Solve No Crime - No Overtime!
- In January, Los Angeles Police Det. Nate Kouri was ordered to stop working.
One of the LAPD's most productive homicide investigators sat idle for six weeks, unable to follow any leads on old cases or pick up new ones. Kouri was not being punished for misconduct or for botching an investigation. He was benched for working too hard -- and he is not the only one.
With the city reeling from its worst financial crisis in decades, the LAPD has stopped paying officers overtime wages, except in rare situations. In lieu of cash, officials have implemented a strict policy of forcing cops to take time off when they accrue large amounts of overtime hours. Because of demanding work schedules that routinely require them to investigate a case into the night or through the weekend, homicide detectives have been among the first officers to be sent home in significant numbers.
Should this all come to pass in Chicago, justice is going to be a rare commodity for the foreseeable future. The clearance rate is about to hit a new bottom.

Any chance this is a result of four-and-twos? I remember a study of how o.t. went WAY up out there when two departments implemented four-and-two.
They seem to have forgotten to factor in more o.t., primarily for court, because of more frequent days off. (The study is online somewhere and is at least four years old.)
Reginald MYERS was a fairly decent fellow with no substantive criminal history (once for reefer, big fuckin' deal).
Who shot and killed Reggie?
Any leads, J-Fled?
Does the answer lie within the confines of Beat 725?
"Should this all come to pass in Chicago, justice is going to be a rare commodity for the foreseeable future".
This is precisely why all LEGITIMATE citizens of this hellhole of a city should, at minimum, keep at least one firearm in their residence. And those that don't mind rolling the dice should carry one on their person as well when going about their daily routines in the city. With very few exceptions, no copper I've ever known, City of Chicago or otherwise, would ever fuck with an armed "working man".
If and when the worst case scenario plays out, better to be able to protect yourself and your family should the unthinkable transpire. And sadly, the "unthinkable" is quickly becoming more and more commonplace.
My better-half is more than adequate at weapon control and shot placement, and holds our household policy of "shoot until it's empty, and don't call 911 until you're sure that EMS wouldn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of saving whoever had the balls to enter our home" as gospel.
"Better to be judged by twelve, than carried by six" may be cliche, but truer words have never made more sense given the current climate.
Solve no crime before it's time.

Rumors for city workers
March 31 plumbers local 130 lower hall city coalitions meeting with trades
For year 2011 city wants 50 to 57 furlough days for one year meaning 4 day work week holidays included with no raises and no vacation days, if true lawsuits against unions for not letting membership to vote for or against proposal will follow. Other alternative across the board layoffs 10 to 20 percent layoffs. City wants workers to be like outsiders 1900 hours a year. Can anyone confirm this.
Wait until RMD gets the arbitrator's ruling, you'll see all kinds of new rules coming up....that is until there is a giant heater case.
The dept has been after Sgt DK for his 12000 hours forever. He worked the system well. Ask yourself this DK, how much of that are You going to enjoy in retirement, you don't know how to have fun. You wasted your life going to court and not burning any time due since 1987. Sorry to say You missed out on your life.
Happy retirement
No big deal !
Many crimes already get little or no legitimate follow-up investigations here.
AND there's no need to worry about excessive OT either, since we don't have any freakin Detectives to begin with ! ! !
Its not about the overtime as much as its about activity. The dept does not want us to lock anyone up. They don't want us locking up people for drugs, guns, prostitution, dui's ....... they want to show the public that there is no one out there to arrest, thus justifying the reduction in manpower.
For those of you/us that are planning on paying visits to 11130 s spaulding, remember just because they are criminals doesn't mean they are stupid. You can pretty much ensure they will be taping any perceived harrasment. Knowing our pussy IAD they will probably set up a sting mission to catch officers who are in the area that aren't supposed to be there.
So please use common sense...
I can see angle the Chicago TV and print media take on this one when this begins a local story. Those clueless, ivory tower inhabitants would want to know how come crimes cannot be solved in an hour. CSI does it. Law and Order does it. Why not CPD? Why do the police need overtime to get the job done?
They'll make some stupid, ignorant remark like: do detectives really need to put all of that overtime in to solve cases anyway?
Let the cases back up! Let the crimes go unsolved! All of this because of the midget and his band of thieves who can't hire cops or promote them because of their fiscal malfeasance. Then the media will be clambering about the police not doing their jobs.
What is happening in L.A., is already beginning to happen here.
Well, Fran, Frank, et al, get your crayons out because crime will become a problem in this city by the end of summer. There are not enough cops or detectives to do the job. And, yes, morale sucks! Make sure you pen that in, because bad morale does not act as positive motivator. More and more cops are feeling beaten and abused by the media, politicians, bosses and citizens. Combine all that with orders not to work and you will have one crazy ass summer.
Society will have the type of policing they want and cried for.
On a different, but related topic, does anyone have an ear to the ground related to our contract?
Thursday will be 42 days since the 4th of March.
That started here 6 years in 2004 when there was a moratorium on overtime & investigations had to be passed off to the oncoming watch. The Powers that be didnt like Det.'s making 6 figures. The clearance rate followed suit. Nothing new, nothing to see here move along....
"Should this all come to pass in Chicago, justice is going to be a rare commodity for the foreseeable future."
well, a certain kind of justice, yes.
we all know that good police officers are self motivated... a pooch copper with ten years on the job gets the same pay as a go getter with ten years on the job... the difference is the money you get for going to court... so here in beginneth the lesson, if the working copper is not going to be rewarded then he will turn into a pooch....
didnt we try this one a couple of years ago? i think it only lasted like a week or so...
When paid OT first came out, a boss had a unique idea.
"When the whistle blows, you're off the clock. Don't care if you're chasing a stickup man down the street, or ready to flip a murderer. Turn it over to the next crew."
Morale builder. And that was a Violent Crimes Unit.
hey SCC how about a post on the Tea Party at the Daley center on tax day April 15th from noon to 1330 hours--everyone who is against more government and against government spending should show up in force!!
Can you imagine in a pretend world cpd ran like the undercover boss episodes? Sunday evening the ceo of his company said "you have to talk to the workers to find out what works and what doesn't. the workers know what they need to do their job well. the workers know the business better than anyone."
Make more classes detectives to handle the workload. When is that happening? Going on two and half years and counting. Plus huge retirements and no one to take their place.
Some star gazer said..."Bosses are talking openly to the troops to keep up morale.
J-Fled will not last much longer"
A real cop said...This is a prime example of prepared and jiggered Koolaid. Zero tollerance for any excempt bullshit. Let the city burn. J-Fled knows that he has lost the battle with the entire dept. so he and his mninions will float any bullshit rumor to squeeze that last nonsensical bit of proactive policework that some still have left, to keep his numbers from appearing even more disasterous than they are now. It's getting warm J-Fled. Are you still shit shitting your pants??? As I said, Viva Hate, it's theraputic.
This city just does NOT care about it's police force and it's citizens!
Just pay the taxes so that the politicians can steal from the trough later when nobody is looking!

I like when someone goes out on a limb and makes a "predictable" prediction.
FOP told everyone when the arbitration hearings ended on March 3rd, that Arbitrator Benn had 45 days to issue a ruling. Monday April 19th is the deadline for his decision to be published. In the past, he has frequently ruled before the deadline.
"Hey guy's I have a secret, but you can't tell anyone okay?..my source tells me we'll probably hear about our contract this week. My source tells me we'll have our retro check by late July or early august, but be discrete okay? I don't want 35th Street to know I told anyone. You guy's can believe me, I've got the good inside sources!"
Example of an ego driven suck hole that craves acceptance from his peers for his knowledge..who in reality doesn't know jack shit!
Nobody cares about property crimes, that's been happening for a long time. You can tell the victim to forget about their ransacked home because they keep pulling dics off OT and cases get botched.
All property and most financial crime is already NOT being investigated unless there are extenuating circumstances; ie the victim has clout, or loss is in high six figures. As the bosses say "just move the x". Case suspended. File a claim with your insurance company. Next...
It is a mateer of priotity. Safety or money. Money wins.
City pays 3 mil to driver who was hit during pursuit. What about our contract? Is there any money left? Does anyone have any info on the Arbitrators decision? I was told by my rep that the decision was to be given by April 18th.
Justice already is a rare commodity round about 26th & California.
So this changes what?

welcome to Detroit
http://illinoisisbroke.com/
This is not good for our pension. Now of course as you read through this website it is their opinion on the way the law is written and how it should be applied.
But when it comes down to it can anyone trust a lawyer or a politician considering that the usually are the same person.
To the command staff,
Let's get everyone back to the districts and start from scratch. These special units waste time because they have to travel so much. They can serve you better from the districts themselves.
Then, get some detectives promoted. We don't kneed any more supervision. We need people clearing crime, not people who are required to check up on others. More grunts on the street, more capable leaders. When you submit your merit appointees, know that we all know - whats going on. Have some honor for goodness sake!
We have to rebuild, show this policy group your collective experience trumps their own. Now is the time to mobilize. This guy should be on the way out, Shortshanks isn't going to renew a contract like J-Fled has, he cannot afford to.
All these problems extend from all this accountability. Stop these BS meetings. All this money shortage is taking it's toll. This big brother attitude does nothing to counter crime. Get rid of the accountability, get rid of CAPS, (the FED money is long gone anyway and now we are using our own money to pay these ridiculous civilians)
Let the patrolmen do their job, get them some help, and promote some detectives.
Commanders, look at your repeat offenders. When they get out of the joint and commit more crime, go public! Let the press know. The judges give minimal sentences, and the Governor just lets them go. This is killing the numbers. The public deserves to know. Your looking at 30 days unpaid next year already. F- them!
G-d help us.
Everybody shares some blame for this mess. Everybody has been, to some extent ( moreso in others)greedy, self serving, egotistical, and self entitled. Everybody's been out for themselves-now it's come to this.
From our , hopefully soon to be dethroned mayor, to our grossly overpaid Superintendent and aldermen, to our pension sucking gold stars,and even some of to the overtime draining ,arrogant detectives-everybody put us in the mess we're in now.
I've seen too many detectives hang around on bs cases, sucking on the OT tit like its a never ending fountain of milk. And to what end? Area 2, for example, still has the highest crime rate and the lowest overall clearance rate.
I think every field working PO should have a base salary of at least 80k, -detectives-90k,and get raises ,promotion and overtime based on performance and accomplishment, and do away with most exempt ranks. Most of them do far less work than blue shirts and get paid a lot more, and for what?
There has been a drastic decline in overtime in the detective division for many years now. Nothing new there.
Additionally, no one really cares about a homicide being solved except the copper and detective who still takes pride in his work and wants to give some kind of relief to the surviving family.
Daley is clearly the biggest racist in this city and no one really gets it. When the deuce, 011, and the 18th District Public Housing was leveled and gentrified, the criminals relocated.
It just moved the criminal element to other areas...such as Area 2 for instance. So Daley gets to put land, utilities, and buildings into play...and pay.
In the mean time the African American community is completely overwhelmed by death, doom, and destruction that could not be replicated with a semi full of bullets and a blessing from God.
Not only does he not care what happens in these neighborhoods he also REDUCES public safety in these neighborhoods by not staffing the police department. To top it off he is at war with his police department which made proactive policing a thing of the past and in turn, stopped all street and vehicle stops to a crawl.
Then again...I could be completely wrong.

The patrol officer will then put on a brown leather waist length coat and change into blue jeans and cowboy boots on his RDO. He then will conduct followups and undercover operations. TJ Hooker did this in the mid 80's. He solved every crime in an hour without filling out an overtime slip. Why? Because he loved his job and was devoted! He even found time to have a beer with Stacy! It can be done people. Now go get em and quit complaining.

The decision to downsize the Chicago Police Department was set into motion before the economic downturn. The fact the economy is in a slump is perfect. It is suicide to overtly announce or make it so obvious. So it has been done slowly and quietly and the number of officers is not the only indicator. The new administration didn't roll out GPS, in-car camera, carbines, and tasers for any other reason except that is what most smaller agencies and one-man units have. That is our future. We have Tahoes because the they are large and easily noticed. Therefore they stand out more to the masses and that they are seen then people believe they see the police more. Now with out replacing all that have left and a lousy economy, they can argue a smaller department. If we are awarded a contract that costs the city, it plays into the their plan of "see, we cannot afford more cops now." Units will not be disbanded because officers are willing to give up contractual rights to be in a "unit". It benefits management, if most of the department was in a "unit" then your contract means ZERO, read your contract sometime. All officers willing to go outside of patrol have successfully screwed themselves. Again that is the plan, this is our future and we've played into it nicely.
From the Sunday rumors thread:
Maybe you should get your so called facts straight.

I'm just wondering something....Do you guys still run the plate of a vehicle that your issuing a parking ticket on??? (Anyone remember the Lee Miglin case in 1997)???
You're working, oh I don't know, say on 1st watch, gonna write a ticket for parking on a snow route 0300-0700, Oct 1-Apr 1, and it's 28March.
By chance if you did run that plate, do you think that you might notice that the plate/personal vehicle is registered to 3510 S. Michigan Av.? (state law allows P.O.'s to register their personal vehicles & D.L.'s to their dept address. For those of you that didn't know that). Note that the vehicle does'nt look like an F.O.P. billboard with a bunch of stickers/medallions & even worse a hat band from the rearview mirror.
Now, I'm not a murderer like in the Miglin case, but I can only hope that this P.O. who wrote this ticket overlooked this fact and was just doing his job, and not tryin to pimp out another P.O. by makin more money for the Daley machine. Oh well, another $60 to the City That Works!
Well either its back to the OL' sit in court all day or not....or maybe then its side job city for all the Dicks...it used to be scam city up there......... now?
So is it now "Pass whatever info you have off to the other watch coming in..." ?
This too may be a ploy for you old time dicks holding on so to force you guys out too

That worked until the trials came up and 8-10 detectives were in court for 4-5 days all day on overtime waiting to testify. Plus now you have many less dicks. With the daily handouts plus the jobs, everything will be suspended. The clearance rate will drop thru the floor. That should make the bosses happy. Sorry boss I have 75 open jobs. Can't do too much in 1-2 hours you have to fully work each job, if that much time. Suspended based on the fact we have no help and can't work overtime.

Ex-city Fleet Commissioner Michael Picardi, suspended by City Hall this year after an embarrassing contracting mistake, has landed a new $129,000-a-year job with the Chicago Police Department.
The City probably wants the 45 day period to be "Business Days" (IE:Mon thru friday,no weekends.

In response:
I actually usually don't run the plate that i'm issuing the ticket on. I see it's parked in a residential without a sticker and i write it and get out of there before someone comes out to haggle me about it. Or same case if it's rush hour, etc. I don't think most cops take the time to run the plate on a quick parker.
Just my views. Sorry you got the ticket. I don't have any FOP stuff on my car at all and i occasionally get a ticket when i over look a sign or something. I don't blame the police that wrote it at all though. It's not their fault i parked in a tow zone or whatever.

AMEN to this, Brother! This mayor is the biggest hypocrite in the history of man.
Years ago I was detailed to a specialised unit. The Brass thought that we had been accrueing too much overtime and we were ordered to stop our investigations at checkoff time. We obliged and within two weeks the states attorneys office, the superintendant's office and the mayors were calling to bitch about the late and incomplete investigations. They gave us our overtime back.

...now if we could only find half the people in our city. Understand that the response rate to the census forms is around 50% -- less in some areas. Half-dozen names come off mailbox, shades go down, lights go off in that "single-family home" with about 40 people living in it. Doorbell goes unanswered. This too shall pass...
I remember when they tried this in patrol several years ago. Working a beat car from 0800 - 1630 and get a call at 1545, I would just get on the radio to mobile with my Sgt to get authorization to work the O.T. 9.9 out of 10 times the Sgt would tell the dispatcher to hold it for the next watch.
I loved it then and I would welcome it again. Nothing wrong about going home on time.
These special units waste time because they have to travel so much. They can serve you better from the districts themselves.
You insensitive ahole! Don't you know that with every specialized team out there, there is an exempt sitting some where patting him/herself on the back for creating them?
If you did away with all the specialized units, you would make a whole lot of exempts sad. And if they are sad, they cannot impart their infinite wisdom on the rank and file and lead us on this glorious crusade to rid this once, great city of all the hordes of evil doers.
Why? Because he loved his job and was devoted! He even found time to have a beer with Stacy! It can be done people. Now go get em and quit complaining.
As long as the city provides the beer, I'm in!
.. I can only hope that this P.O. who wrote this ticket overlooked this fact and was just doing his job..

----------
This is all true, however the problem for the black community is much bigger than Daley.
Police departments can no longer reduce crime in black neighborhoods because criminal and civil courts in this country have castrated the department's ability to stop crime BEFORE it happens.
Nonsensical laws reguarding stops and searches, unreasonable civil penalties against officers and municipalities, and a continued insistance by judges to go soft on sentences...all mean one thing...
Black America is going to suffer greatly in this decade and will likely decline to a point from which it will never recover.
When there's no money we won't solve crimes! The citizens are too
blame for there barbaric ways, damn those people!!! This is violent city and there's no money to protect it,. I miss the O.T.

Just because you register your car to headquarters doesn't mean you get a pass to park illegally. Did you ever stop to think one of your neighbors called?
Stop whining and park legally next time. I do and surprisingly enough, it works every time!

I never suggested that just because my plates are registered at HQtrs I deserve a free pass. Nor was I parked anywhere near my residence or even close to a residential street for that matter. I'll take my fine & pay it. It was just something that I was wondering...Is it a common practice of some police to not run the plate? Was it just simply overlooked? Or has the moral sunken so low that a po could care less that he writes another po? Since it works so well for you maybe next time I need a valet I'll call you. Thanks for your suggestions.
