See the Signs

Have you ever noticed that the people supposedly "in charge" don't seem to have any idea of what warning signs are? 

Cops hate change. Routine is comfortable. If you have a bunch of coppers and supervisors putting in PAR forms to leave a District or a Unit, there might be an underlying reason somewhere. 
  • At one point in our careers, a certain south side District had fifty or more officers detailed out and over a dozen sergeants working anywhere but their Unit of Assignment. 
  • A well known west side District under the regime of an especially incompetent Captain lost four lieutenants, a dozen sergeants and over eighty cops in just six months. A contact of ours in Personnel related that the number of PAR forms to leave averaged over seventy-five per month.
And downtown did nothing - they didn't recognize the signs of incompetent leadership. It's currently happening again in 002 with almost half of the lieutenants putting in PAR forms, half-a-dozen sergeants successfully moving out and officers filing nearly four dozen requests to move.

And again, downtown seems to be clueless.

Waller knows the truth. Unfortunately there is nowhere to hide the Camel Queen or her mumbling fool.
Who could possibly replace her noble leadership? Fenner or Ward? Boyd or Spradley? No matter what, the Deuce, um I mean the Second District is NOT the place to be.

No problem, just hire some of the 30 or so homeless that sleep in the lobby, doorway and sidewalk to help with the shortage.
Heard that Captain M (once Sgt Watts supervisor) is kind of an unNOBLE jerk too.
The CO is a total embarrassment like most of the current brass.

Plus the building stinks, has bedbugs, giant water bugs, and a high rate of cancer reported from retire officers that worked in the shithole.

Just today the 002 Commander herself, a Captain and the occasional copper stood in the lot admiring one of them Dodge Demon cars. They were out there eatin bags of chips as if it was a school field trip. I couldn’t get over the hair-do on the Commander...i’m sure the blonde is her natural color. Punk rocker.

005 went thru this years ago when Capt C-Dub was assigned there.

Let me give you a hint:
NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT PATROL.

If you were "someone", you'd be in a unit or a good spot. Not in Patrol, and more importantly, not in some shitty south or west side district.

There were about 60 PAR forms a period to leave 005 when C-Dub came there. "They" made her a Capt, and they got to put here somewhere. "They" (knowing here reputation) put her in 005.

Why?
Because she cant fuck up a place that's already fucked up. 005 used to be a great place to work... until she got there. Again, they wont send her to a district that matters: 001/018 are out of the question. 008,009? too many cops live there. They wont send her north. Do you want here in 004 or 022?

So they sent her to 005, and the downward spiral began. A ton of great cops left because of 1 person.

You think someone would care? oh hell no... She turned the whole Dist into shit. And downtown let her. Because no one gives a fuck about a shitty south or west side district.

You have to have a brain to see a pattern, remember these are all merit people you talking about. Without clout they would be on the back of a garbage truck somewhere. No that takes clout also, safe to say without the clout they would not be working in any meaningful job at all. But alas they are clouted clueless CPD administrative people. So much for any positive change.

The exempts in question maybe jagbags, but newly minted white shirts who reside on the north side will do anything to get away from the SouthSide, it’s commute, and it’s “community”. Infantile, moronic commanders are the last consideration.

I'm a Sgt in 002. The Commander and Captain are part of the reason of the mass exodus. The Commander nit picks nonsense and lets major things go. She doesn't know how to work the streets. That being said and earlier poster had part of the equation. The majority of the Supervisors who leave 002 are white. Birds of a feather flock together. The Black Commander, Captain, and Tact Lt are not going to to do anything for somebody white. A huge chunk of the white Supervisors also live on the northside. They want a shorter drive to work. Another part of the equation is to look at who comes to 002 as a new Sgt. Does 002 get anyone who didn't come from a unit or the dicks???? I've been in 002 for quite some time. We loose Sgts on a regular basis to the Units the Sgt came from as a PO. Another big chunk of Sgts are leaving again for greener pastures. That doesn't include those Sgts who could get out but the Commander is blocking. I've worked for worse bosses than CKS but, the place is run like a banana republic.

This reminds me of when a shuttle from AREA 51 dropped off LT J Andrews (aka JA) at the 011 District door, and he was then assigned to the 2nd watch. He attempted to reinvent the wheel's of Policing with his mind boggling ideas. He was known for berating and humiliating Female PO's, until they were in tears. He attempted to pull this BS on a few male PO's and they told him to F.O and lets take it in the parking lot. Of course he was a taken back by this and simply went into the WC office and closed the door like a COWARD! Typical Bully Boss trying to act tough in his white shirt.
The best scene was when CO G Evans ignored his Jibba Jabber at a staff meeting, and finally handed him a par form. Needless to say JA filled it out and fled to 008.

JA was so well like that at a Christmas party after being introduced by a former commander, only 1 FOOL(RB) clapped for him. The look on his face was priceless! Only a FOOL decks out his personal car and motorcycle to resemble a Police Vehicle. Thankfully this Bully Boss retired.

University of Chicago eliminates SAT/ACT requirement

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-university-chicago-sat-act-20180614-story.html

What next will CPD drop the 2nd grade entrance exam? Might as well they make most promotions "merit" why not the entrance process? The alderman could make more cash,as it stands now if your exempt the minimum payment is $10,000 and your required yearly to "give back" promotional merit exams fluctuate. On that note if you have been on CPD a minute you notice all the boisterous bluster when FOP is having an election, then as soon as they get in rahm and his peoples sit them down and tell them we gives you this and you do that! Notice the latest example "quiet Kevin" just like dean in the corner!

I work in 002. I cringe every time I hear or see her. She’s such an embarrassment with her misinformation, stupid hairdo, and bending over backwards to kiss the aldermens ass. There is no sense of priority. Everything is a knee jerk reaction. She contradicts her own orders within her long lectures. And once compstat gets close, she really gets crazy. I can’t stand her too bad she just turned 61 so we’ll be stuck with her for 2 more years. The only ones she takes care of are the noble members. They get away with murder.

That old 60’s adage still applies: sent packing the next day to midnights in the Deuce.
Getting dumped there doesn’t happen anymore unless you’re new and w/o a phone call.

Under JPud they couldn't give away Commander spots (i.e.HennyPenny).
Sending northsiders way south and vice versa and then came the ComPost Inquisitions.

Bidding out when you can to Pleasantville wherever it may be, is a rite of passage, no matter how long it takes.

I remember in the early 90’s there were 4 or 5 Bid openings at O’Hare, which at the time was a a hefty and very rare allotment.
Under the reign of Joe Curtin, there were over 50 interested bidders looking for those few spots.
Even the 2yr wonders put in PARs. Maybe just 2 old timers made it out.

I will say, nowadays Curtin looks like a prince in comparison to these incompetent multi merit, housemouse hacks of today, none of which done any serious street time.

It’s nothing new that today’s HQ doesn’t know its ass from a hole in the ground.
Merit hacks looking to toe the line and get a pension pickup.
It not about you, it’s about them.

Gotta run, I see a handful of ISR’s.

They left Escamerit in 025 after he made the newspapers. A form of punishment for pointing out how big of an idiot he is and how the whole merit process is a farce. It's not just like patrolmen were bidding out. Multiple Sgts and Lts left. Some by bid, others by phone call. He can get away with it because he blames them for poor policing. Through sheer luck the homicides have been down in 025. He takes credit for that saying it is because of his strategic placement of missions lol. The gang and tac cops along with the millennial blue shirts are too stupid to care that he takes all the credit. Works both ways Escamerit. When shit does happen, and it's not a matter of if but when, your dumb ass better take the fall. City Hall could care less that teams are made up of inexperienced, just off probation police officers. Just as long as they have the manpower to send to the shitty fests through out the summer. This department is a fucking joke.

Being incompetent or corrupt was never a criteria for losing one's command position. The only criteria is clout, who you know, who is backing you, who you are related to, etc. This rule usually holds true unless you really step on yourself and pose great embarrassment to city hall. Anyone who thinks that the superintendent actually makes most of these command changes is either stupid, lying or just stupid.Morale was never a concern for the democratic party.If not for the unions which gave some degree of bidding, it would be much, much worse.
