Shhh.....Don't Tell Anyone

Ten recruits and an instructor have tested positive for the Kung Flu since the Academy reopened last week.

Leaving aside that these recruits are close to the best shape of their lives and aren't really in danger of succumbing to anything worse than a week on the Medical, the reaction of the Department is going to be telling.

You see, the NYPD isn't the only one suffering from a massive wave of retirements. The CPD is already seeing a big uptick in supervisory retirement as the PBPA Contract was settled - check the AdMin fax messages. There have been between five and ten people leaving every week. Add in the changes at the top and a bunch more are going to see this as their careers ending. Plus, the PBPA negotiated an window for white shirts to leave under the terms of the old Contract before the end of the year and that makes a big difference in the health insurance costs.

So will the Academy plow through the illness wave?

The CPD is doomed thanks to Lightfoot. So many resigning and retiring early and now very little chance of finding new kids to take this job. It’s a disaster. Worst job on the planet and then throw in crumbling pension fund and 4th year without a contract. What a shame

It will if all the windows are kicked out to rid the building of any virus known to science.
Knocking it down is not the answer, the crooks politician's will contract a minority contractor that don't own a hammer and use the trash of the city for insulation.
The USA government build buildings to host a king. All top shelf material and maintenance.
The furnace at the T.D cannot be opened to be cleaned since they built the rathole in 1979.
It' cracked and ready to blow out. The city engineers, just being near this plague all get weird ass health issues.

A bad prediction for 2021. Every action has a reaction. I hope and pry that this is not in our future. It looks very bad! It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. They cited Chicago in the article. So happy a buddy sent this to me. Every day endless calls, total disrespect for police, endless seeing things that most will never see, total lack of leadership, running out of cars to respond is now a daily event, be disrespected by our mayor and I could continue for hours.

That leaves the bottom of the barrel scum to come on and steal as much as they can from both the department and the citizen alike.

This isn't the military in time of war, the city cannot deny your request for retirement. What is happening in New York is the flood of retirement requests have overwhelmed the people who process the requests, so it is taking longer, much longer and the city is in no hurry to add more people to the processing unit. Just a temporary bottle neck

The academy is a breeding ground to spread the virus. They cannot maintain social distance in a classroom, the gym and the range. How many asystematic recruits are attending class? They do not have the ability to quarantine themselves for 2 weeks and miss all of the classes. Are they checking temperatures every day? Recruits will be afraid to admit they have symptoms and miss classes. I feel for the staff who must have close contact with recruits and other staff.

I wonder why the FOP 7 website hasn't published any lists for retirees since Feb 2020. I also wonder if the academy is telling the Noobs that they will be picking up trash in the ghetto's of Chicago for a living. This caps thing just wont die. It was, and always will be a stopgap measure for politicians to fall back on when "Enforcement" of the Law is Non Existent and crime is rising. It costs multiple millions, and takes waaaaay too much time training in the police academy. I recall about 50 hours worth when I went through. I'm sure it's higher now.

Interesting article there from Epoch Times, many valid points. Seems to get a little preachy towards the end IMHO, expecting an extremely high level of self-awareness and inordinate abilities to remove one's self from subjective experience. If we understand ourselves so very objectively, as put forth in the article, we likely aren't having these types of issues...
And across the board, in any profession or even job, one is encouraged if not required to give "110%" so any semblance of work/life balance is at cost to professional success and development. (The unspoken main reason for that supposed gender gap in pay, too. Shhhhh)
Finally, anyone who's gone through any type of counseling knows they are never looked at the same again. The stigma can and will easily follow one beyond the current position, even organization they are in. Even when changing occupation, unless self providing healthcare. Blacklisted for life...
There's a lot more to it than the article considers. Written by an academic who's last hourly position was perhaps in high-school, god bless them

They've had more than enough downtime to study and pass the state exam over the past 5 months of this stupid lockdown, so certify them already and be done with it.

Larri, Larri, Larri Keep that Covid’s going.

As far as “test” go, it’s still Pass-Fail right ?

The last of the 2020 budgeted Recruits have to get out ASAP as fast as possible. There won’t be anymore hires coming in until Oct 2021 unless other IL Con Decree mandate reforms are implemented first, which they won’t until Fed money comes in and it won’t. Blame Trump.

There will be no hush-hush, a quick expedited Recruit virtual graduation, only then the Academy Plague news release will follow.
Six weeks until school starts, how many weeks left for the Recruits?

Whatever, it’s enough to keep CPS RedCTU closed come September.
Thers no Bud Bilikin parade so that means no Back to school as scheduled.
They cancelled the Marathon which was set for October 11th, so watch for the Covid’s second coming.
It’s part of the DNC Plan...they’re All In On This Together.

Shot Clock sez 393 kilt and almost 2000 shot as of today. The Dummy from Dallas may see the magical number 400 kilt before the weekend. And this is Ass Hat told us when he first came to town he would keep the murders under 300 for the year. And remember the "moon shot". The only thing that's going to the moon is the number of murdered citizens. 2000 people have been shot so far this year. We could have another 2000 shot before the end of the year. Those are staggering numbers.

Who cares, really who cares. The Murder Queen doesn't, the Aldercreatures are clueless, save maybe for Lopez, and the Dummy from Dallas, well he don't count. The Community doesn't care. If they did they would be marching to the Murder Queen's house with torches and pitch forks. The same for the Dallas Dummy or how about the Aldercreatures houses. Nothing doing. They march or hang around the block with candles, balloons and hand held signs saying "gee whiz, poor me". "We" lost another son or daughter to the M/Fer's shooting up our neighborhoods.

And the Groot brings out a fucking cowboy on a horse pushing the census. I hope she doesn't stand behind the horse as it could shit in her face. Hey Groot, Nice lime green cowboy hat. You look like a circus midget with a 10 gallon hat.

Everyone is scared to get tested for fear of being bounces to another class and being held back- so no one will get tested or speak up if they feel sick. So... probably a third of the academy has the ‘Rona.

It needs to be shut down for 3 weeks, have every instructor, recruit, civilian and officer who attended promotional or in-service training tested ASAP while the building gets a deep clean.

If I see some 1st grader picked up by a pervert and drive off I'm going to do what I am trained to do: Let dispatch know so they can inform the real police, Illinois State police.

1. We are not trained in vehicle pursuits.
2. We will be sued for anything that goes wrong, even if a pedestrian sprains their ankle getting out of the way of the criminal driving, guess who's paying that pedestrians medical bill after and guess who's getting charged criminally after Foxx gets through with immunity? Not the criminal.
3. Our motor vehicle pursuit policies gives us ZERO options in stopping the fleeing vehicle: You can't Pit, You can't Box in, You can't collide, You can't overtake them in any way, You can't Roadblock them. They don't even have to speed away. They can just drive normally and you can do nothing but follow until the Real police show up, I.E. Illinois State Police who do have authority and training to perform maneuvers.

Chicago Police has these prohibitions because we are woefully undertrained to do any of those maneuvers. Where did you get trained to perform high speed maneuvers or ram a fleeing vehicle or perform roadblocks or caravan or force collisions? I wasn't trained in any of it and neither are any of you.

Never chase. I don't care what you saw or what dispatch said or what the idiot lying civilian said to the call taker. We are security guards. We report the crime to the real, trained police and let them deal with it.

It should surprise no one that if you give people an incentive to retire early (like cheaper health insurance), that some people will take it, who would otherwise have not retired.

I’m caucasian, born and raised from the burbs, didn’t fail my psych test. What are you implying? Because I sure as hell am enjoying this job everyday I can. And they will lift the residency rule because Groot wants her “prized” citizens living in the Gold Coast and cop neighborhoods where she knows they can’t afford regular/face value of rent and mortgages. I’m just waiting for her to explicitly saying she wants people living in certain areas on tv. She won’t because she know she’ll lose no matter what and we will win no matter what.
