Um, Info Please?
- North Side detectives are warning businesses in the city’s Near North Police District about burglaries that resulted in many “expensive items” being stolen from three high-end retailers in the last two weeks.
However, while police are asking for the public's help in the investigations, police would not release locations, exact dates or times of the burglaries.
Evidently, the detectives wanted to release the locations, dates and times, but they were all afraid to access the reports that had the information available to them. The newest policy seems to be the following:
- respond to crime;
- write a report;
- send report to supervisor for signature (electronic or paper);
- bury the report in the decorative shrubbery around the Area Centers in the hopes that someone spontaneously confesses on video and the State's Attorney can then deny charges in a few years.
The Department is getting as bad as the media in not broadcasting the descriptions of criminals terrorizing city businesses and citizens.

The burglarys were not mentioned in roll call and I work in the 18th district they didnt even tell the cops in the district.
OK, this has gotten so stupid that someone needs to do something already. There just must be ONE fucking boss that has a spine and a sense of decency who will step up and do the right thing.
On the plus side of all this.... I have more arrests on signed complaints for a 1330 than anyone else in the District this year!!! Parking spot for Officer of the Month coming my way baby!
This sounds like something Sgt. Froggy in Area One RBT would do.
MO:
Wait until you're ready to leave, send off a vague news alert with no RD#'s, contact News Affairs and then tell them if they have any questions contact the oncoming watch because he's leaving.
Ten minutes after he's gone News Affairs calls and wants to know who's going to do the interview with Channel X because their at the District 2 desk waiting.
Thanks Frog, you goof. You'll get the LT promotion soon enough.
1.respond to crime;
2.write a report;
3.send report to supervisor for signature (electronic or paper);
4.bury the report in the decorative shrubbery around the Area Centers in the hopes that someone spontaneously confesses on video and the State's Attorney can then deny charges in a few years.
DAMN SCC, you just stated what EVERY COP needs to be doing right about now.
Any more and you risk getting "Cozzied" or "Howard'" into the joint. Do the absolute minimum.
Wellll. Don't you see?
If you file crime reports into an electronic circular bin of sorts that no-one is allowed to access and if they do are reprimanded -- than it becomes so easy to report that crime is down.
Oh and meanwhile in Arizona, a bill passes the senate by a margin of 28 in favor and 2 against regarding foreclosure fraud -- then the bill just disappears.. check that out!!

On a side note we've seen that the Cook County Sheriff has been on CNN talking about Mortgage Banker fraud and has begun an investigation.
We wish him luck if he's being earnest.
However Washington and banker lobbyist money are working overtime against you -- as you can see just like in any third world corrupt government.
All is lost. All is lost. A broken machine are we. We have been thought by are master to hate one another. We are quicker to give someone eles a break. A police officer is held to a higher standard then a superior being. I feel like I have been beaten down by the establishment called supervisors. They have so many who are promoted way beyond there means. I feel up beat but look the other way while off-duty and try to give the best service on my jobs and that's it. After 14 years I don't care anymore about this city or crime. This has become like a Vet-Nam. I wish we could just pull out and go home. I will not stick my neck out for anyone.

Little growth in home prices: Analysis by ZIP code shows mostly slipping values

why would the public need information or us for that matter. to look out for possible crimes or criminals? ppppp-lease. nothing to see here, please move along.
For god sake, whatever anyone does, do NOT access those police reports on the department's computer system!
You might get disciplined for looking at super secret crime reports and you might commit the most unpardonable sin of letting the public know the truth!
The public can't handle the truth!
You wouldn't want people to know how out of control the situation really is downtown with gangs of roving black youth terrorizing businesses and pedestrians almost daily.
What do you think we have here, a transparent democracy! Hell no! We have a Daley ruled government!
We won't be having any truth spreading, no no, that will not do.
Wilding Gone Wild !
If we tell ya, we gotta kill ya.
Area 3... The home of Ultra Political Correctness.
... police would not release locations, exact dates or times of the burglaries.
***********************************
Pssst! They don't want to say because it might be embarrassing that this could be happening while the overworked and undermanned Chicago Police Department was TOTALLY UNABLE to combat it or prevent it!
How sad.
I know where!
I know!
I know!
Why wouldn't you release the locations?
Back in about 1981 or so, there were a series of overnight window crash burglaries along Michigan Avenue... high end jewelry and electronics stores. After about the third or fourth highly publicized incident, the Greater Michigan Avenue Retailers Association called the Mayor's office to complain. Twenty four hours later, there was a new midnight Tac team in 018 called the Michigan Avenue Detail.
The burglars were caught and Michigan Avenue WAS NOT the place for any shithead to be since the only purpose of the Detail was to protect Michigan Avenue. They were locking up anything on the street that moved and as those smash and grabs were isolated incidents, soon the team was allowed to expand their turf to the west to Clark Street. Eventually they went anywhere that an arrest could be found. That team was very productive and with the nightlife in the Rush Street area etc. there was always criminal activity to chase down.
Amazing what can be done when you have enough manpower around to do them.
Beat car response!
1. Do report
2. Make Notifications
3. Give RD number to victim
4. Go get coffee and forget about it ever happened!
No follow up necessary! The new way of policing in Chicago!
Da Pelon
They haven't been releasing the details of the downtown wildings, why does this surprise anyone?
kind of sounds like some of the roll calls lately--- we are down on movers and parkers and log on to e training and do module 6 today--- then on the way out the door you run into one of the tac guys who asks if you have seen the report for the homicide on the first watch--- stunned, you reply no, we just had roll call and nothing was mentioned about it--- but we are definitely on the hunt for those movers and parkers....
The liberals of our society make it quite clear with every move. They do not want any of us to do what has been traditionally known as police work. They desire no societal law enforcement or lawful punishment for unlawful acts. They want us to merely be an inanimate barrier or wall between them and bad people, but they do not understand that the savage or hoard will not be merely contained. The savage has a thirst for new victims and a mere wall will never be high enough to defeat them.
We must be the laughingstock of the nation.
---not a cop
This department has been an embarrassment for a long time now. What a mess they created SPARING 1300 people. What a waste of paper, time, and money all for NOTHING!!! Now, of course, many will be scared to do anything, wondering what petty shit the department will come after them for.
Yeah, I know how the system works. The dets. told me to go check all the area pawn shops and look for the stuff that was taken in a burglary at my home. Then the dets. had the gall to say I was just reporting the burglary for insurance money..
"Roving bands of Amish youth." LOL
Northwestern University police issued a crime alert Sunday night warning students of an attempted robbery near the school's downtown campus.
About 8:40 p.m. Sunday, a female student was walking on the 300 block of East Chicago Avenue when a teenage boy approached her while she was waiting to cross the street near the fieldhouse of Lake Shore Park.
He pushed her backward and demanded money and her cell phone. A second teen, who had been walking ahead of her, stopped, turned around and stood in front of her, police said. Soon after, two joggers approached and both of the suspects fled.
One of the suspects was described as a white male, about 16 to 17 years old with a thin build and a buzz-cut hair style. Police said he was about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a dark sweatshirt.
The second suspect was described as a black male, between 16 to 17, with a buzz-cut hairstyle. Police said he had a husky build and was about 190 to 200 pounds. He also was wearing blue jeans and a dark sweatshirt.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact Northwestern University Police at 312-503-3256.

Why is it that a college police dept. gives out more detailed information than the CPD is allowed to?
The floggings will continue until morale improves!
I predict:
criminal case falls apart, boyz separated for administrative violations, sue the city and get back on.
They beat this same beef twice before and the only beat down is going to be those that looked at the GOCR. Nice priorities!
There are some aldercreatures that do not want crime statistics and crime locations to be discussed when it comes to their wards. It can hurt business and rentals. The same goes for ma ny suburbs. The mayors just donot want these things talked about. Go into some of these suburban police stations and ask them for crime statistics and locations of crime for their town and they will tell you "No", file a freedom of information request and then you will wait a long time.
A new street sign for Chicago Ave.......79th St.
no locations, no dates, no times, no suspects' descriptions (if available)....Mr. Public, can you help?
There amy be another "Mutiny on the Bounty" with all the Captain Blys running around. or a "Caine Mutiny" remember Captain Queeg.
Since the department has gone into stealth mode on crime info and prefers to busy itself with internal nonsense, there is a need for a repository of crime information that can be viewed by PO's without penalty and keep the citizenry informed. SCC is clearly that forum. Post criminal happenings in the tourist area and the home front and embarrass the department into action.
Commissioner John Fritchey owes over $24,000 for property taxes...
Let's see, he makes 85K a year and bought a 435K home? And he wonders why he can't afford it? What an asshole.
The Tac team has been arresting panhandlers and public drinkers regarding this. They're making a difference.
I work at one of the museums part time and when tourists ask me how to get to the "Magnificent Mile" because they want to see the Water Tower or other attractions, I always warn them about what is really going on. They are shocked but thankful. They sometimes ask why is the nonsense allowed to happen and I just tell them - that is what it is like under democrat rule.
"The Department is getting as bad as the media..."
Oh the media totally sucks.
Take a look at how they REPORT that Chicago has the highest gas prices in the nation, but that's where it ends.
They don't even bother to ask or to tell the sheeple WHY we have the highest gas prices in the nation.
It's because of those we've elected; we have the highest gas TAXES in the nation.

Once again proof that J-Feds legacy will effect the CPD for years, if not a decade with all the former exempt staff that he got rid of and replaced with "yes" people. Common sense is dead in the exempt ranks and in much of patrol.
Im surprised to hear the City would cover up crime. I do not believe it for a second.
I think after roll-call, I'll head over to NWestern University's security office and attend their roll-call so I know what to look out for during my shift.
By the way, it was DePaul's security who was putting out a lookout just LAST week about the flash wildings around Chicago & State at the McDonalds. Maybe we should carry a scanner tuned in to their frequencies so we know whats going on!
Speaking of detectives, when the hell are they gonna start promoting off the list again? It's been almost 4 years since the last class? They have got to be short in the detective division right? I came on this job with a promise from the city for a chance for advancement. Sounds like false advertisement to me.
One of the burglaries was on 001st district's side. $85,000 worth of weave stolen from a chinaman store on Roosevelt by the Dan Ryan. True story.
Each time you want to access data warehouse or clear, write a to-from report to watch commander/district commander to verify that you have permission to access. This will keep them busy. Check and see how many supervisors have been sparred. If all persons involved have not received same punishment, grieve and possibly sue. How can you punish a few and have no investigation. What about progressive punishment. I think the department may have violated our civil rights for equal justice.
It's not practical to inform every officer of crimes occurring.
Sound familiar?
Michigan ave burglary team on midnights would also Cover up the gun and follow the ass hole until he stole something. Sometimes catch him breaking into cars, robbing the white hen at Lincoln and Webster. (good job). I/f. Former 018th dist 82-87.
Socialist Leadership has taken over the CPD, thanks to the Democommiecrat Party. CPD has become a politically correct political tool first, and a police agency second.
SCC,
Please tell me that you noticed we were losing Brett Goldstein to the Mayor's new administration.
He is now the Chief Data Officer.

Mayor Daley Invites Chicagoans to Final Open House Before Leaving Office
Rachel Krech – Sat Apr 23, 12:06 pm ET
"Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is currently the city's longest serving mayor. However, after 22 years and six inaugurations, Daley is stepping down on May 16 to make way for mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel, who won the mayoral election on Feb. 22. But before Mayor Daley leaves office he is holding one more event as a way to thank Chicagoans.
"From 1 to 4 p.m., Chicago residents can head to Chicago City Hall at 121 N. LaSalle Street to attend Daley's final open house. Daley will personally welcome visitors, just like he has at each open house he has held after his inaugurations in the past. This time, Daley will be thanking and saying goodbye to Chicagoans."

A reader comments --
"Excellent writing Rachel, I mean really. For those of you that want to know the date, it's May 9th. Proofread much?"

By the way, this will also be one of the city's last turn-ins, a town clean-up of the dangerous obstructions left by the Daley adinistration. Bring in a rubber speed bump from your alley, or at least six feet of useless black metal fencing, and you'll receive a high-quality, carefully inspected city-confiscated firearm in return.

Despite the fact that this is where the tourists and "190 North" crowd hang out, they are left stunningly unprotected, at the mercy of any 70 wilding teenagers who can hop a CTA turnstile and head for the Loop. There have even been thefts of patient's and staff's belongings inside Northwestern Memorial.
We are seeing mob violence. We need K-9s down there, and shotguns, and buses ready for mass arrests. We will not get them.
Wait until some Dowager Empress gets hammered to death in her Astor Street condo. Daley will be safely gone by then, relaxing in soft clothes over on his private beach in Michigan, running Obama's re-election campaign on the phone.
Wait just a second! I work in 018, I lock up juveniles all the time for criminal trespass and homeless people for aggressive panhandling. Why wasn't I told about this? I would have had meetings with the CAPS office, told the W/C and the SGT's about my work. Then if I made a pinch (or didn't) close to this, I would have jumped on the paper and said "I was working with the AREA on this one."

That's not true 018! This info was passed on at roll call about Michigan ave. Getting hit... 018 on 1st watch is so low on man power there are only 5 cars that are up. With all the bar fights, Marshall Field Gardens, Roll Houses, and other bull-shit we don't have time to patrol Michigan ave.
Murder/suicide, 20 arrests, plus Bar Fights/Disturbances in 018 over the weekend. May not be as much compared to other fast dist's, but when you have only a few cars available it can be a night mare.
OT. Brett Goldstein is the next Huberman. Will now be the Chief Data Officer with the City of Shitcago under the ballerina. It's all fucking legit. Glad to see fucking nothing will change in Shitcago.
There have been Det's at 018 almost everyday. Area 3 had moved into the district.
018 was invaded by the south side A.A's that came in on the Red Line train on Chicago Ave and State St.
The M/0 is to cause a riot at the McDonald's on Chicago Ave while the others go to Michigan ave. While everyone in 018 is trying to stop around 75 A.A's from running wild, nobody can respond to the burglar calls on Michigan Ave.

How corporations beat Chicago Taxes.
--clip via capitolfax.com--
...
Some big Chicago-area retailers have found a way to avoid paying high local sales taxes on their wholesale purchases. They’ve essentially set up their own “tax havens” in downstate counties that have no local sales taxes. The havens mostly are just one-person offices with a fax machine.
The retailers contract to purchase mass quantities of fuel or construction equipment or lumber or whatever, and then those contracts are faxed to their little downstate offices, stamped as received and then faxed back to headquarters and — voilà — no local sales taxes are owed.
In January, the Illinois Department of Revenue lost a court case filed by Hartney Fuel Oil Co., Putnam County and the town of Mark, Ill. (population 500).
Hartney is based in Cook County but had a “sales office” in no-tax Mark. The Department of Revenue claimed that Hartney owed sales taxes in Cook County, but a Putnam County judge disagreed.
Nobody really noticed. But then some folks got the bright idea of introducing a bill at the Statehouse to codify the downstate court case to make certain that all Chicago-area companies had the same option.
Bad move.... ?

Well what's so bad about the move.
If you nail the businesses they will just move out that's all.
Meanwhile what happened to we are all in this together krap?
The politicians create an illusion that taxes have been raised for everyone -- but it's only a smoke and mirror game with tax breaks and give backs that cheat our taxpayers, our pensions and the ability to pay for alderman's and X-mayors personal 24/7 Praetorian security forces.
No criminal charges now -- remember these are companies that create the so-called much needed jobs. So just let them off with a plea deal and a hand slap while neither admitting or denying the charges and a promise to not do it again.
Hey SCC why don't we report that stuff right here on the blog instead of bitching about it. Its a safety issue for all of us.

Jeez, I mean, that was the Chicago Fire. Can we get a little more specific?

In the meantime, they just reported full details and showed the business's (not city pod) videotape of a burglary being done at a hair-care supplies place on West Roosevelt Road. Back door looked like something from a junkyard it'd been pried so many times, really ridiculous, like everything else in these areas it's like there's bears trying to get in all the time.
Guys loaded up a van, didn't even touch the cash register. They took $80,000 worth of packages of cosmetic human hair, which poor people need to buy.

I know of at least two people in this department who are by far, viewed by people in the IT industry, as two of the smartest around. Neither clout. One a sgt. by testing, one a det. by testing. Both with street experience. Could make Goldstein cry like a sissy if they called him out.

Um, if this guy is so golden, why did he join the police dept.? Anybody know anything about his application or hiring process? Sounds like the fix was in from the get-go. Seriously, if you were THAT much of a golden child, wouldn't the private industry be knocking/breaking down your door to hire you?
My guess is he's a mediocre talent at best, and just like Booberman, will be passed around to agency after agency.
Seriously...if you were that smart, and in that much demand, and could command a much, much higher salary in the private sector, why in the world would you join the CPD?

I will have 25 years on this year.
I don't recognize this department.1500 were hired in '86. Less than half of us are left. When we came on we were shown the ropes by real policemen, who were ALLOWED to be the police.
You young guys/gals would be well-served to pay attention to the 'revolver police.' Because when we are gone, you will have no one to learn from. I'm STILL learning from the guys with 30 years on.
I feel sorry for you guys with a lot of time to go, because working conditions for you will only get worse.
Take advantage of the free tuition. Finish up your degree, get a masters or a law degree. They're not going to be giving any raises, so reap the benefits you can. St. X has all kinds of classes at the police academy. I just got my MBA. Cost to me if I paid myself, around $34K. Took me two years. They also have a special certificate for 'Fraud Investigation.'
Have a plan 'B'.
I don't get why this isn't getting more coverage. The only coverage this gets is after they close the McDonalds on Chicago and State? And how is it that the stores aren't complaining like they used to? Half of the employees in stores on Michigan don't even know about all the flash mob hits going on right next door to them.

SCC,
Please tell me that you noticed we were losing Brett Goldstein to the Mayor's new administration.
He is now the Chief Data Officer.

Hahahahahahahahaha!
Good riddance! And, wait til he tries to bullshit Rahm with some fancy tapdance and no facts. His ass is gonna be SO on the street once Rahm can't get a straight answer out of him.
The politicians create an illusion that taxes have been raised for everyone -- but it's only a smoke and mirror game with tax breaks and give backs that cheat our taxpayers, our pensions and the ability to pay for alderman's and X-mayors personal 24/7 Praetorian security forces.
No criminal charges now -- remember these are companies that create the so-called much needed jobs. So just let them off with a plea deal and a hand slap while neither admitting or denying the charges and a promise to not do it again.

You don't get it, do you? Chicago's stupid tax rate is forcing businesses to DO business elsewhere.
Instead of maintaining two offices, the businesses will just close down the Chicago office entirely now. And so the decline continues.

Speaking of detectives, when the hell are they gonna start promoting off the list again? It's been almost 4 years since the last class? They have got to be short in the detective division right? I came on this job with a promise from the city for a chance for advancement. Sounds like false advertisement to me.

You have a chance...slim to none.
Thanks for playing.
4/25/2011 10:12:00 PM
Just another reason why less and less officers care about anything anymore and the list goes on. If you have less than six years on this department you haven't even gotten to take a promotional exam let alone get promoted. This has to be the worst run department in the entire fucking nation.
With all the bar fights, Marshall Field Gardens, Roll Houses, and other bull-shit we don't have time to patrol Michigan ave.

If you say it fast, it sounds like "rowhouse". Could it be that someone who WORKS in 018 doesn't know he's responding to calls in rowhouses?
Um, 018th district ranger, that translates to houses lined up in a row. Don't embarrass us with 'roll houses' again, okay?
Where is SHIELDS? Well new FOP your up to bat.....whata gonna do?
Pat"The Orange One" Camden can't keep doing your job.....Donahue can't keep doing your job even though you now have two lobbyists doing one guys work.
Where are you gel head...step up to the plate and do something,,,say something,,,,where the hell are you? at the pension board? you belong at FOP jug nuts
Dyla Hata!
That's not true 018! This info was passed on at roll call about Michigan ave. Getting hit... 018 on 1st watch is so low on man power there are only 5 cars that are up. With all the bar fights, Marshall Field Gardens, Roll Houses, and other bull-shit we don't have time to patrol Michigan ave.

So those 20+ foot post I see logged on every day don't count? Inquiring minds want to know!

If this can be done, why do we still have to pay ridiculous sales tax on cars that we actually purchase outside of the city???

OK, this has gotten so stupid that someone needs to do something already. There just must be ONE fucking boss that has a spine and a sense of decency who will step up and do the right thing.

If you still didn't know "shit" when you had six years on the job that's your problem. You must be a real slow learner.

Heil, Signoretti, Garant, McCorke,Altobelli, Matthews,Simon,those were some of the guys that worked the Michigan Ave. Detail. Plus the best Sergeant in the history of the CPD, Sgt. Jack Runyan They are all gone now but if they were still there I guarantee you all these smash and grabs, burglaries and wildings would not be occurring.

Another of the "Know Nothings" being heard from. Hey dipshit, businesses that buy for resale pay no sales tax, it is paid by the consumer at the point of sale. Therefore it makes no difference where the business buys its stock.
You pay tax on a car, or technically anything else, that you buy at the rate of the locality where you live and where you garage the car. The Illinois tax is NOT a sales tax, it is a use tax. Big difference. Believe it or not, and you won't because it is impossible to enforce, but those big ticket items that you buy from ABT, or any other store outside the city are also subject to use tax based on where it will be used. It gets collected on cars simply because they must be registered, that is licensed.
Roll house instead of rowhouse.
Curve instead of curb.
Medium instead of median.
Rod iron instead of wrought iron.
Supposably instead of supposedly.
Porsche instead of porch.
All of the above (amd many more not listed) courtesy of our college educated goofs.
"The liberals of our society make it quite clear with every move. They do not want any of us to do what has been traditionally known as police work. They desire no societal law enforcement or lawful punishment for unlawful acts. They want us to merely be an inanimate barrier or wall between them and bad people, but they do not understand that the savage or hoard will not be merely contained. The savage has a thirst for new victims and a mere wall will never be high enough to defeat them."
I think this every day, but I've never seen it articulated in written form so perfectly and concisely. Kudos.

Even when 018 had 560 officers they didn't have 560 working there.
They had at tops around 80 detailed out. The detailed out people went into a second page on the old worksheets.
Some no one had ever seen, no one knew what they looked like. The best spot had to be midnights at the Cardinals house. Go to bed and get a sound night's sleep then go run your business in the morning.

Before you criticize others at least know it's spelled "and" not amd
When you own a business you pay no sales tax on items you are purchasing from a wholesale distributor for the express purpose of resale. (You report what happened to it at the end of the year. sold, restocked, returned, etc) anything else purchased for the business such as a cash register, fax, window treatments, refridgerator, etc taxes are pd just like anyone else. Business orgs are renting shops in strip malls where the tax is advantageous to them and all the businesses in that org will use the address as their own store#2 enabling them to legally get the tax break. Just like IBM and Xerox, etc do. Where do u think the little guys learned it from?
018 District Entertainment should do something about this. It will keep them busy since they don't answer any Bar or Club jobs.
I predict:
criminal case falls apart, boyz separated for administrative violations, sue the city and get back on.
They beat this same beef twice before and the only beat down is going to be those that looked at the GOCR. Nice priorities!
4/25/2011 09:58:00 AM
Yep...and they're gonna keep doing this shit but its gonna be worse because the department won't do anything about it....a monster is being created by this.
In the meantime, they just reported full details and showed the business's (not city pod) videotape of a burglary being done at a hair-care supplies place on West Roosevelt Road. Back door looked like something from a junkyard it'd been pried so many times, really ridiculous, like everything else in these areas it's like there's bears trying to get in all the time.
Guys loaded up a van, didn't even touch the cash register. They took $80,000 worth of packages of cosmetic human hair, which poor people need to buy.
First of all, "poor people" can't afford this kind of hair because its very expensive. It's people like you that always want to blame "poor people". Get it right dude. There are people of all races ( who can afford it)......yes even whites because I know stylist that have white clients...that pays tons of money to wear weaves. "Poor people" as you say can't afford that shit.

Hey slick, that was a typo. Of the above, which one that you use struck a cord. HMMMM?
"Please tell me that you noticed we were losing Brett Goldstein to the Mayor's new administration.
"He is now the Chief Data Officer.
Come rub these crystal balls
"cosmetic" human hair is manufactured. A van filled with actual human hair would be worth millions of dollars believe it or not.
Exactly. If they go after the small biz's for it they have to go after BC/BS, Sprint, MAC, etc. That sharp, sharp knife cuts both ways.
