Manpower Dwindling
These are the sheets for the 004 District, 2nd Watch the other day:
Talk about a skeleton crew. And yes, we're aware it's days, but still....
- 6 beat cars (for 12 beats)
- 1 wagon
- 2 field sergeants
- 1 fixed post
- and a pair of lieutenants
And 004 is not exactly a small District in terms of acreage....almost certainly top five.

I feel like this is an in-basket exercise for a lieutenants exam. I’d take one of those bodies from the SDSC room and assign them to an early 10 Sector car. Not much else you can do.
004 is second largest in city geographically
016 is first
Yeah, however when you have a watch commander that gives everyone off and doesn’t care about the percentages then that’s what you get. There’s plenty on the watch, the problem is the WC gives everyone the day off no matter what. It’s great for the guys who want off, but it’s bad for the 6 cars working. I would rather have the WC give everyone off and just suck it up because one day I’m gonna need a day off and be thankful there is a Lt who is willing to bend and look out for us first.. there was a ton of PDays and CU granted that day. Hopefully the person posting this originally on Facebook didn’t just draw attention to it and now it will go back to 15 percent…. That would make a lot of people on the watch angry…
The paper clip hides it but total officers absent is 40. That’s on the WOL for leaving a skeleton crew. Sunday during the first weekend of March madness. Sometimes boss you just gotta deny some slips.. this is how people get hurt.
Get the untucked shirt heavily makeup faced fake eyelashed nails did up Starbuck sipping load women ducking and dodging on the inside and put them to work. We don’t care that you’re blowing a boss.

Hour. Been There Done That! PS. God Bless The CPD, Be Safe & Be Smart.
12 hour days.
They are a comin!
The few.
The frustrated.
By the many.
2 butter bars always solves everything.
Worked on visiting missions in 004. It’s so big that help is miles away! Not good when your getting your a$$ kicked.
See Baltimore, it's your future.
Years ago you had a post about useless details in districts. I think it’s time to revisit that post and see what the commenters have nowadays
Guess you just have to work harder....
I'm just a blue shirt. Not a boss. This is extremely irresponsible to post sensitive department information for public view. Go to work, do your job and go home to your family. That's all we can do.
When you look at the top post today the help is on the way will be here as soon as civilians are hired the more on the street the better for us, the citizens and for us to get time off bring them back, bring them all back! Welcome back!
Even worse in 016.
A district which isn't even half staffed. Then usually only run 4 cars on midnights. Why the mayor's guard detail has more officers than 016.
A day in 004 can be busier than most north side districts put together.

That is without a doubt coming up rapidly the same thing will be happening on the fire side, instead of them working 81 days a year now they will at least work double that no more sleepy, sleepy time being paid for by the taxpayers
I noticed one review PO. How many years of training does it take to become a review officer. Asking for a friend.
I recognize the thumb in that picture.
I’m dropping a dime
JPH staff is out of control. 5 Sgt’s, 1 LT, 17 PO’s. Princess AV doesn’t do anything. His roster is impressive. Allison Augustine Marine unit, Sherina Gan Recruiting, Amy Lemar, Amanda Vanek take home car, Lindsey Andrade ummm.

How is that relevant ?!
What’s your solution ? Drain the northside districts ? 016 is even shorter with more terrain !
Your asinine North vs South comments are ignorant.
Hey, at least there's two lieutenants! I bet that field lieutenant definitely worked a full tour in the field too, right?
Retired here...
Those A&A sheets look so ridiculous to me...
I'll bet it is easy to get a locker though...
When I came on this job the "new guy" had to wait for a locker...coppers were coming to work, parking in the lot and getting dressed using their trunk as a locker.
That being said, the staffing problems looks like a serious problem that no one seems to care about.
Be careful out there. Real careful officers.
I couldn’t care less about the manpower shortage caused largely by women who refuse to work the streets. I’m retiring anyway.
The new chief is nuts. Hell have a heart-attack or be divorced by end of summer. Micromanaging nut bag.
004 gets way too busy to let that many people take off.
There's something in the water over there that makes the citizens being served a bit crazy.
Crazy stuff happens in 004. Hopefully when staffing is that short in 004, or anywhere, that P.O.s realize that help and back-up is a long way away, and they don't rush to any job, don't chase, and don't arrest anyone. Think about it: 2 cars go down on TVBs and who has to answer all the calls?
I keep hearing that the academy is full of recruits yet.....
Simple u want more recruits get rid of the power test to get in after they are in, work their asses off to pass the power test in the academy before they graduate then hit the streets. Thats the only way this number hire are up. Yes it’s bs but we need bodies period.
That’s nothing!
total BS, this is a safety issue
where is chuck gouidie and the wife beater??

"Good luck getting help from Baltimore Police."
This is city wide and the WOLs allow this to happen.
All due to democrats.
where are the alderman, state representatives, county politicians, reverends and other community activists .
citizens should be protesting at the mayors office. Mayor bonehead has over 100 cpd assigned to protect his black wife and three children. how many of the residents voted for bonehead Conehead?

That's so cute, you actually think their going to hire people who want to work.
until you can find people to take this job, the manpower will suffer. Do more with less. And hurry up and wait. That is always the cpd way.

This is the Ugly Reality in the Windy City.
They allowed 15 percent off per the contract. The right hand corner shows the percentage of the people off.
Somewhat OT..
Every district sending 1 tac car to work the night shift at 014 due to the robberies, only for robberies to continue.
There are blue shirts in 004. THE problem is that they are ALL inside. You have like 10 CAPS officers, if you see the size of them you can tell what they do. Plus you have another bunch of DCOs who don’t do shit but kiss ass to the alderman. Check the front office, that bitch is packed with officers. Want to keep digging!? Check the downstairs filled with made up spots, DIOS? Seriously.
2 sgts for 6 beat cars?! Too many chiefs, not enough indians…
Get rid of the power test. Hell, coppers are going to be trained not to chase in car or on foot, not to fight people, if they resist you can get em later. So, why do they need to be in shape? Eliminate the power test, hire more coppers, keep feeding my pension.
We will continue to have to "do more, with less..."

Spoken like a true company man.
Not even discussed is they’re all 99 units - which means of the 6 cars… there’s really only 3, because 2 need to go every job other than Parker’s and accidents.
Every caps officer should be required to work a beat car.
Civilians should be assigned to caps office.
Waste of manpower.
Shortage shows.. streets are The Wild West .. red lights are suggestions to stop .. speed limits are 10-15 over posted .. U turns across 4 lanes at busy intsections .. Stops are for slowing down . Chicago has become Detroit ..surprised street patrol still writes parkers

Shortage shows.. even delayed radio tips off how few patrol officers on the watch working
What’s going to happen during the Democratic convention when they strip the districts of all personnel, to work the convention and protect all those Democrats from getting hurt
DIOS? Seriously
Are you serious??? These guys provide valuable intel to the working coppers on the strict. We should actually be making at least captains pay since we give them all the information so they can look smart. I mean really most bosses are dumb. That is the reason you need a person of intelligence available 24/7 in districts. This is the smartest thing these merit bosses ever did.

The caps officers work the streets dummy. It’s not an office job all the time.

Nope. Would need 24 hour days with some days cancelled

I've never seen a CAPS officer work the streets. They leave the office for CAPS events, but that's not "working the streets." Who are you shitting?
Well when the jolly green Irish giant in 025 doesn’t want anyone on midnights working overtime to fill “trained” spots inside then they have to pull someone from the street inside to do it which then creates less bodies on the street. Glad he made it to the Sox opener during his shift tho.
Wow. Some north side guys have really thin skin.
