All Expense Paid Trip?

Where was this opportunity published?
  • What's with the special details made available only to the select few to work as assistant/observers?
    There are two groups preparing for out of town details. One for the Super Bowl in New Jersey and the other to Sochi's Winter Olympics in Russia, to monitor and observe security protocols.

    What were the requirements? Who decided who gets to go?
We don't have a domed facility or a stadium that meets the capacity requirements of a Super Bowl, so what's the purpose of sending anyone to New Jersey? 

We also think that Rahm learned from Shortshanks and understands the Olympic Committee isn't picking Chicago without a shitload more bribes than 'Shanks was willing to part with, so what's the point of sending anyone to Sochi?

Something smells funny here and it isn't just McCompStat's feet.

Going to base it on how many arrest you have. Lol if they did this 10% of the department would be in the mix. What a joke this department is, don't get me wrong it beats working for a living, however the promotions the incompetence of Supervisors cause there are very FEW leaders out there.
Last note. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Remind you don't need any box one arrest or CI's or warrants for gang enforcement division

Is it possible that this all originated at a very high level outside Cook Co? Perhaps it was suggested by a very powerful lady advisor, with the initials VJ? Only the best and most loyal will be picked.

Souldn't there be some kind of bidding process here. Is this a violation of our contract to select who gets this nice detail. I would call for our FOP to investigate but they are as corrupt as the slugs in city hall.

Chicago would make a much better site for a winter olympics...

wasn't there an olympics in Canada where most of the events were dreary and miserable due to comllete lack of snow or cold weather?

Matter of fact, why not a super bowl?

We should at least host one if our shitty ass team can't make it to one.

Where to start?

First off Chitown ain't ready for no Olympics...ever!
And it wouldn't be the Winter Olympics.

B. With the bullshit football facity known as Solider Field we will not be hosting the Super Bowl.

4. If by some miracle we were to land either event, anyone being sent to "observe" will be long off this job.

G. Wouldn't these officers be more useful on a Safe Passage route?

You can't base anything on amount of arrests. It should be based on amount of CONVICTIONS. Every time I'm in court i see wonder kiddies get red faced angry when the judge gives the "no pc" verdict but honestly, listen to the lame testimony and you can see why. Watching a "hand to hand" a block away will never get you a conviction. Can't get C.I.'s unless you're in GED so try something new like actually writing down what the person said, post miranda of course, of their admission and maybe your cases will hold some water. All i'm saying is, think further into the future with your arrests. No matter what the clueless bosses say, it's quality (convictions with time to serve) not quantity (No P.C.) that really matters. And yes, I am in GED and i went willingly when the move came. Well worth it ONLY because the schedule works for my family and no other reason because there are no more perks left on this job. At least i can be home for my kids which, in the end, is what really matters. Wish you all the best and stay safe, DRF

What's really amazing is that many officers spend personal money to attend classes because the city will not pay them.

But since they don't have clout, they pay. Also you would think the city might want to use the information they have gotten, guess again.

We can't host a Super Bowl here. The seating capacity at Soldier Field is about 62,000, one of the lowest in the league. The NFL has a Super Bowl seating minimum of 70,000 seats.

Hey kid, assuming you work in a faster district because you only have 5 years on the job, 70-100 arrests per year is nothing....it really is. Come back and complain when you start pushing between 150-200, and if you want to get on a tact team you have to go pimpy.

REQUIREMENTS:

Super lengthy...
nothing to do with activity.

Offers made first to highest seniority MFF who maintained medical certification and had already done the extended crowd control training for NATO.

But 20 spots remained open because the qualifications were a long list of conditions so they made calls first to anybody who worked NATO or either of the inaugural details or the convention.

Current valid passport, no medications, valid current physical and medical clearance (within 12 months).

No asthma, allergies, or any chronic condition as those chosen for Sochi were made aware that the town has little to no westernized access to medical resources.

Training would be short notice and paperwork due immediately, no luggage, no carry-on, all necessary travel gear to be provided upon arrival, including down to your toothbrushes.

Not even your badge, only passport, as intl. Police monitor designators and patches/uniforms provided.

American police will report to Ret. Col. U.N. Police Chief and former Port Authority Police Superintendent Michael A. Fedorko, Liaison to the Krasnodar Krai Police observers contingency, the special unit formed with a grant from the olympic committee to assist the city in which Sochi is located.

Absolutely no political emblems, pins, paraphernalia, or other accoutrement will be worn or visible, no outwardly visible tattoos, no make-up, or jewelry.

Russian laws are in effect and both the olympic athletic commissions and police monitor observers have been advised that no outward symbols or appearance of alternative lifestyle or political messages will be tolerated under penalty of respective local laws.

The U.N designated special missions website links to an olympic committee bulletin announcing this over a year ago, it's dated oct. 2012.
That's where the money seems to have come from and details updated to include the itinerary furnished to the police and transportation contractors like dyncorp, that are supplying other logistical support to handle emergencies for v.i.p's and athletes and their families.
Chicago, Washington D.C., and NYPD apparently staging their groups at JFK, to Rome, on to Volgograd, then an 18 hour train ride to Krasnodar before finally making their way to accommodations in the olympic village.

A total of 37 hours travel time.

There will be NO DAYS OFF allowed as the entire duration of the olympic games and related events will be considered on-duty.

Maybe that's why people were turning it down.
That's all I know. As it is, the forms I saw from this department said "do not print, disseminate, or otherwise copy"

Probably because they knew we'd read about it here...

Swat is one of the only legit testing units around. Very good chance of making it if you work hard at at it. Shoot shoot and workout. Points for everything.

The lt is ego maniac and on a power trip. He single handedly destroyed the unit. Hence all the openings. The don't do anything anymore except safe passage all day. There is a reason there are so many openings. Then change your schedule daily and there is no set work times.

They referred us to the original MFF order, and it says it was up to each officer to maintain certification.

I just assumed since we weren't called for anything all last year that it was over.
They should have kept everyone on notice that the on-call status was still active.

One of our Lieutenants who has done a few Police missions overseas heard about this mission as soon as sochi was chosen.
