More Cameras

Did this really happen?:

  • You heard it here first, there’s an email coming out today for inside people and lockup guys. All inside people must wear their vest and BWC. And people issuing equipment must activate their BWC when issuing equipment. I guess there was a fight between radio room guy and a copper in 012 where guns were pulled. Also WOLs will take note of what time BWCs are docked for inside people. Also lockup officer must leave BWCs on whenever there is a prisoner in a cell and leave it running all day. No more splitting the shifts for inside people.

There are already dozens of cameras in lockups and more in the newest stations public areas. But hey, better surveil everything and everyone all the time.

This is what happens when hiring standards fall.

Dept more concerned about getting numbers on personnel than officer safety . How many lockups have an active alarm system in place if an emergency occurs inside lockup. I'm sure not many as most districts disregard the general order relative to lockup protocol.

I mean, why not at this point. I’m surprised this department doesn’t force the bomb techs to record themselves dismantling a bomb. Only to be FOIA’D later on by terrorists. This City already demands we BWC plenty of other security sensitive jobs that literally involve inanimate objects and zero detainment of any persons. The lack of critical thinking behind these policies is astonishing. Not to mention, how much does the data storage cost and who exactly is paying for that?

Hey now, let's not blame the 12th District. I know both of those coppers...they are squared-away. (Besides we all know how upset we get when the radio room gives away our favorite squad car and gives us a long-stem when they know we only use a short-stem.) And don't blame the new hires either. The PPOs coming out the last several years have been top-notch. Real go-getters. When I have to work inside (don't ask...I have a doctor's note) I always wear my Molle vest and riot helmet anyway. You can never be too careful.

whoa wait a minute I am a hard worker come on boss. Can I get the early duck? I got an arrest come on boss can I go home early? Could you take care of me boss? Looks like all good things come to an end some coppers ruin everything. Just like if you open your mouth and you tell somebody about a good deal it let’s say Wow wait a minute I am a hard worker come on boss. Can I get the early duck? I got a arrest come on boss can I go home early? Could you take care of me boss? Looks like all good things come to an end some coppers ruin everything. Just like if you open your mouth and you tell somebody about a good deal let’s say a restaurant next thing you know they come in and ruin it only takes 1! The new generation of policing. And so many went to other departments and are begging to be rehired because they found out when they go to another department. It is actually run like a business. They are accountable for their time there are uniform standards. There are things they have to do but come over work on Chicago. You don’t have to do anything and the bosses. All they do is stand there shining their gold badges, knowing they’re gonna be ripping off the Pension.

Not that unbelievable. Back in late 80’s a few 014 district coppers who were former LK, did some funky Spanish translation for A5 on a shooting.
Next day people reinterviewed with different officers and witness story was what the dicks expected initially. The witnesses said they told the police the same thing both times.

Probably because too many people including CAPS have illegal keys to the radio room. The radio room should be manned at all times. After the radio guy or gal are done they generally go down and help with reports. People sneak in and take whatever they want and don’t write it down. The radio person is responsible for single radio, taser, rifle and any other equipment up there. Radio guy probably didn’t want a CR because of some ass hat walking in.

I retired and escaped the city 6 years ago. I spent some time in one of the better North Side districts. Most of the guys went there and stayed there. Some never took promotional tests since they would have to leave the district. Most were there for 30 or more years. Like any dysfunctional family there were petty spats. Some escalated to parking lot fights. Some guys married the divorced spouses of their fellow officers. That's why you never take your wives to the watch parties. Now retired and after thirty years of talking shit about each other and bickering they now get together once a month for lunch to talk about the GREAT times they had. Ya can't make this shit up...

Pointed guns at one another? Pppffftttt!!!! Child’s play. Ask retired detective Harry S. about shooting his partner in the ass… after his partner shot HIM in the ass. On paper, it was friendly fire at a hot call. In reality it was over some hoodrat they were both banging. 011th District follies in the late 80s and early 90s were legendary.

“I know you’re on top of it,” Mendoza replied, as she implored Pritzker to continue his dialogue with the airline. “Right now you have the loudest adult voice in the room to reassure these important businesses that we value them as strategic partners.”

“In absence of any semblance of competency coming out of the 5th floor,” Mendoza wrote, referring to the location of Johnson’s office in City Hall, “I don’t blame them for positioning themselves as potentially looking at other opportunities, even if that’s not the case. I do believe they’re committed to Chicago and that you’ve had these conversations with them. I’m just reaching out to you to ask you to keep that up.”
