Academy Closed for Classes
Lurching from one crisis to the next without a coherent plan in sight:
- SCC,
Academy closed, recruits headed to the Districts. Promotional classes put on hold and everyone headed back to the assignments. Academy Staff told to be prepared to head to the streets. Not sure where though.
Stay safe.
What new and exciting unplanned reactions will the rest of the day hold?
Well, a few birdies have told us that 12-hour days are here shortly along with cancelled days off. Lots of cancelled days off.
And an e-mailer tells us this:

- If civilian employees run out of sick time or personal days, the Department is advancing them additional time to take off. In other words, they don't have to have the time earned on the books - they can take it and bank it later to "pay back" the city.
That seems ripe for abuse.

Those aren’t the only shakeups coming either.
Hang on as the department plunges further into inefficiency and takes steps backwards.
If you thought the titanic had already sunk- brace yourselves for upcoming changes. Going to be a wild ride, led by people who have no idea what they are talking about. Not even just bad for the police department, but it spells trouble for the city itself, and crime trends for the future.
Retirement can’t come soon enough.
Both the Chicago Public Schools and the Cook County Sheriff are releasing their inmates.Stand by.
Remember the H1N1 Pandemic? I Don’t Either
The World Health Organization declared swine flu a pandemic in June 2009. President Obama didn’t declare it a national emergency for four months, until October 2009. House Democrats introduced ObamaCare in July 2009, in the midst of this pandemic. The last thing they wanted was any distraction, shifting focus to the healthcare system they were trying to take over.
In contrast, the WHO declared coronavirus a pandemic on March 11. Two days later on March 13, President Trump declared it a national emergency. Two days versus four months. Yet if you watch cable news, it’s Trump who doesn’t know what he is doing and is dropping the ball. What a difference a president makes.
Thank you to the LT who was in france and now contaminated the academy.
What exactly are the recruits going to do in the district? Such a stupid plan. The teachers got a two week paid vacation and get to sit home. Now, maybe the rest of us who are certified law enforcement can’t sit home but what’s the point in having recruits in the district? To do exactly what? There’s a few hundred, compared to thousands of teachers sitting on their asses at home. Jesus Christ, send them home for a few weeks and if the shit hits the fan, then you can deploy them to direct traffic. But, for now, they’ll be useless other than to jam up already full district parking lots.
Civilians can already have an advance on the sick time. Look at the contracts. non-CBU employees are different.
Maybe ripe for abuse, but imagine if someone with the virus transmits it to police officers!
I prefer 450 of someone else’s kids go to the academy instead of 3 of mine... the city that Groot collapsed
The ability to advance civilians medical time is NOT new...no need to try and further the we versus them narrative...the bosses and city hall shit on all employees.
Soylent Green is 2 years away.
Was there for training yesterday. Other than the shitshow going on in the parking lot everything looked business as usual. They just started a brand new class of recruits yesterday.
This is Chicago. if it can go wrong it will, it's called The Chicago Way.
Fidel Dart will not find hundreds of murderers on EM so he came up with a brilliant plan. Empty the jail of more of his beloved inmates. That's all we need now is a Cuba like Miami situation during this virus where Fidel Dart lets even more criminals.
OT: Last night while watching Lori Lightfoot on television my husband and I were thinking—-what is it with Chicago and midget Mayors? Daley, Rahm, Lori...or is it our imagination?
Boy these civilians take exactly 12 days a year like clockwork. Normally in December. This is like a License to steal.
I'm still trying to figure out WTF is so bad about this illness to crash the entire economy and country over? Unless your very old and sick you have nothing to worry about other then a few shitty days with a temperature and Fatfuckerster shuts down the entire state?
I smell a rat. Either this is a whole lot more deadly then they are saying or these Democrat pricks are feeding hysteria hoping it gets that doddering old weirdo into the White House in Nov. and gets that jagoff party back in business. I suspect the latter.
Still they run their primary hoping Republicans dont bother casting a vote and kick out Obama's wretched girl. Like I said I smell a big fat 350 lb rat.
Gee, 12hr days, rdo's cancelled...lets tire everyone out and help increase the rate at which officers hit the medical...more time at work and contact with people the higher the chances WE (p.o.'s) get sick!!! Nice thought
No need for 12 hour days or rdos cancelled. What would be the justification? If this way of life continues for several months, how long do the overworked, underpayed officers last?
Bad idea
Look on the bright side, the recruits will get a lesson on mass confusion & disrespect.
Imagine if he transfers the virus to someone else?
Then put your big boy pants on panzy!
It isn't death.
Ripe for abuse.
Just like our own department. We have too many medical and iod abusers. Too many scammers on the job.
Circling the drain.....
Why does the city care about recruits? They don't have any rights yet. Send them home. They are only a liability to the districts.
Why were so many people crammed in classrooms at the Academy yesterday? Why did Instructors not seem to give a fucking rats ass? Why did the department blatantly ignore the rule to keep a certain amount of space between people?
If PC01’s can take reports over the phone why can’t recruits take them at the desk. Obviously entire desk crew cant be recruits as it’ll slow down Desk Sgt duties. But let’s be real here most walk-in reports are either traffic or self explanatory (repetitious). And w that we now can fill a few more blue/whites per watch. Or better yet, not get CU denied.
I say bring it!
I finally put My finger on it,Now I remember where I first saw Lori lightfoot,The Star Wars Bar Scene.
Meanwhile voting goes on in IL despite Ohio saying it's shutting down because voting brings great risk to it's population. Don't you wish JB had some balls like Ohio's governor?
The polling places are a cluster-fuck right now. One small bottle of hand sanitizer, judges in their 60s and 70s. So sad. How many people will get sick today?
Just WATCH as the infection rate skyrockets in 3-5 days.
How is cancelling RDOs and going to 12hr days going to help fight the spread of a virus? Are we supposed to find and arrest the virus? Shoot the virus? Pull it over? What the fuck are we doing here? Seems like the leadership of this department is just moving around a lot, sending many emails to make it look like they’re doing something.
Lower voter turnout, more democrats elected.....
We'll need all those police once Dart, Foxx and Preckwinkle let everyone out of the jails like they are talking about.
Great idea..send everyone from the academy back to the districts to contaminate everyone else
So who got the Academy sick then?
Hey Groot try this, "The Salt Lake City Police Department responded to the coronavirus by asking “all criminal activities/nefarious behavior to cease until further notice. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in halting crime & thank criminals in advance.” Oh Facebook, what would they do without it. It's suppose to be a joke, Larry.
New recruits, who would want the job now. Did these kids actually pass the psychological? Got to wonder about their mental state to sign on to the CPD in 2020.
Beck, the true leader. Put them in the districts, brilliant. The silent non-leader waiting her commands. The bosses running around like Keystone Cops or the Stooges. I'd much prefer Moe, Larry and Curly to Groot, Chuck and the merit hacks. Clown World, the Chicago Way continues in technicolour.
Don't worry citizens of Chicago, the little pompous toad is driving the bus, never mind that she has no map, no plan. What are other police departments doing proactively, what are other 911 centers doing? Likely much more than this democratic utopia. I was thinking of how this will hit the homeless masses around the country, particularly on the west coast. Larry exclaims, "Just close everything and wake me in September".
Keep Calm and Escape (this craphole as soon as you can).
Everyone across the nation is overreacting. All I can say either the CDC is not really telling us what is going on or this is the next Demonrat strategy to make the president look bad in a election year. Either way, very sad that common sense hygiene has to be taught by the media. Stay safe all of the men and women of CPD.
Dear I smell a rat...
When the health care systems / hospitals are over run with “old and sick” people and all the ventilators are in use. What will car accident victims use? What will the people that survive every year from accidental injuries, gunshots, illnesses and cancers that depend on a hospital system that is equipped and fully staffed do? An overwhelmed hospital system will effect everyone. I pray your healthy young family doesn’t need hospital services if they are not available.
Even one hour to say goodbye to a loved one who is being kept alive by a ventilator is an amazing gift. Also, just a lil FYI some of us love the elders in our community and their loss would cause devastation. We don’t consider old and sick people an acceptable loss.
So the Lt who spread this is non other that social Lib Benigno. Completely incompetent goof who was never the police. The whole family has been a detriment to this job. He rages on recruits because he thinks he should be promoted. He works at the academy yet has a take home car. Dumb this idiot.
Lt Benigno, the liberal savior spread this to the academy. He has ruined enough of the place already.
“ ...civilian employees run out of sick time or personal days, the Department is advancing them additional time...”

I can only wonder if anybody who is in full panic mode, after helping to empty store shelves in the market, and sitting on a mountain of toilet paper and bottled water at home, will pull their heads out of their asses soon, and say "Huh...That wasn't really So Bad after all..."
Chicago nearing bankruptcy.. Wuhan virus costing city over $400 million lost tax revs and counting ..2021 Chicago budget for this Oct ,has over $1 billion deficit
Where is the FOP with a contract ?
The fake ,clown Chicago mayor, Lori lighweight calls President Trump incompetent ?
If it gets to bad, the city should call up any retired CPD Officers to come in and work, for say $700.00 an hour if they choose to. Yea, that's the ticket. Never let a serious crisis go to waste. I left out the money would be tax free.I like this idea very very much.
If civilian employees run out of sick time or personal days, the Department is advancing them additional time to take off. In other words, they don't have to have the time earned on the books - they can take it and bank it later to "pay back" the city.
If a sworn member was somehow able to do that they could be the subject of a CR#........ so WTF??

How about running 4 watches,each 6 hours long, put tact as the 4th watch; forget cancelled days off. That would limit exposure. See no reason for 12 hour days; cant go out and do shit anyway..

***Especially since WE DONT HAVE the supplies the Mayor and Beck say we have...Im starting to feel sick already!
I pride myself in never having used the medical in 17 years, but if the department enacts this draconian schedule, I will hit the medical damnit.
12 hour days,,cancelled days off----hopefully no time soon (or never)..that exhausting schedule is designed to demoralize and injure police......wheres the everyone gets an extra day off schedule--put the house mice, academy kittens and hq fools out and about fighting crime and grime-plenty of police these days, use em wisely.
Put all the recruits on CTA stations throughout the city.
12 hour days and RDO's canceled is very dangerous and unsafe, if you want police officers over-worked, hurt or killed. VERY DANGEROUS!
Sounds like an awesome plan. Let's send out the incubators to all the districts & units to infect everyone else.
Hang on as the department plunges further into inefficiency and takes steps backwards.
If you thought the titanic had already sunk- brace yourselves for upcoming changes. Going to be a wild ride, led by people who have no idea what they are talking about. Not even just bad for the police department, but it spells trouble for the city itself, and crime trends for the future.
Retirement can’t come soon enough.
Hope your not counting on deferred to supplement your retirement or you might have to postpone it
Thanks for the advance notice SCC. I’m feeling a bit under the weather, think ill preemptively go on the medical as to not further infect others.
Enough is enough, I’m done having summer holidays fucked with. Now they’re going to possibly cancel RDOs and have 12hr days? Yeah ok lol. Good luck with that
im guessing that the red man gear since 1978, has not been cleaned and is a biohazard, you name it , and the gym equiptmnet never cleaned.

12 hour days... That still leaves the other 12 hours free. Count your blessings there are a full 24 hours each day!
I am sure Groot is putting in 12 hours or more every day to "manage" this crisis as show of solidarity.
Make sure only the best of the best get sent forth to do the job... In the office or out on the streets!

Corruption of that level stunts one's growth. The trend is real.
City council cannot proceed as if it is business as usual, so let's suspend council meetings.
ER Personal are working their asses off.
Firefighters are answering calls.
Police officers are responding to every call for help.
Dear Lori, as a public official you are a hypocrite believing your fellow politicians are entitled to hunker down and hide from their elected duty while the real public servants are trying to keep the ship afloat and risking their own safety.
RDOs cancelled? 12hr days? dont threaten me with a good time!
the lards governor closes everything except the election. its all politically motivated bullshit.
Very dangerous and unsafe, 12 hour days and RDO's canceled, police officers will be overtired, get hurt or killed. Very dangerous.

Good article about the never let a good crisis go to waste dems. Mother Jones writer, Noah Lanard, shows his hate for ICE, "ICE Is Ignoring a Simple Way to Slow the Spread of Coronavirus: Let People Out of Detention".
Brilliant idea, you listening Dart. Expect the same type of idiocy from the criminal loving ilk in Crook County. Just let all the criminals free. But like all hypocrites, it's not in my neighborhood.

Mayor can help save pension fund by eliminating all ranks above Lt. in the 90's Lt.'s ran watches , only 5 captains remained . 95% of all command staff were Lt.'s
allow Lt' Rank to run CPD , perks are a car , office , better hours with a yearly non pensionable bonus based on performance .

There are ~ 330 million people in the USA
According to the CDC, there were anywhere between 22,000 and 55,000 flu related deaths in the 2019 to 2020 flu season
SEEBS news posted as of yesterday 81 people have died from COVID19
What do you think is more likely:
The far left media machine in this country is being told to create as much hysteria as they can so more damage can be done to this country economically, which further advances the Soros agenda to collapse and rebuild
or
Any day now, everyone is going to start dying from COVID19, they're just not telling us.
Numbers don't lie, Democrats do when they're losing and have no agenda to run on. Wait, they also lie to advance radical policy. Oh, and they also lie to get elected. Anything else democrats lie about?
EC3= INSANE
Thank you to the LT who was in france and now contaminated the academy.
No it thank you Lt who got you scared little instructors off the desk and out into the street.
Two CFD medics have tested positive (ambo 38) but don’t expect that to be public knowledge. And CFD is going to be refusing calls a lot more partially due to the fact that we only have 80 ambulances for the entire city of Chicago, three of them stuck at Ohare, and COVID19 protocol mandates that after an ambo responds to a respiratory distress call they must be taken out of service for three hours for disinfection.This whole thing is going to come off the rails soon. Stay safe and healthy.
Leave it to all these imbecile merit picks to make us work longer hours without giving us protection other than the little bottle of hand sanitizer and increase the chances for us getting the virus and infecting our are family. This city is so doomed as we can see by the incompetent people running it. A quote from Tiny Tim 'god bless us all" we need all the help we can get
CPD leadership is not very intelligent!!!!
Funny ELECTION DAY is open,schools, bars,restaurants,and stores are closing hours early. Let the thieves run for political office!
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/3/17/21183924/coronavirus-chicago-fire-department-paramedic-tests-positive
Here it starts. The paramedic worked even after contracting the virus. Let it be known that the city would rather have all of us sick before they give anyone the impression city services aren’t running at 100%. Your health doesn’t matter
What would be the point? If anything, it seems that crime is down. There are far less people walking around and on the roads. You can't even go to a restaurant. There is no looting or civil unrest. Save your troops energy for when something actually happens! How about the city spenda it's energy coming up with a sanitation protocol for vehicles, equipment and stations? The city's first priority should be making sure all first responders and medical personnel are healthy. If you stary losing large numbers of those people, then you will have chaos. Then again, this is shitcago.
XXX
ATTN 8th District: now is the time to shut down. No activity, nothing more then you have to. We’ve received barely any of the items requested to protect from the coronavirus. Bosses dont care about to your health and are only concerned with numbers. Yes, even yesterday the concern was bringing in arrests. Then we’re having personal vehicles damaged....,,yet again. But god forbid we have station security.
We all talked about it these last few days, now is the time to act. No activity.
Next step? Blue Flu
Unpopular opinion; it's our responsibility to take care of each other, especially PPOs/recruits. Take some personal initiative and reach-out to a recruit. Teach them something that they won't get in the academy.
Brilliant plan. Send the recruits who were possibly exposed to the virus out to all of the districts, maximizing the possibility of infecting the entire department And their families. What could the recruits possibly contribute that justifies the risk of downing the entire department.
at a critical time?
It’s funny how the Illinois State police is cutting overtime to the troopers to trying to keep them from more exposure to this virus-the city wants us to work more typical Democrats! Well maybe we can go by somebody’s weed dispensaries that are wide open and get some weed smoke the shit up get high then we won’t even know what the Hells going on why not then we can spread more virus around assholes leaving these things open.
Guess the bigger question is who’s getting paid off? Guess the restaurants don’t pay enough right!
Hey SCC. Check this out.
The IDPH has no testing for virus today! So the rest of us wait......
But can you explain why Exempt members are scheduled and showing up for testing by City Health dept?
Same question with NBA players being tested by who? And they were confirmed by Who?
While we respond to jobs with no equipment or testing

These same complaints are being voiced in NY and many other cities. No one was prepared for this and not there is a national shortage of these protection items. There also are no clear cut guidelines for handling or dealing with obviously very sick people. The city should try to get gloves, masks and eye protection. I would suggest in the meantime wear clear range glasses to protect your eyes.

so have cops respond to respiratory distress calls. take victim to hospital. not an ambulance so no disinfection required. easy.

3/17/2020 05:03:00 AM
And they keep getting smaller.
The department’s response has been truly embarrassing.
There is some evidence that hand sanitizer may not work all that effectively against viruses. Contact time required to kill viruses with alcohol is in the 60 seconds or more range. Usually, the alcohol in hand sanitiser evaporates long before 60 seconds.
Well on the bright side, at least we get a head start at being disgruntled and tired before the annual cancelling of RDOs in summer.
CPD is so dysfunctional. 12 hour days and RDO's canceled, only makes police MORE exposed to the Cronia virus. Its very dangerous and unsafe, and over-tiring the police, this could lead the police to get hurt or killed. UNBELIEVABLE

Soylent Greem....It"s people...Omega Man was also a great film with Charleston Heston
lmao you should have heard5the excitement coming out of some of the civilian mouths warlie4this morning. To say they were salivating is an understatement
How about a couple of weeks off with pay like the school teachers !!!
Soylent Green was Edward G. Robinsons 100th and last film....back then even the B movies are entertaining and fun to watch. In the movie the police wear helmets that are just Football Helmets with full facemask..love the part where they use plow trucks to scoop.up the crowds..
Just like the dumbass bossholes, who moved VRI roll call to 35th st.
That parking lot is jam packed as it is, now add another 100 coppers and their cars because most coppers don't take the CTA, even for free!
Fucking dummy, who thought this shit should be demoted!
I don't see how they can make us cancel our days off in perpetuity, and work 12 hour days all summer long. We need to file a lawsuit and make them hire more cops before the summer. Or hire retired PO's on a temp basis. I have suggested a ready reserve force for the city years ago and supervisors looked at me like I had a duck sitting on my head. Well Look-ee Now....
Why is not using the medical in 17 years something to be proud of...24 years on and I have suffered 4 different broken bones and 3 elective but necessary surgeries, plus serious pneumonia once...all valid reasons...my medical file looks like the yellow pages..but all was legit..can't fake a broken ankle or shoulder..if you need it use it

The rumor of the day is CPD Department of Personnel has been ordered not to approve any retirements until a cure has been found for COVID-19...
That is easy for you to say when you have 365 medical days.
What is wrong to advancing someone who only has 12 sick days a year to be advanced more...would you like to see that person go into a no pay status
.
This virus just cost you a contract and a raise. Story will be that city cannot afford to give the CPD a raise, the virus just cost too much. I am sure you can understand. In fact cuts will have to be made. City population going down not as many police needed.
Fire Department goes down:
Paramedic from Engine 48 located at 1148 E 55th.

These hoarding idiots should spend a tour in Afghan. Still can't get over these snowflakes. Pawns on a board. It's a strain of the common cold that is being used for political agendas and to get funding for the various Chicken Little organizations. The WHO and CDC need scares to get monies. China used it to shut down the Hong Kong rebellion and take the world's eyes off the Uiyghur prison camps. Italy gamed the EU into not only allowing the borders to be closed to invading rapefugees, but Brussels is paying for the countries home detention parties. And here, the business cycle crested, and the downturn can be masked by the common cold. Every wonder where all these people that have no contact with any vectors have become ill? Give a test and there will always be positives. Could it actually be the strain is not new at all, but has not been previously tested for? And if the Chinese hadn't made a big deal over 3000 old people with pre-existing conditions dying in a population of 1.5 Billion, nobody would have ever bothered testing for this strain anywhere?
The best thing is to take advantage of this lunacy. People are scared, the population might actually be on the side of law enforcement for a change. If the Short One gets desperate enough, hopefully the FOP will be able to finally get a contract. Stranger things have happened

They used to have a plan where surrounding suburbs would be on standby when CFD was being overwhelmed. They also could call in private ambulance companies to assist. They must have thrown those plans out, thinking they would never be used???
Police and Fire just the scum of the earth:
Below is an email sent to everyone:
Please review below from the Mayor’s office.
Note: CPD, CFD and OEMC are excluded at this time.
To All City Employees:
Thank you for your continued dedication and service, especially during this unprecedented time. As part of our response to the Coronavirus outbreak, the City will initiate two important workforce policies designed to keep you safe and continue a high level of service to our residents.
Expanded Telework Policy
An expanded Telework Policy will begin tomorrow Wednesday, March 18th. The new Telework Policy allows certain City employees who can perform their core job functions on a personal computer, tablet or similar electronic device to do so from home starting tomorrow.
Your Department head or supervisors will be communicating with you today about the new policy. Topics that will be covered include:
· Whether or not you qualify for Telework, based on the nature of your job and the needs of the department.
· Explaining the requirements for Telework, including keeping core hours, reporting, and staying in contact with your team.
· Helping eligible employees obtain approvals to participate, including completing the required Telework Agreement.
· Address technology-related requirements that must be satisfied in order to participate in the Telework Policy.
No one is permitted to begin teleworking unless and until approved by their Department. Anyone who can and who is approved to work from home should do so, whether or not your function is deemed “essential” by the Department.
Reduction in Services
In order to protect your health and safety and that of the residents of the City of Chicago, on Thursday, March 19, 2020, the City will begin the process of suspending certain non-essential government services that cannot be performed from home under the new Telework Policy.
Your department leadership will meet with you today and tomorrow to discuss this decision and how it impacts you. Employees who are deemed to provide essential functions may be required to continue to report to work. This includes all public safety functions. Those employees who can perform their core job functions under the Telework Policy and have been approved to participate in that program will be expected to work remotely. Please note that all employees - whether they are working at the worksite, working from home, or if their function is suspended - will be paid and will continue to receive their normal benefits, like health care.
For the time being, the following departments are excluded from the reduction in services: CDPH, CPD, CFD, CDA, AIS, DWM, OEMC, DSS, and CDOT.
You should expect to hear more on how this affects you and your department from your department head.
Thank you again for your dedication and service to the City of Chicago and its residents.

Civilians have been able to use up to 84 future hours medical time. They don't get SIF and some units very limited overtime if any.
Why do all 8 Lt's at the academy have take home cars?
This department.... lets take the recruits and send them all over the city to other districts full of POs. I guess youre immune to covid-19 in the district lobbies.
1) Election stolen: check
2) JB Pigster sad face, virus worse than we knew, Trump won't solve our problem: check
3) First Responders intentionally ill-equipped: check
4) National Guard: Our only option: shrug.
CFD here.
One of our medics from Ambulance 38 located at 1150 E 55th Street has tested positive for the virus. The city is attempting to make a story up and say he got it from his "ex-wife" who is a flight attendant. The story is ALL BULLSHIT.
Ambulance 38 must do over 30 to 40 runs in a shift with the worse of the worst in this city.
All WITH NO PROTECTION for Covid-19
The conditions we are working under are also a joke.
Our medic chief told us the other day; "Here is the plan. There is no fucking plan. Good luck". We are not being given any extra special equipment other than wipes and hand sanitizer. The city if a fucking joke with incompetent hacks running this garbage pit.
I wouldn't criticize anyone for going on sick leave and avoiding this mismanaged democrat shit hole.
God bless all the first responders......
What will happen is days off will be cancelled and 12 hour days instituted for about 3 weeks and then when everyone is burned out the South and the Westsides will burn from being underprepared. It would be nice to have a department staffed at 15-17,000.
Deployment of LAPD Area Detectives and Front Desk Operations due to #COVID19
In an effort to augment staffing levels, reassure the public, and create a safe environment for our employees, the Los Angeles Police Department is modifying some of our regular services. We ask for your patience during this time, as this shift of resources may impact the public.
Effective immediately, we will be deploying 50 percent of our area detective workforce to uniformed patrol assignments. These dedicated resources will perform high visibility patrols to critical locations throughout our 21 geographic areas, ensuring the safety of the residents and any store operators that may be dealing with very large crowds.
This deployment is not a response to any specific heightened criminal activity. To date, we have experienced very few isolated non-medical calls for service throughout the entire region related to the health emergency. There is no indication that there will be any change to this posture. We have seen Angelenos rise to the occasion by social distancing, good hygiene and sheltering with loved ones.
Also, starting Wednesday, all of our geographic areas will be closing their front desks and walk-up service. This move is an effort to ensure social distancing and do our part to slow the spread of Coronavirus.
Instead of going to your local area station, we are asking the public to use unique email addresses assigned to each of our 21 area front desks. Those emails will be monitored 24/7 and routed to the proper channels. Rest assured, we will still respond to crimes in progress or a crime in need of immediate follow up, as Watch Commanders will dispatch patrol officers to those incidents.
There will be some exceptions to the closures for specific business that requires an in-person meeting including, but not limited to:
-Vehicle/Property Release
-Child Custody Exchanges
-Attorney Visitation (with an individual in custody)
-Bail/Bond Releases
An officer will give specific directions on how those visits will be handled.
These new guidelines will greatly reduce contact between members of the public and Department personnel, hopefully ensuring the health and well-being of our workforce.
The LAPD is committed to providing professional service for our community and keeping our employees healthy, is critical as we continue to protect and serve the people of Los Angeles.

keep your sense of sanity while others freak out. remember it's a flu, you will get over it if you catch it, countless people are saying it was not bad, all hype. and for god's sake dont believe cnn or mnsbc.

The far left media machine in this country is being told to create as much hysteria as they can so more damage can be done to this country economically, which further advances the Soros agenda to collapse and rebuild
. . . . . . . . . . .
The 2017 - 2018 flu season had the highest number of deaths in years at 80,000. The population of the U.S. is 327,200,000 and 14.9 percent of them are 65 or older - that is 48,752,800 seniors. CDC estimates 50 - 60 percent of Americans could become infected with Coronavirus. Using the lower estimate of 50 percent, that means 24,376,400 people 65 or older are likely to become infected. Even if the death rate for Coronavirus is no higher than the flu at 1 percent, that means an estimated 243,764 U.S. seniors will die of Coronavirus. That estimate does not include anyone younger than 65 with underlying health conditions. Calling this a hoax and ignoring health experts endangers all of us.
Haven't seen much of Larry in public lately. Hmmmm. Last I heard her she was saying: "and if you feel sick, for God's sake, stay home, except for the police" ok, she didn't say except for the police but she was thinking it because she knows she's going to need us to get through this. God knows that all I will do in the coming days and perhaps weeks or months to do my part to help the situation will not be for these politicians or supervisors but rather for my fellow man. God bless all first responders and health workers in these times.
Fox 🦊, quigley and many progressives won
Vote really in November
This is what we had, have, and will have as our State's Atty someone who hates our profession and it's deep rooted..
At 18, Donny Foxx was arrested by police in south suburban Matteson and charged with two misdemeanor counts of unlawful use of a weapon, including having a loaded revolver in his car. He eventually pleaded guilty to one count and was given court supervision, records show.
Five years later, he changed his name to Kelley Foxx while living in southern Illinois, court records show. Kim Foxx said her husband changed his name in honor of his ailing mother. The campaign declined to make him available for an interview.
ATTN 8th District: now is the time to shut down. No activity, nothing more then you have to. We’ve received barely any of the items requested to protect from the coronavirus. Bosses dont care about to your health and are only concerned with numbers. Yes, even yesterday the concern was bringing in arrests. Then we’re having personal vehicles damaged....,,yet again. But god forbid we have station security.
We all talked about it these last few days, now is the time to act. No activity.
Next step? Blue Flu
I agree with you. The bosses talk out of both sides of there mouth! They want those ISR’s, but the minute you do any proactive police work they don’t back you. They split up partners and dick you around with everything. They denied an officer last year his opportunity to attend Carbine training. If your a worker in 008 you get punished. We’ve had a handful of officers who made great stops and arrests that involve the recovery of multiple firearms and felony arrests and no recognition from the bosses like traffic stop of the month or at the least honorable mentions. Way to boost the moral!
City paying non essential workers to stay home ?
Give them gloves , rags , bleach , wash down every city facility.
Mayor Groot , make them earn their pay , money doesn’t grow on trees .
Look at CPD contract , police officers might be entitled to receive compensation for any paid time other city employees receive , it’s basically giving them paid vacations.
The civilians who work for the police dept. Make as much if not more than a officer working the best. Most of the ones I have known look at their 12 medical days as extra days off. When they are really sick they are crying cause they have to use their elective time off. Those of you that defend them don't know how they really are. Plus they have more rights when you try to discipline than an sworn officer.

"OT: Last night while watching Lori Lightfoot on television
my husband and I were thinking—-what is it with Chicago and
midget Mayors? Daley, Rahm, Lori...or is it our imagination?"
3/17/2020 05:03:00 AM
Ok... We'll give it a shot...
Angry, undersized, physically handicapped children with emotional
and psychological maladies who don't quite fit in with their peers
who grow up to be afflicted/misfit adults with an oversized chip
on their shoulders, something to prove and a deep, unquenchable
thirst for revenge over their fucked-up misfit childhood and a
psychotic inability to adapt, grow up and get over it?
Scratch the surface of Shortshanks, Rahm al-Ghoul and Groot...
They're three of the same damaged child taking out
their adult angst on everybody who isn't them.
We watched the interview/documentary on Groot's
"humble origins" in Massillon, Ohio...
...When they were talking with Groot's mother.
You old REAL Policemen know all about what a
person's eyes are saying regardless of the words
coming out of their mouth.
You know... Old time Police-y type stuff...
Sweet talking a child rapist and murderer
into "giving it up."
Listening to the victims/survivors of heinous crimes
telling their story to glean any pertinent info.
Heh!
The key word is "Listening."
You know... Knowing when to dummy-up...
Groot's mother is a haunted and grief-stricken woman
who struggled so hard to find the "right words"
when describing Groot growing up and as an adult.
Groot's father was a preacher man of some sort.
The inference was that the family dynamic was
no doubt tempestuous.
Heh!
Groot couldn't wait to flee Massillon for the
bright lights of Chicago where "You do You"
was more than a passing byword in and around
U of C campus.
Rahm kept his parents out of the limelight
but it was plain to see that the Emanuel
Boys were fucked-up in their heads too.
Cursing and fighting each other was encouraged
which really explains their penchant for nasty-assery.
Daddy Emanuel was alleged to have been blowing up
schools/school busses and kidnapping/killing
British soldiers in the Protectorate of Palestine.
(Pre-state Israel)
Shortshanks was the misfortunate fuck-up and half-wit.
"...And take Richie with you," was what the other Daley boys
had to have hated to hear.
"Aww MAAAA! Richie is stoopid an' he can't keep up..."
>Smack!<
"He's your brother so take HIM with you!"
Old Man Daley ADMITTED on different occasions
that Richie WAS a cretin and as Mayor, he was
going to move heaven and earth to make sure
Richie The Cretin was going to assume his
proper place as the head of the Chicago
Democratic Party Apparatus to enjoys all
the trappings of power and privilege
that he couldn't earn for himself...
Old Man Daley did good for an old
"Hamburg" who had some hands-on training
during The Chicago Race Riot of 1919
Heh... You were NOT going to rise like
HE DID and have the cleanest of hands.
No?
Anyhoo...
Just a native son of this city...
An old, sick, half-crippled Cop
with half a lifetime of seeing the
REAL Chicago from behind the wheel
of a CPD Blue & White.
Reckon that makes us a mean, RACIST,
insensitive some-kind-of-phobe who
isn't the meek, timid, inoffensive
and submissive model "public servant"
everyone demands we be, or else...
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.
If the city is burning and their are riots in the streets, then I get it. Isn't this 12hr shifts and days off cancelled premature? Yes, of course it is. Plus, aren't you putting officers at risk much more by increasing their odds of exposure? Also, aren't you cutting into an officers opportunity of getting enough rest thus weakening his or her resistance? The city put no thought into this or did they. We know they don't care about us so why not put us all in harms way.

This virus just cost you a contract and a raise. Story will be that city cannot afford to give the CPD a raise, the virus just cost too much. I am sure you can understand. In fact cuts will have to be made. City population going down not as many police needed.
3/17/2020 07:17:00 PM
City population might be going down , but crime, shootings and murders going up. Raises might be a little short but no way cutting police
The rumor of the day is CPD Department of Personnel has been ordered not to approve any retirements until a cure has been found for COVID-19...
Who makes up these stupid rumors? City can’t keep you from retiring. You want to retire, you put in your papers and retire. It’s your option to decide when to retire. They going to force you to come to work?
Everybody that was in the academy she have to self quarantine for two weeks.

There are only 3 Lt.'s at the. Academy
There are ~ 330 million people in the USA
According to the CDC, there were anywhere between 22,000 and 55,000 flu related deaths in the 2019 to 2020 flu season
SEEBS news posted as of yesterday 81 people have died from COVID19
What do you think is more likely:
The far left media machine in this country is being told to create as much hysteria as they can so more damage can be done to this country economically, which further advances the Soros agenda to collapse and rebuild
or
Any day now, everyone is going to start dying from COVID19, they're just not telling us.
Numbers don't lie, Democrats do when they're losing and have no agenda to run on. Wait, they also lie to advance radical policy. Oh, and they also lie to get elected. Anything else democrats lie about?
3/17/2020 02:33:00 PM
My friend, do you understand exponential growth? COVID19 is not growing like the flu (which we have vaccines and SOME built up immunity for). It's growing with a rate of detected cases doubling in less than a week.
And we aren't even really testing for it.
The thing about exponential growth is that it looks like nothing until it's too late. Think about a a pond with lilly pads growing on it with 1 on day 1. You wouldn't even notice it. On day 40, it's 100% covered by them. What day was it covered 50% by them? Day 39. A few days earlier, say day 32, you wouldn't have barely been able to see it.
This thing is not the flu. Anyone still comparing it to the flu is a moron or still hasn't been deprogrammed from the talking heads at Fox that are getting taken off the air because it will be embarrassing to have them there with bodies piling up in every major city in the country. Because that's exactly what has happened in other places that have had this come through without people doing anything about it.
Everyone is not going to die. The rate of mortality is small when compared to all those infected. But when everyone gets infected- which is what is happening with this thing- even a small mortality rate is astounding and will easily take out the medical system. It's already happening in NY. Talk to nurses there.
To the great on the front line members of the CPD. Note, after a week of working 12 hour days, your sleep pattern will suffer, also eating a meal in a half hour and it being junk food, your body and immune system will decrease and keep decreasing until you have the immune system of an elder with heart issues, having high sugar levels, and organ failures.
Put in the daily stress factor you endure, not from the public, but supervisors that have the sense of a piss-ant.
These alleged leaders will eat well, sleep well, laugh, and laugh at your suffering. The city and these moron internet MBA bosses are evil.
This situation sounds like the USSR under Stalin.
You watched the Mayor on television and you thought she was short? How about arrogantly incompetent and pathetic, that didn’t cross your mind?

Those aren’t the only shakeups coming either.
Hang on as the department plunges further into inefficiency and takes steps backwards.
If you thought the titanic had already sunk- brace yourselves for upcoming changes. Going to be a wild ride, led by people who have no idea what they are talking about. Not even just bad for the police department, but it spells trouble for the city itself, and crime trends for the future.
Retirement can’t come soon enough.

**That's ok....Just go and sit on the medical until your ready to go...its the City Way!!!
Everyone does it.
"I pride myself in never having used the medical in 17 years, but if the department enacts this draconian schedule, I will hit the medical damnit."
I did not use the medical for 30 years. Was always told by the old timers that I was crazy. But, it was the way I was brought up. You work hard and do your best that you can do. Two years after retirement the rahm cancels my free for life health insurance. To me it seems like I gave so much and got shit on. Oh well it's my own fault.
when the quarantine comes no real need for 12 hour shifts as there will be no crime to speak of when the cta is shut down to keep people from moving around.
should solve the parking problem too.
The smartest thing from CPD during the Corona virus infection. Congratulations!

Mayor can help save pension fund by eliminating all ranks above Lt. in the 90's Lt.'s ran watches , only 5 captains remained . 95% of all command staff were Lt.'s
allow Lt' Rank to run CPD , perks are a car , office , better hours with a yearly non pensionable bonus based on performance .
3/17/2020 02:05:00 PM
Yes, they tried it and it flopped because one lieutenant was supposedly in charge which didn't go over good with the other two on the watch.
Unpopular opinion; it's our responsibility to take care of each other, especially PPOs/recruits. Take some personal initiative and reach-out to a recruit. Teach them something that they won't get in the academy.
3/17/2020 04:27:00 PM
Yup; unpopular is right. According to the orders, the only ones PPOs on their cycles can work with are FTOs or sergeants or sit in the corner at the desk playing on their phone. No one can work out of grade anymore. Therefore, me and my 30 years experience mean nothing to the department. So, I leave the teaching to the FTOs. Do I like to be this way? No, but I'm giving the city what they want. Sorry recruits.
CPD is so dysfunctional. 12 hour days and RDO's canceled will expose the police to increased Corona virus. It is very dangerous and unsafe. Police will get overtired, hurt, or even killed. The more exposure to humans, the greater your risk of being infected by the Corona virus.
So the academy has a Lt.
Who thinks he is the only one that can deal with this threat and he's gods gift to the operation section, but we see different, he cant handle stress, he thinks he the smartest person in the room, and the bottom line is we dont trust or respect him
Go blow smoke to your range buddies
CPD Contract NOW!!!
We need the retro pay
Do you read what you write. Our contract is the last thing on the mayors mind. With the virus and lost revenue and stock market we don’t even exist and city is losing money now. Anticipated tax revenue is gone. Bar, restaurant, theater sports gambling revenue and taxes are gone
Why do all 8 Lt's at the academy have take home cars?

Garbage collection is conducted by City of Chicago employees, it is the recycling collection that is done by a private contractor.
I remember, years ago on SCC, when a former elementary or secondary school classmate of Ritchie Daley mentioned how Ritchie had the annoying problem of sneezing or coughing on everyone.

Maybe they should have planned better and not used their "discretionary" days and saved them for a possible medical incident in the future.
A duck sitting on your head? Not a bad idea.
Soylent Green? I love the part where they refer to the female that comes with an apartment as "Furniture". I tried that with my wife. It didn't work out well.
"...would you like those employees to go into a no pay status..."
If it wasn't for our Democrat system, they would be in a permanent never work status.
