Get Ready for Another Medal
J-Fled and Masters Masters Masters will have an entire row of ribbons at this rate:
- Reports of violent and property crimes continued to decline in the first half of 2010, according to preliminary crime report released by the FBI Monday.
The FBI's semiannual uniform crime report shows that reports of violent crime dropped 6.2 percent from January to June and property crime reports were down 2.8 percent.
The dip in reported crimes follows a three-year trend of decreasing crime rates despite a sagging economy.
Of course, the FBI doesn't use Chicago's numbers in their figuring because Chicago fudges the definitions of "crime," but J-Fled insisting that there were 23 straight months of reductions must be the truth, right? Why else would he be going forward with a massive redeployment of manpower resources if there wasn't any crime to fight?
Is anyone in the media picking up on this at all? If crime is down, why move police? If the police are bitching about back-up and strength, maybe crime isn't "down" at all? If the city hasn't hired but two classes in over three years, hasn't promoted a single detective in that same time frame while retirements have not only continued, but continued at a higher rate than in years past, maybe all isn't as it seems.
Oh yeah, and the mayor is a liar nine ways to Sunday. Why would anyone believe a single number coming out of City Hall?

Wow... Holy Shit! Say it aint so, Joe...
Crime is DOWN? really? No way...
Its got to be a mistake or something.
Every day on www.chicagobreaking news.com is a report of another MENSA canidate shot on the South or West side. I think Chicago Breaking is full of shit, 'cause lord knows, j-fraud would NEVER lie to us, or the public.
Liar Liar pants on fire! Your nose is as long as a telephone wire!
maybe the city really is broke--- 20 years of mcmumbles has put us into the bottom of the pit--- my pension better be there or all hell is going to break loose...
I ask myself this everyday why some shootings never reported. Why is crime down, when we all know it isn't. Why lie like this and loose more credibility with all of us that live here or work in this shithole.
Is it even worth bitching about anymore?
The media must be on a payroll somewhere.
maybe it will all come back on them who put us all in harms way.
Stay safe
Everyone is a Winner!
...in a related story gang leaders have reported the code of silence programs are working!
When the tech savvy recruits get here we can all cheer that reported crime is down even more right?
No arrest - no crime
"We want people who are able to reach out to the community that they serve and come up with solutions," Ladner said. "And the solution isn't always arresting people."
QUESTION: Why no ribbon with clusters for hundreds, even more than a thousand Part I felony arrests/convictions?
ANSWER: Because not one of the current exempts would have earned this true indicator of excellence.
my pension better be there or all hell is going to break loose...
Yea right... Many of us would go to work for free we are so brain washed. We havent stuck together and we never will.
Guess where this new ribbon will go? Right into the garbage as I walk out of roll call like the last 2 bullshit ribbons.
Crime is down and I was involed....gimmie my freakin ribbon.
At this rate, I extrapolate the continuous reduction in crime and hereby determine that by 2016 there will be NO crime whatsoever in Chicago!
Do we get a double ribbon with gold braid epaulet then?
How come we didn't hear about this continuous decline in crime all along? It's only in the past several months that HQ is touting a 23-month decline?
F*ck JFled. Plop your fat ass on your rickety old pony and clomp the hell out of town you piece of crap!
"We want people who are able to reach out to the community that they serve and come up with solutions," Ladner said. "And the solution isn't always arresting people."
--------
Oh, I forgot. We're supposed to fight fires, right? Oh, that's right, that's what firemen do. What was it police are supposed to do again? Fight crime around the campfire while telling ghost stories and eating s'mores with bad guys? Somebody let me know. It's been so long since I've done any police work I forget.
So.....are we getting another award? Or what?
Will some one in the media get some balls and really get to the bottom of this start doing the real news and gather your information and speak up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe its time to research and make a right decision come feb 22 2011 if you want to make a differents vote for the right person not the connected one let make a real change from mayor to alderman the time is now the future realize on it support those that are for us not against us . throw out the old and let start new god bless.
These awards are also given out to the crossing guards and detention aids. Cant wait to get mine.
And the moon is made out of green cheese.
When do we get the I Surrived Richie ribbon.
You must have been on the job for at least five years to receive it. The five year rule is because officers with less still have/had hope that they could earn promotions etc.
After five they know they are fucked.
This ribbon will be the Chicago flag but replacing the stars with skulls. Like the T shirt out there.

OT *** Praying they find the two firefighters that are trapped/missing
Pray for the safety of our CFD firefighters at 1744 E. 75th St.; fire with collapsed wall.
(OT) Pray for the firefighters this is bad!
Just want to say thanks to the 016th dist. officers who locked up the m/1's who were at irving park and austin in traffic looking for money from motorists for a phoney charity. I know people on this blog say forget about the south end of 016 because its lost, but there are still fellow officers living there, and once again thanks for helping keep this side of 016 safer.
OFF TOPIC:
Bad day for the CFD today - please keep them in your prayers.
Sounds like one or two of the injured are in grave condition - ALL of us do not need another tragedy.
God bless....
CPD 96-4
Remember, these are REPORTED crimes. So if no one made a report then no crime occurred. I work in a busy district and I can tell you first hand that we hit a backlog 80% of the time during the summer months. I see jobs pending of burglary reports, theft reports, assault, battery reports, etc.... and of course they have to wait since the offender isn't on scene. Well they don't wait for long. So no report made, no crime occurred in the eyes of the Department of Justice and FBI who compile this data for cities nationwide.
*** CONTINUE TO MAKE ARRESTS, WRITE PARKING TICKETS, MOVERS, ANOV'S, CURFEWS, ETC...***
"my pension better be there or all hell is going to break loose..."
It's here. $.05 on the dollar.
If crime is down it means that we have been working harder to make Chicago a safer city. I think we may be over worked and deserve more time off. How about more vacation days with pay some extra BFD days and personal days with pay. The ribbons we get mean nothing I give them to my kids who pin them on their dolls and pretend they are JFED and Masters!
When they started to yell at the Commanders for upticks in narcotic incidents, they proved they don't have a clue. If you don't arrest someone for dope, there isn't a crime. It's a self generating number, so, no more arrests. Problem solved.
Gery Chico made millions from law firm that lobbies City Hall
CAN I GET A RIBBON FOR EVENT NUMBERS?????
"Is anyone in the media picking up on this at all?"
If you want the media to cover this, write it up in a nice official looking handout and give it to them. It is too much to ask the hairspray set to actually do their job so you have to do it for them!
The Washington Times ripped the Chicago Media an new one last week for their coverage of Rahm and flat out accused them of being on Rahm's side, no exceptions. Did we see that covered here? No handout.
Did you guys see the answers given by Tyrone Carter to the fop mayoral questionnaire??? Lmao I know 6 year olds with better grammar!!
Truer words have not been spoken: WHY do we need to move police from "slow" districts if crime is down?
This only makes sense when you remember that they are not telling the public the truth.
Also, referring to the great arrest by the narcotics team that "on-viewed" the kidnapping, rescued the victim, and arrested four born-in-mexico-cartel-hired-hitmen, why has the media downplayed this report, and why did the boss at OCD say this does not mean that cartels have come to chicago to do kidnappings? anyone with any knowledge knows that this is downplayed because shortshanks does not want it known that chicago is on the path to becoming like the kidnapping capital of the u.s., phoenix, arizona.

We are in the burbs...When I was young I would run around all over Chicago while in High School. I loved the city and wanted to work there. These days I wouldn't dare let my high school kids venture into the city!!!
Thanks J-Fled!! & Short-shanks!!!
P.S. I sure am glad I don't work there either! Stay safe my bros in blue!!
According to Morris J. Clapstaddle esteemed tenured chair of the University of Chicago's College of Urban Studies, "I saw this reduction coming as soon as the Chicago Police Department implemented the outstanding, world renowned, Predictive Crime Analytic Unit." Professor Clapstaddle goes on to question the use of mere mortals in the law enforcement field when this unit has done so much with so little to reduce crime to such insignificant numbers. The professor went on to state, "Why, it's just unbelieveable that there is even a whisper of crime in the city seeing as how the P. A. U. has predicted and prevented so much...I mean even a U. of C. grad student can barely compete with these reduced numbers, and we here at the U. of C. are at the forefront of EVERYTHING!!!" As the professor was leaving this interview, he could be heard reciting the P. A. U.'s motto..." eeny meenie, chili beany. The spirits are about to speak." And dat ain't no hibbity jibbity...mmmm hhmmm
Oh boy!!! Another medal. That is so exciting. Great morale booster. Thank you.
As it looks now we have eclipsed the number of Aggravated Batteries w/ a Handgun this year as compared to all of last year.
October of this year, had almost 60 more shootings than last year.
If those numbers were homicides, J-Fled would look like a goof.
When the tech savvy recruits get here we can all cheer that reported crime is down even more right?
No arrest - no crime
no arrest no crime???? are you really a police officer??? so if someone is killed and nobody is custody its not a crime? wow, maybe you should learn something from one of those tech savvy recruits. its no report, no crime you idiot. go back under your sgts desk at 35th st and stop trying to pretend to know what your talking about
Tell your families to be careful! Yesterday about 1850 a f/2 exiting the brown line was a victim of a brutal CSA, wheres the media coverage and community out pouring for support? m/1 followed her not a lot to go on at this point. be careful out there.
And they want to take police from these tax paying districts and put them in the getto?
Just read the email the department is sending out regarding the change in Illinois laws for next year.
I noticed that the dollar amounts have been raised for retail theft to be upgraded to a felony. Why would this be done? To lower the stat's on felony's in this category????????
What a Pack of Lies.
That's all this City is about, Lie, after Lie, after Lie. What can you expect from a City run by a pack of Criminals. ???
I can't tell that there has been a decline. There have been two residential and one car burglary in the last 2wks in my neighborhood in the same block. Residents wait sooo long for an availible paper car that they just give up on reporting the crime.
These Desk-Jockeys can't get real Medals for catching violent Criminals anymore, so they have to make up stupid Medals for the Pencil-Neck Police in places like H.Q. and under Bosses desks everywhere in Shitcago. It's Political Correctness gone Wild. What a fuckin joke this City has become..
CHA has been shipping the criminal element to the suburbs. As this happens, crime goes down in Chicago and up their the suburbs.
Wies'l and cronies are not the real police and cannot earn their awards the conventional way.
So; they create their own fucked-up awards for any bullshit just to play dress up for the cameras because they cannot and will not fool the REAL police.
Why no ribbon with clusters for hundreds, even more than a thousand Part I felony arrests/convictions?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Because:
A. In my 25 years, I'll bet that there have been no more than a very few who have "hundreds" of part 1 felony arrests and convictions. AND it would take 3.3 of such convictions per month for 25 years to equal one thousand. No way.
B: With today's felony review system, the people who run it and answer the calls, the plea bargains which downgrade part one's to part two's and less, and our sackless states attorneys, no fucking body will ever reach "hundreds" again.
And C: you ain't shittin about the current exempts.
Stay safe out there and RIP CFD.
$ for BS WTF How about supporting the troops
At the rate they're giving away medals, we're gonna look like 3rd world general dictators!
"I am el general!"
Det.s are all sitting in their offices killing crime on the computer and is the 3 guys still in place at the Chief's office killing the homicides
ref: 12/22, 8:22 am....sounds like it's time for another FOIA request, and a trip to a lawyer's office...

Promote him to Commander of the 11th District and you will probably have nothing but praise for the man from then on. The bar has been set mighty low in 011. JA will seem like Merlin the Magician by comparison. And of course he will actually turn the place right around from southbound to back headed north again.
Here's the secret, don't tell anyone:
We pretend to work and the City pretends to pay us.
With all the indictments of officers for making gun pinches etc. there is no way I will lay hands on someone unless they attack me. That will be difficult at 30mph.
I not could believe what they indicted that Officer Swiss for. Unbelievable and a warning to us all. I've done worse to a shithead for stealing DVD's!
That was the way of policing, he stole, he ran, I caught him, he got the boot put to him. Street rules.
Now, they steal, they run, I wave as they go by. No indictment, no CR, no complaint, no IPRA or IAD after me. New self preservation rules. No joke.

Completely agree.
5:27 PM
I don't know about convictions but I do know that John Northen had over 1000 part 1 felony arrests while he was on the job. He will probably deny it but he kept the paperwork stored away in boxes. There's probably a few more guys that always worked high crime districts plus property crimes dicks that have over a 1000 felony arrests for index crimes. It would take at least 20 years to do it averaging about 1 a week.
Those ribbons they give out to everybody for crime reduction and the Democrat convention are meaningless junk. I would be ashamed to wear such garbage awards.
Lets not forget the new award coming out 1 january 2011.
The "Penelope Award for Lack of Leadership"!
SCC your full of crap. If crime isn't down than explain how I heard that a po at HQ with less than six years can change her day off during thanksgiving week so she can be a vender for her organiztion at the ITOA expo and than still take her originally scheduled day off as well. If crime was so bad and manpower was so short the department would move people to the street who aren't needed at HQs.
"Why no ribbon with clusters for hundreds, even more than a thousand Part I felony arrests/convictions?"
Police are only responsible for felony ARRESTS.
States Attorneys are responsible for CONVICTIONS.
For years they've tried to saddle police with the conviction-end, but it ain't our problem!
If they don't charge it/properly put on the case, it's not our issue.
how many death investigations do we have??
how about agg batt with firearm's

Did we shoot ourselves in our own proverbial feet? For the past two to three years, people here and elsewhere have talked about "de-policing" and slowing down the activity. In hindsight, by lowering our activity level, we have actually helped lower the crime statistics, making you-know-who able to report decreases in crime. One way around this is to generate more reports. stop giving a 19P to stuff that can be documented. Example: "shots fired" call. Do a report for reckless discharge. Leave complainant and offenders unknown if they are unknown. Detectives can kill it or suspend but it might make the stats. Give people their B.S. battery, robbery, assault reports. Let's let the people know what we have to do all the time. More RD numbers, less event numbers.
Event numbers don't make the crime statistics, but it helps the bosses with their "allocation of resources." what we need are more UCR coded reports. That's where the numbers are.
'Promote him to Commander of the 11th District and you will probably have nothing but praise for the man from then on. The bar has been set mighty low in 011. JA will seem like Merlin the Magician by comparison. And of course he will actually turn the place right around from southbound to back headed north again.'
Please don't forget that 011 had a decent Cmdr in Eric Washington. Don't forget what happened to him.
If you don't have that CLOUT, you'l soon be OUT, wherever they place an exempt. And let's not forget those clout heavy Detective Division Deputy Chiefs.
Dropped there by J-Fled and not a one of them moved or demoted in the whole 3 years since he's been here. The invisible 'clout army' of exempts, right there.

I am with you on this. I am sure that Northen, Snethen and many others made 1000 arrests, and I tip my cap to all of them. And back in that heyday, States Attorney's actually worked with us, and respected what we did. Not today though. Between SA's and dumb ass juries, it would be impossible.

another frivilous award. great. my wife and kids like all the awards and their pretty colors. An award because I worked election night? Really? I have a hard time wearing a crime reduction award, when some permanant desk jockey (either in the district or at 35th st) gets the same award all the while bitching about the walk-ins and phones they have to answer.
The only reason "crime is down" is because of the new FBI reporting stats, which dont have any resemblance to reality. If we were using true accurate stats, the public outcry would be deafening...
if you work in any specialized unit you should at least have 150 felony arrest a year. so 150 x 8years is 1000. So really 1000 felony arrest in a career is fucking garabage. so if your not the working police stop writing bullshit on this blog.
9:17 AM
Does this mean that if I make a record-breaking over a 1000 part 1 felony arrests, they'll promote me to sarge like Northen and Snethen? WOW! Chevrons.
Then you learn that many brass who will draw double pensions could count their felony pinches on less than 10 fingers. It's all legit, right?
Being a great street cop will get you nowhere in promotions. I wonder what other factors are at work for these gold braid morons getting promoted? Any ideas? What could it be? Brains? No way.
They just keep forcing these idiots like J-Fled and Henny Penny down our throats. Why didn't they make guys like Northen and Snethen brass?
Less than 1 year left and I'm out of Shitcago, Crook County, Illinois in a flash.
10:21 PM
We're talking PART I FELONY ARRESTS. Aside from very active detectives following up on property crimes, what "specialized units" are you talking about? Misdemeanors, pissers, DOPW, parkers are all bullshit. Narcotics and just guns don't count either. PART I FELONIES ONLY.
PART I FELONIES: Murder, Sexual Assault/Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Battery, Burglary, Vehicle Theft, Grand Theft and Arson.
You are talking "fucking garabage(sic)", asshat.
150 times 8 years is 1000. - 10:21 pm
WRONG, math major, try 1200.
Your attitude suggests that you've been on the job for 8 years and think you are supercop. Jealous, trash talker? STFU!
Another medal.... I can't even get my D.C. from 4 years ago. I have it listed in my award achievements, but with a ZERO next to it, slow ass shit! I think they forget about ya but it takes forever to get the "Deserved awards."

What all those felony arrests mean is that the guys they worked for got promoted, not them. That they made Sgt. at all is a testament to their perseverance. They sure didn't get promoted on merit. You think a boss wants to lose a worker like that? Any idiot can be a Sgt, few can make that amount of good arrests.

This was a bad one. Victim got beat bad and assaulted brutally. Details make your head swim and hope for a quick DNA match. Still no warning except for "Lakeview area."
Well, it was Barry & Lakewood area. Be careful. This was at dinnertime in a densely populated area with commuters walking home just a few feet away. Details are nauseating.

Listen up there buddy. I don't know Sgt Northen, but I have heard a lot about him, and all of it good. I DO know Dave Snethen, and he did not make Sgt till he had about 25 yrs on the job. That was 25 years of locking people up, and more importantly, putting them in prison. And for the record, making arrests is not what it's about. It is about putting them away with good cases, testifying the right way and being respected by the ASA's (at least in the old days). I do not know you, or what you do out there, but if you aspire to be a good cop, look no further than the example set by Northen, Snethen and many others.
Be safe out there.
I worked 011 with John Northen when he was new on the job. He was constantly locking up bad guys for index crimes.
What impressed me most was in just 1 tour of duty, he recovered THREE separate unrelated stolen late model Cadillacs, all on view with occupants. We called it his hat trick. He was like an assembly line machine. I think he did it again as a detective at Maxwell St. He had some kind of system with hot VIN numbers nationwide. It worked. Lots of local and foreign steals recovered with arrests. We worked together under Capt. Phil Moss. I'll never forget when he and his partner bailed us out on a 10-1 with shots fired during the riots.
David "Pizza Man" Snethen is a legend.
Let's all enjoy retirement, guys. We paid our dues a long, long time ago. Merry Christmas to all.
