All Hands On Deck
If you read the Bike Unit rumor just below this one, this seems to tie in:
- McCarthy is in a major meltdown.
All three national news networks will do lead stories on Chicago's murder rate. CBS is calling Chicago one of the most violent places in the world.
McCarthy realizes that this is now his last stand. It appears that ALL units will be sent to district patrol. The words out of his mouth are, "The only mission for all police is to get murders down."
No narcotics, no gang intell, no mounted unit, no marine unit, no traffic enforcement, no unnecessary admin spots. EVERYONE is going to a south or west side district. ET's are also going back to the district with the mandate to process crime scenes as fast as possible. McCarthy thinks it's a waste to keep cars down for crime scene protection.
Headquarters will no longer be open 24 hours. Only CPIC will be in the building after business hours.
No one is going to miss anyone at HQ.
With parade season winding down, we can see mothballing the Mounted Unit.
No Traffic Enforcement? They're gutted to the bone anyway - they might not be missed.
No Gang Intelligence or Narcotics? Not smart.
No Marine Unit? With everyone taking their boats in over the next 60 days? With all the rescues this summer? With the possibility of a school strike on the horizon and kids free to play at unattended beaches? This one would be measured in dead bodies.
We are entering the theater of the absurd.

The bike unit will never be disbanded. It is too important of an area they cover/ are visible.
More with less... Please pass the tomatoes. ROTF!
"Apparently, the big boss has lost respect for the sergeant who turned down a promotion unless he could keep control over his collection of uniform mannequins to display around downtown coffee shops.
Sup says 12 years is long enough to avoid patrol."
I actually believe this part of the rumor.
Let me guess this is from the same guy that says big changes coming friday.
The biggest shock would be to the bike unit secretary when she goes back to a district and realizes she doesn't have the same powers to mistreat and belittle PO's.
Does he realize when people get forced to places thay don't want to be, do NOTHING.
He should start with the 765 team. A wanna be tact team that only makes pimpy arrests and always calling for a beat car to write reports for them
Pffft..it's all drama.
When they pull Burke's, the ex mayors, and a few others security detail so that they have "more boots on the ground" then maybe they're serious.
McPilgrim is running out of options. His next move will be to tell retired coppers that they also will be working in a District. Since they collect a check, they can answer calls.
"We are entering the theater of the absurd."
break a leg.
Chalkie
Stick it in his ear!
Sure, send ETs back to districts. Maybe they can go back to the hours that the districts work before the Forensic bosses took it upon themselves to change them. There isn't even enough to send one ET per district per watch.
And is anyone really dumb enough to tell ETs to make sure you process this as fast as possible? Shall we compromise the court case from the start? Defense attorneys are paying attention.
Go fuck yourself, McJagoff.
SOooooo, how's that Mayoral thing going for you, Rham?
Having worked NATO with the bike unit there sure are some prima donas there. But non tops Mr. Coffee Hands.
NO time due, NO new contract, NO me give a rats ass. When dude runs from a crime scene, I'll put out a description and wait there for Chalky.
SOooooo, how's that Superintendent thing working out for you, Gary?
I agree with this one. Put everyone in a beat car/rapid response and give people comp time.
Let's be real, the blue shirt performing the street/traffic stops cut crime.

Sure starting to look like Daley knew what was coming when he got the hell outta here.
I'AM CARRYING EXTRA MAGS WHEN I LEAVE THE HOUSE.... this shitty is up for grabs, you are not safe anywhere in this fucking city anymore
Desperate men call for desperate measures.
Or something like that.

This strategy is bound to work. Great idea boss. Nevermind I'm only joking with you. Fail Fail Fail Again.
Hey Napoleon McCarthy, looks like your Waterloo.
I say put the dicks in uniform too and send them out to districts.
"All Hands On Deck"
Heh... Heh-Heh!
Heeee-Heeeee!
*Munching popcorn and taking a sip from the Big Show 128oz "Bladder Buster."*
This movie is gonna be FUUUUNNNNN!
Wait for the scene when the S.S. CPD is going under, the camera will cut to the control room and McFuckmylife finds himself chained to the wheel with Rahm al Ghoul who tried to bogart a seat on a lifeboat disguised as a woman.
"Out of my way peon! You didn't build this!"
You can't even be mad about this shit anymore!
Well... At least earlier in the flick, the exempts and their sponsors were poked from under their beds at bayonet point, marched topside in chains and sewn into a sail weighted with cannon balls.
The Marines actually smiled when they kicked, clubbed, piked and bayoneted the howling, squirming, crying and shitting bundle of joy overboard...
Get those bodies at call back back to the streets! There are stripped folks over there who would die to get back out in the trenches. Give them a spanking and let them back on the streets. Soem have been there for several years anyways so they have already had their mind-fucking. I was there for 4 plus years and know its great to be back in blue.
Sounds like Hitler inside the bunker as the Allies and Russians are on the outskirts of Berlin. Desperate and delusional.
Send the open liquor DPW tact teams from the north side tot he ghetto and have them earn that privilege of wearing soft clothes...
This is fucking insane. Do they really think shuffling people do the shitty districts is going to solve anything? All it does is move shit around the entire city. I was in 024 by Devon and Damen. I grew up there and went to St. Henry. God I saw so many gang bangers and pieces of shit it left my jaw hanging. Plus right by the 7/11 you would think it's the west side with people hanging out, drinking, playing dice and talking real loud.
This scene is being slowly repeated through out the north and northwest and southwest sides of Chicago. All decent places to live but now they are all slowly changing.
The criminals are not stupid. They know where to go where there is less police heat on them so they can ply their trades.
Superintendent wants to know where the strawberries are? Sounds like a real life version of The Cain Mutiny is coming shortly.
McNero start fiddling.
Isn't Ceasefire an Farrakhan making a difference?
"No Marine Unit? With everyone taking their boats in over the next 60 days? With the possibility of a school strike on the horizon and kids free to play at unattended beaches?"
Time for people to take some personal responsiblity. There people falling off their boats or falling in the water need to be more careful. We don't need government to be our brains. Darwin is at work. I'd rather have cops on the street than sunning on a boat.
"Sup says 12 years is long enough to avoid patrol."
Clearly he still doesn't realize he's in Chicago.
Look at the numerous high-ranking bosses who've made their entire careers avoiding patrol.
let the bodies hit the floor!!!!! let the bodies hit the floor!!!!!
let the bodies hit the floor!!!!!!
Yeah, we will prevent murders. Keep dreaming. That 2% raise is enough incentive to jump right out there and put my ass on the line to save some gangbanger from getting killed. We are no more than armed secretaries at this point. We aren't backed up, we are always thrown under the bus. There is no respect. You have gang bangers spitting on white shirts and then when they're put in check, the white shirt gets convicted of two felonies and loses his job and pension. No thank you. You can stick it McCarthy. Get morale up, provide us with a decent contract with a legitimate raise, and the pension needs to be taken care of and not at our expense for all the irresponsible spending over the years. This isn't even scratching the surface because the fact that people on the job for 7 years haven't even SEEN a promotional exam. So WHERE again is the incentive for stopping shitheads from killing shitheads?? Exactly as I thought. 1st and 16th.
We always post negative comments against each other; hairgel, 5 year wonder, 2 year wonder, dogass, etc. How about for one day(24hours) everyone unite. 2 year wonder with revolver police. For one day if everyone in patrol can absolutely do nothing. No activity what so ever. Show the mayor, alderman and supervisors that we are sacred cows. Everyone in patrol just answer your jobs and only arrests made would be on signed complaints only. No parkers, movers, anovs, contact cards. Nothing. I bet the the powers that be would start thinking twice about denying time. SCC should select the day and we should see how united we can be!
Rahms Emanuel needs to do something about the murder and violence rate or he has zero chance at becoming president someday.
Mounted won't be mothballed. The investment there is too large, and besides, they only have about 26 riders, throwing them out to districts would be like sticking a finger in a dike...won't stem the flow of blood & bullets anyplace. And miracle of miracles, if the Bears go all the way this season, you'll need Mounted to contain
the bedlam we all know will be coming downtown, and everywhere else.
gangs and narcotics IS where the vast majority of murders come from idiot.
And all the other units have an important role in policing as well.
this guy is a clown.
ok so with this strategy murders will go even higher.
Let the coast guard handle the lake - international water thanks to Canada lol. That is a bad move As for the rest? This move is LONG overdue. Maybe I'll actually have a partner for the first time in months!
Doesn't make sense. Maybe bikes and mounted will be seasonal. But bikes are assigned to 018 or 001. But if they complain they lose bike spot and go to beat car. gangs, narcotics and marine can be moved but that won't happen because a police department needs those units. There are 15-20 Et's citywide. Between Rdo and watches not many on street due to manpower. Over 95 percent of police officers at hq work second watch not nonbusiness hours. So that won't matter in terms of bodies. All a big fuss about nothing.
Ot- 007th district supervisor's finally have had enough of the xo. Two left already and others trying everything they can to get out. Sad- one thing we have going for us here were the good white shirts. But his bi-polar attitude has them fed up. Good luck to the new ones that will be assigned there. Just kiss his ass and you will be fine.
McCarthy is a clown, should of been axed months ago!
Sounds perfectly resonable to me. I cant't beleive no other Sup has done this in the past. Genius!
Pack your shine box and hit the road McMoltenMagma
Well, I am already in a busy district (south). What can they do to me? Any change for me will be an improvement.
Maybe the dets will be back in uniform.
Not defending McCarty.... For has been a mush from the jump, but why would you ever want to take the helm of a sinking ship? Money / Greed can be the only answer. Shuffle the police manpower however you want, eventually all shell games end at some point. Until thousands of new police are hired, the downward spiral will continue. Hire a Qualified Supp (nation wide search) & one that will work for the Taxpayers of the city of Chicago and it's Police Officers and not for King Rahm. No Other Way to fix this MESS
If the Romney Campaign was smart, they would be exploiting the epidemic of violence and Chicago's status as the Murder Capitol of the USA.
Romney should be airing commercials linking Rahm, Rich Daley, Bill Daley, Hilary and Obama to the most corrupt and most violent city in the USA. Democrat controlled by a corruption machine that produces the highest taxes in the nation, denies it's citizens their Second Amendment Constitutional Rights, rampant violence, the highest rate of homicide in the civilized world, the largest amount of gang members in the nation, the nations worst public school system, a faltering infrastructure and a record unemployment rate, one of the highest concentrations of illegal aliens in the country, illegally mandated by sanctuary status.
Let the country see and know Chicago Values, and say addios to Obama!
Somewhere, Jody Weis, is laughing his ass off.
Never thought I'd say it, but I'd love to bring back Jody (BBJ).
What's next mandatory cancellation of R.D.O. 's indefinitely??
At what point does McNutty and Rahm admit that (1) they've let manpower fall to dangerously low levels and (2) in some parts of town you can put boots on every corner and murders are still going to happen. It's the culture stupid.
David Axlerod needs tho be linked to Chicago violence and homicide.
Destroy the brains and structure behind Obama and reap the reward!
The NYC clown can only parrot manipulated statistics and spin questions and concepts to deflect his inabillity to reduce rising crime, homicides, violence and a huge manpower crisis.
Garry = Epic Fail!
Bring back Jody!

In 2009 Sweden total MURDERS was 93.*
The UN included euthanasia in that number which is LEGAL and private in a Country where every able body man has a Uniform and a fully automatic assault weapon in his closet?
What are the totals for the little City of Chicago so far this year and 2009?
I'm checking Switzerland to get an accurate number, they have the same two conditions.
Later! If there is one?
Yea, another SCC rumor about another unit getting disbanded. Please. . .
I've seen it here plenty of times before. And rarely, if ever has it come to pass. TRU and MSF did in fact get the axe, but only after years of unsupported assertions of imminent action.
I guess the vague quatrains of Nostradamus too, can be seen as "accurate". Given enough time, one of them is bound to "hit"
Based on past SCC "rumor" provenance, you can probably give the Bike Unit another 5 years until it gets the axe. And then the schmucks here will be jumping around saying "I told you so"
time to go retire fuck this city

Why doesnt Gmac shut down that ridiculous DOC unit and put those officers on the street? And all the inside officers who spend all week collecting forged stats and exagerated data and putting it into the big fat blue binder that they hand carry for their exempt boss to the weekly compstat meeting - put them on the street!
Hey Gmac - You could be the man of the decade if you do this one thing - Stop Compstat! Even try stopping it for 4 months and watch what happens. You will take the pressure off these nincompoops who are most worried about not knowing the answers to your questions and being singled out in front of their colleagues. These morons can't do two things at once. Let them have a break with Compstat cramming and focus on stopping and solving crime.
Try turning the police back into police. Every cop goes back to the street. But that means every cop. Quit fkg with the specialized units. There's plenty of capable and fit officers working desk jobs.
All inside positions should be filled only by retired or disabled officers hired back by the city as civilians at half salary and 4 hour days. Now you have the experience and knowledge still within the police department, and you help supplement lost income for retired or disabled police.
Case management offices within detective division is the perfect place to start this pilot program. Everyone knows that scam.
There would be another 4-9 et's if the forensic boss didn't have so many doing bullshit admin jobs. Or how about Joe's three boys that now do very little crime scene scans, let them do forensic work at the scenes, or how about the FI's who are working in photo, admin but Joe has to take care of HIS people to hell with what is best for the few FI's left Hell all these bodies would help cut processing times down, light duty can do admin jobs.
I heard that the Marine unit and swat guys were planing to be detailed out after summer to 311, with their only job to take low level reports, that won't effect the crime stats much.
Mcstupid is starting a new program to have more calls sent to 311 for phone reports, he is trying to change the type of calls the beat cops have to respond to, he does not want them held down on non- part 1 crimes.
So if I remember correctly, he is planning on sending the marine unit, mounted unit and swat people to 311 from around 90 to 120 days starting in either November or December. Then returning them in march when the summer starts up again.
Then for the summer months he plans on taking two guys from every dist for a 90 day detail 311 mission team,untill the winter next season.
I know it was a discussion right after someone from one of those units pissed off the mayor. Prob swat if I had to guess.
We will see.

OT: Unemployment Report and CompStats.
Have you seen the new Illinois unemployment reports that are now broken down into legislative districts?
Reads like a page out of CompStats
Check 'em out here
See,
This will make the: "look over here not over there" game a lot easier when it comes to the unemployment numbers.
I mean come-on you can always find one district in Illinois that is doing better than the other ones and even if they are all negative you can then always showcase the worst one.... like say those poor bastards in the Englewood province and proclaim boy am I glad I don't live there eh?
Makes you feel good about yourself even though the entire state is shit don't it? Yeah...think about it.
Anyways... but what does this new information tell us really?
I mean like how many people really work and live in the same congressional district for example?
Consider the suburban companies that announced recently moving here with their employees working out of the city while living in the burbs and ask yourself what do these new reports mean.
And another thing.
Look at the reports. They're a joke.
They take the approx. 40% of the unemployed that have been collecting unemployment for over 26 weeks and they drop them off from being counted in the tables and bar graphs because they are on the extended benefits fed program.
Then they turn around and tell us that the average time on unemployment is just 12 weeks..lol Yeah..right,,,after they dropped off the 40% of people on extended unemployment.
And then look at those bar graphs!!
I'm looking at the overall state report and it's comparing numbers from this year vs last year.
The percentage change between the two bars numerically is like from 75% to 72% yet the bar graph illustration is showing one bar way over half the size of the other creating an illusion of significant improvement of like 50% or more. Are you kidding me!?
See what I mean?
They throw out the long term claims and that's 40% of your data right there and then they give you a bar graph showing the % of people that dropped out in the first four weeks. So just keep chopping and slicing the numbers until you either confuse the krap out of everyone or you find something positive to report.
Like crime is down.
You know damn well the majority of people will just glance at the bar graphs without reading the little footnotes and say OH look how much better things are getting..lol
Put commander MOY in uniform on the street ,she think catching burglars is easy. she talks it now lets see her in action.
CompStats == Pilgrim Press.
OH, HELL TO THE NAW! If I have to put my shoes back on, go back to patrol and actually do some muthafuckin work, all hell is gonna break loose! Anybody seen my duty belt?
So....no more cops writing. Street cleaning early in 018?
About time they pull the Segway stroke
Rumor is Illinois State Police will be sent back to patrol
Tiny Dancer 9.5 should let the police go back to being the Police. As long as the "command staff" appears to be a resting place for "political fellatio" practioners and the supervisors are mostly merit hacks, shitcago will continue on its present course of "crash & burn.
More Police must be hired ! To start winning the game all field positions must be filled.
It's time for daley to get over himself & his vendetta against the Department. The Police didn't make Daley look like a schmeckell head, he does that very well without any help.
Street cops need to be the ones leading & supervising the department.
If this department was like a prestigeous hospital, you would Not make a jailed aldercreatures brother a Brain Surgeon, etc, etc, It's time for the department to become a law enforcement agency again. Leave the political appointments for Streets & Sanitation, Water Dept, etc
Send McCarthey back to his bar stool in New Jersey, its where he really belongs
Well, it's a good thing you guys have a contract to back you
if you send ET's to the district how will it be decided who gets one of the 12 working cameras in the whole unit. we don't need no stinkin' cameras!

Three national networks? Fox routinely kicks their competitors asses' in a number of key time slots, and the only people that don't watch at least some of their shows are Rachel Maddow & her wife.
It sounds like they will be getting everyone out there except front office people from the 019th District and, of course, Community Policing from 019.
Lots of mention of front office dollies here but never a peep about the clout baby MK in Community Policing.
Maybe being related to deposed alderman Ted Matlak still has benefits. After all, it only seems right that the city should pay $86,000 a year to a full duty male police officer to install car seats for yuppie families. Especially when every other swinging dick is getting sent to the jungle to try to calm the savage beast.
We'll see how good this new commander is when he faces the barrage of phone calls to protect the few, the proud, the good for nothings.
And don't forget the $40,000 per year civilian crossing guard supervisor who was sent packing in favor of a female relative (sworn) of a former commander who is paid $86,000 yearly to do the same job.
Some days the office staff outnumbers the entire 2nd watch working the street.
Go to it Commander Voulgaris.

I just saw the McD-Bag interview on Chicago Tonight from 16 AUG. What a complete asshole. The interviewer however, used a poor example of how Constat fudges the numbers. He used sexual assaults as his example and McBlockhead jumped all over him. Maybe he should have used Agg Batt/Batt, Burglary/CTTP, Robbery/Theft, Murder/Death Investigation. I did notice McCarthy gettiing hot under the collar during this questioning. Then, when asked, he says he has no knowledge of the book "The Numbers Game", and tried to debase the authors by saying they were not with NYPD when Constat was being used.

Plus, we're already in districts with satellite offices. I don't give a fuck if they put me in uniform. Would actually make getting dressed a lot easier.

8/19/2012 06:34:00 PM
On the November election Ballot there will be a proposal to allow the state to change pension legislation by a 3/5 majority rather than holding a constitutional convention. My understanding is that if passed the State and city of chicago can sponsor pension legislation to reduce our pensions immediately. If I am wrong or someone knows, please inform us...
The commander in Area Central just came out and confirmed the news. He told all the detectives assigned to homicide to disregard all "currently dead investigations" and be prepared to go back in uniform and patrol the streets!
If this is true their best bet is to try and get to 004, prince of a commander who treats people like adults and great bosses on 2nd and 3rd watches. Can't say the same for 1st watch.
See how Rahm appreciates the increase in the previous decreased increase. How will he spin the CeaseFire Million, Dolla Solution and having GMac dance around like a cockroach on a hot fry pan.
A crisis like 'being the worst city in America', just somehow has to go away, and CompStat isn't cooperating.

Not to mention the fact that police officers really cannot stop the killing -- the communities have to want to "police" the behavior of their own and stop the behavior that is considered, in other places, unacceptable. But we're about 50 years too late for that....

Not defending McCarty.... For has been a mush from the jump, but why would you ever want to take the helm of a sinking ship? Money / Greed can be the only answer. Shuffle the police manpower however you want, eventually all shell games end at some point. Until thousands of new police are hired, the downward spiral will continue. Hire a Qualified Supp (nation wide search) & one that will work for the Taxpayers of the city of Chicago and it's Police Officers and not for King Rahm. No Other Way to fix this MESS
8/20/2012 02:31:00 AM
Your so stupid its scary you carry a gun. What are you like 5 years old, this is Chicago fool, a majority of the citizens have and will continue to chose this government. There is no super top cop gonna be hired to save you.
019 has a shitload of Officers, about 400 total. An easy 50 - 100 can be moved without affecting operations. 30 from the tac teams alone and the remaining from the watches. More with less.
Chicago's murder rate is higher than Kabul's, São Paulo's and Mexico City's, yet no one is talking about it. How do we give a systemic problem a face?
Here's an idea: There are about 150 recently laid off POs in this area. How about contacting them and getting them on board with us? Give them a dipensation over residency, give them a few weeks in the academy to learn our way and get them out on the street
That makes sense, that's why it will probably not be even discussed.
Huff Post calls Chicago-Killing Fields
http://ipad.aol.com/video/chicagos-killing-fields/517444227/?ncid=webmail3
That bike sergeant was stuck on himself 12 years ago, thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. Scared of his own shadow. What comes around goes around, karma.
http://ipad.aol.com/video/police-brutality-is-to-blame/517445054/
The above video which is from the Huff Post suggests the violence in Chicago is because of police brutality.
We can still do more with less if somebody will just think of the children.
These pilgrims are out of control and we all need to get together to stop them. We should work one day a week for free so that those funds can be sent to CeaseFire and they can make a real difference. Then we should let the Nation of Islam preach and direct government funds toward them as well.
All hail Rahm!
Is it getting any better with the new 8th district commander?
Traffic enforcement is futile. The connected judges in traffic court throw everything out anyway.
Give me a judge that actually enforces the law and i'll write tickets.

This is fucking insane. Do they really think shuffling people do the shitty districts is going to solve anything? All it does is move shit around the entire city. I was in 024 by Devon and Damen. I grew up there and went to St. Henry. God I saw so many gang bangers and pieces of shit it left my jaw hanging. Plus right by the 7/11 you would think it's the west side with people hanging out, drinking, playing dice and talking real loud.
This scene is being slowly repeated through out the north and northwest and southwest sides of Chicago. All decent places to live but now they are all slowly changing.
The criminals are not stupid. They know where to go where there is less police heat on them so they can ply their trades.
8/20/2012 12:47:00 AM
This is so true. Look how Lincoln Park, Gold Coast, Michigan Avenue, Bucktown, Wicker Park, etc.... All those gentrified neighborhoods are slowly changing. The criminals come in when there is large foot traffic and rob people or steal their property. You would think the 16th district would be safe because so many police live there. Nope. Belmont to Irving Park and Cicero to Austin is shit. Plus there are small pockets of shit developing all over 016. Honestly, you can kiss this city good bye.
Hey McDufass, how does it feel to be betrayed by Rahm???
Were you that stupid to think that this was anything but a Failure Mission? Come in, play Hatchetman, cut the costs and if it works Rahm takes the credit. Since it didn't you get the blame.
Get on the bus back to Newark Garry-Boy!
Intelligence is not disbanding. Gorman in charge of Gang Investigations AND Intelligence.
Your a fool. Hire more P.O.'s don't dismantle what we have. Even Daley was smart enough not to hire this brain dead McCarthy. Rahm will be a one term mayor because of shit like this no doubt and good riddance to them both.
Seeing as the neighborhoods mind set is "Don't snitch". on the gangs.
Why not put these cameras up is some of the crappier shooting galleries / neighborhoods? Perhaps you can use the data to cull through the drive by shooters. If the cars aren't stolen already.
Rham loves his cameras, I'm sure he could figure out a way to cross reference the data with mobile units for traffic stops and revenue collection on delinquent traffic fines anyways.

We always post negative comments against each other; hairgel, 5 year wonder, 2 year wonder, dogass, etc. How about for one day(24hours) everyone unite. 2 year wonder with revolver police. For one day if everyone in patrol can absolutely do nothing. No activity what so ever. Show the mayor, alderman and supervisors that we are sacred cows. Everyone in patrol just answer your jobs and only arrests made would be on signed complaints only. No parkers, movers, anovs, contact cards. Nothing. I bet the the powers that be would start thinking twice about denying time. SCC should select the day and we should see how united we can be!
Cross train detectives to process crime scenes , most forensic investigators were selected to crime lab as ET's by seniority .
No test . Train recruits to process burglary , rec auto , robbery and rape crime scenes .
District officer should be assigned the case report and include results of processing the scene . Detectives make less money and well qualified to take over processing crime scene . Most times beat car has evidence marked off for crime lab technicians.
No need for a commander and office clerks at crime lab . Detective unit can handle it.
Here is the major problem with CPD right now, MOTIVATION. It has been brewing for a long time and this problem is finally coming to a head. We are very shorthanded right now, but every aspect of the department could do a MUCH better job than what they are currently doing. From the beat cop that takes an hour and a half for a 20 minute report, the tact teams that all go in on some bs arrest, the detectives that take forever to show up in the districts, the et that milks a crime scene, etc. The department has downsized through attrition to the point that the only thing waiting for the officer/et/det after they complete a job is 2 more waiting in the stack. Police work can take its toll on an officer, especially when you are spending your tour running from one call to another. Im not trying to bash any of the above (nor does it apply to everyone in those respective units/patrol), and what I pointed out is no shocker to anyone. It is merely to point out that in every aspect of cpd, there are problems. You cant just point a finger at one group and say they are the problem so I will disband them.. But you can say the one thing in common is that there is a lack of motivation. There are numerous reasons for the current lack of motivation, im sure anyone on the dept. could name at least 3 major reasons. How do you motivate a large workforce into doing their jobs efficiently? In the private sector, your very job is at risk if you don’t do your job. For cpd, that is a nonissue as it is near impossible to lose your job for doing the minimum (in fact you have more of a chance of losing your job if you do your job, and do it well). So without the threat of being fired, whats next???? Part of being a supervisor is to figure this out. Cpd has a shortage of qualified supervisors (we have an over abundance of supervisors, just barely any that even should be supervisors). I’ve worked for good bosses, and there was a sense of taking care of each other. The work done by the watch meant that the boss wouldn’t catch any grief from the higher ups, and we knew that he had our backs for anything and took care of the watch as best he could. Granted, a main contributing factor to the low moral (manpower) is out of their hands, but everything that they have done seems to have a negative effect on the morale. They tell everyone to do more with less, receive less, and even dare to threaten your future retirement. Ahhh, this is turning into a long rant.. Simple basic supervisory skills could improve the cpd, but than again, its been how long with the same old same old and they still have not learned...... When there is little to no recourse for just getting by with the minimum (or nothing), a loud mouthed, heavy handed, time due denying, unqualified supervisor does nothing but make the matter worse
I bike the path at night and am glad there are officers on it.
I use the lake and see so many boaters who shouldn't be out there.
I care about old people stuck in the ghetto being terrorized.
Stuff gets stolen from my car.
I am grateful for the CDP every day.
But the whole murder thing?
Humans can either plan birth and invest in their progeny to r-control the population or they can breed like crazy, not rear and let the carrying capacity of the environment (k) control population size. But there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Nothing can be done.Given the way social policies and the dominant attitudes have fucked with the ghetto environment, natural law make shitbirds killing shitbirds inevitable. Resources devoted to changing this inevitability will be wasted like so much water poured out on the groud.
I'm glad thugs are killing thugs. Not only do decent people not care about the current murder pattern, they are actually better off and safer because of it.
I can't believe this mayor is so stupid that he puts the wailing sideshow of the revruns over the interest and voice of people like me. The city runs on people like me. We are legion and we hold attitudes and beliefs that we don't express during campaigns, but we vote when the weather sucks and we move when we don't see the point in voting.

I remember when we would stick together and help each other out. It appears that those days are over and will never return. We will get the department that we deserve in the city that we deserve.
In case you haven't noticed the majority of retirements are occurring because officers want to get away from this job. Why would someone who has retired want to come back and work for this garbage department for less pay?
Why would disabled coppers want to come work for a department that threw them to the curb?
Get a clue minute-on-the-job and start thinking for yourself.

FOP - it's time to demand city of chicago hire civilians to replace all the sworn officers assigned to secretarial assignments . We were hired as Police Officers not secretaries . Also let's reform disability pension , many officers are able to provide some type of work as an office boy to our command staff . Most of the officers are able to drive , sit at home , work as lawyers , business men etc .
Our commander of crime lab is in a wheel chair and works everyday.

#2- Bring back Weis. He was the best in 30 years.
Putting the dicks back in uniform makes sense. Most of what they do can be done in uniform. The only thing that they can't do is play video poker and watch T.V. in the office. A little time back in patrol would do everybody some good. Some of the older guys think they are to good for a uniform. Really? If I recall, your title code is POLICE OFFICER assigned as a Detective.

Thats like being the police chief in Peoria Il. I dont blame him but its time to admit he can't do the job. Can u imagine if he was in the private sector what would have happened to him? He would have been fired. It's time for Rahm to admit he made a mistake with McCarthy and cut his losses. McCarthy and his ego wont admit he over estimated his abilities so somebody has to do it for him.

Mounted will be cut to minimal number needed to take care of horses. Commanders have already been asked what they need to maintain one watch/equipment. They did it to the pod unit, mailroom (got rid of 1st watches there)in the past and they are still operational. ERPS is also being looked at for cuts and to be run more efficient.
019 has a shitload of Officers, about 400 total. An easy 50 - 100 can be moved without affecting operations. 30 from the tac teams alone and the remaining from the watches. More with less.

019 is TWICE the size and density of most districts. While it should have twice as many police as other districts, it doesn't even come close. The citizens were PROMISED, by Rahm and by Garry, that their police coverage would not drop.

I just saw the McD-Bag interview on Chicago Tonight from 16 AUG. What a complete asshole. The interviewer however, used a poor example of how Constat fudges the numbers. He used sexual assaults as his example and McBlockhead jumped all over him. Maybe he should have used Agg Batt/Batt, Burglary/CTTP, Robbery/Theft, Murder/Death Investigation. I did notice McCarthy gettiing hot under the collar during this questioning. Then, when asked, he says he has no knowledge of the book "The Numbers Game", and tried to debase the authors by saying they were not with NYPD when Constat was being used.
8/20/2012 07:06:00 AM
Both McI'mSoSpecial and the reporter seemed very agitated that night.
I agree the rape example was a poor one, and he would have made a better point if he'd referred to Zekman's 'killing crime' investigation back in the day. Garry nearly snorted at him, the question was so easy to refute.
But McIwhisperSoYou'llLeanTowardMe was a little defensive and a lot evasive in that interview. All he did was keep repeating and deflecting.
Don't you think, if you're a big-city superintendent, you'd be VERY up to date on all things CompStat? Wouldn't you, at the very least, have someone updating you on all things CompStat? When he said he knew nothing about that book, it was so blatantly ridiculous, I could barely force myself to watch the rest of it.
As for those stripped PO's sitting in Limbo (CallBack):
I have no idea what it is you did or are thought to have done. At this point in time, it does not matter.
If IPRA can not come to a "Thumbs Up/Down" decision in 4 FN years, it is obvious that there is no case, there never was a case and there never will be a case against the accused.
Witnesses, both those against and for the accused can no longer be considered reliable. Some may incarcerated or dead.
Recent arbitrator's decision focused on the delay issue.
The cases should be closed and shredded. The IPRA staff should be called on the carpet to explain why they have not resolved a case in 4 years. Poop or get off the pot.

This has been tried. They hired civilians to work the desk and lockup and as district administrative manager. All except detention aid have been eliminated to "save money." With all the hiring to save money and then firing those same people to again save money an administration or two later I doubt we have ever saved any money.
Now the crossing guard supervisor position (civilian) has been shitcanned to "save money." Replaced by a police officer who makes double. How does this save money? Same with desk aids. Same with district managers. There was supposed to be only one PO in a front office. Then it went to two per contract. 019 has four.
Any time there is a new improved idea to save money you can bet the rent that it will be reversed a few years later under the guise of saving money.
Face it, the City never actually saves money. They just shuffle salaries around and all it ever does is give some exempt something to proudly point to as a reason to keep that person exempt and maybe they get a colorful ribbon or two.
As I was told so long ago, "It's all bullshit."

Demand a head count? Are you soft? Who is going to count heads? And who would believe such a count? If the city puts out the numbers you can bet your lunch that the numbers will be bullshit. Never ever trust any numbers from this city.
Demand a headcount, that's a good one. Keep on demanding. Maybe Richy Daley will be hired to count heads. He will form the Mumbling Fool Head Counting Corporation. Then you can go jerk yourself off with the headcount.

The video commenter is a compete idiot. Complains how every 38 hours a black male is MURDERED by a police officer, security guard, neighborhood watcher, or vigilante.
Does not distinguish between murder and self-defense.
Nor realize that a black male kills a black male (probably) every 38 minutes!
Blacks steadfastly refuse to acknowledge their own misdeeds and face the consequences for their actions.
F*ck Cease Fire ! Rahman should have given us a million bucks. We coulda thrown a big "back to the ghetto party" and had us cranked up like a pep rally.
No narcotics, no gang intell, no mounted unit, no marine unit, no traffic enforcement, no unnecessary admin spots. EVERYONE is going to a south or west side district. ET's are also going back to the district with the mandate to process crime scenes as fast as possible. McCarthy thinks it's a waste to keep cars down for crime scene protection.
hahhahah, yeah right. Narcotics brings the city in nearly 20 million plus in cash to the city per year. Thats not including siezed items and cars which add another 2 million or so. SCC, you should know better, if you look at the word usage and writing style the author of this story is the same guy who wrote the bike unit rumor... McCarthy is a HUGE fan of the bike units after he saw how they worked their ass off at NATO. SCC, you get fooled way too easy by these trolls feeding you fake rumors. Either way, Its not going to happen and will never happen. Thats not rumor, thats fact.
On the November election Ballot there will be a proposal to allow the state to change pension legislation by a 3/5 majority rather than holding a constitutional convention. My understanding is that if passed the State and city of chicago can sponsor pension legislation to reduce our pensions immediately. If I am wrong or someone knows, please inform us...

It will still be challenged as to the constitutionality of it.
They are trying to end around the state constitution and the only way to do that is to change the constitution itself.
The state constitution can only be opened for change once every 20years. It must be put to a vote of the populous.
Quinn tried to do this several years back while he was Lt. Govenor. The people of the state of Illinois voted it down because once they open the state constituion - ANYTHING in it can be changed to include legislative perks. The voters did not want them to have reign supreme.
So, bottom line is No Matter what the legislature does IT WILL BE CHALLENGED as to its constitutionality. This could take years and even decades in the courts.

All the E.T's are getting sent down to Homan Sq. Besides there are only 3or4 working per tour everyday north and south.

In regards to E.T.s and Burglaries:
The Supreme McRomanager has decreed:
Evidence Techs are to be called to ALL Burglaries.
(Never Scene contaminated, No E.T. Needed)
So to avoid the wrath of 35th Street, there will be NO BURGLARIES, just thefts freom buildings.
It's the cover story on the National Rifle Association's "First Freedom" magazine, too.
