Nice Marathon Planning Ed
Just when you think the Department could get any less competent:
- Working the marathon detail today. About an hour into the race, majority of officers related that their radios were chirping and needed new batteries. Several of the salt trucks used to block intersections broke down and had to be towed out. Some boss screaming about that he is not afraid to spar an officer. What a circus!
And we got e-mails outlining how the Chief of Patrol released some order at midnight Friday violating the Contracts by sending bid officers and sergeants out of District instead of volunteers.
In any event, who is the "boss" who was screaming about how he wasn't afraid to SPAR an officer? No boss should be afraid of issuing discipline if an order or policy has been violated.
FYI: If you feel the need to tell everyone how unafraid you are, you're probably afraid....and most likely incompetent.

How’s about you sit the office down and tell them they make the worst decision in their lives when they joined CPD. Shit move out of state and get a job for Amazon
More will retire. Those that can, will.
No probably if a boss in CPD they are definatelying incompetent. Merit wins again.
It was bad,, dead batteries, no barricades available, missing officers on posts. I worked it 2 years ago and it was nothing like that. Some boss kept yelling over the air about the officers watching the marathon. I get it, it's a big event but some officers paid no attention to the crowd or what's behind them, just focused on the runners. Did we forget about the Boston marathon bombing?
the 005th district got hosed. they had no transportation for us so we had to work in district at a later start time for 10 fucking hours when we were absolutely not needed anywhere! so when all the people detailed to the marathon were released we were stuck doing a full tour on are rdo, what a waste of money.
I don’t think is a violation of the contract as long as they report to and check off at their assigned district.
Probably Nehgode. He’s quick to blow a fuse.
The marathon was a shit show behind the blue curtain. Rosters were jumbled. Bosses rattled. Streets opened up too early. PPO’s left by themselves. Posts unmanned because they weren’t assigned. Oh well, this is the norm now with merit hacks running the show.
Dodged another bullet.
Was it Allison?
So...
The hearse of this ass-clown funeral procession
got high centered on a rail crossing and was subsequently
broadsided by a circus train?
>KA-BLOOOEY!<
"We'll take that paper squad!"
Sheeeee-eeee-yit...
Big shoes, shit, sparks and funny-colored hair flying
every which kind of way and where...
It's Chicago after all so why even pretend
to be surprised about this?
Car 41?
they’ll say tough shit/grieve it”
what do they care? their needed end justified their means
A hour into the marathon ? my radio had one bar when the radio was first turned on some genius decided on using spanking brand new radios just out the box but never charged up .
I always thought it was a ridiculous idea to put a stranglehold on a city so some weekend joggers can join professional marathoners in a "race". No problem with me if you pull the police and let these "athletes" fend for themselves with private security/traffic control. Better yet, put them all in Grant park and let them run around in circles for 26 miles.
FUBAR is the normal operating level of the department. The leadership?LOL doesn't have a clue a lot like the merit detectives.
How about car 41 ordering the bike team over the air to keep an eye on two m/1s because they were being “suspicious”.. What a stroke. Can’t wait until his son becomes an exempt
The marathon has been here for years, why change the plan/order, oh yeah, the new brain trust.
It wasn’t a violation because those bid officers were rdo cancelled, which means they could be utilized anywhere at anytime including beyond two hour start time differential.
It was Eric Carter of course yelling that officers needed to be out of their vehicles. To add to it, some of the cancelled tact teams had roll call at 0430 at hq with everyone else only to learn they shouldn't be there, that they would be working with OCD and should've had a briefing with them. Well OCD never showed and they never saw or heard from them out there.
next year just use 2 cans tethered with string and say "can you hear me now"
More merit brain drain.
Use that word boss sparingly. The bosses all retired
They should hire back Tom F. to handle it.
Not a cop but, I've attended the Chicago Marathon several years in a row as a spectator. On Sunday, for a good 45 minutes, I was on the west side of the street just past the 1-mile left sign. There were two officers, very young that I guess were supposed to keep the crowd back from encroaching on the street. Most of the time, they were watching the runners. A lady cop in a white shirt came by and told everyone to move back from the street and on the curb. These two just stood around and let the crowd move right back into the street. It seemed like they were afraid to ask people to move back. If they're afraid of that crowd, God help them when they have to deal with gang-bangers.
Then there was a guy in a blue t-shirt with a badge around his neck (I guess he was a police officer?) that came by once and asked 2-3 people to move back a bit. After that, he went a block away from the runners by a police truck and was jaw-jackin with his buddy (some random street dude, definitely not an officer), never even looked at the runners or the crowd. I can't say he was completely useless, since he did approach the crowd once.
Pretty sad effort compared to the races in the past few years.
The recruits were taught how to look for bombs friday at academy and went looking for them saturday on parade route. When I first heard this one a cheerio came blasting out of my right nostril. tick, tick, tick, turn, run very fast.
My battery was dead about an hour into the marathon. Open keys most of the morning with conversation about what’s for lunch?
What a bunch of morons running this shit show.
How can you cancel all my RDO's and order we to work 12 hour days then tell me that there is no problem with demonstrators so I can go home after 8 hours ? How about you pay me for the 12 you ordered me to work. Not to mention working 11am to 11pm on Saturday and returning at am Sunday for the marathon. Our radios should be on the "Antique Road Show". Everyone knows they don't work in the subway or in buildings. I bet I can buy one on Amazon that does.
1year to go. Good luck on the sinking ship kids
I will say this again,the mayor and superintendent will be gone soon and DO NOT give a shit,plus the Chief of Patrol said awhile back the he will NOT CARE if he was demoted back to LT if the sup was fired....No one gives a shit....
FYI: If you feel the need to tell everyone how unafraid you are, you're probably afraid....and most likely incompetent.

And most likely a MERIT HACK!!!
I have said it before, Chicago has always been lucky. Lucky that some big civil disturbance never hits, or Terrorism strike never materializes. I cant help but wonder when the "perfect" storm will strike, and city leaders and CPD brass will be shown to be the buffoons that they truly are.
Let's be careful out there...
I just heard from an officer in a south side district that we still have at least one SOLID boss on this job who actually gives a fuck about his officers. The day WOL in 004 made sure that all his officers had food and drink brought to them during the whole JVD situation. Class act!! Way to go Lieutenant!!! Too bad the assholes running the "circus" aren't all like you understanding how much everyone "loves" being forced to work their rdo and then get treated even more like shit!
I was told that once I arrived at my assigned intersection to use the blue wooden barricades to close it. No barricades were available and a sergeant pulled up with a half roll of crime scene tape to use. He said do your best kid. This was my first marathon detail, doesn’t the city plan ahead for these type of major events?
How about Car 41, that idiot Ryan, yelling to check suspicious people out for "shopping if you know what I mean". No boss we don't know what you mean. And furthermore what is a high ranking Chief saying is he not the police? Afraid to take action & do an ISR himself? Come on now.... So said. SPAR him for inattention to duty, failing to take police action,.......
In line with this topic...if you are a PPO that was assigned to the marathon on the bikes and your RDO was cancelled, you are entitled to get paid/earn comp time for the ENTIRE day, not just from 1400-1800hrs! A PPO came back to the district and told us that the sergeant in charge of them told them basically, "Since it's the start of a new week, your day off isn't cancelled this will be one of your regular work days. When you get back to your unit, pick another day you want off this week. Oh yeah, here's your slip for 4 hours." GTFOH!! Please get another slip and redo it so you don't get screwed!!
Or when half the ppos had to be at HQ and the ither half at the academy and they called off the list of people that were told to be at HQ at the academy and vice versa. Whoever made the order literally had a 50% chance of getting it right if they just guessed and they fucked it up. Total incompetence. Was quite the shit show.
Worked one of these and put in a seniority grievance few years back. Got 4 hours. supervisors were willing to gamble four hours to protect a side piece that wanted to stay in district. plus they thought I wouldn't have the brains or balls to see it and grieve it. Four hours isn't a lot to be able to juggle sheets. Bosses screamed and thought I was being petty.
Mr Fenner was too busy pandering to the “community” who was emphatically celebrating VanDyke verdict.
What a cluster fuck the marathon is. The entire downtown business area is essentially inaccessible for much of the day because of it. They need to really rethink the course, moving it to more of the neighborhoods where there are fewer people inconvenienced.
Better yet, run the entire race through the south and west sides. Anyone not getting killed, wounded, or robbed gets a medal.
Who’s complaining...street frightened HQ House Mice Police ?
I’ll tell you, if Special Ed the Clown were a hairstyle he’d be a mullet.
Too bad the Marathon folk won’t demand their money back and punitively sue Special Ed for breach of contract and fraud.
Worst CPD Superintendent ever.
A brain deficiency in the Merit Management structure - even though 95% are sack lunch Jerry Lewis U - Cal Coll graduates.
Wait until Rahm appoints Looney LightLoafer.
You gotta know he’s going to do something very vengeful before he leaves.
The screamer is definitely afraid.
And yet again, a world class event with planning and equipment that would embarrass a third world country.
What’s the deal with meritorious sergeants obsession with officers location? Location!? location!? Location!? My head hurts, give me a double brandy!
Yeah some jackass boss clearly stating over the radio if you dont hop out of the car you will be reprimanded.
Whoever the bitch boss was, he kept crying about people asking for time checks and asking about where the pace car was at. Obviously first time in charge of anything and couldn't keep his shit together. Guaranteed merit all the way. This department is a joke. Go ahead and SPAR me "boss", it may go down as one of the only things you have done in your career of significance and on your own.
They should have kept everyone on the 12 hour schedule until the marathon was over. Instead we got a lot of open and unprotected intersections and a huge clusterfuck.
Someone should have given them the answers like when they took the test.
is nadgode a southsider?
These bosses are so incompetent. EJ and his minions are idiots
Could the Department get less competent? Years ago, my partner and I were assigned to follow the marathon, and keep traffic from running over the stragglers. When we got in the squad (First District, of course)the tank was on empty and the race was already underway. We ran out of gas within about 5 minutes, and the stragglers had to dodge traffic running up their asses w/o our help. Been retired 25 years, nothing has changed except you've got less backup from the Department and more cameras taking your picture.
Little dork of a sergeant (Beat unknown) was the one yelling over the air that he’d “discipline” those that were in their cars. I would have paid more attention but it was like my 10th day of work in a row and was exhausted. However, I did enjoy continually transmitting radio silence over his rant! It was funny! Some militant bozo...pick any one out of the flock of bosses. Totally useless, unprofessional and above all underprepared. Who in the world would want to make rank on this job? I’d be embarrassed to be lumped in with the others. USELESS!
"How about car 41 ordering the bike team over the air to keep an eye on two m/1s because they were being “suspicious”.. What a stroke. Can’t wait until his son becomes an exempt"
His son hasn't even ever responded to a domestic call, daddy has taken care of him since day 1. But let it be known, that he's the real police!

How many bars did it have when you took it from the radio room?
How can Ryan talk when he has Burke’s balls in his mouth!
More like a three ring circus. Every boss there wanted to bark on the radio. I thought that 7200 was having an emergency every time he talked on the citywide. I think that he was hangry? Yes, hangry!
For years the Special Events Section did the operation order, one deputy chief was put in charge, and everything ran smoothly. Que paso?
Lt. William M from Ohare was threatening to spare supervisors.’Didnt Make sense. But with that much wack one need not make sense.
