Security or Police?

Remember the "disbanded" Aviation Police? They got new rides:


The car has "Security" stickers all over the place.....but the plates say "Police."

Anyone at CDOT or Aviation care to explain?

Was that from O’Hare or Midway? Was someone “throwing shade” at Ginger? “Throwing shade”...that’s what all the kids are saying these days, right?

Lol!

This kind of reminds...

Remember when Shortshanks had a fit of pique
and contrived to give the Revenue'er
boot crews CPD-style badges?

"They're 'Officers' now..."

Funny shit.

Especially when some of them got sassy
with a member of Dude Inc. on the Kildare
block of West Jackson...

>Lower sash hitting the stops
and a pistol emerges from the window<

"All I saw wuz FIRE, office!"

Good Times.

Past be prologue an' shit.

See where this actually goes...

I see a lot of mp plates, including vanity style, which can't possibly be police related. I think it's the new trend. Follow the inflated talking head and/or money trail. Maybe they're given out like car medals for survivin pot holes or merits?

Keep laughimg - it's the only remaining survival method.

The Aviation Police Department was screwed over by that idiot Ginger Evans. She's incompetent. Seems to be a lot of people like that holding office in Chicago.

So what happens if the thugs etc See them driving around outside the perimeter of the airport which they do on patrol and see these plates on the car thinking they are the real police and an incident happens now what? Typical of what the city does jeopardizes everything and everyone to fit their narrative and what it whatever the narrative is no one knows more and more idiocy in charge!

Maybe they are going to make them police again, which taking the status away was moronic anyway, and the thing is Ginger the former overpaid head of aviation got terminated for so many things like this! Just goes to show the gross incompetence of rahms appointees as usual! Hopefully Lightfoot will slash and burn removing many from every department especially CPD which leads in incompetence.

Take that up with the City.

MP plates are what the vehicle had before the whole deal with the Video the other year and the shit that happened with the job title change.

You think the City is going to pay to have the vehicle Re-Plated?

As part of the grieveance that the Aviation Security/Police employees are bringing against the city...the Restoration of the Title Police Officer as well as Side Arm Carry is on the table.

Are you kidding? No one at aviation or CDOT is smart enough to know what the MP on the license plate stands for. Take a survey. Ask a random amount of people from each department. They won't have a clue what MP stands for.

Sure, the cars are owned by the City of Chicago registered to the police. AVIATION pays the city for every cop and cars assigned to the airports.There is no way I would work for aviation police or security without a gun. And if the city thinks these folks are not qualified to carry guns, then why hire these goofs. Especially 75 year old retired coppers.

No it is not the CPD budget the Department of aviation uses their own budget which is massive divided vehicles they use their own budget even to buy the vehicles that say Chicago police on the side so that theory doesn’t work

I wonder what you can’t do with the plates? It just costs more to do it. Look for rate and fine increases in the secretary of state’s office. Not only does Mr. White have to take care of untold generations of his clan, he now has the Berrios clan in his office too! He keeps getting voted back into office. Guess with enough relatives and friends, you could have enough votes...;)

I believe O’Hare/MDW PD budget is separate from Aviation budget.
In fact, Aviation in the past used to buy all the CPD vehicles for 050/051.
They don’t get R-service and are repaired at O’Hare garage.

Some clout heavy deadbeat civilian didn’t want to be troubled or take the time to re-register all those 30-40 AV vehicles to M-municipal plates that are on all the other aviation vehicles.
Maybe the Inspector General can nudge the lazy duffs.
Maybe Andy Shaw and his Better Gubmint Assoc. can file an FOI and sort through that budget while the IG is working on it.

But really, it seems so trivial and more like just another CPD - AVS tizzy.
Can all just get along?
Gotta run.

The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) administers all aspects of Chicago's two major airports: O'Hare and Midway International Airports. In addition to managing world class airports in Chicago, the CDA is one of the regional leaders in business, employment and sustainability. The CDA has made a commitment to the Chicago area community to be a steward to residents, visitors and the environment.

The CDA's central purpose is to:

Ensure safe and efficient travel through O'Hare and Midway International Airports
Successfully implement the O'Hare Modernization Program (OMP)
Enhance economic activity and job creation of O'Hare and Midway International Airports
Manage airport tenant and concessions license agreements; ground transportation facilities; financial administration; research, planning and development activities
Integrate airport-specific, sustainable planning and practices in design, construction, operations, maintenance and daily airport functions

The CDA is self-supporting, using no local or state tax dollars for operations or capital improvements at O'Hare and Midway. Together, Chicago's airports generate more than $45 billion in annual economic activity and create 540,000 jobs for the region.

Now that is true and these vehicles are brand new with brand new plates so they know what they are doing in the aviation dept right? They need to be made police again it is ridiculous they respond to calls on the unsecured side of the airport and if an incident happens what can they do but run away with no protection of any kind? Another of the list of rahms complete failures of any leadership, wonder if he is stepping down because the feds are all over city hall will he be next?

Strong rumor, Both airport police units to be disbanded and only 2 officers will be assigned to a satellite office per watch just to process reports or arrests. MONTERREY SECURITY will split airport security withUnited Securiry who is owned by Rick Simon. GARRY McCarthy will run that with Juan Gaytan from Monterrey. there is no need for a full police unit at either airport.

To the 'know nothing" who believes MP means Municipal Plates. You are wrong. Google it. It means Municipal Police. Clearly, DOA Security are NOT police. They play police when they shouldn't and are a liability. You only have to look at the International mess they made of the United incident. No disrespect to those DOA who understand their role and job function. The plates on their vehicles should NOT be MP, they should be the same as every other security company, just regular passenger plates. Just because the vehicles are owned and operated by the Department of Aviation, does not give them carte blanche to do what they want. They need to follow the rules and laws like everyone else.

This is so stupid. They need to either be police or security; one or the other. And if they're security, they should be paid like security and equipped like security. But if they're going to be police, they need to be police in every way. That means armed, qualified, trained, equipped, paid, the full nine yards. No more of this aviation police/security which really just means police pay for mall cop work.
