No Weekend Garages
Don't get a flat tire on the weekends anymore:
- In the latest of a series of dumb moves that compromise the safety of cops and citizens, the Department is closing all maintenance garages on weekends. So if you get a flat tire or crack a windshield, the vehicle will remain un-serviceable and unrepaired for the entire weekend. In fact, if you wreck a car, you won't even be able to get a pool car, leaving the District down a vehicle.

You forgot to mention no gas at Belmont and western over the weekends... because that makes sense.
If you wreck a car you aren't getting a pool car anyway.
The court house at 51/Wentworth is closing January 4, 2019. All cases will be sent to 111th St. County rep said the jail is empty so they can’t justify running the courthouses. Belmont/Western also to be closed with cases to be heard at Skokie. The desk crew will be given cta vouchers for victims and offenders who didn’t get the memo. Signs are bring printed up now by the county.
Things were so much better when the garages
were run by The Police.
You could actually get your squad fixed
or if you were in good with the mechanics,
you could keep your squad in good running
condition.
It ain't your car but try to take good care of it.
P.S.
Deeply desired to kick a pocket in the ass of
the m/fer who would chop all the fucking rubber
off the steering wheels, cut up the dash, leave
left over fish and cole slaw under the seats/in the
glove box, leave their leaking terbacky juice cups, etc...
Those are the same people who don't
bother moving the dishes out of the
way at home when they take a piss...
Foul is foul no matter where it is.
Union clout
SCC what's wrong with you??? How's the city supposed to man these services??? City is beyond broke, can't pay the pensions!!! So 9 1/2 has money for pork projects, parks and non-library libraries but, do you think the city will waste $$$ trying to keep the "HUGELY UNDERSTAFFED" finely tuned machine that Ed & 9 1/2 have created up & running??? Besides with a car broke here, car broke there, everywhere...oh you get it...so maybe 1 or 2 or 3 car jackings may not happen....it's not like there's a crime wave going on!!! Hey you got swat now, what the hell else do you want for the "MILLIONS" the city, county and state pisses away each & every day on interest alone... Don't worry, when this new bunch gets done there won't be enough meat on the bones, hell there might not be bones left!!! FUNNY & SAD WHAT LOYAL DEMOCRAT"S GET!!! THIS SHOULD BE A MESSAGE TO YOU, EACH & EVERYONE, YOU VOTED FOR DEMOC"RATS" AND NOW YOU GET WHAT YOU WANTED.....FUCKED ROYALLY!!!
They have been closed every night of the week after 2100 for the past 2 or 3 months. No spare tires and no wipers, (the R-man doesnt always have spares), so days has to run and get the tires now. That sucks for days, and for anyone who has to ride around all night without a spare, and who may get stranded if the spare is or gets flat as well.
Who cares? I will gladly take public transportation to my next domestic
Don't believe it for a moment. There will always be a service writer available for a tire exchange or a pool car. However, if somehow that actually did get implemented, it would be overturned in one week if cars were not accepted by weekend watches for safety reasons [c'mon, that would be an easy no brainer] and, well,... flats are pretty easy to arrange.
Somewhere, the ghost of a cop from 1950 is rolling his eyes, because he had to change his own tire back in the day. Maybe they don't have spares in the trunk anymore? Fix-a-flat? Anyway, if you're willing to get her towed out to Melrose Park, I'd be happy to change the tire for you.
vanecko motor club is having organizational meetings to resolve this.
grand avenue and the chinatown crew are expected to attend as well.
I've got a better idea and money saver. Change the Police work schedule back to an 8 hour day and make it Monday - Friday. Shutdown all police work and shutdown all Police Stations on the Weekend. The Public will have to defend themselves over the Weekend. While your at it go ahead and add in the Holidays. Remember Rahms sanctuary city represents his Chicago Values and I'm sure they will follow all Federal, State and City Laws.
Care meter is really at zero. Entertaining post tho, thanks SCC.
Get used to it. Illegal aliens need the city money.
Also heard that the city doesn’t have a new vehicle contract. We’ve been told to keep up with maintance on our squads because there will be no new ones til 2020.
Failed Model Approach

Don’t have much time on but they aren’t the same cars. Most of the crown vics (best car in my opinion) have been replaced with the tahoes, then the tahoes with the fords. If I got a flat and was able to make it I would drive to the area and change it myself. On multiple occasions I had to change a flat on the crown Vic in the field. Easy fix. When we first got the Tahoe’s I Changed a flat (in the field) once and it was a giant pain in the ass. Especially in shitty weather. Never changed a tire on the new fords.
Besides that I never went to the area and had the tire changed. We always changed it ourselves. So just keep the garage open. Coppers change their own tires anyway.
When Commander Harley Schenker was in charge of motor maintenance shit ran smooth as a baby bottom.
Carry a portable red flashy light in the trunk incase you have to take an Uber to your next call.
Old long retired guy here.
We used to have to change our own tires, and if you had a flat, you went to the station where they had a rack and you exchanged your flat tire for a inflated nearly bald tire. Some one in the Daley administration was making a ton of money on tires we never saw.
We had a scrap yard in our district, so if you wanted better tires, you bummed them off the scrap yard.
Start downing cars boys and girls, don’t forget those safety grievances. All by the book...their book.
Thats nice to know. I wonder how many people will be putting cars down on purpose knowing that there aren’t any replacements.
Thats just how stupid this city is. Why aren’t there just people whos job is to work weekends.
Staggered days off so that there are a handful of people working at all times
but plenty of $$$ for d-sucker diversity and multi-cultural bulls**t jobs-programs for useless aa a**holes
Gee just think about it for a moment, start putting vehicles down for the weekend and lets see what this fucked up department does, come-on, its a game and we can play too.
Heard on the tv that the midget ballerina will be offering millions of dollars to the Target company as a bribe to keep stores that are losing money open so the people can keep robbing the stores blind.
The printing press is running overtime with the midget's projects but NO money for pensions!

Stranded. Other vehicles can't come by with a spare?
you more or less get paid by the hour. what difference does it make if you have no car and are forced to wait in the station for 3 hours. find a nice spot to take a nap and wait for the boss to decide what to do.
Looks like I’ll be going to Raybons
Save $$ privatize routine maintenance of vehicles
End three man garbage crews , light bulb changers and five man forestry crews , middle management could be cut in half , water pumping stations privatized .
Where am I going to get winter air for the tires, turn signal bulbs rotated and weather strips refreshed with silicone?
Time to privatize that Motor Maintenance Division.
Get the same service at -
Vanecko’s Fast Greeze n’ Loob.
50 Ward locations - One near you!
Franchises available.
One step closer to Detroit....
City needs the money for the next wave of illegal aliens.
Chicago. Democrat-ran since 1930.
Any questions?
Not a po but ive seen you guys putting fuel in cpd vehicles before. I always wondered if the city reimburses you immediately..or if you have to wait until your next payday.
They repair aquads at Farm & Fleet in Sycamore , 65-70 miles from Chicago. How does that make sense?
If sucks changing a flat tire, especially in the winter. Why can't we have a service that comes out to the scene and changes the tire ?????????????
Does the carwash at Roosevelt and Sacramento still wash police vehicles after mid nite?
So if the garages are closed on the weekends, Does that mean no "R" service either? If R service is available on weekends why doesnt he carry a key to at least keep the fuel pumps open until 10pm? This City is so fucked up! What happens if your car just dies at an intersection or in traffic? If I have to push it somewhere you better believe ill be on IOD with a pulled muscle and bad back. I Love TAX FREE MONEY!
I hear they may have spare tires at the gas pumps
Put the car down no spare tire sit in the station all nite long safety issues
All CPD officers will now be so Ordered to Carry a Tool kit for such use. Said tool kit will include pliers, adjustable wrench, screw drivers, and a socket set, and a tire patch kit.
You heard it here first...

Shhh, I want to see how far they'll go with this scary, stranded on the mean streets hypothetical. Lions and tigers and bears!

- Good gosh! Perish the thought....winter and midnights.
But someone in Old 012 someone did just that.
Had the AAA come out (any vehicle any time rule).
The tow driver even got a tip.
Can’t remember if it was a flat or dead battery.
When your in a hurry, road service is quicker than R-Service.
Back in the day a smart copper made friends with the R-Man and the Garage.
Yes, they’d change a tire - mostly because there was never a jack in the trunk.
Cheers to the R-Man of yesteryear.
Why don't squad cars have run-flat tires?
Document any injury while performing such maintenance on your vehicle, disability jackpot!

MV have you no shame!?
All officers are automatically being signed up for V&D Motorclub. The fee will be deducted from your uniform check.
Is a Chicago cop on your gift list? Get him/her a AAA Motor Club membership!
The Sgt that runs fleet has no clue, way to stand up for us.

Don’t think so. Has to be an action a civilian doesn’t do or a police action. Changing a tire doesn’t qualify

Two reasons. Cost too much and still has to be changed within 50 miles
Does that include Rahm's guys??
Disband r men hire AAA
It’s a lot cheaper
