Nice Job Officers
- Two Chicago Police officers on bike patrol are being credited with saving an elderly tourist’s life along the Magnificent Mile on Tuesday afternoon.
About 2:20 p.m., the two officers were on patrol when they were flagged down near Michigan and Walton, according to a statement from Chicago Police. Citizens led them to a man “drained of color” lying on the ground and not breathing.
The officers began performing chest compressions and saw the 75-year-old man’s airway was blocked, but they were able to clear it, police said.
Word is that Rahm thanked these two personally for saving a tourist who will now continue to spend money here.
Seriously though, good job.

Rahm might've thanked them..... but he's still intent on fucking them out of their pensions.
Chicago's Finest! Great job! Hope the gentleman recovers.
I heard they were sparred for not getting him info on a contact card...
The Federal Reserve is on the verge of raising interest rates. Inflation shall return. All the retirees born after 1955 who do not have the 3% COLA will lose even more buying power.
Which candidate do you think will support restoring the COLA ?

couple issues first. contact cards are not "stop and frisks". Chicago police does not have a "stop and frisk" policy. GMAC wants everything to be like new york and says that all contact cards are stop and frisks but they are not. I fill out about ten contact cards per day. Do you know how many of them I actually stop and frisk? Maybe one, at most 2 a day. Some days the number of people being frisked is zero. 90 percent or greater of my contact cards are done from just talking to citizens, mostly while on OEMC dispatches. If I dont write paper then I document it on a contact card... PER OUR GENERAL ORDER!!! Our general order tells us to write these cards. they are not all stop and frisks. Lets go FOP how about you get in the game and explain this. 250,000 people did not get searched last year thats a fact. Second, what doesnt help this number are the tac teams, mission teams or rapids who get assigned missions to get activity who are just lazy and make up 10 contact cards a day by making up names, addresses etc. Or just running plates and writing the info on those plates on contact cards and saying they had contact with them. Also, VRI either making up activity or doing the same thing by writing bogus contact cards. And last but not least Gmac at compstat. I have been to a few Compstat meetings and Gmac has a phrase that he uses over and over and over again.. "I wanna see hands on the wall". "contact cards and hands on the wall are they key to stopping the shootings". Commanders are hounded, yelled at and bashed if contact cards are down. Think this. Every week compstat wants contact cards to be up from the same 28 day period from last year. So what this means is that for every year compstat is around they want the numbers to go up up and up more from the same time as the period a year before. so if they were up from 3 years ago and up every year after that then when will it stop? It cant keep going up every week, month and year. you cant just keep going up and up with your contact cards and stops. If you had a busy month last year and a district did 2000 contact cards the supt wants that number surpassed... just to say the number of contact cards is up... but at what costs? How many times can you keep stoping people and do contact cards? at some point the numbers are going to have to come back down and reset. Its pressure from the top, no doubt about it. Im guessing that of those 250,000 contact cards 75,000-125,000 cars are false, made up or those people were never even stopped in reality... which doesnt make it right either... then im guessing another 25,000 people in that number were actually stopped but not frisked at all but were contacted as a result of casual work interaction or from a 911 call. people on this job know how many of those cards are completly made up.. and its a ton of them. just writing up anything so the bosses shut up and leave us alone with no pressure. the top has created this problem.

YOU ARE A COMPLETE FUCKING MORON AND NEED TO TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE AND READ THE GENERAL ORDER REGARDING CONTACT CARDS. THERE ARE ONLY 3 REASONS FOR BEING ABLE TO WRITE THAT CONTACT CARD AND I'LL LET YOU FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF BY FORCING YOU TO READ THE GENERAL ORDER YOU ARE TELLING EVERYONE ELSE TO READ. HINT, VICTIMS OF CRIMES ARE NOT TO BE CONTACTED. IF YOU GET 90% OF YOUR CONTACT CARDS FROM OEMC JOBS YOU ARE SCAMMING THE SYSTEM YOURSELF JUST LIKE THE ONES YOU ARE BLAMING.
The live tourist will spend more money at the local hospital than he would have ever spent on Michigan Ave..
Good job officers. A job well done. Kudos to you two.
thankgoodness the popo was around
I love it when officers take good care of my pretty Boul Mich.
Good job.
Many keeses for you.
Well done officers
Stay safe all

Geez, the ACLU just announced that Gary's constant push for more and more contact cards is doing nothing but causing trouble. When you push to keep raising the bar on anything all that happens is fudging numbers and putting innocent people into a criminal database for no reason. Hey Gary, will you have the balls to stand up and say that YOU pushed to get these stupid contact card numbers or will you hang the poor coppers out to dry? My bet is you will lie through your teeth that it wasn't your doing. Maybe this will finally get your pandering ass launched out of here.

And when the FEDS take over CPD and start crucifying officers for doing those damned cards to "show activity," watch for the bosses who have been beating coppers across their backs for this "activity" to be given a pass...

Great job. Gotta love the bike unit. They worked their asses off during NATO.
Nice job
Great job guys! Did you do a contact card?

So... Boss...
>Snicker!<
The only reasonably smart one in this contact card shit-show is you... Right?
So quick with unfounded individual condemnation because the system is so pristine and untainted with purpose driven bullshit?
Didn't you get the memo?
This relentless pursuit of "activity" is the main driver
behind the ACLU and increasingly FED/DOJ scrutiny.
...And FED/DOJ scrutiny leads to witch hunts and underwear drawers being pawed through.
No matter how tightly you adhere to general orders.
No matter how "right" you are, somebodys somewhere
are saying they have a problem with Police/Public interactions and how they're being conducted.
The key is peeling new yuck corporate style bean-counter-ism away from Chicago Policing.
Hopefully a new mayoral administration will result in the traitorous, carpet-bagging gold star idiots fostering this chaos being hunted down, chained together and chased with hot fire into the woods naked as their reward
Don't you get it?
The ones in charge never take the lick for bad policy.
Only Policemen ever get hurt and we hate that with a passion.
You younger officers really NEED to pay attention to the older guys when they try to counsel you on how to make yourselves hard to hit targets.
Police like you have no friends...
The real question revolves around whether the cops would have helped someone of color, not someone who was "drained of color."

"90 percent or greater of my contact cards are done from just talking to citizens, mostly while on OEMC dispatches. If I dont write paper then I document it on a contact card... PER OUR GENERAL ORDER!!! Our general order tells us to write these cards. "
You 100 PERCENT wrong on how you do contact cards. Read the Special Order (not a General Order). Your supervisors are wrong if they are approving your wrong and illegal contact cards.
Congrats to these officers. CPD officers do great work everyday without getting the recognition they deserve. Ours is a noble profession.

Good, it's about time they raised interest rates. The economy has improved and everyone has made lots of $$$ in the market. People will still invest in the market but now more will make money on interest accounts too. As far as inflation, well that goes up regardless and I don't see it taking a significant jump right away. The Fed Reserve chairs have been bozos under Obama. Then again just about everyone that works for him has been.
6:38am Jesus Garcia will try and pass the 3% cola for us born between jan 1, 1955 and before Jan 1, 1960 . Rumor age will be raised to 60 to collect it , but it's still a good deal .
Nice job Officers. Above and Beyond...THANK YOU!
So so happy I am retired. Never liked making out those contact cards. Stopping folks and asking for that info just causes more tension and resentment towards our big brother police reputation. Only cards I make out now are birthday and Christmas cards from the far SW suburbs. Thank you Jesus!
just a citizen saying thanks to ALL for all you do.
stay safe
such rahm hatred.. i just voted for him.

Give it a rest already. It doesn't matter who wins the election. Our pension system like most of our country is broke. Our pension is underfunded. The city, state and the nation is in debt. The debt is so high that is not even mathematically possible to pay it off. The Federal Reserve only has one option- to raise inflation. But even that has limits and our economy is going to be devastated.
Compstat and contact cards are abusive to the police and abusive to the public. Treating the P.D. like a widget factory where the boss runs the assembly line faster and faster. This is called "applying metrics" to police work. Or "introducing competition", another favorite phrase of the bean counters. Lets hope for a change, a new strategy led by a new chief. Police and the public are not metrics.
Chicago's Finest Always does it's job , but our current mayor is trying to take away benefits , has reduced Police Force by 1500 /
One Man Beat Cars and 3 Man S&S Crews , Garbage trucks , Forestry and Light Bulb changers .

Jeez.
How hard are you management members trying not
to see the handwriting on the wall about all the threats and browbeating about contact cards?
Every potentially useful thing, you yahoos have to ruin it by beating on Patrol to get more of it.
In the narrative portion list your supervisor on the card telling you to come in with cards.
See how fast that will stop. Try it, it work for me.
Great job Offices. Channel 7 just stated we get yearly CPR training? Since when?

Because of the hospitalization, he overstayed his visa. He then became an illegal and now gets free food, citzenship, welfare, free health care, a phone and a voters card.
Nice Job Officers.Wear that Green Ribbon Proudly on your Uniform.Always nice to "get a save".
OT but worthy : 2 Coppers killed in the line of duty last night.State Trooper in FonDuLac,WI.(bank robbery),and one PO in Cal.(man wanting to commit suicide). Both asshole also gone.
RIP Officers.
Chicago's Finest. Great job officers. Most excellent that you saved this gentleman's life and are getting recognition for taking decisive action.
Does "drained of color" mean the tourist was an albino?
It's a lot easier to help people if they're not being attacked.
Here we go! A state senator.

It's great to get on the internet and just blow things out your ass, isn't it?
Nobody is asking anybody to do something stupid. I work in a shithole district and ask for one legit card per night. This is not trick bagging anybody. If you can't find one card on the southside you shouldn't be a cop.
It's about time the police start getting some positive press and news coverage showing the good things the police do out here each and every day. When the body cameras come out the press and news media need to show some of the idiots the police put up with each and every day also. The public needs to be shown what officers put up with each day.
(OT) just watched the candidate forum live on can tv channel 27! Chuy vs. rahm wow rahm come off as arrogant! Charles Thomas 1 of the questioners told rahm " your a millionaire, while people are trying to go to the dells your flying all over the world on vacations" rahm had fury, then thomas asked him about the "mayor 1%" wow! Chuy was before rahm what an intelligent level headed guy, you can tell which guy was talking to blue collar people, and which guy chuy said he would have a through audit of all city finances, bet when he finds how our money has been stolen some of Daley rahm crew will be in deep trouble!
Great work guys! I think one of them just received an officer of the year award.
OT: Did anyone else see the pandering prick on the 5th floor suggest renaming O' Hare or Midway Obama airport.
That in itself is reason enough to vote for Chuy.
Hey 7:05 am MR ALL CAPS
Not all dispatched calls resulting in contact cards means you talked to a victim. Idiot.
Also learn how to work a fucking keyboard.
Both Officers from 007. Great job.
The only safe thing to write is a Parker...
Way to go, Officers. "Greater love hath no man than this..." Thank you both!
I've been drained of color a few times myself.
It was delightful.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!

No sane candidate will announce he is for INCREASING our pensions. They are trying to get the public's votes, not chase them away.
The media has done such a fine job of demonizing us and our pensions, you might as well accept no politician is going to introduce the bill to extend the cola for a VERY long time.

like all our other training, it is a streaming video
valdez, he's the stroke that told us during bike training, that it would help us pass if we bought his $10. bike pin.

Only if they rename the new park downtown Carmela Soprano Park
Give paramedics guns!
Four officers at Midway saved a mans life today. He was unresponsive and not breathing when they responded to the call CPR brought him back. Great job to the bike guys and the Midway coppers.
"Give paramedics guns!"

Some already use vests...and give 'em back their bunker gear and air paks so they don't have to stage two blocks away in some bad situations.
Great Job officers! God worked through you that day. Your deserve the accolades.
