Days Off Canceled Again

As expected and as usual. How many days warning is this?

New Years Eve....you know what time it is? 

Ghoul Pool!

X out three square at random.

Sell the other twenty-two for 10 toothpicks a piece.

Number twenty-two pieces of paper with District designators and choose at random from a hat.

Winner takes all upon the first homicide of the year.

non-cpd : are canceled days off determined by seniority or is the entire shift forced to work that day?

Everything you need to know about the "Social Security Fairness Act" per the NATIONAL FOP (just published last night) :

The citywide pool with individual beats was the big winner.

Expect more days off cancelled in the future.

The city of Chicago is on a hiring freeze. The CPD is exempt but they won't be hiring as much. At the same time though we can't even find enough recruits.

So a combination of cancelled days off leads to more frustration and even more officers quitting or retiring early. On top of that we will not get new recruits.

I wanted to stay for the full 29 years + one day. I am leaving once I hit 55 years old and have 23 years on the job.

I came on @ 23. I was jealous that I would not get to wear 2 stars.

CPD was going to be my life.

Lasted 20, then as they said back in the day "He Gone."

Expect more people hitting the medical. I will never work a RDO cancelled, in fact I haven't worked one since 2020. The department has had plenty of time to hire yet they want to cancel RDO and try and fill the sheets off of the backs of the current staff. Sorry not going to happen.

When the police department cancels days off the entire shift has to work that day. If I was scheduled to be off on Tuesday and Wednesday then I have to work one day or if CPD cancels both of my days off then I have to work both of my days.

It's still confusing. If you're already retired with this reduced benefits will you be grandfathered in?

You will have the hard chargers saying what are you new? Not new and back in the days they would ask for volunteers that wanted to make money in the district. Now you have all hands on deck, get your Day off cancelled but allow someone to take Comp Time. Your family doesn’t matter, your mental health even farther from the Department main concern. For the working police your faith is under commanders on who writes the best story and show plane tickets, and itinerary’s. You could have 2 years on and Trump a 29 year old veteran.

A fully staffed academy and they won’t hire ? Makes sense

Is the CPD being punished? Hiring freeze, no command changes, RDO’s canceled, what’s really going on? Who’s running things?

If you are collecting Social Security NOW, you will start getting the 100% amount entitled instead of only 40%.
It will be retroactive to January 2024. (However it will take possibly more than half a year or more to get everything together. )

My thoughts exactly, while working on my RDO last year. Most people are spending it indoors with family.

Get off this fucking job. Move, sell you house and have a life. Fuck everything here. People are very happy in other places. Don’t stay because of family or some other misguided reason. The suburbs are not the answer.

They can find enough recruits if they get rid of the DEI policies.

Respectfully I agree with most of your points, but Family is not a “misguided reason” in my life.
OT a bit. I had jobs about 10 years before (during) and after Cpd where I paid into SS.Due to a cola increase I’m going to get just over $800 a month. Certainly not enough to live on. I don’t understand some of the posters saying they get $5 a month unless they never had a job other than Cpd
Be safe and backup each other. We are all we have

Just for information purposes, CPD has "watches", not shifts.

Auburn Gresham at 12:01 01/01/25. Cause: celebratory gunfire but the victim is still just as dead.....

If someone is shot before midnight, but expires in the new year, or isn't found until after midnight because there was no Shot Spotter alert, how is that counted? Asking for a friend.

My guess would be that thee “act” ie shooting stabbing actually occurred on or after midnight. That’s how I’d run my pool . Some slob shot in June and they pull the plug at midnight…nah
