You Want Some Reform Lori?
How about instead of throwing further roadblocks and walls to effective police work at the street level, the mayor starts at the top and work on some structural reforms in the Department? If this weekend wasn't a wake-up call for Lightgroot, she's sleepwalking. How many hundreds of thousands were spent? And how many bodies hit the floor? The "same old, same old" isn't working and isn't likely to work. You need a "top down" housecleaning and Special Ed ain't Lori's guy - he's Rahm's guy. A guy who didn't even apply for the job.
Here's a good starting point - numerous units are set up this way at Homan Square:
Here's a good starting point - numerous units are set up this way at Homan Square:
One guy (with staff) reporting to one guy (with staff) reporting to another guy (with staff) to what purpose? Besides creating another gold braid pension spot and hiding place for connected people we mean.
It's time for a wholesales restructuring and that means eliminating duplicate and triplicate over-supervision at numerous levels. When big companies want to cut costs and streamline operations, they cut middle management. In 15 years, we went from six deputy chiefs to eighteen. That's not a sign of a healthy organization.

In 007 we have 2 admin sgts. Including one that hasnt made less than 225k a year in the last 5 years. All without working the street.
Go fetal, stay fetal, and sooner or later......
The top dog managers will all have fecal matter
on their hands, which never got dirty from work
ever before
Damn ur right about this chart
SHe won't do it because she is either afraid to do it, or doesn't know how to do it. She just listens to her 'Daley' handlers......"Everything is OK, the sky is not falling...."
She has a chance to be the best mayor in 100 years, but she doesn't know how....
I don’t know if one unit at homan square with an x.o./captain. The deputy chief spot is useless.
The people of Chicago are the definition of insanity! The Mayor keeps being elected from the same group (democRATS) of people term after term and the citizens are expecting a different result. TRUTH IS everyone elected in the state of illannoy owes their success to the democRATS and therefore it will ALWAYS BE business (CORRUPTION & BIAS) as usual no matter which democrat gets the job!!! Meanwhile I personally find it hard to believe that all these elections across this state with the malfeasance of the democRATS for the last 50 (FIFTY) years and they are winning all these positions LEGITEMATELY????? The congress is worried about the Russians, oh wait they are democRATS in the house who have been pushing more BULLSHIT at the national level and getting 0 (ZERO) accomplished besides their agenda and re-election! PARDON ME AS I VOMIT AND BURN MY VOTERS CARD! Only anarchy can cure this mess!!
OH YEAH AND FUCK THE DEMOCRATS AND THE ASSHOLES WHO VOTE FOR THEM, ANY OF THEM!!!
This department can stand to cut at least 10 deputy chiefs and 15 commanders without a doubt. Maybe throw 75 do nothings out of headquarters for more than a month until then can slither back in . Then cut out 20 alderman minimum and restructure the wards accordingly. Let’s not forget the water department, parks, and streets & sanitation.... That should get the ball rolling.
She is a cog in the machine.
These clouted clowns are also connected cogs in the machine.
They paid for their spots, maybe not with money, but with favors and loyalty.
Just like Lori had to.
She isn't going to do anything, if she does, they and their sponsors will end her.
Start with that morale killing pos Lemmer.
Dump the Inspectors.
It’s just like any sports team. You don’t get rid of the team. You fire the coach! Than you rebuild the team. The problem is the leadership!
Homan Square, that is the place where people go and never come out, or are ever seen again. Supposedly some really bad stuff goes on in the depths of it's many sub basements.
The only reforming ever performed hereabouts is reforming the ways to remove more from my gross earnings.
I’ll put money on COPA writing up CL# for driving tactics, seat belts, and private cell phone use with their new two minute footage. Something to consider since they wrote up an officer they observe on video not wearing a taser.
This has always been senseless and bizarre to me. The massive salaries for all these bosses all basically doing the same thing. So much overlap and duplication and so much waste. Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs(way too many), Commanders, Captains(waste), Lts. etc. Sometimes all sitting in the same office. Why? Isn’t there a Chief of IAD, a Deputy Chief and a Commander all sitting in the same office of the 5th floor at headquarters? There’s probably even a Captain and multiple Lts in there too. All this top heavy waste. Probably all with nice take home cars using gas just to drive to work and back. Also all eventually draining our pension with their gifted Gold Braids. If Lightfoot wants to save money there’s plenty to cut on the CPD. No more take home cars for starters. Put them on the streets. I doubt anything will change. Never does for the connected.
I'm a sgt and I recently took 2 PPOs out on the street with me. They had just came out of the academy the week before. We had to do some ISRs, and they had never used the ISR application before. 6 months in our academy and they had never been instructed on how to access or use the ISR application.
Wait the summer season starting.
Wait till things really heating up.
Wait Mayor Lightfoot is going to hold Special Ed accountable.
Wait long and there will be nothing left to be accountable for.
Waiting for Chicago to flat line.
In the end I’ll retire to Mexico we’re my retirement check will hold up.
Mayor Lightfoot,
PLEASE reignite and revive the CPD by eliminating the duplicitous, double standard and untruthful Edward Johnson and Anthony Riccio, along with their cabal of corruptors. The good men and women of CPD will never respect or show up for such Untransparency and Inequality blatantly exercised from the top.
We are in this mess with the lack of leadership. Fake politicians and fake bosses.
Reform?
Not going to happen until we throw out the Chicago Democrat Machine.
NYC didn't clean itself up until they threw out the NYC Democrats and elected Republican Rudy Guiliani.
Chicago will need to do the same.
Agreed! The amount of Deputy Chiefs is mind boggling. The staff, secretaries etc they all have is unbelievable too. Many have commanders and Captains all with staff too. It’s NUTS! How about just a commander who reports to the Supt or 1st Deputy? Also, start getting rid of some of the dinosaur senseless units that all have staff and cars too. What Lightfoot needs is a patrolman who’s been around to advise her of the waste. A boss won’t be truthful because he too hopes to be a Deputy Chief with massive staffs someday. The waste is very obvious. She should see it clearly.
Yeah...
We can give y'all a double ass-pocketful
full of Chicago Police Department Reform
right here:
Make EVERY clouted gold star chimp
masquerading as a Chicago Policeman/Policewoman
re-take the State Certification Exam.
Make EVERY clouted gold star chimp
masquerading as a Chicago Policeman/Policewoman
take the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory exam.
Make EVERY clouted gold star chimp
masquerading as a Chicago Policeman/Policewoman
take the Wonderlic Exam.
Subject EVERY clouted gold star chimp
masquerading as a Chicago Policeman/Policewoman
to a series of rigorous and vigorous "In Basket"
exercises.
Subject EVERY clouted gold star chimp
masquerading as a Chicago Policeman/Policewoman
to a series of rigorous and vigorous, deliberately
unwinnable table-top exercises designed to show how
well they can manage, delegate, lead and mitigate.
We would love to see them puzzle out a real world
"Field Problem" but knowing these clouted gold star
chimps masquerading as Chicago Policemen/Policewomen
and their well deserved reputation of being wholly
able to fantastically upward-fuck a one car,
circus clown funeral as to leave the reasonable man
agape, agog (Thank You Prof. Fitz, where ever you are!)
and blinking in in utter disbelief at the upward-fuckery
he just witnessed...
And too many good Coppers would end up injured or
killed by the incompetence and idiocy of these
clouted gold star chimps if an exempt level
"Field Problem" were to go live in this city.
Thusly, a table-top would have to suffice.
Those who refuse to submit?
Retire graciously or:
They can all be sent to Bulk Storage on 39th & Michigan,
locked inside for 10 hour tours with no weapons, no radios,
no phones and let loose to be a plague and affliction only
to each other as they jockey with the crypt-keepers there
for access to the only land line where they can C/R# each
other into oblivion.
Upside?
They won't be able to inflict their misery on Policemen
who already have enough dumb-shit to deal with here at
ground level.
The ones who passed examination?
Sift them with prejudice.
Do away with exempt echelon redundancies
as clout-based payback.
Believe it or not, it is competency that should
roll downhill instead of bullshit.
Chicago's political and phony clergy alliances
will have a severe allergic reaction to competency,
ethics and morality actually taking hold and blooming
at CPD.
"We won't have Cops in our pocket anymore!
They might actually think they can take US
down if we can't keep them under our control."
Gee... Too bad...
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.
Oh, she got the wake-up call alright. She realized there is no strategy to fix all this shit and she better get it off her plate. She needed to identify a fall guy and she did it Pronto! Did anybody else see the film clip of her walking with specialEd and angling her wristwatch to catch some light so she could see the time? First of all, it shows it was way past her bedtime and she is never up that late. Second, the face of her wristwatch never before needed a dial light because she is never up that late. She has always worked banker's hours. Third, the optics of her checking her watch were terrible. It seems to show she's already about done with walking in these crazy neighborhoods after dark. She hog-tied us, but now she wants some magical strategy to fix the shootings and murders. I'm just saying, the bitch be crazy!
Lorri isn’t going to do shit. She looks clueless. We are so in trouble.
Lightfoot needs to put an immediate halt to promoting anyone to new positions. First should be eliminating the Captain/XO position. Totally unnecessary. Next, the Deputy Chief. which is possibly the most senseless position the CPD ever created. There should be a Chief then Commander then Lts. That’s it. Chief probably isn’t necessary in some circumstances either. There’s so much money to be saved and at the same time stop the gold braid drain on the pension fund. It’s all clout promotions.
No worries Aldermen Matt O’Shae will land a nice spot. Mean whilst lot of for sale signs going up. My neighbor said his wife and him are going to put there property up for sale when the school season ends. I told him I have 2 more years to get my 29 years. I need my full pension. He said he was sorry and he hopes things hold up for me and my family. I told him I will be moving to Indiana soon. I never thought things would come to this.
Her own people will attack her soon......front row seats everybody
The word MERIT should be added next to each rank listed. I wouldn’t follow the Gold Star goofs Into any situation. Just say yes boss and walk the other way.
Let’s make easy, no pension above civil service grade. The highest now is Lieutenant, bring back the civil service Captain grade (as Watch Commander). Drop all the Exempt's pensions and like magic the pension fund will be all good. Exempt’s will have a pay grade for the time served, but no pension handout.
That chart is a little misleading in all fairness. There are no Captains inside BOC. But yes, every spot until that has a Sgt and P.O.’s there.
In theory yes this is absolutely correct. But ask yourselves, do we really need the commanders secretaries out on the street??? It’s gonna be either problems or instant medical abuse. Or they will ALL try to get management day spots in whatever district they go to. They will have no clue how to do a case report because they have been inside for over 10 years and everything with them is going to be a task.. honestly, just leave them there to be useless and send new recruits who will try to learn and can fit in their uniform...
Start with the kid with no time on the job who is the supt driver. Comes strolling up to mass transit guys the other day when Lori and the Supt visited the CTA and started to try giving us orders about how stuff needs to go. He got told exactly how we are gonna do what we are gonna do.. he looked like a frightened puppy. Dickhead.
What happened to the supposed purge that was going to happen with Lightfoot demoting and getting rid of a bunch of these Exempts. I get keeping Ed on as Superintendent until the next scandal and then firing him but what about some of these jagbag Commanders that have long stayed past their welcome? I never expected her to be a decent Mayor for the police. The least she could have done is put some of these assholes whom I can't stand out to pasture which is what one would expect from a new Mayor. What a rip-off.
Everything Democrats do supports the status quo. The talk, the moan, the blame, and everything stays the same. They have overburdened every government program and resource making them completely ineffectual. Everything is the way it is for a reason. Everything is the way it is because they like it that way.
Has CAPS accomplished anything positive in this city? CAPs was bullshit from the start.
If this were the private sector - we would be out of business!
Department is the biggest joke of the country. We were once the leaders in crime fighting and technology. Now we hire consultants from other smaller departments. Management here have their heads in the sand. Most have no management skills and have been promoted beyond their ability. For me this place has just became a job. No one really cares. Squad can I get an event number?
That’s the problem, we need more management. The other issue is all the rank and file need help. Now everything is fixed. Per our new Mayor when she was sworn in as Mayor.
I feel so much better now. I’m so happy they understand what’s going on.
organizational culture take, take, and take but didn't GIVE any sweat equity to deserve their position of rank........
How is it that an Alderman can have a Federal Indictment and still be allowed to vote at council meetings. Shouldn’t the Mayor and Council send him to some type of Aldermen callback or impeach him. If it were one of us we would be suspended without pay. Must be nice to be an Aldermen and it must be nice to be Burk. He had to give up jos guns per Court order and they restricted us travel.
How bout the ones that were deputy chiefs of a district. Wtf is that? That’s a commander getting paid as a deputy chief ... for what? Why?
Want real reform?
Cut the number of 50 aldermen down to 23. The same as the number of police districts
No need for a remap of wards.
Yesterday at the awards lunch everyone’s eyes kind of glazed over as Lori was talking. She’s really not very good, is she.
Ot
That shithead that just got charged with murder of that "innocent" 4ch mom "shielding" her baby, was on parole, sentenced 10yrs idoc in 2013, classx dope charge. And that's not even the best part. He was sentenced to 16yrs in 2004 for murder hahahaha. And 3yrs idoc for agg batt firearm b4 that. And another gun charge after that. Etc etc etc. Remember, cops are the problem folks.
Only in Shitcago.
I have stopped caring about police work years ago. It amazes me every day that there are comments on this blog when something happens that police work is over. It’s been over for years. I don’t care if they told us we can go out there and do anything to curb the crime and we got you covered. I don’t care! Until their real reason for crime is discussed I don’t give a hoot. The community doesn’t care and I will definitely not stick my neck out to care. It’s pointless to rant and rave about the job. It is driven by politics not the rule of law. Who the hell wants to work in that environment. Stop the whining and do the minimum. You’ll be lot less stressed out.
We don’t need deputy chiefs and chiefs.
The more exempts we have, the more tickets they buy to events held by their political sponsors.Ergo, the more money the Pols rake in. That's the way it's been, is, and always will be.

——————————————————————————————————————-
FAKE NEWS!! Stop lying you troll. COPA doesn’t have the authority to write up POs as all they do is offer suggestions for discipline but can’t actually issue it. Now go finish your cereal in your momma’s basement.
The first thing that needs to be removed is IAD!
As long as the Department has a Unit like IAD, there will be cover ups!
They have structured this IAD to take all complaints regarding misconduct by command officers?
The investigation is then controlled by other command officers and those trying for promotion!
The complaints are being closed with little to no investigations and no disciplinary actions?
The idea and premise of IAD is to perform impartial investigations but with control and input from others
the investigations are being fabricated to remove any misconduct!
When you see history of complaints regarding Department members above Lieutenant rank with status of closed unfounded,
Only to be back with further CR investigations with no findings?
Once they are Captains or Commanders the CR is never investigated!
Just look at the history and look at the pattern
Family and Friends promotion program is UP way UP
Officer morale is DOWN rock bottom down
We have a department full of supervisors who can
care less about the once so called “backbone” of. CPD
What changed ? LEADERSHIP
We have no more leaders,, we do have LIARS and Exam Cheaters
Bosses who are part of the same circle of friends who ONLY
promote the connected people. So many things wrong with CPD !!
In theory yes this is absolutely correct. But ask yourselves, do we really need the commanders secretaries out on the street??? It’s gonna be either problems or instant medical abuse.

Well then IT’S TIME for them to learn. Leave them where they are. SCREW THAT! Get your a**’es out there like my 23 years on the job old female a** hon!
I’m guessing Lightfoot is ok with a Superintendent who is
to blame for destroying this Department since taking the Top
Spot that he says he didn’t want or applied for.
So what does he do when given the top spot ? He begins to
promote incompetent people like his girlfriend (what a joke)
and has promoted many not by their qualifications or competence
but by the color of their skin (African Americans) essentially
destroying the Chicago Police Department to the disgrace it is today.
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. CPD, employment agency for the clouted. Just like Streets and Sanitation, Water Department, Park District, etc, etc, etc.
A lot of tighty whities would be bunched up.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Every time Rahm had a tearful ‘outraged’ press conference after a mass weekend shoot-up, he always had the same collection of black chiefs with tons of gold on their caps. If this gang of know it alls are so bright, why aren’t they out in the hoods telling their peoples to behave?!?
The current state of the department and city hall management are only a symptom of a larger problem that exists across America. Extreme leftist liberal ideology. You can be sure that the founding fathers are spinning in their graves like a rotisserie. These leftist pukes want to shove their warped narcissist sociopathic ideas on everyone especially all the college kids whose minds are as flexible as mashed potatoes. A line has to be drawn.
Look at Capital Hill. Those morons are trying to destroy this country from within. It won't take the chi-coms and cheap sneakers. nope, it will only take assholes like AOC, Nadler , Pelosi, Waters , Etc.. to convince the un-informed that America is baaad.
Vote people!
We need more of them not less. Asst Chiefs, Asst Deputy Chiefs, 1st Asst Deputy Chiefs, etc. That way you have more people trying to do a great job so they get promoted to a higher rank. Or Not.
Yes, in the private sector our bosses (fools) would be out of a job!
In baseball, managers are dumped when their teams don’t succeed.
In CPD, the less you do, if you don’t succeed you get promoted to a higher rank?
Wake the f@cK up Mayor
There is too much bitching and moaning about this boss that boss. Start paying attention to contract negotiations, pensions and healthcare. Start putting heat on kevin graham otherwise he will fuck this up just like he fucks up everything else he is involved in.
You wrapped it up nicely SCC..... going from 6 deputy chiefs to 18.
That’s insanity and definitely makes CPD very top heavy.
Then when you factor in they all have bloated staffs full of house mice it becomes even more egregious.
When Obama got elected Pres, and his chief of staff came here to run for Mayor- all these merit promotions began.
Layer upon layer -merit once, merit twice, merit three times......some perhaps very nice men/women, but incapable of learning the
Rules and Regs enough to pass the tests. And so began the decline of institutional knowledge, right along with gaining gold-braid salaries and pensions. The department is way too top heavy - too costly, too much inside personnel, redundancy at its finest.
But the biggest problem is that it is not effective, not at all. No amount of upper echelon merit management is going to fix the problems Chicago has. They don't know HOW!
Rahms stats: 15,000 SHOT. 3,500 DEAD. And by whom? And where at?
Maybe the current mayor can get her head out of her liberal ass and take charge. ALL 50 wards voted her in. Maybe that should be her first clue. It ain't "poverty driven". There is more money in the "community" than in most "better" neighborhoods. It's just all illegal money being trickled down in the "community" so they keep their mouths shut, while the gang and drug controlled cartels just keep doing their thing. Buckle up, Lori......it ain't gonna be pretty.

Lori is a one term Mayor Anna Valencia will be Mayor in 4 years bank on it. She is the choice of the machine but needed some seasoning and to have more name recognition.
This is the first and probably the last time i will write tjis but mope rah actually wrote a good column today. Check it out
Why doesn’t the person in charge of the Marine Unit have a title like Rear Admiral or something. A connected person of course.
Hey everybody! Would you give the new Mayor time to get anchored in the job before you write her off?? She was only sworn in a week ago! I mean, really! Take a few slow deep breaths and realize she doesn't know the details like some of you do, and needs TIME to assimilate the reality of CPD.
Some of you have thrown her under the bus faster than your bosses did it to the rank and file.
Currently CPD = CRONYISM PROMULGATED DEPARTMENT. Just connect the dots.
AMBER ALERT: Jessie Smollett
Chicago Police promise release of paperwork on case
later today.
FOR SALE: Brooklyn Bridge, used, condition fair.
Inquire at SCC. Serious inquiries only.
How about she stop the bosses from paying around the promotional tests around?
Bring back OW Wilson.
Lets not forget the cost of the office, furniture, upkeep. take home car. Phones.and expense accounts. It all ads up. And while we are at it, let not forget the fire department, and especially OEMC as a huge waste.
Bring back real street deputies!
Message to Lori.......You shall reap what you sow.
What was wrong with the old system where there was an ADS for each bureau reporting to the first deputy, then a chief with a deputy chief over each area reporting to him? Commanders reported to the deputy chief and there was a supervisor for each watch, either a captain or lieutenant.
REFORM IS HERE!!!!! Believe it folks. Yes that’s right, they finally power washed the human shit in the staircase at 26/Cal. A change is a comin’
Bring in an Army General to clean house

Most haven’t been on for 10 years , so we just go on adding more. Hire 500 more and 100 hit the front office of districts and units or “special assignments”. Great plan

Exactly! This would never occur in the private sector because the business would fail. A business wouldn’t even consider this. Here in Chicago the reason we are so enormous at the top is because of decades of political clout, neapotism, chronyism, and corruption. Promotions and ghost spots have been created for friends. Lightfoot could easily save tons of $$$ by simply eliminating the waste at the top and get rid of all the senseless units. Right there district level manpower could be instantly increased. Also, imagine how much money could be saved on vehicles coming from those units along with all the new take home cars? Millions could be saved easily just by a simple fix.

I would just like to point out that she took office 10 days ago. Hopefully she’ll see the waste on the CPD. It’s as obvious as the sunrise. We’ve all known this for years. Way too many units and brass.
Policing is dead.
SpecialEd is nothing more than a failed community organizer and has the Dan Ryan as his sole accomplishment.
Very weak leader even for LightLoafer’s standard. Needs a bigger mouthpiece in charge.

Absolutely agree. The highest pension should ONLY be the last testable rank which is Lt. Captain is not testable and is merit based which is based on friendships. The gold braid pension is a huge drain on the pension fund. If someone is lucky enough to have their friends promote them to Capt, Commander, or higher, well, then they are very lucky and have a heafty salary for those years. Upon retirement they drawn a Lts pension which is still very nice and should consider themselves blessed. Lightfoot has so much she can easily fix.

Nothing will change until she puts an outsider in charge who’s not connected to all these bosses who promote each other.

Nothing we haven't seen before. What do you expect from a politician?
She a political animal who acts on her political instinct!
Of course she doesn't care about the police. Her instinct tells her pander to the masses / community which will get her re-elected.
Police have no voice in the political arena because most cops are too selfish and too lazy to vote!
So many division in this department. So much bickering. So many distractions. So many alibis.
We need to start fixing things which are under our control.
We Are All Replaceable
lots of good ideas on department reform are floated on this blog. But, nothing will be taken seriously unless the mayor and her staff want it done. I believe that clout and influence will remain as the department guiding light. The mayor changed the committee chairmanships in the city counsel, added three new committees, all to put her folks in place and satisfy her supporters. So, far, as I can see it, it is just a changing of the guard. The mayor wants the civilian review board which will oversee the police board and the superintendent and hire and fire all of them. I think once that ordinance is passed and in place and the Summer is over, Johnson will be out and the new civilian board will select the new superintendent. If the liberals really think that any of this will have a dramatic effect on crime, they are not only dreaming but smoking some stuff.
The mayor, once she sees all of the gold braid leaders with their multiple rows of campaign ribbons,, will realize that they must be super stars, they really did get promoted on merit and there is no way she can demote them.
The CPD chain of command has all the earmarks of the kind of fat that you find in the military. There are way too many generals in all of the branch services, and they only seem to increase over time. When there have been RIFs at various points during the previous decades, the only positions and that never seem to get downsized are those of general officers.
Too many chiefs and not enough indians is never a good sign.
It's a new era, Welcome to Lightland. Act accordingly.
Not all bureaus are like that
(OT) just retired Cpd, looking at place to relocate thinking about Tennessee Knoxville area any advice? Like taxes,quality of life,crime etc?
Thank you.
The orchestrated game we saw Burke playing with the Mayor Lightfoot yesterday is just the beginning. A little bird whispered the Burke’s have the unflattering recordings on everybody including...Barry Sotero. It seems Barry when around all men of color has an even worse opinion of white men than his mentor Rev Wright. As the noose tightens on Burke things could get very very interesting. The same people who called off the dogs after Blago went down are about to release them and the “Swamp” is going to start draining. You have to remember when it’s comes to Chicago’s Swamp Ed has the muddy water contract.
That organizational chart is insane!
No business or Army unit would have that many levels of supervision/management with just one person above and below.
First step - and, sadly, a step Lightfoot will never take - is to eliminate all levels of management that have less than three people reporting to them (excluding their “staff”). CPD management is beyond bloated - it’s into some fourth dimension of bloat that can’t be grasped without higher mathematics.
Makes sense to me...clear the FAT out! A captain should answer to a commander, who answers to a to the Chief. No Deputy chiefs, etc...especially with a staff of suck asses at each level. Commanders only need a secretary (Maybe two), and not a complete staff. Many of these people work half a week, or half a day at best.
The reason we have all this bloat is because of so many merit selections. They don't want to go to patrol, and cry until an inside spot is made for them. Then they start sucking up for their next merit selection.
It should be, one merit selection per career. The system is broken and abused. FOP/Sgt's assoc/Lt. assoc....where are you on this? (Crickets...cheep-cheep)
That’s definitely not happening in our district (as pointed out by SCC). Our CAPT and CMDR have the same office staff.
The only reform the CPD will see is a further neutering of and police powers and tactics. They want the criminals to have free reign in Chicago. CCW is the only protection the citizens will have. Got yours yet? Better get one while you can.
Training we don't need no stinking training.
Sorry but 90% of Captains I worked for were useless.

Diamond Dave looks at O.T. as a junkie looks at heroin: too much is never enough.
He thinks he’s really slick.
A forensic audit would nail him to the wall.
What a joke this department is! The Commander of Rahm’s detail (who is a PO with less than or about 15 years) has been saved/hidden & sent to OEMC (where there is no one to Command). How in gods name is someone with 15 years, who has never done a true piece of police work AND who has a long career left get hidden at OEMC. How about you send him to 002, 003, 007, 011 etc. and let him lead by example. ENOUGH ALREADY!!
Jussie Smollett here, don't ya be talkin' 'bout me.
I got what ya call friends.
I just MAY be your next mayor. So ya'll respect me!
Can someone PLEASE explain how a CPD Lt. under investigation for multiple incidents both on and off duty, is allowed to take a department approved LEAVE OF ABSENCE to go be the chief of a suburban department?

Want real reform?
Cut the number of 50 aldermen down to 23. The same as the number of police districts ⁸
No need for a remap
of wards.
I love this simple idea to a long standing problem. Hope you dont mind me stealing it for the next city hall speech.

"Hey everybody! Would you give the new Mayor time to get anchored in the job
before you write her off??"
~Snip!~
5/30/2019 09:25:00 AM
The HELL you say?
Give her time?
Why the fuck are you here on THIS blog pleading time
for Madame Mayor?
Wouldn't your appeal to "Give her time" have a much broader
audience if you called a news conference and appealed
instead to the armed wing of "The Community" bka Dude Inc.?
Or is it that you liberals/progressives fear Dude Inc.
much much more than you're able to feign respect for
The Police and the nigh near impossible job they're
tasked with while having one hand gleefully tied behind
their backs by you and your ilk?
Just awaiting the day when a Dude Inc. scouting party
actually crashes a flaming ghetto flyer through one of
you high order nitwits front door at 3am because you
strayed from script and DARED to taunt and shit-talk
THEM the same way you white-guilt addled liberal democrat
progressives and nasty-assed perpetual grievants taunt
and shit-talk The Police.
Lori Lightfoot blew into office on the winds of
"The Police are what's wrong with Chicago/
The Police are racist, violent and are killing
and falsely incarcerating every black/brown
and other oppressed minority person they see."
It's hypocrisy in the highest when you call
to give HER time and she wasted NO TIME hewing
to the hateful and patently false narration
about The Police.
Lori Lightfoot had EVERY opportunity to roundly
REFUTE that hateful and patently false narration
about The Police but in true self-interested
politician fashion, she opted not to do so.
Hell... She could've even taken a stand by
saying such hateful rhetoric is very unhelpful
during this time of violent criminal crisis in this city
and that cooler heads should be allowed to prevail.
But?
No...
The Police are the enemy and provide welcome diversion
from rather uncomfortable truths being told about who
Chicago's real problems are.
The armed wing of the catered-to Chicago Democratic
Liberal/Slave Plantation constituency known as Dude Inc.
is rahter enjoying getting their asses kissed by the mayor,
the city council and the media.
Especially all the visual noise and auditory clutter
about more funds, grants, programs/diversionary breads,
circuses and the like.
May a man with funny colored hair, big shoes and a big
red nose twist you up an unidentifiable balloon critter
in tribute...
As for The Police?
Everybody is lined up to give the Police a backhand
slap across their front teeth for being The Police.
So pardon us if we're feeling a little less than charitable
about giving Madame Mayor "time" considering the narrative
she walked into the door with.
Consider this a friendly warning to Madame Mayor,
her "Federal Partners" and her smarter-than-thou-by-far
staffers...
When you and yours are FOOLISH ENOUGH to cast The Police
as the enemy, and you deliberately drive The Police to
holding church under a bushel basket because of prevailing,
unchecked and erroneous belief in a false narrative, do
not act surprised by who/what becomes enabled/empowered
to occupy that slot in the societal hierarchy you joyfully
shoved The Police out of.
And do not act surprised when who/what begins to feel
emboldened and empowered to dictate very uneven terms
of YOUR accommodation/capitulation in THEIR favor.
Happening right now...
Everywhere in this city.
"YAY! Victory over The Police!
We reformed them into a corner!"
Tick.
M/Fing...
Tock.
Time's up.
Shit's on, hot, poppin'
and REAL like a motherfucker
out here at ground level.
The Police will continue to:
Look. Laugh. Leave.
Or for you nasty smart-asses at City Hall
and all the local media hidey-holes?
Vide. Rideat. Relinquam.
Back of the yards fest this weekend swat is even going to be there extra coppers private security over under shot/killed? Commander of 009 said absolutely no conflicts going on. Is he also selling that bridge?
The death of common sense in America.
(There will be no viewing)
In my day, if you needed extra money, you went out and
found a part time job. You served the needs of your
employer: nights, weekends, holidays.
Nowadays it's called a side hustle. Not only that, Millennials
have to call a syndicated financial radio guy to have that news
broken to them. The radio guy just happens to have sponsors
who sell real estate, insurance, mutual funds, retirement plans.
Imagine that!
You owe tons of student loans, you're a doctor or nurse, dentist.
The radio guy suggests you work extra hours to earn extra money
to pay down that debt.
Chief=1 person
Assistant Chief=head of bureaus
Captain=head of units/districts
Lt=watch commander-no need for a field LT
Sgt
Police Officer 3= based on years of service education, and training: if none of the above on are scene they assume command
Police Officer 2= based on years of service education, and training: if none of the above on are scene they assume command
Police Officer 1= based on years of service education , and training: if none of the above on are scene they assume command
Eliminate the rank of commander it overlaps and it's too close with the rank of captain.
By eliminating commander and reducing the Captain ranks , it frees up more money for Sgt, PO 3, PO 2, PO 1 and gives the patrolman an easier chance to move up in rank and helps restore moral.
Also the rank of 1st Deputy Supt. is a meaningless rank of patronage. No need for it. If the Chief is gone then the Assistant Chief with the most seniority assumes command.
Be glad that Bobby Three Sticks never gets involved
in this Chicago shit. When I heard the name, I thought
he was a fictional gangster, like from The Sopranos.
Boy, was I wrong.

Don’t forget about his own take home marked squad car.
ld. Edward M. Burke was charged Thursday with racketeering in a wide-ranging 59-page indictment, which contains the most details yet of the alleged trail of corruption left by one of the most powerful politicians in the city.
Among the new charges in the indictment, Burke is accused of shaking down the developer of the Old Post Office development for legal work and attempting to derail a proposed admission fee increase by the Field Museum, because it was not responding to his inquiry regarding a job for the child of a Burke acquaintance, former Ald. Terry Gabinski.
A top Burke political aide, Peter J. Andrews, was also criminally charged for allegedly helping Burke.
The main charge that Burke faces, racketeering, is stunning, given that it was created to combat mobsters and organized crime, and the racketeering criminal enterprise named in the indictment is the government of the City of Chicago itself.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot demanded Burke resign immediately in a statement released Thursday night.
“Given the serious criminal liability he faces, Ald. Burke can no longer continue to do his job honorably or effectively,” Lightfoot said.
For the first time, the indictment details conversations secretly recorded by then-Ald. Danny Solis, who the Sun-Times first reported had been cooperating with the feds for two
great job queen lori I don't agree with you on everything but putting this arrogant j-goff in his place was the right thing to do, now check into all eddie burke 11th n 19th ward merit promotions that he stoled from us non clouted afgan n Iraq cpd vets

ALL governmental agencies of the uniparty are hog pens filled with abundant ravenous hogs.
NO agency is ever not packed to the maximum quantity of hogs possible.
Maximum quantity is always adjusted up, aka, more, and never willingly adjusted down, aka, less.
The quality remains the same, aka feeding at the hog trough.
We, the payers of the taxes, are the slop that overflows the hog trough.
They, the hogs, are never fully bloated with our taxes, as they shit out at a greater pace than they snout in.
I need now to toss back a double shot of jack.
To borrow an old Chicago term Lori is being set up to “Wear the Jacket” and the flood of problems blamed on her. The Machines new star is Anna Valencia and the she will walk into the office in 4 years.
"If I could only live to see it, to be there with you. What I wouldn't give for twenty more years! Here we are, protected, free to make our profits without Kefauver, the goddamn Justice Department and the F.B.I. ninety miles away, in partnership with a friendly government. Ninety miles! It's nothing! Just one small step, looking for a man who wants to be President of the United States, and having the cash to make it possible. Michael, we're bigger than U.S. Steel." ―Hyman Roth to Michael Corleone[src]

Bullshit. Bull f-ing shit. You’ve been playing these little word games and getting the goat roapers going for the last year and a half with this crap. You know it isn’t true, and if it were, would you be the guy with the access to spill the beans? Give us all a break. You’re as annoying as the guy who jumps on right when posts are logged at midnight, then makes 30 comments with the word DemoRat in it.
Restructure Lemmer lol
Please Allow Me To Point Out The Facts, You All Fail To Mention. The Percentage Of Voters That Turned Out To Elect The New Mayor Was Horribly Low. I Think The Figure Was Thirty Three Percent. That Tells Me, That The Majority Of The People Of Chicago "Don't Care, What The Major Does, of Does Not Do.
Your Feedback Is Welcome.
PS: Have A Nice Day ?
Hey, 6:04 A.M. there have been only 22 districts since 13 closed when was that? 5 years ago?
STATE News:
"Heads" up: if the marijuana bill passes, it will become legal
in January 2020. Illinois will be 11th state to legalize.
Let's hope 2020 is a very cold winter. They'll fire up, order
pizza, and be to fat to run away by summer.
Need to add a Deputy Commander, like an Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager.
Layers are meant to buffer higher-ups.
Shit I remember when there were three captians in each district and there were 25 districts. Wasnt a bad gig if you could get it. All the XO crap is from the New York asshole and it needs to be eliminated. Let the Captians run the watches. Twe lieutenants per watch to fill in during the Capts RDOs. One field lieutenant. Go back to the way it was. Each D/C, ADS, Commander gets ONE PO for their "staff". Thats it.

When Obama got elected Pres, and his chief of staff came here to run for Mayor- all these merit promotions began.
Layer upon layer -merit once, merit twice, merit three times......some perhaps very nice men/women, but incapable of learning the
Rules and Regs enough to pass the tests. And so began the decline of institutional knowledge, right along with gaining gold-braid salaries and pensions. The department is way too top heavy - too costly, too much inside personnel, redundancy at its finest.
But the biggest problem is that it is not effective, not at all. No amount of upper echelon merit management is going to fix the problems Chicago has. They don't know HOW!
Rahms stats: 15,000 SHOT. 3,500 DEAD. And by whom? And where at?
Maybe the current mayor can get her head out of her liberal ass and take charge. ALL 50 wards voted her in. Maybe that should be her first clue. It ain't "poverty driven". There is more money in the "community" than in most "better" neighborhoods. It's just all illegal money being trickled down in the "community" so they keep their mouths shut, while the gang and drug controlled cartels just keep doing their thing. Buckle up, Lori......it ain't gonna be pretty.

Dope is the underground economy of the Community. Historically to present day it is aided and abetted in the Community. From President Johnson's "Great Society" and the Presidential Commission report on "The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society" (late 1960's) dope, in it's many forms, is well documented. Dope has been discussed and debated, we spent uncalculable millions of tax payer dollars fighting and preventing its illegal use, we declared a War on Drugs, and now the fat tax cheat is going to legalize it. The dope problem was then, as it is now, well ensconced in the Community. It is a thriving well structured, well organized business with rules of engagement, chain of command, discipline and multiple robust foreign distribution centers (e.g., Mexico, China, etc.). They get huge profits and we get the body count, the shootings, maiming, overdoses and related criminal activity and, of course, the victims of crime.
Enter the Reformer. She keeps Special Ed and his staff of Clowns, disband the Narcotics Unit instead re-staffing, reorganizing, and enhance its mission capability. Allow screwball Staff mismanagement having negative impacting on routine policing, Consent Decree, No Contract, institute frivolous reports, add layers of Soviet styled police review boards, incompetent supervisory rank structure, wasteful OT spending and so on. Most importantly you do not let the police do their job. You inherited a giant hot mess with your Police Department. You don't want reform. You want the ILLUSION of REFORM. It's the Chicago Way.
Add the Ass Hat Kim Foxx, the corrupt court system, inadequate Sheriff's monitoring programs, revrunds, and democratic socialist philosophy (and dope legalization) is taking you and the city into disaster and ruin.
If you want help reduce crime in this city, ask for help and we can work together. You have got a very talented police force with smart leaders in the waiting, unfortunately they are not running the Department. You kept those current dolts around to run the Dept. That's on you. If you continue to be stuck on stupid you're going to have many more bad days than happy ones.
We don't trust you based on your recent actions and words. It's hard to build trust and easy to tear down. Start working on building trust with your Department. You do it everyday with, and for the Community. Why aren't you building trust with us. We wait and watch.
ISR is a bunch of bull shit. Thank you ACLU for implicating this shit.
What does the Staff Do?
Did they go to Army Command and Staff College?
More Brass than The Pentagon
Horatius The Roman Blue Shirt
Each D/C, ADS, Commander gets ONE PO for their "staff". Thats it
Maybe they should have gone to CGSC Ft. Leavenworth
Does the Staff even know what to do? Take care of their buds while theyre out golfing
Only one exempt is necessary, the Superintendent.
Captains can be upper command staff
Lieutenants can run all Districts and Units
Perk will be hours , days , 1/3 will be RDO FS , 1/3 SS and 1/3 SM
Take turns covering 1st and third watch as Street Supervisors
Inspection Division should be manned by Sergeants , perk is the car , adjusting work hours , require ten years in sergeant rank to apply .
Cut the fat from top is one sure way to save pension .
Ms. mayor , look at exempt ranks , majority are merit all the way , unacceptable, you earned your law degree , require supervisors to pass a test . Better get moving . Jodi Weiss cleaned house , but you need to end made up ranks , Now .
Such an over kill
Why are there 2 tact secretaries in each districts?
Why are there so many people CAPS
I was skimming through the comments and I ran across the term "Rear Admiral". Then I found out that it wasn't true.
First the excitement, then the disappointment.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
I haven't been to Knoxville in a number of years, but last time I was there, the Cubs had a AA team called the Tennessee Smokies. There was a ski resort in Gatlinburg. Don't forget about Dollywood!
ISR, crime about to be committed ,crime was committed ,or is being committed. What the fuck ACLU. If crime is committed and offender is on the scene,its an ARREST. What a fuck'n JOKE !

Again, my guess, because it is possible in this dept that there are many more individuals receiving similar preferential treatment

So?
A lot of coppers do "real police work". Writing and executing search warrants, conducting and documenting investigation, arresting felons and sending them to the penitentiary. Or the morgue if needed.
They don't the fat plate of Commander's pay. They get a 9161 or 9165 paycheck. Its called "DOING THE JOB,!

-Former LIEtenant eddie winters. Apparently he took a LOA to take the job of chief of the upstanding HARVEY police department, and has VERY recently and VERY QUIETLY "retired". With several open CRs, but a bunch of clout that led him to two merit promotions and acceptance into a master's degree program that he could NEVER get into on his own, I'm sure he got his retirement id and star - even though the miserable unclouted peons wouldn't be able to with all those CRs and investigations that are still open. Harvey PD will get exactly what they deserve. Maybe that's their punishment from the feds for all the recent charges against the former chief and a bunch of their POs.
Different rules for different people.

What happened to the supposed purge that was going to happen with Lightfoot demoting and getting rid of a bunch of these Exempts. I get keeping Ed on as Superintendent until the next scandal and then firing him but what about some of these jagbag Commanders that have long stayed past their welcome? I never expected her to be a decent Mayor for the police. The least she could have done is put some of these assholes whom I can't stand out to pasture which is what one would expect from a new Mayor. What a rip-off.

Nothing will change until she puts an outsider in charge who’s not connected to all these bosses who promote each other.

Thank you. It needed to be said and you, SCC, did a good job. We are way too top heavy.

I'm a sgt and I recently took 2 PPOs out on the street with me. They had just came out of the academy the week before. We had to do some ISRs, and they had never used the ISR application before. 6 months in our academy and they had never been instructed on how to access or use the ISR application
————
Not once did they instruct recruits on how to use the clearer system.
