The makings of a Scandal?
Word is spreading around the Ops Floor that the Director of Personnel was allegedly arrested last night for criminal damage to property and - get this - cocaine possession.
Of course everyone's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but we hear that the cocaine possession, true or not, is getting "swept under the rug," so it would never see the light of day in court anyway.
This strikes us as odd, because we believe this is the same person who we've heard has a horribly nasty attitude towards PCOs who need to deal with the off-site Personnel department. And it strikes us as a slap in the face because if someone alleged that one of US got slapped with allegations (at this point, that's all they are, you know) of narcotics possession, we wouldn't get it swept under the rug.
We'd probably be indefinitely suspended without pay pending the results of the investigation, which would include a drug test.

Off topic, I heard the TMA who was hit by a car on 07 march DIED on 10 march. How sad.
Truth is this could happen on any given day. Majority of those TMA's aren't very good at directing traffic, they just seem to make it worse, especially when they stand right in the middle of the lane!!
How many days before the family files a lawsuit. Somehow the City will be held accountable.
The city should be held accountable, there is no reason not to have those men and women properly trained! It's an extremely dangerous job, that the city pays an hefty hourly wage for, to lure and exploit lower middle and middle class people to the job and away from the $10 per hour jobs that have benefits. It's easy to deceive a poor person, who is going to look at thier paycheck double and don't have the luxury of looking at benefits. There is no reason to have men and women standing in intersections such as Garfield/Cicero in the rain, at 10 pm when the lights work perfectly well. Shame on the city for not supporting their workers once again. I hope the family sues the living daylights out of the Chicago.
Back to the topic:
What is really sad about this whole incident is that he probably won't be fired. He will be reassigned to another job in another department. Probably at slightly lower pay or no pay reduction at all.
If you don't believe me look at his predecessor T.S. She sunk personnel to a new low with her ineptness and inability to understand state and federal laws. What happened to her, she got re-assigned. If this had been the private sector, she would still be fighting for unemployment.
HMMMMM PERHAPS THIS MAY BE SOMETHING OF INTEREST FOR THE MEDIA ....I FEEL A PHONE CALL TO THE MEDIA COMING ON ....
C-O-C-A-I-N-E
More confirmed rumors Dave DURRRR-an has been running around yapping his mouth as usual. This time he is saying that within a few days he will be promoted to a supervisor. WHAT? Come again? This idiot? He couldn't dress himself in the dark let alone lead others.
Most of what he says turns out to be a load of horse ****. He'll tell you he was switched to afternoons because they needed a kick in the butt and get into gear. What actually happened was he was forcefully transferred there and told to see a shrink. Of course the management has since changed 5 times over, so those who were around then to witness this are now for the most part uninvolved.
But apparently top management (if such a thing exists) has confirmed it to several of his co-workers. Apparently, Mayor Daley's finest (John B and Richy G) are feuding with each other and one is trying to promote him as a retaliatory act. So instead of promoting the people who deserve promotions, they promote the person who is probably least fit just to spite other managers. Its a sad state of affairs at the OEMC when people who deserve to be promoted are passed up for dingbats like this. But hey who is suprised? The OEMC doesn't value good workers and hasn't for a long time they only value those with political pull.
I give him about 2 days before he makes some huge mistake (I've heard he already makes at least several huge mistakes a week). This week he called up a co-worker at home and started chewing her out for something he thought was done wrong when in fact it was perfectly correct what she did.
Let us all pack our bags and go home now if we're smart!
And no I don't think he has done cocaine lately, but in between talking about his great lady and his great lawn he'll probably have no problem telling you all about what a great joint he rolls. I'm guessing now he has moved on to drugs of the RX kind so as not to disturb his precious retirement soon.
Ladies & Gentlemen:
The weather is improving and you all know what that means.
It's time for....
Excedrin® Migraine, VISINE-A® Dry eye relief, & Low Carb Monster ©!! Keep the faith.
Love,
Been there, done it
OMG please tell me this is a BAD joke. DD has been so full of himself forever I am surprised his head hasn't exploded!!!!!
HA HA HA WELCOME TO CPD!
Whats with taking us off jobs and assigning us others?
Fuck Your pencil neck geek bosses and there dispatch everything as fast as you can crap.
Come out here and deal w/our crap!
Actually, fuck you. Its YOUR bosses who wrote the policy, not the OEMC's bosses.
So Mr. Internet Tough Guy, go to the next exempt you see and address your comments to him or her, and all the rest until the policies are changed.
Oh I'm sure you'll find a way to keep believing its the strangers that are accountable. CPD, heal thyself. Now get back to work ya lazy dog.
11:56 AM,
Right on. Right on. Right on. Couldn't have said it better. You hit the proverbial nail on the head! They are just pissed because, like we have been for a long time, now their own bosses are on to them!
Hey cpddispatch:
Just Curious, Where do you draw the line on whose full names you allow to be posted? and whose you don't? Scrolling through this site, it seems that you allow many, many full names to be printed, and then every so often you don't. In this thread alone, someone put Dave Duran's name..........
OFF TOPIC:
Will the 1st watch female dispatcher on zone 13 (not you "B") please do us a favor and quit or at least go to a slower zone. A few suggestions are zones 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 or a nice citywide.
0952
That is a PO . With probably 4 times the amount of time on the job than you have. So either put up or bid out to another district, or a nice citywide unit with the exception of 009 or 012. Oh yea don't come to my zone either, I don't want for myself or any of the wonderful men and woman working out there in the field to have to listen to your crybaby babble.
Deal with it.
That is a PO . With probably 4 times the amount of time on the job than you have
First off, I highly doubt that she has 48 years on. Secondly, P.O. or not, I don't need the life story of the caller, just give me the call and shut it. Thirdly, stop asking stupid questions and hold the air when there is a chase or some other volitile situation going on. And lastly, when officer safety is at stake I'm going to be a crybay and I'm not going to deal with it.
I hope the Dave D thing is a sick joke, but knowing our management I'm sure it isn't. I too have heard the rumors, which no doubt DD himself is making sure everyone knows of. He is so clueless and probably has no idea he is the laughing stock of the world. That's how full of himself he is.
Has anyone actually seen his wife? Or his clean car? Or his perfectly groomed grass? Can he just shut up about these things already? He doesn't do anything useful all day and blabbing about these things is the last thing anyone cares about. Who would marry him?? She must be on a lot of drugs. I've heard his daughter is an addict too!
I do believe they would promote someone just to piss others off. it's their sick way of keeping turnover high (then not giving anyone lunches when there isn't anyone to work). All of the good people over there have left or are planning to leave.
Off topic, Ce Ce on zone 11, 3rd watch rocks. Please tell her to keep up the good work "maam"
QUESTION...IS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF BECOMING A DISPATCHER ONE THAT IF UR A FEMALE U HAVE TO WEIGH AT LEAST 200+ POUNDS......GOT SOME HEFTY ONES UP THERE AT OEMC....I THOUGHT U PEOPLE HAD A WORKOUT ROOM.?!?!?!?
there's a workout room but since we're forced to work overtime during lunch we can't use it
Question? is one of the requirements of being a police officer that you be a dickless, cocky , superficial asshole?
to the above comment, you forgot LAZY
3:39PM....
ITS ALL GOOD....SOME OF US OUT HERE HAVE "TALENTED DISPATCHERS" WHO CAN PARTY ON OUR ZONE.. WHO PROVIDE "SPECIAL SERVICES" !! ...ITS A WONDER HOW THEY R STILL ABLE TO DISPATCH THE NEXT DAY. U WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE "LOCK JAW" !!!.......!!!!3RD WATCH HAS THE "FREAKIST DISPATCHERS" ...TOO BAD THEIR NOT THE TYPE OF GURL U BRING HOME TO MOM .....
"dickless"?....yes, because that's the result of the current CPD brass orders and directives; "cocky and superficial"?...yes, that's part of the recipe for survival (mental, emotional, and intellectual) on the street...
Can't we all just get along?
I know which dispatcher you are referring to and PLEASE don't lump us all in with her.....we are well aware of her antics and reputation and please believe me when I say we are not all like her on the third watch..there's a lot of people married and in committed relationships and single people who don't even date the police. Most of us are shocked by the things she does and the pictures she brings in to prove it...she's actually proud of this evidence..she thinks its cute and funny and she can't believe, no matter how many people have tried to tell her that you guys don't really like her. But like I said, don't lump us all in with her.
OH SO ITS NOT ONLY THE DISPATCHERS UP THERE PERFORMING "SPECIAL SERVICES " ...I CAN VOUCH FOR ONE PARTICULAR CALLTAKER WHO IS A FEMALE HISPANIC WHO IS QUITE TALENTED TOO ...THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT I WISH SHE DIDNT DROWN HER LIPS IN THAT DARK ASS LIPSTICK ....THAT CAN LEAVE BEHIND EVIDENCE WHICH CAN GET A GUY LIKE ME CAUGHT UP .CAN U GUESS WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT ???
Who cares who is bleeping who ?
Y'all gotta mind yo own bizness!
11:51 Hey holier than thou!
You can't tell me every woman in that room hasn't sucked a dick, will suck a dick or isn't currently sucking someone's dick! It doesn't make you special because you are sucking "your guys' " dick. You are still a cock sucker.
Okay. Enough.
