More Units Gone?

And the Return of Mobile Strike Force?


No idea how they take Summer Mobile and turn it into a stand-alone unit. Aren't there Detectives there for the summer or has that gone by the wayside? This was a detail - there are contractual considerations here, right?

And don't forget, last time they had a Mobile Strike Force, they disbanded it and sent everyone to south side Districts that were down manpower. Is this happening again?

UPDATE: Must be true - the media stole it from here again:
  • Chicago police announced Tuesday that they would be forming a citywide violent crime unit midway through a bloody summer that has already seen three consecutive weekends with at least 65 people shot, and multiple children killed in each of them.

    The specialized new unit is meant “to tackle violent crime and create community partnerships in some of our most challenging areas,” the department said in a statement.

    “The ultimate goal of the Chicago Police Department’s organizational restructuring that began earlier this year has always been to bolster police resources under the authority of district commanders, while also being able to address spikes in violent crime citywide,” the department said.

    Once implemented, the new unit will “impact” gun, saturation and gang enforcement teams in each of the city’s five police Areas, the department said. In the meantime, police are bolstering the Summer Mobile Patrol Unit, a task force of 100 officers focusing on high-crime areas.
So do they exist yet? Any bets on the first neighborhood video being shown that alleges improper procedure, brutality or popcorn munching?

We give it seven days, tops, before the first "media" story. Thirty days before Groot strips a member of the Unit.

Mike “P.T. Barnum” Barz has done it again. After parlaying several notable Internal Affairs Division investigations into two quick merit promotions to the rank of Lieutenant and Captain, he will soon be named Commander of the new “Rapid Response Unit” when his Summer Mobile Detail ends. Another name floated around for this last-ditch effort of a Unit to stop gang shootings and murders is the Crime Response Team (CRT), modeled after an elite Division in the Dallas PD.

Regardless, Commander Barz’s new Unit name will not be allowed to have any threatening words in the title, such as Mobile “Strike” Force or “Tactical” Response Unit, which may offend gang bangers and general public.

In the same manner that he bamboozled exempts for years with free Cubs tickets, World Series and concert tickets through his employment with Major League Baseball at Wrigley Field, he has successfully sold himself as the prophet who will stop gang shootings.

Will CPD brass actually grant him a secondary employment exemption, only given to a select few exempt members in the history of CPD, so he can continue working for MLB to give away premium tickets? Ever hear the saying, "I know someone that could sell snow to an Eskimo?"

Baby Boomers recycling old ideas from the PLAY BOOK.
Job preservation is a thing of the past!!!
Out with the OLD and IN with the NEW Never meant maintaining a broken operation by promoting within the same District or Bureau!!
It IS BROKEN and NEEDS FIXING!!!
More refinement needed:
No one over the rank of a Sgt at HQ units.
Disband ALL Units with redundant roles
Are you really worried about contractual obligations? Abide by it!!
have All detectives back out - evaluate their house mouse jobs every 6 months
DIO, SDSC, gang Intelligence are doing what exactly? How about uniformity for God’s sake!! Start with a disbandment and end with district level unified approach. The District is in charge!!! And that’s why you also have an AREA Administration!!
De centralize as NO city wide approach can eliminate or fill a district / Area need!!i know what I need and when I need it!!!

Well we are back to commanders trying to get POs to break the law and go after people for “loitering”. Had a commander call a sgt to go move some poor minority gentleman who were just hanging out talking to each other. They even had masks, commander insulates himself from any type of complaint while forcing a sgt and POs to conduct a stop that perhaps lacked reasonable articulable suspicion of any criminal activity. Commanders don’t care about POs careers I’m sure the commander would be right there to have the officers back if the stop went bad or a complaint comes in.

Anyone who volunteers for this is a serious asshole of the highest order.

However, the city will get exactly what they want.
There are a lot of good coppers in gang enforcement who had knowledge of the job from back when you could still be semblance of the police.
Once they fuck these gang enforcement guys over- the only volunteers will be these 2-3 year wonders who have no clue what police work should be. There will be a lot of “be the change” cops who volunteer, and a lot of hipster-cops who think that they can maybe get laid telling broads at the bar that they work in the “elite” STROKE FORCE 2.0.

Again, anyone who volunteers for this is a sell out, the mayors lackey, and will get thrown away by the city in the end.
In the meantime- I will not buy a benefit ticket from any idiot that goes to this unit and gets jammed up.

It is difficult to Grasp, how it is possible for so many highly paid Poleece Executives; to be so devoid of an Original Idea! In addition planning and putting together a Summer Mobile after the two main holidays of the Summer; Memorial Day and 4th of July have passed, is absurd! Especially when Taste of Chicago and the Air Show are cancelled. This Summer Mobile sounds like a “Play” or “Pretend” TRU, and Old Timers remember how that ended. How can this be a Summer Mobile, when beaches are closed. The only ones dumb enough to fall for this would be White kids with less than 3 yrs on “Da Job” working midnights in 007. Don’t fall for their lies! Baby “G”

Print this out for the Superintendent.

Have you issued the call? Will you stand with the officers? Are you ready to fight? Then we will all casts our lots toghther. We are fighting evil, either with the mayor's office, our local media folks, the gangs, & especially versus these child killers. We have the same goal to save lives & put murderes in jail. Unless you are a charlatan, a fake, a money grabber, then we lose this battle.

But now your mission lies ahead of you, as did mine so long ago. To help the helpless ones, and to defend them to the end.

Be proud & stand up for us. We all look up to you. The CPD officers here will live your dream- if you also defend us before that fake police board.


If money, ego, and power are the goal of your time here expect more death. But if it is not - tell the mayor off, and let us police.

But I question this. How did you fall so far from the mission? The honor to be the police. I feel thar as an exempts you fell for the coin as Judas did. Please, wake up, or be truly woke. Stop placating liars and criminals. Stand with your officers. Tell these liberals off. Call a press confrence- say : we will chase your cars, fight your criminals, arrest your law breakers. but you won't enjoy the optics as they do not appeal to you in the public eye. These voters are dumb, lazy, ignorant, fools, easily duped, they listen to liars, & are in the end - failures- f them. Rise above money & power. Gain higher operational thinking & see truth.

Because if you dont - you might as well be a GD, Latin King, or a Vice Lord because of current CPD policies, and Chicago's City Hall members protect them already in the name of reform.

We will save the city if you unleash us, but the truth is - you're a street gang member on their payroll even if you know it or not. Be the change by destroying these gangs & criminals even if it looks bad on camera.

This has been in the making I’m sure for quite some time except they wanted to use all of you for the Fourth of July then dump you all and screw with your schedules. Keep working for this department and administration so you can continue to get crapped on. You have up a good thing so you could wear cool backwards hats and sit at crime scenes and look cool. Well, now you got thrown in uniform, put in surge boxes and now your 10 hour days stripped away. Good luck. You HAD a good thing and now you have to deal with everything that comes with a citywide unit which includes being hated by every district, desk crew, desk sgt and lock up crew and as the supe said when he got here doing community service one day a week in the ghetto and parade you around in the media as the warm and fuzzy community response unit. You will be used and abused by this department and thrown all over the place where numbers numbers numbers are going to be rammed down your throat. Most of you left a good thing and now lost 10 hour days. Uniforms, 4-2 schedule and being the city whores. Man, some of you left good teams to do this. Good luck. Oh, and if you wanna come back to the district you’re gonna have to wait for the NOJO process in order to get back on a tac team.. in other words, get in line.

Just ask Barz how many police officers he has arrest and fired?

He is so proud of this number? Even if the investigations are overturned!

Now ask him how many times he was called on carpet to reprimand him?

All because of his over zealous actions while in IAD!
He is right only in his mind......
He was famous for making up reports with no evidence.
He intimidated officers and witnesses.

Why do you think he has not been offered a spot back in IAD! Even after merit promotions!

Once a RAT always a RAT. Is not just a saying!

Watch out for Barz, he lives off of police officers bad luck!

This is just Democommie City and CPD Leaders wishing in one hand and shitting in their other. Nothings going to change under their Leadership. They are just hoping once again to bullshit the Public, while the city runs rampant with violence and sky high crime, under their Watch. This will never change or get much better until Conservative Republican Leadership comes to Chiraq. Moronic Chicagoans have elected a mentally deranged Lunatic, and now they will have to live with it. CPD has gone from the once proud and highly effective “Real Police” to a missh mosh of College kids, Soy-Boys, and politically woke Social Workers in the past several years. Forget ever getting control of the City again under the current or future Democrat Political Regimes, it aint happenin. They are the cause of all these current problems, not the solution, and they have no solutions, just lies, and a kick the can down the road mentality.

To put the sarcasm aside, any cop that volunteers for this unit is an idiot. It's not the "time". You sneeze wrong and you'll be stripped, suspended, fired or criminally charged.

Barz was completely incompetent at IAD. He was allowed to assign himself cases that he thought could advance his career, then when the case turned out to be BS he just let them sit. Officers weren’t cleared because Barz was off chasing the next big thing and not doing the actual cases. He got his merit promotion for some very shady deals. His cases should be FOID. He should be ashamed and ridiculed. He made deals with multiple devils. What should really be looked at is all the cases Barz assigned himself then let sit not being investigated, then they had to be reassigned after his merit promotion. How long those cases just sat. Anyone reading Barz’s case summaries and looking at the way his cases progressed will be shocked how incompetent a MERIT hack he is.

Anyone soft enough to even consider working for Mike BARZ should definitely be psych evaluated.His illustrious career began by tattling on his partner in the old 019th District.From there he served a rather cowardly tenure in the Internal Affairs Unit sandbagging working Officers with half ass witch hunts.His stint in IAD rapped up with the coverup of the Lieutenants Cheating Scandal which gifted him his Lieutenant bars along with a notorious group of Sergeants from IAD.Of course his real 1st job has been heading the security detail for the Chicago Cubs.The Chicago Police Department just keeps marching on.

You can make up all the fancy-schmancy titles four units in the CPD, but really all it is is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. As long as you officers keep getting duped into this nonsense, it will never change. They are toying with you. They waive a fancy unit title in front of you young simpletons, in the hopes that you will bite on it, and run out there and work your ass off for them, And then they will throw you under the bus in a blink of an eye, when something doesn’t go politically correct and right.

This is the result of administrators administrating an administration when none of them have ever actually held a REAL job, doing the actual REAL work in the actual REAL world.

See, at some point in time, someone...a real person, actually has to DO a particular thing. Plumbing, electrical, doctoring, yes even Policing.

This has the fine hand of Dummy Brown moving chess pieces on the board. Same pieces and same board as yesterday. Regardless of the moves, it's too little and too late. You'll see 400 murders by the end of the month and 550-600 murders by September's end. 700 hundred Murders is a reality by year's end.

In November the voting public will keep Kim Foxxxxxx and the Socialist Democrats in power and the Community will obediently give up more of its young people on the sacrificial alter on the political plantation. Killers keep killing and victims keep piling up curbside. All this while the Community aimlessly is wondering the streets carrying signs and shouting BLM's.

Sure BLM's is important, if you have money ridding on the final numbers on the Murder Shot Clock at the end of the year.

Hmmm, looks like AlderSpooge Tellafairyo idea made it to Larri’s playskool desk (1992 JumpOuts).
Hard Chargers will be climbing over one another to get a spot over the low seniority back fills....what else is new. Full uniform detail will make this operation less appealing.

So now under the guise of Save the Kids, a dedicated bunch of knuckleheads can chase around the CookCo protected to please the supervisors with daily CB number activity, must be a signal KömpStaat is coming back, or arrests overall are waaaaaay down.
Remember it’s not the prosecution or conviction results - it’s the arrest numbers Larri needs. Ah the good old days of interdepartmental CB # competition, until the first riot.

Couple that into the excessive force, unlawful arrest and civil rights violating complaints for descending upon the community. Never forget there’s Larri’s stacked police board and her various civilian agencies, willing to go with a criminal charge for any allegations of misconduct no matter how frivolous or unsubstantiated will be enough to snag dozens of hardchargers after the 2nd Summer of Larri.
It’s another reason Larri has been silent on CookCo States Atty KmmFxxxUp who doesn’t need Larri’s blessing to charge for nonsense...like popcorn consumption. Larri want immediate firings and suspensions that lead to firing.

Contract gives us due process, still expensive to defend and no guarantee.

How many times can the command staff recycle a old idea. The concept of a task force existed in the 1970's under numerous names but with the same purpose. A fun game; how many titles can you recall for the task force?

What protection will exist for the officers who volunteer? Protection from white shirts that issue unlawful orders putting officers into the cross hairs of COPA? What is the FOP response to this recycled idea? Will the dept include the necessary "training and equipment"? Brown needs to earn the support of officers before they "volunteer" for this old idea. Before you volunteer remember the popcorn scandal and how lightfoot wanted to fire the officer displaying a finger to a crowd?

Has this guy ever worked as a PO? I mean, really?
From that article:
“What I like about a community service day once a week for groups like this, it keeps that group sensitive to the needs of the community, rather than every day, all day, every day, they come to work, that’s all they do is enforcement,” Brown said in the interview.

Um, isn’t enforcement still part of the job description on community service day? This “plan” has so many holes in it, especially thinking the people (or folks) are going to cooperate with the community service POs without repercussion from the other elements of the community. And what happens when you see a corner market operating on your community service day? Not doing enforcement so who you gonna call?

I also predicted Brown would be gone, but much sooner than you guys did. This magnum opus of his will buy him a little time but the bloodshed will continue and he’ll be out of ideas. Someone once said on these comments that out of towners don’t work out very well in leadership positions here. Pretty accurate.

What’s old is new again, ha. Even more humorous is the bullshit statement put out by the city about this is to combat the violence. Reshuffling bodies from Gangs and Saturation for this is more smoke and mirrors. No one should be applying for this nonsense unit anyway. If the city(democrats) really wants to combat the violence(which they really don’t) then they should simply keep the bad guys in jail(which they don’t; no more “signature” i-bonds), actually prosecute the criminals for the appropriate charges(which they don’t; Kim Foxx under charges the criminals or drops the charges altogether) and lastly get judges who believe in criminal sentencing instead of slaps on the wrist.

I didn’t even touch on the witch hunting for the police by the democrats/socialists. To all Chicago coppers, don’t fall for this political bullshit. Until the city fixes any of the aforementioned don’t give these politicians any more chances to use you as political cover or as a scapegoat. Fuck you Lori Lightfoot, fuck you Kim Foxx, fuck you Tom Dart and fuck you Timothy Evans. You will reap what you sow.

It turns out there is a reason why the dept has gone strip crazy. They want to up the manpower to continue a recent successful use of resources. Having the recruits in the distrcits was such a resounding success that the gold stars want to keep it pumping. Since the recruits are going back to the academy barb west is going to replace them. 311 will be made 100% civilian and all the sworn members that are stripped or light duty will be sent to districts. They will be the ones cleaning squad cars, radios, bwc, and tasers. A special group of the best callback commandos will be assigned to this new citywide unit. They will be tasked with gassing up the squads and picking up lunch for the white shirts. After that then its time to make the coffee and fill the coolers with ice and Gatorade for the working coppers. The gold stars belive it will make the stripped / light duty guys feel like they are a useful part of the team again. Morale in the unit will skyrocket. No job is too small. Even the waterboys get a championship ring. Its a win win for the city and the department. Crime is quelled and moral is increased. Make no small plans!

New York Democrats want to strip cops with ‘serious’ offense of pension benefits

By Bernadette HoganJuly 2, 2020 | 6:28pm

Two Democratic state lawmakers introduced a bill that would strip police officers of their state pension benefits if fired for issues involving “serious” misconduct.

State Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-The Bronx) and Assemblywoman Diana Richardson (D-Brooklyn) introduced the legislation last month that would bar members of law enforcement from receiving retirement benefits if they are fired in cases involving misconduct or malfeasance, or resign or retire in the middle of misconduct investigation in connection to their job.

Cops are already eligible to lose pensions if convicted of a felony, but the pols listed several “improper” or “illegal actions” including fabrication of evidence, repeated use of excessive force, acceptance of a bribe or fraud.

“Systematic racism, inadequate training, and abuse of power have all contributed to the scourge of police brutality that has torn apart families and communities across the county. We are at a pivotal moment for anti-racist and police reform, and it is clear that law enforcement officers must face greater accountability,” Sepulveda said in a statement.

Hey Baby G,
You must be retired a while now. Summer mobile has nothing to do with the lakefront. It hasn’t for the last 4 or 5 years since it has come back. Instead, SM is simply another “saturation” unit that covers hot spots in districts during the summer.
The Lakefront has been the bikes (and recently VRI) for the last 15 plus years. There is this thing called the summer lakefront detail and another thing called the Area Central bike team and yet another called for he Area North bike team. This of course is when there aren’t protests for the Area teams to work.
The old days of sitting under a tree in your car for the tour and collecting “illegal” alcohol for the Oak Street beach after party every night are long gone. Sorry to break the news buddy.

When I started in 1994 we had full compliment of officers on every watch. We had a wagon in each sector, two rapids per sector along with two traffic cars. The department also needs two trim the fat of too many supervisors in these units including at headquarters. It seems the more units divisions the department has you loose accountability.

312 Sgts,
It appears the City, in their infinite wisdom and continuing stupidity of mismanaging our Dept into oblivion, now believe the Area units are ineffective and NOT needed, anymore. Therefore, all Area units will be disbanded, in the very near future. In their place, will be the beefed up SMP, a Unit of 400 personnel, which will be quickly renamed and become a year round saturation unit, like TRU and MSF. I'm told, you can request assignment to this Unit with a To-From, they want whole Teams with their Sgts. Or, you can go back to your Unit of assignment and try to get on a Tact Team or a NEW District Gang Team, like we used to have years ago. I am very sorry this happening to a Unit like 312, considering all the hard work and effort, 312 has done over the years. I apologize for the City and Dept, for the way all of you are being treated, it is very unfair and extremely inconsiderate, taking into account all our stats over the years. It has been my pleasure and one of the best times of my career, to have been a part of Unit 312. I am very honored and grateful, for all the outstanding work, everyone has done, to make Unit 312, the success it has always been, along with the high standards of activity, by which all Units in the future, will be judged and measured on. Relay this message to your people. Once again, Thank you, for all your efforts. Be safe.

Oh Jimmy Cascone. You rode all those cops into the ground because you wanted to lead the city in gun arrests. And just last weekend you were crying that we slowed down too much. See, all those guns don’t mean shit to anyone but you! So glad to finally be done with your clown ass. I’m sure you will land on your feet, because you will cry about all the guns your guys got.

– fucking looney toon mayor get’n fuct’out of Logan’s Squire...in a hurry-hurry?
That a done deal? Credit Karma score sufficient? Co-signer locked in?

Don’t need the address, come next Spring it will be the house with all the dandelions, dead bushes and plenty of crab grass following up in June. Much like the Malcolm in the Middle tv show house.

If Logan’s “fireworks” was an annoyance, O’Hare new extended runway 27L flight path is going to keep her up ALL day and ALL night...nice deal for the previous owners. Jets get down low to 1200-1000 ft on final approach with a frequency of one jet every minute or less.
Not too sharp LightLoafer. Not too smart. My guess is FAA will be getting a call and reroute those aircraft over Rahm’s house, remember he also was under a flight path but maybe obama admin had that runway used for outbound only.

312 Sgts,
It appears the City, in their infinite wisdom and continuing stupidity of mismanaging our Dept into oblivion, now believe the Area units are ineffective and NOT needed, anymore. Therefore, all Area units will be disbanded, in the very near future. In their place, will be the beefed up SMP, a Unit of 400 personnel, which will be quickly renamed and become a year round saturation unit, like TRU and MSF. I'm told, you can request assignment to this Unit with a To-From, they want whole Teams with their Sgts. Or, you can go back to your Unit of assignment and try to get on a Tact Team or a NEW District Gang Team, like we used to have years ago. I am very sorry this happening to a Unit like 312, considering all the hard work and effort, 312 has done over the years. I apologize for the City and Dept, for the way all of you are being treated, it is very unfair and extremely inconsiderate, taking into account all our stats over the years. It has been my pleasure and one of the best times of my career, to have been a part of Unit 312. I am very honored and grateful, for all the outstanding work, everyone has done, to make Unit 312, the success it has always been, along with the high standards of activity, by which all Units in the future, will be judged and measured on. Relay this message to your people. Once again, Thank you, for all your efforts. Be safe.

You have an interesting way of showing respect. Maybe you could handle a few domestics in between blue cards, all star. They're so easy. A domestic is basically a starting point for what could be your worst or last day on this job or this earth. Or as mama once told you, it's like a box of chocolates... you never know what you gonna get. There's nothing exempting you from handling domestics. There's no reason for you not to take those jobs, other than them boring you. So jump on in there, champ. Or keep hiding from those types of assignments and pretend that's not what you're doing. We see right through your act. While you're joining the rest of us, answer up for those disturbances with a mental too. Mentals are almost never boring. You're probably even CIT trained but afraid to answer up. You're too good for that stuff, right? Get over yourself and stop pretending you're doing something other than hiding and collecting a paycheck.

IAD and Inspectors do suck.... BUT they are NEEDED ....

When you look at police officers on the news some of them look like crap..... no secure holster just a pancake holster, handcuffs hanging on the vest under the armpit or in the back of the belt with no case, unshaven, long hair... in other words some of us look like slobs. This is a total lack of discipline, and a total lack of supervision, and if we can't wear a proper belt, what's to stop us say from, engaging in a chase that's been terminated? from an extra slap after the cuffs are on? from any kind of bad behavior that can get you in trouble.

Yes IAD and Inspectors are needed just to keep people from breaking the rules. And there have been plenty over the years. However, IAD should not be protecting the connected (read articles on SOS scandal from years ago). Supervisors should not be turning a blind eye just because officers are making gun arrests--those arrests need to be legitimate now more than ever.

Where are the Inspectors? 20 years ago if you were on the news without your crown cap you got written up the next day.

This job is not a joke, and this job begins each day in front of that mirror that asks, does your appearance command respect?

Don't worry about what others do. Worry only about those things you can control. Worry about your own dignity, your own credibility and your own reputation.

If a boss/commander/supervisor asks you to "clear a corner," follow department orders and turn on your body camera at the start of any police action. Ask said supervisor to repeat their instructions, and quiz them on what was wrong if you did not see anything wrong. Get them on camera telling you what to do. Get their star number. If any boss tells you do anything but won't give you their star number then you know they don't stand behind what they are telling you, and that message should then be clear.

You arrogant little child. Yes, I am a fossil, but I have done more on this job then you ever will. When you can match 2000 cb numbers then you can toss the insults around. This was a post to let you know that the City never has your back. You go and do your 2 blue cards, then when shit hits the fan and the city decides to dump the new team, you will end up in some shit south side district for years because the city will not have any bids open for the better districts. Kid you not as smart as you think you are, because if you were as smart as you think, you wouldn't be a cop in the first place. I sure hope you never step in shit, your arrogance will not be able to get yourself out of the shit. I was in the shit and learned that the city can give a shit about you, so doing a couple of traffic crashes is a cake walk then getting bs cr's and being lied on all of the time. I was trying to help you, but I guess you know it all already. Good Luck being the real police.

Also promote qualified FTO’s and then maybe the CPD could have confidence in their assessments of the recruit. Now if they give a negative assessment they just move the recruit to other FTO’s until they pass a

The irony of the older gents arguing with the youngins is that the gentlemen possibly see in the youngings what they once were. And the youngins possibly will one day gain the same attitude the gents now have. But years upon years of what we perceive as slights will do that to us. A vicious cycle and the world keeps on spinning. Be safe and be well to all of you. God knows we all need to be more united nowadays than maybe ever

Last I checked, sheriff's police makes pennies on the dollar. And why are you mentioning our union,? Is this because you're bothered that we have FOP and you have some wanna be fop council?. No one was bad mouthing your little dept so stay in your lane Mr "elite." The person who wrote that was clearly pointing out how YOUR weak sheriff is trying to look good.

Fact check this deputy; even with our "expired" contract your pay scale is less than our current expired one.

County police patrolmen top out at $100,600 dollars. How is that less than CPD?

A contract from a FOP council or zero contract from the CPD FOP for half a decade...I think I know which I’d choose.

I think everyone arguing the money matter has forgotten one thing: even if they made the same amount of money (and they don’t - the county does pay their police more, although you do have to start off making less working in the jail - so it may be a wash by the time you’re a cop) the county guys not only don’t have to live in Chicago, they don’t even have to live in Cook County. And they get a take home car, which saves a lot of money going to and from work. And they don’t have to report to a station to swipe in. They log in from their cars.

Not trying to stir up resentment, but there are trade offs. That said, I wouldn’t work in a jail for 10 years hoping I could get picked for the police gig. Most of those spots are taken by guys with juice. But the residency aspect in Chicago is brutal. The amount spent on private school tuition cuts a CPD salary down significantly. All while trying to enjoy your 33 foot wide city lot. It’s a joke. Best bet is to work for the suburbs or Will County where you never have to work in the jail and everyone goes 41/42 from their driveway in their take home car.
