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!
Quiet districts?
Where? 016 has seen a rise in crime due to its staffing shortages. Take more officers away and really see how bad it will get.
Looking back, that was a brutal, exhausting work week
Who's gonna work the street?
Do they still let them cheat on the tests in the academy ?
It looks like Overtime is STILL pensionable with the NYPD.

I left for the burbs but if I decide to go back to Cpd, these low numbers should allow for an easy return.
And how many of the 63 will be insiders?
Just run a query in the system for how many officers actually work in patrol.
"We are just going to have to learn to do more, with less..." Now stop whining, and BTW...your days off this weekend are cancelled. And we are going to 12 hour shifts...to meet manpower needs.
Lookin like vigilante justice will be the law of the land in 16th district. Let's go!
This is true. He has to ask his federal counterparts for approval before he can make a command decision at his own airport.
Yep
The officers didn't want those schedules. The only ones who liked the "10 hour day" schedule were the ones still working 8 hours or less but getting more days off from the new schedule. Manpower issues will create the need for 12 hour days, and morale will suffer, stress will increase, complaints will increase, TRRs will increase, crashes will increase, etc. Don't act like everyone wanted to actually work 10 hours and the union shot it down.
So go work in a district. You go to a unit full of connected, coddled and protected do-nothings, and you complain that the mean boss wants you to display your parking pass? Get a clue, dogass.
FYI … Spiro’s day tac Sgt is his puppet and does all he asks!
He’s special, just ask him! Knows everything!
Never helps or has his team help the watch and good luck finding them!
325-350 in a month. Not happening
We all know where and when that started
If you want to lose your pension it is. If OT is pensionable, the pension will go bankrupt
The Democrats continue with their destruction of the CPD with full support by the media, liberals, radicals, political plantation voters and CTU. Destruction is the plan and its working.
The pension system would collapse. Exempts already fleecing the pension
100% wrong
Speaking of fire, anyone know anything about the upcoming class? Or word that the Brandon is throwing out the current list for a new test because not enough of his people made it? Been hearing rumors from CFD’s side.
If the news is correct?? Thousands of Federal employees are taking the buyout or not returning to work for the Orange Man. This means a possibility of law enforcement/investigation type positions would be open in the FBI, CIA, IRS, A.T. & F. and others. Pay is better and there should be several positions that do not include living in the D.C. area. NOW is the time to get in line first. DEI is being eliminated so unless you want to turn out the lights in Chirac there are options. Check out any and all postings.
Holy shit Batman!
Are Mayor Linseed and Commissoner Gordon on top of this situation?
Quit crying you’re in the best spot for patrol in the city , we don’t feel sorry for you you answer 1-2 calls a day if that , you guys let cars park all over the fucking airport property that could be a terrorist so save it at how bad you have it you guys don’t do shit . If you think anyone feels bad about 050 save it goes the tac team doing out there by the way ? the useless one that everyone talked about on here last year you know flirting with flight attendants about 15 years younger , sitting in the pilot lounge . Don’t forget to put your parking placard in your window by the way buddy .
😂 Can’t believe you or anyone at 050 has the nerve to complain about anything . You guys do jack shit besides looking at all the eye candy in the airport , and it gives your old ego hope that you can try and land in some twenty or thirty year old businesswomen’s pants while she’s in town . They all laugh and think you’re gross by the way .
NEVER gonna happen. They can't manage what they have now. NYC is different in they have a funded pension system.
I actually told Catanzara they the city was going to implement this within 5 years ......about 4 years ago. His responses......not gonna happen. Must be wonderful being led by a short sighted person. It is gonna happen and nothing Johnny can do about it.
It's already bad.
Rotating every 28 days. those without clout and not picked up by a watch bounced between mid-nights and 3rd watch. On top of that your DOG would be change so you would never see weekends off. The good old days. But the change day watch parties......
The old 6 and 2 schedule while rotating backwards every 28 day took its toll, but the camaraderie was unmatched.
Had a great time working the watch on this schedule!
11:45:13 … I sure they meant 160-170 in May and another 160-170 in June. Very possible as +/- 120 left January 15th.
Quit crying. We still rotated every period when I came on. You Millennials wouldn’t last a year on that schedule You knew what you signed up for when you took this job.
Downtown property values have plummeted. Across the street from the Willis Tower 300 w Adams sold for an 89% loss.
So far 20000 have taken the buy out.
022 Quiet? LMAO
Don’t worry about CFD
If their last name is Johnson.
So true! Now that the two workers on the team the watch
handles everything! The day tac Sgt is clueless,
as is his team! They’re embarrassing!
Just went up to 40,000 but it’s not for all agencies
