Taxpayers About to Get Screwed
Without using the dreaded term "beat realignment," Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis said Tuesday he would "reallocate" police resources by the end of this year from lower crime districts to those that need more officers.
Testifying at City Council budget hearings, Weis vowed to finally deliver on a promise made and broken by at least four of his predecessors.
He's not calling it beat or district realignment, which would entail a complete redrawing of the boundaries of the 281 police beats to coincide with crime and population changes.
That will have to wait until "Phase 2"-- after ward boundaries are redrawn, the superintendent said.
So not only have all the districts been gutted by creating all these "specialized units" that sap manpower from actual physical beats, now if you don't have crime statistics high enough, you're going to lose what little protection you have.
And let's just throw this out there - all criminals aren't all stupid. Where do criminals commit most of their acts? Where there are so many police that they are tripping over them wherever they look? No, they go to where the police aren't.
If you live in a nice area and you don't have a gun, you better get one. Get two. Get a safe. Train the spouse. Fuck Daley and his anti-gun outlook. You are responsible for your own safety and sorry, but we're shorthanded and coming from two miles away.
Hello Detroit.

Not that this shouldn't have happened years ago, but we all know who put the kibosh on doing it during the Hillard and Cline years...Shortshanks. And now that the short coward is leaving, he wants to usher this all in at once, at a time when the CPD manpower is at it's lowest in over ten years (or so I'm guessing, maybe it goes back further than that).
As for J-Fled, it's all too little, too late. You're a complete failure, and no one is going to remember any of this 'blazing reform' you're attempting to shoot up the Dept.'s ass. Just go. Go quickly. But please go. Those of us who remain committed to the CPD are eager to see this place begin the monumental task of rising from the rubble you've left us, but we will get it done, the sooner that you, 3M, the Asst. Supts and most of the Deputy Supts. have cleared your cowardly asses up and bailed.
Some of us have even coined a phrase for this:
CPD RECONSTRUCTION 2011.
that's just plain Dumb. Most of these so called low crimes districts are not that low, it's just that taxpayers don't call the police for every little bullshit and when they do call the police, the respond time is not as fast as the non taxpaying dst because of the damn shortage, taxpayers can't wait for the police because unlike others they do have to go to work and make a living, therefore the crime goes unreported, sad but it's true. Report every little crime and see if your DST is still low in crimes.
I'd give anything to have Vrdolyak back in our ward. He would've seen to it that we didn't lose our police power. At this point, I'd be willing to overlook everything else.
OT..jfled is on fox news right now..what a moron. thats all I have to say... what a moron
If TRU and MSF responded to paper jobs in whatever district they are working, there would be no backlog and enough time for everyone to do some proactive police work instead of having them hide in bushes and put 10 people on a one bag arrest.
There. Now where's my $300k?
It isn't just the real criminals that fuel the need for the Beat Officers. the keep the regular folk in line too. They keep us from running stop signs, driving too fast past schools, paying the meters that pay for our City services (Oops, scratch that one!) They keep our kids in line when they are out and about. EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD needs their Police Officers. Some need more, but WE still need ours.
Rumor has it that all the tactical teams in the city will be disbanded soon. They will return all those officers to the watch for a period while they pick large numbers of officers to be assigned to the new and improved tactical unit, which will be based at Homan Square or some other such facility. This will beef up the watches and also allow for the new teams to be sent citywide just like MSF. It will avoid beat/district realignment and will also avoid contract problems associated with detailing officers outside their assigned district. The end result will be a few extra officers on the watches in the slower northside districts and a whole lot of extra officers available for assignment to the busier south and west side districts.
J-Fled was just on Fox 32 this morning. Can this asshole stay away from a camera?
We know you're losing the best paying job you ever had, but stop acting like the political hacks running for office, will you?
You say nothing but the same crap and are working at making the working men and women of this department look bad in the public eye.
Why don't you people learn, i'm talking civilian readers and police. At times half bt cars are down in 016 and unlike in ghetto districts where there are 10 different secret units saturating area there are NO police! Picture this maybe 8 cars, 16 pos, policing 100,000 people? Does Rockford have 8 cars up in there city? We pay BIG bucks for taxes and have no protection. Open your eyes crime and ghetto dwellers are here to stay. There are section 8 projects all over, look at Central north of Bryn Mawr! Don't let this get worse, better stand up. You will regret it.
Boy's and girls mark today, you heard it here first. The pension will move to 2 tier anyone retiring after 2013 will collect no more than 50%.
Weis in utterly insane. This is absolutely bullshit. I get little to no police service as it is so now I'll never ever see a squad by my house protecting my family and I. And the pond scum got total police service and protection. Bullshit
Mt. Greenwood feels a little less safe already!
this is just the tip of the iceberg: water rates go up mandatory meters garbage fees grass cutting fines if over a certain length clean snow fines up suv fee fireplaces banned or a permit required
Taxpayers do not realize they pay for the full budgeted amount of police, what is that 13K plus?
So the absent numbers are a theft to taxpayers, and what's left over is now going to be re deployed somewhere else? Taxpayers are not nearly angry enough
would have to be by reverse seniority, some of you clout babies across the board might have to do some police work!
All you folks that live between Fullerton and Lawrence and Clark St and the Chicago River are about to be stripped of more of your police officers.
Your police district (the 019th) is already around 18% under budgeted strength and it is about to get worse. How much worse only Jody Weis knows.
You people who pay anywhere from $12,000 to $40,000 or more a year in property taxes on your houses worth up to $2 million or more, prepare for your police officers to go where Jody Weis says they are to go, namely the 003rd, 004th, 005th, 006th, 007th, 011th and 025th police districts. Here's a hint, they don't pay anything near what you pay in property taxes.
You folks in the south end of 019, those who have been concerned about the recent rash of home invasions recently. It is about to get worse, don't leave any ground floor windows unlocked and you better have some means of defending your self.
You people who are getting hit hard by burglaries and car break ins, better make sure your insurance is paid up.
And guess what will happen when the increased crimes results in increased claims on your insurance and Allstate and State Farm hear there are fewer police officers in your area? Insurance premiums are bound to go up and your property values are almost certain to go down.

Look out tax-paying law-abiding citizens in 16, 17, 19, and 22. These fools won't rest until they drive the last person who lives here by choice out. Interesting article in the Tribune about how Indiana is attracting all kinds of businesses and accompanying residents, while we rate just behind California, the worst fiscally sound state.
citizens that live in nice areas have to start calling 911 to report suspicious persons , disturbances , traffic and parking violations if they want to keep odfficers assigned to their neighborhood

Great, now let’s all run to watch Stuperintendent J-Fled on CBS today to listen to more of his pearls of wisdom. Better yet, let’s just have an impromptu media event wherein he can look like a bigger buffoon than he had at the last. Does he really believe that taking officers from neighborhoods that are already depleted and putting them in higher crime areas is going to change anything when if an officer is accused of any allegation they are immediately stripped? We have had more officers stripped for unsubstantiated allegations than anytime in the history of the Chicago Police Department. Does he really believe there is no morale issue? To deny the protector is to deny the protected. Protect your family and friends fine officers; let the rulers protect themselves and their naïve subjects.
My unit is down to (in all practicality) nothing on third and first watches with numerous downed and one officer cars--where are these "extra officers" going to come from?
Don't forget Dick Francis was working solo in a "slow district" when he was killed. How many coppers in slow districts are going to be killed because there is no backup?
There is tooooo much shit that has moved into the north end of 016 thanks to Daley ripping down the CHA buildings and shipping them all over the city and collar counties.
I left a message at Doherty's office this morning, I was one of many that have jammed the phone lines.
But a rifle, buy a shotgun (and if you are a civilian--a nice handgun with a caliber starting with a .4) and do what you have to do to protect your family, god knows that officers in 016, 017, 020, 019, 022, west end of 008, etc are going to be able to help you when you need it.
A final fuck you from Daley and Weis has come.
Mr Weis, if you read this and I know you do, Thank You for Screwing taxpaying people.
I can only hope the alderman in these slow areas will rise up one more time to Daley.
Interesting............I pay the taxes to have a police force in my neighborhood and we get less?!! WTF is that about? So, it just goes to show you, don't pay taxes, don't keep your residence up, don't care about your neighbor if he/she is getting burglarized or robbed. Maybe in the far northwest side should make it a point to exercise that reasoning and to have more crime. Thus, more crime, more police officers. LOL...Not for me. Can't move, so I'm locked and loaded!! Come and get some!!
In the next Press Conference The Fraud should find the closest Reverund drop to his knees & take care of him. Patently obvious that's who he takes his marching orders from.
well here's the deal...if you hear shots fired in your cop neighborhood...please don't call it in...it's only me scaring the shit out of whom ever is looking at my property with more than just a passing interest:) If there's a mistake and he gets shot...I'll make up my own story and call it in.
To citizens living in "low crime" areas of the city you have to realize this.....
Your neighborhoods are already not being patrolled. Don't believe it? Set up a video camera outside your frunch-room window between 3 p.m. until 7 a.m. and count the number of beat cars driving by.
To no fault of the Beat Car Officers, the reason they are not driving by is because they are responding to calls for service in the shitty area of the district (and each district has one)
Now Jody is going to permenantly remove even more officers from whats left of the decent areas and send them to the shitty areas.
One question about this issue: are the neighborhoods that are generally considered "safe" only safe because of the sheer number of cops assigned to them, or because they're stable, middle-class neighborhoods? Does Jefferson Park have less crime because bad guys from Garfield Park don't go there due to the number of patrol cars circulating? I know that the 2,000 cop shortfall is a huge issue, but that you would seemingly side with grandstanding aldercreatures--who consider their local police officers something akin to political cover--is kind of surprising.
The last non-Chicago cop to head the Department, Wilson, the first thing he did was cut the number of precincts (as they were then called) from 50--one per ward--to 25, with district boundaries not linked to politics (wards get re-drawn every ten years. . . ). The aldermen used to appoint their commanders and other higher-ups. The crying you hear from the SW and NW side aldermen is the last echoes of that system. Cline and other previous superintendents would have re-aligned beats but for the political opposition from the aldermen.
That's right Jody & Ritchie: FUCK OVER the taxpaying (and I'll say it) WHITE PEOPLE.
I'll say this----I'll blast anybody who tries to harm me or my family because Beats 1613, 1612 and 1614 are left unmanned because officers are sent places where people don't know how to conduct themselves properly.
TIME 2 LEAVE
I guess it will be safer to live in the ghetto where the police have a greater presence and the RE taxes are lower! LOL
When are we not screwed over?
Jody "Mellonhead" Go Fuck yourself !!!!
Look out boys n girls. Jfed will hang anybody he can for the next few months so he can land another good job.
The other night walking home in the 18th around midnight, I notice one ghetto rat who passed me on the sidewalk going the opposite direction as I walked south on Wabash just south of Walton on the west side of the street was now behind me a half block, walking the same direction. I noticed him as a result of my habit of casually zig-zagging and/or never taking a direct route and often glancing over my shoulder and being aware of who's around me 360 degrees.
As I walk across the street eastbound at a 45 degree angle from the northwest side of Wabash and Delaware, at the northmost tip of Connors Park where Rush/Delaware/Wabash intersect, I see another ghetto rat coming toward me from the west on Delaware. He's at my rear coming from my right flank. I put my right hand down the front of my pants keeping ghetto rat 2 in the corner of my right eye. All three of us are in sight of each other. As I turn right, southbound, on to the west side of Rush, keeping my eye on the closest to me, no. 2, & looking for any one else behind him to his rear left or right while keeping my hand in the middle of my pants, he turns behind me on the west side of Rush. As I turn more toward him, he quickly vears left eastward, crossing Rush street mid block, plays with his belt buckle (?) under his oversized sweatshirt, and walks on ahead of me. I stop and as he makes some distance, I quickly look back for no.1 and he's nowhere to be seen.
Were those two known to each other? Were they out for a leisurly stroll? Is it just coincidence they moved in the changing directions I was moving? Was I holding my dick in my hand? What was under ghetto rat no. 2's sweatshirt?
I'll tell you this. I'm fucking tired of these predatory, rat bastards bird dogging me. I don't care if the're out for a quick hit and a couple of bucks. Fuck this deadly force for deadly force bullshit. Minding my own business, I'm not letting some piece of shit/s "wild on" me or get the opportunity to tee-off on me -- first-- on what may or may not be deemed deadly force before, I protect myself. I'm not gonna get knifed or beaten to a pulp, live thru it with complications, and then be bankrupt from the medical bills.
You get too close to me in a situation like that, time & situation permitting, I'm going to give visual and vocal warning and beyond that it's going to be bang, bang. It could be me that loses or it could be them. Either way, I'm not going down holding my dick in my hand.
If it sends me to jail, so be it. I'll take one for the minding there own business team. People have to start fighting back. The police can't be everywhere all the time and like the domestic terrorists that they are, ghetto rats are going to attack at the weak spots.

We are coming from 2 miles away 4-5 min. after you place the 911 call.
We actually have a better chance of catching the offender if we are a mile from the scene in the direction he fled.
We will give you a report number for insurance purposes.
Prevention, damage mitigation and defence is totally up to you.
Good luck.

OT Radios are down citywide. some zones completely out and off the air. others sound terrible!
For the amount of property taxes that I have to pay for to live in Beverly the only police enforcement in my neighborhood as it stands now are the residents. We all know that more Police are needed in the city, but to further strip away what little we have is not good government. I say government because everyone knows that lil king richard runs the CPD show. No media outlet has even addresed the issue of the waste of government resources such as the platoon of Officer's guarding the daley's and burkes. I don't think that whoever replaces these political criminals that hold office will be able to correct the fiscal devastation that they will leave behind. How sad. And what happens to daley once he steps aside, I doubt he will live in Chicago, he hardly does already with as much time as he spends at his Michigan estate. And what of the others? Hubberman has already been allocated another high paying position in the private sector, this during an economy where people in Illinois can't find a job. Jody and the carpetbaggers will be gone to who knows where, masters will bail, all the rats are jumping ship. This being the case why are we the real residents of Chicago being screwed over like a rock ho. On election day remember...we get the government we deserve.
they are already doing it with 025 district detail---- culling officers from other districts via a contract violation---- how come 023 and 024 are asking for volunteers first and then filling the rest of the spots by reverse seniority while other districts are just picking people to go every night---- the grievance forms are piling up and someone's head is going to roll when they cut the checks to make the grievant officers whole again... policing in the city is dead, if you are the victim of a crime all you will get is a zombie showing up at your door who will hand you a piece of paper--- no investigation, no hope, just a brief encounter with an officer before he dashes off to the next cluster fuck.....

I can hold out indefinitely this way...
The man is really, genuinely, frantically crazy to keep his job. He's suddenly found the "Things To Do" list from the day he started work.
By the way, isn't the re-drawing of ward boundaries to reflect ethnic changes "racist," "segregation?" Of course not; not when it creates powerful "minority" voting blocs. This should be illegal.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I live in 22, and if we lose any more officers you can bet I, and many of my neighbors, will be buying handguns.
In the past ten years, I have noticed that the decent parts of Chicago that were good to live in (the Northwest side and Southwest side) are slowly shrinking and getting worse.
Think about places like Irving Park and Central or Belmont and Cicero. About twenty years ago, they were good places to live and raise a family. Then slowly it turned into shit and now it is not an acceptable place to live.
About to?
"Pay No Attention to the Man behind the Curtain!!!"
Weiss said that he is considering hiring retired police officers for support positions. He said that this has been successful in New York and Los Angeles. It is too early to tell until we have specifics, but this seems like a good idea
I can't wait for Daley and J-FLED to leave offices!
They have really fucked up this, once proud Police Department with their silly, stupid shit!
Da Pelon
What part of our contract allows a reassignment of the type hinted at here? Now I know that anyone can be involuntarily detailed for 90 days to any unit, however that was not the idea given to taxpayers of a permanent solution to a crisis created by the city. After 90 days the officers go back and Jody leaves with his half million in stolen money, he did do one job for the city badly but he did do it. For the other job that he never did, but was paid, that money was stolen. However, we all know the exact mistake that our "fine leaders" will make with this program, seniority. This involuntary detail will not be based in seniority which will mean that the detailees will be eligible for time and one half for the entire time that they are detailed. How do I know this and our so called bosses do not? I guess that this is the one question that I did get right on the sergeant's exam. By the way Jody we all know what you are, even if the citizens don't.
And we make fun of the French who at least have the Balls to protest about their retirement!!! We here are sheep and do nothing but Vote in the Dems Over and Over and Over. WTF People wake up. Too many sell outs to try to get an inside spot of as a driver. You people kill me.
The beats in these good areas are already too large and these dopes are going to make them even larger. What an outstanding idea, remove the cops from the areas that pay for the police and send them to the areas that don't pay much for anything other than over priced gym shoes. The slow districts get in a backlog on a regular basis now. I guess it's not going to get any better.
I know I'm actually very motivated by the prospects of longer delays for response to jobs and if anything goes wrong when you actually get there that Jody will have your back and prosecute you for your actions.
This was posted on the Sergeants Association web page.
19 October 2010
Superintendent Jodi Weis stripped one of our members on Friday evening over an allegation of excessive force. The Superintendent then held a press conference to tout his actions and condemn police brutality thus convicting a sergeant in the court of public media. Without a complete and thorough investigation, Weis saw fit to sully the reputation of not only the sergeant accused, but several patrol officers as well. In doing so, Weis has given the press reason to bring up past instances of police misconduct and to lead the public to believe that this is commonplace in our department. Mr. Weis, in his weak attempt to gain credibility with politicians and community leaders, has tarnished the reputation of the entire department. Misconduct complaints against department members should be investigated fully before being commented on in the press. Mr. Weis, in his decision to strip the sergeant and officers of their police powers, has made another knee-jerk reaction to an incident without being able to comment on the facts. If he still does not understand why morale is so low under his leadership, he needs to look no further than this most recent action.

The good people living in the police beat 433 would like to see a police vehicle at least once in awhile.
Very good rumor.... Gang enforcement will be either disbanded or severely cut in half. It will happen before the end of the year... But king leo will lie to all of you and say how it is not true etc. he will have another senseless meeting and blow smoke up your asses all the while screwing you all for only his benifit. You heard it here first folks.
Fuck you Jodi. Let the ghetto burn for all I care. I pay my goddamn taxes and expect the protection I pay for.
Boy's and girls mark today, you heard it here first. The pension will move to 2 tier anyone retiring after 2013 will collect no more than 50%.
I'm calling BS on this...But if it were true, I would not return to work tomorrow.
would have to be by reverse seniority, some of you clout babies across the board might have to do some police work!
( Don't be so quick)
Not anymore they can take as needed.
The contract does not protected you.
Ask the defective division they have been taking them the last 4 years to the jest center seniority does not count. Never a clout baby sent, if you have 25 years the clout baby has 5 years you will go.
disbanding district tactical officers makes sense , take the top 2 from each team and assign them to a citywide tactical unit
out the reaining blue jean bearded police back in uniform
that's where we need them
no more come late , 45 min roll call , time for lunch 1-2hours
make a pinch and duck early
where are the watch commanders
we know where tactical sergeants are , , same place as tact officers
Two of the stripped officers weren't even at the scene you fucking jag off, fuck you. Hahahahaha lawsuit is being filed against you.
Yet another shining example of 'wealth redistribution'.
You have 'direct' wealth redistribution' where you're taxed by a central government who in turn passes your money back out to non-tax payers in the form of lagresse. Section 8 housing, LINK cards, etc... Then, you have this; wealth redistribution in the form of finite resources taken away from a paying group and given to a non-paying group. Police and Fire services "reallocated" from those paying for them to those not paying for them, yet demanding them in gross disproportion.
Let there be no doubt. This form of wealth redistribution is just as- if not significantly more- odious than Section 8, LINK or direct forms of redistribution. This directly endangers the well being of you and your family.
There is a community in Chicago who perpetually demands 'services'. More and more and more 'services'. Services, services, services, yet in spite of being constantly served, they produce nothing of value and contribute nothing towards actually paying for those 'services'.
I am sick and tired of parasites, individually or culturally. The entitlement culture must end. In order for this to happen, we must start allowing people to suffer the outcomes of their own shitty life decisions. If this means you don't work, then you don't eat. If this means you're a participant in a culture that lives a base, animalistic existence, then those not living that way will not furnish you with services related to undoing the squalid and unsafe standard of living you've chosen for yourselves.

Mt. Greenwood has something just as valuable as a strong police presence. Mt. Greenwood has a unified community outlook, a sense of civic duty and a willingness to fight to keep what they have.
Other communities used to have this, but in time, it weakened and as the resolve of the community deteriorated, so did the neighborhood, in perfect syncopation.
put them all in 07 or 15 - shithead citizens who pay the absolute least in property taxes, sponge the most SSI, pay pretty much zero federal income tax, but ,yeah, let's reward them and give them the best service.
I am sick and tired of the political hacks trying to "sell" Chicago to the rest of the world by trying to lower the murder rate.

Amazing! Weis puffs out his over inflated chest, gets that constipated look on his face, tells the world that he has seen the video and the actions were "egregious" and that these officers needed to be taken off the street based on what he saw. Less than 1 week later 2 of the 7 have been returned to work. Face it people Weis has not the slightest clue as to what a working cop faces or needs to do to survive on a day to day basis. I think the Police Dept would run better with Boss Hogg running it than Weis
Mr Reality on October 20, 2010 5:36 PM
Jody Weis will try to sell the public anything or do anything to improve his horrible image. The reverends and southside aldermen are the only people in the city that like him but they are suffering the most from his failed polices of forcing retirements, encouraging retirements,wrongfully firing and persecuting his own officers, causing morale to plummet and officers to leave the city for cop jobs elsewhere, clout promotions etc,,, His policies have caused many lives not just of CPS students of police officers as well. NOW he wants to hire back armed retired cops that he encouraged to retire by making the job unbearable(that despise him also) at a low wage with no benefits like a crossing guard. Unbelievable , it is all about jody.

jody wies should be the one put on desk duty, for being a coward.
Weds morning around 0330hrs, not 1 car in 011th dist was dispatched a job, 2 cars were in 011 on Hazmat training...same time in 016th Dist every car was dispathed to a job, 2 beat cars down again! and 1 car working as the wagon.. Will manpower be sent to 016th where the crime rate is going up? SEND HELP!!!!!
And 017 CAPS is fat and large? Nice Groucho thanks for screwing over the working cop and 39th Ward QAS public in an election year. So if you live in 017 Dist/39th Ward QAS and have been a victim of crime think of this when you go to vote. Any thoughts Margie? Mikey doesnt live if your ward
Had to laugh. One candidate for alderman in Shiller's 46th Ward, Molly Phelan, actually thinks that she'll get MORE manpower in the 023rd district: and I quote, "It is time for the 46th Ward to get the resources we need!"
Gee, Molly, what planet have you been living on!?!

saw on the news a bunch of liberal white taxpayers saying they agree that police manpower should be removed from their neighborhood and sent to the high crime areas.
gee, i wonder how many hundred people the had to interview before they found those three idiots and their sound bites.
Rumor has it that all the tactical teams in the city will be disbanded soon. They will return all those officers to the watch for a period while they pick large numbers of officers to be assigned to the new and improved tactical unit, which will be based at Homan Square or some other such facility. This will beef up the watches and also allow for the new teams to be sent citywide just like MSF. It will avoid beat/district realignment and will also avoid contract problems associated with detailing officers outside their assigned district. The end result will be a few extra officers on the watches in the slower northside districts and a whole lot of extra officers available for assignment to the busier south and west side districts.

Now that is one of the most far fetched rumors on here in a while. Nice lie.
Masters.
Rumor has it that 016 will only have one police officer assigned to patrol the whole district!
The bigger question than beat realignment is what calls we respond to.
Eliminate the BS calls and more cops will be available to respond to the real calls.
Little Ray Ray isn't doing his homework? Sorry, granny that isn't a police issue.
Little Ray Ray has an AK-47? Now that's a police issue.
I wouldn't piss on J Weis if he was on fire, but like a broken clock twice a day even he might accidently be right on occasion.
Beat realignment is necessary and I hope the idiot gets it right. I doubt it though.
I look forward to the day Weis is run out of town while being followed by a herd of horny and rabid male goats. I may even buy him a wool Irish fisherman's sweater to make the goats go crazier.
What's Levar doing about this? Probably nothing.
Can I get a fucking event number!

Is there ever going to be a Detectives class?
JFed is an asshole. By doing this he's letting idiots like Beale and all the play reverends call the shots. To hell with the tax paying citizens in the non ghetto they'll have to make do with even less police protection.
There's a reason his 4 predecessors never did this because it's political suicide. JFed doesn't give a fuck. He knows he's a short timer now so he wants to leave this department a smoldering mess.
Seeing his smug mug all over the news lately makes me nauseous . JFed fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Don't let the door hit you in the ass!
thank GOD i got that shotgun!
“That's just plain Dumb. Most of these so called low crimes districts are not that low, it's just that taxpayers don't call the police for every little bullshit.....”
Amen brother!!! I tell my neighbors to call 911 to report graffiti or any other problems. I tell them those are the numbers that downtown and the aldercreatures look at. The way I look at it is “use it or lose it”. I never have a problem responding to a call from a decent tax paying citizen!
BREAKING!!! City now fucked. Thanks dicky. thanks jody. Oh mr. shortshanks, now that you're puppet is gonna take Police from 016 and put them in some ghetto, you can reduce my taxes.
The comment about the temporary end of tact teams really is not that far fetched. It happended in the late 70's. I was working tact and the watch could draw the entire tact team if they needed to to fill the beat cars. Many times the only person working tact was the sergeant. The entire team was in uniform and on beat cars often for weeks at a time. The idea has precedent, if not logic and reason. This department has done some prety dumb things in the past. The sergeants were given unmarked cars because of a shortage of blue/whites, but they had to put rubber magnetic mats on each door. The mats had a CPD star on them. I will never be amazed or shocked on what comes out of the HQ bldg.
I am so glad I will be retired before too long.
This place is FUBAR.

isbanding district tactical officers makes sense , take the top 2 from each team and assign them to a citywide tactical unit
out the reaining blue jean bearded police back in uniform
that's where we need them
no more come late , 45 min roll call , time for lunch 1-2hours

Really? You think so? only hiring 200 officers within the next few years. Have to make up for it some how.
Rumor is there is to be another 100 officers added to MSF after the already 150 being added. Which will be a tactical part of MSF (unmarked cars/plain clothes).
TRU gone after this peroid or next (winter months = less crime = can do with out a extra saturation type unit). Same thing with GEU.
I also think the gun teams will be gone too despite the federal funds. they'll probably funnel that through MSF.

Call Dick Durbin's office. he was on a radio show talking about how we need to help the pensions by keeping the promises that were made to the men and women who worked for them.
You had better get on board. call his office tell him to get a bill to help our pensions.
I live by Queens on Northwest side and you never see the police anymore. Back in the 1970's there were plenty of break ins. Are you telling me that it is going back to that? At least back then we saw the squads. Im not the police but respect you guys for what you do out there.
Gery Chico is our only hope!
I worked for the schools when Gery was there- believe me he does not like the police. Back stabber.
But we can afford take home cars WTF! That would be the first thing I get rid of as SUPT. Too many perks & too many want the promo but dont want to do the job. Trim all the brass. You either produce as a CDR or your fired-Semper FI
Drastic measures need to be taken
Gregory JEFFRIES, age 19, told Fox TV news that he did NOT spit on the 6th Dist. officers. The officers conduct was very egregious and unacceptable.
I will issue a general order forthwith that will clarify the appropriate procedure to document expectoration versus CPD sworn personnel. First, all sputum and saliva must be photographed by an evidence technician. Buccal swabs must also be taken from both the mouth of the alleged spitter and the sputum on the police officer(s) for forensic DNA analysis. Under no circumstances will sworn personnel retaliate against spitters with physical force. This would constitute egregious police brutality. In the event of a positive DNA match, an ANOV will be issued citing the spitter with spitting on the street.
I've got your back. My response to this egregious incident was well thought out. No one will mention the words "premature" or "apology". I am a reformer.
Carry on. Gotta run.
The whole beat thing is stupid anyway. We spend more time on some lazy ass' beat anyway.
JFled hasn't seen a camera he didn't like lately. He's been on TV more than little Tommy, maybe he's gonna run for mayor? We know one thing for sure-he gonna run!!!!
6:04 you bet your ass Gery Chico is our best bet,,,,Rahm is just a another Daley, except more arrogant and a bigger ego.

I don't get it. Why would you want to come back and work for the CPD after you retired? Why would you retire from here in the first place then?
Guess there's already been talks of certain districts giving up numbers to other districts. I don't know how the hell they're going to pull this off and stay within the contract. The districts that are on the list to be giving up PO's are:
012, 013, 016, 017, 019, 020, 023
The Ghetto Warriors wil still lock up the Reckless Conduct Kids, The One Bag of Weed & The Dice Throwers.
Becuase they're crusaders out to make a difference in the Community.
SOFTBALL MUSHES the Districts are full of them
Stop calling me a premature ejaculator.
Back in the early 70's, I tracked beat maps for the entire city. There were some small beats in size of area. The very smallest was Beat 1010 bounded by Douglas Blvd., 16th St., Trumbull and Christiana. From the corner of 15th & Homan, you were looking at all blocks in Beat 1010.
Since they lifted the POWER Test requirement every officer should purchase an M4. Protect you and your family.....protect your fellow officers......fuck the politicians......and ohhh yah FUCK YOU J-FED.....Everytime I see your face on the news I feel like vomiting, and I feel ashamed that I have a coward for a leader!
BULLSHIT, the good guys - you know, the citizens that don't commit crimes, have a job and pay taxes now get even less police protection. BULLSHIT
10:28 AM
When O.W. Wilson became superintendent in the wake of the Summerdale Scandal, there were 38 districts within 6 areas. The districts were numbered 001 (Central) to 041 (Rogers Park) with three numbers vacant.
It would be impossible to have district and ward boundaries to correspond. Assume the latest 2010 census data lists Chicago's total population at 3,000,000 (it will be less). Each of the 50 wards would have a population of about 60,000 people.
If Chicago ward populations corresponded to those in New York City and Los Angeles, Chicago would have only 16-17 wards/alderman. While almost three times more populated than Chicago, New York City has 76 NYPD pcts. and 51 city council members (wards).

weis didn't say "hire" retired police officers. At the budget hearings weis said he was considering an auxiliary police, using retirees who would "volunteer" their time to help out, do investigations etc.
This was brought straight from downtown to the recent FOP General Meeting by Greg Bella. Everyone had a good laugh at weis' suggestion that there is a contingent of retired police who will "volunteer" to form this auxiliary.
weis evidently doesn't know our retired coppers. While there may be a few softballs who would work for free the vast majority will not do it for free. At a discount perhaps but never for free. weis cited some examples including a "posse" in Maricoipa County, AZ. This brought additional guffaws from the crowd of PO's in attendance.
Can you imagine a police "posse" of old timers here? Old guys going out for free and doing, what exactly? Who supervises these "free" workers? You could hardly supervise them when the city paid them, for free they would do what they want, sober or not.
There were more pipe dreams from weis indicating he has been smoking something that has removed him from reality here in Chicago.
Guess there's already been talks of certain districts giving up numbers to other districts. I don't know how the hell they're going to pull this off and stay within the contract. The districts that are on the list to be giving up PO's are:
012, 013, 016, 017, 019, 020, 023
There are no minimum "manning" numbers per district in any contract, so... when the decide to downsize a district they will look for volunteers to leave then reverse seniority, it's real easy.
Mmmmmmm....I LOVE getting screwed harder-and-harder....mmmmm...

Same goes for J-Fed we don't have the money for more cops but we have money to pay cops time and a half to work on our days off to man cars, huh.

Now that is one of the most far fetched rumors on here in a while. Nice lie.
probably has some truth to it the tact lts are to give up their cars soon. who'd want to work tact as a lt or anything else for that matter tact sucks.
Your police district (the 019th) is already around 18% under budgeted strength and it is about to get worse. How much worse only Jody Weis knows.
You people who pay anywhere from $12,000 to $40,000 or more a year in property taxes on your houses worth up to $2 million or more, prepare for your police officers to go where Jody Weis says they are to go, namely the 003rd, 004th, 005th, 006th, 007th, 011th and 025th police districts. Here's a hint, they don't pay anything near what you pay in property taxes.
You folks in the south end of 019, those who have been concerned about the recent rash of home invasions recently. It is about to get worse, don't leave any ground floor windows unlocked and you better have some means of defending your self.
oh stop what does 019 do anyway ?
019 averages about three to five
calls for service per beat.hardly overworked and since when did police prevent burglaries anyway
think increased security cameras gates locks alarms guns and dogs and stop depending on police.

Once you make good your escape from this circus, why on earth would you want to come back? Also, why would you VOLUNTEER your time to enable them to NOT HIRE new officers ???
Just receive a letter from FOP asking me to vote for Brian Doherty- who paid for this mailing? better yet Why would they send me something like this. I heard Dorothy say we need to do away with pensions.
6:04 you bet your ass Gery Chico is our best bet,,,,Rahm is just a another Daley, except more arrogant and a bigger ego.
You better HOPE Rahm becomes mayor with his connections he may save your pension-Gery is a union hater ask the the Chicago Teachers Union.
11:42 PM: To collect a soon to be gone Pension. If you still live in this town after retirement your pension alone will not cut it .you need a supplemental income.
Whats the reason for take home vehicles. so that the top percent receive a free car to use with gas and maintenance included??????
This stinks to high heaven, if they get called out they can take their own vehicle to the nears station and pick up a vehicle to go to the scene. Like that ever happens.

Why even have a pension then, anyone staying longer than 20 years would be losing money. Career workers could do much much better investing on their own.
Hey boys & girls that is because us & our neighbors don't call the police enough. Start to call them for EVERYTHING. Call anytime that you see a car or person that doesn't look like it fits. Call for the kids hanging on the corner and what not. That will be the only way that you will keep a couple of squads anywhere close to the homefront.
All we do is get screwed and stabbed in the back. This Jody guy is out of control and has absolutely no clue what he's doing.
Yep, the real texpayers in the nicer homes will get zero police, while the section 8 areas will get loads of cops!
Good thinking j-fled.

You think so. You first.
I paid in one hundred thirty thousand. I have already collected Nine hundred thousand and no were never dying. This is one social program I love.
Completely OT, but since this post does concern taxpayers I thought it was the best place to post.
I was working special employment tonight and was eating dinner. A very nice couple with an adorable 4 year old girl was in the booth next to me. The little girl kept peeking over the booth, and finally said hi. I said hi back and she slipped back down behind the seat. A short while later the waiter brought me a dessert, and tolde me it was "compliments" of the family sitting next to me. At that time the woman told me that they wanted to thank me for the job that we do, and for protecting their daughter.
I thanked her, and we talked a little bit. She is a nurse and her husband is a businessman. Before they left, I thanked them again and tried to explain that their gesture meant alot, considering it against the number of times I have been cursed out, called names, been spit on, kicked and punched. Yet, I was so stunned by this gesture I don't think I really let them know how much it meant.
My point is this...to my fellow officers, it may not seem like it (especially lately), but there are people out there who do appreciate us. And to the civilians who read this blog, thank you to those who do appreciate us, and please understand that we are not always as negative as we may seem here. We are frustrated, in a thankless job. We greatly appreciate those of you that support us, and believe me, what that family did for me tonight - a simple dessert - will be one of my greatest memories of this job. It really is what it's all about.

FWIW, with all due respect, it's no fiction bourne from an over active imagination.
"those who can, do.

stfu & keep your business to yourself."
You're a cop?
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're a professional cop and I respect you for that, alone.
But, nah, I'm not going to keep to myself predators stalking people minding there own business in Chicagos neighborhoods with the diminishing police presence.
That said, what I post stands at the whim of SCC. He says STFU. So be it.

Trust me, you do not want ward boundaries the same as police district boundaries. In addition to efficiency, one of the main reasons O.W, Wilson reduced the number of districts from 38 to 40 was to get them away from ward boundaries.
Disbanding the Tact Teams may not be a bad idea. The system in place in the 60's was each district had 4 or 6 2 man crime cars divided between the 2nd and 3rd watches. They always worked in plain clothes for the District Commander, and directly under the direction of the Watch Comander. There was also a Vice Unit, under a Sergeant working under the DC and the WC that kept minor vice problems, prostitutes, gambling, taverns, etc under control. The crime car people were recruited because of their activity. At the same time there was a unit assigned to 4 of the then 6 areas that supplemented patrol, had a detail section for events and such, and was specifically riot trained. It was called, ready for this, the Task Force. This left a lot of people to man the beat cars, even though some districts had as many as 32 beats. Yes, that' correct 32, all of which were required to be manned on the 3rd Watch with 2 men. I don't believe any district had fewer than 16 beats.
