Lieutenant Openings
Remember all the bid openings in 003? 30, then 35, then 40 over the course of 6 or 8 months. Everyone knew exactly what the problem was:
But no one would do anything about it. Cops aren't stupid, so we don't really understand why bosses insist on treating so many of us like mushrooms. Cops will go out of their way to avoid an unpleasant work environment. They will bid out, get detailed out, they will even burn phone calls to remove themselves from it. And they'll tell everyone else the who, what and why so no one bids to go there in the meantime.
So what does it mean when the 017 District has not one, not two, but THREE lieutenant openings? That's half the assigned strength of the district, but in these undermanned times where everyone is short lieutenants, it's more like three-quarters shorthanded.
:::Hold on a second...yes. Yes? Really? You're kidding? No, you're not kidding. Borat, eh? Ok, that would explain a lot. Thanks:::
Never mind. Question answered. Carry on.

Has the second watch captain injured her ankle yet this year?
High five!
The arrogance of most white shirts in 017 is amazing. Then there are the ass kissing brown nosers. Good bosses turned to the dark side afraid of being dumped.
Sgt's and Coppers being told they cannot be excused sick. One Sgt had to get his own relief Sgt to cover. He is now on the medical possible mini stroke due to high blood pressure.
What a terrible place 017 has become to work! Its like going to the dentist everyday to get a tooth drilled without novacaine. Micro managing does not work!
HELP!!!!!!!!
Speaking of all those openings in 003, were they ever completely filled? There seems to only be a few openings there posted within the monthly transfer bids the last couple of periods. Or did the department do it's usual smoke-n-mirrors move? It doesn't seem possible to have all those spots filled in no time at all. Anyone have any input on this?
Oh yeah, before I forget: Fuck You, Mealer! And double-fuck you, Crump-Hales!
I smash Lt.'s like puny mail boxes! I am looking for A FEW GOOD LACKEY'S TO HELP ME BREAK SPIRIT OF lazy district. Please e-mail you portraits in bikini and thongs............. HIGH-five!
IN 013 WE WOULD HORSEWHIP LAZY TICKET ENFORCEMENT police in the back lot then feed them to gypsies!!!!!
If I could make sexy time with GPS I would. Quit reading evil devil blog and go back to work lowly servants!
017 has three lt spots because three lts retired recently--- it has nothing to do with the d/c.... 017 is a good spot to be a lieutenant, nothing happens there and you can relax a little before you retire.....
Tons of crime in 017 Dist just look at all the inside jobs there too Go Caps!!! thanks Mikey
Despite poor leadership, 017 is NOT a bad place to work, especially if you live NW. Commute to work time is 10-15 minutes from 016. Decent places to eat and coffee...and there are actually people in certain beats that appreciate the police. I guarantee 017 will not have unfilled spots for long.
I can't believe Mealer is still a commander. He was sent to a district that could literally run itself and made huge changes instantly. He did this because he believes he is smarter than everyone else. The results of every change he has made has been to anger the workers of 017 resulting in unbelievably low activity as compared to before he arrived. We can only hope that he will be promoted shortly.
No matter how bad Borat is, I would bet my pension every one of those bid spots gets filled, with an abundance of leftover PAR forms!!!
I promise, John, to try and keep you North. I promise.
I want Crump back in 003!!! At least she appreciated the hard work the Officers in 003 do!
6th period captains will be assigned to 1st and 3rd watches
lt's will be bidding for available vacancies on 2nd watches
believe 17th district will be filled soon , Mealer is a good guy
he's just trying to get the lazy dogs to work
Lt. Bob Kohnen from unit 023 to 016
Lt. Dragan Lakich From 023 to 017
Lt. Ron Sodini from 023 to 013
017 was always a place to go when you were tired of the west or south sides. It was quicker than 020 and 019, if that was your thing. If supervisors don't want to work there, where do they want to work?
What is going on over in 017? I live in 017 and work in 025. I see this district quickly going to shit (beats 1723 and 1724).
17 had 3 Lt's retire with the 55 medical. The bids were unit bids which means that a district could have plenty of Lt's but none want to be assigned there.
017 needs to give back our lieutenant in midnights, we only have one right now on 1st Watch 025. We always have lieutenants fill in from other DST if we lucky, while our own is detailed to 017. What's wrong with this picture?
OT, saying prayers for our Capt Lupe, I hope you feel better boss, you can do this, you fought bigger battles than this, we trust you going to win. Can't wait till you come back & hear you say "call the ASA for felony upgrade, you can get one for this" God Bless you Capt.
025 OFC, 1st Watch

You cannot be told you cannot go home sick. If you go home sick you cannot be placed on the medical for that day. If you do not come in the next day due to illness then you go on the medical. No boss can deny you going home sick. If they demand you prove you are sick make them give you a direct order then go to the hospital ER and they City has to pick up the bill for your ER visit, not you. Make sure there are lots of witnesses when you are ordered to go to the ER.
It's true that three Lts retired from 017..but two of them did not even max out with a 75% pension...they just couldn't take working there any longer. The 2.5% loss of pension was worth their mental health!
lts are a waste of money!they do absolutely nothing but collect a paycheck!we need a watch commander and a sgt in each sector!!
I worked in West and South side before I made a smart decision and transferred in 017th because I was burnt out dealing with Ghetto Mofo's. Most officers that never been anywhere else but 017th doesn't have a single clue how lucky they are (and most doesn't know how to be a POLICE), instead, all they do is Bitch and Moan all freaking day or hit the medical because their partner are either in forlo or what else, in MEDICAL!!
What 17 needs is more manpower. Dealings with the DC are very limited. He might not be Mr. Outgoing Personality, but he does not go out of his way to hurt people. There are plenty of officers who like it just fine there.
mealer is a good guy ???? maybe to his mother.... all you dopey jackasses who work in caps better get ready to hit the street because the gravy train has run dry.... that means 8 for 8 not the usual 4 hour day you are accustomed too...... sgt pang, you better find some bullets for your gun.....
WHY NO PIC OF BORAT?
A LITTLE UNFAIR....
IM GOING BACK TO MY LAPTOP AND WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF BREAKING BAD.

Thank you Ralph for the insight. Now go back to work and take care of our sponsor, Borat.
17 district needs a refresher coarse in the ghetto for the duration of the summer, and if they still feel the way they do, maybe then I'll agree with them. I work in the ghetto and guess what..our Sargent's suck ass, our Lt’s sit around in the station, and at the end of the day they have the balls to ask you what have you done if you so happen to ask them for something. Aside from that you have watch out for the animals during the tour and answer calls. Doing a mover or two in 17 cant possibly be the hardest thing in the world. Maybe you guys in 17 should answer a domestic or two while being surrounded by 20 ass holes who want to kill you.
Borat is a Sgt. in FCU. You have to peel him off the computer because all he does is play games on the computer all day or sits a reads a book.
I work in 003 and I know for a fact we didn't have that many openings. Apparently everyone didn't know what the problem was in 003. There was never 30 or 40 openings in 003. Actually 003 had more personnel than most of the districts on the south side. There were no one man cars and all rapids were up. Wasn't it funny all of the openings disappeared one week after the Burger Queen left. Dugan did an excellent job of playing the shell game.
ohhhhh give me a break!!! you work in 017!! try working every single day in 011, 015, 007,008,004,006,003 and so on. are you really complaining about 017?? if the bosses suck who cares.. go out on the street and stay away from them.. I cant stand it when people who work in a district like 017, 024,023, 020 016 bitch and moan like they are the real deal and its so stressful everyday... give me a break. if working in 17 is like going to the dentist everyday then working in 007 is like going to an obama rally every day... much much much worse! stop your complaining.. you dont have to deal with the animal day in and day out. you get a handful of homicides every year and wanna be gang bangers..stop whining!! and if its so bad in cushy 017 then go to englewood or 011 and relax in that hood...pathetic!

If not she will surely injure herself working out on company time. Google her name, you will get a kick out of reading the Appellate Court decision which promoted her to Captain and gave her back pay & benefits and a pile of cash for her distress.

Very true. The DC has alot more direct effect on the whiteshirts then the blueshirts. Of course shit rolls downhill but its not that bad. The DC is a different guy. Not Mr Warmth but I have worked for far worse. He is not an evil pyschopath like some.

Read your general orders dog ass. If you are excused sick you are under the same restrictions for that day as if you were on the medical. That includes medical house checks.
You are correct the Department used smoke screens to claim 40 openings in 003. You should know that if 003 had 40 openings they would not have been able to man the cars. That did not happen. The cars were manned (2) person cars and Rapids. The alleged openings in 003 were never filled because they were non existence. Wake up. In addition, If it were true, the Department administration looks bad to have a district with 40 openings and the other districts fully staff. In addition, during that time 50 recruits graduated, non went to 003, doesn't that sound strange? I'm a supervisor in 003 and I could compare my sheets to any supervisors sheets. You would be surprised.
Please e-mail you portraits in bikini and thongs............. HIGH-five!

All right. I'm m/2 and 250 pounds, but you asked for it.
Yes its true a Officer was denied, to go home because he was sick.. Only in 017.
The 2nd watch capt. has her favorists, dont mind, but give the rest of us a bone.
017 Dist is a good place to work. The bosses causes the stress.
CUT THE CAPS STAFF IN 017 DIST THEY DO NOTHING EXCEPT RUNAROUND THE DIST FOR MIKEY AND BE HIS SNITCHES AND BITCHES! SEND THE CAPS SGT PING PONG OUT TO DO SOME REAL POLICE WORK INSTEAD OF PLANNING THE GOLF OUTING
Dont fill the spots and bring in 6 POs to do police work and fight crime!!! We could use the help
Ray Hamilton to make Lt and then go to 017 he lives in the district so nice short drive. Then he moves over to SWAT
Back in the day when Doty was the commander in 006, every Lieutenant put in a transfer except for one, and she was supposedly going to a unit on a phone order. Three leaving 017 ain't nothin. thank god, he gone.
Every Commander I have ever worked for has tried to leave his "Imprint" on the working Police in the district with new "ideas" to impress the Superintendant.(Mayor). Few met with positive results. Acosta being the only one to leave things alone because they were working. To bad he ran into Fed problems.
lt. sodini, you have to love it! the transfer order should read ppo sodini back to the academy as a retread
in 17 we need lieutenants because quite a few (most) of the sgt's dont know their ass from a whole in the ground.
Did we forget about the cpt that was bounced out of 17?
Whats up in 23 where three lt's are leaving?
look at gps when captains are down in doc area can you say false official report
jfled gotta da runs
da mayor aint to happy
mayor byrne wouldn't stand for this bs
Google her name, you will get a kick out of reading the Appellate Court decision which promoted her to Captain and gave her back pay & benefits and a pile of cash for her distress.
I just read the verdict. All I can say is WOW. $500,000.00 plus back pay, plus promotion. From what I read she had almost no evidence that she wasn't promoted because of either her race or gender. Only in Cook County.
who is commander Borat? enlighten me? Is it mealer? cause he sure looks like him.
Just more proof that the department does not give a fuck about you!
Carry on.
Thanks for mentioning me on the blog, I must have left a lasting impression. I have been gone almost a whole year, enjoying that good Commander's pension and you are still putting me on the blog. Thanks for the plug negative or positive I love it. Keep up the good work
Burger Queen
Don't feel bad I work for a Capt who made us change his DOG so he could get two more days death in family after sitting on the IOD for 8 months. Then he took 8 hours from his Lt to stay at home with his vomiting 1 year old instead of giving him sickness in family. Of course this was the same Lt who stood up to him by refusing to deny CU to the select few PO's who the Capt hates. Please send him to midnights or even better to another district. We got two Lts who could run days in 018 just fine.......things were smooth while the Capt sat on the IOD.

Sounds like you're a whiney P.O. who fetches said Lt. his coffee. Nobody respects a guy like you, including that Lt..
I promise, John, to try and keep you North. I promise.

lol
Dont feel too sorry for the guy who was supposedly denied going home sick. He hits the medical constantly for numerous days. He carries a negative time-due balance, uses every excuse to go home early, even imaginary family member sicknesses, and it was predicted that very date before he came in that he would come in and ask to be excused sick because he was out of time. Of course, this was over the Holidays, when time due had already been over-extended to begin with. Always two sides to the story.
