Yes, Virginia. Area 4 is Re-Opening
A rumor:
- Hey SCC. Any truth to the rumors that 35th street wants to move all Area North Detectives to Harrison and Kedzie, the old Area Four because get this, "this is where the crime is located." These people are unfrickenbelievable. No one thought closing two areas was a good Idea now they want to open Area Four back up but guess what not enough detectives to go around so let's move them from Belmont and Western to Harrison and Kedzie. Pure genius. There are under 300 detectives in Area North currently. Totally understaffed. Hold on boys and girls summer is going to be a wild ride.
And a few hours later:
- Hey Scc. I m sure you heard. Area North Detectives are moving to The old Area Four starting Monday first watch. The entire area will be moved by Jun 1. All to appease the reverends. They think that if we get to scenes quicker that the west side will mysteriously want to cooperate with us. Embarrassing. Almost as bad as closing two areas 5 years ago.
So again, another McCarthny brainstorm blows up in his wake. Does Rahm's distant relative own a moving company or something?

Going to be field office of area north. Harrison & Kedzie personnel will still belong to Area North, but that location will cover the 10th and 11th Districts only.
More dets, more cops, but no will to hire. Because of Chicago pols the department will suffer. But hey, build another park on the lake front, build another hotel, build another sports arena, build another convention center, but spend monies on those who protect the city, naaaa.
How many are going to retire because of thi? This department is so screwed. Detective is fast becoming the worst job in the department.
Last I checked, Area North had under 240 people assigned there including all bosses and people detailed out. Looks like the real taxpayers and good citizens will be the ones waiting for detective service. The catered to constituency wins again! When will the good people of this city have enough and stand up to voice their mind? We are furthering the number of police in neighborhoods that desire none? Ass fucking backwards as usual.
So if all the Area North det.'s move, what, exactly , will they do with Belmont and Western? Just the lockup open? So stupid.
Back room deal! Even Eddie must haggle expect more black officer promoted by merit also. Keep track boys and girl if you don't put in lawsuit to be promoted your odds will drop.
Subject matter experts are a plenty yet you have not seen 1 post listing them all anywhere?
You can connect dots on the famous one like The old states attorneys whiney son or Big Phils 4 month a homicide dick kid.
Now its so bad girlfriend can make it!!! They aint even wives cmon... And Financial Crimes just had bids open and you should see the batch of underachiever in those bids!
Send them back to the AREAs
500 docs to be made within 2 years after the new list comes out for this test
The morons will never admit that closing Area 4 &5 was a mistake. Remember the cost savings we benefited from when they were closed. The units that moved into the old unused spaces because the buildings were never closed. The money that was spent to renovate Areas 1 & 3 so we could move in only to be told there's no room for you guys, go work in the districts. Just another shell game being played by the mayor so that he can go on TV and say he put a couple hundred detectives on the west side to quell the violence.
I'Ve worked in the old Area 1 which covered part of the west side, moved to Area 5 which covered the west side, moved back to Area Central which covered part of the west side, back to Area North which covered the west side, now to Area "West" which I guess covers the "North Side"
Taking police resources away from the taxpayers and giving them to the ghetto. Now there will not be a homicide detective stationed north of Madison Street. It's an absolute disgrace.
I think it's simply very poor planning . The people who run this city must be severely retarded .
So the taxpayers will have to travel to the west side?
Good place to set up loads of cameras - catch all the action!
In their minds moving detectives to where the action is, makes good sense. The move will be complete by the start of summer and really warm weather. Too many murders on the West side and a poor clearance rate.
good start. then open Area 3 and Area5 and were on to something...
Great, just what 011 needs. More coppers in that modern ''state of the art facilities " building. Hey why don't they send over some newer cars and computers from area north too since we have a sh*t pool to choose from.
Excellent idea .
This kind of buffoonery is the reason why I am not taking the Detectives exam! Fuck this city and let the West side burn!!
Does this mean the city will rethink the stupid idea of combining 019 and 023 Districts? Maybe bring back patrol units back to Belmont and Western Police Station? Nah, Rahm can never admit to a mistake!
Hey Deano the mute! No bid process? Guys started putting in their papers yesterday for retirement as soon as they were told.
only the violent crime dicks will be moved
more locker room , away from the bosses
xo from 11 can supervise the dicks
Next bullshit thing to unfuck is eliminate the ridiculous positions of XO and DSS and have a watch commander again.
It reminds one of Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast."
What good did it do closing these buildings if they were still sitting vacant? Really does no good unless you sell the buildings. What do they save by doing this? Electric every month?
No parking for you.
Enjoy your ride to the ghetto every day. Traffic's not that bad. Huh?
Make up your minds. This is like the old pong game.
Well they are listening to the west side reverends.
What about the tax payers up northwest? You know the poor people
paying the major taxes with no police support.
Open area 5, move the gang guys back to Homan.
Let's get back to doing police work.
the residents of Lakeview and Lincoln park better start opening up their mouths and start complaining
Ald.Creatures from the North Side: Pay Attention. You supported in lock-step the raising of taxes, and some of you (Tunney) were promised that you would get more cops for your Wards. Well think about this, especially Moore, You Moran; If someone is shot in Rogers Park, (You even witnessed one of those, remember?) say on Juneway Terrace, and competent beat cops locate witnesses. Do you really think, after it is you explained to the witnesses that they do not have to cooperate, that they are going to go from 024th Dist.station, spend a few hours there, then let you drive them to Harrison and Kedzie, at least 30 minutes away, on Midnights, to spend a few more hours waiting for the Asst. State's Attorney to decide if she/he should approve charges. After he/she illegally runs the Social Security Number of the victim, to determine if we have a "Good Victim"! OH YES, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT REALIZE HOW THE "SYSTEM" WORKS, THE STATE'S ATTORNEY RUNS A FULL BACKGROUND ON THE VICTIM, before deciding what to charge them with. Of course this does not apply to victims of police shooting or violence, those "victims" are presumed completely without sin. Is this "Move" an attempt to reduce crime by discouraging witnesses from the North Side from cooperating, thus reducing crime? Baby"G"
(OT) looks like rahm and crew will have to make required by law police pension payments no more kicking it down road to insolvency:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-rahm-emanuel-pension-bill-story.html
Ok rahm stop the bull shit, no more hundreds of millions wasted on not needed traffic disruption bike lanes, no DePaul stadium, no more building until your bills are paid!!!!
Slow and inadequate computers, smaller work area, no parking, no lockers and putting the area the farthest south they can to make response times to 024 and 016 even worse. Purely a political move with no logic or thought to personnel or citizens other than 011, 015 and 025.
Hire more coppers!!!
Area 5 is empty, open that instead
You guys don't know how pissed off McCarthy and his side kick RobertU i'll resign before they fire me ) Tracey is going to be when they find out that everything they put in place to make the police dept a better place is gone.What next Tracey's comstat personal be reduced from 48 sworn officers to 7..The insanity.......
Dumbest thing ever! There is not enough room! 1/2 of the computers don't work because the server can't handle the amour of computers, the interview rooms are too close together, there is not enough parking! This is all to please the alder creeps and reverends.
Let's fuck over the north side who pay the most taxes. Why not move to area 5? Ugh oh, because that makes sense. F'ing idiots!
Time for a Detectives class to be announced.
Year to Date
Shot & Killed:146
Shot & Wounded:766
Total Shot:912
Total Homicides:166
DO SOMETHING EDDIE!
So who's going to be left at Belmont & Western?
Is this an increase in the decrease?
Sounds like a lot of Dicks from A/3-I mean Area North- are afraid to drive to the west side. Suck it up Sally. Don't let Boo scare you! LOL
Sorry for not feeling sorry about the moves, guys. But you can always relinquish your D2A status, and get back into a beat car in some of the slower districts. I'm sure the commanders of those districts would love to have an experienced investigator filling in those beat cars that sit idle in the parking lots.
Belmont Western is now making room fro George Lucas Museum
anyone north of Madison Ave will now process, follow-up their own scenes; call 311 for their reports while all resources are devoted to south of Madison St-
challenge the constitutionality of this practice of policing

I am really old, as i thought the old area 4 was Maxwell Street.
Minooka police discontinue body camera use
http://www.morrisherald-news.com/2016/04/08/minooka-police-discontinue-body-camera-use/ahb4r5n/
CHIEF: Workload for staff increased too much
Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said Friday the issue was not with the functionality of the cameras, but that it became a burden for staff to fill the many requests for video footage.
Meyer described a hypothetical example of the extra work it created for department staff.
“You could have four officers on a call for a domestic incident,” Meyer said. “If they are on scene for an hour – whether there’s an arrest or not – that’s four hours of video that has to be uploaded.”
Please don't bring back SOS, I need my VRI.
The new Village idiot, Eddie Johnson.
This will be his legacy, not the last but the first in a series of democrat blunders.
When asked, will you support the new SuperIdiot?
Will your moral see an improvement ?
He's going to pander to the folks on Rahms behalf even more and it's not in our favor.
Take that to the blm bank.
Reopening all 5 areas should have been a better plan.
Rahm likes the optics and is praising the "adding" more Detectives to underserved areas.
(Suspending a bullshit ghetto crime from the moon just as easy as from Area1,2 or 3.)
As for Bidding, not an option. They can name the moon Area 3 and that means you weren't re-assigned.
If they call it Area 4, then theres a beef...but slick ass kissers figured that out already.
Come early and reserve a desk with a dirty broken chair.
Lockers, none. Get used to living out of your trunk, no SUV's-they break into them.
Travel time, add 20-30 mins. Door dents and bullets whizzing by are to be expected.
You'll never see another white witness or victim again...they won't drive to Harrison/Kedzie.
More driving back North and then back West means more case backups.
And that keeps joe out of jail. Rev's and PrickWrinkles likes that.
As for the Blue shirts, take the test. Forget about chasing those thugs, guns, and ISRs. No rewards.
As for the Gold stars: News Flash - you're not going anywhere, except maybe down.
The CPD is going the way of the CTA.
Now give me an Event number.
Why not HOMAN "the balck site" square?
But homicides don't generate any revenue and actually cost the city millions.
What is the Clearance rate now? 10%?
And for shootings 7%?
RAHM best get on that contract before Fetal police turn into ABORTED by choice!
DEAN DEAN .... I forget he is disabled and needs lift shoes.
HGS,SVU,Case management,summary,and all supervisors and office staff moving to area 4. Nothing said about RBT dicks. More than likely they stay in the districts.

The Western Avenue overpass is gone.
Watch how fast the valuable land (parking lots) north of the court building get sold.
STUPID move, but the City isn't known for intelligent planning.
so I guess those tax payers who live up north do not get to have a reasonable response time or a safe location to visit detectives to discuss their cases. Now I wonder how many real citizens will be robbed, raped and killed as they travel to Harrison & Kenzie to talk to the dicks.
They can open up all the detective areas again like they used to. Is that so hard?
oh the joys of being led by the college educated.
500 docs to be made within 2 years after the new list comes out for this test

Family practitioners or surgeons?
Stay fucking fetal officers. I see that King Rahm just shot his pick thru the shitty council for the rubber stamp approval as police supe. What a small kingdom this prick mayor has.
Hey, don't forget, Black Votes Count. Sometimes more than once.
This is just more smoke and mirrors to mask the fact that they let the department's manpower dip to such dangerously low levels that the department can no longer function properly. The detective division has been absolutely decimated under Tiny Dancer and McNumbnuts. This is what happens when you don't give a detective exam in almost 12 years and let your D-Unit shrink to numbers unheard of in any big city department. The overtime is ridiculously out of control and every detective out there is completely burned out whether they want to admit it or not. To make matters worse, you now have a D-Unit that is so old that half of what's left could retire tomorrow if they choose to and the rest won't be far behind. Another poster mentioned 500 detectives being promoted off the new exam in the next two years. The department better double that. What a bunch of morons we have running this circus.
Chicago has to lead the country in reversing ideas and the cost it takes to do so. There are countless occurrences where the city/CPD has had to change something they thought was such a great idea only to find out it didn't work FOOLS

you will miss the days of McCarthy and even Jody before this is all over. I don't think the current command staff has an independent thought in their collective heads. McCarthy was an innovator and was know for it. But, some the things that he did were just not PC, such as heavy field contact cards and the progressive establishment did not like it.
Someone post some pics of the new office. I imagine mice, dust, wires everywhere. Copper pipes ripped out, whatever.
Area Central is moving to Maple and State, because that's where the free food and booze is.
Why not take just a few from Area North and a few from Area Central and maybe a few bid spots from other detective bureau spots? I know there's some detectives that wouldn't mind going.
Time for detectivs to start working harder.

Agreed you have the pay the bills due first, don't pay your mortgage goodbye house, rahm don't pay pension he just juices taxpayers ans spends billions more after all its "your money" so him and his crew of 50 take whatever they want! Accountability what accountability? Pay the pension in full rahm, critical mass is happening now and the warmer it gets the lack of respect for police that you personally were involved in from your buddy barry all the way down now its the blood covering your hands! How many police are being ramped up in the hiring process? Have you armed DOA officers at the airports freeing more CPD coppers for street duties? Crickets!
Boy, am I glad to bypass the Detectives test, I'm gonna sleep in instead!
This police department is FUBAR!
Best job on this department these days is a beat car, in a North side District with early checkoff!
FUCK this job!

Tell you what you fucking mental patients, come June Armed Robb. and CSA must be video taped. Open all the Areas again because we need the cameras.

Ok, it's about time the cat gets out of the bag. From a very reliable source comes this blockbuster. No one is happy with the building at 3510 S Michigan. The whole detective division and Holman square will be relocated to work out of that building. All of the detective areas South, Central and Nirth will be out of that building. Holman Square will be closed (black site) and all of those units will be put in at 3510.
The fire dept will be separated from the police again and relocated elsewhere. A site yet to be decided.
The current police Academy and Whitney Young Academy will be raised and a new police high rise will be built with a multilevel parking garage where Whitney Young school is now with a bridge connecting it to the new headquarters.
The police training academy will be relocated to one of the vacant school buildings around the city a location also yet to be determined.
Rahm gets to hire all kind of new construction expletive and has lots of building to rename after his benefactors and fellow pols like OBama and Little Richie.
Does this mean that the "Albany Inn" will be open again?
Wait until the mass retirements of po's taking the 55 and health care, good luck suckas!
I put money on that they do not do their famous christmas tree with the photos.c
That it close the area were people actually pay taxes and not collect welfare

To the people complaining about clearance rates: Do you really think more dicks or this manpower shuffling will close more cases? Have you worked the street? Have you not dealt with some of our gangbanging, drug-dealing, "Fuck the police, no snitching" kind of assholes? Their uncooperative and ignorant ways along with compulsive lying is the reason for low clearance rates.

Except you left out the part where at least one supervisor went to jail. A few more were forced to retire. And even more were dumped before J-Fled could charge them with theft. The shame of it is not a one of them ever learned anything from JF.
Why not open back the lockup in 023 and put people in 012 lockup .

HOMAN square. The building is on HOMAN Avenue.
And it should be interesting to see them raise Whitney Young. How high will they lift it? Will they put something under it and ease it down gently?
What good did it do closing these buildings if they were still sitting vacant? Really does no good unless you sell the buildings. What do they save by doing this? Electric every month?
Are you really that stupid the building never closed they just dont have roll call there everything else for 019 goes on there

McCarthy was in innovator???? What original thought came out of his head? He was like a broken record, we need more contact cards. We need to stop the right people. Get the guns off the streets. The man was an egomaniac and a bully
