Nice Catch
Someone pointed out this in the "New 9-1-1 Policy" article:
And this?
- This March, there were 100,000 more calls than last March.
And this?
- Also during Thursday’s hearing, aldermen hammered Schenkel about the perennial problem of 911 center overtime and about a dramatic increase in overtime spending — from $5.6 million last year to more than $7 million this year.

"Is anyone in the media smelling the crap they're helping Rahm and Garry shovel?"
through coke ravaged sinuses?
surely you jest.
I think the mayor and the top cop should take 9-1-1 calls and help out.
They each have two ears so they should be given two phones,one phone for each side.
This may seem odd and a bit difficult at first and for a normal person it would be. But when you've been gifted with the ability to talk out of both sides of your mouth at the same time it should be no problem at all.
This talent should be put to use.
$1.4 million in OT.
Guess we'll just have to skip another pension payment to pay for it because you're not getting your hands on that $55 million Maggie Daley park money. That money is separate.
Don't worry though. "As the economy continues on it's path of recovery..." Bwahahahaha. The pension will earn it's money and make up for the skipped payments. It's all good. It's cool.
In other news the Dow Jones closed down over 200 points today...
Motorola Mobility has caused Google to reduce it's head count for the first time ever and Groupon stock is once again below $5/share fastly approaching a new 52 week low after losing 85% of it's value in one year.
Someone asked the question today "who has all those toxic assets that the banks had a few months ago and why are they not showing up on the books yet.." ..think about it.
I'm not showing any crap. We are extremely short handed at the moment and trying to deal with it. We have only 8500 officers and need more. City budget is more important though..

Received the voter guide for the November 6th general election from the Chicago Board of Elections today. It includes the note that a "GOVERNMENT PHOTO ID IS REQUIRED AT EARLY VOTING."
....and this is a problem elsewhere, why?
Schenkel should never have been brought back to head up OEMC or anything else, for that matter. I know Hillard likes this tool (I guess it's a Marine thing), but he's just incompetent.
How about the fact that eceryone now has a thing called a cell phone. nuff said...

When Rahm starts spewing that there is no money for public pensions maybe the FOP ought to point out that there are jobs for Madigam friends that pay 35,000 plus medical for working 1 day a month. Does John Bills come to mind? How many more jobs like the John Bills appointment are outh there Madigan? Rahms more concerned that he got caught with a lavish free hotel room. Nice spin Rahm tell us about the job!
Speaking of McDingbat, I haven't seen his ugly, bloated face in awhile. Where's Rahm been hiding him?
Although with all the overtime I'm working I'm rarely home to see the news.
Someone ought to look into how much more overtime det's are working. I never, ever, ever, had this much overtime.
But I thought there was a decrease in the increase?
If you think that the CPD is short bodies you should talk to the people at OEMC.
Diddling with perceptions, illusions and numbers manipulations are trademark Democrat ploys.
There's a reason Chicago Democrats are in the White House. The most CORRUPT State in the Union is the training ground. (Another reason to vote for Romney, shut down Madigan's Illinois & Rahm is done)
Rahm & his extensive army of public relations staffers create the news that the media feeds on.
With all the bull that coming out of the White House concerning Benghazi, it's no wonder were it comes from. The City takes the same approach. The City is reducing manpower just like the State Department.
Until a major tragedy strikes here in Chicago will someone challenge the Mayor on how and why he allowed it to happen. Obviously, The Aldermen don't think the day to day crime stuff matters much. They're concerns range from chicken restaurants to block party permits to security fees.
The (Mayor & Superintendent) denials of reality are going to get one of us seriously hurt or killed.
Soon as the new policy is in, crime will go down. A lot of people are not going to report crime over the phone or drive to a station. Just think of how many times an officer talks his way out of doing a report and multiply that by fustrated citizens who will not make a report over the phone and crime will dramatically go down. Then we have jobs stacked that only a beat car will respond too, probably stacked for hours, and you again kill crime because people are not going to wait for hours for the police. All crime except murders, they cannot hide those.
In our district, one of the biggest jokes is responding to alarms. The city counsel will never charge citizens for false alarms but what if we charged the alarm company. Every time an alarm company calls in they will have a number that we can record and then a ANOV is written for all false alarms. The alarm company then will be the bad guy because they will pass the cost to the people or they will hire their own security to check on alarms. Ramn could make a fortune and we could stop responding to BS alarm calls.
Stay Safe, KLW
the alderman proposed giving every homeowner 3 cans of spam to launch at the gangbangers if they refuse to leave the front of a residence--- cardboard cutouts of the lone ranger and tonto will also be available upon request to tape up in the picture window to serve as a further deterrent to criminal activity....
Crime is down, like the economy is UP.
WISHFUL THINKING!
Not a LEO, JAFO
Hmmm. Kind of reminds me that rahms a liar and the local media is in his pocket. Schienkle stated 911 calls are up over 8% for the year. Yet crime is down. I'm guessing Schenkle is in trouble for forgetting the crime is down lie.
Oh yea. Watched nightline liberal nonsense last night. I wanted to puke through most of it. But I did find out where that 1 mill in cease fire $ went!!!!! Well done Tio u truely r making a difference.

How about putting more important issues up on the blog? Why are only 24% of FOP Lodge 7 members registered to vote? If CA 49 passes it is our own fault! 100% of our members should be registered to vote! Mike Shields and his staff fucked up! They should have been putting pressure on the membership to make sure all eligible members are registered to vote!!

I think the FOP has alot of fucking never to ask retirees to sign off on deducting $40 for their dues. They must be desperate financially for our money.
What do we get for $40 a year? DO NOT GIVE ANYONE PERMISSION TO START DEDUCTING DUES. Nichol/ dime out of retirees who won't see a COLA raise for the next ten years. Fuck this shit!!!

I'm a taxpaying lakefronter who has seen the light. Any po or emt who takes any steps or hastens to help these thugs just costs us more. Don't put yourself out where you can get sued. Just make sure you travel safely, take your time calling for an ambulance, don't unsafely expose yourself to possibly infectious bodily fluids etc...
Obviously what needs to be done is to spend more time writing park-ers so that you have activity numbers to turn in for the captain.
Punish those law-abiding citizens for snitching on people by writing park-ers.
If they don't get the message have their cars towed.
That should reduce the number of 9-1-1 calls!

From the FCC site, "Since 1985, the Lifeline program has provided a discount on phone service for qualifying low-income consumers to ensure that all Americans have the opportunities and security that phone service brings, including being able to connect to jobs, family and emergency services. In 2005, Lifeline discounts were made available to qualifying low-income consumers on pre-paid wireless service plans in addition to traditional landline service"
In 1985, the President was Ronald Reagan.
In 2005, the President was George W.Bush.
So, how does this phone program get attributed to Obama? Or, are you just rewriting history for your own purposes?

Rahmnesia strikes again!
I went to job a few nights ago, I was surprised it was a 3C... The lady working at subway gave the customer the wrong bread on her sandwich!!!!! That sounds like a 1A to me...
How come no one asked Rahm about the fact that Bills worked for the Rahm funded lobbyist group for Red Light Cameras? And if anyone had a brain, 911 OT goes up when calls go up and OT goes up when calls go down, go figure.

The Gold Plan for Our Pension Fund
In order to protect half of our assets, my plan is to put half of our three billion dollar fund into physical gold.
There are many reasons to do this as soon as possible:
Keep city politicians off it (and spending it on their pet projects).
Protect half of our funds from losses due to global financial instabilities from the Euro Zone.
Possible war between Iran and Israel.
Losses due to the Fed wasteful printing of money to keep interest rates low and the financial collapse of the dollar when we’re unable to keep up that rate of printing.
All these factors and more will cause the dollar to turn into dust and take with it most other cash based tools (stocks and bonds).
We must take action now! This can not wait! If you have any feeling for the turmoil that is coming, you must take action now and vote for me in order to get the ball rolling on the pension board.
Talk with your friends about the financial mess that is looming in the very near future. Whether it’s the city, county, state or world; we have a lot to be concerned about. However we must act now! Are any other candidates talking about this? Do they have a plan? If so, what is it? Have they told you what they plan on doing? My opponents are small thinkers. You can trust them with your cash, but not your future. You need to vote and vote for me. Your future depends on what you (we) do today. Send in your ballot. Vote Jans!
To the retiree that doesnt want to pay dues.
Quit paying the FOP!!!
We will miss you hoarding pizza down your throat at meetings and pocketing beers for the ride home.
And dont forget you are going to lose that 3% cola. But we worry whose in the playoffs and what the latest gun to buy.

Kevin,
How do we send out pension checks from a pile of physical gold? Do retirees get their pension checks in a packet of gold dust? And how do I get my gold direct deposited in my bank account? How do I pay the mortgage and buy groceries with my pension fund gold?
And you want to be the rep for my pension fund? Kevin, I've heard you come up with some goofy shit over the years but this takes the cake.
There is no way I can vote for you for pension board rep and no one else should vote for you either. The pension fund is spending $250 million a year on benefits. Convert the cash into gold. That's a good one.

I still don't understand why retired people belong to the FOP. You are retired give it up already and enjoy retirement. I won't even mention about them reading this blog.
Wow! Adrian Schoolcraft, NYPD, are you listening? This new 911 program is exactly what NYPD has done to reduce crime. They make it as inconvenient as possible for the citizen to report a crime, therefore in the end run no crime has occurred because it's not reported. If this program get instituted quickly, watch McNut in the early months, when all crime categories take a header, to claim how his brilliant initiatives are actually working. Now he just has to find a way to "hide" the bodies of homicide victims.
How about putting more important issues up on the blog? Why are only 24% of FOP Lodge 7 members registered to vote?

If you lose the attitude, make it to retirement without losing your life or your job, maybe you'll 'get it'.
To most of us, this wasn't just a job; it meant something far more than that. Our friends still work beside you and we care about them, too. We care about the City, God help us. And we care what is happening to our retirement benefits.
So, one day, when you grow up, you might 'understand' why we're still invested in what's going on. Until then, we really don't care whether you 'understand' us, or not.
I volunteer to work a 911 phone once a week, for free.
-"What do you mean he dispected you. A real man would cap his ass."
-"So he took the last turkey wing? Humm, don't be a pussy stab him in the heart with the carving knife."
-"So she cheated on you with the whole section of the 67th and Rockwell G.D's. Listen the police can't help you, just wait till she goes to sleep and pour the whole pot of hot grease on her face, they won't want her back then."

We belong to FOP because we always belonged to FOP and we can still vote, that's why. We retired, we didn't die. And as for "us" reading the blog, sometimes some of "us" have a perspective based on years of experience that some people might appreciate. Even if you don't, who gives two shits? You're obviously a two year wonder and a huge moron at that. Must be a real pleasure spending a tour of duty with you, half-wit.
10:58 You are kidding aren't you? You don't get a retro check until the new contract is negotiated, agreed to by the city and the FOP members, then ratified by the city council. After that if any raise or retro is included in the new contract, the retro checks are mailed out in a few months after the finance division decides what you are owed and mails them out. Total time 1 1/2 to 2 years so don't spend that money now Retro pay also has to be negotiated, its not automatic

Dude, grow the fuck up already. Emanuel's already done the budget for next year and he's already including a 2% raise. 2% is about the standard going rate during this economy and bitching how you deserve more makes you look like a fucktard if you're gonna start bitching.
If the economy stays on track and keeps coming back we'll get better raises in the next contract. Until then, quit posting like a greedy fuck who thinks he deserves a big retro check regardless of how shitty the economy still is.
For that matter, only a true shitstick actually believes they have some right to fight for raises larger than around 2% a year.
YES, the COL has gone up, but that doesn't mean an automatic pay bump to whatever that amount was, we're not fully recovered yet and have no right to demand our regular raise amounts that we used to get in the GOOD days of the economy.
2% a year can be had without argument and without making us look like greedy fucks.
And no, you ain't gonna get the support of the public to give us more just because things cost more. The public likely didn't see an automatic 2% raise either, so they're not gonna support us getting a ton more over that, regardless of how much more dangerous this job has become thanks to fucktards like Emanuel.
So, how does this phone program get attributed to Obama?
You obviously haven't seen that woman on YouTube proclaiming she's voting for Obama because he "bought her a phone!"
He's the President. It's now his program.
Eddie Aruza stated that Tammy Duckworth was beholding to Mike Madigan. Duckworth did not refute the statement. Even though she is a war hero, her ties to Madigan, Quinn and Durbin make her unworthy of elected office.
Agreed! Her ties to dirty Chicago democrats make her non-viable. If you lie with pigs, you're going to get dirty.
The new 911 strategy will eventually mean a reduction in crime.
1st we stop going to the B.S. calls about their kids not listening
2nd we stop going to simple theft/battery calls. Call 311 here's your report.
3rd we stop going to burglary calls.
call 311, no ET comes out to process the scene, no Det follow up.
Eventually people stop calling because realize that nothing will happen and they won't get their stuff back.
People don't call= crime down= less police= Rahm's a hero

My reply:
In keeping with a short goal of getting some information out I did not go into great detail of my "Gold Plan". However in the first sentence, I put the goal of 50% of the fund. I know we need liquid assists to pay out monthly checks. I also know that getting the 50% will take time, but we need to start asap.
