TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! NEW DECALS FOR KCPD CARS AND CONSIDERING CHIEF FORTÉ'S VISION STATEMENT ONE YEAR LATER!!!
Observant Kansas City residents might have noticed a new look for KCPD vehicles.
New decals are being deployed by the Kansas City Police Department as part of an effort to spruce up their image.
This fact isn't really a secret and it's on the front page of the KCPD "Informant" Newsletter . . . Here's the money quote:
“We still want brand recognition, but wanted to freshen up the look for the new cars,” said the commander of the Fleet Operations Unit. “We wanted something that could be unique to the KCPD. What’s unique to us is our badge. No one else can utilize that particular badge.”
The new look is sleek, bold and colorful.
But all the talk about branding got AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS thinking about the progress of other KCPD communication efforts amid the EXTREMELY violent start to 2013.
To wit . . .
TKC TIPSTERS REMIND US TO CHECK PROGRESS OF A NEW VISION STATEMENT FROM KCPD CHIEF FORTÉ ONE YEAR LATER!!!
Amid a great deal of hope and celebration of Kansas City's First Black Chief Of Police . . . Chief Forté implemented the following new vision statement for the KCPD:
"To make Kansas City and the metropolitan area the safest community in the nation as a result of the efforts of the Kansas City Missouri Police Department and its many partners."
We noted the bold statement and also mentioned that the goal would require a great deal of work given this town's exceptionally high #9 ranking on the FBI's "most dangerous cities" list.
And so . . .
TKC TIPSTERS HAVE ASKED US TO GAUGE THE CHIEF'S PROGRESS ON MAKING KANSAS CITY THE SAFEST COMMUNITY IN THE NATION GIVEN A SPATE OF RECENT MURDERS AND A "JACK THE RIPPER" KILLER TARGETING LOCAL HOOKERS!!!
Respectfully, that's not our call to make . . . TKC is about conveying information, bombastic opinion, facts and dumb jokes.
On this one it's up to the blog community to make the call and possibly consider how they have helped Kansas City's tragic violence and murder situation over the past year.
DEVELOPING . . .
A decent tag line at the end. A lot of people complain but few step up to help out or even offer tips or information about crimes.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't take that NIGGER long, to bring out the feathers and shit, for his fancy uniform and new shields. I really wonder how long it will be before he's actually wearing feathers and plumes off his hat. What a coon!
ReplyDeleteidiot. GO AWAY!
ReplyDeleteAnother "Vision" statement?!
ReplyDeleteMore "Words" on a Logo?!
How about some "results" instead of more speeches and slogans!
KCPD lacks the initiative to fight crime in Kansas City. Show us some results.
Where's the Beef?
Sounds like KCPD is going to fight crime sometime in the future. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat happen to now.
The cost of the new sticker per each side of vehicle is dramatically more expensive. Good way to manage money and priorities in one of the deadliest cities in the nation
ReplyDelete7:29 You nailed it. Every unsuccessful company or organization spends lots of time and money on vision statements, branding and every other buzz word that's come about in the last decade. Unfortunately they usually do nothing about their core objective.
ReplyDeleteThe putative assumption by so many, that the Police Department can be anything more in the end, than an ad hoc organization is a faulty premise and indeed, diverts attention from the actual genesis of the problem.
ReplyDeleteIt's the violent, entitled, African American sub culture. The glorification of that same sub culture by the 4th Estate, Hollywood, "Community Leaders", The Music Industry, African American Parents and most importantly, the "Racism Industry" which provides coin of the realm for participants at all levels.
Government Grants, Affirmative Action, EBT/SNAP, Free Housing, Set Asides, "Protected Class" incentives, Welfare, et al. The cash handed out to recipients by way of these programs and the power and cash administered to the Stewards of these programs is, after 60 years, trillions of dollars.
This universal lubrication of this industry, is fear and unreasoning, illogical white guilt accompanied by the ubiquitous "Racist" accusations from those same participants and recipients of the ever growing piles of cash paid out by hard working Americans to create still ANOTHER generation of folks supported from cradle to grave and taught to hate their benefactors.
Blaming the Police Department for crime is insane.
A typical straw man argument, that diverts attention from the necrosis that is Urban Culture.
Today's KCStar.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.kansascity.com/2013/02/08/4056364/29-bullets-put-kc-basketball-program.html
29 bullets expended in a shoot out at the Westport Roanoke Community Center. A "Hard Foul" started the shootout.
This absolutely kills me.
"Mark Bowland, manager of Kansas City’s community services, said he is exploring ideas that could improve safety at the center, including hiring off-duty police officers, opening a police substation at the center.."
Fuckin AWESOME!!
We gotta pony up cash, to open a police station next the the fuckin basketball court.
I fuckin swear to god, how fucked up is that?
Maybe City Hall can get the folks who are now outta prison, who were the catalyst for the Citadel Plaza project (If they are outta prison.) to build the new Police Station in the Westport Rec Center.
ReplyDeleteHey, the city should just face the facts. There is NO way the new Roman Mob will accept fewer basketball courts in the city.
ReplyDeleteThere is also NO way, the participants in these basketball games are gonna quit drawing firearms and opening fire in the general direction of the opposing teams and the flora and fauna in close proximity.
All Police Stations should have bsketball courts built on the property.
If it were not for institutional racism, there would ALREADY be basketball courts in every Police Station in Urban Cores all over America.
It's not too late, we shall overcome.
Hey 7:25, FUCK OFF AND DIE!!
ReplyDeleteIt still looks like five or six stars on the shoulders, a big ostrich feather on the new hat and some swords, would really "make" the uniform...
ReplyDeleteNew decals are gay. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteWhat this post doesnt show is the graphics and decals for the supervisors cars that they are going to use with pink and white writing.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you're kidding.
DeleteLook at the size of this Police Station.
ReplyDeletehttp://blog.helixkc.com/kcpd-east-patrol-campus
It's like 4 square blocks.
It's as big as the Staples Center.
Come on people!!
If we build basketball courts in the police station, they will come.
No they wont bc they do not want to be around police dumb ass. As soon as police show up to bb court everyone leaves bc "OH SHIT IT'S THE COPS"
DeleteThe new uniforms are the fuckin bomb!

If Trayvon won't come to the mountain, than take the mountain to Trayvon.
ReplyDeleteI'll miss the old logo from the 1970s.
ReplyDeleteCool it lasted this long.
The "Police" logo didn't actually last this long. It was brought back several years ago because it was way cheaper than the hideous striping package they had and it looked cool too.
DeleteWhitney Houston, we lost her a year ago today.
ReplyDeleteNothing has ever been the same.
Whitney Houston died?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I got my Bic Lighter raised on high.
ReplyDeleteCRACK IS WHACK!!!
When crime goes down KCPD brags about how great their crime fighting programs are. When it goes up KCPD blames the culture.
ReplyDeleteMore cosmetic slight of hand to distract the public from his absolute failure in putting a dent in the cycle of violent crime in this shit hole. Who gives a shit about the logo on the side of the police car that shows up at the next record setting homicide?!! Every successful business, sports team etc., masters the fundamentals and then builds upon that. Chump Forte is fundamentally unsound as a police officer, police chief, community leader, and citizen. He continually chooses to raise his profile by creating gimmick programs (hot spot), and promoting himself via social media, all at the expense of his troops and his credibility. Try this; hire qualified applicants, provide them with the proper training and equipment, pay your troops, give them effective leadership, hold the prosecutors feet to the fire, and turn them lose. No one gives a shit what an ineffective, bearded, paper tiger has to say on twitter or Facebook or any other form of social media. Unfuck yourself Chump Forte and then unfuck your department.
ReplyDeletethe car looks like a pimpmobile....looks like a nigger designed it. homies lookin cash on de way to de joint!
ReplyDeleteNow nearly every small burg one cop car department will have to put decals on their car. KCPD was pretty much the only big department around whose cars didn't look like circus wagons. Til now. Guess the main color for cop car logos is blue.
ReplyDeleteAnother KCPD dog and pony show. We can't fight crime but LOOK we have a NEW Logo and Mission statement.
ReplyDeleteMore BS. from KCPD.
pretty shitty looking logo.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see at least a few of these cars outfitted with missile launchers and a fifty caliber machine gun. Kind of like an F-16 on wheels.
ReplyDeleteYup, the KCPD cars are officially "NIGGERED UP"!
ReplyDeleteNow all they need, is a calliope sound, like the fucking circus.
ReplyDeleteAll the PR, marketing and new programs in the world are not going to mean a thing if the department doesn't get cleaned up. I don't see anyone on the horizon who can get that job done.
ReplyDeleteNew decals are being deployed by the Kansas City Police Department as part of an effort to "spruce up their image".
ReplyDeleteYou won't need new decals to "spruce up your image" if you would just do your jobs and fight crime.
New decal still the same shitty ass department ran by an idiot.
ReplyDeleteThe decal thing is like taking Glazer and putting him in a fancy custom made tailored suit.
Nothings changes, you still have a felon who is stuck on himself, is ugly and is real fucking dumb.
Both cases it's just wrapping covering a pile of shit.
1204, the PD does go out and catch criminals and such but when Jackson County doesn't file charges and/or gives out probation for everything it's kinda hard for things to get done around this town.
ReplyDelete12:22
ReplyDeleteDidn't take KCPD long to pass the buck for not getting the job done.
Now there is a great fucking example as to what the issue is in the KCPD.
ReplyDeleteThey do great finger pointing but no lets clean this mess up and make this department a great one.
Now you so called members of the KCPD know what the problems are so stick your fingers in your ears scratch your brains get off your asses and fix the problems.
Let's face it, Forte has been a unmitigated disaster. Within a year he had to retreat to pandering to the black community to save his job because of his incompetence and unprofessionalism. He continues to surround himself with ass-kissers or other incompetents. Hundley will be indicted soon, Rose shouldn't even be on the department after blowing her way to Sergeant and then hooking up with her boss at the lab, Higgins doesn't even live in the city, Hopkins is a moron who has failed at every rank, and Gallagher has checked out. And now Forte wants to pick his Captains? That's a joke, right?
ReplyDeletePay close attention to 3:10 - That's obviously a KCPD insider and they've got a point.
ReplyDelete3:10 is SPOT ON.
ReplyDeleteCaption for the Forte picture: "Yes, Yo hono, I promise to be a good NIGGER and stop stealing from the humans....No, really I promise, don't be sending my black ass off to no NIGGER college...
ReplyDeletepretty obvious to anyone living in KC, that kcpd just can't get the job done.
ReplyDeletebut they gonna be cruising in de new bitchin NIGGERMOBILE!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat, no curb feelers and spinning rims?
ReplyDeleteSheeet!
Just wait, he will also be picking the Sgt level after this process finishes up in May. This will be the last process for promotions, and you will see the good old boy system put back in place. Our entire system is broke, until all the old school cocks retire it won't change. Why you ask? Because we've always done it this way. We don't change with the times, we just continue to do the same broken thing, on every single level imaginable, over and over again. I've been here 12 years, nothing has changed for the better. I could give you a list, but holy shit that would take forever.
ReplyDeleteThe cars look like shit. What a joke. Was this the winning design submitted by all the 1st graders across the city? You have got to be kidding me.
ReplyDeletethese details are sharp I really like them and I think they look squared away. The old decals look like mailbox letters.
ReplyDeleteTell your kid he really did a lot of good crayon work to come up with that logo.
DeletePeople don't go to KCPD to report anything.
ReplyDeleteIt's because they don't trust KCPD.
KCPD has taught people that KCPD can not be trusted.
KCPD taught the public well.
corruption in a police department is like rust, it eats away until you have nothing but a brittle shell.
ReplyDeletePeople are noticing that KCPD is a public taxpayer scam.
ReplyDeleteThe Kansas City Missouri Police Department is dedicated to our mission of partnering with the community to protect life and property while reducing fear and disorder.
ReplyDeleteTaken from KCPD website.
Well KCPD you failed. You did not meet your organizations motto or goal.
Must be very embarrassing to work at KCPD right now.
ReplyDeleteAll you Mother effers bitch and moan about the KCPD, but when you get beat up, ripped off and robbed, you go crying to the KCPD for help. STFU!
ReplyDeleteThink things are bad, look at Chicago. KCPD does a pretty good job considering the no snitching mentality that pervades the inner city.
I guess I'm really surprised these NIGGERS didn't just paint a big ass FIVE O on the side of all the cars...Hell, even NIGGERS can figure that out.
ReplyDeletehideous, the manager of the fleet unit must be color blind, mentally challenged, or both. its just ugly.
ReplyDelete6:10 PM You have got to be really desperate when your only come back is to compare yourself to Chicago.
ReplyDelete6:10, and 20 minutes later (5 of which was spent on hold with 911) when KCPD shows up, you're still beat up, robbed, and confused. So no, nobody bothers to cry about it unless you're talking about north of the river where you can actually get a cop to your location in under 20 minutes.
