Mass Tact Exodus

Ric Flair moves out, a new "4-times-merit" boss is brought in, he brings in his people, and suddenly everyone wants out:
  • The new tact lt. in 007 is making a great impression. Two whole teams including the sergeants are putting in to-forms to go back to the watch. The Watson crew is not very popular. Just wanted to get this out there before E.O. could spin it that he "dumped " them because there is no way his ego will be able to process this. The one team leads the city in UUW arrests and was told that's not good enough ...... " you need to hit more singles".
  • 2 tact teams in 007 all put in to-forms to go back to the watch. New bosses are not working out...
  • To the hard working officer who so badly wants to work tact. Come to the 7th district because there are numerous tact and sgt positions available. No one is interested in working tact in 007. See you soon.
Twenty officers and two sergeants all wanting out at the same time in one of the busiest districts in the city, an area that regularly leads the homicide count for the past decade. This mass exodus would appear to be what we call a "clue" in these parts. Now, we're aware tact is a voluntary assignment and most of the positions are filled by invite only.

But it's rather telling that movement of this size, and all at one time, all under a new regime would be nodded at by downtown without any sort of fallout. It's not like shootings are down in Englewood.

With summer approaching, they'll use management discretion to keep everyone in the office to fill the VRE demands. They'll tell them that they'll honor their wishes come September or October, but the can will continually get kicked down the road. Unless there's a paddy wagon full of replacements, those 22 officers aren't going anywhere.

The eternal problem...
These green as monkeyshit new bosses parachuting into a district with all their PO-leece know how
and fucking with experienced officers.

Whenever one of these busters starts up with antics like this, tact teams SHOULD leave his ass
naked and afraid by going back to the watch.

It's funny when coppers pull back and dynamite the bridges behind them...

Watch for the new bosses to do silly retaliatory shit like sic inspectors on those guys and
browbeat subordinate supervisors into playing the zero tolerance jackpot discipline game
for petty rule infractions.

You guys had better document everything and record these busters when they start their shit.
Remember... Supervisors take harder licks especially when they're found to be doing things out of retaliation.

Let's tell the real story. Your drinking buddy lt left and now you have to work a full tour. Oh boo hoo. And sorry you didn't lead the city in gun arrests. Run the numbers. Quit believing your own hype. Now workers from the watch have a chance to make tac without kissing captain or lt ass. Maybe he can take you to 012 with him since you are so awesome.

Do you think anyone cares?

It was probably the smartest thing those 20 Cops and 2 Sgts have done!
You know what time you're going to be at work every day, you know what time you're getting off. Days off not canceled. Hopefully they go to afternoons, so they can make a little OT in court. No one breathing down your back for arrests. CR#'s, Lawsuits and Stress level will go down. And the paycheck stays the same!

Meanwhile, 20 new guys and 2 new Sgts will gladly take the place of those leaving. They'll have the "I'll show them" attitude, because they're "smarter". Yet, have NO IDEA what "Part one-n-done" means, "What's a 'gun-n-gone'?" No early duck, hold slips? Not on your life! And still think that they are going places like Narc, Gang Intel, Intel because of "Great Police Work"!!! And not know that they are getting fucked by the Dept.

Again, NO ONE CARES!
If 35th St gave a fuck, a Lt and possibly a Cmdr would get launched. Aint gonna happen.

Want further proof that NO ONE CARES?
You're in 007! Englwood! If someone cared about you: YOU WOULDNT BE IN ENGLWOOD!

Signed,
An old Tact Guy who LOVES the Watch!

Watson is a great Boss. Big deal so he's merit boss. So are most anyway nothing surprising about that. Spent lots of time in 007. Lots of great officers working hard. But don't pretend, tact in 007 is a joke. Most of the talent is on patrol without invites. Besides now tact can't hide behind Kulbida skirt. Just ask lock up they'll tell you who's really bringing in the quality arrests. It's about effen time. The good ole boys can drink their sorrows away at the rusty nail. Boo hoo.

And it must be really nice to be one of the connected to the new Commander.. And very profitable too. The new District Secretary had 43 hours of overtime for the last period. The new District Intelligence Officer logged in 83 hours of overtime, and the new Tact Lt. A whopping 101 hours of overtime. The best is I barely have seen anyone them since they have been here.

McCarthy fucked up big time by not making kulbida commander of 007...guess giving merit hack black commander a lateral move was more important then giving a white capt a promotion to a black district...all to appease a failing mayor...and slapping the face of 200 coppers in the process is really gonna help matters...And I don't wanna hear more bullethead stories...he let 35 people to take xmas off despite RIC FLAIRS objections.Time to watch the shit show of this summer and very slow responses to black on black crime...fuck u Obama

007 is about to be the new 005. (Biggest shithole in City). It still was under Leo, but Leo had morale at its all time high and knew what was important and how to take care of his people. Watson had already turned the place upside down and is drowning. He in in way over his head. Triple digit increases in shootings and homicides since Watson has arrived and he is in full panic mode. He will run everyone with anything out of there by mid summer. Here's a clue there boss. 011 already tried the fixed post solution and they led the city in shootings and homicides under that program. A shining example of what doesn't work yet he just instituted 5 fixed posts manned 24/7. It's a joke. This once great place for the working police is now dead and there is no one to blame, but this overprometed,quadruple merit hack who has no pulse on what's going on. Say goodbye to all your senior tact guys who knew who was who and say hello to all your 2yr wonders who may have 6 months of actual patrol experience. Over 3/4 of the new tact guys just assigned don't even have more than 5 PCS arrests. Now your tact Sgts can be FTO's and Sgt's at the same time. Someone turn off the lights when the last body drops.

Mr. Angry Officer here is your chance to get on the tact team that you cherish so much. You are either a tool or a fool. Only an idiot would want to work in tact and be told that you need to bring in arrests to keep your spot. As police officers the magnifying glass is on us every single second. Thus do every single thing by the book. If you do anything other wise, you are putting your job and freedom in danger.

Well I find that Larry Watson is the true problem in 007 hard to believe. Mainly in 005 everybody on tact, even the tact Lt. loved him. Even though all the complaints in 005 (10 hour day, time due etc.) 005 district tact was "Living the Dream" during his tenure. Maybe the real problem in 007 is that maybe 007 district tact is not as diverse as it should be. I'm not a numbers guys but I can bet the tact teams are 70% White and that's being modest in my opinion. Maybe there are some minority officers on tact but I have yet to see them. But this is how all district tact teams are starting to look the same all over the city with the 004 district leading the way 0 black officers on tact since a blk female tact sgt left. #blackofficersontactmatters

Tac in 007 and 020 need to be addressed differently. If your in 007,011,005,003 etc no matter if your in a beat car or on a tac team you work in a hell hole day in and day out... You should be taken care of and given a little room to breath when you need it.. This goes for the guys on the watch also. If u work in 020 or 016 or 017 etc on tac then u an play the Mickey mouse games all u want.... Your working tac in 020, it's almost as good as it gets... I think it's hilarious to hear tac guys from 020,017,016,018 complain about how much this job sucks... Please, it's paradise where you work... No matter who the boss is, they don't ride in the car with you. Good for the guys in 007.. What are they gonna do to punish them??? Dump them to 007?? Whoops

Sgt TR is one of the best and smartest tact sgts I've come across in my career. In fact, he's about the only tact sgt I'd actually work for. For a tact Lt to come in and within days start making ultamatums without even taking a little time to observe how your guys work is pathetic and the sign of a piss poor supervisor. For Commander LW and his XO to pick a winner like this speaks volumes about their own levels of competency. Good for these 17 coppers and 2 sgts for making a stand together. Coppers talk a big game, but hardly ever actually follow through when it comes to stuff like this. And Lt EO? Good luck with your new crop of 2 year wonders. Let's see how that goes.

Yes, to the "hard working" officers who will be giving marching orders to lock up nickel bags, pissers, drinkers and loosey dealers, come to the 007th district tactical team. But if you want to look for quality arrests or write quality search warrants, go elsewhere because Lt EO wants no part of those. The name of the game is preventing the exempts from getting yelled at at Compstat when shootings are up. So when the Sup wants to know what his guys were doing when a 4 yr old is shot in the head he can say "10 guys were inside processing weed arrests that should have been ANOVS"

Except Lil orphan Annie and his team. The 2 yr wonders that he's bringing up are actually good coppers but gonna get themselves in big trouble in they keep following this idiots orders. He is trying to hide the guys with 2 years on that he brought up with mission team beat numbers even tho he has them assigned to the tact teams. For those of you staying or going to the tact team in 007, be careful, its not worth you getting jammed up cuz EO will throw you under the bus. He's done it before.

back in the mid-70's I worked tac in 020. The old sgt retired and was replaced by a temp-sgt. After a lot of interaction with the temp-sgt, the team (6 guys) went in D/C and asked to go back to the watch. The temp-sgt was called in, agains our wishes because we didn't want to come between him and his tac sgt. After airing our differences, the temp-sgt said either they go or I go. Commander Richard McGinnis then waved good-bye to the temp-sgt.

Good afternoon. You are a giant coward and a liar. I will not comment on how or why these men came about their decision to go back to the watch as that is none of my business. It would be smart to just ignore this comment but I feel the need to set the record straight. The sergeants in question ALWAYS worked their full tour and the officers would go through the ( chain of command) sergeant for time off. Was I close with people on the teams, of course. How could I work in a district for 17 years and not form friendships with the people I worked with. I wil say that aside from one or two of those people who I have been friends with for a decade or more I have only been out socially with most of them a handful of times. To actually qualify as someone's drinking buddy you would probably need to be able to get out of the house more than two or three times a month. Also, all of these individuals were in place when I inherited the team. No one had to "kiss my ass" for anything.
To address the rest of this moronic rant, I would like to say I would gladly work with any of the officers or sergeants again. They are all great police officers and even more importantly they are great people. I hold no grudge against anyone, I loved my time in Englewood.
I do however think the people that talk smack on here anonymously are the most vile scum in the department. You have a beef with me? Don't hide behind this electronic bathroom wall. Come find me to talk or at least be man enough to post your own name.

I know for a fact that in 007 the patrol have better arrests and helped outside units without ego. It's sad how tac is dished to 1.6 year wonders. I'm making more money in vri, cta, court, etc...without force arrests or bs over my head. Pick your battles. Ducking does not secure employment.

What's the real issue here is that E.O. Worked in SOS . Young guys pay attention this is the TRUth!! SOS stood for sons of supervisors and with the exception of a few were not all that and a bag of chips!! The real deal Holyfield was TRU on Pershing. If you hear an officer state "when I was in TRU", then u know you are looking at the elite ! If you don't know you better ax somebody! 007 blowing up send the 4219 team in and there goes the criminals running! I recall one tact officer asking myself once " are you in SOS I said no TRU and he quickly apologized then hit the medical ! Now anyone know where the golf outing money went!?

It was a hell of a way to keep the spotlight off all the shootings especially the little girl and the old lady. The fact that none of the so called preachers are coming forward in defense of Tue community, I mean by commenting at least on the senseless black on black violence. I think that JJ and flagger and all those other store front hypocrites finally realized that black lives don't matter to black people. As a matter of fact they matter to every one except black people.

With summer approaching, they'll use management discretion to keep everyone in the office to fill the VRE demands. They'll tell them that they'll honor their wishes come September or October, but the can will continually get kicked down the road. Unless there's a paddy wagon full of replacements, those 22 officers aren't going anywhere.

Yes clown? 007 is not 005. A million petty arrest isn't solving shit. Just look at the numbers. And 005 guns were all so called "turn ins" that were really trades for cars and dope. All that's gonna get you is jammed up. 007 leads the city in guns with actual arrests. Period.

They expanded it and with that expansion came a drop in quality and an increase in politics...and since then they can't get people to put in without being their friend and telling them about their bright future in the department...yep.

". . . . most of the positions are filled by invite only."

that is the most telling and accurate statement about tact teams. maybe the 007 tact teams, those who are "invited" to the tact team, are being told things like, "you have to stay the whole tour," or "you have to transport your own prisoners," are upset by being told that despite their overinflated sense of privilege and bloated worth to the department, they are still 9161, and aren't really that special. as far as leading the city in UUW arrests? you could throw a stone into a crowd in 007 and find someone with a pistol. finding a uuw arrest is so commonplace, they barely give honorable mentions for them in 007. most uuw arrests? but 007 still has some of the highest crime rates in the city? not really a bragging point then is it?

the tact team is privileged. they don't have to chase the radio. it's just a job. do it or go back to the watch. it's a paramilitary organization. do your job. the mass exodus could be bad management, or it could be a bunch of crybabies being told to do something a different way, and they don't feel like they have to do it that way.

Most people know you don't have to be on tact to be a hard worker, and there are people on the watch whose numbers would match or exceed those on tact, while chasing the radio at the same time.

some have taken all 3, as we all know - but if capt. is not a testable, civil-service rank, then it's not really ' merit'

In the sense of "using the official City of Chicago Merit Criteria", of course you are correct.

In the sense of merit as an ironic indicator, by people familiar with Chicago corruption, of lack-of-merit clout babies, someone who got three merit promotions and then was promoted to captain, they definitely have four merit promotions.

Hmmmm lets see we were up about 5 shootings and a couple murders when they got here. Now we are up 60 something shootings and seven murders. Yeah, it's the previous administration's fault, yeah thats it. No wait, it's the former tact lieutenant's fault. He is using mind control to suppress activity and drive the residents to violence.

“Actually I think that as far as moral goes it's much better now here in 007. No more worrying about what type of mood Bubblehead will be in on a daily basis. He was the problem around here. But there probably some truth of the fact that some of these tact wonders are sad that their drinking buddy is gone. Beware 012h district if some of them show up there. They are his guys and gals and can do no wrong and will get whatever they want”.

You must be one of the snitches in 7 which feeds others lies and most likely has no regular partner because no one like you. Im sure the only reason you were worried about the Capt. then was because your like the handful around the station that really regularly didn't do shit, but wanted to reap the benefits of the hard working knowledgeable officers in the district. Im not sure how you can say anything about moral because it was never an issue with time due or having a nice furlo extension. Which are just two things that helped moral. Your a coward, but the Capt. still would have done anything for you that you would ask for. As far as drinking part Im sure you had a drink with him at some time as did the tac guys. However this comment is just your action designed to turn a situation to your own advantage with lies.

Let me guess, you've 8 years on the job. Congratulations. If you had any time on the job instead or just weren't a self absorbed blowjob you would realize that how everyone gets into tact/units. One person gets dumped/leaves, one person comes up. Its's the tact boy cycle. You find one fucking stroke to replace another or in this case two teams of strokes. It's not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. The only difference is that when it's happened in the past, they didn't cry on the blog. Move on jerkoffs, you're not going back to the tact team, and EO isnt going anywhere. Maybe if you would have shut your mouth and not put in on the blog, but you fronted out the commander you'll be on his shit list forever.

Notice to all tact boys with their heads buried up their ass. The new commander of your district ain't your boy and don't give a fuck about you.

Cmon E.o... I know that's you and I am the original poster. You don't think we all don't remember your days in sos do ya??? You know you were a huge crybaby and entitled ball liked yourself Eric. And no Eric, I don't have 8 years on the job.. When u came to the unit I was one of the guys who would try to teach you how to actually be the police.... But you already knew it all and had it all figured out
