What the F!@#????

  • A Chicago Police sergeant was arrested this morning on allegations he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Chicago Police Sergeants' Association, a source said.

    The sergeant, whose name was not disclosed, is a member of the association, the source said.

    He was the target of a joint investigation by the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.

    Officials are expected to reveal more details of their investigation this afternoon.

Supposedly, $600,000 in union funds was diverted to some property scam out-of-state. The sergeant is the president of the Sergeant PB&PA and more officials may be involved.

OT - Judge won't close police misconduct files.
Rejecting the notion that the legal landscape has changed, a federal judge is standing by a ruling that clears the way for the public release of complaints of misconduct leveled by members of the public against Chicago police officers named as defendants in a civil rights lawsuit.

In a written opinion Monday, U.S. District Judge Milton I. Shadur declined to reverse his decision to lift a requirement that complaints of wrongdoing produced during discovery in the suit be handled on an "attorneys' eyes only'' basis.

Shadur said his conclusion that no privacy interests would be violated by the disclosure of the complaint register files — internal records generated by the city in investigations of allegations of police wrongdoing — remained on firm ground.

He based that conclusion on the Illinois Appellate Court's July 20 ruling in Gekas v. Williamson, 2009 WL 2185509, Shadur said.

In Gekas, Shadur said, the state appeals court held that "police personnel had no rights of privacy in the content or results'' of allegations of wrongdoing made against them by members of the public.

Who said anything about Sergeant's being smart?!

Most Sergeants are not that smart, most Sergeants are scared to make a decision in the field!

Like one Sergeant told me, it's up to the Watch Commander, go ask him.

The Watch Commander's response was go see your Sergeant, that's what they are there for!

What the fuck is what I have to say?!

3. Masters. - Mr. Harvard grad with no police knowledge what’s so ever.
4. Every other brown nose of a boss who never did shit on the job, telling you how to do things.
5. The reverends that represent the oppressed scum of the earth
6. The alderman who steal from the working class to enhance and line their own pockets.
7. Shit head Joe on the street who thinks they know the law and call IRPA to beef and give false testimony.
8. The out cry of the injustice from the community or also know as the scum of the earth on a regular basis.
9. The dogs on the watch, who don’t do shit and go home early on a regular basis.
10. The FOP who in reality I don’t know what they really do or don’t do.
11. The pension board members who try to give away money to other fucking thieves who were never the police.
12. No contract in the last few years.
13. Not enough help on the streets or new hires.
14. The media who always is quick to criticize.
15. o yea did I say already NO-CONTRACT

This fuckstick's real and personal property should be immediately seized and frozen until this gets sorted out.

This sounds like a long time joint investigation, so it's not likely this is just another one of Daley's partners in crime trying to create bullshit headlines for Daley.

If convicted, everything seized should be auctioned off and full reparations made to the union's funds.

If that screws up any family he has, you can blame it on HIM folks, NOT the Sgt. membership and the membership should NOT have to foot the bill for this guy's crimes, his FAMILY does.

Most boards of directors have in their by-laws the condition that checks over a certain amount must have two signatures to be valid. The bank will have copies of those signatures on file for comparison ( not that they ever look ). However, I understand the treasurer of the sgts. association is the wife of the president, although having a different name. That might account for the two signatures?? Interesting!!

Prosecutors subpoenaed Sgt. Mary O’Toole, the treasurer of the sergeants’ association, to testify before a grand jury Friday. But when prosecutors learned she was Pallohusky’s wife, she was allowed to go without testifying, sources said.

"Prosecutors said the investigation began in October after the police internal affairs division was alerted to potential illegal financial activity involving Pallohusky".

So they worked on this case for 4 or 5 weeks before arresting him? Either he left behind an eye popping bread crumb trail of illegal activity or this will be another rush to judgment before conducting a complete investigation.

It would not surprise me if 2 years from now they either drop the charges or he pleads to a misdemeanor. It's Chicago, remember?

This is not at all surprising.

I've often said, Unions evolve in to entities that screw the membership under the guise of protecting the membership from being screwed by somebody else.

The lesson is, nobody takes care of you like you and if you're going to leave stuff up to somebody else, trust but verify.

Where was the auditing?

If this guy could get away with doing this, he's probably not the only one doing something like this.

Why are individuals like this allowed to handle this kind of money with no checks and balances?

Maybe because the Union doesn't want any checks and balances?

I really feel for you guys. You're not paid enough to put up with the shit you put up with. You're not paid enough to get shot at and you're sure enough not paid enough to put up with crap like the pension board giving 68 million dollars of your pension money to Vanecko and Davis or stuff like this.

Aren't the big unions mucky mucks paid big bucks to make sure shit like this doesn't happen?

All that being said, as ugly as this looks, all you guys have is each other. Careful of a divide and conquer play here on the part of the politicians, even taking account for this JP (and probably others) being guilty.

Lastly, you guys might hold back your union dues until every penny is audited and accounted for by two independent auditors. As I write that I'm reminded of how Arthur Anderson abetted the Enron fraud.

God bless you all.

Everyone isn't a scum bag. Although, every day it looks more and more like that's not true.

Good people must prevail over the evil that is in Chicago.

Really, best quote so far:

"Did this Sergeant believe he was actually an Alderman and authorized to steal?"

Look, I'm a civilian, and I love you guys. You do a job I wouldn't, shouldn't or couldn't do. That being said, I gotta say the following:

Associations, Unions, Groups, Clubs, etc. always end the same way. They form for one reason, but exist for another. For instance, one of the above says, we've got your back, we'll represent for you. Next thing you know the first order of business becomes, how do we perpetuate and keep the Union, Group, Club going? How do we make this profitable? And the first principle... the reason they allegedly formed in the first place? That becomes secondary. Just like with politicians.

I know the man deserves the presumption of innocence but ,in Chicago, you don't get accused out of thin air of skimming $600k in union money (sorry guys in the eyes of the Union it's not yours it's theres).

Just the fact that the Feds aren't involved in this tells me that this is likely a political move. This is either to bury the pension news, or to retaliate on the guy for standing up from time to time on the mayor.

That's my best guess.

I hope nobody is willing to take the word of IAD and the state's attorney on this, knowing how much and how completely incompetent and corrupt these two organizations are, and knowing that they both work for the bosses of the Cook County Democratic Party.

If JP did it, then he should rot in hell. But coming from IAD and the SA's office? Their credibility is less than ZERO in my book.

Think about this, the Sgt.'s Union is the only one to not accept the city's offer for a contract, being voted down with the support of the Union. The city insisted on no raises and no retro and the Sgt.'s Union told them to go pound sand. Now it must go to arbitration and the city will probably lose, so what do they do? Throw some shit into the mix to sway an arbitrator their way. "Look, their union is crooked, they don't deserve a raise." I know it sounds farfetched, but........this is Chicago.

Then they try and sell you the same test, but "more accurate" for extra, out of pocket. Talk about bullshit and scamming. Someone is benefitting big time on that.

Allow me to stir the pot just a bit and throw another angle at everyone. Is it even remotely possible that this could be a set up? Think about this, the Sgt.'s Union is the only one to not accept the city's offer for a contract, being voted down with the support of the Union. The city insisted on no raises and no retro and the Sgt.'s Union told them to go pound sand. Now it must go to arbitration and the city will probably lose, so what do they do? Throw some shit into the mix to sway an arbitrator their way. "Look, their union is crooked, they don't deserve a raise." I know it sounds farfetched, but........this is Chicago.

11/20/2009 11:34:00 PM

Ya that's an interesting angle but it didn't happen that way. They guy did what they said he did. He stole money for personal gain. The only thing we really don't know is how much.

All union officials from The Sergeants Association have to go. They should be man enough to resign and not make us hold a emergency meeting and dump them all. They either were involved or were too dumb to figure out what was going on. Either way they have to go. We no longer want them in office.

John P was one of the best bosses I ever had. Took care of his troops and taught us a shitload.
A man of integrity as far as I know.
He was always investing, up at 5 am checking the markets and owned a company of some sorts. Got some good stock tips from him over the years.
This sounds political. When does the states atty and cpd get together for anything except a lynching?
ASA's aren't our friends!
IAD could fuck up a 1 car funeral.
The entire police disciplinary process is political!!!
As are the ASA investigations.
This is all Bullshit, I'll bet!
Wouldn't Union fiduciary responsibilities lie with the feds to investigate and prosecute due to conflicts of interest within the CPD!!! How could members of sgt"s union actively investigate their own union w/o a conflict of interest? Especially either locally political or union political? How will this affect any case report that he signed off on as a sgt in area 4???
THIS IS F-UP!

Being a "nice guy" doesn't mean shit. I was in S.O.S. with Jerry Finnegan and truth be told he was always friendly and cordial with just about everyone there.

This is real sad. Once again Chicago and CPD become a laughing stock. A culture of total corruption exists here. And daley wants to end federal oversight of hiring because everything is legit now? Jesus, NOTHING is legit in this town, nothing.

Trust no one, verify everything. Sgt's union is relatively new, that union will change pretty quickly after this, all unions should have checks and double checks and independant oversight of the books.

Thanks to folks down at Chase bank for blowing the whistle. Proves again you cannot trust people around large amounts of money with unhindered access to check-writing, credit cards etc.

And how will this sgt pay a lawyer with all his assets attached? There goes a career and a life down the drain, maybe more than one.

A very sad day for CPD.

Gee there's a surprise....I wonder who is stealing from our pension?

11/20/2009 01:01:00 PM


The usual suspects. Many have stolen from our pension over the years beginning with all exempts. The gold brain was a robbery that the fire dept. here defeated in their pension fund. And of course daley's nephew and friend. Many more have used it as their piggy bank.

and then there are police officers who fake on duty injury to get the 75% tax free. I know of two who did that and laughed and bragged about it. This is Chicago, lying is an acceptable form of communication and grand theft is viewed as a success.

If the lifestyle doesn't match the paycheck for a salaried guy, there usually is unearned, undeclared, and likely illegal income. Not many guys are still subsidized by family or have independent means.

All those city workers with the fancy houses in Saugnash and Forest Glen, when I was growing up, always had me puzzled. Like the guy who gave his daughter a fancy wedding at the Drake, and let was "only" a manager at Streets and Sanitations. Oops, he also was a precinct captain...

You're right. It does sound far fetched. The arbitrator cannot look beyond the issues that brought him into the fray. If Daley wanted to punish the Sgts, he'd find a way to hit them in the pocket book.......like taking away their 30 mins for "paper work" each and every day. But that's already in the works because once we start swiping out, and we will, they will actually have to stay for those 30 mins.

Civilian Post---
What surprises me is how often this happens in many corporations, organizations.
A person is authorized to sign checks, and then they figure, "who's watching ?",,,and they divert funds.
Auditors, Accountants, and just someone who figures why does Spanky have a Mercedes and Go to his summer home in Michigan, and then the idiots wonder, in the age of computerized General Ledgers, digital copies of checks, and electronic banking, people think its easy to cook the books, maybe easier, but also easier to get caught.
How long did this go on ? If it went on for more than two fiscal quarters, there are bigger problems in the organization than a rogue idiot thinking he is a criminal mastermind.

Who are the auditors ?, and how didn't the board realize that a
600 grand line item was not legit.
A Sgt should make a motion at the next meeting calling for each Board Member to explain how they were asleep at the wheel, and for each, absent a reasonable explanation, be forced off the board, they are incompetent and cannot be trusted.

Stay safe Officers,

Ask anyone one of the Board Members how much are in the accounts and how many accounts the association has. THEY CAN'T ANSWER!!

JP was allowed to do all of the bills and access all of the accounts. Blind faith by the Board Members allowed this to happen. If true. They should all resign but will not due to their arrogance.

The check and balance was his wife? She also benefitted from this scheme. She took the 5th (as is her right) but she is the Treasurer to the members and could not explain the accounting practices of the association?

Do not worry though, they are elected officials and will be civilly responsible.

Why did the board members refuse to cooperate and hire lawyers? Yes they did just ask them.

Makes you wonder about their competence.

If this is just a mistake, they could have explained it away and avoided this embarrassment. They can't and this is the result.

Thanks Board.

what kind of idiots allow spouses to be the ones that cross check each other? sounds like some bylaw changes are in order.

I would bet that this is not real uncommon though. it is very hard to get people to volunteer to take on these kind of duties, and ofetn an organization will accept just about any warm body just to get someone.

It amazes me though if the fraud charges are true that police sgts would elect him as president of their union.
