Rumor Mill in Full Swing

The phone lines and e-mails are burning up!
  • ********** Rumor Mill **********

    J-Fled is looking to sign deal to be OEMC boss before he is chased out of town. He wants to sign the deal by Nov. but as of today 2 more candidates have appeared... uh oohhh

    Jimmy Jackson set to retire this spring along with Peterson.

    Word out of IAD is Lt. Andrews will be cleared of all wrong doing along with officer Sherry and Ochocki (SOS) and 023 dui king(Fiorito).

    There is suppose to be a house cleaning coming of all inside pets and those at callback, they want more cops on the street and they will take anybody.

    Inspectors told to hit the streets starting next Thur and hit roll calls on northside, J-Fled thinks that will motivate officers.(more like it will make them hate him more)

    Masters will move to CPS after March to assist Huberman if he does not run for Mayor.

    FOP Donahue will work for Cook County next year in a cushy roll and will assist Tom Dart during his campaign for Mayor hoping to get a nice spot if he wins.

    Daley thinks Ald. Waugs is in the best position right now to become Mayor.

    Daley hired a collection of smart people to see if his son has a chance of running for mayor in the future.

    Daley ready to ink deal for his autobiography with a big check for his advance. That along with the 1.4 million he has left and he is sitting pretty.

    Maggie Daley's cancer is worse then family is letting on.

    Daley thinks Sandy Jackson doesn't have a chance in hell to become mayor.

    By Jan. all court will be swipe in and out. Still use OT slips for hard copy.

    By Summer all police veh's will have cameras if new contract for cameras come through and we actually pay on time which didn't happen last time.

    Dec. will start 2 Detective classes and one more Sgt. class and then all lists to be taken down unless we get rid of J-Fled before then.

    Expect announcement early next week about last ditch effort command changes before we run J-Fled out of town. J-Fled thinks if he is still around after the protest march then he can stay til March 1st but insiders think he is gone by Nov. either to OEMC or leaves because Morale is down and he is the cause.

    Starting in November all Tact. Lts will no longer have take home cars along with 50% of Intelligence and Narcotics officers.

    Also starting in Nov. more foot patrols , J-Fled wants more cops on foot so citizens can see us and the illusion there are more of us. We may want to bring carnival mirrors also to make us look bigger and taller.

    J-Fled overheard praying "Dear lord make me a bird so I can fly far far away from here"... I guess Master Master Masters is Jenny Jenny Jenny.

    Take it with a grain of salt until we hear 2nds or 3rds
We're going to say, "Take it with an entire salt shaker," but there are a few gold nuggets in those rumors. Maybe even a gold brick?

Northside's post to postpone demonstration to next City Council meeting is wise. FOP can't defend march at CPD HQ. Let's all go to FOP meeting on 9/21. Count me in on City Hall. Boycott FOP HQ brainstorm. It's goofy. It's what Shanks wants to muffle criticism. As somebody said to kill the CLOUT BEAST, you don't aim for the butt (HQ), you go for the heart (City Hall).

There is only one street Inspector, Sadowski, who is detailed to 004. He works 2 days in 004 as WC and 2 days on WC road trips.

The inside Inspectors are busy doing time keeping audits, District safty (fire drills)checks, court audits, etc. Very unlikely they would be sent on the street.

New Inspectors must be Capts.

One thing is for sure, we as Chicago Police officers need to stick together on a mayoral candidate.

When there are voting turn-outs <300k
25k votes-guessing about 2 votes per cop family minimum-can have an impact.

So register and vote if you aren't and normally don't.
Get your family and friends to do the same.

The last person we want on the fifth floor is the most dishonorable, play revrund, senator, meeks.

Friend in personel told me that starting at end of this month, CPD will start accepting applications for new police recruits. This is an online application process, with the power test, psych, BI, all done and then a new version of a test will be given in the middle of the process or at the end. So no more initial exam to start it off anymore. Lets see how many lawsuits comes out of this process.........

Of course Sandy Jackson does not have a shot in hell at being mayor. Why would she?


Really, if it was not for the "I am black so I must vote for her because she is Black" mentality that is so rampant on the South and west sides of this city, along with the ghetto dwellers who have spread around in other parts of the city, she would have no shot.


It is akin to the Irish mentality that kept on getting Daley re-elected, the majority of these votes coming from within our own ranks.

I am furious that Sandy Jackson would even dare considered that she is worthy of being Mayor, she should not even be an Alderman for Pete's sake!


What are her qualifications? She passes out Turkeys, from her wealthy family fund (that is another rant — never drink Budweiser)! Around Christmas time — that qualifies her to lead?

Pathetic!

Captains have been negotiating for Lieutenants job as inspectors , unit co's for the last 30 years

looks like someone made a jackass out of JFLED , Masters and Mayor Daley

That probably pushed Daley over the edge when captains pulled that one over his hand picked fbi agent

just askin was a captain or lt assigned as watch commander when the 14 year old reported for duty in the 3rd district

Old Time Retired Guy Here:
I'm thinking that Daley retiring could be a way out for J-Fed.
Here, is how I'm seeing it. He spins the story to appear he is being forced out for political reasons. He was forced out too soon. His programs were not given enough time to work.
He now becomes a Crusader, and a Victim, instead of a clueless, incompetent, goof.
He can now take the emblems off his CPD Leather Jacket, and wear it at parties, etc.
He can spin his CPD career as a, once upon a time tuff guy. It will work, anywhere but Chicago.
He may even make another attempt to buy into the CPD pension.
Yes, I see him coming out of this big mess, in pretty good shape.

Hot off the presses! Promotions and hirings will cease until new mayor is appointed. Lists will be kept up until decision by new mayor. Aunt B considering job with Merchandise Mart in security and may retire after election depending on outcome. She feels she won't be made new Superintendent. J-Fled definitely OUT! He was tenatively offered OEMC job prior to Mayor's announcement. Now the Mayor doesn't want to do any moves with personnel because he's leaving. He's going to take it easy, take care of his Wife, and bow out gracefully. Also, if Dart becomes Mayor then Anita Alvarez will be in trouble. Dart does not like her and would have his people campaign against her. Finally, J-fled may move some exempts around. TRU commander was told to clean up his unit or he will be dumped in 30 days. Ryan may be wearing lieutenant bars soon. One last thing, swipe in will be the norm for work and OT. Other departments currently doing this are seeing a drastic reduction in OVERTIME! This will effect Detectives the hardest. No more "spinning the clock" guys. We all were too greedy. Stay safe

The whispers in the halls came true, to peoples absolute disbelief. Supposedly Emmanuel seeking out the Mayors job ,derailed all attempts for Federal Funds to assist the C.PD. in manpower staffing and erode the Mayors support. Younger Daleys multiple discretions were all Emmanuel needed to exploit to force the Mayor out. My husband despises the Mayor and I am indifferent towards him, but be careful for what you wish for. Emmanuel is downright creepy and power-hungry. Vote for "anyone but him " should be the rally cry.

Of which two thirds or more could be easily cut without reducing services adversly. As a union tradesmen with the city I'm laughing at the hand wringing already being done by the exempts yeah you sucked and licked the daley putrid pustules to get your cush jobs. Now I will laugh heartedly as you stand to lose them. The trades and street level services cannot be cut anymore, just the top layer.

What I like about the state exams is none of that clout cheating crap don't count. You pass it and get licensed or you don't. You get your test scores within a month-none of that political BS the city is notorious for, as Hillard , to his dismay, found out.
How can a guy with thirty plus years of big city police experience,and a former chief of detectives for the second largest police department, responsible for security the country's third largest city,fail two detective and security exams? Maybe Cecil Partee should have taken the tests for him like he did for a certain mayor.

He had to suck up to some ex secret service agent in order to get a investigative firm ( Hillard Heintze) which is no surprise because he loves sucking fed ass, right J Fed?

Now he's got a contract to do background investigations for police applicants.

Go figure.

I am a policemans wife and work at City Hall. Needless to say peoples livelihoods are threatened by Rahm Emmanuels ruthless move and Patrick Daleys immaturity/arrogance and complete stupidity. The whispers in the halls came true, to peoples absolute disbelief. Supposedly Emmanuel seeking out the Mayors job ,derailed all attempts for Federal Funds to assist the C.PD. in manpower staffing and erode the Mayors support. Younger Daleys multiple discretions were all Emmanuel needed to exploit to force the Mayor out. My husband despises the Mayor and I am indifferent towards him, but be careful for what you wish for. Emmanuel is downright creepy and power-hungry. Vote for "anyone but him " should be the rally cry.

If IAD starts re-investigating the past railroadings of PO's they might begin to fill the ranks of the CPD again.

Wait until the Police Board Scandal starts in earnest. Thank-You Victor Brown!

Some of the rumors have a touch of merit. Dicks will be made for sure at the end of this year and next year. Sgts are coming at the end of this year as well.

Test coming down is total BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The city is over 600 mil in the hole and are not going to spend a few mil on tests. The Dicks list might get to #500 on the list before it comes down. The city is not overly concerned about that list. The Sgt list isn't even to #200 yet. That test is not coming down until it gets past #300. What should have been said is the city wants to get rid of all promotional exams. Lt test done after this list, BANK ON IT!!!!!

The city will try to get rid of the dicks and sgts test as well. FOP will fight tooth and nail not to let this happen. To those who hate FOP, remember they do fight for some things. The King thinks the rules don't apply to him. The machine that far too many police officers vote for does not have your best interest at heart or even in their minds for one second.

That's assinine to think coppers vote based on ethnicity alone. Maybe that thought reveals how you really vote. Don't assume Irish coppers vote as a bloc.

News flash! Lodding aka (Howard the Coward) will move over to OEMC where is has friends that actually like him. He destroyed the academy with his lack of leadership and inability to say anything but yes. Yes to every hair brained and wacky idea from 35th street. The academy really could use a house cleaning and move out several sergeants hiding in offices who have fancy titles and no duties and work a bankers hours. Talk about smoke and mirrors! A house full of recruits and no leaders. A roller coaster ride for the next 6 months.

'How about Prentiss Jackson and Vasquez? Two sergeants with more than 50 cumulative years of supervisory experience and Northwestern long course grads. Just asking.'

And yet, Prentiss Jackson still can't seem to be promoted to Lt. But be a driver for J-Fled, or an Admin Sgt. in MSF? You're a shoo-in!

Entertainment detail is gone if Commander A makes it to 2011. 2 sgts and 20 p/os folded into michigan ave. detail on days and afternoons, the rest sent back to twenty sector on midnights. Lt S will take Capt F's job because he is retiring.
Not sure if rush street detail will operate out of olde quiet room or the michigan ave detail office but their will only be one sgt on mids and his first name is pat.

Hot off the presses! Promotions and hirings will cease until new mayor is appointed. Lists will be kept up until decision by new mayor. Aunt B considering job with Merchandise Mart in security and may retire after election depending on outcome. She feels she won't be made new Superintendent. J-Fled definitely OUT! He was tenatively offered OEMC job prior to Mayor's announcement. Now the Mayor doesn't want to do any moves with personnel because he's leaving. He's going to take it easy, take care of his Wife, and bow out gracefully. Also, if Dart becomes Mayor then Anita Alvarez will be in trouble. Dart does not like her and would have his people campaign against her. Finally, J-fled may move some exempts around. TRU commander was told to clean up his unit or he will be dumped in 30 days. Ryan may be wearing lieutenant bars soon. One last thing, swipe in will be the norm for work and OT. Other departments currently doing this are seeing a drastic reduction in OVERTIME! This will effect Detectives the hardest. No more "spinning the clock" guys. We all were too greedy. Stay safe

-----------------------------------
YOu must have a crystal ball that is broke. Or do you work in that horse shit new unit. For one Ryan was a Capt so we will not have to go back to Lt. So after your one hole in your story the rest is HOT AIR....Move onto the next BS rumor!

11:52 PM and 12:02 AM: (Both "Anonymous")

"Metaphorically, if you want to target the CLOUT BEAST, you don't aim for the buttocks (HQ), you shoot for the heart (City Hall)" - John Northen

The 10:27 AM poster used my quote. It's God's truth and you know it. Why hasn't FOP attempted to defend their asinine choice for the rally venue? (HINT: Because they can't)

Do you have a problem with that? If so, kindly explain.

Anyone who reads this knows that a huge rally outside City Hall during the next City Council meeting would have MAXIMUM EFFECT because:

(1) hundreds, even thousands of citizen bypassers could join us, (2) public transportation center of city,
(3) aside from the City Council, both Antichrist Daley and perhaps our next mayor will be present,
(4) our paramount problem is a critical shortage of manpower and the inherent dangers it poses to both citizens and our fellow police officers, not the despicable, shameless liar and coward J-Fled,
(5) ideal location for media coverage,
(6) compare circling the block at HQ vs. City Hall. City Hall has exposure on all four sides. Only HQ exposure is across the street from the "bottle gang" at Church's Chicken,
(7) there is no rush. Why can't we get our act together during the monthly FOP meeting a week from Tuesday (9/21) rather than to go off half-cocked without input from the membership, and
(8) albeit, a less than scientific vote showed that an overwhelming number (87%) want the rally at City Hall, NOT HQ.

Frankly, I would like to see huge demonstrations at both locations on different days. However, the morale of the coppers OTJ is so beaten down, a poor turnout at HQ would lead many to believe a rally at City Hall would be hopeless. Why try again?

FOP has never explained their choice of venue. WHY? I DEMAND to know WHY.

I would also suggest EVERYONE go to the march on Wednesday, regardless of any other issues.
We can then plan to march on the hall at the next city council meeting, or the one after that. Since the news is out to the media about the march, a poor showing would not be a good thing at this point in time.
I do agree with Northside, there really isn't a reason to rush, and city hall is the better location, but why cut your nose off to spite your face? Go to 2 marches...

How did you get your job at city hall??? Ron Emmanuel has an uncle who is a retired CPD Sgt and was a good Sgt (old school). I know if Ron gets CPD will keep their pension.Ron will and fight for us against Brady who wants to take our pension away. Good luck to your husband with a wife like you???? Pensions are important.

Wow, what a bunch of lug heads, please think before you touch a keyboard, first off, all these specialized units won't get disbanded and manpower sent to districts, they have and always will need a large group of coppers to move around on a moments notice, you couldn't mobilize them from the district that fast. I see in tghe future part time coppers working in the districts with full police poweres, before you call me a MUSH, do your homework, we have a weak ass union whose knees buckle under pressure. To me it doesn't make a bit of difference, I'm gone in a short time after 35 years of being here. But you young folks need to take notice and fast, you need some outspoken, ballsy people as unit and watch reps, There are only a handful of good W/C's out there to help you, fight fight fight them , they can't FUCK YOU.

C. Rahm (Ron, ha ha) is presumably running for Mayor of Chicago. Brady is running for Governor of Illinois.

D. I agree, police and other liked minded people should avoid Democrats! The Democratic Party of 2010 is NOT the Democratic Party of the 1950s and earlier!
