That must be a mistake, I do not see Adam Z. 1120 or Jeff T 1130.

My bad, one is a certified nut job and the other can not pass a entry level college course.

only 6 from districts, well at least you can make an educated guess they were not merit. I second the post "Jim, Mark, and Sean All three will be great bosses " But I will also add Brent to that list.

Lets talk Merit. 20 names on the list means that 6 people were merit. I don't know for sure who was merit, but we can narrow it down. I know for a fact the following 8 people were NOT merit:

Mark Adduci
Jim Lavoy
Brent Fidler
Sean Loughran
Bill Looney
Karen Konow
Maureen Biggane
Kevin Chambers

That leaves 12 people, but we can narrow the list of suspects to 11 because I've verified that Tony Carothers was merit, just like everyone thought.

Of the following 11 people, 6 were merit:
Duane DeVries
Barbara West
Linda Flores
Daniel Godsel
Osvaldo Valdez
Kevin Hannigan
Errol Davis
Tony Wojick
Carol McLauren
Patricia Casey

Give me a break, Biggane 15yoj, Fidler 10yoj and Loughran 11yoj it's nice to have the test from uncle phil to study! What a joke lets make testing transparent. Eliminate the essay and oral portion too subjective and you never get too see your test answers versus the correct answers.

Why is it every time a promotion list comes out some crybaby has to belittle somebody who just got promoted?

I am a working copper who has no clout, but you know what, who cares! That is the way the cookie crumbles. If someone who knows someone gets promoted, why do you care?

The working police take orders everyday, they answer their calls, do what they are told to do, deal with the incopetent bosses and good bosses.

That is just part of the job. I guess everything is going to change. Daley is going to change everything to save votes. But one thing will never change.

People with juice will always will be taken care of. Shackman or no Shackman, that is the Shitcago way!

Good luck new Lt's I am sure one of you will deny me time due in the near future.

What spot will Sgt Cutie Pie get when Lt. school is over? I figure 2 weeks in 022 and then Commander of Central Investigations. It has an opening and is only across the hall from her last 90 day gig in Vice. Then again they may give that job to Patty Walsh and M.B. can triumphantly return to Area 1 where she spent another harrowing 90 days. It's all gotta be done before Jody arrives.

An Open Letter to The New Supt.

The Rank & File of the CPD are hopeful (but not optimistic) that you will be allowed to operate independent of the historic interference from the various interest groups i.e. the South and West side "reverends" some of whom actually represent the interests of the gangs, as well as interference from the Alderman and City Hall. Rest assured we will know the minute you appoint the 1st Deputy and your top Command staff whether you picked them or whether you bowed to pressure. If it's business as usual you will IMMEDIATELY lose ALL credibility and the Department will go from bad to ridiculous overnight. ITS YOUR CHOICE

If the 19th Ward office gets to pick the 22nd District Commander- WE'LL KNOW


If the current acting Chief of OCD gets to remain anything above the rank of Lt -WE'LL KNOW

The entire Lt's test was based on opinion not G.O.'s or rules ®s, law or anything objective. The only question that there was an objective answer was the robbery question.

Which 3 things would you read at roll call? DIBS,DOC,Daily Bulletin. Not the contact card with the homicide offenders address which was not on any of the other forms.

Anyone who answered that question correctly was given the answer. No cop would bypass giving info out on homicide offender that happened in your district.

THE PROMOTIONAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED/TINKERED WITH FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS PEOPLE!!! wake the fuck up, it didn't just happen yesterday or last week... there is no law enforcement entity free of the influence of politics, that is the reality blue shirts have to deal with. just as there are some very fucked up blueshirts, there will be some very fucked up bosses on this job so do what we've always done, embrace and gravitate toward the bosses who are decent human beings and good managers and hurt the bad ones by letting the entire department know about their decayed asses and all the rotten and illegal shit they pull... if good police officers pull together for once, i'm sure bosses who aren't worth the ink on their paper will wither and die off. in the meantime and for what it's worth, congrats to all and hopefully the new super will insert the tube deeply and stomp the cpd colonic bag really hard...

Wasnt it said before that there were no minorities in the top 100 on the list. So does that mean all the minorities on the least are merit? Did Dana get his people in? Is Shakman going to check out Carothers' qualifications to be a LT? Has the man ever worked the street or made an arrest or has he been riding on Ikes' coat tail all this time.

Lets talk Merit. 20 names on the list means that 6 people were merit. I don't know for sure who was merit, but we can narrow it down. I know for a fact the following 8 people were NOT merit:

Mark Adduci
Jim Lavoy
Brent Fidler
Sean Loughran
Bill Looney
Karen Konow
Maureen Biggane
Kevin Chambers

These four people were merit. Know it for a fact. Anthony Carothers
M/1, Errol Davis M/1, Osvaldo Valdez M/4, Linda Flores F/4. So, at LEAST 4 out of 6 merit promotions went to minorities. That makes up 66% of the merit promotions. Percentage could be higher if we find out who the last two merit people were. This is fair? The city would never dare to make almost 70% of merit promotions white people.

She studied and studied and studied for over a year. 6 weeks before the multiple choice (1st part) she had 2 brain surgeries and continued to study while recovering in hospital. She is dedicated and also a peer counselor. She is fair and compassionate. Her youngest daughter is a special needs child the result from medical malpractice at birth. This daughter who was written off by the same medical world has exceeded all expectations because of Patty and her family. She also got her college completed on the job. She is a strong, independent person who cares. On this job that will only limit her future. She also initiated, orgranized and led detective and sergeant study groups for POs. All the above is easily verifiable. Don't paint her with the same brush as the merit and others who had prior test knowledge.

Why is everyone so angry? I also took the test. Twice as a matter of fact. I honestly thought I aced it, but scored in the 200's. Brent and I got on the job together and made Sergeant together. Neither of us had any clout or any special treatment. As for Adducci, that man studied his ass off for a year. He ate, drank, and slept general orders. I don't think studying any harder would have helped me, because I still believe I answered the questions correctly, however, to take anything away from the Sergeants who were fortunate enough to be promoted is just juvenile. As far as meritorious Sergeants, I'm not a big fan of the whole practice, but since it does exist, why be angry with the Segeants fortunate enough to get a meritorious nomination. I'd certainly rather be promoted based on my score, but I highly doubt any of us would refuse a meritorious nomination. When are we going to grow up and back one another up? No wonder the media draggs us through the coals on a daily basis! We do it to our own!

1120 AZ isnt that bad, just a nut case. Aslong as you know what your doing and dont need him you are fine. 1130 JT is a complete stroke. He will pick on PO's with little or no time on, and than he will find 30 sector guys and stroke there ego just so he has some backup. 1130 will not let his cars answer jobs in other sectors and tells dispatch to hold the jobs. He hides behind his stripes and even off duty her tries to jam up coppers. He tried to pull over another cop while riding in his personal car. When that other PO told him to get bent he wrote the plate down, ran it, found out it was a PO from a southside district, than called the Cpt of said district and wanted that PO sparred. Needless to say the Cpt laughed in his face. This is a guy that was screwing around with his partners women, a truly ball-less man. Its funny cause I will here him call for assist unit and you will see cars turn the other way, we would love to see him get beat like the bitch he is. Oh I know you read this JT and you know who I am in 011, come see me if you have the sack. Trust me he wont, he will go to Cpt Hart and cry. Hahahaha

I don't know their exact scores but I know Wojick and Godsel were were both in the top 20 too, so those 4 were NOT merit.

Merit or not..Wojick is the real police. He was when he worked in 014...that's for sure.

It's only 9 years ago she had a pillow and keys to the USPS yard on her 1st Watch beat in 012. Now she's in IAD and it's all legit. The best part is she was merit and in the first class on all three tests. Now that's juice.

there is no law enforcement entity free of the influence of politics, that is the reality blue shirts have to deal with;

Maybe, but most departments over a thousand sworn don't have merit promotions. Hell, mine is under a hundred sworn and all Sgt., dicks, and lieutenants are strictly by exam. And none of this "taking the test at home" bullshit either.

I grew up in Chicago. CPD back then was six or eight thousand good working cops who I'd roll with anytime, and two or three thousand dirty players who belong in freaking Joliet. Nice to see some things never change.

(Sorry you got an evil little leprachaun midget for a mayor, but that really is life.)

I have to agree, Patty Casey??? What a joke. I worked on scenes as a Detective when she was in patrol and she had no clue. Then she went to Area Five because she is 'nice.' Now she is going to be a Lt. because she was able to take the test at home whith Dillon who helped create the test. This makes me want to puke. If you want someone promoted use Merit, at least its out in the open. But know you are just cheaters and liars. This is the Chicago Police Department and Dillon and who ever is behind her has disgraced us all.

Good luck Patty. Hope you don't get anyone killed with your stupidity. Oh that's right your a nice lady, everything will be fine.

I've got an idea. When ole J.P. "jody" goes to the Academy to become the Police he can take Tony Carothers with him. OOPS!! One problem Tony can't pass the strength test - I'm talking about brain power strength.

Have worked with him over the last few years and found him to be completely incompetent and as lazy a "dog ass" you'll ever find.

As Sean Connery said in the Untouchables "its the Chicago way."

I'm sure Ms. Mitchell will laude the selection of this useless M1 as the second coming.

Wojick has and always will be a working cop. He was a great detective and has done more police work than all you cry babies combined. He has a sterling reputation and will make a great boss. I would work for the man in a heart beat.
I have already asked Santa to return LT. Mark Hawkins of Area 5 to the island of misfit toys (Where he belongs) and bring a real leader like Wojick back to Area 5. Hawkins couldn't carry Wojick's jock strap. Most of the detectives in Area 5 HGS would love to see Hawkins GONE, along with the other misfits who once worked in the "great" Area 4. Funny thing is Dean Andrews, Hawkins, Cerone, Vail, and Holy all came to Area 5 as bosses and NOT ONE detective from Area 4 transferred to Area 5. Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Quite a few misfits on that list. He is M B still banging her boyfriend from the north side or did that stop when she restarted banging her ex hubby, hubby or what ever he is.

This dept is truly headed downhill. I am glad I have only 1 more year left.

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks they want to continue to do police work because you are in alot of trouble.

The continued process of promoting people who dont know what police work is about will come back to haunt the workers in the ass.

Stop working and just take that check on the 1st and the 16th.

and a little info for the media. crime is not going down in the city. its being reclassified to give the illusion of a decrease in crime.

Homicides are death investigations

shooting where noone is hit are now agg assaults.(used to be agg batteries)

burglaries are now thefts in some cases.

Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors.

Minutes of the In-coming Sups questions on promotional exams

Sup - so bosses administer the exams

Boss - no sir we pay good money to an outside agency to do that.

Sup - so they are the only ones with access to it.

Boss - yes sir.

Sup - And they write it and check it for Dept compliance?

Boss - yes and no. They give the sample questions to us to check.

Sup - who's "us"

Boss - about 10-30 top bosses

Sup - so the bosses see what's gonna be on the test.

Boss - no, no sir, the sample question may say Officer Smith is involved in a motor vehivle pursuit, but the test says Officer Jones, see they don't get the final test.

Sup - So they don't get to keep the sample test?

Boss - no way, they have to return it after a couple of days.

Sup - can they make copies?

Boss - Heck no sir, it says no copying allowed, see I got an old one here, but the original says no copying in red.

Sup - Counsel are these minutes from this meeting discoverable , oh they are, officer were not taking minutes of these meetings any more.

Regardless of what we think about merit, who someone's clout is, how much of a street copper a boss is etc., I wish you guys would wake up and see that we are under attack as a whole. The city is trying to take our rights in every capacity, then they give us a 1 - 3 percent raise when inflation goes up a minimum of 3 percent each year. We need to direct our efforts at saving and protecting our own asses, no matter what rank. Pay attention to the other blogs that reflect good information on how we are being targeted, then stand up and do something. Hell, call your Alderman and tell them we need more than a 3 percent raise, I know the last raise they got was in double digits.

Why doesnt Sneed write about how we are made to live in the city, but we cannot afford to live in the descent neighborhoods, so we have to play police at home, our kids are targeted at school and since we work at least 1 part time job, our kids are left to be raised from the phone by most of the fathers on the job.

Come on you guys, we have bigger issues than who got promoted merit whatever and who is sucking and f---ing their way to the top. Everyone knows it, so who gives a shit about what you post here.

________________________________

WHATEVER DUDE ... most of the Dics in A/5 WORKED in Area 5 Dists. Well, let's say every Dic I know of in A/5 came from an A/5 Dist. So, apparently they have not had the same problems you did when you were in patrol. You seem like the odd man out. Were your feelings hurt when your horseshit pinches were rejected? Get over it. You have not got a clue what kind of dics work in A5 ... but I do ... because I've been there for awhile ....ya, someone constantly whines about the Sgts in A/5 on this board... I agree, they should get over it. I thought that would end when Andrews left. Our new boss is better by leaps and bounds. All areas have their good and bad dics. You sound like a goof with 9 year-old information .... goof. Perhaps you worked in the angry and incompetent 025??? The Sgt's mentioned are fine ... there was simply a lot of "favorite" playing on afternoons ... and Dean seemed to act like a little kid and went along with it ... that breeds a whole hell of a lot of discontent in the D unit, especially when the dics 'tested' into the Area and the Sgt's all made phone calls ... and a lot of guys cried about it. They probably had a valid beef but someone kept taking cheapshots on this board .... making us all look bad by airing our dirty laundry... thinking somehow it would 'fix' things. It did not. I think the new boss has made things much better .... a much less cutthroat place to work. I know of very few dics who purposely blow off good pinches in Area 5. I, for one, error on the other side by progressing through cases that have little chance of approval. You probably know 5-10% of the Dics currently working in A/5 ... so move along .... goof.

The funny thing with all these haters is that Sgt. Valdez (soon to be Lt.) was one of the best and knowledgeable sergeants in NAGIS. The officers / agents that didn’t like him are the ones that didn’t do shit but wanted to be treated as if they did. If you were a working officer he left you alone but if you were a dog he got in your ass (as a boss should do.) As for the Agg. Batt that occurred on Sgt. Valdez’s watch, Sgt. Valdez had every angle covered. Maybe other’s who were surveillance that day dropped the ball (not Sgt. Valdez.) Put the blame where it belongs. Sad thing is that even with all these negative post, Sgt. Valdez would still find a way to help a fellow officer out of trouble. Officers have to stop listening to jealous officers and continue to do the job they were hired to do. Stay safe and hug your family each and every time you make it back home. Sgt. Valdez, congrats on a position well deserved. I’m sure you’ll make a great Lt.
