Bunch of people posting about CTA Special employment being ended. Then this popped up in the media:
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to hire 50 full-time police officers to patrol rail and bus stations around the city.
The officers will come from the fall class of the Chicago Police Academy and will be detailed to public transportation by the spring of 2012.
"It brings a level of security that is comprehensive. . .so people going to and from neighborhood to neighborhood can feel safe," Emanuel said at the Ashland and Lake Green Line stop. "In this case, we are putting more police on the platform."
So is this a new Unit? If so, doesn't it have to be filled by seniority 80/20? There is something about that in the contract we think.
And if it is being built from the ground up, how many CTA rail and bus stations are there around the city? Just off the top of our head, we could name well over 100. And they're open on all three shifts. So what manner of bullshit is this coming from City Hall?
The only good thing is it confirms a fall class of recruits going through the Academy.
