007, 011 in the Crosshairs
The commander of Chicago’s crime-ridden Englewood police district was kicked upstairs Monday — and replaced by respected gang enforcement commander Leo Schmitz — as part of a larger plan to stop the bleeding by targeting gangs and drug markets in the two most violent districts.
Together, the Englewood and Harrison districts accounted for 25 percent of the murders and shootings last year and one-third of those incidents during the first two weeks of January.
Police Supt. Garry McCarthy’s decision to replace Anthony Carothers as Englewood District commander comes as no surprise.
The only surprise was it took so long. Lord only knows what secrets Ike is keeping in the federal pokey. And now suddenly, Deputy Chiefs have XO's for their offices? Seriously? We thought McCarthy was streamlining the upper echelon?
- The laser-like focus will include: 48 gang enforcement officers, 24 in each of the two districts; 64 narcotics officers, 32 in each district; 96 patrol officers in the Harrison District currently assigned to the area and other district assignments and 70 patrol officers in the Englewood District.

As soon as Leo found out!
I have to give McCarthy Kudos, he had the balls to put a white commander in 007. That shit hasn't been done in decades.
Maybe it's just me but Rogers Park and Lakeview area seems to be getting lit up more then usual lately.
Guess the citizens will just have to shelter in place up there and be s.o.l.
Oh and watch yourselves. As half the cities mental health clinics get shut down expect to see the results of the so-called $3 million dollar savings.
File it under: penny wise and dollar foolish.
and replaced by respected gang enforcement commander Leo Schmitz —

Yes, and no one respects him more than himself. Leo is and always has been a shameless self promoter who took credit for things he had nothing to do with. Don't think he will stay there long. He will make the call to get out of there because he won't be able to cook the books with so many eyes on him. Please Leo, take Boudreau (aka lil leo wanna be) with you.
2 dead in rogers park, home invasions in 19 and 16..... lets send everyone to 007 and 011,,,, God forbid the people who pay taxes get sum police
He was kicked "upstairs"?. How about he was demoted to his career service rank and assigned a foot post on midnights.
This idiot has no skill. He was stealing at commanders pay, lieutenants pay, seargents pay all the way since he was a PPO. Dishwasher is his only qualification.
So Patterson is an XO getting Chiefs pay
Carothers is an XO getting Commanders Pay
Captains are XO's getting Captains pay,
But since they are all XO's who is the boss if they all show up on a shooting?
I know in the scheme of things it doesn't matter to the guy riding the beat car, but was just curious
Wait til the Station Supervisor has to approve 200% more arrest reports and inventories for the almighty 5-bagger dope pinches.
Newsflash, all you chumps about to have your lives turned upside down to exclusively police the savage that doesn't want to be saved from itself: This type of approach to curing a problem that CAN'T be cured has been tried in various incarnations since the beginning of time.
The residents don't want you in their neighborhoods, nor do they give a flying fuck about "what you're gonna do to them" next time you see them on the corner. Shit, you can no longer even seize their cash when you pinch them for dope without meeting certain criteria. And that criteria isn't met 99% of the time. Same goes for gambling proceeds. One of the biggest incentives for keeping these bastards somewhat in check has been stripped from us for some reason no one can seem to explain.
Next, the rev'runs want your ass everytime you do so much as look at one of their constituents even halfway sideways. These pillars of the community are, after all, their meal tickets.
Now add in the multitude of reasons why this job is on life support - with particular attention payed to the majority of the assholes wearing gold stars - and you'll see that sticking your neck out for this ass-backwards department is a bad gamble. The same department whose crooked, clouted henchmen march in lockstep with a dictator mayor hellbent on busting our union and greatly diminishing, if not totally eliminating our pension.
Don't forget to factor in the undeserving, unappreciative and non-contributing (in ANY fashion) ghetto inhabitants siphoning off more entitlement cash than the government can print...all while you work that 2nd job to live comfortably in this city holding you captive. THESE are the 'people' you'll be risking your health, wealth and possibly your life for.
You are pawns to be used to justify the moves announced today. Leo will sell you his Bill of Bullshit to ensure his own longevity. Carothers will continue to be a six-figure, anti-snitch insurance policy. And if true, Henny Penny getting a bump is once again proof of multiple layers of discipline + multiple layers of incompetence = meteoritic ascension within the CPD.
Keeping you and your partner safe and out of trouble is what you need to worry about, not promoting some 'boss' that won't remember your name when you step on your dick.
You would have to put a tac team inside every residence in 007 and 011. Permanently.
yep I'm sure this will work.

ATF Agent Robbed At Gunpoint During Drug Investigation
At 11:38 a.m. Thursday, the agent arrived in the 900 block of South Independence in the Lawndale neighborhood for a pre-arranged purchase of 25 grams of heroin from Jefferson, according to an ATF affidavit.
As they sat in the agent’s car, Jefferson allegedly sent a text message to Parrish saying, “im in here wit him.”
At 12:43 p.m., Parrish allegedly sneaked up to the agent’s car from the rear, walked to the driver’s door and pointed a .38-caliber revolver at the agent’s head.

So we finally acknowledge MSF and TRU really did make a difference. Wasn't it in 2011 the units were disbanded and weren't they assigned daily to 011 and 007. Oh yeah but we needed a quick fix, so now we need to patch up the problem created
Word is Leo's bringing a secret weapon: A guy who can watch two different corners at the same time.
And the common denominator? Of 7/11? Yeah hi Garry its me again we talked remember? 11 has slowed considerably since the 90ties when I got here. Hell one night while at least 20 cops where on a scene of a ambush/homicide on chicago Ave when the upstanding citizenship shot and killed another. Right around the corner WHILE WE WERE THERE . You know why the numbers are climbing up? This use to be a police dept ..I don't know what the fuck, years of mismanagement, has turned it into now. LIMT.AKA LIFM
Tommy LaSorda said it best. "Its addition by subtraction"
Now Leo has to be like a "patrolman" he has to wear a uniform... He would make fun of patrolmen and tell everyone who wanted to leave GEU.. "do you really want to go back to patrol, wear a uniform and drive around in a beat car"? YES!! I am a police officer.... Unlike yourself.
WEST SIDE INSIDE DO NOTHING SAID: ....multiple layers of discipline + multiple layers of incompetence = meteoritic ascension within the CPD.
+++++
Very well put.
Without the outside units 011 has almost 5% of the dept. manpower assigned to it, (almost 500 sworn personell). No telling how much 007 gets since tony ran it into the ground. That doesnt leave alot for 016 008 019 20 etc does it?
Are there going to be sharks with fricken laser beams too?
When will CPD have the capability to call IN AIR STRIKES .....THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED CARPET BOMBINGS
So we send half of the Police Department's resources to 007 and 011. When this also fails, can we just give up? Can we finally admit we can't fix these Districts and just let nature take it's course?
We have stripped the rest of the City of Police, with what kind of results. Shooting and homicides are up all over the City, and 007 and 011 are still a mess.
Give it two months. If it doesn't help, let the taxpayers have THEIR Police Department back. They deserve some protection too.
Look at who is getting killed in these districts and ask yourself, who cares? I sure don't, I just don't want any police getting hurt preventing one dope slinging savage from killing another dope slinging savage.
wait... this can't be, this must be misinformation on the part of SCC and the media. homicides can't be up because McStupid met with the gang-bangers and told them if they didn't watch their manners, he was going to get really mad and put them on a time out. This can't be happening because it worked in New York and other cities.. . must be misinformation... The bangers in 007 & 15,They are just misunderstood...
by the way, any updates on what is happening with the guy turned loose on the Lewis case?
Wooooooooo!
ALL THIS MEANS....is that cr's will rise sharply for the calendar year of 2012. seeing how now you have an influx of more coppers in two districts of which the residents don't even appreciate.
those residents in 016 should go to the local alderman and demand more of this police presence
i remember working 007, special employment, all da robberies ,in da hood.,in the 80's. 30 years later still goes on. where b the polices,,,,,they never new da word police, is da police, the word polices means 2 or more even if i can't find da word polices in da diktionary...............ghetto spelling..
Hargeshiemer (Commander Me myself and I) is in 022 now.
This guy is a piece of work and I feel terrible for anyone who works in 022. He has never been in charge of a district, always hidden and was the commander of SVU. If you ever talk to him it sounds like he does all the work, all done by him. I hope this is a nice way to show him the door, but glad to see he has nothing to do with detectives any longer. Oh, and what will Connie do now? His lap dog that she has been, what a joke!
See a pattern , Leo to 007, Guilliford to so. side area. Unit officers dumped to so. side. Common denominator? My ques. is why wasn't it getting done.
Amen West side. Amen.
leo was a goof years ago and I take it he still is a goof.
Just a quick heads-up to McBoilermaker before you make any declarations on who's to be 'obliterated' in 011: these westside gangsters don't give a fuck who you are and they sure as hell aren't dissuaded by extra police presence. Being sweated by the police is in their DNA. It's nestled somewhere between their Absentee Parent and Unemployment genes. We' ve been there, done that" several times since the inception of ghetto populace. The phrase "everything is cyclical" does NOT apply in the 'hood - these bastards will NEVER change, regardless of the amount of police you drop on their block or the wasted cash you throw at them via the government program of the week. That is all.
Hey SCC we need another post about manpower. 016 is so short they can't man all the beat cars on 1st watch. Then last nite 3 shitheads do a HI at Harlem/Talcott. From what I here a good job was done by all. I'm sure there are some south side districts that have been stripped of manpower like 016. If you live in 016 make sure all your neighbors know how short they are tell them to make calls, scream or whatever because until the citizens start raising hell they will keep taking manpower from tax payers to protect non tax payers!!!
The more things change the more they stay the same. These criminal bastards are like cockroaches. Kill a few and the rest just run somewhere else. Good luck.
So we finally acknowledge MSF and TRU really did make a difference. Wasn't it in 2011 the units were disbanded and weren't they assigned daily to 011 and 007. Oh yeah but we needed a quick fix, so now we need to patch up the problem created

Man they must have really spiked the kool-aid while you were there. Get over yourself already. You guys were not all that special..
patterson and carrouthers are both lts , now xo's are lts and captains
captain xo's are inspectors
looks like cpd is more screwed up than before
bring jfled back
At least 2 more murders in 007 last night.
Unless an AC-130 is called in and actually used this is just one big joke.
A big shout out to the Medical Integrity Unit. Nice job getting J.M. in 023. Nine years on the job and seven years worth of some type of leave...iod/medical. There are a couple more in 023 worth looking at.
Lt/Commander dumped to xo
looks like big brother called in a favor , less responsibility , will new xo and deputy chief ever work same tour , sounds like a nice assignment , better than commander of 7.
Maybe it's just me but Rogers Park and Lakeview area seems to be getting lit up more then usual lately.
Lit up like Christmas trees, only it's not Christmas anymore.
does anybody know who the last white commander of 007 was and what year. just curious.
Soooo... we don't have a manpower problem but if we put more officers on the street in high crime areas (007/011) crime will go down? Interesting.
So if the city would hire more police and spread them around the city then shouldn't crime go down citywide?
I'm ready for compstat!
This use to be a police dept ..I don't know what the fuck, years of mismanagement, has turned it into now. LIMT.AKA LIFM

How true; how sad retired sgt.
O.T.
Did anyone else see the photo INSIDE the apartment of the fatal fire in 005 on the Scun Times website today????
Question for any CFD personnel...
Is it common to allow reporters inside a scene while the investigation is still on-going?
.......and changing commanders is gonna do what????? JAACK SHIT!!!! where r they pulling those bodies from? And what Is jersey shore gonna do when this band aid bullshit doesnt work cause as a blueshift who works the street IT'S NOT!
So Caruthers will hang out until he gets his Gold Braided Pension, and where is Williams? I believe he is xo for a deputy as well. Still taking care of Clout. You can try and hide them but you can't If the city is serious about cutting costs, why are they still getting commanders pay and what are they really doing? Hey Andy Shaw BGA, hey Carol, are you reading this. Don't ever say us working stiffs on this job don't deserve our pensions when you are making sure the clouted get their Gold Braided ones Rham!!!
Yes, and no one respects him more than himself. Leo is and always has been a shameless self promoter who took credit for things he had nothing to do with. Don't think he will stay there long. He will make the call to get out of there because he won't be able to cook the books with so many eyes on him. Please Leo, take Boudreau (aka lil leo wanna be) with you.
----------------------------------------------
Wow another complainer who obviously has an ax to grind, but can't tell these men to their faces. I don't know these guys personally but from what they have shown and how they are with the troops they are stand up guys. I had a personal family issue and both men really helped me out and i don't mean they were doing their job. I mean they didn't know me from adam but helped me big time. Lots of luck Commander and I really hope the Sarge stays in Gangs. Of course if you have ever lead men in the military you can't make them all like you.

Hey! Hey! You gived us deeshwashers a bad name there amigo. He coulda no do our job so good, no? How can somebody work who don't know how to do the work? No!
Leo Schmitz is very well respected by the brass. He is going to reduce crime in 007 and then move the deputy chief. He is being prepped for the deputy position. Even Ray Charles can see this coming.
In all my years in the work force which includes having as many as 100 people under me on a production line have I encountered such a hostile work enviroment.
Every which way you turn you get negatively introduced to more nonsense. Belittled and berated.
Nothing on this job except for the handfull of bosses we now have in 017 that make the job as pleasurable and fun as they can,
sets you up to be successful.
( Please feel free to positively reflect how things are in your district. And I do mean POSITIVE!)
Im going to let you in on a little secret I was trained and certified in as well.
+R It stands for positive reinforcement. IE: Catch them doing it right and coach them when they are wrong. Here is the real kicker.... EMPOWER your subordinates. Every which way we turn we are micro managed to beyond hell and back.
It totally annoys the living hell out of me.
If you treat your staff kindly with mutual respect and make a healthy happy workplace, the rest just falls into place. Subordinates will damn near throw themselves under a bus for you. Just because they are happy at work.
Belittling and setting people up for failure and humiliation ( MM )
is no way to build a team.
We have to go to work not because we want to, but because we have to. If you want to be misserable then so be it. Then step down so a real manager/leader can take the reins.
I can honestly say that things are back to normal in 017. They havent been for the past 5 years or so. And I dont need to explain why. Everybody knows. Its like traffic. One car messes up everything.
Why are we so mean to each other? Why do we go way out of our way to screw a fellow copper over? There are people I despise in 017. I just avoid them. I dont waste time trying to hurt them or screw them over....Unless that is if they engage me first. If you dislike a person that much, go have at it in the alley and be done with it.
If being successful is hurting and going out of your way to fuck over another Police Officer or anybody for that matter of fact, because of your small mind or ego, then Id rather get fired. This isnt what I signed up for? This isnt how I was trained 16 years ago.
I am thankful I was somewhat smart enough to find another passion.
IM not saying to start a them against us. I am saying work together.
I have been fucked with 100 times over on this job for one reason. I say it like it is and I am not scared to be my own person. I am not scared to stand up for myself. I have no skeletons in my closet. Nothing more than a couple a spars for missing court in 16 years. To tell ya the truth....This job does nothing right now but bring me down. Im not knocking it, Im just saying it like it is. Something I wish more people on this job could do.
I havent had a beef since 2000. I go way out of my way to help a real person/citizen on the street.
If a copper sincerely needs my help I do it no matter how much I dislike them. Because we are supposed to be blue.
I love being a Police Officer. But I cant operate in such a disfuntional manner.
Be Safe, Back Each Other Up.
And give Bill Cozzi a call. I wish I had a tenth of his strength. He still loves this city and this department. Can you say the same.... I, ashamed cannot.
Thank You to the bosses now in 017 for doing the best you can under the curcumstances we have! We do appreciate it!

Wait. You mean Leo wasn't responsible for finding and killing Bin laden and getting an award for it like he said. And he didnt body slam Andre the giant. Geez I feel stupid.
.. Leo says ..7 tact..no sou.. no super bowl for you!
I'm not a Police Officer but I do read your SCC Blog.
I live in Area 4 on one of the
neighborhood streets and it's sad to see the "small" businessmen
congregate on the corners at both
ends of my block regardless of the
weather to sell their dope and run
up to the car window to make the
sale when a customer pulls up.
Equally annoying is to get a whiff
of the marijuana being smoked in two of every three cars passing by.
And the steady stream of cars on
this residential street stopping
in the middle of the street and blocking traffic while the sale is
transacted. And no one,from the newly re-instated alderman (24th) to the residents and homeowners seems to be concerned or complain.
Don't forget to factor in the undeserving, unappreciative and non-contributing (in ANY fashion) ghetto inhabitants siphoning off more entitlement cash than the government can print...all while you work that 2nd job to live comfortably in this city holding you captive. THESE are the 'people' you'll be risking your health, wealth and possibly your life for.

there are five additional elements who profit from maintaining and increasing this status quo:
1. politicians, who maintain and gain loyal voters for their reelections, their ever increasing taxpayer financed budgets, doling out contracts, dubious investments of public funds and padding their payrolls, with the resulting kickback campaign contributions feeding the cycle.
2. the plethora of retailers, whose businesses see no difference between sales to the working, earning customers or sales to the dole parasitical customers. after all, a buck is a buck, no matter from whence it came to be spent to purchase a business' goods and/or services.
3. the private, and public, sector poverty pimps, raking in that taxpayer cash, for the disingenuous purpose of 'serving' the 'needs' of their 'needy' clientele, said clientele being reliably encouraged to vote 'the right way', come election days.
4. the rental real estate/section 8 harvesters, overjoyed at the steady flow of market value, taxpayer subsidized, and, thus, so far, guaranteed rental income from their under maintained property holdings.
5. the illicit, underbelly economy of goods and services, commonly known as 'vices', provided by a variety of small and large enterprises, aka disorganized crime, against which a relatively small, but courageous, group of individuals wage a never ending battle to maintain some semblance of Truth, Justice and the American Way.
such is life.
WARNING: If you go to 011...stay out of the 30 sector
One would think that with the uptick in violent crime occurring in 023 and 024, Boemer and the Old Man should be on the chopping block as well.
OT, but probably deserves its own post on the frontpage, SCC:

I heard the new 007th dist uniform is going to be camouflage pants just like leo wore every day to work when he was a patrolman getting shitbums released without charging on bogus robbery reports that he wrote himself! some of us are still around when you were a p.o.
"Respected". Taking Jody to Bears games. The eternal suckup. This is revolting.
I've got some thoughts...
1- ALL citizens deserve the best possible police protection and service. That being said, the people in 007 deserve better leadership than the multi-merit promoted, clouted hack from the felonious Carothers family as their Commander. This guy, with a father AND brother who have been convicted of political corruption, should have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS wearing a police star, let alone being "kicked upstairs" in an XO capacity.
2- It's about time SOMEONE challenged this idea that X amount of exempt spots MUST BE reserved for Black or Hispanic officers... BULLCRAP! Judge these people on their abilities and results, not their heritage or who their sponsor is.
3- Now that Englewood has a, (OMG!), CAUCASIAN Commander, let's see what he can do. This should clear up a couple of things: First, is this blonde man with the chest-full of ribbons the REAL deal, or just an ego-maniacal paper jumping poser? Second, will the community support him in fighting crime in their neighborhood, or is having a NON-White Commander more important?
4- This whole "007/011 intervention" is just another in a list of 'municipal shake-ups' (already completed or planned) by Raccoon 9.5, to rid himself of the remaining Daley political hacks and claim the city as HIS personal reward. Obviously, this latest incarnation is just another manifestation of the old MSF/TRU concept of attacking the problem. The difference? Now Rahm's and JerseyShore's guys are running it instead of Daley's and Jody's. Same shit, different clout hacks, with probably the same results.
5- You can count on these 007/011 teams ending up as the planned Mobile Field Force. Most already have the required gear and uniforms and have already waived their contractual rights to be in specialized units. They should ALSO be in a stand-by position for G8/NATO.
XO = political clout , unable to perform duties of a watch commander or district commander
Now it's time to assign a Hispanic Commander to 11th district and a white commander to 10 .
Will new Commander of 7 , clean out all the hidden office police
he could probably man another tact team , years ago there were alot of
after hours taverns in 7
can leo enforce bar closings or will politicians have his hands tied . time will tell pam zekman , walter , chuck goudie look into the late night bars in 7.
Who is the new commander of 016?
7 tact , Demanding to be removed is one thing. Throwing it on the ground and breaking is another. It belongs to someone . Criminal damage to property.
did they forget about 003,005, and 006--- they are all bloodbaths as well--- we send the cia to iran to blow up nuclear scientists who may be making an atomic bomb--- we should maybe start blowing up known gang leaders who are poisoning their communities and facilitating the killing of innocent people--- bin laden had a 50 million dollar bounty on his head--- how much is the bounty on the top latin king or vice lord or ganster disciple....
Don't forget to factor in the undeserving, unappreciative and non-contributing (in ANY fashion) ghetto inhabitants siphoning off more entitlement cash than the government can print...all while you work that 2nd job to live comfortably in this city holding you captive. THESE are the 'people' you'll be risking your health, wealth and possibly your life for.
You are pawns to be used to justify the moves announced today. Leo will sell you his Bill of Bullshit to ensure his own longevity. Carothers will continue to be a six-figure, anti-snitch insurance policy. And if true, Henny Penny getting a bump is once again proof of multiple layers of discipline + multiple layers of incompetence = meteoritic ascension within the CPD.
Keeping you and your partner safe and out of trouble is what you need to worry about, not promoting some 'boss' that won't remember your name when you step on
I have read this blog for a long time and never heard anyone say the full true like this guy. Even if your a hard charger deep inside you know this is true. Thx for blogging the true and hopefully more people will realize the nonsense that this job has become.
to 3:17am.....no, msf/tru never made a difference. I hope you don't work in 011/007 with such a dumbass comment. Go get your msf tattoo removed and move on. Clown.
Wasn't Leo Schmitz the lockup officer on Hill St. Blues in the
80's?
4 police officers arrested & indicted in New Haven,Conn today. Civil rights violation.
Just doing their job, hard chargers doing what 'the Boss' wants, activity in a troubled section of town
Tell me this is what really matters to you....a C.B. number and 'activity' ?????
Will it be all quiet in Englewoods come G8 ?
Do tell me when the lambs stop crying.
Going after the gang hierarchy. Hum gd conflict. Each block is a different group of gd's
So Patterson is an XO getting Chiefs pay
Carothers is an XO getting Commanders Pay
Captains are XO's getting Captains pay,
But since they are all XO's who is the boss if they all show up on a shooting?
I know in the scheme of things it doesn't matter to the guy riding the beat car, but was just curious
1/24/2012 01:23:00 AM
You must be new.
Forgive me , as I have been retired for a few years and things are changing fast. Was Caruthers demoted to a lieutenant as XO, or still holding his commander's rank? nd, a white guy as commander of 007? This is about time. I worked in 007 and the commanders there were some of the most inept and corrupt in the department. I have no problem with a white commander of an all black district and a black commander of an all white district, just so they are competent and take care of their men/women.
Keeping you and your partner safe and out of trouble is what you need to worry about, not promoting some 'boss' that won't remember your name when you step on your dick.

Well said, very well said. A good and true ( in my opinion) post.
CPD just put its Best Commander in Englewood and it shouldn't take long before you will see an immediate impact and decline in Crime in 007! Congrat's Leo and hopefully in won't be long until you become a Deputy Chief!
Wow, couldn't have said it better myself . A 15yr Beat car Outside do nothing, but answer my calls and feed my family!
McCarthy XO's are not swiping in and out , where are the xo/inspectors , don't they write up any officers above the rank of sgt
xo/inspectors cowards , only write up the unclouted
So Patterson is an XO getting Chiefs pay
Carothers is an XO getting Commanders Pay
Captains are XO's getting Captains pay,
But since they are all XO's who is the boss if they all show up on a shooting?
I know in the scheme of things it doesn't matter to the guy riding the beat car, but was just curious

Wait till the lawsuits come... Twenty years ago, patrolmen were assigned as partners to gang specialists. They sued, and all were promoted. Court ruled that since they were doing the work they should get the title and the pay. Wait till this one hits federal court!!! All the Captains will retire as Deputy Chiefs!!!
Great idea Don O'Neill bout time you get it stuck to you like you've stuck it to us!
Can we lock McStupe out of HQ like one of the suburbs did to their chief of police (BTW, is he ex-CPD?).
Because if that works, we can then lock the doors to city hall to keep the ballerino out and all will be well.
Ot
Sounds like something the CPD would do to us.
Joshua Waddell, a first lieutenant in the U.S. Marines, appeared on his way to a stellar career as an American military officer. The son of a retired Navy SEAL commander, Waddell had won a Bronze Star during his first tour of duty in Afghanistan and had returned for a second.
Then he made a decision in combat that military experts say has severely jeopardized his future in the corps.
But some military experts say the black mark on Waddell's record was undeserved, that he and other young American officers are being put in a difficult, if not impossible, situation by unreasonable rules of engagement foisted upon the military by politically sensitive commanders in the Pentagon.

Whoever came up with the idea to make Hargesheimer the commander of 022 is a total idiot. I have known Bob for many years and his knowledge of Youth Offenses is unparalleled. He is a boss who actually knows his job, likes working in the youth div and backs up his troop even if they are not right but tried to do the right thing. To take someone like this who has contacts that reach far beyond the CPD and take him out of his expertise shows a disregard for the citizens of the City.
I hope all you members of the CPD, especially you younger ones, are watching. His being moved shows that how qualified you are and how hard you work does not matter. On the other hand you can have a Alderman brother in jail, be merit promoted all the way, totally f-up a district and still wind up as a XO in a better spot making Commanders pay.
The only good out of this is the 22nd dist is getting one of the last true stand-up bosses.
And no, I am not or have ever been a member of unit 184.
The commander of Chicago’s crime-ridden Englewood police district was kicked upstairs Monday — and replaced by respected gang enforcement commander Leo Schmitz
...um, respected by whom?
3:17, you need to come to the realization that you dummies were nothing more than a revenue generating group of impressionable newbies (not all of you, but most) who were played by the bosses.
They told you what you wanted to hear and stroked you guys and gals when you needed to be stroked. You were manipulated by the higher-ups so they could justify their existence. If you were lucky and kept drinking the Koolaide they were serving, you were thrown the occasional table scrap to keep you performing like circus seals.
Those of you with any kind of whack were told to play along so you could pad your resume as justification for when you get that 'merit' bump ( on hold indefinitely now) to detective or Sergeant. Those without a sponsor were contented and pacified with the 2 hour lunches and the 'elite' moniker attached to sporadic TRU & MSF feel-good newspaper articles. Getting away from the daily doldrums associated with pushing a beat car was a nice bone, albeit a temporary one. "What?!?!? The unit ISN'T going to last forever?!?!?! I'm going to 004?!?!? But I live in 016. I wasn't even given a chance to bid back to the unit I left!"
Rinse. Repeat. Same shampoo, different hair(gels).
What effect will added manpower have to these two districts no effect.
Not when you have Preckwinkle planning to close the Juvenile Detention Center down.
Preckwinkle is currently in the process of having probation offenders not detained when they violate their probation.
In the past few weeks many of the victims and offenders of shootings and homicides have been Juvenile offenders on probation.
Currently offenders 12 and under are not sent to the Detention Center, Juveniles currently are not held accountable for there actions so they will continue to prey on the rest of soceity.
Yes, and no one respects him more than himself. Leo is and always has been a shameless self promoter who took credit for things he had nothing to do with. Don't think he will stay there long. He will make the call to get out of there because he won't be able to cook the books with so many eyes on him. Please Leo, take Boudreau (aka lil leo wanna be) with you.

It's called an Opportunistic Fraud and this department is full of them!
"West Side, Inside Do-Nothing said...
Wait til the Station Supervisor has to approve 200% more arrest reports and inventories for the almighty 5-bagger dope pinches.
Newsflash, all you chumps about to have your lives turned upside down to exclusively police the savage that doesn't want to be saved from itself: This type of approach to curing a problem that CAN'T be cured has been tried in various incarnations since the beginning of time.
The residents don't want you in their neighborhoods, nor do they give a flying fuck about "what you're gonna do to them" next time you see them on the corner. Shit, you can no longer even seize their cash when you pinch them for dope without meeting certain criteria. And that criteria isn't met 99% of the time. Same goes for gambling proceeds. One of the biggest incentives for keeping these bastards somewhat in check has been stripped from us for some reason no one can seem to explain."
Nationally the amount of money that Pookie has to have on him in order for it to be seized is $1000. So now that Chicago has the amount of $500, it is still significantly less than the national standard. The reason is that it costs X amount of dollars to fight Pookie when he tries to get his $40 bucks back for the 6 rock case you got on him (well not you, since you are inside doing nothing).
Uh-oh!
Man dies after October shooting
Updated 5:06 p.m.
Chicago police have launched a homicide investigation after a 27-year-old man who was shot in October was pronounced dead Monday evening, officials said today.
------------------------------
Homicides were down in 2011 by how much again? Was it seven? Now it's by six right?
Commander David Sobczyk is making a come back. He has plenty of true war stories to tell and will lead gang intelligence into battle. Go save the department Dave, I'm sure your beautiful secretary Agnes is waiting for you as well. Agnes is tired of working the beat car, be her knight in shining armor and save her from working in a district.
In the immortal words of Floyd the Barber (RE: Leo) oooooh you have really nice hair
Crime is rising and you'll note that the sanctuary city is still importing the criminal elements, the illegal immigrants doing the drug and gun running and who knows what else.
All these things that Chicago's mullahs and elected tribal war lords are doing are not proactive and do not address the core of our problems.
Of course maybe they don't want any of it addressed? After all it's stuff like this that justifies their very jobs and enables a larger empire to build, to pick and choose the winners and losers from.
Maybe they like things just the way they are -- in crisis. Don't look over here. No, no-no, look over there at that. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
What shall we use this crisis for?
Is it large enough yet...no? Well import some more illegals and then refuse to detain and hold the ones that are proven law breakers.
Respect for the laws my azz. It's manipulation of the laws for personal gain.
Medical integrity should take alooky at another 23rd po LE. She was launched from the an inside spot and had been on IOD after IOD ever since. Now she is attempting a duty disability due to these so called career altering injuries.
CPD just put its Best Commander in Englewood and it shouldn't take long before you will see an immediate impact and decline in Crime in 007! Congrat's Leo and hopefully in won't be long until you become a Deputy Chief!
Signed Rick Flair Woooooooo!!!
"So we finally acknowledge MSF and TRU really did make a difference"
NO WE'RE NOT!
What were saying is we're 4000 policemen short.
We still all know Mobile Stroke Force and the fools who kissed Keating/Georgas/Ryan/Kennedy's asses were morons who did nothing. Except of course Kim who follows the top Saganaki everywhere he goes.
The only thing this is going to lead to is,more police shootings,more C.R.#'s, and more crime in civilized areas of the city. Why not just buy a used predator drone that has a gunshot sensor?
It's a shame that Cmdr Dave McNaughton is being punished and sent to 008 from 016. Do you think it has anything to do with his Brother-In-Laws Sister running unsuccessfully against scumbag Emanuel's handpicked Alder-bot O'Connor? Dave is smart,kind,ethical and all around good man,which is everything Emanuel isn't. Best of luck, you are a textbook example of an Old time Irish Boss,and what a policeman should be!
The only good out of this is the 22nd dist is getting one of the last true stand-up bosses.

Jeez, you have been blinded by Hargeshimer. He is the most egotistical, one-sided, lying, back stabbing, pompous ass there is. Maybe you should have worked for him. 90 percent of those who have say the same thing. He is a great bullshitter though. he has you bullshitted.
Are there going to be sharks with fricken laser beams too?

LMFAO
Fact: I found an IAD/CPD GPS tracking device in my pillow that I keep in my cruiser.
Leo, I'm calling you out Brotha. I want a hell in the cell match with ya. No one, and I mean no one has ever attempted to dismantle the tact office tv before. This is a loser leaves town match. Whatcha goin to do brotha when me and all my Hulkamaniacs come lookin for you. grrrrrrrrrrrr (ripping off my shirt).

Hey Leo,
Patting yourself on the back again I see. I'm surprised you haven't gone IOD with a torn rotator cuff from all of the back patting. Can't wait to see how long it takes you and Bubbleheads to throw P.O.'s under the bus.
you could put the national guard on every block. guess what... not much would change!
First and foremost, I wish to thank each and every officer on the Chicago Police Department. I am a citizen in this city and I am just letting you guys and gals know that there are many of us that appreciate and respect all that you do for us. With that being said, I read in the news how the new superintendent has implemented a system where he is placing extra officers in the 7th and 11th districts. That's fine and dandy for those communities but I feel as a taxpayer, some of those officers must be being taken from my community. Maybe I am wrong but if all the criminals know that the majority of police officers are being taken out of slower districts, why not go over to the slower areas and commit crimes? Also, if you have a news conference telling Everyone (including drug dealers) that you are sending a bunch of undercover officers to their areas to arrest drug dealers, are you not putting these undercover officers into much more danger? I'm sorry if my thoughts don't make much sense but I don't think I would brag and proclaim to all the media outlets that a whole bunch of undercover officers are going to be in 7th and 11th areas. Thank you and God Bless each and every Officer that works to keep us, the citizens safe. Be careful out there!
I have to give McCarthy Kudos, he had the balls to put a white commander in 007. That shit hasn't been done in decades.

well 011 get ready for more protest it should be interesting...........
What's the matter you fucking asshole politicians got the CPD you have been crying for all these years.
You have hard working police officers who go out day after day and then get hit with bullshit CR#,deviatons, or the law suits and stupid statistical surveys mandated by the inept Illinois legislature and now you morons (RHAM & McMUSH) expect us to randomly stop cars and street stops... PROBABLE CAUSE......
so next time your bitching at the COMPSTAT about the police getting out and putting their hands on people remember this is the police department that you tools dismantled 10 years ago. GFY you tool!!!!
Det. Black
McCarthy XO's are not swiping in and out , where are the xo/inspectors , don't they write up any officers above the rank of sgt
xo/inspectors cowards , only write up the unclouted
DUDE, ok, really, how many times can you post this? Give it a break, and I'm sure you swipe in, right?
Leo called patrick daley who was over is russia and we will now have these in englewood now we are talking!

put an XO in charge of mlas
Don Oneil should be the Commander of 11 , he could reduce crime in 11
Give Don a chance to prove himself as a leader , he was never given the opportunity to be a District Commander , leader of men in patrol
"Back In Da Day", all one needed to be considered a seizable amount of narcotic's-related cash was $130.00.
It was a much simpler time back then. And the mutts feared us. And the politicians werent gunning for us. And the public loved the police.
Times have changed. It's all about ME now. Self preservation is the name of the game. Fuck this city and fuck this job.

Not Bob here. I am the original poster. I don't know what your beef is with Hargesheimer but I know he never hurt anyone. I don't know what ax you have to grind but perhaps you could enlighten all of us what your issue is.
OT
An apology to the Chicago Police from a concerned citizen now living outside the city. Every day I read the Chicago media outlet websites and they don't allow comments on stories like Graffiti "artist" murdered. Or Man involved in killing of 14 year old girl gets 14 years. But the comment section stays wide open for police bashing of "Wrongly accused man gets 25 Mil." You are fighting a loosing battle and its sad to see. Stay safe cover your own and fuck the city. If your bosses don't have your back its up to you on the front lines to watch each others. There are still people out there that do have your back. But sadly I think its only cop families, other cops, and military.
Semper Fi
TO: First and foremost, I wish to thank each and every officer on the Chicago Police Department........

you are 100% correct in your reasoning. and thank you..

Hooa
**********************
at ease dork. Welcome to the chicago police department. Nobody is impressed by the ranger hooa hardass routine. go look at yourself in the mirror and sound off because We could care less. Semper fi, recon.
Its a bad idea. Flooding those districts with cops will send the monster out to "safer" neighborhoods. I say just sit back and let the natural course of destruction run. They'll thin themselves out.
Hmmm,,now how long will it take before all of Caruthers do nothing,idiotic females office women are 711???? Ha! OMG,,,These women are actually gonna work in a squad car or does he get to continue to detail his crew with him??
Look out for your fellow P/O.if deployed to 7/11. Get home and be safe. Most important rules of police work. Then get your 2 bags of weed.
I applied to msf and Tru and was turned down, that's why I'm bitter and will always make fun of you unit guys.
I have to give McCarthy Kudos, he had the balls to put a white commander in 007. That shit hasn't been done in decades.
Yeah, now maybe we can get a black one in 008 or 022!
...textbook example of an Old time Irish Boss...
a politically connected,petty and vindictive,heavy fisted and/or thieving,"entitled",alcoholic,member of the old boys network who thinks women are meant to serve the hubby (not serve and protect)....who would want to be an Old time Irish Boss???

I don't think it is a bad idea but I do wonder why gangs and gang intel didn't flood those high crime districts before? It's interesting how they move the commander and add one who should have had his guys flooding the area to begin with. That's what the gang units are for. I'm not for or against the old or new commander it just seems the new commander can't help but succeed with all that help. Maybe that is the plan.
SO??? CW an Inspector / "supervisor" tells the 011 dist roll call, that if she is at one of our jobs and the PO has a "supervisor" question she will not answer or provide assistance because "thats what your SGTs are for."..HEY CW.. Da Sup thinks Inspectors are full of shit..want to hear the tapes ...and when your name was mentioned ..he said who?..DING FRIES ARE DONE!!!
Sneed Exclusive: Police shake-up
By MICHAEL SNEED msneed@suntimes.com
January 25, 2012 2:18AM
Sneed hears a massive shake-up in the Chicago Police Department’s Youth Division is coming.
◆To wit: “Getting kids to stay out of crime is imperative,” Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthytells Sneed.
◆Upshot: “We have an entire cadre of people involved with working with kids, and it’s critical to a holistic approach to reducing crime and helping resolve the gang problem,” he added.
◆The stats: CPD Youth division chief Robert Hargesheimer, who has just been made commander of the 22nd district (Morgan park/Beverly) — has been replaced by CPD Bomb and Arson commander Gene Roy, “who is assessing youth investigations in the interim,” said police spokesman Melissa Stratton.
◆Backpat shot: McCarthy praised Hargesheimer for his “exemplary work.” He added: “Moving people into a district command can be a rite of passage to deputy chief.”
My guess Leo's gonna be a a Deputy Chief after around the 90-180 day mark.
A big shout out to the Medical Integrity Unit. Nice job getting J.M. in 023. Nine years on the job and seven years worth of some type of leave...iod/medical. There are a couple more in 023 worth looking at.
1/24/2012 08:31:00 AM
We've got a few in 009 that would be very deserving of the same fate. Medical integrity unit can you help us out and nail these chronic abusers?
"I applied to msf and Tru and was turned down, that's why I'm bitter and will always make fun of you unit guys.
1/25/2012 12:40:00 AM"
That's it you got me pegged. Don't let that brilliant talent go to waste, make sure you sign up for Gene's G-8 Marines
Gene Roy to Youth? Why is this department giving this pompous asshole another unit to fuck up?
1-24-2012 1:20pm, You Sir are mistaken. Leo was on the same watch as Tudie & Muldoon in Car 54 Where are You. After that series was cancelled he then joined Herman Munster as Grand Pa!
move one way oneal to 11
just ask nhim he's superintendent material or at least a chief
he tricked the captains to vote yes for XO

1/25/2012 11:10:00 AM
I've been retired since November. What happened to the current commander in 022, Mike Kemmuth? Did he retire?
Hmmm,,now how long will it take before all of Caruthers do nothing,idiotic females office women are 711???? Ha! OMG,,,These women are actually gonna work in a squad car or does he get to continue to detail his crew with him??
1/24/2012 11:58:00 PM
Hey not just the women, send that black male p.o. that sits next to the commanders office talking on his bluetooth all day. Not sure if he remembers what a beat car looks like but we could use the extra help out here!
Does the Captain's Association know that the Executive Officers of Area 4 Deputy Chief and Area 5 Deputy Chief are still Commanders and receiving Commanders pay?
captain assoc could care less , all the board members got good spots for the Yes votes
XO=JO
hahabwahaha
