CompStat Weasel Words
Guess what words are NOT going to be used in reports anymore? (CLICK on the picture for a full size image):
And we quote:
And we quote:- Effective immediately, the terms "Aggravated Battery" and "Homicide" are strictly forbidden. The terms "Shooting" and "Murder" will be used in lieu of the previous terms. The terms "Aggravated Battery" and "Homicide" will be treated like the "N" word. If a subject is severely beaten, stabbed bludgeoned, etc..., but does not die, we say he was the victim of a beating, stabbing bludgeoning, etc. This is in effect for written reports as well as oral reports such as Compstat. Please ensure this directive is passed on to your XO's and all personnel.
Pardon our French, but what the hell is this about? Has anyone mentioned that "Aggravated Battery" and "Homicide" are legal words and definitions written into Illinois statute and codified by the Legislature in the ILCS? Are we going to start charging people with "Shooting" now?
Will someone at the 35th Street brain trust please explain?

Effective immediately all reports will be written at a fifth grade level. Also you will no longer use any words containing more than 6 letters without a supervisors approval.
Illinois Compiled Statutes are the law here, not some office game called CompStat.
J-FLED:
GOOGLE coward and Weis for 9.33 million hits.
Take it to your grave, you yellow-bellied muthafucka.
"The terms 'Aggravated Battery' and 'Homicide' will be treated like the "N" word".
What if I spell and annunciate them as "AggravatA BatterA" and "HomicidA", respectively?
Seems to work with other words oftentimes considered 'taboo'. At least in certain circumstances and company ;-)
What exactly is the "N" word ?
just goes to show how fuckign stupid the command of this sinkng ship is!!!!
This department is fucking doomed with idiots like this......Hey Chief Patterson have you looked at the ILCS, it is Aggravated Battery and Homicide.......YOU FUCKING TOOL......
who was the author of that idiotic statement?
can't we just stick to honoring gang bangers with their city stickers???
we are doomed
Overheard at the desk.. "Uh, sarge? There's no classification/UCR code for "shooting"."
Overheard at IPRA... "Officer, why did you call this African-American man "agg batt"? "
Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does.
So is using the phrase "N Word" now acceptable in reports, roll calls, etc??? Did an exempt actually use this in an official email? If so he just precedent for term the "N Word" to be used without raising an eye brow or from fear of discipline.
This analogy from an exempt is the perfect example of members being triple promoted due to reverend connections and educated within the Chicago Public School system their entire life. What a moron Patterson is!
What a f'd up city we live in!
Between this idiotic directive, (or order, or whatever the fuck it is) and the city sticker comedy, I both at once laughing and crying. What the fuck type of intelligence is in this minds of the people who run this city or department?
There has got to be an even more descriptive way of saying, un-fucking believable, but I haven't found it, yet.
Between the press, city hall and 35th/Michigan, there are more morons running around then could possibly be counted.
What is going on in this department? Everything is upside down and backwards. It's like a joke at this point. Help please.
Joe Patterson was a hanger on in the 009th district as a "tact guy". He was as dumb then as he is now.
Squad give me the UCR Code for a Battery with a murder on the side.
Rahm, Gerry, please demote this clout hack immediately. We are watching your action or inaction intently. Show the exempts that a standard must be maintained.
So now official police reports should sound more like the terminology that the media uses for stories now? This department is done.
You need to redact the name on the upper right hand of the picture. It's on the folded over sheet.
Liberal code words are the order of the day. From now on when someone robs you, you were just giving a donation or redistributing your wealth to those less fortunate.
My God. When will you people take the time to register and then vote these idiots out of office? Even the gang bangers got organized and squeeze these politicians so that they benefit.
Is the number of registered voters with the FOP membership still at 23%?
"Homicide" please....
We have jumped the shark!
So "Aggravated Battery" and "Homicide" will be treated like the "N" word, huh?
Does this mean only those of 'African' descent can say such controversial words?
Will the occasional Caucasian (gonna coin a new word right now with SCC as witness - "Caucasional") rapper that thinks he's black because he went to a CPS school be exempt from repercussions for dropping the "AB" and/or "H"-Bombs?
Boy, am I ever confused.
Oh my God, this place is a fucking JOKE! Does anyone still have that number for Truck Masters? I might need that.
this is joke, right?
Easy answer. Just like back in the day when you were told by your sergeant to make a burglary a theft, aggravated battery a simple battery, etc. Using "softer words" will make these crimes seem less than what they are. In a few years Clint Eastwood will be doing a commercial about Chicago instead of Detroit during the Super Bowl halftime.
N word? Non working nutty non com nitwit not a cop nevermore never mind not sustained new York. New Jersey nerd no overtime new unit ....you guys at the Ivory tower are NUCKING FUTTS. LIMT (east)
And this is part of the team preparing us for G8. Oh man are we fucked .. Aint clout wonderful
A "homicide/Agg Battery" money jar will sit in the Watch commander's....er.... damn... Station Supe's office (that cost me a dollar)
Anyone using "homicide," "Agg Battery," "Watch Commander," "Desk sergeant" or "Second City Cop blog" will be charged $1
Rahm wants to balance the budget
Well we changed drug "gangs" to drug "crews" a few months back didn't we? It's not to difficult to figure out.
It's multipurpose.
1. Chicago is less likely to show up as having a gang/homicide/Agg batt. problems in a Google search if you don't use those words.
2. Pro-Forma accounting. Break a generalized category down into all of it's sub-components because it's unlikely that all of them will rise and fall in unison. You can then cherry pick the good numbers for each report and add a footnote saying the results are pro-forma ( the bad numbers are taken out and we pretend "as-if" they never happened. Pro-forma == "as-if"
3. Changing the names will make it more difficult with year over year comparisons.
SO what do you put down is someone was first beaten, then stabbed, then shot? Can't use agg batt right?
Guess we'll just have to count stuff like that multiple times that's all.
Das Ist Verboten! Und nicht mit 'Chicago Style' anything. Und nicht mit 'Rugby' anything . Und nicht mit 'Chicago Bears' anything...und nicht mit...Mein Furher Kein Aggravated Batteries have occurred. Really... the some- antics are so important to this goof? Once again I wonder where are the Exempts to counter-balance this bullshit? We are truly lost if this is the managerial imperative....Anarchists, it's all yours!
Look at his murder stats. He has stats from Jan-Nov of 2010 and Jan-Nov of 2011. What the fuck happened to December? What calender is he using?
Did Shaggy from fucking Scooby Doo put this one out? Really!! What the fuck is going on with this department?
What's the N word? Norwegian?
Heh...so the CPD brass is taking a page out of the "Communications with Inmates For Dummies" book I see.
Code talk.
Next order will likely be to replace the letter "E" in your correspondence with the number "3" giving it a backward "E" appearance.
The letter "S" will be replaced with the number "5" "To", "too", and "two" will become "2".
There are so many cleaver choices that I can't list them all here however if you use them wisely none of the CPD's dirty laundry will be found by a search engine because no-one is spelling the terms you're talking about right.
A "beating" become a "b3at!ng".
A "stabbing" becomes a "5ta66!ng"
A "Hate crime" becomes a "H8 crim3"
Looks like another ribbon for a drop in crime!!!! Hell, crime will be damn near non existent. And the press will drink up rahms kool aid and never report the hell is really happening. Move along, nothing to see here!!!!
TRANSPARENCY ??
The exact issue that was mentioned by the authors of that Compstat book.
Transparency.
This is not transparency Mr. Mayor.
Ok..... But what sense does this make?? Just asking
Huh? Surely they gest.
McDrunkin and his policy group (drunken sgt) drank too much Jameson's.
For reporting writing, could I type in this for primary and secondary classifications:
Hurt / Real Bad.
This is totally unbelievable coming from our leadership. Shame on you Patterson!
Oh, I believe it's been passed on Joe.
The N word?? Good lord.
SCC said "Will someone at the 35th Street brain trust please explain?"
-
Sorry, SCC, that can't happen. There IS NO braintrust at 35th.
Written reports, huh??
I guess we will be changing all IUCR codes too.
All these terms are very confusing for the HMFIC.
They don't do this in New York.
Soooooo.......11,000 (and I am being generous)will change 200 years of tradition, nonetheless legal verbage, for 1 person.
THAT MAKES SENSE!!!
Can I get 2 event numbers for this one?
Idjits want to make things look better when in actuality things are much, much worse than they seem to be at first glance.
Will someone explain to this: New York Idiot that it is written everywhere in our laws in Illinois, as well as in the General Orders and AIRA!
Is this guy just that stupid! Does he believe like Rahm believes that he can strong arm Springfield?
Hey Supt. Go have another beer at the Bulls game and shut the fuck up!
Da Pelon
"Would not a rose by any other name smell as sweet." (Shakespeare).
If Patterson was serious about comparing this nonsense to the "n" word, then he's lost his mind from drinking way too much kool-aid. Or, by this ridiculous exaggeration, he's sending a clear message to McGoofy that he thinks he's nuts. Either way, McGoofy looks like a goof.
Omg.. This has got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of. First of all, we don't have any other things more important to worry about? Second, what is going to happen to anyone that uses the terms? Wtf
The term "death" will now be replaced with the term "extremely sleepy."
Just put "A-B word" on the case report for the classification. You'll wow 'em in court.
I can see the all calls now, "Wanted in connection with an H-word."
Although the term homicide is sometimes used synonymously with murder, homicide is broader in scope than murder. Murder is a form of criminal homicide; other forms of homicide might not constitute criminal acts. These homicides are regarded as justified or excusable. For example, individuals may, in a necessary act of Self-Defense, kill a person who threatens them with death or serious injury, or they may be commanded or authorized by law to kill a person who is a member of an enemy force or who has committed a serious crime. Typically, the circumstances surrounding a killing determine whether it is criminal. The intent of the killer usually determines whether a criminal homicide is classified as murder or Manslaughter and at what degree.
Who is Patterson? And shouldnt it be addressed verbiage not language ?!?!?!?!??
Effective immediately all reports will be written at a fifth grade level. Also you will no longer use any words containing more than 6 letters without a supervisors approval.
Hey! I resemble that...!
The sun-times
please lift the residency so i dont have to live in and work in shitghetto...
you have to pander to the mutts most of the city is...detroit 2.
Not only are the words aggravated battery and homicide used in the ILCS they are also the words that the FBI uses to track index crimes. Maybe the incompetent goofs running this department haven't heard of the Uniform Crime Report (UCR). Gangbangers drawing city stickers and political hacks running a big city police department. This city is a bigger joke now than when the old mongloid (mumbles Daley) was in charge of this shit hole.
Hundreds of words that start with n. Does he mean n as in Not a good idea to let chicago's youth draw it's city sticker?
It's probably because murder & shooting are easier to spell. What a bunch of idiots.
"Oh my God, this place is a fucking JOKE! Does anyone still have that number for Truck Masters? I might need that."
Top Gun reference, things really are bad!
Wow! This is just what the writers were talking aqbout in the book "t
The Crime Numbers Game: Management by Manipulation"
If you create sub-catagories, each one will show a reduced number. Exactly the type of accounting tricks that have brought down major cooporations over the years. Its FRAUD in the privater sector. In the context of Large Metropolitan Police Management it is FRAUD disguised as genius. We are about to see a drastic reduction in crime AS IT IS REPORTED. Pro Forma Accounting destroyed ENRON.
For case reporting. Hurt / Real bad. That's a good one, funny.
who are the morons behind this? seriously? stupid from beginning to end. How in the world these people think this will fly when the ILCS is different!? stupidity from infinity and beyond. Get ready for lawsuits because the ILCS doesn't match what the idiots want us to do. I guess to the victim's is big "fuck you." All for the number games.
As a V.C. detective, I compose my own paper. Not my Non-King's-English speaking Cmdr. I testify to my own paper. If they don't like it, I'm going to have one helluva late list. And no, I won't follow some nonsense made up directive sent out on some Merit's Blackberry. How about an email banning "HOMOCIDE" in Box One of a GOCR. If I had a for nickel every time I corrected that. Now, that'd be sumthin.
12:28 am...01:01 am....thanx for the laugh guys/gals. Good stuff.
I read this while sitting in my Radio Motor Patrol(RMP) car, then headed into my Precinct to get verification from the Commander and then confirmed through the deputy Chief at the Borough. I told them both that the next perp I collared would be charged accordingly to the memo.
Reading this, I laughed so hard it caused me to experiance an uncontroled evacuation of my bladder resulting in the saturation of my lower clothing items, interior and exterior, figuratively speaking.
Let's remember where this order started, not with Patterson, but with the NYC idiots sitting at the Comstat meeting. It's become the policy of this department to cave into the ways of 3 east coast morons because they know better than anyone how things should be. Here's an idea McDoofus - you fucks should learn to adapt to us.

See Detroit at least can host a super bowl, unlike Shitcago with its fore thinking ex mayor.
Its just a play with words. Now the real games begin.
SCC said "Will someone at the 35th Street brain trust please explain?"
-
Sorry, SCC, that can't happen. There IS NO braintrust at 35th.
if I only had a brain...
It's called, micro-semantics and occurrence flattening.
Homicides and Aggravated Batteries numbers will be eliminated, but we will have some smaller numbers in a few murder categories, shooting categories, beating categories, stabbing categories, bludgeoning categories, hanging categories, intentionally leveled by motor vehicle categories, etcetra. The category and sub-category possibilities are near-endless.
Take the numbers from two bad stats and divide them amongst 7+ new categories that each have sub-categories and shazaam! Things look better!
Remember, numbers never lie, just the artists that craft them!
Putting Patterson in that spot was a good thing, or so most thought it was. Didn't take him long to become a babbling idiot. Maybe the same person who used to send out DTEB's missives is now working for Joe.
Just goes to show you the Department will stop at nothing to cover-up STAT'S.
Homicide and Aggravated Battery are IUCR recordable offenses per FBI statistic gathering. Even though they don't use the numbers generated by the CPD (and this is an example of why) the numbers get recorded. Murder, shooting and bludgeoning are generalized terms and can be classified as general violent crime. Is it compstat number massaging? You betcha! McMush and the raccoon need to spin the violence down. We don’t need to hire cops or promote supervisors, crime is down, crime is down. Look! Look at our numbers. Our bludgeonings, simple shootings and dirk carrying are at record lows. If reported as homicides and aggravated batteries… the numbers would show their lies.
Suburban copper again......WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THE CITY???????? Weather the storm, hopefully your in the eye of it.
The Three Stooges from New York are to STUPID to figure out what the State of Illinois UCR codes are. So lets change the entire Department to please these morons.
Is it April 1 or just a slow news day?
Rahm, Gerry, please demote this clout hack immediately. We are watching your action or inaction intently. Show the exempts that a standard must be maintained.
2/08/2012 12:34:00 AM
////////////////////////////////////////////////
FYI; this came out because of McCarthy. Patterson is the messenger don't shoot him.
At the top of each police report are boxes indicating offense and IUCR code. The code for homicide is 0110 and the code for aggravated batteries is 0440 among others. IUCR stands for Illinois uniform crime report. How many changes will CPD have to make and still comply with Illinois state standards? OH, Sorry our leadership doesn't comply with the rest of the state.
Wait a minute...
What the New York term for Homicide and Agg. Battery??
Is that what's this is about?
What's next eight point uniform caps?
I thought homicide was a general term used mostly for the purpose of an on-going investigation. How many murder cases will be thrown out because the UCR pulled already implied a murder? Have our "leaders" ever taken a law class?
Does that mean that only black command staff members will be able to use words like Homicide and Agg Battery.
NYPD Here. This has to be a joke. What an embarrassment.
For reporting writing, could I type in this for primary and secondary classifications:
Hurt / Real Bad.
2/08/2012 04:19:00 AM
I just shat a little bit. Good one.
Was old Joe in a drunken stupor? Why not make all case reports "non-criminal" who gives a fuck anymore? Another way to kill crime, just say it is not happening, kind of like when the U.S. took on Iraq and the goofy press guy was telling Iraq citizens all is well,as the bombs landed behind him!
Its no wonder that the Chicago Police Department is a laughing stock in the law enforcement community in Illinois and the country. What a joke. This is what happens when people are promoted because of who they know and what race they are. Its a shame the the once proud Chicago Police department has come to this . And by this i mean a circus!
Another fucking reason to hate these jagoffs from NY. What the matter can't get your head around new terms (to you) so you make all of us bend over for your new york PD terms? Ahh another reason most of us are waiting and possibly helping in our own way to watch you fail.
When do all of the signs that say Welcome to Chicago get changed to "Welcome to Sherwood Forest"?
I understand the concept of Robin Hood, but these gang bangers are no where near the definition.
Did a deputy chief of the Chicago Police Department really put that in an official email. Really? Seriously? He couldn't think of another comparison. He puts it in quotes too. The leadership on this department is a joke. He should be demoted immediately. This guy can't put an educated paragraph in an email and we are supposed to follow him. We are doomed. I honestly give up and don't care anymore.
This is a front page
NEWS ITEM !!!!
As much as I dispise the current media hacks....
only a fool would ignore this blatant arrogance from command.
What do you write when a person above the age of 73 gets struck with a hammer?
Old person bludgeoned by a tool?
Our state laws are written with specifics.
WOW !!!!
Without the use of the legal terms Homicide and Aggravared Battery
I guess our crime rate in those two categories will drop to zero.
Good one for the crime killers.
we lost the war
Boo Boo on the noggin making him go BYE BYE ?

Roll out that Master Plan for G8...
the suspense is killing me!
This is obviously done to manipulate compstat statistics. I heard a This American Life episode about the guy in NY PD who taped his superiors ordering him to fudge crime reporting statistics. Basically, studies have shown where compstat goes in, crimes reporting gets manipulated.
Story can be heard here:
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/414/right-to-remain-silent
The story went in the Village Voice, here:
http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-05-04/news/the-nypd-tapes-inside-bed-stuy-s-81st-precinct/
nut graph here:
They reveal that precinct bosses threaten street cops if they don't make their quotas of arrests and stop-and-frisks, but also tell them not to take certain robbery reports in order to manipulate crime statistics. The tapes also refer to command officers calling crime victims directly to intimidate them about their complaints.
As a result, the tapes show, the rank-and-file NYPD street cop experiences enormous pressure in a strange catch-22: He or she is expected to maintain high "activity"—including stop-and-frisks—but, paradoxically, to record fewer actual crimes.
Joe Patterson is a great guy, this did not come from him, it came from the NY brain trust; Joe could have used a better analogy though.
how about......New York...can go to hell?.....how's that, for there compstat, crime stats, whatever they do there....
Maybe the "N" word stands for New York!
I would hope this was just Patterson passing along the message from Mc stupid as a way of showing everybody what an idiot he is
"Effective immediately, the terms "Aggravated Battery" and "Homicide" are strictly forbidden. The terms "Shooting" and "Murder" will be used in lieu of the previous terms. The terms "Aggravated Battery" and "Homicide" will be treated like the "N" word."
Fine.
What do we do when the legal system stops completely?
Idiot.
There is an order coming out shortly that only detectives will be able to classify a crime as a homicide. All dead bodies will get an rd# for a death investigation regardless of the cause of death. This is just a way to hide the actual number of homicides for months sometimes even years
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program was conceived in 1929 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police to meet a need for reliable, uniform crime statistics for the nation. In 1930, the FBI was tasked with collecting, publishing, and archiving those statistics. Today, several annual statistical publications, such as the comprehensive Crime in the United States, are produced from data provided by nearly 17,000 law enforcement agencies across the United States.
Except Chicago because they have refused to conform with reporting crime in the manner established by the FBI. I think until Chicago conforms to the FBI's crime reporting proceedure all Federal aid to Chicago should be suspended. Time to put an end to the arrogance of the city of chicago.
A concerned citizen who wants the real numbers not the horse shit coming out of city hall that all the media outlets eat it up like it's Maine Lobster. If it taste like, smells like and looks like horse shit then it's is horse shit. Maybe it's the koolaid they use to wash it down that makes it taste like Maine Lobster. You reporters wouldn't make a pimple chicago police investigators ass.
I think a lot of people are hinting at exactly what is going to happen. This is just a way for them to show less crime is happening. New categories for certain crimes and all homicides will be death investigations.
I never thought I'd use the words "genius" and "Jfled" in the same sentence....but here I go:
McDrunk makes jfled look like a genius. Whew. That was tough!

Comment of the year!!!!!!
Has any MSM covered the expose book on Compstat yet?
This sounds like a suggestion from the civilian director of R and D. She often was disgusted that CPD uses the word homicide rather than murder. Not sure why she was so against it. After all our state law dictates what it is called. Why don't we just change everything to suit one persons personal preference?
Easy answer. Just like back in the day when you were told by your sergeant to make a burglary a theft, aggravated battery a simple battery, etc. Using "softer words" will make these crimes seem less than what they are.

2/08/2012 01:06:00 AM
I think this is more the preference of liberal civilian exempt staff who also happen not to respect the CPD or law enforcement. They have posted reports on CPD's site calling homicides murders for years. Guess they got fed up and ordered Patterson to stop us from using the legal terms. In their eyes everything we do and are is wrong and must be reformed or straightened out because we are Neanderthals.
Thou shalt get biblical on yon vocabulary.
Sayeth thee...
"For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”"
Romans 13:9
Scribe that into an ARIA report
A key word that pretty much every post is stating or alluding to is the word statistics. If you think about who is in charge of the stats for this dept then you have a good idea where this came from. Hint, it's not McJersey or Patterson. Shame on them though for not using critical thinking before agreeing to this.
A 1980's Special Directive forbade use of the words Rape, Incest, Sodomy and Murder. Brzeczek was Supt. and the Homicide rate in the 11th District actually accounted for one percent of the nation's Homicides. No B.S.
WTF?
Eeeeeeeee-Fucking-Gads!
OK... Let's just operate on the assumption the the entire exempt echelon of CPD needs a re-boot.
3510 has devolved into pre-school with guns if "Weasel-Word-Gate has any credence.
The collection of overpromoted, overhyped moony-assed muthafuckahs led by the main doer of Compstat Voodooin' & Witch Doctorin' are ruining a Police Department.
O_o ?
The many butt-naked, break dancing in cuffs & shackles, screamin', pissin' & shittin' muthafuckahs we dragged to the door at Hartgrove; are demonstrably SANER than our current crop of gold stars.
"Thank you Officer..."
"AHHHHHHH! I AIN'T CRAAAYYYZEEEE"

Whether bow or stern... Ain't no good seats on the Titanic no matter how loud and fast the band plays.
It is plausible that Patterson was the unwilling messenger... Time will tell.

This type of behavior from CPD Headquarters could well be the beginning of a new city scandal...the scandal known as CompStat. Violent crime in Chicago IS up...WAY UP! If this is Headquarters' solution, to simply play with words to make crime go away on paper, then brag to the media on what a great job they are doing at reducing crime...there MUST be accountablity for this breach of the public trust!
The citizens of Chicago have a RIGHT to know the TRUTH about the incredible amount of violent crime in this city, and to know when it is INCREASING, as it is definitely doing now. When Exempt Members of the CPD CONSPIRE TOGETHER to lie about the true crime statistics, that is failure to provide "honest services." If that law is still on the books, then these exempts should be investigated by an outside agency, and probably indicted, to face Federal Prison.
The taxpayers of Chicago are PAYING the salaries of these "exempts"...the "exempts" are the taxpayers' public servants. When the public servants develop an arrogant attitude, in which they LOOK DOWN UPON the taxpayers that they are sworn to serve with HONESTY and INTEGRITY, then it is time for them to Resign in Disgrace.
It is a Rule Violation not to act in accord with the goals and policies of the Department. When the goals and policies become, as it appears here, to massage the numbers so as to constantly LIE to the public about the true state of crime in Chicago, well then, it follows that the goals and policies have now been transformed by the current management team (headed by Garry McCarthy) into something devious, despicable, and unworthy of public service. In sum, they appear to be actively betraying the public trust. And, since this ultimately is probably coming from Mayor Emanuel...if this is true, then Emanuel should also be investigated and indicted for failing to provide honest services.
There is a compelling need for the public to know the truth. When the public "servants" become so arrogant and tyrannical that they deem us, the public, not worthy of being given the truth, then it is time for them to go.
Occupy City Hall!
Homicide rate will soon be zero.Aggravated battery will be zero.
But there will still be people classified
hurt/hurt bad/hurt real bad
That is really funny shit!!!
Primary classification-Killed
Secondary classification-To death
KMA member says:
KMA
From now on all firearms will be refereed to as "GATS" OR "HEATERS".
All females will be refereed to as DAMES or MOLLS.
All reports will begin with "It was a dark and stormy night!"
If you have no UCR codes, you can not count crime.
Next it will be capped or killt
Fine.
What do we do when the legal system stops completely?

So when jo-jo shoots at police and police shoot and kill Jo-Jo is this then justifiable murder? Can't wait for that to come out!
For a 'stabbing', can my report read: "the knave was run through with a bare bodkin"? It just sounds classier and a little more old school.

"Shotified" is a possibility.

A 1980's Special Directive forbade use of the words Rape, Incest, Sodomy and Murder. Brzeczek was Supt. and the Homicide rate in the 11th District actually accounted for one percent of the nation's Homicides. No B.S.

While I would not even hazard a guess as to the purpose of this inane memo, I will state that what the poster is referring to from the80's about Rape, Incest and Sodomy resulted from the change in Illinois law that placed thowe offenses from Sex Crimes to different kinds of sexual battery. That was done at the insistance of women's groups to show what they thought was the true intent, or some other such nonsense. If memory serves me correctly, it was also when CPD stopped reporting to the FBI, and instead started reporting to the Illinois State Police under Illinois Uniform Crime Reports. Part of the reasoning behind that was the facct that the FBI defines Rape as a male over 13 committing an act of penetration of a female, not his wife, by force, or something close to that, I am paraphrasing. We no longer had such a crime. I do't believe that murder was part of that directive in the 80's, but it might have been, if that is when we changed from Murder, Manslaughter, etc. to different classes of Murder. Back in the 80's, post Pam Zekman, everybody was real careful about reporting crime statistices. Nobody wanted to be raked over the coals by her or another do good reporter.
For a 'stabbing', can my report read: "the knave was run through with a bare bodkin"? It just sounds classier and a little more old school.

...anymore.

Putting Patterson in that spot was a good thing, or so most thought it was. Didn't take him long to become a babbling idiot. Maybe the same person who used to send out DTEB's missives is now working for Joe.

I remember Patterson when he was a sergeant in the Youth Office at Area Four. Nice enough guy; however, unlike myself he never passed a single promotional examination high enough to be promoted in rank order from any promotional list, ever. And someone else lost a promotion, and that someone else's family was cheated out of mom's or dad's new pay raise because it was diverted to the Pattersons, Caruthers, and Wysingers of the Chicago Police Department. Finnegan and Medzienowski stole things that didn't belong to them and they are in the penitentiary. The merit promotees stole something just as valuable and they walk freely amongst us flaunting their public school educations and writing To-Froms that make no sense.
This terminology should settle the East coast West coast rivalry.
Aggravated Battery will now be "Ass Whopping"
Murder will now be "187"
Make your adjustments and corrections accordingly!
