No Where is Safe
016 used to be the safest part of Chicago.
Used to be (door bell camera shot, courtesy of a reader):
That's a catalytic converter thief on Beat 1611. There were three and all had rifles. 1611 is almost as far north and west as you can go in the city, surrounded by Niles and Park Ridge, full of million dollar single family homes and thousands of city workers.
And the District is about two-hundred Officers short of authorized strength.

City does not care about tax payers, only illegal aliens!
Send the Tac Team.
It can’t be, say it isn’t so.. didn’t they hear about the ban on assault rifles?
“And the District is about 200 Officers short…”
Show me a District that isn’t short.
Every District, every Watch.
I wonder where all these people are? It couldn’t be 35th St. Not TREAD, nor Farce Review. I’ll bet the Academy is probably short staffed as well!
Way too many people on this job are afraid of working the street, and doing anything that looks like “Police Work.
On the other hand, those that do what “Police Work” is being done today are the ones copa and the progressive politicians are going after. So, sometimes you can’t blame someone with 3-6 years on hiding out in an office, collecting a check.
Thanks Democrats! >sarcasm<
upset? look at iclear arrests and go ask the area5 deputy Betancourt why two of his prt teams are focused on arresting migrants driving with no dl or false trps. 4561 4562 teams. might be time for a shakeup. look at 016 tack tickle teams too. holding offenders, drinkers n pissers, easiest pinches possible, oh and one car who only does weak warrants?? hmm
- hey snelling and hein are you listening
Looks like an AK with a folding/collapsible stock.
You'll go to prison if you snipe them from the house, and you'll be in a 3 on 1 shootout if you try to make it more of a self defense situation by going out to confront them. Best advice is to call 911 and give a good description. It's just a catalytic converter, and the system won't hold them accountable either way. Best case scenario is they crash and get injured or killed while fleeing without any police chasing them. Maybe they'll even flee to a county that prosecutes criminals.
No FOID. No CCL. And not a care in the world to conceal. F Chicago.
Leave them boys alone . . .
After all, if Barack Obama had a son ya'll.
016 was the safest place, but it had the most officer- related domestics.
Looks like machine gun,and you know they are fully automatic, maybe Tom Homan and crew need to concentrate on this felonies activity!
I never see these crimes reported on the news🤔🤔
Politicians have 24/7 police protection. If you want this to stop, quit protecting them.
Never mind that misunderstood 'cute. We need to focus on the real issues! Officers! Bump cards! Window tint! License plate covers!
If I had my way, I'd stack more of you problem children in 376. Kristen said I'm 4 POs away from a new toaster oven.
Oh... Is that a new, top-heavy female recruit? 'souse me. [jogs off]
so,,,, all I gotta do is use one of my rifles and take out 1 or 2 of those criminals and blame 2 white guys wearing robes with hoods and MAGA hats
No blame on this specific incident , but why is anyone shocked . 016 is a joke poor leadership , outside units that were fully doing proactive work hate coming into 016 . Carjacking unit , PRT , gangs , etc . Even Ph1 1699 on first watch told Ph1 quit hovering above a car that was flying going about 90 on montrose , Ph1 told him pound sand were aren’t doing jt for a pursuit but for officer safety at this time .
Officers in 016 always liked throwing shade at tac and PRT arrests .
This is four houses away from my home? I am so glad to retire this year? Can anyone explain why there are NO active patrol at night in 016?
Let me clue you in. Mayor Conehead does not care.
Not your daddy’s NW side anymore
So what do you think? When a Beat car from CPD, Niles or Park Ridge puts a stop on these guys? Will it A. Go into a full blown vehicle chase or B. Go into an active shooter scenario? You young guys reading this make a choice? And remember if you’re qualified to carry an AR rifle it’s locked trunk of your vehicle per Department orders? Sorry but since Prickster and Brandon allowed Kim FOXX to control the arrests this is why the bad guys are carrying heavy weapons and not the good guys?
016 is finished. Jeff Park and Portage Park are shitholes. Edison Park next. Look who’s renting up there now.
because the dems and libs call proactive police work racist
and the westside and southside have the most "baby daddy" related calls,,,, what's your point??
In progressive Chicago the cops are the criminals and the offenders are the victims. If Elon Musk and his DOGE squad came here they would be laughing all night at what a joke this place is. Crooked from the penthouse to the curb.
It's them again
Appears to be a Draco "pistol" - stubby barrel and no stock
And the District is about two-hundred Officers short of authorized strength.
Call Naps have him come out of the penalty box for some ICE time...
Don't worry , Conehead is going to keep criminals and illegals safe and warm.
This shows you the mentality of these shit heads. They’re willing to kill you for an auto part.
Bt 1611 is becoming the burglary capitol of the district.
Just enter the words and phrases on this website and it generates random bingo cards

Not sure where you are getting the info but 016 sheets are full, 3-4 rapids, wagon, and a whopping 7 to 8 FTO's on 2nd and 3rd each with no PPO's to teach traffic crashes to. Shouldn't be a training district.
Call 911?
The police won't for at least 30 minutes in 016. There's only a few cars up on the first watch.
They don’t work past 9pm. Sorry for that.
Exactly.
Yep, the mayors police guard detail has more officers than the entire 16th district. Why not have CTU guard him instead? That's who he really works for.
If Michael Jordan had a son.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/marcus-jordan-michael-jordans-son-reality-tv-figure-faces-dui-cocaine-rcna190602
You know what a machine gun is? You mope.
I’m long retired and not from CPD at that, so maybe I should keep my trap shut, but I wonder how this would workout if someone tried to intervene. If an armed citizen approached it would three on one, and the three are sociopaths, hardened to the ways of street combat. The citizen would lose this fight. As someone else here opined that snipping them from the second floor window with a deer rifle, or worse yet, an AR is going to lead to a world of hurt for the citizen.
If a patrol happened on these three it would be three semiautomatic rifles against pistols. How’s that going to work out? But, let’s say the patrol happened to approach these three when they were driving away. If the cops are smart, they would call it in, not follow, or chase. If the cops did chase we all know how that would work out.
Seems this had the best outcome. No human was injured and the savages got away with “just” property.
Any CPD shooting should be investigated by the State police.
Forget Homan having to do cpd’s job.
Retired former resident of Bt. 1611 here. I NEVER saw the police in my nerighborhood. During the day, or coming home and walking my dog at night. Ill grant you that a lot of my neighbors were the police and would have called 911 if necessary, but the response times were always around 20 minutes. From what I have heard, it is even worse now. Keep your cars parked in the garage...It seems like overkill to keep an armed guard standing by to steal a converter. They likely knew they were in a police neighborhood. These theives may be dangerous. Be careful out there. If you dont already have one, get a big dog. They are a good distraction to let lose while you take aim at an offender.
It’s been said many times get out of chigetto while you can.
Isn't there a special task force looking into these thefts? If the city can't, how about the County or State? How about going after those who buy them?
016 1st watch has always been a misfits dumping pile. The 1699 incident where the LT attempts to terminate PH1 pursuit on air is just one of many. Here's another one. Drag racers going through the district down Irving Park Rd. Doing their usual stupidity squealing tires and honking. A freshly promoted(from ET's) female sergeant comes on the air, her voice trembling, and say "016 district units roll your windows up, lock your doors and stay in the car".
Partner says this take officer safety as well as cowardice to another level. We just chuckled.
The Sheriff in my new county/state of residence would present you with a box of ammo if you lit one of them up. Free AR for the hat trick. This is exactly why I left. Shitcago is no country for old men. Get out asap, let your virtue signaling, dem voting neighbors pay your pension.
No he didn't have a son. He said IF he had a son. If ur gonna be snarky at least get it right
What are they gonna say, Honor Roll Student? Good Boy?
not worth it. Even if you do get into a successful shootout, all you're doing is killing a future doctor or astronaut.
District is not short, problem is that repeat offenders are let go . I bet every single one of them has an IR and related cbs
Bitch, bitch, bitch! I'll have you know that our beloved Mayor has more than enough armed lackeys, bootlicks, and assorted servants 24/7, You never hear him complain about a lock of protection.
I totally agree with the statement, the old school policing has been murdered by these socialist/communist politicians. If you do police work and it goes sideways, which it will the COcPA will screw you over 6 ways till Sunday. Even if it doesn't go sideways they will still screw you over, their answer is fire everyone, just ask the 100's of callback prisoners currently. I'm sure there are many that should be there, but way more that should not. As taxpayers we should hold our politicians accountable at the voter. booths, but we don't and that is why we are at the point that we are. This mayor despises the police more than Larry did, and has let COPA run a muck on the police. Screw this mayor and the majority of politicians, especially FAT F*ck Priczter. Save your job, freedom, and paycheck.
Foxx is just a distant memory ….oh never mind
016 got blessed with a Santa clause look alike short king LT that makes entire 1st and 3rd watch miserable. He will punish you for any proactive work. He is afraid to approve trr and will continue to reject it till 2nd watch takes over. Sgts are afraid to question that travesty as they are all merit. POs with a simple low level trrs have 4 rejections, good enough to get rule 14 as each rejection/change gets saved and reviewed. Santa clause is also very generous when it comes to pulling spars and CRS for any low level / no harm done pettiness....
Check the front offices , community services , watch secretaries, etc
Just goes to show you what a scam that consent decree is that continues to hinder the CPD. How can the consent decree reach any of the goals when your dept. is constantly 3500 people short . Legalized theft of taxpayer money.
Thats why I tok early retirement, free medical, and ran far away from that city. I feel for those of you stuck there. If I was a resident there. Id be screaming to anybody that would listen. Where I live know everybody is armed to the hilt and would of blown them assholes out of their shoes. Fuck the left
I'd prefer to throws grenades at them. Blow the car up along with them.
If you end up shooting one of these fucks keep it to yourself and don’t call 911
cause they have so many guarding conehead
Guvment intervention done happened
conehead n lars are both racist haters
How do you blame them? if, like you said, you do police work you are targeted for enhanced scrutiny, stripped, faced with 30 pending, referred for charges; if you do nothing you face scrutiny. I can live with scrutiny.
What's your point? it sounds like they're doing exactly what everyone says to do (next to nothing) on other threads on here people excoriate cops for still trying to work, chase etc. telling them they'll get what they deserve, but now they're dogs because it's happening in 016? You can't have it both ways, sorry.
It's survival of the fittest now. The current state of affairs has nothing to do with leadership and everything to do with politics and voting. The far-left democrats control every aspect of government in Illinois, as such, they have the most damaging impact on law enforcement, with their soft-on-crime, oppressive, anti-police legislation. Criminals have no fear and cops are handcuffed.
Leadership in 016 is actually saving cops from serious reprisals for trying to work. We've been hearing for a while now to do nothing and let it burn, unfortunately it also applies to 016, because consequences don't recognize district boundaries.
It wasn't just Eagles fans booing Swift, it was a large majority of the crowd. In my opinion, they weren't booing her, they were booing the NFL and the networks for constantly showing her and her reactions as if she and Kelse's relationship was as big, if not bigger, than the game. Fans are just tired of it.
Who is this 1660 that nobody knows who he is because he’s never around
You saying Park Ridge putting a stop on someone is funny , the only thing they put a stop on is a off duty cop holding a bike theft offender
What about 60?
You would think he would want better activity from all his tac days right Mighty Mouse
reported as thefts, all offenders armed. it''ll be a murder or agg battery if owner confronts the criminal. same crap happened in Beverly a few years ago.
Gee...out that late think they would get with a team for...Midnight Basketball.
“And the District is about 200 Officers short…”
Show me a District that isn’t short.
Every District, every Watch
Coneheads protection detail ani't short....Now What ?
Traffic stops are down, Terry stops are down, foot chases are down, car chases are verboten, arrests are way down. What did the liberals expect. They wanted " constitutional policing" but they get to decide what that means, not the police officer and certainly not the judge. Tens of thousands do not come to court so the court sends them a postcard. Tens of thousands walking the streets with open arrest warrants. No warrant men in the districts for a long time, and with way less police and citizen interaction the warrants go unenforced. Nice dystopian society the liberals are building. But, they are getting what they want ; less black men in jail.
Gov. Lardass waddling in on this...
My assault weapon ban, having EV's and fighting climate change....will stop these crimes.
....you going to finish eating that....Please may I
They didn't get the word on midnight basketball either.
Betting man says
....100 to 1...it's stolen. Takers ?
They jus funnin
3 on 1 shootout? Nahhhhhhhh.... 1st shot takes out shooter closest to the getaway car, 2nd shot shot takes out the driver... Now it's 2 to 1 with no way to escape for the bad guys... Theoretically....
Where was this at?
1630 says squad you can throw it on my box ….630 squad what are the details .. IFYYK getting on the radio every 5 minutes doesn’t make you a good sgt . But i do give some credit you ride on jobs but almost too much
Which one because you can’t find them
The 4563 team has its flaws also at times , but they’re the best and only PRT team in the Area that actually gives a fuck and does what they’re supposed to . You don’t hear them chasing petty calls or stopping a cook on his way home from work . They’re the only team who actually gets what they’re supposed to be getting guns etc not the 50 year old factory guy on his way home with a expired DL like the 62 team and 61 team does . And the newly created 4564 team that you never see
Yep, do like the hood. didn't hear or see anything.
Clearly, directly related to the subject here. /S
Goof ...
A couple years a go on 1611's beat, an officer coming home from midnights bumped into a catalytic converter theft in progress. They threw a few shots at him, he threw a few back. Nobody injured. COPA recommended the officer be fired.
but one of the tac boys has a hookup from fugitives to give him easy warrants for failure to appear and retail theft. ooooh armed with prior knowledge and an Iclear photo, quick pinch and home 6 hours early. your making a difference
Good. Enjoy your retirement. You are a genius of epic proportions. Now please STFU.
Between my ever increasing dim witted/can’t be bothered/or woke neighbors, I can’t wait to leave. It’s been a struggle. I’m 4th generation working class Chicagoan. It’s a daily gauntlet of what ridiculous quality of life or downright criminal behavior I’ll see. There’s nothing left for me here.
017 is super short as well. These catalytic converter thieves got my neighbors Prius on the 3500 block of West Belle Plaine at 0230 Monday .Chicago sadly is now a lawless society. This is what the democRATS wanted and they definitely have it.
And get state AG involve? lol please
They were doing this last year by irving north to Lawrence and cumberland and Ohare parking lots. Obviously not the same guys but WTF! I’m gonna make ice grenades and if I see them…bombs away! I’m on a high floor! lol
Agree!
An 06 sgt will fix the problem, just ask 1906 on 1st W.
cowwwwwwboyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy royyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
04:55:16 TRUE
we are downstairs and see these teams nearly every day tho. 62 team are entitled vet flunkies protected by their coward sgt WM and an entitled female who got launched out of the 025 tac office, her partner and two younger guys who work and the rest is trash. the 61 team walks around like their shit aint stinkin- protected by their hack job sgt JD.
016 tac ain't any better.
Caps office is on it
4 trr rejections is excessive. Sounds like the commander needs to step in and fix this goof before he unintentionally gets officers fired.
Ten tranfers world chaaaampion here....blue shirt style... I just want to say....you are all correct.
Agreed and I encourage same. In the off chance you can get to a long gun in time to crack a window or door and take shots from the cover/concealment of a structure and drop one or more of these bastards? Chances are once you smoke the first one, the others will haul ass cuz they don’t wanna get clipped. And they likely won’t have a clue where the shot(s) came from. Do not - repeat - DO NOT answer the door for any officers or detectives which might come a’knockin’. And it’s a good idea to have an existing pact with your neighbors to NOT offer up ring door bell or other surveillance footage. “Sorry, Officer, our cameras aren’t working”. Those Motherfuckers don’t fight fair and would kill you in a heartbeat if you approached them. So don’t fight fair and if given the chance under these conditions, kill as many as you can from afar.
Well Agnes is not merit she just doesn’t know anything. Day 5 of the test
016 tac guy is probably one of very few making arrests in the city. We thank him for that.Go pick on someone who hasn’t made a physical arrest in 5 years.
He and every other alder person on the north side has been asking for more officers for years, there’s none to give. The job is in the tank, everyone that can leave is leaving, the ones that aren’t are in survival mode (can’t blame them). Arm yourselves citizens of the north side and handle your business, because when seconds count the police are many minutes away.
reported as thefts, all offenders armed. it''ll be a murder or agg battery if owner confronts the criminal. same crap happened in Beverly a few years ago.
2/10/2025 03:10:44 PM
Reported as thefts because they're thefts. It doesn't magically become a robbery just because they're armed. If arrested, they could face UUW and related charges, but taking catalytic converters from an unattended car is still a theft.
Ok Rambo. Go get into a shootout with 3 guys with automatic weapons. I'm sure you'll come out on top. Dipshit.
There's very clearly an if in there. Maybe put the pipe down. If "ur" gonna try to correct people, at least learn to read first.
Here's a crazy thought for you to ponder: areas with more police residents have more police domestics. There's also more Chinese food in Chinatown.
I don't think these guys are illegal immigrants. You do know different agencies focus on different criminals and types of crime, right?
Depends. Are you a gay black man with connections?
Any other random thoughts you'd like to insert here, grandpa?
Someone sounds jealous.
Is it true that catalytic converter theft has been reclassified as "misplaced property" so as to reduce the appearance of serious crimes in the city?
Don't make me laugh, some of these suburbs are as stupid as the city, Park Ridge and their liberal Chief arresting the off duty CPD SGT for doing his job instead of backing him.
Nobody cares nerd. You think Smelling or Hein give a fuck about the 4562 team? Stop crying. Did Mighty Mouse lie to your face about getting on the sat team?(Lol). Dude lies like he breathes so get used to it stroke.
My Sgt always said “ Don’t call me, I won’t call you “.
16 is where old washed up coppers bid. You could add 100 of them from around the city and they’ll do nothing.
Don’t know the man but PO writing bad trrs are fools. They should be thanking the LT for rejecting them until they got their act together. Sit down and watch your body cam, write it word for word. Don’t be stupid and rush just because you want to go home or something.
and go ask the area5 deputy Betancourt
And the above sententence is why the department is so fucked up. That lil shrimp is the poster child for merit. He was a screwball in the academy. I see things havent changed.
Good. Enjoy your retirement. You are a genius of epic proportions. Now please STFU
Blow me while I shit jagoff
This is appalling. Even for Chicago.
Problem is the neighbors video and Ring doorbells will show the flash coming from your house.
True!
They're thefts until the weapon comes into play or force use against the victim, then its armed robbery.
It might "just" be property, but people are tired of it and that property might be all they have. A stand has to be taken at some point, this is ridiculous.
Sounds like a smart move, to stay productive on paper and stay off the radar.
Well, you could always fill out the par form to apply too or maybe you’re just that keyboard tough guy we always hear and see….coward
So many great coppers on this thread, but yet how could anyone knock an officer for an arrest in this climate where PC has already been granted by a judge by way of warrant where there is literally almost no chance for blow back or lawsuits? Shame on you P.O. Jealous Dawg!
Sounds like you are a marvelous copper and are clearly smarter than the rest on this thread yet you for some reason discount one of the cleanest arrests you can have in this disgusting environment that now exists and discredit a copper for making arrests through warrants where probable cause has already been granted. You honestly sound VERY inexperienced, brand new or just a plain bitter dog forming more of a cancer in the thread and department. If it’s so bad, retire. If it’s so bad, quit. You have choices too so don’t EVER criticize a working officer! Some people’s children….🤡. I’m glad others of you have recognized the importance and value of what some officers are still doing out there with the little they can. Glad to see not everyone is a moron.
Funny that someone on here would knock or criticize a working officer in today's society, but especially in Chicago when it's at its absolute worst in history. You sound like a complete imbecile when a warrant arrest is about as safe as they come with the PC already granted by a judge. I'm happy to see there are others on here with brains seeing the same things I see aside from this one coward commenting who is either a salty dog, brand new recruit with 2-3 years on or someone who is just plain dumb. Shame on you though, regardless!
Yup, sounds like another coward critiquing a working copper as always. Probably one who works the camera or radio room too. Some people's children.
awwww,,,, what's the matter kid,,,,, your 3 years was not enough for your last bid to 016,,,,hahahahahaha
This is exactly how I do it F this BS who’s going to
Have my back pistols against automatic weapons and we’re outnumbered the key is to go sirens so they know then flush them out of the district you have to be the biggest piece of shit dumbass to do it any other way!
Asif anyone has seen a Niles cop patrolling any neighborhoods. They are never around.
You might be surprised at how little time it takes to bid to 016. I was shocked. I like you thought it took forever, no more
Uhm, if the police try to stop a car, the car drives away and shoots at the police. The police cannot return fire and have stacks of paperwork to complete. Why risk your life for a situation that will break bad.
Answer the call...that's it.
There's really not many of those anymore.
Why? they're far from experts on the subject.
I see the disrespect for retirees continues on here. They are/were a wealth of knowledge when navigating the pitfalls and perils of this job, the administration, and the city as a whole, when it comes to surviving and making it to the finish line.
Have some respect and pay attention, you might learn something know-it-all. Hopefully you too will make it to the finish line and enjoy a well-earned retirement, hopefully devoid of snarky hair gel cops that won't treat you with the disdain you apparently have.
Wish they’d hit Niles. It would give the thirsty dork that drives the Durango squad car thats missing a headlight something to do.Guy wants to be CPD so bad
"Don't shoot!! I've got CarShield!"
“Asif anyone has seen a Niles cop patrolling any neighborhoods. They are never around.”
They’re on touhy racing up and down the street pretending to do work, following cars for miles and not actually pulling them over. Meanwhile their sgt is asleep at his house in Edison park. Bunch of dorks
