Sneed's Column:

The cop shop . . .
Police Alert! Although acting Police Superintendent Dana Starks seems to be a front-runner for the job as Chicago's top cop, word is Mayor Daley also has his eye on Assistant Deputy Supt. Gene Williams, an ordained minister who is reportedly a favorite among a group of powerful black ministers.

Police officers wearing shorts?

August 3, 2007
C'mon, we don't wear shorts in offices -- you need to look professional. Also, maybe the writer who suggested that should start a health clinic for some of these police officers. If they lose a little weight and get in shape like our military has to get in shape, maybe they wouldn't be as hot. I think we need to do something drastic about overweight police officers. Most of them go on to develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. They couldn't run -- that's why they have to shoot. Mayor Daley, get a boot camp for these cops.

WHO IS THIS GUY FRAWLEY? A FORMER CHICAGO PO FOR 7 MONTHS,DID HE GET FIRED?

Rezko's $50 mil. Iraq deal
Two years ago, Iraq's Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company owned by now-indicted businessman Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop with a checkered financial past. Within a month, an Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo.

Frawley, 56, was a Chicago cop for seven months in 1977. He has owned businesses that sell resins to make plastic bags. He is a friend of Rezko's former business partner Daniel Mahru, an attorney for Companion when it got the Iraqi contract.

Frawley and Rezko owned Companion, according to two sources.

IS PHAT PHIL DRAWING A SALARY FROM OUR CHICAGO POLICE MEMORIAL CONTRIBUTIONS? IF SO,EVERYONE NEEDS TO DEMAND AN ACCOUNTING OF FUNDS AND TO TERMINATE THEIR PAYROLL WITHDRAWALS.

IS THIS WHY PHAT PHIL FORCED EVERYONE TO SIGNUP FOR DIRECT PAYROLL WITHDRAWALS TO THE CHICAGO POLICE MEMORIAL?

IT IS A VERY NOBLE MISSION THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED ALREADY. WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING? WHY ISN'T THERE A FINANCIAL STATEMENT POSTED ONLINE? DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ANY GOLDSTAR FAMILIES ARE RECEIVING FUNDS? I DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE MY MONEY IS BEING SPENT!!!

BLOATED SALARIES FOR "CLOUT BABIES" IS WRONG!!!

Top Cop Shop: Mayor Daley has yet to name his new top cop, but retiring police Supt. Phil Cline knows what he's doing next.
• Translation: Sneed hears Cline has decided to follow his heart and will become the first executive director of the Police Memorial Foundation, which assists families of slain and permanently disabled police officers maimed in the line of duty.

Tipsville: Sneed hears Cline turned down a job as president of a private security firm and as police chief in the suburbs (Cicero?). Word is Cicero President Larry Dominick wanted Cline to clean up crime in the village. CICERO REJECTED PHIL,HE WANTED TOO MUCH MONEY.

Quoth Cline: "The last four years I've gotten close to the Gold Star Families, and I want to make sure their children are taken care of financially. Police Officer Jim Mullen's kids are coming of age to get a degree, and I want to make sure funds are available for all the kids of police officers who put their life on the line." (Mullen is a former Chicago Police officer who was shot in the face and paralyzed while on duty in 1996).

Anger over reported GANG ACTIVITY and other problems in the Dickinson Park area sparked a contentious 2.5 hourlong meeting between police and more than 100 residents.

"You've put this on our plate,"16th District Commander Ralph Price said at the monthly Beat 1624 meeting. "Let us solve it with our resources and working with you. I AM GIVING YOU MORE RESOURCES."
Residents voiced concern at the meeting about what they said was SLOW POLICE RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY CALLS and PROBLEMS OF GRAFFITI AND GANG RECRUITMENT in the park,4101 N. LaVergne Ave. They also reported that there have been a large number of other disturbances near the park,including a recent street brawl,and that teenagers have been loitering in the park's paylot which is restricted to children age 12 and younger.
Commander Ralph Price said that increased patrols are planned for the park and that SEATBELT SAFETY INSPECTIONS may be held near the park in an effort to increase police presence. He said that he will discuss the possibility of installing a SURVEILLANCE CAMERA in the park with the alderman.
COMMUNITY POLICING REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE MAYO'R OFFICE RECOMMENDED THAT RESIDENTS FORM A BLOCK CLUB and THAT THEY WALK AROUND THE PARK shortly before it closes at 9:30PM and report suspicious activity to the police. A Chicago Park District spokeswoman said later that a sign with the closing time of the park is missing but that a new one has been ordered.
Last week the district held an OUTDOOR ROLL CALL in the park,lathough some residents there dismissed the event as a PUBLICITY STUNT. District officials said that more outdoor roll calls are planned for the area,including one which may be held in front of the house of a man who was arrested recently in connection with two incidents near the park.
Also a the meeting,Price responded to accusations THAT THE DISTRICT LACKS SUFFICIENT MANPOWER because one of its two gang teams,each with eight officers and a sergeant if often assigned to violent crime areas in other districts as part of a CITYWIDE EFFORT TO REDUCE THE CITY'S MURDER RATE.
Price said that the Chicago Police Department would be "REMISS" IF IT DIDN'T ASSIGN EXTRA OFFICERS TO HELP SOLVE MURDERS AND THAT THE OFFICERS LEARN VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT GANGS WHEN THEY WORK IN OTHER DISTRICTS,HELPING THEM TO INVESTIGATE SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THE 16th DISTRICT. "I ALWAYS HAVE A GANG TEAM HERE," Price told residents. He added that the district's three tactical teams,each with ten officers and a sergeant assigned,only work in other districts during major events,such as the July 3rd fireworks show.
About a dozen incidents which resulted in police response near the aprk were reported from July1-25,07. Some generated multiple calls to the city's 911 communications center,according to district tactical lieutenant Joseph Shober. In addition about 1,300 calls for police service throughout the beat were reported during the same period.
The distric tis investigating the level of gang activity in the ara,but it is not clear whether gangs played a significant rold in any of the recent incidents which led to arrests near the park,police said.

Subject for the media to address:

The actual Chicago Police Department personnel in full-duty status assigned to district manpower,units,the CPD,etc.

In consideration of the riot lastnight in the 11th District requiring hundreds of officers from various districts to quell further violence this needs to be investigated. The quest for the 2016 Olympics will necessitate that the CPD is manned properly. In the event Chicago is granted the Olympics the city will become a prime target for terrorism.

It is very interesting that Illinois law forbids negotiating police manpower during contract negotiations:
The Illinois Public
Labor Relations Act states in
part in Section 14 (i)(4) the total number
of employees employed by
the department.


The Illinois Public
Labor Relations Act states in
part in Section 14 (i); In the
case of peace officers, the arbitration
decision shall be limited
to wages, hours and conditions
of employment and shall not
include the following 1) residency
requirements, 2) the
type of equipment, other than
uniforms, issued or used, 3)
manning, 4) the total number
of employees employed by
the department.

African Americans are Sick of Illegal Immigration Too:

Black Americans FED UP with Illegal Aliens
Black Americans come together at Los Angeles City hall to voice their opposition to the illegal alien invasion and the federal government's failure to address the crisis.

Ted Hayes and Choose Black America - Leimert Park - Part 1
ChooseBlackAmerica.org was not allowed their 1st Amendment right to assemble and speak freely against the illegal invasion of America.

Ted Hayes, the event organizer, was granted a permit to assemble in Leimert Park but that didn't happen. Instead the LAPD gave the park to illegal aliens and their anarchist and Communist supoorters. The LAPD pushed American citizens up on the sidewalk, roped them off in yellow police tape, and refused to let them have access to the park.

The LAPD stated that they could not control the illegal aliens or their anarchist supporters. The Communists from ANSWER were threatening violence. Citing safety concerns, the police would not allow American citizens to assemble in the park despite their city issued permit.

After hours of playing negotiation games with the LAPD, Ted Hayes and four other Americans were arrested. (more)

SCS NEW TOPIC ! ! !

-----------------------------------

THE DANA STARKS “RACE CARD” SHOW BEGINS

Well Dana STARKS has been the interim Superintendent for not even a week and the “race games” begin!!

As many officers know, people working CHA Special Employment now have to stand in the building for the entire shift. There are only 1 or 2 cars assigned to the “Row Houses” in Cabrini Green on any given night. Working a car therefore is considered a premium.

Word has been sent down to the Commander of 018 and the Watch Commanders; “Black officers are not being given the opportunity to work the cars.” Therefore he would like to have “more black officers” assigned to the cars. Perhaps some officers who normally work the 018 “Housing Cars” on their day off and are connected to Starks are ticked off because they aren’t given the opportunity to work the cars. The cars in the past have usually been assigned by the sergeants on a “first come first serve basis” or if the WC has his regular 018 district people/detectives/other favorites work them.

SPREAD THE WORD out to other officers working CHA. See if they can get the sergeants to admit if they are being given this information. Also, just see for themselves if there is a change in who is getting the car assignments.

At this point I’m not sure a complaint can be lodged. The best thing is that this guy has not been told to put his name in the hat for Superintendent. He would put the department back 20 years with this race garbage.

I was told by the watch commander on the third watch that the 018 commander wanted 018 personnel to have first crack at the car assigned to the row houses because they "know the addresses". When there were no 018 officers, we were told to use our discretion.

Please keep in mind that this is an open blog
that can and is read by people other than Chicago Police Officers.
