Rumor Mill Activity
Rumor has it three (3) Captains are going to lose their bars today as the have not fulfilled the requirements to hold the position (i.e. four year degree). No word on where they're going or how it's going to come down. The only name we heard was a certain person who has been on the receiving end of merit promotions at least three times.

cnxtthe job is on the legit...
With several notable exceptions, everyone on the job above the rank of lieutenant metaphorically (if not literally) sucks cock.
...yet there are District Commanders who lack the ability to read and write beyond a 6th grade level.
Maybe the South should rise again!
it's true and there's more than 3 going down... they got called to 35th street on monday, tuesday. and wednesday to get the good news
You know what really cracks me up about the kool-Aid crew, its that they are so out of touch. Every once and a while you hear these goofs (on the way home in a take home car) get on the radio "squad...oh no there's a fender bender in traffic, you need to send a car right away!" Then the dispatcher tells them that there is a back-log and there on-view traffic crash is at the bottom of the list. This is when I start to giggle.
I can just picture them standing there scratching there head. Hmmm what should I do?? Completely clueless how to handle even the simplest of police related incidents. And you know they are mother f'in the beat guys at the water cooler the next day for not racing to the scene for a type A drivable crash.
Yeah this jobs legit
Parra and Elmer, don't know 3rd, rumor I heard at least
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
There are many available lieutenants in patrol who have the qualifications.
Why not promote some of them?
Don't know Parra, but Elmer is a prince. Would never hurt a working copper...so then it would just make sense to take away a bar from him. I wonder how many exempts don't have college...

Why not post your name with that comment? You couldn't lick the sweat of John Farrell's sack. Maybe you should; you might learn something from the DNA. You post your name, I'll post mine, and then we'll meet and discuss this the old fashioned way.
Green and Hamilton 021
heard 5 total
is there more ?
The city is throwing them a bone....
They should have demoted them last 31 December 2005 like the order reads.. instead they wait til' the middle of April which is the best time to retire. (Most retire this time of year)
Art Parra should be in jail. The fact that he isn't is a political miracle.
The fact that he is a Captain is just a disgrace.
The lieutenants that are in patrol, and are acting patrol watch commanders, are considered by the 35th Street brass as losers. They have no clout, and know what a bunch of bullshit that C.A.P.S. and Strategy and Accountability is.
So they will promote people that haven't been in a district station for more than five minutes. What, they expect me to work at night!?!
2:58 AM
While I may have phrased it more delicately, I know that 12:45 AM has a valid point.
If this job was even half-legit, Lt. John Farrell would be the Chief of Detectives.
You've got my name. What's your name?
The Jane Fonda comment has been proved to be an Urban Legend. Yes, she called US Airmen war criminals and baby killers. Yes, she was named on of the women of the centruy (a few years ago) but NO, she didn't pass slips of paper given to her by POWs to their captors. Go to Snopes.com and read about it. There are plenty of reasons to hate Hanoi Jane's guts, but we don't need fiction to do it.
GREAT POINT,
Do GOLD STARS NEED A 4 YEAR DEGREE?
You are NOT qualified to be a captain without a degree BUT you are qualified to be a captains boss WITHOUT one ??
What about Capt. Kolbida? Did he make it?
That's because they refused to drink the new, concentrated "Invisble" Kool-Aid
And now, a commercial break ...
(In the middle of 3510 Michigan, a few Exempts sit outside, feeling bored. Suddenly SCC comes out from behind the tree.)
SCC: Eh, what's up, Exempts?
EXEMPTS: Nothing's up!
SCC: Hey! Let's make some Kool-Aid!
(Contents of Kool-Aid are poured into a pitcher; SCC keeps stirring, unaware of the new clear liquid. then suddenly, a long line of exemots and brass pop up on the sidewalk They come clamoring down to greet SCC, who serve them Kool-Aid.)
EXEMPTS: Everybody digs Kool-Aid!!
UPPER BRASS: Make some Kool-Aid softdrink mix!!
SCC: You can always use another friend!
That was incredibly un-funny.
You need to hire a team of Jewish writers.
Seiser does not drink Kool-Aid.
He only drinks his own urine.
Can't give my name, Northside, casuse Farrell hates when his name is all over this blob, but.... He should have been chief of dicks years ago. They're throwing him a bone, well deserved and a long time comin', by making him captain.
It's a kool-aid commercial. we're not splicing DNA
I've noticed something with the new Invisible Flavored Kool Aid. How do I say it. It makes me taste funny. Well actually my balls. They taste funny.
ROTFLMAO @ TRIUMPH
you KIDD! you KIDD! lol
How many of these ridiculously un-funny "Drink the Kool-Aid" comments are we gong to have to read? Stop posting them, you are not funny
Given how easy it is to get your bachelor's degree now (ala Lewis University), there's absolutely NO excuse these captains can give for not getting their degrees. Come on. You can go to the academy, get your Mickey Mouse University degree and be done. Either it's fucking laziness or a matter of the usual "I'm Special" and the rules don't really apply to me.
12:25 PM
Au contraire. There are those amongst us that regard the "drinking the Kool-Aid" metaphor as hysterical.
What the F*CK, you got to be F*CKEN kidding me...CAPTAINS ARE MADE and then.....and THEN after it is all said and done..they are going to be stripped of their title because of the FOUR YEAR DEGREE REQUIREMENT? HOW ABOUT FOUR FINGERS UP THE ASS ON THAT! THIS is gotta be some BULLSH*T. THIS IS GOTTA BE SOME F*CKEN ORAL CHOKE-THE CHICKEN PECKERHEAD BULLSH*T. IF and only IF this IS TRUE, not that I care one way or the other, but its the underlying factor of someone HAVING THEIR HEAD UP IN THE ASS SO FAR THAT THEY CAN'T SEE DAYLIGHT. AND IF THIS IS TRUE, F*CK, JUST think what the F*CK IS GOING THROUGH THE MINDS OF THOSE CAPTAINS TODAY AND THEIR FAMILIES. GREAT,JUST F*CKEN FANTASTIC.
Fair is Fair! All Exempt's should have the 4 years of College, no matter who it is!
Anyone know when the Det's list is coming out? And how many they are going to make???? I heard they have a moron that is heading the training for the DIC's. Heard its all screwed up
"Why not post your name with that comment? You couldn't lick the sweat of John Farrell's sack."
I didn't make the comment, but it didn't seem to be direct at J.F.? He is a great boss, no doubt. But the way you guys lick his asshole clean is embarrassing.
Northside, no disrespect but chill the fuck out and learn how to read. The man said there are "exceptions".
Kulbida has a degree. Got it in December too, leave him alone. The rest of these guys had a chance to get one. You can get a degree from Calumet College in 18 months, fuck'em if they were too lazy of thought they had too much clout.
sorry meant or not "of" for you anal spelling police.
college has become a big business in this country.
a college education is unnecisary for most of the positions in this dept. or the private sector for that matter. the fields of engineering, medicine, law, education and the sciences all require a high degree and one should seek out the finest school.
if you paid attention in high school you will probably have no problem functioning in all but the most technical positions on this dept. with minimal on the job training.
we all know people who spent a lot of money at a mediocre school persuing an unmarketable degree who are now making less money than a patrolman.
in the near future, with tuition skyrocketing and white collar job offshoreing, more and more "educated" people will be performing a cost benifit analysys.
There's nothing wrong with the degree requirement if it is required when you come on this job, it wasn't for most of us with over 10 years on. The city then decides they want college for future promtions, now most people that want to be promoted have to throw their family lives into upheaval and try to get back to school to satisfy this requirement, instead of being grandfathered in, the logical choice, say from 1995 and on; so schools like Lewis, Calumet etc. recognize this and try to make it alittle easier and convienent for those in that category to fulfill this requirement and they constantly get slammed, I can't figure it out, and no I don't go to one of those schools but probably will so I can finish my Bachelors, while working and raising my kids.
1:32 PM ANONYMOUS:
No disrespect but I, too agree that there are exceptions. Some of the "exceptions" know that they have my friendship, admiration and respect. I wouldn't name these bosses lest they be working as a field lieutenant in some shithole thirty miles from home.
Don't concern yourself about MY composure. I've "chill(ed) the fuck out" along time ago. You might say it coincided with my retirement.
Perhaps you could tutor me on my inadequate reading skills.
Any more profound insights?
Happy Easter!
Northside stop talking to the Asshats who get upset when people like yourself set the story straight on how bullshit this department is. It only makes them feel legitamite.
They hate it when people talk about how ridiculous this department is and won't put their name on anything.
They should be ignored as if the little man on Lasalle street was talking.
goofs..........all of you
HOW HARD IS IT TO GET A GOLLEGE DEGREE WHEN YOU GET TO DO IT AT WORK?
Can't speak for anyone else, but I can't do it at work, I work and find time to do it when i'm off.
HOW HARD IS IT TO GET A GOLLAGE DEGREE...
Well it's obvious you have one.
GOLLEGE (SP ON SP)
GOOD NEWS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES!!!
YOU CAN APPLY FOR TROTTERS NEW SUPER DUPER POWER POOPER POSITION
AND MAKE BIGS BUCKS WITHOUT A COLLEGE DEGREE!!!! HE DID!
No paper required for that position.
I am going to personnel dept Mon. and putting my name on the waiting list.
there are NO requirements to become an "exempt" member of this department, ANYONE can be appointed regardless of rank, or even status as sworn/non sworn.
The Captain's requirement to have the degree was written into the CONTRACT in 1999 with a deadline of 1 JAN 06, anyone who wanted to be a Captain had 6 years to comply - that isn't too bad - and that included those who were appointed before 1 JAN 06.
Perhaps exceptions could have been written into the contract, but they weren't.
Is it just me, or does anyone else want to see a current picture of Northside? To me, showing a picture of yourself from 30 years ago is either a feeble attempt to cling to your youth or dissatisfaction with your current state. Northside, will you put a new picture up with your hairy ears? You obviously are starved for attention.
Methinks it's just you. Northside rocks!
DO I DETECT THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.
NORTHSIDE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE IF YOU MUST RESORT TO EAR HAIR. I SEE YOU CANT CRITISIZE HIM AS A GREAT DICK AND COP. WONDER WHY.
I BET YOUR THE SAME GUY THAT SAYS ALL YOUR ENEMIES TAKE IT UP THE A**.
IGNORE THE JEALOUS A**HOLE, JOHN.
Who cares how old the picture is? Northside is smokin hot-- looks and brains!
I was gonna ask if he would want to be my sugar daddy, but since no college degree is needed for upper level positions, I will apply for that! And maybe a little Northside on the side ;)
Northside's pic is sexy as shit!
You're a hottie back then and I'm sure you still are today!

Boogie for CAPTAIN REPLACEMENT
College degrees make you a cop!?
Yeah sure!
"LEWIS" College is such a joke, they fondly refer to it as......
"Jerry LEWIS U"
...."hey laaaadie, Oy Dean!"
Can anyone explain, legitimately, why you need a college education for this job?
College people in studies have more of a cognitive abilty to reason and think clearly. Some studies have also concluded that the AREA 2 GUN TEAM would be good people for that reason alone.
There *is* no "logical" reason for a college degree on this job. Most of the best cops I've ever known never went to college at all.
College grads are just more indoctrinated with liberal B.S. than the rest of us.
Once your dumb ass gets a degree, you may stand on your soap box and call Lewis or any other college anything you want. As long as your remain uneducated and equally educated to the average shitbird, shut your pie hole
It kills me to hear that phrase "some of the best cops I know don't have college..." Big deal, some of the best cops I know do have college....change with the times, do you still wear a leisure suit or go to discos bonehead? No you changed with the times and the times say education is important, so just do it. If all of you anti-college people worked as hard at getting a degree as you do about whining about it, you would have graduated already.

You are an idiot. The only "legitimate" reason to have a degree to get the job, is because they told you to!
The Shity instituted this rule in an attempt to keep gang bangers and other degenerate thugs out of the Dept. That's it! Period.
It's not that they want intelligent police (god forbid that!), or they want police that are really good at sucking down beer bongs. They just thought it would cut down some of the problems that they had in the past. Jeez, get over it.
The college requirement should not apply to officers who have over 20 yrs on, just their experience alone should make up for the need. But what you get is more lawyers in upper level of command who couldn't make it in real world as a lawyer but think they know all about police work, rarely did any street work (there are exceptions) and cause more harm that any good they provide. I agree they should grandfather those officers in.
".....The Shity instituted this rule in an attempt to keep gang bangers and other degenerate thugs out of the Dept. That's it! Period......"
At least somebody has seen the light! I thought I was the only one!
12:12
And this has stopped the corruption, and kept the gang banger's out?
Have you been to 003 district?
005?
You sir have been isulated far too long.
This department went over a hundred year's without college educated twits, and I assure you on any day that the old timers did a hell of alot better than we do to this day.
By the way, I'll be working on my Master's degree this fall.
Best Bosses I ever worked for had high school diploma's. They didn't worry about statistic's, media driven hype, or political beurocratic bullshit.
If the shit hit the fan, the boss had a number of guy's on the watch to take cure of the problem. In at least have a logical answer for it.
If they didn't have an answer, well, they told the truth. "Were still looking into it."
Today there's a press room, computer whizzes printing spread sheets, and analyzing...or brainstorming shit. They want answer's right now!
IT HASN"T DONE SHIT, the crime goes up and down, the press is alway's there, and crime will alway's be crime.
If you need a degree to lock up a schmuck for steeling a car, or selling a tin of heroin, and can't explain it to the judge that you had the right to do it, then stay in school, get a job analyzing all the wasted money this depatrment uses on bullshit.
Crime is crime, the cop's simply put the bad guy's away for doing it.
For the asshat (I still can't figure out what that is, except a toilett seat) who keep's saying 70 g's a year, what are you complaining about. The dividen work's out with inflation (REMEMBER THAT UNSPOKEN WORD BY ANY ADMINISTRATION---THEY NO LONGER USE IT. IT'S BAD FOR SOCIAL MORALE)to be at about $45,000.00.
Yes on the books, the older cops makes $70g's: after taxes, all bill's, and cost of living increases (INFLATION FOLK'S)you have enough money left over to buy a used car, and a weekend trip to Wisconsin.
I'll say it again; 70g's, after taxes equals about 45g's, add all the bills, you equal chump change.
Your making $45grand a year.
It's a fact, not an opinion.
2:31
Ohhh, some little jealous nerve got pricked?
Some little guy can't do what we do?
Ohhh, so sorry, so sorry.
You're not made of the reaal thing.
2:31
The koolaid thing is a police inside jab at political brass on the CPD...Which Northside is not.
That mean's you are either a troll.
An exempt member of the CPD.
Or a rookie (SIMILAIR TO AN EXEMPT).
TROLL ALERT!
TROLL ALERT!
TROLL ALERT!
Youse guys should stop watching cartoons. Grow up. Try to be the man yo mama was.
Quote: It kills me to hear that phrase "some of the best cops I know don't have college..."
I only wish it would.
I'll match my police abilities AND my intellect against yours any day of the week, you punk ass jagoff. I have yet to meet one of you "college wonders" who has an ounce of common sense.
I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY..."WHO GIVES A FLYIN' FLIPPIN' F**K". EVERYONE ON THE JOB KNEW THE JOB WAS BULLSHIT BEFORE THEY GOT ON. QUIT CRYIN'YA BIG BABIES.
Captain Dillon in 017???
