bilandic years, when a politically connected Sergeant received a D.C. for handling the timekeeping records at Chicagofest, we couldn't believe it. It made you think why should I bust my ass for this, it aint legit.
2 stroke Caps guys in 009 got DC's for setting up the old station for the 70th anniversary by hanging fucking pictures and powerwashing the goddamn sidewalk.
This job is filled with a multitude of jerkoffs proudly displaying ribbons they dont deserve, while the guys getting banged up in fights with bad guys and making the arrests to put guys in the penitentiary get the shaft.
These people need to take a real serious look in the mirror and ask themselves if they really are the police or just some do nothing jerkoffs so far up some bosses ass they would give up dignity for a promotion.
Eight goofs from the Training Academy have submitted themselves for the Superintendent's Award of Merit for teaching Search and Seizure classes. Isn't that their job with weekends off? WTF!
***********************************
Are u fucking serious? Give me a break!
any first year law student could have put that thing together by cutting and pasting from Westlaw. Does not deserve a DC
this is nothing new ... a daughter of a commander received a DC for recovering a hot car with no occupants in 019 back in '86 ... and that goof Townsend was her chinaman ... Townsend ... now there was a real softball

..What's next, Honorable for showing up to work or proper penmanship?
4/05/2010 02:56:00 AM
There is an Attendance Award but with automated reporting the Penmanship Award will never be...
I got a Honorable Mention for finding a stolen car parked on the street . WTF
How about the obama night ribbon? heard that was in the works. What a joke.
The dumbing down of this department.
It's another "who you know" factor. Investigations with multiple search warrants with over 125 legit felony arrests with convictions don't constitute anything anymore. If you don't ask your merit sgt for something you don't get it. You're lucky if your sgt or lt give a verbal atta boy. The idiots in charge don't recognize good police work.
Seen a DC given to a WC and a few CAPS peons for organizing a basketball tournament. Christ.
Still the best was when the Ex-commander in 003 was wearing her award upside down in her department photo
How about a SSC pin? As a dedicated reader I think we should get our award. Discuss among yourselves and regroup...
To 4.00am, Why is wearing the 2005 crime reduction ribbon or attendance ribbon a joke? Are you a medical roll abuser? Were you faking an injury during 2005 that made you ineligible for the crime reduction ribbon? Went on the medical too many times to recieve the attendance ribbon? I say if you worked in 2005 and the dept. is claiming great work by its member then one should were it proudly. Secondly not only should people who have not hit the medical in three years get that attendance award they should get a monetary cash bonus for saving the city money and having the manpower to operate enough beat cars. So go fuck yourself goof!!
I looked it up in the automated awards and sadly, this is true.
This would not shock me. Its the way the 35th works. J-fed's policy group members will all get merit someday. They know nothing about police work but will be bosses. It's not fair but they will make up awards to justify the merit pro mo's. The policy group worships J-fed and in return they will get made.
4/05/2010 02:23:00 AM
They will never be bosses. These goofs threw in with the wrong crowd. The day Weis moves on Karen B. and the rest of them will have a very hard landing. It will be fun to watch, but it will never undo the damage they've caused.
How about the stroke 023 3rd Watch who prances around wearing his awards on the street but no vest! I don't know whats worse looking at the awards he didn't earn or listening to his fake 011 district stories.
The Only award that matters is the Lambert Tree. All others are who you know. I know a PO who got a life saving award for holding open the front door for the Fire Dept who did a rescue. Years ago me and my partner caught a murder running from the scene. He still had the victims blood all over him. Didn't even get a honorable for that one.
1968 vet says...
Yes, times have certainly changed.
Originally, in order to get a DC, back then anyway, there almost had to gunfire to be considered.
If there were 'more than two' (piling on) listed as the recipients, your chances were lessened as well.
Over the years the rules were relaxed, clout played more of an important role than 'merit' (NOT the term merit as we know it today, that is) and those in charge eventually cheapened the award. It was a slap in the face to everyone who deserved and was denied and/or those who received the same award (i.e. DC) while others did as well, for something totally undeserving.
Added to the disgrace is the fact that as a Sgt., I had to complete and submit your CR# within 30 days (or else) but yet you had to wait sometimes two (2) YEARS or longer to get your award.
Yes, in many instances the award(s) were cheapened, not properly awarded for a whole host of reasons but...
I am very sincere when I say that in my 40 years on the CPD, I've worked arm-in-arm with some of the "Finest Coppers in the Nation." Despite all our present day problems and concerns, I'm truly proud to having been a member of the, 'Greatest Fraternity on Earth.'
Each and every one you remain in my heart, thoughts and prayers.
Stay safe my brothers... stay safe.
Ol' vet (r)
OT:
I would like to meet John Northen, shake his hand and buy him the drink of his choice. This is a man that deserves an award for going to bat for his fellow Cops, even though he is retired.
It has always been this way if you work in a northside district and recover a car you get a ribbon. On the southside if you make a murder arrest you don't get shit.
My reward is a Freddy Mercury mustache. I wear it proudly like the red badge of courage. It's my silent protest against jody.
Still waiting for my "Survived 10 Years of Retirement Award" but the mail is slow. It Should be arriving any day now and I will wear it with pride. Glad to be gone!!!
What's an award?
WTF!!!
Have a shooting - receive a DC.
Catch two armed robbers in progress - nothing.
Get hurt on the job - have an outside firm tell you to wait a year for surgery.
I have 20 years left J-Fed. Enjoy the South side, and West side. You're creating one hell of a police department.
I remember reading about a DC for a handfull of coppers from a southside district for organizing a food drive. it was a couple of years ago around Christmas. Anybody else know if this?
Where's my O'bama election award? LOL!!!!
When do I get my "I survived the J-Fed era without getting fired or indicted" ribbon
4/05/2010 12:20:00 AM..
Yeah really, good one.

4/05/2010 09:26:00 AM
I'm for it!! I will wear it proudly with my KMA club member pin and Murder Capital of the World pin. Right now I just need a little more humor to make it bearable.
PS money for pins goes to fallen copper's families.
In a few days I will receive my 3yr. retirement ribbon. I am waiting with bated breath. I do hope they send it UPS as the Post Office is just a precursor to our new health care system.
old retired guy
How about a "Blue ribbon" dining/buffet award for time served in the best restaurants downtown?
Did I miss something or do you get a bonus or a raise with these awards?
If not, stop getting your drawers in a bunch. At the end of the day if you are a good cop or a bad cop people will know it regardless of how many ribbons you have.
You got jack-offs like Huberman running the bd of ed. What credentials does he have that would qualify him to run his system? Nothing other than someone pulling Shortshanks strings and telling him (not asking him) to put him in that spot. Someones got some powerful shit hanging over his head and I wonder who and just what it is.
Dugan is a bear to get awards past as is Dana.

Who is this "Karen B" from 35th street everyone keeps talking about? Is she someone important?
What? Honorable for a shoplifter I do that crap everyday in 003 come on what a joke... O and by the way we do have a Honorable for showing up to work this is my second yr getting one. But guess what I didn't get one for my homicide offender .

Rumor has it that JFed may be up for an award as a result of his brilliant leadership during the "Battle of Marshfield"
Bravo Office!
What's the big deal SOS narcotics guns and other specialized units have been getting that trumped up unit meritorious ribbon for years even the cute house Moises would get them. Tact teams get ribbons for every little thing
There's also like 3 ribbons available for community policing.

Don't jam yourselfs up by following it.
IT IS FULL OF ERRORS!
For example:
page 8:
"Courts look at whether a reasonable person would believe that they were not free to leave after inquiry by the police.
THAT IS THE DEFINATION OF SEIZURE NOT ARREST.
page 9
"A police officer who has reasonable suspicion to beleive that a vehicle contains a weapon may search the vehicle:
THAT CONFUSES TWO LEGAL STANDARDS.
page 11
"Although rare, exigent circumstances allow the officers to make unannounced entry."
WHEN ARE EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES RARE?
page 13
"A felony arrest warrant gives a police officer the right to arrest the defendant not only in a public place but also in hes or her home (not the home of another)."
ANY ARREST WARRANT ALLOWS A POLICE OFFICER TO DO THIS - NOT JUST A FELONY ARREST WARRANT.
There are more errors - go ahead and find them.
put your awards on your reefer or blouse, wear them on your uniform when you are the defendent in a lawsuit or testifying in an important case
We are worrying about the BS awards while real cops do work! LoL the city is crumbling like a lill debbie. DETROIT here we come
The Only award that matters is the Lambert Tree.
Your wrong many have received this award who didn't earn it. No award is legit on this department.
J-Fraud is in for the coward of the month. Pink with a yellow stripe.
You silly non clouted whiners annoy me.
I am the Three Time Winner of the Richard Breczek "Law Enforcement Sworn Clerk of the Year Award".
I have been awarded the "Hanhardt" six times for the number of mobbed up burglaries I cleared with little effort on my part.
Twice I won the "Rodriguez" for my ability to cuddle up to mob figures and still keep my exempt position.
I am up for the department's newest award the coveted "Abbatte" for sworn member who brings publicity to the department.
I have three "Rugai" awards and the merit promotions to prove it.
I am also one of two finalists for the "Phil Cline" given for physical fitness and best moustache.
Meet me over in Summerdale for the Awards Ceremony in two weeks. The MC for the evening will be Ed Vdrolyak. Ed Burke will be on the piano. Catering will be done by Old Country Buffet(thank you Phil Cline. Hookers will be provided by Sheriff Tom Dart and the CCSPD.
You guys are just jealous.
True Story..... Look up awards based out of the Training Academy -Unit 124. They are getting Honorable Mentions for working the friggin' St. Pats Parade. Really? Are you serious? What a Joke. Also, the Range Guys are getting all kinds of Recognition Awards and Unit Meritorious Awards for putting together and teaching the M4 course. Ummm.... Isn't that your job while being assigned to the Range? Does that mean I can get one for writing a parking ticket? And its true they are putting themselves in for an award for doing their job... Teaching a Search and Seizure class. Btw, alot of the awards, not all are generated bt the hard-charging meritorious Sgt. on the range D.B. Talk about cheapening the meaning of these awards for actual hardworking coppers, and not clout heavy house mouses. Way to go guys!!!

The Crime reduction pin is a joke and I hope your post is too. If you are serious then you are a Joke.
There is a female Sgt in 18 that got a D.C. for doing a lesson plan while she was an instructor in the academy. Must of been a good class.
I, as many of my teammates, and I'm sure numerous other officers in this city have been getting D.C.'s and other awards in the police mail. I would bet a paycheck that there will be a ceremony and all of these hacks will be there to pick up their 1st D.C. What a scam! To the many officers who have been in shootings, recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in narcotics, cleared up patterns, where you would be proud to have your family be there for such a prestigious award, thumb your nose at the establishment and remember who we do this for. We do it for the pride of being "THE POLICE", not for the suckhole awards, but it is nice to be remembered once in a while.
Yhey have to do something so thes bosses can have some ribbons on their chest. Take a look sometime. The most decorated officers are in patrol pushing a beat car.
I think its smart for a sgt to give his guys an honorable ,even if its B S ,if it keeps his people happy.I know alot of sgts who are too lazy to write one.The worst are the sgts who dont have any so dont write them. lets face it the only award that matters is the one with the little phone on it,for those who dont do shit make a phone call and make meritorious whatever. We all know the workers from the paper jumpers to the guys from 016.017.018,019 and so on that get one for eveything.there are even the guys who write there own .In the end give me my fuckin raise.Bill Cozi a great proud police officer/armed forces,with all kinds of awards .Look what that did for him.If you earned them and you know it ,be proud of it.If your a dog and dont have any awards fuck yourself
Karen B to narcotics soon. All blueshirts should beef about the phone call...Right JFed... no more moves like this. LoL Please how many dope arrests has she made in the last 2 years. Btw working stiffs keep working for NOTHING!!!! You will get No where on this job or maybe even hurt sued or killed.
"Gotta go" pin would be a hit.

I'm not the original poster, but you irked me newbie. Your comment speaks volumes of why this department is so fucked, thanks to the entitlement generation. Going on the medical was considered the pussified way out. Nobody went on the medical for any reason. Never ever. Not one day, not one year. Nobody went on IOD unless they were shot and on a ventilator.
What someone else wrote was correct. DCs were only considered in a blaze of gunfire. It didn't matter how many officers worked on a case, only two names went on the DC. Some had to suck it up, and nobody cared if it was they didn't get it, because nobody cared about awards. The job was fun and we would have done it for free. Starting salary at $6800 a year was practically for free.
What also cheapened today is that DCs were actually rejected often back in the day. Now they approve everything. Recall this, 016 Caps officers got a DC for best halloween decorations in the station for the kids.
I was there that day, at the Battle of Marshfield. A warm day, as I remember it. Gotta Run became every man's battlecry. So, we all ran and followed Him, all the way to Starbucks for a Latte. What a glorious day it was!

Really, getting huffy about a 5 year old bullshit award. And then this person has the nerve to call someone else goof?
Fuck you jerkoff. Shove your silly awards right up your tight ass.
Senior citizen officer in 019 got a DC for organizing bus trips of seniors going to a casino. No joke. I don't know if she also got a head count kickback for each senior she brought into the casino.
"Secondly not only should people who have not hit the medical in three years get that attendance award they should get a monetary cash bonus for saving the city money and having the manpower to operate enough beat cars. So go fuck yourself goof!!"
YEAH ESPECIALLY ALL THOSE OFFICERS THAT HAD THE AUDACITY TO CONTRACT TERMINAL CANCER,HEART ATTACKS BRAIN ANUERYSMS & MANY OTHER LIFE ALTERING DISEASES. THE NERVE OF SOME PEOPLE HUH? GFY SIDEWAYS JAGOFF!!
The "DC" isn't worth the paper it's printed on anymore! Just look at headquarters that ruined that too. They dish em out like cards at a poker tournament!. A "Department Commendation" for two-year wonders playing with computers or Blackberries? UN-FUCKING BELIEVABLE!

You're borderline illiterate and you should never give out advice to any police officer.
1.)"Courts look at whether a reasonable person would believe that they were not free to leave after inquiry by the police.
THAT IS THE DEFINATION OF SEIZURE NOT ARREST.
A seizure and an arrest are the same thing. If you are taking freedom you are arresting them. Have you ever been to a motion before?
2.)page 9
"A police officer who has reasonable suspicion to beleive that a vehicle contains a weapon may search the vehicle:
THAT CONFUSES TWO LEGAL STANDARDS.
No it doesn't and you are flat out wrong and a danger to yourself and your partners. Stop working the street or quit.
3.)page 11
"Although rare, exigent circumstances allow the officers to make unannounced entry."
WHEN ARE EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES RARE?
Do yo know what exigent means? The page you are referring to is under search warrants. You are always supposed to announce your office when doing a search warrant unless there is a special, pressing reason not to or you have a no knock warrant.
4.)page 13
"A felony arrest warrant gives a police officer the right to arrest the defendant not only in a public place but also in hes or her home (not the home of another)."
ANY ARREST WARRANT ALLOWS A POLICE OFFICER TO DO THIS - NOT JUST A FELONY ARREST WARRANT.
Once again you are wrong. Page 13 is in telling police officer that if a subject has a Felony Arrest Warrant(not an arrest warrant) he can kick in the door of his subjects crib. You can't go busting into dudes crib for a dopw warrant you got.
I have no stake in the book either. I just know this guy is an idiot.

Bullshit. What sgt? I never heard of a D.C. for a lesson plan.
We took a meritcloutorious exam yesterday in my trade. Imagine that 1/3rd of the test focused on subject matter favorable to one person. The majority of technical information for my trade wasn't even touched on.
Just give sonny boy his meritcloutorious foreman job....he'll fit in with the rest of the northwest side nitwits.
We (Working Police), have been shit on numerous times, getting axed out of getting an award for legit, good Police Work above and beyond what was expected. We all know it. I wear the Dem. Convention Ribbon for a reason. Ask me and I'll be happy to tell you why, and the others that I don't wear. No war story's just the truth.
Revolver Police.
Those officers who did not earn their awards, deep down inside know that. If it doesn't play on their minds then shame on them. They remind me of those people who fake their military accomplishments, I think it has been labeled "stolen valor." Deep down they feel inferior, so they think they have to walk around looking like a South American General. It's all bullshit, we know the who the workers are, and if they wear their awards, fine. But you will probably notice most don't.
The really sad part is they get final approval.
How it should be, "decorations in the station? Sorry, make it an honorable"; "cleared up a burglary pattern after a foot chase and TRR...approved."
Dear Chief-
I'm still waiting to hear why my guy, who we put in for a Sups Award of Valor for an off duty shooting of an armed offender, ON THE ADS REQUEST, was denied. I was at the last awards ceremony. I saw those FBI guys get our awards for ....what...jumping on the back of on of OUR guy's bank robbery arrest....Can you give me an explanation for my man getting rejected? One that I can relay to him without looking at my shoes?????
Thanks for nothing

Alot of police officers still waiting for awards 2-4 years old. Many d/c turn in to hon mentions out of politics. Now we have j-fed on tape running away from shots fired. god help us
hamilton is getting the award for the carbine program along with academy range folks. Please how did ray ray do that and work out of the 5th floor? Guess swat guy has to make up for his lack of balls with bullshit awards.
To 4.00am, Why is wearing the 2005 crime reduction ribbon or attendance ribbon a joke? Are you a medical roll abuser? Were you faking an injury during 2005 that made you ineligible for the crime reduction ribbon?
Good god! Feeling a little inferior.
Son this is just a job, a means to an end to pay the bills. If you suffer from low self esteem seek help.
Good Luck -
SSC, will you please get spell check for 4/06/2010 03:25:00 He could really use it
To 4.00am, Why is wearing the 2005 crime reduction ribbon or attendance ribbon a joke? Are you a medical roll abuser? Were you faking an injury during 2005 that made you ineligible for the crime reduction ribbon? Went on the medical too many times to recieve the attendance ribbon? I say if you worked in 2005 and the dept. is claiming great work by its member then one should were it proudly. Secondly not only should people who have not hit the medical in three years get that attendance award they should get a monetary cash bonus for saving the city money and having the manpower to operate enough beat cars. So go fuck yourself goof!!

I think the point this poster is trying to make is that while there are many on this job who seem to hate it AD NAUSEUM, scream like unpaid whores about it, mf every white shirt and RIGHT ON THE BLOG FOR ALL TO SEE TALK ABOUT WORK SLOWDOWNS...there are some of us glad to be coppers, glad to have a good job to support our families, are proud to do what we can to make our city a safer place and think some of our bosses do know their ass from a whole in the wall, and don't go on medical for FAKE illness and/or injuries. Now save your incoherent ranting because unlike you...insults from people I don't respect don't bother me. I expect no less and not one of your mf's would ever say it to my face...
Tis one thing to show up at roll call heavily medallioned.
Tis one thing to remember why you got all those medallions,
Tis one thing to stick your chest out proud of the weight thereon.
but alas when you die they go with you.
My "medal" is to be remembered.
To stand among some of the meanest most ornery sons of bitches ever called into battle,to raise a flask,laugh a laugh and REMEMBER.
There is NO ribbon,or honorable mention or award that can take the place of THAT.
While you "look"cool in the mirror in the morning,those medals make SQUAT difference to the goofs you try to arrest. Funny,while I have my share of them(all nicely tucked away in a box in the cellar)I dont NEED them to prove what IM about. I dont NEED to be patted on the head by the DC and told "good job" and I dont NEED a ceremony. What I need is KNOWING the man next to me is as or badder than I am. What i need is to come back in at the end of the day and have all my guys return in one piece. What i NEED is for this job,this department,to regain the HONOR and INTEGRITY it once had. And finally,what I need is RESPECT and PRIDE to return to the faces of the Children on this job. THATS what I NEED.
A legend
I think one thing that used to be done at many stations (even "war" stations like 019)was the hanging of honorables in display cases for all co workers to see. that seemed to stop about 10 years ago at many stations. The fact that your co workers could see your awards and what you got them for stopped a lot of the bull shit awards getting asked for because most of us would be embarrassed to ask for an award for a shop lifter, or a tagger. Now with no awards being posted many officers ask for awards for taking a dump after eating a meal filled with hot sauce
