Changes Today?
Might be. Might not be either, but might be a preview of things coming up shortly:
- Here's one for ya, per a very high ranking, un-named source,the order for Executive officers and Station managers will be out Monday.
All Captains will now be XO's and are basically an assistant to the Cmdr.
The Station Manager will be a Lt. and will be in charge of the watch and station operations during his/her tour of duty. If no Lt. is available the position will be filled by a Sgt. The orders thus eliminate the position of Watch Commander and, thus, eliminate the opportunity for Lt's to be paid out of grade pay for conducting W.C. duties.
Bonding officers will take care of bonding prisoners and taking reports at the desk.
Desk Sgt's are being eliminated and all Sgt's will be assigned to the street.
No word about Det's or the consolidation of the areas, but it was stated that there probably wouldn't be any promotion classes anytime soon.
Hang on tight boys, it's about to get rough.
We can see the grievances already being filed over some of this. And disaster written on the face of more.

Budget strength for Lieutenants is going to go from 264 all the way DOWN to approx. 210-215 for year 2012. We are at approx. 203 now with the recent retirements. What the fuck. Four fucking years and you have only promoted 50 Lieutenants off of a multi-million dollar test? Can someone please get their heads out of their assess already and promote some Detectives, Sergeants and Lieutenants. Jesus Chris, at least give a definitive number of people you will promote from an exam. How will that harm the city and it can only boost morale. Give a test and say “ 200 Lt’s, 300 Sgts, 200 Det.’s” will be promoted from these lists. So you make a few dozen or half hundred more. We will still be happy but at least we will know we have a shot. What’s the use of scoring in the top 10% of a test and waiting for four to five years holding your breath not knowing if there is going to be a new test. Just promote already. We are short Dicks and Supv. across the board and this paper shuffle is going to increase span of control not decrease it. Supt. You worry about morale but your new shuffle of Detectives and reassignments of Lieutenants and Captains duties guarantee no promotions. How’s that for a big fat cup of morale boost.
Racoon Eyes taxing the fuck out of us and they are making all these changes to save money. Doesn't matter how much they save or how big the tax increases they will just piss it all away on worthless bullshit. The state, county, and city are almost bankrupt and all these corrupt fucking politicians know how to do is raise taxes and piss away more money. We are fucking doomed!
Fuck the NFL and College football. I didn't realize that college ball was turning into the junior felon league now too:
Illinois linebacker Trulon Henry, two others shot at house party in Urbana
Henry has spent the last several years redeeming himself following a five-year stint in prison for armed robbery, which he describes as a one-time mistake that stemmed from a desperate and ill-conceived plan to gain money to help his family save their house in Washington, D.C

The XO thing is legit, the rest doubtful..
what.a.fucking.joke.
As a Sergeant, I say sign me up for the acting station manager job. The grievance is a sure winner
i wonder how may years it will take this department to recover back to a smooth structured organization...they have destroyed every level--from beat cop up.
you cant make sweeping changes like this without consequences, fallout and unforseen F&%$ ups. goodluck!
So if they plan on using Sgts. don't you think they better start sending them for watch manager(coomander) and you better believe the Sgts. will get out of grade!
The officers in my district can barely answer the phone, how are they going to approve my arrest reports and bond prisoners out?
"We can see the grievances already being filed over some of this. And disaster written on the face of more."
When you finish writing your grievance line your canary cage or wipe your ass w/it because that's all it will be good for.
Promotions? LOL
XO on the bridge. Yes master chief, for my first order of business, we will do away with the box. *the entire deck crew yells "hip hip, hooray"
Toni PrickWrinkle said.....
“If you have a $2,000 bond, you pay your $200 and you’re out,” she says. “If you have a $2,000 bond and you’re impoverished and you don’t pay it, are you any more of a risk? No, you just don’t have $200. . . . Most of the people in jail are guilty of being poor.”
No Ms. PrickWrinkle, most people in jail have been ACCUSED of committing a FELONY. Most of those that committed misdemeanors are not being held on bond. Even more interesting is the fact that you want to impose a fine for possession of marijuana. If all the "black and brown" people cannot afford $200 for bond, how will they afford your fines?
She goes on to say....
“Eighty-three percent of the people who come in the jail, whether or not there for drug offenses, have illicit drugs in their system,” she says. “We are dealing with substantial substance-abuse issues by detaining people in the jail, and we’re only detaining of course black and brown people. Basically, you saw a story in your own paper how whites are most likely to use illegal drugs. If you look at bond court you’ll never know that. The people there are black and brown. The last time I was there I sat for 45 minutes and I think there was one white person. So the jail is the intersection of poverty and racism. It’s pretty stark.”
Well Ms. PrickWrinkle, you should be happy because the "white" drug abusers are saving Crook County money. You said yourself that housing prisoners costs $143 per day. Have you looked into how many "black and brown" people are receiving LINK cards, LIHEAP assistance, CHA assistance, and health care from ALL Kids? Guess we need to start a program to give financial assistance to offenders for bond.
This State, County, and City all suck. Maybe you should try cutting the bullshit programs that are set up all over. No more free breakfast, lunch, and dinner at public schools. No more free school supplies No more money for having 5 kids with 4 different baby daddies. Here's a program I would be very willing to pay for...offer anyone serving time in prison $8,000 to get sterilized/ have a vasectomy. Pay poor women money for NOT having children. Come up with ways to STOP the cycle and then I will care and be happy to pay for them.
So take away the desk sgt, really? Change the duties of the Capt and Lt's, ok.. There are way to many Orders to change to get this done before the first of the year.
This will be a failed experiment. It was bad when two lt's tried to run the same watch, how are u going to manage with 5-6 sgts? The XO's will get days off, furloughs etc...
Capts and Lts will be inside paper pushers, so lets take more supervision off the streets, come on McNUtty, this isnt New York where they have as many bosses as we have officers...Can you think for yourself? Obviously not!!!! How does it feel to be a bitch, at least it is a well paid one, I hope the ballerina supplies the K-Y
the chicago police department is fast becoming the chuckie cheese of the police community---
Remember a few years ago the civilian contractors in the station going over everything? Thses were the individuals with absolutely ZERO police knowledge who were hired to complete an audit of police operations and make recomendations to the city in ways to reduce manpower and consolidate operations. Well this is the end result and unfortunately I beleive that there will be tragic results from these recomendations. Thanks to the Star Chaser MLB for her recommendations.
excellent. let get rid of all the those positions at district desk you only need 2 officers to do that job all lock up officers also should be place on the street asap also the many secretaries assigned to the commanders they only need 1 so let get rid of those extra secretaries asap .
PSST.... That suporvisors quarterly and 30 min a day (wink wink)..... BU BYE.

Like the idea for the front office people but it will never happen. If it ever does, Chicago will experience a mini population boom because all those house mouses will get pregnant.
Seems to have already happened at a certain north side district. Last time I was up there I had to see the 3rd watch desk sgt and I thought I had walked into a maternity ward. They had two pregnant P.O.'s working the desk, and one was acting desk sgt.
Lord help them if some crazy walked in and started something.

They won't be on 2nd watch.
XO? Kiss and a hug? Wow... We have fallen...
So if they plan on using Sgts. don't you think they better start sending them for watch manager(coomander) and you better believe the Sgts. will get out of grade!
Sounds like Sgt's might actually HAVE to supervise and manage now. A lot of nervous Sgt's right now...better start reading General Orders, you gotta love it!
Who the fuck cares about any of this of this shit? I was pushing a beat car last month, I'm still pushing it this month, and I'm certain I'll be fixing a flat on it and calling for R-Service next month. This department is ruined and it's only going to get worse. There's nothing any of us can do about any of it so just show up, do your job, and collect your paycheck. I don't give a fuck what they do with the captains because I'm never going to be one anyway.
To 4:20 am, boy are you a bone head, obviously a 5 year know it all. Who do you think will be effected the most if these changes are made?
The beat car.
You will have to do everything yourself from here on out.
You just don't know how good you have it dumbass so keep your mouth shut.

Out of that entire story, this is the only shit you can pull out of it. At least the guy is in school making a better life for him and his family so its not like he's giving anyone a bad name. You're acting as if he's out shooting and killing people. You forgot to include the fact that the story also says that he was at home with his family and got a phone call to go help get some of the younger team players out of the party. They were the ones being stupid not this Henry guy. Find something else to bitch about because you have nothing on this one. There's no law that says felons can't go to college. I'd rather see him in COLLEGE & playing footbal vs. going down a bad route. Leave it alone. You're an idiot. I could care less about this shit. This is nothing.

You are a moron. Please don't write about something that you have no experience in. And, no I'm not a lock up officer, desk officer, or secretary; however, I did perform these duties on couple occasions. This idea of stripping down desk and lock up personnel will have a negative impact on beat officers.
who's going to get sued when an "officer" approves an arest report and that same officer never knew the definition pf probable cause?

You are crazy as hell and must not be from a busy district. The front desk can NOT function with only two officers. On 1st watch, one is needed to do reports, one for the radio room til at least 1am and if that person gets caught at the desk doing reports, the officers don't get their equipment. Then you need someone to bond people out. A minimum of three is needed to run the desk. It's been done before where lines are long as hell and people ended complaining because they had been waiting over an hour to get a report. So what can they do, leave or wait...most people ended up leaving.
The money we lose from lawsuits because of the problems this will cause will make these savings seem like nothing. Wait a minute: they are nothing.
These problems will surface years down the line. Rahm will be long gone, but he will still be saying that he saved millions while he was here. He's a criminal politician, all he cares about is what he can put in a sound bite.
Grievances? By who? Annoying overpaid under worked white shirts? Ha! If "about to get rough" is translation for "about to have to actually work and do your job" then yes, id say it's about to get rough for the white shirts! Remember folks, nearly EVERYONE wearing a white shirt makes over 100K a year! Now you know they are going to scream about "solidarity" and "brotherhood" now but where was this sentiment when they were burning your slip for an hour, playing get back on assignments or not sustaining bull shit CRs because it was the path of least resistance for the suckhole? Sure there are safety in numbers, sarge lieutenant or XO, but you are not going to find it in the ranks of the blue shirts. Nope. If this post hurts your feelings, tough. Some times the truth hurts. You and your "me too" clause have rode our backs long enough all the while not bringing anything to the negotiations. So if a bunch of jagoff white shirts feel the hurt a little here, im certainly not about to lose any sleep over it!
I am waiting for the headline: RAHM SAVES THE CITY TENS OF MILLIONS BY ENDING SANTUARY CITY STATUS.
Inviting criminals to the City by saying you are not enforcing laws cost more than Rahm will ever save eviscerating the Police Department.

Maybe Preckwinkle should read THE BELL CURVE. I'll summarize ... moronity, stupidity, low intelligence( whatever you want to call it), correlates with poverty and crime (along with absenteeism from work, proneness to injury, being unemployed, out-of-wedlock children and more). People aren't in jail because they are poor - they are poor because of what they are and they are criminals because of what they are. Moronity lands them in jail, not poverty, and not the color of their skin. Inequality exists. Thank God. The most 'equal' societies were Mao's China and Stalin's Russia. Men are unequal is the uncomfortable fact. Show some fucking leadership. Keep telling the 'blacks and the browns' that they are where they are because of racism. The only thing that is ‘stark’ are the results (minorities in jail), not the causes (racism, as you say). The implication is that the white man is racist and put handcuffs on the minority and let his white friend go with wink and a nod. The truth is many of these ‘blacks and browns’ were locked up by ‘black and brown’ officers. I have been on this job for a bit, and I have never made an arrest based on race. Not once. Never even thought about it.
Northwestern University tried this race-hustling crap too when they did their traffic study. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=4337844 Hear about that much anymore? No. That's because bias does not exist, princess, not in regard to traffic stops, and not in regards to arrests (traffic stops were conducted in about the same rate as the minorities’ percentage in the population). Are you saying the Desk Sgt is racist for not allowing an I-bond? Are you saying the bond court judge is racist? Who is racist, Terry?
Are the victim’s lying too, Terry? Are they racist? Most are minorities themselves. I assume case reports are public record. Search out Chicago’s 400-500 homicides we’ve been getting lately per year. Now look at the race of the offender. Now calculate the percentages/ratios or whatever makes you happy. Now try to substantiate your racism bullshit. Fuck you. You tarnish the entire police department and criminal justice system by calling us racists. And no one, not one media clown calls you on it. Look up the crime stats, Media, and do your fucking job.
What you are seeing is piss-poor performance by the minorities who got locked up, Terry. Don’t confuse that with racism. Unless you are that fucking stupid.
We in America are guaranteed equal opportunity, not equal result.
Will I still be assigned to PTS?
Uh oh, what about all the other house mouses on the desk? Back to the street?
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I've lived in this city my entire life.
The demographics have changed in that the "white" population is mainly city employees and upper middle class private sector employees.
The "brown" population has increased due to the safe haven status this city provides.
The "black" population in this city is mainly on welfare with only a very small percentage being working middle class.
The working middle class when I was young was mainly white, when this city had manufacturing.
The demographics are basically balanced at around 1/3 black,1/3 hispanic and a 1/3 white/non black.
(Its an approximation so don't get your panties in a bunch)
When the city was mainly white,poor and middle class, most of the people arrested were white. Now 2/3 of the population are non-white so I think that might explain it.
Seems like common sense to me (sarcasm)
I am soooooooo glad I finally retired and moved out of Shitcago, IL!!!
O.W. Wilson is spinning in his grave.
Promote sgts , cpd doesn't need lts
or captains . XO will replace a patrolman as district commanders secretary . Captains pay to do police officer work .
When I see it, I'll believe it...
For starters: All the GOOD Captains will be scooped up by the Districts. The Challenged, Clueless ones left over will go to Units. Good Luck Mass Transit, Airport Law, or the Traffic Unit with Henny Penny.
I'm sorry folks, The department went to shit when Phil Cline was the Supt. It was because of his blatant moves and in fighting w/ his 1st Deputy that things got really bad. Both Cline and Starks were summons to the 5th floor on numerous occasions to stop the infighting. The Fire Dept never aired their dirty laundry. If Cline and Starks had at least respected their position, Weis and Masters would not have arrive and taken over a dept that was way over their heads. So as much as you may disagree with this comment, think about the last five years. CPD bosses f&@ked it up and we have nobody else to blame.
ask rahms uncle , desk sgt does 99% of captains work , let the desk sgt run the watch
keep lts in the field
They can't promote from any of the tests because J-Fled knew when he was here ALL the test for promotion were fixed and if he did promote law suits were sure to follow. Let them quietly die as time goes by and don't promote from any of them, couple years and ALL will be meritious!
There are two captains in 019 and a whole bunch of do nothing's in the front office how much assistants does he fuckin need
Cant wait to see where they put CAPT D.D. shes gonna be pissed working on the south side...
017 Capt D.D. wont be able to function, she does not have a clue of police work or whats going on, especially when she forgets to take her medication!!!
Capt: Now a glorified Cmndrs secretary.
Lt: Doing the WC's job, the desk Sgt.s job and handling numerous beefs from the lockup with no out of grade pay.
Sgt. Doing the WCs job with no out of grade.
Can you say, "Disgruntled supervisory staff with extremely low morale in charge of extremely low morale officers"?
Now, go out and motivate the troops.
"...it can only boost morale."
Morale has never been high on the priority list here. Particularly now.
The thought of a happy, productive employee escapes these people.
They'd rather hold things over your head & rule with fear.
Why not simply close district desks and lockups? You dial 311 for a report. For accident or cr go to the area desk. For bond or anything prisoner related you go to area as well....

OK Ass Wipe, you can be one of those desk officers. Bust your ass without a relief in sight, no lunch, no personals.
You Sir, are an uneducated moron...
Let me get this straight. They expect these " bonding officers" to do both the desk officers job and the desk Sgt.'s job and not give them out of grade pay? Hey Rahm and McNutty a big hearty Fuck You. You get what you pay for.
Why do we even need a bonding officer then? How about just approving our own arrests for the preliminary approval then? Why do we need another blue shirt who works inside to approve an arrest or bond somone out? Makes no sense.
Rahm says: " Such a deal I've got for you" !!!!!
"Change", that made obongo a household word.
Eliminate Captain-Watch Commander, Desk Sgt, and dont hire or promote flunky patrolmen. HA!
So what happens when the next "police scandal" is exposed or the 'community' is in peril?They'll promote a diverse group to fill the void?
All that exam money the city paid to Ernst & Young, went right back into Shortshanks pockets, not only that but the surveys and studies too. Not to get on the test prep classes held by Roberts, how much did he know (and made) by those huge study groups.
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT.
Will FOP ever post test scores and rankings?
If the Superintendant was serious about the credibility, integrity and fate of this Department, he certainly would speak to US on this matter.
No Alphonso dunkin donuts for me.
Very similar to our organizational structure here at the NYPD. Maybe if you guys try hard enough the CPD can become as disfunctional as the NYPD.
Captins should be fighting this, it spells the end of their rank
11/14/2011 12:13:00 AM
What do they care? Suck hole politicians, never the police
She goes on to say....
“Eighty-three percent of the people who come in the jail, whether or not there for drug offenses, have illicit drugs in their system,” she says.
Where does she get these numbers? How can she proof that?
OK... I'm not sure I get it all. They close 019, but districts are sending their prisoners there... Who will be there to supervise, make out bonds, do the paperwork, make arrangements for attorneys and the like to consult with clients/family? Will both doors be accessible only by key code? We certainly don't want people walking into a station without adequate police presence, even if detectives are on the 2nd floor. This just goes to show you that none of this was thought out or even planned short-term or long-term. It is disgusting to know that this is like throwing good money after bad. I'm sure most of us will have to keep all our gear in our cars because of lack of secure locker space and getting moved from district to district....
It has been mentioned that the goal of the city is to get rid of those old-timers who make the most money. Why should anyone stay if they have the age/time any way? Are things going to get better? I would think that if you stay beyond the age/time, benefits may decrease and not return to their present levels.
WIthout new blood coming into the department, I would think morale will never be uplifted. Even if you downsize the department, you have taken away most officer's hope by never having openings and never promoting or training.
It would be a big step in the right direction if there was a vision that we could buy into instead of kicking around the "doing more with less" mantra. If you have unhappy bosses, you will have unhappy workers --- remember you reap what you sow.
Thank you for letting me ramble.
Following Ms Preckwinkle's theory... if someone abuses illegal drugs and commits a crime, they should not have to be held accountable? That would encourage those who choose to take advantage of someone to be under the influence of a controlled substance, instead of being accountable for their actions no matter what their race or financial status. I don't see that working very well.
That affects the working Blue shirts how? Keep rearranging the chairs on the titanic rahmbo!
So Toni Preckwinkle wants to do away with bonds for offender's that are charged with a felony? She also talks about how the majority of people in jail for drugs are black. Did she ever think why that is the case? Now, I will tell you that whites are just as likely to use drugs as blacks are. But the whites are smarter about it. Let me explain. Every single time, I busted some black guy with drugs it's because he was doing some stupid shit. For example: 1. Go right through a stop sign. 2. Speed past me on the street. 3. Piss on the public way. 4. Beat on his girlfriend out in the public.
These ghetto idiots do stupid shit and then get stopped and then get busted. Just last night, I stopped an idiot for going through a stop sign. His license was revoked. What a fucking idiot.
how about the 704 tool Adam the so called intelligence officer who sits at his desk all day with zerox copies of bullshit diplomas posted with gold star stickers? maybe he can stand on a post in the tubes?

11/14/2011 04:20:00 AM
Yep, just toss your fellow cop under the bus. Give him / her that little push off of the curb.
Way to go, officer, we really need more cops like you!
The rearranging of the deck Chairs on the Titanic has gotten quite redundant.
Those civilian contractors that you speak of are not exactly without management experience. They studied police operations in many cities and had a grasp of what was workable and what was a waste of manpower. Then they made recommendations. They did not need experience in beat cars for that job. And, if you take many of our current and past gold stars, look at the poor decisions so many of them made. Look at the design of the new police stations . These stations were primarily the project of one dep supt who did not know his ass from a hole in the ground ( or did not care) about officer safety and security and the functions of a station.The department is way top heavy and sergeants and lieutenants have been underutilized and not accorded respect for their positions for many years. Captains? Way too many of them. Change is a bitch.
You better leave MLB alone, or else the one and only McCarthy will get cha ha ha
das his lady my man!

There. You can breathe now.
one more event number plese.
It appears our captain/eo rank doesn't like to work nights like the rest of us . They will replace district secretary and more blue shirts on the street .
It must be nice to have clout .
Will eo/captain have week ends off? Nothing but the best for our merit bosses.
My balls have been elevated, is that a promotion?
once again the white shirts give in first!
AND OF COURSE LT'S SHOULD HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF VOTE ON THE PENSION BOARD TOO!!!
COMPARED TO 10K OFFICERS???
WHEN DO THE BID S OPEN OFF FOR THIS NEW DESK SPOT ACTING AS A SGT?
At the end of the day police will do most of the hard work. I personally don't give a flying fuck what happens to Lt. , Captains and definitely most of the Sgt's. For how many years have bosses been riding the gravy train, getting untold number of hours on the books without any justification, coming in late and leaving early. Now I can care less with regards to their perks but when they cast judgement on blue shirts for minor bullshit while everyone knows how dirty they, that's the part that bugs me.
THE DESK IS A SIT DOWN SPOT!
WHY DO U THINK PEOPLE WORK IT.
IF IT WASNT NOBODY WOULD VOLUNTEER.
THE RADIO ROOM IS NOT AN ALL SHIFT SPOT SOOOO PLEASE.
AND REPORTS CMON IVE READ THE TWO LINERS YEA THAT TAKES ALL WATCH TOO WINK WINK!
LET ME GUESS TIME KEEPING TAKE 9 HOUR TO DO A WATCH TOO.
SOMETIMES WE ARE NOT THE BRIGHTEST.
EVERYONE REPLACEABLE AND DUST OFF THAT VEST ITS DANGEROUS OUT ON THE STREETS!
Boy I sure do feel really bad for you clouted up pricks who got the invite to the Secret Study Groups, and now they are not promoting. Boo hoo
by the way.... you heard it here first..
Just got BacK FrOm mY TOur IN thE DreADed BoX
my desk sgt will not be happy.....
The implication is that the white man is racist and put handcuffs on the minority and let his white friend go with wink and a nod.
Is this what she wants brown and black officers to do??

You are partially right. The main reason is white people don't have open air drug markets on every steet corner in their neighborhoods being run 24 hours a day. The arrests are there for the taking when you have open operations like that.
I am a blue shirt with 18 yrs. I personally don't give a fuck what happens to the white shirts. All you idiots should only worry about two things your pension and health care, as long as you get both the rest is nonsense. I've worked in busy districts and slow I worked beat cars, tact, saturation teams it's all the same shit. I don't care how many times they restructure just keep paying me and give me a pension. I will continue to do my job for the real victims. The good thing about being a blue shirt on a beat car is the only thing they can do to me is change my start time big deal. Start worrying about the real stuff.
excellent. let get rid of all the those positions at district desk you only need 2 officers to do that job all lock up officers also should be place on the street asap also the many secretaries assigned to the commanders they only need 1 so let get rid of those extra secretaries asap .
Like the idea for the front office people but it will never happen. If it ever does, Chicago will experience a mini population boom because all those house mouses will get pregnant.
Seems to have already happened at a certain north side district. Last time I was up there I had to see the 3rd watch desk sgt and I thought I had walked into a maternity ward. They had two pregnant P.O.'s working the desk, and one was acting desk sgt.
Lord help them if some crazy walked in and started something.
In my district there are 5 full duty officers "assisting" the Commander in the Admin office. 2 are the Commander's secretaries and the other 3 keep switching titles and places that they hide them on the A&A's. Come on Dave with all your paranoia how can you allow this bullshit to continue?
With the city forcing out bidded lockup keepers you're gonna allow these 5 year wonders to remain tucked away doing virtually nothing??

No, XO will have to work a watch opposite the DC

The Sergeants will not want to do the work of and take the responsibility of a Captain without the pay upgrade.
The XO will be the new Fill-in Watch Commander. No more bringing a Lieutenant from another District to work as W.C. at premium pay.
The XO Captain will be working around the clock every time a Lieutenant wants to take Time-Due or a Personal Day.
This is another morale and pay killer. It should fail and we should be sure that it does fail.
Register and Vote. We get to replace Rahm.

You are crazy as hell and must not be from a busy district. The front desk can NOT function with only two officers. On 1st watch, one is needed to do reports, one for the radio room til at least 1am and if that person gets caught at the desk doing reports, the officers don't get their equipment. Then you need someone to bond people out. A minimum of three is needed to run the desk. It's been done before where lines are long as hell and people ended complaining because they had been waiting over an hour to get a report. So what can they do, leave or wait...most people ended up leaving.
I absolutely agree with the above post. If you've never worked the desk on 2nd or 3rd watch then you have no idea what you speak of. Absolute minimum staffing for the desk is 3 officers. It simply won't work with 2. Not only would it be unsafe with 2 but the stress level for those overworked 2 would be through the roof.
You need an officer to handle the radio room and that occupies a good 3 hours or more of their shift. You also need officers to answer the phone, handle walk ins and write reports. You also need an officer versed in the bonding etc. procedures to help out the desk Sgt. If you think 2 officers can safely and reliably do all of the above then you must have overdosed on Rahm and McNutty's kool aid.
These thieving pricks absolutely refuse to acknowledge that we are already stretched too thin. Like a rubberband that gets stretched too thin it eventually snaps and breaks.
Henry has spent the last several years redeeming himself following a five-year stint in prison for armed robbery, which he describes as a one-time mistake that stemmed from a desperate and ill-conceived plan to gain money to help his family save their house in Washington, D.C
------------
Is that what we call a jail sentence now? Redeeming yourself?
WTF?
Al Wysinger isn't that bad, sure he is a multi-merit nominated boss who isn't that bright but he really is a good guy and he generally likes the low level patrolmen and sergeants.
THe superintendent on the other hand, has a real disdain for CPD patrolmen, sergeants and especially detectives. He can't understand why everyone doesn't fall to their knees and start taking every word he and his NY buddies say about policing as gospel.
McFluff is here to enforce Rahm's agenda of cutting costs at the expense of the working copper and it is one of his top priorities. YOu can bet he will be silent on the issue of our pensions. Rahm and his friends down in the General Assembly have got it in for our pensions and McNutty is gonna standby while it is yanked away from us all. He has no allegiances to anyone in this department and he is looking to screw everyone and anyone in this organization to take the credit and make himself look good.
He has no interest in talking with the union or the rank and file prior to forcing his "changes" down everyone's throat. He has also shown how much he loves the spotlight and happily takes credit for the drop in crime while failing to even mention the hard work the rest of us on the street have been doing. You better believe McNutty will stop at nothing to ram through Rahm's plan of greatly and dangerously downsizing the CPD and taking away all the benefits and retirement we have earned.
Wake up people, this guy is not your friend. Don't be COMPSTATED because when he is done we are gonna be in a much worse place than we ever were with JPUD.

Who's the retired cop trying to serve an officer legal papers at O'Hare. Did he have to do this at his work place. He must really need the chump change processing fee. More to come. Other cops pissed about it.
OT
company already hired and out there looking at school crossings to find the prime money making spots, counting cars and monitoring speeds. Oops I mean they're looking at locations to determine where the safety of the children would benefit.
Strange they're not counting kids or asking school safety unit for crossing evaluations already done. You would think they would look at priority 1 rated crossings.

This is "The Man's" way of reducing crime. No report = no crime
They tried putting one officer on the desk before and all the watch commander would do is put up a phanthom car and hold them down working the desk. If this is what the city wants fine. Let the phones ring off the walls and people line up at the desk and into the street to make a report. Take your time to fill out the report correctly and let them know this is your mayor and the police chiefs way of getting more bang for their buck.
If the captains, lieutenants and sergeants go along without filing a grievance, shame on them. FOP will have to file a grievance for the bonding officer doing the desk sergeants job without the pay. This city is trying to skirt the union contract. We can not let them do it.
Looks like the favorites are getting a little scared about going back to the street. If the desk is such a diffucult and stressful position then why are there so many Police Officer's crying to be assigned to it. And why is it that all of the bosses favorites get to work it. Come on, it so obvious that those who advocate for more Officer's to work the desk are afraid to be on the streets. I have just one thing to say to those desk Officer's who are being dumped "GET OUT THERE AND WRITE SOME MOVERS!!"

Come on Leo we know you read the blog and can't stand it!!! Cut GEU down or put them back in the Districts.
This shameful Department promoted every politically connected person to merit Captain while those without clout, but with knowledge and experience were just completely eliminated from consideration. Now most of these clout promotees have retired with their big pensions.They now want to eliminate the position of Watch Commander and the extra money but they expect the lieutenants to continue with the same amount of responsibility and accountability for free. The Lieutenant's Association shouldn't stand for this. What a joke!

The Dist Doing Desk Duties ANYWAY !!! Lol
They revised the duties of watch commander ,Lt, and desk sergeant in the department orders. This is how they are going to get around paying out of grade just watch you will see
35th street mole.......told ya so!
Grievances? By who? Annoying overpaid under worked white shirts? Ha! If "about to get rough" is translation for "about to have to actually work and do your job" then yes, id say it's about to get rough for the white shirts! Remember folks, nearly EVERYONE wearing a white shirt makes over 100K a year! Now you know they are going to scream about "solidarity" and "brotherhood" now but where was this sentiment when they were burning your slip for an hour, playing get back on assignments or not sustaining bull shit CRs because it was the path of least resistance for the suckhole? Sure there are safety in numbers, sarge lieutenant or XO, but you are not going to find it in the ranks of the blue shirts. Nope. If this post hurts your feelings, tough. Some times the truth hurts. You and your "me too" clause have rode our backs long enough all the while not bringing anything to the negotiations. So if a bunch of jagoff white shirts feel the hurt a little here, im certainly not about to lose any sleep over it!

I have no idea where you work but I feel sorry for the poor shelp that has to cover your stupid ass every fucking time you encounter Joe on the street. I'm will to bet that 100G's I earn that more times than not it takes you at least an hour to code a disturbance 5B. I can go on on but why bother, everyone knows what you're about.

No, because the department has eliminated the position of WC and created a new job with a new job description. Thats how they are trying to get around out of grade pay. Sgts will not be doing the Lt OR Capts job of WC but will be doing a new job called station supervisor or something. Those particular job responsibilities now fall under the responsibility of the person who is the designated station supervisor, who may be a sergeant.
But wait, there's more: Sgts cant approve TRRs or search warrants, so they will have to find a lt or above to do so and that may mean going to other districts to get that done. If the tac Lt comes in with something, the station supervisor (possibly a sgt) has 'rank' due to position. Tell me this wont cause problems. "Do it this way, I'm the lt!" "No, you are wrong and I'm the station supervisor!"

At the end of the day police will do most of the hard work. I personally don't give a flying fuck what happens to Lt. , Captains and definitely most of the Sgt's. For how many years have bosses been riding the gravy train, getting untold number of hours on the books without any justification, coming in late and leaving early. Now I can care less with regards to their perks but when they cast judgement on blue shirts for minor bullshit while everyone knows how dirty they, that's the part that bugs me.

Nice ... the very people you run to when you fuck up or don't want to take responsibility for your actions. You're really a moron and should just stay in your mommy's basement.
It is not the fact that civilians are not capable of doing many administrative jobs within the department. It is fact that the civilians that this department hires are not capable. Political hacks, retards, dummies, lazy, connected and do not care, thieves are just some of the words that come to mind.
"he showin my baybay gunz"
You are a moron. Please don't write about something that you have no experience in. And, no I'm not a lock up officer, desk officer, or secretary; however, I did perform these duties on couple occasions. This idea of stripping down desk and lock up personnel will have a negative impact on beat officers.
negative impact, beat officers dont need any help from the desk crew to answer there calls and do paperwork. i dont mind doing extra work to see these house mouses back on the street. its all worth it.

Very few are around who can remember the first and often pregnant street officer from 015 in the early 1970's. She requested to be a Dispatcher; in those days the whole system was staffed by sworn officers.
The department ignored her requests even though it was endorsed by her bosses. The department had no policy on pregnant police officers and wanted her to just up and quit.
So she was left to work a Beat Car on the Westside streets until one night she was investigating a burglary and an old gas station. This place had service bays with grease pits and she fell in.
Her friends got hold of Channel 2's Walter "Skippy" Jacobson and he made it an issue on the 10 o'clock news the next night. She was sent to Communications on a phone call and for the rest of her career she went back and forth from the 15th District to Communications several times as new kids arrived.
She didn’t take shit from anybody of the street, she was a good cop. Good luck Susie, wherever you are.
District Lieutenant/WC on Third Watch or Midnights wants to take time due...
Do you think they will bring in a Lieutenant from another District at premium pay to work that night.
Hell No. I'd be willing to bet they have something planned to make that Captain XO do it for no additional compensation.
Rahm can pull this shit because only 23% of cops vote.
Whereas, any long time organized, dope running street gang is funneling money into the Democratic Party of Cook County through seemingly legit business and community groups. The gangbangers vote.
We have to fight them with our votes.
I already do all the above myself! Put my stats against the original poster, I'm sure I should also be getting his/her paycheck. Arrests, backing up Officers, writing citations (trf, parking, anovs) code-ing jobs, tows/impounds, etc... Not all "white shirts" are meritorious, and do-nothings.

The City doesn't give a damn about your safety, one way or another. What they do care about, however, is lawsuits and liability.
Since the City is self-insured, they don't want to be viewed as liable for injury or death regarding the unborn child.
If someone walks into the station and shoots one of the desk officers, you have to sue the shooter, not the city

District Lieutenant/WC on Third Watch or Midnights wants to take time due...
Do you think they will bring in a Lieutenant from another District at premium pay to work that night.
Hell No. I'd be willing to bet they have something planned to make that Captain XO do it for no additional compensation.

Actually, no. Under the new plan, they'll just have a sergeant from the watch be the "Station Supervisor." This new plan eliminates the W/C position, and they'll never have to pay out of grade or premium pay again!
