Who Needs These?
From the comments:
- OT...but Interesting.
I work in City Hall (Oh...Not a Cop btw..) and noticed the Department of Finance take in a rather large delivery of Bullet Proof vests from Point Blank Inc.
Are they getting ready to arm the damn PEA's and Booters?

If they have a children's size it's for Rahm.
I tell ya them damn PEAs are racist as hell... black cars get more parking tickets than any other color auto
More likely, they're going to the aldermen.
THEY don't buy the Economist's study claiming Chicago's one of the safest cities.
Sounds like a good idea. Lots of angry folks out on the street. A simple ticket or boot could drive some of these folks over the edge.
We took a stroll down memory lane regarding the
time when Shortshanks thought it would be funny
to give the Vehicle Immobilization Dee-Vice
installers CPD look-alike badges.

Then a crew of those knuckle-heads got to

West Jackson one day and were engaged in
mutual shit-talk with one of the locals
who was taking a rather dim view of them
booting his sled.

Tally:
One shot-the-fuck-up Revenue van.
3 or 4 Revenue-ers "down the street and
around the corner" on just about every
cardinal point of a compass.
If the arrival of body armor presages anything,
Rahm, being desperate for revenue, is hell bent
on sending Revenue-ers in numbers off to
bandit country...
"Call the Cops if you have a problem."
Heh...
Hee-Hee...
Lol...
Stand by.
This shit is about to get fun/ny
as Rahm tries to claw fees and fines
away from members of the same Free Shit Army
he was so instrumental in mustering into being.
Well... Unless he figures the law abiding
citizens in mostly quiet areas are going
to start fighting back/putting up resistance
against the Revenue-ers?
Noticed the City Revenuers have stopped traveling O8 at night ..on weekends .. No money ?
Saw a boot guy in a van last night with bullet vest. Looked like a cop but wasn't. This is where vests are going I think
There is a large shipment coming in for the Get Behind the Vest program. Don't know why, but this goes through City Hall. getbehindthevest.org
They're for antifa, got a party planned for 11/4/17 from what I've read. Don't want peoples and folkses getting hurt ya know........
I get the whole "behind the vest" support that's been happening the last couple years but isnt it odd only 1 company is involved. And the free vest is garbage. You need to upgrade. Almost end up paying what you would at a store anyways. Wonder how many powers that be have stock in Point Blank.
Maybe they are going to give them to the teachers?
They aren't safe in the classrooms, and they aren't safe on the streets.
It appears the aldercreatures need to up armour the patronage hacks to be their last line of defence against the great unwashed, also known as the taxpayer.
Not arm them, just give them a vest to keep them alive when they get shot doing their job. Only because the pandering politicians have chosen the black and Hispanic vote over public safety in every neighborhood across the City.
Might as well, their "star" looks almost identical. Probably have roughly the same political support, if not slightly more.
Revenue people have been wearing body armor for years...this is nothing new.
Retired CPD in Oklahoma says.....
I am sure they will soon turn up at a crack house or on some gang banging thug when arrested.
Hey they should get a vest-- all around the boot guys and meter maids have been hospitalized by their clientele. I am willing to say the ticket guys and red light camera mafia is ridiculous. The last time I wrote a ticket was in 2012... and the only reason was because the female rolled her window up on me. Some people nowadays 😑😑😑😑.
One for each alder thief.
They're just arming up like the IRS did a few
years back. Probably linked to Federal money.
Use it or kiss it goodbye. It's the national fashion
anyway. They want military optics everywhere so
the public has the perception that they're always
being watched. A justification for their taxes. False
safety too. Hey, somebody with a uniform is always
around me. Not only that, they look like they came
from a SWAT team. It's like the cop on the blood draw
team. We're seeing law enforcement in every aspect
of our lives.
Where have you been? Go to fuel at the city pumps on the south side and all the boot guys have body armor. Been like that for years.
I am a lineman for the county
And I work in City Hall
I see shit that you don't see
I've learned to keep my mouth shut
But sometimes I let go
So beware my dear Chicago
Believe me when I say
The government is our foe
It's for Burkes family when the go up to Wisconsin they will be on 94 heading out of town !
No big deal,I've seen booters with vests for years...
Are they at least stylish?
Noe, kees me you fool!!!!
The vests are for the tax payers that still believe in their liberal politicians and their sanctuary city status. Although it's impossible, democrats are going to try and show the world they can protect criminals and illegal aliens and tax paying citizens too!
(Here's your vest, now turn in your firearms.)

Yeah, anyone notice how these Point Blank stores are popping up in northern Illinois?
All circling the great Crook County?
And the fast track these places get in on?
Announcement one month and built and open in less than 5!
Ohio Mega company, and not a illinois company anywhere close who is willing to help Cook/Chicago.....hummm Why???
Maybe the vests for new recruits.
With all the pimpy, ticky-tacky shit that the Dept. of Revenue pulls on a daily basis they may need those to protect theirselves from the frequently enraged, fed up taxpayers.

When was the last time a teacher was shot in a classroom in Chicago?
That was for Burkes family they live the 13 th Ward a lot of shootings there
Did not the fire dept refuse vests for the paramedics? Rahm wants to protect his revenue stream, don't give a shot about others.

After they removed the padded walls left from "the previous administration", it could be that they're now removing the dated walnut paneling and lining the walls of Suite 500 with the ballistic panels.
Don't worry, money is no object.

For starters, after 7pm, its the Contractors...Ser Co, that does the ticketing.
On the weekends...at least since Oct of 16, its a mixed bag...PEA's on OT and Ser Co....depending on the area.
I ran into that Bike Guy today in the Logan Area. And everyone on the Job needs to pay close attention to the following:
I was out with a friend, and saw a PEA on a Bike ticketing a Pickup on Kimball in the 2200 block. So, being curious I asked what the ticket was for.
They are enforcing the Residential Street Pickup Truck ban on Pickups that don't have a Current City Sticker. Get your Damn Sticker if you've been playing the game. And I did some research before coming to the blog...that dude is 100% correct.
Now...we are all going, Wait...Kimball? Residential? This guy has the Damn Muni Code Printed out, Laminated and in his bike bags. Plus he is carrying around a Laminated copy of the IL Vehicle Code for Commercial Vehicles....
Watch your back if you do a side job out of any type of vehicle. They are looking for a reason to drop a commercial vehicle ticket on any vehicle that meets 9-64-170E.

Booters have been shot in the past 10 years. And while I know no one wants Tickets or to get a Boot on their vehicle....they are Fucking City Employees.
We should have their backs for that simple fact. I don't want to hear a 10-1 for a PO...even if I don't like the PO. I don't ever want to hear "Shots Fired at City Employee at X S whatever street."
Remember kids, Enforcement isn't Personal, its City Business.

No. Whats new is it is City Paid for Issue gear.
I've seen a few of the PEA's wearing Body armor...and the ones I've talked to admitted it was out of their own pocket paid for.
The Booters get is as part of their equipment. PEA's didn't until the other week apparently.
Thank you Jesus, Thank you Lord

These vests will be rented out at street corners by the DIVVY Corporation for people going through dangerous neighborhoods.
Who they should really give them to is our EMTs they really need them. I watch video of the Las Vegas massacre and there paramedics were wearing body armor labeled "EMT" and Kevlar helmets. Las Vegas cares for their police, firefighters and EMTs. But LV doesn't have greedy Rahm and the 50 alderthieves.

Did you ever hear of Laurie Dann shooting in Winnetka, or Officer Irma Ruiz at Montefiore School on the west side of Chicago. There are more I am sure.
What I like is the idea, Utah for example where they conduct a free CCW class for teachers. But dead students are more useful to Rahm than a dead offender.
Rahm is passing them out free of charge to the 'dreamers" freeloading in the city.
Illinois Attorney General's office is doing ride alongs.
my husband is a paramedic and the CFD should make wearing body armor mandatory for firefighters and paramedics . They receive a uniform allowance and it wouldn't cost the city a $ .
They already give the revenue strokes (who all failed the CPD hiring process) badges and they walk around like they’re the police. It’s a total insult to those who have earned a badge.

Can't he buy his own and wear it under the uniform. Doesn't have to be mandatory. If there is not an order against wearing one under your uniform, he can do that

And you my dear are the problem with that attitude.
There is only 1 damn reason PEA's have a badge. It is because it is required to be issued to people that issue municipal code citations.
Don't forget that the TMA's that have ticket books Also have badges. So do (If I recall correctly) Buildings Investigators and BACP and City Clerk License Investigators just to mention a couple.
As for the "Failed the CPD Hiring Process" comment....stupid remark. Not every City Worker wants to be a Cop or a Fire Fighter (oh yeah, don't they have badges also?). I'm not saying being a Parking Enforcement Aide is what those employees grew up wanting to be. I know sure as hell its not what I wanted to be when I grew up and moved to Chicago to find a job. But there you go and here we are.
PEA is the easiest job to get if you're a TMA or Crossing Guard trying to get from Part Time to Full Time with benefits.
I've been trying to get to a different job in other city departments since I flipped from TMA to PEA back in 2008. And personally speaking, I can't help that CPD didn't call me for the Academy before I turned 40. But with the shit you guys and gals in Blue are getting from the rest of "society" I'm actually glad I didn't get into the CPD Academy. Lightfoot and Pena and a few others come to mind. Yes, we have our share of idiots at Finance Street Ops. I'm sure there are a few cops you might know OTJ that should never have been allowed to graduate the academy, or get promoted to Sgt or Lt or higher.
Stones and Glass Houses my friend.
Best Regards and the Utmost respect to all that walk that thin Blue Line.

People with a Badge in Chicago:
50 Aldercreatures.
"Special Police" anointed by the Superintendents Office.
50 Ward Superintendents.
Darn near every Manager or Director in every City Department that is authorized to Issue Municipal Code Citations
Know what it takes to "Earn" a badge in this City?
The ability to Pass your Training Certification in the Department you work for if you get a ticket book for your Job.
A badge is a piece of Metal that just represents your particular Office and the 'powers' that come with the job.
The IRS have badges
The FBI have them
DEA, BATF, NCIS, Army CID, Air Force Police, CGIS, DHS, DIA, NSA, CIA Police, Illinois Department of Corrections, State Police, Commerce Commission Police, CCSP, Aviation Security, and the list goes on.
Begging SCC's pardon, but Cry me a river Bro.
