Bashing 22nd District Police

MTGP has read a tit for tat regarding officers in 022. Our feelings on this subject are as follows.

If you are the working police, assigned to 2211 or 2211a and make every effort to work your beat, then we welcome you with open arms. Work your beat means stopping people, whether they be police officer's kids or the outsiders that are the biggest problem, answering calls and patroling the neighborhood you are assigned to. Work your beat does not mean go east to get arrests. Wrong place for it.

If name calling of a kid is the biggest complaint, we can live with that. Many times we get only half a story and we do not know what really happened that possibly resulted in the name being called. No appologies necessary. What seperates us from the rest of the 'shitty' is that we do not negatively react to the little things and threaten police with CR numbers and/or IPRA. A thick skin goes a long way and respect does as well.

If you are not the working police and immediately hate everything about Mt. Greenwood, then I am sure there are plenty of openings in 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008 etc... You are not welcome in this district and especially on this beat.

Lastly, if you work in 022, know who you are protecting. The citizens of Mt. Greenwood truly are the tax paying citizens. Some of us our professionals. Some of us are your brothers in blue. Some of us are the rescue workers. Some of us keep Mt. Greenwood alive with our businesses. Ultimately, a large majority of us have your back and respect the work you do. There are not that many places on the southside that you can say that about.

FYI. 2206a or maybe 2206b had two gun turn ins on the 3400 block of 115th st. last week. One .25 found by homeowner in his front yard while he was cutting the grass. Old man a few doors down had a .45 found in his front yard while landscaping company was cutting his grass. Always carry off duty!!!!!!!!

2211R on todays date sent to 105th and charles for a disturbance of some type... again, this is not the fault of the beat cops but of the bosses, sgts and oemc sending them east

Thanks for this post. I truly wish the PO's in 22 would learn a bit of camaraderie and stop the gossip about one another. With poor supervision in 22, all the PO's have in 22...is each other. Morale is low, and it truly shows.

Wake up you goof it's like this in every district not just poor old 22...be it beat 711or 2211 they don't give a shit anymore...even people in MG call IPRA for total BS and try to screw the officer. You got what you asked for the fuzzy police that you don't see.

I heard the morale is bad in 22 also. Plus it would be nice to get some experienced officers who have done their time in a busy district to come here.Im sure they would have no problem working 2211 if asked.Some officers in 22 could learn something from them.I forgot tho,they know everything already.

The Sector concept is from the 80's. Unfortunately, it's dead. Nobody respects it: not the bosses, the oemc, or the beat guys.
