Police Board Scandal Breaks
A Chicago police officer was charged with lying to FBI agents for denying he took cash from another officer in disciplinary trouble after promising he could influence the board weighing the other officer's punishment.
Victor Brown, 36, a 12-year veteran, was arrested today by FBI agents and Chicago police internal affairs officers on multiple charges of making false statements when he was confronted by federal authorities in February.
Brown is accused of pocketing a total of $4,500 in 2008 and 2009 from an officer who was facing serious disciplinary trouble. Brown claimed he had influence with the Chicago Police Board. But the officer he offered to help worked undercover with federal authorities, wearing a hidden recorder as he passed the cash and surreptitiously recording their telephone conversations.
The trouble is the feebs seem unable to pull the trigger on who was getting the money. This could be huge because Police Board members aren't elected - they are chosen by one person without any oversight whatsoever. And those chosen, if caught dirty, don't really have a bargaining chip to give up.
What did John Kass call them? Oh yeah..."buffers."
And everyone reading knows what has happened to all the "buffers" lately.

Yeah, they have undocumented 'accidents' with trains, guns and rat poison, don't they?
Victor Brown is a real piece of work... He is a straight up criminal punk... Should have been fired at least 3 years ago.... I personally gave him several days on beefs/spars.. If you only knew what this guy has pulled.... And NO he is NOT related to Chief Brown....although Victor will bullshit you into thinking that... Also he has been caught wearing award ribbons for awards he has never gotten!! This guy even had the balls to ask a W/C in a northside district to "borrow" him his credit card so he could pay for his car repair bill!!! Mind you the W/C and Victor know eachother as well as I know Ernie Banks!! This guy could sell a dead man a used car... He is a smooth talker but a criminal who needs to be fired and in jail!

Anyone figure out how the next one is going to get off'ed... err, uuuhh, "go"..
Drown? Plane accident? Fire?
He's been getting away with this crap for years. Evidently he knows someone to be able to continue this type of arrogant activity.
This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg in relation to Police Board corruption and influence peddling.
Media Alert!!!
Please look at the extensive and bonafide disciplinary history of Victor Brown.
Victor has repeatedly violated the law and done things that would land anyone else in prison yet, Victor is UNTOUCHABLE!
The scandal has yet to break SCC. The real question is, will it be buried under the rug like everything else???
What does Ike Carrothers know about this?
Wow,
One of the payoffs occurred in 016 at the Blue Angel Restaurant.
Watch for a completely independent elected Police Board soon.
There will be more on this one.
Once again, the media has not looked into the vast disparity of suspension time and termination accorded for disciplinary infractions on the Chicago Police Department.
I have seen officers terminated on the faintest shreds of preponderance of evidence (total BS cases); and I have seen officers who committed multiple felonies with ample evidence receive a slap on the wrist countless times over the years.
Proof positive of the two-tier system of discipline on the CPD.
Those who have CLOUT can do NO wrong!!!
It is time for the Feds to open up and investigate all Police Board cases that were adjudicated in the last 15 years.
I believe a few officers will finally receive long overdue justice, while a few dirty CLOUT babies might have some explaining to do.
Looks like another Daley Coverup in the making...
Just wait until Loevy and Loevy, Flint Taylor, the People's Law Office, etc start looking into this fiasco.
Maybe the Feds should talk to Alvin Weems.
Quite a few PO's have been talking to the Feds about this over the last two years.
This investigation still has away to go, unless Daley obstructs justice again.
Will J-Fed end the two-tier system of discipline???
These cases are decided long before any PB hearing. It is all phone calls and CLOUT.
Why do you think that Tom Needham wins all of his cases?
Why do you think the first and most important question your attorney asks is, do you have a phone call?
Too many people know, way too much, about how the PB operates and who paid who to kill this one.
Now it becomes obvious why J-Fed sent every PB case to court. Even J-Fed realizes that the Police Board is nothing but a circus of the absurd, smoke and mirror show.
If the Feds put the pieces together on this caper, it will be HUGE!
Victor Brown has a past history of writing bad checks and was always hustling for $$$.
Rumor had it that Victor Brown was related to the President of the Police Board, Demetrius Carney.
It's all legit!
Just wait until the Feds start receiving those anonymous phone calls providing the finer details.
When will the Feds start the Grand Jury investigation?
There are a few guys/gals itching to testify and loaded with info.
this guy was a piece of trash... he himself was stripped 4 or so times in his career and was reinstated byt the police board everytime.. he is a disgrace of a police officer. I hope the feds can pin a good case on him and send him to federal prison for a while... pieces of garbage like this guy should be in federal prison...no bill cozzie
Amazing how the Chicago media establishment loves to tar and feather any copper but fails to publicize this case.
Could it be that Daley has ordered a media blackout on this one?
This goes directly to Daley and his inner circle but is being ignored by the media.
I hate this maggot infested festering cess pool of a city. Why can't people just be honest. Chicago is Hell, and 42 short is Satan.
no way, impossible, you mean that the politically appointed police board was making favorable decisions for financial gain--- no way, not in crooked county.....
no way, not in crooked county.....

I doubt that any member of the police board would be involved in this. Every member has a stellar resume and most make more in a day than Victor Brown can steal.
VB is a piece of work and even if not related to EB was protected by him and promoted by him in the early years. Got put on tact in 003 a minute after he graduated and after EB brought him back from 006/007. Took him to narcotics too, if I recall correctly.
There are certainly problems with the Police Board but I attribute them more to politics and simple laziness. A number of attorneys on the Board seem to have their more junior associates review and write their decisions with no oversight whatsoever. These people don't make any money from being on the Board so they have no motivation to do good work other than "civic pride" and we all know how proud we are these days of our civic leaders.
This will certainly be an interesting case to follow. . .
Is this the same Victor Brown that got jammed up for working security at the theater on Roosevelt with his shithead partner, while they were both on duty? Two coppers who should be in the pen. Everyone knows they are dirtier than most of the shitheads we lock up everyday.
CLOUT RULES!!!
Victor Brown is not bright enough to be a part of any grand conspiracy. He is just trying to steal money from fellow officers.

Is there anything at all in this town that isn't rigged?
All the Feds have to do is take a look at the extensive disciplinary history of Victor Brown to see how much CLOUT he wields with the Police Board.
Victor Brown was not acting alone but in concert with the Police Board.
The Feds could have went up the food chain but chose not to.
Just wait until Loevy and Loevy, Flint Taylor, the People's Law Office, etc start looking into this fiasco.
What do you mean start looking into this, they got problems ( Cortez Brown and others) of their own!
Are you kidding? Nothing will happen. Victor Brown will take a plea bargain. He'll get fired. He'll be back on the city's payroll as an alderscum. This was all just training and proof. He just graduated with honor and notoriety. Next time you see him you'll have to call him Alderman.
Everybody knows that the PB is full of shit. All of their cases where a P.O. did not get convicted of a crime should be thrown out. The general orders are too voulminous for any body to be expected to know. The dispairity in their decisions is crazy unexplainable and can only be explained by clout and influence peddleling and graft. Where are the judges and feds on this one? Maybe the goofball VB will talk to stay out of the joint. Deep six the PB it is insane.
If validity exists concerning Police Board corruption, it is a perfect time for FOP to bring up the idea of allowing disciplinary cases to go to arbitraton instead of the Police Board.
Lots of buffers how about weems, the copper on tape that shot the guy they he gets a nice promotion yes j-fled it's all legit! WILL THE SUPT. PUT HIS FBI MUSCLE ON THIS IDIOT? BROWN IS AN ASSHOLE CRIMINAL, BUT YET J-FLED FUCKS OPVER BILL COZZI DECORATED COPPER AND WAR VETERAN COME ON JODY STEP UP! SUSPEND BROWN NOW WITH NO PAY "JUST DO IT"!
VB is a real piece of shit. The Department has been protecting him for years. Why?
OT- Crime is down? Riddle me this , media hacks.
If Target just had one checkout person and the place was packed and most of the customers dropped their merchandise and walked out pissed. Does that mean that sales are down? Sure, but you have to ask ,why. Well the media never asks why and just drinks the J-Fled batch of kool-aide like the bought and sold chumps that they are.
Free Cozzi, indict the police board, Dump daley, Weis, Masters, Hubie, and everybody else under the bigtop.
Not impressed with the FBI investigation, over two years and all they have is this POS lying to Agents? Watch all these board members start panicking and talking over phones when you know for sure the G will also be listening on their conversations. So much illegal corruption in Illinois, Cook County, and Chicago and the FBI is targeting a nickle and dime crooked cop, not impressed FBI. Show me stroger or daley in cuffs then I will be impressed. Oh by the way your affidavid somewhat outed your CS, I would guess a Male White who lives in 016 who is in call back for mail fraud.
This guy was caught getting free car washes for his personal car saying he was in narcotics. He also was caught getting a free hotel room saying he was on assignment doing surveillance, he has stiffed numerous persons on the job and off with bad chacks. why is he still on the job and Cozzi in jail?

"IF"........
What's the big deal ???? Isn't this "The Shitcago Way" ?
(OT) My neighbor is a retired cpd officer he is now 89 years old, came on the job in 1958, lives on the 6100 block of south Menard, there is an abandoned building on the block at 6145 lots of gang bangers go into his yard to jump over the fence and hang in this house, is there a chance you could drive by when your not busy to chase these punks out? We contacted the caps office in 008 to no avail, is there a city service that could board up or tear down this house asap? Thanks to all the officers.
Released on his own recognizance? What does that tell you, people? Tells me he's cooperating.
Problem is, anyone that knows the clown knows you cannot believe anything that comes out of his mouth. I wouldn't wish VB on my worst enemy.
Someone said this is the same guy that approached the reservation desk staff at the O'hare Hilton a few years ago and asked for a "free room" claiming he needed it for an undercover sting.
He than asked for in room "pay-per-view" movies and hand lotion to be delivered to his room.
Finally, a manager suspecting something was not right called police and 016 arrested him. It appeared in the paper than quickly and quietly "went away."
John Kass can you please investigate?
Police board is crooked to the core! Good "no clout" cops get fired for silly shit or an honest mistake..and guys like this step on their dicks again and again and are still employed!!
WHY?
wondering how this is going to effect upcoming 30-pending case decisions for guys like me...complete BS case, but half-expecting to be made an example of as the new PB looks to take a tough new stance...i'm so fucked, i can just feel it.
That great Waukeegan lawyer Jed Stome workhs with Paul Huebl from Crimfile News as his investigator. They are the team that would shake things up at the police board. These guys are not owned by anyone.
What unit was this Victor Brown in?
I just read the entire complaint. Why is Brown only being charged with lying to the FBI? What about the bribes? And, who is the lawyer Brown says he'll get for the C.I.? That is what I want to know.
Victor has been untouchable by the Board for many many years. He is a criminal plain and simple. Who else owns the police board? Why our very own mean drunk Callahan!!!!! Insubordination, battery against P.Os, assault against supervisors, GUILTY says the Board. Punishment? Suspension. Many others would be fired by the Board.
excuse me, tom needham does not win all his cases--- but tom always gets paid.....
Why has the Department protected this guy for so long?
This would certainly explain the nine lives of victor brown on CPD. Going up the chain, an investigation would tap and tail victor to his chinaman. Did victor tumble onto the heat, triggering this arrest, or did the G really get something?

Victor Brown worked in 003 for a brief time. I was stuck working with him once. Luckily he took time on the end.Didnt trust his ass at all. He got into a heated argument with a sgt. because he took time on the end on numerous days.Isn't he the guy that would place an m-plate on his personal car to get car washes. Im sure there are countless stories of him screwing up.
SCC: You don't have enough space on your sight, to cover this AHOLE's antic. I had the displeasure of metting this POS, about 8 or 9 years ago. HE IS a CONARTIST, this whole incident might have been a ruse....this guys has bounced checks from the credit union, other PO's, businesses across the midwest, wash family and personal cars claiming them to be city vehicles, will stab you in the back faster then a cat can lick his ass. He was shipped up to the 16th dst., to get him as far away from HQ as possible, he'll play the medical rolls, burn up all of his time and still take time due......now what they need to find out is who's keeping this piece of work on the job, incident after incident..........
This is another reason to just give them their two percent. if anyone thinks any part of this job is legitimate, other than giving joe q citizen their b.s. report, they need their heads examined. from meritorious supervisors to the clout babies amongs us at roll call, all the way up to the police board now?? come election time, no votes for the democrats. vote republican all the way, if only to shake up this system.

While I largely share your sentiments that this should be investigated, all too often many of you seem to have the idea that the feds can just jump in anywhere they want to. While I know it seems like that much of the time, please remember that a federal crime has to have been committed, or at least suspected of having been committed. I am no expert on federal crime so I don't know if there is any indication of one being commetted here or not. It kind of sounds like they got Brown for lying to a federal officer, which is always a crime. Remember too, that the federal government has o direct oversight over the states or its subdivisions. It has to do with something about the sovereignty of the states in that inconvenient Constitution.
this is the same goof that got caught using his own car at a city car wash and racked up a couple thousand dollars worth of washes.. not fired.
then he was the goof that had the hotel in rosement give him a room for an investigation
One of the payoffs occurred in 016 at the Blue Angel Restaurant.

Blue Angels has a great selection of toaster strudel.
ike ike ike wtf
LMAO. I remember when I met him. He was so full of himself and had the nerve to be talking about other people nobody liked and asking for time due on credit cause it was his birthday, among other things. I knew then but the clique embraced him cause he was a guy and didn't threaten them at all. They could feel better about themselves. I knew when I first met him and my stomach turned that I had to tolerate him b/c it was soooo obvious. God's Justice-what goes around, comes around-and no one escapes it.:)))))
I'm watching him on the news right now. LMAO:)))!!! The news microphone goes in his face and he's sooooo hungry to speak just for his ego, he just stares at it. Victor, every dog gets his day and yours is here and coming, and I don't feel a bit sorry for you. You earned it in every part of ugly that you are.
Did this guy run for alderman a while back?
"Proof positive of the two-tier system of discipline on the CPD."
Translation: Proof positive that that Chicago and the CPD is rotten from top to bottom with corruption. It would be interesting to know how many coppers paid off before the the guy who had the balls to go to the Feds....see my point?
The truth is, this IS how things are done in Chicago. Not just occasionally, but every day in every way.
"A Culture of Corruption"
its all LEGIT!!!!!!!
Seems Victor has been very busy. Here's a story about him from 2008. How the fuck was this asshole still working for CPD in 2010? WTF!
Trib report:
A Chicago police officer who had been relieved of his police powers was arrested in Rosemont for impersonating an officer, authorities said today.
Victor Brown, 35, of the 10000 block of South Wallace Avenue has been in custody since Tuesday on the felony charge. His bail was reduced Thursday to $5,000.
Rosemont detectives arrested Brown after he went to a hotel and asked for a free room to conduct an undercover vice investigation, authorities said. Hotel employees called police after he asked for lotion and on-demand movies, authorities said.
When detectives arrived, Brown told them his wife works at O'Hare International Airport and that he was waiting for her. Police were suspicious and arrested him, according to authorities.
Larry Kugler, an assistant Cook County public defender, said Brown was relieved of his police powers in March pending an internal investigation.
Brown has been a police office since 1998 and serves in the Near North District, where he fields information calls, Kugler said.
Assistant State's Atty. Matt Fakhoury told Circuit Judge Kay Hanlon that since Brown had been stripped of his police powers, he no longer could represent himself as an officer and argued that the original $50,000 bail should stand.

Yeah, and don't forget the firm Dewy, Screwem, and Howe...
SCC sent you an email regarding Sgt's contract, p57. It's a letter telling how the Department will carry those who resign/retire with open CR's. They will forever be carried "while under investigation" This latest Police Board shit kind of ties into the whole system of unfair discipline the CPD is allowed to get away with. Just think somebody should put it out there because it sure isn't right that a guy hits mandatory retirement with an open CR# he has no control over then gets listed as retired "while under investigation" meaning no retirement star or id or the ability to qualify to carry a firearm as a retired po.
Maybe the Feds should talk to Alvin Weems.
The sad part is he has trouble spelling WEDNESDAY.
The mind of a 3 year old.
How the fuck did he get on this job let along become a dick.
I heard Cline was his juice???
I wonder if he used some of that $4,500 to buy that pimp suit he was wearing as he was strutting out of court yesterday. What a fucking jagoff!
Isn't this the same guy that got caught taking his car to a city operated gas station, filling up his car and saying his personal car was a covert vehicle? Isn't this the same guy that was ordering pizza and then refusing to pay the bill when it was delivered? I believe it is. About 2 years ago I was speaking with the manager of Broken Arrow, a golf course in Lockport. Apparently this is the same guy who ran a tournament there and collected all the fees and then refused to pay the golf course. I know IAD was contacted by the golf course. This guy has someone who has been covering his tracks for many years. Who is that person?
Was in the academy with this asshole.....piece of shit then......piece of shit now!
No surprises here. Move along.

At least 21 weapons --- including MP5 and AR-15 assault rifles --- were stolen from a shooting range belonging to south suburban Harvey police, officials say.
The weapons, ranging from handguns to high-powered rifles, were reported stolen from a trailer on the property of the shooting range at 153rd Street and Campbell Avenue around 9 a.m. Monday, according to Harvey police and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives.
Special Agent Tom Ahern, an ATF spokesman, said his agency was working with the Illinois State Police to determine exactly how the weapons were removed and to trace their histories.

JERK OFF!!!!!!
And aren't they all hand-picked by Daley????
We do wish the G would pursue the members of Daley Inc. with the same zeal, hatred and boundless malice they pursue non-clouted Policemen...
They've treated turn-coats, gang-banging-dope dealing murdering ghetto dogs, hit-men, and the like better than the Police they've been targeting...
Nothing to see here...
Daley Inc. is just hanging on until their blanket pardon by that smooth talking, hollow fellow they expended a lot of muscle and capitol to send to D.C.
The middle class will be reduced to "plantin' taters" along the banks of the Sanitary & Ship Canal while the wealthy and the media say "tsk, for shame." Daley Inc. will laugh and say "NO PENSION FOR YOU" and wipe their asses with our hard earned loot.
Shit.
Tax payers & city employees (especially the Police) are victims of massive theft and civil rights violations of a scale just short of mass imprisonments and transport to labor camps.
No one in a position to give a shit, gives a shit. At least the Police came out when citizens were treated thus.
Who would have thought the phrase "Chicago Police Officer" would become a synonym for "second class citizenship."
Everyone involved in this Police board fiasco should be stripped naked, bricked into a room with a gallon of water, a can of pork n' beans and left to each other's devices and forgotten about.
Hearing their howls of despair would be it's own reward.
The average Policeman has nothing to do with this. This is all by the hand of the stuttering prick...
Could someone please list who is on the police board, with any ties to city politicians!!!!!!
If the cop who gets indicted on his DUI activity gets his cases thrown out; in theory, all police board cases that are under this guy should be thrown out too. Oh, that's right, this is Crook County where anything goes. Suspended p.o.'s should at least try and find a lawyer to file a class action case against them. If one is corrupt, then it should be enough to taint the outcome.
Thinking about this all day, unless "CS" beat the rap in front of the police board, I think this was just a case of Victor praying on CS for money. That would be his best defense. Only explain how he seemed to never get launched for allllll his beefs! And yes, dear reader, he is THE poster child for 'how does a cop get into so much trouble and manage to come back over and over again'...explain that to us other cops.
I hope this one blows up real good! Hopefully, there's it goes further up than just this guy. What goes around comes around!
Maybe the Feds should talk to Alvin Weems.
No, better talk to Phat Phil Cline who not only had everything swept under the carpet but promoted this guy to Detective. Unfuckingbelievable!

The Feds need tofind out who he paid off the times he lost his job. (Pizza robbery, O'Hare airport, car wash) I think he was on Carothers team in housing.
Is it a coincidence that Leo Schmitz's relative and his partner (who allegedly falsified warrants, planted evidence and were tape recorded by "John Does" girlfriend on the phone to plant the evidence at another location) won their police board descision or was the fix in? The case drew attention and fox did a story on it where the girlfriend told reporters that all she wanted was for these officers to be fired for what they allegedly made her do.
What's funny is that all of the reports including the fox exclusive have mysteriously disappeared and are no longer available on the internet now.
Someone went as far as to even remove it from the departments news archives on the computer.
Oh well, they were quietly reinstated and reassigned down town.
OT.... And my question to you is, how much work will we actually get out of Lieutenant's working as Field Lieutenants?
The answer is NONE, the most "not needed" spot in the Dept. So shut the "F" up and do your job, or give up your Lieutenant bars bitch!!!
5/11/2010 04:24:00 PM
I agree big time! Some field Lts seldom get out of the car. Some dont ever leave the station. And they never work a FULL tour. The city is lucky when a Lt works 6 hours.

The witnesses at the police board hearing were impeached for lying...the gang members from Cabrini Green..who go caught lying during the hearing. This bullshit kangaroo court found these mutts credible and fucked Vandermey over. Everyone changed their story except Vandermey. If the board was corrupt in any way..Vandermey should get his backpay and senority reinstated. The "victim" in the Vandermey case....is in the MCC facing 25 years minimum for heading the $8000 a day drug selling business at Cabrini Green...he was already found guilty..but the city and state's attorneys office knew who this drug dealer was when they tried to take Vandermey's livelihood and freedom away. Fuck Dick Devine and the city. Vandermey..there has to be a lawyer who would take your case to get your time and back pay. Maybe Lovey and Lovey...oh wait...Andy Dick Lovey was one of the ones calling for your head.
SCC: You don't have enough space on your sight, to cover this AHOLE's antic. I had the displeasure of metting this POS, about 8 or 9 years ago. HE IS a CONARTIST, this whole incident might have been a ruse....this guys has bounced checks from the credit union, other PO's, businesses across the midwest, wash family and personal cars claiming them to be city vehicles, will stab you in the back faster then a cat can lick his ass. He was shipped up to the 16th dst., to get him as far away from HQ as possible, he'll play the medical rolls, burn up all of his time and still take time due......now what they need to find out is who's keeping this piece of work on the job, incident after incident..........
ARe talking about V. Brown or the wired guy?
did you read the complaint based on the conversations it appears this Brown is a flim flam man and was making all this up. He walked right into an FBI sting operation. He was up in area 2 after he failed to pay a pizza delivery guy several times, yet the pizza place loved the CPD and refused to testify because of fear of retaliation from CPD members who frequent his business and that his brother was on the job. Victor Brown is a piece of work and hope he is flim flammed and rammed in jail
Brown trying to make money is all that happened. He has been a scammer from day one.
If you read the complaint, he doesnt know shit about the operations of the board. They didnt know of the officers case because the po was still working and not given 30 pending. They find out about a 30 pending right after sup signs off and its hand carried to corp counsel to serve the board. The po then gets served right away and is off the payroll. It was Brown trying to make some quick money.
As far as other comments here : a lot of folks have no facts they simply assume.
The board is necessary because otherwise people would be fired with no recourse but to sue. And the idea that clout rules is crazy because if the person had clout, they wouldnt get 30 pending, it would be not sustained or little time given...
Kudos to the guy that exposed this P.O.S. and got rid of him for once and for all. (we hope)

Says the guy who called the FBI...
If they blow this off, I have a strong feeling that innocent and wrongly suspended/terminated coppers will start dropping dimes left and right.
J-Fed get this one right, the Police Board is and has been corrupt for at least the last 15 years.
This guy has to have some kind of record for most legit CR's in ten years. Amazing. I bet 5 years from now he'll be a boss. Stranger things have happened, ie: Chief Ernie.
The original ordinance governing the police board states that its members are to serve without compensation. However, the city pays an annual $25,000 stipend to Board President Demetrius Carney, who is a partner in a law firm. Other members of the board receive $15,000 annual stipends.
The Police Board members receive $15,000 a year and the PB President receives $25,000 a year in stipends.
Most Police Board members only attend 6 meetings a year and are appointed directly by Mayor Richard M. Daley.
December 01, 2009
Remember this?
An attempt to penalize members of a Chicago police disciplinary board for failing to attend meetings where the fates of officers facing misconduct charges are decided stalled today at a City Council hearing.
Ald. Isaac Carothers, 29th, balked at the idea of holding Chicago Police Board members to attendance standards.
SCC sent you an email regarding Sgt's contract, p57. It's a letter telling how the Department will carry those who resign/retire with open CR's. They will forever be carried "while under investigation" This latest Police Board shit kind of ties into the whole system of unfair discipline the CPD is allowed to get away with. Just think somebody should put it out there because it sure isn't right that a guy hits mandatory retirement with an open CR# he has no control over then gets listed as retired "while under investigation" meaning no retirement star or id or the ability to qualify to carry a firearm as a retired po.
5/11/2010 01:03:00 PM
==
Does the contract STATE 'no retirement star, no ability to carry a gun'?
Because in the 80's and 90's, when someone retired with an open CR#, the CR# closing report stated 'suspended (meaning the investigation, not the accused), pending the return, or any attempt to return to the employ of the Chicago Police Department...'
People still got their retirement stuff, as usual, though.
What you're saying isn't logical. Even a sustained CR# wouldn't keep someone from getting their retirement star, i.d, or restrict their right to carry.
It's funny how the owner of Arrow Messenger Service, Phyllis Applebaum, left the Police Board on the hustle.
Did she know, was she tipped???
(ot) 6145 south menard. will pay special attention. not a problem.
Chicago Police Board Members:
President Demetrius E. Carney, Vice President Scott J. Davis, Rita A. Fry, Victor M. Gonzalez, Dr. William C. Kirkling, Arthur J. Smith Sr., George M. Velcich, Patricia C. Bobb, Rev. Johnny L. Miller.
Maybe the Feds should talk to Alvin Weems.
No, better talk to Phat Phil Cline who not only had everything swept under the carpet but promoted this guy to Detective. Unfuckingbelievable!

Talk to P.C. about all the morons he gave the go ahead for that we are stuck with today. All for political favors.
Do not let P.C. fool you. He played the game all the way for his own benefit. He was a genius in the way he did it with his charming personality. FK that selfish bastard.
The only recent personnel change on the Police Board has been this one:
Rita A. Fry replaced Phyllis L. Apelbaum, who served for fourteen years on the Police Board, on January 21,2010.
Who knows/knew what and when???
and this guy is on a board to judge other police officers?
The Police Board consists of nine members who are directly appointed by Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Board members receive a stipend of $15,000 annually and $25,000 for serving as Police Board President.
The Police Board's Role
The Police Board decides disciplinary matters involving allegations of serious misconduct made against members of the Chicago Police Department. The Board has the responsibility to:
* Decide cases when the Superintendent of Police files charges to discharge or suspend a police officer for more than thirty days;
* Review, upon the request of a police officer, a suspension of six through thirty days; and
* Decide matters in which the Chief Administrator of the Independent Police Review Authority and the Superintendent of Police do not concur regarding discipline of a police officer.
The Police Board virtually controls the entire Chicago Police Department by proxy and are the Mayor's hand puppets. Now that we know they are 100% corrupt and controlled by bribes and political influence we must CHANGE the system.
How many coppers will suffer termination or huge time for BS and lack of CLOUT???
The Police Board decision is already made before your PB case is heard.
Is that a fair and imaprtial system of equitable justice???
Maybe, if you are a "CLOUT baby" or pay $$$.
Victor Brown impersonated the police, passed multiple bad checks, utilized stolen Illinois state M license plates to obtain free car washes on his Jaguar, committed retail theft, bribery, official misconduct, obstruction of justice, medical roll abuse,etc...
Victor Brown won at the Police Board everytime, multiple times.
The Police Board is corrupt!
How can any copper do his/her job knowing that the body that judges their livelihood is crooked, corrupt and disingenuous?
You want us to work???
Please!
This is going to turn into Mayor Richard M Daley's worst nightmare at election time if the Police Board is not addressed.
There are many coppers, attorneys and activists biting at the bit to expose what they know about the corruption in Chicago.
Can you say racial unrest???
Can you say BYE BYE Mayor Richard M. Daley???
This will cost you your beloved postion as Mayor of Chicago!
This will be the straw that breaks the camels back...
Daley will NOT weather this storm!
Victor Brown impersonated the police, passed multiple bad checks, utilized stolen Illinois state M license plates to obtain free car washes on his Jaguar, committed retail theft, bribery, official misconduct, obstruction of justice, medical roll abuse,etc...
NO NEED TO WORRY, THE BRIDGEPORT PASTOR OF ROBERT SORICH WILL THROW HIM A BIG FUNDRAISING SENDOFF. DON'T BOTHER DARKENING THE DOOR IF THAT ENVELOPE "AINT TWO INCHES THICK MY FRIENT"
Victor Brown is a small cog in a very large wheel of corruption.
Someone called the Feds off on this one!
It is more than obvious and we are not fooled by his BS indictment to appease what everyone already knew.
Everyone knew about the Federal investigation of Victor Brown, it was widely publicized to warn all.
Alderman Fioretti knows what time it is and he better act now!
HAWKS WIN!!!
"The board is necessary because otherwise people would be fired with no recourse but to sue. And the idea that clout rules is crazy because if the person had clout, they wouldnt get 30 pending, it would be not sustained or little time given...

EXACTLY & WHEN THE SUPE DISAGREES W/THEIR DECISION TO REINSTATE, HE JUST CALLS UP THE JUSTICE DEPT. INSTEAD OF THE POLICE BOARD LEGITIMACY BULLSHIT YOU'RE TRYING TO SELL, POUR YOURSELF A CUP OF STFU & SEND $$$ TO BILL COZZI!!
A lot of experts with absolutely no knowledge here.
Just because you don't know what's going on doesn't mean this is over.
Will J-Fed act to stop the two-tier system of discipline???
Nothing affects morale more than this issue on the CPD!
The Police Board was established in 1960, after the Summerdale Scandal, on the recommendation from O.W. Wilson, an outsider who became Police Superintendent under Mayor Richard J. Daley.
Did the Feds use phone number matrixing on Victor Brown's phone numbers???
Where are all the LIBERAL POLICE HATERS now?
Victor Brown will bite the bullet, do 3 years Fed time and upon release land a 60K city job for being silent.
The Chicago Way!

Thanks for the above post. Brown is the pos not the police board. They didn't make any money, this IAD officer did. If it were not for the police board, officers would be terminated left and right for BS. They at least give a po a chance to state their case and then judge it based on the law not what some boss wants to call it. How this Brown guy slipped through the cracks is beyond me but I agree we need the police board. Be careful what you guys ask for and allege cause we will really be screwed if we lose the only impartial venue we have to grieve injustices. Were they unfair to Cozzi? No. if it would have stayed at that, we wouldn't be writing letters to him in fed camp.
Where is Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez in this one???
No, state charges for obstruction of justice, official misconduct, bribery, deceptive practice???
Funny how things work in Chicago is you hooked up.
Almost total media blackout on this caper. Abate was 24/7 for months, this one hits way too close to Daley's liking.
Once again, not a peep from the FOP about the Police Board or the two-tier system of discipline.
CLOUT RULES!!!
Maybe, we should all attend the next Police Board meeting in a show of solidarity against the two-tier system of justice that has railroaded many good coppers.
This case sounds like it really is not abou any wrongdoing on the part of the police board but that this Victor Brown is preying on officers and scamming them for money on bs promises. What a jerk.
It does appear that the feds were trying to stay with the case and see if victor will take it to the next level. It appears by the read that victor didn't and the feds had to nut it and were able to get him on lying to a fed.
It doesnt mean this is over. Whether or not victor knows someone on the police board, the fact remains, how was victor able to keep his job all these years? Someone in this city was protecting victor's police job.
Victor needs to save himself now. What shall he do? The majority of this department would love to see Ernest go down for all he has done and is still doing. Steve and Jodi need to be embarassed for their standing by their exempt selections.

Logic has nothing to do with it. Go to the Sgt's Association site and read the contract proposal, page 57. There is a letter there telling the labor attorney the CPD policy of resigned/retired "WHILE UNDER INVESTIGATION." I personally know some who have already had this happen to them when they went to Personnel to retire.No retirement ID no retirement star and no letter letting the retired copper qualify to carry a gun. Nobody cares least of all the FOP or the PBPA. Question is how and why do we let this happen? Just hope IAD has no open CR#s hanging around when you go to retire. For those like you who don't believe it then go to the web site and read the letter on p57 it is all right there in black and white. Just one more fine example of CPD,FOP and PBPA letting no clout coppers get treated like shit. Read the letter then tell me it isn't true.As stated in the letter this has been the "policy" for some time, unless of course you have clout or a phone call then you could be a convicted felon and the department would still give you your retirement stuff. Just once I would like to see police officers find somebody maybe a good labor attorney who would just one time stick up for us and stop the department and the city from screwing us over.

Please keep up, read the entire thread. All nine Police Board members are appointed by Mayor Richard M. Daley.
The Mayor owns all of them, lock, stock and barrel.
CLOUT RULES!!!
Hopefully, John Conroy, from the Chicago Reader can expose this system of graft, political influence, favors and CLOUT.
Interview former police officers and look at comparative cases.
This will be a Pulitzer Prize!
100% confirmed, it's a bitch when good solid coppers go to the darkside(G).
Much, much more coming
Karma is a bitch, don't fuck the innocent over because you can!
Victor Brown has given up a few low lying fruits at this time, the big boys are safe.
The low lying fruits need to think hard though...
How did half of the CPD know that Victor was getting indicted over 15 months ago???
Leak in the FBI or IAD???
Lets start thinking about rebuilding the CPD
Today's FBI, any terrorist is guaranteed success.
WTF
Who is the Sgt that befriended this conman and aided him????
Victor Brown has alot coming from all of the copper she swindled over the years with bad checks for home repairs and cash upfront.
Victor it is raining, it is now a hurricane brother!
UR FUCKED!
Bye, Bye Richie
Police Board
Fuck One, Fuck All!!!
The Swiss Code won't work here, there is video and wire.
Until board members are brought before the Grand Jury or handcuffs are dispensed, this is all show...
Don't believe there will be any truth, justice or reform for one second.
Mayor Richard M. Daley controls the US DOJ and the FBI.
IAD is a joke and anything done in conjunction with the Feds is a guaranteed leak.
This whole investigation is nothing but appeasement and smoke and mirrors to the CPD.
Count on, NOTHING HAPPENING!!!
5 yrs on, Victor Brown a boss.
It's all legit in Chicago, if you aren't part of the club, FUCK YOU!
This one is the one that will bring Shortshanks down. The curse upon the CPD and Shanks lives!
Former Feds taking $$$$
Three hearing officers for all of those Police Board hearings, you get one of the three appointed.
All well paid, political hacks.
They get the calls and make the decisions via recommendations.
Wait till the whole deal hits...
Not all is controlled yet, there are still some honest and ethical beings left in Chicago.
Scary, to some
Thank GOD!
Thanks goes out to the FBI for investigating and arresting this criminal who is yet just another officer to continually give The Chicago Police Department a bad name. IAD doesn't seem to be able to do it, so thankfully the FBI is.
OT.... And my question to you is, how much work will we actually get out of Lieutenant's working as Field Lieutenants?
The answer is NONE, the most "not needed" spot in the Dept. So shut the "F" up and do your job, or give up your Lieutenant bars bitch!!!
5/11/2010 04:24:00 PM
I agree big time! Some field Lts seldom get out of the car. Some dont ever leave the station. And they never work a FULL tour. The city is lucky when a Lt works 6 hours.
Hey...pass a test, then talk to me!This f'd up dept created the spot so I'm going to fill it to the best of my ability. STFU and mind your business.
Bring it on! This is Chicago. Home of the super-scandals.

AMEN to Passing a test...
Especially when you have no Affirmative Action or Ethnic Clout going for you.
Being a Lieutenant means being in place of the WC. It's when you spend a lot of time and effort teaching and protecting blueshirts. Fortunately I work with a good crew and we watch out for each other.
Stay safe, pass a test. Not that there is anything with being a Patrolman for Life.

The current department practice is to mark an individual retired under investigation. This has been in effect for the last several years. This letter is a promise to evaluate each on a case by case basis. This eliminates the past practice. This letter was won by PBPA. rather than go off and cry foul do your homrwork. This is a benefit won by the PBPA. Do your homework. This was a step forward to eliminate a problem for the retiree. It corrects an existing problem.
Notice the silence from J-Fed, Daley, FOP, PBPA???
One would think that this would be publicly addressed but they think it will go away if they ignore the corrupt Police Board.
Coppers that have been railroaded and have lost their livelihood are not going to allow that to occur.
There is much more that is going to happen with this story.
Unless you have been there you do not know the workings of the board. What an officer has to go thru is I would think only comparable to 26th st.
The corp counsels are full throttle against the officer and they work hard to try and fire the officer. The hearing officer is like the ref. The board gets a synopsis from the hearing officer and then rules. Lots of good folks on the board. Read their bios, its all public info..
The problem does not lie there. It is with the investigations conducted. Thats where eyes should look. An earlier post said that if the folks were clouted, the case would have never gotten so far as the board. A very good point and goes back to what I say about the investigation and the conduct of the investigators that are in many cases given a direction to go in as far as screwing a copper or not.
Thats where the clouted get some play and are looked out for.
In fact the boards records should be looked into as far as some of the cases that were sent there that were so badly investigated or as I like to put it, so badly un-investigated, that the investigators should be dumped to a foot patrol on a non-residential street somewhere.
Thats the key boys and girls! If Loevy can get 16 mil for the mut gang bangers etc.. then it is time to send a message to these folks from iad and ipra too!
Where is our beloved fop on this topic. Hear stories from people at call back of their 2,3,4 year stints there with no resolution.
Stories where at board hearings , the iad that testify look like total fools and have the deer in headlight look. Why-because they know they have done an officer or three wrong, thats why! Need for one of them to come forward and come clean on the witch-hunts they are assigned.
Enough said for now -be safe ..

5/17:43pm
Just show me where anything was won by the PBPA with this bullshit letter. The decision is up to the Supt.(meaning clout and phone call get your retirement star and id.)No clout no call too bad. Oh but wait if Unit 156 or the Sgt don't agree with the Supt then a grievance can be filed but no arbitration. So this great "victory" you say PBPA has won means the grievance means nothing if the Supt, IAD and Personnel choose to ignore it and you limp dicks from PBPA will never have the balls to help out some Sgt getting screwed over like this by actually filing a lawsuit. Do me a favor and do your homework and at least tell the truth that the PBPA actually achieved nothing with this letter and while you are at it admit that the PBPA has always allowed the City to openly violate the contract. Here is some homework for you, Section 18.7 of the current contract,tell me about all the lawsuits and grievances the PBPA has filed for the disabled Sgt's under this section of the contract which you the PBPA has allowed the City to violate since the contract was in existence? Maybe you ought to just shut up about the great things the PBPA has never done before the Sgt's wake up and think about replacing the PBPA Unit 156 for failure to protect their interests and enforce their contract. Your homework should be actually taking the City to court for these open contract violations not telling the Sgt's what a great offer they just got.

First people are saying the PB is too lax, now this poster is saying they are too strict. Which is it?
When is the Superintendent going to address the two-tier system of discipline on the CPD?
When will the Police Board Scandal be addressed?
The corruption within the CPD must end now!
Someone has to be held accountable
This scandal will go away just as the numerous others have. Clout rules in Chicago. CPD runs on clout.Without clout you are not going to get promoted. Without clout you most likely will work a beat car for 30 years.
Chicago does not allow veterans preference. Think of it extra points on a promotional exam for being a veteran. In Chicago! Clout rules and thats why our leadership could not work at Wal Mart in loss prevention. IAD, FOP, and the FBI are as corupt as this city. As Forest Gump mother would Say "stupid is as stupid does".
BE SAFE!
Why do you think that Tom Needham wins all of his cases?

Outside of a news worthy incident...shooting, etc. If you need a Field Lt. to respond and get out of the car, or even want him too then YOU are an idiot

Take a peek at his disciplinary and medical file. It took the FBI to touch him.
We can only hope that the Feds cleanup the Police Board corruption, before more officers are sacrificed to cover for the ilk of the Victor Browns on the job.
Note This is not the Victor Brown who use to work in 007.
Back in the 70's my brother was offered sergeant stripes for $3,000. Needless to say, he remained a patrolmen! True Blue!
