New Year, New Rumor
This one appeared in the comments a day or so ago. Remember, for a rumor to sound believable, it needs to have some elements of truth in it - and this one seems to:
- I’m hearing it is Dana “Big mama” O’Malley who will be the civilian Commissioner and the 1st Dept. The plan is to streamline upper management and eliminate most exempt positions. Commissioner will be a Sworn member (Ursitti). One Chief to oversee the Dept under 1st and remainder chief positions will be eliminated. Most Deputy Chiefs eliminated with exception one for operations and one for administration and one for each Area (combining Patrol and Detectives for intelligence sharing reasons) and 3 street deputies with 10 hour shifts - 4 hour gap will be handled by day deputies.
- One Commander per district and one commander per Area D unit. BCT will be cut down dramatically with Narcotics, Asset Forfeiture and Gangs merging. Vice gone and Intelligence scaled down focusing only on anti-terrorism efforts. All other units canine, airports, and swat etc will have one Commander, One Lt. and everything else run by Sgts.
- Lt.’s will have large screens in their offices which will show the district in real time with red dots corresponding to each gps’d squad car. If you leave your beat it will beep and immediately alert the Lt and your supervisor. This is being done for beat integrity and accountability.
- With murders at a ten year low and violent crime down with 2000+ police vacancies it showed them it can be done. Paying OT is still way cheaper than paying insurance and benefits for 2200 new hires. All the OT nonsense in the media is just smoke and mirrors. Eliminating all of those exempt spots will save millions over a several year plan, reduce larger pension payouts and will fulfill the Mayor’s original plan to “defund the police” by not hiring for attrition and in essence doing a reverse layoff and ultimately wiping/eliminating another 2K sworn positions as Rahm did. Based on the city’s population compared to others our size we still have too many officers even with eliminating the 2K.
We did hear that Heineken sent out a letter gutting OT initiatives, and we wrote hear last month about there being only 350 hiring slots during all of 2026, with almost one-thousand potential retirees, so manpower is on a downward slope regardless.

If this person is so knowledgeable, why do they use the word commissioner and not superintendent?
Does this mean the detail unit will get disbanded finally ? I mean let’s face it 15 officers? lol what are they really accomplishing?
Hilarious False Rumors. 0% of this will happen.
Ursitti?
The same Ursitti that couldn’t figure out how to get off the floor of A/1 as chief of det?
The same Ursitti that went on stress leave because of a break-up with her significant other?
That one?
We’re fuckin doomed if half this shit is true
2000 vacant spots?
We are more than 5K short.
Send the house mice back on the beat.
It’s called , beat car. Not “squad car”.
Please be true, Please be true….
Huge decrease in actual officers on the CPD and by all of the glowing reports crime is down in almost every category. Governor Blimpo says Chicago is the safest city in America. So here is a theory. If CPD is down manpower wise of over a thousand and more vacancies on the horizon the more unfilled spots the lower the crime rate. No more hires until the CPD is gone and then there will be no crime. Ta Da!
Can anyone explain to me what does the horse unit do? And why in 2026 do we need them?
Department made 500 FTO's to train 350 PPO's. We have 30-50ish(?) Commanders with entourages in tow. Does the 9 officer missing persons section really need a commander? STRIPPED supervisors at ARS should be fulfilling PO's roles, writing reports. Captains should not have personal secretaries. Part 2 results of any promotional exam should be FOIA-able. It would literally take an Atom bomb detonation and a complete rebuild of our internally corrupt department for true transparency. Too many generational favors are owed in order for change to occur. Happy New Year to all!
And nothing about getting rid of the actual most useless money wasting rank on the department - Captain?
So were down over 2200 PO's and roughly speaking that's 21 million in lost pension payments a year to the fund.
Everything else run by sergeants?
Hell, I'm a sergeant and detectives make almost as much as me.
The only thing I'm running will be Netflix.
The bloat in the exempt staff should have been cut out decades ago. Is there be the political will for serious exempt cuts or will changes be more like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
This department is going to force us into 12 hour tours and that will not be practical for a lot of us officers with little kids.
I call BS just based off a couple things. First, detective areas AND already have only commander plus the OT cap thing isn’t a real thing. Do you know how much unexpected OT detectives have on a regular basis. What are they gonna do call or email the city council or an alderman at 3am to approve OT? Yea ok good luck chuck
“ Lt.’s will have large screens in their offices which will show the district in real time with red dots corresponding to each gps’d squad car. If you leave your beat it will beep and immediately alert the Lt and your supervisor. This is being done for beat integrity and accountability.”
Ooo-oo! Does this mean Beat 1033 will get a patrol car passing by more than once every… 10 years?
Cuz that would be grrrreat
And Who just retired at Chiefs pay another 4 Dist favorite 50k more will see
They have been reorganizing the CPD for ages. Doesn't seem to have done much. They need to get back to basics.
Overtime cuts are all talk we’re still getting overtime
Getting rid of top useless brass will only make the department better
Great plan!!
Do away with the gold braided pension and eliminate all the unneeded exempt rank members
sound like a good idea
we are definitely top heavy
Do you really think that any LT is going to give a shit about a large screen tv showing where all the beat cars are??? Most of the LT's NEVER work an entire 8hr shift, never in the office, go and workout for an hr ( right Allen??) and have no clue whats going on in the district..just a joke.
Sounds like someone with a lot of time on their hands. Very creative mind though.
Happy New Year.
A-TEAM
just send the police to patrol in the northwest and southwest sides and let those civilian violence interrupters be now known as "crime spotters" as they walk around the hood and when they see a crime being committed, they can they spring into action
just hope they don't cut the staff in all those caps offices,,, I could not stand to see all those pretty girls with 2 years on the job out on the streets
Beat integrity doesn't work. How many times do we have to try this failed concept.
You had me until Red Dots and GPS.
Half of this crap barley works.
Mayor is out in a year. So a ‘new plan” will be implemented
Cutting all that brass is a good idea.
Where is all this ghost money going that is budgeted for the police department. It is definitely not going into the pension fund. Even if they wanted to hire 2000 more officers where would they find them. The job has become so toxic that anyone with an ounce of sense is looking at other career paths.
Can we get an official comment from the non essential Consent Decree racketeers. Funny that people with so much street experience coupled with superior legal academics have so little to say on the upcoming Chapter11command staff bankruptcy. The Consent Decree people have answers for everything. The compensation packages and whale sized annual budget suggest that the progressive justice models are being advanced according to the master plan.
I can't wait to see the long list of resignations after Conehead appoints a civilian (Peacekeeper) commissioner.
Can I still be merit promoted to detective with 3 years on?
Many of us old timers have said this for years , eliminating most exempt spots will save pension fund. Elimination of inspection division would be another good idea. You could have street deputy hit one district a week and write up the minor uniform, grooming infractions. Admonish, reprimand the officer, give Sgt. a reprimand, Lt. a day off.
“Lt.’s will have large screens in their offices which will show the district in real time with red dots corresponding to each gps’d squad car. If you leave your beat it will beep and immediately alert the Lt and your supervisor. This is being done for beat integrity and accountability.”
100% true. Many suburban departments have had this technology for a few years. It also is capable of alerting a supervisor if you stay in one spot for too long. More than likely the Lts will mute the notifications. But it will be available for them to obsess over
New year, new rumors, same old BS
That's all great but when the trend swings up because of civil unrest or another pandemic the city will be behind. Bring the numbers up and stand by. History proves that the crime will return and return with a vengeance. I agree that management is top heavy but someone with experience has to teach the new supervisors. The Homan units should have been merged. They have gangs doing U/C narcotics buys and AFU writing SW's for unstamped cigarettes. Vice hasn't done a thing in years. They write ANOV's for t-shirt venders at lollapalooza, on a busy day. What was once a self sustained building of productive units has become an embarrassment.
Dana O'Malley is a fat dummy. No way she came up with this. And now way is she capable of this level of leadership. And BJ isn't going to listen to her. Put this rumor in the Total BS garbage can.
my source at hq says she has no real ideas. she steals them from all the people around her and report them as her own to the super. she exempts and approves all the slimy rats in legal so they don't have to work any deployments
Nobody wants to work for her, her boy in legal affairs has been calling and begging people------big no to big mama
D Hamilton from 4 caps to be 1st deputy
Year 2026 is absolutely my last year on this Chicago Police Dept. and moving from Chicago for sure!
So, I don't care what they do now!
Tact back to watch. Can't have a gps beat car ping on the map if it's a down car
Reform the medical so the fatass desk dollie 9 th district 3 rd watch can’t keep fucking over other officers oh that’s right you’re little legs can’t hold your fatass up for 8 hrs you useless POS
Narcotics, AF, and Gangs merging? The gossiping, manipulating, and backstabbing will be tripled!
I can’t wait!!!
and when a new mayor comes in and the crime rate goes up again, it will change again. same game, different player, shuffle things, change exempts, accountability baby.
#ICallBS but funny.
The Dana O Malley rumor is not true, she is white. They will open the nation wide search again to make it look legit. I work at City Hall, we have not heard O Malley s name as a replacement.
Well, one thing is forsure and been said many times for years…there are way too many exempt positions. All the Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs are redundant and just overlapping each other. Total waste. Hurts the pension fund too. In many cases you have a Chief, Deputy Chief, Commenders and Captins all sitting in the same building over seeing the same operation.
Enter Henry Hills laughing meme here! Where do you come up this LT G.
You wanted those chevrons big boy! Show us how it’s done.
100% false the DCs oversee the budgets per area, so you are wrong really really wrong
Depends how good your knee pads and lips are.
The benefits of being promoted and the boss.. after 26 years, I’ve done my time.. now it’s time for me to take it easy.. work out if I have to and not be stressed. I played that police game for far too long. I’m content being a Lt on a watch in a district now. Easiest job out there hands down. I’m gonna ride this into retirement.
They have merged and unmerged numerous times since Cline left.
True story.
I heard the homicides are down directly because of Saw-dick in 011
And all the civilian deputy directors!
2200 police officers short? The time is now to assign every sworn officer to District Patrol. Hire civilians for all administrative positions,hire retired police part time to police headquarters security,Homan square and city hall.
Good point
Well said and completely agree! We don’t have real boss who did the job. We have the connected who never did anything and was taken care of trying to play like they know what they are doing. Just stay safe and survive.
Boss can’t count.
They horse around everyday.
I feel sorry for zero boss. It’s lonely at the top. Especially when you are clueless. Most can’t lead themselves out of a paper bag!
I can see this happening. The leadership will play it like a video game. Most are clueless and will screw it up!
One big shit-show.
They love to BS the public.
All of them are clueless. The Chicago Police Department has no real leadership. Most can’t come up with one original idea. Nothing will change until they get some real leadership. It won’t happen in my time on the job.
We need Lt. A Leonard out of 7! Can we promote her? She is out of her mind crazy and is ruining the entire watch here. Mentally ill.
They liked what they read so their going to start a new section to study its feasibility.
A new deputy chief spot will be created with the typical accompanying personal to handle the expected work load. Taken home cars will be provided for those over the rank of desk dolly.
Have sgt's do jobs too...
Me too. I’m riding the medical until retirement. KMA!
It’s hard out here bro didn’t you ever have a pimple on your ass that’s two weeks on the medical
lol fake , beat cars are never on the beat you idiot , when was the last time you can say you were beat restricted your entire tour , the gps would be going of constant . Might want to check that cigar you were smoking because I think it’s a crack pipe .
Crime is down? Nationwide. Why? I will eliminate any strategy from any blue state. Look at our SAFE-T act at work and ask the woman almost burnt to death of the CTA. Your theory is as good as mine. Could be that Trump is president, though the liberal/progressives head would explode on that thought, could be more CCL and guns in the hands of responsible citizens, but the libs said that mayhem would ensue with more guns which it didn't. Better economy? Something in the air? Maybe the position of our sun in the great cosmic galaxy. No one really knows -even if they pretend to be experts. Shit happens. Sometimes good sometimes bad. The year 2025 was just a good year.
Stop having kids. The globe’s already over-populated.
well,,,, if your clout was good enough you would not need to ask
You have Caps confused with EVERY unit in headquarters lol
Excellent point! Another reminder that anybody can post on here.
If you need it explained, you aren't the police.
Hey Mr. 1/01/2026 01:19:36 PM ..
you wanted the chevrons also to make more money.
You just couldn't pass the exam.
The airports have been operating with one Commander, one Lt, and Sgts acting as Watch Commanders for years... Nothing new there.
In addition to BWC, 4 go pros on every PO’s head. Mandatory case report documenting time spent inside the station exceeding 15 minutes. PO’s with less than 10 years have duty to intervene on fellow PO’s with 20+ years and vice versa, but mandatary that the younger PO intervenes in the style of the 20+ year one and the 20+ year one intervenes in the style of the young one. PO’s with 10-20 years on 12 hour days.
too many chiefs not enough indians teeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeee
Hey bro it’s hard out here dealing with my real estate empire I can’t be every where
How many PO's are needed to run 12hr days? That's what they're going for
Please check your common sense at the door; it has no place here.
District commanders and each watch don't need a police officer secretary, they could easily hire civilians to do office work
The department will only become efficient if the next mayor is a Republican. That’s why I’ll vote Democrat every time just to ensure continued poor management and inefficiency in the department.
It’s interesting how this never gets brought up or mentioned. Look at the top heavy consent decree positions. That department keeps hiring more and more people with some kind of endless budget because no one can touch them. Follow the money.
They have tried that BS before in the D-unit. Years ago I was assigned a homicide on Mids. Had to pass it off to days, then days to afternoons. This was to save ot. Except when it came to court they had to subpoena 6 detectives instead of 2. Made a lot of ot in court. Would have been cheaper to keep me on ot in the beginning. Oh well, penny wise and dollar foolish.
"practical" is one of the many words that no longer hold any meaning
kind of like "normal"
I was a Defective in the 80"s when the Department began paying overtime in money if you so choose. There were many Detectives making more money than Sergeants. In fact, one particular sergeant in A1H was so jealous of us that he attempted to limit overtime by denying us court time. This came back to bit him in the ass because the States Attorney's Office told him who was he to order us to disregard a subpoena which is a legal written order issued by the courts. Of course, nothing happened to this Sergeant because of his family's clout. So, if I could make more monies than a Sergeant in the 1980's, than why would a Detectives 40 years later not make more money than you.
They had that 20 plus years age, accomplished nothing. Most WC unplugged it
Hopefully the new LT coming to the watch puts this POS in line
You cant stop commenting about the detail unit, are you that salty you didn’t get pulled from the nojo?
Give it a rest already.
Nobody cares about your personal vendetta against the detail unit, and your constant attacks seem a little unhinged.
Get yourself some help.
Wouldn’t this have to be negotiated?
You are correct, this was done in the late 1980's and failed miserably. Instead of having 2-4 Detectives subpoenaed for pre-trail conferences and trial with the prosecuting States Attorneys' there were 6, 8, and sometimes 10 subpoenaed. I am not including the defense attorneys who subpoenaed anyone who wrote paper on a case. If history is our best teacher than someone forgot to read or question us old timers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On days everyone is 10-99 so how will they have to respond to 1a jobs by themselves. What happens when they have to pull the beat car next to the beat for assist. It’s all bs. No big board.
Holy shit!
Give it up already!
We get it, you didn’t get into that unit.
Why? Because nobody wants to be around a whiny little bitch.
I seriously doubt anyone is going to get rid of the Detail Unit because you’re crying on the Blog.
Never gonna happen!
How else would we take care of “The Special People”!
That’s what happens when you get rid of the workers and keep the connected kids.
No!!!! Make him the mayor!!!!
This prediction might not be true, but if they don’t do something about the manpower in this department, those same exempt rank members might be responding to jobs in the near future
You do not want that system, Orland has it. The car has to move every fifteen minutes. Lot of burbs also have it, different time limits, no sneaking around or shopping.
yeah cause they will be BIG help out there , keep them, they will just get in the way or get people hurt.
What a hater
O’Malley can barely walk down a hallway much less run the dept
She is a joke. Chief of Detectives who has no idea how to work a case and never put anyone her jail in her career. Look who she surrounds herself with and the people she brought to the D unit. It’s pathetic.
Missing Persons Section does not have a Commander. Youth and Special Victims Support Division has a Commander. Missings falls under the command of Youth, as does SIU, CRU, and Youth Intervention.
Well here’s the new rumor out of area 1 prt.. our new DC sends out this email to the sgts
Guys,
Excellent job last day/night by the teams; I know it was a long day. We'll go without extensions this weekend. Sometimes, you have to force these guys to take a breather, and to give you guys a bit of a break. You've all been busting your ass. Hopefully, we hear something on a new Sgt by Monday. Happy New Year.
-Brian
we do work then get fucked out of $$ because he thinks hes doing us a solid? Nah thats not how that works. Stop denying our time and let us have OT. Heard rumors that hated ot but now I get it. He hides it under “taking care of us”..yah ok. And this new sgt hes bringing is the French guy from 8. Everyone hates him.
You any New Year's resolution?
That would be an improvement over the current staff.
Wow
Cry me a river. Most other departments in this state run 12hr shifts. If they can manage families and child care, you can too. God forbid you might have to *gasp* adjust and make a change.
Same
Old
Shit (SOS).
Next.
Newly appointed A/1 DC has made it clear at recent meetings that he will minimize overtime in 2026. Larry was not happy after seeing the overtime numbers from the previous regime.
Bat shit crazy Ursitti. Do nothing Ursitti.
What has Ursitti done to be Chief of Detectives besides attend press conferences and read from Detectives’ report? An eight grader can do that.
Cluelessness is her downfall.
If you want overtime come to the 008th district. You can work extensions and all of your RDO's. Unlimited. Spreyne takes care of his people.
Most Detectives make way more than you $gt. Lol
Lol, move out of the ghetto.
Ha someone finally called you out POS
It’s embarrassing the supervisors her and Bruno have brought in. We laugh all the time knowing our Sgt’s and lts have no clue what to do.
We will trade you for the idiot Duckhorn we have in 001. Please get him off of our watch.
Sgt,
Do you work any cases? Do you stay late for in custody’s? Do you have to wait on Felony Review to call you back to present the case? Do you then stay and help the detective with the CI list from felony review approval? Have you ever stayed 48 hours straight without going home? Then have to type a 10 page closer, including mirandized interviews, and Inventories.
I’m assuming NO! You just work a 4 hour split shift amongst you & your peers, then complain Detectives are making more money than you. 🤣
The LT’s workouts bother you that much? Stop being a fat slob and join him. Your life will improve ten fold. I know plenty of coppers who bisit Dr Summeroff and are gone from June to September. Good for them! Take care of your body. Happy new year.
Either didn’t make it… got dumped.. or got promoted to Sgt… thought he would go back after six months or so and is still sitting on a watch bitter and jaded.
She’s a Lt in 007 on 1st Watch.
Do you think anyone really gives a fuck about 007th District, 1st Watch?
I’ll give you a hint- fill out a PAR form.
Corp counsel investigations has 25 officers with company cars and 4-6 hour days.
Well, tell the DC how you feel.
Tell the French guy what you think about him too.
Man up!
Or just drop your To/From to go back to a District.
Detective areas also operate with one Commander one Lieutenant and Sgts as watch Commanders
1/01/2026 02:15:48 PM
Agree with you. Too many variables that can go wrong the last year. Supervisors would bury you to save their own behind. Cannot blame them, it’s a dog eat dog out here.
My source says NO ONE at HQ has any sense or brains!
What about these politicians and their personal body guards? Cone head 150 to take his kids to school and pick up his cleaning? How many others have Security Specialists assigned to them? Ervin? Pappas? Preckwinkle?
Why would Larry care if hes headed out in May????
Vote him fop president!!!
Sergeant is probably the worst job on the department, but it's the only way to get to what is probably the best job in the department: lieutenant.
Study hard!
Never saw a bigger crybaby post in my life.
Hey, when will CPD be enacting the recommendations made in the Booz-Allen report?
***Ooo-oo! Does this mean Beat 1033 will get a patrol car passing by more than once every… 10 years?
Cuz that would be grrrreat***
Uh, you do realize where you live don't you? Come to 010 and show them how it's done there tiger.
1/01/2026 02:52:46 AM
Listen you dbag 2 year wonder- OT isn’t a guarantee. Maybe ya all can actually get in a foot chase where you know where you’re at, don’t give the dispatcher attitude and make a decent stop after you take your little break.
We all can dream.
I gotta disagree. At least she’s willing to admit she was never a detective and depends on good people who were. She’s smart enough that if the system is broken she can listen and try to fix it with advice from people who know. Her problem is that she has a couple of terrible commanders from the Carter regime IE area 1,2 and 4.
Plus thompson ID (Illinois. vs Thompson).....3 Cops look at a picture...Yeah that's him, 3 Detectives look at a picture yes that him.....ASA=you can't find anyone that knows him....Charges denied
Get rid of that Midget Tapia in Mass transit, spy’s on everyone from vestibule to see if they ride the van. Company man all the way all the way!
Yeah ok that’s why he promoted the Lt to Cmdr. Stop the BS
Leave asap. It isn’t going to get better.
The a5prt mechanic Lt will be named sup and the two old guy twin brothers will be his bodyguards. talk about driving miss daisy
Allen in 024? What Allen ?
Doesn’t make a difference. Actually having less officers on salary and the curt paying the ARC is all that is needed.
Less police means less pensions in 40 years.
Lt. Get out on the streets and lead by example.
Her CIT program has gotten officers hurt due to the unrealistic de-escalation. Some have retired off IOD from dealing with mentals her f’ed up way.
Eric Tapia is not respected by anyone in Mass Transit, never really worked a day in his life as the real police, maybe a napoleon complex is to blame
Lol ok beat off
Wrong there. 050 - OHare has a Captain assigned.
That’s not what we signed up for, I chose this over other depts due to the hours and guess what? It will be a bigger loss to the dept if there will ever be 12 hr shifts not to mention it won’t work in Chicago
Sounds like some dumb swinging little testicle parasite who hides behind a keyboard…grow some balls and tell her to her face tough guy…
Dots: Yet another waste of money. All the software costs and training, dumb as clucks h1b visa morons who can't speak English implementing something that doesn't work 24x7 because of f'd up implementations and new equipment installations every other year. Good luck.
Hes going to start using the handicap space and claim disability like denny on midnights.
Only if you’re in tact but they’ll lie and say they don’t get any OT
Great way to improve moral with this entitled loser.
Why was she allowed to join the group chat for officers? Should be supervisor-free. Big mistake by whoever let her join.
Buddy instead of wanting a cheat car to be seen more often in the ghetto just move out of the ghetto. It doesn’t make sense to still be living in the ghetto on a cops salary. I wouldn’t live there even if they paid me!
The detectives are doing the work. You’re just answering the phone. In fact, you’re not needed.
Cry me a river. Most other departments in this state run 12hr shifts. If they can manage families and child care, you can too. God forbid you might have to *gasp* adjust and make a change.
1/01/2026 05:28:01 PM
Tell that to PO’s on a beat in Area 4 or ghetto south side districts.
Go get your shine box and be quiet.
Capt.’s should be brought back and in charge of the watch. Also, Cmdr’s and above should only be able to be promoted from the rank of Captain in a district. Chain of command should also apply to promotions.
The Mounted Unit is mainly a dog and pony unit until the shit hits the fan and we need them to maintain the line. I witness first hand the value of the mounted unit during the Hawks celebration in Wrigley. Those drunk frat boys didnt stand a chance against those horses.
Deputy hitting districts and writing people up, reprimands and suspensions for pimpy violations? That will certainly fix the department. Pension will be solved, morale boosted to all time highs, crime will plummet, staffing will increase as everyone will realize what a great job this is. When you think you’re an “old timer” and “the real police”, but really, you just have the same dumb ideas as every useless political hack gold star walking around today. Nice job there “old timer”, don’t forget to keep voting democrat too, you stroke.
WHO CARES! These rumors aren’t going to stop you from showing up to work.
Cry baby. Live within your means, I’m sure you’ll survive one weekend without OT. Enjoy time away from work and at home, instead of crying all over yout little balls because you can’t be at work non stop. Loser.
The same one screeching like a wounded seagull at pride over the loud speaker ear fucking everyone within earshot
She never put any one in jail? Shit , I haven’t either! I put mother fuckers in prison, but never in jail! I must suck
A5 PRT has none either
Oh stop. Your probably just stupid and can't handle being required to do your job properly. Anyone who actually knows Leonard, knows that she is extremely smart and could run circles around these morons your type love follow. Buckle up buttercup, she's not going anywhere anytime soon. I'd suggest you learn to do your job.
It’s a squad car boomer
You can always go back to patrol if you have it so bad.
Spreyne is a handjob. Always has been.
“They horse around everyday”
That’s a bit hay-larious, don’t you think?
Why the long face?
Mike Seiser coming back to take over Wallers spot. You heard it here first
What is with this asshole & the Detail unit? My God stfu already, you’re taking up midnight basketball space which I still find funny. Not you! Shut up
“ Cry me a river. Most other departments in this state run 12hr shifts. If they can manage families and child care, you can too. God forbid you might have to *gasp* adjust and make a change.”
——————————
Spoken like a true boomer, you made it so F everyone else. Gfy. “MoSt DePaRtMeNtS”
The volume of calls in a busy district makes this suggestion of 12hr days retarded. Add in
1) coward bosses who look to feed anyone to the wolves over viral videos
2) continuous canceled days off for everything from NYE to a warm weekend would make “adjustments” impossible, especially having young kids
3) CPD has trouble addressing officer wellness, we lead, or very close to leading the nation in suicides.
4) Burnout would be astronomical. People leaving or doing nothing would increase.
5) The department can’t recruit, the place would be completely fucked.
Maybe STFU, collect your pension. Let those of us working worry about this
True. That's why i bid there. Not enough PO's to cover such a huge district
Have you ever seen her without her uniform on? She is never in civilian dress
Well I’m a 29 yr retired officer and I’ve called them both!!!
@7:15pm. The original poster was referring to Det making almost the same BASE pay as Sgt’s, NOT including overtime genius.
@4:04pm Pienta? Nice enough guy but he was trying to leave the district. There will be no putting people “in line lol
Because she expects you to do your job? Get a life lol
Hey smart guys -
Commissioner/Superintendent often for large metro areas, are sometimes used in separating the top administrative (non-uniformed Commissioner) from the top uniformed officer (superintendent). These roles manage law enforcement, but the specific authority and civilian oversight levels can vary between departments.
Here’s a bit of CPD history for you young bucks who think you know everything.
Before 1927, the head was the "General Superintendent," then "Commissioner of Police" until 1960. The shift to "Superintendent" in 1960 established a new era for the CPD, with leaders like OW. Wilson and later Fred Rice Jr. (the first Black superintendent) focusing on modernization and community relations.
Chicago changed from Police Commissioner to Police Superintendent in 1960, largely driven by the Summerdale Scandal, which revealed deep corruption, prompting then Mayor Richard J. Daley to bring in outsider O.W.
