Superintendent in Waiting
Evidently, the nationwide search for a new Superintendent got us not only McCompStat, but a replacement as well:
- A couple of weeks ago I over heard this person say that he would be the next Supe when McCarthy left. Not knowing who he was I inquired and was told his name is Bob Tracy, McCarthy's right hand guy. He says he moved here from New York with his family being promised to be the next Super. Wow how do these outsiders have so much control over Chicago politics that he knows already that it is his spot after McCarthy is gone. Don't know anything about the man but this is not good for the next Supe to know he has the spot hands down.
Nice to know the CPD is still stealing from NYPD. No great thinkers coming up from our own ranks it seems.

WOW! How bright could this guy be?
First off, he thinks he's a lock for the job with no one else having a shot at it, and then he's stupid enough to let others overhear him bragging about it?
This dummy has NO IDEA what kind of insane politics are involved in the Chicago Police Department. Very few Superintendents ever leave here without being blamed for some "scandal" or other, and when they go, their entire inner circle usually goes right along with them.
A snowball's chance in hell and the Cubs winning the 2013 MLB World Series are likely better bets than us seeing a Supt. Tracy.
Yea, no great thinkers coming out of CPD...but there aren't any coming out of NYPD either
"No great thinkers coming up from our own ranks it seems."
mediocrity cannot abide competence, let alone brilliance.
Nice try
We'll consider this rumor confirmed when Tracy pays a visit to Pfather Pfelcher's and spews an anti-American, White Guilt diatribe to appease the catered-to constituency.
" No great thinkers coming up from our own ranks it seems."
Nope.
Not unless the likes of Podroom Penny, Al "Dunkin' Donuts" Wysinger, Linda "DC By Judicial Injection" Flores, Lucy "Tantrum" Moy or Leo "Legend In My Own Mind" Schmitz are your ideas of CPD leadership material.
Shit, swear in teen police impersonator Vincent Richardson as the next Stupidintendant. If he were actually attending school somewhere, he'd be a junior this year. That's plenty old to run this circus seeing all that he accomplished a mere three and a half years ago.
Hahah. I'll bet he knows how CompStat works too!

GE Ex-CEO Takes On White House Via Twitter Over Jobs Data
Businessweek-3 hours ago
“Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate .
Jack Welch used his Twitter account to challenge the Obama administration over the surprise drop in the September U.S. unemployment rate, saying the data were manipulated for political gain.
“Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can’t debate so change numbers,” the former General Electric Co. (GE) chief executive officer said in a message posted immediately after the U.S. Labor Department reported that the unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent last month, the lowest since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009.
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-10-05/former-ge-ceo-jack-welch-says-white-house-manipulates-jobs-data
Come-on guys. They revise these numbers all the time. So much so they are not even worth paying attention to. Yet ever month Wall Street and the media are hyping the jobs report.
THEY REVISED THE NUMBER AND THIS TIME THEY WERE OFF BY 48%...IN THE AGE OF HIGH SPEED COMPUTERS THAT'S AS CLOSE AS THEY CAN GET?
I'll tell you what. Any one of us down here in the working class submits a report that is off by that much and how long do you think we'd be around. If the model is broken you change the model. Not these guys at the BLS. Show me a month where they did not revise the prior months numbers. Show me a year that they didn't revise the numbers again often times off in the millions.
Nice to see that they got called out on it. I don't expect to see anything change though. It's like Chicago homicides.
Actually the best thing for this department is for a nobody from Patrol to be Superintendent...
Somebody who knows what it's like to be fucked with & fucked over...
Someone competent and non-egotistical with a strong disdain for the spotlight and those who seek it.
Someone not just smart but highly intelligent as well.
Also... Someone who has the institutional muscle memory to restore CPD?
In addition... Someone with a memory like an elephant for all of the indignities and outrages The Policeman has had to bear during this season of political and media warfare against him and his interests.
If this has the smallest nugget of credibility, the insistence on continuing to bring in outsiders (feebs & new yuckers) who are bereft of integrity is indicative of the desire to destroy this department and reboot it into Gawdknowswhat...
All these fools hope for is the destruction of CPD by any means necessary, using bean-counterism and media sensationalization to drive a wedge between what's left of the freight paying taxpayers and their Police.
The truly disturbing thing is they seem to not have the good sense to be frightened out of their wits by what is happening
It seems as if they've co-signed onto making The Police go away for reasons of cynical and venal politics.
There ARE some things that could definitely stand to be changed for the better.
Killing the shit out of the culture of clout, entitlement, priviledge, "hooray for me & fuck you," "do you know who I am?" and "we don't want nobody nobody sent."
These are 75% of the problems confronting this Department and these problems are sourced form the 5th Floor of City Hall and by extension, the "executive suites" at H.Q. using the churn and turmoil these proplems create to intentionally prevent this Department from being truly righteous.
They fear the people who pay the freight to make the damn thing go, will empower THEIR Police to go after THEM.
Them that has seem to always be them that gots... And they will bury as many Policemen it takes to keep the status quo in place while creating diversionary busywork to make it look like these pressing problems are being addressed.
A whole lot of sizzle being sold by McOuttaIdeas and l'il Boris Karloff while the media has the fan cranked up really high to spread the odor.
No steak whatsoever...
Not even the bag of bologna ends they give the "good hype" for policing the bad ones hanging around the "co'nuh sto'."
Slightly O/T but pertinent...
We were amused regarding a recent city council meeting when it was revealed that 3200 coppers (present company included) could drop papers that self-same day and walk away with a pension...
Hmmmm... Coincidental to stuff floating around about increasing the minimum pensionable age to 55 or 57?
Is this Tutu's way of saying, "Awright! We wanted you guys to get pissed off and leave but not so many!"
Rahm is looking to hold people hostage now?
We guess they're running out of air and opportunity to not give a fuck because their constituents are putting THEM on notice that THEY notice how puny The Police have been looking over the last few years.
It would be the height of hilarity that Amendment 49 is voted down, the Fakir of Fuckery is voted out of the White House and 3200 Coppers put in papers...
We bet aldermanic assholes clenched so hard it sounded like a cinder block being drop-kicked through a 12' by 12' pane of antique plate glass by a hefty hard legged, beaver-back heifer with feet the size and shape of loaves of bread...
Tracy is mccarthys guy no doubt... He is a numbers guy, he runs the compstat meetings and he does all of the talking at the compstat meetings. Overall, tracy is not a bad guy... actually, hes a pretty nice guy... which means he will not be the supt. But if he is I would probably choose him from other outsiders. He would be better than weis, better than Gmac and I can guarantee you he would be better than weisinger. But guys if you haven't caught on to why we have had and are having only outsiders as our supts need to open your eyes. Listen, we are/were one step away from being in federal oversight after the sos/abbatte/jefferson park/multi drunk driving off duty incidents. The deal with daley was to bring in weis. Weis then created a buffer in the department to change it without bringing in oversight. He got rid of all the old bosses and policy makers and all of the current commanders who "took care of the guys". The feds know that the reason stuff is out of control is because there were too many bosses who were good bosses and "took care of things". They didnt want that... so weis came in and got rid of 22 commanders, got rid of some dept chiefs, street deputies, dept supts and cleaned house.. he then brought in "nobody's" who were not well known to many of the troops and the buffer was caused. Then McCarthy came in and got rid of positions and just made 6 chiefs and got rid of more and more commanders and bosses who were old school and knew the system. Now we are left with hacks, and incompetents who are yes men and will make sure the blue shirts follow the rules and will not cover them. They put space between the men and the bosses which then makes everyone fall in line because of fear of not getting taken care of. They will continue to create this buffer until the majority of bosses and lts and sgts of the past have retired from the job. Its exactly what happened in LA. They are doing it here but its not official. Believe me there are federal puppet masters behind the curtain pulling the strings. Daley did not want federal oversight while he was in office so he told fitz that he would do it this way and fitz offered up weis... and the rest is history. dont look for a supt from within the department for at least another 4-6 years. by then, the department will be completely broken.
New york city has had better "numbers" than chicago for a while so you know that 9.5 wants similar results regardless of how those numbers are obtained.
Nobody promised that guy anything. He read it in a comic strip. Dick Tracy is pretend Bob. It's not about you I swear to God.
10/06/2012 02:51:00 AM
Sorry but your theories are way off. We were never close to being taken over by the Feds. If that was the case why was every boss that had anything to do with SOS promoted at least two or three times since then. If they were so concerned about federal oversight wouldnt they have gotten rid of them first? Out of all the incidents you listed only one person did any real prison time anyway.
Speaking of the vile and disgusting Phather Phelcher, where has he been lately?
Is he laying low for some reason?
off topic: Just a big thanks to 1971R last night for all your hard work. You guys are the best.
If true, I hope he has parachute cord attached instead of the usual puppet strings. The runt really wears out them out quickly.

So far nothing of any value from NYPD/New Jersey either
Anyone who says he is a "nice guy" should ask his staff. They are constantly complaining about how poorly he treats them. And who is his driver that claims she is a doctor? Doctor of what?
This Department is full of good thinkers, innovators, and hard workers - many of who would serve this Department and city well in positions of authority. Unfortunately, most of them wear blue shirts, and none wear higher than a silver bar.
This Department, like the city it's from, is a machine. I giant, rabid, slobbering, crooked, political machine that awards cronyism over capability, lineage over labor, and hard cash over hard work.
You tell me who knows this Dept and it's troubles better: the copper who's had to worth in it despite those troubles or the guy from outside who gets a daily brief fed to him, likely from some hack who gives that brief laced with their own agenda?
This Dept has plenty of people within who could lead it - they just are not ready to do so yet. If we made a real and concerted effort on officer professional development and leadership training, we'd see the rewards across the board - including with our beat coppers.
But hey, when have we let professionalism come in the way of the Chicago Machine?
JF from his office has her lips planted on his ass so I'm sure she would love to be his driver.
Or, you could hire a old time dispatcher broad like me that BELIEVES in street adjustments, and demanding respect from the public. First thing I'd do when introduced to the public is let everyone know that I was hired to be the supe, things are going to change. None of this clout crap, and Mr. Mayor keep your ideas about how the department ( that you know nothing about) should and will be run. Your little thug got his ass kicked? Too bad, just doing the job you should have done years ago!
Hey, I'm Just Sayin, said...
WOW! How bright could this guy be?
First off, he thinks he's a lock for the job with no one else having a shot at it, and then he's stupid enough to let others overhear him bragging about it?

10/06/2012 12:31:00 AM
Like NYC has no insane politics? They invented insane politics. We are the Second City.
But guys if you haven't caught on to why we have had and are having only outsiders as our supts need to open your eyes. Listen, we are/were one step away from being in federal oversight after the sos/abbatte/jefferson park/multi drunk driving off duty incidents. The deal with daley was to bring in weis.
==========
Yep. And those issues have not been resolved. The outsiders won't go away until the rot has been mostly cleared out. that may take another decade.
Look at what it took to more or less clean up the rot at the CIA and FBI. Lots of outsiders running things there too, although the results have not been all that good, just like the results at CPD have not been especially good.
We were amused regarding a recent city council meeting when it was revealed that 3200 coppers (present company included) could drop papers that self-same day and walk away with a pension........................................
Something to think about is that beginning June of 1986, the city hired 200 cops each month for at least one year. There was still routine hiring the following years, but I don't know exact numbers.
Point being is that this "bracket" of '86-'87 classes have got 25-26 years on the job right now and assumingly the majority have already reached the age of 50. So we are talking a minimum of 2000 cops right there.
Which means that number of 3200 is going to multiply, and retirements are going to start happening in huge bunches once again real soon.
That jagoff is McCarthy's right hand man. He is usually the assshole who demeans the command staff the most with his ridiculous Compstat themed questions.
If he was to be the next head asshole we'd definitely be taking one step forward and two steps back.
To the powers that be that read this blog:
One more outsider and the few of us that are still trying to do something are done.
Like the business men waiting out this President, we are still sputtering along. We are trying, but waiting things out to really give it our all. When the new guy comes in we will be "all in" to try to fix the damage done to our moral and work ethic, but it better be from the inside. We are not working for another carpetbagger.
I can see you brought an outsider in to try to downsize the Department. An insider never could have done it. OK, it was worth a try to cut cost, but as you can plainly see, it was an epic FAILURE.
Cut your losses. Send your outsider off to some Federal job. You'll both save face. Then, miraculously: "Hey, here's a guy right here that can pick up the reigns". BOOM! We start working hard. We forget the numbers game and concentrate on the POLICE work that needs to be done.
Chief Tracy has a Hispanic P.O. as his secretary that pretends to be work wife...She went as far as having liposuction and know wears designer clothes similar to his wife! She is at his beck-n-call 24/7. They text back n forth....At the same time she prefers to be called Doctor since her degree is from some on-line diploma mill!They are all back-stabbers....
Whoever posted that is a liar. For I am the next Superstachio.
Just Fuckin GREAT! Another outsider. Why not? Since the last 2 have worked out so well. Only this fuckin city. Thank gawd, I've only got 3 years left.
Way off topic......they asked for merit nominees for detectives.... Does SCC have any idea how
Many they're going to make???
This topic is cross-referenced on THEE RANT with a link to SCC.
CLICK on THEE RANT
Wrong. Rahm already interviewed the next sup. It will be Janet Napolotono. Her long and extensive law enforcement career made her a great choice when Obama picked to lead Homeland Security. Mike Mastes will be Chief of Patrol.
Lucy Moy is available. First female asian non sworn to be Supe, eh? Eh?
The new heir to the thrown.
Hey the boys in the hood are so excited about the mayors plans for more bike paths and Internet WiFi in the parks me thinks. They can hardly wait! Look!
"Police: Man killed over bicycle in Jeffery Manor neighborhood"
I guess the mans friend that got run over by a truck yesterday while riding his bike was right. "This is not a bike friendly town"
They's gonna have a field day aren't they? Shooting people over expensive mountain bikes, Iphones, Ipads, Imacs, and laptops.
So now what?
Gonna have the dept of revenue call up the clouted crooked city towing contract vendor at the auto pound and have them tow their bicycles to teach them a lesson?
Can't wait for the next royal family members ascension.
Like the towing contractor and dept of revenue complaints don't expect the cities Inspector General or his royal highness to do anything or be of any help. They got campaign fund raising dinners to attend.
i cant wait when they shake up the chiefs cant wait

If you knew anything about Jack Welch you would know that the underlying fundamentals of Com Stat come from him and his creation of this type of management while running GE, one of the most profitable and successful companies of his time.
I am not agreeing with Comp Stat in the police profession but in the business world it is top notch and the model to follow to run a successful company when implemented properly.
After the election in Nov, McCarthy is gone. Not to happy to hear if true, that his right hand man is getting the job. Heaven forbid taking from a pool of bosses in house. Ones that were the working police and that deservingly climbed through the ranks over time. That know this city and the department from within. That makes too much sense and thats just another reason why this city and police department is "fubar"
If they were so good New York would have kept them. Obviously they sucked and Chicago unfortunately hired them.
New York isn't Chicago and Chicago isn't New York. Chicago has a bigger gang and drug problem that must be dealt with. That will only happen when the judges start hammering the gang bangers with stiffer sentences! We have the worst justice system in the country. Too many liberals and not enough conservatives. Most of these animals can be rehabilitated!! Build more prisons and put them away. Also bring back the Death penalty.
You see this?
"Mayor Rahm Emanuel was surrounded by Internet entrepreneurs on the wind-swept terrace of a Loop high-rise as he pushed technology job creation, one of his favorite visions for Chicago. (Nancy Stone, Chicago Tribune / September 24, 2012)"
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-emanuel-sports-facilities-authority-20121006,0,5790210.story
By the way he's looking in that picture he looks like he's about to push some technology entrepreneurs off of that wind-swept terrace..
Yeah, let's have a meein' outside away from the mic's
Prolly saying "why the f--k didn't you guys tell me that there is no such thing as gigabit WiFi to put in the parks...dead,dead,dead...or something like that.
The mayor's pushing for technology job creation and we saw just a few days ago that Motorola Mobility is planning more mass layoffs. So how's that plan working?
Groupon another city favorite that's running the mayors dog and pony show called "Ideas Week" -- well Groupon's stock is down to about $4.00~5.00/a share. Lost almost 90% of it's value since the stock went public less than a year ago. So how's that working?
I got an Idea for you. Skip the show and block any phone calls or texts from Idea people like that.
The headline above the pic reads:
"Emanuel: Start over on sports authority job search"
and the story...
"Officials at the state agency that operates U.S. Cellular Field will meet Monday to continue discussing whether to hire an executive director, but Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to scrap the whole process and begin anew.
Emanuel's suggestion comes as Gov. Pat Quinn is standing by his choice to install his chief spokeswoman to run the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority despite questions about her qualifications.
Before joining the Quinn administration as a budget spokeswoman three years ago, Kelly Kraft was a TV reporter. The Tribune reported last week that Kraft filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009.
Emanuel aides on Friday declined to name any potential candidates but said in a statement that the mayor would prefer the search for an executive director — a job that's been vacant since spring 2011 — start over."...
(more at the above link)
Welp, funny how Depaul Univ. announces that they want to move the place where they play basketball and then all these jobs open up isn't it?
It's not about qualifications or how high your math and science score is. It's who you know.
Takes a lot of balls to call someone out for filing personal bankruptcy when the city and state are unwilling or unable to pay their own bills. Not to mention that if the bankruptcy happened in 2009 chances are the Bankers caused it with their banking frauds and were let off scott free.
A complete 180 degree spin portraying the banks as the victim and the victim as the villain.
On a side note. With regards to Cellular Field although I love the White Sox if you're running the club and are making a run at first place and can't fill the stands because of the crime and taxes and corruption in the city maybe it's time to get out of town.
I call bs. No way could they talk someone into that, and no way does Marblepants think that far ahead. Nothing would surprise me though.
Who cares
Whoever the next Supt. is, it won't change a damn thing for us blue shirts. The puppet master is still going to be Rahm and the puppet will be the Supt.
O.T. Kool aid drinking officers. Someone recently posted about how they are the working police in 025 1st watch and how many of their colleagues are dogs. To the kool aid drinking, I am such a bad ass police officer, I bring in all the arrests, etc. you are a complete idiot. In my district we have the same thing. In 007 officers are tripping over themselves for "activity" and "good arrests". I hope and pray that what happened to me doesn't happen to some of you "working police officers". If and when it does, you will find out the hard what that the department is more likely to believe 32 shit heads and their families than you- the person who took an oath, wears a uniform and puts their life on the line every single day. Then it's either call back or worse- 30 days and pending termination.
Jefferson Park?
Big "B" and little "s"
I love how they announce on sat that Charlie Williams is now the new boss of streets and san. Must be nice to get a pension and a 157k a year salary as head of streets/san!

Well if its true ill stop bitching about out SWAT team having take home cars. I'll say it again. Forget the D-2 pay. I want a take home car to respond for my fellow brothers and sisters in blue. Screw the extra money. SWAT is a volunteer unit with a selection process. Any boss that is listening.. Supt if your listening, Take home cars for your SWAT team.

This person really only needs this car to fulfill his ego and hide his insecurities of a man. Based off his several recent post and me being a long time reader of the blog and sometimes poster I believe this person to be one of the new guys who just made the team or not even a swat member at all and just a shit starter. Either way I apologize for their crybaby antics. To the poster, if you don't like me calling you a tool, crybaby or questioning your masculinity you're more than welcome to come see me in person.

File it in the IDGAF category.
(via chicago tribune)
" An Antioch man already in prison for a home invasion was convicted in a second Lake County home invasion case late Friday while being acquitted of related weapons charges. Miguel Rico was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted in March of an Antioch home invasion, could receive an additional 30 years in prison, prosecutors said."
--------------------------
30 years 365 days == 10,950 days
10,950 days X $139 dollars a day to keep someone in jail == $1,522,050
That's one point five million dollars. $50,735 per year. The equiv of the paychecks of how many WalMart workers if 100% of their pay went to taxes?
Is this one of "the children" that just came to the Sanctuary City to create himself a better life? A part of a family that we shouldn't break up? IDK.
The city keeps importing this culture of crime and violence however and then acts like they don't know what's going on.
The city uses distractions like registering gun laws and firearms restrictions while not looking into the backgrounds of anyone they are letting in here.
How screwed up can you be!!
You pay the $1.5 mil to keep them in jail while the mayor and Gov. wave more across the border. Yeah I know, what a racist comment right? Come in the country the right way and lets take a look at the type of people that we are letting in. I have no problem with immigration of anyone when it's done right.
Background checks on guns? How about background checks on Illegal Immigrants instead that end up pointing the guns at you!
We are using these crimes as a tool to build political empires, transfer the wealth and we're going bankrupt.
Did YOU hear this, SCC or are you quoting someone who allegedly heard this? I hope it's from someone else because I give you a lot more credit than to believe this bull shit.
Tracy has a more ridiculous accent than McStreetlight.

Click listen.
I am so ready to retire. The three flat is paid off, the deferred comp is doing well and if there's any pension left for anyone in the future I should do ok.
I'll get rid of my car and start walking and taking the CTA nearly everwhere. I can picture my blood pressure numbers dropping already.
This needs to stop
Obama campaign, Democrats raise record $181 million in Sept.
Corporations cry for tax breaks and politicians hand out the corporate welfare proclaiming that it's necessary to create jobs. Both parties Dems and Reps alike.
What do we get instead of jobs and better standard of living for all?
TV commercials filled with propaganda
So here we have $181 million dollars donated to a candidate and where are the jobs?
$181 million dollars spent on advertising and TV commercials to tell us about how evil the other party is while creating fear of what is going to happen to you if they win.
What a sick waste of money and energy.
Close down schools, close down mental health centers and cut health care so that a $181 million dollars can be spent on propaganda TV commercials telling you how we should build better schools, etc..
This is how we raise everyone's standard of living? This spending will go into the national GDP numbers that will be pointed too to tell us be happy things are growing.
Ridiculous.
End this gravy-train ride and get the money out of politics. For under $1,000 bucks you can send as many messages as you want, as many videos as you want on the net. Why are we blowing $181 million dollars in Sept alone on one political party candidate? Why? Clout, that's why. Keep the circle jerk of clout going.
OMG the other side is winning! Quick fire more people to free up money so that we can attend a $10,000/plate fundraiser so our guy can publish more attack ads, fly around the country talking about jobs while they are actually destroying the jobs by this very action.
Life is pretty nice at the top after you convince all the sheep that this is a good thing.
Yeah well Charlie Williams had his office packed to move to the Sups office and look how it turned out for him.

..................................agreed but a guy picked by feds wouldnt have such loose lips
Why are we getting all worked up about the homicide rate? Dead gang bangers is a great thing for the city. If the trend continues, let McCarthy stay.
I read that he was in the Bronx Warrant Sqd...I don't know what years though.
The Bronx being one of the five NYC counties.
I spent 7+ years in the Manhattan and then the Brooklyn(Kings) Warrant Sqds, then going into the Det Bureau (a Pct Det Sqd) until 2003 and retiring.
I never heard of the guy.
And you're correct...why so many former NYer's ?
Good Luck
I think the best part about Comp. Stat. is how it keeps open the lines of communication between the ranks and encourages the free flow of ideas. Comp. Stat also supports and encourages the men and women out there doing the work day to day. I for one am glad Comp. Stat was finally introduced to CPD.
The way these assholes are running the city into the ground...let me guess, Jesse Jackson Jr??
CPD hires outsiders because most of cuurent CPD expempt staff and XO's were unable to pass the sgt exam . Can we say cpd xo and exempt staff are political hacks .
Any truth to the rumor that there is a study group opening up 80 seats first come gets in. Held at the academy or whitney young high school, by former and current CPD bosses. Please post with any info so i have a least a chance to get into it. Who knows when they will give another Sgts exam this might be my last chance at promotion with no clout and i only have 8 years on this job. I am not staying thrity years 20 to 23 at most thats if there is a pension. I dont want the same 1,500 people in the bernstein class as usual crap if it was so good why diddnt they publish how they had numbers 1 2 3 on the list.. No that went to the CPD bosses study group. Paying for someone to copy the orders for me and throw my backout carrying a phone book and a half around like a 5th grader.
SCC please help............
a good candidate for Supt.:
a) an insider with a lot of experience (see below)
b) someone to tell City Hall and the reverends, yes, we will work hard, no, I will not promote or assign people based on your requests
c) the same insider, who at the same time has been an outsider, i.e., who does not, and will not, socialize and fraternize with others
d) this person has enough experience to know who among the exempt staff should not be there, and demote them immediately
e) this person immediately and strictly enforces professional and moral rules of conduct, both personal and professional, particularly as they apply to members of the exempt staff......members who do not, will not, or have not complied, are immediately removed and/or demoted
f) exempt members who do not exhibit professionalism or instill pride in their command are to be removed;
g) any exempt member who receives a recommendation from a politician or person outside of the department should be removed
and that's for starters....

To the powers that be that read this blog:
One more outsider and the few of us that are still trying to do something are done.
Like the business men waiting out this President, we are still sputtering along. We are trying, but waiting things out to really give it our all. When the new guy comes in we will be "all in" to try to fix the damage done to our moral and work ethic, but it better be from the inside. We are not working for another carpetbagger.
I can see you brought an outsider in to try to downsize the Department. An insider never could have done it. OK, it was worth a try to cut cost, but as you can plainly see, it was an epic FAILURE.
Cut your losses. Send your outsider off to some Federal job. You'll both save face. Then, miraculously: "Hey, here's a guy right here that can pick up the reigns". BOOM! We start working hard. We forget the numbers game and concentrate on the POLICE work that needs to be done.
10/06/2012 09:32:00 AM
Really? Which guy? Therein lies the problem. Any outsider with half a brain would never take the job, and the inside candidates don't have half a brain lol Either way, we are screwed. And working hard? We ALREADY spend all day humping from one BS call to the next... HIre some frigggin people...

Well if its true ill stop bitching about out SWAT team having take home cars. I'll say it again. Forget the D-2 pay. I want a take home car to respond for my fellow brothers and sisters in blue. Screw the extra money. SWAT is a volunteer unit with a selection process. Any boss that is listening.. Supt if your listening, Take home cars for your SWAT team. A majority of us don't care about extra pay. We care about responding frown our homes so we could there for the citizens and for each other. All we need s 70 cars. New or old it doesn't matter. Thanks for listening.

You couldn't be more wrong. The Old School working police have left the building...permanently.
And the Hair Gels that THINK they're the real deal AREN'T because they were never trained by anyone that actually knows this job.
The only ones that would resume working "hard" are the idiots who don't possess iota the first in the self preservation department.
This AIN'T your Daddy's police department, kiddies. The sooner you realize that and make the necessary adjustments, the better.

all he has to do is keep telling the publtc, crime is down. go to sabinas and kiss flaegger ring, apologize for all the injustice. the liberals will give him absolution. for being a syncovant he gets a big check. after all giving up your intregity cost. but he had a good teacher.
Speaking of the vile and disgusting Phather Phelcher, where has he been lately?

Almost got called out about his inaction in his own hood and having ZERO impact on crime, when others suggested he go over to the dope boys corners and take back the hood it " got real" So no marches with out Jesse and Jesse is busy layin low cause of JJJ
Background checks on guns? How about background checks on Illegal Immigrants instead that end up pointing the guns at you!
Holy Shit you could be on to something except now the ACLU will be all over it for having the nerve to try and keep low - life scumbag criminals out of the country so lets get back to those gun laws .........

RE: 3200 Coppers putting in papers?
Hmmmm... Was doing a little thinking about the "Big Push" at CPD where there was a solid decade of virtually non-stop hiring from 1985 to 1995. actually counting the ramp-up & wind-down you have a period of say 1983 to 1998 when there was PLENTY of help on the streets.
(Everybody hired in that time is getting grayer by the day right?)
Think about it... It ain't rocket science. Well, maybe to the feebs and New Yuckers who are constantly selling bullshit about how much smarter they are than the native-born & raised Blue Shirt who has the street-smarts, savvy and intelligence to Police rings around all comers...
To them we say... Run away fast... Run far, and be sure to hide and fuck yourselves when you get there.
There is NOBODY BETTER in this business of Policing in Chicago than the old Blue Shirt.
Context is these carpetbaggers aren't liking it very much that who they're trying their best to bury, has reached up out of the grave, grabbed them by the ankles and pulled them in...

We commented on a curious thing.
Why is the idea of increasing the minimum pensionable age from 50 to 55 or 57 being floated by city hall?
TOO MANY PEOPLE HITTING THEIR 50TH WITH MORE THAN 20 YEARS ARE LEAVING!
This was usually the dependable and rock steady demographic that was counted on to "stick around" in years past but since there's a war against The Police going on, people are saying "fuck you and your bullshit, gimme my pension. I'm young enough to do something else, use the pension as a supplement and live life without being aggravated with Chicago bullshit."
The day of the 30 to 40 year Copper is drawing to a close.
Coppers leaving en masse is going to be more than just a trend over the next few years.
Why do you think Rahm is trying like the devil himself to get from behind the now mandated by law (but post-dated like a motherfucker to give the city time to figure out how to circumvent it) minimum pension funding?
"I think I fucked up pissing on these Coppers..."
You sure did, ya little shit-ass!
Now be righteous and pay up.
"Yeah well Charlie Williams had his office packed to move to the Sups office and look how it turned out for him."
10/06/2012 01:26:00 PM
So how is he qualified to run a department with a totally different mission?
I say make a very young guy Superintendent. Most of the recent bosses went lame duck and retired when they got sick of the shit because they were maxed out anyway and had nothing to lose.
Rahm just anoints out of towners to piss people off cause there are plenty of quality bosses that would make a quality Supe.
Not to mention the political hacks, Steve Georges being the biggest offender...
Before joining the Quinn administration as a budget spokeswoman three years ago, Kelly Kraft was a TV reporter. The Tribune reported last week that Kraft filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009.
Who better to speak for the administration on fiscal affairs than someone who has just explained their own bankruptcy to their friends? Experience counts.
"Yeah well Charlie Williams had his office packed to move to the Sups office..."
Didnt work out too bad for him--since he just "inherited " streets and san boss spot from old tom byrne....what a complete and utter joke this city is

Ok I agree Supt is gone soon can't keep his mouth shut, his thing in his pants or a drink out of his hand. Not to say his right hand man should get the job, but what qualified boss do we have that would do a good job and a majority of the PO's would like? This department is so ass backwards and behind the times why would any half way decent boss from the outside want this job. Just curious who we would pick if we had our way?

Regardless of who is the next superintendent, it will have to be someone that Emanuel can control.
It will never be someone that truly runs the police department without his "guidance."
Nor can it be someone who will potentially be more popular than he is, particularly politically more popular.
Don't get your hopes up.

I have to apologize to my brothers and sisters that read this blog who have it far worse than we do in swat. This person does not represent most of my coworkers in swat. This person really only needs this car to fulfill his ego and hide his insecurities of a man. Based off his several recent post and me being a long time reader of the blog and sometimes poster I believe this person to be one of the new guys who just made the team or not even a swat member at all and just a shit starter. Either way I apologize for their crybaby antics. To the poster, if you don't like me calling you a tool, crybaby or questioning your masculinity you're more than welcome to come see me in person
Just saying..........Greg you sound like Obama apologizing for the video to the Muslim World. That's why we have SCC. The SWAT guys has every right to express their views and that's why we come here to bitch. Who are you to tell this officer to stay off the blog? If your brothers and sisters have it worse then you why are you pushing for extra pay at the FOP meetings. Go ahead SWAT officer and bitch as much as you want.. It makes feel better and so happy for the blog. No one can tell any officer to stay off the blog. I guess Insley you didn't pay attention in the law classes at the academy...........First Amendment.........So how about this Greg, you stay off the blog with your Obama apologies. You sound so scary to come and see you in person. I would but I am to busy in 007. That's the south side......if you're not to busy in 018 eating or working out stop by on midnights on a weekend. Oh I forgot you SWAT boys don't work weekends.
Incompetence breeds incompetence, we have no leaders so how can we promote from within.
When your current leader(?) cows his subordinates into doing what he wants, or follow him like lemmings, how on Gods green earth are you going to develope from within.
For probably the first time in 22 years, I can't think of one boss on this job that can LEAD us. That is unless I go down to a couple of Lt's or Sgt's.
Now they put out Nominations for Commanders. We have the same group idiots who will nominate the next group of idiots.
I'm still waiting for a boss, ANY BOSS, to have the balls to stand up to our current piece of crap leader (small caps intended) and NOT put in his retirement papers the next day.
Jesus, I only have 7 years left. I think they will be the seven longest of my life. The first 20 went by quick. I used to love going into work, now it is such a hassle. Not many bosses have any spine to back you up for even the smallest problem that occurs.
Can't wait to retire, leave this city, AND this state.
Miss me yet????

"Speaking of the vile and disgusting Phather Phelcher, where has he been lately?

Because the Cardinal told him to shut up. Every time he starts yakking beyond the scope of his employment, myself and several other coppers put those Pfleger Bucks (that were posted here on SCC) in the collection basket.
Cardinal George is his boss. When he fails to control him, we remind him that the church is not about Pfleger.
"Background checks on guns? How about background checks on Illegal Immigrants instead that end up pointing the guns at you!

Sad but true. We have no business screening the people who enter our country. Apparently we're the only country without performing that OBLIGATION to our citizens.

Well Greg 353, I don't agree with you. If we want to bitch about problems in SWAT we should. Because it seems that when an issue gets brought up on the blog it gets attention instead of being blown off. Yes that other guy probably is not in SWAT and is just stirring the pot. But we have to understand that there are serious issues in the unit. It is starting to feel like the HBT days of people getting on through a phone call. Guys who should not be there but because they are dating MM's whatever, they get on. Or the guys harping on the fact that it ain't a phone call unit, but we come to realize that those guys actually got in on a call and never had to try out. Morale is low, mostly because the leadersip is poor and because alot of the guys are there for the CDI factor and not because they want to be actual operators. We were headed in the right direction but now we seem to be headed in the wrong direction. Maybe we should ask the guys to chose Ray Ray to try and get him as the second coordinator again. That debacle showed a complete lack of integrity and character.

Hey Loser, why didn't you sign your name? Maybe because your blowing GI. Now go back to your mama's basement and have another drink. SWAT guy has every right to go on the blog. As far as I'm concerned the first SWAT guy is right. SWAT does need take home cars to show up. It seems forever for them to get there. To be honest with you, they do deserve D2 pay. If your gonna give it to the Marine Unit, K9, Bomb and Arson, and Mounted Unit why not SWAT? And I'll sign my name.

GI so you know you are the biggest crybaby on the team with your "poor me" attitude. If I'm a tool box, you are a tool truck. You don't care about the others on the team that don't have cars as long as you have one. Why don't you rotate your car with other team members? You don't, cause your selfish. You care about D2 pay and your own pocket. I don't want to respond to jobs in high crime areas in my own car. And who are you to tell us to stay off the blog? Hope you're a better dick then a SWAT officer.
Regardless of who is the next superintendent, it will have to be someone that Emanuel can control.
==========
he is the mayor and the way it works is that everyone that works for the city is controlled by him, why would the PD be exempt from that? never has been that way before, and is not that way in any other city.
it looks like g-mac is not as dumb as everyone thought he was--- the little guy has already asked him to leave and he told him to go jump in the lake--- g-mac has become quite cozy with the media in this town and has told the rahmfather that he has some very interesting material to give to people if he is run out of town--- rahm is still recovering from being "beef stewed" by karen lewis and does not have an answer for how to handle g-mac....
"Heh... We miss the sound of the "Boots & Fists Symphony" being righteously played at high volume in an enclosed space."
Thank you for posting this.The ammount of funny memories that this statement has brought back. Sigh! Sometimes I forget how much fun the "job" used to be.
10/08/2012 01:36:00 AM
Once again, either come see me in person or sign your name. By the way, I don't have a take home car assigned to me, I am in the rotation just everyone else that doesn't have a car. GI
I call bullshit! If the current guy is failing big time, why would it go to lunkhead #2? Doesn't make sense, EVEN for Chicago.
Everybody, SWAT is great, the K-9 unit too, etc, etc. Every unit member are stars. OK!
But the kid asking for only 70 vehicles for SWAT needs to work ERPS. The kid has issues and is soft. 70 CARS ! The city is broke to buy cars, but millions for a new park or two is what we really need. Kid, I am sure McC heard you your call for 70 cars.
Tracy is the biggest asshole every. A yes man and a bully with know leadership skills.
