Recruits Scrub Cars
We're surprised that the unions over at Fleet haven't raised a stink about this:
- The recruits sent to all the districts are being utilized to "sanitize" squad cars between shifts. They have buckets, a few spray bottles of lord knows what, gloves and a box of rags.
At least they're learning that the City doesn't give a rat's ass about them and their chosen careers.
UPDATE: Here's what they got from Equipment and Supply:
Good luck kids.

Grain alcohol is cheap. 2/3 rd Grain, 1/3 aloe. It has an added bonus, you could mix up some very strong jello shots and give them to the people you have to deal with. Sanitized.
Make sure that they swipe in and swipe out. đˇ
Someone had the bright idea of laying down red tape in the 009th dist. to keep citizens 6ft away from desk. Yet the citizens stay longer then 10 mins inside.
Scrub, scrub, scrub you dirty Gel Scum, and don't get
no fucking product on the headliner. While you're at it,
get your ShineBox!
The Daily Roscoe says.....
Do you mind if we repost this, SCC?
You fucking creeps, don't forget the Windex on the way out.
And I want those mirrors spotless, got it?
Yeah, that Mercedes Sprinter IS a police vehicle.
Got a problem with that?
I hope they have instructions to dump the whole bottle onto the "smelly ass" driver's seats.

What's next, send them out to milk cows ? f'n Leftist Chicago Politicians. Hopefully they will wise up fast to the communist Chicago ways, and seek new jobs elsewhere.
Proud to be the police????? Bet they can't wait to tell their grandkids how they saved the day washing cars. "And tomorrow boys and girls, when you get here, it will only be worse.
Stay Safe
7 wounded in citywide shootings Friday evening into Saturday morning
Well this will cease effective Sat. at 5pm when the stay at home order begins. Yeah, right!
I tipped my guy a dollar.
Travel Industry ( and we do mean Industry ) is pushing cruises.
Really? Fucking CRUISES?
The Fleet union workers would get around to cleaning it over summer. And by cleaning, I mean opening the door and spraying a few mists of solvent and closing the door.
Greta THUG-Berg
That's who you can thank.
Sailed across the Atlantic and wound up in Davos.
Yeah, FUCKING sure.
We're being CONNED folks. Plain & simple CONNED.
Brady just-show-up $25M contract. BULL-SHIT.
Not buying. Sorry.
If you think that scrubbing gonna save yo ass..............
Iâd take that task over pulling out a âStinkerâ any day. Oh yeah usually without gloves.
CFD academy is open , why did cpd academy close
Just playing devil's advocate, if a LT assigned to the academy,came back from Europe with covid 19 and didnt tell anyone why would the department disburse these recruits to all the districts and potentially spread the virus?
Youâd things that in times of crisis, the government could force the public welfare leeches to do something to earn their free money, EBT card, rent, housing, water, heat, medical bills, etc.....
Should they be laid off? Over half the city is laid off. They should be thanking God they are making a fortune wiping down cars because the guys that clean cars for a living? They arenât getting paid right now!
I recall during the great snow storm of 1979 they had recruits shoveling snow at the 95th CTA yards. The city is really a wonder
Fleet ainât about to wash no vehicles.
Getting a tire changed is a big bother enough.
Iâd rather have on of our own do a wipe down than leave it to a disgruntled civilian.
Better yet I rather do it myself.
Go for G&O and thereâs as much oil on the steering wheel as in the crankcase.
Routine or preventative cleaning is something that mechanic unions probably have restrictions on anyway... Not My Job Clause.
Had the MMD garage change a worn out drivers seat (springs sunken, frame exposed, etc) on a in-house pool car, which took a couple days. Got the 100k hoopty back with all the accumulated garbage that was under the old seat left intact. They just pushed it further back on the floor, enough out of the way to install the new one. Shame that even a Beat guy has to clean up someone elseâs mess.
Recruits gotta do something. Hope they get to keep the spare change under those seats.
At least in a month of two the hydrants will be open and this can become a regular thing.
Just be glad Larri didnât send in the Mich Ave bucket boys for $15 hr.
Crowds are down as are their tips.
The recruits have not been trained in Biological Decontamination. Why are they making them come in civilian dress and having them go home to contaminate their personal vehicles and home? Incompetence from HQ during normal times is bad enough...but during a crisis it's dangerous. I told the recruits in my district station thank you but to not bother...I will clean my own squad car just like I clean my own gun or do my own laundry. If something isn't done correctly it's my own damn fault.
The City keeps telling everyone to use âSocial Distancingâ but yet they cancelled everyoneâs RDO and want to cram people 4 deep like sardines into a 100,000 mile POS squad car? What part of âSocial Distancingâ does Groot not understand??? Is Groot trying to speed up the infection rates among Officers? WTF??
This is ridiculous. These recruits are soon to be officer's, they did not sign up to be janitors they signed up to be law enforcement officers. Not to mention risking their health and mental well being. Cpd at its finest
I've got a nephew in probationary period who just came home and told the family he quit. He loves the job BUT NOT IN CROOK COUNTY. I was sad for a second, then realized how smart he is.
It's there loss believe me
To all retired guys the state has suspended IROCC qualifications. If your IROCC card expires during this suspension time your card will not be extended. The say IROCC IS a federal program and the state dose not have the right to extend your card. Funny how the state can ignore federal law when it comes to immigration.
I didn't join the police dept to scrub down department vehicles. If that's the case I would have applied to be a janitor.
This is as good an answer to the problem as there is at present.
Corona carrying CFD Medical âChiefâ ordering sick employees to Medical for the last 2 weeks. Her carrying husband is quarantined, yet sick lady still showing up. Knuckleheads all over the place...
Iâd quit.
1 bucket per district...50 buckets for HQ
Normally SCC I would agree that the unions would beef if they thought that someone was taking away their jobs but in this case I would imagine that they would welcome the
"Blue Canaries" to minimize 'their' exposure to the situation at hand.
If anything, you could believe that the 'cruits would be more conscientious than some of our dirty water, politically appointed firm janitors.
Wishing everyone a safe tour of duty and health for the future.
Stay Safe.
Amazon is hiring 100,000
7-Eleven up to 20,000
(And that's just to replace the ones they killed off)
They are using dirty water and dirty rags and are cross contaminating the cars . My car is sanitized prior to my shift by me. I am ordered to have these idiots use a filthy rag to wipe the steering wheel! This is fuckijh stupid
:0 oh shit Batman! Man, as messed up as that is, as a copper I gotta say it sure feels good to have seniority right about now! But in all seriousness, that's shitty doin that to those kids. Come groot, you know these little snowflakes and 'be the change' warriors ain't never done real chores or work before! How ill prepared they are, this was never taught in the academy
This is bullshit Mr. Miyagi I'm not learning shit all I do is wash on wash off
Are teachers scrubbing down classrooms to make sure they earn their pay? What a joke, disgusting and demeaning for the police department. Iâve got 26 years on. I donât love some of these kids but this is absolutely wrong.
Another great idea from Pillows West. Iâve been gone for a few years but I recollect Equipment and Supply came under her. I wonder if she had them order a âMy Pillowâ for her.
Donât are overpaid merit exempt or the mayor have any plan in place for moving their training to elearming/online. I mean the mayor said sheâs known about this for months.
If people weren't such pigs, this wouldn't be that difficult of a job. I've seen cppers trash a new squad literally within a week!
As dumb as this is, at least the recruits are continuing getting paid
During the Blizzard of '79 they loaded up our recruit class on prisoner transport vans and drove us to Lake and Harlem and the Howard St. El stops to shovel snow off the tracks. A guy in my class asked a CTA laborer if the power to the rails had been cut off while we shoveled. Sure he said. About 10 minutes later, the wooden shovel with the sheet metal strip on the blade arc sparked and went flying about 20 feet in the air. Yeah sure kid, they turned off the power to the 3rd rail. We're just fodder. Nobody but your partner and family give a shit about you.
Iâm so embarrassed to work here... 2 more years, thankfully.
When I was a recruit Dec of 78 during the big blizzard we were called to the academy I think of a Sunday. After sitting around for a while, we were loaded into squadrols and taken to various CTA yards and stations to shovel snow. Running under panic mode is nothing new for the city.
Well at least they are getting paid. And not laid off. Wish them well and thank them. Itâs a very dirty job
Probabaly. The first time squads are actual clean. Ever
I want to know. Have masks been distributed to all. District personnel. And what about those who were off Thursday and Friday. Did any of you get one
Lmao that SUUUUUCKS!!!
Reminds me of that goober recruit who seemed to enjoy his job shoveling shit behind the mounted unit horse.
Welcome to the job, only 28 more years (or far less if youâre smart).
Larry Lightfoot said the Police are prepared to respond to all emergencies during her address to the city. Prepared with what, expired hand sanitizer and limited protective gear. Where was the Union Leadership calling a press conference exposing her as the liar she is. Silent as usual. I just cast my vote for Catanzara. Can't be any worse.
Hey Kids...Get ready for a Looooooooong career of Bullshit! Use the City of Chicago and let them pay for your education, then get the Fuck out!!! My best advice to you young ones: Advance Forward NOT BACKWARDS.
Any extra ketchup packets?
Yeah some horses ass at 35th prolly came up with that detail
Lovely. Any tyvek suits? Face shields? I get the whole "make the recruits do the dirty work" stuff during regular times... But during a pandemic? Fucking ridiculous and dangerous
Once the first recruit that comes down with the Chinese Flu the first thing is the cover up, then once exposed they'll shut it down. Then what?
Because lightfoot wants to put them in a no pay status!
Someone cue the theme from Carwash.
C'mon.
Somebody.
Anybody???
Bueller!!!!!????!

Reminds me of that 70's movie Carwash...
The unions aren't raising a stink over this cause THEY surely don't want to be tasked with disinfecting our cars!
If you donât have a family and youâre in your Twenties LEAVE!!!!
This isnât worth it. The Department is nothing but Cancer that is metastatic.
Your Twenties arenât worth this gig. Go find another where you can have a normal Life. No one tells you that your Co POs are susceptible to self harm in all its forms.
30Apr01 and my co POs have self checked out way way past whatever is normal. I saw a female Sgt having a conversation as my Partner and I were coming in for check off. She had the trunk up and I just assumed she didnât see us. Exiting the car to ask if she could let us get by to park so we could bounce I saw the person she was having the conversation with.
It was herself. She was Sector Sgt on 2nd watch about to âsuperviseâ other POs along with her invincible buddy. This wasnât funny at all. Her watch was fully aware of her special friend too.
Itâs not worth it & somehow this PD continues to get worse.
Leave & go have a Life
Hate to say the obvious, but at that duty cycle,
you'll be out of supplies in about 3 days flat.
Good luck with that zany directive.
And it was issued by WHO? Larry Zany Lightfoot?
Thank you Larry "No Medical Background" Lightfoot.
Hay Chicago voters! Next election vote the mayor and all her cronies out!! It is your kids who joined the Police force and may join the Chicago Police force in the future that are being treated like this by Chicago's managers. She has sanitizer every five feet but gives the Chicago Police officers expired sanitizer! Vote her out! Your kids may be next! Vote them all out and lets get new people who have some semblance of being honest and human.
So wait they should do nothing but sit on their asses? they are here to assist in anyway possible and personally thank them,and this helps us! Was in the service when your just starting your the gofer,and scrubbing toilets so what is the problem??
Careful filling vehicles with gas , the passing of virus is alive and well on nozzles ...
They must be paid; they're on payroll already.
Low-skilled in LE. Not many options.
City & CPD leaving coppers exposed everyday.
Seems a practical,(tho not 100% effective) use of resources.
Recruits are new coppers who can no longer be trained. You have to do something with them. If you (salty, 5 years plus) we're told to sanitize cars, you would say "no way" and beef. Let them have at it, getting paid good money to clean. Fleet can't do anything as they don't clean vehicles anyway.
Well they canât be put on the street. They canât answer phones. They canât write reports. The city could have sent them home without getting a paycheck. Just sayinâ.
Something that the recruits are using to clean the cars is causing a burning sensation in my lungs. What the fuck are they using in the squad cars ?????
should send fop board to clean
take 20 minutes to clean your vehicle and bring your own bleach, bucket, and rags.
stay safe Ald. O'shea
The reaction to this entire scenario, nation wide, so right now we all should be stepping over bodies in the streets right?
Pay attention to the schools that are now vacant, are there numerous vans installing 5G?
Watch the other hand.
Big difference between recruites and car wash movie. All the workers in the movie were Ex cons, the wanna bees not so much. Although with new hiring standards no so sure.
Maybe the 399 Fleet guys can help them 4 were sleeping claimed they were over worked from fixing plumbing issues
Mayor and Magnum please take a deep breath and step back. Ok NOW demote every single merit promotee back to patrolmen. Every fuckin' one of them. Now take every Lt left separate the cheaters and those in secrete study groups. Now take what's left and put them in charge they earned it. 96% of our Command staff has a merit promotion, it's true the command list has been gone over and those are the numbers. Sad very very sad. The chief of patrol goes in front of a law enforcement group and says " Be proud of your merit promotions, I have 3 of them. Own them" WTF Fred you are a nice man but you were probably over promoted at patrolmen.
Our department is fucked and I'm not sure it can be un-fucked ever. Having recruits washing cars was approved by 96% of our command staff.
Not in 011. Recruits were sent to Headquarters!!! Priorities!!

GREAT post brother or sister. Tell the teachers that they have to scrub down the classrooms and see what they say or do.
Right on with that post....Thanks!
Wax on, wax off. I'm sure CPD exempt are very familiar with the second part of that.

Preparedness. World Class 21st Century police department, could this be an LAPD thing?
Mmmm-mmm-mmmmm.
Workinâ at the Car Wash, yeah.
Gotta wonder whoâs supervising the crew.
BTW, is there gonna be any Amour-all for the tires in that refresh detail?
But please, hold that spritz of jasmine primp oil.
You just have to laugh. Reduced to washing cars.
Imbecile mayor and an foolish lot of Multi-Merit hacks who probably will stop by a District and get their TakeHome washed out for good measure.
Listen up new people, This city doesnât care about you. You are just a number like the number on your star. Start applying to other departments for cities who love the police when you get close to 3 years here. Get your police experience and say goodbye to Chiraq and donât look back.
itâs messed up that coppers line up and sit in their cars waiting for these kids to clean their shitty vehicles. Seriously guys... get out grab a new rag or some wipes and clean your own car. Itâs pathetic seeing police officers 4,5,6 cars deep waiting for someone to clean up after them. I get that they need something to do but itâs 30 deg outside. Come on

Wow that brings back memories, for the old timers the bucket issue when you arrived at boot camp.
Itâs not just that we are saddled with the incompetence from our bosses, silence from our union but the gut feeling our Mayor is actually has criminal indifference towards First Responders. At a time for a leader to lead she has proven to be vile and more focused on her partisan attacks on a President facing a global pandemic. Please mail your ballots in for Catanzara someone needs to radically call out this brazen hatred and a fat complacent pansy condoning it.

100%. Wrong .

There are a lot of people losing their livelihood. The city could have laid off all these hundreds of recruits. Officers would be complaining if they had to disinfect their own cars (which no one ever cleans on their own anyway). I bet these kids are more than happy to help us out by cleaning the cars, while still making 40k a year. In difficult times, this isnât a horrible idea. The way the city has equipped us to handle the entirety of the situation is the horrible idea.
Wouldnât it be something if all those expired sanitizers got mailed to her at City Hall?
1. Keep all receipts of cleaning supplies and any extras you have to buy
2. Flood the unions with calls
3. Donât make stupid arrest, or any if possible
4. Flood the unions with calls
5. Start a class action lawsuit. I am trying
Take it easy on the younguns, it's not their fault that we have been hit with the general tso's flu.
The wagons were hauling stiffs during AIDs, during the bad heat summers. Stiffs everyday and I got stuck on it cause the princess's might break a nail. The city didn't give us shit and we had to go begging to Hospitals, who luckily liked us at the time. Grab gloves at a hospital today and they will get a CR#.
My kid is applying for Federal agencys. I wouldn't let him take the city test.
7 of these jagoffs shot last night. Thats 7 less hospital beds and I'm sure a few are rutabaga's chewing up some respirators. And listen to this fucking guy. He keeps the polls open yet is calling for retired Doctors and nurses to come back. He himself is worth 3.4 b, his family far more, and he spent 200 m just to buy an election.
Our leaders. Gee where do I sign up. https://chicago.suntimes.com/coronavirus/2020/3/21/21189341/illinois-coronavirus-cases-stay-home-order-march-21

Must work then. Old school- any product that works good is hazardous. DDT, mercury thermometers ,copper naphtha-late, lead paint, asbestos kids pajamas, etc.,ect.
IROCC is not a federal program. Lee County Florida looks at your retired I.D. and gives you a card on the spot. No qualification. Completely voluntary.
Some ain't youngins close to 40yrs old!
To the poster at 1056pm it is absolutely 100% correct go to the iroc site and read it states that all qualifications are suspended through april of 2020 and no extensions will be granted.

Looks like they are using Odor Ban. It is a good disinfecting product used in hospitals. However they should be cutting it with water. If they are using it at full strength you can be overwhelmed by it.
If I only had a nickel for every time you fuckers tell a recruit that they missed a spot.
Start calling your State Reps and Senator(s)! File grievances; not just call the Union office.
Same goes for CFD personnel. Add any other City employees or contractors affected by this massive dumpster fire. Spouses and significant others might also have a lawsuit, but that's more of a stretch.
First order of the day should be that everyday the second watch and 3rd watch will take the car to the wash. Then they can be sanitized by the recruits who dont have any rights. Either clean or quit. Shittysystem.
What about the police command Van's, they are used for SWAT jobs and other jobs where they are all crammed inside, no ventilation and God knows that the operators dont do anything to maintain these trucks. Just look at how banged up they are. Not like the old days when they were always clean and ready to go. Oh well I guess culture has a place here.

--- I know. I think they're using Fabuloso or some cheap shit like that!
Back in the day or possibly still going on, the Crook County Court house, u could get your squad car cleaned by a low-level criminal, just bring the Do-nut's and everyone was HAPPY!

Not wrong. Talked to them on the phone a few days ago. Thatâs the information they gave, but I suspect you know more about their program than they do
Out of concern and safety for all of our participants, IROCC will be cancelling all qualification shoots beginning at the end of business 3/20/2020. All of our shoots through April 2020 are cancelled. Scheduling for qualification shoots is currently suspended. Once we have information regarding upcoming dates and locations all eligible participants that are currently being processed, will receive an updated schedule to choose a date and location to attend a shoot.
Please keep in mind, there is no grace period after your current card expires. Your IROCC card is a qualification card for Federal Law H.R. 218 Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act. We do not have any authority to make such changes. If something does change, we will post this information immediately.
The IROCC office will be closed until March 30th, where we will reopen with limited hours.

This young man is smart and will do well in life. He could make every attempt to protect himself but the rest of the idiotic turds that already drink the Kool-Aid would do him in.
What a bunch of dumbasses! CFD would NEVER waste valuable time with recruits being tasked for something like that! You guys make the county sheriff look like Harvard! Dummies you are!!!!!
If they are using bleach, hydrogen peroxide or ammonia based cleaning products they will damage all the plastic and vinyl in those vehicles.

If we learn anything from the current nationwide and city of Chicago situation, it should be that we can no longer tolerate this Political Correctness, Diversity, Affirmative Action bullshit in any form, anymore. Our Leadership in everything sucks badly. Incompetence, Dysfunctionality, and Pretzel-Logic simply have to be abandoned, and people with proven track records need to be restored to Leadership positions everywhere. We need our best and brightest to lead us. Career Politicians have dropped the ball time and time again, and still get re-elected. Physically weak, Cowardly Cops and Firefighters have been hired to excess, and they will not work to save your ass if you need help in an emergency situation. Politicians too busy trying to secure their political power and control are making daily decisions without any consideration of protecting our Nation and its CITIZENS, from ALL types of harm, danger, and collapse. People who have no business being here in our country have sneaked in illegally, spreading drugs, crime, disease and more, and have drained our Nations resources with their freeloading. This BS has simply got to stop , NOW. Time to head Back to the times when things worked the best, for OUR Country, and OUR Citizens. We simply cannot be the world's babysitter and worlds policeman any more. We helped EVERYone, and now that we need help badly, we get Jack-Shit, in return. Enough is Enough. This Leftist/Globalist Mentality must end, NOW. We need to immediately stop being the worlds biggest Chummps.
