$15 Million?
From a foundation that has zero to do with police work or leadership as far as we can tell:
All Chicago police supervisors will soon be enrolled in an innovative program aimed at using a $15 million gift to turn them into more effective leaders.
Police Supt. Larry Snelling said he wants department members “to walk away with a feeling of confidence” — and crucial new job skills.
“We want them to be able to think on a critical level [and] develop strategies based on things that they’re seeing in the communities,” Snelling told the Sun-Times. “It’s going to make for a much more effective police officer, and it’s going to make for much more effective planning around strategies that you need to reduce violence.”
The Sue Ling Gin Foundation gave the funding to the Civic Committee, which will develop and run the program over the next five years alongside the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
The first group of police leaders is expected to start training in January.
The foundation is known for advancing far left wing causes (mainly gun control) and appears to be run by a family that made millions supplying meals to airlines. How this is connected to anything police related is a mystery, but the Department got $15 million when Conehead has run out of money citywide.

Right. Top heavy department with supervisors who are the biggest OT abusers, half shift workers, pension scammers, and power trippers.
What is the hook? Nobody just gives the CPD $15 million because they want to virtue signal.
People’s Republic of China or Chicago
It's not police related. It will be all about how the police need to treat the "community" better and foster relationships and whatever other bullshit they want to pretend is needed. Spend the money educating the community on birth control and responsible parenting. Spend it on telling people exactly what to do when stopped by the police, and what not to do. The problem with the police is that the community doesn't like being told to obey the law and be productive members of society. You can't fix that on the police side of things.
Chicago, on more step closer to the ChiComs.
How many at Midway?
Southwest Airlines is set to lay off 1,750 employees beginning April 22, marking the first mass involuntary workforce reduction in the company's 53-year history.
The cuts, concentrated in Dallas, represent about 15 percent of the airline's corporate and leadership workforce and follow a string of cost-saving measures aimed at reversing financial strain
Speaking of airlines. MAY 7 is the real ID deadline. Wonder how the passengers numbers will be affected and if chicago will lose any much needed tourism dollars when consumers don't have their real ID to travel?
From the Sun Times article:
“ Roseanna Ander, the crime lab’s founding executive director, said there’s strong evidence that developing leaders in policing can reduce gun violence without relying on more arrests or heavy-handed enforcement.”
From Ander’s bio at: crimelab.uchicago.edu
“ Ander served as a (GEORGE) Soros Justice Fellow with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office and worked for the Harvard Injury Control Center and the Harvard Project on Schooling and Children.
From: cfjj.org
“……. The (GEORGE)Soros Justice Fellowships funds outstanding individuals to undertake projects that advance reform, spur debate, and catalyze change on a range of issues facing the U.S. criminal legal system. The fellowships are part of a larger effort within the Open Society Foundations to reduce the destructive impact of current criminal justice policies on the lives of individuals, families, and communities in the United States by challenging the overreliance on incarceration and extreme punishment and ensuring a fair and accountable system of justice….” Also check out: opensocietyfoundations.org
For years they have been programing the legal system, the schools, the universities and now the police. Pretty ingenious and devious!!!
The whole CPD leadership group is a joke. Not sure you can train dummies. They can thank Ken Griffin for the money, who sold his properties and moved to Miami, Fl. Good luck finding another caring guy like that. He rebuilt the Lake Bike Path and gave money for other stuff to help out. When he left because of crime, his body guards were stuck up but were able to take the criminals into custody. The Governor was happy he left and said good riddance. He generated 60 million in taxes with his trading co.
SCC, Since you are mentioning Alderman Walter Burnett in “The New Engagement Rules?” You might want to know from this posting, “$15 Million?-“From a foundation that has zero to do with police work or leadership as far as we can tell:”
As mentioned in the Sun Times article The Sue Ling Gin Foundation is bank rolling the CPD leadership program. The Sue Ling Gin (she is deceased) Estate has donated $3,000.00 total to Friends of Walter Burnett Jr. as found on Illinois Board of Elections Contributions.

After 6 Years, CPD Now in Compliance With 16% of Consent Decree: Monitors
Maybe the class can teach them how to get it higher than 16%. I would have thought they would have been at 17% at least by now. He, he, he, LOL. The joke is on taxpayers. Everyone is getting paid and it will never go away.
Chinese name. Hmmm....
If the supervisor is 5 foot tall, with her nails and hair butter whipped, driving a tinted out foreign job, and wearing crispy Air Force ones it’s a no go. The dept can send them to every class in the world but they still be ghetto losers.
What kind of food????
Yippy. European travel to the USA cancelation rate up 17% and summer bookings down 25%
Bad news for the fatasses hotel chain lmao and Chicago tourism industry. Oh well guess conehead gonna raise property taxes soon. His "investment" in aliens..when are taxpayers gonna see a return on. That "investment "

And who will be allowed to go to any special training. Not any working copper that’s for sure.
Sounds like a class for merit promoted individuals. We know they can't make a decision without 3 phone calls.
Who also don’t have the answers!
Snelling, Hein and Talley should be the first ones to get trained. Leaders they are not. GTFOH with that bs.
In an interview with a reporter in his new offices in Miami he reminded the reporter that over the years in Chicago he had donated more than $600 million in charity in Chicago. Lightfoot and Pritzker cheered when he left because he had the gall to be a republican.
Sounds like they needed to dump some funds quickly. Was DOGE knocking at their door?
I'm quite sure that better trained leaders will benefit the entire department in a very positive manner. Only 15 million, you say? Now that is a bargain.
Shitty
“ it’s going to make for much more effective planning around strategies that you need to reduce violence.”. We seem to be struck in that darn planning stage again. Apparently we have the strategies, we just don’t have planning.
If we can be conditioned to “conform” to lawlessness………what WON’T we conform to?
Ho Lee Fuk?
This will continue throughout the Trump presidency. I just came back from London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam. The anti-Trump and anti-American propaganda there was nauseating. People actually asked me if tourists were being sent back by immigration and customs at the airports. Now I know how the Israelis or Russians must feel.
If you want critical thinkers then promote smart people. The department has lots of smart people but it goes out of the way to promote hacks.
Stop promoting people who score below 1000 on promotional exams. That might bolster the ranks with critical thinkers.
The best training I ever went to was Lemart. The funniest was yoga. Wagon men north of 300 lbs should not be rolling around on the ground while wearing lulu lemons.
Maybe they should have been CPS teachers instead. They’re getting another huge raise. And no increase paying into their pension.
I’ll never understand how something so ridiculous continues to flourish?
The lodging will be at a four star hotel (maybe Pritzkers) and meals will be cartered. Of course the rank and file wont be invited. City colleges will also offer some college credit for the course. Everybody is going to get paid here. But Conehead has assured that it will bring crime down even further under his administration.
Seems like waste, fraud, and abuse of filtered, washed money.
Well, unless you need to see more unchecked immigration and its results, screw Europe.
Gathering information. What’s the foundations view of police officers being merit promoted with a score as low as 56%. Some of those rocket scientists are Commanders. What’s the foundation think of an off duty,yes off duty merit sergeant that shot an unarmed teenager. That sergeant wasn’t charged and is still on the job. Maybe he will be promoted to lieutenant.
These "developing leadership" seminars and materials are just vehicles for woke indoctrination.
These programs are run and presented by careerist pop psychology charlatans.

“ George Soros is the most dangerous man in America. The investor is intent on remaking the country to his liberal image, from our foreign policy priorities to undermining our criminal justice system.”
Informative article that goes on. It’s what the radical left has done to the criminal justice system. Just be aware of how they want to indoctrinate law enforcement. Coming to you soon.
Only thing that’s stops violent criminals with guns is prison or violent criminals with guns getting smoked by other violent criminals with guns. Is there a third outcome?
We Too Low
Southwest was sold to private equity a few years ago. They have gone down hill ever since.
They've only had about a decade to get one.
and power trippers
Let that truth sink in. You spineless little weasel- you know who you are. Just remember, your itty, bitty power leaves when you leave the job hahaha 😆 ps ain't nobody want that thing you call a man, biotch
All that matters is that they had the answers to part 1 of the promotion exam.
May propose that all the merit fucktards go first? I know they're all extremely gifted, thus the multi merit bumps in many case, but they certainly should be first. They've "earned" the seat.
yes look who the boston training is going to be- again people that can’t pass a sgt or Lts test and who know tons about medical days one has over 700 days but hey perfect cmdr pick - someone has to relieve the one that is still on the medical since all the stress from bud billy
You're mad!!!
