Manpower Crisis Intensifies

How shorthanded are the "low crime" Districts?

This short:


This is all over social media, so don't be blaming us for noticing.

This isn't only a service issue to a District that pays quite a bit in taxes and receives little in the way of police presence. It's a safety issue that FOP ought to be addressing along with whatever aldercreatures represent the various neighborhoods up north.

Imagine it's August, the DNC is in full swing, and some ne'er-do-wells from panty-fa decide to do a march in front of 016 because they're assholes. Fifty or eighty show up and discover that there's a single officer working the desk. 

What now? 

We're thinking of the 3rd Precinct in Minneapolis in 2020:

That's 2023 and we aren't sure if it's still there or they finally tore it down.

Same with CFD on the northwest side and in the outskirt (tax paying) neighborhoods we all live in. Same crap. The ALS trucks and engines are downgraded to BLS and the ambos are not in their respective areas. They’re pulled to the assist the usual suspects with all of their dysfunctional issues.

016 area doesn’t have police or EMS protection. Call your alderman and demand answers. Don’t hold your breath for resolution, tho. The city sees no value and has no regard for the law abiding tax paying citizen. None.

Stop bitching about the manpower in 016 … it’s been an issue for years now and nothing has changed and nothing will change. Until there is a major incident and I mean major nothing will be done about how understaffed that district is. I’m sure that sign has been already removed and I’m sure it has been addressed to not put anything regarding how short they are to the public again !
No one cares ! Let see how they react to a ton of off duty shootings where the offenders have no business that far north. Once the bodies start piling up then it will be an issue

Lived in 016 for 25 years. Its not just manpower, its also about lazy pieces of shit who don't want to do any work whatsoever. Called them 3 times in 25 years, spent more time listening to them trying to get out of doing any work, that is after waiting over an hour for them to get there. What they don't get is, despite their complaints of being busy. Usm g/016 tells a different story. So forgive me when I don't feel sympathy for these lazy mother fuckers.

That police precinct in Minneapolis burned because the Mayor and the Chief of police ALLOWED it to happen. In fact, they were part of instigating it, going so far as to order the entire staff to be present until (I think) 10:00 PM at which point they received an order to EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY! The police got out of the back door just as the Panty-fa mob went crashing through the front door. They wanted the optics of the mob moving in and the cops running like scared rats. Some of the police barely got out of there alive. But the mayor and the police chief were in on it. Absolutely disgusting.

As it has been stated many times before, this city is not prepared for a DNC. Many supervisors and officers will retire before August and I don’t blame them. Get out of here! I’m seeing more and more “cake and coffee messages” than ever before. It’s quite interesting that Snelling wants officers to “hold the line” during the DNC mayhem, yet he helped stripped officers that held the line against Groot who demanded that they get the COVID-19 vax injection. So basically, officers can’t stand up for themselves, but they’re expected to stand up for this corrupt city.

And it won't get any better either. Sadly, some of the problem folks leave and go on to ruin other communities. And people put up with it all. With all the victim-hood and talk of racism you would think this was 1964 not 2024. The BLM riots were disgraceful. This country is fucked beyond repair. Things have been on a downward trajectory for decades. Now we are no better than a third world nation in many respects. If you had the means and will to move to another country where would you even go. New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Europe? All fucked except Hungary.

Per Minneapolis 3rd district station:

The development of the project comes nearly four years after the original precinct was destroyed during riots following George Floyd's murder.

Show us the A&A sheets...

If true...that person working took the time to create and put up a sign, in the time that he/she could have been providing police service. Which is what they are paid to do.

I always hated people who put up useless little signs in the districts and offices. Whenever I had desk duty, I tore them down inconspicuously. I was once on desk duty for an entire period, and when I started there were numerous dusty boxes of paper piled up behind the desk. Logs, bulletins, etc...

I made friends with the custodian, and had him take them to the dumpster. About 5-6 boxes a day for about 2 weeks. I never said a word about it to anyone, and no one noticed for almost a month. Someone mentioned how nice the desk looked, and I just smiled. I was asked if I wanted to continue working at the desk for another period, and I requested that that honor be shared with the rest of the watch. The boxes began to accumulate shortly thereafter.

If that 016 sign was true, did that person get watch commanders pay for a day? Why couldn't the DC come in and work a tour as WC?

I'm calling BS on that picture, until I know more.

Remember that on "Jan 06" extra officers were requested and the OT was denied. The national guard was requested and not provided. Somebody had a plan.

The perfect storm..??? Be careful out there officers. I'm not saying there are any conspiracies afoot out there. But look and listen for oddities and irregularities in the coming weeks. Manpower, preparation, equipment allocation, etc...and post them here.

It might not just be complete CPD jack-assery and incompetence that leads to a woefully inadequate response to the DNC.

The lazy, fat and useless officer who posted this (R.H) has been nothing but a problem on the desk. Unfortunately, despite his supervisor’s best efforts, his district desk bid is untouchable. So this is the end result of his pathetic existence as a police officer. The supervisors working had no idea he put this stupidity up, as it was concealed within the revolving door, which nobody but citizens use. He did this solely to decrease his workload, as is his natural instinct.

Oh well, nothing will happen to his sorry ass, but the supervisors who are stuck babysitting him will undoubtedly pay for his idiocy. Gotta love CPD. There should be no district desk bid positions. Nothing worse than having someone like R.H. On the desk and there is nothing you can do about it.

I’ve been saying this for years. No reason to be open all night. There’s nothing pressing that needs a report at the desk overnight. These stations are very dangerous. The most unsafe facilities in Chicago. I don’t know of any suburbs that are open after 5:00pm. And most are closed all weekend.

The day to day job of an officer on the watch is survival - both in the literal sense, and surviving the cutthroat nature of everyone evading calls. You have no choice but to adapt to the dog asses or get overwhelmed. This inside do nothing was probably being swamped with beat officers directing calls inside. It happens all the time, in every district, but especially with accidents pd only in the 16th district. So this officer adapted to the situation and pushed everything he could onto another district. It has been an art form the last five years or so.

Callback has about 300+ PO's sitting there as a fully pre-covid/defund the police station.

Larry Small Biceps won't do dick because he is the cuck of the department playing as the lap dog of Beijing Brandon because he doesn't give a fuck other than fucking easy female recruits and easy female rookie coppers in his position. That's why you have to reiterate to the citizens, the citywide/statewide/national wide police shortage and allocation of police manpower is not in my say/realm but up to the commanders, exempts, city hall and the mayor. People don't get it. The same trash who fights you complains to you about this, any reasonable citizen would get the hint this state from the top trickling down is anti-police and anti-citizen.

Worked in 016 in the 70s, hated it too many people who did not want to work or did not know how to work. Left there and found out there were better places to work on the job. Lived in 016 for years and like the above commenter said I encountered over the years POs who did not want to do anything. What really got me when they tried to snow you, forgetting the t
person they are talking to is also the police. Of course there are people like this all over the department. Crime is all around now in 016. Of course maybe it’s too late to expect police service as the left wing Democrats are turning the city over to the criminals and illegal aliens

It doesn’t matter if 016 is short staffed or not majority of the officers there don’t want to work and can care less that a great deal of us live there. Morale and camaraderie is the worst I ever seen. The supervisors and leadership were the absolute worst and contributed to a hostile work environment. They never were the police. Full of story tellers with no complimentary history. Favoritism was based on ass kissing, race and gender versus work ethic. Truly a terrible place to work. The day I left was the best day of my career.

Here is something else PLET Professional law enforcement training had the contract for teaching the young and old coppers. Many had so much street experience, but then Larry came in and the academy kids working inside Larrys little posse decided they wanted the contract coppers gone and wanted the other children inside to hide err help them train. The kids have no experience none of them that his best story was how he was the dui guy who other coppers called to take over their stops. Ok larry your move!

6/17/2024 01:48:00 PM

Um....PLET is run by a buddy of ex Sup Brown. They were shoved by Brown onto the Det Div to do training even though they had no experience in Chicago, Cook Co, or Illinois dealing with the insane politicians and States Attorneys. They were given a contract over more qualified companies and over the protests of high ranking supervisors in the Det Div. I'm not sticking up for Superintendent Given not earned but PLET was a mistake.

UPDATE: on signage posted at 16 as noted above.

Today I went to 16 looking for the sign. It's gone. I went inside to see the Desk Officer to asked about the sign, the need/purpose for it and how bad are the personnel shortages. I was greeted by a quizzical expression and not sure as to what I was talking about. A second desk officer heard the conversation and directed me to the "white shirt" at the other end of the desk.

I asked the "white shirt" (Sgt) the same inquiry. He told me to contact Public Affairs for a statement. I advised him that I did not want a statement from public affairs but rather where to I go if I need some type of non-emergency services, e.g., lost car keys (16, 17 or 25); or if needed, an emergency response (911) to my home. Which district will respond. He looked at me in a disinterested manner. I thanked him with a smile as he has answered my inquiry as expected. Nobody knows nuttin. It's the Chicago Way - its Brandon's Way. Keep voting for Democrats.

A neighbor was telling me he flagged down a 016 car & a F/1 was the PO , told her that guy right there just stole a pkg that was left on neighbors front porch …….. this PO said ok, hang here & I’ll go scoop him up . That PO made a u-turn & took off in the opposite direction!!!!! That’s 016 for you

6/17/2024 02:46:00 PM

OK, so what is the officer supposed to do? Stop the offender, and then wait for the neighbor to come out and sign complaints? No it doesn’t work like that. Have the victim call to verify the package was stolen, then something could be done

Hey, it's hard to staff 016 when the city has to pay for reparations committees, not to mention actual reparations if and when they are approved. Funding cuts to other areas of the city (the less "diverse" areas) will be next when that happens.

Lived in 016 for 25 years. Its not just manpower, its also about lazy pieces of shit who don't want to do any work whatsoever. Called them 3 times in 25 years, spent more time listening to them trying to get out of doing any work, that is after waiting over an hour for them to get there. What they don't get is, despite their complaints of being busy. Usm g/016 tells a different story. So forgive me when I don't feel sympathy for these lazy mother fuckers.

Truer words have never been spoken. I've done police work in every district in the city. 016 was hands down the worst. Not just the POs either. The supervisors are just as bad if not worse. I've never heard a positive word about the 016th District in almost 30 years of Law Enforcement.

Rh is old and frail.
Rh is very funny and a great de-escekator.
Rh writes great short reports.
Rh needs to stay off medical.
The sign said nothing wrong. If he said the same thing he said nothing wrong.

What,if he didn’t say or write anything. People would be waiting for 2 hours and then complain that no one warned the.

Rh should be assigned to callback for 1 week while it’s investigated and then put back 016 after finding of exonerated.

Rh would learn to never do that again and not be harmed.

To the guy at 2:46 who thinks it’s proper to ignore a citizen who just saw someone take a package that may not belong to them.
Police 101
Stop the subject and explain a concerned neighbor did not recognize you from the neighborhood and you took a package.
Maybe he’s a friend, relative all legit
Even if he stutters and stammers do a , what we called contact card, whatever you call it , to at least identify the person, car facts of stop.
The leave info on guys porch and if he files a report you have a starting place.

SCC, sorry this is off topic but can we push the following true narrative:

Preventable medical errors account for appx 400,000 deaths nationally
https://wilsonlaw.com/blog/400000-patients-die-from-medical-malpractice-each-year/#:~:text=An%20article%20by%20John%20T,as%20400%2C000%20deaths%20per%20year.

The average death by police shooting is ~1,000
https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/

How the fuck do we get such a bad rap? Don’t get me wrong, I love medical personnel and doctors, but we know whenever an officer discharges a firearm and someone dies but how do we know 400k from medical malpractice can be higher. Why can’t we can’t we talk about that? Kinda insane to me

A long time ago, when TARA was up and we could work OT in short districts, I went to 008. I was partnered up with another visiting officer working 3rd watch. Out of the box we had 2 simple jobs on the west end of the district. We went, talked to the people, and solved the issues. The people seemed happy and grateful for our help. On the 3rd job it was a neighbor dispute that was a little more involved, but as we were working thru it, I'll never forget this, one of the parties said "you're not from here, are you?" I said we were from another district, but how could you tell? He tells us that the police in that area never get out of their cars to handle their jobs. It was the same thing we heard ALL night. We got a job at a church that an 008 car blew off and the commander had dispatch send us. There are 2 different Chicago Police Departments. The one you you hope is coming when you call and the one you get.

Officers fought so hard to avoid callback, but now since the BIA has failed and left them there for so long after they’ve been cleared- they’ve become used to the unit. Most are threatening to retire if they have to return to full duty.

I'm no detective, but if a random guy is observed walking down the street with a package that he was observed taking from an address down the street, with someone else's name on it, there's probably grounds for a bit of an investigation. We would call the totality of the circumstances in this situation "reasonable articulable suspicion" to justify a stop and further investigation. If he proves it's his package or that he has a legitimate reason to be taking it for a walk, he'll be free to go. If not, it's the easiest thing in the world to find the victim. Packages have names and addresses on them. Are you really this stupid or just trying to justify laziness and bad police work?

This is the new century, bubba, where cheapskates who order from internet retailers choose the cheapest cost on delivery of the goods they purchased.

Every internet retailer offers a dekivery on signed for shipments only, at a higher cost for same.

No signed for, no delivery.

Choosing delivery that can be made by placing purchases upon your stoop, is stooooooopid.
