VRI Cutbacks
All good things come to an end - or at least get cut back in anticipation of cooler weather and manpower relief.
Eligibility to work VRI is being cut back to a total of 4 days per month and zero consecutive days off. In other words, once per set of days off. We're assuming that this will apply to furlough time, too.
The notice (AdMin Fax #209772) also says if you signed up for September, you have to resubmit your requests before 21 August to be placed on the VRI work list.
Carry on - open post for the moment.

True but SCC. Some guys worked 70 days in a row, can you say burn out? This was needed because pigs get fat hogs go to slaughter! Lets spread it around!
I LOVE it! Now you goofs who haven't had a day off in close to a year can reunite with the family you haven't seen since X-Mas. Department figured out they get more bang for their buck with the less senior P/O's who will actually put on more than 1/3 of a mile onto the odometer. Tired of hearing how "I'm so tired" cause I've worked every single day since the ice age and won't do anything during my normal shift. Make way for the hair gels! I'm driving!
Somebody WITH clout WITHOUT time on the job must have whined
Yea ok VRI ends for us common folk but continues down in the 001 & 018 district only for those officers.????LLLLL

Does this mean some should arrive donning mock knee pads?
Oh, shit!!!
Whatya mean only four days of VRI from now on?!?! That means only guys with decent amounts of time on the job - more time than me - are gonna be getting days. Days that I shoulda got!
But...but I just bought a new car and took out a HELOC to redo the kitchen for the wife. I need a minimum of 8 days a month to meet my budget! I even planned my 10B furlough segment around VRI so I could work 20 straight days of VRI!

The wheels have fallen off the gravy train, folks. You were played like the fiddles we said you'd be to meet the latest agenda of a city and administration that couldn't care less about you.
Bragging about how little you do and how much you make an hour for doing it played the biggest part in their decision to pare down the days allowed to work. Rahm especially took exception to it being broadcast on a blog both the public and policymakers visit regularly. This is straight from a source this/close to the Tiny Dancer.** Yes, being our own worst enemy has bit us in the ass. Again.
Hopefully you all spent your "windfalls" wisely, but knowing the nature of the beast, it's unlikely. I hope all the time away from family, friends and loved ones and beating up your body and mind were worth the cash.
Now it's time to get back to bitching about the union not doing anything about our contract and retroactive pay, right?
** Wait til you see what he's got in the pipeline for us next. Hint: it involves guys and gals making all this tall cash but not paying their water bills.
What would happen if you decided to not come to work over 80% of the time? Would you get a pay raise? Well, this alderman decided that council committee meetings did not require his attendance. But, I guess voting for in the mayor's favored positions 93% of the time (including the closing/reconsolidation/"efficient" reallocation that is the 019/023 merger), does not hurt.
Stay safe and keep up the good work.

Off Topic: But has anyone noticed the past couple of months the lower bonds set by the bond court judges at 26th St. An Armed Habitual & UUW-Felon/Parole charge was set at $100K the other day. 2 years ago it was usually around $250K. Both individuals had very similar backgrounds. UUW-Felon & Possession of 15+ Grams of Heroin was set at $25K, the guy had the usual(enormous) rap sheet as well.
Praise the vri, the amount of credit cards paid off, the child support paid, the new construction on houses, catholic tuition, it was the best. The only rule "stay in the box" eating at ricobennies, love that buffaloe sandwich, that ghetto place at 63 and damen. Good times
I was working VRI this evening at 61st & Racine... Lt Kane said that on furlo only, you could work up to four consecutive days for the month, but no more... In addition he claims he was informed that we could not work CTA for instance back to back with VRI You have to have one day off, unless you were to work the movie detail as your paid by the production Co. and not cpd
Get ready for da reverunds to be hoopin and hollerin over this cutback. They will scream rascism.
Uh oh the VRI train is hitting the brakes and slowing down.
The money is needed for more charter schools.
No more sleeping in the District parking lot after VRI anymore.
JJ Jr Get to keep his Pension and Benefits Keep Push your Squad on Mids Crime Does Pay
Sorry to see a lot of people lose $ but happy to see some healthier officers.
I'm sure that was the departments reasoning. And Merit is all legit, we are here because of WMD,
Fuck VRI?

This is true. Rahmula absolutely despises us. I'm a neighbor of one of the clowns on his security detail and he's mentioned a few times how he's overheard Rahm laughing about "wait til you see the tears flowing when them babies start hitting that clock in and out". He mentioned as early as last month that I should expect VRI days to drop off cuz Rahm doesn't like to be punked out espec on the blog and vowed to show us all who's boss. Rahm is a bully plain and simple. The water bill thing is 100 pct true as I know someone who has been called in and is looking at immediate suspension time for an unpaid water bill at a property she just sold. The FOP attorney said she was on of 5 people he's represented for unpaid water bills. No doubt this will hit the papers sometime soon, prob next time we hear about our contract and they want to smear us some more. WAit til Officer "X" is on the cover of the ScumTimes....."this officer made over 120K last year working an OT initiative but hasn't paid a $1,800 overdue water bill in 2 years". You know it's coming. Batten down the hatches.
They heard, big Al was retiring, so what's the use anymore!
Cut it back? Did we hire enough officers already? Back to answering more useless jobs and little to no back up. For what its worth, id like to thank those who always drove around the corner to check out our stops. Also to those who made excellent arrests and handed them over with a smile. Thank you.
Now go and spend some time with your families. What's that? You don't have one? Make one with all that money you made.
You can't take it with you and if you keep working so many hours,you won't be around to enjoy it. Smell the roses people. Your career will be spent in shit.
Hahahahahahha... No more 12 days a month for the inside do nothing's and the do nothing "dudes" who be braggin bout all dat money on VRI and they sleep all night... These do nothing's are the reason VRI is getting killed. No return on the money spent. Do nothing's sleeping and watching DVDs not moving all night and bragging about it. U don't have to be stopping people all night but how about driving in your box at least. Writing Parker's, answering a few jobs, getting some contact cards and justify you existence which would then keep VRI alive... See, you killed it by doing nothing but made a bunch of money... Now, by doing nothing you can't keep getting that money it will all be gone soon. Once again, old TRRs and do nothing's destroy a good thing. You can say its the perks of having time on the job but you consistently screw things up for everyone when it comes to your laziness.
Time for a Sgt's class.
I see a lot of haters replying. Obviously someone with not time on the job. Well kid, pay your dues. BTW I do just 4 days days anyways so im good, and kid or hair gel you ain't driving your gonna just sit there and shut the f*** up. Wait! you definitely ain't got shit coming now especially with the cut backs. So stop your whining and stop hating.
What about sergeants?

My Sentiments Exactly! You will drive if I say you Drive! If you don't have enough time to get O.T. Sorry, we were All there Once! What's Next... Reduce how many days we can take Furlo because the "New Guy" can't get a half decent Furlo pick?
And I bet Many who Bitch about people working ALL their Days Off including their furlos if given that opportunity probably would "Not" take advantage of it anyway.. The ones who Bitch the Most are the Same Ones who "Like there Time Off" and Refuse to work Special. Tell the Truth! Your either Too Lazy, or your Spouse Yells and Screams that they don't want you working O.T.! So just put a Fuck'n Lid on it and go to the Credit Union to take out another Loan for kids Tuition and keep your Mouth Shut! Meanwhile My Credit Cards and my kids Tuition is paid Up!

Well, SOMEBODY isn't telling the whole truth here, because when you transfer property title, the water bill MUST be paid first and the documents must be presented before you can close on the sale. No release from the Water Dept, no title transfer.
How an I gonna pay my bills?
Loose lips sunk this ship. Big money for doing absolutely nothing ! Then getting drunk, getting on this blog and bragging about fucking off on the watch! Blame your self entitled ignorant self, "crime fighter".
Bring on the the swiping out. Respond to in progress calls until they make you come in and fill out your OT slip every day. Let's see if Emmanuel is stupid enough to see this through. He's done after this term anyway. Any body with a brain knows that Rich Daley will pick the next Mayor and it sure won't be the man/child Rahman. Ha ha ha ha ha....

I doubt it will even register as a blip on the radar when he starts collecting a pension in twenty years or so.
Right now, the issue is his 'disability' payment, based on his claim to be bipolar, even though he won't allow anyone to access his medical records.
He's going to be pulling in close to six grand a month for being 'disabled'. They should jail him again for THAT scam, as well.
Vri is all bout cutting crime and stopping dealth. If all we do is drive around and stop crime from occurring then the numbers truly come down. Vri is working so if you really think they want activity then your wrong. No RD numbers then no crime is reported. The drop in crime is what they are reporting.
Didn't screw it up for myself. I'll still get my four days and you are still junior to me...in every aspect.

Oh no? Wait till the announcement sept 1st. The sept sign up for VRI for october will be the last one and VRI will be done. Oh and the "junior" comment.... Wow! Your awesome... You think you have some sort of power or control over me because you gave "time on the job"... Read that again, it's a job dildo. Nobody cares about your "time". Apparently, your time on the job and 12 days of VRI is the only thing going for you in life... Sad. Truly is. So you will always be a dildo to me... In every aspect.. Fkn geek.
/////////////////////////////////
Whether everyone who worked VRI wrote 20 Contact cards etc, etc per person, per shift if you didn't think for one min. that this was not going to "Dry Up" or at the very least "Slow Down" then your Not Very Bright... Everything the Dept/City does is a knee jerk reaction. How long did you think the City was going to spend more than a million a week on O.T.? If it paid for itself somehow maybe... Do you really think that the shitheads are going to pay for those Parkers, ANOV's and Movers that you wrote while working VRI? Wake up... We had a Good Run! Be glad your getting 4 days for now...
I do think the shitheads pay parkers when their cars are booted. You can lock a guy up for a night he does not give a fuck, start messing with dudes ride and he gives a fuck.
Once again, it is newbies vs oldies. It's been that way since I was a newbie. things never change and that's the way it is.
Seniority is everything in this place, the only thing that can't be messed with.
Don't be a hater, either the newbies or the oldies.
It's for reasons like this I started my own business. I have zero, and I do mean zero reliance of this job. I could lose this job today and would actually make more money from my side business. Just off my side biz I made over $80K last year and I will break $100K this year plus my CPD job of $80K. I am sure most won't believe my post but I will retire with 20-21 years on and do it before 50 years old.
I once got suspended for a month and took two weeks of that time off and went to Costa Rica where my second (PAID FOR) house is at. During that month I made about the same amount of money as if I had been working BUT I had two weeks off on the beach and no SGT asking me for shit.
My advice to all: Don't rely on VRI or court guys and gals for OT. Start your own business. Do something. It's really not that hard to do. Just be perseverant if you do it. I sometimes am so overloaded with work that I am changing my work clothes into my CPD uniform while I am driving because I am so busy and I keep getting told this is a bad economy, LMFAO, ROTFL.
Don't rely on this job for shit. I now look forward to any suspensions so I can have time off and make more money. Fuck IAD, fuck IPRA and fuck GMC with your contact card bullshit (since I am on a rant). You know how many contact cards I do GMC? Yes buddy you guessed it. Zero. I write parkers just because I want to NOT because of a CPD agenda of 5 contact cards, 5 parkers, 3 arrest, 3 movers, now stand on your head, now hold your breath, now count to 20. WTF? So glad I don't have to do that routine.

I've never had to work VRI. I've been fortunate enough to not need to work my days off in order to pay off my bills. My spouse has never yelled at me for working overtime. I don't even have a side job. I feel sorry for all the guys that don't know how to manage their money and have to resort to working 2 months straight just to make ends meet.
Finally I can get some OT again. Old timers came out the wood work!

You sound like one smart guy. Glad its so easy for you. Only thing why stay in the city and on the CPD if you are making all this money with your business As smart as you are you could make more on your business than on the CPD so why stay on

How can you claim a disability with no medical records? Somethings not right here. So any po can go on disability with no medical records to substantiate the claim. One incident of IOD and claim disability and get the 75%

The department would be better off without slugs like you.
Hopefully, if my family ever calls 911 you won't be the piece of garbage that shows up.
I suffer from ghettocontactoramatoidatoma. I thank those that are ending vri. It was brought on by the drivers seat of an old crown vic. The seat was shaped like a 350 lb ass. In fact, when I sat in it I couldn't look over the steering wheel. I tore the seat off of a tvb just so I can see. I then had to hit a mechanic shop to borrow tools to adjust the seat back. The area was closed so I hit the auto zone on king drive. Bought a special can of sum crap that fills a flat tire cause the spare was missing. You know the flammable stuff. End of the night the tire blew up and I called shots fired at police. We figured out the problem. There wasn't any oil in the car and the front tire got really hot when the engine caught fire . I then lit my cigar and counted how many days I'm gonna get on my next furlough.

Son you have it backwards. The "old" guys being lambasted for not doing anything are the ones that know that it is only a JOB. That's why we know how to handle it by doing nothing more than required.
Wether one is driving or sitting still in the box doesn't matter, being IN the box is what matters.
Don't worry, someday you too will get summer furloughs and any watch or biddable spot you want.
First, they told us months ago that VRI would be cut back in September...Second, it had nothing to do with lack of activity. I have always brought in some type of activity (Contact Cards, Parkers, Movers) and so have just about everyone else I have seen. Plus, we were told for a year that this was not about activity but about visibility and lack of shootings in the box. In that sense VRI has been a success. Also, how much activity can you get in a 1 by 2 block box..people were contact carding the same bust out all night..If nothing was going on in your box what are you supposed to do, make shit up...I never watched movies and I drove around all night...I did my job which is what my supervisors told me....HIGH VISIBILITY AND STAY IN THE BOX WITH NO SHOOTINGS.
It is so so sad that coppers want to work and make all that overtime but when they go back to work for thier regular tours the first thing out of thier mouth is how tired they are,and I really don't want to do anything. Why not live within your means and stop being greedy. Nobady told you to buy that Harley, New SUV and your wife thinks that she is some high society woman charging everything. Now pay the price !!!!

To all you vri haters....... Suck it
Well at least we wont have any "in-house Dollies" with 8 years on grabbing a squad for a few hours of phoney contact cards, cell phones while driving, shopping and Lunch.
Now it will be back to only shopping and Lunch.

Yeah, unfortunately, having a lot of time on, also equates(in most cases) to useless do nothing dog. You dont want to produce, fine, but stop dogging your jobs, staying down on bullshit, and not backing people up. Most of you "old timers" took the whole do nothing thing to a whole new level. You are still paid to do your job, so at least be there for your own. As far as vri goes, the senior guys are the ones first in line bitching about how the department and the city keep trying to take away all of our benefits, blah blah blah, yet you hypocrites are standing in line to sign up for vri. Well, good job making the same devils you speak of, look like heros when they tout the drop in violent crime. For your petty ass paycheck that you spent earning away from your family and kids, to pay for your sweet harley you park in your garage. Was it worth it? Well I guess that question will be answered when the city and the arbitrator jam it in our asses on the next contract. Hope it was worth it for you big mouths, a year of overtime for a lifetime of struggling when they slash our pensions and make us take obamacare. And just to clarify, when I say petty ass ot checks, I dont mean the amount. You guys sold your souls and your union members out for a summer of extra money. It was obviously more than just the veterans, but they have the biggest mouths. So please, for everyones sake, the next time something major happens to our rights or benefits, and you were one of those who spent the year working vri, just shut the fuck up, because you created this monster you hypocrites. And dont say vri has nothing to do with our contracts, the big picture is, if no one signed up for it and the city went up for grabs,we would have a little ground to stand on. Like, change the morale, give us time off, concede and give us a "fair" contract and people will work. Oh and just to shut you up, I have plenty of time to get vri, and could use the money, but wouldnt do it out of self pride.
Good answer 1:45 pm
Yeah, unfortunately, having a lot of time on, also equates(in most cases) to useless do nothing dog. You dont want to produce, fine, but stop dogging your jobs, staying down on bullshit, and not backing people up. Most of you "old timers" took the whole do nothing thing to a whole new level. You are still paid to do your job, so at least be there for your own. As far as vri goes, the senior guys are the ones first in line bitching about how the department and the city keep trying to take away all of our benefits, blah blah blah, yet you hypocrites are standing in line to sign up for vri. Well, good job making the same devils you speak of, look like heros when they tout the drop in violent crime.

You must be one of the people we speak of, typical big mouthed hypocrite. Not that I need to explain myself to some one way, selfish jagoff, but I will. I will not put myself in a position that I have to pander to the same people(city of chicago)that steal my money from me. I dont need to, and dont want to work this bullshit. See I can sleep knowing I wasnt part of the problem. Now go work your days off and waste away all of your free time away from your family.

Let me understand this. The coppers here that you so recklessly accuse of being both "typical big mouthed hypocrites," and "selfish jagoffs" have not done a thing to you personally, right? If you don't find it necessary to work additional employment whether it's a part-time job unrelated to the police dept. or special employment is no concern of yours... You don't know the individual circumstance of these PO's. nor do they owe you an explanation. It might not be that there's a boat or a Harley in the garage or that the wife goes out on huge spending sprees... Maybe the wife works at a small Christian school bringing home a week what you earn in only one day. Maybe there are health issues with family close members that require that we help out so that they are not thrown out onto the street. These for some are hard times! Maybe Not everyone has your set of circumstances...
It is so so sad that coppers want to work and make all that overtime but when they go back to work for thier regular tours the first thing out of thier mouth is how tired they are,and I really don't want to do anything. Why not live within your means and stop being greedy. Nobady told you to buy that Harley, New SUV and your wife thinks that she is some high society woman charging everything. Now pay the price !!!!
To bad nobady told you to go back to school on your time off and learn how to spell thier

Ignore the idiot. He sounds very unhappy and unhappy about his job and circumstances. If he really had it figured out and was happy he wouldn't worry about what other po's are doing.
It's for reasons like this I started my own business. I have zero, and I do mean zero reliance of this job. I could lose this job today and would actually make more money from my side business. Just off my side biz I made over $80K last year and I will break $100K this year plus my CPD job of $80K. I am sure most won't believe my post but I will retire with 20-21 years on and do it before 50 years old.
I once got suspended for a month and took two weeks of that time off and went to Costa Rica where my second (PAID FOR) house is at. During that month I made about the same amount of money as if I had been working BUT I had two weeks off on the beach and no SGT asking me for shit.
My advice to all: Don't rely on VRI or court guys and gals for OT. Start your own business. Do something. It's really not that hard to do. Just be perseverant if you do it. I sometimes am so overloaded with work that I am changing my work clothes into my CPD uniform while I am driving because I am so busy and I keep getting told this is a bad economy, LMFAO, ROTFL.

I agree with a few of your points. Instead of working VRI, I focused on an advanced degree from a reputable school. I have not worked one day of VRI.
Sorry, can't talk now... Heading to VRI

I see a lot of haters replying. Obviously someone with not time on the job. Well kid, pay your dues. BTW I do just 4 days days anyways so im good, and kid or hair gel you ain't driving your gonna just sit there and shut the f*** up. Wait! you definitely ain't got shit coming now especially with the cut backs. So stop your whining and stop hating.
"stop hating" wow maybe you have worked to much VRI in the hood.
My Sentiments Exactly! You will drive if I say you Drive! If you don't have enough time to get O.T. Sorry, we were All there Once! What's Next... Reduce how many days we can take Furlo because the "New Guy" can't get a half decent Furlo pick?
And I bet Many who Bitch about people working ALL their Days Off including their furlos if given that opportunity probably would "Not" take advantage of it anyway.. The ones who Bitch the Most are the Same Ones who "Like there Time Off" and Refuse to work Special. Tell the Truth! Your either Too Lazy, or your Spouse Yells and Screams that they don't want you working O.T.! So just put a Fuck'n Lid on it and go to the Credit Union to take out another Loan for kids Tuition and keep your Mouth Shut! Meanwhile My Credit Cards and my kids Tuition is paid Up!

Paid up at what cost? I had the "pleasure" of having a couple VRI guys back us up the other night. That's after they sat on the same corner doing nothing all night. Then they show up from a block away after 5 cars already responded and stand around looking cute for sarge I guess. Spare me your money loving BS VRI is worthless go back to 16 or whatever you come from and do nothing in your on district.
