Again with the HQ "Dumps"

  • The Chicago Police Department is adding 100 officers to patrol the streets beginning next month, pulling them from desk jobs, officials said Friday.

    The new assignments come as the warmer weather brings the threat of more violence. During the long Memorial Day weekend, more than 50 people were shot in the city. The following day, at least 28 more people were shot.

    Fifteen percent of sworn officers currently working at police headquarters will be permanently reassigned to the city’s 22 patrol districts on June 7. This will not include officers working on functions related to a federally mandated consent decree to improve the city’s policing practices.
But it's not really "permanent:"
  • Officers tapped to work the streets from headquarters will be deployed “on a rotating two-week schedule,” according to a statement from the department.
Because everyone knows that gang violence operates on a two-week cycle. Brownie and Groot have consulted with someone - probably Malinowski or Lemmer - and the next cycle begins promptly on 07 June.

One hundred officers working on two-week cycles is fifty officers per deployment. Divided among 22 Districts is about 2.2 officers per district per two week cycle - one entire car. Since the mice are already on days, they'll be ordered to be left on days so as not to disturb their sleep cycles.

They'll also have weekends off....unless they're unlucky enough to already be assigned to Friday/Saturday or Sunday/Monday day off groups....you know, exactly when the extra manpower would be most helpful to the Districts. Real big help this is going to be. We're better off with the hundreds dumped out of Homan Square.

After eight different Reductions in Force, there can't be anybody left at HQ, right?

To the best of my knowledge, it sounds more legit this time than before. It sounds like details are being cancelled and people are actually being returned to their unit of assignment, without hope of return to HQ.
Lots of bitching and lots of phone calls being made.
Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Lies, lies, lies! Lead from the front. Why does the corrupt puppet master Riccio get to have 7 secretaries in his office? He's responsible for a history & the practice of having Lts & Sgts as office secretaries. They eventually get miraculously promoted to exempt rank. Hell, as of recent he's promoted his Lt secretary to Captain and brought the new Capt back to his office as a now Capt rank secretary; in addition to his Sgt secretary & all the other POs currently hidden in his office. Start change by eliminating the corruption at the top first.

100 Officers in 22 districts spread over 3 watches including Days off (weekends?) accomplishes exactly nothing! The new Supt. must feel like a gelded thoroughbred.
So what do you have next Brown? Please tell me that you have some plan...With the riot culture mentality building up in cities, I suppose we will all be on 12 hour shifts soon enough.
The community largely doesn't want more policing, and is tired of the "Gestapo" police tactics. I suggest we back off, save the OT budget, and go back in when they are asking nicely for some police service in order to preserve Law & order in their communities.
Until they decide, I remain Fetal.

Those that are least liked or have the least amount of clout will be regular visitors to the districts. I am also sure that some will be so shocked and scared by the thought of working in a violent area that they will break down and cry and put their clout on speed dial. I worked a stint of a few years at HQ and found that many have spent their entire career in that building, decades. A few were promoted ( detective, sergeant) and came right back to the building. Brown has a lot to learn

When will they learn. The only thing this will accomplish is increasing those on the medical. And if they ever go on the street, they will spend every second hiding and avoiding work. If they come even close to anything they will always ask for help and a supervisor. They will in fact create a manpower drain simply by their presence. Seen it happen every time they try to put house mouses on the street.

I’ve spent most of my career at HQ- we are always put on Fri/Sat or Sun/Mon DOGs in the summer. If they really want to make a difference detail the officers to a district watch for those 2 weeks and put them in a beat car or a rapid car. Instead they create a unit out of 011 or the old 007, bring in a lieutenant, a few sergeants, and a few POs to run it and handle the admin. Much like Operation Closed Market, Operation Safe Passage, Safe Summer, Safe Schools, and the rest I can’t remember. It’s just a way to bring more people into the HQ fold. At the roll calls they assign everyone to a HQ sergeant who also hasn’t worked the street in years and they tell their “cars” and I use that term loosely not to get into anything because they don’t want to have to figure out how to do a TRR or AIRA. Usually the lieutenant assigns the cars to either a west side 10, 11, or 15 or south side 5, 6, 7 for the tour but were told we can respond to calls but don’t go down on the air and take the job. After roll call 90% of the officers don’t even turn their radio on or to the correct zone and either drive to their old district of assignment to bs with the guys still there, go to their residence and drive around and run errands there, or most get called back to HQ to take care of something and spend their tour there. Sadly most have actual work, be it work that a civilian could be doing, but it piles up and needs to get done. The same exempts who come up with these ideas and want people on the street for this stuff, it used to be 1 week a month, or 1 day a week, are the ones calling the Lieutenant and saying send so and so to see me, so they can do their work for the tour. Trust me, none of us mind going back on the street when it’s run like this, it’s like a 2 week vacation from our desk jobs.

Since they got rid of park cars I wonder if they will have us patrolling the parks.

NOW the best part. If you do have to call HQ you will hear, "Oh the one that does that is on the street you will need to call back in two weeks"! So asked them, if they get run over by a bus no one knows their job?

Someone tell the bosses on CW6 that when a mass arrest is made officers cannot sign complaints on a disorderly conduct charge. Everyone knows police officer's peace cannot be breached. But not the people leading this department, apparently. PO called those bosses out on it over the air. They eventually settled on reckless conduct. That OEMC recording will sound real good at Dirksen when it is played. Arresting citizens and you don't even know for what...

I’m a retired wheel gun guy who had 32 years on when I retired.
In every dog and pony show “HQ Dump” I saw it was a complete joke.
A few less clouted house mice would actually get “tossed” out of HQ but then even more would be brought into HQ discreetly through the back door.
It happens EVERY time they do this smoke and mirrors, dog and pony show.
Any kind of half ass audit of HQ would show this to be true.

So, if you have one PO working a full time job at HQ, and suddenly make them work half their amount of time and put the other half on the street. Don’t you need another Po working full time to pick up the slack, especially if that PO will also be spending half their time on the street?
If not, how did they justify having a full time PO spot with only part time work to do?

Seems like just another excuse to bring more POS into HQ to pick up the slack when the work starts to pile up.

It would be like saying we are going to take half the beat cars and personnel away, but still answer all the jobs. It’s not going to take long to be in a rap and need more help!

Heck, 100 house mice couldn’t even handle the grand reopening of the lakefront and Michigan Avenue Store if allowed, in late September.
Another knee jerk reaction.
Any more than 100 would be a burden down at the uniform store.
A 100 house mouse brigade, essentially detailed to bolster the daytime attendance roster. Wonder if that 100 is to include an addition 15-20 house mouse Sgts and two Lts? What’s it gonna be a 0600 start too?
Pad the A&A’s and the Area Chiefs think they’re sharp, earning that pay.
Hey, it worked 20-25 years ago huh.

Does anyone know the true number of police officers working out of 35th street. Assigned AND detailed there. There are people detailed in there for years, but also counted in the district totals they were detailed from. So basically you’re assigned to the 11th District and counted in their manpower totals, but you spend your tour of duty at HQ.
What’s even more interesting are the people who are never seen by either the detailed out of unit or the detailed into unit. Must be a “cloud” unit.

A lot of the new people don’t feel that way and have no intention of working the streets. And they don’t, they cry to the bosses who give in and let them work inside. Talk to the new recruits who already have spots waiting for them
