Anyone Notice This?

We noticed something cropping up in the FOP newsletter that arrived last week. We've noticed it quite a bit lately, not just in the newsletter, but in casual conversations and such:
  • President's Report - Tattoo Arbitration Update: "...the grievance challenges the Department's decision to unilaterally issue the Order without bargaining with the Lodge"  [...] All of these are mandatory subjects of bargaining which the Department could not change unilaterally."
But somehow, the Department did change the rules, essentially challenging the FOP to grieve and/or sue them.
  • 1st Vice President Report - Mistake or Intentional? "...the Lodge became aware that the Department published a Directive (Department Approved Semiautomatic Pistols and Ammunition, U04-02-01) without the input from the Union, or the Uniform and Equipment Advisory Committee."
Again, if the Department (and the City) can't do this, then how are they doing it?

We bring this up because of the following:
  • Field Representative Report - 005th District Survey: "We are compiling data from the FOP 005th District survey and the results will be posted on our website. The participation from the 005th District personnel has been outstanding and the hope is that the concerns from the 005th District personnel will be heard and worked on. A pilot program evaluation committee has yet to meet and we will be requesting one immediately after our results are tabulated. The Department has promised dialogue regarding this issue and we will hold them to this."
Really? We have a Contract in effect regarding the other two issues and the Department/City violate it constantly, forcing us to grieve and sue them to follow the language written. Now, the FOP expects them to (A) answer a phone call requesting a meeting and (B) "hopes" that the concerns are "heard and worked on."

Seriously? After the city already took their own survey and have had the numbers for months now with plenty of time to massage the data so thoroughly that it will sit up and do tricks if Rahm wants it to? The FOP couldn't even stop the baseball or winter hat from getting axed.

How about this data - from an e-mailer, we have information that the Homan Square Black Site has been told in no uncertain terms that a major consolidation is about to be undertaken among the units that will result in hundreds of officers being dumped from the building back to districts and 10-hour days are starting the First Period of 2016. There have been meetings among the Commanders/Commanding Officers and lists are being drawn up right now

The FOP is admitting in two cases that they aren't consulted on major policy changes, then hoping that the biggest policy change in recent memory is going to have "input" from the Lodge. The FOP has rolled over so often, we imagine that they're going get rolled on this, too.

Don't forget the body cameras in 014 that the city didn't notify FOP prior to the completion of the initial 90 days in order to continue it.

FOP was soooooo proud of the agreement, and when the city did not follow the agreement, FOP said OK we forgive you.

Anything so Dean Jr. doesn't have to wear one.

If you vote for Angelo you are a tool or fool.

Time to replace FOP.

Seriously. Reading about this stuff is a joke.

NO, I take that back. It's sad because many, who are good cops, think FOP has their back. They don't.

Said it before, the only thing FOP leadership is worried about, is that BIG merit future promotion. AND, maybe the FOP perks as they wait around for it.

"Do this, and we'll take care of you later on."

"Overlook this, and we'll take care of you later on."

SAD.

I think it was last fop newsletter but Dean made it a point for the members to know how hard the guys and gals at the lodge are working for us, working longer hours and going above and beyond for the members and blah blah blah. If its such a hard life then go back to your previous assignment and leave that additional $600 a month behind. Working hard my ass. I called McDonagh regarding a police shooting I was involved in and he said he'd call me back and never did. Can't trust people who can't keep their word.

Many of these issues are not contractual. It's not in the contract that you can have tatoos. He city does things like this because they know they won't lose. Know the rules. The only thing the union can do is grieve it. And it will most likely lose.

I was just going to say that the 10-hr day is coming, like it or not. That info is swirling around 35th street. What the city is doing, in essence is union busting. The FOP needs to look into filing state and federal unfair labor practice suits and state the continued pattern and practice the city has about violating the contract.

While the increase scrutiny of FOP is a good thing I wish it would have started sooner. Maybe then we would have not had the Shields escapade at the hands of the Donahue/Dougherty cabal.

If you think the State FOP is settling with Shields because they want to give away free money think again. I make no accusations. But if what I think did happen you will want to see all of them pay for their sins.

The city walks all over our contract. They do not honor a contract/agreement that they agreed upon. We are dealing with a mayor who is very unethical and immoral. So the solution is simple- we must all stick together and play by their rules. You want to fuck with us? Fine, keep fucking with us and we will fuck with you. I'm not talking about filing grievances! Rahm is having a field day and laughing all the time at us because he knows he can get away with it.
The ten hour day will be department wide. Count on it. It is brilliant for the city. The manpower shortage is addressed and one third of the shifts/personnel is reduced. Thus saving the city a shit ton of money. I just don't get it brothers and sisters. Why do you allow them to hurt you like this? By them hurting you, they are hurting your family. Why would you allow someone to hurt you and your family and you refuse to do take any action? When will enough be enough for you? At the end of the day, the fault lays at our feet. We can point the finger at the mayor, city council, etc. and it will feel good temporarily. But if we refuse to help ourselves then surely we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Anonymous Axe Mandatory Arbitration said...

It's what the City does. Take Don Oneil..Director of Human Resources...it is almost ALMOST funny to depend on him to follow the contract. And when you invoke the services of the FOP to put him
In check you will likely hear "well it depends on Don Oneil's mood"... wtf?!? This is EXACTLY why the mandatory arbitration clause needs to be taken out. Grievance procedures take YEARS! But we agree to this. Without, mind you, getting anything in return. If the arbitration clause was removed, the FOP could still agree to arbitrate some less pressing issues, but would reserve the right to walk into the federal court house, have a judge issue an injunction against the City (Which they would...because it causes more harm to us than the City in most cases-the standard used in considering injunctions), and at the very least allow the tattoo people to wear short sleeves pending outcome of the dispute, or stay the 10 hour day order until the outcome of the dispute, etc etc.... You see, Don Oneil/City make arbitrary decisions because we have no recourse. Even when the issues DO get to the arbitrator it usually goes in front of some City dependent lackey who is required to follow ZERO precedence and whose decision is given all the deference in the world (he isn't even bound by law!!!) So if the FOP Wants to have a mechanism to fight City Hall and the Don Oneills next contract DO NOT agree to the mandatory arbitration...make it subject to bargaining, and you better get something HUGE in exchange for it, because it is precisely why these arbitrary decisions carry the weight they do. I suggested this once and got some garbage about the City pays for arbitration so the FOP likes it...BULLSHIT! There are so many cop lawyers who could File the injunctions with the Court it would cost very little. We see how scared the City is of legislation (settling even the most ridiculous lawsuits) this would prevent them from such arbitrary decisions in the future, as well as force them into reasonable settlements long before arbitration because it would cost THEM money to fight. I'm telling you, get rid of mandatory arbitration, get rid of Don Oneil like arbitrary decisions!

This tattoo long sleeve shirt and tie policy is a joke. When you have a valid medical reason that does not allow you to wear long sleeves in hot weather and that the excessive heat will aggravate your problem and have a note from a doctor you are told that you MUST go to callback. When you question the department or FOP neither has a written policy to give you , you are told that’s just how it is!! So policies and procedures written or not does not mean a thing, the department and Gary will do what ever they/he wants.

So...
There is a sore and crying need for a mutiny at FOP.
Right?

Has there been ongoing consultation with the national lodge
for bringing charges against sitting local chapter officers
for failure to act/breach of duty/incompetence/cowardice/treason?

Is there a ramping up of administrative and legal processes
for their permanent removal with prejudice?

Will criminal charges be sought against them?

Will it come out that Rahm and McCarthy actively sought
to tamper/interfere/influence?

Are there not Federal Labor Racketeering laws that Rahm and McCarthy
stand in violation of?

Are the tax-payers on the law abiding islands in Chicago even
remotely cognizant of what is actually playing out here in regard
to Police/Public Safety?

Or have they been lulled to sleep by the rhythmic waves of:
"Bad Cops, Greedy Cops, Lazy Cops, Getting Complaints
and Not Being Punished/Fired/Imprisoned for Getting Those
Complaints Cops," being generated by the media with the
knowing intent to separate The Police from public goodwill?

What change is so good, so important and just cannot wait
that so much political and media capital is being conveyor-
belted into the red hot ovens of artfully crafted spin that a mere
@ 800,000 men and women who stood apart from a nation of
300+ Million souls to swear an oath to serve, protect and defend
to the best of their ability, no matter how imperfectly they do it or
how unpopular the decisions they make... Only to be told they're
part of the problem and society wishes they and their concerns
were shoved into those same banks of glowing ovens?

"We're sick of you guys and are better off without you
or your concerns taking up so much of our bandwidth."

Whose agenda is this?
This intentional undoing of one of the final points
of societal adhesion that is personified by The Police?

Who or what is society going to embrace in their
stead when The Police are done for?

Anarchy?
Chaos?
Dude Inc.?

That The Police are out of control/cost too much money and other such is
mere absurdist theater and a high register whistle from Trotskyite Progressive rear-ends
that sets every liberal lefty agendist and catered-to constituent dog to howling.

If you think the State FOP is settling with Shields because they want to give away free money think again. I make no accusations. But if what I think did happen you will want to see all of them pay for their sins.

It's what the City does. Take Don Oneil..Director of Human Resources...it is almost ALMOST funny to depend on him to follow the contract. And when you invoke the services of the FOP to put him
In check you will likely hear "well it depends on Don Oneil's mood"... wtf?!? This is EXACTLY why the mandatory arbitration clause needs to be taken out. Grievance procedures take YEARS! But we agree to this. Without, mind you, getting anything in return. If the arbitration clause was removed, the FOP could still agree to arbitrate some less pressing issues, but would reserve the right to walk into the federal court house, have a judge issue an injunction against the City (Which they would...because it causes more harm to us than the City in most cases-the standard used in considering injunctions), and at the very least allow the tattoo people to wear short sleeves pending outcome of the dispute, or stay the 10 hour day order until the outcome of the dispute, etc etc.... You see, Don Oneil/City make arbitrary decisions because we have no recourse. Even when the issues DO get to the arbitrator it usually goes in front of some City dependent lackey who is required to follow ZERO precedence and whose decision is given all the deference in the world (he isn't even bound by law!!!) So if the FOP Wants to have a mechanism to fight City Hall and the Don Oneills next contract DO NOT agree to the mandatory arbitration...make it subject to bargaining, and you better get something HUGE in exchange for it, because it is precisely why these arbitrary decisions carry the weight they do. I suggested this once and got some garbage about the City pays for arbitration so the FOP likes it...BULLSHIT! There are so many cop lawyers who could File the injunctions with the Court it would cost very little. We see how scared the City is of legislation (settling even the most ridiculous lawsuits) this would prevent them from such arbitrary decisions in the future, as well as force them into reasonable settlements long before arbitration because it would cost THEM money to fight. I'm telling you, get rid of mandatory arbitration, get rid of Don Oneil like arbitrary decisions!

I am so proud that I did not vote for the fop in 1989 when a brave Patrolman from 011 managed to get lodge 7 decertified. Unfortunately a great majority of my colleagues voted in that historic election for the status quo. So 26 more years of betrayal and inaction followed. From attending meetings, to believing all the rhetoric from every clown that ran for each and every office, to engaging in pickets & protest around city hall & headquarters; it was all a waste of time. The problem has been, is and always will be the fop and lodge 7 in particular. Now in my last year, I can't help but feel sorry for anyone who works the street. We won't change the government's (Fed. & local) contempt for us, nor the media's, but we can change who we trust with our backs. It's time to go local when it comes to a bargaining organization for the rank and file Patrolman. Like NYPD and many other large and small police departments, heck including the white shirts of CPD, we will only do better when we have a bargaining org. that is our own. A sovereign local bargaining labor organization without any outside control or influence is best. How many more years and decades of different administrations at lodge 7, but the same old shit in the end. SCC is right, lodge 7 can't be expected to fight the good fight for many reasons, which a few have already been mention in the topic I am commenting on. However, one that wasn't, but is among the worst is when the dept / city boldly undermined our seniority with regards to furloughs. Who would have thought that someone with 2 years of seniority would have a better furlough than someone with 20 years only because that 2 year officer is assigned to the 5th watch (tact & foot). By the the way, 30, 15, 5 & even 2 years ago all furloughs were selected by district or unit of assignment. Our most precious "commodity", which is our seniority, because it's the only thing you CAN'T get with a phone call, has been undermined. Lodge 7, you have dropped the ball too many times! Well just in time for the 10.5 hr. tours in January 2016 I believe it's time to drop you. God bless America and all of you who are the backbone of CPD.

Ball-Bey Body Bagged

Nine protesters arrested after St. Louis police shooting

August 20, 2015

"Nine people were arrested and St. Louis police used tear gas to clear a street of protesters after an armed man fleeing from officers serving a search warrant was shot and killed Wednesday.

"Approximately 150 people gathered at the scene of the shooting late Wednesday, many of them hurling obscene gestures and expletives at investigators and questioning the police use of deadly force. St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said tear gas was used after protesters threw glass bottles and rocks at police. Some chanted "Black Lives Matter," a mantra used a year ago after the police shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson.

"The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that a vacant home had been set on fire near the scene. Dotson also said that officers were responding to reports of burglaries in the area.

"....Two suspects fled from the home about noon Wednesday on the city's north side before the 18-year-old turned and pointed a handgun at the officers, who shot him. That suspect, Mansur Ball-Bey of St. Louis, died at the scene. Police are searching for the second suspect, who they said is believed to be in his mid- to late teens.

"Both officers, who are white, were unharmed, according to a police report.

"Dotson said four guns, including the handgun wielded by the dead suspect, and crack cocaine were recovered at or near the home, which last year yielded illegal guns during a police search...."

I've been talking with the teamsters, local 700. They are more than willing to see if the rank and file would be interested switching bargaining units. When, this shitty contract only has a year to go, they can start making a move. Within a year from our contract expiration, the teamsters will send out ballets. If 30% are willing to switch, they can start campaigning. That's the best way to do it. If the fop is decertified, we would be without protection. I've called Tom Wilcox at local 700 multiple times. He said he would be more than happy to come out and tell us what they can offer. If anyone has any questions call him. Tom Wilcox local 700 847 553 6616. We need a union that will fight for us, not lay down. Teamsters 2017!

The following are elected field reps at FOP
Dean Angelo, Luitenants pay, plus disability pay (75% detectives salary) plus $600 stipend
Ray Casiano, captains pay plus $600 stipend
Kevin Kilmer, captains pay plus $600 stipend
John Caperilli, captains pay plus $600 stipend

$$$$

FYI Donahue/Dougherty/Davis/Ag-u-liar/DiMaria all took about 40K more a year than this crew and they're doing it voluntarily. When the by-law was voted on last year who voted against it? The above listed goofs. Why? Because they have disillusions of grander of getting back in power.

If you want to go after money issues start there. Today’s payroll is about 200k less than three years ago.

Question which office are you running for?

ps I'm pretty sure Dean and the 1st VP are not taking a stipend but I think Kilmer is but check that to make sure.

Tom Mcdonough and Dean Angelo made a back room deal with Don O'neil regarding a 5th watch in the 018th district that violated the very contract that we have in place today. And due to the back room deal that was made there is no recourse until a new contract is signed. Let me explain……
The 1st and 018th districts have always had a provision in the contract to have more foot people assigned to the 3 watches due to the high profile status and location of the districts. About 5 years ago the midnight foot people were renamed the 5th watch EVT entertainment detail and they were mainly assigned throughout the district on the streets that had bars. The detail was given their own Lt. and Sgt. separate of the watch to run the foot officers assigned to this detail on midnights. If the watch needed officers for the beat cars they would get people from the EVT detail to fill in for the night. No big deal and the detail and the 1st watch ran fine.
Everything was fine until 3 years ago when the 2nd watch foot Sgt, who had the least seniority on the watch, was assigned to an outside detail and said he was not going because he was a 5th watch foot Sgt. and was exempt. The commander at the time sent a more senior Sgt. to the detail who ended up filing a grievance and won the grievance a year later.
We thought this was going to be the end of things but it was only just the beginning. Last year numerous 2nd watch p.o's were assigned to outside details that had more time than foot officers assigned to the watch who should have gone to the details by reverse seniority. The commander said no foot people will go to outside details because they are 5th watch and stay in district. The commander further stated that 5th watch foot officers will also no longer fill in on beat cars for any watch because they are exempt foot officers. Officers on the second watch filed numerous grievances for this and other issues pertaining to manpower which was somehow resolved in a back room deal between Mcdonough and O'neil resulting in the 2nd watch getting 5 more bid spots which we should have had anyway.
Everythings fine now right? Wrong. When furlough picks come the commander states that there are 5 watches and each watch will be picking separately from all the other watches. In essence this new 5th watch is taking away 33 spots from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd watch when it comes to picking furloughs and when it comes to manning the beat cars on each watch. Yet each one of these 5th watch officers is assigned to either 1st, 2nd or 3rd watch. To put this in a little more perspective, a 2nd watch bid officer that has 20 years on the job has the least amount of seniority on the watch even though there are 33 people with less seniority on 2nd watch because they are technically assigned to 5th watch which is NOT recognized by our contract. And when it comes to picking a furlough, the best furlough a 20 year veteran on days could have got was a 4a 10a split!
The unit rep filed a class action grievance on this issue and many more only to find out that the arbitrator won't rule on the 5th watch issue because Mcdonough signed off on something acknowledging the existence of a 5th watch watch in the 018th District even though it goes against what our contract says. Theres even more to this whole mess but I'm not going to bore you with it.
By the way boys and girls, because this was signed off on by a union official, this 5th watch can go citywide if the bosses want it to. Its not just for 018 and 001. So buckle your belts it could be coming to a district near you. There are a lot of pissed off p.o.'s in the 018th District right now because of our union selling us out.

Don O'Neil's sole job is to stick it to the rank and file.
If the FOP doesn't realize that, then it's time to get rid of everyone over on Washington St.

Don O'Neil is not our friend.

I've been talking with the teamsters, local 700. They are more than willing to see if the rank and file would be interested switching bargaining units. When, this shitty contract only has a year to go, they can start making a move. Within a year from our contract expiration, the teamsters will send out ballets. If 30% are willing to switch, they can start campaigning. That's the best way to do it. If the fop is decertified, we would be without protection. I've called Tom Wilcox at local 700 multiple times. He said he would be more than happy to come out and tell us what they can offer. If anyone has any questions call him. Tom Wilcox local 700 847 553 6616. We need a union that will fight for us, not lay down. Teamsters 2017!

To my knowledge, the impound order has been updated, and you cannot impound a car for just a bag of weed anymore. I don't pull much traffic anymore so I'm not quite sure- but I believe it has to be over 10 grams in order to impound the vehicle....

Once again; it is your union if you do not like what the leaders do, take control, go to meetings, vote. No change will happen if a different organization comes in because the same people who go to the meetings will still go to the meetings and they will again gain a leadership role. Democracy requires participation !

Is there a way to perhaps ally with a Teamster or PBPA chapter
that is NOT affiliated/associated with Chicago or Illinois?

That way, turncoats, informants, agents provocateurs and similar such
who stand at cross-purposes to us being able to get our just and lawful
due via open and lawful negotiation and remediation, can be quickly
ferreted-out, neutralized and destroyed administratively, civilly and
criminally.

City Hall knows a fearsome bill WILL be owed to Policemen
if we ever gain a foot-hold with a real bargaining unit beyond
their reach and influence instead of the college of
incompetent amateur ass-clowns we're currently afflicted with.

Very busily doing Jackson J. "Jack" Shit
as they jockey to be plugged into the
$100K hidey-holes Rahm promised them
for stymie-ing the membership until he re-
writes laws, ordinances, procedures and rules
to render the protections won under collective bargaining,
absolutely meaningless and not worth the paper they're written on.

This was Rahm's plan to "save" Chicago.
Shit on The Police and steal/divert resources that
they've been allocated then have the media blow
great ballyhoo up the tax-payer ass about "Look! We found
ALL this money the Cops were getting away with "wasting."

"The Police are the problem..."

Just heard from a source at Fleet Mismanagement, that the city has purchased 500 Yamaha Scooters for the PPO's to write parkers and respond to calls. The city has also purchased 200 4x4 Jeep Wranglers unlimited vehicles for the district tactical teams. This way the2 year wonders on tac teams can chase offenders thru vacant lots and thru the piles of trash in alleys to get their 2 bag of weed arrest to stay on tac.

Trust me.

Ot. Anyone notice that Anita Alvarez is not being backed by the democratic party? They are basically allowing an open primary. Looks like many will get their wish and get a new states attorney. Considering her opponents that may not be a good thing.

If you don't like Anita Alvarez you will absolutely love Kimberly Foxx.

"Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle is pleased to welcome Kimberly Foxx as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Planning.

Foxx is a seasoned juvenile justice prosecutor with 15 years of experience conducting trials, managing teams of attorneys and developing partnerships with civic and advocacy organizations. She was most recently supervising attorney in the juvenile justice bureau of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

“Kimberly has an extensive criminal justice background, including stints in the State’s Attorney’s felony review, sex crimes and child protection divisions. She is an essential addition to my administration,” President Preckwinkle said. “Public safety makes up a significant portion of the County’s budget and focus. I expect Kimberly’s general management and operational skills will help us enact crucial criminal justice reforms.”

Why is so much attention being placed on 5th district tact? Heard they had a big shake up and a lot of changes were made.
Does anyone know who the tact officers were that got oust for arresting the niece of a police officer.
Since when do our family members get special privileges and officers get dumped for doing their jobs?
This shit is ever so fuckd up. A little birdie who is so full of himself interfered with police business and used his juice to have the officers oust.
Hope they dump his worthless ass and the sergeant should have got a CR on him for even asking the officers to change their report.
Kudos to the officers for upholding the integrity of the department. My family members don't get away with shit. If you break the law then you pay the crime. Read your Ethic uncle officer. You just opened up a can of worms and wait till the media gets a hold of this.
Lot of cars impounded for a bag of weed, it's revenue for the city. Since you work at headquarters then have your clout change the order on vehicle impound just in case another one of your family members get stopped. I'm calling the Sup on Monday, let's see what he thinks about this when so many hate us in such prevalent times.

RE: 005th District
I'm a Sergeant trying like hell to get out of here with these morons. I'm Goin to be that guy on the first damn pony express going north.
From my understanding the arrestee had no identification and never been arrested so the aggravating factors lead to a long form arrest.
As of 21 August 2015 the order has not been changed or updated so the officers had every right to impound the vehicle.
Saturation impound vehicles everyday for one bag of weed. When we start resorting to officers doing the right thing and doing their job but getting dumped from tact because of popularity contest then it's time to start making some administrative changes because obviously someone has soft balls and a lot of sensitivity

5th district is really fucked. From the top to the bottom.
Did you all year this shit. Two tact officers stopped a car for expired plates. Driver has a warrant, pass never has a bag of weed no I'd never been arrested. Driver acting a fool with the officers and calling her uncle SD that works at headquarters. He shows up at the station looking for a Favor but probably didn't do his Ethics 2015 and didn't have the juice to stop the weed arrest and impound.
Now the plot thickens. He cried to the Bosses at headquarters, they stuck it up KJ and Capt Pigglet's rear end.
Now the whole department is being sued for stupidity and ruining the officers reputation.
Pull the records of every vehicle impounded for 1 bag of weed but wait, you can't impound this car because it's a police officers neice.
Would you be fooled if I tell you that Tipsy Commander KJ and looney tunes Capt Pigglet dumped the Officers from tact. One was dumped immediately and the other was dumped 30 days later.
Ubfuckinbelievable
Somebody just flunked Ethics 2015. Hope you're happy officer SD from headquarters. You need to go back to the district So you don't forge where you cone from. Tell your dirt bag family members that it's a automatic impound and no one can help you
You got damn douchebag worthless piece of cow manure.
Now go cry and tell the Bosses that and while you're at it, pay the impound fine
Wait until the Suo and City Lawyers hear about this. They will shit bricks

this IS NOT TRUE. I cant imagine
a list being put together without at

They are being closed mouth because they have been told that their Command futures depend on their cooperation in this matter. Gang Investigations/Intellignence array of teams will take a hit as will teams in Narcotics. They need bodies back in the Districts and they are coming from Homan Sq.
