CAPS Vampire Rises Again!
All this program ever did is hide hundreds of cops from street duty, enrich a selected few with questionable overtime and and generate untrackable expenditures to connected persons. And now it's back?
- Two years ago, an advisory committee created by Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson proposed a top-to-bottom overhaul of a community policing program allowed to wither and die because of inadequate training, insufficient funding and incessant bureaucratic shuffling.
Johnson did follow through on the committee’s recommendation to appoint Dwayne Betts as deputy chief for community policing reporting directly to the superintendent.
But little progress has been made on other changes, including: training officers in “cultural diversity and competency, active listening and effective community engagement tactics”; creating a citywide Youth Advisory Council and similar councils in each of the 22 districts; and giving each district an unspecified number of officers and civilians devoted exclusively to community policing.
And this?
- The first meeting will concentrate on creating “opportunities for positive engagement” and on making certain local businesses know the “expectations” of area residents.
He talked about increased foot patrols, more frequent visits to local businesses and encouraging partnerships between residents, businesses and police. Each liaison officer will have a cell phone businesses can call at any time.
The second monthly meeting will deal exclusively with “violence deterrence.”
If there are problem businesses with a spike in criminal activity, police liaisons will work with those businesses to develop a corrective safety plan, Betts said.
"opportunities for positive engagement" means "don't prosecute shoplifters."
And "violence deterrence" because legit businesses are the biggest drivers of violence.
Someone please stop the stupid.

CAPS WORKS!
What libtard came up with this gem? CAPS is like that soap opera villain that seems to die every time, only to come back, again and again.
"If there are problem businesses with a spike in criminal activity, police liaisons will work with those businesses to develop a corrective safety plan, Betts said."
If there are businesses running criminal enterprises you lock their asses up and move to revoke their licenses. A corrective safety plan? What liberal loon thought that up?
Once again...a load of horseshit. None of this, NOTHING is going to amount to shit. Positive interactions and all that crap. When you arrest people on gun charges time and time again...and they get released time and time again, nothing is going to change in the killing fields Jesus the simplicity of it is overwhelming.
All cops wear CAPS
“opportunities for positive engagement” = Put 'em in jail
024 has a caps officer with 2 years on. what offers do guys with 10-15 years get?
"opportunities for positive engagement" means "don't prosecute shoplifters."
Tried this back in 006 a ton of years ago, and got into a smack down with asshole. Some people just want to go jail one way or another.
"CAPS Vampire Rises Again!"
-The Evil Dead?-
Al Nagode! Caps guy in 019 of all places and now a deputy chief. Enough said!
At this present moment in time, as we speak, moving forward in a forwardly direction. I have more questions than answers. I thought poverty was the biggest driver of violence? Now it's businesses?
Lori has a lot of people to pay off for electing her. CAPS can be a great place to run the money through.
Lightfoof will make it mandatory that all private business owners will be mandated for a requirement diversity training program. If you own a bike shop that continues to be smash and grabbed, you learn be required to feel sympathy for these poor souls who need these expensive bikes to find some work. If your Qwik Mart always gets ransacked by ‘kids,’ your program will put yourself in their stolen hi-tops and see that they ain’t got no food at home, so that box of Snicker bars they ran out the door with will probably feed the shoplifter’s entire building. What you lose in stolen property will be rewarded to you in heaven...
What’s old is new! They can’t come up with shit! They will run the few businesses that are left out of business!
If I’m reading this correctly, the assumption in the plan is that somehow the police and local business owners are responsible for the crime in “the communitay,” and if the police and business owners would just behave differently, crime would go away.
If I were a business owner in “the communitay” and was approached by police telling me that my losses from shoplifting, vandalism, flash mobs, etc, was MY fault and I need to behave differently, I’d be fixing to move to the suburbs QUICK!
Although this is very typical of the leftist “diversity” training I was forced to sit through every year at work before I retired. The first thing the “facilitators” did was make us self-identify as being part of an ethnic group other than white American. If you insisted your ethnicity was white American they would refer to you as a European during the training. The overall message of the programs was “Black people are going to behave like black people and the rest of us just have to understand this and not expect or demand that they behave otherwise. Instead we have to change our rules and expectations to allow for behavior we find unacceptable.”
Chicago used to have business liaisons they were called “bag men” and the program was called the “hundred a month club”. Paddy was right. “Chicago ain’t ready for reform”.
Sitting in an office with shorts and flip-flops on is not police work. Oh yeah that’s gonna change.
One of the first things they should do it eliminate the civilian component, the CAPS Implementation Office which in case you don't know, is an office downtown which is staffed by civilians. It's just a vehicle to employ the otherwise unemployable and to hide all the money the CAPS Office receives such as the Allstate grant each district used to receive. That would be a start in the right direction.

Used to be that the district business liaison officer or sgt. was the commander’s bag man. He got whatever the commander could get...
All spots in CAPS should be a bid spot given to the most senior officers in that unit who bid for the spot. The SDSC room should also be the same. All you slick sleeve crybabies can go back to a beat car and work midnites, no more sitting around playing grab ass in the caps or sdsc office. Signed: old crusty salty star and a bar.
I will sign up for the pink unicorns and dandy lions training.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
And the program needs a deputy chief and undoubtedly the usual staff loaded with house mice?
I was dumped out of CAPS for making arrests. Gave the program a bad name. And businesses, they know it’s all bullshit.
What businesses are in 011, 015??? Sharks??? Chip and wildwood shops running illegal LINK scams? There’s nothing in these districts. This is ridiculous.
Sounds like the rhetoric coming from that over-paid, made up position for Robin R.
Call the business liaison officer at any time you have a problem.
Business liaison officer receives call at midnight on Sunday and says I will handle the problem on Monday.
First thing business liaison officer does on Monday is fill out an overtime slip for the midnight call.
I think every "corrective safety plan" should start with hand cuffs.
More smoke and mirrors to cover up the fact that she has no plan to curb the violent criminal activities and now will have businesses to blame along with the police when it blows up. Her only reason for this is to have another place to point fingers at when the community keeps doing what the community is doing. Poverty, police and now businesses are not he scapegoats for her failed policies. She is running out of others to charge, maybe teachers and churches next who knows. Or possibly the little trolls living on lower Wicker Drive.
Rewarding another political hack who has never passed a test or been on the streets BETTS!
Only reason BETTS got this position is because him and the superintendent were partners back in the day,drinking/patrol....Just listen to Betts speak,sounds just like eddie....
Betts... Lt to Deputy Chief under Eddie. Must be nice to have your college roommate make Sup
So you want caps to pander to the group driving the violent crime in the city, state and country. Check, that makes a lot of sense.
Yay CAPS........I love it when they have pizza at them there beet meatings! Sign me up....
The caps office does the all the legwork for the alderman. The phone rings and the district commander “springs into action”. Listen... 99% of hardcore criminals can’t be saved. They get locked up and released again and again for violet crimes. They have chosen a jail or death lifestyle/deathstyle. All of these liberal utopian ideas have been tried and continued to fail. Keep violent criminals in jail. The resurrection of caps won’t work. Hardcore criminals don’t live by rules and laws. The city spends a lot of money on people that don’t want to be saved...while ignoring the people who just want to be safe.

That’s nothing, in 11th they pulled female on probation to caps, she walks around want even acknowledge anyone anymore. But her mom is a Lieutenant somewhere, so go figure.
More coopers not having to be in a squad car which they were hired for ! Bosses taking care of their friends to keep off streets . Less man power lower morale from this period .
The copyright must have expired on the Together We Can policy manual.
My City - My Community.
Dust off those Beat Plans, Intra-Dept Support Service Requests, Beat Meetings, Jungle Gyms and don’t forget the ICAM.
The obama 21st Century Task Force Fiasco hasn’t even warmed up yet and we’re going back to a 20 year old failed program.
Invest in the community and big things will come.
Why didn’t they try that 50 years ago?
Folks are about to take notice that they elected a top tier US Federal Asst. Prosecutor - who doesn't know a thing about law and order or how to apply the letter of the law. Too much time shuffling briefs and not enough time spent reading them.
Clueless idiot in charge, too into her accomplishment to know she was just bamboozled by a man that never passed a two-part exam.
CAPS makes everything better.
Just ask a house mouse (0800-1600, Mon-Fri. S/S by appointment).
When will the CAPS Office examination applications be announced?
Study group?
Hmmmm?

I’m sure that spot was destined and promised before the officer started the academy. And what do the beat guys get?
Hope they model it on the Central Business District Business Liaison Office (white shirt plus staff)---because they exemplify happy collaboration between business and police , arrest are made, crime gets prosecuted , problem locations get identified and addressed.....oh wait, that doesn't happen ----citizens get raped robbed and beaten...stores suffer losses without any justice....and thugs troll up and down the boulevard shooting each other (from from their own homes).
community policing Program ... it’s only keeping police out of squad cars. This is about keeping the connected few off the street . Sad more police working inside NOT working in squad cars. This is great for morale for the working police. MORE police are inside more then ever someone should look into every district but that’s not happening . All about keeping favorites off street .
I recall about 15 years ago, NYPD had officers check every business in their precincts for licenses and just plain looking around. It seems they made many arrests, found criminal activity at many of these businesses with a resulting drop in the crime rate. Maybe the CPD, which seems to copy what other departments are doing, might try that approach.
Great. More clouted house mice working half tours running errands doing nothing. More ghost payroll.
"Programs" are a license to steal and reward trusted minions. Blasio's uneelected wife stole $450 million with her mental health program.
This comes under the heading of "There is no lawful strategy, program or idea to fix it, but we have to come up with something, anything that will baffle them with bullshit and might get us into the winter months."
CAPS is a fuck'n JOKE !!!!!
The CAPS clown in 001 refuses to respond to any email from citizens. Must be on the orders of Pigott and Sophia “I’m friends with the Obamas “ King.

Just a other spot for scared not the police inside losers.
015 commander "assistant" watch secretary with her own parking spot that has 5 years on. Yea, boss I'll go out there and be the "police for you" lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hold me down on a foot patrol/PCI/lunch/premise check/PCI.

Agreed Maybe the poooliiice are supposed to sit with da community demonstrating:
How to clean and maintain their guns? Perhaps: better shooting techniques and hand grip?
How to jam up a PO and win the ghetto lottery?
Compkete guide to wilding, especially how to terrorize, beat up innocents and steal under the smack down limit? (They're already experts here, so might just be a summer refresher)
Oh I know: best times of day to rape, rob, pillage, and destroy decent housing, neighborhoods and businesses whilst avoiding cameras and evading capture.
The community positive engagement options are endless. Just ensure you're in head to toe armor with 10 car and 100 PO back up. Bring a sling shot just in case your legal gun upsets thrm
I feel sorry for the decent folks, they're outnumbered and their children are terrorized just like the rest of us.
God bless our blue and thank you.
So more bodies wasted on Caps. Why not give all Caps bikes and use the cars for the real police.
Bring Eric Washington back
His skills are needed
"The second monthly meeting will deal exclusively with “violence deterrence.”
If there are problem businesses with a spike in criminal activity, police liaisons will work with those businesses to develop a corrective safety plan, Betts said.
“We’ll try to give them a chance to remedy problems on their own by making a few adjustments before enhanced enforcement is required,” Betts said."
So this will be good for the clients of your local street pharmaceutical dealers. It will cut down on the robberies and the shorting in the "bags" of their clients. Also will the police be testing for the purity & strength of the medicine? Sounds like the dealers will have to buy a license tag to wear while dealing on the corner.
Betts, I retired in 2011 and I am pretty sure he was a PO then.
Years ago I worked with a boss who was politically connected with the Machine. He said Richie had a grand plan to use the police department as an extension of the political Machine. What he described at the time was getting the police more involved with the community rather than just locking criminals up which does nothing for the goals of the Democrat Party. As time went on the bread and circuses started coming hence CAPS, block parties, parades, marches, getting senior citizens involved, calling them during heat waves & cold spells, police doing things for the community. All of this takes their minds off of crime. The police department is slow evolving into a concierge service, this is what they want you doing, not law enforcement-that brings problems.
Turn caps over to a civilian employee.
In the 2nd District staff meeting today, also known as the land of merit promotees, we were lectured by the CAPS Sgt. on getting event numbers and participating in city service days (or some other nonsense titled initiative) by grabbing a broom or shovel and picking up litter in da hood. Officers are to engage the community with conversation and a smile too. Sure.
Caps office won’t change and nothing will change
Why does ex-mayor Rahmster still have 019th district officers 24 hours a day still sitting and watching his empty house? Get these cops back on a beat car already! HES NOT MAYOR ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There goes more officers off the street.
Hard to go shopping on a bike. No place to put the packages
Dwayne was a great Sgt. in 004. Too bad he sold his soul to this clusterfuck of racial political clout. Damn Dwayne, I actually liked working for you in 004. Why did you go to the Dark Side?

Unbelieveable the different rules for different folks. Used to work in 011 on midnights and in winter had to come in and shovel snow off the car because nobody could park their car in the young no time on the job commanders Secretary. She had the covered reserved spot right by the door. Pure bs
It's still C R A P S to me.

Then she's ruined as an actual Police Officer. Dump her out of CAPS and she will hit the medical, be assigned to the radio room, or demonstrate such natural police ability that she will be put in the SDSC room. This is what we asked for....
Wait unit squad police arrives... it should kill caps.
lori , end the police detail for the ballerina dancer
children are being gunned down like rabid dogs , don't little village kids lives matter ?
CAPS, beat meetings, positive loitering, outdoor roll calls - over the years this bullshit has accomplished absolutely nothing. Except to waste a lot of time and police manpower.

I'm no fan of Al, but he was long gone form 019 when the merge happened. Boggs brought him to 024 as a new Sgt to be his Caps guy.
The earliest iteration of CAPS, way back when it first started, was actually pretty effective where I live. Lots of community participation, and we actually got results. Our Beat cops were guys who'd been on the Beat a long time, and knew the hotspots, and the local troublemakers. Then as they kept changing the program, it became less and less effective, meetings went from monthly to every other month, and citizen attendance dropped off. Our beat cops changed, the district Commander has been changed out multiple times, and CAPS went to almost non-existent. I only wish that new CAPS will help, but my cynicism says, "nah."
(I do live in a Neighborhood/District that's "gentrifying", but in the 80's it was scary.)

Yes, yes, yes! He had moved on after 19 to his next inside spot at 24 and further onward and upward because he is so smart (((sarcasm))). That was simply a sentence that meant he started back then with the other scammers, who continued on their merry ways after the merge. Sorry it read awkwardly.
