Rumor Central
- Panic at Headquarters
McCarthy now has us looking up Monthly arrest stats for all police officers from 2010 and 2011 and comparing those stats with 2012.
Commanders will be given the names of all officers with lower arrests. Commanders will put ALL officers with significantly lower stats into the Personal Concern program. Then they will counsel all officers who HAVE NOT INCREASED their arrests.
It looks like if you were always a dog, you're in the clear, but those who've dropped down their arrests will be punished.
The real reason is that 2012 arrests are the lowest in the past 15 years and that's only because the records are poor going back further. It is completely possible that 2012 will have the lowest arrest totals in the last 30 years.
If we're going to start with arrest statistics, we should probably start at the top ranks and work our way down, just to set an example. We're going to insist on arrests in which only the officers in Box #1 or Box #2 are counted, and the arrest cannot be "holding the offender." Anything else goes in this instance of counting.
Anyone want to speculate on the totals for any one of our exempt members? How about Captains/XO's? Remember, these are our leaders, the ones we should be emulating and aspiring to be. Low arrest totals would seem to be the norm for these ranks, so anyone without decent numbers can just point to them as inspiration.
If McDumbDumb is endorsing an arrest quota, let's see it on paper. Now please. And a General Order that we can point to when the inevitable federal lawsuit results.
And another point of order - McMoron has been saying for a year now that crime is down across the board with the notable exception of homicides (and shootings he is finally admitting). Here's a quick mathematical equation for McNumberChallenged:
- Less crime = Less arrests
Right? How can we have more arrests for non-existent crime? Or is McCivilRightsChampion advocating a wholesale violation of local, county, state and federal law? Because we're definitely going to have to see paper on that one before we even start the car tonight.
UPDATE: Oh yeah, we missed this obvious one:
- Less police = Less arrests

Come to think of it, I cant remember the last time i put a skel in the back of my cruiser and went into the precinct with a collar
Does this mean I'll have to put my shoes on while on patrol?
Answer the radio for stacked jobs and you make less arrests. Or doesn't the brain trust in charge get that? We are led by morons.
"Someone downtown better think this one through again."
that's going to be kinda tough, since the ratio of IQ to A stats doesn't bode well on the IQ side of the equation.
Less Police = less arrests
F--- The Mission and Hold The Position!
We are only following our orders.
If this rumor is even half true the boss should be calling in Rivera from Iad. Look how they have railroaded some really good producing guys in the past couple of years. People are just plain scared to go that extra mile in fear of a trip to the police board fighting for their existence. Ask the entire team and a Sgt from 002 about working just like the same bosses who are judging did in their time.
haha..
Motivational Fear Program.
The problem with using fear as a motivator is that it also acts as a great distraction from ones core responsibilities. People begin concentrating on the fear instead of the job at hand and that's when people get hurt or fail.
Yeah sure I will go out and work so guys like Sgt mb from iad can put a case on me
I think not....
Hey there SCC, looks like the city might actually be hiring some people. Several relatives and friends were just given notification to show up for the power test on the 7th of Sept.
My guess is they'll probably hire another 50-100 and then have them hitting the academy by the end of the year so that they'll be out in time for next Summer.
So, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I worked south for years, and transfered north. Now what? Personal concerns? I need the money, I will sue, so please put me in it.
I don't always do a flip flop on my managerial ideas, but when I do I deny the original idea as being mine.
Mcwantsitbothways can kiss his ill gotten booty and ass(ets) he's stolen and give it over to coppers once the law suits are settled...
Seriously?
We mean SERIOUSLY?
The Blue Shirts are in deep survival mode and it's bugging the shit out of all the right people...
"I ain't going to prison for the pleasure of none of these assholes in charge."
You fuckheads can run stats and make them dance & gyrate for as long as there will be a pile of shit happening between two shoes somewhere on this planet...
Bosses can talk all the shit they want about "getting in people's waistbands" and other stupid shit.
Hey McGimmeyourhouse!
Aren't you fucking tired of running from city to city trying to stay ahead of the FEDS?
Your former compadres in New Yuck and Newark ARE NOT HAPPY with being on the hook with the FEDS and having to answer for YOUR FUCKED UP Gump-Stat driven stop & frisk/"get in their waistband" policies you implemented...
Typical drunken shit-shack loudmouthed lout of a so called Police boss... Throw a rock and hide your hands.
We're frankly baffled as to how you do the shit you do and claim to be not just the son of a Marine but also the son of a cop...
We know plenty of both and all wonder what the fuck is causing your catastrophic failure to function.
You don't even have the decency to K/B and render yourself useless... Some politician always manages to pick you and your New Yuck buddies up and aim you dangerous goofs directly at their P.D. just to see who is smart enough to duck just in case the stupid shit in the chamber decides to detonate...
Or stupid enough to stand there and embrace the bullet because the boss says bullets need embracing...
Yes... some sad and sorry asses think like that. They ARE the present and future of this job.
Any Policeman co-signing this bullshit and playing along will get hurt financially, job-wise and pay the price in multiple years of federal imprisonment for a 1983 violation while McIdunnoyou turns his back and snickers as the Marshalls drag your ass off to general population...
My arrest numbers are way down. But my aim at street lights has much improved since 2010 and 2011. The should make McStreetshooter very happy.
Sure, the dogg asses never get in trouble and the trend continues.
Not to mention less officers = less arrests...
Said captain obvious :-)
A lot of citizens and journalists visit this site. I want to explain to them why arrests and activity (contact cards, moving tickets, parking tickets, etc...) are down across the board.
The reason is simple- this department and city won't back up their police officers if a criminal or an offender hoots, hollers, screams and protests. Once they do that, then all bets are off and the city and this department will sell you down the river.
If a police officer is clearly wrong then he should suffer the consequences including termination or criminal charges. But I have seen how officers were right and they were still screwed by the city and the department.
Because of that, many police officers are just riding around with blinders on and they are just answering their jobs. That is based on my observation.
Citizens in Chicago have to ask themselves what the consequences will be. In no way I am advocating that officers should be backed 100%. If they are right, then they deserve 110% support of the city and the department. If they are wrong then they must suffer the consequences.
I can think of one Officer and several of his co-workers who probably have.low arrest rates
They spend a lot of time sitting in his wifes office at her job trying to intimidate a bunch of females into letting his stupid wife be the boss of them and steal their money. I hope they get caught soon
Look at the order. It says nothing about arrests stats. Good luck wiff that.
They just don't get it. Thank god were not following these leaders into war........we would all be DEAD!!!!
How were things in Chicago gentlemen, we here at Northern Illinois Unoversity got our assess kicked by a gathering of about 500-600 students in the street who wanted nothing more than to drink and fight to celebrate the start of the school year.
Chicago is on pace for 528 homicides in 2012.
I always wondered how an inside person will have any stats compared to someone working the street. Seems a bit of a double standard that will never be changed. The bottom line is this new rule, will only be used as a tool against some and not all. As with most general orders.
its time to put on our long sleeve shirt and tie, 80/20 pants and shinny shoes and crown cap in protest against this year 2012 arrest activity and micro management activity! Lets end the year wearing our true uniform attire and not get any of it torn or dirty just like the white shirts!
Not to mention that most people have met or exceeded department expectations on their last evaluations. The dogs have met the expectations with lower numbers. How do you suddenly put someone in a personal concern due to arrest #'s when they probably have close to the same numbers from last year, and still have higher numbers than the dogs who are not put in the program??? Yup, loudmouthed, pushy, dictatoresque, unqualified, and ignorant bossess leading this department is one of the very reasons that the activity is low. Well done mcstupid, another giant step backwards.....
Was out east recently and picked up a NY paper at the airport on Aug. 5. Think this was on page 3. Have been meaning to send it to SCC. Sorry if there are typos--I cut it out and am now retyping it for your benefit:
HEADLINE:
"STOP & FRISKS SEE 34% DROP"
BYLINE: Joe Kemp
The number of stop and frisks has declined a whopping 34% between the first and second quarters of 2012, police officials said Friday.
NYPD statistics show that 133,934 people were stopped by police between April 1 and June 30 - 34% fewer than the 203,500 people stopped from Jan. 1 to March 31.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the drop was due to additional training and fewer rookie cops patrolling impact zones, crime-prone areas where NYPD deploys more officers on the ground.
Cops said 1,769 weapons, including 194 firearms, were recovered during the stops in the second quarter.
About 54% of the people stopped were black, 32% Hispanic, 10% were white, and 3% were Asian.
Donna Lieberman, executive director of the NY Civil Liberties Union, said the numbers were "encouraging," but they fail to show how many innocent people were stopped."
---I'm not going to analyze and comment on this. I'm sure SCC could do a much better job. And every PO out there should be able to draw some pretty important conclusions after reading. I'm just the messenger on this one.
Someone should run all of those bosses names and get their arrest histories before they disappear due to a computer 'glitch.'

Most of them probably 'scholarship' students from Chicago. Good luck with them.
Anyone else hear about McCarthy losing it after being cornered by a Channel 2 reporter? The reporter showed him footage of officers playing sports, etc while on the medical and wanted his comment. From what i hear its priceless.
Hey Newsmedias, You taking notes on violation of the Citizens Constitutional Rights being violated in Chicago for the sole purpose of generating numbers and sandbagging people with bogus charges?
How far is the police and City going to protect the Officers, from the lawsuits, two and three years after this idiot Supt. is gone?
Any legal experts want to way in?
ACLU?
Supreme Court? [Courts in Crook County Don't Count!]
Buehler?
The final nail in the coffin of morale and the Department as a whole.
By the way, I ain't signing shit, what ya gonna do?
Fire me for not adhering to a illegal quota, good, then I'll see you in court sitting in the defendants chair.
Channel 2 along with some City Inspector unit did a undercover investigation of medical abusers. I guess McCarthy lost his mind when the reporter showed him video footage.
Also... we're hearing that in order to keep more officers on the streets and to improve efficiency the department will soon issue adult diapers.
man-oh-man...
Ofc: squad can i get a quick personal ?
squad: NO !!!
Ofc: but squad I really have to go.
squad: you'll just have to hold it!
Ofc: but squad I CAN'T 0_o
squad: we have no cars.....
ring-ring.. yeah nine-one-one listen I called you about three hours ago and no one showed whats up wit dat?....
6 cars in the district, 1 down on an arrest, 1 down watching a crime scene, 1 handling the paper of the crime scene, 1 down on a domestic that might turn into an arrest. That leaves 2 cars for the district. You better not get an arrest or a TVB or even a mover because that will leave 1 car to handle the district. Sgts are normally useless as tits on a chicken for handling jobs. I wonder why arrests and activity is down? Because we're short handed you blithering idiot!
I'll tell you what, ALL CRIMES except homicide are down .... how that happens I don't know
but unless you are making homicide arrests ... they should be down
but back to why all other crimes are down ... why exactly? cheating on the stats?
Bwaaahahahahahahahahaha!!
When do you have time to make arrests if your a beat car doing one and two hour old paper jobs all day Mc Dumbass!
Why don't we go back and get the manifest from the Mayflower for fuzzy math.He really hates the pilgrims.
So what happens if McStupid gets his wish? If this happens in a busy district and coppers start locking more people up who will answer the 4-5 stacked calls for service?
And what happens when AIRA and IDENT go down like it did this past week? No arrest could be done on paper because no boss from the ivory tower would dare risk their cushy spot to make that decision. We had 2 officers from 3rd watch spend the entire 1 st watch babysitting their prisoner until 6 a.m. the next morning when the system finally came back up.
Great use of resources McStupid.
Per our C.O. this is how it will work.
1. Each watch will identify their
bottom three producers.
2. Then they will Council these
Officers on paper.
3. Give these Officers a set time
to bring their performance up.
4. If they still under perform then
Personel Concern initiated.

The assessment consists of 60 questions "to get a better sense of factors that can't be tested." Those factors include one’s health history, mental health, stress, and "BARRIERS TO CHANGE (emphasis added)."

Arrests are down due to the effective and positive impact CeaseFire is having in the neighborhoods. CeaseFire just doesn't stop shootings; they stop all crime.
Rahm please send CeaseFire that extra $15million to us and you will be amazed at what else we can't accomplish.

How many arrests have the commanders of 20,14,Human Resources,and special events made in the past. Very few I will wager, but they were born to lead who needs arrest. That's why we have a morale problem on this department and fewer arrests. It is evident that arrests do not contribute to advancement on this job, so why make arrests and risk injury or death and the all time favorite law suits when the annointed ones never made any. Wake up lost sheep! I think many of your brothers have already. Go make your own arrests Boss. Do you want me to show you how?
I call BS on this.
There are just too many reasons for low arrest activity, starting with, "I did not see anyone committing a crime to arrest."

I'm sorry, I know there is nothing you could do. Our hands are tied the same way.

Alert! A new secret City unit was created to catch misuse of medical policies. CPD is their first target.
ON OUR WAY TO A TRIPLE DOUBLE!
Another 19 people shot overnight. 38 in two days.
So what make me a personal concern! I'm still not doing anything .when they try to fire me over it ill get a out of court settlement and ill go to Texas and they can all go straight to hell
less specialized units = less specialized arrests
more anov = less arrest
more foot patrol = less arrest
more 1 sq. block beats = less arrest
more "pol" protection = less arrest
and on and on
NO LEADERSHIP , NO MORALE
NO RESPECT for rank and file, THREATS, = less arrests
E-T Call Home?
Sorry we have no more ET's until next shift.
OT Look at FOP – Current Death Notices site.
Last update was 16Aug12.
Nobody died in the last eight days?
If FOP says they were not notified, then they should change the date each day to look like they are trying to stay current.
Retired officers paid, and some are still paying, FOP dues. FOP owes the departed, retired and the active officers this service.
I for one am not going to stick my head out there only to have it chopped off for a mistake in the heat of the moment!!! We do make mistakes. Like if a savage spits in my face, I loose my cool for a second and slap the savage in the back of his head, only to get it caught on somebody's camera!!! And then I could kiss my ass good bye!!!! Or if I lose my cool in an hospital emergency room and smack an uncooperative savage in the heat of the moment and end up in federal prison!!! We may take some time for losses of cool in the moment, but prison and/or loss of job??!!! There is the easy solution, lay down, it's not worth it!!! Back us up and maybe crime will come down.
I am probably going to be on that list,and I am not ashamed to be either. Right now, the Patrol Division is in self preservation mode. With the extreme lack of man power,if I am not on a paper job I am going to others to back up my friends. There is no time for proactive policing, to do so is just plain foolish. I don't care about numbers,all I care about is my coworkers and our safety. It's that bad.
City Hall noticed the overall reduction in activity and wants to know why. That's all I can say for now.
Oh boy! oh boy! I sure hope some stupid white shirt comes at me about this shit. Name and star #, "Boss".
Can I arrest that Commander that became an Inspector that became a Captain that is now an XO for telephone harassment of a subordinate? That will boost my stats
I know just where to find guns and drugs. I bet if we do another search warrant on that Deputy's condo we will get another arrest. That will boost my stats.
Nothing new guys.
It's all about stats not real police work.
It will be just be more made up numbers and crime classifications to cover for the lack of police officers. And you will be ordered to go along with 'the program', or else...
The reason is simple- this department and city won't back up their police officers if a criminal or an offender hoots, hollers, screams and protests. Once they do that, then all bets are off and the city and this department will sell you down the river.

McSturSomeShitUp probably got orders from ex-Ald Shiller and Ald O'Conner and Loevy that their income is down.
Less arrests = Less Federal Lawsuits

Before being merit promoted to Lieutenant, ( after merit promotions to Detective and Sergeant ) the Commander of 015 had a total of 2 Honorable mentions on her Department Awards page. That's probably gone up a bit as she jumped on some and had Tina give her one or two to bump the stats.
Leadership you can believe in. Suck it, McCarthy!!!
So McAss says on Roe Conn that cops "have to clear the corners". How? The gang/narc loitering ordinance? There are specific rules how to use and enforce that proposition. Disorderly for blocking the sidewalk? You need a civilian complainant. We've been through that federal lawsuit already. Reckless Conduct? Again, there has to be P.C. ample enough to sustain the charge. I wish these assholes would learn that standing on a corner, even in groups of 10-12, as long as no law is broken is technically not a violation of any law or ordinance. You want us to clear a corner then get the state legislature or the city council to come up with something that is enforceable. Once we have the law, come out big boy and show us how it's done in NYC. Then we'll clear all the corners you want.

Bunch of MORONS!
McPrick thinks this is NYC. You can't break us Fucker. Try putting that into place. Won't ever happen.
Not fair!!! What about the p.o.'s in HQ who don't have to arrest.
This from the same AS HAT that told us he did not want us DOWN on arrests, so we could be on the street! forget the arrests, contact cards and dispersals, he NEW YAWKED us and now he wants to turn things around! He's like fucking Linda Blair with his spinning fucking head!
All bark, no bite, bring it!
Officer in Box = no arrests. Why? Because nothing happens in the majority of the boxes because joe joe knows that's where the police are. That's a huge contributor to a drop in stats. The bosses own stupid ass ideas
Its the same in every agency. why are tickets down? why are cars seized down? why is this number down?
"Do more with less" is what I hear.
Nope. As a low level police officer I will do my job assignment correctly and properly and thoroughly on each assignment. I will do my job.
Your commands problem is how to do more with less cops. That is why they get the big money. they can figure it out. Good luck.
Less cops=Less numbers and Less revenue too....
Meanwhile, back in Chitgago, packs of violent. impulse control challenged savages roam the city while armed and looking for prey. When done apple picking, they head back to their dens and shoot at each other before retiring for the evening with their bitches and blunts.
You want us to do more with idiots like ileana rozehheimer in charge of ipra? She told the new Sgts that any allegation of wrong doing get a Log #. The Sgts who were in that class waiting to become new Lt's argued with her and tried to explain that not all allegations should be taken serious and a few minutes of preliminary investigation may prove the allegation false. Well the uba liberal California girl ran to lodding and demanded that the Lt's in training be given another 8 hours of CR training.
It's already bad enough that they take third party complaints now they want every spoken word from these idiots on the street treated as gospel?
How about u go back to your office, fire up your espresso machine and have a nice big cup of STFU!
Most coppers now only arrest on signed complaints, and half the time, especially when it is a yuppie victim/complainant involved, the victim does not want to press charges. There is nothing an officer is obliged to do if said victim does not pursue it. Do these clowns at headquarters actually think an officer is subject to a behavioral program because of this? Did they even consult that useless dept. of legal affairs with this nonsense before announcing this bright idea? They have the nerve to continue to ask and expect more from us yet they take more away everyday. Denying comptime, furlough extension cut down, forcing the use of personal and BFDs, underfunding of the pension, canceling rdos and furloughs, and I'm sure the only thing coming from this next contract are more concessions in the name of our bad economy. Absolutely pathetic.
When you have the I.Q. of an orange, this is the best idea the comes out of your pea brain.

thats every friday and saturday on every corner of the 011th dist. welcome to their world because its not ours any more
Theboss in the old days would come to rollcall and say if you are right i will back you 100%. then some old timer would say Boss if i am right i most likely dont need your backing but if i might not not be so right are you going to back me then? silence.
Great! I can use the extra money. Please post a point of contact for the class action lawsuit. No general order I ever read stated that I had to make a specified number of arrests. When you work a busy district and have 5 jobs in the stack, that doesn't exactly leave you with ample time to make a quality arrest...unless you're asking me to sandbag someone and lie on paper. I could sure use the settlement money!
The days of the head hunters who locked up bad guys and produced numbers, thus reducing crime, are in the past.
Bad guys don't look over their shoulders anymore. They are brazen in their actions.
Policing is a serious and dangerous job. With serious consequences to the working police.
The damage done by the SOS scandal
continues. First J-Fled. A coward of the highest order and now McDufuss. A phony policeman. He's just a Comstat administrator and not good at that either.
These hand selected Superintendents do not inspire the troops. One was hired to clean up the department and thus railroaded some good officers and alienated most others.
The current one was hired to decrease the police budget, knowing crime would rise but Comstat would cover that increase. You can't Comstat Homicide.
In the intern the political advancement of triple merit promotions floods the command staff ranks.
The head hunters are persona non grata. They generate nuisance CR numbers and law suits.
Rome is burning and short shanks has his head in the sand.
Rats are on the march. Graffiti is spiraling. A teachers strike is on the horizon. Wilding continues. Police and Fire are working without a contract. The deadliest city in the world is Chicago.
The head hunters,AKA real police,can not work under the current hostile atmosphere created by the current(and past)political administration that keeps promoting incompetent leadership.
There are good bosses out there but they are not in a position to make much of a difference.
It is apparent that our elected mayor does not care about this once great city. He is a carpetbagger with another agenda other then fixing the problems.
Letting this city sink into chaotic criminal abyss seems to be the plan.
McDufess has done his job. He's cut the police budget to bare bones. Under manned and over staffed.
Now you must accept the consequences Mayor. Chicago the murder capital.
Penny Trahanas has less than 20 career arrests and that's not an exageration
The couple of posts I read that actually point to the REAL ISSUE!
1) Officers do not have the backing of their dept, PERIOD!
Any real copper knows that you have to operate in whats known as the gray area if you want to have success. This includes search warrants where usually you have to rely on a shitbag to pass along information and they are only doing that for either help in their case or being paid as a CI. Now they can and will turn on you in a moments notice. Consent to search is another tool but again can get you into trouble even when you are following the order with a sgt on scene and all t's crossed. We have seen that as of late as well. So basically instead of using those and other avenues of enforcement people are doing on-view arrest scenarios because they are black and white and not in that gray area where it can sting them in the ass. And why would it sting them? Because most of the time the person that investigates those coppers has never done that pro-active policing and really doesnt understand it. The police who police the police are many times NOT chargers but former desk dollies,bosses buds,etc
I'm going to go out and make a ton of arrests just to increase the odds of pookie accusing me of wrongdoing. That way I can get stripped by IPRA and sit in an office for 5 years with my job being taken from me hanging over my head. Sign me up!
sincerely,
The CPD top command staff, we got your back
Ask the entire team and a Sgt from 002 about working just like the same bosses who are judging did in their time.
I agree with you but this is a bad example, something really f'ed up happened with these guys.
Did the Supt. ever consider taking down the names of criminals, gang members, and doing something about them?
Naw. He'll while away his days here collecting a big paycheck and adjusting the dial.
In the meantime, they're putting in bar-coded toe tags at the County Morgue.
Like the checkout at Aldi.
Beep.

Maybe he ought to meet with his commanders that dont want arrests, they want contact cards and visibility!
Happy 9 year anniversary 03-04! Remember when we all thought that some of us may have gotten a chance to take a test and get promoted by now?! We were so naive back then....Oh well. Stay safe all!

That is not what the Commander said. It appears as it did in 011 when this boxed shit started that the NY savior feels boxes will deter crime and if there is a round-up or saturation in the area a box will be established so the crime does not return. We all know they are a joke, a waste of time and are very welcomed by those that don't want to do anything all day. The P/O's and Sgt.'s in 10 work their a$$e$ off every day running from call to call sometimes not even getting a chance to use the bathroom. For the most part everyone in 10 does what they have to do and were always willing to help out the boss when activity was needed, even for Commander Pena. But then the powers that be decided that we don't need more police, we will just work the ones we have to death and then maybe hire some more. CW takes this to heart and loves to make people miserable, she is the one ruining 10 far more than Pena can ever do. As for the boxes ask the ones who demand to be the box car, what type of punishment it is. It actually makes me sick to hear these P/O's yes some FTO"s demand a box cause they don't want to work a Bt car, your fellow officers appreciate your help.

Well now, isnt that special?!?!?
The above poster is right on. We do our job. Answer our calls and most back each other up. Commander Pena for the most part, has her hands tied with most of whats dished out. Thats downtowns orders. They make the rules. Sure she was given the job as Commander, a job that I wouldnt want. Forced days off with no pay. I know a 9161 who probably takes more home a month than the Commander does. Making a District run with no manpower and broken equipment. We all have experienced countless District Commanders, but NONE of them have had it as bad as it is now. I too have had to wait to till the end of the tour to piss just about everyday. M.P. is approachable and easy to talk to. I just dont expect any perks anymore because I believe the Mayor and past criminal politicians and their families have put us where we are at with their greed and criminal acts. No one can blame M.P. for anything going on right now. I was at that Supervisor meeting. The Commanders words were twisted and being blown out of proportion. PO's are expected to do a job. M.P. just expects everyone to pull their own weight. The 10th District has been a little more relaxed over the last week or so. C.W. is on her furlo......

But what about CAPS and Community Policing? Workin to resolve problems without arrests ? Thats what we were all sold on, wasn't it? You simply cannot win, when policing the City of Chicago, Land of Political Correctness and Corruption run amuck.
This Brain Fart by the Dept sounds like Leadership by Dictator.
When is Mcbarstool gonna realize that there just are not enough boots on the ground. It is impossible to replicate arrest numbers with nearly 1/3 less officers per watch.
Somebody still has to answer all of these jobs!

How were things in Chicago gentlemen, we here at Northern Illinois Unoversity got our assess kicked by a gathering of about 500-600 students in the street who wanted nothing more than to drink and fight to celebrate the start of the school year.

You should of bused them down to 79th street it would of been a hoot. one side will throw bottles and the other side would answer with a barrage from a chopper or a street sweeper.
My activity was the one bagger. Now I won't even do an anov . let the animals smoke their herb and get high then go do their drive by shootings.

We have the same thing here, it's called the Bud Billiken Parade.
Wait a minute!!
This IS the same superintendent Garry McCarthy whose ass the masses of Hair Gel officers (and plenty of duped veterans) lined up to kiss following his rehearsed performance at NATO, isn't it?
Naw!! It CAN'T be!!! He's a copper's cop that stood with us on the front lines, swore he had our backs and got all teary eyed for the national media reminiscing about it. Would a guy like that push for something like this?? I must say that I'm shocked! Completely and utterly shocked, I tell ya!
Sarcasm / OFF
When will you idiots realize that McInitiative and anyone else in the position of Superintendent past, present or future is a puppet mouthpiece for the mayor? They are all well paid actors that perform the scripts handed to them by the mayor and the city council. The only difference between Supes is their acting abilities. GMac's "government sponsored racism" diatribe at St. Sabina to sate Pfleger's Pflock should've been your first clue. That little performance totally eclipsed Cline's 'improvised' hugging of Meeks. Same goes for the rest of the Bossholes down at Fort Fellatio. Sure, some may have had an inkling of "being the police" in their blood at one time, but all that goes out the window when you sell your soul for that gold star and hefty salary.
If anyone of those big shots...ANYONE of them...actually gave a shit about "the job" and the miserable state it's in today, they'd stand up at a CONstat meeting and tell McOutOfTouchWithChicagoReality what time it was.
They'd go to bat for us peons in the blue shirts.
I'd give a months pay to have just one DC reply: "my people, within reason, will continue to have as much time off as they need to be with their families, to enjoy their furloughs and to just sometimes take a break from this shitty job. Sorry Superintendent, but that's the way it's gonna have to be", when the time off restrictions are brought up.
And since none of this pipedream will ever come to fruition, and the over promoted clueless clouted will continue to run the CPD ship aground, it remains every man for himself.
OT, does anyone know why when it's 100 degrees outside Mc Carthy always wears long sleeve shirts? Is he hiding old gang tattoos?
Yeah sure I will go out and work so guys like Sgt mb from iad can put a case on me
I think not....

I pads are awesome!!!!
I can tell you why arrest are down, because we keep getting fucked with commanders that didn't do shit there whole career, and never got fucked with.
Probable cause. Terry v. Ohio . Don't let the powers that be force you to make bad choices . Mc Sup. will be gone soon enough and you will be stuck holding the bag. The hook or crook mentally is a thing of the past. Let the politicans enact laws to address the crime issues. For too long the police did whatever it took to do the job. It's not being a dog, it's being smart. You don't have to follow an order you know to be unlawful.
Let's also factor in the declining population base, and that the CHA is nothing compared to what it use to to. maybe some suburban coppers will chime in with an AMEN regardings Daley's vision to spread the wealth, and the unintended consequence of the crap going to the suburbs.
I am probably going to be on that list,and I am not ashamed to be either. Right now, the Patrol Division is in self preservation mode. With the extreme lack of man power,if I am not on a paper job I am going to others to back up my friends. There is no time for proactive policing, to do so is just plain foolish. I don't care about numbers,all I care about is my coworkers and our safety. It's that bad.
at least it wont take him that long to look up the small amount of patrolmen we have, the problem will be the 500 that are probably still in the system even tho they retired 6-10 months ago.
The incompetent leaders ought to be glad we are not following them into war, they would be the ones that were killed, by friendly fire. 7 out of 10 Lts and above are whining, sniveling, kool aid drinking asshats that have forgotten what it was like to actually be in patrol. Not that they ever did anything there either, but at least they had to answer a call or two each watch, that is if they were not assigned to some cushey inside gig.
This job us ruined, ruined by those that are at the highest levels and are afraid to speak their minds. The citizens of some neighborhoods are even speaking their minds and saying to bring back the Shock and Awe police.
McCarthy, if you or one of your stooges are reading this do the Chicago police a favor; man up and get the Hell out of our town and head back east. Admit it, you do not like us, what was it?....Oh yeah, you said "What kind of pussies are these Chicago coppers to blow a 0.0 on a Saturday night, off duty working a side job when he gets into a shooting." Yet you would have Hung the poor guy if he had blown higher, or handed him over to IPRA, and let them put him in callback for years while they stumble their way through an investigation. Yep you give the detectives 10 days to get their nova done. Admit that you have never ever been the police, and your smoke and mirror strategy changing every time it doesn't work is just proof of your incompetence to handle the dynamic of Chicago crime and its criminal element.
I'm not the best, the smartest or the most rich detective in the world, but I have led men, and I am a parent and I know that you praise in public and admonish in private. You don't prove anything by ranting and raving during your CompStat meetings, other than to show you are not in control of your own emotions. Just do us all all a favor and move on, and save yourself some further embarrassment.
I will see youuuuuuuuu, in court! $$$$$$
Sooooooooo....Where do I send my RESUME? 189? 153? 606? TACT? GANGS? Corp Counsel? IAD? 35th St.? the Custodial Closet?
Ah forget it.....they made it clear before they don't want me anyways when they dumped me before......so back to the HOLE!
Unless they INDEMNIFY us somehow on police action and protect us from civil recourse this job may NEVER come around again in STATS!
Think logically Powers that be!
Personal Concern life for me I guess!

Hey dipshit. The wellness program does not apply to FOP members. Get your facts straight before you rile yourself and everybody else up.
The Politicians and Exempts want us to produce arrests?
Fine.
I'm starting with Burke.
Why not provide indemnification from punitive damages to protect us and our families when that inevitable federal lawsuit appears from the PLO or Loevey n Loevey. Officers who have done absolutely nothing wrong have, recently, been hit with hefty punitive damages. Now you ask us to "push the envelope". Who amoungst us can afford to pay out $50,000.00 out our own pockets to some "poor soul" three or four years from now ( long after McCarthy has left Chicago) because we agressively implemented McCarthy's desparate measures in a desperate attempt to save his reputation.
A bunch of POs are going to be stripped due to abusing the medical. Last night, McCarthy found out the media was leaked some of the footage of officer's actions. He was irate in front of 011
Haha..... U assholes got the police department that you wanted, so now DEAL WITH it. U wanted the warm soft police, and now u don't like it, well I don't like sitting at 219 Dearborn and listing my assets for the pond scum like Kirby and Kirby and the rest, so until that magical retirement day comes u will get exactly what u wanted out of me.

Dear McAsshole,
Good luck.
Council me all you want. I'll be sure to let Adam Schwartz, senior attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois know of your tacts.
Welcome to Cook County.
Years ago in Minnesota, there was a story in the paper that the State Patrol was looking at number of tickets each officer issued. If they fell too far below the 'average', they were going to have to see a psychologist to see if they had "some problem writing tickets".
The leadership of the Patrol did deny they had a 'quota system'.
I really believed them. ("cough, roll eyes, cough, cough")
WHO cares?!?!?!
I will sleep my last 2yrs away on 1st watch in a shit district....what are they going to do to me?

4. If they still under perform then

OMG! They are going to send me in front of the City Coucil? I am so scared of Burke and Suarez. OK boss, I will lock somebody up. Last place I want to be is in front of the Council!
You think McCarthy is bad? Wait until he gets bounced and we get a new Superintendent. The whole back of the bus treatment for Chicago's first responders is about to come full circle within 2 years. P.O.'s from the last major hiring have 13 to 15 years on now. Just wait until they have 20-25 years. They think nothing is getting done now? Wait until then those stats are available.
When I was a worker all it got me was grief. Idiot bosses. Cry babies who get mad because your numbers are better.
So I just stopped. Then some diaper dickhead made up an automated arrest system that works like shit. On line reporting... Bullshit. I have to drive around looking for a connection. Or do like most do, just go into the station to finish it. WOW big time saver. Arrest reporting online. Yea when it works.
You can counsel me until you turn blue in the face. Personal concern me. LAWSUIT.
Hmm looks like you top brass idiots are reaping what you sewed.
Even if we got a decent contract, even if we were treated better, even if working conditions got better, even if we were set up to be successful. I have only a short time to go and could give a flyin fuck about this city.
I come in, I answer my calls, I clear immediatley and I give could police service. Thats all you are getting like it or not. Go to hell!

Before being merit promoted to Lieutenant, ( after merit promotions to Detective and Sergeant ) the Commander of 015 had a total of 2 Honorable mentions on her Department Awards page. That's probably gone up a bit as she jumped on some and had Tina give her one or two to bump the stats.
Leadership you can believe in. Suck it, McCarthy!!!
Well said. Even better look at her arrest stats. Not ONE felony arrest. This is no joke. Look it up. Maybe she should be a personal concern.
When you have total idiots like Dulaney in 017.... you will get nothing done because there is no respect. This guy looks in the mirror and says... "I LOVE YOU".
If he treated the troops 25% as good as he treats those totally stupid community concerns, he might get a few to work. What a tool!
Gee, if I stop working in 006/005/007/011/003/002, will I get dumped to a better north side district?

Murders highest in nation.
But overall crime down, in Chicago. With no reports submitted, we'll have no crime.
Brilliant. Problem solved, I'm

I'd like to see arrest activity etc. from the house mice at HQ.
They always mysteriously seem to get promoted in disproportionate numbers don't they??
So if my numbers are up, then what? Or is this all stick, no carrot? Thought so. 19P

We've got several regulars on my watch that regularly abuse the shit out of this system yet nothing ever seems to happen to them. Some of these shysters have been on medical/IOD for about 1/3 of their careers!!
55 MILLION Dollars to build a park for Maggie Daley, while I'm worried about having a pension after 20+ years of this job and multiple breaks, surgeries, strains, sprains and sacrifice. Then you are going to treat me, in my later years as an enemy? This by evil,arrogant,immoral thieves.
I can tell you why arrest are down, because we keep getting fucked with commanders that didn't do shit there whole career, and never got fucked with.

is he kidding? he's going to look at arrest numbers, vs. contact cards, vs....what?...is he nuts?
maybe arrests are down because they fuck with people who are on overtime--- scrutinize o/t slips and jag guys around when they go to court--- the fat fucking pooch who sits in the drunkin donuts all night long with 20 years on the job gets the same pay as the working copper with 20 years on the job--- the only incentive to work is to make the overtime going to court--- now they fuck with coppers making overtime and wonder why nobody does nothing--- fuck whiskeyhead and his activity bullshit--- I got 2 big fat hard boiled eggs you can suck on bitch....

People are just plain scared to go that extra mile in fear of a trip to the police board fighting for their existence. Ask the entire team and a Sgt from 002 about working just like the same bosses who are judging did in their time.

I think the they were referring to a different group of officers from 002.
Ha, I will start making arrests again after I move back into the city and hell starts serving icewater, until then fuck off mcnutty and our little sawed-off little prick of a mayor. As far as I'm concerned the south and westsides can burn. I'm doing great in the western suburbs!

God help me, I just get in the door and it's McCarthy on WBBM radio again, "Crime is actually

SOMEONE GET THIS CRAZY MAN OUT OF HERE.
I have to ask.. does that mean that you should just randomly pick up people to arrest??? might be more arrests IF Illegal Aliens weren't always allowed to skate due the fact that RAHM had made them his CHOSEN PEOPLE..bottom line here is what people has suspected for a long time.. they (top brass) have a QUOTA system for the police.. on arrests as well as ticket..
As a citizen, I don't know what arrest stats are for the City, there is always new of someone arrested so its hard to tell. If they are down or up, I trust the cops that make the decision to arrest or not to arrest. What I would think those in power might consider is how long police and citizens can keep their belief in a justice system that lets armed offenders skip any real punitive jail time or escape any really inconvenient consequences for their criminal behavior?
Haven't their been multiple armed criminals that have gotten off with probation or a slap on the wrist that have then gone on to kill citizens and policemen? What improvement are more arrests going to do if others in the justice chain don't take the crimes and criminals more seriously?
The police arent the end all for public safety, there are also states attorneys, judges, etc. It's a shortsighted tactic to attack the police because of crime. The whole system in this city and state should be reviewed, not just cops. If I were a cop, I might have to fight discouragement due to a lax system. I don't know how you guys keep up your determination to fight crime but THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK!
Hey jackasses reason arrest are down is #1 these stupid boxes are useless, #2 WTF it takes more than 3 hrs to process an arrest at station cause nothing works, and #3 what the hell you think is going on when all your resourses are limited and your not going to put yourself in danger either. Oh and dealing with crooked county on prosecuting these criminals its a fucken nightmare. Nontheless, we go home first, most of us have realized its not worth the risk and abuse by the people who dont give 2 shits about us!

Well I am torn on what to do. Maybe if the city wants some arrest, then we should give it to them. What if every car on a said watch bring in an arrest within the 1st hour on the street. Then what.
Then there will be NO CARS on the street. Maybe we should do this. Most cops no where they can go right out of the station to find someone to pinch. If everyone does this all on the same day we could really screw with them.

Back in the day...arrests were coupled with CB's and handcuffs...Then arrests were paper..anovs etc.
OH LOOK, IT's ANOTHER RAHM SHOWCASE!!!
(we're broke)
A 20-acre downtown park will be redesigned and renamed for Maggie Daley, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Saturday as he showcased plans for the Grant Park site dedicated to the “soul of our city.”
Construction will begin this fall to transform Daley Centennial Plaza, just east of Millennium Park, into Maggie Daley Park, a green space with rock-climbing sculptures, an ice-skating ribbon and a play garden. The park is slated to open in 2015, Emanuel said.
Saturday’s announcement at the Chicago Cultural Center was a family affair for the Daleys and Emanuels, as former Mayor Richard M. Daley stood alongside his son and two daughters, three grandchildren, and Emanuel’s wife and children.
“This park will remind us of the mission Maggie set for all of us, which is to serve our children, to make it a place where kids can grow and learn the beauty of the city of Chicago,” Emanuel said.
Daley chuckled when Emanuel recalled how Maggie yelled at the two men as they talked during an After School Matters concert. He spoke softly and fondly of his late wife’s affection for children. “Maggie loved this city and she loved its children especially.”
The $55 million park will be paid for with public and privately raised funds, city officials said: $10 million from private funding, of which $5 million has been secured; $35 million from leasing the parking garages beneath Millennium Park and Grant Park, and $5 million from Chicago Park District capital funds. Construction will continue through the winter of 2014,...
http://www.suntimes.com/news/cityhall/14718745-418/story.html
Read that last paragraph again. How much is "privately funded" and where are the private funds coming from one should ask!?
Daley is chuckling alright. They're all chuckling as a so-called broke city blows another $55 million on clouted contracts. $10 million of it is said to be private funds of which only $5 million has been secured is the way I read it. $50 million goes through the city laundering machine as teachers and city workers get shafted on their pensions and healthcare.
Follow the money. Where it's coming from and going to. Remember that "we're all in this together" so who asked for this park and who approved this park -- instead of applying this income to where it rightly belongs.
When you're broke and can't pay the bills you don't go and spend money on luxury items. We blow this money on this crap and sell out our futures as a result. Let's see how future tax rev's and GDP looks when our kids are priced out of an education because we spent money on a b.s. park. Not to mention the ongoing decent of the homicide society we are encouraging here.
How does he know his bottom three producers aren't preventing crime? Isn't that what they are paid and trained to do? The ultimate goal?
"Well Rahm, my arrests are low but at least I didn't push through that Solyndra deal that cost the taxpayers 258 million. I didn't make millions on insider trading,and I didn't try to push failed political theories like Marxism down the throats of what was the most powerful nation in the world.
Re: Well I am torn on what to do. Maybe if the city wants some arrest, then we should give it to them. What if every car on a said watch bring in an arrest within the 1st hour on the street. Then what.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
"Less Police = less arrests"
Department-wide, yes. Individually, no.
If true, they're holding you to the standard that you set.
A more accurate assessment would be the average number of arrests by others on your watch, however.
They also have to account for the number of jobs you took this year versus last year.

That is why you always have to balance your bets. So, no tests have been offered. What have you done for your personal advancement?
Well, it started today. Apparently the XO of 011, (RB) has started comapring shootings on the beats to officers' activity. So the number of people shot on your beat is evidently directly proportional to the number of contact cards generated. He is telling p/os on the beats that they need to increase activity. No problem. I will tell the dispatchers that I can no longer answer calls, per 1100x, because I need to look for contact cards and bullshit arrests. I just need one thing. A written request from you on what number of arrests and contact cards are required so that I can personally drop the rate of shootings on the beat. And I will go ahead and assume that by doing a few arrests and contact cards, that I will THEN be able to use the comp time that I EARNED, right? What a fucking joke this department has become.
Well I am torn on what to do. Maybe if the city wants some arrest, then we should give it to them. What if every car on a said watch bring in an arrest within the 1st hour on the street. Then what.
Then there will be NO CARS on the street. Maybe we should do this. Most cops no where they can go right out of the station to find someone to pinch. If everyone does this all on the same day we could really screw with them.
This is something to think about.It could be fun to see the look on one of these dumbass bosses face when every car from the watch is all in at the same time.
MAYBE CLEAR Technology could go down for, for say, all night...
"does he accidentally tie his shoes together in the morning too?"
>Pfffft!<
if not for the saving grace of a uniform he would definitely be in character and looking like he dresses in the fucking dark...
one brown shoe... one black one... etc...
"Channel 2 along with some City Inspector unit did a undercover investigation of medical abusers. I guess McCarthy lost his mind when the reporter showed him video footage."
He lost his ind when he thought he could rule us by fear.
does he accidentally tie his shoes together in the morning too?

No, but one of his little sweeties probably does.
"City Hall noticed the overall reduction in activity and wants to know why."
Obviously they don't read the blog (they're not paying attention).
"That's all I can say for now."
Me, too.
"Don't let the powers that be force you to make bad choices . Mc Sup. will be gone soon enough..."
Correct!
I've managed to stay on this job through two mayors, a couple of good superintendents, several not-so-good superintendents and numerous idiot bosses. They all move on after while.
Hang in there, kids. This too, shall pass.
"The incompetent leaders ought to be glad we are not following them into war, they would be the ones that were killed, by friendly fire. 7 out of 10 Lts and above are whining, sniveling, kool aid drinking asshats that have forgotten what it was like to actually be in patrol."
The opportunity still exists, if you do weapons inspection...
"Last night, McCarthy found out the media was leaked some of the footage of officer's actions. He was irate in front of 011"
We're gonna give this guy a stroke...hopefully.
Get out now, McCarthy. We'll do you in.
"I looked up my numbers. They are way off, and I can prove it."
The system is rife with errors; I'm on contact cards from a district on the other side of town. I was never there and never stopped those people.
I can't wait to see this debacle form up!

Probable cause. Terry v. Ohio . Don't let the powers that be force you to make bad choices . Mc Sup. will be gone soon enough and you will be stuck holding the bag. The hook or crook mentally is a thing of the past. Let the politicans enact laws to address the crime issues. For too long the police did whatever it took to do the job. It's not being a dog, it's being smart. You don't have to follow an order you know to be unlawful.

Maybe you mean Illinois v Gates?

--------------------------------
A) no confidence in leadership
B) less police
C) busier as a result of less police-chasing jobs.
d) arrest process has become a real hassle.
e) city wants to fire p.os left and right for "minor" stuff.
f) Zero incentive for P.O
G) etc.
OOOOH< OOOH< midnights in 006, yes please dump me !

can't do it.
you're my favorite turd.
I can't speak for everyone but I know my activity went WAY DOWN when I got my Sealy Sleep Number Pillow Set for Christmas last year and began taking it with me on my midnite shift in 006. I was going to just take a personal but that darn pillow really works. I suggested it to some of the more troublesome, recidivists on my beat and even they are amazed with the refreshing, good nights sleep they get. They have found that day crime is easy breezy when you're refreshed and don't have to dodge the cops in dark alleys and gangways. Daytime cops rarely leave the comfort of their Sealy Sleep Number Car Seats to chase any mother fuckers.
"Someone downtown better think this thing through." That's rich!
Hey, remember the good old days of NATO?
6 weeks left, it's not my fight any more.
" . . . I've managed to stay on this job through two mayors, a couple of good superintendents, several not-so-good superintendents and numerous idiot bosses. They all move on after while."
Most of them with "gold braid" enhanced pensions
Per our C.O. this is how it will work.
1. Each watch will identify their
bottom three producers.
2. Then they will Council these
Officers on paper.
3. Give these Officers a set time
to bring their performance up.
4. If they still under perform then
Personel Concern initiated.
What a crock. And you scared little educated turds will shake in yr boots. Bring it on. I answer my calls and clear immediately. Nothin you can do.
Hell with FOP. Can you EEOC?
55 million????? maggie park???? pleseeeeeee help me...
HOLY CRAP! Never mind the crumbling pensions. Let alone the wildings, killings. geez will the mummbling idiot ever go away?
Not really. Bosses will make half the car answer calls and the other half process the arrest.
I can't wait! They tried this before. First people they will try to hand their ass to are the inside bid guys.
WTF!! this guy had NO arrests and works in a district!.
Yes, but you didn't bump the stats program with the automated A&A's to see if this person is classified as desk officer, relief officer, beat officer or crossing guard! Oh, shit, that would make a difference now, wouldn't it??? Hmm. Umm. Well, gee, we didn't think of that. Useless...
HOLY CRAP! Never mind the crumbling pensions. Let alone the wildings, killings. geez will the mummbling idiot ever go away?

i'm working on it.
there are, however, multiple layers.
Chalkie
I work in 011. What could they possibly do to me? Send me to a shrink? Then the shrink would need a shrink!
Grabbing at straws has no clue and is desperate!!!
YOU ARE PATHETIC AS A LEADER GO BACK TO JERSEY SHORE!!!!!
