A Not So Serious Post About the Test
Use THIS post to tell stories about proctors, stories about alleged cheating and general screw ups that accompany every single test. Like the massive trip to the bathroom in 1997 where about 800 hundred people were trading answers at the break in the Merchandise Mart. Now THAT was a joke of a test.

A sergeant's test? Today? Surely you're not serious!
some chucklehead was playing with a cell phone while a sergeant was standing in the room towards the end of the test. when the sergeant told him to put it away, he had to tell him several times and proceeded to explain that they had just thrown someone out for text messaging in the washroom. wouldn't you think of going into the stall if you were going to be sneaky?
what do you really think people are doing in those bathrooms????
eithe cheating or working on their merit applic!!
Idiot F/4 in my class walked in and just sat down, had to be told to check in, duh, didn't you see everyone else check in and isn't that what you had to do for part 1? Had food from Starbucks with her as well. F/2 sitting next to me had to be told by procotor to stop smacking her gum during the test. Guess she had to be told that is ignorant and extremely annoying. Finally, proctor an F/1 had to rush to turn her phone off when it started ringing half-way through the test. Nice huh?
Great decision to have a test at the end of June in a CPS high school. I went through the morning session and it was hot, I felt for the afternoon people.
Room #275 afternoon session at Steinmetz had a exceptionally hot F/2 proctor. Big distraction. I'm now back on the westide driving to Mt. Sinai Hospital to see if they could give me some muscle relaxant, or ice, for this persistent swelling. She could sharpen my pencils anytime, anywhere.
The test was today???? I thought it was next week...oops
Where were the bosses? Didn't see a one.
ads tobias was at steinmetz for the morning session
room 504 steinmetz had the a/c blasting
I spend years working in a high crime area dealing with crap day in and day out. I've probably handled more homicide scenes then most Sgt's have and yet some fuck who hasn't got a scuff mark on his shoes or a scar somewhere on his body from fighting with duke all
This test is a wake up call to all police. This is what they want the Dept to be. Get use to it. With probably no pension at the end of the rainbow, I have 30 more years to see just how bad it can get.
To cloutsucks42, I love your answer to the lady with the 12 year old! Have a beer for me too.
I've probably handled more homicide scenes then most Sgt's have and yet some fuck who hasn't got a scuff mark on his shoes or a scar somewhere on his body from fighting with duke all day will probably do better than me.

Get over yourself already! If you are so damned smart, what the hell are you still fighting with "duke" for?
Another "hero" looking for an excuse and a scapegoat as to why he can't get promoted.
Common sense. That's all these tests are looking for. Some common fucking sense and rational thinking. It's a joke how many of these self-proclaimed ghetto warriors can't believe that there might actually be more to this job than just spanking "duke" and making one rock pinches.
Oh, I know: I'm a dick sucking clout baby, desk bitch, house mouse, etc, etc....NOT! NEWSFLASH: just because YOU think you should be a sergeant, doesn't necessarily make it so!
Anyone who is still fighting with "duke" on a daily basis after 5 years on this job would be working in the service indsutry for $8-$12 an hour without it, so man up, and shut the fuck up!
Crying like a bunch of god damn 3 year olds who lost their teddy bears! It's fucking degrading!
Shut up.
10:48:38 i loved ur answer,had me laughing my balls off. however you wasted that line of thought on the wrong bitch.its the bitches that dont show no concern for their kids or have attitude thta your answer needs to be directed to.
>>>>>>>>>>>>working in the service indsutry for $8-$12 an hour without it..."<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Um, that's only in this corrupt clout infested CITY, not in the burbs

Here is the deal. While the "Test" was looking for common sense, it was not a cross section of real issues that Working Police Officers deal with on a day to day basis. It seems that the days of being the real Police are over and now we have coppers running the other way when "duke" is armed or they wont follow some verbal judo commands. Some of us just seem more ok about that than others.
So I say rock on to the guy your complaining about, because when the streets go up, I dont think reciting the crime triangle or having the UCR Code commited to memory is going to help.
Stay safe all and start studying for the next test....lol
I am soooo glad I blew this test off today. Sounds like there's gonna be a LOT of disgruntled PO's and lawsuits to follow, as usual.
Thank God I have little more than 10 years to go before I pull the plug. Good luck to anyone who really, really wants the job of Sergeant... you can HAVE it! I slept 'til 11am and now I don't have to worry about dropping 100 spots down on the list over one stupid question.
Answer to the 12 y/o...could it be the police explorer program.....the department is pushing an agenda folks and unless we open our eyes, us in blue shirts are not going anywhere.
yeah all the ghetto coppers would kick the door in on a apartment they did not see the off.w/a gun run into and when they find granny scared to death they will expect the sargy to clean up their mess.They all probably got that answer wrong
the answer is to not go into the apartment because you lost sight and didnt see him go in there and didnt see a gun. however in a perfect world you would seal the apartment,verify through an interview the witnesses reliabilty/believibility(sp),and apply for and obtain a search warrant.

you are truely a fuc*+^n PIN-HEAD!
The hate crime question witht the cab driver. It's not a GOCR. You would document the incident of and Information report "Non-Criminal Incident Motivated by Hate." Another bad question!
These test have never been how much you know but who you know, or what gender and race you are. We must be politically correct and let the minorities have their way because they are smart
Who else saw right through the question about the burglary and the foot pursuit?
Woman caught and fought with and handcuffed the offender without help? Didn't use her pistol as an impact weapon?
TRICK QUESTION!!!!
Even using her pistol she never would have been able to do all that.
There was no right answer
wasnt officer battery report one of the reports you had to fill out because he 'went' for her gun-attempt to disarm a police officer?
The test was accurate!!!!!
What I mean is it portrayed broad coppers accurately. I don't want to correct the report, my partner screwed it up....WAAAAAHHHHHH. I can't go to CAPS meetings, I'm on the rag WAAAAAHHHHHH. He looked at my ass WAAAAAHHHHHH.
Hey guys stop your bitching, i didnt study for the test. I thought the test was more on how you would treat the troops as a sergeant.The last class made are all jagballs for the most part.So if your answers were fair to the p.o.'s and getting your job as a sgt done at the same time i think you will do well.I think the test was simple and i did o.k.But we all know what you think and your actual score are two different stories.I for one will not be talking shit to the p.o.'s that scored better than me ,now the other 30% are a different story.
To all you guys complaining about the make up of the test....What did you think they were gonna ask? I worked in the ghetto for my ENTIRE career before being promoted. I don't need to hear about "duke and crime scenes" been there. They still need supervisors who can read and write and know what the city "expects". How can you save a P.O.'s ass if you don't know how to bullshit the situation in accordance with department rhetoric? If you can't read, write and apply knowledge (a.k.a. I'm not a good test taker) then all the street knowledge in the world won't make you a good supervisor. A good boss should have both.

Now I know the slang broads for female cop's is often used by male rank and file all the way to the top of the koolaid food-chain. No surprise there but your across the board comment's of female officer's on the test only demonstrates you should not be on this job. If by remote chance you are a boss, I say just like the dept. to promote screwballs of no real value to the rank. A good boss does not trash their officer's, regardless of their gender. Please do us all a favor and never try calling yourself a cop. You have serious baggage get help.
Your attitude just show's another mental minus midget that cry's WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa what about me? You use across the board, negative comment's of female's as a cover up for your own lack of confidence.
To 11:10:48 you are a moron I have worked the ghetto for 10 years and also have a masters degree from an actual college not Lewis or ST Xavier so I know I could get a job making more then 8-12 dollars an hour asshat,I enjoy working there every day staying busy and dealing with Duke, you are probably to scared to have ever worked in the ghetto, so stay inside and leave the real police work to us
The last class made are all jagballs for the most part.So if your answers were fair to the p.o.'s and getting your job as a sgt done at the same time i think you will do well.I think the test was simple and i did o.k.But we all know what you think and your
There will ALWAYS be more jagballs to be made!
The lady proctor in room 20? saw I was a bit warm from the lack of air in the room and offered me one of her own bottles of water...I thank her for that..
THE PROCTER IN OUR ROOM WAS AN ORIENTAL GUY, I FELL SORRY FOR HIM, BECAUSE WHEN HE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SGT TEST HE PRONOUNCED SEARGENT AS SURGEON, EVERYTIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THERE WAS ALOT OF SNICKERING IN OUR CLASSROOM.

You must have been in room 302 with me. How about he butchered the entire list of instructions. What a fucking joke, he couldn't read or pronounce ANYTHING. Everyone was shaking their head saying WHAT?
I also saw people on their cell phones, in the bathroom going thru papers in their purses and what's up with bringing SNACKS and COFFEE? Am I the only idiot who followed the rules?
IM TAKING A WILD GUESS, BUT TO SCORE WELL ENUFF TO BE CALLED AS A SGT, WOULDNT U HAVE TO GET ALL 34 QUESTIONS ON THE SCANTRON 100% CORRECT TO HAVE A CHANCE?
What a joke. No rules were followed. Cell phones in use. Outside food brought in. People with cheat sheets. Of course non of this matters. Its to the point the city does not even attempt to have a legitimate test.
Room 328 at Wright morning session. M/1 po walks in and tells proctor I forgot my id card and my wallet. Where is it sir? asks proctor. In my car. replies po. Go get it sir. says proctor. Po returns shortly thereafter with no ID and takes his sergeants exam. Thanks buy owner!
Questions about the foot pursuit. Then the vehicle damage. Then question about what reports you need for this incident. Is that question about vehicle damage only or for the entire event
vehicle damage only
