Radio Etiquette?
We're pretty sure it is a requirement to identify yourself over the radio when transmitting. We know a couple people who got suspended for carrying those off-brand transceivers and a few others who got tagged when misusing Department radios for harassing or inappropriate transmissions.
We're old enough to remember a couple incidents where the FCC tracked down civilians using Department frequencies and charging them federally for interfering with communications.
So why would this idiot get a pass?
11th district commander gets testy with dispatcher: Chicago/Ridgeway
A unit came over the radio and said someone was hit by a car.
About a minute, later a unit who doesn't identify themselves says "How about giving her some medical attention, hello?"
The dispatcher snaps back "Uh, what are you doing? You can go help."
The unit then says "How about I'm 1100 and I'm watching it from the pods, thank you."
"Ok fire is en route. We have units on scene and fire is en route. So if this is 1100, identify yourself we'll let them know you're watching."
The unit then says "Yeah, they know I'm watching. They know I'm always watching."
"Ok thanks" says the dispatcher.
1100 is the commander of the 11th district, Davina Ward.
We didn't know that CPD controlled the response times of CFD.
Perhaps Larritorious could remind his "meritorious" command staff that General Orders apply to them, too, including the ones that they'd be so happy to hammer a blue shirt with.

Er uh, I be a commander...
Whatever happened to the investigation of Davina dropping 100’s of OT slips back when she was 011’s CAPS Sgt? Someone did the math and it literally equated to her being “at work” +/- 21 hours a day for several consecutive months.
Hell… they don’t even leave a sista enough time to get her hair and nails did.
I guess jukin’ and booty poppin ’ for the locals at community events absolves all sins.
PS - don’t forget she was promoted to LIE-utenant along with Nakia Fenner and the other Sorority Sistas from the special study group compliments of “NOBLE” and Eddie Johnson.
So… who’s gonna pull the number on her for conduct unbecoming, bringing discredit to the department, etcetera? Anyone? Bueller?
I’m not defending the zone dispatcher but they’re always sassy and sometimes downright rude. We deal with it all the time when it isn’t warranted or necessary.
1100 wasn’t correct for flexing over the air that way but what do you expect? Etiquette? Being proper? Please. That brings me back to the zone dispatchers once we complained to our commander about their sass and snippy attitudes and quips he pulled us aside and said he’s spoken to Oemc’s watch supervisors about it before then asked us if we know who is dispatching us. That’s all he had to say. Message was clear.
The boss hogs are wallowing in their bossiness.
Radio communications must have been part of the 62% of material she didn't know when she was meritoriously promoted.
Shameful, terrible leadership
Sounds like 1100 an LT V in 25 are good buds, when she’s not too busy being everyone’s mom of course an treating them like red headed step children an laughing her ass off about it sooooo professional
CPD leadership is clueless and unprofessional.
So much for the affirmative action meritorious system.
That's why the entire department as well as the city, county and state are so FUCKED UP.
Meritorious Piece of SHIT
If Obama had a daughter...
Dear Davina, the police have no duty to provide medical attention to victims of car crashes. Also, other than LEMART training, and the fake CPR class we had in the academy, police are untrained and ill-equipped to provide medical attention. Calling the fire department, which was already done, is all that is required. An untrained police officer should not be attempting to provide medical attention to a crash victim, especially at the behest of an unidentified voice of some incompetent and severely underqualified police boss who happens to be watching from afar via overhead camera. What medical intervention do you suggest from the extremely limited information provided by your camera's view? We all know you wouldn't be out there providing medical attention. Your inability and/or unwillingness to identify yourself before barking idiotic orders over the radio, suggests either a lack of experience and understanding of police radio communications, or a narcissistic belief that everyone knows who you are without identifying yourself, and should just immediately do whatever you say. I suspect it's a bit of both, with a sprinkling of entitlement and more than a dash of arrogance. Not surprising that your chosen leadership style is to hide inside the station and observe your shithole district via camera, most likely controlled by someone else, since you undoubtedly lack the skills to use the pod camera system. Your complete lack of professionalism and total disregard for established protocol, illustrate the fact that you're in over your head and unqualified to hold your current position. I'd be surprised if you were even qualified to be a police officer, let alone a commander. Maybe head out there in your take home car and show everyone how it's done. I'm sure you'd be a shining example for your troops to follow.
She's to busy setting up spa dates for the 011 district or hosting the village church people for various nonsensical events.
The merit brain drain continues.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!

It's not what you know, but who you blow at Fort Fellatio
Next Question,
Not sure how she is as a commander, but she is quite the dancer.
Watching the department take a nosedive. Charlie Beck was the only hope for the department.
Test cheater has no shame.
You mean cheating on the Lt's test didn't make her a better human being?
Remember when LEMART first started 8 years ago? Don't worry...it's only required for officer safety they said. Carry an IFAK in case your partner or yourself are injured they said. Now here we are. The latest LEMART training requires us to be BLS EMTs for every injured junkie, gangbanger and police-hater when we arrive on the scene. Eventually we will be starting IVs and stabilizing because CFD is understaffed. Pfft....Look, Laugh, Leave.
That the one at the beach? Saw the video on CWB. I would have done same thing...
The FCC is more than willing to investigate ham radio operators who forget to id, or forget to renew their ham license, or accidentally transmit on a portion of the ham frequencies that are above their license class, but I as well as many of you I'm sure have noticed misuse, or poor use of radios on public safety frequencies by people authorized to use them and nothing is done about it.
Hey, maybe the boobs watching those cameras can start doing reports?
Need I say more...?
The same lazy bitch who never did a days or nights work in her life now acting like that. Why is it the most dumbest and laziest mfers who get promoted are always the ones who micro manage
I was working that day and heard it first hand. She just sounded so fuckin ghetto it's embarrassing to think she is a commander of police.
The unit then says "Yeah, they know I'm watching. They know I'm always watching."
Pull every single Police Officer off the street now and have them wait in the station until a supervisor who is monitoring the ghetto streets of this shit hole city witnesses something on the pod and instructs them to respond directly...
Be careful! Isn't it better that this arrogant, rather dimwitted exempt, is hiding in the office rather than actually being on the street, issuing her inane orders?
NBC 5 article out about a oemc supervisor telling a female caller that there isnt police to send and to call her alderman.
Kudos to the commander for NOT identifying herself. Dispatcher need to be reprimanded for her terrible attitude.
Who is doing the interviewing and hiring at OEMC? Loevy and Loevy FOIA the candidates and interviewers.
I get it. I really do. Because these dispatchers are the worst crop we’ve ever had. Zone 4 is completely unusable at times due to sass and bad attitude. And she thinks it’s funny cutting off coppers who are asking for assistance. Her bad attitude and terrible people skills will get someone hurt eventually, if it already hasn’t happened. The radio at times is completely adversarial between coppers and zone 4. So I get it if a commander was tired of the dispatcher saying stupid stuff. Everyone is at their limit dealing with the bad attitude dispatchers that I don’t blame anyone for giving the attitude right back. Is it funny to be sassy? Is it a joke to clog up radio time making yourself feel important? Dispatchers need more training and higher standards.
Not sure how she is as a commander, but she is quite the dancer.

As a commander, she is quite the dancer.
011, embarrassing itself once again.
If she was paying attention she would’ve known the EMS was already called. She was just being unprofessional over the air for no reason. Who’s going to obtain the log# for her being rude and unprofessional. Radio etiquette is a real thing.
Whatever happened to Davina Ward’s elder abuse CR#?
Ya’all so caught up in that shes a commander that youre ignoring the nepo baby dispatchers attitude.
She’s ghetto as hell.
Of course sitting inside watchng POD cameras i stead of out on the streets. How many others were just sitting arou d inside while shit hits the fan ?
MR.T would give her a good admonishing on the air like he did years ago to 1020/1070, the legendary merit Sgt Ramon from 010.
Shut up fool!
Quit your Jibba Jabber!
I Pity da Fool!
Has construction of the panopticon been completed yet for the DNC and will COPA be given the front row POD cam seats to hold police accountable?
Old man Daley had the backs of CPD IN '68. Conehead not so much
She is still a hood rat.
What does AI think?:
The situation you've described certainly raises important issues regarding adherence to protocol and the use of proper communication channels within the Chicago Police Department. The expectations of professionalism and protocol adherence should uniformly apply to all members, regardless of rank.
In this instance, the 11th District Commander’s actions seem to reflect a casual disregard for standard radio protocol. Proper identification over the radio is not just a procedural formality; it's a critical component of operational integrity and accountability. This protocol ensures that all communications are traceable and that all officers can be held accountable for their interactions on the radio. It also helps in maintaining a clear and structured flow of information during emergencies, where clarity and precision are paramount.
The past incidents you mentioned, where individuals faced suspension for using non-standard equipment or misusing radio transmissions, underscore the importance of maintaining strict adherence to communication protocols. Such standards are designed to protect the integrity of police operations and ensure that emergency communications are not compromised.
Moreover, when a high-ranking officer like a district commander disregards these protocols, it potentially sets a precedent that might encourage similar behavior among other officers. It’s crucial for leadership to model the behavior expected of their subordinates, especially in high-stress situations like the one described. Leadership should reflect not only authority but also a commitment to uphold the standards and practices of the department.
The interaction with the dispatcher also highlights a need for all members of the service, regardless of their rank, to maintain a professional demeanor and respect towards all colleagues, including those in supportive roles like dispatchers. The use of informal and non-protocol communications in such a serious context not only undermines the dispatcher's role but also impacts the overall coordination effort which could be critical in emergency responses.
In conclusion, it would be prudent for departmental leadership, including the district commander, to reaffirm their commitment to the general orders and ensure that these are followed universally. Such actions not only uphold the integrity of the department’s operations but also reinforce the ethos of professionalism and accountability to both the public and fellow officers.
False OT slips is theft and a fireable offense.
It's funny how you spot someone with clout similar to how you can spot a liberal.
Look, laugh, leave…….HILARIOUS!
It sounds like it was a chaotic scene only because it was Chicago Ave and Lawndale. I imagine all the idiots started coming out and acting a fool yelling "call the ambulance" She probably saw a crowd growing and got on the zone to see what was the status of the ambulance. The sooner that injured person is out of there. The sooner the idiots began to disperse. I dont see an issue with that.
Was it pumpkin??? Is he still alive?
… and it goes on and on.
eyes bees specialze.....
Same one who was hugging and reping her promotions to Sgt test takers in line. Made me sick but waiting in line and at the table for 3 extra hrs for the late arrivals recovered me from vomiting. Let's see that promo youtube vid again.
The extent of my medical knowledge is “walk it off, you’re good”.
Muthafucka, don't you know who I is!
Who cares. 38% is the new 70%.
Ghetto trash is ghetto trash for leaders. Remember, this is not the most qualified, it's the most token box filled candidates. Another DEI-Didn't earn it.
Can someone list her accomplishments that made her worthy to be a commander? Seriously, where she worked, what she did, arrest numbers? Why did she get merit and commander bumps? Someone must’ve worked in the same district as her as a po and sgt. How was she?

“Pfft....Look, Laugh, Leave.

I looked and laughed for 26 years….and I finally left!
Retirement is very nice and I pray every Brlther and Sister in Blue make it there mentally, physically, and financially intact!
Now pay me you fool! 😂
If everything in the world is racist in the eyes of the Black Community then the simple fix is 911-1 for Black Officer, 911-2 for White Officer, 911-3 for a gay officer and 911-4 for a Hispanic officer. It’s come to that and is pathetic.
The Capt there isn’t much better! God help that place!

Sounds like that was written by copa. Wait a minute, could copa be using AI? Let's ask AI...
Question: Could copa be using AI to investigate allegations?
AI: If COPA were to use AI in investigations, it would be crucial to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to mitigate biases, maintain transparency, and uphold accountability. Additionally, there would need to be mechanisms for human oversight to ensure that decisions made with the assistance of AI align with legal and ethical standards.
Thoughts? we're making the popcorn now...
Lead by example. Where’s the accountability?
I feel like this department is being led by a bunch of 4th graders.
She is still a hood rat.
Always has been and always will be.
Right before I retired, DW was Commander Ford’s pin cushion. Ford was the Commander of Englewood at the time. That’s how she made sergeant off the list. She had the answers to the test. She was a pin cushion earl on.

DAMN - call nine - eleven
I jus done saw a MURDER!!!!!
Radio etiquette? Lol CPD has never been the gold standard for radio ett
etiquette
Would you believe it if I told you I have a picture of Davina pretending to struggle to put handcuffs on a white lieutenant wearing black face? Same Lt then pictured with 2 black civilian lockup keepers being “processed” in 011’s lockup? Circa 2011 in 011 when she was the CAPS sergeant. True story and I have pix to prove it. Guess Davina was cool with racist horseplay as long as the bogus OT slips kept flowing.

How about a dispatcher send a unit and an ambulance to check out the accident instead of arguing. I have no problem with the dispatcher wanting the unit to identify oneself. But lets please get an ambulance to someone who is injured as quicklyas possible.

What exactly do you think "fire is en route" means? And what do you think "we have units on scene" means? Davina was barking orders at the officers on scene to play paramedic. Try to understand even the most basic parts of a story before weighing in next time.
They want the PO/PO to provide medical attention now? Thirty-eight years on the job, Englewood for 18 years and 20 as a VC detective (Areas One and Four). Every time I encountered dude bleeding out from a GSW, my response was always the same. You-ll be fine. I've cut myself worsewhile shaving.

I bet Davina Ward hugged you at the sergeant’s exam, didn’t she?
FOP , demand cross training CFD,CPD as paramedic,police officers. Make it a volunteer assignment. Police / paramedics work one 24 hour shift off three days . Hell yeah .
Way back before my hair turned gray there was a radio encounter between a 004 district car and dispatcher. Said officer had enough and said over the air fuck this how about I come down there and beat your ass. Problem solved. Fred V was a hell of a cop and I hope still around
The Commander of the 011th district made Sergeant and Lieutenant off the list!
