Openings!

The City posted District openings Friday.

The sergeants have 57 openings - every district except 015 and 017.

The Patrol Division has exactly 10 openings, all in 003.

What a joke.

And meanwhile, we hover near 160 officers. Used to be around 200, a few years ago. Was in excess of 300 15 years ago. Retirements, promotions and bidding out has stripped us of our manpower. Meanwhile, 14 years get you midnights. Shut up about bid somewhere you can get a better furlo and watch, the damn district I work in is down near 50% in manpower now. I get a summer furlo and a watch I want, the new guys are fucked, year after year.

Anyone who bids to that hell hole needs their head examined. I have never in my career seen a building filled with so many morons. My team cringes when we get deployed there!

Heh...
Must've been a shit-ton of PAR forms submitted in 003
last period in recognition of some prize-winning supervision.

"How dare you try to escape to save yourselves!
Are you too good to be supervised or something?"

Do PAR forms still "vanish" from the outgoing Interdepartmental Mail
like once-upon-a-time?

Just roll to an adjoining district
if you suspect mail tampering...

Shocking, special ed lied at the community meeting where he said "trust me, 016 is getting many more officers". Zero openings since that statement.

And I'm sure that the bosses in 003 who happen to be on duty those days when your 'team' is deployed there feel the same way also.

Thanks Officer Compassion Bleeding Heart.

Then go to midnights for one year and give one lucky guy or gal your spot. Yeah, when pigs fly.

003 is a shithole. The brass only care for the aldercreatures and officers can't get time. Put it this way 003 is where the LTs go after they score high in study groups. Then you wonder why they're headquarters pawns. The shit heads punch you in the face which is better than getting stabbed in the back by management

Hand carry your 003 Bid to FOP & MLAS, don't risk it.

Are they shifting around the Sgts to give the Merits some relief, will some Merits be hush-hush detailed out so it won't be so obvious or did they over staff the Merits and they're tripping over one another for some radio time?
Certainly looks like they won't be promoting anymore Sgts if they have to level the playing field.

Stay Fetal.

It's sad that the poor citizens of 003 don't have enough police. They need 10 officers to get up to full strength like the rest of the districts.

Ok, now that the jokes are out of the way, I'll be serious. If we all know that pretty much every district is short on manpower, and the department says the are only 10 openings, all in 003, where they most likely need at least 3-4 times that number, what does that tell you about the rest of the districts? Where do they actually come up with these numbers? These aren't vacancy numbers. These are fake vacancy numbers to attempt to justify a manpower shift to the most shorthanded ghetto district. "Oh, there are no openings in any good districts? I guess I'll bid to 003 since it's closer to home." Fuck that. Why can't the union force the city to post actual vacancy numbers? Shouldn't union members be able to bid to any district that has an actual shortage of officers?

The sergeants had a lot of recent retirements because their 55 and free medical expired this year. That's probably why the rage amount of openings. Not everything is a conspiracy.

If we're down this many sgts, shouldn't they make a class of 60? Nah, that makes too much sense.

Officers wondering why they can't bid into the nice Districts. Officers wondering how short on Officers the nicer Districts are and wondering why there are never vacancies in the nicer District. Officers wondering why they can't get out of the ghetto Districts. Here is your fucked up answer boys and girls. Class 15-1 just got off of PPO status. 82 PPOs assigned to their respective Districts a few days ago. Check out these numbers of some of the nicer Districts
008- 8 new Officers fresh off their status
009- 4 new Officers fresh off their status
012- 3 new Officers fresh off their status
016- 6 new Officers fresh off their status
017- 6 new Officers fresh off their status
019- 10new Officers fresh off their status
025- 7 new Officers fresh off their status

That's a total of 44 out of 82 PPOs that got assigned to the nicest Districts in the City. That is so fucked yo it's not even funny, I have been on this job 10 years and I'm no where close to being able to get out of the ghetto. There are many Officers like myself who are stuck in the ghetto because there are no fucken openings. There are no fucken openings because Officers who have 18 months on this fucken job are getting assigned to 009,012,016,017 & 025. This hardly seems fair, fuck you and your fucken activity on this unfair Department.

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this? Let's the Veteran Officers who have 10 years on this job be able to bid to these Districts and put the rookies in the ghetto not in 012,016,017 & 025

I believe last month the department posted 10 openings in 3 and 10 openings in 7. Some people bid to 7 but no one bid to 3. I'm with the earlier poster here.......send the PPO's to the 3rd district not to the "nicer" districts. That's just bad for the already depleted morale on this job.

I knew they would simply fill nice districts with ppos. Complete b.s and yet our union will do nothing. Bidding out of a distinct should not take 10 years. So done with this department.

You should feel right at home there. In spite of all these manpower shortage the connected ones still have their units where's it's take home cars, early ducks and patrol continues to feel the pain. GFY Teamboy.

Thank you, seriously. I live there and am usually pissed off at the lack of coverage and officers who believe in protecting the homeland. It's not suppose to be a retirement home, not while the amish keep showing up.
