Hire Retirees?
How many of these guy still live in the city? And why would they come back?
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Supt. Eddie Johnson are calling on people to come forward and tell police who’s responsible for the 11 murders among 74 shootings over the weekend. Meanwhile, mayoral challenger Paul Vallas has a proposal to help make that happen.
Fear is why so many people in the high-crime communities don’t come forward. Vallas says if the police department would bring-back 400 retired detectives, some of that fear would go away.
“When you have enough experienced detectives working in the detective division,” says Vallas, “who the community knows and is familiar with, they’re gonna be more included to come forward and co-operate. So they’ll have more confidence that if they co-operate with the police officers, there’ not gonna be retribution.”
This is one of those ideas that looks good on paper, but in reality, has a snowball's chance in Hell to come to fruition. The logistics alone are daunting:
- pay (and how it affects pension), insurance, other benefits, union issues, liability, residency, disciplinary issues, shifts, expectations, the list is endless.
We see this only as a campaign issue.

Yea man, you gotta bring back Jon Burge and the "midnight crew" they always got results. Thems was good dicks.
Rham and Kidney Bean with claim those detective are from Chicago shadey past— when the police would scoop people up for crimes they did not commit or just made up—- and send people to prison—- I guess the constitution did not exist during this period and these guys did not have their day in court.
The sheeps will believe this and vote Rham🐀🐀🐀🐀 in office because he would had saved the city by not hiring these retired detectives
Why not promote 400 new detectives?
Because that’s what we all need. Retirees who have no clue about how the job is NOW telling everyone about the good ole days in area 4 blah blah blah. I respect the hell out of them and how they get the job done but it’s impossible today. They would be crazy to come back to this circus. It’s actually dangerous to come back now.
It's a different job, like being a salesman at Menards, so it won't affect pensions at all. City employee, might be required to live in the city, but loads of us still do because we have family responsibilities. If it's limited to admin work, liability is virtually nil, or they should be guaranteed to be indemnified.
It isn't as difficult an issue as you make it out to be. A lot of people would probably do it for a few years, to keep in touch with old co workers and to cover the rising cost of insurance and r.e. taxes.
Retired. Moved. Might come back for a ballgame........but to work for Rham? Nahhhh.
Blow me, I would never come back to this bullshit they've created. You would have to be nuts, with COPA, ACLU and the libs running the police department, fuck you tiny dancer.
Promote more detectives from patrol.
If you want to, hire back the retired detectives to teach the new ones in school.
Retired since 2015 due to reaching 63- wouldn't come back to work for Rahm or Eddie at triple the pay- enjoying my boat, jet ski, motorcycle, kayak and bicycle at my vacation home in Wisconsin. Only have been south of Irving park rd three or four times since retiring. Can't remember the last time some asshole gave me shit about anything- only have my own problems to solve. Life is good. Ill party on rahm's and eddie's graves where ever they get buried. Outliving them is what keeps me living healthy. We'll see who the last man standing is.
Hey! It would make a great movie!!
Inspector Dirty Harry Callahan comes out of retirement!
Clint Eastwood is 88 years old.
He could come back and start blasting mutha fuckers with his 44 Magnum while Bat Shit crazy Jon Burge electrocutes bastards with that black box.
I'd pay $12 bucks to see that movie!
I'll come back but only if a two hour nap each working day is included I my contract.
Bring back retired detectives ? I’m assuming the FOP would have something to say about that since there’s an active detective list. There’s no way that wouldn’t end up in a lawsuit. I’m close and if I lost my potential spot to a retired detective, you can bet I’ll join the club and seek an attorney to file a lawsuit. I’ve never ever considered suing someone, but it seems pretty popular in the department.
Uhm, Rahmie? You know that all those retired detectives, are by definition over 50, right? You also know that you can't draft them, right? What do you possibly have to offer to them to bring them back? Alright, fellow readers, new contest: What would Rahmie have to offer to get those Detectives to come back? Me first, one free execution of a homicide offender, by the Detective. Per year!
Nice thought, but in reality, the new "be the change" police department is not the place for a seasoned, knowledgeable veteran of old. The retirees would be aghast once they personally observed the condition of their once-proud police department. And, if that wasn't enough, the seasoned retirees would up with the middle finger and walk out the door as soon as some incompetent merit slug half or one-third their age unceremoniously told them how to do the job. File this idea in the round file.
Good luck !
Officers are leaving this department like their ass is on fire.
Way too little, way too late.
I can see it now. Seventy eight year old Detective with Pre-Alzheimers in the box with the perpetrator. The cognitively impaired detective keeps asking the perpetrator the same three questions over and over, and over. The thug is bound to crack after two hours of it. The only problem is, will anyone know how to write down his confession?
High caliber of thinker we have running for mayor.
Just make 400 off the list & no merit so I can make it and clear up murders rates. What are you talking about bringing in some old timers that abuse the medical..
Left 10 years ago from the job, left ILLinois 3 years ago for warm and sunny AZ. I wouldn't return for less than $1 million a year.
I can’t stand working for these ass-holes one more day then I have too.....
When I retire they won’t see me ever again! Three more years! And they can fuck this popsicle stand!
Fuck Rahm and the horse he rode in on (Special ED)!
Anything that shuffles this rimjob mayor off into a buffalo's ass is fine with me.
I'd come back for my pay plus my retirement salary. Let me know, Mr. Vallas.
p.s. Yes, I still live in the ciry.
Let’s hire Daley to come back out of retirement to help Rahm run the city.
If you are a retiree and even think for a second about coming back and working for cpd you need your head examined. You have no idea how much has changed and how bad it has gotten. Go get a job anywhere but here. We are serving prison sentences just waiting to get out to where your at. Don’t volunteer yourself to go into this prison.
They’ll probably make the retired detectives get ‘bump cards.’
I'm retired. Detective and Sergeant. There is no way in hell I'd go anyway in hell I'd go back to the job, just from reading the blog. I recently saw an exempt talking stuff on TV. I wouldn't let this guy shine my shoes, let alone tell me how to be a police officer.
I get more money being retired then working you got to be nuts fuck this city I have been collecting my pension for over 15 years keep the cheeks rolling I all try to leave some crumbs when I leave this earth
I understand that Commander Burge and his crew are coming back.
What an idiot. Why does this guy think they retired for in the first place?
Right now they are just pulling shit out their ass's. They know there is only one answer but none have the balls for it. Besides we wouldn't trust them anyway even if they said "crack down" now that they have fucked us in each and every orifice.
This will never happen. First off, we have ERI now , which blows the retirement confession ratio out the window. This is all smoke and mirrors. The older guys I worked with, some were good, but nothing special with solving cases. Vallas is turning into a fool with statements like that.
Only a small number of psychos or thrice divorced bustouts who were forced out at 63 would come back.
Where’s my insurance?
So a retired officer who has made it to retirement with assets and pension intact and is reasonably healthy is going to risk it all to come back to deal with COPA and the "community" in 2018?
Hardee har har
For criminals, crime pays. If you get caught you get pizza and are back out in no time to make those snitches pay. The citizens always pay and fear in part of life in these neighborhoods.
Overtime is pointless, when it comes to solving these problems.
Reporting is dead, Why have press conferences anymore when Rahm basically writes the articles. He must take some sick pleasure out of being Special Ed’s puppet master.
“We are better than this”, HA! Pathetic and sad, but mostly sad.
We definitely need oldschool police officers back;

Now get off of my lawn!
How about having all those Sociology and Psych majors who have amassed large student loan bills be assigned to each residence as "Mommy or Daddy" in the problem areas to work off their student loans. Now there is a Liberal solution.
Pay me $45.00 per Hour weekends off no thanks
Retired detectives? They would have to get their sportcoats and non matching pants out of storage.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
I truly love it when the idiots in charge of this city come up with stupid ideas....it only makes them look more stupid.
i bet a Hollywood script writer can come up with the perfect plan to tame the mean streets.
just blast every motherfucker.
I left 5 years ago due to mandatory age. I'm in great shape and would come back. The city needs money right? Hire retired guys back for every district as code enforcement officers etc. I know it sounds dumb, but it works. Or part time patrol. The burbs have many part timers. We are not all talkers who would say, back in the day kid. Some of us were good coppers and had great knowledge.
Why would anyone who went thru hell to get to the promised land come back for more abuse?
Why not just push back the retirement age to keep the ones you already have?
Based on the posts on this blog there is a one way OUTBOUND migration.

Click on issues and enjoy what’s coming. Get the message out
Yeah come back and get sued and fired by the lynch mob called COPA. Lose your pension sure
Retirees and light duty officers should work all the admin spots. Every other officer should be on the street. End of story.
Give a waiver to retirees who have moved out of the City.
While we’re at it, let working officers move out of the City after 10 yrs service.
Wow, that was difficult. Manpower problem solved, recruitment solved, and officers experienced with the workings of the Department would be handling administrative tasks instead of civilians (some of whom can nor be trusted with sensitive information) or perfectly healthy and able coppers.

Just shut up and send the check tiny one and keep your comments to yourself
I believe they retired to get away from all that Bullshit!
How the hell are you going to hire retired detective's ? How is that going to affect their pensions? liability? medical insurance? WHAT does FOP say of this ?
Hire retirees for 1/2 the pay of the full duty cowards that shuffle papers , watch the shot spotter,answer telephones for commander ,deputy chief , stuperintendent, guarding the mayors home 24/7 , sit outside mayors office in city hall , sit in court rooms , hire civilians .
Riiiiiiiight. Bring back a guy that retired 10 years ago.
Picture this...Retired guy enters crime scene. Ill fitting sport coat, shirt stained, and wrinkled pants. First question he asks blue shirt? "What the fuck is this red tape?" Next, blue shirt tells retired guy, "There's a DVR in that apartment that captured footage of the shooter." Retired guy, "WTF is a DVR?" Finally, Blue shirt says, "go talk to the shorty sitin on the divy, he's got a snapchat of the whole thing!" Retired guy replies, "????"
And...scene

It's Vallas' plan.
Hire them back thru the County as Deputy Sheriffs, part time, assigned to CPD Detective Division, Sheriff, and States Attorneys Office. It's all about experience and know how, in getting the job done. Chicagos all about politics. How many CPD Detectives are useless paper shufflers who never solve even a few crimes a year ? Many.
It’s only part time work to be support personnel not an active Detective again getting cases.
This department is already to old according to the DOJ report, let’s get the retiree health coverage for anyone 50 with 20 years, and start hiring more YOUNGER officers. Retired guys enjoy retirement.
Why in the world would a retiree still be living in this shithole?
Oh yeah lets do that:
Do you feel lucky punk:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xjr2hnOHiM
Then old prosecutors:

Yep old retired guys will want to come back! Who indemnify them,after making it their careers and coming out with that pension and not losing freedom,family,bank accounts as many coppers are doing today? What if they get hurt coming back OTJ? IOD? Or good-bye? Will never work sorry will never return no matter what the pay may be!
So the old detectives will be able to solve this:
EDITORIAL: 71 shot, and no arrests? Chicago pays high price for police mistrust
https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/chicago-police-reform-police-academy-rudy-giuliani/
Retirees should also be on the desks in every district. Get the house dollies back on the street.
I would not come back to the Chicago Police Department, no matter how much they wanted to pay me. The politicians have made the risks way to high and I would put my future in jeopardy. Now, they could bring some retirees and have them work in the detective division calling victims from case reports or doing administrative work and free up detective for the street, but never to work active cases on the street again as a sworn officer.No one in their right mind would take that job.What the mayor and the media fail to mention, ever, is the fact Rahm has made the police department one of his political patronage strongholds and has given in to the liberal forces and crushed morale and desire of the working cops. It will not come back for a generation.And, this is not to mention the crushing forces brought to bear from Preckwinkle and Dart and Foxx.

some old retired gumshoe going to get your spot in rbt, i'm gonna sue, hahahaha...
Exactly how many times do you see/meet/talk to a detective that you would actually remember them? I
It’s all in the stats. The old timers knew how to kill crime and clear crime on paper. Remember the old saying “a sharp thief can steal more with a pen and paper than 100 can with a gun”.
Remember there are two ways to clear crime. By arrest and exceptionally by paper.
I’m retired.... never was a detective.... but they can hire me back and I assure you I’ll at least maintain that 17% clearance rate.
I’ll even give CPD a “Home discount” $45 an hour.
Rahm and Mr. Wheezie both need to retire.
That’d be a tremendous start.
Hold on Juniors...you’re primary job responsibilities are not going to be compromised under the proposed plan.
Your case is yours fully, they’re only giving you a helper you can trust.
They won’t do interviews, crime scenes, canvassing or GPRs.
When they opened the new OEMC they rehired retired Real P.O. dispatchers...for awhile until the community complained about jobs.
The whole operation went south after that, above and beyond all the corruption tied to Management.
Retirees could supplement the Det Div big time, as experienced inside gophers but not as field agents that are bound by subpoenas.
Same applies to CAPS and Desk nonsense. No need to waste the youth on clerical duties.
Too many already, waaaaaaaay younger Dets, found spots as clerks and fear the outside world of interviews and court.
The Retiree can do the digging up of info beyond that of the ordinary, disinterested, biased and questionable civilians.
Plenty of retirees left if not for age but the bullshit that wreaks from the all idiocy conjured up from 26th & Cal.
Think a retiree wants to be traveling thru the ghetto just to go Shithole courts?
Part time, I’d consider it but not expecting it to happen, maybe they’d try it for a year or two.
Excess money will always be allocated for Sanctuary First efforts.
But Vallas, he’s no pandering weasel snake like Rahm or Bullshit Special Ed.
DROP that pipe dream idea already.
Either hire new people or cut down on what officer work on.
I still have my old white traffic hat. Can I work the traffic car on LSD?
Yes, the problem is the age of the detectives, not the cone of silence. Maybe a few of the retirees would come back if they could double dip.
I'll come back and I'll convince my brother to come back with me. We both know how to work evidence and recovered property.
They should let all the cops who switched over to fire work on their days off in a part time capacity, pension, healthcare, it all stays with fire. Shit i'd even pay FOP union dues to come back for 2 days a week. I honestly miss the greatest show on earth. not enough to come back but just a little. hahahaha.
A lot of other state agencies do this already. California agencies did this not to long ago. They offered retired officers the opportunity to return to duty under a 3 year $300,000 lump sum contract. They don't receive health care or pension benefits for this. They were used to fill in the gap for the patrol division.
Send the retired Detectives to the Patrol Division to teach patrol sgt.'s.
I've never heard a gold star say " we need
A Sgt on scene, they all ask when are the

OT but prayers for the the two detectives ambushed in NJ.
The 17 hour (one way) commute would kill me, no thanks!!
Sheeeettt! I'm a current Detective who's over 50 with 28 years on who would be retired if not for the city going back on its promise of free health care at 50 when I was hired in 1990. You think I want to come back retired and get screwed over again?
There are many detectives who are in administrative spots and do no detective work at all. Fill those with them and put the detectives where they belong.

Go for it. The attorney will appreciate the retainer. Doubt they can bring back a detective in that role. Maybe as a civilian doing the CMO files which would free up detectives or as a civilian answering phones instead of a detective, but not as sworn
So if they make an arrest, will they sign themselves in the court absentee book for the next 3 years so they don't have to fly in from naples, FL?
"all hands on deck" approach is a smokescreen. remember there is an election coming up. how bout getting rid of the ISR (the only reason that I don's stop anyone)?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Enjoying your retirement, then get involved in a shooting.
1. Lose your pension.
2. Go broke paying legal fees.
3. Die and early death from all the stress.
No thanks.
It's not going to take away from any open Detective positions! These guys would be part time. Doing all the little time consuming stuff that Detectives have to do. This would let Detectives actually BE Detectives. As I am a Detective I would welcome all the help. Not having the drive witnesses to Grand Jury and search for them! Um yes I would totally want that!
Anything that shuffles this rimjob mayor off into a buffalo's ass is fine with me.

Don’t be mean to buffaloes.
But what's even the point of bringing back retirees if all their work comes to nothing when Foxx won't bring charges?
Why would anyone want to come back and risk EVERYTHING? Pension, freedom, savings and home?
Id rather look up my butt with a mirror than work in that shit hole ever again. Fuck that city fuck that department. Hire liberals to hand out hugs!
That the community is comfortable with, so if you are the 50 retired African American Detectives your in, if you are the retired Caucasians forget it!
no snitching by the low lifes,.. harboring these criminal assholes ,,then they bitch about violence.... go get St sabina's fr faker and soup kitchen fake cardinal stupich along with pope obama
those old guys in the areas were good. But, it’s a different job now. Plus, would you trade south beach, fishing and slot machines for this mess? And their bad suits don’t fit
Why doesn't Vallas offer health insurance for retirees? That could get him some votes.
Disban the entire department and start and over like the goofs want done with ICE. Annex the Cities South and West sides. Then hire a private security company to police the New Chicago. Think of all the money the city will save... no 911 center, Streets and Sans, Fire and Ambulances. Make the city smaller and more efficient. Yeah thats the ticket. Let Calumet City, Riverdale, Cicero, Alsip, Blue Island and Oak Park all share the pain and grow in size.
Arnold Palmer sport coats can still be found on eBay for any old timers thinking of returning......

That’d be akin to Chinese Water Torture
On Tuesday, the Police Department refused to release current data on how many homicides and shootings it solves — known as clearance rates — telling the Tribune to file a Freedom of Information Act request. (From Tribune today) It is amazing how quick Rahm and Eddie tout the statistics that show "crime is down" yet refuse to say what the clearance rate is. What about transparency Rahm?
CPD checks were the 1st and the 16th. Now mine is only once a month. So much less stress.
Isn’t it funny how the politicians love us when they need us, but hate us when the community is upset (McDonald)?
At least it's an idea that would get some results

If you believe they wouldn’t be “touching” open homicides you’re a moron! Also, I agree with the earlier poster, if you’re on the Dicks list you better call your union and DEMAND you’re hired before some washed up retiree whose only intention is making some easy $$$. Remember, when they were old timers all they talked about was seniority- well, we listened guys And you taking an active dues paying member isn’t going to happen without a lawsuit.
Legalize Bounty Hunters in Chicago.
Send them out for donuts and coffee. Think of all the time saved by having these guys so the running. Maybe this could get the clearance rate to 16-17%. Wow grate idea.
Part of the proposal makes sense but bring bake those streetwise retirees in a training capacity for recruits academy training the initial phase is important it will produce better officers which could move them towards detective rank . Also upgrade the FTO program the department has to make a serious effort to attract and maintain quality training officers. With that said the politicians in this town care more about retaining office then to give the voters a realistic expectation of what they're entitled to.
Start by stopping any cold case work who cares if by some stroke of lick you clear a 25 year old homicide. It is a total waste of time when you have hundreds of current cases to work on. Fire the worthless head of deceives, she could not detect tampon in an girls sorority. Years of failed leadership and results, she must be really good on her knees is all I can say. This is a case of who you know and who you blow.
"I'd consider it too, if they would only allow us to watch porn in our underwear and smoke cigarettes on our lunch and personal breaks..."
That's the Fire Dept you're thinking of
Great idea why not bring back retired Mayors as well. Be careful what you wish for.

Wow thanks for all the years of service as the real police. The guy that wrote this probably writes retirees and Police families traffic tickets. Junior, Most real Police have forgotten more about Police work than you'll ever learn with that piss poor attitude. Hoping you're not on the job and just trolling .
To all those ragging on the old timers. Would put their numbers against the current crop of genius merit wonders. 15% three years running. Great job guys and gals. You should be ashamed every time you collect your pay.
They want to know who is responsible for these shootings and Murders?
Well I can tell you, its Rahm and the Democrat Party who are Responsible.

Listen, do you think McCarthy is any better? The guy STILL says we have enough police at 12,500. Remember his comstat bullshit! Please Vallas is our only hope!
Stay away once you have left. Once your name goes on a report your dragged into a case and left open for lawsuits. Plus you get to work for shaky bosses who will also sell you out. Why would you want to get back into the aggravation game again. But there are guys who are taking the pipe on insurance and would run back to the job. As they say use caution on this one and think out the consequences when it goes bad,and it will go bad in this current atmosphere. Good luck with this one.

Sounds like you really enjoyed your time on the CPD. Strange that you didn’t want to be the police then , but now 17 years later you want to be the police. Yep, you are just what the CPD needs to solve the problem
Mid 60' retired and tenured dick here. No way can the body now handle the streets as is. We are done with. The mind is sharp but dealing with punk ass hoods of the ghetto would not go with us. The policing of old is dead, RIP. You young bucks got your hands full being a dick today. The stress level is way beyond what us old dicks endured.

Barry and Rahm and a very clueless and idiot array of total merit gold stars are enough to make us old timer' puke. Chief' like Stapes and Sanchez....please ! The Sanchez got more baggage from later old days then a bag man, and is quite lucky not being in a federal joint.
The dick' and patrol guys today are treated like they are rabid dogs by the brass, politicians, and of course Special Ed and Rahm. They did an unforgiveable P.R stunt after the brave and good cmdr of 018 was murdered and played it to no end. Rahm and Eddie are classless chumps and not worth the dog shit in my alley.
Valles will get my vote anyway. Lightfoot would love to make Lincoln park a total section 8 housing area. on our dime. Racists lives and strives in Chicago and it is not the white and brown folks playing this old game already for two centuries.
God watch over all my hero' in blue.
Who in there right mind would come back to bizarro world?
I'm leaving next year. I'm fed up with this dump of a city. Moving out of state and never coming back.

I'm retired. Detective and Sergeant. There is no way in hell I'd go anyway in hell I'd go back to the job, just from reading the blog. I recently saw an exempt talking stuff on TV. I wouldn't let this guy shine my shoes, let alone tell me how to be a police officer.

Yes, I know which exempt your referring to. He was shining shoes at the Northwestern Train station at Canal and Washington in the 60's when I was selling newspapers at a newspaper stand there. Chicago American, Daily new and the Tribune papers.

I can see it now. Seventy eight year old Detective with Pre-Alzheimers in the box with the perpetrator. The cognitively impaired detective keeps asking the perpetrator the same three questions over and over, and over. The thug is bound to crack after two hours of it. The only problem is, will anyone know how to write down his confession?

"Perps?" The "Box?" Watch a lot of TV, eh kid? BTW, nothing less than a court order would get me to go back to work for that shitshow that calls itself a "Police Department." Why anyone would even contemplate being bound by those rules and regulations, not to mention COPA and some of the supervisors there, now is beyond me. Hell, my last 2 years as a dic I didn't want to be there when I was supposed to be.
All these stupid comments about the retired dicks coming back. First of all that will never happen and second hardy anyone would ever come back. And don't make fun of them. They are our family were young once like you and did this job and you will be old and retired one day if you make it.

Blow me, I would never come back to this bullshit they've created. You would have to be nuts, with COPA, ACLU and the libs running the police department, fuck you tiny dancer.

You could not survive, the job changed so much.... Body cam, ISR, TRR, etc. Go drive UBER!

UBER sucks all it takes is some fake impaired driving allegation from a disgruntled rider because you won't take their kid without a child seat or go through the drive thru and you are deactivated worst job in the world no recourse.

Why doesn't Vallas offer health insurance for retirees? That could get him some votes.

He did!!!! Last month! SCC posted it and it was in the papers. It’s also on his website: vallasforallchicago.com

Thank you for that info. Retired and live out of state. Don't read this chicago stuff to much.

You don't have a yearning to talk to a few more skells?
Why didn't we ever have a cool name for an arrestee?
You would have to be a complete moron to come out of retirement and be subjected to all the insanity,(COPA,et,al).that has the potential to ruin your life.

If you REALLY have the desire to work (Ugh! I hate that word) Menards is hiring.
Why the fuck would ANYONE want to come back to this dreadful job after retirement ???????
I'm the guy who posted about coming on back in 1981. Believe me I have no desire to come back after 17 years away, it was a JOKE. I started a succesful "S" corp business afterwards and have done very well, thank you. No Uber or Menard's for this boyo, lol.

Glad you have a successful business and have done very well. Wouldn’t have made in comedy
Successful in business and you still have to spend time reading and commenting on SCC. Interesting
