Blood from a Stone
- ....police sources tell NBC 5 the mayor is asking the police department to cut its budget by 10 percent for next year.
On Tuesday, McCarthy said the department is "looking at different methods that we can still save money."
"We've been looking at ways of creating efficiencies, whether it's getting cops out on the street, hiring civilians, or consolidating districts which we did successfully in three separate neighborhoods," McCarthy said.
McCarthy clarified that those efforts to save money will not come at the expense of police performance.
Yeah, bullshit Garry. Who you crappin'?
Ten percent? Hiring is barely keeping pace with retirements. Equipment is old, broken down, obsolete and repairs aren't anywhere near paid for. Brand new buildings are falling down and built to third-world standards. The PPO's are already on foot to save on gas and cars. Rahm lets McStatistics burn through an entire year worth of overtime in just 6 months and now he wants ten percent more? And our HQ sources tell us the "team policing pilot program" has a meeting this Thursday - another excuse not to hire up to strength.
The FOP president already cost every member a year of retro pay and rumor is that Rahm's salary offer to the FOP included a pay cut, possibly as much as 10%. Is that part of the equation?

Mcdumbass is a liar! Everything that comes out of this mouth is a lie.. Crime is down to its lowest levels since 1960 whatever, we don't need to hire anymore officers, VRI is working, he is full of shit !!!
Was at area north the other day for some service on a vehicle. Only one mechanic was working, supervisor tells us we only have 3 mechanics on days and one on 3rd watch, then shows us a bin full of service tickets ( there was at least 30 in there)
Then he says there were no pool cars to hand out because they don't have any. Then he also says that he is hearing rumors that downtown is looking into combining beats to have officers ride 4 deep in cars to cover a larger area.
He also said the city has received a ton of cars without cages for this purpose that the city requested.
And I know the FTO's are riding 3 to 4 deep in cars however thats not the only reason these cageless vehicles were requested.
Our military is taking even grater cuts and having to do more with less, do it overseas. Surely, the CPD and cut their budget and try to be more efficient here at home.
Again, explain to me how consolidating districts saves money. 019/023 merged. Area at Belmont/Western is still open, lockup is still open, gang teams still there. What was the point? Where, exactly, was money saved? Det.'s moved out of A4 and A5. Buildings still house 011 and 025. What money was saved there?
I'd rather forego fighting for that first year of retro if it means giving something up. Don't give anything up.
Demote a large portion of the command staff, as soon as Rahm cuts his aldermen by 10%.
D-E-T-R-O-I-T
10%?? Thats easy, eliminate the majority of gold stars. Most of those overly bloated spots are redundent anyway so get rid of them and I mean really get rid of them not just the usual change name and relocate. See, 10%, piece of cake
Anyone that doesn't think that Chicago is the next Detroit, that think the people that say that are some tin foil hat wearing Casandra's, that it's all exaggerated nonsense...
Guess what? You are in denial.
Look at the so-called "Choose Chicago" favorite corporations of the mayors.
Look at what we are getting in return for the TIF funding and the tax breaks.
A short time ago AAR corp complained about skill shortages and claimed to have all kinds of positions that they just can't fill and other b.s.
Hoo-ray Choose Chicago? Why? Did AAR Corp choose Chicago? NOPE!

Motorola another city hall favorite,
I think their new Razor phone is a flop and they'll be gone soon. Already been doing layoffs.
Groupon, another city hall fav.. that isn't gonna last imo.
Meanwhile state income tax increase of 66% is here to stay. The real estate tax increase for Chicago of about 10% is just a start, wait till you see next years. The tollway fares have doubled, The CTA bus and train fares are up 16~74% Water bills up, parking meters hahaha don't get me started.
Illinois jails are busting at the seams to the point that the DOC is either unwilling or unable to put out a report on time to tell the world what our prison population is...but we know the gov. is cranking up the early release program again. We should start seeing the results shortly.
Of course then there's the busting of the pensions in progress. No word on a Chicago Casino gulag where we might generate some revenue. OH SHHHHHHH!. Don't talk about any revenue generation until we get these cuts damn it!! Otherwise you're gonna screw everything up -- that money is for our clouted friends and campaign donators that finance us. Don't give that money to the churls.
All the signs are there. All you have to do is open your eyes.
Waiting to see what the new contract is? Why? Why bother? If you can bust the pensions, if the president can go to war without congress declaring a war those constitutions are not worth the paper they are written on. The tyrants are going to do what they want and that's that.
over twenty years ago the buzz around roll call was whether or not to allow the city to deduct 1 dollar per paycheck for the medical--- the new guys laughed and said fuck the buck, who cares--- the old timers said bullshit, you give them nothing because that dollar will turn into ten and twenty and fifty--- look where we are now--- every contract negotiation has been contentious--- the equipment sucked thirty years ago and we needed more help thirty years ago--- nobody came on this job to become rich but you can't squeeze blood from a turnip--- as fraternal brothers and sisters we will fight for a fair contract and some type of guarentee that our pension fund will be solvent to serve the needs of our members...
Somebody draw up a list of the criminal Rahm of all the money he wasted on bullshit instead of public safety. In addition, come up with the money made on deals (selling the city, etc). What about the Tiff money? 16 million dollars for useless metal signs but no money for the police, "again". Parking meter deal, skyway deal, parks, trees, flowers, motels, stadium, bike paths, bicycles. how about cutting back on giving every ghetto district new curbs, sidewalks, streets, light poles, parks, library's, schools every other year while my tax paying neighborhood goes un-updated for 10+ years. might save lots of money there off the top of my head.

OFF THE RECORD: A Crash That Never Happened
Here's a gem. The Tribune reports that Mayor Rahm Emanuel happened upon an accident in which a truck apparently caused three bicyclists to crash in Wicker Park this morning.
Our favorite part of the story?
Two ambulances and a fire engine reported to the scene, but nobody was hurt seriously enough to require hospitalization, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford. The Chicago Police Department had no record of the crash.
Two ambulances, a fire engine, and the mayor's Chicago Police Department protective detail were there, but the police department has no record of this event. And they want us to believe them when they say that crime is "down."

Love the comments on this story.
Heres a start! Take away the exempts cars. They all make huge Saleries for very little, if any work. LET THEM TAKE THE BUS TO WORK
so when is arbitration?
King Stannis will not stand for this, he will take his army and march on city hall at dawn.
Can anyone confirm that 020 and 024 will consolidate?
I know, I know. . . get rid of that dead weight of Admin. Mgr. that works at the Academy. She is a ghost payroller anyway.
All the other Admin. Mgr. jobs were eliminated, why not hers?
Yesterday McNumbnuts was making the rounds of the local morning TV News-Talk shows spouting his BS about Safe Passage and other smoke and mirrors.
I called the WGN News Desk (LAkeview 8-2311) before he got there and told them we were pissed that we never see police in our neighborhood any more and to have Larry and Robin ask him simply, "How many sworn CPD police officers were there when you started and how many are there now?"
I said they would not get a straight answer, but Larry and Robin chickened out and almost did but would not ask him a straight question.
How are they going to handle this story?
Cut our pay and the jagoffs in special units will keep working and the sukasses will keep working. No one sticks together on this dept. Ur all a bunch of shit talkers. And I'm sure most of you voted for the tiny dancer so shut the fuk up already. Soon to be retired good luck ur gonna need it
Why is Leo Schmitz a Deputy Chief anyway?
He is the Commander of 007 with the highest
Homicide rate in the City making DC pay. Stroke.
The budget crisis the City of Chicago is experiencing is the work of the Machine that has run this City for decades. The Daley family has been at the top of that criminal, yes criminal, empire.
Any taxpayer that doesn't spit at any Daley they see on the street is crazy. Any taxpayer that votes for anyone connected with the current City government is a fool.
They already cut the dept ten percent! Lucky if 8000 checks go out for dept. that's everyone! Budgeted for 13400, do the math where is all that money going?
Wow! Just Wow! Wtf is going on? Are they out of heir very minds? Another cut? Talk about an officer safety issue! How about the huge taxes being paid and the citizens (at least the ones that pay taxes) getting no service? What about he bloated exempt structure? Why is 35th street packed with take homes for bosses and do nothing's? Save money? Why don't we take the CTA to all our calls? We get there when we get there! They make us take this bullshit "legitimacy training" I guess we are legit hen correct! We are laughed at, due to this touting crime is down, if yo have Comcast go and search programs look and watch drugs inc, it's free on national geographic channel, Chicago has the biggest open air drug market in the country, calling Chicago Chirac the most murders in 2012, watch the gang bangers listen to them talk, and you want to cut police!
I was really thinking of staying when I retire, house is paid for, kids are moved out, but now forget it, rahm you have ruined and destroyed a once proud city, a once proud department what a disgrace!
And all of you will find a way to do it and then bitch about it.
Just keep bringing in those arrests and numbers for VRI you bunch a sellouts! The whole lot of you cant look past the tip of your noses.
mcasshole was on ch 9 yesterday and when asked about needing to hire more police he said we give them overtime(vri) its a lot cheaper- i wont criticize guys for doing what they got to do do for their families but we will pay for this later on when it comes to pensions and having more cops to sustain your very retirement.
We will most likely consolidate districts on the Northwest side to save money because if we tried to make cuts on the south side the shootings would skyrocket and the reverends would be very upset.
The non taxpaying areas is where the crime is at.
-Garry M
He was on Channel 9 yesterday morning.
The question was posed about us being short staffed. His reply was we are enjoying a big reduction in violent crime with less officers, so we are not short. We are hiring right now to keep up with attrition.
Like it or not boys and girls, this is the amount of officers we will have for the next few years.
My pdt has been in the shop for 3 months and my tahoe has over 91,000miles on it. The radios barely work. The station computers are so old they don't even boot up properly at times. The consolidations have NOT worked. Where are you Andy Shaw? You and your organization are always looking for mismanagement and inefficiency. Why not look at CPD before McCarthy & Rahm destroy it even more.
We're such a progressive police dept., our operating systems and software are over 10 years old. No paper for copy machines, if you can find one that even works.
1 yr. to go. In the d-unit we're wasting countless man hours dealing with 'victims' who are mutts themselves. Stop giving service to bloodsuckers and focus on victims who are law-abiding, tax-paying citizens. That would cut my case load down by 70%.

Spoken like a true do nothing ass-wipe who never did a lick of work in his career. Stay in your mother's basement, moron.
Is Maggie still going to get her Park?
020 and 024 WILL consolidate. Beats will consolidate citywide. Sgts shortages will grow, no more than two Sgts per watch working each watch, one Sgt on midnights will be the norm. No promotions until 2014.
Rahm wants us as close to 10,000 budgeted sworn as possible. We are at 12,000+ now. About 12,000 filled.
It's interesting how we are UP 4% in murders compared to 2 years ago but McLying MoFo keeps talking about last year, a complete outlier.
I'm already doing more with less!
It's called being retired while on duty! ROD for short!
Fuck You! Rahm!
10% pay cut? Bwahahahahahaha!
You can get rid of 10% easily!
Cut Rahms bloated security force at SGT.'s pay!
No NEED for four Police Officers around Mayor Rahms house, 24/7 when the blood is flowing down the sidewalks of Uptown!
One Term Mayor and term limits for all Politicians with no pensions!
Of all the things that could be cut in this city to save money, the police dept. is the last place cuts should take place!
Drop all the b.s., like flower pots, new stadiums, parks, etc., there's your 10% savings.

9/04/2013 12:23:00 AM
We have "done more with less" for sixteen years. The downfall started in 1998 when the city started it's "management efficiencies".
For the love of God, officers have said it over and over again; we need more officers. It does make a difference. If you want to go cheap on public safety then be my guest. I only have two more years to go with this job.
For example, in my district on midnights back in 1995 we had about 44 officers working that shift. Today we have about a dozen on a good day. On a bad day we are down to eight officers.
OT:
Just heard Whole Foods is going to put a store in Englewood....company spokesman was asked why they are doing it, answer was that Emanual asked him to.
Seriously? What strong-arm tactics were used?
Sure, use TIF money for b.s. like this, and cut 10% from police budget/salaries?
Can't wait to get out of this crap city.
you still have a DO NOTHING police commander, captain, and other high ranking police at the OEMC doing civilian jobs.
all walking around with their guns and badges like they are doing real police work.
amazing...
Don't be surprised if the city merges two more police districts. Also the city can save a ton of money if they do the team concept with four officers in one car.
there are plenty of police liaisons at HQ who just schedule oil changes with fleet management
right sgt williams???
Thanks to my brothers in 016 for all they do while short handed.
Im already at half-ass 10 % below that would almost be like not doing work!
Eliminate felonies!
No felony review.
When offender goes to court in a year after arrest states attorney will Plea Bargain and give time served.

All exempts ride those rental bike to work with orange vest No TAKE HOME CARS!
Bond is whatever a junky has in his pockets no more IBONDS.
Stop processing Juveniles regular arrest and then have the dick check a box on report that states they reviewed it.
START up impound court again give officer ability to have 4 court dates a month of their choosing.
Give 50 cent out of every parker to the pension fund!
All advice is free since the city spent over 50k $ on me being edu-macated!
Retire Burke's "security" detail.
In regards to the FOP mention, Shields sold us diwn the river and he has to go along with the entire board Shields said he forgot about the letter to the city, well guess whar, other people on the board should have been on that. All they care about is getting that pay checkn and jocking for future gigs. We are getting ripoed off from the city and it starts with the FOP. Taking it a step further has anyone seen what these guys are getting paid, talk about ghost payrolls, has anyone seen what Dean Angelo sr. proposed with the bylaw changes? That could save us millions. We as a grouo of individuals need to be much more involved with the FOP come out tonthe Sept. meeting on the 17th at noon and voice your opinion abd maybe we can get a momentum going to get organized to stand up to Rahm
if rahm puts 10% paycut on the table then we need to pull the residency card!
008 and 007 will consolidate and will be called Southwestigan. Complete with outposts, supply routes, choppers , drones. Each Officer must complete and 1 year tour before bidding out.
I got a great idea but I am sure my comments will be like pissing into the wind; I might as well hit the 'delete' key right now. Stop paying CPD brass so damn much. Rham, we need boots on the ground and NOT more overpaid desk jockeys who are related to so and so who sit their asses upstairs and just come to roll calls bitching and whining about fucking contact cards. Really? Are all those ranks really necessary at that high of pay? Let's get real. That's where the problem stems from Mr. Mayor and also a pension idea while I am at it. Forget about this crap of your last 3 years once you get your gold braid handout/clout handout. Howz about dis: Make that a 5 year plan of paying in; it makes no sense that someone pays into a system at a high rater for 3 years after paying for years as a P.O./Sgt.
20 & 24 will merge early in 2014 and 14 & 17 will merge early 2015. These are on the table as possible cuts.
I just want to give that extra little bit for the company.
If you do your best you will be rewarded with a kick to the stones.
Under McGoebbels, crime will be down no matter what is occurring on the street.
No crime reported equals no crime committed.
If you are a victim of one of these crimes that wasn't committed your are left to fend for yourself.
It's the new order of things in rahamastan.

Yes, that will solve the financial crisis. You must have flunked math in school. The important point here is that this is exactly why we have no power and no voice. We attack internally rather than stand united against the external forces that put us in this mess. When you see idiotic comments like the one above, it makes want to give up and leave the state.
Ahhh yes on more card and this house of cards we call the leadership of McCarthy will fall. Hey Garry, don't you understand the raccoon is setting you to fail? Be a man and tell him it won't/can't work, so when you do fail you have a legit excuse and put the blame right on the mayor.
C'mon Rahm--cut our salary too?
Your cohort just saved you 19 million dollars from just the one year of retro that we were fucked over.
I said cohort, I'm sure Shields and you had a backdoor deal over "the letter" so Mikey will be taken care with a Deputy Commish of XYZ City Dept when he is voted out of union office and findss out that he'd be silenced by every blue shirt for fucking them over.
Your bickering is good theatre, it fools nobody at this time.
signs of the times in just about every democratically controlled city and state in the union. Pay cut? Maybe, but I doubt any increase in any pay or benefits, unless you are a teacher and have the power to strike and are doing it for the "children".
We need to march and protest like other organizations. Bring wives, husbands and children so the city sees that WE are all affected. Eveyone needs to go. Miss court, forgo the side job and skimp on your sleep that day.
King Stannis?????
let me get this right...gov Quinn just raised the minimum wage up $3.0 per hour and tiny wants to cut MY wage 10%...only in shitcago
Garry, I know you read this blog and I know your boss reads it too.
Listen up.
Consolidate more districts? Like the fiasco that 019/023 produced? No coverage at all west of Ashland and Wrigleyville turning into a war zone most nights with "exhuberant youth"
Like 012/013 with little police presence in what was the old 13? Very little coverage north of Madison from what I see and hear.
Can you, Garry explain to a TAXPAYER in the area of Wood/Chicago why it now takes an officer dispatched out of roll call 40 minutes to get there in rush hour traffic to assist them?
Combine what other stations? 020/024? You'd get the same results, no coverage where the TAXPAYERS, some who pay well over 10 grand a year in property taxes, live.
004/005? Strip Hegewisch all the way instead of the 90% it is now?
011/015 'nuff said--too big and too busy, "The Island" would be completly abandoned.
Try getting rid of the fluff at the top?
If our pay gets cut, you'll see a work slowdown that will cost this city millions.
I figured a great way to save 9.5 a lot of dough. Anyone with less than 10 years on the job leave this blasted city and go work in a city where taxpayers appreciate them. Wham...more bike lanes for pookie.
Look for 20 and 24 to merge which in actuality will save no money, commander will just be shuffled into a made up XO position and yada yada yada you know the rest.
Its been suggested that 16/17 merge which would redefine the word assanine but I wouldn't put it past the city.
when i retire im leaving the state never thought i would do it but im serouisly lokking at either tenn. or kentucky im tired of what i call the ghetto politics of this state. it used to be called the great state of ill. not no more.
So ten years ago, the Police Marine Unit had 50 p.o.'s, is now hovering around 30. Three years ago, the geniuses at City Hall and 35t St moved the fireboat (Eng 2) and the CFD fastboat (688) into the law enforcement building at the Marine Safety Station resulting in police jobs actually being taken out of the budget. Here's the good stuff.....the guys working CFD 688 get to work overtime on the boat on their day off, and a lot of it, and we can't get ot to save our asses. But CFD has over 200 divers that already get paid 5-7% more whether they're assigned as a diver or not. So, why are they wasting money by giving only a few of their divers ot when they should be assigning the certified divers to work 688 on their regular workdays? And CFD on the water is useless as they only rescue people; CPD on the water, however, rescues people more often than CFD cause their boats are faster and they are out there more, and CPD also does law enforcement, homeland security, special events, dignitary security, harbor and shoreline patrol, accident reports, boat maintenance and cleaning, etc. As usual, if they were serious about saving money, they wouldnt do these cockeyed things and they would ask the rank and file guys how to do it....I guess that's below their paygrade.
Tif expenditures under Rahm are now over 500 million, closing in on a Billion Just in case one of the son called "legit" news reporters are interested.
Cutting personnel by 10% means fewer contributing to pension, in the long run making it less sustainable for retirees than it already is. Geniuses!
024 and 020 will never merge. You would never see a car north of greenleaf and west of Clark. Too far to trust the back up. Too much politics in those two districts as well.

So you are advocating giving something up, retro, while telling everyone not to give anything up.
Think before you type, son.
When are they going to cut the Alderman down to 25? Talk about a lot of wasteful spending. In fact they can get away with 12 Alderman.

Exactly!!! Everyone else needs to be made aware of this obvious choice. Unfortunately, there are near-sighted individuals who see the quick fix but won't look at the big picture further away.
I will tell you right now that riding 4 deep does not work.
I am an FTO and I am ready to quit because these new officers are not being properly trained.
As far as riding 4 deep, how the hell will that play out? Assigning a four person car to a barking dog complaint, or a commercial alarm, or a number one parker, or a pot-o-meat burning, etc., is a waste of manpower.
Do these fools think that one car with 4 officers covering twice as much territory is effective?
The department and the city saw these problems coming a long time ago and all they have done is kick the can down the road when it comes to TRULY solving them.
Go fuck yourselves, you nitwit bosses. I'm tired of this bullshit.

WTF does that even mean?
Government is, was, and will continue to be rife with WASTE until such time as WE THE PEOPLE actually hold the leadership ACCOUNTABLE.
Yes, absolutely, the military and the CPD should cut administrative, clerical, and UNNECESSARY support waste.
The notion of "doing more with less" as it is applied to combat, front line, boots on the street, first responders, does not compute in the world we live in.
Attempts at doing "more with less" at the "customer level" will (and have) put the responders at a disadvantage, compromised responder safety, and left responders in harms way. (sometimes FORCING ultimate sacrifice)
Before there is talk of doing "more with less" from those who PROTECT OUR LIBERTY, lets get SERIOUS about wringing out the massive amount of GOVERNMENT waste.
What a crazy idea, huh?
"At first", said Chicago Police Superintendent Garry Mc Twitter, "I thought I was reading "The Onion".
Whole Foods Market to open Englewood store in food desert
The chain will open an 18,000-square-foot store at 63rd and Halsted by 2016. Why would a high-end grocer known for its pricier organic offerings come to an impoverished South Side community? Because Mayor Rahm Emanuel asked, said Walter Robb, the chain’s co-CEO. And because it fits with chain’s mission: “It’s been our purpose to bring healthier foods to the world,” Robb said. “We realize it’s probably a stretch in your readers’ minds. But so what? Stretch is good.”
Can anyone confirm that 020 and 024 will consolidate?
--------------------------
heard that this was happening back when they merged 019/023 and talking about 012/013. my guess is that it's in the works as we speak and will be done some time in early 2014. 024's station will be closed and probably sold.
Rahm is leading by example he sacrificed 10% of his stealing fingers.
Did anyone see Colbert last night? Classic! Short and skinny....if America cared about people being killed with guns, why haven't we invaded Chicago? All in reference to Syria

It is a stretch, but we had no armor on Convoys when we started. Its a horrible burden to be deployed away from family, but Inglewood is more dangerous than most of the oconus regions.
I'm looking to buy a new car, probably a new Ford. Anyone have any suggestions. I'm hoping to use my retro check as a down payment.
It's funny how this was just announced AFTER the sergeants WON their District Station Supervisor grievance.
No one is quite sure how much the city will have to pay on this one.
Northlake is having issues with their police building too:

I have no problem with operating efficeintly, BUT when the dept. has antiquated equipment, no cars like in16 where every watch sits around waiting for cars to come in for checkoff, and the ones they have have over 100,000 miles on them I don't buy it. How bout eliminating District commanders and making it a district captain, NO mORE XO, utilize commanding officers as opposed to Commanders. This is all a ruse for swiping in and out. It's coming and it will keep everybody at work. Just like working at Osco, swipe in, swipe out. Hey guys nice pinch, when you get done take off, well no more of that. Hey Sergeant I got court any chance to leave a little early, NOPE. Oh and tact, well, when you get done at that detail, don't even think of leaving. Its simple, give incentive for old timers to retire and you can hire two new coppers for the price of one old timer. It's called turnover in the private sector and it works. And one more thing how bout eliminating TIF districts?
First of all cut the exempts and thier office minions in half and that will free up a lot of cars and save 10%. This department is way to top heavy.
Get rid of first appearance at traffic court, the city gives everyone supervision anyway. While your at it instead off writing movers and sending them to court, come up with a charge and write Parker's, all the $ goes to the city instead of the county.
Offer double time for comp time, they already limit how much u can collect when u retire anyway so at least it will be deferred.

I'm the Police in an outside Agency.The next new car I will buy is a Ford Expedition. We use them and I think it's a Great car.
I get the ball busting on the retro,but I really like this ride.Better than a Tahoe as far as handling,driver comfort......

Consolidate more districts? Like the fiasco that 019/023 produced? No coverage at all west of Ashland and Wrigleyville turning into a war zone most nights with "exhuberant youth"
Like 012/013 with little police presence in what was the old 13? Very little coverage north of Madison from what I see and hear
LOL there was very little coverage west of asland to kedize south of grand ave when it was the Old 013
who are you kidding

The power went out up here in the 41st Ward last week during the storm.
The power was out for 24 HOURS.. I called the alderman's office numerous times.. NO ANSWER.
I might as well live in the middle of a desert.
The BOTTOM LINE?
Fuck these alderman !!!!
Cut them down to 12 total.
They are totally useless!

Whole Foods Market to open Englewood store in food desert
The chain will open an 18,000-square-foot store at 63rd and Halsted by 2016. Why would a high-end grocer known for its pricier organic offerings come to an impoverished South Side community? Because Mayor Rahm Emanuel asked, said Walter Robb, the chain’s co-CEO. And because it fits with chain’s mission: “It’s been our purpose to bring healthier foods to the world,” Robb said. “We realize it’s probably a stretch in your readers’ minds. But so what? Stretch is good.”
9/04/2013 11:47:00 AM
Stretch is also unaffordable, both for the chain and for the neighborhood.
But look at the bright side. LOTS of security work to be had there, once the chain realizes half the merchandise is walking out of the store under colorful tshirts every day.
And the bodies pile up.

I'd rather forego fighting for that first year of retro if it means giving something up. Don't give anything up.
9/04/2013 12:38:00 AM
So you are advocating giving something up, retro, while telling everyone not to give anything up.
Think before you type, son.
For starters, 20+ on, "dad". Second of all, why worry about a lousy 1-2% for that first year if it means giving up something we already have? Is that big percentage worth giving up uniform, duty availability, medical, or something else we will never get back? Don't give up a damn thing. Especially with this guy. If he sticks around for 20 yrs like Daley did, he's gonna try to take it all away. One in the hand is worth two in the bush. Look at the big picture.
This is just a bad dream. Right?

Sounds like the venting of a bitter employee who has nothing to do but bitch about others. If you care so much, then file a complaint.
OFF TOPIC...BUT REAL IMPORTANT
Can this be confirmed as true or not.
Is Former Mayor Richard M. Daley, now sitting on some position of the the Parking Meter Company he supervised the 75 year windfall lease to?
Is he or is he not?
Wouldn't that be the way to break that contract, maybe even to jail Richie, maybe even to say to the Parking Meter Company, you have made enough money, now buzz off or go to jail.
Merge 20 and 24? I know many feel that 20 is a soft district -- it seems to be the preferred spot for clouted commanders to enjoy their final pension increasing promotion before retiring (Tom Byrne was commander for about ten minutes a few years ago) and most commanders attend one or two community meetings before retiring and being replaced, or so it seems, but truth be told the neighborhood is becoming a potential powder keg. The animals are on the prowl and I predict the entire district is about to become as bad as the 24th in short order. Section 8 tenants have been liberally deposited into the district and the 20th is undermanned like everywhere else.
Property crimes, vandalism and public disorder offenses are on the rise. Mather High School used to be one of the city's best and now it is awash in the ghetto culture.
D-E-T-R-O-I-T has a casino and it did not make a difference.
The Chicago City Council has been downsized once before (from seventy members to fifty). The biggest single reform that I could recommend is that the public reverse the abomination foisted upon the city by the Democratic Machine when aldermanic terms were upped to four years. Why should an aldercreature serve for four years (as long as the president or the governor) when Congressmen and State Representatives serve two year terms. Aldermen who are insulated from the public by long terms are more apt to engage in mischief and corruption. Look how they manipulate the pay raises for what is still a part-time job! Put the bastards back on a two year election time table and cut their salaries!
024 and 020 will never merge. You would never see a car north of greenleaf and west of Clark. Too far to trust the back up. Too much politics in those two districts as well.
You are young and dont ever say never I'm retired. but started in 020 in the 70's 020 the most calls in the city and as far as the distances we went from Montrose on the south to Evanston on the north including the J streets at Howard and Paulina, the lake on the east to basically Kedzie on the west. And there was a stretch south to Irving Park around Western Ave. Now it takes all of 020,024 and part of what 023 to cover that area. So dont say they cant merge the two districts
I am a p/o who was sent to safe passage from 35nth st. This thing is a disaster waiting to happen. Just today was told that three venders of safe passage have dropped out at one school so a S&S guy was filling in for one of the persons. It's not even cold yet and they're already dropping like flys. People from 35th will be down there for the whole school yr. the ppo's are by themselves working 12hrs 6am until 6pm with one day off. This dept. is a joke and now even the ppo's know it!
Our military is taking even grater cuts and having to do more with less, do it overseas. Surely, the CPD and cut their budget and try to be more efficient here at home.
9/04/2013 12:23:00 AM
It is not as simple as you think. City Hall has demanded a 10+% cut at CPD for every fiscal year for as long as I can remember. While the clouted piss-away money on nonsense and the politicians are stealing tax dollars right under our noses, the citizenry suffers from these yearly cuts in their police and fire service. The cabal at City Hall will take from the taxpayers so the clouted and the politicians can continue to waste and steal tax dollars.
merge 10 & 11 , 20 & 24 2 less commanders , 60 less sgt , 14 less lts , 2 less xo spots , 40 less house cats , 60 less testicle officers , means more people on the streets .
To the person worried about what the Administration Manager is doing. Why do you care? You should be more worried about why your hair style is from the 50s. Come on Barb you got more important things to worry about.

Two off topic comments:
A dog "falls" 43 floors off a balcony today on Water Street, after a cat "fell" 43 floors from the same balcony on Sunday, yet CPD says NO ARRESTS? Really? wtf. Check on any women in that apt. They're likely to be next.
AND Alderman Laurino is planning a "town hall" Thursday night with the 016th commander and park district officials apparently to address the attacks on the ODPO's.
"Everybody knows, the poor always being fucked over by the rich, always have, always will."
(King, Platoon)
Funny thing about it, the poor especially those in the military and Law Enforcement, "The Grunts" have all the guns but seldom turn on the rich, Why? Some twisted sense of Honor? Will they honor our pensions? When they don't, we will just take it up the ass, and they know it.
Yet you morons continue to bring in revenue for city?
When I was an SVU sergeant on third watch in Area 5 I had 12 detectives and a light duty PO to work the phone.
When I went to Area North I had 14 detectives, one of which worked the desk. Area 5 was five districts. Area North is those five districts, 20, 24, 19/23 and 11 which is like half an area itself. DO MORE WITH LESS!
How about cutting the aldermen's 1.3 Million dollar annual slush fund. Used to bribe voters mostly, look I just saved the city over 60 million dollars a year.
Let's be honest, the department has done more with less concept for like 14 years. In those 14 years the sky has not fallen like most people have predicted. So the do more with less management concept has worked. Think about it, if this concept didn't work, then the city wouldn't consider implementing it. Plus the arrest ques, contact cards, the bin containing all sorts of tickets is always full.
No big departments are doing "team policing" because it doesn't work! Just like comp stat, perception doesn't stop or solve crimes. The real question is budget cutting for what? More pork belly spending, money going to friends of friends in projects like the 55 million dollar DePaul staduim being bank rolled with tax payer money.
Ten percent is about 900 cops about 72 million all considered. I don't see that happening without cops getting layed off. All the rest of the non personnel lines don't amount much even if they were all zero.
There is only about 70 exempts. Even if you fire half of them you are only saving around 6.4 million.
Off topic,that Link card won't buy too much at Whole Food in Englewood unless they lower the prices for Englewood dwellers and increase the prices for the taxpayer in Lincoln Park "to even it out".

Scc the arbitrator will determine retro pay not Rahm. It's not a done deal
9/04/2013 12:46:00 PM
Where in the world do these people get the idea that some arbitrator will decide on retro pay, if and how much?
Will the arbitrator determine where I will go on my furlough? Will the arbitrator decide when I should take a dump? What is this crap? Why would the arbitrator determine something that is not in the contract in English?
The arbitrator will rule on certain contract items, if the contract even goes to an arbitrator. The arbitrator isn't Santa claus. He isn't given a list of shit we want for Christmas.
That contract likely won't be settled for three more years. There is absolutely no incentive for Rahm to settle. None. He will drag it our as long as humanly possible.
Forget retro pay. You aren't getting any. Deal with it.
Enough with the "bloated HQ," "35th St dollies" bullshit already. We're cut to the bone and working triple-loaded like everyone else. And while you think we all get take-home cars - we don't. In fact, there are no more CPD cars for us blue shirts there anymore at all - just the half dozen City Flex-Fleet rental cars we all have to share and sign out for ahead of time through supervisors. And if there are no cars left, you get no car; take the bus to your meetings. We have seasonal deployment, which means that from March through October we work one weekend day, and that day is spent at whatever festival, parade, or sporting event needs bodies. These are across the city, and we drive our own cars there. Now with this nonsense safe passage, we are scheduled outside of our normal duty hours - some by more than 2hrs - and have been standing on these corners every day for two weeks, with at least one more week scheduled. This means that the civilians are all that is left at HQ - handling your paychecks, OT, and timekeeping. You know, the same civilian cadre that has sold your personal info to the gangs? Yeah, they are all that's there handling your pay and time. So keep bitching about how rough you have it and how sweet we have it. If fucking sucks for everyone. And before you start talking shit about coming back to the district, that PAR has been dropped.
Not a cop, start the petition, I will glady sign it, this is some bullshit. Maggie Daley Park, bike path, the massive OT that is wasted in OEMC, the list goes on. WTF

9/04/2013 11:50:00 AM
Why the hell not? When I came on the job they were splitting 020 into two districts and 024 was created. I have seen so many things done in the name of efficiency and then changed back under a different administration, again, in the name of efficiency.
ET's, out of the districts then in the districts, then back out of the districts again. Gangs, then no Gangs then Gangs again. No School Patrol, then School Patrol then no School Patrol again, then School officers in each school. There is so much more, change then change back then change again. Over and over.

Retirements and no new hires should do it. And by then, the citizens should be terrified, hiding inside their homes because there will be no police on the streets at all.
Get back in the salt mines you peasants, and quit complaining, you should be happy that you have a job.
Last year NPR reported that the lowest income of any elected US official was $840,000.00.
Our own Mayor has over 15 million in his bank account.

Saw on the news about Whole Foods opening in Englewood. WTF!!!
A "member of the community" had a good point about how the area would be better served by a Super Wal-Mart.
Whole Foods is a artsy-farsty eco-green boutique grocery.
Not price appropriate for Englewood. Even if they will carry organic flamin' hot Cheetos.
The basic fact as to why there are "food desert" healthy food areas is that the market in those areas does not support it.
Scented candles, fancy teas, organic crackers. Good choice.
I give Whole Foods about 1 year in Englewood. They will get tired of being ripped off. Individually or by mobs.

No, it isn't. It's a shared facility, but the County doesn't foot the City's bill out of the goodness of its heart. The dicks are still upstairs, the lockup's open, there's a desk crew. The City pays for heating, cooling, lighting and maintaining that.
There was NO savings from merging 19 and 23.
63rd and Halsted as the new site for Whole Foods? Isn't that the scene of the crime in the nonfiction book and the upcoming movie "Devil in the White City" about Chicago's first serial killer?
Nothing changes.
For the last 8 or 9 years I've been jogging through the areas covered by the brown line along ravenswood from Irving to bowmanville, the river on the west along mostly Lincoln to Peterson and as far east as the lake...
Over that time I often thought of a question an out of towner once asked me. He was here on business often and considered moving here but wondered what per cent of the city was "liveable."
I was honest. At that time, even with unemployment at 5 per cent, the real estate market booming, development everywhere, and the economy growing as people on all sides seemed to agree that Daley was probably crooked, but, boy, wasn't the city in better shape than when he took over? In spite of all that- I surprised the man because I said, seriously...less than a quarter of neighborhoods within city limits are liveable. Consider all the criteria most families consider, school quality, costs, safety, walkability, mobility in traffic and ease of parking when you get to your destination, fuel prices, taxes, fees... yes this town is great -but-
The difference in realities from visiting as a tourist and actually living here, I said not worth it.
That was ten years ago.
Today, as I jog those routes and I see the mad, shortsighted, desperate and irresponsible and obvious social-engineering going on throughout Lincoln square, st. Ben's, north center, andersonville, roscoe village, and ravenswood... I come to the sick conclusion that this city is probably ten or fifteen per cent liveable, at best.
The post that predicts 020 going down a path toward higher violent crime will prove correct.
Vouchers, and halfway houses and other programs are already having effect. Noise disturbances from loud newcomers and all the nasty traffic, domestics, garage break-ins, teen offender batteries and assaults... just the beginning.
All for what? So that there might be one less murder in one area the mayor is willing to invite many more murders somewhere else?

Need to run you thru a "grater" and even that's speeled wrong!
Rham never mentioned a pay cut on the radio for his CPD recruitment ad.
In Chicago, and most government institutions, there is always a gap between what is budgeted and what is spent. They put in a cushion of some amount in the budget that they will not spend, then claim they have been careful with the tazpayers money. It's all BS.
They can probably cut 10% just by eliminating unfilled positions, unstarted projects, etc. Then add it back later so they can make another sacrifice next time......
Amen 9/4/13 , 943pm I just got to 35th and I'm done - been working the ghetto in a 4 block radius from 10-6 for two weeks with no end in sight!
"The post that predicts 020 going down a path toward higher violent crime will prove correct."
Exactly. I actually sat through a CAPS meeting where the commander of the hour said to the members of the general public assembled that they had no cause to complain because most of the activity in the district related to property crimes. Is that a good thing? The criminals are targeting the area as a soft target. Did this clueless idiot ever hear of the "broken windows" theory?
I never understood why Chicago never adopted some of the measures that New York implemented under Mayor Rudy Giuliani to chase the aggressive panhandlers (mostly drug addicts and drunks who are now found at almost every major intersection in the 20th) off of the streets. Of course, Rudy differed from Richie in that he was pro-police and felt that it was critical for the city and the police to be on good terms during his mayoralty.
Just an FYI, but the Aldercreatures have chimed in too. "No need for more police positions, we are hiring police, everything is fine, nothing to see here folks"!

Where has it been written or said about 10% pay cut, or is this just a nasty rumor
Inspector General Joe Ferguson wants to disband the Marine Unit and give its responsibilies to the CFD, Coast Guard and Conservation Police. Problem is the CFD does not want to get involved in anything law enforcement related, and the Coast Guard and Conservation Police have a minimal presence here and have budget problems of their own.
Here's an idea for 10% cpd budget cut . End duty availability and give a 5% pay raise , pensionable to Police Officers in Patrol ,Narcotics and Specialized street units , detectives that are assigned to the 1st and 3rd watches . This would pass a union vote with ease . Let's quit paying the inside house cat cowards and day time dollies . 5% is more than what we get now and it would go to the working police officer , old timers could bid for 1st or 3rd watch and pass on their experience to younger officers .

Are you retarded or just stupid? Give up NOTHING, Jr! Get some time on before you make statements like that!
Fact, the CPD budget is 96% personnel costs, and we know that can't take the other 4% down to zero (because we still need bologna for prisoners, gas, facilities, etc...), so hitting 10% reduction means a big decrease in bodies.

You think facilities, gas, cars, radios, paper, copy machines, fax machines, computers, desks, chairs, air, heat, electric, phones, recording devices, cameras, pdts, dispatch systems, surveillance cameras/pods.. cost less than four percent of the budget? I'll bite. Document it.
Why should we give up 10% of anything!
Unlike NYPD, we live, vote and pay taxes HERE.
We want to keep what we got and want more, make the unproductive give up 10% or more.
merge 10 & 11 , 20 & 24 2 less commanders , 60 less sgt , 14 less lts , 2 less xo spots , 40 less house cats , 60 less testicle officers , means more people on the streets .
Really? Merge 10&11?So going from 33rd st to division and Cicero to Ashland. There's not enough police in the city to cover that ammount of space without crime skyrocketing. I'd love to see the commander of that shithole at compstat. They'd lead the city in crime category and have two diff detective areas handling crime
In regards to the FOP mention, Shields sold us diwn the river and he has to go along with the entire board Shields said he forgot about the letter to the city, well guess whar, other people on the board should have been on that. All they care about is getting that pay checkn and jocking for future gigs. We are getting ripoed off from the city and it starts with the FOP. Taking it a step further has anyone seen what these guys are getting paid, talk about ghost payrolls, has anyone seen what Dean Angelo sr. proposed with the bylaw changes? That could save us millions. We as a grouo of individuals need to be much more involved with the FOP come out tonthe Sept. meeting on the 17th at noon and voice your opinion abd maybe we can get a momentum going to get organized to stand up to Rahm
