No More Code 049?
Firstly, comments are popping up that the Springfield Memorial Service was sparsely attended, at least as compared to years past. We did notice significantly less publicity leading up to the event, but as the largest law enforcement agency in Illinois and an agency that lost officers in recent years, the Chicago contingent ought to be well represented every year.
Second, we've heard from a number of people that someone downtown has decided that the bands will not be carried Code 049 anymore for Department and/or Memorial events. These officers donate generously of their time and talents to honor those taken from us, not only from this Department, but departments across the state and even the country occasionally. They also appear at various functions and graduations.
Anyone from the bands want to comment? Are they taking this away from the Honor Guard, too?

The way things are going with the surge in retirements and lack of hiring, I wouldn't even be surprised if the bands would have to store their equipment and man beat cars full time in the near future.
SAD.
U CAN GENERATE CASH FOR CLINE AND COMPANY FOR THE MEMORIAL ON DUTY BUT U CANT SHOW GRATITUDE FOR THE FALLEN BY PAYING TRIBUTE.
THIS IS ASS BACKWARDS.
Stone park Police officer shot in the face. Per CLTV news
Stone park Po shot in the face, However is in good cond'
For what its worth, thats good news.
Well if you're in a district you see that code 049 is getting out of control. Union reps use it all the time for "Union Business". What "Union Business"? The contract is over and they did a shit job with that whole fiasco!
AS LONG AS THE FRONT OFFICE CAN CONTINUE TO SWITCH THEIR RDOS FOR THE HOLIDAYS EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
I went to Springfield and all I have to say is SHAME ON THE CITY... There was not one squad car sent by the City. All that represented CPD was one of the old box Chevy's and 3 of the old blue and whites with the single bubble gum light. Here we are the "Big City Department" and no representation in the motorcade. I'm Proud to be a Chicago Police Officer, just embarrassed that you have Departments like Peking Police who sent 3 of there marked cars. J-Fled could of at least driven there with a marked car. Oh that's right, that's for the paupers.
P.S.
Hey J-fled, You looked so stupid standing at the podium addressing all the Officers in OUR Uniform. Your a HACK you piece of shit. Someone should have locked you up for impersonating a Police Officer.
8 coppers are representing the department this year by riding bikes 200 miles into the DC memorial along with a LT and the department won't even carry them code 49. They are taking their personal cars and everything. What a slap in the face. Fuck Dugan. I bet he is carried code 49 and his hotel room is payed for by the city
Id say the countless hours these guys get to "practice" while on the clock more than makes up for the few here and there they may have to do on their own time! I mean I attend all the memorials/parades/funerals etc etc on my own time and I dont ask for "code 049"! Too bad...the problem with this department is there are too many cry babies looking for handouts! If you want to go and play a drum or pipe or whatever for the sake of remembering our fallen, great. But as soon as you start doing it because you expect a "code 049" then shame on you! I have to burn my time to be in attendance of many of these, why should it be any dofferent? Ridiculous
The official Chicago Police Department representation at the IL Police Memorial ceremony in Springfield on Thursday was embarrassing.
First of all, there was not a single in-service CPD vehicle in the procession. There were 5 privately owned restored old Chicago squads. These guys came down on their own time. What happened to the nearly 20 line vehicles we had there last year? Each Area Deputy Chief had a marked car as well as the districts/units that lost officers. This year? NONE.
Second- They sent a busload of academy recruits and made them stand in formation at the church in their stupid khaki uniform. Then, some loud-mouthed PO from the academy who thought he was R Lee Ermy stood out in front and literally screamed orders at them like they were in their first day of basic training. All this in front of thousands of survivors, chiefs and officers from around the state. The PPOs were marched back onto their bus before the church ceremony even began and wisked away to the capitol, where they were forced to line the street when we arrived there for the dedication at the memorial.
What's they point of using them for a garnish like parsley on a dinner plate? I understand they are the future of our job...blah, blah, blah... but the memorial cemermony isn't about the future. It is to honor our past and those who have died. Our dead were not honored by having a bunch of young recruits get up at 3am to ride a bus 200 miles and stand at attention all morning too afraid to say anything other than "good morning, sir" to anyone. At least let them wear the full uniform instead of tan shirt and that stupid baseball hat. That was not a well thought plan.
The way to honor those who died is by support from their administration that encourage officers to attend these ceremonies and having the Chicago Police Department represented in an official capacity.
This came directly from Weis.
No code 49, if they want to go they can go on their own time.
And get this, he was PISSED they asked for it!!!
It's going to be a nasty summer. Stay safe!
Stone Park police officer shot in the face
May 8, 2010 7:45 AM | No
A Stone Park police officer was shot in the face early Saturday morning while conducting a traffic stop, police said today.
The incident occurred about 2:54 a.m. when Stone Park police stopped a car for "suspicious activity" near the intersection of Mannheim Road and Division Street in the western suburb, according to Stone Park Police chief Giuseppe Capece. After the stop, someone in a nearby strip mall opened fire on two officers. At this time, police believe there is no connection between the traffic stop and the shooting.
Off Topic:
Why does Juarez HS fly a Mexican flag?
True.
the privilege of code 49 has beentaken away from both bands.
the bands will still do what they do to honor our fallen with our without code 49 - just in smaller numbers because the men and women of the CPD will have to burn time - if it is available...
any truth the the rumor Masters is joining one of the pipe bands...
Stone Park copper shot in the face, hang on brother.
Two shitbirds arrested.
Unbelievable. The city expects everything for free so they can give it all away to those who dont work. All for the almighty vote.
Thats why I dont attend any city/police funtions anymore. Makes me ill.
God Bless our Gold Star Families.
God Bless our fallen heros all over the world!
Thanks J-Fled! What's next?
Keep on getting those numbers
slightly off topic--- the chicago blackhawks put the hurt on vancouver last night to take a 3-1 lead in the best of seven games series.... the hawks come back home sun night.... the sedin sisters and that punk burrows better get out their golf clubs because their season is about to end.... luongo may have won a gold medal in the olympics but he smells like burnt rubber from all the pucks that have been shot at him by the hawks.... scc, please put up a hockey post, a bunch of us are huge hockey fans--- don't worry, you won't mess up the mojo....
talked to a friend of mine that is in the band and they have to take there own time for springfield and dc
Off Subject but IMPORTANT. J-Fled wearing our unifrom is disrespectful to our fallen brothers and sisters. He just does not get it. HE IS NOT THE POLICE AND HAS NOT EARNED THE RIGHT TO WEAR OUR UNIFORM. J-Feld's "Policemen run to the sound of gun fire." J-Fled runs in the opposite direction.
That would be typical from a dept who does not value it's officers! Typical coward shit,j-fled will never stand up for the police,say what you want about Cline but he stood up to the corrupt mayor and left the job after telling mayor criminal what was needed!
SCC,
I find this a bit disturbing. Read some of the comments CLTV.com has posted on their web site. I copy & pasted the following:
A) Wolfpack on May 8, 2010 8:35 AM
Cops should think twice before harrasing people.Suspicious activity my right eye!
B) LARRY on May 8, 2010 10:58 AM
The shooting is payback for police brutality.
C) Bobm on May 8, 2010 9:50 AM
I agree with Wolfpack, the Stone Park Speedtrap would stop everyone if they could.
This needs to be brought up. It makes me sick! Its one thing to not like the police, fine. I accept that. But have a poster post that shooting the POLICE officer and calling "Its payback!!" They need to be held accountable!
OT: A Stone Park police officer shot and where is this in the news? This should be the lead story across the board. Its war on the police all over this country and these "politicians" and media don't give a fuck. The libtards must love it!
yes code 49 DENIED by the supe's office for both bagpipe bands, the honor guard, motorcycle detail for both springfield and wash DC
They took it away from the bands and the honor guard. 99% of what we do is on our own time and at the expense of lost time with our family's. Now they took away the little bit of relief we received so that we could attend the events for fallen officers. Even though I I'm pissed off at the administration for taking this away, I will still attend every event I physically can, for the family's of the fallen officers, not for this ungrateful department.
How can this be a surprise to anyone? FBI agent and all-around pimp Jody P. Weis was not brought here to run the Chicago Police Department but to effectively DISMANTLE it. Look back 2-1/2 years ago when he first got here. Bill Cozzi was one of his first acts. Then the cars. Remember the proposal and "poll" about the new black-and-white police cars? These damn blue-and-white squads are part of our collective persona as a department. From Blues Brothers to Hill Street Blues, everyone knows what Chicago squads look like. You mention that there's a reduction in the attendance at the Illinois Police Memorial.....look at what he's done to the St. Jude march. The sight of 5000 cops marching down Michigan Ave to the magnificent Holy Name cathedral for mass (it IS, after all, sponsored by the St. Jude Police League, an association of Catholic Police Officers) was stirring. Well, that is just TOO stirring and so we'll just move them out of the way where NO ONE will see them. How about the Museum Campus where there will be such a parking nightmare that the citizenry will avoid it like the Black Plague? Yeah.....that's it. And Catholic Mass? No way. We'll have some phony-baloney "interfaith service" after the march that even the heartiest and most devout cops will ignore.
Think of all the movies the Emerald Society band or the CPD Pipes and Drums have been in. I can think of seven or eight right off hand. Um, no....this might lead to some esprit de corps and solidarity among the rank and file. Oh, ok...we'll still have the bands but it'll completely be on their own time and dime. And why TWO bands? Maybe they'll declare the CPD band the "real one" and make the Emerald Society one just ceremonial in nature.
The CPD/CFD football game was a great time and everyone got a little emotional boost from the camaraderie. But J-fled? He spent the whole time talking to Peterson, hardly looking at the field. I'm sure the conversation included discussions about who they're gonna dump and which merit bonehead they're going to promote. Supposedly, there was talk of bringing Jody out at halftime and presenting him a game ball or something. Well, nice idea but he slipped out before halftime, making only a perfunctory appearance.
If there's any way this administration can force a wedge into the department, they do it. Multiple "unit" spots, differing start times, different work schedules all with different day-off-groups, in-car cameras, GPS, crazy patchwork of uniform regulations, etc.
Have a backyard party with your cop neighbors? Better not have a sgt drive by and see anyone drinking. Watch Party? Dead and buried. Anything that'll make you feel even remotely good about being a cop? Like Chicago at the turn of the 20th Century: It's HISTORY.
O'keefe needed to justify his position so he cancelled code 49 for everyone.
If true would it surprise anyone?
99% of the exempts have no honor.
We truly have lost our direction,I hope this is a baseless rumor. Part of our pride eminates from our traditions and our pagentry in honoring those of us who have payed the ultimate sacrifice. When manpower shortages are so severe that time honored traditions are eliminated we truly have become a second class department with second class bosses.
Seems to me like they are slowly and in a very calculated and intentional manner eroding your brotherhood by attacking whatever symbolically connects you as a community and brotherhood. Little by little. Moving the parade route, poor attendance at fraternal events, etc.
I may be wrong but that's what it looks like to me.
---not a cop
Oh well, I'll take time...oops, I mean I don't feel so well.
If this is true, Shame on those who make that decision. No Balls, Cajones, Jewels, Gutless, yeller bastards!!!
O/T...
Had a laugh reading an online blurb... "Fed Chief Bernanke Says Money Can't Buy Happiness..."
He was giving a commencement address at U of S.C.
Can you imagine the feeling of "oh fuck, we're fucked!" going through the minds of those newly minted and deeply in debt graduates and their upright, hard working parents?
Freudian slip like a muthafuckah!
That is possibly the VERY LAST thing that particular audience wants to hear.
Bernanke and the rest of the "Hope to steal your left over change" crowd in the White House are a bunch of damned hollow-assed hypocrites!
Recall: The initial rumblings of the "Stimulus Plan" was to put money in the pockets of tax paying Americans. We recall it was something to the tune of $10k to $20K.
The banks & credit card companies cried like bitches... "WAH, if you give 'em money, they're going to *shudder* PAY DOWN/PAY OFF THEIR LOANS/MORTGAGES/CREDIT CARDS! We won't be able to reap usurious profits from arbitrarily and artificially inflated interest rates! Bail us out instead!"
...just thought we'd distill, filter out the bullshit and share what catches our spying eye... As per the course.
Hmmm...
More well orchestrated fuckery from the 5th floor?
Active attempts to destroy the finer institutional traditions?
Actively driving off experience and veteran perspective?
Actively courting and promoting green as monkey-shit, unseasoned, untested, haven't had two seconds of hard times or adversity on the job field supervisors, district management and exempts?
This foolishness about no more code 049 for the drums & pipes is just another symptom of the the cancer (j-fled & his feeb butt buddies) willingly and intentionally introduced into the soul of CPD by the madly cackling leprechaun?
Life can be quite cruel... He should have progressed no further than being expectorated into a napkin and flushed sometime in July of 1941. Whoops, sorry... The stiff necked parish girls "didn't do unladylike things like that."
A Rorschach blot on the linens then...
Now if only we can do something with the genetics experiment gone sadly awry, parading around in a uniform which he absolutely has no sanctified sacrifice of blood, sweat or tears invested.
Typical feeb... Has the nerve to pull up a chair and eat with everyone else and didn't pay shit but will fuck you because you had a spoonful more than they did.
Hey j-fled, why don't you and your flunkys get your funky, asses back in the kitchen and wash dishes, bitches! You humps should be eating crusts and crumbs, not Coppers.
pray for a speedy recovery for the stone park officer shot in the face last night.. possible bag guy in custody
watch commanders have had to be rather creative in taking care of these folks, they sure make us look good so we should.
You can carry me code 94. That means I only do 6% of what I did five years ago.
This blows...........bagpipes!
Unfortunately this make sense. We dont have the bodies anymore to allow for parades. Nobody signed up for this job to be in a band.
No doubt the brain child of some disconnected house mouse who has spent most of their career inside offices or on desks who would never even dream of taking a little of his/her own time to honor fallen officers.
They give up their own time for practices (while working full time with court and family responsibilities with some having to work side jobs as well), and pay for their own transportation and rooms. And some 9-5 a$$#@le working at 35th (whos very position is a testament to why we are shorthanded) decides this will solve the manpower shortage.
Whoever did this, seep well with the knowledge that you did your part for your masters (from the safety of your office spot) to make this job suck just a little bit more. Congrats, hey maybe some other suckhole will put you in for a problem solving ribbon, wouldnt that be swell..
I really hope this isn't true. My guy is a piper, and I know all too well how much of their own time and money goes into it.
If the Department feels they're not needed, so be it, but I would hope each and every one of them DECLINES to appear when asked to donate their time, use a day of comp time, or wear the kilt for this city.
Make the Honor Guard it's own Unit. This is something that is right and needed to show Respect for and within our own Department...the 2nd largest (Hmmm at least I still think so) in this Country. Carry The Pipes and Drums 049...I LOVE THOSE DEDICATED PERFORMERS...THEY HAVE CLASS!!!!!! They bring a tear to my eye and heart everytime they perform....
WOW. Another proud tradition of the CPD goes down in flames thanks to JFled. When is this era ever gonna end.
how about the guys doing the memorial bike ride to Washington
Karen in Unit 111 is always code 49 never comes to work Right Ray Ray???????? Isnt she going to Narc unit soon and hasnt even made a dope pinch or any arreest in years. Hey media investigate before Ray Ray goes to swat
It's all who you know ;)
I went, and have gone many years. Took my own time, there was not one chicago police vehicle in the procession from the fairgrounds to the church. What a horseshit department. My hopes is that JFLED chokes on one of his man-lovers bones. God bless our fallen
Personally, a lot of us do a lot for the department on our own time and never get Code 49, so I am not all that sympathetic. We play hockey, football, baseball, box, serve as unit reps,do cooperative work with other departments, compete in shooting events, go to conventions, meetings,teach and instruct, lecture, get involved in academic research, on our own time, unpaid. The bagpipers are great, but where do you want to draw the line? I have done several of the thgings I listed, do you want to pay me Code 49, or am I not up to a bagpiper?
If the city doesn't want to pay, OK. A lot of people who have done some of the things I listed, in fact, had to fight the department to even be able to eat their own time. Some were refused and even ran iinto obstructionist supervisors.
If they have to rent a bus and eat eight hours to go to Springfield next year, well it happens.
Its just another way our dear mayor and his trained pooch are doing their best to destroy the police dept.
The citizens, they don't deserve the department, after all, they voted in the drug lords and terrorists they wanted.
I also hear St. Judes was under attended
Can someone help us suburban guys out.....What is code 049????
http://www.suntimes.com/news/24-7/2249592,CST-NWS-bowling08.article
WTF???
Yet another morale booster if it is true. Along the lines of morale boosting, our insider informs us that the new 2nd Watch light duty female P.O. answering the phones at the Area 5 D Unit has had run ins with other department members and is a beefer. Word has it that she was seen making copies of the A&A sheets and may be reporting back to Auditing and Internal Control which people have a "less than legitimate" attendance record.

Paid duty status. Usually done for training classes away from work and police related functions.
Everybody, remember the pipers might get carried code 049 FOR REPRESENTING THE CPD, but they still pay for their own bus to get there, their own hotel rooms and their own food (which costs a lot more than when you eat in your kitchen).
Jane Byrne, thank you for seeing the need for CPD representation, back in the 80's, to honor our fallen fellow officers. It was embarrassing, asking New York to come here to play for our dead back then.
Did you know that those three buses that took the Recruits down to Springfield were paid for by The Police Memorial and The Police Survivors Organization...to the tune of about $3,000.00. This is TRUE!
A Time To Honor Our Fallen...Trampled on by the sh** that now runs our Department.
code 49 is when you are carried as working while you are on a Dept related function.
Taking away code 049 only gives the dept more money this way they can calculate how many they can promote this year.
The way things are going with the surge in retirements and lack of hiring, I wouldn't even be surprised if the bands would have to store their equipment and man beat cars full time in the near future.
5/08/2010 07:33:00 AM
we do man beat cars full time numb nuts
If true would it surprise anyone?
99% of the exempts have no honor.
I would like to know how many have been awarded the Valor, Blue Star or Blue Shield.
I am an FOP Unit Rep and have been one for years. I never once got carried code 049. If I had been on the negotiating committee they would carry me code 049 but not for General meetings. I do all union functions on my own time.
By contract, the Department is required to allow me to attend to union business functions but they are not required to pay me for it.
I go to state conferences, my own time, and national conferences, again my time. I write newsletters answer questions for anyone, help my co- workers any time and will pick up my cell phone for an on duty problem 24/7. All without compensation.
And for this I get cussed out, mother fucked and almost spit at because daley is a fucking corrupt prick of a mayor who will not negotiate in good faith. FOP works hard to improve the contract, when it goes against us we get blamed for "letting it happen."
I am near the end, if anyone would like to run for office and try to make it better please attend 5 general meetings this year and run for office. I will support you because I have had enough. This is my last contract. I am preparing for life without the police department, thank God.
Is it true ?
Mike Mette notified that he is looking at 90 days for allegedly being intoxicated (Iowa)off duty.
fbi lil boys w/o balls.
FREE COZZI
I/F
ok after all the comments, to the two who stated the negative shit ..leave your name so i wont play your funeral..all the stuff we do is own our own time. money paid for uniforms out of pocket. practice once a week on our own time.travel expenses out of our own pocket. join the dept as an officer and joined the band to use my other talents to honor those brothers who have gone, and to help raise money for those needing help..oh yea on our own time..the codes where nice and helped out..but guess what tough guys we are still going to perform and help out regardless of any fn code. but hey thanks for the support. anytime you'd like to thank me in person im at the academy every thursday night ask for Tony. lead stick Emerald Society pipes and Drums of the Chicago Police Department...ps there are two bands because you know cops cant get along..enough said..AKA..LIFM
This goes to prove that Feds have no respect for Police Officers!
Why should we take orders from this buffoon J-Fled?!
Fuckin Jackass!
This came directly from Weis.
No code 49, if they want to go they can go on their own time.
And get this, he was PISSED they asked for it!!!
5/08/2010 09:21:00 AM
Hey Jodi Weis, A big FUCK YOU, U DICKHEAD FED!
From the Pelon!
I'm Proud to be a Chicago Police Officer,
I disagree I think this Department has turned to shit, to many jello officers. I'm leaving within the year. I'm going to burn my uniforms move where there is very little hate, then tell my neighbors I retired as a bus driver.
Id say the countless hours these guys get to "practice" while on the clock more than makes up for the few here and there they may have to do on their own time!
Your an ass. My Husband is in the band and we have to sacrifice Money lots of money if you think the hotels,airline tickets, His uniform cost Thousands of dollars Look up what a set of bagpipes cost. Numerous practices hours on days off- My children love and support him because he loves making others happy when they see the band. You sir are a sorry jealous cry baby. If you don't like it I suggest you buy a set of bagpipes then take 3-4 years and learn how to play. sickening
Second- They sent a busload of academy recruits and made them stand in formation at the church in their stupid khaki uniform. Then, some loud-mouthed PO from the academy who thought he was R Lee Ermy stood out in front and literally screamed orders at them like they were in their first day of basic training. All this in front of thousands of survivors, chiefs and officers from around the state. The PPOs were marched back onto their bus before the church ceremony even began and wisked away to the capitol, where they were forced to line the street when we arrived there for the dedication at the memorial.

Our dead were not honored by having a bunch of young recruits get up at 3am to ride a bus 200 miles and stand at attention all morning too afraid to say anything other than "good morning, sir" to anyone. At least let them wear the full uniform instead of tan shirt and that stupid baseball hat. That was not a well thought plan.
The way to honor those who died is by support from their administration that encourage officers to attend these ceremonies and having the Chicago Police Department represented in an official capacity.
5/08/2010 09:22:00 AM
Using recruits for the memorial started with Lodding. It was a continues to be a stupid idea. The staff will receive overtime but they use recruits as laborers. What is the message for the recruits? No overtime and make them work a 12 hour day. What do they learn from this event? Nothing.
OT:

5/08/2010 06:25:00 PM
That is a total waste of money. That is hard to understand why we need to pay for buses so recruits are ordered to attend the function as ushers and gofers. Whose idea to pay for this mess?
True. It's also true that in past years when the manpower wasn't drained to create bullshit special units, and many of the pipers and drummers were in patrol, the WC would look the other way for practice. Of course, we swung around the watches then too. That hasn't happened in years. The only bone the department threw us was the code for funerals, St. Jude and the memorial to Springfield. The majority of us put in our own time, and will continue to do so. Don't be surprised if only a handful of us show up at the next honors funeral though, if there is no code. Chances are no one will get the time. Some Bosses won't grant the code anyway. For the guy whining he doesn't get taken care of to play in a baseball game, I'm sorry you equate that with the Department sending a honor guard to represent us at a memorial where one of our own is being put on the wall. Don't you participate to be part of the brotherhood, for the love of the game, for the chance to spend your time productively, improve your skills, make friends, maybe share a brew and some stories, laugh and beef? And if it benefits a charity, that's the icing on the cake. That's pretty much why I will continue to play my pipes. I could give a shit whether the department supports me or not. I ain't doing it for them. I'm doing it for my FTO, who was killed in the line of duty, and for my friends and co-workers who were also stolen from us. I also will continue to play just because they are SO DAMN AWESOME!!!!
PIPE ON!
Did Mike Mette just get shafted AGAIN???
Karen in Unit 111 is always code 49 never comes to work Right Ray Ray???????? Isnt she going to Narc unit soon and hasnt even made a dope pinch or any arreest in years. Hey media investigate before Ray Ray goes to swat
IF TRUE THIS SHOULD GO TO THE BGA OR GRAND JURY =SHOW ME THE ANA SHEETS and the DETAILS that She went to
The Mayor's guards and Burkes as well should be code 49..Non police punks they are.
JUST REMEMBER WHEN J-FLED LEFT THE COUNTRY A FEW WEEKS BACK WITH HIS ELITE STAFF.
THEY WERE ALL CARRIED CODE 49.
MAYBE HE CAN LEARN ABOUT HOW TO SOLVE MURDERS?
OR LEARN HOW TO CATCH TERRORIST?
EXPERT MY ASS

Your an idiot! and if you are the police, I am sure your worthless! God forbid you die in the line of duty and when they have your funeral there will be no honor gaurad at your wake and funeral, no motorcycles leading the procession, no pipe band bringing the sounds of honor and tradition to your death. All these things mean so much to the family and friends of the fallen. If you can't understand that, if you can't understand the honor and tradition that comes with this job, then leave and go work at city hall where they know absolutely nothing about honor, you will fit right in!
How often does the policy group go code 49? Do the female policy group members ever work on their private org. "The Women's Tactical Association" on department time? We wonder...
To the poster at 9:12 am who burns his own time to attend everything.....show me copies of the slips and Ill kiss your ass in front of headquarters....and Ill still play at your funeral if you get killed, even though you are a stroke.
There was a fax message last week listing the department members to be carried code 049 for the National Police Memorial.

She was a lock-up keeper and that's it before she swooned J-fed. Narcotics? I doubt she has ever done surveillance. When your a pretty face anything is possible I guess.
I play for one of the bands...just wanted to say thanks for the support here....we don't do anything just to get these codes...it only happens a couple times of year and many of the events turn out to be almost a full tour....the code makes it a lot easier on the family the few times we do get it and it is nice not having to burn time....but again it is not that often and for every 8 hours i get from the department to play at an event, I put 20 more into practice and playing other events. ..we just don't play at funerals.....we do a lot of charity events and other police related functions that are on our own time.....thanks again for the support and if this department never gives me another code 049, Ill burn time to do what I can to honor fellow officers.
A suggestion from the outside....
If ever, all the Police get together as one voice, you will win.
As long as they (Daley, Jfled & Staff) divide you, they will win.
Find a cause or reason, get together & try it. I guarantee they have no chance.
They rule by intimidation. Start by working together as one.
As they say there is no I in Team.
GOOD LUCK

How often does the policy group go code 49? Do the female policy group members ever work on their private org. "The Women's Tactical Association" on department time? We wonder...
They must be doing work on company time because you can go to their website and if you reply to them on email they use their department email address.
I brought this up on J-Fleds little blog and go figure there was never a response to my inquiry.
I got the below email. Is this true?
Will it ever end? The department just sent Mike a notice he is being given a 90 day suspension. They are saying it is for being drunk and getting arrested. Strange since they didn't get a breath test from Mike and the appeallate court said he should have never been arrested. And they wonder why the morale is so low.

This goes to prove that Feds have no respect for Police Officers!
Why should we take orders from this buffoon J-Fled?!
Fuckin Jackass!

NOT the feds as a whole! DEA,USSS, Marshals, have some serious respect for us! The love it when they are assigned to a Task-Force or when the get to get their hands dirty with Chicago (or any big city) Police!
Its just ONE group... The fucked up thing, during their academy, the instructors are constantly blowing smoke up the recruit’s asses by saying "you are the elite of the law enforcement community"...
Using recruits for the memorial started with Lodding. It was a continues to be a stupid idea. The staff will receive overtime but they use recruits as laborers. What is the message for the recruits? No overtime and make them work a 12 hour day. What do they learn from this event? Nothing.
5/08/2010 09:04:00 PM
I disagree, they learned that Loading is a useless company Nit-Wit… Welcome to the Job, kid…
So if they are ending code 49, I guess masters, georgas, and ray-ray took comp time and paid their own way to go to Isreal for the week. DOUBT IT!!!!!
Oh yeah don't forget the national police memorial next week, how many of those at 35th street will take comp time? I bet there will be plenty of code 49's to go around, some rightfully so, but a lot just go because its a free week away from work. I would venture to say that some will use that in place of working operation protect youth.
This department needs an enema!!!!

I am an FOP Unit Rep and have been one for years. I never once got carried code 049. If I had been on the negotiating committee they would carry me code 049 but not for General meetings. I do all union functions on my own time.
By contract, the Department is required to allow me to attend to union business functions but they are not required to pay me for it.
I go to state conferences, my own time, and national conferences, again my time. I write newsletters answer questions for anyone, help my co- workers any time and will pick up my cell phone for an on duty problem 24/7. All without compensation.
And for this I get cussed out, mother fucked and almost spit at because daley is a fucking corrupt prick of a mayor who will not negotiate in good faith. FOP works hard to improve the contract, when it goes against us we get blamed for "letting it happen."
I am near the end, if anyone would like to run for office and try to make it better please attend 5 general meetings this year and run for office. I will support you because I have had enough. This is my last contract. I am preparing for life without the police department, thank God.

The Only Thing You Left Out Is That All FOP Unit Reps get their entire dues refunded every year at the FOP Christmas Party (100%), and all watch reps get Half of their dues back (50%).
Oh, you forgot about that little perk!
And it's paid by Check!
Nobody works for nothing!
Did that stop when Ray Ray went to Israel? WTF there is no money but jackass has a takehome car and gets a free week in Israel.My tax dollars at work
If Karen from Policygroup gets Narcotics then FLOP and every po should file a grivence
FOP works hard to improve the contract, when it goes against us we get blamed for "letting it happen
BULLSHIT! If FOP had any type of sense let alone a pair of balls they would be crawling up shortshankls pants leg and pulling on his pubic hairs.
They should be dragging the city in to court non stop. But all FOP does is exactly what shortshanks tells them.
How much more will it take for us to finally band together and fight this little prick? Fuck You FOP!

I will wager this rant on a blog is the extent of your involvement in trying to make things better for yourself and your brother and sister officers.
Why don't you lead the charge? You know, of us banding together and fighting the little prick like you suggest. Have at it, you sound like a born leader.

You're right, I forgot that one. Approx $440 a year. Want it? You're welcome to it. That $37 a month really made the difference last year in whether I bought the 4 or the 5 year old Toyota.
But you have to attend half the FOP General meetings to qualify for that windfall.

Good lord! I wish all you puck ass newbies on this job would learn the correct language.
It is NOT ANA
It is an A & A (Attendence and Assignment report - done by the watch secretary or timekeeper)
It NOT Role Call
It is ROLL Call (The calling of the rolls - or names for you real idiots)
Anyone else want to add what bothers you, as said by all these kids coming on this job!

This guy has a little man syndrome.
He thinks that he is in charge of ALL recruits!
He screams and yells at them and eggs them into confrontations for no reason.
He goes off on recruits every day!
He is out of control. (The sad part is that someone let him be in the Peer Support group)
He does not offer any pertinent, appropriate, significant training to the recruits as all he does is seek them out in the hallways to yell at them.
He needs to be psyched. He is that out of control!
Yet another morale booster if it is true. Along the lines of morale boosting, our insider informs us that the new 2nd Watch light duty female P.O. answering the phones at the Area 5 D Unit has had run ins with other department members and is a beefer. Word has it that she was seen making copies of the A&A sheets and may be reporting back to Auditing and Internal Control which people have a "less than legitimate" attendance record.
5/08/2010 06:07:00 PM
I have to call B.S. when I see it. There is no light duty female P.O. working the 2nd watch desk in Area 5 D Unit. And by the way, the A & A sheets are all done on the computer. Stop trying to start shit.

Sure, tell that the copper they beefed on for, in their opinion, using too much force on a prisoner.
Thank you to the Emerald Society / CPD Pipe Band and Honor Guard for what you do...The fact that they are not being given the code to pay respect to our fallen, especially in a year when we and officers added is a travesty. I may give a year if and when we are fortunate not to be adding someone, but that is still debatable.
Weis came from an agency where they get ahead by stepping on their co-workers, nothing has changed. Some of the decisions being made are to impress him or jockey for his inevitable departure.
The Emerald Society / CPD Pipes and Honor Guard should get the code, who's got the balls to make it happen...?

Nobody signed up for this job to be in a band.
I work a beat car along with being a member of the band, and your point is?

Leave Al alone. He means well. He has a different approach to recruits. Al believes that very strict discipline along with severe punishment will acomplish the goal of earning respect of recruits. Al has a goal to make the academy a place of respect. Just ask him.

Detroit Just drive the knife in deeper JFLED We will do less U will be fired come Labor Day and You Will Never Ever have a cop job again but the city will suffer and be in ruins. Stand up to the mayor he is going to fire you any way
"Nobody signed up for this job to be in a band."
When I went to Army basic training the guys who signed up FOR THE BAND were getting paid two pay grades higher than I was! (PV1 v. PFC).
...maybe the band wasn't such a bad option...
"Its just ONE group... The fucked up thing, during their academy, the instructors are constantly blowing smoke up the recruit’s asses by saying 'you are the elite of the law enforcement community'..."
They've got EXCELLENT P.R.!
J. Edgar sold them as the most elite of the L.E. community and they're still riding on that!
What they DO have is money. Lots of money. Congress is also buffaloed into thinking that these folks are the best of the best.
It's all P.R. and as you all know, it's all B.S.!
"The Only Thing You Left Out Is That All FOP Unit Reps get their entire dues refunded every year at the FOP Christmas Party (100%), and all watch reps get Half of their dues back (50%)."
Oh, come on now. I'm not an FOP rep nor a watch rep, but what we're getting by REFUNDING these men and women's dues is well worth it.
If you don't agree, try being the watch rep or unit rep sometime.
AS LONG AS THE FRONT OFFICE CAN CONTINUE TO SWITCH THEIR RDOS FOR THE HOLIDAYS EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
Switch? In 024 they are allowed to work the holidays without having to "switch." Of course they are put on made up beat cars and never get a job. One holiday by mid morning the dispatcher started reading out pending jobs so I send them a message asking how can we have pending jobs when the sheets are full?
The response? They told me that they were given a list of cars that were to be "held down" on a detail. Those cars were manned by office personnel.

This officer is a professional and a victim of malicious rumors. He followed orders in Springfield as any other officer would. If you believe he has a problem in the academy, tell him to his face. I think he will respond appropiately. Otheriwse get a life you troll.

Professional? That is a joke, right?
Name calling is not necessary, Al.
These are NOT rumors, thius was witnessed.
Whose orders did he follow in Springfield, the ones he heard in his own head?
There was a reserve first sgt. (academy staff memeber) on location that should have given the orders, yet this LITTLE MAN decides that with no prior military background he will bark out the orders to the recruits like he is a R. Lee Ermey!
How does one approach someone that is a legend in thier own mind? This guy talks like he has 30 years on the job and has done EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE!
He loves to discipline recruits for no reason. Let's cite several that have occurred in the past few weeks:
He felt that a recruit did not know how to put a shirt on properly = recruit class disciplined!
He felt that a recruit did not have properly manicured fingernails = recruit had a professional manicure and he ridiculed them for that even though the manicure met with the gym standards! Recruit class disciplined!
He felt that a recruit class did not have proper supervision, so he stepped in to become the pseudo hri = he is not the assistant for either of these classes and should have nothing to do with their roll calls! Recruits CANNOT stand this guy! Recruit classes forced to do physical activity while the State of Illinois guests were upstairs in the building = all so he could TRY and show off!
Recruit class confronted by him and told that his class was "going to meet them outside after work in the parking lot and show them who is better!" This confrontation started as minor teasing until a recruit told him something that he did not like and then he "went off" on the recruit like a balastic missle!
He is NOT professional, does not know how to talk to, treat or mentor recruits. The position has gone to his head and he has become a head case. Recruits shudder when he approaches. They want no interaction with him.
He is becoming the butt of jokes, which is actually pretty funny knowing that they are all laughing behind his back!
As suggested, I am sure that there are several recruits that have gone ahead and written that anonymous letter to the Superintendent and Daley because they feel that there is no one at the academy that will do anything to stop this out of control guy!

The way I hear it from those that were in springfield, the officer u trash did not interact with the recruits and it sounds as though the writer maybe taking it personal. Maybe he is just making those sitting behind a desk feel nervous... don't hide behind a computer step out and show recruit what you know!!! Or maybe that is the problem.
