Tact Teams Order? (UPDATE)
Word coming in that there was an order issued a few hours ago:
- No more Day teams. In fact, no more rotating shifts;
- All teams are now Night Teams;
- None will start earlier than 1600
We guess that's one way to fill the beat cars.
Now Tact will almost 100% be filled by reverse seniority when the old timers bail out.
UPDATE: There's an even bigger order out detailing about 100 Officers per day to 001 and 018 on ALL watches. So if you're a bid guy or gal, PO or Sgt, you aren't working where you bid to work.
Also, for any aldercreatures reading - your wards are being stripped EVERY SINGLE DAY of manpower from here until further notice (elections).
Is this a Labor Grievance of any sort? There is no emergency declared, there are no riots on-going at this moment. Everyone should be getting at the minimum, time-and-a-half all day.

They are in full panic mode. Damn the contract.
Why would anyone want to work tact? Is it the cargo pants or the baseball cap to the back? The perks are long gone. They ended somewhere are 2005.
Where are the cars coming from ?
Before this Order came out my District Watches were down anywhere from 3 to 6 primary Beat cars a tour. We are still down that many cars, but now 3 of those cars will be going Downtown for the tour. Calls are backing way up and the citizens are really starting to bitch. I will continue to drive safely to my jobs obeying all traffic laws and do a thorough investigation and then methodically fill out my reports. I will also be sure to take my 15 minute personals and my half hour lunch.
Things will be getting worse with manpower. I’m hearing retirements are at an extreme high. I wonder if somebody has access to the real numbers of how many people have retired this year.
Paul Vallas talked about this a few days ago on his Facebook page
Thank god I retired 2 weeks ago. Good luck guys
Many tact guys will still stay on the team and continue to bring in activity because you can't fix stupid sometimes.
Isn’t being on tact fun?
Just put in my To/From to leave tact.
Will now dog jobs on the watch.
It ain't worth it being on a Tact Team these days ever!
I quit that dumb shit long ago and stay on days by the bid on a beat car!
Beat car on days is much better than working nights on any blue jean team!
Exactly, any copper with time on the job is going to jump ship. Look for more two year wonders coming. Things have really changed, I've been on for 20 yrs and have been on different teams and I have to say that it's not worth it anymore! The perks of being on a tact/gang /gun/sat teams are long gone. Word of advice to those young officers...don't be in such a hurry to be a hero, not many on the job care about being the "real" police anymore.
As Chicago Approaches 600 Murders, FAILED MAYOR Lightfoot Releases A Plan To Fix Violence -- Proposal Is Mix Of Social Justice Horseshit, And Throwing Cops Under The Bus -- With A New Police Officer Licensing Board Run By Cop-Hating Chicago Democrats - Chicago Sun-Times

This is the earmark of that genius Carter
Burglaries don't matter in taxpaying neighborhoods.
Time to boobytrap your house every time you leave it.
Well, if you have to get detailed to work somewhere else, you could do A LOT worse than sitting in 001 or 018. I'm sure the guys there appreciate the extra help, but maybe not so much the extra coppers burning out their "spots".
But seriously, never have I seen such disarray in this Department, not in 20 years of service.
Between the useless by-the-numbers power point cover their ass "training", and the new insane contract skirting orders that come out, the Ones in Charge convey not confidence and competence, but fecklessness and cluelessness, at least from where we are sitting (on the street in a blue and white).
God help Chicago and its Police.
I just want to make sure the hood areas got their police
Notify the Union!
I was assigned to the Desk more than I preferred although there was (at the time) a position as Desk Relief who wasn’t keen on working inside unless it was a Review or Lockup spot. Same applies when a Bid Desk/Asst Desk chooses to work outside of respective positions. Grievance won. Also, there was the Acting Desk Sgt position which was granted to actual Bid Desk personnel and not to the Senior person assigned (for the day) or to the senior Asst. Desk, this also won a grievance.
I think same would apply in a sense that one Bids for a Watch in a District and there is no need to “be harmed” and detailing out is more of an inconvenience. If Roll Call is held in the DOA/UOA, then your Beat is where you’re shipped out to patrol. So I think the shenanigans will start in the home District, but an understaffed New Unit being granted temporary personnel? PPO’s will have to fill the voids, then the Watch 20%’ers scholarships. That’s the only Mgmt discretion allowed.
The Merit Dept is circumventing the Contract again.
Don’t Volunteer.
No Stops
Quarantine 1st & 16
So if the emphasis is Loop disaster area after the election, that means outside agitators, not upset folks burning their own neighborhoods. Call in the Feds and put the National Guard on the streets, keep police in neighborhoods. Let the Feds arrest and prosecute these terrorists.
They just handed the city over to the burglars and junkies!!! Pay that chicago victim tax bitches!!!!!!
Fuck that. I retired
011 is now sending a Sgt and officers to Downtown on 3rdwatch. Good use of manpower .
Oh no, you mean city hall might not have looked at the contract? Color me shocked!
They should start up a Michigan Ave unit and give them 10 hour days. People would be happy to do it.
Make the Michigan Ave detail worth doing and people would fight for that spot.
Don't forget how this affects your ability to take a day off.
Its a GO around to make the contract useless.
Just picture details that need 400 officers a day every day.
The contract has a giant weakness that the city is abusing.
Every day is an emergency NOW and forever.
The mayor can use those lovely shooting numbers from the weekends as justification.
We need to apply pressure and i dont mean the FOP.
Enforce laws on important people stop giving the breaks!
Tickets churches/ Aldermanic offices/ Politicians homes. If instructed to stop by anyone document and file a formal complaint.
OR
TAKE it and like it
This is the stupidest plan I have ever heard of what fucken genius thought of this...for what purpose? Something is rotten in Denmark boys and girls.
And if there aren't enough cars go to the watch and get a car and if not double up in 4 man cars....really that's your half ass response...
your plan is not going to work genius.
and now they need Sgts to volunteer and be assigned to the Community Safety Team for a 90 day detail...im sure they will be fighting to go.
Yes we have this while fat trust fund baby is hiding out maybe he’s getting question about his daughter riding Horses without a mask, or maybe he’s being question about keeping everything shut down the perfect storm is brewing he will shut the state down again right in time for the election democratic hypocritical playbook;

Let’s see fat morbidly fat probably has diabetes among other maladies, This fat fuck will do anything and everything to close on the state of Illinois watch and see! Don’t worry your state police detail that covers you and your entire family G I wonder if they’re traveling with your daughter wherever she goes and taxpayers expense they will still keep working along with the Chicago Police Department hospital nice to never work a day in your life use mom and dad’s money well over $200 million to literally buy the governorship, guess mommy and daddy cannot help him now no this fat fuck will do anything and everything to close on the state of Illinois businesses!
Do they even have the cars for all the POs?
But I can wear blue jeans, a snapback hat and grow a beard? Sign me up!!!
Shithead Will Riot on a Rumor,The Mayor is Scared,If they Destroy 018 and 001,The City is done.BURN LOOT MURDER.
Anyone who works Tact anymore needs to their head examined .
I vote for remote policing.
Lmao wow 🤣. I know so many officers that were on my watch with 2-3 years on the job go on tac just to get off the beat cars on midnights.
Really, old timers on current tact teams, I do not think so.
Awesome, I’ve been wanting to wear jeans the past 3 1/2 years ever since I’ve been on !
SAY THEIR NAMES - 5 Dallas LEOs killed 7/7/2016 by a black man.

•DART Officer Brent Thompson, 43
•DPD Officer Patricio "Patrick" Zamarripa,[56]
My job just got easier “0” across the board.
This order was directly from Eric Carter who was told to implement it from the mayors office. Eric Carter is a cancer in the department and of of their dumbest human beings on this job.
If your on a tactical team, now is the time to leave.
WTF is going on??? So, I guess with all these people out of the districts and Tact going to nights, then we shouldn't have to got o 12hr days and RDO's cancelled in the future..they should have enough downtown already!!!
Word is MULTIPLE high end stores have opted to not renew their leases. Macys, neiman, Nike to name a few. By the end of the year Michigan ave will look like Roosevelt rd. City is scrambling to keep the other retailers and have promised there will be no more looting. The rounds of looting have cost Macy’s P alone over 10 million in product stolen.
We spied THIS fine pile of donkey dung
in today's online scum-times:
"Lightfoot debuts sweeping multiyear plan
to combat Chicago violence..."
Then there's this:
"The plan’s stated goals run the gamut from requiring law
enforcement officers to be licensed to expanding career and
housing opportunities in the city’s poorer and more violent
areas to “enacting equitable public safety legislation on the
local, state and federal levels.”
...And finally?
At the very end, there's THIS:
“Our City, Our Safety” also calls for a public acknowledgment
and to “advance reconciliation efforts related to torture
and other racist acts by CPD.”
Translation:
Making The Police publicly "apologize"
and show the proper amount of remorse
and contrition in order to "build trust"
with the seethingly violent and hateful
unsatisfiables of "tha' communerty"
who are runnin' thangs now...
Let ALL of that sink in...
>Empty chip bag dancing on the wind<
Reduce the "Police Footprint" in these areas
immediately and let them sit at the table of
peace and brotherhood to resolve their differences
on/in one another's asses without the inconvenience
of Police overview and intervention.
You know... Since The Police have been determined to
be what's wrong with communities of color.
Again...
Reduce the "Police Footprint."
The Police should ONLY respond to catalog,
oversee the removal of the dead, and provide
overwatch for CFD hosing the blood, brain matter,
skull fragments, teeth and shit off the pavement.
A question tho'...
WTF does "Licensing Police Officers"
have to do with "tha' communerty"
being wholly unable to exist peacefully
with itself and upright, peace-loving,
law-abiding society?
WTF will "Licensing Police Officers"
do to curtail the love and worship of
Death and the accompanying ritual
violence of a failed but nonetheless
politically and culturally weaponized
culture?
Will the Tribune donate money to the police chaplains fund now:

Why doesn’t the “community safety team” help out with radio jobs in the district?? Gotta love hearing PO’s with less than two years on asking for a paper car for some bullshit they on viewed
Can tact teams even be filled by reverse seniority?
Sounds like with the dt detail and all this, the Dept. needs to bring back vri.
It would be nice if these morons in charge could give somebody a little heads up that their entire life is going to change. If you’re on a straight day team which every district has one, do you know have to switch your entire life app to work nights. Is this permanent is a temporary stuff like that. We can expect our families to turn on a dime. Holiday schedule we didn’t need babysitting or anything else now I need babysitting. That’s fine but do I need a short term or long term.. I’ve been on the same day team for the past 14 years I have 24 years on. I need to know am I sticking this out for a few months or am I just going to go back to the days and write off into the sunset. My last kid is in eighth grade he still needs someone to take care of him throughout the night. These people are so inconsiderate and don’t have a fucking clue how much they infect people. I hope people absolutely get slaughteredDuring second watch. Fuck you and your lack of information.
I heard 19th Ward Aldercreature Matt OsheaM' told Groot "just please don't take my Aviation Committee Chairmanship away. Take my police Groot, whatever you want, I will vote to send the request for the National Guard to assist the CPD to the Safety and Rules committee to kill the vote on the floor, Oh I already did that for you Groot. By the way Groot thanks for allowing me to sign on as a co-sponsor a week later so my constituents don't catch on to me kissing your ass."
In light of an incredibly violent and exhausting summer and still no serious contract negotiations, we need to take matters into our own hands. The union can’t condone or recommend what to do but some illnesses like Covid are unpredictable and in clusters.
Tact teams? Who still wants to chase fools?
Forget about the polls good or bad. Show up November 3rd and flood the zone.
In 014 we have 1 sgt and four -2 man cars and two - 1 man cars for ALL of 1st watch tonight. While they detailed five POs for Michigan detail. Sad what this dept. has become.
Teletubby is going to take a 2 week Coronavirus vacation in Florida. Time to inflate the Chinese Virus numbers because we are letting people have a beer at a bar again.

Last I checked tact "works" a 4-6 hour tour. They don't respond to domestics and have almost zero liability. Don't all three fall asleep at the same time and just collect. You sound like you never been assigned to tact. Alderman's blessing is always needed to land in one of those spots.
The reason the districts are sending people downtown is because Ken Griffin scolded Groot and told her if she did not get a grip on downtown crime he would be moving his hedge fund company , Citadel out of the state to Florida. Apparently Groot’s ass puckered up with the fear of this multi billion dollar company leaving the city and this is her plan. She has depleted the neighborhoods of police to keep Ken Griffin happy. It’s nice to know Groot is Ken Griffin’s lap dog and does as she is told. Hey Groot , go fetch my paper.
At one time, the WC would take the entire tact team and use them fill slots in his beat cars, many times to give his regulars day off time. But, mostly , working tact was a great job. Now? Not so much. Maybe they should put all tact teams in uniform with marked cars. Everybody knows they are the police any way so need for hooded sweatshirts and jeans.

You may have to ride it out till the 1st period.
Management can't stop you from bidding to a watch but they might keep a brick on you till then cuz I'm sure people won't be climbing over each other to take your spot.
Been getting sent to 001 and 018 quite a few times in the past month, been to a few spots and was told they only give discounts to guys with 001 or 018 on their unit designator. Reminiscent of how Ricobenes treated guys from HQ who go in and pay full boat while 009 and the old 021 eat for free.
Smoke and mirrors, if there are two teams working on the same night, 1 team will work tact in their assigned cars and the other team will be in rapid response cars taking jobs.
It will be the 4th watch all over again 6-2am or 8-4am in uniform and in marked cars taking calls

In my 33 yrs, I've NEVER been in a district with a straight days tact team.
Idiots are still staying on tac. Are you kidding me??? Keep working. Keep being the mayors little bitch. Hey guys, tell the city to fuck off and take a stand for one in your life. Instead the city does this and everyone just takes it and brings in activity like a good little boy. Tell me, how does it feel when Lightfoots balls are bouncing right off your chin.
Why even still have tac teams? You can’t do anything anymore. Put them all back on the watch. Along with tac secretaries, Sgt’s and Lt’s. Look at all the extra manpower you’ll have. Put up a couple of 06 cars on each watch for those who still want to do secret squirrel shit.
Don't foot chase, don't car chase, don't stop anyone(racial profiling), just answer the radio and go to your calls. It's not worth it. Be safe and God Bless.
I like the "remote policing"
This is all Carter and Brown - they don’t care about anyone’s family or home life. All they do is take, take, take and then spit you out.
She wants coppers to walk off or fuck up in some way so they can take the blame for the post election bullshit. She may figure to start fucking everyone around now, pushing ever more ridiculous edicts until their is no alternative to fight back. They the riots, then the blame. If you're gonna pull, pull now.
Is it True Barb West put a PAR in to retire?? Now will she take the drive by Sergeant with her.
011 2nd watch is all 10-99 cars. Safety issue??? FOP?? 1 shooting and there go almost all the cars for a few hours. This will be Fun! At least I was never stupid enough to go on tact. See how the dept. took care of you guys? Like everyone is saying...One job at a time. Going to milk every one of them. The already daily backlog in 011 is going to be EPIC with tons of jobs pending, lol. Spencer is one of the biggest idiots on this department, just listen to him try to talk. Keep focusing on Springfield/ gladys where your buildings are, while every P.O. is in danger answering every call because theres no backup.
So once again , working class , tax payers in 2, 8 , 9 , 10 , 12 ,14 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 20 will be stripped of a minimum of 10 tactical officers on the second watch . Now remember on second watch , police officers are often assigned to schools , have traffic , criminal courts , administrative hearings further stripping districts of manpower .
This has to be a contract violation , orders call for three tactical teams per district , a second watch. Team , third watch team and a relief team , some have a small midnight tactical team .
This is unfair to Supervisors , Aggressive Police Officers assigned to tactical teams , but most of all unfair to the citizens of Chicago that are being stripped of second watch police officers . Second watch is made up of old timers assigned to one man units . So there will be No proactive police officers assigned to field duties until 1830 hrs . Not good .
All tactical officers should immediately , ASAP put in paper work to return to a watch because of unfair labor practices of changing tactical officers assigned hours .
Where are these pussy Alderman , except for one or two , vote all these rubber stamp , spineless , no balls aldercreatures out of office .
Years ago when we rotated , many of us went on tactical teams to avoid midnights . Now these merit bosses will have tactical officers working from 2100 to 0600 hrs
FU boss , I’ll go back to watch and answer my radio assignments . I will document every crime , especially calls generated from our million dollar shot spotter , I’ll find a witness , Shell casing , damaged property and be down on paper .
Who is the clown that came up with this , what skirt chaser , maybe one with lots of ribbons on his shirt , the clown without body armor .

24 years on the job and you don't know the answer to this!? Geezzz
All of these so-called peaceful protests - ALL OF THEM - could have been stopped before they turned into RIOTS if the mayors of these Democrat controlled cities would have let the police do the job they are trained to do.
Groot and Foxx want the mayhem. As much as possible to make people want a change. Any kind of change. It's all planned out.
Stands to reason there'd be a whole lot more going on than the communist-takeover-newsmedia would report, in NYC and Chicago and everywhere. It's like a friend said about huge pro-life marches in the L.A. area in the '80s.
There'd be 60,000 citizens marching, but only the newspapers in the immediate municipality would cover it. The next-door municipalities all around that one would censor it. We need to break up the news media corporations that are colluding to manipulate the media by lying, deception, and coverup.
The Democrats War On Police is taking its toll all over the country. Democrat mayors and governors got their violent looters backs. They seem entertained as police and law abiding citizens are abused by BLM/Antifa terrorists.
Mayors and city councils (aldermen)should demand accountability. Stop melodramatizing. Blame the criminals first and always, not police response when mayors and city councils sympathize with felons and career criminals instead of citizens. Either you enforce the thugs or the police no way around it. Vote these fools out of office. Take back your streets, let the police do their jobs.
Its outrageous how police officers are attacked on the streets and for the lack of support by the leadership in Democrat controlled cities.
This is the Obama Legacy in action.
When BLM eventually gets classified as a terrorist organization, I hope the big corporations get fined for ten times what they gave it, and some CEOs and Board members get arrested and prosecuted for aiding and abetting terrorism, and conspiracy.
There are literally hundreds of little groups cashing in calling themselves Black Lives Matters and all they do is add something else to it. The crazies on the Left are giving to god-know-what!
Sign me up I’ll sit downtown everyday and chill. Let the ghetto burn....who cares
The entire left of this country is fraudulent! From fake hate crimes to fake charities to fake politicians trying to sell us out. They are the enemy.
The whole BLM movement is just a marxist scam to get money
Hey FBI why don't you get working on all this voter fraud
Tip of the iceberg. Follow the money. I would bet most of the millions if not billions morons have donated to BLM is spent on bling rather than the supposed cause.
I would bet a LOT of people started up "Black Lives Matter" chapters and started raking in all kinds of money just by having that in the title.
The whole BLM “movement” is a rotten scam and should’ve been classified the same as Antifa.
The so-called journalists who are in reality Democratic Party shills have been trying to find anything - ANYTHING - that would be the way to get rid of Donald Trump. Claims of sexual harassment, Russia collusion, not paying taxes...the list goes on and on.
If they thought that saying that Trump was an illegal space alien from the planet Zork would get rid of him, they'd would go for that.
It's going to be extremely difficult to assassinate the character of a devout Catholic female who has always practiced her religion faithfully. Something like that will only go bad for the Democrats, if they dare.
The DIMS are in full panic mode. Their media lapdogs are as well. It is a pleasure to watch.
Let's make sure their worst nightmare comes to pass on Election Day.
The dims have no one to blame but Ruth Bader Ginsberg, she should have retired on her 80th birthday.
Polls are meaningless. What matters is the election in 2016 where the people voted for the President and the Senate members they wanted to appoint and confirm judges FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. That term has not expired. Obama had no such mandate as he didn't control the Senate.

What else is new? Chronic problem areas since the 1960's.
“Our City, Our Safety” will prioritize 15 neighborhoods on the South and West sides, where shootings are most common. Those neighborhoods are Austin, North Lawndale, Little Village, Humboldt Park, East Garfield Park, West Garfield Park, Englewood, West Englewood, Auburn Gresham, Greater Grand Crossing, South Shore, Back of the Yards, Chicago Lawn, Roseland and West Pullman.
...and millions of dollars...
“Only a sustained effort over several years rather than months will untangle the web of root conditions which fuel the violence and hopelessness that is the everyday experience of too many Black and Brown Chicagoans, and is spreading to all Chicagoans through this time of immense uncertainty,” the plan states.

Biggest show of merit managerial incompetence ever.
I heard a dozen recent retirees were checking out their new digs in D.C. recently.
Huh. I guess you'll need more the 2 years, 8 months to get the last bid spot on days in 001 now.
Since this is an out-of-district detail, shouldn’t it go by seniority, and reverse seniority if no one volunteers? Better check it out. If they’re arbitrarily sending units there, and it’s supposed to go by seniority, you have a winning case.
I just want to make sure the hood areas got their police
9/29/2020 08:46:00 AM
Where they're unwanted.
The tack order has been rescinded. They are back to two daytime tac teams.
If you are on a Tact team your stuck there til bids, if you bid off and they keep you on or reverse seniority you they have to give you time and a half for any shift change. Has anyone even read the consent decree who works at HQ. Get off Tac now.
A lot of Tact Teams went fetal. I agree with going fetal but tact and fetal don’t mix.
I guess that the department can order people to work the tact teams, after all it is an assignment and unless you are a bid to a watch and demand to keep that bid, you could end up on a tact team. Can the department knock you out of your bid? Will there be repercussions and a grievance? Even though they probably can force you to work tact, the department cannot force you to actually be aggressive and pro-active. But, I think I am ahead of myself because I believe that there will be plenty of volunteers for the tactical teams and there will be people risking their jobs to be proactive despite the signals from City Hall that they will throw you to the wolves if things go South. Watch it for you just might be the next You Tube sensation and a target of Leovy.

The order part where tact no longer works days is being suspended, effective Thursday morning. Someone finally convinced the higher ups what a fatal error that would be.
More crime happens at night. Day tact teams were always a cush spot for those who had a Chinaman. 2 hour lunches. After the 2 hour breakfast. With a dime bag dope pinch before shift ends.
What labor contract violation is there? None. If you don’t like it, don’t work tact. Management rights.

Thus endeth the lesson...
Why would anyone want to work tact? Is it the cargo pants or the baseball cap to the back? The perks are long gone. They ended somewhere are 2005.
Last I checked tact "works" a 4-6 hour tour. They don't respond to domestics and have almost zero liability. Don't all three fall asleep at the same time and just collect. You sound like you never been assigned to tact. Alderman's blessing is always needed to land in one of those spots.

Let me guess, you have been retired for the last 10-15 years..
Most Tact teams are being filled by reverse seniority today.
and now they want activity....or they will disband tact...we are in uniform it doesn't matter anymore who gives a fuck..and we are on straight nights...

It would be nice if these morons in charge could give somebody a little heads up that their entire life is going to change. If you’re on a straight day team which every district has one, do you know have to switch your entire life app to work nights. Is this permanent is a temporary stuff like that. We can expect our families to turn on a dime. Holiday schedule we didn’t need babysitting or anything else now I need babysitting. That’s fine but do I need a short term or long term.. I’ve been on the same day team for the past 14 years I have 24 years on. I need to know am I sticking this out for a few months or am I just going to go back to the days and write off into the sunset. My last kid is in eighth grade he still needs someone to take care of him throughout the night. These people are so inconsiderate and don’t have a fucking clue how much they infect people. I hope people absolutely get slaughteredDuring second watch. Fuck you and your lack of information..
Did you spend your duty availability check or did you give it back? Well no one can answer your questions because this department is being led on a dime.

You need to work on your skills if you can't handle a domestic call so you choose to go to tact instead. You sound like you're scared to work a beat car. There's more liability working tact, where they do more proactive policing, than there is working the watch. And fuck the aldermen. I would never want to owe any of them anything for any spot.
Tac order rescinded. Back to having day teams.
In my 33 yrs, I've NEVER been in a district with a straight days tact team.
Mission teams you nitwit

So you want sympathy, listen hard charger, give up up the gel and jeans. Put on the uniform and leave the team if it doesn't work for you and your family. Family first. If you still think you're going to make a change, grow up, us in the KMA club learned a long time ago that it's only 8 hrs and a check. Everything should be about your family, if it's not obvious to you, then you my friend, have a lot a problems to solve.
De Paul sells a lot of degrees to police officers. The city always pays. De Paul has to be nice to us. The kids on campus not so much. Not that interesting.

OT: Does anyone find it interesting that several instructors and numerous students at De Paul University are, shall we say, not police-friendly, yet De Paul has a full-page ad in the FOP magazine?
Inside front cover of the September edition.
Tact has been slowly dying since the late 90s. This finally put it out of its misery.

This joke stopped being funny 10 years ago. And again, stop staring at what the young boys are wearing. It weirding everyone out.
Also, everyone is in uniform, so the joke doesn’t even make sense. So you’re unfunny, uninformed, and can’t live within 500ft of a playground. Trifecta.
Can't wait to retire from this shithole circus!
I’m on a straight day team on the area south community safety platoon. I hope this won’t impact us. Lieutenant Cascone assured us we are all good. Stay safe!
Most tact teams are useless especially in 005. They shut down after the pandemic, check their numbers, might as well be back on the watch in uniforms answering the calls
They still have 2 tact secretaries, FOR WHAT?
Yes, FOP, we demand that De Paul be taken OUT of the FOP magazine!!
From a reliable source, is that this tact team time change is happening because Groot is upset that the teams ARE NOT producing numbers...Well Gee, you stupid Bitch, you have all the tact teams downtown standing around doing nothing and then you wonder why there are NO numbers???

Been getting sent to 001 and 018 quite a few times in the past month, been to a few spots and was told they only give discounts to guys with 001 or 018 on their unit designator. Reminiscent of how Ricobenes treated guys from HQ who go in and pay full boat while 009 and the old 021 eat for free.

**I'm so sick of cheap asses like you who make money and expect something for free?? Go fuck yourself and stop your crying. Boo Hoo. Bring your lunch to work then. Same shit happened in 014, certain places would take care of the police because they worked that district and answered their calls. Then everyone else from different districts found out, including the fucking useless METRA police, went to that establishment and put them out of business all because they had to get something for nothing. Let's see you open up a business, try to survive and give away all your profits.
No more of the bullshit " just send a paper car over here squad " from one of these little super troopers.
Again lots of of good Suburban departments taking laterals. No isrs, no moronic policies, yes they’re smaller agencies but there’s room for growth. You can be proactive because you’re not humping 20 calls a night and quality of life is much better. Did I mention better salaries? What’s the incentive to work here anymore???
How can this be? Sporting games, elections, parades, etc are held on the 2nd watch. Not to mention, most protests take place when government buildings and businesses are open which is on the 2nd watch as well. Use your brain Carter.

No actually the joke is even funnier because you're still on tact doing what the bosses want and in uniform
