Congrats to all. Some of the meritorious truly deserved it.
A few obviously earned their stripes by the use of their brown noses.

Just returned from Law Enforcemnt Memorial week in D.C. Just a few notes, observations and suggestions..
At the Memeorial 1st Dep Sup J. Jackson, Tina Skahill, Mike Chasen,Dan Dugan..and Com. Alverez from Personell...
J.J. very friendly and talking with all p.os. Skahill friendly but did not mix with anyone...Chasen and Dugan just regular guys...Alvrez only talked to his female "STAFF"....not to impressed typical....couple of LT.,s and a handful of Sgts. small showing of P.O's...but most stayed untill the end to honor the family of our fallen brother and sisters......went to the large party 2 days "TENT CITY" and a couple of bars...everyone had a good time and no problems
that I saw.
Candle light vigil well attended buy CPD once again..
FOP... Dimariara, Sid Davis, Bill Burns there....
President /Vice Presidnet
NO shows Why, I have no ideda...
Suggestions.....If you have not attended please do. Bring your family ....."We" honor our falen with grace and style. Be safe
Once again, out of 22 merit, only 4 from patrol. Same old song & dance!!
CONGRATS to Coach Jesus!!!!
Just be on midnights and ready to coach around August!!
The detective division made a good showing off the list. Just one question. Why no dicks from 630? Did the hair jell in their hands prevent then from turning the pages of the department directives? Or were they too busy buying designer duds for work…
Brown noses or large mouths?
So is someone able to tell me why these people made it meritoriously? So what if they are identified. They would have been figured out anyway by the rank and file.
So what do you have to DO to get meritoriously promoted? That's the million dollar question that JFed can't answer.
I admit I have major reservations with the current Merit process but if Eric Jackson (006) is reflective of those to be selected in the future then I need not have an issue any longer. Eric personifies someone who fits anyone's definition of Merit, qualified, deserving..An outstanding officer and an outstanding person. Congrats Eric and I truly hope we work together again!!!!!!!
Sgt Dennis O'Brien
006
"Once again, out of 22 merit, only 4 from patrol. Same old song & dance!!
5/16/2008 04:34:00 PM"
There are 5, not 4 (006, 008, 014, 019, 021), which may be a reason you're not one of them. Same old song & dance......from the crybabies.
Congrats to all! Be careful while celebrating.
Hold on; I have to get out my FOP book and look up all these fucking units; AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didnt know we had that many inside units!
Once again, watch what Jodi does, not what he says:
Jodi says patrol is the backbone of the Department.
Jodi makes less than 25% of the merits from patrol.
So the real message to everyone in Patrol is that your hard work will NOT be rewarded.
Im to old, dumb and lazy.Im asking one of you young college kids to print out what those numbers stand for next to those promoted. THANKS...
Another Cepeda Merit WTF.
That's 2 bites from the merit tree for this family. There should be a limit.
Congrats to Larry Gade, Art Torres, Ronny Gibbs, Charlie Rhein.... From Greg Insley formerly CPD SWAT, now Call Back Tact Team......
I guess unit 141 had all the answers.
how convvvvent.
off the topic any big shots under the microscope. i heard a little shake up at 35th street. ads shake up. lt. incharge of the dept in question.
Who do i call to get the openings at unit 606??????
Superintendent of Police Jody P. Weis,
You think by listing the meritorious this is transparency? How about this? Next to the meritorious selectee you also list WHO nominated them. Not always as obvious as one would think. Then as a sort of post-meritorious process debriefing - provide a report listing everyone who was nominated, by whom, and then a list of which candidates made it past the panel to YOUR desk? It would be interesting to see who you had to choose from. And it also would be interesting to see who the panel selected. What do you think?
Congrats to all the legit people. The rest of you are just taking a spot you did not earn and will get no respect. For me and many others we look at you like strikers look at scabs.I haved lost out to "merit" in the past. Enjoy your 30 pieces of silver.
Hope they out all the past "merit" ever made at every rank.I notcie a certain detectives name missing who was telling people she made it on her score. Guess she was telling a tall tale and could not take the merit "outing" so she will probably tell everyone she turned it down to save face.

Jesus you are a fuckin' softball. You wanted to know the merit selections and now you do. Stop complaining.
If you look at the rank order numbers you will see that only 22 of them were from patrol; oh gee that's 30% of the entire class - the same as the number of merit selections in total. This must be a conspiracy....I wonder how many were dropped on there heads as children like you were?? Or maybe give us the percentage that were abducted by aliens?? Of the ones who were abducted I bet only the merit ones were probed!
Make a friend and get out of patrol if you don't like it. If you can't make a friend who can get you out of patrol AND you can't score well on the test then maybe just maybe you are the fuckin' problem!!! Maybe you should apply for canine....as the DOG!!!
Jodie,
Nice step in the right direction by posting who is merit.
Now what makes the merits better than 99% of the other patrol officers?
If you really want to make the process legit just tell us why these officers deserved their promotions.
I am willing to listen.
If you don't want to you can just crawl back into your rat hole.
Thanks!
I know some of the Merit officers deserve their promotions.
But what about those that got promoted for the wrong reason?
Post their applications for merit promotion online if you really believe they deserve it. Otherwise, back to business as usual where honor takes a back seat.
Congrats to all the merit pukes! You just stole someone's promotion. Jealous??? Nope, I already made it TWICE on my own.
oh my lord they posted the merits! Good for you guys, wish it was me! Now... How can i get into one of those secret study groups??
SO WHO GOT CLOUT AND WHO DOES ON THE MERIT SIDE.
WHO HAS UNDER FIVE YEARS!
WHO ARE THE HOUSE MOUSES THAT WERE JUST MOVED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY CAME FROM A UNIT?
Hi Everyone,
I am your leader and I want you to all listen up.
I want you to be aggressive while you are out on patrol and make me look good by bringing crime down. I will take care of you.
Please, please ignore the fact I will only meritoriously promote a few of you from patrol...and then only when I have to.
Have a good day!
The fetid stench from the 5th floor at 35th street is beginning to lift.
However, only when the sunlight of a FULLY transparent merit process is in place would the air up there be fit for an honorable man to breath.
That is all.
NOW . . If the city would only name all the merits since August of 1998.
Merit? As long as there is "merit" there is no such thing as ELITE. Ever heard fo "merit" Special Forces or Navy SEALS?
CPD SWAT?
We need leaders, not bosses.
Leadership--the art of influencing men/women in such a way as to obtain their loyalty, cooperation, respect and confidence.
Thank you . Be safe and back each other up.
This makes it twice I have not made meritorious Sergeant. Both times I never asked to be put in. Each time I was approached by my commander and was told that I was submitted as a candidate because of job performance. I am honored to be thought of in such a high regard by a commander of police. But unfortunately I don’t have a “phone call.” If it is ever suggested that I should be put in again my response would be a definite yes. You never know… it might become legit! Luckily with this class I am now in the very low 200’s on the list. I know… why take a merit spot when it looks like I’ll make it anyway. For one, who knows what J-Fed plans to do with the list, and secondly, the extra $$$ would really help…
Good luck to all the new sgts… It’s going to be a long, hot summer and guess who is going to get all the shit jobs!
Phil Donahue is a CERAMONIAL JAGOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOOKS LIKE THE MERIT OLD FARTS GET THERE CHANCE TO MOTIVATE P O 'S IN THE DISTRICT........LOL............
IF SWAT LOST 4 DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S 4 OPENINGS?????? RETEST????
I SEE PATROL IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T BLAME THE BOSS WHEN ALL WE DO IS ANSWER CALLS...AND CREATE BACK LOGS
NARCOTICS DID REALLY WELL W/4
BUY BUST TEAMS MUST MEAN ALOT TO THE BOSS................ I GUESS EVERYTHING ELSE IS SH*T
BUYING DOPE GETS YOU PLACES..............
Hello, over 20 years on and I'm also in the low 200's and so far 37merits jumped ahead of me. By the time they get to my number, approximately 60 merits will go ahead of me. I would like to get promoted, put my time in and retire but it is a continuous waiting game to appease those who don't test well (i.e. clouted).
Yes... I make arrests, have no clout, and made dic years ago on my score.
Congrats and good coppers in my book-
001 McKee, Luke
141 Gade Jr., Larry
253 Losik, Rick
650 Lamperis, Jimmy
A few legends in their own minds I see also.
same old shit 4 merit from patrol. We were told merit would come from patrol as a reward for hard work. Guess not only words, lots of talk no action. Rule 14 the bosses that said things would change.
4 merit from patrol that will help MORALE.
Thanks Boss
Want to be a Sgt ? Get out of patrol division.
Congrats to the list people, if u didn't have the test ahead of time. To the merits, good for u, but now 'splain to me what u did to deserve it? And now that I know who the merits r, please do not dictate any thing to me, as I only saw 1 name on that list that I know could possibly deserve it, but I still would like to know WHO put the person in for the "merit" spot.
Congratulations to those deserving ....
Homicides stats just released. Homicides up 9%, violent crimes up 6%. J-Fraud giving them smoke/mirrors over at the Tribs forum. At least the comments for the most part are pro-police. J-Fraud and Daley are finally being seen for what they are: incompetent.
Congratulations Eric, you truly deserve the promotion. Thanks for having my back. You truly are "THE POLICE." You will be impossible to replace.
Blondie
I hate to be a stickler, but 16 ETs were also made on Friday. Where's the merit list for those five spots?
Now tell me what the merits did to deserve a "merit" promotion. Call me a crybaby, but I still don't get why they deserve/earned it. I am not even on the list, but what exactly did they do to bump the people on the list? To the legit people, congratulations, just don't forget where u came from, and don't drink the koolaid!, especially when they give u all the lecture about the blue shirt not being your friend!
STILL ABSOLUTELY NOT A CLUE WHAT MERIT ENTAILS EXCEPT A PHONE CALL!!!
Come on Supt. do some of these merit picks even know how to fill out a case report? Have they ever caught a guy with a gun? Been on a shooting scene? Fought with a real bad guy, get the guy in custody and then end up in the hospital because you did your job and got hurt doing it.
We don't need a merit list!
WE NEED MERIT QUALIFICATIONS!!!
The police and citizens should know the qualifications of Police supervisors.
Example: 10 years on job, 500 arrests (not 500 drinkers), search warrants, tact experience, med roll history (legit or not), discipline history. Education/military experience. Real tangible things that a person can look at!!!
AN INDEPENDENT MERIT REVIEW PANEL TO FORWARD NAMES OF QUALIFIED OFFICERS FOR PROMOTION!!!
NO CLOUT, NO PHONE CALL, NO PATRONAGE!!!
WOW, the female merit from the detective division is a shocker. NOT! It is amazing how Weis can call Merit transparent yet the romantic interest of Deputy Sup. Steve Peterson's Administartive LT. M. Staples get made. Unreal.
CMON GUYS UNIT 189!!!
U EVER NOTICE THAT NO OPENING ARE EVER POSTED FOR THAT UNIT.
IF YOU CAN GET IN THAT UNIT YOU KNOW SOMEONE.
IF U KNOW SOMEONE U CAN ASK TO BE PROMOTED TO DICK,SGT,ET,MOUNTED UNIT ,BOMB TECH, AND DOGGY HANDLER.
IF YOU DONT THE COMMANDER WILL LIE TO YOU. HERE AN EXAMPLE MANY MOONS BACK CUELLO WAS IN CHARGE OF TEN.
MANY KISS ASSES BEGGED FOR HER TO PUT THEM IN FOR DICK. SHE PROMISED FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE A SHOT AND HAD THEM FILL OUT BULLSHIT PAPERWORK.
THE SAD PART FOR THE NUMBSKULLS IS SHE ONLY HAD AUTHORITY TO PUT IN 2 PEOPLE. NOW DONT FORGET HER HUBBY A LT. AND B@A BACK THEN HAS JUICE WITH A CERTAIN SOUTH SIDE DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION. THE PICK WERE NOT BEA TO GIVE!
REMEMBER THAT THE DEPARTMENT WANTED BOSSES TO PICK PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR THEM. THE ALDERMAN WERE CALLING IN FAVOR AND THE COMMANDER PUT PEOPLE THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF IN FOR PROMOTIONS.
THATS WHY THEY WANT IT SECRET!!!
AS YOU CAN SEE BEA IS SECOND IN CHARGE NOW AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HER HUBBY!

They supposedly didn't make any meritoriously for this last class. Likely true since they didn't do merit last year either (everyone was off the list.)

abc 20/20 had a piece on coppers drinking at Dugan's bar, on hidden cameras. The drinks were counted and the guys were vieotaped leaving and getting into thier vehicles, and then followed. We are under the microscope and Big Brother is alive and well in Chicago, so watch out for each other and be safe.
LOCKS OF THUNDER!!!!!!!
Congrats!!!
Who's the new Sgt.thats been fired from two other departments before Chicago hired him? Heres some hints he's beaten some serious(and bona fide)money beefs.He's overcome some serious (and bona fide)wife beating and girlfriend beating beefs.He's gotten bullshit CR's on decent bosses,and then beat a female PO into the hospital(and a nice lawsuit settlement against the city).I can't wait to see this punk in a white shirt....I can't believe he's not in an orange jumpsuit.
Dets Alderden and Winstrom from 610, not merit just good class guys. Congrats guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are 5, not 4 (006, 008, 014, 019, 021), which may be a reason you're not one of them. Same old song & dance......from the crybabies.
5/16/2008 05:28:00 PM
GFY, MERIT JACK-ASS!! I made it 12 years ago. LEGIT!!
I guess unit 141 had all the answers.
how convvvvent.
No, the 141 guys just skipped public school. That is why they can spell AND pass a test.
Oh, by the way 141 is now 2 units combined. Otherwise I believe only one from 141 was merit and two were rank order.

WOW, 5 out of 22...that's MUCH better! Sounds to me like you're one of the merit hacks who doesn't have the smarts to make it on your own and instead took a spot from someone who EARNED it!!
You are a HAND-JOB!

5/16/2008 09:15:00 PM
you dumb motherfucker there was 18 and all of the list no merit.
get a fuckin life bitch
Low 200's as well...but I see some quality merit selections. I would really like to know the first Sergeant class list of merit selections. If I saw the same qualitiies in those picks, I would have no further concerns with the process...even it if it costs me at least a class (or two) via the list.
On a side note, does anybody know how many sergeants the Department is down? I heard the number was 340 prior to the current promotions, but am sure someone here probably has a way to verify this information.
You'll notice that prior to the list coming out, many on BOTH lists just happened to transfer or be tranfered from one cush spot to a 1/2 decent working unit.
Do the fucking math people.
Don't believe that? Look into it, and you'll see for yourself.
It's not the Merit process that's a joke, it's the whole fucking Detective, Sgt, and Lt's exams.
Why not hold one like the Major Accident Investigator Exam and process. NOW THAT'S A NO BULLSHIT, EXAM THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ON THE "UP & UP" AND DIDNT TAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CREATE.
But No, lets keep waisting Millions, upon Millions on some fucking "outside test giver" to generate some bullshit "Fixed" fucking exams that leave even the smartest Joe to have a hard time believing that it's actually fair.
I know two people on the merit list. One definately deserved it (shooting). I do not think all of the merit promotions are bad....something just needs to be done to define what their "Merit" was.
Merit as difined by Princeton:
(wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)
Any admirable quality or attribute; "work of great merit"
deservingness: the quality of being deserving (e.g., deserving assistance); "there were many children whose deservingness he recognized and rewarded"
deserve: be worthy or deserving; "You deserve a promotion after all the hard work you have done"
Now if they were truly "MERIT" promotions there should be NO SHAME in showing all coppers exactly what their "MERIT" was. In fact I say they should be proud of their "MERIT" promotion if it was earned. So why not put-up and we will shut-up if it's legit.
Another Cepeda Merit WTF.
That's 2 bites from the merit tree for this family. There should be a limit.
5/16/2008 06:07:00 PM
I guess it helps when you worked with Cuello back in the day.
Eric Jackson is probably the most qualified merit I see. I worked with him on occaision while in another district. He knows his stuff and will make a good sgt. Good luck.
Congratulations to all the former members of the High Risk Entry Team!!!!!!!
PS Melinda, did you pass the bar?
There was no merit for ET class it was right off the list. I checked
I am impressed with the merit list! Don't know all of them but the ones I do know are great cops and well deserving. Good people on the list who made it by score too. Good luck to all new sgts.
I personally don't think any of the "merit" picks deserve it. Those who are for "merit" forget one big problem: THEY TOOK A SPOT FROM SOMEONE WHO EARNED IT!! 30% is an outrageous percentage to meritoriously promote. I'm fortunate I made it off the 1993 test which had NO merit. Had there been merit, I most likely would not have made it. About 410 Sgt's were made from this test. If there had been 30% merit, that would be 120+ made meritoriously!! That is asinine!
Congratulations to those who made it LEGIT!
1st: J-Fed didn't pick the merit spots. The exempts did. 2nd: Patrol is the backbone of the department, but most people at some time in their career get out of the district and into a unit. I know narcotics.gang intel, etc. are all spots that you need a phone call o be in, (that I never was, but the D unit is testable unless you are a p.o. assigned. Lots from the D-Unit. If you do well on one test, you are likely to do OK on the others. Worked for me...
Nice Job Art Torress! (your pall from UIC and 99-9D)
20/20 story aired tonight.
Definate dead wood Clout-babies on that Merit List, by the way, for the thousanth time, EXACTLY HOW do the powers to be define Merit?
Congrats to all! Dont matter how you got there, you got there - for those of you that havent been the real police yet , now's the time to step up to the plate. Merit isnt a pass for being lazy. Be safe
Congrats--Joe Bird---Your going to be a great sergeant!!
Thanks J Fed nice to see that the backbone of the department got 4 merit picks. The rest all from spots and units. You sure are a maverick and really revamped the process. Is that merit Cepeda the brother of the other merit Cepeda wow things sure are different now.
I wanna know how many contact cards i have to punch into iCLEAR before some one makes me a meritorious p.o. Carpel Tunnel is setting in and i want to get on the job before i get arthritis.
Signed,
Some B.S Cadet
We want to know merit!! OK now you know. Quit crying!!!!!!
Coppers are never satisfied. Big surprise. ....and by the way, you are your own worst enemy. Why should the reason be posted. Because you want it? Guess what? Make rank and maybe if promoted high enough, you can sit on the merit board and decide who gets promoted. Unitl then....SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!
I'd like to clarify something once and for all:
There are 25 Districts
There are 99 Units
Hence the appropriate balance of more people being promoted from units than patrol.
No more whining. Thank you, that is all.
I made detective merit and I felt I earned it, you know, more than 17 years on the job blue star award of valor alot of arrests oh and zero days on the medical. I am glad my name was not released but if you ask me I will tell you.
You police make me sick it will never be enough for some of you, so go back to your car and do nothing. Do nothing like 90 percent of this job, you 90 percent make me want to puke and oh yea fuck you.
congrats to kearns 025,always a good working copper willing to help other p.o.'s out.Don't let the stripes change you brother!!!
Congrats, Tommy Ryan!
Simple solution to the so called merit problem:
No one could have more than one merit promotion.
The officer would have had to be in his/her rank and asignment for a minimum of five years before being considered for a merit promotion.
A precise explanation should be published explaining the reasons for the merit promotion.
No office, desk, or any inside personnel could be considered for a merit promotion.
Problem fixed! See how easy it is if your honest? But I forgot, this is little dick Daley's Chicago so none of the abve will never happen.
SCC = Yellow journalism. You repeatedly called for the Sup to print the merit list. He prints it and you don't even acknowledge it. Typical of your cowardly style.
Regarding the sgt list,
I'd like to say that it's been almost 2 years now since the 2nd part of the test (june 24, 2006) and only 125 sgt's have been made. That's it. And out of that only 88 off the list.
One of the major incentives that drives people to work (public and private sector) is the hope of one day being promoted and advancement in thier career. That's what makes a lot of people work harder and study more and try to do the right thing. But, by only making 125 sgts in 2 years, what kind of message is that sending to everyone. You almost have no chance of making rank and moving forward in your career.
If, as j-fed states, we have 13,500 p.o.'s, then your chance of actually making sgt right now is around .0092% and making it LEGIT off the list is around .0065%. That just really makes you want to study for the next one doesn't it. I think that you've got to go deeper into these lists, like up to 500-700 OFF THE LIST, so people can really feel like they have a chance to make it and really give these tests thier all. Right now after 2 years only 88 p.o.'s have been made sgt off the list. It just makes you feel like studying for these tests is a complete waste of time.
Congrats to Joe Bird. You definately deserve this. Remember to keep an eye out in 22 still though, it needs you.
For what it's worth,and this does'nt pertain to Patrol (no disrespect intended).But congrats to Dave Grant.I know the dicks and Asa's would appreciate this,but neither one of you will give him credit for it.
All of your up to date photos and videos of crime scenes,you can thank Ptlmn Dave Grant for developing the process that got you the quality photos,you required.When you wanted them.
He may have not made 1,000 felony arrests a period,but he worked out a system,and perfected it,on his own,so that the Dicks and Asa's had instant access to crime scene photos.
Just call me a fan!One of the very few merits I've seen that deserved it.
Congrats Brian Schnier of 017!!!!
I through for sure that Steve Peterson would make sure Homan Square (narcotics-unit 189) was not "over represented" in the merit showing. Considering 4 out of the 22 merit were from narcotics alone suggests some things will never change.
Hey Steve and aunt bea, what about patrol.
I for one feel it should be public knowledge for all to see who every nomination was and who the exempt that sponsored was. It doesn't matter if they got the nod or not, I wanna see who my boss puts in. I mean if the hack that I call a commander is putting in people from Homan square or someother HQ spot I wanna know Im wasting my time trying to impress him. Just another reason to realize this place is a joke.
tommy ryan from 008... good for you.. from what I hear you are a great policeman and you come from a great family. You will make a great sgt. and im sure you will succede. you will be missed in 008.. you were a great worker and im sure you will treat your people well where ever you go.. from a former s. side mt. greenwood giants/reds teamate... good luck tommy
So is someone able to tell me why these people made it meritoriously? So what if they are identified. They would have been figured out anyway by the rank and file.
So what do you have to DO to get meritoriously promoted? That's the million dollar question that JFed can't answer.
ATLEAST IT'S A START..........EVEN IF THEY EXPLAINED IT TO US 75% WOULD STILL BITCH......IT'S SIMPLE, STUDY HARDER..AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.....
Nice step in the right direction by posting who is merit.
Now what makes the merits better than 99% of the other patrol officers
they don't bitch on the blog loser!
Congrats and good coppers in my book-
001 McKee, Luke
141 Gade Jr., Larry

If this is the Tim Wolf I know then good. He's a good copper
Congrats to Eric Jackson. EJ, you will be missed in 006. What will BLONDIE do without you? Who will become her new backup on the "dynamic duo" car 606A on 2nd watch? I would have to concur with Sgt. OBie, you are a great pick for Sgt., and you'll do well wherever you are sent. Continue to make us all proud.
NOTE TO BLONDIE:
1) Quit smoking! :)
2) Time for you to consider moving up also (Det. or Sgt.)...you've done an outstanding job out there as well.
One of the Merit picks is a Rev. check 021.

No they made 18 ETs, the list is hard to get, let alone, see the Merit picks. Same old stuff.
I DONT HAVE A PHONE CALL, WONT MAKE SGT. I'LL JUST READ MY PAPER AND BACK UP OTHER OFFICERS. PUT IN 7 HOURS AND GO HOME. NOTHING MORE
MERIT WHAT A JOKE, end this shit at once if you want to improve anything.
I'll NEVER TAKE MERIT. These people who are merit should read the bible. It might look as if they are getting what they want, but there is a price to pay for all this!
Two things, everyone beefing about not enough people from patrol, remember the folks made from units came from patrol, we all have. So give them some credit.The other thing, everyone talking about those that made it "legit," give me a break,I was never accepted into one of the few select chosen "study" groups where practically all make it in the first couple of classes "legit." So take your "legit" list and blow it out of your ass. In hindsight, some of the meritorious folks may have been someone that could not get invited to a "study" group and knocked some "legit" person out of the box. Lets think before we talk folks, those of you around long enough understand where I'm coming from. That is all. Be safe out there.
I say congrats to all those who made it. In a couple years if they don't take the list down my name will be on it by score. Thats a big maybe by the way.
I have to say this. I know 4 of the officers who made it by score. I wouldn't take an order from any of them. The 4 of them have the street smarts of a beheaded monk combined.
The only merit I know was dumped from teams for lack of activity and having the personality of a prune. Thats pretty sad. I can say I have more education,awards,and activity than this merit hack. That shows me the juice was loose.
Shame on J-Fraud!!!! This can only put morale a little lower.
wheres the e.t list?
Congratulations to the legitimate officers. To the illegitimate dummy merits that can’t pass a test- you will get no respect from me! You cheated and skipped to the head of the line.
Whats the word on the Lt's test?
Anonymous said...
same old shit 4 merit from patrol. We were told merit would come from patrol as a reward for hard work. Guess not only words, lots of talk no action. Rule 14 the bosses that said things would change.
5/16/2008 08:46:00 PM
I have it from a good source that merit picks might possible be based on politics. This system has been in place for 100 years and PO's continue to complain. Ever notice the pattern? One month before the list is out, merit picks move back into patrol then are promoted. Patrol is on the bottom and not one will protect officers working in a beat car. Incompetent watch commanders, useless LTS, and hard to find sgts. Inspectors writing every possible violation, car cameras and not time off. To acheive success, leave patrol.
Dear SCC,
I'm curious... Merit is a very sensitive issue in the dept. I'm amazed there are only 50 postings. Are you simply running behind on updating the postings or are there only 50 people interested in the subject?
How about sorting all the promotions by ward? Several names look familiar from the 11th and the 19th wards. Just a thought. Inspector General's website lists them that way.
IF SWAT LOST 4 DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S 4 OPENINGS?????? RETEST????
---------------
would be nice but there are still 12 or 13 guys that went through SWAT school off the last test that are on a waiting list. If it the spots wouldnt have come up so soon after the selection process, there probably wouldve been a retest. Probably gonna be a retest before the list gets to the bottom though.
wow. the list is posted with the merit picks and there are still people bitching and moaning. we all know that there is a 30% merit rate on promotional tests. its been that way for ages, and often times, its used properly. I only know two of the merit picks personally and one of them truly deserves it and will make a great supervisor to work for. too many people want to bitch about what theyre not getting, not realizing its that attitude thats keeping them right where they are!
Taking a merit spot while you are low enough on the list to make it on your own is the best possible thing you can do.
Why is the merit list public ?... What did I miss ... OK let the ball-busting commence, but seriously ..... what did i miss????
Congrats to all the future SGT's from A/5 ....
I am proud to say they all made it off the list .... way to go ....
would any true leader that is true to honor take a merit promotion while someone with a higher score got left behind. a true leader would refuse and try harder next time. .
What is the difference between narcotics and every other unit in the CPD??
If narcotics fails to make an arrest no one notices .... evry arrest they make is simply icing on the cake ....while every other unit is under at least a little pressure.
This is not a drive-by swipe at narcotics guys. There are some PHENOMINAL officers in that unit ... but it truly is a completely different job. You get a legitmate guy in patrol and you can't brow-beat and guilt him for info like the dolt druggie. That's fine if the th dept. wants to give what 3 or 4 of you merit spots. But because you make drug arrests does NOT translate into district arrests.
OK ..that was a shot at narcotics guys ....
the guy from 008 was a secretary.....fukn unreal
Superintendent of Police Jody P. Weis,
You think by listing the meritorious this is transparency? How about this? Next to the meritorious selectee you also list WHO nominated them. Not always as obvious as one would think. Then as a sort of post-meritorious process debriefing - provide a report listing everyone who was nominated, by whom, and then a list of which candidates made it past the panel to YOUR desk? It would be interesting to see who you had to choose from. And it also would be interesting to see who the panel selected. What do you think?
Still fucking crying. Jesus. You people never stop. Here, a good change has been made, merit has been identified for the first time since when!?!? Shut the fuck up already....And for those of you who now want to know how these people qualified for merit, go FUCKING ask them! You have their info you spineless globs of jelly. Shirley you won't (and stop calling me shirley). Will your fucking whining ever cease? Embarrassing and pathetic.
And, this just in, for those of you still clueless as to why merit people get made....THEY FREAKIN' KNOW SOMEONE YOU DOUCHE BAGS!!!!
Make a friend and get out of patrol if you don't like it. If you can't make a friend who can get you out of patrol AND you can't score well on the test then maybe just maybe you are the fuckin' problem!!! Maybe you should apply for canine....as the DOG!!!
5/16/2008 06:41:00 PM
THAT would be fantastic! Free room and board, I can make all kinds of noise, be carted about town, shit on the floor in the station, and not get sued when I pounce on a bad guy... plus, I won't need a search warrant to tear up someones house... oh man, sign me up! WOOF!
Another Cepeda Merit WTF.
That's 2 bites from the merit tree for this family. There should be a limit.
5/16/2008 06:07:00 PM
Yeah but you have to admit that this one is deserving of it. Good luck Tom, you will do just fine. Just try and emulate some of those good sergeants that you worked for back in 010.
I can't believe everybody missed the BIG PICTURE!!!
Each Exempt was only allowed "1" submission for Merit. Deputy Sups none.
Why is it that the following Units had more that 1 merit?
141 - 3
189 - 4
193 - 2
606 – 4
That my friend's is the Question that needs to be asked.
Looks like some hanky panky or serious favors called in.
Stay Thirsty My Friends.
J-Fed, do you have an answer???
5 merit selections from patrol. Only one person who works a beat car. NO FTOs. Gee so much for merit!
Its all a matter of suction.

Please somebody tell me what those 22 people did that i don't do everyday!! You merit pukes. Especially all those coming from units. You f*cks just sit around all day while we handle the real police work. It's disgusting and disheartning.
Along with publishing the names of the merit, they've got to let us know what they did to DESERVE the merit slot. You get shot, etc., then ok, you definitely deserve it. But what the f*ck qualifies these people to jump over people off the list that studied thier asses off for the test.
Maybe we can get our own "qualifications" going on here. Whoever knows these merit guys, lets take each one and analyze why they made sgt on merit or why they shouldn't have. This merit system is broke, lets expose these people for who they are (or who they know)!!
I must say whoever gets to work for Eric Jackson will have the time of their life. Congatulations Eric and Thanks for keeping the 006th district full of life.
This is the merit list. If you don't like it then go to benfits, network with brass and write a parker or two to make your watch commander happy and stop f'n complain'. This is no different than promotions and hirings in the corporate world so STFU.
Congrats to Eric "George Jefferson", I can honestly say you deserve it! You are THE POLICE AND YOU DO IT THE RIGHT WAY!!!!! It was a pleasure working on the team with you and "Powder". Congrats Trod and Renee! It was a pleasure working with you both as well. It will be a battle for shortest guy in class between Trod and Eric.

This makes it twice I have not made meritorious Sergeant. Both times I never asked to be put in. Each time I was approached by my commander and was told that I was submitted as a candidate because of job performance. I am honored to be thought of in such a high regard by a commander of police. But unfortunately I don’t have a “phone call.” If it is ever suggested that I should be put in again my response would be a definite yes. You never know… it might become legit! Luckily with this class I am now in the very low 200’s on the list. I know… why take a merit spot when it looks like I’ll make it anyway. For one, who knows what J-Fed plans to do with the list, and secondly, the extra $$$ would really help…
Good luck to all the new sgts… It’s going to be a long, hot summer and guess who is going to get all the shit jobs!

God Bless!!!
Congrats John, just hope that they don't toss ya back into 003.
Listing the merit picks is like identifying a person with a contagious disease.
The only cure is to get rid of merit or list the reasons in which they were selected.
Here is my problem. I know many of the names on the list, some very deserving, others eh not bad and others just a joke. Now that being said i do notice that 90% of the meritorious are from units and such, which truly is a joke although they will probably end up going back to cushy spots again as they obviously have phone calls. The ones that made it by score AND dont have a phone call will end up on midnights in 3,4, 5,6 7 8 11 15 etc. All shit spots. I wish all the sgts best of luck, just remember you wore blue before u got that white shirt. They will try to brainwash you with how you are now management and its your job to not agree with a blue shirt. And to the guy who said that if u want to make sgt, get out of patrol--- while that sounds great AND true we need a phone call to do THAT too. So dont think because you have a phone call that u are better than the rest of us. Someday your call may disappear and then what? You will be one lonely jagoff. As for the guys that have a phone call, I dont hate you, if I had one i would use it too!! So more power to you. I only ask that you dont be a stone cold jagoff or arrogant prick, we have enough of those!
Congrats to Jose Tirado, a well deserved promotion brother. Good luck and take care of your troops when you hit the streets. Show them you're not scared to stand up for them.
congrats anthony DUMbroskie you will be missed.
SCC = Yellow journalism. You repeatedly called for the Sup to print the merit list. He prints it and you don't even acknowledge it. Typical of your cowardly style.
Listen here bitch, we posted it. Isn't that acknowledging it?
We said in two different postings that it's all well and good if they release the "merit" qualifications. Isn't that acknowledging it?
We have always advocated lifting the "merit" curtain so everyone could have a goal to strive for.
We get a peek after how many years and what do you expect? Bells? Whistles? A fucking parade?
Up yours asshat. Better swap over your underwear - your yellow stripe is blending into the brown one
That list is a joke. How many friggin' units does this dept. have?
The Keesing Bandit says---
"...patrol is the backbone of the department..."
However, we are treated like a part of the anatomy a few inches lower.
Now, kees me you fool!!!
Jodi says patrol is the backbone of the Department.
5/16/2008 05:53:00 PM
Patrol is the armpit of the Department
WAAAAA!! I didnt make sgt! WAAAAA!! U idiots need to grow up, how long have you been the police and seen this?
Why so few from patrol you ask? Clout! Those who have clout get out of patrol as soon as possible. Then they are taken care of for the rest of their careers.
I through for sure that Steve Peterson would make sure Homan Square (narcotics-unit 189) was not "over represented" in the merit showing. Considering 4 out of the 22 merit were from narcotics alone suggests some things will never change.
Tell you what. Put on some nasty clothes without a gun, star, vest, or a partner and go walk through the ghetto in an area that is infested with violence and walk up to some gang bangers in the street and convince them you are not the police. Have you ever done that? Try and get them to sell you drugs after they take you into a unlit building. Once you are in that building maybe you will be confronted with an armed drug dealer security who is threatening to shoot you and take your money. Maybe they will sell you drugs but make you stick the drugs in your mouth before you can leave. I wont tell you where the drug dealers keep the drugs that they are forcing you to put in your mouth. Maybe you will be sitting in a car with two dope dealers to make a deal and end up in a choke hold with two guns pointed at you. Before you develop your clever response stop and think about what these officers do. These are real situations that these officers have encountered. I will never discount patrol as deserving officers, but these units earn their keep as well. Good luck to all of you.

Typical. People who are/never where the police make rank. Get used to it.
Look: cameras in cars, settlements, and missions and useless G.Os. Would the real police invent this garbage
Jimmy L, Congrats !
Hey 3:36, stop working to impress your Commander, how about a little self pride in the job you do. Try that and you may be noticed, Suck ass!
Not 1 FTO? Is that correct?
I personally don't think any of the "merit" picks deserve it. Those who are for "merit" forget one big problem: THEY TOOK A SPOT FROM SOMEONE WHO EARNED IT!! Blah...Blah...Blah
Merit has a purpose.
I would rather see a hard working officer like Ron Gibbs make it off of the merit list than see a seven year wonder make it by just being a good test taker and never making an arrest nor taking on leadership role.
Merit has a purpose when politics is excluded.
Hi J-Fed, I don't test well, can I be promoted now?
Hey, where is my name? Oops, got to wait my turn, those 37 merits jumped over me.
the guy from 008 was a secretary.....fukn unreal
5/17/2008 10:43:00 AM
don't know a lot about him other than that he was shot in the line of duty, that was always a way to a promotion...
So what do you have to DO to get meritoriously promoted?
##################################
Ans: go to Homan Square and work narcotics or 606. Those from 606 were either from Cold Case or Fugitive (no one from Financial Crimes).
Out of the merit Sgts, who were also made merit dic? Anyone know who got the two merit bites???
from the 10;55 post...."but most people at some time in their career get out of the district and into a unit..."
What Department do you work for???
For the new Sgts you are on probation for six months after your are sworn. The heat will be on you guys and gals that made it off the list to shape up the troops and try to motivate. Merit picks will all be placed in cushy spots and will have no presure on them. So be careful the department can will will get rid of you if you make any majors msitakes. Stay loyal to your POs they are the back bone of this department. Good luck to all of you Sgts. Remember watch out for your POs especially the newer ones and treat them the way you would have wanted to be treated when you first started.

This job has truly gone to the dogs and you will soon see the job from the other side of the window....you will be shocked when you see what happens and how these police officers act....and you will be in charge of them and responsible for their actions....Unfortunately you'll see.....but still Good Luck and like I said..enjoy the raise...that's about all that is good with the position...
Nice step in the right direction by posting who is merit.
Now what makes the merits better than 99% of the other patrol officers
they don't bitch on the blog loser!
5/17/2008 04:21:00 AM
OF COURSE they don't bitch!! They were handed a promotion and took a promotion away from someone who did well on the test and was passed over! Get your head outta your ass!
I'd like to clarify something once and for all:
There are 25 Districts
There are 99 Units
Hence the appropriate balance of more people being promoted from units than patrol.
No more whining. Thank you, that is all.
5/16/2008 11:55:00 PM
Appropriate balance??? To get the true number, compare the amount of Officers in patrol in contrast to those in units and you'll find a MAJOR discrepancy in the percentages!! Your logic defies logic!!
WHAT WAS MORE LARRY G'S SCORE OR HIS HEIGHT IN INCHES??
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Neither, it's HIS PAY RAISE!! Congrats Lar, from one little guy to another.
-----Mini me
I've been told that the C.F.D. has a clause in their contract that states for as many merit selections there an equal number must be taken from the list.
Ex.) 100 promotions....30 of which are merit, then the C.F.D. must take an additional 30 off the list so that those who would have passed based on their score don't get cheated. Anyone know if this is true? If so why don't we demand that too. Hell, even if it's not in the C.F.D. contract it sounded like a great idea to me!
Congratulations to all our SWAT Operators who made SGT. We are proud of you!!! Remember where you came from and continue your hard work in training and fitness. You were part of the sword and shield on our team and we will miss you.
Strength and Honor!!!!!
Out of the merit Sgts, who were also made merit dic? Anyone know who got the two merit bites???
I would bet the cepeda's have ahd more then one bite. Dont forgot that his wife is also a merit sergeant-they were partners back in the day. He will be around just long enought to suck another 10G a year out of the pension WATCH.

As a Sgt who made it before meritorious and then got passed over as Lieutenant because of meritorious there is no justification for the meritorious promotion.You see what all you assholes who justify meritorious forget is that for every meritorious asshole a deserving person on the list who scored better got passed over. There can never be no justification to pass over a person who scored higher otherwise why even bother with a test? I remember working S.N.I.P. many years ago probably before you were on the job and let me tell you nothing I did or anybody else did in Narcotics made me or them any more deserving of a merit promotion than any other working police officer. As a matter of fact the standing joke in Narcotics at the time was getting overtime and never working an 8 hour day let alone a weekend. When there were promotions before meritorious especially when there were the big classes of like 250 Sgts many came from Patrol. So jagoff take your justification for the meritorious promotion and stick it up your ass because coming from Narcotics does not make you anymore deserving than any other hard working PO. Before we had all this bullshit and all these bullshit units with all you cry baby new guys when Sgts got promoted they did so by scoring well on a test. Now maybe some were taken care of by their clout but the majority scored well which is the real actual fair way to promote. Back then Sgts were listened to and the rank was respected not like now. All I can tell you is that nobody "deserves" a merit promotion over anybody else. Wish a little jagoff like you would come work for me but I'm sure a straight days weekends off unit 189 "I deserve meritorious" pussy like you couldn't handle midnights in the ghetto.
Now somebody explain the obvious bullshit about only one meritorious pick per unit or district.
I personally know all the merits from the detective divisions and they are all the real po-leece. TOP NOTCH.
If you don't know them or never worked with them, don't knock them.
You will be lucky to have them in your district.
Congrats to Brian Schnier of 017, a great guy who will make a great boss.
Jackson, Lewis, Mendoza: Class acts all, what "merit" should be all about. Congratulations! Bielecki and Roman? Weis was asleep at the wheel. God save the Chicago Police Department! Politics still plays a HUGE role!
god im so tired about people in patrol bitching about people in units.. im in a district and i cant even stand it anymore. everyone in patrol who didnt make sgt quit your complaining. for gods sakes.. you work for the cpd, dont get bent out of shape because you didnt make it. there is a reason you didnt make it as a sgt or in a unit. most of the guys in units are good guys or were workers, even i know that. so quit your bitching.. no one cares that youve been in patrol for 20 years and have been passed over... im sure you scored ok but not great on the test but have done nothing on the street and know nothing about police work. go cry to your mommies you idiots..

Right.
8,000 in patrol
1,000 in units
knuckle-licker
What a bunch of fucking babies, you don't like it quit.
How many related to bosses or Union people? Inquiring minds want to know? Who's their "chinaman? (Great retro term!) All the bodyguards already making SGT pay! Special employment pay at that rate too! Don't ever take this job seriously! You will end up in a rubber room! I want an M4 too! (phallic symbol) Freud speaks from the grave!
Congratulations to all our SWAT Operators who made SGT. We are proud of you!!! Remember where you came from and continue your hard work in training and fitness. You were part of the sword and shield on our team and we will miss you.
Strength and Honor!!!!!
-----------------------------------
WTF? Does everyone on SWAT talk like that?
God Speed good sir knight!!!
How about a patch for all bosses that are merit. Maybe a giant scarlet "M" or something. And all merits from the past have to wear them since we have no real clue other than some of the things some of them say.
CONGRATS Laura Wieczorek!!! 1st watch 377 we'll miss you!!!

Yes, CFD has a clause - it's called the "wrap around" which means if you were passed over for promotion because of a merit selection, you will be guaranteed a promotion. Even if the list is taken down, your name and the names of anyone else passed over, go to the top of the next list. The last lieutenants list had the names of 32 - passed over on the previous list. They were the first promotions made. Seems fair to me.

would any true leader that is true to honor take a merit promotion while someone with a higher score got left behind. a true leader would refuse and try harder next time. .

**********************************
You must be one of the Stupidest people in the WORLD.
Here's a $15,000 raise. Oh, no thanks I didn't score high enough on the list.
Give me a break.
Stay thirsty my friends
there is a reason you didnt make it as a sgt or in a unit. most of the guys in units are good guys or were workers, even i know that. so quit your bitching.. no one cares that youve been in patrol for 20 years and have been passed over... im sure you scored ok but not great on the test but have done nothing on the street and know nothing about police work. go cry to your mommies you idiots..
5/18/2008 04:44:00 AM
Those in specialized units have acess to those "special study groups". They are not tied up answering radio calls and have time to study. Bosses that help. In patrol, no one cares about promotion or advancement.

Be careful of what you wish for. CFD also has an Affirmative Action Clause in their contract as well. Wouldn't want that now too, would you??
To 5/16/2008 10:31:00 PM,
If Eric Jackson new his stuff he could pass a test high enough to be promoted. But he could not. Not my fault the public schools can't educate. Over how many thousand did he pass over? And white males and females in the 350-400 area (well within the top eight percent of the list) will be sweating the list. Jackson is a willing accomplice in the departments affirmative action promotion scheme. A side note: Funny how a turkey sergeant proudly comes to defend the system. Can the Irish be anymore corrupt? And a blow hard to boot! Fuck you sergeant-you defend a corrupt system because you and yours exemplify it.
To 5/17/2008 03:02:00 PM,
But they could't pass a test!!!!
Are you SERIOUS M.P. from 196. It just shows that the Dept. hasn't changed. Hey, M.P. How will you pay for you're new Sgt. Shirts now that you have to give back that Gov. credit card? Better yet, how will you pay your utility bills without that Gov. Credit card?
To 5/17/2008 11:17:00 PM,
It is true and it's called to as "wrap around clause".
To 5/17/2008 07:11:00 PM,
You're full of shit. The narcotics unit has been the proving ground for connected Irish theives since time immemorial and it hasn't changed. Those assigned there remember to pass the envelope up hence ensuring promotion. And a beat cars traffic stop will trump those goofs results any day of the week.
The need a new Ceverons patch for merit sergeants:
How about the regular Ceverons patch with a small "M" under them.
Hey don't let the 2 broads from unit 196 get under the radar. 1 was in mounted unit and kicked by a horse, and the other is hard working Daughter of retired boss in Mauer clan!!!!!!!!! They will both be graet assets until they make Lieutenants!!!!!!!!!!

I am impressed with the merit list! Don't know all of them but the ones I do know are great cops and well deserving. Good people on the list who made it by score too. Good luck to all new sgts.
5/16/2008 10:41:00 PM
Please stop eating those 'shrooms. Most of those merits are mediocrity personified, TLW being a perfect example.
anonymous said...
One of the Merit picks is a Rev. check 021.
5/17/2008 06:17:00 AM
He's a good cop and damn good guy. Lay off.
Out of 53 RANK ORDER ONLY 23 were from patrol. Nobody speaking about that?? Stop knocking specialized units and fight for the 70% that nobody can take from you. Keep concentrating on the 30% and you already have lost!
...For the new Sgts you are on probation for six months after your are sworn...
WRONG!!! Once you're sworn in to your new rank, you keep it. The only way to lose it is to be fired from the job. Same with the rank of lieutenant. Those are the only two ranks that cannot be taken from you.
Congratulations to all our SWAT Operators who made SGT. We are proud of you!!! Remember where you came from and continue your hard work in training and fitness. You were part of the sword and shield on our team and we will miss you.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
j-fed does not have the answers of why these people were promoted. he is a puppet, doing as the fucking daley machine says! well at least he is getting paid well.
"Right.
8,000 in patrol
1,000 in units"
There are well over 1200 in the D div alone.
At least half of patrol has less than 5 years on, which makes them ineligible for promotion.
Some were born to be the police, others just collect a check. You will find both types in units and patrol.
The new boss doesn't know anyone. He had to pick by resume' and the recommendation of exempts who worked with these merits.
The merit system needs more tweaking, but was at least a little better than past procedures.
I don't know about you, but if I was going to vouch for a guy, put my name behind him, you can bet he would be deserving.
You can always find somehing bad to say about someone, but I have heard nothing but good things about most of these merits.
Be safe.

I through for sure that Steve Peterson would make sure Homan Square (narcotics-unit 189) was not "over represented" in the merit showing. Considering 4 out of the 22 merit were from narcotics alone suggests some things will never change.
Tell you what. Put on some nasty clothes without a gun, star, vest, or a partner and go walk through the ghetto in an area that is infested with violence and walk up to some gang bangers in the street and convince them you are not the police. Have you ever done that? Try and get them to sell you drugs after they take you into a unlit building. Once you are in that building maybe you will be confronted with an armed drug dealer security who is threatening to shoot you and take your money. Maybe they will sell you drugs but make you stick the drugs in your mouth before you can leave. I wont tell you where the drug dealers keep the drugs that they are forcing you to put in your mouth. Maybe you will be sitting in a car with two dope dealers to make a deal and end up in a choke hold with two guns pointed at you. Before you develop your clever response stop and think about what these officers do. These are real situations that these officers have encountered. I will never discount patrol as deserving officers, but these units earn their keep as well. Good luck to all of you.
5/17/2008 07:11:00 PM
I wont say that has never happened. How many people has that happened to in narcotics? Come on. Those nickel & dime bag purchases from hypes does not equate to the number of merit promotions out of narcotics. I will admit that I know one copper from narcotics that should be the C O of the unit after his accomplishments.However, he was screwed big time, and now these one bag wonders get promoted so easily.
