No Where is Safe

016 used to be the safest part of Chicago.

Used to be (door bell camera shot, courtesy of a reader):


That's a catalytic converter thief on Beat 1611. There were three and all had rifles. 1611 is almost as far north and west as you can go in the city, surrounded by Niles and Park Ridge, full of million dollar single family homes and thousands of city workers.

And the District is about two-hundred Officers short of authorized strength.

Show me a District that isn’t short.
Every District, every Watch.
I wonder where all these people are? It couldn’t be 35th St. Not TREAD, nor Farce Review. I’ll bet the Academy is probably short staffed as well!

Way too many people on this job are afraid of working the street, and doing anything that looks like “Police Work.
On the other hand, those that do what “Police Work” is being done today are the ones copa and the progressive politicians are going after. So, sometimes you can’t blame someone with 3-6 years on hiding out in an office, collecting a check.

You'll go to prison if you snipe them from the house, and you'll be in a 3 on 1 shootout if you try to make it more of a self defense situation by going out to confront them. Best advice is to call 911 and give a good description. It's just a catalytic converter, and the system won't hold them accountable either way. Best case scenario is they crash and get injured or killed while fleeing without any police chasing them. Maybe they'll even flee to a county that prosecutes criminals.

No blame on this specific incident , but why is anyone shocked . 016 is a joke poor leadership , outside units that were fully doing proactive work hate coming into 016 . Carjacking unit , PRT , gangs , etc . Even Ph1 1699 on first watch told Ph1 quit hovering above a car that was flying going about 90 on montrose , Ph1 told him pound sand were aren’t doing jt for a pursuit but for officer safety at this time .
Officers in 016 always liked throwing shade at tac and PRT arrests .

So what do you think? When a Beat car from CPD, Niles or Park Ridge puts a stop on these guys? Will it A. Go into a full blown vehicle chase or B. Go into an active shooter scenario? You young guys reading this make a choice? And remember if you’re qualified to carry an AR rifle it’s locked trunk of your vehicle per Department orders? Sorry but since Prickster and Brandon allowed Kim FOXX to control the arrests this is why the bad guys are carrying heavy weapons and not the good guys?

Not sure where you are getting the info but 016 sheets are full, 3-4 rapids, wagon, and a whopping 7 to 8 FTO's on 2nd and 3rd each with no PPO's to teach traffic crashes to. Shouldn't be a training district.

I’m long retired and not from CPD at that, so maybe I should keep my trap shut, but I wonder how this would workout if someone tried to intervene. If an armed citizen approached it would three on one, and the three are sociopaths, hardened to the ways of street combat. The citizen would lose this fight. As someone else here opined that snipping them from the second floor window with a deer rifle, or worse yet, an AR is going to lead to a world of hurt for the citizen.

If a patrol happened on these three it would be three semiautomatic rifles against pistols. How’s that going to work out? But, let’s say the patrol happened to approach these three when they were driving away. If the cops are smart, they would call it in, not follow, or chase. If the cops did chase we all know how that would work out.

Seems this had the best outcome. No human was injured and the savages got away with “just” property.

Retired former resident of Bt. 1611 here. I NEVER saw the police in my nerighborhood. During the day, or coming home and walking my dog at night. Ill grant you that a lot of my neighbors were the police and would have called 911 if necessary, but the response times were always around 20 minutes. From what I have heard, it is even worse now. Keep your cars parked in the garage...It seems like overkill to keep an armed guard standing by to steal a converter. They likely knew they were in a police neighborhood. These theives may be dangerous. Be careful out there. If you dont already have one, get a big dog. They are a good distraction to let lose while you take aim at an offender.

016 1st watch has always been a misfits dumping pile. The 1699 incident where the LT attempts to terminate PH1 pursuit on air is just one of many. Here's another one. Drag racers going through the district down Irving Park Rd. Doing their usual stupidity squealing tires and honking. A freshly promoted(from ET's) female sergeant comes on the air, her voice trembling, and say "016 district units roll your windows up, lock your doors and stay in the car".
Partner says this take officer safety as well as cowardice to another level. We just chuckled.

I totally agree with the statement, the old school policing has been murdered by these socialist/communist politicians. If you do police work and it goes sideways, which it will the COcPA will screw you over 6 ways till Sunday. Even if it doesn't go sideways they will still screw you over, their answer is fire everyone, just ask the 100's of callback prisoners currently. I'm sure there are many that should be there, but way more that should not. As taxpayers we should hold our politicians accountable at the voter. booths, but we don't and that is why we are at the point that we are. This mayor despises the police more than Larry did, and has let COPA run a muck on the police. Screw this mayor and the majority of politicians, especially FAT F*ck Priczter. Save your job, freedom, and paycheck.

016 got blessed with a Santa clause look alike short king LT that makes entire 1st and 3rd watch miserable. He will punish you for any proactive work. He is afraid to approve trr and will continue to reject it till 2nd watch takes over. Sgts are afraid to question that travesty as they are all merit. POs with a simple low level trrs have 4 rejections, good enough to get rule 14 as each rejection/change gets saved and reviewed. Santa clause is also very generous when it comes to pulling spars and CRS for any low level / no harm done pettiness....

It's survival of the fittest now. The current state of affairs has nothing to do with leadership and everything to do with politics and voting. The far-left democrats control every aspect of government in Illinois, as such, they have the most damaging impact on law enforcement, with their soft-on-crime, oppressive, anti-police legislation. Criminals have no fear and cops are handcuffed.
Leadership in 016 is actually saving cops from serious reprisals for trying to work. We've been hearing for a while now to do nothing and let it burn, unfortunately it also applies to 016, because consequences don't recognize district boundaries.

It wasn't just Eagles fans booing Swift, it was a large majority of the crowd. In my opinion, they weren't booing her, they were booing the NFL and the networks for constantly showing her and her reactions as if she and Kelse's relationship was as big, if not bigger, than the game. Fans are just tired of it.

Traffic stops are down, Terry stops are down, foot chases are down, car chases are verboten, arrests are way down. What did the liberals expect. They wanted " constitutional policing" but they get to decide what that means, not the police officer and certainly not the judge. Tens of thousands do not come to court so the court sends them a postcard. Tens of thousands walking the streets with open arrest warrants. No warrant men in the districts for a long time, and with way less police and citizen interaction the warrants go unenforced. Nice dystopian society the liberals are building. But, they are getting what they want ; less black men in jail.
