DOJ on the Prowl?

Is this for real?
  • I sure hope that the DOJ have their hands into the Detective's promotional exam, once the city gets the scores back from the private company. My brother told me that the DOJ removed the refrigerator from the 001st District's CAPs office. They said that the officers were stealing electricity from the city. No refrigerators allowed without a CPD inventory number on it.
Which supernintendo was it who figured that Officers would eat better if they brought lunch from home? We seem to remember that the boss they'd be able to store their healthy veggie snacks and such in the refrigerator located at the desk.

That's out now? We guess that officers shouldn't expect to use the station washrooms as that would be stealing water from the city. The new stations equipped with weight rooms? Better exercise in the dark lest the DOJ say that electricity is stolen also. And don't even think of using the showers afterward.

That television in the Tact Office? Or the one in the Watch Lieutenant's office? Or the commander's office? The one with the "satellite hookup? Yeah, not any more.

Guess we won't be siphoning gas out of the pool cars for our lawnmower this year either.

In the mid 1980s an inspector wrote up some detectives in the old Area 6 at Belmont & Western. Their crime was using their own portable electric typewriters and using the city's electricity. At that time the city only furnished manuals which were in short supply and half the time did not work. The guy who came in to repair them remarked that we were the only clients that had manuals. They were an American brand but were made in one of the South American countries which meant waiting for parts. The detective area at that time did not have desks just tables. The inspector never noted the leaking roof with the waste paper baskets catching the water. Have not been there since 2008 but remember mold growing in some parts of the basement. Has that been fixed?

Why are they not on the prowl for example over at night clubs in Florida where another mass shooting occurred again, But no it was not islamic terrorist looks like the typical black lies matter crew that ruin everything watch the video you decide:

http://video.foxnews.com/v/5048674462001/mass-shooting-at-teen-party-at-a-florida-nightclub/?#sp=show-clips

Maybe this crew mom could be at the democratic national convention headline along with these great mothers of thugs that attempted to maim or kill a police officer:

The convention’s schedule lists the group “Mothers of the Movement” as featured speakers on Tuesday, July 25, alongside former President Bill Clinton.

The group is made up of the mothers of black men, women and children whose deaths turned them into martyrs and inspired the Black Lives Matter movement. Of the seven victims, four were killed in encounters with law enforcement.

The women in the group include:
› Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who died in a chokehold administered by an NYPD officer.

› Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, a teenager killed by Florida neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.

› Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontré Hamilton, who was killed by a Milwaukee police officer.
› Lezley McSpadden, mother of Michael Brown, who was killed by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer.
› Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of Sandra Bland, who died in a Texas jail after being imprisoned for a traffic violation.

Now that is great anti-police line up any copper his family or friends or pro-police citizen that votes for clinton should be thrown out of this country!

Notice also the mothers last names are not the same of any of the "children" hmm wonder why! God bless the police everywhere and the "spirits of the air" SCC for all your hard work!

There was a clout heavy captain ( 6th Ward and friend of Beavers) on the 3rd watch in 005. When the district commander when home, this captain changed into his 3 piece suit along with his fedora hat and pranced around the desk. He had a bottle of Martell in his drawer that he managed to finish before he went home. A pompous, arrogant, political incompetent ass. I was surprised that he never made gold star with those qualifications. However, I did hear he was the police chief in some south suburb for a few years.

The OLD Area 6 was at Damen Avenue and Grace St. It looked like the set of BARNEY MILLER. There was a creaky, worn out dark wood atmosphere there that anyone who worked there no matter how short of a time will ever forget.

But by the mid 1980s that building was torn down, along with Riverview Amusement Park. A new firehouse went up at Damen and Grace and the new Area Six/19th District was build at Belmont and Western. But the new stations will never hold the charm and memories of those old station.

The building at Belmont and Western opened in 1975. I worked there for 20+ years. There is a plaque on the east wall at the desk. Not sure when A6 became A3, but in the early 90's, the carved stone sign out front still said "Area 6".

He was made to retire because he refused to show up for the random drug screen when the program was rolled out. When he left, the city found boxes of tape recordings of telephone calls in his office. He had the entire 9th floor of the HQ and all of the telephones there secretly recorded. The technician , also a police officer, who managed the technology suddenly retired and moved to Arizona. Funny how some things just get covered up, especially if you are connected.

Many employers at one time had rules against employees using their own typewriters, calculators, etc. It would not surprise me if the CPD did as well.

Some places even had rules requiring the use of specific pens and/or pencils.

Back in the mid 90's guy who was the Secretary in the School Patrol Unit in Area 2 used to have a refrigerator in the office. Thing was though he was running a little concession stand of his own. Everybody in the building from the D/C down were customers. Went on for about a year with sales in the vending machines dropping to close to nothing.
Outfit, and I mean "outfit" who had the city contract for vending machines in city buildings made a beef. Was almost a big deal until some one with common sense made him shut down. Out the door went the refrigerator.

Elgia Cook was made to retire because he taped himself making arrangements to take his "squeeze" to a fancy hotel downtown utilizing 1505 funds to pay the bill. He did not fail a drug screen.

Regarding the improper use of 1505 funds the SAO declined to prosecute both the taping and the embezzlement. Daley did not want to upset the Black community.
