New 9-1-1 Policy
Advocated here for years. Maybe someone is actually listening?
- After years of discussion and delay, Chicago is finally ready to usher in a revolutionary change in 911 dispatch to free police officers to respond to the most serious crimes, a top mayoral aide said Thursday.
Gary Schenkel, executive director of the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications, disclosed that Police Supt. Garry McCarthy has drafted a “general order” outlining the “call diversion” plan that will alter a dispatch policy that sends police officers to respond to 70 percent of 911 calls, compared with 30 percent in other major cities.
It won’t be implemented until the public is educated and physical improvements to the 911 center floor are completed, he said.
Of course, that could take years. Years beyond McNewYawk's tenure even. And that delay could kill the entire project.
We imagine Rahm will demand a commensurate pay reduction since we'll all have 40 or 60% more time to spend on revenue generation once service calls are redirected to 3-1-1 or disregarded entirely. We sense a long road ahead, with many bumps. Bumps involving slowed hiring, more positions unfilled and a complete lack of advancement opportunities.

What is interesting is Schenkle claims there was 100,000 more 911 calls in march 2012 than march 2011,and year to date there is an 8% increase in calls but somehow crime is down. Hmmm all those people must be calling just to say. I wonder if any reporter will notice that calls for service are way up but the city is claiming crime is down.
Yeah fuckin right on zone 8 jobs that should have been sent to 311 under current policy get sent to officers. Um thefts for instance not just occured happebed hours ago a car is assigned. On zone 7 my motor cycke was stolen while I was at work my wife talked to 311.
"Bumps involving slowed hiring, more positions unfilled and a complete lack of advancement opportunities."
Like the past 5 years? Or worse?
Buh-Bye Broken Windows crime methodology. We have a new initiative of the month.
Like so many other Rahm directives, a lot of talk and no actionable results too.
No more ET"S for burglary's!
No officers sent to jobs wear offender is not on scene.
WY-slinger sounds like he didn't discuss this with any patrolmen or detectives.
oh well it means more people will be stripped of their stars to fill up call back to shorten the halfhour wait!!!
I'll tell ya, this department and mayor does everything in there power to avoid hiring the thousands of officers we're short. stupid brainstorm ideas of gang audits, cameras, event numbers and dispersals. God, counting the days to leave this f**ked up department and city.
Hahahahahha, you voted for the motherf***er
Awesome no more calls of "come get this mutha fucka out my house cause he acting a fool" jobs. Now we can actually help real victims of crime.
When I came on in the 80's I asked an old timer how things worked prior to O. W. Wilson's improvement of communications of the early 1960's and he told me you would relieve the prior watch and they would give you a clipboard for the beat, of jobs to answer when you weren't getting hot jobs on the radio. The jobs on the clipboard could be days or weeks old. They would go to the location, nothing to be found, line through it and move on. We are in fact going back to the 1950's model of response. Now, you look around and think that all these clever FBI National Academy, Northwestern University, and other Masters and PHD's of Police Science, could improve on things; but, we are our own worst enemies, and police service becomes the victim of it's own success.
Our taxes are being raised every few months, water& sewer, school property taxes,county user taxes city user tax state user tax and more taxes proposed by Pretwinkle and our services are being cut more and more everyday. When are the working citizens whose wages have stayed the same while taxes and cost of living are skyrocketing not scream to the high heavens and vote these thieving politicians out of office. Berrios of the assessor's has been caught giving multiple exemptions to politically connected people, has hired his, daughter and other relatives and has the gall to say ethics and the inspector general does not apply to his office. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Whatever. I'll believe it when I see it. Things take light years to get done in shitcago and most of the time it's just smoke and mirrors. Why would it take so long to simply have the 911 call taker tell the caller "the police will not respond to your house to tell your kids to eat their dinner or go to school" etc. etc. Why does the public need to be trained on that? Seems simple to me to start the plan now. Just say NO!
If this policy is to take place, allow conceal carry because many instances can escalate to immediate response situations. They referred to burglary as a minor crime. Something's gone awry here. WTF
So crime is down,but they are not going to send police to calls
It sounds like Chicago Citizens are going to get less Police service.
"It won’t be implemented until the public is educated..."
<><><><><><><><><><>
And therein lies the rub.
The segments of the public that are responsible for the lion's share of calls for service are uneducated.
Squandered were generations-worth of preferential and unparalleled opportunities and programs to compensate for educational inequities (most imagined and/or self-inflicted). These particular segments of society willfully choose to remain uneducated. Not to mention ignorant.
Blissfully unaware and hedonistic-by-culture, they don't possess conflict resolution or problem solving skills; enabled by a Democratic/Socialist government, they summon the police to solve their every problem.
This plan is an epic fail in its infancy. This 'revolutionary change' to established protocol lacks the ability to inject Common Sense into the equation. It sure looks good on paper, but it's just not quite 'practical' to implement.
Think about this while you await the arrival of the ambulance this Thanksgiving after your brother stabs you over the last turkey leg.
Ok, so Obama is going to use McCormic Place as his venue during election night.
The $24,000 question is:
"Is Obama going to pay for it like he did the one in Grant Park '09 ?"
Actually, its the $2.1 Million Dollar question that has yet to be answered.
Would our "media" pick up on this story??? OH HELL NO!
**********###########*************
VOTE NO ON HJCRA49!!
Folks, if you haven't already, please reach out to your family and friends and tell them to vote NO on HJRCA49. I certainly don't like bringing up a political issue with friends, but this is one time I sucked it up and did it. Please do the same so that we might have pensions to support our families.
Once again Chicago is 10-20 years behind the rest of the country. They were talking seriously (it seemed at the time) about doing this at least 10 years ago. Then... nothing.
The "state of the art" computer aided dispatch system at OEMC is once again, obsolete, and needs total replacement.
I bet there is a tax hike coming for that one, an increase in the fee tacked on to every phone line in Chicago, to pay for the upgrades, of course. The original fee was I think 25 or 50 cents and was temporary, we were told. It was only meant to defray the cost of building the 911 center.
But did you ever meet a politician in Illinois who allowed a flow of tax funds to cease once they had the hooks in? Me neither. It wasn't stopped, instead it was raised, several times.
And now the whiz bang 911 center needs complete rebuilding, computer wise. Where is the money coming from? The current river of money is all spoken for so an increase is very likely.
Get ready for your phone bills to go up, all of them, every phone line has that 911 fee. Expect a bump up. Again.
Nice in concept but . . .
with the Tracey Ladner Limited Duty Program all that will be manning 311 will the the two C's not the three C's.
Soon those on limited duty will be either FORCED back to full duty or FORCED onto disability.
Good Luck with 311.
Why is everything done through the media? All the policy changes and promotions are hyped via the media, even before the troops know about them. This is truly insane. Nothing is done for the right reasons. Everything is just done for the spin. I am disgusted!
Change will only happen when we do less with less, not the more with less or the same with less. Non priority jobs will be handled by at will(no benefits and no job security) security officers. Not to sorry to say "the real police" will have a new meaning.
Ok I can see in the future that pookie can see he can't call 911 for getting shorted on his back. So he call 911 and says, "I was robbed and ol boy had a gun".
The savages will call for other shit cause when they gets no police service for their bullshit they will find another way to get it.
My boy won't go to school today call 911, he is only 8 years old, oh you won't come, my boy has a gun on him now.
It's not that they're listening, it's that they have no choice. I would like to know when useless burglary reports will stop being assigned to detectives?
Radio said police aren't going to respond unless there is an offender named or caught.
We can only hope.
And pigs will fly. LOL. This idea will never take off in Chicago. The responsible citizens will follow the policy. The entitled ones will disregard it and demand pooleeece service and they will get it. Notice how sometimes when citizens call us, the responsible ones usually say "oh officer, I hope I am not taking too much of your time", "I know you have other more pressing matters", etc... While the entitled one will say "damn why u take so fucking long", "no, that is some bullshit, I wanna talk to a white shirt", "I still want a police report", etc...
Now all we have to do is get the call takers to follow suit. We know they call the shots and the dispatchers can't do shit about it.
Not pay reduction - staffing reduction. This means a CPD of under 10,000 total sworn.
Be careful what you ask for, that's 2,000 less paying into the pension fund. When will you think longterm, big picture?
You guys are missing a big opportunity to show why we have to fight CA49 and Madigan, Rahm and Quinn, Oh and of course "Goody Two Shoes" Preckwinkle. How about the story of John Bills! Madigan political guy retired from the city after being involved in the "Red Light Camera Scam" now gets appointed by dumbell Preckwinkle to a board that decides penalties for accused County Employees. He only has to work 1 day a month and gets paid 35,000 a year plus medical benefits and Madigan, Rahm and Quinn say that there is no money for real worker pensions and want CA49? How many more John Bills are out there?
I give it 6 months before some 911 Calltaker is thrown under the bus.
So disrespect will no longer ba a crime?
this is not being done to make people more safe--- this is being done to endanger the lives of officers and citizens--- they are trying to lower manpower even more at a time when the manpower shortage is critical--- less jobs coming out over the zone means we can have less officers in the field to handle them--- the bosses stating that they want officers to be more proactive is pure horseshit--- proactive officers get beefs and the city gets sued, they want one armed bandits writing movers and towing cars--- the city wants the police department to generate revenue, they could care less about safety...
Seeeee!!! Now you don't need a pension. Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain in a ballerina tutu. I am the powerful RAHM!!!!!
It will never, ever be that way.......how many times do you hear jobs for a traffic accident with "minor damage, drivable, but they demand he police at the scene" and you get sent.
People will learn what to say to get the police sent out.
I've been on 27 years, this has been tried before and failed.
What it means is that you'll need less cops to answer calls. L.A. only has about 8,000 police officers (yes; they have the Sheriff's police too) and they respond to about 23% of calls to the police. Other major cities who respond to 20-30% of calls to the police have reduced the size of their departments over the years once their cultures became use to other agencies handling what police used to. It won't happen overnight and you're right ... McCarthy will be a memory. But it will happen. That's part of the reason ... a very LARGE part of the reason that they're doing this.
The Alderman (especially) those in the ghetto will never stand for this. Booz, Allen recommended this years ago and it was protested as racist and "short changing the community" and Daley and Ratt Rodriquez caved.
The only community getting short changed today is the one that pays the bills--figure out which one is that.
If we can't tell the difference between a bullshit call and a bonafide call then we'rein trouble, then again look at who's drafting plans and orders. LMAO!
Zone8 blows. Busiest zone in the city.
" It won’t be implemented until the public is educated "
Oh no, that means "never". the Chicago public is the dumbest of the dumb that would make even any 3rd world country look intelligent
Funny how crap like this is afforded opportunity to "educate the public" and for "physical improvements"
but when they close a station or redistrict it's thrown all in our laps at once
The Ghetto knows what to do...
"...Anonymous said...

10/19/2012 12:52:00 AM...."
"come get this mutha fucka out my house cause he acting a fool" will add, "he gotta gun."
or, "he's jumping on me!"
The Ghetto has the police...
Other neighborhoods do not.
Our leaders just don't understand 911 street behavior:
- theft report will become a robbery or burglary in progress
- rowdy child will become a battery in progress
- a traffic crash will have an assault in progress
Just like now, when these mutts want the police they will get them - by falisifying the call to get the cops there faster. Unless the CCSA is putting on some ASAs to review false report charges, this will solve nothing. And wait for the backlash. Once the public starts beefing big time, or someone gets hurt or killed, you'll see us going back to way things were. We've being it that way for decades. You WILL NOT change human behavior that easily. McNut, Shenkle and Rahm are delusional.
How is it possible to have 100,000 more calls when the population has been reduced by at least 150,000 people? In addition, who will fill the gap of surogate parent if we do not answer all of those calls? But not to worry, nothing will be done before the election and the riots that will follow.
The rif raff are not as dumb as you think. They will just lie and say they it's something serious when it prolly something really stupid like ray ray refuses go to school.
Are there any consequences if they lie about the seriousness of the crime ?
911 is a joke.
Be very careful with this one SGTs and call takers. I would hate to be the first one to 19p shanikas request for service and then shanika ends up kilt.
There is an exodus of people leaving Chicago and Illinois entirely. Please turn off the lights if you decide to be the last one here when you finally leave.
We will have to wait for the new Vanecko 911 Filter technology to be invented before this goes into effect.
The only thing that will change is now on the b.s. domestics is they will add the statement: I think he might have a gun. This will force us to come.
Is the Koszola that is running for the pension board the same guy that got fired by the Federal Government. If so, How did he come on this job? Look up the lawsuit, What a tool?
Best of luck in your retirement LT J.G. 704. It will be hard to fill your shoes.
Im sick of seeing in the ghetto districts - all new streets, curbs, sidewalks, street lights, beautiful parks, and so on while my neighborhood where almost every house works for a living and pays all the taxes gets 1/2 the city services than the ghetto ssi/link lifer system abusers. Not fair; I'm not saying they should have gravel roads in the ghetto districts but shouldnt the districts such as mine, get top priority and service over that doesnt pay into the system at all?

No more ET"S for burglary's!
That makes a lot of sense.Used to love getting an AFIS Hit off of a "ridged impression", and hook old boy up.
Bet your sweet ass if someone of "importance" or a N. Michigan Ave business gets hit, ET's will be all over the place.
What a crock.
During high volume call times, I always call 912...
Stay thirsty my friends
How bout this.....call comes in, held for 20 minutes due to lack of priority. No additional calls received, someone at 911 does a call back if one available...no response no police.
Or if no additional calls on BS call it automatically gets coded after a 15-20 minute interval.
These dispatchers call a rap with jobs that are well over an hour old with no additonal calls.
SUPERVISORS need to earn that OT they get to cash out and start coding this crap
And once the "educated" public starts to add "they have guns" or "he pointin a gun at me" because the police are not going to respond arrests need to be made for false reporting.
So many coppers just walk away...its not a glorious wanna be the ass kicking police arrest but it will set the tone
More "fees" and disastrously less service for ordinary people, vast bureaucratic growth at the top of this inverted pyramid, huge opportunities for graft, collusion, and waste.
Build a WHOLE NEW 911 CENTER with fewer call-takers and more managers upstairs. Why not?
Anything the city does will be obsolete before it's completed anyway.
VERY good material from WestSide and BCP on this...
Just another, of numerous, bull S..t strategies to mislead,distract the media and public from the real issue. Chicago Murder capital of the world due to inept leadership. That's the issue

Bicycle-sharing kiosks project gaining traction in Chicago
"The Chicago Department of Transportation is implementing a bike-share program in the city and is asking residents for suggestions on where to place the kiosks.
"According to a posting on bucktown-wickerpark.patch.com, residents are being asked to suggest locations on a new interactive map for where they would like to pick up and drop off bikes around town. Those interested in suggesting a kiosk location can visit the new CDOT website, add a location and comment on why it will be used. Locals also can click to support locations already suggested on the map, the article reported.
"The bike-share project was awarded $22 million in federal funding, which will pay for 4,000 bikes and 400 rental kiosks in two phases, according to the article. The challenge is finding the 20 percent of $5.5 million that locals are required to match."

The same way the "educated" public finally began handing each other THEIR CTA transfers, on a race-to-race basis, the same way they saw it being done every single day.
THAT scared the CTA, and they eliminated transfers shortly afterwards. They were intended as free-circulating street currency for Pook to idly travel the city, not for working people.
The same thing here -- the only ones who will be charged with false report are the decent people with one name and one address who you can FIND.
Put in rent-a-bikes and cut back on police service.
FIRST THINGS FIRST.
The only way to straighten out CPD. Crook County, Chicago, and Illinois, is Republican Leadership. Dems have had long enough, and have achieved abysmal results. So now, people, it's time to Vote Straight Republican, and get more and more Conservatives into power, so things will progress positively from here.
Whatever. The ghetto-dwellers will easily circumvent this new initiative. When told police will not respond they will lie, as usual, and say there is now a weapon present. Their culture needs to change and that is never going to happen.
O.T....just got a newsletter from my City Pension Board (Laborers).to wit: the City will no longer be offering Health Insurance after 30 June 2013,Tiny dancer has appointed a rep to provide updates. bottom line says : you should,therefore, take whatever steps you deem prudent to prepare for the possible expiration of your current health care benefitsor,prepare for the possibility that terms and costs of future hH.C. plans the City MAY provide for retirees will differ significantly from your current plan.... my question..does this also apply to active employees also? or are the retirees getting thrown to the wolves?..

The last mayor and city officals told Chicagoan's to call the police "for anything" and call takers are not PO's and would need more training to screen class (preliminary investigations).
Hopeless money-saving suggestion in a city fill of useless grooves and bumps and go-arounds and banners and grilles and planters and "festivals" and multi-million dollar fleets of Canadian-made bicycles...
...but stop providing free "City Of Chicago" safety vests to these hispano-radical church/charter school setups. They pull in $10,000 a week in the collection plate (that they'll admit to) -- let them pick up the Grainger catalog and order their own safety s__t. We got to buy them toilet paper too?

Any questions?
so when the police dont respond to all those calls of dogs barking loud, my brother stole my chicken wing, my sister stomped on me, my gramah tolds me to clean my room and i aint doing it, or my cousin wont share his crack pipe with me. just think of all those incidents that are now going to turn violent and maybe deadly. I forcast violent crime going up another 43.5% after the 911 rehaul.
In our suburbia with maximum of 5 and minimum of 3 cops, multiple calls are stacked when we are busy. They give the call to Sgt and they decide priority and what gets answered first. Thats why the Sgt gets the BIG money! And yes we get the same BS calls you guys get...his dog went on my lawn, the kid won't go to school, she looked at me. Unbelievable. They all get answered eventually with a Cop. Nothing ever changes in my 30 plus years....doubt it will.
The dispatchers need to start telling each caller the disclaimer, "This call is being recorded for quality control", etc., and remind them of the penalty for false police report, just as if (as for insurance purposes) a deposition is being taken over the phone. This MAY stop a lot of bogus calls. Verify their identity first, give them this disclaimer and watch them backpedal......And then, START LOCKING THESE MOFOS up for False Police report and ENFORCE IT!!!! If ASA's won't approve the felony, do the misdemeanor!!!!!!!And then, you guys need to SHOW UP IN COURT! This MIGHT put an end to it or slow it down at least!

Good, now hire some more police officers!!

Zone 8 had a job last week, received from a 911 call, of a off duty police officer that left his car keys at his side job and needed a ride. WTF!

You're doing the best you can with what you have to work with and I admire each and eveyone of you ...GOD BLESS and watch each others backs.
Did Mcdummy finally get a call from Bratton that gave him a clue? The 911 policy is one of the first things Bratton would have done if he had any say in it.
No burglar alarms unless somebody is on scene, no domestics with tender age children not cooperating with parents, no old reports, etc. Ever wonder why if you go to NYC or Boston or LA or anywhere else pretty much, you actually see police on patrol (foot, vehicle etc)? Its because they aren't tied up under an ancient policy drafted by the first Mayor Daley's fixer to keep uniforms busier after Summerdale etc. The Chicago 9-1-1 policy evolved from an anti-corruption measure to a political tool, and the city has stayed in the stone age partly as a result.
Can't stand your superintendent either, but this is actually a goog thing if he follows through.

If the public was educated in the usual places we wouldn't need half the poleese we now have. They gwine never to be educated.
Does this mean I'll get 50¢ off my phone bill for 9-1-1 service?
But the dept has everybody so scared to make a decision the dispatchers will defer to a Sargent who will send out a beat car. And then nothing has changed.
Turn out the lights...love it!

Suckers!!!!!
No more service at all for taxpayer districts.
If you think for one minute that you will answer less ghetto drama in shithole districts, you're smoking blunt on a regular basis.
With a racist apologist President,a Police Hating Attorney General, a filthy, rotten, truly evil Mayor and a puppet Police Supt this policy will blow up in a the face of a White blue shirt or call taker,who will be paraded and crucified in the media over a tragedy and thrown under the bus by an ungrateful machine.
"It sounds like Chicago Citizens are going to get less Police service."
Only in the part of town that don't require "intense attention."
Part of the problem we have now is white shirts with no balls, no radio, or no ears (or all 3). 2nd watch came out to a midnite RAP and they were dispatching noise disturbance calls 4 hours old.
Shit, I'm finally asleep, don't come knocking at 0540 asking me what the problem was 4 hours ago, it resolved itself by now.
Do you suppose any white shirt got on the radio and said "19P that call squad, and put my number on it"? Not a one.
"how many times do you hear jobs for a traffic accident with "minor damage, drivable, but they demand he police at the scene" and you get sent."
Sure. But it takes me a L-O-N-G time to get there...and everybody involved gets a ticket.
It won't fix the problem, but it's a deterrent to the J.O. on the scene "demanding" police.

Stop listening to the radio or change the channel.
The only thing that will change is now on the b.s. domestics is they will add the statement: I think he might have a gun. This will force us to come.
So dont bust your ass getting there
Hopefully the "armed" offender will be gone by the time you arrive
Que sera sera
Im sick of seeing in the ghetto districts - all new streets, curbs, sidewalks, street lights, beautiful parks, and so on while my neighborhood where almost every house works for a living and pays all the taxes gets 1/2 the city services than the ghetto ssi/link lifer system abusers.
So what are you DOING about it? Bitching on the blog? That won't fix the problem.
A car had to respond to a domestic in 011 tonight because the female caller said her girlfriend was "acting too jealous." Awesome use of manpower.
All this does is open the door for officers and Sgt's to be bogged down with cr's on why no police showed even after the caller was told no police service would be sent to the b/s call.I remember getting several cr's for the reason even though we showed up within minutes and had to hold the car down to type up a needless report.The nut job's will call ipra and they will issue a log number.

Privatization is the key.
The city has contracted with teams of men in black T-shirts from "Cheaters" and the Jerry Springer Show, and they are going to start responding to these jobs.
Any matter that cannot be resolved on the scene will be handled parallel to our existing legal system, by one of the many "Judge So-And-So" programs.
You want baby mama drama, drama you will get.
"WHOO! YOU LYIN'! THAT NOT MY CHILE!"
(slap, tug, kick, struggle on floor)
"What will Shequandatika and Tunaveranda do when the FINAL REPORT comes in from our MOBILE DNA LAB? Stand back!"
"On the next Maury!"
* THE NEW STRATEGY *
"Dogs barking loud, caller say they have a gun."
"My brother stole my chicken wing, caller say he have a gun."
"My sister stomped on me, caller say she have a gun."
"My gramah tolds me to clean my room and i aint doing it, caller say he have a gun."
&c.

so when the police dont respond to all those calls of dogs barking loud, my brother stole my chicken wing, my sister stomped on me, my gramah tolds me to clean my room and i aint doing it, or my cousin wont share his crack pipe with me. just think of all those incidents that are now going to turn violent and maybe deadly. I forcast violent crime going up another 43.5% after the 911 rehaul.

I've called a couple times in prior years about the barking dog. It's hard to work the next day to pay for the non-contributors if you can't sleep. Asshole with the barking dog finally moved and sold to a CPD officer. Big improvement.

One of my favorite calls from the early years was a crackhead who lent his car to his dope dealer for some crack. He paid the guy back and the dealer wouldn't give him the car back and he wanted to report the car stolen to me.
I told him it was a dispute over property and he had to hire a lawyer and sue the guy. He mutterred that he was at the evanston police station and they told him to go to the Chicago police. He went to a Chicago police station and was told to go to Evanston. When he saw me it was one of those "oh, by the way, dere be the police" kind of calls.
I informed him we don't enforce drug debts. Normal people would not believe the shit black people come up with, and with a straight face too, expecting the police to hop to it.

If you live in 008 don't bother calling Zalewski's office because he is never there, and will not return your call. You are better off looking for him at the casino where he keeps regular hours.
To all Police Officers with less than 20 years . You better protect the 3 % cola for retred officers born before Jan 1 , 1960 and health insurance . When the benefits for retrees are taken away,guess who looses pay and benefits next . Unless you never plan on retiring from CPD you should be concerned . Demand the city keep promise of Health care and cola for current and future retirees or you will be working until you are 63 .

first make sure you pay your FOP dues via pension deductions. I think NOT!!!!!
Zone 8 had a job last week, received from a 911 call, of a off duty police officer that left his car keys at his side job and needed a ride. WTF!
At least it was an opportunity to give some service to a taxpayer & the guy who might be first on the scene, if you, God forbid, should ever have a 10-1.
Read some of the other job in this thread and revisit if this one was a good one or not.

By chance were you born in the last half of the 1950's?
