Hello? Chicago Media?
The practice of manufacturing artificially low crime rates increased substantially after 2002 under Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his police commissioner Raymond Kelly. New research based on interviews with 2,000 retired police officers from the NYPD reveals pervasive, system-wide corruption of criminal records and police practices. This research suggests that concern with the department's reputation for reducing crime, much more than with public safety, drives police policy.
Mountains of scientific evidence supporting this are explored in The Crime Numbers Game. The bulk of the book's evidence came from a survey of 500 retired police officers ranked captain and above, as well as from in depth interviews with over 40 retired and active officers.
A new survey of former NYPD officers includes 10 police chiefs, 36 inspectors, 63 captains, 262 lieutenants, 382 sergeants, and 1,154 patrol officers and detectives. The survey asked officers if they had witnessed words being changed in crime reports or observed other unethical efforts to downgrade serious crimes to lesser offenses. Using the officers who retired before 1995 as a baseline, the survey found that 25 percent of those officers had personally observed unethical crime reporting. Only 28 percent of those who retired between 1995 and 2001 had observed these activities.
However, in the Kelly/Bloomberg era (2002 and after) over half the officers -- 51 percent -- had observed the intentional misclassification of serious crimes as petty offenses and other unethical practices, typically multiple times. Officers also reported that since 2002 they had experienced unusually strong pressures from supervisors to downgrade crimes and keep crime numbers low.

When it becomes a topic in Chicago they will just find a way to blame the blue shirts!
Look up Ron Huberman's wiki page and other google related searches... they give Ronnie boy(toy) credit for practically inventing CompStat and implementing it here... He'll be back, they were just waiting for the scratches to heal.
Oh, and Larry Sinclair told the truth.
Like changing a home invasion (with shots fired) to criminal damage to property!!!!
Wait till they announce how shooting are gonna magically be way down, since det's are gonna start reclassifying them if the victims aren't seriously hurt.
Carol Marin, are you reading this?
Speaking of NYPD, bring the Stakeout Squad to Chicago. Could you imagine the (last) look on their face as they get lit up!

Just read the Jim Cirillo book about the SOU in New York, this would truly be a blast. Too bad the bosses / mayor / doj would never run with it or allow it to happen.
Stick a chip in their ass and be done with the bullshit!
Sorry for the off topic post, but I'm looking for a new vest. My body armor expired, and I need a new one, but I don't know where to go.
I'm hoping either an active or retired CPD may sell vests, but any info would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Why would Chicago need to look to New York to learn how to lie and cover shit up? We do it great here all on our own.

Did you know that a moderately powerful laser can damage a video camera? Unlike a firearm, a laser is quiet and lacks a projectile, which could potentially injure or kill someone if one were to miss. Personal eye protection is a must, as well as exercising caution with regards to the location of other people; lasers may damage eye sight, as well as cameras.

How long do you think those 2000 jobs Rahm stole from Libertyville, not created, will last?
"Google will also shut down one-third of Motorola Mobility’s 90 facilities and will incur
severance-related costs of $275 million."
For the reader who is looking for a new vest... Google Diamond Back Tactical. Find out there local field rep. They only sell Level IIIA and Level IV vest. They exceed the federal standards as well. Met them at FOP vest day 2 years ago and I love my vest. It is the best vest that i have ever had (4th). hope this helps!

Yo! We've got bragging rights but no local media coverage. After all, it's "THE CHICAGO WAY".
Ubi Est Mea?
Yea, I remember a homocide on my beat. Three guys in a vehicle. Two front and one in the back. Passenger in front is depressed and makes a statement that he wished he was dead. The passenger in the rear pulled out a gun and shot the passenger in the front in the head. Instant death. The department classified it as a (hospitalization report) "Death Investigation." What the hell, the shooter in custody and tells the story and is backed up by the driver of the vehicle. This crap has been happening since the early 2000's.
The city is lieing and have been lieing to the citizens of Chicago for years. I saw the hand writing on the wall. Crime was and will continue to increase in Chicago, and I guarantee this is the just the beginning. I retired and got out of Dodge (Chgo) because I saw no future as a retiree in Chicago. Your Mayor will bleed everyone dry. I feel Chicago should be a city where all the countries gang bangers, crack users, dealers, baby mama drama, welfare recipients who feel this is their right to receive money, and any one who feels stongly against decency. Yea, lump them all together and have the National Guard police them. Case closed.
RELAX FRANSIS..... Personally, I could give a flying fuck if they want to downgrade all my jobs. Life is too short to worry about it. 19p w/90 days to go.
Carol Marin likes to denigrate individual policemen. She would never go after the Democommie regime.
Speaking of "morale death spiral"...McCarthy is now hand picking who makes it into the Bike Unit based on his clouted drinking buddies. After all the hard work those guys did during NATO, nice way to kick them in the teeth. All those officers are going through a legitmate interviewing process to get to be detailed there as part of the unit, and instead of letting the process happen you hand pick a clouted drinking buddy's daughter. What a dickhead move. You sir, are an ass. To all the officers that have recently been interviewed, send your applications to the SUPT. it appears he's making the decisions these days. Better yet, drop a case of beer off to his office and you to may magically appear on an order to transfer to the bike unit. No one else... just you.
Relax! Every one of the officers in the Bike Unit used a phone call to get there. Some of the officers there are as lazy as it gets and spend more time in Starbucks than riding their bicycles.
The funniest thing about the original post is the fact it probably came from someone on the team who used their clout to get there.
As someone who was trained for the NATO event by their "best", I was not impressed! Eight instructors and only three of them were skillful on their bikes. Two of them were riding electric assisted bikes (how lazy can you get!), a few of them seemed to have difficulty keeping up with the group on our long rides and some of them would complain when one of the good riders took us out for a long ride. The female (why was there only one?), the guy with grey hair and the heavier guy who plays hockey were good but the rest of them were bad examples.
A special shout out goes to the instructor that the Tribune photoed. Can you do anything without a cup of coffee in your hands? Fitting they got a picture of you holding one while instructing! Would it have been too difficult to put the cup down and help keep officers from falling during the "box drill"? Other instructors did. I actually believe you enjoyed watching some of us get hurt falling... It was especially sad when you stopped our group in the middle of Randolph during a ride so you could run in to Starbucks for coffee without anyone knowing what was going on, including the other instructors and sergeant. You sir need to get over yourself!
Back to the point. The unit has several "special" people already and I am sure whoever the "clouted one" is they will fit right in
As someone else who was "trained" for NATO I can't agree more with your feelings for the trainers.

Does the hood go up if Obama loses? Should I be concerned? Or, is there already more than enough reason to be "concerned"?
Comstat itself is not fiction. It is how the crimes are classified at the district ( NY Precint) level. This has been going on for many years, far more then anyone on the department now can speak for. When i came on the job in '68 you could not come clear from a felony report without calling for a meet with your sergeant. Guess what happened ? Comstat itself is a good tool as it makes the commanders accountable, something that they never had to worry about under previous superintendents. If police officers are being forced to misclassifiy crimes or the paperwork is being changed in the station ( this used to happen regularly with the review officers), then that is wrong. What do you think those review officers were doing all of those years just filing paperwork? LOL.

"CHICAGO, July 28, 2012 — Mayor Rahm Emanuel has proclaimed that Project Ceasefire is getting $1.5 million dollars to help reduce mounting violence on Chicago’s streets.
"Mayor Rahm Emanuel proclaimed it. It shall be. It is pure boodle, graft, and boondoggle. It is a total waste of taxpayer money.
"Ceasefire Director Tio Hardiman and creator Gary Slutkin, M.D. are laughing all the way to the bank. Slutkin gets to donate more money to the politicians that matter to keep the scam going. Hardiman keeps getting a welfare check. Grant money is just welfare by another name..."

Slightly off topic but does anyone know the history behind the wooden blue police barricades? The only other place those seem to exist (and they are identical) is in new york city.
Every other city I've ever been to has used the more modern construction style barricades in orange and white, which are more visible at night and less heavy to move around.
The blue ones are also not very visible at night.
Why still use the blue wood ones? How did Chicago end up with the same ones as New York?
How long have these things been around? The design looks like something that would have been manufactured in 1929.

I don't mean to bust your balls but really?
You and look up anything online nowadays.
One of my favorites is when a Sgt. kicks back a report where a person's front door was kicked in or pry marks are on the door jam and tells you to make it a criminal damage to property if nothing was taken. Tried many times making it an attempted burglary (probably got scared off and wasn't able to take anything)but was told you don't know the person's intent. Hahaha! I thought case reporting was different than charging? But I bet if it was their home they would want the crime lab out there dusting every nook and cranny and make it an attempted burglary
Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder could see that compstat is somewhere between a joke and a fraud.....so, now what?

Chicago College Student Leads Small Anti-Violence Protest At City Hall
August 13, 2012 12:02 PM
"CHICAGO (CBS) – The sound level was high, but the impact yet to be determined, as a college junior collected about 15 supporters outside City Hall, leading a rally against the city’s violence problems, as activists donned T-shirts reading “Enough, Chicago.”
"Morehouse College junior Corey Hardiman said this is just the beginning, as he wielded a megaphone outside City Hall, demanding the city do more to curb violence on the streets.
“We’re ready for change. We’re tired. Young people can’t even get up and walk to the bus without thinking about ‘Will I make it back home, or will my momma bury me?’ We have had enough, Chicago,” he said.
"Hardiman and his supporters were rebuffed in efforts to meet the mayor to discuss Chicago’s violence and high rate of unemployment among African-American teens.
"The group still had their say about the city’s rising murder rate this year, as well as stagnant unemployment rates, especially among young black men..."
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/08/13/chicago-college-student-leads-small-anti-violence-protest-at-city-hall/
"There’s so many people sitting in this building behind us [City Hall], that [sic] is not making a difference, but they all are collecting their $100,000 salaries," Hardiman said."

The last line in your narrative should read: "Per Sgt. Koolaid #1234, R/O was ordered to reclassify this report from Attempted Burglary to Criminal Damage to Property."
In 20 we have a commanders boy who when we made a burg report he would look for ways to change them to thefts.now on aira, too bad once approve by the sgt it cant be changed.
OT but very important. We all need to band together regarding this time due order that came out that only pertains to patrol division. They are taking our contractual rights away from us in a round about fashion. It side steps the contract by allowing a very small amount of workers to take off. It will eliminate p days quickly and u will be unable to take off when u need it. Most of us are not proactive any longer, but we need more of something.
Yeah, OK.
But having lived in NYC and Chicago, I can say that the NYPD does many things much better than CPD.
NYPD since the Dinkins admin doesn't take crap from thugs, punks, gang bangers or from Leftists, Black demagogues like Sharpton.
When the NYPD boards a subway, they are ready willing and able to take down and out any punks.

To 3:06:00pm,
she will be allowed to take as much time as she needs, remember she cried when she testified back when she was the head of the "commander's club". But she did no wrong and was allowed to live out of the city, then her husband a sgt with the cpd stated that he was afraid and that she couldn't work outside on the street because no one will back here up. If back then she was already a secretary to the commander why would she be out in the street. So the bottom line she as dirty as they come. She will be allowed to do what ever she wants. She is able to change her starting times from afternoons to midnites to days without anybody questioning it. Now imagine how her overtime looks, she's got to be filling her pockets and her buddy the commander pena is allowing it.

Funny you should ask.... in 1929, n 18 year old carpenter from Bridgeport by the name of Richard Daley couldn't get a job building anything because he was all thumbs! So............
To the moron who is just impressed with himself (so it seems). There are only three clouted people in the bike unit. They've been pushed in within the past three years, just a little information I'm sure you'll reject. It appears as if you think you know everything...good luck with that.
OT- Review Officers beware! At the last Compstat meeting, McCompstat went after the review officer. After the compstat chief was not happy that the numbers were not getting turned in to them in a timely manner, McJersey interrupted and asked what the problem was. Review was then blamed for the problem. At that point, he said that just because the spot is a bid spot, was no reason that could not be worked around. He then said "OK, you have your bid spot, now put them in a closet and just sit there. You can keep your bid spot, just stay in there and let someone else who wants to do the job handle it." Near the end, the new Chief of Patrol Patterson added that just because the person has a bid spot, that does not mean they are stuck with the person. To get rid of that officer, you just need to document when that person is not doing the job and then that bid spot can be taken away from that officer. So watch out Review, the Supe is hunting for your job.
My company has been using Compstat this entire year. They couldn't afford to hire the required amount of people necessary to produce certain results. A huge factor in implementing Compstat were some of our key clients asking why we weren't producing certain results.
Compstat is a metric(s) from hell designed a) for organizations refusing to hire the necessary people to produce needed results b) an excuse, so they can flip out these compstat metrics and say we;; our people are doing this, this and this. I don't understand why crime is so high
Compstat burns out your people in a really huge way as you're forcing them to essentially do the job of 2+ people let alone i can imagine the major increase in risk for injuries to chicago police officers.
If the CPD is suing compstat it's because we don't have enough police officers and lack of strong leadership from the top....

BUGS FINALLY FORCED OUT INTO DAYLIGHT
After delay, CeaseFire begins partnership with city -- Group says its workers won't be required to act as police informants
By Jeremy Gorner, Chicago Tribune reporter
9:49 p.m. CDT, August 13, 2012
"A new pilot program that calls for the anti-violence group CeaseFire to partner with the Chicago Police Department in curbing violent crime has struggled to take shape this summer, the group said Monday, because the organization didn't have assurances that its workers would not act as informants for criminal investigations.
"It wasn't until Aug. 7, about a month after the pilot program was to have started, that both sides officially agreed in a memorandum of understanding that CeaseFire's "violence interrupters" and other workers would not be required to serve as police informants, according to the group executive director, Tio Hardiman.
"You have enough confidential informants. You don't need CeaseFire in that role," Hardiman said of the police. "The police are doing the lion's share of the work, but at the end of the day we're playing a valuable role."
"CeaseFire has secured its funding in the past from the state and county and through federal grants. But its partnership with the Police Department is being funded by a $1 million grant from the city, an unprecedented step in Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police Superintendent Garry McCarthy's efforts to reduce Chicago's homicide rate.
"Asked about the delays, a Chicago police spokeswoman referred all inquiries to the city's Public Health Department, which is administering the program."

Good. That's official. I guess that means these f__ers hang with the Health Department, go to Health Department roll calls, get info from the Health Department.
Oh -- approx 25 people shot and wounded in Chicago this weekend, about 4 dead in the nearby suburbs.
The New Normal.

I hope you aren't really a copper. If you can't figure out what a single 23 year old from Texas was doing in town for the weekend you are very very sheltered.
Family values had nothing to do with it.

Stealing shit from NewYork for decades? Really? I dislike this new jagoff as much as anyone, but c'mon, don't start making shit up or you're no better than him.

Allow me to enlighten you. One of the first things Fat Phil did as Supe was to send IAD brass to both New York and LA to see how their versions of IAD work. Both were autonomous from the department and had huge budgets. He stole what he could and ordered everything but the price tag to be implemented.
Also, where do you think CAPS originated?
To mr song remains the same.
If you do some research you will also find out kevlar does not expire. It never expires if you hang it right and let it breath. The number one source of kevlar going bad is mold. If you sweet on it and throw it in you locker on the floor it will mold up fast and the kevlar will go bad. If you hang it up and let it breath kevlar does not go bad. Only reason they say it expires after five years is so you can go out and spend tons of cash.
Look it up or are you too busy sitting behind your desk doing nothing all day.
Hillard was supt and brought compstat here. He also brought Huberman here. He started accountability meetings with Tony Chiesa screaming profanities on the microphone at everyone in the room. It was a huge joke then, its a huge joke now, and no exempt is held accountable.
"OT but very important. We all need to band together regarding this time due order that came out that only pertains to patrol division. They are taking our contractual rights away from us in a round about fashion. It side steps the contract by allowing a very small amount of workers to take off. It will eliminate p days quickly and u will be unable to take off when u need it. Most of us are not proactive any longer, but we need more of something."
Nobody cares about patrol. Nobody.

How did someone who looks like her ever get a job ON TV, rather than beneath one?
Does anyone agree that if the pea brain brass would actually report the stats correctly, instead of covering up shit the feds would give the department more money to hire more police officers? Oh wait it's like the military the guys who throw a little logic in the equation go to the back of the line. And then a week later the boss just came up with a great idea.
Rahm doesn't want this truth coming out about Compstat so he muzzles the mainstream media on this subject.
Too bad Kass or Mark Brown can't just throw caution to the wind and tell it like it is about Compstat. The truth is it's all a house of cards!
The last line in your narrative should read: "Per Sgt. Koolaid #1234, R/O was ordered to reclassify this report from Attempted Burglary to Criminal Damage to Property."
That's usually in my first line. I really love it when some of them throw a fit about it and tell me to take the line out.

Pam Zekman has a face for... Radio!
She's got more chins than a Chinese phone book!
(Hit it sweetheart... BahRumpBump!)
Here is a section from the FBI UCR handbook regarding report of Criminal Trespass versus Attempt Burglary:
Burglary—Attempted Forcible Entry (5c)
This category includes those situations where a forcible entry burglary is attempted but not completed. Once the thief is inside a locked structure, the offense becomes a Burglary—Forcible Entry (5a).
Agencies must classify attempts to enter an unlocked structure as well as actual trespass to an unlocked structure as Burglary—Unlawful Entry—No Force (5b).
Only situations in which a thief has attempted to break into a locked structure are classified as Burglary—Attempted Forcible Entry (5c).
The last line in your narrative should read: "Per Sgt. Koolaid #1234, R/O was ordered to reclassify this report from Attempted Burglary to Criminal Damage to Property."
That's usually in my first line. I really love it when some of them throw a fit about it and tell me to take the line out.

When I directed my crew to change something, or add something, or do something additional on a case, I always told them to put that in the first line - "At the direction of Sgt. --- ....".
My view was, if I gave the order, or the direction, it was my responsibility, anyway. No big deal.
Used to get a laugh out of the ones who threatened me with putting my name in their narrative, though. I never had a problem living with the decisions I made and the directions I gave.
McJersey interrupted and asked what the problem was. Review was then blamed for the problem. At that point, he said that just because the spot is a bid spot, was no reason that could not be worked around. He then said "OK, you have your bid spot, now put them in a closet and just sit there. You can keep your bid spot, just stay in there and let someone else who wants to do the job handle it." ...

Wow, we must have so much manpower, we just don't know what to do with it, if we can afford to be so cavalier about planting people in 'closets'.
Isn't this the same McStuporintendent who claimed he didn't CARE if administrative work ground to a halt, but he wanted bodies on the STREET?
Now he's barking because administrative work has ground to a halt? McLunatic.
