Fifty New Cops!
Hooray!!! The manpower shortage has been solved!!!
Twenty-one Illinois law enforcement agencies, including Chicago and numerous suburban departments, will receive nearly $26 million in federal stimulus money to hire or rehire 106 police officers.
The money is part of $1 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds that will help pay the salaries and benefits of 4,699 police officers nationwide. Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder today announced the money would be distributed among 1,046 agencies throughout the country.
The city of Chicago is slated to receive more than $13 million for 50 entry-level police officers. Calumet City will get more than $1 million for five officers.
That will cover the retirements from March of two years ago! We can't wait to meet these new highly trained officers in another year or so. By which point we should be another thousand or so officers short.
Color us underwhelmed.
Color us underwhelmed.

ok so we're getting 50. rather miniscule but at least it's something..for now...the question is how quickly they can get the ball rolling here. get those recruits in there, so they can get on the streets asap...how long do we think it'll take for the money to flow, and the academy class to start? the way this city is, who knows.
50? Holy fuck, we’re saved! Is this in addition to what “J-fraud” promised us?
• Chicago Police officials are hoping to hire up to 150 officers this year with federal grant money, Supt. Jody Weis said Tuesday.
In the meantime, Weis is putting about 300 additional officers on the street this summer by shifting them from desk jobs or paying overtime with federal grants.
From an SCC article last month.
Can someone please, just please verify (as in cold hard PROOF!) how many Duty availability or Shift checks were cut? That’s a decent way to accurately count how many SWORN we actually have. Maybe one of these days we can figure out where our budget is actually going!
What the hell is there left to say? This shortage is fucked up.
Boys and girls be extra careful out there.
50 more chumps that should've pursued employment in ANY other line of work. I wouldn't wish this job on my worst enemy. Thank God I'm at 70% of my sentence - I can do the rest standing on my head.
1,763 short by next year lol.

This guy should move out of this stupid country and go to France. Listen to this dickhead.
Does anyone know what the expected number of retirements in November is going to be?
How does 13 million equate to 50 officers????
Thank God!!! Chicago got the money in order to buyout J-Puds contract
So does this mean another test soon? I don't know how many officers the CPD is down but I have seen guestimates on this blog from 700-6000. My question is when will they test? I have been waiting almost 3 years. I am sick of waiting and I want to get on. Somehow I have a feeling that the money will end up in the Daley clan coffers and after being set aside for the Olympics.
God Bless the CPD and nobody else?
I didn't like Tax and Spend, bang the fat girl Clinton, but at least he gave us cose to 500K police officers like he said he would...Hey Obama...You want to be Clinton so badly, try that for starters....
hey, at lest we get some money. New York got nothing. The Obominator remembers.
I'd rather have ONE MORE SEISER!
13 million? don't let bubblehead get near that money.
Hey Rocky... Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
.
wow! that stimulus cash is really working! phewwwwwwwww i feel safer already!
I would like to extend a whole hearted fuck you to the off duty 023 Tact guy who was a complete and total asshole at the scene of his "accident" late Monday night. You're a disgrace.
Calumet City will get more than $1 million for five officers.
WOW!!! Cal City cops get $200,000 a year? Holy shit!!!
MORE MONEY FOR THE LITTLE SHIT mAYOR TO REDIRECT INTO HIS POCKETS......
ENJOY YOUR OLYMPICS AND UNSAFE STREETS SHITCAGO.
After a undercover cocaine kilo purchase a sgt and po moved in to take down the target. The target seeing the sgt approach drew his gun and pointed it towards the sgt, the po shot the target, taking him down. Good job officers!
Keeping in mind that it is not the federal governments responsibility to hire city workers, this is bullshit. How the Mayor is unwilling to release funds to protect this city and its residents is completely unacceptable. In his mind he probably doesn't want anymore citizens allowed to carry concealed.
Oh well I guess take what we can get........sad state of affairs
Oy! I'm so happy I can plotz!
What a joke! The manpower crisis is going to cost citizens and officers their very lives and nobody in power cares.
Please use caution on the street and always respond 99 to two man assignments.
This Clinton program is a joke. The cities and villages hire cops and then when the money runs out they fire those same cops. That is how the program has worked.
Don't let little things like manpower and assistance get in the way of providing emergency response to the citizens of Chicago.
Remember, you are all warriors and "together we can"!
Officer safety is NOT paramount on the CPD!
Who cares if there is a 2,000 sworn officer deficit???
What a Joke, but I bet 150 cops will be detailed the next time Obama comes to town.
Wow that will cover the Obama Detail.
At least Bill Clinton's brand of Socialism resulted in a real meaningful federal grant, resulting in thousands of officers being hired onto the CPD.
That's $260,000 per new officer. Do a few weeks at the academy, plus the salary for a new recruit, really cost that much?
After last week's character assault on Law Enforcement, this is the ultimate slap in the face to the men and women in blue.
Chicago is more prepared for the 2016 Olympics now, more than ever.
The ranks of the CPD and CFD have never been more demoralized or gutted in their collective historys'.
Attrition has not even begun to affect this shortage, just wait until the contract is finalized and we are raked over the coals.
Two officers per district will make a tremendous impact on the struggling watches.
Magic math!
JFed promises 200 new officer this year (2009). 46 are in the Academy....we get a grant for 50 police....are those 50 police in 20010 or tp help pay for part of the non-existant 200....or adding 50 to the original 200 for a total of 250.....but we still only have 46 of the newly/better prepared super ppos...
I propose immediately implementing a new unit called SURGE.
Survive
Unite
Retire
Grieve
Edify
Calumet City will get a million bucks for 5 cops? Am i reading that right? So that's $200k/each, or is this spread over a period of more than a year?
The city was counting on enough to get 300 new coppers and they are only going to get 50. Age 55 to retire. Hmmm lets see that means that there will be no time off allowed for at least a year.
O.T.
Did I hear something about a change to the use of force policy? In regards to when we can fire our weapons? If true, I can only imagine because of the spike in police shootings. Let's change the policy and not consider the root of the problem= typical cpd thinking. I would expect a lot more retirements if this is for the worse. The brass have gone too far if they are even considering jeopardizing our safety now.

Not that is a big surprise, but the commanders application as of two days ago, had no deadline.
But yesterday Ladner sents out an email saying if you want to be considered for the first round, you need to deliver an original application in person by the 7th august. NOT that I had any chance of making it since I cant even spell meriit or clowt, but it will be tough to deliver it from 1500 miles away....
50, well 30 will probably go to 003 since they still have 30 openings, I can't believe nobody wants to bid there..
Maybe Lillie needs to switch to a Ronald McDonald costume and start passing out happy meals and Mcflurries...
This is an insult to all the people like me who want to become a Chicago Police Officer. When will I have my chance to join the boys in blue?
If cops were rabbits, we might really have something here. But they aren't going to start multiplying every few months, so nothing will change anytime soon.
Remember those days when they were hiring 200 a month for a year and half?
And this was under H. Washington. Im as honky white as a ghost, but this city was better off under Harold......
These recruits won't really be effective for anything until they get off probation 2 years from now!
Who is running this dumb ass Police Department!
They are just fooling the public and themselves and putting other Officers in real danger due to no backups!
Off Topic. What ever happened to the Pension Portability option? Did the Mayor steal that too?
It looks like SOS wanna be and snitch, now in 023, acted a fool at a off duty accident the other night. He should have been fired years ago. Former SOG
Instead of hiring 50 new officer why dont they just put the roughly 200 officers they have on the firing line (who committed no crime) back on the street!

I think it was stated that this will cover at a minimum, 3 years of pay. With that said your looking at:
$260,000.00 per person
-$43,104.00 first year
-$57,396.00 average of second year
-$58,896.00 third year
-$58,896.00 fourth year
leaving $41,708 left over. take out duty avail/uniform from that for 4 years ($18,880) and you have $22,828 left over.
$22,828 x 50 = $1,141,400.00 or approximatly 3 years of pay for a Sup. at $380,466.00 a year.
...wait a minute...

Your math is bad:
$13,000,000 divided by three years and then dividied by 50 officers equals $86,666.67 per officer, per year.
I can tell you were 'hooked on phonics' when you were in math class.
Right now, there's nothing that's going to help in either Chicago or Calumet City but Federal troops. They are all busy in Iraq and Afghanistan battling the other invisible armies.
Watch how fast the 55 year old coppers will retire! 50 is like nothing when we have 100"s retire every year!

I stopped a buick last week that almost broadsided me in my marked car. The asshole driving it,acted like a total jag then when I asked jagboy for his license he gives it to me with his police i.d.! I asked the asshole why he did not just tell me in the first place his reply! "I am undercover and don't want to blow my cover"! To him go blow your boss!
Quote Obama...
I don't have all the facts in this case, BUT, the police acted stupidly!
translation:
regardless of the facts;
cops are wrong!
white cops are racist!
Thank you Mr president, you have showed YOUR true colors!
Fellow officers, this is a teaching moment. The marxists are in charge and you are their target!
50 new cops! Now if we could just add in all the kiss ass valets, drivers, and assorted butt boy "bodyguards" we'd be up to 125 or so. How about it Daley and Burke? Give up your servants for the good of the community.
Clinton's "grant" was an abject failure, paying only for the first year of an officer's salery. Most cities would'nt take the money because they couldn't afford to continue paying the officers after the first year. Smoke and mirrors.
Two days ago my kid got his letter to take the power test 23 Aug.
The federal grant is a multi-years program. We get a certain amount each year for the new guy. Usually with these grants we get the training and 100% of the salary the first year, than it goes down the next year.
Seeing how Daley is getting money for police offciers he didn't hire when he promised, its a real good deal for him.
Can anyone downtown tell us how much money we turned back or didn't get from grants due to the confusion J-Deds people? I know its in the millions.
This is an insult to all the people like me who want to become a Chicago Police Officer. When will I have my chance to join the boys in blue?
Dude wake the f up. Go to the burbs or the state. If this site hasnt convinced you to do that you are a moron.

Oh, COOL; Chicago police are getting new guidelines on use of force and will be able to shoot at fleeing vehicles.
Commentators have already noted this mirrors the FBI's use of force guidelines. (surprise)
Oh, please; if we're going to get FBI rules, could we get their one hour a day to work out on company time? Huh, huh, please? Can we? Huh?

Oh yeah, its legit...gotta first hire a consulting firm to perform a job analysis, then we gotta hire a firm to offer the test, then pay waaaayyy too much for a test, then rent test space, then pay for test grading, then pay for an alderman's pool, perhaps finish updating ike corothers' house, then spend something on millineum park,....um, convet some of michael reese into condos, then, and only then, will we be able to properly train a recruit. Dare i say we need MORE to hire even one single recruit!
I don't know much about CFD, but are they short too? Last night in 011 there were EVENTUALLY 3 ambulance crews there for 7 bodies. Either a busy night or they are as short handed as we are. Since the citizens don't give a shit if we are short, maybe they'd like to know that if you get hurt in this hell hole your ambulance may never come.
Does anyone know what the expected number of retirements in November is going to be?
i've heard 370, but only from word of mouth. i don't think anybody will know til november comes. Some people have counted that 23 people can retire in 016, in nov. anybody else?

Be careful what you wish for there, young buck! Being a punching bag for the Stuttering Prick is nothing to look forward to.
Besides, if they're only looking for 50, I'm sure the Daley Crime Family already has that many waiting to infiltrate the ranks of the Chicago Police Dept. for future criminal conspiracy cover-ups.

If your daddy or uncle ( alderman ) told you to take this job 'cause you'll get a fluff job after graduating from the academy F-U !!!
If you take take this job to make a difference in the everyday lives of chicago citizens. I commend you but caution words I will also state, that for every 10 hard working officer who goes about his career doing a job to the best of his/her abilities their is a political hack ie; son/daughter/nephew whatever will always get ahead of you in duty selection ( narcotics, specialized units ) and PROMOTIONS !!
This is the reality of modern day law enforcement IN the city of big shoulders. If you come on this job knowing that you may never get promoted and have to work for members in positions of leadership with no skills to lead us or desire to do so. Then I welcome you to sit in the squad car next to me and we will be the POLICE.
Boy, such a difference from what they portray in the media and what you read here. If you lived in a box and just listened to everything they say, everything would be just fine. Nothing to worry about.
To the posts wondering if and when the city will have a new test for officers: God Bless you but you really should know that the situation in this department, and city for that matter, are so F.U.B.A.R. that if I were you I'd seriously reconsider. I'm on my downward slope with light at the end of the tunnel visible but I would never consider coming on this department now. J-Fed and King Ritchie have fucked this thing up so bad it will take a long time and a concerted effort to recover. With their checkered past history I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
J-Fed will take the money and run after his contract is up in the not too distant future and Ritchie will not run again if he doesn't get his cherished Olympics. They'll simply walk away leaving the city and this department in virtual ruins.
Does this mean there is going to be a new test or are they still hiring from a 3 year old test?

money will be in about 2 or three months. I think the first class will be in the end of january. that way they dont have to pay the november and feb uniform checks. they will graduate in july of 2010.
Sneed says that, along with the rest of us, all fifty can start blasting away at passengers in fleeing vehicles.
Go get 'em, warriors!
50 new coppers, That is 2 per district. One of the 2 will be detailed downtown because uncle daddy will demand it. The other new recruit will be put on the tac team so the world can see what a bright young lass or laddy is with pink furry handcuffs and all.
In the mean time where have all the policemen gone. Wasn't there a song like this?

50 new P.O.'s and 48 will be clout babies who had a call put in for them! The whole system is corrupt like that. "YOU GOTTA GET YOURS BEFORE I GOTTA GET MINE" A wise man once said it's all about who you know and who you blow! Since I dont know anyone and I surely wont blow I guess we all know where I am bound for? WOW! Only Chicago could this continue to happen!
50 new cops just in time for the olmpics WOW! now Shit-cago is really gonna be safe!
Get more range time people...We can now shoot at fleeing felons in vehicles!! About freaking time !!
27th ward alderscum Walter Burnett is a complete moron.
hey scc, this is just a small cut out of an article that was on abc7chicago.com. I guess weis changed the use of force police to actually give us more flexibility.. ill admit, its a plus.
"After this weekend, Chicago police are allowed to shoot at drivers or passengers fleeing the scene in cars in felony cases.
Roderick Drew, spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, told ABC7 the new deadly force policy was put in place by Police Supt. Jody Weis and will go into effect this weekend." from abc7chicago.com
The 13 million will go for the hiring of 50 new PO's. That will free up 50 veteran PO's to be assigned to the Daley Private Dept. You know the Dept. that chauffeurs Daley's pathetic, stutterin' ass around. The one that hauls his wife's nasty personality ass around. The one that drives his drunken kids and their friends around Rush St. And the rest of the money can go to the Daley fund to get him a hair transplant for his soon to be bald noggin. The he can get his cigar chompin' teeth whitened. Or maybe he is just enured by his homeless chic look. Fuck ALL the Daley's.
Fuck.......I've been trying to get in since 2006...WTF???
Cooter said.looks like jfed mis-spoke,daley just spank jfed,no shOoting at cars.hahaha.now who runs the police dept
Math again!
50 new cops divided by 25 district divided by three shifts = .66 officers per watch.....but if you dived that by 7 day off groups and take 5/7 of that it equals .48 police per shift per day....unless you're in a ten hour a day district...than three day off groups are off each day so it winds up 4/7 =.38 police officer per shift.
So that granted us someone to relieve us for our lunches?
What happened to "the plan to hire 400"? This is only 12.5% of that.

50....plus the 46 they have ready to come out......divided into the dist AFTER they spend time at the training dists.....that means we each get 3 or 4 new PPO's!! Problem solved!!! Yeah right

The idea is to NOT hire officers so that our pension fund will NOT be replenished. He wants to bust the CPD and CFD. He does NOT want the city to contribute to our very well-deserved pensions. This city will only get safer when he is out of office and HOPEFULLY we get someone with brains and is NOT CORRUPT.

We may have enough police if you disband TRU (Get rid of that sorry ass excuse for a Commander Ryan), the Gang Unit and MSF. Why is Ryan the Commander of TRU? He was the Commander of 001. What the fuck does he know about deploying manpower and crime? His merit ass never did any time in any real District. Neither did Roti for that matter. Ryan can march in a parade and talk a good game and he may participate in the north side parade, but WTF?
Why take the police out of the Districts just to redeploy them? Leave them in their Districts where they can do real police work every day, not just every deployment dat they are there. Hit or miss teams are all that they are. Gang arrests are down 60% and every major shooting that has occured, TRU was assigned to that area and had no impact what so ever.

Let go of the idea that the Obama administration gave a drop in the bucket, why has the daley administration not hired? Why have our property taxes risen and our community services deminished, i.e. having enough police to patrol all of our neighborhoods? Why do so many people keep reelecting the same machine politicians who are beholden to daley? Our city deserves better, our neighborhoods should say thanks federal gov't for the handout but why has our local government failed us? When will you all wake up, the enemy is in front of all of us, and yet we critize and tear apart everyone else but the main puppetmaster i.e. shortshanks/aldermen.

Fraternal Order of Police Chicago Lodge #7
Current Update
Wednesday, July 29, 2009
CONTRACT ARBITRATION DEMAND 07/29/09
Early this afternoon a notification was hand-delivered to our offices informing us that the City of Chicago has initiated the impasse resolution procedure set forth in Section 28.3 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. What this means is that our contract will be going to Arbitration. Obviously the issue at which we are the furthest apart is wages, and generally, our history shows us that the Lodge fairs well when an outside party determines our wage scale. We have no reason to think we will not have the same experience this time.
The next steps here will be to agree to who the arbitrator will be and what issues and terms we will advocate. The work that we have done in negotiations over the last two years will serve us well as we present our proposals to the Arbitrator.
The 55 and out with health insurance is unaffected by this development. Officers should be able to fill out their PAR forms electronically after August 1 to take advantage of this hard fought benefit.

Completely off topic, but has Bear ever been found? Haven't heard anything about the poor dog lately.
There should be a new test. The Department has really been hiring some mopes for many years because so few people took the test once the economy improved. With the economy being bad again, there will be thousands taking the test again and hopefully a better pool of people who actually have the possibility of being good cops.
50 more cops need to be deployed at Jarvis/Greenview to catch the animal who slit the throat of a resident and left him for dead. He's in critical condition at St. Francis after being discovered in a pool of blood early yesterday morning. God help all of us.
But yesterday Ladner sents out an email saying if you want to be considered for the first round, you need to deliver an original application in person by the 7th august. NOT that I had any chance of making it since I cant even spell meriit or clowt, but it will be tough to deliver it from 1500 miles away....

If you seriously want to put it in:
1)Call a friend and get info for what they want on the application.
2)Type it out and email, fax, or ecpress mail it to your buddy.
3) Have your buddy bring it down to where it needs to go.
Its doable if you really want to put it in.
OUR CONTRACT IS GOING TO ARBITRATION!! FOP WEBSITE
Off Topic... It's official! According to the FOP website, we are headed to a long arbitration process against the City. Years ago, the current Donahue regime was voted in by majority and their big PROMISE was NEVER to allow our contract negotiations to lapse beyond term, nor to EVER go into arbitration as our previous contract did. Had our current contract been ratified 26 months ago when the economy was still bullish, we ALL would have something big to show for it. Now, we will be guarenteed SHIT for a raise, retro, and benefits other than the small bone Daley has throne those approaching 55 yrs. Thank you FOP for your empty promise. YOU ARE A PACK OF LIARS AND SUCK THE BIG ONE. IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE IN FOP LEADERSHIP.
West end of 008 today M/4/20-25black ford econoline van flashed two young girls around 60th & Nagle. This is the third day in a row last two by hale park all around 1600hrs. Great job by Helicopter 008th beat cars, a Detective and off-duty P.O. in responding. Maybe 008th District could put out a community alert.How about a tact team?The offender better pray the victims parents dont find him before we do. To the poster that said N.Roti never worked in a real district I guess 1986-1993 in 007 doesn't count.
Chalkie visited 017 this evening!! See ya shit head!!
Just a small point to ponder. Let's say that 250 people take advantage of the health care at 55 and retire. That is like eliminating an ENTIRE district.

I would like to extend a whole hearted fuck you to the off duty 023 Tact guy who was a complete and total asshole at the scene of his "accident" late Monday night. You're a disgrace.

I stopped a buick last week that almost broadsided me in my marked car. The asshole driving it,acted like a total jag then when I asked jagboy for his license he gives it to me with his police i.d.! I asked the asshole why he did not just tell me in the first place his reply! "I am undercover and don't want to blow my cover"! To him go blow your boss!

0918,
I agree with you, but a change in FOP leadership? One, that's an oxymoron and two, FUCK the FOP! It's time to vote to decertify that USELESS "union"!
I'm still ROFLMAO at the most hilarious satire I've read in months. It concerns the Cambridge, MA brouhaha with Harvard Prof. H.L. Gates and Sgt. James Crowley, Cambridge PD.

I e-mailed a copy to Jim Crowley, Cambridge PD.
Anyone know what cal city cops make?
They are getting 1 million for 5 cops, thats $200,000 each. We are getting 13 million for 50 cops. Thats $260,000 each for us.
Do we make that much more than Cal City cops that Chicago gets $60,000 more per cop? I know, our stellar training costs more....
Just wondering
ot
Not that is a big surprise, but the commanders application as of two days ago, had no deadline.

Why can only Capt's & Lt's access the commander package on CLEAR, when the e-mail went out to blue shirts like me??
It's not like we never had/have any Commanders made from sgt's or blue shirts...
Cam Someone tell me why every one is ' beefin up' manpower on Fri & Sat only and not on Sun. You know, NOT every one goes to church on Sunday and crime is still happening!! I call Sunday night Round 3...
If the gang banging shooting assholes are awake on Sunday Why are the EXEMPTS 'sleeping'?
Crime of the weekend ....not only two days...
Crime of the day....say what? ha!!!
Do you read this blog. If you want this job so bad, there are probably at least 4000-5000 copeers who will let you have their job, including me. I'll go drive a garbage truck. At least that garbage doesn't talk back, fight or point a gun at you.
When you took this job, did you think people weren't going to talk back, fight, ot point a gun at you? You big wus bag!

Here is ANOTHER MORON . .
READ the below post STUPID . . .
”Arbitrator Edwin Benn has come right out and said that NO POLICE OR FIRE UNION will come out ahead in arbitration financially because of the economy. In many ways it would be best to just wait out the economy even if it takes 2 or 3 more years.”
You are another "5 year wonder idiot without a clue ". You have no idea what contract negotiations are like with FIRE or POLICE unions. We are NOT the fucking Chicago Public School Teachers Union in that they have the right to STRIKE ! !
Now we are going to arbitration; AND, if you READ THE NEWSPAPERS you DUMBFUCK – you would see that many people are losing their jobs. Because of idiots like you pressuring the crack FOP contract negotiating team we will get absolutely F-U-C-K-E-D in arbitration at this point in time.
You should have learned how to be patient punk.
Calumet City will get more than $1 million for five officers.
WOW!!! Cal City cops get $200,000 a year? Holy shit!!!
7/29/2009 06:59:00 AM
/////
the program is set for a 5 yr span where this grant pays for the first three years and the municipalities pick up the tap for the other Two years... So 200k is just about right for 3 hrs and 13 million is Fair for the 50..
Unfortunately, the administration didn't come through for Chicago with only 50 officers-
I believe that VEREEN should be hung.
Maybe he is hung and that's why he chose a horse.

mOPES JUST LOOK AT THE "THINK TANK KIDS"!
We may have enough police if you disband TRU (Get rid of that sorry ass excuse for a Commander Ryan), the Gang Unit and MSF. Why is Ryan the Commander of TRU? He was the Commander of 001. What the fuck does he know about deploying manpower and crime? His merit ass never did any time in any real District. Neither did Roti for that matter. Ryan can march in a parade and talk a good game and he may participate in the north side parade, but WTF?
Why take the police out of the Districts just to redeploy them? Leave them in their Districts where they can do real police work every day, not just every deployment dat they are there. Hit or miss teams are all that they are. Gang arrests are down 60% and every major shooting that has occured, TRU was assigned to that area and had no impact what so ever. The stupid led by the stupid.
7/29/2009 05:40:00 PM
//////////////
it's so obvious that you work in TRU ...
I work in a District in Area Two and TRU been good to us. Matter of fact, TRU with Ryand is better than any 'other' times. As far as where they need to go, I've heard supervisors mention that TRU is good with sending proletariat where ever they're needed . I can't complain about them helping us in 004 or 003 at the borders..
You can't stop every damn shooting but I look at it as safety in numbers. May be you need to leave TRU and come and work with us in 004 and see how it feels to see support units in Terror town... Good luck...
The deal is-the grant covers starting salary and BENEFITS (pension, raises, all costs) for years 1-2-3 for each officer. Department had to agree to keep officer and pay for year 4. After year 4 they can then be laid off if department chooses or remain on. Grant allows replacement of officer with a new hire if during first 3 years officer resigns or quits. CPD asked for 150 officers from grant, 340 plus other cities and villages from Illinois submitted requests for 1-whatever officers they could fiscally support in future. Only 21 of the 340 plus cities and villages in Illinois received funding, 21 towns awarded money were based on crime stats and fiscal health.... CPD got the 50 (maximum allowed due to nationwide demand) Rockford got 15, Cal City got 5, other towns from 21 total in Illinois got 1-2-3 officers depending on situation. I wrote the grant for local I work for so I got the bad news yesterday-we got none along with most towns. I think grant gave Illinois total of 106 officers total.....everyone facing same situation-not enough help. Good luck CPD guys-50 not going to solve your problems. Better than nothing I guess. Stay safe and alert and help each other out is all we can do for now...
CAN I GET AN EVENT NUMBER?

Rodell VEREEN, age 50, was arrested by police in Horry Co., SC for having sex with a horse.
He was charged with trespassing and aggravated buggery after the owner, armed with a shotgun, caught VEREEN en flagrante delicto with her stabled mare "Sugar".
I believe that VEREEN should be hung.

Any man having sex with a horse MUST be "hung" to begin with.

You're a fkn idiot... why the fk should anyone waste their time, because you said so?... I dismiss immediately anything with a URL and no other wording than "read this".
Neither did Roti for that matter.
Really, I'm sure Nick spent more time in Englewood, then you have on the job.
True, I do like to see and help we get here in 22. How come no one is talking about how much crime is up including HOMICIDES, AGG. BATTERIES, ROBBERIES etc. We are the tax payers Ald. Rugai! How come you don't hear about how fucked up 22 is nor do we hear about the Commander who is a nice guy but is a wuss! How about 9? My kid works in 9 (not CPD) and it is fucked up! Ryan needs to go. TRU needs to go. We don't need them to come in and help then run. leave the police here to do their job and we won't need bullshit units with a Commander. You can put that money back in the fucking budget and get me a car with air!
I forgot to add, if the District Supervisors and Commanders are being held accountable, why not the person who is in charge Dugan? What exactly is his job and how much of this is he accountable for? Micro manager!
Cooter u sold out. Tact in 001? Give me a break. Thought you were better than that. You must be drinking Jodys kool aid now
sounds like a wise man to me, call it well earned rest after the SOS debacle?
When you took this job, did you think people weren't going to talk back, fight, ot point a gun at you? You big wus bag!
No, I expected that I could do my job without fear of a federal indictment for "civil rights violations" five years after some shitbag beefed on me. I never expected that my personnel file would be released to the media. I never expected the City to sell the police down the river every time a reverend starts screaming.
find a different career path!
Will you please pass the jelly!

How does 13 million equate to 50 officers????
7/29/2009 01:21:00 AM
I think it was stated that this will cover at a minimum, 3 years of pay. With that said your looking at:
$260,000.00 per person
-$43,104.00 first year
-$57,396.00 average of second year
-$58,896.00 third year
-$58,896.00 fourth year
leaving $41,708 left over. take out duty avail/uniform from that for 4 years ($18,880) and you have $22,828 left over.
$22,828 x 50 = $1,141,400.00 or approximatly 3 years of pay for a Sup. at $380,466.00 a year.
...wait a minute...
7/29/2009 09:34:00 AM
They only need 4 years worth. They will have hair gels training them and they will be fired by the fifth year lol.

We also should look to young people, Hairston said.
"When we listen to them about this situation, they're dumbfounded," he said. "They're befuddled. They have no idea why this is all over television. And that should tell us a lot.
-----
Anyone that has teenagers or kids in college knows this. Someone needs to explain this to Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan, Wright, Pfleger (ooooh, I'm getting nauseated just picturing this) that they need to let go.
My guess is that they will not let it alone because they would lose their revenue stream and be forced to get a new life where they can't make a living stirring up useless shit.
---not a cop
" How many did W provide? "
Apparently part of Bush's tax cuts was cutting funding for domestic programs like these that fund crime fighting efforts - the irony is the Democratic Senate wanted to increase funding for police but didn't have the veto power if Bush vetoed their efforts.
http://articles.latimes.com/2007/oct/16/nation/na-budget16
Hope we do get new coppers because I've heard of at least two openings in 016 that could be filled. 1645, Rambo and Tinkerbell, on 3rd watch have NO activity, do'nt go on jobs, stay down on missions/other peoples jobs allnight, and leave early most of the time. I've heard 016 is'nt the busiest place, but I'd feel better if somebody capable was watching my house other than 1st watch!!!!!

Well, screw you. It's a waste of time to go searching for some article and find out its about rabbits with lollipops in their fur, so I'll take a pass on your highly recommended, but of unknown content, links.
I don't recall Bush increasing funding and if I remember, he cut the original COPS program shortly after getting into office. he did however, grant plenty of your tax dollars for the Mexican police to increase their abilities to fight crime:
