No PAX 501?
Someone in the comment section posted this:
- 28 Years of service and this is the first time in my career NO Pax 501 Holiday Message.
That just screams low-class. Anyone see any sort of holiday greetings from the command staff? Yeah, us either.

Obama hates those messages!
Shalom.
Dude, they don't give a rats ass about you. What have you done for me latley?
I noticed 2 weeks ago on a Saturday and Sunday the department FORGOT to place the Daily Bulletin online.
When it finally came back on line they had a shitload of deaths that they missed.
REAL NICE.
Actions speak volumes.
JerseyShore was probably giving his Christmas cheer to his pal, phather phleger.
Considering there isn't one gold star id piss on if they were on fire, I don't really care.
Squad I got the message, the bosses are too busy to give a shit about there workers. Talk about scrooge!
Where is Emily Post to teach them some edict.
Well they forgot about me, I forgot about them.
If I forget something I'll take a day.
Maybe he's too busy back East, trying to salvage his marriage?
This is what happens when there's no collective memory. Bring in an outsider, who doesn't know our traditions, and this is the result.
I want my daily bulletin on paper. I want to know who died, where the wake is, who's having a fundraiser... I want it in my hand at roll call. And I want my Pax/Fax 501, stupid though it may be.
I was shocked.
This is disgraceful and speaks volumes of how we are thought of right now, even by our own Department.
Even J-Fed wouldn't have made this mistake.
I just said the same thing. What a prick
Thanks for nothing
And, Area Chiefs, Chief of Patrol, not going to retirement party's for the Districts. Welcome to the new age of 'Go Fuck Yourself.' Just so the reitred PO's get the perspective, the Exempts are invisible in social events like these. Yeah..it's this bad now...
PAX 501 - December 25, 2011
On this, the holiest of holidays, I just wanted to take a moment to express my wishes for each and every department member -
Have a Merry Friggin' Christmas!
Hows that? That work for you, huh? Yeah, it better, you bunch of Rugby playin pussies 'cause that's how we do it in NY! Now shut the f&#k up and get your shine boxes before I give you a slap!
Where's Bea wit my goddamn beer?
Sincerely, Da Supe
They don't do that in New York so we no longer do it here.
This guy does not give a shit about you so why would one expect him to say Happy Holidays
The only thing I can say is it you want respect you need to show respect. Someone has failed at this big time.
Anybody see the Grinch hanging around 35th & Michigan? Could be the culprit.
Capt LC from 018 brought xmas dinner to the station for the third watch. The man is a class act and a perfect gentleman. Thank you sir.
I'll tell ya I got more than 5, less than 10 on. I love my job and most of the people I work with. That being said, I can't wait to get the hell out of this city, county, state. I know the grass is alwasy greener but I can't imagine anywhere else being as fucked up as this place. In my short time on the job I'm disgusted by how the department has turned to shit. And when I talk to older coppers with at least 20 on, I realize I will never get the privledge of knowing what it was like to be the "real police." Goddamn liberals!
This administration, under Rahm and McPuppet, doesn't even care to give the illusion that they give a shit about us.
Very telling indeed.
The bosses were too busy figuring out how they re going to screw us over next so I ll write it for them. First let me start by saying what a true honor it is to serve as the leader of the finest police dept in the whole wide world. 2011 was a very challenging year, J fed was relieved of his duties as supt and just when u guys thought it couldn't get any worse I came in and fucked shit up even more then he did. Still with all the challenges u guys were confronted with we as a dept were still able to decrease crime for the 6th year in a roll. That had absolutely nothing to with me because crime
Has dropped consistently no matter who the supt was. That can only mean one thing and that is u officers on the street must be doing a great job. U fine officers have a happy holiday season and enjoy the very few hours with your families as I well be sitting at home trying to come up with other ways to make yours jobs even more challenging for next year.
this could be a good thing--- why do you want well wishes from a booze hound dumber than a box of rocks boss---
Boo-fucking-hoo. I was blissful in my ignorance. Now, my holidays are ruined. Pass me another Guiness. Thanks.
Your looking at it all wrong, the fact their wasn't a 501 was our gift. We were not subjected to mindless rants, false statements and obvious insincere well wishes.
The sup's. Not here to make friends, he is doing what he is told to do and then moving on. The support staff on the fifth floor is who dropped the ball. But they have their hands full trying to ensure they won't be dumped back to ...God forbid, patrol.......they check the blog everyday and the sups blog.
Geez,that melon head J-Fled did the holiday message to the CPD every holiday for 3 yrs. What do ya expect out of an low class big talking arrogant sociopathic drunk? Me? Not much.. McCarthy is just another jizz gargling goof that we will have to put up with until Rahm fires him.
The same person that mentioned no Pax 501, would be on this blog screaming that it's a buch of Bulls%$@, if the Superintendent put one out!
I can remember one year back in the late 60's that Supt. Conlisk got on the AIR on Christmas Eve and wished everyone a Merry Merry Christmas . He wasn't the best Super but he sure was better then this JERK you guys have now .
Who gives a rats ass. In a nutshell for ya: I'm proud to be a part of the finest law enforcement organizations in the world. Don't drink and drive or I'll fire you. Happy holidaze.
Oops... I guess the 1% at the top forgot all about the 99% of us. Occupy 35th Street!
Think it's screwed up now? Wait 'til after 1 January.
And this suprises you. This department is so messed up I dont know where to begin.
Comstat has these bosses so terrified that they will do anything not to have to write a report and send it downtown.
What a crock of shit. Bandaid the hell put of everything so you dont have to answer to the comstadt twins. Then
Iie to make it look better. Why not say the truth and fix the problem. But no we cant do that. Te constat twins are making it look like they are saving the department because nobody will say it like it is when the comstat twins drill and grill them. If thats what being a success on this job is id rather be a lowly Blue shirt as I already am. Be safe and go home healthy!
Rahm must have mcjersey on a very short leash. He has been very quiet. Almost as if we do not have a supernintendo.
no meaningless christmas message? low class? are you kidding?
NO DOUGHNUT FOR YOU
BUT HELP ME OUT AT G*ATE please
I gots ur back 4shure
Luvs ya Jersey
Too busy doctoring CompStats for the year end celebration.
Rahm will be pleased.
Bugger off Scrooge.
No vacancy announcement on transfer bid day either.
I sort of got a holiday message from one. I was walking through the station and said "Merry Christmas Boss!". His reply was something like "Humbug. Get your ass on the street".
Does that count? At least he talked to me.
This just shows the classless people we're dealing with, who really dislike the police. We are a necessary evil to them.
The real issue is, to keep the heat up protecting our benefits and especially making sure the city is currently meeting their responsibility in meeting the pension fund obligation.
McGoof, JFled , Balerino,Daley ,Madigan,Cullerton Burke
Truely an Evil Cabal!
That's because he is from New York! He is CLUELESS!
It's the first time in the history of the dept that there was no holiday Message of some sort.
I always had to work Xmas eve and Xmas day for the longest time.
But I never felt alone because the last superintendents always seems to appreciate us and understood that it sucks working those days.
Exempt staff are full of uncaring pieces of shit! They couldn't lead their way out of an open building!
Yeah, keep working for these fools!
The Exempts will throw any P.O. under the bus for a lump of coal!
Da Pelon
The Supt. Mccarthy is busy getting into drunken fights at Christmas parties!
This guy is a real Bozo!
So wadda aboutit? Yo, you wanna make something of it?
No 501 cause McJackass has been in NY for 2 weeks....
Nice Rahm, how can he run a Police Dept. from the East Coast??
I personally don't give a flying fuck. Let's be real have any of us ever believed they were really wishing us a happy holiday season anyway? Why fake it? Save the paper, that's fine with me
There was a streaming video, but that's it. This guy is an arrogant prick who could care less about you or me.
Anyone see any sort of holiday greetings from the command staff?
What are you talking about? I got mine Christmas morning when right after roll call my watch commander yelled at me for wearing a tie with cargo pants and then told me that my activity was down.
Merry fricking Christmas.
command staff care? lol! boys and girls the sooner you realize they dont care the better. if u work where the animal lives the strongest survive. protect homefront west end of 8 22 16. that is all that counts.
No, but now that you called Garry out on it, he'll be sure to throw one together last minute so as not to look like the stroke that we all know he is
WHo cares they don't. Our ship sank along time ago.
He does not understand the CPD culture. My bet is that when the city burn during G8 NATO, ladies and gents, we have a scapegoat.
There is no one left with any experiance who remembers these things.
Same thing at the district Christmas parties. List of retired guys are lost and they are not invited to the parties.
So much for pride and tradition
Didn't see one either, but they way things are now with the constant attack on morale it doesn't suprise me. It'sreally become a me me me department now.
McWeis is too busy turning CPD into Brooklyn West.
Let me ask you this, and be honest, does it really matter? Does it, in the grand scheme of things, make a difference to you? Really, does it effect the way you will go out and do your job? If so, and your honest, then ok, I feel badly for you - but for me, it does not ming a damn thing.
I understand the whole tradition of it, I do, I get it. That crap though, really, does it mean anything? Does it REALLY improve morale? If so, i question those who feel inspired by it. Same thing when I was in the Military, I got a coin from the Command Sergeant major, or from the general of the base, and all of a sudden I was supposed to feel better? Miss my family less? Be inspired by this "good guy" who "knows" what it is like to be a lowly PO/troop? Come on, that is pure BS.
Same thing here. This is BS, this just seems like another reason for people to bitch about this guy - and really, do we need anything more? The guy is a TYPICAL New York/East Coast type, the my crap does not stink attitude, matched up with his Napoleon complex because he is under 6 foot tall.
There are plenty of reasons to hate the guy - because he did not write us an awe inspiring motivational message for the holidays is not one of them. My Christmas was just fine, I spent it with my kids and family, the people who truly care for me and who I work and doing everything for, and we had a great day and time. Even without Gerry commenting on it.
Just my two cents....Hope you enjoy your Kwanza and have a safe New year. Even if Gerry writes about it or not.
remember all the captains/xo's and exempt are political appointed and could care less about the rest of cpd
Merry Christmas. The grinch stole our morale...
Truly hoping there was some sort of administrative glitch so that the message accidentally didn't get sent for some reason or another. Wishful thinking, I know, for this crack pot administration running the show. Hopefully this goof didn't just blow it off. Did none of the countless individuals who have their noses securely implanted up this guy's rectum not give him some sort of 'heads up' on this??
Signed,
One star, three bars
Cut the guy some slack would ya? Maybe he was out boozing it on Rush Street the night before and just forgot...
I got a few Christmas emails from a couple of bosses, but it doesn't surprise me that McGoofy didn't put out a PAX 501. He’s the kind of boss that thinks he rules by fear. He'll holler, rant and make demands like he's some sort of emperor, but in reality he's just another goof that no one respects. Bosses like him are a joke, and everyone acts like they're all yes sir, yes sir, but in reality most of them walk away saying he’s just a jagoff... which he is. I’m a Lt and I don't lead with an iron fist. That gets you nothing and is such a poor management choice. We're all the same--- we all have a job to do and want certain things from our careers, we are responsible for each other and all need to focus on going home safely; both physically and financially, I just make a little more money doing it. We'd do much better when we work together rather than working top down. He believes he's a know-it-all, when in fact it clearly shows that his law enforcement knowledge and strategies are few and ineffective, and the only way he can even begin to function is to try and change this department into the NYPD, because that’s all he knows. If it functions differently, he can't figure it out. He can't understand our command structure or our bureaus and districts, so in order to try and get a clue, he wants to change everything. Well, that too is destined for failure, even if the rank and file even tries to go along with it. We’ll have to make a separate thread for our honest and factual opinions of McNitwit, but for now, I didn’t miss the PAX 501 because the last thing I want to hear is the bullshit he spews and the political puppetry he functions from. Ok, we all know he's a jag, but the absence of a PAX 501 just shows his respect for us... NONE. But- it's the same back, and I'll bet we respect him a lot less the he could ever disrespect us.
Personally, I never cared about the 501 PAX message. My family is a better Holiday greeting, than a message from a guy that I never see anyway!
just our commander. nothing from dwntwn.....Dont think they celebrate Christmas in NY..
It is funny because we would like it based on tradition, but most of us could give a flying fuck about the "command" staff.
Thank God Madigan and Cullerton got that muti-million $$$ package for Sears. Wow...Just in time. Now we find out today that Sears will be closing 100 Sears and KMart stores. Do you think those two low life coniving bastards knew about this all along? You can bet your pension on it. Well...maybe not your pension. That may not be around long. No wonder this state is broke. Handing out untold millions to these corporations to bribe them to stay in our state. Corporations and Banks in this country are sitting on $$TRILLIONS waiting for the economic dust to settle so they can use their ill gotten gains to fuck us some more. If they want to leave that bad let them fucking go. Sears will fold some time this year. Nice to know the Santa Twins in Springfield got their Christmas present from us taxpayers. What did you get for Christmas? These two little deranged pricks didn't even buy us dinner before they fucked us again.
Budget cuts.
Holiday messages just couldn't be issued this year.
Did you notice a few weeks ago there was no daily Bulletin for two days?
We're cutting back. On everything.
Come on, get a life. There are alot of more important issues than if a 501 is sent out with a holiday greeting, what from the command staff who probably didnt even know it was sent out
Money is short, times are hard, here's your fuckin' Christmas card! Enjoy your retro check.
Who cares. Look who and what your dealing with. Stay safe
Who Cares?
the only message that i received during the holidays was over the air on zone 12.....and i am assuming other zones also. It was from the chaplains unit....which reminded the officers on the street that "they were praying for us".....and i felt grateful for it.
thanks , and God bless the street coppers of the CPD
Hey, hey! Hold on there! The president is a communist who doesn't allow Christian themes on the White House Christmas tree, the mayor is a communist of the Jewish faith and you all want a Christmas greeting from McDrunk? Come on now. What did you expect?
Now don't forget to keep voting for the communists, I mean progressives, I mean democrats.
Oh, that's right. You can't be bothered to vote. Just like in the last election.
Here is my own PAX 501: Ready........"FUCK YOU MCGRUFF"!
Who cares, America is ending, and so is the CPD..
Was in NY for the holidays, must have forgot.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing McJersey could possible say that could be of any interest to me or my fellow officers.
Except perhaps, I'm sorry and I am going back to N.Y.C.
Last year 2 of the command staff sent emails Jackson and Weiss. This year NONE.....they really don't care about the real workers...they are all about ME. Further in the business world like so many of the command staff love to say there running the department like a business the bosses always send Holiday Greetings.
This is not Low-Class it is NO-CLASS
There will be one out for New Years now and you can bank on that. He will try to cover his ass now.
.....I can remember one year back in the late 60's that Supt. Conlisk got on the AIR on Christmas Eve and wished everyone a Merry Merry Christmas . He wasn't the best Super but he sure was better then this JERK you guys have now.....
Too bad it did not rub off on his son, J.Conlisk Jr.!
Just ruined my whole Christmas!

OK Jersy, or his internet looker........
The issue is not that we don't need a message to do our job. The issue is one more thing they take away, and their who cares about you attitude.
To those who say who cares!
I say whats next, and how low will they go!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2078702/Oxford-Street-stabbing-Seydou-Diarrassouba-18-killed-Boxing-Day-sales-pictured.html
Ghetto ass.....London?? Huh?
He's too bad getting into fistfights with the real police over who's tougher:
Hypothetical rugby guy or Hypothetical NFL guy!
Too many want love from this department.
This department does not love you. It didn't love you when it sent holiday greetings, it doesn't love you now.
You do what it wants and it gives you money. It gives you money even if you don't do what it wants.
It does not care what arrests you make. It does not care if you are brave. It does not care if you are hurt. It does not care if you are killed.
You are here now. At some point, you will be gone and replaced.
The supervisors don't care any more about you than you care about them. The supervisors care about themselves. At some point, they will also be gone and replaced.
No one will remember you when you are gone. No one will miss you. No one will talk about your adventures. They will talk about their own, just like you do now.
You time here only counts toward pension payments, nothing more. It was not better before, it is not worse now, it will not be better or worse in the future. It is the same now as it has always been and as it always will be. Only your perception has changed.
The department never backed you before, it never cared about you before, it doesn't care about you now, it will not care about you in the future. You are employee number XYZ. When your time is complete you will be excused and someone else will take your place. They will say the same things you said when you started, they will say the same things you say when you are finished.
This is what you signed up for. If you thought it was something else then you are a fool.
I could care f*cking less if any boss from anywhere in the police dept. wishes me a happy or a merry anything.
If you actually do stuff at work for a gold star you are a tool. If you haven't figured out how to make this job work for you and do things that benefit you I fell sorry for ya. No matter who the commander is I will be doing the same thing today that im doing tomorrow.
There was a streaming video--its now on you tube under McGoofy someone streamlined it over a smart phone.
Very Low class
And, Area Chiefs, Chief of Patrol, not going to retirement party's for the Districts. Welcome to the new age of 'Go Fuck Yourself.' Just so the reitred PO's get the perspective, the Exempts are invisible in social events like these. Yeah..it's this bad now...
Guilliford came to ours in 008
Capt LC from 018 brought xmas dinner to the station for the third watch. The man is a class act and a perfect gentleman. Thank you sir.
12/27/2011 02:34:00 AM
Our Sgt. in 008 catered food in for us on Xmas eve...
Don't know if they do it or not, but all front office staff should print and post copies of the daily bulletin each morning for the unit members viewing pleasure.
It takes more time for every cop to go sit down and try to pull the bulletin up on the computer, especially when most computers aren't working properly or are very very slow.
Number one, McSnooky is an asshole.
Number two, why do you care whether an asshole sends out a holiday message???
Number three, the 1st and the 16th.
End of lesson.
heh, look at em all and their little holiday trees exchanging gifts with their hard earned money.
Roti sent a holiday greeting and a thank you to OCD
That just screams low-class. Anyone see any sort of holiday greetings from the command staff? Yeah, us either.
-----
McStupe has been low-class his whole life. He's been classless since he's gotten here. Nobody needs to scream anything.
I'd rather he not put out any holiday greeting at all--because whatever he would communicate would be insincere and total b.s.
Who cares. Know what makes me happy??? Christmas cookies and eggnog. Wrapping presents. Seeing family. Awkward family photos.
Fuck the command staff and their Pax 501. I wouldn't even use it for toilet paper.
Now go get me another cookie Junior!
remember all the captains/xo's and exempt are political appointed and could care less about the rest of cpd
12/27/2011 10:12:00 AM

The minute you generalize and say 'all', you've lost my interest.
014 has a captain who does, indeed, care, Marc Buslik. One of the few I've worked for who gets it.
They don't have PAX 501 in NYPD and dammit, they don't need them here!
PAX 501
Rugby rules you football carrying apes!
I can remember seeing Matt Rodriguez, Phil Cline, and Terry Hilliard at Christmas Eve Roll Calls. Recently Ive seen Dugan, Williams and Cuello. Were any bosses observed in any Districts this year? I'd like to hear the names just to keep them in mind for future considerations

you have THIRTY FIVE YEARS on the job... really? You really give two shits what a 501 does or doesn't say? with that amount of time you should be on a boat catching bass somewhere warm. Just sayin.... I have a whopping 12 years and don't care AT ALL. The day I turn 50 I will crack a beer on the way out of hq parking lot and head for the beach...
That is what happens when someone with no class is in charge. That is how much he cares about you and me!
Anybody remember the Leroy martin all call christmas special?
That's okay.
I could care less about anyone of the command staff.
What I did notice absent this year was there was no food drive thru the Chaplain's unit.
Get use to it, the new regime does not care about you. Any and all changes are not based on what is best for the department but rather what will boost the outsider's career and save the outsider's boss money. All decisions are self motivated. This is simply an experiment and if all goes according to the New York plan it will bode well on a resume. Rarely will you see the Chiefs interacting in the field, they do not want to discuss or defend the mandated plans and more likely do not want to hear the backlash. Haven't seen the Detective Division leadership out in the Areas in quite some time, not with the huge changes coming. It's just as well there was no PAX 501 out for the Holiday. Better to know the truth rather than getting smoke blown up your ass. Be safe and look out for each other.
I believe he posted a message on his blog https://portal.chicagopolice.org/portal/page/portal/Blog%20501%20Dashboard
Cutting back on everything except expensive dinners at the John Hancock center top floor for Gary McCarthy, Gary Shenkil, kirby, three secret service agents and of course McCarthys driver last week. These dummies needed 3 uniformed police to watch their cars while they dined for 2 hours. Find legal parking next time Mr McCarthy or better yet get your driver to watch the fuckin cars and maybe you won't attract so much attention.
FYI, the new patrol orders are out regarding Executive officers and Station Supervisors etc... They are effective 3 Jan. 2012. Despite all the initial beefing, it seems things will pretty much be the same. Expect Command changes by then as Street Deputies are needed to handle the police shootings. Look for some heads to roll.
There is a streaming video of McNutty giving a holiday message.
28 Years of service and this is the first time in my career NO Pax 501 Holiday Message.
12/26/2011 12:17:00 PM
-----------------
Yup, you are correct sir.
Some of the bosses at headquarters brought this up last week. It was looked up and confirmed that in the history of the Chicago police dept a holiday message has never not been sent out in one way shape or form, not just talking pax 501
Welcome to the new police dept.
FUCK YOU TOO Mcjersey
The video replaced the [waste of] paper special daily bulletin. Frankly it makes more sense. Relax, your commander should have put their own message in the CO book. Many did.
SCC Is Better Than Any Holiday PAX 501
The following "tease" appears on the last page (p. 216: "Next Month") of the current January-February issue of Playboy magazine:
"STREET CRIME: Jerry Finnigan was a decorated undercover cop in Chicago. Then, in 2006, prosecutors charged him with taking part in a crime spree involving hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen drug money. What happened? Finnigan opens up to Hillel Levin, describing the anything-goes culture of law enforcement in the Second City."
I can remember one year back in the late 60's that Supt. Conlisk got on the AIR on Christmas Eve and wished everyone a Merry Merry Christmas . He wasn't the best Super but he sure was better then this JERK you guys have now .
12/27/2011 06:16:00 AM
So did Terry Hillard. He wished every watch a good and safe holiday over the air and he a,so reminded us to look out for those officers who might be depressed during the holidays and help them or refer them to EAP. Say what you want about him but that was classy and kind.
Really? That's the problem? No pax501? Which one of you has ever read one to the end? Grimme a break.
The Pax 501 by itself does not inspire confidence or boost Morale.
The LACK of a Pax 501, however...
Not just the Supt but what about our First Deputy? Isn't he supposed to care about the troops?
I hate dogs medical and iod abusers. Send that out on the pax. Also I hate people that have to justify why they are on the medical when they can pick kids up at school work out go to bars and drink go on vacations. They can do it all but can't show up to work. What a life. But hey maybe I am the idiot who isn't taking advantage of the system.
Same as the crime stats NONE
That's fine that we didn't get a holiday greeting. Maybe the Superintendent was busy. Our Commander bought dinner for all watches at the airport. Thanks Boss!
Hey 2:34 on 27Dec11-
Lt. Dean Stone used to do the same thing when he got to 013. Put on a tremendous spread, most of it cooked at his own home almost every holiday.. He even arranged for a new stove for the lockup. Look what it got him. Those 180 posts you see on the thread devoted to him are the same people that he used to feed on holidays. Just sayin
Re: March Playboy magazine article
Jerome A. Finnigan, #19755-424, is currently incarcerated at FCI Coleman, Florida, about an hour drive northwest of Orlando. Tentative release date: February 21, 2018.
Rot you piece of shit!
The new XO order is out!
Holiday Greetings from McPuppet. There is a new Department Special Order completely screwing over the supervisory ranks of the department.
GFU, the 5th floor.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year
From: Rahm, McPuppet and your Illinois General Assembly.
What you can expect in the New Year from us is to initiate a full out assault on you contractual benefits and pensions in 2012!!!

We get our Daily Bulletin just about every night, the W.C. prints it himself. Sometime the back page is a list of Wanted Vehicles or handwritten notes of things from the previous watches.
Stay safe, someone has to care enough at your district or unit to print them out. If you want one for yourself you can do it.
We hate him, he couldn't care less about us. Do we really give a shit about a phony message that pretends to have some holiday cheer.

That's because there are no vacancies.

I hear they're thinking of changing the national anthem to AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."

I've worked for more asshole bosses in my 70 years on this earth than I care to recall. With the exception of two bosses, the rest of them were hell to work for, and going to work each day was a nightmare. Today's workplace is just that...you go to work and you receive a paycheck. The workplace is a business, and if you keep this in mind, you won't expect true friendship, decent bosses, or peace on earth good will toward men from your boss and/or co-worker..but if it does come your way, you are fortunate.
The city of Chicago (and many other cities) and the Chicago Police Dept. are under socialist/communist "new management." It is a grim realization, but a factual one. It is for each man and woman to determine how they will handle their business as it pertains to the workplace. Politically, you can start by selecting a conservative candidate in the Primary in the spring, and voting for that conservative in the November presidential election. Destroy the head of the snake that is oboma and the body of his minions will wither and die as well. The fight to retrieve this country from the grasp of the socialist/communist grip of a oboma will be the biggest fight of our lives...the alternative is the loss of the Constitution, our freedoms, liberties, our religious beliefs..think about how life is lived in Cuba, China, Venezuela, North Korea...
Hold fast to your family, your true friends and your belief in God. Stay safe and work together with like minded people to remove the corrupt, immoral anti-American element that is destroying America at every level. Change for good takes one step at a time....make that first step, and may God bless you all.

It goes to show you Garry McCarthy has no class, that's all but it speaks volumes. He thinks it doesn't matter if he sends a Holiday message but it shows he doesn't care about the working Police in the field...
Sorry Sir, I'm not one to bash on the blog but I just lost any respect I had for your authority.

And, Area Chiefs, Chief of Patrol, not going to retirement party's for the Districts. Welcome to the new age of 'Go Fuck Yourself.' Just so the reitred PO's get the perspective, the Exempts are invisible in social events like these. Yeah..it's this bad now...

I think at the Lt./Sgt. MGT. training over at the Academy they teach/preach...
-don't associate with the "help"
-careful who you trust they'll fuck you so fuck them first
-the same people you befriend are the same ones that will ruin your career in the end!
-where there is smoke there is a forest fire/raging inferno always....never just a bit of smoke nor a campfire...but HELL follows each Officer with a problem!
-keep your enemies closer and keep no friends on this job close
-fuck the "help" but use no lube just a pen
-Rule 14 is worse than "Thou shall not kill" as far as anything written down ever goes...
-Never Lead by example because you should just supervise! This way if they fuck up, no worries because they can't blame you and though you will gain no respect from the men and women since you are a non-leader just a supervisor, you will be safe from the fear of not being promoted since you never fucked up by making any real decisions or getting involved to help the "help"!
-Never address the men just the women its safer on the scale of things
-Always be right!
It's official ... BIG command changes coming on Friday, 30 December. They want the new command staff in place by 03 January. Look for some surprise moves.
I have a whopping 12 years and don't care AT ALL. The day I turn 50 I will crack a beer on the way out of hq parking lot and head for the beach...

Amen and thank you. Your post should be the first one on every page. A quick reminder of what's really at stake. Not cynical or vitriolic but completely real. Good Job.
Same "Roti" that shipped "Officer Rugby" to the First Watch in the Fightin' 003rd?
class.
We get our Daily Bulletin just about every night, the W.C. prints it himself. Sometime the back page is a list of Wanted Vehicles or handwritten notes of things from the previous watches.
Stay safe, someone has to care enough at your district or unit to print them out. If you want one for yourself you can do it.
12/27/2011 11:23:00 PM
Read your post and was impressed that there is a W/C who takes an extra step and tries to keep his crew in the loop. Maybe there is hope down the road for CPD after McFLED has returned to Joy-Zee.
Hey 2:34 on 27Dec11-
Lt. Dean Stone used to do the same thing when he got to 013. Put on a tremendous spread, most of it cooked at his own home almost every holiday.. He even arranged for a new stove for the lockup. Look what it got him. Those 180 posts you see on the thread devoted to him are the same people that he used to feed on holidays. Just sayin
If that jagoff made dinner every night for a year he still would be the biggest asshole I ever worked with

From someone who used to work with him. Those swings are a sign of a serious problem. Anyone who works with him now should advise him to get some professonal help before he gets himself or someone else really hurt.
Don't know if they do it or not, but all front office staff should print and post copies of the daily bulletin each morning for the unit members viewing pleasure.
It takes more time for every cop to go sit down and try to pull the bulletin up on the computer, especially when most computers aren't working properly or are very very slow.
12/27/2011 03:26:00 PM
Or maybe you can pull it up and make several copies so everyone doesn't have to do it individually. Take a little initiative and stop telling others to do it. If you want one that bad do it yourself. It takes 2 minutes.
There will be one out for New Years now and you can bank on that. He will try to cover his ass now.

Yea the one that says drinking off duty is against the rules of this department. If you are caught you will be fired. Happy New Year,

NOBODY IS BACKING YOU UP! THEY WILL THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS, and there is no manpower to 'literally' back you up in the districts.
Wake up already. Answer calls, write paper, back each other up.

Jeez here we go again with the nastys. What is meant is the front office and inside people are to be a support staff to the street people. Which means try and help the street people's job a little easier. My god you newbies are quick to retort.
Why do you think the new area chiefs and chief of patrol don't attend the retirement parties, because as we all know its a new dept. The days of bosses we showed respect to are gone and this is one reason why. They don't care, so many feel why should we. It's a shame but reality. The good bosses never missed an opportunity to show honor to the troops that worked hard for them. Yet they expect you to be at their promotion party.
To the person that had to write 5 paragraphs on, " does it matter" , ghost of kwanza.
I'll answer you in a sentence, yes it does matter, its called class, similar to writing a thank you card.
You know what those are?

It's also not like the "Old Days". They are very scared of being around any cops who are drinking. If a cop who attends a party gets into a DUI accident and a ranking chief was at that same party there will be a lot of shit if the media gets hold of it.
Sorry, but that is the truth.
There you have it....what they've turned us into.

The city made me lazy.
I'm only a criminal because of racism.

You, sir, have much more in common with this city's "people" than you think you do.

Spoken like a true loser. 'They turned me into a quitter". A pathetic excuse, my friend.
Is that what your co-workers see sitting next to them at roll call? you bet it is.
Give McOtis a break he was busy,do you know how hard it is to shoot out all of those little christmas lights when you are shitfaced

Sorry I'm not a newbie or hairgel or whatever you call the young guys. I have over 20 years on and work the street in a beat car in the ghetto. (and no I'm not looking for an pat on the back) Do you help the inside people out with their inside jobs? No, didn't think so. The point is if you want a daily bulletin print one up. Years ago there were stacks of them printed up sitting on the desk. Most were never used or sitting on the floor of the squad car, under the seat, or on the shithouse floor. You can still be the police without a daily bulletin and if you want some info from one go on-line and print one. And sorry when I came on we didn't have computers to even look up any info. Signed KMA counting the "days" left until retirement. Do me a favor though, when you print one up after jan 16th 2012 can you sent it to me in Arizona where I will be residing!!!
This is what you signed up for. If you thought it was something else then you are a fool.

OK. THAT was hilarious. Post of the year and my new favorite nickname. Short and sweet. thanks for the laugh.

What drivel. Unless the boss is POURING the drinks PERSONALLY, he has no responsibility.
You sound like some kind of wuss.
Bosses don't go to the parties they should be at because they are all clout-babies, who didn't come up through the ranks and don't know or care about tradition and responsibility. And there's nobody left to teach them how it should be done.
McOtis says thanks im glad someone gets me!
"Wilding" could get out of control this summer. Groups are organizing better now along with awareness of its potential profitability. Southside and westside gangs are now trying to cash in: Gangs will give out text lists of items they want to the mobs brass and the mobs will hit the store. Could see a "wilding" put on the apple store(s) and a number of other locations other than the Mag mile this summer. It's pretty dangerous for organized street gangs to have this as one of their arms for crime.
As an aside- Overheard conversation on blueline (between Irving park and rosemont)-
Thug1- nice up here bro. Lotta people with phones bags and shit.
Thug2- most going to ohare flyin out.
Thug1- pretty empty some these carts
This trash comes this far north and I'm going to start shooting.
