Quota Lieutenant

The Deuce is a few square miles of former housing projects. It was and remains a blighted area and not a really desirable place to work. And then someone decides to make it even worse (click for larger versions):


And he counseled the Officer for daring to complain about an illegal order, a violation of General Orders, not to mention a Administrative Directive via the past two administrations. Does he want to write the check right now for Hostile Workplace?

Anyone know if this guy was another "merit" promotion?

It gets better, this asshat had the balls to get a CR number on two fellow Lieutenants and a Sergeant recently when he was the acting Commander when the district Commander was on furlo. It was over proper procedure in handling a TRR, so in other words, not even remotely necessary. Apparently the position went to his head and he couldn’t help himself, he just had to flex his temporary Commander authority. What a douche. Sounds like someone who could use a good ass kicking.

Back in the day, as was told to me by a seasoned copper when new on the job, when a Sgt and above was a dick like this POS, but on a continuous basis, said boss would have to have a squad drive said boss home. The boss was known to have personal vehicle problems which necessitated the vehicle being towed to a repair garage. By some coincidence when boss stopped being a dick, the boss didn’t need to have a squad drive the boss home. Times have changed, vehicles are made better today. Vehicle gremlins don’t happen anymore.

Good for that officer. Other guys on the watch shouldn't be pussies and help pitch in. The cop that was counseled should hit the medical and then a few others should call out the badass Lt. at roll call. I guarantee he will shut the fuck up then. If he's merit???? Shiiiit. Request for him at roll call to define merit so you can one day get promoted like him, then maybe you will bring him in some activity. Don't worry, he won't be able to define it and I'll bet he doesn't have a Lambert Tree award to fall back on as his reason for being promoted.

First of all, 002 is pretty much a south side retirement district.
Definitely no longer “The Deuce.”
Crime and violence are lower, gentrification happening, etc.
A few murders and shootings, but very very slow compared to their neighbors 003 and 007.

Now about this LT. I don’t know the guy, and he sounds like a tool.
And while quotas and activity can’t and shouldn’t be the nexus for the pod treatment of his officers- I already hate when officer cry about something that is not guaranteed.
No, you don’t have a right to a management position. In fact, management positions are there for that exact purpose.
They pick someone to work a watch they don’t have seniority for, who in exchange tacitly agreed to bring in what’s requested.
If you are on management and don’t play their game, you aren’t holding up your end of the deal, and I don’t feel sorry if you get sent to the watch you have time to bid for. Sorry about situations, but seniority is a real thing unless you want to play the game.


And as shitty as it is- they can flop you from early car to late car every day- it’s within contractual agreements.
Is it a dick move? Absolutely. But it can certainly be done.

Ah,I was wondering when the 2nd District Real Estate Bob Vanna stories were going to surface.Old Bob matriculated over to the deuce from 019 where he had several open grievances against him along with a couple of CR,s for making sexist comments to female officers and ethnic and racist comments to hispanic officers and an asian officer.He whined and cried in 019 as he was the Junior Lieutenant and was stuck on 1st Watch.The other bosses in 019 despised and screwed with him.Before 019 he was a Sergeant at IAD,I know big surprise,where they did not care for old Bob there either.He is a condescending smug jagoff who thinks he is the smartest in the room.Never meet with him alone for "COUNSELING".Always have your Sergeant,Partner,or FOP Rep with you when he wishes to talk to you.He does not know his Patrol Division General Orders very well and always leans towards violating the Contract.Fight the good fight against him 2nd District Officers!

“Does he want to write the check right now for Hostile Workplace?”



This is exactly what needs to happen. The offending Bosshole needs to be hit PUNITIVELY.

Only once some of these cocksuckers start getting hit in THEIR pocket - as opposed to the city (AKA the taxpayers) footing the bill - will they slow their roll when it comes to issuing unlawful edicts.

So what now?...

Via this email, the officer notified superior officers of wrongdoing by Lt. Vanna. He even lamented the likelihood of being subjected to retaliation for airing this grievance (I’ve seen the entire email). Did any of the superior officers notified initiate disciplinary proceedings against Vanna?

Don’t let up now, officer. Insist a CR be initiated against Vanna. I guarantee someone gets assigned to do it now that it’s made the blog. I also guarantee that no one even entertains the thought of fucking with you now. In any event, be sure to thoroughly document any and all interactions with supervision moving forward.

I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see these assholes put on notice.

The officer that he counseled seems like he is off to a good start by documenting everything. Keep in mind officer that this is most likely coming from the Commander, and the Lt. is just his scared bitch puppet. Don't think it's over if all of a sudden the white shirts start pretending to be nice to you.

This Lt. can get transferred, or bid out, but the Commander could still be in charge holding a grudge. A year from now some new Lt. or Captain can start fucking with you all over again at the behest of the Commander for your activity....or lack thereof. You keep good enough records then it will show a pattern of harrassment.

Try to hit them with an EEOC complaint. The government will close it, but the department still has to open a C.R. and have BIA investigate. Granted, they will try to cover for the clouted but if you get enough witnesses dragged into it they will have a headache on their hands. I don't think IAD will be so brazen to sweep it under the rug nowadays with the consent decree. At least if they are smart and want to protect themselves they won't.

If nothing else, the department will get the message loud and clear to treat you like nitroglycerin. And if they don't and are still dumb enough to harrass you? Well, all the better for your lawsuit.

Recently added /advertised his spouse to his Edgebrook team at B&W featuring donations to the first responders for listings. What a disgrace using his day job to further his side business. Maybe that’s why the ads are only featuring the spouse solo lately. Little bit of a conflict of interest wouldn’t you say. Buy or list will me/us and kid and I’ll see what I can do.

Another Merit promotee who doesn't have the skill-set to lead. Vanna is an arrogant pretty-boy who has been taken care of his entire police career. The man is personable, low-key, and his daddy's kids (dad retired). Sort of a Chris Kennedy type, if you're following me. He has clout and has made every possible call to get promoted to commander to no avail. He has no interest in Captain. Unfortunately for him, some of his whack has either died or forced to retire in-lieu of demotion and/or prosecution. It's no secret he's absolutely pissed the Department has promoted a number of minorities over him. This SCC story is like a bad news story before an election. No worries Vanna, the Gold Oak Leaf Cluster will come soon. It's the Chicago Way; debts owed will always be paid. He will then do a short stint in patrol and then return to IAD until retirement.

However, word got out and a few days later a deputy showed up in roll call and actually apologized to us. This guy has long since passed and the rest of us are either retired or dead.

Not all of us are retired or dead, I was a young patrol officer at the rime I believe you’re speaking of. If we’re talking about the save incident, the LT was K.S., abd he was dating a sergeant on the watch K.H. who basically ran the watch as she pleased. If I recall Deputy J.M. Was the one they came and apologized for letting things get out of hand. That incident feels like ages ago.

Bobby’s daddy was friends with Phil Cline. But unfortunately, Phil doesn’t have the super steam he once had, so a kid of an old friend falls very low on the totem pole. Personally, I’ve had numerous “issues” with him over the 20 plus years of knowing him. Bob is an excellent asskiss when he needs to be, but if you can’t do something for him you’ll soon see his true colors.

He’s a guy that grew up in 008 and when the 1st marriage to the Orland Park girl didn’t work out he got divorced and moved to the west loop and eventually to the north side when he NEVER mentions he was once a south side guy.

His main focus is on the reality business his wife runs. Wanna get on his good side? List your house with her through him.

I’ve known Bob along time. Knew his father who was in the Marine Unit. Bob if your looking at this “what happened man”? Why do you give 2 shits. Your job is make sure every shows up in the morning and give the officers what they need so everyone goes home to their families. Period!! Come on Bob, you’re better than this.

Now about this LT. I don’t know the guy, and he sounds like a tool.
And while quotas and activity can’t and shouldn’t be the nexus for the pod treatment of his officers- I already hate when officer cry about something that is not guaranteed.
No, you don’t have a right to a management position. In fact, management positions are there for that exact purpose.
They pick someone to work a watch they don’t have seniority for, who in exchange tacitly agreed to bring in what’s requested.
If you are on management and don’t play their game, you aren’t holding up your end of the deal, and I don’t feel sorry if you get sent to the watch you have time to bid for. Sorry about situations, but seniority is a real thing unless you want to play the game.


And as shitty as it is- they can flop you from early car to late car every day- it’s within contractual agreements.
Is it a dick move? Absolutely. But it can certainly be done.

12/21/2020 12:50:00 AM

The above commentator nailed it. The lieutenant is allowed to do everything that he is alleged to claim he was going to do. Supervisors are allowed to manage your workday. They do not have to implement (or implicate) quotas. If your event history shows that your were available and idle for 4 hours (and stationary--the hole), then the supervisors have plenty of power to correct that and put you to work. The people who brag about hiding in the hole are going to ruin it for everyone.

As far as this specific incident, the best that you are going to get out of this is probably someone advising the lieutenant to be more professional and congenial about it and not frame the situation as a quota incident. So, the lieutenant will continue to do what he is doing but in a more professional and pleasant manner. You will get kicked off your car with a smile and friendly attitude. And there will be nothing that you will be able to do about it.

Not to mention we work for a mayor that hates us and have a states attorney that is playing for the other side, you as a supervisor are going to threaten all the coppers that are on your watch for more traffic stops or else. Your speech should have been something like: "I got your back, come to me with any issues and we'll try to make it right, If you need to take a day off I'll do what I can for you to get it, watch your back and go home every night, back each up out there, handle your jobs and whatever else you can do out there - I greatly appreciate it and you. Finally, stay out of jail, be smart and be safe." I wish I was at that roll call with you. You would have gotten an ear full.

Officers that were at that role call have a legal and moral duty to report this out of control lunatic. Its a felony, violation of federal consent decree to threaten officers like this and force them to extort money from the public like this. We are under consent decree because bosses like him forces officers to hammer public with tickets and arrest people to generate numbers. It damages our relationship with community to arrest and ticket citizens. We’re trying to build bridges in the community and not think of them in terms of stats and money made off them. Millions of our fellow Americans are not allowed to work and make money by our government and are still expected to pay there mortgage, car payment, electricity, phone bill, buy food for their families etc. This power monger expects his officers to hammer our fellow country men when they are losing jobs homes cars and trying to feed their family’s, report him immediately to inspector generals office and to federal monitors.

Wow.....there are so many many things wrong with your comment I don't know where to begin. Okay, I'll give it my best shot to shoot down all of your stupid points. Keep in mind, I have 20 years on the job so I am not one of the new breed of insensitive millenial cops which is probably the only thing you are right about.

The only way I'd take a merit promotion, which given my current rank would be Sgt, is if I was guaranteed to be assigned to one of the airports immediately after taking the merit spot, for the rest of my career. Since I don't like the taste of ass, that's never going to happen. Never bothered taking a promotional exam in my whole career so you are basically wrong.

It's the "Chicago Way so get over it?" More like the corrupt, retarded way and this city is crumbling thanks to outdated attitudes regarding promotions. If your buddy is on the same page as all of us, then why does he give a fuck so much where he has to attract attention to himself like an asshole. Better yet, since you're such good friends with him, why don't you give him a phone call and ask him why he hasn't retired yet for fucks sake?

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's greed. He wants that promotional bump for even more money. So no, he isn't on the same page as us. He should try to become a tactical Lt. That way he can go on search warrants and get a hard on in his pants over all the fun activity he can see unfold right in front of his eyes. Even more exciting then seeing it in the news!

Thanks for chiming in pops. The old chicago way of doing things is coming to an end. I hope my post doesn't hurt your feeling. Like your buddy, I'm a bit of a ball buster myself. The difference between me and him is that I always like to punch above my weight, and not pick on the cloutless grunts.

The Chinese will be like Germany. First, the seize the natural resources of Africa. Regain lands like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Nepal. Buy huge swaths of farm land in the US and dictate transglobalism. There will be no stopping them.

The world is watching this election. America has always been the beacon of hope. When this light goes out, it goes out for the world also. My only hope is that Democrats realize also what is going to take place. Every institute will be forcing upon their workers the equity/equality indoctrination. You will never have a say with the party line. The billionaires are going to tax us into the margins of society. It will be the uber-rich with a diminished middle class and a huge lower class.

Elections will become meaningless because people will have lost faith in the system.
The goal is to demoralize and intimidate conservative voters but eventually it will turn upon their democratic voters.

Eventually even the Trump haters will realize what a huge mistake they have made. We all will realize it soon. R.I.P. America 1776-2020.

I was talking to a Nigerian friend of mine who has only been in America a year and I asked him about the election. He said "America is becoming like Nigeria, we never have fair election, everything is rigged for the rich. This is why we left."

It took me back this statement. We are like everyone else in the world. Controlled by a handful of wealthy individuals who own all the outlets of the media and rule over us. It is sad to see the left bulldozer our country for a destructive ideology.

Once your assigned the watch it's yours....if they dump you without asking for volunteers and using reverse seniority, you get time and a half for each hour worked off your assigned watch. Please please dump me!!!!!

In the new stimulus bill, we just gave 700 million to Sudan and the people only get 600 dollars. WTF, Congress could care less about the people. Why are we giving 700M to Sudan for what? Is Biden brother building houses again like he did in Iraq? Is Hunter building low cost brothels? Crack dispensaries? If these fools sign this bill all I can say is F-U all of you, Democrats, Republicans, the whole freakin' swamp.

“Does he want to write the check right now for Hostile Workplace?”



This is exactly what needs to happen. The offending Bosshole needs to be hit PUNITIVELY.

Only once some of these cocksuckers start getting hit in THEIR pocket - as opposed to the city (AKA the taxpayers) footing the bill - will they slow their roll when it comes to issuing unlawful edicts.

So what now?...

Via this email, the officer notified superior officers of wrongdoing by Lt. Vanna. He even lamented the likelihood of being subjected to retaliation for airing this grievance (I’ve seen the entire email). Did any of the superior officers notified initiate disciplinary proceedings against Vanna?

Don’t let up now, officer. Insist a CR be initiated against Vanna. I guarantee someone gets assigned to do it now that it’s made the blog. I also guarantee that no one even entertains the thought of fucking with you now. In any event, be sure to thoroughly document any and all interactions with supervision moving forward.

I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see these assholes put on notice.

12/21/2020 01:21:00 AM


What the fuck are you talking about? Call COPA yourself and intimate the number. It’s that fucking simple.

Like it or not, the Lt can schedule you however the fuck he wants to. He may be a jag off and needs to work on his bed side a manner, but telling you that is not a violation of GO, you would have a hard time getting anyone in the department to initiate the number. You call COPA, like the shitheads do, they will get a number that will be investigated.

Will it go anywhere? NO. Will you get slammed every time you fuck up or dog it up at work? YUP. You do know that not taking action on a traffic violation is a rule violation? What about riding your job into lunch? Or sitting in one spot not patrolling? Or the countless other things you do every day that your get a pass on?

The email is also reads like it was written by 5 year old trying to sound like a 10 year old. This guy clearly has no clue what the fuck is going on and is just piecing together phrases he has heard in passing in between naps.

I'm that rare breed of dog copper. Most dogs hit a hole, dog jobs until a pissed off sgt tells them to clear, and act like lazy jagoffs with the citizens. Most of these dogs on the other hand would make sure to bring in their required VRI activity so they could line their pockets back when it was available.

I on the other hand, handled as many jobs as I could during a tour. Cleared as soon as I was done, (except for taking a job to lunch) and always acted professional and courteous so my c.r.s were nonexistent. I still act like half a company man because I can sleep well at night knowing that I did everything in my power not to bring in any blue cards, movers, parkers, ANOVs etc. I even told one miserable fuck I got stuck working with that he could wait until he worked with some other bust out copper when he needed vri activity. He talked a good game about how much he hated the brass but I pointed out to him that he was still bringing in the masters their numbers. What could he say? Nothing.

The best part was when my Lt. called me in to give me a fatherly counseling about my numbers. I told him to pull up all the dispatched radio jobs because he would find that I led the watch in that field which is the only thing I am required in writing to do. He just stared like a mongoloid because no one keeps track of the important stuff.

Then I got the old, "It's always been expected since I got on the job to write movers." "Okay boss," I said. "When I got on the job is was expected that we didnt have to wear body cams or deal with in car cameras." Then I left his office and at check off told the Sgt I was depressed and life was getting me down. Hit the medical the next day for 12 days and oddly enough, wasn't bothered again.

You guys do what you want but this job has turned into an embarrassment filled with idiots. If you work in 016, park on a decent residential street. Hell, park near a buddy's house at least. You don't need a hole to hide in there. If you work in 015 or 011, by all means,find the most secluded hole you can find behind a factory or some shit.

Can't wait until my last year of retirement. That's when it's no more Mr. Nice Guy and I will learn as quick as I can how fast it takes to get stripped for motherfucking a Deputy, a Commander, a Lt, Captain Inspector, or whomever else decides to go out of their way to annoy me.

Worked most of the 80's and into the 90's when the Deuce was the place to be. Best time I had on the job. "Whatt'a ya gonna do?; Send me to Deuce on midnights? We rotated then so , hey dude, I'm already here. "The bosses wouldn't fuck with you. New sergeants were a joke and we 2nd District veterans taught them quickly and taught them well. A couple of these new Sergeants didn't get it right away and had to be taught what the "deal was" regarding their poor attitudes, and were then adjusted accordingly. Enough said.

Ida B wells Homes, high rises on Pershing at Cottage, 4121 Prairie, 41st on Cottage and next street west, the Browning Homes. It was heaven. Come up on the midnight airtime, be asked if your Crayola was ready, and be handed a few jobs. Always a back log. "What else ya got squad?" Then take 15 jobs at one time and do them in the order you want and code them all at one time, 2 1/2 hours later. No GPS, no cameras, no nothing, just you in your rolling office. You knew where the Sergeants parked so just roll by and tip your hat for their log. Joe McCarthy, sweetheart of a guy. Not "star and bars", STARS and bar. Forty one years, the whole time, assigned to that three mile stretch of hell that no longer exists. 41 YEARS!
It was such an exciting time to be the police, in the Cities BEST classroom. Whatta a ride it was and so glad I jumped aboard.
Then was then and now is now. Now stay safe, happy, and wise, by being on FULL TILT FETAL, oh, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

How much of his side business is he doing on company time. Don’t cast stones Lt. But you past IAD ties will protect you. It’s the Chicago way. FYI, I’m recording your rant next time! Pull that again, I dare you!

***************
If he is successful then I guarantee to you he is doing his real estate business while at work. You can't be a successful Realtor without being available by email or phone call from 8 am thru 9 pm 7 days a week. Not possible. Even if the spouse helps out you have to all in. I'll bet he has his laptop out in his office or always on his cell phone.

I ran a business during my 20 years of CPD and I was doing double duty for 17 years of it taking calls at work, sending emails and doing loads of reports for my business all on CPD time. I went to all my calls. Worked a beat car and worked mostly 3rd watch and in 022 at the end.

And on that note you guys and gals who watch Netflix and play video games during downtime or are in a "do nothing unit" you are wasting time. Valuable time. If you're studying for a promotion then that's great but if not then do something.

Get a degree or start a business. It's not that hard. Nothing I did can't be duplicated by anyone else. I now earn over what the Superintendent earns and don't do much.

But do something productive with it and I don't mean traffic stops either.

I retired only as a PO but left at 20 years. Age 48 I was gone. Zero regrets. I know come here for the laughs.

I have known Bob Vanna for over 20 years. He is a good guy and the problem with people/ officers today is that they can't be told to do anything. Get over your egos and sense of self importance. This is a generation of a bunch of crybaby assholes who's feelings get hurt over everything. Also there is no work ethics anymore and brothers in blue is no longer. You can't even say goodmorning anymore without getting a dirty look or no response at all. Bob Vanna has a ball busting personality and that is what people don't understand. And for anyone who says they would not take a merit promotion on this job is full of shit. It has been the Chicago way forever, so get over it. Stop with this nonsense of trying to destroy peoples careers with hatred. Remember we all have the same goals, to just get through are careers as police officers and to retire. Ugliness and hatred only will slow you down and make your job much harder to get through. Stay focused on the end goal.

Not seeing a problem with that unless there's pressure for activity or consequences for no activity. Assigning traffic missions and having any activity reported to the Lt is completely fine. Try to actually have a valid complaint when whining on the blog. "Hello Lt, this is Officer Smith on 1133. No activity on the traffic mission." Done.
