Almost Half Strength

This is 010 midnights the other day:


Two field sergeants, but of the 12 beats in 010, you have the following:

  • early side - 1013, 1023 and 1071 down
  • late side - 1012, 1022, 1034 down

The only reason there's even a wagon up in one of the most violent Districts (5th place) is 1033 is driving it. Check out the Medical numbers - eleven....same as the number of people on furlough (8%).

Figure 33% of the cops are RDO, Furlough is 8%, Medical is 8%, add in the training and 010 has just over 50% of it's manpower unavailable for a single watch.

Not working in your area, some of your terms used on the blog are different from what I am used to at my agency.

Is "furlough" synonomous with "vacation time" or "paid time off" at CPD ? (Where I work, "furlough" usually means "unpaid time off".)

I presume "RDO" is "Regular Day Off".

Definitions for any other commonly used terms would be appreciated.

Don't know how you guys put up with the maroons running the City and your Department. I'd be out in a minute, even if I had to flip burgers. Nothing's worth your sanity - much less your life.

Nobody gives a f*** about the lowly beat officer. If it’s not their lives on the line answering these domestics then they couldn’t careless. It’s the very f***ed up CPD reality. Hit the medical. 1500 already did.

Fk this. Luckiy i work near my home, boarder district. As I'm a tax payer also, i need police deterrence on my block since 016 lacks officers or could careless about the proteticing the homeland. I sit there and not a single 016th district car will pass by for hrs. The rest of downtown can go the dogs, i will never go there with my family unless for insurance benefits or court purposes. My objective is to protect my block and house while on the job(PERIOD). Every cop neighborhood for himself now i guess.

On Friday in 009 the 1st watch was down 18 bodies due to Covid. The 1st watch WC was looking for 18 volunteers to stay over from 3rd watch to work midnights. The funny thing is that there wasn’t even 18 people working 3rd watch. It’s amazing that this department is even able to function.

This is what the citizens want. To enforce their want this is what they voted for. Seeing the outcome from their initial votes, they liked it so much they voted for it, even more intensively, again. The current situation is the will of the people. The recipient class has spoken. Ya can’t change it. As in the 60’s when I was an LEO, the pendulum seemed stick to the left. It will swing back with time, but at what cost. Stay safe. Stay well.

come on man , no police will ever respond to a mental or domestic problem unless a violent crime has been committed .
send in the social workers and the men in white coats . arm them with pepper spray , tranquilizer guns and straight jackets .

when /if they become battery victims , they can then complete a report , go to court and obtain an arrest warrant . Detectives , tactical teams can follow up if victim want to prosecute .

Just go to work, log onto PDT and get your coffee or pop and go sit somewhere. Only answer your radio assignments and slow roll to them. Do the required report and relocate to a different spot. Never return to the prior spot that tour so GPS can catch you just sitting.

What a slap in the face to all those who cast mail in ballots for the democrats in little village and north lawndale. After the census was conducted, lists of undocumented workers were created and mail in ballots were submitted on their behalf as not to suppress undocumented voting rights. Lots of mail in ballots and look what they actually voted for. Less protection by the police and carefully created distortions to give a false sense of security. North Lawndale and little village got sold out and cheated by city hall and the ultimate party in control of everything. When will they learn?

010 doesn't have a wagon anymore.

It was bad ever since there was no more rapids, especially on 3rd watch.

Now we don't even have a wagon!

This department is sooooo fucked up. The worst I have seen it in my 30 years. Only reason I am staying is because I think the city owes me medical after putting over 1/2 my life into service for this moron led department.

Good ol’ Marquette Park! I worked there for many years. Glad to be out of that hell hole, especially after it became overrun by PPO’s and various other twinks with no time.

Can someone tell me if the idiots on the 88 cars are still chasing after Obama cards? You know what I’m talking about? Those blue index cards that you generate on T stops that are suppose to prove how racist everyone is

This is shameful, and yet the city finds it acceptable. Go figure, just like soldiers, cops are expendable in the end, bury one and replace them without a care.

Same thing in 012, seen the cops pass by maybe twice on my block(not call related) and I've lived here a few years. Then again, the Italians don't play games near my block or in the neighborhood, maybe the crime mysteriously dies on the block. Stay safe.

Part of the problem is summer oops I mean winter mobile being extended an extra 3 months! Corona virus injured cops one of which was shot and another in a bad traffic accident while on duty is understandable but jeez why is "winter mobile" being extended. What are these guys doing in that unit that is as important as manning a beat car in their home districts during these tough times. It really is ridiculous!
