"Mole" Surfaces

Every so often, we get a comment that has a boatload of genuine info and accurate insight. Might this be one of those times?
  • 35th Street Mole---the REAL information>>

    OK so OT has been saying a lot of crazy stuff. But here it is the truth if you want it. yes the new Supt and his "guys" don't think very highly of CPD (exempts). I can't say that I blame them. If you remember when the new mayor was elected he had a friend of his and the Supt come into CPD to evaluate the Department and make suggestions to the Mayor and new Supt what should be done? Well he IS following it (the Supt). Understand something the Supt will NOT show his cards to anyone! He has learned his lessons from Newark's political game. The only way we at 35th St have any idea of what may be going on is by what the Supt requests as far as data and reports. No one knows what is going to happen until right before it does. So all this talk about what he is going to do is BS! The Supt has not allowed anyone to view the book that the guy wrote on what to do. One thing that I can see happening is eliminating two areas and making the city North, South and West. The reasoning is the Supt has requested all the data/manpower from all the areas. In addition to calls for service. The supt has requested exempt members personnel files as well. By looking at the new organization chart, one can see the changes of exempt positions. For example no more Commander of the DOC.

    Other data requested was how many P.O.'s are working in the front office in addition to desk at every station. As requested were the watch sheets. A request was made for views from city hall to create positions of sec's for commanders. Meaning no more P.O.'s in the front office. They did a quick study and found by hiring civilian or ret CPD on a contract level, they can save by paying no medical or pension and get the same results. Also same as desk crews (only one CPD sworn to handle desk, and watch sect duties (along with the Sgt). By eliminating these positions that include all exempts sworn Lt's Sgt's and P.O. office assistance will put the City over its 1,000 pledge. That is what is coming next. There will be very few inside office P.O.'s Sgt's or L'ts anymore.

    The Supt has also been requesting what the duties or the Capt, Lt and Sgt's are according to the CPD. There duties I think will be changing. It seems to me that CPD will be more like NYPD but with less levels of rank. The new Supt hates the repeated levels of rank and red tape of police departments. The Supt knows he cannot eliminate or demote Capt, Lt's Sgt's or Det's but can change there duties big time. There has been several models that the Supt has been looking at. I don't think he will be making those choices until he knows exactly what he is getting. Meaning again he is not happy with the level or quality of supervisors in this department. That I can tell you is fact cause I have heard that from his mouth!

    The other stuff is only thoughts on what he has requested and have been told/asked to look into. We are going to all have to weather out the storm just like Jody Weis until this guy proves to us. He may in the long run be able to change the way out CPD is run for the better with attempting to place qualified people in charge. But we all know how that goes in chicago. STAY SAFE
Rumors are heating up that November is going to be full of changes. More than a few exempts have put in papers or are planning to shortly. Word of re-apportioning the watches, removing Commander discretion from the mix, reorganizing the Bureaus, etc. A lot of it is the regular static with a new administration, but the sheer volume of it all leads us to believe something is up. This commentator might have a closer look that many of us do.

He will never be able to remove the house cats or front office people That is even if he gets an accurate account of how many there are. The commanders will do what they do now, lie to him and just put the front office people on made up beat cars, special cars, walking posts, etc On paper and the A & A sheets they will appear to be working the street

I watched the entire channel 11 replay of the interview with the superintendent. He sounded sincere and believable. Time will tell. After so many years of cynicism, corruption and mayoral lies, it is hard to tell if anyone is telling the truth. I say give the man a chance. It is way too early. Way too many people on this blog bash Jody and now McNulty, but speak fondly of Uncle terry, Klein, Matt and the rest who have a proven track record of selling everyone out. McNulty has not done that as of yet.

10/05/2011 03:10:00 PM

The man's name is McCarthy. NOT McNulty.

And if you watched the interview so closely, you heard him attempt to stroke Carol Marin, who looked a bit shocked at the come-on, but recovered her professional demeanor and then RE-asked the question he had tried to deflect with his suave and manly ways.

Oh, yeah; he's as straightforward as they come.

I can certainly sympathize with the Supt.'s alleged
low opinion of front line supervision here in the
CPD. It is indeed atrocious! As a sgt., it's just
appalling what other sgts. allow to occur right
under their very noses, all the while pretending
they don't see a thing. Officers show up for
roll call actually dirty, unwashed, unshaven,
and their assigned sgt. never sees it; neither
does the WC. If I say anything (and I do) then
of course I'm the 'bad guy.' Officers who routinely
fail to arrive on the scene of in progress calls
unless it's their job? Nothing said or done.
Officers with consistent low or nonexistent
activity? Nothing said or done. Can't raise
a car on the air? Nothing said or done. Routine
arrests that take up half the tour of duty?

who wear chevrons out on these streets really

35th st. Mole

Don't hold me to this but I think the Command changes will be announced either on Friday or the Friday right after the 12th OCT City Council meeting where the Mayor is to announce his 2012 budget. I cannot see the Supt being allowed to make any announcement of changes related to the budget till after the Mayor does so.

I do know that if the budget is approved changes to the duties of Capt, Lt, Sgt and Det's will come very quickly after. The new Supt likes to run things with fear, let's see after the 12th how much real bite he has. STAY SAFE

How are they looking for people assigned to the front office? In my district , in addition to the 2 secretaries, there's 3 more that hang out up there but are carried in some made up role on the A&A's. That's where the cuts could and should be made.
Manning a district desk with 1P.O., 1Sgt. and no watch secretary is absolutely ridiculous, dangerous and impossible. Does McNutty know there are bidded spots per the contract?? Better question does he or Rahm actually give a fuck?
Obviously Rahm and McNutty are hellbent on running this department completely into the ground.

I call bullshit. TOTAL bullshit. Anyone close enough to the Supt to be privy to his game plan AINT gonna reveal it...it wouldn't be too hard to figure out who the "Mole" is. Also, spots like the desk and relief are bid and part of our contract, so aint shit gonna happen on this front. Im a bid desk guy and I PRAY McInfidelity is dumb enough to send me out in a beat car. Ill push that car til retirement for time-and-a-half, thank you very much! The "Mole" is little more than a recurring agitator. And in the grand scheme of things any changes that actually do come about wont effect 99% of us, so let's ignore all these predictions for now and concentrate on whats REALLY important...pension issues and the next contract.

I will agree with your points. However I did notice your first complaint was appearance. With all the things wrong with the department that was the first thing that came to your mind? I never get why so many people are worried if someone else is clean shaven. If a PO does all the other stuff right I think you can overlook a 5 O'clock shadow.

While I may not agree with all of the changes or proposed changes, we have been stuck with an attitude of "we have always done it this way" that we resist change. Keep an open mind and judge the change after you see if it works. Don't prejudge. This department has been big and bulky and slow to respond to a changing society that it is about time that we had a fresh outside look at our department.

To begin with: Most Units do not need Lts and can be run by Sgts. Sgts can also run District Watches at less pay than Lts make.
Dicks should be reassigned from Areas to individual Districts.
Also it is a good idea to hire retired POs to work the desks, front offices, and most of all OEMC since they can relate to calls and speak understandable English.

6: 55 am, i understand your a company man and you might be part of the reason for your officers apathy. Your post pretty much throws coppers under the bus. If you work the street you well know AIRA, most of the time doesnt work in the cars and sometimes it goes down for hours on end, in the districts. There goes the over, half the tour arrest. Officers have discretion, the days of sandbagging, to fit your quotas, are frowned upon, by officers who refused to be used as scapegoats, by you or anyone else, who will throw the coppers under the bus, when a citizen beefs, on some bs. Im sure you would be the first to initiate the cr#, because your doing it for duty and humanity. If the po's are sloppy tell him or her so, but the last 22 years of the different command structures, the beating and berating by the media, revruns and intellectually challenged politicians, the po's have become, a little like abused children and their appearance is a reflection of that. Im not trying to make excuses, their are a few officers, in every district, that can use a shave, haircut, or even a bath, on a given day, but its been my experience that they correct themselves. all the po's ive seen always look professional. The comraderie of riding with other units, on any calls, has been waning, but that comes with the us against them mentality, this department has helped foster, with the promotions of meritorious hacks and the "special people" . Dont know how long you've been a sargeant, you might really care for the throops, but if your post is any indication of how you feel po's are, your part of the problem. Good supervisors are hard to come, most po's would do anything for a good boss. A good boss would have never placed that whiny post. G-d bless the CPD and CFD.

As long as you lock the front door and the back door too, you can run a desk with one Sgt. and 1 PO. That's about enough people to answer the 5 incoming phone lines & nothing else.

Just try and get 20 MF'ers to court with only one person handling it.


Or maybe they'll cut the number of incoming phone lines to 2.

No doubt he will make some changes to put his own stamp on things.

No one with half a brain telegraphs what he is doing in this kind of situation until he is ready to do it.

In the end, it won't change as much as people might think. There are limits to what can be done, versus what one might want to do.

I would expect a reshuffling of the top couple of layers of big shots, and maybe elimination of a layer or two of them, but nothing that amounts to anything.

What is he going to do? There just are not that many candidates available to pick from that would be acceptable to the thieves that run the city and could also actually manage to improve things any.

You really believe Rahm is going to give up having his thumb on top of every city department? Not going to happen. He is a control freak of the same order as daley was and he is not going to accept anything less then total blind obedience.

It is not like you can take a bunch of Sgts and Lts used to supervising a few or a few dozen people, and turn them into executives with multimillion dollar budgets and hundreds or thousands of employees overnight.

How can he have an opinion on the supervisors when he hasn't had any contact with the majority of them. As much as I hate Jody within a month of his appointment I had seen him in our station for roll call and speaking with the W/C for a period of time. Also saw him out on the street with his driver. haven't seen this guy out there at all. As far as his evaluating the lt and capt. he didn't even consider the ones without the clouted reference for the position of commander so most likely the best ones out there have not even crossed his radar. Only when he gets out into the districts and speaks with the non meritorious will he see the talent that exists on our department. Howvever the clouted will never allow that to ocurr because it will show them up for the incompetent boobs that they really are.

On Tribune website Rahm claims he's putting 138 "lockup" officers back on the street. Really? How the Hell is that gonna work?
There's a bidded lockup spot,under the contract, for each watch in each district. Maybe Rahm doesn't give a fuck about such trivial things as contracts. Afterall it's Rahms way or the highway.
Rahm also said we need officers being beat cops not beaurocrats. Seriously?? He's saying "lockup" officers are beaurocrats? He's completely out of touch with district operations. The same goes for McNutty. He's referred to desk officers as administrative officers. Hello Mr. McNutty, desk officers do all sorts of
various police stuff at the desk and little, if any, administrative stuff.
Your administrative, beaurocratic officers are the ones in CAPS and the plethora of officers camped out in the Administrative office in each district. Those positions, besides being made up, aren't covered under the contract either.

"Routine arrests that take up half the tour of duty? Nothing said or done."

TRU dat. 5 hours for an arrest in mah district is standard practice because...no PDT, finding a working AND available computer in the station is nearly impossible ("no tic-tac office computer 4 u cuz u no know secret circle jerk handshake"), the desk and processing room printers are broken, no property inventory bags (the ones we had until recently were hand crafted by the shriners), the desk sgt. and w/c are in the middle of the mid evening coffee clutch so the arrest report can't be approved, the ever-friendly hip-hop civilian lockup aide is working AND the cta plane clothes boyz are doing a turnstyle jumping sting with six juvy arrestees in line to be printed.

Once all that shit is waded through and the female prisoner has been printed and photographed, it's time to wait with her in the processing room for a minimum of two hours until she clears.

These dayz if the arrest takes less than half a tour that's an accomplishment. Solution? Bring back paper arrests, paper reports, paper inventories.

McSqurrel can do all the top secret planning he wants but as long as no one considers the implications on the lowly patrol dope, it ain't gonna change a thing.

But we're supposed to sit back while McSquirrel attempts to create NYPD West AND give him the benefit of the doubt while front line CPD manpower continues to shrink faster than a soon to be exwife's libido?

Fine. I'll be waiting in the processing room. Have McSquirrel throw a Jersey toll token at my head when the new stone tablets have been brought down from the 5th Floor.

I get the appearance thing completely. When Patton took over the US II Corps after it got its ass handed to it in February of 1943 one of the first things he did is issue an order that soldiers would be in proper uniform, including the neck tie. When asked how wearing a neck tie would help them fight Germans he pointed out that it would remind the wearer that he was a soldier. Looking at some of my fellow officers, it wouldn't hurt if they were reminded they were the police, then they might actually work.

The press conference today in 008 , nice horse n pony show. I resent the commander calling the outside units "transient", a choice of wording meant as an insult and a disconnect. Those units had more Intel briefings and knew more of what was going on in the districts than many bosses., and knowing who to target and arrest, and gang intel. With all the defending this leadership seems to be doing, sounds like a lot of second guessing the decision of eliminating the call out units.
Maybe you can explain why all these officers were targeted and sent to only south side districts, while desk dogs were awarded with assignments to northside districts.
Save your rhetoric and explain that to us.
And quit throwing out crime is down numbers, again trying to justify the decision. Crime is down because these officers are still working, has nothing to do with limiting them to one beat.

You'll note in that FBI table that the Chicago numbers are tagged with a footnote number 3

3 The data collection methodology for the offense of forcible rape used by Chicago, Illinois, does not comply with national Uniform Crime Reporting Program guidelines. Consequently, its figures for forcible rape and violent crime (of which forcible rape is a part) are not published in this table.

What are the numbers for forcible rape as defined by the FBI's guidelines in Chicago and have they been rising or falling?

ACTIVITY???? Realy Sarge? Who in thier right mind would produce ANY extra activity on this job with this CRAP going on!!!!!! You need to get your head out of your butt and take care of your men. Why give any extra to this administration.....just make shure you and your men go home safe at the end of your shift!!!!! ....activity.....sheesh!!!!!!

Really, not much activity is generated period, the check off sheets look an extra long carton of eggs. You say " take care of your guys", for what, showing up, you make over seventy grand a year to show up and do your jobs and most of you do it marginal at best; a mannequin in a uniforms performs better than most. You want your Sgt not to address when your late, dogging jobs, speaking to the public like there all shit, wearing your uniform like a slob and on top of that take care of your CRs with two on the end; come check off, "zeros". Please can someone show me in the orders where it is written that all you have to do is answer the radio . Your right what's going on around us is huge, the fucking that Ralm is bringing will be biblical, but seeing as how the vast majority on this job are on blue shirt well fare it would not bother me one bit. Quit lying to your selves; you aren't that special. This comment is not directed at all of you, some of you work your ass off but, the vast majority would not be noticed if it were not for your constant complaining. The going home safe goes with out saying so you not a total hemorrhoid.

Tripping over each other for Rush Hour and Street Cleaning does not equate to "generating revenue."

You go after the strokes on their cell phones or blowing stop signs or failing to yield at a crosswalk...then you will be generating revenue and actually doing a Public Safety job.

On a side note, a cop from Detroit was just indicted for murder for killing a 7 year old during a search warrant. I don't have any more info, but the one thing I gleaned from the news is that the Grand Jury had....ready for it...One person on it...and you thought Crook County was bad...

I really don't knoww how my partner and I can do less. Yahtzee and Scrabble can only take you so far...

To the moronic poster who said you can get by with one officer by locking front and back doors and then simply answer 5 calls that come in: You sir are an asshat. You've obviously never worked the desk in a reasonably busy district. Where I work we'll get 5 calls within 5 minutes.
Who's going to do the radios? Who's going to bond out prisoners and get prisoners ready and off to court?
What about the steady stream of walk ins? Who's going to control the salleyport?
Multitasking only goes so far before problems and mistakes start to surface. I don't care what Rahm and McNutty say it's IMPOSSIBLE to run a desk with 1 P.O. and a Sgt. Besides being impossible I'd say it's not particularly safe either with all the homeless and misfits that are allowed to camp out in the station.

Ummm...if they are bid officers, they have the right, per contract, to file a grievance. Document everything officers, and enjoy your time and a half if assigned to the street.

If the officers in question do not file, then they only have themselves to blame.

In defense of 6:55 am

from PATTON: "...they don't look like soldiers, they don't act like soldiers, why should they be expected them to fight like soldiers?"

Same thing here. If they don't look like police, act like the police, how in the hell do we expect them to be the police?

Simple grooming and uniform standards have gone out the window. We're supposed to be a quasi military organization, but I see little that shows it.

When bosses start acting like bosses, leading by example and expecting the same maybe things can start to get better.

To my fellow sergeant, you are absolutely correct. 50 percent of you could vanish tomorrow and no one would notice. You whine and bitch on this blog about this that and another, Hey, didn't they tell you the job was dangerous? Didn't they tell you we walk a tight rope between doing the right thing and getting screwed. Sure they did but you were probably texting some female and didn't hear the warnings. I'm so sick and tired of you whinny bitches already. Do the fucking job or quit already....And yea, I've been sued multiple times, just answered another CR number and I'm sure there will be more because unlike many of you whinny babies I've chosen to stay where it's busy (25 plus on)cause I am the police.

The Cmdr of 007 is a GOOF because he has stopped attending the Compstat meetings? The ones where
McNutty bashes the cmdrs (especially the South Side
cmdrs) of all that crime in their districts that they are
under pressure to quell with a complete lack of
resources to do so? And you think Carothers is a
GOOF not to attend these weekly bashes?
I'd have to say kudos to Carothers for not attending.
I think he's one of the smarter ones out there.

to do it, or leave me the fuck alone!"

Here's an idea, maybe they could be on the streets. Does anyone else remember when Det's used to ride on in-progress calls, when they made arrest or assisted you with your paper? Yes kid that used to go on. Now it's all about putting out an I/A and letting tact or gangs pick the guy up. In the meantime there is cleaning to be picked up, kid's game to see, and yes reports to type. Sure there are still some Det's that work their butts off but many don't do jack. We have become such a collection of lazy, entitled, cry babies. And as far as work load goes you Northside guys are just going to have to get used to the idea of more then one call a week. Northside Det's are going to have to share the load with their Southside and Westside counterparts. You've been making the same money for doing a lot less for way to long (not to mention those awards for bullshit). I work a lot of special(well when there was special) and the difference between a working Southside copper and a Northside guy is like night and day. Welcome to the real CPD boys and girls.

I get the appearance thing completely. When Patton took over the US II Corps after it got its ass handed to it in February of 1943 one of the first things he did is issue an order that soldiers would be in proper uniform, including the neck tie. When asked how wearing a neck tie would help them fight Germans he pointed out that it would remind the wearer that he was a soldier. Looking at some of my fellow officers, it wouldn't hurt if they were reminded they were the police, then they might actually work.

10/06/2011 04:07:00 PM

Funny but work never gets us anywhere. I work my ass off and yet see others who are friends of the boss get the cars and preferred starting times. I get nothing but bounced around. Have been for years. And yes I have 17 years on so I'm not a hair gel. Watch Commanders don't care about your activity and if you're doing a good job, they only care if you don't have any then they fuck with you. Moral of the story is hard work will get you nowhere. You'll still be bounced around so it doesn't matter. You are not one of the chosen few to be provided a stable start time.

I have to agree with the angry sergeant. About 80% of the police, all ranks, do nothing and expect everything. They are criminally lazy and the epidemic of whining is out of control. They think because they made it out of the academy, they are entitled to come in late, leave early, do nothing all day, abuse the medical, and then whine if they don't get a car or starting time.
The other 20%, however, are courageous, brave heroes that could never be paid enough to compensate them for their worth. They work no matter who their bosses are and never forget that law enforcement is a noble calling.
