Cake, Coffee WOOOOOOO!

A farewell to Leo:
  • On Friday, 23 January 2015, from 12pm to 2pm, the 007th District will be hosting cake and coffee for Deputy Chief Leo Schmitz. Please join us in the community room to bid the Deputy Chief farewell and good luck.
As he's provided us with more than a little material in the past few years, you know we'll be there.

Leo's now a guy with serious whack. A lot of people will be there with you, SCC, but the reason they'll be there is because they're hoping he'll bring them over to ISP along with him.

The departing mourning bunting is prominently displayed over the entrance of the Englewood station. The Greek columns are in place in the community room. Carpenters completed the six foot high stage so the Deputy Chief can address the throngs amassed in his honor. Electricians fined tuned sound system with just the right reverberation. The enormous banner proclaiming “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” will be the farewell backdrop.

The Harvard on Halsted Street or Kennedy-King College honor society will perform a hip-hop retirement rap rendition while adorned in orange corrections jumpsuits. The Jesse White tumblers are scheduled to perform a cartwheel tribute entitled “I got the bounce y’all-We out of here!”

A special guest, Malik Bryant 13, from Englewood will thank Santa for answering his “Letter to Santa” after seeking safety in his hood. Malik’s letter will be read in its entirety at the ceremony. Santa made good his promise of Hope and Change delivering Dep. Chief Schmitz for the good people of Englewood. Tonight, president o’bama will congratulate, heap praises and give a shout out the retiring Dep. Chief from his home town during his state of the union address.

The S.W.A.T. Team was scheduled for a 21 gun salute. This was cancelled since there are approximately 30 or so shot spotters near the station. It is feared C.P.I.C. personnel would get excited way too prematurely tying up Zone 6 cluttering the airwaves with all the shot spotter activations disrupting essential pertinent meaningful radio transmissions.

Air traffic will be diverted around the 007th District Headquarters. The departing Dep. Chief will be wearing all his medals. The true magnetic pole will be disrupted and the compasses on aircraft will spin out of control on the Midway approach. Police helicopter 1 (PH1) will make strafing runs blasting the Ride of the Valkyries, a fitting tribute to the departing leader.

Flash cameras are discouraged at this event since the photo flash of the honoree will be reflected back similar to taking a picture in a mirror. The reflective properties from all that shining brass and polished award metals will distract, disorientate and temporarily blind those in attendance should flashbulbs be used. Please, contain your emotions and check yourself or your gonna wreck yourself. It is kindly requested those in attendance be limited to only one photo with the Dep. Chief, please. And lastly, Bubblehead will collect at the door for those commemorative t-shirts and retirement gift. Rumor has it he is next to leave heading up the state’s gaming and ethics commission.

We all can't wait to hear about Super Garry's first introduction to then Commander Leo Schmitz. The Super McCarthy saw the perfect sharp, crisp crease in Commander Leo's woolen slacks,his endless stack of awards on display, and the bright brass buttons on his dress blazer monogrammed with Chicago Police and a Native American image. Garry experienced a thrill down his leg upon hearing Leo speak and the rest is history...

All joking aside, we are experiencing another brain drain in the ranks. We clown and bust each other down, but Dept. Chief Leo was not afraid to get in the mix and right all that was wrong. Leo wasn't one of those commanders who worried about unshined shoes or missing beat tags. For those who actually are on the streets, he was on the ranking officer on the scene formulating some police strategy and making sure his troops were safe and accounted for. To your credit, on more than one occasion, you were one of the first cars to respond to calls for help. So many exempts can't wait to park their fat asses in an executive chair in some administrative capacity doing battle with some non-confrontational paperwork. Leo was a brave warrior who chose to take on daily battles on the streets alongside his officers challenging the criminals in da woods. Good luck in your new career.

Those who wonder why ISP doesn't promote to director from within, do some research. Director is mandated at around $135k a year, the bosses at ISP make way more than that, so they aren't willing to take a pay cut.
It's not like our city, give up sworn status and become a civilian boss and collect two big checks.

Dan Dugan left with a six figure pension.
As a Deputy Chief (or some sort of configuration close to that) with Amtrak, he undoubtedly making another solid six figures.

Dan is laughing all the way to the bank. Don't give him a second thought, because I'm sure he doesn't give this job a second thought at all.

"most commanders are blowhards, drunks, or know-nothings..." We work in a district where we actually like our commander. In fact, in my 28 years most of the commanders I worked for were decent people ... not blowhards, drunks and they in fact did know something. Yes; some were brighter than others and yes; we knew clout got them the job. For the most part though, they left us alone and let us do our job. You sound like a bitter goof who gets your information from the blog here rather than experience it. Go back into your mommy's basement, moron.
