Knock it Off
There better be a good reason for this:
There is a large police presence outside a South Side building after a police pursuit of a vehicle ended there on Tuesday evening.
Chopper 7 followed a white Jeep Grand Cherokee as it raced through several neighborhoods, driving on sidewalks at some points. A police helicopter was following the Jeep, as well.
The Jeep was traveling on Interstate 57 to the Bishop Ford Freeway and exited at 103rd Street. One person jumped out of the vehicle near South Clyde Avenue and East 98th Street in the Jeffrey Manor neighborhood.
Driving on sidewalks? Who knows how many stop lights and stop signs were disobeyed? Remember, the first time you see a pursued vehicle violate a stop sign or stop light, you are REQUIRED to terminate the chase. Period. There isn't anything close to wiggle room in the Order if shit goes sideways.
The safest bet?
You CANNOT be disciplined for not pursuing.

General Order # 1:
Sit in the damn parking lot and read a book all night.
Wait for retirement.
But i’m “ following “ not chasing while doing 80 down a city street SCC
These kids are goofy ,a fillmore recently just got fired for chasing “ just “ a straight steal , the suspect killed a venezuelan migrant in a crash . COPA said the officer driving didn’t necessarily violate pursuit policy ……. but created unsafe hazardous conditions to all civilians by pursuing said vehicle with out emergency equipment activated , doing 70 well above the speed limit on city streets and for crossing the yellow line … don’t believe me kids search it up I believe the officers first name was Michael or something like that . I know policing hating page unraveled had the article also .
No, but you can still be sued- for not pursuing!
Some Officers just have to learn the hard way.
What if the offender did a shooting at ohare? Can we chase for that, SCC?
No one pursued this vehicle I was the first unit to observe the stolen Jeep off of 103rd did not chase an offender jumped out never found not sure if tact followed
Sounds like the town of Posen started the chase, if CPD joined the chase they know what axe will come down at them. Hopefully people realize there are still plenty of suburbs who chase for everything minus traffic (and still some who chase for everything with traffic) that they will get caught. CPD is just run by an idiot political machine, department head and the stupidvisors who make big decisions that are stupider than a pile of shit. Do not chase cars as a CPD officer, a detective once told me, there is a reason DETs are made, so they can investigate and find them later so we don't have to worry about these assholes running over people or killing people. Just remember that.
I can’t believe what I’m reading…
The carjacking task force is the most hilarious . They walk around and chase and pretend they’re the untouchables hunting down Capone . Relax bud you’re wearing skinny jeans or skinny 5-11s , they think they are gold stars and love to take box one even if they didn’t put the cuffs on dude .
They think they can chase also because they got told so lol your star still says Chicago bud therefore CPD owns you therefore you follow CPD policy , even if you got told by a boss you can chase when it goes south copa will still investigate because guess what bud your star says Chicago , and the boss that promised you can chase will be sipping on his martini while dipping his feet in the water at his Indiana lake house not thinking about you at all he forgot all about you and guess what bud you’ll be fired for violating cpd policy when the car hits a innocent mother and child . And since you’re fired and living on aid your family will leave you but that boss that promised you , is enjoying not only that martini but also a side piece of ass while you aren’t because your family can’t stand you anymore because your a idiot .
Ole boy be movin and groovin he finna get caught
You bit on the headline… tisk tisk. Take a look at the helicopter video and you’ll see it pan out quite frequently without a police car in sight. Definitely NOT a chase, yet the headline says it is. Exaggerated headline by the media to get clicks. Disgusting!
Criminals are free to , shoot, murder, rob, steal and rape. As long as they make it to their vehicle and hit the gas they are free as a bird. No CPD officer is allowed to interfere. Can't even imagine how demoralizing this must feel for the average officer who still believes in enforcing laws. Politicians have completely neutered CPD. This once prestigious law enforcement agency is now no more than armed clerks. Sad state of affairs.
Fun times in 004.
The new super cops are all knowledgeable and believe they have the power to overcome termination ! This is what happens when kiddos get participation awards 🙄
No point, these 2 year wonders and super cops will still try and chase. Let them find out the hard way that this department and its bosses don’t give a shit about its officers.
If this task force is federally sworn than neither COPA nor BIA are allowed to discipline them. News flash, Attorney General's office permits committing of certain low level crimes in order to further investigation. Any task force officer learns this day one at orientation. Policing is conducted differently outside ChiCongo limits.
That's an old rule and no longer true.
Some police need to learn the hard way.
My question is was the police helicopter chasing as well. They will say following but if the car is attempting to elude the police helicopter then it’s a chase. Police helicopter relays information to other cars it’s a chase.
Just say NO
Clearly you are a CPS graduate and if you are the police you got hired only after you got the extra points during the testing process. See the original post; no means no. On second thought, you should feel free to chase whomever you want, we need to cull the herd here at CPD and you look like an ideal candidate to be fired. Yeah, you can chase.
The video shows the vehicle speeding down sidewalks, running stop signs, speeding excessively and driving recklessly. If someone gets killed or seriously injured who will they sue? Did the helicopter rotor wash make the driver push the accelerator, steer the vehicle and put thoughts in the pea sized brain of the criminal to disregard traffic safety? Or could a lawyer argue the driver's actions were caused by distant police sirens or flashing blue lights in the distance? The law profession was hoping the police were chasing resulting in a personal injury of death. This is job creation and financial security for all the partners in the law firm. Law is about money not right or wrong.
**insert engine noise and revving in the background of radio transmission**
Eh, at 15 years on t he job, I'm used to it. I handle what I'm supposed to and go home. I do try to do a good job, only to be kicked in the balls by the city/county/state! Anyone who is proactive these days...... is dangerously in the wrong. Get that bust!? Neat, you're sued for something and national news if you have to use force. No point.
Coppers make it hard on sergeants because sergeants really should be writing coppers up every single time they don’t immediately stop and pull an elude ticket. 95% coppers fault but 5% sergeants not writing the coppers up when they do the “following” gag or don’t even say anything at all about chasing a car a few blocks.
The district community policing office was in the area looking for new, innovative ways to justify their overtime.
Be careful with whatever you do road rage! If this was true you could lose the job,possibly jail time the anti-police agenda is alive and well! https://www.wspynews.com/news/local/bolingbrook-cop-off-duty-brandishes-firearm-in-oswego-road-rage-dispute/article_b7c2e7fa-ff34-11ef-b004-97b72f2d4df1.html
Not if a supervisor calls it off. Lets stop being afraid of the Boogey-man shall we??? I doubt if you know of or heard of someone being sued for not pursuing. Ridiculous!
I agree with some of the above posters. Let them learn the hard way. The warning signs have been given. The writing has been on the wall for some time. No one should be surprised.
Go ahead kid, call the chase in...
So the PO you are referring to is related to "Tony the Ant". Personally if I were a copa scumbag and was assigned this case I would have requested someone else handle it. I would not want to recommend someone from that family be terminated, because I would fear being terminated myself.
For those with some time OTJ, think back to June 1986 and a cornfield in Enos Indiana.
Remember. NO PURSUITS! and NO FOLLOWING!
And speed camera tickets
We just learned to not gaf anymore.

You sound like a catholic highschool graduate, not understanding the sarcasm and context for you to respond like that. Basic social norms and cues are usually hard to pick up by your type.
Lmao, unless you work in A/5 and don’t want to follow up on literal layups on your desk
I’m with you on that. Remember when SCC had great posts, some truly funny, without the stupid redundant repeat comments, the “made me spit out my coffee” or “get the popcorn ready” or the “…moms basement” asshat but now seriously-where’s The Keesing Bandit?
So let me see if I understand you correctly. Getting sued for not pursuing a vehicle?
No pursuit would not casue a vehicle crash and great death or bodily harm to another vehicle's occupants. Also the pursued vehicle wuold not crash into a bus stop and strike 3 children waiting for a bus with their parent.
No pursuit would also not get another officer injured or killed by the pursued car or you car with your poor driving skills.
Have you looked at the front tires on your squad car lately? Do the look unevenly worn out? Are they under or over inflated? Did the last PO who changed the flat torque the lug nuts on properly ? Does you squad rattle when going over potholes and the steering feel loose?
Take a look at the your squad car after roll call and ask yourself? Would I feel safe driving over the speed limit to pursue some stolen vehicle and endanger the public and my fellow officers? Would your family be ok with you never coming home because you decided to chase a stolen car just because?
No Officer ever wants to be the breaking news story with the supt talking on your behalf in front of a hospital before the procession he the medical examiners office.
You should attend the Memorial in Washington DC and take a look at all the names on the memorial. while you are there you will not find anyone with a smile, but you will see a lot of sad faces and tears.
Just some advice from someone who has a family members name etched in stone at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
Rest in Peace to all my fallen brothers and sisters.
Well when you have some that get away with it and some that dont .. these POs decide to rool the dice .... im still wondering how the heck =)ey from 10 still has a job after not going over the air following a vehicle that crashed killing an old man standing at the corner of 26 and pulaski even though pod camera shows their unmarked flying into the same intersection with its emergency lights on right after the crash... things that make you go ummmm
The newer pursuits don't seem safer for the uninvolved vehicle drivers and pedestrians. The offenders are now motivated to deliberately drive in a recklessly dangerous way in order to get the pursuit terminated. That may be why so many stolen cars instantly crash, many times hurting uninvolved people. These injured people should sue the city for its current policy, which directly led to their injury. If a criminal or cohort who had shot someone can win money from the city for pursuing them, then common sense would dictate the ignored involved injured people can.
Hey 8:58 am Your dreaming or high. I was on a TF for numerous years and got several CRs but took no time. I was brought in the 2nd day I was assigned to TF to the ASAC's office about my previous CR's and explained we will not cover for you. I said I didn't expect you too. I lasted for several years with no problems. Actually got 2 CR's and agents were interviewed and was exonerated.
Look if you are a CPS graduate who still has trouble reading (especially Gen Orders), spelling and writing your name its Ok. You are special, and because you are special you can shoot your gun at O' Hare and chase anyone you want, because you are "really special". That makes ok. Besides you're gonna be a Boss someday.
Say it ain't so! The kid rocks a PR flag on his vest! No descendant of Pesci's Casino role would ever don that banner. Grandpa would be turning in his grave if so!
New generation of police are humorless. They have zero personality there by zero people skills. They never heard of sarcasm or jokes.
We have a Police helicopter???
Growing up they were pumped up full of ritalin and given an X box at 5 years old. They always got a trophy if they ever played sports at all. Likely raised by a single parent family, they never heard the words "NO" and "Stop" They played GTA until they joined the adademy and it is all they know.
Come on pos who shot at the police get money when the police shot back killing the pos who is actively shooting at them... no surprise here, but you cant get sued, yet, for just answering your dispatched jobs.
Spilotro...history family are that from the Chicago outfit. "Tony the Ant," and "Micky."
It’s basically the same with all the ambulances racing around with lights and sirens blaring, which endangers other motorists on the streets. No need for half of these lights and siren runs, especially by private ambulance services, who are just in a hurry for no other reason other than to make a drop off and get back into service ASAP, so they can get up and clear to take another run and make more $$$ for the private Ambulance Companies and keep ambulance down time to a bare minimum. There’s definitely scamming going on
