Keep it clean.
awwwwwwww, do we have to?
Congrats to Captain Gerry Carroll on his retirement. Worked his last tour of duty last night. We in 003 wish him all the best. We lost one of the best bosses we ever had here in 003.
I thought there was suppose to be an academy class in october, so much for that.
Ch 5 news finally ran the video of the punk knocking out the old man on the CTA platform. They said that police did not know who the offender was. If these morons would read the SCC blog they have this mutts names, address, and phone number posted two days ago. They know who the old man is because he was taken to the hopital by Fire Dept. paramedics. Find the victim and arrest this little bastard. This incident should outrage everyone. Doesn't matter if this old man is homeless. It should especially outrage Black folks.
Just wanted to thank all the Men And Women who serve our country God Bless U All, also Happy B-Day to our beloved Marine Corp. SEMPER FI
From Unit #315
Open season on white people on the CTA lately in 017...Male AND Female Black teens preying on the liberals and "picking their apples." Civilians, if you're reading this, you need to arm yourself and PAY ATTENTION to your environment!
McNumbNut's an ASSHOLE.
Have a nice day!
Anyone have tickets for today's Nebraska game at Beaver Stadium? I've got your back.
Go Nittany Lions!
Where is the government oversight to investigate link card fraud?
Off-Topic.......But, maybe not too far off?
The Jefferson County, Alabama Bankruptcy case just hitting the MSM is the result of a Chicago/cook-county-like environment that initially borrowed/financed the complete rebuilding of the sewer system. Because of corruption, it had to be re-financed several times, and each time the clouted, corrupt ones profited immensely from the said refinance!
Could we potentially suffer the same fate with a Rham initiated rebuild of our sewer system ?????
Maybe the real agenda is to spend us into bankrupcy? Sort of like burn up the credit card before you throw in the towel.
It's bigger than the Orange County California debacle.
Google, Jefferson County, Alabama. It's an interesting read. I recall wiki might have a non-msm story about it.

A class of about 50 CPD Recruits IS in the acad. Also some metro.
As well as a ton of NATO/G8 classes....as well as a few other classes....which explains why parking is nonexistant if you dont get there before 6am!
November 29th is the next date Sen Tom Cross will try and pass SB512 cutting pensions.
WTH was up with the sleepover "lock down" party for kids in 011's conference rm? Free babysitting?? This Dept is getting nuts!
If you call an older woman who likes younger men a cougar, what do you call an older man that likes younger boys?

I pay attention but cannot arm myself.... legally.
Instead I have decided to just not go into the City anymore. Parking fees, liquor tax, speeding cameras etc. There is little or nothing in Chicago I cannot find outside of Crook County with one exception - a real Chicago pizza: Unos. At least Lou Malnatis is close and satisfies the pizza fix without feeling raped by the Dummucrats that run Chicago.
How about a minute away from the negativity?
Any good bosses we would like to recognize? Any good districts and/or watches to work. Any positive stories? Anything besides whining?
Does anyone know if the kid in someone's yard in 016 last night screaming that he was going to kill himself ever turned up? Hopefully all turned out ok.
Get the "F" out of Chicago McNutSack.
You don't belong here. You're only here for the money and to fuel your ego. You have no loyalty for the men and women of CPD and you sure as hell don't care about the city and its citizens. Chicago is not your home.
You miserable sycophant.
Just leave!
Where's tactical barbie? on LOA so no SWAT for her? Did she go to county with Hamilton and Masters?
A HUGE amount of nonsense ends at Ohare in a couple of days...Not all of it though.
Wtf,TMF Got me LMAO,WDTWFU,LM.....what do they want from us Low man power....I F U L I T C....I'm feeling uncomfortable living in the city,tickets for speeding ,tickets for too many city stickers in the window,ticket for no dog license and proper neutering ,even my dog is feeling uncomfortable ,ticket for not getting my snow shoveled,criminals make the other guy their victim,and this Mayor is making us all victims,let's turn the table and make him a victim,how about a pay cut for all these over paid politicians,how much will we save?

I'll miss you too Capt.! If some bosses were only half of the man you are, this department would have some great morale!
Does Ray Ray Hamilton still have a badge and a company card? Isn't he a civilian no police powers so if so he loses senority and has to come back in a year
A hardy shout-out to Mass Transits finest, who after 7 years perfecting his trade in the bowels of Skull Island(O'Hare)finally ventures south of Jeff Park.
Oh how the City must have changed.
"Black teens preying on the liberals"
Damn, I guess I should stop wearing my tie-dyed jeans and "Rob Me I'm a Lberal" smiley-face button whenever I venture into the fetid bowels of the CTA. Then I'll be perfectly safe.

Jerry,
CONFIDENTIAL
I've got room for you and five preadolescent future PSU tight ends in a private suite next to the pressbox. I've dyed my hair black. Likewise, while you're out on bail in "Happy Valley", please wear a disguise. Use your head. I don't want you to make me and my moral compass look like the indecisive mush that I truly am.
"Red"
P.S.: Not a word to JoePa. Nebraska's nickname is the CORNHUSKERS, NOT the Cornholers.
This incident should outrage everyone. Doesn't matter if this old man is homeless. It should especially outrage Black folks.

Best boss the Cpd will ever have. Miss that guy was a dam good man and an unbelievable boss.
11/11/2011 04:47:00 PM
Signed: one of the drinking buddies he took care of.
These are the guys that drove the Department into the ditch. The ones that presented the situation that Richie,Rahm and his friends used to make the Department the underfunded joke it is today.
But he did get the great job after wrecking the Department and he's making a ton of dough for very little work. How are things going for you? You making that mortgage payment? How about that tax bill? Payed it with out even thinking I'll bet. Yeah, McCotter and all those guys like him were terrific, just like our elected officials.

Not going to happen,ever, a certain party needs those votes.
Thank a Democrat
..the CTA incident with the old man should have inflamed and enraged the black community. Anyone? Anyone? Perhaps this behavior is common among the immature young blacks.
take a look around roll call today and you will probably see a lot of stoic faces--- the anxiety level of most street coppers is peaking right now--- beat realignment, g/8 and nato, and imminent contract negotiations are making guys worry--- our disposable income keeps dwindling as quinn and rahmbo chip away at the granite block that was once middle class america--- I guess if you have your health you have everything but having a few extra bucks in your pocket once in awhile doesn't hurt--- god bless to all and travel safe....
I am not worried about my pension. When I retire in a few years if there is no pension I fear not. One thing I have learned on this job in over 20 years is that crime does pay and I have seen some good criminals. I know a bunch of fellow retirees that will be in the same boat. I propose we resurrect the long Riders but instead of former soldiers they be former police officers. Racoon eyes and his lot have plenty of funds lying around we just need a few brave souls to redistribute it. This may not be a joke in a few years.....
We have the Thompson prison facility vacant.Two tiers at the jail are vacant.There is room at all the facilities in Illinois.....The state still won't violate and return parolees to prison when they don't make meets, piss hot, or are arrested for other minor crimes. It is too bad the state run media is so corrupt. There is a major story here.
What was going on in 006 last night? I thought the Tact team was just about to walk out.
Investigate Link Card fraud?
It will never happen. It's how the dems buy votes these days. They use to give these parasites a bottle of wine for their vote, now they give them a link card.

I thought there was a class of 50 that started 2-3 weeks ago. They are the 50 that were financed with fed money to cover the CTA. That's why CTA special is out the door next year.
Just saying.....SCC should have a Open Post once a week.....That way a post doesn't get lost in another topic...
Thanks
OMG please.... Can you white shirts learn how to treat us lowly blue shirts. I dont think I can take another day in 017 on 3 rd watch. I never have worked with a captain that had so much hate in their heart. Please retire soon. Very soon. Between you and that useless 3rd watch secretairy I think I can speak for 99.9% of the watch by saying the both of you are the reason 3rd watch sux.
Please commander... This watch is unbareable. The petty crap the captain raises hell over is beyond childish. All she wants to do is make everybody miserable. And she is. Then we have the yellow haired pink skinned watch secrairy bitch who constantly stirs the pot. Make work fun and we will produce. Get rid of these 2 3rd watch morale killers and we will explode with activity. PLEASE!
Coming to a dystopia near you!
Subject: Chicago's Mayor's speed camera proposal gains traction in Springfield
In an effort to enerate revenue, Emanuel contends slowing speeders will protect children in safety zones near schools and public parks that already have red light cameras. This would cover a large part of the Chicago..
The Cordon multi-target photo radar system is fully scary. It can simultaneously identify and follow up to 32 vehicles across four lanes of traffic. The Cordon system quickly creates two images per vehicle… one from a wide-angle view and one zoomed in on the license plate. The system also monitors vehicle speed and can be synchronized with other databases for more government snooping.
The system is fairly compact so it can be hidden on light poles, traffic signals, or exsisting red light cameras. Watch the video below - cars tagged with green dots are below the speed limit, yellow dots are obeying the speed limit, and red are speeding.

JoePa deserve to be fired. He had knowledge that Sandusky sexually violated those boys. JoePa is just as guilty. He will never be considered an all-time great coach after this scandal. Top 3 college football coaches are: Eddie Robinson, Bear Bryant and Tom Osborne.
The Homicide Task Force lists are real. The Chief of Dets is not aware because McNutty doesn't want him aware. The Homicide Task Force will not report to the Chief of Dets, they will report to Chief of Compstat, Tracy.
Burne will handle the burglary and robbery BS along with the homicides no one cares about. The Homicide Task Force will do McNutty's bidding directly by working on any and all high profile cases.
McNutty hates the way the D Unit is run. He thinks there are way too many Dets. McNutty is moving the D Unit out of the D Unit and putting it directly under his control.
Don't be surprised when the next contract proposal eliminates the D2A pay for all "detectives" except those on the Homicide Task Force. Everyone else will move down to D2.
One more thing from your new boss. Absolutely NO overtime for robbery/burglary dicks assigned to Districts.
Things are about to change big time.
Any suburbs hiring po's? I am starting to hate this city. If they load up on speed cameras I swear I'm leaving this place
I thought this was interesting:
http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-truth-about-violence/
How do the the law enforcement professionals here feel about these guidelines?
Just a suggestion before its too late when it comes to our pensions, we all should start calling our union office and ask why they are not running any radio or other campaigns to inform the public the truth about what's happened and going to happen to our pensions. They need to tell the public what the Mayor and other elected officials are trying to do to to us with our pensions. Also should be addressed what happened to all the money that was slated in the budgets that was supposed to be funding the pensions but wasn't! If a publicaly traded company CEO ever had in a yearly budget that money was going for one item and never used it for that particular item, members of the company would get indicted by SCC, but these politicians aren't held accountable and now we get screwed and the public listens to politicians who are saying its the employees who are not willing to make cuts in bad economic times. What they won't mention is the truth as to how it got so bad! I maybe just running on here but something needs to be done, the unions could all pool money together from the police, fire, supervisor union and any other organization that will be affected and start running information campaigns like the teachers are currently doing. The union leaders need to stop playing nice because In the end the politicians are going to stick it to us

To the high tax paying residents in Sauganash, think you should know that your beat car on midnites is not working. What you say, yes due to the lack of manpower there is moons working it. So keep paying those huge taxes, for garbage collection and snow removal, the police it are not part of the equation. Call your insurance agent and check ur policy, because the burglars will figure this one out quickly.

There is going to be a lawsuit over the Online Registration for the application.
Apparently the City job site refused to upload scanned photos of Transcripts and attach them to the applications.
Rumors Rumors Rumors anyone? I heard a good one that made me laugh out loud the other day. Apparently the 1st Deputy made an ass out of himself at a meeting somewhere in the 19th district. I believe he remarked about COPS with nothing to do hanging out at Dunkin Doughnuts. The 1st Deputy did not appreciate the Dunkin Doughnuts coupon book that was sent to him through Department mail. I will be sure to forward all my future Dunkin coupons to him and hope you all join me as well. I think this butt hole need to show and say he is sorry for his dumb ass remarks.
Do not allow yourselves to become bitter, or depressed with the injustices that are all around you.

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.
Oh, off topic, Nice Job at Compstat on Thursday to soon-to-be-retired Cmdr JB. Long and short of it, they gave him the mic at the end of the meeting to give a final farwell and he immediately commenced to call out McNutty. Apparently what was said was, one day McNutty would be gone and some other exempt in the room would be the Supe, and that when that happened they should make sure to "un-fu**" all the stupid mistakes that McNutty is making. At which time ball put down the mic and walked out. Sorry to see you go Boss. Enjoy your retirement, get deep into their money.
As we get ready for Furlo picks, and FOP has filed their grievance for denying 5B furloughs, what happens when the Arbitrator, at some point in 2 years, rules in favor of the Dept?
Has the door been opened to deny Summer Furlos all together, even for "pre-planned events"? I haven't seen the percentages allowed for 7th,8th & 13th period furlos.
But if FOP wins, I'm sure there won't be any monetary compensation, only time off, at 'the employers discretion'.
Why does the OO2dist have a beat car on 51st and prairie on a fixed post with mars lights flashing on 1st 2nd 3rd watch? Please someone tell me what this is supposed to do. We short as it is now we short an entire car/beat being a fixed post. 24hour nonstop fixed post doing nothing, suppressing nothing, stopping nothin wasting gas and electricity!!
Common Sense in the 1st and 18th Districts, since 75% of Arrests their are Holding the Offender [SHOPLIFTERS] Why not have people assigned to the Station Process them,It makes no sense for a beat car to sit and wait for 2 hours for Felony review, or 5 hours waiting for the prints to clear on a Female.Sometimes half the beat cars are down on Shoplifters.
Desperate times....
SPRINGFIELD -- Copper thieves have struck at Lincoln's Tomb in Springfield.
An employee recently noticed that a copper statue atop the tomb was missing a 3-foot-long sword. The statue is of a Civil War artillery officer.
The sword was allegedly taken sometime between September and early November. It was broken at the handle.
The rest of the statue escaped significant damage.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-copper-sword-stolen-from-statue-at-lincolns-tomb-20111112,0,7231200.story
We have been told over and over how broke our city and state are. Why was there not a referendum to hear the peoples voice about the financial, architectural, and physical destruction we will experience in May.
@LINk Fraud - If you have a lead(s) then contact CPD intel, they work with the feds on these cases.
Do a post on all the retirees that are leaving on the 15th or in the next month.

Rham, you became a millionaire off of your political connections. Now you wish to separate more money out of my wallet by "pension reform" no raises, no special, higher taxes and fees and a general fucking of all of us.
Normal, taxpaying, citizens are going to rise up and it will bite you in your skinny ass.
No matter what you do, you won't become the first Jewish President.
still losing 30-40 officers every month and still no hiring. this department and city is so screwed.

There have been commercials "We are one campaign". All Unions pooled money to run ads. Oh by the way all the pension bills were defeated. They are back in session Nov 29th. Continue to call your reps and senators.
Capt. on 3rd watch in 017 please, please, please retire.
When did the districts start by-passing the contract? (I know forever). But how can you be told that you can only take Thanksgiving or the day after Thanksgiving off(Not both days). You can not take both in a certain district. Your slip will be refused and not signed for both days off. Even if you are #1 in seniority in the district and want to take both days off you have to choose one or the other.(I guess seniority doesn't matter anymore) And before you say file a grievance, my response is what good will that do for me now. We may get compensated somehow down the road but that doesn't justify or do me any good not being able to take off back to back days for the holidays now when I need/want both days off. I guess this in-house rule will apply to Christmas eve and Christmas day. You will only be able to take off one day or the other?????
There are NO red light cameras in bridgeport or canaryville.
According to a memo sent to the downtown businesses, G8/NATO is only from 19 May - 21 May!!!! WTF that's three days with two of those days being weekends!!!!! Why are they telling us we can't have a 5B or full 5!!! Lying pieces of shit!!! The city received 54mil dollars for the conferences and nothing for us!!! Fuck Rahm !!! Fuck McNutty!!!! Chicago will burn in May!!

She has poisoned every unit she's been assigned to (note: I did not say worked in, because the sergeants have to do her work, or else it gets buried in three inches of debris in and on her desk).
Remember, this is the woman who told her kid the dog ran away, when she actually turned it in as a biter. Decent dog. She just didn't like it barking all the time.
And who divorced her ailing husband just before her big settlement check arrived from the City, after she sued to be promoted to captain.
Heard she was going after the holidays? Then again, she swore, for years, she was leaving this past August. Feel sorry for you guys, but you aren't the only ones who've had to suffer because of her.
No more city police at airports in 2013. Anyone else hear whispers?
147pm is EXACTLY right. If the city were to win this grievance regarding furloughs they technically could use this every year to block out 6,7,8 or any other furloughs they choose to. What would stop them from saying we need more officers on the street in june, july, and august when crime peaks and they choose to block any segments they want? This is a very serious issue and one we need to pay close attention to.

Police cruisers to serve as NASCAR pace cars
By PoliceOne Staff
A few built-for-law-enforcement Fords will serve as pace cars for the auto company’s Championship Weekend NASCAR races.
NASCAR drivers will chase both Sedan and utility versions of the Ford Police Interceptor around Homestead-Miami Speedway next weekend, according to a press release.Â
Rolled out last year, the vehicles are designed to handle the duties of police work, and they not only boast sophisticated handling and potential for 148 mph speeds, but they look nice, too.
Fords have been used as pace cars in NASCAR before, but this is the first time in many years that their ‘civilian’ models were passed up for patrol cars.

Nice to see that the that the 18th district medical abuser is off again for the holidays and will probably not be back until after NATO/G8 summit. Must be nice to be doing this for the past few years and not getting busted for it. Thank you A$$---- for being such a dog A$$

You forgot about the 100 new civilian lockup recruits that will start on Monday. Personnel did not even finish the background check on the new lockup keepers because they are in a big rush to graduate them before xmas. Then Rahm can say"1,000 on the street". 100 civilian lockup keepers but not new CPD recruits. Go figure

Congrats to Captain Gerry Carroll on his retirement. Worked his last tour of duty last night. We in 003 wish him all the best. We lost one of the best bosses we ever had here in 003.
I'm not his brother Jimmy but did work for Gerry in 009 years back. I wholeheartedly concur with the above opinion. You'll be sorely missed Gerry. I hope you enjoy a long,healthy retirement.
What was going on in 006 last night? I thought the Tact team was just about to walk out.

I've heard varying rumors surrounding parts of this for awhile now. It's ridiculous enough for the department to consider but I don't think it will work out as smoothly as planned.
It sounds as if these "bonding officers" will be doing the work of a desk officer and a desk Sgt. but the city wants to stiff them on the out of grade pay. To that I say a big Fuck You to Rahm and McNutty. Remember you get what you pay for!
010th District could you please use the alpha numeric code system. We do not need a long drawn out explaination of your job, just code it. So much of the air is tied up with 010 going on and on about things that could be said with a 19P. It is an officer safety issue. If you need to talk to another officer at length meet or call on the cell phone. It seems that when something hot happens in 010 they spend the next 30-45 minutes asking for the description over and over again with contradictory flash messages of the offender or vehicle. Get the best information and then put it out there. Don't talk to every mope on the street and take what they say as gospel. I know that this is what the sgts do on a regular basis, ie 1070, but that doesn't mean everyone should do it. Talking and tying up the air does not mean you are actually working. You are not fooling anyone, just yourself. And for goodness sake, a group of shitheads fighting a half block away while you are sitting in your squad car IS NOT AN EMERGENCY! Zone 10 is too busy and too shorthanded for 010 to tie up the air with so much nonsense. Please keep it short. And could someone, anyone in 010 work north of Ogden.
Would like to know where I can get a recent copy of 'The Gallows.' If there isn't one there should be.
Let's be grateful that we have a job and we can now afford housing in Chicago.

"Why does the OO2dist have a beat car on 51st and prairie on a fixed post with mars lights flashing on 1st 2nd 3rd watch? Please someone tell me what this is supposed to do.

Wasting electricity? Please tell me how a Tahoe running on gas with MARS lights on is wasting electricity? Please tell me you aren't this stupid?
The reason for the car was explained by the 3rd Watch WC a few days ago. Maybe drop in your WC's office and ask, you will get an answer. That being said, the reason is absolutely idiotic. The "tip" will just move down a few blocks as it already has. But, McCocksucker thinks he's smarter than the average beat cop.
Has Capt. Altman, of the CFD, turned himself in yet? Supposed to be agreement to do that but all is quiet.
Who's the sergeant in mass transit they call Peppermint Patty ?
Don't know if the Captains agreed to the changes, but I know the Lieutenants have not. The Department can write any job description they want, but a Lieutenant who does the duties of a W/C gets paid as a watch commander. If not their will be a grievance which the city will lose. I know Rahm likes to violate contracts, so maybe he'll do it, but he will lose. Same thing with he Sergeants, Any sergeant who performs W/C duties, will get paid. Don't think this is going to happen yet as Sergeants have never received W/C training.
There have been commercials "We are one campaign". All Unions pooled money to run ads. Oh by the way all the pension bills were defeated. They are back in session Nov 29th. Continue to call your reps and senators.

===========================
votes on these matters will be done in the deep dark of night like 3 am on a Sunday morning so the public don't see it. Or will be buried within other legislation.
You can bet your azz that if Nov 29 does turn out to be the date for the vote it's because there is some other news that will be on the table at that day that can be used as a distraction away from this story.

When did the districts start by-passing the contract? (I know forever). But how can you be told that you can only take Thanksgiving or the day after Thanksgiving off(Not both days). You can not take both in a certain district. Your slip will be refused and not signed for both days off. Even if you are #1 in seniority in the district and want to take both days off you have to choose one or the other.(I guess seniority doesn't matter anymore) And before you say file a grievance, my response is what good will that do for me now. We may get compensated somehow down the road but that doesn't justify or do me any good not being able to take off back to back days for the holidays now when I need/want both days off. I guess this in-house rule will apply to Christmas eve and Christmas day. You will only be able to take off one day or the other?????
11/12/2011 05:29:00 PM
Man the fuck up!
Throw down a pday for the day after. Then file your grievance. If that won't make you happy then take the holiday and hit the medical after.

Subject: Chicago's Mayor's speed camera proposal gains traction in Springfield
In an effort to enerate revenue, Emanuel contends slowing speeders will protect children in safety zones near schools and public parks that already have red light cameras....
--------------------
The handgun band did not stop shootings and the red light cameras did not eliminate people running the red lights.
I think we can learn from history what will happen. ROAD RAGE. from the traffic nightmare in the city.
Q. How much will the rush-hour traffic times be extended? If the average speed of a delivery truck, taxi, etc is decreased by lets say 5 mph over an 8 hour shift that's 40 miles less. That is surely a few stops on a delivery route. The number of people that you can get in and out of the city on a per-hour basis like to Midway airport from downtown will go down. To avoid the cameras the expressways will be more jammed and now we're putting city buses on I-55 to run on the shoulders. It's a nightmare. Broke down city buses with no seat beats and people standing in the aisles doing 55 MPH! Ha, think about it.
Why do off duty officers, in their personal cars, feel the need to fly by marked squad cars? Has the people on this job become that ignorant?
Its bad enough that their are plenty of asshole citizens who have no respect for us, but why does it transfer to the police.
Maybe I am being petty, but I have enough respect for a working officer not to drive like an ass. No Ive never written an off duty officer a ticket, but in some ways I can see why some do.
To the officer asking if the suburbs are hiring....Stay away from the south suburbs...Daley sent alot of your non tax paying mutts our way when the projects came down. The politics here suck just as much as Chicago. I'm sure you've read the Regina Evans fiasco in Country Club Hills. Trust me...Same Bullshit, different patch.
There are NO red light cameras in bridgeport or canaryville.

SPRINGFIELD -- Copper thieves have struck at Lincoln's Tomb in Springfield.
An employee recently noticed that a copper statue atop the tomb was missing a 3-foot-long sword. The statue is of a Civil War artillery officer.
The sword was allegedly taken sometime between September and early November. It was broken at the handle.
The rest of the statue escaped significant damage.

And it happened because gov potato head cut the budget for the midnight guard.
How does closing districts and areas but keeping the buildings open/ in use save any money?
How does closing a new lockup save any time/money when officers then must transport arestees to a lock up to be processed?
What is the real goal of our leaders?
15 years ago each district had gas pumps officers filled up did not lose patrol time traveling to gas it was a good system.
Small changes can increse manpower or greatly decrease available manpower. It would be nice if the leadership knew which was which
FYI, wilding arrests again tonight (Sat.) on Michigan Avenue, Water Tower Place. It's safer to be in Gary than Michigan Avenue lately.
Congrats to Capt Gerry Carroll... One of the Very best bosses I have ever had the pleasure working for... an intelligent man, an understanding boss and a good human being.. Enjoy your retirement.. you have certainly earned it..You will sorely be missed on this department..

FYI, doesn't matter who agrees to the changes. The City will make the changes, they will rewrite whate the duties of each rank are and put them out in a G.O. and implement them. Then everyone can grieve, and in a few years the grievance will be settled. Don't you know how it works rookie?

Just curious, I read about how Chicago is broke, and has no money for anything, and while I'm at O'Hare about once a week I see the Chicago Police there, Okay, that's normal in all the other major cities I fly to.
There are the Airport Police? that sit aound and have no guns, Odd.
Then there are these security guards?!? that wear uniforms that kinda look like the Chicago Police but most of them in look like they're graduates of the "Leave No Donut Behind" program,
What exactly do they do? because I really doubt they're getting paid with cheesecakes.
Anonymous said... Common Sense in the 1st and 18th Districts, since 75% of Arrests their are Holding the Offender [SHOPLIFTERS] Why not have people assigned to the Station Process them,It makes no sense for a beat car to sit and wait for 2 hours for Felony review, or 5 hours waiting for the prints to clear on a Female.Sometimes half the beat cars are down on Shoplifters.

All we were told is that McTool drove by and saw some people hanging on the corner, and that the alderman is bitching about that spot. So instead of send a bunch of 06 cars, tact teams, housing teams etc to lock some fools up - they decided to put a car down on All three watches (with face to face reliefs/lunch reliefs) and have a car sit in that EXACT spot and do nothing for a whole tour??? What a waste. The idea to sit there with mars lights on was Capt. On 1st watch idea?? If that what they want, why not just put a blue light camera up or better yet, take a shitty pool car (or shitty regular vat for that matter) put a dummy in drivers seat (non living dummy) and turn mars lights on.

Use you bid. Come to the real part of town. "Joe" is reaking havoc over there. Arrests and overtime are plentiful. You don't find the silly infighting in the station that you find on the north side, mainly because everyone is too busy.

Brazilian police take over Rio's biggest slum to bring security before World Cup, Olympics
BRADLEY BROOKS
Associated Press
8:34 a.m. CST, November 13, 2011
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — More than 3,000 police and soldiers backed by armored personnel carriers raced into Brazil's biggest slum before dawn Sunday, quickly gaining control of a shantytown ruled for decades by a heavily armed drug gang.
It was the most ambitious operation yet in an effort to increase security before Rio hosts the final matches of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Officials are counting on those events to signal Brazil's arrival as a global economic, political and cultural power.
"We're taking back this territory for the 100,000 citizens of Rocinha, people who have needed peace," said Sergio Cabral, governor of Rio de Janeiro state.
The action in Rocinha is part of a campaign to drive the drug gangs out of the city's slums, where the traffickers often rule unchallenged. The city of Rio de Janeiro has more than 1,000 shantytowns where about one-third of its 6 million people live.
Authorities said it took just 90 minutes to seize control of Rocinha. Police simultaneously overran the neighboring Vidigal slum, also previously dominated by the drug gang Friends of Friends.
Both slums sit between two of Rio's richest neighborhoods, and Rocinha's ramshackle shacks climb a mountainside covered in Atlantic rain forest. Police methodically cleared alleys and streets on their way up steep, winding roads.
Huey helicopters continued to pound the air above, crisscrossing the hill and flying low over the jungle surrounding the slum, as police hunted down suspects who may have fled into the forest. By midday, local outlets reported just one arrest, though that couldn't be independently confirmed.
---
Good thing Rio got the Olympics, at least Richy didn't get it. That selection day was priceless, Richard M Daley getting his dick stuck in the mud.
Now perhaps Chicago will see an influx of Brazilian shitheads from the slums of Rio. That would seem fitting.
When it comes to DOH by seniority,next day put in personal in advance. if they dont give it grieve it. i'm tired of PO's crying about the holidays but are afraid to grieve it. when the watch commander doesnt give you off and there are 20 slips on commanders desk with grievances let him/her explain why they are paying senior officers time and a half. this has happened in past and been won by FOP.

That dumb fucker did the same thing in A/5. We moved file cabinets into the bathrooms. Seiously, we don't have scanners to scan docs, we have outdated Windows software, we have original evidence that needs somewhere to sit while you go through it (checks, etc).
Dumbest fucking thing I ever heard of. Good luck. At A/5 I heard that he did it because he didn't like the way it looked. Now it might be because you guys will need the space to put more desks for the influx of dets.
Great working environment. Just great. I especially love being unable to open documents/evidence I am sent because our version of Windows is so old.
I cannot get off this fucking job fast enough.
XOs & W/C and Desk Sgt: Do what the fuck you want GMAC. We have a contract and collective bargaining and I don't care what you and Rahm think we have labor law on our side. Rename any job you want. The contract prevails over policy. Talk to us next year at the negotiations table but you're going to pay us now. Your idea sucks. Period. No one wants its. Rahm has already lost in court against the teachers and some Lts have won concerning the disbanding of CCG. Just because it's wht the NYPD does doesn't make it right for us.
With the lock up closing in our district,overtime is rolling in for the wagon guys and beat cars unablet to get transports$$$
Oh, off topic, Nice Job at Compstat on Thursday to soon-to-be-retired Cmdr JB. Long and short of it, they gave him the mic at the end of the meeting to give a final farwell and he immediately commenced to call out McNutty. Apparently what was said was, one day McNutty would be gone and some other exempt in the room would be the Supe, and that when that happened they should make sure to "un-fu**" all the stupid mistakes that McNutty is making. At which time ball put down the mic and walked out. Sorry to see you go Boss. Enjoy your retirement, get deep into their money.

First of all I'm not a house mouse. I've worked the streets for more than 25 years. Secondly, I don't work in 007. Thirdly, Turkey is not that important to me, but going out of town to visit a sick relative is!!! Fourth, I have figured out how to get time off , that's why I put DOH and a personal day in(and yes it was more than 10 days in advance, 12Nov11 to 25Nov11 would be more than 10 days in advance). Fifth, I did not want to hit the medical to go out of town for several days because maybe I'm not a dog-ass like you who abuses the medical(you know the medical abusers that you bitch about for the last few years in your posts "HATER") Lastly, I'm probably older than you son judging by your daily posts. I do read the contract, attend FOP meetings and I am in contact with FOP if there is a problem. By reading your jibberish posts everyday I see you have a lot of complaints but yet you do nothing about them either except coming on the blog to complain. And as far as Facebook. lol No I don't have a facebook account(I'm a bit too old for that).
Nice to see that the that the 18th district medical abuser is off again for the holidays and will probably not be back until after NATO/G8 summit. Must be nice to be doing this for the past few years and not getting busted for it. Thank you A$$---- for being such a dog A$$

Congrats to Gerry Carroll on your retirement.
I worked with your Dad-- Jim - in Area 4 years ago as well as your brother Dennis in narcotics . Your Dad was so proud of his boys. I have two sons that worked for you, they speak so highly of you. You were a sincere man who was concerned about those who worked for him. Reminds me of your Dad when he worked the desk at Area 4, he had a sincere concern for all the young detectives that worked the floor.
My one son worked for your brother Jim in 008,
He too is a good man, but he should have never been made a boss. He should have stayed a supervisor on the tact team where he exhibited the same sincere qualities that your Dad and you had. Instead the pressures of command turned him into a Cmdr Queeg from the Caine Mutiny.
I understand that due to illness that Jim has loss a ton of weight.
I will keep him in my prayers.
Congrats to all of Jim Carroll's sons! Enjoy many years of health and happiness with your families. Your Dad would be so proud of all of you!!!
To all the men and women of this fine department, stay safe and always put your families first.
God bless all of you.
U of I and Urbana PD report that unless your child was at a party in the 1300 block of Lincoln there is nothing to worry about. Just a "dispute" with some party folks. Can not thank you enough for all the honor roll students that you guys send down to Parkland.. Thanks.

Absolutely fucking A right! I'll be writing an ANOV or making paper for a job that would normally be a 19P a few minutes before checkoff. I'll have a time due slip filled out with the appropriate times for OT. I'll submit it to my supervisor and have a copy for myself. If the city doesn't pay me the OT I'll file keep a detailed record and file a grievance and any corresponding lawsuit that is appropriate. I have no problem swiping or palming, but the city WILL pay me for ANY OT. If any white shirt denies to sign it that will get detailed also and they'll be included in the grievance/lawsuit. Now fuck what you heard, I'm telling you what I know I'll do. I dare the department and the city to deny OT pay.

Consider liking/commenting to show your support and contacting your alderman. Good people will lose their job who work hard to drag information from uncooperative citizens. (Sorry for all the bullshit calls we're required to send you on.)

Female PO in 023,crashes into another PO's personal car, smashes headlight out and then takes off. PO confronts her and raises his voice at her,very minor about her stupid actions. She is offended that she was yelled at and tried to get a CR # on the other PO by going directly to IAD. What has this department come to ?
All we were told is that McTool drove by and saw some people hanging on the corner, and that the alderman is bitching about that spot.
-------
So why didn't McTool get his ass out of the car and be the police?
Any chance we can get back into plain clothes? This is really screwing with surveillence
To the unpublished God fearing, Law abiding bigot:
We're sure you can find a klan meeting more to your liking. Sorry those people left you with a tiny dick. Politically correct? No. But not an incubator for your brand of bullshit either. FOAD Asshat

Bullshit
I've known Gerry carroll for his whole time on the job.
Spent almost 18 years rotating around the clock working a beat car, tact team and detective. A hard working detective from old area 3 and area 1 - when you were involved in a shooting you wanted Gerry and his crew to show up and handle.
He made detective, sergeant and lt off a test.
Oh yea, he was a merit capt but all capts are merit,
I guess it doesn't matter that the day he made capt he chases down, fights with and arrested a guy who killed his neighbor.
Don't ever compare him to that bitch Webster,
Gerry is the real deal.
Get your facts straight asshole,,,,,
I guess the older one was teaching the younger one not to run from the police
A 6-year-old boy was accidentally shot and critically wounded by his 13-year-old uncle during a game of "cops and robbers," according to family members
My son was supposed to be the robber

Never raise your voice at female officers. They are very sensitive and will file complaints and beef on you. Be very careful around females, they will beef and white shirts will listen.
Something must be in the water at CPD because it appears to be a trend to get a CR number on your co worker if they hurt your feelings or call you a name.
If you are talking about the 18th District Officer, f/1 who looks like an over weight racoon forget about it. She is Angerone's honey and he is going to take care of her for the rest of his career. Don't worry she will be your boss someday because that is how this department works.
But, I am in the KMA Club, and if that cheap, crooked (*^%((!! wants to take the pay upgrade away for being the W.C. then I am gone.
You just don't get it, do you? That's exactly what they want.
Absolutely fucking A right! I'll be writing an ANOV or making paper for a job that would normally be a 19P a few minutes before checkoff. I'll have a time due slip filled out with the appropriate times for OT. I'll submit it to my supervisor and have a copy for myself. If the city doesn't pay me the OT I'll file keep a detailed record and file a grievance and any corresponding lawsuit that is appropriate. I have no problem swiping or palming, but the city WILL pay me for ANY OT. If any white shirt denies to sign it that will get detailed also and they'll be included in the grievance/lawsuit. Now fuck what you heard, I'm telling you what I know I'll do. I dare the department and the city to deny OT pay.

No doubt, you are a joy as a cohabitant and a coworker. Regardless, there is a huge flaw in your plan, but go ahead and embarass yourself. You won't get paid, you won't win a greivance and you'll create another huge, unmerited chip to carry on your shoulder.
anybody know ? anybody care?
did JB make sgt , lt and commander without merit ?
just askin , it's another gold braid pension
write her a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident, if she flees after striking your car

Area 2 is now home of the paperless office thanks to??? no one has taken credit for making all the detectives empty the files and shred them. No place other than a locker to store reference or a coffee cup. It really is nuts
On top of that I brought in a thermometer to check how hot it really was and it showed 98 degrees. How the fuck are you supposed to work in these conditions. Now I have to put all my on going cases in my locker and in my car. You can't inventory everything you need to reference for an ongoing cases. These dumb asses are fucking the D-units up.
to the Dickhead who posted at 12;15
I've known Capt Carroll for his whole career.
I worked for almost 30 yrs for a suburban police dept that borders Chicago. We worked cases together and drank together up at Casto's on 111th street years ago.
When I worked different so. suburban task forces we had several occasions to go to Area 1 looking for shooters and robbery suspects. Gerry and his partner O'B would always assist us in hitting addresses at 2 or 3 am looking for our offenders. I saw his style, he is anything but a political hack.
Also, few in the CPD know this as he never wanted it publicized. About 3 years ago, a young rookie Oak Lawn Police Officer walked into an ATT cell phone store on 95th street to take a report. A piece of garbage from Englewood was in the act of robbing the store (strong arm). When he saw the uniformed officer he overpowered him and had him on the ground trying to disarm him. Gerry Carroll just happened to walk in and saw this fight. Did this 19th ward political hack back out the door. He instead tackled the guy getting him off the officer and proceeded to roll around the floor with this guy while the officer was able catch his breath and to call for help and then Gerry and the young officer were able to get him cuffed. Oh, did I happen to mention the offender was 30yrs younger then Gerry.
You sir, are a complete asshole.
You lost a great cop, a great boss and a true friend.
Enjoy retirement Gerry...

Ch 5 news finally ran the video of the punk knocking out the old man on the CTA platform. They said that police did not know who the offender was. If these morons would read the SCC blog they have this mutts names, address, and phone number posted two days ago. They know who the old man is because he was taken to the hopital by Fire Dept. paramedics. Find the victim and arrest this little bastard. This incident should outrage everyone. Doesn't matter if this old man is homeless. It should especially outrage Black folks.
"Why don't you do us all a favor, it being so easy, even a caveman can do it, and arrest the offender for us morons, then call Felony Review and ask for charges based on a video and information from the internet!"
Don't comment on shit you know nothing about, now go get yourself a DOPW arrest.
Again, to the unpublished God fearing, Law abiding bigot:
This is an Irish town and has been for over 100 years.
We didn't shitcan your posts for that. Assigning devil worship and your twisted Book of Revelations bullshit to an entire race is what got your comments deleted. That and the fact you posted it 20 times in a dozen threads. The SPAM filter picks that up before we even see it.
As to this being a conduit to the man on five, your silly fantasy world must be crumbling around your ears. Seriously, seek help. You are about as far from a God fearing patriotic American as it is possible to be.
To the whiner on 3rd watch in 017, did you put your watch bid slip in for midnights? Put your money where your mouth is because she treats the workers just fine. If you are a dog or a medical roll abuser, then you are right, she probably does make you miserable.
USMC Birthday Huraahh Lets put our Marine Deputy AO3 Tobias in charge of G* NATO he can lead us and will kick some ass DEvil Dog!!!! Marine Embassy Security Guard Battalion
Just wanted to thank all the Men And Women who serve our country God Bless U All, also Happy B-Day to our beloved Marine Corp. SEMPER FI
LEARN TO SPELL JARHEAD IT CORPS NOT CORP that's incorporated but then again ur heads too big to understand
That 23 incident is ridiculous. I know the guy who's car was hit and I know he was pissed. Not about the damage but the mere fact that another PO did it, and left the scene. He wanted to pursue it, but bosses there wouldn't do it. Even better they went out of their way to stop it. If she would've said something , he wouldn't have made her pay, its just how he is, but now its matter of principle. She is the bosses pet and a girlfriend of a tac sgt. Go figure.
Bring back Stalag 17...3rd watch has enough drama to keep the editions going until 2013...or for all the crybabies on the watch who throw a temper tantrum when they don't get their way, bid to midnights or when a district opens up, do us all a favor and bid out! Try your nonsense in a busier district and see what happens!
Q. How much will the rush-hour traffic times be extended? If the average speed of a delivery truck, taxi, etc is decreased by lets say 5 mph over an 8 hour shift that's 40 miles less. That is surely a few stops on a delivery route. The number of people that you can get in and out of the city on a per-hour basis like to Midway airport from downtown will go down. To avoid the cameras the expressways will be more jammed and now we're putting city buses on I-55 to run on the shoulders. It's a nightmare. Broke down city buses with no seat beats and people standing in the aisles doing 55 MPH! Ha, think about it.
11/12/2011 10:04:00 PM
Let's not forget the bike lanes, which effectively cut two auto traffic lanes down to one. No bikes in sight, but cars stacked up back through two intersections on through streets. Commutes have already worsened.
Now, with the red light and speeding cameras, people won't pass through intersections, so the back-up worsens. And, for those poor souls who slam on the brakes, but have oblivious drivers behind them, rear-end crashes will definitely increase. And that. too, will slow traffic to a crawl.
So, remind me how this is all so helpful to raffic flow, oh, and 'the children'. Or, could it just really be all about the revenue? Shocking.

Oh, so-called 'captain', we're not buying it. Been there, seen how it really plays out.
I'm sick of holding shoplifters. The stores should hold their own shoplifters or get extra large shopping bags to hold them. Every year those shoplifters get fatter and fatter and every year holding those porky sons-a-bitches gets tougher and tougher.
There has always been a small contingent of psycho-nut entitlement babies in 017 who wouldn't know real police work from a hole in the ground. Too bad they give the District a bad name with all the whining and drama. Historically, they have always trash-talked any boss that thinks they should show up for work and do a little something. Most of those who could transfer to antother District to get away from them did. In spite of what the small mean-spirited lazy contingent try to portray, there are alot of decent officers and supervisors in 017 who do a great job. They are the silent majority who don't get involved with the nonsense. The district is not a bad place to work at all. There are plenty of cops who would love the chance to transfer in. Maybe the poster who cant stand another day should ask to change with one of the many officers who are driving out to 03 or 05 from the northside every day. Somehow, I doubt it. So crybaby poster, please please please transfer out and make room for some deserving officers!
To Second City Cop. Why has there been no post on the Daley ruling.
He can be sued over the torture, and he has to give a deposition on the subject.
Rumors Rumors Rumors anyone? I heard a good one that made me laugh out loud the other day. Apparently the 1st Deputy made an ass out of himself at a meeting somewhere in the 19th district. I believe he remarked about COPS with nothing to do hanging out at Dunkin Doughnuts. The 1st Deputy did not appreciate the Dunkin Doughnuts coupon book that was sent to him through Department mail. I will be sure to forward all my future Dunkin coupons to him and hope you all join me as well. I think this butt hole need to show and say he is sorry for his dumb ass remarks

fooling anyone, just yourself. And for goodness sake, a group of shitheads fighting a half block away while you are sitting in your squad car IS NOT AN EMERGENCY! Zone 10 is too busy and too shorthanded for 010 to tie up the air with so much nonsense. Please keep it short. And could someone, anyone in 010 work north of Ogden.

i guess with the new station they have to go up to ogden. back a few years ago nobody would go north of cermak
It looks like Brown is going to have a hard time in Darien. Some of the alderman did not want him and probably will not make his life easier. Darien is a nice town with many great police officers. That said, I really do not see Brown's appointment as the peak of his career. Darien is a small town and a sleepy town and I do not think Brown will fit into the culture and politics of Darien. His term will only last as long as the mayor, maybe less.

The lady mayor of Darien has got to have relatives on our job. Why else would she do us this HUGE favor? This must be an elaborate plan to get DTEB out of our hair by giving him a job in Darien and then, as soon as he fucks up, HE GONE! Then both CPD and DPD are done with the asshole!
We should each send $5 to the lady mayor of Darien. It might add up to the area of about 25K. It is the least we can do for her as appreciation for putting this fool DTEB in our rear view mirrors.
And sharpen up your resumes! Darien might be looking for a new chief by this time next year! DTEB will not be able to stop petting the boo-tay and they will not put up with his nonesense like the clowns did here.
Oops!

That was much better....except for accusing us of being politically correct at the beginning of the post instead of leaving it alone - or admitting you're an anti-Semitic fascist asshat with a victim complex a mile wide who would have been more comfortable living in 1930's Germany.
Regardless, we aren't publishing any of your moonbat crap if we recognize it. We won't miss your daily visit.
"...Okay, call me an asshole..."
As you wish---You're an asshole.
That wasn't the same chick that tased her partner over the retail theft arrest was it?
A lot of stitches and pain for her partner.
