A couple of comments drawing interest:
- We're being denied comp time due to "manpower shortages". Bosses are claiming some districts may go down to 2 officers allowed CU a night. Anyone else care to weigh in?
And this:
- what is wrong with the 20th District?
The District Commander got caught lying to her troops about taking days off. She told them that HQ demanded BFD or P days to get a day off on a weekend. The affected POs called the FOP and confronted her to see the order. She backed down and let the Time due work. There was no order.
Unfortunately, we're seeing and hearing a lot more of this stuff going on. Each and every instance of it occurring MUST be brought to the attention of the FOP. The City and specifically, ignorant gold stars (but we repeat ourselves) are going to try to circumvent the contract more and more as manpower gets tighter and McCarthy attempts more "reorganization." The only way to address the majority of problems is by redistributing manpower in some way, as seen with the MSF/TRU people. It's permissible by the contract since people voluntarily gave up their rights, but the rest of the Department didn't.
Don't get run over.
