Quotas in 010
Guess what brilliant policy is being reintroduced in 010?
- Here is something new and show all of us how fucked up this department is, in the 010 district commander had meeting with sgts, sgts were allowed to pick po's that work 2nd watch, to be supervised under them. And at the end of the tour sgts have to write a to from with the activity from these po's. 4 contact cards, parkers/movers are required otherwise you will lose your car/starting times. Isn't all this quotas, oops I forgot we don't have quotas. Goes to show you what happens when you have a commander that has been promoted thru merit and doesn't know how to run a district effectively. Ruiz was moved the 4th district because he did such a good job in 010 why all the changes.
We certainly hope someone got the directive in writing. And someone else is keeping copies of the To-From reports the sergeants are filing out. It can only help when the inevitable lawsuit comes down. And all you officers in 010 ought to start coming in with zeros across the board.
Someday, someone will win a shitload of money from one of these multiple meri-clout-orious promoted hacks and the entire structure that allows unqualified, incompetent and ignorant people to rise to leadership positions of this department will finally be brought to public light.

Another over promoted asshole here, merit promotions what a concept,wait until the next merit sergeants and lts get online!
010 was a great place to work for the longest time. The bosses there were great and actually knew what they were doing. I guess it was just a matter of time.
010 can fill their daily "quota" on just my block alone!
I thought that I saw them all out there at an outdoor roll call.
They was doing the...
"put you shoe in..Okay, ick-a, bick-a, fire cracker. Ick-a, bick-a boo. Ick-a bick-a soda cracker out goes you."
Last week it was the rock-paper-scissors thing.
I loved her "pep" talk day after NATO in which she basically said, you guys really didn't do much and now I am going to Fuck with your start times and break up partners if you don't do what I ask and bring me numbers. When asked specifically how many numbers she wanted she danced around subject and muttered something about staying on your beat....
Merit Det
Merit Sgt
Merit Lt
Kept in "good sports" all thru her career.
But face it, folks, she's the Trifecta of Minority, so why not promote her all the way.
Female
Hispanic
I cant remember the last one....
Every Traffic stop in 010 is a TVB with 3 tickets minimum,The Restaurants are money laundering operations run by the Cartels,010 IS THE BIGGEST CESS POOL IN MEXICAGO.
If you're being pressured into making contact cards just to make contact cards, the one thing you will not check off with is 143's. Pena leave the working police alone to work!
-010 1st watch ( not feeling the pressue, yet)
Supt Mac....PLEASE!!!! Can we go back HOME(021)???? Looking at pictures and I am MISSING that OLD run down station as well as the memories!!!
4? they set the bar high there
This goof was overheard saying she was sent there to fix Ruiz's screwed up district. & she actually believes it! Ha!
Why are people complying? Why are they putting their job on the line for asshole bosses? Just to make it to second watch? We in the end have no one to blame for our conditions bur ourselves.
I would think that Joe might try this. He doesn't seem to have a clue and his minions would try to enforce it.
Way back when they were called "indexes". Clean and neat little title for quota. Isn't NYC going through a big deal with this crap right now.
Maria Pena is such a horrible boss that its hard to use the word "Boss". Merit promoted each and every rank-period! She left 025 and most everyone is very happy shes gone. Come to think of it ,when she left A-5 they were happy to see her leave too. Hard to find anyone but a suck-ass who will say any different.
In June all the Command Staff is supposed to go to the academy for training which was going to cover this stuff . .
looks like it should have started earlier!
GO FOR IT!
Bound to happen with this triple merit pick. She was known for making bad choices from way back. Got sued for some bad moves. Of course now she walks around like she actually earned it. What a joke
A quote from breaking news "Two dozen people were shot across the city between 6:45 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 a.m. Sunday." Keep pumpin up that morale baby! Hate to say it but Policing died a long time ago. The savages run it.
2nd Watch?!
I was told my a 3rd Watch Sgt in 010 that they had to do a to/from regarding activity that their cars provided.
The ship is sinking!
Already been there, quotas were taken to court in the 70's by suburban FOP. Court ruled they are performance standards and legal. Quota by any other name is performance standard. Same as you must make 300 widgets per hour etc for industry.
the female 2 cnd watch 010 th. district LT. another clout promotee will follow orders. what leadership............
Please start writing case reports for every call you respond too. We need to quit killing crime by coding out jobs. Take the ten minutes to write a report for all the bs calls, let the jobs stack up. Make sure you take a lunch and 2 15 min personnels. The command staff and mayor don't give a damn about the police ofc's. Write reports for everything and then let them explain what the real crime numbers are.
So don't do it. Let them kick you off your early start if that bother's you than you truly are a Mary.
There are so many supervisors that try to mess with everybody, taking them off cars for punishment. Yeah, smart idea stupid! Ok, so take me off my car, away from my partner. Now your garanteed that I will not give you any numbers.... At all!!!! What would that prove?
That's why this department is in the mess that it's in. Mess with our morale even more. What do we have on this job to look forward to? A pension we may never see? We get treated like crap from citizens on a daily basis, going from job to job because of low manpower. Make us live in this city that is so corrupt, we owe 20 million to a meter company! And politicians all get their sweet pensions for a part time jobs they have.
Changing things up is a "brainstorm" of many supervisors that they think will help the watch, when in fact it only going to worsen morale and make our working conditions more miserable. Why don't you ask us what we need to help you get the results you want?
Who cares? So u lose your car? Oh no now I have to work a DIFFERENT BEAT CAR, how awful. Same pay same hours sorry I'm not worried
How do any of us have any time to do anything proactive when we're going from job to job our entire tour plus with an everyday backlog of jobs and lunches denied due to little to no manpower. Fuck any boss that gets on your shit for not coming in with anything. This applies to the workers that actually want to fight crime and doesnt apply to the lazy dog asses that we unfortunately have on this job.
010 got a new commander? It looks like the old commander just had a sex change and changed names!
Prito and his idiot son in law were the worst.
to the guy saying that you won't check off with the 143s on the 1st watch by doing contact cards, shut up. We all know this Is you Lt. SC. There aren't that many people who actually do work like that on that watch anyway and none of them
Would write that, or anything on this blog.. Keep worrying about your curfews and your daily actuvity sheet. I was on the watch for a short time and saw first hand you roll your eyes Several times when I or other officers would bring in arrests, and I can't recall a single instance where the boss would even acknowledge the hard work the officers do related to the "143s" they speak about
Merits hacks....and a like cpd baseball team and 11th district tact team which all had the the answers to the tests. Yes please blame the the merit people, not cline and company.
Squad I've got 20 on the hood, I'm all good can I have the event number over the air.
Is she related to Kapt. Kolman (ret.?
What's sad is You will get coppers to do It just to keep a car take care of each other and the real victims otherwise do nothing she cant put everyone on a late car
Listen if you have a problem because she don't like dog asses get over it! She never did put a number on the activity that I heard of till now (on this blog), nobody is that dumb in this day and age.
However when she was on the street last week and asked for a couple car to assist her and about 6 or 7 cars showed up & that pissed her off, then went on to complain about it for two days afterwards that's some dumb shit too! News flash commander in a working district (not merit unit) we back each other up and appreciate back up, the more the merry'er! Get off your high horse! You are back in patrol! 010 was once a great district to work in, and you are tragically putting a fast end to it! But it's still the ghetto, you should be happy that anybody shows up to roll call to deal with this day in and day out. If the PO's wanted to be dog asses and micro managed they would leave 010 and go to some northside slow district where your Management style maybe accepted as the norm. Just remember the PO's working out there are gonna make you or break you. The bridges you burn don't always have to be your superiors.
I worked with Maria in 013 and can't believe she turned into such a jag-off boss!
*sings*
What do you with a problem like Maria....
Why not piss her and politicians off by writing up the illegal food vendors in the 10th district.
Easy activity , illegal vendors on every corner on 26thst , inside parks , playgrounds and outside every school .
Don't be afraid , you're only enforcing the law.
015- 2 P.O.'s assigned to 1513 are being dumped from their car due to low activity. Sergeants have been going around advising P.O.'s assigned to beat cars to amp up their activity if they want to remain on their car.
Maria Pena was a good copper as a patrolman in 013 & was basically well liked by everyone during her time there. That said, merit promotions are a bad idea especially when used repeatedly on the same person! Maria probably would have made a good Sgt. eventually...had she earned it. Sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for. Commander of 010....really Maria??!
Marqutte is a great working environment. It's a shame that the some of the police have to be told to bring in the minimum. Maybe because there are certain officers just have it too damn good! Just earn one hour of your work day. See, the old skool officers use to say, " you dont want to give them too much just enough to stay on your car". The problem is not only in Marquette is there are too many five year wonders never had that skooling so because our department is sliding down so rapidly, these kids see the seniors reaction, they feel that they are entitled. Boy,this dilemma is city wide so Marquette, it's not only you.
There are so many officers who would wish they can get to a decent district ea, if 010 is decent in my eyes, you must already know what death trap I'm in) I would double all those numbers, I would bring in activity. Maybe because I havent been taken care of by placing me on an early car to work with my bestie I just couldn't sit in my car all day and gossip and do my nails and makeup.
Your right, SCC, the officers in 010 should start coming in with zeros across the board, but they won't. The attitude of “looking out for yourself” on this department seems to be more and more prevalent. All you young officers who are kissing ass and bowing down just to keep your start time and/or car will find that in the end you are actually doing more harm to yourselves then you realize. If we stuck together we would have this city and department by the balls – I seen it happen back in 92. And guess what, the city and department caved! Why, because we STUCK together!
Looking at what the city offered CFD, you can bet the city is going to try and screw us. If we don't stick together, we are just making it easy for them.
Start using the GO's and the law to fight them. We can beat them at their own game.
Make sure those officers make a copy of those to-froms and forward them to the Department of Justice. Quotas are illegal, plain and simple. Just ask the NYPD "bosses" they'll tell you
It's really funny when she was in 25 telling people to go out and get guns.
Like it is so easy! You merit hack!
How many guns have you gotten in your career?
Let's take a look at your activity throughout your career?
Sorry 010. She is the worst. And it will only get worse because she is nothing but a politican abusing our uniform.
-025
Maria Pena nickname in 025 was "the lap dog" she was in Velez's office so much it was discusting. She is clueless and nothing but a pos.
I do not agree with quotas, but there are alot of 4 to 6 year wonders dogging the job in 10. So far no workers have been messed with. It is about time the dogs pitched in.
So you get kicked off your car. Whats the big deal. Go to a late car and do nothing if thats what you want.
Again you are looking at it all wrong. She wants movers. Give her movers. When the entire district is down on tvbs and there isn't anyone to answer calls I'll bet she changes her tune.
How many cars on 2nd watch in 010 are 10-4? Three?
Hahahah, those 2nd watch Sgt's are the biggest goofs I have ever heard. Why you people stay in 010 is beyond me. I hope they bring this to 011 because I want it in writing so my attorney can sue the pants off these bosses, and city. Now its time for me to take a nap and surf the web.
011 Do Nothing

Can't wait to see the Chicken Dance, the Hokey Pokey, The Bunny Hop and the Conga Line!!!
Woo-Hoo!!! Good Times!!!
I liked her in A5
You will still have these idiots running out there to get their numbers, so we have no one to blame but ourselves. Do nothing!
Is it Mexi-cago, Chi-troit, or the Sanctuary Shitty?
Well at least some commanders are promoted due to their good work and leadership, not race, creed, color, religion, sexual orientation, political clout or anything like that.
If you produce for her after threats, you are all morons.
Hey District Commander. Go Fuck Yourself and If I worked for you I would tell you to go Fuck yourself. Who the fuck you think you are as short as we are and working in these times. You got on when you were all shady and took and did whatever you wanted not what you were supposed to do to serve and protect. So leave these boys in blue alone we have enough handling our jobs being short. And one more thing " Go Fuck Yourself"
The idea is to get the Sgt's to screw with you all the time. She's putting big heat on them to make the P.O.'s come in with number's. Being busy as hell all day, running from one job to the next is not "activity" as her lap boy Sgt Ramon F was heard to be saying.
There's also been a car with a P.O. wasted every day for the last 2 months just sitting at 1900 s Troy, on all 3 watches because of some drug bust round up by OCD.What kind of stupid shit is that??? This is leadership??? It's Commander Pena's ship to sink, if she wants to. She'll learn that the P.O.'s in 010 may be bumped off car's for being to busy to worry about her idea of activity, but she's the one who goes to the COMP STAT meeting with shitty numbers because no one will work for her....
Same bullshit just started here on the 3rd watch in 18th. You know. former home of "george-ass" and currentl being run by his cronie and lap dog kenny angarone. He sent us a new DSS(paul mack) to fuck with us by changing our car assignments, partners, starting times and whatever else he can find. Speaking of find, hey SCC, can you find out what kind of problems this guy had on the 2nd watch and at his previous unit? Some are saying "legal problems". hmmm.
Give 'em a break, Leftenant Mack has to swim in the same sewer as the rest of the clouted in 018. Imagine if YOU were a DSS threatened with with banishment to 020 or 017 or heaven forbid some cushy unit...not an easy place to be in, pal.
.......and is he giving free OT for achieving these quotas like they did back in the day? If so would he please add that "first gun goes home" to the list.
The job is toxic and if you are to survive in an exempt position , you must become what they want. Personally, I don't think it's worth it. Maria was a great girl in 13.
Dude, it's ON!
Always been political but starting in 1988 it was the beginning of the end.
1988-- No sergeants promoted for years. Called a class of over 200-- Chief of Patrol sent them home. Why? Not enough minorities-- next step-- more minorities come marching in after classes eventually started- no matter what their test results.
1994-- Outside firm gives a sergeant and lieutenants exam.
1995--Class of 53 lieutenants start-- next thing-- city decides to merit promote 13 more. They come walking into class.
Almost 25 years of the nonsense and everyone wonders why the department is in the shape it is.
Go Figure
The Commander never said to get certain numbers all she said was that everyone should pitch in, not only a few of us should work while the others take it easy. She reiterated that it was only a few officers dodging it. I for one like her style, take care of the workers not the dogs. If you been affected than maybe you should take a look in the mirror. I still have my partner, starting time and car. No worries here.
She's the most arrogant, ignorant, racist, back-stabbing piece of shit on this job. Can't wait to see her fall from grace and get dumped back to lt... Karma is a bitch
Micro-management and fucking with people's furloughs is the surest way of busting morale and turning a good district into another Englewood.
Glad I got the fuck out of there

Thats funny. I am a 3rd Watch Sgt in 010. This To/From is only a more detailed description of the check off sheet you been filling out for the last 10+ years. It's a pain in my ass but not the end of the world. In a paperless Department, it wastes paper. Every new boss makes their changes. Sit back and wait. Eventually they all ease off and we continue to do our thing. Its a bosses job to try to come up with crime reduction strategies and with that sometimes it necessary for the Officers to step it up. 010 has become a war zone since this year began. Its not the new commanders fault, just too many gangs running around and not enough Police/back-up. Officers are less likely to stop and write a ticket, or make a quality of life, dope, reckless arrest, when shots are being fired or the jag offs are fighting with other PO's. Heardly a night goes by without a vehicle chase on Zone 10 or numerous foot chases requiring Officers to drop everything and join in. Reports keep coming in and the Officers spend as much as an hour and a half investigating and then trying to get to a working computer miles away from the call at the station. Handwritten paper reports were MUCH faster.
Im not agreeing with any leadership that uses threats in attempts to motivate Officers, but it will get better. Like any new Supervisor, they need to find out what works and remember where they came from. Recognize the good work and praise Officers when its due. Officers need to maintain control of the streets. With that, activity should automatically increase without someone having to "order" you to "do your job Office"...
I'm sorry to say this but if I bring zeros I fuck my self over no ot. Also like someone posted not everyone sticks together we have no unity so just say fuckit bend over because here it comes hopefully you remembered to put some lube that way it wont hurt as much
The best was when she dumped a couple of cops back to the watch from tact in 025 that had decent arrest numbers. It was a sacrificial lamb type of statement. Did the other tact teams unite and walk out?! Nope, they increased the number of one bag dope arrests because they are pussies that do what they are told.
The problem with this department:
"They are pussies who do what they are told."
Hey fuckheads..That's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to do what you are told....
You all wonder why the ship is sunk...
Quick, someone call Pam Zekman! She loves writing about quotas!

Well, she can't dump everyone. And chances are, if you're dumped from your car and end up with someone who is like-minded about the dept., lack of respect, etc. You might end up having the best time ever!
The best thing for you guys to do is to be indifferent to whatever she does. Dumping people from tact teams or regular cars is the only way she has left to fuck with you is rearranging partners/start times. Let her know you don't give a fuck and what does she have left?
And quotas are illegal. File a beef.

Total bullshit.
Back in the day, part of the fun was making up names for contact cards or curfews or whatever. Make some shit up, fuck up their whole data base.
I'm telling you, if I was a civilian and just walking down the street going wherever, I would be totally pissed if my name ended up on a contact card for no reason.
A clean-as-a-whistle citizen needs to sue the city for being a victim of this b.s. Although that might be hard to find.
What's next, contact-carding cops?

You're an idiot. If she treats you guys like shit, then that's what you give her in return. A shit sandwich. An empty baggie. There's something to be said about old-timers. When you stepped in shit, you went to them first for advice, not run to your sgt. They were more helpful than a sgt. any day. Now old-timers are dwindling in numbers, and you guys buy the bullshit from bosses and bend over, and even hand them the lube.
story overheard....
private civil plaintiff's attorney (c.p.l.): well, officer, you detained my client, and wrote what you call a contact card, and documented that stop....exactly why?
officer: well....because we have to do so many of those each day
c.p.l.: why?
officer: because we are ordered to do so....by our commander...
c.p.l.: for a quota?
officer: well, yes....
c.p.l.: you stop people, and write a contact card, to satisfy your commander?
officer: yes, sir....
c.p.l.: what if the person you're stopping doesn't need to be stopped? you stop them anyway?
officer: our commander needs numbers...
c.p.l.: ladies and gentlemen of the jury......

I work on 25 tact and that's crap. The two that got dump were way over due. They were riding the teams coat tails. Hang in there and give the Commander a chance we did and don't regret it. Just be the police

Dont turn this into a "this City is gonna burn" issue. The whiners who are against every bit of Police work on this job should worry.... You too may be required to do your job one day! If you didnt want to be a Police Officer, why did you apply? No surprise that its a dangerous, thankless, exhausting job. If you wanted to drive around looking cool in a nice ride, you shouldve stayed on welfare. Police have the responsibilty of getting out of the car and dealing with problems. Mother F**ckin them doesnt do anything to them (only gets you a complaint you cant fix). Arrests, tickets, tows/impounds, etc changes things. The bosses complain we are lazy, but if every PO out there instituted a "zero tolerance" policy, the public who be very unhappy in this City. Just do something during your tour and keep the numbers good. Just remember, they will always want more........
This has nothing to do with "quotas." What it has to do with is people not doing their job.
The same thing is about to happen in 003. A lot of the dogs are in for a rude awakening.
Always been political but starting in 1988 it was the beginning of the end.
1988-- No sergeants promoted for years.
Called a class of over 200-- {1 Nov '88 after a 3 1/2 years of testing there were 243 to be exact, up to #249 on the "Standardized" (whites dropped back 17%) list before Judge Prentiss Marshall but 6 were dropped for drug testing} Chief of Patrol (Deputy Mayor Tim something) sent them home. (Can you imagine the emotional crash after 3 1/2 years).
Why? Not enough minorities-- next step-- (13) more minorities come marching in after classes eventually started- no matter what their test results.
(Why did they go up to #249? Because #249 threw a motion into Prentiss Marshall's Court that said if the city was going to pass over people because they were white/male they should pay them Sergeant's pay and benefits until they were promoted or end of career. Judge Marshall left that option open. It pissed off the FOP lawyers who wanted to start a long expensive/profitable law suit.)
1994-- Outside firm gives a sergeant and lieutenants exam.
1995--Class of 53 lieutenants start-- next thing-- city decides to merit promote 13 more. They come walking into class.

Just do something during your tour and keep the numbers good. Just remember, they will always want more........
Maybe except the directive is coming from a three time merit promotee who everyone now is supposed to take seriously. This is the response your going to get if the department continues to abuse the so called merit system. These people get top spots, top pay handed to them on a silver platter and then they want everyone to work their asses off to make them look good. They get it the easy way but let the rank and file take all the risk. Sure plenty of us came on the job to work but in case you haven't been paying attention, this Mayor and many of the citizens don't want the police to be the police anymore, in fact when they are they get stripped and hung out to dry. What they want are revenue generators plain and simple.
No one, and I mean one should be triple promoted, it wreaks of impropriety because it is. Pay to play rules in this state, county and city. Liberal politicians have a lock on every aspect of the government including CPD bought and paid for. You can try all you want to put lipstick on this pig but it's still a pig.
All the shootings on the south side, how will they justify ANY north side merit sgt. We shall see. What a joke!

Back in the day, part of the fun was making up names for contact cards or curfews or whatever. Make some shit up, fuck up their whole data base.
I'm telling you, if I was a civilian and just walking down the street going wherever, I would be totally pissed if my name ended up on a contact card for no reason.
A clean-as-a-whistle citizen needs to sue the city for being a victim of this b.s. Although that might be hard to find.
What's next, contact-carding cops?

Last summer, during a summer CTA detail for PPO's, there was an officer overseeing those PPO's that contact carded a woman having a heart attack!
Guess all that time at the academy didn't teach her who to contact card!
Worked with Maria in 013 and she was a great police officer! She liked to work and did not like do-nothing dog-ass coppers....
If you aren't bringing in activity in 010 you probably aren't trying.
A good way to reprimand an errant boss is to stick an Idaho baking potato up their muffler. Causes no damage to the car but prevents them from starting it. Power to the Potato Heads!!!!!!!!
She is the Commander who is refusing to permit officers to use all the V-days they are entitled to by contract. She is denying furlough extensions because she can, even though 010 has more manpower than they've had in over a decade.
When you fuck with my furlough, you fuck with my family.
You fuck with my family, this I do not forgive.
To the kiss ass who wrote ur diatribe, Congrats, kiss asses equal merit, u should go far on this job. Just wonder why u don't include ur name ?? Hmmm
They are called realists

That may be a bit extreme, but a contact card is not necessarily an indicator of criminal intent on anyone's part. I have filled one out for any type of contact with a citizen just telling them it is a unit of work and telling the truth like we gave them a lift or spoke to them about a any kind of 19-P matter. No crime involved; just cop citizen conversation and the citizen can always decline if he/she chooses.

Don't forget the "gold-braid" enhanced pension for life along with the spousal annuity based on that rate.
MKerit promotion system? Yes, it is corrupt and needs to be fixed or eliminated. Gold stars and other rank holders who do not have the chops for the job? Yes, that situation has always been and always will be. Dog ass coppers who do little or nothing on the job and dare you to do something to them? Yes, those have been around since I came on the job in '68. Poor promotion and assignmet system that can be rigged for those who know someone? Yes, that has been around for many years. I was lucky and got a few promotions ( no clout) and I never could get an assignment to a good district on the north or south sides. But, I can tell you that at least half of the police officers on every watch that I worked in every district did little work . And, I can also tell you that every officer complained constantly about everything. I can see that nothing has changed.

Did she bring in 4 contact cards, 2 arrests, a TVB, an ANOV, school absentees and parkers?

Why are you doing a contact card on an ordinary citizen. So if a citizen asks you for directions, you are going to make a contact card just because you had a cop/citizen conversation.
You just lowered crime by 50%, you did a contact card.... awesome..

So she just hated herself....you must be her secretary. Hmmmm that explains it..
Pena is going to be our last problem if we keep getting new officers like we got out of this last class that stayed in 10 on 1st watch. Lazy ass cops except for 2 (PW,MF). They do absolutely nothing, dog jobs so they can be free for transports even when arresting officers have a cage car, paper jump like crazy, truly believe that they DESERVE a REGULAR EARLY car 2 days off their status, can't even process a simple weed arrest and a quote from one of our new 30 second wonders"When I get off my status, Im going to run shit around here" Then lets not forget trying to take lunch during a police shooting, take your fat ass back to being a bouncer. You're a disgrace to the uniform that you squeeze into even if no one can see you because you're stuck on station security or 19th Troy. Im shocked you can even drive a squad car. Isn't you DL suspended for financial reasons or did LT look past that because he was complaining about approving an arrest report for a 143a or a reckless, he pretty much complains about em all. OH GEEZ!!
You better get ready for daily inspection because Pena is gonna get angry at all this writing about Pena! As you know then write as many reports and code out as much equally=no time for activity=recall Pena!
hey sorry to hear whats going on there in 010, it aint any better in 015 i heard they have an over-promoted brain-dead leader that runs around the district looking for who knows what and when shit hits the fucken fan, pulls the chicken switch calling for help not knowing where the fuck she at...i said this dummy gonna get some one hurt out here and thats what happen not to long ago..for you dumb fuck commanders and white shirts get your head out your azz before you go out and do police work, in fact let the police do what they gotta do and stay inside doing what you done best!!

Just being there lowers crime
relocate stranded citizen at 3 in the morning CONTACT CARD
answer call about some silly problem and talk to citizen for 10-15 minutes CONTACT CARD
just write what is true down, what's the problem with that
it keeps the bosses off my back
Oh waaaaaaa!
Do a few darn parkers on the Pickups in 010 that haul Junk.
Or I don't know...get a little Industrious..anything over 4500 Pounds is able to be Towed, get your Iphone out and look up that Van or Truck with the D plate on it. Ticket and a Tow and you are down for a while and have activity.
How about zero tolerance on any illegal food vendors, peddlers, scavengers, ice cream trucks, flower peddlers, sales from vehicles, car dealerships dumping cars everywhere and having make-shift lots, drinkers, pissers (shitters), illegal tow drivers(trucks), non licensed/suspended/bogus insured DUI drivers, over 12 gangsta's riding bikes on the sidewalks, unlicensed alley mechanics, illegal "Rave" parties, etc, etc, etc.... Plenty of activity to shut down the whole District by tying up cars in the 1st 10 mins of your shift.
After a few weeks of that, go to the northend and add locking up the drug dealers, felony false report makers (he got a gun), trespassers at "Go Lo", "B.P." "Great Lakes Fish & Chicken", Illegal pirated DVD/CD salesmen, mini bikes, go carts, non licensed/suspended "high on whatever" drivers, prostitutes,illegal Douglas Blvd weekend party/ all day/night extravaganzas etc, etc, etc...
Then go back to the southend and lock up the gang banging jag offs, wife beaters, and mules moving millions in kilo's and tons of weed basically unchecked, etc, etc, etc...
Then work on the Forcibile Felony crimes and such.
Oh, I forgot.... Get separate events for each activity and call the action a "Mission". Keep the box covered! Gotta protect that corner till downtown decides the wasted manpower can end. Case reports dont count as your working activity. Write more parkers.....
Please dont forget to do your CTA, Park Checks as you fly towards the sound of automatic weapon fire....
These are just a few things you can work on to try be lucky enough to keep your cars and start times. If you cant find some activity by reading these suggestions, bid for the desk or lock-up... 1st Watch has an opening on the desk I hear.... Your welcome!
for all you officers in 010 and other districts just do what you gotta do fuck them bosses, answer your radio take that appropriate action. if the bosses want numbers or some kinda increased activity let them earn it! they have to respect us and not treat us as some street-misfit. how i would love all us in blue to really stick together and really make a statement....it would be awesome!!
some idiots get promoted for what they do best, just being an idiot!
well the idiots starts from the top from rahmie to mcdousch to a bunch of brain dead whitie tighties...
its our world out here, we run the streets not the stupid mayor, not carry dumb-fuck mcdummy or idiot commanders with no brain...yeah they sure come up with stupid dumb ideas on fighting crime but the truth of the matter it doesn't fucken work, wonder why? it aint gonna work perhaps man-power issues or moral? or stupid box missions? LOL what a joke!!!!
Let someone ask me for numbers....I give them a number or two alrite, kiss my azz !!!
Will Pena wear the Full Uniform like a District Commander is suppose to wear it! Set the example by wearing the Full Uniform or is Pena waiting for the next Uniform Check to buy the Full Uniform. Pena walks around the station with a sweater as an outer garment, with a shirt, no tie, no dress shoes, no hat, etc.
Where is the Leadership!
