He's Baaaaack
- The security director at Chicago Public Schools has resigned to return to the Chicago Police Department, officials with CPS and police said tonight.
Michael Shields joined the school district as director of security in 2009. His annual salary was $150,000, according to CPS.
His last day with CPS was Friday, said CPS spokeswoman Becky Carroll.
Shields was formerly a deputy superintendent with the Police Department. He was reported to be a candidate for the Chicago police superintendent’s job earlier this year, before Mayor Rahm Emanuel hired Garry McCarthy for the job.
He is returning to the Police Department as a lieutenant, a department spokesman said.
Shields is a cousin of First Lady Michelle Obama.
Media, how about asking a few pointed questions?
- Why a $50,000 pay cut? Nobility of purpose? A higher calling? Or just another bit of smoke-and-mirrors for a higher paying job once he gets "re-treaded" through the Academy?
- And speaking of "re-treading," how come the Department spent a few years firing/forcing resignations/refusing to extend any Leaves of Absence for longer than a year, but here's someone gone for two years with no penalty? Oh wait - two sets of rules. We forgot.
- Has anyone in the media run the record of civil suits? Once again, two sets of rules we suppose.
- Why isn't the media interviewing J-Fled? Here's a guy who can't stand not having his mug on TV and who actually demoted Shields at the beginning of his tenure, yet no one is grabbing him for a tell all about the politics of the CPD? Gee, either J-Fled was bought off or J-Fled has been co-opted into the corruption that is Chicago. Are we wrong?
We guess we know exactly who isn't running the Department. That had to be the shortest puppet show in CPD history.

Didn't this shields have an investigative news team uncover some nefarious deeds with his income property that he swept under the rug?

cuello already told McSup that she is leaving in october... Shields will be getting her spot.
whatever, another useless political hack. then you wonder why this department is in shambles.

Because Jfled saw that shields had numerous sexual harrassment beefs, lawsuits for sex harassment and lets not forget, jody found out that in shields history the FEDS were watching him and was brought down... of course with nothing becoming of it. From what I hear shields should be broke from his sexual harassment lawsuits(many which cost the taxpayers a TON by being swept under the rug and settled) and possibly in federal prison... that is why jfed demoted him.. he saw that shields is a deadbeat and on the line of being on the wrong side of the law... but, when your michelles cousin I guess your untouchable. And the chicago media will never slander anyone that is connected to obama, especially with the upcoming election and chicago being his campaign headquarters... the chicago media will never ask these questions and make michelle or rahm look bad
I'm pretty sure that we'll see a very special and predominate position open up for the G8 NATO summits and only one man will be qualified
I'll say it again. Shields is being set up for superintendent if/when Obama is re-elected.
Li'l Garry will be gifted with the New York top spot, will gracefully exit Chicago, and Mike Shields (the one with the tan) will be gifted with CPD supe.
My guess is he gets the newly created XO spot, or is named co-chair with Kirby of the G-8 summit planning team. There will be no pay cut.

I just wanted to give the FOP, and specifically rich aguillar credit for posting the seniority it took to get to each district on their facebook page for the last bid.
I was on here complaining about it b/c i look at it each month along with many of us that are looking at possiblly moving around the dept.
So thank you for posting that, many of us appreciate it.
Just a gentle reminder to you cops out there: Even though we love to give you guys half, sometimes even full discounts, in this modern economy, sometimes we can't do either.
If not, please don't shoot your firearm into the ceiling, hit people with the baton, and most importantly, don'y sprsay mace in the lobby!
While it is nice that a couple of goofs have lackies trying to get suckers to buy benefit tickets for their retarded lack in judgement, we hope in the future, officers will learn to conduct themselves in a proffessional and calm manner when buying dinner from us. Thankyou.
OT:
Just wanted to let everyone know that a great young supporter of the CPD, who runs the blog "Avondale and Logan Square Crime Blotter", is no longer going to be doing it, due to financial issues.
Timmy was/is a prime example of what young people can be like.
The word is CPS is looking to privatize security after Rahmulus was shown the bill to keeep all the little kiddies safe, including having our people in schools.
Why not priviatize as between the Mom secuity guards to the GED flunkies to 'I speak a no English' hallway sleepers there's money being pissed down the drain.
Shields was a good cmdr of 005, and did a good job as A/2 Deputy Chief. This was long before anyone knew who MO was, or his relation to her. It makes no sense, as another poster has written here, that Weis would demote Shields due to CR allegations, and then re-promote DTEB twice. Whatever happened that caused Weis to demote Shields had nothing to do with allegations in his personnel file. Weis made a lot of dumb moves during his time in the CPD. Shields did a good job in all of his exempt positions. If he wants to return to the CPD and resume his career, he deserves the opportunity to do so. Lots of people who have worked for him in the past wish him well.
michelle also has twenty secretaries making six figures.do you think she proud of america now?

As a cop, I agree with you. If someone gives you half off, 15% off, etc... then great. If not, then that is fine too. But sometimes I will see a goof ask for a discount and if declined they will ask the manager for a discount, etc... That is unacceptable. The economy is in shambles and businesses can't afford to give discounts.
mccarthy ? to rahm
where can a find a known sexual harrasser , rank lt or above , not currently employed with cpd ?
Let me get back to ya mac , i'll check with my boss richie and barry

O.T. Flash Robbery Caught On Video
Check out this youtube video where the animals were caught on tape stealing from a 7-11.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHyug2PvpB8
This trend is slowly happening throughout our country.
Most sustained sexual harassment C.R's result in seperation or 30 day suspensions.
On Hillard's last day in office Shield's received a reprimand on a serious sexual harassment C.R. The victims then obtained a large settlement from the City on their lawsuit.
The non-clouted would of been seperated. The Inspector General should look into this!
As soon as people stop paying attention he will get a big promotion and raise--you can take that to the bank!
Cuello is not leaving in October. As a matter of fact, she is still here trying to increase her pension. She should have been gone the same day as JJ when the Mayor announced Al Wysinger. Her position was removed then! She has fucked us over to increase her pension. Her husband already has an Exempt pension and has the medical time for the both of them. Remember, she was promoted to ASA 6 months into Jodi's reign. All they did was make up another position for her. Now, she can leave after the first of the year with the unpaid days taken into consideration. The most important thing of all of this is she will STILL GET HER ASA PAY through the end of the year. She already let her staff know that. WTF So, once again, the political hacks are fucking us over so they can get a pension, just like Mike Shields! Watch and see how long it is before he is back at an Exempt rank and into our pension with his CPS time! This is fucked up!
Mike shield is a class act and was demoted because he would do what was right, not what masters wanted. Glad to have you back sir.
Mac-Zero has zero control. Shields will get his spot again.
I am pretty sure that the rule has always been that leaves to serve with another government agency or in another law enforcement have always been allowed to be extended past 1 year. Personal leaves for other purposes were for a maximum of 1 year. That is probably still the official policy.
So what kind of work do these guys do that we need to keep recycling them through the various City Departments? Are they that good at what they do, or are they like Hubberman?
No. They are NOT very good at what they do. They are connected and shuffled around so their lack of expertize, knowledge and work ethic are not exposed. And the taxpayers foot the bill as usual.
Billionaire Warren Buffett urged U.S. lawmakers to raise taxes on the country's super-rich to help cut the budget deficit, saying such a move will not hurt investments.
Put him in charge if Intel! LoL The unit might improve.
what was the connection between doty and shields?
I'm sorry this is off the subject but what the hell. Is it true that there was a float at the "Bud Biliken" parade with names of people that the police supposedly "killed"? If so, why don't the police enter their float naming how many innocent police & children were killed by the many parade attendees who caused these murders. I know the answer, just asking!!!! A product of their environment but have the brains and money to advertise this - what a joke. Gate their communities up and let them run free with no backup whatsoever but first let the innocent people that live in this environment leave.
Could we please forward this to journalists who can highlight the scandalous behavior of this man. This stinks to HIGH HEAVEN.If anyone has connections to Drudge,Rush or Hannity please get this out. Nobody in their right mind takes a huge paycut unless they are promised something else. A poster yesterday mentioned maybe he's being brought in,to encourage behavior by us,to benefit his cousins husband in Nov. This nonsense about the push for contact cards (i.e. generally 85% African American) and his return is very,very odd. Obama needs traction and distraction from the hideous state of our economy and this could be part of the smokescreen.
I keep reading little references to Shields and sexual harassment problems. Is this guy wierd or what? Just curious.
I am sorry but if my cousin is the wife of POTUS I would hope to get special treatment too. And so would every one else.
Ummmm Obama, Emmanuel, Whitehouse, Chicago. You really can't tell what's going on? Come on man, gimmie a break
his next merit promotion will be right from the white house
kids , remember get those contact cards , study hard and without clout , you will remain a blue shirt on the cpd
Shields left a Lieutenant, and is returning as such.
Just asking , will he have to pass a power test to get back as a Lt?
Make him take the sgt or lt test and he'll be back in a blue shirt.
come on mcgoofypuppet show us blue shirts what you are made of , tough new york copper, nothin but a rag doll for politicians.
More gold braid money to be sucked from our pension fund.
cuello is retiring in october. By the time shields is retread and hidden away somewhere at 35th st her spot should open up right on time to have him step in and take her chiefs spot. bank on it.
cuello already told McSup that she is leaving in october... Shields will be getting her spot.
8/15/2011 12:08:00 AM
Wrong again. Keep guessing. She's sticking around.
movin on up to the top!gotta get a piece of that political pie!!
Good for Mike. Always treated people decently at 005- A2.
2 year LOA - 2 year civil statute of limitations, coincidence ?
Anybody related to Barry O'B is untouchable while he's the Prez.
Look at Obama's never-employed cousin, Zeituni Onyango. Until Barry was elected, Aunt Zeituni was an illegal alien living under a deportation order in Boston. After the election, she became a "political refugee" entitled to live forever in the USA on our dime.
I sure wish I had clout...
I think we can dispense with calling them "the media". Let's call it what it is: Propaganda.

This is comlete bullshit!!!!!!!! He has been gone for two years and they bring him back when you should only get a one year leave with no extentions. That's what they told me when I tried to come back shorty after my 1yr leave expired...Two totally different sets of rules based on who you know/are!!!!!!!!!!!
When I joined cpd 28 years ago we were shown a simple sign "RESPECT IS EARNED NOT GRATED," Now with this move it causes the street coppers to again as usual lose respect for the pathetic exempt structure! Now Mcdoodle without a doubt has no control this guy back?penny?brown?carouthers? And how many more??

It is very important to make a good impression on the bosses on this job. They have earned their positions and deserve respect.
I will buy two tickets just to show my support. I love the CPD and I love the bosses even more!
This Department has become a great big joke. Look at the command staff and have a good laugh, or cry.
This Department is the laughing stck of the entire nation. The corruption reaches the White House.
.....Shields did a good job in all of his exempt positions. If he wants to return to the CPD and resume his career, he deserves the opportunity to do so.....
But if a blue shirt is allowed to come back, he/she goes to the next available spot (bad spot) that comes up and does NOT return to a BETTER job, or even an old job!
Once again, double standards in CPD!
Shields will be promoted by McStat. McStat is not running the show.

never stops to amaze,Sunday night was at Villa rosa pizza place on archer,picking up an order were about 9 people in line when this 1 guy walks to the front asks for his order,the cashier gets it tells him "$25.55" He replies "Is that with police discount" as he opens his badge kid says "20.55" he pays walks out the comments from people waiting how fucking stupid is that?
it's all legit, no?....only the absolute best and brightest, bar none, are in charge,.....no?
Just waiting for the new $uper, duper "command $pot" made e$pecially for him. I'm betting in $ix weeks there will be an "announcement".
This will happen because we all know how qualified he is. (sarcasm off)

If this is true, it is quite sad.
Being totally legit, police officers are not supposed to accept any gratuity, favor or discount.
With that said...
Don't place yourself in a position to embarrass yourself or the rest of us... by going into a restaurant, not prepared to pay full boat on whatever you order.
Never, ever ask for a "police discount."
If someone wishes to express gratitude for your service and cuts you a break (unsolicited), never forget to say "thank you."
Old school coppers said it wasn't wrong (accepting a discount)... if you didn't ask for it. Not ethically correct, but certainly not shameful.
When someone does something stupid like what was said above, it shames all of us. Then we wonder why some people hate the police.
Yes, during hard times like these, places that were more "cop friendly" may not be able to afford it. Especially if a lot of cops eat there. Understand and accept that.
Businesses don't "owe" cops anything.
Oh, one last thing... If you get a play on your meal and have a waiter/waitress, make sure you tip them good. At the bare minimum, tip them 15% on the full price of your meal... not the discounted price.
I know everyone wants to save a buck here and there. Coppers are no different.
Tipping a little extra when you get a play on your meal shares the love a bit... and makes friends instead of enemies.
I know this is thinking outside the box a bit, but maybe the gesture is worth more than the gift.
Coppers can be their own worst enemy at times.
Just saying...

Are you fucking kidding? Once again, incompetence is rewarded? Certain people are untouchable?
If true, it sends a strong message throughout the department...
The extreme organizational corruption at CPD continues to light the path for individual corruption.
Then we wonder why certain people act with impunity.
As a department, we have lost our way... and perhaps our soul.
Where have all the honest men (and women) gone?
What a joke! Is there any legal way to get the truth out about this connected idiot walking time bomb! This is what our tax dollars are paying for? Just another law suit waiting to happen and another settlement by the city to keep the victim quiet...
Interesting jabs here at Shields. I seem to remember a certain Lt. who took a LOA to go work for Shortshanks
in the WATER DEPT. for a period of time, only to return to the CPD as a DEPUTY CHIEF. This hack now currently holds the rank of ADS...of basically NOTHING. Not a word was said when Murphy returned to the CPD completely bypassing the rank of cmdr, being placed in a bureau that already had an ADS. Again, nothing was said about it.
I wouldn't begrudge Shields the chance to return the the CPD. If anything, he should return as an exempt.
He's held a few exempt ranks already, and from what I've heard about him, treated everyone around him well. I can't imagine why Shields would want to return, when things are still far from good here, but I guess he has his reasons. Hopefully, the leadership will improve under McComStat, even though it doesn't appear to be the case, at least for now.
I am sorry but if my cousin is the wife of POTUS I would hope to get special treatment too. And so would every one else.

Superintendents are never given a free reign to run the CPD. There always have been and always will be "outside influences" that determine what actions will be taken. If we all stop and think we all had our share of bosses who were worse than Shields and if you ever worked for him you would have to say you didn't have many better than him.

yes, a group of 20 or so protestor-type people were marching in the parade at Billiken holding signs/posters of their "victims" chanting "killed by the police!"
I was on the detail; they had to adjust their path to walk around me. Racially diverse group. None would look me in the eye. Not one person in the crowd on the other side of the barriers as far as I could see gave the protestors the time of day.
OT:
I just wanted to give the FOP, and specifically rich aguillar credit for posting the seniority it took to get to each district on their facebook page for the last bid.
I was on here complaining about it b/c i look at it each month along with many of us that are looking at possiblly moving around the dept.
So thank you for posting that, many of us appreciate it.
I can't find their facebook page. Can you post the link.
OT: Whether you are a Sox fan or not you gotta love Ozzie always wearing the memorial shirts! and hats too!

When I joined cpd 28 years ago we were shown a simple sign "RESPECT IS EARNED NOT GRATED,"
What the fuck does that mean?

It means someone didn't re-read their post.
It should read, "Earned, not granted", as in 'You don't automatically get respect; you have to earn it'.
Anyone who asks for a police discount should be given a "code red".

Sorry, but where is the conspiracy here?
It appears some of you know less about the Department Rules than you do about this guy.
He is coming back from another City job, which is ALLOWED. He is going back to his service rank, for now, which is ALLOWED.
He might be political royalty, but I don't see where that comes into play under this specific circumstance.
A lot of whining and crying over nothing.
Is he is retreading at the academy?
The conversation between Shields and Lodding would be enlightening to hear. (Sarcasm)
Two merit geniuses, both incapable of making a positive contribution to the department on their best days, yet they are each making in excess of 100K in salary and benefits, not because of their talents, skills and abilities, but because of their connections.
It is another proud day at CPD. Howie and Mike just kicking-back and brain-storming to get us on the right track. (Insert sounds of violent wretching here)

Just a gentle reminder to you cops out there: Even though we love to give you guys half, sometimes even full discounts, in this modern economy, sometimes we can't do either.
If not, please don't shoot your firearm into the ceiling, hit people with the baton, and most importantly, don'y sprsay mace in the lobby!
While it is nice that a couple of goofs have lackies trying to get suckers to buy benefit tickets for their retarded lack in judgement, we hope in the future, officers will learn to conduct themselves in a proffessional and calm manner when buying dinner from us. Thankyou.
just a friendly reminder that fogo da chao wont be giving any more police discounts after their facilities were allegedly fumigated by certain p.o's whom they are now having a benefit for

That's what cell phone cameras are for--if you don't report him, shame on you!

I would wake him up and correct his actions. If that didn't work, I would speak to the Principal. If that didn't work I would throw him out of his chair...but that's just me.
Sorry Ray but if my cousin was the wife of the POTUS, I would still want to EARN my rank and the respect of my peers and the men and women under my command. It's an old fashioned notion taught to me by my Dad, its called self respect. Something you work hard to achieve and earn will always be precious to you. When things are given without having been earned, they aren't valued or cared for by those to whom they were given. I think this is evident by the poor judgement exhibited by this individual; (i.e. sexual harassment lawsuits) and other parties whom owe their
positions to clout. Please don't tell me he passed all his tests legitimately either, he may be a great guy and boss to some but don't sit there and tell me he is the best and brightest. The same goes for others like Georgas, Kirby, Cuello and Tarnished Penny just to name a few. In closing, it's not because Shields is black as evidenced by the above list. My opinion is a lot of bosses couldn't make it frosting doughnuts, let alone "lead" troops in the field. They should be thankful for their incredible luck and try very hard not to fuck over those less clouted than they are meaning the blue shirts. Okay game on, rant off.
"He was reported to be a candidate for the Chicago police superintendent’s job earlier this year..."
They're clearly already laying the groundwork for this guy's rise to power.
Wait! How many Mike Schields are there?
Well there are two for sure:
Mike Shields - FOP president.
Mike Shields - Lt., former ADS of Bureau of Strategic Deployment
Then there is Bill Schield - really cool Sgt.
None of the above are related to each other to the best of anyones knowledge.
The aforementioned comments about the restaurant is in regards to a very real incident that happened in 018 a few years back. It's unconscionable but true. A Lt. and Sgt. are in very hot water over said incident.
To all restaurant owners I apologize for the severe lack in judgment exhibited by some "officers" and I use that term very loosely. Please know that the majority of us aren't like that.

Let me take a wild guess at what type of copper would even go to a place like this in uniform...
No one has figured out that they are bringing back the street deputies. Count on Andrew as one, and Shields as another, the third is a wild card. Bank on it.

Wrong again. Mike Shields is the former DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT of Strategic Deployment. Took a much larger hit in pay when Jodi dumped him than if he had been an ADS.
rumor has it shields will be in charge of vest inspections and fitting all female officers with kevlar panties
Shield DID NOT leave the job to take another job with a different governmental agency. Pay attention! He was DEMOTED to lieutenant. then he left the job (i mean took a leave of absence). he had no job lined up when he left. only through his "clout" and connections did he get that b.s. security job. three years later, through known but unnamed "clout" again, he is back on the job.
Let's see regular blue shirt do that.
We are in feudalistic times. and the police department seems to be part of the feudal land system, where princes and those close to the king get their "piece of land" to rule over, to make sure that piece does not go astray of the king's demands.
Sorry, but where is the conspiracy here?

Before you get all indignant and spank us, you should check your facts.
Now for your surprise. It appears you do not know enough about the the city of Chicago. Workers employed by the Board of Education are not city workers. Although the Mayor runs it, the employees are not city employees. It is one of those Chicago thangs.
Do you still feel all superior 'n shit?
This just in: Lt' Ray Ray has taken a leave and now is teamed up with Mike Masters at the County and is now a deputy Director of hoeland Security for the county, This goof has no clue about homeland issues. But now SWAT will go down hill.
Shields is a cousin of First Lady Michelle Obama.
Maybe he can fill the sham job the U. of C. created for her when Obummer was running for president. The position they never filled when she left to become Spendthrift One. The Obummer's have a real addiction to OPM. I hope after the 2012 election, he is flying around on Air Force One-Term.
"Why would he want a job with the CPD? If my cousin was the wife of the POTUS, I'd want a real, federal law enforcement job or some BS do nothing czar of counting paperclips. Ya gotta aim higher than this stinking place."
The Peter Principle. He can't go somewhere where he might actually be expected to do something.
He's right at home here, counting paper clips, contact cards, etc.
CPD: Where Mediocrity is a Win!

For those who ask why come back, think for a second. Shields wants to return for the PENSION. He had a gold star pension until Weis took it away. So Shields takes a leave of absence til JFled leaves, then he comes back. FOR OUR PENSION.

Don't kid yourself; he came back to be superintendent.
As for the pension, he had a whole career on CPD. He isn't stealing YOUR pension.
