Hey Clout People!
Or at least Clout Sergeants. Today is the day the "meritorious" letter is due in for the career service rank of Lieutenant. Did you get it in on time? Did you make your phone calls?
Supposedly, this is the last class off the list and a new test is going to be announced in March or April. Who has info?

I wish I had some info. Like I said before, who wants to be my clout?
Is Lt. 50% merit or 80% merit and has anyone ever seen the qualifications for merit or is just a boss with a GED putting someone in again. This is a joke.
Det is 20% merit
Sgt is 30% merit
Lt. is suppose 30% merit
Capt is 100% merit
There is no equal across the board it is a joke this is a lawsuit reguardless of what the unions have neogiated. Seiser is a SHEMALE
All D-2 and D-2A positions that have exam are 20% merit. All D-3 and D-4 positions are 30% merit. And D-5....100% merit.
What is merit? I've seen two time medal of valor winners passed by. I've seen people with little or no police activity made.
Again, what constitutes "merit?"
Was wondering if a group of us from here is interested in going to a Cubs game?
Donahue is D-8 what's that;
the answer is.....
Beat 1969 on suicide watch again if he doesnt make it on merit this time.
Is there another sergeants class coming off the current list.
Hey,is it true to the rumor that we now have to swipe in and out ?
Little birdie said it is at the Academy and at HQ's...as of 22Feb06
Is this the fair Mayor's work?
Attention: If you know of anyone of your neighbors having a gun safe in their house please call the Area 5 Gun team. We are short on guns and need to catch up with the 25 district gang team. Any info is good. The bigger the safe the better. We will put you on the honorable.
Did anyone else get junk mail from American Thermal Windows identifying you as a police officer? I know I've never signed up to receive this stuff, so I'm wondering how they got my name, address, and that I work for the Chicago Police Department? WTF!!!
With just a phone call Browning will give up the combo to your safe. So buy wisely.
These no policing misfits are planning midnight attacks on the homes of range personnel next. Glad to see Cline's Search Warrant class is paying off.
wish i could retire today said...
OFF TOPIC: BUT MORE B.S. FROM COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS,NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, AND MINORITY CITIZENS!
I was at today's F.O.P. meeting where Mr. Donahue mentioned that the results of the infamous (traffic stop statistical study)AKA/Northwestern U. CPD racial profiling program are in and so far essentially vindicate us (CPD) of profiling..Good news, right?
WRONG! It appears that the community groups and activist's don't like the results.(When it started, these people where claiming that racial profiling in Chicago was running rampant. They stated publically that they expected 30% or higher for the percentage of profiling that they believe to be occurring)
Guess what?.. a year or so later the results are about 1% ,statistically insignificant. The F.O.P. told the city in essence, you see, our officers are fairly enforcing the laws and not profiling.
The study was supposed to last through 2007.(Where officers attach the sticker on the back of the citation, or fill out a green study card if no citation is written)
WELL, THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ENACTED THIS CRAP ARE NOW UNHAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. "OH MY, HOW CAN THIS BE? THERE HAS TO BE RACIAL PROFILING" (Mocking tone of voice)
So now they are attempting to change the State/City legislation TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM IN PERPETUITY!(That means endless or indefinately..AS IN FOREVER)
What a bunch of shit! Time to get out of patrol!
What makes me angry is that when this started, the position of most police officers toward the critics was "we don't racially profile, we criminal profile"
I've have never racially profiled in my career. I am white, and honestly have given so many breaks to black motorists over the span of my career, that it makes me sick.
Yet, the media will continually run anti-police stories without any scientific evidence but only "anecdotal stories" from the same DISENFRANCHISED GROUPS about how my cousin, or babies momma was "pulled over for no reason" ("excuse me MR or MRS. no license, no city sticker, no insurance, back bumper held on with rope"..you get the picture)
Now they have their scientific evidence and they don't like the results (1 % NOT the 30-35%) they were hoping for, so let's make it permanent..WAY TO FUCK THE HARD WORKING POLICE OFFICERS OF THIS CITY INTO WASTING MORE TIME ON BULL-SHIT!
IF only the city spent this much time trying to root out corruption or getting 27th ward aldercreature Walter Burnett to fix his building code violations or pay his housing court fines instead of messing with CPD..this city's citizens would be better off!
Sorry about the length..but I thought you all should know. Plus, I just had to vent a little bit!
Thanks

Let's all meet for the game at the OPS or IAD offices so they can get a good look at us. Watch the CR numbers fly...

Does that REALLY surprise you??
And you know the brass are going to fight against it, right? 'Eh, who cares, it's just one more document they have to fill out.'
My favorite part of the study was that we cannot ask the driver what race they are, we have to guess. I don't rememeber a Racial Identifer Course at the academy do you?
I think Da Mayor's automatic red light violator cameras should fill out the racial study too!!!
If rejected (again), 2262 will also be on suicide watch. He REALLY deserves it...MY ASS!!!

The hundred sgt's to be that are in the academy are replacing last year's retirements/promotions. Expect a class of about 25-30 Lt's so they have to replace them. Expect another 20-30 retirements w/the new paper in place. The department won't be able to make a class off the new test till May-June 2007. I'll let you do the math.
My wife hopes they pull the sergeants list so I'll become totally discouraged and leave this shithole town sooner rather than later. Sour Grapes? Maybe, maybe not, there is absolutely no future in this town for anyone who works for a living and is not hooked up to some ward healer or special interest group. Thats the bad news, the good news is that the minute you venture out of Chicago you encounter educated, legitamite working families that could not care less what the hell happens at Keeler and Wilcox, or in Bridgeport. Twenty years and out might not seem that bad after all.
The last time I checked this is the year 2006. Grading a test doesn't take two months. We should not only get the answers back from the test immmediately, but we should get the test back as well to see what we did wrong. The City of Chicago makes every attempt to hide things creating an atmosphere of corruption. Does the F.O.P. care? The F.O.P. should fight for the release of the test and the scores immediately without such a long delay.
To 10:07.. Its loser not looser! At least cub fans can spell! And have all their teeth!
Where do all these anonymous trolls come from
Ah Ha! So thats where those guns are at. The range guys got safes full of them! They were shooting machine guns at area 5 yesterday.
I know for a fact that there is no clout hiring going on in CPD. The Dept. even sent a letter last week naming the person the CITY hired to be our Shakman monitor. LMAO.
30% merit my a$$, what about the secret study group? That bumps up merit quite a bit. Sgts. test members included Cline, O'Shea, Caves-Breen-Smith, Weiberg. Their people can't have them make it on merit, it looks bad. They had to make it "legit".
Figured out a way to get our dept. to reflect the diversity of the community. Lets start by assigning black officers to predominatly black parts of the city, white offices ...white parts of the city...etc. Simple solution...think they will go for it??? The city is so concerned as to extend the recruitment drive. This way everyone wins...and I get to serve my community.
In the old days the copper would have stolen most of those guns, retired, and moved to Florida.
I am an Officer of mixed racial background. I am part white, black, hispanic and korean. I also enjoy cross dressing as a female on my RDO's. Which part of the City would I be assigned?
Thank You!
NOTICE TO ALL POLICE: It is illegal for anyone to have firearms and ammo within 1000ft. of a school. We should check the homes of all police near a school for these weapons of mass destruction.

Officer you are very versitle! Please put in your paperwork for when I retire.
But get ready for spend a whole weekend blowing Richie Daley!
100% merit gives you great leaders like Capt. White, Lenti etc. (Ha HA) why not make it fair like in te old days if your that good take a test.
Bart, the lost then found missing K-9 has been slated for a merit promotion to Lt. Congratulations Bart!

Commission on Merit Promotions
More great news for the Cook County Sheriff Office!
Today a judge sentenced Cook County Sheriff Jail Guard Kenyatta Sanders to 15 years in prison for sneaking in a pistol and knives and a cell phone for her man, who was in for murder.
First off, why do we have females guards working the the maximum security wing, or any wing for that matter, with male inmates?
All it takes is some smooth talker to tell the dumb broad he loves her and she will bring in an atom bomb for him. Time to change that policy Sheehan!
And secondly, looking at the Sun-Times, they posted the requirements to become a turnkey at Cook County. You can get in with a CPS high-school or GED diploma. That's right, a GED! Maybe time to change that one too!! If you want to attract more desireable, non gangbanger, elements, try a college degree. You get what you pay for!!
Remember Harley Shinker and Joe Curtain. Talk about some fools. Those two could give White and Lenti a run for their money any day.
Here's the ticket. If we call it "merit", no one will figure that it's all clout.
Yeh. That'll work!
Dat's CHICAGO!
Teletype came out from Phil's office. Per said office the department is pleased to inform its members and general public that as of 0001hrs the department will be going legit. Further no more laughing, grab assing, and mayor bashing will be tolerated. As a show of support for its police officers, the Mayor is lifting residency and selling the "bean". Profits from the sale will be used to open up a soup kitchen in Lincoln Park as well as along the Mag Mile. Have a nice day.
See the latest and greatest guns and police gear with videos from the Las Vegas SHOT SHOW. Yes, another shameless plug!

You should have heard all the crying at Headquarters today as they now ALL have to swipe their ID's! HA HA HA HA
The signs covering the ENTIRE entrance reminding them to swipe were waaaaaay tacky!

The Chicago Cubs are proud to announce the following
promotion.
For every season ticket bought you will receive the
CD soundtrack from
the Oscar nominated movie BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.
With minutes of this promotion all tickets.....SOLD
OUT.
Why spend money putting together a team, you just
need a promotion to
appeal to your customer, said Cubs Management.
Swiping is not new to the Department. 35th Street and Academy were swiping several years ago. It was supposed to take over part of the timekeepers job. It never worked that way and went by the wayside. It's all B.S. A report comes out and says what time you swiped in and out. Big deal. The timekeepers are still doing their jobs. If you show up to work on time and leave on time -what's the big deal? Afraid they'll catch you cheating? Don't cheat on your time, it's that simple.
yeah, well we have the world champs, loooser
Here's the ticket, if they have merit promotions everyone will think the rest are legit.
The reason for the swiping is that everyone (well not everyone, almost everyone) still cheats. Until they put the swipe box in the watch commanders office with a camera in there (And it's coming) you'll still see the cheating. Otherwise someone just swipes for you. But be carefull because swiping for someone else will get you in trouble with the FEDs (try Briatta). If you don't think they know what's going on you live in a dream world. It's just that they're looking for bigger fish right now.
For those with the inside scoop...how far are they on the current Sgt's list? How far down the list are they going to go??
IM GOING TO 016 TO CHEW BUBBLE GUM AND KICK ASS!!!!......AND I'M ALL OUT OF BUBBLEGUM......

They are down to about #324 on the list. There are rumors of a final class of 50 to 75 sometime before part 2 of the new Sgt exam.
They should promote 1662 to a real sgt
WHEN YOU PLACE A NEW SAFE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU SHOULD DO IS CHANGE THE COMBO.
THE SAFES ARE SHIPPED WITH A DEFALT COMBO THAT CORESPONDES TO THE SER/LOT NUMBER.
DON'T HIDE THE COMBO ON OR NEAR THE SAFE.....COMMIT IT TO MEMMORY.
CONVINENCE WILL FOREEVER BE THE ENEMY OF SECURITY.
The City is the party that INSISTED on a Captains selection process that didn't include a test as in all the other ranks... NOT the people who actually attained that rank.... I realize that there are probably more than just a few that are less than stellar in the rank, but the selection process is codified in the Captain's contract. Unfortunately, the city didn't see fit to actually follow the process as outlined in the contract for the first group that was made. This was grieved by the Captain's Association, and subsequently, the process, as outlined in the contract, has pretty much been followed ... unfortunatelly it isn't a perfect world....
I would bet that most LT's and many Capt's would welcome a test for the rank rather than the process that is in place... unfortunately the bottom line was, either play it without a test, or don't make ANY captains.
I think, and it's only my opinion, that it is better to have Captains than to not have them... Take a look around, the testing procedure "Chicago Style" isn't exactly the best vehicle for promotions either...
To comment on some of the other promotions - the D2 and D2a isn't a "merit" percentage per se, it is a "Management" percentage of those who pass the test, management can "promote" 20% without regard to seniority to the D2 and D2A ranks, it has really nothing to do with merit as outlined in the process for Sgt. and Lt. or for the promotion process for Captains.
Just my 2 cents......
OHHHHH RICKYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
OHHHHH MARIAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
I JUS GOT TIRTY DAYZ PENDING SEPERASHEON!!!!!
OHHHHH RICKYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
OHHHHH MARIAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
JEEZ, I GUESS I HAF TO GO SELL ELOTES NOW.

OHHHHHH RICKYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE ELOTES CART IT IS? I JUS DO NOT KNOW.
OHHHHHHH MARIAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
OHHHHHH RICKYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
I WILL GO NOW. I BUY CORN AND PAPYA FOR MY CART I PUSH AROUND.
Is that last blog related to Guererro?
Paul Tasch Jr. just retired from 025...There must be one hell of a party going on there now!!
Andy Dakuras thinks he is a Lt. already!!
Making the rank of Capt. an appointed position was the smartest thing this dept. ever did....... for itself.
It's the worst thing that could've happened for the everyone else. Now you have a bunch of clout hacks who are at the mercy of the higher brass.
I think if you're a Lt., you must be crazy to want to be Captain. Unless you got some major "untouchable" whack, then your just a whipping boy/girl for the Commanders and up.
At least as a Lt. you have some bargaining power.
There is no better job on this dept. than Field Lt. Period.
To 11:39:07...
AMEN!
HEY ANDY YOU SMASHED A COVERT, BEAT UP A DRUNK POLICEMAN AND YOU REALLY WANT TO WORK IN 015?
#325 is next on the list
Why would anyone be happy with Capt. Tasch leaving? He didn't bother anybody, all he asked you to do was to do your job,thats it. If I had to pick between him and the dead weight thats been there for years, I'd pick him in a heart beat. He didn't make 025 the way it is, those goof balls that have been there since day one did.
Tasch was and always will be a STROKE. He kills a policeman while working special and the dead coppers family had to fight for years to recieve their benefits. Tasch gets promoted. Then goes to IAD as no one can stand the piece of shit.
I know personally he fucked with guys for no reason. When he was in 017th he used to fuck with guys, including supervisors that had 40 years on the job for little pimpy things. Then he would tell the old timers that if they did not like him fucking with him they should quit. One of the old timers finally filed a lawsuit against this stroke for Age Discrimination and he finally stopped his crap.
Anyone that would stand up for this sack of shit is probably one of his fellow IAD rats or someone that is hoping to land a job with him at his new post.
Kill a copper get promoted... This job is so fucking legit.
OH MARIAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
OH RICKYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
I JUS GET TIRTY PENDING, AND THEY TAKE MY BAAGE AWAY.
I JUESS I DON'T NEED NO STINKING BAAGES TO PUSH MY ELOTES CART.
ELOTES! ELOTES! ELOTES!
OH RICKYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
OH MARIAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
I MAYBE CAN SELL CERVEZA BY DE LAKEFRONT YOU KNOW, BUDWISER OR CORONA. I PUSH MY CART AND SELL ELOTES AND CERVEZA.
OH RICKYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
OH MARIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
I NO GET NO MORE CALL FROM LAPA.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS.
HELLO LAPA, HELLO????
OH NO, THEY NO CALL ME.
Tell me more about the accident. I wasn't on the job then, but as I hear it, he was responding to a hot call, a slowdown was given which he either ignored or did not hear and continued on. A drunken illegal immigrant then ran a red light, struck his squad car which resulted in the death of his partner. Is this correct or did I hear wrong. If thats what really happened how can you hold him accountable? Name me one Officer that hasn't ignored a slowdown and continued on? We have all done it. If thats the way the incident went down, why are you blaming Tasch and not the drunk driver? And no, I am not an IAD puke nor am I looking to go with him to his new spot. I just believe that while he was in 025 he was fair and impartial. He never asked us for anything more than for us to do our jobs. Never asked me for a mover, arrest or anything else. Just handle my jobs.
Tasch was working in a 3 man car during special employment. He was driving a there was a call and he proceeded to drive like Mario Andretti, balls to the wall over some Cabrini Green TNB. He was the DRIVER, and threw any and all caution out the window. His lack of regard for his fellow officers (passengers) resulted in one died and the other paralyzed. He never got in trouble for it because his daddy was a exempt. Just to show how the apple don't fall far from the pear tree, his father suspened himself one time for soemthing to do with a firearm. I was in 017 when Tasch Jr was there and he was a J A G O F F . I was licky not to be on his watch. If you want to go to his retirement party they will have it in a phone booth to accomodate the large crowd.
Is this Tasch the same who worked on Area 4 as either a Sgt or Lt around 1999-2001?

You answered your own question. HE DISREGRDED THE FUCKING SLOWDOWN. He is responsible for a Good Policemans death.
ELOTES ANYONE???
HELLO.........
OLA, TEEZ RICKYYYYYYYYYYY HERE!!!!
UH OH, TINO IS CHASING ME......
two scum bags Harley Hanker and Mike Hoke, bag men in the 10th district for Sup. Leroy Martin
Paul Tashs father was a wire tapper and a fat pig onb the job as a Lt. Paul jr proved himself to be a bigger jagoff then his father.
I dunno. It seems to me that we are condeming him for something that we have all done. I think the blame should be put on the drunk that struck the squad car, not the driver of the squad car. By blaming Tasch for this unfortunate incident and not the drunk driver, aren't you doing the same thing that the general public does to us? We chase a guy for, say bank robbery,he crashes and then we get blamed. They don't sue the bank robber, they sue the copper and the city even though we are only doing our job. Tasch did nothing that most of us have done from time to time. I think you are being unfair.
when is next detective class?
and the next sergeants class
Tasch was a prick who made a career of fucking over coppers like his jagoff hypocrite Old Man who made a career of fucking over coppers.
Bill Morrison was a excellent P.O. and a great guy. RIP Bill.
