Sell Back - Hard Check
From the comments:
- FAX message is out:
Sell back days will be in the form of a check.. available for pick up after 0900 from 35th street.
Payroll is fucked up probably because they were overworked from adding up the sergeant's retro last week.
That makes three recent checks that have been hard checks instead of direct deposit:
- Sgt DSS Grievance;
- Sgt retro;
- department sellback
Anyone else getting a funny feeling about this? Direct deposit means everyone gets their money at once. A hard check on a Friday afternoon means most people aren't going to be depositing it until the following Monday. Even if they got it to the bank on a Saturday, no downtown bank is going to process it until the following business day - Monday. And Rahm just borrowed a shitload of money for day-to-day operating costs.
Is Chicago broke?

It means City leadership, and CPD is managing money correctly, so a to wring the value out of every penny. We are so lucky to have a frugal CPD.
That's bullshit... They have known about this for months already. Now I have to go out of my way just to get a check. I hate this City and job more and more each day.
I hear all district commanders are being dumped to save money. The DSS's are taking over when they are there.
Not broke by a long shot,,,there are BILLIONS in TIFs being hidden.
Rahm is big into changing state law to suit him and what he wants, how about changing the state law and getting the TIF money released to fund the pensions and pay some of the bills around this place.
That makes sense, too bad DEMOCRATS have none.
Ever notice the solvent and well run cities, counties and states are all run by Republicans??
That's the same kind of crap that Daley used to pull back in the day. It gave him an extra day or two of interest. I doubt the city is broke given the way Rahm is spending.
No... Chicago isn't "broke."
Pretextual set up to "show (Who?)we don't have money."
You gotta stink when you think regarding these corrupt fucks at 111 N. LaSalle...
If they can just hold on till city stickers are due I think they will make it.
Rham is following Obamas foot step in borrowing money kick the can down the road, can't pay the intreast, will then tax the middle class to recover losses. But, this is bad economics then blame republicans.
Yes, Chicago is broke. Move along.
How can they be broke...? Have you gotten a water bill lately...?
A 60 percent increase in just three years...Add that to the 60 percent Illinois income tax hike which may no longer be temporary. Ad that to the many redlight cameras, and now speeding cameras...All for the children I presume...This must be the safest city in the nation right...?
is rahmbo hiding in his bunker ready to take the cyanide pill--- only 1.7 million collected from his speedy cameras--- that doesn't even cover the cost of the installation, signage, and administrative arm of this shit program--- another white elephant that was supposed to bring in 70 million is going to be a loser just like everything else he has done--- go jump into the frozen lake again stupid and snap yourself out of the fantasy land you are living in....
No, SCC, Chicago isn't broke, but if he can get enough people to take that ball and run with it, Rahm will convince the world it IS.
So, by speculating on this, we're legitimizing it, which is what he wants. And then, having established and ingrained this fear in the majority of Chicago's citizens, he will convince them to support stealing our pensions.

When is our Union going to fight for the P.O's and the out of grade pay they should get for working desk sgt? There are so many officers who worked that spot and are due payment per the contract, yet out union seems to be doing little to fight the last unjust hearing. Why dont we hear from our union people on this. We sure hear from them when they want our vote or to come to the stations and spill more bullshit!
when are these checks available to be picked up?
OT: Arbitrator Won't Sign Residency Ruling For Pa. Officers
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"PITTSBURGH — An arbitrator representing the city of Pittsburgh refused to sign a decision permitting police officers to live outside city limits.
Joe Quinn wrote a dissenting opinion, contending that the three-arbitrator panel exceeded its authority, violated a city ordinance and ignored the will of city residents, who overwhelmingly voted in November to put a residency requirement into the Home Rule Charter..."

good i don't have to tell the wife
Pittsburgh P.D. and FOP win big, arbitrator rules that officers can now live 25 miles outside city limits. Does it set a precedent? read the story here.

No, Chicago's not broke so you can quit trying to brainwash the readership into thinking it is so they give up their pensions.
Until the mayoral slush fund known as TIFF is abolished so that tax money can go where it's supposed to go. Chicago ain't broke.
Until the corporate welfare spigot is turned off so ALL businesses operating in Chicago pay their legal share of taxes, Chicago ain't broke.
Until Chicago figures out it's not City Hall's business nor is it the business of us taxpayers to buy free bullshit for the welfare crowd to buy votes, Chicago ain't broke.
For all the times City Hall has claimed "we're broke" during contract negotiations, they were found to be liars by an arbiter who on our last two contracts published the phrase "it's not that the city can't afford to pay the raises, it's that it doesn't WANT to".
It appears that deliberate borrowing is the last tool city hall has to con the stupid into believing the city is broke. After all, why would the city borrow money unless it doesn't have enough..... unless the idea is to sell the last page of bullshit to those who think they're not gullible.
Can you lend me 618 million?
I will kindly pay you bay on Tuesday.

OFF TOPIC But Important...
This just in from POLICE MAGAZINE ONLINE
"ARBITER ALLOWS PITTSBURGH POLICE TO LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY
March 14, 2014 |
For the first time in more than a century, Pittsburgh police officers will not have to live in the city where they work, according to a draft arbitration award announced Thursday that thrilled the police union but spurred deep concerns elsewhere, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The draft award used language suggested by the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 1 that sets a radius for officers to live within 25 air miles of the City-County Building, Downtown.
An attorney for the police union said the residency decision pertains only to the force's 842 rank-and-file members, not the small command staff. Once the decision is made final, police officers will enjoy a benefit that no other city employee has. Teachers with Pittsburgh Public Schools are not required to be city residents, but the district's other employees are.
But the police union president, Sgt. Michael LaPorte, said changes would be through collective bargaining and only after the current contract expires in December."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
However, as the Pittsburgh Gazette says the Mayor may appeal this decision.
He must have lawyers to feed.
Hmmmm... Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #1, The City of Pittsburgh Where it all began 1915
I could tell you more but their website requires a user name & password to get in.
25 Miles as the Crow flies.
Sergeant as Union President, not divided and conquered ala Richie Daley/John Deneen.
Interesting
Thought the same thing. On a different note, heard Geiger and Bill got FOX News to try to do a story about Deans Disabity by going to office, where they found nothing. PLus, heard Mike Lappe is backing Dean. That's good enough for me. Can we now move on and talk about the issues. I didn't vote for either guy but I know what Dean has proposed regarding Salaries, etc. I've heard nothing from Citywide except generalities like leadership, integrity,etc. Thank you Bill for making the decision making process so much easier than I originally thought.
I'll race you to the bank.
That's just what the evil cabal wants you to believe that the city is in dire times. Come spring session in Springfield they can cry pension broke and get another pass on the payment due next year! Remember they have money for everything but your pension, and if Rauner is elected you can count on getting transferred into a 401k and not with what you expected. The amount you invested already most likely would be half and fees would be thru the roof as this happened to Pittsburg government employees pensions but his company made millions in fees!
(OT) many of us are really concerned about our pension, health care, a contract and other coppers found this in another thread thought this was important so went to look at Facebook page nothing on there, whoever the goof is that posted this using Tom's name needs to be talked to.

All that money stays invested in what is known as the overnight rate, now about .35% .35% of several million dollars is a lot over money every 24 hrs. It's also sometimes called the "rainy day fund."
I we should just be happy they don't fill prescriptions or administer meds....be a lot bodies lying around.
Greg I said the b word.
Read Dougherty letter. Think it's funny that he used a post to scc to try to make it seem Tom McDonough is endorsing him. Since he did a roll call with Dean last night, not the case.
I hear all district commanders are being dumped to save money. The DSS's are taking over when they are there.
Will never happen. The bosses never get downsized. Every year there are more bosses and new positions for the exempts. There are commanders and exempt positions that you never heard of or know about.
It means that a lot of guys are going to be happy because they can hide that money from the Mrs.
To 2:09am I would not want to be on desk I like being on street. I really think there are bigger issues healthcare and pension. Sorry but you took this job to be the police now you are making a very good living as a armed secretary sucked it up worry about the bigger picture.
FOP will do something for the membership when the last of the Donahue group is gone, namely Dougherty. Mr integrity?
When is our Union going to fight for the P.O's
First of all my friend, FOP is not and never has been a union. Its a collective bargaining unit. Ive benn on since the Dineen days. All the FOP has done is sold us out for their own benefit. Anytime you call one of those speaker phoned morons all you get is... welllllll or I dont know let me check.
FOP thinks we need them, HA fornwhat. We are T least 6000 strong regarding blue shirts. And what do we do to stcik together and work towards a common goal regarding our contracts.
NOT A FUCKIN THING.
We let these useless jags screw us term after term and contract after contract. Then all you do is bitch on here. 30% of ACTIVE POLICE OFFICERS VOTED REGARDING FOP. That means 70% couldnt take 5 minutes to fill it out and mail. What a bunch of useless assholes. Im KMA, But you youngins on the job better wake up. I cant believe you voted the same pile of shit back into FOP.
Where the hack is mine?
Don't forget:
According to good source at 35th Street, City Hall wants the current VRI Overtime program to END in June of this year.
The department now has 908 recruits that have been hired since 5 October 2012.
Since these recruits are still in a probationary status, the department can assign them from 044 to units 211, 212 and 213 (Bureau of Patrol South, Central and North) or for that matter assign them to the Violence Reduction Initiative Units 711 - North or 712 - South.
This will be more than enough to fill the 20 violence zones.
-------
If the city can take that overtime money that was used for VRI and possibly put that in the pension fund it would be a good start.
Retro checks have always been hard check. You had to sign for them

Kirk Dillard gets a grade of "A" from the NRA.

Did anyone one notice that on top of check it said "cash immediately" and didn't have the typical void after this many days..Found it weird
In all honesty, most municipalities and even countries are broke, perpetually rolling over bonds to survive, never paying the principal.
They say "It's different this time" and then eventually BANG.

I absolutely agree with you. The Sgt.'s union put forth their effort for when Sgt.'s were DSS and they won causing Rahm to fly into a huge hissy fit.
Why haven't we heard anything from our union in a long, long time about our Desk Sgt. grievance???
Not broke by a long shot,,,there are BILLIONS in TIFs being hidden.
TIFs work like this: Bonds are floated to pay for below ground improvements (not bricks and mortar) and then the property gets improved, built on, etc. The property taxes paid subsequently then go to retire the bonds. Simple, right? But when you divert the TIF bond proceeds into some big secret pot, and force the city to do without property tax revenue for broad swaths of TIF areas... bad fucking things happen. But keep it all secret you 9 digit midget. If the citizens had any clue there would be a revolution. Led by us.
This is a glass half full moment for me:-)
"Honey, I didn't get a retro- I spent all those days with you and kids!"

"Is Chicago broke?"
Ever hear of the Tribune?
"A reckless pattern of borrowing by city leaders has undermined Chicago’s future by ignoring the most basic tenets of municipal finance and piling billions of dollars of debt onto the shoulders of future generations, a Tribune investigation has found.
Chicago officials abused a powerful financial tool intended to build for the future — issuance of bonds backed by property taxes — as they spent nearly $10 billion in 13 years with few restrictions and virtually no oversight."

Union already took it to arbitration. It didn't work out too well, they are looking for another representative grievance with which to proceed to another arbitration.
Keep yourself informed and you won't have to ask questions on the blog indicative of your total ignorance of the subject.
Go to FOP meetings and ask at the meeting or email one of the office staff or call the FOP. Anything but an anonymous question on the SCC blog.

OT: today is last day for Early Voting. If you missed out remember Tuesday.
Pull a REPUBLICAN BALLOT, vote against Rauner
Keep in mindDillard was Chief of Staff to Jim Edgar, probably the most honest and worthy Governor this state ever had.
So FORGET about voting for Judges, etc.
None are running Republican. All offices are incumbent Democrats anyway. A ploy by the DEMOs to avoid voting against Rauner by taking a DEM ballot.
Choose a REPUBLICAN Ballot.

What union???
"Is Chicago broke?" -- SCC
Yes, but the aldermen just voted a billion-dollar limit on the mayor's credit card, to make a big fuss on projects in the city to impress the voters -- with the payback costs and interest "refinanced," "scooped and tossed" far into the future, out of sight for now.
Mike Madigan wants Chicago to spend $100 million "to attract the Obama presidential library." That money would buy a lot of pipe -- the huge gas explosion in NYC, Harlem, that took out two five story buildings and killed at least 7 people was caused by a cast-iron 8" gas main made in 1887. The water mains here have been letting go, too -- same thing.
...while the mayor was at "SXSW" music festival in Austin, Texas, probably helping promoter brother Ari to line up more "events" to clog the parks this summer.
Here is a very interesting article on NYC's "crumbling infrastructure" that closely parallels our situation.

Same here. I'm wondering what the fuck I got myself in2 every day now. It may B better to bounce and keep whats left of my sanity then to keep riding this crazy train, It's a miserable place to go every day. It wasn't always like this. I used to have fun on this gig. We worked, but still had some fun doing it.
Just don't see it coming back again.

"All that money stays invested in what is known as the overnight rate, now about .35% .35% of several million dollars is a lot over money every 24 hrs. It's also sometimes called the "rainy day fund."
And your returns are probably calculated to you two digits to the right of the decimal point. However, the finance people calculate it out to six digits, so you lose everything to the right of that also. This is another way money is "skimmed".
A MEAASGE TO TOM MCDONAGH - You wrote on this blog that Angelo's people on the board had cut a "devils deal" with Shields when they voted to find him not guilty. Now you are supporting Angelo? Devil's Deal, Tom? Looks like you just made one. Thanks for the complete lack of integrity. No wonder you finished 3rd.
-- overnight rate, now about .35% .35% --
Actually, that rate is an annual percentage rate. Nobody is paying .35% for one night. .35% per night would be more than 100% in 300 days, and that's without even considering compounding. Everybody would keep their money in banks if it would collect .35% per night.
Off topic, but does anyone's district still have one of those flag disposal boxes? Or know of a Boy Scout/Cub Scout group on the southwest side that would like to properly dispose of it?
My hard check was 3 days short, I called time keeper she is out sick and date of return unknown, called finance 11 times and no answer and no return call, called FOP they said call finance that it was not their issue to settle for an officer! Talked with commander who explained only the time keeper ( on medical leave) can correct unknown when she will return. Sounds like city playing games and FOP is still seated with mayor.
It means the city's employees (payroll employees) are not qualified. That is not a surprise as your leaders are not qualified either.

So multiple people that both Myself & son know, who are sons of policeman and went to catholic high schools just got their randomly assigned numbers from the police test in Dec and amazingly they are all randomly higher than 10,000. The entitled folks, CPS students and grads are getting a 20% preference. How the F is that legal. Just another way to keep the better qualified out by being adjusted. Hopefully there will be a class action suit against this blatantly open act of discrimination.

Another dumbfuck heard from. Listen dipshit, your fucking union has gotten you raises every fuckin year since before you came on this fucking job nitwit. Your union has gotten shift differential for ALL members regardless of their watch, moron. Your union has gotten you 13 holidays, 365 medical days and after a little time on the job a fucking MONTH of of work with pay.
So you can fuck yourself asshole in regards to "what has the union ever done for me" you fucking greedy dumbfuck who doesn't have a fucking clue as to what this entire country's gone through since 2008. You're just another fucking dumbass who thinks he should get a fucking 5% raise every fucking year, another month off work every other fucking year, another 2 holidays a fucking year and you think the city should fucking pay YOU an insurance premium.
Grow up you fucking idiot and learn that just because you're the fucking police doesn't grant you any more remuneration than any other fucking city employee gets, you just fucking THINK you do.
You're a fucking employee asshole, nothing more. And you've gotten better than average compensation every fucking year you've been on this job.
And in case you forgot, it's called NEGOTIATIONS, not GIMME EVERY FUCKING THING I DEMAND OR ELSE you idiot. You don't GET everything you fucking want, that's what the fuck negotiations are, the city doesn't owe you more and fucking more every fucking year without relent while you give nothing back in exchange.
Get a new fucking job asshat, you don't have a fucking clue what goes on in the real world and you obviously are too stupid to understand you've gotten a BETTER economic package every fucking year you've worked.
So grow the fuck up, or shut the fuck up and let the adults in the room run the show, because the FOP ain't your fucking mommy, and they don't owe you whatever you thin you deserve.

So nobody in your unit is getting paid until the timekeeper returns? I kinda doubt that.
Maybe you could go find the person who is currently doing your timekeeping and get it straightened out. And be NICE when you approach them.
@8:40 p.m. How about you put your your cleverness to work? I gave the street and town-and it ain't a big, long street like Western Avenue. You could turn onto that street and find the house in less than a minute. So could IAD. It doesn't bother me that much, as I don't have to abide by the residency law. If anything, it should bother you. I am not CPD, and don't know doodly about IAD. How about you contact IAD? I think I provided enough info to work with.
Dean Angelo was at pour roll call last night with Tom McDonagh. Angelo made it clear is is quitting the teaching job and is going to reduce the officers salaries. He said he makes around $50,000 a year for his disability and will deduct that from his pay. He talked about the problem with grievances and sounds like he knows what to do to repair the damage done to this union. At this point we get more of the same from Dogherty so Im going with Angelo. We really dont have anything to lose at this point.
Clean Slate guys are teaming up Angelo Team guys and do roll together. So this is a real endorsement not just a paper one.
The Clean Slate guys want just that. A Clean Slate. They want all of the City-Wide guys gone.
Billy save us the grief and cost of a runoff and just withdraw. You know if you get political all of the votes a 22-5 against you. The membership has spoken.
Dean Angelo was at our roll call yesterday also made it clear he will not bring back either of the Shields boys. Whew another citywide rumor put to rest.

Hey FOP tuff-guy...
You made your point but you missed the point in your hurry to show you're so tough.
If you assholes would fucking LISTEN to the membership instead of doing everything you can short of murder to stay in power when THE MEMBERSHIP shows one cabal of you jag-offs the fucking door only for you to get a reach around from the OTHER cabal of jag-offs, FOP might be considered credible.
You ignorant assholes are fucking SICKENING with your antics and collusion with city hall.
Yes COLLUSION, you fucking turn-coats! Let's call a spade a spade because you dumb pricks have "alligator arms" when it comes to the BEST interests of the membership AND their families, you selfish bastards!
Just about every other Police Union and or Police Fraternal Organization has run RINGS around you fucking bozos. WHY?
How about you lazy fucks GET ON YOUR FUCKING JOBS and stop with this pussy-assed one hand slap fighting you've been doing?
You fuck-heads are just as bad as the city.
YOU grow the fuck up and get on the fucking job we fucking pay you fucking simps to do.
Yeah it's negotiation and you ass-pipes haven't done much of jack shit except talk shit to people who dare to question you thin skined fucks about why coppers are being walked backwards.
"Duhh... Be glad we're keeping youz from being walked backwards as fast as everybody else"
FOP needs to be kicked in the ass for thinking like this!
YOU serve at the membership's pleasure not the other way around. Fuckhead...
Now run and tell your fucking mommy you've been set straight for sassing the adults.
All of you can go shit in your hats for the good you claim to have done the membership.
Get to fucking work you miserable shit bums and give us a better fucking return on our dues.
My hard check was 3 days short, I called time keeper she is out sick and date of return unknown, called finance 11 times and no answer and no return call, called FOP they said call finance that it was not their issue to settle for an officer! Talked with commander who explained only the time keeper ( on medical leave) can correct unknown when she will return. Sounds like city playing games and FOP is still seated with mayor.
Pure BS. So when shes on furlo or medical, no time sheets are done. Go peddle this BS somewhere else

-- overnight rate, now about .35% .35% --
Actually, that rate is an annual percentage rate. Nobody is paying .35% for one night. .35% per night would be more than 100% in 300 days, and that's without even considering compounding. Everybody would keep their money in banks if it would collect .35% per night.
Some po's appear to be mathematically challenged. .35% is about what the credit union is paying on a CD 1/3 of 1%
What year did they hire without giving a test?

Another dumbfuck heard from. Listen dipshit, your fucking union has gotten you raises every fuckin year since before you came on this fucking job nitwit. Your union has gotten shift differential for ALL members regardless of their watch, moron. Your union has gotten you 13 holidays, 365 medical days and after a little time on the job a fucking MONTH of of work with pay.
So you can fuck yourself asshole in regards to "what has the union ever done for me" you fucking greedy dumbfuck who doesn't have a fucking clue as to what this entire country's gone through since 2008. You're just another fucking dumbass who thinks he should get a fucking 5% raise every fucking year, another month off work every other fucking year, another 2 holidays a fucking year and you think the city should fucking pay YOU an insurance premium.
Grow up you fucking idiot and learn that just because you're the fucking police doesn't grant you any more remuneration than any other fucking city employee gets, you just fucking THINK you do.
You're a fucking employee asshole, nothing more. And you've gotten better than average compensation every fucking year you've been on this job.
And in case you forgot, it's called NEGOTIATIONS, not GIMME EVERY FUCKING THING I DEMAND OR ELSE you idiot. You don't GET everything you fucking want, that's what the fuck negotiations are, the city doesn't owe you more and fucking more every fucking year without relent while you give nothing back in exchange.
Get a new fucking job asshat, you don't have a fucking clue what goes on in the real world and you obviously are too stupid to understand you've gotten a BETTER economic package every fucking year you've worked.

Guys sit on this forum all day and post how they don't shit at work for whatever reason. Or how they take the VRI money to watch movies on their laptop all night. Then, they're the very first to demand a damned pay raise.Talk about a sense of entitlement... I often wonder if these brain surgeons know the damage they do our cause, when they post that they don't shit all day at work?
Some of us actually worked for a living before getting on this job. So, you'll have to excuse us for appreciating what we have.

No ignorance here? For Your Information Dean Angelo has already once been voted out by the membership once and your talking about voting him out again? How many chance are you going to give him? Is it the shortness of memory? Dean is a scam artist and will gladly tell you what you want to hear. Sadly so many of you young officers have no idea of the past. We do not hear much about how Dean took the FOP credit card and took all his friends to Hooter's and spent a couple thousand of your money when he was kicked out the last time? Do we hear how all of a sudden Dean became unable to work after he was kicked out the last time? Did we hear how Dean did not have to adhere to all the proper procedures of going onto disability? No you have not and I do not think Dean or his followers will tell you either. So if you guys enjoyed Mike Shields and were satisfied then vote for Dean, after all you can throw him out again and again. Right after he sticks it in were the sun does not shine.

"PITTSBURGH — An arbitrator representing the city of Pittsburgh refused to sign a decision permitting police officers to live outside city limits.
Joe Quinn wrote a dissenting opinion, contending that the three-arbitrator panel exceeded its authority, violated a city ordinance and ignored the will of city residents, who overwhelmingly voted in November to put a residency requirement into the Home Rule Charter..."

No suburban neighbor is going to sign the beef or be bothered with jumping through all the hoops. They won't do it on anonymous complaints anymore. So, relax.
Most likely, it's somebody who occasionally stays with a girlfriend in the burbs and he isn't required to sleep every night in the city, anyway. Or his retirement papers are already in and it doesn't matter anymore.
Just for the record, though, it's no secret on how to make a complaint. In other words, the poster is hoping someone else will do his dirty work for him by picking up the info off the blog. It doesn't work that way anymore. Not going to happen.
DID YOU KNOW THIS?
The City-Wide guys were supposed to get Captain's pay a field Rep positions. But the rest of their benefits are supposed to be as either D1, D2, or D2A.
Listen to this - these assholes were selling back their P-Day and BFD days at Captains rate. It's amazing but for the last 9 years no one up stairs ever used a benefit day and sold all of them back every year!
But these a-holes were also paying themselves supervisory quarterly checks also.
I drank the Donahue cool aid for years. I voted for Tommy McDonagh in the election. He only missed by 97 votes of beating out Dougherty. Tommy is supporting Angelo 100%. That's good enough for me.

Couldn't agree more. Somebody finally figured it out instead of the old urban legand that the city holds the check and makes lots of money. $200 a day is nothing to the city. Probably cost them more to print the checks instead of direct deposit. Finally getting it
To 2:09am I would not want to be on desk I like being on street. I really think there are bigger issues healthcare and pension. Sorry but you took this job to be the police now you are making a very good living as a armed secretary sucked it up worry about the bigger picture.

You're an asshole. If you could read and write you'd realize that you obviously missed the point of the post you're bring critical of.
The officers that acted as desk Sgt.'s clearly acted out of grade and Rahm wants to deny the out of grade pay. The union needs to follow through on that very winnable grievance.
Is Chicago broke? You're kidding right?
@3/16/2014 07:17:00 PM. I could not care less about the guy. I ain't a cop and don't live in the city. I just passed along what I have observed, as I have heard many beefs about the residency rule. I'm not looking for anyone to do my "dirty work." In conclusion, have a nice evening and remember to turn vigorously and powerfully to the right when inserting and tightening the screw.
Off topic, but does anyone's district still have one of those flag disposal boxes? Or know of a Boy Scout/Cub Scout group on the southwest side that would like to properly dispose of it?
There is one in 25. Thank you for showing the proper respect to OUR flag!

This is an older(2006) article, so I'd call before making a long trip.
I liked the hard check. My wife didn't know it existed. Mad money for me. Do it again next year please.
So someone wrote..." The FOP aint yr Mama. I would have to agree. FOP is my employee. And if I could, I would fire them.

To this crying bitch...Just a curious civilian here. How come a certain CPD officer gets to drive a marked vehicle to his home ......
Here's an idea...why don't you mind your own fucking business ..read a book if you have extra time on your hands.... And nice job to the other rat cops providing this guy info to jam up another copper. We happened to us?

No suburban neighbor is going to sign the beef or be bothered with jumping through all the hoops. They won't do it on anonymous complaints anymore. So, relax.
Most likely, it's somebody who occasionally stays with a girlfriend in the burbs and he isn't required to sleep every night in the city, anyway. Or his retirement papers are already in and it doesn't matter anymore.
Just for the record, though, it's no secret on how to make a complaint. In other words, the poster is hoping someone else will do his dirty work for him by picking up the info off the blog. It doesn't work that way anymore. Not going to happen.

There are certain complaints that IAD takes anonymously. Residency is one of those. Does not need a complainant. Just a complaint.

Jam up another copper? For not adhering to the same rules I must follow? That isn't the cop brotherhood looking out for each other. That is illegal. Don't like it, go find a job without residency. You know the requirements when you got hired and signed the paper.
Jeez, God forbid someone testifies about dirty cops too, jams them up, "what's become of us." Hey, I am not a criminal, follow the rules or face the consequences. I don't care who doesn't like it.
The minute I read your post, it was clear you wanted someone here to do your dirty work for you.
No, it doesn't bother me if the guy lives there. That's his concern, not mine.
As for you, it isn't my job to follow up on your anonymous post.
If you want it followed up on, don't be a coward. Filing a residency complaint requires you give your name, sign a document and tender the information to IAD.
If you're too cowardly to put your money where your mouth is, don't expect me or anyone else here to do it for you. We can NOT attest to the facts of the matter. So take your tips and clues and shove them.

You are wrong, tough guy. Living out of the City can and is investigated without a signed affidavit. It is technically a violation of the Law, not just GO. Once it is determined that a PO is indeed living out of the City, the person assigned to the investigation becomes the complainant.
Just about every residency violation starts as an anonymous call/letter from another copper.
It's scary how far some of you goofs will extend "courtesy".

While you may not have liked the manner in which he posted, there can be no argument that all he stated is absolutely true.
Guys sit on this forum all day and post how they don't shit at work for whatever reason. Or how they take the VRI money to watch movies on their laptop all night. Then, they're the very first to demand a damned pay raise.Talk about a sense of entitlement... I often wonder if these brain surgeons know the damage they do our cause, when they post that they don't shit all day at work?
Some of us actually worked for a living before getting on this job. So, you'll have to excuse us for appreciating what we have.

You need to take this worthless boasting with a grain of salt. I will bet that these braggarts do have their share of work due to the low manpower issues citywide, and I doubt that they are in a unit that actually does little to no work. Whenever they get the chance to work as little as possible, they are like those Facebook posters that continuously post their statuses and can't hold back because they can't keep their mouths shut. I highly doubt that they are able to pull off that lack of activity on a daily basis even if it means only responding to jobs when they have you running ragged every minute of the day, so chill! I worked in the private sector for 10 years before this job and let me tell you, as bad as that was, it did not come close to the aggravation I have experienced on this job!!!!

Im a Sergeant who retired last October. got my retro check on March 2nd, thank you to the city of Chicago for my 7800.00 USC.
Congradulations on your retirement and check. At least you are not crying like the one baby who had to make a special trip or go out of his way to pick up his check.
To the residency commenter talking about 'extending courtesy', what the hell are you talking about? What courtesy is being extended?
Also, in 94, or thereabouts, anonymous complaints were done away with (losing about eighteen of them for the City). EIghteen cases were cleared and shredded in Confidential the morning the ruling came down, including one closed as sustained that morning.
IAD then decided the 'CL' number was a way to get around the requirement that ONLY criminal cases could be initiated without a named complainant. Anonymous complaint went to an investigator, who then determined (by surveillances) whether there was merit to the complaint, then the investigator became the named complainant. But some wise targeted officers beat that, too. Residency ISN'T criminal. Investigating it as an anonymous complaint is not proper and anyone caught up by this process has been investigated improperly.
I live in the city because I want to, for the moment, but I don't care where any of you live, as long as you get to work on time and act responsibly during your tour. Got an hour commute from Streamwood or Orland, that's on you.
1028 that is funny, hopefully your wife doesn't read the blog! Lol
Look up what the Federal Reserve charges for overnight fund rates--.00 to .25%--- that is for banks borrowing from them. And you think the City gets .35%-- who are they lending to? Private enterprises? I think not.
Added to my other comment, the 3 month libor rate is .23%. So, if you think the city is getting .35% on overnight rates, think again. Fed rate is 0- to - .25% and the libor rate is .23% for 3 months. Do your homework.

Thank you for your permission. Your logic is fool proof, also. It is reassuring to know that I am working with the best and the brightest.
