Movement is a Good Thing

This list looks more like a spastic bowel:
  • 001 - 10 openings
  • 002 - 04
  • 003 - 10
  • 004 - 10
  • 005 - 10
  • 006 - 05
  • 007 - 04
  • 008 - 10
  • 009 - 10
  • 010 - 10
  • 011 - 10
  • 012 - 04
  • 014 - 05
  • 015 - 05
  • 016 - 05
  • 017 - 05
  • 018 - 10
  • 019 - 08
  • 020 - 10
  • 022 - 15
  • 024 - 04
  • 025 - 05
One-hundred-sixty-nine openings in all 22 Districts.

After all the watches have been balanced, Day-off groups settled and furloughs picked, now they do the biggest Bid Opening List in years.

What the hell?

U gotta love this department's leadership. Only they can fuck up the biggest opening list in 12 yrs. any monkey would have known to open this up before furlo and watch bids. Now everything is balanced in the district and with giant moves like this it will only immediately jack everything up.


Gotta love the leadership and people running this place. UNREAL!

Dafuck? O_o?

Damn!

There haven't been this many openings posted city-wide in at least 10 years!

So...
When the guys from the north side who got fucked play their seniority card and bid closer to home and the people west and south try to move to get away from bad bosses, the door is going to be slammed shut for many years to come with no "posted" openings other than south and west?

Retirements must've been off the charts this year...

And more to come when the mid 80's through early 90's hires who have the age to get the fuck out of dodge to heal, get healthy and live a normal life...

This group is about one third of the department, right?

That's what I say SCC. Typical department fucking with the troops. If they cared about moral they would have done this at least one month before watch bids. So if you bid out now you are stuck on whatever watch the district puts you on until Jan of 2015. The department proves us right every time and shit like this is why there is no trust.

Dear diary,
Well today is a day I have been waiting for! There are openings everywhere! There are even 8 openings in my promised land of 019! This means I will get to make 8 new friends! I get to hear more war stories from all over the city and compare them with my old glory days on the west side! Folks let me tell you 019 is a promised land now that the lead singer of the Village People XO M.R. has left the district. It is significantly greater to now work in "the Looney bin" of 019. Everything is compstat related and not based on last nights binge drinking.
The only problem I see here though is the exodus of folks from 019. You see there are a lot of unhappy cowboys and cowgirls at the 019 ranch. The wounds are still fresh from the days of Inspector Expressway as the XO. Also they beefed up our boys and gals on midnights this year which meant a lot of unhappy officers that. "Got dumped". I have it on top secret hush hush clearance that within hours of the announcement the PAR forms were flying in. I hear that Inspector Expressway's paramour MH put in her transfer request. A shame really, I rather liked her and feel bad in her choice of man meat. I hear many who got dumped put in their transfer requests, hell I even heard that the park car people are bidding out... How bad is it when the park police flee a district?
All's I know is I am staying put! I love the sun over the lakefront, I love watching Cubs fans hearts get broke
, I love watching young love in progress on Clark St, even though some nights it does look like Englewood north but with blonde chicks running around trying to play "ride a gangbanger so daddy will respect me".
Me? Yes I'm staying put, working in my police cruiser, reading my general orders and hiding from sergeants like T.E. Who is still, and forever will be a skid mark in a bums pants in life....

Keep in mind...watch selections for 2014 were just completed. It does not matter if you were a successful bidder or assigned a watch by management. If you're a successful bidder to a new district, your watch assignment is at the commander's discretion.

Funny thing is these openings will take effect after the watch bids have already been completed.
That means anyone coming into a district can be placed at the D.C.'s whim.Barring any quarterly bids these coppers could be stuck on an undesirable watch for a year... even if they've got the seniority to do better on a bid.

And yet, still no sergeant's class announced? I know that for those of you who this doesn't effect, this sounds like a broken record. But some of us have had our lives on hold in a lot of ways for the past 7 years. Yes, seven! But this guy has the balls to send a Pax 501 bragging about all the opportunities he's created for advancement, yet nobody has called him out on the fact that NOT ONE sergeants or lieutenants class has been made this year. Not one. And further, this is the first time in as long as I've been on the job-19 years-the merit committee met and gave him their picks almost a year ago, and still we wait. It's one thing to go to the newspapers and TV stations and feed them the bullshit, but to feed it to the troops and expect us to swallow is deplorable. Just make whatever merit picks will make that fat f*ck Jason Erwin and the rest of the black alderman get off your back and be done with it. Don't put on a big song and dance about making sergeants -something he's said at Compstat about 8 months ago, and have us go into the new year without a single one. And if you do, don't think nobody notices.

Exactly, nothing changes in this political cesspool. What they should be doing is dumping 200 from narcotics to help staff the districts that are woefully short but of course the commanders friends and family can't work the street so put them in a safe place. We all know that there are a handful of officers doing the bulk of the work in OCD/Narcotics, the rest are just hiding.

OT. Recently in the districts there has been a free magazine placed at the desk called “Illinois Cop”. It usually has some good articles and information on LE subjects. This month’s edition has Garry McCarthy on the cover and an interview. The article has to be read in its entirety to see the lies and propaganda that is being spewed. The two subjects that were interviewed and quoted for the article are Lt. David Harris and Commander Barb West. Harris who was promoted through the performance based process (again) will no doubt at a future date be given a command position based on not on his ability but his connections and clout. Barb West also is cited in the article as someone who has seen the department from many different positions as stated in the article. Bard West as stated to her officers that “when she was on midnights she use to sleep in the hole on the island”. Way to go Barb. McCarthy is quoted as including West as “one of the people who will walk down to the end of the alley with you.” Really, because one you would have to wake her up, second do you really want her by your side and finally if things go sideways will she have your back? This is the type of leadership that is promoted and encouraged in the department that McCarthy is redefining. The walls in the stations have all the quick quotes about the job. “Earned, not given.” Really because in the department that exists today as in the past it is “Given, not earned” Think back and ask yourself why has this department lost to retirement the Chief of Patrol, the Chief of Detectives, and the former Commanders of Narcotics and Gang Intelligence all within the last six months. I would have to assume that the men in those past positions offered to guide McCarthy but he would not listen to their knowledge and experience in operating in Chicago. The experience and knowledge that was lost will next to impossible to replace. Look at the people in the command staff positions and ask yourself “did they truly earn their position and do they have your best interest in the decisions that they make or have they become number counters in a profession where personal skills are a key component of being a police officer or a leader on this department?”

And yet, still no sergeant's class announced? I know that for those of you who this doesn't effect, this sounds like a broken record. But some of us have had our lives on hold in a lot of ways for the past 7 years. Yes, seven! But this guy has the balls to send a Pax 501 bragging about all the opportunities he's created for advancement, yet nobody has called him out on the fact that NOT ONE sergeants or lieutenants class has been made this year. Not one. And further, this is the first time in as long as I've been on the job-19 years-the merit committee met and gave him their picks almost a year ago, and still we wait. It's one thing to go to the newspapers and TV stations and feed them the bullshit, but to feed it to the troops and expect us to swallow is deplorable. Just make whatever merit picks will make that fat f*ck Jason Erwin and the rest of the black alderman get off your back and be done with it. Don't put on a big song and dance about making sergeants -something he's said at Compstat about 8 months ago, and have us go into the new year without a single one. And if you do, don't think nobody notices.

I feel your pain brother. People like you earned your score entirely all by yourself. Your score belongs to you and your family that made that sacrifice. It must be disheartening to see the "merit" selected candidates jump over you while you are waiting for your turn. I wish you the best and I hope they make another sgt. class soon. A lot of good decent people with no family or political connections are on that list. Instead of tearing each other down, we need to support each other and be positive at times. Good luck and Merry X-Mas to you and your family. Remember, not everyone is rooting against you. Some are pulling for you.

OT. Recently in the districts there has been a free magazine placed at the desk called “Illinois Cop”. It usually has some good articles and information on LE subjects. This month’s edition has Garry McCarthy on the cover and an interview. The article has to be read in its entirety to see the lies and propaganda that is being spewed. The two subjects that were interviewed and quoted for the article are Lt. David Harris and Commander Barb West

Dave Harris never did a bit of work in 15 years-he was a Merit Sgt and Lt- and until he saw a Gold Star in his future he never took any initiative. Ask Anita Alvarez- she had to order hoim out of 26th St because he was trying to make a name for himself on a Policeman's trial

Dear diary,
Well today is a day I have been waiting for! There are openings everywhere! There are even 8 openings in my promised land of 019! This means I will get to make 8 new friends! I get to hear more war stories from all over the city and compare them with my old glory days on the west side! Folks let me tell you 019 is a promised land now that the lead singer of the Village People XO M.R. has left the district. It is significantly greater to now work in "the Looney bin" of 019. Everything is compstat related and not based on last nights binge drinking.
The only problem I see here though is the exodus of folks from 019. You see there are a lot of unhappy cowboys and cowgirls at the 019 ranch. The wounds are still fresh from the days of Inspector Expressway as the XO. Also they beefed up our boys and gals on midnights this year which meant a lot of unhappy officers that. "Got dumped". I have it on top secret hush hush clearance that within hours of the announcement the PAR forms were flying in. I hear that Inspector Expressway's paramour MH put in her transfer request. A shame really, I rather liked her and feel bad in her choice of man meat. I hear many who got dumped put in their transfer requests, hell I even heard that the park car people are bidding out... How bad is it when the park police flee a district?
All's I know is I am staying put! I love the sun over the lakefront, I love watching Cubs fans hearts get broke
, I love watching young love in progress on Clark St, even though some nights it does look like Englewood north but with blonde chicks running around trying to play "ride a gangbanger so daddy will respect me".
Me? Yes I'm staying put, working in my police cruiser, reading my general orders and hiding from sergeants like T.E. Who is still, and forever will be a skid mark in a bums pants in life....

The Court entered a final and appealable order. Krislov on the same day filed a notice of appeal in the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

This is because specialized units are going to open for bid. Once you bid for a district you will be locked in for one year. Within 2 periods the unit bids are to open, but those who jumped the ship too early won't have a chance of going there. FACT ! The clouted already been told sit tight.


Exactly, nothing changes in this political cesspool. What they should be doing is dumping 200 from narcotics to help staff the districts that are woefully short but of course the commanders friends and family can't work the street so put them in a safe place. We all know that there are a handful of officers doing the bulk of the work in OCD/Narcotics, the rest are just hiding.

You got info? Let it out and let him take the heat that he deserves. Somehow, a lot of my cases were reclassified long after I suspended them....without my knowledge. Anybody else have that happen? Why are sgt's reopening cases to change classifications? Stinks to high-heaven where I work, don't know about the other areas.

If u have friends in 012 ask them bout the whole day roll call getting written up for the same thing they do everyday. Ask them bout the 4 hr days the crossing guard supervisor does BTW a po who should b on the street lazy. Ask them bout the 4 timekeepers or the 20 spots on days for foot guys with weekends off.

Ditto on 012. It is a decent neighborhood to work in but the inside stuff negates it. There are so many officers hiding in administration it is not even funny. Not to mention, the blatant nepotism (assistant to the assistant time keeper/station foot post/ leave early officer.) We all had work midnights until we got some seniority. It is very bad for morale to have a class of officers who are exempt from this and neither their work effort or abilities justify any special treatment. Let the old guys/gals about to retire get the foot posts, necessary inside and desk spots, clean out the office and the rest of us are in the barrel with this squad program. Though we all play nice together since the merger, there is a general undercurrent of resentment that makes a once truly great place to work more difficult to do so than it has been in a long time.

By the time those poor kids get off probation and assigned to a District, they could be stuck in a dead end for the next 5-10 years.

Complaints about 012...

The scc award for worst acting in 2013.

just like the oscars you waited to release that thing just before the year ended so your comment would be remembered for its deserving place as the most not credible complaint on the blog all year.

012 is THE ABSOLUTE BEST DISTRICT LEFT IN TOWN.

Not kidding. Perfect mix of busy and not busy, all types, all shapes, all sizes, every type of backdrop, surrounding, access, food, entertainment, income, crime, quiet, educated, slummy, quiant, authentic...

I could go on but the merge of the two best districts and most really balanced neighborhoods in the entire town all centrally located. Man, it's like a cop movie or a classic cop tv show.

some great bosses, some dork bosses, some scared bosses.
some truly great cops worth emulating, leading by example, some people dressed as cops who are scared of pigeons.

it is GREAT. Bid. Use a phone call, cash in a favor. Get here. The more time on, the better.


signed,
city worker, not a cop.

If you know what your talking about " IE the ones questioning the logic of doing this after furlough picks and day off group change.... You would realize after each quarter/period change you will be able to bid to to a better watch if you have enough seniority. Your furlough will follow you once you picked it in the district you came from its entered in clear and automated check it out now you twit. If you can't understand that you should get retrained!


First of all you are the idiot. Let me give you some hard facts. If you bid to a district now and they put you on midnights in January you can be stuck there till next year. Do they have quarterly openings, sometimes yes sometimes no. It all depends on the commander if he posts it. Can he do this, YES, because no one will challenge him. I know this for a fact. The old commander in 011 did it all the time. So don't talk crap about you can bid quarterly to a different watch. If they don't open them up, or if no one move off the other watches you are stuck. Its a gamble. So yes the common sense question is why would they do this after we bid for watches. Only thing you can infer is they wanna screw with us. On the other hand if you wanna get out or 004 and go to 016 cause you live at Harlem and Touhy then you gotta do what you gotta do. You have no idea what you are talking about ass wipe.

I'm going to try, but I don't think 8 years is going to be enough time to get anywhere I'd like to go. (018,020) I'm sick of seeing all these coppers enjoying the "good life" while I'm stuck in a waste land. And then they have the nerve to come on a blog and complain. Some of these guys did there time, but a lot of them have been in a cushy district their whole damn careers! There should be some kind of rotation. Seems unfair.

12/15/2013 01:29:00 AM



If I had to guess you are a former suburbanite.... Kids are such pu$&ies these days. Rotation? You have 8 years on kid get back to work and leave the relaxing up to the guys with time on. Your too young to complain

12/15/2013 11:05:00 AM


Born and raised in Chicago. But I totally feel you on the suburbanite pu$&y thing... Seems like they are growing in numbers. If I had to guess you have been relaxing your entire career. Guys like you represent half of the department. 15-20 years on and it's all spent in places like 020 or 018. Or some cushy unit. I've been through more bs and done more work in 006 and 007 in the last 8 1/2 years than most people do in their entire career. And it'll prob be who knows how many more years before I get to sip my coffee and look at the ladies on Taylor st. or rush & division. You prob belong where you are now anyway. Real police work is harder these days. You and the rest of the guys/girls you "relax" with couldn't hack it.

Well we should all just bow the fuck down to you and all the work you have done. Seriously you should be given a parade, a statue, maybe a street named after you in honor of how safe you have made this city!! You KID are not the only copper in the world who has done work in the ghetto and had a to deal with BS. There are far better coppers out there who's only complaint isn't that they cannot get to 018 or 020with 8 years on. In fact the coppers you speak of with such disrespect with 15-20 years on, sitting around in cushy spots, more than likely have done more, seen more, and lost more than you! But you will never hear them speak or BRAG about it. That's what Real Police means. Grow up you child

These cops sitting around in cushy districts have more than likely seen and done more?? lol I don't know what department you work for. Some have... Some did their time. "More than likely"?? We all know that's not true. The good majority of people in cushy districts or units haven't done shit! How many of the officers that are in 020, 017, or 018 right now have worked in the ghetto?? Or done anything but write anov's and answer yuppie domestics?? The good majority???? Iol

"Those poor kids"? They are new hires and should be sent to certain districts. Worry more about the po's that have been in "bad" districts for 8 to 10 years and dont have enough seniority to bid to the northside.
Do you have any idea of how many of "those poor kids" will be sent to 001,018 20,and 016 the month before they get off probation and aren't subject to the contract.
"Those poor kids" will have come on the job and some spend the next 30 years in those districts, never having learned how to be a po while the unclouted get stuck in 7 or 011 for 8 to 10 years.
Dont worry about "those poor kids" the heavy ones will be in the front office or special cars and foot posts in the districts anyway

They, with no time on the job will be stuck in a dead end.
I have 10 years and am stuck in a dead end and have no chance of successfully bidding to 001 or 018, but some of those PPO's will end up in those districts in the bext few months.
Is that right?

How many genuinely bad m/fers has he ever gone eyeball to eyeball with in his charmed CPD existence?

He hasn't had two total seconds of hard time or adversity on this job in 25+ years.

Well fuck it... At least he's "smart," right?

Careful... He'll tattle if you hurt his feewings.

Your stats will get you merit? Good luck, keep believing that.
Forget your stats, you better just get a boss to put you in and a boss that doesnt owe too many favor or was told by his boss who to put in. Anyway, good luck, hope you make it.

That's what I say SCC. Typical department fucking with the troops. If they cared about moral they would have done this at least one month before watch bids. So if you bid out now you are stuck on whatever watch the district puts you on until Jan of 2015. The department proves us right every time and shit like this is why there is no trust.

12/14/2013 12:25:00 AM

No. There are quarterly bids. This is GOOD. a chance to move!!!

12/14/2013 09:17:00 AM

Boy some of you guys are a unrealistic bunch. Everyone has had to bid to a new district and get stuck on a watch they don't want for a short while even up to a year, sometimes less. It's called paying your dues. We all have to do it and it's no big deal. Think of the bigger picture, after watch openings occur you're back on the watch you want provided you have the seniority or activity to be on mgmt and all is fine again. I do not for the life of me understand this new generation that wants all the perks with no effort. Life is not like that.

Bid to the district you want, wait out the watch openings and you're home free. It's been done for many many years. You will survive. Don't miss the opportunity.

OT. Just a thought bout 012. I have been there my whole career 24 years. It was a good place until the merge. To the guy coming with 20 years u r not bumping my furlo so I want to give u sound advice. This squad program is screwed up. They changed the start times on every watch. Days is 0600 and 0700. 3rd is 1400 and 1500 and mids are 2200 and 2300. Now onto a few other points. If u have friends in 012 ask them bout the whole day roll call getting written up for the same thing they do everyday. Ask them bout the 4 hr days the crossing guard supervisor does BTW a po who should b on the street lazy. Ask them bout the 4 timekeepers or the 20 spots on days for foot guys with weekends off. Or about the special people on footposts that work upstairs. Again I'm sure the ghetto is worse I'm just saying the grass is not always greener on the other side.

12/15/2013 11:53:00 AM

012 is great. Sure there are inequities everywhere no matter where you work but it's how you spend your day and being with your coworkers that makes this job fun. I bid here in 05 it's been up and down but overall fun. Come on over!

You are the greatest Police Officer ever! Everyday you go out there and fight crime in the ghetto and you are sooo brave. You are faster than any other officer and catch all the bad guys in foot chases. In 8 short years you have completely shown up every officer in the CPD. One day you are going to be the big boss, the Superintendent and you are going to be the best at it. I can't believe they don't let you take a short break and go to another district after everything you have done for this department. Please know that I think you are great and those stupid lazy cops are just jealous of you! You are a hero!!! But you already know that.
