BIG SHAKEUP

Jody came out firing today and big changes are the result.

Jimmy Jackson 11th District Commander to First Deputy Superintendent

Beatrice Cuello 10th District Commander to Deputy Superintendent, Bureau of Patrol

Mike Shields Area 2 Deputy to Deputy Superintendent Bureau of Strategic Deployment

Steve Peterson Area 4 detectives to Deputy Superintendent, Bureau of Investigative Services



The Tribune is reporting that Charlie Williams, Hirum Grau and John Risley were all offered a choice of being demoted or leave, and they chose to leave. Jody also announced the creation of a new Bureau of Profesional Standards to be headed by Peter Brust, former special agent in-charge of the FBI field office in Los Angeles.

Is this just the start of things to come? What happens to Debra Kirby and Matt Tobias? The way I read it they will come under new Deputy Pete Brust.

According to the department website;
The Bureau of Professional Standards is a new bureau which encompasses several functions such as the Internal Affairs Division and Training.


I can think of a few district commanders that need to be given the same offer as Williams, Grau and Risley. I can also think of a few district commanders who stars will rise as a result of these changes.

I believe that 004 commander's star is rising. Too bad, 004 is a great place to work with that guy at the helm.

Just the fact that Shields got anything but fired proves that nothing has changed.

Sure I can. The time I posted, the Tribune story was mostly a reprint of the department press release not the more in depth story you read now. Also at that time no other media even had a release. I then went to the department website and it already had the Bureau of Professional Standards listed and I quoted what it.

Hey 11:28 your an idiot I hope he gets dumped he has no management skills, was never a Wacth Commander or in charge of more than a tact team, he can't manage manpower just look at the sheets,(all three watchs) all personnel are on days, 3rd and 1st watch a severely lacking in P.O.'s and supervison. Only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

I heard the C.O. of Mdwy Airport Lt. Moran was bought in and asked if he would be interested in the 004th Dist. Commander position.

Anybody know anything about this guy ????

Some say it's Lieutenant Moron not Moran.

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