Under the Gun

Crime is down.

We hear it constantly. But the media keeps throwing up sites that count and track homicides. Now the Tribune has put together a bunch of sites rolled into one called "Chicago: Under the Gun." Homicide maps, shooting maps, crime by neighborhood, an extensive collection of crime scene photos and videos.

But remember, crime is down. And evidently, good for business as far as the media is concerned.

Since they are now attacking women on the Midway Orange line stop word is gonna spread to the tourist.

The money that the tourist bring in is the only thing the politicians understand.

Crime is not down. No one I talk to feels any safer but the mayor forces me to go along with it.

Truth is we have less coppers on the street to make arrests and people are moving out of chicago. Thats why the mayor says crime is down. Its all lies and spin.

Yes we have the murder number same as 1965 but back then this city had 700,000 more people living here.

As you probably know this Department is lead by incompetents. None more clear than those in the '019 th District'. The axe fell, again, on the Tact teams.... Wha, no biggie. Tact teams get axed all the time, city wide....but it was the manner in which it was done. 019 is lead by a coward trying to save his job, who diced the teams based on "performance" numbers. In the same fashion the axe fell last time, all the cowardice "leaders" are no where to be found. The Tact Lt, who barks big, is freighted... and No where to be found. Probably rolling in his brand new Tact car while his 'men' drive whipped pieces of shit. Seriously, what leadership training do these clowns recieve?? Last I learned, your men come first.... Yourself last. Well, the butchering is over. cmdr? No where to be found... So, the 019 district 'command' staff can come out from hiding (maybe Sunday) But hey what do I know? Other than my district is run by a stalker, twice demoted (or soon to be). Ill be on some BS midnight entertainment team, not producing....count on it. While those with Greek name plates 'work' fictional beats with a designator that says ~ 'office of the 019 district cmdr' lead by a Sgt (greek) who recieved more than 200 hrs OT in one period. No joke, they are all cowards.... And the cmdr is a stuttering one. Manpower? Your manpower is there... You are not qualified to run a lemonade stand let alone a police district. Hate to say it but maybe the XO, and his mustache, should run the show. He only has one pet, and not 50. He also has the ability to speak without blinking, face rubbing, and stuttering.

Well Shit!

Why actually try to do anything about it?

This Police Department has been intentionally destroyed as an effective LAW ENFORCEMENT entity as far as manpower, leadership and political empowerment to FORCEFULLY Police the wholly lawless portions of this city and put up a strong deterrent presence where the law abiding tax-payers are...

This is that Rahm Emanuel bullshit of monetizing and managing a crisis instead of trying to fix or at least mitigate it.

Anyone know why the Sups' Monday morning meeting & Compstat were cancelled this week, without any kind of explanation? We usually hear something...Tracy was out of town, someone is sick, etc. But nothing but crickets this time around. In addition, Dean " The Dream' Andrews was a "no show" at an important strategy meeting in 019 on Wednesday.

As a beat officer it's obvious that putting more officers in beat cars is the way to go. Many if not all these districts have way too many people on mission teams. Seriously! Take for example 012 district. We have auto mission teams, burglary teams, robbery teams. All said and done it's the beat car that comes in with more activity than all those teams put together. This is where every district loses manpower. As far as foot patrol this is the same problem. 012 district has over 10 foot patrol positions. Seriously. This is another mismanagement of man power. The desk has 4 people on 3rd watch. That's an extra body we can use on the street. There's suppose to be only 3 people assigned to the desk anyway. This post is intended to see how many districts are mismanaging the manpower on each watch. Districts have tact teams. This is why they are put there.

Wow, if only you knew how much of a loser you came off with your stupid post.
First off, if 019 is soooo bad, then leave! There's 22 other districts to go to.
Secondly, to insult a guy b/c of his "stutter, and frequent blinking" really shows what kind of person you are.
By your post, it shows that the cmdr actually made the perfect choice in dumping your pathetic ass.

STOP, ABSOLUTELY STOP COMPARING HOMICIDE FIGURES TODAY WITH HOMICIDE FIGURES IN THE 60'S,70'S OR 80'S! Please remember there were hundreds of thousands more people back then, and TRAUMA MEDICAL CARE HAS IMPROVED TO UNDREAMED OF LEVELS! People shot who died in the past would have survived with today's medical care. So if people are dying from gunshot wounds today, when there are less people living in the City and Medical Care is far superior to that of the past; We Have A Major Problem! And anyone comparing these stats is spinning and misleading the public.

The sad part is some of those kids would not have caught a bullet if the C.P.D. was back at previous full strengh before Rahm made cuts to the budget and eliminated about 10 percent of the police force with the stroke of a pen.

Now he can say that the dept is at or near full strengh.

Why not budget for 5000 Police Officers so he can say he is at more than double full strengh.

Statistic Bending at it's best.

Fact: when those job eliminations occured the cuts eliminated mostly manpower on the street.

Some of the chosen ones who have cushy jobs got cut like the usual annual media circus dictates, but then they turn up somewhere else under a different job title.

Put all the press release together for the last 10 years involving taking people out of desk jobs and "putting them on the street." Now add those figures together. We put what, 3,000, 5,000, 7,000 coppers on the street from desk duty?

Give me a break.

With a more than 10% reduction in manpower, how many exempt members of the dept have been reduced? Over 10% less exempts? I would not be suprised if there are More exempt members to command a much smaller dept.

And the bullets keep flying.....

Do you think the commander should call you at home to tell you your off the team, NO THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS. Now as for as activity some of you should be dumped, you guys lead the city in drinkers and pisser arrests.

To the bitter poster about 019 tact. Remember kid EVERYBODY will be dumped at some point on this job, it's just the way it's done that makes it different. As far as the commander goes, I think he has the best interest of his officers at heart but I also think he is not the kind of a leader for a district. Yes it is true that the Greek last named officers fet taken care of, but nits happens everywhere, not saying it's fair but not unique to 019. The commander has been dumped before when he was commander of TRU but rose again, however I think they should have given him the 020 district, not a place like 019/023. Yes, the Greek Sgt. on days did make a shit load of overtime, but he is putting in all kinds of hours and various start times, he is trying to get merit Lt. after all, good luck but it's blood money in my opinion. The tact Lt. is a good man, a true believer, yes he loves to voice his opinion, but he can back it up with many police involved shootings, many doa's. As far as the XO he should not be in charge of a district let alone a watch since he has no management skills , hell he can't even manage his family. The problem in 019 is that the officers who do the least yet kiss ass and have a sponsor get taken care of the most while the officers that do the most get taken care of the least, and it's this blatant in your face way that the bosses do this reward system that promote negative feelings here. This place could be and should be the best place in the city but for the above reasons and many more it just is not so.

Blinking and stuttering is all you have to complain about? Really? Say it to his face, you spineless wimp. The commander helped out many officers in the past. Or talk to the Sgt who earned legitimate overtime. How about they dump your wimp ass and assign you across the city? Remember when they disbanded TRU and moved every officer to the far south side causing officers to travel 90 minutes one way to work? This department does got care. You are lucky to have a decent commander. How many south side officers who live north would give anything to change places with you? Go change your diaper and STFU.

To the bitter poster about 019 tact. Remember kid EVERYBODY will be dumped at some point on this job, it's just the way it's done that makes it different. As far as the commander goes, I think he has the best interest of his officers at heart but I also think he is not the kind of a leader for a district. Yes it is true that the Greek last named officers fet taken care of, but nits happens everywhere, not saying it's fair but not unique to 019. The commander has been dumped before when he was commander of TRU but rose again, however I think they should have given him the 020 district, not a place like 019/023. Yes, the Greek Sgt. on days did make a shit load of overtime, but he is putting in all kinds of hours and various start times, he is trying to get merit Lt. after all, good luck but it's blood money in my opinion. The tact Lt. is a good man, a true believer, yes he loves to voice his opinion, but he can back it up with many police involved shootings, many doa's. As far as the XO he should not be in charge of a district let alone a watch since he has no management skills , hell he can't even manage his family. The problem in 019 is that the officers who do the least yet kiss ass and have a sponsor get taken care of the most while the officers that do the most get taken care of the least, and it's this blatant in your face way that the bosses do this reward system that promote negative feelings here. This place could be and should be the best place in the city but for the above reasons and many more it just is not so.

I agree with a lot of what you say. 019 could be great, but today it's the worst run place in it's history. It's very obvious about the "greek clout clan" the entire district jokes about it. Hopefully Mccarthy will look at the greek merit names on his desk and see the BS that it is and toss them into the garbage where they belong.

As a beat officer it's obvious that putting more officers in beat cars is the way to go. Many if not all these districts have way too many people on mission teams. Seriously! Take for example 012 district. We have auto mission teams, burglary teams, robbery teams. All said and done it's the beat car that comes in with more activity than all those teams put together. This is where every district loses manpower. As far as foot patrol this is the same problem. 012 district has over 10 foot patrol positions. Seriously. This is another mismanagement of man power. The desk has 4 people on 3rd watch. That's an extra body we can use on the street. There's suppose to be only 3 people assigned to the desk anyway. This post is intended to see how many districts are mismanaging the manpower on each watch. Districts have tact teams. This is why they are put there.

Agreed!!! 012 Robbery and Burg Teams have not done shit in years.

Gov. Bruce Rauner on Thursday July 16th, issued an executive order — a direct response to the unraveling of an Illinois Department of Transportation patronage hiring scandal — which his office says will get rid of a layer of government bureaucracy for non-political hire.

Gov. Bruce Rauner Executive order is issued on Celia Meza birthday.

Happy Birthday tutes!!!!
