It's Monday!!!
And you know what that means? A New Strategy was Announced!
- It’s an old idea: The cop walking the beat.
But that classic policing strategy is the latest tactic Chicago Police are adding in their ongoing battle against the city’s spiraling violence.
Supt. Garry McCarthy is confident it will be an important part of the department’s new “strategic saturation” crime-fighting approach. And he showed reporters a photo of some gang graffiti officers found that suggests the gangs agree.
“F--- the foot police,” it read.
“Apparently they’re having some sort of impact on gang members there,” McCarthy told reporters.
Or they just had a spare can of paint and wanted to let everyone know they could spell "police."
The article touts the low homicide totals for February and March without once mentioning the lack of 70 and 80 degree days that permeated the late winter/early spring of 2012. And while we're sure Rahm, Garry, the aldercreatures and brass are more than happy to claim the credit for lower numbers of killings, they better step up and accept the blame if it goes south in June and July.

WE HAVE NO CARS!
lol....
did you see what the phd from loyola said? i was interested in what the intelligencia proclaimed when i was ignorant college student..now i know after 15 years in the chicago ghetto..they don't know shit!!!
Probably cause there are not enough squad cars available!
What a fu@kin' joke this department is becoming. Sending fresh PO's on foot patrol in crime ridden districts. Come on McStupid this ain't New York and try not to make us New York
The real reason the strategy of the week is foot patrol is because we don't have enough cars to give them. Area garages have no pools. District and unit cars are constantly being downed for repairs and no pools are available.
Rahm told Ford he would pay them "later" for the rest of the new cars we were supposed to be getting, but Ford told him to go pound sand. No money, no more new cars.
Voilà! Foot patrol becomes the new crime fighting strategy.
chi breaking news has the same plus the info n how the ppos get the scenic foot routes in bad neighborhoods. Who is this Lurigio guy? mr know-it-all in all kinds of crime tactics and studies. He gets quoted a lot, backing mctool ideas everyday.
Yaaay We're #1 AGAIN!
Survey: Chicago has highest gas prices in US
ABC7Chicago.com-7 hours ago
March 25, 2013 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Will gas prices soar as we head into the busy driving season? One survey says Chicago has the highest ...
-----------------------------------
It's not even summer driving season yet. Prem is $4.75/gal and reg $4.25 here.
Wonder how those Chicago gasoline tax revenue bonds are looking as people park it.
SCC, you misspoke....."if it goes south"?
He wants to use his foot post success to lower all the overtime accrued at VRI. That's what he said at the press conference.
This is a horrible idea. This isn't new York stop pretending and wake up. Stupid B.S. like this is gonna get one of those new guys hurt. Plus it's a breach of contract having them walk around with only p.p.os. This jagoff isn't gonna realize how bad an idea this is until it's too late and something bad happens.
Lets see how many Officers sign up for the VRI when they get their foot posts next month!
Have they issued inflatible cop dolls to go in the squad cars with us? That will stretch available manpower to increase the appearance of omnipresence as envsioned by O. W. Wilson in the 1950's and implemented here in 1961. That ought to fool 'em all right. And keep 'em driving around the same block so they think we are everywhere. The beast won't ever catch on to that one.
And raw recruits on foot patrol in Englewood? That's good. Putting their safety at risk with no field training at all. I wonder how many will simply resign over that one. Sounds sort of like the Hitler Youth in the waning days of WWII. Young kids in uniform on the front lines.
So we are lead to believe that in high crime areas your going to put a person out there? I thought there was a safety issue with this that was discussed already. Will they have a car? If not, back up then? In short, would you really want to be out and about in a area like iowa and karlov at night by yourself? I think i would say Mc525 you first.
What are gang graffiti police? Never heard that one, must be some clouted spot.
Good job Gary.
Hey McCarthy, lead by example, dunp the big black Ford Expedition and you start walking down Madison and Pulaski. You can play the role of the old "irish caricature cop" from the
1930's. You can say hello to all the inhabitants in your irish brogue as you twirl your baton.
These foot patrols are a recipe for disaster.
When a copper gets hit by a stray bullet while walking in the ghetto I will hold Garry McCarthy personally responsible!!!
Sounds to me like the Dept. can't afford cars... Weren't they having issues with Ford?
It's certainly not for a lack of trying. In the last 30 days or so there have been 89 people shot where only 13 died. That's only 15% and a pretty awful shot to kill ratio. If these shooters were just slightly better shots, the murder rate would be much much higher.
Illustrating Chicago's Murders, Homicides, Violence and Idiocy at heyjackass.com
VRI OVERTIME INITIATIVE is the reason for the drop in crime!
It's hard to have foot patrols when you don't have any manpower to cover the foot posts.
maybe those dummies should google the names Severin and Rizzato, see what foot patrol did for them...
Im an instructor at the academy and my recruits are well trained and for whatever is thrown at them!!
I REALLY feel bad for those new guys.
yeah use foot patrol as a way to cover the real problem..city didn't pay the bill for the new cars and we don t have enough cars with over 120k miles to use for regular patrol in district..just like closing to area allowed the city to say all the areas now are properly manned.
This is McCarthy's hybrid version of "OPERATION IMPACT" in the NYPD.
See "OPERATION IMPACT" - NYPD
I cannot think of a more asinine use of resources. NYC has not only Nanny Bloomberg but 34,000 cops. That is two WWII sized Divisions. With that many people you can do foot and vehicle patrol. Chicago is at least 2000 people short and at full strength only about 12000.
New strategy next week.
With the shortage of cars, I guess the foot guy is back. Remember to spin your stick while walking the beat.
I heard Garry is going to invent fire next.
This is not the old time foot patrol. This is an army of occupation model of policing. Short term it may work if the army is large and aggressive. Long term very costly to maintain.
If Rahmmie and McFailure are gonna take the credit for decreased homicide totals the last two months then that means the grunts (US) were working their asses off and rightfully deserve a raise.
I'm sure Rahmmie and McFailure, reasonable guys that they are, will wholeheartedly agree.
Whoever was running the circle jerk of cops standing around 79/Cottage Grove on Friday: good luck. You looked like a middle school football team huddling around each other.
Take your hands off your cuffs. Act like you've seen something.
welcome to the chicago police department all you young guns--- a good copper never gets wet, cold, or hungry--- our new york superstar has decided to deposit you on foot patrol in some of the most undesireable areas in the city--- first of all you need to find a clean shitter somewhere if you feel the urge--- the next problem is finding a joint with semi decent food--- bring extra bullets and cuffs and don't be afraid to ask questions--- good luck and be safe....
Put the VRI officers on foot. They are more then willing to help Rahm and Mctool spread their BS lies and screw our pension over.
Foot Patrol may have worked back in the day when people respected the police, but now forget it, these young inexperienced cops will be sitting ducks to these savages in the GHETTO, wheather they are Black or White cops it doesn't matter, there is lawlessness in these areas, when young guns get all fired up on weed they don't care, Our leaders are out of the FUCKING MINDS thinking thatthis will work, I really want to know just what kind of effective or street wise cop McCarthy was!. when the word gets out there are Foot Patrols I pray to God these Coppers survive, they too will be victims of the cowardless drive bys. And this graffitti on a garage refeering to Fuck the FOOT Police is total bullshit, just staged by someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God help these Recruits in these areas,Dey be in for SHIT LOAD OF SHIT.........
what was the turnout at the town hall meeting yesterday with our fop? how did the discussion go?
assign a few recruits to walk beverly and mt greenwood neighborhoods , areas recruits are assigned are a lost cause
Officers James Severin and Anthony Rizzato died near Chicago and Larabee on July 17, 1970 in the Cabrini-Green housing project. They were on patrol as part of the police department’s “Walk & Talk” program they volunteered for, when shots rang out from a nearby high rise, and they were both killed.----Let's pray this doesn't happen to the new guys forced to be walking targets
Accept blame? Not in their playbook.
Hmmm, we need something like a wheel... Only "rounder"...
Let’s take this circle thing, make some corners here, here and here. That should do the trick!
The reason why we have to resort to foot patrol is because the city won't pay Ford for any new cars. And the cars we have now are on there last leg. There's not enough cars to go around for everyone
Why are people so bothered by P/Os on Foot. They have a Gun,Badge, Vest and a uniform that says Chicago Police. That is what they trained for isn't it.
Lease mini vans and bring back the jump out boys.
The anti-police graffiti is not the thug's way of expressing his being upset with the police doing their job, it's the thug's way of taunting the police because the thug thinks he is winning the war for that particular street. like children who taunt other kids with "nyah nyah."
mcpolitician is even trying to put a spin on anti-police graffiti to show that his tactics are working!!
I guess if the media drinks the kool-aid, like they have been, and no "spokesperson" for street gangs steps forward to contradict mcspinster on his interpretation of the graffiti, why not try it?
it seems to have worked for him so far right?

No, this is not NY, this is Chicago and this tactic will work here just as well as it has in many other major cities. i can see why you are pissed about this, I would not want to walk the beat myself if I had a choice. Sitting in that car and keeping nice and warm and having the ability to take a nap or go for coffee anytime I wanted is a nice thing to have. Cant do that while on foot patrol. Now a rule has to be made and strictly enforced: no one takes their personal car to their post. And, you know why.Studies have been done to show that foot patrol is no more dangerous then patrol in a car. Stop with the scary stories that have not materialized anywhere else. You sound like the gun grabbers with their BS stories of all the bad things that will happen.
as i noted this was brought up a long time ago
they want to put a person out there ( most likely a rookie)
out in a neighborhood where the animals roam with no car, no back up to speak of if it was a "seasoned" officer with them it sort might of kinda work in special situations but late at night by themselves? not safe not smart
* NEW STRATEGY * NEW STRATEGY * NEW STRATEGY *
...a strategy so effective that gangs are protesting it before it even begins.
"Supt. Garry McCarthy...showed reporters a photo of some gang graffiti officers found that suggests the gangs agree.

I liked the "retaliation" on St. Sabina's triggered by the Pfaster Pastor -- Pfather Michael Pfleger and his "anti-violence" efforts. Rememember?

I was at the gas pumps last week, I pulled up to the E-85 pump, at which time, the pump attendant said "officer you're at the wrong pump". I replied, "the gas cap reads E-85 fuel" . The Attendant replied, " E-85 is to expensive, so now you all have to use regular."
This is probably why our cars run like shit! Cheap fucking city.
It's still a bit cold out there, "Fuck the foot police" transalates to we are going to take pot shots at these guy's first chane we get.These are new guy's w/out any street smarts who have been brain washed in the academy that "they will fear you when you walk around their hood w/a uniform and badge/gun on.Tell your families to get a good lawyer for the lawsuit that will be coming.GOD BLESS and watch each others backs.You will be working for a ranking officer ,not really a superior one.
What kind of nonsense was Garry's quote of the day, about being safer walking a beat than driving a squad car and when his squad windshield was shot out, he wanted to crawl UNDER the car? Can anybody from out East verify if this idiot EVER did any actual police work?
You can say hello to all the inhabitants in your irish brogue as you twirl your baton.
3/26/2013 05:25:00 AM
nice.
I think somebody should check McLiar's hands for paint splatter. Word is he was spotted in the dead of night in a ski mask holding a couple of paint cans.
One of these new kids is going to get seriously hurt or killed. I'm afraid for them. Those are the last people you should put on foot posts. They should take people with at least 5 years on--let the kids learn the ropes first. Like feeding lambs to lions.
Stay safe new guys! I'll be praying for you!
"...raw recruits on foot patrol in Englewood? That's good. Putting their safety at risk with no field training at all."

Yes, this is not a good idea. You are up against BAD, EVIL, HIGH-SPEED, HARDHEAD MOTHERF--ERS. Blink and there go your shoes right out from under you and they will have you saying thanks too. Three nutshells flyin around on the back seat of the bus and nothing under any of them, looka here right quick I got yo rock, pieces of drywall in little twists of plastic, and all this is just nursery school. Kill you and forget they even did it. You are an OBJECT, nothing more.
Nothing a normal person knows is of any value in places like this. Takes time to get dialed in.

You are an idiot!
To the person earlier that does not understand what the big deal about foot patrol is...how far do you think the police will be able to follow the bad guys after a drive by shooting?
Oh yeah they might get a plate and vehicle description...if they are lucky.
And while walking a beat, officers can think of the President's daughters, ages 12 and 14, enjoying their Bermuda 'Spring Break.'

Is there training to walk down the street safely, where all your enemies can see you, but you can't see them...while crossing numerous doorways, gangways, alleys, and windows...and parked cars. Foot patrols in residential neighborhoods create sitting duck targets. I can sit in my house with all my guns and smoke a blunt while talking back and forth with my friends in surrounding houses and driving or on foot in the street while we watch everything you do and where you go. Strategically, the rookie has no upperhand. Plus every cop can tell you, they can smell the rookies. There is no real training for that. Watch the video below where two strangers had to jump in and help a cop fighting with a suspect...as people in the crowd cheer the suspect on and try to stop the stangers from helping the cop who was not faring very well in the fight.

Get off the blog Garry!
I Walk my Beat every chance I get,But I get Jobs in other Beats and all the Bull shit shop lifters on Michigan ave.
Full moon tomorrow, guys. Careful out there.
we got some nice rides you borrow from suburbia. The 2002 intrepids are nice.
If this new supe gets one of these kids killed over this nonsense- karma will comeback to haunt him.
I'd like to make a suggestion for a new strategy. Have the police and the bangers get together at Ogden Park at 65th and Racine in Englewood. Let's makes some s'mores and then gather hand-in-hand in a huge circle and sing "Kumbaya".
One of these new kids is going to get seriously hurt or killed. I'm afraid for them. Those are the last people you should put on foot posts. They should take people with at least 5 years on--let the kids learn the ropes first. Like feeding lambs to lions.
Bullshit 5 years on and half these kids will be working inside or have a spot
My partner and I each had a little over 2 years on and we were working a car in the ghetto. These kids wanted to be the police, after the academy 12 weeks with a FTO, then the walking police. They wanted to be the police, let them be the police
It's still a bit cold out there, "Fuck the foot police" transalates to we are going to take pot shots at these guy's first chane we get.These are new guy's w/out any street smarts who have been brain washed in the academy that "they will fear you when you walk around their hood w/a uniform and badge/gun on.Tell your families to get a good lawyer for the lawsuit that will be coming.GOD BLESS and watch each others backs.You will be working for a ranking officer ,not really a superior one.
You are the problem with the CPD Suggesting to get a good lawyer and do what? Sue because they want you to do police work All districts have foot posts so should they sue or maybe sue because they didnt send you to 001, 020 or 016

I dont get your logic. That happened 43 years ago. How many officers died working a beat car since then?

Thanks for sharing your opinion, you moron!
Get out from under McJagballs desk and brush off your knees. If you're such a proponent, get your ass out there!
Only one person had it right. This isn't old school foot patrol. This is a police occupation of certain neighborhoods with large groups of police walking around.
I'm not saying this to be some liberal fuck. Personally I would love it if they did this in Garfield Ridge. But let's call it what it is
Im an instructor at academy and my recruits are prepared for any situation!! I trained them well, they will be just fine
Does this mean a FTO will be walking the beat with his PPO?

What fkg studies? Conducted by whom? You prove to us that more police were murdered by the bad guy while inside their vehicles as opposed to being murdered by the bad guy while on foot?
Whoever the fk you are that wrote that post should be - wait a minute - is that you Garry you prick?

Ask Northside. Perhaps he will check in with a worthwhile opinion. He has personally responded to enough police officer's shot to know what is dangerous and what is bullshit. Or Sgt. Al P. But I doubt Al wastes any time reading a blog.

SHEEEEIT!
*Jackpot Bitch! Gimme yo money!* >POP-POP!<
If a #44 whizzes by fast enough... Can anybody say they actually SAW it?
Been a while... Is that funky-assed muthafuckah still runnin'?
Here's the thing... Garry and Rahm are desperate and ass-out for this newest piece of shit... Errr, *NEW STRATEGY!* they're flinging against the wall in Englewood to somehow actually stick...
No matter how many Policeman they're trying to get hurt.
They're pissed that Policemen are big on self preservation and mitigation of career and financial harm nowadays.
Can't divorce themselves from actually believing Policemen are not only stupid, but wholly expendable.
"So... You guys aren't gonna help us by taking one for the team? Fuck you coppers! We'll INTENTIONALLY endanger YOU to put a positive spin on this fiasco of our making!"
Heh... Once upon a time, we had PLENTY of help in the field.
Nowadays? Not so much... By design...
Any copper(s) who gets down like Patrolmen USED TO in bad "oh fuck we're surrounded" situations will be made examples of.
It's a fucking crying shame Rahm and McCarthy are using these officers for cannon fodder.
It's another sign of the "we're smarter than you Blue Suits" mindset that is ruining the fuck out of this city and department.
Heh... The Chicago Magazine article just pulled back the covers and revealed one grinning skeleton staring at everybody and no one at all...
Try ignore all the rest of them grinnin' muthafuckahs percolating up through the ground in Chicago's back yard.
It's GOOD that people are starting to ask Rahm (and McLostHisMind) hard and pointy questions...
He's gonna get caught one good day without any "family vacation" to run off to...
His Vileness HATES hard and pointy questions... No wiggle room or semantic shit-assery so he tries to slide with a finely minced non-answer of a word salad with a bullshit vinagrette...
The Police are the enemy...
Viva Hate.
How about extruded aircraft aluminum blunt force trauma????
Can't believe they're sending kids barely out of FTO to walk a beat in some of these areas with such little experience.....Good luck Officer's
The outcry from the media and the reverends has always been that more minority cops are needed to relate to minorities. Now is the time to assign all minority cops to walking beats in all minority neighborhoods to better relate to the residents.
New order coming out that det's will now have to walk to interviews and to show photo arrays, as well as look for offenders. These det's will be equipped with special hats with blinking blue lights on top, and will be given whistles that sound like sirens when blown.
Order coming out Friday, watch for it.
"Im an instructor at the academy and my recruits are well trained and for whatever is thrown at them!!"

Why are people so bothered by P/Os on Foot. They have a Gun,Badge, Vest and a uniform that says Chicago Police. That is what they trained for isn't it.

The keepers at the zoo have the shirts with the logos, the shorts and those cool hats...but they still feed the lions from outside the cages.
Old Retired Guy Here.I have to stick in my "two cents worth" on this topic. During the last six years of my CPD career, I was assigned to a foot post. It was "Great", best assignment, I ever had. At the time, I had over 25yrs experience. I was walking a post in a low crime area. Putting a inexperienced PO, on a Foot Post in a high crime area, is a "Suicide Mission". He or She will not have the street experience to properly protect themselves,nor the citizens.
I Pray For Those, Who Are So Uninformed, They Would Do Such A Thing.
Feel safe with new officers on foot patrol . One man cars patrolling our streets and alleys.
rahm still has 3 people assigned to changing street and alley lights,remember how shocked he was when he first found out , he should be an actor .
50 aldermen is 30 to many , let's save tax payers of Chicago some money , use it to hire some police officers .

The Soviets pointed their guns at conscripts and sent them out against the Wehrmacht unarmed...
Not QUITE the same but enough similarity to give the people who care about Policemen a bad case of the yips.
We hate the notion of Policemen getting hurt for the stupid-assed politicasl grand-standing of the desperate.
This shit in Englewood is an unequal fight against high-performance, hardheaded m/fers who abide by no rules and openly tout having no fear of GOD, Man, law or even death...
When McDesperateAndCrazy announced this shit, we winced involuntarily.
"Where are our weapons, Comrade?"
"Lying on the ground in the hands of the dead who went before you... Comrade..."
The answer wasn't blowin' in the wind... You Police-y type people make too much damned sense and it's getting on Rahm & McCarthy's nerves.
Exhibit A:
"The keepers at the zoo have the shirts with the logos, the shorts and those cool hats...but they still feed the lions from outside the cages."

Exhibit B:
95% for the A-... Substitute jackals, hyenas and wild dogs for 10% extra and the A+
Continue policing like you have no friends... It's making 111 North and 3510 South crazier by the day that very carefully measured, bland and flavorless Policing is the rule of the day now.

Glad you cleared that mess up,we are in big trouble.
One of these new kids is going to get seriously hurt or killed. I'm afraid for them. Those are the last people you should put on foot posts. They should take people with at least 5 years on--let the kids learn the ropes first. Like feeding lambs to lions.
Bullshit 5 years on and half these kids will be working inside or have a spot
My partner and I each had a little over 2 years on and we were working a car in the ghetto. These kids wanted to be the police, after the academy 12 weeks with a FTO, then the walking police. They wanted to be the police, let them be the police
Yes a CAR in the ghetto,its time to stop patting yourself on the back now!
My dad was on the job and never talked about it with the kiddies..things back in his day were dramatically different then they are today....coppers' kids on the job are nothing new but there are definitely some that think they know everything by osmosis.....good luck PPOs....u signed up for this job but let's hope the political agenda of our Supernintendo doesn't get you killed!
"It's certainly not for a lack of trying. In the last 30 days or so there have been 89 people shot where only 13 died. That's only 15% and a pretty awful shot to kill ratio. If these shooters were just slightly better shots, the murder rate would be much much higher."
You have to give credit for the low death percentage to the CFD Ambulance crews and the hospital ER Trauma units.
With all the practice they get, they get to be good. Makes Chalkie's task tougher, tho.

Stay safe my fellow po's, you are the m-fucking police, find a restaurant to go to and stop all the crime there, no more.
Your a moron I've been on blocks on the Southside literally pouring with assholes on a hot summer night.If you don't think each block doesn't have three guns somewhere your retarded.Do us all a favor stay behind a desk and have a nice giggle when some recruit gets his ass kicked on one of those blocks your not responding to the 10-1 anyway.Wipe that exempt DNA off your chin and continue pushing paper.

I see some comments hit a nerve with you. Typical do nothing who responds with name calling instead of facts. I would be will to bet some of these paper pushers do more work then you. Worried they are going to take you nice car away from you ? Are you afraid to walk down that block?
Are you afraid to walk down that block?

Your silly read my post again I work "in the shitty Southside" nobody wants my car at all.Go back under that nice warm desk and shit on our recruits once more.I doubt pushing paper is as demanding as wrestling Tyrone and shaniqua after a lovely breakup.Oh and after that fantastic job go ahead and report to corp. council for the lawsuit to follow but yeah your completely right pushing paper is tough.Go get your shine box.

I am willing to bet that the recruits trained you. The instructors at the academy are so dumb that they could not keep a job moping floors; and these are the instructors with masters degrees.
"...Im an instructor in the academy..."
I hope you didn't teach them punctuation.
