Not once were they able to help in the neighborhood I called home for 6 months. My children were beaten up by school kids... They did nothing. We were constantly harassed by our neighbors... They did nothing. We called for help... They took 35 minutes to arrive. They are so busy giving out parking tickets that drive the average drive into debt further every month than dealing with actual crime....

Well I thought I would review my employer. Where can I start there have been books written on this. First, political corruption has ruined this job. You need to understand that in every job there are jerks but you can not judge by that. This is my perspective, I have been doing this for 10 years and its becoming a dis-service to the community. When I first started we were allowed to do as they call proactive policing. That means finding criminals and arresting them before they commit crime, now they do not want that, they want you to be reactive to policing and arrest people after they commit crime. Secondly, you can not run a police department with politics. The mayor as corrupt as he should police himself, he distances himself by insulating himself by using people to take the fall for him and he states "I don't know anything" thats just silly and Chicagoans buy it? If you have a problem with a few people (bad apples) you can not hold responsible 13,000 police officers. ...
