Safe Passage Continues
We had been hoping to report that Safe Passage was finished, all the kids were safe, and business as usual could resume in Districts and Units across the city. We can't, seeing as how Safe Passage has been extended indefinitely, probably until the end of the year, but certainly until the temperatures drop.
The City and many Departments, including police, fire, streets, traffic management, etc are now trapped in an odd situation. No student has managed to get wounded or killed in a Safe Passage zone during school hours since it began, therefore the program is considered a success. Conversely, should someone catch a round the very week, day or minute that Safe Passage is uncovered, Rahm is going to have answer a lot of questions that he'd rather not have to. So it looks like they are going to continue putting Probationary Police Officers on foot, squad cars on fixed routes, fire trucks parked on corners and TMA's and Streets and San supervisors cruising the hood. House mouses and HQ dollies will be deployed for shifts every week, not unlike the old "Closed Market" program from a few years back.
An efficient use of resources? We imagine Streets will be phased out shortly as there's always plenty of other jobs they can be doing, followed by TMA's and the CFD. They need those PPO's to cover the VRI boxes at night though. But holding down sizable percentages of the Districts for 3 hours in the AM and 3 hours in the PM? We'll have to see how the whole thing runs.

Make it time and a half spl employment and they would get volunteers
Armed concentration camps for "the children". How cool is that?!
They're gonna end up doing this all school-year. Just like the blue cards...when was that supposed to end, 2008?
Rahm has painted himself into a corner.
He closes schools without even putting the intangibles into play first. He then realizes (is told) that blood may flow when the savages go after each other. He comes up with this all hands on deck plan that is all show and no blow.
If nothing happens-it's a success,but it has to keep going.
If something happens-it just shows that it is needed and has to continue, no matter what the cost.
If it is stopped-and something happens, it is his fault that something happened.
We can't win either way--expect Safe Passage to last indefinitely.

Just the times to commit a burglary,
or rob a bank,
or ..."
Are the PPOs still doing 60 hour weeks?
If the life of even one child is saved, it is all worth it. We are seeing proactive policing at it's finest.
Safe passage... only for those who do not pay taxes. Amerikuh
Baby Mamas throughout ChiRaq's ghetto jungles breathed a collective sigh of relief upon hearing this news.
Safely enabled by our "pinhead, coward" mayor (tip of the hat to Bill O'Reilly) they'll happily continue to shirk the handful of motherly responsibilities associated with getting their kids off to school.
They'd probably thank you for walking their bastards to and from school... only they're too busy sitting in front of that flat screen watching Maury, texting away on their Obama phones and motherfucking the police to be concerned with exchanging such pleasantries.
With too many superintendents to begin with in streets, might as well keep a few on.They don't do shit all day to begin with.
in our district the CAPS folks never arrived before 0800--(or 1600-so I am told)...and they along with the office staff are no longer being used at all....but yes we continue to down 6 cars--even on days when all we can staff are the nine beats and a wagon
"....He then realizes (is told) that blood may flow...".....told by whom?? - the supreme micromanager ladder climbing self-promoting clod Steve Georgas?
It's not just Street and San supervisors working the routes. CDOT has had union laborers working safe passage from the beginning.
"Safe Passage Worker Hit Woman, Stole Benefits Card"

Works out great since I get to watch a movie or a few TV shows, catch a nap and than have ZERO activity to show. I'm hoping it sticks around for years and years, and yes I am a proud 011th district DOG!
If this saves just ONE police hating ghetto hoodlum to grow up to make more police hating ghetto hoodlums, ill have done my job!
Who says Big Daddy State doesn't work?
I've said this before but you guys are way to shortsighted. One month that's it nobody work any overtime iniative might actually scare some politicians, and show the citizens how bad it really is. If you can't afford to sacrifice one month of not getting a extra check your pretty much screwed financially anyways. Before you comment I have 23 yrs and have enough senority to get it. One month that's it have some foresight month of oct would work.
It's for the childrun don'tcha know.
Last week on zone 10, man stabbed, no cars due to safe savage, and a sgt told the dispatcher a car will go to the hospital at some point. So much for witness interviews, crime scene evidence, etc.
I know, call 311 with an Obama phone and all is good.

We are forced to take care of them from cradle to grave. They walk around with arrogant sneers on their faces because they know they can make us jump through hoops. Yet, they add nothing to society except their democratic votes. The democratic politicians have enslaved us.
Rahm and mccarthy driving around in 004 last night. Heines delivery driver shot multiple times. Sgt took slips from several p.o.'s who were 10 minutes late. Roll call usually doesn't start until 20 to 30 minutes after start time. Slips must be burned for an hour minimum but officers must start their tour right away?!?! So where does the other half of an hour go? Management wants more activity. They are so desperate that they came up with parking ticket missions and traffic citation missions. Didn't help. Days denied no contact horrible representation crappy equipment can be few things that may piss off a police officer.
As long as no one gets shot, it is a success, the question is at what expense.
As far as the CFD is concerned, they are still able to fight fires and instead of watching tv or lifting weights in the firehouse, they are out on the corner. Hard to argue when you are getting paid. All the doomsdayers who said they weren't trained and would be injured, proved to be wrong
Streets and San are still picking up the garbage and the work is being done
And headquarters hasnt been shut down because the po's are working it. Guess those essential and cannot do without workers, can be.
meanwhile, my neighborhood has NO police and we are all put in harms way. That's bullshit. I'm sure that $16 million dollars he spent on yellow metal unnecessary street signs would have made more sense hiring the nearly 2,000 police officers this city is currently short
No Safe Passage for the working man.
CFD Engine 35 still sits on the corner over a mile from quarters...right in front of Engine 57's quarters.
If you hold your breath and close your eyes and nobody gets shot, it works!
That's about how stupid this is.
You know what else would work? Aggressively going after gangs and known shooters.
But they won't, because those gangs pay off politicians and fake storefront reverends who are taught to scream racism.
And citizens pay.

You're an idiot.
It's a re-election disaster for the cocksucking mayor if he stops the program and something bad happens to a child on any of the safe passage routes. He can't afford to lose any of the black support he has.
As Officer jimmy Malone said to Elliot Ness "who would claim to be something that he's not?"
Spare no expense, no matter how ridiculous or impractical, to further Rahm's fucked up agendas.
I really don't care if we are in a backlog with jobs when I get out of roll call or it happens during the watch. Going to go to the job assigned, answer it to the best of my abilities, code it and get another one.
When the people get fed up because it takes the police 1.5 hrs. to go to their "Suspicious Person" call, then maybe, just maybe, they will get fed up and start calling their aldercreature and things will change.
What . . NAHHHHH . . . 19-Paul squad
With the "Safe Passage" bullshit NO ONE in personnel investigations is able to complete background investigations, therefore hiring has come to a complete stand still.
NO NEW academy classes starting anytime soon.
This city is soooo dysfunctional.
What black support? None of my black friends plan on voting for him & neither do I!

I didn't write the above but I think it was sarcasm.
We really need a sarcasm font.
We need to start watching Monty Python's Flying Circus again to be able to hone sarcasm to a fine art.
We need the cartoon head of Rahm's head exploding.
We need the cartoon of a 10 ton weight falling on McDufass.
We need the PPOs to fall in for close order prancing.
Cue the theme music...The Liberty Bell by John Philip Sousa.
So late side cars on 1st watch will continue to work 30 more minutes a day than early side. Great
I heard this from a copper in 019 few days ago a burglary couple blocks south of tiny dancers house burglars on the loose in neighbourhood D C asks for canine to help in search dispatch says only 2 canine units working and both working Safe Passage on south side so your out of luck DC good police work finally apphrended criminals but just shows you no resources available to help working police just non tax paying thugs . Oh and air support wasn't available either they also on Safe passage ,fuck the tax payers I got 4 cops protecting my house and family .Ramster plays the fiddle while Chicago burns

Get to work on time and the problem is eliminated, hair gel. BTW, get out of your mother's basement for some fresh air.
Where are the Fire Rahm signs?

When the time comes there will be two or three black candidates for all of you to choose from.
"Where are the Fire Rahm signs?"
Unfortunately, right next to the "Hire Carol Mostly Brown" signs.
How can 'Safe Passage' be considered anything but a failure given the basic fact that a safe passage from Chiraq's feral gangs is even needed in the first place? And how can 'Safe Passage' be considered anything but a failure when it's Police, Fire and other City resources being deployed from all over the city to do a job that PARENTS in these certain 'communities' should be doing in the first place?
So no, and excuse me, but whether there's violence or not, or someone is shot-injured or not on these 'passages' is irrelevant. The fact that's it's; a) Needed due to out of control violence, and b) The so-called Parent(s) are derelict in their basic duty to their own children and Society in general, means that they and Chicago is one huge Failure!
----------
solution to 'community' problem: One hour Artillery Barrage followed by Fast Rope Insertion by teams of US Army's Delta Force (1st SFOD-D) on Search & Destroy Mission -- aka, Black Flag; If it moves Kill It (Sat Cong!). AC-130 Gunships to provide Air Cover and to engage 'belligerents' who escape/evade first contact.
'Community' violence problem solved within seven days.

Fill out the slip and go sit in your personal car for the remainder of the hour. Problem solved
