Here We Go Again
- The Summer Surge . . .
A phalanx of police department pencil pushers just got merged into the Summer Surge.
◆ Translation: In anticipation of an increase in violence during the August heat, top cop Garry McCarthy is dispatching a cadre of desk cops and sergeants to patrol high crime areas on the South and West sides.
“Supt. McCarthy is beefing up his ‘Summer Surge’ plan to put more administrative officers on the street by detailing a new contingent of 150 police officers and sergeants who normally have desk jobs,” said a City Hall source.
What is this, the third time Garry has pulled 150 or more Officers out of his ass and put them on street duty?
Every month or so, someone in the media finds their balls and asks about lack of hiring and manpower numbers. McCarthy insists were at strength and we aren't actually using the manpower efficiently. How about sending these "house mice" to the street and leaving them there instead of taking them back into whatever hidden spots they came from in the first place? Wasn't McEfficiencyExpert's big thing "Damn the paperwork and full speed on ANOV's and Contact Cards!" We're pretty sure it was, but you still can't find parking at 35th/Michigan to visit the Medical Section.

The Surge!!! I think the NG would be a good force to use as a Surge. There's an order on the use of the NG, well use then them.
Speaking of ANOVS & Contact Cards, 011 dis. had another homicide tonight. I think these bosses are doing a fine job & should in fact get a raise. A raise I tell ya! In my 20 yrs of poooo leasin the West side, this is by far the worst Fillmore has ever been! A big thanks to the CO& XO for your horrific policing strategies. We are back on top of that homicide mountain! More contact cards & ANOVS LOLLOLLOL!
SSC-Maybe all those parking spots @ 35th & Michigan are for the children
150 more cops on the beat to handle 1,000 more unaccompanied illegal immigrant juvenile delinquents.
That's around a six to one ratio isn't it?
Hope the wagons are not down
Great, so are all the wasted Sgts & officers in Personel, Human Resources, Mgnt labor affair, medical section & identified are going back on the street?
Bet money the clouted people are not gonna let that happen to their precious house mice.
Their are at least 30 Sgt & Lts that would not be missed and 200 officers that need to be back on the street.
in regards to the medical section, they already are sending the nurses and caseworkers out on the street several times a week. It now takes 3 times as long to get procedures approved for IOD. It took more time to get approval, then it took for my recovery (and getting back out on the street). Very wise move by the administration on that one!
Wai-wai-wait! I thought "crime is down," and that CPD is at "full strength." Why would he need to move anyone if those things are true? "McCarthy told about a dozen aldermen in attendance that violent crime in the city is at its lowest in decades but that message has been obscured by news coverage and social media chatter."
rb
I get Dizzy listening to this Sup's. waffling on crime stats. Just two days ago crime was 7 percent down and trending downward.
Is this guy windsurfing with John Kerry?
What a "Tool"....
efficiency should extend to all the areas of our f*cked up tour these days...
There's a growing obstacle in processing arrests that's just getting ridiculous and no one addresses it.
It seems like every stupid arrest gets sent to the hospital in some districts for a medical clearance.
Even when the idiot doesn't want to go!
Add to that the ongoing underlying, unspoken sense that in some districts, the bosses and lock-up crew make it miserable in order to condition you not to make the mistake of making arrests.
It can't get more obvious than having lock-ups that are "out of order" for months, and now you cram everybody in to process at an area where you're treated worse than your offender, and sent for an unnecessary clearance, tying up cars, wagons, and sitting in hospital e/r's where real sick people and hospital staffs are sick of seeing you and the worthless sack of shit you brought to waste everyone's time.
Wait to they figure out that they don't have that many people left inside. When you call 35th leave a message on the answering machine.........
Awesome that no one guards the lot at 35th St at night. We are solo terrorist ready.
I thought crime is down, I thought all is under control, and I thought we should down size some more. They haven't gotten a clue. The citizens are being victimized and don't worry crime is down. To all those who say I don't give a $h!@, you, your friends and family live here. They can and will be victims of the violence as long as it is allowed to continue. It's not a matter of if, it's just of matter of when! Be safe!!!
What are they going to drive Rental cars ?
How about lock all the doors and send everyone out to work. This every day at my house to pay the bills. Thank the mayor that crime is so low or the guy with the eraser.
But, according to Gary,crime is not affected by weather!!!
35th and Michigan is a Gov't condo bldg. we no longer own. It won't be long before Rahm moves in the 1000 or so illegal alien children to live in the cubicles personnel used to have. Next will be all the Ebola patients flown in on the taxpayer dime to assuage our democrat guilt complex, to live in the underused vendateria.
Awhile back - didn't Rahm say he was going to put 1000 cops back on the street and get them out from behind the desk?
Did that really ever happen?
Last night, I saw him on Channel 9 saying he was going to put another 150 on the street so that kids could play safely, etc, etc, etc.
Where are you getting ALL these cops?
It sounds like Rahm (and McCarthy) are fighting the Battle of the Bulge and have called up every cook, truck mechanic, and bandsman to come to the front line with a rifle.
The only problem is, these people exist in their mind - but do they exist for real?
HMmmmm, or are these the "ghost payrollers" finally having to come in to do a day or two's work?
Sorry, but I just don't believe him or McCarthy anymore.
There is no magic to all this. As been suggested MANY times - cut down the amount of Aldermen to 25 and add ALL that money into hiring new cops and get them out to where they can do the most good.
We need cops on the street, not blowhards sucking on the public teat.
Look at 1300 Jackson. Start there!
Who will get the coffee for the brass?
What a joke!
What a complete and total disgrace this city and department has become. Lie after lie. Scandal after scandal. Corruption fills every crack of city hall. Yet its the polices fault and just to bad.
What summer heat?
Surge in the getto?? For what? It won't change anything. The animals will still be killing each other non stop.
Garry wants to waste more of our tax payer dollars on policing the ghetto areas. For what??
Allow the police to be like we were back in the 70's and 80's, and they will fear us, not mock us!

But we are at full strength. Why would we need more officers on the street?
Forget 35th and clean out Homan square. You have a considerable number of officers that do NOTHiNG but workout and go to 3 hour lunches out of this building. OCD is where they really hide all the clouted ones not 35th st anymore. You also have all the external positions like the court, etc.
We have more police officers per capita than Washington DC, New York and Newark NJ...so then if we have "so many" cops Gerry... Why do we need more on the street? Just askin...because we ALL know as you said many times in the past....the weather has "nothing to do with crime" so now I ask.... WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!???? Face it you have ZERO clue on how to handle crime in a city such as Chicago.LEAVE go back to Jersey and retire your a failure here, your strategies DO NOT work here and WILL NOT work here because in all reality... You have no strategy at all. You say the same stuttering, mumbling bullshit every week on tv and you sound stupid to say "crime is down in Pullman... Lowest it's been since 1963" what about Fillmore how's that statistic look or englewood..how do they look how low are the homicides in Fillmore? You look silly...like a New Jersey chump. Chicago has over 70,000 gang members and 3 of the largest gangs in the country were born right here in Chicago and you have no clues how to police therm but you will swear at officers and supervisors at your Scamstat meetings.., you berate officers and commanders there like you can do any better? You can't even lie well on tv you are a puppet, a joke. How can you go to work every day and think your leading anything or anyone in the right direction? Rham can't even fire you because it will look bad for him and his election he must keep you what a joke, more people will die today...tomorrow....next week....next month because you don't know what to do. But I know one thing for sure...next time you go on that tv you will pull some astounding statistic out of your hat and tell us all that...crime is down...what a joke
House mice population keeps growing...hidden in plain sight. Beautiful people that never had a hard day in their life. Nobody should be working inside a district with less than 20 years on the job. Armed officer workers.
I saw Rham and McHasbeen on the Sunday news saying that crime is at the lowest since the 1960s. Really? So low since the 1960s but yet we have to put 150 more people on the street. These are the same 150 we put on the street the last time, they just went back to their hiding spot until the next "surge".
They think we are that stupid?
If the public only knew about the condition and lack of available beat cars.........start getting on the air and say that you have NO car and cannot accept jobs. The City has to buy around 500 new units.
There are a number of hidden people I know I used to work at 35 th street but many duties are essential to the overall operation of our department. For example medical section, how long do you really want to wait getting cleared from iod or medical? Information services, let's see how long it takes cameras, computers or other essential programs that we all use daily to get fixed. These are just a couple but seriously the department keeps taking these officers and putting them on the street to keep the media quiet. In the mean time things are getting worse and worse from a infrastructure perspective. I know I know all you hard chargers are going to beat me up over this but this isn't the way to run a police department
Garry says, "By hook or crook I'm going to get the statistics to say what I want them to say!"
Isn't it a pitty that we live in a world where comparing crime to previous years to show that "things are getting better"?!
Collectively we worship a mayor and police chief when they come out and say, "Hey, we only had 45 murders last month - that's down 5.753% from last year!"
What the fuck is wrong with this world?
You need 150 police officers not 150 do nothing house babies that either can not or will not handle the job. McFool should start the process of getting rid of the dead weight and higher people that want to be police officers and have the balls to do the job.
Want to talk about manpower? There are only 850 detectives. They are budgeted for 1200. What's the deal? We are very short. Hire more Det's already
He's doing this because they can't get enough volunteers for VRI. With the regular summer surge for tact/gang/sat in full swing, VRI has seen low numbers. As was predicted a long time ago, there will come a point that "burn-out" will take hold. Even with supplemental, the VRI numbers are down so he's filling the spots, mandatorily with days off canceled. by the house mice.

What are they going to drive Rental cars ?
--------------------------------
Excellent point.
I would suggest cars that aren't the standard-looking cop cars.
Maybe get a couple of the white utility vans.
There you go - instant paddy wagon that you can throw several criminals in the back (just chain 'em to the floor as we're talking low-budget transportation - no special seating, no frills)
As for cars? Maybe get some Chrysler 300s? or even 200s? (guys would be fighting to drive those), maybe a couple of Nissan Altimas - no one would think a cop is driving up in an Altima and maybe some high-end sports-cars (who leases Challengers and Boss Mustangs?)
Again, no one would think a cop would be driving up in one of them - sort of a Starsky & Hutch tribute car.
Forget the standard cars.
In the long-run, it would probably be cheaper to lease cars - especially for "peak season" crime rushes. If crime slows down (like in winter), you lease less cars.
WOW - that type of innovation in public spending? You'll never see THAT in Chicago!
Plus, I am sure someone would have their Hertz or Enterprise account load up with all the Premier points for leasing the cars and they would be going on "free" trips from all the leasing points.
Ot. U can start in 012. Upstairs. Desk crews. Cross guard supervisor. Foot guys. Taken care of people. Hey but get those contact cards. What a joke.
I have worked too damn hard to earn my inside spot! I am currently overseas on reserve duty. I don't know what I am going to do if this mess continues. I have not carried a baton, radio or handcuffs since 2003. This is soooooo unfair! Another good reason to have a hiring surge. Ok I am in doubt and when in doubt I was told to call my clout which I will do!!!!
We've had the same 150 officers running around through these revolving doors for over 3 years, they go in the back door and out the front and they keep that up so it looks like hundreds of officers. Boots on the ground.
This is like the decoys that Patton was in charge of in England before D-Day, inflatable tanks and trucks, planes made of plywood and broomsticks, the same company of soldiers running all over giving the illusion entire Divisions were there.
But crime is down. According to the City of Chicago Mystical Method of counting crime, part Astrology, part Ouija Board, part Miss Cleo, all bullshit.
I'm about fed up with the fancy house mice and their manicured finger nails. But I said that 20 years ago. It only got worse.
If you want to be a permanent insider then give up the Duty Availabilty and Uniform Allowance.
Most of the house mice if not all, are scared stiff to be on a beat car. Putting some twit in a car who can't see beyond a People or Glamour magazine for 4 hours is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, a big waste of time.
Superintendent's office has 5 full duty officers and 1 civilian....
The Trib is saying a man died after falling from a building in the 200 block of N Columbus. Then they show a picture of the Aqua Tower but don't mention the high profile building by name. Was it the Aqua Tower? He came down from an upper floor, had to be quite a splat. Trib says it is an accident. What accident? He fell off his trampoline or something? I'll believe it was an accident when I read it on SCC, not in the Trib or Times.
According to the news, "Emanuel orders 150 cops to street duty!"
Cut the dead weight from the Academy! There is a boatload there. Officers whose only job is to do automoated timekeeping for how many recruits? Officers whose only job is to process incoming returning service officers (how many a day, a week, a month?) Officers who work the duty desk handling only attendance for how many recruits?
Come on, that's three bodies alone that do little to nothing all day long!!!!!! PUT THEM ON THE STREET!
Englewood will be a "hole" for another 40 years! Politicians and Reverends need "holes" to keep the money flowing! Genius I say, Genius! The old "never let a crisis go to waste!"
Yes, more officers on details with fewer to answer calls. Sounds good.
Damn! I knew HQ is full of hiding places for the clouted, but it's a damn clown car.
If Football hero Gary checks the numbers for all his OFFICE STAFF he would notice they are not making arrest or writing ticket!
Keep the house mouses home they are more dangerous on the street and will get somebody hurt.
They are soft as puppy shit and never wanted to be the police!
Let them fetch my checks and double check the fake murder numbers.
Oh really. So will they be up and available for jobs or are they going to sit a car all day reading fashion & motorcycle magazines . Sounds like the old open market where I saw cops sit and do NOTHING while in progress jobs took place a block away.
smoke n mirrors
Wait, when was McStandardDeviation hired exactly? How long has he himself been in control? Couldn't he have moved these latest desk jobs to the street before now? Why so much time elapsed before action is taken? And why move 150 out to the street if crime is truly down? I see a bunch of disconnects here. In the corporate world, this shit wouldn't fly and he'd be called out immediately. He's had plenty of time to allocate resources. Right?
Look at 1300 Jackson. Start there!

Quit crying. Your asses have been taken care of for YEARS. Send every single cop in that building back to patrol. Oh but don't send them back to 001, 018, 012. A lot of these people left because they couldn't make days or get what they want. They cried called clout and went to 35th. Send them all south. They left us so fuck them we don't want them back.
Smoke and mirrors,I'd believe him and think his heart was in it if he move into an area to live like the famous Jane Bryn,but for now he full of action that's full of getting a reaction,like drinking prune juice,if you listen to his crap,you'll feel like taking a crap,he does that to you!On channel 5 reporter said related to putting desk jockeys on the street..."it like robbing Peter to pay Paul,but it's really actually like robbing Peter to then pay Peter,like James Brown said...talking Loud and saying nothing!
You should privatize all inside jobs just having one sworn supervisor for signature and bonding purposes. Makes no sense why you have sworn officers shuffling paperwork and while your at it privatize canine the mail and erps they would all be run more efficiently and cheaper.
Why are they only working the streets mon--thurs - when fri sat sun are usually the busiest times?
If these people, or as Obama would call them "Folks" are expendable in the Summer, why not permanently replace them with civilians? That way we could keep them on the street all year. Also why did they wait until August to do this, summer is almost over.
I'm Not A Cop, but I'm on the applicant list. :-/
I'm so dizzy with all this miscommunication. I thought weather didn't affect crime! Also just a couple days ago Supt was blurting a trending low crime rate ! Dizzy I tell ya!
what are ANOVS & Contact Cards?
Get rid of all the desk people and let the civilians do the job all you really need is the bonding officer and the Sgt on the desk.
Wonderful news. This means there will be 150 more do nothings calling for a paper car to handle their arrest because they don't know how to do the paper. Complete waste of time.
ssc i say leave them there , they will be useless anyway plus they wont do police work they will just drive around all day,, those are spots at 35th n michigan , only the politically connected and royalty get those spots, plus living in the 11th and 19th wards are a big plus too.
I thought Narcotics & some other units were getting
Downsized??
if sending these 150 to the ghetto solves the problem ( wich it won't) and I'm the family member of some slain kid I would place a lawsuit on the desk of this cocksucker so fast for being negligent because he waited all this time to send 150 coppers out here and it saved the fucking south side I would ask my self why didn't he do it sooner maybe my kid would still be alive
But he's not worried about that because he knows it all bullshit !!!!!!!! Everybody knows what needs to be done but nobody wants to say or do it we need SOS back but even before that we need the backing of everyone including the mayor so we can be the police again but that ain't gonna happen either

They only have a class of 28 recruits now.
Oh wait... everyone has a summer furlough there.. never mind.
Does anyone have the details of the stickup at the Fair Share market at 63rd and Narragansett yesterday afternoon. The store and customers were held up.
Good get them house mice out there and work. As for me I only have 30 days left of my 40 day furlo, enjoy the summer and be safe. Excuse me got to go now and take out the wave runner, later.......

Of course not. We know of many names at my N/Side district that were put on paper as being reassigned to the street but they never saw a day outside...
>>>>> '“Supt. McClueless is beefing up his ‘Summer Surge’ plan . . . detailing a new contingent of 150 police officers and sergeants . . . who will now be detailed to high crimes areas throughout the city from Mondays to Thursdays during the month of August,” <<<<<
Rotflmao! Hey!..Supt McJackass, since shootings go up during the weekends -- you know Garry, those days named; 'Friday', 'Saturday', and 'Sunday' --- exactly what will this mighty contingent of 150 extra bodies accomplish? Don't you really need them out there on the days they aren't going to be there?!?!?
Or is this some super-duper double-secret *crime fighting tactic* you learned in New York, somehow tricking gang-bangers and career criminals to do their deeds during *Regular Working Hours*.
[you really are a fucking imbecile, aren't you.]
Here's a summer surge for you. Turns out that the corporations that are making 100's of millions on the immigration crisis are actually the ones transporting the central Americans to our border.
When I hear this I get the same feeling I do at Mariano's when I crave the Chicken Dumpling soup and you find nothing but a couple of spoon fulls left in the pot. Our pot is empty and Rahm is our Soup Nazi.
How many people are hiding inside where they can keep finding people to put on the street. Everybody should be on the street. That's what they were hired for.
Look at 1300 Jackson. Start there!
8/04/2014 02:36:00 AM
How dare you! That building needs all those lieutenants, sergeants, and gym staff to function properly and efficiently! That building has more command staff and physical training instructors than the entire Company B 3rd Battalion!
Yeah right. This lie has been told to the public many times. it's all smoke and mirrors. Anyone remember when tact sec's were supposed to hit the street? never happened. They were just put on paper as working the street, but never left the building. Hell, some districts even have 2 tact. sec's now.
How come we never hear that the people pulled onto the street have gone back to their desk jobs?
That's about 5 to 10 thousand coppers we have pulled outside in the last dozen years or so.
Old Play from an Older Playbook.
Is this being sold as another New Strategy? NOT.
Does it have any impact?
NO.

McCarthy could look at all of the full duty female secretaries in hidden positions. They work VRI so they are eligible to work on the street for the month of August. I would assume there are duties that one secretary could handle but there are three females to handle the work. Of course not all inside females are hidden but look at the majority. They are not hard to find.
Remember when Custer thought he had enough troops to take care of the Indians?
Didn't we learn?
This is how a group of people stick together and hold out for what they want. For over 20 years I have watched coppers piss and moan about contracts. But they never stick together for a common goal.
We are total idiots.

Summer Surge?
Shiiiitttt...
Summer's halfway over.
720 you need training on how to be a good sgt not a demanding one . Supervisors remember this is just a job !!!! so show some kindness toward your officers who work under you being ugly does not make you a saint .
WoW !'!!!! Keep those useless people in their nice spot , where the only danger they face is a paper cut.. I'll work 99 or would gather work with a PPO with a day on the street, then with a PO who is afraid of the Mutts
This was Administrative Message today AMMO RECALL:

(OT) just read pathetic article in today's suntimes by the racist Laura Washington with quotes from racist toni per winkle about all the black and brown in jail being arrested for things that she says white kids would never be Arrested for! Ok to I agreed aren't your county sheriffs going into high crime areas which are black and brown arresting your people? How many hundreds of millions toni are being spent on Chicago police overtime to quell crime in your peoples neighborhoods! Why not pull the police out send them to the deserving tax paying areas?
Maybe no not maybe the real reason why your people are in jail is they cause the mayhem! Toni speak out stop all the freebies cut the link cut the illegals slush fund masks them work to get any handouts that way they would be to busy to cause all the murders and crime there's your answer toni that's "change we can believe in"!
It's called "Operation All Out."
Rahm Hears Your Cries.
Over 1,000 Illegals Are On There Way!
Whelp, they said they were creating jobs. What they didn't tell you is that the jobs are not for existing US citizens.
Shame on you if you assumed otherwise.
Managers at Golan’s Moving & Storage in Skokie, Illinois, thought they had a surefire strategy to beat the Teamsters in negotiations for a first contract. In addition to switching lawyers and stalling to try to wait the movers out, they brought in low-paid summer help, students from Romania, Mongolia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Azerbaijan.
But when Golan’s workers, mostly Latino immigrants, decided to strike July 27, most of the students went with them. They too were fed up with conditions at Golan’s.
They 82 strikers have been out a week so far. Asked why they walked, Martín Cortes, who’s been a residential mover at Golan’s for 14 years, said, “El pago y el trato”—the pay and the treatment.
* * *
Student Guestworkers Join Strike
And the students? Silviu Radu paid more than $1,100 and bought a plane ticket from Romania to join a program that placed him at Golan’s for 90 days for the peak moving season, under a J-1 “cultural exchange” visa. He was told he’d be making $250-$300 a week, enough to save money and do some traveling after the job was over.
But he found the students were only allowed to work one day on, one day off—not enough to get by, much less save, though right before the strike some students were given more work than the regular workers. His pay was $10.50 an hour. He—and most of the international students—joined the walkout.
They aren’t the first international student-workers to go on strike. In 2012 J-1 workers who packed candy for Hershey in Pennsylvania won $213,000 in back pay after they struck over abusive conditions, and employers were fined $143,000 for safety and health violations. And J-1 McDonald’s workers walked out in 2013.
Golan’s slogan is “Who said moving isn’t easy?” Readers can visit the company’s Facebook page to comment on that. And Chicago readers can visit Local 705’s picket line.

Illinois with the highest unemployment rate in the land and the apparatchik is approving visas for foreign workers for their corporate campaign party throwing clouted friends.
Where da snitch boxes be at doe?
They should clear out some of the dead weight at homan square-- now that building has a ton of clouted do nothing's --
You can put the police on every block and that won't stop the killing.
In other good news.......
The kid killed at 1100 W. 112th last night was the same kid that shot P.O. Meredith not long ago.
Street karma came back around.
150 from exactly where?....and, if there are 150 bodies, who actually show up for work in the field, don't get sick, can't call their clout....why weren't they in the field before now?
Assign house at sand forensic investigatorss to patrol a high crime area , maybe they would prevent a few crimes
Why hide in office waiting for a murder , waste of manpower.

Your Atty Gen admits he won't follow the law
Off your asses bitches and write some anov's
three years in prison for the assault and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, but was released on parole in March.
WTF was that punk doing out on the street if he shot a cop?
Let's cut to the chase. No more reports written by beat cars. Beat-police only write the report if it involves an arrest.
No more info for the police calls. If there is a call for a parker send a mobile meter maid from OEMC.
Stop sending ET's to BS jobs. Unless there is 10k taken in a burglary or theft, forget about it. The victim can take photos with their own cellphone and text them to the D unit.
Hey Gar what % of service calls come from which communities. This cradle to grave shit has to stop.
Speaking of ANOVS & Contact Cards, 011 dis. had another homicide tonight. I think these bosses are doing a fine job & should in fact get a raise. A raise I tell ya! In my 20 yrs of poooo leasin the West side, this is by far the worst Fillmore has ever been! A big thanks to the CO& XO for your horrific policing strategies. We are back on top of that homicide mountain! More contact cards & ANOVS LOLLOLLOL!
011 Dist is a complete joke. These bosses are so clueless on there policing stratagies. When will it end!!
why don't we take all the do nothings out of the pub trans sec and let them ride in the gettos
So here we go again playing musical chairs pulling PO's from inside spots to man beat cars. If anyone should be in charge of this charade it should be "DJ-Ray", aka 1020. Only he can grab a mic and get a crowd on their feet and on the streets. LOL
I love it when a plan comes together.

8/04/2014 09:00:00 AM
You are so silly.. God forbid they change their Fri-Sat, Sat-Sun or Sun-Mon day off group. That would be disastrous for them.
I was betting this was the 4th time the housecats came out
(OT) just read pathetic article in today's suntimes by the racist Laura Washington with quotes from racist toni per winkle about all the black and brown in jail being arrested for things that she says white kids would never be Arrested for! Ok to I agreed aren't your county sheriffs going into high crime areas which are black and brown arresting your people? How many hundreds of millions toni are being spent on Chicago police overtime to quell crime in your peoples neighborhoods! Why not pull the police out send them to the deserving tax paying areas?
Maybe no not maybe the real reason why your people are in jail is they cause the mayhem! Toni speak out stop all the freebies cut the link cut the illegals slush fund masks them work to get any handouts that way they would be to busy to cause all the murders and crime there's your answer toni that's "change we can believe in"!

Can't argue with facts. Drug use (heroin for instance) is going down amongst blacks, and up amongst whites . How many white kids are you arresting for possession of heroin compared to blacks? Majority of them HAVE to go in to a black neighborhood to get the shit. Crucify me if you want, those are just the facts. Another fact, that isn't really about Chicago but about the whole country, is when people bring up (I can't for the life of me think of the person who supposedly said it, it wasn't who you mentioned though) that someone mentioned that there are to many black and Latinos in jail around the country. Well, like you said, maybe blacks and Latinos should stop committing crimes but whites committing crime - specifically murder - has risen, yet has dropped amongst blacks since the 90s. Once again, Those are just the facts.
Custer left the Gatling guns behind - that was his fatal mistake!!!

The Surge!!! I think the NG would be a good force to use as a Surge. There's an order on the use of the NG, well use then them.
8/04/2014 12:13:00 AM
I'm a Reservist. All you people who think the NG would be good on the streets of Chicago are crazy.
Oh great we already have tact, gangs, sat teams, safe passage ,crossing guard supervisors, caps, 06cars, and whomever else wasting space working a 5-7 hour day and calling for a paper car if they run into something. But not to fear:!!! the paper car ..The patrol division ..The backbone of the department will handle all the paper jobs the prisoner details the transports etc etc
Here's and old fact from an old cop. In 1987, the 11th Dis. all by itself, accounted for 1% of the nation's murders. Really. Kind of gives Rham and McC something to aim for.
35th street must be like a circus clown car.
P.O.'s streaming out the east doorway and then circling around to the west doorway in and endless army of blue!
011 Dist is a complete joke. These bosses are so clueless on there policing stratagies. When will it end!!
How should the bosses be then?
The summer surge next year will include the dept sayimg that 6-9 period furlos will be canceled due to the growing violence even though crime is down. They won their case already with NATO when the cancelled 5 a couple years ago. Anybody who had a summer furlo, enjoy it this year because it's done.
SCC. There seems to be a rumor that the commander from 012 has been asking P/O's why there is zero activity on the watch. She also asked if the Sgt's are addressing roll calls about our concerns or problems. The truth of the matter is that no P/O in their right mind is going to raise their hand and stand out like a sore dumb. Can you please post this comment so that maybe P/O's can let out what's really bothering them and still feel comfortable by remaining anonymous? Let's call this cyber venting. I'm tired of hearing the Sgt's ask at roll call what our issues are. We need to get the ball rolling and hopefully the commander can read this. Thanks. Let the complaints begin!
Here's a summer surge for you. Turns out that the corporations that are making 100's of millions on the immigration crisis are actually the ones transporting the central Americans to our border.

Finally someone else gets it. Thank you for being not being a lemming. All anyone has to do is research this stuff rather than parrot what the media wants you to repeat. Kudos to you.
Does anyone have the details of the stickup at the Fair Share market at 63rd and Narragansett yesterday afternoon. The store and customers were held up.
8/04/2014 10:05:00 AM
The hold up was a slow freight train just north of 60th.
When does Chicago PD come back on

There was no stick up.
If you are the police, look up the the job.
It wa a shoplifter!
If we are fully staffed and don't need to hire anyone why are 500 coppers working their days off everyday?
8/04/2014 07:25:00 AM the city needs to hire civilians to take over the jobs the officers are doing. If we can have civilians processing prisoners we can have civilians doing police clerical work. Comstat a waste of space job can be staffed by programmers that are outsourced or hired full time. Now, I can say a heck of of a whole lot about OCD and the hidden spots there but every time I do, my post is overlooked so I won't mention Holman square. Lastly, the desk dollies In districts. Many of those spots are filled with kids with less then 10 years on the job where someone like me with about 20+ years that has a wealth of police experience and has suffered from traumatic illness and on the job injury is pushed on the street to protect the good citizens of Chicago. these desk dollies are taking care of when they should be working outside. This is the norm across the districts. What the media needs to do it to ask for a stat report created by unit, age and years on the job and then find out exactly what each officer sergeants and lieutenants are doing all day long. I mean don't ask commanders to fill out a report send Someone from the an outside agency to conduct a staffing audit. If you are 26 with 6 years on the job and healthy your ass should be on 3rd watch paying your dues kid we all did it even with clout. Ok well maybe not all of us --those with heavy clout went straight to covert units.
Go back to working unlimited VRI...its bullshit that there are officers wanting to work but cant because of the shit 4 days a month crap...let that be up to the officers for working that...and also its bullshit that only if u get activity u can work VRI hey news flash some people can't get activity if they are not outside....more common sense more efficient working police!!! And many good officers are inside, its a known fact!
OCD : Only Connected Department so stay away thats what my juice says.

No one cares.
But wait.... If we put them on the street it's going to have to be foot patrol. There is no fucking cars to give them.
If all these numbers are correct, it means that when McCarthy first started as Superintendent, 120% of the department worked inside at headquarters.
There are a number of hidden people I know I used to work at 35 th street but many duties are essential to the overall operation of our department. For example medical section, how long do you really want to wait getting cleared from iod or medical? Information services, let's see how long it takes cameras, computers or other essential programs that we all use daily to get fixed. These are just a couple but seriously the department keeps taking these officers and putting them on the street to keep the media quiet. In the mean time things are getting worse and worse from a infrastructure perspective. I know I know all you hard chargers are going to beat me up over this but this isn't the way to run a police department
8/04/2014 07:25:00 AM
It Should not require a police officer to clear you from the medical or repair a computer.You were hired to be the police,dont cry because you may have to actually do some police work occasionally.

Find something else to bitch about and quit making this stuff up. It was only half of 5, 5a and it was only cancelled aftyer a pre planned event NATO and there was also another pre plannedf event that was cancelled.

If you had a set of balls you would tell the sergeants your concerns at roll call. Same thing happened with us in 004 a few years ago and we (5-6 of us) got together and sat down with two watch sergeants and told them our concerns. No; they didn't fix them all but they did fix a few. If you don't have any brothers or sisters on your watch who would back you up, maybe you're the problem. The blog isn't the place to fix stuff on your watch, moron.
Grab the academy people who have been Hiding there for years teaching BS classes like Tara, Legitimacy, etc. Waste of time for us - but a nice hiding spot for them.
Ahhhh, but I'm sure the 15th district will still manage to hide 5 officers on the desk each night. I guess watching television for 8 hours is top priority there.
A "cadre"?
OK Mao.

Cut the dead weight from the Academy! There is a boatload there. Officers whose only job is to do automoated timekeeping for how many recruits? Officers whose only job is to process incoming returning service officers (how many a day, a week, a month?) Officers who work the duty desk handling only attendance for how many recruits?
Come on, that's three bodies alone that do little to nothing all day long!!!!!! PUT THEM ON THE STREET!
8/04/2014 08:11:00 AM
Strike me down if I am wrong but, as a supervisor this sounds like another disgruntled staff member that lost her cushy spot this year. Say what you want about the unit, but the back stabbing. gossip spreading, snitching has suddenly stopped! Gosh darn, it really is a pleasant unit to work for. Move on, nothing to see here.
Does an xo work more than two hours , may be present for 5-7 hours , that's about it . Sad but true many of the xo's should still be working a beat car .
Political , cannot pass a test , merit all the way .
150 extra police...wow.....let's say a third are white shirts so that leaves 100 extra police. So with days off, furlos, different watches, that leaves about 10 extra cops a day.
And no comment from F O P ; bot even on the website, is this the vacation time like congress !!!

?????????????????????????????????????????
Makes no difference who said it.
It is true
There are a lot of officers working full duty at the Academy that have very little job functions.
Why can't they go work the street?
And, backstabbing, gossiping, snitching - will NEVER stop there. It is a toxic environment where every employee is jealous of what another employee gets away with. Gym staff covering each other and working 4 hr days. Range staff covering each other and some not even showing up for work! IDQC comes and goes as they please.
The whole unit is toxic and doesn't know what it means to work a full tour!
>>>Stop sending ET's to BS jobs. Unless there is 10k taken in a burglary or theft, forget about it. The victim can take photos with their own cellphone and text them to the D unit.
Hey Gar what % of service calls come from which communities. This cradle to grave shit has to stop.
8/04/2014 07:21:00 PM<<<
Sure, have the victims account for everything before calling 9-1-1. They can present those cell phone photos in court if an arrest is made (yeah right) and they can use baking soda and Scotch Tape to lift fingerprints.
Tell everyone to save the burglars trouble and just leave their doors open.
8/04/2014 07:25:00 AM how about the city hire civilians to replace all the inside Clerical positions and put those officers on the street. Or -/ is it about where to put the connected after their job is fled by a civilian.

I call bullshit. If you have that much time on the job, you could have a desk spot by bid. You just never bid for it and you won't because you love to hear yourself whine all day. Truth is, lots of people don't want desk spots because in the busy districts, the desks get very busy which means you do reports all night non stop on many days. Now, it's easier for you to hang out at a convenience store drinking the free beverages and reading the magazines and that's why with all your time on the job, you stay on the street.
How long will it take for all the people with inside spots that could be handled by civilians get their asses on the street where they belong? Perhaps that is the reason we are not getting more people, rahm sees the mismanagement of resources in our department and wants the department to fix this problem before hiring more personnel. Its not a big secret if people are complaining about it on the blog for so long. Until this happens, dont expect more hiring, and unless there is more hiring our pensions are in worse shape. The people in charge need to grow some balls and get rid of all these inside people or we all suffer.
Where do Rahm and McCarthy keep pulling these same 150 officers from????
Yeah right. This lie has been told to the public many times. it's all smoke and mirrors. Anyone remember when tact sec's were supposed to hit the street? never happened. They were just put on paper as working the street, but never left the building. Hell, some districts even have 2 tact. sec's now.
What about watch secretaries? That position got "cut" years ago but they are still around. They are just listed as footmen. And don't forget about the district CAPS office. They are the modern day version of the clown car. I've seen so many come out of a certain north side district's caps office that I thought Ringling Brothers was in town.
You are so silly.. God forbid they change their Fri-Sat, Sat-Sun or Sun-Mon day off group. That would be disastrous for them.
You are correct sir. Remember, the ONLY reason they do not work the streets is because THEY HAVE FAMILIES!

Then grab a radio,put your vest on and go outside for a while. I'm sure your boss would be willing to accommodate you for at least 1 or 2 days a week for a couple of hours.
Or make a choice.....do I A) Continue to work inside where I am almost always guaranteed to go home on time, eat my lunch in peace ( for way more than the 1/2 allotted street units ) and not have to worry about the weather until I have to walk out to my car. Or....B)Asked to be put back on the watch. In a beat car. Answering all sorts of fun calls, ie: noise complaints, baby mamma drama, a dog being walked without a leash, getting that "holding a shoplifter" call 30 mins before check off. Or my favorite, having to answer calls on another coppers beat because they have been down in the station inputting "contact cards" into the computer for the last hour.
So, which is it going to be?

All you people who complained about the Shields regime, please tell me, where is the Angelo Administration? Will somebody go down there and please check for pulses and signs of life because no one in the actual police department can tell if there is anyone occupying that building on Washington. The only sign of activity is a Pat Camden sighting from time to time.
Talk about crickets chirping.

Simple; you put them out on the street and have a press conference to announce it. Then, after couple of weeks, they trickle back to their inside spots. Then, when you've run out of 'new strategies', you call a press conference and launch them out on the street again. And - repeat as necessary.

You'll be the very first ignorant asshole to motherfuck the poor recruit for not sprinkling what YOU THINK is the proper amount of pixie dust to recover prints at the scene of YOUR buggery - forcible entry.

Sure as shit not a recruit either.
Fuck off bean counter.
There are many damned good reasons for specialized and experienced people who underwent training/certification for certain tasks within a Police Department.
One size fits all bean counterism is a quick and sure way to destroy a Police department.
The money savings in eliminating a pay grade walking in the front door is offset by paying o/t and other such additional costs walking out the back door...

I am not an E.T. and I wonder if you were being sarcastic.
If not you are so full of crap and are jealous of anyone of who is smarter than you and able to make a few extra bucks doing their job. A good E.T. is part scientist, part artist, part psychologist and always a good cop. I have seen good E.T.s take cars apart and dissect rooms hunting for fingerprints and trace evidence.
You on the other hand have to be one of those cops who always says, "scene contaminated, no E.T. needed." to cover skimpy case reports because the last thing you would want is for an arrest to be made by the Dicks and you have to testify to your report.
