Nice Work
- The burglaries started with gang members using crowbars to smash the windows of stores on tony North Michigan Avenue and elsewhere in the city.
But when businesses boosted their security on the advice of the police, the burglars crashed stolen cars through their doors. The thieves would seize all the loot they could carry and flee in minutes, police say.
On Tuesday, the Chicago Police Department announced charges against four men in connection with the two-year spree. They and other suspects allegedly stole more than $2 million in merchandise and caused more than $500,000 in damage to businesses in Chicago, the suburbs and other cities in the Midwest, police said.
Around 40 heists across the Midwest over two years might be cleared by these arrests. Nice long term investigation there boys and girls.

If we only had more detectives this case could have been closed months ago!
Check the date with the arrest of the 2 mopes trapped in the car.
!
Just run there associates yep the other mopes in the news paper.
So short handed don't want to even comment on shootings!
PPffttt.. whatever, I got two contact cards today, Beat that. :-)
Nice job by 018th R/B/T dicks.
Well Done Coppers
don't use direct energy for gas or electric supply. they started increasing deliver fee per month. lower rate for gas but they hammer you with bs delivery fee. trying to get charges reversed. stick with local gas supplier. no cancellation fees thank god
keep lowering heat and bill kept getting bigger. wtf
1 of the 4 jagoffs is Kenneth Green, Is this the same jagoff that was found not guilty by a Cook County Jury for shooting Danny O'Toole and Scotty McKenna,
Congrats on catching them.
I wonder if there will be any copy cats? Smash and Grab with a car does not take much skill.
Good job Officers.
Did the Times and Trib merge? Clicked on your link which brought up the Times story, at the bottom of their story it said "more" that link then takes you to the Trib story.
A great job , everyone involved, from the paper guy and gals to the detectives,etc deserves a commendation.
Great arrests. Will plea bargain down to lesser charges and get probation. Wanna bet? That's why this job is so totally un-f*cking rewarding. Diligent coppers work hard on investigations only to see offenders walk with a slap on the wrist.
And in no time they'll bee right back at it because in CC there are no consequences.
These clowns steal $2 million, and Al Sharpton steals $4.5 million by not paying taxes.
These clowns are going to jail and the good reverund isn't? Who's more of a criminal ?
Please tell me what Rahms plan is regarding our pensions?
3/03/2015 03:01:00 PM
Well, you see. That's the whole point regarding you Chuey people. You want to vote for someone that hasn't even commented on our pensions. Rahm KNOWS the problem exist. Chuey does not have the resources or knowledge to know what to do with our pensions. Rahm most likely does. 40 years of neglect with our pensions isn't entirely Rahm's fault.
3/03/2015 05:28:00 PM
From an earlier post:
Rahm has had four years to provide a solution to the looming pension problem that Daley and company created. He has done NOTHING except tell police and fire that they need to bleed and they will not get the pension they worked for.
I am approaching the end of my career. In that time I have been shoot at numerous times. I have been stabbed at, spit on and hit with a bat. I have been to the emergency room half a dozen times with injuries sustained while fighting people that want to harm others. I have already bled.
Rahm's first and only solution that he has put forth is to tell me and my fellow officers and fire fighters, who have likewise bled, that we will not get paid what we worked for. Rahm 'most likely has a solution'? I think we can do better than Rahm.
Three things will happen. All the arrested will be released and not convicted. The smash and grabs will continue and the guys they caught and let go last Dec won't be convicted after they are rearrrsted.

Why was this jagoff even allowed to have a court date!?!? Shot two cops?? Still walking around??
Wow, has the CPD changed.

Let' s not even talk about Mitt Romney and his tax dodge shall we?
It was a matter of time I guess. I got into an argument with a retired Detective from area one burglary. I was defending how long it took for these shitsheads to be arrest; they were wearing hoodies causing an identification problem. He said just 30yrs back working coppers had informants. Now, not many police are working the street that way anymore. I told him if you work the street, your chances are you'll be sued, and called a racist. He said if a reliable informant gave info about the next smash type burglary, a stake-out team would be waiting. During a briefing, the team leader would almost always say, "take no prisoners." We are in different universe, I have not heard anyone taking about stakeout teams. The only stakeout I know of, is the IAD fucking copper(s).
(OT) Prayers for this officers family, please back each other up and be careful may this officer RIP!
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/03/04/police-officer-killed-shooting/24359961/
Its done. S.L. has 189. Congrats
Ok shocked the detectives didn't get a refusal to prosecute signed. Glad to see some of them out there still know what work is
Eddy Wod will finally get his meritorious bar.
Reporter doing a live report about the arrests said that as he speaks they learned of another one just happened in a suburban mall? It's a growth industry!
I thought that wa as Safe passage?
Just get it done. And no yellow slips.
Every unit has their hands tied, only about 10% if that high in each unit accounts for the while unit.
Typical Sgt. EW dog & pony show so he could say he did something about it. This guys the best, just ask him. This case is going nowhere these fools will be out and back at it in no time. 4 charged out of 30, not a good batting avg. we've known who all the bad guys are for a long time, just haven't had enough evidence to charge. But Sgt EW had to jump the gun to be center stage
Agreed!
Nice job by all involved.
Great job guys, I wonder how many of these mutts had active LINK cards and all the rest of the benefits from being a poor oppressed minority voters.
On that comment on Rahm V. Chuey.
Rahm has would rather burn MILLION$ than fix the pesion problem for people he hates ad who will not vote for him so he just hooks the union leaders with retirement jobs.
BUT! Somebody has to pin down Chuey down on what he plans to do about the pension problem. He better have the right answer.
gene roy on tv again taking all the credit,
As happens so often the first guy was arrested for something else by beat guys doing their job. Then the rest began to unravel via the detectives and beat guys from other districts. Really nice job.
Keep up the good work. Screw 35th st and Rahm
They can't hold a candle to a real copper
With burglaries going through the roof on the Northwest side, where's the so-called mission teams? Out grabbing nickle weed bag arrests?
The Cook County States Attorney's office will see to it that the men receive probation!!!!!
Nice job boys and girls. Two years of wilding gone unchecked. This never would have lasted two weeks back in the 80's and 90's.
This just shows me how much the department has changed, it's shame full what has happened to this department.
OT:
Justice Deptartment Clears Officer of Civil Rights Violations in Ferguson Shooting
The Justice Department has cleared a Ferguson, Mo., police officer of civil rights violations in the shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager whose death set off racially charged and sometimes violent protests last year.
The decision, which was announced on Wednesday, ends a lengthy investigation into the shooting last August, in which Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Mr. Brown in the street. Many witnesses said Mr. Brown had his hands up in surrender when he died, leading to nationwide protest chants of “Hands up, don’t shoot.”
But federal agents and civil rights prosecutors rejected that story, just as a state grand jury did in November. The Justice Department said forensic evidence and other witnesses backed up the account of Officer Wilson, who said Mr. Brown fought with him, reached for his gun, then charged at him. He told investigators that he feared for his life.
“There is no evidence upon which prosecutors can rely to disprove Wilson’s stated subjective belief that he feared for his safety,” the report said.
The report found that witnesses who claimed that Mr. Brown was surrendering were not credible. “Some of those accounts are inaccurate because they are inconsistent with the physical and forensic evidence; some of those accounts are materially inconsistent with that witnesses’ own prior statements with no explanation,” it said.
Hopefully the "nice long term investigation" will result in nice long term jail sentences for these assholes.
Nice work Gene

JP's head had to explode after spending hours in makeup and not even being on camera.
Is that Lt EW. I thought he told everyone he was making merit last class and was taking interviews for his replacement.
Tommie Adams is already at home. Check his Facebook page. He wants the news to stop using his picture on tv. And what happened to those two arrested in dec downtown? Looks like they are both awol. Dics are looking for them again. Why did the get released in the first place?
Oh my FOP trying to sneak a RAHM in as an endorsement.
DR Dean has a Quandary!!!
Collect a favor from Rahm that might not be paid out, and lose the next election for FOP prez.
Or endorse NO one and remain irrelevant.
Chuy Can't promise anything at this time unless Dr dean wants to work in the County.
Don't forget the board will be swept out as well it is just how it works...
Go head and call him unless you voted at the unknown FOP website. The canvassing at the districts means nothing.No formal rules to see who FOP endorses.
Question of the day what officer put Rahms name in to be endorsed??? Answer he is on the board!It should be in the minutes of the meeting if you feel like asking.

SWAT team being disbanded to part time. Three watches, everyone in CPD uniform and no take home cars. No extra pay will be given and only one training day a month. Will take place by April to prepare for summer. Heard it here first.

Not very smart.
Not very smart on the city's part. Full time team to part time team? Huge liability involved. Less training time especially with the threats of terrorism and active shooter? Who is responsible? I pay a lot of taxes for the safety of my family. SWAT needs to always be trained and ready to go. Please give me additional info. I would like to contact those responsible for tjus decision.

SCC,
Could you please find out about the above statement concerning SWAT? I am a concerned citizen that lives in Lincoln Park and pays taxes up the ying yang. We need a highly trained SWAT team ready to go. I have four little ones in grammar school.

I'd be willing to bet the City is making money on us.
Non city workers don't understand how our 'insurance' works. We pay for insurance, but there's no insurance company. The City pays our bills, at a discounted rate just like insurance companies get. And the City pays a middleman to do the paperwork and handle the phone calls.
Oh, and the best part of this rotten deal is the City is extremely slow to pay and that damages our personal credit ratings.
Hey make sure yall put me on paper for vri. Cha-chinnnn
Gloria Pinex :(--% NO SOUP FOR YOU!
That sgt (youtubes' we are not terminating this chase) is sure looking to make meritorious Lt. Smoke and mirrors.
They are Charged but smash and grabs will continue and all will beat the felonies.
yeah ok hard chargers. Keep locking people up. Operation M.O.E.?? Who comes up with these super cool super secret special operations. We are the POWER OF THE PAW!!! WOOF WOOF WOOF!!! We can never be defeated or broken. We are assimilating everyone into our ranks. Keep locking people up, youll learn soon.

OT,
Our wonderful U.S. attorney general just spent 15 minutes talking shit about ferguson p.d...unbelievable, doesn't mention one good thing about this department. he stated only some statistics, how about telling us where all the violent crimes are occurring and what the racial make up of those neighborhoods are. He has no clue or just doesn't give a shit about the hopeless good folks in these neighborhoods.
(OT) Interesting in ferguson charges for mike browns scumbags family justice be served!

Dear concerned citizen. Please do not allow the smoke and mirrors obfuscate your view of our Department.
If an emergency occurs which demands immediate action, the District officers in your district will arrive and contain the situation and quite often handle it very professionally without the need of a SWAT team. In the event that a SWAT team is needed due to a barricaded individual or similar situation, patrol officers are amply qualified to hold the fort until a SWAT team is assembled and responds to take over the scene.
Even with a full time 24/7 SWAT team, it would take easily half hour tor a SWAT team to arrive to a location where it is needed. SWAT teams in Chicago are specialized teams which arrive upon notification from officers out in the field. They are usually not waiting together for a call unless they are already deployed for missions.
That is my view and opinion which is based on my field experience.

Lt. Ed W.?
Is that Ed Wood? I saw the movie with Johnny Depp.
Start cutting the offenders' hand off and pretty soon thefts by repeat offenders will be reduced dramatically. Also it would be an indicator that someone had a prior theft convection. Look ma no hands.
These clowns steal $2 million, and Al Sharpton steals $4.5 million by not paying taxes.
These clowns are going to jail and the good reverund isn't? Who's more of a criminal ?

To the Lincoln Park resident- you don't need a SWAT. Your children are safe thank God. But you have the best beat Officers in the City working your beat. If God forbid, anything bad happens, they will respond and ensure that your children are safe. Seriously.

City is slow to pay only on the IOD claims. Thats because the city finance committee has to approve the payments and they don't meet that often. BC/BS which administers the city PPO plan pays in a normal amount of time.

Dont worry about SWAT. When anything happens on the street, the deciding factor will be what the first responding officers do.
Yes, the Times and Trib are merging.
There will only be 1 paper in this city.
