Frank Trigg Died

The only (known) CPD boss to piss "hot" on two separate occasions (if we recall correctly), once after admitting his dalliances with a certain "lady of negotiable affection."

And absolutely nothing happened to him. Yet another shining chapter in the annals of CPD history.

And then this rather large man who was a boxer in the army wanted to become a woman when he retired. Weird but true.

Trigg liked his drugs.

Trigg was a nice guy that would actually say hello to people.

There was a certain female VG who pissed hot twice in 020 and retained her job. There was also one in 025/A5 who pissed hot and retained her job too.

'Pissing Hot' doesn't necessarily mean the person used drugs. It's NOT an Urban Legend, but Poppy Seeds can give and HAVE given a false positive for drug use (that Seinfeld episode was True).

One good old Chicago Hot Dog with Rosen's Poppy Seed buns, or yuuuuum -- a Maxwell Street Polish (droooool) -- with them will do it, a Bagel (blah), anything with poppy seeds. Up to 48 hours after eating them you can fail a pee test for drugs.

Many cops and others who have to take drug tests have actually lost their jobs and had to sue to get them back just because they ate bread with poppy seeds on it and 'peed hot'. Poppy Seeds buns, or poppy seed anything, are banned from all Federal Prisons and Half Way houses because of this.

Early on in my career , I had a bad allegation in regards to brutality, total bs but a large crowd descended on the station and began hooting and hollering demanding "justice" with all the usual belly aching etc..my partner and I are just starting the paperwork on the arrest and I get summoned to Triggs office, Im new to the whole ghetto non sense and figure this cant me good. Trigg sits me down asks first am i and my partner ok ? when i say yes, he then asks what happened. when i tell him i expect a lecture but instead he gives me a story starting with "back in my day we woulda" and ends with " good job you aint got to worry about shit"...

I don't want to mention the entire name of the person who claimed this when called for a pre-lieutenant drug screen, but "Rich" was a good guy and a good police officer. He had strong ties to the Rev Daniels as did Frank Trigg.Daniels was head of the police board at the time.

The head of the police board saved Trigg, the Rev. Daniels. In order to save Trigg the department had to save a dozen or so other offenders by lumping them all into a group that was not properly given their administrative rights prior to testing. Trigg was the commander of area one as I recall when he tested hot the second time. He just went home and stayed there for days until the IAD came to his door. When he answered the door he had makeup on.

Say what you want, and there is plenty of speculation, rumors, lies and truths said about his life and career, but he never hurt anyone on our job and he was not a hater, and any of the old school, revolver police knows that, back in the day, a non-hater black boss was a blessing. He cut me a big break, for no other reason than he was a good man, and I am white. RIP Frank, and thank you.

When Frank was CO in 007, his guys were being hit hard with the bangers filing false charges against his men. Frank went to the FOP about it and the result was the resurrection of the Sworn Affidavit Legislation passed in 2004. He and the Englewood Steering Committee were major supporters of the bill and that is why the Black Caucus went along with it. RIP.

FT wasnt the only copper that failed a drug test by the claim of having sex with someone who had coca on their genitalia or in their anus. It's been used several times over the years.

About 20 years ago, a copper who was married-with children, pissed hot for coke. At his board hearing he brought in a "man" who claimed he had cocaine on his penis while he fucked the copper in the ass. The soon to be exwife was humiliated. The board didn't fire the copper. The copper died a few years later of AIDS

You have no idea what you're talking about. All poppy seeds do not cause you to test hot.
Several years ago, there was a spate of hot tests due to food from one local bakery/restaurant. Turned out the owner's mom or wife (can't remember which) was hauling the poppy seeds back on a plane every time she went home to visit and didn't know they were the wrong kind. (I don't have time to go track down the story right now.) The Dept had the seeds from the business tested and found out the truth.
But, to say all poppy seeded food will make you come up hot is flat-out ignorant, in the true sense of the word. Get the facts before you post urban legend nonsense. Yeesh, like no copper ever has a hot dog on a seeded bun in this town.

You Sir couldn't be further from the truth! Frank Trigg was a 'working' Police Officers best friend. Compassionate and understanding, regardless of race, creed or color! One of the few bosses that would hit the street and 'mix-it-up' right alongside you. Always respectful, and carried himself as a professional... and never pompous! That pissing out hot shit was riddled with bullshit from the start... and far too many here don't know, weren't on the job, listened to garbage for years! And as far as any absence was concerned... far be it that you ever be afflicted with the hardships of diabetes, kidney failure and loosing your eye sight! And still come to work! STFU

WHAT complete and utter bullshit. The testing range for positive is pretty high. you probably would have to eat 100 poppy seed buns 10 minutes before you test.

Most of the officers who tested hot for reefer were middle aged males. They were allowed to retire and they did get their pensions. All you need is 10 years to vest in the pension fund. Just put your papers in before the police board acts on you.
