241 Graduates
Well, not really. Because 75% of those PPO's have already been in the districts for a few months:
- Several promotions were also celebrated Monday: one deputy chief, one captain, 17 lieutenants, 80 sergeants, 18 field training officers and 80 detectives.
The 80 sergeants, 18 FTO's and 80 detectives all came from the rank of.....Patrolman! Meaning the 241 graduates suddenly becomes a net gain of 63, less than 3 PPO's per District on average - just under one-per-watch.
Things are looking up!
Meanwhile the exit door has been spinning steadily. We're told that this summer will be the biggest exodus of Officers in two decades. If something better comes along (suburban or out-of-state, federal or fire department jobs) we're going to lose even more. Twelve hour days are a real possibility moving forward along with personnel cuts - not at HQ though. No no no....they're going to cut the "quiet" Districts like 016, 017, 020, 022, 024 even more and to Hell with the aldercreatures and their constituents who protest..

I’m sorry but former union leaders like Fred Flintstone Donahue and Dino Dumbass didn’t want a 10hour day it was 6-2 or 4-2 ridiculous 5th Dist can’t sustain a watch without the 10hour day while some moronic street deputy runs around checking pants and beards WTF has this department become JFR
How about getting big daddy Spiro out of 050 ! He should be due for another bite off that merit tree. What’s the matter aren’t the Greeks making enough noise?? All this idiot is concerned about is who’s parking in 050 lot. Having Sgts running around checking parking placards in our own house. Several Sgts haven’t had their placards visible. But he’s obsessed with jamming up the troops that work there. This unit has gotten so bad it’s pathetic. And for the ones that understand it’s nothing like it used to be. We keep getting horrible commanders. Spiro is so arrogant no one can stand being in the same room with him.
“We're told that this summer will be the biggest exodus of Officers in two decades.”
Hearing the same. Just between 15 May and 15June, somewhere around 325-350 is what a little birdie mentioned. Time will tell.
Overtime needs to be pensionable.
The Chicago Police Department is in the spin zone! Blame the idiot voters and the Chicago Public Schools for the dumbing down society. Chicago is a dying city. Good luck to any of the PPO’s with getting a pension. Be wear of pension reform. That is code for taking your money.
In about ten years the city will have the Police Force they wanted. Good luck living here.
The district I work in is so full days is 10-4.
Not to mention this is the worst batch of ppos we have ever gotten and it will only get worse. It isn’t just the standards are lower, the instructors at the academy have never been of lower quality. The FTO system has never been worse.
Anything is better than the old 6 days on and 2 days off schedule.
024 quiet….
They really know how to spin, don't they?
12 hour days has always been the goal.
"Let the cash register ring" ching ching mfn ching!
