Chicago Won't Respond to 911 Calls

The Chicago Tribune reports that officers of the Chicago Police Department will no longer be dispatched to handle less dangerous crimes. The measures went into effect on Sunday.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said that this dramatic shift would free up as many as 200 officers from compiling paperwork to being out on a beat.

McCarthy also said that unnecessary 911 calls – including reporting dogs barking and parents complaining their kids won’t eat their vegetables – are putting an unnecessary drain on the system.

He said that as it stands, Chicago officers respond to around 70 percent of 911 calls, as opposed to around 30 percent for other cities.

He said at a recent press conference: ‘I don’t mean to be flippant here, because I’ve been the victim of a burglary at least three or four times. I’d rather have the officer on the street, where he can prevent the shooting.’

The news comes as Chicago faces a violent crime epidemic, with nearly 50 homicides and 170 shootings already this year, and had 506 murders in 2012.

They haven't sent any cops for simple assaults, burglaries, minor thefts in my city for years now. They use to just send you a form in the mail to fill out.

Don't forget their online police reports. We have that to report:

Illegal dumping, trespassing, lost property, vadnalism and vehicle burglary. You fill out the report and they will review it and contact you.

What are you talking about??

in Nassau County & Suffolk County (Long Island/NY metro area) the biggest crimes in the County are:

#1 Domestic Violence
#2 Road rage

And in with the 4th Precinct, Hewlett, NY the Police/Cops just make reports and don't do anything because:

Jails/Prisons in Nassau and Suffolk County are busting at the seams and its not economically worth it to lock someone up anymore..

The USDOJ and Justice System (Courts and Prisons) have broke down, not only in Long Island/NY metro area, but all over the USA.

Ding dong the Witch is dead (USA) USA is done, finished!

All from one man that set the things in motion-> that of FDR (1930)- A true Communist Infiltrator, that was the day, when FDR got elected, that the Country (USA) died!

1929 ring a bell? What a year in Germany it was :(
