District Vacancies
Good news north siders! Openings in 016 and 017 - 4 each. That's 1.33 extra officers per watch! Unless one goes to the Tact team, then it's only 1 per watch.
Even 008 had 5 openings.
Oh, and the usual plethora of less-than-desirable assignments litter the south side:

There also appear to be around 50 sergeant openings, but we're told that's a contract thing for assignments.

1 sergeant opening posted in 051 Midway get your par forms and phone calls in!,
Hopefully Billy D. puts in a par form after the election and Mark D. can ask Fran Hurly if he can be her driver. DUMP THESE TWO!

You dont know how lucky your are if you happen to be in a decent district. I have been trying to bid out of my hell hole for months.

Is it true that in working VRI you are instructed to drive in a two square block area and not make street stops, responding only to observed or reported crime, visibility being the primary goal?

Said the ppo in 016.
Looks like the recently promoted sergeant and LT's going to11 came straight off the merit clout list. More resume padding before going to their units, but their claim to fame will be that they worked in 011.
welcome to midnites for the rest of the year if you come up north unless you get on the phone with your chinaman--- plenty of drunken baracho 99b's that have to be handled before you can pull out the pillow and comforter around 0500....
003 is so F***ed from the confused D/C to the Feds that surveil the district personnel.
WHO are the black fop candidates?
Take it easy 5 year wonder tac bitch, I worked the west side for over 10 years, now I'm on the north side, don't be so quick to judge. One day you will wake and ask yourself,why the fuck am i still working in this shithole, with these animals? Why am I giving GREAT police service to these criminals and leeches of society? So stfu!!!!!! I laugh at naive "believers" like you....
Dean Angelo's group came into our roll call and claimed anyone could send the letter. Passed out Lexus Nexus letter that they claimed that anyone could send the letter. But when you read what they passed out it talks about knowledge of action not being done. The board was kept in the dark until after the action was suppose to be taken. If someone is passing out this misinformation before they are elected, what will they do if they get elected? I'm voting for Dougherty, but not everyone on his team.
No new vacancies in District 19 despite losing 25% of our police force in the last 2 years?!? Add a 77% increase in robberies for the 44th ward in 2013 vs. 2007 the most out of the entire city. Only 6/50 wards in the city have gone up since with 44th being the highest. As they say on Shark Tank...."And for this reason, I'M OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did the new LT & SGT end up

Me too! I just got off probation in January now I'm stuck in 005! I did my time, I want 17 days! This is bullshit!
Diamond girl should be happy she got to go back to her old stomping grounds in 017! I know she was trying like hell to come back to 20- sorry, we have no openings for captain's snitches. They were eliminated after Capt F. (aka lunch lady Doris) left!
WTF? No opening in 007? I was looking into working in the 7th district. I hear that is where "the real police" are at.
Of course I am joking/sarcastic. If I hear one more time about how "the real police officers" are only in busy districts, I am going to puke.
016 has 4? That doesn't even cover any of the retirees. Sub-standard police service for a district whose residents pay a high % of the taxes.
Hopefully Billy D. puts in a par form after the election and Mark D. can ask Fran Hurly if he can be her driver. DUMP THESE TWO!

Who are you backing? You probably think its a good idea to elect a disabled guy who has been working a six figure job for years at the diploma mill Cal College of St. Joe,while collecting a disability pension from our badly underfunded pension fund. We'll be the laughing stock of the country.
Ahhh, real police work on the south side. Your a real hero. I bet 25 yrs ago when you were playing with hot wheels, and loosing teeth for the tooth fairy us north side coppers were working gang crimes flying around Englewood, the west side, housing sweeps, etc.... But now we're north side coppers who ain't the police ........yea, enjoy your time in the ghetto kid, case the only way north is seniority and obviously you ain't got and you ain't gonna get it any time soon. So in a couple yrs when I'm in Florida, retired, after working all over the city you'll still be enjoying the ghetto........oh and stay safe ;)

Seriously? "Real" police work? What would that be exactly? locking up people who will get locked up again and again in order to be released again and again? Getting into a chase and almost killing yourself, your partner, another p.o. or a civilian for that wonderful two rock case? Hey DUMMY, been there and done that. Don't you have a clue in that little brain of yours that allot of us started off where you are and learned that it's the same old circus with different clowns and that it will never change? After a few years it becomes clear that there are greener pastures in neighborhoods where actual human beings live that have their share of garbage and you can actually make a difference. Don't get me wrong, I had fun but eventually chasing 15 - 25 year olds for killing their own people is a fruitless endeavor that just ends up getting YOU hurt, making YOUR BOSS look good and you on the stand as "THE ACCUSED". No thanks pal, that's why they send you rookies there, to do "the real work" that us "old timers" know is just garbage detail. I only have fifteen years on and know better but i guess i'm an idiot in your eyes. That's fine but i'll be the idiot seeing retirement instead of getting an honorable handed to me in one hand along with a lawsuit handed to me with the other hand. Keep it, it's all yours cowboy.
Ok let's break this down then
003 - 10 openings - Lemmer = Hell no!
004 - 10 - Shithole.
005 - 10 - Shithole.
006 - 05 - Shithole with a decent northeast end.
008 - 05 - Half a shithole.
016 - 04 - 4 bosses kids needed a spot.
017 - 04 Never heard a good thing about it.
Soooo, basically nothing good.
I've worked in 008 and I work in 003. 003 suits me just fine.
Got my Pension watchdog Team letter in the mail today. This letter is filled with the most bullshit out of all the campaign material I have received so far. The second sentence of this letter is "We are a group of independent candidates that rather than working for a single candidate for president, will work for each of you, the members of the FOP". This is the second sentence and a total lie. Denis Doherty, Al Jaglowski, Rich King, John Lipka, Mike Underwood, William Burns and Dan Shields have a track record of voting with former President Mike Shields to pass every illegal motion this current board of directors has approved. Lipka, Underwood and Doherty were the hand-picked by Shields to sit on the committee to hear the charges against him that he did not send the retro letter in on time. He admitted he did not send the letter in on time and this hand-picked committee still found him not guilty. How is this NOT working for a single candidate when they were working for and voting with Shields on every illegal motion? A vote for any of the people listed in this post is like saying I'm ok with losing my retro. Nothing but lies and all of these people should be run out on a rail. Take money from my pocket and tell me you’re looking out for me, I don't think so.
When is the next Sgt class from the old list and how many?

You're my hero! You must be a wizard when it comes to handling domestics & dope..... and when the City beckons for someone to make all those really difficult notifications after a shooting, well thank God you're the real police, cause no one else could handle that. I'm glad someone is dumb enough to stay in the ghetto, spin in circles, and police those who hate you, and don't want you there, trying to get you jammed up at every turn. Let me clue you in on something, NO ONE is impressed. Do your time and leave those forsaken neighborhoods. Signed, North side cop formally of the West side.
South side? We have plenty of openings south of the border here. Send me your resumes (& some $) & I'll process yor apps. (g-men need not apply)....

No democrats , no crime .
Where can I find the FOP political endorsements?
I received a letter from the Pension Watchdog Team. Seems like they have aligned themselves with Dean Angelo. But, the interesting part is that most of the guys on this team ran with Mike Shields including his brother Dan. These are the board members that allowed Mike Shields to destroy our union. I work in 018 and Dan Shields has told people his brother Mike is coming back. Is Dean Angelo bringing Mike back into the office. Think twice everyone when those ballots come out. Why are the Shields boys hooking up with Dean?

Well somebody has been listening. 12 people are getting launched from the academy heading back to their districts. We could really use the help in 007. Maybe we can get a weekend off now and those people can work Saturday and Sunday.
Regarding the recent death of the detective in 014 why aren't our stations equipped with AUTO EXTERNAL DIFIBRULLATORS and some station staff trained to use them. In my 30 yrs I knew at least 6 officers who died in police facilities. Christ, every hole in the wall health club has them. Lets try (FOP) to do this
Please stop whining about coppers working VRI... The city hasn't had a mass hiring in years, we have been short handed po's for over 10 years now. VRI has only been here for almost two years now. You idiots sound like a broken hater record already. I will continue to work VRI as long as it lasts, you should start working it too and open a few IRA's up and make your money work for you instead or crying about it on a blog.,,
Got the Shitywide letter in the mail today. They won't let us lose the retro pay ever again. Whew
Thanks city wide team for your mailer that I received today, now I know who NOT to vote for!

2/08/2014 03:33:00 PM
You all are full of shit if you don't MAX out on deferred (457k) as soon as you can in your career. That INCREASES in value through the years' not like that expensive new car which DECREASES in value from the moment you drive it off the dealer's lot.
You young guys, jeez, sitting here on an anonymous blog calling each other names. Meet at a gym with a boxing ring and go a few rounds and see how feisty you feel after that. You might be the one that saves that other guy's life some day.
And all that 457k money grows tax deferred. No taxes to earn it and no taxes on it's gains or on the gains on the gains, it is the best deal going for us. You have to be a full time trader with some real investing smarts to beat that. Just put it in a low fee index fund and forget about it until a year before retirement, than start changing it over to fixed.
The sooner a cop can learn to be happy driving used cars and living in a cheap house the better off he/she will be come retirement day. I've known plenty of people who have to go get shit security jobs upon retirement because they liked to piss money away.
Off topic. I just received a mailing from the citywide team. The envelope was empty. Take from that what you will.

That will happen when the cheapskate City gets someone to contribute enough to buy them for us. Fucking cheap deadbeat City had to get contributions, pass the hat, for the first time they gave us vests.
But they have them at O'Hare Airport, because every other airport has them and probably they get Federal money to buy them.
here's an idea, or a suggestion.....seems like a lot of hate, or animosity, between those who work in north side districts and those work on the west or south side,so......
a) anyone assigned to work in west or south side districts (to be discussed), receives a salary bonus (10K-20K?) over regular salary...
b) shift differential for everyone is eliminated, everyone working 3rd watch gets an extra 5% on base salary, everyone on 1st watch gets 10% extra (prorated, obviously, if they change shifts)......2nd watch, nothing extra......

Are you that insecure about how you are currently perceived on this job? Is it your own fault? If you are a worker why even respond, unless you truly are a POS. Maybe thats it.
If you say you don't care, why did you respond?
Stop working VRI.
Your Pension depends on it.
The old special employment at CTA, CHA, DUI Checkpoint,Etc did not have the negative effect on OFFICER SAFETY and PENSION FUNDING like VRI Does.

(OT) ok when does the debate for top fop slots start? Talked to slate 7 vp and citywide candidate both said they would be willing to debate to help membership decide who is the best man for the job. No response from dean Angelo's team, btw who is running as independent? The debate if all agree to finally man up would be held at the fop hall, we could charge entrance fee maybe $10.00 each which would be donated to gold star families and we could ask Father Brant to moderate to prevent the immaturity of the mob mentality "want to go out in the alley" after all these guys are getting paid huge salaries president $210,000 the Vice Presidents $160,000 + expense accounts and 75% pension of fop salary further draining the depleted pension fund! These votes are to important to waste, debate would show who would be the best!
An important question buddy from city hall told me that if the fop hierarchy Doherty dimaria and the rest who have been working out contractural matters are voted out that rahm would be able to start all over from day 1, delaying the contract even going to arbitrator, allowing the city to save millions. Is this rahms devilish plan? Is this accurate? Tune in again same bat time same bat channel!
Btw why no woman acceptable to be on top of any ticket? Maybe because a woman would intimidate rahm? Look at how Karen Lewis Cps union chief made rahm shake? A woman's scorn would possibly turn things around maybe! " u have our number call us maybe?"
19-20 yrs to get days in 017 looks like thats going to change. Midnights here they come
Face it all the choices suck. But anybody that backed Fran Hurly should be taken to the woodshed and summarily dismissed as incompetent. Worse yet they did not look out for us members but the political friends they really serve, not backing a policeman. They turned their backs on us. DUMP BILLY AND MARKY.
When confronted at their once every three year district tour to NOT take responsability for their incompetence, and blame Shields, Bill Gram stated he once ran for office and the FOP didn't back him either. He went on to say he knew he couldn't win but only ran to make a statement. Well Bill, we don't need you to show up every three years and make statements. We need people that fight to win against the odds not your defeatist attitude. Or are you just a mouth piece that ran to split the vote and keep the machine in place?

So your jealous bitch ass got her wish right? Just because you couldn't make it to the police academy you post nonsense on this blog and now some good people are going to be launched out of the academy. I hope you are super happy since you got your wish. This is a prime example of what is wrong in our department. I remember last year in my district I got a nice assignment. In my ten years on the job I never bothered anyone and I always treated people right. However, some people got jealous of my plum assignment and caused all sorts of havoc on my professional life. I lost my nice assignment but in the end if this is how people want to live their life then so be it.

You hit the nail right on it's head- a boss will hand you a honorable with one hand and an indictment with the other. When the big boss is asked to support you when you get sued they never and I mean never support the officer. Rather, the very same boss who gushed after all of your great arrests is the first one to gain distance from you. Yep, I have experienced that first hand.

I love reading the hater comments about the only working coppers are on the south and west sides.
I'll give you a fact hairgel---99% of the coppers in the slower districts started out in West and South Side fast districts.
Someday, you'll bid out too when you get the seniority--just like I did.

Crazy conspiracy theory here but maybe the reason they have AEDs at Ohare is because a former dept of aviation city employee started a aed company after leaving city employment and has a multi million dollar contract to supply such to airport. Also company has a executive member who is Russian and attended a university at same time as a son of a mayor. Or maybe it is all coincidence and also original post and response is not a push by a company which provides aeds to get a contract for all city facilities.
All you guys love your Job,guaranteed check,as long as you don't get fired,pension down the road ,if it recovers,nice disctricts,shitty districts,good officers,jealous officers,kind officers,assholes,they don't call it work for nothing,enjoy it while your there because,after 27 yrs,glad I'm gone and sorry I stayed so long,there is another life out there,just make it to retirement and you'll see!

Dear SCC,
I received my mailer from the Citywide Team today and a funny thing happened. The letter from Bill Dougherty had the union bug on the mailer, however the biography's of all their Citywide candidates did not have the union bug emblem. So another slick move in which the membership "will never notice". Bill just a word of advice. If your the interim "acting President" running for the office of President, spend the penny and have the entire mailer done by a union shop with the union bug printed on your entire mailing. Not just the letter that you write "union" and the xerox insert "NOT UNION". I am just saying members like myself did notice and I am sure other members will too after reading this. I mean after all we are a union. Well kind of if you want to call it that.
I feel sorry for all you guys that post shit about Wiberg and Cline. Wayne made it off the list he's a sharp guy and he is the police. Matt was made but he was a solid and sharp copper when he was in 11. I remember when he was a new guy and worked with Swain. Swain who is a good copper and showed him the right way. I'd rather see him made then guy's who have never been the police.

Obviously when you withdraw money later on, such as at retirement, that money is taxed as regular income. One key advantage of 457 plans over 401k plans is that you do not have to pay any penalty if you take the money out simply because you are leaving your job
Also its either a 457b or 457f. There is no such thing as a 457k.

At one point the I think the department thought they were going to get these things, because the old watch commander log had a checkbox for 'AED operational'. I have no idea if the new DSS logs have that box or not. Funding or clouted suppler must have fallen through.
You know, $1200 each * 23 districts = 27600 dollars. lots of money right? Thats only about 1 days worth of VRI salary for all coppers that are working it.
Said it before wayne deserves it...worked for it.... Very intelligent and now shut your fucking jealous lazy ass mouth.

The only reason you had CTA, CHA, and DUI was because the city didn't want to expand Public Transportation, Public Housing, and Traffic Enforcement. If they did they would have to hire more police officers to replace the ones they took from the districts. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard for working straight time at CTA while providing the city with an opportunity to circumvent pension responsibilities. For whatever reason in your fucked up world you believe the city is going to pay their portion of the pension bill for x number of new po's when they won't even pay what they owe now. I have never heard one copper in person call people who work VRI scabs or have said a bad thing about VRI. That leads me to believe that these scabs comments are coming from a small group of simple minds who have somehow deduced that working CTA, CHA, or DUI is in morally superior to working VRI. I know I just blew your mind, it's okay we know it happens to you often.

Seriously? "Real" police work? What would that be exactly? locking up people who will get locked up again and again in order to be released again and again? Getting into a chase and almost killing yourself, your partner, another p.o. or a civilian for that wonderful two rock case? Hey DUMMY, been there and done that. Don't you have a clue in that little brain of yours that allot of us started off where you are and learned that it's the same old circus with different clowns and that it will never change? After a few years it becomes clear that there are greener pastures in neighborhoods where actual human beings live that have their share of garbage and you can actually make a difference. Don't get me wrong, I had fun but eventually chasing 15 - 25 year olds for killing their own people is a fruitless endeavor that just ends up getting YOU hurt, making YOUR BOSS look good and you on the stand as "THE ACCUSED". No thanks pal, that's why they send you rookies there, to do "the real work" that us "old timers" know is just garbage detail. I only have fifteen years on and know better but i guess i'm an idiot in your eyes. That's fine but i'll be the idiot seeing retirement instead of getting an honorable handed to me in one hand along with a lawsuit handed to me with the other hand. Keep it, it's all yours cowboy.

Why are you offended?I think what he means is why are they assigning PPO's to 18,17,20,24,16 ?I get it your a northsider nobody wants to drive to 005 from 016 but 15 and 11 are perfectly fine for these kids to learn.Nope we have kids in the northside that literally haven't done shit.Pay your dues and make a bid nobody is bashing guys that put in work and have seniority and make a move.But we coddle the fuck out of our recruits that's why they are so soft.They need to learn every aspect of the job at a fast pace and maintain composure hate it or love it these shitholes will test these kids.
I LOVE VRI AND VRI LOVES ME....and for the haters hug your kids and then hug these Paid VRI nuts
here's an idea, or a suggestion.....seems like a lot of hate, or animosity, between those who work in north side districts and those work on the west or south side,so......
a) anyone assigned to work in west or south side districts (to be discussed), receives a salary bonus (10K-20K?) over regular salary...
b) shift differential for everyone is eliminated, everyone working 3rd watch gets an extra 5% on base salary, everyone on 1st watch gets 10% extra (prorated, obviously, if they change shifts)......2nd watch, nothing extra......
Or not!
Well somebody has been listening. 12 people are getting launched from the academy heading back to their districts
...KM or did LT Daddy call again for princes
....Gym staff too? some have been there for Over 10 Yrs!!!! 10 Yrs

Cause it's safe to type away insults towards fellow officers. And i'm speaking of the fake tough guys comparing South/West side work compared to "slower" Districts. The Police with time on the job need to explain to these kiddies that while they sit in the ghetto bitching and moaning about this dept and how unappreciated and great they are, more experienced ones now work in the slower areas protecting their homes and families. The beast has invaded those areas and while there isn't a dope spot on every corner (yet) the threat is still there. The young guys running around the hood right now and running their mouth will one day be sitting in 016 with a different view. Its a cycle and they need to hear the criticism in order to have respect for the guys who once worked the very same ghetto they now think they own.
19-20 yrs to get days in 017 looks like thats going to change. Midnights here they come

Please stop whining about coppers working VRI... The city hasn't had a mass hiring in years, we have been short handed po's for over 10 years now. VRI has only been here for almost two years now. You idiots sound like a broken hater record already. I will continue to work VRI as long as it lasts, you should start working it too and open a few IRA's up and make your money work for you instead or crying about it on a blog.,,

Or...wait your turn; get some time on the job.
Suddenly the young-uns want extra $$ for something every officer with more time on did without.
Saw Billy Doughertys puff piece in the Sun Times yesterday, a paper owned by Rahm Emmanuel. Remember all that bull about Shields being in bed with Rahm," because his Father had a security business that had a security contract for a couple off duty coppers that he got 25 years ago and this Iron company gave a thousand dollars to Rahm's war chest now 25 years later". That some how according to Bill D meant that the President he got booted out via Ted Street and Kevin Graham were in " bed with Rahm". And you coppers believed it. After reading that "interview" with Bill Dougherty in his home by one of Rahm's mouth pieces at the Sun Times, even a blind man can see who really is the person or party in bed with Rahm. I don't know who to vote for but it sure won't be Rahm's obvious choice, Bill Dougherty.

So tired of this battle between the shitty districts and the slower ones. I work in a west side district. Been there for a long time. The reason I stay is because I get good furlos and can be on any watch I want. These morons that post shit on the blog about being the "real police" because they work west or south are the same ones running around the station telling anyone who will listen about the "great pinch" they just got when they found some dope on guy that ran. Believe me, those people are a joke around here too. At least once a month we also have people getting court notifications to report to corp. counsel. They just don't get it. Those of us that have been here for more than 5 minutes get it and we don't pay attention to these self proclaimed superheroes. Please just ignore them. They will start to understand when they get hit with punitive damages and/or (God forbid) get seriously hurt. Everyone with a brain in their head on this job knows that it's not WHERE you work, but HOW you work that makes you the "real police".
I feel sorry for all you guys that post shit about Wiberg and Cline. Wayne made it off the list he's a sharp guy and he is the police. Matt was made but he was a solid and sharp copper when he was in 11. I remember when he was a new guy and worked with Swain. Swain who is a good copper and showed him the right way. I'd rather see him made then guy's who have never been the police
Former 153
Tuffy
Can't argue about WW, but cline may have been a good copper but he was a shit Sgt. There are dozens of others sgts that are more qualified but their last name isn't cline.

Obviously when you withdraw money later on, such as at retirement, that money is taxed as regular income. One key advantage of 457 plans over 401k plans is that you do not have to pay any penalty if you take the money out simply because you are leaving your job
Also its either a 457b or 457f. There is no such thing as a 457k.
2/08/2014 11:03:00 PM
I am calling mine a 457k because that is what I always called it and I don't give a shit what anyone says. It's my 457k. I call a City Sticker violation a 29-2 like I did 30 years ago. And I use Vitalis in my hair.
I know working vri is good money and that some coppers really need it but in the long run we are only hurting ourselves. When crime was the top thing being reported on a daily basis is exactly the time everyone should have stopped working vri. That was tHe power of the patrolman but they dangle a little $ in front of us and we cave because some are greedy and some really need it. The politicians would have been forced to play ball with us and we could have used that to our benefit with contract negotiations and even with the pension reform issue. Here's some friendly a advice. The next time something happens in Chicago that could benefit our members (like NATO, ever increasing violent crime, etc.) we need to stick together to get what we deserve (a fair contract, fair wage increase, fully funded pension, up to date and working equipment, proper manpower, and some respect).

Regarding the recent death of the detective in 014 why aren't our stations equipped with AUTO EXTERNAL DIFIBRULLATORS and some station staff trained to use them. In my 30 yrs I knew at least 6 officers who died in police facilities. Christ, every hole in the wall health club has them. Lets try (FOP) to do this
------------------------
Every district is supposed to have these. Whether they actually made it to any district or not is anyone's guess. I've never seen them but they were listed on the old watch commander's log.

Hey, Tuffy! Is this one of the moves that Swain taught Matt Cline while showing him the "right way"? http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/01/09/chicago-man-sues-after-cops-allegedly-tortured-him-and-raped-him-with-a-gun/ The truth is that clout gets to all of their heads at some point, and it is precisely at that point that they give us all a bad name. How hard is it to keep your weapon from entering another man's ass on this job? F*ck Matt and Phat Phil.
Need more police in the home front !! #016, I work out south and it's unbelievable how much police presence these animals get!!!! Let the mutts kill them selfs I say... Need MORE police in #016 before it really gets out of hand... All POs need to protect the area where they live and fuck the rest!!!!!

When you retire don't come back to the blog crying about how the 9% you have contributed to the pension for the past 25 years is gone, after all you'll have all those IRA's. You are helping Rahm take your own money away from you. So after you calculate how much you lost from the 9% pension contribution you're working vri for about $15.00 per hour. Mr IRA definitely not Mr CPA.

Experience: 5 FOP meetings so they are eligible to run for office. We elected the same experience level last election and what did that cost us??? 1 year of retro at the very least. Start looking for candidates that were watch of unit reps and have some experience instead of people like our current president Shields who had 5 FOP meetings as his experience with FOP we elect him on the promise of 80% pension after 20 years. Don't fall for the bullshit and no experience otherwise we will play into the citys hands again for another 3 years. There are 2 current regimes in office right now, those who voted with Shields and those who voted against him. Do you homework before you vote it's your future.

Is it true then that the Pension Watch Dogs are teaming up with Dean Angelo and have agreed that if they should win Mike Shields is being brought back?
Everyone should note that Dan Shields is on the Pension Watch Dog Group and also many of the Shields supporters is on that team also. Yes they have agreed to bring Mike back as an inside guy again.
Dennis Doherty
Ken Hauser
Allen Jaglowski
Rick King
John Lipka
William Burns
Mike Underwood and last but let's not forget
Dan Shields
If this is what you want go for it. These are some of the most definite reasons why our past President Shields was able to get away with all that he did.
Who are you backing? You probably think its a good idea to elect a disabled guy who has been working a six figure job for years at the diploma mill Cal College of St. Joe,while collecting a disability pension from our badly underfunded pension fund. We'll be the laughing stock of the country.
2/08/2014 09:02:00 AM
Can anyone explain why Dean Angelo is running for President, he walks unassisted able to shoot, full time professor, and when he was in the FOP years ago ask him again about the use of our credit cards and the parties that we paid for. When he asks if there are any questions please ask some of the above. I think a person who is able to work a full time job should be able to handle something on the job. Shameful that this money he is accepting is coming out of our pockets and depleting our pension fund.
Plebanski for president. You've got to be fucking high. This goof came to my roll call and thought we were so stupid he had to explain that his doctorate didn't mean he was a real doctor. He went on to say we should call our personal physicians and not him if we get sick. What a moron.
There are a couple of bits of misinformation that keep getting posted.
Someone keeps posting that the FOP reps receive pensions based on their FOP salaries. I didn't believe this was the case so I called the pension board to verify this and was advised they only receive a pension based on their CPD salaries. If you don't believe me, you can verify this too by calling them at 312-744-3891.
Someone also keeps posting that Fran Hurley and Cunningham somehow screwed us with their votes on pension reform. That legislation had no impact on us in any way, shape, or form. They both spoke at the last town hall meeting and assured the participants they would not support any legislation that would negatively impact police officers. They also stated they were educating the other legislators of the differences between the state pensions and our pension.
You know all of you guys with all of your negative comments make me sick. Fast districts vs slow districts. I'm a better copper than you. Who gives a fuck? I thought we were all coppers. We should all be on the same side. Any civilian who reads the shit you post must think we are all a bunch of fucking retards.
Shame on you all.
No, offense SCC, but you and your predecessors used to offer a forum to allow coppers to vent against bosses and a department they thought was unfair with a little humor thrown in. Now, you allow posts which pit coppers against coppers and people to post supposed "facts" without any verification of them. I know it's your blog, but why allow this shit?
Experience: 5 FOP meetings so they are eligible to run for office. We elected the same experience level last election and what did that cost us??? 1 year of retro at the very least. Start looking for candidates that were watch of unit reps and have some experience instead of people like our current president Shields who had 5 FOP meetings as his experience with FOP we elect him on the promise of 80% pension after 20 years.

Hate shields just as much as the next guy. But this was never a campaign promise. I should know. I campaigned with him.

Shouldn't a sgt be doing this job Arent they trained to manage people This would free up at least 20 pos to join with the other pos who push the squads and never get CU or a weekend off
running for President, he walks unassisted able to shoot, full time professor, ...and He is related to Blago maybe that's why
Gold braid and disability pension needs to be changed.
People on disability pension should not receive more than 50% of a 5 year police officer salary with no future increase . Many officers work , attend school , vacation and have no desire to return to work . If officers want 75% let them report for duty in commanders office or as a 3rd watch desk officer.

Get yourself elected to something and try to make policy. How many officers stealing disability money have you turned in? How much have you recovered for the City of Chicago? Or is anonymous blogging the extent of your activism? "Yeah, somebody ought to do something..."
006th District has become a shit hole, Waller and his administration sucks balls. Evident when officers are bidding out to 003 and 005? Geez!
