Unwanted Attention
Just when you think a scandal has run its course, something else pops up:
- Chicago's inspector general has issued a subpoena to the Illinois Tollway regarding a top airport security official whom the tollway fired after a female employee accused him of sexual harassment, several sources familiar with the situation told the Tribune on Friday.
Inspector General Joe Ferguson subpoenaed the tollway, the sources said, before the Tribune reported Friday that Jeffrey Redding, a point person in the city's investigation of the United Airlines passenger-dragging debacle, was terminated in 2015 for what tollway officials called "multiple violations of Illinois Tollway personnel policy and procedures."
The female tollway employee had alleged that Redding sought sex and money in exchange for work-related favors.
So we have definitive evidence that someone who is accused of a substantial breach of workplace rules doesn't really suffer the lose of a job in Chicago, they just get shuffled to another spot.
Our readers have long memories, too:
Our readers have long memories, too:
- So here is a guy who did not make 20 years on CPD was working for the inspector general, and iad reporting and and maligning coppers they gets a big job at tollway huge salary bump, but says he is not guilty yet leaves the tollway takes a pay-cut at aviation and yet he is in charge of aviation security? this would be laughable if not true! attention media here is low hanging fruit from where you get your news look into who is this guys clout, talk to the women that made the complaints they deserve a nice amount of money after what bouncing ball guy cannot hold a job is moved?
Questions to ask:
A) Why did he leave iad? was he involved in something?
B) why did he leave inspector generals office?
C) How can a patrolman rank get this huge pay boost and job at tollway?
D) Says he was not guilty but gets another great job no experience in this type of work and takes tens of thousands of dollars in a pay cut?
E) How did ginger interview him and miss this? Who put him in and pulled gingers strings?
Golly, another IAD scandal that was covered up maybe? That entire Bureau seems to be populated by a lot of shady characters - almost like a culture of corruption that might lead to.... exam cheaters.
Corruption is never "rooted out" in Chicago - it's just moved around. And the media won't put two-and-two together lest they upset their "access."

Actually, no scandal at iad. His co-workers liked him and thought he was nuts to up and quit, but he knew he had something better lined up. No insight on the other stuff, though.
Reminds me of "Quarters" being bounced around.
Why do I think that the "Mob" is somehow connected to Redding? Maybe I'm just cynical.
The Chicago TROLLWAY Saga.
I can see the moron wanting sex, but asking for $
in return for favors? Get a job, Bozo, and make your own
stash like a man. Also, could not pull Two-Zero, yet returns
As a phantom to judge CPD. I can't cut the mustard, but I can
judge you or write your evaluation. Everybody seen that before.
This shit gonna kill off Blago while this moron bumbles through the
System. Had to have many Patron Saints to get this far. Choke on
a Clark Bar, asshole.
Rumor is Dean Sr is going to take over ohare aviation security while Rahm pushes privatizing.
Speaking of "Unwanted Attention."
A little birdy had chirped about
how honorably retired, unclouted Policemen
can forget about applying for any municipal jobs.
Especially at OIG.
No matter how good your credentials are.
Somebody posted on another thread about
applying for a laborer spot and quitting CPD
if they got the call.
Funny but kinda sad though.
Ot. Had to laugh listening to newsradio 78 the other day. Seems Cuba Gooding Sr was found slumped over dead in his car. An elderly man, I assumed natural causes. They played his most famous hit "everybody plays the fool sometime " as they went on to describe the liquor bottle and drug paraphernalia found next to him in the vehicle.
The only thing that impresses me about our local "journalists" is their ability to spread extremely biased information while simultaneously jamming various politicians' cocks down their throats. Talk about multitasking!
He's sitting because he came close to destroying POTUS Hussein, period.
You know what I love about the merit promotee's is that they are supposedly promoted because they would make great leaders. They're so good that the city just has to promote them over hundreds of people that worked their ass of for legit the promotion. The kicker is, almost all of them end up in caps offices or commander offices or supervising a handful of people. they are supposed to be the ones we just can't do without and here they are supervising 2 people in a caps office. Or the cmdr's bitch Sgt with absolutely nobody to supervise. I wish there was a way to find out where all the merit guys and girls ended up along the way. Majority of them nowhere near a watch and nowhere near actual police work. Frickin joke.
Corruption is like a groundhog. Unless you kill
it, it just moves to another hole in the ground.
I dont know is it wrong to expect sex from minions at work? Did she have nice feet, and how dies an ex patrolman land 2 separate jobs that a exempt would for either one of the 2. Rahms involved or some other big name Pol.
pol.
don't tell this has anything to do with that Davina Ward & Company the crew of cheaters at IAD......
Okay well he was a former cop so I am sure several posters here had dealings with him. Waiting on the real details. Only in Chicago. If you have clout, the rules are different for you.
He is a Rat turn out the lights case closed
He will find a job at the Forest Preserve next.
It is not in the media because this is the "Chicago Way". This stuff has been going on for decades and does not seem to end. It is not news anymore. But your last paragraph is spot on too. The media wants access and if you burn the pols or the sports team owners, you will not have access. Your competitor will. These are corrupt people from those who supposedly have the public trust be they officials or the media outlets be they the TV stations or newspapers. The social and political corruption extends back into the journalism schools too.
And this is the guy investigating the coppers at airport! United said they will not discipline any employees but this guy wants the coppers possibly gone? Ginger wtf is going on? This should rise to the level of a federal investigation to look into collusion with this guy! Were the women paid for silence? The media voraciously went after President Trump for just making a comment for a tv sow when he was an actor this guy is definitely a ad actor! The police deserve nothing more nothing less than the united airlines employees received this guy deserves an investigation and who got him the job name the clout? If any copper any as a matter of fact city employee he/she would be on the never hire list for any government job, and since this happened during employment any pension problems for him? Ferguson full investigation welcomed invite the attorney general Sessions in you know like the elected invites the Feds in to investigate the lowly street coppers squeeze him bet he has a great story!
Jeffrey you Worked in iad and inspector generals office squeezed the people and got them to talk correct? Now you need to talk your turn funny how the door swings both ways!
The Chicago way at its best. Where is the news media on this?
This could go somewhere since he is ex CPD and since the media loves to investigate ex cops.
Chuckie?
Pam?
O wait, the mayor put him in place because of his clout?
Nothing to see here
OT....WHEEEEZZZZEEEE more then likely will be heading either to mass transit or the airport,YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST....WHEEEEZZZZEEEE!!!!!!!
This is the same guy that helped disband CHA police you know where those coppers lost their jobs:

Page 9 special service award!
then this no explanation:
And Toll Operations Chief Jeffrey Redding left Aug. 11 after nine years. Tollway officials gave no explanation for Redding's departure, saying they did not comment on personnel matters.
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20150819/news/150818864/
AP world news another black eye for Ginger who hired this guy?
Deputy Aviation Commissioner of Security Jeff Redding told the Chicago Tribune (http://trib.in/2plwOsx ) he had a consensual relationship with a toll collector but that wasn't the reason why he thought he was fired. However, the Tribune obtained a Tollway memo in which an assistant Illinois attorney general wrote that Redding's behavior "raised serious sexual harassment issues" and "warranted immediate termination."
The memo is based on an interview with the unidentified toll collector who describes instances when she felt compelled to have sexual relations with Redding.
According to the memo, the employee said Redding "expected sexual favors or money in exchange for work-related advancements or favors, and that threats were made by Mr. Redding indicating her job could be in jeopardy."
Redding, who was hired under a Democratic administration, said he believes he was terminated during the first year of Gov. Bruce Rauner's term so the Republican could hire his own workers. Redding strongly denied the female employee's allegations of coercion.
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/illinois/articles/2017-04-21/official-investigating-united-dragging-fired-from-former-job
Hope the females involved watch their backs and hopefully the office of U.S. attorney Jeff sessions is summoned to look into more corruption here immediately that would be "change we can believe in"
To think this idiot is in charge of an investigation of police officers and has been throughout his career going after the defenseless now hopefully "law and order" will prevail!
Come on media seek out the females harassed maybe the law firm representing the so called "doctor" can represent the females, gee wonder how many females in iad and inspector generals office have stories this would be a great class action lawsuit!

Congratulations SCC on being able to make heads or tails out of the biggest run-on thought ever submitted to you
FYI Guys and Gals. Your favorite rock star "RETIRED" Rich AguliAR is back full time upstairs as a FOP REP. Step right up and be first in line to be represented by a fully fledged retiree protecting your rights in due process. Tweety Bird says " I thought I saw a AguliAR Cat in the contract negotiation room?" " I DID!!... I DID See a AguliAR Cat in the contract negotiation room!!!" Guess AguLiAR's retirement status is different than Disabilty Deano's. Whos Deano? Oh.. that guy we kicked out because he is retired. Guys and Gals looks like FOP is off to a fabulous start. What's old is new again.
Who is his "Juice"? Yes, there is a "Culture" of Corruption in virtually Every Unit of City Government in Shitcaga. And Tax-Payers pay, because it provides inferior service. We must cease to view Corruption as a cop taking money for a minor traffic violation. Shitcaga Corruption must be viewed in its Totality, which encompasses every aspect of the quality of life and service for the average citizen; to the actual way City employees see themselves. City workers accept, that no matter how well they perform their jobs, they may not advance or be recognized, without a Sponsor. This is why you can have the inferior service that residents have come to accept, as Shitcaga Values. I cannot recall a single instance, where a corrupt Shitcaga employee went down, taking his Sponsor with him. Who was Acosta's Sponsor? Who is this Mope at Aviation's Sponsor? Who is the sponsor for the incompetent heading Chicago City Colleges Security? Who was the Sponsor for De -Escalante at NEIU? Who makes sure that people, after showing incompetence or causing "Problems" at one City job, land six figure jobs in some other public entity. These incompetents take over jobs that are not advertised in the newspaper; these are high paying jobs that are known to a very few. And in turn, they bring in "Their People", so the System of Corruption continues. Somewhere out there, is a Patronage Coordinator, a "Clout Job Fairy", who makes sure these incompetents are taken care of and never given low paying jobs. There are Patrol Officers on the Chicago Police Department with Doctorate Degrees, Master Degrees and Law Degrees, from Prestigious Institutions of learning. I am not talking about the guys who went to Calumet College, because the City paid their tuition and the School promised to not fail them. Yet nobody goes anywhere without a Clout! Ferguson, with his FBI experience is still an idiot, if it has taken him this long to realize, "Nuttin in dis City is legit!". Take care of each other. Do nothing more than answer calls, Rahm's career is drawing to an Ugly End. The VanDyke Trial is coming, and will prevent Turd Rahm from a Turd Term. Baby "G"
I was acquainted with him years ago. He was a police agent assigned to Internal Affairs. He got a job offer with the tollway authority that almost doubled his salary and he went for it, just shy of 20 years with the department. Many people tried to talk him out of it, to just wait until he completed 20 years but he wouldn't have it.
He wasn't under any kind of investigation or in any trouble with the job when he left. His conduct off the job I don't know. The stuff at the tollway authority I don't know either. I can only say he left the department in good standing just shy of 20 years.
hum Jonny quarters!
So many cheaters on that test how on god's name can this not be exposed!
He's toast there's a wave of hit pieces about he and his department to be realeased. Expect a name from the past that is also a classic golf tourney in Georgia to take over and a former female Marine Unit Cmdr from CPD to added to their department to try and reign in an out of control bunch of Cowboys. The Lt and Sgts are gone as well for allowing a group of employees to run unchecked and draw the interest of the IG for double dipping and then bragging about it in roll call. There's hours of Reno 911 like videos of roll calls and craziness that document this and Rahm was speechless but will use this steady trickle to deflect from impending JVD Trial over hot summer months. Very very strange bunch of guys.
In the past, Department of Aviation was considered a source of patronage jobs. Then Mauer took over and tried to make changes, improve the agency. He was fired because of politics with Andolieni, Daley's girl. Then they bring in a CFD battalion chief, with NO law enforcement experience to head the agency. At least he used a former CPD detective to make changes. This detective was very effective; raising hiring standards, and improving training for officers. Again because of politics, he was moved out and they have a new chief. Redding is clueless with DOA. Hiring standards were lowered and numerous questionable candidates were hired. DOA has become a political football. DOA relies on politics to appoint supervisors. hence, no in-service training. With the right leadership, the agency could be effective. The blog asked the right question: why was he hired as the chief after being fired by the toll way authority for sexual harassment? The Chicago way.
The word is he was forced out of CPD cause he got caught living outside the city. "Forced" isnt the same as "fired" which is what would happen to any of us. And since the lowest on the Ladder knew of this and his IL. Tollway shenanigans you would think Ginger "I know Noooothing" Evans would know. She didnt even know "Police" was still on uniforms and cars even tho she walked by them every day.
SGT. Schultz and Commandant Klink would be proud.
As Illinoisans, we should no longer be surprised by corruption, deceit, nepotism, cronyism, inefficiency, scandals and payoffs. Living here (and especially the NE corner of the state) is like swimming through a sewage treatment plant. If anything, we should be surprised if we don't encounter something foul.
I wasn't sure on how to send an email to you. But this was in my mailbox. Might be interesting to hear her lies.
Maybe even ask her some questions that will put her on the spot to what she plans on doing.

Nobody, I repeat NOBODY, leave the job less then a year from receiving his pension unless he is forced out. Work IAD and you get to do a whole lot of favors for people, how the hell else you think they get promoted so much. There isnt a squirrels amount of IQ in that entire fucking unit.

Typical of the rotten corruption in this county and city.
At a time when sole focus of the CPD at O'Hare should the very real possibility of a violent mass casualty attack or multiple attacks on commercial airliners they are jnstead tasked with trying to undo stupidity thrust upon them by children at Aviation who are running around playing cops and robbers with 0 Supervision. When the 2 nicest Veteran officers in the CPD Unit (TA & DH)have run ins 2 days in a row and get motherfucked by the same idiot at Aviation it should have been dealt with by their supervisors, instead the same goof rides around throwing down hard stares at ALL CPD personnel waiting to provoke a bad response to put on YouTube. All the bosses should immediately be shown the door.
What kind of $300,000 a year non-Chicagoan Idiot Aviation Commissioner hires some basically unknown, for a six-figure Deputy Commissioner Security Poisition and DOES NOT check his Background ? He's only one of many hundreds clout appointed hacks filling in patronage voids.
Kind of makes you wonder where Rahm, SEIU, JJJSr, and various other RevRuns fit in to the "economic engine" known as Ohare Airport.
And foolish taxpayers think the so far cost of $11 billion Runway Modernization is for the benefit of passengers and airline safety.
So who knows of and worked this suave fella ?
Can't finish 20 years, even the slickest of players can do 29 with a couple harassment beefs, especially phone call playas.
Pay attention officers. This job is a dangerous one and anything can happen out there and just realize if you are hurt your about to lose your rights based on whats been going on behind scenes for the last 2 years with Dean Angelo allowed it under his watch. According to the contract officers who are IOD have 365 days to heal and be released back to duty by there doctor. If officers are not releassed by then we are protected and have the right to go before pension board for benefits. These rights are in our contract. These rights are under attack as we speak in being changed and challenged thru the courts on a particular case. The former FOP president quietly allowed And looked the other way while a officers disability court case went thru the litigation process of the courts while his CBA rights were stripped just to set a new legal precedent thru common law to change our contract about disability behind the members back. This is still on going but keep your ears open because this could severly change our contractual rights without the members voices being heard and the FOP even having any boice in the matter. What it comes down to is the disability court case could legally change based on a judge adding a provisio making it a precedent duty disability officers to qualify every year with their weapon. The way the current law is worded is all disabled officers have to be seen by a doctor at least once a year to see if the disability still exist. If this officer continues to have his CBA rights violated a judge at the stroke of a pen could make it a legal precedent to also attempt to shoot once a year as well as see a doctor once a year. Pay attention officers. Over the last 25 years our union has fought hard for what rights and agreements we have as police officers. We are under attack by not just the city to maintain our hard earned bargaining eights but also by the courts. Get involved and know your rights. We should never give up due to threats and pressure by the city. Our basic rights are under attack. This case is where it is because of a former lawyer who once worked for the department as general counsel and assisted Dean Angelo and Don O'Neil. The truth is Dean Angelo's lies have caught up with him and he truly was the enemy at the FOP helm. Our benefits and pension benefits are under attack and we need to be aware. Thank goodness for a change at FOP because we these are bad times and the city has a target on every right and agreement we have. Be safe officers and know that the risk of this profession is at a all time high. God Bless
Common law (also known as case law or precedent) is law developed by judges, courts, and similar tribunals, stated in decisions that nominally decide individual cases but that in addition have precedential effect on future cases. Dont get hurt on this job because we might have a judge take away even more CBA rights soon. Pay attention
He will just call his clout Bobby Rush
God damn chicago, is anyone not a criminal working there

(OT) ahh mayor could this be another protected illegal predator as you violate federal laws using taxpayers money:
Man charged with kissing 6-year-old girl in Northwest Side store
Chicago Tribune staff
Logan Square sex abuse charges
A Galewood man has been charged with sexual abuse after kissing a 6-year-old girl on the mouth in a Logan Square store and putting the girl’s hand in his pocket, police said.
Noe Moreno, 43, faces a felony charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a child younger than age 9 in the incident about 9:30 p.m. April 15, at the store in the 3900 block of West Diversey Avenue, according to a news release from Chicago police.
Police Wednesday issued a community alert regarding the incident, then released surveillance photos Thursday of the man believed to have committed the abuse. Moreno, of the 2200 block of North Narragansett Avenue, was arrested Shakespeare District officers about 8:15 p.m. Friday in the 2600 of block North Milwaukee Avenue, according to police.
The girl was in the grocery store when the man went up to her and motioned her to approach him. The man kissed her on the cheek and mouth, grabbed her hand and put it in his pants pocket, according to police.
A family member who was with the girl confronted the man, who ran off.
Police had said the man they were looking for might go by the name "Noel" and was known to frequent the Logan Square area—where he was arrested.
Moreno was scheduled to appear in court on Sunday, according to police.
Sounds like Huberman. One good job to another. Never did anything substantial at any of those positions either.
If the guy has clout, what do you really think is going to happen to him now? Wake up
That's nothing. What about these people who retire as police officers and come back as civilians doing the same job making the same money or more. Don O'Neil and Karen Conway to name a few.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since most of the ballots were cast by retiree's there are a ton of retiree's on the board now.
Aguliar is not one that was elected.
He is a pompous prick that only cares about himself.
I hope that this is not true.
I worked with Jeff Redding. And been to his home. In the city. Not a bad guy, at Narcotics or IAD. He had a relationship with an employee. She then thought she won the ghetto lottery. He left CPD because he had a good job offer. Yeah, because he knew a guy. Big deal. He was there for a long time and then Rauner's people fired him. That's politics. Again, big deal. The new commissioner wanted someone with LE background and Jeff was recommended. There you go.
He's just the scapegoat here. A good guy, good copper, good manager. Always worked hard and did his job well, wherever it was. Yes, even IAD.
Another poster talked about coppers with educations. Well, here's a guy who had that and experience, and mode something out of those. But then others whine about it. Unbelievable. Yes, he had a guy. Maybe if you didn't just hang around with other coppers all the time, you'd have a guy too.
Yet another poster brought up the CFD guy who ran DOA security for a short time. The complaint was that he had no LE experience. Well, Jeff had LE and management experience.
Is that "why" he left or "why he thought he left"? Or maybe there was a change of administration and he just assumed he'd left cause of it and his non-606 zip code had nothing to do with it?
Also the troops already knew about the tollway womanizing. So much for secrets.
Now repeat after me, "Ahhhh never had sex with that woman".
Violating a thing you investigate? That couldnt possibly happen in IAD. Its as bad as cheating on tests and everyone knows you have to shit Tiffany cuff links to get into IAD.

Anyone hired by the tollway is a political heavy weight, it doesn't matter if they were a goody 2 shoes at IAD. How many officers on this job actually know how to become a "Police Agent". How do you apply for a job on the toll authority or become chief of airport security with only "police agent experience".
Ferguson has had an IPRA case referred to his office about davina Ward. Wonder why it's not being investigated? I guess Rahm said no.

I was acquainted with him years ago. He was a police agent assigned to Internal Affairs. He got a job offer with the tollway authority that almost doubled his salary and he went for it, just shy of 20 years with the department. Many people tried to talk him out of it, to just wait until he completed 20 years but he wouldn't have it.

Holloway just randomly called him up and offered him a job at 2x his CPD salary? GTFOH
He wasn't under any kind of investigation or in any trouble with the job when he left. His conduct off the job I don't know. The stuff at the tollway authority I don't know either. I can only say he left the department in good standing just shy of 20 years.

It is pretty common in private industry and much less so in government service to not comment on a former employee's conduct, but only to confirm the dates of employment. And, absent a release from former employee, not to comment on salary. The attorney's got into this years ago and everyone is afraid of a law suit . So, I am not surprised that this happened. This is why people resign rather then be dismissed with cause. Also, if they have an opportunity to resign, which almost every company gives when they want someone out, the employee is prohibited from filing for unemployment compensation which cost the employee a lot of money. They just want the person out of their company and they do not care if that former employee brings his/her clown act to someone else.
Its all pay for play here......
Come to Chicago where education training and skillsets mean nothing.....
Rumors on the sun times and tribune blogs say that Rahm's news bff joe Ferguson and Rahm's personal fluffed Fran spielman may be an item. The way that both of these scum are acting in their ass kissing to mayor pay to play certainly makes sense.

Pay attention officers. This job is a dangerous one and anything can happen out there and just realize if you are hurt your about to lose your rights based on whats been going on behind scenes for the last 2 years with Dean Angelo allowed it under his watch. According to the contract officers who are IOD have 365 days to heal and be released back to duty by there doctor. If officers are not releassed by then we are protected and have the right to go before pension board for benefits. These rights are in our contract. These rights are under attack as we speak in being changed and challenged thru the courts on a particular case. The former FOP president quietly allowed And looked the other way while a officers disability court case went thru the litigation process of the courts while his CBA rights were stripped just to set a new legal precedent thru common law to change our contract about disability behind the members back. This is still on going but keep your ears open because this could severly change our contractual rights without the members voices being heard and the FOP even having any boice in the matter. What it comes down to is the disability court case could legally change based on a judge adding a provisio making it a precedent duty disability officers to qualify every year with their weapon. The way the current law is worded is all disabled officers have to be seen by a doctor at least once a year to see if the disability still exist. If this officer continues to have his CBA rights violated a judge at the stroke of a pen could make it a legal precedent to also attempt to shoot once a year as well as see a doctor once a year. Pay attention officers. Over the last 25 years our union has fought hard for what rights and agreements we have as police officers. We are under attack by not just the city to maintain our hard earned bargaining eights but also by the courts. Get involved and know your rights. We should never give up due to threats and pressure by the city. Our basic rights are under attack. This case is where it is because of a former lawyer who once worked for the department as general counsel and assisted Dean Angelo and Don O'Neil. The truth is Dean Angelo's lies have caught up with him and he truly was the enemy at the FOP helm. Our benefits and pension benefits are under attack and we need to be aware. Thank goodness for a change at FOP because we these are bad times and the city has a target on every right and agreement we have. Be safe officers and know that the risk of this profession is at a all time high. God Bless

Really doesn't make sense what you are saying. In order to return to duty from duty disability pension, you have to qualify. Now you are saying to stay on duty disability pension you have to qualify. Cant have it both way, Your wrong about precedent, A judge cant rule and change a law, he can rule it unconstitutional, but he cant change it That would be up to the legislature
The way you are writing this is that if an officer is shot in the right arm and loses the use of his right arm and goes on duty disability pension, he would have to qualify each year to stay on duty disability. Makes no sense

Great. Except SCC asked for comments from those who knew him personally. Two people posted they knew him and they knew for a fact he was not under investigation when he left.

Isn't that the same amount that JJJr gets from SSI?

While it is true that it makes no sense, people have to continually "qualify" for disability each year or every several depending on the situation. Heck, you have to qualify yearly with paperwork to claim the disabled property tax exemption too. No qualifying yearly, well then up go them taxes, by default. It sounds to me like there is an attempt to have cops subjected to the same "laws" as everybody else....right down to the behind your backs stripping away of rights. Maybe that whole notion isn't such a good idea after all, eh?

At a time when sole focus of the CPD at O'Hare should the very real possibility of a violent mass casualty attack or multiple attacks on commercial airliners they are jnstead tasked with trying to undo stupidity thrust upon them by children at Aviation who are running around playing cops and robbers with 0 Supervision. When the 2 nicest Veteran officers in the CPD Unit (TA & DH)have run ins 2 days in a row and get motherfucked by the same idiot at Aviation it should have been dealt with by their supervisors, instead the same goof rides around throwing down hard stares at ALL CPD personnel waiting to provoke a bad response to put on YouTube. All the bosses should immediately be shown the door.

That's on the CPD bosses. They should have made sure there was discipline involved with this DOA prick.

I worked with Jeff Redding. And been to his home. In the city. Not a bad guy, at Narcotics or IAD. He had a relationship with an employee. She then thought she won the ghetto lottery. He left CPD because he had a good job offer. Yeah, because he knew a guy. Big deal. He was there for a long time and then Rauner's people fired him. That's politics. Again, big deal. The new commissioner wanted someone with LE background and Jeff was recommended. There you go.
He's just the scapegoat here. A good guy, good copper, good manager. Always worked hard and did his job well, wherever it was. Yes, even IAD.
Another poster talked about coppers with educations. Well, here's a guy who had that and experience, and mode something out of those. But then others whine about it. Unbelievable. Yes, he had a guy. Maybe if you didn't just hang around with other coppers all the time, you'd have a guy too.
Yet another poster brought up the CFD guy who ran DOA security for a short time. The complaint was that he had no LE experience. Well, Jeff had LE and management experience.

I wish I had figured out the "had a guy" part a long time ago. It's just the way it is.
