Burglar Alarm On Ridgeway

Good morning, everyone, it's 7:45am. A change has come to the Chicago Police Department. Now all of the districts seem to be on the same shift times as the 13th and 14th Districts are. I confirmed it as I turned on Zone 12 at 12am because Dispatch was calling cars like "2522Robert" when 2522 wasn't a Robert unit before and they didn't come out 'til 12:30am. The new shift times are in the comments section of this post. I find this change to beneficial because we'll get two man units earlier in the afternoon now, but at the same time, some night units are one man, so we won't have as much officers at night as we did before. So, here's crime for today.

8:41am - Burglar alarm. 2815 N Ridgeway.

8:42 to 8:49am - Beat car 2521 arrives on scene on Ridgeway at 8:42am. At 8:43am, 2524 pulls up. At 8:45am, 2523 pulls up. The three officers check the building. Then, at 8:48am, Beat car 2521 leaves the scene. A minute later, Beat cars 2523 and 2524 pull off. The job is coded 14Paul.

8:50am - Parker. 1800 block of N Harding. Premits.

8:51am - Beat car 2524 asks for a DOC mission on the Beat. Event number is 04439.

9:54am - Beat car 2523 has a traffic stop at Diversey and Ridgeway. I can see them from my window.

10:20am - Burglar report. 3927 W Belmont. At the fitness center.

10:40am - Beat car 2523 has a bona fide Burglary at the 10:20am job.

11:25am - Traffic accident. Fullerton and Central Park. Two cars.

11:51am - Person w/ a gun. 4175 W Fletcher. The son's got an unregistered gun in the house. He's not threatening anyone with it, though. The cell tower on this call hits off to 95th and Wentworth.

11:56am - A slow down is being given on Fletcher.

12:37pm - Disturbance. Mozart Park. A basketball player is in a dispute with the referee. He needs to be removed. The game's over.

1:46pm - Found property. 2646 N Central Park. Credit cards were found. By the way, Beat cars 2523, 2525 and 2535 are already down. This is the new shift change time.

2:32pm - 1) Disturbance. 3919 W Fullerton. At the hotel. Problem with a tenant. 2) Parker. 3742 W Fullerton.

2:36pm - Everything seems to be going quiet well with the hours changed.

5:53pm - Domestic Battery. 4178 W Nelson. Dispatch says there was a call here earlier. I haven't been paying much attention within the last half hour or so.

6:04pm - The 5:53pm job is coded.

6:49pm - I have to go eat. I'll be back soon.

7:03pm - I'm back.

7:44pm - Attempted suicide. 3736 W McLean. The wife took a pill of Tylenol and drove off. She's trying to kill herself. Complainant wants to talk to police about what to do about this.

8:00pm - I have to go. I'll be back tomorrow at 3:43pm. Good night, everyone :).
