Furloughs Delayed?
Giant OT opportunity?
- 35th Street Birdie In The Know says:
Percentage of 7th and 8th period furloughs to be either canceled/pushed back - this dirty little secret agreed to by FOP and effective when the arbitrator returns with his decisions on or before 22 Apr 10.
Officers with 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, Full 7 or Full 8 segments will have the opportunity to work their furloughs for time-and-a-half in their district of assignment and on their current watch. Beat car assignments only - no additional manpower will be allowed to work the desk or lock-up. Number of officers per district/watch is still being worked out, and will go by seniority. RDO's during furlough segment cannot be worked. Personnel assigned to units and wishing to participate in this initiative will have a "wish list" of their three (3) top districts to work. In the unlikely event that not enough P.O.'s sign-up for this initiative, reverse seniority will be implemented to fulfill manpower needs as determined by the Policy Group.
If successful, this program may be offered for other furlough segments, depending on crime statistics and trends. At minimum, look for this to at least be implemented in the summer months until an arbitrary number of code 9161's can be agreed upon
We know there are a couple thousand people who would be more than willing to work a few days of their furlough for time-and-a-half in their home districts on their watches. There are days when there aren't baseball games with the kids, trips to the zoo or just days away from the to-do list and make some OT.
And this makes some sense seeing as how almost 110 people are leaving on 15 April and there are an additional 80 to 90 people scheduled to go before November. If we're going to be shorthanded, might as well make Daley pay for it.

I hate to tell you guys this but this is worth double time and one half Because you'd be paid for the days off on furlo anyway
Dont do it for just time and one half
Signed a retired guy who can count
In other words Its time and one half,in a spearate check
PLUS the regular check
Youre welcome very much
Retiree who can count
Nice deal, but let someone else have it. I'm on furlo and intend to relax. I'm sure those with families and shit can use the $$
Why does the City never offer an incentive to take time? Say double or double time and 1/2 if you take time over money for situations like this? They may end up paying more, but it will most likely be later down the road. They could even put a stipulation on this time earned that it can't be used during 7-9th period furloughs.
Is it true that the St. Judes March is being organized by 50 w Washington? Just asking I don't want to be in the wrong place.
This opens the door for them to start fucking w/ our furlough picks.They're goofy to begin with, where else do you decide a year ahead of time when you want to take vacation?? Also what happens if you're injured & go IOD while working your furlough? Then what?
Dammit, I got a 6b. I gladly work time and a half as a tourist driving around and not doing shit. I do it for straight time now, but sweet merciful Obama time and a freaking half. OT, but how can they pay time and a half when they don't have the money to hire rookies?
FUCK DALEY and his refusal to employ the number of officers he's charging the citizens of Chicago for in his budget!
I take my fuckin' furlo when I bid for it.
This cocksucker thinks he's gonna fuck over the few remaining PO's willing to waste their day working for this city he can suck my shit.
I get fucked for this I go on medical for the duration.
And a grievance get's filed, FOP refuses I go to state lodge and national if necessary because I DIDN"T AGREE TO A FUCKING THING!
Da Mayo better do something! My buddy works for a travel agent in California and one of the top spots he pushes is Chicago. He being from here he has always pushed business here. Several who we coming here cancelled their trip to Chicago and asked to go somewhere safer. The reason VIOLENCE and the top cop running from gun fire. Yes the story has made it all the way to the west coast. Da Mayo is to blame!!! This blunder of a Supe along with thousands of poor decisions have turned this city upside down!!!! Da Mayo is a coward also!!!!
I'm waiting to see the actual wording on this. I find it suspicious that Shortshanks would agree to this overtime without getting something in return.
Why would I want to work in 007 during the summer months. OT is not that important as my sanity.
Why exclude desk and lockup positions from this? If desk and lockup officers have 7 or 8 th period furlos then you'll be taking a body who normally works a car and putting them on the desk or lockup. If you let the regular desk or lockup officers work part of their furlo for OT then you can leave the other officers on the beat cars thus supplementing your beat cars. To do otherwise is like borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.
Woo hoo...I'm in with my 20 plus years of senority. Good luck hair gel cops, maybe I'll toss you a bone to gnaw on.
A Birdie in the hand is worth two
in the bush.
I hope it all plays out to the benefit of the BLUE*.
Stay Strong.
Furloughs were designed for an officer to de-stress from the job for a specific time. Sometimes all work and no play makes an officer GRUMPY. There's nothing like working alongside a deprived furlough pissed off cop. Might as well have more anger management classes lined up ..........dorks.
Are you kidding me? Mess with the pension and now with the furloughs? Somebody is gonna be cruisin for a bruisin.
Not happening, my furlough is sacred. You want a reprieve from 2080 annual hours of HELL.
Mental health time is important to rebalance and for the family life.
Does this make ANY SENSE?
Isn't this actually MORE expensive for Daley to pay time and a half instead of hiring more PO's ?
And why does FOP keep agreeing to do everything Daley wants without consulting the troops first?
WTF?
The problem with filling shortages with OT is that the pension continues to suffer more.
The city is making out like a bandit on this one. Furlough time is earned from the year before. The city already owes you that money, so really everyone would be working that day for half-time. Fair would be paying everyone for their earned furlough, then rehiring everyone back for straight time. Waiving OT in front of everyone is very tempting though.

negative you will be volunteering to work your furlough, instead of cancelling your furlough to work
Do you really think anyone with the kind of seniority it takes to GET those furloughs is dumb enough to take time and one half? At least double time, then maybe a handful will. KMA members are too smart to fall for this!
another opportunity for the gray hairs too take money? Some of us hair-gels have families too.
If we give an inch, they will take a foot. As manpower issues get worse, the number of furlough segments that are canceled will increase. Pretty soon it will be there are no furloughs 4a-10b.
Anyone who works this shit is a broke dick. What if the city let you work until you were one hundred years old. I am sure there will be some guys thinking about how much money they could make. NEWSFLASH. Ever been to a young guys DOA? Plenty. People die and get sick it is a fact of life. You are not illegal imigrants who need 6 jobs to survive.Enjoy your fucking time off. Live a little. This job is stressful enough with the jagoff bosses who try to fuck you every chance they get. I am off this job and loving every minute of it. Blood pressure down, Dealing with real people. Try it sometime. Don' let your old lady work you to death while she goes to Macy's. just sayin.
I agree with 29 and a day. I want two checks. One for my regular pay which will be for eight hours and one for working on my furlo which should be for twelve hours. It should be double time and one half. In other words, is the city planning on paying me for twelve hours total or twenty hours total? Anything less than twenty hours is only one half an hour. I'm already getting paid for my furlo. So if they think they can simply give me another four hours in pay and get away with it, their nuts. But then again I'm sure that's exactly what they intend on doing. They will want to pay me an additional four hours per day on top of what I would already be getting and call it time and one half. Be very careful with this lads. Don't let the city pull a fast one on you. Think about this.
not a bad idea... I have a 7a and wouldnt mind trading in 3 or 4 days for some extra cash... I think it would be nice if they did this
ive heard the same thing but with a few different facts.. I didnt hear that you can work your home district.. Now this doesnt mean that what Im saying is fact but the way I understood it is that you can work the days on your furlough in a certain number of districts...mostly the districs that go buck wild in the summer... pretty much you can choose to work in 003,004,005,006,007,008,009,010,011,015,025.. working in slower districts like 001,002,012,013,015,016,017,018,019,020,021,022,023,024 will not be an option... so where most of us live in 016 and 022 still wont get relief.. this is not gospel..just rumor.
"Manpower needs to be determined by the Police Group".......ah, this was supposed to be a joke right? I mean, the Policy Group is a joke, so this whole thing is.
Woo hoo...I'm in with my 20 plus years of senority. Good luck hair gel cops, maybe I'll toss you a bone to gnaw on.
You can keep it! i'll be out on the prowl with extra hair gel in while im on furlo.
and the D unit gets screwed again by the FOP and Dugan
This is a contractual issue. If the union unilaterally decides this issue, I and several officers I have talked to will file a lawsuit with an injunction. I have more seniority than many officers with 7a,7b,8a,8b...etc. furloughs yet I chose other segments. The key here is the time and a half benefit. If it were straight time there would be no beef. Also, if they allow ALL officers to work their furloughs then no beef. We are a union, whether you like it or not, and any benefits must pertain to all 9161's.
Is it true that the St. Judes March is being organized by 50 w Washington? Just asking I don't want to be in the wrong place.
no, thats what we're telling Jody. So he's in the wrong place. Or even better tell him its at 66 and paulina
It's a stop gap solution. But as the US military has found out, sooner rather than later the combat stress adds up.
Awesome! Can unit guys get in on this action?
i thought that you had to take a furlo, that it was some kind of law or something ????--- either way i will be enjoying my summer furlo and they wouldn't get me anywhere that shithole station if they were paying triple time.... why not allow guys to work rdo for straight hours or time all year long--- plenty of guys would do it.... have the watch commander do a monthly manpower projection and days that look a little thin could have a sign up sheet for guys willing to work a rdo....
And why does FOP keep agreeing to do everything Daley wants without consulting the troops first?
How do you think Mark Donahue is going to get a cush county job? Not by going against shortshanks?
Just ask Bill Nolan. He makes about 70 grand a year from the county and collects a nice pension from the city as well. Its called selling out. And thats what the FOP has done for years.
I will have to get a cancel my Key West vacation this year but for time and a half I will be running to the bank.
You watch an see people...Daly will pull the plug on anything that sounds to good to eat or drink.
OFF TOPIC
Jagoff is giving the vultures another reason to air that bar room video. Admit your mistakes and go away already.
How about changing the the furlough selection to give you vacation days on Jan 1 that can be taken in the same manner as BFDs or P-days with a limit on how many can be used in a given period. It would help with family functions etc. I would rather take 8-10 6 day mini furloughs in a year than two 20 day furloughs.
I call bullshit. Anyway, with all the Taxes that will be taken out, you won't make anywhere near time and a half. It will be more like 4 to 5 hrs. of pay, as you'll work for 8 hrs. put in. Welcome to obamaland. Still a few bucks, but they'll get you on taxes the following year.
Another divide & conquer ploy...
Fuck king shorty, j-fled and the exempts! They broke this shit beyond repair so they're trying to fix it on the backs of Patrol which has been bearing the brunt of their fuckery for years.
Besides, this SHOULD be 2.5 time if our memory of the order is correct.
They just got their dicks in the water to see how many will bite!
It's just a rehash of the same bullshit they orchestrated when they concocted all these alphabet units like TRU, MSF and so on.
Pour a little sunshine down enough coppers asses to make them forget about the shit they'll have to eat when the powers that be changes the rules in in the middle of the game once they sucker enough people.
No Way & Not A Chance!
Oh, yeah... Fuck YOU, PAY ME!
Won't you need a great rating before you apply for this overtime?
I don't even want to work when I have to work. No I'm not a Dog Ass, but every day that I am not working is another day I don't worry about getting sued, indicted, shot (again), another CR, so as far as I'm concerned, you need to take care of yourselves...fuck the City Government because that's all they do to us and I'd Hate to see any Copper getting jammed up for a few bucks.
Off Topic:
Mt Greenwood Residents be warned!!!
111XX Spaulding (I didn't know if I could post the whole address) is a section 8 house rented by Police fighters from 007. One of the Family members shot a PO awhile back. Watch your children and call 911 if they start their $hit up here.
4/07/2010 11:29:00 PM
======================================================================
I will!! It's 11130 S. Spaulding. The last name is SELVIE. I'm not sure about 007, but there were jagoff SELVIES in 009 many years ago. And I do believe this is the same family where a member of this shit family shot a P.O. a while back. BE CAREFUL!!!!
7TH AND 8TH PERIOD WOW! THE KIDS(HAIR GEL POLICE)ARE GONNA SCREAM ABOUT THIS! LOL
A buddy of mine just informed me that the family who tried to kill A 1 HGS Det. PJ have taken residence in Mt. Greenwood at 11130 S. Spaulding. The Selvie's are a cop fighting family, so 022 will have there hands full. You don't have to worry about working in 007, they are coming to you!

The only thing that I'm going to be doing on my furlough is drinking large quantities of Fat Tire in my backyard.
Burp!

this is BY FAR the cheapest way to fill the manpower shortage. You do not have train or insure any new people just pay them time and half. This is agreat idea for us, and anybody who does not take advantage of this is making a huge mistake.
FLOP is NOT your friend
HEAVY TAXES MAX OUT DIFF COMP
Let's see, OT on my furlo in a shit district -vs- sanity.
This puts a bandaid on the situation. They should be HIRING new recruits.
I'd rather see more police hired
Is the city going to tell you when you can make up your furlough or is still in the bid process?
just axin.
You guys are unbelievable. They offer you a way to make a little extra and right away its a conspiracy by the mayor and Donahue to take away your fulough or to screw the pension. Maybe its a win for us and the city if you dont want to work it dont take it enough coppers will, my guess is you will need 8 or 9 years to have a summer pick so in order to get the O/T you will have to have 15 years anyway.
Doubt it. The FOP would have said something and it would be a mess, people with seniority who didn't pick a 7 or 8 furlough would have a very winnable grievance.
Also all furloughs to be limited to no more then 21 days. No baby furloughs granted unless a full furlough was taken. This sucks but it is in the order.
THANKS FOP for letting us know
You give them a finger nail and before you know it, your whole arm will be gone. They are fucking with the benefits of this job. Instead of hiring more cops, Shortshanks is patching holes with shit. It won't last long. Just wait untill the contract appears. Shortshanks is going to fuck the police officers. Take your furlo and watch the city blow up from your vacation spot. Don't give the city shit!
If it applied to me, I would be all over this. For those complaining, I would bet it will be filled by plenty willing and you will not be forced so quit your whining. I think it is fair, as long as it is optional and not forced on anyone. I know plenty of coppers who are hurting financially right now that even if they don't really want it, could really use this.
Woo hoo...I'm in with my 20 plus years of senority. Good luck hair gel cops, maybe I'll toss you a bone to gnaw on.
What a sad sad man ready to sell his soul for money. Goof.
They probably figure its cheaper to hire back guys for a couple of periods that promise to be busy rather than to have new hire more guys that they would then have to pay year round. Not to mention provide benefits to. Its kind of stupid strategically, but as a short term fix it makes sense.
I have vacation plans: Let the city burn!
Add Big John Howell to the jag list. Used to think he was alright. WTF was that?!
I think we should now refer to Northen as the REAL Big John. Howell can suck it.
I love the "reverse seniority" clause........'cause baby; I am raking in the ca$h!
glad I gots a 10a
Here is the latest plan:
MSF and TRU cars will be used in BEAT FOCUSED MISSIONS. Two man uniformed teams will be assigned to COVER a single beat when a District in a hot area has a DOWN BEAT CAR due to lack of manpower. They will have to monitor that zone and respond to Calls for Service like burglar alarms and domestics and maybe even have to write some AIRA case reports and tickets.
Maybe they will catch a burglar with a rock in his pocket or pissing on the street.
For once somebody in Dugan’s office comes up with something that sounds halfway sensible. Must have worked the street for more than five minutes.
Shorty's idea,
BURN 'EM UP
USE 'EM UP
DUMP 'EM
STRESS, HEART ATACKS, STROKES, ALCOHOL AND DIVORCES COMING
NO, NO, NO,ooooooooooooo
Its not worth it. Live within your means..
Watching the news and Monique Bond is apokesperson for Luberman.
Anybody who thinks about working this should think twice. The only thing you are accomplishing is delaying the hiring of more P.O.'s by the city. Sit back and enjoy your time don't let them play you for a fool.
SCC,
I don't know if you seen this (you seem to always be on top of these things) When you get to the last part of the article its says in bold print " Something Good". Then it goes on to say how HE reduced Homicides!!!!! Now at first I thought the reporter might have put that in to make Masters, Masters, Masters look good, but then I reviewed the outtakes and You hear him say somthing good..something good.... makes me think he offered it up...what do you say?

Northen interview on WIND-AM was awesome.
Coward J-FLED is toast
I would be happy to work all my furlo except for fri,sat and sun plus rdo's. Still have nice time off and with an extra $300.00 a day I could make $1800 extra and have a nice long wk-end another time plus some extra x-mas cash.
As long as they don't make furlo changes mandatory!
Think about working 2 days a week for 3 wks while on furlo? NOT BAD for easy money.
I start to get bored with long time off.
I would rather have 10 days off every 3 months.
Make it WORK FOR YOU!
Some Officers will jump all over this and risk a lot.. not worth it
OT:
John Howell was a BIG JAG BAG to Northern. Very RUDE. Amy was OK, but BIG JAG HOWELL was a real jerk.
Northern was very polite. Crime File talked too and did a good job.

Called the union on this matter today and talked to Rich A. about cancelled furloughs and was told city can't cancel furloughs unless there is a major incident ie: 911 If your a no believer call yourself
Soooo....instead of FOP selling us out, the rumor is they got an additional overtime gig for those with summer furloughs?
I don't see anything in the post that indicates that furloughs will be denied, or that anyone will lose anything. So why scream about it? It's like just bitching and moaning about how you don't like working CTA? Jeeez.
OT: Couldn't help but notice all of the pro-police stories over on Chicagobreakingnews.com. I know, how ironic that I'm bitching about the media actually putting positive police articles up there for once. But, could this have been manipulated by the powers that be, due to the recent J-Fled incident? Just a thought....
I also heard from a reliable source that any FTO's that are in inside spots will be kicked out on the street.
This is why I don't trust Donahue. Everything is a backroom deal with him.

In over 25 years on the job, I have never, ever seen cash throw our way like this.
I say, take it while you can-it won't last long.
I see a way to shore up the drained bank account and get some extra cash for whatever is needed.
OT. What with Linda Flores and her retirement? Anyone know?
7b I'll be in Spain or maybe the Czech Republic or the south of France, decisions decisions!
ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!
A little bird just told me that Arbitrator Benn will release his decision TOMORROW FRIDAY 9 MARCH!!!!
It should be double time and one half.
I don't think so. It will work on a voluntary basis. Would be different if the city canceled your furlough and told you that you had to work.
Also all furloughs to be limited to no more then 21 days. No baby furloughs granted unless a full furlough was taken. This sucks but it is in the order.
THANKS FOP for letting us know
What about medical furlo's? HAHAHAHA!!
DON'T DO IT!!!!!
MAKE THEM HIRE MORE POLICE!!!!!!!!!
VOTE NO TO DALEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out the link to John Northen appearance on WIND this morning. Howell made him sound like a real jagoff overstating his beef on the balloon head superintendant.
I worked the Pittsburgh G20 detail during furlough last Oct. I got my regular check and a week of time and a half (60 hrs) for the time in Pitt. Good money, and this "detail" should work the same way.
negative you will be volunteering to work your furlough, instead of cancelling your furlough to work
negative you receive 25 paid days off so youre already paid for those days and not expected to be at work
Its at LEAST straight time PLUS the furlo time
I'll give you the volunteer part

You can have all mine then smart guy. I have 8a furlough and plan on taking it and extending. All that matters to me on this job are furloughs and days off. period. You can keep all the blood money, I will be away from here scouting for someplace to live in a few years when I retire.
Work my furlough, kiss my fucking ass, no way. I want my time off, let the damn city burn.
How many years do you have to work in order to get a summer furlough? Depending on where you are assigned, quite a lot of years. Finally, you get your summer pick(s) and then they ask you to work.
This doesn't make much sense unless you are desperate and really need the money.
If no person chooses to work the city says it will use reverse senioriity to force people to work. So what they are saying is that they will force a police officer with a lot of time on the job to work.
How is that reverse seniority? Doesn't reverse senority mean from the bottom up and if a guy has 25 years on and a rookie has only a year or two, how can they force the veteran to work?
Might make for an interesting law suit.
Of course to be certain that it does not happen to you, you can always take 2A and 11B.
Idiots will work this and give the city a reason to continue hiring at a snails pace. If they can just hire you back on your days off when needed why hire new officers permanently.
O.T. Robberies at 112th Central Park and 114th Homan. Time to start protecting the homefront.WTF!!!! Maybe I'll throw a REV. in front of my name and I can get a car to sit on my block like fucking Church ST.

I THINK ITS FAIR MAKE IT PENSIONABLE. DOES FOP HAVE AN ANSWER BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING THEY GAVE THAT AWAY 2!
all i have to say is if the FOP did this without asking us thats BULLSHIT!!!More bakroom deals......Not saying its bad but this is supposed to be OUR union!
When we get to the actual assignments watch for the crying to start from those with little or no seniority about all those old guys who grab the OT opportunities and how it isn't fair for those who feel they should get what they want without paying dues. Hah!
This 25 year officer will stand by while the young'uns get all they want. I want my time off so please work so I can know my house is safe while I am off to someplace nice and green.
Called the Union,its a bunch of Bull,unless the City hasn,t told them yet.
Selvie's in Mt. Greenwood? HOLY SHIT!!! Somebody better tell the Johnson Brothers. That news is a MUST!!!
Ask any copper from 009 about this family. DO NOT just waive this off 022 Dist!!! These people tried to MURDER a detective.

OT -ATTN 22-
In the 3300 block of W 109th Street an attempted break in last week. We believe it was some guy walking door to door asking if the owner needed any spring cleanup work in the yard. They attempted to enter through the side door (east side of house) by smashing a pane glass window. When they hit the pane, it shattered the entire window but it never collapsed. It’s a double pane window that just shatters but never pulled away from the door frame.
This happened in the middle of the day. Sometime between 11:30a and 1:30p. He filed a police report.
I thought we had a “no solicitation” ordinance in the 19th Ward – is that true?
Had I known about this I would have taken a 7 furlough. I instead took a 13. Watch for my grievence because its coming!!!!!!
Once again this f@#$ed up city changes the rules when it wants to. This should have been announced prior to picking furloughs.
Do the math, fellows. You get paid 2.5.
You get the straight time pay in your check for not working, as it is a paid furlough day.
You get 1.5 for hours worked.
Essentially getting paid 2.5 for that day worked.
I need my time off, wouldn't work it, but you aren't working for 1/2 time.

No need for a automatic. 6 shots worked for 100 years. I do not need 15 rounds to eliminate the threat. I learned from Custer and will not attack. I lay low and let the hair gel police fight crime. By the way, thank you for your hard work, son. Jfled and the policy group appreciates it. Thank goodness for senority!

Nah I'll use it to by Viagra & Ginseng the Wife really appreciates it,just ask her...
I also heard from a reliable source that any FTO's that are in inside spots will be kicked out on the street.

FTO's should be out on the street!!!
--They just dumped some, but not all from the academy.
Called the union on this matter today and talked to Rich A. about cancelled furloughs and was told city can't cancel furloughs unless there is a major incident ie: 911 If your a no believer call yourself
--As I already posted. Shortage of manpower is NOT an emergency. They also cannot deny a PDay for manpower issues.
MSF and TRU cars will be used in BEAT FOCUSED MISSIONS. Two man uniformed teams will be assigned to COVER a single beat when a District in a hot area has a DOWN BEAT CAR due to lack of manpower. They will have to monitor that zone and respond to Calls for Service like burglar alarms and domestics and maybe even have to write some AIRA case reports and tickets.
--Well that's a good idea. It would help with the RAP.
A buddy of mine just informed me that the family who tried to kill A 1 HGS Det. PJ have taken residence in Mt. Greenwood at 11130 S. Spaulding. The Selvie's are a cop fighting family, so 022 will have there hands full. You don't have to worry about working in 007, they are coming to you!
-008 copper
--That's not good. The Selvies are big in the 009th district around 50th & Halsted/Peoria area. Nobody ever called the po-po on them. Big time dope and guns. Be careful 022.
A little bird just told me that Arbitrator Benn will release his decision TOMORROW FRIDAY 9 MARCH!!!!
dont listen to this idiot.. at the earliest it will be the 15th of april and the last day to file the award is monday 19 april.. its not likely he will give it on friday and will do it on a wednesday or thursday at the end of a working day. the reason they do that is because then both parties will have thursday and friday to prepare it to release to the members... hes not gonna release it on a friday knowing that friday is an early leave day and that they will not be able to make preperations on a weekend. look for it to be thursday the 15th and details to be released to membership at the end of working day friday 16th or at the beginning of work day monday the 19th.. carry on.. and p.s.. you dont actually expect any type of raise to be approved by the city council on the first pass do you?? ha!!! after the little petition passed around to drop the aldermen to 25 we are gonna be waiting a loooooooong time for this one.. city council will reject... fop will take it to court(4-9 months) then a ruling will either send it back to be reworked between parties(could take up to a year)or force the city to accept.. which in most cases will happen...but its still at the minimum 4 months from the initial city council vote... the aldermen are pissed, we are pissed, we make a petition to embaress the aldermen now this is the chance for them to make us suffer.. count on it 100%...the aldermen are licking thier chops to see our contract put infront of them.
Hey FLOP answer the G*D DAMN PHONE AND RESPOND. WTF! here is an important issue and no one answers the phone.
9161 only or can FTOs, ETs, Canine and Dets participate?
Here is the latest plan:
MSF and TRU cars will be used in BEAT FOCUSED MISSIONS. Two man uniformed teams will be assigned to COVER a single beat when a District in a hot area has a DOWN BEAT CAR due to lack of manpower. They will have to monitor that zone and respond to Calls for Service like burglar alarms and domestics and maybe even have to write some AIRA case reports and tickets.
Maybe they will catch a burglar with a rock in his pocket or pissing on the street.
For once somebody in Dugan’s office comes up with something that sounds halfway sensible. Must have worked the street for more than five minutes.

that's what TRU has unofficialy been doing. So now we are going to pick up the slack for the slugs that are down on a noise disturbance for an hour and a half. I might as well go back to a beat car. Woof woof
Idiots will work this and give the city a reason to continue hiring at a snails pace. If they can just hire you back on your days off when needed why hire new officers permanently.
Shit don't we already work our days off? Voluntary Special Employment? Or whatever the heck the policy group has changed the name to!

Off Topic:
Mt Greenwood Residents be warned!!!
111XX Spaulding (I didn't know if I could post the whole address) is a section 8 house rented by Police fighters from 007. One of the Family members shot a PO awhile back. Watch your children and call 911 if they start their $hit up here.

======================================================================
I will!! It's 11130 S. Spaulding. The last name is SELVIE. I'm not sure about 007, but there were jagoff SELVIES in 009 many years ago. And I do believe this is the same family where a member of this shit family shot a P.O. a while back. BE CAREFUL!!!!

they just moved in 2nite---4 of the selvies are locked up---all have gun arrrest. 1 in for murder another shot a cop
This is like a give back. If everyone keeps working all their RDO's and furloughs we move back to days of old. First they will pay us and then they will slowly stop paying for all that work. Bad, bad idea. We should get payed more for our work if everyone needs so much extra money to live here.
vote... the aldermen are pissed, we are pissed, we make a petition to embaress the aldermen now this is the chance for them to make us suffer.. count on it 100%...the aldermen are licking thier chops to see our contract put infront of them.

fuck the alderman, they know that elections are just around the corner, and they dont want to lose their jobs. there are still tax payers that are voting and they know if they piss someone off it could just escalate and cost them their job. it will pass quickly and quietly. the only one that will beef, is mayonaise Daley because he has nothing to lose, as for the alderman, what are thiefs going to do if they cant rob you legally? maybe go to jail if they do it illegally
that's what TRU has unofficialy been doing. So now we are going to pick up the slack for the slugs that are down on a noise disturbance for an hour and a half. I might as well go back to a beat car. Woof woof

rrelax francis, you still a two year wonder who's afraid of his shadow
to the poster who related that the city council can't wait to shoot down the arbitrator's decision--- you are probably correct, but if memory serves me correctly the alderman started the fight with the police department and we just fought back..... they started with the bullshit about the cpd taking unpaid furlo days like everyone else---- i also agree with you in the possibility that this will be tied up in court for a long time.... daley gets to hold onto that 200 million longer and make more interest off of it....
And if you "volunteer" to work your furlo, you are only hurting US further. shortshanks will never have to hire new police if you do him this favor. let the city experience a nice hot summer without enough of us, the taxpayer's will revolt, IHMO. CR (I mean cl) #'s are arriving routinely about poor response times, and they know it is not our fault, but the shortage of available PO's to respond.
the aldercreatures will pass it when da mayor gives the ok
any aldercreature that votes against contract will be 1 of the 25 gone when aldercreatures are reduced to 25 in chicago
well, lots of in fighting going on at headquarters, seems like Peterson is crossing boundaries into every other bureau, has Masters ear and J-Fed too, thinks he can run other depts. Now today, former head of Streets and San, Mike Picardi after being dumped back to Fleet and taking a 90 day suspension, is now the Director of General Support Division of the Chicago Police Dept, and the old Commander Bob Roman a retired Sgt who got the spot from Starks is now Commander in the Supts. Office, like they really need a Commander, Daley once again dumps his Shit on the Dept, he is worried Picardi has the goods on him.
