R.I.P. MSF/TRU
It's official:
- The Lodge has finally been given information regarding the fate of the MSF/TRU Officers that were detailed to various District Law Enforcement Units. The MSF and TRU will cease to exist on change day, August 18, 2011
Recognized vacancies will be posted by the Department on Friday, July 29. These openings will likely be in Districts 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 011, and 015. A very limited number of openings in Northside Districts may be made available. MSF/TRU Officers may participate in this round of bidding. Those MSF/TRU Officers who participate and are successful bidders will be locked into these bids for one-year period. - This is the reward for these Officers who exhibited professionalism and a dedicated work ethic in areas that most officers would prefer not to work. Please keep this in mind when the Department offers another opportunity to work in another non-bid unit. The risks outweigh the rewards.

I passed by a/5 and i heard weeping coming from the ocd guys. they know they're next on the chopping block.
Ever seen a grown man cry?. Well you wont see any of these grown men cry, WHY ? because they were all clout baby hairgels anyway. One bag , jump on the paper so we can all get credit boys that have outlived their uselessness.
Now another phenomenon will surely happen. It's called the "plummeting back to earth" theory. Ever see a tact or gangs guy that got dumped? They come back to the watch and never even take out any violations books and vow never ever to do any paper unless it is humanly impossible. That is the legacy of J-Fled and it continues the new superetardo McNutty. De-Policing at it's finest will continue. ...and don't even think of being trigger happy to take out your grief on the honor students of this fair city , you hard chargers.Frank lame brain main is watching. hahahahha
Despite it all though, the minute this department creates another city wide unit. The suckers, I mean officers will be lined up to join it. Then when they get screwed they will want the rest of us to feel sorry for them. Any officer that joined MSF or TRU was an idiot because they knew the city could send them on on a detail anywhere. Yet they signed up for it.
There will always be an ample amount of heroes to fill these non bid spots. So when the next tuff guy unit comes out and is disbanded again resulting in your dumping to a crap district, don’t blame anyone but yourself because you asked to go to the unit, interviewed for the unit, and you will go down in flames with the unit in the end.
You are warned.
I am a former young, dedicated, dynamic and aggressive MSF officer. Now I am stuck in a deep south side district. Not only that, we will be stuck in this shit hole for at least 13 to 17 years. That is based on current hiring trend by the city. I can't believe this happened to me. I should have listened to the old timers who told me "don't do it, the city can cancel your detail and then send your ass to where ever they want and guess which districts will it be?"
The bosses say, "Thanks for volunteering guys!" Now go get me some activity!
Nothing like saying fuck you. I am sure they will get a lot of hard work out of those officers.
So will GEU today. Today at1700 hrs there is a unit meeting at human sq with the Supt. Just like MSF and TRU.
Fucked, not rewarded by the Dept. again ! they always get the new kids knowing that they can screw them at least one time before they smarten up. !!! Sorry you had to learn the hard way !!
Shit rolls down hill and never hits the clout babies !!
This is the reward for these Officers who exhibited professionalism and a dedicated work ethic in areas that most Officers would prefer not to work. Please keep this in mind when the Department offers another opportunity to work in another non-bid unit. The risks outweigh the rewards

man did the department fuck these guys/girls over.

Give me a break. These guys had it made while they were there and now they have to work a district. Big F'n deal!
Quit crying and do your job, and when you get a few years on the job bid to a nice district.
Until then grow up and "Earn Your Paycheck"!!!
Oh please, quit coddling these officers! If they were doing their so-called specialized jobs, the department wouldn't need Closed Market!!
At least the Lodge didn't FUCK UP like they did with the B&A detectives.
Enjoy your dump to the least fav dists WTF Jersey is pandering tpo Rhamy and crime and shootings are on the rise= $#%@# Fuk it Do Nothing!
Oh well, trust me, there won't be a shortage of go getters falling over each other when the next unit is announced...
At least they can work somewhere where the citizens are less annoying than the bosses. They hide all the inside/never did anything/all talk no action/small/suck ups in the slow districts.
I think these officers should be given an exemption from the one year lock on bidding into any of these initial posted districts.
50 recruits with no experience besides brief training. That doesn't sound too safe. I would guess they'll have a Sgt. with them and then after a year or two they can reward them all by sending them to a shithole
we have a bunch of these so called hard chargers ... and the best thing they do is hide
Keep it up you hard-chargers! Your hard work will be rewarded!
I do feel sorry for the people who are going to spend 3 hours of their day travelling to and from work!
So...we do not HAVE to bid correct? Why bid now and get locked in for a year in a shithole. No thanks, I'll stay in shithole I'm in and hopefully a better bid will come out. Fuck you city of shitcago.
Oh well, it was a good run. Met alot of good coopers, Sgts and Lieuts that I wouldn't have otherwise met. Most will remain good friends for life. Also got to meet a few incompetent commanders (t-dub, KR) and got to see some good guys move up the ranks.
As they say, this too shall pass, new assignments, new friends and new challenges but they can't take away the fun we had and the memories we made.
-former 253
TOO Bad, SO sad..
A new citywide deploy-able non-bid unit? You can keep that shit!
I can't speak for TRU, but if any one in MSF has anything to do with a new unit, keep as far away as possible! That is unless of course you like to be micro managed, nit picked, told how to be the police, and have an over inflated ego while at the same time have three years of experience.
I mean this place had zero standard whatsoever. Which should have been an idicator when they don't even bother to look at a PO's stats when deciding to bring them over. That and the numerous problematic PO's that no one wants to work with because they're either lazy, stupid, know's it all and panders to criminals-B.S. or will likely end up in prison at some point.

2nd Watch, 011 bids a reluctant farewell to Sgt Stubbe. You guys in 020 are getting a good one.
Try not not to get too bored, up there in god's country Sarge. But if you do, remember that old Fillmore saying;
"They always come back home to 011"
Take care, Sarge
When they were putting MSF/TRU together a bunch of officers from my district were applying. I told them what would eventually happen and I was 100% correct. You young guys may consider me a dog, but after 23 years I know how this city/department works. Now you know part of the reason I'm a dog. Now if I could only pick winning lotto tickets and stocks like I can pick what the city/department will do.
so this is how the elite get treated!
I GUESS BEING A BEAT CAR AINT THAT BAD IN A SLOW DISTRICT NOW.
ONCE AGAIN THE DEPARTMENT SHOW THAT IF U R A WORKER U WILL BE REWARDED NOT BY PROMOTION BUT BY PUTTING OFFICER IN SHITHOLD DISTRICTS.
If you pull up officer activity in any district, you will see some officers on the list that have been retired 5+ years on it. No joke. My relatively new W/C asked me about some of the names. If you look on the CLEAR employee number search, you will see that only exempts/news affairs can search for inactive members.
This is probably the same list they use for the 13,000 number.
Oh Well, Nothin on the Job lasts forever, and the newbies just need to get used to that. They surely gained some valuable experience, and most have a Long, Long career ahead of them anyway. CPD needs Beat on the Street, and it's just part of the job to go where needed.
Some of these officers will learn from this, and then there are the ones that will be the first to sign up for the next BS detailed unit.
"This is the reward for these Officers who exhibited professionalism and a dedicated work ethic in areas that most officers would prefer not to work. Please keep this in mind when the Department offers another opportunity to work in another non-bid unit. The risks outweigh the rewards."
That sums it up quite nicely.
Those coppers really got the shaft!
rb
Is it a super bid or can anyone bid?
Well I must say now they can start taking these paper jobs and radio job.. most of all they can come down off that high horse. We are all on the same team here.
BULLSHIT! Let's face it, it's based on who you know and NOT on your activity. There was a p.o. in 025 and he wrote 50 to 100 parking citations PER DAY. He had something like over 10,000 parking citations. That is some serious fucking activity. well he still got dumped to 1st watch! Management in 025 or anywhere doesn't give a fuck about your activity. It's all about who you know or who you blow.
7/27/2011 07:57:00 PM
What is he a cop or fucking meter maid? Give me a break.
so they r locking us in for next summer too...these motherfuckers...
Doesn't this say something about the strength of our union? That they don't even have the pull to take care of these officers? To at least be able to get them back to the districts they came from? Or a super bid with some north side districts on there for the north side coppers?
I've learned that my little beat car on the north side isn't so bad after all.
A lot of the people in these units really worked their asses off and it's pretty sad the way they got treated. I never really liked either of the units, but damn, they are really fucking them over big time.
Bunch of Jagoffs. Keeping those guys on the Southside and Westside.Lot of those guys live North. All that hard work and sacrifice for absolutely nothing.Don't give these punks any activity.
Gimme a break...they're not victims. These young guys had a good thing going and now its over, now its time for them to help handle some bullshit domestics in shit districts instead of picking and choosing their arrests. I know a lot of guys on these units but what did they expect from the city.
I will never volunteer for shit for this ungrateful city and department. Be warned from now on. It is official this department will asked you to perform then break it in your ass. G8 and NATO can't come fast enough for the 3rd chicago fire.
Start the bashing in 3...2....1..
Another unit I'm sure will be started up.
Don't do it u guys.
If I was "detailed" to one of those districts, I wouldn't bid into it and be stuck there. I would wait my ass off for the chance of a decent district opening up a spot.
Fuck that.
Let's face the cold hard facts folks. The biggest mistake made by this department was when they disbanded MSF and TRU. For all of you non MSF/TRU officers, you can laugh or be cynical. But we did the job that was necessary. Things are not perfect and never will be. But MSF and TRU went into the most dangerous districts and cleaned things up. Bring them back.
Rest assure scc, officers will STILL go to a new "unit" McCarthy invents. As a veteran officer I tell these young officers to beware but they just don't listen and just refer to me as a "Salty Dog". These young officers, especially the ones that came out of the academy within the last 5 years years, truly amaze me. They know everything and listen to no one. Oh well, good luck to you ex-MSF TRU officers. Hope it was worth it
Maybe the zombies at headquarters will come up with some bs ribbon for these officers to wear. That and your star will get you a ride on any CTA bus.
I was in Public Housing South - Unit 715. I know how it feels to close down. Its not a good feeling. But we are still police.
Well we all knew this would happen! Move along, nothing to see here!
"•This is the reward for these Officers who exhibited professionalism and a dedicated work ethic in areas that most officers would prefer not to work."
Now they can really put that work ethic & dedication to full use in the ghetto district of their choice. It's all about coming full circle you know?
wauka wauka wauka! hahahahahahhahahahahahaha! Now how about we get a unit together where you have to have more than 10 years on the job to get in. this one bag weed crap is gettin old.
Would you EVER trust the city, with the Rahmster and McGeneralissimo in charge to volunteer for any unit like that again?
EVER?!?!

If TRU and MSF are being given the PRIVILEGE to bid into 3-4-5-6--7-8-11 and 15. Are the officers who were detailed out of H/Q a month later going to get to bid to 9-12-10-14 where they were detailed come September?

"Officers who exhibited professionalism and a dedicated work ethic in areas that most officers would prefer not to work." REALLY. more like officers who worked nice districts and thought that they were hard core runner and gunners, too cool to handle jobs. Those that got dumped in the districts constantly bitch, almost all get red lined because they don't listen to the radio or don't know where there at. welcome to the beat kid. stop your whining now that you actually have to answers jobs in the ghetto, way different then the quiet 023.

these bosses are cut throat assholes..watchout all city worker are in trouble with these thiefs in charge..
cold hearted mother fuckers..
thanks you fop.. for everything..yah we volunteered so its our fault..remember you guys volunteer to run our union so do it and after you fail and out on your ass lets see if you get sent a hour and half in traffic from your home thats why you dont give a fuck...cause we volunteer thats the best answer you got what a joke..
were not recruits open up every district..this is bull shit..every district should have the same amount of opening..fuck ur ghetto welfare districts that need p.o.. remember this city is all about your ghetto rats an liberal so the honest working class of people gets fucked..
fop7 is slacking that about 500 votes mike just lost..start getting ur next political hack job lined up..
nice post fop you useless asshole..arent you glad you have a website so you dont have to look at a p.o in the face and tell the your useless..
thank you second city for having this site so we can expose the d-bags in the department...we need to keep on them til they resign..
Don't you see?
The goal is to generate city revenue via fines it's not about fighting crime. Fighting crime is all that fantasy comic book stuff that you find romanticized about in the movies.
We want you to stop busting people for pot for example. Ask the county board prez. She'll tell you.
For starters these people are not working and have nothing else to do with their time but go to court seeking one continuance after another until the case is dropped or they get supervision.
You throw them in the shitter and the place is already loaded with them in the shitter and that places even more or a burden on the taxpayers.
Now they have to feed the pot heads AND house them.
You can't fine them as they have no money.
So it's a lose-lose situation driving the city deeper into debt.
What do they do? Tie up the courts, the system, the manpower.
Same goes for the illegal immigrants. They have no documented source of income to pay fines with.
See, the people that CPD needs to hit are the working stiffs that are trying to play by the rules and trying to get by.
The working stiffs can't afford to take a day off work to fight some bullshit tickets or violations.
There's your easy pickings right there.
Get the money from them.
Nail 'em for back seat seat-belt violations. Nail them for talking on the cell while driving or if they happen to roll through a right turn on red light camera at .0004 MPH...
Hey the law is the law and the police are sworn to uphold the laws.....unless they don't feel like it and don't like the law.
Then you get to choose which laws you like and to whom they should apply.
You get to play favorites like the politicians play favorites with corporate tax breaks deciding who pays or who doesn't based upon if you get something in return like...oh I don't know...maybe a free trip to Israel or something let's say or maybe a campaign contribution.
You see smoking that pot is not a criminal thing it's a social issue and we've had it wrong for the last 40 years or so since whenever Nancy Regan declared that war on drugs.
Yeah...that's a social issue. We need to concentrate ON THE CRIMES. The talking on your cell phone while driving. The riding in the back seat with no seat belt on and the red light cameras. Those are the real crimes unlike that social issue like smoking pot.
Besides. Look at all the revenue the city can generate from that eh?

Hsnd scsnners are coming to all districts and areas. Who will insure these are safe to use when flu season comes?????? Will sanitizer be available between use???
Who is the relative that has the contract? Will it last longer than the swipe??
who cares about msf/tru these guys are the most laziest officers. what the hell were they doing going home early bull shit . i am so glad that this units are gone good job rahm.
LOL Nothing new in ole 019 where traffic cars hold themselves down writing parkers to avoid t/a and moving viol...desk crew calls cars in for coffee runs, food runs, etc. burg cars start at 0530 cause they are clouted and need early out, about the time burglars are breaking in...tact teams hold down on useless missions,..front office has more chicks than a henhouse...commanders come and go, the inside con game remains the same.....are all districts like this yet, will the new supt clean out the clouted house mouses?? Tina skahill idiot broad re Bailey, but hit a bulls eye on target otherwise. Outside Man
how bout those districts on the northside hiding officers inside when do they take care of that huh.
the most funniest district has 3 officers working the desk and the district is the lowest in crime .
if i get pregnant can i work inside or do i get sent to call back anyone knows the answer?
Off topic, Washington Post quoted in Tribune editorial - Michael Cembalest, chief investment officer of JP Morgan Chase to private banking clients - "U.S. Labor compensation is now at a 50 year low relative to both company sales and U. S. gross domestic product." What does this mean? The super rich, who really control everything, are getting richer by cashing in on the economic chaos, created by them, while the working class is getting poorer and poorer. The smear campaign propagated by them in the media, blaming unions and public servants' greed for the downfall of the economy and calling for shared sacrifice, has worked wonderfully for them.
yes i would volunteer again its beats working on watch with a bunch a know it all paper pushers..
I was in TRU a while back & there are some hard working P.O.'s over there. But, there are a lot of lazy people who rely on paper jumping and think they are too good to do a domestic report, accident report, etc; etc. That stuff is the fundementals of police work...answering calls and handling them accordingly. There are too many hard chargers looking for big felony arrests, and not enough wanting to do the basic police work needed.

Many of us were stuck in single-digit shitholes before we had a union. We made the most of it and had lots of fun. My advice to you is to study and get promoted. That's how I got out.
Former MSF/TRU can always come to 009 and work 3rd watch where half the watch is held down on Missions (DART) doing contact cards and curfews and not given calls, while the other half of the watch runs their asses off job to job for the full 9 hrs with-out a lunch sometimes....It'll feel like TRU/MSF: Not being held down to radio assignments or paper jobs.
This is the reward for these Officers who exhibited professionalism and a dedicated work ethic in areas that most Officers would prefer not to work. Please keep this in mind when the Department offers another opportunity to work in another non-bid unit. The risks outweigh the rewards

As an aging veteran I can say with conviction that the best place to hide is in plain sight. The guiding beacon is the age old theory of "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit."
Look to the the old guys, they have been here quite a while and most have seen this shit before. There is nothing new under the sun.
Never trust anything a boss tells you. They want to make their careers on your back. Listen to the old guys with a grain of salt at least.
McCarhy , it's long overdue
Close 13 and 21
these districts have no lock up , no parking , little crime , only 9 primary beats , it would cut a few million from cpd budget
ask rahm first , don't want you to get fired
There will always be a need for the new young guys that love to run around and do this silly shit. We all were there at one point in our careers. Thats why its so important that we start hiring. Quite frasnkly 99% of this department now has over 10yrs of service and just doesnt give a fuck
rah rah speech for gang enforcement today.. Not going anywhere per superintendent who was there and spoke to all in attendence.. Said he loves what we do and we are the best at what we do... He did mention the vest under the shirt topic and said he is NOT a fan of the outer vests.
A/5 GEU, Leads the whole city in arrest/search warrants...They caught the cop shooter in 11 also.. stand up guys, I assisted them on a few warrants... those guys are the police, and never turn a cold shoulder that I have seen. Thanks guys

Don't be angry because you can't catch a fart in a diaper.
Off Topic, but is anyone else really pissed off about this morning's editorial in the Sun-Times? Where is the FOP on this? McCarthy? Emmanuel? Their comments were outrageous.
Why are police involved in so many shootings? Maybe because the thug culture glorifies cop killing and young black men decide to try and shoot a copper instead of running.
let all the shit talking begin from the sick p o s that enjoy seeing other p os misfortune. We'll fact is that innmy time at Msf I didn't take 8 hour lunches and my team didn't paper jump on arrests. Two would stay and the rest would hit the street. I never considered myself elite in fact I don't know any that did. Yes we had our strokes but so does each unit district and watch. I had some.great training opportunity, got the chance to see the city and took a break from the district which I was at for years and now going back to. I can't stand the shit talking. We all wear blue. No matter what I back people up on stops ride on jobs and waive and say hematter matter what. Now who is the better policeman? Thenone that rejoices at others misfortune, talks shit on a blog, and then befriends the same people in actual interaction
They back doored these ladies and gentlemen in every sense of the word which isn't really a word but made up for people who get really screwed over. As the F.O.P. website says,next time be very careful as you apply to a no-bid unit the risks ussually outweigh the rewards.
I will never feel bad for the MSF guys, especially former SOS guys who went there.
This clown Jody boy, disbands an entire unit and threw good coppers under the bus for no reason.
And what did you sellouts do?
You crawled to Jody boys new unit. A unit that had the same EXACT mission as SOS.
You had a chance to stick together officers. Solidarity! You had a chance to say screw you Jody, and make him look like an ass. Well, who's the ass now?
Some of you guys would sell your soul to be citywide. You guys only play for "your" team.
Very sick of this political machine also known as the CPD. If you don't know somebody or have a phone call then enjoy your time getting screwed by this department.
Most of the juice babies have rooked nice spots on midnight surppresion teams or an 06 car and tact. I feel for those few with less than10yrs who aren't going anywhere. Welcome to Southchitgetto
Another unit I'm sure will be started up.
Don't do it u guys.
If I was "detailed" to one of those districts, I wouldn't bid into it and be stuck there. I would wait my ass off for the chance of a decent district opening up a spot.
Fuck that.
7/28/2011 01:11:00 PM
Dude these shit districts have senior officers that want to bail out so you young guys will have to wait a long while to leave.just to clue you guys in every time openings come up we have atleast 30 people trying to bid out.

Thats because Lewin layed everyone off and there is no one to update the database. There are other tasks that are not being performed which will come to light when the system crashes.

I'm sure the hand sanitizer will be the same as in the lockup and processing areas under Jody. Installed with one can of anti-bacterial, but no one had the contract to refill the stupid things, so there they sit, empty.

I'm not fan of our FOP president and most of his officers, but there is nothing the FOP can do for you per the contract. You went to non-bid position and the mayor can do what ever he wants with you.
Just remember most of TRU/MSF voted for Shields.
I work in 004 and must say, the majority of the MSF/TRU guys are good hard workers. There are a few that still think their shit don't stink, but that's in every unit.
The troll, Pat Quinn, wants to double the tolls! Tax and spend.
Let's face the cold hard facts folks. The biggest mistake made by this department was when they disbanded MSF and TRU. For all of you non MSF/TRU officers, you can laugh or be cynical. But we did the job that was necessary. Things are not perfect and never will be. But MSF and TRU went into the most dangerous districts and cleaned things up. Bring them back.
You've got to be kidding me. What made you different from any other district or area team? All you did was generate numbers. The only thing MSF did that was different was riding 3 cars deep with 4 men per car. Nobody is impressed with working in the ghetto, it just makes the days/nights interesting.
Hsnd scsnners are coming to all districts and areas. Who will insure these are safe to use when flu season comes?????? Will sanitizer be available between use???

Former MSF/TRU can always come to 009 and work 3rd watch where half the watch is held down on Missions (DART) doing contact cards and curfews and not given calls, while the other half of the watch runs their asses off job to job for the full 9 hrs with-out a lunch sometimes....It'll feel like TRU/MSF: Not being held down to radio assignments or paper jobs.
--Sounds like 008 midnights with their stupid missions!
What's going on with their Commanders? Supervising nothing on a commanders salary?
what was there before MSF/TRU?...and, after they're gone....who cares?
OT new curfew law passed children under 12 off the street at 8:30pm
any battery victims on the street after 8:30pm will be written up for a curfew violation

The department can not make you bid anywhere, do not fill out PAR forms stay where you are detailed and try to bid to better district. They want the police to bid into ghetto districts so they keep you there for a year, don't do it.
were not recruits open up every district..this is bull shit..every district should have the same amount of opening..fuck ur ghetto welfare districts that need p.o.. remember this city is all about your ghetto rats an liberal so the honest working class of people gets fucked..

hahahahahahhaha
Its a terrible shame how this department treats the workers. But, every one knows they will create another unit soon. All I can say is if any cop volunteers for the next bs unit they create you get what you deserve. Do not be a ass and go willingly, force the department to fill the unit by reverse senority.
How many times does a person need to get kicked in the face before they learn their lesson. Any one who volunteers for the next special unit is a complete ass@&le. Cops have to stop believing they are so special that they need to be on a special unit. If we are so special we would not be cops in the first place. Also, before anyone starts throwing cheap shots I did the gang, tact and SOS bs. The only difference is I learned my lesson and will never make that mistake again. Patrol for life is what each and every blue shirts motto should be. Force the department to fill tact teams by reverse seniority also.
no more easy tvbs or contact cards. time to start answering some ghetto calls. ha ha ha! my daughter shaniqua was jumped on by 15 &^%$@#$ and i want a re port!! ha ha ha
Avoid a 3 hour drive to work.
MOVE TO HEGEWISCH!
HaHaHa.
Doesn't this say something about the strength of our union? That they don't even have the pull to take care of these officers? To at least be able to get them back to the districts they came from? Or a super bid with some north side districts on there for the north side coppers?
7/28/2011 12:28:00 PM
It says they pick their battles wisely. It sucks you have to go back to a district and do what you were hired to do, but don't waste the union's time fighting to reward you for the vacation you have been enjoying for the duration of the J-Fled years.
I love it, all you hating! All of you that are happy units gone.....All i can say dont hate the player hate the game. Lasted many years and was fantastic.
No more gang loitering violations? If so, since when? I'm told if you shag them off the corner for gang loitering not only do u violate the shitbirds civil rights but you leave yourself open to all kinds of problems....WTF!!!!
Curfew violations but no gang loitering.....what is this city coming too!!
Another unit I'm sure will be started up.
Don't do it u guys.
If I was "detailed" to one of those districts, I wouldn't bid into it and be stuck there. I would wait my ass off for the chance of a decent district opening up a spot.
Fuck that.
7/28/2011 01:11:00 PM
Dude these shit districts have senior officers that want to bail out so you young guys will have to wait a long while to leave.just to clue you guys in every time openings come up we have atleast 30 people trying to bid out.
-----
I posted the above. I guess I didn't know how many senior officers are trying to get out of shit-holes.
My bad.
"I passed by a/5 and i heard weeping coming from the ocd guys. they know they're next on the chopping block."
"So will GEU today. Today at1700 hrs there is a unit meeting at human sq with the Supt. Just like MSF and TRU."
***********************************
Find something else to write about you goofs....you've been on this blog saying the same shit for over 2 years idiots!
Some of us will go back.
Some of us never learn.
Some of us just dont know better.
Some of us dont know when we are getting fucked.
Some of us will say in a Dist.
So will GEU today. Today at1700 hrs there is a unit meeting at human sq with the Supt. Just like MSF and TRU.
actually its not true. Leo and The supt were driving around in 007 tonight together. Leo is actually going to get 40 more bodies. The supt likes whats going on with gang enforcement and gang intel. He is realizing that those two units(and narcotics) are getting the majority of guns due to search warrants. So sorry to burst your bubble but they are staying put and actually getting more people.
"...will the new supt clean out the clouted house mouses??"
Are you new around here? Don't be ridiculous.
If one goes, he's replaced by another. This city only understands clout.
I am a former young, dedicated, dynamic and aggressive MSF officer. Now I am stuck in a deep south side district. Not only that, we will be stuck in this shit hole for at least 13 to 17 years. That is based on current hiring trend by the city. I can't believe this happened to me. I should have listened to the old timers who told me "don't do it, the city can cancel your detail and then send your ass to where ever they want and guess which districts will it be?"
7/28/2011 06:34:00 AM
Heres the "million dollar question", kid:
When the Dept opens up a new high speed, kick ass, generate revenue...err, umm, lock-em-up unit, are YOU going to raise your hand? You probably live across the street from Niles or Park Rigde and go to 004 or 005. Are YOU going to go to that unit to get out of where you're at? Or stick it out till you can bid?
Hard choice....
1. Like everything else on this job; enjoy the ride while you can and when it's over, it's over.
2. Learn from everything you see/do.
3. Hate the game, not the player.
4. Phone calls will always be #1 here.
5. Don't be a hater.
6. Whatever you do/don't do, make sure you can look yourself in the mirror.
Nothing lasts forever. This job will never be what it was when our uncles or fathers were on. Even ten years ago. Never the less it's still a decent way to make a living. Worked in a trade before I got on. Unless we were inside if it rained you didn't work and didn't get paid. If it was too cold out you didn't work and didn't get paid. Our job has it's moments where you scratch your head and count your blessings you came out unscaved. All in all it's still a very good job. We still have have it better than most of those in the private sector for the time being. Be smart about what you do and go home to your families.
"Oh please, quit coddling these officers! If they were doing their so-called specialized jobs, the department wouldn't need Closed Market!!"
If you know where the money for Closed Market comes from, you wouldn't be shooting your mouth off.
who cares about msf/tru these guys are the most laziest officers. what the hell were they doing going home early bull shit . i am so glad that this units are gone good job rahm.
7/28/2011 05:25:00 PM
Coming from the "most stupidest officer"
I know no one expected the Department to do the right thing. What was wrong with posting all the openings thru out the city and letting our seniority, get us where we would make it. Most of us would have ended up in some of those districts anyway. While the others officers that have been on the job for 10-23 plus years would have made it to maybe a district of their chose. It's ashame that the bosses have forgetten where they came from.
Waasup with Keating and Roussell?
Wow I see alot of shit talking from alot of you beat guys. First off we former msf and tru officers have been back in the district for over two months now all the crying has been over no one expected to go back. I am getting tired of hearing bs about time on the job I challenge each of you to pull up your districts seniority roster and compare your time to the guys and gals detailed in from tru and msf if you don't have more time then all of them shut up already a hint for you if you have less than 20 its likely that some of them have more than you if you have less than 15 its highly likely. If you have less than 10 there is no doubt. So if this applies to you please shut up about time. Now then we had a good run its time to move on. Oh btw hairgel really? There is a hell of alot more gel in every ghetto district in this city than any of the citywide units and trust me I've worked in each and every one of them. Now then I looked forward to working with every officer on the watch in my soon to be new district we will have ups and downs but still have alot of fun.
To the guy that posted about senior officers trying to bid out and can't I've seen plenty of people with less time than me getting 16 18 20 22 and 23 so im not too worried. But I think im going to bid to area 2 or select districts in area 1 I been checking looks like im about a year away from days in quite a few of them.
"But we did the job that was necessary. Things are not perfect and never will be. But MSF and TRU went into the most dangerous districts and cleaned things up. Bring them back."

Hey special ed, why don't you learn the english language correctly before you post retarded comments on a police blog !
"So will GEU today. Today at1700 hrs there is a unit meeting at human sq with the Supt. Just like MSF and TRU."
--Guess what you miserable prick, we are staying b/c the Supt likes the idea of a Gang Unit. Will this Unit last forever? Probably not, but start worrying about yourself and your family! So sick of all the hatred for MSF,TRU,GEU,etc. Please tell me how these units are for Clout??? This job isn't fucking rocket science, just go out and lock motherfuckers up! Lord knows there is no shortage of savages running around the city. I know, 1st and the 16th, blah,blah!!!!
---312
"A/5 GEU, Leads the whole city in arrest/search warrants...They caught the cop shooter in 11 also.. stand up guys, I assisted them on a few warrants... those guys are the police, and never turn a cold shoulder that I have seen. Thanks guys"
--Signed, A/5 GEU guy
thanks you fop.. for everything..yah we volunteered so its our fault..remember you guys volunteer to run our union so do it and after you fail and out on your ass lets see if you get sent a hour and half in traffic from your home thats why you dont give a fuck...cause we volunteer thats the best answer you got what a joke..
Stop the crying. You made the choice to go to a non-bid position because you fell for the bs of being in a unit. I will bet a years pay that you had been warned by more senior officers not to go, but you went any way. Not to mention after you had seen what they put the entire SOS unit through over a few bad apples should have been enough to warn you to stay put.
I hope you have learned your lesson now. Never volunteer for any non-bid position for this Shit hole city and the parasites that manage this department.
Stay put in the districts where you are protected by the contract.
I will never feel bad for the MSF guys, especially former SOS guys who went there.
This clown Jody boy, disbands an entire unit and threw good coppers under the bus for no reason.
And what did you sellouts do?
You crawled to Jody boys new unit. A unit that had the same EXACT mission as SOS.
You had a chance to stick together officers. Solidarity! You had a chance to say screw you Jody, and make him look like an ass. Well, who's the ass now?
Some of you guys would sell your soul to be citywide. You guys only play for "your" team.
This post is right on the money, well written officer. Any one from the old sos that went to msf or tru are complete sell outs and ego maniacs.
There will always be those new guys ready to jump on these units. after 5 years on the job you realize it's all B.S. kid...
yes i would volunteer again its beats working on watch with a bunch a know it all paper pushers..
This comment is why the blue shirts will never get a fair shake. Stop being such an ego maniac you super cop.
Um...no hater...GEU is fine. Was at meeting today. Sup loves what we do. Not touching us now. You know they can never promise anything but it seems we are "ok"...for now. So, all of you haters that have said we will be disbanded for the last 3 years....WRONG! So far so good. You can just keep on hating.
Here's a fact. The dept dumped alot of good officers to shitty districts far from home. Why wouldn't these officers join another unit, duh
It's really old reading comments from the disgruntled that didn't get chosen for msf or tru, its obvious by your comments. We see how bitter the other officers are, not tru and msf officers.
McCarhy , it's long overdue
Close 13 and 21
these districts have no lock up , no parking , little crime , only 9 primary beats , it would cut a few million from cpd budget
ask rahm first , don't want you to get fired
7/28/2011 06:03:00 PM
021 is a pretty big district. I guess we're just going to dump all that space to patrol on 002 and 001? Give them each another hospital and they can split the lake front? There may not be alot of crime there but it's sure alot of area to cover with service calls and paper jobs.

That is the truth. Be grateful for your job and good benefits. How many times have they changed the name of a mobile force of officers since 1970? SOS, task force. The names and players will change but the concept will be the same. Move on and wait for the next opportunity. Bitching is a complete waste of time. Look for a good partner and a steady beat car. Wait for the command changes.
Just for the record, MSF was better than TRU.

you should look at those #'s again.
They may lead compared to the rest of area 5 but area 1 and 2 have way more arrest/guns/wrts then they do..
OFF TOPIC
Hsnd scsnners are coming to all districts and areas. Who will insure these are safe to use when flu season comes?????? Will sanitizer be available between use???
Who is the relative that has the contract? Will it last longer than the swipe??

Roussell will be the interim commander of 24 as Wick retires 01 August. Keating ... retired quite a few months ago and is running Navy Pier's security. I think you meant Ryan ...
Let's face the cold hard facts folks. The biggest mistake made by this department was when they disbanded MSF and TRU. For all of you non MSF/TRU officers, you can laugh or be cynical. But we did the job that was necessary. Things are not perfect and never will be. But MSF and TRU went into the most dangerous districts and cleaned things up. Bring them back.
7/28/2011 01:13:00 PM
You talk like no one has ever worked in that district before and your so brave for going in there and getting some mope with weed. Get over yourself many many many have done it before you and many many many will do it after you. MSF and TRU are the police just like a beat cop who is in that Same district except you guys had the pleasure of picking your arrests and enjoying 2 hour lunches. There is no difference between 4 MSF guys in a car or the guy pushing 1134 etc etc. Your all in the same dangerous district dipshit doesn't make you more daring or courageous because your in a unit.
It's really old reading comments from the disgruntled that didn't get chosen for msf or tru, its obvious by your comments. We see how bitter the other officers are, not tru and msf officers.
7/29/2011 05:02:00 AM
Delusional @ best. Chosen? No didnt have the phone call to get out of patrol or had enough integrity not to sell themselves out for some nonsense what those units turned out to be.
To the asshole with the paper job comment get real. Tell that shit to your tact and mission teams.
Please stop using the term "hate", "hater" and "hating". This isn't the englewood blog, you sound like a mental midget. Second, grow up, collect your paycheck and go home safe.

jody didn't disband sos it was starks, stupid.
The FOP had the chance to help out the MSF/TRU guys, but guess what they didn't. FOP was told after the recognized vacanices were filled, the spots that were created by people bidding out would be made available to msf/tru superbid. But the FOP said no, it didnt effect enough officers and wouldnt benefit the majority of its membership. I guess its a valid point, but they use it all the time.

Surprise Leo though will be gone,he was pension board today,guy reviewing mine told me Leos wife Ellyn was there last month,and Leo and Ellyn just had a big garage sale last Saturday could it be they be gone soon? just askin?
The scanners are being installed so when you are running late you will get fucked by the company. more the 7 minutes they dock you pay. No more early duck when you did that good pinch.
Worst of all is that relief will be face to face and we will being staying to the very last second, just like in a factory.
It sucks for the MSF/TRU guys. I'm one of them. I'm sorry we have to drive far from home or work in a place you don't want to. But we did sign up for the unit and knew (or should have) that this event may have taken place. We may have been screwed by the Department or the Union. SOS got a super bid. MSF/TRU didn't.
On the other hand, to all those officers bashing MSF/TRU guys I say calm down. You don't need clout to get into those units. It isn't Fugitive Apprehension. I also don't understand when people say "That's what you get for leaving." You're right, we should stay on a beat for thirty years and never leave. Never take a chance on anything. Sounds like fun.
To all the one bag arrest bashers, it's the job we were told to do. Make arrests. Sometimes, he's a shithead and needs to get locked up. Other times, you found him dirty, he's had four UUW arrests and one AGG BATT to PO. He's gonna get locked up. Even if it's just for six hours.
Would you EVER trust the city, with the Rahmster and McGeneralissimo in charge to volunteer for any unit like that again?
McGeneralissimo!! LOLoL!!! OMG you guys are too funny with these nicknames. That shit is hilarious!
Most of the juice babies have rooked nice spots on midnight surppresion teams or an 06 car and tact. I feel for those few with less than10yrs who aren't going anywhere. Welcome to Southchitgetto
7/28/2011 08:02:00
Nobody uses a phone call to go to an 06 car or midnight suppression teams, whatever the fuck that is. You use a phone call to go to Narcotics, Gang Intel, etc. TRU and MSF where one of the few places outside of patrol that a PO without a phone call could go. A phone call always helps, but was not needed for those units.
Surprise Leo though will be gone,he was pension board today,guy reviewing mine told me Leos wife Ellyn was there last month,and Leo and Ellyn just had a big garage sale last Saturday could it be they be gone soon? just askin?
7/29/2011 11:08:00 PM
Can you imagine a garage sale at Leo's? Racks of rifles, boxes of ammo, Ninja suits, smoke grenades and such. Too funny.
thanks you fop.. for everything..yah we volunteered so its our fault..remember you guys volunteer to run our union so do it and after you fail and out on your ass lets see if you get sent a hour and half in traffic from your home thats why you dont give a fuck...cause we volunteer thats the best answer you got what a joke..
___________________________________
I'm not fan of our FOP president and most of his officers, but there is nothing the FOP can do for you per the contract. You went to non-bid position and the mayor can do what ever he wants with you.
Just remember most of TRU/MSF voted for Shields.
7/28/2011 09:25:00 PM
And because of this they would be idiots to vote for him again.
"A/5 GEU, Leads the whole city in arrest/search warrants..."
Brilliance #1: Sorry, as far as GEU, area 1 leads all gang enforcement in search warrants AND guns recovered.
"So will GEU today. Today at1700 hrs there is a unit meeting at human sq with the Supt. Just like MSF and TRU"
Brilliance #2: So much for that predication. GEU actually does work and is STILL standing.
"That is a NEGATIVE ghost rider.... there is a team in narcotics, some task force, of 8 guys, who have done 300 warrants a year for the past 3 years.
"Great job by both teams, but please, get the facts correct."
And taking the cake: Get the facts correct??? So this team of 8 guys never took a day off or furlough and where able to do 300 search warrants a year for 3 years? Holy Smoke!! I'm not a rocket scientist by any means but really? 300 a year? 900 in 3 years? You should really inventory that shit instead of smoking it.
The scanners are being installed so when you are running late you will get fucked by the company. more the 7 minutes they dock you pay.

Look into CLEAR - the facts are there. I have seen this team in 5 before, they go out and do three or four a day once a week. They hump, no smoking there, if that is your thing.
