Pick a Strategy Please
It's not that the CPD is rudderless.....it just is led by people with no sense of direction, nor any ability to actually come up with an effective strategy:
The Chicago Police Department plans to add as many as 100 officers to its citywide narcotics unit, police confirmed Thursday, signaling a policy reversal from earlier this year when top officials placed more of an emphasis on supporting neighborhood patrols.
No time frame has been disclosed for when the narcotics unit would be expanded, but police sources said the process would be underway shortly.
Police spokesman [...] confirmed the unit would add about 80 to 100 more cops and said Superintendent David Brown wanted the unit to focus more on lengthy investigations into “mid-level” and “upper-level” drug dealers.
We're pretty sure they were already doing that, and one might make the argument that diverting resources away from that led directly to the massive uptick in murders this year (see post above this one).
We're betting that too many connected persons were entrenched that the current command couldn't move out of their spots, so they launched almost the entire unit, and now they'll fill it with their chosen ones.

you lost the war on drugs,,,,,raise the white flag
Please get rid of the remaining Riccio suck holes in Narcotics.Also shut the door on his chosen ones from ever getting into the building.
It’s the “street level” that causes the problems
And of course, make all of this public knowledge just to
make it fair for the mid-to-upper level drug dealers.
Can't say the Vexin Texan didn't warn ya'll.
He gave you plenty of time to change your ways and repent.
Brownie should hold a drug buy back program and a come
to Jesus convocation. He'll trade you Bibles for street drugs
under the Big Top. Sure beats serving time and you get to
save your soul as a bonus. Who could refuse that?
More friends to narcotics God forbid a gun team would return because those dam drugs are the problem not guns. We have to promote the idiots before they get this scam 2nd part exam out to their friends I special study groups.
Ohh boy!! I'm gathering all my honorable mentions and sending it right away. I can't wait until it gets disbanded again and I get dumped to 003 or some other shithole. gee wiz, I hope we're in plain clothes.
Meh— just stand on the corner downtown for 12 hours and don’t lean on building— meh
Why? With the lab being closed again all cases will be nolled in bond court.
Weakness is leadership 1984
Well, the unit is moving in the right direction thanks to bipolar Mills and that dizzy Sergeant.
Fucking joke
No spots will be filled with tact teams that will be dismantled
So what's new about this? The contract allows the department (i.e., City Hall) to staff those 'discretionary units' at their discretion!
It'll never change...
Another strategy LOL
Flip flop goes the clueless.
Yeah, the idiots that thought they had a brilliant idea and dismantled 189 saw a direct and immediate correlation to an uptick in violence.
Gee, who would have ever thought that the people selling dope are also the same people doing shootings and murders.
Never would have guessed.
So yeah, taking dope dealers off the street does help lower the murder rate.
Those 100 officers coding burglar alarms and scratching out paper jobs don’t lower the murder rate.
Take the offenders out of play. It’s common sense.
So do all the old officer get there spots back?
is this a new bid?
Another 100 BLUE SHIRTs who will give up contract protections so they can wear jean.
Enjoy the year of detail keep in mind AINT NOBODY hiring and the city is real quiet about retirements.
Put Voight from Chicago PD in charge. Problems solved. Not kidding at all you got a clueless clown posing as Superintendent now why not an actor filling the role. This would be a giant upgrade. Someone should sit Brownie down and force him to watch all seasons of Blue Bloods to teach him how to run a police department. Any and all issues that the CPD currently is dealing with have been addresses properly on that show. Problem being Brown lacks the backbone and wisdom of Tom Sellicks NYPD Commissioner. Backbone and Balls are needed for the job and Brown is sadly lacking in both. But it is fun watching his flailing efforts. Better than any scripted police show. At least he has answered that nagging question of, “What can Brown do for you”. NOTHING, NADA, ZERO, ZIP. Total fail!
Here we go again another doomed to failed attempt to look like we are trying to do doing something. LOL new program dead on arrival.
Just more smoke and mirrors to sound good at presser.
Pulling another 100 cops off the already manpower short districts? Abolish CAPS and put them out on street where they might do some good. CAPS has failed from day one. Not a single metric warrants keeping program alive. CAPS offices filled with a bunch of merit wannabe police types afraid of their own shadows. Not a single worthy cop in the entire CAPS organization from top to bottom.
OK, every honest writer or reader here should understand - we Chicagoans live under "Anarcho-Tyranny". This was a term created by the late Conservative writer Sam Francis to describe American urban/university communities that have violent criminal anarchy (sh** like car jackings, drive by shootings, wilding mobs attacking people and looting without fear of arrest, prosecution and punishment) and government tyranny - where Lib Leftist BLM government/academics/media bully average citizens in a thousand petty ways - things like prohibiting healthy citizens from walking on the beach, or preventing Conservatives to attend church services.
So what do we do?
1) Flee in terror. But understand lots of once nice, sane, safe Conservative places like Kenosha WI, Salt Lake City Utah and Park Slope Utah, Portland Oregon and state politics in Oregon aren't safe and Conservative anymore - leftists people are migrating and just huge numbers of undocumented, Section 8 welfare people are moving to Conservative places. The anti White, cult marxists have made their long march through our institutions in places like the University of Chicago English Literature PHD program. U Chicago English PHD program basically just ended teaching English literature to concentrate full time on BLM BlackLivesMatter activism!
I'll share some other suggestions, observations as this is too much for one comment.
Just understand everyone - we live in a very rough and very corrupt and tyrannical city/society. Please put away any allusions that Chicago is going to be made back in to the Norman Rockwell, Ike, Leave it to Beaver, Mayor Daley Sr. world we so muck liked. That Chicago is....
Gone with the Wind.
JR
Left Behind in Chicago
I've never been in a unit, but this sounds like the real deal. I'm off to buy some skinny jeans and a baseball cap so I can look super kool.
Back in the Phil Cline days all narcotics teams focused on street corner conspiracy cases. That resulted in a lot of hardcore gangbangers getting locked up and sent to prison. Recently , narcotics has become like a tact team , because all they want are numbers numbers numbers. Here’s a tip for the bosses locking up 55 year old hypes who sell drugs to the police (buy bust) has zero effect on getting rid of violent gang members.
Put it in, take it out.....
Dump narcotics units and intelligence units, watch
shooting/murders go up.....
What is old is new, what is new is old.....
Tip n clue: when there is NO punishment, NO jail,
there is NO deterrent to crime......
POC dying/hospitalized by the dozens weekly.......nope, not the Plague!
LEAD POISONING!
One would think that the TWO WOMEN OF COLOR responsible for this
would care more.....but alas, they do NOT!
One would think that POC would have held these two to their lawful
responsibilities, but alas, they did NOT!
Not rudderless but who wants Moe, Larry and Curly steering the ship.
Hahahahahahahahaha
Look, I've worked with some INCREDIBLE humans in this profession (this accounts for EVERYONE that works alongside). I've also worked with the laziest pieces of shit ever to lace their shoes (or velcro I suppose).
The problem is simple: NO ACCOUNTABILITY, zero. Top shits on bottom, bottom hates top, middle stuck and annoyed.
Grow some fortitude, Cook/Chicago... all problems circle back to accountability. My favorite co-workers, leaders, and associates at this agency all retired or finally grew sick of this place. I do believe it's possible to save this area, but I can't do it alone.
Politics aside, just be better humans. Actions have consequences, people need to learn/rehab and ideally not re-offend.
Full Merit Chickenshit command staff won’t agree on a strategy and none willing take to the bow of the sinking ship they set adrift. If that shit don’t work, blame the lowly flunky blue shirt for being skittish nonproductives. Browny Fife is as incompetent as they get and he wants more merit promotions. Don’t trust this tepid boner to back you up on any arrest that goes to shit.
What’s a mid-level compared to a high-level diller?
How does that concept compare to a mid-level Merit to a high-level Merit?
Hushed and Flushed Brown...he’s reaching for another 3 paychecks.
I’ll buy a square, but putting all my toothpicks on 04 Jan as his official ouster.
They will probably crack down on Vitamin C. They are having a hard time with their scamdemic and scamballets. Dominion will also take over Comstat to lower homicides and increase manpower.
Not a big fan of Phil but he had the right idea about street corner conspiracies. These demand active ASA involvement-- will this States Attorney cooperate? With the conspiracies comes some knowledge of COH and the correct equipment for filming and surveillance. Do these items still exist. Writing a COH is no big deal if you have a cooperating ASA. As for connecting street corners, a Pen Register used to be used as a requirement if you were going for a wiretap. Do the ASAs have the experience and how many experienced officers and sergeants are left? Just doing hand to hands with out the film and coh-- will lose many in court. Worked narcotics for 10 years and been retired for 13. If there is no real cooperation with States Attorneys and a lack of experience, there will be problems. Stay safe out there.
From people in HQ and City Hall: Lightfoot and the aldermen are getting pissed and downright worried that growing marijuana street sales are cutting into the legal weed dispensaries (and government’s) profits. The street value of weed went up 15-20% as the greedy politicians are taxing “leaf” back underground. So to be clear...in 2019 enforcement of marijuana laws and the War on Drugs was racist. Now in 2020 enforcement of marijuana laws aren’t racist but necessary for law and order. {snicker} Now they want Narcotics to go after street weed dealers. You can’t make this stuff up...
Talk about strategies, the good ole 003rd district caps has been doing tactical community relations with the tact teams. Last month it was clean up 71st and Indiana with the 361 team. Today was walk and talk with the community and the 363 team. Theres a flyer out there for the event. Great strategies.
""we got on the tact team on our own merits yes we did and we were top on the hiring list also and we didn't have any clout no we didn't and we are gonna be sgts and then lts, to all with no clout""
Start growing your beards out again boys!!!
"you lost the war on drugs,,,,,raise the white flag"
That's pretty much where I am on it...Western culture has been building a great and glorious cathedral to booze and drugs since the 1960s, yet people still question why it's so prevalent and shoddily enforced?? If politicians had any moral integrity they'd either go ahead and legalize just about everything or prosecute a few thousand prominent members of the infotainment industry for corrupting the youth--not like the powers that be haven't been campaigning on that for decades--but they won't since it's all just part of the shell game to keep the sheeple under thumb.
time to clean house and get a bunch of strokes in...can't wait. it was bad before when we got entitled kids...had to worry more about them fucking up than the bad guys. been on a few deals where these asshats were playing on their phones instead of watching my back. a couple of them didn't last long. what happens at the square stays at the square!
But Joe Biden said nobody should be in jail for drugs. Lol

Amen brother!
I call bull s---. With Covid, the Clinton crime bill retirees (up to 3300 members ) and the fact that democrats demonized the police to the point noone wants this job, they'll be lucky to fill the beat cars in two years.

When Colorado added the legal weed they were after the street dealers hard. Chicago not so much. If Chicago wants to take over the weed game they need to take over the corner like street dealers. But this for that to work you need hard buy in from the ASA and the department. No more just letting people/folks walking away with their little dime bag bc it isn’t worth the time to process. Possession in any unapproved container needs to be charged.
Taking bets on how many of those “100” officers will be seeing copa for their eagerness to work. Breaking your back for bosses who don’t give a shit about you. Just know you’re the last of anyone who will ever work again

Have you looked at the numbers from 189 lately? They're almost nonexistent. They've been on a rapid decline since 2016. Only 1 team does search warrants.
I don't blame them.
Hmm this sounds like a another way to have a covert super secret study group for Sgt Exam Part II :-O
Damn! Study group OR School -_-
5:52 exactly what planet do you live On? Drug charges LOL. All your doing is helping the state collect more money by driving the corner customer to a legal shop. Stop and think of the implications of that before you make stupid statements. Like you could control the drug trade anyways. Wake up fool the days of proactive policing are now officially over. Now BLM has added close the prisons along with defending police demands. And the New Democratic administration will give them their way mark my words. If you haven't gone to Indiana and bought a shot gun yet your almost to late. Get a FOID card and apply for your CCW because the police are no longer able to protect you. Words to the wise.
Great. More outside units. Now the watches can be further decimated so that a select few can be “proactive” in a city that will hang you for proactive policing. Real smart

Dave are fucking "nuts" saying something stupid like that. Its saying these hollow remarks coming out of your mouth that say I am really stupid. And you masquerade as a professional law enforcement executive. Come on man, you couldn't hold a candle to Charlie Beck. You are just a moron dressed up like someone important. Just stand there and look good. Don't open your mouth, just stand there and STFU.

Were you on the job under Cline? Are you even a cop now? The Cline years read differently to those of us actually working the streets. Must look nice on your TV.
Omg swing the pendulum again. What difference does it make where officers are assigned? If the states attorney's office does not prosecute and the judges do not put bad guys in jail and Dart does not keep them in jail, the police are just wasting their time. One can't work well without the other. Until that dream ever happens,Chicago will remain a crime ridden city.
When I worked at A/4 VC it amused me when 5-6 narcotics people would come in to use our facilities and they had one guy in custody in possession of a dime bag.
Remember that merit commander plan drive around hot spots with blue lights and sirens , blowing stop signs , red lights .
What an idiot , was that his answer on the oral ?
Love to see the disappointed faces at CST when Barz don’t get them over like he promised. The sad part is they still think he’ll come through. Jajajajajajajaja.
Ohh boy!! I'm gathering all my honorable mentions and sending it right away. I can't wait until it gets disbanded again and I get dumped to 003 or some other shithole. gee wiz, I hope we're in plain clothes.
rEaL pOOOLeeeeCCCEE
Has anyone watch the latest chicago pd? Sgt has his unit up for grabs because everything has changed. Even the young po's are going with the new way of policing. cpd is not what is now and its not getting better. no contact no new hires its not looking good. and not to mention the po's who are retiring from the job. im not saying we should be like chicago pd but the whole system is broken. kim fox got reelected. how does that happen. i know there are a lot of hard working police on cpd but as of late who wants to do anything that might lose their job or end up in jail? and as the post about the 26 new recruits it just shows how this department and this city is in for a real wake up call when next summer were working rdo's cancelled and 12 hr days because of "manpower shortages." And what po currently working can say they had a great summer of 2020? how many times were we "deployed" how many rdo's cancelled and the poor po's with the bad dog that worked 12 straight days with no rdo's?
Not rudderless at all just being artfully steered in the direction that the powers at City Hall direct. Right on course.
When I worked at A/4 VC it amused me when 5-6 narcotics people would come in to use our facilities and they had one guy in custody in possession of a dime bag
Sounds like your a hater and just making something up to be negative towards narcotics . It’s doubtful a team would go to area 4 to process when they could go to homan (5 blocks away approximately) and process in the comfort of their own office. Have a great thanksgiving. Try to spread positivity in the future .
189

I don't blame them.

I noticed that the numbers have declined. 189 still have a lot of dead weight in the unit. Lot of officers still stick in doing one buy and they’re done for the day. Female officer TJ been on the medical with a bogus IOD and every since I’ve known her she just does what the fuck she wants to do. Her juice must be pretty heavy because she’s useless. Detail should have been canceled 3 years ago. Too many officers in 189 not pulling their weight. Clean house mills get rid of those lazy assholes. There’s 3 on my team and the sergeant acts like he’s afraid to supervise them
The emergency rooms are overloaded all over Colorado because of legal weed. The legal weed has been refined to new powerful strengths. The younger set is paying the price with mental health issues. A very good article by emergency room physicians in The Epock Times. And, it also seems that the legal weed trade has not put a dent in the street trade.
“ Not a big fan of Phil but he had the right idea about street corner conspiracies.”
- those results came of Clinton Crime Bill lock’m up crackdowns.
Things different then, but remember Shortshanks - the inventor of Sanctuary City that eventually led to the illegal immigration influx and drug trafficking thru NAFTA. Easy pickings as far as CB #’s go, even OPS had some commonsense back then and streets were cleaned up.
Dope still comes in from the southern border and not as much anymore in lots from China ship containers due to Trumps tariffing - but that like CookCo prosecutions will change for the worse again.
Democrats are not interested in narcotics trafficking that comes in with open borders and selling it will eventually become no criminal or legal throughout the USA. Need an example ...look to Mexico and much of South America governments, then Oregon and Washington states.
Drugs....
so 1990
How about shoplifting teams!!!
001/018 with all the demented homeless who live on CANAL STREET at the mission we could save the city.
How about a real auto theft team this catalytic converter nonsense still happening?
How big is a HOMICIDE TEAM???
IS BROWNIE dismantling TACT YET the numbers they have are comical? (yep the city has the numbers of every districts teams)
What every happened to Brett Goldstien and his crystal ball unit?
Is not even Black Friday and everyone is getting shot already
The whole city is up for grabs, promotions should be based on accomplishment, time in the job, where you’ve been and what you’ve done in your career. Not just a promoting friendship circle. A lot of experience gets left out because the friendship circle is deep. Lori and Brown start requesting resumes in order to promote the chosen. Bring back merit and you will see who’s qualified. I know some big dummies that got promoted meritorious but they were ass kissers and never was a worker. That’s a big difference when you send a sergeant to lead the troops but only worked in a cushy spot and don’t know shit so how will he know where to deploy his staff. This is the main reason we’re losing the battle because the experience is retiring and tired of being overlooked fir promotions
Bye I’m putting my papers in next week
Newsflash! Dope and murder are legal in Chicago.
