Media Plays Catch-Up Again
- Sneed has learned that the bell tolled at midnight Monday for top cops toiling in the city’s top shooting galleries and murder dens.
Translation: A massive police shake-up by Police Supt. Garry McCarthy went into effect late Monday when he made seven executive police moves.
- As the Chicago Police Department tries to tamp down the city’s rise in homicides and shootings this year, Superintendent Garry McCarthy announced a shake-up in his command structure, moving seven commanders to different assignments.
The changes mean that McCarthy has replaced 19 of the city’s 23 district commanders – some because of retirement -- since he became superintendent in May 2011.
That was 05 December at 5:03 PM, twenty-one hours after Sneed.
Unfortunately, Sneed seems to have cribbed her column from our posting of 12:09 AM on 04 December, which was drawn from a comment at 7:46 PM on 03 December.
So our readers beat Sneed and the dead-tree media by over 24-hours on her "scoop." Congratulations readers.

Lets see if the media can catch up on this.
After hearing our fearless leader contend that chicago has the highest number of officers per capita of any major city in the U.S, I thought I would run the numbers.
Per the 2011 census, New York has 8,244,910 citizens while Chicago has 2,707,120. New York's police department is budgeted for 34450 but, due to a rise in hiring, had 36600 in 2011. They also have 4500 auxiliary officers and 5000 school safety agents for a total of 46100. Chicago is budgeted for 11500 but has, in reality somewhere from 8-9000. If you do the math, New York has 1 officer for every 179 citizens. Even if you only do the budgeted amount, it's 1 cop for 239 citizens. If Chicago was at full strength, we would have 1 cop for 235 citizens. In reality, we are looking at 1 cop for every 301-338 citizens. Not exactly the highest per capita police force.
all that info is available online and it took me a total of 2 minutes to do that. Why is it so hard for a reporter to do this and call the superintendent the liar that he is?
Yes, a reshuffle. Nobody promoted or demoted, just new business cards for all of them.
Putting a new face in 009 its not going to stop the shootings and/or homicides. You can put Jesse Jackson and things would still be like the wild wild west. The problem comes from the courts, judges that never really ever punish these criminals. Criminals are not afraid of jail, its too comfortable for them. You have judges like honorable Hooks 26/cal that always finds in favo of the criminal even when all has been done correctly. That what is coming to. Never real justice and criminal know thus, the criminal laughs at the police
Media in bed with the city
First they have to get permission. The truth is a hard sell these days. It must fit the corporate goals while not straying from the political agenda.
One would think one of the biggest news nuggets about the current moves is that a north side district for the first time ever has a black commander. That fact seems to have been lost on every major news outlet here. It's definitely news in Chitown, where Madison st. has been the midwest's version of the Mason-Dixon line with regard to Command staff placement since the CPD came into existence.
Dont be too happy yet in 20. Super COMMANDER MOY will not be gone till January. Trahanas and Jones both go on furlo and her dumped ass will be filling in.
Hey boys and girls in 20 great news ,hear MOY is taking her #1 kissass with her. Guess M.M. cant get his head out of her ass.
02:52am 015 was on chicago ave. before new station was built
I think Sneed should go to pasture, she could not find a scoop if it dropped on her head . All her contacts are retired and now she uses SCC as her informant.

Because there is an increase on the decrease.
James Jones to 020 and NO fricken Kool Aid jokes???? Come on already!!
You mean the great CPD circle jerk of 2012. What shake up? The great shake up consisted of four commanders playing musical chairs. Tackleberry Dave Jarmusz is now in his glory at Mass Transit.
Cmdr. Gorman talked some tough shit in front of that podium yesterday. Do you really think this guy and the cpd is going to stand behind you if you go out there and be the police like he stated..... Or does he have any clue what being the police means. Good luck in federal court coppers.

The Cook County court revolving door has existed forever
That's why I stay a bottom feeder, a blue shirt. Nobody cares about me. I'm going nowhere, which is what I want.
"massive shake up"? Puhleeze. A minor re-shuffling. Of the chairs on the deck of the Titantic. Sneed, you ignorant slut.
I can't wait until 500.
Moral still low! Coppers still see the bullshit selection process for units & promotions. People not being allowed time due because of "man power" and some people are born to hide & work the desk. To think a new DC can fix this and lower murders! Wow talk about smart! All this time I thought whole sale changes starting with the mayor to the aldermen to the command staff at cpd needed change.
The mayor and the superintendent refuse to hire and deploy more sworn, armed officers to the streets and give them new, decent vehicles to patrol with. But it appears that Laurel and Hardy don't care and are going out of their ways to embarrass and cripple the Chicago Police Department in their efforts to "Serve and Protect" the
citizens of Chicago. Finish your shift safely and go home to your loved ones.
That north side district can use a real commander for a change. Black or white---irrelevant.
that boss from 005 coming to 020 is a good one--- he probably doesn't even know where 020 is--- one of the biggest mistakes this department makes is moving people around when they get promoted--- it takes many years for a police officer to become effective working patrol in a district--- you have to learn the streets, gang hot spots, problem houses, good places to eat, etc--- you also need to interact with all the other officers who work there--- good police officers get promoted and shipped off to some place they know nothing about--- all that knowledge that they accumulated in their old district is flushed down the toilet--- how is bringing this guy from 005 up to 020 a good command decision--- he knows nothing about 020 and probably doesn't know anyone who is currently working there....
"One would think one of the biggest news nuggets about the current moves is that a north side district for the first time ever has a black commander. "
Only a racist focuses on race.

And NYC is densely populated. Our city is spread out and requires additional response time.
How much $ does a State Senator make? Apparently not enough, in order for him to work as a "security Guard" so he can carry a gun. Why not just tell the truth, you believe in concealed carry. Isn't that why you were elected in 1988, to make changes to rediculous laws? Gun in carry on, hmmmmmm...
“At the end of the day, if the dog was on a leash and under control, it wouldn’t have happened.”

Amen.
This could be said about so MANY situations we encounter.
1:28am, don't forget NY also has a Port Authority Police, a real Transit police, Housing Police, and Park Police. Not off-duty police officers working their days off to fill in these positions. Then you have the different Federal Agencies working in NY because of terrorism threats. What people do not understand is that CPD is the only department working the city, and when you do the math like you did, even a blind man can see we need more manpower.
Well most of your readers are cops who are in the rooms. Not hard to trump a reporter who is not. Although I still am no fan of the biased media here.

Can I pick the 308 that I get to serve?
My understanding...
SCC readers post information that was later read then posted by Sneed as a 'scoop' that was then later read and reposted by the Tribune as news.
Their theory...
To copy from one person is plagiarism and to copy from many people is research.

Good luck to them!
If your on the 009th district Tac Team it's time for you to leave. Joe Gorman is a good guy but the pressure as we all know will be to stop evertthing and everyboby. Then the Federal Lawsuits will follow claiming civil rights violations, home invasions and fradulent Consents to Search.
If you have been a working police officer you know this to be true. My advice is answer your calls, cover your fellow officers and be aggresive but under control.
McCarthy was asked on Fox News about being the Murder Capital. McCarthy's response was he was not familiar with that term. Devlantes rephrased the question. His response was per 100,000 citizens is the formula and stated Chicago is not. Not a cop but can someone please tell me the truth. It seems like everything he says is total BS. Ready to head to the Burbs had enough.
Everything as always -other than- hiring the couple thousand officers we're short. WTF
WELL SAID, to the first post. It's like Taboo to tell the truth in politics including the top brass of the CPD
To 128 am. Don't forget nyc has the new York/new jersey port authority police serving the city also.
will someone name 5 command staff exempts that were promoted to sgt & lt without political merit help.
Who gives a *hit anymore?
Worked with Joe Gorman when he was a patrolman. he knows EXACTLY what being the police is all about!

Rumor is they're gonna change they 020 unit designator to "Jonestown".
DRINK UP!!
citizen here, it alarms me that this city is destroying the organization meant to protect us, how is it people can post cpdk on facebook and no one arrest them for conspiracy to commit murder? A message and an example needs to be made of at least one poster so this wave of attack on the police is at least silenced. Millions of other haters of cpd will jump on bandwagon. People will get away with what they think they can. I have some police friends I love and this angers me that no one is stopping the propaganda of killing officers. Hope you all stay safe and may Gods angels go with you.
Just another Circle-Jerk....
How is any commander suppose to stop the murders? What does this nitwit superintendent expect them to do when manpower shortages are at a crisis point? This is beyond absurd.
That north side district can use a real commander for a change. Black or white---irrelevant.

Not sure if Jim Jones will be made the commander. You better pray he doesn't. Regardless of race he is the worst "boss" I have ever come across. He keeps getting promoted beyond his abilities but no one minds because they just want to get rid of the guy. When he was made the tact Lt in 011, he took the #1 tac/gang teams (numbers wise) to number 8 in 3 months and then number 12 in 5 months. He tried to micromanage everything. Problem is you can't micromanage what you don't know. He has never been the police, hell he doesn't even know how to talk to the police. He knows nothing about motivating or taking care of the troops. He is the morale killer, and there isn't much of that left anyways. If they do promote this incompetent mush to commander it will just signify we truly are lost as a department.

Perfect! He should fit in with the personnel already assigned there quite well then.
The fucked up thing is the useless media plays right into this bullshit.
There have been talks about "Command Changes" for over a month. It just happened to coincide with a warm, bloody weekend... WOW... I guess that’s news...
"Tonight's lead story; The BIG SHAKE-UP, more at 5:00pm, back to you Jayne” Fuckin’ idiots...

I recall a visit or two to that old station in the days of my ute. That is where I learned it is better to put people in jail than be the one riding in the back seat of a police car. Did wonders for the direction of my life. And now I am collecting a pension after a lifetime of crime fighting. Amazing how some good old fashioned kicks in the ass at the right time can make a huge difference in the life of a young man. Try that now and you would be screwed.

New York State Police has over 1k speical agents in New York, the federal goverment has a park police with local police powers, then the LIRR police, NY State Courts, NY Sheriff's Dept, and Convervation (they enforce smog laws too with trucks and cars) and so on.
They Didnt Graduate from Command and General Staff like Ray Hamilton
Hiring might help a little, but it will change nothing in 005, 007 and 011. Adding a few more po's might get you some time off, seniority and a better furlo, but as far as stopping crime, you are dreaming. Good example, a few days ago an establishment was having a private party and 4 or 5 people were shot. You could have 50,000 police in Chicago and those people still would have been shot
