800 and Growing

  • About 6% of the entire Chicago Police Department was on sick leave Monday as the COVID-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on city operations.

    More than 800 Chicago police employees — most of them sworn officers, though some civilians as well — were out sick with wide-ranging ailments, but the increased numbers also were likely due to employees who took time off for precautionary measures due to the coronavirus, CPD officials said.
And then this fantasy number again:
  • The department has more than 13,000 sworn officers and several hundred more civilian employees.
Who keeps spreading this number around? We haven't had over 12,000 since the Clinton money ran out around 2000. Now we're supposed to believe it's over 13,000? Someone has been smoking the airport stash of surrendered weed again.

We've heard OEMC is already cancelling 4th and 5th Period furloughs in preparing for the worst case scenario.

12 hour days without days off won’t last. 12 hour days in the past always had a time frame. NATO. Cubs. Hell. Even the 68 democratic convention. Do these assholes from the city and department expect us to work 12 hour days without days off? Do how long? I have 18 months to go. Can’t wait to get the hell off this job

In my District I can see the difference between real medical cases and the abusers. The medical roll is not growing with new real cases. It appears PO's have found the new key words to tell the medical section why there are going on the medical roll. Good job Officers going on the medical roll. This is causing all of us possible go to a 12hr day or DOG's cancelled. Do the job to took a oath to do or go work at McDonald's.

Maybe lightfoot, and beck need to start listening to someone who actually understands how covid is transmitted. The director of the Chicago board of health is a science denier who is just trying to cover for lightfoots incompetence for not having any supplies of Ppe. She has told cpd they don't need a n95 mask unless the guy you are arresting has a feaver and is coughing/ sneezing. Don't listen to Lori or beck because they are lying to you to cover their incompetence. Lori and JB are telling us it's someone else's fault but it always is.

Why does this discussion of the numbers continue to come up? This has been answered so many time already. When the city or department talks about “police officers” this includes EVERY sworn member; police officers, sergeants, lieutenants, captains and sworn exempts (Charlie isn’t a sworn Chicago police officer so he isn’t included). Simple math shows approximately 12,000 plus 1260 sergeants and you are at 13,200. It is very basic. Now add the remaining sworn ranks and you are mid 13’s. The total number is continually fluctuating but remains in excess of 13,000. To the simpletons who continue to think that the term “police officer” only refers to blue shits, talk to Commander Paul Bauer’s family. That should be enough to get you out of the archaic thinking of just what is meant by the term “police officer.” So can we now please move on?

You can hardly blame people for hitting the medical. No real protection, idiots still making arrests that should now be left alone, idiots infecting other idiots, arrestees spitting at will on tact jocks and other Gun-ho flakes, the lobbies still open, the union doing their best sleeping meme imitation. Read about one person, no signs at all, then dead two days later. It's scary stuff. No one wants that to happen or even worse to bring it home to their wife, kids or parents. The coronavirus has killed more than 3,000 Americans, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University, with the US death toll Doubling in a period of only 3 days. A senior member of the White House Covid-19 task force and head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the virus could continue to pose problems even into the fall – warning of a possible second outbreak. But don't worry the airlines and banks will get a nice bail out, the billionaires will be okay. Thank God for that!

Then there’s that 13,000...what’s that, 8,000 blue shirts which means about 3,000 citywide assigned to Beats actually working 24/7 responding to radio assignments?

The more Beat personnel that get sick and go on the medical, will more sworn administrative clerk stenographers be de-moused?
Shocking. Frightening. Terrifying.

Can’t be without the police yes or no ?
Wonder why they’re testing 1st Responders, just to deter going on the medical?
The medical is not just for covid’s 19.
The city wants to put the kibosh on those Exposure Reports and keep Medical Roll to a minimum.
But will the MultiMerit Command reach into those sworn administrative clerical spots to replenish the sick absentees?

Frumpy Larri knows that we could be a weekend or two away until there’s no police left to thwart any widespread, all out pillaging.

Coppers in NYC say they get one mask per shift. Someone on The Rant suggested buying a phone sanitizer as it can sanitize a phone to make it 99% germ free. The idea is that it might be able to do the same to the mask. No water involved and UV light is known to kill viruses. Get a cigarette lighter car inverter so can plug it in the car. Can sanitize a phone in 5 min, and a mask in 10 min (separately). Buy some alcohol wipes to wipe down the outside of the case so no cross contaminate of phone and mask again. Might be worth trying as you can bet no one from the city or the union will do a thing. A poster remarked that the city said Ground Zero was safe too. Can't believe a word they say. Nor can one believe Larry, Beck or the merit fools either.

Please calm down everyone!
The news outlets are misrepresenting the number of officers that called off sick.
At any given time there are approximately 700-800 officers on the medical for various systems/procedures etc;
800 officers did not call in sick yesterday. If that were true that would put the total number of officers on the medical
around 1500 - approximately 20% of the work force.
I wish those in charge would clarify this to the troops to prevent a panic.
In the meantime wash your hands, stay 6 feet apart, remain in your car and most importantly keep your video streaming services up to date
It’s going to a long second half of the year.

Stay safe!

Don’t blame Larri or JBee, it’s the laxity of the President Donald J Trump, everyday doing little.
Sent JBee the wrong masks. Let’s see the requisition large boy. That incompetent staff you so eloquently call Your Team probably didn’t specify. So what did JBee do with the surgical masks he received? Threw them out.

Watch how the city will try and downplay that 800 sick. Don’t expect it to be a concern at today’s Live with JayBee n’ Larri’ (Jake and The Fat Man, BJ and The Bear, Ren and Stimpy), the daily By Invitation Only press conferences and only prescreened questions are answered.

(Larri) Accuses CDC of Spreading Panic -
(https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2020/2/26/21154698/coronavirus-covid-19-cdc-lightfoot-chicago)

“We feel very well prepared to address this issue. And I don’t want people to take from the comments … at the federal level that, somehow, they should be worried and that we’re not prepared in this city. We absolutely are prepared.”
Lightfoot noted that, so far, there have been only two cases of coronavirus in the Chicago area.
“But I want to make sure that people understand they should continue to go about their normal lives... I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves and suggest to the public that there’s a reason for them to be fearful...But we need people to continue to go about their daily lives. I want to emphasize in particular that Chinatown is safe.”

Tune changed. Panic is paramount.
We could have 10,000 polices hospitalized, but they’re going to have to give up those beds for the sake of sanctuary.

But to answer your nonsense, we took an oath to enforce the law. Not to contract a virus because of improper procedures and insufficient equipment and then spread said virus to our children. So have fun with that Captain America.

The mayor in a grand show of unity trotted out the CFD Commissioner Edsel Ford, The President of CFD Local 2 Jim “4 Fingers” Tracy, the President of the police officers Lodge Graham Cracker for a press conference today.

The mayor understands that the city’s first responders are concerned about bringing this virus home to their families. Their spouses, their children, their beloved family members.

The mayor shared the stage with presidents of labor unions????
T’wasnt that long ago the mayor called a union official a clown into a hot mike.
The mayor PRIOR to this crisis was in NO HURRY to settle first responder contracts.
Yes, THAT mayor today shared a stage with those leaders.

Firefighters, paramedics, and policemen, are assets to this mayor and this city.
Like snowplows, street lights, sewer and water lines, school buildings, parking meters, parks, and anything else owned by the city.
ASSETS..... disposable renewable assets.

Firefighters will come to work no matter what, it’s a hero thing.
Now the police, well they sure as hell used to be hero’s .
Then Obama launched the war on police.
Since then police have been pissed on by much of this entire nation.
What did Tiny Dancer say, the police are fetal?

Well, after about 800 police called in sick the mayor got a very clear vision of what Chiraq could devolve into.
This cities MOST important asset is quickly becoming the police.
Without law enforcement one shudders to think what vermin will come out at night.
Looting, pillaging, arson, home invasion.......ya know, kinda like a Bulls Championship ON STEROIDS.

So, the mayors throws a Hail Mary to give police officers 3 hots & a cot to not abandon the city.

THANK GOD for this cities policemen, paramedics, and firefighters.
May GOD keep you all, and your families, healthy throughout this health crisis.

Listen to the news conferenceWith the mayor and the governor, first of all does she even know how to police department works she was asking people to help the first responders to support them on the third watch which he said that his midnights she has no clue what watches they are she does not know that’s the first watch and she’s the mayor of the city of Chicago.

On another note they keep pushing social distancing while they like the weed places have recreational weed again just drove by the one on the beat by archer And Laramie there they were on the sidewalk bunched up together to buy the weed I guess it doesn’t apply to these kind of establishment does it mayor? Governor course not right? You say that the cameras are controlled by the state of Illinois and they are being watched constantly apparently they’re not watching them enough!

So you close the entire lakefront down but yet this is allowed how much disease could be spread with this? The necessity for having recreational weed and you say it’s a necessary business what kind of diluted thinking is this? However it was nice to see a media vehicle out there look like they were taping something from a distance maybe we will see this soon again another embarrassment mayor shows you can talk to type but you can’t walk the walk. How many more of these dispensaries are doing this? It just shows that for the drug addicted it is OK. So then again police should not get involved with a drug dealer on the street was just trying to make a living because that would be the proper reciprocity right? How many people can be infected by this? Went to the jewel store to get something to eat their employees in there and making sure that everybody was pretty well spaced out that on top of each other but then again there is a business that isn’t needed in a necessity unlike these drug spots. Originally it was said they would be open for medical marijuana because patients needed it but I guess it’s OK to be open for the addicts?

Actually that is good leadership on their part. Why would they risk their health, the health of their families or the health of fellow co workers. We should all be following their lead if we are exposed.

Actually - No. Their actions amount to selfishness and cowardice. They deserted the watch and their officers in the beginning of a crisis. There are multiple white shirts going above and beyond for their officers right now. F.V. wouldn't know the first thing about leadership. These two acted like they're the only two who've been exposed throughout the city. These two... who have rarely ever put themselves in harm's way... don't deserve the title of "leader".

Exactly my sentiment. They said to stay home if you feel any if the symptoms, and well - I feel fatigued. But that doesn’t stop me from smiling at thinking of the bosses squirming at the thought of low manpower while I relax at home.

At what point do Sgt, Lt, Captains and above start manning beat cars? That is what I’m hoping it’ll come to

There is no directive that prohibits a supervisor from assigning tac members from hospital details. All it takes is a supervisor with balls. After a few baby sitting sessions, I'm sure they will see the light.

The department needs to test every single person on the medical right now. Anyone that tests negative for the virus needs to get their ass to work immediately. Excludes people with high risk pre existing illnesses. We all have a job to do. If you don't show up , you should not be getting paid while on the medical list.

You know there are reasons to be on the medical other than one specific virus, right? If someone has a broken arm, or broken leg, or just had a heart attack, you think they should head on in to work the beat? You are a moron.

While I def agree with the argument of wrong time. It wasn’t as if they went looking for some weed. They went there looking for multiple firearms and a rifle per the Search warrant description in CLEAR. I have no issue with someone taking a firearm like that or more off the street because that can hurt you and I more than the virus. While the timing is bad the fact that the see past what’s in front of their face is worth recognizing. When, not If this gets as bad as everyone says you’ll be thanking them they removed one “long gun” from the streets.

To this poster below at 8:13. THOSE ARE DEATHS ONLY. The highest risk category to CONTRACT the virus are men between 18 to 44 then 45 to 64 years of age. Read what experts are saying. HIGHEST RISK TO BECOMING INFECTED. So, yes, I and many of us are at risk. The virus is extremely contagious. If you're not worried, than good for you. So don't take any precautions, cowboy, when you're out in public. If you get sick and end up in the ER - you might not die, you probably won't. But do you really want to be anywhere near the ER or a doctors office right now? Roll the dice, and then check back in with us in a few weeks and let us know how things went for you.

Nah nah nah, it’s a few people in 011 tac. A VAST majority of 011 tac hides in a hole everyday and has been the last several weeks. We are also frustrated with the handful that can seem to just fucking sit in a hole. But the sentiment is shared, relax everyone, sit in the car, do as little as humanly possible.

And NONE of them will be there to help with the daily backlog of jobs. Additional units sent to districts are never used where & how they're needed most... helping answer regular jobs, giving regular beat cars a much needed break.

Want to get off a beat car, how about answer your jobs in a timely manner & handle them accordingly. Occsionaly lock people up. Be personable. Apply to units, and take promotional tests. Riding parkers & fake t stops, & checking the board is "your career" so stop whining. & if your a supervisor leave the working police alone. There's ample manpower if they'd go back to normal duties when they're supposed to. By the way, the districts have tact, caps, & mission teams to ease the rap.

Here is the problem with going to 12 hour days. First, more officers will hit the medical whether they are sick or not. If officers are working a two man car, instead of 8 hours in a car with someone who may or may not have it, now it’s an additional 4 hours of exposure. Longer days make officers more tired which in turn can take a toll on the immune system. Those that want the OT will risk it all, for me personally no thanks. Not that I’m concerned about getting sick, I’d rather spend my time doing better things
