2211A, why do we have it?

Okay, it is MTGP's understand that 2211A was created to add that 2nd car to 2211's beat to maintain a vehicle on the beat at all times. Why? Because sometimes 2211 gets called off the beat. Especially at a time when the city of Chicago has been downsizing its police department. MTGP is asking this rhetorical question because MTGP heard that last night, 2211A was posted on a fixed patrol post from 113th to 117th and Church st? Wait a second, that is not on 2211's beat? So, a vehicle with the beat number 2211 included in it was not assigned to 2211. Hmmm...makes you wonder if anyone really cares about Mount Greenwood. If you are going to assign 2211A to any beat for a fixed post, why not in a location on 2211? Just a thought. MTGP guesses the powers that be, with the low number of police officers, have decided to use their assigned resources wherever they so choose, except where they are supposed to be used. This needs to be addressed to the 22nd district as well as to the 19th ward alderman's office. If there is enough pressure, the powers that be will reassign 2211A to its rightful place, on 2211's beat.

What's the complaint? Your Alderman was at the last beat meeting and stated that 2211 and 2211A are not pulled to the east to cover Julian, Morgan Park HS, Fenger and Roseland Community Hospital as reported at previous beat meetings. She implied that there is beat integrity. Your families are not left as sitting ducks while your squad is pulled.....

You do not have the responsibility of protecting your own homes while your squad is away....

The commander of 008, with balls Kupczyk keeps beat 811,812 and throws in 859 to add more police service to the west end of 008, you know the area that taxpayers actually pay for!!

That is the way it should be done. If that is was Kupczyk does, he should be praised for his actions.
