002 Lobby
Forwarded to us - how is this even allowed?
Hey FOP? Safety Grievance? How many lice or scabbies are breeding right now in this pile? Airborne diseases being coughed out on unsuspecting coppers? Contact sicknesses, too.
Is the 002 District a place of business or what? Who the fuck allows something like this to occur?

Blame the commander with her know it all ass. Probably some of her damn relatives. I betcha T Williams wasn't having that shit happen under his command
Just so you know this is all courtesy of the new third watch Lt. He has told the desk crew and others in the building that he is mentoring young lammon reccord... yes, the BLM activist. He said he is taking reccord under his wing and allowing him to come in to feed the homeless in the 2nd district. With the praise of the Lt lammon now comes in that station like he owned it and treats the desk crew accordingly.. and yes, the Lt was merit and undeserving. Given a merit pick because he fulfilled a certain criteria that has nothing to do with work ethic, know how or experience.. of course crystal kaaannggg smiff has no issues with this at all. Two of the biggest racists out there in my opinion.
The multi-purpose room at HQ would be a better shelter.
Come on Dean. You admittedly are sinking fast to "Cabbage Patch" Kev.But do something for the membership at least this time before an election.
If you were homeless I'm sure you would appreciate it. Try living outside on the streets on a cold chicago night. I became a copper 26 years ago. Before I became the police I had lost my job, apartment and my car. I lived outside for 3 weeks. It was the hardest time of my life. I was able to get a job at a furniture store loading trucks and got back on my feet again eventually before my life was saved and I got this job. I'm ever greatful for this job and I laugh when I hear you people complain about it. I was literally a homeless bum for thee weeks and it was in the winter. Let these people be, it's not easy no matter what the situation is and could happen to anyone.
Same shit in 011! Unreal how unsafe this dept is. What a fuckin joke compared to other agencies
I bet there's more than 1 outstanding warrant laying there and a few with a pocketful of dope.
Now I know Where to drop off all the Derilects from Clark and Division.
Just another reason to NOT VOTE for Dean Angelo. We need new leadership Vote Kevin Graham!!! Graham would be all over this. Unlike silent Angelo
OUR MAYOR , who else , If you kick them out , The Mayor will be up your Ass. And Left Hand Eddie kissing his ass
The fucking democrats that's who...
Some things never change in the duece. Just looks worse than before glad I'm gone from there.
Finally! The truth comes out. I happen to work in that toilet of a district (they don't call it the deuce for nothing) and this an everyday occurrence...even in the summer. The weak, incompetent commander allows it. It's like a hooverville in there. I don't know what's worse, the smell of fermented toejam coming from the bums or the low-grade incense that those atom splitting geniuses at the desk insist on burning that allegedly masks the smell, but instead creates a unique and offensive funk reminiscent of your average arrestee's body odor. I'm done!
I was a ppo there almost 10 years ago......that lobby has looked like that since then....probably longer. So happy im not there anymore.
Commander Crystal King Pearson Smith.
Looks like a sanctuary station to me the twerp mayor would be proud of...
This was Daley's way of slapping the cops when he was mayor and Rahm has continued to follow suit. But City Hall and the County Building when they are open are free of such sights. Hmmmmm!
Maybe all homeless people should be directed to Rahm's address.
FOP? Really? You think Dean has time to deal with this when he's scrambling to keep his spot? He's got campaigning to do.
TB , host of other diseases transmitted from persons ,who lack most any type of care .You want to bring that home from the station ? .. shame .. call in OSHA.. to anyone who has cojones
Excuse my language, but -
THAT is F@CKING disgusting. Clear that SH@T out!
That shows the total lack of leadership in CPD. Where the Hell is the "person in charge"??
If I had a crime to report, I would be afraid to walk in there.
Thanks for showing another visual of Chicago and why no one should go do any business there.
What you should do is send this picture to @WorldBusinessChicago -they are always talking up how great Chicago is. Evidently, they don't get out of their posh downtown office to see reality.
it's been a bug infested rathole like that for years. Give them Rahm's address and let them camp there.
What's amazing is we can spend MILLIONS on keeping illegals but can afford to have more shelters & programs for homeless Americans!!! What a great country...
Seriously is that the Philippines or Mexico city?
002 has been like this since I've been on the job for the last 15 years. And I'm sure much longer than that. The stench is disgusting and would make working the desk unbearable. Who remembers the old 007 station where VRI is now? In the winter you had to walk over bodies by the front door and on the stairs to get to the front desk.
Oh my god.
Other police departments Ive been to have a locked door. People have to be buzzed in. Its weird that a dept wouldnt have those protections in place
Egads, do you call that a police station?
It looks more like Bums R' Us. No wonder the CPD is a joke. This picture proves it.
I say...What are the trophies for in the background? Best cardboard box house? Most layers of clothes worn on a Summer day? Most pungent odor not found in a sewer?
This makes me want to spray a whole can of Lysol on my monitor and then dump a gallon of bleach on it.
Forget bullet-proof vests, you need those germ-proof suits they wear in all those killer-Virus movies.
Holy Fuck, I can smell the Frito feet and dirty ass hot breath from here!
ROLL CALL?
I knew morale was bad but, at least get the same uniforms on.
Best example of staying fetal - I'll give you that.
Ohhhhh and the command staff allows some police haters
To feed these people, and now there's like twenty or thirty a
Night!!! Oh and the midnight desk crew , yeah keep getting
That free food, scum!!
Arrest those fuckers
What's even sadder is that the tv crews covering news events walk right past the vagrants and never cover this. Maybe we should direct the most infirm to the NBC Tower - tell them that Carol Marin says it OK.
Oh and these people feeding the homeless were seen at the desk reading
Reports!!! Yeah desk crew with yo lazy asses
Been this way for years. Smell can be unbearable at times. At best, it smells like fa breezing a fart .
Oh come on SCC!
Most Shekters have curfews and close their doors, and that's RACIST!
Why should you have to abide by the rules to stay somewhere safe and warm when when you can do whatever TF you want to instead?
Wow unbelievable.
That's insane!! 001 isn't as bad, but it's to the point where certain watches allow the homeless to basically live in the lobby. They leave garbage all over, clog the toilets and even crap and piss on the floors!! One guy spreads all his worldy good (garbage) all over the benches, takes his shoes off and and goes to sleep. Yes being homeless is sad, but some of these people don't want any help, just handouts and they shit on us every chance they get!
No different than 11.
That is totally disgusting and as a taxpaying citizen I am appalled. I hope there is a way you can sue your employer.
oh no!!!!
There's usually at least one in between the inner and outer doors too. Smells really good. Fucking ridiculous.
I never seen this at a firehouse
I heard a copper got a STI from that kinda business
Isn't CHA running a surplus cause they got rid of half their clients
That is shocking. Why doesn't Rahm, Durbin , and Gutierrez take some of these poor people into their homes? Have they no heart? It's cold out. Is this policy for all districts and areas? Why not headquarters ? Truly ridiculous . Wow!
That's a normal, somewhat chilly night.
I wonder how O.S.H.A. would feel about those work conditions?
Seriously??
That's beyond ridiculous and has got to stop.
An incompetent boss allows shit like that to occur.
WTF!!!! Is this a joke?
Disgusting city!
And aren't these part of the BLM group who hate the police?
So based on this logic, shouldnt all aldermanic offices and city hall also be warming centers? I mean fair is fair...public dollars and so forth.
That's why we have shelters but they don't want to go to the shelter because then they'd have to take their medication, take showers, attend religious services and follow the shelter's curfew rule. Why follow a curfew rule when you can run in and out of 002nd district all night? Old filthy blankets, suitcases, shopping carts, bags of miscellaneous garbage and a smell out of this world. Lighting candles behind the desk won't kill diseases. Police station are warming centers not hotels /shelters. Make them go with DHS so they can get the services they need instead of making them longterm residences. They have lice and many of them are not on their medication. P.S if you ever pulling up in front of 002 to use the cash station be sure to lock your car doors, but they runs in and out and stand out front too.
Why aren't they allowed to sleep in the HQ lobby or city hall lobby, plenty of space there?
Homeless urinates on themselves repeatedly then sit and sleep on the benching that people waiting for service have to sit. Yuck!
To the former homeless guy at 12:15-
While I feel for you and the homeless in general, a Police station is NOT the place they should be. What other entity would allow this to ocurr?. They belong in a homeless shelter, NOT in the lobby of a Police station.
When DHS pulls up they all decline to go to shelters because they want to hang around the desk while citizens are making reports. Go with DHS or get out! One of the homeless in 005 thinks he owns the place. Please don't forget about the 005th district.
Midnight desk crew half asleep and delirious while the homeless and wide awake. Scary!
Relax, that is the tact team. They just finished their arrest for the day.
Graham is poisonous and has never been the police. Coppers will see through the bullshit once he speaks. He along with Donohoe/Doherty tag team took money out of your pocket with the Shields debacle. Be weary.
/
Worked there thirty years ago & that was going on even then. Nobody cares!
Pardon me, I call bullshit on the copper of "26 years" above who ends his post let them be. I am a troll reader and if you think that picture is okay then you have not learned much in 26 years, no disrespect intended if you are truthful.
Who checked them and their "belongings" for weapons? Who checked them for warrants? How do keep them leaving and coming back with a weapon or posing as poor homeless people who later join an assault of the station? That appears to be a police station and not a homeless shelter. It was not designed to be a homeless shelter. There are many shelters all over the city and many UNDER capacity every night. That is where homeless should be.
If there was discipline and integrity in the command structure, you would not have this kind of insanity happening. But you do not have either of the aforementioned required qualities of good leadership which is why you are in the fix you are. You do not even have strong leadership at the lodge and the fact that this situation exists is further evidence of failure. This is a very good example of the lack of leadership that defines what it is to be a Chicago Police Officer in 2017. I am glad I grew up when I did, when Vietnam era cops were coming on and we knew those cops meant business when they told us to grab the wall or get off the street. As a grown man I am not sure what is going on now.
I like the one on the left who has her pajama's on
Well, the district IS a shelter...Glad I don't work there...

I can just see all the white guilt dripping from your pores, you'd make a great exempt member on this new and improved Police department...
I guess the Lt. on the 3rd is banking on Lamon Reccord winning the Alderman seat of the 7th ward. Lamon is a high school drop out from CVS high school. He dropped out before the age of 16. Lamon Reccord doesn't want mentoring. He thinks he knows more than the police or any adult. That's not mentoring, that's more like catering. Karen Lewis, Prekwrinkle and Father Pfleger had the nerve to allow this HS dropout protest with them during school hours, inside of city and state buildings. Reccord has sat in police board meetings, yelling at brass members while the principal of CVS is recording the automated voice message on his guardian's answering service. "YOUR CHILD DID NOT ATTEND SCHOOL TODAY." Lewis the president of CPS union allowed dropout Reccord to work for her instead of encouraging him to get his high school diploma. Reccord is still young enough to obtain a legit HS diploma.

That's the twerp mayor's main voting block...
The one piss bum on the left has brand new Jordan gym shoes, WTF!!!
So if we allow this at a police station, can the bums just set up shop at any public building - say CITY HALL, a firehouse, a library...AN ALDERMANS OFFICE... why his is allowed at a police station is beyond me. It used to be they waited in the lobby for a ride from Human Services and were driven to a shelter (up to a certain time) - now they have just created a tent city in 002. I feel bad for the janitor who has to clean this shot up - especially the public bathroom in the lobby.
CKS is by far the worst Commander I've worked for in 25 years, she acts like she's at war with her own troops, especially a certain group of us.
They should have a contest which district has more 002 or 011. I'm putting my money on 011.
This is no joke!!! And one morning they could not wake up
A guy and he was dead!!! Yeah dead od on heroin!!! So these people
Are not truly homeless, just piss bumbs that are taking advantage
I had to take an arrestee to the lobby bathroom in 002 and there were 4 homeless dudes sleeping in there as well.. it was ridiculous.
Does anyone remember the one armed guy that lived in 002? This individual also had mail delivered to the district.
Oh wait till tonight the 14th Tuesday night!! On that ( stripper / bleeding heart feeding the homeless)
Is having a birthday party for one of the homeless!!! Wtf is going on!!
Balloons and cake!!! This is why TRUMP won!!
The lobby smells like the the dead have been rotting away for months
The further away from my pretty loft the better.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
... corporate bedbug farm..
ROLL CALL?

Excellent!!!
Dean has done nothing but looked out for himself and his kid!! I'm paying union dues for what? If you get into a jam you have to pay out of pocket to pay Danny Herbert!
Why are these people not taken to homeless shelters or has Rhonda closed many of the homeless shelters as he has closed 10 other mental health facilities so now we have all of the crazies are out roaming the streets. This is not good for the homeless people or good for the police or anyone else that enters their pathetic facility some of these people have disease they need to be taken care of properly not housed inside of a police facility. The commander and white shirt management staff are sickening they all should be reprimanded and properly train but then again with the command staff we have now they are laughable every last one of them when Eddie came in he had a chance and big chance to make positive changes in the Chicago Police Department but all he did was shuffle the deck of the same old people that did nothing I have no clue how to be in charge over there for is the take from you a big chunk of the pension.
What is going on with the gold braid parity bill question? They head of the Chicago Police Pension board and the board of directors are to be looking into illuminating the gold braid pension just like the Chicago fire department pension fund has done years ago looks like the fire department is definitely the heroes in the pension department and our patient board are the zeros allowing our underfunded pension that by the way is severely underfunded do you have the cloud it clouded people take pensions their own deserved just just look at the shenanigans even rhymes detail his valet units every last one of them are patrolman pensions ranging from sergeants all the way up to commanders.
Hello Dean are you looking into this are you still hiding in closets very quietly come out into the sunshine it's us take a visit to this district get out of that office take a ride come and see the police facilities and see what the officers actually do maybe even do some right along's with actual street working coppers maybe you'll learn a thing about what being a police really means.
It looks like roll call in 002 to me!
All you need is a watch commander in slippers with a six's jersey on.
I wonder what would happen if this was on the front page newspaper.
Are these the Zombies the state wants you to prepare for in Zombie Preparedness Month? Or Clinton supporters just taking a break from marching, protesting and shit?
Just can't quite picture them being President Trumps "Deplorable" supporters.
I'd reckon they're part of Clinton's FSA waiting for their section 8 handouts.
Stay safe Officers.
J.J.
I thought Pacific Gardens was on 14th and Canal?
Send this photo to Pres Trump and AG Sessions (I'm not savy enough). This is ridiculous and no one,especially those who protect us, should have to work in this environment. OMG shame on you Rahm and the entire city council losers.

Bosses...plural......city wide.......
The smell is unreal!1111
I worked there and the desk crew said that Commander allows it. This has been a long problem and I'm not surprised if these bums have mail arriving there as a home address. Beside this is Obama's, Jessie Jackson and Louis Fart-a-con home District and how fitting.
If you were homeless I'm sure you would appreciate it. Yadda-yadda-yadda. I became a copper 26 years ago. Yadda-yadda-yadda. Before I became the police I had lost my job...I lived outside for 3 weeks.
Bwahahaha! Yeah ok, sure Sgt Ray Ramirez...now stay off the blog!
This is done to keep crime stats down. Who the hell wants to come and file a police report when the lobby smells like a zoo?
Are these people screened for weapons? Or are the people at the desk sitting ducks?
Instead of pissing and moaning about it, why doesn't some copper invest several minutes notifying a shelter with enough beds, ask them to come out and pick them up? Then meet them in the lobby and inform the tent city residents that there will be an arrest made if they do not choose to go to the shelter, or leave the station. I cant imagine any watch Commander/DSS not on board with this. Imagine the legit contact cards that could be submitted here...
Believe it or not, homeless people are people too. I imagine that they feel safer the station. They just need to be encouraged to "get along somewhere else"...In the winter in Chicago there are Faith ministries with buses/vans that go out to the homeless and minister to their needs. This is an underused resource IMHO.
I get that the station should not be used for permanent refuge. No more than a few hours, and you have to go somewhere. Even if it needs to be cleaned out every shift.
I am now retired, but as a desk officer I used to call "Department of Human services" to come get them. I don't know if that resource is still available. All it would take is a few minutes to care about a solution to the problem rather than simply complaining about it.
Have we fallen so far that we have forgotten who and what we are?
Hit the medical due to fleas and tb.
Democratic cities are failures....
Let me see if I have this straight - BLM hater helping homeless in the PD, then goes out and slams them? Hypocrite Fucking Central!
Where's the rev-runds when you need them? How come they aren't helping?
Ya know...it would be quite Christian of them. Same for the Marxist Archbishop too.
--No Cop Here
These people need our help. Most of them live outside of the courthouse or near the tracks in 002. They need to sleep in 002 to stay alive from the cold. Many POs including myself have bought food for them at one time or another. Have a heart people and be grateful for everything you have in life. Please have mercy on our fellow brothers. And yes I work in 002.
Like a third world country, or worse!
Do they get to shoot up and hit the pipe in the bathrooms too?
Is it true that Fenner was chosen to go to SMIP in Boston? If so it is a slap in the face to all 9173 that applied. Other than being Supts. girlfriend what has she done on this job??? Does anyone have the list of the chosen ones?
Get them the fuck out of there never never allow them to sleep where you are working. The officers who allow this are to blame including the desk Sgt. I would give a rats ass what the commander said go to the shelter or get the fuck out!
Pacific Garden Mission still around? Great organization until daley chased them out of the loop. They would help those that wanted help! The rest of these people have all kinds of issues and probably need psychiatric care as they are unable to function for a multitude of reasons. Where is Father Pfleger, the rest of the church's who pass a collection plate every Sunday but deliver nothing to the local people in need! Who started this?, WE ALL ARE RESPONSIBLE! but those with the power and the money are most responsible for closing their eyes on these people and doing nothing!
If its good enough for the police stations, it should be good enough for City Hall and the County building. Or the offices of Loevy and Loevy.
Post said it best... Chicago's Rahmicide doles out millions for illegals ,yet does not take care of Americans, Chicagoans ..LOL
Vote corrupt Chicago ,Crook County Democrat eh ?
Rahm Emanuel is a FAILURE and cannot keep Chicago safe.
He permitted CPD manpower to go down almost 4,000 Officers.
Officer Safety is non existent, but he has 4 squad cars on his block.
They're all tuckered out from a long day of looking for away not to be homeless.
Chickenpox, Influenza, Measles, Smallpox, Cryptococcosis, and Tuberculosis are all 'air born transmitted diseases.' Tuberculosis is transmitted by air in coughing, sneezing, talking, or spitting. A tuberculosis infected person can easily infect an additional 10-20 people in the same year with the same strain. TB-causing bacteria is passed from person to person through the air when someone with the disease coughs or sneezes. People who are nearby may get infected after breathing in bacteria. The bacteria can attack any part of the body, but they usually stick to the lungs. People who are infected by 'latent' TB ( by breathing in infected air born particles)do not have immediate symptoms, however the bacteria remain alive in the body and can become active later. They have what are called latent infections. If at some point in their lives their immune system is weakened, the once-dormant bacteria may begin to grow again and cause 'active' tuberculosis. TB bacteria become active if the body's immune system can't stop them from growing. They then multiply and make people sick. A small number of people get sick soon after they are infected, but most reactivate after years of latent infection.
The point of the above research information listed here in brief summary, is to inform our people and to protect yourself from 'air born diseases.' Perhaps a 'documented unsafe working condition' (OSHA complaint or FOP filed grievance) IF nothing else, can document (photos, written complaint) the present conditions. As far as an immediate remedy to the situation/conditions, I'm a realist and I'm aware of how the city works (or doesn't work)on behalf of our members. My whole point is to be careful, try and document conditions and take any precautions to protect you and your family.
Good Luck, stay safe and God Bless all our bothers and sisters, "on da' job."
(Retired, but still caring)
Why are they all holding FOP election ballots?

There are other things coming into play here. One, I am sure the direction is coming from city hall and the alderman's office to allow people to sleep in the stations when the weather is bad. Two, the city does not provide enough shelters for homeless and not enough vans from city service to pick these people up in a timely fashion. Again, the city is doing this on the cheap.Go to a suburban police station and you will not find this. I volunteer at a homeless shelter during the month. There are many places available in the south suburbs alone. Every night of the week these are open from 1 October to 1 May and they provide shelter from 7 PM to 7AM , seven days a week along with a hot supper, a hot breakfast and a bag lunch. Some also have showers available. You will find men and women and children in these shelters. They are called BEDS/PADS. This is where the suburban cops bring the homeless. They do not allow these unfortunate people to sleep in their stations ( for one the stations have no room and are built like currency exchanges)d a nd they do not allow them to sleep on the streets. It is about time the city steps up and does something about this and not push the problem onto the police who are not equipped to handle this, although they certainly do try.
Wonder where the bedbugs come from... a good tact team would have their week of event numbers for positive community interactions. Now if the air is clear? Pull my finger!
As someone who has had the (dis)pleasure of working in 002 occasionally over the years when assigned to an outside unit, it has always had the least professional desk crew in the city.
The attitudes, the work ethic, and the overall energy in that place is atrocious.
If anyone in a position to help is reading this- try stopping in on 3rd or 1st watch especially to see for yourself. The culture itself in that building is rotten.
This has been a common occurrence since 2000, Smells terrible in the lobby.
Did you notice the brand new gym shoes on ole boy in the far left of the pic?
If they keep messing with the pension I'll be lying out there with them.
Stop picking on Dean. He is grumpy because he got a bad night of sleep. Don O'Neill kept hogging all the blankets. (Dean's in bed with the City! Dean's in bed with the City!)
man i got 8 years on the job and 002 has been like that since ive been on. I worked there one night for a holiday party relief and the roll call was comical at best. The ladies at the desk all have attitudes and think they have chevrons.The lockup is the worst in the city it takes them 20 min to get to your prisoner and they are back there doing nothing. worst run district in the city. Not to mention the facilities or trash. Its a shame im a black officer and this is a so called black district along with 006 but 006 is leaps and bounds better than 002 ! i am ashamed and appaled.

If you were homeless I'm sure you would appreciate it. Try living outside on the streets on a cold chicago night. I became a copper 26 years ago. Before I became the police I had lost my job, apartment and my car. I lived outside for 3 weeks. It was the hardest time of my life. I was able to get a job at a furniture store loading trucks and got back on my feet again eventually before my life was saved and I got this job. I'm ever greatful for this job and I laugh when I hear you people complain about it. I was literally a homeless bum for thee weeks and it was in the winter. Let these people be, it's not easy no matter what the situation is and could happen to anyone.
3/14/2017 12:16:00 AM
A police facility should be secured not open to anyone. How can the desk crew ensure security when people live in the lobby? They are not equipped to care for the homeless? A homeless shelter knows how to care for the homeless and those with mental or medical issues. I can only imagine the smells and risk of disease. This would only happen in Chicago. BTW FOP is too busy to even consider this issue.
The three week homeless cop is going to write a book. "From homeless to Chicago Police Deputy Chief" or " From homeless to merit Chicago Police Deputy Chief" by KR. LOL
dont forget 003 and 011 they do the same shit!
Finally, don't confuse caring, humanity etc. for homeless people with caring for one's own self.
The point is that there should be a place for these homeless, i.e. City Services and NOT laying in the lobby of police stations.
There's quite a difference between caring and caution.
And the truth is the city doesn't really care (other than lip service)so we need to exercise caution, especially when it comes to TB which is extremely contagious in warmer, confined and continued exposure conditions.
We don't need any lectures on caring for the homeless. We know and appreciate the fact that 'by the Grace of God, go I' but that's NO excuse for us to be exposed to this needless danger because the 'City That Works--DON'T!'
As stated, document these conditions and protect yourselves.
So that's where "Karate Man" moved to.....
Why do I never see this in City Hall?
C'mon Rahm, you're a man of the people, (folks too) open the doors!

You are everything that is wring with this job.
A police facility is the LAST place sick, filthy, homless people should be.
The only reason they are there is because Rahm and shortshanks don't/didn't want to properly help them.
There is no money and very few votes in helping the homeless.

I heard that there is a lot of space over at 27th & California that could be used to house these poor waifs. Round 'em up and ship them all over there. Dart can have pizzas delivered and 9 1/2 and Prickwinkle can tuck them in at night.
Looks like a great place for a job fair!!
It's just another way of "Ballerina "sticking it in cop's ear. You won't see homeless like this at City Hall or any fire stations...... but hey we always got extra money stashed away to pay for lawyers to protect illegals from deportation.

I wonder how O.S.H.A. would feel about those work conditions?
Seriously??
That's beyond ridiculous and has got to stop.

Seriously, someone has to call OSHA! There is no way they would allow this at the lobby of any business. Somebody grab a phone and call already.
safety grievance ??? Healthcode violation ??? OSHA complaint??? you wouldn't take out an unsafe squad car (well maybe some of you would). Dean's new squads that he negotiated will be here in 2021....then why expose yourself to this? Doesn't matter if youre a desk dolly or working the street...youre still exposed to disease, smell, lice scabies sickness. etc.

Come on Dean. You admittedly are sinking fast to "Cabbage Patch Kev." But do something for the membership at least this time before an election.

They did in 005 years back and found the junkies used kits in bathroom.
Send the pictures to the news media or to Bobby Rush, Congressman of the United States that drives a foreign SUV while American made vehicles are produced by his constituents in his home town. But I is the congressman and this is a federally leased vehicle, awh hell yeah I don't drive no Ford, that's for y'all.
that has got to smell like open ass.
Blame that right on the DSS and watch lieutenant. They are in charge of the station. Should have never let that happen. Piss poor supervision right there.
If you were homeless I'm sure you would appreciate it. Try living outside on the streets on a cold chicago night. I became a copper 26 years ago. Before I became the police I had lost my job, apartment and my car. I lived outside for 3 weeks. It was the hardest time of my life. I was able to get a job at a furniture store loading trucks and got back on my feet again eventually before my life was saved and I got this job. I'm ever greatful for this job and I laugh when I hear you people complain about it. I was literally a homeless bum for thee weeks and it was in the winter. Let these people be, it's not easy no matter what the situation is and could happen to anyone.
In response to this comment: everyday day when homeless come into our district we direct them to call 311 and wait for human services/catholic charities. Most homeless call then refuse to go to the shelter. Some have been banned from those shelters because they act like ass hats or don't follow the rules. I feel sorry for homeless people too. However there are services available There is no reason a police station on a daily basis should be inundated with homeless sleeping in a lobby. During a snow emergency or heat emergency MAYBE. But even in those situations there is a city service to help them which most refuse A police station is not equipped for this
If the city really gave a shit about these people, they would get CTA buses and park one out in front to use as a warming place. Would keep them out of the station, and still provide a warm shelter, and although tight, it may be safer.
They are the next merit picks waiting to see the Commander.
That's how Northwestern Hospital ER looks every night.
it is at the libraries as well, libraries no longer for reading, learning, but for eating, sleeping, full of dangerous people

Retire people. FOP IS GIVING UP THE 55 and out
"3/13/2017 08:44:00 AM
Doubt this is true.
Even if it is the 55 and out provision remains as long as our current contract is in effect...... so until a new contract is ratified.
That's got to be 2- 2.5 years away."
Nope, it's a side letter agreement, the city can pull it anytime.
I agree with the cop who was formerly homeless that these people need a reprieve from the brutal weather. But I completely disagree that a police department lobby is the place for them. It's not safe for our officers, it isn't healthy for them to be exposed to whatever diseases these poor people have contracted, and there are --and should be-- other locations available as shelters and warming centers. Just not the lobby of the police department.
Instead of pissing away millions on worthless connected contractor friendly projects perhaps Mayor Raccoon Eyes could open up some new shelters to help these people. It is not the fault of the homeless. They have nothing and nowhere to go. Chicago looks like a 3rd World rat hole. We can't take care of our own and we allowed Liberal Democrats to import millions of poor migrants. Forget this Sanctuary City nonsense. Charity begins at home.
Is that the lobby or Roll Call?
They smell better than Tom Dart's hair rug.
What the deuce?!?!!!??
A normal well run department would not allow this, you call for shelter or your out. Most places you need to be buzzed in, not here. Cpd likes to be different, whats going to happen when one of them loses it and decides to fire some rounds. Cpd continues to be a joke.
What about the bed bugs at HQ? Time to call in the exterminator, Bonnie aka Bonita! While" you're at it, clean that Desk! It's worse than an episode of Hoarders! Almost forgot, we need new carpeting in HQ, chairs and cubicles!
That's all for now...
I believe that they were in line early to be interviewed for replacing Fat Head Ed.
Shouldn't the fire marshall be able to put an end to this? This looks like a clear FIRE HAZARD. OSHA also should see this.
Looks like a weak ass commander is stationed there
BLOCKED EXITS
Uniform Fire Code: 1203
Exit Obstructions:
A. Obstructions, including storage, shall not be placed within the required width of an exit (corridor), except projections permitted by the building code. Exits shall not be obstructed in any manner and shall remain free of any material or obstruction, where its presence would hinder or render the exit hazardous.
B. Aisles. Aisles leading to required exits shall be provided from all portions of the building. The width and spacing of aisles shall be maintained as required by the Building and Fire code.
C. Use of Exit Ways. Interior and exterior stairways, smoke proof enclosures, hallways, corridors, vestibules, balconies and bridges leading to a stairway or exit shall not be used in any way that will obstruct their use as an exit or that will present a hazardous condition during egress. This also includes holding CLASSES within a corridor or hallway.
Pretty cut & dry
Flights cancelled?
How much exterior space was provided for the shopping carts?
Does the AlderStooge allow a similar crash pad in his office space?
Was Fire Marshall Bill consulted, seems there could be a violation of Exits, floor space and trip hazards.
Get a CR on the DSS for not providing proper quarters, aid and nourishment for the indigent.
The homeless are not the problem, it's the DC.
I would provide food and drink and tell the homeless that their friends and family are welcome.
The pigeon - stray cat principle.
Overwhelm the lobby, your knothead of a Merit DC will get the message when their shopping carts are left in his parking space.

Limousine Liberalism at its finest. Sure. Liberals want to help the homeless but they want YOU to do it. It's YOUR problem not theirs directly. YOU deal with it.
That is nonsense!! This his a health and safety hazard. Real morons running the Deuce!!!

But this is the "Democratic" way. Actually, a very good way to take over a police building when the revolution comes. All the players in their places, when time comes, offices will be on the street and these idiots will be burning the station down....
Why aren't they (the homeless) on cots in the bsmt of St. Sabina? I guess there's no money to be made. So much for the humanitarian in Father Pfoney.
Just a reminder of the homeless hanging around the station. 019 had a female 300lber hanging in there and everyone knew her. I heard so many times that she don't bother anyone until one midnight shift she was at the corner of Belmont and Western and was in an altercation with a bus driver and Rick Francis pulled up and she attacked him and got his gun and killed him.So please someone get them out of the stations. Only a matter of time one of them will go off on another bum or copper and tragedy will strike. Unreal the bosses let this happen. Very unsafe and unsanitary.Call city services every night on the hour.
what a disgrace the disease and filth, where are the homeless shelters rahm?rahm you closed how many mental health facilities?You mayor gave how many millions of Chicago taxpayers rebate money to hire lawyers to keep illegal invading criminals protected in this corrupt carnage filled city? You mayor,tommy,toni,the 50 the state house, little luis guiterrez,durbin,duckworth,shitkowsky are the problem here the solution is a total forensic federal audit arresting the criminals at the top and finally "draining the swamp" here!
Looks like Zach Fardon U.S. attorney he will not be back, this may be a blessing in disguise for him he left a fierce letter bet he was tired of the democratic lies and bullshit here:
Breaking News
ACLU rips Fardon for 'blindsided attack' on curtailing stop-and-frisk by Chicago police
The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday blasted former U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon for what it characterized as a "blindsided attack" on a 2015 agreement curtailing the Chicago Police Department's use of stop-and-frisk measures. In an open letter released to the media after he left office...
Open letter from former U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon
maybe rahm can move in for a couple of weeks like sweet little jane did back in the cabrini days. What a fucking joke
WOW
This is proof positive of how fucked up this city is from it's leaders the mayor on down to the superintendo and and commanders. I hope all other news outlets in this country get a photo of this shithole. And the command structure sits there with their thumbs up their asses wondering gee...why don't police officers want to enforce the laws. Unfucking believable!!!!!
This is what the DC's house looks like.
Don't be surprised when Shields, McGuire, Merck and Cruz all endorse Kevin Graham after hearing about the asshole move by Dean who hired a firm to leak a bullshit story to the media claiming Kevin lived outside the city. You can bet that Dean will reach out to Rahm to push this story in the media so he can continue his destruction of our union just like the democrats who are pushing for the destruction of our city by opposing law and order and the police. If you are a Trump supporter I know you will vote for Kevin because you have the ability to see through the bullshit. Dean bought the last election by promising McDonough a field rep spot paid for by the members. How much will he cost the members in this election if he is successful???? You know he will be promising each of the unsuccessful presidential candidates a field rep spot for their support. It is high time the members put an end to this practice of buying elections with our money, something that was proposed during Deans administration and he rejected it. I guess he knew he would need to use this pay to play scam again. Dean will be a retiree in 3 months and has no business representing active members.
City council after a full day of rubber stamping.
This is nothing!!! How about the Po who works he radio room on days,
Who can't seem to find her uniforms!!! Yeah that's right
She wears designer clothes, low cut shirts and matching outfits, and her excuse is guess
.......... She's allergic to the uniform!!!! Wtf cotton!!! I think those
Stretch pants are cotton you lazy, useless, medical abuser!!!
And the day lt has the nerve to pick with midnights and their scarfs!!!
I think they should relocate them to City Hall.

I don't need to try living outside on a cold Chicago night, because I'm not mentally ill, drug-addicted, alcohol-addicted, lazy, and unemployable. These people aren't "down on their luck" or just going through a rough patch. These are people who, for the most part, have made a conscious choice to live on the streets. They have chosen not to get jobs and become productive members of society. They have decided to spend their lives accepting handouts, committing crimes, begging and stealing, etc. because it's easier than working to get back on their feet and off the streets. They have no motivation and no reason to better themselves. They don't want to go to a shelter. They don't want jobs. They don't want to change their situation. It couldn't "happen to anyone." It happens to those who choose to let it happen and do nothing about it. You chose to find a job and eventually a career. They have chosen to stay on the streets. This country needs mental health treatment centers, including places where the dangerous and criminally insane are kept locked up instead of roaming the streets. It doesn't need homeless people sleeping on the floor of police stations. Most homeless people carry some sort of weapon. Most have some substance abuse problem. Most have communicable diseases. Most have no love for the police. This is a serious and ridiculous safety issue that should be addressed. Police stations are not homeless shelters. They are not equipped to feed and house the homeless. If you feel so bad for these poor souls, invite them into your home, help them get back on their feet, find them jobs, and solve this problem. 26 years as a police officer and you somehow don't understand this city's homeless problem? I'm guessing the majority of your career was spent in an office.
send them to city hall.
100% every day in 002 horrible
This is ridiculous, all the potential problems with disease and treating people like animals laying all over the floors! Who closed all the mental health facilities? Rahm and his crew of course bet many are in need of mental health care,why can't they just stay at city hall 5th floor big office, then over to the county side 5th floor lots of room,they at police headquarters 5th floor (Wait a minute all the trouble and corruption the 5th floor cause of all this!
On another note been working on a study to answer these questions:
1) How many Chicago police officers have been sickened by cancer and or died due to the results of police stations that had cancer causing substances from asbestos in the walls and in the floor tiles? Unclean air ex-changers in the HVAC (heating,ventilation,Air conditioning systems).
2) How many are being sickened by the excessive mold problems?
3) Why are so many children born with various maladies?autism on the rise?
4) So many people are now reacting negatively to gluten what is in our wheat now that was not added before? Ever look at the size of chicken breasts, the quick development of children rapid maturity?
5) Why so many lactose intolerant what is added to our dairy?
6) Medical marijuana is also being studied the results in pain management and reversal of some cancerous tumors is astounding,and the patients are not experiencing all the negative affects of opiates, we may be on the brink of something positive,as police officers we know that the stress levels due to the political structure, the bosses,and the thugs on street are causing many health issues. We talked to a veteran operating room nurse and she said doctors told her "there is no money in curing a disease!"
Studies like this:
http://www.medicalmarijuanainc.com/tumors-medical-marijuana-research-overview/
Research has shown that cannabis can help inhibit the growth of, and even kill the cells of, cancerous tumors. One of the major cannabinoids found in cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD), has shown to inhibit the progression of cancers located in the breast, lung, prostate and colon in several animal trials3,7,8,15. CBD has also shown to cause a dramatic drop in both mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and the viability of the cells that make up brain tumors (glioma), thereby having an antiproliferative effect. The administering of CBD to mice has shown to significantly inhibit the growth of subcutaneously implanted human glioma cells6. One study found that administering a combination of CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), another major cannabinoid found in cannabis, four hours before radiation treatment increased the radiosensitivity of cancer cells, which caused an increase in cell autophagy and apoptosis10.
Every officer that is working when these individuals are there should submit an exposure report. In the box for what you were exposed to write "airborne pathogens". Do this A.S.A.P.!! Rest assured, you work there you were exposed. As a Lt if it were my place of business they would get placed in a shelter designed for overnight "guests" or they would leave. F.O.P. and PBPA needs to immediately lodge a grievance that the members are working in an unsafe environment, with full and complete knowledge of the department administration. It's not just unsafe when they are there; how is the area cleaned? I highly doubt that it is cleaned to safely remove all of the bodily fluids, and critters, that these individuals leave behind. Remember, we are authorized to carry tools to protect us (guns, tasers, spray, etc.) and one of those tools is the grievance process. Utilize all of the tools in the box; STAY SAFE!
It smells like ass in here!
boy you would never see that in a police station in dupage county let alone Scottsdale,az
Maybe they can set up some cots so these people will be more comfortable ??
If anything this shows that even the homeless people feel safer by the police. Which makes all the rhetoric that people are afraid of them and don't trust them incorrect. I pray for our city and first responders everyday as the answers to the problems our city faces seem very hopeless but just like I believe there are more good people in the city then bad, and there are way more good police than bad, I believe we can make our city safe and proud again. I heard there are more homeless than beds available at shelters. Nobody wants to see people sleeping in the cold.
Call Human Services, if they don't get in the van when it shows up you kick them out.
A couple of CFD firemen, holding a 3" high pressure hose, connected to a American LaFrance pump truck could have this matter cleaned up in 10 minutes. Never happen though, the revrunds, Fr. Flakey, Jesse, Toni, BLM, community activists, AA alderthieves all will cry racism. So, let them live with this shit. It don't bother me because I don't. But I do very much sympathize with the officers who have to come in contact with this trash and smell it. As a newly departed citizen of Chicago (now relocated to Flagstaff,AZ) I thank you for your years of protection, dedication and perseverance in continuing to serve in a shithole created by liberal Democratic politicians. May those of you near retirement, enjoy your twilight years because you earned it.
There are numerous shelters but many homeless choose not to abide by the rules.
I agree with the copper who was homeless for three weeks and has 26 years on. This is one of the greatest jobs in the world for the right person. The benefits of this career FAR outweigh the bad side. I laugh to myself whenever I see people complaining about it.
I could see this on a very temporary basis - say if there was a natural disaster, some kind of terrorist attack, or super duper cold sub-zero temps, EVERY shelter and warming center was full up AND if we didn't coddle and welcome illegals with this Sanctuary City bullshit. But every person wanting to snuggle up in the lobby would have to be frisked - and that's an issue in itself eh?
But as soon as all that disaster crap passed - GET THE FUCK OUT. Then I'd have the guys in flame throwers come by to sterilize everything.
On an ongoing basis? This is completely fucked up.
The desk personal are to busy playing candy crush to do anything and must really like the smell of crap.

What has Dean done that has made the Life of the Active Duty FOP Cop better since he got in?
Please list his Massive accomplishments here so the people that post or just read can see them.
Did they all get eggs Benedict for breakfast?
The walking dead have taken over the lobby, 002 needs negan and lucille right about now.
Same thing in 003. The 1st watch let them sleep in the lobby no matter what's the weather. They strip naked in the washroom and wash up. One also spread his waste on the wall.
Rahm should invite them all ( along with the tired, meek, BLM, etc) to City Hall 5th floor and spring for Pizzas !
They're waiting for the tac team to finish rollcall.
Does anybody remember the one armed guy that lived in 002? This individual also had mail delivered to the district.
3/14/2017 06:55:00 AM
Which arm? There were two one-armed guys. They were known as Leftgone and Ritegone. Leftgone had his right arm and Ritegone had his left arm.

The C/O feels guilty...
We keep hearing about the lieutenant test cheating scandal. Along with that, people keep bringing up Phil Jr's whole tac team from 011 being promoted to sergeant after obtaining the test or answers. Who else was on that team that got promoted to Sgt?
It was like that 18 year ago..... actually about 15 more laying there back then . Desk crew had to light incense all night long . It is all the commanders choice. Of course only on 1st watch, not days when the commander will be there
disease , what about terrorist attack
homeless should never be allowed to sleep in a Police Facility
Open up fieldhouses and have park district security baby sit
Safety Issue , Dean Angelo FOP , PBPA wgere the F are you
Chuck Gowdie , Andy Shaw do your job
what if a coordinated attack was made in Police districts
who is WC,XO ,Desk Sgt
grow a set , kick them out , order a CTA bus as a warming center
Rahm , how is this allowed ? Don't wait for a BLM, FALN, ISIS attack
Officer Rick Francis EOW 02 Jul 2008 was killed by a homeless person who had spent the night in the 019 disctrict lobby. She walked across the street, got on a bus, and then everything went sideways. The homeless belong in SHELTERS not Police Stations!
http://www.cpdmemorial.org/fallen-heroes/p-o-richard-m-francis-5276/
We don't allow that anymore in the 7th district. You either go with human services or you get out. On 2 occasions we had one guy live in our bushes for about 3 months. Then a lady lived on our bench for about 6 months You gotta put and end to that. It's not safe.
Oh the humanity. What ever happened to living under the expressway & viaducts?
These are obama's Forgotten Brothers Keepers.
These people have been turned away from one shelter to the next for many reasons.
Most if not all probably have no ill will against the police (anymore).
But:
CPD cannot be the social service agency to look after them.
Millions of dollars go out to these non-profits and they get the right to refuse aiding the homeless.
Rahm should be ashamed to have turned his back on these destitute American citizens.
But he isn't, he's pledged more tax money to illegals and law breakers.
Arrestees are getting free legal counsel now, compliments of Chief Judge Tim Evins & the Cook Co Public Defenders Office.
How about some social service and simple housing for the homeless?
Let's see if the FakeNews outlets pick up on this blatant RahmEmanuel Failure.
Criminals, illegal immigrant refugees and homeless are piling up as fast as the murder victims and Rahm has done nothing but complain that the CPD needs reforming.
When Rahm turns his back on the less fortunate, CPD steps up and goes beyond what any of the other City agencies would ever do.
Thankless job, but that's what we signed up for.
