Boo Hoo
This comment provoked the usual backlash:
- OT ocd gets New Years Eve rdo cancelled. Another year of uco's putting on uniforms and sitting in hidey holes all night. Can't say I blame them.way to look out for your guys, boss. The ones who bring in all the numbers yet you compromise them.
You work in a Unit. You do what you're told. You probably buy two Christmas Party tickets if the boss wants.
If you don't like it, there's always a squad car and body camera waiting for you back in the District. Don't forget to swipe!

Stupid comment. Yes RDOs get cancelled, it’s part of the game. But I’m tired of morons thinking people in units get no contractual protections. That’s bullshit too. They (the city) can’t do what lever they want. Of course they can cancel your days off and change start times, but you still have protections.
Nice Jeans
Typical buy officers point of view. I’ve been in a unit for over a decade and consider myself fortunate, and I don’t even have a city take home... In my 17 years, I’ve probably had 3 or less New Years Eve’s off. It was no surprise when I was told it was canceled again this year.
A bunch of premadonas who lockup 60 year old bust-outs. God forbid they go after the shooters. Their other favorite is to do their buy-bust, let them go and then sweep them up near the holidays. The CPD funds are long gone and the case goes nowhere. Great work bearded operator. You make a real difference in the crime rate.
And then they still work special employment but won’t go the St. Jude to blow their cover. Brilliant
Whatever. When you're a cop, fireman, IT guy, doctor, nurse, veterinarian, or some utility worker - you're working holidays. Weird shit happens then, we get to deal with it. On the flipside we usually get some non-crammed-full-of-lunatics days off to enjoy ourselves...
It's part of the job. Suck it up and move on, or find a different job where you can have those days off....
I initially agreed when I read this on the original post. Looking at it more closely, is the comment maybe meant to point out that it wasn't a good idea to have undercover officers being exposed in uniform to potential gangbangers, druggies, and other low lifes in case it blows their cover for future drug buys and might endanger them?
Just trying to give the poster the benefit of the doubt but I know it sounds like a bit of a stretch. Before I get attacked let me make clear that I always thought the whole 'dope game,' was a waste of time. In this day and age if you don't know that crack cocaine and heroin aren't good for you then we can't help you. Snort and shoot your brains out.
Old time coppers complained when I first got on the job that the 'dope game,' ruined this job. The longer I stay on with the department, the more and more I see what they mean. I understand back before all the cameras that chasing dope boys could be lucrative for court. It did produce some great cops, but a lot of bad ones as well. Gave handjobs from high school an even bigger pedigree in being a douchebag with their whole, "I'm a tough guy. I arrest 70 year old crack heads in the ghetto that can barely move. High five!" Lots of cops spent tours in callback and lost their jobs as their sloppy ways of doing drug arrests got them in trouble once the onset of cameras became more prevalent around 2008, 2009.
Glad that shit got old with me back in 2000 when I humored a copper that I was working with that needed his dope pinch for whatever reason. He must have wanted to make tac (which he eventually did). It's 10 degrees outside and we're searching through five ghetto goons on the corner, all of them wearing about 3 pairs of sweatpants, with about 10 pockets on all the pants. I felt like more of an idiot then these gangbangers. Looking for marijuana and crack on dipshits that could barely read or write.
Anyways, that cop I worked with ended up going to prison years later. If in fact it is that dangerous to have your cover blown by working New Years Eve, then all of you should go back to patrol or at least put in the forms to do so. It might change the Commander's mind if he sees a potential revolt. Why even work for a Commander that doesn't care if you could wind up getting killed, if that is your main concern? Maybe you are just being a bunch of cry baby, pussy bitches.......
You are the idiots for doing any type of police work these days
Undercover buy officer's should not be working in uniform ever. Think to yourself if your job was to buy dope from shitballs, would you want to be standing at Madison and Pulaski in uniform....I think not. As far as enforcement officer's well that comes with the job.
Oh well
Have not seen this unit in any newspapers what cases are the clearing?
out of sight out of mind!
Amen! STFU, suit up and BE THE POLICE that most of us in this dept. are for ONE DAY.
That's a big problem in this country. The privileged class can't seem to remember all the people around them who do the real heavy lifting.

What clause in the contract states a UC will not have to wear their uniform when assigned to OCD, asking for a friend?

Even if UCs are in uniform, if you work in OCD a good supervisor will not let them be exposed unless truly necessary, which it shouldn’t be.
I’ll think of you while drinking my cocktail on New Years Eve . Suck it up !

Except when you sign up for VRI, CHA, CTA or any of the other available uniformed OT initiatives, right? Go fuck your self you fucking crybabies, word leaks out to the rest of us and we have no sympathy for you!
The "buy officers" are the worst. They think they have some talent to cop a rock off some dumbfuck kid on the west side. You could send a monkey or a robot that could buy dope. And then they don't help with the paper, inventories, or anything else. They buy one rock and are like Houdini. While the enforcement people are there hours longer. Get rid of buy bust.....waste of time.
Hey, if they all shave those cool manly beards they won’t be compromised. Just a thought.
Yeah, but......I am special!

True, but realistically they as most officers would not know because most of them do not read the contract. It's analogous to us belittling some one who gave up information on the street. We laugh at them because they did not know their rights and did not have to talk. At the same time officers are getting screwed because they do not know their contractual rights or to afraid to stand up to the bosses with their rights. I implore everyone to read the general orders and contract and if an issue arises politely ask your supervisor if they are ordering you to deviate from protocol or contract and see how fast it changes their mind.
It was a stupid comment and clearly not from someone in narcotics since uc’s are not or EVER uniform. So please don’t start attacking 189 for this comment .
If you don’t want to work NYE then maybe you should take a 13B furlough. My guess is that you don’t have the time to get that spot. My guess is that you have less than 10 years , but probably closer to 5. My guess is that you have a phone call and that’s obviously how you got to your spot. My guess is that you are an entitled millennial who has probably been off every Christmas , 4th of July and any other holiday that means anything. This job is gigantic sacrifice to normalcy. It sucks , but it is what it is. Find a nice hole , grab some snacks and get caught up on Netflix. Happy Holidays.
189 has been working NYE in uniform for a long time this didn't just start. If it's too dangerous or it violates your contract. Leave & go back to patrol!!! Quit crying & bitching nobody cares or wants to hear it!
Years ago if you worked narcotics you could get your check with 1121 S State printed as your address so no rats can get your home address and if you wanted you got a real valid Illinois drivers license complete with undercover name and information so you woundn't have to pull out a star to get out of a ticket. That's OK office, may I have another?
The unit guys are always the biggest heroes, hardest workers, highest number getters ....don’t want them to be recognized by a 67 year old hype who can’t remember if he’s wearing drawers or not lol. Maybe the tac teams that save the city from all the 1 bag carrying criminals could teach the uc guys a thing or 2 about crying for what you think you deserve
Kameesa and Prickwinkie are going to announce that the States Attorney's office is only going to prosecute cases involving a kilo or more of schedule 1 narcotics. Let the Social workers handle the junkies. Cops will only do overdose Narcan cases. Remember "there are too many black and brown men in jail"
Hey, I don't mind hiding in a nice warm Hotel. But never forget YOU are not security for the Hotel. They pay a lot of off duty sheriffs 50 dollars an hour or more. Your job is NOT to go to the 15th fl for a disturbance but to arrest and process any asshole who the Hotel wishes to sign a complaint on period.
Working in OCD is for 10yr and younger officers now. That place completely changed 5 yrs ago and it’s nothing but a downward spiral. The grass is way greener on the other side.
Believe it or not these units are making a difference. Aren’t they??????????
NYE is just another over hyped and gouged price night full of whiny, amateur hour, lightweights anyway. It always was and always will be.
O well!!!!! I got an idea...... go back to the watch. I did and I am much happier. Remember, no matter how hard you work in this department, it will always be what have you done for me lately. I brought in 200 guns this year boss!!! Hey kid, sorry you gotta work. But but but but!!
Keep kissing the ring suckers.............
I’ve worked in both districts and units over the years.
There is a need for both, but neither is superior to the other.
Random thoughts:
Used to be perks to being in OCD, but those are long gone. It’s basically a glorified tact team.
District work is very demanding, and probably a lot more difficult to navigate in today’s climate than a unit.
Not everyone in OCD has a phone call.
Not everyone in OCD buys a Christmas party ticket, believe it or not.
The most fun I’ve had on this job was in a district, and on the watch.
Even though most UC work isn’t like Donnie Brasco, it’s still dangerous and putting UCs in uniform is ridiculous. Shitheads pay attention.
A beard doesn’t make you cool, or a better policeman. Neither do blue jeans.
Working in a unit comes with the understanding that likely 4th of July, the marathon, Bud Billikin, NYE, etc RDOs will all be cancelled.
Accept that, don’t cry about it.
The people who bitch the most about units usually wanted to go but never went. Usually have no activity to justify going, or are the people that no one would want as teammates.
The people who brag about being in a unit, or complain about trivial things and are primadonnas are usually the guys with the phone call, and don’t have the resumé to be where they are. Plenty of “scholarship players” while the unconnected grunts do most of the work.
And no matter WHERE you work, this job is only as good as you make it.
So smile and enjoy it. Treat your co-workers well. Make sure everyone is safe. And go home to enjoy your families.
At the end of the day, this is just a job. No need to put us against each other because of a unit designator. When the chips are down, we are all on the same side.
Happy holidays all, and be safe!
We’re still suppose to swipe???
Hell, I’d welcome having my RDO cancelled for New Years Eve. I’d welcome the money. All my kids and wife will be asleep long before midnight and I can have a few beers on any other day. I wouldn’t waste my time going out even if I were single. Did that many times in my early years. I’d rather make money for my family than sit by myself and watch terrible liberal Trump hating networks shows.
Isn’t this the same unit that put the excessive OT in the spotlight working RDOs all the time? Oh but now you’re upset because it’s New Years Eve? Otherwise it’s ok, right? Grow up. Your not 21. PS... Hope you’re swiping
Very well stated, SCC! A bunch of clouted cry babies who think they are better then everyone else because they have a phone call. As SCC stated, if you don'y like it, come back to the District! The problem with a lot of these guys and gals in Units is that they think they are the backbone of the Department and Patrol is their support unit. Now put your tail back between your legs and bow down to your POS Masters.
To the first commentator, sure, in theory they have contractual protections, but let them file a grievance or start making waves and see what happens. They well be back in a District before they know it. That is what happens when you go to a non bid Unit, you basically give up your contractual rights. But I don't feel sorry for these people. It is because of Officers like this that the city walks all over us. The city knows these Officers won't take a stand against it otherwise they will be dumped. This goes for everyone at HQ as well. My only question is how do you stand without a backbone?
WhaaaA hahaha haaaaaa it's about time these assets kissers get a taste. now they can tell their friends how they watched videos in a smelly gym on New Years Eve and they are the real police.
These guys are lucky. They’re going to make big $$$$ just standing around combing their Grizzly Adams beards chewing tobacco while the guys in the districts will be going from call to call

You must be under the impression that the original poster plans to do police work on New Years Eve. He can come in late, sit in the back of a tinted out department vehicle on his way to lunch on the north side. After lunch he can hide behind the tint as they cruise around the ghettto for a couple hours. Tuck away into a hole at midnight and ride it out for an hour. CRISIS DIVERTED !!!

It's funny that in addition to citizens not knowing what we do, we have coppers who think they know everything that goes on in this department. My favorite is having coppers tell me one minute that they are fetal and not doing a thing and then tell me how to do my work.
And then they still work special employment but won’t go the St. Jude to blow their cover
Just ask Bubble Head's brother
On RDO driving covert car in uniform to work Housing and gets in an accident...
Wear a lightweight balaclava like police around the world do in uniform, problem solved genius.
The ride in to Homan will take longer than the tour, I’m guessing that’s the bellyache.
I’d bet dollars to donuts that many a HouseMouse would scurry too if they were cast into a 4-2 group and holladays were cancelled.
Maybe not, streets n’ beats are not for the faint.
But if that were to be, adminimouse infestation would have to increase to maintain that bloated supply of cubicle shufflers.
Did You Know:
According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2019 is the Year of the Pig.
A chubby face and big ears is a sign of fortune.
It’s also Gov.JB’s birth month.
Where did these "under cover" officers work before OCD? Never wore a uniform before? No chance being recognized from previous activity? Cry me a river. Go work a beat car again and still get your holiday RDO's canceled like they've done the past few summers.
We had OCD come and do a mission in our district and guess how many arrests were made: ONE A friggen beat car could have got that dope arrest.
So what. You can get a new tribal tattoo, or pay down the note on the new Harley with the overtime. Sheesh, primadonnas.
But but i had plans (crying)
Buy officers are the bomb! Just as MM he will tell you how he is the best .goof.

Hey dumbfuck, EVERYONE in these units are there on a phone call. Your resume doesn’t mean shit and if you really believe that you got to a Mickey Mouse unit based on your work history then you are a special kind of stupid. Now get back to your mom’s basement, your meatloaf is getting cold.

You my friend have the right attitude!
Back in the 90's the shitheads would hide dope up their Ass! Very very common. People would buy a rock or tin of heroin knowing it was just up someones ass! The CRAZY thing was I knew cops who would look up a lot of shitheads asses for their dope. I was like gross. If you got your crack up your ass you can keep it. There were so many people selling drugs on the west side it was unusual to find someone who wasn't involved. Roosevelt and Francisco was the worst! I liked the money I used to make from court. Now I like my VRI, CHA, a couple of parks. A lot easier to make money now.
Dear OCD UCOs, you can tell your bullshit to some 2 year on the job kid, but poleeces with some time know the truth of your bs pinches.
Don’t forget to wear your hat.

Hey aaahat, you clearly have never worked in a unit and are clearly disgruntled as to where your career has led you. While it is true, there are beyond too many clout/phone call babies in units, people do and have made it to units based upon their work history only. What you have to understand is every team has to have 2-3 guys who have no juice running it to get things done while the others can scam and do whatever it is they do.

Someone apparently has to since you went on the blog and complained. I didn't tell you how to do your job, I offered a suggestion on how to go about handling the working conditions that you feel are a safety issue. You got any better ideas then go for it. Best of luck!

Except the bike unit at Mccormick. That’s where you go if you have NEGATIVE clout. Zero clout would be Patrol in comparison. Their only option is to force the PPO’s in there.

So, you ARE a special kinda of stupid! Just like everywhere in the department, there are workers and there are lazy fucks. But everyone who works in units, like In OCD, did not get there without a phone call. Being a hard worker doesn’t change that fact. There are plenty of coppers that busted their ass before they got to a unit and still bust their ass when they’re there. Granted, I can see why you’re jealous of the ones who had a stronger phone call than you so they can hide in the shadows. However, that doesn’t change the fact that YOU, just like everyone else, made your phone call to get there. So moron, before you get your next tribal tattoo, stop expecting others to believe that you’re legit. We all know. You used a chinaman to get where you are, you’re not alone. No reason to be an imbecile. Now, gett going. Basement! Meatloaf! Mom’s getting upset!!

Perhaps Ron Kimble can take custody of the mayors son and not arrest him again. Merit sgt, merit lieutenant, merit commander. Probably the most overt racist on the CPD, so he should be a deputy chief soon. Could be worse then Walter Green was and just as stupid.

Kimble might have some flaws but he is definitely not racist. However, he does have an aversion to bs-starting officers who are looking for a quick pay day.
Unless there’s been some big change at 188 someone is tossing bullshit. I was around there from 94- 2003 and you could fit all the buy officers in a small room and most of them were black and Hispanic. White guys, with rare exception couldn’t buy a bag a weed without shitting themselves. One buy officer per team. The rest rode around In confiscated hoopties and unmarked cars making the arrests of some teenager who was making a Hundo a day taking all the risk for the guy holding the dope. Not many beards in those days but plenty of field jackets and combat boots. Gimme a fucking break. Can’t wear uniforms to st Jude, or for details but no problem working cta special or the projects, that’s what we had then. You think some hype from k-town is eyeing you up while you cruise around in your cool grey Ford Explorer? Get real. Quit whining. Go to work.
