Sat Teams to Wrigley

  • Don’t expect to see numerous street closings in Lakeview or a phalanx of cops outside Wrigley Field for Game 1 of the Cubs’ National League divisional playoff game Friday night against the San Francisco Giants.

    Instead, look for Addison and Clark streets to have regular parking restrictions and possibly be blocked off next to the ballpark for the safety of the sellout crowd.

    Also look for a marginal boost in the presence of uniformed police officers.

    The Chicago Police Department plans to increase the number of uniformed cops outside Wrigley Field from the typical complement of 40 officers to about 70 on Friday, a police source said.

    Officers on so-called “saturation teams” will be moved from other parts of the city to the neighborhood surrounding the ballpark. As usual, you’ll see officers on horseback. And more plainclothes cops will be assigned to look for people selling counterfeit tickets and merchandise.
So they won't be saturating the west and south side killing fields. Also, the Department recently stripped PPO's from the Districts and created an open ended "Detail Unit" that they can deploy citywide, switching hours and days off according to the progress of the post season.

In the meantime, be careful this weekend as the band-aid teams are redeployed to watch millionaires and their fans attempt to break the world's longest losing streak.

70? That's it? Red line boys from the South have to be licking their chops.

If the Cubs organisation is so worried about counterfeit merch they should pay for private security to look in to that. You guys don't have time to screw with that. In today's anti police climate I can't see any officer chasing some one down and risking getting thrown under the bus protecting the profit of the Cub's merchandising.

This superintendant letter clearly states that no force is to be used, and to create a zone of safety around the offender....this means even with property damage, is to await till he tires himself out, gives up, or hurts "enough" people, to take action.

Therefore, also, anything considered a "risk" (i.e. Risk to public, risk to ...etc) is not considered actionable...because "risk" can be put under the term "Subjective" and open to interpretation (couch quarterback)....they say we can't forecast risk, people's individual actions....i.e. Use police intuition

But again, you're response must be the last resort, creating the offenders protective capsule, till all threats are reduced.....sounds like a long time.....and a lot of collateral damage and wasted manpower to "hug a thug"

In the meantime.....

So just keep driving by.......

I hate to say it but if there is going to be a terrorist attack on this city that's where it will happen. Massive number of people in one area. It has been attempted before. I hope I'm wrong...

I wish that some of those handsome police officers would surround me with a zone of safety. It would be delightful.

Now, kees me you fool!!!!

In a sane world legislation would be passed denying civil recourse to anyone (or their families) high on PCP or any other mind altering substance when resisting arrest. This would include force up to and including lethal use of force.

Rahm would crap his pants if someone high on PCP tried to attack him and it took his whole detail to subdue the assailant. I could just see the ballerina screaming to his people to shoot the "victim".

Resident of 019 here. NOW we get enough officers? NOW we taxpayers get protection? Oh yeah, Rammie the Commie is on stage for the world. Now we have to maintain the charade that it's Disneyland here and not a neighborhood of unarmed (except me!) soft targets who live in RAP status while the cretins from the south and west sides rob and beat us during all hours of the day and night. But some millionaires in pretty blue shirts actually learn to throw a baseball, and now we get extra officers.

I can't wait to move to a red state.

God bless our thin blue line.

Good. I like to see the taxpayers get some service. One family in Wrigleyville pays more than all the residents of englewood combined

The ghoulish goat face puss of Rahm Emanuel is the new curse of Chicago.
This City with its weak CPD leadership, barebones manpower and community crime can't handle a World Series,
it will result in Ferguson-style rioting and looting.
Rahm will not allow The Cubs to participate in any championship before a Presidential Election.

VOTE TRUMP and maybe the Cubs will move to Winnipeg.

barry is coming to town watch him sneak into Wrigley,then watch the police stripped even more from taxpaying areas the cubs will never finish Theo gives money to hillary that makes him a loser and his team the same.

The funny part Theo had to hire off duty security and have your wife complain to the newspaper about high crime around Wrigley due to the crime rising to the stratosphere but yet he writes clinton a check, don't worry Theo kid if she wins the crime will more than triple what kind of goof are you? At least the boss Ricketts gives law and order Trump millions because he has brains and believes in America unlike you.

Fuck the Cubs. I was on the 36 earlier and saw about 10 police cycles parked close to Rush ad Division - WTF!
And if any police horses are abused tonight - I hope they stomp their stupid asses.

We need all Cops in Uniform and Clean Shaven, not running around in jeans playing Starsky and Hutch. That era has long passed. Get with Modern Times, Chicago Police Department.
