What Manpower Shortage?
So the message now is "Lie to Aldercreatures:"
- Today all Commanders got called down to hq and got their asses reamed by the 1st for having the audacity to tell alderman the truth about being short officers. KN told them in no uncertain terms that he will DUMP any commanders who say they are short manpower. He told them he dares any of them to mention manpower at Compstat and promises they will be demoted on the spot.
Of course, aldercreatures accepted the IG report on non-cheating, despite the mountain of evidence that is currently being shredded at IAD, so they probably wouldn't recognize truth as opposed to lies anyway.

Any the democrats have the audacity to tell the public lies about Trump
Were not short officers KN? Then explain why all elective time off from june 23-25 and from july 4th-9th needs a to-from to the deputy chief explaining the reason for the day off....
If no manpower shortage? Why cancel Father's Day RDO?
OT--- but a hearty GFY goes out to Ret Lt Angone
for an explaination, read the letters to the editors of the sun-times
no time due for the summer???
There's no manpower shortage. They just like paying overtime for people to work their RDOs. Having multiple down cars each night is just a fun strategy, not the result of not having enough people to man all the cars. There are so many evidence techs that crime scenes are being processed practically while the crime is still being committed. The FTO program is running smooth as silk. There's at least 3 FTOs per PPO. The Pops are definitely not sitting at the desk or riding around with sergeants. We have 13,500 officers on the street at all times. Yeah, that's the ticket. Fully staffed and morale is through the roof. Everything's fine, just fine. Violent crime? Totally unheard of. Safest city in the world. Property crime? Not here. Fat Eddie and his totally legit band of lieutenants have everything under control. The command staff is made up of only the best and brightest minds in law enforcement.
Navarro is the scum of the earth. It's inevitable that when one of our officers is murdered in the line of duty, the crocodile tears will surely flow from Emanuel, Johnson and Navarro. Eat shit and die, you hypocritical mother fuckers. The rank-and-file despise you.
The truth hurts, doesn't it? You sackless brass bitches.
Noooo. We're not short manpower. That's why we have to go to the (No) Use of Force (Allowed) Training on our RDO.
It's all legit !!!!
When the little Shit heads Rob a Friend of the Mayor in the Gold Coast,I'll say its OK.
Many of the aldermen aren't too bright.
All exempt members were strongly encouraged to attend the CFD graduation ceremony , it's basically a fuck you to the fire dept by Rahm.
He's showing his true ego and power, what a total jag!
If I ever get the chance to ask Rahm...
There's a bet riding on he answer to this question.
Mr. Mayor, how many sworn police officers, or all ranks were employed by the Chicago Police Department when you started as mayor and how many are there today?
He will mumble like Shortshanks and I will say that I won that bet because you didn't give a straight answer.
The unions should know how many POs and Sgts have retired over the past 6 months. Maybe they should put that out there as low hanging fruit for some reporter.
alderthieves lie to everyone 24x7x365.25.. turn about is fair play!
they created the culture of scheisterism, let them stew in it...
Great. Like Escamerit in 025 isn't already squirrelly enough. I can only imagine how paranoid he must be after attending this meeting. His latest game that he has been playing with himself involves him trying to catch officers doing imagined or percieved signs of disrespect towards him. In the last month he has cried like a little bitch to any supervisor that will listen to him because certain coppers didn't address him properly or stop to talk to him. He should have as minimal interaction with police officers as possible. Clueless and out of touch with reality best defines the Escamerit creature.
When the issue of manpower comes up, it's getting to the point of having Gen. Patton command a fake army, complete with rubber tanks, in order to fool the Nazis. At least we were deceiving an enemy during WW II. Meanwhile our gold badge buffoon brigade merely tries to deceive its citizens and AlderCreatures. And Reichsfuherer Navarro tries to command the respect of the gold badge buffoons but it's hard to respect him when they all know that he is lying. Unfortunately, some of our front line officers are still risking their careers and/or lives while believing in Naboring Nabob Navarro as he prepares to take over the CPD.
Retired .38 spl +P
Maybe you need a copy of the CO book notification on restrictions to elective time use by POs during certain weekends and holidays due to man power shortages..from HQ. Lmao fuck them.Ill say it we are short now dump me...fillmore for life.
Hah! Look at roll call in some of the south side districts. Not a one of them is off status yet!
So, districts like 016 which aren't even half staffed are "not" short? A district where they can't even man half their cars on some watches. Guess you just change the numbers.
This administration isn't dumping anyone,plus it has to go through the mayor and COS RUSSELL,you can take that to the bank....As for the 1st.please,he is lucky to have his spot....
That's NOT what was said.
Goid thing I keep copies of the daily watch assignments for all three watches. I could send a sandisk thats will show the alderman how many police are actually working everyday and how many cars aren't manned at all.How bout dat!
13,500. Yep, sure.
I call bullshit on this scc why even post this..
I'd love for this to be true but I just can't see it!
Look at things from the city of Chicago's perspective- manpower is down but productivity is still up and crime (except homicides and shootings) are down.
At check off I look at the citation folder and it is full of parking tickets, movers, anovs. The other tray has a bunch of tows or impounds.
Face the truth- we officers are doing a great job and do not need additional manpower. Keep up the good work officers- the mayor and alderman appreciate it.
Make more mission teams.....thst will solve the manpower problem
Kevin, what are you doing?
Navarro was never the police. Didn't do shit as a patrolman. Always kissed bosses ass. Could care less about the troops. Not a good leader, Has no real experience. Pretty good at getting lunch.
Dump the one who said it KJ 11the Dist commander. He's been ranting at all the CAPS meeting about there's only so much he can do and his hands are tied because the dust is short on man power
WTF
Chicago——the UNSAFEST city in America due to the FAILURE Mayor allowing CPD to be 4,000 short.
Nothing on Comey SCC? I listened to a lot of it, Marco Rubio was excellent. John MCCain on the other hand should retire immediately. Anyways, it really sounds like this guy is mad he got fired and now he's crying about it. The President told me several times I was doing a good job. So what. The president said the Russian investigation is a cloud and is stopping me from moving forward how long is this going to take? Well Mr Persident you're not a target of the investigation and we can't rush these things. BS you rushed the Clinton email investigation! And what's wrong with "hoping" General Flynn is going to be alright and any leader would want his top people to be loyal to him.
So after his meetings with Trump he runs out to the car and writes everything down in memos? Something he has not done with anyone else. Sounds like a set up to me. Oh yeah then he admitted to leaking these memosn to a friend so they would be published in the newspaper. Seriously wtf your the head of the FBI and you just admitted leaking confidential documents in hopes of making yourself look better. No wonder Trump fired this guy. Comey also admitted he never questioned Trump or conferred with his lawyers regarding their private discussions. So basically he was alright with all of it until he got fired. Whatever grow some balls and question the President or simply move on.
If no manpower shortage? Why cancel Father's Day RDO?

The Puerto Rican day nonsense. This year they honor a terrorist as they are squeezed out of the gentrified Humboldt Park. The Puerto Ricans are slowly being displaced by hard working up and coming young people and the crime rate begins to plummet. Now there is a real testament to the legacy they will leave behind. They should be proud.
Time to take down those offensive flags over Division Street.
Navarro is a male version of a bimbo. Never was a working police officer. Been taken care of his whole career. Why don't you go get me a sandwich kevin, I'm hungry. Good Boy.
The Mayor is the final authority as to there being a shortage of officers, or not. A shortage only exists when the Mayor says it exists. He is the Commander in Chief.
(OT) remember vehicles are not weapons as told by dumb as dirt Chicago police exempt rank bosses:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/06/09/terror-motive-not-ruled-out-in-dc-hit-and-run-that-injured-officers-police-say.html
So, districts like 016 which aren't even half staffed are "not" short? A district where they can't even man half their cars on some watches. Guess you just change the numbers.
Shhish..
They will solve the manpower shortage by moving the cars !
I recall a manpower shortage in the 80's. What the department did was to re-beat the districts - less sectors less wagons - and cut the number of primary beats. The city cut the base personnel requirement. Then they could claim 100% manning of cars. Smoke and mirrors.
We certainly live in an era where "The Emperor has No Clothes"
I'm just glad to see them (brass) squirming in their seats over the manpower issue. The rank and file have raised this issue to ad nauseum for years now.
And Now they are being threatened for the mere mention of it...HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!
BTW Boss....We need New chairs, New Computers, New PDT's, and New printer's to do the job...!
And since your listening, now, The roof leaks when it's raining and the plumbing in the men's locker room is leaking again.
Lets keep up the pressure...it's working!
At this point none of them can quit
As they are too legit.
Hahahaha
Kevin was merit all the way up and now he is whinning like a baby! Merit hack know all!
We should throw a City wide "watch" party for any and all Commanders who get dumped for speaking the truth. They should be honored for their Integrity!
Maybe the FOP can set up a Mini a "Hall of Fame" to Honor those Exempts for Standing up under intense Oppression to Uphold the truth without wavering.
It will also be called the "Hall of Silence"
crickets... cheep, cheep, cheep
The first DC Navarro dumps will be replaced by Wheezy.
I really don't know where Rousell juice comes from, he got headlines from the press when he was in MSF and they portrayed him as this top military leader etc, but he is a cut throat back stabber, who tried and failed when he mess ed d with Georgas, now Carter has the spot and screws up every major event, just watch what happens at Lolopalooza.
if true, seems like KN has joined the ranks of Rahm and the Democrats; and as they say about the Democrats....if B.S. were music, the Democrats would be the orchestra, and (pick: Rahm, the CPD brass, etc.) would be the conductor
Even though plenty of media trolls will see this post you know they'll leave this story alone and not dig into it.
They wouldn't want to irritate their master Rahm.
no time due for the summer???
6/09/2017 12:31:00 AM
This Summer much warmer than normal.. just look out the next 7 days in Crooked Chicago .. 90s for highs ,,upper 70s for lows... Blues fest this weekend, along ,, 8 big neighborhood fests ..LOL Rahmicde
And this is why things will never change. " I want the truth." 'You can't handle the truth."
KN should be dumped , districts , units are over staffed with full duty sworn police officers and he plays dumb .
Start at headquarters , 003 and 006 . Wtf , beat cars short and inside falling over each other , includes sergeants in 006 , administrative sergeants that do zero , won't write a bond , aprrove arrest report , merit know nothings .
So I have the 4th of July off - regular RDO - so like Memorial Day weekend should I put in a personal day for my RDO so I don't get bumped to work- this is BS!!!!!
Nahhh, were not short! RDO's cancelled, time due denied, cars down, what cars are up are 99, all day back-logs. C'mon guys, start taking your time responding to calls and let the public start bitching why it takes us so long to respond to jobs. The main thing to do everyday Is go home safe and not stressed. There's NOTHING that says we have to do x amount of jobs in a tour. Fuck this city and most of all FUCK YOU BRASS! Every district start making copies of the sheets and send them in to the aldermans office and post them here.
what a piece if shit he turned out to be!!!!
9,000 and that is with disability officers good luck
Hit the medical if you got balls! County jail guards remind dart every so often that he ain't in charge, when they have a mass call off.
Break down the spin:
He's only saying that Commanders not to tell AlderThieves there's a manpower shortage, that isn't denying a shortage, it's only hiding it.
And it's true, in their infinite wisdom, HQ truly believes...there's no shortage when you have "the allotted percentages" (on paper) assigned to District law enforcement.
The Merit appointed professional pencil pushers love to play the numbers game.
For the citizen troll: That total allotment includes admin house mice, CAPS, school cars, tact and mission teams (subject to deployment elsewhere).
Actual manned Beat cars on the street available for calls always short. Never a shortage in the office.
Maybe HQ should clear out their excess and make some parking spaces available at the 35th St lot.
Hey KN - newsflash - Compost paper shuffling is not police work.
Maybe CAPS shouldn't have more manpower than a 1st Watch roll call.
Maybe there's too many soft spots like being assigned to schools, down in the stations and tact missions on the PCAD but assigned to another district.
And really, how many "drivers" do Merit Hacks really need?
That KN knee jerk reaction came from City Hall.
A real and honest boss would never bow to such nonsense.
We are short manpower on the Watch, if he can't stop in a few Districts and look at the schedules then he's an idiot.
It's time he jump off that 3x Merit high horse, just once and stand on your own by supporting the Beat Guys.
Just when we thought we got rid of the bullshit under JFed, Gmac and Special Ed, we get another goof sidling elbowing his way up to Rahm.
Stay Fetal, don't invest any effort into this guys stock.
1st & 16th with a case reports a plenty...that's it.
Everyone should just hit the medical and take your three days off.
Looks like I pulled the plug at the right time.
Retired back in April and loving it!
Navarro couldn't dump himself without TD 9.5's permission.
Look at the latest retirement order. Last one out turn the light off.
Worse is the moral shortage.
What needed to happen when Navarro stepped up to the mike and started to talk , a voice from the past should have interrupted him.
Shut up fool!
Quit your Jibba Jabber!
Navarro, Who's voice is that?
First name Mr, Middle name Period, last name T.
Oh, how short we are in every unit of the department.
That Voice used to drive 1020/1070 crazy. How I miss those days in 010 with Ramon the mad man.
Just another shake-your-head face-palm story from Police Headquarters. It's the District Commanders (and the DSS of every watch) that know if their districts are short on manpower and it's damn well their job to speak up about personnel shortages. Unfortunately, this city and department are run like a third-world banana-republic junta. Our bosses spend more time and effort covering up the truth then making any meaningful management decisions. They should create a new commendation ribbon for our merit elite. A bright yellow ribbon (the color of cowardice) with either a dollar-sign, banana or turd pin smack-dab in the middle.
While the department is ridiculously short its the district watches that really feel the pinch.
The units and HQ are always adding to their staffs while further taking away from Patrol.
Also every District has way too many people detailed out and way too many hidden/special people tucked away and not available to work the street.
Who feels the pinch the most from all that BS? The watches that struggle to find the manpower to man even the basic staffing of beat cars.
I call Bull Crap
KN you the BOSS
Demand all AA sheets from the merit command staff
how many are assigned to clerical , foot posts , parks , other assignments other than primary beat cars and squadrols wink, wink
next demand activity of ALL Police Officers
next check GPS of all beat and tactical stupervisors wink wink , look at GPS and Supervisors LOGS oooops false official reports ooops
do your job
beat cars , tactical are only ones working
after this do the same for every unit
Manpower in 007 went from 380 in Jan to 330 now, just in time for summer. I wouldn't care if those officers went to 022 or 016...but no way thats happening. They are asking people to work regular beat cars for time and 1/2. More reason to stay fetal boys and gals.
About to be 1 more short just got a new job. I'm outta here.

Just like when they cut the D-unit from 5 to 3 areas. When they did that we were automatically at full manpower while the day before we we over 200 down. Too bad there are no real reporters in this town to figure this stuff out.

I believe it was 1981. Four sectors magically became three sectors. The 40 sector in each district just disappeared. POOF! The remaining three sectors and the beats became larger to accommodate the change. We also received our first contract which included a raise, but it took a couple more years to ratify it and have a start date. We would have never had a contract if our friend, Mayor Jane Byrne, had not been the Mayor.
Civilian here.
I do hope there is someone at IAD has the integrity and balls to make copies of all the stuff that is being shredded. I think the Justice Department would be very interested in that....at least as leverage against the Rahmfather.
This is their creative thinking out-of-the-box strategy that justifies the six figure salary they collect. Overwork and over-stress these officers until they break and then wind up on the 6:00 pm news for making a controversial split second decision. Then fire them or spar them with that sanctimonious shit they are programmed to spew "We do not condone those actions", "We do not train our officers to do that", "We will not tolerate such behavior", etc. Continue down this path of cancelling days off and restricting time due, and at some point people are going to say "fuck it, I need some time off" and they will hit the medical to get it. Argue all you want whether it's wrong or unscrupulous, but the fact is everyone needs some R&R and will get it some way. The problem is this department has been morphing into a top-heavy pseudo corporate organization, where you have far too many over-paid administrators and supervisors with redundant responsibilities micro-managing fewer and fewer subordinates into miserable performance for the sake of appearing necessary or important. They continue cutting real-time needed personnel while creating more upper-level positions allocating finances toward paying those inflated salaries instead of hiring more hands-on workers. Meanwhile, less gets accomplished with more people being payed to watch.

6/09/2017 02:40:00 AM
Then he really won't like the fact that I sent an anonymous email this morning to the Emma Mittz alderman office about how all the shootings in her ward could have been prevented if the city gave the district the adequate amount of police cars. Instead we have bike patrols up that these new guys don't even like working. Putting bike patrols up in the parks makes absolutely no sense when all the shootings occur on North Ave and on Division. Put up more cars, more visibility, and a better chance of shootings to go down. Escamerit and the shot callers downtown are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RETARDED!!!!!
In a personal situation, I was introduced by a mutual friend to 1st. Deputy Navarro. He listened to the intro for a few seconds until he determined that I could be of no immediate value to his career (i.e. networking) then he merely just turned away like I was invisible.
I said to him, "Geez, nice talking to you"(sarcastically)but he just didn't get it.
They should name a Street after him... yup, One Way.
STROKE!

Hey all you sgt's and above that say "I don't read the blog", you know your reading this... STOP ACTING LIKE BECAUSE YOU GOT PROMOTED BY WHATEVER CROOKED MEANS YOU GOT PROMOTED, that now this dept is legit and a real law enforcement agency!! News flash you fuckin goofs... It's not!! Don't spew your company man nonsense cuz YOU AND ONLY YOU think it's legit now that you got promoted. Your also not fooling anyone when you talk out of both sides of your mouth. "This is a bad time to do any kind of work" turns into "we need more ISR's"... Sad what cool-aid poisoning will do to these idiots.
be careful he will demote your dc and pigott will be your new commander
Stop complaining and put in a par form for the days you want off w/o pay and watch what happens; it is hilarious watching them squirm.
So I have the 4th of July off - regular RDO - so like Memorial Day weekend should I put in a personal day for my RDO so I don't get bumped to work- this is BS!!!!!
cant use pday on holiday.See ya out there
Worse is the moral shortage.

Not nice to make known about your brethren and sistren.
Wow! What happened to Kevin Navarro! Lost his balls big time. Didn't have much in that area anyway. He should thank Hiram Grau everyday for his blessed career!
Not all aldermen are stupid. They don't have to be told we are short; they already know it.
NO PERSONALS ALLOWED IN 012 ON 3RD WATCH TODAY.
So, LT Georgas tells all the cars on 3rd watch in 012 that no Personals will be allowed today due to numerous festivals and events and cars being stretched thin.
Aka, short on manpower.
You are right First Deputy Navarro, there is no man power shortage. Only a shortage of Police.
Col Hannibal Smith
A-TEAM
Time for that surgery I have been putting off. Peace out
As soon as I had 20 years and the age I retired immediately and left the state. I now work for an agency that appreciates and values my contributions and efforts. Don't be afraid of moving out of state... get out now. You don't have to continue putting up with the ghetto BS on the job and off the job.
Not to many empty parking spaces at 35th Michigan !!!!
Retirement numbers in....over 700 retired.....
There is a manpower shortage, but there's no shortage of members of the CPD command ranks who have been promoted over and over through the merit process. While it is true that you can have good and bad bosses no matter how they were promoted, is it too much to ask that command members pass even one promotional exam? Shouldn't they have to prove their knowledge of directives and their proficiency regarding situational job knowledge even once?
The whole merit process was sold to us as a way to promote good police officers who don't test well, and yet it has always been used as a reward for the clouted - the cronies and sycophants of the exempt members and politicians.
And the poster boy for everything wrong with the merit process is the very person trying to conceal the manpower shortage, our very own first deputy superintendent.

Ever see a district roster? Some names have been detailed out for 10+ years. Think maybe these people are counted twice?🤔Nawww
For your info was never said by KN sounds to me a certain 25 Dist boss is having sour grapes and I was there.
Time to take down those offensive flags over Division Street.
6/09/2017 08:07:00 AM
Absolutely. I've thought that for years.
Dear Commanders, please go to the equipment room and sign out a backbone and set of balls.
I know my rdo' s will be cancelled July 4th weekend, so you know what I'm going to do? Hit the medical. Fuck'em all!
He's full of suck hole shit! The media can do a FOIA and get all the memos of the "No time off" BS that just came out. Fathers day weekend all the way past July 4th. When the city hired police and didn't slash manpower that never happened. It's as plain as day. The city didn't hire and huge numbers just retired or quit with a lot more coming. The media should do a numbers search comparing today with 8 years ago.
"Fat Eddie and his totally legit band of Lieutenants have everything under control."
Best comment I've read in a while...... can't stop laughing. The most dangerous part about lowering the hiring standards is that someone who really shouldn't be hired in the first place due to incompetency could end up being your supervisor!!
Why do you need man power, you have love and understanding.
If these "Commanders" gave one shit about their men and women, then all 22 district "Commanders" would mention the severe manpower shortage at Compstat and dare the "First" to do his "worst". Imagine that headline.
22 Chicago police Commanders demoted in one day.
They would earn the undying respect and gratitude of their subordinates for bringing attention to the dreadful mismanagement of the CPD by HQ and City Hall, jeopardizing the safety of officers working the street and citizens who actually need the police but have to wait an hour for a cop to show up when called.
For once, I would call one of these "Commanders" "boss" and not be over the top sarcastic about it.
Nah, what am I thinking? You couldn't find five out of 22 to make a statement of solidarity with their troops like that.
Sorry about the language, SCC. But after all, I speak the Truth.
OT--- but a hearty GFY goes out to Ret Lt Angone
for an explaination, read the letters to the editors of the sun-times
I did. You're right. What a jag. Was he merit at any point?
KN hooked up with Hiram Grau and up the ladder he went. HG had other bosses nominate him so if there was a problem it wouldn't come back to LIL Hi,total jag
Northside districts have been hiring back supervisors on their RDO's for at least the last month. This is just to put 1 Sgt on the street. In the meantime the calls to Dep Chief Nagode's office asking for replacements go unanswered. I'm sure the OT is nice but it's all coming to a head for the 7th period. Between furloughs and burn out they'll be lucky to have a DSS in 16,17,20, and 24.
Started the day in a back log today. We are short manpower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know NOTHING. I see NOTHING.
Doing the same thing for first watch in 009 for both P.O.'s and Sgt.'s on a fairly regular basis.
It's really fucked up.
Why is KN former admin Sgt Aguilar now in Area South Det Div?? Is she angling to be a merit Lt...........she has let it be known she wants to be a Lt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What that retired Lt needs to realize is that the dept is short all ranks.
This isn't 1990 or 2000.
Times have changed dramatically since he worked CPD.
A supervisors job and dramatically increased since he worked CPD.
But hey retired Lt. Angone, I'm sure you have all the answers and are willing to come back and show us all how it's supposed to be done! NOT
Now go away and enjoy your retirement.
What did Bob Angone say that was so bad or incorrect? IMHO he was spot on.

Let me be the first to congratulate you..! Most of our members would stick it out for another 25 years, and complain the entire time. You made the smart move. This Dept. has been taking on water for a decade or more, and is now listing at 32 degrees. Soon we will be at the tipping point.

The commanders don't need city hall or the CPD to help them with the manpower shortage. They do it to themselves, they are the biggest cause. Look around your district and unit and see how they make use of the manpower. They are their own worse enemy
I guess the exempts having nothing to worry about, since it appears that Navarro is the one who let the info get out to the media. Is he going to be a man of his word and demote himself??

Please make Tony a D.C. so we don't have to deal with him that's all he wants for Christmas. Since are department doesn't believe in demoting incompetency
This is nothing new.during phil's reign and his silly DOC meetings, he, nor malloy would accept the fact that most of the senior guys on tact teams/watch had their furlough, and the rest were in court, leaving you with 0....Zero tact teams on the street on days. not to mention how many times tact was detailed out for all the festivals. Maybe it's different now if they are filling tact with reverse seniority. how the fuck can you deny the fact that guys are on furlough and/or detailed out of the district. No Fucking Manpower Period.
Morons.
One thing I'll never forget from early on in my CPD career. I had about 2 or 3 years on the job and was "Asked" by the desk SGT to drive an off duty SGT to some errand for something. We got to discussing merit SGT promotions on the way. This SGT asked me "What do you think a merit promotion consists of?" I looked at the SGT and unfortunately and naively said "Isn't it for Coppers who work their asses off in appreciation for their hard work?" The SGT laughed hysterically and said "Kid you don't know much about this department do you?" A couple weeks later some brand new to district clout baby was recommended and promoted to SGT meritoriously!" I guess I shouldn't have been surprised at that point! You live and learn everyday on the job just how corrupt, dysfunctional, clout laden, and fucked up this department really is, so many totally clueless, incompetent bosses out there running the show, hand and hand with Rhamicide. God help the poor short timers with a long career ahead!!
orry about the language, SCC. But after all, I speak the Truth.
The commanders don't need city hall or the CPD to help them with the manpower shortage. They do it to themselves, they are the biggest cause. Look around your district and unit and see how they make use of the manpower. They are their own worse enemy
From another comment proving my point

004th district front office and CAPS has no sworn manpower shortage. On most days there aren't enough chairs/desks for everyone.
But the commander will be crying he is short manpower and half the blog will agree. I'm not saying we aren't short, just saying the bosses could do a whole lot better with what they have. Everyone can see it unless you are Stevie Wonder

I think you meant too many but I get your point.
HQ and units are usually adequately staffed if not overstaffed.
The same can be said for all the special and hidden people at the district level..... they never seem to feel the squeeze.
Only the poor grunts manning the watches and beat cars feel the squeeze.
CPD is woefully short but due to their fucked up priorities and piss poor management it is the district watches that get royally screwed.
In my ghetto district we are normally down to 1 sgt and maybe 1 filling in from another watch.
backlogs all night.
But yeah no manpower shortage. Nothing to see here move along.
Sad to say I have 11 more years to go on this shithole of a department.

Were not short officers KN? Then explain why all elective time off from june 23-25 and from july 4th-9th needs a to-from to the deputy chief explaining the reason for the day off....

Try from the weekend of the 16th through past the July 4th weekend. Why don't they just cock block our whole goddamn summer while they're at it to satisfy this community they keep pandering to as if any amount of police down on the west or south sides is gonna quell the savagery. So... Go ahead and give them my tax dollars, strip me of my police tools and now I guess my personal fucking time the little relief where I get to de- stress from this bullshit job and its crushing politics. Yeah the dept cares about your mental health alright. I think they'd rather appear like they're doing something politically about the violence that we as the police will never be able to fix than the fact that we have some the highest sucide rates of any dept.
Let me get those mission numbers for you and ISRs. You bosses sure know how to keep moral up. Lol
Fuck you and your body cam.
Only a complexion that a mother could love.
Keep adding bodies to Saturation gangs and guns. Clearly they are doing a great job since crime is down. Since no one can really do police work send them back to where the help is needed.
Return these people to the districts, if your 9161 get into a beat car maybe then personals will be allowed again.
i remember when the merit bosses actually targeted me when i worked ot locking people up for serious offenses., how times have changed.
CPD seems to be a Typical Democrat Organization from the Top Down. Everyone Lies.
