Shorthanded?
Perhaps the off-duty coppers can start a Citizens Patrol?
Four cars up. No supervision. But don't worry - as soon as that worthless aldercreature gets his Section 8 building installed, we're sure that calls for service will go through the roof and maybe 016 will have eight whole cars up overnight.

I would rather first move to canaryville over 016 any day. 016 is quickly turning into 025.
Why do you elect a libtarded idiot into office?
" somebody " else knows this too.🤔
This shit has been a problem for the past three years. What has Dean the Dream done about it. NOTHING! Big surprise. By all means elect him again. He's done a great job for all of us.
Pay attention. The "investigative reporters" will demean the lowly, the less political elite. No gusto to take on the legitimate frauds who push corrupt/f'd up policy. They won't push Rahm or Preckwinkle or Madigan. An article here and there will subside the critics, they think. People are watching.
Section 8 is a good thing. It allows the poor and minorities to come up in the world. How do I know this, my alder person, my mayor and my congress people all told me so.
I left the city 4 years ago, packed up and moved--- they can build section 8 anywhere they want to. I really don't care--- oh yeah, let's see Rham taxes from 2005--- lol
Wow that is absolutely insane! I'm sorry but if a single car comes in with a single piece of activity they should have the crap kicked out of them in the parking lot. Let the idiots who let it get that bad explain all the zeros for the period.
On a related note about a year ago l ran into someone from O'Hare. They said the 1st watch usually ran with 6 to 10 people and it was a rate night if they had 10. So this encompasses 1 runway car, 1 perimeter car and 5 terminals. That sounds dangerous.
I once heard a mush supervisor say that 016 doesn't need the same manpower as ghetto districts because the so-called nice districts "police themselves". While that may have been partially true at one time, it certainly isn't the case now. The savages have poisoned just about every part of this city. Eventually in places like 016, it will be up to the good people to do what they have to do given the disparaging shortage of police officers. It's not like the criminal justice system helps anyways, it is designed to protect criminals. Rights and special treatment for criminals; more taxes, no representation, and victimization for the good people. The sleeping giant needs a reawakening.
When will the Sheeple wake up and start making some real noise?
Rahm and FatHeadEd are fucking you out of adequate police protection despite the fact that you Sheeple pay lots and lots of taxes.
They steal those resources from you because they want to have tons of resources for "the community" aka the ghetto.
The pathetic pandering continues.
I don't know who is a bigger AlderIdiot - Arena or Tunney. Probably Arena since attempt to bring Section 8 housing will create more crime and victims while Tunney's main stumble is believing Rahm's BS that manpower would not be diminished after the merger of 019&023.
Time for those voters to seek an alternative candidate.
Retired .38 spl +P
The city that doesn't work !
Been like that for years in 16. Guess those ministers and preachers up there got to speak up for service like they do on the westside.
Did he really call me a subhuman puddle of DNA? A knuckle dragger? Pretty big talk for an unemployed (in 2 years) guy.
I'm upset. 1631R gets to go in to pick up his date. Why can't I pick up mine?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Shorthanded on the Chicago Police Department but yesterday the mayor had a big news event he was touting the hiring graduation of 381 police officers from McCormick Place the mayor said they had to use that facility because they had so many graduates they need all the space but what he did not inform the pet media media is that we're only 80 patrolman 301 where promoted sergeants and detectives talk about a liar and he did not say anything about the hundreds of Chicago police officers returning the year by the way look over here $100 million in more found money to build a brand-new facility to make CTA rail cars;
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/03/16/cta-to-break-ground-on-new-100-million-rail-car-factory/
The mayor must have billions store and T I F funds no extra money for police even though the retiring quitting United States attorney from Chicagoland said the mayor was policing on the cheap which obviously caused all the bloodshed murder and mayhem. Hey Kenny has the mayor made the payment to our beleaguered pension fund which is only at 25% funding ? If not get on the phone turn off the phone line find out what's going on it is your job is also your job to work on illuminating that gold braid bill that is taken so much many millions from the pension fund that we cannot afford the fire department eliminated the gold braid bill now it is for you to step up and do the same if you cannot do this you Kenny and all the rest of the board need to resign.
With the lack of cars at OEMC could finally have no OT for dispatchers in Zone 1.
There is a bright side to everything!
John Arena is a turd and needs to be removed from office.
that's what you get for paying outrageous taxes!
Criminal mismanagement. So many officers not working the street, and they can't scrape up two beat cars. No one can be bothered to work a beat car anymore.
Meanwhile, the ghetto districts are flush with officers. Serving the community that hates them and doesn't want them but can't help continuing to call them.
Not to mention how a staffing level this low is a safety issue. At what point is this grievable or grounds for a lawsuit? When there's only two officers working entire district on a shift?
Arena is GARBAGE. Hey John, I like all those empty storefronts on both sides of your office. Cute how you put your kids school art work in the windows of those empty buildings so it doesn't look bad for the nieghborhood
Arena is laughing at u all
No 1612, 12 and no 20 Sector cars
Wait, we can date on duty? Since when? I'm always the last to know.
Just keep on paying the high taxes, and let's throw some section 8 in the mix, and, oh by the way, no police for you.
This picture doesn't seem right. Since last November,016-1st watch has had all beat cars manned, one wagon working, and at least one traffic car up. And 4 out of the 7 nights in the week, 1 or 2 rapids have been up. This maybe a picture from last year or this picture was taken after 0530 (which does not explain the Tac team still on the board).
016-1st Watch has manpower and that manpower responds to many calls for service through out their tour.
The Commander and Captain are good to the troops and 7 out of the 8 Lts are good people to work for.
Of Course, 016-ALL WATCHES, should have more manpower(home front, tax base, etc)
The twerp mayor and kidney beans couldn't give a rats ass if there are no police patrolling in the 016th district as long as the ghetto is fully staffed and covered. Because those officers can be potentially sued for doing their jobs, we all know the rule of law ceases to exist on the west and south sides of this shit hole city...
Throw in an HBT incident and there's no one left.
019th district crime and disorder is spreading west ward into district 016th......just wait and continue to vote for the same business as usual lawyers who make deals to fill their pockets with financial gains........look at the aldermen who represent this residential district 016,
in charge of the Zoning Committee and
Housing Committee....
ordinances are drafted and introduced for approval before the city council hold these elected representatives accountable at the ballot box...
Create your Most Wanted List at the ballot box.....
Someone will end up being harmed and a lawyer is going to demonstrate that at least part of why it happened is because of the massive understaffing of so called "low crime" areas. The "or should have known" factor will come into play to prove negligence and the City will experience another yuge payout.
Oh and on a side note, an afterthought to politicians... a real person will be dead, or raped or shot n robbed or hey maybe all three.
Protect the home land! Thugs with tats in their face are creeping from 025 to 016,into River Grove, EW park, Norridge and Hardwood Heights. God help us all.

They are still extremely short handed, so is Midway nice budget airlines pay through the feds for security, where does the excess millions go? whose pocket? Ginger Evans hello any news on arming the DOA police you know for the safety of the traveling public?It is your ballpark commissioner what are you doing? do you have a clue? crickets!
I work in a "busy district" and we get a ton of PPO's. Seems that everytime when the oder comes for them to get sent to 16 they make a phone call and stay in the hood. Why work midnights in 16 when you can stay in 15 on days and get taken care of? How many people are assigned to 016 but detailed to a different district pushing a beat car?
Not surprised the highly taxed areas with the cowardly weak alderman get less police services!Then we have over here in the bag for Angelo?:
For the FOP Election I am endorsing Dean Angelo’s entire ticket.
http://www.retiredchicagopoliceassoc.com/NewsLetters/newsletter_rcpa_february2017.pdf
Interesting news letter Dean was busy attracting votes
Retirees Whose Membership Has
Elapsed or Expired Can Return to the FOP
for complying with this critical legislation and now with
the help of the Illinois Legislature (SB777) the 90% can
has again been kicked down the road to year 2055. And
again, our pension fund will be selling important assets
because of this.
To be fair, lets also put some blame on our city council
members and certainly the finance committee and its
Chair, Alderman Burke, as none of them stepped up for
us, the ones that would be the first responders to their
homes or for their families in an emergency or possibly
life threatening crisis. And finally without throwing a
chair at Rahm to keep his attention, I would tell him
about my 32 years of service to this city. There were
broken bones, knocked out teeth, stabbed with a syringe,
pushed off the back of a moving truck, knocked off a
roof into a garbage can, several shootings, a nut job that
bit me and ripped skin off my arm with his teeth, locked
in a building with gas cans hanging from a ceiling and
exploding into fire, oh ya, I almost forgot the gunshot
wound to my right
The RETIREE COMMITTEE sent a recommendation to
President Angelo to allow retirees whose membership
has expired or elapsed and were not allowed bac in the
FOP under a “previous administration”. Dean Angelo
and his Board of Trustees sent this to the Board and it
was UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. What this means is
that a former member can come back into the FOP for
only the current year’s dues. I personally want to let you
know that it was Dean and his Trustees that brought this
to the table. If you know of any retiree who would like
to return to the FOP, kindly have them call Doreen at the
FOP office, 312-773-7776. This is HUGE!

OT: 017 keeps getting worse. Slowest district in the city with the worst bosses. No ISRs means we are on double secret probation. What's wrong Sgt PJ, are there no crack whores in 017 to keep you busy?
Look here losing 8 coppers and worried about this! we are losing how many? Watched the "graduation" yesterday with 381 coppers, touted as the biggest graduation ever, but they neglected to say only 80 were recruits all the rest are already on getting promotions to sergeant and detectives, kind of dishonest again correct media?

Hey idiot, a lot of us live here. If police work matters anywhere it's on the home front. Keep getting activity in the ghetto where 90% of the people hate you and nothing will change.
Spread the wealth. Highest taxed neighborhoods getting nothing.
No Sector 20 coverage...again. What, the 016 tact Lt won't open his mouth?
Where's the most likely spot were the urchins from 015/011 come shopping.
Stand up to Flunky Special Ed and his Merit Hacks.
So who's the looney that keeps approving the tact team to be detailed out?
Don't depend on Section 8'Arena for help, he want 1000 new residents to keep his job next election.
Maybe Ald. Nap - 41st should be made aware.
I call bullshit on this one. The other cars have not logged in yet so they do not appear on the screen. We have been getting time due denied with traffic cars up. A post like this is only gonna make it worse for us trying to get time off...

Shorthanded?! That ain't nutin kid.
Area 2 (south) has 6, and I repeat six, Detectives assigned to midnights along with 0 (zero) Sgts. That is the entire watch, not just who's working. Six people total.
On a good night "we" have three Detectives maximum, working.
What the hell is going on out there?!
Check it, if you don't believe me.
What have we become?
7 fuckin cars patrolling the largest geographic district in the city of Chicago, shit we have 1 beat in 16 that is bigger than the entire 15th District. Absolutely deplorable.
Is the job description "Pickup Date" code for a hooker sting?

Alderfool areana doesn't want his voter base arrested or put in 26th and Cal.
Is that the night of the HBT incident when cars were re-assigned to Citywide 2 line-up?
Sounds like the 005th district on days. All the cars are in a "Box" on "Foot" or on a "Mission." Supervisors never answer the radio except the female Lieutenant "599" who micromanages everything from her desk. Nobody to handle any jobs, what a joke of a place to work.
How about that joke of an academy graduation with Rahm spinning 350 graduates. The PPO's don't even make up for the Sgt's and Det.'s promoted on stage with him. City Hall LIES! Rahm is going to be vulnerable on the manpower issue in 2019. He's not going to get the numbers up to what he promised. And, any potential candidate opposing him will be able to prove it.
Theory - The west and south sides are staffed to the gills and have every unit imaginable working in their district. There is plenty of section 8 housing in these districts. Maybe it's an end around ploy to get more officers in the district by raising the crime rate. Since people seem to think that there is no need for officers because it is a "slow" district, if we raise the crime rate to levels of a "fast" district we can get more officers. (sarcasm use for the uninitiated)

How do I know this, my alder person, my mayor, and my congress people *** who do NOT live anywhere close to where section 8 is or will be and who would be on the phone with the commander in a heartbeat demanding action if section 8 entrepreneurs decided to hang out in front of their houses *** all told me so.
Obama has left the country just as Sessions was printing up his indictment no doubt a spy in the building probably a Chinese spy.
Dean just fucked every retiree who has been paying their dues since they retired by letting those retirees and many of them supervisors back into our union for $40.00. I am a retiree and have been paying union dues since retiring in 1997. So fuck you Dean and I hope the retirees who have been paying faithfully for years stick it in your ass. The past practice for anyone who wanted back into FOP before Dean, was pay the dues in arrears and you are back in. He just let a ton of retired supervisors back into our union for peanuts.

Very little creep involved my friend,After the bubble burst in 08,our white van with a ladder rack driving eastern European neighbors who bought apartment buildings under the no money down ARM programs discovered section 08,what a Country this America ! Didn't you notice things start to change with who was moving in and who was moving out? Well now it's been close to ten years and the "owners" have moved away and just stop by to pick up the rent and check on the wrought iron fences,new windows and other improvements that your tax money paid for courtesy of uncle Sam. The sleepy 16 is no longer sleepy with less Police and the burbs you mention PDs are still in the duck and go home first watch in Mayberry mode they have always followed. Take a drive or walk the dog in the wee small hours,there aint no Police to be seen,the good people are driving home with a frightened rabbit look on their face and more and more rats are to be seen with an ever increasing bold look on their face driving 60 mph on Harlem with the music loud and the smell of weed louder or slow rolling the side streets hunting with no fear. I live in one of the burbs you mention and drive through the others and 16 every day,they are here with more coming, there is no more homeland,hasn't been for several years.Loved the area,raised a family and had many good times,would be glad to fight the good fight but my good neighbors have left or are putting up for sale signs and the others are sheep with ADT signs in the front yard.We lost...the politicians and greed won.

Tunney didn't believe the Mayor's BS, but like all of us knew it was a done deal. The manpower dropped because cops bid out, retired, were promoted, etc. That's Tunney's fault how?
12/13 lost a bigger percent of officers. Why no hate for the eight aldermen that "let" that merger happen?
"The sleepy 16 is no longer sleepy with less Police..."
Agreed. These days, I'd rather live on the northwest end of 017, or even the northwest corner of 024, than some parts of 016.
Never thought I'd see the day...
When I first came on the job, 008 and 016 were known as "God's country". Welp, 008 went shithole many moons ago. I doubt 016 will get that bad. Still, things are changing in the great northwest, my friends.

Talking about down cars...Here on 3rd watch in 009, we are lucky if we barely have POs working to man the beat cars. We have no rapids. One of the beat car is a wagon. Your back up is miles away if you need one. We are lucky if we have one 06 car up. They put all the major manpower on 1st watch. For the size of the district, the manpower is a big joke. 009 had the 3rd highest homicide rate, if I am not mistaken. This summer is gonna be a slaughter house and brass will just keep throwing POs under the bus for not violating civil rights.
Maybe take the bus?

don't worry that's all about to change in 8 days. 14 new detectives are going to midnights. If you want to complain about area south you are gonna have a huge complaint in January of 2018 when the 10 hour days are gone. Area west is officially happening and all 4 areas are now going to be on the same schedule within the detective division. Area two gets a lot of shootings but of the 3 areas it gets the least amount of jobs... the powers that be don't feel that there needs to be a carrot for the detectives to chase anymore to get them south... they are about to have hundreds of young detectives that they can force to go there thus no longer needing the 10 hour day. If you don't believe me then go have a chat with Winter Jackson who is the head of HR for the Department. Also before everyone says it cant be taken away its in the contract you are wrong.... Its not in the contract, the agreement is called a Memorandum of Understanding. an MOU can be broken simply by the city saying we are changing things. Its not in good faith but it cant be arbitrated, even if it is arbitrated the schedule cant be brought back by the arbitrator, just some type of compensatory award and a slap on the wrist for the city. Its an MOU, not a binding contract.

Who is this Dan Shields possibly? If Bill fucked up by not sending in the letter than why in the world would Mike Shields state in the newsletter that it was his responsibility to send in the letter and in hindsight he should have sent the letter in on time i? Why did Mike Shields promise the membership at the General meeting that he would send the letter by the weekend 4 days before the letter was due? Why did Mike Shields ask if the postage meter could be turned back to reflect the letter was sent in on time? Why did Mike Shields fire his personal secretary who begged him every day to sign the letter she prepared for him in order to meet the deadline? Keep up your false narrative and fake news , loser.
