Question, how many of these TRU 2 year wonders have gone to 35th Street to work for a boss? Is it true that a 28 year old genius, who is supposed to be a medical doctor (kid you not), went from training in 008, to TRU, and is now working for a boss at 35th Mon-Fri in 5 years? Now her special friend and FTO is the newest Sgt. in TRU. Is it clout or is she just a genius?

22 suspects shot by police this year so far.

Also there was 19 shots fired by the police without somebody being shot.

We are on a roll boys and girls.


Keep up the good work. Don't judge people, let the Lord do that. Just do your job of bringing them to the Lord.

Here is one...and I know FOP reads this. LETS GET OUT OWN MEDICAL INSURANCE!!!!!!!
I know that we can get a better product for what we are paying. What insurance carrier wouldn't love to take on a new customer who has 10,000+ employees. Philly P.D. did it!!! I will even go one better. Pay en extra, say $20 a month and give retirees coverage. We have to look out for our own!! I have at least 10 more years to go and common sense tells me we have to take care of each otherbecause the city doesn't give a shit about us. The reason the city (and the bed fellows at FOP) won't go for it is that all that money we pay monthly, sits there, collecting interest, and claims go out at a snails pace. But yet, the city,again, reaps rewards from our hard work, again, while we get shafted with this crappy medical. Oh yeah, not to mention that the city benefits office employs family members of say, ex-union members and gosh, we wouldn't want to put them out of a job.

I say FUCK the city and get our own coverage. 2013 is around the corner ladies and gentlemen and where will we be then?

Just once I would like the Press to refer to the person shot as the OFFENDER instead of the "shooting victim" It really tans my hide to hear the FOX or even our own wgn news say that the "Victim shot by police" is blah blah blah.
THE OFFENDER IS THE ONE WHO GETS SHOT BY POLICE. THE VICTIM IS TH EONE WHOM THE OFFENDER PREYED UPON.
Pat camden, If you are reading this, would you please tell the press to refer to the persons involved in the correct way?

I used to think my paycheck sucked. Trying to juggle bills, etc to make ends meet.

Until I went to the FOP President School of Paycheck Success!

Yes siree, they teach the power of "VISUALIZATION"

I just graduated and now, am waiting to get my paycheck tomorrow. According to the school's calculations, my check tomorrow should be at least 4x MORE than what I actually report!!

Lt G. is not as bad as his buddy Lt K. over in TRU both clout heavy. They both think they are better than the p.o’s. But Id pick Lt. G. over his buddy any day. At least he won’t try and take your woman. But I think that runs in the TRU blood. Word is the “guy in charge” is a bit of a player himself. He is building his stable with those young “ladies” on his office staff. Hmmm any buddy wanna guess who he has in his cross hairs? Well you don’t really have to, at the next party listen close. Once the “beverages” start flowing he’ll tell you how he’ll be dipping into some salsa. Is there a trip coming up to "seal the deal" hmmmm? Yes Im jealous!

Been reading for awhile now, first time commenting.

I'm a patrol cop for a very small city in Texas. We have patrol, a K9 guy, a part time SWAT team, a few detectives, and that's about it. I might be opening a can of worms, but could somebody explain the roles of Tac Units, Gun Teams, TRU, Gang Unit, ect?

I know these are specialized units, different from regular patrol, but I'm not sure how they fit into the command structure. Do their functions overlap? I know these units are the subject of a lot of jokes, but any responses would be appreciated. Thanks.

Gang, Tac, and Gunteam units are plainclothes officers that don't generally answer service calls, they are free to find guns, dope, gather gang itelligence info, and basically do all this by making traffic stops etc. Tru is a unit, in uniform, that is sent into the busier districts to saturate problem areas of the city. Hope this answers your questions....

Keeping Iraq's Oil In the Ground

Did the U.S. invade Iraq to tap its oil reserves or to make sure they stayed under the sand?

World oil production today stands at more than twice the 15-billion a-year maximum projected by Shell Oil in 1956 -- and reserves are climbing at a faster clip yet. That leaves the question, Why this war?

Did Dick Cheney send us in to seize the last dwindling supplies? Unlikely. Our world's petroleum reserves have doubled in just twenty-five years -- and it is in Shell's and the rest of the industry's interest that this doubling doesn't happen again. The neo-cons were hell-bent on raising Iraq's oil production. Big Oil's interest was in suppressing production, that is, keeping Iraq to its OPEC quota or less. This raises the question, did the petroleum industry, which had a direct, if hidden, hand, in promoting invasion, cheerlead for a takeover of Iraq to prevent overproduction?

It’s also true her FTO (now Sgt. in TRU) was given an ultimatum from his wife to end a two year “friendship” with her or end the marriage. He chose to leave his 6 year old twin daughters and wife for the “friendship”. I’m sure his daughters think she’s a great gal and a hero while they see their dad every once in while.

Read todays Tribune story of the woman truck driver (hired under clout) who has had about five traffic accidents, Maimed a co-worker, hit cars, garages, lamp poles, and is still driving a garbage truck, even though she had no previous truck driving experience.

All with only a one day suspension which she has never served as of yet due to clerical errors.

It's amazing! And we are paying the check for her Experience.

Out of over 3500 applicants, she was one of 200 who were best qualified, even though she had no CDL or experience as a driver.

I bought a car there a few years ago, the manager was named Skip, he was the man to see right off the bat. He set me up with one of their "VIP" sales people. I'm sure that title is just a stroke job, but I was very happy with the price and the whole deal.

For Business Cards try :

Vail Printing. 2525 North Elston Avenue Suite 1 Chicago , IL Phone : ( 773 ) 252 - 2600. Business Types Printers Services

They have the machinery for raised printing on business cards. They have CPD logos, prices were reasonable. Most printing companies have the business cards made by Vail because of the specialized machinery required.

I have made very good business cards on my computer using "Print Shop". You can make a page of ten at a time with Avery stationary.

To the guy asking about Jacob Buick, I suggest you check out carmax.com. I used to buy cars through our credit union and Enterprise Rent-a-Car Carmax was everything they said they were on TV, had a much better selection and were hundreds less than Enterprise.

They fucking destroy everything from neighborhoods to homes to business's and even SCHOOLS. 300 people in class beginning of year, 30 graduating at the end! C'mon people are we that blind that we keep turning the other cheek when it comes to giving these fucs everything while we keep shelling out 5, 6 8K for our kids to go to private schools and we can't even get a decent one where we live so maybe WE can be helped out alittle. Sorry for the long rant but, I'm extremely one pissed off person right now and fed up of catering to those who always getting catered to.

Never posted here before, and I have no idea who SCC is and don't care. He should check his sources. The other day he used the quote, "Make no small plans...," and attributed it to Machiavelli. The quote was actually much later and much closer to home. It is attributle to Daniel Burnham. You could look it up.

That is NOT Garfield Ridge!

That's Clearing!

Garfield Ridge goes to the railroad tracks just a slight bit past 59th Street. The homes in Clearing drop about $50,000 in value once you cross over into Clearing, which is loaded with po' White trash.

So what are we supposeed to be looking for at that address in C-L-E-A-R-I-N-G, Mr Clueless Wonder?

Come and visit us in Clearing and we'll be waiting. Clearing, home of many generations of police officers and fire fighters, home of the Blue.

But sure! Come on over and we'll be waiting for you. WE'll beat your ass into the ground with cornstalks, and then run your ass over with a cow.

Now I have to go and enjoy this lovely day tending to my moonshine still, get some sun on my legs, and put on my daisy dukes for the hoe down later tonight!

I'd disagree, 008 can be saved. It's the bosses. Especially the 1st watch bosses. Most, not all, are idiots, who all have their little clicks. Moral is way down. The cops are good just down in the dumps.

Is there anyplace, anywhere in the patrol division, where the moral of the troops is high? Is it due to the bosses, if so who are they and what do they do that keeps the moral high.

But maybe we should not spread this info around. High moral, troops happy, the ivory tower dictators will try to destroy a good thing.

Response in 008 is AWFUL, and has been for years. Obviously, some of the blame has to be placed on the shoulders of the supervision, or lack of it.
One day while passing through 008 I saw an on view fight on the street. A large white guy (bust-out) attacked a weel dressed Hispanic guy who was waiting for a bus. I flagged down an 008th District car that was less than 100 feet away from the incident and informed them of what was happening. They drove right to the location and then drove completely past it, turning off at the first available side street. I only wish I had noted their outside number or beat tag; I would have certainly filed a beef.
I pulled my own car over and handled it myself. If you need help in the 008th District, expect a loooooooong wait. That District has had response problems for quite awhile. No telling when it will improve, as it was known for years back in the day as a white cop "do-nothing" dumping ground, much like 006 was known as the same for black cops. Both Districts have changed, as the economics of their residents have changed. But the old "I ain't doin' nothin" attitudes haven't, AT LEAST NOT IN 008.

Not all the problems in 008 are the result of bad supervisors. Let's be honest, once you leave roll call you are pretty much an independent contractor. The responsibility falls on the officers to take a little PRIDE in themselves and do the job the right way. So what if the watch commander is a political hack. Go out and lock somebody up, get some court time and keep our nieghborhoods safe for our own.

To the person who slammed 008 coppers for being slow to respond...

Get serious, man. Maybe you work in a rinky-dink district where the boundaries are 3 or 4 miles in length or width - max, like most districts. 008 is friggin' HUGE!! We go all the way past I-55 to 38th Street at the north end to 87th Street on the south. From Bell on the east end all the way to Harlem. It takes a half hour to get from one end of the district to the other with all the traffic lights, and at least 15 minutes with lights and sirens.

Also, take into consideration that 008 is the most populous district in the city. If 008 was it's own municipality it would be the 5th largest city in Illinois. That means LOTS of calls for service. 008 has been #1 in calls for police service for the past several years. 008 gets over 100,000 calls for police service a year. Do the math... that's a LOT of calls per day! Every day, 008 has a constant backlog. Every beat car gets 3 or 4 calls right out of the box on 3rd watch and about a third of them are "in-progress" calls. There isn't a day that goes by during the school year where one of the several high schools doesn't have gang fights and batteries going on when school lets out. Bogan, Curie, Hancock, Kennedy... all loaded with the beast and totally up for grabs. Three days out of your 6-day work week you get denied lunch throughout the tour. You have to settle for a quick personal to grab a hot dog or some other fast-food because every time you finish your jobs they have 4 more waiting. But you know-it-alls from other districts have no idea how busy it is. You live in 008 but work in sloer districts or a unit where you are clueless to the massive amount of service calls heaped upon 008th district officers. Bitch and moan all you want, but the fact is that 008's manpower has been pillaged to beef up units like TRU and all the units that go along with summer.... bike patrols, summer mobile, fests, etc, etc, etc.

You people call 008th district coppers "whiners" yet you have no clue how rediculously busy and under-manned it is. If you think it would be such a wonderful place to work, bid in and show everyone in 008 how it's done, supercop.

Questions:

Why didn't the victim flag down the R/O's in the beat car if they passed within 100 feet of him?

Why didn't YOU take immediate action to help the victim?

Have you ever heard of the term "Non-feasance?"

If you're a veteran copper, how did you miss all the numbers pasted all over the marked unit? The beast seems to have no problem getting the numbers!

Could it be that you gave the wrong location to the dispatcher?

Could it be that the idiot civilian dispatcher typed out something different than what you described and the call was dispatched as some kind of bullshit disturbance? (Oh no... THAT never happens!)

Could it be that the situation was over and done and the beat car had 3 other jobs in it's stacking to get to?

Maybe you've twisted the truth as to the actual facts?

Just asking! :-)

FYI for my blue brothers. As someone that was assigned to a federal task force (FBI JTTF) and has recently left. It should be known that there are a bunch of agents (read as wanna-be-cops) that read this site EVERYDAY, and then go around bad mouthing us. Yes, we all know the media trolls the site and are careful not to give them any ammo, the same should be said for the wanna-be's carring fed badges. The feds are also reading. So as Sgt. Esterhouse, from the Hill used to say, "lets be careful out there."

I think you didn't read the post correctly that you are referring to. No dispatcher was called. The poster stated that they passed by the battery and then saw a sqaud car and then told them what was happening. Therefore the squad car did not see what was happening and turned away before having to deal with the situation.
Its called reading comprehension, good luck on the Sgts. test, you'll need it.

What is happening in 008 is just a by-product of our nitwit mayor refusing to allow beat and district boundaries to be updated, according to the calls for service, as they should have been years ago. The last time that the 008th District was re-beated (and the district boundaries changed), it was probably 99% white.

You take the name of a brave policeman and you drag it through the mud for your own disgusting purposes. You use the name of a policeman killed in the line of duty, our friend, someones son, to incite racial hatred and you cannot even spell it right? Is this how you want him remembered?

You Hurt for him? We all dont? None of us post disgusting racial filth in his name, none of us but you. Save that for the cross burning adlolph. Hurt some more for dragging his partner into this. She (a hard working and dedicated officer, ask anyone who worked with her) who through no fault of her own has to carry this pain for the rest of her life. You truly sicken me. I have no words for what I think of you. It is clear who the racist is here. You hurt for him? Fuck you. You are not worthy to speak his name. You hurt for him? Keep hurting, now go see a priest and confess that you defamed the name of a great man in order to further your hateful and disgusting goals. When you are done resign your position. In all seriousness, we dont need you or your kind, you hate mongering racist filth. In your heart you know what you are.

Maria, you are truly brave and a good person to reply as you did. God bless and keep you. I wish I could be as noble and kind hearted as you. We, who remember Eric as he lived, will never forget you in our prayers.

Signed,
One who sees at the police as only one color, BLUE!
