021 Final Photo
In what is becoming a nice tradition, anyone who served in some of the old buildings is being invited back for a photograph:
- If you know of any 21st District alum's, please pass this on.
Word I'm getting is that there will be a photo taken of the station and all present and former prairie dogs on 29 Feb. at 1300 hrs. Call the District to verify, particularly if bad weather is predicted. Please pass the word to any other lucky active and retired officers for whom you have contact information. Hope to see you there.
Good Luck.

Who cares. Get too close to that station and you might catch cancer or bring home some giant cockroaches. The building should be condemned. Lately when you walk in the main entrance you get blasted by the smell of shit, yet there's no bums in the hallway. Must stink too bad even for them.
I didnt work there but I think Ill just go get in the picture : D
Don't forget the fighting 19 @ belmont & Western goin to Addison ?

You may need to draw a map for some of the old timers to find the place........ cause the citizens sure as Hell can't find that station. Working the desk there was like the Maytag repairman!
It was a quiet district when I was there 2000-2004 when I retired. Worked with some great people there. If you found it boring there are plenty of openings in 005, 006, 007 have fun - been there. I'll take 021. Wish I could attend the photo shoot but can't convince myself to leave 80 and sunny.
Have that same photographer take a picture of the parking lot in A/1 and the inside of the 002nd District. Then send it to McBlabber Mouth and ask him where are all these extra people supposed to park and how are all these extra people in 002 going to fit inside this shitty building?
Make sure to take one with everyone giving a one finger salute and send it to tiny dancer and Mcstupid.
I hate to say this....but I just spent the last 2 weeks working Cermak to 39th/State to Halsted...and I never saw a 021 district Beat Car in Chinatown...
I only ever saw a District car sitting on 23rd Place by the school.
And It's a Laugh that they had Foot Beats when you consider how Bronzeville is set up.

29 and Prairie wasn't Hard to Find.
Its more that 90% of the denizens of that district don't talk to cops unless they are in the process of getting arrested themselves.
Or you attempt to ticket a Hyde Park Yuppie Radical that then threatens to Speed Dial Obama.
Did anyone get in touch with former 021 P.O. Don Becton?
whats going on @ 019??

I think it was your attitude that was stinking up the place !
After pictures we will be having drinks at Cork and Kerry at the park (the old jimbo's) on 33rd street. Hope to see u there. Signed bt 2111, 2133, 2123, 2168b, 2163c
Went to 021 as a rookie in '68 and returned as a sergeant in '78. Lots of good memories, lots of good cops. Sorry to see the station go down hill and then go away. But, it was really too small for todays policing and did not have any amenities for the working cops. The lockers were in the basement. I worked in Marquette ( station closed), Englewood ( station closed), Maxwell st ( station closed), Fillmore ( station closed) and now Prairie closing. Makes me feel old and nostelgic.
Hey, wait for me, I want in too! I'm sure no one would want that pic without ME in the middle of it.
.....Don't forget the fighting 19 @ belmont & Western goin to Addison?.....
They ain't going anytime soon pal!

It'll be nice to see Commander Elmer again. Easily the best boss I've had on this job. Hope you are enjoying retirement Sir!

That must be it! It wouldn't have anything to do with the backed up sewers, the broken/clogged toilets, the dead roaches and rodents, the flooded basement/locker room, and the mildewed/peeling walls. Idiot.

You must have been a white shirt. If you were pushing a beat car there in 2000 it was not quiet.

You just need to repair your bad attitude!

He doesn't really care where you park or if you can fit in the building. He's drunk right now.
Remember when you could get gas in 21? They made me pump gas on mids working lockup with Durkin. I miss Charlie Burger. The only guy I know who could do the NY times diagramless crossword puzzle.
Can I still wear my 21st district designator when I go to Ricobenes?
4:44 pm--you still come off as a pessimistic bummer. And I,m not the original poster.
Back in the day while assigned as a dick in Area 1 (002, 021 and 003), the worst part of 021 was E. 43rd St. between Drexel Blvd. and Oakenwald. While all of 002 ("The Wall" was at 43rd and Langley, just west of Cottage) and 003 was jumping, we had considerable success in the "on view" hunt for felons around 43rd and Berkeley. The mutts would all but jump into the back seat of our Crown Vic. Fun times!
I worked in 021 from 74-84..It was a nice place. Good people, both bosses and blue shirts. I remember Cmdr Michaels,Capt Sheehy, and a host of other good people...And the place didnt stink, or have roaches. (well, maybe 1 or 2). But those guys worked the wagon...lol
I hope to come in from NC for that pic. Maybe Ill see a lot of old friends!
Makes me feel old and nostelgic.

Heard TD 9.5 and McDRUNK are going to be there.

Wow. Quiet to you must be different to quiet to us. It was quiet in the early 80s, as far as projects go.

So all the projects in 021 were quiet in the early 80's? Are you really saying that? If so, I think we need to define "quiet" so we're all on the same page.
Great place to start a career in '72. O'Grady, Stokes, Corliss... IC crash. Dual radio zones.. Zone 5 with the Lummer. Good softball team, 50th on the Lake, the point, Beat 2101 and 2103. And the projects... Priceless

I certainly will second this. Jimmy Stokes, what a gentleman. Remember Capt. Deeley? Former chief of detectives? He would make you pull your pants legs up to make sure you were not wearing white socks !!

Yes, here we have the jagoff spelling police. GFU. What an asshat.
Capt Stokes!! I remember him mentioning that movers were down, and at the end of the shift the basket was overflowing with citations guys wrote "For Capt Stokes"..I never knew 1 man to have a bad word about that guy!! Same with Allen Michaels, and as far as Im concerned,O'Grady as well..He was sometimes cantankerous, but would never hurt you. He personally went out of his way a couple times for me on some serious stuff!

Your reports must have been a hoot. And you passed a promotional exam? I doubt it, unless it was held in the alderman's office. Jagbag.

I worked in 021 from 74-84..It was a nice place...
I'm glad that you can look back on your career and old friends with fond memories. I'm glad that you care enough to consider coming in from out of town. I'm glad that you're enjoying your retirement and collecting a check from them! I hope to be just like you in a few short years. I don't care how you spell. Ignore the moron that pulled THAT out of your inspiring post. God bless ya!

He's spelling-challenged and you must be reading-comprehension challenged.
Where in his post did he write he was coming from out of town? Take another look, but you will not find it. That was a different poster. Moron.
Is there any detective area of the city that you didn't work, Northside?

Yes, I passed more then one promotional exam and am now enjoying the pension. How about you? LOL. By the way, who cares how I got promoted ?

I hope the comentator is not the police. What a bad attitude!!

I spent most of my career in the Detective Division and have been assigned to five of the six areas including the old Areas 3 (Brighton Park), 4 (Maxwell St.), 5 (Shakespeare) and 6 (3801 N. Damen).
I've made arrests in all twenty-five districts (including 004, 005, 006 and 022) but I was never actually assigned to Area 2.
It was a great Chicago geography lesson from Juneway Terrace all the way out to 138th St. Maybe I should come out of retirement as a taxi driver.
On second thought, never mind.
By the way, who cares how I got promoted ?
2/22/2012 09:49:00 AM
It's pretty obvious you didn't study Chapter 38 too hard to get that white shirt. There is no statute of limitations on official misconduct. Care to confess and tell all about your phony promotions? Zap! There goes your pension and you'll be relocating to a new residence. You can be the governor's roomie, but hurry. I hear whomever gets there last has to be the catcher, however, the mask is optional.
