NATO Countdown
Time for a suggestions thread.
Anyone have any idea what to bring downtown to survive a 12, 14 or 16 hour day?
Anyone have any idea what to bring downtown to survive a 12, 14 or 16 hour day?
- snacks
- medical supplies
- clothing
- basic necessities
We don't know what they're going to allow the second watch people to carry and what will be stored off site. We're sure plenty of readers would like to give or receive advice.

Baby wipes, unscented.
Watch out for the May Day protests tomorrow. Could start these NATO protests a bit early.
Imma bring me dat 40!
Any real work on what 3rd and 1st watch are going to be doing? I know 12 hours days, but what are the hours and the dates? Are our RDO's going to be canceled besides the 20-21?
I feel like I've been left in the dark and I'm not going to find out till the last minute.
Jen
camelbak style backpack, blk so it blends with the vest. dont depend on the bs breaks and all that crap.
I plan on carrying, and using, a 2oz bottle of facial hydration mist throughout the entire tour. I will also be donning a very chic, very minimalist tutu that will not interfere with any triangular or linear formations I will be performing throughout the 12 hour performance.
Things to bring?? ehhhhh, listen kid. Throw a candy bar in your pocket and a bottle of water in your back pocket. Throw on some sunscreen and put on the blinders. Watch out for yourself and for your fellow coppers. once 12hours is done go home. Thats it thats all. If it starts raining dont forget the old saying.. a good policeman never gets cold tired or hungry.. so, disappear and find a spot to lay low for a little bit. Dont take this thing seriously. If they start bashing out windows and they are not the windows of your personal car or your house then who gives a sh&t. go home and sleep. end of lesson.
painkillers and clorox wipes
duck tape-- emergency handcuffs, tape over wounds to stop bleeding, label and write on stuff, seal off the top of your visor and helmet to make it water-tight, wrap the top of your boots to keep your laces tight
get a Camelbak-- have hands free water
I'll have a pocket full of energy bars along with a camel-back full of water. I'm not counting on the city/department to concern themselves with whether or not I eat or drink. I have some basic medical stuff in my bag along with a change of contact lenses, toothbrush/paste, and disinfectant. Of course, that's all in my bag and who knows how far away from that I'll be.
Pillow and blanket.
wow, GEU gone after the 5th period. McDrunk is on a roll. What a joke this department is.
sunscreen! I love ya, my Irish co-workers, BUT after 12 hours in the sun.... you're gonna look like a tomato! :)
Bring your gun, and your other gun, and yet, your other gun. Stand the line, and shoot to kill. If you want you could bring a SNICKERS candy bar.
Batteries
Extra magazine
Camelback
Water bottle
Aleve/Tylenol
Power bars
Band aids
Phone charger
Duct tape
Purell
Sunglasses/eye protection
Gauze roll
Hard candy
Knife
Multi tool
Black nitrile gloves
Batting gloves
Antibacterial/sanitary wipes
Wear your wool pants. Breathable enough that it shouldn't be too terribly hot, and they won't melt to your skin if you get hit with a molatov cocktail. Anyone who hasn't gotten a new helmet shield, maybe saran wrap over the gaps? And fuck the dept's short sleeves only order. Cover yourselves, people. Literally.
Some suggestions...This isn't a list of things you must bring. Bring what's going to keep you comfortable.
• Water
• Snacks (Clif or granola bars, gorp, etc.)
• Cloth bandages
• Blistex/Carmex
• Aspirin/Ibuprofen/Acetominophen
• Spare socks (keep your feet dry-avoid blisters)
• Foot powder
• Duct tape (1001 uses!)
• Pocket space blanket
• Paracord
• Multi-tool/Pocket Knife
• Leather gloves
• Facial Tissue
• Paper towels
• Eyeglass strap (for prescription/sunglasses)
• Eyedrops
• Antbacterial wipes
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Washcloth & Soap in a zip-type bag
• Zip-type bags
• Large trash bags (to place your dirty uniform into before getting into your personal car)
• Change of clothes (to change into when you head home)
• Foam earplugs
You might also think about getting some elbow and knee pads to wear beneath your uniform. This way you won't get hassled for being out of uniform/looking "too threatening", etc. Even those cheap skateboarding ones offer pretty good protection and won't look too bulky.
Besides a good helmet with durable face shield a raincoat is a must!
1. Baby Wipes or Cottonelle wipes - to cleanse your skin if you get a chance.
2. Granola bars - slide easy and lightweight, small to carry. Nourishing and quick to eat.
3. Capri Sun drink pouches - crush resistant and easy to carry.
4. Purell sanitizer
5. Band-aids - travel size comes in a small lightweight plastic container that is easy to carry.
6. eye drops - in case you need to rinse out any foreign substances
Target has a great travel size products that are small, lightweight and easy to carry
My husband went to a military supply website and ordered supplies to bring with him. Maybe check one out.
Good luck to all of you and please be safe!
~ a CPD wife ( who is very concerned and worried about the whole mess!)
God Bless!!
where u gonna store shit??? even if you bring a cooler with water, lunch etc... you are not going to be anywhere near it...??
iam not bringing shit, you are not gonna be able to carry anything with you, or have a cooler near by with water, gatoraid... they better have shit for us, or they are going to have a lot of people going to the hospital for dehydration
I talked to my doctor yesterday and based on everything that could happen, she recommended the hepatitis A vaccine. Apparently, hep A can be transmitted by fecal material. I did not need any other vaccines since I was up to date on hepatitis B and tetanus.
I would strongly suggest that everyone consult their doctor to see what is recommended for them to stay safe and healthy.
May I make a suggestion? Foam earplugs for a couple of reasons. First off, to block out the drone of protestors chants, drums, amplified voices and other annoying noises. You will still be able to hear the radio and the person next to you, and it may keep your headache at a minimum. The second reason is the earflaps on the helmets don't completely cover your ears, and I'm not sure if the new face shields will have enough wrap-around coverage to keep stuff from dripping onto the sides, or even for if something splashes from the side. Just a thought.

OT:
Yet one more example of the leading cause of violent death in America.
AR 15, lots of bullets. Oh, and some chocolate.
Most of the 2nd watch officers in my district are old and ready to retire. I can't see them doing much of anything physically demanding. Maybe this is the type of event where reverse seniority should come into play. Let the youngsters be on the front lines. Front lines, that's funny too. Tact teams are the front lines. Most of the guys in our tact teams are do nothing, paper jumping, camera/ spotlight hungry tricksters. This department is just all too messed up. Be safe and please remember... THIS CITY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!
Kind of off topic, but every PO should keep a shortwave radio in their pack.
These days, with the Chinese imports, you can get a serviceable unit for absolutely nothing ($8). You can get something outright good for under a couple hundred bucks.
The beauty of the SW is that you're never, ever out of touch. There is no such thing as a 'media blackout' for major events. The internet is an amazing tool, but it does me no good when I'm preoccupied with a dozen other things and need streaming information on the fly.
Most shortwaves have Weather band, so you always have access to a constant loop of local weather reports.
Its just not a bad idea to keep one around. If anyone cares, say so and I can give some suggestions of makes and brands that I know to be fairly priced and good quality.
OT:
The following was posted on the FOP website. It says that it's evaluating proposals submitted by us over the past year for the current contract negotiations. Where the heck can you submit a proposal for contract ideas??
Number Fucking #1 on my list is DEFINE MERIT. For the love of pete, finally get something in writing so we know what makes someone so worthy that they get promoted meritoriously. Give us a goal to shoot for. OR at the very least work on reducing the amount of merit hacks promoted. 30% per class is crazy.
#2 Residency. So sick of HAVING to live in chicago. What, are we living back in the early 1900's where workers have no rights and your boss can actually dictate where you live? Its asinine.
#3 Work something out so we can move around districts more. The way it's going now you're are absolutely stuck in whatever district you are in. There's practically zero movement and the little allowed is to a ghetto shit hole.
--------------------------
Contract Negotiations Update
April 26, 2012
The 2012 Contract Negotiating Team met for the first time today to evaluate and prioritize contract proposals submitted by our membership over the past year. We can assure you that we will be prepared when our upcoming negotiations with the City begin.
Buy one of those camelbak back packs and fill it with a mix of water and Gatorade to keep hydrated. Also bring some gauze and iodine wipes. Pack a bunch of power bars, as you can't fit chocolate cake in your pockets. Guys: wear a jockstrap and cup to protect the family jewels. And most of all, don't forget the half-step. Be safe and don't let these anarchist rats get to ya. They won't be out too long because they have to be home to play dungeons and dragons online.
Pancho in case of rain. Leave the wallet at home and license, ID and one credit card in plastic zip lock bag. Camel back for water, pocket knives, lighter and smokes.
Don't forget the marshmallows for when the city burns.
We had a guest speaker at roll call the other day. They are ALLOWING us to wear the cargo pants because they have more pockets to store items in. The issue of what will happen if a protester takes off with your hat and shield came up.
We were all ASSURED that NO DISCIPLINARY action will be taken.
We were all told to bring a change of clothes, that will be kept in our own personnel vehicles. If the shit hits the fan (and us) our quest speaker told us that we would be taken to a decontamination station and then bused back to our personnel vehicle for a change of clothing.
In case you wanted to know, Rahm is going to showcase the most surley, decrepid, obese and clinically insane officers the dept has to offer during nato. He wants these officers who he knows hate his guts to die of heart attacks get injured on duty or retire plain and simple. He wants a mindless hairgel force of yes men who are willing to lay down in puddles of mud and let the reverends walk on them as they double park on their way to fake church. Now most hairgells have no problem with that as long as they can were skinny jeans and get excessively tatooed with doodles and get on the coveted tact team someday in their future before they are stripped. This is going to be a hoot. Oh yeah and then there is "Hoot" who remains one of the most celebrated 'Yes Men" in recent dept history.
The provided lunch will be a box lunch consisting of a sandwhich, apple and power bar.
They told us that they considered setting up hot lunches but.........
well need I go on?
Jimmy Johns !!!!!
And NO Report From Meahler and INTEl about what to expect
Why do we have this Clouted Bullshit Unit
Toilet Paper
Time due slips!
Water water and water
List handed out to some white shirts:
*Hydration system or bottled water
*Energy/Protein bars
*Inclement weather gear (gloves, rain coat/poncho, thermos, etc.
*Sanitizing wipes
*First aid kit
*Change of clothes and plastic garbage bag
*Flex cuffs
*Spare Rx glasses, contacts, case, solution
*Spare medication
*Permanent marker
*Flex cuff cutter
*Sunscreen
The change of clothes and garbage bag are for in case you get shit thrown on you. You will be transported to a decontamination site, decontaminated, then you throw your shitty clothes and then change into your 'change of clothes'
Supposedly there will be sites to supply coppers with gatorade/water, and box lunches.
So I guess this means you can carry a camel-back? And I guess we tuck our change of clothes up under our magic crown caps, along with the rest of the stuff?
And what, exactly, is the procedure if you have to pee? Wait for relief? Duck out ouf line? No direction whatsoever.
So many people I know still do not have face shields. WTF? Seriously?
Python boots, a poncho (Mexican or Sears), and a lighter.
I hope you guys bring mini for extinguishers for the front line .....
Not a cop
For Iphone owners, I strongly suggest you get a 'Mophie'. It looks like an Iphone cover and can double the life of your battery. There are other options besides a 'Mophie.'
You can buy the same things for other phones, I'm sure. Make sure you know how to turn off the apps that suck the juice out of your battery.
Also, I would carry a charger cable in case you get a break and can find a place to recharge, even if for a little bit.
Also, on Amazon you can buy holders that you can wear on your wrist or arm.
Not everyone is going to have a radio--and cell phones might not work--but I'm going to make sure mine is charged up and ready to go just in case.
Key things to bring for yourself:
*Bottled water (some for washing the shit off of you)
*CASH!!!
*Change of clothes (once it hits the fan don't know if you'll be cut loose)
*Food/snacks
*Cash!!!
*Cell phone w/charger or spare battery.
*Tylenol/aspirin.
If I was told I will have a "softer" look and wear the blue uniform I would have a change of clothes that are comfortable "plain clothes". When my uniform gets trashed I would tell them the plain clothes are all I have to change into.
you'll need plenty of "baby wipes" to clean off the piss and shit that is gonna be thrown at you.
Rain-X and Windex wipes for the face shield of your helmet to ease clean-up of liquids.
A camelback filled with water sounds like a good bet to me
Hoe about all the GO that relate to NATO. No helmets, no tasers, parking, shit bombs and glass bombs.
how about a raincoat how can we carry that?
Throw in roll of toilet paper, clorox wipes. Change of socks. Duct tape, water, granola bars dry fruit. Oh...and mabye buy a small fire extinguisher just in case.
an extra bottle of hairgel?
The guys from L.O.M.A.R.T. training suggested mixing Gatorade half with water. Water isn't good enough cause we'll be losing a lot of potassium and sodium so we need the electrolytes.
Depends garments ?
Does Intel know-
NOTHING ZERO No HELP TO THE POs in the Field
MEAHLER "Terrorism Expert" has no report no guidlines zip Nada
Why do we have an Intel unit
My pocket with extra batteries.
All that money the city is suppose to get, they should provide these items for us. Especially Uniforms and equipment if You should Get shit or piss thrown at you. Even after cleaning it professionally, I don't know if I would want to wear it again. Our turtle gear? Will that be replaced if we get shit or piss thrown at us. That's a costly item, especially many of us had to purchase it just for the NATO. I Just hope all the officers come home safe. Is what matters and is important. They should have areas that would provide snacks and drinks for all officers considering all hell may break loose. Any kind of plan would be nice, but I sure won't hold my breath on it.
Some U$C
Pain killers, Tylenol or Ibprophen
Clean up wipes, lens cleaner wipes, hand sanitizer
Water, refillable bottle
Swiss Army knife or other multi-tool
Cell phone charger or charged spare battery)
Safety pins
In the squad car trunk:
A bunch of clean but can throw away terry cloth towels
Fire hydrant key
Duct tape, fiber reinforced tape
Large garbage bags
Stay Safe. > ALSO: What you DON'T want to carry is a wallet with all your IDs and credit cards. These RIOTERS if they found it would gleefully use the info to make your life miserable.*
( * How musch more miserable than Obama-Quinn-Daley-Rahm-Weiss & McCarthy has already can they do?)
You must keep yourself safe
- 300 rounds of extra ammo
- knife
- back-up pistol (same caliber - so you can use same ammo)
- water
- second pair of socks
- long flashlight (doubles as a club)
- big can of hornet spray (poor man's mace alternative)
- attitude
Good luck.
I'm tripping off the curb and send me to a hospital!
I got too much time to stand on a the sidewalk for hours on end like a P.P.O.!
FUCK YOU RAHM and MCSTUPID!
There's already an ample supply of Kool-Aid out there, so no need to bother with that.
Cheaper than dirt has a full nylon duty rig for under $40 bucks. The holster sucks, but all the rest is good. Better to have the piss, shit, O/C and whatnot on stuff you can pitch when it's over instead of having to replace the expensive leather.
Ziplocs for everything in your pockets.
How about a note from my doctor stating I need an immediate 25 days bed rest for fatigue. Fuck this town!
I've worked downtown on the night shift before. The only things open are 7-Eleven and some Dunkin Donuts. There is a 24-hr DD on Dearborn and Jackson across from the Federal Buildings. The 7E is a block south on Dearborn and Van Buren. They're both good for snacks. Otherwise, your biggest issue is where to go to use a bathroom. None of the McDonalds downtown stay open past 10pm if I remember right.
That being said, Walgreens sells small first aid kits that are easy to carry. Snacks and water are best to have on your person.
Go to REI or any good bike shop and get some GU energy gel for when you begin to get tired and SportsLegs, which is a vitamin mix, to keep your legs strong. I use both on long (20 mile +) bike rides and they work! but don't take more than two Sportslegs capsules at once or you will be 'real regular'
Get a camel water pack. You don't know if you'll get any water while down there.
when i was down for protests yrs back especially wearing turtle gear a roll of black electrical/duct tape can always come in handy
I arranged to have my deviated septum repaired on May 16th. Therefore I will miss the event.
Outstanding!
Bring a pocket full of balls and hand out two to each merit boss.
This is the worst prepared event in the history of the city!
1.I would suggest, cloth and gel disinfectant.
2. Water and energy bars.
3. Small fire extingusher
4. First Aid supplies, also, if you take any medication, a 3 day supply
4. Change of cloths and shaving gear.
5. Extra battery and phone charger.
6.Name and address of your stupid alderman who is leaving you in this mess
Don't forget about extra kool aid. Mmmmmm yum
Baby shampoo takes the sting out of pepper spray.
You know you'll get some on you when it is used.
Get travel size fits in your pocket.

Another change day happend and you still didn't make the list huh? After 3 years you'd think you can come up with a different rumor...
Was around for the nonsense of the democratic convention.....best advice I ever got...when dealing with a crowd, was to wear long sleeve uniform shirt, better to have a sleeve full of shit, than an arm cover with shit....especially with all of these exoctic man made germs running around, also good for splattering glass from enbedding to exposed arms....
Slayer. Hippies hate death metal.

* Ballistic eyewear up to OSHA/MILSPEC with elastic headband.
* Tradesmen's hard knee and elbow pads.
* Antiseptic mouthwash.
* Throat lozenges.
NYPD here. A lot of good suggestions here. Flex Cuffs are a must as they can't be traced back to you! Stay safe. We caught a little break so far with the weather. Heavy rain for the commie march this am.
day guys are the best choice for this detail:
LIST:
older, more experienceed at being f##ked by city and better able to say NO to a stupid order
will document everything: get names and stars of supervisors in charge of them sgts, lts, etc. so that future injuries can be followed with civil suits .. they also know times, and witnesses are important to note as well as emts, drs, er people etc.
best at ignoring ass##oles.
best at recalling it's getting closer to KMA time one day at a time
honed sense of humors
they already know the only laws that count during a civil disturbance are the laws you make up on the spot. they all support:
self perservation, safety of others, life, limb, and over all safety.
NO BACK PACKS, THEY CAN GRAB IT AND PULL YOU IN TO THEM.
NO BACK PACKS!!!!!!!!!!!
There should be bottled water in your pockets and energy bars as well. Cliff bars, Power Bars, LARA Bars. INSOLES for your boots, more important to buy them. It takes a lot off your back,knees and no hurt your feet so much.
Wear wicking t shirts, underwear and socks. You might be able to find a head cap, doo rag or bandana in the same material.
Trust me on this shit, you have to take care of yourselves and then each other.
WE CAN DO THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!

5/01/2012 06:27:00 AM
Are you kidding me?? Yes, the department should broadcast all intelligence gathered, jeopardizing undercover officers and operations. FYI, Intelligence gets forwarded up the chain of command not down, that is until action is necessary. Finally, you must be either very junior in senority or just dumb if your that unsure of what to expect. Here's a hint, watch one of the many documentaries about Seattle or Toronto. Plan for the worst.
Please do not let squad car gas tanks get low. For Incident Response Cars you need to always try and have as full of tank of gas as possible. Make sure your gear helmet/ gas mask etc are ready to go. It also doesn't hurt to have a pair of long johns in your helmet bag.
Bring your IPAD with netflix
Corn cobs. Plenty of corn cobs.
I would bring some type of topical/antiseptic. I'm not a cop, but read SCC daily, and am concerned for all of your safety. The last thing you need is to get a cut, then get some weird human waste bomb thrown at you that gets into the open wound. You should also bring lots of gauze wrap, cotton pads, and medical tape, so if you do get an open wound, you can treat it, cover it, and wrap it tight.
Thanks for all you do, stay safe. The vast majority of Chicagoans support you, and not the occupists/protestors. And we're sorry that the protestors believe that you're who they should be protesting.
"I would strongly suggest that everyone consult their doctor to see what is recommended for them to stay safe and healthy"
A great suggestion.
Also, bring raw, peeled almonds. They're very easy to transport, are loaded with calories, and also have protein. The calories & protein will give you energy, but because of their small size, they won't fill up your intestines & make you need to take a dump halfway through a long shift, like eating a McD's burger, or even a big candy bar like a jumbo snickers.
You may also want to consider the energy concotions that ultra-marathoners use, things like 2nd Surge Ultra Energy gel (just google it). Those things give you essential nutrients, like protein, carbs, electrolytes, and caffeine, that you need when doing something strenuous for a long period of time. Plus, they can help battle dehydration, and because they're a goo and in a metallic pouch, very difficult to crush unlike a pop can or a drink box. They don't taste too bad, either.
Any real work on what 3rd and 1st watch are going to be doing? I know 12 hours days, but what are the hours and the dates? Are our RDO's going to be canceled besides the 20-21?
I feel like I've been left in the dark and I'm not going to find out till the last minute.
****************************
first watch will be early cars 11pm-11am and late cars 12am-12pm. third watch will be early cars 11am-11pm and late cars will be 12pm-12am. Days and tac/tier 1 will be downtown everyday from 0800-2000.

And here is a perfect example of the hairgel police. the only thing to worry about is his Iphone. Trust me, the last thing on your mind will be your Iphone.. and go ahead Jr... wear your Iphone on your arm in a nice little holder. first time it gets hit with sh*t, piss or a brick and its gone..or while we are clashing with these idiots it will stand out and they will snatch it right off your arm. First word of advice, dont be a hero and never get separated from your team.. no need for a phone. when you get a break and your behind the lines then get your phone and turn it on to call your wife/husband.. plenty of battery will be left then. what a tool.
I got a brief glance at the CPIC order regarding the uniforms. Why no option for long sleeves? That is asinine. Besides the fact that we'll be near the lakefront (where it's always cooler), why not afford us the option of protection, however minimal it is, with the sleeves?!
SCC, can you post that order?
Operation:B.O.A.K.Y.A.G.( Bend Over And Kiss Your Ass Goodbye)
Well, lets see. There is no way my raincoat is going to fit over top all that turtle gear and my vest. So I'm hoping for no rain for the entire month of May.
I feel sorry for you old guys on 2nd watch ... It's gonna suck for you to be on your feet all day then fight protesters.
Maybe you can dust off the old sap and get a few cracks in!
Bathrooms? Porta a Johns wont work other for the guys pissing. Other than than that, Porta a Johns wont work for guys taking a #2 or for the girls #1 or #2. Nowhere in hell for removing all your equipment and placing them somewhere other than the small cramped piss covered floor of a Porta a John.
I discovered "Gold Bond" powder in the Army, years ago. ONe can sprinkle it liberally in their drawers to prevent chafing, etc. It keeps "the boys" cool, on a warm day!
Who's bringin the pancake mix?
As I read through these lists I'm thinking to myself stop being a bunch of "vages".
Para-cord, are you for real? Do you think it's going to be that bad?
One tour in 007 dealing with Cpt. K. is ten times worse then babysitting a bunch of yuppie liberals.
Sit back and be happy your out of the ghetto if you work in one.
My cousin works at a large financial institution in the Loop. His employer advised them to wear casual clothes that week so as not to attract attention to the fact they work in a bank, and also to store one days worth of food and water there "just in case". He rented a mariachi outfit to wear to and from work, he figures no one is going to bother a guy in a mariachi suit. ha ha Not only is he hilarious, but he's probably 100% right.
Don't bring your wallet or credit cards. Bring your work I D and some cash. ATM s may not work, be tapped out, or be vandalized. If you get a chance to sneek off and buy a water or some food your best bet in this chaos will be to have cash money. Also make sure your cell is in a good case and preferably in a Plastic bag. Keep it turned off until you need to use it to call home.

Maybe as a general rule have a little one somewhere in gear for emergencies, but all Radio Netherlands is gonna say is that there are demonstrations in Chicago. You'll know that already, seeing as you are fighting for your life in the line. Your whole world is about ten feet in diameter at that point. Lucky to even hear your police radio, let alone talk on it. Maybe sgt. can get some space for half a minute, get his back against a tree and call for something, everyone else got their hands full.
Second gas mask holder on opposite leg. should hold energy bars, packs of wipes, first aid items, roll of tape.
Treat your tour as if you are war! What would you carry in war?
For all you progressives out there getting fodder from this site... we carry ball point pens and suger free gum to war in order to distribute those items out to children. :)
America
Harry Potter's invisible cloak.
about 50 protesters have already shut down the bank of america building downtown. Only the bike teams are on hand to respond. the march hasnt even begun yet... Where is the 1st district tact team you ask??? Yep, Nato/G8 training at UIC hahahaha, what a joke.
Some suggestions...This isn't a list of things you must bring. Bring what's going to keep you comfortable.
• Water
• Snacks (Clif or granola bars, gorp, etc.)
• Cloth bandages
• Blistex/Carmex
• Aspirin/Ibuprofen/Acetominophen
• Spare socks (keep your feet dry-avoid blisters)
• Foot powder
• Duct tape (1001 uses!)
• Pocket space blanket
• Paracord
• Multi-tool/Pocket Knife
• Leather gloves
• Facial Tissue
• Paper towels
• Eyeglass strap (for prescription/sunglasses)
• Eyedrops
• Antbacterial wipes
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Washcloth & Soap in a zip-type bag
• Zip-type bags
• Large trash bags (to place your dirty uniform into before getting into your personal car)
• Change of clothes (to change into when you head home)
• Foam earplugs
You might also think about getting some elbow and knee pads to wear beneath your uniform. This way you won't get hassled for being out of uniform/looking "too threatening", etc. Even those cheap skateboarding ones offer pretty good protection and won't look too bulky.
What the hell, we aren't invading Normandy, we are babysitting a bunch of smelly socialists.

While this is not a serious answer to SCC's query, it does bring up a serious question.
If you or another officer or innocent citizen are being attacked and life is in danger, the fact that the assailant is part of a mob does not grant him some magical immunity -- as Andy Thayer and a lot of others affect to think.
Shooting someone IN a crowd is not the same as "shooting into a crowd," as all the wild-eyed lawsuit nuts like to call it to try to scare the police off their game.
There are techniques taught for this. Simple, sensible, effective. Everyone should know them to protect their own life and those of others.
Enough said here.

NEW YORK -- New York workers are facing hellish commutes Tuesday as the "Occupy Wall Street" movement stages a full slate of "general strike" protests across the five boroughs.
Touted as a "day without the 99 percent," marches from Williamsburg Bridge to Wall Street and a so-called "Bike Bloc" in Union Square were expected to make people's journeys to work difficult.
Occupy is the 1% -- the shrieking radical fringe, people with unlimited free time to cause trouble and "no visible means of support" if you don't count George Soros.
Don't do us any favors, Occupy.
NEW YORK CITY "GENERAL STRIKE" TEXT MESSAGE BRINGS OUT 12 PROTESTERS
"A text message alert broadcast late Monday from an Occupy Wall Street address said: "All civilians stand by for GENERAL STRIKE at 08:00. No Work, School, or Shopping. All out in the streets!"
"Activities were set to kick off early in New York at Bryant Park in midtown...
"But, as a light morning rain fell on the city, the park was largely empty, populated by a handful of police officers and half a dozen maintenance workers in yellow rain slickers who were emptying trash cans. About a dozen people milled about at a pair of coffee kiosks at the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Avenue, just outside the park...."

Cleveland Bomb Plotters Planned to Hit NATO Summit in Chicago (fox news!)...I Dont know anyone who saw this on Fox and yet our so call leaders feel we are prepared and it should be a peaceful protest...Fucken Bull Shit! here it is finally reports of disruption...good covereage fox news! Be ready guys on the front line I know u want to stand there and say fuck it I aint doing shit but make sure your are aware of the dangers this assholes will do to u or your partner even if your standing there just watching unfold...BE CAREFUL EVERYONE!

large size garbage bag.
They make a real good raincoat
or piss stopper.
Oh yeah and then there is "Hoot" who remains one of the most celebrated 'Yes Men" in recent dept history.
LMFAO!
Don't worry, brothers! I will be right there with you on the front lines! Just let those wimpy anarchists try something and I will body slam them like I did Andre the Giant in Wrestlemania 3! Fight for what's right! Fight for what's right!
Most of the 2nd watch officers in my district are old and ready to retire. I can't see them doing much of anything physically demanding. Maybe this is the type of event where reverse seniority should come into play. Let the youngsters be on the front lines. Front lines, that's funny too. Tact teams are the front lines. Most of the guys in our tact teams are do nothing, paper jumping, camera/ spotlight hungry tricksters. This department is just all too messed up. Be safe and please remember... THIS CITY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!
According to Matt Tobias the 2nd watch is the front lines. They expect the 2nd watch old timers to be flanking the protesters wherever they march... all without a helmet and in that silly crown cap. Their gas masks and helmets will be blocks, or further, away in a bus!
Let me get this straight your tact teams trained for a week plus and they'll be dressed in turtle gear yet they'll be on standby in case the 2nd watch has a problem?
How completely fucked up is that??
I'm wearing a Speedo and bringing a can of Whoop-Ass!
If the shit hits the fan (and us) our quest speaker told us that we would be taken to a decontamination station and then bused back to our personnel vehicle for a change of clothing.
========================
Sounds like a genius plan. Just where will parking be found with the security perimeter blocking off such a huge area? How does one get from one's car 2-5 miles away to the festivities? CTA? Will there even be any way to get thru if there are large crowds?
Who is going to pay for damages to personal vehicles when the rioters start torching anything they see?personal vehicle insurance does not cover riot damage.
Anyone say where the toilets will be? Seems like downtown will be locked-down, and unlikely to let anyone in.
If anything can go wrong with this thing, it will. Afterall, this is Shitcago. This thing is going to turn out bad in every single way possible.
Information for all POLICE OFFICER's
From some of the research that I have done, youtube videos of past protests, anarchist blogs and websites. The violent protesters are usually dressed in all black and belong to the "black bloc" movement, check them out on youtube.
Many of them will be wearing all black clothing, carrying black flags and have red X's taped to their arms. From looking over the photos from today's May Day protests, I have already seen several black bloc members.
Be more observant around these idiots.

In regards to the shirts. Short sleeve shirts are an option given to us by OS Wilson. You do not have to wear them.
We had a guest speaker at roll call the other day. They are ALLOWING us to wear the cargo pants because they have more pockets to store items in. The issue of what will happen if a protester takes off with your hat and shield came up.
We were all ASSURED that NO DISCIPLINARY action will be taken.
We were all told to bring a change of clothes, that will be kept in our own personnel vehicles. If the shit hits the fan (and us) our quest speaker told us that we would be taken to a decontamination station and then bused back to our personnel vehicle for a change of clothing.

According to the complaint, one of the defendants used broad and boastful language to predict anarchists would wreak havoc in Cleveland as a prelude to disrupting Chicago during the summit, saying the goal was to spread rioting and destruction in every major city.
Gentleman This is straight out of the Sand Box! COMBAT life Saver. Almost all the advice given is excellent. I wish to add to the list. The difference between Vietnam and OEF/OIF and surviving an open wound, is to minimize the loss of blood. God for bid an officer gets a puncture wound, shot or some other penetration of the skin. Every hospital has triage kits to stop the bleeding. While on patrol in the box many of us carried boxes of tampons. This is an excellent emergency application to stop the bleeding. Simply another tool.

The following was posted on the FOP website. It says that it's evaluating proposals submitted by us over the past year for the current contract negotiations. Where the heck can you submit a proposal for contract ideas??
Number Fucking #1 on my list is DEFINE MERIT. For the love of pete, finally get something in writing so we know what makes someone so worthy that they get promoted meritoriously. Give us a goal to shoot for. OR at the very least work on reducing the amount of merit hacks promoted. 30% per class is crazy.
#2 Residency. So sick of HAVING to live in chicago. What, are we living back in the early 1900's where workers have no rights and your boss can actually dictate where you live? Its asinine.
#3 Work something out so we can move around districts more. The way it's going now you're are absolutely stuck in whatever district you are in. There's practically zero movement and the little allowed is to a ghetto shit hole.

I agree! I've never heard them asking us what we wanted or what our priorities are. I just went on the the FOP website now and there's no where on there (at least that i can find) that you can submit contract suggestions and/or priorities.

Arrested by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force on Monday evening on charges of conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce.
Held without bond, facing up to 25 years in prison.

your biggest issue is where to go to use a bathroom
Can't you just go into any hotel in the loop & ask the staff up front to let you use a restroom? There are plenty, and they all have people up front 24 hours.
Here's a suggestion: MORE ANDY THAYER!!! Yes, you heard right: MORE ANDY THAYER!! That poof is such a flaming annoyance. He's couldn't lead a horse to water. No self respecting anarchist is going to come to Chicago to follow Andy, the Queen of all Protests. Andy's dress rehearsal (MAy Day protest) was a giant flop. MORE ANDY! He makes everyone sick. Even the protesters. Fuck it, ANDY FOR MAYOR!!!
During the first ChicagoFest at Navy Pier, under Mayor Jane Byrne, our tac team learned from our senior member that the one liter Coca-Cola wax/cardboard fold-over container was perfect for a fifth of scotch + ice and a splash of water. A great stress reliever/ mood schmoozer.
