This is Leadership?
This person was in charge of a watch?
- Psychopath Zawis capers
1. Kid has new baby, wife calls station going to hospital baby sick. No time due.
2. Guys parents 50th anniversary, no time due.
3. Guys kid develops diabetes for ten yrs starts at 7 am. Asks for 6 am start. Jerk off orders timekeepers and sgts to make sure that he starts at either 8 am or 10 am.
4. Girls mother sick with cancer, does she take lunch and personal at hospital, hell yes. The rotten bastard puts her on the desk so she can't visit her sick mother.
5.Guy is supposed to stand up to a wedding, no time due allowed.
Notice how the sick bastard loves to mess with not only you but your family too. Sick son of a bitch.
Zawis sent Wojo down to get his retirement star and he's got an open CR no. Someone of authority please call him on this.
Anyone want to shine some light on these stories? Seeing how he (allegedly) handled the 018 lawsuit, these are all kind of believable.

He sounds like 009's previous commander.
That guy was a douche.
Can you say 'sadistic'?
Zawis hurt his shoulder lifting weights.. he had his buddy .. a sergeant do a false To/From witness statement saying he saw him fall off a chair in the watch commmander's office.
"Do as I say not as I do"
PRICK
u cant teach a stroke new tricks.
BUT ALL U HARD CHARGERS KEEP RIGHTING THOSE PARKERS.
Where is this at?
Sounds like someone with a "human-hating animus."
I can't imagine what kind of treatment he expects when his time comes. "Turn his face to the wall, curse God, and die."
That's just the short list... a total and complete jagoff... the same guy who as a gang sgt. in 018 would consistently be out of the ditrict for extended periods of time, while on duty and run a plate over the air to let his guys know he was back in the district. same guy who never wrote as much as a honorable mention for his guys because in his words, "you were just doing your job." Could continue all nite long but this douchebag is definitely not worth the energy....GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a real piece of work.
Denying time for a sick baby?
Unreal.
Sick, Sick and fucking sick. Why would you even work for a guy like that? There are 74 watches in the cities you can go to. SMH.
And J-Fled and the brass at 35th wonder why morale is sooooo terribly bad. Why in the world would a guy like this be in charge of anything? SAD
I don't know Zawis but that shit is hard to believe. I can say the bosses on my watch have gone the other way on stuff like this. Officers with family medical problems have been well taken care of. Good riddance to this guy if these stories are true.
Zawis destroyed 2nd watch. His prior actions with P.O.s ultimately led to the Corcoran lawsuit.
Capt. Randy is filling in for Angarone this week. Wasn't he supposed to be retired already?
has someone told him to take his star and gun off and proceed to the parking lot for an attitude adjustment--- pain can do wonders for a person----
This also in 017. Its utterly amazing the lengths that bosses will go to totally destroy/fuck with a persons life. Its happened to me numerous times. I just laugh it off to small minds. Cops wives having babies in 017 and were told the doctors will take care of it.
( Captain Joe Mcmahon was the best at it ) What amazes me is that all the bosses have all these big degrees. One even a professor who teaches motivation. And they cant even practice somewhat of a normal leadership.
I will give you a hint. Throw your ego in the garbage.
Catch coppers doing it correct and coach them when they are wrong. Reinforce the good habits.
Make work fun.
Set goals and have everyone pitch in ideas of how to reach them.
Remove alienation tactics totally.
A good boss doesnt have to mess with people to get them to produce.
People will react by wanting to do a good job for you.
But this will never happen because this department thrives on narcissism.
What I am curious to know is what makes a boss want to belittle, humiliate, and totally alienate a copper? What do they get out of it? They must feel like total shit inside to want to do that?
I cant stand most bosses. But I dont go out of my way to cause problems. They engage me and then I come at them with both barrels. And of course they take it personally. Here a hint.
LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE! LOL
I feel for these poor coppers who had to deal with such abuse. But why didn't someone, anyone, file a complaint? Or put in a mass complaint?
--also not a cop
My God...and we used to think we had it bad in 005 while Capt. White was still here!
Sounds like the captain went to the Jody Weis School of Police Morale Building: Chicago Chapter. After all, where, exactly, is he supposed to get his inspiration from when J-Fled sets such an INCREDIBLY POOR example?
There is no Santa, and there are NO normal captains!
Back in the old days, he would have been messed with big times right back.
Payback will be a MFer.
I wonder what retired Sgt.AP has to say about all this? He was and is a class act and probably won't comment but I wonder if he retired when he did because of all of this. I bet he couldn't take it anymore. He was there when Terry was the Captain and then Randy.
Yeah, can't wait to read the comments of the suckholes who would defend a prick like Zawis.

-----------------------------------
I can teach you how to use the right word and spell "WRITE"..
I praise Zawis for sending wojo to HQ, it gave the zone a nice quiet time for a bit.
Ive had the privilege of working for Capt ZAWIS for 8 years .hes been nothing but upstanding and great in my eyes.i know of p.os that have sick family members and hes helped them greatly.ive worked for some great bosses collins,murphy of 017 and randy rates right up there with them.any bad stories about Zawis are bullshit in my eyes.maybe the problem lies with those p.os.
Gotta tell u guys and gals...in 009 we have Bobby J a Frik"n PRINCE...we are blessed to have him...the Hu-DAR...thank god your leaving in December you jag-bag...told a guy when his dad died out of town...Wow you really made this for some nice time off for yourself with your RDO's...this was after he requested to go out of town to see his dieing father...that was denied. TRUE STORY
dont worry...people like this never usually last after retirement...this job is all they have, and the power it brings. when they retire, they usually die very quickly, because they know deep down, nobody liked them...and now they have nothing...they are unhappy people to begin with...i agree with the officer who said "just laugh"...because in the end, "only kindness matters"

Not true, RP in 025, KN in 009, RJ in 009 and MB in 014 are stand up guys.
Once an Asshole, Always an Asshole.
I believe he's retired.
Crimes in Chicago are very hard to solve, I hear. Especially violent crimes.
They also disband the arson unit.
LETS NOT FORGET #6. Committing perjury in Federal District Court against 4 P.O.'s on trial for battering a TMA Supervisor(Canaryville piece of shit), sister of mayoral bodyguard.
How's your stomach hurting now you fucking piece of shit.
Just another punk that got over promoted move along nothing to see here!

Unfortunately,back in the for real old days(the ones I worked in)this asswipe was your typical ignorant boss.Every district was full of saditic,power mad cocksuckers.A common theme with these assholes was they were all heavy,clouted up.I'm finding most newer bosses are easier to deal with.To bad the guys in 018 had to deal with him.
Unfortunately this is the type of jerk-off, (management), leadership we have. This small handful of bosses are all about ego, rather then leadership, pride and leading by example. Check the day LT in 019, same style of sadistic and evil management. It's unfortunate that in today's society we have to not only deal with negative energy from the citizens but our management as well? That's disgusting and a dam shame. What happened to family first? What happened to having pride in your decisions, management style and leadership? I guess maybe some forget where they come from, perhaps they have been where they are too long? A true boss, a respected leader and a man among men does not have to screw people in order to get them to produce. I would think there is never a need to belittle and humiliate a human being, an Officer a co-worker for being there and trying. We became the Police to help people, lend a hand and help us help you. It's easy to sit back and let negativity grow then direct it upon your employees. However, it takes a bigger person to step-up, change their ways and produce not only a positive environment but also a positive work flow.
Sounds like the Dept. should hire back John Farrel to teach "New Bosses Class" at the Academy..

signed Randall Zawis
Why do I have the feeling that there may well be two sides to these stories?
Retirement star with an open CR#?? SCC you must be mistaken. I was personally told by Sgt Dolan, I believe that is the prick's name, down in Personnel that no retirement stars will be given to any personnel with open CR#'s. Called it "retired while under investigation." Looks real good on a resume if you actually want to apply for a real job after retiring. Notice how the FOP and PBPA remain silent on this issue? It happens to many who retire or go on disability and yet nothing is done to change this.
Not talking about retiring while under indictment or anything serious, just an open CR# which is only administrative. Hey SCC how about looking for a good lawyer to file a class action suit about this. How many coppers you think they have done this to and continue to do this to?
"TMA Supervisor...sister of mayoral bodyguard."
...11/03/2010 11:05:00 AM
Someone finally found something even more useless and more expensive than a TMA!
That would absolutely suck and lower moral like the titanic! Great Bosses in 008, were lucky
If he was my Watch Commander, I would purposely come in with zeros at checkoff!
Fuck You Asshole!

My God...and we used to think we had it bad in 005 while Capt. White was still here!
Capt White is a nitpicky micro managing by the book irritating pain in the ass, but she is professional and fair.
The worst southside boss in recent history was John Doty, a truly monsterous piece of sociopathic filth HATED on both CPD and UCPD.
How about the time he fell off the table in the tac office while tuning the television and went IOD. Just in time to miss the summer details while we got sent all over the city.
There's no I in TEAM. But sure as shit, there's one in zawis.
How about the Copper who planned a trip to Disney World with his wife and kids. He comes to zawis 3 months before to put slips in, and Zawis tells him to come back 2 weeks before he is supposed to go away. Copper comes back 2 weeks before the trip and Zawis says Ill let you know. 3 days before Copper is supposed to leave Zawis approves Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, the cock sucker denies Wednesday. The P.O asks him what am I supposed to tell my family, Zawis says tell them to enjoy Mickey. Thank God Bialik took care of it. That pretty much sums up Zawis.
Attorneys for the city catch him up on his roof doing repairs while sitting on the IOD for 9 months.
Guess thats how he's got 200K worth of comp time to sell back when he retires

LMFAO!......Check It Out!
OT ~ So ex-Bear kicker Bob Thomas is an Illinois Supreme Court Justice who is giving DuPage County ASA Joe Birkett a spot on the Appellate court without EVER have been a judge in a courtroom before! And who previously held that Appellate court judgeship? None other than former Chicago Police Officer and Cook County States Attorney Jack O'Malley.
Does the clout and nepotism and back room deals never end? Hey, we don't want nobody here who nobody sent!

Why when we have the real thing leading the charge as violent crimes LT in Area 3.
There are 74 watches in the cities you can go to.
And there are 74 more jagoffs running them as well.

Dolan isn't there any more. He made Lt.
A CR pursuant to a lawsuit is different. Rules for bosses are different. The are printed on fine parchment with gold leaf in fancy hand lettering.
That watch was previously commanded by Capt. McCue, an absolute prince of a boss taken much too young by cancer. His officers and Sgt's would crawl over broken glass for him to get to the gates of hell. And Terry would do anything for his troops. Sick family members, no problem, take care of your family. And on and on. In return, he expected that when he asked something of his troops that it would get done, no asking a second time.
An almost extinct bread on the CPD.
"Why do I have the feeling that there may well be two sides to these stories?
11/03/2010 02:30:00 PM"
because you are a person who's inclined to avoid having a rigorous opinion?
Unfortunately there are people in supervisory and command positions on this job who revel in making their subordinates miserable.
There never was any relief to be had going through "the process" because these individuals were/are clouted to the heavens and heavily vested in assuring their litter mates are insulated from any meaningful sanction.
Appalling how people with guns mistreat other people with guns.
Surprising that shenanigans like this haven't ended "badly" for any of the perpetrators.
Their expectation that Policemen are obligated to grin and bear this foolishness is indicative as to how rotten the culture really is.
We deal with enough grief and aggravation on the streets let alone in the station house.
These individuals are basically punks and cowards.
It would be nice if our fraternal organization employed the services of P.I.'s for situations like this.
To get a bullying, cowardly, sub-human asshole's attention with maximum prejudice, his/her life and altered grasp of reality may have to be turned upside down and shaken if not outright destroyed.
Of course they can dish it out but they can't take it.
J-fled should tell them to "knock it off."
*snicker*
We say if you fuck over a Policeman and their wives, kids and family because you think being a miserable rotter is fun, then fully expect that your dirty underwear will be laid out "sunny-side up" for everyone to see.
How many of these assholes have been the cause of Policemen eating their service weapons?
How many of these assholes have driven good men and women to an early grave due to stress?
A damn shame...
We've witnessed some flat out evil shit over the years.
Granted, going where angels and mere mortals fear to tread to deal with devils can scar the very souls of Policemen and cause them to grow some hard, rugged bark.
Most of us try our best not to fall into that pit.
The ones who are the target of this post laugh with glee and dig the pit deeper so they can enjoy inflicting pain on others by virtue of their rank.
These motherless fucks should be dealt with. Harshly.
The department KNOWS THIS SHIT OCCURS with alarming regularity.
Expose these fools and watch their clout run and hide. Especially if Federal remedy is sought. Department, municipal and state level relief is rationed by Daley Inc.
Can't wait until the lid is blown off the "behavioral alert" fuckery.
Hopefully a new day is dawning and this "Hate The Police" era is coming to an end.
Perhaps all the people who actively sought to hurt Policemen from within CPD will eventually be chased down, cornered and made to face justice by the hands of those who were sorely wounded.
Your masters at Daley Inc. won't be able to save you forever.
Cpt in 013 a fair n good guy. But don't Fuc with him cause he'll get to u n make u want to leave!
Yep. retired Capt. Joe McMahon was a real prince, denying two policemen time off when their wives were in the hospital in labor...both policemen said do what you gotta do capt. cuz I'm not coming in....yet as a Lt. in 017 he acted like everyone's buddy...what a douchebag he was...its too bad there are still some of his ilk within CPD....wonder what their family lives are like?

Truer words were never spoken. A truly miserable human being, if I ever saw a boss who was one.
Our gain is the UCPDs loss. All we ask is that
they keep him.
My God...and we used to think we had it bad in 005 while Capt. White was still here!
11/03/2010 07:00:00 AM
Yeah like it's that great there now with Capt Jones on 3rd watch
Retired Captain John Farrell was the best!
Sounds like he got his management style from Cynthia White.
Not all bosses are asshats. There are some good ones out there, Bobby J in 009 is one that comes to mind. 11/03/2010 11:39:00 A.M. is right. In the real old days on the average, the bosses were worse, but there were some good ones back then too.
Officially Zawis cannot get his retirement star yet and has to pick it up in person..The star he received was an FOP membership retirement star.. We handle the retirement stars and his is still here along with his paperwork.
Can't compare White with Zawis. While White is the consummate nitpicker, she would never agree to stage a harassment program against an officer on her watch with the cooperation of all (or most) of her subordinate supervisors, was is apparently the case in 018 2nd watch. Even Cynthia has some standards which she wouldn't deviate from.
Only 8 more days of zawis. Wonder what became of all his "retirement party posters" that were seen all over the station?...............
Go with the devil Zawis, and leave us with God!
6 days, 20 hours, 39 minutes Left
