Sunday Open Post
Bulls are done, Blackhawks have been gone, Bears are locked out and the Cubs and Sox suck. And it might rain again. We're actually tempted to watch the Indianapolis 500.
Open post in the meantime.

screw indianapolis 500. the grandest grand prix of 'em all - GRAND PRIX OF MONACO babyyy! live from monte carlo in a few hours!
Fuck daley and fuck his family......he never gave a shit about my family
Auto racing is like golf.
Pretty boring to watch until you've had a chance to get out there and try it, then, watching it takes on a whole new dimension...
Not much on oval tracks, but rally and/or road course driving is one of the coolest things you can do. It tests the body and mind in ways that no other sport does.
Seriously, if you ever get a chance to try it, go do it. Beware, though. You'll get hooked.
I went to the 500 one year and it was a way better time than I thought. It was the only event that I've ever been to where they let you bring your own booze in too.
can we put scottie pippen on the next space shuttle flight with a one way ticket--- michael jordan was not only one of the greatest basketball players of all time but he was one of the best athletes of the 20th century--- lebron james has a long way to go before he can even come close to being compared to mj---- and bobby orr was the best to ever lace them up with gretzky a close second and gordie howe a close third---- lemiux, jagr, messier, and hull get honorable mentions....
Hey scc what aabout commanders getting dumped? Wtf you were all over tru and msf getting disbanded what about the commanders returning to career service rank? Not just msf or tru gnag intel etc?

To the poster wanting to know the lawmakers pension:
Schicklegroover said...
Illinois lawmakers (you know, the guys who will be in charge of re-writing the laws that steal our pensions) get to retire
* At age 55 with 8 years of credited service.
* At age 62 with 4 years of credited service.
* With 85 percent of their final salary with 20 years of service credit.
For a part time job...
Remember when they bring the Shitehammer down on us to demand the "THEM TOO" clause!
Just a comment on the emptying HQ comments. Should most of those jobs be civilian. YES. Could we staff the more sensitive ones with civilians? YES. Could we do it with civilians currently employed by CPD? FUCK NO!!!! The reason CPD has so many administrative spots for sworn at HQ and Homan Square is that the city will not take the time or money to hire QUALIFIED civilians for the CPD (a handful excepted- I've met some capable civilians in R&D and back when we actually had a decent IT apparatus there were some there as well). FBI Analysts? Civilian, CIA? Civilian. Most of the jobs at HQ don't require arrest powers or a gun, but the Department puts sworn in there because we don't have any civilians with a remote sense of how an investigation is run, much less basic analytic skills. Could we hire some young people just getting out of college and train them to do these jobs? YES. But we won't, because that would require effort. Instead we will just continue to put sworn officers in these positions...
What is going to happen to the St. Andrew's cross flogging station that MSF had in their lockerroom? Any chance the dept. ill e-bay it?
Get ready for compsat era of policing. Supervisors's made miserable and shit rolls down hill.
A big thank you to all the Chicago PD who were there to help us last week with our car chase etc that ended up on Central near Loretto. Always good to know that when our stuff goes into the city, you guys/girls are always there to assist.

Our football team the Enforcers are at home June 25th location TBD opponent TBD for the NPSFL Championship mark the date should be a good time.
I've been around a long time & have seen the ups & downs of Chicago Sports Teams . The Blackhawks did it in 1961 & 2010 , The White Sox were there in 1959 & won it in 2005 , The Bears did it in 1985 & were there in 2006 , The Bulls did it SIX times in the 90's . Finally the CUBS have never been there & will never be there because they suck * always willso this Memorial Day my hat goes off too all Chicago sports teams , except the CUBS . Get a life Cubs fans your team isn't worth following .
Texas deputy gunned down at traffic light
Congratulations to Prosser Principal Kenneth Hunter on getting a 4-year extension to be principal at Prosser Career Academy HS.
The guy must be a magician as under his leadership the dropout rate has increased and Prosser has only 33% of their students meet or exceeding state standards. Thank God for their IB program as without those kids, Prosser would be another Kelvyn Park.
Hunter is what's wrong with CPS. He has his minions in control of the LSC, which voted on his contract and okayed his budget (Including another trip to Birmingham, England for him, 2 staff members, and 'hand picked' group of 8 students. Not a bad deal as he and the 2 staff members go with the kids during spring break, get their usual pay, and a free trip to England. But, I wonder if they're reporting the trip as eanred income?? Where's Pam, Dave, Larry, and Chuck on this one?)

Brother, I don't know what our problem is.....
My Dad retired from the Detroit Fire Department at age 47. He recently shot a 90 golfing, and he is now 83.
The DFD has such a strong union, and retiree's input, that not only have they not LOST benefits, they've actually increased them.
My Dad tells me that a lot of their dues money goes to supporting politicians that support THEM.
I don't know what our problem is, but maybe the new guy should contact the DFD union to learn something.
Id like to know why someone walk into Hq desk for a report, they call are car from 002 to do the report?
@ Total Chicago fan:
Come back when you have the Superbowl, World Series, and the NBA finals within 20 miles of the house- all in the same year.Hahahahaha!
You forgot Ken Barnas. He sucks too! BIG TIME!

it's time for us to unite to fight madigan and rahmbo and quinn--- do nothing but go to your calls and generate no revenue unless you absolutely have to--- you take from us and we take from you.... open your eyes people, their is a reason that the f in fop stands for fraternal---- together we can achieve great things and divided we accomplish nothing....
If you really think that not generating revenue for the city is going to fix things, you're fooling yourself. It's only going to drive them to take more from us. Just do your job and let's rally together in productive ways, not ways that are going to make our city's financial state worse than it already is. That's not the answer. Uniting and fighting the fight is.
Watch Indy car racing? Why, no soccer to watch?
Off-duty Newark NJ policemen murdered last night.
The City is raising retired police officer and firefighter medical insurance premiums to draconian levels while establishing a police detail for a wealthy retired Mayor and paying salaries, subsidizing two cars and gas. That is bold.
Any truth to a rumor that some housemice were allowed to go to some training in Las Vegas - code 49?
House mice that don't ever work the streets should be sweeping the station lot for street experience first, then go out of state for training.
Good decision on that one Area Dep Chief.
How about training the real police.

You do realize that the state politicians have absolutely nothing to do with retiree health care costs. Those are a result of the Korshak Decision and are between the city and the Pension Board. Somethng else that you may not know, if contributions exceed costs you get a refund. I got a hundred buck back last year. It's not much but if you think you are getting screwed by this, I suggest you talk to some folks that are paying private rates for health insurance. Don't forget to ask about their deductibles while you are at it. You/we are getting a bargain, which admittedly may end in 2013. Remember that once you hit 65 and Medicare kicks in you will be paying a lot less.
Maybe now you understand why so many folds are holleirng about the health care crisis. Somehow too.
I agree that welfare, etc. costs are out of line, I really don't believe that you would want to change places with one of the "leeches."

We did Compstat before. The Level I,II,III accountability hearings were broght here from New York back in 2000. They blended it with CAPS, and Cline started the DOC.
They kept the Compstat derived hearings going but keep changing the name.
Only new to the public when the state controlled media reports it as a new philosophy.

Another moron heard from, the cubs were in more world series then the sox could ever think of 10, so go back to the trailer park jagoff!
Rally and road course racing is much more exciting than oval racing. and takes more skill. Motorcycle racing is also cool. American pro racing and World Superbike are racing in Utah today. it won't be live but they run replays late at night.
Hey SCC, is it true that academy personnel has been sent back to District assignments just when the Department decides to do road side enforcement? The same personnel that is trained/certified to do the cameras in cars digital recording of road side stops are now being ordered to forego district duty assignments and do the same assignment they did while assigned to the academy? What genius came up with this farce? Is this what we have to look forward to from Gary "the situation" McCarthy? Let me get this straight, redeploy personnel, send them back to the same duties as before because the administration i.e. "the Situation" did not foresee events that would require certified personel to accomplish tasks that require training? If this is the course of the new administration then we have nothing to fear, Gary"the Situation"McCarthy has insured that it will be the same lame business as usual nonsense. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
More coppers give that stuff away to outsiders then any civilian. Most departments get by with majority civilians just fine.
5/27/2011 04:34:00 PM
--------------
You are obviously a civilian and not sworn. NO police officer has ever given personal information out. However civilians have been arrested for SELLING our data and personal information and coppers HAVE experienced identity theft and financial loss because of civilian selling protected information. Your opinion is not based on fact. You might have a grudge against anyone with an inside spot, I do not. I work in 014 and while I would like to have a desk job I wouldn't bash a cop having one since at least he can be trusted. Look what happened to the 911 system when cops were forced out. Yeah right, you are retired. If you are then you would remember that and the incompetence that followed when cops were replaced with civilians. You're a liar.
5/28/2011 02:44:00 PM
Once again I'll reply to this. Yes an officer has taken personal information used it to his gain and also given out to others. Maybe you were not around in the early 90's in the 007th dist. but I and many other cops were. His name was Aaron Gibson(who was a 007 dist officer) who hit up myself and several officers using information which was and is still left in the open for all to see. He hit me up for over $10,000 in purchases he made after taking out a credit card in my name. Yes he was fired after being caught and had over 30 counts of theft from stealing other cops info. So, again as I posted before do I trust all cops-Hell No!!!! Keep hiring thugs with our wonderful testing process and this will happen.
When is the command staff changes go into effect? Most of these DCs need to be held accountable and dumped. Is it true that next week narcotics and GEU are losing 150 POs each? How long is the city going to wait to fix the real problem? Just hire more POs.
Life sucks and then we are the police too....can't wait to retire!
Has anybody noticed the BS lawsuit give aways have ended? NOW that Daley is gone, we start fighting them? Is that a coincidence?
just a thought since i left in january 2001 of all the fine people i had the pleasure to work with in 008, 006, and my finish at 022 and the laughs we all shared on 1st watch particulary and the silly pranks we all pulled on each other and sometimes the citizens, go easy take it easy and hold dear your families as they love you,Old Rtd Guy
Someone explain to me what exactly is supposed to happen to the TRU and MSF officers after their 90 day detail??????
How do we as a department get the 10 hour day back on the table? I miss having more than 2 days off. The 4 and 2 blows, I am running out of comp. time!!!!
THANK A VETERAN THIS WEEKEND OR IF YOU KNOW A MILITARY GOLD STAR FAMILY. TAKE A MOMENT TO REFLECT UPON THOSE THAT HAVE GIVEN THERE ALL FOR THIS COUNTRY. God Bless the USA
Does IPRA have any type of ramifications when they accuse and issue a cr to someone that has no merit. And the alledged violation occured 3 years ago.

Hey scc what aabout commanders getting dumped? Wtf you were all over tru and msf getting disbanded what about the commanders returning to career service rank? Not just msf or tru gnag intel etc?
5/29/2011 02:56:00 AM
Let's talk about that one way back stabbing pos Commander KR from TRU. When the unit was disbanded last week, sorry 90 day detail, he came to roll call almost gloating making comments like get some heads or you are getting dumped. Ha ha ha. Not so funny now is it KR. Now that you were overheard refering to the ASO as Jimmy Walker and the Cheif as Buckwheat. Who's lauginh now?
He was called down to HQ and within an hour his one lone admin po was dumped to midnights in 004 and KR hasn't been seen since. Didn't even go in to say a final farewell to the troops who he gave the demoralizing task of dropping off their cars to the districts. They had to send in DTEB admin Lieut to handle that. She was also seen going through everyone desks and spent over an hour scouring KR's office before anyone got there.
Stay tuned and see what JJ and Buckwheat have in store for him. Georgas can't help you on this one KR. He's fighting for his own life.
-former 253
current exempts will not be dumped until the complete 3 yrs so they can receive gold braid pension
it's the chicago way
most dumped will then retire and make more than a captain or lt
Ok now we have a new boss. Clear all these inside spots out and keep clearing. Hey MCCarthy! Pop in 023 and proceed to the front office and count how many P.O.'s are in the front office while midnights has only four cars working. Yes thats right four cars working. Then get in your vehicle and head west to Belmont and Western. Check out your area three chiefs office. How many P.O.'s are in there? Shame Shame on you Bruce. You should know better!
Hey Sup, why are there still four Lieutenants assigned to IAD. That's total bullshit. One is clueless, one only supervises her long time friend, one is truly needed to help address EEOC complaints and the last is the silver fox patriot saint of his loyal followers. Send two packing.
"No Tippin Pippen". Old Scotty never leaves a tip for hard working folks who serve him. Short arms and deep pockets. Of course he gets everything for free being the celeb that he is. A cheap skate like him deserves no opinion about anything.
This weather sucks! I can't wait to move somewhere that you can get more than a handful of nice days. Or maybe its just a black cloud over this ass crack of a city.
I'm doing some math here.
I have 10 years on. 65,000 contrib'ed to the pension fund, 35,000 in my deferred. That's 100,000 total.
If I take all of that home and roll it over TAX FREE (ya I know hahaha) then add 1,000 a month (don't ask my be where the hell that will come from) for the 15 years at a safe 4% money market account I will accumulate 430,000.
I'll be 50. That 300,000 / the next twenty years I'll get 21,500 a year BEFORE TAXES.....
Are you pissed off yet too?????
I've had my sports today - Bike the Drive - at least it didn't rain...
--No Cop Here
All I have to say is good luck to the officers that have chosen to work with lt. p.k. from MSF for their area mission team. You are going to be treated like his red headed step child. It's okay though, at least you knew where you were landing. Oh, and the move that sgt. m.o. made to get his two useless guys on the team reflects highly on our 'new,' same as our old, dept. I only hope the new supt. does apply accountability to bosses. If that is done, I know that lt. p.k. will be one of the first to be launched as only one of his two teams will do work.

Any time
Just had coffee with a old buddy who works at HQ.
Some of the guys are sending letters, e mails and faxes to the new boss.
Turns out, he does not see too many of them, some "freinds" of the exempts are censoring what he sees.
The guy is here a whole week and already they have him siting in office being fed shit.
SCC, is it true Aunt B put her papers in to retire? What about Jimmy Jackson?
Golf more
Chicago policemen, firemen, and teachers have never mised even one payment into their pension funds.
On the other hand the city, as adminsitered by the Daley Crime Family, never made even one full payment as agreed to by contract, to those funds.
And now somehow it is the policemen's, firemens's, and teacher's fault that the funds are almost bankrupt.
The conniving rat Daley walks away a rich man and the democRAT party screws us. Nothing new here folks, move along.
P.S. thanks for all the democRAT votes, and keep them coming.
In these times of severe manpower shortages why not cancel those stupid dist bike details. They do absolutely no work, they have absolutely no supervision, and are a complete waste of precious manpower. They laugh about having the summer off.
Attention all Coppers who have been screwed over by an IAD guy with initials A.W.
He used to work in 024 and is an Agent.(was an agent currently stripped)
Currently there are several guys/gals that have been rsailroaded by this guys investigations. There is an attorney who will be meeting with interested parties.
This guy is now stripped re: residency.
Can you say do as I say not as I do?
He has made comments after interviews that kinda go like: this is my lot in life....(IAD work)
This guy is just plain no good! In a case he sustained and a copper went to the board and won his time and pay back, this guy AW tried to screw the copper out of a coupel of the months of back pay because while he was stripped his DL got suspended for an emission violation. That means AW tracked him even after he got his 30 pending and went off the payroll. What a TOOL!
The copper got his back pay eventually but just shows the type of sub-human this guy AW is!
Get together brothers and sisters and if you have been wronged, this is the time to go full steam ahead and call them on this bullshit.
Lets hope the department does the right thing and really looks into all the cases that he has sustained and has attempted to have a copper fired by sending them to the board.
This is not a rap on all IAD members. Its just time that this comes to an end. Many at IAD have commented on what kind of bozo this AW is. If thats the cases why was he ever allowed to be in a position that has so much impact on the career of officers? Or was this by design and is he one of the go-to guys that is going to investigate to sustain rather than look at the whole picture and fact find with fairness? I havent been jaded so badly to think that such an animal exists.(fingers crossed)
Hey thanks ballerina 9.5 and mc puppet for sending us to districts. Places where they are down hundreds of POs but I can't get a locker. Wtf. Nothing like changing in the parking lot. I'm sure it's very safe and nothing will happen. Don't worry boss I'll go fight crime.
On this Memorial Day, a profound thanks to my fellow veterans of all the American Armed Services, current & former. And to my Brothers in Law Enforcement, Federal, State , County & CPD, thank you for the protection you all provide 24/7/365.
Let us never forget those that have fallen in the field.
"...he who sheds his blood today with me, shall forever be my brother..." (Wm. Shakespeare )
Look on the bright side.
Only about 3 years until the return of the Winter Olympics and Curling.
Hey Supt. McCarthy, here is an idea. Bring the St. Jude parade back to Michigan Ave. I am watching the Memorial Day parade and seeing the honor for the soldiers that fight and the commentators talking about how wonderful it is to be right on State st for all to see. Well, the police were shifted to the park, which is a wonderful tribute, but out of sight of downtown...which also means out of mind. Let's see what kind of supt. you are. Put it back for all to see and honor.
I am UC Bachelors degree holder. Pisses me off to no degree to see the stuttering prick teach there. Contacted the Registrar the other day to repudiate my BA. Bitches to put honest men to such ethical trials.

Auto racing simply doesn't televise well; you have to be there. But some of my best memories of my Dad are he and I going to the USAC (now IndyCar) races at Trenton and Pocono.
Happy and safe holiday to all at SCC.
Let's go reds
Does anyone know why the old mayors command post at 3540 S Normal is manned 24-7 by a P.O. from 009??
King Ritchie isn't mayor anymore so why are we still wasting manpower over there? What could possibly require a 009 dist. officer there round the clock?
Hire civilians and watch our pension go broke faster knucklehead. The more coppers that pay in the better.
Remembers the old FOP clowns coming to roll call telling us how YOUR PENSION IS GUARANTEED BY THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION and going as far as to hand out info on the constitution itself. Well yeah we are going to get a pension but we are also going to be paying a shitload more into it. Politicians write and re write laws all the time just as they want to do now. And whos to say in 10yrs they wont do it again, crying broke? I predicted this would happen 6 months ago and here it is all coming to fruition. WAKE UP people before its too late, if its already not beyond that point
Still wondering what's up with the crazy 3rd watch captain in 019. If you do not know how to salsa, are not a female, or do not totally suck up to her you can work 99 and she will GPS you all day. God forbid you go down on a job, finish it and don't immediately code it, she will call your supervisor on air. Not to mention her newest brainstorm... Working 10-4 and have paper? Drop your partner off to do paper and ride 99 until your partner is done. Pathetic excuse of a leader.
looks like officers with less than 15 years on will receive reduced pension benefits
can't wait to see if we keep our medical plan next contract
Thanks to the River Grove police officer today. You know what you did, thanks brother.
I've met some capable civilians in R&D and back when we actually had a decent IT apparatus there were some there as well).
You must mean before Lewin ran it into the ground. Chasing anyone who questioned him or was knowlegeable away to make himself look better.
Civilians or PO it is going to take a long time and alot of money to repair the IT systems of CPD due to this goof.
Maybe the new Supe will have someone who knows IT and will not buy this goofs bulls--t.

From Chicago Breaking News: "Man charged in shooting; victim critically hurt
Tribune reporter
2:58 p.m. CDT, May 29, 2011
A Northwest Side teen has been charged in a Saturday gang-related shooting that left a 23-year-old woman in critical condition, prosecutors said."
Compare/ contrast that to original headline when one of our own was confronted by a teen with a gun.
--- a thousand bucks a year is a big hit to someone who is retired and on a fixed income--- it's time for us to unite to fight madigan and rahmbo and quinn--- do nothing but go to your calls and generate no revenue unless you absolutely have to--- you take from us and we take from you....
5/29/2011 01:49:00 AM
Do you think they give a rat's ass if all you do is answer your calls?
This is a political situation that requires a political response. What's that?...You don't have time to vote? Well, that's why they feel they can ream us with impunity.
Until the time that we push away the keyboard when we're ripping MSF, TRU, HQ, Northside, Southside, whatever axe we feel like wielding against our own brothers and sisters, and unite against the political rapists, we will then have power.
Just a comment on the emptying HQ comments. Should most of those jobs be civilian. YES. Could we staff the more sensitive ones with civilians? YES. Could we do it with civilians currently employed by CPD? FUCK NO!!!! The reason CPD has so many administrative spots for sworn at HQ and Homan Square is that the city will not take the time or money to hire QUALIFIED civilians for the CPD (a handful excepted- I've met some capable civilians in R&D and back when we actually had a decent IT apparatus there were some there as well). FBI Analysts? Civilian, CIA? Civilian. Most of the jobs at HQ don't require arrest powers or a gun, but the Department puts sworn in there because we don't have any civilians with a remote sense of how an investigation is run, much less basic analytic skills. Could we hire some young people just getting out of college and train them to do these jobs? YES. But we won't, because that would require effort. Instead we will just continue to put sworn officers in these positions...
5/29/2011 05:07:00 AM
Signed a civilian wannabe law enforcement professional. I'm sure the FBI doesn't have civilians running some of their spots. Get over it. The city should never have started hiring civilians and they wouldn't be so bitter that they don't have the same benefits as cops, as if that's our fault, and they hate law enforcement officers. Good riddance to civilians. You shouldn't work in an organization that you feel contemptuous about.
civilians back into the CPD. how about bringing back the district managers. These folks did more work than four coppers put together.
we all know that disbanding tru and msf came from the mayors office,and i'm sure the po's arent happy about going back to the districts,that being said the 50 po's that 008 is getting is great,like every other southside dist. we had a manpower issue and in a rap just about everyday,all that would be asked is help with the rap,the 6 po's on a bag a weed arrest days are over,that was brought up by deputy welch at roll call last week,i'm sure some of you are only here for the 1st and the 16th,so if you could just do your job and deal with the 30 min. lunch that the rest of us get,it might even be fun,be safe
Civilians keep up a lot of SHIT!!! And they are hard to get rid of. Most wanted to be the Police at some time. Stop the infighting and just do you. We have enough people against us who don't have a clue about the work we really do.
msf and tru we all know what happened,so you have plenty of time to bitch and moan before you hit the dist.,so please do it before you get here,cuz us in the dist. didn't get 2 hr lunches or 6 po's on a simple arrest,so now you have to answer calls,deal with it,if you dont like it,leave or quit or be a medical abuser,
We could never unite on this job! We couldn't unite to get one of our own elected in the 41st Ward, so a civilian won. That's why we have no voice! But, CFD now has one of their own elected.
I Knew there was a Reason I Hate Sports!
Just a comment on the emptying HQ comments. Should most of those jobs be civilian. YES. Could we staff the more sensitive ones with civilians? YES. Could we do it with civilians currently employed by CPD? FUCK NO!!!! The reason CPD has so many administrative spots for sworn at HQ and Homan Square is that the city will not take the time or money to hire QUALIFIED civilians for the CPD (a handful excepted- I've met some capable civilians in R&D and back when we actually had a decent IT apparatus there were some there as well). FBI Analysts? Civilian, CIA? Civilian. Most of the jobs at HQ don't require arrest powers or a gun, but the Department puts sworn in there because we don't have any civilians with a remote sense of how an investigation is run, much less basic analytic skills. Could we hire some young people just getting out of college and train them to do these jobs? YES. But we won't, because that would require effort. Instead we will just continue to put sworn officers in these positions...
5/29/2011 05:07:00 AM
Certainly there have been some questionable Civilian hires in the Department in the past (the same could be said for some Sworn hires as well). However, most of the "sensitive" Civilian positions filled within the Department receive more than just a cursory background check. They get full investigations with residence visits, interviews and real reference checks. There are varying levels of skills, talents and abilities amongst the Civilians as there are amongst the Sworn. So before you start making more blanket statements, let me speak for many of the current and past Department Civilians when I say take a deep breath, step back from the precipice, and know it gets better. Is that analytical enough for you, Pudwacker?
all of you have a blessed day now

Hey Sup, why are there still four Lieutenants assigned to IAD. That's total bullshit. One is clueless, one only supervises her long time friend, one is truly needed to help address EEOC complaints and the last is the silver fox patriot saint of his loyal followers. Send two packing.

Check their investigative review boxes and see which ONE stands out as being useless. Your lunch lover wouldn't stand a chance.

Brother, I don't know what our problem is.....
My Dad retired from the Detroit Fire Department at age 47. He recently shot a 90 golfing, and he is now 83.
The DFD has such a strong union, and retiree's input, that not only have they not LOST benefits, they've actually increased them.
My Dad tells me that a lot of their dues money goes to supporting politicians that support THEM.
I don't know what our problem is, but maybe the new guy should contact the DFD union to learn something.

Shitcago, Cook County, Illinois politicians don't give a rats ass about tax payers. The care about the Leeches that vote for them by giving them the freedom to live the lives of alley cats. There's Upper Class, they are rich, Middle Class, they pay most of the taxes & get fucked over the most by City, County, and State Goverment, then there's the "Entitled Ones". the Govt pays them to push out multiple babies with multiple fathers (who take no responsibility), live under Govt supported housing, get fed by the government, and still have the right to break the law with impunity.
None of our elected officials care about public safety employees, they cater to the consumers of 40 ouncers, and the drug sub-culture of the 'deprived neighborhoods.
If you've ever been in line behind a loud & boisterous "entitled one" wearing expensive clothes & paying for several carts of snacks & steak and then pay for it all with a link card, you know what I mean.
I've actually seen a woman start a shit storm because the checkout clerk wouldn't put the liquor on the link card. She Said this bitch is disrespecting me !!!

"looks like officers with less than 15 years on will receive reduced pension benefits
can't wait to see if we keep our medical plan next contract"
Years of service isn't going to have anything to do with keeping or losing a percentage of pension benefits. It's simply going be a change from 2.5% per year worked to something like 1.5%. This will be effective from a certain date in the future. So, if you have 15 years on at the time of the effective change from 2.5 to 1.5%, you will get 15 X 2.5% and then from that point on 1.5% for every year worked from there.
"How do we as a department get the 10 hour day back on the table? I miss having more than 2 days off. The 4 and 2 blows, I am running out of comp. time!!!!"
I've worked both, and I'll take the 4 and 2 any day. The only reason to endure the 10 hour never ending day is for the days off. And the only reason anyone liked the 10 hour day with the days off is if you're getting a duck after 8 hours. That shit don't play in the district, only in a unit.

You don't know all the shit on this goof and most who work at IAD.
He spent time in the nut house for domestic problems, liked to push around the old lady,and for contemplating suicide.
But the best was the time in 024 when he faked being shot. He got caught in the lie but it was covered up when he got recruited for IAD by Sgt P.C.,a former front office P.O. from 024 who might actually be related to Fat Phil, same last name????? Hubby is a Dic in A/5.
If you truly believe that anybody at IAD is legit then you deserve to get fucked. IAD is loaded with former personnel concerns and nut jobs just like Al W.
Another famous sandbagger is now a Lt. in 001. He sandbagged many an innocent P.O. as an IAD rat and made Sgt went to 018 and sandbagged many there. Then for his reward he was put in charge of sandbagging coppers for the Personnel Concerns program and he put many on the forced medical until they were cleared by the shrink. Now a Lt. in 001.
IAD has never been and will never be legit, some of the worst end up working there so good old Al W. truly fits in there. Wonder if his buddy Sgt.P.C. will get him out of this one?
Maybe someday SCC and the FOP will do an expose on IAD and the personnel who work there. What an eye opener that would be if the truth ever came out.
to 1:12 post: 10 years on and you only got 35k!!
"I'm doing some math here.
I have 10 years on. 65,000 contrib'ed to the pension fund, 35,000 in my deferred. That's 100,000 total.
If I take all of that home and roll it over TAX FREE (ya I know hahaha) then add 1,000 a month (don't ask my be where the hell that will come from) for the 15 years at a safe 4% money market account I will accumulate 430,000.
I'll be 50. That 300,000 / the next twenty years I'll get 21,500 a year BEFORE TAXES.....
Are you pissed off yet too?????"
Issue #1) you will/should be able to roll that over TAX FREE into your own account. The only way you would not be able to is if you not directing it into a "retirement" vehicle like an IRA.
Issue #2) why wouldn't you be able to save MORE THAN 1000 a month to add to that account? I've posted this before, for this scenario to fly the deferred comp and pension contribution laws must be changed. In order to allow individuals to properly insure their own retirement, the law must change to allow for an increase in the maximum allowable deferred comp contribution and allow for the current 9% of pension deferrals to be ADDED to the deferred comp amount. 9% (pension) + 15% (deferred comp) would give you a healthy 24% total monthly deferral. You could easily put in 1500-2000 a month at that rate and more than adequately provide for a nice retirement....IF you have at least 15 years to go. This scenario is NOT a good one if you have less than 10 years as there is not enough time to build up a nest egg.
430k at 4% interest per month would give you income of 1720 minus tax and your principal stays at 430k. Forget about retiring completely at 50. While you may be able to retire from the job, you will still have to work to provide an adequate standard of living to supplement the 1720. I know a lot of retired cops that still work, you will too, as will I.
One thing that I would have to see is that the city offers a "buyout" to entice active members to take the lump sum, rather than take the traditional pension benefit. I've posted before that I'll take half of my expected traditional pension benefit based on retired officers life expectancy. If PO life expectancy in retirement is 10 years, then I want a 5 year up front buyout. That would add about 200k, it gives me time to grow it and saves the city in the long run. Buyouts happen or in the private sector and if the city is serious about wanting to purge future pension rolls, then they have to offer something to make it worthwhile.
A/1. D/C. E-3 Is clueless , how that guy got promoted is beyond me. He speaks in tounges.

Because the responsibility of HQ's reception desk is to ensure the security of HQ, and not to be distracted by writing reports?

Very early on I worked in 013. No lockers available. Parking lot was my locker room. A district with lockers was an unheard of luxury. Still, good coppers then, lots of laughs at work. I enjoyed going to work. Now there are tons of lockers but not too much enjoyment going to work. It was the lockers. Many good bosses then too.

Remembers the old FOP clowns coming to roll call telling us how YOUR PENSION IS GUARANTEED BY THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION and going as far as to hand out info on the constitution itself. Well yeah we are going to get a pension but we are also going to be paying a shitload more into it. Politicians write and re write laws all the time just as they want to do now. And whos to say in 10yrs they wont do it again, crying broke? I predicted this would happen 6 months ago and here it is all coming to fruition. WAKE UP people before its too late, if its already not beyond that point
5/29/2011 06:26:00 PM
We are NOT included in any of the current pension bills mandating increases. I repeat, NOT INCLUDED.
That doesn't mean we can relax, they will seek to have a special bill for us.
Some lawmakers know that any bill that seems to be in conflict with the Illinois Constitution will be subject to years of court challenges.
CPD can expect to see increases in contributions in coming years from 9% presently to at least 12%. We can expect that but we must ensure that the City's portion also goes up.
We must remain vigilant.

An what about all the Lieutenants and Sergeants still hiding out in various units like Human Resources, MLAS, ERPS, ETC. Civilians can do their jobs and they can add to that 1000 officers needed on the streets.
The difference with New York's COMSTAT and our LEVEL III. Comstat worked. If a Commander screwed up, you were chastised at that forum, and DEMOTED, walk in a Commander, leave as a Lieutenant. Here, the CPD POLITICAL way, walk in a Commander, get a slap on the wrist, and a better luck next time speech. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY, couldn't get dumped. Hope the Supe brought his style of Exempt Accountability HERE!
Someone explain to me what exactly is supposed to happen to the TRU and MSF officers after their 90 day detail??????
Well, you will either.....A) Have the detail extended another 90 days or......B) What detail? You submitted a bid to work this district. And as a succesful bidder you now have a home for at least a year.
"You must mean before Lewin ran it into the ground. Chasing anyone who questioned him or was knowlegeable away to make himself look better.
Civilians or PO it is going to take a long time and alot of money to repair the IT systems of CPD due to this goof.
Maybe the new Supe will have someone who knows IT and will not buy this goofs bulls--t.

True dat, we used to have a pretty good IT departmemt. Now we really don't have one at all. People would bitch about its weakest link (helpless desk) but at least they were here.
Someone explain to me what exactly is supposed to happen to the TRU and MSF officers after their 90 day detail??????
McCarthy said he doesn't know what happens after 90 days. Lets see they are taking all the equipment and shipping it out, so instead of calling it decentralizing it should of been disbanding.
so after 90 days there has to be a superbid for the affected officers, of course the district choices will only be the busiest ones.
No sweat, we will blend in, there will be some haters on both sides, but as long as they all show up when help is called for things will be all good
Let's talk about that one way back stabbing pos Commander KR from TRU. When the unit was disbanded last week, sorry 90 day detail, he came to roll call almost gloating making comments like get some heads or you are getting dumped. Ha ha ha. Not so funny now is it KR. Now that you were overheard refering to the ASO as Jimmy Walker and the Cheif as Buckwheat. Who's lauginh now?
He was called down to HQ and within an hour his one lone admin po was dumped to midnights in 004 and KR hasn't been seen since. Didn't even go in to say a final farewell to the troops who he gave the demoralizing task of dropping off their cars to the districts. They had to send in DTEB admin Lieut to handle that. She was also seen going through everyone desks and spent over an hour scouring KR's office before anyone got there.
Stay tuned and see what JJ and Buckwheat have in store for him. Georgas can't help you on this one KR. He's fighting for his own life.

To 8:51 a.m. post re: HQ:
It's true that the officers manning the desks etc. at HQ will not do reports for citizens requesting them. They hand them a slip of paper advising them to go to 02,021 or 009.
We even had a walk in robbery just occurred that had happened 1.5 blks from HQ and when the victim went to HQ they told him we don't do reports go to one of these districts and they'll make a report. What kind of shit is that?
Is it too much trouble for these candy asses to whip out a quick report? What kind of supervision do they have over there?
If we at district desks send people away without doing them a report we could end up with a C.R.#.
Why the double standard??

Sorry bud, but the poster that got you this upset did miss one point...KR is a DOUCHE
Hey thanks ballerina 9.5 and mc puppet for sending us to districts. Places where they are down hundreds of POs but I can't get a locker. Wtf. Nothing like changing in the parking lot. I'm sure it's very safe and nothing will happen. Don't worry boss I'll go fight crime.
Esco??? Is that you crying?? dont cry, you had a decent spot in 014 then had to go to the elite msf.. now your dumped to 007. The only thing youve done so far is whine about how you dont have a locker and miss msf and boo hoo boo hoo.. shut up, and stop walking around like youve "been there and done that"... youve got 5 years on the job. you havent done anything or been anywhere. 014 is not what is use to be... you think your the bomb but in reality your one of the biggest cry baby geeks out there... and hey, keep your car off lake shore drive late at night.... Kid
Interesting about that IAD AW.
So they covered for him when he shot himself and then he went psycho and they put him in IAD???
WTF!
SUP MCCARTHY, someone, are you reading this?
Set those POWS free...........
MEDIA how about u?
I've worked both, and I'll take the 4 and 2 any day. The only reason to endure the 10 hour never ending day is for the days off. And the only reason anyone liked the 10 hour day with the days off is if you're getting a duck after 8 hours. That shit don't play in the district, only in a unit.
5/30/2011 12:15:00 AM
Are u too dense to realize that u are only working .5 hrs less per shift now than with the 10hr day?
5/30/2011 10:45:00 AM
He's too drunk to realize that he works 9.5 hours instead of ten and only gets two days off for that instead of three and four days off. He is a moron of the highest order.

Someone explain to me what exactly is supposed to happen to the TRU and MSF officers after their 90 day detail??????
McCarthy said he doesn't know what happens after 90 days. Lets see they are taking all the equipment and shipping it out, so instead of calling it decentralizing it should of been disbanding.
so after 90 days there has to be a superbid for the affected officers, of course the district choices will only be the busiest ones.
No sweat, we will blend in, there will be some haters on both sides, but as long as they all show up when help is called for things will be all good

What is a super bid?
and where is that written in what contract?
1:49 A.M.: Gotta Agree, fuck working for the Bosses if they are going to hurt your family financially! Whats' in it for P.O.'s? Remember , Rahm has an agenda and it does not include helping City workers! Look at his most recent photo Opps Anybody look like a job holder there?
Yeah and how about FOP-Mike you know about this guy?
This needs to be out there so all who this guy has screwed or tried to can now have recourse.

Re the 019 3rd watch capt. She treats me good and im not female, but im not a dog either...hmmm... what could be the connection?! She MUST be crazy...
5/29/2011 11:37:00 PM
She is crazy, now learn to read, you might not be a female, but that would make you either a salsa boy, or a suck up take your pick. Furthermore if you think she is well liked then obviously you are not, the watch is getting ready to file safety complaints. Now be a good boy and go beat the Captains wig

The difference with New York's COMSTAT and our LEVEL III. Comstat worked. If a Commander screwed up, you were chastised at that forum, and DEMOTED, walk in a Commander, leave as a Lieutenant. Here, the CPD POLITICAL way, walk in a Commander, get a slap on the wrist, and a better luck next time speech. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY, couldn't get dumped. Hope the Supe brought his style of Exempt Accountability HERE!
5/30/2011 05:42:00 AM
Isn't CompStat considered a joke of a program in some circles? And haven't the accountability sessions led to the fudging of numbers in some departments? Just axin'.
To all the guys who say just dress at home and cover up: 10, 15 years ago I used to see PO's all over the place on their way to and from work. Grocery store, drug store, Target, etc., with a jersey or flannel shirt over uniform pants. Now it's a rarity. I myself used to dress at home-now I change at work where I'm lucky enough to have a locker.Many of us would rather not draw attention to ourselves off-duty. It's a safety issue and a personal preference. And it's actually kind of insulting that a job considered a "profession" treats us so poorly.A locker for uniform and equipment should be standard for all.
/29/2011 10:50:00 PM The Irish only vote for the Irish, no matter how retarded, useless, or drunk. Case in point: Doherty. He never did shit for the city workers in the 41st ward, yet he kept getting re-elected. Never heard him speak up for the police or firemen when contracts talks stalled. The poor policeman candidate never had a chance. Look who got the second greatest number of votes. Doherty's ex secretary. What did she ever do to help the police when stumblin' Brian was alderman. Gallic mediocrity rules in the 41st ward.
News flash! the ward doesn't revolve around police and fire! the world doesn't revolve around us either. I had no beef with Doherty, my garbage got picked up,the snow got plowed, street lights worked, when I called the ward office, they answered and took care of my problem, regardless of my political affiliation. Just because a copper ran for office doesn't make him the best candidate, it just means he's trying to gain office by leveraging that peice of tin in his pocket and clueless coppers who will vote for anyone just by virtue of being the police; no thanks....
5/30/2011 01:04:00 PM Did you park at a meter on Memorial Day? Yeah, we have to pay now. Don't you think the lone Republican in the city counsel would have voted 'no' on the parking meter sale? Doherty voted to sell the meters 'cause he was a Daley lap dog. It probably hurt his head to think of a reason to vote no on the parking meter deal. Better to lick the hand of his master, and keep his mouth shut.
That dog tease thing was seriously funny!
Fun in Toronto.

To 8:51 a.m. post re: HQ:
It's true that the officers manning the desks etc. at HQ will not do reports for citizens requesting them. They hand them a slip of paper advising them to go to 02,021 or 009.
We even had a walk in robbery just occurred that had happened 1.5 blks from HQ and when the victim went to HQ they told him we don't do reports go to one of these districts and they'll make a report. What kind of shit is that?
Is it too much trouble for these candy asses to whip out a quick report? What kind of supervision do they have over there?
If we at district desks send people away without doing them a report we could end up with a C.R.#.
Why the double standard??
5/30/2011 10:25:00 AM
They are there to ENSURE THE SECURITY OF THE BUILDING. Not to write reports. There's no lock-up there, either. What part of "this is NOT a district desk" don't you understand?
There's a radio at the desk. If instant response is needed, they have the means to provide it. Otherwise, their function is to secure that facility. Period.

How about a flash message, if it was a robbery just occurred? Or is that beneath them?
