Street Talk Series

Supposedly, one meeting down and they canceled the next one. As one comment suggested, did they get all the "input" they needed and canceled the rest as unnecessary? Or did they pretty much sit around for the hour with no one saying a word, leading to the awesome conclusion that the leadership of Ernie and Jody have solved all of the Department's problems?

Did anyone attend or know someone who attended? And did they keep their spots after having themselves a little "street talk" with Ernie's people?

Ernie brown another reason the demise of CPD is imminent! The big liar old Ernie cannot even keep his lies straight on a resume a little town of Buckeye Arizona. They figured out the lie but the bosses here have no clue why? Reverends?

To those MBA types, correct me if I'm wrong. My thoughts:

A law enforcement agency requires an "authoritative" management style b/c of the dangerous emergency situations we encounter.

One that has clear knowledge and adheres to a chain of command. Roles are clearly defined and higher rank assumes responsibility/ expertice.

We NEED competent supervisors and we need to TRUST their ability to manage an emergency situation.

Weis and Co. inadvertently told the troops (us) that he doesn't know how to run this Department and asked for our help.

WTF! Essentially, a PPO could speak and during that moment, Weis has conceded/ surrended "the floor."

Street Talks & Town Halls amount to a sense of desperation and feebleness from our Fearful leader.

Whats up with downtown eb's admin Sgt having a take home unmarked car? Not only that, he has the nerve to bring it to work Safe City over the weekend. Didn't Dugan take away all of the cars from admin people? Maybe the Sgt will get called in off hours to proof read one of ernies teletypes.

They will call it a success because no one talked, knowing that intimidation and fear kept everyone quiet. If someone does say that complaints are not being heard, they will say "you had your chance."

It is a classic move used in the private sector by poor managers.

I guess someone asked Ernie how a male black was a sergeant 3 month ago, then became meritoriously promoted to lieutenant 2 months ago, could become a commander in 1 month? Is that "sergeant" more qualified than all the existing lieutenants and captains? Or is he just black? Jim Crow in reverse.....

Ernie was not happy, just nappy.

Something that was discussed yesterday: 002 District midnights is not approving any time due the entire 13th period. NONE!

Are there any other districts like this?

captains are looking stressed out but so is everyone else--- some of these captains are micro managers and the thought of being in charge of a bunch of people they don't know must be driving them nuts... do you really want a captain reviewing your trr who you don't even know--- they also don't know you---- look out, another tsunami looming on the horizon.....

I hope this captain stuff is not true. For those of us who have captains we acutally like it's gonna suck. The little activity that is done by p.o.'s now will go down to NONE!!!!!! Except for the 5 years wonders who are always gonna try to get on TACT beacuse it's the cool thing to do, or so they think.

Street talk series cancelled today. They got enough ideas from the first day and no reason to continue???

They probably realized the meetings conflicted with:
1. Christmas/retirement parties
2. Cake and coffee retirement celebrations (LOTS of those coming up)
3. Mani/pedi appointments
4. Job interviews for those no longer protected by the outgoing mayor
5. Holiday brunch in the Walnut Room

We see this all the time; it's called the "Delphi Technique" -- creating the illusion of public participation where there is none.

Example -- the CTA decides to cut certain bus routes. Once they have made that decision, they then "open a period for public comment" and announce meeting locations where the public can come and yell and scream and "vent" to no avail.

Also, prolly gonna make 4-5 more Capt.'s.....not enough $$ for one per watch-thats why the "cluster f--k" Zone Capt.(My words-lol)

On this note,with the shortage of cars why do GEU detectives have take home cars? Are they on call 24 hours a day? How do dets have take home cars and the sgts don't? If the sgts don't then it would follow that a lower ranking det would not get a take home car. My guess, one of the GEU dets is a clout baby and to make it look legit all the dets in the unit got one. The Chicago way.

Expecially when the only comment of a supposed attendee was "they sounded sincere."

Hey Nimrod, it's not aout you being you being disarmed. It's about you looking stupid but more importantly, it is tactically unsound. How in the world can you justify walking around with two semi-automatic pistols with both of them butt facing forward? How can you tell me that it's better from a tactical standpoint, to be able to draw either one of those pistols with both of them in a crossdraw position? You can't. And if you were to go to ANY shooting school anywhere in the world and tried to explain how YOU think it's a better manner of carrying your pistols, they would laugh you right out of their school and off their property.
