No Openings Again?
They took 100 patrol officers and made detectives.
Took another 31 and made them sergeants.
Certainly more than a few retired since 01 January.
There must be openings somewhere.

add 40 for et's and 13 for swat…….officers in a beat car keep disappearing.
Maybe it's because the department has shrunk so much?
Naw...
I pray for anyone on a beat car.
cameras hanging on their necks
Too many white shirt worried up contact card.
10 hour days in future.
commanders not letting officers have time off.
YET you continue to believe that the cream rises to the top.
Don't go on the medical when you are sick.
Change your start time so the city won't pay you overtime.
Don't go to court even thou you know you will be out in 15 minutes.
Train multiple recruits and not be compensated.
Blow off paper jobs so you will not be in backlog.
You have the city by the balls good luck with the dream of being a merit anything...
No movement...
McNotGoingAnyWhere
is holding Patrol hostage so coppers won't be able
to bid out of the tribal no-go zones before/during the
summer kill-the-shit-out-of-each-other season...
Watch each other's 6...
Carry two.
At least one magazine of +p ball for vehicle borne
assholes.
Yeah yeah... Carbines are ok but every car should also have a compact semi-auto 12 gauge.
Be prepared to tear your car up....
These assholes ARE actively hunting Policemen
and they know Policemen are constrained from
hitting back TOO hard when attacked because
the media and the politicians will predictably
pile on.
You know...
Policeman with a smoking pistol and some dead shit-heads avec guns laid out in a blasted to pieces ghetto
sled like a badly opened can of big, funky-assed King Oscar sardines.
Bunch o' ignant m/fers jaw-jacking about "bad optics" when Policemen ruthlessly tear that ass up in these bad street encounters.
"Why y'all gotta shoot all hard an' shit?"
Police like a square.
Police like you have no friends.
So I'm hating the 10 hour days in 005. The labor management team comes into our roll call in December and tells us sorry so late that we going to do this pilot program. But if it's not for you there will be a super bid after the first quarter. That's come and gone. Still waiting on that superbid you lying fucks.
Where's the dogs?! Hurry up! Let's make all 50 right now!
They ain't post openings so barbwest can save face.
Watch how many try an get out from under her uniform BS. Because that's all she can do.
Staying motivated though XO. Yeah.
How can there be no openings when we know there are openings?? Is this contractually legal? Is FOP even looking into it??
There aren't any openings until Naoplean and McNumbnuts say there are openings. Now carry on!
Remember crime is down to historic levels and we have adequate manpower.
Any openings at the range?
And no cars either. And the ones we have are 150000 miles and higher with check engine lights etc.
Heard they are going to close either 016 or 017. It will become just one district.
He doesn't want everyone to bid out of 005.
Of the 10 hours are so good, have more openings in 005!
OT - So now that Rahm has declared his NFL "Draft Town" a success (Did you expect anything different?!) can anyone explain why, with our multi-billion dollar lakefront convention center and football stadium along with its ample parking and connected hotel, did he choose to shut down a major intersection in the business district for a week and hold the actual draft in the old decrepit Auditorium Theater?! What bumbling idiot told him this would be a perfect spot to hold this event?!
And then we have a certain high ranking command staff member directing entire tac teams to act as security for this gaudy production while children are literally playing with guns just blocks away in the Dearborns. The brain trust in this city is nonexistent!
No big deal, they are making people interview for spots where the people were already told who has the spot. Nothing has changed.
Ya 22 needs body's!!!!!
wait is this true crazy Lt Masters from 11 is now in charge of K9? Only in Chicago! How many EEOC beefs can she get in there?

See is a complete moron, she is laughed at all the time. Has no clue what she is doing the rest of the 2nd watch Sgt's love her because she is just that incompetent. I have watched so many movies it's not even funny, they cry about contact cards now movers, packers and ANOVs guess what you ain't getting a damn thing from me. Sorry LT there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Change my start time, bounce me off my car? Hahahahah that's childs play and doesn't bother me one bit, bring it playa!

A little off topic but I wanna rant on the shit I saw during the NFL detail. How the f*ck does the city get away making brand new recruits/ppo's working from 0700 to 2330 for four days straight? I just got off my status and I could not help but feel bad for these guys! A lot of them were not getting lunches either so me and some of the guys were going to different post and telling to go get something to eat. White shirts were so unorganized, one is telling you one thing while the other is telling you another. They took all this manpower from other districts and had us doing shit. On the last day we sat for over an hour at the end not knowing what the hell they wanted us to do. Any PPO reading this is you are assigned to details don't expect a boss to give you lunch or break you need to do your own thing. Help each other out for Godsakes!! Lessons learned never volunteer for any of these pathetic details.
5/04/2015 01:29:00 AM
Hey "just got off my status", relax Francis... You are one salty little guy and you got a very long and miserable career ahead of you with the way you sound. You do realize what dept you work for right? The CPD is the definition of ass backward political buracracy. Do you think your the first copper to realize the bosses are worthless? Save your anger and "ranting" for your non cop buddies you always try to impress. You just got done with probation so you should know that ppo's are very expensive security guards. That was very heroic of you to come to their rescue and save them from starvation. Good job reciting what you heard guys with time on say about not volunteering for shit. So good luck tough guy, and sorry to anyone who had to train you or has to work with you. But don't worry, your go get 'em screw the bosses attitude will land you on a tac team in no time!
There's a huge opening between GMax ears. So hollow in there you can hear a low tone whine when the wind blows.
The current playbook strategy is working, Crime is Down®, why move anybody around?
There are over 1800 people assigned to 044 right now. That includes the academy which is almost full. The thing is that of those over 1800 recruits 95 percent of them are not in beat card but standing out in corners doing nothing... A waste if u ask me.
Down sizing some more.They are slowly not replacing people,been doing it for years.....

The nfl scouted locations... They chose that location so that grant park could be used for the big tents across the street. And another bitter cpd conspiracy theorist heard from

........... Perfectly legal. The city has the call. Do me a favor, before asking dumb questions just go ahead and read your contract book and you will answer your own question. Thanks
Word is another class of 50 Sgt's again with no merit after this class graduates to bring the rank to full strength. Then once merit nominations are asked for they are going to require at least 1500 or above on the list to be nominated.
Will FTO'S ever be allowed to change districts?

The NFL wanted it there. The NFL also wanted to close down Congress Pkwy in front of the Auditorium Theater. The NFL wanted the visuals provided by the skyline like they had it. I don't know who paid for police to be there nut the NFL asks for, and received, police at all other NFL events and games. So I guess they figure, why not here.

5/05/2015 07:15:00 AM
Doubt it, not with both with new police stations. It would make more sense to close 025 and divide that between 016, 017 and 015; all new stations. That way they can bulldoze the old 025 and get some "campaign contributions" from the developers.
I too work a beat car ( have been for the last 12 years) . Maybe I'm wrong but I sense a hint of "hate" for guys/gals that make it out of patrol. I've never aspired to be a detective/ sgt/et/ swat guy or whatever but if that's where people end up because they truly want it I'm happy for them and so be it . The problem as I see it is the city not hiring enough bodies when clearly they are budgeted for and our " union" not making a big enough deal about it , .. Just my two cents
They are drawing down beat cops in the districts to prep for the 10.5 hour day Citywide. Again, wiping out an entire watch means loss of positions. There's no more afternoon beat car, just days and midnights. Why the FOP is allowing the department to downsize and lose members I have no idea. Less coppers paying into pensions. Once this happens the City won't go back to 3 watches because they would have to hire cops to fill those beats again. This is a permanent downsize.
Came on in 1986 remember many openings,rarely a period went by with no openings, now it looks like wherever you are that's it your stuck! You live north? welcome to south-side! Its going to be a long hot summer, back each other up the thugs and savages are emboldened by what the elected and media has done to policing in America! Pro-active? yep OK! Cameras everywhere? media offering payouts for best video of officers using "force necessary to affect arrest!"
Right is wrong,wrong is right could this be the Bible being fulfilled in our age? read revelation!
Maybe it's because the department has shrunk so much?
5/05/2015 12:22:00 AM
....because crime is down.....except shooting which are up 47%.
Living by statistics can come back and bite you in the ass, eh McBallsack?

Did the NFL reimburse the city for the police officers detailed to the draft?
Like the marathon, why wasn't this made a "special employment" opportunity?

*****************
As long as everyone is short there will be no bidding. If everyone is down 8% from the new and improved authorized strength but a few districts are down let's say 15% you will see some bidding to them. Look for very little bidding if any until a recruit class is coming off probation.
hey ssc i worked the ghetto for 10 then bid to 016 unit about 9 years ago best move i ever made , bid to 016 and protect the homeland
All the PO's in Narcotics now! What a waste of resources.. Wake up McNumbnuts & Tracy!!!!!
If they needed dogs so bad then why are some clout babies excused or on the medical so they can work side jobs with there dogs? Talking about bomb dogs and the handlers
No openings? There must have been an opening in OCD since TS was detailed there from 004.
At the 1630 roll call today we had 8 bodies. We are supposed to have 16. 2 on furlo..2 with cu..2 put on days..and 2 put on desk..beats cars not even being manned in 005 due to 10 hour day
Some special people went to 012
new recruits/ppo's working from 0700 to 2330 for four days straight?
That's too funny. 4 whole days?
Our class did "loop traffic detail" on probation and got treated like garbage for 5 or 6 months of 10-17 hour tours with bosses announcing cancelled rdo's on your friday right before checkoff the entire 5 months and intimidating anybody who called in...
No time and a half, of course.
But we called FOP anyway and asked how the city can get away with violating federal labor law. They said, "you're a p.p.o and you're a salaried employee."
The whole group went and got a labor attorney who said "that's bullshit. You're union is caving in, we''ll take your case."
signed on to class action but the city notified our FOP, who, in turn, called us back in and said, "on second thought, we'll take that case...come on back, but you all have to fire your attorney and sign with ours..."
FOP then proceeded to throw out our case to earn some favor with city hall.
Shields wasn't the only snake. Donohue and Nolan are in cahoots, too, just like Dean is now.

And in a few when they cut down officers in narcotics, they will all be sent where the city wants them.
The thing is that of those over 1800 recruits 95 percent of them are not in beat card but standing out in corners doing nothing... A waste if u ask me.
5/05/2015 10:53:00 AM
Gotta train 'em for VRI.
Hey 10:58 - Wow, so Rahm lets the NFL call the shots when they are in town. Highly unlikely. And there's no room for "big tents" by Soldier Field?? Me thinks you're just another one of Rahm's little ball sacks trying to cover for him.
Good. I need my handsome police officers guarding my pretty loft. Don't move them.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
close 25 let 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 take a 1/4 of it .
close crime lab , make et's and f/i's detectives , way to many house cat patrolman doing zero inside .
All the PO's in Narcotics now! What a waste of resources.. Wake up McNumbnuts & Tracy!!!!!

Your must have gotten dumped from narcotics.Worry about yourself and not what everyone else is doing and you will sleep better at night.

NFL makes billions pays close to no taxes on anything the thug league gets a pass, why are the billionaires not paying who gets paidoff?
I like the idea of shutting 026 down, and giving it to 015, and 017. The G/C station is falling apart. This new 015 would be the busiest districts in the city!!
Here is what's going on there closing all the district s and were going to report to homan square to pickup are car's. Then were sent any were in the city rite from supt mouth. For real.
Put everyone in uniform detectives etc,assign them to watches more coppers shazam, lets then have some openings allowing officers with time, who have did the heavy lifting be allowed to move would help with burn outs and officers mindset and sanity!

Couldn't agree more. I've been trying to bid out 0f 026 for years.
What a shithole.
Hoping for an opening in "025".
Is there any truth to the rumor they will be testing again in the fall? Someone at the testing center said that they have been burning through applicants and might need to provide the written test again for more applicants.
O.T. Here but when are they going to make mounted positions. I am low on the current list.
re-hire retired officers part time to man the desk and other positions, freeing up those inside coppers who are more than capable of hitting the streets.

Yes. More bodies needed at the filtration plant.
City is unlikely to care about stations to be closed, look what they did to 019/023. 023 was a few years ago a brand new building, their lockup was used only temporarily, when it got closed it was cannibalized for parts. Now arrestees have to be processed there initially then sent to Belmont/Western for prints/photos/holding.
025 also contains the court building, judges, and personnel,and there are no facilities for courts,their workers, or prisoner separation from police for court in 15, 16, or 17.
Why would you elect to close down ANY district? Let alone 025? Sure, it's the land of misfit toys, but still a very busy district. The station is falling apart, but compare the 025 station to the Harrison station and we're talking world's apart. Why not close 011 and merge with 015? Silly ideas. Or close 007 and merge with 006? Who starts these dumb fucking rumors? Merging 016 and 017 would account for exponential square mileage to police.

Bubblehead must owe them some money. keed track of their working days. If they are always off, with no slips, that's bubbleheads way of paying getting down The debt.
City will merge 24 and 20. Likely merge 14 with someone either 12 or 17. That would leave the city with an even 20 districts. Re number 25 as 13, 22 as 14. Then go to 10 radio zones. Put 2 on the same zone as 3. 9 and 12 on same zone again. 19 and 20 on the same zone.
