Hillard to Visit Districts
- Interim Chicago Police Superintendent Terry Hillard told police officers at a roll call gathering today in the Pullman neighborhood to focus on their duties and said he planned to visit every police district in the future.
Hillard was appointed by Mayor Richard Daley Wednesday to the interim post after former Supt. Jody Weis' contract expired and told officers at the gathering at 119th and Halsted Streets that it felt great to be back on the streets.
Hillard denies wanting the top spot under a Rahm administration, and he's supposedly told exempt staff that there will be no major movement during his tenure. We aren't sure why he's visiting all the districts unless it's a kind of nostalgia tour.

Whats he visiting for? Will he stop by on my watch~midnights?! Doubt it!
Hey "T", How about when you go around to all those disticts, units and areas, take a look around, not only are we down P.O.'s, but we are short to shit on Detectives and Sgts. as well, how about convincing Daley to push a class through before Rahmulus gets in and tears down all the lists!!? Thanks bud!
one big move in 008 that happened is that G. Fillipo was dumped from his inside position. This is a shocking move considering the influence from the previous administration. I heard that he ruffled one two many feathers in 008 and pissed off alot of people. I also heard, that female with 4 years on initials M.A. had him dumped because he was not cooperating with her by keeping her on the desk. Word around is that she had her uncle captain A. make a call downtown to have him removed. Will we ever get the true story? Now, I hear he is crying to anyone that will listen but nobody is helping. Could this move have anything to do with a new supt? We need answers because this is a huge move that has political ramifications within the department.
...and as I mentioned about the shot of the troops lined up for today's roll call -- Crown caps, stars visible, chins up.
Looks kind of like a police department all of a sudden!
Why is he touring districts? Because he's the police, and he knows it's the right thing to do.
Shocker, isn't it? Considering the way we've been treated the past three years.
Remember when he made sup initially , came to 009 and thought wow this guy cares. He came after Rodriguez ... Well that first time was last time he ever came to 009 or did anything memorable.... Meet new boss same as old boss
What's does this say about the rest of the rank and file of CPD that not one of the top brass was selected to take over until the new Mayor names his person???
Also, I thought CPD had to retire at the age of 63??? Bring Jack Townsend out from the dead!
Get someone New! Let a new leader to put his/her mark on the department. Promote Sergeants and Dicks off the current list! Don't recycle the same goofs!
Bringing Hillard back means INCOMPITENCE of the current command staff!

now that you've vented your spleen, do ya feel better?
THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!
Joe Curtin's ghost will be acting as interim Commander of 011!!
Not one of our over promoted merit inflated gold stars have what it takes to change this department and the politics of it. I hope the new mayor does what he says and chooses the best candidate and if its from within the ranks make sure they:
Been on the job at least 25 years
Working police with activity to prove it
Passed all exams, including lieutenant
That should narrow it down to about 4
candidates.
He wants to remind the guys and gals what the real Police looks like!
Hey Mr. Mayor- Elect here is a way to save a great deal of money.
Get rid of all exempt ranks. The highest rank needed aside from Supt. and Deputy Superintendent is Lieutenant.
Currently we have several sergeants that are acting as Commanders. Why then do we waste money creating positions that can be filled by Sgts. or Lieutenants. Not only can it be done easily as exempt members serve at the leisure of the Supt. It will also remove some of the burden put on our pension fund. For the current Captains, utilize them until they are all gone and make no more Captains after that.
The over inflated salaries of exempt ranks are costing the city in a time of need and draining our pension funds, it has to stop. Lets face it Lt's pay and a company car is still a pretty good deal. Their EGO's will survive this.
Hopefully Rahm will take notice and promote from within the ranks.
Hope he comes to 177 to see how dirty our processing area is, and how the CO got this place screwed up and people pulling the pin to get out of here.
It didn't take jackson's recently dumped admin. Lieut. Long to creep back into his old spot.
Rahm is George Soros' beyootch. The new sup will be Rahm's beyootch. Count on it.

Stop your Soap Opera dramaqueen bullshit! A PO getting moved from a desk spot in a District will hardly send political shockwaves through the Department.

Those were PPOs who just graduated. You must be a merit dick with those keen powers of observation.
This phoney-baloney started the same thing when he was first Superintendent. He made a big thing aout of visiting a couple of districts, and then the whole idea just kind of faded away. He is a first class bullshitter with very few claims to fame. A bad interim choice that makes you wonder exactly why he was put there in Dalet's final hours.
He's visiting because he's a hands on kind of guy. He'll check everything out for himself, that way he never sounds like an asshole when he says what a situation is because someone told him the wrong info.
The morale is SO BAD they knew they couldn't possibly use any of J'Fleds promotees or administration. Good move by anyone who turned him down.
Supt Hillard did this when he first made supt at at time when it seemed the dept didn't give a crap about patrol people. It was classy then and still is. I made Sgt under his watch in a class of 300+ so those of you too young to remember or weren't otj- STFU, sit back and enjoy the view.
Do you guys even get that he's only "interim" Sup for 2 months? He's visiting districts that he shouldn't care about-hell which one of you would come back and do that?? You'd have your feet on the desk picking your noses. Get real and start thinking ahead to what's coming.
Pathetic department and city. You don't bring a general out of retirement to lead troops into war. Sends the wrong message.

--Your speculations are B.S.!
one last tour...."hey, I used to be somebody!"
the first thing he should do is stop with all the mission bullshit--- the air is being tied up to much by bozos asking for event numbers all night long---- notice how rahmbo is pressuring daley to name a new head to both the police dept and the board of ed before he takes office--- this gives him an out if they are a fuck up and he can point the finger at someone else---- this qualifies as leadership #$%^-- he will soon be presiding over one of the largest cities in america with one of the largest police departments and public education systems and he wants someone else to pick the top guy--- mind boggling....
Apparently not one of our Exempts, (Political over-promoted hacks) has the intelligence to run the CPD for 2/3 months. Nice going Shortshanks, you bankrupted the city, out pension fund, and saddled us with a miserable collection of morons with gold stars.
Say at 35th street or go home
how about putting on a gun belt and grabbing a set of car keys and hit the street
Terry please dump that idiot commander in the 11th district.
Who cares?????
How could any half way intelligent police officer on the job think that this means anything. The man is a figurehead until May when the new Mayor will make the Supt.
Amazing how you guys either forget or have no time on the job to remember that Hillard did absolutely nothing for the Patrol Division except throw many good officers under the bus with 30 days pending.
How is it that Penny gets to come back to work? Seems to me that when these types of allegations have been made against p.o.'s IAD comes out and pulls their police powers until the court case is over.

Those are new recruits. Do not get your hopes up. Soon, the FTO's will break them down and teach them the ways of the street.
"We aren't sure why he's visiting all the districts unless it's a kind of nostalgia tour."
I think you'd agree that it's a "troubled department." He's trying to buck it up. Heard on WBBM radio just now that "he's going to try to get a lot done in his 10 weeks," and that he went out to West Pullman to speak about the need to apprehend a serial sexual predator who's been working out there.
Weis gone, Daley going, Penelope Jones-Whatever gone/going -- quit bein' whiners. (grin)

clearly your the type of person who cannot recognize sarcasm... Im pretty sure it was laid on very thick.... lighten up francis, its called an inside joke! Now go take your attitude and tell all the p.p.o's on the watch how you use to be the REAL POLICE and see if they can teach you to have a sense of humor.
the first thing he should do is stop with all the mission bullshit--- the air is being tied up to much by bozos asking for event numbers all night long---- notice how rahmbo is pressuring daley to name a new head to both the police dept and the board of ed before he takes office--- this gives him an out if they are a fuck up and he can point the finger at someone else---- this qualifies as leadership #$%^-- he will soon be presiding over one of the largest cities in america with one of the largest police departments and public education systems and he wants someone else to pick the top guy--- mind boggling..
so you call the coppers that are on the air getting the numbers bozos??? hmm, i guess when you are ordered to do something you just dont do it. Its not the troops fault for getting the event numbers, they are ordered to get them because that is part of thier job... just like im sure part or all of your job is to hide like a little girl in the hole all day and to avoid any and all work you can while saddling all of your fellow officers with your work... but yes, they are the bozos
how about putting on a gun belt and grabbing a set of car keys and hit the street

Right. Because that would accomplish so much.
HIS job is to be an administrator. OURS is to strap on the gunbelt and hit the streets.

truer words were never spoken. Jackson, Cuello, Peterson, Brown, Murphy, Georges, Kirby, Daly and others need to be swept out the door, and the sooner the better. And yes, you are correct in your assessment that Daley is the fall guy for all of these bums being in positions of power. Emanuel, the best tool you can come into City Hall with directly after your swearing in will come from the lawn tools dept. at Home Depot. And don't forget the 30 gallon trash container!

Although I never met TH, there is no way you can say he is the same as JW
OFF TOPIC: RIP Detective Ed Farley. A true gentleman & a trusted & respected teammate.
@ 02:51:00 PM...
What FTO's? :)
Every five to ten years the dept. makes noise about "We realize how important field training is, we're beefing up the fto program, blah-blah. FTO's will rotate as homeroom instructors blah-blah. High performance FTO's will have an inside track on promotion to sergeant, blah-blah."
*crickets*
Not a slam... Just an observation...
Maybe he will go to 376 and see all the POW's that where strip with a rubber stamp and no word yet from IAD or IPRA. Hang in there officers hopefully you will be back out here with us.

I agree with you. The FTO program is in shambles. All the bullshit promises and lies. They cannot assign new recruits to street duties because there are a serious lack of qualified FTO's. How embarassing! Weiss completely ignored the FTO program for years.
Big news in 008?thats big news that gf got dumped for being ws 2 days a week?I know MA,I doubt she has anything to do with what happened to gf,maybe the WC just didn't like him,btw who gives a shit
He should have somoeone review all thoise 30 cases that jfled signed off on just before he left. Hopefully all you guys/gals in 376 will have someone with some sense put a stop to the pow torture..
2,3,4 years at callback.. WTF...

Don't know what video you saw, I saw ball caps , knit caps vest covers, fleece jackets, cordura jackets, ill fitting uniforms, what a motley crew & These were Recruits??
If Hillard is out visiting districts he can't be bothered by all the suckholes down at 35th street begging for favors.
He's no fool.
It didn't take jackson's recently dumped admin. Lieut. Long to creep back into his old spot.
No because it was the right thing to do. He along with many other Lt's have been black balled by the possum head for supporting Lt Andrews. We were right to support him. By the way he did not creep in, the way the Possum head dumped him was a sneak by notifying JJ in an e-mail after he was already dumped. I dont see a problem here so go follow your hero the possum head loser.
8 years today since the passing of John Thomas. RIP and watch over us.
Hillard is going to do just what Masters tells him to do. No different than Jodie, the Democratic party is still running the show.

Much of the current command staff may be incompetent, but Hillard s here only as a place keeper.
Since Jody wouldn't stay on, Daley needed a temporary caretaker. He couldn't bring in another outsider and to give it to someone on the inside would be giving the inside track to a decision the new mayor should make. Hillard, a former insider, well respected is a good choice in this respect.
Now let them start the "national search" for the new superintendent.

Well now, what's up? Does Terry's pension stop while he's back on the payroll? Will he get another pension? Just askin'.
.....Whats he visiting for? Will he stop by on my watch~midnights?!.....
The price of Coffee is skyrocketing, every visit is a cup of free coffee for him, and maybe some of the desk crews hidden food in the back (the lockups are known for giving out free bologna to exempts)!
It's every retiree's dream, free food and drinks!

Oh come on, are we that uninformed. You can't get a police pension for working 2 or 3 or 4 months, just like you cna't get one for working 3 years (JPW). Read the pension by-laws before you ask something. Learning how to find the answer is a great skill. Try it sometime.
So is Masters gone or what?
Masters told not to go on street anymore and keep his weapon at home. YOU are not the POLICE !! TH was informed but, hadn't consented yet. In order not to embarass RD he went along. Don't care what everyone else says . This is one of the GREATEST one's we've had.
20 year + vet.
