Happy New Year!


Hope everyone is staying safe and warm.

As with most major holidays, posting may be sporadic depending on what time we end up in bed overnight. Anyone have a decent hangover cure?

It would be interesting to know how much the City spent putting on the New Year's Eve extravaganza in terms of entertainment, fireworks, police, fire & other City support services. Thought the City had a huge budget deficit.

Second city, surprised it hasn’t been mentioned: all requests for time due for new years in 007 denied; officers told “Lts are to vet to/froms. Spending time with family will not be accepted or sent up to the commander/deputy chief.” If you fall under the 15%, doesn’t matter, your reason isn’t good enough to have off. Better have a plane ticket.

The only hangover cure I know is prevention. Don't drink and go to bed at a decent hour. Hopefully you don't have neighbors that like to celebrate by blasting off fireworks or shooting firearms.

I could not believe what was on the stage for Dick Clark’s NYE Celebration from downtown Chicago. The portrait of our city was a mirror of Detroit, with the stage cluttered with rappers and nothing that reflected our City as a whole. Looked like a gangsta rally for the downtown takeover. And all the Knucklehead Mayor could keep saying is we are going to let the Nation see Chicago during this celebration. What a joke, I changed the channel over to WGN and it was a true portrait at Navy Pier and from a rooftop venue along the river. Those two locations really worked well. Glad the Mayor gave in to the Youth Escort Policy, which really made the difference. Now, just keep that policy in place and we may be able to win back the downtown venue in a couple years. Happy New Year CPD!

I got really sick of that whole plane ticket thing. A really stupid way to prioritize who gets to take time. Sometimes, there are more expensive and more important things happening in town that people should be allowed to take take off for. Why give priority to some dummy who is not smart enough to buy a flexible plane ticket?

Funny you mention this. I know someone who has already FOIA requested the cost of the fireworks. Conehead has no cash for a balanced budget and won’t sign off on the one the aldercreeps put together, but will spend how much on fireworks???? And yeah, I wasn’t surprised with how ghetto the show was. Looked like they gave some south and west side bust outs fake furs, pumped them full of champipple and told them to get jiggy wiff it on stage with chance the crapper. Just garbage content all in the name of catering to the usual suspects.

Listen dummies, to all of you bitching and moaning about having your time denied for NYE, you are just embarrassing yourself. The fact that you truly believe you are rightfully deserved not to work on....not only one of the biggest holidays of the year....but as a police officer? Are you fn kidding me? Hate to break it to you kiddos, no one owes you anything and you should know that. You miss holidays, you miss important days and events and you try to make up for it. It's called being a responsible adult and being a police officer. What kinda profession did you think you were getting into? You miss big holidays sometimes till you get a better day off group, it's a given that the 4th of July and NYE are shitshows which in turn means all hands on deck. Never in my 28yrs on this job have I seen such a selfish, childish and lazy generation of whiners, babies and medical abusers.

When I was a young officer, my entire watch was called in for check off 15 minutes early. Whether it was to prevent a flood of shootings, by the police, a spate of foot chases, or stop a series of OPS investigations we never learned. Either way, we got to hear the gunfire in the parking lot as we parked the squads. It sounded like a war Zone, and everyone went home safe that evening.
