No Time Due for You

Rumors about all time off being canceled in 008 on the weekends.

And the weekend runs from Thursday night until Sunday at noon.

This would appear to be an egregious violation of the Contract. It would also appear to be yet another nail in the coffin of policing in Chicago.

Is the FOP on top of this one?

Dont worry about the guys wearing blue... just make sure you get that next spot. You are a disgrace.

Anyone...ANYONE...that does a lick of proactive police work or revenue generation at the request or cajoling of some Bosshole after being denied time off is a fucking idiot.

Effected blue shirts need to do what some of the fellas (and gals) have been doing in a certain, to remain anonymous, district; the documenting of how the 'privileged' white shirts come and go as they please, oftentimes still splitting the shift as WC (or whatever they're called now).

It doesn't take much time or effort to film the arrival and departure times of your favorite time due-denying supervisor and then get a copy of the A & A's to corroborate the double standard. If you really want to be sneaky, coordinate with an RDO coworker to capture the arrival of these dummies at their residence while still on the clock. Sorry, but all bets are off when the Lt or Cpt says I can't have Saturday off for my kid's birthday and then they leave (again) four hours after they reported for duty.

You fuck with my time with my family? I'm gonna fuck you twice as hard. Believe that. The media loves scandal and controversy with the police, especially around contract time and when orchestrated by the powers that be. Let's see how well it sits with the PBPA when they have to go on the defensive.

Either everyone or no one has to play by the rules. The days of not "taking down the whole ship" are done once people can't see their kids walk across the stage to get their diploma or miss Junior strike out the final batter in the State Championship.

Game on.

It is the same way in 012, only 6 officers off on the extended week-end. Does that include the school officers working dog s/s? If you ask any white shirt they can't give you a straight answer. Or is this the genius thought of an ass kissing xo? Mind you all beat cars manned and 7 or 8 foot patrols.

Only THREE officers allowed off on a Sunday on 3rd watch in 011. We have had officers denied time due for their children being born, their honeymoons, and their child's first birthday party which were planned and had slips in for months in advance. And the commander has the nerve to tell us we aren't doing enough fucking contact cards. How about strapping on a pair and telling McFool at the next compstat meeting that activity is down and will stay that way until this fuking mess is fixed. Oh, I forgot, too afraid to lose that precious gold star. Forget the well being of everyone that actually WORKS for a living.

I understand your position against proactive police work, but the reason I don't agree with it could pretty up in this article:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-4-charged-in-south-side-robbery-spree-20120621,0,2508443.story

That traffic stop was "proactive", and thanks to those officers not turning a blind eye to a simple traffic violation, there are 4 less gangsters on the street for awhile that I won't have to worry about robbing my family or friends. There has to be a better way to voice our dissatisfaction with the management than letting the criminals run wild.

A little OT, but I am disgusted that anyone would sign up for this bs overtime initiative. They won't let people take time off to be with their families and have a life outside of the job, but some people still don't give a shit about sticking together as a union. When you took this job you agreed to be part of a union. That means that every now and then you have to take one for the team. Sometimes being a money whore hurts the group as a whole, but people today just don't seem to get that. If this department had any kind of conviction as a UNION, we would have a lot more control over the bs they keep piling on us. But people will still keep bringing in their one baggers and signing up for this crap so the city wins again. We are going to get walked all over at contract time and we have nobody but ourselves to blame.

If the 008th District would do some work maybe they could get the day off. In 008 the Crazy Roach leader Carter R is single handedly distroying Garfield Ridge & Kennedy HS and corrupting dozens of local kids in the neighborhood.

Carter who is also known by 008 tact as ""Powder" runs a weed spot out of his house that is owned by his daddy, a dick assigned to area central. If the police weren't afraid of the father maybe they could take some legitimate police action and do a warrant-but wait, it's ok to sell dope if its out of a policeman's house.

To stop giving so much time off. The XO doesn't give a shit about any of us. He never worked the watch before he went upstairs and only cares about numbers. New humpers,no time,cars in the boxes, no time due. Look at the sheets on the weekend there are no foot guys up. They are on cars. How bout the guys who go on the medical every month.

I'm sure this is gonna piss some people off but here's an idea of what the sheets look like in 024. Every beat car up and 10-4, Always 2 wagons, 2 plain clothes cars,
anywhere from 4-10 rapid cars that are 10-4, two traffic cars, and 6-7 foot posts and in the summer5-8 bike units. When you take into account the tact teams and saturation teams, it is insane how flush we are with coppers. I've been in 024 for almost 9 years and have never been denied time off. And you'll love this. When the ppo's are done with their status, usually 3-4 out of the 10 or so will stay here. Not shipped to the south and westside. I'm very thankful for this, trust me. I'm letting you know so the guys in 008 can start getting it through there heads how badly they are getting screwed over. Stop working. Do nothing. Answer your calls and that's it.

Just a question regarding furlo extensions. And before you say get off your lazy ass and look up the general orders or look at the contract,or call FOP I already did. But can someone clarify if there is anything in writing regarding how long you can extend your furlo. Word of mouth or district/w/c rules sometimes says the Sunday before or the Saturday after the segment. Yet some peoples extensions are being denied and some p.o.s are allowed less than 21 days total(some only given 16 days which is basically a 2 day extension to your 14 day segment furlo), yet other p.os I know have been granted up to 28 days on a half segment furlo. Does anyone know if there is an answer in writing or is it the w/c's discretion.

When the commander's and xo's numbers start to drop let them explain how the "back bone of the department" is feed up with their b.s. they need us more then we need these over paid hacks. They never did half the stuff we are doing out there. They are able to take the time off with their families, but we must take the time away from our family. I refuse to work my days off for this ot they are putting our there, hire more officers!

They are denying time everywhere, including the north side districts. Talked to a officer from 019 and was told that even with the merger and addition of manpower there, they only allow a max of 5 P.O.s off on the weekend. Of course there will never be a shortage of manpower at rahm's house, as the taxpayers pay officers to babysit his family. The department better take care of all the officers on management because they are the only ones with incentive to be productive. Even still, the box that holds all the parkers and movers is looking pretty empty these days.

Damn right. This job has been dying a slow death for years and messing with a persons social life away from this job will be the death blow and will be considered a declaration of war by some folks. The fools denying you time off will say its not personal but their full of s&!t. If they appreciated your efforts they'd make it work somehow. And thanks again for your great work and professionalism during NATO......NOT !!!!! now Eff your furlo extension and your other summer plans.

You do not need probable cause to make a street stop. All you need is reasonable belief. You need probable cause to make an arrest. However, be prepared to articulate the reason for the stop. Document it on a contact card. If after making a street stop based on reasonable beleif, you develop probable cause and make an arrest, a contact card is not necessary. Stay safe and back each other up.

And this means exactly WHAT Mr. 29 years and DONE??

I'll let you in on a little secret, dumbass. While you were hiding under a rock for your whole career, a new breed of "boss" has taken control of this joint. Bosses too dumb to cover their tracks and too scared to keep their mouths shut when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. They will sing like canaries when it's either them or someone else losing their pension. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "there's no honor amongst thieves"..the new breed of police bosses couldn't keep a secret or run game to save their lives. And technology is a thiefs ( AND a jagoff bosses) worst enemy. I will take the original posters advice and do a little bit of candid camera just like I do for my side gig for the insurance company. And your little half-assed explanation as to why someone was excused by the WC for just cause will work once, maybe twice. Too bad stupid bastards like yourself will fail to see what everyone else sees - the pattern.

It sure is apparent you didn't learn much in 29 years grandpa. Maybe go comb in a bit more Alberto V05 to feel better?

Seems 12 is very short Sgt's on days and calls all the other districts in the area asking for a Sgt. When they were asked if they use the CAPS Sgt or a Tact Sgt to fill in, the response from the front office was my CAPS Sgt won't be touched. So they call and ask for a Sgt almost every single day. Must be nice not to have to pitch in and help out.

OT- but not really....

Attended FOP mtg. on Tuesday and Shields danced around the upcoming contract negotiations. He said that City lawyer Franczek was on a fact finding mission with Teachers Union for six weeks and would contact FOP after that.

Doesn't it seem odd that the City hasn't given the FOP a list of proposals? The City is dealing with every other Union but FOP. I know the reason - FOP forgot to get that Article 28.1 letter in on time. So this means our contract is now extended to June 30, 2013 and the City also told FOP that it will be the last union it negotiates with. Why won't FOP tell its members this info? How much bargaining power does FOP have really now?

Just a question regarding furlo extensions. And before you say get off your lazy ass and look up the general orders or look at the contract,or call FOP I already did. But can someone clarify if there is anything in writing regarding how long you can extend your furlo. Word of mouth or district/w/c rules sometimes says the Sunday before or the Saturday after the segment. Yet some peoples extensions are being denied and some p.o.s are allowed less than 21 days total(some only given 16 days which is basically a 2 day extension to your 14 day segment furlo), yet other p.os I know have been granted up to 28 days on a half segment furlo. Does anyone know if there is an answer in writing or is it the w/c's discretion?
------------------------------------------------

The agreement between the Department and the FOP is that if you work the 4 and 2 schedule a furlough extension is to your RDOs on the front and your RDOs on the end. If you are in a fix DOG working 5 on 2 off then you are able to extend to your RDOs on either the front or the end but not both, one or the other.
In my opinion this was a quick agreement and not well thought out, furloughs are not equal for everyone. Depending where your RDOs fall you can end up with a maximum furlough anywhere between 19 days and 26 days, and if you have a Commander or XO who are to scared to use discretion to allow you to extend it further than the general order allows like we do that's exactly what you will get.

Now he holds a gold star and cares about one person, and believe me, it is not anyone in a blue shirt. Want an example? Ask any of the officers that he denied entry to the stanley cup viewing a few years back.

Anyone...ANYONE...that does a lick of proactive police work or revenue generation at the request or cajoling of some Bosshole after being denied time off is a fucking idiot.

Effected blue shirts need to do what some of the fellas (and gals) have been doing in a certain, to remain anonymous, district; the documenting of how the 'privileged' white shirts come and go as they please, oftentimes still splitting the shift as WC (or whatever they're called now).

It doesn't take much time or effort to film the arrival and departure times of your favorite time due-denying supervisor and then get a copy of the A & A's to corroborate the double standard. If you really want to be sneaky, coordinate with an RDO coworker to capture the arrival of these dummies at their residence while still on the clock. Sorry, but all bets are off when the Lt or Cpt says I can't have Saturday off for my kid's birthday and then they leave (again) four hours after they reported for duty.

You fuck with my time with my family? I'm gonna fuck you twice as hard. Believe that.

Hey goof, how can you defend daddy (unless you're powder's daddy) when the kid has been locked up a bunch of times. The 3rd watch has grabbed him 4 times alone. I never delt with momma and I have only seen the old man driving around GR in his mid life crisis vette.

And I don't believe the original post Was irresponsible nor do I think it was denying a problem with other gangs or areas of 008.
And powders one of those catholic school (st Dan) kids and nonody can deny carter isnt a crazy roach gangbanger. So how do you say he's not bad, dads not bad, but the city worker kids think they're untouchable. Isn't that kind of exactly what the first post was saying?

All I want is GR to remain safe and a nice place to life and I think that's all anybody who is concerned with the problem wants also.

This is classic, limit resources, i.e. time off, assignments, promotions and you'll have people stabbing each other in the back to get a benefit. It's sad to see the hostility toward each other. The plans to harm others or rat on them is pathetic. This is the new police dept.

As stated before, we are our own worst enemies. All the griping about this person has this assignment, that person has that assignment has created a climate of fewer assignments available which only hurts beat cops who will have no where to go when experiencing burnout.

All the talk about the zillions of lazy coppers that are abusing the medical, when in reality it was 1% of the force, not excusable at all but, led to a reduction of our previous medical policy.

All the griping about no manpower etc has led to time off being extremely limited. Whatdid you expect? But this is not news. Time off in the summer has almost always been limited in the summer in my district. It's nothing new. What is new is the cops who want to purposely jam others up. Just remember you are creating more restrictions down the line for yourself no matter who you throw under the bus.

Lastly, all the talk about laying down and not doing anything is going to bite us in the butt as well. The problem is that the public that reads this forum doesn't realize that this is not true. Cops are not laying down but doing their job. Those that don't are few and not respected. To any cop who thinks its cool to do nothing, remember you are creating a climate of lawlessness that will affect you or another cop. That's not the oath we took nor is it a solution. You will have the blood of another cop on your hands.

Stop throwing everyone under the bus. Stop ratting and being envious of others. It is a sin and the powers that be along with each of us has created this climate of limited resources. Stand above it and fight the real fight, not each other. This will be over one day and we'll get to the other side. Let's just hope we can get there without hurting each other.

The private sector has the same mentality and bash public workers because some in the the private sector lost their pension. Their solution is to hurt others rather than go after the real problem of theft, misuse of pension funds. We don't think that's right yet we do essentially the same thing when faced with limited resources. It's pathetic.

Read the order. Furloughs can be extended on front and back of the segment up to your next RDOs. Yes, it's unfair because of your day off group. And don't forget, management DOES NOT have to let you extend past the segment. Any other days past your RDOs is not an authorized extension, also.

The ONLY guaranteed time off are your RDOs (and even they can be cancelled) and your assigned furlo segment. Although sergeants always get their personal days.

Any other time off is only at management discretion. So, the shorter we get in manpower, the less time off will be given.

Yes I do live here and yes I am a cop. So why was it when my house was burglarized I was able to call in a burglary in progress to a p.o.s house, leave work and drive home(20 minutes), then enter my house through the kicked in door to make sure it was safe, then wait another hour for p.o.s to arrive then give me attitude and then give me a fucking criminal damage to property report then leave. Way to protect the homefront and way to be helpful and courteous to another p.o. And as far as stopping the gangbangers that's great but I wouldn't consider my 11 year old son wearing a polo shirt and checkered shorts who just walked out of the house with school books in hand would pass as a gangbanger.

to the goof that posted about the Catholic school kids ... they act untouchable ... and they are a problem too cause Mommy and Daddy are the POLICE, fireman , or city worker. Once of the little smart asses mommy works for Alderman Z and thinks he can do anything.

Ok I understand no kid is perfect but I don't remember learning that if a kid is a smart ass it isn't a reason to pull him over, search his pockets and shoes, make him kneel on the street while you go search up and down the gangways looking for something to put on them.Maybe some of you hard ass 008dist cops can drop the hard ass attitude. Maybe your bad ass attitude leads to the kids smart ass attitude. And yes I am a P.O. who witnessed this on several occasions and yes I confronted the officers why he is searching my son and a half a block area only to get that dumb fuck look and stutter. Not every kid is a shit head. Try to differentiate between a decent kid and a gangbanger.

True for about 90% of the male population.

Well if you had a problem, call for a supervisor. Simple as that. I'm sure I could speak with people where you work and find some citizens who weren't satisfied with your police service. Not every police officer is perfect. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean all cops on the west end are assholes. I happen to think they do a great job for the most part. If it took a long time for police to get there-thank your mayor for having 1 car assigned to beat 811 and one to beat 812 and a very busy district that is dangerously short on manpower. There are some dogs, that applies to any job. For the most part, the 8th district cops on the west end are concerned with the 10 sector and do the best they can.

As a copper living on beat 2411, I can verify your claim, regarding the more than adequate manpower in 024. You guys are always loaded to the gills with po's.
