House Mouse Numbers Rising
- At a time when the city is pushing to add more officers to the Chicago Police Department, there are hundreds of sworn officers who are not on the streets fighting crime.
CBS 2 [...] reports, according to the Inspector General’s office, last year nearly 800 sworn officers were working in units that the Inspector General previously analyzed and told the city the majority of those jobs could be done by civilians, like clerical work and human resources.
Many of those jobs are based at the Chicago Police Department headquarters.
Don't just stop at Headquarters. There's plenty more:
- Fully trained Evidence Technicians performing secretarial duties instead of attempting to collect crime scene evidence to solve Chicago's dismal clearance rate - some are even married to high ranking staff - gotta get the extra salary without the danger you know;
- Detectives off the street sorting and filing case reports - addressed slightly by Paul Vallas' "hire the retiree" push, but probably a pipe dream. Again, a lot of marriages;
- Specialized units - we won't even go into the connected couples that litter the units, but it would certainly be an interesting undertaking for an ambitious reporter;
- FTO's, the supposedly most important job in the Department when it comes to training new officers - in offices, at the Academy, tucked away in all sorts of spots, all in violation of their job title (FIELD Training Officers).
There's plenty more in other spots. But this one is hilarious:
- The number of sworn officers in human resources jumped from 23 to 81. The Inspector General report also noted civilianizing the jobs could save the city between $6.4 million and $16.6 million a year.
Human Resources wasn’t the only unit to see a dramatic increase in officers The Field Services unit jumped from 37 to 132, and the Alternate Response Section ballooned from 36 to 149.
Human Resources expanded to handle the influx of new hires. No big deal. But the Alternate Response Section is where the Department tucks away those accused of misconduct. And the reasons those numbers are rising are because Special Ed is stripping Officers who legally and lawfully defend themselves or their partners, and hold over officers who were on the periphery of other scandals.There are probably fifty or more officers who could be released for street duty tomorrow if Mr. Fenner would close cases that should have been closed years ago. But that might be politically uncomfortable for some.

How many district front offices are bloated with 3 and 4 secretaries, 3 and 4 COMPSTAT people, extra review people etc., etc.
Shine a bright light and see what’s slithering around.
Meanwhile most district watches can barely man the cars.
I’m an old retired guy and I could walk through a station and fairly easily spot the bloat and dead weight.... how come none of the bosses seem to be able to?
Hire an office to sort and schedule a set of town hall meetings with victims and families of the deceased— gotta bring bring change to the community there Kidney Bean
You honestly believe the increase in HR is all due to hiring...not a chance...and let’s not even talk about all the money paid to outside civilian vendor to do the majority of background investigations and the insanity which says sworn secretaries need to be creating boilerplate cover sheets for less than rigorous approval review by white shirts whose only qualification is who they know and how much they love overtime.
It's just the way things are done and the Chicago Way. No one in a leadership position really cares.
Send those lazy SLUGS back to the streets
The biggest waste of money is the city hiring civilians to work the desk on all three watches in all the districts. They were supposed to do reports and free up the police officers so they could go back to the streets. But not one damm cop ever left the station so now we have double the people inside doing nothing. How sick! Why even hire the civilians if the city never intended to put the desk cops back on the street?
630 has 3 detectives working for the commander. 2 full duty answering the phones, 2 pregnant detectives shuffling paper work (why not at call back?) And other assorted non workers.
Take a peek in the radio room @ Public Transportation Section. You didn’t hear it from me...
We have more armed secretaries in the station than we do on the street answering jobs.
As he steams himself n his friends toward a $ grab with his moves in the upper echelon of the dept, many others suffer. He’s been a minstrel for “police reform” yet signed off n agreed to everything on the “Laquan” case. Meanwhile he’s been instrumental in assisting a certain Narcotics team from avoiding trouble and facilitated undeserved promotions while violent crime has accelerated, despite his ridiculous statements to the contrary. And he’s worked to fire and strip others for lesser, and unproven, offenses. Eddie is not a Supt. He’s a sad pawn that has zero respect from the rank n file of a department that he has literally castrated. As Supt he’s 100% responsible for the mass disorganization and shit leadership that is what the CPD is now. He’ll go down as one of the prime players responsible for turning this city into a place where tourists are afraid to travel to and citizens are less safe. I hope it was all worth it for him. I’m sure he snores well at night. Keep workin hard for him
That's taking fetal to new heights...
All of the bosses and politician spouses,
bed-mates and side-pokes gotta have cushy
inside spots instead of being on the streets
and at the not so tender mercies of Dude Inc.
Rham rather have more offices shuffling around papers and collecting a paycheck to pay outrageous taxes (all to Rhams benefit)... rather than working a beat...
Cause this absolutely reveals it— that Rham can complain about police incompetence, and have his property tax money too. Talking about having your cake and eating it whole
In support of the cleared officers in callback I say...”let them go! Let them go!”
Man, every one I know is trying to get an inside spot. The street is just too dangerous now, and I'm not even talking about catching a bullet.
Definitely look at the wives married to the rank of Commander or above. Usually their wives are Sergeants hidden in some office job.
City Hall runs the Department. If the Mayor has to take care of a few hundred 'special' people, to wage his political war, then so be it. I mean, that's the reality. How many Lt.'s and Sgt.'s are at the academy? You'd be shocked! The real priority should be who runs the streets. But you know what that entails, the occasional bad outcome on body cam; Heap bad for Tribe, heap bad for Chief.
OT: so I was in Phase one of summer mobile and the LT’s were pretty good to us, they even treated both watches to an outdoor Taco truck ffeast on our last day . not to sure how the day LT was to work for since I worked 3rd watch but I tell ya these LT’s really tried to make a miserable working situation tolerable .I don’t know where Lt K worked in the past but I am sure glad he was in summer mobile . He rreally took care of his guys. He also took charge on some scenes in the district when no other bosses would make a decision. I worked summer mobile last year and this was 1000 times better. Originally I wasn’t going to post anything but then I hear that the phase 2 guys all were fed donuts and drinks right out of roll call welcoming them to Phase 2. And Lt Kane and Wallace encouraged everyone to eat and welcomed them all! Keep up the great work Lt k and Lt W! Summer mobile sucked but it was refreshing to see some bosses look out for their guys!
Worst part about house mouses is how arrogant they carry themselves thinking that they are the real police
how can you put them on the street when you have no fucking cars to put them in?
Close cases, or review and fired some officers for their dastardly deeds? The so called "WORKING" at headquarters, is nothing more than a sweet gig for most. My neighbor is warehoused there, comfortably tucked away from society for her misdeeds. Claiming it is nothing but a cake walk, and boasts about her pay scale for doing nothing. She should had been fired years ago, for her disgusting act towards another women. Yet, she is actually proud of her actions, but also has some screws loose. She has 5 years left, and claims she's going to bilk it for all she can get. It is persons like this, that give us a bad name.
Be careful of what you wish for. Anytime they replace police personnel with civilians it takes 2 to 4 civilians to do the job of the police they replace. And they are either political patronage stooges or members of lets say connected members of choirs. They are not your friends for one thing they are getting paid less so they resent you. And they work at postal speed. Also less money paid into pensions when they eliminate police jobs. And when you can't work the street anymore there will be no inside jobs. Think of it this way would you want a civilian sitting next to you in a squad? Of course the answer is to hire more police. I have worked inside and out. Sometimes those inside jobs require a lot more work like fast districts vs slow districts. And there are lazy and hard workers on both sides.

Hahahahaha, go to bed Bob you’re drunk. You already managed to get a spot in 001 from 003 or 004 out of it, no need to try and further press the issue. They don’t need a LT in news affairs or your “social media” experience.
My opinion is that the Supt. and his chosen staff are finding spots for their people (folks) to take care of them prior to the Supt. leaving in the near future.
But then again you know what they say about opinions...
You’ve got 25 years on and have done your time on the street? Tuck yourself away and enjoy a koosh spot inside. You’ve got 3 years on and some juice? Take your happy ass into a damn near car and do your time. Even if it’s in an easy district, grow a sack and drive the damn car. This isn’t some desk job.
Why the fuck do we have 5 PO's in the front office,6 or 7 PO's in the CAPS office,and 4 footmen on any given day???? Put these PO's on the streets !!!!!
Dear SCC,
I know that you have made it your priority to bring to light topics that the mainstream media would never publish. Which is why I could not help but notice while working special employment in the 018th District that there are Officers assigned to the Cardinals house. Beat 1888 3rd Watch of the 018th District starts at 1300 hours and is relieved by a 1st watch officer at 2130 hours and works the midnights shift.
There are several issues that I have with this detail. First of all, why are Chicago Police Officers being utilized to provide what I feel is a job that should be provided by private security? This detail is to provide safety and security to the Cardinal Blase Cupich residence at 15XX N. State Parkway. However what is interesting is that the Cardinal does not reside there. He lives at Holy name Cathedral a different location then where the Cardinals detail shows up daily. https://www.google.com/amp/www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-archbishop-cupich-residence-met-20141022-story,amp.html
So then my question is then why are there two Officers assigned to the Cardinals residence when in fact he does not reside there? What is also interesting is the Cardinals detail has been around since Richard J. Daley became Mayor in 1955. I am all for Officers getting good assignments but where is the separation of Church and State? If we are providing private security for the Archdiocese of Chicago why are we not providing Chicago Police Officers to other religious denominations and sects?
I was told that when you are on the Cardinals detail you show up with a radio and sit around watching television in the basement of the Cardinals Mansion. The Nuns cook for you but keep a close eye on you. If the Nuns go grocery shopping you help them bring groceries in the Cardinals house. To me with the current manpower shortage this has to be the biggest waste of two Chicago Police Officers on the Department. What is also interesting is a former 018th District Lieutenant now a Captain/XO told the current 3rd Watch officer assigned to the Cardinals residence that he would be back on the street three years ago. Well some phone calls were made and guess what happened? That is correct absolutely nothing.
So what does that tell you about this 63 year old Chicago Police Department detail? It is not going anywhere anytime soon. Do the math and you will see how much money this detail has cost taxpayers. When the department cries about not having money for overtime or not having enough Officers to keep the downtown area safe. Or residents in the 018th District who pay the highest property taxes in the city that get little police service because of manpower shortages. Or the tourists that come in from all over the world to see our city and are helping pay our salaries, who are being unnecessarily victimized think about the Cardinals detail!
How about Crazy Kim in Mass Transit , a secretary with a take home car, her daddy is the syrup king of Chicago , comes in late everyday, arrogant, screaming at Sgts, takes Sgts assigned cars always sitting in her cubicle wolfing down jerk chicken
Just look at all the house mouses at ohare. It took me 26 years to get to ohare, we just had a female with 10 years come here and guess where she came from headquarters. This police department is a fucking joke!!
Let's keep in mind all the nonsense that goes along with hiring civilians who now have access to private and privileged information. Some are police haters thank you CPS, media, social norms, liberals etc. . (I have my own experience with a racist civilian timekeeper) and the civilian clerks in the courts passing along victim information and changing information so that offenders were released (in error) because of processing while at court. . . . I could go on and on

This sounds like it was written by a former sergeant at news affairs.
The forensic unit is the biggest joke.. there is FI’s making D3 pay working inside. Give me a break we have the most murders in the country and FI’s don’t work the street. The dept is lost.
Take officers out of caps. Better yet, get rid of caps. The program doesn't work. It does not help society. It doesn't change the perspective of most people. Because no one new from the community gets involved just the same people with nothing else to do. And let's be honest. Those aren't the ones causing trouble. Those are not the people who have bad opinions of the police. So, why keep a program like caps that has proven to be a failure across every district. Just because people have a good time at some gathering that caps put on and take photos eating hotdogs and ice cream does not mean the program is a success. It means that the city is wasting money paying sworn officers to have parties to feed the same nothing else to do citizen all so a photo can be posted somewhere online; proving that department is connecting with citizens. GET RID OF THE PROGRAM. IT DOES NOT WORK. ITS A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS DOLLARS. PLUS THERE ARE UP TO 7 SWORN OFFICERS IN EACH CAPS OFFICE. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

There he is!! How have you been? I bet you’re still ok with residency too because your 3 bedroom ranch is worth 500k, according to you. The “be careful what you wish for guy.” No thanks, put the COWARDS back on the street asap. Yeah, i’m good with that.
Is there a lot clouted, connected, dead weight at hq? Of course. But please keep in mind that a large percentage of officers are there for limited duty. Officers fighting cancer, work related injuries that would otherwise force them onto disability, and many other health problems that would put fellow officers in danger if they were on the street. Don't judge til you've walked a mile.

Cmon snow flake, there’s no way your soft enough to put down on a CPD blog that your happy with summer mobile cuz these “bosses” bought you some god damn food!?!? In today’s world, you probably are. The fake ass CPD does not have any more real bosses. Their ALL terrified little bitches now a days. You poor misguided kid. Daddy told you when you got hired last year that the job is in great shape and you can run and gun like he did back in the 1980’s-90’s huh? Give it a few years junior, you’ll wake the fuck up eventually. Until then, save every penny you can while living in mom and dad’s basement. You’ll need it to make the payments on your brand new Jeep Wrangler and that thin blue line punisher tattoo. Oh, and keep reaching for that rainbow!
How bout the Caps princess in 22.....she is on the 3rd watch sheets even though she works 2nd watch. So she gets great furlos and then when a bad detail comes up where they need bodies she refuses saying that she can't go because she is on 3rd watch.
qualifications for working inside. commander's friend, bosses kids, alderman's neighbor, ass kissing brown nosed sad sack, under water specialist, etc.... Inside spots should ALL be open to bid and most senior officer in that unit who bids for that spot should get it. It's called seniority, not nepotism, cronyism, or parochialism.
Don't forget forensics having 3 people assigned to the morgue. This has always been done by one person. Now there are 2 ET's and one FI permanently assigned there and never work the street.
Look at the airports.... they have increased overwhelmingly in the last eight or nine months....you can get a 100 or so out of there and put them back on the street....they got no time on the job and not ready to retire
And you want these useless slugs backing you up?
Let’s talk about it Vallas said...
Each time they hire new officers, promote more detective and promote new Sgt’s the more the current ones think they are supposed to run and hide on the inside. I blame the Commanding officers of each unit for this. District desks filled with miserable officers who refuse to give citizens reports and decent police service. Officers with less than three years running to CAPS and TACT, trying to avoid radio calls. Ghost payroll officers and detectives who we never see in districts or Areas, but they are somehow being carried on the A&A’s. Officers left sitting in call back for 4-5 years. FTO who are chronic medical abusers. FTO’s who are borderline crazy with tons of lawsuits and CR’s. PPO aren’’t learning anything these days.
Detectives without case loads assigned to desk jobs, answering phones, working in the Case Management Office, filing and doing timekeeping. Three Evidence Techicians assigned to work the entire city, because the rest are assigned to desk jobs and leave work each day at 1130hrs. Full duty E/T’s assigning other E/T’s jobs.
Too many inside officers, watches can barely man the cars. Officers have to be split up from their partners to cover the watch.
What about the FI working inside in forensics making $90,000 in OT every year and has a take home car.
Don't forget all the ET's in the firearms Lab. That office is like the clown car packed in sitting on each other's laps.
Worst part about house mouses is how arrogant they carry themselves thinking that they are the real police
You must be talking about the lady with the wig on the 002nd district desk? Or the F/1 lunatic on the 001st District desk, 3rd Watch.
You forgot watch secretaries who “hurt” their knees running races on their own time at alternate response. How about running back on the street or leave and go home.
I laugh when I hear people assigned to the Headquarters talk about how hectic they’re day was. Imagine dealing with citizens.

Because you can’t hire civilians and eliminate a bid spot. That pesky contract gets in the way.....
009 Commander wants all available bodies out on cars so he cut people from the desk, lockup, and anywhere else to go back to the street. EXCEPT the front office that has EVERY CUBICLE FILLED with p.os. Told bid officers on desk if two civilians are working one bid p.o can hit the streets. Dont like it? File a grievance and still hit the streets. Talk about a great leader. Have fun with your kiss asses at the "holiday party."
In the 8th Disteict we have foot patrol guys that do not answer calls. They do nothing all day while a handful of beat cars handle calls. Additional special people do the same as foot guys, as mentioned. Foot patrol that is in a car driving around? Lol, how is that foot patrol!? Call it car patrol. I am all about r3active policing but I am tired of reacting for other lazies radio assignments.
Yours truly,
Beat car scrub
To hell with the IG. Cover operation for the most corrupt city Government in the USA. SCUMBAGS!

If a officer is old or requires a inside job, tough luck. Inside jobs are reserved for the wives, girlfriends and families of bosses. How many females work inside because of their relationship or due to child care? In the old days, a old timer or a officer recovering from a illness or IOD would have a spot to recover. Not today. In districts and units, bloated staff work inside to hide from the street.
The Wisconsin Highway Patrol had this problem years ago. The state legislature solved it by passing a law that dictated how many troopers would hold any type of administrative position, leaving the rest to field duty. What is going on the Chicago will never stop until we have a mayor who will take the politics and cronyism and nepotism out of the department. In most corporations it is a firing offense to date someone in your chain of command, it is an ethical offense. Not in this department. Only when the mayor or a new mayor finally decides to do something about this will it stop.

A little touchy about your Cush inside spot , huh Sparky??
I call bullshit on your self serving premise.
Interviewed for position recently, being retired P.O., the pay is crap $25 an hour,you have to work in a district citywide (they choose watch and district), they can keep it, but way to many inside spots, look at 35th street all the brand new police spec take home cars for the girls of bosses! Have a copper friend working at 35st, she leaves the house in her new unmarked explorer at 0700, she is home by 1200, works Monday-friday and also gets all the "extra" special she desires! Fair no,reality yes!
How many officers in callback have been down there for 2years or more. Hey FOP where do you stand on this. lets put out a statement or do SOMETHING. Why aren't these officers getting their cases heard. That includes Sergeants.
The last time they purged the HQ mice one decided to give a homeless arrestee a blow job in a hospital bathroom.
Be careful who you cut loose. Just sayin.

Been like that for years there is another dozen or so hiding in CMO, oh and a few to run for daily food and beverages for the candy store...hahahaha
All of those in house rodents are a vote for the twerp Murder mayor...
As in private business, non-value adding functions are immune from down-sizing. Human resources, legal, marketing/public relations & their close relatives.
What's more annoying is how these useless paper pushers are then deemed most qualified for merit appointments. Recently promoted Sgt. S J of NOBLE Wizard Gene Williams fame sat around all day licking NOBLE envelopes and studying for her nursing degree. All the while taking 2 hr. lunches.

This is absolutely correct!!! I work in 012 Midnights and it is unbelievable how many people work the desk. We have one, sometimes two civilians and three officers. We also have an officer working the radio room. This is midnights where all they do is watch movies all night except the one that does the A&A's.
How about the SDSC rooms? 1 Sgt, 2-3 PO's and civilian analysts. What a waste of manpower. I hear some districts operate with just 1 officer. That room should be operated by computer analysts. Get the Officers back out there.
Good reminder but what's new here? Nothing change. Business as usual.
OT. So what's the latest word on Escamerit? Any heat coming down on him? I say probably not. It's been going on for years. Back in the 80's city clerk Walter Kozubowski lived across from me & every day a tact Sgt from 008 p/u his kids for school in a unmarked car. He made Lt to Lt some how.
As a “house mouse” I resent the fact that I still have to go to uniform inspection once a year. All that money I had to spend on things I wear once a year. It’s not fair.
Dumping able bodied P.O.’s at ARP always made little sense, the Desk and Admin was another.
That bringing back of the retirees idea may not be that far off, but certainly won’t last because those jobs can be given to the representative communities during election seasons.
I get the security and privacy issues that shouldn’t be handled by even the most trusted civilian.
But there are far too many Actives parading around EVERY UNIT in this Department.
Just about every CAPS office has a daytime staff that outnumbers most 1st Watch late cars.
GMack made a point to bring up Mismanagement in his last campaign radio interview.
Now if the House Mouse Uptick (increase in the decrease) has now become out of control, who’s to blame?
The Merit Hack.
How, when and where did these appointed Merit Hacks get away with increasing the House Staff without a word from cash strapped, scant P.O. hiring, re-election campaign season City Hall ?
And that last List of Golt Stars, more tag-a-longs have already been added.
My guess there will be a might quick City Hall response and a House cleansing will be forthcoming.
It will be highly publicized too, why not...it’s an ReElection talking point.
So start plotting the movements, not too many will be dumped from their spots.
Most will find their way onto the skreets lineup but held down on station duties.
Another Merit Mis-Management prerogative maneuver.
Reminds me of that old children’s sonnet, I think it was Frost...
“The three little kittens, they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry...”
No more pie until they find a new set of mittens I guess.
Now the rest of y’all get on out there and bring in more ISR’s, CB’s and ANOVS.

Have to disagree on some points. What you say about the pension is not true. No one suggested firing them, only returning them to street duty where they continue to pay into the pension. HR doesn’t need all the po’s either just doing filing. Currently there are civilians doing jobs that po’s used to do, but the number of po’s continue to grow. When the hiring surge stops, they will all remain, same with academy. As far as working at postal speed, walk into certain districts and you will wish the desk people would work at postal speeds
As far as the comment when you can’t work the street any more there will be no inside jobs. Open your eyes, that’s not who’s getting the inside jobs. Look at the front office, unit secretaries, tact and watch secretaries. They are not the po’s who have worked the street for 15 years. Want more detectives and then see half end up filing reports or we need more ET’s to process crime scenes only to have them go back inside to do filing
You can definitely fill a watch with the number of stripped Officers in call back, who should have been cleared months or years ago. IAD is useless.
It ain't over yet, Special has more friends to promote that have been hiding in units and havent been on the streets in over 15 tears. Hes promoting them past those who actually have Patrol experience or experience in their current unit. All these new bosses are scared of real police work and have no idea what a taser deployment or ANOV citation is. The merit selection is getting worse with way too many incompetent exempts. Special Ed is leaving a legacy of Daley era corruption. I guess his driver will be a commander next.
Keep up the corrupt work Ed. I'm sure all your long time Lts and Capts appreciate you screwing them over.
It’s scary out there. They might have to be subjected to the shit us non clouted or unwilling to sucky & fucky do daily.
They don’t need to worry though, this is all bullshit smoke and mirrors.
Do any SCC writers, editors or readers have some suggestions of Chicago blogs that allow honest discussion of neighborhood crime?

Those who expose BlackLiesmatter or the fake news lying press
And boy do we have fake news, lying press here in Chicago!
Today's Slum Times was worst ever - dragging out the lies of the Kerner Commission that Chicago is supposedly dividing in to 2 groups -
Wealthy, priviledged Whites
Oppressed Black African Americans
and
Oppressed Hispanic Americans.....
(That's at least 3 groups and the privileged Whites of course include dozens of various European oriented ethnic, religious groups who've fought all out World Wars against each other the last century)
That SlumTimes worm Steinberg is particularly vicious and hates all things Trump and Trump voters, he's supposedly the champion of undocumented Latinos, Muslims - go figure.
4:22 is correct. The new civilians hate you and aren’t on your side.
bait house mouse traps with donuts.
So many inside spots, loaded on days "I gots kids and have to be off early keep me on the books." Hundreds inside shuffling paper, the 12% or less clearance rate or mets defective unit, with so many scared to go out, how many bosses hiding on 35th street working a 4 hour day if that? Working out on city time? Having children picked up at school by unmarked units, totally decimated any resemblance to policing? We have the bargain basement wearing gold stars, they wonder why we we laugh and smile when these puppets attempt to speak.
Everyone wants to complain about officers that work inside. If there weren't officers that wanted to do it, the ones who get put inside against their will would be crying like babies (they already do this when someone on the desk or in lockup takes a day off). When civilians are brought in, you all complain that they shouldn't be able to have access to all of our CPD information (Heaven forbid our PERSONNEL information). When you have a problem with ANY of the civilians on our department, the first thing out of your mouths when you're retelling your sob story is "So this fu%$^ng civilian....". Can't have it both ways folks. Do YOUR job, and worry about yourself.
shocking.....

Be careful of what you wish for. Anytime they replace police personnel with civilians it takes 2 to 4 civilians to do the job of the police they replace. And they are either political patronage stooges or members of lets say connected members of choirs. They are not your friends for one thing they are getting paid less so they resent you. And they work at postal speed. Also less money paid into pensions when they eliminate police jobs. And when you can't work the street anymore there will be no inside jobs. Think of it this way would you want a civilian sitting next to you in a squad? Of course the answer is to hire more police. I have worked inside and out. Sometimes those inside jobs require a lot more work like fast districts vs slow districts. And there are lazy and hard workers on both sides.
8/22/2018 04:22:00 AM
They work at postal speed because they are not being properly trained. Most desk sergeants are new and clueless. The desk officers don’t want to train them because they want to feel needed.

In the 8th Disteict we have foot patrol guys that do not answer calls. They do nothing all day while a handful of beat cars handle calls. Additional special people do the same as foot guys, as mentioned. Foot patrol that is in a car driving around? Lol, how is that foot patrol!? Call it car patrol. I am all about r3active policing but I am tired of reacting for other lazies radio assignments.

There are only a few neighborhood taverns in my neighborhood - most are OK, older crowd is nice, plays good music.
But, one of the bars near the University of Chicago has lots and lots of anti police Communist Party propaganda posters and literature in the receiving area. One of the younger bar tenders insisted on blasting extremely hateful, violent rap music - none of the few customers in the bar liked it.
Can anyone here give me some advice what to do?
I'd like to just speak with the owner, explain the situation before I give the bar a bad Yelp review.
The bar is across the street from a solid, traditional Catholic Church and Catholic school - don't think this is the place for open Communist, Antifa anti police music and propaganda.
What about POs as timekeepers makes NO sense ? Under 10 yrs and your a timekeeper NOW ! And u call yourself the POLICE ! Hire someone for half the salary for timekeeping . There are police officers with 20 yrs on and 18 as timekeeper unbelieveable !

Great reason for keeping him in an inside job at headquarters
The worst excuse ever, "I got kids I can't work this shift, I have to have an early - late start." Well burn time ,bid to another watch or district. Your kids shouldn't effect the job or another officers work schedule. This excuse coming from snowflakes with 2 minutes out of the academy as if they are unique to having a life and responsibilities outside of the job begged to be hired to do.
How about the SDSC rooms? 1 Sgt, 2-3 PO's and civilian analysts. What a waste of manpower. I hear some districts operate with just 1 officer. That room should be operated by computer analysts. Get the Officers back out there.

Don't forget forensics having 3 people assigned to the morgue. This has always been done by one person. Now there are 2 ET's and one FI permanently assigned there and never work the street.
Oh yeah them. I almost forgot about them. Three forensics and two do nothing detectives. Be sure to get down there Mon-Fri before 1100hrs, other than that you’ll miss them. I like how they email the Chief’s office, patting themselves on the back for work done by field officers.
How about the et who is the commanders personal caretaker pushing him around in a wheel chair!! Give me a break what a laughing stock we are!! She is an et who has never been on a crime scene!! There is also the captain harris's wife who works inside only god knows what she does but who never worked a crime scene making d2pay!!
Will never change. Few years back, Weiss said no more watch secretaries. Not one ever left, bosses ignored his order and kept watch secretaries, carrying them on other assignments , station security, a made up beat,etc years ago the sgts and watch commander made the sheets and did the work. No more
The inside spots are now imbedded in the culture of the CPD. Can’t be stopped or slowed down because the bosses are the ones doing it
They could care less what Rahm says. Real problem is it’s skyrocketing and many of the recruits in the academy will tell you that’s their future job on the CPD, but are willing to wait at least until they get off of probation. The current administration is just letting it get out of control as the increases in HR and Field Services indicate. And that’s only the ones the IG can identify, not the ones on made up street assignments that never leave the stations

Nice try but you are full of shit. There is always someone looking to work the desk. Nobody is forced to take an inside spot. These are spots that require no work for the special people. You must be a cry baby house mousewho feels that they work too hard.
And you want these useless slugs backing you up?
It’s better than nothing
Interviewed for position recently, being retired P.O., the pay is crap $25 an hour,you have to work in a district citywide (they choose watch and district), they can keep it, but way to many inside spots, look at 35th street all the brand new police spec take home cars for the girls of bosses! Have a copper friend working at 35st, she leaves the house in her new unmarked explorer at 0700, she is home by 1200, works Monday-friday and also gets all the "extra" special she desires! Fair no,reality yes!
Mr Retired...get a hobby and enjoy your retirement.Sounds like
you have to much time on your hands.

How about summary and CMO detectives. Full duty detectives hiding in administrative offices. That would be a good job for retired detectives at a reduced rate of pay.
Where are the marches? Where are the calls to make this a federal hate crime? Where are the alderman where is our asshole mayor? Where are the rest of the Democrats calling this out where is the news media front page constantly?

Two officers in 008 stripped
In the 80's one of the papers ran a story about the manpower shortage and number of down beats. Management had to do something. Empty out 11th and State? Clear out specialized units? Of course not. The clouted have to be protected. The brain trust re-beated the districts. From 4 sectors to 3 and cutting the number of beats. Problem solved.
Wait a minute! I’m just doing like everyone on this blog keeps saying, staying fetal. Did my time on the streets, got lucky and plan on retiring soon. Why the Phuck would I want to hit the streets now? Beside come winter I can keep my feet toasty.
The city is a lawless wasteland where criminal behavior is encouraged and supported everyday with sanctuary city nonsense and the general decriminalization of everything. Why anybody would want this job and to be stuck in this shithole city until they’re 55 is truly astonishing. Sit back and relax, folks. Let the city implode upon itself. I just show up to drop paper and sit in the station where I then take my sweet time knocking out a report. I’ve got a little secret for you hard chargers: the people that you think are on your side that pat you on the back everyday while telling you what a good little copper you are... they’re really not on your side and they don’t care about you
The amount of people working inside even on the district level is getting insane. I dont have a a ton of time but why does the commanders assist secretary in 015 get her own parking spot? She has 4 years on!!! Way to motivate the troops boss. Wonder why nobody does shit for you? The district is flooded with Caps, Sdsc officers, 3 people on the desk at any given time. What the fuck is up with station security on each watch?!?! Its just another spot to hide someone. What a joke 015 is becoming!! Come back Betts!
CAP$ is the wave of the future. Didn't you read the consent decree?
Never worked summer mobile but did work in 4 for a couple of years. When the smelt were running, what a great time. Fish, hot from the propane fryers, and some good refreshments as well. Had some good times on the job. Wouldn't be one today for all the money in the world. Then again, I was pretty good at being fetal.
The Chicago police forensic unit to a flat out joke. No leadership what so ever. Eqiutment sucks no man power bosses are useless and we have FI's who refuse to go out on street and process murders. The news media should do a story on this unit!
Dear Alderman Scott Waguespack,
After reading the comments made before mine, no one mentioned that many of those inside jobs are held by sworn personnel who fail to have the knowledge and expertise to do the inside job! Yet they take advantage of every OT opportunity out there, along with sweet details like watching movie sets, (You know who I'm talking about, academy). They are carried by the personnel (swron and civilian) who have been doing the job, in some cases, for years. Having sworn personnel in those positions not only reduces the field manpower available but piles more work on the people who know the job and excel at performing it. Take a long look at R & D. Ridiculous numbers of sworn personnel. A little undercover reporting from those units would prove me right.
Inside police should be paid less then outside police .

OT: so I was in Phase one of summer mobile and the LT’s were pretty good to us, they even treated both watches to an outdoor Taco truck ffeast on our last day . not to sure how the day LT was to work for since I worked 3rd watch but I tell ya these LT’s really tried to make a miserable working situation tolerable .I don’t know where Lt K worked in the past but I am sure glad he was in summer mobile . He rreally took care of his guys. He also took charge on some scenes in the district when no other bosses would make a decision. I worked summer mobile last year and this was 1000 times better. Originally I wasn’t going to post anything but then I hear that the phase 2 guys all were fed donuts and drinks right out of roll call welcoming them to Phase 2. And Lt Kane and Wallace encouraged everyone to eat and welcomed them all! Keep up the great work Lt k and Lt W! Summer mobile sucked but it was refreshing to see some bosses look out for their guys!
Yea bro your totally right! Except the taco truck wasn’t a taco truck. It was two 14 Y/O kids with a grill. At least he stayed true to his promise of getting the tablets for his “troops”.... Because all the PDTs that the cars were stacked with could never hold a signal. And if you ever listened to LT K’s repetitious roll call speech, you should’ve heard at least once how he was a sergeant in yada yada yada for ten years #respectmyauthority
To 8/22/2018 0815 am: No I don't have a cush inside spot. I was a boss, now retired, in many different districts and units. I was just stating what I had seen over the years. You are showing your ignorance by name calling and attacking a point of view just like the radical left lunatics do.
How many coppetts did gene williams have "working" inside?
189 comments, oh this is a hot topic.
Don’t forget the desk officers hiding in Major Accidents, Traffic Section and MassTransit.
OT... Why are WOL’s and supervisors allowing P.O’s with 2 years on the job to work with PPO’s. A P.O. with two years on just got off of probation themselves. How can they keep PPO’s from losing their jobs? What is the PPO learning from a two year officer. Back in the day Watch Commanders were more careful with the sheets. Now they throw anyone anywhere.
In a certain districts they have seasoned desk officers on the desk and then they have civilians. When neither of them want to do reports, they throw PPO’s on the desk as well... to cover.
Everyone in my district who can’t retire or make it to O’hare on a bid is dying to get some kind of spot, anywhere. Even rifle toting morons see that the street is a loser in these times.

The entire desk crew on every district and unit should be retired PO's. They know what they are doing, minimal training, no benefits (part time couple days per week), lower pay than PO which would cover every watch. There should be one sgt on every watch in charge of the desk crew. What a savings and look at the manpower now on the street. Stop wont work cause the connected would have to do police work.

Not only is every cubicle up in “admin” filled but one of Darlin’s predecessors had so many “inside” people that he took over the “”Quiet” room and converted it into more cubicles...... that continues to this day.
So Randal has tons of “inside” “admin” staff tucked away upstairs yet he’s concerned with a bidded desk spot?
GFY Darlin!
Just wait, the consent decree will triple the amount of paper pushers. A very good friend of mine from LAPD who worked under the consent decree in Los Angeles has related to me that they took hundreds of officers off the street there to do filing of the massive amounts of paperwork that is required to be completed.

I'd guarentee it's about 40 percent of the department works inside. Media look into this!
Inside police are not police. Especially when you have less than 10 years on working inside kn a regular basis. You are a secretary, you do data entry. Not a police officer.
Any spot inside should be seniority based. FOP come on!!!
Station security in 015 on all watches stays inside and works the desk (YouTube, Netflix, ect) allday.
Worked my whole career in southside districts but bid the desk my last two years. Primarily because of my wife not wanting me killed on the street when so close to retirement.
Absolutely, there is sooo much deadwood on this job hiding out, but I often wished, when on the desk, I could wave and keep on driving. I will add that, working the desk in a busy SS District, is no piece of cake.
How about the social media officers lol
014 DISTRICT. 5 PO's in the front office (4 female,1 male); 6 or 7 PO's in the CAPS office ( 1 female who keeps getting pregnant and off numerous months during the baby birth ) ; 4 useless foot men on any given day; while the rest answer the radio !!!!!

If you go an entire career without finding some kind of spot for at least some period of time, there is something wrong with you.
CPD talent search is like a contest to find the tallest midget.
It ain’t that hard to find a niche.
With zero clout and minimal effort, I managed 18 years off the street during a 32 year career.
I made myself useful and bullshitted well when needed.
The street, especially at the District law enforcement level blows.
Risk management for your family’s future dictates that you figure out a way out of that fuckin’ beat car.
Grow up.

It does affect you on the street. There would be more cars on the street to take calls, more to assist you if you need help and make it easier to get time off. That’s how
There should be annual bidding for desk spots. As it stands somebody can get a lucky bid with few years on the job and never work outside for the rest of their career. Annual bids allow for people nearing the end of their career to grab a couple years inside before they retire.

Your bitterness is showing. You burned every opportunity in 189 because you are so much smarter than everyone else, then blame it on the admin sergeant having it in for you. YOUR loud nasty mouth got you what you deserve. Please ride your lawsuits away from the rest of us who see right through your bs.
911 center has well qualified security officers protecting the lifeline of police , fire and citizens liives .
Same could be done at headquarters ,Homan Square , City Hall .
CAPS OFFICE SHOULD BE ALL CIVILIANS .
27+ years on the job, NEVER asked for a watch, NEVER asked for a car, NEVER asked for a foot post, NEVER asked to work the desk, did it all by BID and SENIORITY. Fuck all you ass kissers and ass kissing house mouse's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The entire desk crew on every district and unit should be retired PO's. They know what they are doing, minimal training, no benefits (part time couple days per week), lower pay than PO which would cover every watch. There should be one sgt on every watch in charge of the desk crew. What a savings and look at the manpower now on the street. Stop wont work cause the connected would have to do police work.
Why would any retired police officer in his right mind want to retire and
then come back to a District and finish his life working the police district desk.
Why not just stay on the job until you get put in a nursing home and then die.
How about enjoying you retirement you earned

If you go an entire career without finding some kind of spot for at least some period of time, there is something wrong with you.
CPD talent search is like a contest to find the tallest midget.
It ain’t that hard to find a niche.
With zero clout and minimal effort, I managed 18 years off the street during a 32 year career.
I made myself useful and bullshitted well when needed.
The street, especially at the District law enforcement level blows.
Risk management for your family’s future dictates that you figure out a way out of that fuckin’ beat car.
Grow up.

Getting harder to do. Those insides jobs are going to po’s with 2-3 yrs on and they stay in them for the next 25-30 yrs. so far the CPD has been adding chairs to the room to accommodate them and adding new spots like Shotstopper, district intelligence officer, etc but they are running out of room to put them.

OCD created a whole new unit for them. Not really an inside job but avoid the risk of the street.

So nothing changed. All the house mice and inside jobs are still there. Just added more.
So much waste in CPD. Where's the Inspector General on this issue ?????
Love this article. So much waste in CPD. Are you listening Eddie or Inspector General ????????
Another waste,having 50 aldermen and 50 wards. Why not just have 10 aldermen and 10 wards in the city. No need for 50 aldermen. Lets put that in the election ballot!!!!!
