Beck at Area Central

The Interim Supe stopped by Area Central this afternoon, shook hands around the floor, and told people that he'd only be here three months.

He also told detectives on the floor that he knows cops don't like change, but there's going to be quite a bit coming up.

We certainly hope he wouldn't lie to us, because once you violate that trust, not a single cop is going to buy into your vision (or Groot's vision) starting on 002 March 2020.

Any bets about this time next week, we'll know exactly what direction everything is heading?

Why does anyone think this is gonna be good. I mean great change is coming but it's going be change were policing is dead which it already is. All these spots will be filled with self righteous police hating people. They will put that choke hold even tighter. They will 100% will not back any P.O doing their job. I hope they put a tighter leash on us. I want bodies to pile up and choas to happen that's for sure.

That dislike of change, supposedly, is not objective.

There is an aversion to:
(a) Change not for the better in the honest sense
(b) Bullshit

Bag of cats story. First an interim year, now 3 months.
Why the blow out at end of February 2020. Did he see
too much shit, too fast? Realize the job is a hopeless
tangle "beyond comprehension"?
It's when something doesn't seem quite right, you pay
attention, according to the "See something, Say something"
ads. I can't believe it's the money. Is a younger, more
willing gunslinger lined up? Malinoski?
Something changed that man's mind.
We'll attempt to find out why.

Beck seems like a builder rather than a demolition guy.
Granted, he'll do what he has to do, but does not want
to be around in the aftermath in the very same city.
Remember that cop who went rouge out in California
some years back. This guy really wants to retire for good.

Lots of changes? More likely it will be more goofy training and reporting to sooth the snowflakes feelings. Recruits are given crap training. It's rare to meet a PO that can give good police service for the most routine types of calls. Would you want the average PO to respond to a traffic crash, burglary, robbery that your family/friends are a victim of?

Hopefully Lightfoot knows how corrupt the promotion process has been with friends and family getting rich, that she takes down all lists and ends merit promotions. Then hopefully she has someone reopen the Lts cheating scandal. The damage Eddie did over the years is probably unrepairable. He put many of his friends in high places.

The first change Beck is making is dealing with the new uniform. Beck is strict on appearance and on being in the proper uniform.

1) No more baseball caps. No more knit hats. Crown cap only.
2) No more outer vest covers. The vest will be worn under the uniform shirt.
3) Leather duty belt only and gear.
4) No more gym shoes or athletic shoes. Shoes will be polished and shined.
5) Tie only with long sleeve uniform shirt.
6) Clean white T shirt with short sleeve uniform shirt.
7) No more cargo pants for patrol.
8) No more ghetto hair styles for men and women. Women better have hair up and not down.
9) No more beards in uniform.
10) Anyone caught not complying will be sparred to include Sgt and LT.

This dude is not playing. We are in for some real discipline. Any PO or supervisor wearing old torn uniforms will be sent home. Worn out duty belts and pouches will NOT be worn. Expect a first issue for dark blue pants with dark blue shirts like LAPD does. We in for some serious uniform adjustments. I ain’t taking no time.

If nothing else gets straightened out this would be a good idea. Seeing a group of Po's standing together means 6 different uniform configurations. But leave the light blue shirts alone. Back when uniform and hair standards were enforced we looked good. We could look good again.

I wonder how Beck liked stepping over the homeless at Area Central and wondering into that shithole of a building? I bet he was shocked. As far as all of this " change" coming up, after a lifetime in the city and a lifetime in the department, I remain skeptical and will give it a " wait and see". Politics controls the city and the police department. It has made everyone cynical and distrusting.

Beck could improve this department 100% with one order. Abolish ALL exempt positions. Return all exempt to their real ranks, the ranks they held before they gave away their integrity for cash and power and their beloved white shirts and gold stars. It will never happen! The exempt rank is how the corrupt city hall keeps control of the police Dept. Honest, DESERVING, supervision of the Police Dept. would never be accepted by the totally corrupt Democrat party and it's assorted bottom feeding "reverends" and priest.

Beck is making the rounds. He addressed us and said he knows the merit system is broken and a joke but he believes tackling it is beyond him. He also said he has never seen a more incompetent group of deputy chiefs in all his years, and doesn’t know how or why they are in the positions they are in. He specifically called out area souths deputy Elgin holt.

Beck will make changes and make them fast. Whether he stays three month or more will make little difference. The first three months will set the tone and pace of changes. Easy one's first: winter uniform's, sloppy appearance, clean shaving, hair styles, etc. Real problems upcoming are: who do you trust, who gets dumped and who gets moved up (and on who's reliable recommendation). Kill Merit promotions. Will he allow the SGT's exam to continue and promote for the first time in years a legitimate list of new SGT's from that list. That would send a messages to the political fucks out there. Now is the time to break the back of corruption. Clean house and drive out many of the corruptors in the command structure. Call out Foxx and her incompetence, investigate the cheating scandal, clean house in IAD.

Does that sound like a bit too much. Maybe?, but if you complete half of it - it's a good start. Besides if you want to be a change agent then make it happen. Trump is draining the swamp in DC. What about it Beck? What's the worst that Groot can do to you - fire you as the reformer. It's your ballgame now. Clean this fucken mess up. There will never be another opportunity to do it. Clean it up, take the money and leave town a better man than the one you replaced.

Cholly Magnum C.B. Beck probably has a binder full of changes that if he’s lucky, will get to institute 5% of his recommendations.
Big Changes coming. Police don’t like change. Those are a new ones.
He’s here to do the job slack ass SpecialEd & Merit Co couldn’t do (besides to tell the truth) and it’s to finally get this bs 21st Century movement flowing now not later which is intended to further the political agenda for the historic LightLoafer Legacy.

Larri LightLoafer wants to put an end to the Chicago Way - that’s a big bag of lying bullshit. She’s already up to neck in flip-flops over City business, revenues and taxes. Hasn’t yet called out Alderthief Austin yet who is a 100% council yes ma’am.

I can’t see him changing the uniform standard to much.
I will refuse to wear my vest inside. With the carrier I am
Able to carry my lemart kit with me and not leave it in the car. God forbid I need to use it I want it on my person not in the squad car. It does no go leaving it in the squad car. I firmly believe at least one officer in each squad should have one on their persons. The live you save could be your own!!!!! That’s why I believe taking away our outer carrier is an officer safety issue. I will take my stand if they implement that bs. Also cargo pants are comfortable and we have more cargo space to put items.
The blue pants, blue shirts the department better pay for them. I think beck has a misunderstanding
Lapd pays for some of there officers equipment unlike cpd.

I don’t know how much more change can they throw at us. I wish they would just come out and say stop doing proactive police work because I’m starting to read between the lines and to me that’s what it seems like they want with all this change.
Where is the change for the criminals!!!
This anti police shit has got to end and it has got to end soon!!!!!

I have Almost 3 years on anyone know how I can get an inside spot for the rest of my career!!
I still do proactive police work but that’s about to end. I can not risk my freedom and livelihood anymore for an ungrateful city that does not support its officers. I refuse to be the next big news story!! I don’t know how others feel, but I feel like we are walking on eggshells out there!
I am going to finally listen to the veterans and just answer my calls and back each other up. It’s all about career survival now. No support means no proactivity.

I'm sure he has a lot more on his plate than appearance and there are more important issue to deal with. I would like to see a complete over haul of the command structure, discipline streamlined and an abundant of other issues than would make this a better work environment. Do you really think someone that calls 911 is worried is an officer has a beard, cargo pants, molle vest or any of that other non sense you wrote???

If there's any truth to this, it's long overdue.
With the exception of the vests under your shirt, which gets very hot & bulky, I agree with these changes.
In the mid 80's when I came on, it was crown hat, 80/20's, short sleeve or long sleeve with a tie and 3 outer jackets. Leather, spring/fall & the long nylon coat. No gym shoes.
Gotta admit, everyone including myself, got really lax as time went on but we (again me included) did look pretty sloppy.

4) No more gym shoes or athletic shoes. Shoes will be polished and shined.
5) Tie only with long sleeve uniform shirt.
6) Clean white T shirt with short sleeve uniform shirt.
7) No more cargo pants for patrol.

"The first change Beck is making is dealing with the new uniform. Beck is strict on appearance and on being in the proper uniform.

1) No more baseball caps. No more knit hats. Crown cap only.
2) No more outer vest covers. The vest will be worn under the uniform shirt.
3) Leather duty belt only and gear.
4) No more gym shoes or athletic shoes. Shoes will be polished and shined.
5) Tie only with long sleeve uniform shirt.
6) Clean white T shirt with short sleeve uniform shirt.
7) No more cargo pants for patrol.
8) No more ghetto hair styles for men and women. Women better have hair up and not down.
9) No more beards in uniform.
10) Anyone caught not complying will be sparred to include Sgt and LT."

1) Fuck the Clown Cap, it is without a doubt the most useless piece of the uniform that ever existed. Wearing it doesn't command respect, sorry to break it to you old salty fucks. And before you open your pie-hole I've got 25 on so I've been around the joint a little bit. It should be for Dress Blues ONLY. It has no purpose on the street. The baseball cap serves to help with shielding your eyes on sunny days which make it easier to see. I'll wear a knit cap in the winter and take a SPAR every day. This isn't L fucking A and 80 degrees every day.

2) Vests under the shirt are impractical. The vest cover serves as a carrier for many of the tools we carry. Taking away the vest cover is impractical.

3) Leather duty belt and gear weighs more than nylon. If you don't think that is important ask some guys or girls with some significant time OTJ and ask them how their back health is. I'm going to utilize anything that lessens the weight around my waist on a daily basis while sitting in a fucking cage that lacks room to sit properly.

4) Don't really have an opinion on shoes, other than they be black and 100% of the same surface material.

5) I will not wear a tie. Even the clip-on tie is an impractical piece of the uniform. We are police officers, not fucking office workers. Besides, it is a safety issue. The clip-on tie can serve as a means to strangle a PO. Nope, won't wear it, fucking SPAR me. Make the tie a part of office/HQ uniform, not the street.

6) This should be obvious.

7) The cargo pants allow for PO's to carry tools of the job. FOP book, cell phone, secure money pocket, etc. Make the old 80/20 pants part of the office/HQ uniform.

8) Should be another obvious issue.

9) No beards? Fine, make some of these women shave their beards and mustaches also.

10) SPAR me, no problem. Add 'em up and add it to my days off.

This isn't 1970 anymore. Times change and so too should the department. Don't give me that bullshit that "we've done it this way for X years either, that's an old and tired excuse for doing the same stupid shit over and over.

4 to go and can't wait to get the fuck out of this shit-hole city and department!

Beck is here to institute the changes that the Mayor wants. He is going to burn the CPD to the ground and then the Mayor is going to rebuild it the way she envisions the CPD should be. The “specialized” units, especially those at Homan Square will be history. The ghosts at Homan will now have to actually show up for work.
In case any of you missed the words of the Mayor, lying will be dealt with in the harshest of ways. Rule 14 violators will be reported to the Illinois Training Standards Board and the Mayor will let them de-certify the parties and then CPD will just have to sweep them off the books
due to their de-certification by the State of Illinois. The Mayor again gets someone else to do her dirty work and to rid the CPD of those who the Mayor detests. This is gonna be real bad.

Are you going to trust lori and her people? It’s a political position appointed by our progressive mayor who hates us. She’s going to put people in there that will push the department in the way she wants it to go. Why in the world would you have any trust in Lori? You can go ahead and put all your trust in lori and her political appointees, but I know I’m not. Any friend of hers is an enemy of ours. Now get off the blogs ms mayor, you have a superintendent to find.

Men have been growing beards since the dawn of time. Be patient. A few years after you go through puberty you may be able to grow one also. Good luck kid!

I'll agree with you on every point but this one. Being an old salty fuck myself with a couple more than 25 on, I do believe the round crown does command respect. Read about bad guys who shot and killed officers. One of the things they size up is your appearance. What doesn't command respect is your backwards, moldy, broken down baseball cap. They look like shit. Now if you have a supervisor that will counsel/SPAR you for wearing it backwards, or tell you to get a new one after its been in your back pocket for 5 years, I might go along with it. But we all know, supervisors aren't going to do that. You are the POLICE, not an andy frain at the Cubs game. Look like one. I do agree with the knit hat for our -30 degree days (although I think it looks stupid) as long as it is worn with the police star on the front, not sideways like everyone does.

Ummmmmm....you do realize the “clip-on” tie actually CLIPS ON, and does not go around one’s neck, thereby eliminating the possibility of being strangled, right? You will be a great merit pick. WTF.

Stop your bull shit. You will do as your told or you will go home without pay. Your reasons are invalid and you know it. Stop pretending you know what you are talking about. Go get your shine box and shine your shoes you sloppy piece of poor excuse to be the police.

Uniform changes that will immediately begin are: wearing the crown hat, vest underneath the shirt, no more cargo pants, ties and no more gym shoes. This will be done with a stroke of the pen. Order coming out in one week. Every PO was trained with vest underneath the shirt. Like it or not, it’s done. Vest covers are no longer an optional item. Not sure about the dark blue shirt/dark plants. No more cargo pants. No more fleece jackets. Sweater only with tie. Leather jacket will also be gone. Uniform will be UNIFIED for whole CPD.

I’m pissed because I just bought those under armorer turtle necks. I hate that stupid tie. Better not be caught without the tie clip. Commander and Captain will be held accountable for every uniform infraction. This place sucks.

This dude is not playing. We are in for some real discipline. Any PO or supervisor wearing old torn uniforms will be sent home. Worn out duty belts and pouches will NOT be worn. Expect a first issue for dark blue pants with dark blue shirts like LAPD does. We in for some serious uniform adjustments. I ain’t taking no time.

It’s not a bow tie dummy. Absolutely can be used to wrap around someone’s neck.

Take a Jiu Jitsu class sometime. Not original poster, but I'll strangle you with your t-shirt collar. A clip on tie I can rip off you easily and garrote you from your back with? You don't need to be giving anyone such tools to choke you out.
