BIG NEWS (bumped)
The Chicago Police Department will close three district police stations in 2012 — Wood, Belmont and Prairie — consolidate police and detective areas from five to three and merge Police and Fire Department headquarters and specialized units, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Tuesday.
Instead of having “overlapping functions” in the Police and Fire Departments overseeing anti-terrorism, marine activities, helicopter and bomb and arson, those units will join forces under “single leadership” for “better coordination at key moments,” the mayor said.
The merger of special units and the combined Police and Fire headquarters at 35th and Michigan will create a “more agile bureaucratic structure” that Emanuel called unprecedented.
Emanuel will unveil his 2012 city budget at a special City Council meeting on Wednesday, using a mix of budget cuts and targeted tax and fee increases to erase a $635.7 million shortfall.
More as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Post moved from 5:26 PM on Tuesday to the top spot for Wednesday.

Where do they have the Fire Department anti-terrorism unit? And when was the last time CFD recovered evidence in a murder case and went to court to testify in the murder trial? Ever see any Firefighters at the ME's office attending an autopsy?
This place is a fucking joke. Pretty soon they will change the name to the New York Police Department, Lake Michigan Division.

Cortez Trotter or Ron Huberman?
“More agile bureaucratic structure...”
Oxymoron.
That Rahm and McCarthy are smart .
Closing 3 districts and merging areas will put more Police Officers back in a beat car , supervisors on the street and eliminate 7 command exempt staff.
Just think about it , districts will now have 90 agressive tactical officers assigned to beat cars . Maybe now we can get time due and have more 2 man cars.
Now it's wait and see if they eliminate command exempt staff from the small units erps , crime lab , mlas , special functions.
oh crap. there goes any hope of a summer furlo any time soon
No big deal really.
Only thing that 019 does is Street Cleaning and Rush Hour ticketing.
Other than that the PO units Hide all shift from the Sgts and Clout.
And where will the people work when they consolidate the areas?
Area 1 has been remoldeled a few years ago are they going to close it? Area 2 is a dump with little room for anyone.
The work load will remain the same or increase.
Will this work, they will say it will Ha Ha Ha
The districts to be closed will hurt the Neighborhoods and the delivery of police services. Beats will be consolidated so they can claim full man power
SMOKE and MIRRORS rule the day
Again I tell you, WHY DO WE NEED 50ALDERMAN RAHM!!! If you want to save us money..OUR MONEY!! Get rid of 28 ALDERMAN NOW!! One per Police District, eliminating the need for multiple rented offices, eliminating the need for paid security (because they'll be protected by the on-duty Police officers in the Districts they are assigned)eliminating the need for excessive office staff. All of which would save the city MILLIONS!!! Think about, if you need to protest something.. THIS IS WORTHWHILE!!
19 closing... where is the preadator gonna go???
closing areas??? that is gonna be intresting..... what about court??? juves...etc???
So where do those Commanders go? Is this an opportunity for McFool to launch some bad Cmdrs and replace them with the Cmdrs currently in 013, 019 and 021? I've heard good things from fellow cops about 013 and 019 commanders. Both easily can go to "neighboring" districts. Gross can go to 014 (replace Flores) and Kenny to to 023 (Boehmer). Had to look up Elmer. Never heard of him.
I love my captain with this new "agility" she will became vice-commander without the pay of the commander. Does this plan have them taking unpaid furlo days as well?
Amen , about time .
Next eliminate commanders from units , replace commanders with lts. or sgts.Save the pension.

You are a fine example of what is wrong with our department. We need to stand united together. We need to support each other instead of tearing each other down. I don't work in 019, I work in 025. My life isn't exactly a picnic, but I don't care what others do or don't do. I only care that we stand together and take care of each other. We are all that we have.
They wouldn't say which 2 Areas will close, but does it seem likely that Area 3 has to be one of them since they're closing the Belmont District?
That leads me to ask, aren't there also maintainence facilities at Belmont? Where does the 9 1/2 fingered wonder plan on moving that to?
I.a.d. your next
Just in time for Capt. Barbie to go on the medical for her annual Christmas recurring IOD.
See you bitches in 016 in January!
Any man South of Madison (Southside Detectives) that vote for Rahm should be hung.!!!!!
Area sgts. are starting to scramble for the good spots......
This is great! Should have stream lined the department 25 years ago.
Area 5 will merge with Area 3. they will cover the 8 Northside districts left after 13 & 19 shut down. Detective Division North will have the whole building at Belmont and Western and the old Area 3 detectives will finally get some work to do
The big deal about this is not that 019 is a busy district, it is that it houses a range, functioning lockup, detective division, gas pumps, motor maintenence and a court branch. This is typical stupid city planning. They have had the opportunity to close 023 for almost 40 yrs!!! 023 was the original 019. It got renamed 023 because by the time they changed their mind about closing Addison and Halsted, the new building on Belmont was already marked 019. I wouldn't be surprised if they survive the chopping block somehow. Maybe they were only put on there as a sign by Rahm that he was willing to make the "sacrifice" of his own district. The funny thing is, most fo the money could be saved just by taking a much needed surgical knife to our extremely top heavy brass.

This has absolutely nothing to do with putting asses in seats and everything to do with saving money. Do you think hundreds of P.O.'s are flooding into where you work and Rham is going to lay waste to exempts? Exempts are political appointees. That's how he controls the department and rewards friends and friends of friends. Mike Madigan isn't asking Rham to make sure his minion's son can get time due on Halloween from his 1st watch beat car in 006. No one, not even your union bosses, cares about you or helping you out. Everyone that can influence the situation is looking out for himself and his friends. It's a city job, that's how it works.
Belmont & Western . .
What about the courts???
Will the county take over the building???
Hello Tiny Dancer???
What is the REAL SCAM behind this?
O/T but just as important
Condolences to the family of Brian McDonald of the Bomb & Arson Unit on the death of his 3yr old daughter Kendall McDonald. So sad. Earths loss is Heaven's gain. RIP Sweet Beautiful Angel!!! Wishing a complete recovery to his wife, daughter and all those involved.
commander of doc is now chief of all units relating to this subject.
That's not happening!!!!! You heard it here first!
They will probably close Area 1 & Area 3.
Area 2 here I come
I'm guessing area 3 will be one of the areas. Now they can bring back Riverview!
There is crying in some beer tonight.
I like how they wait until after the Oct. 1 dead line for the 55 medical benefit. I'm sure 019 will have some rush retirements.
Wow 019?? Rahm lives there. Is he ok with less police watching his neighborhood?? Is he really in charge?
Now do people understand why the U of C PD has been changing.
Shameful. I feel bad for the those P.O.'s and Sgt's in those 3 districts. There's some good officers there. They'll be screwed over just like MSF and TRU of course. They will live out of their car trunks for a year or so in districts over an hour away from their home. And forget about making vacation plans or spending time with your family because they will get bounced around the city for the next 12 months like a PPO. And are those "aggressive tactical officers" going to make arrests and then go to a court branch on the other side of the city? I doubt it.
And for those haters who work in the ghetto and shrug their shoulders at 3 slow districts closing, remember. This shows you what City Hall thinks of us all and it affects us all. A great motivator to do any work for the city huh?
and we all get a "super bid" to ghetto districts...fuck this city
the more taxes you pay the harder you get fucked! Gotta love this place
All of these reductions in manpower, closing stations, re-writing General Orders to change the Duites of Capt, Lt, Sgt and Po can be linked to the Civilian Contractors who were running around stations in 2009 thru 2010. They acted like they had all the answers to fix what was not broken. Some of them actually hung out with us and acted like they were our best friends. Now look at the back stabbing they are giving us. Thanks MB!
Any word on how they will be distributing extra bodies? When will all this take place?
When did the Fire Department become sworn law enforcement officers, with the power of arrest?
O yea thats right they dont want you to arrest anyone. I also understand that all female prisoners from the whole city are gonna be sent to 001.
Ya bad news for us at Prarie we are a comin....Bad news for u we bringin capts White and Helm with us.
I love, absolutly LOVE that we find out this information from Chicago Breaking and (no offence!) SCC. WHY in the fuck sodent that Supt address these issues to US dirrectly, then release this to the media.
Fuck him and the mayor.
I heard that 17 is shutting down lockup and all arrest will go to area 5.
Guess what else?
After failing in Washington Bill Daley can't wait to get back home!
==========================
Bill Daley: I'm leaving White House after Obama re-election
[...]
The election is Nov. 6, 2012.
Daley spoke last week to Norah O’Donnell, chief White House correspondent for CBS News, who interviewed Daley last week at a panel discussion at the Newseum.
She said that when he was brought into the White House, there was discussion that he would strengthen ties with Capitol Hill and the business community and asked: “How’s that going?”
“It’s going great,” Daley said, drawing laughter from the audience. “Can’t you tell? I mean, you know, things are just really great. There’s no problem and (the) business community loves us and they love the rhetoric and there are just no problems.”
Since Daley came on board, Obama’s job approval rating has fallen to record lows as the administration has confronted an unemployment level in the 9-percent range.

===================================
Maybe he'll get a position over at Second City or the Comedy Shack?
So does everyone from 019 move into the new 023 station and then we all patrol from the lake to california and fullerton to lawrence? What will they do with the building of former 019?
who's gonna claim the D-BAG from 019 who writes everyone (including P.O. family members) traffic tickets non stop.....?????
Where's the D-BAG gonna end up....come on out south so you can deal with real criminals and we'll see how tough you are when you end up stopping gangbangers after gangbangers and not middle age people who work for a living.
By the way if some of you don't know who this D-BAG is just look for the guy who has a XXX-LARGE HEAD with a Moe Howard haircut.
Someone even told me he looks very similar to HERMAN MUNSTER without the cool car or the semi-hot wife.
You know they can close stations and areas, who cares. Just don't fuck with my pension!
I finally make 20 years and now they start this shit. WTF
Guys at work say they can't mess with it but I don't believe it cause even Mike Madigan is turning on the unions.
We are in big trouble cause now the mayor is portraying us as a bunch of greedy jerks.
When will it end.
If that's the way it's gonna be just give mean full refund on my pension and I will invest it myself...
But if they close these stations where are all the homeless people going to go this winter?
Since 019 is going its safe to say A/3 is going along with it. Looks like A/5 will take up the slack. Area 1 will pick up most of A/4 and A/2 will take a dist or 2 from A/1.
I can understand the smaller districts, but 019/area 3? So will the 024th district be bringing prisoners to 025? what about the dicks responding to a scene an hour or more away. hahahaha slash and burn baby!!!
fop,fop,fop...does anyone know where the fop hacks are? anybody?
The beatings will continue until moral improves!!!
FUCK YOU RAHM!! FUCK YOU GARRY!!

Good one!
So Garry, when do we get dark blue shirts, shields instead of stars, 8 sided caps, specialized unit patches, blue cars with white stripes, districts renamed to precincts, collar unit ID brass, different shields for different PO ranks and other NYPD bullshit?
I am not driving my pruny little ass from O'Hare to 35th or where else? Area 4? I'd rather retire or have one last tune-up, some medical time and adios. How many people are going to want to be dets if it involves a 90 min. commute each way????
do you think he may NOW take away the discretionary fund from the alderman...and take away from the alderman who still have milions in their accounts? that may help abit and tell that lil guy who ran the city into the ground to have his family memembers and friends return the money...ah and the new districts that where built that are falling apart..maybe that is how the city will save money when the new buildings come tumbling down on us......
Seriously, I'm going to drive from Area 4 to interview victims up in the Juneway jungle? Dets will spend all their time driving to and from, cutting down time left for investigations.
And just who is going to do all the packing? Who's going to keep track of the files? Logistical nightmare if you ask me....and oh yeah, where the hell are we going to park?
Yeah that whole combined resources thing is a great idea, just look at how well it worked in NY on 9-11 and since then. Two more years, two more years.....
:-(
Just buy us all I-Pads that can do Case Reports and Arrest Reports that give us the ability to send the case to the Victim. Make the info on the case compatable with the arrest to streamline the process. Our current system is like bringing a " Pong Game" into an Apple Store to be fixed. Most of PDT's in the veh's don't work anymore and the feature that is supposed to carry over info to arrest reports never has worked. There is no reason we can't E-mail the Vic the RD#.
Seriously, where the fuck is everybody going to park? What about lockers? Sheeeeeiiiit. You will have to park blocks away and wait for the bus--which you will have to pay for, because your button is no longer good---coming soon.
It appears I will be starting a bid for the 3 extra lockers I have in a certain westside Detective Div.
Hopefully these guys don't get moved until after furlough pics
It will be interesting to see if Rahm takes the bottom 200 detectives to be station gets. That means the last guy on the chopping block would be a retired commander's son. We'll see if he gets launched or somehow the list "goes around" him???
Gonna be interesting to see who deals with a female lock up....

Except that 019 can't even do that right. Evening rush hour streets are a joke.
Big command changes coming on Friday. Take it to the bank!
Wow! Shit-canning 019. Curious. Since Rahm like isn't gonna replace the soon to be shit-canned stations, we'll go from 25 to 23 districts? If yes, how will they go about re-numbering districts? Or will they even re-number them? Just stay with the remaining district numbers and forget there was ever a 013, 019, or 019? What a flustercuck!
Will all of the crimes in these districts disappear, thus reducing crime in Chicago, once these stations are closed?
Only thing that 019 does is Street Cleaning and Rush Hour ticketing.
Your a punk coward.
Close them all except maybe 5,give us take home cars like the State police and we start when we get in the car! Sorry this is the shitty of shitcago we can all take the bus! Shit they are eliminating bus and rail routes!
Do not be quick intaking pleasure in the misfortune of others. Rahm and McGoof will spread pain to us all befor it is over
Masters, Hamilton, and Huberman will all return, in a BIG way!
I guess its easier to close these old ass crapy leaky mold infested buildings down then bring them up code. Before you know we are all gonna be working out of large tents that will be pitched in the large parks around the City. Shit I thought they were making progress when the put AC in the old 015, then we realized it was just for the lockup because then new computerized fingerprint machine wouldnt work because it was too hot in the station in the summer.
Yes, the citizens of Chicago are clamoring for less service from their Police and Fire Departments.
No cuts in the giveaways to the illegals. No thought to how much the "Sanctuary City" status costs us. Less money for police and more money for illegals and crime. Yep. That will work.

AMEN BROTHER!!! Well said and so TRUE!!! That's the biggest problem we have....sticking TOGETHER as BROTHERS IN BLUE!Be SAFE one and ALL, no matter where you work
All you dickheads who think districts like 19 are full of ticket writers are morons. It'sfull of po's who used to work in the ghettos and had sense enough to realize that those hampster wheel districts are just animal cages and nobody gives a shit about the police anyway.
You'll learn.
Rhams going yo balance the city budget if its kills us!!!
Fire and police together Ok the CFD guys are never around. Well if theres food.

Dude, he's a feeble, little man who thinks he's the "real police" because he works in the ghetto and thinks that those in 019 were lucky/smart enough to get the hell out & service the TAXPAYERS aren't as good as he is.
Officer Richard Francis was 60 years old and had been with the Chicago Police Department since 1981 worked in 019 and he was KIA.
Was he the "real police"? Yes! RIP
"This is great! Should have stream lined the department 25 years ago."
Perhaps, but they should've started at the top and worked their way down.
News Flash!!!!
For those of you who don't know, Investigative Services is now the Bureau of Detectives. The to-from format has been changed a number of times from the powers that be because they couldn't decide if the areas were a section or a division. We are now back to being a division. There's some HUGE decision making being done at 35th street headed by Mc Joyzee.
I honestly feel badly for the pos in these districts that are getting shit canned. You get 20 years (which a lot of them have) plus on the job and get your spot on your watch secured, and then some asshole throws a wrench in it and you may have to rearrange your whole life. Not to mention the pos in the districts that will be absorbing all of these orphans, who will yet again move down in seniority after the whole msf business. The one thing you used to be able to count on was your seniority when it comes to bidding to a watch. Now everyone is taking a hit. It sucks. I've worked in a ghetto district my whole career, and I had looked forward to going to someplace a little quiter eventually. Now, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'll be sure to go out and make some arrests though....
We will see where the personal from the closed districts go, they should go to the districts that gain the beats. I would bet most PO's will only get the shaft and a super bid south.
"Before you know we are all gonna be working out of large tents that will be pitched in the large parks around the City."
That, or we'll just have mobile police stations that camp out in vacant lots for weeks at a time.
When trouble sprouts up somewhere else, we'll pull up the stakes and move there, kind of like an aircraft carrier.

Now I dont agree with him writting other coppers if he is but he did his time fighting the savage in 015.

Baby, trust me, that has NOTHING to do with the quality of your police officers! It has EVERYTHING to do with the quality of the citizens who live in 019!
Why do you think the department is conducting all of these locker audits? 200 detectives to the districts, Happy New Year's boys.
Can't wait for G 8.
There will be three Areas.
North, Area Three, Dist's 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24 and 001. North will take over the entire building at Belmont and Western.
West, Area Four, Dist's 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15 and 25.
South, Area One, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
All Areas will have a Deputy Chief's Office and two lock ups.
Area Two and Five Dets will bid to North, South or West Areas.

Before I start, I'm white not Hispanic.

Two serious questions. Does anyone know the Mayor's E-mail address. I can't find it anywhere on the net and all attempts to guess at it based on other city E-mails have failed. Second, does anyone know if there is anyway a citizen or group of citizens can begin the process of getting a proposition put on the ballot demanding the reduction in the number of aldermen?
There will be political and citizen outcry.. They will end up leaving 019 open... You will see.. There will be an about face in a short time...
The new consolidated districts will get about 1/3 of the manpower from the closed district. That way the mayor can sell how the new consolidated districts have so many officers to the residents and leave out the fact they actually are losing the majority of officers to the south side non tax paying residents. Also non bid management getting moved very soon and mgmt POs shortly after. The rest of the POs will later be subject to southside superghetto bid. From a little birdie.
rahmulus will present his budget and it will be an eye popper--- rahmulus is a millionaire and doesn't have the same concerns and worries that the ordinary citizen lives with every day--- he is a carpet bagger and thief who needs to get rahmboyovitched by the "g"---

You can't be serious?
i currently work in a "retirement district." I just wanted to say that i never had as much fun, better co-workers, or better bosses as the days i worked in the "ghetto districts."
Please keep that in mind. The grass is not always greener.
When the districts and Area's close we must stick together. For those who haven't worked in the busier districts in years. A rude awakening is coming. These morons have no respect for the police. Since we can't stop them from closing districts maybe just maybe we can ban together and handle business and take pookie to school and make him realize we aren't taking their shit anymore. The ultimate goal is that each and everyone of us go home safely. I can't stop them from closing a district but i can have another officers back.
What's in 019 anyway. Oh that's right, nothing!
Now u guys and gals can finally do some work.
If anyone is unlucky enough to get sent to 023, do yourself a huge favor and bid to days or midnights. You'll know why once you get there and trust me, you will thank me later.

they are going to bring riverview back that is why they need the property that 19/a3 is on.
Shut down 019. Smart move. How many po's and sgts on watches compared to other dists. , vs crime. This is just the start of doing away with waste. 25 dists. with Tact Lts watching 3 teams only. Area teams overlapping other teams. Many districts are still short and po's would appreciate time off instead of being denied.
I thought they just built a new building for the 19th. Took about poor planning. That is Chicago for us.
But if they close these stations where are all the homeless people going to go this winter?
take them to your house
This won't hit home until the first time someone gets killed transporting a violent prisoner 25 minutes to a lock-up.

This is all about getting rid of Daley's people and putting Rahm's people in.
changes will happen you heard it here first
I would hope that the brass takes the officers from these districts and places them into the surrounding districts that absorbs these areas.
But this is Chicago and who are we kidding... they are going to be screwed three ways from sunday and tossed in with the rest of the MSF and TRU misfits.
Welcome to the revolution. Your police department is no longer yours. We might as well consider ourselves the 6th Burough AKA West New York.
Has anyone explained to these asswipes that an officer that has to drive over an hour to get to work and then an hour to get back is not going to do ANYTHING during their workday for fear that they will be required to go to court over an hour from their house. On paper they are streamlining everything in truth they are just killing the working police.

On the bright side, if someone would please inform the gang bangers in 002 and 021 that we will all be one big happy district, maybe the'll stop shooting each other on either side of Cottage Grove.
So, do you think there's gonna be any openings next period?
Anyone working in an old building should start looking at a district with a new station. That's the only thing that saved 012 because the city already started on it before 9.5 took the helm.
Lock up space won't be a problem in 002. If it gets too crowded we can throw some of them in the huge pot holes in the police parking lot, then put a civilian to stand guard over the hole.

who's gonna claim the D-BAG from 019 who writes everyone (including P.O. family members) traffic tickets non stop.....?????
Where's the D-BAG gonna end up....come on out south so you can deal with real criminals and we'll see how tough you are when you end up stopping gangbangers after gangbangers and not middle age people who work for a living.
By the way if some of you don't know who this D-BAG is just look for the guy who has a XXX-LARGE HEAD with a Moe Howard haircut.
Someone even told me he looks very similar to HERMAN MUNSTER without the cool car or the semi-hot wife.

Got news for u kid that D-Bag you talkin about worked in 015 back in the day when (the savages were droppin 3 bodies in that district on you) and probably one of the toughest motherfuckers on this job he didnt beat the shit out people when they were handcuffed either many out the joint 3 squares day pumping iron muscle head savages came out of the joint and tried him and lost big plus it was pretty cool when he shot putted some savage in the station one day into the rotating ceiling fan after this savage broke another coppers arm.
Now I dont agree with him writting other coppers if he is but he did his time fighting the savage in 015.
10/12/2011 12:25:00 AM
I also got news for you as I also was from 015 and remember him there. However I can tell you he has definitely changed since he left, and I also do not agree with him writing every person he comes into contact with. I mean come on he should used a little discretion once in a while.

You thought wrong
I used to work in 019. I can't imagine the shock on the PO's faces after hearing this announcement. When I worked in 019 you needed over 20 years to get days. When I left you needed over 10 years to get afternoons. The most senior officers will be headed to 020 and 023 (those districts have to get some of the officers). Officers who can't retire are going to really irritate their new districts with their seniority.
The phone at the FOP must be ringing off the hook. I can easily see an extra 100 retirements in the next 6 months with 013, 019, and 021 closing.
I thought CPD would go to 3 areas. I thought Area 4 and either Area 1 or 2 would get the axe. Lots of money in Area 3. I won't put the RIP on Area 3 until the fat lady has finished her song.

I can understand the smaller districts, but 019/area 3? So will the 024th district be bringing prisoners to 025? what about the dicks responding to a scene an hour or more away. hahahaha slash and burn baby!!!
10/11/2011 08:02:00 PM
They are closing the lockup in 023 and also the entire 019, which has the only female lockup in A3. So there will be NO female lockup in A3 and no lockup at all in 023/019.
Good planning.
I hope we bring all prisoners from 019/023 to A5. That will mean it is a 3 or 4 hour round trip on a bullshit arrest. I can work with that. The experienced patrolman always looks for the silver lining to every cloud.

I agree with you. But the illegals get to many freebies that is what happened to the United States send them back to where they came from and see how many freebies they get
I hear all the south side "Revs" have been lining up outside Rahms office screaming for a lions share of the personnel from the closing districts.
023rd District has PLENTY of parking, lockers, and a nice workout room. Come on east, this is by far not a hellhole. The only concern I have is equipment. Unless they add another radio room, there are not enough radios or room to add additional chargers. I know for a fact that on a few occasions, we've had to call some 3rd watch late cars in, so that we can give radios to the cars from nights. GOOD LUCK TO ALL...THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

Shameful. I feel bad for the those P.O.'s and Sgt's in those 3 districts. There's some good officers there. They'll be screwed over just like MSF and TRU of course. They will live out of their car trunks for a year or so in districts over an hour away from their home. And forget about making vacation plans or spending time with your family because they will get bounced around the city for the next 12 months like a PPO. And are those "aggressive tactical officers" going to make arrests and then go to a court branch on the other side of the city? I doubt it.
And for those haters who work in the ghetto and shrug their shoulders at 3 slow districts closing, remember. This shows you what City Hall thinks of us all and it affects us all. A great motivator to do any work for the city huh?

Stabbed twice, shot at five times and shit/puked on? And you never wanted to leave, even though your 20 years would have allowed you to bid out? Who's the bitch, you donkey...
Before they close districts and merge units within CPD and CFD how about eliminating some alderman!
Just because they're closing these places doesn't mean the coppers won't work in those geographic areas.
The displaced coppers will report to different buildings, get their gear, radios and cars, and then go patrol (for example) 013 just like they always have. Sure, some of the manpower will probably be "redistributed" to other districts in that area when the Sheeple aren't paying close attention, but its not like the residents of 013 have just lost all their police.
Did anyone in their right mind really think all the police from 013, 019 & 021 would just "disappear" forever? Maybe I missed it, but all I've seen thus far are posts declaring that the sky is falling. "Oooh-Emmm-Geee!!! There'll be no police patrolling the areas formerly known as the Wood, Belmont and Prairie districts! What ever will we do"?!?!?
So...RELAX all you worthy citizens of this fair city!!! The only ones GETTING FUCKED are the police...AGAIN!!!!
Some folks will have to plan on adding a half hour or more to their travel times to and from work. A lot will go without lockers. Many will find their personal vehicles burglarized upon returning to them because they have to park on a side street 2 blocks from their new station (Hint: remove that stupid fucking hatband from your rearview mirror and all them damned police-y decals and stickers from the windows, Hair Gel!!). You think the house mice have it rough now in some places? Wait until they have to absorb the overflow of idiots from closed districts wanting to report their LINK card missing or drug dealing tenant.
I believe each unit will still pick furloughs as a "unit", regardless of where they work from. 019 will still pick furloughs based on 019s manpower & seniority. Furthermore, younger folks are already crying about losing "good" furloughs if the aforementioned isn't the case. Reminder: the number of people allowed to furlough is a PERCENTAGE of manpower assigned to any given district/unit, more specifically 8% for every period except the 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th periods (7% for these) - so this really shouldn't be a big issue if this is what happens.
Likewise, the city will have to honor an officer's current watch - Management Dollies probably excluded. D.O.G.s will probably be a different story until watch selection time roll around. To do otherwise would be a logistical nightmare and cost the city a ton of money once grievances were filed and won by affected officers.
NOW will all you hard-charging Hair Gels finally figure it all out? OR will you STILL be out there humping for numbers and revenues to keep that early car? I think I know the answer to that question...
You folks think this is an inconvenience? Wait til you see what Raccoon Eyes has planned for your pension. How's working years past your projected retirement date because the City of Chicago and State of Illinois isn't finished raping you sound as an inconvenience?
The next step is 12 hr days.
As someone who has a little (not claiming to be Jack Bauer) experience in the CT field, having a combined CPD and CFD unit for terror response actually sounds like a good idea. HOWEVER, I don't for a minute think that is the reason CFD is moving into our HQ... it is a brilliant rationalization though.
Rather than close the 001st District which is falling apart big time. The W/Cs Office is boarded up becuase the walls are crumbling and moved the W/C to CAPS Office they are bringing in FEMA trailors and closing the building until the work is completed sometime if 2012.
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS SAYS:
How about saving the Taxpayers a whole bunch more money by closing ALL Chicago Alderman's Offices and have them report to a Centralized Location. Some old City Building that isn't being used much. Why do they all need Offices, for a Part-Time-Job? Another waste of Taxpayers Dollars.
411 news flash the city of chicago new 2012 budget will be told to the public.tonight on channel 11 at 7oclock .on the chicago tonight show .now you can see what mayor shorty slick and his hired gansters are really up too
Close three districts and we lose 50 bid spots. What about the district and watch bids to 019,021 & 013 ? Do the senior guys get to bump the otheer guys ? Do they get to just ignore the contract ? Where is FOP ?
To the hero with 20 years in englewood, can we all have an autograph? Seriously, take a pill, get over yourself, and try to look at the big picture for a change.

What a crock of shit. ISP merged the two busiest districts in the state (Districts 3 & 4) back in 1995 in an effort to "consolidate" and create a “more agile bureaucratic structure”. What it did in reality was destroy two highly efficient districts and turn them into one giant clusterfuck. Prior to the merge, when the shit hit the fan, the shift commanders were able to know what was going on in the entire district, but when Dist Chicago was created there was no way that anyone could have a handle on everything. Unfortunately it is still a clusterfuck and always will be. Nowadays there is even less manpower than in 1995 but more calls for service. Don't ever believe that merging districts will make things more efficient.

You are a fine example of what is wrong with our department. We need to stand united together. We need to support each other instead of tearing each other down. I don't work in 019, I work in 025. My life isn't exactly a picnic, but I don't care what others do or don't do. I only care that we stand together and take care of each other. We are all that we have."
Oh in 025 you must be talking about the picnic bench you talk for hours and smoke 5 packs of cigarettes a tour on. I love it how the people watches from019 is being closed. Start bring your lunch To work or try finding a place to eat hhahahhahah

Changes aren't the problem, its the selective cuts . When are we cutting the amount of aldermen as promised. When are we going to make the whole dept. more efficient and not selectively. When is the fat going to be cut at Human square? OCD.
Put other "specialized " teams back in the beats.
Many officers in 019 worked their whole careers there. It's not just older officers who paid their dues . Stop crying try working
It should be obvious that the criminals will take over areas where the police are not present. Unless of course you either live in an exclusive neighborhood or if you are a pulic official. I guess that means the rest of us fend for ourselves? Mr. Mayor...this is not the answer!
I honestly feel badly for the pos in these districts that are getting shit canned. You get 20 years (which a lot of them have) plus on the job and get your spot on your watch secured, and then some asshole throws a wrench in it and you may have to rearrange your whole life. Not to mention the pos in the districts that will be absorbing all of these orphans, who will yet again move down in seniority after the whole msf business. The one thing you used to be able to count on was your seniority when it comes to bidding to a watch. Now everyone is taking a hit. It sucks. I've worked in a ghetto district my whole career, and I had looked forward to going to someplace a little quiter eventually. Now, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'll be sure to go out and make some arrests though....

Not that I disagree with your post, BUT...
You, and many others here posting on SCC, and in various squad cars across the City think that the Department or the City ACTUALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOU.
THEY DONT! NOT AT ALL!
YOU are just a "seat warmer", a number, a cog on the machine. YOU are replaceable, and hopefully if you have some time on the job, the City or the Department can shit-can you and save a boat load of money on your paycheck.
Sorry to disapoint you. And remember, if someone cared about you, you wouldent be pushing a beat car.
There will be three Areas.
North, Area Three, Dist's 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24 and 001. North will take over the entire building at Belmont and Western.
West, Area Four, Dist's 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15 and 25.
South, Area One, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
All Areas will have a Deputy Chief's Office and two lock ups.
Area Two and Five Dets will bid to North, South or West Areas.

YOUR paycheck is exactly the same as someone that works in 019 for the past 20 years! THEY aren’t subjecting themselves to being stabbed, shot or shat upon on a regular basis, and THEY need to “get a clue”? I admire your tenacity in working the ghetto, but come on… go somewhere nice for a change. Or is it the “change” that you fear? Filling out a PAR form is easy!
Working in the ghetto increased your risk of getting shot, stabbed spat and shit upon, it also increases your risk of getting seriously hurt, catching some disease like Hepatitis or something else, killed. It also increases your risk of getting CR’s for some bullshit, suspended for some bullshit, locked up for some bullshit, and sued for some bullshit. And that is what it is: BULLSHIT! Do you think that anyone actually fucking cares about Englewood? How many arrests have you made in Englewood over your 20 years? Now answer this important question: Has it changed anything? All the car chases, dope, guns, robberies, homicides, ALL THE TIMES YOU GOT HURT… not a fucking thing changed! They were animals before you got there, they are animals now, and after you retire they will still be animals. After 20 years in the ghetto, what do you have to prove to anyone?
Go to a place like 019 where the “Taxpayer” resides. At least there, no matter how grateful or ungrateful the populous is, you are at least making more of a difference that you ever will in Englewood! There, in a nice neighborhood, you can make a difference.
Did you say time due? Not 007... No Friday/Saturday/ or Sunday's off, unless you're cool with the commanding regime.
Now I dont agree with him writting other coppers if he is but he did his time fighting the savage in 015.

So working in 015 with the savage gives him carte blanche to write coppers? I don’t care what he’s done in 015, he’s a pimp for writing other coppers.

That Rahm and McCarthy are smart .
Closing 3 districts and merging areas will put more Police Officers back in a beat car , supervisors on the street and eliminate 7 command exempt staff.
Just think about it , districts will now have 90 agressive tactical officers assigned to beat cars . Maybe now we can get time due and have more 2 man cars.
Why do you think those aggressive tactical officers will do any aggressive policing after they are dumped back to a beat car????
Demote Exempts to save money and place Captains and LTs as the Commanding officers in small Units. If the Mayor is serious about saving money the police department is a great place to start. Erps, Labor Management, Ets, Special Functions especially. These are Units where a Captain or Lt could easily manage the unit. If we have less exempts we save money from our pension as well. Why do we need a Commander of units where there are only 5 people which exist. Silly. Special Functions has a Commander , Chief and even a deputy Chief overseeing its people when there are only 12 officers assigned there.

May have to resort to traffic stops of the 1960's!!
have you seen the carpet section on the floor at the entrance of the west side of the building @ 1718 s. state (001) ??? OMG... i fell over the carpet that has been torn and hurt my arm when i fell on it. how long before somebody really gets hurt? IOD !!!
More smoke and Mirrors. 019 is closing not the building. Belmont and Western is going to be Detective Division North with A/5 coming over.
Would not be surprised to see Homan Square used as the Central Detective Division and Belmont used to house the units currently occupying Homan Sq.
Also, I fully expect to see 001 and 009 to eventually cover all of 002 and 021.

Obviously the Vanecko Fleet Auto Repair and Maintenance Service.
Need an arm twisted or some heads bust? Go see a Vanecko, they do that too.

Nah, they'll award no bid contracts to Jiffy Lube & Midas Muffler to do all the maintainence work.
Why are taxpayers picking up the tab for fluorescent "Safety Volunteer" vests -- bearing the City of Chicago seal -- for moms stopping traffic around the Hispanic charter school/church by Grand/Austin? Five or six of these characters running around out there with fluorescent wands, barricades, etc. like they are some kind of officials. Christ, it's like Checkpoint Charlie or something. I'll go an extra mile to avoid it.
This place takes in over $10,000/week in the plate. Let them look in any industrial catalog and buy their own damned supplies.
Old Retired Guy Here;
My "knee jerk" reaction is to say, these changes are not good.
I am not defending the mayor. I did not vote for him.
All that being said; something radical has to been done, to get the City Budget On Tract.
If these changes will help do that, count me as one in favor of them.
So i just heard they're doing another super bid .... ala msf, tru. Same senerio. only districts open will be in the shity ghetto areas. Man, i feel for some of you guys. Finally after many years you get a decent spot and then back to the shit.
Good luck and make sure to get taser qualified!
heard special functions people are out of state on city time
019 District/Area 3, will all be knocked down and become the site of a New Walmart Supercenter!
They can put the "Area 3 garage" in an empty warehouse on the Westside and no one would care or notice!
The Courts can move to Grand/Central and Harrison/Kedzie. Belmont/Western has light caseloads most days and also the A.S.A.'s let most people get off with some bullshit slap on the wrist, anyway! I have seen many shitbirds laugh and giggle on the way out of courts there like it don't mean shit!
The average Walmart brings in over 10 million dollars a year in tax revenues to local coffers! Who says money talks!
Rahm sees dollars signs at Area 3 site and it being at prime location of Belmont and Western, two busy streets! This is a no brainer!
You heard it here first!
Jose Rumpeculo
I thought they just built a new building for the 19th. Took about poor planning. That is Chicago for us. **
There you go thinking again....
I love it, all the shit talkers about TRU,MSF officers getting dumped to shitty districts. Welcome to our world people....get your gas cards ready
Most of the officers with time will most likely go to the brand new 012 th district. The rest can join you in Englewood Sucka !!
Detective Division will work out of Area 2(South), Area 1(Central), Area 3(North). The areas called South and Central will each have 6-7 districts, and North will have 8-9 districts. Area 4 and Area 5 are gone baby!
At 10/11/11 at 6:01pm hey AssHat there are cops that are crybabies and do nothings in 019. There also cops arresting Robbers and Burglars in 019. Ask Rick Francis' family what he was doing when it went wrong. So go back to your west or southside district where if you open your back door they'll jump in and think before you speak.
SPENT THE LAST TWENTY YEARS IN ENGLEWOOD! BEEN STABBED TWICE, SHOT AT FIVE TIMES, SHIT & PUKED ON MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER, AND YOU THINK I GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THEM CLOSING 019? GET A CLUE BITCH!
10/12/2011 12:05:00 AM
