Full Strength Benefits

A couple of e-mailers pointed out the obvious benefits for the Department being at what Rahm counts as "full strength:"
  • The 15% restrictions on Time Due can be lessened since we're fully staffed;
  • the City is about to save millions on overtime, which can all be applied to our underfunded pension;
  • no more Tact Teams detailed out. Since every team is fully staffed, they can stay in the District of assignment and handle tactical things;
  • RAPs (Radio Assignments Pending) are now a thing of the past, so OEMC will save additional millions on overtime....and formerly cranky stressed-out dispatchers will be happier;
  • command staff can bring their dollies back inside
We can hardly wait to see this new Department.

Xmas days off canceled in 011. Captain comes to roll call and says, “thanks”. Now get out of your cars and disperse these crowds. Oh yeah, “make sure you spend time with your family”. Dipshit, didn’t you just cancel fucking Christmas?

Can the FOP or a rep chime in on the 15% thing. I know that the department has to allow up to 15% off now daily unless some issue arises, but is that 15% a ceiling? I thought it’s just the minimum they have to allow. It’s not a restriction, just a minimum. So if all the cars are manned they can go over the 15%, right? Or is it really a max of 15%? Stupid to think that if all the beats are manned and just because they hit an arbitrary % that they can’t allow anyone else off.

Those things have about as much chance of happening as riflemen on the street. Both are just feel good ideas to go along with Santa and the Easter bunny. By the way Merry Christmas to all the Coppers and there families!!!

Exciting times are coming!

Top layer of exempts will be let go to enjoy GOLD BRAID pension.

A thinned down consent decree will be haggled over with about half the thing implemented already.

Another genius will rename homicide detectives calling them some name stolen from TV and then proclaim its a better way.

More training videos dealing with transgender,Autism,homeless,Muslims, sexual harassment,And DE escalating (retreating).

Training classes will be offered for promotions on the department EMAIL saying everyone can come free while the real classes with the answers are given in private at secret locations (NOT HQ DUMB ASSES)

An article will be written about MERITS who have been arrested and indicted after the twins PLEA BARGAIN returning DEAD mommas SS money.

The officer who wrote the Laquan case report will be NOT GUILTY leading to a mayoral election in CHAOS! Prickwrinkle will declare THE Chicago POLICE are out of control and promise to fire everyone. MENDOZA will talk about more training and increasing COPA budget.

NEW years EVE will see time off limited again even when RAHM said we are at full staff.

First Christmas off probation, my partner and I desperately wanted Christmas Eve off to enjoy the holiday with our family. We figured that with our low seniority there would be no chance off getting the day off. I approached the watch secretary but thought I’d better sweeten the deal so as not to be laughed out of the office. It took $40 apiece from my partner and I to the watch secretary, but we were told that the Captain would not take money. He did however accept a 10lb bag of jumbo shrimp courtesy of the Chicago Fish House, my side gig. My partner and I were granted the day off to enjoy Christmas. True story, 30 years ago today!
Merry Christmas
Stay safe

Younger single guys did the same. Also the district I worked in split Christmas and New Years. Everyone got one holiday off and usually one eve off. But that was when almost everyone rotated and the front office and all the @special people” weren’t off the weekends and holidays with no time in the job. Memories is right

We had a commander who would work the holidays as the W/C - desk sergeant, 3rd or 1st watch, so the lieutenant and/or sergeant could be home with the kids. None left like him anymore. Merry Christmas kd. Hope you're enjoying retirement.

Sorry, the memo or agreement about 15 % off is not a minimum...it is by manpower needs...so a watch commander can give less than 15% off if issues arise...now that is very arbritrary and each lt may have a different interpretation of it....so, no 15 percent is a maximum not a minimum...i have read it a hundred times...i am a watch sec on our watch and handle all cu for the lt...and yes most watches use a watch sec...now if a lt was giving less than 15 % off and a grievance was filed he would have to just prove why he have less off ( i.e. low manpower or details that came up or excessive iod's etc.)

Like the previous watch sec. said, we use the 15% as a maximum as well. BUT if lets say 3 people off is @ 13% and 4 people off is @ 17%, our W/C will give us the benefit and let 4 off, giving us the additional 2%, not cut it at 3 people. Probably avoid grievances that way.

15% is the MAXIMUM. No more than 15%. Every car can be staffed, some three deep with recruits if you can find enough cageless cars. Extra officers on the desk, in the lockup, two deep on a one man detail, or extra staff on station security because we dont have enough cars, radios, tasers or equipment to put up additional units, but do not go over the 15% off order. 15% is your max off for the day, period.
