Finally, Somewhere to Send Applications
- The Chicago Police board has hired a search firm to help find a replacement for Superintendent Phil Cline, who announced his retirement amid questions over how the department handled police misconduct allegations.
Chicago-based David Gomez & Associates, Inc. will conduct a national search and help the board choose three candidates, board President Demetrius Carney said Monday in a statement. Mayor Richard M. Daley is required by law to pick Cline's replacement from that group.
And of course, the obligatory Abbate beating gets a mention in the article:
- In one incident, a bar camera allegedly caught 12-year police veteran Anthony Abbate beating a female bartender after she refused to continue serving him drinks. Abbate faces felony charges stemming from the February incident.
Police faced intense criticism because Abbate originally was charged with a misdemeanor, until the videotape became public.
Even in the St. Jude articles we located, the Abbate video was mentioned in passing:
- During the parade for Chicago's forgotten heroes, it's easy to recall the seedier underside of the Department as seen in this bar room beating by 12 year veteran Anthony Abbate lumping on a woman barely half his size.
Ok, we made up that last paragraph.
But at least we know where to send applications and resumes for Superintendent now:

David Gomez & Associates..GREAT!
Who are the associates?
Probably all L.A.P.A. contributors!
I put $100.00 on the next Superintendant being of Mexican or Puerto Rican heritage!
The usual nation wide search conducted by the lil bridgeport retard. And guess what. Keating will be the Fist Deputy Supt. replacing, the hapless Starks, no matter who is appointed. And thats not a bad thing. Keating is a good guy except for his loyalty to the demented moron mayor we are saddled with. Starks will wind up working in a car wash.
Da mare's dog and pony show has begun. It's so tragic. You have to laugh just to keep your sanity.
On with the "nationwide search" for a black lesbian with a Hispanic surname that couldn't find an elephant in a phone booth.
If Daley throw$ u$ a big bone under the table, both of us will "apply" as $hills in an otherwise impossible attempt to give Daley some credibility with his "Operation Smoke and Mirrors".
For a few grand extra, Sheriff Joe Bob Buford of Buttfuck County, Mississippi will also mail in his curriculum vitae.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Foll me twice, shame on me.

WHO??
Cant's we do it online? (OT) Did you read the roepr column in the suntimes today about a copper and another bullshit story by roeper! SCC your right the media is not our friends at all! Read the story it just goes to show the nonsense they write about! Will this innocent copper that did like any other parent would do be stripped? PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING ON OR OFF DUTY TO HURT YOURSELVES BE A DOGASS AT LEAST YOU CAN RETIRE AND MOVE OUT OF THIS SCUM SUCK CITY RUN BY HUGE CRIMINALS!
WHO WILL BE HIZHONNER'S HO?
WHATS THE TRIBUNE CODE FOR ARCHIVE SITE??
To the few morons and cretins who have continually boasted here about their hero, Bratton, I guess he is not the stand up hero you made him out to be.
Cops get pummeled with bottles and other items at an illegal immigrant parade. They respond with force. He caves in, orders an investigation, and dumps two exempt members. Gee, cops protecting themselves and the bosses ordered them to protect themselves and your stand up hero dumps them and is going to discipline sixty more cops.
Do you really want such a stand up guy here? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?
ACTING DESK SGT TORRES FOR SUPERINTENDENT HE IS ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD AND IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP FELLOW P.O.'S
My read on the leading applicants:
Dana Starks, too dumb and Beavers and Whigham do not have the influence that they used to have.
Charles Williams, maybe but acted to preciptiously regarding the watch commander in 025 and his stupid policies and memos.
Hiram Grau, his lies regarding the homicide rate leave many questions.
Marie Maher, Only reason she has a job is because Cline trusted her to keep the lies going on the homicide rate.
Frank Limon, maybe as no scandals have touched him yet.
Debi Kirby, the SOS mess happened on her watch and the SAO had to address same not the CPD internally.
Karen Rowan, Please?
Tommy Byrne, A phony backstabber!
Chuck Ramsey, good guy who should be the man.
OBH FOR SUPERINTENDENT. TIME FOR CHANGE!
The job will be filled by an Illegal alien. daley has enough confidence in that group that he speeks and marches with them. Funny in 11 years on I have never seen him at a St.Jude
how come traffic aides can get more workers to support their cause that we can to support any of ours?
People bitch and bitch when it comes time to do something no one steps up to the plate.
It is a contract year everyone!!!!!!
A side not as well, how come TMA's can protest wearing their uniform?
I think they should hire Jesse Jackass to be the next super. Taht way when nothing changes they can blame the most rightous black man alive. Then I guess the media and the residents that are legal will understand.
Chuck Ramsey, good guy who should be the man.

A womanizer who pissed Daley off the last time he was looking for a Superintendent.
who is getting the kickbacks from from this david gomez thing...and why doesnt da mare just have a civilian panel be our next super..
"Keating is a good guy except for his loyalty to the demented moron mayor we are saddled with."
Can't have it both ways, is that a 3 way knob around? Him on the knees for the runt, you on your knees for Keating? Figured as much...
"Chuck Ramsey, good guy who should be the man.

signed, Terry Gainer Howdy Doodys' Albino step infetchit
The plan is to increase the penality for hitting a traffic aide and assigning a police officer on a bike to watch out for them while they direct traffic.
Keating is a sgt at rank! But the mayors daddy took him fishing when little jimmy was a child and a promise was made to a little boy and it will be kept!
9:12, was it the Telemundo reporter and the old women and young children pummeling the LAPD riot squad with rocks and bottles?
In a crowd of thousands, the agitators were estimated at several dozen in the police reports. 240 rubber bullets and a wild charge with batons swinging later, there is nationwide footage of something that would have made the last Czar blush.
There is no word that exists to describe how stupid people like you are. But if you want to start shooting into crowds and swinging at old women and children, all on camera, have at it hoss. I'm sure whoever it is you consider a stand up boss in Chicago will stand front and face the heat for you. Because there is this whole history of police bosses nationwide defending videotaped misconduct, right? Right?
Moron.
Mary Mitchell has a story about an off duty DET. R.S. strangling an 11 year old in a park. GREAT!
And just how did David
Gomez Assoc. get the contract? No bid, as usual, when dealing with the thieving democrats who run this place.
OFF TOPIC:
Big SWAT job in 010, sounds like bank robbery gone bad. SOmething about a SGT being injured, unsure the circumstances...

That's a pretty good idea, since he has so many opinions on how we should do our job, let him be supe and watch the crime skyrocket with the policies he would implement.
I FOR ONE PLAN TO STOP BY THE BERWYN,ILL POLICE STATION AND ASK CHIEF WILLIAM KURSHNER) TO APPLY FOR THE JOB. HE IS A STAND UP GUY WHO KNOWS HIS STUFF, HE HAS NO TOLERANCE FOR POLITICAL HACKS AND DO NOTHINGS HE WOULD STAND UP FOR THE WORKING NO CLOUT POLICE. CHIEF KURSHNER IF YOUR READ THIS BLOG LET US NO AND I WILL STOP BY PICK UP YOUR APPLICIATION FOR DROP IT OFF AT CITY HALL.
YOU BOYS BETTER GET USED TO MEXICANS BEING IN CHARGE.
DAVID GOMEZ........
RUN THE NAME JUNIOR DETECTIVES YOU MAY FIND SOMETHING.
CHECK THE ASSOCIATES BUSINESS CREDITS. HMMMM CANT LOGIN IN TO INTERNET AT WORK DAMN!
Keating is a jagoff. Anybody who rides around the loop on a segway in the winter is a dick. But he's never too busy to wash daley's balls.
I suggest Obama!
Legal Advice regarding OPS and IAD for police officers taken from SCS
Anonymous said...
Theycannot do a number of things without changing the orders and it must be in agreement with our contract.
1: They cannot order us to do anything. They are no longer a orat of the police department (will take a change of G.O---no big deal.) Because they are civilian and not a "member of a law enforcement agency "as defined by ILCS" we do not(by G.O) have to cooperate with their investigation. I believe our orders say that we will cooperate with any law enforcement agency in any investigation (even though our higher ups can plead the 5th.)
Second: If they have powers to subpeona you, then that would make it a civil or criminal trial. You do not have to answer questions regarding actions about your actions in anything outside of your employment. They will have to read you your criminal rights, not administrative, and then give you time to procure an attorney. I DO NOT CARE HOW INNOCENT YOU ARE: ALWAYS GET AN ATTORNEY AND DO NOT SAY ANYTHING UNLESS ORDERED TO BY AN EXEMPT.

If you feel that IAD has screwed you over take your case to the US Department of Justice, US Department of Labor, Illinois Department of Labor, Illinois Attorney General's Office and numerous nongovernmental agencies and organizations. IE: Better Government Association.
These steps will insure that you receive a fair and impartial review of what has transpired. You have rights just like an ordinary citizen and injustice and coverup will be EXPOSED.
It may take time to remediate but you will be made whole down the road. Not all attorneys dislike the police.
Mon May 07, 06:07:00 PM
Off Topic , but I just had to vent.
Today I received my letter from the city telling me ( a retiree )
that my monthly healthcare rate has risen again. W T F !!
Hey Mark , isn't about time that you and all of the other F O P people look into this a little deeper and actually try to do something about it. Don't forget you and all the others will be (retirees) sooner then you think. Were not asking you to contribute to our needs all we want is for you to get off your lazy ass and start doing what should have been done years ago , FIGHT HARDER !!
yeah, i looked for the king too but did not see him. must be mega trends to blame. we have 2 kids they have 7. when his son is ready it will be the hispanic vote that counts..... all the white seniors will be dead.
Has there been any Donny sightings?
Seiser. Enough said.
Karen Rowan....an excellent choice.
Has been the "go to" girl behind the scenes for years.
Has anyone takent the time or initiative to findout who the members of the Chicago Police Board are and who and what they are affiliated with?
Folks, this is the body that selects the future Superintendent and all disciplinary appeals over 15 days and termination cases.
SCC, probably should do a complete post on the Police Board. The Police Board maintains an incredible amount of power over police officers lives.
It is quite interesting and a conflict of interest that private attorney Tom Needham personally chose one of the board members,GEORGE M. VELCICH: Appointed in 1998 on the recommendation of Tom Needham, a top mayoral aide who went on to become former Police Supt. Terry Hillard's chief of staff.
Tom Needham regularly represents police officers in disciplinary matters in front of the police board. Does using Mr. Needham as your attorney guarantee your exoneration? Something to think about if you are appealing a suspension or are 30 pending separation.
POLICE BOARD MEMBERS
PRESIDENT DEMETRIUS M. CARNEY: Appointed in 1996, reportedly at the suggestion of former Daley Corporation Counsel Susan Sher. Partner, law firm of Wildman Harrold Allen & Dixon. For years, he was principal in a minority law firm, Carney Brothers, that frequently got a piece of the action on city bond deals. Graduate of De La Salle Institute, Daley's high school alma mater, but they were not classmates. Consensus-builder behind the scenes, but insists on being the board's only public spokesman.
VICE PRESIDENT SCOTT J. DAVIS: Appointed in 1989 on recommendation of former Daley Corporation Counsel Kelly Welsh. Partner in the clout- heavy law firm of Mayer Brown Row and Maw. Firm's partners either currently or once included: Welsh, former Daley chiefs of staff Roger Kiley and John Satalic and former U.S. Commerce Secretary William Daley, the mayor's brother. Savvy lawyer whose experience helped Carney get through his first term. Independent streak sometimes riles City Hall.
BOARD MEMBERS
ARTHUR J. SMITH: Longest-serving board member, appointed by former Mayor Harold Washington in 1986. Only board member not chosen by Daley. Former Chicago police officer who parlayed his extensive political contacts into a string of successful businesses. Used to own a bus company that got a steady stream of government contracts. Now owns a company that does fingerprinting and background checks for a host of government agencies. Close to former Mayor Eugene Sawyer and a host of African-American politicians. Perennial campaign contributor.
WILLIAM J. KIRKLING: Appointed in 1996 at the behest of Ald. William Beavers (7th), who was then Police Committee chairman . Still known in political circles as "Beavers' dentist." A former Chicago police officer who left the force to become a dentist. Doesn't hesitate to side with black defendants against police.
THE REV. JOHNNY MILLER: Appointed in 1998 on the recommendation of Charles Bowen, the mayor's chief liaison to the black community. Pastor of the West Side's Mount Vernon Baptist Church. Reportedly met Daley at a CAPS march and impressed the mayor with a band and other church-sponsored activities for local youth. Replaced the Rev. Wilbur Daniel in a Police Board slot long reserved for a black minister. Selection was controversial because it shifted the plum from a South Side church to the West Side. South Siders reportedly were not happy.
GEORGE M. VELCICH: Appointed in 1998 on the recommendation of Tom Needham, a top mayoral aide who went on to become former Police Supt. Terry Hillard's chief of staff. Partner in the law firm of Belgrade and O'Donnell, P.C. Served as assistant state's attorney under Daley, but not a close friend or mayoral confidante. Has had only a handful of conversations with the mayor. Chosen more for his legal expertise. Daley likes to have a preponderance of experienced lawyers on the Police Board to plow through a huge case file.
PHYLLIS L. APELBAUM: Appointed in 1996. Founder and CEO of Arrow Messenger Service Inc. Influential businesswoman and consummate political insider. Reliable campaign contributor. Close friend of Daley's Buildings Commissioner Norma Reyes. Popular among police command and rank-and-file because she never misses a recruit graduation or retirement party. Aside from Carney, board member with the closest ties to City Hall.
PATRICIA C. BOBB: Appointed in 1998. President of a law firm that bears her name and specializes in medical malpractice cases. Former Chicago Bar Association president who spent time as an assistant state's attorney. Chosen for her legal expertise, but reportedly got to know Daley at parents nights and sporting events at St. Ignatius College Prep. Bobb's children were students there with the mayor's daughter Lally.
VICTOR M. GONZALEZ: Least-experienced board member, appointed in 2000 on the recommendation of CTA Board member and Hispanic Democratic Organization founder Victor Reyes, the mayor's former intergovernmental affairs director and all-purpose political enforcer. Senior counsel for UNICARE Health Plan. Replaced Victor Armendariz in a Police Board seat long reserved for Hispanics. Armendariz left the board in 1999 to mount a losing campaign for mayor of west suburban Cicero.
Are 2 year wonders eligable?
how come traffic aides can get more workers to support their cause that we can to support any of ours?

A side not as well, how come TMA's can protest wearing their uniform?
5/08/2007 11:26:00 AM
Because Chicago Police like to just settle. Ho Hum, ok, this is what we have to do.
The TMA's are out there protesting and we do nothing for ourselves to improve anything but post anonymous comments on SCC. We bag on people with an education when really you would have to be a complete idiot if you actually applied for this job and are educatated!
Many more scandals are on the horizon for the CPD and will be forthcoming in the next few months. SCC definitely has a pulse on things. SOS names? Take a read on this:

OFF TOPIC:
Everyone see that FBI bust of those
assholes that were going to ambush
Soldiers at Fort Dix?
At first when I heard it was Yugo immigrants, I thought it was Christian Serbs mad at us for bombing them over 10 years ago. Turns out it was muslims. Why the f*k did we stop the Serbs from killing these animals(thanks clinton);why should Yugo muslims want to attack us after we defended them? If its all out war lets finish these PsOS now!!!!!
During discovery, Magistrate Judge Keys ordered the City to provide a list of all Chicago police officers who has more than ten official complaints lodged against them in a five year period. Bond V. Utreras, 2006 WL 695447, at *1(N.D. Ill. March 10,2006). The City consequently produced documents(the “Repeater List”) containing the relevant officers’ names and unit of assignment. The Repeater List also contains, for each official investigation (“CR”) into the officers’ alleged misconduct within the five-year period, the CR’s identification number,dates of initiation and completion,investigatory outcome (“sustained,” “unsustained,” “unfounded,” or “exonerated”), and discipline imposed against the officer, if any,as a result of the investigation.
How does the city charge officers with official misconduct administratively and not criminally? Where is FOP/PBPA on this?
Rule No. 1 -violation of any law or ordinance, don't you have to commit a crime to be charged with said?

//////////////////
TMA's are part-timers who make 15.59 an hour with no benefits. They are trying to get themselves into full time with benefits and job security. They are keeping accurate records reflecting the revenue they are generating for the city via parking tickets.
TMA's do not have a union that I know of but they are well organized.
As far as protesting in uniform? If you work 3rd how many times have you seen people wearing their postal, UPS, Fed EX, CTA etc? Enough Said.
If the return address on your application envelope contains 60608, 60609 or 60616, your application will get priority processing.
David & Gomez and Assoc., probably once a truck driver for the hired truck scam now a "consulting firm". It can't get any better than this...only in Daley town.

SCC,
You haven't even touched on the officer on trial for hit and run, jesse white's daughters lawsuit and brutality allegations,the Jeffersonian Tap lawsuit,Daley defending OPS and police,the detective who allegedly beat the 11 year old up,or the selection of a new Supt. Too much to keep up, we depend on you, OH GREAT ONE.
Karen, give it a rest. You don't want to spend the rest of your life cooped up in Colorado with an old man, I can understand that. But quit posting that you'd make a great Supt. It certainly won't happen here. I know for a fact that Daley would never read this rag of a blog. You'll just have to apply and suck up like everyone else before you.

Dana Starks, Blah, Blah, Blah
Charles Williams, Blah, Blah, Blah
Hiram Grau, Blah, Blah, Blah

I commend you on a truly outstanding job with the blog but lately it seems that the news media are getting the drop on you.
I hope that you aren't getting overloaded and tired of blogging, you do a FANTASTIC job.
Keep up the Great work....

Speaking of attorneys, are there any that you guys like or respect?

He will do anything to keep his spot and get a better one! he is no stranger to ball licking!! why did his team when he was commander of mayors detail despise him so much? he made them work ot hours for free and if they asked to be paid he replied "You can leave if you don't like it" yes a prick like daley, but at least ALL THE MAYORS GUYS MAKE D-3 even the new guys with no time who had daddy put them on detail! Check out the seniority in unit #542!! The kids are alright!
David Gomez & Associates is a firm that specializes in DIVERSITY, read the material on their website. Guaranteed minority Superintendent, the webiste struck me as almost racist.
Hoooly Shit! Really...check out the website! www.dgai.com/
I second that guarantee of minority replacement. Pandering at its finest from Chicagos finest. The future of the CPD just got a lot darker. Literally.
Karen Rowan will never be superintendent. Her clout is Oscar DeAngelo, a long timer Taylor Street mover and shaker. DeAngelo has been out of favor with Daley for years.
Hope somebody checks, you know this company has GOT to have ties to Daley.
from the gomez website
Gomez's biography:
....He has used his executive search business as a platform to promote talented and qualified Hispanics for senior executive positions... He is frequently featured in national magazines such as Latino Leaders and Dinero...As co-chair of the NAA’s Corporate Board Initiative, he promoted Hispanics for corporate board service. Mr. Gomez recently led some of the nation’s top Hispanic executives to the first......He has received numerous awards....efforts on behalf of Hispanic business.... including Minorities in Business magazine’s “Entrepreneurial Spirit Award” and Hispanic Business magazine’s “Corporate Elite.
WOW ! Like the previous poster said, almost racist in itself.
Do you suppose any candidate besides a hispanic has a chance???
You can always have it hand carried by 001st Dist Sgts
