Rumor Mill Churning
True or false?
- Off topic.... Gang enforcement is finished. They will have the option to become part of a new citywide tru/msf like unit or be sent back to a district. Gmac is going to sell this as not another citywide unit but as an already citywide unit who has a changed mission with higher visibility(uniform) and a more focused and proactive approach to certain areas in the city. This way gmac can stick to his original story of more bodies in patrol and no more ultra aggressive units don't need to be made... It's the "same unit just a changed look and new mission to be more effective with the cities needs". All units will be consolidated to start at homan square in what is now the gang enforcement office. Kevin ryan(former commander of tru will still be the boss. Allegedly this was his plan and McCarthy liked it. Huge objections from Leo Schmitz since gang enforcement was his baby with JFed. One thing that wasn't brought up though was when its going to happed. I can't see them doing mid summer so it's either going to be soon or after summer. Fact or fiction ??? Usually I dont believe this type of stuff but I heard it from a pretty straight guy who works in admin in organized crime so it sounds very legit to me
We haven't seen the out-and-out blanket denials that usually accompany a rumor like this and we can definitely see something like this happening before the schools let out - anything to put a dent in the $1 million-per-week that Rahm and Garry are burning through. At some point, someone is going to shut off the spigot if federal money isn't hijacked.

Vri is being cut down next month. To be filled in by PPOs. Since the money is almost gone.
With Stevie G as the Chief of Specil Functions (and one if the founding members of TRU) I would bet the house that he has already put the bug in gmac's ear about creating another citywide unit like TRU/MSF under his oversight.
He thinks because he's Stevie G everyone that was dumped will come back. Anyone that goes back deserves what they get.

Not suprised...lots of people hiding there.
It's still in discussion. But true. Not for sure thing yet
About time. These guys work plain clothes and like douche bags tell all they are in gang intel. A bunch of do nothings working plain clothes. I'm a worker and not a hater just speaking the truth. Of course, some guys on GEIU are good officers but for most part a bunch of idiots.douche bag central.
Who's going to be the new chief of dics?

Allow me to throw some numbers out there.
6-8, 3-5 and 5-10.
What's this you ask?
It's 6-8 coppers, all with 3-5 years on the job, all on the paper for some pimpy 5-10 bag weed arrest.
Clogging up a tact office in a district that not one of them is assigned to as if they've been there 20 years. Checking their email and telling war stories they never experienced. Bragging to anyone within earshot how they "hit the tip" and where they "posted-up to see where dude had the jabs laid-out"... all while same "dude" is sitting mere feet away, cuffed to the wall, taking notes on the Poleecess' strategy and enjoying the Newport he talked the officers into letting him smoke.
This type of petty shit is what passes these days as acceptable activity from a "unit". Gangs used to be the Real Deal... now it's some D-Bags grabbing some mutt with a few bags and the entire team taking 3 hours to "process the arrest".
Don't even get me started on the pups assigned to the Area Saturation Teams. Worse yet.
Guys and gals that are too thick to realize that they're being used... and the ones almost smart enough to see the charade for what it actually is still manage to convince themselves that it's OK to be a fucking pawn. Manning a beat car in some half-shitty district on a less-than-desirable watch until they actually pay their dues is beneath a lot of these self-absorbed veterans sans hash-marked sleeve.
"Ultra aggressive units", you say?
Hardly. Try ultra impressionable, ultra entitled and ultra naïve.
Send them all back to the districts where they may actually learn something pertinent. Where their presence may actually allow more people to use elective time off. Where they'll hopefully get the dose of humility so many of them desperately need.
Patrol has always been the backbone of this department. It's about time the backbone is reinforced, especially given our actual manpower numbers.
They should put Leo there so that nobody in 7 or 8 has to hear that rah rah self promoting assclown on the radio anymore...way to sit on dope spots with your lights on and stop the drug sales for 5 minutes. Maybe one day he will realize that its Englewood and it will never change, and nobody cares.
Once again who cares pension and healthcare all that matter
Makes sense. In this day and age visibility is the best crime deterrent, not bringing in some punk with a dime bag of weed so you can go home early. Maybe they will really wise up and cut down on the bodies wasting space on gang and tac and put them in uniform. This department has hired way too many idiots that get on those teams by phone calls and don't understand how to play the game.
new ppos will be the new high visibility "tru" why would you get rid of GANG enforcement in Chicago the GANG capital of the world. does that make sense? you'd look like a fool as a mayor and a supe.
you know what they will get rid of after summer?? McJersacluster.
Ryan keeps landing on his feet over, and over, and over again! Is it because his cousin is a commander in nypd? Certainly that can't be the case, he is such a great leader. He never forgets where he came from.
I can't believe they lasted this long. It was a ghost unit part time job. They were called the "contact card police." No purpose what so ever.
same guys same clout same location different name big deal. Hopefully the'll keep the gang units in the Dist doing a great job on intel and arrests. will see
VRI UPDATE
Starting 16 June according to Lt. Kane of VRI South:
The number of POs will be cut back to about 320 @ day from 430.
It turns out PPOs who complete their 12 week FTO training will be sent out in vans to cover the "violence zones".
Little by little VRI will be cut back. Grab the cash now while you can. Put it ALL in deferred comp.
Gang enforcement unit???
Send them back to the beat. The unit does one bagger arrest.
And intel please when was the last time you seen a gang chart with names!
But ask them they think they are investigators.
This unit served no purpose anyway.
Just in. Tactical Barbie has been told return to the job or be terminated. Lol!!! Good job SCC and readers. I guess Ladner is throwing a fit cause she made some type of side deal with Alpha she dog. Now that's girl power.
Besides being one of the most articulate pieces ever posted on SCC, 01:07:00 is dead on.
As a district supervisor, I have to say that GEU never did shit for us.
Kevin Ryan=Kiss of death for any unit he touches. He only understands box style policing. Leo had GEU/GED focused.
Bye bye VRI. Never knew ya
These dumbfucks will do as they're told. Oh, the glory of being a part of an "elite" unit. They sold their souls long ago.
They should put Leo there so that nobody in 7 or 8 has to hear that rah rah self promoting assclown on the radio anymore...way to sit on dope spots with your lights on and stop the drug sales for 5 minutes. Maybe one day he will realize that its Englewood and it will never change, and nobody cares.
5/22/2013 01:15:00 AM
At least he's trying. What are you doing?
Who cares!!! This department needs officers to answer calls and respond to emergencies, not units that pick and choose what they will respond to, if they respond at all. Send them back to a beat car where they may actually be of some use. Of course, as long as the politicians and their contributors control the department, nothing will change and there will always be somewhere to hide the "special people". What a joke!
Someone Rahm likes must own a uniform store.
Kevin Ryan is actually working trying to make a huge positive impact on this City's crime element. Gangs should be left alone and allowed to do their job. Both my old partners work their and both say the same thing which is unheard of for police. Vise is who should be looked into. Commander Angaron is a tool and knows even less about Vice functions. He is more arrogant than Garry and knows about as much as old Commander Lille Crump Hale, but talks daily about what he can do. He does not deal with us as staff members and has no clue as to what is going on here and we have even less of a clue what the overall picture is or our goals are. He is too busy cursing the powers at be because he could not get the sergeant he wanted (be careful JR, he is pissed at you) than trying to help guide our unit to be the least bit effective. Chief Roti, can you at least ask the people you already have if we would like to try a different division within our division than constantly going outside to get people that have no clue, have the wrong perception about what we do, are starting at the bottom via our learning curve and being guided by idiots like Angaron and O'Grady select.
This is a whole unit of good ole boys and clicks. I am not trying to fit into this circus but I don't mind laughing at the clowns.
... And when they send the officers from citywide gangs back to their respective Districts they will bring back district gang teams, what a novel idea. The wheels on the bus go round and round...

Hahahahahahaha thanks for the chuckle.sounds like some of the po's aka the backwards hat police on the 763 team
Good maybe they will work a full tour like the police assigned to a beat car .
Homan square still has full duty officers working inside , they do little and come late , leave early .
How's that swiping working out at homan square ?
We gotta feed the cuffs cousin
Doesn't really make sense to change the name when all the dept has to do is us gang enforcement in uniform.
Ryan keeps landing on his feet over, and over, and over again! Is it because his cousin is a commander in nypd? Certainly that can't be the case, he is such a great leader. He never forgets where he came from.

Sarcasm?????
Uniforms and unmarked piece of shit squad cars. Cool now I can be like pacman from the movie colors. I'm gonna take all my uniform shirts in and get the sleeves tapered to make my arms look big. Lol

5/22/2013 02:44:00 AM
If you think sitting in some shit neighborhood with one squad with its Emergency lights on scares or intimidates these fuckin Thugs, you are far too stupid to be on the job, and should consider another career as a Social Worker. These savages are laughin at you and crackin joke about you while you sit there with your thumb up your ass. Crime Deterrent ? LMFAO ... You must be a Merit-hack boss-puppet.
Lol glad they are getting rid of ALL the useless gang units.............Especially the elite let me do nothining school gang officers. This clowns go to the school and do a circle of peace. WHAT A WASTE OF MANPOWER AND USELESS ACTIVITY, this thugs have a different agenda and don't care about no peace. Thats all
Bullshit!!
when half the teams work, and half the teams do nothing with no consequence, the working teams start slowing down. eventually a malaise takes hold, and you have an entire unit with unlimited potential doing nothing

It already started in VRI north... I worked VRI last night and ended up in 015. We had a some ppo's walking in groups of 4 in a box type area. There was also a single sgt driving a van who asked us if we could keep an eye on the ppo's because they only had 2 cycles on the street before this. Oh, Gulliferd was also accompanying some of the ppo's on a walk. No offense but they looked greener than green.

Really? With all the "Hard work" you have put in all by yourself it's a wonder there is any crime left in the city. I wonder what it is that you do all day with all the crime gone because of you. What a way to support your fellow officers, jagoff.
Well is running dry fast kids
Hey, 5/22/2013 01:07:00 AM you're a jack ass. Just like someone who's never done shit clumping all these coppers together into one bunch. I'm sure GEU and the Sat teams have their share of do nothing's and they also have their share of people who actually work. But hey just talk shit about everybody. God forbid some of these people actually do what they do because of the hours or maybe good sgt's that actually take care of the working guys. You know that's hard to find. And don't kid yourself both units and all of patrol are doing the same thing. Nobody gives a shit about arrests. It's all about anovs and contact cards. Get your head out of your ass and stop hating. For fucks sake. It's always fucking negative
Patrol has always been the backbone of this department. It's about time the backbone is reinforced, especially given our actual manpower numbers.
5/22/2013 01:07:00 AM
Patrol is hardly the backbone of this department. Riding around answer calls and handing out pieces of paper hardly qualifies as being a backbone... I don't know why that nonsense saying keeps getting thrown around like that. It's damn silly.
Yes, I am a hairgel, dumbass, douche bag and all the hurk-a-dur comments posted on this blog. I don't care the above needs to be said.
As for gangs? It's about time. Pointless unit that should have been axed long ago.

If he gets it, you can scrap your file cabinets for cash, folks. He thinks they clutter up the look of the floor, so you can keep your files in the trunk of your car, for all he cares.
I always laugh at the "one bagger arrest" comments. Like there are these awesome cops out there that only make great pinches. Stop bagging on these kids they're only doing their job. Besides anytime you get to put a shithead in jail is a good day.
false. This is 100 percent false in fact.
don't think this one is true at all. GMAC was praising gang enforcement at the past two compstat meetings. If this happens then you sure had me fooled. I don't think they are going anywhere considering the unit just got 25 people in the past 3 months and are slated to get another 15-20 over the summer. Going to put this one as false.
Once again who cares pension and healthcare all that matter
--------------------------------
AMEN!!
FALSE. Apparently a too cool Gang Intel guy or a prior Gang Enforcement Dumpee has gotten to the blog. Way too many haters in this department. Also, way too many guys who think they are cooler/better than other people and that there unit is superior. Please, are you really that much of a cop hard on? Or is your life that boring that you have to start sh*t. Gang Enforcement isnt going anywhere because its the last citywide unit that the bosses can use and abuse at their will and they know this. Yawwwwnnnnn, such haters... such haters.
Allow me to throw some numbers out there.

Bingo. Right on target. You hit it dead nuts. And these dickwads will be beating a path to volunteer for whatever new "specialized" / "elite" unit the bosses dream up next.
Patrol has always been the backbone of this department. It's about time the backbone is reinforced, especially given our actual manpower numbers.
And that rant just reeks of a guy/gal who is still bitter(crying) because of the disbanding of SOS/TRU/MSF. I can smell that a mile away. Go dry your eyes and try to get along with the other boys and girls on the department geek.
per a LT in personnel this one is busted. However, VRI is getting cut down a bit after the end of july.

5/22/2013 12:26:00 PM
That is the whole problem with this department. When I got on I had great bosses who took care of the people who went out and took care of them (workers). Nowadays there is no benefit at all to working hard and as a result I have seen so many great coppers get their spirits broke by the poor leadership in this department.

okay, so when the citizen calls 911, and requests service, who actually responds?.....patrol? or, gangs, narcotics, a gun team, the abandon buildings unit, special activities, unit secretaries?.....wake up
Better hope those VRI checks don't bounce next month.

They all looked no different than we looked when we came on the job.
It's not true
okay.....a question....how much of an impact does gang enforcement make (arrest/conviction/incarceration)?...what is their "efficiency"?.....do they all put in a full day, every day?....(just asking?).....just some questions

Soooo your still kickin in doors and hard charging? Yeah, your smart. If a bag of weed comes along ok ill take it. Enjoy patrol. It's just another cb number that allows for a decent sgt, good hours a flexibility.. Yeah, what dumbasses for keepin there spot. But hey, good luck tryin to get those days off and answering those jobs... But they are the stupid ones. It's simple these days... Make an arrest, any arrest and keep your spot. Sounds decent to me...
Yes, I am a hairgel, dumbass, douche bag and all the hurk-a-dur comments posted on this blog. I don't care the above needs to be said.
Why yes, yes you are. Original poster is correct.....patrol is the backbone of the department. Always has been, always will be. Patrol handles all those silly things like missing kids, and suicides ad naseum that you kids with phone calls are too fucking scared to handle. I'd take a '3 year wonder' from Fillmore that is pushing a beat car over some pompous ass that thinks he's the police because he does enforcement on buy busts.
What really needs to be said is that you're an idiot, plain and simple. You know not of what you speak. Asshat.
Years ago Gangs was the supplement for the Dics. When a murder occured the gang guys work in tandem with the dics and the bad guy went to jail 80% of the time. Incapable bosses brought down the gang units.
And the reason for this non-citywide unit is because there are enough police and crime is down and there is no mayhem. çorrect?

The guy did just fine when he ran the family cleaners on Diversey. He went to the D-Unit as a Sgt never having been a detective. The best thing I can say is Maria Maher was worse.
When V.R.I. money runs out why don't Rahm and Barry pay us in L.I.N.K. Cards?
I can tell you what else is churning out of the 011 Dist 2nd watch w/c office but I have to go and flush.
Cant wait until the party for him leaving where he is not invited.. just the blue shirts and sgts will be celebrating.
(I'm your buddy, I'm one of the good guys) Yeah right. biggest J/O on the job!!
Kevin Ryan lost his clout when the Superintendent of Parks Tim Mitchell got canned...for city credit card abuse.
TRU/MSF people still on here crying because others are still in a unit that didnt get dumped?? Or is it the SOS criminals. They have no reason to cry, they did it to themselves... well, so did tru and msf. 20 parking tickets and two impounds at checkoff when they want heads doesnt help your cause.. either do DUIs and dopw of a group of 65 year old hypes in 011.
Gang teams please stop using the Dist TACT Teams computers..
all G.E.D. is come in with 5 contact cards.
Commander Ryan and his 6 box one arrest for his career. Yes, he knows a lot about gangs..lol
Leo is the epitome of the merit promotion system. He is right up there with the retired Ernie Brown, Lucy Moy and the like.

Because sorry to say but the majoritiy in geu don't know their ass from a hole in the ground as far as gangs go. They come into the districts acting like Gods tying up the radio chasing the guy that has nothing to do with the real players in the gang then yes, they do go in and tie up the entire lock up processing their arrest/facebook account! So spare me the but they're needed b.s. because they are not.

No, my thumb is on my phone as i scroll through the internet laughing at making such easy money. I dont care if gangbangers laugh behind my back because most of them will end up dead or in jail. I do get a laugh out of responses like yours though. You must be nervous you will have to pull your tight jeans off and take your stupid baseball cap ioff and go back to patrol. your the one that is a bosses bitch bringing in nonsense activity. I bet the waitresses at all the bars know how many contact cards you write lol

this is a great fuckin post. same holds true to most tact teams citywide.
OT: FTO Facts
Over 200 signed up for the test.
176 took the test.
118 were asked to take the training.
Over 90 said they would.
56 showed up and completed the training.
All 56 were given their first choices of assignment.
None were put on 1st Watch unless they asked for it.
All Districts are now training districts.
FTO’s were allowed to bid for them.
FTO’s are given preference for additional training i.e. Carbine training and Law Enforcement Medical and Rescue Training (LEMART)
has anyone noticed that the cars that homeland security now drives says in BIG letters POLICE.. as a matter of fact in MUCH SMALLER letters it says FEDERAL PROTECTION SERVICE as an after thought it seems they put HOMELAND SECURITY on the fenders.. WHEN did our POLICE get replaced by a NATIONAL POLICE FORCE?? won't need local Police after OBAMA gets done with the help of RAHM those that pledge allegiance to the left will just be transferred to the NATIONAL POLICE FORCE..

So Patrol sucks and Gangs sucks. Who does that leave to be "the real police?" You and your north side tact team? Don't make me fucking laugh. Dong.
It's about time. There are way too many jeans and T shirt police on this job. This has to be by far the most unprofessional and sloppy looking department in the nation. Talk about an illegitimate department.
It's long overdue for tact/gang to put a uniform on.
Oh great more arrogant officers coming to the districts that will expect to be taken care of. WTF!!!!
okay.....a question....how much of an impact does gang enforcement make (arrest/conviction/incarceration)?...what is their "efficiency"?.....do they all put in a full day, every day?....(just asking?).....just some questions

What is anyone's conviction rate assballs? This is Cook County. Stop hating because you can't get on a team. If you were the working police you would know how this county's criminal justice system really works. Go answer your next baby momma domestic.

Bragging to anyone within earshot how they "hit the tip" and where they "posted-up to see where dude had the jabs laid-out"... all while same "dude" is sitting mere feet away, cuffed to the wall, taking notes on the Poleecess' strategy and enjoying the Newport he talked the officers into letting him smoke.
This type of petty shit is what passes these days as acceptable activity from a "unit". Gangs used to be the Real Deal... now it's some D-Bags grabbing some mutt with a few bags and the entire team taking 3 hours to "process the arrest".

The problem is that you are all talk on a website. Don't act as if you were never excited on this job and wanted to rock and roll. Too many of us are quick to condemn the young guys for wanting to advance. I had a great FTO years ago BK who always stressed to never pass am opportunity to learn something new or go to a team. We are quick to bash the new guys but slow to lead.

Kevin Ryan=Kiss of death for any unit he touches. He only understands box style policing. Leo had GEU/GED focused.

Is that why we have had a problem with gang violence all these years?
To all of you bitching about the idiots who will volunteer for any unit--thank them because if nobody volunteered then they'd be assigning people by reverse seniority or detail.
Thanks for the post SCC. Kevin Ryan will be on a war path because he is on the blog. He is a very insecure individual. Friends of mine in GEU have said he is killing morale. Deputy Chief Leo knew how to take care of his people. GEU has been told that they can't do any warrants or follow ups on the weekends! So if you get a hot tip, get it Monday-Thursday. Too bad, I would usually see GEU people around the district or hear them on the air. Lets see how much effort they are going to put forth now.

One thing I learned from the military the hard way was
To stay in your lane. You are correct Patrol is the back bone of the Dpt.Saturation only gets credit for box 1 and 2 arrest so no the entire team doesn't come in for one arrest. When you see the entire team it's cause we cleared a block. Yes it may not be a glorious felony arrest like you get on a daily basis. I'm not bitter about this job and I enjoy fucking with gang bangers and shit heads. So office STFU and stay in your lane.

Stay off the blog Kevin!!!!
Gang teams please stop using the Dist TACT Teams computers..
I am sorry I thought the computers belonged to the City of Chicago Police Department. Don't they?

go use the computers in the caps office then if that is the case. if you want to use the tact office then bid to the district and put in a to-from to work tact. I don't come to your office and use your computer. its called etiquette

Wow.. Talk about a guy with ego... Who the fu*k are you? You're someone special because you work in the elite tac office? Please... Your shirt is just as blue as mine. Go use the caps office? Are caps people less of coppers than you hard guy? I don't work tac or caps but you think your something special. Guess what pud, when gangs makes an arrest they don't have processing rooms at their unit. Per their orders all arrests are to go to the district of the arrest. So enough with your secret squirrel tac office crap. Get time on the job and learn to play nice with others and stop thinking you and your tac office are off limits because it might interfere with the nightly tac circle jerk. God, way too many tuff guy hard ons who think they are entitled on this job.

don't think this one is true at all. GMAC was praising gang enforcement at the past two compstat meetings. If this happens then you sure had me fooled. I don't think they are going anywhere considering the unit just got 25 people in the past 3 months and are slated to get another 15-20 over the summer. Going to put this one as false.

They're preparing for a mass dumping.
GED uses tact computers because (1) I usually never bash another copper and not going to start now but seriously were all the police who gives a fuck who's using what computer. Process the prisoner and get the fuck back on the street. Wow we're all supposed to be brothers and sisters in blue pretty fuckn sad. No one is better than any other copper on this job. Dog hair gel whatever get the fuck over it. You don't like this department go work on another one. Kevin Ryan isn't hat bad and GED is not miserable. Most of us work and for those that don't I don't really care what they do I know what I do.
Love you all

Etiquette? Sorry I was brought up to act differently towards guests. And by the way come by any time to use computers in gangs. Fuck head!!

********
So we're good enough to take your transports, sit on assholes in the hospital for you, come save your ass when you call for help, assist you on foot chases, assist in traffic stops, but not good enough to use your computer? FUCK OFF ASSHOLE!!
GEU don't hate the player hate the game. I do say you are a bunch a tools.
Chief of Dics -
Roy or
Salemme
Salemme would just be the same as Byrne, nice guy, personable but not much in the way of a leader.
I'm a hair gel tact guy and I rather enjoy when the gang guys come in our office and use tact computers. I think they are all very funny guys and they help make my tour of duty go a lot faster!!
007 tact guy.
P.O. Perez you da man!!!
Well said brother
Wow really the choice of returning to their original districts unlike what happened to tru and msf. What about you are in a unit and being sent were manpower is needed.
how about returning all the previous prisoners of war to their old districts and replacing them.
All the area Sat teams will be part of this too. Supervision under one roof.

Not too long ago everyone from GED shared those Tac offices with the Tac teams, before gang teams were pulled out of the districts.
elite tact men work 6 hours a day or less , that's with a 2 hour breakfast or lunch
You got that right and breakfast was fuckn great.
When YOU pay for the computers speak otherwise stfu
thats etiquette
Tact guys think they are special. You are not!
