Taking the Day Off
SCC is tired, it's hot out, it's Sunday and we have a day we have to burn.
Open post for Sunday - we'll moderate comments sparingly, but you guys should take a day off, too.

During the last few months it seems all the new orders the Department are issuing or revising are aimed at this CALEA® certification the Department wants to obtain. After looking into the CALEA® company (yes it is a private company not a government agency, just Google it) how does this help the members of the Chicago Police Department? After examining the website for CALEA® I found job openings in Chicago for a CALEA® Special Agent (“Responsible for employee and public safety; protection of facilities, real estate and assets; and the protection of our customer's lading through police activities, security services, and crime prevention and safety initiatives, starting salary is $71,000.”) (Key word is customers) So what advantage does a CALEA® certification have for a Police department? This is not a government agency, CALEA® also certifies school campus security guards.
Wait a minute. How long ago did you put in for a day off? DENIED!
Couldn't get time due to take the day off!!!! Stay safe out there!!!
A well earned day off, SCC
Enjoy!
Wishing all of you a safe & enjoyable rest of the summer!

The 012 squad pilot program is a complete disaster. Not enough manpower to run something like this. Why even bother with the thing? For the upcoming 10 hour days?
Well, why not? I've been reading (and enjoying...and agreeing with) this blog for the last seven years...I guess it's time to post my first response to it. Since this seems to be (more or less) an open post...
I spent the weekend commemorating (NOT celebrating) the 100th anniversary of the worst disaster (in terms of lives lost) ever to befall Chicago. Friday morning, there was a small gathering of people (I was one of them) counting down to the exact moment (7:30 am) that the S. S. Eastland capsized to port and took 844 souls with her as she fell. There were several other ceremonies that day. One at 10:00 am, which involved several descendants of the survivors of the disaster recalling the stories their grandparents related to them...another at 1:00 pm, which emphasized the role the coast guard, fire department, and police department played during the rescue operations...and the recovery of those who were beyond rescue. There were a coast guard, CFD, and CPD boat present at both ceremonies. During the first, they were saluted for the role their predecessors played in the disaster. During the second, each of them laid a bouquet of flowers into the exact site on the river where the disaster took place. I thought both ceremonies were very tasteful and respectful...a far cry from the disgusting spectacle of a barge on the river being set afire (ineptly) to "celebrate" the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire.
Tonight (Saturday), 844 candles were lit at the site of the disaster...one candle for each of its victims. Anyone who truly loves this city (even if, as I do, they hate most of the people in charge of it) would have been hard put to not shed a tear or two during these ceremonies. They recalled the determination that the survivors demonstrated to continue on because they loved this city--and this country. They recalled the effort they expended to make Chicago the world-class city that it...was...in spite of their losses. People who had come over from the old world (predominantly from Czechoslovakia and Bohemia) who had happily become citizens of their new country, and who were willing to work to make their dreams come true here...and who continued to do so even after what happened. It was smaller--but no less poignant--than the 10th anniversary ceremonies of the 9/11 attacks in New York a few years ago.
Aldercreature Ed Burke spoke at both ceremonies on Friday. Amazingly, even he demonstrated a respect for the occasion. I actually counted it as a positive in my assessment of the man. Nowhere near enough to balance the overwhelming negatives he's accumulated in my eyes over the years, but a positive nevertheless. The flames that will burn him eternally in hell for the harm he's done this city will be one or two degrees cooler because of what he did on Friday...:)
That's about it. Sorry for being so long-winded, but I just thought this was something that was appropriate to be mentioned here. SCC seems to share the same mindset I do...he loves the city, but hates its "leaders." Just a reminder that it's still possible for Chicagoans to recover from a horrible disaster like the Eastland...or the current city council...and stand tall as one of the capitals of the world...if its citizens are willing to expend the effort. (Perhaps a pipe dream, but some of us haven't ENTIRELY given up hope yet...)

RETIRED !! Everyday is a day off. Hope you all get there soon.
OMG! I need my SCC fix!!!! Noooooooooooooo!
Enjoy your day off. You so deserve it!!!!
Have some brews (disguised as lemonade of course) and catch some rays.
There are so many people who appreciate what you do. Although I'm sure 'Hi Garry' isn't one of them.
Have a great day!
No time off for me, but enjoy yours.
Well deserved R&R for SCC.
The rest of us need to stay vigilant. Obama hates 24-7, Emanuel hates 24-7, Farrakhan hates 24-7, and so on and so on.....
Thanks to all you officers for what you do.
Mff? Anyone have any info...bosses? Location? Anything?
Will they ever at least staff 016 to 3/4 strength? Why must districts which pay a large share of taxes get substandard service?
the goof driving on the Edens with the "police" license plate.....R32 in an electric blue sissy car should be ashamed of himself.....its a wonder why people hate the police.....weaving in and out at a high rate of speed on a Saturday afternoon....oh I get..... you are so much more important than the rest of us.....
Is it any shock that our Commie Senator "Turban" Durbin is for the Iranian Nuclear Bomb deal and doesn't think dangerous felon immigrants should be locked up.
Denied, file a grievance.
Thanks officers, for all that you do.
How about that piece of shit state reps and senators passing a raise for themselves after submitting another bill to the courts to cut the retirees pension. What balls!
The piece of shit news media really took care of the two jag off politicians by keeping the raises quiet so the public will be unaware as usual.
Any public employee voting for a democrate got to have a hole in their head.
06:00- 14:00 then i'll stop for my bucket of pabstschmeer.
fine job,
see you tomorrow.
Enjoy
Be careful when getting your homes soundproofed from the airplane noise on the Far Northwest Side of town (60656 zip code). It seems quite a few homes have been burglarized after getting their homes done. One company under suspicion has a Mullane family member working for them, you see where I'm going with this.
We can fill volumes with what the police do correctly, and the public never hears about it.
Friday night in 015 my nephew and his partner made a traffic stop. The passenger punches one officer and my nephew leaves the driver to assist his partner. During the fight passenger bites my nephew while battering both officers. They recover a gun from bad guy too. There are a dozen "citizens"' all with their cellphones. Everybody filming the event.
Just an arrest, bad guy got what was coming, post that video citizens!
Here is a convicted felon rolling through the hood with a gun. Police doing their job. Video serves no purpose here I guess.

Go over to Whiting for the Pierogi Fest!
There are a few ways to fund the pensions and the Mayor thought he had a bargain with most of the unions. The court ruling only speeds up the complete phase out of healthcare. We will know in the next month or 2 what the 2016 contribution rates are for retirees and I will guarantee that almost the full cost will be passed on to the member. City will contribute the least amount to keep the pension funds post Korshack $65 and $95 around for one more year. Be prepared for another 30% increase in your healthcare cost. He is going to get retiree reform one way or another.
SCC, I was going to take a break today too, but I found this in the Chi Trib
>>>> Chief Keef's hologram concert shut down by police in Hammond
'Rapper Chief Keef appeared — via hologram — at a Hammond music festival Saturday night, but his performance was shut down by police within minutes. <<<<
Ha-ha! Take that kiddo.
Note; Article might be behind the Tribune Paywall?
Well-deserved!!!!
Stay safe my brothers & sisters and PLEASE, look out for each other!!
Rauner is right about one thing, tort reform now .
HEY!!!!! I'm sitting here drinking my coffee AND I expect to entertained by the SCC Blog, WTF, you take a day off? NO RDO's for you!! I come here EVERYDAY and am sooooo glad that I'm retired and got the fuck outta Illinois!!
Why did durbin go to funeral?
Guys and gals, nothing, and I mean, nothing beats taking a day off before and after your two RDO's. That is a nice four day weekend. I do that three times a year.
1. people don't want to be man handled by police
try obeying what police officers request of you
2. don't want to get shot by the police
do not commit felonies , attempt to disarm a police officer
parents teach your children to respect elders , teachers and police officers
set an example , raise your children , support them without government assistance
3.politicians , you criticize police for making traffic stops
quit passing these silly traffic laws like turn signals , mandatory insurance , city vehicle license , speeding . let's all drive ------ people
The "spirits deserve a much needed break" looking at today's Sunday times paper looks like the girl who committed suicide in Texas says " my daughter did not kill herself" now durbin says the "nation must know what happened" launching a very expensive taxpayer funded investigation! Meaning the copper and jail personnel will be dragged all over the news, the court etc.. Wow no matter what happens with the black community the police are responsible. From the child killed by murderous thugs in the stroller from the lies of ferguson, lies of the honorable John Burge, lies of New York, lies everywhere but police are at fault! All you younger coppers please take notice it's much better to hand the people that don't want the police a rd number than to be thrown overboard and the political bosses throw an anchor to you, back each other up is the most important what matters? "Blue lives matter" don't be the next sheep lined up for slaughter it's not worth losing your family, pension, home, freedom to catch some thug use the old dispatch saying "get your crayons ready" here's your report have a nice day!!
Until we get someone in the White House that is pro follow the law like Donald Trump be extremely careful in everything you do! Lastly may God Bless police officers everywhere who da fantastic job holding back the animals from total anarchy!
Rumor going around that new Commander in 009th Dist, Cmdr Godsel has already angered the 3rd watch. Godsel has disbanded the 906 team, taken away all overtime at 3rd watch and got rid of all rapids (1700 hr start) We hear this has caused serious baby sitting issues for the boys in blue at 1700 start. This is the same crew that for the past 2 years has been told they been been keeping 3rd watch above water with, ANOV's , CONTACT CARDS, MOVERS, PARKERS, CURFEWS and everything else the watch commander needed. Hey boys don't be so surprised that you worked harder and can't have a simple request honored, that's the CPD WAY..work hard and we'll screw you later. I see numbers going way down, oh well what are they gonna do, stand up roll calls, monitor your jobs and lunches, longer check off.. BIG DEAL. You can't get a day off and been pushed around ;ong enough.....time to PUSH BACK. Oh yeah, threaten you with midnights HAHAHA you think they are gonna move the already dogs on midnights to the very busy 3rd watch, I SAY NO WAY! FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
Oh boy, another failed Chicago "event"! It was heard that the Margarita Festival held at Northerly Island Saturday nite was a total disaster. According to many pissed off patrons the organizers sold to many drink tickets, ran out of the namesake booze and then pushed everyone out of the event an hour before the scheduled ending time. The event organizers said they would refund drink ticket monies but were unprepared to do that and the line to get a refund was over an hour long and all the while they were telling people they had to leave. Many also said that the promoters advertised complimentary water for non-drinkers and designated drivers but then charged for it once inside the venue. But of course the city got their big bucks for limited parking at Soldier Field blocks away from the action! Can this shithole of a city get anything right?!
On 24-Jul,last Friday, one of the most respected officers in the 010 Dist retired. Officer Dannye Ward worked till his last possible day and retired at age 63. Many of you officers might remember Dannye as the one officer who would not kiss Alderman Dixons' ass every time she wanted something, and as a result, it cost Dannye a spot in Neighborhood Relations, as he was dumped before he even served one day, (way to go Commander) So,... Dannye went back to Beat 1014 where he never slowed down. Dannye Ward was the best street copper I've have ever seen, and I've worked with the best. He could smell a hot car a block away and busted drug dealers by actually getting in line as a customer and confronting the sellers face to face. The last few years Dannye mostly worked as the fill-in desk Sgt, where as you might expect, he was the best damn desk Sgt in the 010 District. I am proud to have worked for 25yrs with Dannye and I hope some of you officers who read S.C.C. and knew Dannye would wish him well...Thanks guys, stay safe......Wolfman..30yrs 010 Dist.
Did you know shit runs down hill in 014 Had to laugh when I heard that one
011 is burning to the ground Add 2 more to the count DOA on scene last night left in car eventually was flatbed towed away with both deceased in it as the whole neighborhood was up for grabs trying to provoke POs and get bodies from car. Be very careful in 011 especially VRI stay off your iPhones and tablets. Know what is going on around you!!!!

The third watch incidents cars were done away with because the 965 Incident team didn't think that they should have to start at 2000 hrs for the rest of the summer to cover all the early morning shootings. They are to busy being a robbery/burglary team that doesn't catch robbers or burglars.
To Tom R. - Thank you for the account of the Eastland Disaster Memorial. I wanted to attend, etc. and you provided me some info. Appreciated your comments regarding our resident historian/and Aldercreature ed burke. Am also of the opinion that he has a role in the continued underfunding of our pension since he has been the Finance Committee chair for decades. In his case ACTIONS DO SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
And SCC - thanks again for all you do!
To those thinking about signing up for the MFF, the senior sgt will be the legendary 1020/1070. He will run all missions and all officers will report to him only as he will be in command.

If you cannot survive on this job working under Godsel, then you are the problem. That means that you do not stand a chance under the more aggressive supervisors. The game has changed, but it still does not take much to make the job bearable, do some work.
Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee's for closers only. You think I'm fucking with you? I am not fucking with you. I'm here from downtown. I'm here from Mitch and Murray. And I'm here on a mission of mercy. You call yourself a salesman you son of a bitch?
1:04 pm....Hey hard charger why don't you come to 1st watch and show us how it's done then since you sound like such a proactive supercop. Jus so u kno there are plenty of good working people on our shift including myself. You'd probably hit the hole as soon as u hit dunkin donuts up for coffee. Worry about where you work and your own activity u goof.
Proactive (not superman) 009 midnight guy
Had to take the day off as well..got stung by a fucking bee yesterday and woke up to a swollen ankle to rival that communist wore Hilary's cankles..anyone got any advise on killing bees other than a flamethrower..fuck you bees and fuck you Hilary
How are the bosses in 18?
Hmmm, I guess I won't be getting worked up today over something I read in SCC . Guess I will have a drink and relax. Oh yeah, before I forget, you suck Rahm.
Enjoy your day off SCC.
Think abut getting some help with what has become a very necessary part of police culture in this town and a way of getting the truth and fighting back. Certainly our "union" is no real help there.
On my day off I saw the new movie MR. HOLMES. Most cops are mystery and Sherlock Holmes fans and will enjoy this movie. If anyone see this, try to find the homage to Alfred Hitchcock. Hint, it comes from the movie THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH.
Old complaint:
The comment permalinks are missing the "c" before the number which makes them work. Adding a "c" to the right spot in the blog template will fix that right up.
Godsel a good boss and a good person, I call bullshit on that one..
Mff? Anyone have any info...bosses? Location? Anything?

It's not full time, no fringe benefits. Only the dumbest of fucks will sign up for it, just like last time. Didn't know one guy that signed up for it that wasn't a softball.

The video in the hood only gets released when it shows the Police doing something questionable. If it supports the Police it disappears. I firmly believe that there is cell phone video in Ferguson of Brown attacking the Police Officer that would support the Officers use of deadly force. You cant do $hit in the hood without someone pulling out their Obama phone and recording it. Since it did not support the criminal Brown no one came forward.

Unless you have run a successful blog, I don't think you can appreciate what a HUGE daily grind it is. Especially one that requires moderating comments.
My last glass of wine tonight is a toast to you SCC, for the marvelous, thankless job you do. Then when you get home you do double duty on the blog so people can get vetted, factual info on what is going on in Shitcago.
Thanks,
Formerly Chicago - next NC and now in TX.
OMG! Godsel has angered the 3rd watch! The reality is that Commanders are no longer able to control the amount of time due given (thanks to cry babies like you and your union for listening to you) and 06 cars are on the chopping block all over the city .....especially area central per deputy chief. I'm sick of listening to the whining pansy coppers. Here is the deal, Godsel is a great guy. He cares about the coppers that work for him, he is highly approachable, and will be 100% straight up w you. If you are the hard charger you elude to, nothing will change the drive you have to do your job. Being a dog does nothing but diminish your own integrity. You are either the police or you are not. Don't shit on one of the few great bosses out there because you have to find a babysitter and work your full tour.

Relax Jay Jay, go back to 955 and let the real workers take care of things
To the whiner in 009:
Cry me a river... your useless 906 overtime team is gone. And guess what. . . coppers all over the city have baby sitting issues. If 3rd Watch don't work for you, go to midnights! How about you go to a real district like 007, 011 or 015 and see what those coppers have to deal with every day. You're lucky to have a guy like him as your commander. He made a command decision disbanding that useless team. Embrace the change, punk!
- Former A-Team Guy
I see nothing's changed!
To the whiner from 009. Tell Cmdr Godsel to his face. He's a great guy, straight shooter and won't fuck with workers. If he disbanded that 906 team, it was for the good of everybody in the district, and I mean the troops. Babysitting issues. Grow the fuck up. The rest of the world is supposed to revolve around your schedule? Hire a sitter you cheap prick. Just like everyone else with kids has to do you self absorbed jagoff.
ODPO got dragged by a car and shot in the leg today while working a side job. Treated and released..thank god. Offend were in custody.
Be careful my friends..
Ummmm... Why promote the universal equal symbol on your home page? Just under the top twenty CJ blog banner.
Thank you Tom R. for your terrific post. Much appreciated.
Had to take the day off as well..got stung by a fucking bee yesterday and woke up to a swollen ankle to rival that communist wore Hilary's cankles..anyone got any advise on killing bees other than a flamethrower..fuck you bees and fuck you Hilary
The good thing for you is that your ankle will return to its normal size in a few days. Hillary's ankles don't have that option.
Many districts got rid of Rapids, don't need them when midnights start at 9. Work mids need a late start
the goof driving on the Edens with the "police" license plate.......
Yeah that's why police are hated ,we drive fast, shut up

Godsel has disbanded the 906 team, taken away all overtime at 3rd watch and got rid of all rapids (1700 hr start) We hear this has caused serious baby sitting issues for the boys in blue at 1700 start. This is the same crew that for the past 2 years has been told they been been keeping 3rd watch above water with, ANOV's , CONTACT CARDS, MOVERS, PARKERS, CURFEWS and everything else the watch commander needed. Hey boys don't be so surprised that you worked harder and can't have a simple request honored, that's the CPD WAY..work hard and we'll screw you later. I see numbers going way down, oh well what are they gonna do, stand up roll calls, monitor your jobs and lunches, longer check off.. BIG DEAL. You can't get a day off and been pushed around ;ong enough.....time to PUSH BACK. Oh yeah, threaten you with midnights HAHAHA you think they are gonna move the already dogs on midnights to the very busy 3rd watch, I SAY NO WAY! FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

A perfect example of what is wrong with this department. It's called doing your job. Have pride in your job. Despite all of the shit you talk, numbers won't go down. They will stay the same or just go up. There are a lot of coppers who still have honor and take pride in their profession. Have a nice day.
MFF is a joke. They will get you to volunteer and then abuse you. You'll be pulling details like standing around all night watching 20 people protest or get mobilized to stand guard at crime scenes where the fools can't grieve respectfully like the rest of society. You'll buy all of your own turtle gear and rarely, if ever get to wear or utilize it, but it will look really tactical stuffed into the duffle bag you'll have to carry with you every night. In essence, you'll be used, I mean lied to and abused rather than the City hiring enough officers to free up a few dozen from Patrol to put a citywide unit together.

We can fill volumes with what the police do correctly, and the public never hears about it.
Friday night in 015 my nephew and his partner made a traffic stop. The passenger punches one officer and my nephew leaves the driver to assist his partner. During the fight passenger bites my nephew while battering both officers. They recover a gun from bad guy too. There are a dozen "citizens"' all with their cellphones. Everybody filming the event.
Just an arrest, bad guy got what was coming, post that video citizens!
Here is a convicted felon rolling through the hood with a gun. Police doing their job. Video serves no purpose here I guess.

I know your nephew. He did a damn fine job and still managed to look good in a suit the next night!
Officer Dannye Ward - All the best brother, you served the city and the ranks as a true legend of the CPD. God be with you and it will take time to get used to being a retired copper, the 2nd year is worse.,,, it gets better, you will make the change work for you. Enjoy life ! Proud of you old brother. As all us old goats, we have a million storers from all we seen and done, LOL.
Enjoy ur retirement Dannye Ward. U were one of the best I ever worked with. And hi to Wolfman too,
How are the bosses in 18?

Fool Bird Colonel (ret.) is one of our best. Back from the medical and rejuvenated, he's like the Six Million Centavo man.
There are not supposed to be any 06 teams anywhere in the city per a memo issued from the Chief of Patrol's office in late June. Each district gets three tact teams and districts needing more must get approval from the Chief of Patrol. However, they are to be designated as 64, 65 teams, and so on, not 06 teams. He is following policy.
If he wanted to keep your team, he could justify it easily in 009 with the activity crime-wise there. Maybe your activity was the problem?

On 24-Jul,last Friday, one of the most respected officers in the 010 Dist retired. Officer Dannye Ward worked till his last possible day and retired at age 63. Many of you officers might remember Dannye as the one officer who would not kiss Alderman Dixons' ass every time she wanted something, and as a result, it cost Dannye a spot in Neighborhood Relations, as he was dumped before he even served one day, (way to go Commander) So,... Dannye went back to Beat 1014 where he never slowed down. Dannye Ward was the best street copper I've have ever seen, and I've worked with the best. He could smell a hot car a block away and busted drug dealers by actually getting in line as a customer and confronting the sellers face to face. The last few years Dannye mostly worked as the fill-in desk Sgt, where as you might expect, he was the best damn desk Sgt in the 010 District. I am proud to have worked for 25yrs with Dannye and I hope some of you officers who read S.C.C. and knew Dannye would wish him well...Thanks guys, stay safe......Wolfman..30yrs 010 Dist.

Ummmm... Why promote the universal equal symbol on your home page? Just under the top twenty CJ blog banner.
hover over the bars there detective - those are five year service bars, but seeing as you're new to the blog and missed our 10-year anniversary at the end of May, we'll accept your abject apology and a small donation to the beer fund.
The other day in 005 an inspector stopped a PO and asked him if he had an in car camera microphone on his person. The officer said no. The inspector then went into the squad car and looked for the mics, which were disabled in the glove box. The officer was written up. The following day, in 005, the in car camera techs came in and did an audit of all in car cameras and microphones. I was told that over 90% of the microphones were disabled in some way. I was also told that the inspectors would be enforcing this as soon as audits have been completed.

They don't look like service bars. Why not just scan real service bars on a blue background? Or just take a pic of your dress uniform sleeve? I have some extras I was thinking of trading in for a star and some bars.
Rahm said shooting should not be the police first option. Wtf
