Missed Gun....Again

This time in the 009 District lockup:

  • an arrest by the Tact Team (who should have searched the arrestee on scene) 
  • transported to the station by either a cage car or a wagon (who should have searched the arrestee before accepting custody) 

...was found to have a gun in his groin area by the lockup keeper.

Completely inexcusable.

Has Academy instruction gotten so bad that Officers are afraid to properly search an arrestee?

So 3 man car tact arrest. Gambling call. Two heads both run , one ditches gun(recovered) the other gets the old half assed trust me bro search. Tact leaves arrestees in processing by themselves because they cant be bothered using processing computers. when the arrestee gets searched by lockup p.o instantly feels it cause the guy is wearing SWEAT PANTS.Yes the same tact "officer"who lied btw.

Going back in the late 80is the 025 tach Lt, & political hack who was an arrogant person, brings an arrestee in off the street into the tach office. He has his guys process the arrestee where upon they discover a gun in the guy’s cap. Nothing ever happened as he was Commander Joseph C’s best friend.

Maybe it’s the. Advent, but I’d say it’s more likely the quality of recruits they’re hiring, and the general system in place which targets the idea of putting hands on people as improper. It’s literal “hands-off” policing that society, COPA, and the lawyers have brow-beaten into people.

That being said, search your fucken prisoners.
If you can’t be bothered to do a proper search, don’t make the arrest in the first place.

Searching is a thing of the past. COPA has every officer scared of their own shadow. French murdered because of the shitty search. Bartholomew murdered because of a shitty search. The Officer in Laporte Indiana just got shot because of a lack of searching. The list goes on and on. There is an officer at call back who has been stripped for years for doing good searches on offenders in custody. CR numbers being handed out left and right for pat downs. Suspensions being handed out by COPA for nonsense (FOP does fight every one of them). White Shirts scared more than anyone else if they see someone being searched. Supposedly change is coming as the gutless Command Staff has finally had enough of seeing a lack of or no searching at all of people with guns. The order will change without input from COPA. I doubt it with a city completely run dummycrats.

Only way you fix this is dedicated search room in every police building that a prisoner could possibly walk into.

In the dedicated search room a full search and wanding with metal detector is done under the supervision of a Sgt and the Sgt signs off on the search and the Sgt and searching officers are Documented on any and all reports.

Searching has been and still is a problem and weakness in the CPD.

The only way you fix it is to search under supervision and document who searched where and when.

Hope it fixes the sloppy police work and there won’t be a need to gig the person(s) who missed the weapon because no weapons will be missed with stringent searches.

The “war against the police” continues! All started with Barack Hussein Obama who hates the police and started the war on police by stating “question authority.” From there the Libs and progressives demonized police officers. Even when their communities suffer homicides, criminal sexual assaults and illegal drug sales they push for not charging, no bond, home monitoring no accountability whatsoever. Homeless drug addicts roam the street like zombies and law abiding citizens can’t even live in blue run cities. That being said law enforcement has to be better. We have no choice. If we don’t we will lose the water in police and our country. Unfortunately President Trump in my opinion hasn’t done enough to re-enforce the strong need for law and order. In the mean time we need to do the job to the best of our ability. That means train young police properly, back each other up and do things correctly ever time. Most mistakes happen because people are rushing through the process. There’s no rush. Just another job waiting or maybe you leave an hour or two late from check off. That’s the job. You want part time work at McDonalds. They pay well now. Slow down!

Used to be guys on Tac had at least four years on the job. Thanks to bullshit like COPA no one with any time on wants the job so this is what you get. Short timers on Tac teams that learned the job from watching TV. They literally grew up watching these TV shows. No time on, very little street experience. Most descended from greatness, ie, ".. my pops is a Lieutenant and he wants me on a Tac team til I get promoted..". The boneheads who initiated the arrest that got the guy killed and the other nearly dead should both be thirty days pending. Transport guys should do at least 10/15 days. Lockup also. No word on any disciplinary status since the Tac guys previously mentioned are probably descended from greatness and a cover is being formulated for them to escape any serious discipline. The department is already calling the fuck up " a tragic accident " instead of what it is: TOTAL INCOMPETENCE.

Start with a 3 day suspension for the first time poor search. Then go to 5 days and then 10. Ill bet they start searching their prisoners real good. The A/O should get 5 days off the bat. 3 for a bad search, and 2 more for handing off a prisoner with a concealed deadly weapon.

Officers, you put your own firearm, tasers, knives, etc in a lockbox before entering a lockup. Why must officers bring the offenders gun into a lockup, leave it unattended on a lockup metal desk to prepare an inventory report. Record the recovered firearm's info outside the lockup on a piece of paper instead of physically bringing someone else's firearm into the lockup. Use a lockbox outside the lockup to secure the bad guys weapon. The same goes with knifes. Think safety.

If you bring someone into the lockup with cuffs, DO NOT undo the handcuffs prior to conducting a thorough search in the lockup. Search and search for weapons that can hurt unarmed officers in the lockup. Bags of weed cannot kill but firearms, icepicks, boxcutters, utility knives, screwdrivers, metal hair picks , etc. can kill or severely injure our superhero Men and Women in Blue. And take immediate possession of phones. Your safety is paramount. No police experienced copa henchmen can say what they want under color of general orders, special orders, assorted policies can't bring you back when you are murdered or heal the serious injuries inflicted by a criminal. A criminal who regularly lies cheats and steals will take full advantage of one's naivety, sympathy or guilt. Look out for number one and your collogues first. Search, search search. Its better to be judged by a copa flunkey than be carried by six from the CPD Honor Detail. And don't feel offended if another officer searches your prisoner. Sometime we miss things and are often distracted which could end up in a tragedy.

This isn't even a street frisk. It's a custodial search incident to arrest.

There is no excuse. We have plenty of room in the new stations to conduct a search of your prisoner in the bullpen or individual holding rooms.

With your partner present, tell the bad guy to take off your shoes, shake them out.
Take off your socks, turn them inside out,
Take off your belt, take your pants down to your ankles. Now pull them up.
Take off all shirts down to the first layer, lift it up.
Turn around and face the wall with your hands on it.
Do a slow and methodical search of his clothing/body.

You have already won, he's in custody.

What's the big hurry? ALWAYS search with a partner present.

They are taught to search properly in the academy. We cant fix 25 years of no integrity or accountability that should have been taught at home. Come spend a day with us and see the nonsense this Department is recruiting and what is allowed in. You think there are problems now.....standby.

The problem is these new wanna be cops think they're invincible and dont have to follow the rules. Afraid to put their hands on people, talk to people and cant even remotely explain what they did and why they did it. This is not an academy problem. But you keyboard warriors who think you know it all and want to show us stop by we will show you first hand how bad it is. If its that bad in the district where are the supervisors to hold them accountable. Easiest job in the world and coppers fuck it up for themselves by not following the rules.

Sorry but the search should be done long before hitting the station!
Cuffs & search before transport, every f'n time. I found a gun up & in a female who sat uncuffed in the squad waiting on a female search, I still remember the look on the two male officers. Also found a knife on a broad tucked up. If your afraid your not cutout for the job.

Tact team in 009 is a joke led by a Lt. Need who cares about overtime only. His game is that he's never at work for his regular duty hours but all over the air for his daily overtime.

I remember years ago I was working a DUI saturation patrol and I brought my prisoner to a southside lockup. I can't remember which district, but the lock up guy, an old black dude takes my prisoner and tells him to pull his pants down, including his drawers. I guess that was a thorough way to do the job.

All these bosses are the same, all talk and never will dump or demote. Same ol song and dance all the time in 9.

True story. Maybe that night team should be disbanded. Their new “Sgt” is absolute garbage and should not be back there either. Only there for the money. That team should be gone, too many bad incidents with them. Banging on a car window with a loaded gun, gun goes bang. It’s a miracle nobody got shot. Again, great leadership in that office, what a joke. Change the tact LT.

You hit the nail on the head. Only cares about his money and his overtime. Should have never been put in to be a tact LT. Needs to be removed and replaced by a good LT.

In exchange for being on tact, you give up certain contractual rights, like the two- hour window to start your shift. Department needs tact, not for what they do to fight crime, but to utilize them while violating our contract and not have to pay for it. All you get is a chance to wear jeans.

Well said. You most likely worked the hood.

When someone threatens to complain, tell em to get in line. Know your job, the policies, and how to articulate why you did what you did. Too many CR numbers. Got one on my day off (that's how you know a criminal really loves you) Not one sustained. Many not sustained or unfounded and a few exonerated.

I'd rather get a CR number than a memorial mass.

I was informed that at the end of May 001st District Tact arrested a guy and processed him in the processing area in 001. After processing the prisoner they turned him over to Central Detention staff who found a loaded semi auto in his underwear. May have even had a switch on it.

Check every weapon to ensure it is unloaded. Search every prisoner to ensure he/she/it is unarmed.
When you pass a weapon to me, you will check it first, and then I will check it. When you pass a Prisoner to me, you WILL search, and I WILL search again.
And the SGT may search a third time.
