Double Counting Again
Rahm's campaign pledge to put 1,000 more officers on the street continues to gather a smell around it, not unlike the alewives that wash ashore on beaches across Chicagoland:
- Ninety-two police officers from administrative positions and some new recruits will be placed on street beats, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Dept. Supt. Garry McCarthy announced Sunday during a press conference at a Far South Side park.
[...] Of these 92 officers, 53 are graduated recruits from the Chicago Police Academy. - Starting July 21st, the 53 Probationary Police Officers, who graduated from the Police Academy last spring, will be deployed to districts 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 24.
So 53 of these officers, who have already been on the street since last spring, are finally off probation, so Rahm's going to count them as "on the street"?
Just where the hell did they serve their probation then?
Redeploying almost 500 officers from a couple of street unit into districts might give the districts more flexibility in terms of addressing localized problems, but it isn't putting officers "on the street" by any stretch of the imagination. Neither is this.
Unless of course you're the Chicago Sun Times sucking on Rahm's ass in an attempt to build up his record for a future senate or presidential run - then it's gold, especially to the uninformed.

Is the Fucking Media That Fucking Dumb? These recruits have been working the streets already and on their probation. The only thing that changed is they are permately being asigned to thier respective District of assignment. SO NO FUCKING NEW OFFICERS ON THE STREET! Fucking News Media should take a simple math course, LOL!!! Dummies
Wow! Wtf are we coming 2?!,,,,,?
Smoke and mirrors is the order of the day. If Da mayor can't tell the truth about manpower it will never get better
I'm too bored with the whole thing to go do the legwork for the media, but any 'reporter' worth their netbook could just do a google search and find a quote or two where Rahm has ALREADY stated that he's (previously) counted this class of recruits in the totals (back around the time they graduated, perhaps).
Then, that reporter could just total up the single counts and the false double-counts and have a really nifty article he could entitle, "The emperor has no clothes" or some such cleverness.
Face it, Chicago; we just don't have enough police to adequately protect you. And we SURE don't have enough to handle a G8 or a natural disaster or a terrorist act.
***POP***POP***POP***
Cha-ching, ch-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching....
Count 'em! That's four police involved shootings in the last 24 hours and we're not double counting that.
Wow 024 seriously come on now
I was off yesterday so when I go in today Rahm will count me as an extra officer he put on the street.
The Rhamster is going to play this numbers game until it gets cold outside. He is only trying to buy time until he can figure out how to hire more cops. I think the city wants to bring down the authorized strength to about 10,000. They probably think they can handle the crime with that number. We have lost 200,000 bodies since the last census so we will probably lose more in the coming years. And at the rate the gangsters and cops are icing the competition there will be even less.
Speaking of... When are we going to find out where we are going after out detail?
The PPOs have been in the Districts since training began. This is all "Smoke and Mirrors"! The Mayor and the Supt. should both be embarassed for the cover up.
my partner ate a big burrito...we re counting him twice.
The mayor looked scared in roseland when confronted by a rev. Livingston .and supt of police looked stupid duh what should I do should i stop and wait ir should i run to see if i can located joey weiss lol .and of course alderman bitch have to act like he was rahm bodyguard you were elected to answers question not walk away from a black man who is asking it , did u call ex mayor rich dick for answers it's like a circus to many clowns running city hall.
OT: Anyone have the 411 on the new Chief of Staff appointed the 15th per a personnel order, Robert Tracy? Is he the Supes guy or did Rahm appoint him, like Daley did?
Chicagoans love it when politicians lie to them. They have grown accustomed to this under Daley.
When a politician tells the truth, it's strange and frightening to them. They want to be lied to.
When Rahm puts 200 recruits in the academy in September, they'll hail him as a conquering ruler because that is where the last 250 will come from.
Just wait and see. He'll say he got 1000 when they start in September.
anyone wonder why this country produces politicians, police chiefs, etc., who either cannot, or will not, speak honestly.....i.e., the truth. Why is that so difficult, and why do folks who speak honestly, or are willing to offer an honest opinion, even if it goes "against the boss", not promoted, or do not advance on their jobs...come to think of it, maybe there should be a ribbon called "I'm a yes man!"
there area 10 police officers left in communications - well really 20 if this reasoning holds up - -
They are going to be walking a beat..lets hope its not by themselves..nothing like being on foot and being a target..
Better than having the recruits deployed downtown standing on the corners texting and smoking. No adult supervision, just playing on their phones ignoring the general public at large.
Months of idle hours with no instruction. You have very likely ruined those PPOs for the rest of their careers. The lazy ones now know how little they can do. The average ones will be less than average. The ones with possibility have to dig themselves out of a hole.
What a waste our FTO program has turned into. They used to set the tone for our Department.
The lying media are getting out the Emanual propaganda that he has put 750 more cops on the street. Huh???
“We have gone through line by line … to get to a total of 750 officers who are now out in our communities and our neighborhoods and our blocks throughout our city,” Emanuel announced at Palmer Park in Roseland, a neighborhood routinely among the hardest hit by violent crime."
Like the 24th district needs more cops.

Looked at that also, the mayor was scared and macletmegonow had no idea how to stand up to this goof! Boys and girls we are in for a wild ride!
quit beefin 400 house cats on the street means more chance of us receiving a pay raise next contract
now let's fire the medical rill abusers and place non IOD officers on disability pension
Also, they did not mention the loss of manpower due to retirements, disabbility and just plain wuiting due to lack of faith in the new mayor and his hired clown.
Chicagoans are dumb, they have to be. They believe whatever King Richard and now whatever Rahm says as the "truth". People need to wake up and smell the truth. The Mayor and The Supt keep telling lie after lie and the only people that see's through the smoke and mirror show are the police, but nobody cares what we say.
what's the average monthly retirement number
as a retired po
am I counted in the rham meter
when I return to the city (O'Hare)
catching my flights OUT to safer and more exotic destinations such as
detroit, atlanta, or even missouri?

Do you think all of the illegals in this sanctuary city filled out the census? If you do, you're a fool. There are WAY more people in this city than are counted. How many illegals showed up for the protest marches? That's just a fraction of what's out there and we have to handle their domestics, drunk driving, gang banging and dope slinging.
This is bull.......what I also want to know is how these idiots picked and chose who got tossed from the inside spots for that 90 day detail and are they REALLY due to go back to their units after the 90 days...didnt Rahm just make a comment that CPD doesnt train cops to work inside????? Have you been at the Academy and HQ.....Im still seeing plenty of blue in there, shaking in their boots....
24? Really? Which bosses kids got to go there?
the truth ? you cant handle the truth. dont pay attention to the man behind the curtain. the check is in the mail.thats my story and im sticking to it. hope and change the all time big lie. bottom line if a politician lips are moving,hes lying. trust me?
Way off topic: You need to be over 45 (because our liberal education system will not teach much about Vietnam) to remember the events which led to this but it is very good news!
On the we will never forget front, Jane "I sat with the enemy" Fonda was taken off of QVC after various veterans groups and individuals called the network to protest her appearance. Hey Jane, maybe sitting on the anti aircraft gun was not such a good idea after all! Because lady, some of us will NEVER FORGET!
Meanwhile, while all this bullshit is being thrown our way, how many officers are retiring each month? If anything we have less officers on the street now than when Rahm promised to put more officers on the street. This department is in deep shit.
@5:45 I pray you aren't the police with that incoherent post. Or if you are, hopefully you were really, really drunk.
lots of raps yesterday city wide on a sunday night--- police shootings in 006 and 025--- wed and thurs are supposed to be super hot with tropical level humidities--- keep your eyes open and stay safe.....
It's bigger than they are. They can't help themselves. They can't stop lying! And what passes for an independant press in chicago juct nods, rolls over on it's back, and hopes the liars will tickle their bellys

Right before roll call I looked in the mirror, does this count for 2?
If two P.O.'s are overweight by 60lbs. each does this count as one more P.O.?

OT - City Stickers. Scotch makes a sticker that you attach to the window and you place the city sticker on that. It pulls off with no residue. Sold at hardware stores.
If you lie enough people will eventually believe it.
New chief of staff is former NYPD Lt. Remember, Weis brought his guy in at first, too. BTW, that guy, Daly, just quit. Only one fed left, the guy at IAD. Time for him to go too.
More smoke and mirrors mcnuts just has his strings pulled like jfled did this time though by rahmbo! Mc cannot talk unless rahm tells him what to say! Where is the "I am going to meet with the street coppers" Mc been? The bosses at the top are also noticeably absent most of the time,when is the carnage and "change we can believe in" come? This guy is just "same old" shit. Nothing different just lies and more lies please boss take your ball and go home,or back to sabinas to pander! "Duh I ruined a crime scene with all the bullet casings caught in my shoes."
peaking of... When are we going to find out where we are going after out detail?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! You ain't going nowhere! rhammy has got you for good, notice there haven't been any openings in the districts? your staying put. They are gonna use the manpower emergency clause in your contract, just a big FUCK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK!
If we could do a Night of the Living Dead Pt. 4 we could seed our local cemeteries and come up with enough zombies to fill the ranks. Just put them in uniform and give them walking beats on the South and West sides. Keep them away from the lakefront and Near North areas. We of course will have to teach them not to bite and feed on the living unless they are gangbangers or politicians.
Yep, smells worse than alewives. And da mayor apparently thinks that nobody can do basic math.
I believe the 53 PPO's they are referring to are the ones assigned to the "window detail" on Michigan Ave. The same ones who couldn't go to the districts after they graduated because there were not enough FTO's. But now its ok for them to be out on the street....Go figure.
Is it just me or does anyone else who always worked the real street jobs in district and in uniform for a full tour...etc, hear alot of crying and freaking out from the Rahm Cpd tough love program of putting all the hired guns back on the street like they were hired for in the first place. Yes indeed thats several hundred or more to fill in the current retiree spots, hope they can still make it in the real world. Smiling Old School/No Fear
We got two people from HQ. The first one was detailed right back to HQ, and the second one is on the medical. Neither officer stepped foot in the dist but are listed in the manpower. More smoke & mirrors.
Next May the G-8 Summit will expose the criminal disregard of alloted manpower needs. At this writing the current manpower is between 8,500-9,000. The Dept is approx 4,000 officers down from the BUDGETED 13,000. The officers required to deal with the violent protesters will be largely drawn from the mass hiring in the early 1990's and be 45-55 yrs in age. The probability of death, and long term disability of middle aged officers required to deal with the mayhem will eventually cost the city millions in payouts to widows or I.O.D.'s. NOW is the time to start hiring and fill in the shortages of the rank and file, not feeding the media with blatant lies about nonexistant officers in a immoral shell game for the cameras.
It's the Rahm and Garry show,
Why stop there;
Count the sworn members of every rank and job title as they come off of full and split furloughs as "hitting the street".
Within two years you could put between 20,000 and 50,000 officers back on the street depending how they plan their furloughs. That's pretty good for a roughly 12,000 member department.
Rahm, you're a politician, we almost expect it out of you after watching shortshanks for so many years.
Garry, you sir are a disappointment. Between the church and the beach you skyrocketed to a dis-likable level only exceeded by J-Fled. After fibbing about the beach, and prostituting yourself at the church, you have got a lot of explaining to do before you become what everyone hoped you would be, a police superintendent, not a puppet.
Day in and day out when you show up to different functions and coppers acknowledge you, don't confuse that with respect.
They don't respect you. They respect your rank.
Police Officers fight crime on a daily basis in spite of you, not because of you, and your imagined leadership.
We don't need Nancy Pelosi to show up at Murder scenes.
WE NEED YOU TO BACK THOSE OF US THAT DO SHOW UP AT MURDER SCENES OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
That's what a good superintendent does. When the mayor tells the press with a straight face that he is putting all these police officers on the district beats you don't have to be over his shoulder. You can stand up and say in short that more police officers must be hired to fix the long term
crime problem.
If you are a leader you would get in front of a microphone and tell the press that too many police officers are getting injured and killed and we need more help.
But let's be real, you won't do that because you signed a deal with the devil before you were hired, in order to be hired.
Off Topic: Doty watch
A major meeting of the UCPD has been called for 22 July at the International House. The time hasn't been exactly set yet, but it is open to the public. Major announcements are supposed to be made at this meeting. We here at the UCPD suspect that our long suffering (incompetent) chief Marlon Lynch will be elevated to a full Vice Presidency here at the UCPD.
It isn't a surprise; Much like your CPD, some employees here with the U of C who have major clout (like your former Mayor) seem to 'rise to their level of incompetence,' much like at 3510. Unfortunately, there is a downside; as much as everyone would like to see the unlikeable and incompetent Lynch flee from our Dept. immediately and without much notice, the common and prevalent fear among those of us with no where else to go to work in the law enforcement field is that DOTY will be elevated to the position of Chief....and that is a horror show we don't even wish to consider. It has been hypothesized here that Doty would possibly be elevated to an Assistant Chief position, whereby he would be answerable to Lynch, who, even elevated to a full VP status on the U of C board, would still maintain overall control of the UCPD. Neither scenario is to our liking, and after Doty reached out and fired our two most senior watch commanders a few weeks ago (under the guise of 'budgetary concerns'), most every other supervisor is walking around on eggshells, popping antacids and antidepressants like they're Lifesavers candy.
The house of cards continues its upward spiral
in the U of C insane asylum. But what more can we expect, when the President of the University is actively shacking up in a downtown apt. with one of our professors here, while his wife and family languish in the President's official residence located on campus? One of our Sgts. here categorized this place as 'Peyton Place for geniuses.' It does appear to be so!
Ok I know about the double counting but at least a lot of these inside people will actually start earning their police salaries, we were all hired to be police officers, it pisses me off when people with connections go to administrative positions with only few years on the job
was mccarthy wearing body armour while in the field or does that just applay to blue shirts
so how is he counting all the officers detailed to other departments like fire, oemc, detached services?
Off topic, does anyone know what Keith Herrera's sentence was, I thought he was to be sentenced Jul 14?
How long is training in the police academy? Is it possible the new superintendent completed his training already?
Hey, let's count all the people who took the police test and passed. We can add another 3 to 4 thousands to the streets......OHHHH, maybe NOT!
Out and out lies!!! The mayor lies, the supt. lies. They all lie! Just makes me sick that the media can't figure out the simplist things. It is so very easy to see the lies and yet they report it as truth. The Union should step up and report all the lies the mayor and supt. are telling. It is just sick the lies that they tell with a straight face. Why can't anyone call them on it?
Despite the fact that "They" do appear to be moving through the hiring process, every time these numbers magically go up I wonder if I'm ever really going to get that call...
-Patiently waiting for the chance to wear the blue
At this rate, we will soon be at 15,500 officers, and the city will say they have too many and cannot pay for them!
Rahm will then terminate 4,000!

Can any coppers from NYPD tell us how transfers and assignments are done on NYPD.
With no openings for POs last month wondering if things be going NYPD.
Yeah... we peeped the bitch move 9.5 and g-mac pulled when the rev'run got up in that ass about lack of Police.
When confronted with someone bringing up an uncomfortable truth, they'll cut and run just like they did at palmer park.
Watch for this rev'run to have city inspectors all up in his ass like cheap tissue for em-bare-assing 9.5and g-mac.
What Does It All Mean?
Police manpower is most likely much lower than they're saying.
no more hits for us, dealer... we're standing pat on 8500 to 9000 total CPD.
...the dealer is going to bust when they finally turn their card.
9.5 & g-mac have a plan... they're just going to run, hide and lie until they figure out what it is.
Christ Almighty!
There's NO ONE in city government willing and able to tell the truth.
Maybe that's why they're taking such at hard run at Policemen...
Silence those who know what's going on and there will be no one left to sound the alarm.
It's not like the majority of citizens in Chicago are paying the fuck attention anyway so same as it ever was...
Early today the news reported Jessie White raised the saleries of 240 middle and upper management by a staggering 6%! Why are the papers letting him get away with this, every paper and news channel should be jumping on this story at time when thay call for goverment workers to take cuts and NO raises at all. They want theses employees to cut their benefits and pensions but they gave themselfs a nice raise to cover their own B U 7 7. Jessie has to go! The corruption never stops here the revolution is coming! Stop the free entitlements and free benefits for the ILLEGIALS we just can't afford it anymore!

Do not blame the PPO's. They did not receive the bare minimum training in the districts. They were assigned to Michigan Ave to hang around and be visible. They were on the street in the 018. Now they are reasigned to south side districts. How is that adding officers on the street? I am concerned about the recruits form the last class. Without proper follow up training from FTO's, thay will have problems on the street.

We got officers who were sent back to our district from units. They are not whining on my watch. They are just working like the rest of us. No one is complaining, we are glad to be able to take a day off with more officers here.
Can someone clarify something for me. When Housing was disbanded a number of years ago and again at the end of SOS there was a super bid 90 days later. Are the officers detailed out of MSF and TRU going to get the same chance.And if so will the mayor then get to add another 400 officers to his Back to the Streets initiative?

Re: Garry McCarthy's Chief-of-Staff
See THEE (NYPD) RANT thread entitled "Question from our Brother in BLUE in Chicago" by "19pct" about ex-NYPD (Capt.) Bob TRACY, a good friend of Garry McCarthy.
However, reliable NYPD sources say that McCarthy's Newark PD Chief-of-Staff, Constantine "Gus" MINIOTIS just resigned and will be coming to the CPD. Both TRACY and MINIOTIS are ex-NYPD.
Prior to making captain, McCarthy worked fast Bronx pcts. (45, Sgt. in 43 and Lt. in 44). Then he went to Manhattan North where he was the C.O. of the 20th (Upper West Side) and the 33rd (Washington Heights) Pcts. Then on to the 7-0 (Flatbush) in Brooklyn after then MOS Justin Volpe allegedly sodomized arrestee Abner Louima with a toilet plunger in the 70th Pct. bathroom.
Again, check THEE RANT for more...
Sooner or later they will have to do something about no one being inside. Like hire civilans or more p.o.'s

Around 20 weeks.. Give or take a few if they want to rush you through. But how does he run the department and get trained at the same time.
Bill: OT, but check it out:
From American Thinker
"Jonah Edelman, director of Stand for Children, and son of Peter and Marian Wright Edelman, spoke at a seminar on education reform. He was caught bragging (see video -- embedded below) about his involvement in undermining teachers' unions in Illinois.
It may look like business as usual for so-called education reformers to use lobbyists, PAC money, and influential politicians like Rahm Emanuel to get their agendas enacted, but Edelman gives us invaluable insight into the inner workings of a leftist's hardball approach to the opposition, in this case the unions. The end result was a power shift in the education platform."

The police department always gets ragged on as far as salaries and what-not, and how we're draining the city dry. Take a look at the city's budget numbers sometime and see who makes more than we do. I've got 20+ years on and they show my salary as 82878. Here are a few jobs that pay more than we get:
Civil engineer IV $96276
Electrical mechanic $84032

The N/E corner of 024 (on the lake no less)is an unmitigated shithole that is basically not patrolled due to lack of manpower. It is a shame we let that part of the City go.
You are wrong to celebrate clearing out the all the inside jobs, especially in the Districts. Civilians are not Police Officers and cannot be used for anything other than clerical work. They are not bodies we can use in a crisis.
Gmac sounds like a fun name in a 'we like you' sort of way. McNuts is so much better.

Around 20 weeks.. Give or take a few if they want to rush you through. But how does he run the department and get trained at the same time.

He doesn't take gym class, or reading comprehension, or go to the Art Institute to learn how to assess a crime scene from oil paintings (that one was outrageous, when the recruits did that last year).
He doesn't need the range time, since he's already allowed to carry a gun. Hmmm, so all he really needs is to learn Illinois law and General Orders, when you come right down to it.

San Diego is hiring, they wear blue. Better weather, less BS.

Ah, but cheesy as it may sound Chi-town is home. Despite all the BS and xxxtreme-bi-polar weather, for too many reasons to list, I love this city.

OT - City Stickers.

Hey Asshat, I've used this product for years with a car that is parked outside in East Rogers Park. And, I don't leave anything visible in my car to tempt thugs -- not that a '04 Corolla CE would tempt anyone anyhow.

Talk about Smoke and Mirrors, Capt. TJL in 023, 3rd Watch runs 5 missions a day just to say he had 2 parkers on a Public Violence Mission, and brags in roll call that more parkers will cause the ganbangers to leave the area and that parkers are a very effective tool for combating gang violence. Then he stiil has to make his comments about the Medical.IOD situation on 3rd Watch. He told all the officers at roll call that THEY should call up all the officers on the Medical and make sure they get back to work. He then sends a Sgt. on 3rd Watch from 023 to conduct Medical follow up on all officers on the Medical. What a waste of resources. This tool created his own set of Mission forms that the Sgt.s have to fill out, then the Lt.s had to initial off every one and file it and record it on the file. He even put in his own revised date on the lower left corner of these form where the CPD# would go on official forms. These are all his ways of making busy work that serves no purpose but to fill his ego.
simple math and the boss man can't figure it out.

You get counted again after each personal and lunch.
