Monday Night Late - Midway Stroll Area
This was in the Midway stroll area around 11:30pm.
I was just driving thru and not really looking but I did see an unmarked CPD silver Crown Victoria unit just sitting on 47th facing east not to far past the underpass east of Cicero. Then I saw 2 BSW's and 1 WSW walking along heading near Kostner. He was watching their every move.
When I headed west on 47th I decided to cut down Archer instead. When I got across the tracks I turned on the side streets going down behind the main action of Cicero Avenue. I turned up 48th to go to Cicero and low and behold there is our CPD buddie again parking and trying to hide behind a van. He would have clear vision of what was happening on Cicero at 48th. I then went over to 49th to cross Cicero and noticed a BSW walking towards 49th along Cicero.
I doubt it was a sting but lots of LE activity and a few tow trucks just driving around too. CPD might have been targeting real girls and letting them work until they were about to get in a car and then he would pop out.
Beware out there.

Pretty interesting. I am sure that these are CL girls and not SW's.

Sheriff hires prostitutes to pimp pimps
The Sheriff has hired prostitutes on the county's dime, but it's not what you might think.
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is working with two former "ladies of the night" in an effort to get information on Chicago-area pimps -- human traffickers.
The former prostitutes are also sharing their stories to teach women that they don't have to earn a living by selling their bodies.
"We were trying to use our brains" to fight prostitution, Dart told WBBM.
In a pair of stings this year, sheriff's deputies arrested 11 women. Two of those arrestees accepted the county's offer of work to help get them off the streets. The other nine received a phone number for the Department of Women’s Justice Services, which connects the women to social service and substance abuse assistance agencies.
Reining in prostitutes and the people who pimp them out was just one of several initiatives Dart detailed during a luncheon Monday at the Tinley Park Convention Center.He's also set his sights on video poker and the organized crime organizations that are often tied to those machines.
