Beck's "Plans"
An interesting read, but we're pretty sure he isn't doing anything that Groot isn't telling him to do:
- Anyone planning a trip to Chicago would be wise to avoid coming to town from December through March — undoubtedly the four most unpleasant months of the year, weather-wise. But that’s the timeline interim Chicago Police Supt. Charlie Beck will operate under as he works to grease the skids for whoever becomes the department’s next full-time leader.
Beck retired as chief of the Los Angeles Police Department in 2018 after nine years at the helm. All told, he spent more than 40 years with the LAPD. Earlier this month, he was thrust to the top of the Chicago Police Department sooner than planned after Mayor Lori Lightfoot fired former Supt. Eddie Johnson amid an investigation by the city’s Office of the Inspector General.
Beck has said he wouldn’t take the permanent job, even if offered, giving him the freedom to make unpopular decisions without worrying about political blowback. “I think that there’s a number of things that will benefit Chicago and the Chicago Police Department that can get done by an interim that would be a heavier lift for a full-time” superintendent, he said. “I wouldn’t have come here if I didn’t think that this would succeed. I have no interest in anything else. If I didn’t think that we could set things up for a better Chicago Police Department I wouldn’t be here.”
"Merit," ICE, weed, the Consent Decree and the FOP all get a couple of paragraphs, some of it obviously canned, some of it compared to what LAPD experienced. It gives a tiny little glimpse of the possible road ahead, but time will tell.

What did we say before here?
Beck times his press releases about 2 to 3 weeks apart
to give us the impression he's working on something.
This comes right on schedule. We go home on
Christmas Eve thinking Beck is toiling away, when in
fact he's on the West Coast with his family. Bikes & horses.
WooooHoooo.
Off topic but worth contemplating. If every copper on a current promotional list sues Ed and the dept for making a mockery of the merit system, the city would have bigger problems. How many people were actually deserving or passed over because of sex in the xity.
All I know is that my borderline special commander is a double merit hack who thinks he is fit to lead. But for merit I would have been promoted around 2005. Beck could fix everything but it doesn’t mean jack shit to me. And remember that Jody was going to fix everything too? Pardon if I’m not buying what Beck is selling.
Another “open borders” political hack. Being in the country is a federal crime and I’ll assist any law enforcement officer, local, county, state, or or federal if asked.
I don’t even care anymore. I just drive around and answer my calls. City is lost.
Rent-A-Reformer
Can he really do this reformation in 90 days or is he
just a paid henchman? The time is drawing to a close.
Massive restructuring in January, then POOF, he's gone.
This has the optics of a phony can of beans. He's got
to be working with an executive team behind the scenes.
Things are timed out around the Christian social calendar
for this time of year. For all but the very evil, spare them
Christmas, give them New Year's Day, and be on a jet back
home to LA before Vanentine's Day. Trust us, if Charlie
Beck were a Republican, he would have a fighter escort.
When leading the LAPD, Beck says, “we made sure we kept ICE at an appropriate distance.”
Yeah... Heaven forfend any illegals get removed from a sanctuary city now. They might miss a welfare handout in the process. What injustice!
ICE is the bad guy to keep at a distance? How about the criminals illegal with no right to reside in the USA?
CA has had legal weed since 2016... What shape is that state in now?
OH! Oh shit...
Beck is a guppy wading into a pool full of sharks. He may move some of the chess pieces around on the chess board but what can he really accomplish in 3 or 4 months. Merry xmas to all.
Puppet master Rahm: Puppet Eddie Johnson
Puppet master Lori: Puppet Charie Beck
Reminds me of the 'Variety' headline following the great
1929 Stock Market Crash: "Wall Street Lays An Egg"
We're going to have the same thing here in Chicago.
Beck will take care of terminations and "inconvenient
relocations" and set the City up for the Next Guy. Clock
time is key here, because should any lawsuits arise, it
will be very costly to bring Beck back. Lori has planned
this out in more ways than one. For Mob hits, the hitters
usually meet a similar fate. In the business world of today,
they're planning on a clean break.
OT: holy shit, has anyone read through all the elearning about cannabis enforcement after the new year. The dept could not possibly have made it more complicated. Different things for different ages. Can cite on movers, anovs, civil law citations, arrests. How anyone can make heads or tails out of what the department put out is beyond me. After attempting to read through it all, my interpretation is that anyone with any amount of cannabis just gets a pass b/c the dept has made things so difficult. Do the elearning and read through it and tell me it’s not the most confusing shit ever.
Good for him hope he is successful with the changes he wants to make. Lord, knows the CPD needs radical change. But also know that with cops, old ways die hard slow deaths . Good Luck Charlie.
"It gives a tiny little glimpse of the possible road ahead, but time will tell."
BUMPY, VERY VERY, BUMPY. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
I want to wish each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year. Thank you for all you do 24/7/365 to keep us safe. Please take care, and know we are behind you always. : )
Heres a few more ideas, 1. No inside spots for Officer with under 20 years on. 2. Definitions that apply to all, like to get into a unit like narcotics you must have made a narcotic arrest or two in your career. 3. Merit should be defined and it should be activity based.
Interim always equals housecleaning in the new world order. Buckle up, it will be a bumpy ride.
When did CTA change their policy and not allow us to ride. Showed my badge and the attendant said they only allowed uniformed officers to ride for free. Clearly not our friends.
His driver has an open CR for punching another cop on duty.
Breaking news: Wanted for shooting of 13 at Englewood party is Two M/2 offenders wearing MAGA hats who crashed the party yelling this MAGA country.Kim Foxx will be investigating this lead very thoroughly.
Yes it amazes me that the politicians in this city, state and other states as well pick and choose what laws to follow. This “sanctuary city” bs allows illegal aliens to fill our public schools and our hospitals which in turn cost taxpayers millions probably billions of dollars a year. The politicians allow this because these people vote and they vote democratic ensuring the Democrats remain in control and they don’t care about the tax money being used to pay for schools and medical care. It would be interesting if Trump cut Federal funding from these programs because Chicago doesn’t follow the laws of the US Constitution.
The politicians also legalized marijuana. Why because the democratic people want it. Again an opportunity to remain in office. It doesn’t hurt that they will bring in tax money which they could use for more democratic freebies. You also have wealthy investors in the marijuana industry who will donate big money to democratic campaigns. Never mind the Federal government still says weed is illegal. It’s whatever fits their agenda. No time to go to Washington and do things the right way.
Truly unbelievable. This country is upside down and getting worse everyday. This next presidential election is huge. If one of these ultra left wing democrats win they will try and give away the store.
Your residency is not a criminal law [matter], it is an administrative law violation,” he said. “It’s not our job. And if we do that, we will alienate the people we are here to protect. Another part of my philosophy is, if you’re in Chicago, if you’re driving through, if you live here, if you work here, [then] you’re my responsibility. I don’t care where you were born. I don’t care what language your parents speak. I don’t care about any of that.”
I think Charlie is getting a little senile. Enter some other country illegally and you end up housed or dropped off at a border crossing to walk back where you came from.
Speaking of plans, here’s one the national Democrat Party apparently has for everyone: Chicago and Virginia. Good luck finding a quiet retirement location.
https://dailycaller.com/2019/12/23/virginia-house-zoning-environment/
Democrats in Virginia may override local zoning to bring high-density housing, including public housing, to every neighborhood statewide — whether residents want it or not.
The measure could quickly transform the suburban lifestyle enjoyed by millions, permitting duplexes to be built on suburban lots in neighborhoods previously consisting of quiet streets and open green spaces. Proponents of “upzoning” say the changes are necessary because suburbs are bastions of segregation and elitism, as well as bad for the environment.
The move, which aims to provide “affordable housing,” might be fiercely opposed by local officials throughout the state, who have deliberately created and preserved neighborhoods with particular character — some dense and walkable, others semi-rural and private — to accommodate people’s various preferences.

So all litigants with a stained blue dress are encouraged to apply?
Watch the video, he is repeating the mayors talking points, ICE is a problem, and citizenship is a "adminstrative issue" not a violation of the law. Beck seems to have a issue with the rank and file having a FOP which city has to negotiate with and layers of protection or a process for disciplint. Beck mentioned in LA the chief is the only abitrator of disciplint, and disciplint is swift. (good luck when your protrayed as bad by the media)
The D-unit reorganization wasnt mention in the video, but common sense prediction, centralized homcide teams, is someones brillant idea and just like closing areas to save money in a decade after it doesnt work, it will be someones brillant idea to decentralize them again.
After attempting to read through it all, my interpretation is that anyone with any amount of cannabis just gets a pass b/c the dept has made things so difficult.

Will give you more time to go after actual violent felons. Will be a new thing for a lot of cops who have made a career on parkers, movers, pissers, and pot users.
Another liberal open borders puke.....hug a thug, and keep distance from ICE. Get the F out back to LA.
I like Charlie. 🤠
So many of us and millions across America value, respect, honor and appreciate you.
Please accept our gratitude for your selfless sacrifice and know in your hearts that we love you - ONE & ALL
God bless the CPD🙏 & Merry Christmas
Can he really do this reformation in 90 days
====
I would expect that he is compiling a list of police employees who wlll be retiring soon, even if they dont know it yet. Will be touted as some kind of enhanced retirement plan to save money. My guess is few if any with 20 years on the job will be left when the "retirements" are done, especially in leadership positions. Could be a really good time to have taken the sgt or lt test recently. Could be lots of new sgts and lts in the coming year. With lots of outsiders temporarily taking the place of those who retire early.
Expect purge of IAD. might even turn those duties over to the feds or some new entity. Or maybe just all outsiders for IAD.
Beck this and Beck that, Lori this and Lori that.......I’m just here for the insurance.....

That’s been my policy for years. Seriously, it’s fucking weed. When did you ever see that NOT dropped when you went to court?
Umm, Mr. Beck you dummy. You just announced for all our young entrepreneurs to rob marijuana dispensaries since they are a cash business. Well Mr. Beck I would like inform you that dispensaries can accept debit cards reducing the amount of cash taken in by said business. A few only accept debit cards so no cash at all on site. Where do they find guys???
I hear this over and over, We don't want to put non violent offender's in jail.So a Burglar doesn't go to jail ? If you catch a Burglar at home it's a home invasion,Maybe a CSA or Murder.
Hearing narcissistic Margolis is bucking for a big time bump as is trying to curry favor with whomever will get her there.
God help us all !
The stuff with Eddie is about to get dramatically more complicated. Embarrassment and shame(if he has any) are now the least of his worries. Seems like the trusted Frat Brothers are folding like a deck of cards and giving up everything and everyone they know.
It's all smoke and mirrors. I've got this plan I'm working on so pick up your chin off the ground and do some police work. I'm on your side. Ya right. Larry runs the show and the new sup will be Larry's pick, that being a real super pro-gressive left coast doozy. Likely female, a minority and gay if possible. And one that's another stooge for the mayor but with similar values. So any real reforms that are at all seemingly tough on the poor down trodden criminal will be tossed aside as racist. Larry hates ICE, hates cops, they are the problem, Larry welcomes everyone. And remember Larry is supporting Crimella, that alone tells you how much the west coast horse trader will get done. I'd really like to know what kind of deal they gave him, got to be more to it than is being told. Anyway it's all just another chapter in the soap opera, As The Stomach Turns.
Meanwhile Eddie thinks he could be the catalyst to revive the old TV series, Charlie's Angels. Though it will now be called Eddie's Bed Wenches and cast with his wife and side pieces. BET is smiling on the idea. Though at the present time, Rotund Eddie is rapping for the folks in Dubai. Smellit would be proud.
I read the article and it seems that Beck has a lot of common sense. The merit promotions will be back after his tenure when Lightfoot comes to grips with the fact that Caucasians will, for the most part ,outscore minority test takers. I fear that legal weed will compel some people to push the envelope and be smoking it on the streets and Chicago will smell of weed just like Denver. I do believe that taxing the weed is a good idea if the Politicians don't steal the $$$$!
How about a merit free promotion class like Beck proposed!
OT: Why does Ronald Holt support Kim Foxx and blame guns? His 12/24/2019 Sun-Times editorial reflects this. Chris Taliaferro is the same.
Three months is totally inadequate.
Consent decree requires qualified Police Supervisors
No Merit , how about a score of 73% to move on to Part 2.
absolutely nothing under a 70% should be allowed to take part 2.
if there are less than 1500 moving on , we will get police officers that are serious about their careers as Chicago's Finest .
in 4 or 5 years others will be prepared and stay knowing no Merit , political hacks will become supervisors on CPD
If Beck is going to do anything good for the cops, he wouldn't be leaving in 3 months. He's going to escape so he wouldn't have to eat the blow back.
No matter what they "change" now the b.s merit promotions of bosses and politicians kids/friends/neighbor/girlfriend/boyfriend/babysitter,,,,etc,, will always find it's way in. Maybe get rid of filling out your name, race and gender on every written test and only those who actually pass move on. Oh wait, who am I kidding, how are all those special people gonna get what was promised to them
CPD deserves Sergeants that know the job , not the alderman , Sergeants that will be there , not that provide sexual favors .
All Patrolman received the same notifications for a Sgt . Exam , promote the police officers that studied , know the job .
any score under 70% should not be considered passing , Federal Consent Decree wants Qualified Supervisors , so do the citizens of Chicago . No occupation Lawyers , Doctors ,Truck Drivers , Bus Drivers , Carpenters etc allow or issue a license to test takers with under a 70% .
If you only have 500 , use them , show Officers that the Clout , Political ,Merit promotion is over . Time to study , know the job .
Mayor Lightfoot this is your time and Superintendent Beck's time to turn CPD around .
You better sweeten the pie and Keep Charlie around for a year or 2 .
OH just saw another killed when police chased. NOTHING goods happens a chase. Even in the unlikely event you Catholic them nothing will happen to them. I bond and back on the street before your ink is dry. DO NOT CHASE, DO NOT CHASE, DO NOT CHASE. They claim you have to hear somethingood three times before it registers.
Arresting anyone for weed, total waste of time under any circumstance. No charges would be approved, in case you haven't noticed weed is now legal in your fair state. Weed busts guaranteed to jam you up beyond dalvation.
About 60 years ago (1960) Mayor Daley (the first) brought in from California O.W. Wilson to chair a committee to look into appointing a new superintendent following the Summerdale scandal that Timothy O'Conner packing. Low and behold guess who became the superintendent? Dejavu! What's to say the same thing won't happen with Beck.

Back when ow Wilson came on he force rjd to give PO tests every other month, Sgt tests every three months, etc. He exhausted the lists.
OW tripled the size of CPD. Maybe now is a new beginning.

I totally agree, but the department and city hall are too stupid to see that. The excuse is that they want a large pool to choose from, but why not choose from a small pool of top scorer than a large pool of candidates who scored 30- 50%.. A passing score of 70% means that candidates were allowed to get 30 questions wrong. That’s fair enough. But the department, city hall and the FOP still want the curve so that they can take care of the candidates who attended CPS Schools, candidates who loss family members in the line of duty (Goldstar Memorial clout), candidates who are affiliated with the FOP, candidates who blew the whistle on other officers in IAD investigations, Frat and sorority connection, etc, The last dicks test, Rahm had a few of his detail members made. They graduated and went to Areas for one month and were called back to city hall. Yes, there are at least 5 detectives on the mayor’s detail. My point is by the time the list comes out, the “unclouted” are up against a lot.
I hope that Beck and LL change this and make promotions solely on score. Keep merit suspended as long as you can.
Here is another one for you Beck:
20 years on the job to work any inside position (repeating what from another post because it is a smart move)
5 years on the job to be detective
10 years on the job to be sergeant
15 years on the job to be lieutenant
20 years on the job to be captain
and
20 years on the job to be exempt rank
There are far too many cops without experience attempting to lead others, and it obviously is not working. Especially in exempt rank positions. It will also save money, because cops will need to stay on the job longer in order to strive for an exempt position. Meaning they will retire later in age, thus aiding the pension shortage, somewhat.
You need to go back to the old days, when bosses were rewarded with an exempt position after they had 20 or 25 years on the job. Kept cops around for longer periods of time, thus bringing more experience to their new position.
Hey if you are approached by a prostitute and looking for some head, they ask if you want an Eddie Johnson! Thats the best!

If riding the bus it is better to pay while off duty and not let the driver know he/she can call on you when dirt bag gets on bus. As for the trains, well, sounds like you had a Hillary supporter at the ticket booth
To the idiot posting about the chase at 12/24/2019 05:06:00 PM. STFU until you know what your talking about. You are speaking from the position of a dogass, and from the position enlightened by media reports and personal inferences. Your wrong, 100%, unequivocally wrong. There IS a time to chase, and you better know it. You will get hung even harder if you just back off and say screw it, I don't chase. You see, your foolish, uninformed ass just threw a blanket over a couple good coppers casting shadows on good police work, not just good police work, but actual proper, lawful police action, you know, the shit that's required of us. You threw shade at coppers just like the community and the media does. So if you were any kind of a man or woman, sincere and concerned you should post another rant, but this time make it an apology to the officers you just undeservingly disrespected from your uninformed or misinformed position. I won't get into detail on a public forum, but the girl in that car had been kidnapped, or at the very least unlawfully restrained by the offender after they met on a dating site. The victim, WHO WAS ABOUT TO BE RAPED was trying to get free so badly she was being held in by the offender while she was trying to leap out of the car at speeds that may have been lethal. Yes, that's how badly the victim wanted to get away from her captor, and why the officers engaged the offender and stayed in the pursuit as long as they safely could. What if that was your daughter? Would you want them to say I don't chase? Screw her, she must deserve what she got? Put your daughter or your sister in that car. Tell everyone here what you would do or what you would want other coppers to do then. Get informed before you spout off. Your wrong, now apoligize and learn that what the media reports, the politicians spew and the community demands are just vile and uninformed, biased opinions that are meaningless. And now your opinionated ranting fits into the same category.

Yes purge this unit, especially the confidential unit. IAD has some pretty good investigators, but it is and always has been filled with people with connections, not because they know how to investigate anything. And, the final result is closely monitored and controlled especially when it comes to a complaint for someone with clout.

Uncle Terry made his children's babysitter a asst. deputy supt. First a secretary in Organized Crime, then a quota sergeant in detective division, area 1, then a merit lieutenant, then commander of vice and then a ADS. Not bad and a prime example of the clout promotion system of the CPD going back decades. One merit lieutenant came back from a leave of absence to get the promotion and he never even took the exam. He ended up a captain in 007.

How many of us have ever locked up a legit homicide offender?
So all those officer who were doing dope pinches in 011/007 will now go after murderers?
great concept for a tv show.
The department doesnt even try and communicate who is wanted to the public.
But e learning the fake you tube style training is being pushed.
If many of you recall to your academy days at least 3 person per 30 in a class would learn very little (pass with help).
Now picture all these talented officer in front of a monitor with nobody watching them.

The stuff with Eddie is about to get dramatically more complicated. Embarrassment and shame(if he has any) are now the least of his worries. Seems like the trusted Frat Brothers are folding like a deck of cards and giving up everything and everyone they know.

Now the shit birds are trying to shoplift in DuPage County. Surprise l, Fox can't let you go without charging.

They’re finding out rather quickly that they’re not in Crook County anymore. They don’t have Taxwinkle and Kimmie to coddle them there.
My guy at facilities management says they have been tasked with planning and implementing the partial shutdown / mothballing of Homan Square. The back half of the building will be closed up as those units will be shuttered.

When did CTA change their policy and not allow us to ride. Showed my badge and the attendant said they only allowed uniformed officers to ride for free. Clearly not our friends.

Did they change their policy ? Or did she make up her own policy. Anyone else have that problem recently?
Don’t be mistaken, Seiser still runs it!
To 4:25AM:
Years ago to take the test for Sgt. a person had to have 6 months on the job.
To take the test for Detective a person had to have 2 years on the job.
What does that tell you?

Hasn't changed. Ask for a supervisor, just like they would do

**That's bullshit, we work for the City, We do get free rides regardless of work hours!! Ask for a supervisor.
Attn Mayor and Interim Supt
This is your time time to push for the elimination of the
residency requirement for CPD. This will enable the many,
many qualified applicants who are unable or unwilling to reside in
Chicago to be included. This is the time Mayor and interim Supt.
Now is the time to stop fishing solely in the Chicago pond for
police officers. Utilize this opportunity along with dropping merit
promotions to make real changes happen.
Hey 8:31 lighten up. She got away now what you have is cops chasing that ended in fatal crash (glad he's gone as well) BUT city will be sued and ghetto lottery payout coming to family. Is that chase really good Policing? What if he had killed Northern driver or innocent bystander, still good police Work? STOP CHASING!

You’re willing to be called upon because you wanted to save 3 bucks? Guess who the bus driver is looking in the rear view at when ghetto behavior on the bus is out of control. You! Because you’re the police!

When leading the LAPD, Beck says, “we made sure we kept ICE at an appropriate distance.”
Yeah... Heaven forfend any illegals get removed from a sanctuary city now. They might miss a welfare handout in the process. What injustice!
ICE is the bad guy to keep at a distance? How about the criminals illegal with no right to reside in the USA?

Going after NOBLE members? LOL That's about as likely as them going after NOI members.
Yeah but considering 20% already had the test , of course 20% has the best scores
Seriously use Uber or lyft

Because everything blows over in a few days if you are heavy. Daley used to report things on Friday at 5 PM AMand by Monday morning it was all forgotten
No more off old Sarge list , over 500 promoted ,
That is way to many from one test
Results from new test will be out by May
Promotions in June
Nah.
The last Sgts test:
-Part 1 in October
-Part 2 in January
-2 large classes from old list
-Results late July
-First class May
Not this time part 1 has been graded , less than 1500 will move on to take part 2 . You need 70% to move forward . 1st class from new test in June 2020.
