Every Day Isn't Like This Kid
Sometimes, you can go entire weeks without saving a life:
- A Chicago Police probationary officer on his first day on the job Sunday helped save a man’s life.
Probationary Officer Nicholas Picicci and Field Training Officer Robert Cavaiani responded to the 3100 block of North Marmora at 8:20 a.m., according to a news release from Chicago Police.
The officers found a 62-year-old man inside his home having a medical emergency, police said. He was unresponsive and not breathing.
Picicci and Cavaiani began CPR immediately and continued until the fire department arrived. The man was taken to Community First Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.
All kidding aside, a great start to the career. Congratulations to the Officers.

It's all downhill from here, kid.... Seriously, nice job to both of them.
Congratulations to both officers. Good Job.
And a speedy recovery to the hospitalized man.
Great job FTO Bob!
I hope the young lad didn't catch any diseases. Another thing to think about is if the victim had died, the young officer would have been sued, terminated, and maybe even charged with murder in this climate. He should have just waited for the ambulance. Glad it worked out this time though but his FTO should give him a good talking to.
Outstanding work, Officers!
If you're lucky enough...IF, you'll have handsome Bob Caviani for an fto. He will teach you things and give you direction that only a quality seasoned vet of the streets can show you. He's a great Cop and an awesome Dad. Good job Bob, I would have expected nothing less from you.
Hell yeah.

You won the lottery in the FTO game, kid. Bob is one of the best, most caring guys out there. Listen to him. You are going to have the most rewarding careers a person can have.
Good job. That's not a bad district for a PPO to work.
Way to go, gentlemen.
Chicago's Finest.
Goes for EMS that followed up quick, too.
...and the crew in the ER.
Someone gets to see another beautiful morning.
God bless all here.
Congrats guys!!! I like to buy you Paesans a beer.

Nice work Bobby Cav!
Last of an era of what FTOs are supposed to be.
Well done, "FTO Bob" and Officer Picicci. Like me, I'm certain that Officer Picicci will never forget his first tour with the CPD.
My very first job on my very first tour of duty: Just out of midnight roll call, we got a seemingly routine "disturbance in the tavern" at 358 1/2 S. Pulaski Rd.
Fortunately, I was partnered up with a seasoned street-wise veteran, the late A'Roderick "Ronnie" McLaughlin, a Walter Payton lookalike. Long story made short. A double cop killer wannabe abruptly pivoted on us with a gun in hand. "Bang-Bang". Ronnie shot him and saved our lives with his snub-nosed double tap from beneath his winter cap. My closest call during my entire career.
God bless you, Ronnie. If it weren't for you, that terrifying encounter could have also been the last night of my life.
Great job guys!
It was nice to see a POSITIVE story for a change for CPD.
Hope everyone gets some positive recognition for the jobs they do.
It is hard to work in a chronically negative environment.
Next case.
Great job guys... Bob has been there quite awhile
"Every day isn't like this kid" , It is for ZOGG.
Great job, Officers
You guys made the brothers in blue proud.
I carry a pocket mask for CPR in my first aid kit,You might save your partners life.
GREAT Job Officers!
Good job KID!!!!
Sincerely,
025 dist. Resident
Congratulations on your first day and first life save. Hope your career brings you satisfaction and a sense of serving and helping.

There is only one word in this world that could describe you. That word is coward. Sued for doing cpr? You should brush up on when you are civilly protected... Absolute coward.
On Zogg's first day, he was awarded two award of valors, a police medal and was officer of the month.... Before lunch.
Great job guys!!!
Much respect, stay safe, and put in that contact card.
Honestly when i heard this on the news, the first person to pop in my head was Fto Bob. I was in Fto class with him and he is an all around great guy. Bob sort of coached alot of us through the fto program. A great leader and he knows his stuff. Great job guys!!
Congrats thanks for some nice press!
Whoever keeps posting this Zogg nonsense give him a call, tell him to his face coward!

Bob.. You..You... Your good you!!!!!!!!
09:16 - You raise a very valid point carrying a CPR mask. Like the former Chief of the Honolulu PD who kept asking his city council for AEDs & guess who was the first save for HPD - the chief! So since our CALEA crazed Superindunce-do wants to raise standards - why don't we have stocked first aid kits in our squads?? i still can't forget when a suburban PO showed me the gear that his agency had neatly organized in the trunk including a first aid kit with military type "quick clot" bandages to help stop bleeding. Spare ammo and flares were also packed and ready to go.
If my beat car had an inflated spare w/ jack - we were fully equipped. The first aid kit was a ziplock bag with a few items mooched from the nice nurses at the ER.
So McStreetlight - get on board w/ CALEA and start equipping our officers with something as basic as a first aid kit. Is that too difficult a goal or is CALEA simply an excuse to modify uniforms, ban visible tattoos, and generally mess with the rank & file??
And Disability Dean - can you get on board or is this too controversial??
- Congrats to the FTO & the rookie in 025.
Great Job guys. Officer Picicci don't listen to the negativity expressed by 11/09/2015 03:44:00AM You are always going to have people like that on the job. You did what you were supposed to do and did it well. He is the one who needs a talking to. I don't know your FTO but from the comments on this board it sounds like you have a good one. Listen to him and learn. This job has its good days and bad days as you will see, and as someone who is almost at the end of the road I wish you and all of your classmates the best and hope your careers are as rewarding as mine has been.
RE--- hope the young lad didn't catch any diseases. Another thing to think about is if the victim had died, the young officer would have been sued, terminated, and maybe even charged with murder in this climate.

You are an absolute goof. I'd say more but this is a thread congratulating the fine work of those two coppers who save a life. All that aside if you for a minute believe yourself that you would stand by and let a man die so that you don't have to be involved, I highly recommend you quit tonight. If I ever see it I I will ensure you are disciplined and hopefully fired.
To the officers involved I offer my respect and accolades for a job well done.
Nice job officer. A lot of us retired guys did some nice things in our career and now we are being rewarded by Rhammie taking away our health insurance. Our Dept. Commendations and Honorable Mentions don't seem to matter to the mayor . I'm just sayin.♠️
Great job,,,,now you're looking at having a bar on your sleeve before you are able to get your green ribbon from whatever Supt succeeds GMac

Are you fucking kidding me? Please retire, you prick. Hopefully you wouldn't think the same if it was your father dying and some lazy jagoff stood there waiting for the bus.
Doesn't surprise me. Bob is as good as it gets as an FTO! He taught me a lot and is the last of a dying breed.
Lets get a petition started to make Bob a merit sergeant. Great job Bob!
Just everyone emember, FTO BOB, from 025, was trained by...
M. Seiser.
Nicely done coppers. And to 3:44:00 AM, I was waiting for some jagoff to say that. Who are you kidding, you were a dog way before the lawsuits hit.
You're a good man Bob! Your karma card has a very positive balance. You will always be the first fto I think of, the most professional, the the poster for "Officer Friendly"!

Good job Kid...How many Parkers and Movers did ya get?

The point wasn't to bash the officers but to educated them. CPD does not equip us to perform CPR on the public in a safe manner, nor do they train us which does in fact open you up to a lawsuit if something goes wrong and you don't have training. Now maybe this officer had some outside training and maybe he was carrying his own safety equipment and that would be a different story, but I doubt it. Or maybe he performed hands only CPR which would also be okay. If he performed CPR with his mouth however, THEN HE NEEDS A GOOD TALKING TO. Anyone with any time on this job knows the kind of shit and filth we come in contact with out in the street. It was very noble of the kid to try to save a person's life but officers do have to consider their safety as well.
So to jackass 11/09/2015 12:57:00 PM, don't call people that have been doing this job longer than you've been alive cowards. Clean some of that hair gel out of your ears and try listening once in awhile.
Bring back Joe Cassidy,
Last great FTO in 025. Bob is good for keeping new guys out of trouble. If you wanted to be a great street cop, Joe was the man.

If Commander Mccotter didn't put in bob after his shooting. What makes you think Mario will put him in now. Bob will retire an fto. That's what he does. That's what makes him happy.
I love being an FTO. Always have always will. It's my calling and my passion. Thanks for all the kind words. I'm truly blessed to know you and to have worked with you. Much respect to each and everyone of you Bob
In this day and age, Cassidy would be in jail!
joe wasnt a great street cop............

Yea... good 'ol Mario puts in RM for merit sgt. Soooooo many names of great coppers come to mind before him.
Excerpts from NBC 11 in Atlanta:
""Full CPR is the preferred method but Hands-Only CPR is a simple skill for those not trained in full CPR or are uncomfortable with mouth to mouth contact, McIntyre said. It's about 100 bests per minute. We like to say you want to follow the beat to the song "Staying Alive" to do that,"
Through the 'hands-only' CPR approach, the Red Cross wants to give bystanders the confidence to step in when they are needed most."
