Move the CTA Crime Around
- The five-month reconstruction of the CTA Red Line promises to redirect a tidal wave of riders from the city’s No. 1 line for station crime to its No. 2 one.
In fact, three of the four South Side Red Line stops that will feed passengers by free shuttle into the Green Line during the massive track rebuilding project were among the top 10 in station crime last year.
- Come mid-May, passengers at the four southernmost Red Line stops will be offered free shuttle buses to the Green Line’s Garfield station. Riders at other affected stops can take existing bus routes with discounted fares and more frequent runs.
[...] Some wonder whether the Green Line is due for an onslaught of redirected Red Line crime — especially at the Garfield/55th Street station. Will free shuttles and free train rides attract those with crime on their minds?
The short answer is "yes."
By a strange coincidence, the long answer is "yes," too.
Like we said, it's a slow news day.

Let's see how they deal with a recruit with 2 days on the job telling her FTO with 20+ years how to handle a call...
What a sad commentary on the 20-somethings coming onto this department. The entitlement, know-it-all generation. It's only going to get worse; you can see it on the streets: a slow denigration of American society.
Time for the white shirts to step up in 006; don't bend to the generation that thinks they are entitled. Entitled to a star and a gun? No, I think not. A recruit with zero time on the job. Wow.
Get rid of her. Too hard? Retread. Retrain. Whatever. Give her a healthy dose of humble. When I came on I kept my mouth shut, tried to learn, and trust me, had some weird FTOs and of course, "acting FTOs".
In summary, stay the hell away from the FTO test.

slow news day my ass. go over to 018 where 8 officers are named in a federal lawsuit for filling out contact cards. this new case is pesented by your ACLU.
Experiment indeed... I'm really looking forward to this. We all know that the Crime Line is the main feeder ramp into downtown for South Side Honor Students. It's also the main conduit into the North Side neighborhoods for all those early morning robberies around Fullerton, Diversey and Belmot.
The differences in crime stats will likely be way outside any sort of statistical noise area. The we can all watch and laugh at the excuses that are thrown about.

Just letting you know, just because you have "time" on the job doesn't make you an all around genius. Our job is not that difficult. But a lot of times people like you act like it is brain surgery. Sometimes a person with 20 years on the job doing cross word puzzles can be wrong just like someone who has three days on the job. Now go back and brag to everyone how you have so many years on the job.

Funny you should mention that. We have some privates in the Army here in Afghanistan who feel the same way. 1 year in the army and they should be able to tell an E7 how things should be run.
They don't think they should have to follow orders that aren't "fair" Everything is about THEM and thier morale.
Sad thing is, that line of thinking has infected at least some of the senior leadership as well, as they have tended to mollycoddle these soldiers, especially the females.
21 years in the military, and I have never been so disgusted with the way things are going.
As stated in the slum-times
A politician stated they rode the cta
and "agitated" people on there
when have u ever seen one on there?
and if they were half the people riding with were security.
They try at night by themselves and take in the wonderful creatures that inhabit there
More Judge Jeannie letting our great mayor have it, got to love her.

The CTA is going to put a whole bunch of fresh unarmed victims for the savages to feast on. And Madigan wants those riders unarmed to protect his voters.

And you need a white shirt to handle the recruit for what reason??? Maybe the 20 year vet should grow some balls and deal with the recruit himself.

Ok dick head, you want to explain to me how it's the "white shirts" fault that this recruit 2 days out of the academy is giving a 20 year vet a problem?? How in the world does that fall on the "white shirts?"
You are just a wheezily little spineless prick that want to blame the "white shirts" when anything at all goes wrong. Guess what FNG, when we had a problem recruit... we dealt with him/her. We didn't need to run like a little whiney kid to the "white shirt" every time we had a recruit that thought they were a hot shot. There are definitely ways to deal with this recruit on the "blue shirt" level. But, you are too much of a spineless bitch to take care of anything yourself.
2 more points:
1) maybe it's possible the 20 year vet didn't know something or was doing something the wrong way and the new recruit fresh out of the academy with all the newest laws and procedures in her head did it the right way?
2) what does this say about the 20 year vet that is getting run over by a brand new recruit? To me you just threw him under the bus b/c right away i think that person must not be a strong leader/ policeman if he can't control or lead a brand new recruit.
Who is committing these crimes? Why are they committing these crimes?
The real crime is that gas jumped to 4.48 a gallon by my house. How the fuck did this shit jump and no one is watching it.
Rich getting richer.
Northsiders would love to make the reconstruction permanent. Let's all observe the reduction in northside crime while this project is underway and confirm our intuition about where crime originates from.
We're bracing for the influx of passengers coming over to Metra's Rock Island line. 35th St. is gonna be a real live mess. Regular commuters, Sox fans and folks comin' over since the Red Line will be out of service. I'm a Metra P.O. and we simply just don't have the manpower!!! This promises to be a challenge of epic proportion.

I remember days when a recruit got out of line and a guy with time on took the complaint to the recruit's face. The next generation learned to avoid all that scary conflict and they took their complaint to an anonymous blog.
Boy, that generation was really a bunch of handups. They must have about 10 years on by now.
just think what will happen when they pass a concealed carry law but don't allows CC on the trains and buses. It will be like an all you can eat buffet.
The lack of easy access to the downtown area on the red line will make for an interesting study of crime statistics once the work begins. I expect crime will drop in a big way in the loop once the project starts, as the predators won't have their usual mode of transportation to the downtown area where their preferred victims are. I really hope someone will be keeping track of the stats.
Okay let use some of the Common Sense rules here. Rahm , Garry repeat after me..........We are going to work on the GANG Violence problem . We are going to work on the GANG violence problem. We have a GANG violence problem....See first step to fixing the problem is to admit you have one. You have a GANG problem not a gun problem.

There is one white shirt (Sgt) in 006 who is a tool. Probable that he wrote above o/t comment. He knows who he is, we all do. He only brow beats new officers because he knows anyone with 2 plus years wouldnt put up with his bs.

I'm doubt too much SCC readership overlaps with fans of NPR "This American Life," but I highly recommend checking out their two-part episode documenting a turbulent several months at Harper High School in Englewood.
Ho-ly shit. On one hand it makes you sad to think these kids never had a shot thanks to shitty parenting (family involvement is barely mentioned) and poor role models at school (the CPS "educators" can hardly speak a sentence of functional English). On the more predictable other hand, it makes you outraged to see how the thugs' behavior is accepted and accommodated far more than it's discouraged or punished. Make no mistake: nearly every administrative decision is guided by what action the gangbanger shitheads take or might decide to take. There can't possibly be a free moment to maintain a semblance of classroom instruction at this place but, really, why bother? The upperclass students they interview are barely coherent and clearly ill-prepared for even the most menial jobs or college (Malcolm X and Harold Washington excepted, of course). Despite this, they’re all praised and thanked profusely for semi-accomplishing the most basic tasks.
It’s far from uplifting, but it gives the most cynical among us some confidence in proclaiming what should have been obvious to everyone for decades: there is NO hope for these areas without a major political and community housecleaning.

Had a little girl in 019 that gets a bid spot through an old timer. The old timer is a wagon guy so he'd want nothing to do w/that creepy desk. This was done to keep those w/seniority off the desk and the real C/O of 019(MBS)in charge of the watch. The little girl has max 5 years on the job and was overheard saying that she should have a different furlough pick cuz she works the desk w/MBS. They want days, summer furloughs, off the street entirely, and many other entitled benefits. Eli is getting jackhammered at the SS meetings cuz his X/O(we all know the douche)is screwing him using MBS to put the wrong people on the worst beat. This beat is a constant topic of discussion for Eli during C-stat. I have almost 15 years on and U realize U don't know a lot or rather U could know a lot more. These peeps that have yet to receive their 5 year raise have big mouths and don't want to work the street. Law Enforcement is done on the street, not watching movies on the desk.
Not relevant to this discussion, per se, but it appears that the Cook County Sheriff will be taking over the old 13th District Station on Wood

SCC.... Ya know I have lived in this era of do more with less way to long now. Now explain to me how a beat Cop is supposed to do contact cards on a PDT that has minimal or NO cell tower connections most of the time? Or how a Beat Cop can finish a report in a timely manner when they cant get their PDT to connect. You do the report on scene then have to relocate back to the station because the PDT won't connect. A report that should only take a matter of minutes takes an hour. DUMB!!! And when the PDT finally connects finally does... It takes up to 5 minutes for it to switch screens. DUMB!!
Nothing this department does sets a Police Officer up to be successfull. I mean they toss a MILLION DOLLARS at a bunch of pimp reverends and they cant even keep the STATION COMPUTERS RUNNING.
Crappy Dell computers running windows XP and a host of other departmental stuff that eats up those outdated computers power rediculously. I mean how does anybody expect an old computer to run new technology on 512 MB of RAM? Its takes up to 5 minutes for the damn thing to boot up. Yet a MILLION DOLLARS is tossed at a bunch a PIMP REVERENDS. Here's a hint... Try installing 4 gigs a ram in those outdated computers. XP will only use 3.25 Gigs a ram but it will make the station computers 5 times faster. All this city wants is Parkers, Movers, & Contact cards. Well for Pete's sake why not at least give us the tools to deliver????
I honestly cringe when I have to make anarrest because the station which has the heat on HELL... also has a bunch of computers that are basically useless. I was 10 times faster on paper. Just my 2 cents.
Retired and worked the shit for over 30 yrs and my buddies and I always backed each other up and had millions of laughs. Was never nothing that fuckin serious we couldn't handle. New breed out there now worried about everything. CTA Red Line doing repairs? OMG! Will be riots all over. When they reconstructed the Dan Ryan a few years back it was the same shit about how every other driver was gonna be jacked. Worry about your future pension kids which probably will only be a fraction of what you think it will be, get your head outta your ass and handle the shit that comes up. Lord glad I worked with the REAL POLICE. TASERS? Never had them. If we had to fist fight with a fool under arrest so be it. No fuckin IOD report. Suck it up.
Tell the recruit to go fuck himself/herself, kick them out of the car and let them take a bus or walk back to the station and cry to the W/C or whatever the fuck they are called. Lil bitch would be blackballed for whole career. Thats how we handled that bullshit pal. Fuck gettin a merit sgt involved. He would get a number on you. Or any BS Sgt they all scared. HOLY SHIT. No wonder this city is fucked up. Look what the academy has spawned in the last 15 yrs.
Rehire retired for desk duties at half the pay!And put those pampered dollies on the street and let's get busy!

Now go back and brag to everyone how you have so many years on the job.

Ooohhh, good one. I think I'll try to come up with a zinging comeback while I'm on my 7B furlough.

Not relevant to this discussion, per se, but it appears that the Cook County Sheriff will be taking over the old 13th District Station on Wood

The fucktard alderman claims this keeps his promise of a law enforcement presence. Yeah. Those "servers" know a lot about being the police.
Woooooo!
THIS SHIT is going to be fucking WILD!
In our mind's eye, we see ABLA, Rockwell, Horner and Cabrini...
On steel wheels and rails.
Every fucking day.
The boiling cauldron of shit is about to have a burn-through in spectacular fashion...
And as usual, The Police will be blamed for it.
That lying little twerp Moreno had nothing to do with CCSO taking over 013's old building. Find me one news article or press release where it says he was working on it.
The Sheriff's Office approached CPD about taking over the building when it was decided to close it.
Don't ever believe an alderman.
If the law bans CCW on the CTA, will buses and the "L" become "BIG BOX stores" for armed criminals?
see the creatures in their natural habitat the main reason why cta doesn't want firearms on the stuff is
Tiny and The Revrun's will lose quite a lot of "community activists" come 6-9 2013 and they know it

Hearing rumors of a lot of complaining about the white shirts in 006...
Let's see how they deal with a recruit with 2 days on the job telling her FTO with 20+ years how to handle a call...
What a sad commentary on the 20-somethings coming onto this department. The entitlement, know-it-all generation. It's only going to get worse; you can see it on the streets: a slow denigration of American society.
Time for the white shirts to step up in 006; don't bend to the generation that thinks they are entitled. Entitled to a star and a gun? No, I think not. A recruit with zero time on the job. Wow.
Get rid of her. Too hard? Retread. Retrain. Whatever. Give her a healthy dose of humble. When I came on I kept my mouth shut, tried to learn, and trust me, had some weird FTOs and of course, "acting FTOs".
In summary, stay the hell away from the FTO test.

It is so obvious that you have little time on the job and this is coming from someone else that does. You're right,there were a few times my FTO did something I didn't respect or understand. A good friend of mine with 20 years on gave me great advice: shut up. I'm not there to evaluate their training skills. I shut up and my how time flew. You can't learn even the small tidbits when you're busy talking about what you think. Respect the vets and stay in your lane..stop making us look bad.
Funny you should mention that. We have some privates in the Army here in Afghanistan who feel the same way. 1 year in the army and they should be able to tell an E7 how things should be run.
They don't think they should have to follow orders that aren't "fair" Everything is about THEM and thier morale.
Sad thing is, that line of thinking has infected at least some of the senior leadership as well, as they have tended to mollycoddle these soldiers, especially the females.
21 years in the military, and I have never been so disgusted with the way things are going.

I've been in 11 years and how I wish you were wrong...I wish
Hey to the retired guy who doesn't want to be retired, come back as a crossing guard if you want another city job.Thank you for your 20 yrs of service and good night.
Thank goodness the CTA is fighting to keep guns off of trains and busses. It's been working so well, let's keep doing it. Fucking idiots.

Truer words were never spoken. I know some po's that came on the job knowing nothing and 20 years later they still no nothing and the opposite is also true. Some recruits, months out of the academy know more than the FTO they are being trained by
