Water Rescue
Quick thinking:
- Chicago police reported that they rescued a man from Lake Michigan after he became trapped while trying to save his dog from the partially frozen water on Sunday.
Officers from Lincoln Police District stepped onto the ice to help the man around 1 p.m., police said.
The man said in a statement released by police that his recently adopted 9-month-old American Eskimo mix "was very excited and got away from me, ran down" to Foster beach.

Glad the dog and the officers are ok.
Great job !
hats off to the boys in blue.......
no treat for fido, bad boy :)
so glad everyone is safe. nice job officers!!!
They deserve the Frosted Jewels Life-Saving Award!
Hey nice job. You should be proud.
now now...if and only if the dept release video of how police take verbal abuse and insult on daily basis, that'd be great!!
Great Job,It made the Channel 7 National News,I work in a District with the Lake and River,I carry a 50 foot rope and a life preserver in my car, Be Prepared.
OT:
Even though Officer Weather will be pulling a double shift in the next few days there are still people (and folks) to shoot, senior citizens to mug, corners to defend, insults to avenge, cars to jack, coats to steal, snitches to silence and a host of other reasons that the local jagoff will use to justify leaving the crib.
So.... in spite of a forecast of record cold temperatures in the next 24-72 hours I predict there will be at least one J/O who will brave the elements to venture outside in order to shoot someone.
Chicago's New Motto:"
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays our shootaz from the swift completion of firing off a couple of rounds."
F*cking news idiots, good old Lincoln Park district. They can nail the district name every time when the police are “in the wrong” but when they do something good (which is 99% of the time) they always screw something up (on purpose) way to go assholes.
Good job CPD!
To Sgt Al and all the officers on scene. You all traversed 100 ft of ice to rescue another with complete disregard for your own well being Well done brave officers ; credit to 020 and the department.
Nice work offices!
Was he ticketed for having that fuckin dog unleashed?
Stay warm out there everyone. These next couple days will be no joke and dangerous if exposed too long.

Does anyone know why Cook County is scamming all county employees that are participating in the deferred compensation program? Contributions are not sent to deferred compensation accounts for up to a month at a time? All deferred compensation contributions should hit the county employees account the same day or after the employee gets paid. Cook County is scamming all of its employees. Hmmm... I wonder what the county is doing with all of these funds???
Negligence on the city for failure to either block off areas close to the lake. Or to use salt on affected areas.
Congrats guys and gals, job well done!
Another idiot dog owner. Send him a bill for the services.
Great job officers. Can we please stop with the animal rescues on frozen water? I know this guy went after the dog and needed to be rescued. I cringe every time I see an officer or fireman’s life endangered to rescue an animal from frozen waters. It is foolish to put first responders in that kind of danger and is a waste of money and resources.
Subject should have better control of his dog and not endanger his or his dogs life along with endangering the police.
Dogs Rule.
Ever hear of a police cat?
These guys are great, as are others who brave cold AMD freezing water, to save someone.
Good job officers to the close eyed detective in area south who was on scene!
Bad doggie.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Snow doubt about it, ice job guys!
And I bet the Police didn’t stop and evaluate is this a White, black, Latino, Asian,, etc before jumping into action. Take that BLM. What you’re teaching is a lie. Cops save lives.
Job well done.
I have said it before and I say it again
Where do we get such people,that they will risk their own safety for a perfect stranger?
These are the same people who are lambasted by the media and certain segments of society
Proud to be retired from the ranks of such men and women
Most people (and folks) think that Lifesavers come in orange, red, green and purple.
These Lifesavers were True Blue.
Nice job again by, "Chicago's Finest!"
Was the owner given ticket for no dog on leash the city needs the money. The officers need the activity credit. Seriously god job better saving a dog then a community member at least one is a productive member of society.
and can't vote.
Great job guys. Does this mean they get “2” lifesavers? Great job..proud
Great job guys
Last week was the river. This week the lake. People need to stop eating stupid sandwiches and stay away from the water in these conditions. Hats off to the officers!

What’s wrong with you. Salt the area. It’s a lakefront, how can you salt it and salt doesn’t work with water washing up on it. Salt trucks driving down a slippery iced area. Yea great idea. City negligence. How about a guy not walking in that area
no merit promotion for you great police officers only merit promotions for eddie b urks political hacks
Despite the stupidity of the man having his puppy off leash....hats off to the officers for doing such a good job. -- Which they do every day!
God Bless the first responders. Thank you for your service.
Despite the stupidity of the man for having his puppy off leash, hats off to the officers for doing a great job. - Which they do every day!
Great job guys. It was nice to see Commander “elf on the shelf” back in uniform.
Great job Sgt. and officers you definately saved that man ! Every district that borders the lake or river should have a ring buoy or throwable line bag in a supervisors car if not every car. It isn't expensive and can really help save someone in the water. This would also prevent officers from falling in themselves and also becoming a victim . Of all the stupid insignificant things they send us to training for , this would be a plus like LEMART and using an AED. Most beat cars will be on the scene well before the CFD divers.
Great job Chef Carter , you lower the mandatory staff for the marine unit to maintain a 4 man crew at the coldest time of the year when jobs like these are common. A 4 man crew are in the SOP's and you and your supervisors are violating them with no regard for the public or officers well being and safety ! As Fred Sanford would say , " YOU BIG DUMMY " !
>>>>> 'Officers from Lincoln District stepped onto the ice to help the man..' <<<<<
Good Job Officers. You're a credit to whatever District you're really from.
But what about the Dog, is it okay too? The Trib's ace reporter didn't mention that.
If you can't control your dog , you SHOULD NOT have a dog
If your that STUPID, you shouldnt have a dog. Get a freaken cat or goldfish

Just thinking about it would make a dead man smile.
Makes no difference where in the city, everybody is walking their dog unleashed. The owner will carry a leash but for some reason never hook it to the dog. Probably just laziness! Always the same response, my dog listens. As the dog runs after a squirrel or rabbit. I have written many anovs for said violation. Curb your dog!
Off subject ... 'Empire' star Jussie Smollett hospitalized after he was targeted in possible hate attack in Chicago." Read the story. Very suspicious! Me thinks will turn out to be a fake story.
lucky cops that they did not fall in.
Great job, great story and coverage.
There was an incident where a teen fell through thin ice and 2 Toledo PO’s tried to make a rescue, fell,through this the ice as well.
Kid was saved, PO’s cold and wet saved themselves too.
Bottom line - the Toledo PO’s stated they weren’t trained for water rescue nor equipped.
So beware and prepared of what you’re delving into whether rushing into water, fire or dark buildings.
Was it last week or two 2 knuckleheads jumped into the lake up in Waukegan, one still hasn’t been recovered, then couple days later some nitwit at North Av beach?
This is happening and reported on these days more and more. Goofs doing the polar plunge unsupervised.
What’s missing here is the blatant idiocy of the individual walking on ice without a clue.
Where’s the parents?
Where’s the schools?
They have no problem teaching and promoting biased social justice reforms but nothing about public safety?
Bet these morons won’t be traversing upon ice anymore, but peer pressure will always keep them hating the police.
never heard of an alderman doing something as useful and heroic as this, I guess they are too busy stuffing their pockets.
It is foolish to put first responders in that kind of danger and is a waste of money and resources.

==========
That is a pretty common practice for 457b and 401k plans. The funds first get deposited into an escrow like account where it earns some tiny amount of interest until it gets to the regular investment account.
I don't know why this is done but it is so common that there may well be a good reason for doing so that does not involve trying to cheat you out of a tiny amount of interest.
This needs to be posted so EVERYONE knows it.
Commander in 011 turning away merit packets from the PO’s that work in 011 for him, under him so he can put in his old buddies from his gang team. He had 5 picks and only 2 of them are going to the hard working men and women from 011. This is the sad reality of the merit process folks. This process is supposed to be transparent and go to hard working men and women PO’s who work for you on a daily basis not your buddies from Cush units who have been taken care of their whole careers. Go get em boys/girls.....keep making them look good so they can keep f$&@ing you over. One day the FOP and Department will agree on this BS merit process and those who truly deserve it will get it.

OT just read CWB about the genus burglers that break into bike shops and steal bikes to ride home. What no drivers lisence for a car jacking. Guess they don’t mind the cold and snow.
Winnetka police rolled up to Edward Burke, Jr.’s home on Friday, June 29, 2018 last year for a domestic battery call. Burke’s wife told dispatchers he was “extremely intoxicated, naked, acting violently and destroying furniture.” Dispatchers were told he had two loaded firearms on the first floor.
The police report says Burke’s wife injured her arm falling after he pushed her and said she feared for her safety.
Under the terms of his bond, Burke was ordered to turn over the two pistols and his FOID card and ordered not to have contact with the victim.
Then Winnetka Police made the decision to file a report stating that Burke posed a “clear and present danger” and asked for the state to revoke his FOID card. A detective signed off on the form, but before that form was processed by state police, the case was dismissed and Burke’s 9 mm pistols were returned.
will some one please direct eddie burke jr to the foster ave beach
I think we can be pretty sure this dude will not be unleashing his dog near icy water again. And, due to the heavy news coverage, there are probably a few thousand others who will think twice.
Nice job, officers. Stay frosty!
Brave Officers! G8 Job!
Off topic, don’t ever touch Tony’s picture!
People don’t realize how dangerous the City Lakeshore is this time of year.
I’m not piling on people. A couple of years ago I almost found myself in the water on a day like this.
It was 6am and I was walking along the lake from North Ave Beach, south.
I was well away from the water on the bike path. But, when I got to the bend at E. Lake Shore Dr., there was a narrow foot-wide worn path around the bend and about 25 yards of 3-5% concrete grade on my left covered in ice.
I should have just stopped at the Mich Ave / Oak St walkway under LSD, but I was kind of in to my morning walk, and figured I could navigate the path around that E. LSD lakefront bend.
When I’m at the very corner of the bend in the mid-point of it, a surge of water laps all the way up to the concrete wall of the bend. It totally covers the narrow pathway I’d been walking on in front of me and behind me. It also comes up to my ankle, icing up my shoes and immediately freezes the narrow worn path all around me.
Being at the outermost part of that curve it’s equidistant to safety. So, I assess there’s no sense in turning around, especially given I might slip and fall in doing so.
Just as I’m thinking that, I move carefully forward realizing it’s just a matter of time before another surge of water comes against the wall.
What happens?
I slip and fall.
Now I’m in the shit.
There’s no way I can get up. I’ll just slip and run the risk of skidding down that grade over more ice, and ultimately in to the lake the more I fight to get back up to the narrow path adjacent east of LSD.
On all fours I crawl very very slowly to get about 50 or so yards to where I can grab a steel handle to pull myself up.
It’s very tiring and I’m making very slow progress and growing terrified of the next water surge that will come and freeze my pants at the knees and making for zero friction, potentially causing me to slip away from where I am down the grade and in to the lake.
It’s 6am and nobody but me is out there, and that surge is coming eventually.
That’s when I hear a voice in my head say, “Oh shit, you’re in some trouble. But don’t lose you’re shit. Just stay calm.”
And just at that moment, coming up behind me is a guy in one of those small John Deere golf cart-like vehicles with a plow on it. He’s not plowing he’s just out there.
He sees me, and makes his way toward me. I raise my hand to have him stop, because I’m afraid the weight of that cart and given how slick it is will send him right in to the lake.
But he either just thinks I’m waiving to him or he just keeps coming.
He pulls up beside me opens the right side door and I pull myself in the vehicle.
I’m in shock I’m in the vehicle, but worried about sliding in to the lake in the vehicle. I thank him and we continues on. I get out about 50 yards up the way.
I didn’t find myself in the water like this man did, but I’m pretty sure eventually I would have and it would have been the end.
That guy saved my life. I tried to find out who the man was the next day, but nobody at the Park District no. I called could help.
If anyone knows a contact for the park district office that works that location, I’d appreciate that number.
I want to thank that guy. I’m pretty sure he saved my life.
We both were given a miracle, especially that guy and his dog.
That idiot commander, when a sgt in 002, was known as Dr. Tazer for indiscriminate use of the tazer. Look at him now.
If you can't control your dog, get a cat or goldfish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes and Hell yes.
OFF TOPIC: To the 9th district officers who on Saturday night saw my 74 years old father fall down by Archer/Loomis/Elias Ct. You stopped and checked on him vs driving away with the blindfolds on. It turned out my father had fallen on ice and fell face first and broke his nose. The impact rendered him unconscious and he was out for 45 minutes. Had 009 not intervened he surely would have frozen to death.
I only wish I knew who it was to thank them. If anyone knows who the 9th guys were can you please post.
P.O. Mike Spaargaren (ret)
Commander in 011 turning away merit packets from the PO’s that work in 011 for him, under him so he can put in his old buddies from his gang team. He had 5 picks and only 2 of them are going to the hard working men and women from 011. This is the sad reality of the merit process folks.

Dude relax the guy just made commander yesterday. I'm sure he has buddies that he worked with and worked for him that he wants to look out for that are good police...if one of my buddies make it big they sure as hell better put me in over some 5 year wonder. Look everybody thinks there good police and they think they deserve the nod...I'm sure he will take care of people in 011 eventually...hell at least he didn't promote some broad he screwing I have no respect for that. Look in reality it's not that hard to make dick and sgt u just have to study which most of us refuse to do because were busy and we deserve it because were good police. ..nobody owes us anything and I made it legit for dick and sgt with a CPS education and I'm not talking whitney or lane. Hey one day one of your buddies will be the guy hopefully and if you did things right your career he will look out like he is supposed to.
Ok so the guy that was supposedly a victim of a hate crime has some intriguing parts to his story
1. Who goes walking around at 0300 hours in 5 degree weather with only a sweater; No jacket? Uh huh
2. You didn’t want to report the hate crime but your buddy convinced you to do so. Ok. Go on
3. You leave to noose around you neck to show the police and refuse to take it off until they see it on your neck. Go on very intriguing story.
4. You say the guys said “this is MAGA country” while beating you to TMZ, yet forget to tell the police that very important fact. Hmmmm
5. You’re a “big star” who could order anything via grub hub yet go to a gross Subway for a sammich. Ok check
6. You can’t describe the offenders at all yet you fought with them, were taunted by them, and had a noose put around your neck by them. Sounds legit to me.
That was a fabulous story. Maybe we can incorporate that to an episode. That would be awesome

Years ago the Department put the bouys and lines in all the beat cars that ajoined the lake, they disappeared in a matter of days. Guess some people thought they might look better in their personal boats than sitting in the trunk of squad car available to save a person's life. The Department never replaced them. Sad commentary about of some of the people who work on the job
Nice job Al and company.
I ANOV’ed the guy for dog off leash. What can I say. I needed to get my VRI quota.
Well done officers, great to see FTO shirts involved in this. Remember the FTO position is the most important position on any police department. If you have shit FTO's training the new officers your department will grow up to be shit.

Yep, this is going to turn out like many of the stories of crazy attacks on individuals. It's going to be found to be made up to bolster his career and an embarrassment for the LGBQT community. The "star" will then throw out a PTSD claim and all will be forgiven.
Idiots fishing on the lakefront and their
little yappy-mutt leashed to a folding chair
jumped in to get at some ducks paddling by.
Took his ass straight to the bottom...
Multiple calls to 911 with bad locations
because they didn't know where they were.
The minor child was a basket case of course.
A district unit was dispatched to "do something"
until the Marine Unit got there.
District unit shows up and the screaming started
about "Aren't YOU supposed to go get OUR dog?
We were still seeing bubbles but YOU took too long!"
Y'all can ponder that for a bit...
They were on the cell with other family members.
"Yeah the cops are here but they ain't doin' shit..."
Nice if a recovery was actually made.
Shove Fido's wet and dead ass right through
their mail slot, heat sealed in a property bag.
The shit Policemen have to put up with.
Agreed, because we all secretly know of a band of non-descriptive racists roaming downtown with acid and lynching rope, preying on B grade actors and actresses...
1/29/2019 07:17:00 PM
The NAACP has already announced President Trump is responsible for this racial incident. Will the NAACP apologize when the incident turns out to be a hoax?
That “Empire” actor’s story is as legit as Rahm’s son’s college counselor tale.
I see the "Elf" Commander led the press conference, but he had on his "clown" suit instead.
The spare tire can also b used in a water rescue, will float.

Really? My wife asked why I don’t exercise my dog more with daily long walks on the lakefront
Those officers are bad-ass. I take my hat off to them. The Grim Reaper was walking the lakefront that day, and those officers sent him packing empty-handed.
Great job, officers. Makes me proud to count myself among the ranks of the CPD.
While politicians, prosecutors and judges scheme and lie and steal and plot how to despoil or persecute officers, and criticize officers' every last fart from the safety of time and distance after the fact, the men and women of the CPD are still out there making a difference, while the schemers definitely do not have the courage or strength to be out in the cold saving lives.
FYI: Checkered dog collars can be purchased at the FOP store.
Now THIS is what police are actually there to do...assist the Citizenry(as opposed to turn them over and shake out our pockets to fill politicians coffers).
AWESOME DISPLAY OF HONOR right here.
Body cam video revealed interesting comments. One officer (behind the guy in front?) yelling to the victim to grab the loop of the leash and pull himself up. Another guy (guy in front?) tells him to stick his arm through the loop and grab his arm with the other hand.
One guy doesn't understand hypothermia. The other does. By this time the victim is losing control of his extremities. Possibly even his thought processes. He could be having trouble understanding.
Just something to remember about hypothermia.
If you can't control your dog,you should not have a dog

Hey YOU BIG DUMMY,
Don’t you realize that it doesn’t matter how many officers are in the marine unit if they’re downtown and something happens up north or south. If they can’t get there in time they’ll just be doing a recovery. At these temps they’d never make it in time. If they were serious they’d decentralize, but that would make sense.
1/29/19 7:17pm; there should be a seat for you in the next D class. His whole story is a stinker.

Not so fast! For the last 2 years I have seen innumerable roving bands of wild-eyed, hairy, mouth-breathing, drooling, grunting, knuckle-dragging, red-hat wearing and noose-wielding bands of backward, light-skinned, sub-human like beings roaming the downtown area looking for victims of color. They are everywhere!
Note: For the terminally humorless, the previous paragraph is loaded with sarcasm.

It is foolish to put first responders in that kind of danger and is a waste of money and resources.

It is the idiot dog owner who caused it all. He should receive a bill for all the city services rendered.
But, OTOH, could you stand there while the dog went down for the last time, all the time knowing you could save or could have saved the dog?

I would definitely let the dog go down.
Are you saying you would risk your life and your family's well-being for a dog?
Are you saying that a dog is worth the risk to leave a widow with fatherless children?
You're an idiot.
Weed is a plant just like tobacco . Weed grows naturally. The lawmakers and or politician's categorized weed as a drug. Weed is not a drug.
Nice to see a Commander who appreciates and speaks so highly of his men. First Class!!
Stupid pet owners. Why do you bring your dog to the lake in freezing weather? The dog only got away because your dum ass didnt have it on a leash.

Negligence on the city for failure to either block off areas close to the lake. Or to use salt on affected areas.

Salt the whole lakefront?
Negligence to have 10 new marine unit officers in training since June 4th , and not to be involved in daily marine unit operations with veteran officers. This unit is down to minimal manpower with aging officers and it's going to get busier with more idiots on the ice this weekend with warmer temperatures. These 10 people along with a 5 man training crew have been pretty much out of the day to day operations for almost 8 months , because they go to near north training facility Mon thru Fri with weekends and holidays off. With temperatures warming up this weekend there will be more calls of people on the ice and this is a valuable part of training they are sure to miss out on , just like all the boat training they missed the last 8 months. In 8 months they haven't set foot on a boat except for a 2 day ride by a now retired officer . Two days in 8 months !!!! That's like going to the range every day and not shooting your gun ! It's time to move forward and end this nonsense, bring in an outside reputable agency to conduct any future training ! Sgt. E.B. gets a ZERO confidence vote from pretty much everyone but his Lt.
What can they teach in 8 months? Didn’t realize it was that difficult and I’m sure the current marine officers didn’t get 8 months of training
I don’t know what they do for 8 months either but I bet K-9 and mounted unit train new officers quicker and those units seem a little more challenging then playing sailor .
I though they closed Near North because it’s a hazard in that building ?
So Yeah . It all started with a former Sgt B.Fz He had the one instructor and trainees in a DOG but somehow was RDO for all the Packers game. Ran training for the nitwit bomb tech on overtime. Kept a second group ( 2 new guys , then got promoted) so back to 1 new officer in " training" for so long he could have become a surgeon. So EB took a page from BF.
But Sgt EB and his 1 instructor and 2 , second watch management guys, roll into a SS DOG just in time for summer. What happened when all days off city wide were cancelled for Memorial Day Weekend... Didn't see em on a boat . oh my bad I saw them on the A & A's NEVER on a boat. So at 8 months and 4 days there is no military dive training school that the new coppers would not have finished.
Cut em loose. let em learn and let them get there well deserved raise.
