Proof Rahm Lied
...and McCompStat and everyone else had a finger in selling this lie to the public:
- No doubt, you've heard City Hall, certain aldermen, and the police department itself issue endless statements about Chicago having “more police on the beat” than when Rahm Emanuel took office in 2011.
Well, that's not true and the police department’s own documents prove it.

Rahm lie? Surely you jest? He was baffled by bullshit, that's all!
OK. They stripped the whole city to keep Obamaville safe.
Caps dead(?):
"To her right is, uh, Ron, um . . ."
An aide leaned over to help him out: "Holt."
"Holt!" said McCarthy. "From the CAPS office."
It was a telling moment. The Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy office is the one that's supposed to coordinate the department's efforts at community organizing and neighborhood crime prevention—the one whose budget has been cut from $9 million in 2000 to half that this year to nothing in 2013.
Yet McCarthy says that's all part of a new, "revitalized" approach to community policing in Chicago. He says it will put more patrol officers on the beat, empower block clubs to reclaim corners from drug dealers, and reduce gang violence—all without more police officers, which Mayor Rahm Emanuel once promised but McCarthy insists are unnecessary. The city can't afford them either, but McCarthy doesn't talk about that.
The stats from city are interesting. The crime blog that did the map is way off. They have 3 districts gaining the most cops (002, 020, 022).. Lets look at the beat cops for those three districts. 002 has biggest increase because map doesnt count for 2012 merger (but the map counts 019's 2012 merger). So that part of map is a mess and it also relates to 009 and 001 which gained part of 021. Moving on, 020 gained a total 5 beat cops. 022 actually lost 1 beat cop. Forget the amateur hour map and look at the raw data.
Just A citizen here
"According to CWB analysis of Chicago Police Department documents secured via a reader's Freedom Of Information Act filing, Chicago had 491 fewer officers in July of this year than it had in October 2011. Translation: there are 4% fewer cops overall than in 2011.
And the number of officers assigned to districts—the number of cops “on the beat”—has fallen by 674, a loss of nearly 9%. More cops on the beat? Hardly."
-From the CIB blog
So does this mean there are over a thousand less police officers on the street(491 retired & etc.& 674 not actually working on the street)? Wow.
Is there a reason, Rahm and McCarthy have not been arrested and charged with fraud upon the citizens of chicago and conspiracy to commit fraud. No doubt these two clowns continued to pat each other on the back and bold face lie week after week about safety and the number of police patrolling our streets. When they pushed for merging police districts like the new 19th district they promised not to decrease beat cops as part of the consolidation. well the new 19 has been operating with 25-28% percent fewer officers on the streets for the last 2+ years compared to the staffing in the years before Rahm. Lakeview suffered immediate consequences and still suffers from major uptick of violent crimes, burglaries. This serious increase in violent crimes and general mayhem especially at night is clearly the result of lack of police presence and the dept inability to respond even to serious 911 calls promptly due to no available cars. During this same time they were lying about all the above, they were also involved in various schemes to alter the raw crime data and number of police reports and along with major pressure from above to down code certain violent crimes to help give the impression that crime is down. They did this all for their own benefit to remain in office and enrich themselves....that is fraud
!
backlog problems. no cars to send to "a person with a knife." the job sits for a while...more calls come in....now "man cuts woman with knife". a car finally assigned...now no back up available. There are more "fixed posts" then cars available to answer calls....and the a-team is tying up the air running a name for an a.n.o.v. while this is going on.
Safety Alert: Wait for back up. No superman shit. It can happen to anyone. Be cautious, back each other up. ride on the job to assist and write your other paper later. Stay down if you have to. Get back-up to these units...it could be you next time.
Sergeants should ride 10-4 and handle jobs until more P.O.s are hired or mission teams and fixed posts are disbanded to handle calls.
No post should be "fixed" as it is dangerous because it is predictable. Might as well just park an empty squad car there cause that is no different than having a $80,000/year P.O. sit there and smile.
Target the Shooters....sitting and trying to deter them with fixed posts isn't working. To hell with piss bum arrests. Have all tact teams hunt shooters and associates and scoop them up for anything reasonable.
A.n.o.v.s do not stop bullets when the guy puts it folded into his shirt pocket.
Physical arrests take these people out of the equation.
Open lockups and push physical arrests.
Free advise to save the city we live in.
Heh...
The nice middle class white people (and folks) of the North Side have been punked by a pandering, hateful and disrespectful little race card playing North Shore Shit-Ass who would rather play games with YOUR safety and steal Police resources FROM YOU to flood the nesting grounds of a catered to constituency, some of whom are riding the Red, Blue and Brown Lines to YOUR neighborhoods because THEY KNOW from where Rahm is stealing Police manpower from.
Just like the old Baseball analogy: "Hit 'em where they ain't!"
You people had better get mad and fight Rahm and his wisenheimer, propeller-head idea people back or you'll be fending for yourselves when even more members of Dude Inc. start showing up and prowling YOUR yards and alleys waiting to catch YOU unaware...
You people are nowhere near as safe as you think you are.
Hell... NO decent person in Chicago is safe.
But you can be your ass that Rahm Emanuel and HIS family sleep like innocents at night while you're waking up at every bump in the night.
>Pfffft!<
You all won't do a damned thing except accidentally on purpose insure Rahm gets re-elected in February.
Tear his ass up on this issue.
VOTE, DAMN YOU!
I still cant believe that our numbers are as high as 12,000. That has to be off. We have lost over 400-500 for a couple years now. Even 300 a year after year puts us lower than that. We all know that the police adademy is a ghost town these days. Districts are combined, and every one is short manpower. Where can I go to get the straight poop! My guess is around 10,000 sworn police. Am I off my guess?? Feel free to chime in if you have the real facts please? Not that you heard at the tavern accross from the station on a late night. The city has kept the number deeply hidden. I for on would like to see an audit. I can only pray that Homeland security will intercept somthing before it explodes in Chicago God Forbid.
We are living in the purfect storm.....The tension in this city is palpable. And I cvant help the feeling that there is something big on the way. Due Dilligence officers, be aware, and move juduciously out in public. Who knows what the devils hoarde has planned next.

Boystown blog, look into the manpower numbers in the detective division and evidence technicians and you would be even more angered.
So what does this all prove? All politicians, ALL of them, occasionally lie or maybe exaggerate a little bit. So Rahm lied. He is just being a normal politician, and tomorrow nobody will care.
Just add in the 200 State and Federal LEO. Everything will be fine.
Trust Rahm and Trust The Machine.
So what you're saying is that the 00 2nd district which is nothing but empty lots is up 25%? Fudge that, I say give us help in the real districts! Sorry kids but the deuce is dead so spread the wealth!!!

Try about 9100... may be in the 8000's now?
Check those districts crime index verses there stats at compstsat. They say McDummy always yelling about those contact cards! How we ain't doing enough. Now we know why. If your short that many officers can never make up difference.

9/26/2014 03:34:00 AM
I don't disagree with you. Just want to make the point that 002 is showing such an increase because it merged with 021. Also, 002's officers are spread pretty thin themselves because after that merge, that district is pretty huge. Also, they're down quite a bit of officers since the merge.
Only reason 2nd district is up 25% is because they combined district with 21. They counted the officers from 21 as increase in officers.
Keep my pretty loft safe. I demand it.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
After roll call go to the radio room to get keys to the squads, radios and ticket books if needed. What do you know no cars available, NO radios but plenty of ticket books. If your lucky and get a squad it's likely to have over 100,000 miles on it, no pdt and rattles like a mother fucker. I had a squad the other night had a 131,000 miles on it. This department is about as well equipped as Haiti's police department.
Looks like Rahm just "got" his balls caught in a wringer. Could not happen to a better POS.
Karen, nows your chance. Run with this. Stop talking about marijuana. Stop worrying about your image and weight problems. Pummel Rahm with this. I don't think you'll win and become mayor - I just want to see Rahm and McCarthy squirm and people are listening to you.
Thank you for sharing the report, SCC.
Should someone be interested in seeing the department's numbers for specific districts, we have a scan of the city's documents HERE
There was a call in 024 the other day on 2nd watch where a motorcycle vs car occurred. Car fled the scene and motor cycle guy laid on the ground for 45 minutes before car was assigned. Apparently the passing motorists were too busy talking on their cell phones to notice dude laying by the curb. Thankfully he had non life threatening injuries. CPD and CFD are both understaffed. Turns out CFD was called but the nearest ambulance had to be dispatched from Harlem & Irving to East Rogers Park that took 45 minutes to arrive. God help us if a first responder is injured in the line of duty and needs help.
This guy is a chooch.

Just ran active police officers through computer and we are hovering around 9200. Eventually we will be under 9,000 officers......
But the FOP doesn't think holding the city to task for failure to hire so they give you cars in a contract.......
Vote NO!!!!!!!!
We all knew it was a lie, and these aldermen were all lying to us, too. I'm in 016 and the alderman kept telling us that it was "just a rumor on the internet" and that police in our district weren't being sent to the south or west sides...right.
you cant even park at 35th anymore,i see more officers outside smoking or at starbucks having a nice cup of coffee.How to you bid to 35th? I do not smoke,however i would love to drink 3 cups of coffee at 45 min a cup..
OT: from the Chicago Tribune, Sep 26, 2014
---
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's proposal to change the terms of the drug war by lessening the penalties for low-level possession is getting blowback from the suburbs, with some prosecutors and police chiefs saying it sends an unhelpful message at a time when heroin overdoses are claiming hundreds of lives.
Emanuel said this week that he wants the state legislature to change the possession of 1 gram or less of any controlled substance to a misdemeanor from a Class 4 felony, which can bring prison time and lessen the chances of future employment.
He said that would be a more efficient and compassionate way to handle addiction, and would free police to deal with more serious crimes. But some in suburban law enforcement say they don't agree with the solution, and don't want it forced upon them.
"The north suburbs are seeing a very serious heroin epidemic and an alarming increase in heroin overdose deaths," said Des Plaines police Chief William Kushner, who spent nearly 30 years in the Chicago Police Department. "It's an equal-opportunity killer that does not discriminate, and if we allow any kind of possession of heroin to be a misdemeanor, shame on our society."
---
So if the penalty for small bags of heroin and cocaine is reduced, might this have the effect of increasing the demand for small quantities? And where do many of these users get their supply?
Why on the streets of Chicago!
So Rahm really does care about raising the standard of living on the south and west side! A backhanded way of increasing the minimum wage!
How very clever! Rahm is really concerned about the main business enterprise in the hood. And I thought he didn't care.
Where the hell is FLOP with the correct numbers? Oh yeah Dean and company are too busy pushing Rhammy's sh!t contract down our throats. Why doesn't. FLOP respond to these lies of exaggerated manpower. One may think that Deano was told ....No bad press for the tiny dancer until post contract outcome and post election. Deano was explaining that a sh!tstorm was approaching us regarding pension issues very soon and that he was coordinating a strong front line in preparation. but why if our contract was so good. VOTE NO. I for one am sick of flop acting so concerened about a sole part of the contract with one side of their face and threatening we will be in hellfire if we don't ratify over the same pension issues. Lies. Dyla Hata.

Per the Pension Board, 12,100 and some change paying into Pension Fund....don't forget, 9 1/2 deleted 1200 from budget with a stroke of pen.
Good job SCC, throwing a flag on the Rahmster. Rahm is such a total loser.
Call the next case. Not a cop.
What year did they base this map on?
Both 016 and the airports are down over 50% from peak times.
I imagine most other districts are in the same boat.
Don't forget, they keep decreasing the authorized manpower.
We are really short about 3000 officers.
The 2nd district must count all those LAME-o's at HQ!

Vote yes uninformed conspiracy theorist morons.
According to their documents on that page, there are only 6536 P.O's assigned to patrol in the districts. The other document states that there are 12000 total sworn members. If we agree that there are 2000 P.O's assigned to units (which is way over the number that I believe there is) where are the other 3500 sworn members, are they all supervisors?
Too many Adminstrative positions.
Too many pencil pushers, period.
It's too crowded in the Commanders offices in Districts and HQ, too many in CAPS,Review,citations, crossing guards, desk, mission teams, etc.
Plenty of one man cars after sunset too. Plenty of days off denied.
But be assured that YOUR MAYOR and SUPERINTENDANT has your best interest in mind.
Now get back to your box and get an event number.
Rahm's chances for Presidency in the future are basically done.His lies are catching up to him.
Stealing police resources from taxpayers does not bode well !!
Okay, there's fewer of you guys and gals now out on the mean streets patrolling & fighting crime. But look on the bright side, what he's done for the people -- he put in BIKE LANES!!
--> Brain dead yuppie voters: 'Woo-Hoo!...Yippee!...Bike Lanes, Thank You Rahm, we loves ya pal, ya got our votes!' (snort-giggle-snort)<--

Calm down. Nothing is hidden and its no secret.
CLEAR has the total number of sworn officers at a little over 12,000 All you have to do is add up the number of po's,sgts, lts,captains and exempt.
Also read your pension newsletter. As of July 15,2014 there are 12,015 sworn members paying into the pension. Those are the pensions figures and they get audited annually.
Those are the facts.
If you choose to believe all the conspiracy figures go ahead.
"According to CWB analysis of Chicago Police Department documents secured via a reader's Freedom Of Information Act filing, Chicago had 491 fewer officers in July of this year than it had in October 2011. Translation: there are 4% fewer cops overall than in 2011.

Whats the surprise? Last year Rahm wrote out around 1200 sworn jobs from the budget. They are not going to be replaced. No mayor is going to hire more police than those budgeted
obama hussein's district is getting extra police so what about the rest of the city?! they knew they had to do something because there were shootings and robberies quite often and only a block away from his nest

Ferguson Erupts ... Again: Protester Threatens Cops 'None Of You Are Safe'
These Two Videos Highlight Renewed Tension In The Town
http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/ferguson-erupts-again-protester-threatens-cops-none-you-are-safe
Call 016 on the PAX and ask how many officers are on days TOTAL. You will be AMAZED. 016 has been calling around looking for help on the weekends - our district has a pretty good working relationship with them and we've been helping out - they return the favor with white shirts when we need them.
Rumor has it Dean Andrews got wind of what was happening and sent a stern e-mail to 016 telling them to knock off asking for help. We're always happy to help as most of our officers live up that way.
So, not only does the city $^$% you out of help according to this map, the department itself wants to %^$# out out of unofficially asking for help, too.
Now retired... I posted this on that article.
"Because those other crimes can be covered up on paper stats. 30-some years ago Pam Zekman did a series called "Killing Crime on Paper". It showed how crimes in Chicago were constantly being downgraded or UNFOUNDED in order to make good stats. Your Burglary became a Theft, your Theft became a Non-Criminal Lost Property Case. As a new CPD Detective at the time I thought it was great, we were not expected to lie to make stats go down. It is all beng done again. Some crime reports are BS, but many other are being skewed so Rahm and his Hatchetman McCarthy can boast "Crime is down." There is the other great lie.
BTW, even some murders are covered up as Non-Criminal Death Investigations."
I think they will add it to the Comments.
well, 017 shows +/-3% but it is without a doubt very short on manpower.
Pretty much if his mouth is open and words are coming out,he's lieing about something,he wouldn't be a politician if he were honest!
But he has the most corporate donations and that makes him a winner.
You want to be a winner too don't ya?
Yes you do. You want to be on the winning team -- so that's why I'mma vote for him again.
Why you think corporations gave him all that money to run...because he's smart or because he's ...what?
Corporations are smart else they wouldn't have all that money. (Unless they cheated or are corrupt)
I wanna be smart like the corporate bankers and Rahm and so Imma voting for Rahm like they are.
When it's over I'll get to say I picked the winner and y'all be losers.
HAHAHAHAHA /SARCASM
I think the handwriting is on the wall.
If you want your raises the money will come from cheating the pensions and if you want your pensions the money will come from your current wages.
The TIF funds and other pockets filled with money will remain status quo.
WE NEED THAT MONEY! (we==rahm)
When you see the flames from shit that Rahm is gonna set on fire at the Great Chicago Fire Fest remember. That's our tax dollars, our wages, our pensions that's going up.
Thanks Rahm!
OT The chief of Ferguson apologized to Brown's family and then marched with the protestors, resulting in fights and several arrests. I am betting he'll be resigning soon.

Got 10-12 1 st watch coppers sitting outside the 016th district at 2135 hrs with NO CARS!!!!! Good to see some manpower but without cars it means nothing, with some beats over 3-4 miles away they can't even walk to them.
omg , 10 sector in 22 is bigger than the 7th district and only has 3 beat cars
Hey....When is the next K9 test??

Experience proves us conspiracy folks right every time. We've been victimized by the administration for decades. By the time you comprehend it, it'll be too late.
We have 9100 officers in actual patrol.The other 2800 paying into our pension are detectives, and supervisors.we don't have 12, 000 patrolmen. These are pension board stats, the most reliable.
You know the thing that bothers me is we preach the mantra "for every day you don't train someone else out there is..." Well Chicago is the kid who sits on the couch playing call of duty eating Cheetos while ISIS is training every day... Less cops, more administration, less cars, less things that work, dispatchers at times that can not even speak a human tongue, forget English.., yes folks we are living in what is referred to as "a soft target"
And yet they keep bringing more po's into 35th.
Thought Rham moved a thousand officers back to the streets ??
That did not last long....
Typical

Seems the supt is releasing a foi freedom of information request from the tribune on 1,238 active dept members with more than 10 cr numbers from jan 06 to July 30 2014!

Look at the crime lab. It's down to 11 or 12 officers.
Of those only 7 work the street. The other 4 or 5 are " special ones" who don't have to work the street but are allowed to hang out inside.

Hi SCC n Kids. 10 G here. Enjoy the weather. Hawk will be upon us quicker than the ballerina. Nice NFL Sunday in WK 3. Picked up 9 Large. Take that every week. Nice piece of change over the season. But have a lil catching up to do. Not much but learned NEVER chase too quickly. And heard through talk that I hate the Bears and my plays are always against them. Not true. I like the Bears albeit not a huge fan. Make my picks not with the heart. After all Bears scored a TD from Jets one yard line and only gained 1 yard total offense on the "drive". LOL. I digress. Got my plays in early but should have done it sooner with line moving. Took for 10 large Det -1 and the hook over Jets. Lions aint too well disciplined-haven't been for yrs-but VERY talented. And GB -1 and the hook over Bears. Just looking the Bears should be 0-3. NOT a good football team. But good luck bear fans. Always wish all good luck. Let's get on a roll SCC n Kids. Feb will be here before we know it. Luv U guys n Gals!
Before they closed 013, the citizens protested but Rham assured them they wouldn't be affected by police service. Dumb liberals they are. With the combination, 012 lost upwards of 3 beats, they stretched out the beats so big they are over a mile long in every direction.
That's right, 1 fucking beat car to cover all this area. They lost 6 officers a shift. Three missing cars to answer calls. But their police service wasn't affected. lol.
But I don't give a fuck, these people vote Democratic, will vote for Rham again, will vote for another Democrat after that, and when the precinct captain comes along door to door for Democratic signatures, they will sign on the dotted line like dumb fucking sheep. "Would you mind if I put a sign on your lawn?" Sure, go ahead. Then they're scratching their head on the south side wondering why their neighborhood changed. Clearing, Garfield Ridge, Scottsdale, over by Archer Ave, near Comiskey, etc. Adios amigos- D O N E done. Insanely dumb people.
Now, all I have to look forward to when I come home form work is picking up the 1 or 2 Modelo beer cans off my front lawn every Sunday, wonder where the next fence is tagged, look at shag haircuts, listen to "My Son isn't in a gang", gunshots, and circus music at 3 a.m. on a Monday. 6 fucking fiestas going on all at once and see who can be the loudest. Ignorant mother fuckers. Try and shut them down and have an illegal start to recite the United States Constitution to you asking for your warrant to be in their backyard. Unbelievable. 008th district is toast. Eat the shit now. How does it taste?
"I called you over an hour ago." Fuck you, did you vote for the machine? "Yes", well too fucking bad.
Clearing used to be great to raise a family. Middle class to poor white mixed with decent Hispanics who fucking care about their kids not being in a gang and their property. Now burglaries are through the roof, gangs, tagging. The cartels are here. The average south sider has no clue about that.
Can I get an event #?
"So what you're saying is that the 00 2nd district which is nothing but empty lots is up 25%? Fudge that, I say give us help in the real districts! Sorry kids but the deuce is dead so spread the wealth!!!"
That's inaccurate. When 002 and 021 were combined there were 422 PO's assigned. Last time I looked we had less than 330. That is a 20% REDUCTION in manpower since the consolidation.
Oh, and don't forget- half of those P.O.s that the districts do get work the watch for one period, then go to tac or gangs where they are shipped back out to work in the shit holes from where they came. Smoke and mirrors are magicians' and politicians' best friends!
Experience proves us conspiracy folks right every time. We've been victimized by the administration for decades. By the time you comprehend it, it'll be too late.

My vest is falling apart and with this new contract about to get ratified and shoved down our throat, I would appreciate someone throwing me a bone to save a little dough... Not being cheap, just trying to be practical.. Every penny seems to count these days..
officers should be able to bid for any non-street assignment based on seniority. This seems very reasonable.
OT.
When 013 merged with 012 they had over 500 cops as of 2012 december going into 2013. Its now 2014 Sept and we are under 351. Squad scheduling, and utter nonsense people have been leaving like crazy. For the last few openings over 20-28 people each period bidding out. 17, 16, 11, 15, 7, 9 are becoming mini 12th districts. Ask yourself why are people bidding out in the masses? And its guys with time leaving, not just guys with under 10 years.
35th street is nothing! You should see all the P.o.'s at the academy doing nothing but working out and then ducking. Can't blame them though. If there are no recruits, scam all you can before it ends and you are now a late car on a watch and probably not 2nd watch with weekends off.
Got 10-12 1 st watch coppers sitting outside the 016th district at 2135 hrs with NO CARS!!!!! Good to see some manpower but without cars it means nothing, with some beats over 3-4 miles away they can't even walk to them.

Don't worry the flop got to the bottom of this in the new contract!!
You only had to give up your left nut to get new cars!
Will this map effect my VRI cashola?
12 is down 20 percent. With all the P/O's that have hidden spots in the office its probably more like 30. Multiple P/O s working in the commanders office. Clouted up crybabies.
I had heard at one time cpd had close to 13,000+employees
now its down to around 8500
Boystown every day produces the radio calls and how long they take.
They been pointing out for months there are no cops on the beat and when one does show its to make a report pretty much after the fact
They are on that aldercreature's ass every day tom tunny about it

We have 9100 officers in actual patrol.The other 2800 paying into our pension are detectives, and supervisors.we don't have 12, 000 patrolmen. These are pension board stats, the most reliable.
9/26/2014 04:41:00 PM
Not true. There are people working on other departments, Federal spots, and positions loosely defined as law-enforcement related, as well as those on loa, paying into the pension to gain additional years of service. Like to know what THOSE numbers are.

OT The chief of Ferguson apologized to Brown's family and then marched with the protestors, resulting in fights and several arrests. I am betting he'll be resigning soon.

And the DOJ is bragging they pressured Ferguson into banning officers from wearing wristbands supporting the officer.
Rahm is counting on "Him Self" to quash any terrorist threat directed at Chicago in particular.
If some jihad asshole or a home grown crazy manages to light the wick in Chicago, it's Rahm who will be exposed as a prize asshole because of his efforts to destroy CPD and give the TIF slush fund monies to his campaign contributors.
Of course... If something nasty does go "BOOM!" the Chicago media will spin it as being the fault of The Police...
How Rahm has so far avoided being whacked with the shit-sock of culpability for ANY of his fucked-up policy decisions is an amazing thing to witness...
Maybe the 16th district should be cut in half and become either 23 or 21.

"Because those other crimes can be covered up on paper stats. 30-some years ago Pam Zekman did a series called "Killing Crime on Paper". It showed how crimes in Chicago were constantly being downgraded or UNFOUNDED in order to make good stats. Your Burglary became a Theft, your Theft became a Non-Criminal Lost Property Case. As a new CPD Detective at the time I thought it was great, we were not expected to lie to make stats go down. It is all beng done again. Some crime reports are BS, but many other are being skewed so Rahm and his Hatchetman McCarthy can boast "Crime is down." There is the other great lie.
BTW, even some murders are covered up as Non-Criminal Death Investigations."
I think they will add it to the Comments.

Ever hear of someone actually charged with attempted burglary?
Me either.
>>>9/26/2014 01:25:00 AM
Look at the crime lab. It's down to 11 or 12 officers.
Of those only 7 work the street. The other 4 or 5 are " special ones" who don't have to work the street but are allowed to hang out inside.
9/26/2014 05:55:00 PM<<<
I am not from the Crime Lab but many years ago I did observe and assist them on projects. Those "special ones" hanging out inside having to catalogue and maintain the chain of custody of evidence, see that the evidence is processed and preparing exhibits for court. I could go on.
Yes, they are special.
If the Crime Lab has been stripped of qualified manpower, whose fault is that.
And the DOJ is bragging they pressured Ferguson into banning officers from wearing wristbands supporting the officer.
yet another reason to impeach Holder before he can flee
Time to replace the xo and commander in 16 .
10-12police officers standing around , not out on patrol because No Cars , it is time to adjust the hours and start the officers when cars are available .
This is result of Merit Promotions .
This is a problem citywide not just in 16 .
How many full duty police officer are assigned to office duty or non police assignments ,CAPS Office , Mail room , ERPS ,Crime LAB , COMPUTER , IAD , let civilians investigate wrong doing .
we need a class of EVIDENCE TECHS!they are severely short on all watches!
I see 017 is at plus/minus 3%?
In 2000, they had rapids on midnights. It is 2014 and about half the time, 3rd watch has 1 rapid. Of course, midnights hasn't had rapids for years now. I'm just wondering how that 3% number managed to be, it's not based on the old numbers, when we had [police on the street.
Osama RHAM Laden has spoken.
Now bow you infidels

How about all the girls on the desk. None of them have a bid spot. Why aren't they on the street like everybody else. Or the f/4 traffic car who gets called in to work the desk everyday then goes home. Where is iad when you need them
Anybody got the word of the new initiative that the police memorial is putting forth regarding the bullet proof vest program?? P.Cline was supposively trying to raise money to defray our, CPD's, out of pocket cost to purchase a new vest by up to 75%.... I guess we, CPD, got left out of the new law for the dept to purchase new vests for us.. I know, I know, we get uniform allowance, but the way I see it, the vest is like driving a safe automobile, it's essential for us to do our job safely... Any insight would be appreciated... My vest is falling apart and with this new contract about to get ratified and shoved down our throat, I would appreciate someone throwing me a bone to save a little dough... Not being cheap, just trying to be practical.. Every penny seems to count these days..
You must not care to much for your own safety pal. If your vest is falling apart buy a new one. Vest are only good for about 5 years. Buy one, THAT'S why the city gives us a uniform allowance. You want the city to buy your equipment AND give you money. I don't want go to anymore police funerals. I've been to far too many in my 20 years but if you eat it then its on your own fault. Think about your family and remember you can write it off at tax time. Don't wait for somebody else to buy it for you.

Well they still do it in 019 every day at roll call they keep doing "training" on how to make a burglary a theft and how to put a theft on a missile card. Keep cooking the books they wont need any Police there it will be crime free

Does this include you? How can a officer bounce from headquarters to the academy? Must be nice to be a clout baby, get a good job then cry about it on the blog. I am curious how you work at the academy? Or are you also hiding? Quit crying or go back to a beat car.

They already have civilians investigating wrong doing its called IPRA asshole.
In 99% of the rest of this country the police Union and Superintendent wouldn't allow city hall to control how the Police budget is utilized once it was approved by the city.
What caused this department to be able to be screwed up this way? Daley Sr.? Washington?
Just curious.
Have deputy chief supervise districts , eliminate the political gold braid commander ansd let Lt. Be commander of district , xO another useless political appointed , never passed a test rank .

Maybe the 16th District should unincorporated itself from the city and become a town onto itself. I'd vote for that along with no more Section 8 housing, parental responsibility, keeping our tax money ...

22 has e tra man power , total BS .
Nine beat cars for a district twice the size of englewood .
Less beat cars than 1975 when it opened , that is correct .
In 1975 , 22 had three paddy wagons , one per sector and rapid response sector cars , also had police officers assigned to robichaux park , Ada park , brained park When manpower permitted had a car for oak dale and Kennedy park . Caps was not 6 officers hiding out , it was one sgt and one police officer .
Higher taxes , less police protection , not a good thing for citizens . Bt . 2211,2212 & 2213 cover more than the entire englewood district . Englewood has 15 beat cars , a wagon , 5 tactical cars , specialized units , officers working days off all the time . Demand more from city hall , it is an election year .
Do you feel safe .
