We weren't there

So there was a union meeting and yes I know we all should've been there, but some of us weren't. Can someone shed some light as to what happened? Was it productive?

    is off topic.. but I know that many bosses read this blog..

    I live in the 18th dist and I called the police to report a loud party on a busy friday night. the police showed up in less then 5 mins and shut the party down and restored peace.

    I was unable to see the beat that showed up. but they did a great job clearing out 100 kids in 10 mins.

    I then tried to call 311 to see if I could send a message to say thanks to the officers but 311 was unable to do that. 311 then transferred me to 911 and they then sent me to 18th dist desk who then told me that they are unable to take any messages for cars on the street.. they then sent me back to 311 who told me that any words of praise would have to be official and written then sent to the headquarters ( even if I did not have the officers names) so 20 mins later I got nothing.

    AGAIN ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO WAS SAY THANKS FOR A GOOD JOB.


    So it seems that it's so easy to call and complain about the police. But it's so hard, dam near impossible for a citizen to praise the good work of the police.

    so why can't someone make this a little easier.
    In this day and age, why not let citizens call in letters of praise and let it go on the officers record. I would be willing to bet you would have a lot more praise.. then complaints

    In answer to that ......... if you had called 911 to begin with, there are SOME calltakers who probably would have taken the message for you, and sent a message to the dispatchers to give to the beat car... if it was a sincere Thank You.

    Mind you- it is NOT their job to take messages like that. So if they didnt pass it on... then there's not much you can do.

    Also, you were right to call 311 first since this was really not an emergency. Sorry you got passed around on the phone, but Thanks for acknowledging a Job Well Done by the unit in 018.

    It's NOT very often that anyone says anything NICE about the CPD.
    Thanks.

    No offense, but this blog has become just as bad as our other 911 blog. Maybe the mantle should pass to others who would update more regularly?
