So How Many Retired?
No specific word from our contacts at the Puzzle Palace. We've seen comments ranging from 170 to well over 240.
We know more than a few went in April from our Districts and nearly double that in May. There's still a few who put in for retirement before the Contract expires.
So who has the real number?

I called the pension bd on another matter Theyre expecting about 135 today and about 250 next mmonth
I Retired in may... but I still enjoy this blog and there is one thing I miss--- the guys and gals of CPD. This got is too different then when I got on, if it was like this... I would had did something like join the military. I hope you guys take care of your selves and each other, this one of the few jobs where you are your brothers keeper.
Call the pension board. They have to have the papers. It's no secret, ask your representative. This isn't any conspiracy. Everyone knows there is a larger than normal number retiring because of the healthcare benefit
How many sergeants went?
Today,there were 133 names on sign in list.
250 retired
So how is sparkle farts main ass kissers hiring binge going
60 retired in April
Heard around 700 by end of year
Call FOP they should know
We could all agree that many did retire! Kevin Graham are you watching the pension contributions from the most corrupt the mayor in the history of any city in United States of America? The Chicago Police Pension find his under 25% find it the worst in the nation make sure Kevin during any negotiations that our pension is fully funded!
would be interested in the numbers......retired about 2 1/2 years ago, don't miss the circus, but do miss the clowns
I yanked the plug in March. The day I was at HQ, a minimum 8 others came in, just in the time it took to process me.
From my former district alone, 6 have gone within the last last 3 months.
Keep the line moving....in this positive direction.
dont worry the Media has called the FOIA unit and requested the numbers we should see it on ch7 in a week.
Probably put a negative spin on it saying we are undermanned.
KEEP on doing what you do RAHM!
When does Lappe leave
15 May 2018.......leaving this department!
As a retired cop, live healthy, keep your friends, stay active, and enjoy your new phase of life. You deserve it.
All of us know that you won't miss the job, but will miss your buddies. Stay in touch with them.
We all have great stories, and laugh a lot at retired cop get togethers.
Will the last one out please take down the flag, and turn off the light as you exit....
Don't worry, the department will just cancel one of your days off each week, it's already in motion for this up coming holiday weekend!
Great with 5 years seniority I show finally be able to bid out of 003 and get into a better district.
Hopefully they will open up 018, 001, 016 or 020 for a change...
I retired in April. It's been a full month and only now is it beginning to set in. I thought I'd be a basket case but surprisingly I don't miss it.....the job. I do miss the people. There have been a few bumps in the road. Had a problem with the insurance but got that ironed out. Now I'm just waiting for the first pension check.
Life is good!
Stay safe!
Plan for your retirement. make sure you have enough money put aside, or find a job for a few years, so you have a comfortable retirement according to your wants and needs. Don't wait too long, life is short and the job that you spent doing in your adulthood just shortened it. I have been gone 15 years and It was the best decision that I ever made. I enjoyed most of the time on the job, with the exception of a couple of incompetent and racist commanders on the south side. Go, retire, enjoy life, but make sure you have a plan. It will go easier for you.
Love it! Everybody go. Let the snowflakes police the city!
600 since Jan 1
162 were scheduled to retire on 15 May, I was one of them. If you have your papers in order the process was seamless. Turned in star,shield and ID and eventually left with retired star and ID 2 hours later. God bless C.P.D. and all the hard working coppers and their families. Stay safe and perk yourself when you have the chance, cover your ass and eventually soon you will be in the KMA club too.
Expand the hate.
Hold Rahm accountable for bringing the CHA to Jeff Park.
Do something every fucking day to hate on Arena and Emanuel.
They want to wreck our lives, wreck theirs first.
Over 100 sergeants. Expect a list soon.
Unless there are drastic changes, the Pension Fund will be DOA around 2022 or so- maybe last to 2025. Huge influx of retirees while the current employee count is going down.
Retired a short time ago.every year the job got worse. The old timers that came on after serving in Vietnam were the best. Crazy, funny and they had your back. Now, we have the "cellphone"police" and entitled police.you also have some great and smart ones too. Best advice.push FOP to make 55 and out with healthcare permanent part of the contract agreements.that and pension payments. Don't surrender protections
AUGUST for me, I don't need your stinkin' insurance!!!!!
will the last one to leave please turn off the lights
No arrivals - just departures.
No hires - No promotions.
Chairs could be reshuffled in grand fashion...maybe Friday.
Was at Personnel last week and one person said around 150+ were scheduled for this week.
It's always best to leave before the 16th of any month, but not detrimental, it's just makes accounting easy because of the pay period ending 1st-15th and 16-30th and when you'll expect to see the first pension check.
And that only matters if you're drowned in debt and really shouldn't be retiring.
Good Luck to all pulled the plug.
I'm movin on up the seniority list
Remember all that federal money that hired thousands of officers back in the 90s? Well they are all coming up on 25 years in the next couple. Some might stay 30. But that will be thousands of retirements coming. Is the city ready? Do they even care?
Despite how Rahm lies and fudges numbers he's not even close to keeping up with attrition.
There was only one retirement that mattered. The retirement of Sam M. Formerly of 025 and more recently Navarro's driver.
SCC - you are too benevolent to label 35th & Michigan as the Puzzle Palace (the moniker was first given to the CIA). In order to solve the puzzle - you need intelligence, which is a lost trait at HQ. Even the moniker of Bozo's Circus is too kind!
Retired .38 spl +P

What will the city do with no one on the street this summer Special Ed is going on the medical

Fuck'em. I'll be on the medical too!
It's not going to be "How long can you live" to see how many pension checks you get. It's going to be how long until the city cannot pay your pension anymore. Good luck surviving on 1/2 of what you expected to take home. But we will all keep talking about VRI, take home cars, the Lt test scandal etc. 25% funded / will run out of money I. 10 years or less. Wake up!!!!
Retired recently, best thing I ever did!! Don't miss the job one bit!! I miss some Coppers, but then I think of all the demented, elitist, entitled, arrogant, clueless bosses and I just feel sorry for the Coppers that aren't close to 20! When I retired, they told me that they were out of retirement stars and it would be 2 months before I got mine. One last kick in the sack from a fucked up department! Stay safe and fetal!!

Give it about ten years and you'll have a shot.
All these guys retiring and they will not hire over the summer. Great plan Rham.
They are hiring!!! There are 450 recruits in the academy right now. They are hiring a class every month for the next year with the exception of July. I haven't seen the academy vibrant with this many recruits since I came on in the 90's. The problem is that they may hire 140 people and tell them to report to the academy for the start of training and only 85 show up. Their having difficulty getting the numbers.
Good point by the poster who talked about all the nonsense with SWAT / take home cars / VRI and like. What does all of that matter when you pull the pin at 60 and there is no pension left..Just like all the Retro posting when contract time comes and goes- meaningless pocket change compared to your pension.
OFF TOPIC:
What is the deal with manpower on Holidays!
extended tours by force?
Canceling 4 day weekends ?
Roping in the low seniority?
Caution my brother and sister the commander office will slide less senior officer with clout off details.
The clouted will also not be at work because the commander changed their days off.
FILE THE GRIEVANCE,,,

Traverse City
How many Sgt's retired.....
63 detectives retired in one day..... yes, one day
Don't worry, Ryan over at 211 will still make another sat team or three and add a few dozen more to his bike team all the while the districts keep getting raped and robbed of p.o.'s. Sorry but there should not be more people on saturation, gun, psn teams and bikes in area central than the entire 016 district.
Hiring 100 a month from June to December
Lieutenants will be made Friday.
Captains shortly thereafter.
they walk together.
Insp lumpee K.A. Retire already you big goof.
Hiring 100 a month from June to December
I call bullshit. Use of force training all summer.
12:45 The "Puzzle Palace" is a tern referring to NSA headquarters, not CIA. Please see the book by Bamford of the same title. I worked in the Army's NSA arm in the late '60's, and joined CPD after separation from active duty.
I visited the Puzzle Palace several times while stationed at Vint Hill Farm outside Warrenton,Virginia.

Vibrant? The academy is a disorganized mess with a DC who is clueless. 4 classes have been hired this year. How many have been 100 recruits? One class was composed of 60 recruits. Wonder why the city has problems finding enough recruits to fill the academy? Most fail the final power test or reject the job at the last minute. in the meantime, look at some of the recruits that are in the academy? One female clouted recruit on crutches?

I don't know if I'd want to spend the winter there unless you love snow and cold. That being said, Midland, Troy and Traverse city are all good starting points. Check those out and enjoy retirement
Retiring because they can't stand working for Communist Rahm and his corrupt CPD, not because they want to.
I heard U had to wait in the Lobby and people were only taken up in the elevator 5-10 at a time. The Numbers went to over 150 as far as I know...There was plenty of reading material what with all the boxes of paper lining the hallway.
Now serving 151...!

Your proposal? I think we're all well aware of the dire economic state of this fucked up failed liberal utopia and corrupt government of Chicago stiffing our pension fund. Let us not focus on any other problem in the meantime? It's not like we haven't voiced our concerns about this in the past. Oh yeah, we have. Even our weak ass union has.
Dont expect any promotional classes until after the summer. Mid September at the earliest.
to 5/16/17 12;17pm are you referring to sam m. of 025 what a big do nothing and a stroke never had a baD day on this job always had either an inside job or a do nothing clout position no effect on the crime rate with him retire I didn't care he was a do nothing but he was arrogant a big mouth and always talking down to working non -clouted police officers well I made a smart move I left 025 and went to 016 ands still work something sam never did
Watched Special Ed news conference today.
Message is - Get out as soon as you can!
The gold stars standing with him look like a lynch mob. The only thing missing is the rope

Sounds like someone is mad they didn't make a team?
Rumor is 3 recruit classes to start as well as LTs and Captains
Did you ever notice that in interviews, Eddie Johnson continually interjects "you know" in his publicly televised/radio responses? Depending on the frequency and other factors, this could be a telltale sign that the speaker is a moron. Dead giveaway!
Wouldn't you be thrilled to see our "top cop's" score on an IQ test?
PPO 's , many off probation do not get duty availability and should not have days off cancelled .
Put the house mice on the street
Why oh why do we have sergeants , police officers assigned to ERPS , Records ,mailroom and other non essential assignments that could be filled by civilians .

Hey Jimmy Two-Times, because I don't want a shitbird going through sensitive mail. You know that's what they'll hire to do that
Im currently in county have 10+ years and in the cpd hiring process. Is it worth the move, Tom Dart is going insane and I rather be dodging bullets then shit and piss everyday. Is the grass greener on the other side as far as insurance pension?
Not really but I haven't done count either
to 05/16/2017 02;26am let me give you some sound advice its probally better here , tom dart has the almighty 19th ward behind him and until the air force decides to use mt greenwood as their f-35 bomber testing grounds dart is not goimg anywhere, in any event come on to the cpd and buy a home on the n/w side , Edison park , oriole park and norwood park, as much as I cant stand rahm he is better than dart , my worse nightmare , dart as mayor and pigott as supt.
