014 Manpower
As predicted:
- So 014th District has been having issues with manpower for more than a few years now. Now we have Mayor (minor) Lightfoot living in 014th district, 2 cars are detailed (down) every watch covering the front and back of 3400 block of Wrightwood. Only 4 cars are up on midnights, not safe for anyone.
Any word on when there will be openings for 014? We need to study for some upcoming exams.

016 1st watch: Six 99 cars and only the wagon 10-4. Isn't it against contract?
Captain Brennan just left from 010 to 014, i wonder what he has to say about it.
Nope. You have summer mobile coming your way. Sit down and shut up.
Its been 20 years since Ive worked that way. Is the 3400 blk of Wrightwood any good these days? It was just so so back then.
Sounds like a good time to file a safety grievance with the union and give osha a call.
Square Pants Bob sayz, can you show me the way to
Logan Square. No squirrels shall be harmed during
this mission. Protect that 1880s A-frame at all costs.
Residents must carry 3 forms of I.D. and prove they
have bathed/showered in the past 24 hours. Orange
tipped plastic handguns are strictly banned. Absolutely
no Fuller Brush Men. Ice cream trucks are forbidden.
You guys must not be too busy, especially days when you have a jerk breathing on my radio after everyone’s transmission. So from 012 I say, Ahhhhh.
Nothing will change
When i got Drafted in the early 70's to 014, they called it "Shakespeare Blue's", the place
always jumped, everybody was in a gang and we always worked 1 man cars, everyone helped one another and i would say half the coppers were Veterans from VietNam, the dicks were upstairs
so u had a close relationship with them, it was a great time 2 b the Police alot of great
memories Happy and Sad!

Summer mobile in 014? That's a new one. How does that change the manpower of the 014th district?
From a citizen’s standpoint....what can we do to help? It seems 1412 has always felt to be the bastard stepchild for coverage compared to other parts of the district. I had hoped that with the mayor now living here we would have consistent coverage. Sadly, it seems we will have even less...at least the two stationary cars posted at the mayor’s house will (hopefully) keep the bangers and shootings to a min w/in a block or two of her house.
No manpower? Ok all RDO’s cancelled. And furloughs too. These guys don’t need time any time off. Do more with less damn it.
I’d like to see as many guys as possible with about 5 years lateral to another department. The city would shit themselves. All those training dollars right down the toilet. It’s only going to get worse. If you’re not close to 20 get out now.
First it was the ACLU and the ISR’s. Next it was body cameras. Now it’s checking GPS every 15 mins. Next it will be mandatory OT and extended tours. DD will start reviewing all your cases because it’s not the city’s fault you have a huge case load without time to work old cases, back to patrol.
Oh and no new contract. Too bad your property taxes went up 30%. Sell your house and rent an apartment if you can’t afford it.

Get yourself a copy of War of The Worlds and key-up

It’s pathetic. 14 has been short for years. I wonder how the people living in million dollar homes feel. I wonder how much property taxes they pay. Only to see resources being sent to areas where they despise the police.
It ain't your daddy's 014 anymore. They used to rock and roll all the time.
Midnights always had a skeleton crew.. days has people hidden inside. The fort is well guarded.
All of the officers working the detail are on their RDOs at time and a half. Please close the post otherwise you will ruin our gravy train.
Thank you.
When you say 4 cars are up midnights, what does this mean? Asking as a civilian.
Fuck her... I'm more interest In th hat litle bitch from the high school that attacked the police and they making a big deal out of but nothing said about her doing it again at Hartgrove
The brass have always referred to patrol as “the backbone” of the department, but the sad reality is, patrol is treated like the “anus” of the department. When the districts are short all the weight and responsibilities of handling the calls are dumped on the patrol cars. Period. There’s no one else to pick up the slack. Then time off is restricted due to lack of manpower in patrol. If the brass cared they would do something about it. Like make the detail at the mayors house an OT opportunity on days off.
Is Lori going to restrict her detail from taking any summer furlos?
014 1st watch has only a couple cars up every night. Usually 6 total. That’s disgustingly unsafe.
From a previous post:
"What this really tells you is that the 20th district has NOTHING else to do...since that district has the lowest service calls in the city! They should merge 20 and 24."
4/15/2019 03:50:00 AM
They should merge them. While they're at fix the district numbering. Make 25 into 13, and make 24, 21. Assuming they don't merge the districts.
OT Dallas States Attorney ignoring the law - Just like Crimesha
Creuzot says he’ll decline to prosecute theft of personal items worth less than $750 unless the theft was for financial gain. He says he’s in the process of dismissing all misdemeanor marijuana cases filed before he took office with a few exceptions including those where a deadly weapon was used. And he’ll stop prosecuting most first-time marijuana offenses and some misdemeanors that he believes often stem from poverty.

OT More outstanding reporting by CWB
Court Report: Prosecutors reduce carjacking charge to "theft from person"
A man and woman who were charged with attacking and carjacking a driver in Wicker Park last year have been sentenced to 30 months “gang probation” after pleading guilty to reduced charges in a deal with prosecutors. Judge William O’Brien approved the agreement in which 20-year-old Angel Ayala pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and 32-year-old Flor Cortes pleaded guilty a reduced charge of theft from a person.

Aahhh, time to asdign caps Officers , Commander staff , school officers and foot patrol officers to first wat h beat cars l
Typical
Stop bitching, you should be fetal at all times anyways. Stupid whatever year wonders. Don’t need more than 1-2 cars up in any district anyways, because fetal. You thick skulled hard charger tactical warrior guy.
Some dipshit old cranky bag of dicks will surely write some version of the above stupid statement. In 2 days, look through the comments, almost guaranteed to have a comment with some of that in there. BUT I digress, the shortages in some of these districts is embarrassing. This department couldn’t get staffed properly if the world depended on it. They’ve made this job so wildly unappealing that the only applicants they can get are mostly people who shouldn’t have the job. Stay safe boys and girls, it gone be a gooooooooood and crazy summer.
End Rahm s detail and health insurance immediately
There's a 014th Dist? Holy cow! I mean Im only asking cuz I haven't seen an opening posted there in years! Ahhh they must be at full strength. Lucky them
Off topic, A new TV show will start in the next couple weeks on Ch2 CBS called "The Red Line" based in Chicago. The opening scene to the series will be.... drum roll....A CPD officer shooting an un-armmed Black youth! Unbelievable!
The only problem with manpower is the word itself.
It’s now referred as resources.
Spent many nights sitting on the homesteads there, namely during the turbulent ‘84-86 (?) Louie GutterRat-Torres warfare zones.
Worked rotating midnights but back then most every beat was manned.
That was then - this is now.
These lying politicians are supposed to be soooooo welcoming and sooooo accepting.
So much they want lawbreaking feral to come here into open arms, don’t they?
So why the detail in the first place?
WHERE’S THE TRUST?
Merit bosses lie on paper to protect their spot, and self advancement by appeasing SpecialEd.
Any peep about “resources” will be not be or ever has been tolerated.
When recruits are assigned there, do they issue shine boxes with the unit designator or do they have to get their own?
Sorry 014, I don’t blame you all one bit and encourage to abide by being less involved in matters that will only harm your wellbeing.
The legendary Insane Fish have been reduced to pond minnows by the the pandering Democrats.
I work in a south side district where we have the opposite problem. With so many ppos on the watch it’s easy to take days off and it helps with seniority. But I’ve been tired of the hood, and not to mention the long time. Open up the bids!!
"016 1st watch: Six 99 cars and only the wagon 10-4. Isn't it against contract?"
File a grievance...In my unit we filed several legitimate manpower grievances. FOP contacted us once, and asked why we didn't go through other channels to report this? We said we felt that the other channels (Ie. safety committee) were less likely to garner any results. We never heard from the FOP again. It's hard to address an issue when the city has walls up at every corner we turn. On a busy night of arrests my unit had more offenders in the building than police officers. One day, a 'wilding" episode may occur INSIDE a police station.
Being short is the new norm. Deal with it, but act accordingly. Take account of your surroundings, and manpower strengths at every moment. They can change rapidly and you may feel like a lone CC corrections officer locked behind a door in Division 9.
A trustworthy supervisor told me once, that in meetings downtown, brass wanted ideas that lowered crime. However, none of those ideas were to even bring up manpower issues. That was the elephant in the room. That was years ago, and I bet things haven't changed that much.
Ppos
The beginning of full public disclosure of critical manpower shortages in Chicago will be exposed. The lines have been drawn between the Mayor elect and the rank and file. Special Ed and top brass are clearly on the other side of the line. Lori and Special Ed's Top Brass have the Plan. The Plan is the same one they use every summer. Cancel days off, restrict request for vacations and furloughs. Work the patrol division til they break. Claim 1000 new hires are coming on board. Spend millions of dollars on overtime and tax the hell out of business and the tax payers to pay for the Plan.
The police, due to manpower shortages, will be pushed to exhaustion during the upcoming months with the usual murder and mayhem, neighborhoods parades, festivals, summer mobile, downtown wildings, beach flash mobs, robbing and raping tourists, joggers and cyclists. The arsonists, serial killings(?), carjacking and the rest of the Summer Criminality will flourish.
The murder rate will increase as the community slaughters one another and the gang and dope wars increase over turf. The community will continue to enforce its "No Snitch Street" on the murder and mayhem. The media will report the usual graphic violence, the reverands and politicians will be out raged, calls for gun control, jobs and money for education. Little Lori and Special Ed will hold public meetings, blame police and say the usual horse shit. I wonder if Little Lori can cry on demand like Rahm use to do. The media loves that kind of stuff.
The Community will blame the Police, gun violence and the low 15% murder clearance rate. Nothing will be said about Kimmy Foxx, her incompetence, mismanagement and corruptive practices in her Office. Nothing will be said about the buffoons running the criminal courts system, the Community No Snitching policy and Sanctuary Cities. Nothing will be said about, the lack of Community ethics, morality or civil standards. Nothing will be said about the million of tax dollars supporting this annual human tragedy.
Rahm has institutionalized this human tragedy and the Community accepts it. Buy more video cameras and license plate readers. Great graphics as we watch murders operate with impunity. Remember the mythical 1000 police new hires. No one ever asks how many coppers retire or leave the job annually. Zero sum game. The shortage is the new normal for CPD. Do More with less.
Now Little Lori with the help of Special Ed, will continue the human tragedy with out consequences. That's the Crime Fighting Summer Plan folks, that's the Plan.
STOP IT ALREADY
From what I hear, nothing major goes on in any of those slow districts way up north. Stop bitching and if you don't then you can ride with me on any beat in the wonderful district of Inglewood on afternoons. More than few p/o's on this job have cush positions their entire career and they still find a way to bitch "stop it already" man or woman up and deal with it. My dome ass has been pushing a beat car for 17 years and exiting in 20 yrs and still working in the beautiful scenery of Inglewood with complaints obviously, but still there. So whenever I here busters complaining about their evil districts up north, fucken joke. Like I said before, come and play with me on afternoons. I bet that the complaints are from new fuckers on the job.
Honestly... who cares. If there are 4 cars up then let there be 4 cars up. Handle your jobs as the come. Not rush your jobs. When you’re done then take another one.. again, don’t rush. Take your job, do what you have to do then finish it. Get your lunch and two personals in and call it a day. Don’t do any traffic stops, street stops and don’t come up for an inprogress job unless you are directly assigned to it or someone is requesting an assist. You will find work is a lot easier when you do it this way and just don’t care about the calls. Stop getting mad at taking calls. Show up and give them what they want which is usually a report. Chill in the car, write your paper. Give VIN and clear when done. Notifications? Great! Even more time and they even give you a department phone now to make it easier. Too many people get mad when given a job... why? It makes the day go by quicker. You do 10 jobs with half of them paper jobs and before you know it the tour is almost done.
So there should be a lot of money to make in overtime in 014. Maybe hireback on days off? Quit bitching and make some money while you can!
grab a tvb with a suspension , check liquor license violations at local hot spots , domestic battery , lock up the bad guy , write paper on every call

Who wants to work for that commander in 014?
All you great and fine patrol guys better start heeding SCC warnings. Do the minimum andonly back up other copper' calling for assist.
It is way to late to salvage this department if Saint Michael came down to run it. The 4-5 merit brass from being hired and to being brass will fuck you royal. You got a cmdr that makes stupid movies in a star war film and acting like a idiot as an elf.
Johnson has to be one of the dumbest and biggest liar that ever made rank. He should be banished from the country allowing the savages to play with impunity.
God bless you all and please be safe. The job is a very distant second to your family life and your well being.
35 yoj retired.
I might just be a pessimistic skeptic, but I really do not think that with a "reform" mayor now about to take office, that there will be very many substantive changes. I don't think that Lightfoot will give up the hidden patronage that exists in all city departments, but especially in the police department. They all want power and I don't think Lightfoot is any different.

When you say 4 cars are up midnights, what does this mean? Asking as a civilian.
————
“Up” means acutal blue and white patrol cars patrolling the entire district. 99 means one officer in a patrol car, 10-4 means two officers in a patrol car.
So, if you read that only 4 cars were up and all were 99, that means a total of 4 police officers in 4 separate cars were responsible for the entire district.
A “backlog” is when there are more 911 calls coming in than there are cars available. So if five 911 calls come in and there are only 4 cars in the district, one of those 911 callers has to wait until a patrol car finishes handling their own 911 car

First of all it's Englewood dumbass. Second if you have 17 years bid out. But then again you Southsiders are smarter then everyone else.
Oh the outrage! How has any district before 14 been able to survive a mayor living in their district ? Oh how 19 must have felt or them watching a presidents house in Hyde park or the 1st district staffing city hall! I think 14 has a bunch of babies - go work the south and west sides or stop complaining.
Lori if you’re listening
Get rid of the 10 hour days in 005th district. It’s a joke and it’s not working. That could free up over 60 officers to be deployed elsewhere
With this lack of manpower the academy pumping out coppers, where are all the street coppers going? I know the new plan that Lori and her people instructed Eddie on was to put more uniforms on the street,and the d-unit will also be in uniform which adds more look of manpower. The city ordered 600 new explorers all marked and 100 will be going to the detective unit,they had 1 recently on 51st all painted up bosses were looking at it, kind of nice on the front fenders it had "detective" on both side guess so the thugs will know it is the d-unit but then again they also know they cannot clear cases so they would be welcomed.
The other part of the plan which is the most open secret is that the city is compiling a list of retired coppers and detectives and want to offer them part-time inside jobs in order to put the desk keepers with guns back on the streets where they are needed. Accountability will be number 1 from the exempts all the way down, the inspection unit will get another 25, the crook county court sergeant who plays hide and seek is being exposed as this is written, her clout is almost gone, with being on that wire,and many are to fall. Oh you don't think so and think your "bullet proof," with your clout,yep ok Lori is a sjw and will be throwing so many under the bus a new sheriff is in town and she is developing a strategy and wants to make a name for herself on day 1.

There was a gain in new officers and the counted the retirees Call your pension rep and he will tell you the number of sworn officers check with CLEAR. It’s no secret. The problem is there are officers, just not on the street. Take the number in each district and unit. Watch secretaries on each watch, front office , radio room, station security It goes on and on

Downtown knows the numbers and so do the commanders. Commanders don’t complain because of how they use the manpower they have.
Problem is all the big exempts used the manpower in the same way on their way up. We also have more recruits coming on the job with no intention of working the streets after probation and the bosses oblige them. Look at the number of 2-5 year officers inside

014 has more Officers pretending to be the police in the "office" (CAPS and fake secretaries) than on the street.

The mayors detail should be eliminated. The mayor should pay for their own security. End of story.
Heard that a female lieutenant in 014 is getting fired for working security at the Cubs game while on duty.
Red line new community favorite. Crime will be down when show runs.
014 District. Why do we have 5 PO's in the front office, 6-7 PO's in the CAPS office, 3-4 PO's on any given day as FOOT, 1 PO on any given day on the 606 Bloomingdale Tracks,and 2 PO's in the SDSC room. Why not put all these ass kissers on beat cars or rapid response cars and help with the radio calls ??????

What's your basis for this statement? What exactly constitutes a schedule as working or not working? Do you have any statistical evidence to back your statement up? From what I can tell 005 is performing at the same level that it would on any other schedule. And I'd argue that 10 hour days should be expanded rather than eliminated, because I like extra days off with my family.
Captain Brennan just left from 010 to 014, i wonder what he has to say about it.
Maybe he can take his buddy Lt. FU (pun intended) with him.

They have to do something, their ship is sinking, and as they have no ethics or morals of course they are willing to do anything for ratings. From a November, 2018 article, According to Nielsen C3 data, broadcasters last month averaged 7.98 million adults 18-49 in prime-time, which marked a 22 percent decline versus the 10.2 million members of the dollar demo who tuned in two years ago. In other words, during the month in which viewers are invited to sample the bounty of the fall season, ratings were lower than they have ever been. I personally hope that trend continues.
Oh the outrage! How has any district before 14 been able to survive a mayor living in their district ? Oh how 19 must have felt or them watching a presidents house in Hyde park or the 1st district staffing city hall! I think 14 has a bunch of babies - go work the south and west sides or stop complaining.
4/15/2019 06:07:00 PM
The president's house was covered by secret service for the most part, and a presidential detail when needed that didn't pull from district manpower. Even if it had pulled from the district, 021 had plenty of manpower to handle it. 009 had plenty of manpower when they had cars on Daley houses. 014 has dangerously low manpower. It's an officer safety issue, not a response time issue. 019 also had manpower issues until they got an influx of extra bodies. The 001st district has a ridiculous number of officers and never had a manpower shortage. I've never worked in 001, so I'm not sure they have anything to do with "staffing city hall." You can have the south and west sides, with their extra manpower, outside unit help, and the extra crime that will always exist there regardless of police manpower. Having NO ONE available to back you up when shit goes south can have the same tragic result regardless of where you work, but we're all really impressed that you work in a shithole district. You're the real police. Make sure you sign your next post with "Englewood ranger" or "Fillmo' ranger" so we know how cool you are. Meanwhile, we'll just sit here in 014 pretending that 4-6 down cars, officers being hired back on RDOs to fill the gaps, and backlogs all night, are just perfectly safe and normal. Dumbass.

Getting fired??? Getting promoted would be more likely. Don't doubt the clout!
You can refuse to work 99 on first and third watch. Go to the wol after roll call and tell them you want a partner.

Hey stupid stop bitching and handle you're 4 or 5 jobs a day, if thats even too much. Because the rest of us that work in the south or wild west are on backlogs from start to finish of tour unfortunately along with all the other hell that goes with it day in day out. And you all bitch about being 99 to handle simple shit paper jobs, do you guys even arrest anybody over there. WOW....
019 also had manpower issues until they got an influx of extra bodies.
Huh? Extra bodies? What the hell are you talking about?

Not a black youth, a gay, black doctor, who was married to a white man, with a young black daughter. Get your facts straight.
4/15/2019 10:54:00 PM
What’s the difference really. The point is that the Police shoots an unarmed black man period.
Without all the inside help the department would be in shambles. What would happen to all the paperwork that needs to be shuffled. Inside help has been on the decline for years now and it needs to stop. It is the backbone of the department and needs to be supported and recognized.
014 District. Why do we need 4-5 PO's in the front office, 5-6 PO's in the CAPS office, 3-4 PO's as footmen on any given day, 1 PO as the 606 Bloomingdale Trail on any given day, 2 PO's in the SDSC room, and currently 2 PO's on the Lightfoot detail ???? Put these ass kissers on beat cars or rapid response cars and help with the radio calls. What a fuck'n JOKE !!!!
014 District. Put all the front office PO's, all the CAPS PO's, all the footmen PO's, and the 606 Bloomingdale Trail PO on beat cars and on rapid response cars. Shortage solved !!!!!!
Captain Brennan, the triple merit promoteee who rides his wife’ s Hispanic captain kissasses coat tails....do nothing self serving back stabbing Fellow?... going to be sucking up to the new mayor...or being put in place to make sure she gets what she wants.....
Funny, except they both made every rank by themselves, except Capt, which you can’t .
4/16/2019 12:03:00 AM

I know they both made Lt. off the list
@ 8:42 hrs
You little puss. Everyone knows which office you "work" in. stop being part of the bullshit and lies.
when is the smartest cmndr (F.S.) retiring anyway? We have to keep hearing him drone on about going every time he opens his pie hole, leave already-you're not as smart as you think you are-no more promotions down the pike so go already!
19s detail on mayor aholes house put a many thru school, where else can you study or sleep? Enjoy 14!

Yes, now 14 can put even more of the special people in a set spot at the detail, it's not enough we have all those ass kissers in caps and the front office as well as a scammer do nothing in review. Seriously time to move most outdoors to actually be the police like the rest of us.
What's your basis for this statement? What exactly constitutes a schedule as working or not working? Do you have any statistical evidence to back your statement up? From what I can tell 005 is performing at the same level that it would on any other schedule. And I'd argue that 10 hour days should be expanded rather than eliminated, because I like extra days off with my family.
Now that summer here, I like the extra days on the golf course and on my boat and motorcycle

Maybe their several “secretaries” and numerous CAPS officers and the couple Compstat officers might have to hit the street.

Wasn’t there a recent case where a white shirt was recommended for firing after a bad beef and Johnson just recommended a suspension
Different rules
We went from 25 districts down to 22 districts, three districts closed, we went from 5 area's, down to 3 area's, 2 area's closed. Get the picture !!!!!!!!!

From what I hear, nothing major goes on in any of those slow districts way up north. Stop bitching and if you don't then you can ride with me on any beat in the wonderful district of Inglewood on afternoons. More than few p/o's on this job have cush positions their entire career and they still find a way to bitch "stop it already" man or woman up and deal with it. My dome ass has been pushing a beat car for 17 years and exiting in 20 yrs and still working in the beautiful scenery of Inglewood with complaints obviously, but still there. So whenever I here busters complaining about their evil districts up north, fucken joke. Like I said before, come and play with me on afternoons. I bet that the complaints are from new fuckers on the job.
Calling bullshit on you working all of your 17 years on a beat car in a district you can’t even spell, but nice try. It’s Englewood by the way.
014 has more Officers pretending to be the police in the "office" (CAPS and fake secretaries) than on the street.
4/15/2019 07:34:00 PM
Just to be clear 014 only has male watch secretaries... oh boy and they have some war stories and they sit around all day talking about themselves. Lol
I remember many many year's ago, 014 had a traffic car, a school car, a park car, numerous wagons, and a working lock-up. What the fuck happened????? We have shit now, but a bunch of ass kissing house mice hiding. UNBELIEVEABLE !!!!!!!!!!

You get your share of backlogs, but it's not every day, and definitely not from start to finish of your tour. Try to make your bullshit even slightly realistic if you expect anyone to buy it. We can all do a unit summary on 011 and see that you have cars available virtually 24/7. And you have outside units to pick up the slack and arrest a few people. The very simple point of my post was that it's unsafe and ridiculous for a district to be unable to man even the regular beat cars on a daily basis. In 011, you always have someone available when you need an assist. That's not the case when an entire district has 7-10 cars working total. It's not about how busy the district is, or how many jobs each car gets. It's about safety, which I specifically stated for you.
P.S. Lose the "wild west" nonsense. It makes you sound stupid. No one is impressed. Seriously. No one.
I live in 016 and all hell broke out last night around 11:30! All kinds of yelling, some bitch running after me with a bat, two house cats fighting and on and on. Oh wait, Never mind. That was in my living room.

Huh? Extra bodies? What the hell are you talking about?
4/16/2019 06:41:00 AM
Let's see... I remember reading on here about 4-5 down cars every night in 019. Then an alderman made some noise. Now there are at least 5 beat cars per sector, two wagons, a traffic car, a couple rapid response cars, and no down cars. I guess they're somehow doing all that without extra bodies.
014 District, 17 April 2019, 2nd watch: 1 field sergeant,12 beat cars,1 wagon,and 2 cars on Lightfoot detail. UNBELIEVABLE !!!!

Twinkle toes? Buster? Are you sure you work the mean streets of the "wild west?" It sounds more like you work in an episode of the little rascals. I probably worked the south side longer than you've been on the job trying to convince everyone else how cool you are for being too dumb to leave the ghetto. I'm absolutely still complaining, because this is a major, obvious, and dangerous safety issue... and you're still too impressed with yourself to understand what I'm saying. It's not jealousy, or an issue of not being happy where I work, or whining about call volume, or whatever you want to keep pretending it is. It's about your fellow officers being put in harm's way more than they need to be, due to a completely unnecessary problem of lack of proper manpower, at a time when we're dying at a higher rate than ever before. But you keep going with your 3rd grade level insults and nicknames. We're all impressed. I feel sorry for the people who work with you. Grow up and learn to understand what you're reading, instead of patting yourself on the back and puffing out your chest because you work in the ghetto. It actually sounds more and more like you're pissed that you have to work the ghetto, instead of a slower district, so you piss all over those who work in a better district, until you get there yourself one day. Get some time on the job, wait for a vacancy, and try to get to a nicer district. We'll all give you a big welcome when you finally escape your shitty ghetto district. Until then, just try using your brain a little more and running your mouth a little less. Being miserable, clueless, antagonistic, and annoying isn't a good way to get anyone to support you or your ridiculous ideas. So just enjoy the overabundance of police resources gifted to your ghetto district while it lasts, which may be forever, and stop trying to prove how cool you are, or how you're better than the police who no longer work in the ghetto. Maybe one day you'll get out of there and see things from the other side, or maybe you'll somehow magically begin thinking rationally and reasonably. I'll cross my fingers, but I'm not holding my breath. Good luck, "ranger."
014 is a JOKE for not conducting manpower and or womanpower logically. Operate the district with cars, not freaken BS ass kissing hidden do-nothing fake police!

So many ass kissers in 014, with less then 15-17 year's on the job, and guess were they are folks, yes... in the: CAPS office, and in the front office !!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE
014 has poor leadership and poor planning. On 17 Apr 2019, running 2nd watch with only 12 beat cars, 1 wagon, and 2 PO's on Lightfoot detail. Officer SAFETY is at stake. Why not put up six rapid response cars to aid the beat cars and provide some safety to the PO's? PO's should be allowed to work their RDO's voluntarily to fill the rapid response cars. The city will say, they don't have the funds or money for the extra manpower. Officer safety is paramount. Stay safe and God Bless !!!!

Took all of 2 minutes to type, only because I'm posting from my phone. Is typing really that hard for you that you think that took a lot of time? I bet it's the thinking part that you struggle with, or maybe coming up with stellar insults like "buster" and "twinkle toes." What part of me admitting that I'm still complaining are you having trouble with, so much so that you feel the need to keep repeating that I'm still complaining? Yes, I'm still complaining. I'm complaining about a lack of manpower in a police district, which is something that is glaringly obvious to anyone with even the slightest bit of sense. If you're actually the police, which I'm seriously doubting at this point, you should be agreeing that a lack of manpower is a serious safety issue, and completely ridiculous and unacceptable. Instead, you decide to have some idiotic dick-measuring contest with only one participant, because you're the supercop who works the west side, the "wild west," etc. You're not special. You're not the only one working in the ghetto. You're not the only one dumb enough to be proud of working the ghetto. You're not the only one who has ever done police work. You probably have 7 or 8 years on the job, and you think you're the greatest cop ever, simply because you work in a shithole. Save your hugs for someone who doesn't think you're a disgusting piece of shit, who for some reason doesn't think officer safety is important during a time when we're dying in higher numbers than ever before. Anyone who's impressed by your "real police, west side, Fillmore ranger" nonsense is just as clueless as you are. So keep flexing and running your mouth. Everyone is really impressed. A supposed police officer arguing that a lack of manpower, a serious officer safety issue, a dangerous situation for the police and the public, doesn't matter because the district is slower than some west side shithole? You're truly pathetic and ignorant, and a disgrace to the "brother"hood you pretend to support. Don't call me brother while being a backstabbing bitch. Support your fellow officers, regardless of where they work, and maybe we'll get support from others, maybe even someone who can fix the problem. When you're retired from this job in 20 or 25 years, depending on your obviously insignificant time on the job, think back on how few people actually give half a fuck what district you worked in, how many arrests you had, or whatever other nonsense you think is important. The whole point of this is to keep each other safe and back each other up. But you need to prove you're a real man and the real police and a "wild west" ranger instead of fighting for officer and public safety. Congrats. Puff that chest up and tell your war stories to your "friends." LOL. Brother.

Good comment Steve. Loved it!
014 District. 18 April 2019, 2nd watch : 2 field sergeants, 12 beat cars,1 wagon, 2 cars Lightfoot detail. Officers SAFETY is at risk. Please be safe and God Bless!
014 district: Why the fuck do we have 4-5 PO's in the front office, a task that civilians can perform, 5-6 PO's in the CAPS office,3-4 PO's as footmen on any given day,1 PO Bloomingdale Trail on any given day (94 million dollar waste). Put all these PO's on beat cars or rapid response cars. SHORTAGE SOLVED!
So many invisible PO'S in 014. What a waste of manpower. So sad !!!!!
1000 new police, my ass. How many retire every month? How many get promoted to Sgt or Detective ? Three districts closed, two area's closed. Rahm's full of shit !!!!!
Officers SAFETY is paramount !!!!
To all the young naive cowboys on the job, I wish you well. Don't be a dead superman. Listen to some wisdom from the old timers. I don't want to attend anymore funerals. Officers SAFETY is #1 !!!!
SHAME on 014 for hiding these do nothing PO's. No accountability and no visibility. Why not aid your fellow beat officers and get in a rapid response car ???? You have no shame!!!!
Yes, you hiding in the front office, and you in the CAPS office, I don't see you !!!!!!!!
