$350 an Hour?
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday defended paying $350 an hour to recently retired Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey to advise city leaders on policing issues, even though the East Coast city had a higher homicide rate than Chicago last year.
Emanuel said Ramsey, Washington, D.C.'s former top cop and a Chicago Police Department deputy superintendent from Englewood, will not be considered for the vacant superintendent post here.
"Ramsey's been clear that after D.C. and Philly, not only he doesn't want the job, and you don't ask someone who doesn't want the job, this is too big and important a job," Emanuel said. "And so, he's clear, and we have a committee searching for the right person."
Rahm is responding to rumors and speculation on the blog now. But he still hasn't contacted us for the vacant Superintendent spot. We won't cost $350 per hour, and we've offered to save the city at least $18 million. Maybe more.

But the city is broke I thought. Why are they cancelling rdo's in patrol to go to active shooter training if you don't volunteer it goes reverse seniority. I thought they can only cancel your rdo in case of an emergency?
Advice from the political elites and clouted ones does not come cheap.
"...and we've offered to save the city at least $18 million, maybe more..."
Hey now, SCC!
That's the same amount of money Rahm "The Littlest Lick-Hitter" Emanuel made
during his illicit stint at Fannie Mae.
Damn...

Gyahhh!
Could they find someone more expensive??? Money must be getting siphoned from the pension
More jerking off .
Article says there were 468 homicides last year. Hey jackass says 502. I know who i believe.
Holy shit does city hall waste money! $350 an hour? Wow! What a joke
Dear god stop this madness

Re the Cpd Officer with the OD car that Skokie/Suntimes put the alert on .
Don't be fooled by the article. He is a great guy that did nothing wrong. The vehicle was purchased by a Ford Dealer in Illinois and not modified. His crime is driving into Skokie. Legally parking and shopping? How the fuck can Skokie conduct themselves like this? Ruin the career of Officer because he found a cheap used car?
So why do we need to pay Ramsey $350.00 an hour to consult when he co-chaired the 116 page final report of the President's Task Force On 21st Century Policing which was a conference on police guide lines. Perhaps a new Superintendent could read it rather than wasting money hiring Ramsey. Also the Justice Departments's investigation will lead to another report and federal oversight. Time for every officer to become an attorney because you will need that in every decision or action you take. More smoke and mirrors than addressing the what the real problem is in all the cities controled by Democrat administrations for all these years.
If we need to pay $350. An hour, than fire all current command staff members. Because they can't do the job. More throwing away tax payers money. They need to promote people who can do the job. This is an disgrace. I know some will say he is a good guy. That's not the point. It about tax payers money and doing a good job. We didn't get our selves where we are, they did. Let's just keep raising taxes and make this a third world city.
$2800 hour eight hour days. Does he go off the clock for lunch? Does he still get those two personals?
Of course it can't be a former Deputy Sup. From Englewood who reduced Homicides in Englewood by fifty percent while he was there, that would be racist, he's white. That's how fucking nuts it has gotten in this city, no one even cringes when a blatantly racist statement like that is made, as long as white people are the victim. I am just about Fed up with all the ass kissing bullshit that has gone on for years pandering to the "criminal class". Get over yourselves black people, you nor any of your parents were ever slaves and the only place slavery still exhausts today is in Africa! Control your murdering children and stop blaming the Police for your shortcomings . So if the truth hurts, too bad get over it and fix your sorry asses.
Signed: Tired of all your sorry excuses.
$350.00hr = $728,000.00 a year to tell us what exactly? Incredible! I for one can't wait for the wisdom to flow from his lips. During his long career with the Chicago Police Department he had assignment as commander of the 011th district when it was somewhat salvageable and still allowed it to go to $hit.
Get out your Beat binders!
Yet the city laying people off left and right. What a joke.

Well Academy Ranger, It has been said many times that the academy is the dumping ground for the rejects of the job. It is a place to hide people who are connected and cannot survive on the job because they are too incompetent and retarded. And here is proof that the academy is housing the retarded and the rejects.
http://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-politics/7/71/1270986/chicagp-police-with-multiple-complaints-taught-at-police-academy
Yes, that is a picture of the academy. So you can take your diploma mill masters degree in police theory and use it to clean something.
1/24/2016 12:34:00 PM
______________
Ramsey can clean out the academy and eliminate the dead weight. The instructors think that they are so superior. I would like to see how they survive working in patrol. Every time that I go for training, the instructors read verbatim off the power point slides and their expertise extends no further than that. The situation is pathetic. Instructors should be assigned to the academy based on expertise and credentials. The diplomas from the diploma mills should be given zero weight. If the candidate does not have a degree, then that should be a disqualifier. That is how it works in the real world.
Between his CPD pension and whatever retirement plans he received at D.C. & Philly - how about coming home to Sweet Home Chicago on a pro bono basis and giving back to the city which helped you launch a very successful and respected career? Not only would it send an important message to other ex-Supts who collect bloated salaries from a non profit organization- it would also be a loud & clear "Up Yours!" To RMD who was terrified of an intelligent, articulate Black who could have been a strong opponent in a future mayoral bid. I don't know how many times i heard people say that they would have voted for a viable candidate opposing ShortShanks. Instead, we had such stellar candidates as Dorothy Brown and Bobby Rush.
Seriously, Mr. Ramsey, you could do just as good a job unpaid - but extremely appreciated by a city clamoring for public safety. It would also send a message to other extremely well compensated public figures that civic pride does not require an inflated salary. And if you really wanted it - the Office of Mayor could be yours. {OK Rahm - now you can be terrified.}
A retired patrolman who worked for you
How many hours a week will this guy be working? That could work out to quite a princely sum.
Plus whenever he finds a sap to fill the Superintendent job you know he'll be paying that sap crazy money too.
For $350 an hour, hopefully Chuck will recognize what a big asshole Cmdr Bobblehead is and recommend placing him somewhere where he can't run a district into the ground. No people skills whatsoever.
Chuckie returns!
$350 an hour is about the going rate for a consultant of Charles Ramsey's caliber. Chicago needs to wake up and prepare to spend big bucks for successful solutions. You need a guy with a tremendous depth of experience and credibility to come up with the needed strategies and solutions. Plus Charles Ramsey is going to have expenses, staffing costs, and transportation requirements. Wake up Chicago and pay for what you want. The CPD management and leadership ranks don't have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to come up with tactical and strategic responses to the dystopian challenges facing Chicago. If you can name one person on CPD that can meet this standard I will bend over and perform auto fellatio.......The only other solution is to bring In Charles Williams who is an acolyte of Charles Ramsey.
Does he get to work VRI with us now?
Maybe asked for $350 an hour because he didn't want the job and he thought that nobody would be that stupid to pay that amount...
How could you pass that up?
Not bad. $672,000 a year. And people make fun out of Lewis University
After earning a huge pension and substantial salaries in DC and Philadelphia, one would think he had altruistic qualities.
Funny he keeps finding money for what he wants ...DePaul, Maggie Daley park, bike lanes, Ramsey...etc.....but pensions and schools are draining the city....and amazingly no one calls him on this....
This guy now makes more than a surgeon, but then again he can act like one and surgically remove the gold star clubs lips from reverend and politicians posterior and maybe restore some morale back to once proud feared but respected Cpd. Ramsey makes more than superintendent mayor governor combined, nice fleecing taxpayers! Nothing like spending "not my money" like a drunken sailor!
Why is it that John wears 3 stars not 4 like superintendent, why are we paying his salary and Ramsey over 1 million dollars we need 2 top bosses? John and Charles health is #1 watch your blood pressure, get a complete physical exercise the stress your about to endure will be monumental in this position in all seriousness your still blue take care of yourselves May God bless CPD! May God also stop the insatiable appetite of media government complex attacking police on an hourly basis in this town, we definitely have the worst destructive media in the country right here constantly attacking police from created stories that they embellished to battening officers writing everything they can to help destroy careers. With police in a fetal position will media call their darlings like political animals and revered when they or their families need help?
I know it is not full time but that is on average for a forty hour work week of 52 weeks; $728,000. Why would you want to be the supt. anyway.
"Where does Rahm keep finding the money?"
Your pension fund!!
At that money and zero goes to training. A city as large as this and all we have is an academy that too small for any serious training, ranges always down, an alternate training site that's bug infested, no heat in the winter, no ac in the summer and they expect you to train in that environment. What a joke. Soon recruits will do all their training on line. Let's not forget the new ASI training, they use the fire depts dummies and someone's home boombox, now that's high speed!
Did Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke apply to be Tiny Dancer's puppet? I doubt it. Sheriff Clarke is easily the best choice but he's hip to the Chicago Way.
$350 an hour is proof that any idiot can make a fool out of the City of Chicago more than twice.
Reforming the Police Dept isn't a solution, it's a sham.
The culture needs to reform, or "fundamentally change", starting from where the violence emanates.
But chickenshit mayors or police chiefs here won't talk about that.
Must be nice to be connected.
Ramsey is old and he has no answers. He was so so in Philly and dc. He is not a miracle worker. His ideas are old. He is five minutes ago. It is about as effective as bringing bobby hull back to black hawk games and having him sit with the fans in the 300 section. Just smoke and mirrors. No real effect. This has to be started new with all new people.
OT:
Any guesses on what Rahm the redacted text asked Escalante on page two? Escalante answered "Yes for the shooting officer."
Rahm knows the game the media plays, so I'm sure he asked if the officer was white. I'm honestly surprised he willingly had this conversation through texts.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/ct-mayor-rahm-emanuel-text-messages-pdf-20160125-htmlstory.html
Specifically what policing issues is Chuck addressing that he is such an expert in? More of what could be our pension money being tossed away to friends of chicago politicians.
It's not just the hourly rate that is questionable, it's the level of expertise! "...advise city leaders on policing issues, even though the East Coast city had a higher homicide rate than Chicago last year...." That's a little like paying a homeless person advice on fiscal policy. Ooops - I shouldn't give Rahm any ideas!
Why not, he is bailing Rham out of a tight spot. He is going to be the scapegoat when things go wrong.
Also, lets not forget Rham hires his buddy lawyers for a hell of a lot more.
There is no way I would take the job for double the money.
Works out to 15K per week. $$$$$
If Rahm wants to save the morale of the department, he should promote the next Sup within the department. Or else, it will be a disaster for the end of his political career.

After being passed over here twice, I bet he's laughing all the way to the bank. As he should.
And let's remember, the law firm that is 'representing' the city during the Federal probe is making up to $1200/hr. The taxpayers are footing that bill, too.

Ramsey's expertise covers more than 'policing issues'. He created the original CAPS program, which Rahm adores. He is also a black man, who can conceivably lend his views on police/race interactions. He looks good on paper and Rahm is all about the resume.
Ramsey was brought in because he's black, it's spin. Stay fetal

Unless they flat-out caught him pulling some motorist over, using lights and siren, this a total crock.
Where will Rahm put up the time clock?
Whatever the cost, considering the leadership we've had here over about a decade (and yes, this would include Phat Phil), it is money well spent. Kudos to Ramsey. Even though he will only be a consultant, any suggestions he makes can only serve to steer this Titanic around the iceberg.

Charlie Williams has not expressed any desire to return to the stresses of the old job. Can't blame him. The position he currently holds is far less stressful.
Of course it can't be a former Deputy Sup. From Englewood who reduced Homicides in Englewood by fifty percent while he was there, that would be racist, he's white. That's how fucking nuts it has gotten in this city, no one even cringes when a blatantly racist statement like that is made, as long as white people are the victim. I am just about Fed up with all the ass kissing bullshit that has gone on for years pandering to the "criminal class". Get over yourselves black people, you nor any of your parents were ever slaves and the only place slavery still exhausts today is in Africa! Control your murdering children and stop blaming the Police for your shortcomings . So if the truth hurts, too bad get over it and fix your sorry asses.
Signed: Tired of all your sorry excuses.
Many ignorant posts seem to see print here on the blog, but even among the crap that sees bring here , this one is about the worst.
For your information, Leo did NOT reduce homicides in Englewood by 50%; Leo also had a whole lot of outside help that no other cmdr. of Englewood has ever received from the Dept., before his arrival and even after his 'ascension' to Deputy Chief (of a DISTRICT). Get over yourself; The only Great White Hope I've ever seen was in a movie starring James Earl Jones.
This is how Rahm reacts when under siege.
Rahm isn't overly concerned with if or how much Ramsey will help matters.... with Rahm it's all about how much this political showmanship might help with Rahm's severely damaged image.
I'll tell you what's wrong:
Shitheads are shitheads
Lack of family structure
Proactive policing is dead
Street stop is no more
Morale: Worst in 25 years
Cops are staying fetal
ACLU reading every ISR; then report to Loevy
Complete disconnection between the command staff and street cop
Rahm "fingers"

Keep believing the hype that Rick the self promoter Flair feeds you. 007 has been number one or 2 in homicide for probably the last 30 years. The only thing he could reduce by 50 percent is the fake awards he used to wear.
For $350 an hour, hopefully Chuck will recognize what a big asshole Cmdr Bobblehead is and recommend placing him somewhere where he can't run a district into the ground. No people skills whatsoever.
As long as he has his ex englewood suck asses to follow him around and tell him what a great boss he is he will continue to be an asshole. 007 is so much better without all of them.
OT:
After reading the pages from the text messages from Rahm, where's any concern about the officer who shot the woman?? That must have been horrible for the officer to find out about that. But i guess it's all about how the mayor looks, and nothing else.
Believe it or not, that sounds about right for consulting fees for someone with his experience. And $350/hour is gross for him, not net. He pays his own taxes, insurance, retirement investment (401K or the like), etc., which can be substantial.
Also, it's easier... and far less costly... to fire a consultant than an employee.
Unless we adopt a get tough on crime attitude nothing will change no matter who they bring in. When will the media and politicians realize that they have created a monster by protecting these scum bags, it is like a snowball rolling down the hill it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and crime keeps getting more and more out of control
So now hes the Ballerinas Puppet , and is going to work against all Officers , What ever the Ballerina says , he Jumps
Remember about a year ago when someone posted that Ramsey was seen having lunch with Rahm about a year ago. McCarthy was on his way out then!

Overcrowded academy, absolutely no parking, lack of classroom space, outdated equipment. Next week, around the clock Taser training, CIT training, procedural justice and 200 recruits in classes. Good luck trying to find any parking. Cars will be parked everywhere including on sidewalks. Entry to parking lots blocked. Business as usual at the academy.

The car was a 2014. What department trades in a practically new vehicle and leaves all the equipment on it. I feel sorry for any coppers who stopped him and gave the idiot a play.
What is he going to add to all of this? Just more pandering to the untermensch's of society. Rahm can't bail the water fast enough so lets keep the b/s flowing.Ramsey might be a nice guy but him and the justice dept should concentrate on forming values in the minority communities. But as we all know they want the police to adapt to there culture which is what,chaos! Hey Chuck give it up and enjoy life. The counter is ticking down.Taking this on is like boarding the value Jet flight in Fla several years ago. Getting on board you think its going to be a nice flight and you end up in the everglades. Chuckie, keep moving nothing more to see here because you saw it when you were on the job here and you didn't make any changes then so now Rahm thinks your a miracle worker from Philly and DC.Just like Grau,didn't change anything while he was on but now that he's gone he's on a bs committee to change the PD because he's sooooo smart. What a joke.
The man is 65 years old...
Why would he be bothered being a Superintendent
under Rahm?
Especially since Rahm gave the last guy a grabber?
Don't hate Ramsey for playing the consultant game...
"If you want to avail yourself of my expertise, pay the

Yes, that is a picture of the academy. So you can take your diploma mill masters degree in police theory and use it to clean something.
Uhm.....isn't every college or university a diploma mill??? These places charge a boat load of $$ just to get a piece of paper with your name on it. Most kids leaving college have almost 100 g's in debt......so to make fun of people taking advantage of tuition reimbursement is foolish. Hoesntly, I have a degree from a big ten school and it's a waste....congrats on those of us who continue their studies......be it at Illinois, UNLV, or cop college.....at least at cop college you'll leave with a degree and no giant loans.
Guys here are talking about Ramsey’s $350 an hour billing. No one is complaining about Rahm’s $1,200 an hour lawyers from DC to handle the Justice Department inquiry. An experienced police executive is too expensive but a DC lawyer costing three times as much is not questioned. Fucked up priorities.
It's Ramsey's if he wants the Supt job, if not, Tina Skahill or Lori Lightfoot.
Seems to me that if they want something different, why hire some "expert" who helped create or at least perpetuate the current environment? Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.

You're joking, right? You're missing the point. This guy is another black eye to CPD. How he got on the job seems to be the real mystery here, Einstein. Exactly what did Skokie do wrong, besides run the plate of a car that looked like it belonged to a police impersonator, very similar to the situation of his earlier arrest by CPD?

OH THAT'S RIGHT you said your guys don't get calls assigned to them.... i'm sure everyone else in that district wished they could work 24 hours a week ( 4 days on and @ 6hrs per day--notice i didn't say 6 hrs per shift BECAUSE THEY( O6) DON'T WORK!! ) Heard that 1400 said goodbye to his troops today, why don't you follow suit. LEAVE ALREADY!!
I believe that college counselors make more money? Just saying...
i wonder if that $350 per hour fee includes the input of that world-class police expert, Barbara McDonald? They were a "team" the last time Chuck was in Chicago. Barbara was responsible for bringing Ron Huberman back to the CPD as her Chief-of-Staff, and for the merit promotion to lieutenant of Jonathan Lewin. Lt. E.V. was also one of her "guys" while she was with CPD. No more needs to be said if you were looking for a little insight into her previous time with CPD.
Welcome home Chuck , start with enforcing uniform , grooming standards .
Are you kidding me....Check this article about these narcotics officers acquitted in Philly. Ramsey judged them before they were acquitted....ha ha ha....he ate crow
http://articles.philly.com/2015-05-16/news/62192693_1_federal-corruption-trial-perry-betts-six-narcotics-officers
$350 an hour....
So if Rahm or one of the Aldermen phones Chuck, CHA-CHING! his meter starts running. If he goes to a Compost meeting does it start when he starts thinking about it?
1/26/2016 06:40:00 AM You are Spot On and I also worked for him!
saxton in the slum times story is a decent character. I believe I even worked with him. f - his car, it probably deterred crime. either way, there is 9000 of us or so, when will it be our turn for the honor of the front page? and this guy had intended no malice....didn't even draw a gun or taser or flashlight....I admit, as much as I can relate with this city being raised here ....etc....I must start on a back up plan.......
As fucked up as this dept. is today, whatever the going rate is is worth it for a man of Ramsey's expertise.
Heaven (and Ramsey) help us all!!!

You must be assigned to the academy. You completely missed the point and tried to argue something that is not even an issue. I do not know how you received your degree being that retarded. No, all schools are not diploma mills. Yes, you can go to s legitimate school and take advantage of tuition reimbursement. And the tuition reimbursement was never argued in the comment.

Yep. He hired an attorney with some VERY questionable ethics, no less, at up to $1200/hr.
And how, exactly, does RAHM hire this firm with zero input or oversight on the hiring??
There was a copper in 11 years ago who ran a towing service. His tow truck was white with police blue stripes and signs that said chicago police towing or something similar. Reality was he was trying to make more money portraying his truck as a police tow. Many people who drive these ex police cars really want others to think that they are the police. Tears Back A Lt. JOE BERRY had his crown vic all equipped. But then again his daddy was big bill berry.
I wouldn't TRUST ANYONE who rides with Rahm or even wants to work with him in ANY WAY
Has rahm not paid his pension respondsabilty yet. It is not due yet. Shut up and know what your talking about
I don't know if Ramsey is the answer or not, but he can't screw this department up worse than McCarthy did. What this department needs IMO is another O.W. Wilson to rebuild this department from the ground up with NO interference from City Hall. Emmanuel being the control freak he is will never agree to that kind of arrangement unless federal investigators recommend or demand it. I don't think this department in it's current state can be repaired or salvaged. It needs to be rebuilt, equipped, trained, and staffed to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
Get over yourselves black people, you nor any of your parents were ever slaves and the only place slavery still exhausts today is in Africa! Control your murdering children and stop blaming the Police for your shortcomings . So if the truth hurts, too bad get over it and fix your sorry asses.
Signed: Tired of all your sorry excuses.
You nailed it, brother.

There was a copper in 11 years ago who ran a towing service. His tow truck was white with police blue stripes and signs that said chicago police towing or something similar. Reality was he was trying to make more money portraying his truck as a police tow. Many people who drive these ex police cars really want others to think that they are the police. Tears Back A Lt. JOE BERRY had his crown vic all equipped. But then again his daddy was big bill berry.

Joe B.?
4400B?
Say what you want about Joe's ride,
he was a rock solid boss and we were
ALWAYS glad to back him up/have him
back us up (ABLA, Horner, Rockwell) especially in ABLA where
you SELDOM saw a supervisor.
You weren't going to see the likes of
T.K., J.M. and others south of 290
and east of Ashland especially on
those hot summer afternoons and nights but boy
would they talk shit at check-off...
Joe couldn't stand spectators disguised as Policemen.
Remember the words of that Legendary Criminalist Prophet Jody Weiss "Gotta Run."
350.00 is misleading.
Is actually $61.00 per hour, plus interest.
(By the time the city pays the bill, it will be $350.00).
When's rahm gotta run?
Hope this guy isn't related Sherm the Germ.
