Cameras and microphones in squad cars
We knew it was coming. A SecondCityCop reader expands on the virtues of the cameras and microphones in squad cars.
Seems that there is now widespread use, so Big Brother is on the move. Their traffic stops are going to be recorded (this means you), their in-car conversations are going to be recorded, and anything else personal that the public doesn't need to know will now be on audio and video record that is property of the Chicago Police Department (this means them). P.O.s, beware. Dispatchers, too. If you get pulled over and try to sweet-talk and flirt your way out of a ticket as you tend to do (it usually isn't necessary), you're probably being recorded.
At least you're being recorded when the things work. There were plenty of units held down in the station at the end of last week, on events like "GOIN: CAMERA NOT WORKING."

channel 5 news today Williams says there is no manpower shortage, and the reason people are not getting a timely response, is because the dispatchers are not utilizing the gang and tact resources we have.
Closing statement, expect a barrage of calls demanding gang and tact teams to respond to callers doors.
Who was that undercover dispatcher they interviewed, Kudos to you, too bad they still didn't get the idea of it.
Williams really sold out the OEMC tonight. Its to bad the media does such a half assed investigation and even poorer report. They should emand the figures on RAPs citywide.
