Not Following Policy?

Who would have thought that the Department brass and upper level management would have actually followed rules and policy?
  • Chicago's inspector general has found that the city's police department did not follow its own orders that call for lieutenants to inspect the body cameras officers wear to make sure they're working correctly.

    In a report released on Tuesday, the office says a review revealed that the watch operations lieutenants did not review one recording daily across all of shifts between November 2017 and March 2018.

    Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says steps have been taken to ensure compliance with the policy and that commanders are assessed on their compliance every two weeks.
Is that a quota?

We kid! We kid!

But seriously - with all the built in fuck-off time, lieutenatns across the city couldn't be bothered to review one single video per day? It's not like they're allowed to cherry pick the shortest one available or even one of the officers that they know is always professional and does his or her job appropriately without any sort of oversight.

First off, I'm calling bullshit. The lieutenants I work with are always referring to the BWC video they looked at as a training tool

PO’s have been sparred for petty violations captures by body cameras. While other get a pass for same violations. I foresee lawsuits on basis of inconsistent enforcement/harassment in the future. Payday for some.

Body worn cameras are a bunch of bull shit. Only good for the lawyer's when law suits come pending.

Wait til the IG finds out no one is watch In-Car Camera videos.

Random: video no longer than 5 minutes which usually means a traffic stop, burg alarm, no contact, etc.

It’s a very efficient operation

IG is worried about that???????.........btw you let America down on shakman decree, graham residency, CPS student molestitations, political donations/nepotism, and illigetimacy of promotional exams. The entire world knows that CPS wears body cameras. When a citizen makes a complaint, which they can do a dozen ways, the video is watched. Hospital administrators don't watch acl surgery videos that went well because time is too precious. Oh I forgot there is no live video, there are just still pictures when everything is staged perfectly with forceps and sponges present.

we are clown world when led by democrats. Everyone knows it. And our clown is 5'02" bearing the resemblenance of a muppet.

I used to review 1 a month, at least that's what I said I did. Fuck that Im not looking to fuck somebody over if nobody else is complaining. Im not looking to find problems, problems can come to me and I will deal with it then. And ya, when I did review I looked for the guy/girl who I knew had their shit wired tight and not 1 of the questionable clowns.

Never mind reviewing the cameras, GET ONE!

Lieutenants, Captains, Commanders and above... Assign them a camera, put a dash cam in their cars, make them log in and wear the camera, wear the Mic log in to a cell phone, a pdt, and while you're at it make a gang loitering stop and read the stupid card on camera, issue the warning, issue an ISR receipt, and go ahead and make an arrest in this century.

Don't assign the paper to a minion, do it all just once this year. Put YOUR name in box 1 and take that garbage to court.

You can't. And it isn't because of rank. It's because you know how stupid this nonsense has become.

When body cameras were first proposed, they were sold on the idea that when complaints were filed or a police action took place, the film could be reviewed. As I recall, the proponents said these cameras would never be used to routinely scrutinize the conduct of police officers. How quickly that has changed and how much the liberal left lied.

Now here is another comment from someone who really does not have a clue about lawsuits, how easy it is to file one and how hard it is to actually win one. There will be no payday and no attorney in his/her right mind would take such a lawsuit. Now, a grievance? Yes, I can see that happening. But, you have to have some harm to do so.

This is Bull Shit, because I'm the Desk Sergeant and I see that BWC review report printing out everday. Not only once but sometimes twice. I see the Lieutenant come and get it, or ask if someone pickup his report, and sometimes I will hand-carry it to them. So, if he's saying everyone then your a Liar, or someone you work for is feeding you some Bull Shit. Here's a simple solution do a FOIA request. If I'm right then you need to be fired for missing representing your Office and poisoning the public trust.

Keep dreaming about the payday. They pick and chose. That’s the way it’s been and always will be. Like giving a motorist a pass and then ticketing the next one. Payday for the second one. Don’t think so

And this is news? Could have told you that from day one. Rank of LT is just a do nothing well paid job. Totally unnecessary for that rank to exist when you have Captains and Commanders. Just another pension draining job of which CPD has a lot of. All CPD clerks should be civilian. 90% of all desk jobs being done by CPD could be and should be civilian. Of not willing to go the civilian route the desk jobs should pay 30% less than street cops.

Lt hardest job in department gee the Lt really told you all. If anyone believes that there is the matter of a bridge in NY that I would like to discuss. Sorry Lt your a figment of your own imagination. Hardest job in department is pushing a beat car in the Wood or Austin where every hour, life and death decisions have to be made. Then call a Lt who has the luxury of second guessing everything, that is if you can find him or her and keep them awake long enough to be useful. Sorry Me. Lt
Poster your delusional, or in love with yourself. Now go back to sleep.

The IG Ferguson is only interested in bloodying up cops on the orders of Lightfoot, the lying racist man and cop hater anti American progressive. When is phony Ferguson going to investigate davina Ward like he was asked to by COPA? Why didn’t he investigate the lieutenant cheating scandal ? Why won’t he investigate continued handicapped discrimination? He is pure garbage.

A pathetic 30% are merit. Probably even higher because in typical corrupt Chicago tradition you can bet there are shannigans involved.

I just got notified that i have not pretended to watch and read all my email training!!!

seven new general orders some of which are 6 to 10 pages. How long can i be held down reading these order at the district?

Or am i supposed to read them on my crappy samsung cell phone while on patrol.
Its not like some kids will launch boulders at my squad car while i drive by cermak and rockwell from a viaduct.

YET a merit hack with a DESK AND TV SET cant look at a few 2 minute traffic stop videos a day! SO how was the accountability dealt out? Shift change? Move to busy district? spar with 3 day suspension? OR the fateful verbal warning....another clouted that have different rules but the same pension.

Any one working in the Districts in a uniform should be monitored with body cameras to include assigned vehicles. Decisions, directions and related actions are part of Police Operations. Monitor these supervisors and above. Minimize the fraud, waste and abuse especially in these ranks.

While the likelihood of this happening is nil it goes to the core of accountability for supervisors and police leadership. Your holding police officers accountable but not the leadership. That's the Chicago Way. And Lori holds accountability sessions and nothing is done eg, Wodnicki. Lori yours words and actions are worthless. Your ass is showing again.

Smoke and Mirrors. The big picture. The IG is now got his hooks on the Department. Its slow but just wait. This guy doesn’t have complete comprehensive investigators working for him. There hacks just like this BS camera story is a hack job. The FBI did dive into the JVD case closing it or more importantly passing up on it. This guy recommended 11 people fired without a true thorough investigation. (Political) Don’t forget about the incompetent cheaters we’re are now stuck with. That was a laughable investigation finding no wrong doing. His office should not be overseeing a kindergarten classroom after that. Stop throwing stones at ignorant dummy bosses. There were plenty of times Lt’s and Captains we’re monitoring camera and calling guys out where I work. We have a camera unit that fixes broken cameras in a timely manner. The article is crap. Now we have yet another entity of crap watching over us criticizing your every move. Remember if he or she was a former prosecutor they cannot do any wrong. Stay safe
