When the bank accidentally credits your bank account more than you are entitled to, they take it back. When a village employee buys more than their share of a uniform allowance or an unapproved expensive watch, the village takes it back. The village will take every penny of their money back unless you are the deputy chief. The village ordinance explicitly prohibited the deputy chief from collecting overtime. An ordinance that according to Mark Masciola has since changed, or has it? Larry Powell and his side kick Mark allowed the deputy chief to continue accruing compensatory time at the overtime rate after being crowned with his new position on Gary’s lap. The deputy chief logged compensatory time for “overtime” he worked covering department absences. Rodriguez even logged compensatory time at time and a half for Voluntary overtime, Holiday pay and Administrative duties.
Wait what? Wait a minute here! We paid him overtime to do the administrative job he is paid a salary to do??? Holiday overtime pay??
It only gets better. With Rodriguez’ new promotion, he got himself a huge raise. Rodriguez began to cash out his compensatory time at his deputy chief pay rate in what is called a “comp time buy back”. Compensatory time that was mostly earned when he was at the sergeant rank and new compensatory time that he should have never been allowed to accrue.
So what happened? The board defended Rodriguez but then abruptly put a stop to his overtime. Could this be because the ordinance never changed, and Larry lied again? A step in the right direction but what about the money Rodriguez was paid out that he wasn’t entitled to? Maybe the village should give back the watch money and forgive the indebtedness of those who went over the uniform allowance.
There should be an audit of Rodriguez’ overtime and payouts since he became the deputy chief. But with the accidental village president Larry Powell at the wheel, that will never happen. The village moves mountains for Rodriguez and Wiseman. Makes us wonder why.
Unbelievable.

No more OT for doing what you're paid to do already. I guess you'll be seeing less of the Dumpty Chef around the station after 1500 hrs. Bet coke bottle glasses kid has already informed him of this blog post. Maybe the AG's Office should be apprised of #2's theft of village money. How much time has he been getting for chasing truants and checking residency for Plainfield High Schools? Bet an FOI of his hours worked there will overlap his OT in Funnyview. The "Douple Dippin' Dumpty Chef!"
Whole lot of time on your hands when OP is unemployed huh.
Naw,a lot of posting at work, although I elect not to use the car computer or station computers. We do enjoy seeing how a dysfunctional, third rate place operates. Maybe a few of you will be on the unemployment line. Double dipping, stealing or, covering DUI's,fake IOD'S, refusing to answer calls. FD in disarray. You guys got it all going on in that little suburb. Keep it going, it's entertaining.
Just because it takes you an hour and a half to formulate a sentence, doesn't mean everyone spends as much time as you on here.
The county needs to come in and save our tax dollars from these greedy part timers
When you figure that people like Chip and Erica get about $90K + a year with OT for what they do (or don't do)and Gary gets $90K a year to sleep, Sal gets somewhere in the mid $80's (plus his theft of OT) for whatever the fuck he's doing, who's the greedy ones?
Sounds like jealousy
Erica and Chip have been stealing for years. Go to work and do nothing. One sits at Kinder Morgan or the cemetery all day watching netflix and the other drives in circles away from trouble.
Who’s the midnight guy who drives on the city side harassing drunk females on archer?? CPD buddy of mine said one of their LTs daughters got harassed by a FV guy while she was trying to walk home from one of the fine establishments over there

This is about the fourth time you post this comment. If this really happened, it probably happened 10 years ago and that midnight guy would have been the deputy chief when he was on midnights.
YEAH! that is exactly who it was. When he worked mids he hung out by us in McCook trying to catch him a stripper from All Stars. He was never in forest view when he was on shift.
Yeah, jealous of being the laughingstock of west suburban Police departments. Too bad nobody there could ever work at a real PD. Us over in Berwyn and Cicero laugh our asses off at these comments. Between chip, the chief, deputy chief, and that girl erica, who else is there left at that place?
Ya there are a lot of stories of him being everywhere but where he should have been on mids... And even now, what’s he doing all day that he needs to put in OT for Administrative duties??? Isn’t that what he supposed to be doing all day??
Oh Mccook pipe down. It’s hard to hear you over that overpaid truck lot security guard outfit.

You mean it is hard to hear us when you are sleeping in the cemetery all day long....
Seems like McCook has enough problems without any need to point out ours. There may be mixed reviews about our president, do I have to mention yours?
Forest view cops are making themselves look like the biggest idiots. McCook "hold my beer!"
But at least Mccook can man their firehouse 24/7, not have to ask surrounding towns to take their calls for them.. They have their share of problems forsure, but they are obviously being addressed. Unlike Forest View, they know about it but just keep making up more bullshit to try and justify it.
Is McCook using an anonymous blog? If so, I doubt anything is being addressed
Did you mean that McCook is addressing their own problems or that the FBI is addressing mccooks problems?
Again, all this talk about what the view is doing wrong but Mccook is just as bad.
Someone should also check on how many days Erica worked at the floor mat factory when he was IOD and unable to drive around the block in Funnyview.
