Another Layer of Bureaucracy?

This would be a truly dumb idea:
  • Anonymous said...

    When the announcement is made, it is going to be Ernie Cato as the Superintendent. The surprise part of the announcement is going to be the appointment of Kristen Ziman as the first Chicago Director of Public Safety. Ms. Ziman will carry huge whack but will not be burdened by the day to day crime trends as Ernie Cato will be.
Chicago, Cook County, Illinois and the nation have just taken massive hits to their bottom lines. We've outlined (dozens of times) ways to cut the fat and trim expenses, mostly involving the removal of entire layers of useless exempts and redundant supervision.

Adding a brand new layer of "supervision" for whatever reason is just stupid in the extreme and fiscally irresponsible. We'll certainly be hoping this rumor is just another pile of crap.

Wasn't Cortez Trotter the one and only person to ever be appointed as the public safety czar for the city of Chicago? It is a bs title. I seriously doubt Groot will fill the title and spend the money for an unnecessary position. If she does, it will be just another thing waiting to bite her in the ass.

Well while we're on the topic of cato, can we talk about his protege in the 15th district commander YT. She likes to bitch a lot about activity during a national pandemic. Checking the watch check off sheets daily, seeing what everybody is bringing in (which should be ZEROS!!!!) and micromanaging the watch's calls and checking peoples status. Even has LT's spewing this bullshit, "Idk what 10 and 11 are doing but here in 15 we are still going to put our hands on people and lock people up".

The only director of public safety that I can remember was Sam Nolan who was the acting CPD police superintendent in the late 70s. I believe they bumped him up to create that job because they didn't want him to be the permanent supt. Has this position been filled ever since? What if anything, do they do? Never hear about them. Duties?

Larri’s figuring that creating that PS position to be a stepping stone, warmup circle, training camp for the next step...the CPD Supt.
So now we’re going to be spending $500-600k a year for two buttheads that are likely going to butt heads over who gets to tell who what to do.
I figured LA Chollie to be hired parttime and would operate like Max Headroom giving armchair advice and orders via the worldwide internets, as he may have to just to keep some order to the coming disorder. Someone will still be the main decision maker a bit longer even if Larri puts both of this two unproven greenhorns as top managers, also if either one disagrees with Larri she has a backup.

Does it matter who what is superintendent when they reinvent the decades old Together We Can strategy all over again?
CookCo will never allow for a felony arrest like they did last year, misdemeanors might even become an in-house adjudication much like Juvenile processing. where adults will be processed on a point system before ever getting sent to a court. Jail will continue not to be an option.

A 29-year Chicago Police Department veteran, Cato started at the Austin district as tactical lieutenant a little over three years ago before replacing the previous commander, Dwayne Betts, in December 2017.

"When he became commander he was very involved," said Rev. Steve M. Epting, pastor of Hope Community Church and a member of the CAPS Faith Based Committee. "He supported the efforts that the community had, including night walks, corner prayers and community connections training."

Cato helped develop and implement community-based programs such as the 100 Churches & 100 Blocks Program and the Austin Response Team (A.R.T.) during his time as commander. Cato, who has a master's degree in public safety administration from Lewis University, also served the U.S. Department of State in South Africa, where he assisted in building community policing programs.

"We've put something in place here where we have empowered the community to assist the police," said Cato, who added it takes the community and police working together to reduce violence.

Ziman better get lubed up fast before coming to town. The Social Democrats are licking their chops as it spits out the remnants of old Chollie Beck. Another very expensive layer to provide cover for the scare little Toad Princes who sees bankruptcy under her watch. Her threats to the public for gathering is unenforceable. This ass wipe can't make laws only local ordinances with the approval of the 50 Gang of Thieves. The citizens following CDC guidance are doing fine. The Toad doesn't want anything resembling normal as she wants this crisis to go on endlessly for political purposes and additional free gubmint monies. The need to scare people is paramount for the Socialist Democrats. She needs enforcement to scare people. She needs those big bad police to enforce her will and violate the Constitution. That's the same vindictive Mayor who is hateful and disrespectful of the police. Hey Groot get out there yourself and scream and yell at your voting public.

She is in lock step with the morbidly obese Fat Ass Gov. who consistently blames everyone else for Illinois short comings and incompetent planning and execution. The mouth breather has difficulty speaking as he gasps to fill his lungs with air and profusely sweats. He is disgusting to watch anytime. His figure does not instill confidence. He can't take care of himself, how do we expect him to take care of the State.

So Ratso da Fatso and the Little Boy rule their fiefdoms by threats and intimidation. Social Democrats at their best.

The 1 PM news conference given by the Imp showed her desperation by invoking God's name. Wow that's a sure sign of the Social Democrat mayor is watching the city financially crumble before her eyes. Showing pictures of people walking around in close proximity. Cheap props. I am woman? - hear me roar. Cough, Cough.

Dr. Doom, the dour looking one, threw in the morgue threat. OK we heard that for the last several weeks. That's all Cuomo talks about. We know who is vulnerable and the worst result. No mention of congregating by legal dope shops or the ever popular corner dope slinger. It's the Parks and Lake Shore.

Bringing in the suburban mayors was a nice touch. Show of solidarity however best stay in your own jurisdiction and quit traveling into Chicago potentially spreading China V. We have enough assholes walking around town. Many packing guns, riding the CTA and having shootouts on the rails.

At the end all the Mayor and speakers clustered together, fist and elbow pumped one anther. More bullshit from the Mayor - do as I say not as I do. No one asked if the Toad Princess was tested. She looks terrible, irritated and desperate. Beck should have issued a citations to all.

BTW: Beck didn't fully explain why some slug was arrested in 011. Spitting and contaminating the District, vehicles and officers was the reason. Beck forgot that part. Same for shoot outs in the killing fields of Shitty City. Are house parties a no no too. Not a hint about endangering the police by keeping the police stations open for piss bums to bring in the China Flu in with them and infect Dept. personnel. Nationally recognized Police Executive - maybe in Cali but not here. These are trying times, but common Beck try a little harder. Maybe visit the station houses at night, and meet and greet those folks sleeping and hanging around the lobby. You know, maybe sharing a few stories about your glory days with LAPD.

life or death decisions. Think a pre-decline Joe Biden. Fools
like this pose for photo ops and make a portfolio. Talk is
cheap.Real change comes from within. We doubt Ziman
has the right stuff.

Doesn’t matter, how many of the last few have been around longer than 3 or 4 years?

How did our exempts get so distant from us? Or look at other unions & professions who help protect their workers from the top down even when it rains.

Moving on to the contract, now the teachers - who walked out for money & staying home during this coronavirus. If this pandemic doesn't earn our benifit of the doubt back to the public along with city hall & that our services to this city pale in comparison to anyone else, but to people in health care.

I'm getting to this. Death is on the line. Our families & friends risk death just for being close to us. The police are performing exemplary duties keeping everyone safe. & reporting for duty without question. I know everyone loves money, and its most of your end all to judas. The years of tarnishing us, dragging us in the mud calling us brutal & racist. End compstat. Stop using the public as meal tickets, or receipts for numbers.

Here to this, if this dosent impress city hall, and see us well. Leave it at that , now I'll let others think of the conclusions of the future after this unpresidentant pandemic.

And Charlie Beck didn't do one fucking thing.
Some guys said he was the best thing to happen to CPD.
Was that his wife writing in?
Beck has been tarred & feathered here so this is his
last stop. Any future boss would put a team on the
SCC archives and do a search. At this point he could
not get hired by Tru Value Hardware, or Six Flags for
that matter. The pushback honestly shocked our little
Blue Boy from LA. Many sleepless nights. He actually
went home every weekend to have his head rubbed by
his wife. This will get around police circles and Beck
will be persona non grata. People check social media
today. And SCC is the blog of record my friend.

Really? Double merit Det, Sgt and then miraculously scored the top 15 in the cheating Lt exam. Yea, that’s who we need for Supe. Continue the dummy route. A bunch of idiots running Chicago.

Ernie Cato is a thief! He stole all those promotions by merit or by cheating. He has convinced himself that he earned everything along the way.

The only one qualified for superintendent is Georgas. But he doesn’t want it.

I worked with Yolanda in 013 many many years ago she was a very good police officer back then typed a lot of search warrants, no idea what she’s like now, but did work hard back then. Trained by West and I’m not talking about the useless one.

I'm not sure why everyone is here bitching about Cato....all of the final choices are horrible. I hope LL hires all three of these losers. The CPD of the past is over. LL will ruin the city, the police department and everything she touches. Chicago voted for her and now it will get what it deserves.

Cato and little Jimmy Sanchez are cut from the same cloth ... both of these individuals never passed a promotion test in their careers . This example here is why the Chicago Police Department is a sinking ship. Now go get your shine box Jimmy ... Fred & Cato need a shine ! CHUMP !

Deenihan is the guy we need, but only if we had a mayor who would let him run it the right way and without meddling and micro-managing.

But I do appreciate your sarcasm considering Georgas would give both his balls and both of Spiro's merit promotions to become the superintendent.

Sammy Nolan. What a fucking guy.
Good people remember him.

3/26/2020 03:10:00 PM

Yes, you are so right on that. Nolan was very good. We have had some really good leaders in the past ( I am retired), but none that I can see since the early 90's when Daley jr. came into office and instituted the merit system. Now, we are looking at a potential double merit/cheater as superintendent. Wow! The slide continues.

Wow, have times changed. 015 used to be the place people who fucked up got dumped to. Now, it's the seat of power with West and Cato in the driver's seat.

Ziman runs (or at least we think she runs) a "large" department that has less coppers than all 22 districts. How is she expected to lead a department of 13,500 coppers??

How many masks , gloves , radios could be purchased if Groot cut 60% of command staff , need one exempt , a superintendent , that’s it . The rest can be paid at current rank , given titles and a yearly bonus based on performance, non pensionable . Try it , save money , save pension fund and use the talent in ranks from Patrolman to Lieutenant.
