Taco Bell Burglar Report
Good morning, everyone, it's 8am. What a blizzard we've gotten!! My God, this is the worst one I've ever seen. I was alive for the one in 1999, but this one is so much worse. People are saying this one is as bad as a blizzard Chicago was slammed with in 1967, where about 23 inches of snow fell. The reports on TV are just horrible. People are getting stranded all over the place, LSD is closed, Chicago Public Schools are closed (for the first time since the blizzard in '99), etc. Unless it's an emergency, STAY INDOORS and DO NOT travel. It's not worth risking your life going out into this storm. Anyway, today, I will be monitoring from now until 9:20, then again from 12:59pm to 3:44, and finally from 5:56 to 6:16. Here's crime for portions of today.
8:13am - Burglar report. 3143 N Milwaukee. At the Taco Bell.
9:20am - I'm going to go for now. I'll be back at 12:59. See you all then, and be safe!
12:59pm - I'm back. Good afternoon.
1:55pm - Parker. 3102 N Haussen.
3:44pm - I'm going to go until 5:56. I'll be back.
5:56pm - I'm back. By the way, since school has been canceled for me for the remainder of the week, I'll be monitoring 14 tomorrow, the Near South Side community on Friday and the West Garfield Park community this weekend.
6:16pm - Again, and for the last time, I'm strolling off for the night. See you all in the morning. Stay warm, and safe!
2:17am, 2/3/10 - Attention folks: My other blog, "Photos of Avondale and Logan Square", is going to be deleted. Reason? I simply have no more interest in continuing that blog, and could use the extra bandwidth on Blogger. By the way, here's a story about a dead man found in an alley on the 3000 block of W Fullerton. Possibly related to the blizzard.
8:13am - Burglar report. 3143 N Milwaukee. At the Taco Bell.
9:20am - I'm going to go for now. I'll be back at 12:59. See you all then, and be safe!

Gang Disturbance On Fullerton, IN THE BLIZZARD!
Good evening, everyone, it's 5pm. School was on a bit on the chaotic side today, but the kids weren't nuts. This blizzard coming in has everyone and their mother worried and/or scared. Speaking of school, ALL Chicago Public Schools will be CLOSED tomorrow due to the severe blizzard coming in. This is the first time since 1999, which is 12 years ago. And I'm very glad the schools are closed, and not just because of a snow day, but it is not worth anyone's safety to travel in white-out conditions in nearly 2 feet of snow. So I hope everyone is prepared for the blizzard by now. DO NOT GO OUTSIDE unless you absolutely have to. Stay in and stay safe. Here's crime (and blizzard calls) for this evening.
5:26pm - Gang disturbance. 3700 W Fullerton. Five males flashing gang signs. Out in THIS kind of weather?!? They're NUTS.
5:47pm - Battery in progress. 3700 W Fullerton. Four to five guys fighting. Probably the same guys from this gang disturbance. These guys are insane. Absolutely insane.

6:44pm - Wires down. Keystone and Palmer. NW alley.
6:45pm - Wires down. 2937 N Lowell.

8:43pm - Another alarm call on the 3100 block of Milwaukee. There's an outage on the block.
9:58pm - Check the well being. 3703 W Belmont. 72 yr old woman sounds sick.
10:01pm - DUI driver. Central Park and Belmont. Drunk driver swerving west on Belmont.
10:16pm - Burglar alarm. 3717 W Belmont.
10:18pm - Theft in progress. 3742 W Armitage. There's an abandoned car in the alley, and another car pulled up, which two males jumped out and started taking stuff out of the abandoned car.
10:58pm - Assist the citizen. Lawndale and Shakespeare. Two guys stuck in a van.
12:00am - Alright, everyone, I'm going to go. I'll be back at 8am, and I will lay out my monitoring schedule for tomorrow then. But there will be limited monitoring due to all of the snow and cold temps that shall probably keep the radio slient. So, goodnight, everyone. Be safe!!

Stop On Diversey
Good evening, everyone, it's 7:57pm. Today's been a tiring day, and it hasn't been the best of days. I'm just glad to be home. I had monitored earlier from 3:44-6:23, and 6:41 to about 7:10, but there were no calls. Anyway, who's ready for this epic blizzard coming in tomorrow night? I'm not! They're talking 12 to 18 inches of snow, with possibly 3 inches per hour at the height of the storm. If that's not bad enough, we're supposed to get winds of 25 to 40 mph. That might make people lose power, and travel is going to be literally impossible. So more than likely, I'll end up staying home Wednesday. But I have to go Thursday. I can't miss more than 2 days of school starting today until at least May, because of my new Driver's Ed class. If you miss more than 2 days, you automatically fail the class, and that's a graduation requirement, so I can't afford to miss school. So here is crime for a portion of this evening.
8:07pm - Beat 2566Charlie is taking one into 25 from 3915 W Diversey.
9:00pm - I'm off to bed. Goodnight, everyone, and see you all tomorrow afternoon.

Extra Alarm Fire On Honore
Hi, everyone. According to Chicago Breaking News, a fire broke out around 6:30pm last night on the 1800 block of North Honore. A coach house was involved in it, and the fire got so bad to where a 2-11 had to be called, which is an extra alarm fire in CFD's language. In response to this 2-11, about 80 firefighters and EMTs responded. Although electrical lines did go down into the alley as a result of the fire, no one was injured, fortunately, and the fire was put out at about 7:40pm. But, personnel did remain on scene after that to investigate and clean up the scene.
Any insight on this, anyone?
By the way, there's no blog post on crime today because I had monitored 25 from 9:38am-9:47 and 10:19-11:45, but there was no calls, so this post is "subbing" for crime. LOL.

"North" Avondale Crime Blotter (District 17)
Good morning, everyone, it's 7:30am. Today, I'm monitoring 17 for our residents North of Belmont. As usual, it'll probably be quiet, especially since it's in the middle of winter, but I still have readers in that area, so I need to do this. Relating to this, I'll be heading out to run a couple of errands throughout the day, so I will have to get the archive at those points. Finally, before I let you all read about crime, I'll be monitoring the North Center community tomorrow. It's located between Avondale and Lakeview. From what I understand, it's one of the quietest neighborhoods on this side of town. So, here's crime for today.
8:39am - Beat 1710 wants 1732 to meet him at Kimball and Belmont. She's on the way.

2:25pm - The cops in 16 are goofs, and I've got proof. There's a street called Prescott in their District, off of Central Ave., and guess what? They can't even find it! Sad!
6:37pm - I have to go eat. I'll be back soon.
6:55pm - I'm back.
8:42pm - The intersection of Belmont and Kimball is apparently slippery or something, because Dispatch says that the city's been notified about it and that the officers need to be careful going through there.
10:45pm - Battery in progress. Kimball and Belmont. Male beating on a female by the gas station.
10:50pm - A slow down is being given on the 10:45pm job. Beat car 1732, who responded, thinks the female is beating on the male.

Serious Accident On Diversey/Green Dolphin Club To Be Investigated
Good morning, everyone. According to Chicago News Report, a serious accident occurred in the area of the 3300 block of W Diversey at about 2:48am this morning. An exact location is not known, but officers were blocking traffic at Diversey/Spaulding and Diversey/Milwaukee/Kimball, so there is a guess that the accident happened in the intersection of Diversey and Christina. This accident is serious because, reportedly, a woman was thrown through a windshield of a van, but somehow managed to take off. According to witnesses, before fleeing the scene, she allegedly told them the vehicle was stolen. Officers ran the license plate and said the Chevy van belongs to an owner on the 2500 block of W Moffat Street.
Anyone have insight on this accident?
----
Also news today in our community, also a report from Chicago News Report, is that the Green Dolphin Street Club located at 2220 N Ashland will undergo an "investigation", so to speak, by Alderman Scott Waguespack (32nd). Why is this happening? Because of several shootings and stabbings that have occurred at this club in the last few months. The latest incident happened just this Monday with a woman in her 20s getting shot in the back in front of the club. There were two previous incidents there, in 2010, on September 6th and November 14th. In the September 6th incident, a man was shot and several people were injured. In the November 14th incident, a man was stabbed with a broken beer bottle by two other men. So, being the caring and reporting person he is, Timothy Fitz of Chicago News Report reached out to Alderman Waguespack. He did get a response. Elizabeth Gomez, an employee of the Ward 32 office, responded to Fitz's e-mail and said that Waguespack was working with CPD, the Liquor Control Commission, and the Department of Buildings to address the problems with the club. In conclusion to this report, Fitz and Waguespack will have a conversation about this club, and I'm hoping there are results from it. I'll be watching Chicago News Report for updates.
Anyone have thoughts/opinions to this? Send your comments here, the Facebook page OR my e-mail. But keep it clean. That is of the utmost importance, and I will NOT accept any comments that I suspect to be irrelevant or plain stupid.
Anyone have insight on this accident?

Also news today in our community, also a report from Chicago News Report, is that the Green Dolphin Street Club located at 2220 N Ashland will undergo an "investigation", so to speak, by Alderman Scott Waguespack (32nd). Why is this happening? Because of several shootings and stabbings that have occurred at this club in the last few months. The latest incident happened just this Monday with a woman in her 20s getting shot in the back in front of the club. There were two previous incidents there, in 2010, on September 6th and November 14th. In the September 6th incident, a man was shot and several people were injured.

Burglar Report On Hamlin
Good evening, everyone, it's 8:08pm. Today wasn't the best of days at school, but I'm glad to be home now. And this weekend is a 3-day for me. We have tomorrow off because the teachers have to work on grades from this semester, and switch people's schedules around. So, anyway, tomorrow, I will be monitoring 17 for our residents North of Belmont most of the day, but I will need to get archives twice, because I do have to run a couple of errands. Finally, on Saturday, I will be monitoring the North Center neighborhood in the 19th District. This neighborhood is just east of Avondale, and just west of Lakeview. So look forward to that. Here's crime for tonight.
9:20pm - Burglar report. 2103 N Hamlin.
10:13pm - 1) Car alarm. Diversey and Ridgeway. 2) Parker. 2800 block of N Ridgeway.
12:00am - I'm gone for the night. I'll be back with 17 tomorrow. See you all then, and have a great night.

Fire On Milwaukee In "Bucktown"/Some Things I Need To Clear Up
Good morning, everyone. Apparently, there was a big fire on the 1800 block of N Milwaukee around 9pm last night. According to the Chicago Breaking News article, it was an extra-alarm fire to a vacant building. The fire lasted until about 11:25, and traffic did need to be rerouted. You can read the rest on this article. Questions or comments? Send them here, or on my Facebook page for the blog (if you're a fan), or to my e-mail.
--------
So, getting that out of the way, I thought I would talk about some comments I've seen on this blog. First, I'm going to address the following comment publicly (this is regarding my Beat meeting post last night about the POD cameras) by a guy named "Don Muraco":
"You've got to be a real asshole to volunteer to go look at those POD cameras. You don't even get paid, so what's the point? Secondly, if you do view something and report it, and the cops make an arrest, then guess what? The cops will put you down in the arrest report and you'll have to go to court as a witness.....again without being paid. And I'm sure your work/employer will be really happy to give you the time off so you can go play 'super-hero.' The Sgt. asked for volunteers because he knows some pretty dumb, gullible retards go to C.R.A.P.S. meetings...".
Ok, so, here's my thoughts on it. First, I guess I'm a real asshole then, because I signed up on the sheet to volunteer and do this. To me, it doesn't matter if I get payed. I don't care about that. When they officially start letting citizens monitor those cameras, when I do it, all I care about is doing it is for my community. It's kind of an early career job for me to the 911 Dispatching job I want. Second, like I said, this is VOLUNTEER work. You DO NOT have to be involved with this, and you can come and go into the station as you please to do this. But seeing as how most people in this neighborhood, and on this blog for that matter, only whine and complain about things going on, there will be only be a few of us who actually volunteer to do this. Finally, maybe CAPS wouldn't be "C.R.A.P.S" if these stupid citizens stop only coming to complain. People actually need to get involved. Yeah, we're all a little scared of gang retaliation (even I am), but guess what? You can be ANONYMOUS.
Also, about comments, this goes straight to those POs in 25 who think it's funny to slander Sgt. Halpern by using his name for your goofy/stupid comments: You'd better stop. Sgt. Halpern came to 2523's CAPS meeting (when he could've been doing something else) just to talk to me about those comments. He tells me that it's not him leaving those comments, that he doesn't even go on blogs, so I believe it's one of you silly POs out there in 25. So, just for the record, your Sergeant is aware of the comments made against him, and he has asked me to remove them, which I will do. And if I find a way, I will turn over those IP addresses to him, so he can see which one of you coppers it is.
One last thing before I go, but I want to let all of you know of the following:
- I will be monitoring tonight from 8:08pm-12am
- I will monitor 17 all day tomorrow
- I will monitor the North Center community on Saturday
Thank you for reading everything.

Beat 2523 CAPS Meeting This Evening (1-26-11)
Good evening, everyone. The meeting this month had an ok turn-out. Certainly not as big as meetings in the past, but hey, it's cold out. So, moving on to the old issues from December:
Old problems:
* 2800 N. Ridgeway - 9 arrests were made; one for reckless conduct, one for battery. Contact cards were done.
* 2800 N. Tripp - Sgt. Weiglein says that CPD checked out the concern presented and checked various license plates in the area.
Before I move on to the new problems, I'd like to let you all know about something the Sarge told me about regarding citizens monitoring POD cameras. He tells me that he is looking for interested people in order to come up with a date for a training session. He says you can monitor whenever you want, but you WOULD have to come to the police station to do it. If you are interested, please e-mail me, and I will let the Sergeant know.
And now to the new problems:
* On George, a car has been sitting there since November and has not moved at all.
* On Kearsarge, cars are violating the parking signs by parking there by parking from 6am-8pm
Other observations:
> This meeting was on the short side.
> From a resident who lives in Logan Sq. but came to our meeting - Three men posing as ComEd workers have been burglarizing, or attempting to, the 2700 block of N Drake.
The most incidents took place in the 2900 block of N Ridgeway. The most crimes were burglary (19 reported incidents), theft (18 reported incidents), and motor vehicle theft (17 reported incidents). The most incidents took place on Mondays and Saturdays.
As I do in every Beat meeting post, I extend my thanks to all for being involved in this meeting. Once again, I ask for those residents who read the blog but don't come to the meetings (because they don't want to), please, come! It only takes ONE hour of your time, and we need all of the help we can get.
Next meeting: March 23, 2010 at Copernicus Center (3160 N. Milwaukee) at 6:30PM.
Thank you,
Timmy

Garage Fire On Keystone
Good morning, everyone, it's 5am. Day 3, and final day, of final exams at school. Thank goodness. I do have to be ready and focused this morning, as my hardest exam of the week is going to be this morning, though. But after that, I have drama class to go to (no test), then I get to go home. That'll be around 10:30 to 10:45, and I should be back home by noon or 12:15pm-ish. Which is great because it gives me some time to myself and to prepare notes for my CAPS Beat meeting this evening, which is 2523's at the Copernicus Center (3160 N. Milwaukee).

Assault In Progress On Harding
Good afternoon, everyone, it's 1:16pm. Yep, I'm home earlier than usual. Why, you ask? Because we have finals at school this week, which means we can leave school early. Today, my last class ended at 11:38am, then I went to lunch until noon, then left school to come home. I'll be leaving school and coming home at about the same times as I did today. Then, Wednesday, I get to leave school at about 10:45 and I should be home by noon or 12:15 that day, which is perfect for me, because I have my CAPS meeting to go to (Beat 2523, at 3160 N.

Burglar Alarm On Diversey
Good morning everyone. It's 8:30am. Go Bears!! So, it's another cold morning out there. Currently, it's about 10 degrees, and it's only going to warm up into the upper teens or around 20 or 21. It'll be a little warmer than the last two days, but still cold. Although, it'll be warmer tomorrow (lower 30s). Speaking of tomorrow, I start final exams at school. I have three exams this week, one each day. Tomorrow is my English exam. I'll be able to leave school at about noon and I'll be home around 1, so I'm happy about that. So, before I start listing crimes, thought I'd like to let all of you know that I will be monitoring 25 today, until 6:06pm. So, with that, here's crime for today, and Go Bears!

Lakeview Crime Blotter
Good morning, everyone, it's 8am. Yep, the title is right. I'm monitoring Lakeview today for those of you who read this blog and live there. I wonder how many calls I'll get today. I don't think a lot, because not only is it cold, but also because Lakeview is a pretty safe neighborhood. Tomorrow, I will resume my monitoring of 25. I will monitor it until 8pm, then I have to go to bed because of final exams this week. Then, on Friday, we have a day off and I will monitor 17 that day, then finally, next Saturday, I may monitor the North Center neighborhood. Here's crime in Lakeview for today.
