Beck Slaps Lemmer

This is one way to win some friends among the rank-and-file:
  • [Personnel attending CompStat Thursday] enjoyed when Lemmer put up the swiping compliance report (for a district) and Beck ordered him to remove it immediately because police officers “are not factory workers!”
Does someone have the posters that 011 papered the walls and restrooms with when Lemmer was busy making that Hellhole even less desirable to work in? There was also a naked statue with captains bars glued to the testicles and placed outside his window so it was the first thing he saw looking outside.

Well, if this really happened, then on behalf of all working police officers, we say THANK YOU Mr. Beck! And you are exactly right. We are not factory workers. Swiping didn’t change a damm thing regarding the way we work. But what it did do is lower morale and make us feel insignificant. The other problem is many didn’t swipe at all but it was selectively enforced for the cops that have the hardest job. The beat cop going to the 911 calls every day. Swiping has no impact on crime. What a waste of time and paper to be tracking this worthless stat. Typical.

Any legit department would have shown speed racer the door already for the multiple lies, breaking the law and embarrassment he has caused. Unfortunately Riccio doesn’t care about legitimacy he cares about that’s my guy you can’t touch him. The Wod is already smugly letting people know he won.

Hope Beck quickly discovers that Lemm has been the epitome of pencil pusher for entire career and EVERY district he goes to, mass exodus and people have less than 0% respect for him. Dozen cops I can think of simply retired because of his insanity. Worked for him for many years and he was 1 of the top 3 worst bosses ever had. Yet, the promote him, WTF! I am speaking on behalf of more than 100 cops who had same experience, almost as if we echoed same complaints.

If you want any sort of morale back then get off of swiping. We are all here anyways but it brings about an extreme sense of micromanaging and another layer of botching at from the watch Ltd and above which kills morale even more. We come to work, we are at work and we work. Just let us come to work and work and stop restricting us with so much garbage, we’ve got enough to do and enough to worry about. Even though we are at work anyways swiping almost makes it feel as if we are in jail, constantly monitored and constantly under a microscope. Lifting that one small thing off actually goes a long way. If this is true then Kudos to Beck for this because he is absolutely right.. we are not bankers or factory workers and it won’t work.. but they will try to pound it in to try to get it to work which will only effect us eight heir experiments.. it’s it’s gonna be like trying to pound a square peg into a round hole and we are the peg getting hammered in until finally they realize it won’t work and we are the ones effected during its trial.

Not only Lemmer but all of our exempts should be embarrassed. Every time there is a search for a new superintendent, an outsider is always brought in and eventually an outsider is hired! Look at a guy like Riccio. He was scolded like a 3rd grader for going on vacation but he sticks around knowing he isnt even being considered for superintendent and that the new superintendent will bring in their own 1st deputy. For christ sake. Man up and retire . That goes for several exempts. Have some self respect for yourself!

Lemmeroid was likely to roll out monthly some other doozies, like;
Phase Two list would have been a Non Swiping Compliance.
Phase Three slit was going to break down the demographics.

You know I can't even remember the last 2. Who was before Johnson? This shows how little I even care. I do remember Weiss as being pretty good in retrospect. He gave us the 4-2 and a bunch of weapons to choose from. He got a lot of shit for wearing the uniform but the reason he wore it is because Donahue from the FOP advised his that it was ok. Bring back Weiss and tell him I apoliogize for all the bad things I said about him at the time.

Unless and until the mayor lets the Supt (whether Beck or another) run the police department without her sticking her SJW nose in,
NOTHING will change. It’s the attitude of this mayor and her minions that COPS are the problem.
Nope, it’s not the 2800+ shootings, it’s not the 514 murders, and it’s not the gang, and drug cartels running this city.....it’s the COPS!
However, when these cartels and their people/folks start gunning down a few prominent people, or some of the Mag Mike businesses say Enough is Enough, maybe then this mayor, Foxx, Dart, Preckwinkle, the Revs, the alderthieves etc will return some sanity to this town.
Otherwise, we are on the road to Detroit, or worse yet, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle........
You can’t run a city on dead people, criminals and illegals.....all who pay NOTHING into the larder.

Been wondering what is going on with Wodnicki. He's a complete embarrassment and any one of us non merit people would have been stripped pending an investigation. He committed misdemeanor traffic offenses in another state ON duty and lied about it as well as acted like an arrogant idiot to Indiana troopers. Why has Wod not been at least demoted back to his merit service rank of Lt are bare minimum?? This is why we all feel Beck won't change anything and corruption in Chicago will continue.

Today, rumors that were thought too unbelievable to be true came to life. Our own union, the FOP, put forth a proposal TO VIOLATE OUR OWN CONTRACT. This proposal being made BY THE FOP does not have an effect on every member of the department at this time, but will certainly set a precedent that can have an effect on all members in the future. The proposal today involved staffing the Detective Areas after Area 4 and Area 5 open. In their own presentation, they stated THEIR OWN PROPOSAL IS A VIOLATION OF THE CONTRACT, a contract whose purpose is to provide and protect the rights of its members. In summary, the presentation included 3 rounds of bids. The first round would give those who want to go to the new Area 4 and Area 5 a chance to bid based on seniority and also 20% allotted for management. Second Round, EVERYBODY ELSE, would have to bid to a unit, again with 20% allotted for management. This includes, for example, if you are currently assigned to Area 2 and would like to stay there. In this case, a person currently assigned to Area 2 bids to Area 2 and will only remain if they make it by seniority or management. Round 3 would backfill the vacancies created in the areas using reverse seniority to remove units of assignments, another violation of the Contract. This completely undermines the bidding process. Detectives who have successfully bid to their unit of choice using SENIORITY as provided in the Contract, are being told that those bids will no longer be valid. All detectives’ units of assignment and watch selections will be erased, except the few detectives who have bid in the 1 year prior. Those detectives that bid in the 1-year prior will be allowed to keep their assignments, which seems to violate their own “proposal,” but at least those select few are being protected under one of the provisions of the contract the FOP is not VOLUNTARILY VIOLATING. FOP Reps admitted that since they are “voluntarily” agreeing to VIOLATE THE CONTACT, MEMBERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FILE A GRIEVANCE. FOP ADMITS THIS IS NOT THE PROCEDURE PROVIDED FOR IN OUR CONTRACT. FOP argues this is “EASIER” because it does not create a “VACUUM” which would be inconvenient for the City and allow members to file a grievance if they are re-assigned. To put this in perspective and to show what a dangerous precedent they are setting…imagine the 13th District re-opening. In accordance with “past-practices,” the city can successfully argue that EVERY DISTRICT would have to participate in this procedure FOP is calling a “SUPER-BID.” An even worse scenario is imagining what other provisions of the contract FOP can “voluntarily violate” to make situations “easier.” How can we support a union that KNOWINGLY and INTENTIONALLY violates the very Contract that is there to protect us? The FOP’s job is NOT to find what is “EASY.” Their job is to find what is in the “BEST INTEREST” for its members. Perhaps worst of all, THERE WILL BE NO VOTE FOR MEMBERS REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL. Some FOP representatives asked certain watches if members agreed with the idea, which they received a resoundingly negative response. Other FOP representatives simply stated, in summary, “THIS IS THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO VOTE BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS BEST FOR US” with no input from members of the watch. Apparently, the opinion of the members is not something the FOP feels is worth considering. Without a doubt, there is a minority of members that believe this may be the best way and they are entitled to that opinion. However, it cannot be denied, A UNION THAT VIOLATES ITS OWN MEMBERS’ RIGHTS, IS NOT A UNION MEMBERS SHOULD SUPPORT. Although it is not the first time in recent memory, it seems the FOP has AGAIN forgotten that their responsibility is to protect its members and not to provide what is easiest for the city and/or FOP Representatives

Good, because it’s also bad for morale. It’s only enforced on a few. It keeps the “CPD double standard” alive and well. The bosses special people don’t have to do it, while the lowly beat cop going to 911 calls has to. It has to be for everyone or no one at all. It also diminishes the importance and professionalism of being a police officer. Hopefully the rumor is true. Beck for Supt.!

What in the world kind of management style is this? Praise in public, critique in private. That’s supposed to be most effective. Here at cpd, they call you up in front of all your peers and just berate and try to nit pick and embarrass you the best they can. It’s just bullshit. If Lemmer or any boss had an issue with mass transit, how bout stopping over there and talking to the cmdr there. Or picking up a phone and telling that cmdr she needs to make changes etc. I personally don’t care for a lot of the bosses, but to think this is how our top brass is managed just shows how F’d up our department is.

Just came out today that the swiping policy has not changed and all members are to remain compliant. A detailed swiping compliance audit is being conducted and people not in regular compliance face discipline. I assume regular compliance means swiping most of the time. They got wind some people aren't swiping and are looking to whack the habitual refusers. Until it gets undone, they are going to discipline people. Lemmer and his goons are going to make sure of it and Beck can't do shit about enforcing current policy already in place. It either gets undone or its enforcable and the memo today is a warning the audit is underway or soon coming.

Today, rumors that were thought too unbelievable to be true came to life. Our own union, the FOP, put forth a proposal TO VIOLATE OUR OWN CONTRACT. This proposal being made BY THE FOP does not have an effect on every member of the department at this time, but will certainly set a precedent that can have an effect on all members in the future. The proposal today involved staffing the Detective Areas after Area 4 and Area 5 open. In their own presentation, they stated THEIR OWN PROPOSAL IS A VIOLATION OF THE CONTRACT, a contract whose purpose is to provide and protect the rights of its members. In summary, the presentation included 3 rounds of bids. The first round would give those who want to go to the new Area 4 and Area 5 a chance to bid based on seniority and also 20% allotted for management. Second Round, EVERYBODY ELSE, would have to bid to a unit, again with 20% allotted for management. This includes, for example, if you are currently assigned to Area 2 and would like to stay there. In this case, a person currently assigned to Area 2 bids to Area 2 and will only remain if they make it by seniority or management. Round 3 would backfill the vacancies created in the areas using reverse seniority to remove units of assignments, another violation of the Contract. This completely undermines the bidding process. Detectives who have successfully bid to their unit of choice using SENIORITY as provided in the Contract, are being told that those bids will no longer be valid. All detectives’ units of assignment and watch selections will be erased, except the few detectives who have bid in the 1 year prior. Those detectives that bid in the 1-year prior will be allowed to keep their assignments, which seems to violate their own “proposal,” but at least those select few are being protected under one of the provisions of the contract the FOP is not VOLUNTARILY VIOLATING. FOP Reps admitted that since they are “voluntarily” agreeing to VIOLATE THE CONTACT, MEMBERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FILE A GRIEVANCE. FOP ADMITS THIS IS NOT THE PROCEDURE PROVIDED FOR IN OUR CONTRACT. FOP argues this is “EASIER” because it does not create a “VACUUM” which would be inconvenient for the City and allow members to file a grievance if they are re-assigned. To put this in perspective and to show what a dangerous precedent they are setting…imagine the 13th District re-opening. In accordance with “past-practices,” the city can successfully argue that EVERY DISTRICT would have to participate in this procedure FOP is calling a “SUPER-BID.” An even worse scenario is imagining what other provisions of the contract FOP can “voluntarily violate” to make situations “easier.” How can we support a union that KNOWINGLY and INTENTIONALLY violates the very Contract that is there to protect us? The FOP’s job is NOT to find what is “EASY.” Their job is to find what is in the “BEST INTEREST” for its members. Perhaps worst of all, THERE WILL BE NO VOTE FOR MEMBERS REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL. Some FOP representatives asked certain watches if members agreed with the idea, which they received a resoundingly negative response. Other FOP representatives simply stated, in summary, “THIS IS THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO VOTE BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS BEST FOR US” with no input from members of the watch. Apparently, the opinion of the members is not something the FOP feels is worth considering. Without a doubt, there is a minority of members that believe this may be the best way and they are entitled to that opinion. However, it cannot be denied, A UNION THAT VIOLATES ITS OWN MEMBERS’ RIGHTS, IS NOT A UNION MEMBERS SHOULD SUPPORT. Although it is not the first time in recent memory, it seems the FOP has AGAIN forgotten that their responsibility is to protect its members and not to provide what is easiest for the city and/or FOP Representatives

Beck has all of you fooled. He has been working on a more intense CompStat which will be Initiated very shortly and will include POS. It is being developed by Malinowski but that’s Becks friend so right now he wants him to look as a hero as he is an applicant for Supt. So before you extoll Beck do a little research into Malinowski as well as his contracts with the City and his input into the consent decree. Malinowski is a snake who has very little credibility with the rank and file of LAPD. Malinowski will bring 2 Deputy Chiefs from LAPD with him and introduce a Department disciplinarian. Malinowski has no clue of the CPD. He will bring down our culture and tradition. Not good.

What in the world kind of management style is this? Praise in public, critique in private. That’s supposed to be most effective. Here at cpd, they call you up in front of all your peers and just berate and try to nit pick and embarrass you the best they can. It’s just bullshit. If Lemmer or any boss had an issue with mass transit, how bout stopping over there and talking to the cmdr there. Or picking up a phone and telling that cmdr she needs to make changes etc. I personally don’t care for a lot of the bosses, but to think this is how our top brass is managed just shows how F’d up our department is.

The issue is.....she has been down as the subject of Compstat twice before because of crime getting out of hand. She spouted some of the same shit she did in the past, which didn't work. Third time is the charm. She was brought down......again......because she really has no plan. It was priceless when the "decrease in the increase" came up again and Waller had the balls to defend her. But then again, she was in his inner circle.

This is what happens when you promote fraternity brothers and sisters who are incompetent. Interesting that Waller's wife got re-assigned to 701 before the housecleaning began, so Sam could protect her.

Discipline?
It hasn't been 100% compliant since day 1 of just swiping in, less on swiping in AND out.
If not enforced 100% across every district, unit and HQ it has no weight.

Nice try. They’d have to discipline 10,000 police officers and supervisors. If they only target a select few they are opening themselves up for EEOC complaints. Any lawyer can get the entire departments swipe reports and ask why only his clients were disciplined? Besides, remember bosses never punish their friends. There’s nothing written regarding discipline and describing what percentage is considered “compliant.”

Police work son, isn't a 9 to 5 job. It changes, ebbs and flows. The changes based upon the seasons, gang conflicts and current police saturation.

Some days you work a little over....your sgt would ask "hey, don't turn in a slip and I'll take care of you tomorrow, or on your Friday".

It built bonds, cohesion, a connection that we all look out for each other. I'll give today, take mine tomorrow.

That very long rant by a detective complaining about the bidding process must have heard what he didn’t want to hear. Most of what he posted is wrong. What was said is that the city wants the easiest solution not that the FOP wants the easiest process. There is still no agreement on how these areas will be filled. What is true is that if there were an agreement between the FOP and the city on how this will be decided then individual detectives can’t file grievances. It doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a contract violation.

All true regarding the "bidding" when Area 4 and 5 re-open. If the FOP were to even consider a superbid or any bidding process that null and voids a contractual bid spot, it would open the door for the city to take away assinged bid spots for "man power" issues in the future throughout the department. FOP must not allow the city to dictate assignments and bids whenever it suits the city. Bidding for an assigned spot that one is already assigned completely throws away any bidding power officers currently have. The FOP would be giving away the rights of its members.

What’s with the Wodnicki hate? He’s a great boss and he always took care of his workers. If you were a piece of crap he’d counsel you over and over because he hated to SPAR anyone. Yet now you talk shit? That’s a bunch of B.S.

1/17/2020 08:19:00 AM

I guess you missed him fleeing from Indiana police in his Chicago police vehicle, along with the lies he told to attempt to cover it up. You're an oblivious idiot. This isn't about workers or SPARs. This is about his recent actions that should have no other consequence than him being fired immediately. Yet he remains, as a commander, making a shitload of money he doesn't deserve. Compare his antics to some of the people working at callback. They're worried about being fired for far less serious transgressions. Clouted weasel has no worries, and idiots like you to defend him. Wake up.

Today, rumors that were thought too unbelievable to be true came to life. Our own union, the FOP, put forth a proposal TO VIOLATE OUR OWN CONTRACT. This proposal being made BY THE FOP does not have an effect on every member of the department at this time, but will certainly set a precedent that can have an effect on all members in the future. The proposal today involved staffing the Detective Areas after Area 4 and Area 5 open. In their own presentation, they stated THEIR OWN PROPOSAL IS A VIOLATION OF THE CONTRACT, a contract whose purpose is to provide and protect the rights of its members. In summary, the presentation included 3 rounds of bids. The first round would give those who want to go to the new Area 4 and Area 5 a chance to bid based on seniority and also 20% allotted for management. Second Round, EVERYBODY ELSE, would have to bid to a unit, again with 20% allotted for management. This includes, for example, if you are currently assigned to Area 2 and would like to stay there. In this case, a person currently assigned to Area 2 bids to Area 2 and will only remain if they make it by seniority or management. Round 3 would backfill the vacancies created in the areas using reverse seniority to remove units of assignments, another violation of the Contract. This completely undermines the bidding process. Detectives who have successfully bid to their unit of choice using SENIORITY as provided in the Contract, are being told that those bids will no longer be valid. All detectives’ units of assignment and watch selections will be erased, except the few detectives who have bid in the 1 year prior. Those detectives that bid in the 1-year prior will be allowed to keep their assignments, which seems to violate their own “proposal,” but at least those select few are being protected under one of the provisions of the contract the FOP is not VOLUNTARILY VIOLATING. FOP Reps admitted that since they are “voluntarily” agreeing to VIOLATE THE CONTACT, MEMBERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FILE A GRIEVANCE. FOP ADMITS THIS IS NOT THE PROCEDURE PROVIDED FOR IN OUR CONTRACT. FOP argues this is “EASIER” because it does not create a “VACUUM” which would be inconvenient for the City and allow members to file a grievance if they are re-assigned. To put this in perspective and to show what a dangerous precedent they are setting…imagine the 13th District re-opening. In accordance with “past-practices,” the city can successfully argue that EVERY DISTRICT would have to participate in this procedure FOP is calling a “SUPER-BID.” An even worse scenario is imagining what other provisions of the contract FOP can “voluntarily violate” to make situations “easier.” How can we support a union that KNOWINGLY and INTENTIONALLY violates the very Contract that is there to protect us? The FOP’s job is NOT to find what is “EASY.” Their job is to find what is in the “BEST INTEREST” for its members. Perhaps worst of all, THERE WILL BE NO VOTE FOR MEMBERS REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL. Some FOP representatives asked certain watches if members agreed with the idea, which they received a resoundingly negative response. Other FOP representatives simply stated, in summary, “THIS IS THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO VOTE BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS BEST FOR US” with no input from members of the watch. Apparently, the opinion of the members is not something the FOP feels is worth considering. Without a doubt, there is a minority of members that believe this may be the best way and they are entitled to that opinion. However, it cannot be denied, A UNION THAT VIOLATES ITS OWN MEMBERS’ RIGHTS, IS NOT A UNION MEMBERS SHOULD SUPPORT. Although it is not the first time in recent memory, it seems the FOP has AGAIN forgotten that their responsibility is to protect its members and not to provide what is easiest for the city and/or FOP Representatives

Actually, it really is great being a dic. In my opinion way better than when I was in patrol. OT for us is still plentiful and there is still a way.. there is ALWAYS a way. Now excuse me, I’ll be heading to work soon where I don’t have a collar and leash tied to me.. will prob stop home until I get a job.. if I get a job in this weather, and go out with the guys for a nice dinner somewhere in the city... doesn’t really matter.. north, south, east or west.. doesn’t really matter at all. No be sure to clear that job right away or your sgt will be there waiting for that reprimand or meet. I don’t even really know if I have a sgt at all!!! Bad mouth it all you want, but the reality of how we have it, swiping or not is a beautiful beautiful thing.

Regarding the realignment of the Detective Division, if the city eliminates Area North, South and Central, then they have to open it up to a super bid. The city is thus eliminating a unit Areas North, South, and Central and creating New ones, Areas 1,2,3,4,5 thus it has to be done via Super Bid.

How about getting a unused car for an hour, until the regular car comes in? Or get a ride to relieve the other crew so they can go home?

Just wasn't speeding............was fleeing and eluding....wouldn't stop. In Cook County they usually don't prosecute, but other law following jurisdictions, they don't play around.
And should be fired for the Rule 14 where he told the Department a different story.

Wodnicki is a stroke. He doesn't know our department orders, but he does know politics and Riccio.

He was using a department vehicle in Indiana, most likely for personal business because he certainly was not on police business. He was talking on a cellphone, again not for police business. Indiana police put on their emergency equipment. Wodnicki kept driving and did not pull over. Indiana police pulled alongside him to tell him to pull over. While illegally talking on the phone, he just waved at them. They had to set up spike strips further down the road and then he finally pulled over.

He has no class. The Wod can't complete one sentence without saying the F word. Have you ever talked to him or heard him speak to a roll call? Total stroke.

He takes care of his people? That's right. He does. He takes care of HIS people but no one else. And a good boss is not one who "takes care of you." It's a guy who knows the orders, has been-there-done-that, mentors everyone not just "his" people, keeps you out of trouble, and shows you how to do things the right way on this job. Someone who is fair and not a tool.

If standards are supposed to be higher for police officers, then the standards for command, exempt staff should be even higher for them to be legitimate.

Oh Please, stop the damn whining. You aren't going to do anything on the streets anyway. No wait, you sound like a complete fool so you probably will be out there gathering up illegal ISR's, as you clearly haven't got a clue about a damn thing. I say you sit in the station and await the arrival of your car so you can get a coffee, then gas, then lunch, then PCI, then personal, then bus check and park check, oh wow, look at the time, it's time to swipe out.

Hey jagballs, how about taking them on a pursuit, running lights/sirens not even in your secondary jurisdiction but out of state. I like Wodnicki as a person, but others have gotten fired for a hell of a lot less. The department will throw "Bringing Discredit to the Department" around just to get people, this is the time it is warranted.
