Airport Again?

Bid openings posted today:
  • 004 - 10 openings
  • 005 - 5
  • 006 - 5
  • 008 - 8
  • 009 - 3
  • 016 - 5
  • 017 - 5
  • 019 - 8
  • 024 - 2
  • 050 - 7 openings
  • 051 - 3 openings
Gee, it's almost like someone from the Federal government asked how the millions of dollars they sent Rahm for transportation security were being spent and no one had a good answer, especially as the Airports were 40 or more people short.

And since the Airports are 50% bid and 50% management now, should everyone be making those phone calls?

OT:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ the Sgts arbitration award at least from page 75 on. This will give all of you an idea of what they look at and how arbitrators feed off of other awards. At least understand the part about the weight that they give the negotiations and the Tentative Agreement before you throw the entire contract out. Because most of it will be the same after you pay the arbitrator. The Sgts lost 1% of their agreed raise in arbitration. FOP stands to lose more than that.

Big points:
-CPS Teachers are not comparable (different job, they can strike)
-TA was given "great weight" even after soundly rejected
-Wage re-opener clause added to protect Sgts in case of increase in pension contributions


Also, Sgts may not know, but the healthcare for them changes to whatever FOP agrees to.

I don't care what you vote, just make an educated choice, not one done because you don't like someone or didn't vote for them. Or whatever silly shit coppers come up with.

Use your brains and vote based on knowledge, not rumor!!!!

Does anybody know who makes the decision on what districts will have openings and how many openings ?

Does someone in Chief of Patrol's office look at this every month in time to announce openings, if any?

Is it decided by MLAS?

Do the deputy chiefs and commanders make the requests for openings?

At this point, why not have openings in every district?

Nov.86 was the cut off to bid in last period and those new personnel, 16 to be exact, put an end to all the in house over time; probably for the next several years. It's funny to hear these guys and gals complain about the death of in house over time. Especially the ones that got here this period. S.s.c., please put it out there that the O-T att 050 and 051 is D.O.A. We don't like to see regretful faces over here.

O.T. - a D1 p.o. at step 8 (15-20 years) will obtain approx. $2,438 in retro monies just in 2012/2013 (which will never be gotten back in arbitration). A D1 p.o. at will go from $80,724 to $85,665 right away without them receiving a step increase.

Virtually everyone during the duration of the contract will receive a step increase of about an additional 3 to 3.5% considering the proposal for the contract is five years, so in essence should the members reject this contract proposal in all actuality they are rejecting a 13 - 14% increase over the duration of the collective bargaining agreement.

I request members think long and hard about their vote. Thanks.

If you are right,even without the In House Overtime it's still a better place to work and your not dealing with all the bull shit on a Beat Car.So I don't think you'll see a lot of unhappy faces.The airport if you can get it is the place to be.

Yeah. Good luck with that. Most coppers make nearly every work decision based purely on rumor and innuendo. It's what coppers do. Few periods ago, new Sgt came to 011. Rumor had it he was a complete dick. Mind you, this rumor came from one copper. Well, since he's been here, the Sarge been nothing but a prince. Goes out of his way to help blue shirts, and keep them from stepping on their dick. But thanks to one copper, most of us had him pegged as a bad guy, when nothing could be further from the truth. He fits right in, as 011, has mostly good Sgts anyway.
There will never come a day when coppers will make decisions about anything based on anything other than rumor and innuendo. It's just what coppers do.

To the person who wanted to know how they decide how many openings there are in each district. The chiefs do meet once a month on this, but it basically comes down to this: the number of bodies each district is down is counted, then whatever a district is down above the mean is the number of openings. For example,

District a down 20
District b down 23
District c down 25

Then

District a has 0 openings
District b has 3 openings
District c has 5 openings

Units other than districts are done separately

Ye gods are generous... Haven't seen this "many" openings for north side districts in years! (roll eyes)

Funny... No openings in 007 or 011.
How much of CPD's manpower compliment do those two districts eat up as the mopes keep moping and the dedicated shooters, (stabbers and beaters too) in the daily ritual sacrifices to death and destruction continue shooting, stabbing and beating?

But mostly shooting...

"Chicago has a gun problem!"

No... Get it right...

"Chicago has a 100k hard core criminal problem and their 500k allied sympathizers and supporters problem...

That is why so much of everything is geared toward screw-jobbing what's left of Chicago's productive, tax paying, law abiding people.

Until they fight back or until enough of them actually flee.

First off 016 is a good place to work even better if you live there. As far as 017 goes unless you can get 2nd or 3rd watch DO NOT GO TO 017 1 ST WATCH!!!!!!! This lt. on 1st watch is a complete micromanager. Partners can't work together, no one gets a regular car to work, time due denied with smile, furlo extensions denied with an even bigger smile. This guy lt. jS gets off on screwing with PO's , he loves watching them look dejected and squirm when asking for something as simple as time due. Why anyone on this watch works and does anything for this goof is beyond me. We are praying he goes to 3rd watch so he can demoralize and decimate afternoons. After all Lt. JS was never a good policeman was a less than average sgt. and is a complete debacle,as a lt. Hey Joe just because the CPD gave you bars on the collar doesn't make you a leader........

That is how a real union protects its senior officers .Keep duty availability for the clouted daytime officers , but add 5% shift differential for officers on the first and third watch .
Vote No , nothing offered for the district beat officer . Vote yes and you are a beat off.

This is what an elected Boston Councilor at Large Ayanna Pressley said about the men and women who serve and protect Boston and their contract.

“We have the greatest police force in the nation. They are overworked, and none of us can fully appreciate the personal sacrifices they make to keep us safe.”

It's nice to see some elected officals support their police forces. Unfortunately, you won't hear one of the 50 alderthieves saying something like that about the men and women of CPD!

Anyone notice how the recent CPD spokesperson Collins transitioned to now the Mayors Spokesperson? This young kid jumped from working for virtually every politician in Kentucky and Wisconsin landing up at CPD, only to work directly for the "King" in the big city. And who works there now? Good young Maloney, who is another young buck who got his experience working for baseball and basketball teams. Keep your eyes on the players and their moves, cause the city is game of chess, where the non-connected and the ones who refuse to suck-a$$ always lose. Unless you are part of the "royal family" just go home and let the royalty eat their lobster dinner.

Now all of a sudden 024 is the place to be.

For me, 024 has always been the place to work. A lot of great bosses here ( both past and present).

And for all those coppers at the airports saying overtime is done there, STFU! I have never seen one blue shira white shirt working VRI on the south or westside. That's because they get all the overtime they want at the airports.

"016 district citizens, better known as cop land will never again get a full compliment of Officers. Because you are silent in all aspects, citizens their don't vote, you don't complain and you surely don't protest. You all make your meager low to middle class incomes, pay your taxes and fees (highest in city), pay for private schools and have two working parents. It will never change and the politicians know that.

OT- Heard that the new boss of personnel is calling retirees to turn in their IDs and stars. Seems some were "issued in error." Ok- how does that work and why would they give it back? And...how is he the boss of personnel and labor affairs at the same time? Makes you wanna say 'hmmmm???!"

9/20/2014 08:34:00 AM

Simple answer. You are only entitled to a CPD star and ID if you are currently an active CPD officer. Retirees are given a retired star and id.

Maybe Dean and McDonagh can negotiate D2 pay for the airport management like they did for the 3 helicopter guys. Doesn't it take special skills to get management in 050/051?

This time, helicopter pilots. Next time, SWAT. And on and on.

9/20/2014 10:15:00 PM

swat is not getting anything in contract. In fact the powers that be are kicking around the idea of making them part time call out team like they used to be in SOS. Assigning them as extra manpower when districts blow up for a week to get numbers and having limited sort cars around city.

HI SCC n Kids. 10 G here. Wow a kick in the bottom but only Wk 3 of NFL Season. Like the NFL Coaches say I would rather be hot at end of season than when at start. Could never understand that logic. A win is a win whether in Sept or Dec. Lost in first few wks in 2011 but made a good comeback and have done well since. We're still going on Royal Carribean Cruise in Feb. I digress. I put 10 large on Balt -1 and the hook and same way on Az +3 over SF. A team that gets smoked by the Bears is a team destined for last place even with a new stadium. Luv you Scc n Kids.

Why no openings in my dist. We are so short. But we still have parking lot security. P.o.'s DOG getting change, so basically taking from Peter to pay Paul. A XO with his own secretary and his own little group of of "boys" that ride around with him most of the time. And I'm sure there are p.o.s hidden across the city. Just love it. the city "intends" to purchase 400 police cars. How about hiring 400 police officers. Leadership! Everyone wants to be in charge.


*************

Keep praying for more PO's.... They are all going to stay in the impact zones even after probation (assigned to a district and re-detailed out to the zones). So no new help for the watch, just more smoke and mirrors for the public. More ANOVS and contact cards please! They are also too busy firing good PPO's for personal favors to the connected or just because they don't like the way they look. Just last week they fired a PPO from 006 because some connected asshat at Homan Square had beef with him when he was a kid. That was a long reach, Homan Square to 006. No one cares if we are short on manpower. As long as the clouted are taken care of we got nothing. In the mean time, I'll continue pushing this beat car 99 on afternoons.

Anyone notice how the recent CPD spokesperson Collins transitioned to now the Mayors Spokesperson? This young kid jumped from working for virtually every politician in Kentucky and Wisconsin landing up at CPD, only to work directly for the "King" in the big city. And who works there now? Good young Maloney, who is another young buck who got his experience working for baseball and basketball teams. Keep your eyes on the players and their moves, cause the city is game of chess, where the non-connected and the ones who refuse to suck-a$$ always lose. Unless you are part of the "royal family" just go home and let the royalty eat their lobster dinner.

9/20/2014 02:51:00 PM
Maloney's uncle is the ASA who prosecuted Mike Ceriale's killer, Jonathan Tolliver.

Collins is the second spokesperson to go from CPD to Mayor's press office.

I hope I get to work with A.Z. She works harder than anyone. She cries when shes asked to go to meetings. Just ask her and she's done so much in caps for all 10 1/2 of her 11 years otj. She tried to protect a criminal and tried to intervene on charges against him. But the hardest worker ever, just ask her. Unreal. Greatest caps officer ever that didn't do anything. Useless POS. Everyone in caps is thrilled that she's gone.

Eli's too stupid to figure anything out for himself. How many people have bailed out of there since the beginning of the year? Obviously not enough for Eli to figure out that there may be a problem. Lt. Legend-in-my-own-mind should've been moved out of that spot ages ago, but Eli doesn't get it. That district has been ruined, and it will be years before the damage undone.

Use your brains and vote based on knowledge, not rumor!!!!

Yeah. Good luck with that. Most coppers make nearly every work decision based purely on rumor and innuendo. It's what coppers do. Few periods ago, new Sgt came to 011. Rumor had it he was a complete dick. Mind you, this rumor came from one copper. Well, since he's been here, the Sarge been nothing but a prince. Goes out of his way to help blue shirts, and keep them from stepping on their dick. But thanks to one copper, most of us had him pegged as a bad guy, when nothing could be further from the truth. He fits right in, as 011, has mostly good Sgts anyway.
There will never come a day when coppers will make decisions about anything based on anything other than rumor and innuendo. It's just what coppers do.

Under ten years and working in an office for the last five , over 20 working a beat car , unacceptable .

And your point is? If we go to arbitration the 10 year wonder will still be working in the front office and the over 20 will be working a beat car. That won't change Neither will the 80-20% regarding transfers or exempted units.
Evidently you have no idea about arbitration. He only arbitrates a small select few things that the city and FOP cannot agree on.
FOP never asked to change the things you mentioned.

Well put!!! And I might add, if we sell out the ppo's for duty availability, then we are not together on this. It should be for ALL Police. We would be no better than the under 10 yrs. and tucked safely inside. How about this....100% for patrol....75% for inside 9161....just a thought and save the city some $$$.

Yea, I do get it. That happens about every 20 to 30 years so I see the need to have that squad at home. Its not like if an air crash happens at 3AM he couldn't get in his own car and drive to the command center.
