Burglaries Up?
- An alderman warns homeowners and businesses about a rash of burglaries in his ward on the city's North Side. 44th Ward Ald. Tom Tunney says he is working closely with the 19th District police commander, and that the burglaries are happening during the day when people are at work.
Shattered shards of glass littered the floor. The front door was open. And from behind the counter of this sandwich shop, the cash register was ripped out and hauled away.
"My glass is broke and broke my register. I think $280 in my register," said Sangey Patel, store employee.
Burglaries, especially residential, are on the rise in the 44th Ward, which includes Lakeview.
Gee, this wouldn't have anything to do with the recent manpower issues covered by the Tribune where northside district are being stripped of officers, in direct contradiction of what Rahm has been spouting the past few years?
This same ward led the city in armed robberies (or had the greatest increase in armed robberies?) in 2013. An observer wiser than us would assume that criminals were preying on places that the police aren't. But that can't be true, because McCarthy said it isn't.

And all you folks in Lakeview have no man power coming your way anytime soon. High taxes & no service.
Good luck!
Although the recent "Burglary team" didn't do much but take up space the commander disbanded the entire team a few months back and instead gave them all special spots doing even less. Go figure. How about making a real burg team doing real police work not just talking care of the cryers that want days but don't have the time. One of the many reasons so many bosses and POs have transfered out of 019. Its unprecedented. No one wants to work there.
The 44th ward has the smallest decrease in overall crime (-9%) and the greatest increase in robberies (+70%) since 2007.

Took a great Burglary team and put them all back on the watch. Even 003 has a Burglary team. Genius!! Maybe your coffee car can solve all the Burglaries, seeing as they do nothing else.
Not sure if there is a correlation, but The Greek God Elias and Capt Looney Tunes dismantled the 019th Dist Burglary Team. These guys were pretty good at their trade, but due to manpower issues they are now checking on the homeless, writing ANOV's and answering to that idiot sergeant, 1970. I'm sure the residents that pay upwards of $15k in property taxes are pleased w /police service
The article you guys posted a day or two back stating Chicago had just a tad bit over 7,000 rand and file officers and sergeants meant just that right? Only 7,000 or so police officers work in Chicago? I legitimately was confused but didn't have the balls to ask. Anyway, if true: HOW THE HELL does a city of almost 3 million get by with only 7,000 police officers?
Fuckin retards......sorry, no offense.
Everyone thought the burglary team was doing exactly what they should. They locked up burglars, responded and covered alarm calls, suspicious person and auto calls, prowled the alleys and got activity; until they were disbanded so the cmdr and capt could have: a quality of life car that starts at 0400 and does nothing; a quality of life car that starts regular day hours and is the messenger car (cmdr's pals), a business sgt in addition to a caps sgt who both do nothing, 4 district admin people in addition to a plethora of civilians (as well as 2 review officers), a tact team put in uniform to write parkers and tow cars on Clark St - and they wonder why the burglaries and robberies are up? Open your eyes.
My niece and two of her "twentysomething" friends are done with Wrigleyville.
1 burglary, 2 car break-ins, and 1 got her ass grabbed by dude on the street at Southport/Addison.
They have an apartment lined up in Northbrook.
Back to the burbs....and get this, they're all now conservatives!
maybe the original members of the burglary team were decent but the most recent additions were useless. They did nothing but enjoy the early outs and complain when they had to be there late. 18 years between the two of them. Not enough time to make 3rd watch. I work midnights and barely see these two goofs out there at all. Don't worry big guy, you'll be back on 1st watch soon.
And all you folks in Lakeview have no man power coming your way anytime soon. High taxes & no service.
Good luck!

And these liberal, democrat morons will still vote for Rahm, and Obama if he could run again. They just don't get it. The people THEY continue to elect and support are responsible for this. Including the anti police mentality that permeates their minds. When crime didn't affect them, they didn't care, now reality has entered their lives and it's a problem. Piss off!!!! You made your bed, now sleep in it.....
When the Taxpayers move out, where does the tax money come from? Hello Detroit!!!!!
Area North Burglary team?!...........chirp....chirp
Don't blame the Commander,Captain,Supervisors,or the Officers working in 019. We take orders from 35th/Michigan, and City Hall.
Enough SAID!

My friend, most of the citizens in 019 don't give a damn. They feel they live in a special bubble and everything is fine.
If I were a career criminal, I would ply my trade in the north, northwest and southwest sides of Chicago.
There is ONE block in Lakeview with excessive manpower. Its good to live on THAT block.
Most of 016 is a burglar's paradise. Wide open with maybe a dozen cars to cover it all. Maybe the city can install burglar cams on our blocks?
Lets not forget the daytime robbery team that 019 had recently. Yep,so many robberies during the morning hours that its warranted. Some crazy thinking in 019.
It would be awesome, if Rahms house would be burglarized!
It won't happen there, when there is a dedicated crew just to watch his house, not your average citizen!
Average "Joe citizens" defend yourself!
Enjoy your property tax increase victims. Hahahahahaha!!!!!
The burglary team in the old 19 did a really good job and shouldn't have been disbanded. The stats are hard to argue with. There has never been a robbery team only an occasional robbery car. There should be one that works closely with the A/N dics

Lakeview ain't like the Souf Side; no ministers screaming how it be racist for black males to be killing other males and females with guns and all the poleese be up north.
Rahm finally gave them the police they be screaming about for years and guess what, they still kill each other real quick like. Rahm doesn't know the police and he doesn't know the beast. All Rahm knows is politics and bullshiting people.

Like an old commander of 019 once said, "You want to catch burglars? Go over to Illinois Masonic Hospital. The burglars are all over there with hernias from carrying the shit out the door."
Apparently, the north side taxpayers aren't sore enough yet from the screwing they've been receiving from the thieving and lying mayor and his yes-men. One of two things will happen- 1) They will begin to flood their aldercreature's office with complaints and MAYBE then something will change. 2) They will sell (which has already begun) and move out. If the taxpayers on the north side leave, the bulk of the city's revenue goes with it, as well as any attraction to live here. Don't forget- rahm has 2 cars guarding his house 24/7, a millionaire wasting city resources for his personal use. I doubt he will lose any sleep over the rest of the people being burglarized as long as his home is safe.
Robbery and burglary are a crime affluent people have to worry about. They are not the voting base for this Mayor and his Superintendent. Pay your taxes and shut up.
Homicides, gang bangers and dope dealers killing each other, are what they think their base cares about. This is the all that matters.

They don't know how it is. They are the producers. They pay so dude can be chased around by PPO's. Many nights Beat 1911 is down, no police car for my house. While dude has loads of police walking in a small box forbidden to leave. Anyone want to come steal? Hit 1911 and 1912, even when those beat cars are up they spend much time in east end of district. No sheepdogs to protect the sheep of 019. The sheep just complain when police shoot a dangerous animal in their back yard while they are showing little Justin the pretty mountain lion.

There are around 10,000-11,000 just not all are patrol blue shirts, they never are.
When the department had 13,000, some were detectives, some lieutenants, sgts, commanders etc. And a percentage don't do anything, never did anything and never will do anything.
The 80/20 rule still applies. 80% of the work is done by 20% of the workers.
Burglaries are up in 20 too. There's at least one, sometimes even two calls for burglary reps on 2011's bt EVERY DAY! Yet we have 2 unmarked cars that never get a call and leave early everyday. Meanwhile they put the beat car down on a "burglary mission" while he's 99. Great strategy there people! Of course, Henny Penny cannot be bothered with trivial bs like that because she is too busy with more important things - monitoring the radio sign-in log and checking the clock when officers come in for check off. Earning a six-figure salary to watch a clock! Unfking real

There must be pleny of manpower if they have a car checking on the homeless instead of answering calls
I'd like to see someone post the stats of the so-called former 019th dist. burglary team here . Lets see if the stats back the BS that being posted on this thread.
Burglaries are not homicides. In fact, its just all about the homicides. Tax payers do not get any police service. Specialized units only patrol minority neighborhoods. Whites are a minority in this city so I guess I ment minorities do not get police service.
I knew Elias during high school. I always thought that he would wind up washing dishes in a family owned diner. I cannot imagine him as the commander of a police district.
if i was in this community i would be furious with the alderman. i have family near there and had family come from this neighborhood. call the police more and more for everything and let it be known that police service is needed there much like everywhere else in the city. the city's police force is highly understaffed. put the pressure on these politicians. they will have to hire more or allow more overtime. this is inexcusable and it is up to the citizens to light the match and get the fire started up these aldermen and police bosses's asses.
It has to do with day tact teams disappearing like thieves in the night never to be seen or heard from again. I work 2nd watch in 019 and the idiot Tact Lt BS not only lets these 60-70 tactical warriors do nothing, HE ACTUALLY GETS ON THE RADIO AND REFUSES THE JOBS THE DISPATCHER ASSIGNS TO THEM!!! Talk about a profuse waste of manpower. There is hardly a need for one tact team in 019, let alone 5! Way to go EV, keep up the inefficiency!
Although the recent "Burglary team" didn't do much but take up space the commander disbanded the entire team a few months back and instead gave them all special spots doing even less. Go figure. How about making a real burg team doing real police work not just talking care of the cryers that want days but don't have the time. One of the many reasons so many bosses and POs have transfered out of 019. Its unprecedented. No one wants to work there.
2/08/2014 12:35:00 AM
as opposed to what? Giving spots to the 20 year wonders that troll the roll calls and do absolutely NOTHING but bitch and moan?? The ASShats that roll their eyes at a simple request to bring in as much as 1 or 2 contact cards?? That will SURELY get the burglaries down!!!
hate to admit it you have better police presence in 015 n 011
Manpower issues? Why, yes there are. And, the city, in order to save money hires back off duty officers and pays them premium pay. So, how does their plan effect the rank and file of the department. Yes, people make extra money to help with tuition and bills. But, the city saves a lot by not paying into our pension fund for the officers that we are short. The pension fund suffers and is losing money every month. It is great to have the extra cash, but I am wondering if some of the calls to boycott working overtime are not really out of place. By not working these extra jobs, it may force the city to hire more police officers to put more money into the fund. The pension funds of the Chicago Police and Fire Departments are the worst funded in the nation, even Detroit PD fund is on better financial footing. Our fund will be broke in 9 years and the mayor wants to suspend even more payments. Rough times coming.

Make a real burglary team with what, all the extra bodies there are on the watches?? Obviously, having common sense isn't a prerequisite for becoming the police.
EV can truly be one of the most useless commanders in the history of the CPD. But as long as princess Pappas and his old partner KM can get the front office coffee all is good. 80k a year times 2 to do nothing but get coffee.
Sure you had $280 in the register...

It's called doing more with less and crime is down. Pay attention when Rahm and Gary spew those lies!!! Sarcasm off
019 has NO manpower! McCarthy and Rahm lied when this merger took place and they continue to lie.
All the resources are being pulled into the one area of the district. Rahm and Mccarthy overpromised, lied or whatever to sell the consolidation. Taxpayers in Lakeview and Roscoe Village should be angry and stopping by Rahms house to see what service he gets while he claims crime is down and we have enough officers in the Police Dept. Anyone tired of the constant lying from Rahm?
LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES.....Jagoff rahmmie the commie and asshole mccarthy have done nothing but lie and engage in all manner of numbers fuckery while we here in 19(i am a resident) have to remain hyper aware 360 degrees if we go out after dark, especially btw 2330hrs and 0630hrs. even this current cold snap hasnt dampened shitheads fundraising activities, especially where COH, BYO and Crib are concerned. Asswipe/rahmmie-lackey aldercreature tunney endorsed the granting of a zoning variance for the BYO on Wellington over the objections of community groups that tried to work with the libtard enablers of the shitheads on a "good neighbor agreement" that ultimately the enablers found too labor-intensive for their tastes and ditched right before the zoning committee vote. I plan on working my ass off for whoever is going to run against Tunney/rahm next cycle and if none of my neighbors do and the city is stuck with these jagoffs AGAIN, i will either move to either Berwyn or Texas and have no sympathy for those i leave behind. Hell, i may even convert to Judaism and move to Israel as a returned jew. No hurricanes, lotsa nice beaches and its a sure bet i'll never have rahm a neighbor as he's too chickenshit to move back there. Yeah theres terrorists, but unlike hurricanes, you can shoot terrorists. peace brutha.
This is way too close to my pretty loft.
Please protect me. I am scared.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Been there for 3 COs. Rosebrock, Kenny, and now Eli. Nothing against any of them personally, but not one if them has been able to get a grip on the robbery problem in 019.
Mike Ryan abused his power when he was there by placing his very own rendition of punishment to POs over the safety of the community. As long as he was texting MBS to make sure partners were split up, start times were altered, and a general fear developed for "Iron Mikes" whacked out managerial aim(or lack there of)robberies were going to increase.
On Belmont from Sheffield to Clark there needs to be a mass CPD Presence so the criminal wont view his actions w/out consequence.
no new police, 019 down over 30% and Burglary mission team disbanded, now they are scrambling making a tact team focus 100% on that and night time robberies!! Sinking ship!
Also to the uninformed goof, 90% of the former burglary team in 019 was bid spot on days, NOT mgmt don't speak until you know facts, now go get your shine box you moron.
Hate to admit it you have better police presence in 015 n 011
2/08/2014 11:44:00 AM
Yes, I have seen a BIG police presence in North Austin for the past year and a half or so. It seems murders are going down a lot, but it also seems like robberies are picking up. I'd like to thank you guys for the heavy police presence we really do appreciate it!
Homeland being stripped of coppers while the ghetto gets more, the animals and savages have ravaged for years no super hero has ever stemmed the time, the city via vri is just throwing more cash at the situation, which solves nothing, hope McCarthy and rahm go to church and thank God for the extreme weather, stop patting themselves on the back, when weather breaks the Chicago show "when animals attack" will be back in full production!
Crime might be going up.....
Manpower may be going down.....
But every June we throw a hell of a parade.
Thanks idiot taxpayers.

Thats not what it said. Said 7,000 in patrol another 5000 in detective division and units, Total sworn is a little over 12,000 and thats a fact, so cut the 7,000 BS
Bottom line is 019 and 023 should have NEVER merged. Very bad management decision and the citizens should be furious of the lack of police manpower and presence in "their hood".
Burglary reports are all done by 311 and no scenes are processed. Burglar's have a field day with little chance of getting caught!
Districts (other than the merged ones) are down 30-40% in manpower since 2000,,,,,no excuse for that.
Russia learning from McNumbers:
“Sure there were stab wounds and bruises all over the body,” admits the lead investigator on the case, “But who knows what caused them. Maybe he tripped and fell on a set of knives. Right now we’re ruling this an accidental death.

No, everything I stated that was in the article posted by SCC was correct its only a couple posts down . It clearly said 7,078 rank and file officers.in Chicago AND I CLEARLY said I was confused by that statement.
Maybe a stupid question from a retired dick.
If the new 019 has 5 tac teams, what do they do ? Do they have 4 guys starting at 0700 hrs on weekdays to work the patten of break in's.
In the old day's, Tac guys got part ones everyday and when they got a narcotic arrest, there was some weight.
Not too many dogs working tac in the old days. Produce or hit the watch ! Period. Eli needs to make some changes with his management in the tac unit. Change is good when homes are getting hit after the owner is paying 10 plus in RE taxes. Lakeview has become a shit hole with all the mutts taking easy picking.
Shame of 35 street !!

The Lakeview voters got the change they voted for.
The shame starts at City Hall.
Did a brief stint in 019, wasn't for me. However, just for your info...Pappas worked in 007 for at least 5 years, and has done more than most coppers have done in 10 years in 019.

Yeah more lies to the public. They did not make a burglary team again. They are simply making a tact team work a "burglary mission" every other month until the Cubs start. Then they will be back on Clark street on midnights again. The commander and blowhard tact LT. have been fucking these guys that merged from the old 019 so much that they could care less and have no motivation to do anything. The leaders in 019 are the anti-morale. Playing favorites like no other. Thanks for still being so kind since the merge which was over two years ago assholes!

Exactly what the people in 019 have been saying.
I work 019 2nd watch and we all have to admit the Burglary team did a pretty good job, with the exception of 2-3 coat riders. It's a shame that the bosses can't admit they made a mistake and let them get back to work. They were good at what they did and we know damn well that the crack team can't and won't! Swallow your pride and also there's one question Commander/Captain sir, How can you drop a team that makes you look good?
