Long Delayed Reorganization

Let's see if Groot and Beck delay the announcement now:
  • Looks like (from all accounts) Friday will be the day for the reorganization announcement. Whats old, will be new again

    Superintendent with direct reports from Deputy Superintendent of BIA (currently Chief of IAD) and General Counsel to the Superintendent.

    1st Deputy with direct reports from four Deputy Superintendents (Currently Chief of Patrol, OCD, D Unit and Organizational Development).

    Chiefs (currently a Deputy Chief position) will report to the Deputy Superintendents. There will be Chiefs in each Patrol Area and other Units including CAPS.

    All Deputy Chief positions will be eliminated including street bosses.
We have something even bigger, but looking for confirmation on the whole list. Might take a few days.

Who then went on to not only disgrace the job, but bordered on illegal and criminal in their private transgressions.

Didn't we go through all these "improvement" changes when MC Streetlights was Superintendent? Now, we are going to set up CPD like LAPD, instead of NY. Lots of Sabre rattling here, and no real change. Is the merit system really dead, or just on hold? If you are just going to re arrange the brass that have been merit promoted in recent years, there is going to be no change. There needs to be MAJOR calls for resignations that will shock and Awe the brass. I believe all the merit brass is just nodding their heads, and just hitting any port in this shit storm until it weathers over. I say fire any bosses under investigation for a start, and call for the resignation of the majority of them. Then, and only then will the rank and file believe there is going to be any change.

Granted, you won't be sharing paper with 12 other guys on a few bag PCS arrest...it'll YOU and/or you & a partner doing all the work, but still not so bad. Get used to a "shitty" position and theres nothing bosses or the dept can do to you. No threats of losing your spot if you don't make your boss look good. Learned this years ago after watching Good officers get passed over for spots, given to the ass kissers who simply drank the Koolaid and blindly followed directions. This dept has NO room and Abhors independent thinking.

Go arrest a hype dealing on the street corner for delivery of .1 g of dope and then drive you UC car home, but stay on the clock for the next 14 hours. These jackasses are half the reason that swiping exists. Plus, it is quite obvious that the ASA and society in general do not care about the petty dope user or seller, in fact these SJWs feel sorry for them. There is no reason that patrol should be lacking bodies while 100s of able bodied officers scam away at OCD. It should not be eliminated but definitely downsized significantly.

An investigator for the now-abolished Independent Police Review Authority was accused Thursday of concealing “material” information about a police shooting, improperly communicating sensitive details to the victim’s family and seeking a referral fee in exchange for connecting the family with an attorney.
Inspector General Joe Ferguson’s quarterly report says the shooting happened Nov. 23, 2016, but does not identify the investigator or the shooting victim. The date coincides with the fatal police shooting of 19-year-old Kajaun Raye near 65th Street and Marshfield Avenue in West Englewood.
“A responding Chicago Police Department officer provided sensitive information, such as the potential location of the weapon, as well as photographs, to the then-investigator regarding the shooting,” the inspector general’s report states.

“On the same date, the investigator provided the victim’s home address to an acquaintance at the National Attorney Referral Service, then arranged and attended a meeting between that representative, an attorney and the victim’s family.”

The investigator “never informed anyone” at IPRA of contact with the attorney service or the victim’s family, “waited four days” to inform IPRA of the material information received from the police officer and “repeatedly called” the victim’s family during the investigation, the report states.

Why would you deny good press of the CPD? Beck do you see what type of people are in Command? Cudos to the officer for not making it bigger and leaving with his head up.

1/16/2020 08:47:00 AM

Its identity? Well, I go back to the late 60's and CPD was a very good organization and did good work, even though it was hampered by archaic policies and political interference. But, Richie M. Daley took the political interference to new heights when he got the federal court to agree to " merit" promotions in the early 90's. Sergeants came back from leaves of absence to make merit, sergeants who never took the lieutenant's exam made merit. It was a crime and has continued to this day. Now, just about the entire exempt staff is totally merit, never passing a promotional exam based on policy and procedures. Even the detective's exam , which was primarily from the criminal laws and text books on criminal investigation was revised to drop any questions from any text books. The job was dumbed down. They even had separate quotas for black women and other women. That is the " identity" of CPD. You might not liked the FBI and NYPD bosses, but they did attempt to bring fresh ideas to CPD. Now, let Beck do his thing. This might be the once chance in a generation to really make this department fair to the young people currently serving. I was tired of working for dumb hacks and people who did not have a clue but who had clout. I saw many people come back from a leave to take a merit promotion who were sponsored by people they never worked for. Not one exempt ever stood up and spoke out about the corrupt system as they all benefited from it. HQ was loaded with the clouted, many civilians and officers taking home cars and thumbing their noses at the rest of us. That is the " identity" of CPD.

She has given the free shit army free water, no booting so no handicapped parking enforcement, elimination of red light collections by the clerk, ability to smoke dope openly and in cars, ability to shoplift without persecution, libraries open on weekends for piss bums, free marijuana social equity licenses and free money for dope heads, and on and on and on.

Sorry officer but your are wrong.I have a desk bid spot and there are days
when I probably do more reports then you do in a month.Not including
bonding,answering numerous phone calls and getting people ready for court
while the civilians just are constantly asking questions on how to do things.So don’t make comments
that you no nothing about.They should give you 3 extra beats to patrol since you seem

There was a beat down today at Comp-Stat. I am not in favor of the way the commander got treated, but she did not do herself any favors with her answers. Then you have Waller praising her after the beat down, which is it good or bad. Sitting there, we all know Waller and the commander are friends, but if the job is not getting done then be truthful to your friend. Commander surround yourself with smarter people that Intel guy was a joke, did he even know where he was. I think there will be some changes in that unit.

Maybe. But Lem is a tool. Very easy to beat people down after the fact when you have a team of police officers, sgt and a Lt running numbers, stats etc AFTER the fact. Here’s and idea. If the officers running all those numbers and slides are so smart - have them hit the streets and show us all what we should be doing. After all. They signed up to be the police. Not data analysts. He wants to know why crime is up on CTA ? Has he been paying attention in the last 5 years. Policing is dead. They all hate us. Put the families of theses asshole committing the crimes up at Comp Stat and ask THEM what they are doing to solve the problem? Here on thing never mentioned at Comp Stat. POLICE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM

This is exactly what’s wrong with the CPD. You have a commander over promoted because she or he is supposedly friends with Waller or Johnson. Friendships are what qualifies a promotion? Merit bosses never know the orders, policy or how to lead because they don’t have to. They know they will be promoted anyway. That’s why Lightfoot can never have an insider as the Supt ever again.

People on management and inside positions are being told by the commanders cronies aka 150babe that they have to spend $60 because the commander will be upset if they don’t go. Sounds like someone isn’t being very ethical.

Did they think the inside spots and management spots were free. No time on, take spots from officers with more seniority and now they complain.

Just like having a States Attorney on a ride along, we know nothing negative will happen. By the way is that Officer still in call back? Did the Officer get indicted for that DUI stop? How many lawsuits did that Officer become involved in? All due to a DUI that the Officer rushed through the process. No allegation of brutality or a money beef on the arrest. There is no reason for the media being in a Police facility.

I'm paying attention. Most districts that aren't complete shitholes are short-staffed, and have been for years. Meanwhile, people in various citywide units complain about how their special phone call spot isn't so special anymore. Go back to a district. That's where officers are needed. Narcotics is unnecessary and ineffective. You haven't made a dent in the drug trade or the violence and property crimes connected to it. You can't... especially not in crook county. Disband all these ridiculous units and special teams, and send everyone back to the districts that need manpower. Show us how special you are by bringing your skillset to the districts. Or shut the fuck up with your whining and complaining. No one gives a shit if your special unit doesn't have enough special people. If you don't have enough backup, don't get yourself into shit you can't handle. It's not like you're being dispatched to jobs with no backup. You're creating your own unsafe situations. If someone is forcing you into unsafe situations, refuse and/or file a grievance. Oh, you don't want to lose your spot or piss off your phone call? A bunch of egotistical, entitled crybabies. Save it.

This officer is 100 percent out of his mind and full of himself to begin with. Guess what, as an officer in the building I don’t want a news crew in our station either. A self important guy who thinks his retirement is news worthy then he hires his own private video guy so he can then send the tape to the news outlets so they can run a story with his own video. Dude, just retire and live another life besides being a cop. This job is what defines you which is wrong. Go on vacation or something, get out of the city and never think of this job again. Nobody cares about your retirement more than others. GREAT Officer... much better officers than you retire everyday and they go away humbly and quietly.. those are the great ones. Not the ones trying to make the big splash. If the commander did nix this then well done, no need to turn a simple cake and coffee into a sideshow. It’s supposed to be for fellow officers and family to come and say farewell. If you bring in a news crew then what’s next for the next guy retiring?? Strippers? Jugglers? Circus clowns? Go away and have a drink on a nice long warm vacation away from this hell hole burial ground.

Melenials are not this entittled, It’s cake and coffee at a district not the prom.

Now that sounds more like 025. What a fucking clown. Just retire and move on without trying to suck your own dick on the news on your way out the door. Is he planning a post-retirement 200 arrest party at Frankie's Place?

Make all the exempts take a Lt. Test . The top 50 scores stay in place and play musical chairs , than go back and take the top 50 Lt from score and promote them to exempt after re-test . Time for a shake up and the hiring of some people that know the orders . Don’t worry , the cheaters will not remember the answers to the test anyway and you know they destroyed any test answers they had , just in case there was a SW on their houses !

Enough stupidity running the Dept. the funniest part of the merit process , is that those promoted meritorious start to believe they are smart !

Keep believing that you are special. My partner and I came in with better dope arrests back in the 90's, just two guys, no ten people jumping on paper. And a good portion of the watch was doing the same back then. You ain't that special.

I'm not a fan of promotion parties and I really dont like paying $60 for a ticket to celebrate someone else getting a pay raise. That being said, tonight's $60 was the best money I've spent in a while. I didn't see another boss except Yolanda, but i ran into some of the best coppers I've worked with over the last 25 years. If you went, it was good seeing you. If you didn't, your loss. .

Great officers showed up but yolanda was never a great officer, maybe average but not a dog

Well maybe. But you may find it a bit disconcerting to go back to; two weeks off a year, lower pay, having to report to some idiot in his 20's etc. etc.

How true! It is a shock after a career as a police officer to end up in private industry, and unless you really have something going for you, two week vacations, maybe punching in and out, no comp time, little sick time, and a boss that actually wants you to produce every day and who just might micro manage you. I went into private industry as a manager and I was shocked at how people are treated in some companies. And, I can tell you, that if you head for private security, unless you are up there in the ranks, they do not like retired cops. They think that you are too rough and not people orientated and customer friendly. Save your deferred comp and when you retire play golf or go fishing. The hell with a 2nd career.

"Narcotics is short over 50 officers. It’s a concern for officers safety at this point. Is anyone paying attention to this?"

Lol, what a joke! The post after that starts "I'm paying attention..." nailed it right on the head. Narcotics doesn't need more officers, it DOES need to be dissolved. Anyone should look at the arrest reports of these "teams" You guys should be embarrassed! I've seen 2 partners on beat cars bring in more impressive arrests over the years. There'll be 15 guys on a 1 cb# 59 year old few bags of heroin arrest. No foot chases, no weeks of watching a spot, no major international drug ring brought down! 1 old dude. Laughable. Like the poster said. You create your own safety issues if you have teams with so many people on them.

Rumor of the day is all exempt members will be issued state of the art self operating vehicles in an effort to decrease the number of sexual harassment lawsuits...

Update: The city will be creating a new department of "Exempt Autonomous Vehicles" Fully staffed with Techs who will download reports from the vehicles daily to ensure no sexual harrassment to said vehicles took place. In addition, a Union is in the works to represent these autonomous vehicles. The city stated that these measures are necessary due to the long standing untrustworthiness of Chicago police officers. Stay tuned...

"Funny how a lot of you have the time and age on the job to retire but you’re holding on for what???
Because you’re greedy as fuck. You need to make like a tree and leave before you get tossed out. There’s plenty of opportunities out there that await you. Apply yourself, oh wait you’re not use to any of that working shit. Everything wS handed to you over and over and over and over again . Karma is a Bitch. Did you think you were going to keep winning and having all the glory? At the end of the day, the elephant in the room is that you got over for years.

They can’t retire. They spent too many years on the job being sitting ducks and making no investments. Twenty-five years and more and they’re still arguing over lockers, desks and beat car assignments. Sucking up the special employment and trying to get out of debt..when they should be finding away to get off of this job."

You have no idea what you are talking about, the vast majority have a large 401K, investments and still pay for their kids in college etc. I have 24 on and very few of my friends in my era fit your description at all, have a nice career. Oh and btw most of us are winning on this job even in todays climate!!!

Malinowski is a tool. Beck is wrong for bringing him along to every meeting. Unfortunately it looks like this scam artist will be the next Supt even though the IG should look at his antics. Look at the money he charges for consulting. If by chance he doesn’t make Supt the new Supt should cut off all ties with this scam artist who is a political academic and not a cop

Also Commander 2nd secretary L. R.ran and called Commander about video guy.This Department Needs a Enema.And Congrats New 025th District Commander You fit Right In

Officer in question no doubt called the news himself. Dont talk sh$t about all these people. BC has to be the center of attention at all times. Get a life and go retire in peace and quiet, your days of singing at the top of your lungs like an assclown in the station are done

Sorry officer but your are wrong.I have a desk bid spot and there are days
when I probably do more reports then you do in a month.Not including
bonding,answering numerous phone calls and getting people ready for court
while the civilians just are constantly asking questions on how to do things.So don’t make comments that you no nothing about.They should give you 3 extra beats to patrol since you seem
to have a lot of down time

You are paid to be a Police Officer not a clerk. A fifth grader can do that job and ask a lot of questions that is what we want a civilian to do so they can do the job. Hit the street.

Why you hating on desk people who are in a bid spot. We all know that first chance you get you will bid for an opening. You may be pissed that you will have to wait another 25 years but you have something to look forward to when you get tired knees an aching back and a bad attitude. Find a good partner and laugh everyday you are out there.

Yeah that’s right he got a bullet in him due to the incompetence of a certain merit Sgt Leo A, quite possibly one of the biggest goofs you could ever meet. Yes Ryan is quiet cause he has nothing to worry about & will be taken care of. Just look out for his partner Z.P. Complete douche who thinks he’s all that. Maybe he’s be a good pairing w/ Off_Aggz

Any unit or team that bitches about being short manpower and creating "officer safety" issues, how about try being a 99 beat car on second watch in 011 or 015. No, didn't think so. Shut up. Like someone above said, don't get your 5 man team into situations you can't handle. Yes, we're on 2nd, 99, by choice. Can get crazy domestics etc with any call, and only a few other 99 units available for "backup". THAT situation is a REAL safety concern which seems to never be addressed. Not some unnecessary smoke & mirror unit. And No, never had a desire to go to your units to escape the beat cars...I'd be embarrassed being on some of the arrests you come in with your other 10 paper jumpers. No thanks, I'll stick to being the real police, what I signed up for.
