Masters Masters Masters Gun?
Once again, the rumor rears its ugly head:
- Speaking of Masters, did anyone see him and Hamilton at montrose harbor last night for the fireworks. Masters had a gun belt on with a gun holstered and vest on.
We were just going over the list of recruits who have graduated the Academy over the past two plus years and Mike Masters doesn't appear on any list.
Can someone explain how he can carry a gun?

Masters is just like any other Chicago citizen. He can pack a gun under McDonald. The Supreme Court said even Chicago must honor the right to keep and BEAR arms.
The UUW statute is also dead except for convicted felons.
"Can someone explain how he can carry a gun?"
Is it because you, as a law enforcement officer, have the power to essentially "deputize" anyone? You can ask that that person assist you and you can give them a gun.
Maybe J-Fled gave him his. Goodness knows he doesn't need it!
Hey that's No Fucking Surprise all of your Alderman are allowed to carry and I bet not a one has ever had any formal training..
Who's going to arrest him?
A vest on??? Must be a bit nervous around real cops.
I sure hope it's not true. This clown just wants to be powerfull. Why does he want to be the police? He never went to the academy like the rest of us. He should just stay as Daley's administrator. I guess in corrupt chicago under the dictatorship of Daley all you need is clout to be the police. How silly this department has become.
Mark Master's "good looks" allow him to carry a gun. Being "handsome" involves many "risks". :)
Wasnt he certified by 2 HRIs from the academy that were detailed to 35th
YOU MEAN THE FUTURE SUPT. BTW MM IS THE POLICE AND A GOLD STAR SO WHATS THE SHOCK
Masters is simply complying with the new supreme court ruling on handguns in Chicago. Since he's a administrator with the Chicago police department, the whole city counts as his place of residence, thus he can carry a handgun.
That's simple, because HE CAN!
Did he have a name tag? Did he have a star? If not, shouldn't he be written up?
Sorry, the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet.
More to the point, who was he with? Had to have been someone who is an actual sworn member of the department.
Oh oh.......dream mode kicking in: What if something went down while he was there? What if a citizen saw him, saw the vest and gun and ran up to him shouting " OFFICER! There's a group of (fill in the blanks) over there and I saw one passing a gun to another! My family is in this crowd and I fear for their safety. What are you going to do about it!"
Anyone care to finish this scenario?
That very question has been brought up here numerous times, SCC, with no official response from the Supt. or Masters (x3) himself. And of course, "Blog 501" has no official comment on the status of the CPD's own version of MiniMe. At least Masters was cognizant enough of his own lack of real police skills that he took RayRay along with him (presumably as security?) to the Montrose fireworks display, although it's doubtful what RayRay would have been able to do to protect MMM if things went sour, other than to be a good witness. Maybe Crain's reads the blog, and will ask those elusive qualification questions of MMM, since it's obvious no one from the two major papers wants to make an official inquiry and piss off Shortshanks. Since the Mayor is so concerned about unauthorized persons carrying firearms in the Shitty, MMM is a good place to start!
Dont worry its not loaded. Plus he will just run like jfled did.
Didn't Frank NITTI have permission from the Mayor at the time to carry one?
This has Northside CR # written all over it!
Rather than being a certified police officer - maybe he is, this is Illinois after all and there is nothing that can't be done to circumvent state law for the "right" person - and go through the hiring process, the Superendent of police can issue a carry permit in Chicago.
But I'm guessing that an Immaculate certification appeared with Master Masters Masters on it.
Didn't you hear he got his police certification on-line! Actually some months back he was certified through some suburban law enforcement certification process. He doesn't know the first thing about being the police, what a chump. WOW, we have two fake cops running our department now!!!!! Febuary can not come soon enough.
Howdy,
Open Carry is not authorized for citizens in Illinois. Why wasn't he arrested?
A Non-Policeman Illinois Gun Owner
Word is masters has his PERT and TAN cards from the state, making him a armed security guard. He may be the proto type for the new Chicago Police? Security Force...
Why can't he have a gun? You have aldermen, some which by law can't, but do carry firearms.
maybe jody weis deputized him :)
who the hell names their kid JODY??
The "carry and conceal law" must have past in Illinois just for Masters!
Can I get an event number squad?!
If an officer saw this why wasn't an arrest made? That would have been a hoot!
Wait until he shoots somebody, then you'll really see a shitstorm.
MASTERS, MASTERS, MASTERS
who care's about masters
he's on our side
Whoever actually did witnesses this why didnt they lock him up for UUW?
I have a copy of an email Masters wrote to a disabled cop telling her she was not allowed to carry like all the ohter disabled officers. What gives Masters the right or a authoritiy? Let me ask permission first to publish her email so you can see his response.
Visit the website of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Check to determine if JFled applied for a license to assemble a Proprietary Security Force for the Chicago Police Department or the City of Chicago.
This action would allow Masters to obtain a "Blue" card and "Tan" card authorizing him to legally carry a firearm as a security officer for the Chicago Police Department or the City of Chicago.
The person authenticating and verifying the training of Masters (required for issuance of the "cards") would probably be the Director (or what is the position called now: Admiral or Rear Admiral?) of the CPD Training Division. Easily accomplished.
Don't think this is preposterous or absurd! Anything is possible when all that is required is a telephone call from Daley to Quinn: It's done!!!
Or JFled certified Masters as a Chicago Special Police officer. Does JFled continue to have that authority by municipal ordinance: The appointment of a person as a Chicago Special Police Officer?
Oh man, now I'm startin' to miss the circus; not just the clowns!!
Love you guys! Stay in touch and STAY SAFE!!!
He Can Carry A Gun, Because He Wants To. Who The Hell Are You To Question The Divine Authority OF The Mayor, or Any OF His Minions ? Rules And Laws Are For The Fools That Will Obey Them.
PS: Have A Nice Day ???
What a DICK
Huberman did the same thing for long time after leaving CPD. I saw him walking around with a glock on his hip exposed at the Chicago Marathon when he was with OEMC.
And if that dont work, you can do like Sam Christian did last night, you can strike an on duty police officer with your car while on the phone, disobeying a police order, possibly intoxicated. And walk out of 016 screaming how your going to get a CR on the woman you sent to the hospital. What a whiteshirtwash that was. All the PO's in 016 got a good lesson last night on where we stand with our own management.
I have a novel idea..next time someone sees this POS carrying a weapon ..grow some balls and ask him!!! then lock his ass up.
Probably the same reason our esteemed aldermen can. No training, criminal records, gang affiliations and these are the same people that are telling the good law abidding citizens of this once great city that they are not allowed to protect themselves.
Don't worry it was one of those orange fake ones the have at academy range.....
Aldercreatures are "public officers" and as such are granted the right, by state law and city ordinance, to carry a firearm. I believe it was Dorothy Tilman that carried a gun all the time in her purse.
Shortshanks gave him permission, he thinks his buddy looks cool wearing police gear.
Mayberry special police badge?
Masters did attend the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy(SLEA) through the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn. Its a 10 week course that suburban departments use to certify recruits. He is a certified peace officer in the State of Illinois. He was a "student at large" during the Academy. They made some exceptions for him due to his position. He is certified through the State and therefore can carry a firearm and has arrest powers. Hope this clears the issue.
he bes da play policeee

masters will be the next superintendent WHEN daley is reelected
TO my fellow officers, just give up. We cannot win under this condidtions. They win, Masters, Hamilton, Weis, Kirby. Just give them what they want. DO NOT DO SHIT.
He probably got a "Special Police"
commision, the supt can authorize this after he goes thru the security guard training.
Don't forget, the aldermen can carry guns without training, just lots of liability to the taxpayers.

----------------------------------
Would he be Michael G. MASTERS, out of Oak Lawn? If so, he DOES hold a valid PERC and a Firearm Control Card from the department of financial & professional regulation BUT all that doesn't mean squat unless he's actually a W-2 employee of a licensed private detective agency, security company or alarm company ACTUALLY on the clock. And what's with the Oak Lawn crap? Is a CPD exempt exempt from ALL regulations and laws or just the ones that he wishes to ignore, like residency requirements?
Then again maybe he's just a "secret squirrel" aldercreep, you know, like the Daley hacks waiting in the wings for one of the real, upstanding aldercreatures to head off to Club Fed so the Midget can plug in another continuing "Yes" vote to that ward. FMTT! I AM so thankful I don't live in the city and have to put up with the crap you guys do. My deepest sympathies!
In data warehouse, in the alpha star query in the category under sworn or civilian, it has a P (police) in his name line, not a C (civilian), so he is technically sworn it appears.
I am not sure if this sheds any light on mastersx3 carrying, but I was in the 07-06a class and that jag was running around in matching outfits with ray ray a lot while I was there(I shit you not about the outfits, and it was not cpd uniform, some lame tactical pants where he could hide a pistol where a penis would normally reside, but since he doesn't have one...I digress) any way he would be announced as 'observing' our classes while ray ray had to tell us all 10 million times how smart masters is, and how kind, and handsome, and a great kisser too! That probably counted as 'going through' the academy.
He was also wearing the get up for the 3rd of July at the taste with J-jagoff and his flunkies. All of them wearing black vests with police and their name tags in front in gold. Feds trying to play police wearing their gun belts.
The whole Masters debacle started when the powers that be came to Tobias in the Academy and asked that he certify him as a police officer. Tobias said sure just as soon as he completes the training academy. They said no just make him and Tobias refused. So yes man Lodding was brought in and MT was shipped off to exile! Gotta love this place.
Who cares? CPD is a sinking ship and I'm along for the ride until retirement. It doesnt matter who is the next boss, I will not do a dam thing for this city or this department.
Tha answer is easy, check the records on file. He is listed as having a Private Detective License!
Is his gun registered in the city? If so, how?
Georges says that's a $5000 fine and 6 months in Cook Co Jail.
Probably same way in ISP they had "inspectors" .....appointed status so they have full police powers. Still a few around I guess.
I, as a law enforcement official hear by deputize my sons, brothers and all of my nieces and nephews their spouses and offspring.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that some of them were still in jail. I'll have to wait till they get out.

Inspectors with the ISP are usually local officers assigned to state task forces or MEG units. This gives them statewide authority. Inspectors have never been non-law enforcement officers
Mike Masters is the most uninteresting man in the world.
He has been rumored to dip his nose into his own shit just to verify that it doesn't stink.
His reputation is imploding faster than the universe.
He once had an awkward moment. Every day. He believes no one notices.
He lives vicariously through those around him.
He doesn't realize what a shallow political hack he is, nor does he care.
He has never heard of Dos Equis' beer.
He is the most uninteresting man in the world.

You are correct my friend. Howard signed off on Master's certification. As director of training, Howard has the authority. There are always options, alternatives and loop holes in any state law. Howard is in the position to ok his certification. Anything for a promotion, Howie! Take care of your friends and politicans, Howie. You are the master of politics and the good old boy system.

Look at Howard's staff. He has 3 full time female secretaries. Not even JFLED has the nerve to assign 3 full duty female secretaries. Howard sure knows how to hide those clouted females. He will be rewarded soon.

Don't you idiots get it? You can't lock him up.
The question is how did he get sworn?
I personally don't care, but for those of you who do, the Freedom of Information act will reveal something surprising....
I know for a fact that he has a PERT/TAN card. I know this because a computer was left logged on and we name checked him via an outsourced internet database.
He has a Tan card. Big deal.. He's still not and NEVER will be the police.
I was in 07-06b and agree 100% with the post from the PO from 07-06a regarding MASTERS x 3. Our class (07-06b) initially thought he was an instructor as he was always seen with Ray Ray. However, we had a couple of PO's from the County and a couple of CO's from IDOC in our class who called BULLSHIT the second they heard that MASTERS x 3 was the POLICE. They said that when you are the POLICE, you act like the POLICE, and you don't need to CONVINCE others that you are the POLICE. MASTERS x 3 couldn't even fool an entire class of recruits with his nonsense. ADS Tobias would not sign off on MASTERS x 3 so JFLED and Da Mayor went around it administratively to certify him as a "Peace Officer". Remember, all "Police Officers" are "Peace Officers", but not all "Peace Officers" are "Police Officers" per ILCS. So MASTERS x 3 is cerified as a "PEACE OFFICER", not a "POLICE OFFICER". He never will be CPD. Sorry Mikey.
Gotta love the posters that say "Earned not Given"
There is one hanging in the hallway leading to the Supts. office.
It is there to remind J-Fraud, Masters bater, Brust, and Daly that they REALLY ARE NOT THE POLICE IN CHICAGO!

That's very interesting. The alderman have been allowed to carry for years and now that the ban was found to be unconstitutional, they pass legislation that any citizen who wants a gun must take and pay for training.
They're really under the impression that they are special aren't they?

He's the wanna-be po-lice. He should be on Daley's guard detail. Please don't tell me he also carries a star.
Let him carry so when he shoots someone and some lawyer gets holds of this he will crucify him for not going thru the training like every other Chicago Police Officer did, and now I guess he set precendent for every suburban copper coming on the job that they are already certified so they dont need to attend the Chicago Academy. you would think someone in the city law department would rasie a flag for risk management

I am not the original poster but here it goes anyway.
The law has changed a bit but here it is along with a nice link.
(65 ILCS 5/3.1‑15‑25) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1‑15‑25)
Sec. 3.1‑15‑25. Conservators of the peace; service of warrants.
(a) After receiving a certificate attesting to the successful completion of a training course administered by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board, the mayor, aldermen, president, trustees, marshal, deputy marshals, and policemen in municipalities shall be conservators of the peace. Those persons and others authorized by ordinance shall have power (i) to arrest or cause to be arrested, with or without process, all persons who break the peace or are found violating any municipal ordinance or any criminal law of the State, (ii) to commit arrested persons for examination, (iii) if necessary, to detain arrested persons in custody over night or Sunday in any safe place or until they can be brought before the proper court, and (iv) to exercise all other powers as conservators of the peace prescribed by the corporate authorities.
(b) All warrants for the violation of municipal ordinances or the State criminal law, directed to any person, may be served and executed within the limits of a municipality by any policeman or marshal of the municipality. For that purpose, policemen and marshals have all the common law and statutory powers of sheriffs.
(Source: P.A. 90‑540, eff. 12‑1‑97.)
Under state law, you can deputize someone while making a lawful arrest, and the person you deputize has the same authority that you do. 725 ILCS 5/107-8.
That law pertains to "commanding" a person to "aid" the police officer during an arrest. It does not mean anyone is being "deputized" and it does not give you permanent police powers. It gives you the same power as the police officer to arrest a specific person and use force to affect that arrest at that time without being held civilly liable.
Like the other poster said... quit watching so many cop movies and thinking the bullshit is real.

Plus, in all good conscience, how could they make Howard Lodding the Director of CPD's Training Academy when he has no formal education beyond high school? What a farce! Howie made meritcloutorious sergeant and meritcloutorious lieutenant before the educational requirement was part of the promotional process. Don't let Howie's studious looking glasses fool you. He is dumb as dirt, but even so, he is a cunning sob, which makes him a dangerous sob.
You guys are so blind. Who cares if he's carrying a gun. Let him, then when he gets cocky on the street somebody will just bitch slap him and take it away. The real issue here is our pension! He wants to be a peace officer so as a sworn peace officer and member of the department he can rape our pension fund.

Wow! Sounds like someone out there in cowardland has a real bug up his ass about 'Ol Howard!
For the record, Howard never wanted the ADS job at the Academy.
Tobias simply wanted out...and he bailed. Currently in hiding somewhere up at 3510, where he used to share an office with another bland (former) exempt, Ruthie Wedster. I'm sure everyone knows how she derailed HER clout driven career.
Like another poster here already said, enough about Howard already.
35th st. has played plenty of games at the Academy fast and loose since he's been there, and not any of it with Howard's approval. You're all well aware now of how things are run in the CPD now...directly from the Hall. You either remain silent about the blatant change of rules/BS or get mowed down by your peers. It ain't pretty, but that's the way it is. Don't like it?

And, no matter, it is a farce to have an ADS, any ADS, but especially the ADS of the CPD Training Academy, that has no formal education and all his promotions have been based on his meritcloutorious status. It is disgusting.
We do not have open carry here in IL, Mr. Crimefile.

Yes we do.The Second Amendemnt gives you the right to BEAR arms,that means to carry.Get used to this concept.Its been around for well over 200 years.We have ALWAYS had it,its just been infringed upon.
'Plus, in all good conscience, how could they make Howard Lodding the Director of CPD's Training Academy when he has no formal education beyond high school?'
The same way Phat Phil made two GED guys
a) Cmdr of Gangs, later Deputy Chief of OCD
b) Deputy Chief of OCD, later Deputy Supt. of Strategic Deployment.
The way the rules are laid out now, you've gotta have 60 hrs. to be promoted to Sgt., and a full 4 yr college degree to be promoted to Lt. But NONE OF THAT APPLIES TO THE EXEMPT RANKS. And I doubt anyone working under J-Fled or Masters (x3) will change it.
And yes, it is a direct slap in the face to everyone who busts ass to return to school and get the grades and degrees in order to move forward. I'm willing to bet Keating, Alvarado and Kenny don't have degrees either. There are likely a few others around who fit this bill too. Someone in Human Resources could check this out and post all the names of the exempts without pedigrees here...

I never said there were not more examples, however, the most notable is the the man leading the educational arm of the CPD.
How can Howard credibly advise our new hires without a degree to return to school because it is good for their personal growth and good for the department as a whole, when he himself has no formal education? Howard Lodding, having no formal education, should not be in charge of the educational arm of the CPD.
Elsewhere, Howard being the ADS of Training, would border on the absurd, but, in Chicago, it is lost amongst the tidal wave of irregularities in hiring and promotions that are so pervasive in the shanks regime. Nothing will change until shanks is gone.
