Manpower "Surge"

  • Chicago streets will have an extra 1,300 cops on patrol each day of the Memorial Day weekend, as the Chicago Police Department beefs up normal police presence with special units, traffic enforcement and more officers in the city’s parks and beaches, officials said Friday.

    The stepped-up patrols are an increase even from the number of officers deployed last year, when CPD put an extra 880 officers each day of the long weekend only to see six people killed and 63 shot from Friday evening through early Tuesday. As with most holidays in the summer months, CPD officials solicited volunteers to cover extra shifts over the weekend and canceled time off to ramp up staffing.

    “CPD will not tolerate violent behavior, and if you choose to put others in danger by your actions, you will feel the full weight of CPD and our partners in law enforcement,” Supt. Eddie Johnson said, reading from a prepared address to reports at police headquarters Friday.
And rest assured, if you misbehave, the CPD will yell, "Stop!" in a loud voice. And if you continue to misbehave, CPD will yell, "STOP!" even louder.

The cooler weather will undoubtedly have an effect on the totals. Tune into HeyJackass.com for the official weekend tally.

Had love it when Rahm and Supt. Eddie made a joint appearance at a black church to showcase the "manpower surge."

They could have used some type of a surge to boost the attendance at their media opportunity happening. The church was largely vacant. The entire assembled audience numbered about twenty.

The television news cameras tried to avoid showing that the church was almost completely empty.

Will Rahm cut his police detail to his family for the good of the citizens of Chicago? I must have been dreaming to think that. Everyone else, go fish.

Question union rep couldn't answer. How is it that you can take DOH if your scheduled to work holiday but get your RDO cancelled if your scheduled to be off. Since you can't drop a slip for your RDO. Anyone have an answer to that? Our rep looked very confused when asked that question.

**OFF TOPIC**

To the asshat complaining about "when was the last time you even heard Gang Intel make a dent in Gang crime?" And "send Gang Intel to boystown!"
Not sure if you saw the roundup the other day- but a complex 2+ year QUALITY investigation culminated in a lot of guns and dope recovered, and a lot of arrests- most of which likely to see federal time.
Just because some people aren't seen beating the bushes every day coming in with heads doesn't mean they don't still have a role and do work.
Fantastic job by all involved.

And also just a heads up to the coppers living in 008- I heard that quite a few arrestees from the roundup that got scooped up maintained addresses in Garfield Ridge. Something to think about........
Be safe all.

This is not a strategy, this is Insanity! Even with the restrictions currently imposed upon Chicago Police, by the ACLU, it is realized that a physical police presence will in fact deter some forms of criminal activity. So after spending tens of millions of dollars, and millions more on Gold Braid Pensions, produced by the old CAPS program, which claimed that mere police presence was not enough.( Remember the "A" stood for Alternative and the "S" stood for strategies.) We are back to the original strategy of Saturation! In essence we are unofficially, undoing what McCarthy, Rahm and Roundtree did, when they disbanded City-wide Units! Only this time the "New", Old strategy, will be to saturate but not stop or pursue the offenders/suspects. The New Mobile Strike Force will be part-time and forbidden to "Strike". And all of this puts the public and officers at greater risk. But on the positive side, homicides are down and people are fleeing the City. Hopefully, many of those fleeing will take their "Play" criminal relatives with them. Baby "G"

The city not hiring and providing manpower is not the fault of the beat cop. Fetal is an understatement as to my level of motivation.

Cancel everyone's day off just to properly staff the police department. The non-holiday weekends this summer will be a bloodbath. Invasion of the body snatchers. All because Rahm insist on doing more with less. Nobody gets hurt or killed when you are forced to do more with less at the office. On the streets of shitcago more with less means more bodies piling up and a brisk business at the emergency rooms around the city. Human life has no value in shitcago. Human pain and suffering have no value in shitcago. When you can't provide the basic service of perseveration of life in a civilized society, you are a failure.

Test was never addressed, Fenner, and all the shit she was involved in never got address, Patrina, Saadia, Davina, Dasche, McKenzie, Vic Green all studied from the actual test but they all walking around like they made it on their own. So until special Ed can address those issues then fuck him and whatever card he's reading off of because all he's doing is shuffling the deck.

Agreed. Legitimate complaints of redo cancelled and cu given should be addressed by union but won't be. Detailing also should be addressed, now the dept doesn't have to honor bids, seniority or even opening up the transfers. All they do is detail. Low seniority bids or is on midnights, they just detail you to days. No transfers to unit because everyone is detailed. What happened to the 90 detail? Seniority is being ignored

the simple answer is the %15 agreement the city has with the union.

You should be bitching about why the to FOP Sunday to Saturday exception for the 7 straight work days, only time and half on holidays instead of double time(like most unions), only 8 hour BFDs, furlough hours instead of days, etc.
