193 New Graduates
- After welcoming 193 new Chicago police recruits, Superintendent Eddie Johnson spoke at the City Club about new reforms for the police department.
During a speech, Johnson revealed that later this year the department will launch an early warning program to identify officers struggling with issues at home or on the job.
"This early detection and intervention will not only protect the emotional and physical health of our officers, it will also protect the community to ensure their officers are acting professionally in their capacity on the street," Johnson said.
Well, seeing as how everyone and their brother has a new agency to second-guess coppers months, even years after the fact, it's little wonder the stress levels have gone up around the Department.
It's also leading to record levels of "disengagement" from the "community."

Smoke and mirrors.
Anyone else hear that is losing 30 percent manpower this summer? Supposedly 30 percent of the unit is going to be sent to the revamped summer mobile program for the 90 days. Only rumor, I’m not saying it’s gospel. Just makes sense given the info that summer mobile is getting a south, central and downtown/lakefront unit this year with 500 bodies in all. South at 61st and Racine, central in 009 and the downtown/lakefront pulling out of both 018 and 001.
With the odds of getting jammed up around every corner-- you would like to have lawyer and psychiatrist on speed dial.
My stress level has never been lower.
Lights and siren, at speed limit, to every call. Offender is almost always goa. Report = less exposure to risk while down.
I win. Fuck this city until the good people stand in support of what's right.
I will not shoulder it alone, you don't pay me enough.
The dept can't even predict the next 'banger v. 'banger incident - despite knocking on doors, etc... how the fuck are they going to predict coppers w/issues?
I believe we already have this.
need to move away from from aclu and consent decree. street stops need to drastically increase to provide a safer environment for regular citizens.
probably fill in on desk or park car
It truly makes me wonder why anyone would want to come on this job in the current climate.
“It truly makes me wonder why anyone would want to come on this job in the current climate.”
Have you seen what we’re hiring in the last 2 years? That’s who would want to come on the job - they’re entitled, self-centered, lazy and see themselves as the saviors of the CPD.
There are a lot of bosses out their who need some detection and intervention. More so then in the ranks of police officers.
" struggling officers " on the job. No mention of STRUGGLING Supervisors though. How about All Personnel..
I have problems at home due to the Lt. Cheating scandal that was swept under the rug......
Is Eddie really still around?
I heard a rumor that they are getting rid of vri and using the recruits. My wife works at the McDonald’s next to 35/michigan. No more vri
"This early detection and intervention will not only protect the emotional and physical health of our officers, it will also protect the community to ensure their officers are acting professionally in their capacity on the street," Johnson said.
Yes praise the Lord now the God fearing, law abiding, taxpaying, underserved forced to live in the ghetto community can live in peace and harmony without the fear of harassment from the racist Police...
Snowflake alert...
Summer Rush!
Ever see August Rush? Awesome movie.
Unfortunately, Chiraq’s annual “Mid Summer Michigan Ave. Bum Rush” does not have as heart warming an ending.
Get ready Rahm, Wilding Season is now only a few weeks away!
Free Tip, Rahm.......Slow down that Red Line and reduce the number of cars per train.
Record levels of disengagement with the public... Well put.. We police only want to talk to people that are already proven friends, not the public in general. We do not trust the city and we do not trust the politically connected bosses that run this city. Only the geek on 3rd watch in 025, the goof who was given the Diversey foot post because he is such a mush, is believing the bs. The Diversey Dork takes pride in kissing 💋 the commanders ass via positive community interaction bullshit, and gives names along with it. Its revolting to hear what is supposed to be a man, and a policeman, lick boots and force everyone else to listen. He is neither man nor police.🍻
(OT) Wow under rahm another stabbing, women walking in this heavily "yuppie" many young kids moving here paying exorbitant taxes and fees and then this:
Woman grabbed from behind, stabbed while walking to Fullerton Red Line station
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-woman-attacked-20180412-story.html
A woman was walking to the Fullerton Red Line station Tuesday night when a man grabbed her from behind and stabbed her repeatedly, Chicago police said.
The 21-year-old woman was walking east around 10:50 p.m. in the 1200 block of West Webster Avenue in the Sheffield Neighbors neighborhood when the man grabbed her neck and put her in a choke hold, police said in a community alert.
He stabbed her several times in the upper body, police said.
The woman was stabilized at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
The attacker never spoke to the woman and she didn’t know she was being followed, the alert said. He wore a black hoodie and black baggy pants, and was 5 feet, 9 inches tall.
Anyone with information can call Area Central detectives at 312-747-8380.
*Another of "rahms values" slash transit attack, gee whiz golly do you think this was another mental "homeless" you know that when rahm closed so many mental health centers they now wander to maim and kill! Ahh go ahead Lincoln liberals be the sheep keep voting democratic and let the political elite pander to the very thugs and of course the illegal invaders that violate so many laws and the elected obviously support lawlessness as they catch and release so many, and even then Tommy dart gives them pizza parties!
Surprised rahms lapdog media even reports it, but then again no description of course must be the "black problem" right? Dont say I am racist because when your "keeping it real" it is realism big difference they are out of control!
But wait Kenny Griffin extremely rich guy just handed rahm "10 million dollars" for policing which he will quickly shit away and use to purchase things that he of course gets the old reliable "campaign donations" for like cameras which as everyone knows are after the stabbing,the murder, the bloodshed where they can say "I think it is him" and then if it is he gets arrested and the judges get the call and the felon is back out to continue killing and maiming! Ahh rahm how about using that for more bodies on the street no not the "dead people of warm weather" Nope nada more police hire hire hire idiot!
Said all that to say this just got back from New York rode their transit bus and trains, so many coppers everywhere talked to a transit copper was told "You guys in chicago have a total shit show" which is true they have over 5,000 just transit coppers we have what maybe 80? The federal government gives hundreds of millions to transit who does rahm give it to? And zero federal investigations!
The color I choose is blue and blue matches blue so we protect blue first and always!
Isnt this already called behavior alert program?
Amazingly, Ron LUberman and company have a speciality in ascertaining officers at risk....Wanna bet they get the City contract?
Lo Energy-Lo IQ Jugghaid Special Ed the Entertainer...just give him a podium.
193 out of 200?
Was there a pilot program at the academy that weeded out some on the fringe?
Peace circle training flops.
Rahm’s New Order CPD nazis will use the same algorithm Schmuckerberg uses to filter out Right leaning PPO’s.
“Protecting the community” from the evil police.
This fccking racist doesn’t give up does he.
I hate this guy.
No word if the mental and emotional health of the violent feral communitay will be screened, accountable, judged or just used as an excuse.
The Right Man for the Right Time™️ - your time is up.
Its warming up and the community is restless.
Don’t fight Rahm’s War or get involved beyond the GOCR.
Stay Fetal.
I have zero stress because, I zero care. ☺️
Eddie, COPA and Rahm are the cause of the problems, get rid of them you won't have no problem

How are we going to work with most of the bosses in the program. There will be no supervision

That might be true, but the academy is packed. Around 700. Have 3 neighbors who have kids in the academy. No space left. Some are taking classes in lunchroom, others have no home room or lockers and earlier this year another had to work 4-12 until room opened up

Seems the holding back of that class blew over. Making a big deal about it, drop a few to froms and a week later they are in the fueld
SCC I sense skepticism.
You don’t believe Rahm, through Rahmenomics, has really added 1,000 officers???

You, my good man, are the example from which everyone else should draw their Fetality Wisdom.
All you new pups, hard chargers and bleeding hearts with badges need to take a play or three out of this mans playbook.
Your sanity, physical health, overall livelihood and finances will thank you.

Unfortunately quite a bit of citizens view the police as a problem
there is not going to be 1000 more cops. chicago does not have the money to fund 100 more cops. might be able to fund at more or less current levels but with the pension payments that are due I would expect to see overall levels of city employment to drop across all departments. that is the only way the city can afford to make the pension payments. keep in mind it is not just the police pension fund that is in the hole. all the city employee pension funds are in trouble.
IIRC, the city has something close to $40 billion worth of unfunded pension liability in its four employee pension plans. The city is required to fully fund these plans I think by 2045 which would amount to about an extra $1.5 billion a year just to pay for pensions that they already owe for. The city's budget is about $10 billion a year. Just where do you think an extra 15% is going to come from? You really think that the city can raise taxes that much without chasing even more people out?
(OT) so the Salem sorry Chicago style witch trial will start they will be in their "coven" stirring the pot who will win?
http://abc7chicago.com/chicago-police-board-review-of-legrier-jones-shooting-now-underway/3332648/
Wow! So the superintendent was recently put in a room with 30 anti-police "you do what you be told" politics animals knowing the political temperature and ordering Eddie to fire the copper! Eddie finally taking a stand and now the dog and pony show moves to this 1 person yep ok copper who did his job of course will never get a fair shake, he did his job instead of getting commendation he gets condemnation typical anti-police sop for Chiraq! You young dumb skulls full of mush young coppers running and gunning "look at me boss I be the real police" better stand down the ghetto nonsense is getting worse apply jungle law the biggest beast will survive get the hint!
Prayers said for this great officer and USMC veteran, and American hero which the city is trying to reduce him to a Chicago zero! God bless you officer!
We already have the Employee Assistance Program, which I think does a great job. However, they were never properly manned and funded, which made their services difficult to obtain at times. What is going to be different now if there's a new program? You still have to spend the money for it, and its worth it.
truly makes me wonder why anyone would want to come on this job in the current climate
=======
perhaps I can answer your question.
not many places you can get an entry job that pays 48 grand to start with a bump to 72 grand after a year and a half. and that is with paid training.
not to mention the very generous fringe benefits that private sector employees can only dream about.
and basically the only requirement is a 2 year degree. if you cannot get a 2 year degree these days you should starve anyway.
any word on when the Chicago Mounted Camel Patrol will be hitting the streets?

There will be 1000 more by the end of the year. It was a campaign promise Rahm made and his opponents are closely watching. He has to and will keep this campaign promise
As far as the city not having any money, they always say that, but when something happens, the money comes from somewhere. Also with the additional PPO’s starting at $46,0000 they will be replacing most of the OT which has been exploding g be cause of the shortage of manpower. Kick the can down the road as the politicians say. PPO’s don’t get OT, just CU so this summer all those RDO’s that were cancelled won’t be necessary because the time and a half pi’s will be replaced with lower paid PPO’s who get no OT pay
Think short term not pensions 25 years from now. Rahm is worried about the next election, he won’t be around in 2045 when the pension money comes do.
Any chance to get a few of those in 017 after their status?
Of course not, send them all to the south and west side
where they pay nothing.
They even use you're estate after you're dead ...

Whoops, sorry. This post was in regards to OCD losing up to 30 percent of its manpower for the expanded summer mobile unit this year.
Is this why the 016 District keeps referring and documenting "not a positive community interaction:?
Just wait when Jr. graduates the academy and is presented daddy's swag. He made it his worthwhile on Ch.11 WTTW that his son will soon be out of the academy as a sure in that he will pass with flying colors. I pity the fool who will be his FTO!
So legit question, What happens when the chgo police pension fund goes broke?

That is further from the truth than you can imagine. I work at the academy and unless someone pointed him out to you, you would never know he's the Superintendent's kid. He is very humble and stays way under the radar. He does everything he is suppose to do without question. He performs just like any other recruit and doesn't hang on daddy's coat tail. Very quiet guy who is actually doing quite well in training. I believe this is just his personality and the person he is.

===========
If they actually did engage in some kind of frame up they are no longer credible.
All the graduates will be going to the ghetto to satisfy the cop haters, community act and phony reverends in exchange for Rahm votes.
So legit question, What happens when the chgo police pension fund goes broke?
============
An honest answer is that no one really knows.
What happened in Harvey, IL a few days ago where 40% of the police and fire department was laid off largely to pay for pensions suggests one answer.
The problem is that the longer a real solution is put off makes the ultimate end game even worse for everyone.
The extra billion and a half dollars a year that would be needed to be raised in taxes and put into employee pension plans to shore them up properly is not exactly something anyone wants to see. but that is the magnitude of the problem.
Congratulations graduates. Sincerely wish you all the best.

He is affectionately known as Donnie Wahlberg, as in "Where's Wahlberg?" instead of "Where's the Superintendent's kid?".

No matter how you feel about the Sup, keep his kid out of it. He’s lived a productive life and has earned the right to be on this job like everyone else. Children are hands off.
I fully Understand why anyone working in this current political environment would hesitate to do any proactive police work. However, i can’t help but resent those tin star, hat band hangin, fop medallion sporting, story telling at parties, dog asses with time on the job. You were dog asses when times were good and police enjoyed public and political support and your dog asses now. Only difference is that now you’ve got a social and political climate that allows you to rationalize the guilt you’ve always felt for being the lazy dogass piece of shit you’ve always been...or maybe not, when you have no integrity it’s difficult to feel shame.
I’ve gotta to live here for about 10 more years and I’m not ready to surrender my community to the shitbirds. Just as Rome fell...so did Englewood and Marquette Park and Austin, suburbs of Evanston and Oak Park are next. I’m paraphrasing but I think the saying goes “Evil prevails when good men do nothing”. Just do the job you get paid to do, nothing more, nothing less. It’ll go a long way toward protecting the value of your property until you can flee this liberal cesspool at the very least
