XO Failure

Amazing. The Captains voted what? A week or so ago to sell out their own contract and by their actions, throw everything else into disarray. Now the city and Department turn around and stick it in their asses? Priceless:
  • Exempts and XO's were called to an emergency meeting yesterday at 1730. All XO's will be in Sun/Mon, start at either 1630 or 1730. They wlll approve all overtime and CU for all 3 watches.They will all be given blackberries and if there is a problem they can be called while they are off and they will be compensated(OT) for the calls!!!!They will be responsbile for all administration duties and crime analysis(compstat) in the district. There new office will be the former Watch Commander office and the station supervisor will sit out at the desk. The goal is to remove all Lt's from Units and put them back in patrol.

    Things got pretty heated, it became obvious to the Capt/XO's that they got lied to and fucked by the City and good ole Don O'Neil. The City specifically put the starting times at 1630/1730 because they are within 3 hours of the starting time of 3rd(1330) and 1st(2030)watch. The Capts can have their hours changed by 3 without being compensated.

    We are in for a long and bumpy rode, grab your ankles and hold on tight

Everyone saw this one coming. Everyone except the 23 Captains who voted for Hoot's harebrained scheme. Remember, these are our leaders selling everyone else down the river.

Was going to say amazing but it should have been expected. This entire dept. will be a total train wreck and we can thank the 5th floor at City Hall. The Racoon wants everyone fighting with each other in every city dept. He believes he can have the city running well enough when he seeks reelection. Now I can see why Michelle Obama hates this rotten mother fucker.

Hopefully the end will be O'Neill's messed up reign as MLAS commander. How can you be the commander for a unit that is supposed to know the contract law and yet you make decisions that directly violate it. That man is costing the City big time with each violation he suggests implementing.

An emergency meeting called at 35th Street last night ended in a near brawl (so New York).

It seems the new XOs wee flexing a little muscle but were finding their 30 pieces of silver were not waiting for them in the Districts. Too bad.

There was a lot of screaming and swearing and no real anwswers. A clear indication that this downsizing of the Department was implemented without any real thought. Just looking at the money they thought they would save. This Department is a mess. Thank you Mr. Mayor.

W/C's er I mean Station Supervisors sitting out at the front desk? Ridiculous. Although if they refuse to have a desk sgt., or acting desk sgt. then the station supervisor will have to do all the stuff that a desk sgt. does so they might as well be sitting out at the desk.
This whole X/O thing is an order that doesn't even pass the sniff test. Seriously who in their right minds thought this one up?

Beyond that, the department and this double crossing, arrogant, obnoxious Supt. will get nothing from me. And the Supt. can yell at me all day long at the next compstat meeting and I'll just smile back because, unlike the exempts, who he can intimidate, I can't be demoted, so bring it on.

There is a new draft order that supplements the District Station Supervisors duties. It changes their radio call sign from 99 to 01, 2599 now answers up 2501.
The DSS has to conduct roll calls and check the lock up 4 times. Not a big deal but each roll call is 30 minutes and a lock up check is about 15. So that is two hours away from the desk to have shit pile up.
Of course the ones who are getting screwed are the PO's. They will just have to stand there and wait until the DSS gets to them.
Sorry office I have to do roll call, then check the lock up, then check all cars outside in the lot(also in the draft), then I have to approve the a/a's, then do a watch incident log, oh yeah the XO needs this report done.
At the emergency XO/Cmdr meeting they said XO's have to approve all OT, but in the draft it says the DSS has to be notified if someone is on OT, but it doesn't say who approves it.
I'm not sure which rank they are trying to phase out, Lt, Capt or Commander. The LT is now basically a desk sgt, the XO is responsible for all the Commanders duties, so im going to guess the Commanders rank is the one they are after.
The only thing the Titanic had on us, it took under 3 hours to sink, we have been holding out a little longer, but we are heading in that direction. The final blow will be G8/Nato.

The Lieutenants are nothing more than glorified desk sergeants that don't know the position, unless they were desk sgt's at one time. The Tact Lt. will now work as a fill in SS and if the district is short possibly work 3 different watches in a week. All field incidents will be handled by a Sgt. even police shootings, but they can't approve a TRR. This puts a stop to all promotions and was only designed to save the city "Mayor" money, plain and simple. And the Mayor expects us to be all fired up for the G-8? All I plan on doing at the G-8 if deployed is stand there and look pretty if I don't have the flu that week. Arrest who? I am holding the line sir.

The new call sign for the Station supervisor is 01. 101,201 etc. Same as the desk sgt used to be. The XO will be in the w/c office doing nothing,and the ss will sit at the desk. So now since the Captain rank is basically eliminated as is the Lt rank since a sgt can be ss. No promotions beyond sgt in the future. Big cash savings for the city and more money for social programs and connected contracts. The Shitcago way.

I only feel for the 20 who voted against this because they had the common sense to see through the lies the city and this "hoot" beat-off sold them. Stick the 23 who voted for this with this XO b.s.
I read an email that a Capt from 022 sent to all the Capt's in the weeks prior to this vote taking place, with all the reasons they should vote AGAINST the XO proposal. He was spot on about why they should not trust the city's offer and referred to the city as being " snake oil salesman".
This offer was APPROVED by the Catains Association board of directors. I'm gonna guess they will all land on their feet.
You were right on, Mike!

What goes around comes around. The captains knew this was wrong. They knew that the city was going to cheat lieutenants . They also knew that their actions would force sergeants to be acting watch commanders which is knowledge beyond their rank. This is just the beginning of this mess and if grievances are won, the city will be wild because they will now be forced to pay back out of grade wages. The XOs better run for cover when that happens.

When will we learn? Harry Hohm sold out the Captains, and everyone else and made Commander. Don O'Neil was ineffective as president of the Lieutenants Assoc. and failed to fight when contract violations were noted, made Commander. Hoot, sold out Captains got a nice spot. 9Does the Sun & Mon thing apply to Unit XO's?) Let's not forget Engstrum who led the charge to have a separate union thus creating a divide that started all of this, only to retire and go work for Ginger Rugai the 19th Ward Alderwomen where his daughter also worked. ( And I know that Nolan was partly responsible too, but working for the 19th ward? Com'on) If you don't think this affects you, remember what happened when they got rid of Captains last time? One boss would approve your CU only to have another cancel it. Partners broken up, cars changed, fights between Lieutenants. Oh, and somebody ask the president of the Sgt's. union why he approved this wellness thing the city is pushing instead of waiting for contract negotiations.

They also put the XOs in a Sun/Mon DOG. Total and complete screwing. Remember, 20 captains voted against this thing and I was one of them. And I care about one thing and one thing only now, the officers in my district and I'll do whatever I can to make things better for them. Beyond that, the department and this double crossing, arrogant, obnoxious Supt. will get nothing from me. And the Supt. can yell at me all day long at the next compstat meeting and I'll just smile back because, unlike the exempts, who he can intimidate, I can't be demoted, so bring it on.

The job of the commander of MLAS is to advise the department on the contracts, that is, his opinion, possible backed up by the attorney's opinion. It is not to take care of the rank and file. You call him a sell out, well, friends, he does not work for you. I worked in that unit at one time and I can tell you that MLAS is an arm of the administration and they must tow the company line, even if you do not like it. And for those who think that going to interest arbitration is a sure win, you are dead wrong. Interest arbitration is not as easy as grivance arbitration and it can be a winner, a loser or a split decision.Captains were a test rank . The city eliminated the rank and then brought it back using appointments ( clout). They can easily do the same thing with lieutenants. Caaptains are now an exempt rank and their time in grade counts toward the gold braid pension if they ever get a gold star. That was settled by the pension board a few years ago, which also stated that when a captain is acting exempt when the commander is on vacation can also count that time toward the gold braid pension.. I think what you might see soon is the end of district commanders with just one commander in charge of 3-4 districts. We are in the midst of a department wide reorganization and this is just the opening shots. There is plenty more to come.

Oh, but you can be demoted. You hold an exempt rank and even though you are covered by a contract, if the city makes a case against you ( I admit it would be a hard thing to do), you will be a lieutenant in no time. They can also suspend you. Don't think you are bullet proof.

FAST FACTS... the days when cops with time on the job WILL QUICKLY be gone forever. Quick class...
In Florida, cops can be 19 years old.Young and dumb. In Texas, Arizona and New Mexico they can be 18 years old. Young and dumb. That said, this job too will turn into the dumb as fuck hairgell police real soon (if it aint already)and it was done by design.

With a rulebook 30 feet high on how you can fuck up, and nobody left to teach you the ropes,plus the public,the media, and the politicians and your own bosses hating police,cameras second guessing your every move.,,how can you last on this job,anymore? ANSWER. You won't!!

They want young dumb police that get the job, love it for a few till the glory wears off, become disgusted and get fired or leave.= NO PENSIONS. Now along the way you will have misguided attempts at proactive policing that will launch cops like a catapult too. Saves money, they dig it.NO PENSIONS. Rahm and the 50 thieves want constant turnover for police and fire. This will save them money.They dont give a rats ass about crime levels.

The Traffic Section's roving unit of LIDAR cars, which were implemented in 2006 to curtail speeding and directly respond to citizen and district commanders' requests, was disbanded as of today. The reason? Lack of personnel. They started out with 25 officers and 3 sergeants and ended 2011 with only 8 POs and 1 sgt. No more speed missions in the districts. The only place traffic officers will be running RADAR or LIDAR now is on Lake Shore Dr and the Skyway. The districts will be on their own for traffic enforcement from now on. But don't worry. Crime is down and we're fully staffed.

The XO has to approve requests to use CU. It seems to me that there will be no more last minute calls for the day off or even a request for the next day as it may not get back with the XO's approval in time. Good luck getting any last minute CU. In addition, if you think that the station supervisor is going to sit at the front desk and do the former Desk Sergeant's job, then I have some land in extreme southern Florida that you might be interested in. The blue shirts on the desk are all going to be the station supervisor's job.

Field Lt's were always a joke. The Captains used to split their shift, so even as Watch Commanders they only worked half a day. This department has gotten so lazy over the past fifteen years that any additional work is met with the chorus, "Oh my God! How can we possibly be expected to do this?"

I was against McCarthy until this. He is actually going to limit the number of "supervisors" needed and he is going to make the ones who are left do a full days work AND be accountable for the results. All these pussies here crying about the poor field Lts can take the cock out of their mouth and kiss my ass.

The only problem with this plan is that it wasn't put into effect ten years ago. This is the best thing I have seen from this ridiculously lazy department in my entire career.

Call me clueless on this one, but who is Don O'Neil?

1/08/2012 12:16:00 AM

Okay. You are clueless.

Hosted by Don McNeil, The Breakfast Club was a long-running morning variety show on the NBC Blue Network/ABC radio. Beginning in 1933, the show originated in Chicago, Illinois and was initially broacast from the NBC studios in the Merchandise Mart.

It was also briefly on television as the TV Club, also known as Don McNeill's TV Club, in a 1950-51 prime-time edition on ABC. It failed to make a successful transition to television.

For one year, beginning on Monday-22 February 1954, Don McNeill's Breakfast Club was simulcast on ABC Radio and television, ending on Friday-25 February 1955.

In Chicago during the early 1930s, McNeill was assigned to take over an unsponsored early morning variety show, The Pepper Pot, with an 0800 hours timeslot on the NBC Blue Network. In 1933, Mr. McNeill re-organized the hour as The Breakfast Club, dividing it into four segments which McNeill labeled "the Four Calls to Breakfast."

McNeill's revamped show combined music with informal talk and jokes, often based on topical events. The show was initially scripted by McNeill, but later it was completely ad-libbed. In addition to recurring comedy performers, various vocal groups and soloists, listeners heard sentimental verse, conversations with members of the studio audience and a silent moment of prayer. The series eventually gained a sponsor in the Chicago-based meat packer Swift and Company. McNeill is credited as the first performer to make morning talk and variety a viable radio format.

The program featured Fran Allison, of Kukla, Fran and Ollie fame, as "Aunt Fanny", plus Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers and various comedy bits. Every quarter-hour came the "Call to Breakfast" -- a march around the breakfast table. A featured vocalist on the show, under her professional name of Annette King, was Charlotte Thompson Reid, who later became an Illinois congresswoman for five terms during 1962–71.

The Breakfast Club radio program was broadcast on the radio from Friday-23 June 1933 through Friday-27 December 1968. Mr. McNeil's 35½-year run as host remains the longest tenure for an emcee of a network entertainment program, surpassing Johnny Carson with 29½ years on The Tonight Show and Bob Barker with 34⅔ years on The Price Is Right.

Now we have 69 new Lt.s with new power to show us how NUTS they are or if it is business as usual in the districts and nothing new!

In other words the panic is just starting as there is nowhere to run and hide anymore as their hides are on the line I guess.

Lets see who has balls or the leadership stature or is capable of being what they were promoted to be!

I am sure we will now be hearing many NEW stories of insanity, ineptness and of screwy decisions and direction from these Lt.s from all over the City now that the Captains are gone!

I agree the Dept has gotten lazy over the last 15 years, but this is not about being lazy it's about contractual rights.
You fail to realize the people who are going to suffer the most are the PO's. The XO's are being told to use aggressive discipline, SPAR, SPAR, SPAR!!!
It has taken several years to get to the point we are at now, you can't just expect it to be fixed overnight.
The field Lt. was an easy gig, but when the shit hit the fan you wanted that good field Lt on your side.

This will also change the way lawsuits are filed. I have been sued a few times. Each time my arrest report was approved by a Lt. or higher. When the lawsuit came down I was named but the approving boss was not on the lawsuit. Watch, when a a sergeant approves an arrest report. When the lawsuit comes down the approving boss will be included on the lawsuit. This department always writes theirselves into a legal corner each and every time they try and change something that does not need to be fixed. The people running this city are all incompetents. This department needs to erase 90 percent of the general orders that they created and go back to a small stack of orders the way it was back in the 60's and 70's. The politicians destroyed this city beyond repair.

As a retired lieutenant, I have to admit this poster is basically correct. It did not happen all of the time, but it happened frequently. The captains always left early and left a lieutenant as WC with no slips either for time taken or out of grade. When two lts were working one usually went home early as did sergeants . Nothing new here. Field Lt was a very good job, even if you had a no nothing no balls captain. All good things must end.

There is a new draft order that supplements the District Station Supervisors duties. It changes their radio call sign from 99 to 01, 2599 now answers up 2501.
The DSS has to conduct roll calls and check the lock up 4 times. Not a big deal but each roll call is 30 minutes and a lock up check is about 15. So that is two hours away from the desk to have shit pile up.
Of course the ones who are getting screwed are the PO's. They will just have to stand there and wait until the DSS gets to them.
Sorry office I have to do roll call, then check the lock up, then check all cars outside in the lot(also in the draft), then I have to approve the a/a's, then do a watch incident log, oh yeah the XO needs this report done.
At the emergency XO/Cmdr meeting they said XO's have to approve all OT, but in the draft it says the DSS has to be notified if someone is on OT, but it doesn't say who approves it.
I'm not sure which rank they are trying to phase out, Lt, Capt or Commander. The LT is now basically a desk sgt, the XO is responsible for all the Commanders duties, so im going to guess the Commanders rank is the one they are after.
The only thing the Titanic had on us, it took under 3 hours to sink, we have been holding out a little longer, but we are heading in that direction. The final blow will be G8/Nato.
*********************************
Seriously Dude, you cant't figure this one out? The reason that the new order dictates that XO's are now responsible for all Compstat responsibilities is because all the gold stars have been calling their reverends complaining about McGruff. They do not like being embarassed in front of the other gold stars. The reverends have been complaining to TD 9.5, and he cant cut McGruffs balls off before the G8 summit (which ironically coincides with the end of the world in the Mayan calendar), so he told McGruff to find someone else that the blame can fall upon and thus they created the position of XO! See how simple it is to fu** with people.

Travel time for lunch, gone. You get a half hour to get their, eat and get back. Gps is a bitch, dont think we cant start looking at that. Time on the end, every slip gets turned in. And of course we have to be fair across the board, so I suggest you be careful what you ask for..

It will take me longer to do that report, and I will request a time due slip for that missed lunch. I will find an arrest right before check-off (cha-ching) GPS? Never scared me I'm where I'm supposed to be, unlike the captains who drive their personal cars around the district with a jacket over their white shirt, while telling the desk Sgt. ... " call me on the cell if you need me".

Listen here Mr. Captain I presume? I work midnights in a shitty district, with a misfit partner who doesn't know shit from apple butter. Lunch consist of my wife's wonderful dinner that I missed while sleeping. I prefer home-cooked meals instead greasy shit from a revolving bulletproof turnstile. 30 minutes in the station please? And… if I give you a slip, I expect you to turn it in, I don't owe you shit, you don't owe me shit! What you gonna do... send me to midnights?
Fucking birth-defects like you should be phased out, most of you, if not all... were clout promoted! I've been a Grunt all my life, it's what I do! you whining little fuck! now go wipe the shit off your chin from sucking that cock that fucked your buddies in the ass!

ugggh, I also know she passed legit, the problem is, she wanted to be the police and started a career in patrol and as sgt in area 3 which is a place of assholes and vindictive insecure coppers. As many officers have discovered if your not on the in, you never are or will be, and she never was. You view the fun, but no how much you try or emulate, you never fit in. Leave her the fuck alone, she hasn't done shit to anyone, but has been fucked with a ton. bottom line if you have worked in 024 and fought some asshole, got spit on, kicked, chased a car, whatever, she always has that officer(s) back, through completing TRRs or from IPRA or IAD beefs. So go fuck yourself, it is people like you that might make start thinking twice about backing her working officers.

Where do I start with this one.. I never said you have a certain time to do a case report. But you want me to do my job, then come clear when you finish it, not 1/2 hour later as you arrive at your lunch spot and then ask for travel time as you are ordering. But believe it or not sonny most of us over look those petty things because we know how you go from job to job on most nights. But when you start calling me to do my job well then I guess I have to look at those things you are fuckin asking for now don't I? Gsp? I don't know what that is maybe you can enlighten me.

Lt. A.S. is a meritorious Lt. She also does not have one person in the district who respects her. How the fuck can she come to work everyday when supervisors and p.o.'s thinks she needs some help when she goes all crazy with her talk and then hides behind her bars. Is she so oblivious of how many people truly dislike her. Then she has a few minutes of clarity and tries to be friendly or funny, thinking that such behavior will erase her poor people skills. She should definitely be on the list of those who never should have been promoted.

The part that most people are missing, because they are too busy bitching is that they are violating contracts at will..
You all cheer (I am actually laughing about Hoot and that prick Lenti and the 4 other Captains who walked into a room saying no, walked out saying yes, and got spots..now their asses hurt from getting fucked)

But the reason you should be scared of this is the unfair labor practices being done are frightening and are fucking everyone from Patrolman up..
The city is doing these all at once..Cheaper for them to only pay off one arbitrator to win them all...
Don't think that is why we lose every arbitration on anything big?

Second, working conditions:

You can say you push a beat car and don't do shit..fine. You're an asshole, but That is on you. A lot of the bosses now a days really don't give a fuck. It is an issue of work ethic and pride in ones work..but then again...still nothing to do with this..

The problem is you are now going to have a Sergeant, whether qualified or not, being the only one handling your police shooting...Being the only eyes that look at your arrest reports that will end up in federal court. Who do you think is going to be picked to be the SS? Do you really think it is going to be the good Sergeants that you will work for? NOPE! It will be the idiots no one wants on the street. The ones banging the commander/Captain, etc.. The ones who are afraid to be on the street and beg to let them do it.

You know that Sergeant that likes to take the CR instead of doing the right thing? He/she will be the one who is approving your TRR when you lump up pooky...

You know the one that screams like a 10-1 for a stupid traffic accident and ties down 10 cars doing traffic in the rain for BS...He/she will be the one who is in charge of all major scenes on the street.

He/she will be the one that was supposed to tell you about the wanted car at roll call but did the (10 second roll call like the douche who posted) and didn't so you get shot when you stop the jagoff for almost hitting you through a red light..

You can bitch about the bosses all you want. People like the Captains who voted for this and the Lt. who made threats on here about fucking with people (Hey asshole, the officers didn't fuck us, the City did...) but you all have to remember. They stopped paying ALL out of grade...That means for P.O.'s to Sergeant, Sergeant to LT, and LT to Captain....

They can ask me to sweep the station and I will because that is my job as long as they pay me.. But if there is something in our contract that says I get paid out of grade to sweep, guess what? I should get out of grade to do it..


Please, stop bitching at each other and realize that this is an assault on us all..

Have a good night and stay safe....
