"No Longer Approved for Purchase" (UPDATED)

They slipped this one in under the radar:
  • The uniform items described in the specifications listed below are no longer approved for purchase as of the date listed beside them. Members who currently own/possess any item listed in this directive may continue to wear that item until it is no longer serviceable. Items listed in this directive that are no longer serviceable will be replaced by an item that meets the most current uniform specification, if applicable.

And on the list:

  • Item H. U16.0122D - Vest Carrier Embroidered Patches (Rescinded 10 February 2012 by U06-04-03

    Item I. U16.0122E - Outer Garment Embroidered Patches (Rescinded 10 February 2012 by U06-04-03
Go to the Department Directives and look up Uniform and Property U06-06 for details. It's like they want to get rid of all of J-Fled's fingerprints on the Department.

UPDATE: Numerous persons are saying this is merely a "housekeeping" issue and they are clarifying the patch design and construction. The proof is the reference to another order that was issued the same day.

Don't want to get all conspiracy theory here, but does this have anything to do with the new stars that have those 'so called' chips in them that track your movement? You know so officers will actually have to wear their stars now or just another way to screw us (CW- the new inspector former rat)has to be per her pants excited about this.

An idea that made perfect sense in the unpredictable and violent world of the police officer. Let's have badges that can be torn off during the g8, that must have come from the brain trust or perhaps McLush thought that one up in Dugans at 3 in the am in the morning and scrawled it on a beer stained coaster.

Thats not J-Feds creation. Every other Department out there has sew on patches and vest covers.

They way to remove J-Feds stink is:
-Fire his ass.
-Remove him from IL.
-Give Officers a REAL experienced leader voted in by the rank and file. No ballerina, or stuttering prick, Mayor should be in charge of deciding who should lead a Police Department. They dont understand what we need to operate. Fear tactics dont work.
-Clean house by removing the clouted/appointed ones with criminal backgrounds.
-Get rid of any boss that didnt stand up to him.
-Remove his pics from Department walls.
-Anyone who took a D.C. ceremony pic with him, photo shop a former real boss in his place or Chuck Norris (He's just cool).
-Give Cozzi a $100,000,000 check and Department apology for being Fed Fucked.
-Make it a unbreakable rule to not hire a Fed to do our job and vise versa. No one should ever be placed in charge of anything they have zero experience doing.

Anybody else see the Ch. 2 report on 5 o'clock news yesterday about a lawsuit filed against officers on videotape allegedly roughing up a black guy with a video camera taping police activity around State/Pearson I think? It showed a sgt. allegedly making nice to a white guy w/a camera, then shows the sgt. allegedly going after the black guy with the camera?

It was the lead story. I only caught it because I was watching Judge Judy before it--how come only the tv judges 'get it'?

She said "What a country" after some guy said he'd been getting $1000/month disability for nerve damage and his kid got $800/month for some reason...claimed he couldn't sit for long periods--JJ asked him how he sat on the plane to get there. She said nerve damage is ridiculous--he could still do something with his brain!

I wish we had judges in Cook County like the tv judges!

I am extremely resistant to signing my name to any arrest report, since I will likely not be the person making the arrest.

I wish the union would come up with a standard disclaimer we could use in any narrative. Or suggest a standard beat or complainant. I say we should put McBeer on all arrest reports.

I can make up my own, but there should be a standard to protect det's from lawsuits based solely on their name being on an arrest report, and all det's should be notified.

Can you imagine getting 50 lawsuits thrown at you? I've never been involved in a mass arrest procedure before and have no idea how it's handled in real life...not just some outdated G.O.

Hey guys - a little bit of information about RFID chips. they are *not* GPS, so you can't be tracked anywhere you go. What the bosses can do is track when you're doing in and out the door of the station or anywhere else they put up a reader.

But, what you really want to do is go read all the stuff about breaking the RFID in passports. The same stuff will work just fine on the star

A clever knockoff will be fabricated and the one with the chip will be compromised somehow. Probably by the simple wear and tear of taking it on and off. Vanecko Star Technologies LLC. will get the contract for the new stars and the service. But of course if you are a HAIRGELL,you never take your star off and just in case you are at the beach have a star tattooed on your chest and rarely if ever take your driving gloves off either. The only part of this job a hairgel don't like is checkoff time or rollcall when he can't wear an MP3 in his ear.

I don't understand why a lot of you people have a problem with the city wanting to know where you are when you are at work? They have a right to know. We are employees and the city is our employer. That being said I don't think the new stars have gps in them. They would not be allowed to track our movements off duty. The supreme court just said that a court order is needed to put a tracker on a vehicle, I would think the same applies here.

What is " servicable" and what is not will not be defined by the owner of the garment. The brass, namely, your commander will determine if your garment is servicable. When they tell you it is not, you will no longer be able to wear that garment or to replace it with like product. Do you really think that it would remain up to you to determine if you can continue to wear any uniform item?

I always preferred cops to look like cops. The guys in uniforms with patches instead of badges don't look like cops to me. Maybe that is why the change.

Or maybe there is some money to be made by someone connected. Who knows in Chicago.

I can see why one might not want to wear a badge where it can be grabbed in a riot though. But, there are all kinds of other things attached to cops that a rioter might potentially grab too.

A lot of damage could be done by grabbing onto a helmet, for example.

Not a cop.

Gps is a whole different technology and it requires a power source so either they are gonna have us walking around with huge battery packs to power them or maybe we can have a long extension cord.

We have to obfuscate the fact that Sears is cutting 100 positions so IMO this PNC krap hit the media this AM.

Here's the thing.

The Sears Jobs we lost today, right now.

The 200 PNC Jobs? Well when you read past the headlines that's 200 jobs BY THE END OF 2013!!

Who's gonna be checking to see if they lied two years from now? Do you think that anyone will remember?

Oh, and another thing. Rahm is talking about these jobs being profession positions. HA, I guess that's what a bank teller is called by the politicians.

Nevertheless think about it. Three new bank branches create 200 jobs? 67 people per branch? Gonna be pretty crowded in those branches....unless of course we're talking part-time jobs so the bank doesn't have to offer healthcare and other bene's.

Don't let 'em fool ya. The media is pumping out the feel good election hype on the economy like there is no tomorrow.

Can you repeal his election if he tries to fire you for breaking the law?

This is a perfect example of a complete city worker mentality with absolutely no connection to the real world. This man's mind has turned to mush by being a city worker.

Here's a tip. If Cozzi just quit when he was suspended for two years and found something else to do with his life, he would have never been charged. But, if the standard is that you can't be fired unless you're convicted, be damn sure they will do everything they can to convict you when they want to fire you.

Instead, you want us to give him money? Like I said, total mush.

Your passport has one. Maybe one of your credit cards.
They can be shielded with aluminum or alloy sheath to prevent unauthorized scanning of personal info with a reading device. This is not emerging technology they've been around for years. Basically used for logistics.

There is NOT GPS but there is an RFID tag. The FEDs just nailed Watts. There was a tracking device in the brown paper bag. The tracking device was basically a RFID tag. How the technology works:

When you purchase an item at Walgreens and you exit the store sometimes there is a device on or in your product called an RFID tag. It looks like a sticker. They usually place it adjacent the UPC bar so when an employee scans the UPC code it simutaneoulsy deactivates the RFID tag. We have all had it happen to us where the clerk rings up a customer and he/she pays, exits the store and the alarm goes off. That is an RFID alert. No touching the bag or item but it gets picked up by the sensors at the door and sets off the alarm.

So how does the RFID work for our stars? When you take out your new star it will be RFID-equipped and programmed to your personal information. It will be secure and can only be read with a password by the reader. The same technology is what lets us enter our police stations at the door of the newer stations along with an access code. That is an RFID card.

Some departments have their stars set up same with RFID and their stars will let them in the building with their PIN as our cards do with our PIN or employee ID#. Some also have it set to where when the officers gets close to the "punch clock" it logs them in so all they do is stand there and enter their PIN which basically logs them in/out for tour of duty.

Ours will work on similar technology except it will be tied into Verizon's network. That is who has the PDT contract with City of Chicago. So how the technology will work is the cell towers will send out a "ping" which will use triangulation to determine the location of the RFID device at any given time. The devices we will have will be "passive" devices and won't be battery powered. It's new technology so I don't expect most of us to understand how it works as of yet. So is it GPS? Not by definition as that stands for Global Positioning System which will work anywhere on the planet with government satellites. This is a similar concept just using cell towers by Verizon. So if you are in Mexico with your star the system won't see you so to speak. Will it work if you are in Texas for example? I am guessing so if the network searches there. An RFID blocking wallet will do the trick though. And yes, that is why the department is X-ing the embroidered patches of the police stars and quite frankly I am just surprised they don't make us get rid of them altoghether.

So yes boys and girls they can track the police stars off duty anytime. From the departments stand point it's department issued equipment giving them the legal right to track it at all times. So don't panic. When at work they got ya on the radar: CAR is GPS, the radio is GPS and the star will surely be required to be on your prescence while at work I am sure if not already in the G.O.s now. Just remember if you carry your gun they will probably ask if you had your star w/you. I am not sure if it's required or not but either way just get an RFID blocking wallet or insert and you will be fine. Trust me on this.

Incidentally our radios are GPS-equipped now. The curly-corded Motorolas have the GPS in the mics. You can Google the radio model and see for yourself on the website.

Also while I am at it the "Passenger Side" air bag detector is synched in with the GPS in the car. How does it work? When you have your partner in the passenger side seat the air bag WILL deploy in event of an accident. When the seat is vacant the air bag WON'T deploy. That information is logged and stored on the car's black box BTW So it shows you either had a person in that seat or didn't. When 10-99 it should show it. When 10-4 same. Parnter missing with "two on the end" and not logged it will now show here shortly. Same if you give an unauthorized ride in the front seat.

Oh, and the new stars with RFID may or may not have batteries. They have "passive" and "active" RFID devices. Ours will probably be "passive" or non-battery powered. Furthermore, even if they have batteries it may be like a watch battery and have a long service life. The stars don't cost much to make in reality so they could be disposable to where the departments has you turn it in every 5 years or something like for reservicing. Again the stars aren't GPS. It's RFID tracking. Believe whatever you guys want. I see half believe they track you and half don't. The stars are meant to be tracked via Verizon network.

This is my third post on this. I found the information on Verizon's website. So all you conspiracy theorist about the department tracking you are correct. All you guys who think we are all crazy and worried about the "black helicopters" read this link. This is FROM VERIZON. I hate to knock coppers in general but this is NOT a new technology as one stated but it's a twist a an "old" (in electronic terms) but it's a new application. I don't expect all to "get it". Who would have ever thought you could talk on a cell phone 30 years ago? Now little kids have them. HDTVs? Etc..

So again: It's not GPS by definition; it's RFID working triangulation on Verizon's network determining your location. So you can say it's like GPS but it's not. Bottom line is your star's location can be tracked anywhere at all times.

Why do we need RFID stars. The Blackington website makes it seem like police impersonators are everywhere and the civilian world is populated with RFID readers.

How much did the PD spend on GPS units for the cars?

1980.00 does not include modem, shop supplies, or labor

How much on in-car camera?
4,000.00 Not including labor, mics, training.

Gun shot detectors?
4-million DOLLARS

The gun shot detectors are no longer budgeted for repairs, they must all be broke like the in-car cameras.

Exempts, stop buying this shit. It does not last or work.

Also, the RFID badges would be nice for station access, but, every station has a differnt access control computer and hardware. Therefore, I do not belive the new badges are for access control. The use of these new badges with the added cost makes not sense.

The stars with the "tracking" chips cannot really track you the way it is being portrayed. The chips are RFID chips. They work the same way an ID card does that is used to swipe an electronic door to unlock it. The ID card too contains an RFID chip. They are not some micro GPS transmitter.

They can be used to swipe in and out at a reader, if readers are installed. Usually, they have to be in close proximity to the reader to work.

Those of you who are worried you'll be tracked on and off-duty shouldn't be. The chips are most likely going to be used to authenticate a star and for inventory purposes.

I think the best way to check if New stars have chip in them is to stick it up your ass and ask your mayor if he can still see you on his monitor. And if he doesn't ask him to pull it out with gigantic electromagnet....there is no GPS there, it requires power source, antena and chip at bare minimum. At best and I doubt it it has a chip with your name, employee number,star number to authenticate it . Kind of like ones we use for our pets.

They do make stars with chips in them but its not gps its just like the chip they put in dogs. You can scan it and tell if the star is ligit. I dont know if this is what the city bought but they are out there. The uniform changes do not stop us from having sew on patches or ball caps you have to read the order they just made cosmetic changes, and for the record we are now a 4 ring circus on for each star on that fucking flag

Not true regarding supreme court ruling in this situation. The department would not be tracking you off duty. They would be tracking their equipment like the car or radio. Nothing says we are required to carry star off duty.
