Here Comes Smoke and Mirrors

The did this last decade, too:

  • Expect the watch sheets to start getting creative. Commanders are now required to send their sheets downtown and report any down cars. Brownie and Carter don’t want to admit they stripped the districts of manpower so they are forcing commanders to show the cars are up and manned doesn’t matter how, JUST DO IT.

This is sort of the opposite of what they did when J-Fled or McCarthy "ended" the Watch Secretary position. The commanders created phantom cars and people who never saw the street anyway were listed as "Foot Posts" or "Station Security" or some other nonsense. Entire teams were created simply to hide harems off the street.

This time, they'll put the house mice "in cars" so it looks like the beats are manned, when in reality, those people never hit the streets. And at some point, someone is going to get seriously injured because the sheets look full and the back-up isn't there.

They won’t have any problem doing this they will just lie like always. Everything is a lie. It’s the way Chicago works. They will say the house mice are on the streets while they will still be inside shopping online. The odd part is headquarters is the ones that stripped the districts by taking all the bodies for downtown, summer mobile, cta and the new community(smoke and mirrors blue card)unit. So why should they be surprised that districts are shot staffed? They caused the shortage

Brown and Carter totally fucked up by stripping the districts of officers that they weren’t in the position to loan. Common sense should’ve told Brown and Carter that after officers worked 12 hours days straight for 3 weeks with no days off that they’d have to take care of their health, wellness and families. Following the detail officers had to catch up on their home lives and still juggle work. We are human you know? Remote learning for school age children started up and officers were denied CU because other officers and supervisors were being loaned to 001 and 018 just to appease Groot. This detail left districts with one officer per car and one sergeant on midnights in high crime districts. 99 units were responding to shootings, death investigations, domestics,etc alone. This is totally against the consent decree‘s ratio of supervisors to P.O’s. In districts like 002, 003 and 007 for instance midnight officers hit the medical just to get a day off to catch up on rest and family business. This occurred all while the JISC was closed and the Areas were processing juveniles while most of their detectives were detailed downtown to Michigan Avenue, as well. Areas were told to have processing teams. Carter made sure his wife could see their children off and that she could take care of family business.

014th District has been very creative. Officers from 3rd watch have been "penciled-in" on the 1st watch sheets. *You are going to love this... There's more officers on the Mayor's detail than the entire watch on midnights for the entire 014th district. The mayor's sidewalk is more important that the citizens in 014th district.

Mandatory to give everyone you encounter a police report. Pull a non criminal-person or property and that’s that now back to the station you go. Take time documenting everything in great detail and let the Sergeants worry about a RAP in the district. The city is done.

Take a look at that disability sheet, some officers, are totally legit, but some are not, have been collecting full pay, no taxes taken out of the checks, free insurance their whole career on the disability, playing the game so they don’t have to work. They Will go to the extreme of a surgery, just not to return. I love when you see them with a cane and the next thing walking so fast not to be seen. What a scam for the hard working officers past and present. Strip the cons and have them return all that money they have been pulling in for years and years.

They usually call this fraud in the private sector.

Putting lies on a sheet of paper in these times is really a great idea.

With reporters asking great question like did an officer knock on a NO KNOCK warrant.

or why did the officer fire 16 shots instead of using karate to knock the knife out of drug zombies hand.

The sheets should be signed by whoever approves them so when the investigation begins they can ask the white shirt.

No money for this for hiring more police officers for a good place contract forget again millions and millions of money thrown away to criminals yes they are criminals I’m sorry to say here illegally not getting the proper immigration status that is a crime it’s a federal law has violated by the politicians especially the Democrats on a daily basis many of been here for years and years and not even applied to be citizens of this great country I just want to take it vantage of the country that’s what they do;

Older people will soon receive health coverage in Illinois regardless of immigration status under first-in-nation program: ‘It’s a relief’

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-health-coverage-low-income-immigrant-seniors-illinois-20201005-7llqiixynrc7ropg6aqt7xjnvq-story.html

The governor says Illinois is broke the crazy insane marijuana smoking lieutenant governor is calling for a 20% tax increase on everyone but yet they can give away more and more money how do you spend the money when you don’t have the money? When people go to the store they have to buy groceries they have no money does the merchant you say all here you go here’s your free food no they see you you have to come back when you can pay for it that is called reciprocity, you buy things you pay for them simple as that!

Remember rahm was laughing his ass off when he took away the police retiree health care being congratulated by the other campaign contributors to his manila envelope campaign when he took the healthcare away this is from hard-working police officers that day after day toilet in the jungles of the city of Chicago the most corrupt city state and county and United States of America and he took their healthcare away but yet you can get free away to people that are breaking federal laws that’s typical of the Democratic Party. If anyone votes for Democrat you are mentally deranged totally deranged incredible what’s going on in this swamp!

With our sheets on midnights having 5 down cars and two 99 units; we still have officers doing traffic stops. Then they catch a 501 or a warrant and are in the lock up for the next 2-3 hours. Even in a RAP on a weekend they find a way to get their “501”. WTF?

The 99 units are always cut early. At the end of the tour there is usually 1 beat car trying to code everything out. This is not safe. There is no backup coming. But hey at least the young guys got to fill their stats and court key with another stupid arrest for a city that doesn’t give a sh*t.

If there’s 15 primary Beats, 9 Rapids, 4 Sgts being fully utilized in any District, that’s 28 vehicles needed plus a dedicated wagon or two.
Are there that many vehicles available in working order in any District, even after redeployments elsewhere ?

Years ago, there was a Daily Manpower Report--every watch did one every day- sort of a tally sheet ...3 Lt Assigned ..1 Lt working ..1 RDO and 1 medical....9 Sgts assigned 4 Sgts working..2 Sgts RDO..1 Sgt detailed..2 Sgt Furlo----and it was nothing but a BIG LIE---actually kind of humorous--it diid not match the A and A or the watch sheets because it didnt have to - it was "the" sheet downtown looked at

If fckn HQ wants the manpower ,they better start with the lineup sent to OEMC--which starts with Star number on Beats....of course it then might quickly fall apart as "cars ' are reassigned or oemc is told they are unavailable for calls (usually because they were never going out anyways)

Appears a few people haven’t been paying attention. No 3 Fred Waller complained about districts being stripped during a meeting at headquarters with a group including two federal monitors. Originally he was given a 14 day suspension but was raised to 28 days. He retired soon afterwards. You hope the federal people don’t hear that districts are short.

Back in the day, Sup.Fred Rice had the same problem. He was being raked over the coals about manpower and beat cars being unmanned by the press. So what did they do? The powers that be eliminated the beats to correspond to manpower. End of story. The media was happy with that and moved on without a beep and never questioned him again about it. I don't think the media has gotten any smarter since then.

If you work in a district and they are falsifying the sheets and putting you and the handful of other officers in danger, talk amongst yourselves carefully and collectively hit the medical and force the bosses to handle jobs. If you don’t stand up for yourselves this trial model of not hiring and reallocating CPD funds will become the norm and how the department will proceed in the future. It’s time to stop whining and start acting especially if you are young, the next step will be to dismantle the union and the 10-12 hour day.

Actually it’s the opposite. They are doing it to show the need for more manpower because of all the down cars. They want to actually use it to their defense when they eliminate the tac teams and put the manpower back on beat cars. Then, when the beat cars are filled and the officers are detailed downtown they will have enough manpower on the books. Then they will eliminate 1100 positions from the department Budget because tac doesn’t need to be filled. This IS the plan. It’s not a what if. They don’t care at all about overtime this year, they are using that also. They will say how TAC had the most OT and the watches were bare bone. Now they will em limo are a ton of OT from the books and 1100 spots from the budget while at the same time put more cops”back on the beat”. This is the plan. They don’t want tac. You might as well order the 2021 body bags now.
