Everyone Gets an Award Again
There are now three awards you can have just by being on the job and breathing for the past five years. Crime Reduction I, Crime Reduction II, and now, the Obama Award:
- Department Notice 10-09
The Presidential Election Deployment Award recognizes all Department members, regardless of their duty assignment, for the outstanding police service provided throughout the City during the historic Presidential Rally held in Grant Park on 04 November 2008, an event attended by 240,000 people and resulted in unprecedented national and international attention to the City of Chicago.
Once again, participation trophies for everyone!

The only reason I wear the Democratic National Convention ribbon and Crime Reduction ribbon is because I actually have a few Department Commendations. An inspector kindly (meaning he didn't give me shit about it) reminded me if I wear one I have to wear everything. OK, I wear them all, but a Ribbon for just spending the day in the park? Shit...I did that all the time without it. If you're going to give out ribbons for spending a tour in the park, make it the I survived Bud Billiken or the Southside Irish Parade or something.
"...resulted in unprecedented national and international attention to the City of Chicago."
Kinda like the attention J-Fled's "Snagglepuss" move is garnering?
What's fair is fair, SCC...
J-Fled needs the "Cowardice" pin, posthaste.
What a joke!! I wouldnt wear that thing if you paid me extra to wear it...
How stupid.
Cool!!! What lovely parting gifts for the few hundred retiring this year.
And, maybe a callbox key.
The thousands that despise Obama will still wear it. Hypocrites.
Either this or Obamacare? I'll take the award.
I proudly wear my two crime reduction medals, attendance award, obama award, DNC and caps award. That gives me two rows of medals. The Panamanian general image makes me one cool looking mother fucker. I look in the mirror and see an ass-kicking hero looking back. Keep the awards coming.
Part of the Kool-Aid ?
Ummmm, really? I was on furlough. But I'll take it.
I got an award....it's in my underwear.
Yes, I said pay! Our Tact Lt. said they were $10!
I love awards! Thank you to the Chicago Police Department. The Best Police Department in the whole World! (clap,clap) And Mr. Jody Weis, sir, You are doing a fine job. (clap,clap)
WTF! That's in line with the DNC convention from '96. I never got one because I refused to pay $10 for the damn thing.
Isn't this the same as giving someone a merit promotion?
Recognition without ever having to prove they DESERVE it!

Welcome to the Special Olympics of policing: the CPD. Just how much more ridiculous can this place get?
Yahoo, I've been at call back for two of those awards. Will be wearing them proudly on my AC/DC T-shirt.
There is nothing that the policy group cannot accomplish
Have fun wearing your "Obama award" when your income taxes skyrocket and the VAT is levied upon you and yours to pay for all the free shit for his dog ass supporters.
His intent is to make this nation go the way of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Wake up.
A deserving award for those in the trenches south and west that night...
I got my award, that OT check, keep the ribbon, it goes in the garbage anyway.
i lost those other two awards i am sure this is going in the same place
I THNK IT IS A GREAT IDEA. IF YOU DID WORK THAT NIGHT YOU SHOULD GET ONE. OH HELL I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE ONE FROM 1999/2000 NEW YEARS EVE, AND ONE FOR GOING TO DC FOR BUSCH'S INAUGURATION. THEY SAY ALOT BUT MORE THAN HALF THE TIME YOU GET NOTHING !!!
Yes, I said pay! Our Tact Lt. said they were $10!

Well if you picked up a GO every once in a while you would have at the very least filed a grievance or got the CR# for bribery. We are our own worst enemy when it comes to reading what our rights are!
I want my EVENT # ribbon!
While I do have a problem with house mouses and other do-nothings getting these awards I know that I personally was assigned to a unit running around the ghetto in 2004 and 2009 so I will wear the Crime Reduction Award knowing that I actually may have done something to earn it. For The Presidential Election Award I was downtown in BDU's listening to the liberal Obama supporters and on our feet for 10 hours plus.
For the DNC I was dealing with the a-hole protesters and for the attendance award I came to work even when I didnt feel 100%.
Im not blowing my horn by any means I just believe that if you did something other than being employed you deserve the award and should wear it proudly. If not dont be a poseur. Nothing worse than an house mouse wearing a rack like a 4 star general.
ps I only wear them on my formal uniform which is the only place anyone should wear them.
The CPD Most Honored Good Conduct Medal of honor is next.
3 years consecutive service, with no "Sustained" C.R. numbers is the criteria.
It will however cost $25, 2 for $40.
what about the coppers working that night in the districts where the action was and where we had to deal with the animals shooting, flipping cars and causing chaos in the streets because this goof won... do we get a ribbon or just the guys at the park?? i didnt vote for him, I dont respect him so I will not wear it...
wait a minute.. what is the crime reduction award 2? I didnt get that? when did we reduce crime for a second time? i got the first one? If i got a crime reduction 2 i guess I would wear that but my obama pin..forget it, you can have it.
The only reason I wish we got the 'lympics is because we'd probably get a ribbon for that too.
I'm gonna look so fucking cool wearing these to traffic court.
The thousands that despise Obama will still wear it. Hypocrites.

I doubt it. I know who will wear them though.

"The only reason I wear the Democratic National Convention ribbon and Crime Reduction ribbon is because I actually have a few Department Commendations. An inspector kindly (meaning he didn't give me shit about it) reminded me if I wear one I have to wear everything."
Not true. Read the order. You are encouraged to wear the awards, not required.
I refuse to wear the CAPS, DNC & crime reduction pins. I did pin the Dept Coms & Hon Mens on the blouse. If I'm ever questioned about it I would give an honest answer: I'm not proud or comfortable wearing an "everybody got it" meaningless, phony award.
Who gives a shit what some inspector tells you?
I know where this will go. If you don't wear this ribbon you will be branded a racist. I am not kidding. This will happen. Who thought up this great idea?
When was the second crime reduction award? I missed it....
Hmmm...
At least the 1st Crime Reduction ribbon was awarded by a Superintendent who WAS THE POLICE even if once upon a time in his career. That, we will concede.
I'm going to need a bigger locker to throw these awards in.
Is'nt that the night we all bought swamp land for retirement...???
I am submitting a proposal that J-Fled and his Chief of Staff (Masters Masters Masters), policy group AND whatever "handler" was present at his "Gotta run" media event last Friday, be awarded the NEW Superintendent's Award for COWARDICE.
This award will consist of a yellow ribbon with a running shoe on it.
Of course, J-Fled's ribbon will actually contain TWO running shoes in recognition of his previous "Gotta run" episode when he fled from an egg throwing incident at an outdoor roll call last year.
There will only be room for two running shoes (incidents), since, HOPEFULLY, a third incident will result in termination of his big money contract!
what if you got a cr during the west side rioting do you still qualify?
Hey, I didn't get a Crime Reduction II award...
And the Sox Get What?????
Think the policy group has a copy of the Bullshit CPD awards flyer Can I get my SOS and I got drunk with the Boss ribbons too
Will I qualify now for a meritorious promotion?
See you All at The VFW-Semper Fi
Can I get one of those awards. I have only been retired 3 years.
old retired guy
This just in J-Fled just put in for the run forrest run award..
Ridiculous. They can shove that award up their a@*. I would be embarrassed to wear it.
Just another award for the do-nothing mopes on this job so they can wear it proudly on their uniform daily. Next time you see the never does nothing police w/ their attendance/crime reduction/Obama award all in a row, just stop, stare and start laughin your ass off
As an AC/DC fan, I kindly ask that you do not. Thank you.
SOME OF US WOKED IN 007 AND IT WAS LIKE NEW YEARS EVE OUT THER WITH ALL THE GUN FIRE !WE HAD OUR PERSONAL CARS AND WERE ON FOOT POSTS!WE DESERVE THE AWARD OF VALOR FOR THAT ONE ON OUR RDO TO BOOT!!!
You have got to be freaking KIDDING me! A weak attempt at boosting morale (or as many people write on this blog, "moral").
Take this stupid award and the piece of toilet paper and shove it up your asses, J-Fed and crew!
This department is full of people that have awards and havent earned them. it will always be this way. i love coming to work and having a great time. i always wear a smile on my face and enjoy the night with my partners. all this petty shit can be worried about by the guy who is always bitter and angry. life is too short to be pissed off about work.i could complain but who would listen. i thank God for my family and health. I'm grateful for having a job in this messed up economy. We dont get what we deserve but we could be in a situation that's a lot worse than what we have now.
stay safe
You couldn't get me to wear that crap if a direct order was given to me. I wouldn't wear one thing that represents that Socialist pig. Don't believe in his politics, Don't believe the direction he is taking this Country. I sure in hell will not wear something on my uniform that represents his presidency.
If He, Reid and Pelosi were in a burning car, I would make me some Jiffy Pop and enjoy the show.

Man...that scenario you did back in the academy was funnier 'n SHIT!!!
GUARDING THE DOOR WHILE HOLDING YOUR "AWARD"!!!
BWAAHAAAAHAAAA
Everybody put them in a fish bowl in each dist that way they know how we feel
Didn't the entire CPD get a blanket CR# on that very same night for sprayin all of the belivers? So everone gets an award and a CR, great nice work.
Wear it upside down!!!!!
How about a "Gotta Run Award" for everyone who is on duty in a district in 2010 when a bona-fide shots fired call goes out? Oooooooooh I can't wait to get one!
Welcome to the Special Olympics of policing: the CPD. Just how much more ridiculous can this place get?
Bravo! Bravo! We are without a doubt the silly police. People are laughing at us worldwide and the dumbasses on this job still use terms like "the real police", "dogs", and "workers". The last one out, please turn off the lights.
I don't care about what awards are given out. You guys and gals are true heroes. God Bless and stay safe.

Just like we've been wearing the City flag for months now

...heard its gonna be all white with a small streak of brown going across......pretty much resembling j-fled's whitey tighties after he heard those shots......
This is exactly why I wear no awards given by the dept. We are given awards for ridiculous things such as this and when we do real police work we are awarded with CR numbers.
Here is what all the new awards look like:

It embarrasses the phony merit bosses to award commendations and other Department awards for REAL police work and show recognition to coppers who have EARNED it.
By creating these "blanket" awards, the unworthy gold stars can walk in public acting like they have accomplished something in their careers because they have a chest full of ribbons and the citizens have no idea that they DID NOTHING to deserve them!
i had this stroke on my watch that always talked about how he earned his awards. idiot talked so much crap about how he worked hard. truth was he jumped on all his awards and never earned a single one. he always had great partners. this one time we had a man with a gun job and this idiot dropped his gun as he approached an armed offender. he should get the j-fled award also.
What do you mean you won't wear the ribbon ? You must wear the ribbon ! LOL also don't forget that cheesy fitness award and the dorky C.I.T. pin.

You are a very bitter, jealous person. That attitude is exactly what is wrong with this Police Department.
You are definitely part of the problem. If you have such a problem with this guy, tell him. I suppose actual confrontation is YOUR weak point , too?
