Station Closings Made Simple
A pretty good explanation of how the new Rahm-math works:
- Speaking of G-Mac speaking, saw him on the news talking about how by closing three police districts he was putting more police on the street. My simple question to G-Rahm is this: how?
Let's make it simple. Districts A, B, C and D each have 20 officers, total of 80, and each district covers four square miles of land, sixteen square miles total between the four districts . To save money and add more police, according to Rahm and G-Rahm, districts will close. District A is closed by G-Rahm who says that District B, C and D will now absorb equal parts of District A. Still 16 Square miles to cover.
Now G-Rahm says the 20 0fficers will be divided up to the three remaining Districts to add more police to the street. District B gets seven officers, C gets seven, D gets six. So, twenty officers are now added to the sixty officers already in the three districts covering 16 square miles. Total amount of officers covering the same 16 square miles: 80.
How is this adding more police to the street? It's a con so the city can say "well District B used to have 20 policemen, now they have 27. We gave them more." Sounds great in a soundbite. Never mention that the 7 extra officers are just covering the same amount of land that they were previously. Smoke and mirrors from G-Rahm. Simple math, it's a beautiful thing.
And all that without hiring a single police officer.

Closing police stations only makes life easier for them.
Raise the prices/tax on 40oz malt liquor & hot chips, TD 9.5 will have a major shit storm on his hands
Wow, just think of how much we could save be closing the aldermen?
That's exactly what we've been saying ever since the Raccoon and JerseyFool took over and put ONE THOUSAND officers on the street without hiring a single one!
yah... kinda funny how the "dumb blueshirts" did the same word problem in their heads and called bullshit a long time ago.
irony is the public somehow doesn't savvy rahm-math too good...
coppers are experts at ciphering weasel-words, bullshit, double-talk and making sense of madly gyrating numbers being loudly shit-sprayed by hq & city hall.
which is why they want so desperately to do away with us...
"all you dumb, high school drop out coppers do is complain! rahm is putting more cops on the beat and this is how you show gratitude? we hope he fires all of you and take your pensions away. then you'll be just like us!"
world gone mad...
Maybe they should just close those parts of the city. Let them become county land. I know, and let's start with Englewood.
The extra cops these assholes are adding are the useless fucks in the front office and sitting behind desks. Basically it's a lot of people who shouldn't have been hired in the first place. Not the swinging dicks we need out in the field...
who is tact lt in new 019 ? Hope they keep Stasch-hard charger and old school boss..
And, let's not forget, the facilities are not closing, so water, heat and electric are still being used and paid for. Savings? What savings?
But the media are dazzled and can't find a fact even when you hand them one.
Just like everything else this little bastard Racoon does he figures Chicagoans won't be able to figure out the math. McDoogle says buildings don't patrol the streets. Folks in those areas affected like having that district station so they feel they have somewhere to go to voice their concerns. The folks in power now could give two fucks less how anyone feels. All this is a shell game and WE are the losers.
I have to say, the first day in the new 019 3rd watch went pretty smooth. There were a few "23xx" transmissions on the radio, but that's to be expected. The lt. seemed nice and the former 023 people were friendly. It was strange hearing beats 1914 and/or 1935, or hearing 1951 responding to a call at Wilson/Broadway though. No Cubs traffic and it took me 30 mins to get there. I'm not looking forward to driving in that at all.
Lets close all but one. We can give everyone an ANOV and if they catch a felony bring them right to County. That way we would have 230 more POs and 40 extra Dets.
Every time the city reallocates manpower, it reminds of the old pizza joke.
A man is asked by his server in a pizza place if he wants the pizza cut into 6 pieces or 8.
He says "6. I am not hungry enough to eat 8."
Same idea, just the other way around.
And how is money saved? Belmont/Western is still open. Needs janitors, utilities and heating.
Even tho command spots were eliminated, no bosses unmade.
Think those housecats from the closed districts are not going to find ANOTHER inside spot?? Think they are hitting the street?
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need for inside staff is where gain is
Let's take a peak on the NYPD "THEE RANT" forum. Click on THEE RANT
How about that! Blogmaster "Polecat" has nearly 40,000 topics entered since he began in 2008. Check out the very first topic with a "sticky": CHICAGO'S G-8 and NATO DOUBLE CLUSTERFUCK! with well over 13,000 viewers as of midnight. If you wish to view this topic separately, click on CPD CLUSTERFUCK
You may also find the "The Schoolcraft Complaint" and the audiotape of the "home invasion" of 81st Pct. (Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant) Officer Adrian Schoolcraft's home by NYPD brass. Whistleblower Schoolcraft had filed complaints v. the NYPD for manipulating crime statistics and demanding "quota" arrests and tickets without probable cause. "Cook the books!" It's all about the numbers, "CONstat", etc. Brooklyn North Deputy Chief Michael Marino can be heard on the tape as he constantly addresses the totally rational Schoolcraft as "son". The NYPD then haul him off against his will to the psych ward of Jamaica Hospital, Queens, for six days as an "emotionally disturbed person" (EDP). Schoolcraft is suing the City of New York, the NYPD brass defendants and Jamaica Hospital for $25 to $50 million dollars. He refuses to settle, demanding a jury trial in U.S. District Court. Read and listen by clicking on SCHOOLCRAFT Can you believe this shit? A jury will.
Many thanks, Ed. God bless the NYPD.

There are no more police on the street because the districts that closed still need to be patrolled. Making bigger beats may give the illusion that more are on the street, anyone with a grammar school diploma knows that this is bullshit. The area closures will be even worse. The dicks that are forced to drive to south or central area from the north side are going to revolt and do NOTHING! I'm not a detective, but I think that these guys and gals are getting fucked even worse than the patrol division. Rham and Garry are like John Reilly and Will Ferrell in Step Brothers when they walk into the interview and the 1st thing out of their mouth is,"We're here to fuck shit up!" Job well done you two idiots!
He's talking about the inside officers of the closed districts. They will now be on the streets.
Not sure why you decided to make this a thread. Does anyone need this long winded 3rd grade explanation?
What about the inside people? Aren't they going to add to the numbers on the street? Albeit, very insignificant numbers.
shell game plain and simple.
This is one of the most ridiculous, illogical claims I've ever heard. They expect the public to swallow that?
I sure hope they hydrate them with Rahm's kool aid first.
002 more than doubled in acreage. But only three beats were added. Stacked with people for time being but give that a few years. Department is just doubling sizes of beats. Bigger beats, less cops needed. But Chicago didn't shrink.
Just like when they close firehouses there will be more fireman available right?These arrogant bastards are so full of shit it's ridiculous.
You people are just not sophisticated enough to understand. Don't think. That's what the political elite do for you. Just pay your taxes.
And the beaches were closed because it was too hot. Near the water that cools you down.

BULLSHIT!! ALL of the inside people are still in the old 019 on the desk and in the lockup!!!
OLD 019 = 9 beats
OLD 023 = 9 beats
NEW 019 = 15 beats
NEW 019, 1st Watch 05 May only 13 beats manned, 2 down cars.
Hmmm, 18 beats in the old 019 and 023 and now 13 beats up......yeah, I see how there are more coppers "on the street", yeah right!

apparently, the post wasn't simple enough for you to understand.
I saw McCarthy on a CTA train running a demonstration with three walnut shells looking for the pea. He dazzled the citizens on a train. When someone commented "This is nothing more than a shell game, don't you people believe it" they got thrown under the train.
This is nothing new. Now you see it, now you don't, watch closely, nothing up my sleeve... Voila! It's magic!
The City hasn't hired in years, officers retire every month to the tune of 50-60 a month and the number of officers on the street continues to go up. Sure they do, I get it.
Soon we will have a unit like they had in WWII in the Russian Army. They will stand in back of us with rifles and shoot the first ones to retreat. Then they announce the glorious victory as our valiant officers continue to bring crime down/
Meanwhile the Medical Section is crowded with IOD's.
Stay safe and do not believe anything you are told by our leaders. Believe only your own lying eyes.

Same thing happened around 25 years ago when Pam Zekman reported that some beats across the city weren't being manned, not enough officers. The city eliminated beats and made the remainder larger. Then the city announced that all beats were manned. Same old shit.
Today in the "New" 019 two beat cars are down on days. Two beat cars not manned in the land of sky high real estate taxes. The citizens beef on the police for speeding to calls but Rahm and McCarthy get passes for lying to them.
New 019, three fewer beats and now down 2 additional beats. That is 5 beat cars down from last week. Welcome to Rahm Emanuel's version of newspeak, ala 1984. George Orwell was a prophet. Less is more. Watch out for cameras.
An old timer was 100% correct years ago when he told me, "kid, it's all bullshit."
He's talking about the inside officers of the closed districts. They will now be on the streets.
So.........to get the inside dollies outside you closed district stations?
Makes perfect CPD sense.
Of course we're using voo-doo numbers. It works so well for a large percentage of the public that have been conditioned into not questioning authority. Why not!
They would never lie or mislead us! Right? Want another example?
Illinois Adds 3,800 Jobs in January -- 122,900 Private Sector Jobs Added Since Recovery Began in Jan 2010
That fairy tale creates the feeling of growth, opportunity, and a brighter future for many.. Hey look ma, the economy is turned around they said the word 'recovery', and we're creating new jobs!!!
Yipee the Illinois budget is on the road to recover too!! HA,,yeah right.
We hear the word Jobs and it makes us think of the 40 hour a week kind, the living wage get off the dole kind.
We hear "new jobs" and think it's "additional jobs" to the old jobs -- that total employment is going up and it's not just a churning of the workforce to lower wages and benefits.
We assume too much and the leaders play on those assumptions.
Problem is this...
One would expect that these new jobs are paying individual income taxes right? So why isn't the money showing up in the State revenue collection?
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Illinois monthly revenue report for Jan 2012
Let's take a peek.
There is a table in that report that is very telling.
I ask how well are we doing compared to previous years and the so-called good ol' days of three years ago.
On the last page, page number 5 there is a nice table that summarizes Illinois tax revenue collections.
Oh my look at that!
When we compare the FY 2011 YTD to the FY 2012 YTD numbers we see a whopping 64.9% increase in the individual income tax revenue collected. Success right? Woo-hoo...WRONG!!
Heh..you know what the problem is?
We should of shown a 66% increase if all things remain equal because Illinois raised the individual income tax by 66% last year.
All those so-called new jobs and not a dime increase in income tax revenue if you back out the tax rate increase.
Now think about that!
Back out that individual income tax increase that took us from paying 3% to 5% in 2011 and there was no increase in tax revenue AT ALL.
That's astonishing. Not only did the so-called new jobs, the 122,900 new jobs created since Jan 2010 raise the States tax revenue but when you think about it I guess no-one in the entire state received any raises either -- as that would show an increase in State income tax being collected and it's just not there.
Makes you wonder about all those so-called new jobs and what they are paying. Makes you wonder if the new jobs are only positions created from the old jobs that once paid a living wage.
The farther back you go the worse it looks. Illinois in FY 2008 collected $11,187 million in individual income tax. In 2011 after a 66% increase in tax rates we pulled in a mere $12,301 million ( roughly about a 10% increase) and the projected estimates for 2012 is not that much better.
Smoke and mirrors baby.
The real reason is to slowly reverse seniority a HUGE number of officers out of the "new" 019 to Reverend approved parts of the city. I predict this will be done in 3-4 transfer orders over the course of the year.
Hey north siders and yuppies, wake up! You're getting fucked and will have ZERO police protection soon!
Emanuel figures he can take you for granted because you'll vote for him no matter what.
Why do you let this guy fuck you?
We should make a statement at the G8 our contract is up on 30 June. Take care of your fellow police officer and let Michigan Ave burn

THEE RANT link in your first sentence does not work. The other 2 links work. I went over to the SCC sidebar under "POLICE RELATED WEBSITES" and in the middle, I clicked on "THEE RANT (frmr NYPD Rant" and got the whole forum. You're right. Your post is at the very top. Kudos to Ed "the Polecat" on his fine blog.
I'd like to think that if the shit hits the fan that SCC and the Polecat have exchanged email addresses, maybe even speed dial.
Thanks for all you do, John. I'm also a fan of the Box Chevy Phantom.
The Polecat and SCC are 1st Amendment heroes in our NYPD-CPD brotherhood.
What about the 600 plus Police Officers that will retire at the end of this year!
Fuzzy Enron style math!
Crickets!!!!
Da Pelon
We all know that mc is refering to the inside admin/front desk/lock up officers of those now closed 3 districts will be driving a beat car.
What we need is someone in the media to ask mc "specifically how many additional officers will be hitting the streets by closing those districts?"
Smoke and Mirrors -- Hope and Change
Whats the differences?
OT: Why isn't the media blaming Bush for the high gas prices now?
You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until you see the cuts after the G-8 summits and the elections!!.
A police state may not seem so bad at first blush especially if you're the police. However what makes you so sure that after the summits, and after the political/corporate elite are done using you that you will not be standing on the other side of the skirmish line as they tell you how the cutbacks are necessary in order to save.
The real Greek-like austerity programs will kick in right AFTER the elections and Washington knows what is coming imo.
The bad stuff ALWAYS comes right after an election so that the people have four years to forget about it in time for the new elections that are held.
Why do you think all these new laws are being created?
HR.347 is the latest.
New Bill makes it a FELONY to protest on federal grounds, function, or near an official
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?363846-New-Bill-makes-it-a-FELONY-to-protest-on-federal-grounds-function-or-near-an-offciall&s=e3de022cffe9c4742cfd21431d7d9122
That will keep the rage well hidden won't it?
Setting up restricted zones of intimidation will keep those evil doer taxpayers that are demanding accountability and corporate money out of politics away from the Rep and Dem conventions -- away from the summits - away from storming their congressmen offices that are suppose to represent them. Yeah...sure it will.
The bankers have trashed the global economy and now we all should sit down and shut up and pay for it.
The US justice department is running guns down to drug cartel members enabling them to use those weapons against us...and just sit down and shut up because Washington and almost every political official is okay with it.
I'll tell you what. In Greece the police just received a 20% wage cut and it's still not enough. What do you suppose the CPD union contracts and the CPD pensions are going to look like by the end of the year?
Oh it's coming I'm afraid. Class Wars of 2012.
If remains to be seen if the people are going to just sit down and shut up. For people that see no future, threatening them with a 10 year felony when they have nothing else to lose just might seem worth the risk when compared to the continuation of funding this mass corruption and concentration of wealth. Look at Greece.
Time will tell. Sooner then most of us think,
HR.347 was passed almost unanimously...not much word in the press about it either. I wonder why?
Fear must be at an all time high.
How in the world are these moves saving the City 12 million dollars?

Was the old 019 building closed? NO. The lockup in the old 019 is still open aqnd they need a crew to man the desk. yest in the new 019 (023) building they have a new lockup that is not used. Why? Where is the gain in officers for the street? Wake up son and smell the coffee.
Lets not forget, we are still very short on the street, regardless of all the smoke and mirrors, but they just keep promoting more high paid bosses. The department is so topheavy, its gonna need all these emply atation just to create more office space.

---------------------------------------------
Spoken like a true DICK.
the closing of a police station is like the closing of a good tavern--- both are anchors of the community where everyone knows each other by first name and people go to solve problems--- their closing leaves the surrounding community with an empty feeling--- people like to see officers driving by parks, schools, and their block--- a backlash from the community should be expected as response times will increase and the police will be more spread out and less visible....
Make it even easier.
Show the payroll from when Rahm started - today.
You will magically see that there are less officers on the department.
"These are generations of people who know these local detectives and now those detectives are moving to different neighborhoods not accessible to them," said Mike Shields, president of the Fraternal Order of Police.
What is he saying to ABC 7 News, detectives have to drive too far to work? After weeks to work on a soundbite? That's gonna build empathy with the public.
How is CPD saving money at all? In the new 019 (023) on Addison the state of the art lock-up is closed. The lockup at Belmont & Western is still open, and run by a crew assigned to the new 019. In essance, 019 now has 2 desk crews and a sergeant has to at Belmont & Western to handle bonds, beefs, etc that require a supervisor. As the brand new lockup on Addison sits closed, wagons make the transfer of prisoners to Belmont & Western, many times making pickups from street arrests within a block or two of the old 019. I would love to see a forensic audit detailing how these closings and consolidations are saving us taxpayers 11-12 million.

Ahem...
Looks like someone needs to check the retirement list from the last year or so. Mark my words, even with the "inside officers on the street", recent retirement incentives have GUARANTEED that there are FAR FEWER officers on the street than just 6 months ago!
This is also why the Department is having trouble finalizing their plans for the upcoming riots... They have NO IDEA how many coppers will retire in March, April and May, right BEFORE G8/NATO.
Imagine if they had actually thought this thing through before deciding do all this stuff. I KNOW the officers that work through the G8/NATO summits will not back down and do their jobs to the best of their abilities. I just hope we don't end up with any casualties.
Nothing will raise the status of one of these left wing anarchists quicker than being a martyr.
conpsiracy man says its all part of the conspiracy if you dont believe it. Its because thats what they want you to think.
Old 019, old 023, welcome to the new family that will be new 019. We copper will always find a way to make things work out for us in the streets, away from the glass tower.
I am really amazed at the size of this new District (it should be called Super District). Seems like we are taking adviced from the "Big Box Super Stores" (Wal-Mart, Costco, Home Depot)...Sad reality is that we are not in the business of selling anything!
Officers, be very careful while trying to respond to your calls from one end of the District to the other...REMEMBER, if YOU don't get there safe, we don't have any back up and you might be injured. God help us when all the summer events start bringing traffic and pedestrians to the area...it's going to be a major cluster....!
THE BEST OF LUCK!
Do not be surprised if the beats are redrawn to make them larger.
So [the old] 019 and 023 each had 9 beats. Total of 18. Now, in the exact same piece of land there are only 15 beats. That means - ready - LESS POLICE ON PATROL AFTER THE CONSOLIDATION! This after McCarthy and Rahm said there'd be no reduction of police protection.
Lie, lie, lie.

Very good, you drank all of your kool ade, now go to 35th street and get your free puppy son.
Have you been in the the office or seen the front desk people lately? They ain't going on the street. And if they did they would be more trouble than they are worth. Someone will find inside jobs for most if not all of them somewhere else.
Has anyone else noticed that of the "1000" officers Rhambo put on the street about 150-200 were actually put out of 35th street, have also slowly trickled back to 35th. Shell games all along. I want my free puppy, but I hate the taste of kool ade.
Let's look at the district fat.
Three watches of four "cops" who work the desk. With days off this requires 16 POs.
Two officers in lockup for three watches including days off requires 8 POs.
Three watch secretaries and two tact secretaries. 5 POs.
One commander, three watch commanders, one tact lieutenant, and three desk sergeants. 8 supervisors.
At LEAST 8 POs who do the commander's bidding in the district office.
Not to mention that the one missing district desk will leave one less location for the do nothings to hang out.
All in all, the department can easily man a complete sector with the district house mice.
021 tact shows up in 002 the first morning and nobody brought donuts!!
who is tact lt in new 019 ? Hope they keep Stasch-hard charger and old school boss.
You're a mush.
So the money we're saving from closing the 2 stations is going directly towards the underfunded police pensions right?
Instead of clicking the number of comments, click on the time ex: 12:13. The comments will be displayed in the old color scheme.
Here's an easier way ... 19th dist. guys you go report to Halsted & Addison ... (Sgt. at roll call tells them ) NOW GO BACK TO YOUR OLD BEATS AND PATROL THEM.
Same old same old
But? Do you have half the inside desk guys?
Closing each district will put the 3 desk officers back on the street along with a few other inside-do-nothing officers. Technically, yes there will be more officers on the street. Understand that these aren't working officers, but then again, how many officers that are currently on the street actually "work"?
My question is how does this save the city $10 million dollars like the mayor and McNutty says? Even if they close the districts and turn off the lights, where do they come up with these bullshit numbers? The saddest part is people believe them.
Just remember everytime you blow off a paper job or drive past a handwaver you are killing crime and giving the city ammo to close more station. because they will claim they are low crime areas. Give everyone a report. Give them two if they want it. Its even easier on the computers now. And you are held down on it anyway. The only way people will realize that its not possible to do more with less is when crime goes through the roof. And by generating a case report for every crime committed will show people the truth.
This cost savings measure hasn't half the equivalent of slicing turkey bologna thinner, one slice of day old bread and while they're at it, remove the 40 watt bulb from the fridge. That's how you save money.
Or just send the lock ups half the food the Public Schools throws out each day.
Let McRahm talk about all the money Daley squandered for the past 20+ years and how taxpayers will have to...as Shortshanks put it..."suffer".
My idea of dressing up mannequins as cops and making all beat cars 2 man cars seems to be looking better every day. No one will notice the difference. No pay...No benefits...No bitching about anything...and best of all NO COMPLAINTS about the dummys behavior. Want to keep 5 man Fire Dept rigs...Put two dummys on the truck.
tax red juice, 40 oz beer, flaming hot chips and fubu and roca wear and the city will solve all its financial problems with school funding...Tax the shitheads that abuse and manipulate the system
Anyone who thinks this is adding more police other than a handful of house mice is a moron.
Anyone who needed this "made simple" example is an even bigger moron. I'm hoping this was directed at the civilian viewers and not cops.
So what is all this going to do for the good citizens? Most likely cut response times down for the busier areas of these new districts (90% which are total b.s. jobs) while pulling police presence away from the "safer" areas. I hope the sgt.s, S/Ss, X/Os and C/Os do the right thing and stress the importance if beat integrity.
Remember, OEMC's priority is to dole out jobs as fast as possible to avoid a RAP. Dispatchers will attempt to pull cars away to answer meaningless jobs off their beat if they go unchecked by supervisors. Remember, they are not our bosses. Our friends and sometimes lifelines, but not our bosses.
Jesus, I don't remember what the hell I was talking about. Beat integrity? Hell with it.
Where's that pappy van winkle....

Statement by the Press Secretary on the G-8 and NATO Summits
In May, the United States looks forward to hosting the G-8 and NATO Summits. To facilitate a free-flowing discussion with our close G-8 partners, the President is inviting his fellow G-8 leaders to Camp David on May 18-19 for the G-8 Summit, which will address a broad range of economic, political and security issues. The President will then welcome NATO allies and partners to his hometown of Chicago for the NATO Summit on May 20-21, which will be the premier opportunity this year for the President to continue his efforts to strengthen NATO in order to ensure that the Atlantic Alliance remains the most successful alliance in history, while charting the way forward in Afghanistan.
Your math is wrong, but your reasoning is ignorant. Close one district and more officers are assigned to the street because they aren't: 1) behind the desk, 2) in the lock-up, 3) getting the Commander's car washed.
They are talking about adding the cops that wern't on the street. The three guys on the desk each watch and the three admin people. That's 12 extra cops per district, 36 extra guys for the while City. Whew, I feel much safer now, knowing there is one extra guys per watch who has my back. I hope the citizens feel as safe as I do now. Adding cops to the streets my balls!! Spin wool into gold, spin wool into gold---- Damnit it worked in the fairytale. Spin harder....spin faster.
002 more than doubled in acreage. But only three beats were added. Stacked with people for time being but give that a few years. Department is just doubling sizes of beats. Bigger beats, less cops needed. But Chicago didn't shrink.
3/05/2012 02:55:00 AM
Yeah, 002 is fucking HUGE now. That's all they're doing is having less cops cover more area. In the end the citizens are the ones that are going to suffer because we can only be in one place at a time.
No need for inside staff is where gain is

What about the inside people? Aren't they going to add to the numbers on the street? Albeit, very insignificant numbers.

Exactly. What does this net the citizens? An 'extra' maybe 20 officers on the street? And, since it has caused DOZENS of retirements, how did it put more boots on the street?
Then, with local, 'neighborhood', stations gone, people have to drive or take public transit much farther, lose that CAPsy feeling we've thrown so much time and energy at,and lose the availability of the facility for other community purposes.
And, what about the children!

They are talking about adding the cops that wern't on the street. The three guys on the desk each watch and the three admin people. That's 12 extra cops per district, 36 extra guys for the while City. Whew, I feel much safer now, knowing there is one extra guys per watch who has my back. I hope the citizens feel as safe as I do now. Adding cops to the streets my balls!! Spin wool into gold, spin wool into gold---- Damnit it worked in the fairytale. Spin harder....spin faster.

A few dozen have retired, solely due to the upheaval.
Net result, NO new boots on the street, no matter WHAT lies the City tells the media.
SCC----You are soooo logical.
