Giving you a tiny hint of how well this system is "working:"

Subject: Temporary Change to Swipe Procedures
Dear City of Chicago Employee:
Effective Friday, March 13, 2020, biometric swiping is temporarily suspended until further notice.
You are still required to swipe in and out each workday, but you are not required to place your hand on the palm reader.
Below are the new procedures for swiping:
Swipe your identification card with the picture side of the identification card facing you and the bar code toward the card reader. With the photo positioned at the bottom, slide the card from the top of the card reader to the bottom. NOTE: Before inserting the identification card into the card reader, ensure that the bar code on the identification cards is clean and dry. You can also enter your badge number instead of using the identification card.
Place your right hand into the mouth of the clock above the pegs. You do not need to place your hand on the card reader platform or contact the finger pins.
If needed, move your hand, very slightly from left to right, until the red alignment lights on the display go out.
When the green light flashes, a low-toned “beep” is heard, and the screen displays “OKAY,” your swipe has been accepted. If the time clock malfunctions or does not accept the swipe, please notify your immediate supervisor.
We haven't used the biometric part of the machine since it started. We throw our card on the machine, our wallet, our keys, ticket books, whatever we happen to have in our hands. We've even seen "courtesy waves" from the next copper in line to expedite the process.
How much did they spend on this?

They sent out a message for about 5 minutes stating swiping was suspended all together. It immediately got pulled and now this one came out in its place. Trust me, they still want swiping and they will get it.
What is the departments plan once 1/3 of us are on the medical at once??
You touch your card- Still swiping card in reader, the reader has everyone's card go threw it. Sounds like a good way to transmit the virus when u pull it out of reader and stick it back in your wallet

Badge...I got no stikin' badge.
I don't got to show you any badge.
To the dummy who wrote this order:
We have a Star, capital S.
LA cops carry a Badge, capital B.
NYPD have a Shield, capital S.
Get it right, show some respect.
You are a civilian demoCrap. Small c, small d.
A couple years ago, when we were supposed to start swiping, there was a meeting with city on swiping. A few departnent supervisors brought up the part about placing your hand and the device and how it was totally against what we have been trained on concerning scene safety and body substance isolation. The city employee who has some roll with the swiping machine and who is Asian threw a fit over the supervisors' suggestion to take out the hand part of it. He even called them "Pussies" over it.
Somebody get the name and serial number of that apparatus.
We're about to do a trace back.
Biometrics???? Laughable. The department has never taken scans of everyone’s hands to compare. You could put a crash test dummy’s hand or your foot in it when swiping out. This is one of the many many reasons why this place is a joke. Even in their message they are clueless.
I refuse to consider a change in my swiping habits. Therefore I will not swipe.

There heart skiped three beats just thinking of the possibility.
Complete moron. Don’t put your hand on the bottom, but you can put it on the top. And we keep hiring and promoting these idiots.
This is not a change, read the order you never had to place your hand on the machine. It states you do not have too place your hand on the machine but only in between and it stated that specifically.
You touched every doorknob and car door handle in the district this week, the biometric box is no different than the bathroom toilet seat.

Try this: have one guy use his palm for the whole

i can't wait until the federal government passes legislation so i can go on paid medical leave
Yeah, I knew a jag off named Forest who called himself Tim.
Got more.
I suspended swiping months ago for health concerns sometimes you have to do what's best for you.
In the counterculture of the 1960s freaks used to carry a
picture of Bozo the Clown as ID. Same thing here.
I think the we have the BLUEvirus. So let the community protect itself.

Myself, I just think English is a more poetic language than
Spanish. But that's just me.
Entire districts are not swiping, and told to not swipe by their bosses, i am not swiping, entire area detectives are not swiping, entire sat and gun teams are not swiping, i havent swiped in months, and never will. Its a joke. Saves no money. Overtime? Sure, thats fine. I'll swipe in and out. Thats reasonable. But we dont need to be babysat anymore than we already are, on so many levels of oversight. Sgt's log us multiple times a day, and physically check us off at the end of the tour.
We need a giant Muffler Man statue to confirm our very
existence
Swipe? Only if we can go to Pono Burger.
Those memories were locked in my mind from a
long time ago. Swiping brought back a cascade.
When this thing starts growing barnacles it will be pulled.
It's that simple.

I'm mental now
I give it right back. Do you?
I enter my employee number when I decide to swipe, all good. Wash my finger tip and good to go!
Their indecision is their best quality.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Spicy Pucker is a real flavor and it's everywhere
Stop swiping Long Ago. What they gonna do fire me??
At the firehouse someone once put the dogs paw on the scanner and it was accepted as an employee
But LA’Chollie said we ain’t factory workers!
Imagine if they did this swiping thing for voters, gubmint benefit allocation or good gosh....Elected Officials.
Worker suppressive, demeaning, selective and outrageous display of totalitarianism.
Reliable and proven implanted RFID chips could be a better method, or how about infrared retinal scanning, facial recognition, install some sort of conveyor like airport baggage at the back doe.
But it’s cheaper and easier to just ear tag us like cattle and swine, run us thru an ultraviolet bacterial light and delousing chute, all under the watchful DSS posted up with a clipboard and stopwatch.
There’s always an opportunity for an insider to scam the city with the next great idea, especially under the divisive inclusionista Larri.Lightloafers.
This is one of the dumbest "ideas" I've ever heard of! What numbskull came up with this? Blaaahaahahahahahaha!
Some fool making big bucks put out this tutorial....
Holy friggin shit. Do this, if it don’t work, do that,
and if that don’t work, try this. Or maybe wiggle this,
Then put in that. Wait for the light....or if all else fails,
Just enter your BADGE number.....
Hey dummy......we don’t need no stinking badges!
I haven’t swiped in or out in about a month and a half. I don’t know of anyone who is still swiping in and out both. If you are, you’re an idiot and an company man..
OT can anyone tell me why zone 10 is not streaming on the scanner apps. My wife listens to this when she is awake with her maladies and I don’t have an answer. Thanks from an old retired guy.
If anyone with the virus coughs on their hand and swipes their card in the reader, this will subsequently contaminate all cards swiped. Similarly, if you punch in your number, the next person typing in their number in gets contaminated. Punching in is something that can easily be eliminated to protect employees.
Opps, I forgot to swipe in/out several times this past month!
What’s stupid is the fact that the department is more concerned about swiping than the safety of it’s officers. Putting your hand in the machine means nothing. Do they have a hand print of everyone somewhere? Did they secretly sneak into our homes while we’re sleeping and take a hand print? Dumb
So this is the cpd's master plan to deal with the virus? This is exactly what it was before, no one was required to use the biometric scan, because of legal issues of scanning our fingerprints. So everyone we are all good, the swipe plan has solved all the dangers of the virus for the dept.
Basically all they’ve changed is to not actually touch the hand scanner. Which isn’t really a change because as we all figured out, it was never necessary in the first place. This email is the exact same swiping process, no changes. Although they do go into great detail about how to swipe your card. Thanks Chicago, you’re really on the ball. I’ll continue to not swipe, eat a bag of fuck.
Can't wait to retire from this shithole!!!!!
Again, I havent swiped and my paycheck hasnt changed. Bite me.

We were told at roll call yesterday that swiping was gone all together due to coronavirus. By the time roll call was over the WC got an email to his phone saying that plan was scrapped and now swipe. This department is so unorganized and nobody has a clue what they are doing.
"You can also enter your badge number instead....."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By badge number, they mean the 5/6 digit number that comes up on the screen when you swipe your ID. Look quick, cause it disappears pretty fast. Would be better called your ID number, not to be confused with your star, PC, or employee #.
Other departments have had to use their hand on the machine, otherwise their supervisor had to edit the swipe. At least sworn members have been exempt from the biometric part from the beginning.
OTOTOT::::::::
Any1 know why LarryLitefoot was @ 311 today for all of about 3 mins. Dip’d in spoke 2’Desk Sgt n dip’d out.
Also..... 911 Tech guys/gals were @ 311 other day auditing workstations. They said it was in preparation of when (NOT if) 911 (OEMC) is quarantined.
Not an Act or God. More like an Act or Evil!
Meanwhile at the airport, hundred of people have to use their fingerprint and the commissioner said WELL, then they can’t come to work!
Instead of swiping their card?!
HOW STUPID!

The old (Dip'd) I was just in the neighborhood boss....
Yeah, saw that before when I covered for him every
Saturday. That wasn't enough. Had to see if any checks came
in the mail. Also the "you're always being watched" vibe.
swiping is for factory workers........
It’s no secret that Rich Peplinski from Isd is the big “pusher” for swiping. The question is WHY are you so adamant about pushing swiping?
Please respond yourself if you would like (obviously).

Total fucking pussy. They let him be the acting desk sgt in 011 when he had two seconds on the job. Dumb fuck didnt know you could smell PCP, in the PCP capital of the city. He is a dangerous combination of scared, dumb and arrogant.

No clue, tell her to listen to zone 11 when she is awake with her maladies.
What about the keypads to enter the stations
My biometric was the middle finger extended when they had us start this foolishness and it worked, not long after, I retired.
3\14 9:51pm this guy is something else he is afraid to work the street so he is REALLY REALLY trying to push swiping to the max with the hope that the “wanna be” chicago police officer civilian Deputy Chief Khan keeps him inside. Stay tuned to the real chicago police officers who went through the police academy and actually worked on the streets.
Peplinski was no better in the 002nd district so it’s no suprise this guy would sell his soul to stay inside but that’s dangerous, because he has no street time so his mentality will show when making decisions for the working police. How many times have you said to yourself who thought of this some genius who is not the police well.....
It was once said that you could indict a ham sandwich in this county. Well add one to the list, you can also swipe a ham sandwich in this county.
"...wash my fingertip and good to go..."
Just don't pull your finger.
