SWAT Redeployed?
An interesting rumor:
- No more OT at sporting events or concerts for SWAT. 60 SWAT officers sitting around doing nothing really pissed off the Mayor. A video surfaced of two SWAT officers caught sleeping at Cellular Field. Video was sent to Lightfoot. She was PISSED and so was the Supt. SWAT has embarrassed the Supt in the past, and now he is in the hot seat again because of them. The Mayor and Supt want more accountability concerning specialized units. SWAT is first up.
The Final Draft has not been approved yet detailing SWAT, but it is being finalized. SWAT will be assigned to the following districts: (005, 007, 011 and 015). SWAT Sergeants and Coordinator are excluded at this time. This SWAT District Initiative will begin 01 April 2020, on 1st and 3rd watch. SWAT Support will be assigned to the 011th District only. This is being done, in case, the SWAT vehicles are requested.
SWAT, will be able to keep their take home vehicles for call outs. SWAT will be assigned, to work in their blue uniforms. No more military green BDUs. SWAT district duties will include, responding to in progress calls that have a potential of violence, especially EDP calls. SWAT will also be available for arrest/search warrant operations. SWAT officers, can also be assigned to a tactical team if the DC requests. Expect SWAT officers to be assigned to static violent zones.
The Detail Unit has begun training and getting ready to stand up Special Response Teams for active shooter and potential terrorist attacks. Past and present leadership of the detail unit, felt SWAT is not earnings their keep at these events. Former SWAT officers are now conducting the training for them.
This sounds brilliant. Seriously.

Fools. Only CFD can sleep. It's called advanced rejuvenation.
mass exodus?
WAIT! What about that Special Ed Sleeping Video?
Was she not pissed? Fix the Head before you fix SWAT.
Eddie 'Easterbrook' Johnson: redeployed for employee
relationship. The standards are the standards across the
board. Eddie 'Hider' Johnson resigned in disgrace. As
the leader of this Department, I accept full responsibility.
I deeply regret that I failed my city, my officers, and myself.
Indifference makes you very sleepy.
Redeploy your ass back to Massilon.
You have failed and like Eddie Johnson you're not doing
your job. You could not greet President Trump at the airport.
You are a miserable failure. How do you live with yourself?
WOW! The new Super Man! Congratulations all around!
Papa Bear set bad example sleeping in Chicago Tahoe.
No discipline. Hey, how about that internal investigation?
It's almost 3 weeks now. Where's the beef?
Lori pissed?
Trump was pissed Times Two. Called out Efffie J.

SWAT, and you can make jokes at their expense, they go into incidents of “high risk”. They have days off cancelled, like everyone else, for events all summer. The city wants “trained” individuals at public events in case a shooter or any other coward strikes. These concerts, Paloozzas, etc bring in $.
“The Mayor and Supt want more accountability concerning specialized units. SWAT is first up.”
So does that mean the horses, dogs, traffic enforcement, mass transit, dets, airport, marine, IAD, all the house mouses etc, etc, etc will follow?
When SWAT showers up at an event they look like a lost WWII unit with those Green BDU's. Kind of act like it to. Only thing missing is the M1 rifles.
No more SWAT overtime, bet there is a mass exodus from SWAT.
Hahahaha get to work boys!
God let’s hope it’s true. Those primadonas need to be knocked down a few pegs. Ever see some of them strokes in the gym at homan wearing “either you’re SWAT or you’re not” tshirts? Get over yourselves. Never seen a bigger bunch of boners. Welcome back to the beat and half hour lunches gents. Mayor Larry thanks you for all your sacrifices. LOLOLOL
No more banana republic army uniforms what are they going to do?
They can always say they forgot to take their new medication per their Doctor.
If the excuse is good enough for fat ED, then it is good for every one else.
Hahaha. Well, clearly a disgruntled troll who does not like swat, couldn’t make swat or was bounced out of swat. Would be cool if true but this is absolutely a fairy tale that is not true. Sorry you got dumped from swat dude. Sometimes the best car bitterness isn’t worth the stress. Just accept that you were disliked and got dumped.. it happens.

Furious over swat officers sleeping yet the soup was caught on video PASSED out drunk with his car running and that doesn’t bother the mayor. Fat rd GFY with your hypocrisy
Yeah right, complete bullshit. If they did that most of the federal funding for anti terrorism would disappear. It's all about the dollars. And I'd Ed can drink and drive, then pass out behind the wheel, then we all can.
Book it, Eddie will be gone by end of this week.....
This sounds as if it’s going back to the old days where SWAT was pulled out of guys who were already working gangs and had to be .called off of the streets and were already tired from the day. Not to mention not as well trained. This would be a huge mistake. We have a very professional well trained Swat. Team. They should not suffer because of a simple mistake. I know when I hit a job with high risk I welcome having the option of calling Swat so I have a better chance of all of my Officers going home
Can they still chant: Hut Hut Hut?

Blah Blah Blah the super sleep and Larry are pissed. Same bullshit different day. All talk no action from that blow hard hand job Sup.
NOW to find the rest of the hiding house mouse do noting suck asses and reassign them to the job they were hired to do be the police. Desks should only be open during business hours like the suburbs.
Hope this decision doesn't come back to bite the city in the ass. If it does SWAT will be blamed not those that made the call. It takes a different type of cop to join a unit where its guaranteed you will put your life on the line repeatedly. It is a real shame a lot of cops love to dump on SWAT officers that do a job they can't, won't, couldn't and have no idea how to do.
Just one more nail in the coffin of the CPD that has so many nails in it already it can no longer float.
This Department has become nothing but a social experiment. We have units that are designed to do forms of proactive policing and or specialized enforcement. We run them down in manpower and assign them to functions they dont have the equipment to perform.. Then you have some districts way over budgeted strength a few with 200 POs over budgeted strength crying for help from specialized units. Some believe If you throw enough bodies and money at it you can solve the problems.. This has proven time and time again not to work. how about filling districts with base line manpower. 240 per district should be minimum baseline. shuffle extra to some busy districts. then you can play with this team concept that has been attempted twice and failed due to manpower and contractual time off. We hit the iceberg, women and children in the life boats.
What an incredibly stupid idea. Only this merit run department could come up with this. There's a need for SWAT. The department is pissed because SWAT members file 2 grievances. So the Department put SWAT on the old 6 & 2's and rotating shifts. They get very little of the needed training. The 6 & 2 decision alone shows you what the command staff thinks of everyone on this department. It also shows how big of fucking cowards our command staff is that none of them stands up and says its wrong.
Insert tv theme song now!
It's time we start doing like NYPD but put our own twist on it. Instead of only turning our backs on the mayor, we turn our backs on drunken Eddie also. And maybe the rest of the merit hack too.
Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha.....Couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of self important self aggrandizers. I always thought the Easter Block military surplus uniforms were a bit too much. SWAT is a way over rated bunch of egotists anyways. They could use a knockdown here. It's not like they are actually trained up to par anyways. That would absorb a lot of $$$ to do so.
I remember at the TABD (94?) conference in the hotel basement staging area, they didn't want to be mixed in with the masses from patrol. So they brought curtains and walled off an Area for "Swat Only" We all had a great time playing cards, and watching movies while SWAT walked around with a very stern look on their face and hid behind their curtains.
Done in by their own arrogance and stupidity. Sleeping at a Major Sports Event? No one would ever record that...lol!
Looks like the rule breaking none Law abiding, Head of cheater gate, superintendent of police he’s also been redeployed to the unemployment line with a huge pension don’t worry though he will turn up somewhere else making six figures just like the rest of the idiots;
CPD Supt. Eddie Johnson To Present Police Budget Amid Retirement Rumors
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2019/11/04/johnson-police-budget/
Well, that's because it's a white sox game! Don't blame them.
To 12:10.the cfd motto is on every piece of apparatus.it reads "we're there when you need us"no one should be concerned what we are doing before,or after.besides,all those hours at the side job get you sleepy.
You know what else is on the "chopping" block? E.J....
SWAT is a staple in any big city police force. In Chicago, it’s just a patronage army, that doesn’t do any real work. Do like the burbs or county and train a bunch of beat guys who can respond while on the clock.
We could always use more officers in the district and the districts are always available. Come back to the watch. It's not bad at all if you STAY FETAL.

S T F U You’re so stupid for even saying that!
Destroyed in a decade. Ineffective your the last 6 years.
About time. 001 tac and detail unit for years are out of the cars at visible posts with the rifles at all soldier field events. Even in the shitty weather. SWAT personnel just sitting in their cars the whole time on Mcfetridge and Waldron drive.
That’s some BS, those guys are awesome. Fuck, i would have been sleep too
Boring ass details
Groot needs a psychiatrist. Maybe she can convince
Eddie to go along.
Dude they have a guy on swat who live-streams his workouts. While cops are busting their humps responding to actual crime, he is chatting about his new gear he got. Yes SWAT does some stuff, but so do the guys in 007, 006, 011, 015. So put them back in rotation on the street.
Well, in all honesty, the White Sox also make me sleepy.
- die hard Sox fan
Well if the city wants trained individuals at events they would be better off with Andy Frain than SWAT. At least then no innocents injured or wrong homes broken into.
Well get ready for an exodus from swat. Plus swat isn’t what it used to be just like a majority of the units. We need to be smarter Sleeping in a place with so many cameras. Come on now.
The Superintendent is embarrassed...BECAUSE OF SWAT? Seems the Superintendent has a lot of other stuff to be embarrassed about first.
Don't know how SWAT is organized, don't know who the people assigned are, nor do I know any of the supervisors assigned.
What I do know is that they are a specialized unit, with specialized training, theoretically at/near to special events which can
(And sometimes have) devolve into chaos. Did have occasion years ago to have them in the background at an HRT incident
Involving a crazy father inside -armed- with his young child.
That being said, when you are deployed to an event/situation upon which chaos may happen, there are long hours of just
sitting around and waiting. Long, dull hours of waiting. Very long dull hours........where you do nothing but sit and wait.
That is their JOB! To be there, unseen, just in case!
So what if one or two fell asleep......that's what happens.....(no offense, LL, but I have seen your aldermen do the same).
Had they been called into service, they would have jumped in IMMEDIATELY, it's WHAT THEY DO!
So Groot sees a video of Swat guys sleeping and gets incensed yet she sees a video of FatHeadEd passed out, DUI, behind the wheel of his city car and that doesn’t faze her.
Fuck you groot.
During cubs championship win, there wS a van parked on the corner with two swat guys in it comatose throughout the whole celebration. It was embarrassing.
is there really any need for Det's and any other Units to be in civilian dress on duty anymore ? Those days are gone. Get Uniform, CPD. Bring us all together , Mayor Lightfoot. Chicago needs uniformity in their Police Force, and everyone working together for the common good.
Management routinely, historically screws up and only the pissants get the shakedown?
What happens to the bosses, oh-no don’t move them into those districts, they full.
News flash Larri LightLoafer:
MSOW (man slumped over the wheel) is NOT a transgression that requires discipline.
Duh.
And furthermore, Yosemite LightLoafer needs to be sent away to Hartgrove’s for some anger management training too.
Swat guys sleeping? So what, Eddie was sleeping behind the wheel!

They go into incidents of “high risk” after the original beat man is send there and any back up beat cars. The original risk is worse for the responding units than those showing up later
swat? just call 911 and hope someone answers.
who cares anymore
They work a 6-2 schedule and they rotate between all 3 watches every period. I’d be asleep too.

So Special Ed is embarrassed by someone on SWAT being tired and resting for a moment on some down time?! Yet he’s not embarrassed at all by his own actions and lies?! I thought he couldn’t be worse than McCarthy, but boy was I wrong! Can’t you hang it up already? I literally cannot think of anyone on this job who respects you. You yourself have been the one at the helm leading this Department into the disgrace that it’s become today! I honest to God used to love this job, and now as I’m riding into the home stretch, I can’t stand it! We see right through your bullshit! You and Mayor Munchkins
Not SWAT but in their defense if they were sleeping, almost the whole unit works double shifts and get all there days off cancelled due to the manpower issue. They are gravely understaffed. How long can a person go working 16-20 hours a day before the body gives up. If true sleeping is unacceptable , but eventually the body can only take so much.
RP Says,
What is wrong with a lil nap during the tour of duty?
That is what a long personal is for.
In Europe SWAT it’s considered not only specialized unit but also undercover. You will never see their faces. They call them silent unseen. Here in Chicago they walk around like they are a celebrities. Same thing with Tac teams they are called Kriminalna Policja everything is undercover. You will never see guys sleeping on the job, they either deployed or they train, martial arts, lemart. Etc. In Chicago we lack of discipline starting from 3510 S. Michigan to the academy and districts. Truth is that the only officers that get discipline are the one who actually perform a real police job. Who we can blame for that? Politics, lawmakers, and superintendent. Democrats pussified society, society got soft, lawmakers figured they will create laws to filled their pockets (more “victims” more money) and Special Ed and others before them
Who can’t speak and stand for the backbone of this city but who are no different than a fu... marionette. Stay Fetal my friends, that’s what they want.
CPD swat is a joke. They don’t even recruit the best of the best. Last I saw was a slug in 005 get in because of family ties. I would never call them in I’d handle it myself. Now go get some community interactive event number Swat.

You are a hater and jealous of us swat guys. That is why you made up a stupid acronym. We have saved countless lives and we are prepared for all active shooters and terrorist incidents.
Swat doesnt authorize its own OT initiatives, it was 35th that assigned Swat to the events in the first place. 60 guys on 6-2s with every rdo cancelled, aside from every other detail, job and warrant are not suppose to burnout? This is the 3rd biggest city in the US and we are moving away from a Swat team? This is not how other cities operate a Swat team and this is just another example of what a massive failure the leadership at 35th St is and our antipolice mayor. Every Swat guy should drop pars forms asap, fuck them.

I think this is a great idea. 60 extra officers assigned to high crime areas. Why wait till spring? Send them now!
Not on SWAT and never was. Lightfoot doesn’t get it. Chicago, and really any mid to large size city, needs SWAT. A unit dedicated exclusively to active shooter or terrorist type incidents. Bomb & Arson techs are trained and available to defuse bombs. SWAT needs to be available to respond. SWAT is not a patrol unit available for assignments and detailed to hot spots other then SWAT related incidents. The Marine Unit is available and responds to water rescue incidents.
I will not go to the southside. Keep your take home car. See ya!
I can assure you that this entire thing is just that, a rumor. Nothing more. Someone trying to stir the SWAT (pun intended). SWAT is an integral part of the response at the major venues and they will continue to be there.
Downtown headquarters signing off on D3 pay, new rifles and equipment. City finally recognizing the amazing job that SWAT does and was the only unit with specialty training and certifications.
Hell - just saw a SWAT guy on the news - he ran 15k in full gear - stopped to save a life and then got engaged!! Totally amazing - these guys can do anything!!
I heard Lightfoot is gonna start a “Drag Queen Swat Team.” And BDU”s will be made of chiffon. ♠️
Ain't that sweet, well it not work, this was tried years back and when the cars were tied up on a pinch that delayed response time. SWAT is not the problem, they patrol the downtown area when they are not training. What happened to the rifle program in districts. The problem is when you have young guns who are reservists or Natiobal guard that think they are trained in SWAT and they probably are just as good but there is protocol and every district on every watch must have a 2 man car that can be CCIRT TRAINED to respond to SVIP and Robbery in progress, or gun jobs. If it is a SWAT job they would contain and wait for SWAT, unless an active shooter. Dumping these guys back to the district is a disaster.
I know a lot of people that fall asleep when they go to US cellular (or whatever name it goes by) Field!!!!!

This is off the subject, but I just happened to see a copy of of the contract and to be quite frank, I am appalled at what your Shit For Brains gave those Communist M/F.
Obviously, your Mayor has no negotiating skills, she sold all you hard paying Chicago TaxPayers down the river! Your Screwed, to put it mildly your so call elected Mayor gave those Communist loving Teachers everything they wanted, and what are the voters going to do nothing, nobody Sympathizes with you, if you are that stupid as it seems you are then keep voting Democratic. I find it funny that everyone voted fot the Tax Man JB, who made all these promises to lower your Property Taxes, well fat boy comes in and raises taxes, gee what a surprise, just remember the Demorats have no sympathy for Tax payers, they are corrupt lying Politicans. I know that the Police have a weak Union, and I think its time that everyone gets on the same page and let this weasel of a mayor know, its our time for a raise! God Bless the CPD
You guys complained your way right into the mayor's crosshairs, nice job! It wasn't good enough to workout, shoot, train and pretty much do whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted? Unlimited overtime, take home cars, answer your city phones or not, no big deal. It wasn't enough for you guys. You had to demand more. Well, here's all the attention you sharpshooters can handle. Reap what you sow. You guys just bitched your way out of a job. Proving that SWAT is obsolete. Good job boys!
I dont suppose it ever occurred to any of these clout hacks that having teams visible at these huge events, or at airports, carrying rifles "like every other big city in the world" is a legitimate is an effective deterrent and might just prevent some nut job from pulling something?
It sounds like they have fucked up that SWAT program the same way they fuck everything else up. I heard they never even train, who is the idiot that decides a SWAT team should never train? I dont even have to ask if they fucked it up with clout cause thats to be assumed.
Christ! What an outfit.
assign swat to patrol 8,12,16,17 & 22 , those are districts that deserve extra police officers on patrol
residents in above districts appreciate , respect police , send them CPD's SWAT UNIT to patrol 24/7
It's easy to bitch about what SWAT does or doesn't do....until you need them. Years ago I was involved in a very tense situation that turned ugly VERY quickly. SWAT was there. I was, and still am, immensely grateful that they had my back and the backs of all the other POs on the scene. It would have ended very differently if they weren't around or were stuck dealing with some shitbag dope boy on the corner instead of doing what they're trained to do. This mayor is clueless, liberal trash and will feel the effects when this city burns due to her gross mismanagement of the department.
SWAT will also take over current CPD duties at Chicago Water Department facilities effective January 9, 2020. Shhhh! Don't tell anyone!!!

Man why do our fellow brothers in blue always hate on swat and the D unit? Its ridiculous the amount of hate on this blog from our so called brothers and sisters in blue! Look I'm not a good swimmer or a good shot so I knew I would never make it to swat kudos to those that are! I'm definitely not going to hate on my brother's who made it. Look if your too fat or stupid to get out the beat car that's on you...bust your ass and get out. Study, workout, kiss ass whatever works for you, And nope I'm no merit political hack!
Here’s a little secret but don’t tell anyone. Promise? Lots of videos of swat sleeping. Detail Unit was on a spying mission. They were pissed about the OT they were making. Changes coming down soon.

Well, it's basically a bunking job with a subpar service
trade off if you are awakened from a dead sleep. No
substitute for a wakeful 8-hr overnight shift.
Last I heard, US Navy Subs crews work 6 to 8 hrs.,
Drill/train/relax for the same, then sleep 6 to 8 hrs,
depending on mission. This was last revised in 2014
and the fools realized there is no substitute for 8 hrs
of solid sleep.
From what I've always heard, guys do Fire for the food,
bunking (paid while sleeping), and the block of days off
where they can work a part time/odd job in the summers.
O/T:Feds probing southside Alderman C.A.. She's next to wear federal bracelets; her Chief of Staff Chester W. wore a wire to save himself some time in prison. "It's the Chicago Way."
You can say what you want about uniforms, but it almost
always happens that a lone wolf SWAT shows up because
he happens to be near the scene. He's basically in plain
clothes with a SWAT vest for ID. For recruiting purposes
this is great because you just can't beat the allure of a
Dr. Suess hat. It really 'pops' in the photos and is great
optics. Civilians think the training is more important than
the dress code and say to themselves "Yeah, I could do
that gig."

Right! Two SWAT guys were sleeping during the White Sox Game? Wrong! Try four different videos have surfaced including O’Hare and Wrigley. You want the overtime but you can’t hang. On another note, please stop sending letters to the Mayor’s Office explaining why SWAT should be exempt from swiping. You are pathetic and are making all of us look bad.
A lot of sad jealous officers who could not do what some of these officers do. As a detective worked with them during hostage situations, they were excellent at their job and brave. Watched them enter active shooter situation in a warehouse so dark you could not see 2 feet and take out the offender with no other loss of life.
That’s not silk or Gucci.
“ When SWAT showers up at an event they look like a lost WWII unit with those Green BDU's. Kind of act like it to. Only thing missing is the M1 rifles.”

It was just recently renamed, again. Currency Exchange Field
"They go into incidents of “high risk” after the original beat man is send there and any back up beat cars. The original risk is worse for the responding units than those showing up later"
AMEN. Somebody who realizes the truth.
P.S. To those knocking beat cops...Did you ever think the guys on longtime beats/patrol WANT to be there?? Some of you guys think they CAN'T get off the beat. Simple fact, many don't take the tests because they don't want the added responsibility and headaches of supervisory position, no matter the pay increase. Don't want teams or units because they're smart enough not to be pawns for some shitty bosses who only demand numbers to make themselves look good. I guess if it makes YOU feel good about the shit you have to put up with by criticizing patrol/beat cars then go ahead. The avg beat car in 011,015, etc will see more action in a day than units and swat will see in weeks. It's a uncomfortable fact for many, but being a beat car by choice in a shitty district is the definition of being "The real police".
This is from 35th street, You heard it here.
Video of Superintendent passed out behind wheel is why retirement is the new idea? And the main reason of this idea
Remember back a few weeks ago when the Black Caucus wanted him gone and Lightfoot was ready to make changes?
Then on Saturday morning Johnson has quick news conference with some black caucus members supporting him.....saved job!
Now he is found incapacitated (by any means) sitting in running Department vehicle. All on video!
Videos are secured but the FOIA rule of open investigation will not stop release of videos! It’s administrative not criminal!
Media is bringing out attorneys to ask judge to order release of all audio and video.......
Media Affairs and Department law trying to keep lid on it but time is short.... and leaks all around.
Look for Fenner to be moved to soft spot and Johnson to drop his papers at same time.
They are still trying to cover up this mess......guess those trying to help the cover up want to keep jobs.
And they are turning their back on Johnson........the straw that broke was the reply to Trump,
When Johnson ordered all the Command staff to stand with him when he replied to Trump.......
There were plenty that were there and were upset over this. Because it was all politics trying to help Johnson.
Now these command officers have found out about street video of Johnson and want nothing to do with him or cover up......
CYOA and keep your job.
Lightfoot is having visitors this week and next week all for the Superintendent job,
Why do we know this?
Just read the list of candidates along with resumes!
Names will make you laugh and cry
That was HBT at the TABD Conference, 2002. They were hot shit because they had these new tools (battery powered angel grinders) to deal with protesters who locked themselves together.
I wonder if the Sup. making noises about leaving has anything to do with the out of town female Police Executive that the mayor and her spouse were entertaining about a week ago. Seems like too much of a coincidence to me.
“Here’s a little secret but don’t tell anyone. Promise? Lots of videos of swat sleeping. Detail Unit was on a spying mission. They were pissed about the OT they were making. Changes coming down soon.”
Nice try moron. Unlike you, we don’t turn on our own. Maybe you should grow up and stop being part of the problem.
I heard Lori the lame brain clown was Webster for Halloween and sleepy drunken Ed was Big guy!
Is the Elf on the Self now gonna be sporting stylish Green BDUs?

This is all a power move from 35th street. They don’t want to give SWAT D 3 pay, so they are making life miserable for them.
***D3 pay? fuck, they are not worth that!
I think their arrogance did them in in the end. They all thought they were Jason Bourne's, to good to even talk to the Serf's unless they woke up on midnights and actually took in a call and instructed us on how to be the Police.
Even as a SWAT unit they just weren't that good. As legit as any other clout unit on this bullshit job. But by being arrogant assholes to their brothers in blue they made a lot of enemies, we've all learned to live with phony units. And then there was that SGT with all his bullshit they covered for. Stuff the rest of us would have been fired for 10X over.
The best part of retirement is you dont have to be around this fucked up phony Dept. anymore.

What is an "angel grinder" and what does it do?
Ed was Otis for Halloween
Lets see the videos. Don’t hold on to them. If a beat officer falls asleep and does not respond to a job, they are RED LINED!

Let’s not forget where we all started, in a beat car. SWAT comes in after the situation has been assessed, unfortunately the beat car isn’t afforded that luxury. They usually arrive cold
why wait until April 2020
assign them to 16 17 on Northside and 8, 22 on Southside immediately

This sounds as if it’s going back to the old days where SWAT was pulled out of guys who were already working gangs and had to be .called off of the streets and were already tired from the day. Not to mention not as well trained. This would be a huge mistake. We have a very professional well trained Swat. Team. They should not suffer because of a simple mistake. I know when I hit a job with high risk I welcome having the option of calling Swat so I have a better chance of all of my Officers going home
———————————————————-
Are you a Chicago policeman ??? Because it
Doesn’t sound like it !!!!!
First of all SWAT was born from our old
HBT team and when they got rid of those
Guys they turned a lot of guys from SOS
Into swat
Secondly I don’t know one Chicago policeman
Who would call swat to boot a door and make
Entry even in a high risk situation I mean
If your a tact guy that’s what you live for
And third of all our swat teams although they
Revive a different kind of training mainly
Because there mission is different than
That of a beat car are not well trained
As a matter of fact one of there biggest
Complaints is that they are not receiving
The kind of training they should and they
Hate that because the city and the leadership
Who makes those decisions will not pay for them
To attend or even bring in specialist to do regular
Training with them as do all other departments around
The country
So I’m not sure who you are maybe I’m just not
Understanding your comment
Obviously someone who knows the truth. Sgt ML helped destroy the reputation of our swat team. Tom was too scared to call him out on his BS. The rest is history.
Hondo would be very disappointed...
The best part of retirement is you dont have to be around this fucked up phony Dept. anymore
+++++++
You almost made me cry. Not in a good way. I have almost 14 years to go.
Buzz out at Ohare is that they are going to be disbanded to the districts via Super Bid and Aviation Police taking over...
This entire thing smacks of cynicism. So you mean to tell me that swat no longer has to work the 6 and 2 schedule that was basically outlawed more than 20 years ago? Swat does not have to work 12 to 18 hours 3-5 days a week? Swat won't have to rotate between 3 watches every month anymore? They'll get to enjoy more than one day off with their school-aged child more than once every 5 weeks? Sign me up buddy! And you know what, when you add that SWAT is not earning their keep at these events all you're really doing is revealing your ignorance, SWAT doesn't go to these events to work as tma's, to help direct traffic, or to give gate information to concert concertgoers. They are there for a worst-case scenario. They didn't ask for those missions, in fact they asked off of those missions. 35th Street in its Infinite Wisdom saw fit to assign them to Sox Cubs Bears Bulls Blackhawks DePaul Basketball Loyola basketball WNBA games every concert every event that the city hosts. You are a simpleton and stirring the pot like this reveals that you are nothing more than an insecure ignorant coward disguised in a blue uniform. Ask for not being any good or well trained, you can stick that up your ass, because the team even having canceled training as often as they do still does an excellent job at CQB and other aspects of Tactical response. They routinely shoot every team they compete against under the table at various SWAT schools, trainings, and competitions. And I have yet to come across the SWAT guys that you insist walk around high-and-mighty, disrespectful, or arrogant. To the contrary they tend to keep quiet, come off as humble, and always helpful. Get a life hater
What a effed up department. Reassign the person/s caught sleeping to the worst district that is farthest from their home on midnights and move on. This sends a message to everyone this behavior will not be tolerated.
Some SWAT Primadonnas have gotten their Camo g-strings in tied up in a knot..Get over yourselves..You can blame that psycho Sergeant ML for most of your troubles..He got to retire and the rest of you got left holding the leaking bag of shut..Enjoy!😘
