I foresee bad things in the near future. It has to do with feds.
The knit cap is actually a digital camera holder with streaming video antennas.
Manufactured by Daley/Vaneko Electronics and Knitting mills.
Can we go back to Divisions instead of Bureaus. After all this is Chicago not New York.
Where is my baseball cap?
SCC, since the brass won't can you inform your readers that there is a crew of four armed M/1s that have been terrorizing the north side in 18 and surrounding districts. They have done about a dozen robbers on the street at gun point in the last few days, stolen multiple vehicles, been involved in two "chases", smashed up two cpd vehicles monday night and are some pretty brazen shitheads as they just keep coming back. Driving a stolen white Jeep Cherokee they were in the sites of a 18th district car at around 12:15 this morning after committing two more armed robberies but 1899 told the unit to drop anchor and let them run. How fucking pitiful we have become.
Hopefully the tattoo policy could be worked on, however I doubt it because that is because they're trying to be in line with the CALEA deal..
Nice!!!!
Yipi I Yea,I still wore mine
Who gives a damn?! I'm not doing any real police work anymore. I'll wear a fkn clown hat as long as I get paid.
At least your head will be warm as the bus rolls over you this winter.
The problem with the knit hat is coppers where them a hundred different ways. They use them as fashion statements. Warmth? You want warmth? Meet Mr. Rocky J. Squirrel
Hopefully baseball caps will be back by spring
So does that mean Calea is done and gone.
Cause they were the driving force in that order of no knit winter hat and no tats.
If that's the case, then is the gp of R&D done too?
She was the Civilian lead on that project.
Where they gonna dump her now?
She f up the Academy and it's budget as well as the In-Service training budget were 5yrs of documents left with her.
She f up this Calea garbage.
She can's make it an entire week without taking a day off of work.
Yet no one cares about that theft.
God bless who ever gets her.
I believe the tattoo policy is from the CALEA bullshit and not McCarthy.
The department does 99% things backwards and to hurt coppers. Refreshing they can do 1 thing out of 100 to do something that makes sense that shouldn't have been changed to begin with.
Forget about the hats, we only need one more kilt till we hit 500!!!!
Watch commanders next?
gimme back my baseball hat so i can block out the sun and impede the rain!THANK U!
That is fucking awesome. I hated wearing that trooper hat or rocky bullwinkle hat.
We have too many people making too much money making up rules that NO one actually cares about!
Good luck on the taser roll out. I want the extra long prongs so they go through puffy winter jackets.
I DONT WANT TO CARRY A TASER!remember a while back, a sgt tased a guy and he died!they suspended taser use and the community was marching against tasers as cruel!REMEMBER?
Tazers are also to be required for all. In fact all new hires will be required to purchase one as part of their uniform and equipment.
AWESOME! Right thinking people prevailed!
Now bring back the baseball caps!
The Crown hat really is uncomfortable to wear and SUCKS for beat patrol!
Send the crown cap back to the 1920's and keep it there!
Rights Group Slams Police Tasers
December 31, 2008
By: The Archives
A study by Amnesty International criticizes the Chicago Police Department's use of tasers.
Tasers are weapons that shoot electric darts used to incapacitate targets.
The group examined 98 autopsies of people hit by tasers in the United States.
The fatalities include the 2005 death of Chicagoan Ronald Haase.
Regarding issuing tasers to everyone.
Amnesty International's Dalia Hashad slams a Chicago police plan to add 2,500 new tasers.
HASHAD: Without having appropriate training, without the appropriate, independent, comprehensive medical testing on this weapon, this is certainly an invitation for disaster.
Amnesty International urges governments to abandon tasers or limit their use to life-threatening situations.
The Chicago police did not respond to our questions about the study or the taser purchase.
In the past, the department has defended tasers as an alternative to guns.
i wonder what KNIT wit made such an order??????
oh yeah, he gone.......
But I don't wanna mess my hair up.
Well - is SCC going to send a knit cap to GARRY? He should proudly wear it when he goes back to NYC and see the NYPD version.
Now get rid of the ridiculous farce called compstat.
Don't tease me about the tattoo policy, SCC. That's great that knit cap is back. I gave up on the tattoo policy. Too many haters ( we looked like motor cycle gangs, thugs, very unprofessional, etc, etc) here. But, I don't remember any single citizen complain about officers' with tattoos. Yet, we see many Officers who are CHEAP and REFUSED to buy new uniform to replace their vest, pants, shirts, and sweaters that are very worn out. Officers who are WAY over weight. Appearance commands respect. Why don't the Supervisors address those Officers? Well, I know. We have too many important issues to tackle than Officers' having tatts. Anyway, have a safe and a Happy New Year to everyone!
Thank God!Common sense wins. I'm glad I didn't throw mine away. Let's wear it correctly, don't give them a reason to take it away again.
Good. Knit caps are warm and keep Police from losing their cool.
Only after I have given all of mine away to family and friends as souvenirs.
Who finally belly ached about losing money over the little children losing their two and one half cents per day wage loss after the hats were initially canceled.
Did rhammy buy a manufacturing company in Cuba? Will the new and improved hats say Policia?
Will they come with any refugees attached or hopefully a cigar or two.
Or has Penquena Bailarina decided that if Obama can get isis refugees /soldiers to enter the U.S. from Cuba we would be none the wisest.
I'm not a fan of visible tattoos in general. And personally I'd like to see them covered. I think it reflects poorly among the department and the officer, but that's just me.
However, it's a matter of what's written in the contract and from a contract law standpoint, that is what matters.
Great news, now if they'll just bring back the Cushman I'll be in business.
Most recent changes will slow down and trip up law enforcement personnel. Bringing back the knit hat was one of the few positive changes the department did for it's employees.
Yeah, love how they continue to recycle policies and orders to give the appearance that these useless administrators are somehow a productive necessity. Like the the new 13 page contact card order that was basically the same as the last one, tweaked of course to ensure adequate culpability rests upon anyone foolish enough to do proactive work. Nice to see they send out an officer/instructor who announces his whopping 10 years of experience, 7 of which he was assigned to a gang unit, adorned with enough awards plastered to his chest it would give a 5 star military general war veteran a hard-on, to give the roll calls another poorly produced (and overly expensive) streaming video regarding the new system and answer questions. Every officer in roll call had shoes older than the "instructor"; the looks on their faces was priceless.
Can I wear my matching mittens?

I have heard any number of legit chases terminated by bosses lately. It is frustrating as hell for those of us that still enjoy real police work once in awhile, but on the flip side it may very well be the right thing to do. We can get wrapped up and excited and shit ends up going sideways, in our minds it is still for the right reasons, but the fall out can be heavy. Keep in mind if they get away and nobody is hurt or killed you still win, get them another day.

Yes.
And reopen the Areas, so victims and witnesses don't have to travel halfway across the world for line-ups and interviews.
1:26am....In custody after car/foot chase yest.
Right now R&D is working on a safety batting helmet with a removable fur liner to replace both the knit cap and the baseball cap. It will have an optional face mask and make all members invulnerable to baseball bat attack. It will have attachment points for cameras and tasers. Just start working out those neck muscles.

A goof named Cardenas came to 004 to talk about the policy, he refused so answer any questions from po's about it. He sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about. We are doomed if they are sending people like this out to train us.
Dang it... sold it on Ebay already.
We need to get rid of Dean Angelo. He is a fucking sell out and a fucking rat. A vote of no confidence or a recall. Cannot be trusted.

-----That car was chased through several Districts tuesday night (002,003,004,006,008, Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park) nobody called it off and it lasted 30mins or so. They eventually fled from the car around 57th and King and were placed into custody!! Excellent job by all officers involved in the pursuit!
Look at the bright side, guys- when Gainer was Supt of the State Police he brought in "Ascots" for the Troopers- Yikes! Looked like a bunch of 1940's movie star wannabes.

They're spinning this study. The fact is the vast majority of people who died after being hit with a taser had some per-existing condition that, while perhaps exasperated by the taser, was the cause of death, not the taser strike itself. There's all kinds of studies to support this. Amnesty International should go back to putting on concerts instead of dirtying up the police.

Officer, that is the appropriate response. If you are chasing someone in a vehicle pursuit then all of the liability falls on your shoulder if something goes wrong. However, if you catch the bad guys you get a -DEPARTMENT COMMENDATION AWARD. If you are wrong; you lose your job or perhaps your freedom. If the department wants us to chase then let them change the vehicle pursuit order. Remember, you are supposed to continually and progressively engage in "the balancing test" and all the department as to do is say: "the officer did not conduct the balancing test" and you are fucked.
Great news, now if they'll just bring back the Cushman I'll be in business.
Half of the coppers that read this comment have no idea what a "Cushman" is.
goatees are in , read the order

A little good news.....

Yay !!
So does that mean Calea is done and gone.

Fuck Yeah brother!! That ugly ass hat is the best
So an fellow officer with 10 years on... (10yr is no rookie)
Who has received a few awards... (Means he's probably done some actual police work)
Has the unfortunate assignment to advise coppers of the new bullshit contact cards...(someone has to do it)
And your first instinct is to mock him??? You must be some treat to work with.
Did you at least have the balls to say it to his face, or were you a coward that ran straight to a blog??
I can probably guess the answer to that. It's asshats like you that make this department unbareable sometimes. We should all be sticking by each other in this day and age, but I guess you're too much of a supercop for that.

same officer came to our roll call, known him for years. he's one of the nicest POs around. probably cant say the same for you. you should feel like such a keyboard warrior because you have more time on the job. for the shit he went thru, i'm glad the good guys won in that one, he should be proud to wear an award. some of those actually mean something
-014
SmH fools!! Its like the last contract and the couple pennies they dangled in front of you as a distraction from the a** F*ckin they gave you on the rest of the contract....
Just in time for winter.
Bring back the stripes on the trousers and white crown covers. Oh, and callboxes too. Ya goofs.
11:28am comment right on the money. Don't forget to mention E.M. She never did a stop to begin with yet she is teaching the class on it. Useless people that play the game and go on and spout at the mouth about all the units they worked in. Complete joke she is..........

Another string of robberies last night. This time the chase was probably done by state and/or suburban coppers who can still be the police. At least some of the offenders are in custody.
I heard we were all getting Jester hats.
Eat My Shorts!
They also repealed the order for snitch boxes...thank god McCarthy is gone!

You must be the timekeeper marking her present when her ass is sitting at home 2-3 days a week, EVERY week.

Whoever you are please go get some help. Its alarming how much time you spend obsessing over this person. That you know so much about her comings and goings rises to the level of stalking. The fact that you followed her daily schedule from the academy to R&D is even more alarming. You continuously interrupt important threads to post your maniacal rantings.I would tell you to get over it but it's clear that you are beyond that. I hope that the target of your obsession is aware of it and is taking precautions.
The knit hat coming back is SUCH a big story, channel 7 actually REPORTED on it. (To be fair, the newsreader had this wtf look on his face the whole time.)
I observed a fellow officer wearing a non CPD knit hat. It is officers like this that fuck it up for the rest of us. Hey all you non compliant cheap asses go purchase the right hat.
maybe i'm a little too jaded, but why the fuck do some coppers have to wear that knit hat cocked to the left or right.no one is stupid here folks(people).maybe that's why it was shit canned before.jesus christ,show at least a little respect while on duty and in uniform.do what the fuck you want to do off duty and pay the consequence of your actions.you look like shit in supposed uniform representing with that stupid knit hat.
Hopefully the idiots don't f it up, wear the right hat! Also, shocking that these new PPO's have full grown beards and get away with it.
