A new village president and police chief later, the cop department is notified that the deputy chief is to be on the afternoon shift. It was no secret that the new chief was not too friendly with the deputy chief so the less he saw of him the happier the new chief would be. The chief’s unfriendliness with Forest View cops dates back to his days in Stickney. Forest View cops would drive by calls near the Stickney border and offer assistance. The Stickney sergeant would wave off all help from Forest View sometimes nicely and others with some profanity and anger. If the nice Forest View cops were garbage cans or water coolers, they would have probably been kicked a few times. With the incumbent deputy chief on afternoons, the freshly minted sergeant was on the day shift hanging out in the office next door to the papa chief. The bro-mance was rekindled and that’s when things in “Funny View” took a turn for the worst. All the Forest View cops started to notice the spark in the eyes when those two were in the same room together. The pair began to line up their ducks and made moves without consulting the deputy chief. When you know, you know. And the deputy chief was well aware of the process taking place to move him aside. With all the tension and no other option left, the deputy chief resigned therefore opening the door for the new leader in training who was known for his long lectures on how to be the police.
A leader leads by example and backs his troops 110%. When the new chief was appointed, he was heard saying he had to take care of his “guys” first. Instead of responding like a leader to problems within the cop department, he responds with an immature remark which just solidifies the culture he brings to the table:
Oh those pesky unattended computers screens. Looks like they need to send additional persons to that Forest View remedial field training. Here's a free lesson:
- Chapter 3.6 - Things you don't write in official email
Never write stupid things in email communications that you won't want others to discover. If within 10 feet from the person you wish to share stupid things with, yell, call or knock on the wall to call them over. Say the stupid things in person and spare yourself the embarrassment of being bitten by the wandering eyes armed with a cellphone camera.

That's why deperty chef sal doesn't like anyone around with experience or compatence. They know he's full of $%##.
Garbage cans, doors and water coolers in Stickney rejoiced the day they found out Wiseman was retiring.
But now the doors of funny view are sure feelin it. Good thing they don’t have water coolers.
DCMP was doomed the minute they hired Wiseman. If it wasn't cemetery chippers, it was imbiSal blowing light romantic smoke up Wiseman's ass about DCMP.
from sgt to dc in a flash. way too fast srodoc, you weren't and aren't ready.
sincerely,
me.
Canal Bank Road “B” watching Comcast was a great asset to the department.
Are we talking about the MP who help a guy steal a car?
You mean Kinder Morgan Chip who maxed out the air card watching YouTube videos on how to keep a rich wife happy?
It gets lonely in the cemetery. Once you put on your 10 miles on the squad, what else is there to do?
Agreed!
39 years and still has no idea what he is doing....
It seems the wrong man for the job is an common theme at Funny View. Fire Chief Tugboat Tommy is completely unqualified to be Fire Chief, you would think after 39 years in the fire service (a little fact that he likes to bring up in every conversation)he would have some clue on what he is doing. Unfortunately he does not. Besides being the comic relief for the department, no one knows what he does around the firehouse. I mean he is obviously busy, since his work day starts at 10:30am and the first thing on the agenda is figuring out what's for lunch. He may send out some emails that would only make sense if a child wrote them or someone just learning the English language. Then he responds on every call no matter how routine, and does a great job of getting in the way. Nobody wants him there because he is a hindrance, embarrassment and safety issue. But he has to be there so people can see he is the fire chief, or in case he has to break into a residents house without cause.
Besides that he spends the rest of the day making no decisions and offers nothing of value to the department. He is afraid to make a decision about anything because he is so afraid people won't like him, so nothing changes. He constantly asks people's opinions because he has no ideas of his own. And don't ask him to buy anything for the department,he's too afraid of the village manager and trustees to make a decision and buy anything (besides stupid ambulance stress balls and colorful pens). Maybe he is trying to stay under the radar so he doesn't lose his job.
So unless the qualifications for fire chief have changed to telling 39 year old war stories that no one cares about, or listening to a man babble through a sentence for 15 minutes and still making no sense, this is obviously a good old boy political hire at its best.
You could put a mop behind the Chief desk and it would accomplish more. As stated before the only thing that could be worse than Tugboat Tommy is the fat footless wonder from a department north of Funny View.
You mean Ol' Stinkfoot?
Staff and Command School
Congratulations! All your appearances of working hard, back stabbing, and politicking have paid off. You made it to our Staff and Command School. Upon graduating, you will become one of the “elite” in the Chicagoland Police world. We realize that the FBI National Academy would have been your first choice, but most #1’s do not want their #2’s to “out diploma” them. Upon completion of this school, you will be awarded a kick ass diploma and coffee cup, which you can proudly display in your office to show those under you that you are truly the smartest in your Department and are about to embark on the next phase of your law enforcement journey: Getting that #1 spot!
Week 1: You are the best!
You will learn in this class to carry yourself and act as if you are the most knowledgeable person ever to put on the uniform. Remember to ALWAYS wear the uniform, even if only one of your subordinates are present. This is to remind them at all times, that you are the boss. The first day of this class will have each student dress in their #2 uniform in front of a full length mirror and say out loud phrases such as “I am the boss, ” “That’s a direct order,” “If I wasn’t the best, would I be here,” and “Your services are no longer needed.” ALWAYS answer phones, send emails, etc. with your title preceding your name. Let anyone coming in contact with you know of your rank status.
Week 2: Hiring and firing
After week one’s exercise of believing you are the smartest, now’s the time to put that into practice. Hire people, who may not be the most competent, but are loyal to you. They don’t have to necessarily be loyal to the #1, but to you. This is done by letting those new hires know that their law enforcement career is in your hands and that you will expect, well, demand that they be your eyes and ears in the department. And that any failure at that expectation will be cause for termination. Always let them know that you will make sure they never will work in LE again if they waver in this task.
Once you have identified those not loyal to you, it’s time to act swiftly and decidedly in cutting that cancer from the roster. No matter what they’re work performance or experience may be. This is best done by informing them they are fired when they least expect it. This does not have to necessarily be done in person, but may be done via telephone, email, or even Facebook. You may also have a subordinate supervisor do this to really show that employee how much he doesn’t matter to you. If firing someone in person, give them whatever reason may come to mind at the time, whether true or not. If in person, always give a long lecture to that employee on how disappointed you are in their performance or how some obscure rule violation can bring down the whole department. Remember if your brain cannot come up with a reason for the employee’s termination, a “one size fits all” reason is “The Department is going in a different direction and you don’t fit in with that vision.” Have that now ex employee remove their star and department ID card from their wallet and hand it to you. Make sure to place it on the edge of your desk facing the ex employee so they can see it while you berate them about how disappointed you are in them. Remember only firing is not enough. You must make that employee feel humiliated and degraded, or you wouldn’t be doing your job.
Week 3: Going from #2 to #1
There’s one more rung on that ladder to success. Getting that #1 spot! Remember , timing is everything. Keep that knife hidden, but when you pull it out, act swiftly and decisively before #1 knows what is happening. You will only have one chance at this. You do not want to miss. Nothing worse than a failed coup and having your star and ID card displayed on #1’s desk, for all to see what happens when you go after the King and miss. Binge watch Game of Thrones to see what happens. You’ll want to identify politicians, business leaders, and influential community members to put in the “friendly” column. Have “accidental” meetings with these people. Have short conversations with them about the department during these accidental meetings. Remember during these conversations, terms such as, “If I was Chief, I would have…,” and “That was the Chief’s call….” or “He/She was the Chief’s hire,” are invaluable. If you are successful in overthrowing #1, those same people that put you in the driver’s seat will expect you to reciprocate. You may have to hire someone’s mentally deficient nephew, make a few P-tickets disappear, or be at the beck and call of a business owner in town. This all comes with adding that extra star on your collar. It will all be worth it when you hang your diplomas and display your new “Chief” coffee cup in the “big office.” But be cautious about appointing your #2. He may have graduated from this class.
I always wondered what they learned in those classes. Makes sense now.
Forest view cops are worthless, and unnecessary. Save us the money and have county patrol it. Our guys are hacks and cowards. Sit on stop signs all day or harass drunk girls on archer on the weekends nights. My bro is CPD and always tells me what laughing stocks those guys are when they go into Garfield ridge and try to play police
Oh,oh, made second city cops again.

How about the girlfriend of a west suburb cop who almost hit a trooper on I-55 and how the big guys in Forestview tried to get her off the hook for a dui. ISP is none too happy about little FV meddling in their shit. FV even fired a guy over it to keep it quiet.
