What Shortages?
As assorted districts continue to send two officers to the 016 District just to man the beat cars overnight (something the aldercreature in the 41st Ward seems to think doesn't happen and the west side aldercreatures seem ignorant about), now comes word that 002 and 019 are being required to surrender an entire tactical team to the Deputy Chief of their respective Areas for "redeployment." This is in addition to the teams/cars already being send out of District on a daily basis.
If someone downtown would just admit that we need an entire redistricting plan, we could avoid all of this redeployment and "right-sizing" that has become prevalent as manpower dwindles across the board.

who cares about manpower shortages? these new street cams will bring in more money than any beat cop ever did. we need more speed and red light cams in the streets. the street cams don't have a union, don't get hurt or sick and they bring money in day after day. When they are not bringing in enough money just reset them with lower speeds and such. Who cares if they are wrong? When a cop is wrong he can be sued just try and sue a machine .ha. When you outsource the entire thing to a corporations you get to skirt a whole bunch of laws and regulations and liabilities.
Look at the 500 NEW HIRES -- Don't look at the 500, 600, 700, 1,000 old guys leaving. Look at the NEW HIRES AND ONLY THE NEW HIRES.
No shortages in my westside district.
About 15 officers total moved off of days and afternoons to cover midnights. Apparently can't have too many officers watching their eyelids after 0300.
After covering the front office, primary beats (1 man), MANDATORY foot posts, school cars, days off, etc, etc, we have zero officers left over to man rapid cars, send to details, training, or give time DUE to.
No input sought or suggestions entertained by our commander from the watch commanders on who the management officers on ANY watch should be either...
Moral? Shortages? Why no, none of either, thanks for asking.
If only Steve Georgas would tell his boss, Joe Patterson, what to do about this....Oh, that's right...Steve already runs it!
019 and 002 tactical teams, no big deal anyway. These are the districts that were combined and have not gotten rid of the teams from other districts merged. That's right both districts had 6 teams compared to the 3 teams all others have

Lots of talk at 35th St. Some bosses getting moved on Friday and Some rumors flying around about the up coming detective class is officially canceled and no more sergeant classes till late next year maybe not until after the new list. Sounds like know one seems to want to make any more promotions do to man power bad couple weeks between shootings and Homicides.
I am disgusted at the 009 district how they treated a 3rd watch district officer who not only came back from a serious injury but, woud always be a good worker. He is NOT the one that got the CR against rust polish guy it was a female from 021 that got that CR and the 009 district needs to place the blame correctly and he had it coming to himself. No one was in that vehicle to know what he said to the female for her to demand a supervisor and pulled the log number. The worng officer is being put under stress when he has nothing to do with the log number. It is not the polish guy would ever even give a shit, he sucks and he is useless. I am disgusted at that district for mistreating the wrong officer for something he didn't even do. Mr. Polish personality is to blame, he is a horrible bully and if that female pulled paper, he had it coming to him. He is a worthless sack.
They found a dead body floating in the pool at the fancy Pavillion apartments in 016. Media seems to be pretty quiet on this one. Anyone know the story? That place has turned into a dump. A year or two ago some mafia clown and his flunkies got busted running a dope ring inside the huge building.
Happy 30th ANNIVERSARY to the class of 82-6. We are the dinosaurs now .lol
That is part of the reason the media began watching Area 1 Dets and now will air a expose' on people abusing the system. Channel 2

Some developer wants to build a 300 unit apartment building on Bryn Mawr and Harlem or Cumberland. Or close to it. He wants to set aside a certain number as "affordable housing". After getting much flak he decided against it but I am sure in the fine print it will enable him to do such.
Around Foster and Cumberland there are fellow police offices who are renting out their condos to section 8 vouchers. Way to go officers.
Just left roll call in 9. Commander sweating contact cards on days. Guy is a goof. Do the math for Christ's sake. 3rd watch has 3xs the cc as 2nd watch. Go figure num nuts.

Take the 3rd watch 001 dist tact teams. Let them watch movies and do nothing somewhere else for a change.

Hey mushball. Ever think those two districts have double the tac teams than the other districts because they are still covering the same geography as before the merge. With your logic you could be our next mayor. And no, I'm not a tac guy in either district. Just pointing out an obvious fact.
Keep sending cars from other districts to 016 on midnights. There's plenty of holes in the cemeteries for everyone.
I'm so sick of hearing the whining about one man cars I'm ready to puke. There's a way to combat it but all I hear on the radio is "I'll let you know if I need an assist." If it's a two-man job then wait for an assist even on what you assume is a bullshit call. Better someone other than the Police takes a beating if they don't want to man the Department properly. You keep shooting youselves in the foot if you keep doing the work of two people.

To be fair though their districts are twice the size that they used to be.
It's funny how they keep making sgts when they have no po's to supervise. Westside district now has two rapids sgts with one or no rapids to supervise. What a joke!
There were only 2 E.t.s working 1st watch last night and they still refusre to make a class.

Last week they found a dead hooker from Georgia in the Springhill Suits Hotel floating in a tub of water. Mayr we can outlaw "any vessel that can hold more than 5 gallons of liquid"
The department needs a much better plan for redistribution of man power especially when combining districts. The 2nd district has 7 tact team.. count them 7 and only a fraction of the violent crime of their neighboring districts of the 7th & 9th districts. Wake up all you "never were the police" highly educated brass, again I'll say you can have all the degrees one can obtain and read all the books on fighting crime but if you were never the working police you truly don't have an understanding of how to circumvent crime and apply proper management strategies to make things work.
"Ifs youse puts up 500 revnew gennerating cameras Mr Mayor, sir, it's like adding 500 non union coppers to da force." That deadeye Gerry is a genius
They interviewed your mayor about what he would do if he won the Powerball. He didn't say that he would hire more Police, fix the pension crises in the city or stop deleting medical coverage. He said that he heard that there are two newspapers for sale. He chuckled as he said it and sounded just like the evil head of the daley crime empire! He already has the two local papers in his pocket, just like Obama has. After the Tribune endorced Obama, the F.C.C. said that it was O. K. for them to own a newspaper, radio and TV stations in the same market. It's for the children, I'm sure!!!

In the early 90's, living there was a single man's paradise. It was like being on the set of a porn movie. Lots of cops, stewardess', bar tenders and strippers...it was like Heaven on earth. Then the Section 8 vouchers started. Things changed rapidly to say the least.
002 & 019 had 6 tact teams each. So what?
Ask NYC for help:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20536201
What is ironic is that the districts and neighborhoods that are very short of manpower are the ones who pay the most in property taxes! But the citizens don't seem to care. They just watch the news and don't do any rigorous analysis of their own and bury their head in the sand.
In the meantime the bad guys and gals are moving into their neighborhood and often engage in criminal activities in their neighborhood. The criminals are not stupid. Most of the trendy areas of the city has seen the highest increases in robberies and property crime.
cpd command staff , it is time to eliminate tactical teams , reassign tact officers to a watch.
DSS can assign 2 officers each watch to work an 06 car . Look at tactical records , do any work a full tour , why don't they swipe in and out ?
You heard hear first. Big changes coming Friday after 1600.
I was at a community meeting with the 016 Cmmdr & 41st ward alderperson.
Basically, they blamed the community for not calling 911 more!
They ignored the suggestions from the citizens and just blew them off.
But, also there was a lot of hot air of self important citizens who run local organizations.
I now know why I never worked community relations.
Speaking of 016 a man had his throat slashed a few days ago in his home right on the border of Chicago and harwood heights.

Crime involving north side districts is only news if it happens in Lincoln Park or Wrigleyville.
well its a non issue in my opinion with the tac teams from 002 and 019. both districts have 6-9 tac teams and 3 incident teams. 002 has a total of 10 teams.. 002 is not even that busy. I think they can spare a team or two. sounds like someone from 002 or 019 is mad that they have to go work in the ghetto.... scared???

009th district??? You dont say. First off where do I start about the "special people" who work in 009 on the third watch. 009 has nothing but arrogant, know it all hairgels working on third watch.. Not only 3rd watch but 009 TAC could be the worst ever. 009 TAC is the biggest "click" i have ever seen. Granted, I have never worked a day in 009 but I know many people from 009, a good amount of people who work tac and I work in a unit that is commonly in 009. If we go in there on days its Great! Everyone is cool, very nice and its awesome getting help from people if you ask. If you go on third watch its like a popularity contest and they think their sh*t dont stink. 009 tac is filled with self proclaimed "bad asses" and tough guys who could be the most arrogant people ive ever met. Not to mention the blond tatted up butch big mouth E.M. I was gonna say mr cpd football star W.M but he left to somewhere else with this loverboy D.A. 009 tac are like annoying little flies. They drive around with the cool backwards hats, show up on shooting scenes with an attituide and walk around like they are floating above the ground barely saying hello as you pass them on the street or in the hallway... 009 tac is way above saying hi to the other peons on this job who are not the elite tac warrior of the 009th district. 3rd watch thinks the world revolves around them and they are the best coppers in the world... you cant tell them anything. Should I start about the commander of 009?????? Nah, not enough room to rant about him. Surprised that goof still has a job. Shootings and homicides up the a** in 009.

Hmm... same old false rumors: Some bosses are always being moved around on Friday (so what?)... Detective class is not cancelled, it was pushed into early next year (due to furloughs and having to pay for some cancelled furloughs)... The sergeant list is still up, and they will still promote from it (too costly to disregard and $ talks).
Well first off, 019 has or had 6 tact teams,yep, 60 POs and 6 Sgt.s and 2 tact secretaries.......019 also HAS 2 Commanders as well, just ask the XO......
Riddle me this Batman........When is an XO a commander?

Will someone please ask these people putting out these pension deficit numbers how they are being figured? I'd like to check their math. Every time you turn around it is a different (always higher number).
Every officer lucky enough to retire begins to collect his or her earned pension and live a modest retirement away from this hell hole we call Chicago. Rahm continues to hire the thousands we're short and every officer that he refuses to hire, is that many officers that are not putting into the pension fund as a contributor. Is Rahm going to put all that money he's saving from buying bulk electric towards the pension fund? How about all those funds left over from G8/Nato?
Well if someone in downtown stops saying crime is down and we dont need more officers then this crap will stop.
Hey 0231, what's this mafia you speak of? There is no mafia. Sarcasm off. But that place has turned into a shithole.
Would someone tell the comrade lt. in 006 that delaying roll call for an hour doesn't help officers rush out to the streets and jump on 5 jobs already in a back log...We always seem to be working behind in everything!!!
Whatever the bosses do DON'T send any more cops to protect the taxpayers! F THEM!
We are short EVERYWHERE districts, detectives, airports, et,s not 1 place is up to manpower needs. I came on in 87 we had 3 wagons up at all times,sector cars,all beat cars maned, full staffed, got time off when you need, bosses that actually backed up troops unlike the scared ones we have today.God bless all the young coppers we like you are facing no health care for retires,a a pension system that criminals elected have stolen from, and we are getting sued so much and not being indemnified as the city takes more rom us. Why is our fop MIKEY so silent? He had Abigail mouth when he was looking forth evokes now him ad his minions are Ike quiet house mice! Scared also I would guess, maybe we should hire a black reverend to represent us, they get news time and could state our case unlike the current flop silent boys!
We don't need any redistricting, we need personnel.

The know-nothings that voted for him don't care to know anything about obozo other than they will be getting their share of freebies, "their stash."
If you are intelligent and you love your country, the Constitution, freedom and liberty, read the following first thing in the AM as YOUR newspaper, and throughout the day.

off topic: I love how the Do Nothing Dogs keep getting taken care of in this district. What a fucking joke it is, it's their Friday so lets call them in and let them leave early while we all have to stay and handle jobs. It is the same dogs Every week getting to leave early I see for some reason, They do NOTHING. And then us late cars are really screwed it's always the same late car or two getting to leave early. It's Bullshit, how about we all just stay till our tour is over, What do these dogs even need to leave early for? You know who you are, we all know who you are. It's the bosses letting them leave early, Why? What for? I don't get it. To the rest of us who work all night till end of tour back each other up and be safe, some things will never change I guess. Be safe everyone.
What happened at the BIG meeting at Taft ? Just curious

Why not take two tac teams from those districts, six teams is way too much for one district, even if they cover a larger area. See ya boys, have fun in englewood for Christmas ! Don't forget the hairgel !
Information for all who live in 016 a piece of garbage section 8 from Elston and Central committed a bunch of res. burglaries in Edgebrook and Wildwood and when arrested he said they knew there would be no police around. He did a bunch and there are more of his crew out there. But who cares we only pay the highest taxes in the city. also, the head honchos in the D unit don't care all resources goin to homicide and guess what only 12 detectives assigned on third watch to robbery and burglary.
019 and 002 tactical teams, no big deal anyway. These are the districts that were combined and have not gotten rid of the teams from other districts merged. That's right both districts had 6 teams compared to the 3 teams all others have
11/29/2012 12:50:00 AM. Guess what! All your crying about how many tact teams in 019 has finally paid off. Oh but guess what, the team will not be extra bodies on the watch so you can take time off! Guess it's back to going down on curfew missions so you can still sneak out at midnight!

I was at Lakeview High School Auditorium last November at a bullshit "meeting" to tell the citizens how the merge of districts would affect them. I was there, I didn't hear this from a guy who was told by a guy.
McCarthy promised the areas of the old 019 and 023 would not lose any police personnel. Period. All would stay. Both commanders were there along with three aldermen. All to lend legitimacy to the charade.
All bullshit. Off the bat, combining the districts resulted in three fewer beats than in the old 019/023. The "new" district had 15 beats, the old districts had 18 beats.
Then supervisors were shipped out after the merge.
27 sworn retired during 2012. 27 gone with zero replacements. Two died, again no replacements. That is 29. Some were promoted, again, no replacements.
Yeah, I know, it is 019, not like the rip snortin' rootin' shootin' 007 or 011 but someone has to go to these jobs. Someone has to show up to drive the beat cars. All year there has been double tact teams. Two districts worth of tact teams.
The new commander did unload a few people out of the office. But to where? School patrol, crossing guard supervisor. You get the idea.
10:00am-
Get your facts straight before you post nonsense, tool.
Since when is 002 not the ghetto.
Officers whom retired at 55 and out WILL STILL get the health coverage as promised. City agreed so they could pay comp time, vac, BFD, personal days ETC over 3 yrs. For Active P.O.s over 55 You're SOL-Shit Outta Luck for civs who don't understand lingo- after June 30. Shouldn't have waited Boys and Girls. Now retire and pay 1,000 a month for health insurance cause you wanted to work your day off. That will be eaten up in 6 months. SHAME ON YOU! But you were warned! He-She who hesitates looses. Fine window was there. Don't leave too early or too late. 10 yrs of coverage saves you lots.

3:04 p.m. CST, November 29, 2012
A state legislator from Chicago was indicted Thursday on federal charges he made false statements to a bank to obtain a $500,000 increase on a line of credit.
LaShawn K. Ford, 40, was charged with using the money to pay for personal expenses rather than to rehab properties in the city as he had claimed he would to the bank, prosecutors said.
Ford was first elected in 2006 to represent the 8th House District on Chicago’s West Side and several western suburbs.
The charges allege that Ford fraudulently obtained $373,500 in advances from the line of credit to rehabilitate six real estate properties on the West Side. But he used part of that money to pay off car loans, credit cards, mortgages, casino debts and expenses for his 2006 campaign, prosecutors said.
According to the indictment, Ford submitted false tax returns that inflated his personal and business income to increase the line of credit to $1.5 million at ShoreBank.
Ford’s state biography lists him as a real estate entrepreneur and founder of Ford Desired Realty Inc.
The idiot Lt on days in 11 got pissed cause we were joking about me swiping in and having another person put his hand in the palm reader. Then he tells a female cop that if she does that it is a rule 14 violation. Day sgt says no goof it is not cause it is not an official report.
Anyway this is the Lt who is getting sued by a female officer and he is only adding fuel to the fire cause he singled her out in this bullshit today. '
Hey JA your a fucking jack ass and your gonna get it up the ass on this lawsuit. You like messing with people? Lets see your 5000 page report when you get sued.
JA you and your big black Ford truck can go to hell, and we all love your ISPERN plates!!!!

Congrats 82-6
Just an FYI the second number of the class has no bearing on the month of year that class was hired.
It is the number of the classes hired only. So, in 1982 the city could have only hired sic classes of recruits and 82-6 could have been hired in December of 1982!
How old were you then?
Lots of unhappy people. Makes me sad.
Whenever I come and go in 011, I always see coppers standing in the halls--waiting for cars I assume?
I'm betting it's not the same in 016. I have to say, I've had a couple of occasions to call the 016 police in the last 18 months and response time was superb.
But I'm sure they're running all night long, and will be subject to the same burnout stress as anyone in 011 or 002.

11/29/2012 06:56:00 AM
Another lie. At the time of the merg there were 400 PO's and now 019 is down to 366. 019 has lost 34 PO's in 1 year and we can feel the shortage. Once again the tax payers get no services. Never believe a politician.
"If someone downtown would just admit that we need an entire redistricting plan, we could avoid all of this redeployment and "right-sizing" that has become prevalent as manpower dwindles across the board."
Love your sense of humor SCC ! Maybe after Mcsparklefarts leaves ...

Lots of talk at 35th St. Some bosses getting moved on Friday and Some rumors flying around about the up coming detective class is officially canceled and no more sergeant classes till late next year maybe not until after the new list. Sounds like know one seems to want to make any more promotions do to man power bad couple weeks between shootings and Homicides.

True about command changes. HUGE changes coming Friday. Good luck to new commanders L.C., A.S. & B.K. !!
Fuck this job. I am taking it easy

There are now almost twice as many detectives on 2nd watch in Area North than there are on 3rd watch. All because C/O didn't want to make anybody "upset" because they couldn't get days. How about "paying your dues" for a change!!
In 024 the other night, beat car calls for an ET for a burglary of an elderly couple's home and was told there was a 28 HOUR BACKLOG!! Citizens, don't expect us to ever solve a burglary with this kind of (lack of) service.

off topic: I love how the Do Nothing Dogs keep getting taken care of in this district. What a fucking joke it is, it's their Friday so lets call them in and let them leave early while we all have to stay and handle jobs. It is the same dogs Every week getting to leave early I see for some reason, They do NOTHING. And then us late cars are really screwed it's always the same late car or two getting to leave early. It's Bullshit, how about we all just stay till our tour is over, What do these dogs even need to leave early for? You know who you are, we all know who you are. It's the bosses letting them leave early, Why? What for? I don't get it. To the rest of us who work all night till end of tour back each other up and be safe, some things will never change I guess. Be safe everyone.
-----------------------------------
To the above, your kind is the reason the job turned to shit ! You are what we called in the old days, 25 years ago, "A Trick."
Mind your own f'ing business and stop the crying. There must be a reason WHY, your bosses do not take care of you ! Because it is all about the "Me Factor."
I can just see you beefing to a sgt like Northside, 20 years or more ago. You would be crying in the ladies room !
After my 30 plus years OTJ and now retired, I never seen so much crying. Being a bitter lad will get you a heart attack way before your time.
You lads forgot to listen to anyone who is/was a veteran with time otj. You lads do not know how to laugh and make the job a home away from home. I really feel for you bitter guys who thinks every boss is an asshole. Amen.
same thing will happen in the new 012th Dist with their tac teams. Look for 2 or maybe even 3 of their teams to be assigned indefinitely to area Central. Just when they thought they would enjoy their new station think again.
Let's see how it all turns out for Mr Polish personality in 009 when all the cards are played and the truth comes out. Have fun in callback, you useless sack. Female Officer who came from 021 is well liked in 009 and a good hard worker. He is screwed!
Congrats 82-6
Just an FYI the second number of the class has no bearing on the month of year that class was hired.
It is the number of the classes hired only. So, in 1982 the city could have only hired sic classes of recruits and 82-6 could have been hired in December of 1982!
How old were you then?
Funny, I wasn't even born yet, nope. Not even swimming in the old mans nut sac yet. Congrats on getting through it this long
Happy 30th ANNIVERSARY to the class of 82-6. We are the dinosaurs now .lol
Good job lasting through the bs. But, don't you think you should cut the cord now, why stay longer then you need. Especially before they change the pension rules. Get out while you can, F this city.
"Just left roll call in 9. Commander sweating contact cards on days."
What do you expct the guy has two stars on his sleeve& spends his saturday nights running around the district.

"019 and 002 tactical teams, no big deal anyway. These are the districts that were combined and have not gotten rid of the teams from other districts merged. That's right both districts had 6 teams compared to the 3 teams all others have"
If you're covering twice as much area and have twice as many officers, doesn't it make sense to have twice as many teams?
I know, word problems aren't your strong point.
"Lots of talk at 35th St. Some bosses getting moved on Friday and Some rumors flying around about the up coming detective class is officially canceled and no more sergeant classes till late next year maybe not until after the new list. "
I'm headed to the bank right now!
Glad I heard it here first!
"Around Foster and Cumberland there are fellow police offices who are renting out their condos to section 8 vouchers. Way to go officers. "
Don't tell anyone, but I needed the cash so I could move out of the city!
"shortage my a-- , most districts have to many police officers doing clerical work . Put the full duty cowards back on the street and put officers currently on duty disability back to work or hire civilians. "
New to the department, are you, kid?
It's CHICAGO. Certain people will ALWAYS be taken care of.
Now quit your cryin', baby.
The creatures are listening to this and roaming in your area, keep your eyes opened for who doesn't belong
"In 024 the other night, beat car calls for an ET for a burglary of an elderly couple's home and was told there was a 28 HOUR BACKLOG!! Citizens, don't expect us to ever solve a burglary with this kind of (lack of) service."
It's because due to the city's high homicide/agg batt rate, ETs are doing the work of the crime lab.
CPD hasn't assigned more people to crime lab in years, so ETs do their job.
CPd hasn't made more ETs in a couple years.
There are literally 1/2 as many ETs working than there was a few years ago when my ex partner went to the unit 6 or 7 years ago.
Imagine if your district had 1/2 as many people as it did 6 or 7 years ago. That might be the case in some districts, come to think of it.

who cares about manpower shortages? these new street cams will bring in more money than any beat cop ever did. we need more speed and red light cams in the streets. the street cams don't have a union, don't get hurt or sick and they bring money in day after day. When they are not bringing in enough money just reset them with lower speeds and such. Who cares if they are wrong? When a cop is wrong he can be sued just try and sue a machine .ha. When you outsource the entire thing to a corporations you get to skirt a whole bunch of laws and regulations and liabilities.
Look at the 500 NEW HIRES -- Don't look at the 500, 600, 700, 1,000 old guys leaving. Look at the NEW HIRES AND ONLY THE NEW HIRES.

27 retired out of 019 this year. So many that they didn't even bother printing the names on their retirement poster. Nice. If any bosses retired out of 019 you can bet there would have their names on there. And a special and separate party at some fancy place with the suckholes all lined up to heap praise for all the great accomplishments of said boss. Primary achievement of most bosses is simply making it to that level and rapidly saying "yes boss, anything you say boss, great idea boss" when in the presence of a higher ranked dufus.
Ain't gonna be no Pension in 10 yrs. Young peeps on job-less than 15 yoj now-will be FUCKED when they retire. Pension system broke. No money. Cry all you want but retire now if U can. Even at 17-18 yoj U goin get fuked and that's collecting 50% at 20 yrs. You won't see that!
11/29/2012 05:44:00 PM
So how exactly do you think retiring now will protect you from a broke pension system? Could you explain that one to me? If there's no money in the pension, then EVERYONE gets fucked including the current retirees. Logic must not be your strong suit.
well its a non issue in my opinion with the tac teams from 002 and 019. both districts have 6-9 tac teams and 3 incident teams. 002 has a total of 10 teams.. 002 is not even that busy. I think they can spare a team or two. sounds like someone from 002 or 019 is mad that they have to go work in the ghetto.... scared???
11/29/2012 10:00:00 AM
How is working in 002 not already working in the ghetto? I didn't realize that 40th-60th Drexel to Wentworth was a gang free Utopian paradise and that's not even half the district which is now the size of Texas.
I reside in 016. I think its a great concept. As a matter of fact I believe they should bring in one officer from each district to work every watch. The extra 22 coppers would keep my neighborhood crime free.
Don't worry 9th district when they promote capt k from 7 to be your new commander he will fix everything. Just wait you ain't seen nothing yet.
Dear 1012 a.m., Not quite sure which outside unit you are from, but I certainly hope it's not filled with crybaby pussies like you.
Now , I imagine you are some handjob who didn't get the nod to get on the tact team while you worked in 009 or whatever district you worked in , so now you are a typical tact hating piece of shit who knows nothing about the tact team in 009.
Now, I can't speak on the 3rd watch personnel, but I can speak on the tact team, seeing I have been on it for @ ten years. I realize that tact teams can often be strife with people that don't always belong there, but every way you portrayed the team in 009 is basically untrue.
How are you considered cliquish if you hang out with the ten guys on your own team asshole? Also , I don't make it a habit of showing up on crime scenes and acting the way you say we do.
Can't quite figure out why you have so much hatred for the tact team, but you strike me as a unit guy that drives through 009 just fucking up dope spots or messing with the saints or la razas and not locking anyone up or doing shit for that matter.
If you don't like 009 that much, stay the fuck out of it! Go do your 3 hour lunch on the northside and tell the waitress how you are in a specialized unit and are working a big case, maybe they will give a fuck.
Worry about yourself and your unit and I'll worry about our tact team and oh, please stop being such a pussy.
Knock on the tact office door and maybe we can give you a tour.
O.T.
Hey SCC,
I don't know if there will be one but if there was an award for the Best 1 line comment of the year this one gets my vote.
Cameras Dont Stop Crime,We all saw the pictures of the Hijackers on Sept 11 getting on the Planes.
Turns out, they have to take one of the new classes and that manpower ( by bid ) will go to make up the shortages at the airports.
Seems the feds started asking where the money they pay is going.

SCC, your talk about the Pavilion Apts brings back great memories. One of your posters mentioned it was still a great place to live in the early 90's...thats not really accurate. That place was opened in 1973 and let me tell you, I lived there for my first 5 years on the job. That was THE PLACE TO LIVE if you liked to party. It was filled with young single coppers, firemen, city workers, airport workers, and airline stewardesses. It was clean, well-run and for the most part we stayed out of trouble but on the weekends in summer it was a nonstop party from 7:00pm on Friday through noon on sunday. Tons of fun. I retired in 1999 but my last couple of years i was in the D Unit and had cases there and it was very depressing to see what had become of the Pavilion and Catherine Courts. Back in the day the Pavilion was the place to be if you were a young single copper who was into consequence-free sex with scores of women and lots of partying. Im retired now in Mesa, Arizona but really miss those days.

Sure. It gives them a piece of identification, which gives them the ability to register to vote, which keeps the Democratic party in power, since the Democratic party is giving them the right to get a piece of identification, which gives them the ability to register to vote....
11/29/2012 06:40:00 PM
So when one of these entitled Democrats pulls out one of these shiny new Driver's Licenses are we going to able to ask for a second form of I.D without getting jammed up ? Kinda like when ya get a license that says "Pookie" is 47 yrs old and the fool handing it to ya looks all of 20.
Total FUCK deal in this shit hole of a state if you have a D. L. you now have access to everything and there will be no checks to find out if it's legit. I don't care how they try to make it look , they will use the info and doctor them up to look unrestricted.......Just Sayin

How about all the coppers signing up for the overtime iniative and bitching about manpower/time due.
You have no right to bitch about shortages if you volunteer to work your day off. It's letting the city not hire. Traitors.

Since some northside do nothing said so. He's pissed he got more than 1 job a week, his ignorance of anything but lilly white suburbanite type policing thinks that because the buildings came down ages ago that 002 no longer has black people or crime. He's just jealous that his useless northside ass has never done any police work outside of traffic and telling people at bars stories he heard from other coppers.

It's just so hard to do, when most of your area is clouted detectives who all have to be taken care of at the same time.

You need to see how much work there is on days before you open your big mouth about manpower needs. Try working days and I guarantee you will be RUNNING back to 3rd watch as fast as your feet can take you!
From someone who knows...
Let's get things right in the 9 th district. The female officer who got the cr on mr. Polish never worked in 21. She was dumped from days because she has anger management issues. She will get this officer in trouble because she is married to a commander.
Anonymous said...
I am disgusted at the 009 district how they treated a 3rd watch district officer who not only came back from a serious injury but, woud always be a good worker. He is NOT the one that got the CR against rust polish guy it was a female from 021 that got that CR and the 009 district needs to place the blame correctly and he had it coming to himself. No one was in that vehicle to know what he said to the female for her to demand a supervisor and pulled the log number. The worng officer is being put under stress when he has nothing to do with the log number. It is not the polish guy would ever even give a shit, he sucks and he is useless. I am disgusted at that district for mistreating the wrong officer for something he didn't even do. Mr. Polish personality is to blame, he is a horrible bully and if that female pulled paper, he had it coming to him. He is a worthless sack.
009th district??? You dont say. First off where do I start about the "special people" who work in 009 on the third watch. 009 has nothing but arrogant, know it all hairgels working on third watch.. Not only 3rd watch but 009 TAC could be the worst ever. 009 TAC is the biggest "click" i have ever seen. Granted, I have never worked a day in 009 but I know many people from 009, a good amount of people who work tac and I work in a unit that is commonly in 009. If we go in there on days its Great! Everyone is cool, very nice and its awesome getting help from people if you ask. If you go on third watch its like a popularity contest and they think their sh*t dont stink. 009 tac is filled with self proclaimed "bad asses" and tough guys who could be the most arrogant people ive ever met. Not to mention the blond tatted up butch big mouth E.M. I was gonna say mr cpd football star W.M but he left to somewhere else with this loverboy D.A. 009 tac are like annoying little flies. They drive around with the cool backwards hats, show up on shooting scenes with an attituide and walk around like they are floating above the ground barely saying hello as you pass them on the street or in the hallway... 009 tac is way above saying hi to the other peons on this job who are not the elite tac warrior of the 009th district. 3rd watch thinks the world revolves around them and they are the best coppers in the world... you cant tell them anything. Should I start about the commander of 009?????? Nah, not enough room to rant about him. Surprised that goof still has a job. Shootings and homicides up the a** in 009.
11/29/2012 10:12:00 AM
Haters...You guys are right, 009 is the absolute worst place in all history, if 009 didnt exist there would be no more war...And Tac, yes worse than Hitler. ***Thats called "sarcasm" for the hard of thinking*** Maybe you should stop crying about the jocks not liking you. WHO CARES!!!!
To the idiots posting about the murder/ stabbing in 016. Read reports and COMPREHEND them. And dont take as fact the initial PRELIMINARY notifications. Don't speak/ write of things you know NOTHING about. A glass was broken, not the weapon, and did not belong to offender. And to speak to motive before an investigation is complete is just bad police work. Let the detectives do their jobs. The victim was a nice person and did not deserve to die that way. He had a family and friends who loved him. So please lay off.
How about the name and address of the 016 Burglar from Elston/Bryn Mawr?
Yea lets keep attacking each other on a public blog playing right into Rahm's hands instead of sticking togetger. Real smart.

Who goes to 009 to fuck with the Saints or La Raza? Those the only 2 pussy gangs you fuck with? Get some balls and go to Mo Town ya stroke. Nobody is jealous of your tact spot in 009, your visor, or the tranny waitress from Pancho Pistolas you used to think was hot. One more thing, who should I ask for at the tact office?

What do you recommend we do?
Aside from bitching about this situation, what are you DOING about it?
Are you making the department pay for as much education as you can get?
Are you saving as much money as you can?
Are you buying a new car every 6 or 7 years, rather than every 2 or 3?
Are you brown-bagging your lunch at least once a week or are you eating out every day?
Are you going to the gin mill every night or are you saving some of that dough?
Are you actively seeking information on how to invest the money that you should be saving or are you just depending on "hope" and "change"?
The real "shortages" are brains who occupy the mayors office and city council.
I was wrestling with my "cousin" the other day and we took it to the next level.
It was delightful.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Listen to you people! Comparing a copper's work ethic by what gang he "messes" with?! Since when does that have anything to do with character or integrity? It's easy to judge when you think you are the best. You are adults with a job that most people contempt. Have some perspective. Yeah it'd be nice if every copper you met was glad too see you that day, but it'd also be nice if people didn't try to fight us, kill each other on Thanksgiving... Accept it, exchange formalities even if it dosent reciprocate and be the better man for it.
Don't even think about fucking with my Superman glass.
"...It will subject the officers in 016 to have the same burnout stress as the officers in 011..."

Just keep an eye on your wallets.
That hot waitress from Pistolas was a tranny????
