Question

Anyone want to explain why the only posted openings for next Police Period were all in 003? Fifteen openings, yet the Department posted a few dozen PPO's coming off of their probation into Area North last month - into spots that in reality, they wouldn't be able to catch a whiff of for five or six years.

They couldn't all be that connected, could they?

Does the Department want to keep all the unhappy, old, grumpy, coppers locked into undesirable spots for some reason? Or is this another ploy by Rahm?

Well the following numbers and info is accurate and fact. PPOS that got off probation got assigned to some of the best, slowest,cleanest and nicest Districts in the City. 6 PPOS were assigned to 016, 6 PPOS were assigned to 017,8 PPOS were assigned to 008, 4 PPOS were assigned to 009, 3 PPOS were assigned to 012, and 7 PPOS were assigned to 025. That's a total of 34 PPOS that got assigned to 008,009,012,016, 017 and 025. This hardly seems fair, Officers that have over 10 years on the job cant even begin to sniff one of these Districts that these PPOS got assigned to. We cant get out of the fucken ghetto and the PPOS get handed a gift of all gifts.

Well at least let the Coppers who live north and northwest,
bid north and northwest...

It would be a big win for "Tha Communerty"
if all the North and Northwest side Coppers were
made to go away. Right?

No more conflict.
No more accusations of cultural insensitivity.
No more taunting and threats at major crime scenes.

The Community cause would have a little pause...
Right?

Clearly Rahm hasn't thought this all the way through...

North side districts are severely undermanned. Their commanders and aldermen ask for bodies, so they get PPOs and those recently off probation. They do it this way because they can assign then wherever the hell they want without having to worry about seniority or anyone bidding out of less desirable districts. Then they pretend every district is fully staffed except for 003 so they can try to get some bodies there. People will bid for those spots. I'm still not sure how this fake posting of vacancies doesn't violate the contract. There are definitely spots available in many districts other than 003, but the department somehow doesn't have to post them and open them up to bidding. People with enough seniority to get into slower districts are held hostage in the ghetto because the department refuses to post the actual vacancies in each district. It's ridiculous. If there's nothing in the contract preventing this bullshit, maybe the FOP can think about working it into the new contract somewhere.

It makes perfect sense, keep the most experienced and seasoned officers in the tough districts, down in the Hood. They know those districts and how to survive in them. Put the new rookies in the quite more peaceful districts for five or six years until they get a little seasoning and street wise. Then you can slowly transition them to the tough districts. Just remember, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. You veterans working the ghetto are the CPD elite. Be proud.

You are obviously a civilian and really stupid.A probationary police officer cannot be strung along for 5-6 years and then magically violate a union contract and ship them off to the ghetto.All this is accomplishing is creating hatred for those guys with 7-15 yrs that arent able to be bid anywhere.I'm sure they will be happy and productive coppers with no hopes of transferring closer to home.We might even still have some poor bastards from TRU and MSF still stuck down south.

*************
Commanders have been bitching for years in the forementioned districts about how they never get young officers. The problem is that the older officers already in those districts, by and large, aren't doing anything. The department gets to decide where PPO's are assigned, contrary to what some people here are saying. Seniority does not come into play whatsoever on initial assignment of PPO's. Past practice has been to dump them into 007, 015, 006, etc...but that is changing. They won't all go to sleeper districts, but they also all will not go to the ghetto districts either anymore.

Read some of the comments in previous blog entries about 003. Everything sucks. The starting times the bosses are "just visiting" they have no investment in the district no investment in looking out for the coppers. Officers are essentially being held hostage to the district. 003 is a revolving door for bosses.

Clown. Take your aggression to a fast district then. You will find that that same mentality is in full swing throughout the department. It is out of necessity. You sound like a dumb ass supervisor too blind to see the reality because your head is stuck up someone's ass. You apparently got lost going down on a boss.

I want out of the hood. This is a brilliant move by the city. It essentially blocks moves by guys/gals that would have the time to bid. Fathead Ed, I thought you were just a moron. Nope, you're treacherous, yes. Dumb, yes. But when it comes to fucking your "troops," you are a mastermind. Well played, sir.

Around the turn of the century, some new guys got assigned to nice districts out of the academy. There were lots of recruits and lots of police in nice districts. You could get afternoons with 5 or 6 years on the job, days in 10 or 12. They stopped sending recruits, the only openings were on bid and they never replaced the number that left. Now, you need 20 years for days, 15 for afternoons and quite a bit of seniority to bid in. Not sure what the average age of the officers are, but I bet it's over 40. We have the same "new" guys that were here 6 years ago and now they have 10 years on the job and are sent reverse seniority for every detail that comes out.
