Chicago: Weis cracking down on
Days after one of his cops was arrested for allegedly killing two men in an alcohol-fueled crash, Police Supt. Jody Weis emphasized Monday that he's serious about cracking down on officers who get behind the wheel drunk.
Weis took office early last year after the Daley administration was embarrassed by a series of scandals stemming from cops allegedly misbehaving in bars.
Weis signed off on a policy requiring immediate notification of a watch commander who must go to the scene whenever there is evidence that an officer -- on- or off-duty -- was driving drunk.

No deal over discipline, polic
Toronto's police chief has fired back at the force's union over allegations that he bargained in bad faith, accusing its president of political grandstanding.
Earlier this week, Toronto Police Association president Dave Wilson accused Bill Blair of breaking a deal that helped end a work-to-rule campaign by his members.
At issue were letters of reprimand placed in the files of 60 officers. They had defied a direct order from Blair by attending a union rally dressed in uniforms and carrying service firearms.
Wilson charges that police management agreed to let the matter drop if the officers each forfeited three days pay.
He says the union was assured that there would not be a formal record of the incident placed in their files, but that Blair later reneged.
Wilson has threatened to file a lawsuit against the chief, and a formal complaint with the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services.
On Thursday, Blair issued a sternly written statement denying Wilson's allegations.
"Never, at any point … did I reach any agreement whatsoever with Mr. Wilson," he wrote.
"In front of several witnesses, I rejected his offer. Why he chooses to misrepresent this is a matter he must address."
Blair said the 60 officers were all offered the choice of receiving a letter on their files or facing charges under the Police Services Act.
Each of them chose to take the letter, Blair wrote, and that has "clearly embarrassed" the union president.
"Mr. Wilson found himself in the position of seeing those officers, whom he encouraged to defy my lawful order, accepting discipline for defying that order."
