Gang Team Arrested
Once again, a phone call unit is going to bring unimaginable heat and disgrace to the Department. One sergeant and two-to-four PO's out of Area Central if initial reports are correct. Here's a clue boys and girls:
- Money or drugs just left in a car rarely happens in real life. At least, not in the amounts that snared you. And now you'll be going to prison.
You aren't the first and unfortunately, you won't be the last, who think that they're smarter than the system. Thanks.

Embarrassing!
Merit Sgt and so is his wife ....
Merit this is what you get more arrest coming from Holman SQ special ed he gone!
If all true wtf you deserve what you get! Another stain and tarnished assault on this department and right during contract time!
STOOOOOPIDITY and GREED will get you every time.....
Are there any links to articles about it?
C’mon guys, wtf?!
There are enough outside forces trying to beat us down, we don’t need to be doing it to ourselves!
Greed Kills!
Ugh...
This has happen to all big city's ran by Democratics
Garry McCarthy: “Miss me yet?”
OT -
I am retired, 7 yrs now. Went with the 55 and out healthcare ( not that that has anything to do with this.)
Every year my COLA benefit is a few dollars less than I received the prior year. Why?
Just plain dumb.
Oh my look at the cash!
Merit is the answer WRONG!
You have to be joking. That leaving $$ and dope in a car is older than I am and I am 71.
As stupid as they all are I’m sure they’re not gonna get an I Bond like everyone else.
Fuckin idiots! I’m glad they got locked up and hopefully do serious time!
Looks like gangs will be getting body cameras now.
Just what RAHM needs!
Please dont sell tickets for amateur thieves.
It must have been the 1st time. This is what happen when 1 person control who goes on a team.
Maybe 1 of those 3 high paid exempts who boss special ed around can fixes this problem.
It's all about diversity.
Absolute idiots. I've always been very hesitant of transporting arrests for these Area teams whenever they come over the air. You just never know the circumstances of their initial stop, arrest, or how they piece everything together afterward. They seem to think because they don't have cameras, no one else does either.
I'm just surprised after reading comments in previous threads that this hasn't been all over the news. Could they be asking the media to be quiet because more arrests are forthcoming?
Merit Sgt! Go fuckin figure!
HQ had a 4-6 officers being "re-assigned" ....same group ? It's always the tac teams, gun teams and OC teams that get themselves caught up with this shit. You can add traffic to the bunch, too.
Merit promotee as usual...... the Merit boss that put him in for the spot should be accountable too. If you are not smart enough to pass the tests on orders and policy how are you smart enough to make and create the new orders and policy? And cheating don’t count as passing!
UNFUKNBELIEVABLE
This is a shame,everytime it seems the department is finally getting some positive reviews something like this happens
This happens everyday big dope big money that's the game sometimes you win sometimes you loose short jail time move on you will not be the first or last retired CPD
You guys with snitches out there, registered or not, best be careful. Then again if you aren't stealing I guess it doesn't matter.
By. The. Book. Don't take shortcuts with your CIs. They may be working you for a bigger pay day. Don't do stupid shit!
Not a phone call unit. Gang enforcement is part of Patrol.
You stupid, dumb, despicable morons. FUCK YOU!
Dumb da dumb, dumb.
Thanks, Asshats.
To those of you involved, I have no words. Shocked, dissappointed, pissed. This moment defines you. Say hi to Blago for us in your new pads.
Holy Shit, not again! Wtf you fools. Things are bad enough without some morons doing shit like this. Well you know what, a fucking thief is a thief. That's what this City gets for lowering the hiring standards.
Assholes. Fuck them.
Never wanted a gig in Gangs, Tact, or Narcotics. Far too much nonsense and temptation.
No more beards
Humbled down the princess in Area 1 I’m sure, too. Two incomes not enough?? Pendejos
Unfortunately sometimes people can be greedy over pennies even $5000, $10,000, is it really worth it? No. Let’s just be real. I do know one thing let the snitching begin, because there is plenty of rats on this job and it’ll be every man for themselves. #nosnitch lol
Damn, more fuel for the reform the police fire! Thanks JOs
Lucy, you have some splaning to do!
Merit sgt out of 10, who was his sponser?
In other news. Nice story about a dedicated cop:
January 26, 2018
The day after his funeral, investigator's final case ends with conviction in 15-year-old Joliet murder
A Will County judge on Monday is set to sentence Eric Glover Sr. for the 2002 murder of his girlfriend, Velma Franklin.
Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes convicted Glover, 44, Nov. 15 of shooting Franklin at her home in the 600 block of Third Avenue in Joliet. He faces 45 years to life in prison.
The chilling details of the case haunted an Evergreen Park native who was the Joliet Police Department's lead investigator at the time of the killing. James Stewart retired from the department in 2009 then began a second career as lead investigator for the Will County state's attorney's office.
"When he came to work for me, he told me I should look into that case," State's Attorney Jim Glasgow said in an interview. "That murder case would never, ever have been prosecuted if it wasn't for Jim Stewart."
Stewart died Nov. 9 at age 64 of mesothelioma, a cancer caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Glasgow said as a young man, Stewart worked a couple summers for his father's construction business. He was buried on Nov. 14, the day before Glover's conviction following a seven-day bench trial.
"He felt there was enough of a case that this person could be convicted of murder," said his widow, Amy Stewart. "He had a very good memory."
Stewart's dogged persistence in the case is evident upon a review of court filings, newspaper accounts of the trial and interviews with family members and former colleagues. Stewart tracked down witnesses who had left the area.
"There was never anybody we were looking for that he couldn't find," Glasgow said of Stewart's skills in multiple investigations. "He would treat the bad guys with respect, and they respected him back. He would solve more cases because they would give him information they wouldn't give anyone else."
The story that emerges of Franklin's murder is one of alleged domestic violence, tragedy and justice after a 15-year delay.

Special Ed is gone another Merit going to jail you can't make up this shit The Goverment will now that over the Police Dept Thank God for the US Attorney General I see a lot of retirement coming before the weekend The Real Police!
If this is true and the Feds can prove it, then I have no sympathy for any of these fools and I do hope they get long prison terms. And, needless to say, I will not be going to any fund raising party for them. The pay and benefits are pretty good, could be better, and lost of part time work available. No need to steal a paltry amount of money
Everything else aside how did that become a phone call unit? Need to check your facts
This is the moment Kim Foxx has been waiting for
Boys - lawyer up, not one word until you speak to your attorney...don't let the FEDS feed you the bullshit line "first one to talk gets the deal" because the deal is ALWAYS prison time . We are the police and the police hating liberals don't give us deals. Make them prove what they think they know...the FEDS hate taking cases to trial unless its a 100% lock for a conviction. Let your lawyer get discovery, investigate and then make your decision on the most prudent course of action.
*I'LL PUT THIS HERE just in case anyone is looking...truly one of best Criminal Defense Attorneys in this crappy City...Mr. James McKay (Tomasik Kotin & Kasserman).
Dumb dumbs !
SERIOUSLY? This can’t be true... with cameras everywhere and the criminals running the streets, courts and department backed by the media someone really thought they were going to be able to get away with this?
Money or drugs just left in a car RARLEY happens in real life.
```````````````````
Boys and girls after 25 years on the job I've never saw that... Not in large amounts EVER... There are forces out there trying to see who takes the bait and whatever you do. Stand firm on your morals and character and don't let these wannabe law enforcement hacks test that. These guys if they did it they will pay for it with their freedom spending years in prison. Stay safe and watch your six.
If found guilty I hope you are all given long prison sentences. You disgraced your family and all the honest policemen on this job.
Didn't want to believe anyone could be this stupid BUT......
(link: http://dlvr.it/QDQyC8) dlvr.it/QDQyC8
What a shame, with all the negativity out there about CPD, NOW THIS!!!, SURE HOPE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH IT.
I said no to drugs a long time ago!
No Narcotics arrests for me!
Don't care what people put in their own bodies either!
Now I'm happily reaching retirement without any headaches!
Bye Bye Suckers!
Thanks assholes!!! Now the whole department will suffer as a result of this bullshit. IF found to be true, throw these assholes in the same cell with Van Dyke.
Not a cop but these situations give rise to BLM and other groups. Damn.
Thank You.....MuthaFu**ers........

When will these gang teams learn..
If true very shameful.. Feel sorry for their families.
Wtf when will they learn. Every ten years there has been a drug scandal on the CPD.
That’s all we need stupid special Ed in front of cameras with his script this won’t be tolerated. Then the
Dumb mayor chimming in. Like we aren’t taking a beating in the media with there scripted narrative. Always some guys on this jon that think they are smarter then everyone else. If there dirty they deserve what they get.
Word is that it’s more nefarious than found items they failed to inventory. The vast majority of us do the right thing and get a bullshit bad rap, mainly from Hollywood movies and false accounts. When it happens for real it’s shocking to us and pisses us off. I’ll do whatever I can to help a fellow officer out but if you take money, drugs etc, there’s no difference separating you from any other shithead. For that reason, I say fuck all these jagoffs. All are a disgrace and I’m personally glad they got rolled up. I’ve worked with so many brave and amazing men and women, which I’m thankful for. This is a slap in the face to all of us on the right side of the law.
What a bunch of losers!
If they were too STUPID to do anything these days with cameras everywhere and GPS, then they are truly LOSERS!
These are the same guys that when they call the area to say they have someone in custody, I dread getting assigned to handle their mess. When you ask them for a Supp report they say, "WE" don't do sup reports because we are Prim donnas. These fools will make an arrest in 008 and bring it to 001 because their office is there. Well Prima donnas, the G.O states that you will process the arrest in the District the arrest was made. Not your office.
Well Good Luck to all of you at Club Fed.
Nothing but the sound of crickets. We're all waiting the release of names, will the names surprise anyone?
The Feds are ALWAYS dropping cars full of dope and
money in Chicago...
Why?
Because they KNOW some dumb-assed copper(s)
WILL bite.
Especially you thirsty, untouchable/clouted m/fers in
in those phone call units.
You know...
The units famous for demands for "activity/numbers/production"
to make the BOSSHOLES of those units look good at their monthly
group grope where they re-inforce the no-longer-meaningful/credible
demands for "activity/numbers/production" from the gullible saps
who flock to these units because they don't want to put their time
in pushing a beat car.
Carhartts and backward ball caps are seen as a sign of "I've Arrived
As A Policeman."
No... No you haven't...
Not if dumb shit LIKE THIS continues to happen.
Whatever...
The ENTIRE supervisory echelon of this latest batch of morons
should be shoved against a wall of sandbags if actual accountability
were the order of the day.
"Aw wotdafuk man! You can't expect us to know
what dese guys are doin' all da time!"
Turning a willfully blind eye is NEVER
an affirmative defense.
Nor is calling your clout when things
swap ends and charge at you.
And if the Feds have these knuckle-heads
standing on the scaffold already?
All their associated clout should have
gotten the pre-dawn knock at the door too.
...THEIR clout as well.
And their clout's clout.
We recall an interesting anecdote in the
aftermath of Operation Greylord.
The Feds didn't reel all the bastards in
because there would have been nobody left
standing to hunt in the future.
Chicago should be burned to the fucking ground
so that the decent and law abiding can stand
a chance.
Police Like You Have No Friends...
time to get rid of all these bullshit units. Everything can be handled at the district level with more accountability.
More to come bet on it!
super-secret? no perp-walk being blasted everywhere, the talking heads have yet to blab about it and there is nothing in digital or physical print.
Thanks assholes, you get the occasional feel good story involving lifesaving stories and POs and then we have this. You better believe these new civilian appointees are licking there chops.
Rumor is at least one of the indicted dickbags plan on using the "No More VRI Made Me Do It" defense. No, not quite, but really...
Gotta love how these "real police" are dumb enough to think that they can trust, yet still rip off informants. Newflash to all you hairgel superstars: your "informant", regardless of the bind that he's in and trying to work off, HATES you because you're a cop. You represent what got him in the position he's in. He's doing what HE needs to survive. He'll feed his own mama to the wolves, so trust me when I say he won't bat an eye giving you up and/or fabricating lies to jamb you up. That said, sounds like they were onto these disgraceful assholes for about a year.
Two things to remember, guys:
1 - first one to cooperate usually gets out of jail first
2 - you can't wear jeans and baseball caps in the pokey
The best part? The sarge was part of a fed task force at one time. I guess he learned all the tricks on how to circumvent them... NOT!!! Thanks for the black eye, motherfuckers.
As soon as you get to the academy as a ppo they should have a history class about past thieves on this job. Summerdale, Austin, Englewood....and those were the group thefts, there are countless of individual acts of stupidity.
Way to go gang team, you really are the best, enjoy the federal pen. all the big issues come from idiots in blue jeans.
So we will see ibonds and no charges or at most probation, right?
And media will do one article at most, of course leaving out descriptions, and names, like it does for the community, right?
F#@king Idiots! How many inbred Clout Babies are on this team?
Just checking my pay stub. So DJT reduced federal taxes where I received an additional $115.00 per pay period so $230 a month, nice right? Well Illinois has increased its tax by $50 per pay period so instead of $230 a month it’s watered down to $130. Screwed by Illinois and the Democrats yet again.
And to the Sgt and coppers who allegedly stole cash and drugs. No sympathy at all. Enjoy prison. And don’t look for any handouts for the rest of us.
What a black eye for the rest of the good police out there trying to do their jobs in these hard times. If theyre dirty fuckem dont gave pity for them. But let justice take its course. If innocent sue the fuck out of them. Meanwhile their credibility just went out the door. All their pinches will surely be msnollee.
If true then I hope they endure long prison sentences! If false and it was a b.s. witch hunt just for rhams headlines then I hope they enjoy a huge lawsuit settlement!
When will guys learn they ARE NOT smarter than the other guy!!!
If true, zero sympathy
Also reading about a tact team arrested by the feds in 010.
Feds are definitely not all they are made out to be. They have unfortunately become politicized. I don’t believe anything they say, and believe they act at the behest of their political masters. Good luck to the officers being railroaded.
What’s the odds on the Sgt being a merit idiot since they were previously on a federal task force.
Thanks guys for continuing to make us all look like a bunch of assholes. I can't wait for someone to swing by the station selling raffle tickets for four or five different benefits...
I have been a policeman for 2 1/2 decades nothing embarrasses me or my family more than when I read about policeman stealing drugs it's really disgusting it saddens me to hear this .
Let me Guess
Merit SERGEANT?
Merit Lieutenant?
Merit Commander?
Post the names and the Chif's that Recommended Them
I for one am happy. Just like when I got on the job, the rogue officers were the ones that beat people, stole money and drugs. Lately it seemed like the only coppers that were deemed criminals were the ones such as myself for bringing in zero activity. Coppers that didn't do vri were the most rotten of all. I was getting a little worried that with all the body cams that no one would be stupid enough to do shit like this anymore. Thanks guys! Keep filling up that Callback unit. Makes my counseling sessions, and threats by my commander, to bring in activity, look like small potatoes.
So your saying four spots just opened up? Awesome, my time to shine.! Where do I send my resume and activity to? I’m really good at counting and measuring down to the gram!
Bottom line is everyone is dirty thats involved with drugs. I hope it isnt true but they are talking a year long investigation before the pinches. Drugs are dirty. The people who are involved with them are dirty.
Tomorrow is the 1st, and 15 days later will be the 16th. A BIG Thank You to the old timers for your advice and guidance throughout the years. Many of us managed to stay out of prison because you were very generous to share your experiences with us. Those who listened will be paid tomorrow.
-Mr. First working days furlo.
Come on SCC in this day and age no one is that insanely stupid to do anything like this or are they? Hi ho hi ho off to jail I go! Another black eye for this department the hits keep on coming thanks asshats!
Let’s try to remember. Guilt has to be proven .
body cams would have prevented this
let no forget the infamous midnight crew from 025 that were rolling polish immagrants out their money, Charlie bowery committed suicide and john delasandro later died good ridence
I almost can't believe a group of officers (and a Sgt) would act so recklessly and NOT expect to be caught. Did they just ignore the entire SOS scandal?
These types of incidents give great leverage for those pushing for reform and accountability. It just sickens me that any fellow officer would be so selfish as to risk their financial and personal freedom to rob drug dealers. In addition to the embarrassment their families will go through. And for anyone who believes "there must be more to the story," there probably isn't. Especially if this was the result of a year long investigation by the FBI and IAD. If they were doing everything right, this would have died right away. I guess doing simple TVB arrests like every other gang officer was just not exciting enough
This has been a Long Time Coming , People need to go to Prison , The delay of the Brass NOT dealing with Corrupt Officers from past times have come to this , NOW The Total destruction of Chicago PD's credibility with all the public is here , the Total destruction of this Dept's Moral is here . Criminals In this Dept who were allowed to continue has made it disgusting and sickening to honorable officers wanting to stay in this dept , It will now take way to many years to improve or be corrected , Corruption Criminals all the way to the Top with the Brass even cheating on exams to get promoted .Even to the point of giving there friends and or Girlfriends Cheat sheets to get promoted , when THEY were never even a Real street Cop from the beginning . UNFUCKIN BELIEVABLE , Its definitely Time to go , This incident was definitely the last Straw .Gods Speed to all the real Chicago Police Officers still on the job , Farewell
This is why those special units should have cameras. Gang teams and gun teams etc. why don’t they have cameras? What’s their reason
Not a cop but I wish I was surprised.
If true, the officers are supposedly from the 10th District.
Remember, "You are on the train or you are on the tracks" words spoken by that FBI goof Robert Grant the guy with the eternal smirk on his puss. Of course if the CPD had easy Pickens like the FBI seems to have with the CPD I would have a eternal smirk on my puss too. LOL
Unreal. People are still that dumb!
The story before mentions police going in a fire for a rescue. They will be rewarded. They went above their call of duty.
In this case officers allegedly stole, abused their power and they will be punished if found guilty.
The media will eat this story up but to put it simply we balance life by risk reward system.
A few things that come to mind......
- Gang Enforcement is hardly a “phone call unit” It’s still in patrol, and has long outlived it’s usefulness. When it was first started, it was a completely different unit than it has been the last few years. About 3 years ago I heard guys in GEU complaining that it was just a “glorified saturation unit.” Nowadays, they aren’t a glorified saturation team, they ARE a saturation team. It’s time to do away with that unit and send those guys back to the districts.
- And just out of curiosity, what were this “meritorious” Sgt’s worthy accomplishments that got him made? Actually used to seem like a nice enough guy, but never heard of anything he’d done on the job. His wife also made dic meritoriously. Which is funny, she worked tact in 010 for years, but is at the area crying about wanting to make overtime. If you came from tact in 010, you should still have cases making their way through court as a new detective. Never done a thing.
Meritorious must run in their family.
Every one has a price at which they would be tempted to take. Personally, the only time I would consider taking money would have to involve two drug dealer who shot it out and both were dead. With a bag of money laying between the two fuck heads, no camera's, and no witnesses to the event. I like the percentages of this scenario, and would take the change. Anything to get off this fucked up job. Dealing with merit bosses, the new police, and the public who hates your guts is worth the chance. I'm in no way promoting anyone to go back to taking traffic money's, bribes from drug dealers, or making a stupid meet for compensation from a criminal. Sooooo, a large sum of money left in a vehicle, percentages jump up to a 90% setup. My scenario is much better in not getting setup.
ssc this goes on all time. get rid of the tac teams and gang teams put them back into patrol.
let the DEA AND AFT handle the drug dealers.
I'll bet it was some older cops or guys with at least over five years on the job. Millenial officers would have been too scared. I was going to write 'too smart,' but that wouldn't really be the correct way to describe the new breed of coppers. Oh, and the ones that did this are completely retarded. Was the Sgt that got stripped merit?
When I retired went to work with the Marshal,s and worked a number of Cop Trials. Austin,Gresham and Medzowski all ended with Coppers taking heavy falls. It ain’t worth it People. Kell
So I guess this means there'll soon be a NOJO to come across the AMC page announcing "No Bid Assignments To Area Central Gang Team"?
Bwaaahhhhahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Good riddance to you all, you fucking jagoffs.
Awesome!
Thanks guys!
Cory Flagg again.
SOS all over again.
Greedy assholes. Fuck you all.
In "normal" times I would just chalk this up to the "G" doing it's natural police corruption thing. In these "ab-normal" times, with the "G" so embarrassed by the 7th floor revelations, this smacks of damage control by head hunting. If the coppers were this stupid, so be it. But, if I can look askance at the motivation of the G, it tells me just how damaging the last year has been to that agency.
Come on Guys, learn from the past. Pac-Man has already been locked up over 20 years. He didn't hurt or kill anyone. He is due to get out in out in like 80 years.
For You youngsters out there who don't recognize the name Pac-Man look up Operation Broken Star. That operation changed the lives of many, whether they were involved or not.
Dirty Cops don't get probation.
Be Smart, Be Safe
So a dope dealer complains to the Feds and IAD that he's being ripped off/stolen from. FED & IAD are all over it. Rightfully so.. fuck these guys-if true. But when sergeants study and work hard for a lieutenant's test and can't get promoted due to the promotion being stolen from them due to cheating nothing's done about it
Enjoy prison guys! Congratulations on giving up $100,000 a year and a $60,000 a year pension for the rest of your lives! I hope what you lost and the embarrassment you are now going to cause your families was worth the mere peanuts that you just couldn't leave alone
Question: Will the MCC be airing the Super Bowl this Sunday?
Funny how units still don't have camera's !
Innocent until proven guilty.
Just because it's a Fed job doesn't mean our guys are instantly guilty.
In fact, I'd say that given how politically compromised federal law enforcement has been shown to be, their reputation is lower than dirt right now.
And with the vast criminal conspiracies and crime wave going on with these street gangs here in Chicago (over 100,000 known gang members here and counting), you mean to tell me that a sarge and 2-4 cops should be anywhere on the feds' radar? They can f*ck right off with that, those arrogant cucks that they are.
Not to excuse any misconduct from our own that ultimately erodes public trust in us, makes our job harder, and brings discredit to our dept; I'm not excusing or sticking up for cops who break the law because we are held to a higher standard.
I just have a problem with how the feds do their business. They'll bend over backward to cover for Hillary and her criminal organization, make up bullsh*t to try and take down President Trump, and I'm expected to take them seriously when the best they can come up with is bone head coppers here on the south or west side or wherever?
That said, there are some basic rules to live by on our job, and I will take this moment to list them:
1. Don't pick up anything off the street.
2. Never ever trust a fed.
3. Never ever trust a boss.
4. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
5. Never ever trust a fed.
6. Everyone lies to you - your boss, your partner (s), the victim, the offender, the citizens.
Stay safe.
Hey, thanks guys!! Thanks a lot! Appreciate ya!
Well here's something else we will all have to wear the stink of. damn!!!!
Add to the prior theft scandals, the 016th district crew that stopped the drunk drivers and the tow truck idiots. Another guy in 016 would call funeral homes to pick up bodies. Just some of the beauts we've had on this job.
I find the timing very ironic days before the F.B.I. is about to be exposed for its complete Anti-Trump Democratic bias they pull a scandal committed in the cradle of Democrats. I'm not condoning the actions of these complete idiots but it's very odd.
They gotta be out of their minds to do some stupid shlt like this if it’s true. Coppers are making 100-200k with overtime nowadays. Utterly embarrassing to such a great department.
Great way to make us all look like assholes.
X marks the spot lol
This is why we can’t have nice things.

It's not a game. It's CRIMINAL. Stay retired. Clowns like you are what turned this department into a giant fucking dumpster fire.
Fucking assholes. Seriously.
I was in Gang enforcement a few years ago. Most of the Sgts were merit and were completely useless. The few good ones who knew what they were doing were off the list. The same goes for the Lt’s too. Just saying.
When I came on the job in the 90’s (not CPD), the jackpot jobs were pretty easy to spot. Anonymous caller reporting an open door, go and find door wide open, no one in sight, and a pile of cash on the table. If you looked close enough you could find the cameras.
As obvious as it was, they still rung up a few coppers every year with that tired game.
Stay safe/ stay smart
Never wanted a gig in Gangs, Tact, or Narcotics. Far too much nonsense and temptation.
1/31/2018 08:28:00 AM
I agree.
Back in 06 two idiots from 022 were caught on FBI wire tap of their phone. They were discussing how stupid the guys in SOS were. They also spoke about how smart they were and how they would never get caught. Both are still in prison by the way. I often thought about how hard the agents must have laughed as they listened to RD and MS discuss how smart they were. I guess some of us will never learn.
Thanks assholes!!! Now the whole department will suffer as a result of this bullshit. IF found to be true, throw these assholes in the same cell with Van Dyke.
1/31/2018 10:14:00 AM
It will be an empty cell when they arrive because Van Dyke will not be there.
This is what the anti-police activists wait for. Now, all Chicago Police Officers can be painted with the same brush. Not only that, officers across the country will also be looked at with more suspicion.
Thanks assholes.
That’s good advise, lawyer up. Assholes, screw you. Let me guess you figured out a way that no one has ever thought of to make illegal money. What did you take 10 million dollars? No. Chump change you freaking crooks. Bye.
To the retired guy asking about his COLA.
The Obabma Health care tax came in, so its more money out of your pocket.
Think about starting to come to the retired meetings and you'll be kept up to date. Also, join the retired organization.n Its your future, take care of it.
Who's the idiot that put a LT from SOS in charge of the team? A leopard doesn't change its spots.
Only the police are guilty until proven innocent.
Sounds like entrapment to me.
Never trust a fed.
How quickly we turn on ourselves.
If guilty fuckem.
This is one of those occasional threads that will surely set a record for amount of comments. I hear the search warrants conducted at their houses turned up some of the bait $$$. Same with at least 2 safes and a safe deposit box at our main branch credit union!!! GTFOH!!!! This is what merit promotion and hairgel wanna be the real police combined results in. Enjoy the federal clink you rotten pendejos!!!! I can't wait til all the snitching and finger pointing starts. Makes for good television and newspaper.
This is terrible and an embarrassment to all of us. I'm retired now so I won't say much but I think if I get stopped outside of the city I'm not going to show my star and just take the ticket. On second thought I show him my star and MF the morons for stealing.
Haven't any of these guys seen the movie Training Day?? I thought it was required viewing before you got on a team. At least all the team guys I know seem to reference that movie all the time. It's a real shame these guys were stupid enough to go this route. Personally never put in for any teams or units. Too much expectations of numbers and being a blind-eye team player... those environments skew your views, make you stupid things. Good luck to all involved.
We need to start something here: You know how out of concern and respect for each other we safe "be safe:. We need to add "be safe and be smart" when we part company with our CPD brothers ans sisters....a gentle reminder....

Boys - lawyer up, not one word until you speak to your attorney...don't let the FEDS feed you the bullshit line "first one to talk gets the deal" because the deal is ALWAYS prison time . We are the police and the police hating liberals don't give us deals. Make them prove what they think they know...the FEDS hate taking cases to trial unless its a 100% lock for a conviction. Let your lawyer get discovery, investigate and then make your decision on the most prudent course of action.

Unless your the scumbag lawyer himself, who's post this kind of adVICE? Are you Fucking kidding me? FBI just doesn't do random S/W. I'm sure the evidence is piled high. See you in 15-20 years
I thought it was mid night crew of the old 025
Thanks for making everyone look like a bunch of assholes you fuckers.
Fuck you assholes. I hope you spend a long time in a federal pound me in the ass prison. You just made our job harder as if it wasn’t already hard enough.
Remember guys and gals....these are ALLEGATIONS!!! So to you “holier than thou” posters, dont jump
to conclusions just yet.
Funny I've actually found 5k on the job and guess what, found property case report! Did it sting a little? Yea so what not worth it! I made that in a month and guess what even if it was free and clear I'm not thinking about it for the rest of my career. It's really not that difficult to know and follow the rules. Adios, you're a disgrace and thanks for the black eye.

Not a fuckin’ chance!
And you wonder why the city is hiring civilians to reform the department? This is what happen when the UNQUALIFIED gets promoted. Clueless and selfish.
All units should wear body cameras if tact wears them why not units? Including detectives. Thoughts??

Not a phone call unit. Gang enforcement is part of Patrol.

“Not a phone call unit”???
Do your homework!
The Area Central Gang Sgt was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off! Where's there is smoke, there's fire. Too bad JT (off duty CPD involved in the justified Mount Greenwood Beal shooting) is going down & just got on the team
http://www.chicagolawbulletin.com/archives/2016/05/04/police-raid-hush-money-5-4-16.aspx
Looks like Robert Lopez was the merit Sgts juice. Public record.
Gangs and gun teams should all have cameras, what makes them so special they don’t have them? Every unit should have them.
Someone saw too many episodes of The Shield.
Go figure certain clouted hacks can cover up homicide investigations and get away with it but obviously a cash grab is considered the crime of the century to the feds...
I was on a Tac team for over 15 years, was never tempted, never took a dime. It’s the person not the position.
Back 5 years ago when I was a hard charger we pulled a dope dealer out of his car and searched him. He had over 4 grand on him. I searched his car and found a 100$ bill crumpled up under his car seat. He would have never known. No cameras. This POS is rolling in money I could only dream of. I uncuffed him and let him go cuz we had nothing. Before he drove off I gave him his 100$ bill back. He almost seemed shocked
10:14:00......Sounds like your an A**HOLE. Assigning guilt in one case and leave room for doubt in another.
I hope they are "TRUMPED UP" charges/allegations by the FBI. If they did what they are accused of I hope they get a lot more then then JVD. They actually knew exactly what they were doing at the time if true. JVD wasn't the cause of what he is dealing with. The offender LM was. The failed juvenile court system wasnt any help reforming him either. The social Justice warrior family only seemed to care about him after his tragic ghetto story was cut short to the tune of a few million.
1. Don't pick up anything off the street.
2. Never ever trust a fed.
3. Never ever trust a boss.
4. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
5. Never ever trust a fed.
6. Everyone lies to you - your boss, your partner (s), the victim, the offender, the citizens.
Stay safe.
Let me add: 7. If you do anything that can jam you, do it by yourself telling no one. Not your/girlfriend, wife, boyfriend, I mean not a soul. Take it to your grave period.
Wow, never trust an informant. Doesn't matter if they are signed up or not.coppers make a mistake i n becoming fri ends with them. Most are criminals.

So a dope dealer complains to the Feds and IAD that he's being ripped off/stolen from. FED & IAD are all over it. Rightfully so.. fuck these guys-if true. But when sergeants study and work hard for a lieutenant's test and can't get promoted due to the promotion being stolen from them due to cheating nothing's done about it
1/31/2018 02:03:00 PM
And the amount of money that these idiots stole pales in comparison to the amount of money in salary and pension the test thieves are going to make.
Does this mean there will be openings for Area Central gang team? Do you still need a phone call to get in?
Retired cop here all I have to say if you come by some good weed pass some on to us that are retired. There are no pee tests for retirees.
Thanks rahm, this is YOUR meritorious Police Department. Apparently you are doing NOTHING to clean up the mess.
Bam. Just hit 5:00 news. Channel 9,7 and 5
The news reports on this situation suggests a long-term investigation with at least three different times these guys took drugs or money on camera. I'm guessing this is not something that they did once or twice. Best bet is for them to follow the lawyer up advice, but it won't keep them out of a federal penitentiary.
I wonder how many guys they are willing to rat out to get a few years off their sentences. Just remember - the guys that rat first usually get the best deals unless somebody has something unusually juicy to rat about.
Is this the same fbi that protected Hillary and tries Roddick with a legitimate President. Yeah right i believe what the feds day Not!!! Innocent until proven guilty!!! Don't believe s fucking thing the feds say!!!
The feds are all criminals!!!!!!!!
Apparently the feds found a bunch of money in safes and safety deposit boxes. Hopefully they were smart enough to put enough of their ill-gotten gains away someplace safe so they can afford to pay their lawyers.

Thanks guys, let me guess what's next more cameras for every uniform officer except for plain clothes. Sorry I forgot that's how it is already.

As soon as you get to the academy as a ppo they should have a history class about past thieves on this job. Summerdale, Austin, Englewood....and those were the group thefts, there are countless of individual acts of stupidity.

===================================================
You left out the Deuce in 86/87?
Hmmmm would it be the reason why Deputy chief walrus WATSON . For retirement In April , LDub promoted the last 2 acting commanders (gang south)one from Sgt to Lt and the other one from tact Lt to acting-commander Of gangs south to Captain . Is he really uncle Reckus !!
Useless fucking specialized units and teams on this department. CPD screws itself every time. Everything should be seniority based. Instead you got PPO’s getting assigned to 016, coppers getting Cush gigs here and there, two year wonders getting cars that don’t take jobs and just bring in activity. What kind of stupid shit is that?! Make them work the toughest beats and learn how to write paper. Mostly idiots on this job I tell you. Here’s a tip: answer the radio, cut paper accordingly, and go home. To do anything else would be asinine
Not necessarily true. I’ve been on a tact team for over 12 years and never had a second of temptation. If you’re a scumbag cop then I suppose you may be tempted. I go to calls, make an arrest now and then if all the elements are there starting with reasonable suspicion and stay out of trouble. We do everything by the book and never deviate from it. It’s hard to be a proactive cop but that’s the times we’re living in. Anyone who steals deserves to go to jail.
So this means more openings for that unit well I'm putting my application with 5yrs in the job I should be fine thanks guys......
As much as it hurts to read this post it hurts me even more to think how most comments involve profanities and how much damage they have done to this department. Every officer is their own person with their own values and morals. Don't use this as an excuse to throw stones at people that made their own decisions and will now face the consequences. Yes we will be questioned about our integrity even when we know our integrity has never once wavered but guess what this to shall pass. Not the first time but hopefully the last. My thoughts and prayers to the families (especially the kids)involved and I hope in the end we learn from the officers mistakes. Stay safe out there
Trib already has the story,, sarge worked with FBI..... dumb fucks ... lose pension ,,, a felon ....they in bad shape
How about a go fund me guys????? Anybody ????

LOL,, Feds win 99% of the cases brought in
How did the feds catch these guys but they could not or would not indict that stealing fool CO Bubblehead from 012?
gun team guys are untouchable, gang team guys not so much
What a bunch of losers!
If they were too STUPID to do anything these days with cameras everywhere and GPS, then they are truly LOSERS!
These are the same guys that when they call the area to say they have someone in custody, I dread getting assigned to handle their mess. When you ask them for a Supp report they say, "WE" don't do sup reports because we are Prim donnas. These fools will make an arrest in 008 and bring it to 001 because their office is there. Well Prima donnas, the G.O states that you will process the arrest in the District the arrest was made. Not your office.
Well Good Luck to all of you at Club Fed.

Hey house mouse! With all that down time you should read the order instead of watching Netflix.
Chicago Police Department General Order G06-01-01
FIELD ARREST PROCEDURES
Know your shit before you comment.
Expect to see more of this in years to come as they relax hiring standards
To everyone making negative comments before all the facts come out(not rumors or from the papers) shame on you. The same people talking shit probably are Hillary,Rahm,Madigan supporters.
Screw you guys. If your guilty I hope they give you the max amount of time. Stealing money, pathetic. Yet another black mark against CPD and yet again has to do with Units. Just get rid of these B.S units.
Good job gang team. Al this because you wanted to wear jeans and put a roll of quarters in your front pocket. Now look at ya.
Great. Now we have to have a consent decree to the consent decree.

Merit promotee as usual...... the Merit boss that put him in for the spot should be accountable too. If you are not smart enough to pass the tests on orders and policy how are you smart enough to make and create the new orders and policy? And cheating don’t count as passing!

Old boss RL
Smart guys reinvent themselves every 10yrs or so....
50s....Summerdale
60s.... LT.C Braasch and Rush St boys
70s.... Marquette 10
80s....Englewood tact and vice boys
90s....15th Dist.Tact boys
00s....Watts boys, Finnegan posse
Somebody always thought about it first and did it....shit money gets you shit time....you and only you put yourself in a position to do this....
So blame yourself,take your family down with you....you didn't think about them,you thought about you
WTF!!!! This is sad. It will only get worse with the record amount of thugs getting on the job. Thanks to a lack of interest, we have lowered the standards of what it takes to become an officer within the city of SHITcago.
I don’t understand all of the comments and whining about “why don’t they have cameras!?” You really think cameras would have deterred these dumb fucks? Stop worrying about what other units or teams do and why they don’t have cameras and if you don’t know why you must need more time on the job

Only the police are guilty until proven innocent.
Sounds like entrapment to me.
Never trust a fed.
How quickly we turn on ourselves.

Do you even know what “entrapment” is??? They were not “entrapped”, they were caught.
Pick up a law book, dumb fuck.
All LAPD Officers are in uniform..All of them
Get ready cause soon everyone here will be too.....
Rahm hiring all these civilians that previously reformed the LAPD..
BA BAM
“These fools will make an arrest in 008 and bring it to 001 because their office is there. Well Prima donnas, the G.O states that you will process the arrest in the District the arrest was made. Not your office.”
Wrong buddy-that was changed on a BOP a couple years ago. Sorry you are inconvenienced and have to drive the other way in a work car on work gas to do your job.
Sure, morale is at an all time low. Sure, the brass and the mayor's office throw us under the bus on a whim. True, the county cuts loose everyone we arrest, often making it difficult to understand why we even try anymore.
Still, theft, in any form, can never be condoned. Of course. Theft shows a complete lack of integrity, which is crucial to do this job. Of course.
But Maybe...when there are over 12,000 members of this department, who are all well aware that the Superintendent's wifey, and several of her friends, are stealing over $15,000 a year, in essence from other officers, with the Superintendent's knowledge and [at least tacit] consent...just maybe the notion that a few officers will say fuck it, and start strong-arming the shitheads, should have been anticipated.
It's one thing to say that the brass has no integrity. This administration, however, flaunts it, and laughs in our face about it, while giving us the finger. With this atmosphere, and this amount of officers, it was only a matter of time, and there will probably be more.
When Ed has to do the presser on this one, and makes his points about "trust", I can't say for sure if I'll be laughing with him, or crying. Betrayal is difficult to deal with.
Re: basic rules
WWII GI's told to never touch German helmets,
ect.: many learned the hard way with booby traps.

So, a Merit Sgt. takes the bait. Probably wishes he
was never connected.
As for the honest guy not cutting the Lt. test: must be
frustrating, but sometimes you just move up into a bigger
rat maze. More targets on you and more back stabbers.
BUNCH OF MERIT HACKS....seems like almost everytime there is a scandal, it involves merit picks. I guess if you do Not have to play by the rules to get promoted, you assume that applies to everything!
Who was his sponsor for merit?
Not every guy on a team steals. Just these idiots. If they were in patrol these dumbass losers would be stealing.
