Summer Crime Strategy
A new Chicago police rapid-response initiative will put block-by-block computer analysis into the hands of officers to prevent sporadic summer violence like the kind that left seven people dead and 18 wounded last week, Superintendent Jody Weis said.
The plan, expected to kick off next week, will rely on computer data to pinpoint city blocks where violence is brewing, Weis said. That information would then be quickly relayed to strategic response units that would saturate the hot spots to stop violence, Weis said at a news conference Tuesday.
Wow. It sounds like a cross between Summer Mobile and Special Operations. So we have three citywide task forces right now (TRU, MSF, GEU) and now they're going to strip Patrol once again to field a fourth mobile force?
This is going to go exactly like the camera experiment. Crime will be driven around the corners, out of sight and into areas it hasn't appeared before just to avoid the hassles, but when someone is determined to kill someone else or shoot up a disputed dope spot, they're going to do it regardless of the police actions.
This looks more like a tacit admission that we can't stop the shootings, we can only react after the fact.

You forgot SURGICAL STRIKE FORCE!
Without the 3,100+ nonexistent police officers there is no possible way to reduce the upswing in violent crime.
Keep putting bandaids on gaping wounds. You can temporarily tide the loss of blood but eventually the victim bleeds out and dies.
The writing is on the walls, be careful, be safe!
Citizens,
Arm yourselves and learn to handle a weapon properly.
But what are they gonna do for the death fest of Chicago.
I am hoping for an extremely hot, humid summer with numerous power outages.
The blatant disregard for the CPD and the loss of manpower will be felt!!!
Where the hell are they getting the bodies for this adventure? Many districts have ONE MAN CARS on midnights. And i mean ALL THE CARS!
I couldn't figure out if this is was going to be ANOTHER new unit or are they going to use officers from MSF to do this crap? We really, really cannot afford to fill another unit.
The problem is utilizing the units we have now! MSF, TRU, GEU, SAT are all being utilized incorrectly. There needs to be (1) unit that targets areas all over the city. Not multiple units working to achieve the same goal, but one hand doesn't know what the other is doing? That's not how it works.
And stop with saturating one area with 50+ officers. Send 10 or so officers to each district that has these "hot spots."
Whoever wrote the following on 501, well put. I'm surprised it was posted. Very funny. Thank you.
Since you have already made use of your contacts with the Department of Justice, perhaps a joint task force of some sort is in order that would expedite the long overdue arrival of federal corruption charges against the emperor you call your boss.
At this point, due in no small measure to an insulting contract process and equally offensive results of same, the only way you will garner the respect of us pawns rests in the unlikely prospect of you one day putting him in handcuffs and helping to land him where he deserves before the certain fate of some future heart attack robs us all of the pleasure.

Maybe J-Fled's next news conference will detail how the SOHO satellite will help CPD predict shootings by using data from the sun.
I don't get what's "new" about this. This is what we have been doing for the pst 10 years. What is the DOC and CPIC doing but feeding us hot spot data all day long. What's new about this? Before them, it was the detective and gang units calling out the hot spots to us. What is new?
The same old tired re-hashed non-sense that produces zero results. The laffer is the Clowns that will be lining up 4 deep to strap on the Taser & tote the M4 in the hopes they'll be noticed by some boss & find their way to a beloved "spot". Sellout Suckholes, You know WHO you are!!
"A new Chicago police rapid response initiative will put block-by-block computer analysis into the hands of officers"
This is the new version of updating the pin maps.
Ah, yes; when in doubt, resort to a computer model. THAT'll fix it!
If you think about it, if you are eligible to retire, there is no reason for you not to. The raises the arbitrator gave are now all under 3% from 2009 on. If you retire now, you can get a 3% COLA.
Maybe its just another way to rid the department of old timers.
Hmmmmm....
We are already short, they gave us the 55/health care coverage and now this. If I were to guess, with the payroll this short, throw the remain officers a bone while the city goes after our pension, maybe make is a 401K/social security deal.
Why didn't the FOP ask for a waiver from city stickers and water bills? There is already president since we don't have to pay for ambulance rides.
Is there anything computers can't do?
Take a step back, how did the wheel gun police ever solve a crime without video? Try getting a felony approved without it now.
I'm not part of that generation, but it must have been a whole different world. One radio, in the car, while your on the the 10 floor of a project building.
The more this job gets legitimized, the more the citizens a suffer and the shithead wins.
From 501
My partner and I recently submitted a request for a copy of in car camera video that would be indisputable evidence to convict the offender in traffic court. The request was denied saying it is up to the ASA to request video. I'm not sure what the policy is but if an officer requests a video to assist in court room testimony and it is denied, how can the argument be made that the cameras purpose is anything other than to document mistakes made by officers? In my experience no ASA will request a video for traffic court, but I believe if an officer brought video in for a specific cases, the video would be used.

OT For those that are talking about the contract the worst thing was the random testing. Seems very vague. There are only 20 months left before it kicks in. This is the haunting language of the contract. Everyone shoulder read this and understands what it say and what it could mean to your future. It needs to be explained further for all of the consequences. Beware!!!!
OT: Great job to 017 for catching agg batt with firearm offender at Lawrence/Lawndale last night. I believe they got the offender and recovered gun.
1st this technology has been around since 2005, 2 Superintendents ago. I know who created it and I hope someone is not know taking credit for it!!! 5 years have past!
Is this the best initiative they came up with?
I don’t blame Weis He can’t know what’s happening if he is new like the people he is surrounding himself with.
Look to see people in HQ and other Spots will have less than 15 yrs and maybe 1 to 2 yrs street experience in a slow district doing desk duty.
How can they advise him with NO Knowledge?
The Older knowledgeable intelligence are being shut up and only vent frustrations in this venue. How is he to know how to handle these events, He’s new too! Bad advice makes ineffective decisions. He started off with change with good intentions but where did he get his list from, the people who would have never made it on the streets? I do feel if he is making this large salary that everyone is scared to question it is unacceptable for gangs to roam our streets like they have a license to kill!
If the old timers with knowledge were able not handicapped by being judged by unknowledgeable supervision most of this crime would be suppressed.
Why don't you beef up the districts and the beats and let them handle their bad blocks? Hire more cops and get more cops on the streets. A criminal is an opportunist, and they are going to move to where the least resistance is. Look out stripped districts.

Ralph Blogo Driver stay off the blog and stop getting OT from Borat
Daley and Donahue are in bed together! They are playing "good Mayor, bad FOP President!" One has to take the heat so its Donahues' turn! They are both chuckling and poking each other every morning! The CPD is so fucked up because of Daley's "going outside" for Supt.! Weis is making big money and everyone is cutting him slack! Where are the Revs and black aldercreatures when you need em? All told to be quiet and let the circus continue! Englewood is lost! Been that way forever! It is a breeding ground for failure! The inmates are running th asylum! WTF!
Policy group, I hit'um both.
The taxpayers are paying a salary of 300K and this is the best strategy that HQ's can come up with?? God help us.
Are you kidding me? What are the police going to do- hold up their computers to stop the bullets? And to top it all off you insult my intelligence with a gun turn in? This city's leadership is ass-backwards. Give me some protection and I'll turn my gun in. Otherwise- get your hand out of my pocket!!
Ot Speedy recovery to the officer from018 who was dragged and then run over by jagoff suburbanite. Jagoff charged w attempt murder.
Good God! By the end of the year there will be NO Patrol Bureau. Maybe that's the new strategy. We eliminate the Districts. Then there's no back log or RAP. We get rid of 25 Cmdrs, save the city a shitload of money, and just patrol anywhere we want running from hot spot to hot spot as the blackberry tells us. After all, why have cops in the District? Every time J-Fled has a press conference he lauds MSF, TRU and GEU. Obviously, District cops - patrol and tact - don't do anything. So here's my idea J-Fled. Bend over, place your head firmly between your legs and then kiss your ass good-bye! Bye bye! Sooner than later.
Cops on the dots. This haas been around for decades. Weis and the Policy Group are grasping for straws now. They have no clue on what to do. Good luck citizens.

..............................................you have crime?
Just like summer mobile. All units except D unit can apply and will work out of TRU. What a joke. This city is gonna burn this summer! They are scrambling to keep homicides low and it isn't gonna happen! Sit back and watch the show kids! This is gonna be good! Just watch yourselves and your partners!
Dumbass J-Fled stated that all this violence happens in an isolated 9% of the city. Well, why do we need these units to respond citywide? Why not take all these pet units and just concentrate on that 9% area? I am only a blue shirt and don't make 310k.
Guys just go out and do the best you can but don't sacrafice safety. Use your heads. All 99 cars should not respond to any kind of disturbance without backup. Insist on the backup. Don't make stops alone. If you see some dickheads that should be stopped call for backup before stopping. If there is no one to assist you keep on driving. Why sacrafice your safety for a city that doesn't care about your safety. A shit raise is one thing, but a city to purposely expose it's officers to unsafe conditions is pathetic. Make sure you collect your check to support you and your family and get home safely. Fuck Shitcago!
ot will tru , msf and saturation teams give up their 2hour lunch, and returning to office early
As a civilian I'm sure the Thugs also appreciate J-Fleds on air warning. What like Gangs don't watch TV ? I guess this will work well along with the high visibility flashing lights campaign. Perhaps the task forces will be lucky enough to sneak up and capture the dreaded Stevie Wonder street gang while the led's are flashing.
But Stay safe guys n gals in blue! Hopefully you will make a difference this summer.
And great job to whoever transferred Barnas to 025 from 017!!
THANK YOU!!
Get ready for this goof 025!
How stupid can these bosses get? There is a faster way to know where these hot spots are going to be and we've had it for years. IT'S CALLED A RADIO.
This is the end around of redistricting. That is all. They take the manpower from one district and put it in another without consent of the aldercreatures...Been happening for a long time (Edge Missions, gang loitering missions, task force, etc.)
This idea is similar to that of the Surgical Strike Team missions that started last year in Area 2. Area two saturation teams, some district tact teams, Narcotics, TRU, came in and saturated a 4x4 block area chosen by the analyst. After the mission is completed CAPS people came in and distributed flyers and requested other needed city services like street cleaning and tree trimming.
Same concept but a different name.. Not bad if they still use 10-15 officers without creating a new unit.
Be careful- Bcz this is targeted patrol on these hot spots..
Assault incidents on the police will be more likely than general patrol procedures. Be safe!
This might work IF...
#1. These teams were split up into two man cars and assigned to focus on particular beats in districts.
#2. They were to answer all calls for service in that particular beat so that they would become familiar with the people and the long term problems of that small area.
#3. They would be responsible for case reporting and all enforcement activities during their tour of duty.
#4. They would be responsible to a chain of command through the district in which they were assigned.
Hey, Wait a Minute....
That describes a DISTRICT BEAT CAR!
What a Brilliant Idea!
Why didn't anyone think of this before?!?!?
How many more YA-HOO arrests can these ELITE UNITS make for pissing in public, nickle bag, one rock or soliciting unlawful business.
You have spawned an entire generation of cops that has no idea how to be the police and would have to go to RETREAD SCHOOL to go back to a district.
Meanwhile, I almost never see a CPD car on the block where I live except when there is street cleaning.

So based on what you just said. a carpenter with a hammer is a sellout also. We are police officers. The two items you mentioned are tools that make are job easier to do. However you dont seem to realize that. you probably dont need them anyway. little use for them on the desk. stay thirsty my friend.

In the "Lies Lies Lies" thread you mention "the chandelier incident" with CpdCopPurr at the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island. Sounds like an amusing tale to say the least. Please share.
I agree that the best pasta in America can be found in the trattorias of Brooklyn's Bensonhurst.
Last Exempt meeting they were told - 'what you have is what you are going to have. That's it.'
So we have approximately 20% less P.O.s on the street and they are being mismanaged! Hundreds of Officers spending their days behind computers or watching cameras instead of on the street.
Weis and his policy group apparently have never heard the words 'visible deterrent'. As a Beat cop, I have 8-12 blocks. I know the problems, the dope spots, even the future domestic families.
I used to have a lot of help to solve those problems, other Beat cars. Now I just run from job to job solving nothing. I'm watching the gangs run the streets because we have NO BEAT CARS to run the gangs.
If you ever worked the streets you would know the Beat cars need to be fully staffed first. Constant presence in the area PREVENTS crime. It is a simple solution....if you were ever a cop.

But we still don't have PDTs?
Same old games different names !
This guy weis is nothing more than an over paid, narcissistic, bean counter.
He's managing by reaction. Bifurcating the manpower into units is not efficient or smart at a time when you have NO PEOPLE!
He's taking solid brass then changing it into brass plated, then to brass colored paint, then into brass look alike.
Roll call at Stanleys?
Lets be realistic, PROACTIVE Police Work takes care of MANY problems which eventually lead to such violence.
The FACT that hardly anyone is doing that anymore is the reason for most of the spikes in violence and shootings.
I live in 016 on the far North Side and I see first hand what I hope is not the epidemic citywide. I stopped an Officer, not identifying myself as an Officer, and asked him to address a group of M/1's smoking Pot in a car nearby. He told me that he was on the way to something and couldn't do it. When I got to work I ran a UH on him and saw that he was assigned 2 jobs all day and assisted on Z E R O. Neither job he was assigned was within 3 hours of my seeing him.
If THIS is what I am dealing with in 016 of all places, what do they expect south of Belmont.
Clear the way, PLEASE let someone into 016 that will actually DO something.
MY GOD THAT PISSES ME OFF.

"Block-by-block computer analysis"?
Such a profound and novel concept!
The CPD has been sticking color-coded tack pins in maps for at least a half century to identify "hot spots" by type of Part I crimes.
Could this be another "brainstorm" by J-Fled?
the bad guys know where the D.O.C. is and operate 1-2 blocks outside it. just listen to the zone or cw1 when the msf or tru pull out of a hood to go home.......it goes up !
once the saturation stops business resumes.

Bottom line is that it pays to be criminal in Cook County. Odds are that you won't get found guilty on a gun case, especially in the Skokie.
"Tougher gun laws", how about tougher judges that don't throw cases out because their lack of understanding of law.
Its time for the Chicago Police Tea Party to step up and take action. Lets show Shortshanks and J-Fled just how important we, the Police, are to this city and their jobs. Lets throw out some suggestions of our own on how to fight crime and bring up morale. They read this blog too.
Guys I am a 15 year veteran who has never posted here before but only read all the comments. With this in mind , I can't hold my tongue any longer. Given the shit burger we just had for our dept approved 30 minute lunch, I ask this of my brothers. I have been to my share of police funerals over the years and dread the day when I have to attend my next. My fear is that this summer is setting up for that to take place. My advice is to be more cautious than ever, keep your eyes open, back each other up, and take nothing for granted. Young guys....... Don't be a hero for the shithead public by running down gangways blind, be tactful. Veterans....... Use your street smarts, there is no accounting for experience. If one of us should fall, make sure that piece of shit mayor and all his cronies know they are, and never will be, welcome to attend a funeral for a hero. Cowards are not welcome!!!

Huberman came back....and he is integrating real-time crime data directly into "Grand Theft Auto" & "Halo 3" video games...and then selling it back to the Broke-ass Gaming Deviates Network (BGDN) & Chicago Videogame League (CVL).
He's also offering scholarships for his CPS dropouts under a new vocational training program.
Mayor Daley has embraced Huberman's creativity and suggested that the fire department defer their raises so that more children can be touched by the program.
CeaseFIRE lost out in their bid to manage the program, due to prior bouts of fiscal irregularity. Victor Reyes and Anne Burke have launched a new non-profit...It will operate as OpenFIRE and won't actually come into existence until the day after they've signed the contract.
Since there will be a finite number of video games supplied by the contract, (circa 10,000) vocational students not able to play will wait on the street corners closest to the inner-city section-8 arcades, selling "toe tags" as a way to raise money and awareness for the new fountain to be built to our beloved mayor.
It will be modeled after 'Mannekin Pis' - The famous fountain of the little boy urinating in Brussels. This time, a larger than life mayor will be hold a similar sized appendage and proceed to piss on the city of Chicago 24 hours a day.

I wonder if Bartuch will be leading the charge
Please get together on one issue. There are arguments posted that there are not enough officers on the street to implement an effective tactics so the violence will continue and increase, and arguments posted that it doesn't matter how many officers are on the street or what tactics they use, the violence will just continue and increase. They appear to be contradictory.
My personal feeling is that more blue shirts, assigned to the districts and to beats on a long term term basis, who know their beats and the players and what the hell is going on in their patch, is a more effective tactic than temporary saturations by special units. The special units can be useful, but are a luxury, and their manning should only come after the districts and beats are well staffed. Of course, your opinion may be different.
In my experience as a traffic officer the asa has been using my video since 2007 just follow the g/o and state in the narrative that it was video recorded incident
Its the Itchy and Scratchy Show.
MORE MIRRORS PLEASE
Oh PLEASE , let this not be another Caluris idea. Computers don't lock up bad guys a PO in the flesh does. These computer models don't work. Caluris has sold way too many bosses on his DOC bullshit, and the ability to analyze crime trends. Listen the trend right now is bangers shooting bangers w/o any real fear of police action, due to lack of manpower and misuse of manpower ie: TRU, MSU, GEU. Caluris was and never will be a street copper. How do you expect someone whose street experience you measure w/ an eye dropper to actually come up w/ a viable street crime strategy?
Otherwise, use what we do already on DIBS and the clear system and tell us where the bad guys are doing bad things.
When can we have someone run this dept that knows anything.
I still think a ragtag bunch of guys from callback dressed as clowns running through the ghetto beating gangbangers with 2 foot rubber dongs would reduce crime. They could call it the Insane Dong-Weilding Clown Force.

He now works for the newly created Chicago News Co Op that writes for the NY Times.
The two links below summarize the City of Chicago's Elected Politicians' views toward our pension fund. They do not care what the funding levels are, they merely want the campaign cash from the very same investment managers that they vote on. Keep in mind, whatever money managers donate to the the City Treasurer, they typically donate 10X that amount of cash to Mayor Daley's warchest. Pension Business in Chicago is huge. Investment managers make huge profits off of OUR retirement money.

I guess it's just further liberal DemocRATic rhetoric for spreading the wealth (or lack of it).
Once police manpower (or lack of it) is DRASTICALLY shifted to the ghetto police districts, you can expect the non-ghetto districts to begin sharing in higher crime rates.
Daley is not just f*cking over the Police Dept. He is now expanding it to every citizen in every neighborhood in Chicago ! ! !

To the moron who is still on probation who wrote this post are you serious? First off winning a traffic case usually means 1 thing.....money for the city or state. Who cares if you lose. If you need video to substaniate your testimony to somebody blowing a redlight you need help. Secondly, when the ASA feels they need video for something important like, let's say a DUI, something that can and does result in jail time they make the request for it. Quit acting like a citizen and start acting like a Policeman and remember there is more to this job than traffic tickets.
The funny part of your dumbness is that you equate not being able to bring a video to traffic court with the department using videos to document mistakes make by coppers......I mean come on now are you serious.
Get used to losing cases junior....wait till you and your partner fight with someone and the state nolle's your probable cause....Teamwork at it's finest!! Makes ya wonder if anybody reads the arrest narratives!!

boston fire dept just awarded 19% over 4 years! wow unreal...thanks fop
You young go-getter Hair Gels have fun and knock your socks off sucking the bosses asses for what they'll make you believe is another "elite" unit.
Spend the entire hot summer chasing the "usual suspects" around the ghetto for that dope pinch. Impound those cars and write those parkers and ANOVs and maybe those supervisors may hang out with you at Dugans for a few beers after work where s/he will regale your impressionable young mind with war stories that happened before they got on the job while claiming them as their own. All this done to further brainwash your feeble minds. Just don't step on your dick too hard, or that "boss" that says he "always got your back" will disappear faster than your measly retroactive check.
Me? I'll be enjoying the whole summer off again while having beers on the lake at the summer home with family and friends. BBQs, fishing, lazy afternoons on the pontoon, local concerts and festivals, 4th of July fireworks, etcetera, etcetera.
You guys and gals be safe out there and I'll see you when school starts in September.
ASA's request in car camera videos on a daily basis. Get a clue kid. If its just a traffic courtroom and not a major room, it's unlikely they are set up for watching the vids anyway. Tell the attorney you have video and ask them to request it.

Are you serious? Do you read some of these idiotic rants? Take a look at your own sentence structure and see if your observations are that of a credible critic, or otherwise.
hey scc and others... take a look at this story from the chicago breaking news website.. now this is a classic.
"A man who received a parking ticket in Bartlett now faces criminal charges after authorities said he stained the citation with human excrement before mailing it back to the village.
Officials said Alexander J. Bailey, 22, of the 6N600 block of Medinah Road in Medinah, was arrested last week charged with disorderly conduct after a village hall employee found brown stains and a foul odor on the ticket and alerted police, authorities said. The original ticket was for $15, Bartlett police said.
Bailey also scrawled a note on the ticket indicated he'd used it to wipe himself, court documents said.
Bailey posted $500 bail and is due back in Cook County Circuit Court on June 11.

You got that almost right, but some also talk to the people they work with. With well over twenty years on and a few other factors, I thank God my guys listen and have kept safe. Sometimes, you ALMOST have to act like Jody and his playmates don't exist.
"He started off with change with good intentions but where did he get his list from,(?)"
To this I will reply BULLSHIT!
I didn't know about the Joe Airhardt incident until not too long ago. I can't help but think that that was a factor that made Daley pick him. If he could leave a cop bleed, you get the picture. Good intentions and his Things to Do List, How about CUT COSTS, so Daley can spend money on his pall, so no promotions, so no contract, so no hiring. That's his list.
Stay safe, we need to get rid of Daley, J-Fled and his Crew, and then I've got my own list of things to do.
Sorry but I am only going to give 2% ~ MAYBE!
FAX came out today asking for Sgt's to volunteer for this Summer Freak Fest. They are seducing them with 10 hour days, but it says that DOG's will be determined when you get there. 90 day detail. have fun working 10 hour days...too bad they are not telling you that you will be on straight days off - T/W/R. Working every freaking weekend. Anyone volunteers for this, you are a giant tool!
The problem is utilizing the units we have now! MSF, TRU, GEU, SAT are all being utilized incorrectly. There needs to be (1) unit that targets areas all over the city.
--------
Totally agree.I don't understand why do we need MSF, TRU, and , Saturation. We don't need another unit or fucking strategy because as long as we have bosses who are scared of their own shadows not to get booted from their sweet posts, nothing will change in this fucking Department. Combine TRU and MSF to 200 Police Officers (throw those fucking movers, parking tickets and ANOV books)
, disband Saturation (I mean no disrespect to you guys)because they serve no purpose and send the rest BACK TO THEIR ORIGINATING DISTRICTS and fill up those beat cars. Problem solved!!!!
Fucking admit it. SOS got out control, but, they got the job done and did it on their own without the help of anyone else....
And to: The laffer is the Clowns that will be lining up 4 deep to strap on the Taser & tote the M4 in the hopes they'll be noticed by some boss & find their way to a beloved "spot". Sellout Suckholes, You know WHO you are!!
A big FUCK YOU to you, I don't need to impress any Boss just to carry my M4. I fucking carry it to protect myself, my co workers, and my family. I bet you're a midget fat ass who repeatedly failed the power test. GOOF!
Four words.....Time and a Half.
I know where to get more manpower, Since the department is at least 25% over in manament, let's put them back to their regular, lower paid jobs, stick them in a squad car and let them play the police.
Also, most of those over paid civilian appointees that are making near or over 6 figures could be replaced by light duty, injured officers.
This should give us several hundred more on the street.
Ten years ago they sent us to school to learn how to CAPS. We were told that all you have to do is have a meeting, strategize, priortize, focus and the problem goes away. What happened? I think we should form a cirle by holding hands around all 25 districts, sing-"Give Peace a Chance" fart, turn in time due slips and see what happens.
Weis will publicize the new Unit's name tomorrow:
Computer
Heightened
Intensity
Cooperative
Knowledge
Emergency
Nucleus
Joint
Forces
Law
Enforcment
Division
It was sugggested to Weisel and he thought it sounded impressive. He immediately appproved it.
A typical fed uses statistics and is out of touch with reality. You can't stop a homocide.
But, we only got 1% this year so, let the bodies hit the floor!!!
Don't we have "Predator" drone planes to wipe out the insurgents?
Now that would be flipping hilarious. There would be no airspace availabe. Can I get an Airstike?
J-Fled better not ask me to put on my BDU's.
"a block by block computer analysis"? Ya know, the military also runs computer war games and scenarios, but when the shit hits fan, you still need boots on the ground to accomplish the mission.
--Former DevilDog
Isn't this what saturation teams do now? They are at the direction of the deputy chief already. Are they gone and another team coming in or are we now having more teams pulling out of the area under the direction of the deputy chief?
From an area 3 sat team member who wants the truth!
Im a Sergeant in the MSF and I can honestly say that we are being worked to death chasing these thugs down, we are not anywhere near the strength we were when we started in Oct 07, now they want to detail 100 more people in here and strip the districts, what BULLSHIT, The only way to slow down , now the key word here is slow down not stop these goofs is to lock them up, zero tolerance, no dice games, drinking, driving without license, etc, no spitting etc. but we all know that this won't happen because the city management team SUCKS, we have a chief of staff, Daley who could care less about us and the city, he only cares about his pals, he could care less about his former Bridgeport area, he has given up , but when he leaves he will have a TON of money, this guy is ridiciously corrupt and untouchable, so he can say he loves Chicago or whatever, but he lies. I wouldn't even think about taking this 90 day detail,
Off Topic.
Vote tomorrow Thurs. all day at Taft H.S. for Local School Council (LSC). Anyone over 18 yoa. can vote that lives in the district. Vote Walsh for Police point of view on the council. Stop by on you personal. They found out he's the Police and did not allow him in the ballot position lottery, against their own rules. So according to him you will find him on the bottom of the ballot. 6am to 7pm, 6530 W. Bryn Mawr, Tell family and friends to VOTE WALSH
THANKS SCC
The new plan also creates a centralized 100-person citywide mobile force made up of selected and volunteer police personnel that is dispatched based on gathered intelligence. Deputy chiefs would dispatch detective-area officers to battle crime, with the citywide team serving as backup, Weis said.
**Selected and volunteer police personnel? Is this an Overtime opportunity?
Detectives hitting the streets to battle crime? WTF?!?
Its that time of the year again. Everyone goes back in Uniform starting next period April 29th. To make citizens feel like there are more police!!! Great stragedy bu J-Fed.
OT For those that are talking about the contract the worst thing was the random testing.
**Can they please randomly test the Lt on days in my district????
WIESel, just go....leave already!
Your so-called 'plan" makes as much sense as a civilian moderating the monthly MARS meetings...just a second. What did you say? Masters? Really?
....never mind.
Saturate with TMAs. As soon as violence simmers...Bam! Parkers for everyone.
Heard that someone from the policy group with less than 2 years on the job is the self-proclaimed computer genius that came up with this lame-ass "crime-prediction" computer program. His last name starts with a "G" and ends with "Stein". Boys and girls, we're in deep shit if this guy is being taken seriously. Just another hack with no police experience trying to make a name for himself!
WHY WAIT A WEEK????????
START ACTING NOW, WE THE PEOPLE CAN'T WAIT A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY WORD ON WHEN THE CITY COUNCIL IS SUPPOSED TO VOTE ON THE CONTRACT??????
*******
I saw the fax that just came over from 35th street at 1841hrs. " The Supt(J-Fled)
announced a 90 day detail for full duty personnel to MSF or TRU. I have 17yrs on and filled out my Par form until I realized the fax also stated "Personnel will not have a furlo during 5th 6th 7th period and if they do they won't be adjusted to work this detail"
What the fuck is that!?
So J-Fled the Genius would rather have a 4yr wonder than me who worked on the south side my first 12yrs. WTF!!! Would you rather have kid or a seasoned vet ? How the fuck does J-Fled still have a job!!!??!!!??!!!?? I would rather have a team of vets covering the worst hoods in the west and south than a bunch of young guns. Don't get me wrong,I have no Ill will toward new guys but it is dangerous for any of us to be out west and out south and I don't want to read about some poor new kid getting hurt when it could have been me and maybe just maybe I don't get hurt. On 2nd thought we got a 2% raise so FUCK THIS CITY !!
FYI to all:
Larry Yellen (FOX-Chicago) was observed "parked" in South lot of the Wentworth (002nd) District last week. No, not in the front turn-around as the media is normally allowed. Parked in the rear of the station, with no valid explanation as to why.
Be aware. I'm sure it wasn't for a segment on Police Memorial month.
Late notification. . . someone fumbled
I give up. Enough about police work/strategies. Not important. On to the most pressing topic of the day: Anyone know where I can get a good BBQ dinner?
J-Fled is asking for volunteers for a 90 day detail to go to Tru and Mobile strike force. If they don't get volunteers they are gonna use reverse seniority to fill the spots. He sent a list of how many he wants from each dist and unit. So he has to know that since we just got fucked with a 2% raise that not a single cop is gonna volunteer for this fucking thing. The worst part is he is gonna draft 50 kids with 3 or 4 yrs on the job who are tired of writing tickets or just wanna try something new and send them to the worst parts of Chicago!! My heart goes out to the families of these kids because this could be a huge and possibly deadly mistake. FOP is there anything we can do for these guys? If I have to I would volunteer if it means some poor kid doesn't have to go but ONLY if some kid got picked. Be safe this summer my brothers and sisters.
Just saw J-Fled at HQ and he almost ran into the elevator and hit the button so he didnt have to ride up with me !!! What a goof!
How can Jody take all these cops out of patrol and units to fill his fantasy troop?
50 coppers to TRU and MSF and about half from Airport, Mass Trans., Narc your gonna get a lot of work out of them, they dont work for the boss they answer to everyday, imagine how they will act owards a Sgt they wont see in three months.
Cook County Hospital were the best at gunshot wounds because they had soooo much practice.
What will happen to our pour unfortunate gang bangers now that Obama has his shit healthcare system. Maybe a GSW will be declared a pre-existing condition in certain neighborhoods?
All this NEW technology, Tasers, M4's, collapsible batons. These things do not mean a thing unless you put in EFFECTIVE police work.It is time for the 10+ year officers to bring back the LUSTRE this great department had!
how about dumping all these task forces and adding extra beat cars to the most troubled beats. First ensure that all cars are manned 10-4 then maybe have a 711a and a 711b if need be.
Bartuch will be gone most of the summer, courtesy of tax payer money for high speed army training.
12 PO's being detailed from the airports....my sides hurt from laughing my ass off.
Every district has a few Universal Soldiers that have no clout, part of no teams, and no respect. These same guys are putting zeros on the check off sheet. All they have to do is become activated with good morale and something in writing keeping them from lawsuits. You will watch these couple hundred guys in the city make the gang members wish the never left the crib. You have seen some of these guys walking around in every district.
Boaton Police were among the highest-paid city employees last year, according to city figures released to the Globe earlier this year. Of the 125 highest-paid employees, all but one were police officers. In 2006, the average uniformed police officer made $113,617 , including $35,600 in detail and overtime. But union officials maintain that the overtime and detail pay are not part of an officer's normal pay and can fluctuate.
OMG! 12 P.O.'s from the airports? LOL ROTFLMAO LOL... can i get an event number?
I gotta run, I'm sorry

How many of these do you think will be reverse seniority? 90%?
If I was a north sider with no time on, I might bid to MSF just so I wouldnt have to go to TRU, and of course if I was a south sider I would bid to TRU so i wouldnt go to MSF. If I'm gonna get screwed at least I can be as close to home as possible.
Luckily for me I have 20yrs on and won't be going anywere, well excecpt furlough, Full 7 :)
Meanwhile, I almost never see a CPD car on the block where I live except when there is street cleaning.

MSF started in October 2008. It just seems longer.......
Where are they going to put all these new officers in TRU. Parking lot is full upstairs is cramped tight and very limited lockers. Well if the city removed the fucking cells there would be more room in that shithole.

Just an Old Gresham Ranger Says, I think if they take another 100 P/O's ( volunteers), and Sgts from Patrol, the F.O.P should file a OFFICERS SAFETY GRIEVIENCE, against the DEPT. Someone is going to get hurt or worse because of the shortage OF Man power in the alleged, (Ask any Boss),BackBone of the Department.

Re: The District starring Craig T. Nelson and "political correctness".
Talk about P.C. run amok, one episode of The District had me rolling on the floor laughing.
A middle aged black woman is abducted in Washington, D.C. (check D.C. racial demographics) and tossed in a Town Car trunk by her yet unseen abductors. Unbeknownst to the kidnappers, she has a cell phone. With hip hop "music" blasting from the cabin, she calls the Metropolitan Police. They triangulate on her transmission and pull over the vehicle in the last minutes of the program. She has been saved.
Meanwhile, a couple of black MPD officers pull the young thugs out of the Lincoln: three Caucasians who look like frat boys from the University of Wisconsin. They finally appear before a black judge. Fuckin' hysterical!
This is just one more reason to pass up the Sergeants test when it comes around!

O/T to those of you who believe that 017 doesn't have any crime to speak of...you are complete morons...I know that the common perception is that all the hard chargers go to the ghettoes of 015, 025. 003 and 011 and get some time under their belts...some stay in those districts for their entire career and I give them their props..however, having said that, I am a working P.O. in 017 and deserve a little respect..for whatever reason, this is where I am right now in my career and while I never disparage those who make the choice to work in the some of those most violent districts in the city of Chicago, I am also tired of those same hard chargers who constantly attack P.O.s who work in 017 and 016..maybe you have not noticed but our shirts are all blue and some of us work very hard no matter where we are assign....so the next time some of you hard chargers come to a quieter district with your ghetto attitudes and the holier than thou attitude, maybe you will take a moment and say "how dare I judge another blue shirt especially when I don't know that person and I don't know what his/her experiences have been?'' There are a few police officers in 017 that have worked there their whole careers who have shot and killled someone either off duty or on duty...that is something not every fillmore ranger can claim so why dont' you all think before you speak..its annoying and childish this constant judgment of north vs. south vs. west sides...grow up already....

Smoque is not overpriced, it is very affordable, and it is not a southside ghetto joint. You can keep your place at 106th and whatever...there are actually NORMAL people eating at Smoque. You don't have to worry about getting shot.
Did the new Commanding officer in the Supts office come up with all this BS? A Sgt in the 1st deps office for years, retired and DS made him his director, then SOMEHOW gets made commander of General Support. Which is a civilian spot, does his damage there and NOW JFEDs commanding officer. WTF?! He may end up the next Superintendent in his civilian capacity. MORALE, WHATS THAT?

I wouldn't give them "props". They are idiots. I'd rather work close to home and take pride in the police work I do. Who cares if a couple west or south side jog-off's want to shoot each other? Who care's if a neighborhood wants to rape, rob, and pillage each other? Let them. All they want to do is sue you. Screw them, screw their community leaders, and screw their so called reverends. I'll work in the quiet district close to home and make sure it doesn't happen in my own back yard. You can go to the bar and brag about the hero that you are in the ghetto. Have fun at IPRA and Corporation Counsel. :)
The Department will have etch a sketchs issued to every unit by mid July. They will be used for accident investigation and crime scene proccessing only. Any officer abusing this device will be abused.

Are you kidding me?
He was a patrolman in the 1st Deputy's office in the early to mid 80's.
When he finally made Sgt. - he went directly back to the 1st Deputy's office.
When he retired he went back to the 1st Deputy's office.
This guy has NEVER worked the street!
He doesn't know squat about being the police.
All he EVER WORKED ON in the 1st's office was the transfer order!
NOTHING ELSE!
All those years - no lie - just worked on the transfer order!
