Police Assist Fire
A Northwest Side Fire Departmenty crew on a run this evening returned to find two men leaving their headquarters with a laptop, a department spokesman said.
Firefighters who had been out of their firehouse, 4911 W. Belmont Ave., on a run returned to find someone burglarizing the building about 9:30 p.m., said Fire Deparment spokesman Sean Flynn.
The firehouse's commanding officer called for police assistance and firefighters were able to hold two men--who had been trying to leave the firehouse, at least one carrying a laptop--until police arrived, according to the Fire Department.
We don't know....there sure is a lot of sharp, heavy equipment lying around a fire house. Brass nozzles, rolls of hoses, extinguishers. Why these two weren't carried out...

This is the way it should be....Police and Fire working together and helping each other. Screw the few odd balls on both sides who try to break that bond.
025 on point again!
You leave your house which happens to be in the City of SHIT-cago.
You leave the door open.
You get a rat or 2 that comes
in your house.
So why is this a surprise or
even a story worth printing?
I am counting the minutes
until I can retire and
leave this SHIT-HOLE.
Yep, they will be combining police and fire stations next. So we can watch their equipment while they sleep! Lol
I have plenty of friends who are firefighters. There is no rivalry between us and them, except for some friendly jokes. They all think the fire boss who battered PO is a fool and should be punished. Lets put this to rest all ready. We do our job when called and they do theirs when we call them.
Anita would love to put a CFD FF under her belt for HOMICIDE. I don't blame the FF's for "just doing" what they had to do. This is just another sign of how bad things are. 016 is literally across the street, the HOMELAND is done!
Good Job FF's!
Where's that CFD captain when you need him?
Really, is this worthy of being a story.
An eye for an eye justice?
The anger is turning into full on rage.

Chicago police say a man heaved chunks of concrete at a picture window at the 16th District police station in Jefferson Park about 8:45 p.m. Thursday.
Three officers were injured when they tried to arrest the 38-year-old man, Chicago Police News Affairs Hector Alfaro said.
Police said the man entered the lobby and said "If the government wrecked my place then I will wreck yours" before removing the concrete from under his jacket and throwing it at a window.
The man then hit one of the officers three times in the face, police said, and flailed his arms while trying to resist arrest.

What's up with all the crazies in the stations? Another one goes wilf but this time in 016 breaking the windows and fighting a PO. Its getting wild!
Hey, that's where Alderman Nick Sposato used to work when he was a fireman. A quality guy. I'll bet they try to re-district him out.
Off Topic
Some guy got locked up in 016 last night after walking into the desk, pulling out chunks of concrete and breaking the station windows. He was muttering about how the government ruined his life. He also fought with arresting desk officers and injured them. Charged accordingly.
FDNY helped out in new york when two po's got jumped by about 15 jagbags>nypost.com
What happened on the desk in 016 last night. Heard a crazy guy walked in with a brick and tryed braking out the windows, they fought the P.O.'s. Heard three P.O.'s went to the hospital.
Used to happen in the ghetto all the time.They even stole the food off of the stove. That is until the FF's caught 'em and called The Police.
As my Dad tells it, they caught dude and "2 Big Black plain clothes Detectives came in and brought them down to the basement coal bin."
End of "Theft from Building/Fire House".
Lots of firehouses are unsecured, city will not repair doors, locks. Also they will not upgrade anything for security. Sounds just like the CPD!
i heard something from a friend today. turns out the city wants to train officers how to be paramedics for the upcoming summit. no thanks, i'll pass. more the city trying to save money i see.
Yep, they will be combining police and fire stations next. So we can watch their equipment while they sleep! Lol

hilarious!
OT, I am just as sick of this department as the next p.o. This department is clearly not going in the direction that will benefit or better us. I can live with current contract, incentives, salary and even raggedy residency restriction. Now, they want to take incentives away while forcing us to live in this anti-police detroit-like ghetto. One could get so much more bang-for-their-buck elsewhere(lot size, better schools, lower taxes, etc.) I would encourage others to test at other departments at least out of crook county unless already invested too much in this department. Which brings me to my next question: could anyone tell me how my pension would carry over to another department in Illinois or out of Illinois? I have been hearing conflicting outcomes. Could anyone with more experience or knowledge pass along some useful information to me or point me in the right direction? Thanks
If only Altman was there to rough up these 2 asswipes it would of went a little smoother for them.

OFF TOPIC: Any truth to the story about yet another mental going off in a police lobby? (016) tried bashing shit up with chunks of concrete, fought officers, etc, etc?? Watch for the copycats folks. Molotov cocktails and automatic weapons to surely follow. People are crazier than theyve ever been, desperate and the holidays bring out the worst in looney cases. Yet the city will simply ignore the problem saying theres no money to fix it, yet theyll throw millions at pet projects to keep their cronies flush with cash.
DOCUMENT EVERYTHING HOUSE MICE. BE ABLE TO ARTICULATE EVERYTHING YOU TRIED TO DO TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY/WORK CONDITIONS OF YOUR INSECURE STATIONS (RIP THOR). AT LEAST YOUR FAMILY MAY BE ABLE TO REAP THE REWARDS OF A LAWSUIT WHEN YOURE ASSASSINATED AT YOUR DESK.
secure the police stations rhaminator. and secure the fire house.the way you secure the entrance to 35th. and city hall. silly rabbit tricks are for kids.
Big shake up at ERP's. Lt was selling stuff and taking stuff for his own gain. He is now at call back. IAD handling this one.

Who gives a shit , they should have let him go like they did to Capt. Altman. These two are fucked unless they are Bridgeport thiefs!

You think Belmont and Cicero is nice? You think Belmont and Cicero has been nice for the last 30 years? You need to get out of Norwood Park and Edison Park a little. All of 016 isn't the Mayberry you seem to think it is. Some of it is actual city.
We do our job when called and they do theirs when we call them.
Dont know where you work but where I work we do our job and WE also are forced to do their job....every job. nose bleed- fire request assist. stomach ache -fire request assist. high blood pressure-fire request assist.90 year old woman with chest pain- fire request assist

SCC. Sorry very off topic.How obsurd is this? The detectives in Area 3 were instructed to remove all documents, equipment,and personal items from any file cabinet on the floor. All file cabinets are to be removed to make room make for the influx of detectives from area 4 and 5!
No file cabinets. Just where are detectives supposed to store thier on going cases, at home, in their garages? ( Sorry sir, I'll have to look that info up for you, please give me a hour to drive home to my house and get the file.)
Perhaps since we are now a "paperless" department thanks to Huberman,they dont need file cabinets.

SCC, major scandal at ERPS. IAD locked up the LT in charge last night for stealing tons of shit out of there. How many other exempts were using it as a personal shopping mall? This one will be interesting.
It's crazy over at Unit 167. I was told that the Commanding Officer was removed and placed in call back. He would be destroying stuff or placing it in his pocket.
What's the deal with Lt. M. CO of ERPS getting picked up by IAD while leaving work yest? There is already a new Lt. at ERPS who has taken his place.
He was muttering about how the government ruined his life? Yep, sounds like a Liberal to me.

CPD isn't the only ERPS where evidence is walking away!
The only difference is that when this shit happens in the burbs it makes the news and isn't buried like in Chicago.
Prosecutor: Surveillance footage no help in solving case of heroin missing from evidence locker
Before three kilos of heroin were swiped from a Will County sheriff’s outdoor evidence storage container in October, someone parked a “food delivery truck” so it blocked a lone surveillance camera’s view of the container, a prosecutor said in court today.
The truck was parked there from the early evening until the next morning, assistant state’s attorney Michael Knick told a judge this morning, not specifying the date. Investigators who reviewed about 168 hours of surveillance video believe the drugs were stolen during that time, he said. The theft was discovered on Oct. 14.
The heroin is tied to a drug case against Jose Zamago-Pena, accused of transporting drugs for a Mexican cartel using a semi with California plates.
Zamago-Pena listened to a Spanish translator as Knick dropped his objection to releasing the surveillance footage to April Simmons, his public defender, during a hearing today. Judge Edward Burmila said he would order that the footage can only be viewed by Simmons and her investigator.
At the time the heroin was stolen, there were three video cameras at the Laraway Road facility, prosecutors said in a court filing. The drugs were stolen from “locker ten” while, police have said, the other containers were left untouched.
Burmila has not yet ruled on whether the drug case can proceed without the stolen drugs. Knick said in court Friday that the case can survive, in part because the heroin had already been weighed and tested at a state crime lab. Legal experts previously told the Tribune that the case would be in trouble without the stolen narcotics.
The investigation into the stolen drugs is now being handled by Illinois State police. The Tribune has previously reported that the daughter of Sheriff Paul Kaupas, an evidence coordinator, was the one who moved the heroin into the container in April. Kaupas has said she had nothing to do with the theft.
Evidence like heroin was supposed to be kept in a secured area inside the Laraway Road substation, police have said.
O.T. Anyone know what happened to convicted Sergeant John Herman? I know the Appelate Court reversed his conviction but he was still locked up pending the States Attorneys decision to appeal further. He is no longer in IDOC custody. Anyone know what happened?

Not hard when its handed to you!
Do tell, what happened in the lobby of 016?
Some nutjob starting bragging that football players are tougher than rugby players. The nutjob then pulled his rocks out of his pants and threw them at the 16th District windows. The desk crew with the assistance of a CFD Captain arrested the nutjob. Three POs hurt. Some Lt then listed the rocks on eBay. IADs looking into the incident.
"Why these two weren't carried out..."
They were pencil-necked geeks, whom one Chicago fireman probably could have frog-marched outside with one hand to spare to eat an ice cream bar.
CFD is all-pro and tired of this s__t, didn't wanna tie an ambulance down, waste ER space needed for sick people, spend taxpayer money stapling these a__holes' heads back together, hose a mess off their station floor, etc.
Sit on their ass until helpful policemen come to take them away. No muss, no fuss.
Hey c'mon. That Kehoe guy is ok...

Not suprised at all. Just like merit promotions, some are entitled to get what they want despite fairness. I remarked about the long standing practice of FOP unit reps monitoring their units furlough selection process..and was mocked & ridiculed as being paranoid! This "clerical" error doesn't suprise me at all. Some Coppers just drink (correction) GUZZLE the Kool-aide and trust management 100% to have their backs! BIG MISTAKE!!!

Your pension will carry over as long as you work for another police agency in the state of Illinois. Your pension will not carry over if you go to another state. If you have less than 10 years on the job then in that case all of your pension money you put in would be refunded back to you. Go to our pension fund's website (Police Benefit and Annuity Fund) and read through the material. Or you can call them and ask your questions.

That might take away from some of the MANY entitlements, so why bother?

That is EXACTLY what Rahm and his evil cabal is trying to do. They do not want someone who stands up for the rights of First Responders to be an Alderman.
You will not hear about this in the Rahm controlled news.

Sorry, but that's complete B.S. Fire only requests assistance on certain runs per protocol .... i.e. gunshots, stabbings, batteries, psyches, accidents, or runs at a CHA bldg. If you have to go on a b.s. assist then: a) the cpd calltaker booked it and sent it to the zone(which they do all too often) and the zone didn't call fire dispatch to see if you're actually needed; OR b) something's going on other than a nosebleed etc, like maybe a domestic in progress. Get a fucking grip before you spout off bullshit like that.
