Who's Got the Numbers?

Last year, it was reported that beat cops were down nearly 20% under Groot:

  • Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s recent campaign ad claims “she’s put more police on the streets.” But the city’s own data shows that claim is simply not true. The number of beat cops has declined. 

    Sworn police officers assigned to the city’s 22 police districts for regular patrol duties are down 19 percent since Lightfoot took office in April of 2019. That’s according to updated February 2023 data from the city’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) dashboard on sworn police officer allocation by unit.

The numbers and graphs are there. Part of it was hiding more people in Units or HQ or the Academy. That hasn't improved much, though there are rumors of hiring retirees to man Academy spots and background investigations for Personnel to free up sworn officers for street duty.

But we're still hearing that beginning 15/16 May and continuing up until 15/16 August, nearly 1,000 officers of all ranks are retiring. That doesn't count resignations, firings or lateral moves, which an educated guess would account for another 100-to-who-knows how many on top of that thousand.

Our usual spies at Personnel left during The Hiatus, but someone has to have accurate numbers.

1000 leaving this summer? Not enough. That number should be 10,000. The citizens mostly hate the police and the politicians DEFINITELY hate the police. The ultimate revenge against these people would be a mass resignation, all at once, just as the summer rioting season kicks off. A real Eric Cartman "screw you guys, I'm going home" moment. That sound you just heard was BJs jaw hitting the floor. It would be glorious and would definitely give Chicago the chaos it wanted, that it voted for and that it insisted upon.

Inside officers will never go back to street duties. Time and time again those in the past that were dumped to the street all find a way real fast to end up back inside somewhere. I have zero confidence any attempt to get more officers back on the street will be a success.

Listening to the transmission involving the tragic death of Police Officer Huesca made me sick to my stomach. Never have I heard such an indifferent, careless, and lazy effort by an officer over the radio to transmit such an important event. This officer is sorry and an embarrassment to all of us who wear this uniform on a daily basis.

Secondly, to anyone whom is capitalizing on this tragic event by making shirts for sell and not giving 100% of proceeds to the family, FUCK YOU!

Simple answer is leaving at 50 with 70% is better then waiting around till 55 hoping that the insurance will still be there or the city does what the city does and makes it 58. Also having a spouse who’s insurance you can jump on is key, by all means if you have to wait. Some of us are lucky enough to make the jump at 50 and can’t freaking wait!

The problem of manpower is in the districts themselves. Hiding people and created spots. Some districts with 4 DIOs, business liaisons, abandoned building officers, 6 POs and a Sgt in the commanders office and the biggest waste is the DCO teams. DCO teams need to go. 15-20 officers who don’t work the street and do absolutely nothing. There is your biggest drain. 18 DCOs, give back 2 DIOs, take 3 from the commanders, 1 abandoned building officer and right there you have 24 fresh officers already in the districts that can man beat cars. We all know there are MANY others in districts I didn’t even mention yet who have spots. I don’t even mention the bloated caps offices and SDSC rooms along with affinity officers and made up foot posts that are not needed in 2024. The only place that should have foot posts in this city is downtown. Not 002, not 007, not 006 and not 011. Put them in beat cars. With all those others I just mention u could trim some more fat and easily get another 6 bodies or in come districts even more. The waste is in the districts themselves.

So much nonsense in this comment. With one mildly accurate sentence.

The politicals do not authentically hate anything, only either fear some things and/or are frustrated by this funny thing called reality that impedes their nonsense tomfooleries.

The populace, both citizens, non citizens and those passing through, do not mostly hate the police, (maybe the politicians are despised), but also are, amongst those truly just living their lives, minding their own business and substantially to thoroughly honest in doing so, experiencing what is most common relevant to police, the old and true adage: the only contact with police is either because you are a victim of crime, and police presence is welcome, or a practicer of criminal activities, and police presence is unwelcome.


As for the remainder of your nonsense, well, amazing that you could manage to pause stuffing your pie hole with chicken tendies for long enough to tap out, with those greasy fingers, that many letters, forming words, strung into sentences, and saying nonsense most moist.

I don't give a shit about these fools dying on the street corners, I give a bigger shit less if these libtards and idiot wokes die from the violent crime. I care about my partner and the people I work with not going to jail/dying/being a cripple/being doxed. Other than that, this is the jungle and the city the citizens wanted during the election cycle. They thought crime was not "PRELEVANT" to take serious. This is what our country has become, a bunch of fucking emotional basketcase pussies with their lesbian dance theory PHD's who don't know their ass from an asshole at the top and trickling it down, when it comes down to making important decisions.
I don't care about no manpower, a shortage or no one signing up to take this job. If you're smart, you'll realize nothing will protect you from all the non-sense thrown at you other than not doing dick or just playing by the rules to the T on YOUR time and YOUR pace. Stop being proactive and go enjoy your life outside of work. More importantly hangout with your family and friends, this job is just a paycheck and nothing more.

And then his son died in an unfortunate accident. Then the boss he worked for pretty much forced him inside for his last few years. So when you paint everyone with the same brush it kinda hits some of us that know how things are really. Yep, there are some that don't deserve it, but be mindful that not all insiders are some body's bitch. Some actually deserve the spot.

100 Recruits started Academy in May.
100 more expected to start in June.

My man living in the future. Anyways, this don’t mean shit, they are useless until they hit 18 months, they have to be with a PO and if the watch is short, they get put inside somewhere.

Simple answer is leaving at 50 with 70% is better then waiting around till 55 hoping that the insurance will still be there or the city does what the city does and makes it 58. Also having a spouse who’s insurance you can jump on is key, by all means if you have to wait. Some of us are lucky enough to make the jump at 50 and can’t freaking wait! I hate the job more then anything.

not so simple said,
you do realize if you cant go on the old ladys insurance you will have to WORK TILL 65!
or if something god forbid happens to the old lady you are FUCKED! paying full price will take half your pension. if you leave at 50 YOU have to bridge the gap to 65-Medicare. think before u pull that pin. thats 15years you have to 180 months at $2000 a month 360k out of pocket

OT This is an interesting take-a-way from the Trump trial. It appears that Rahm Emanuel had a problematic story about him killed at the urging of his Hollywood agent brother before his run for mayor.

Based on the campaign folks she has been meeting with, it appears she is going to make a run for the Mayors office. She and Soros are behind the guy who is spearheading the mayoral recall petitions.

The city could always "pull the pin" on the 55-and-out or simply stop allowing people to use it in breach of contract. I mean look at the FLSA lawsuit going back to as early as 2006. Remember the issues with retiree healthcare when Rham just took it away and the retiree's were not eligible for medicare? Yeah, they usually do what is only best for them when they want to. So 55-and-out might not be around when your 55 or moved to 59, or might just not be honored. The grievance would be held and enforce then require court enforcement in a few years. You end up working the years anyways even though you "won" in court. The 55-and-out was too good to be true now anyways, thoughts? I you enough to get another job and heard the pension is done in five years anyways.

The tier two pension people are screwed. They have to work till they drop dead. Imagine working here for 39- or 40-years.

Thoughts?

U guys gotta do a post about the 3 day FFO training, it is brutal torture. I imagine this is what jail for 3 days would feel like.

4/25/2024 12:09:00 AM

3 days of mostly sitting in a classroom and then playing fake riot police is brutal torture? You're one of those people who says "I'm literally dying" when it's 80 degrees, aren't you? This is the problem with today's snowflake police. Maybe mommy can pack you a PB&J and a juice box for your 3 days of brutal torture.

4/25/2024 10:35:00 AM

Three days worth of salary to sit and watch a powerpoint and move in formation. You are soft. I am sure jail is nothing like that. You are a disappointment.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s recent campaign ad claims “she’s put more police on the streets.” But the city’s own data shows that claim is simply not true. The number of beat cops has declined.”

Of course.

Politicians lie.

Communists lie.

Little is both in my opinion!

I dropped off my star & shield Monday 15 Apr. I was in and out in less than 30mins. They seemed to going alphabetically, from what i saw on the sign-in sheets. They were on the letter B; and I saw about 10-12 officers while I was there. 24 + years. Love my brothers and sisters, but I'm more than thrilled to wash this shit Dept off me, and no longer work for mayors who want my pension, and want me in jail. CPD and City Hall, G F Y

Make your plans and get the fuck out.
Thanks SCC for so many yrs of info and entertainment.”

I retired 15 APR also. There were 22 total. 1 other PO resigned for a department in Texas.

The old man collecting the star, shield and ID said June was going to be a large group of retirements.

Should be easy to run the department computer and get the actual number of personnel listed by rank. Also don’t see a reason the pension board wouldn’t give you the actual numbers of sworn officers that have turned in the paper. Retirements aren’t done in a day. Summer is almost here. That would stop all the rumors

Pretty pathetic- in 1995 (the year many will be maxed this year), the academy had on average 150 going thru every single month from January to at least October.

The above post is 100 percent true. I am a full blooded republican, but remember everyone who got hired back then got hired because of Clinton putting money to hire more police officers. So, even back then democrats liked the Police. It is terrible what happened to that party, they became so leftist.

The SHIT convention is scheduled to be held Monday 19 August through Thursday 22 August.

Hit the medical by the prior weekend and make and appointment with your doctor, immediate care, emergency room to get a note to return to work.

This shit is going to be BAD.
.............................................

Totally different attitude than NATO, the majority wanted to return from the medical so as not to leave our brothers and sisters who were already short handed. You really are The Change.

The point is for EVERYONE to tell the Communist Democrat politicians to FUCK OFF.

Let Fat-Ass JB Pritzker, BLM Brandon and the rest of the Marxist BASTARDS protect the city. THEY absolutely DESPISE US!

I’ve been reading your blog for some time now, the thing that kills me is the posts about keep voting democrat and stop voting democrat. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that 98.9% of the people who read the blog are on the same page. Righteous blue collar people who want to be left alone and vote for the police. We know not to vote for them. This isn’t the platform to be telling people that, maybe try Facebook, instagram, twitter, or whatever else you fancy.

You do realize that once you have become addicted to depending upon others, those others who require you to be insured before you receive much of any of their services, that they now own you.

How about not having 'health' insurance?

How about considering that your health cannot be ensured by anyone other than:

You.

The Fucking Fickle Finger of Fate

Aka, Your Destiny.

Your Destiny substantially determined by Your Choices.

Choosing To Do and Choosing To Not Do.

Every Body is gonna die. Just a prime question of when.

With possibly potentially practical questions of what, where, how and, relevant to Your choices, why.

Have you not yet figured out that are designed and created to continue to function while being subjected to conditions that can cause them to cease to function?

And that there is no insuring that anyone other than You can choose to do or to not do something to assist the continued functioning of your body better than You?

The decline in the qualities of 'health' professionals began with the inherent contradiction between their getting paid in full vs the results of their services being worth less than nothing.
