FOP Jumps In
- The Chicago Fraternal Order of Police is concerned about police station lobbies becoming homeless shelters in bad weather.
As WBBM Newsradio[...] reports, a Police Department directive read at roll calls reminded officers that the homeless can use police station lobbies for shelter.
Officers are not too pleased about the arrangement.
They have complained they are first responders, and with the homeless camping out in their places of work, they and others who come to the police stations could be exposed to disease and what one calls “ride-along critters” such as lice and bedbugs.
Also, says Chicago FOP spokesman Pat Camden, the homeless people who come to the police stations could be violent.
Could be? How about "have been." RIP Rick Francis.
As Pat so aptly states, these are government buildings and places of business. Just because we are open 24/7 doesn't mean we're a dumping ground for the unwashed, un-medicated and infested.

why not put them at at a safe, vacant factory? might as well, since these bonehead assholes have run businesses out of our state
some of these people have mental illness, violent, criminal records etc This is not the place to be unless of course something happens and the city wants a huge lawsuit. That would suck, wouldn't it?
It's also a huge safety and security problem. No one is searched, they have mental issues. Look at what happened in Navada. No one saw that coming and the dude kills bunch of people.
Let them sleep in city hall, the aldermans office or the mayors house but not by me.
HEY SCC, Does this mean us suburban PD can drop off our homeless there so we don't have to deal with them. I'm not big on politicians but I could never imagine our Mayor or Chief allowing bums to hang out in the lobby. Not a very good impression for the tax payers to see when they come to the police for help.
You cops are soooo mean! What is the matter with taking a few dozen bedbugs home to meet your family. Have some indigent whino coughing in your face or slobering in your coffee at the desk. I think the lobby and 5th floor of City Hall would be a better dumping ground for the hapless and homeless.

If we have any coppers in Hegewisch, reliable reports have it that the shitbirds in the 'expected area' of town are walking around in groups, threatening white residents- for no reason- with guns.
and neither is any other publicly funded building.Isnt that right?
WE dont want them either but it is a PUBLIC BUILDING payed by TAX DOLLARS. Avoid them come in the back door.
Every one pack a can of Lysol.
I do.
simple.
Maybe this is the administration's way of being able show a reduction in crime, afterall who is going to want to come into a district with these mutts laying around and make a desk report. With the reduction in reports, Rham can claim that his re-allocation of manpower was a huge success in reducing crime...and there will be plenty of people foolish enough to buy into his claims.
Let's see if the CDC gets involved, as they should.
f we have any coppers in Hegewisch, reliable reports have it that the shitbirds in the 'expected area' of town are walking around in groups, threatening white residents- for no reason- with guns.
And this is news? The East Side and Hegewisch have had many of its own 'resident shitbirds' walking around with guns, shooting at each other for several years
now...what's a few more?
We'll they be allowing the homeless to congregate at 35th and Michigan? I'm going to say no. They have three shifts of custodial workers keeping that place spotless while some districts are filth holes.
Just because we deal with the dregs of society on a daily basis doesn't mean we should work in filth.
Boys and girls you’re missing an opportunity. If the cult of global warning fanatics and Democrats get their way our economy will soon collapse and we’ll all be joining the ranks of the filthy unwashed masses. Now is the time to learn from such people the art of living carbon free and one with nature !
Those bastards aren’t an eyesore – they are an educational exhibit demonstrating the future lifestyle of a Chicagoan.
I always love the smell when I walk into the station. Who needs a cup of coffee to wake up when you can have the fresh aroma of smelly feet and shit. The best part of waking up is scabies and TB in your cup.
Yesterday afternoon, a homeless mental in 003 was in the public bathroom ass naked washing himself and his clothes in the sink. He was told to leave. Put his clothes back on dripping wet. I'm sure he was going to use the hand dryer to dry his clothes, which would have taken until this time today to complete. Sad part about all of this, the public washroom in 003 is in a secluded place where no one on the desk can see them, but officers working in the CAPS office which is directly across from the bathroom are at great risk if one of these shitheads looses it.
One solution to this is to retrofit all of the newer stations. The lobbies are too wide open. Put bullet resistent glass in front of the entire desk. You can go into any surburban police station and many large cities and their desk areas are secured. FOP should lobby for these changes immediately.
Gee the FOP is worried about their safety when it comes to the homeless staying in police stations yet wouldn't endorse concealed carry so everyone could feel safer anywhere in the state, what hypocrites you get no sympathy from me

I think the vast majority of our citizens ALREADY realize that trying to report a crime in Chicago is a major clusterf*ck and a whopping waste of their time that could better be used to do some of the following:
RAHM EMANUEL'S TOP 5 LIST OF BETTER THINGS RESIDENTS COULD BE DOING THAN REPORTING CRIMES TO CHICAGO POLICE:
5) Work with local youth groups to develop a better understanding of why roving bands of criminals whose race is not reported need everything you have...
4) Read and BELIEVE the lies that are being told by news reporters who are kissing the mayors' ass thinking that being a friend of the administration will somehow give them credibility as a legitimate reporter...
3) Take a qualifying course for firearm owners and purchase a good weapon (OR SIX!), for protection of your family and property that can no longer be protected by police due to being shorthanded and beefing up of politicians personal security details...
2) Have security systems installed in your homes and autos that include a panic switch to avoid the occasional carjacking...
And the #1 better thing you can do instead of report a crime in Chicago:
1) Have your bullet wounds looked at by a certified ER staff, (good luck, the homeless and unwashed are there also, being treated for everything from alcoholism to scabies thanks to Obamacare!)...
Walk into the second district in the winter time on the 1st watch. The benches look like bunk beds. Some bums are on the top the others are underneath. Hold your breath as the piss & shit from them will take it away.
Maybe the white shirts should consider setting up cots at 35 & Michigan.
Send them to 35th st!
Where are the balless Sgt and LT and CPT ASSns??
Great "leardership" girls!
Why do the blue shirts have to lead from the bottom?
This is all just a little funny ha-ha by 9.5 that was probably whispered in his ear by the stuttering prick.
It's kind of ironic that this idiotic directive comes about just when the anti-Police propaganda machine has people riled up about our "too generous" medical that "allows Police Officers to be off for 365 days every two years."
Misleading, slanderous bitches are pushing the inference that somehow, every member of CPD is taking this time off to rile up the public and further separate CPD from the good will, care and concern of the same.
Good on FOP in finally addressing this... A good watch dog doesn't bark at EVERYTHING that goes bump. 9.5 has a lot of his people posting bullshit rumors and distractors on EVERY local blog, including this one.
Realize that City Hall is going to push for an even more anti-Police slant (if such were ever possible) in the media as Rahm prepares his attempt to run the table on collective bargaining, contractual protection, and wages/benefits in his desire to walk us backwards into the beginning of the 20th Century...
Hey..."We'll Leave the Light On For Ya!"
Please replace: "We Serve and Protect"
-Too funny!
This is payback for the Olympics loss. Just wait, some of these stew bums will get Merit promotions & become your boss !!!!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, police get the crazy, dirty, bug infested rejects of society.
A new political army is forming: HDO (homeless democratic organization).

Hey Karl, a little newsflash for you. We have shitbirds threatening whites for no reason -with guns all over the city, state and country. Arm yourself now!!!
But bottom line is they don't care about US I keep telling people they are gonna do what they want and if you don't like it leave that's why I'm looking to leave this dept. City and state and I only have 10 yrs. On
Got homeless people clogging the entrance to your district station entryways? No problem. The Indiana State Police have shown us the solution!

A soon-to-be published CPD General Order will outline our new policy titled, Accommodations and Travel Arrangements for the Homeless!
Also, a new D2A title of HOMELESS RELOCATION TECHNICIAN will be added. ALL CPD members with a minimum of 4 years experience as a Travel Agent are encouraged to apply for the positions.
How about letting them sleep in the lobby of HQ? They have plenty of room and they can sleep on all those nice couches. If the lobby fills up, they can put the over flow in that all purpose room just off of the lobby.
And don't forget those washrooms for the homeless which most stations will have to allow them to use. How about the showers in the locker room?

That doesn't mean its open for everyone all the time. The White House is paid for by tax dollars, right?
Somebody mentioned carrying a can of Lysol around. How about a fucking FLAME THROWER! I don't want these diseased smelley lice/bedbug infested creatures around me or my family.
Look no furthur. I know where there are 50 chairs plus one right in downtown Chicago. Right in City Hall. The city council chambers. The place is empty most of the time and already is infested with smelly corrupt greedy politicians.
just go around them, claim you caught a Virus, and take a week on the Medical. Fuck being a nice guy anymore with these Socialists running this Kingdom of Corruption.
I have yet to see an "activist" complain about the lack of compassion over these disgusting human beings.
I'm thinking OSHA might be interested in something like this. I can't see them agreeing to a situation like this.
Just because the city thinks they don't have to answer to anyone doesn't mean an agency like O.S.H.A.can't step in and straighten them out.
throw a bar of zest into the lobby. they ll run!
unmedicated? how bout over med.
Here's how to file an OSHA complaint:
http://www.osha.gov/as/opa/worker/complain.html
Chicago North Area Office contact info:
701 Lee Street - Suite 950
Des Plaines, Illinois 60016
(847) 803-4800
(847) 390-8220 FAX
Reference these alleged violation standards:
29 CFR 1910.22(a)- housekeeping requirements
29 CFR 1910.37(a)(3)- exit routes blocked
29 CFR 1910.132(d)- PPE hazard assessment
29 CFR 1910.141(a)(3)(i)- more housekeeping requirements
29 CFR 1910.1030- Bloodborne pathogens
OSHA has 7 days to conduct an inspection once a complaint is filed. You should probably file a complaint when it's forecast to be cold so if a CSHO conducts an inspection he/she will be able to find the alleged violations. Be sure to file a complaint for each station.
Compounded by the fact that no officers work the desk anymore. Sometimes when I go into the station it is like a ghost town in there! We have sunk so low. The last one out please turn off the lights.
How about the Detroit police station shooting on video. Post it here if you have it.
send the pigpens to the CFD. they have beds.
It reminds me of the same "Fuck You" that placed port-a-potties on the police memorial during the Obama Campaign. The same mentality that invites a violent, destructive, expensive Summit into a city that has criminally neglected the staffing of its police dept. Its the same mentality that sells weapons of war to drug cartels so that violence spikes, and more gun control can be justified. Its pure evil and it controls our city, state and country. If now is not the time to protest it never is. We have NOTHING to lose and our city,state and country to save.
Will Rahm let them sleep in the lobby of the new Casino? I think not, but coppers are wothless to this guy, so we can have them infect us.
I am just wondering if the homeless can use lobby at city hall shelter during inclimate weather? I would think that they could hold a lot more homeless there then asll the police stations combined. Damn there is a lobby on every floor.

Well come on down to the 007 dist. We have plenty of desk people. Sounds like a party sometimes with all the loud talking and laughter. Oh wait I forgot they got rid of desk people and watch secretaries! shhhhhhhhh
Lets post Rahmbo's home address in each station and tell them they are welcome in the Mayor's home. Diseases, parasites, mental illness and all. See how he likes being exposed to all that. I like the idea of filling out exposure forms every day you work the desk or have to pass them in the lobby. Lots or airborne illness. And with the bedbug epidemic spreading, will the department compensate us for having to throw away all our possessions and bug bomb our houses if we get exposed? I will certain file a lawsuit for compensation if that happens to me and my family. Putting me and my family's health in jeopardy because the city and state can't manage it's finances is negligent. The FOP needs to file a lawsuit, cause can certainly be shown for a harmful work environment without due protection.
Did you hear all the lockups got mattress. Seems criminals have to be comfortable. Do you think the soldiers in Afghanistan are sleeping on mattresses in air conditioned buildings. Fucking liberal democratic morons. No clue what the savage is really like.
When I gotta piss I'll just stop in the the local station and whip it out in the lobby. No one will notice.
That's not the only place FOP jumped in. I grabbed this off the website. FOP is actually standing up for us!

The Truth About the Medical Roll 09/07/11
Today, the Chicago Sun-Times reports that CPD Officers took an average of 11.6 sick days off in 2009. The United States Department of Health & Human Services reports that U.S. workers take an average of 14 sick days off per year. Truth be told, we are below the national average.
But the good news does not end there. The CPD counts our regular days off as medical roll time when we are on sick leave. Weekends and scheduled days off are not counted in the 14 days that the average American worker takes. When we remove those regularly scheduled days off from our medical roll use, the average Chicago Police Officer used only about 8.2 sick days per year. This figure is a substantial improvement over the national average.
Based on the stats, we really do have good reason to be proud of our work attendance. However, the Mayor clearly believes otherwise. His administration wants to portray the police as greedy and lazy, sitting at home faking illness and collecting a check. It’s not true. But once again, rather than negotiating at the bargaining table, the City is attempting to negotiate our contract in the press.
4228 N. Hermitage Ave.
OR 1730 W. Berteau st.
Are great places to send da piss bums! I mean "clients" as Rahm likes to call these assholes!
Between the roaches & mice on the 3rd floor of HQ....whose gonna mind a few new creatures in the lobby??? SHIT they can keep the 1 guy who secures the damn building on 1st watch company!!! Talk about a safety issue!!! WTF!?! Keep dumpin them out McStupid & leave your guys solo...thought we couldnt work 99 in a car but its ok in HQ when there are walk-ins?

Thank rmd and bonnie amato for the ease-of-entry at our cookie-cutter, new police stations. Both had no clue or a care about the safety and security of our facilities, and rmd made sure that no sworn members took part in the design process.
My wife has worked for the Library for over 30 years, and CPL branches have officially been "warming centers" and "cooling cents" for a looooong time. All the comments I've seen here apply to the library environment in spades. Not only do the libraries have to put up with what we used to call "bums" when the weather is extreme, most branches have at least one bum who hangs around on a daily basis. The libraries have the advantage that they have regular hours rather than having to be open 24/7. On the other hand, librarians don't carry sidearms. ;-)
Name one suburban or state police facility this occurs at. Let's open the state of il bldg. for this

because no one gives a fuck if they shoot at each other. we should so something about them pointing guns at regular people on their way to fucking work.
Outside of handling a bad stinker the living ones are even more challenging.
Whoever put that directive out never had to deal with either one.
FOP should have health experts address roll calls on a regular basis to advise officers on how to help protect themselves.

That is incorrect. Ron Sodini was intimately involved in the design process.
rahm's house should be wide open for all the piss bums--- his house is really like a church, tax exempt--- his wife teaches some type of jewish class out of the house so they have the house listed as a learning institution(school) and pay no property taxes--- I wonder if they were paying the property taxes when they were in washington and renting the house out--- mr cook county assessor, looks like you got some sniffing around to do....
