So What Other Rumors Are True?
Seeing as how the blog readers scooped the media with the bodyguard changes, what other rumors are going to turn out to be true? Here are some with a good chance of being correct (rumors will be underlined):
- Word is the court OT games are over. The court section is being re-vamped with new people and the all day everyday is gonna get you fired/indicted. The warning has been given and those who do not heed it will regret it.
This has been all over the place. Something is up and business as usual isn't it. Swiping is going to jam up a few think-headed people who aren't getting the message, too. Watch for the D Unit to pay a price in suspensions or worse.
- Rumors floating around 35th street narcotics to be disbanded. More manpower for patrol.
Not as likely, but a wholesale dumping of unproductive or shady teams is in the works. Narcotics is still necessary, just not with so many people.Weed is about to be legal, so the remaining teams are going to concentrate on the harder stuff.
- Police out of schools
Not a rumor any more, but which schools is the newest question:
- Pointing to a recent confrontation between police officers and a student at Marshall High School, Lightfoot also disclosed that the days of having Chicago police officers stationed inside Chicago Public Schools were likely to end on her watch. The mayor-elect said she has asked Police Supt. Eddie Johnson and Schools CEO Janice Jackson to find another way to guarantee student safety.
“It brought home to me whether it made sense for us to have police officers as effective first-responders in our schools,” Lightfoot said.
Answer: It doesn't make sense to have police as social workers. Never has. Getting the cops out of schools is a good first step if your schools aren't going to actually punish anyone.
- VRI to be cancelled.
Again, this rumor has popped up the last few summers. One summer, the Department tried to cut way back on VRI and lost control of downtown within two weekends. This is the single largest overtime budget line item so it's the biggest target. Expect a revamp soon, maybe directing it more at the Districts similar to what they tried last month - you can work OT in your District, third watch only, and you are on radio alert for immediate redeployment downtown should the un-describable rambunctious youth appear from the Red Line.
- Cost cutting is allegedly going to start with clearing out Call Back by firing those who have been stripped. The new Mayor wants to show she will be tough on Police discipline and this is an easy way to start. COPA is alleged to be on board as it will push up their stats.
This wouldn't surprise us at all - you're fired, sue us for your job back. Closes a lot of books on cases the City would rather not litigate until forced to.
Let's see where it all goes.

Why do anything.
I started out on burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff
Narcotics should have been stripped of officers years ago. We don't need any more hospital runs by the district officers so the prima donnas can work their 4 hour shift, m-f. The 002 Lockup looks like a geriatric ward most nights.
What about those 10 hour days in 005.
Its the running joke of the day on tact as they only work 5 hours a day anyway.
If the department wants to stop me from being in court all day every day, then they should tell the ASAs to stop sending me subpoenas and stop asking me to stay all day while they try to decide if the case is going or if they need me to testify. Tell the judges and ASAs to start moving cases to trial on an expedited basis instead of letting them drag on for years. It’s unfair to the victims who have to take a day off work or change their plans each time that they are required to appear.
Please Mayor Lightfoot take a look at the number of exempt rank. There are way too many exempt spots that are not necessary. Lots of middle men that do nothing but collect enormous pay checks that will turn into enormous pensions.
Lightfoot needs to stop worrying so much about CPD and focus on the other aspects of the city that drain money.
Give coppers a fair shake on a contract and let us do our jobs. Simple as that.
Shit if they dump narcotics there won’t be any dam arrests by the department at all.
"So What Other Rumors Are True?"
Remember the CPD Rumor Central where you were supposed to report rumors and receive information back about the validly of the rumor. Perhaps it was located in a SCIF-Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility many levels below the surface of the earth. Is it still manned?
Word is that the SWAT hostage negotiators are to be replaced with southside MB church choirs. They will be singing and swaying hostage takers, terrorists & mentals into submission and surrender.
As far as VRI...it’s the best program for the business community and public the city has ever had. They love it and the visibility is a great deterrence. Cops walk and talk on the beat and people thank them for it. You can’t put that manpower burden on 018 or 001. They are already overwhelmed. Some of the VRI cops are lazy but headquarters can easily weed them out. They’re the same ones that don’t swipe.
Lots of quivering sphincters out there. What's the over/under that big head ed makes it past the fourth of july.
They have multiple detectives that are going to be stripped over this nonsense. This investigation has been going on for several months. Caught shopping , going home , working out and signing out at 4 pm. Thanks to the greedy assholes who ruin it for everyone.
Look for 20-25 detectives to be stripped over the court OT scandal. Some clout babies are already talking and making deals to save themselves.
The so-called union have a say?
That the FOP went on the record about the clouted body guard detail and never did about the cheating scandal is the most shameful think I've seen in my 28 years.
I would love for her to get rid of these ohare desk dollies and send them back in the districts and out on the streets.
Wow. Changes ahead. And people will still sign up for this job and stay until 63. I remember when we were on 3 day weekends. Fri/Sat/Sun then Sat/Sun/Mon. I used to dread my off days. Wanted to work. Now I am retired and no regrets.
Agreed on firing those at 311. I was there injured and there were folks (and people) lol there for 3 to 5 years before I arrived, stayed during my 2 years and I've retired and I'm sure they are still there.
VRI can’t be cancelled, we don’t have the manpower to handle anything that pops up in any of the hotspots. It might be suspended briefly but it will be back. If we refused to work it they would have to hire more, but that’s another post.
Sad but being fetal the last decade has done wonders for me.
NO more complaints from bosses that i "BE HER-ASSING" people.
Nobodys trying to change my start time or give me a goofy partner.
I write lengthy contact cards i actually put in relevant info.
Cant remember going to court everybody want a summons.
SHE can fix us however she wants but she will never fix the hood with that I AM A HARD ASS look she tries to pull off. If she keep half the exempts she is a bullshitter just like the last 2 mayor.
And the red light cameras and boots on car? Yea i didnt think she wanted to get rid of cash making scams. ALL ABOUT fixing lets see who she put on board if you see REV RUNS appointed to anything she is corrupt too.

In what?
I am hiding under my bed. I am not coming out.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Years ago city Water and Sewer Department supervisors that used their own cars would get mileage reimbursement checks every month, but they would have to turn in a log. Most thought it was just a formality and fudged a sheet on the last day of the month. Well one day it happened and straight up first ward gangsters got fired because of them. That's the whole idea behind giving someone enough rope to hang themselves. Just pick and choose who gets who gets the axe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well you haven't learned anything in 28 years then.
The FOP represents those members of the bodyguard detail, they are patrolmen.
The FOP doesn't represent those members of the cheating scandal or anyone close to that as they are Sergeants and now LieTenants.
The FOP wouldn't issue a statement about someone they do not represent.
I would love for her to get rid of these ohare desk dollies and send them back in the districts and out on the streets.
-----------------
The streets don't need desk dollies. Nobody wants to hear their stories nor spend a tour with them!
You can have all of them!
Guess our reliable ‘news’ channels need to go o line for the ‘true’ reporting...
Haha, VRI to be cancelled, it was a nice pay check but however I have learnt to manage my budget on my salary only so it was just going toward savings. However, I won’t hustle to bring five parkers /movers/above/isr/arrests anymore. I go strictly to my jobs, will provide the best service to my ability, whatever comes to my productivity - goose eggs, see if they going to like it.
Retired guy here. I hope the new mayor takes a few minutes how badly she needs a a properly functioning police department. Hope she has the will to bury the hatchet and start fresh. The police department that she dealt with over he years has been totally defanged. Very few officers are proactive. She needs to show total support for the men and women in blue from this day on. There will be no issues of getting fir of some bad apples along the way. Hope she is smart enough to heed this message if not it will be a long 4 years. Without and effective police department you will have police department you will have a dangerous and unstable city.
Pensions are going to change for new hires it's coming, 401K for them and don't think the fire department is immune their Manning Clause is up this July.
Need to give cfd police power. Drive around hood and respond to domestics.
Cut VRI? Then you'll have officers who were bringing a nominal amount of activity completely shut down for spite. Not to mention, there will be a lack of police presence on Michigan Ave that will only cause more problems for the City.
She wants to save money? Cut the idiotic number of Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs and Directors. Abolish the rank of Commander and make Captains run a district. Hire back retired P.O.s as part time civilian employees to staff HQ and district administrative spots, subsequent to collective bargaining for those bid spots, of course.
No more hiring sloppy sassy civilians for CPD admin. Have to be retired P.O.s as they are marginally more trustworthy and acquainted with the workings of the job. They will need little to no training to get up and running.
But really, the smart move is to cut back on entitlements and the failing CPS.
CHA gets almost a billion dollars a year, and CPS gets 6 billion. At a billion and a half, CPD is the least of your problems budget-wise, Madame Mayor.
"As far as VRI...it’s the best program for the business community and public the city has ever had. They love it and the visibility is a great deterrence...."
But gee won't it be just as swell and 100x better when its staffed with members NOT getting OT
If she wants to cut the budget start at the top and eliminate all these bullshit exempt spots. They have created spot just so these merit hacks can pad they pension at the expense of the working police. you don't need a XO that is the commander and watch commander job to run the station not some imbecile who got that position because he or she is a minority or knows someone who knows someone. So much waste on the police department with hidden spot and far to many white shirt who do nothing to earn their pay. Look Lori at how much money you could save and put it were it really counts, back to the beat car

Is it true “call back” gave an honorable mention to someone detailed there?
How about we do away with social media / Twitter officers and leave it to the department of Legal Affairs or Special Events to promote via social media.

It was a good run for safe city, vri or what ever they want to call it. If you can't make it on what you get paid for doing nothing, then you won't make it anywhere. Thank God I'm done.
There is a lot of fat and waste on CPD. Start with all the “House Mouse I’m the Real Police” Put them on patrol. And cut all Clout exempts. Absolutely ridiculous. LT or Captain can be in charge of many smaller units etc.
Veteran Copper
Bad News: 25 Detectives will stripped over court OT scandal...and now it looks getting stripped gets you fired.
Comment: To those detectives, your greed got you exactly where you are. You began to think the city you work for owed you this OT. No one would ever have begrudged you legitimate court OT, but you took advantage.
Good news: Perhaps another class of detectives will be made.
Comment: 25 detectives is a lot to lose. 10-15 cases assigned per day, so you do the math. That's a lot of cases to dump on an already overburdened detective division.
Ms Lightfoot , yes fire all who can no longer testify in court that are currently POW's at callback , hidden in some unit , some were caught stealing from duty disability pension , now doing administrative work . End VRI , clean out all sworn from units that should be manned by civilians . Assign CAPS Officers to Beat cars , put them in a box , on patrol , working 8 hours a day and weekends . End exempts positions , keep superintendent , every other returns to civil service rank , perks are the day off group , car and status . This will help solve Pension Funding .
Extra revenue , license bicycles that are used everyday to go to,from work , delivery service , they use a lane of traffic that must be maintained . They also disobey traffic laws .
Dear Madam Mayor Lightfoot:
Please do not cancel the VRI overtime. I am a hard working officer with 22 years on the job. I have no cr numbers, no complaints and I do my job the best I can. Please don't punish the good officers.
Its not just narcotics. All of ocd will send people who are detailed and borrowed back to districts.That will satisfy the number crunchers.
I'll say this again and again,Chicago DOESN'T NEED 50 ALDERMEN. Chicago SHOULD HAVE only 1 MAYOR and 10 ALDERMEN / 10 WARDS. No one does shit about this or even put a referendum on the election ballot on this issue!
Not a hater, but, why wouldn't you want all those ( if true) who are actually scamming the overtime system not only get fired but see some jail time. When we were hired we took an oath to uphold the law, not scam the system. Theft is theft whatever you want to call it. Oh, I see, "they owe me", I heard that before. All the "overtime" paid out could be put towards pension payments etc.. If you want to buy something , save, don't rely on bogus bananas. Fucking unbelievable.
Considering that Ms. Foxx is refusing to prosecute “victimless drug crimes”, might as well disband Narcotics entirely.
Just a thought, but maybe it’s time for patrol officers to turn a blind eye to most shootings, as well. If it’s two “community members” shooting each other, you’re never going to get any witnesses to come forward, and if it’s a law-abiding citizen doing the shooting, well, that’s just them doing the job the politicians won’t allow the police and courts to do.
as soon as he arrives over my activity goes to zero and I'm sure that goes for all officers that work we all right The only reason I stick my neck out to get the minimum for VRI is still that I can make the extra money. No other reason don't care.
I would love for her to get rid of these ohare desk dollies and send them back in the districts and out on the streets.

Ur funny..Nobody works hard at Ohare and u want to bitch about the inside girls. There is a reason why u go there to retire. just ride out ur time and stop complaining. Remember, the district will always have it worse.
You want to clean up Call Back, get rid of the 90% medical abusers down there. Especially for the ones with the mysterious "back pain." Stop dragging on cases of stripped officers. You can fill up a whole watch in a district with all the officers down there for bullshit.

Isn’t anyone at city hall suspicious at the amount of OT and time on the books they have in that unit?
if the new mayor doesn't have police protection, why does the old mayor? Rahm still has police detailed to his house today.
Let's get rid of some of these worthless detectives that do nothing and rack up tons of overtime VRI is worthless too
This keeps up and you all will be wishing for the Good Old Days when Rahm was running the show. LOL
All I hear is a bunch of whining crybabies who probably have never done anything in their career to help better or advance themselves.
Looks like times are a changing. Long overdue.
As to the why do anything tool. Maybe you should start by not cashing your check.
Lot of for sale signs gonna be going up and BTW, WGAF?????
B Fetal and watch the circus burn down this shit hole.
LightLoafer will be a one-term proven full of shit experiment.
Keeping Jugghaid SpecialEd after tomorrow will be the icing on the cake.
Police reforms and police accountability are Lari LightLoafer’s top priority and cut throat Merits are going to do plenty to stay in favor, none of them want to even think of having to go back to Patrol.
Cleaning out Callback, depending on the transgression, definitely on the Change docket.
Narcotics could be just a desk clerk statistical entity - like CAPS, it will fundamentally transform into a substance abuse resource, organizing free clinics, mentoring programs and a needle distribution center.
Part of Restorative-Justice is to keep the courts empty, eliminating multiple appearances and since felonies are so rare these days I’d expect to see return to “hand-off” assignments coming back to the Area.
Nobody here is expecting any prosperity in the next 4 years.
Just more of the same civil disobedience, corruption and in-your-face political correctness.
Can we get rid of gang teams and maybe Vice too? They don't want anybody doing any police work anyways. Let tact take it all over. We need those bodies in the district so we can finally use comp time.

There indeed will be rocky times ahead. Loti is no friend of CPD.
That being said she was the lesser of two evils. If Taxwinkle won it would’ve been like running into a buzz saw.
She would’ve run CPD, and the city itself, further aground than any mayor in history.

It’s not just O’Hare. Every unit has way too many “inside” people.
As does every district. Every district has anywhere from 8-12 totally useless “special people” that do little, if anything.
Complete dead weight that need to hit a beat car.
Games with OT at court? - I’m fetal. Don’t go anyway. Next!
Clout Unit disbanded? Who cares. I have no clout so couldn’t apply. Next!
School? LMAO. Next!
VRI. I enjoy my days off. I don’t own a cool tricked out Jeep, Benzo, or Porsche so fuck the VRI.
What else is supposed to make me mad?
All overtime initiatives should be for straight time to save the city some money! You overtime hounds got spoiled with the time and a half and some would work seven days a week if they could. Remember when VRI was letting guys work unlimited days on their furlough? Some worked their entire furlough with only a day or two off. Don’t want to work for straight time? Step aside, some kid with two or three years on will be happy to take your spot! Believe me after your bitching and moaning you’d be right back at the computer signing up for next month’s special.
Loving Retirement
Now get your shine box!
Can't wait to retire from this SHIT HOLE
Not just narcotics but also swat. All the blue shirts will be going to high crime districts on all three watches.
35th street thinks 60 swat guys doing nothing but working out are needed in the districts.
White shirts from swat will be managing the troops from Homan.
They will have all their cool gear with them in case they are needed.
Please take a look at all the double, triple merit picks and their family connections etc. how about making the promotional exams all scantron and not scamtron and get the results the day of.
Goodbye to Anthony Riccio and Eddie Johnson, good luck with future endeavors.
Things are looking up. Can’t wait to go to work tomorrow.
The coronation of Lori, now and forever shall be known as Mayor Lori, the Reformer from Ohio, the first of her kind, the ruler of the City by the Shore - Urbus en Horto (city in a garden) is now complete. All hail her Grace. Long live the Mayor. It is decreed from this day forward that "We are better together".
Swear in the 50 Aldermanic Lords of their Fiefdoms.
Now all will bend the knee and pledge their loyalty and integrity to the Mayor. It shall be forever be inscribed on the great wall of City Hall "We are enough and we have enough".
Let the reform begin. I hear by decree the Fiefdoms of the 50 Thieves, their power will be reduced and they shall be humbled. The cleansing of the House of Corruptors is now in progress. All hail her Grace (and much success as you will need it). Her Grace has used language that is strong in terms of intent, tone and tenor. Let the Corrupters beware - REFORM IS HERE.
We wait, we hope and we watch.

Please. Give us all a break. Like the city can’t survive without Narcotics bringing in their one rock arrests of grandpa. And even with some of their bigger scores, what does it matter. There’s 100 other guys with unlimited supply of drugs just waiting to take that guys place. If u truly think you’re making a difference, drive through the west side one day. You will quickly see that you are not even scratching the surface.
Will Mayor Lori Lightfoot reduce number of Alderman?
Eliminate exempt rank in CPD ?
Put sworn CPD house mice ,cowards, back in a beat car .
Require enforcement of grooming ,uniform standards on CPD
End three man light bulb 💡 changers , garbage crews , forestry crews ?
I only have 6 years on and half of my class is working in plain cloths in some trash unit. How did this dept become more plain cloths then uniform patrol. LORI if you read this get rid of the units and send coppers back to the patrol division and hire an outside person to ensure the bosses are listening to you. When you call 911 a uniform beat car shows up not some secret agent wannabe who works out of Homan and leaves after 4 hours. Seriously these Homan guys actually believe their important. YOU ARE A MUNICIPAL LOCAL CITY COP and nothing more.
Let time tell
Will she hire civilians to replace sworn officers.
It worked at 911 center , detail unit .
Why not ERPS , Records , Security at City Hall ,Court Section , Graphic Arts , News Affairs ?
That the FOP went on the record about the clouted body guard detail and never did about the cheating scandal is the most shameful think I've seen in my 28 years.
5/20/2019 05:35:00 AM
Your idea of our union representation is a bit skewed. Our union has no dog in the fight concerning the lie-tenants. Your beef, if any, is with the sergeant's union. OTOH, the bodyguard people are still represented by the FOP, so the FOP is required to represent their interests.
Bighead Ed is only around until the end of summer!!! The city will go up for grabs, as it always does, and he’ll be shown the door for his inability to quell the summer violence. Look for Superintendent Staples by summers end!!!!
Who cares. Just show up..swipe in.. have some laughs with coworker.. handle your jobs.. go home and live your life with friends and family. The rest is just bullshit noise. I don't care if this unit or that unit gets disbanded. People who say thay hate this job the most about this job invest way to much energy talking about complaining about the job.
Check the Q in all these directs and you will see all the arrests being made by the 2 year tac hard chargers are of old men and woman for BS like dopw obstruction of traffic and .1g if bullshit dust. All while people are getting shot and killed at the huge house parties that end up spilling outside on the street. What an embarrassment this department has become along with the quilty of work it used to mandate from its POs who wanted to be in nice spots. Now it's all about look me I wear a beard, tight jeans, and tell everyone i work undercover.
P.O.'s out of schools is way over due! In my district on some days We have more P.O.'s working in the schools then the street. Have one car that signs logs and answers paper jobs at schools.
Truth is you will see some court officers some court sergeants in court but they will be listening to the judge tell them will the defendant please rise. You’re also going to see some of the detectives that of been playing games for such a long time now that there is a new sheriff as mayor they will be held accountable, this is going to be a whirlwind of new things happening. The people in callback there is also correct they are looking at terminating many somebody agree just behavior is not going to be tolerated anymore which it should’ve been in the first place.
The patrolman who was the commander of Rahm's detail is now ANOTHER commander at OEMC. Two commanders there now. And one of his guys was thrown into the sergeant's class. Several will stay with Rahm but the command post will fold.
A lot of those bodyguards refused to join the union and are fare share employees. Fuck them make them crossing guards.
What ever happen to the PO tax wizard and his clients from the 005th district? Did they give the IRS back taxes? Where they penalized? Was is too big too fail? Was it Smulleted? Just asking.

Interesting !!
Get ready for Lemmer!
They already put a couple of stripped cops in no pay status from 311. A little tidying up before the new administration comes in. The cops were easy targets because of damning evidence and video footage. Like the recent Lothario that was in the news for feeling up Dames on traffic stops. More to come I'm sure, but they got some cops down there that have weak allegations against them. The city hasn't even told them what they are stripped for even though it's been months since their stars got taken away.
What about those 10 hour days in 005.
Its the running joke of the day on tact as they only work 5 hours a day anyway.
That’s a false narrative. Can promise you it’s not worth the head ache of being 005 tact. You can have it. I can guarantee 005 tact works longer days and covers 90% of the activity of the district besides 595. Let’s take a look at your time card. I’ll put money you leave our whatever play you get. You are the reason the morale and this job blows. Because some beat off gold star will read this. And actually think what your saying is true. And give us another head ache.
Yeah, I broke down and bought a used Tesla.

Yeah dream on! Worst clearance rate in the country! Worst of the big cities! Worst management moves! Worst worst worst
Seriously now...what’s her redeeming value?? But, but she’s a good guy! She’s a good guy! This department has enough of those and that’s why it’s a fucking joke!
Most of you are not aware but when the POs leave the courtroom after being prepped, the state has to prep the detectives. This usually is on the admin building where the detectives have to review sup reports, GPRs, videos, 911 calls, Crime Scene Processing Reports, search warrants, phone dumps, cell phone records, social media postings, etc. This can take a long time. Additionally, when the ASAs prep civilian witnesses (and often some of the "forgetful" POs), the detectives are requested to sit in to keep them on their original statement. So just because a detective is not in the courtroom, it doesn't mean they are scamming OT. The other issue is that the ASAs have a call to deal with before they can get to prepping officers on complicated cases. They will often tell you to eat lunch and be back in their office afterwards. The issue is that when CPT Trehanas was lurking around 26th Street, she didn't know this. Nor did she know to check to see if officers and detectives had multiple cases in different courtrooms. The amount of OT in court has shrunk ten fold since the 1990s. This is not anywhere on the level of potential issues going on this department.
Goodbye to Anthony Riccio and Eddie Johnson, good luck with future endeavors.

YUP!! Its not a secret, Lori's new committe found a replacement and the new Superintendent starts 03 Sep 2019.
If Narcotics is going - can Vice be far behind?
With Richie and Rahm gone. It'll be a mad power grab by the 50thieves.
Game of Thrones CHICAGO STYLE LOLOL.
Funny how she is making all these changes to the police department as if we are the problem. She could potentially be worse than rhambo, but we shall see.
Disbanding narcotics is about as stupid of a decision as it gets (and I say this as a fetal PO). If you remove them then you’ve got nobody making arrests, and to the goofs who object to this statement your TVB’s don’t count.
As a side note, I made a startling realization the other day. There are an inordinate amount of social justice warriors on this job. This silly north side district I’ve worked in now for almost two years has proven it. Expect them to drink the kool aid.
Anyone else suspect that the next four years are gonna be one big love fest between the media and Lighthoof? They won't dare say one bad thing about her. Every idea of hers will be a genius move. Just like the "scandal free" eight years of Obama. If the media doesn't report it, did it really happen?
“You can’t put that manpower burden on 018 or 001. They are already overwhelmed.”
Are you kidding me!!!!!!! Lol!!!! Now that’s funny!

It was a good run for safe city, vri or what ever they want to call it. If you can't make it on what you get paid for doing nothing, then you won't make it anywhere. Thank God I'm done.
His name was Big Worm. Get it right if you’re going to quote that movie.

I only have 6 years on and half of my class is working in plain cloths in some trash unit. How did this dept become more plain cloths then uniform patrol. LORI if you read this get rid of the units and send coppers back to the patrol division and hire an outside person to ensure the bosses are listening to you. When you call 911 a uniform beat car shows up not some secret agent wannabe who works out of Homan and leaves after 4 hours. Seriously these Homan guys actually believe their important. YOU ARE A MUNICIPAL LOCAL CITY COP and nothing more.”
Sounds like someone applied and didn’t make the cut. Don’t be mad because you tried to get there and couldn’t. You didn’t get picked? Me either. Relax kid, it’s going to be alright.
Pensions are going to change for new hires it's coming, 401K for them and don't think the fire department is immune their Manning Clause is up this July.
5/20/2019 08:05:00 AM
Dear Dumbfuck,
If new hires don't pay into the pension a.k.a. 401k, then there will no pension for anyone. Stop making shit up, at least until you understand what a 401k is and what a pension is.
A 15 year old girl was almost abducted near Hyde Park today. The Scum Times listed the perpetrator’s description as follows: “The suspect, who fled the scene, is a slender man between 20 and 30 years old, and between 5-foot-2 and 5-foot-5-inches tall, police said. He was wearing a black windbreaker, blue jeans and a black shirt with a Ferrari logo.” Ugh, was he white, black, brown? Black, blue or green eyes? Scum Times adds this: “Anyone with tips is asked to call Area Central detectives” and they give a number. Soooo .... does anyone agree with me that a skin / hair description would help? Why even note the shirt and jeans color (black and blue, respectively). The brightest bulb on the tree may disagree with me, but I believe these can be changed whereas skin color generally stays the same.
SWAT will be “deployed” back to the districts and on the watch. June till October. They will keep their take home cars if they choose to respond to jobs off duty. One training day a month.

Im pretty sure that quit a few tact teams by themselves are blowing away the entire narcotics unit consisting of 400 people in total arrests made and gun recoveries.

The patrolman who was the commander of Rahm's detail is now ANOTHER commander at OEMC. Two commanders there now. And one of his guys was thrown into the sergeant's class. Several will stay with Rahm but the command post will fold.
So what! No different than that other guy who was supposedly LEGENDARY for what he did for gang hierarchy...Give me a break, killing still going on..nothing has changed.....so what did he do that was so LEGENDARY? GTFOH......What's his name?
I would love for her to get rid of these ohare desk dollies and send them back in the districts and out on the streets.
5/20/2019 05:52:00 AM
Ur funny..Nobody works hard at Ohare and u want to bitch about the inside girls. There is a reason why u go there to retire. just ride out ur time and stop complaining. Remember, the district will always
Dumb dumb I’m talking about the little dollies with 10 years on hiding out get them back on the street
Lol, why would you get rid of Narcotics before vice? At least narcotics and violence go hand and hand. I'm not sure what vice does these days. Massage parlor rips? Who gives a fuck?
Ohare has to many people with no time on the job there!! Go back and get some time on. It’s a slap in the face to all who have time on and want to get over to ohare but can’t!!

Why wouldn't it be a lovefest? Anyone politician with a "D" after their name gets a pass, they play for the same team. There is no adversarial relationship amongst the two as there should be, the media only scrutinizes conservatives.
A word of caution for the media, when the trials for sedition and treason begin, dont be surprised when some of you are included in the cabal. Lets just hope it goes all the way up to Jug ears Barry, and he doesn't get away THIS TIME.

You got a little splooge stain on your face there. Narcotics could at least give you a towel after you're done sucking them off.
Superintendent is staying on through October for the IACP Convention hosted in Chicago and then will "retire" so that it does not appear to be a firing.
His name was Big Worm. Get it right if you’re going to quote that movie.

If you'd watched the whole movie instead of being an ADHD millennial you'd know that he calls him big perm at one point. Jeez, these kids!
What about those 10 hour days in 005.
Its the running joke of the day on tact as they only work 5 hours a day anyway.
That’s a false narrative. Can promise you it’s not worth the head ache of being 005 tact. You can have it. I can guarantee 005 tact works longer days and covers 90% of the activity of the district besides 595. Let’s take a look at your time card. I’ll put money you leave our whatever play you get. You are the reason the morale and this job blows. Because some beat off gold star will read this. And actually think what your saying is true. And give us another head ache.
HAHA WHO THE FUCK IS 595???? And everyone needs to stop being jealous about 10 hour days in 005... you can have your bs 4-2

Not just narcotics but also swat. All the blue shirts will be going to high crime districts on all three watches.
35th street thinks 60 swat guys doing nothing but working out are needed in the districts.
White shirts from swat will be managing the troops from Homan.
They will have all their cool gear with them in case they are needed.
5/20/2019 12:47:00 PM
If this is true I am leaving swat. I have put up with enough shit at swat. Rotating watches. Day Off Groups. Shitty Equipment. Fucked Up Bosses. Overtime is good but screw it. I’ll pick my own district and it will be near my home. 35th street can blow me if they think I’m answering calls in a ghetto district. All the money that was spent training me and I’ll be doing paper on domestics?
Fuck you Big Head Ed! You don’t need swat and we don’t need you. Shove your take home car and OT up your FAT ass.
Great job standing up for the team Lt Lamb. You and Hroma would sell out your mothers for a promotion.

All overtime initiatives should be for straight time to save the city some money! You overtime hounds got spoiled with the time and a half and some would work seven days a week if they could. Remember when VRI was letting guys work unlimited days on their furlough? Some worked their entire furlough with only a day or two off. Don’t want to work for straight time? Step aside, some kid with two or three years on will be happy to take your spot! Believe me after your bitching and moaning you’d be right back at the computer signing up for next month’s special.

You sound like a real peach. WTF do you care what coppers do with their RDOs. You’re the type of jag off that is 100% company bitch. Why would anyone want to not make the most money possible on their day off. I work construction as a side gig because I was carpenter before I got on the job. I could work hard lifting 4x8 sheets of drywall all day and not make what the time and half of OT brings in. I do this to get ahead because I’m forced to live and raise a family in this ever expensive ass city and county that keeps taxing more of my money and giving it to people that don’t like to work. I’m sorry I didn’t live in my moms basement when I started this job. Be thankful you’re retired and don’t have to work patrol in this new CPD era. And learn to mind your own business. And no, I’ve never done anything on this job for straight time while on my day off. You should be getting a tan and playing golf not worried about what we make.

We have a vice unit?
I enjoy reading how everyone hates on the cops working at Homan. Maybe about 750 police officers working there. All in BOC have ECSO training. All in BOC are familiar with and use COH court orders. Most in BOC have authored search warrants of which 99% are positive. Most have worked long term cases and have experience with TIIIs and some have authored them, This is one of the largest police department in the United States. They will never get rid of narcotics, gang investigations, vice, intelligence, or AFU. If you don't like that cops do that type of work tuff shit they like it or they wouldn't stay there. If your jealous put in an application, get detailed over, or try to write a search warrant. Im sure if you call the 24 hour desk they can put you in touch with someone who can help you out if you don't know how.
Some district guys? Is that more than two guys? Just courteous gel head.
Let’s see no Mayoral security details no cops in schools. Good no need to hire any more since all these fine officers will now be hitting the streets. Right or am I missing something.
Maybe the clue here is Staples being called a good guy. Seriously she has prover herself capable by the stellar job she has done with the Dicks. Less than 10% clearance means there are far fewer people of color in jail, and after all isn’t that good he stated goal. Think your the laughing stock now, wait until Super Staples has her capable hands on the wheel. TheCPD is text book Peter Principal. LOL

True, but I can count them on both hands. There's also coppers in narcotics that couldn't tell you where 26th and Cal is. And that's giving them the address. Those will be bosses soon, so don't worry about them.
The good old days, sign in at 9am at 26th st, sit in the jury room with a book and then sign out at 4.

And yet again another copper who doesn’t want to give up those four hour days and the take-home car! Don’t worry we welcome you back to the district working at the same tours of duty with you thanks for replying though!

What a baby you swat pukes are!! God forbid if you have to answer calls. You did sign up to be police officers didn’t you? Spent money on to train you? Slow down operator. Where do they find you ass hats?
The best thing that could happen to us actually one of the best things is the new mayor has stated numerous times she will be pulling the Chicago police officers out of the Chicago public school system which is a bonus for us. Now they can hire some liberal thinking counselors to help out the poor children with the bullshit that they pull. Is it a felony when these counselors get their asses kicked or get killed dealing with these so-called students that are out of control?
When you hear a call at the schools when there are no police in there you take your time going There do not jeopardize your career I getting there too quickly and possibly getting into an accident. This is what they want, these are the rules that are set follow the rules enjoy your life enjoy your family that is what it is all about at the end of the day.

Couldn’t agree more with the guy responding. This guy thinks clippers working OT should make straight time to save the city money? He is a company bitch. Must’ve been some bean counting merit hack. Fuck outta here jagoff.
They should send Lemmer to narcotics. The unit would disband itself!

Shut your mouth about SWAT. Does any other unit have to rotate all three watches? Six working days? Hours always changing? Training in inclement weather? Take the SWAT test and let’s see if you can do it. Suck a big one.
