The rumor mill is in full swing, and goodness knows cops can't resist a good rumor:
- Your going to love this SCC and readers! Starting tomorrow the last class of recruits from the now empty academy will be assigned with 1 academy instructor top patrol Michigan Ave 10 recruits to 1 instructor! No FTO pay,nothing extra "reality what a concept!"
If they were actually pushing through Academy classes, this would be a good thing. Every new body gets 90 or 180 days downtown. High visibility patrol, walking posts, fresh air, citizen interaction, and all sorts of action due to the mob attacks. But putting the last class through - what are there, fifty of them? It's a start, not a solution.
- All full duty p.os and sgts gone from 35. Including nurses. Admin and district spots next.
Is this an additional dump? Because we thought they had covered this about two weeks ago along with the TRU/MSF disbanding. We realize McCarthy said he'd bring paperwork to a standstill in order to man the streets, but the downside is that the incompetence of the command staff will be brought to full light without .... wait a minute. There isn't a downside. Carry on.
- Central Control Group is on the chopping block.
Good riddance. A useless subdivision of the Department created for the sole purpose of giving Shortshanks' fishing partner an undeserved deputy slot with all the overhead and none of the investigatory responsibilities needed to run an Area.
