Battery Offender, Harasser, Child Abuser? (UPDATED)

Once again, Henny Penny steps in shit. This has been confirmed via various sources both inside and outside of the Department:
  • Speaking of BOTCHED decisions. Looks like 011 will be getting a new commander rather soon. Fresh off her 30 day suspension, and being named on that Dump list. Seems Henny Penny has gone and stepped in it again...

    Seems that she beat her child and left enough marks that the school called The DCFS HOTLINE. Where is she gonna get locked up this time? A/3?

  • Are the rumors true that Area 3 SVU is investigating a DCFS Hotline complaint of child abuse where "Henny Penny" is the offender? Had to be moved to Area 3 because her former husband is an Area 5 detective.

  • Trahanas is at it again! Today there was a DCFS Hotline complaint filed on her for child abuse on her 16 year old daughter who alleges that previous complaints have gone nowhere because her mother and father are police officers, and her mother is obviously well connected. Her past history of slapping a certain female A5 detective (who sued and won) and cornering and physically intimidating another female detective in A5 (who is now retired) would suggest that where there is smoke, there is fire.....When is the department going to get rid of her??? She is a bad excuse for such a highly placed boss of exempt rank and an embarrassment to this department. Is anyone out there listening??????????
Given her past history of physically attacking people she works with, her history of telephone harassment, and her history of abusing anyone who runs afoul of her massively inept ego, is this really surprising?

Now in the midst of what is looking more and more like the cover-up of a murder by a Daley relative, is the Department really going to stand by a Daley/Reverend double (or triple) merit appointee who beats a child? Will someone somewhere please fire this psycho head case before she brings more discredit and ridicule to the men and women who just want to do their jobs in peace?


UPDATE: Penny Trahanas has resigned from the position of commander. It's about fucking time.

Henny's child if she was a victim of child abuse by her mother should have been taken into Protective Custody and not left in the custody of her mother/offender/abuser/who has the opportunity to commit the crime again either with physical abuse or verbal abuse. This child probably is an on-going victim of Penny and has suffered much mental abuse with her mother's clout and lack of proper investigations to protect her child from further abuse. Retired SVU

ok I slapped my stepson because he was gonna hit his sister someone else hit him at school and popped his eardrum 3 days after I slapped him. he was afraid to snitch because it was a gang banger, wife was told I hit him and at the time it was no big deal, when he went to the Dr. the doc was told he had been slapped by me, DCFS was called and ole lady and step son were led hand and hand through ruining me because of a slap to the cheek, 555 w Harrison and all, cops came to get me I did not even know until they showed up, they were told about my LEGALLY bought loaded hand guns ( my 2nd amendment right) and even though the cops did not want to take my guns they had too, so after getting screwed by my Illinois bar assc. lawyer that the judge made me hire I was told my best offer was guilty with a conditional discharge, I found out later that the lawyer just took the paper from the ASA and never told the true story to the ole lady and the ASA, well the conditional discharge is worse than it sounds, i got a letter from the Illinois State police demanding my FOID stating that if I did not return it that they were gonna come and get it further saying that I was banned for life from owning a gun, now if your Penny is found resonsible for domestic battery, will she be barred from owning a gun also?????

As an SVU Detective, there are many times that a mother, father, caretaker etc, are not placed in custody for physically disciplining their child or teen.

It depends on many various factors including prior arrests for child abuse or domestic battery and the relationship between the victim and offender. Numerous questions are asked. Is this common in the household? Is alcohol involved? What type of behavior did the teen display prior to the abuse occurring? Many teen are disturbingly aggressive towards their parents, and the parents lose control of their emotions.

It is also dependent upon what the arrest would do to the family unit. Will the arrest benefit the family etc? Is the teen or child fearful of their caretaker and why?

Many offenders are apologetic and extremely remorseful for their actions. The willingness of the teen involved to testify against their mother or father comes into play also as does the extent of the injuries. You can not begin to imagine the abuse seen by us on a daily basis and the extent of injuries we see infants, toddlers, children. We do make numerous arrests if the situation warrants.

In many instances, the offenders are sternly warned about the use of excessive physical discipline and or the use of an object for discipline. 99.9% of the time, this warning is adhered to.

So give the dics in area 3 a break. As crazy as it may sound, the case needs to be handled in the same manner as all others of the same nature.

If the allegations posted here are true, they are indeed disturbing. All I could add to this is to wait and see, and don't be so quick to judge.
I once saw a parent come into my station to pick up his teenaged daughter, who had been missing for over a month. I don't know what she said to her dad, but before anyone could stop it, he socked her a good one.
Of course, we had to arrest her father right there in the station. It was a horrible scene, and I understood completely that man's (and his wife's) anguish, worried about this rotten kid who had been out in the street for a month and showed no remorse or respect to her parents when they arrived at the station. I don't know what happened between Penny and her kid, so I'm not going to pre-judge her before an investigation is complete. I also know that Penny grew up with a mother who was very tough on her also, so I'm not surprised about the allegations; these things tend to get passed down in families. Whatever happens, it will work itself out. Just don't gloat too much here about Penny's problems, and thank God it isn't YOUR family business being outed here for the world to see, because we all know some officers who have family difficulties, don't we? We've even see a previous exempt or two demoted over 'family issues.' Thank God it isn't you, and pray for those who are dealing with it.

Well Rahm didn't go after the endorsments from the rev's. He had very few on his side. So it will be interesting to see just how much power they will have under the new administration.

This is the danger when you only kind of know what your doing. As simple as it is, too many cops fuck up their paper because they watch too much TV and they only understand the law by using some run down legal phrases.

For example,
He was cuffed for his protection and my protection.

He was brought to the station "for investigation."

He was held until I could verify his identity.

I stopped him when he was loitering in an area known for narcotics sales and/or gang activity.

All of these phrases are used every day and each and every one of them is completely illegal.

People can only be stopped if there is a reason why you believe they are, have, or will break the law. Loitering in a bad place is no reason to stop someone.

Seeing someone with a gun is a good reason to stop someone, but the minute you realize he did not break the law, you must let him go.

People are either under arrest or they are free to go. Once you move a person from one place to another, they have been arrested.

The thirty minute dope investigation, while you search for the pack is completely illegal.

The arrested asshole cop was definitely the cause of this nonsense, but if you can't legally explain what you are doing, then why the hell are you doing it. The officers couldn't explain why he was brought to the station because there is no legal reason for bringing him to station.

Here is how this should have been handled. They should have let him go when they found his identification. They should have contact carded felon A, B, and C who were with him. They should have called the sergeant to the scene and they should have obtained a CR number for his failure to properly identify himself, for not cooperating with an investigation, and for probably hanging out with felons.

But cops are not satisfied with simply getting a CR number on an ass who fronted them off, so they tried to lock him up and now they're out 15 grand each.

The lesson is to stop trying to dig up arrests in the ghetto through bogus "gang meeting stops.". Stop grabbing dude because you think "he's dirty.". Nobody gives a shit. Of course he's dirty, he lives in the ghetto, he's hanging out with other dirty scoundrels. Who cares?

Just stop people who you see breaking the law, then arrest or ticket them for the law they broke. Search people who are under arrest. Stop one rock patdowns for "loiterers".

All this scrounging around for guns and dope, all the questionable legal positions you put yourself in looking for this shit, all these long searches through garbaged filled lots. Just stop it.

You'll find out over time that it's not only not worth it, it's beneath you.

From the pattern I've seen of "workplace incidents" -- they sometimes come back later -- she should be kept off the grounds and out of that station. I'm not kidding here -- if not her, then who?

She has made her own path -- I'm concerned about everyone else there.

I don't know how you secure a place that has the homeless assigned to the pod room, but it should be done. Her mess can get picked up and straightened out quickly by anyone with any sense, and that will be that.

Not only is she not special, as the commander of a police district she is in the extra-double-triple-should-have-known-better category -- and therefore should be made an example of.

"[This is] expected to result in significant improvements in the estimation of precipitation rates, the ability to discriminate different precipitation types (i.e. rain vs. hail, mixed precipitation types in winter storms), and the identification of non-meteorological returns...for aviation concerns, with polarimetric radar, forecasters will be able to better discern areas of icing and other hazards such as birds. All these improvements will aid forecasters in the warning decision process..."

Where does the "on this job" automatically come from?

Do you mean during incarceration, or after they serve their sentence and are walking around with a felony record so no one will hire them or even rent them an apartment?

This can be a problem. She's got family, though. To start with, they'll send her half a stack to get her set up with gym shoes and sweat suits and her own little color TV, and after that will come the max $50 a week for the commissary so she can have plenty of Slim Jims and sugar buns and hair care products. There'll be no degrading halfway house for her when she gets out, either.

She'll be welcomed with open arms -- discriminated against, victim of a "hit squad," and all that -- and can go back to preaching double-hard, with all that new street cred. Didn't Arenda Troutman have a fortune telling thing, vitamin sales, something like that on the side? Even Carol Moseley-Braun deals in some kind of cosmetics, or tries to.

I would not concern myself. It's her time to do, not yours or mine, and they've got B.E.T. on cable, hot pots, and lots of people to talk to and play cards with all day and all night.

She's in a much better position than many others, who are sleeping on the ground in Tunisia or something.

Retired police officer reported missing

Staff report

6:07 p.m. CST, March 4, 2011

Officials have issued a missing person alert for a retired Chicago police sergeant with severe dementia and cancer.

Eldge Walton, 74, was last seen leaving his home on foot near the 9200 block of South Blackstone at 10:30 a.m. today, police said. He is not driving, according to the alert.

Walton was last seen wearing a Chicago police dress shirt, uniform coat, dark blue police uniform pants and a turquoise sweater under his coat, according to the alert. He was also wearing a blue White Sox knit cap and blue gym shoes.

While officials said he may have also had his retired police star with him, his wife told police that he did not have a weapon, according to the alert.

It was not known if he had identification with him, police said.

Walton is described as African American with a medium complexion, 6-feet tall, 158 pounds, brown eyes and gray hair along with a beard and mustache.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Calumet Area Special Victims Unit at 312-747-8274.

They said they are closing Koschman’s 2004 homicide case without asking the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office to charge anyone because they concluded the punch was thrown in self-defense.

Police reports made public Friday black out the name of the man who detectives concluded threw the lone punch at Koschman. But the descriptions they provided and accounts given by witnesses to the Chicago Sun-Times make clear it was Richard J. “R.J.” Vanecko, a nephew of Mayor Daley and White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley.

So, just what does a former police commander DO on this job?

++++++++++++++++++++

ask Mike Alexander in 022. He stood up to an aldercreature in 003, got dumped back to Lt then made Capt and now has the 3rd watch in 022. He got fucked then, but is better off today.

I just spoke to an 011th dist PO who said that Penny stepped down voluntarily for "Family Reasons" and that there is no "Ccting" CMDR as of yet. In addition there is Rumor that she might Only be taking an Extended Furlough.

Congratulations 011!!! You guys are too good to dealing with such Bullshit!! I say make 11-dub the new commander!!

You mean the bipolar and otherwise mentally unstable Sgt who recently publicly threatened to shoot a police officer in the 11th district station? The Sgt that was kissing Penny's ass, unsuccessfully vying for a merit promotion? The Sgt that got dumped from MSF the same day that he was accepted? He's a nice enough guy about half of the time when he's on his meds. Let's just leave him where he is so that when he does finally snap, it might not make international news.

I've had 2 complaints registered against me in the past year that were malicious and unwarranted by 2 separate CPD bosses. The first one came back unfounded and the 2nd one is a joke and should come back exonerated if things go the right way.


Solution: sue, brother. I did and got a nice settlement from Carroll.

The claim: abuse of the department's disciplinary process.

I'm going to, after the outcome of the pending CR comes down. Any ideas on lawyers? I heard Paul Geiger is good.

What has happened to this department when we sue each other because our feelings are hurt? That detective should go hide in a shell. Don't we have enough problems with the citizens? I am sure the detective was not without fault.

3/04/2011 11:51:00 AM

I know the detective and one of the P.O.'s involved. VH is a very quiet guy. He was in front of his house, talking to some of the guys from the neighborhood. The tact guys see a bunch of Black men and automatically assume there's something illegal going on.

When you approach a situation in high gear, things are gonna go to shit fast. I'm sure harsh words were exchanged, but VH recognized several of the guys and told them he worked in A/4 and sees them almost every day. Maybe he purposely told them he didn't have his ID, just to see how far they'd go. Or, maybe he didn't realize it was in his pocket. Regardless, you can't go into someone's home without a warrant. Since he had a holster on, I'm guessing that looking for his ID wasn't the real reason they wanted to go into his house.

Once they found his ID, this should have been over with. And shame on the tact guys if they didn't find it until after they were in the station...can anyone say "poor search?"

Once in 011, the on-duty SVU sergeant came down to the tact office to verify that VH worked upstairs, but these guys still refused to release him. I believe the WC finally RWOC'd him, but only after being brought into the station, handcuffed, in front of people who knew him!

As someone else said, once his ID is verified, cut him loose, apologize (or not) and deal with it administratively. Shame on them for being too stubborn to end things right there. Instead of VH possibly taking some suspension time, now they all have to pony up $15K. That's an expensive lesson to learn.

Another thing one has to wonder, did it really take 6 people to arrest one person? There was no allegation of brutality, no TRR, nothing. So what do we have hear? Paper jumping. That shit will get you everytime. Remember the guys in 020 years ago?

she grew up in k-town. actualy had a good childhood. her parents were VERY OVER PROTECTIVE of her. She was treated as if she could do no wrong and the earth stopped for her. her second oldest brother would beat her every chance he got out of jealously and not wanting to look after her if her parents werent home. after she joined the departmet she changed. her and ex-husband adopted both children. the teenager when she was 3-4 years old. the teenager does have a history of abuse in her background before penny adopted her. she was made to sleep on the floor in a corner as a young child and suffered physical abuse (beatings). Penny has always felt the need to look down on other people and to attempt to have total command. how ironic.

This is the danger when you only kind of know what your doing. As simple as it is, too many cops fuck up their paper because they watch too much TV and they only understand the law by using some run down legal phrases.

For example,
He was cuffed for his protection and my protection.

He was brought to the station "for investigation."

He was held until I could verify his identity.

I stopped him when he was loitering in an area known for narcotics sales and/or gang activity.

All of these phrases are used every day and each and every one of them is completely illegal.

People can only be stopped if there is a reason why you believe they are, have, or will break the law. Loitering in a bad place is no reason to stop someone.

Seeing someone with a gun is a good reason to stop someone, but the minute you realize he did not break the law, you must let him go.

People are either under arrest or they are free to go. Once you move a person from one place to another, they have been arrested.

The thirty minute dope investigation, while you search for the pack is completely illegal.

The arrested asshole cop was definitely the cause of this nonsense, but if you can't legally explain what you are doing, then why the hell are you doing it. The officers couldn't explain why he was brought to the station because there is no legal reason for bringing him to station.

Here is how this should have been handled. They should have let him go when they found his identification. They should have contact carded felon A, B, and C who were with him. They should have called the sergeant to the scene and they should have obtained a CR number for his failure to properly identify himself, for not cooperating with an investigation, and for probably hanging out with felons.

But cops are not satisfied with simply getting a CR number on an ass who fronted them off, so they tried to lock him up and now they're out 15 grand each.

The lesson is to stop trying to dig up arrests in the ghetto through bogus "gang meeting stops.". Stop grabbing dude because you think "he's dirty.". Nobody gives a shit. Of course he's dirty, he lives in the ghetto, he's hanging out with other dirty scoundrels. Who cares?

Just stop people who you see breaking the law, then arrest or ticket them for the law they broke. Search people who are under arrest. Stop one rock patdowns for "loiterers".

All this scrounging around for guns and dope, all the questionable legal positions you put yourself in looking for this shit, all these long searches through garbaged filled lots. Just stop it.

You'll find out over time that it's not only not worth it, it's beneath you.

3/04/2011 12:28:00 PM

SCC, you should put this post up in BOLD-Fucking-FACE print. These coppers were up against a smarter, more seasoned, adversary. Even the dumbest dick can usually present himself as more credible than a ghetto-warrior copper who's made so so many dope pinches. Think about it, YOU are only experienced in prima facie felonies...your scope is very limited. That goes for all the tact robocops that love to pat themselves on the back after a shit arrest or search warrant with the *wink wink* located contraband. STOP reaching! If it's a good case, don't add shit to it! If it's a shit case, learn to be more credible *wink wink*! DO NOT be afraid or TOO proud to admit you know SHIT! Stop, ask and heed advice from a smarter, more seasoned copper.

Harrison Police District Commander Steps Down

11:42 p.m. CST, March 4, 2011

"A Chicago police commander relinquished her post Friday amid an investigation into her conduct, officials said.

Penelope Trahanas, who was the commander of the Harrison police district on the West Side, will return to her rank of captain.

"Her move comes during an open investigation by the Independent Police Review Authority, an agency that probes allegations of misconduct by Chicago police officers.

"Neither police nor the IPRA would say what she’s accused of, but she will remain on active duty, according to a law enforcement source.

"Trahanas also was charged last May with misdemeanor telephone harassment of her ex-boyfriend, also a Chicago officer, and had been relieved of her police powers temporarily pending internal reviews. The former boyfriend, Matthew Jackson, filed an order of protection against Trahanas.

"The protection order was later dropped and she was eventually acquitted of the harassment charge, and reinstated as the Harrison district commander.

"She could not be reached for comment late Friday."

I am an officer and I once went into 005 off-duty to make a report and was threatened with arrest because I asked the female officer taking the report why she was so rude.

Before I was on the job, an officer tried to arrest me after I flagged him down after I locked my keys in the car.

Several months ago, a junior officer told me that the reason he locked someone up, was because if the police showed up, "someone was going to jail".

The culture of false arrest is not as pervasive as it used to be, but if you think it does not still exist, you are fooling yourselves.

Hmmm! The allegations are out there already.

CR investigation, riding on the DCFS charges should be sustained.

A recommendation for Separation should follow. Especially considering her past disciplinary history. Supt signs off, and buh bye.

While she is sitting in the call back unit, of course.

This is seriously the best advice ever given that most coppers under 35 will completely ignore.

I look back at my early years and think of the risks I took to bring in a head every night. I am lucky nothing serious ever happened to me. My whole outlook on this job changed when I got a little older and had kids of my own.

Overtime doesn't mean much if you end up paying it back punitively.
