cBS Covers 016 Shortage
You can lead the media to a real story, but you can't make them cover it properly:
- The crime is going up, and police manpower is going down–a serious complaint coming from aldermen in the 16th police district.
Today they went looking for answers from police superintendent Eddie Johnson.
As CBS 2 Investigator [...] reports, the worry is high.
- Alderman Nicholas Sposato of the 38th Ward falls in the 16th police district.
It’s the biggest police district in the city. And covering 31 square miles, “I have been able to confirm five [patrol] cars on a given shift. Five is unacceptable.”
While in the 15th police district, the Austin neighborhood, there were more than 30 patrols that include support units.
And in the 11th, Harrison, there were also more than 30 patrols.
The alderman says, no question more squads are needed elsewhere, but, he says he believes police officials have over-compensated elsewhere at the expense of the residents in these wards.
Five, by the way, is including the two sergeants at one point during the evening. Here's a quick exercise for the slower members of the media:
- Ten years ago, the CPD had city-wide units like SOS, TRU, MSF, Enhanced Foot Patrol (Jump-Out Boys). Each of these units was about 250 officers, supervisors and support staff. None of them exist any more.
- Ten years ago, there was a separate School Patrol in five different Areas, in just about every public high school in the city, their own response cars and their own tactical teams. The Unit numbered over 200 officers. They don't exist any more.
- Six years ago, there were 25 Districts and 5 Detective Areas. We're down to 22 Districts and 3 Detective Areas. Each of the closed Districts housed nearly 300 officers. The Detective Areas were around 200 personnel.
With those 2,000 plus officers reassigned, the remaining Districts should be overflowing with manpower - they aren't. Exhibit A - 016.
The Detective Areas should have adequate amounts of Detectives and the clearance rate ought to be near the national norms. They aren't anywhere close. Exhibit B - Areas North, Central and South.
Homicide rate climbing. Shootings passing 3,000. Robberies and Burglaries up double digit percentages across the city. "Safe" parts of town no longer so safe.
Rahm is lying to everyone - and the media is letting him get away with it.

Yes! This is Rahm's doing.
What we need is a Huge Wall to separate the taxpayers from the non taxpayers.
Nothing will happen .... Business as usual summer is almost over nothing to see here folks
The problem is the decent people don't speak up enough.
It was just a few month ago Sposato and Special Ed met with the community at St. Francis Borga and "promised" more help was on the way.
Well what has been the result?? 6 PPO's were assigned to 016 !!!!... Think I'm joking ?! It was in our neighborhood paper.
Praising Special Ed like he was making good on his word. The article was a complete joke and was actually written in all seriousness.
To all who aren't the police that read this blog ... Buy a weapon and protect your family and loved ones because for the most part your pretty much on your own.
Glad to see Sposato speaking out. Where's Napolitano on this issue? Crickets chirping...
Ha ha ha!!! All the way to the bank! Suckers!
Put more cops on N. Michigan Avenue and clean out the bums (OK - homeless people/ panhandlers) off the street.
A recent visit downtown had me surprised (I mention this on another thread).
Bums are NOT good for tourism.
Please post the 016th district watch work sheets, we need to expose what is going on
It's to late. Between all the 86er's retireing now and the huge number of 90-94 classes that aren't hanging around till the end there is no end in sight.
The shortage of cops in 016 will lead residents to fend for themselves when confronted with bad guy in the garage or in the home. Cops have the means to fight back. However, for the average citizen Sheriff Clarke has good advice, "You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back. ... Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there." Rahm nor the brass will never give the same advice and in so doing so commits the average citizen/family to death or the very least a stay in the hospital.
Arm yourselves good people, for it is only a matter of time before the wolves come knocking on the door, realizing that the sheepdogs have been pulled away from the flock and sent elsewhere.
Could the Sheeple be showing some signs of life?
Maybe after getting rope a doped enough they're starting to wake up?
Rahm and Eddie the Axe man will put their spin on this and keep catering to and pandering to "the community"
Rahm has been playing the shell game with the tax paying areas and the "quieter" districts for a long, long time now.
Could the alderman and his constituents have finally figured out the shell game??
Holy shit..... the alder creature and constituents of 016 are displaying a pulse?
Rahm's been dry humping them since he got elected.
Rahm has no time for 016. He's too busy catering to and pandering to "the community"
I'm the police and I live in 016. My mother, father, wife and I (all live in 016) have all been victims of crimes ranging from vehicle theft, property damage and assault. These incidents occurred within a 6 month span and have occurred to my neighbors as well. The offenders of these crimes are mostly from inhabitants of other parts of the city—mainly the south and west sides. I have multiple RD's and pictures to prove it. My neighbors for the most part report these crimes, but in some instances are so unfamiliar with police interaction that they are not even aware of how to properly report these crimes. Not to mention it takes the average 016 beat car at least an hour to respond. Yes...property crimes are not necessarily violent, but still greatly impact our lives. Even with some type of insurance cost up to $500-$1000 for a deductible so we're not talking pennies here! Please, stop sending the PPO's to 011, 015, 007 etc...send them here where we need them or open up VRI or overtime initiatives in 016. I would gladly volunteer!!!
I hope the idiot journalists read this and ask questions.
The answer to manpower shortage. Have the civilians take calls!

So, even if Chicago wanted to, they could not assign 3,400 people to a festival like NYC did for the J'oevert Festival?
Three thousand four hundred police officers, for a single event.

Watch out for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phone. They have been catching fire on airliners in flight, one guy was charging his in the car and it went up and the whole car burned. These things have really hi-amp lithium-ion batteries, and this seems to be a bad batch. I don't think you want one around.
Isn't this pasting an even bigger target on the 016, for the Southside crews?
Now they know just how short the district is.
On Thursday afternoon eastbound foster ave at cicero was closed due to something east of there going on- a white shirt was putting the barricade in place and stopping eastbound traffic- that's beat 1712- a white shirt doing traffic control? It's not just 16 that's short changed
what do Rahm and Killary have in common they are both liars!
Vote TRUMP!
LAW AND ORDER!
31 square mile police district with 5 beat cars? This is the kind of police protection the people want and it would seem as a news story it is a non starter. The people seldom unseat elected officials ultimately in charge of their safety be they the incompetent Mayor or Judges who are a very real problem. I wonder if the crime rate and violence is really a concern for most people because actions seem to agree there is any real concern.

Relax with the bashing, Anthony was there with Sposato and is just as concerned. He is a ton better than the od hag we had in there before, who just happened to land a nice job at O'Hare, for being a good little Rahm soldier by the way.
Napolitano was at the meeting also
How long have we been lied to?

Sitting at the mayor's feet,waiting for commands.
They have even left my pretty neighborhood unprotected. Not fair Rahm. You are a Mr. Poopy Pants.
Rahm brought McNew York NATO Acting Stupidintendent to be the hatchet man. Rahm had the blue print in place for massive cuts to the CPD. Mc Jerkoff had no problem following the blue print as long as he could bring other New York Jerkoffs. Only one had the made the right move and returned to New York not wanting to have anything to do with the McNutt and his ego. His other lacky stayed and helped stir the boiling pot of shit. They demanded the CPD bosses lie about crime and this tricked down to the hardest working people on the department the patron and detective divisions! The race was on to ruin the CPD, Retirements and no replacement was out of control. The city has become very unsafe due to these evil Self serving jag offs,
It's not just Rahm who did the lying. McCarthy stood there all along and said we had enough police and no more were needed to do the job adequately and protect the citizens of Chicago. Time to call him out too on this BS!
The news bit said more officers would be going to 016, From Graduating Classes at the Academy, according to the Sup.
So much for opening up biddable spots.
I'm curious about how many FTO's work in 016...
And speaking of 016 and short--it appears that Ray (ray ray) Hamilton will be returning to the CPD in the near future. Word is that his request to extend his LOA (he has worked for the Cook County Homeland Security division for several years now, shlepping for Masters, and now DTEB) has been denied. Where will Ray be assigned, after attending a retread class at the Training division?
So where are the other media outlets? Hey Phil Ponce, last week you were referring to Foxx as the State's Atty. Elect despite the upcoming November Election. Carol Marin is too busy polishing her Peabody Award for the Lying Legacy of Laquan McDonald. Now if one of the media's homes were affected, we would see the mini cam trucks dodging the potholes while converging on the area.
On a side note, let's give Ald. Sposato a pass when it comes to the AlderCreature moniker. He's doing the right thing while 48 other clowns are still genuflecting over Rahmulus & Ed the Stripper. Stay Safe/Blue Lives Matter.

Please post the 016th district watch work sheets, we need to expose what is going on
----------- ----------------- ---------------
While in theory that sounds like a good idea it'll come back to bite us in the ass. Just bases on the fact that the true shortage is public is going to have an impact on time due. If nothing else the city is vindictive and you can be sure in order to insure coverage time off is going to start being granted sparingly. The city will sit on the district bosses making them accountable for man power every watch and God help the ones who are "too generous" in taking care of their people. Just thinking of the long game here.
The elephant in the room nobody in charge wants to talk about, why the explosion of crime among certain neighborhoods.
" Back in the day" Task Force would come thru a district like the Mongols and the neighborhoods were safe. Now we have Comp Stat and neighborhoods are destroyed. Ain't political correctness great?♠️
CPD has a lot of personnel - A LOT - hidden inside in "spots" off the street or in units. The "bosses" who run this shit show like a family business or who have to take care of officers connected to politicians or reverends REFUSE to reassign more officers to the street, to do the job we were all hired and trained to do, the job that maybe a quarter of this department is actually doing - patrolling the street in a beat car answering calls for service.
There are police officers on this job who are mortally AFRAID to work the street again or have to leave their cushy unit and go back to a district watch, and would do anything not to.
On paper we have a thousand less officers than we did 10 years ago. But what we still have left is criminally mismanaged.
Some officers being taken care of comes at the expense of others who now have more work to do with less back up. Oh, and let's not forget another result of less officers on the street - longer response times for citizens who need the police.
All so the chosen ones can continue to work inside or in a "special" unit and go home early and still call themselves police officers. They should be ashamed.
Don't worry, crime is down in 016. Burglaries are now classified as thefts from buildings, thus burglaries are down. Folks don't call the police anymore in 016, because they don't show up in a timely manner. And that callback unit is impossible to use. thus reported crime is down.
So, even if Chicago wanted to, they could not assign 3,400 people to a festival like NYC did for the J'oevert Festival?
NYPD has over 36,000 Officers you can't even make a comparison shit for brains
Bring back the school unit, the school officers are a waste of watch manpower since they dont work weekends and take up furlough spots.
I am hearing next friday Sept 16th 10 openings in 016 and 022
Get your par forms ready.
Arm yourselves good people, for it is only a matter of time before the wolves come knocking on the door, realizing that the sheepdogs have been pulled away from the flock and sent elsewhere.

liberal democrats would never advocate armed self defense .
Retired and loving it. Went to 016 in early 80's, we had over 350 p/o's assigned to district. There were 3 wagons working all 3 watches and every major intersection in district had a footman assigned. there were 3 wheeled motorcycle police working on days and 1650 cars on afternoons. Now you are lucky if you see a squad, thank god there are active and retired police aplenty in district. STAY SAFE OUT THERE THE JOB HAS CHANGED AND NOT FOR THE BETTER !!!!!

Officers Under Investigation For Alleged Police Exam Cheating Promoted
DNA Info:
By Heather Cherone | April 8, 2016
NAVY PIER — Mayor Rahm Emanuel and new interim Supt. Eddie Johnson Friday promoted three police sergeants who are named in an investigation into alleged cheating on the department’s lieutenant’s exam.
Three of the 36 lieutenants officially promoted Friday — Lt. Nakia Fenner, Lt. Maryet Hall and Lt. Davina Ward — were named in an anonymous complaint made to the department’s Internal Affairs Division that accused Deputy Chief Eugene Williams of sharing “information that was privileged” about the exam to sergeants in a study group, according to a confidential police Internal Affairs report obtained by DNAinfo.
Williams is a “subject matter expert” who helped create the exam, documents obtained by DNAinfo Chicago show.
Williams’ study group included Fenner, who is engaged to Johnson, as well Hall, who is married to former First Deputy Police Supt. Al Wysinger, who retired last year, and Ward, multiple sources told DNAinfo Chicago.

It's nothing you and your fellow like minds can't
solve.
Be willing to take matters into your own hands
since Rahm has intentionally stripped you naked
and defenseless in the face of m/fers migrating
from their over-Policed hunting/breeding grounds
to come up by you just because you and yours
lived right and played by the rules.
You see... It's that entire fucked-up construct
that "decent" law-abiding people won't fight back.
Rahm Emanuel wholly endorses that fucked-up shit
because he has more hatred for you than those
creatures scouting and probing YOU just to
hit a lick.
Are you angry enough yet?
It's YOUR hide...
How much do you value it?

I live in 016 also weak alderman cowardly commander, neither stand up for us even though we pay higher taxes, seeing a squad car here is like seeing the proverbial unicorn!
CBS better watch out.
Rahm will send his henchman to silence them.
You know the inevitable "innocent unarmed young Black Man" will be targeted by an evil white property owner and all the usual suspects will flood 016 to feign outrage.
Why does the 019 district have 5 Tactical Teams but none of them are there after 3am
Ald Naps sent out info that "large numbers of POs" coming to 16 in Oct and Dec. BIDS TO 16 to be quadrupled in the next few bidding cycles. This comes after the meeting with Eddie and Navarro. If true, all you ghetto rangers can put your money where your mouths are and mske a difference in the "homeland".
Rahm Emanuel the Lying Snake.
You knew who he was when you re-elected him.
Anyway, one other critical point was left out in the 016 manpower shortage...Ohare Airport (part of the 016 boundary). Did any the bordering aldermen factor that in? - NO.
Ill-equipped to handle any catastrophe. Unarmed security personnel, a scant, lax, uninspired and undertrained-armed politically appointed personnel AND most importantly...a great distance from any responding support personnel when the chit hits the fan.
Traffic is horrendous getting in, up to 30 mins. just from Harlem to the terminals. Traffic aides are where?
Politically run and operated with a gentle non threatening style, watch out for bums, beggars, pickpockets allowed to roam all over, and then the a wide open CTA tunnel space that is like a refugee welcome center and halfway house. There has be a soup kitchen down there too.
Take note Ohare, The Brickyard Mall had a better disaster plan before it was demolished, maybe you can resurrect their public safety plan.
Does the politically appointed commissioner at Ohare Airport know what Alleppo is ?
SCC, this is an excellent and succinct pose, as always. It's simply a matter of cause and reaction--if you reduce the number of police and restrict the efforts of those that remain, crime will most certainly increase and go unaddressed and unsolved.
I saw this, He talked abotu 15 and 11 having 30 cars each while 16 had 5. I'm all for getting more police here, but it's like saying the cash register is too full, or I can't fit any more money in my pocket and announcing it to the world.
not a cop, but armed anyway in portage park
Same problem in 22 ne District . 9 Beat cars on patrol on a good day .
The 10 sector is larger than the 7th District and has 3 Beat cars . The 3 Beat cars on patrol in the Mt.Greenwood ,Beverly and Morgan Park neighborhoods are often assigned to the 20 and 30 sector . That leaves the law abiding citizens easy targets for armed , strong armed robbery , burglary ,theft from auto , bicycle theft . Crime is up in the 10 sector and many crimes are committed by convicted felons from outside the neighborhood . Where is our political representation ?
We pay higher than average real estate taxes , get little in return.
10 sector should have 5 Beat cars , 1 Squadrol , 3 Sector cars and a minimum of 2 tactical units on patrol at all times .
10 sector covers more area than the 20 and 30 sector . At one time there were 5 sergeants and a field lieutenant on patrol in 22 . Not any more , luck yo have two street supervisors .
Call 911 for all suspicious activity .
12:29 a.m. Go to the 41st web site Napalotano met with Special Ed and got the same promise Sposato got. Which really means nothing!
That must have been the quickest roll call in CPD history. And if there were split starting times for the watch, and somebody was late....
cheep-cheep-cheep...
(crickets...)
4 M/1 bandits tried to pull off a smash and grab at a high end jewelry store in Orland Park yesterday. An off duty PO was working security. One M/1 tried to lure him out of the store with some ghetto bs story. He didn't fall for it and called it in. Responding units caught all 4 who had fled and recovered a small hammer.
The big lie. They using it against trump but applies to Rahm and the liberal democrats ruining our cities.

It's their full-time JOB to know 'just how short the district is'. You get up and go to your job. They get up and go to theirs. The difference is, their job is stealing your stuff. THEY knew how short 016 was before 016 knew.

Thank you, Apple representative.
If your thinking of picking-up your own M-4, think twice. S.O. 04-26-11 Issued 017-SEP-16 states that upon retiring a duty-related M-4 shall de disposed of or removed from the City in 60 days. This is a question that was asked years ago and we were told it would never happen.
II. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Department members are bound by the requirements and restrictions relating to weapons ownership
and registration, as described in Department directives.
B. Definition of Assault Weapon: Section 8-20-010 of the MCC provides the definition of assault weapon.
Department members shall refer to this section to determine if a specific firearm is an assault weapon
for purposes of the City ordinance.
C. Possession of Assault Weapons
1. Section 8-20-075(a) provides that it shall be unlawful for a person to possess, sell, transfer,
import, or manufacture an assault weapon (as defined in section 8-20-010).
2. Section 8-20-075(b) provides an exception to the assault weapon ordinance for corrections
officers, members of the armed forces of the United States, or the organized militia of this or
any other state, and peace officers, to the extent that any such person is otherwise
authorized to acquire or possess assault weapons, and is acting within the scope of his
duties, or to any person while engaged in the manufacturing, transportation or sale of assault
weapons to people authorized to possess them under this section.
NOTE: Department members will refer to the Department directive entitled "Police
Carbine Operator Program" for information regarding registering assault
weapons.
3. Section 8-20-075(c)(2) provides that any person who is a qualified retired law enforcement
officer, as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 926C, and who lawfully possessed a dutyrelated
assault weapon at the time of separation from active duty in law enforcement, shall
legally dispose of, or remove from the City, the assault weapon within 60 days of such
separation.
The department had 1,200 detectives. The asshole from New York thought it was a great idea to cut 400 detectives and now we have about 800.
The department has way too many Chiefs and Commanders. Start getting rid of them. Get rid of Barb West. All she bragged about on midnights in 12 was about her neck pillow.
Hey, that's ok. As long as rahm has a dozen officers assigned to babysit him and his brood nothing else matters.
Dear Neighbor,
Yesterday, I met with Chicago Police Superintendent Johnson and 1st Deputy Superintendent Navarro along with Alderman Nick Sposato (38), Alderman John Arena (45) and Alderman Gilbert Villegas (36) to discuss recent crimes in the 016th District and the need for more police officers. I am happy to report that we have been guaranteed a large number of PO's assigned to 016 District in October, then another large number of PO's assigned to 016 in December. We were also promised that the bids into the 016th District will be quadrupled during the next bid period and will stay consistent the next couple of bid periods. Finally, we were promised that all assigned PO's and the number PO's who bid into 016 will be adjusted properly to the current rate of attrition in the 016 District.
I am very thankful to Superintendent Johnson and 1st Deputy Superintendent Navarro for their willingness to address our concerns.
Sincerely,
Anthony Napolitano
41st Ward Alderman

How dare you use the label "bum"? Homeless people have the same civil rights as everyone else in this sanctuary city. Police cannot arrest them and force them to move. Instead we must have pity, help them with assistance and food. Remember, in the democratic machine a "bum" is a voter. Undocumented people, bums, homeless even dead people can cast votes for the democratic candidates.
More cops aren't going to lower the crime hate to say, just answer calls. It is rediculous how long we wait for paper car in 016 though.
We all know we are extremely low in manpower,and with eddie and his gold star club doing the "bullshit shuffle" taking the scare police and putting them in the thugland areas thereby depriving the taxpaying, law abiding people police services! Can we sue the city when something happens? how about the exempt scared cat rats? Aldermen? Just want to put that out there!

Dumbass Napolitano talking about quadrupling the number of bids into 016. No matter if he multiplied the number of coppers by 1,000, multiplying by zero is always zero...unless you're talking about multiplying the number of ZERO bosses, then the answer is 700, as in homicides....

If your thinking of picking-up your own M-4, think twice. S.O. 04-26-11 Issued 017-SEP-16 states that upon retiring a duty-related M-4 shall de disposed of or removed from the City in 60 days. This is a question that was asked years ago and we were told it would never happen.

Some of you just don't get it, they are determined to take ALL the guns,you can keep them while you are on the job as their "useful idiot"... for now. After you retire/leave it's a new game Officer. The public,retired P.O.s etc. don't need firearms,all they can do is cause trouble with them. Current Officers ( now minus shotguns,don't you dare use that carbine and looks what happens when you do the right thing with your handgun) may have a firearm to protect the elite and enforce what ever laws they decide to put on the books. The minute you are no longer useful you're going into the same bucket as the public boys and girls.Watch IROC get f**ked with before it's over and look what happens now if you dare to protect yourself by shooting some honor student.They will use you to take the publics' guns and then they will take yours....wake up!
I live in 016 also weak alderman cowardly commander, neither stand up for us even though we pay higher taxes, seeing a squad car here is like seeing the proverbial unicorn!

If you honestly believe that a commander has any control over gettIng more bodies, you're really an idiot!
To the poster regarding the removal of "assault" weapons after a P.O. retires. STFU! They will only get my rifle after I blow dude away that just tries to crawl through my window. I will then get another one. Do you think they will come in your house and search? You really believe they can get a warrant because you "might" have a weapon? If they came knocking at your door you would likely open it, let them in, cry and then give up all your shit. It is fools like you that have truly screwed up the job. Grow a spine you weak sniveling coward.
Not sure where 79th & Cicero falls on the District Map but (2) black men held guns to the heads of my 14 year old nephew and his friend and took his iPhone on the play ground behind Stevenson Elementary School where he was practicing soccer with his friend. Has convinced the family it is time to leave Illinois etc.
Stevenson is about 80th Kostner. 834's. Beat. Saint Bedes neighborhood. Like most of the neighborhoods in this City - it USED TO BE a great neighborhood. Lots of cops, fireman etc. most started leaving early - mid 90's and shit has moved in ever since. But compared to the east end of 008 - comparitvely speaking - not as bad as the shit 20 sector in 008. I'm sure that doesn't make you fell any better - but most of the resources are sent east of kedzie - western - again to try and tame those that don't care about shit, and don't want us there.
All so the chosen ones can continue to work inside or in a "special" unit and go home early and still call themselves police officers. They should be ashamed.
Awww.......do someone get dumped back to the streets?
Cry me a river.
don't you dare use that carbine
Speaking of carbine's, has anyone seen the new special order concerning "assault" weapons?
A few paragraphs in, it states that if you had a carbine while you were employed by the CPD, once you retire, you can no longer own it. The department tells you that you have 60 days from date of separation to get rid of it, by either selling it OR move out of the city.
Dear Neighbor,
Yesterday, I met with Chicago Police Superintendent Johnson and 1st Deputy Superintendent Navarro along with Alderman Nick Sposato (38), Alderman John Arena (45) and Alderman Gilbert Villegas (36) to discuss recent crimes in the 016th District and the need for more police officers. I am happy to report that we have been guaranteed a large number of PO's assigned to 016 District in October, then another large number of PO's assigned to 016 in December. We were also promised that the bids into the 016th District will be quadrupled during the next bid period and will stay consistent the next couple of bid periods. Finally, we were promised that all assigned PO's and the number PO's who bid into 016 will be adjusted properly to the current rate of attrition in the 016 District.
I am very thankful to Superintendent Johnson and 1st Deputy Superintendent Navarro for their willingness to address our concerns.
Sincerely,
Anthony Napolitano
41st Ward Alderman

Thanks, Naps!!!
One of your Coyotes teammates
I trained in 016 (Gale St.) during the early 90's...There were a lot of us at roll call. Locker rooms were co-ed,(yep coed!) and rookies dressed out in the parking lot because there were no lockers available. We double parked because there was no parking space available. I remember a lot of greybeards trying to kill their careers back then. 29 and a day was the dream. For the most part the younger coppers did all the proactive work. The old timers brought in movers and parkers, and even a bus check or two. A curfew was like a part one arrest coming in. It wasn't heaven, but it had the appearance of legitimacy.
The bosses were oblivious to real policing. And there was little if any incentive to bring in arrests. Proactive policing caused police reports to be generated, and that raised the crime stats in the district. Many a night I went to check off with Zero's across the board. No problemo...
016 has always been wide open in my opinion. It's still a quiet place to live, but every once in a while you become the victim of a crime. Be it burglary, or theft. Now we see more robberies and shootings. The bosses then would rattle the sabers every time something hit the news. 016 could move back into the old Gale St. building (now a revenue center)and everyone could have two lockers.
I blame piss poor management...across the board for developing such a culture of dysfunction. Everyone who was taken care of said nothing while the band played on. The regular slobs who did the work just got heaped upon.
I left to work on the west side, and never came back. I live there now (016), and see the police about once or twice a year.
It didn't have to be that way...Nobody spoke up when cars went unmanned, or down for the tour. Is there even any foot patrol in 016 anymore? They worked about 6 hours a day...Do not ask for whom the bell tolls...it tolls for thee.
I could go on....but there is no point anymore...be careful, everyone.
It's cbs, nobody is watching.
Crime out of control in "safe" Wrigleyville. Just read the comments....

While I am not surprised, the numbers are actually pretty amazing. 5 cars for 31 square miles in 016, and 30 cars for 4.5 square miles in 015. That's one car for every .15 square mile in 015; and 1 car for every 6.2 square miles in 016. That means 015 has 41 times the number of cars per square mile than 016.

Since when do retired cops have to abide by General Orders? If you have your IROC card you can possess firearms.
9/09/2016 06:10:00 PM
The democrat urban utopias have all gone with this idiocy
of "their" municipal laws contravening constitutional rights.
You can have long guns as long as you're sworn and duty bound
to protect their interests.
But nothing for you when you honorably retire
because they fear you retired Coppers are going
to coalesce into a problem-causing core for them.
"Give up yo' shit an' be naked and afraid with
the rest of everybody else."

Yeah, I'm retired and my old department on the West Coast pulled the same BS. God forbid a good guy has an M4 to protect his neighborhood. Screw 'em, I got two of my own. Friggin' Communists, the shit never ends.
5 friends in the windy city all picked up snub nosed 38s this last summer and a respectable stash of ammo. FOIA is for the birds.
They know dann well the cops are staying fetal and none of them want to found with a bullet in their backs.
Stay safe and stay fetal.
I'm a citizen in 16, but had family on the CPD. Aldermen Sposato and Napolitano stood by the CPD when other politicians were running for cover over the McDonald incident. Unfortunately I live in the 45th Ward with the useless Arena who couldn't be bothered to attend any of the pro-police events.
I'm certain that Sposato and Napolitano are doing all they can regarding getting more CPD in the 16th District. They're fighting an uphill battle.
Nice to pay all those taxes so people on the west side get all the police service!

You still have to obey the law. An M-4 is banned in Chicago.
pensions will be gone once the feds come into play....screw this job!
31 square mile police district with 5 beat cars?
Napalitano can't even get my curbs repaired. How is he going to get a boatload of cops assigned out here.

So someone passes on info on how the City is screwing retired Officers is a sniveling coward how?
You can bet they knew the cameras were there rolling and populated the cars with the names from the duty roster that you never see in uniform detailed to some borderline ghost payroll unit. Have to repeat again piss poor management and shit rolls down the hill. Yeah a lot of shit up there......
Rahm will run one of his own against both sposato and napolitano and they will be gone like anyone who stands up against his majesty Rahm.
They will open bids up for 10 spots in 16 and every dog, do nothing copper will bid and go up there and do nothing, so nothing gained.

Or WHAT?
They'll assign your retired ass to midnights in Englewood?
There really is life after the job. And it doesn't involve Department Orders.
When you retire, you think you're on furlough, then the truth slowly seeps in.
It's like shedding many layers of Winter clothing and letting Spring hit your face with sunshine.
You don't look over your shoulder for 'who's watching' you anymore.
You don't have to beg your supervisor for the week you absolutely MUST have off.
You can go to family functions on holidays.
You can even own your own weapons.
OT: Hear a commentary today on WBBM radio about 22 employees in the municipal pension receiving over 100,000 a year which is draining the pension fund. I challenge anyone to check the Chicago Police pension fund. We have well over a 100 drawing that high of a pension, some as high as 140,000. No one says anything cause they are all politically connected but silently destroying our pension fund.

Not a big deal, as I plan on leaving this shithole city upon retirement!
Anyone that stay living in this crappy town after retiring is a fool and I don't feel sorry for you!!
Every exempt used to retire with a pension commensurate with that of a Captain. Gold Braid pensions were shoved through in the 90s to take care of all those Bridgeport connected types.
Time to repeal it
Maybe if the Northwest side folks could band together like the BLM people, we might be able to get some City services!!!!
Not sure these are posted now (and I'm done with the circus now), but when I got on, each district had a seniority roster posted in the roll call room. It listed all district personnel and those detailed out. If at least one person from each district posted the number assigned to that district and those detailed to clout spots, we'd get a better idea of how many people are actually working. We hear 12000 sworn from the City, but what is the real number? How many POs total and how many in each district? How many sergeants, lieutenants and captains really exist and where are they? The FOP/PBPA should know the real numbers of who's assigned to districts and to units, but the real number always seems cloudy. Aren't there seniority rosters on that fancy computer system, where someone can do a simple district/unit breakdown and spoon-feed the media a story on shortage?
This guy Tim Heneghan who is the 41st Ward Democratic committeemen is behind most of the negative posts about Napolitano. Yes it's the same Tim Heneghan who turned on the guy he grew up, his so called friend Mike McAuliffe, supporting this hippee Madigan stooge against him, Merry M. Heneghan will put out any amount of lies and bullshit in a effort to discredit Naps, because this turncoat rat fuck is running against Naps in 2019. As a resident of the 41, I saw the damage O'Connor did in 4 years. Their is no Politician in this city that backs the Police more than Naps. He and Sposato are fighting for more coppers in 16 since day one. O'Connor did nothing about anything for the 41st Ward but voting Rahms way 95% if the time. It was under her that the Police manpower was lost. As a matter of fact Naps has voted against Rahm more than any other Alderman in the City Councill. So keep up the bullshit posts Heneghan, everyone knows you for the rat bastard that you are along with your pals O'Connor and Mulroe. Your a disgrace to the Irish.
Your a disgrace to the Irish.

This is from one of your own - you career politician Irish scumbags are what got us to this point in our history. Enriching yourselves and your families at the expense of the rest of the taxpayers and wrapping yourselves in the Irish flag? 'Career politician' should be considered an insult and term limits should be enacted immediately. All that gerrymandering and career political muscle that keeps these criminals in power needs to go.
We are all Americans you shortsighted moron. All these professional Irishmen with their false pride blindly voting Democratic all these years while the politicians fleeced us. What a bunch of narrow minded idiots.

Seems to me, the only Race in Chicago that ISN"T To Blame for the way this City is being run currently is the American Indians.
Finally a good reason to be Cherokee.
Anyway, one other critical point was left out in the 016 manpower shortage...Ohare Airport (part of the 016 boundary). Did any the bordering aldermen factor that in? - NO.
SORRY,but the airport police is federally funded and paid by the airlines. They just get a city check.
Tim Heneghan is not connected to Heneghan Wrecking.
