Thirty-Five Openings?
So the Department posted bid openings across the city and it looked something like this:
- 003 - 35
- 016 - 1
- 017 - 2
- 020 - 1
That's it. This is eerily reminiscent of the stunt they pulled about ten years ago where the Department wouldn't post a single opening for months on end and then come up with double-digits in a bunch undesirable spots. Any movement was one-for-one trades, so you really had to keep an eye on things to see who was moving where.

Eerily reminiscent of Covid reporting, isn't it?
130+ sergeants retiring 15 October !!!
Squad policing. It doesn't work.
I have 23 years on. Do you think I’ll make bid to 003? I figure with 35 openings my chances are pretty good.
How many bid openings for 011, 007, 006, 010, 004, 015 and relatively "slow" 019? Does 003 lead all 22 districts for bid openings? What districts are the runners-up?
SCC is wise in not posting a topic for comment on last night's passing of our beloved "iconic" Justice RBG.
Will that one opening in 016 be a officer for Bt 1621? Have not scene a patrol beat up here since I retired. Sometimes I feel like I’ve made the big time because I see Lincolnwood patrolling the streets more than lack of the beat that is assigned here.
Better start paying a stipend to work 003, or get get another class of recruits to flood in... do 8 in the academy and 4 in 003. You go your 12 hours and wooo hoooo!
Hmmmmmmmmmm...
Who’s running 003??
Quarterman?
Ward?
Starling?
For those who know, it’s little wonder as to why they have no personnel.
They forgot to add to the announcement that only female p.o.c. need apply.
The desk crew in 003 on 2nd watch is enough to make anyone avoid that hell hole
You have 7, 11, and other busier / deadlier districts. What’s up with 3?
Do they still get to golf for free at South Shore and Jackson Park?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Who the fuck wants to work in 03??
I just retired last week maybe I should come back and go to oo3
How's the new 008 commander? Looking to get closer to home
Goes both ways Vicko you sicko!
35 vacancies in 003 ???
Looks like they’re establishing a dumping ground if you axe’ me.
That’s an entire Watch with allocations for rdo’s, comp time and furloughs in 016, 017...or an additional supplemental administrative staff in 020. Anyone know the last time there were Opening(s) in 016,017,020?
What ever happened to Cops on Dots and those Street Sweepers jump-out boys that clean up after the community? They pulled volunteers from Districts all over months ago and only now we’re short 1 or 2 from the N-NW side?
Better mismanagement brought to you by the 21st Century Re-Imagined Police model.
You can check out anytime but you can never leave.
I went to 03 once to drop off a Victim,What a dump.
So if they open a number like this, it is so they can use management to fill. remember they have to open for bid so many spot to get the management percentage bid.
003 is offering Starbucks gift certificates to all that bid.

Call Samantha Nugent’s office and complain. She might get a squad to come by once a month or so. It’s not like you pay taxes up there or anything crazy like that...

I lived on 1621's Beat also and retired 2 years ago.
Now I'm in Knox County Tennessee.
Get with the program pal !!!

Hell they seem to be the only ones that know anything, they got me thru plenty of late arrests before Ward would come in.
Avoid it at all cost
I've been stripped for years. I'll gladly work in 003 if they want to end my case.
Everyone they can is leaving as rapidly as possible some that are not even on the age where they can get the medical at reduced rates they’re just getting the fuck out as quickly as they can and sorry to say can’t blame anyone! Citi is a rapidly sinking ship with especially one race of people that is causing so much problems so much murder Mayham bloodshed the funny thing is are the insanity is the same people the same race of people are running the city and state and county I know the guy running the state he spent over $200 million of mom and dad‘s money to buy the governors office he’s just like them though clueless sickening and pathetic! Support each other support the thin blue line that’s what matters nothing else sorry to say people especially you stupid liberals you’re on your own and if anyone vote Democratic you are doing it at your own fate like committing suicide for you and your family .
long retired now, but....about 35 years ago or so, promoted from the D to Sgt., then assigned to 003.....thought I had died and landed on another planet....it was bad then....is it worse now, if that's possible?
To the unlucky pop’s being sent there, pray for 1st or 2nd watch. 3rd watch with Lt Ward is hell
Hi there... would you please post what a 'bid opening' is. I don't think I understand. Also it would be interesting to have a map of where all the districts are. Thank you so much. "Non cop reader"
Hey , I thought Lori Lightfoot and brownie fife said part 2 of sergeants test would be in October 2020
doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon .

Desk crew 12 years ago was shit too
009 ppl retiring left and right, and no bid openings. Midnights it’s so bad with so many down cars.
Im giving up my spot in 017 to be Da real police in 003!
Strange that multiple districts could have down cars every day but still no vacancies. Strange that they can create new citywide units, stealing manpower from already shorthanded districts, and think everything will be covered somehow. I'm sure there are no down cars in certain neighborhoods, but the ones where actual law-abiding, tax-paying, working citizens live are being left with minimal police coverage. Hard to believe there's not one vacancy in any other districts. Aren't people retiring and resigning in record numbers? That should leave some vacancies. There should be a known number for the necessary manpower for each district. Any time that number falls below the required number, there should be a vacancy. That's not how it works though, despite how simple and effective that would be. They have to skew everything and lie so they can force most of the resources into undesirable, crime-ridden, police-hating, shithole neighborhoods. On the other hand, posting 35 vacancies should give the department a clue that whatever worthless, incompetent boss they've installed in a particular district isn't working out. There should be a vacancy to fill in the commander's office at that point.
I’m confused, if all of the teams are sent to 01and 18 everyday because they have no manpower why are there not hundreds of openings down there?
Kind of of like the number of openings years ago when Curtin was the Commander of 025.
Sounds like car 300 has all the prerequisites for a bump to deputy chief
017 gets a whole 2 bodies, whoopee. That is 20% of recovery from the ten they took for paint the fire hydrandt and pull the weeds unit. Who is the lolly pop sucking fool that is creating these goofy units. News flash, someone has to actually respond when someone calls 911 and yes, once in a while the cuffs have to go on and the fun and games begin. Hard to accomplish when you have 5 cars up in an entire district.
Yeah it’s kind of funny! I have to report to this new unit tomorrow and my Sgt asked if any of us have a gas weed wacker to bring to work! Ugh long 90 days ahead! I didn’t sign up to be a landscaper
How many police officers retire per year, and how many probationary officers are hired per year ?????
Too close to retirement, just can't wait to retire from the shithole!
Outside of Lt Ward, 003 is not that bad of a place to work. Plenty of good supervisors there. It’s had a bad rap for a long time. Has nothing to do with the current leadership. The department has always played games with the bid openings. Watch next month, nobody will bid into 003 but those 35 spots will somehow disappear.

There are lots of reasons why they are working the desk, majority of those reasons are not good.
There are few though who are very efficient, knowledgeable, and good examples.
People want to escape the incompetence of the lts in 005
Me and my partner from HQ are putting in to go to 003 tommorow. I can’t wait. I love this city and the bosses are great in this department. I want to get the guns and drugs off the street. I can make a difference in 003!
You have 7, 11, and other busier / deadlier districts. What’s up with 3?
9/19/2020 06:39:00 AM
I would take 7 or 11 over 3 any day of the week.
Come to 003 and work for LT Ward! She had the cheat sheets to "all" the tests!
Two separate mass shootings injure 9 in West Englewood,
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-west-englewood-shooting-20200919-aqvsldcjxzfu3krdbqioasqkny-story.htm
The headline says it allmayor what do you think? Ahh yes democratic evil anti police rule, keep supporting the felons and fuck you lori!
Did everyone leave because Commander Bangles left with her most awesome leadership skills? Also, you can’t claim that 003’s desk crew is bad without acknowledging 002’s third watch desk crew. It’s like watching cattle graze while a citizen waits for a report while standing over a homeless person jerking off or shitting their pants.
Shouldn't the Mayor trust her hand-picked Chief to run the Dept instead of micro-managing?
Shouldn't the Mayor focus on the lost conventions, lack of casino, failed School districts, fleeing taxpayers and retail collapse?
Why does she think every problem in the City is the fault of CPD?
Contaminated water? Cops fault.
Striking teachers? Blame the Police.
Dumpster fires? Gotta be the Police again.
Maybe she was put here intentionally to destroy the Dept?

not the Lt that would score lower than a rock on a promotion test that has lost at least three guns???
003rd district is not a bad place to work in,I've been in 003 for 11 years and nothing but great bosses on 1st watch. If you've never worked here you have no place to comment.

Why don't you actually try to earn your junior journalist merit badge by looking for the answers yourself? If you found this blog, but can't find a map of the city's police districts, please just stay off the internet. You're not qualified to use it. Wait a minute... is this Joe Biden? C'mon man!
I just read an article that there are something like 800 open jobs in CPD. But they only listed about 40 total openings?!?!?! Hahaha. Tells you right there what’s going on.
How many police officers retire per year and how many recruits are hired per year????
Are you talking about Lt. Ward who recently led the recent secretive study group for sergeant with Fenner at the firehouse..and everyone in it failed the first part of the sergeant’s exam.

Exactly, officers from busy districts posted from Jackson to Wacker and bored to death. Waiting on an exempt to release them at 6am and the exempts are home in bed catching ZZZZZ.
Officers are leaving this job. The exempt line up is the worse it’s ever been.
"How many police officers retire per year?"
A: Too many!
"and how many recruits are hired per year????"
A: NOT ENOUGH!!!

Really? The number of vacancies in a unit or district has no direct correlation with the number of officers less than budgeted in the department.

Some people passed, but they all talked shit about her. She chose to help them instead of people that actually liked her.

Ya that was pretty dull. What are they supposed to post openings for civilians?
