Welcome Aboard Mr. McCarthy
- McCarthy arrived in Chicago the day after a U.S. special operations team killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaida. The incoming police superintendent has not had a chance to get a detailed assessment of Chicago's counter-terrorism plans. Although he was only marginally involved in the creation of NYPD's plan, McCarthy said he knows how it was created.
"It might be the model that local police agencies should pursue," McCarthy told the Tribune. "(Chicago) should probably have a robust component for counterterrorism."
Remember, the prevailing attitude around here has been, "It would be impractical to train the entire police department" for anything resembling a 9-11 type attack, including having people familiar with a downtown evacuation or how to shut down highways or raise the bridges or similar doomsday scenarios.
"Just winging it" isn't going to cut it and neither is relying on the feds to get troops here in a timely manner.
Hopefully McCarthy is allowed to bring in needed change. But we remember wishing that before around three years ago. He's going to need all the skill and all the luck in the world here undoing the damage of the past administration. We heard he's bringing in a First Deputy again - that will be a telling first appointment.

He'll hit the ground running, but after he realizes all the nonsense that goes on around here, he'll say fuck it.
How long before Garry says, "You call this a fuckin police department?"
If Garry keeps the goatee, I'm flyin the mohawk.
"Garry McCarthy never made it to New York police headquarters on 9/11.
The second plane hit the south tower of the World Trade Center when he was about a block away from work. So he set up an impromptu operational command center amid the chaotic aftermath of the disaster."
I'll take McCarthy over Mr "Gotta Run". At least he runs TOWARDS danger!
Weis RAN AWAY a few times.
He said he wants guns off the streets. Thats great and lets hope someone whispers to him about pows at call back and other places that have been rairoaded by wiesel and brust and are still there pending police board cases. Like 30 of them that the alien signed off on before leaving our beloved CPD.
Some of those guys/gals should not be on the chopping block and are very hard workers with bricks on them by bosses who really didnt like them for one reasopn or another. Yup-that easy for a career to be railroaded ...
signed,Former POW
good luck. you will find out quickly this isnt new york. its a different breed of animal. you will also learn what the shitheads already know, and that is the cook county justice system is a joke. that is a big reason for crime in chicago
I concur sir there are hundreds of thousands of terrorists in Chicago. They are Latin Kings, Vice Lords, Gangster Disciples, Black P-Stones, Spanish Cobras, Maniac Gangster Disciples, Spanish Gangster Disciples, Latin Saints, Latin Counts, LaFamilia Stones, Two-Sixes, MS-13s, and many more.
So.....will McCarthy be releasing the results of the morale survey, or????????
Supt. McCarthy,
Welcome to CPD. Whether you are aware of it or not, the Chicago Police Department is at a pivotal point in its history. From everything I've heard and read about you, you seem to know how to do the right things. Look out for us troops, and we'll work ourselves to the bone for you. Hopefully the circumstances in place allow you to do what you know how to do. Best of luck, and enjoy your time here in Chicago!
kill clout promotions
If McCarthy cleans up the Med Sec of all the abusers as he did in prior assignment it would be great.
Mr. McCarthy is going to change the outlook of this department permanently. He is not one who will stand by and accept supervisors who are incompetant. McCarthy requested, and was granted, significant leeway to run the CPD independent of Rahm. This was the agreement. McCarthy will change this department forever. Give him a chance. -from someone on the inside

Why don't you mind your own business? What do you care if someone abuses the medical? There might come a day where you find yourself with a recurring illness or something.
Take care of yourself...you are not the boss of anybody else.
It is truly amazing to me that with all the merit promotions, not once but twice we have to go outside to pick a Superintendent. There are plenty of good cops that just have no clout. I hope he is able to do something with the 30% merit.
I know this will never happen, but just think how nice it would be if the courts in the places he came from actually worked as they should and he sees just how bad they are here and is able to do something about it by using the bully pulpit he will have. It'll never happen, but it would be nice. When Mayor Guilanni took over New York City, all those idiot liberals in NYC thought that the city would just be a crime infested toilet forever and he changed it. The crime rate actually went down.
Will he get a $300K+++ PAYCHECK like J-Fled???
J Fed also told us he was doing away with a lot of things in the PD. all sounds good in the news until he try's to do it and the call comes from the mayor. Forget it.
The Chicago terrorist Plan made up by Daley, Weiss and the rest of the slubs is for Officers to walk in a clockwise circle. At the moment of action they are to reverse themselves and hastily walk in a counter clockwise direction all of this accomplished while their heads were up their asses. According to Richie, Maggie and Jody this should solve all of the world's troubles.
We hard he's bringing in a First Deputy again - that will be a telling first appointment.

Come on guys, give him a break.
He looks like Cliff from Cheers.
"Just Sayin."
At least he's a real cop and not a suit like the last one.
---not a cop
How about some promotions off the lists from all ranks
Sounds like we might have a good guy coming here. Let's hope city politics doesn't fuck this up.
Wait until he looks into the non - existent not functional Loop Evacuation plan. What a joke. THe lack of training for terrorist events, and the entire Command Structure filled with " Triple Crown Winner " exempt members who were meritouiously pronoted to Sgt, Lt and then exempt based upon clout, either political or internal to the Department and their race or sex, a cesspool of incompetence. It shouldnt take him long to figure that part of it out, lets se if Rahm lets him launch some of them.
A new Superintendent and a new Mayor in the same week. Despite what you may have heard, the majority of the rank and file look forward to the new day. It's kind of like the first day of school. You hope you got a good teacher.
Please don't wear the uniform. We know you were the Police and that's fine. You can be a civilian administrator and we can respect that. The uniform will never quite look right.
Please don't go to the Academy. It is not necessary and quite frankly it is beneath you and will look like you are pandering.
Good luck. We hope you succeed, really.
You Said:
"McCarthy requested, and was granted, significant leeway to run the CPD independent of Rahm. This was the agreement. "
I Say:
Haaaaaaaahahhaaaahhhaaaaa
I can only say that I wish I was still active and not retired. I view this as a significant opportunity for those still on the department. Great changes will be coming, changes that will reshape the department for good. The reverends and the alderpersons will be pissed that they will not have the control they once had. And, I hope that the working police officer who does not have connections is given a chance for assignment and promotion. There are some pretty good merit promotees, but it seems most of them are clueless and incompetent and even a few drunks. You do not have to love your leader or even like them, but you need to respect them and most of the exempts are not respected. I believe that anyone who desires a promotion to exempt should meet some basic criteria and even take a competency exam. I don't know how he will turn around a department driven into the ground by the democratic party. I hope he brings in some help from the NYPD and makes significant changes in the detective division, to include its leadership and its investigative policies.
Nice to see that the CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT is so screwed up that the second mayor had to go outside the department.
And rahm said he would pick within the CPD. Lie number #
Would'nt you love to be the fly on the wall when Emanuals chief of staff sits down with him and explains how "merit" promotions work?
Let's all hope one of the first things he does is eliminate the Merit Promotions or at least suspend them until merit can be defined and justified. Then take a look at all those "light duty" gals, get the the real police out of call-back, and eliminate the riff raff that are still collecting a salary.
Let's see if any of those unnecessary Bureaus and staff will be eliminated.
Start at the top and concentrate on the Patrol Division - the foundation of this Department, we need help, QAULIFIED supervisors.
Read up on Schenkel, another Flunky, brought in to Chicago:
The head of the Federal Protective Service will be replaced following a series of investigative reports over major security lapses in government buildings.
Gary Schenkel, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant who has served as FPS director since March 2007, will be reassigned to a Department of Homeland Security policy office where he will work as deputy assistant secretary for state and local law
5/02/2011 09:34:00 PM
Hey, New Guy! Schenkel was also the first Civilian put in charge of the academy somewhere around 10 years ago, and he did an excellent job there until he was replaced with a continuing parade of losers.
Know your history!
Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel today will introduce Newark, N.J. , police chief Garry McCarthy as Chicago’s new police superintendent, sources said, gambling that McCarthy’s big city experience will overcome the fact that he is another outsider.
Big city experience please 277,000 people probably a little less and 26 square miles ( size of 016 ).
Maybe Bender is wrong and we're not boned...
I know why we can't have an outstanding insider for supe. Clout is inbred CPD culture. Almost all the bosses are shameless incompetent political hacks since Shortshanks took over. "Merit" is political patronage clout, plain and simple.
Hopefully, Supt. McCarthy can open up promotions based on objective and transparent legitimacy instead of BS "merit". Experience as a street cop should also be heavily weighted. Look at all the white shirts who have never been the real police. This is why morale is dead.
If Supt. McCarthy reforms this, we could respect leadership instead of just grooming worthless suckasses. Patronage and the gold braid bill have to go. The whole job is rigged for mediocrity.
good luck...wait until you see all the morons that run the show...and hope you can deal with the so called ( iam a convicted felon) reverends...and lets not forget the slime we call our aldermans.
At least, they say he was, "a beat cop".
Is he willing to tell Rahm that, "Do more with less is out."
Mr McCarthy I have some advice for you...
First, I know you said you are going to wear the uniform only after going through our academy. If that is true then you have to go through the ENTIRE 23, 36 48, or however many weeks it is now. An abbreviated program set up just for you will not suffice.
Second, you will soon be introduced to Cease Fire. Do not trust them and their bullshit "interventions". Out of the probably hundred or so hamicide scenes I have involved with in my career (Over 20), I have NEVER heard of any witness, suspects, or family members EVER say they have been contacted by Cease Fire. You would think I would have come across them days after handing out leaflets, bumper stickers or knocking on doors etc.
They are nothing but a criminal organization sucking up tax dollars.
Boy oh boy.I used to be indecisive,but now, I'm not so sure anymore.
I guess no one's noticed that this toughguy already intends to pull a "Masters" and take his 2 hour class, have someone else take the state test for him just so he can pull the same shit as Weisel and wear OUR uniform without ever earning it on OUR streets.
Same shit, different day. A wannabe Chicago Cop gets the top job AND he gets to act like he's a Chicago copper by wearing OUR uniform without ever having earned the right to wear it.
Nice move, slick. Mistake #1 out of how many more to come?
Wear OUR uniform, YOU FAIL AS A BOSS IN CHICAGO!!!
I'd like to think spending 30 yrs learning this dept. & living here for 50yrs that some day a home grown copper could actually run it! It's still a slap in the face to me... Home grown coppers don't need learning curves!
The Counter Terrorism plan, hahaha. Considering from the Sgt to the lt to the commander, all three are extremely incompetant and under qualified. They are more concerned about legal liability than actually countering terrorism. If I didn't know better, I'd say they themselves were a sleeper cell. Ask anybody who has ever attempted to do that job under these fools. Let's hope McCarthy see through the Bullshit about to be spewed from commander cobblepot, look closely, you'll see the man behind the curtain has no clue about anything, except stealing ideas from others, LIKE COMPSTAT.
unless mccarthy changes this prevalent pattern of coppers getting jack potted for dumb shit things will never change--- welcome aboard boss, the most dangerous snakes are the ones right next to you, not the ones on the outside....
OT Hey Mickey if I run a party and are short some peeps will you write me a check for 20,000 w/o asking the board.

So a guy that basically attacks two officers for writing a 'parking in a handicapped ticket' to his daughter (with his wife no less) gets the job? Great.

If one of MY kids illegally parked in a handicap spot, I'd be telling them to get their able-bodied ass to the Clerk's office to pay that ticket immediately. Out of their own pocket.
And, I would tell them they had better not tell ANYONE they were related to me, while doing so. I taught them better than to take a spot from someone who actually needs it.
You sound like those parents who come into the station and tell the desk sgt "not my Johnny; he would never do anything wrong", then immediately blame everyone else for their kid's actions.
There is a long list of problems that McCarthy needs to address and if the wrong people get his ear it will be over before it starts. He needs to look closely at every member of his command staff and research exactly how they got and held their positions prior to relying on anyone's judgement. He also should personally review the backgrounds of all his personnel at the Lt. rank as they hold part of his solution to the problem. There are a few good Captains out there also but their selection process makes them suspect. He needs to go beyond the mindset of " if you are still in patrol there is something wrong with you" and learn that he has a wealth of talent languishing in the districts. Another pitfall is training records. If you don't know how this department works you wouldn't realize that a resume heavy with impressive training programs and special projects only means that some one has or had clout at one point in their career. Some of them are qualified but most are not. The story on the CPD is that the clout heavy pad their resumes, while the competent and cloutless actually are out there doing the job. While it will be a challenge this department still holds enough talent among the unrecognized to get the job done and turn things around. As a primer to a man that does not know the workings of Chicago it may be time for SCC to do him a favor and start a new and updated version of "who begat who" with an extra added treat of those who never passed a promotional exam and couldn't find superman in a phone booth. I am sure he is reading this blog for background just as those who will be working under him are watching Brick City and reading all the background they can find on out new boss.
OT hey FOP since big John F is coming out to all the police shootings why is it that all your inside useless help is still getting captains pay if they are not working the sixth day on call
**OFF TOPIC**
Saint Xavier University will be hosting an Information Session at the CPD Academy tomorrow (Wednesday; 03-MAY-2011) from 11am-3pm for those CPD members who are interested in getting back to school. Take advantage of the Tuition Reibursement opportunity; who knows how long it will be there for us!
The next few months will tell us which direction we are going. If he doesn't make any major changes then it's the same old/same old. If he makes major changes like ending "merit" based promotions, demoting incompetent white shirts, etc.... then it will be change we can believe in.
yeah right... Another clout division creation I can see it already. Unless, there is a big line of guys with calls waiting to go to intelligence. Let's expand it and take 400 more people off the street. More time due denied
AAAHHH! While working 2-Spot, CTA employees related that Jody was interviewing with Claypool about a security spot at the CTA. His Counter-Terrorism knowledge is the reason. We can't get rid of this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If want, try having the bosses not make everything so personal. It seems if they dont like you, they do everything they can to make you misserable. How about making it a pleasant working atmosphere?
Get rid of the egos.
Lead rather than rule.
Positive reinforcment.
Happy people are producing people.
I will give you every chance in the world Mr Superintendent. Right up until you make me not like you? I wish you the best!
How about manditory power tests? To get any type of raise(step,contract) you must pass the power test. Same for promotions. Also how about cutting out the duty avialiablity checks for those on the medical. If you're not here, your'e not avialiable.
Don't forget that McCarthy's plan had the backing of the Mayor of New York who Stood behind the police, unlike our weisel mayor. That is one of the main reasons that his plan worked. Also the city council stood up for the plan & police not like our council who say that the police are picking on the poor minority children. Go to the white wards & pick on their children. Well our children are not out past curfew, standing on corners selling dope. We know where our children are, do you know where children are??? Oh yea, they're at work bring money in to pay for the flat screen etc. Just my opinion no one else.
let's give McCarthy a chance to change CPD by cutting command staff by 25-30% and selecting Qualified Police Officers from all ranks that are Qualified , Not 2 or 3 time merit political appointed
time will tell
since hes sporting a goatee that means we can too right? negative.. guess that goes right along with rahm-bo's non-residency is ok for me but not you!!
When M.S.F was created there were people from S.O.S that came back to the 153 that were trained in C.I.R.T and Emergency response to a Terrorist type incident, but the new people in charge said and i quote "THATS THE FIRE DEPT'S JOB, WE DONT NEED THAT HERE." Let see if that changes now
Check (NYPD) "THEE RANT" under "Emanuel names Garry McCarthy new Chicago Police Supt." by author "19pct".
It's now up to 21 posts and getting VERY interesting.
Felicia who?......Deputy in charge of what?.......10 years doing what?....cooking school?....
"If Garry keeps the goatee, I'm flyin the mohawk."
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Rock the hawk. G.O. says no "crazy" hairstyles and lists specific examples...mohawks, DREADLOCKS, etc. If they can wear dreadlocks you can wear a mohawk.
Meet the new boss same as the old boss. He will have your back "as long as you are working hard and doing the right thing". Typical. Police work is alot of grey and that is when we need the benefit of the doubt. I don't need you when I am 100% right.
Everyone of these guys are politicians and he is using his actions at ground zero to promote himself much like Bush's planned downed plane photo op. While the working cop,fireman ,construction worker ect just did what had to be done without the need to tell everyone at every opportunity and use it as a springboard to higher office.
People at this level are not like us. He will be just another lap dog for the fifth floor looking ahead to the next good spot. Now move along ain't nothin to see hear.
I set the over/under for McCarthy saying what the fuck at 9 1/2 during McCarthy's first staff meeting with the dumbass exempts he will inherit. A lot of people jumped on wiess for moving people around when he got here but that might of been one of the few things he did right. McCarthy needs to make big changes. The current leadership of the police department is a who you know joke hopefully McCarthy does what Weiss only talked about making the leadership of this department professional where knowledge and experience matter instead of the current clout who you know culture that the Chicago Police Department has lived by so far
As C.O., Garry McCarthy had three commands, the first two in Manhattan [20th Pct.: Upper West Side and 33rd Pct.: Washington Heights]. Before being promoted to Deputy Commissioner for Operations, his last command was Brooklyn's 70th Pct.: Flatbush.
Do whatever you want Garry....Purge another level of corrupt bosses. Redesign the departmental structure map. Go to a few community meetings, and build a coalition or two with people who know absolutley nothing about policing. Dont forget to skew the crime stats your way.
I just still want my 20 and out...
he said he will wear the uniform, but he will become a certified police officer first in the state of illinois. hes been the police for 30 years and hes worked a beat and done the job so i say its ok.
35th St. said........
New Inside Info!!!!!
McCarthy is dumping Cuello,
J. Jackson, and Downtown E. Brown. They are all being replaced with outsiders McCarthy is bringing in from Jersey. Snooki, Paulie, and Mike "The Situation." Also after every ticket issued the issuing officer and partner will fist pump.
**********************************
That's funny shit! But I'd rather he bring JWOW she'd look great in a uniform!
OT source says that they are going to disband most of the Terrorist Unit now that Osama is dead. Unit 704 to be disbanded, all assigned sent back to districts, and 701 is losing approx 75 po's back to districts, as activity shows the unit is not worth the 200 officers they have assigned.
Osama's famous last words........ "I need a house full of Navy Seals like I need a hole in the head"
You have to love the give-me, give-me alderfools.
Here is a quote from Ald. Howard Brookings 21st. ward.
He's not [really] African American. He was born in Haiti. [...]. This statement is about Chicago School Board CEO Jean Claude Brizard, in Todays Sun-Times pg. 3, in an article about a lack of black department heads.
What does skin color have to do with being a good leader?
Rahm stated he wanted the best and in this round Rahm decided the best were people that were.
What would you say if the appointees were Hispanic or Asian? Tge same thing I'm sure.
Stop crying race and earn your keep Brookings.
Just got off the phone with a buddy of mine who worked with Garry in the 46 in 1986. According to him, he is a cops cop. He always went to bat for his guys even after he went to castle. Says if you get behind him he will take care of you. If you act like a dick, he will treat you like one.
I asked him about this so called ticket issue. NJ guy gave his wife a speeding ticket, even after she showed the copper her husband card. So some words were shared between NJ and NYPD that made it to the news.
So Welcome and I hope for the best.
I'd love to know how he is going to get rid of incompetant supervisors. We have had incompetant personnel throughout all ranks in just the last 17+ years that I've been on. Sometimes having a contract can be a burden as well as protection when it comes to idiots on any type of job. Even the goofs are safe!
What's the deal with the Lady who Rahm named public safety something or another ? She had 10 yrs on and left to become a chef and now she's overseeing us.? WTF. This sounds goofier than J-Fleds crap ! Is she still gonna pick up her kids in a squad car ?
Hope he looks real hard at command line of investigative services. Last week a Lt. Got dumped on a Friday afternoon as he was leaving work and was told to report to 010 for midnight watch. He was replaced with someone else IF the 35th st boys were men, they would have gave the Lt at least a little time to accept the move. But to screw another one of their own white shirts someone left their balls at home with the wife. If that didn't boost moral, 35th wants all working at Homan in uniform, AND have the MERF truck along with the forensic trucks out on "patrol". That should help response time to a scene. ( just kidding). It seems like these decision makers should all ride the short bus to work. Oh no one is taking credit for any of the changes as usual. A few more years and freedom from this kind of bs :-).
Experience experience experience not he's my guy or that's my boy
Too many Chiefs not enough Indians. Get rid of all those incompetent deputy dogs & chiefs of this & that. Sadly I agree with the first post...after awhile he'll just say," Fuck it"!!
Mr. McCarthy,
When I first heard an outsider named Jody Weis was going to be appointed superintendent, I felt hope. As a hardworking officer without any political connections (also known as clout) I hoped that Weis might make promotions and details to specialized units more legit. Ability is what our department should value, not a phone call. This never happened. Some might argue that Weis actually made the process worse, promoting more "merit" officers from his circle than previous superintendents. After a short time it was clear that Weis did not have the skill set necessary to run a large police department. I still cannot believe the damage just one man has done to our once great department.
Now we are awaiting another outsider. That's fine with me. Don't believe the media. I really don't care if you choose to wear the uniform or not. I don't care that you aren't "one of our own." In all honesty, I believe that you were the most qualified of the finalists for the position. Unlike Weis, I believe you do have the skills to become a competent superintendent here.
In the past I would have said that clout was the largest problem facing the department. In this post-Weis era, I would have to say de-policing is now the greatest obstacle to overcome. Older officers have thrown in the towel, and surprisingly, so have younger officers. It seems that many officers that came on the job during Weis's catastrophic tenure were never taught how to be the police. Many new guys instead learned how to de-police. It will take many years to reverse this sad state of affairs. You can start reversing this process by simply showing that you are there to support us in our role as police officers.
Back to clout. Make this place legit. Promote some people off of those lists. Create a legitimate application process for specialized units like narcotics, vice, and gang intelligence. The phone call should not rule all.
Good luck.

The model for Chicago or any other town, village or city should resemble what occurs on a Navy vessel during emergencies.
Whether on or off duty, personnel should respond to prearranged marshaling locations and/or key facilities and remain there, awaiting further orders or until properly relieved.
It seems as if during 9/11 everybody was trying to get to ground zero. Admirable, in a sense, but not necessarily prudent or wise.
Responses should be modeled to a certain degree on what occurs on Aircraft Carriers during emergencies.
Obama told the navy seal to take him out he wanted bin Laden to see who was taking him out. face to face, Obama know who was the better man by far.
the Navy Seal put a bullet in his head no questions asked " the last face bin laden saw was an American

So were the people in the World Trade Center in 2001!

It just does not work that way. Whoever is in charge will do exactly as they are told or they would not be getting the job.
This applies to all city leadership positions,not just CPD or the school system.

Is he going to shave?
I pray his first appointment is not a disappointment.
Knowing how most exempts got their gold stars; McCarthy should examine the candidates ability to think on their feet and not phone a friend as most of these skunk politicos do.

Kill clout promotions? How in the hell do think McCarthy rose thru the the ranks in N.Y. so fast. Wake up stupid he is clout personified
I've always been a proponent of bringing back the Office of the First Deputy. They should staff that position with a solid, experienced veteran exempt who's had serious time in Patrol as well as some specialized units. If the new Supt rolls with that idea then we may be on our way back to where we should be. Back in the day, the First Deputy essentially ran the operational end of the Department and that concept worked very well - for many decades.
HOnestly he should not be a big deal. He is not Jodi and that is an improvement!!!! BAsed on his experience he will not have to go through a full academy. It would be stupid for him to do so. Illinois requires an out of state officer to attend a 40 hour law review class, a firearms qual which could consist of a 40 hour course or a 4 hour qual and a 200 question exam. THat is all Illinois requires to get a waiver of training in Illinois. Everybody was pissed because a fed wore the uniform and NEVER was the police. This man was the police and there is no question about it. He EARNED the right to wear a police uniform whether it is Chicago or not is kinda moot at this point. He is a cop and that is what CPD has always needed.
Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel today will introduce Newark, N.J. , police chief Garry McCarthy as Chicago’s new police superintendent, sources said, gambling that McCarthy’s big city experience will overcome the fact that he is another outsider.
Big city experience please 277,000 people probably a little less and 26 square miles ( size of 016 ).
ummm, most of his career was in new york city which has 8.1 million people. Chicago only has 2.8. Why do we in chicago have to think that the world revolves around us and that we have the worst ghettos in the world and most violence. I visited new york years ago and Drove through the projects over there and after working 4 years in housing south and two years in housing west in the 90s the new york projects are 10 times worse than ours ever were. give the guy a little credit. I hate to say it but NYPD is much better, well trained and flat out have better policeman than cpd does. Politics is not a huge problem in new york, sure it exists but your bosses are hard workers who worked the street and qualified... in this cesspool we cant even get a car that works and are so lazy that most will not even cut someone a report... enough with the macho "CPD is the toughest attitude". this department is a joke and it is filled with a bunch of jokes... Just look at all the dog asses, the fools in MSF and TRU and the idiots running the show.

Why don't you mind your own business? What do you care if someone abuses the medical? There might come a day where you find yourself with a recurring illness or something.
Take care of yourself...you are not the boss of anybody else.
5/03/2011 05:41:00 AM
Either you are a real scumbag or you're just an idiot. If somebody has a recurring illness or legitimate medical problems, that is not abuse. Abuse of the medical is when all these lazy cry baby fakers think that they have better things to do than come to work with their supposed brothers and sisters. We're out here busting our asses everyday while they think they're above this job. I know a guy who was on the medical for almost a year. When I asked him what was wrong he said nothing, that he was just trying to get his three businesses up and running. Then he said, "oh, I mean my back." So they catch him doing things one would not be able to do with an injured back and he ended up getting fired for ABUSING THE MEDICAL. Unfortunately he somehow ends up getting his job back.
Out with the old, in with the new. Dump the old lists and give new tests.

Are you kidding?
Gary is a prince of a boss.
Well respected by all that worked for him.
@ 0830 hrs., he was Deputy Commisioner at NYPD before New Jersey! Let's see, NYPD with 40,000 coppers and 9 million population! Is that big city experience or is that too small for you dumb fuck. Do some research asshole before you type shit on the blog.
To me this appointment makes perfect sense. Why promote somebody who was brought up through the ranks of the "former" regime on the fifth floor?
1245 justed treated me!
A new Superintendent and a new Mayor in the same week. Despite what you may have heard, the majority of the rank and file look forward to the new day. It's kind of like the first day of school. You hope you got a good teacher.
Please don't wear the uniform. We know you were the Police and that's fine. You can be a civilian administrator and we can respect that. The uniform will never quite look right.
Please don't go to the Academy. It is not necessary and quite frankly it is beneath you and will look like you are pandering.
Good luck. We hope you succeed, really.
5/03/2011 07:33:00 AM
He's actually been the police, so I don't care so much if he wears the uniform.
But I REALLY agree with the pandering comment.

Schenkel is a stand up guy who tried to make good cops but Daley dumped him. As far as his recent assignment it failed do to bureaucratic nonsense ala Daley.
Welcome aboard Marine. A sailor in the know.
Al Wisinger will be 1st deputy. You heard it here first!
good luck mr mccarthy, you will need it.
get rid of the clout promotions, its the biggest morale killer in the dept.
He might even seek advice from someone besides the reverends and gang leaders.

He's a cop. He has done time in a beat car. I have no problem with him putting on the uniform on day one. Welcome Boss.

I attended the ceremony today at FOP. I was surprised at the low turnout and attendance from the academy? They lost a valued officer? This is hard to understand that they did not show support in the memory of Thor Soderberg? Maybe they might pay respect in Springfield this week if Howard can get his act together? Hello!

Illness=using the medical (not abusing it) It becomes OUR business when the abusers (a tiny minority of the department) jeopardizes the system for the rest of us
Why do I feel like a rat in a lab experiment?

What a stupid response. No one said anything about someone with recurring medical issues. The problem is with people who abuse the medical. They leave their peers shorthanded when they are not ill.
Hey, New Guy! Schenkel was also the first Civilian put in charge of the academy somewhere around 10 years ago, and he did an excellent job there until he was replaced with a continuing parade of losers.
Know your history!
Hey asshole, I'm not a new guy so go F%$Ck yourself. He's been run out of more places than your average JOE, if he was afraid to hold those accountable in the "G" that screwed up, than he'll be just another puppet here, like what Rahm wants. Now go do YOUR research Punk!
Start a list of coppers that would make good bosses
You guys all crack me up, if you go back and look at the blog entries when Weis was made,the same idiots are on there saying how wonderful everything will be and give the guy a chance.
What a bunch of CHUMPS, this is Chicago, nothing will change!!!
Please look at all these 2 and 3 times promoted merit hack commanders and deputy chiefs. Ala carothers,Alexander,Florez,Martin,
Welch..and the list goes on and on and on...Dump them and put in some qualified people that the rank and file will respect. Do that and you will be on the right track and win over quite a few souls. Amen
I think it will be interesting to see what kind of strategies McCarthy implements and what changes he will make.
If I can recommend some. We need better training, there's no other way of putting it. We need ONE true City Wide Unit that is correctly utilized and has only the most qualified officers and supervisors.
I know this might be silly to some, because it's mostly based off of TV shows, but I repeatedly see K-9's being used with a lot of frequency. Be it too search cars or for bad guys. I would love to see one K-9 officer in each district on each watch. But if that can't happen at least two K-9's in each area.
There is few things he can really do without the city hiring more officers. It will be difficult for him.
As C.O., Garry McCarthy had three commands, the first two in Manhattan [20th Pct.: Upper West Side and 33rd Pct.: Washington Heights]. Before being promoted to Deputy Commissioner for Operations, his last command was Brooklyn's 70th Pct.: Flatbush.

It was over 11 years ago and I don't know how excellent the job he did was. I think I saw his face once the entire time I was in the academy. If he wasn't there at all I don't think it would have made any difference.
I asked him about this so called ticket issue. NJ guy gave his wife a speeding ticket, even after she showed the copper her husband card. So some words were shared between NJ and NYPD that made it to the news.
So Welcome and I hope for the best.

See how in favor of madatory power tests you are when you're 60 with injuries and illnesses youngster. Things are going to change for you over the next 30 years on this job so be careful what you wish for. You're not going to be in your 20's forever hotshot.
"It might be the model that local police agencies should pursue," McCarthy told the Tribune. "(Chicago) should probably have a robust component for counterterrorism."
Yeah, maybe we should probably do something like that, sort of, as long as it doesn't interfere with the Ceasefire model as "the future of policing," as Weis II here believes.
We need to sit down with Al Quaida and make it really clear to them that the community doesn't aprove of their actions, and that they're headed for big trouble if they don't straighten up and fly right.
If he really doesn't want to stand by and accept incompetent supervisors, than he'll do away with merit promotions and promote all of the guys that actually scored high enough to get promoted. From a guy who knows no one and wasn't told what to study. Supt. McCarthy? Are you listening?
1) who cares about "wearing the Uniform" he's a cop , from a police family..from a bigger department than ours. besides our acadamy is a joke-its not like we went through navy seals training or something.
2) who cares about goatees, its 2011 not 1951
3) "merit" promotions = morale killer and is why we have no competent bosses in the highest ranks of the department.

Are you a complete moron, or do just not do well with comprehension? He said that he wanted the abusers to be outed, not eliminate the medical for people with legitimate medical issues. We need to keep the medical system in its current form for as long as possible, but that will only be possible by policing ourselves. The more medical abusers that we uncover, the better the chance that we can keep the current system for years to come.

I would there rather be mandatory spelling tests. If you can't spell, you can't get a paycheck because there would be a spelling question every payday.
I count 4 (four, or is it fore?) misspellings in your 43 word post plus two punctuation errors.

Hey asshat. I can go out and do the job everyday, which I still love. But I as many coppers with 20 plus have had the hell beat out of their body to the point I cannot do the run. There are many of us who have suffered back, knee and other injuries from years of running, fighting, falling and squad car accidents. Doesn't mean we can't and won't do the job. Quite the opposite. So take your hairgel, leather glove wearing ass and go fuck yourself. At least when us old timers, who can't pass the power test, catch them, we know exactly how to charge them. we don't stand there looking stupid.
To whomever posted about Gary Schenkel being a " good guy"- just another pol getting promoted.
That spot he took in the academy-- it cost some captain/lt. and exempt spot which cost some sgt. a lt.'s spot which cost some PO a Sgt.'s spot. Good guy unless you want to be promoted.
7:50.......Wrong!
"Florez" as you so ignorantly spell the name, was not "merit" for either the Sgt. or Lt. promotion.
I would take a broom stick over Weis....at least a broom stick wont run when there is shots fired. So this guy cant be worst

You must be one of the abusers. It's people like you who fucked up the system of calling in if you've only been on the medical for 3 days or less.
Why would you want to shut down highways or raise bridges? Have you ever seen what a panicked crowd will do?
Leave the bridges alone and have the highways go in one direction - OUT, like they do in hurricane country.
Yeah I'm sure Rahm picked out a great guy for us. Wake up from your fucking fairy tale! He's an outsider who doesn't know shit about Chicago. Rahm picked him to do his dirty work, fucking the coppers here. My grandma knows more about the streets of Chicago than this east coast clown!

Anyone who would use the word flunky associated with Schenkel probably never met him. He was a gentleman and a leader when I knew him. I would say he was one of the very few bosses I ever met on CPD with any class.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but in good conscience I can't watch a decent guy have his reputation smeared without speaking up.
Hope he looks real hard at command line of investigative services. Last week a Lt. Got dumped on a Friday afternoon as he was leaving work and was told to report to 010 for midnight watch. He was replaced with someone else IF the 35th st boys were men, they would have gave the Lt at least a little time to accept the move. But to screw another one of their own white shirts someone left their balls at home with the wife. If that didn't boost moral, 35th wants all working at Homan in uniform, AND have the MERF truck along with the forensic trucks out on "patrol". That should help response time to a scene. ( just kidding). It seems like these decision makers should all ride the short bus to work. Oh no one is taking credit for any of the changes as usual. A few more years and freedom from this kind of bs :-). That idiot needed to go and the commander should be next,along with the afternoon sgt. They have that place so screwed up everyone us leaving and please look into the ot for a select few who sit around all day doing nothing!

Some day someone who really is sick won't be able to go on sick leave for 360 days due some real injury because a bunch of dog asses like yourself abused the system with their false claims and demands a "no question asked" policy.
"Either you are a real scumbag or you're just an idiot. If somebody has a recurring illness or legitimate medical problems, that is not abuse. "

The parade of loosers contiues today with Howard in charge. Is it possible that the academy could fall any lower in quality and morale with Howard in charge? Schenkel was a excellent leader who understood how to train recruits like he did with marines. Even Tobias was a great leader with high standards for the staff. But Howard? Every day is a new adventure with Howard. Help!

This is hard to understand that they did not show support in the memory of Thor Soderberg? Maybe they might pay respect in Springfield this week if Howard can get his act together? Hello!
Maybe we would have been there if we were invited? No one knew about the ceremony until last night. Only 6 people were going to Springfield on their own dime too. Sad isn't it?
The more medical abusers that we uncover, the better the chance that we can keep the current system for years to come
for example... there is a guy in a Northwest side district that was dunped from tac that was on the medical for almost six months ...but he got caught/investigated by IAD playing hockey (he claims that his doctor said it was good therapy)....What do ya think is gonna happen to him???
To give the reader an estimate of the population of Newark, New Jersey's most populous city, CPD Zone 12 (Districts 015 and 025) would have a comparably-sized population of about 280,000 people.
The population of New York City* is about three times larger than Chicago.

Schenkel was a breath of fresh air to the academy. He brought leadership and discipline when none existed. He was dumped by politics from Cline. Cline was a master politican. After Tobias left, the academy fell apart. Shall we say "clueless"! Without a leader? Wait till McCarthy visits the academy he will be in for a huge surprise.
Al Wisinger will be 1st deputy. You heard it here first!
-----
What is a "1st Deputy?"
Did you get that info on a "tele-type" from "Operations Command" or from a "Youth Officer" from "Area 6"
Maybe it was from your friend who is a "patrol specialist" when you called him to see if he has an extra "call box key" that you lost in your FUCKIN' TIME-WARP you MORON.
MANDATORY POWER TEST TO GET A RAISE, ETC>>>> are you fucking soft--- ever look at a guy real close who has been humping a beat car for twenty plus years--- even the guys who are in decent shape have issues with backs, knees, and anything else you can think of--- we have all not been afforded a desk spot right after we got off probation--- you sir/mam have just won the asshole of the month award for your dumb post...
Why don't you mind your own business? What do you care if someone abuses the medical? There might come a day where you find yourself with a recurring illness or something.
Take care of yourself...you are not the boss of anybody else.
***********************************a "reccuring illness" is NOT abuse, idiot! And it does affect us, because if the medical policy is changed because of the abusers, then when one DOES get a legit reoccuring illness or injury, it won't be available.
Mc Carthy is just Weis warmed over. Yes he was the police in New York, but not Chicago. He does not deserve to wear our uniform! If he came to do a job, that would not even matter to him. He did not care to wear the uniform of the department he just left of only 2200. Also, he was arrested and convicted. How can you have him represent us. This is all a total slap in the face. None of our own were good enough? I bet he brings in a whole crew with him also over outside hired hacks, add more to the CPD bill, very few new hires for us, more old time bosses retiring, well the hand full we have, and all of our true history is gone. You are left with useless people like Deputy Chief Dana Alexender who was promoted from 004 with the worst numbers city wide and made a fucking Dep. Chief, Deputy Chief Eddie Welch who has never worked in Patrol as a Lt. or Commander, but he is over 5 of the worst Districts, Commanders, Carothers, Waller, Ball and Staples who are worthless. You have even more upper level worthless Exempts like Debra Kirby who is soaked with scandel cover ups as long as they were her friend or friend of a friend, Constantine Andrews who has never worked the street in any capacity, what exactly does he do? You have Roti and O'Grady who never worked in a District but making decisions on efforts that effect the Districts, why do you have TRU and MSF fully manned and none of the Districts they are assigned to assist is even half way manned. You have EB, SP and BM as Deputy Supt. Enough said.
I am pissing myself out more typing this shit and thinking about how fucked up this place is. Now we have to add an outsider into our mix of shit!

people bitch and bitch about merit promotions, does that mean all people who pass a test are good supervisors? FUck no!!!
Linda Flores is a shiny example, she passed both her promotion tests but is a complete incompetent fool. Just another person who is book smart not street smart, and uses yelling as a intimidating tool.
Merit needs to be there, but it needs to be legitizmized
Superintendent McCarthy,
I beg you to ask the rank and file about Gene Williams. He would be a disaster for you and this department. His ties to Chicago reverends are bordering criminal. He will force thier agenda on you. Please ask the rank and file about Al Wysinger, Jimmy Jackson, or Juan Rivera. Good men with no agenda other than making this a safer city and better department.
This guy was like Rambo with the NYPD. At least that's what our NYPD bros are saying. We'll see; it'd be nice. Maybe us blue shirts in beat cars will be viewed as the real police by 35th St for a change.
Hope he looks real hard at command line of investigative services. Last week a Lt. Got dumped on a Friday afternoon as he was leaving work and was told to report to 010 for midnight watch. He was replaced with someone else IF the 35th st boys were men, they would have gave the Lt at least a little time to accept the move. But to screw another one of their own white shirts someone left their balls at home with the wife. If that didn't boost moral, 35th wants all working at Homan in uniform, AND have the MERF truck along with the forensic trucks out on "patrol". That should help response time to a scene. ( just kidding). It seems like these decision makers should all ride the short bus to work. Oh no one is taking credit for any of the changes as usual. A few more years and freedom from this kind of bs :-).

Beleive me this ass lt has fucked over alot of people what goes around comes around, we are all hoping the commander is next bring him to 35th street so he can be under a light.
It was over 11 years ago and I don't know how excellent the job he did was. I think I saw his face once the entire time I was in the academy. If he wasn't there at all I don't think it would have made any difference.

Years ago, met the Marine at HQ the day he interviewed with the Superintendent. For various reasons, ended up spending more time with him than the boss spent with him. Usually not impressed with upper echelon types or people alleged to be charismatic, but Schenkel was very impressive in conversation and appearance. His military uniform was impeccable and he was very personable, in that he was polite and respectful to all, even the lower eschelon employees, which was not the norm for most of the big cheeses visiting or working at HQ. Cannot speak for how he ran the academy, but can say, his first impression was pretty damn good. Dealt with a lot of "outsiders" within our midst and 99.9% of them were total assholes. Schenkel was not one of them. Just saying.
He isnt changing anything....Compstat is patrol driven and does nothing but created fear among bosses who pass it down...shit rolls downhill. Unts are already salvating and planning on expanding their personnel. Sorry folks, nothing is going to change. There wil be no change but in patrol, and westill will play secondfiddle to units such a the oversized OCD filled with hacks.
My morale is way up, you can wear my uniform boss.
If McCarthy cleans up the Med Sec of all the abusers as he did in prior assignment it would be great.

Why don't you mind your own business? What do you care if someone abuses the medical? There might come a day where you find yourself with a recurring illness or something.
Take care of yourself...you are not the boss of anybody else.
5/03/2011 05:41:00 AM
Exactly!! And the ones that will and have legitimately used the medical section are the ones that get screwed! Some people need to mind their own business and hope they're not put in a situation where they have to be on extended medical.
OK, Garry here is your road map.
1. Eliminate 20 -30 exempt spots. Most of your command staff were over promoted at sergeant. We are totally top heavy.
2. Hire John Farrell as either the chief of dicks or first deputy. This alone will tie morale to a rocket. Mr. Farrell knows who can and cannot lead, who are and are not the police still.
3. Eliminate either TRU or MSF return everybody back to the districts. Downsize the remaining unit into a quick strike, mobile, crime suppression unit. I really like what MSF has done in regards to additional training, scedule etc.
4. Eliminate GEU again back to the districts. Same with gun teams, CAGE teams and every other wothless unit we created and depleted patrol.
5. Half narcotics, vice, etc. Back to the districs for you too.
6. Streamline, the detective division, police officers can do their own burglaries, thefts etc. You might want to restructure violent crimes so that a sergeant and dicks are assigned to a team similar to the way the G works. Both the dicks and the team leads need to be held accountable for the clearance rate as well as timely submission for reports etc.
7.Back your front line supervisors, expect them to supervise and enforce a uniform standars, hair standard in addition to motivating their subordinates. Members above the rank of sergeant should support their front line supervision also.
8. Be prepared to battle the Cook County States Attorneys Office, you see we have this thing called felony review (FRU). FRU drives investigations, decides what if any charges are going to be approved and the bar for that approval continues to get highter. Your current command staff either will not or cannot get involved in calling FRU on their decisions that directly impact public safety.
9. Make tactical teams just that. MAke you r better aggessive officers want to go to tact with enticements such as additional training etc.
10. Finally, we have alot, I MEAN ALOT of police officers of all ranks, colors and gender that never had ANY intention of being the police. This was a pay check and nothing more. The officers work and act accordingly. We don't get much out of them. With our manpower shortage the need to identify and motivate these officers. The sense of entitlement is staggering and frightening.
Good Luck
did anyone know that Mike Shields had a press conference about McCarthy appointment on Monday? Did Pat Camden help get out the word? did you think about putting it on the FOP website? or did you think about it and then decide not to? (better question, I think)
Schenkel was horseshit. The police academy is NOT the Marine Corp and certainly doesn't need to be run that way to turn out productive and well trained recruits.
Can't understand how he got the job with his daughter's parking ticket fiasco, which escalated into a brawl involving his wife. I am 4th generation cop family. The first rule was "Don't get in trouble or I'll kick your ass." The second rule was "If you get in trouble and embarass me by mentioning my name I'll kick your ass twice." Christ, I remember frantically paying off speeding tickets with my babysitting money so my Dad wouldn't find out about them. And McCarthy throws a hissy because Precious Princess gets a parking ticket?? Are you guys really thrilled about him?
Please look at all these 2 and 3 times promoted merit hack commanders and deputy chiefs. Ala carothers,Alexander,Florez,Martin,
Welch..and the list goes on and on and on...Dump them and put in some qualified people that the rank and file will respect. Do that and you will be on the right track and win over quite a few souls. Amen
I agree, he should look at and interview all of those with 2 or 3 merit promotions. After a short interview, I believe he will be smart enough to make some moves for the better of this deppartment before it is WAY to late.
I guess no one's noticed that this toughguy already intends to pull a "Masters" and take his 2 hour class, have someone else take the state test for him just so he can pull the same shit as Weisel and wear OUR uniform without ever earning it on OUR streets.
Same shit, different day. A wannabe Chicago Cop gets the top job AND he gets to act like he's a Chicago copper by wearing OUR uniform without ever having earned the right to wear it.
Nice move, slick. Mistake #1 out of how many more to come?
Wear OUR uniform, YOU FAIL AS A BOSS IN CHICAGO!!!
*******
What are you talking about? Earning it on the streets? If I remember correctly, we all wore the uniform right after we got our stars in the academy. At least he wants to go through the academy. Give him a break. You make no sense. STFU!
Schenkel was a excellent leader who understood how to train recruits like he did with marines. Even Tobias was a great leader with high standards for the staff.
dude stop complianing, you got a clout gig at the academy, nobody want to hear you whining, jeez man!!!
I guess we must be moving up in the world at CPD. The last Superintendant looked like the banjo boy from deliverance. This new guy Garry "Cliff Clavin" McCarthy from the bar where everybody knows your name CHEERS!!!
if McCarthy runs this Dept. anything like Calvin delvered mail...we are in for some real interesting times here at CPD.
Seems incredible that Sgt. J.C. you know the big Guy in MSF is telling all that he will be getting a spot from the new Sup, he says he knows him from the CPD Enforcers and that they are good, real good pals, This guy is a dreamer and doesn't realize that his family name is not worth anything in politics anymore, he is in for a real RUDE awakening.
From a Sun Times article:
Picture a guy standing on a street corner drinking a beer.
Cops stop to talk to him. They find two guns on him. And when they take him to the police station, they learn he just got out of prison for shooting someone on the same corner.
That happened in Newark, N.J., shortly after Garry McCarthy became police director there in 2006.
And it’s the type of bust that McCarthy — who was named Chicago Police superintendent Monday — would like to see here.
What the Fu%$ does our new leader think we do? Nothing? A slap in the face to all the hard working police officers in Chicago, already. Yeah, OK big city cop...show us how it's done. Not a good start, Mr. McCarthy
What is a "1st Deputy?"
Did you get that info on a "tele-type" from "Operations Command" or from a "Youth Officer" from "Area 6"
Maybe it was from your friend who is a "patrol specialist" when you called him to see if he has an extra "call box key" that you lost in your FUCKIN' TIME-WARP you MORON.
**********************************\
i guess YOU are the MORON newbe.
they announced last week that they are going to bring back the position of 1st deputy to run the day to day operations of the department. per Rhams request. so tone it down
TO: Is it 1970 ? ? ? ?
1st deputy spot was there till about 5 or so years ago so i dont know why you are talking about 1970..what do you have 2 years on?
Mr McCarty beware of the lies and conspiracies this is a new day and not for the better. The CPD has been numbed down.
The #1 problem we have is "CRAP" leadership! Meritorious, phone call promotions to the top positions have destroyed our dept. Unqualified idiots in leadership spots!!!
#2 is training. watching A video is NOT training. Except for minor things, or informational purposes.
#3 Dissemination of Info. In the computer age our roll calls are a joke! No wanted vehs, no wanted people, no serious info for a shift coming on. no national terrorist announcements unless it's major.
Felicia Davis? Key word there is "Davis"
Superintendent McCarthy
assign all the desk dollies male and female back to a beat car
demote all exempts with 2 or 3 merit promotions , can't pass a test but are running the CPD
reduce number of exempts by 25 %
reassign crime lab technicians to the Detective Division , we could use the help investigating crimes
why are crime lab techs allowed to sit around and wait for a murder or agg battery , have sgts write tickets and supervise beat officers , to many officers are leaving early , poor supervision
captain rank should be eliminated , most captains like your command staff never passed a sgt or lt test , political merit appointments , hire civilians or retired officers to guard the parking lot at Homan Square and Police Headquarters , it works well at OEMC
# 1 ? will McCarthy be able to have supervisors require all officers to wear the correct uniform and enforce grooming standards in district and units
that'll be a tough 1 because cpd supervisors are afraid to enforce rules and regulations
now that cpd has a new boss , will someone investigate the hundreds of illegal food vendors in the
10th police district
who's protecting the unlicensed vendors , everyone knows there are no free rides in chicago
time for a new commander
I love you SCC :*
