Stop Taking Time Off!!

You bastards better knock it off:
  • Commander of 015 has hit a new low. Five people each were denied CU for both Fri and Sat on days. This is after the slips had already been signed by the XO. Commander just decided to deny the time, no reason in particular given, just you can't have your day off and slip returned by the watch commander.

    What's interesting is the note attached to the returned slips, (which is from the XO to the watch commander) says in part: problems arise when time is approved far in the future and the number of requests accrue over time. It needs to be the purview of the PRIMARY DSS, to monitor this and make appropriate adjustments...to ensure adequate coverage...on the watch.

    So, it needs to be the purview of the PRIMARY DSS, and the commander just comes along and denies time, even though I'm guessing all necessary beats would have been covered. (Otherwise the watch commander would have told us there might be a problem)

    Another order in the book reads in part: All requests for (time) must be submitted at least 7 days in advance. Requests submitted less than 7 days in advance will be rejected by the XO. This of course is being done for our convenience, so we can take advantage of the tour of duty exchange. Really?

    Everything going on in my life needs to be known 7 days in advance? Maybe I can get a job at the crystal ball unit.
Bad to worse in Austin. Maybe if someone pointed out that denying approved time off with less than 72-hours notice was a violation of the Contract and the General Orders, Barb would stop fucking up - not that that ever stopped her before in regard to illegal First Amendment investigations. Buckle up 015, the ride ain't getting any easier.

File a grievance thats all the officers can do. Ive seen bosses mess with po's and the po'
s say I think im going to file a grievance but NEVER do. All a boss can do is bounce you around from car to car. But then you might have a good case for a hostile workplace. Working a car for a year then after the grievance a change to your schedule. I would love it cause everthing is documented especially with this computer age. Be safe guys its just sad we have to worry about bosses messing with us. I see way to much backstabbing makes me sick.

009 just started with not allowing time off. The crazy commander thinks everyone in 009 eats, sleeps, drinks, and shits police work like he does.....But we DON'T, we have LIVES outside of work!! It also doesn't help that the fat bald 3rd watch Lt. W. is f#$%&g with everyone and splitting up partners just because he has a miserable personal life. And they think activity is low now.....

In the end do you know who I blame? I blame the officers who work in 015. 015 is very busy and despite the fact they treat us like shit, we go out there and generate tons of activity for them. Now that they treat us even worse and guess what will happen? The p.o.'s will continue to work their ass off.

If I were a boss and I treated my subordinates like shit and they kept working do you think I would change my behavior?

Well, after reading this, I would hope that no one from 015 would sign up for that voluntary crime reduction. They'll let you work your day off, but you can't take a day off? Fuck 'em. Come in with goose eggs. I know it's 015, and they practically jump into the back of the car, but I wouldn't give them anything. Answer the radio, do the reports, back eachother up, but don't give them anything that you don't have to. Good luck to all the blueshirts in 015.

FOP, are you doing anything about this? Haven't seen anyone at our roll calls. Too busy planning the picnic? Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. At this point, you could measure the moral on this department with negative numbers

015 has always been a shithole and a lousy place to work. It's been the traditional dumping ground for bad or troubled bosses including the current commander who thinks that it's our job to save and sacrifice for the "community" that has been lost for decades and one that despises the police. Well commander, fuc& the "community" and fuc& you too you inbred racist.

this has been happening in 010 since our new commander showed up and more recently that she appointed her super hack Cynthia white to do her dirty work. XO white has called officers at home at 2 pm telling them their time for 1st watch that night is denied (less than 8 hours notice). After you say I can't make it in, I'm in another state or no babysitter she says I'll get a cr if you don't show up tonight and hangs up. Even better the commander had Cynthia come into roll call and have the audacity to ask for curfews because we're down more than 50% from last year. Well last year we had a capt in EV who we respected and treated us well for the activity we gave him. Does she really think that officers are gonna produce numbers and generate activity for them when they are constantly screwing with people? It's sad that she wonders why the activity has dropped so low from last year.

Nothing will change. All of the young cops in 015 love to work. The bottom line is that even if you deny officers time off, they may be upset. But they will still come in with good numbers.

I have no idea what you are talking about. After all of the major changes made in 011 (time off denied on weekends to everyone, time off restricted on all other days, fixed foot posts, etc...) activity still stayed the same. No major decline in activity. Don't believe me? Check clear to see that 011 is still a working district. Officers in 011 are unhappy? Then they can find a new job. Activity is up and that is all that matters.

I guarantee people will still bring shit in. I don't mind making arrests but as far as anything else goes you can shove it up your ass. I can't remember the last time I wrote a parker let alone a curfew. You can't even use the excuse that most of these asshole bosses forgot where they came from because most of them were never the fucking police to begin with. I will never be pissed at any copper for working. It's your thing, do what you gotta do. You wanna write contact cards and then get shit on, whatever.

Next time don't answer the phone, and always make copies of approved slips. Had a boss try to do that to me the day before I was leaving for a cruise. I said ok, I'm calling the union, she backed off. We don't have much now, but what we do have, use it. The merit hacks only care about themselves.

Hmmm... No manpower problems in London for the Olympics:

12,000 police officers will patrol the capital every day of the Olympics, some with semi-automatic weapons.

Disastrously, the already controversial G4S private security company has announced it will fall short of numbers promised by 3,500.

Military personnel has to be drafted in to take their place.

That means that 17,000 troops will be on the streets of London — more than are currently in Afghanistan.

The note sounds like pre-written company b.s. I'm retired now, but I thought they got rid of watch commanders. And who outranks who, the XO or the DSS? Sounds like a repeat of "Who's on first?"

Why dont all you cry babies just shut your mouths! I see the same thing over and over in these districts yet I still see officers that are management on 2nd watch going out there and grabbing heads just to keep their spots. I got an idea dont do a dam thing for the city until you can get some time due! Here in 011 we got guys falling all over themselves to bring in that 1 rocker or TVB just so they can look good for the boss. Screw that! Stick together and bring in constant zeros and let it be known that will be the norm until CU/P days are not getting cancelled. XO Bay had the nerve to come to a 3rd watch roll call and demand more curfews and contact cards because the numbers were low. Not one officer or sgt had the stones to tell him to his face that wouldnt happen until this time off stuff stops. Filmore Rangers my arse, more like a bunch if scared sissies!

You have to respect an old timer like that still tearing it up,what a loss of gang intelligence and a dedicated worker for 009 but this is what the department does to hard working people.

This is now going on in almost every district and unit. Slips turned in requesting time off on fri - sat - sun now require a to-from explaining what, exactly, you have going on. Now bosses will have the power to decide if an event in your personal life is important enough to attend. In most cases you need documentation. Wedding? You better bring in a copy of the invite and explaination of how well you know the bride/groom. Kids birthday? You better bring in a birth certificate and the party better be on that day. If your kids b-day falls on Tuesday, you better not have that party on saturday. Going out of town or to a ball game? Copies and documentation please. No more taking time off just to attend a simple get-together.

I agree with a lot of the comments on here. 15 has a lot of very very proactive police that love doing the job. Second they wont slow down and will keep bringing in numbers. Its not everyone but its enough of them. Lastly this commander is horrible. Green whether you liked this guy or not ( alot of coppers did) was the police and knew the type of people we were dealing with. West is the opposite. Nothing at all against those that work inside (i really mean that) but for her to be an inside boss her whole career them come to a district was not a good idea. I don't care if its 12, 10, 007 or 20. She was not ready to work outside.
But she's a company woman and wont be going anywhere for awhile. Be safe everyone.

The war between the drones and management has begun. If you have respect for yourself and value your wellbeing take note. The upper management, garry nyc included have been chosen to systematically dismantle the cpd as you have known it. Garry has messed up royal in many ways in his tenure as an nypd po, was always a good shit talker, never had any shame talking from both sides of his mouth. Moved up in rank because of nepotism and the fact that the powers that be had him by his nut sack. All this bullshit compstat, cpd had a different name and never had to fudge results as systematically as garrys nyc fallacy in policing. Same can be said for upper management, if you notice ,commanders in, 10, 15, 3, previously in 7, currently 5, 14, 11, lts (ox) same districts have all had a major fuck ups in their careers. Yet, they still became your bosses, bobbled head yesmen/women ready to do the bidding of dismantling the current chicago police department culture and warrior spirit. Garry nyc was brought here to do the same, because it worked so well in his previous spot, where their is a federal lawsuit pending. Imagine his greatness that the powers that be in nyc had taken a pass, maybe now that hes fucked up another department, nyc will give him the spot he so covets so much. We all know mediocrity and carnival barkers are the rage in this city. Prepare you blue shirts for the fight of your law enforcement lives. You got the citizendry and your own brass against you. He will mold you with "legitamacy" training, because you dont already know what your choosen career entails, nyc thinks you blue dummies are the cause of all that is wrong with the neighborhood you work at and your attitude as a human being. They will shove down your throat a "wellness" program and penalize you for not participating. When its documented that LEO's(blue shirts) are at higher risk, for strokes, heart ailments, sleep disorders, back and joint ailments. The FOP will sign off on it. Diabetes, asthma,high cholesteral, cancers, etc. can be hereditary, no ironman preparations will stop it. Most LEOs work outside where the environment can be cruel. Yes, you signed up for this! But the new regime has forgotten to abide by contractual rights and rights of a worker, OSHA be damned. First step the "wellness" "legitamacy"soon it will be in the contract that "eugenics" will be employed thru the blue ranks, all sick with chronic illinesses or IOD, 10 lbs over weight, bmi over 10, will be systematically be made unwelcomed members of the ranks. It wont matter if you 30 years in, your out fighting for disabilty pay from the almost bankrupt pension plan. To all the officers that have worked this department, please has this city, department ever not take advantage, when you concede, just a little? Cpd is being pushed to the brink of the US against them mentality and RAHMULUS I is relishing every minute and every second of it. Just check out his rahmpolianic pose, hand on chin, intense eye glare. The stage is set and history is playing right before your eyes and returned "denied" to due slips. Extra activity should be nil. Help the citizens, provide professional and courteous service, most citizens our in your corner. Let them bounce you around. Take notes of all the stupid administrative decisions being made in your workplace, even those being blamed on garry. Bare with the fact that you might be taken to the brink of despair. Let your family and friends know whats going on. they see your sacrifices. Come your christmas party at the end of the year, plan an alternative, where the brass can go fuck themselves. Show your comraderie in other ways, stick together, back each other up. This fight is yours to fight. G-d Bless , back each other up and as always be safe officers.

Nothing will change. As a matter of fact it will get worse. Because there are fools on this job who go out of their way to bring in activity just so they can keep their beat car. It truly is pathetic. We are so lazy that we won't even help ourselves. We look to others hoping they will help our cause (i.e. the media, FOP, etc.)

Even better the commander had Cynthia come into roll call and have the audacity to ask for curfews because we're down more than 50% from last year. Well last year we had a capt in EV who we respected and treated us well for the activity we gave him. Does she really think that officers are gonna produce numbers and generate activity for them when they are constantly screwing with people? It's sad that she wonders why the activity has dropped so low from last year.

7/26/2012 03:54:00 AM

At last! A decrease in the decrease! Bravo! Anybody who comes in with curfews is a goof...and should be treated as such. It's a shame we've lost most of the old-timers who would have set guys straight.

It's time, but as always the main problem here is the PO's. They keep on coming with the numbers. There has to be something done as we have seen, it appears that our contract doesn't mean anything to the city. There has to be a stop to the parkers, movers, curfews, school absentism. Nowhere in the contract does it say that you have to write any of these citations. As long as you respond to your jobs, make reports, lock somebody up if you have to. You don't have to worry about nothing else. When you sit at roll call and the bosses tell you hey we are low on parkers, movers and so on. They are setting quotas, but what happens PO's go out and get the bosses what they want, why because they are on management or don't want to lose their starting time or their car. And these same people bitch because they can't get a day off. So the answer to the problem stop generating money for a city that doesn't care about family time. And then maybe they will start listening to the needs of PO's. The union is useless period....

Crime out of control in this city. We're something like 2000 police officers short.

Officers jobs are harder and more dangerous than ever. Stress, long hours and danger level at an all time high. All a copper has is his or her family and close friends. Taking a day or two off for a wedding, birthday, anniversary or bbq for some stress relief or fun is next to impossible now.

I work all over the place on midnights in a shit hole district in the south and let me say, the biggest at fault here are the tac units in this shit district bringing nothing but garbage arrests or heads just to stay on tac because most of them are to scared to come back to the regular watch and do real police work. And before any 2,3,4 year wonder hairgel on tac or special made up unit says anything "fuck u all very much" for making your bosses happy with numbers and always remember nowadays bosses dump u no matter what ur bringing in. I know because there has been many unhappy campers (ex-tac)coming back to the watch not doing nothing or worthless to any partner and with the usual comment "I decided to come back to the watch because (good bullshit story) when in reality they found out the truth about bosses just using u or got dumped.
Been on the job for 23 yrs. and believe me either get out soon or start looking elsewhere, the boat is sinking fast......

Our Boss said to CW at Roll Call we have less cops than last year and we are running from job to job. We now have these Overtime Units working in 10, not taking jobs and “poaching” curfews we are not getting credit for. Another officer said when he checked his stats his curfews were not credited so maybe the district wasn't getting credit for them either.

Captain CW didn't want to hear any of that and left the room in a huff.

Pena and CW have taken 10 from being a great place to work into a real pit.

I’ll add to that, maybe with all these shootings, because Rahm and McDufass haven’t been hiring cops, maybe Westside mamas and aunties are making the kids stay home so there are fewer curfews to write. Take that to your ComPost meeting.

Fuck you rahm and gary.....u managed to turn this depatment and city into shit. I'd rather live in Detroit. One loves luis fuckerkan and the other blames pilgrams and white officers for the disconnect with the black community. Unfucking believable. Keep genetating money for these assholes who take it from you, then give it to fucking CEASEFIRE. Keep pinching pennies you political dicks so animals can run the streets where police officers used to be. Those officers retired with their minimal pensions and the vacancies never filled. Officer safety is no concern to them or the incompetent brass in this dept.

when you burn time you in fact are working "unpaid" since you are buying that time back by giving them 8 1/2 off your books. Try taking time off in a 'no-pay' status, maybe because you're out of time, and see how that works out for you. Bottom line is, medical leave act or not, it is a cowardly move to deny time 24 hours after a copper has a kid because you are afraid to tell the Supt. why you gave the guy time.

Barb, PLEASE go back to human resources/IAD/CAPS where you came from. You have NO IDEA what being a police officer is all about. Your best buddy CW is a racist POS and you are too.

You told us all we needed to know when you went to 015 and led not one, but two, Trayvon Martin protest marches linked arm in arm with the citizens of Austin. You are self-serving and don't give a rat's ass about police officers.

Yeah, we all know the pressure is coming from above, but your handling of it is piss-poor. Notice only a few districts are being singled out in this thread. That's because other places have bosses who came from districts (as coppers) and learned how to deal with adversity.

Captain WHITE has been getting a bad rap for years. Show her respect and you will get it back. Try and talk to her in a friendly way. She is one smart boss that will have your back.
Walter Green is a another great guy. Walter wants everyone happy and knows his shit.
So please hair gels...stop the dissing on the few good old time bosses around.
The C/O of 010, I must agree is a hook to the little village politicians.

Captain White getting a bad rap for years, why were the Feds able to get her to wear a wire when she was in the Deuce years ago.

Friendly? Smile in you face and stab you in the back friendly. She can't undo the misery she has already created. Smart? Maybe she can figure a way out of a jam for you if she wants to; but there is no smarts in making everyone miserable.

She is not now, never was and never will be one of the few good old time bosses left as she is making them miserable also.

Walter Green isn't in 010 and probably wouldn't be doing what she is.

The C/O in 010 is the hook of Little Village politicians, must be because it ain't her police leadership.

Do you think maybe she's getting the bad rap because she deserves it you dimwit? She'll have your back alright... with a dagger in each hand. Show her respect and talk to her friendly and she'll take that as a sign of weakness and target you specifically on a daily basis just for kicks. That's one sick woman.

Everyone whining need to STOP and come together to fight as one. I remember when we marched against
J FED we had officers saying, "it has nothing to do with me" and "I dont have time". WTF???
To the 015 district troops UNITE!!
015 commander is running around like an unstable Boss BUT I guess the way it sounds is that all the commanders are. The answer is get rid of Rahmn, Mc Carthy and mostly FOP.
Lastly, the ofc that feels that CW is racist she's not and I'm NOT black (we have bigger problems than bashing one of our own about an untruthful statement :-().

I snicker when I read guys telling 2nd watch management personnel to slow their activity. So, lemme understand this: Those PO's are supposed to risk being dumped back to 1st or 3rd watch, and not doing what's best for their families for what? To make some of you happy? Get The Fuck On with that bullshit! Funny thing is, most of you making the suggestion are on 2nd watch your dam-selves...by BID. So, from the safety of your BID protected position, you'd have them fuck up their position, which is almost solely based on production? If even 1 management PO buys into your hypocritical bullshit, they'll deserve getting dumped back to the less desired watch."


*** The above poster is a prime example of what is wrong with this department!! Hey Officer One-Way, we all have families, but sometimes you have to go out on a limb and step up and do what is right for EVERYONE, not just you and your family. Try looking at the big picture. This is about trying to get EVERY officer time due. Don't worry, keep sucking your chinaman's ass so you can keep that management spot. Oh, I'm sorry, you didn't get on days from clout, you got there 'cuz you're a hard worker? Yeah, ok!

You are snickering at other coppers because they want everyone to stick together. What a stroke you are!

OK let me understand your point of view, you are saying that it's OK for management people to keep on bringing in activity right because the people that are on bid don't have to worry about activity. Just so you understand you decided to be on this job and just like everyone that is on bid they put in their time to get a bid position. Ex. In the 010 district, you need about 12 years to be on 2nd watch on days on bid. I would say that the majority of these po's that are on bid earned that right. Now in this same district there is po's that are on management that have always been on days right after their probation was over and have never worked afternoons or midnites because somewhere along there they have a phone call. So fuck you and your management position because someone that's on days with 4yrs on the job, to me hasn't earned the right to be on days. So to all po's that are on management stop bringing in the activity because we are on the same boat. We are either going to float together or sink together.

009 just started with not allowing time off. The crazy commander thinks everyone in 009 eats, sleeps, drinks, and shits police work like he does.....But we DON'T, we have LIVES outside of work!! It also doesn't help that the fat bald 3rd watch Lt. W. is f#$%&g with everyone and splitting up partners just because he has a miserable personal life. And they think activity is low now.....


Spot on with Dave. This job is, and always has been, his life. Therefore he really can't grasp why anyone would want elective time off. He's obsessed with guns, is a workaholic , and is being played like a puppet by HQ.
Not a bad guy but nuttier than all get out.

Listen you cmoplete idiot. Its because of suck asses like you who ruin this job and give the power to the city and the bosses. Dont give me that family bullshit, any other police job you would have, in any other city would put you on the watch they needed you on regardless what family hardshhip you had. Your predicament aint special because you work in Chicago. Management spots on this job have completely voided our contract. Its because of guys like you that we have no power. Unite, dont bring them shit and we will regain our power. And yes, the guys who have a bid spot have every right to complain about hacks like you. So shut up and get some time on!!!!!!!!!!!

Lieutenant W. in 009 has gone out of his way to help his troops. He always approves training and has been good at giving time off. It is just a bad apple or two who are trying to speak for the entire watch. For those who are negative on this blog, you need to stop blaming when things don't go your way.

There are District Christmas-Retirement parties, usually $60 a ticket at a high-class place.

Then there are Watch Christmas parties about $25 each at a dive. The Watch parties are always more fun but do you think they will let anyone off for either one?

The 3rd watch Lt.W is a tool. He mumbles during roll call, he's the only one who laughs at his jokes and he does screw lots of officers when it comes to taking time. In his latest adventure, he believes he gets to decide how many days off or vacations you can take a year. Even when the days are open with no one asking for time. He really needs a life and a good book on managment/leadership to read. What a good idea!!
