Giving Away the Money

Something like this might make us want to quit:

  • 2 units from 1st watch were in the hospital all night on prison detail, for an outside unit. 1st watch Sgt. asked 2nd watch Lt if they could send one 10-4 car from days to relieve them both and got yelled at because she asked. 
    Then 299 (Williams #709) gets the message to the zone that 2nd watch will not be giving relief to 1st watch in the hospital. Officers from 1st watch never got relief and were told they have to sit until the arrestees are released. 3rd watch officers came in early for traffic mission OT and offered to go to hospital but were initially told no. An hour and a half later they were finally allowed to go give 1st watch relief.

Remember when, in an effort to cut overtime, there was an effort to have oncoming watches in the Detective Division pass along in-progress cases to oncoming watches? Never mind that it destroyed continuity, broke up the rapport detective had built with victims, witnesses and even offenders, rendering countless cases un-prosecutable. That worked wonders for Clearance Rates across the board.

Now, you have dickhead lieutenants screwing over people who are already working midnights, sitting at hospitals at time-and-one-half, doing pretty much nothing FOR AN OUTSIDE UNIT and adding undue stress to their family lives for what - to prove you have a bigger dick than Groot?

Score one for you Lt.

HW yelling at sergeants? Never. Another white shirt with 2 merit bumps under his belt. He was a merit sgt working at hq, got another merit bump to Lt and went back to hq. How he end up in 002?

Being forced to take your prisoner to the hospital for their medications that they haven’t taken in months sure does inspire me to run out there and lock up more prisoners! Let alone when you get saddled with someone else’s prisoner. Getting someone into the lockup sure has turned into a near impossible feat.

Outside unit needs to handle their prisoner guard detail. Please don’t dump it on the district.


Ya wanted to be in a unit, suck it up.

I’ll bet the unit had beards and backward baseball caps.

So if you had 2 officers guarding a prisoner was the prisoner high risk? I remember one man details. In any case leaving officers from the 1st watch who are dead tired is a safety risk. Plenty of other options.

Only way to get even is to utilize the medical. That’s all blue shirts have left. Bosses can keep their early ducks. Don’t bring in any activity you’re being used!

Fuck that punkass Lt. Williams. No doubt (s)he was never the police and likely a merit hack or product of a secret study group.

That said, it would behoove the officers who got stuck on that prisoner detail to hit the medical for a few days on top of checking the money box.

There’s more than one way to skin a pussy Lieutenant. You kids need to think outside the box and always win in the end. It really ain’t that hard, you just can’t allow these assholes to keep walking all over you. Most are cowards who will fold like a cheap suit at the first bit of resistance. Even those bossholes with minimal smarts will back off when they’re told “excuse me sir (ma’am), but you’re creating a hostile work environment. If you continue you’ll leave me no choice but to document this interaction and seek appropriate recourse”. Solidify this warning by ensuring you have a witness with you willing to drop corroborating paper.

Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

You’re welcome.

Even if no boss acts like a jerk there are plenty of inconsiderate coppers who do which is ridiculous. It's funny how they say the department is a brotherhood, at least for me it never was. There are so many self-centered people on this job and don't give a damn for other officers. I've seen it too many times in 23 years. In their mind is all about me,me,me, and no one else.

Not only that, but it was also ran by individuals who actually spent some time in the ranks, and actually learning their jobs as they progressed, rather than these merited clowns who have skyrocketed to the top.

I used to work outside units and it always amazed me how districts hated us. They felt like only they mattered and forgot that we too are Chicago police. We came to their rescue countless times for 10-1s and backed them up when needed. We also used to clean up after ourselves though and sit on our own prisoners. The only thing I can think of here is the prisoner needed a hospital run after outside unit left which is now district's responsibility. My point is don't forget you're all on the same team. Don't let the mayor and bosses drive a wedge

I'd say the solution to that is for Midnights to stop sending the Prisoners for medical clearances, and let days deal with it when they get in. If they get rejected from court then not only will days have to take the Prisoner to the hospital, but they'll have to go through the effort of obtaining a Duty Judge much if th time. It won't be long before days will be more appreciative and cooperative... just sayin
