R.I.P Police Work
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel, under fire for months over how the city investigates excessive force allegations against Chicago police, plans to propose abolishing the city's beleaguered Independent Police Review Authority.
The city would replace the agency — known for sluggish investigations that rarely led to discipline — with a civilian agency "that has more independence and more resources to do its work," Emanuel wrote in an essay released Friday. The essay offered few specifics about the new agency, though the mayor wrote that the details will be worked out in the coming weeks and presented at a City Council meeting June 22.
- In an op-ed piece that’s expected to appear in Sunday’s Sun-Times, the mayor says the city would replace the agency with a civilian agency that has more independence and more resources to do its work.
There are assorted legal and procedural hurdles to overcome. As we understand it, police shootings are required by state law to be investigated by sworn law enforcement. Then there's the training, or lack of, that the "community" has, the conflicts of interest, the chain-of-command, the legal protections afforded police, the list goes on.
It needs to be said again, but anyone doing more than the barest minimum nowadays is looking for a world of hurt.

Keep on doing the extra hard charging work. Just do your job and that's it. If this doesn't open your eyes I don't know what will.
Another patronage army in the making. I see a lot of sustained investigations being overturned later under arbitration.
So true SCC
These idiots engaging in foot chases over nonsense don't think anything will happen to them. Unfortunately when it does and only when it does will they understand but unfortunately it will be too late.
And they will think back to all the veterans telling them it's not worth it to slow down or by reading it here will they remember and think to them selves " I wish I would have listened"
To all the "Go Getters" out there please let them do what they want. The city doesn't want u stopping anyone and now a new civilian board lol these people will not be happy unless you are fired or put in jail. They will not accept any less of a punishment.
You have been warned!
So Sergeants would be cut out of the loop totally right RAHM?
Think about it if WE the guys with guns are all corrupt what makes you think an overworked Sergeants who will never be able to have a fair chance of being promoted will even start an investigation.
So my clownish media readers that means this new and all knowing outside agency would need to take all complaints from the start of the investigation to the end.
I know light-foot acted like her crack investigators with a 4 year degrees in criminal justice are the top of the game in investigations. But ask yourself how come these great investigators couldn't even pass the jail-gaurd test.
So good luck tiny dancer another smoke and mirror CON JOB like the one you pulled on the west side Alderman telling them Detectives were going back to Harrison and Kedzie.
In addition to being sworn in as investigators, members of the new civilian review board will each be issued a 'Magic 8 Ball' to assist them in answering the hard questions.
Any bets on how much of Rahm's thumb they're under?
Get out now before it's too late. Get back into school and leave this dead end job.
Thank you for saying that SCC. Police work as we once knew it is now over. Unless you are responding to a 10-1, Police Work Is Over!!
But wasn't ipra a civilian entity suppose to be investigating from the outside in? It sounds like the new group is going to be the same as ipra. New name tag on the same ol box of shit.
Good Lord. Can you imagine the politics in naming a civilian board. What a fucking joke. why not just hand out a blank check at every police shooting...or any public contact for that matter. Looks like all Rahm and the revruns need you to do is produce income for the city. Dont bring in any income...see if that gets anyones attention.
Civilian Board with sage members like Fr Faker and his ghetto rats. Think any City Council members will have the courage to stand up against this? Maybe 41 Ward Ald. Napolitano - but that's about it. The Board should be a non paid position - that will keep some of the rats away.
The day that proactive policing died. What the hell is an ISR? Sounds like a waste of time.
Every time we say "that's it, THIS is the end of police work...."
Just give it a few weeks and they'll figure out an even dumber way to put a foot on our neck.
Each idea they come up with is worse than the last one.
Sure, because 9 murders and 43 people shot in one weekend isn't enough. Let's hand over all investigations into the police to a bunch of untrained mouthbreathers with an agenda and an axe to grind. THAT will surely make things better.
I'm no longer a Chicago resident (thank God) but it is kind of awful to see you call for the force to do the bare minimum.
You are NOT hired for your union and pension concerns....you are the heroes we count on to make peace and arrest the bad guys.
Sometimes I think you need to be reminded of that.
So Now the Weasel Sissy Ballerina is going to pick What " All Black people for this too. That way he thinks he can keep his job come Election Time , and they'll all raise there LEFT HAND too I guess , to be sworn in ( LMAO this shit is Unbelievable )it gets better and better by the Day. Definitely Time to leave the Department
More smoke and mirrors, isn't Lorri Lewis his right hand girl in charge.
The average police officer and detective have no resources. Mayor is a joke......
Rahm caused it, he drew first cover up to get reelected. Rahm caused this fire storm by not taking some action and having the transperity he is always speaking of. Rahm is the master of propaganda. Fast Eddie (special ed) is a yes man. He is spoutting the same goofy stuff of the past two soups.....
Eeeeesh good luck kids..... Stay fetal
Rahm Emanuel, the one man plague, brought all of this on by withholding that video for his own personal gain. Now he has to pander and cast blame elsewhere. Crime is already cascading. With civilian review ("reverends", socialists-communists, political action groups & patronage) the dam will break. Crime will be triumphant, taxes will go up, more people will flee and the property values and pensions will tank.
Some people have so much hate for the police. IAD has been around for a while disciplining officers and it was not enough for the "public." Remember OPS, the previous incarnation of what is now IPRA? They have been killing police work for the last 20+ years. Nothing is good enough for police haters. When and where will it end. The media continually talk about all the complaints against the police and the small number of sustained complaints. The reality is that the overwhelming majority of complaints are truly nor worth the paper on which they are written and are rightly classified accordingly.
Rahm will be seen by historians as the worst mayor and the one who finally destroyed the last hope the city had at revitalization. We lost a million residents from 1960 to present. The downtown are can not sustain the rest of the city going to shit.
All I can say is I didn't vote for this @$$
No city or town can keep their citizens and have this much violence and crime.
I know a lot of Police Officers who have been victims of theft, burglaries, criminal damage to property and other crimes. We are not except from crimes, we are part of the population. Most Police Officers I know want to leave this city because of the level that crime has reached. Who in their right mind would want their families victimized or their friends.
As soon as I retire I'm going to a extremely low crime area. The worst thing for anyone in law enforcement is to survive your tour only to be killed or permanently injured in retirement.
I wish all here a safe tour of duty, long life and a happy retirement.
its been done. for a couple years now. doesnt matter cause rock bottom is here
The purpose of abolishing IPRA by this jack-off mayor is to punish police officers for doing their jobs and for him to retain support in the "community" in roder to get re-elected. He is too stupid to understand that once the police are no longer pro-active it will give the jag-off criminal element free reign in this city. If jag-off Rham thinks he has a crime problem now just wait and see what happens when this debacle gets instituted. Michigan ave businesses along with many others will be folding up shop and leaving once these roaming gangs of "future doctors and lawyers" start wilding. As for the young aggressive police officer on this job who still believes in "fighting crime" I hope you have another line of work set up to support you wife and kids once this civilian police fuck squad starts suspending and firing officers for complete bullshit allegations. Like I have stated before once this jeanie is let out of the bottle good luck trying to put it back in. This is going to truly come back to bite this stupid asshole mayor right in the ass. I can't wait to see what this summer will bring. 9 and 1/2 fingers has just fucked himself.
What this city needs is an oversight committee run by the taxpayers and civilians to sit in on Rahms meetings and monitor his spending on each and every new project. We need transparency in Rahms office, and every political office including the alderman. There has already been to many scandals, Barbara Bird, Bennett and the red light camera project just to name a few. All this money and the claims of needing to raise taxes, where is all this money going? We need to set up a committee of civilians to watch over the politicians, it's our money anyway.
Article in the Virgina Beach Legal Examiner 14 May 16: Medical Errors 3rd Leading Cause of Deaths in US-700 Deaths a Day. So where are the CIVILIAN COMMUNITY REVIEW BOARDS to look into this? How many people of color are they killing? Where is the community and political outrage? They are killing more people than police departments! So why does CPD need a civilian review board? In Illinois physicians, nurses, barbers, nail technicians, bankers, veterinarian and many more are governed by the Ill. Dept. of Professional Regulation. For judges the Judicial Inquiry Board for lawyers the Attorney Registration & Discip linary Board. All of these boards handle complaints and the disciplinary proceedures. And guess who sits on the boards. What ever the board is members of that profession sit on the board. So for attorneys, you have attorneys. Doctors you have doctors. Even barbers have barbers. So why should the police have citizens who know nothing about the job review & decide their fate?
So he is going to replace the current civilian agency with a new civilian agency? Oh, I get it now. Pfft.
Who is going to handle Police shootings now? This city is a real joke and a danger to every Officer working in the streets! Stay Fetal people!
Let it be said that there will be idiots who feel the need to be the macho police and will continue to be pro active and look for help when they fail to use their common sense. Pro active policing is dead STAY FETAL. To the mayor's detail how does it feel protecting a person who hates your guts?
After the bag-pippers signal the end of policing, maybe we can find a group of officers who can lone up in front of city hall and play the fiddle for a while (though I'm not sure Rahm would get the reference).
Which REvrun going to be the "Chiefest?"
Rahm will make sure that due process for the police is shattered. He'll put civilians on the board who hate the police and who will destroy the department. If this continues the ranks will be depleted with retirements and no one will take this job anymore. Crime is at an all time high now and can't be stopped, but the police are the problem. Totally unreal.
Rahm is getting crazier than Tom Dart.
Isn't IPRA a civilian board now?
Can someone explain how will the civilians be chosen? Will they be chosen from each section of the city?
All I got from this article was "Stay fetal, my friends."
Peace out, homies. It's was a fun ride while it lasted.
Might as well take our guns away.... Who needs 'em?
Actually your wording is a little off with Poloce shootings. Police shootings can be investigated by anyone who completed LEAD Homicide training, not just sworn Law Enforcmenet. That's why the State wrote the law like that so that civilians can investigate them. Think about it, cmo experience at all, compete a one week course, and now your food to go to investigate Police shootings. Embarrassing, and dangerous.
If you want to see what this new investigative agency looks like, just read the proposed ordinance. Don't forget the people driving this still think that the police officer from Fergusan should have been prosecuted for murder.
You'll still have jagoff bosses like kulbida demanding activity
It appears Tiny Dancer wants ya'll to quit. At least anyone with at least half a brain should be thinking exit strategy. This is turning into a cluster fu*k.
What about all those cops that just got stripped by IPRA? Since IPRA was obviously bad and incompetent, will those guys get their stars back?
Wasn't IPRA created for the same reason?
They will just rehire the same people from IPRA and call it a new name. We have so many Department rules, union rules, and laws that require years of on job experience to understand that any civilians would be incapable of learning in any short period of time.
So what happens to all the IPRA employees? Fire them with no due cause? Or re-hire them and pretend they are brand new?
So what does this mean for officers that have already been at call back for years? They have to wait years longer for this new entity to get up and running to finally get their cases resolved. This is not right. There's got to be some kind of time limit on how long they can drag out an investigation. Some have been there literally for years with absolutely no news on how their case is going. Just sitting there wondering if they'll be suspended, fired, etc. What a f'd up system this is.
Police shootings DO NOT have to be investigated by sworn law enforcement - that's how IPRA wound up being our investigating agency. State law allowed it.
And this latest iteration of "civilian" oversight will be very NYPD-like.
STF up and do your ISRs like good cops. Do not question your bosses who cheated on exams who are telling you "Back when I was a P.O. I used to ...." Uh, no you didn't. You want the ISRs then put your old blue shirt back on and make some TS.
Kinda like Local School Council full of shitheads making decisions and getting of on power. What a mess!
Gangbangers on the Civilian Board! "Youse gulty cuz I sad so MoFO!!!"
Third world PO mob lynchings to be held at The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
Coppers are not understanding that by chasing a perp for whatever reason or initiating any type of proactive police work that they are putting themselves in harms way STOP DOING SHIT!!!!! No one has our backs even the fucking judges have turned against us I just don't fucking get it yes I understand I loved the job too but policing is done its fucking done!!!!! It's all about staying safe coming home to your family the 1st & the 16th! No matter what you do you can be in the right & U will still be scrutinized. Their are cameras everywhere & cameras don't show or tell the whole story nor show the officers point of view THEY WILL FUCKING HANG YOU!!!!
Now we are going to have street corner thugs and more anti-police making the call to appease the black lies matter crew, so rahm can stay mayor! Don't forget whatever you do now can be reopened and you will be investigated and charged, maybe he will put some gangster leaders in charge SCC great topic but very sad outcome!
Wasn't ipra a civilian organization? What will change?
City Counsel has 2 new ordinances. FAIR COP and Independent Citizen Police Review Monitor both have been in the works for awhile. Both are big time bad news,
Richard Crenna. RIP. Police work. RIP.
There're going to load the new agency with a bunch of assata's daughters and the investigations are going to be as independent and legit as pro wrestling.
Like IPRA we will be judged by people who were never the police, who never put on the belt and vest, and who have no idea what policing is yet somehow are qualified to sit in judgement of us. Moreover, these people will be making policy and telling us how to be the police and do our jobs. Retirement can't come soon enough. This department and city are headed right down the toilet.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor???
And this will solve,,,,,,,,,,, nothin.
SCC , your last paragraph is spot on. These civilians have one goal and that is to hurt the police financial and more than likely they will try to put police officers in jail. The best thing we as the police can do from this point on is the bare minimum required. If you want to chase bad guys on foot or in a car and the bad guy puts you in a spot where you have to defend yourself ,expect to lose a lot of money defending yourself in court and possibly spending time in jail. Fuck these asshole gangbangers and drug dealers. No one cares , so why should you. Stay safe and stay fetal.
Dear Mr. Mayor,
No matter what you do you are not going to win reelection.
In-car cameras, ISRs (ACLU), body cams, body mics, de-escalation, civilian police review board, DOJ, blah, blah, blah.
You have given me the tools and means by which I can now articulate why I did not take police action. Thank you.
To the new civilian police review board, welcome aboard whomever you are.
After you get ride of those hard headed coppers who just didn't get it and that should only take one or two, you will still get paid on the 1st and 16th of every month. Word of advice though, make sure you get yourself a bullet proof vest and move your family out of Chicago like everyone else. Summer is almost upon us.
Finally, to our abundant, overpaid, useless aldermen and local prostitutes (politicians). I remember hearing back in January 600 homicides for the year and thought that was far fetched. Now, that number not only looks obtainable but looks like it will be easily surpassed.
Great job, you douchebags!
More hero off-duty stuff in the news again. Risk yourself for nonsense?
SCC you are dead wrong on police work being dead.
We still have dopes in my district (I work in 015) who are aggressively stopping people, engaging in aggressive policing, getting into foot chases and vehicle pursuits.
This may sound treasonous to some but I will say it. I will not support a police officer with a benefit ticket if they get into trouble. Call me an asshole but that is how I feel. If you are too stupid to see the handwriting on the wall then you are really stupid. Is your ego so big that you are willing to place your family's financial well being and your personal freedom on the line for a city and nation that has decided to go to war against it's law enforcement officers? I GUESS SO.
In my former district we had a coworker who was a hard charger. Well he got into trouble and was sent to call back and nearly lost his job. When they cleared him, he came back on the job and on his first day was back to his old self. He made a dope pinch, a foot pursuit arrest for a warrant and then a trr/arrest from a street stop. All on his first day back. All I can say is you can't fix stupid. For some officers their ego means more to them than their family or their freedom.
P.S.- I will buy a benefit ticket if your kid has cancer but never for you hard charger. Keep up the good work.
Everyone in tact should go back to patrol what's the point. Why go the extra step if gangbangers are on the corner oh well it's what the community wants since they never call. Why be proactive only reactive you want a report sure, you want him or her arrested sure sign this complaint if not have a nice day.
The bosses all know that this will be a disaster and will result in a much higher crime rate, but they either don't care or don't have the balls to speak up. Notice to all taxpayers in Chicago: Due to the current political climate created by the Obama administration, your police department is unable to provide effective police service. Officers are worried about going to jail, having their reputations/lives ruined by purposefully biased media (propaganda) organizations, and losing their jobs. Fix the problem or move to a different city, because Chicago will soon look like Detroit unless the police are afforded reasonable protections.
say it ain't so SCC! But of course it is! Between Eddie opening up old cleared videos of CPD in action,sitting with the gold star club eating popcorn rolling it on the big screen,then striping coppers after "review." Then we will have the civilians who may be gang bangers who has their crew complain on coppers, where they will react and do their best to fire working coppers so the drug dealing and bloody carnage will continue! Why are coppers chasing in the ghettos, who cares? Even the Fox news national news is talking about how bloody Chicago is, and how he references the FBI director and how police are being called racists in Chicago, but he properly puts the blame on elected bruce&rahm team, not a bad story but don't agree with all but like the national guard part that would be nice, they enforce federal law which is not as liberal lax as ours:

Rahm is a pandering son of a bitch.
Having a "community" based oversight group is a very bad idea.
Rahm's reasoning is to give oversight to the groups who's lives are affected by the police on a daily basis( aka the ghetto)
Stats bear out the fact that a disproportionate amount of crime is generated by the ghetto.... hence that's why they see a lot of police activity.
So what's Rahm's solution? Put the ghetto in an oversight position over the police.
Brings to mind putting the fox in charge of the henhouse... what could possibly go wrong??
Fuck you Rahm.
Stay extremely fetal my friends.
Law enforcement in this city is dome, stick a fork into it. Thank Rahm for you failed leadership.
The level of disrespect shown by Rahm towards the CPD is absolutely disgusting.
All in the name of pandering and attempting to redirect political heat from him to us.
I am so done with this department and this city. I cannot wait to get out.
I'm one of many officers who's maxed out but not yet 55.
Rahm: How about lowering the age of the healthcare pickup to 52 or 53 instead of 55?
You'd get lot's of officers like my self off the books and you can hire 1.5 new officers in our place.
You may even find some newbies naive enough to drink your kool aide.
Slightly off topic:
I kept hearing rumors of upcoming exempt changes to be announced Friday( yesterday).
So far I haven't heard anything more.
Truth or same old rumors?
Only fools rush in.
The CB # is dead.
The bagpipes comment above , was spot on . Why not have our useless Fop set up a full.dress mock funeral of hundreds of coppers walking down by city hall , blocking the street. When people ask who died , we can sadly explain , Police work in Chicago
+++++ '...creating a Community Safety Oversight Board designed to give residents a role in overseeing law enforcement. ~~~snip~~~ The panel's recommendation for ... a new Civilian Police Investigative Agency with broader investigative powers. The panel suggested that the agency's head would be selected by the Community Safety Oversight Board ...' +++++
Holy crap. The inmates really will be running the asylum.
So you can forget Detroit, and forget Chiraq. It's Mogadishu here we come baby!! So get ready to Rock and Roll, it'll be non-stop party time for Gangbangers and career criminals.

The common and repeated theme/meme:
"If only the Cops didn't have ALL of those
pesky contractual and legal protections in
place... Those same contractual and legal
protections are preventing US from REALLY
being able to enact REAL Police REFORMS.
This is why THE COMMUNITY demands a
seat at the table when the Police negotiate
their contract.
Nothing but vengeful head-taking by
"Tha Communerty" as sanctioned by
Rahm who gives no fucks. As long as
HIS narrow Rumplestiltskin ass is
shielded from the righteous flames of
public ire and justifiable scrutiny for
suppressing the McDonald video to
protect his re-election campaign from
justifiable blow-back from the simple
minded dupes he depended on to be
elected in the first place.
"That Rahm who worked for Obama
is running for mayor? Sheeeeeeit!
We gonna vote for HIM!"
See?
Simple...
It's telling and frightening.
The collective we, risked EVERYTHING
for one third to one half of our lives working
a thankless, nasty, shit-doo-doo job in a mean,
evil and hateful city for the nasty, shit-doo-doo
people who are cheering and applauding how
hard it's being "taken to" The Police and
Policing in this town.
...Forever and always reference Rahm's snarky,
provocative and shitty-assed quote regarding
"sticking it in the Cops ear," as he was prancing
and twirling across the tarmac after jumping
off that private charter from D.C.
Was this his game all along?
Stealing from Public Safety to further enrich
the usual names in the Gold Coast/North Shore
and corporate sponsored municipal governance
and phony charity "Rolodex of Evil?"
"Who the fuck do those Cops think they are?
They take up half the city budget but they're
not generating any income!"
Bean-Counters, Whiz-Kids and Gurus

It's kinda thin up yonder so they tend
to think funny about stuff happening
here at ground level.
Don't worry...
We didn't forget you Clouted Birth-Righters,
Phony Clergy, parasitical members of

toothless whores of local media.
Oh well.
Rahm's timing couldn't have been
better. He's just in time for
"Summer Shit-Show 2016."
It's an excuse to reopen closed investigations under a whole new agency name and call it legit.

They will just rehire the same people from IPRA and call it a new name. We have so many Department rules, union rules, and laws that require years of on job experience to understand that any civilians would be incapable of learning in any short period of time.
5/14/2016 07:53:00 AM
My two cents, for what it is worth. If you dissolve an agency or company or even a branch of government, that is the end of all employment contracts, all union agreements ( unless the union contract specifically covers this). This is common in private sector industry. But, do you really think this will happen to everyone? Many have political clout but the time and energy it would take to retrain many people will prohibit mass firings. But, if IPRA is dissolved then everyone starts from scratch, they are all new employees of the new agency subject to new work rules, new pay and benefits, new titles, etc. You can't move them to Streets and Sanitation or to the fire department. They are done. You will see community members ( what ever that is) on the management team of this new agency. As I and many others have said, if you do anything but the basics until this entire thing shakes out you are a damn fool with your job and your family. The progressives are in charge now and they are out to get you because you are brutal, racist, mean and uncaring about minorities and you are responsible for ruining an entire generation of black men who are in prison for doing nothing. And, you are a danger to black men as you kill them on a regular basis. That is the narrative and I really don't know how many are buying into it. No one in charge right now is on your side and that includes Preckwinkle, Emanual, Eddie Johnson and Kim Foxx and the media. Not to forget the criminal elements in this town which are having a field day on your and the good citizens expense.

I absolutely agree with this great idea.
Rahm's all about transparency so I'm sure he'd have no problem with this.
Rahm and the alder thieves would cry like little bitches if anything like this idea ever gained serious traction.
They want transparency for everyone but theirselves.
As soon as I retire I'm going to a extremely low crime area. The worst thing for anyone in law enforcement is to survive your tour only to be killed or permanently injured in retirement.
I wish all here a safe tour of duty, long life and a happy retirement.
5/14/2016 02:50:00 AM
Good luck in finding an extremely low crime area. Just look at the statistics from around the country, rural areas, other cities big and small. Crime is up everywhere, drug use up everywhere. Chicago has a lot of violent crime but if you look at your chances of being a victim, it is far greater in most cities of the US
Civilian review accountability program
AKA
C.R.A.P.
The inmates are running the asylum
Rahm has really been making me angry, catering to the non-contributing parts of society at the hard working, honorable citizens expense. Rahm is just buying time here, we all know a backroom deal was made between the Clintons and Rahm. Periwinkle was even cut in on the deal when she agreed to drop her sure-win campaign for mayor. When Hillary wins the White House, Rahm will be tapped for a Cabinet position that was promised by Bill. Rahm then walks away from the mess he created in Chicago, and heads to D.C and the National spotlight. All the problems that he caused here will be buried by the media, and Rahm will begin working on his future in national politics. Chicago was all about padding his resume, the mess he created here will never see the light of day when he enters national politics. There is one way to crush Rahm's future for good, and obviously the way is to prevent Hillary from becoming President. Rahm's plan would implode, he would lose the next Chicago Mayoral Election, then move to Cali to become his brother's lackey. Love or hate Trump, he is the way to guarantee Rahm has no future. It would be a spectacular crash and burn.
Respond to your calls, rush to the 10-1's....and otherwise just stay fetal.
This is a distraction from the Department of Justice that will report we didn't have enough police or supervision. Lack of supervision, who knew that would be a problem? That falls right at Rahm's feet. He failed to hire and promote. He failed to maintain the Department he was given. Rahm is a horrible manager.
This new civilian board replaces the old....civilian board. Yep, that'll solve everything.

shit?
Throw in that he's probably on a life long prescription

it's no wonder his behavior can be politely described

Wake me when it's over...
But Dean Sr. PhD is...
1. Pro body camera.....per 5 FOP meetings and at least 6 newspaper articles
2. Pro ISR because as stated at the FOP meeting he did NOT make a statement against it to the state when being voted upon.
3. Pro accepting Disability and FOP president salary.
"Emanuel wrote in an essay released Friday. The essay offered few specifics about the new agency, though the mayor wrote that the details will be worked out in the coming weeks and presented at a City Council meeting June 22."
An essay? Does the Tribune think Rahm is back at Sarah Lawrence in a Lit. class. Based on their description of the essay, Rahm wouldn't pass since he offered no details on the next bureaucratic contraption he plans to construct.
Off topic, but only slightly: Rahm Emanuel has appointed a deputy mayor! He created the $185k position for senatorial candidate flunky Andrea Zopp. She will also be the Chief Neighborhood Development Officer. Much like the newly created position of Chief Resilience Officer, just the thing we don't need! Also, aren't government positions supposed to be elected and not appointed?
Off topic: Kudos to Sgt "Mutt" Muth from 009 on his transfer to Central Inv. A long time deserving. Stay safe my friend.
(From: Your old team, 008)
Ra-ham, spelling intentional.. He is a very desperate little man right now and desperate men do desperate things. He's attacking the police because he thinks it's what the community wants.. And the do want that. But because he's so desperate for his votes he doesn't realize it's a double edged sword. end results if he's lucky he gets the votes but the city burns! Be safe out there officers.
Sounds like an even worse alternative to what we have now -- blatant politico-racial demonstrations, with IPRA "investigators" showing up at scenes wearing "Black Lives Matter" backpacks.
"...police shootings are required by state law to be investigated by sworn law enforcement." Don't see any "For Us, By Us" provision there that would allow everyone to come down off the porches and join in.
"Nothing is good enough for police haters."

You will never be able to satisfy the insatiable.
Relax everyone. If anything this will be even better because a civilian board just beans a private law firm. At least when lawyers investigate this stuff they will be able to see both side of this stuff and if you ask me nothing will change because the complaints were bs before and they will still be bs. People mysteriously think that booboo from the street is all of a sudden going to be hand eking complaints. Not true, a law firm will be hired to go over the complaints and if they are found to be sustained they will recommend the findings and disciple to the department or if warranted send to the states attorney. So pretty much nothing changes, ops, ipra would do the same exact thing. Guys, this once again is smoke and mirrors except will be an outside (clouted and connected no doubt) law firm. We won't be the first department to be doing this. So it's not the end of the world, at least these people will be professional as compared to some of the haters at ipra.
Rahm is the equivalent of the Captain of the Titanic (aka, the future of Chicago)....iceberg, what iceberg?....move the deck chairs around, promote this person, eliminate IPRA, etc., etc.....can I stand on a small chair so I can look at other folks?......hey!, at least we'll have ice for our drinks!
You'll still have jagoff bosses like kulbida demanding activity
Don't expect his 007 district as kissers that came with. They only have to work half a tour. Right BF
So basically they're changing its name and bringing in new people.
Pretttty crafty.

Article in the Virgina Beach Legal Examiner 14 May 16: Medical Errors 3rd Leading Cause of Deaths in US-700 Deaths a Day. So where are the CIVILIAN COMMUNITY REVIEW BOARDS to look into this? How many people of color are they killing? Where is the community and political outrage? They are killing more people than police departments! So why does CPD need a civilian review board? In Illinois physicians, nurses, barbers, nail technicians, bankers, veterinarian and many more are governed by the Ill. Dept. of Professional Regulation. For judges the Judicial Inquiry Board for lawyers the Attorney Registration & Discip linary Board. All of these boards handle complaints and the disciplinary proceedures. And guess who sits on the boards. What ever the board is members of that profession sit on the board. So for attorneys, you have attorneys. Doctors you have doctors. Even barbers have barbers. So why should the police have citizens who know nothing about the job review & decide their fate?
5/14/2016 03:23:00 AM
I have been thinking about the above topic for a couple of days. No one is crying for doctors to be prosecuted and/or fired for every mistake they make. The insurance pays when they get caught, nothing happens to them when the mistakes go unnoticed. Doctors kill a lot more people than cops do.
So, it's already a given that this new civilian authority will be activist controlled. What I'm wondering is how long it will take the gangs to put in people they control in order to bounce cops they don't like. I have zero experience in law enforcement, but I don't need that to know this will be an utter fucking disaster.
The Machine sucks, but it held back the community for 75 years. Unfortunately, the it is collapsing, and Preckwinkle will fill the void. I'm out of here as soon as I get the opportunity, I'd recommend those of you who can follow suit.
The new agency replacing IPRA will report to a civilian boss, newly-retired Chief Gene Williams. As always, honesty and transparency will be paramount in his organization.

There is no worthwhile reeasonable return on the risk incurred.

What I don't understand, why do I constantly see police officers shaking this mans hand and joking and smiling with this guy. I am not talking about any type of graduation ceremony either, I am talking about, when this joker comes to the districts. Don't you get it, he is using you for a photo op nothing more. Stand for yourself and refuse to shake this guys hand. I would love to see his face! I would do it but have never had the opportunity.

Are you fucking serious? Our pension and union protection is a complete concern. After spending nearly thirty years of having people trample over our rights, we'd like to know that we will receive what we paid into and were promised. The only thing we are reminded of is that the BLM, reverends, politicians and ACLU want us to give their freeloading and catered-to constituency free reign. Blame them not us asshole.

You don't get it at all. How many people do you know that have been suspended, fired, tried in a criminal court or even convicted for being proactive, taking initiative, giving it that extra step or in some cases following the department policy and supervisor's instructions to a "t"? This is one career field where you can do exactly as you were taught and trained and still be sued and/or convicted because civilians do not agree with how the state trained you. This is one job where above and beyond can actually get you in more trouble and still may have no effect on your advancement. It's not about if what you did was right or wrong, it's about how the department and the public views what you did...even if it was right. Don't believe me?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-englewood-triple-domestic-homicide-20160512-story.html
Then why does the family of a TRIPLE HOMICIDE OFFENDER feel comfortable blaming the police for stopping his "peaceful surrender"? Never mind the reports of a self-inflicted gunshot. If you can do the job so much better, take the test and show us how to do it.
So Rahm is going to hire an all civilian board? Good luck, what will the qualifications be of these civilians? They better have nothing less than a Bachelors when it comes to education. They better be equal across the board when it concerns race. They better be able to put two sentences together that is articulable and excludes words such as "finna" anything that shouldn't be plural such as "Jewels" as in the grocery store, and had better not talk with a "hick" accent from the south! They also better have a fucking open mind and none of this close minded shit we have seen from all "those people" who seem to be judging the police and have no idea how our job really is!

Nothing he can do, absolutely nothing, if you work then he can attack you, just answer your calls (no hurry), write paper, arrest only on signed complaints, to do the job following exact rules are easy bosses like bubble head never learned "you have to know the rules before you enforce the rules it makes it more fun."
Mayor is so full of shit that every time he talks more and more shit comes out!!!
There is some (surprising) TV drama depicting criminal, racial realities, police relations in Chicago:
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/karen-townsend/2016/05/12/nbcs-chicago-pd-flips-phony-narrative-black-lives-matter
NBC's Chicago PD has an episode that depicts BlackLiesMatter anti police mobs to be what we know they are to be.
Crazy as it may seem but this is actually a very good idea!! The police should stage a full honors funeral with all the bells and whistles for police work itself. That would certainly grab the attention of those who are in denial nationwide.
OT but here is an interesting article from Washington DC about violent repeat offenders being let out of jail numerous times and committing more violent crimes. I guess some cities still have reporters who manage to actually investigate things and not just mindlessly print what the politicians feed them. If Chicago actually had reporters in their newspapers, do you think they could find an example or two or 100 that fit this story in Cook County?

Yeah well, we took the job knowing that we might get stabbed, shot, maimed or injured which can result in death or being generally hurt while performing our duties. We all accept that regardless of what state our pensions are in or what we get paid. That's the job. What we will not accept is getting sued or going to prison for incurring the risks that come along with simply doing our job. That is extremely disrespectful and unacceptable to us. We put our lives on the line at work. And We don't ask or expect even a small 'thank you' for that. But the least our leaders or the public can do is not intentionally put us in harms way legally for just doing our jobs. So excuse me if i don't give a rats ass what the publics perception of what they think is our "heroic duty" to society. No amount of 'medals' of valor or service are worth losing your income, home, family and going to jail. I'm sorry...
Go getters: 06, teams, and units, READ the writing on the wall or you will pay with your jobs and maybe jail time. Stop promoting supervisors with pimpy arrests and creating reckless opportunities. This is not a video game. It's soo ridiculous when 06 teams think are made up of 2 year wonders and have no clue what a notification is. Keep drinking the cool aid.
who picks this civilian board, Do all the neighborhoods have a say so?
5/14/2016 11:18:00 AM If you think the crime rate in this city is acceptable or want to play the chance game, go ahead and roll the dice. Crime is not up everywhere and the FBI claims there was almost a 2% decrease in violent crime in the US for 2015. Violent crime is what we pay attention to as it is what concerns most people. There are plenty of suburbs around here where violent crime is extremely low and I will roll the dice there. Face it, Chicago is full of very violent and predatory people in many neighborhoods. That along with the failure of the City leadership and institutions has erroded the population of a couple of hundred thousand taxpaying people over the past 45 years and what makes this state number one in people moving away vs. the number moving here by approximately 10,000 in 2015. We my friend live in a failing state and there is one group of politicians responsible for it. Your Cook County Democratic Party.
Rahm actually makes Richie Daley look good.

It's an excuse to reopen closed investigations under a whole new agency name and call it legit.
5/14/2016 11:10:00 AM
There is, in reality, no statue of limitations on employment investigations/charges. But, the five year destruction of files in the FOP contract might prevent the city from doing anything to people for cases older then five years. The department can and has reopened investigations and probably is in the process of doing this right now. The BGA and various groups want an end to destruction of discipline investigation files and they want everything released to the public. If they get their way, police officers will be the only class of citizens in the country to have their personnel files released to the public. The alderman want transparency for everyone but themselves. I think the FOP should start a citywide campaign not only for investigations of alderman but a reduction in alderman, starting with Eddie Burke who is no friend of the police.

I think that you are correct, but that is why the progressive cop haters want to gut the union contracts of the police if not by negotiation then by changes in state law. Of course, the police union is the only union they want destroyed. No word about the other unions which give the law makers millions in cash.
No discipline from IPRA....maybe there was no need for discipline because there was no wrong doing. Sounds like they want to jam up coppers to please the criminals. Makes perfect sense.♠️
Fuck the Mayor of Shitcago, he has fucked this city to death, the little prick
and his 50 assholes!
Doesn't matter what happens you still have goofs out here in 011 pulling up on corners chasing a pack just because they run. They just don't get it, they are taking it personal and don't see the big picture. Ask the 3rd watch officers who are now being called down by the FEDS to be questioned about their actions when that moron Glen Evans was commander. Guess what he isn't going to say he told you to violate the civil rights of Joe citizen. You are on your own officers, the sooner you realize the city wants officers heads the sooner you will save yourself. Once again you step on your ding ding doing stupid stuff don't ask me to purchase a benefit ticket, you get what you deserve.

this idiot mayor has completely lost his mind... let the citizens investigate the police... the very citizens who think their kids are perfect and do no wrong. stay fetal officers, do absolutely nothing more than showing up to take a report and take your time doing it as well. the current population of Chicago residents do not want the police around and will do everything to ruin a good police officer. do not give them the chance to do so. stay fetal unless it is a 10-1 and stay safe. the sooner you can retire move out of this awful city and state.

I think you need to be reminded of a patrol officers job description. Respond to calls, handle on view crimes, enforce on view traffic offenses. That's it. Anything more is EXTRA. Stakeouts, search warrants, street stops, following up on named offenders, looking for warrants,, looking for hot cars, looking for drugs, looking for prostitution... All. Extra. Cops haven't stopped doing their jobs. They stopped doing EXTRA. Look what going above and beyond got them?! Don't know what you've got till its gone.
Don't worry, I overheard city hall has is expanding the safe passage program and ordered a truck load of new safe passage signs to deter crime.

Was at a send off for a couple of great supervisors from 009th District, heard the Commander from Mass Transit is retiring. Worked with her secretary in 009 I guess she made Sgt, bad news where ever she lands. Be careful of TD as a Sgt, no time on the street only will look out for herself. Sgt Strand and Capt. Anderson good luck enjoy retirement.

Who, on the local scene poses the greatest threat
to Rahm if they decide to run for mayor?
Especially if Rahm somehow isn't able to run the
table on The Police by the conclusion of his current term.
Zopp has access to the same North Shore and Gold Coast
big money people as Rahm does and she's likely eminently
more civil, likeable and collaborative than Rahm could ever
be. Even on his best day...
Oh yeah... She's black, a female and seems to be

Please don't attempt to appeal to our gentler sensibilities with some saccharine ad hominem when a reasonable response to the current political opinion of PO's is forwarded by one whose context allows them the authority to make such a suggestion. Eat a bag of dicks. If you don't like the job we're doing, then step up: take the test, pass the required exams/investigations, hit the streets, and show us how to do it. Otherwise, back off and stay out of this fight. Trust us, we know what we're doing.

Lucky you! "I'm no longer a Chicago resident...", so your post here is moot. What's happening here is dangerous for the police as well as law abiding citizens. Before giving advice, try walking a mile in their shoes.

Since the media always says an officer had xxx number of complaints against him and uses it in law suites and the media. (Note:they never say how many were ). I sure hope that the FOP plans to form a committee to sue all civilians that make false claims and reports on Officers.

The common and repeated theme/meme:
"If only the Cops didn't have ALL of those
pesky contractual and legal protections in
place... Those same contractual and legal
protections are preventing US from REALLY
being able to enact REAL Police REFORMS.
This is why THE COMMUNITY demands a
seat at the table when the Police negotiate
their contract.
Nothing but vengeful head-taking by
"Tha Communerty" as sanctioned by
Rahm who gives no fucks. As long as
HIS narrow Rumplestiltskin ass is
shielded from the righteous flames of
public ire and justifiable scrutiny for
suppressing the McDonald video to
protect his re-election campaign from
justifiable blow-back from the simple
minded dupes he depended on to be
elected in the first place.
"That Rahm who worked for Obama
is running for mayor? Sheeeeeeit!
We gonna vote for HIM!"
See?
Simple...
It's telling and frightening.
The collective we, risked EVERYTHING
for one third to one half of our lives working
a thankless, nasty, shit-doo-doo job in a mean,
evil and hateful city for the nasty, shit-doo-doo
people who are cheering and applauding how
hard it's being "taken to" The Police and
Policing in this town.
...Forever and always reference Rahm's snarky,
provocative and shitty-assed quote regarding
"sticking it in the Cops ear," as he was prancing
and twirling across the tarmac after jumping
off that private charter from D.C.
Was this his game all along?
Stealing from Public Safety to further enrich
the usual names in the Gold Coast/North Shore
and corporate sponsored municipal governance
and phony charity "Rolodex of Evil?"
"Who the fuck do those Cops think they are?
They take up half the city budget but they're
not generating any income!"
Bean-Counters, Whiz-Kids and Gurus
like Rahm operate in rarified air.
It's kinda thin up yonder so they tend
to think funny about stuff happening
here at ground level.
Don't worry...
We didn't forget you Clouted Birth-Righters,
Phony Clergy, parasitical members of
Elected Officialdom and the knee-walking,
toothless whores of local media.
Oh well.
Rahm's timing couldn't have been
better. He's just in time for
"Summer Shit-Show 2016."

Can you not write on complete sentences? Your attempt in poetic satar is annoying.
What are you? A fucking English teacher. I happen to enjoy these posts. It's what makes Second City Cop what it is. Go back to your crossword puzzle and STFU.

Bare minimum is what they will get from me. Nobody has your back in the department and especially if you're not in the clouted club. Be safe boys and girls.

Get FUCKED.

Look at the videos of police and gendarmeries in other countries. Often they wear ski masks to conceal their identities from terrorists and drug cartel killers.
Here we are open with our names, all kinds of personal information and video cameras everywhere that we release. Here we have to worry about local gangbangers, avaricious lawyers and the DOJ.
Maybe we should do as the French Foreign Legion does and adopt an alias upon entering service.
Stay Safe. Legio Patria Nostro
5/15/2016 12:52:00 AM
Everywhere they are concealed to protect themselves and their families, here rahm freely gives out officers information, then they wonder why another reason to stay fetal has emerged!
11:36AM I find his writings very annoying and usually skip it after the first paragraph.
I'm laughing at all these proclamations of Rahm's latest being "the end of polees work".
As soon as you fuckers hear the next tac guy, involved a PCS foot chase, you know dam fuckin well, you'll go blue lighting it, thru red lights, thru stop signs, wrong way down 1 way streets, across the district.
You can't help yourselves. I see it everyday, and shake my head.
You guys are beyond comical.
Laughin My Ass Off.
In my former district we had a coworker who was a hard charger. Well he got into trouble and was sent to call back and nearly lost his job. When they cleared him, he came back on the job and on his first day was back to his old self. He made a dope pinch, a foot pursuit arrest for a warrant and then a trr/arrest from a street stop. All on his first day back. All I can say is you can't fix stupid. For some officers their ego means more to them than their family or their freedom.
P.S.- I will buy a benefit ticket if your kid has cancer but never for you hard charger. Keep up the good work.
5/14/2016 09:28:00 AM
So let me get this straight, he is "stupid" for doing the job he is paid to do? He apparently filled out all the paperwork he was supposed to that justified his actions. Why are you bothered that he is doing the job he is paid to do.
On his snarkiest day I have never seen SCC tell officers not to do their jobs. He/she/they advises extreme caution. I hear a lot of disgruntled coppers telling every one to do nothing. So they never learned cutting off their nose to spite their face? Even if you retire and move away, it is in your best interest that this city survives and thrives. That's how you get your pension money, remember?
Do your job. Do it smartly, but do it. Learn the laws and keep your cool. If you are too afraid to even write a moving violation, this job isn't for you and never was. You are a coward and a thief every time you cash your check.

Was at a send off for a couple of great supervisors from 009th District, heard the Commander from Mass Transit is retiring. Worked with her secretary in 009 I guess she made Sgt, bad news where ever she lands. Be careful of TD as a Sgt, no time on the street only will look out for herself. Sgt Strand and Capt. Anderson good luck enjoy retirement.
5/14/2016 08:09:00 PM
Anderson is a Lt., not a Capt., how much did you have to drink?
I completely agree with you about Lipman's secretary making Sgt.
T.D. will be a treacherous bitch wherever she lands.
No real street experience but feels she knows everything.
I'm no longer a Chicago resident (thank God) but it is kind of awful to see you call for the force to do the bare minimum.
You are NOT hired for your union and pension concerns....you are the heroes we count on to make peace and arrest the bad guys.
Sometimes I think you need to be reminded of that.
________________
Haha. You think we took this job to be heroes? Don't be naive. You need to be reminded it's just a job. Union and pensions concern are some of our priorities. And a bigger priority is keeping that job and staying out of prison. So, YES, officers please do the bare minimum.
You guys and gals need to find a News outlet with the balls to give an interview with about 15 of your ballsiest spokesman. Black out your faces and tell your side of this. You're being killed in the media. Its time to push back. Wait until you have a warm month with 200 shootings, then go on and spill the beans on everybody. Paybacks a bitch, and you folks need to dole some out. I only found this site 3 weeks ago, and hearing your side has been shocking vs the medias portrayal. Fuck these punks, use their own weapons (media) against them. Do it!!! What is there to lose?

Sgt Strand and Capt. Anderson good luck enjoy retirement.?????? Just talked to Kevin Anderson a few weeks ago and he mentioned nothing about retirement. Hmm. Or did you mean Lt. John Anderson assigned to the 9th District? If so, best of luck to him. great guy. And I guess if you don't know his rank maybe some of the other stuff in your post isn't too accurate either!

We also are not hired to be political punching bags.
We're not hired to be trick bagged and jack potted either.
Police officers are very good survivors and are simply responding to the shitty hand they're continuously being dealt.

Slightly off topic:
I kept hearing rumors of upcoming exempt changes to be announced Friday( yesterday).
So far I haven't heard anything more.
Truth or same old rumors?
5/14/2016 10:18:00 AM
*********
The exempts are waiting for City Hall to green light the proposed changes. (9) exempt spots open, and then the trickle down effect. Some arguing still about who is going to fill certain spots....
5/14/2016 09:03:00 PM
Oh I forgot: It's all legit and the 5th floor of city hall has nothing to do with promotions.
Retired 12 years ago. Came on the job in the early seventies. Would have never lasted under the working conditions you are subjected to. I hold you all in high regard. Just remember there are still some good people out there should you run into them cut them some slack.

Off topic, but only slightly: Rahm Emanuel has appointed a deputy mayor! He created the $185k position for senatorial candidate flunky Andrea Zopp. She will also be the Chief Neighborhood Development Officer. Much like the newly created position of Chief Resilience Officer, just the thing we don't need! Also, aren't government positions supposed to be elected and not appointed?
5/14/2016 12:09:00 PM
"Keep your friends close and your (potential)
enemies closer."
Rahm seems to be keeping his options open on a
possible 3rd term.
Who, on the local scene poses the greatest threat
to Rahm if they decide to run for mayor?
Especially if Rahm somehow isn't able to run the
table on The Police by the conclusion of his current term.
Zopp has access to the same North Shore and Gold Coast
big money people as Rahm does and she's likely eminently
more civil, likeable and collaborative than Rahm could ever
be. Even on his best day...
Oh yeah... She's black, a female and seems to be
pretty smart too.
She's Kryptonite to the North Shore Shit-Ass...
Those who know, are saying she is thrilled to be in the spot because she intends to run for mayor in 2019 and is now in a position to run from within. This shows Rahm isn't too smart.

Worked Special last week, 3rd Watch 701 Supervisors told some POs there are bed bugs on the CTA system. Commander did not want anybody to know, because no police would be on the system. Work Hazard. FOP looking into it already!

You sir are a goof! It's a classic movie quote from Animal House. Maybe by the time you hit your 30th birthday you will figure it out. Until then, let the grownups talk!
Time to hire the white pro police woman
Lets see how this is shaping up: 1) cops carrying cameras 2) GPS on the cars 3) cameras on the cars 4) community members with no clue on how to be a cop or what it takes to hold down crime judging the actions of professional officers 5) personnel records released to the public 6) a new states' attorney who campaigned on locking up more cops faster 7) a police board which has now judged the entire force to be racist and picking on black people 8) a campaign to strip away all due process and just cause rights for police officers which will allow the city to fire them faster with little possibility of a hearing or an appeal by someone who really knows what they are doing 9) corrupt and fixed promotional process to include insider information on examinations and a phony patronage merit process where you only have to score 40% on a knowledge exam of department procedures and criminal law 10) led by merit promotees who have never passed a promotional exam and many of whom have no real street police experience 11) a mayor who is screwing with police pensions endangering the solvency of the funds 12) the makings of a kangeroo court masking as an independent police investigative body 13) cheers by the progressive ahole set on what is going on in Baltimore where police officers are on trial for assault for handcuffing someone 14) cheers from the progressive ahole set who still think Officer Brown from Ferguson MO. should be in jail for murder even after clearing state and federal grand juries 15) blame put on the police for the high crime rate in every black neighborhood in Chicago and for terrorizing and killing black males in huge numbers. 16) blame on the racist courts, prosecutors and police for all of the black criminals locked up . Lets See !! Did I miss something? Oh, I forgot the BLM lie and " hands Up don't Shoot Lie ".
Glad I took that ET gig
we can elect a republican states attorney , their are more law abiding citizens in crook county but the do not vote

Me too no don't have time to read off of his/her random double spaced thoughts so I just skip it.
I'm hoping the changes this Friday will fix this department, we are probably 8-9 promotions and moves away from making this department great. A few more weeks of ORCs and seatbelt missions and crime will be on the decline.

Speak for yourself. Why don't you direct your ire towards the real cowards& thieves, those occupying City Council?
Yes you missed this one when the father of the thug in ferguson said on camera "Burn this bitch down" and they proceeded to burn down ferguson. In a real city that was not scared to confront an offender, no matter what race or ethnicity, they would have locked up that pretend babys daddy on 3 felonys, inciting arson, rioting and looting. After all it was on every tv camera that covered the event.

Where have you been, Francis? Read the articles concerning Van Dyke. The media knows not only how many complaints he has received over the course of his career, they also know how many have alleged racism in the body of the complaints as well.

But Dean Sr. PhD is...
1. Pro body camera.....per 5 FOP meetings and at least 6 newspaper articles
2. Pro ISR because as stated at the FOP meeting he did NOT make a statement against it to the state when being voted upon.
3. Pro accepting Disability and FOP president salary.
5/14/2016 11:43:00 AM
1. If you can't stop them then get a seat at the table so you have input as to how they are used.
2a. Not pro isr but since he had a lot of input to the final version of the bill which was watered down from the original he let it go. If you can't stop it then round off the corners.
2b. The rest of the sate just added a line or two to their contact card. Chicago sold out to the ACLU that's why we have this pile of shit.
3. Angelo gives his disability check to the union. That's after he lowered the president's salary by 40K.
Your whole post is bullshit. Go find a real issue like the Sgt's assoc. screwing up out retiree hospitalization and screwing everyone out of 2% a year.
What would happen if Sergeants Boycott VRI IN JULY:
1. City would have to find Lts or higher to supervise on the street and pay more $$$
2. VRI is partially Federal money. If city decides to cancel RDOs and forces Sgts to work, that money comes from city budget( no $$$)
3. Put pressure on city to hear our concerns about Exam Scam 2015. It's a strike without striking. It is not a job action, voluntary work so can't be punished.
4. A show of strength and unity that we have a voice and should have a choice in policy and hiring. We need more Police on the street paying into pension. Not VRI.
