State Police Hiring
- The Illinois State Police are ready for a new class of cadets.
A class of 74 new recruits starts Aug. 21 and will undergo 25 weeks of training at the agency's training academy in Springfield.
If they make it, they'll graduate in February and then become probationary troopers in districts statewide.
Plus, they'll probably get a springtime tour of the Chicago area during probation. Congratulations!

That 74 number does not even cover their retirements. It's the same b.s. that Rahm hands out with that 200 new officer's for 2012!
Both the State and the City are woefully undermanned!
Check out how many free pens Gov. Quinn hands out each week when he sign's some new law. He could put Office Max, Office Depot and Staples out of the pen business!
Good bless you guys, when riding 99!
I keep my eyes open for you on I-290 when working in 011
A class of 74 when retirements have exceeded probably 400 in the last few years with more retiring by years end. This is more of the same from the Democrats running this corrupt state. They are allowing our public safety ranks for thin out to dangerous levels. Perhaps they have some nefarious plan. I can't think of any logical reason for this. Sooner or later something big is going to happen and there won't be enough coppers available to respond. We are truly screwed.

Speaking of the state police, they made quite the pinch in 016 tonight. Savage attack by another of the non-violent idoc parolees against a former liberal do-gooder! Ma'am, sorry for the ass-whooping you took, glad he didn't kill you, and welcome to the republican party.

Is Gov Stupid looking for reasons to give them MORE free shit?
OT: WTF What is this going to cost the taxpayers?
4:28 a.m. CDT, August 14, 2011
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has signed a bill creating a commission aimed at researching disparities in the African-American community.

By the time the new Troopers are on the road the ISP will probally have another director.
What is the deal with Quinn signing something of no relevance every other day. This guy is starting to be on TV as much as blago during the his trial.

************************
Of COURSE they have a plan.
That plan is being implemented in every major police department across the country.
Dwindle down city resources in all major cities across the country.
Let the crime rates rise slowly.
Bring most of your military back into the country.
Just before the rioting begins, sign an executive order stating military personnel will assume policing duties in major cities across the country, temporarily of course.
Local police are "laid off" and become part of the revolution anyway.
Local ex-police are monitored as they are known weapons holders, anyone with a registered M4 is required to give it up or face prison.
Any police caught rioting or on the street with a weapon will be made an example of as new laws are created to imprison those in possession of a weapon on the street during rioting.
The plan is complete. No more local police. A special "detached" service branch of the federal government who's duties are to assume the role of federal police within this country.
The plan puts financial responsibility on the entire country for policing from that point on.
Federal laws are added to allow for a "federal police force" in our own country.
Cities are allowed to fire all police, and those officers may have the choice to join the new "federal police" agency if certain criteria are met.
Federal police will be paid FAR less than local police, but slightly more than current military personnel get, so many will apply from within the ranks of the military.
Cities will then be absolved from being required to pay pensions to retired officers any longer. That absolution will not be available for court review as laws will be changed to allow cities to stop paying retirements for police officers, and those retired officers will have no legal recourse to sue the cities to get their pensions.
All officers fired will receive exactly their own contributions into the pension funds, nothing more.
Ex-police officers will be forced to find new jobs in their 60's or 70's in order to survive unless they become what they've always faught against all their lives, WELFARE RECIPIENTS.
That's the end folks. No more local police. No more pensions. Ex-police having to become federal or find other work. Retirees being forced to accept "federal" welfare so that they too are dependent on whichever politician swears to give them the most money.
Your lives are over. These prophecies will come to pass within the next year or two.
We all better learn how to survive on our own without a controlled society.
We all better learn now to escape the federal controls that will eventually occur where all people are to be contained within special "federal housing" areas in order to maintain control while they get their free food from federal welfare, provided by prison inmates on work farms.
Learn to live off the grid.
Learn to live in small groups to survive.
Learn how to transport and secure your weapons so the "feds" can't find them.
Learn that your govnerment has failed you because it exists to serve the rich, and "capitalism" has failed us all.
Learn to survive and protect yourself, food stores and loved ones, it's all you'll be doing every day of your life in the very near future.
glad he didn't kill you, and welcome to the republican party.

LOL !!!!! Thats funny
It was actually an off duty copper from 018 that made the pinch in 016. Another reason to ALWAYS carry. Can you imagine living in one of the best neighborhoods anywhere and having to live next to that POS? Too bad the off duty didn't have or take the OPPORTUNITY to send that POS where he belongs which is six feet under!
As they experience the Mayor of Munchkinland's lack of verbal talents during his welcome speech, it will most likely be the first time of many in their careers where they will experience shock and awe. 'Full Kline' will not be there to speak for him.
Hopefully, the new hires will not worry much about the sawed-off boob they will see at the podium. He will be gone in a few years and they will have the remainder of their careers to diminish his taint on a once great agency. Good luck to them and may they remain safe for all the years they dedicate to the ISP.
Wasn't it just within the last year that they were threatening to layoff troopers and close some ISP districts? Didn't they layoff 50 or so?
God bless 'em, but where did they find the money?
New promotion policy for Chicago Police : No more education requirement. Any current sworn officer can sit for a promotional exam for the next higher rank however, if he or she fail the qualifying part they are automatically demoted to the next lower civil service rank.
74 is a drop in the bucket. The ISP has reduced its ranks over the last several years. The Chicago Expressway take over classes from 1996 era are retirement eligible. And no replacements other than these 74 are on the horizon. If 74 graduate...my guess is about 60-65 will make it through the academy.
Is the MUTT LUBERMAN coming back to CPD??? God I hope not, CLTV bylines stated "head of CPS coming back to CPD". As an Exempt or the three year wonder P.O. he was??
More than Hiram did. Hid his whole career. Talked a good game and rode on O'Quins coat tails.Then after he worked with Joe Meidzinowski for a year he went on the medical IOD with a broken hand which he did playing softball ala his sister fell on the rocks at summer mobile but really broke her hand playing volleyball. Keep dreaming Hiram. Your a legend in your own mind little guy.
wow, and I thought the media in chicago was bad. Take a look at this article from new york. Pretty much the entire article bashes the police department, puts a gang in a good light and flat out calls the police department a bunch of WHITE COWARDS... Pretty pathetic.

Maybe we'll see one every once in a while on I-55. Recent batch of vehicle to vehicle shootings appear near to be pretty much non-reported.
I think 010 did one case report for a citizen that got sent back by the Sgt, directing the citizen to call the 847 ISP number and the PO to not worry about the expressway.

Might we all assume that the Lyon IL. PD has no weight or health standards, and no POWER test? LOL
It never ends, they tout about hiring 74 new troops but don't say a thing about current numbers are about 1700, down from a high of ut 2300 about 20 years ago, and current troops are saying that at least 300 will retire by Aug 2012. What you had 20 to 30 years ago guys would work till about 60(forced retirement age) because they still loved the job. Today as soon as most max out they leave, job not what it once was, everybody wants to sue you and then all the politics.

==================================PProfound Hiram, what a brilliant statement.
8/14/2011 04:20:00 AM
Hiram has never been known to be brilliant. Barely functional sometimes, brilliant never.
just heard about a hush meeting at fop with new super its being kept quiet.a personal thanks to 3rd watch at callback(PURGATORY) for the card and donations it helps w 30 pending.my brothers in blue remember it could be you next for any infraction no matter how minor or severe.everyone at callback is not bad alot of us were railroaded by IPRA wheres my union 4yrs there n gonenow 30 pending when will it stop when we will get speedy results with fair discipline like they say the time should fit the crime do we go from little or no disciplinary background to termination thanks hope we all unite to stop this crap and treat us fair we have people who have committed crimes from minor to felonies that are still on payroll and those who committed no crimes just bullshit domestic arguments that we have all had at 1 time or another especially when going thru a divorce from bosses on down yet no 2 officers are ever treated the same when the time comes for discipline thanks again i hope my friends and ex partners over all the yrs will help
OT. After reviewing Moprah's column today, I had to send her the following message:
"Your column is astounding; I have read it for years. But I'm done doing so and purchasing the Scum-Times, as well (which is sad, in a way, as the sports coverage is pretty decent). Your opinions about the treatment of, and entitlements supposedly owing to, Minorities/African-Americans/Blacks (your choice) astound me. Do not bother to respond, as any response will be deleted without being read."
SCC is dead on when it comes to her. If you would like her to know your opinion about her journalism (if you can call it that), you can e-mail her at: mmitchell@suntimes.com
A true POS.
Only in the state of Illinois can trying to get a LE job be like playing the lotto against insurmountable odds. CPD is the worst offender if you ask me. Stretched so thin that they're pulling guys and gals from desks to hit the streets again. BUT STILL let's have waiting lists that take years (not months), just to be given the opportunity to chase scumbags, get shot at, and deal with the worst of society. Wow. And if you get there, the Dept. is so inundated with political/ juice B.S. that promotions or special units are not given on TRUE merit. Sheriff's is the same. The only reason there's a steady hiring of CO's lately is because of a federal mandate. Try getting onto Sheriff's Police or a special unit and it's the same thing. This year's CCSPD's cadet class is said to have a whopping 19 new slots for prospective officers.
It just doesn't make sense with all the tax revenues this state generates, and city fees Chicago gets. We should have the resources to get a prospective LEO applicant from zero to academy door in no more than six months.
Bottom line: If you want to be a copper, go west young man (LAPD, etc,) cause this place is a joke.

Stop Stealing Chapters from "1984" and quit smoking the Dope you seize.
Jagoff.
Congratulations to the new troopers. I wish you guys and gals the best of luck and a very long career. In a time of economic uncertainty this is a great career and I wish you nothing but the best.
25 weeks???? They only gave us a star, ID and inspected out right rear pockets to make sure our .38 would fit in it.

More info please? I live in 016. Thanks.
Off topic but just asking when did the English Gov't become such spineless pussies? They had 700 yrs of treating the Irish worse than slaves and now they won't use a water cannon on stonecold shitheads? That Rotten Prick Oliver Cromwell must be rolling over in his grave.
OT: K9 handlers....HB1195 has passed the House & awaits the Gov's signature. Next year's K9 certs should be interesting since CPD will be held to a state standard.
Learn that your govnerment has failed you because it exists to serve the rich, and "capitalism" has failed us all.
Capitalism didn't fail us, the government did. If the politicians didn't tinker with the system it would work just fine.
The problem is when the government forces banks to give loans to unqualified borrowers, or when the government bails out certain industries because they are too big to fail. That's where the problem comes from. If it was a bad system, why did communist China turn to it to grow their economy.
8:15 am, take a chill dude.
Thanks to the officers in 016 who assisted my mother yesterday.
Your hard work and dedication is greately appreciated.
Hmm... I'm thinking about getting a job.

(OT) In our careers as DOA copper,s at Midway all of us have seen some crazy shit but this is the topper.
CPD has vehicles that CPD coppers use at the airport for patrol. Then there are 2 "special" vehicles that are kept in great condition 2 Chevrolet Impala police 9C1 spec cars, these cars are fully marked. Ok now here we go, it seems that the airport commissioner got mad when her city car and her friends car who has a job making to much money that buys cars taken away also. Guess what? They took the 2- 1 year old police Impalas that they call "parade cars" CPD uses for special events at the airport like when a first responder here or anywhere in the country needs family transported,or a soldier who is hurt or killed needs family transported as a courtesy these 2 vehicles are kept clean and ready to go.
In her wisdom the cars purchased for CPD were removed from service with CPD and get this the stripes were taken off,and CPD equipment stripped as the guy who buys cars laughed "Rahm thinks he can take our cars,we got 2 more." I know unbelievable wish i had a picture incredible the gall of a commissioner mad because her car was taken from her making what $175,000 per year what a waste!
Guess it means fuck the people who need care in their time of need hopefully rahm reads this and dumps her along with her gang of followers time to clean house Mayor.

where to begin?
1. "Capitalism didn't fail us, the government did. If the politicians didn't tinker with the system it would work just fine."
not exactly.
you see, you're thinking of capitalism as it used to be, that is, capitol is raised, invested in the purchase of materials, equipment, facilities, utilities, labor, etc., and goods and/or services are offered to the consuming public for purchase, lease, etc., thus generating both incomes, in profits and dividends paid to investors, and expenditures, as in wages to employees, costs of utilities, materials and equipment purchased, facilities constructed, advertising, etc.
investors invested, workers worked, consumers consumed, and everybody earned a living.
for some time now, however, capitalism has meant, to the practitioners, something similar to what 'entitlements' mean to the common link card holder, namely, 'get me more for less, today!!!'.
stocks are now seen as a lotto ticket, traded primarily for their potential, short term increase in value, and no longer as an investment, whose primary attractiveness is steady, reliable dividend production.
opening up the trading of stocks to practically anyone and everyone has, rather than improved the common working man's financial condition, caused the loss of employment opportunities available to same.
when publicly owned corporations have, as their primary financial motivation, the inflation of their stock's value, said inflated value being driven by the perception of short term profit gains, said gains being achieved by exporting labor to exponentially cheaper market regions, the short term opportunities for harvesting wealth are achieved at the expense of long term national economic stability.
2. "The problem is when the government forces banks to give loans to unqualified borrowers,"
the above shift in the major level employers' business strategies has, over the past several decades, resulted in huge numbers of gainfully employed citizens being relegated to the financial status of 'barely making ends meet', thus increasing the number of "unqualified borrowers", primarily of real property secured loans, which, i presume, is what you refer to.
unsecured, by real property, lending is still going strong, albeit at double digit interest rates, as the bulk of those "unqualified borrowers" still are extended, nay, encouraged, if not compelled, to go deeper and deeper into debt, just to 'make ends meet'.
the lending industry does not seem to object to this phenomenon.
3. "...or when the government bails out certain industries because they are too big to fail."
not "too big to fail", but, rather, too reliably lucrative providers of interest income to those holding the debts said industries have had to incur, just to 'make ends meet'.
4. "If it was a bad system, why did communist China turn to it to grow their economy."
they haven't turned to capitalism on the production side, only on the consumption side, ie., we are their target consumers, not merely as consumers of the goods they produce, but also consumers of the very dollars we've used, over the past few decades, to purchase said products.
we've failed to practice conservative capitalism in this country for decades, and, as a result, this failure is now coming back to bite us in the ass, with a vengeance.

Ah, another hair gel speaks. Get a little time on the job, kid, and you'll see we all have police work to do. All of it is important and all of it is dangerous.
I wouldn't want to be stopping anybody on a deserted stretch of highway without my partner.
Get over yourself. We are brothers wearing different hats.
not exactly.

We are not a pure capitalistic system. The government sticks its nose in to promote economic stability and growth. But my point is they are too much into telling business what to do.
the above shift in the major level employers' business strategies has, over the past several decades, resulted in huge numbers of gainfully employed citizens being relegated to the financial status of 'barely making ends meet', thus increasing the number of "unqualified borrowers", primarily of real property secured loans, which, i presume, is what you refer to.

The lending industry was forced by the government to give loans to unqualified borrowers, period. If they didn't, the government told the banks they would impose sanctions on them. Look up the Community Reinvestment Act for proof of that.
not "too big to fail", but, rather, too reliably lucrative providers of interest income to those holding the debts said industries have had to incur, just to 'make ends meet'.
Six of one, half dozen of the other, so whats your point?
. "If it was a bad system, why did communist China turn to it to grow their economy."
they haven't turned to capitalism on the production side, only on the consumption side, ie., we are their target consumers, not merely as consumers of the goods they produce, but also consumers of the very dollars we've used, over the past few decades, to purchase said products.
They moved to a capitalist system, private ownership of business. People with nothing, working on farms, now living in cities, making money, buying goods. Sounds like capitalism to me.
we've failed to practice conservative capitalism in this country for decades, and, as a result, this failure is now coming back to bite us in the ass, with a vengeance.
8/15/2011 01:06:00 AM
I don't know what conservative capitalism is, but we sure don't adhere to the "laissez faire" let it be economy.
I have often wondered why we need a state police in the first place. Every road in the state patrolled by ISP is within a city or a county.
Maybe the state should pay the counties/cities to add local police to patrol those roads and get rid of the ISP altogether except for a small staff to investigate prison crime and similar situations.
Sign me up, I finally get to move out of this shithole and live like a king downstate.

Gethe fuck out of this place if you can. this pussy Guv Queer will destroy this state. Its a matter of time before he takes what's yours, tax or other means,and gives to them. He's no different than the socialist President, possibly even more dangerous.
I think I'm taking the test. I'm done with this idiotic department. they dont have boxes in the state police department.
Be careful riding 99
They are in a worse financial situation than we are!! Dont go there it will be worse!!! Many ISP officers are worried and looking to leave.
Stay safe, all of you, and God Bless!
More traffic pimps.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So traffic laws don't need to be enforced? You sound like someone who just got off of probation. Those ISP guys do work that would make you shit in your underalls. Try writing tickets, handling accidents, chasing goofs and making investigative stops when thousands of cars are flying by at 70-90 MPH. And oh yea, all while riding 99. Their backup might be ten miles away, and that's just here on our expressways and shit. In some areas of the state, they are the only police around for many miles, sometimes a hundred miles or so. They also have a kick ass investigative arm.
So little boy, go back to sitting in the hole, writing cracked windshields, two parkers and signing the park log.
As I've said before, leave the police work to the grownups.
To any troopers, this asswipe is not representative of how we feel about you at all.
Stay safe.
