This might eventually be the truth:
- There is a memo floating around out there from the ever flamboyant JL outlining the pending changes. 19 and 23 merging but the building is staying open. 21 split between 2 and 1, and 13 combining with 12. The areas will be south - 4,5,6,7, and 22. Central will be 2,3,8,9,10,11,and 18. The remainder will be North. North patrol area offices will be in 25, Central in 10 and south in 5. Det will come out of Belmont and Western - North (no they are not closing the bldg), 51st - Central and 111th st - South. Not rumor, fact. Saw it in writing, just not sure how to upload the file or I would. Also, Capt's have agreed to become XO's. One XO per commander and 5 inspectors. Lt.'s to become watch co-ordinators, not watch commanders. No extra pay, just more responsibility. The rest is yet to be seen. Hang on with both hands, it is going to be a wild ride.
It pieces together a lot of stuff we've seen, what other people have seen and what's been e-mailed or commented on.
