You've Got to Be Joking?
This can't be true, can it?
- RET.P/O talked to new hires which were put on foot patrol/midnights in 025.These kids/officers don't know what the hell to do, they are told to run to jobs sometimes 4-5 blocks and are given no FTO. Is this MORON mccarthy out of his mind? I see many lawsuits in the cities future, I realize the FOP can't say much because these guy's/women are on probation leaving them w/ no union protection.This conduct by city hall and police brass will get someone killed if this continues.The warm weather is coming, I can predict after 35+ yrs. that the games will begin and so will the carnage.
Midnight foot patrols? And no FTO's? No one could be that dense, could they?
Anyone from 025 want to confirm or deny this?

I call bullshit, there is a teletype the last class that just graduated on tues went to traffic unit, the entire class for Michigan ave.
They did this on that stupid cop show called NYC 22. It got canceled. Hopefully this is not an omen for these new hires.
025 only has one FTO on midnights and he is NOT walking a footpost.
McLousySpouse and Tutu of Fire don't even have the decency to at least pretend to give a fuck about how they're setting these young officers up to get hurt.
Please... Veteran Officers. Help these kids at all cost.
Rahm wants the blood of Police Officers shed out of sheer vengeance.
Since Coppers are pointing and laughing (as well they should) because Rahm "I Am Smarter & Richer Than You Coppers Will Ever Be" Emanuel, has succeeded in thoroughly outsmarting himself trying to wreck CPD out of politics and spite.
He doesn't give a fuck about Coppers or the few remaining outnumbered tax-payers.
As far as The Wildly Fertile Catered To Constituency?
They exist as a weapon to be wielded against The Police and the tax-payers...
I am on the 3rd watch so I can't say for certain but this sounds like b.s. I am confident I would have heard p.o 's talking about it. Plus the midnight watch commander is pretty serious about officer safety and doesn't even allow 99 units on her watch except for the traffic car.
I heard about the recruits being assigned to foot beats with no FTO Unreal
lets face there some beats even a seasoned cop wouldn't go on by them selves during day lat alone at night.forget the lawsuits, somebody going to get killed. besides the the fact that a seasoned cop go with a new one goes with out saying.
what happened to the "gentleman's agreement" that no one works alone at night?
This is total B.S. Signed 025 white shirt.
025, you say? I've worked in 025, prior to hearing the rumors. 025 is an island.
Should a copper treat a fellow copper the way 025 treats their own..?
No man is an island...
Give the Officers what they need. New Hires or Oldsters, give them what they need. Isn't anybody sane anymore??
And where in the world did they get those ugly, beat-up Orange Color Dept. of Transportation trucks from? The ones that are filling the pot-holes and doing a mighty poor job of it, too. Somebody might have made some silly money on that deal....they make the streets look nasty.
The City is looking mighty messy these days....guess they want it that way. Keeps slapping the population.
Technically they are off cycles so no FTP is needed... But yes, dangerous and stupid is an understatement
There is no way this is true. I hope to god it is not true. On foot alone, no FTO. Oh my god this is a time bomb waiting to explode. We all know how a PPO is, we were all PPOs. But to be alone, NOT GOOD.
Wow if this is true then it is by far the worst decision the bosses have done in my 20 years on the job. God help us all.
RUN?
I ain't runnin' NO WHERE unless my paycheck is blowing down the street.
Run to jobs? hahahahaha
That's all bs, just vri people.

Same thing going on in 006th dist. 79th cottage
Pretty sure someone got this all turned around-even Mc Nutty isnt putting bodies on midnight's when nothings going on. If they are on foot and they will be it will be 1800-0300 give or take, in addition no one is leaving their two by two block area.
FOP can't say much because these guy's/women are on probation leaving them w/ no union protection..
Yea like them being on probation really makes a difference? FOP is useless. I won't even bother calling them.
That can't be true. Not in this environment.
Don't forget old timer these officers are on probation for a year and a half. All are off their cycles so if they don't know how to stay out of trouble by now. Oh well.

I said, have you looked at city hall and it's idiots who run our city?
Stay safe out there, summer is coming.
Not an officer.
Anyone know when they are opening up the mff/goon squad again?
Run to jobs? Seriously? Someone ought to tell these kids to find some holes. Unless they were implanted with GPS in the academy--show your face to the sgt. a couple of times and have something nearby, even if you have to figure out a way to get your own car to wherever you are.
Run to jobs my ass. Yes, run to jobs with 20 lbs. of equipment on to show up winded and out of sorts to deal with God knows what?
Welcome to the shittiest dept. on earth.
I see the new kids in 011 and they look shell-shocked.
How many do you think will quit?
New unit coming soon:
Special Enforcement Jogging Patrol.
If this is true, I hope the media picks up on it.
That's what they do in New Yawk. Recruits and their FTO's are on foot in certain areas a lot of the time. New York is dense and in some areas hard to move around on in a car. Chicago is not.
God I only hope and pray this is just an attempt at levity! If not wow! I have nothing more to say!
If I worked in a District that allowed this to happen, my partner and I would ride with those new kids all night long. I hope someone there does.
If one of these new kids gets hurt, I hope the Superintendent is treated like he isn't even there.
The 12-5 class that just graduated this week was sent directly to the traffic unit, zero field training! The recruits complain that they don't do enough scenario based training and you have to remind them that it's the on-the-job training that is important. The academy provides the basic knowledge and the knuckle heads we deal with provide the truth.
I'm calling BS on this one.
100% not true, and I worrk midnights in 025. Who comes up with this crap? The midnight Lt. would never allow it to happen
The new guys are not in 025, however there is 24 PPO'x that just got off their cycles on foot post in 006. They work alone from 1800-0300. This has been going on for a month now of so.
Worked VRI last Sunday, and there were groups of recruits walking around 79th and Cottage Grove in the 006th District until about 1am.

Bwahahahaha! Now that's some funny shit!
I can confirm 60 plus PPOs on Michigan Ave walking in groups of 4 with zero supervision and no FTOs. They graduated literally 3 days ago and you're throwing them out here? There is no STOP PLAY in real life this is stupid and a safety issue
We have the worst fto's in 025.
I heard that 52 recruits are detailed to the Mag Mile.
Rumors. Rumors. Rumors.
make some sgts. how about picking real police for your political picks instead of jerk-offs. take a cue from the tollway dept. that sleeper is typical of political appointees. time for police to start video-taping nitwit bosses and sending the tapes to a concerned congressman or senator.
Work midnights in 025, total bs. There are no ppo's alone working a foot post.
Not true. Stupid rumor.
The retired po should stay off the blog. Total bs.
So far we have 2 PPO's on midnights and they are both placed with experienced officers (1 an FTO) We don't have enough bodies to man all the cars let alone foot posts.
-025 midnights
If true,this would be easy for media to do story
Fuck em. They are the POLICE right. Threw us in a rat's nest 34 yrs ago and we didn't complain. Learned the job fast or quit. Suck it up kids and make daddy proud.
I know they are on foot in 006, don't know about 025. One of our guys on the watch saw them while working VRI down there, on damn near every corner getting fked with. Only a matter of time b4 all hell breaks loose.
Beat 2521F and all units, man with a gun and shots fired, 5900 W. Grand Ave.!
2521F; 10-99 I'm 5 block's away.
(3 minutes)
All units disregard per 2520, not bona-fide!
2521F; 10-99 I'm 4 blocks and 1,000 feet away walking slowly!
First of all then do have union representation thats why they oay dues.but what gets them is that all ppo's are at will emoyees
Baptism by fire. Best way to learn anything.
FYI this is a true IDIOT>>>>>>>>>>>>

34 years ago there were REAL cops doing THE JOB. The streets were afraid of cops. TODAY your on youtube and loosing everything, its hands-off policing. What an out-of -touch idiot. I respect old-timers but this is such a stupid comment. Old timers I worked with watched my back, I was never cocky just humble and these old timers stuck up for you and helped on the big incidents.
Go back to that bar stool you crawled out of mush.
My neighbor just graduated on Tuesday, he is assigned to 15 for training but is working in Traffic right now, seems like these folks will be used as smoke and mirrors all summer, filling in at Cubs, Sox, Michigan Ave. Etc, will never know how to do police work, many years back the entire class back in 1973 was sent to O'Hare to beef it up, many quit when they found out they were going to be stuck out there for awhile.
I'm not sure if this is true in 025, however, it is 100% TRUE on the South side. After the cycle of 90 days with an FTO, or supposed equivalent, the new kids were sent to foot post in 006, working at 1800. 1 Sgt. and I believe 8 or 10 PPO'S. See how much this piece of Shit city cares for the Police!
The retired po should stay off the blog. Total bs.

The ones that didnt want to do the job and wanted the commanders office, CAPS, desk, etc

so, did you toss your 4 tear old into the deep end of the pool?
Lt Platt would NEVER allow this to happen no matter who told her to... I would love to see someone fuck with this woman!!! LMFAO... She has balls bigger than A/5...Go ahead I dare you to fuck with her and tell her these kids have to walk foot posts...just let me get out of the way.
They've had PPO's on foot in 006 for over a month now. 79th & Cottage Grove, I'm seriously worried for them. The watches try to watch out for them. Seriously a dumb idea.
Run, Rahm? Fuck you. I only run to Starbucks when it's closing time.
I was at the Compstat meeting and this was being discussed. The south side Deputy was up there giving his stats and was asked by the Supt if he wanted to change the way things were being done and he said no. That was in reference to the PPO's on the corners also. The Supt said that he didnt want the PPO's getting lazy and riding around in the back seat of cars either. He did show concern stating the PPO's should be rotated off their foot posts every six months so they dont get "burned out"..... If the Deputy Chief wont speak up, this bs will continue because all is well...
Who the fuck is the commander of 006??
Oh by the way they have recruits at cubs games just standing on corners doing absolutely nothing and learning nothing. Well at least they are safe.
hey ret. p.o. confirm ur b.s. before u open ur big mouth!!!
Heard that a class that graduated a few months ago was sent to foot patrol after doing a few periods in the districts. 2 PPO's walking foot post on the south side.
Das boooolshit !!!
