QUOTABLE QUOTES
"None of us is as good as all of us"
HEARD AROUND THE SQUAD ROOM
�Look at this. Pay toilets back in NYC. Use a pay toilet for only 25 cents�.. That�s nothing. I heard we have a real entrepreneur right here in the squad, capitalizing on the pay toilet business already. Put a sign up in front of his house, charges a quarter to let people use his toilet. Told the wife and kids this was his chance to make some real money. Don�t mind those people, honey. Just let them in to use the toilet. Yea, put up a sign and everything�.. I heard he�s taking allowance money from his kids every time they use the toilet as well. Told them they have to learn the value of money. Yea, he�s a real entrepreneur�.

WORKING TOURS
If you think today�s Duty Charts are crazy, take a look back in history of this department.
In 1901, a Patrolman averaged 18 hour work days! His tours would go as follows:
8am to 1pm : Patrol
1pm to Midnight: On �Reserve� in the stationhouse
Midnight to 6am: Patrol
6am to 6pm: Free Time � after having worked 22 hours without a break
6pm to Midnight: Patrol
Midnight to 6am: Reserve in the stationhouse
6am to 8am : Patrol
8am to 1pm : Reserve in the stationhouse
1pm to 6pm: Patrol
6pm to Midnight: Reserve in the stationhouse
Midnight to 6am: Patrol
Then 14 hours �Off�, after having been assigned 36 hours without a break!
Of course, there was 1 hour for lunch between tours !
SALARY REVIEW
In 1901, a Patrolman received $800/year, with top pay of $1400/year after 5 years.
Member�s had to pay for their own uniforms, equipment, and bedding � the bedding that was needed for all the hours they were held in �Reserve� in the stationhouse!
In 1929, the starting salary was a whopping $1800/year, with top pay of $2500/year.
WHO SAID IT # 2
�If you don�t like the smell of Ben-Gay, try using the senseless kind�
�He�s like a bull in a china closet�
�Behind every cloud is a silver platter�
�What time was the pronunciation�
THE JEOPARDY QUESTION (The Answer was previously given)
What are some things you�d rather be doing than attending a boro gang meeting?

�I know you�re not feeling good, Sarge. Maybe you�re having an anxiety attack�.. Anxiety attack? You think I�m scared? I ain�t scared. What do you mean scared, ASSHOLE�.. It�s got nothing to do with being scared. People get it every day, you know, a panic attack�.. Great, now I�m getting psychoanalyzed by an ASSHOLE who still lives in his fathers basement, and has his mother pack his lunch before he goes to work. ASSHOLE�.. Yea, I�m an asshole. You�re the one who thinks an anxiety attack is being scared, and thinks he�s having a heart attack. You know what? I hope you are having a heart attack�.. ASSHOLE!�
�Well, all I know is I have to retire the minute I have 20 in. This job is killing me. You know the medication I�m on? I need a certain amount of sleep every day. I got doctors notes and everything. That�s right, I get 20 in and I�m gone. I�m walking in, dropping off my stuff, and leaving. Give me my pension, that�s it. You know, you can�t just go in and retire. You�ve got to make an appointment like 2 months in advance. You know that, right?�. What do you mean, 2 months in advance? Why do I need an appointment to retire? I�ve never heard of such a crazy thing?�. That�s right, you need an appointment. You think everyone is just standing around waiting for you to go? You better make an appointment, otherwise you ain�t retiring�.. What do you mean? What can they do to me? I�m retiring, they can�t fire me, right?�. Yea, you just try it. You be the test case�.. It wouldn�t be the first time I was a test case�.. Go ahead, give it a try. You know, you�re the reason it takes so long to retire now. It�ll take them 8 hours to work up your retirement date alone, after just calculating what you owe from the moose head you shot�. It wasn�t a moose, it was a boar. Let the record reflect it was a large stuffed animal head, as the Trial Judge stated�.. Yea, alright, a boars head. Anyway, go ahead and be a test case�.. All I know is this job is killing me. You want to see the medication I have to take? I need rest, and this job is killing me.�
�All I want to know is, when he retires, are we going to have to give him a plaque with 4 shields? That�ll cost a fortune�.. Why four? He�s a detective?�. His cops shield, his detectives shield, then his cops shield after he got flopped for shooting the moose head, and then his new detective shield�.. It wasn�t a moose, it was a boars head�.. Yea, well anyway, we�ve got to give him 4 shields, right?�

CRIMINAL VERNACULAR:
Bangtails : Racehorses
Butter and Egg Man : The money man; the man with the bankroll
CIGAR NEWS
La Aurora SA, the oldest cigarmaker in the Dominican Republic, has released a new type of cigar. It�s a Brazilian wrapped maduro, and received the highest score of 93 points in the January Cigar Insider. It�s a medium to full bodied cigar, and is available in several sizes: Toro, Belicoso, Robusto, and the larger sized No. 2 (a 7� x 47 ring). It retails for 5.65 � 7.25 a cigar.
SMALL MONTECRISTOS COMING SOON! Dominican Montecristos in a smaller size are expected in April or May. These limited edition cigars are a heartier blend than the traditional; they are wrapped in Nicaraguan tobacco. These 5� cigars, made by Altadis, are expected to be quite popular.
LEWIS T. VALENTINE, POLICE COMMISSIONER
The son of a fruit store owner from Alsace (Johnny Cordes was from Alsace as well!), Valentine was appointed to the department in 1903. He took 10 years for his first promotion, and struggled to get through the ranks to Captain. He spent much of his time as a Lieutenant as the Relief Desk Officer, working out of the Greenpoint stationhouse. (Another Brooklyn North success story?) Valentine made his marks in the department as a �shoefly� Captain, and was noticed by Mayor LaGuardia. In 1934 he was appointed to the Police Commissioner�s post by Mayor LaGuardia, and remained the PC for 11 years, resigning in 1945 during the last year of LaGuardia�s administration. Valentine penned an autobiography, NIGHTSTICK, in 1947, which provides very good reading about the department in the early years of the 20th Century.
POLICE CARS
In 1919, the department had 33 cars in its fleet. By 1925 there were over 600 cars. At that time, each precinct had 2 or 3 cars that were used by supervisors on patrol. Each precinct would assign 2 Sergeant�s to radio patrol, and usually had 1 or 2 Sergeant�s on foot patrol. Most of the patrol force was on foot, and radios weren�t part of the motor fleet until 1932. Before radios, each Patrolman would call in to the Signal Desk every hour to receive assignments.
STATIONHOUSE RESERVE
During the 1920�s, Patrolman spent 16 hours a week in the stationhouse on �Reserve�. This helped provide a ready source of assistance should the need arise. This �Reserve� time was during the Patrolman�s off-duty time. As cars were added to the fleet, this �Reserve� time was reduced to 8 hours a week by 1926. It was not until 1930 that the practice of holding Patrolman in the stationhouse on �Reserve� was totally eliminated.

Johnny Cordes � Famous Detective
Johnny Cordes (COR�-deez) is, according to the book NYPD by Lardner and Repetto, the only NYC Police Officer to be awarded 2 Medal's of Honor. (This may not be entirely accurate, as Patrick Townsend, formerly of the Transit PD and now NYPD, also was awarded 2 Medal's of Honor as a Transit Police Officer). Anyway, Cordes was awarded his first Medal of Honor in March 1923, when he walked into a cigar store on Lexington Ave and 69th St to pick up a pack of Optimo Blunts. His brother was outside in a car, and Cordes walked into a stickup. Cordes was unarmed, as he never carried his gun off-duty. After being shot, he was able to wrestle the gun away from one of the bad guys and chase the perps into a back room. He then staggered outside, calling out to his brother, when he was fired on and struck by a passing off-duty sergeant who mistook Cordes for one of the stickup men. Despite his multiple gunshot wounds he was able to successfully apprehend both the stickup yeggs. He continued his practice of leaving his gun in his locker long after this incident.
Jeopardy Puzzle (in which the answer is given; see future listing for the question)
The answer is : Memorize the Periodic Table of the Elements, or have hair removal by wax performed on your chest
Where�s the Best Coffee?
A cup of coffee in a detective squad is almost as essential as a typewriter. Where do you go for the best cup of coffee? Which Squad serves up the best cup of joe? To make your nominations, contact the web-host at: LTJAC77@yahoo.com
Starbucks on 7th Avenue, 78 Pct area, as well as Ozzie�s Coffee also on 7th Avenue are fairly well known. Charcutterie on Flatbush Ave makes a very nice coffee from a private blend; especially good as an �Iced Coffee� in the summer

KILLING SEASON by Miles Corwin: A summer inside an LAPD Homicide Division, the South-Central Division, which is the equivalent of Brooklyn North in LA. This book follows a homicide team through the summer of 1994. This 2-detective team will handle up to 20 murders a year; it�s interesting to note that Vernon Geberth � the homicide commander and teaching maven � says that 6-8 homicides a year for a 2 man team is appropriate. This book is available in paperback as well.

Criminal Vernacular
Pudding (1880�s) : An easy rip-off spot.
First Homicide Squad
Not until the late 1890�s did two of the younger detectives brought in by Byrnes, Jim McCafferty and Arthur Carey, team up to become the first homicide unit. One of these went on to become Chief of Detectives, the other the longtime head of the homicide squad, which was officially established in 1907. (Richie Bergin and Tom Nerny came sometime later).
The Great Detective
Under Byrnes, who commanded the Detective Bureau for 12 years, detectives became men of great prestige. The press referred to detectives as �the immortals�, and detectives were ranked as the equivalent of Sergeant � just b elow Captains. They were paid $1600. a year, which was a third more than a Patrolman�s salary.
Freeport PD Contract
The Freeport, LI PD recently settled their contract. The 92 members of this department settled for 15.5% over 4 years. 2.5%, 3.5%, 4.5%, 5%.
Starting salary will be $54,265. this year, up to $61,629 in 2003.
A PO with 4 years experience in 2003 gets $82,979 a year.
Happy New Year!
For the first 3 days of the New Year, the 77 Squad has 2-Homicides, 2-NonFatal Shootings, and an MOS-Involved shooting. It�s getting to be �like it used to be�, although it may not be as busy as it was when Chris Cincotta occupied one of these chairs (but it�s certainly busier than the 66 Squad).
Honor Legion Awards
The January 9 Honor Legion Meeting at the Rex Manor will honor members of the 77 Squad for the Amy Watkins Murder investigation (although the collars were made in August 2000 � belated but certainly honored nonetheless). Should also see honors bestowed on Det Mike Zeller for his heroic actions on Christmas Eve in what could have been a very tragic incident; one that was certainly harrowing and traumatic for him and his family. Nice work Mike!
