Please don't drink and drive. And please don't think that just because you are a cop if another cop stops you for DUI, you will get a pass. Rich Aguilar made an excellent point in the latest FOP newsletter.
Please read it. Also, now the new law states that if you get caught with a DUI, then you need to install a breath a layzer machine and thus this will jeopardize your employment with the city. Please be careful, if you know you will be drinking a lot, then have a designated driver to take you home. Don't gamble with your employment, especially during these trying economic times! Take care and don't drink and drive!
Where did our BUDGETED FUNDS both from the CITY and the FEDERAL GOV'T go?Please JOHN KASS or PATRICK FITZGERALD help us.Why can't JOHN KASS get a camera crew and stop passing squad cars to show the utter squalor they are, and the complete lack of functioning equipment.1 out of every 3 cars has no PDT or has over 100,000 miles on it.Why the F.O.P. doesn't expose this I'll never know,we ride around for 8 1/2 HRS in death traps.
Lodding was kind of a geek who always had his head up Steve Scholl's big fat ass since day one in Filmore back in the early 90's.
Tobias used to fetch coffee for E-Fred Bosse back when Gangs West/S.O.G. operated out of Area 4. All his promotions come from his hockey abilities which happened to impress the right boss.
So, now these two "Merit-Cloutorious" bosses are swapping spots?
OT: Today's "848" program on WBEZ had the year review of J-Frauds 1st yr. anniversary. Ald. Carrothers ripped his dumb ass. Rev. Robin the Hood wants more Cease Fire money since him and the poverty pimps have been cut off and J-Fraud wont acknowledge their intervention. Reporter Angela Rozas was the only one who made any sense in the program. Also whats up with IAD do they really have nothing better to do than to still try to find the mystery faxer from the 014th Dist? Why are you people wasting all this time dragging a whole desk crew down to IAD to interview for this nonsense? Did the Burger Queen really get her feelings hurt that bad?
watched fox news, useless story, they suck as reporters. They should read the blog they would get better tips about the truth, why wouldnt they interview the person who was the commander of area 4 at the time? why dean andrews, what was he back then, i believe a street deputy, not sure if he was the street deputy on duty the day of the shooting. the only cover up is that the skull fucked this case up and the real offenders are free. this is not a police on police crime, that theory just sells tv time for fox.
A LITTLE BIRD INFORMED ME THAT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO IN THE LOVELY 10TH DIST A VERY WEIRD EVENT OCCURRED.
A CLEAN CUT WHITE MALE WAS CAUGHT IN THE PARKING LOT PHOTOGRAPHING WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA THE BUILDING AND THE LOT. HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND QUESTIONED. A BACKGROUND CHECK WAS DONE AND GUESS WHAT POPPED MULTIPLE ARREST 4 IMPERSONATING THE POLICE. HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AND OF COURSE HIS ADRESS LISTED WAS FAR FROM CHICAGO!
THE AREA DICKS WERE CALLED IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS WANNA B TERRORIST BROKE NO LAWS. U SEE 10TH DIST LOT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND HAS NO SIGNS STATING NO TRESSPASSING...
SO WHO COULD THIS CLEAN CUT WHITE MALE BE!!!
ANY GUESSES! I WOULD BUT MAY BE SOMEONE ELSE WANT TO CHIME IN...
IT MAY BE WORTHY OF A POST?
J-FED R U TESTING THE PERIMETER?
I DONT WANT TO SEE ANY DESK SGT'S DUMPED TO BEWARE...
For our sanity and the security of our families, we cannot live in this god forsaken city. The FORBES report of our shithole is the perfect argument for lifting residency. Coal City here I come !
off topic Hey Shortshanks You want the Olympics here in 2016? Just look at whats going on in Vancouver right now as they get prepared for the 2010 winter Olympics. They are going broke!!! And guess who is going to get them out of the red? Thats right....taxpayers. They are talking almost 13% increase in taxes across the board to help pay for the Olympics there!NO THANK YOU!!!!!

News Flash....
Howard was NEVER a merit supervisor. Did not know the man back in his fillmore days, but currently I wish we had 10 more exempts like him so we could unload at least 50 of dog ass merit exempts. He's a good man so unless you have ever met him , don't knock him.
C'mon, SCC. It's common knowledge that Tobias's 'ol pal RayRay has been shopping for a "spot" to move Tobias into after he became the C/O of the all important "policy group." Problem was, none of the other Deputy Supts. wanted to "trade" for Mattie. I guess RayRay finally wore someone down. Lodding will be a refreshing change at the Academy. God only knows what Mattie will do once he's moved in to 3510. GOD HELP US ALL!
What is the point anyway? The city is barely hiring any new people in the next few years and promoting very few. Lodding is a nice guy but I do not have a clue why he would want this position.

I was there during the roatating watches then did the Tactical thing when Howard was a blue shirt. He never was an ass kisser.
Crawl back onto the bar stool now, and have another green bottle.
It doesn't matter who runs the academy the problem lies with who the city is hiring. If the city keeps sending the academy shit heads and dummies, it won't matter who runs the place because you can't turn a thug into a police officer. I remember when I applied for the job we had to draw a picture of every tatoo we had on the blank pages in the application packet. I didn't have any, so I left them blank. Now I understand they don't do that anymore on the applications (probably because some lawyer sued) so now the gang members don't have to show their gang tatoo's until they are hired. If anyone was ever a gang member they should never be allowed in law enforcement PERIOD!! Isn't that who we're fighting against? Gang, Guns and drugs, right? We hear it all the time from the lying brass. Maybe the city should ease up on political correctness when it comes to law enforcement. Or at least don't hire gang members!
Lodding sucks--- Worked with him in 021... unless you kiss his a$$ or toot his horn... your doomed.....He used to brag about being #1 in contact cards in the city! Point proven
Just for fun, a little FYI - this was on the Tribune comments post:
I was there that night and heard the whole thing. The girl knew what was going on. And her mother probably did too. It's common knowledge in the building what these two were up to, but no one ever thought anything would happen - simply because of her mother's position. In fact, as the cops were breaking the door down, all you could hear between thuds was her screaming -"Do you know who my mother is?" Do you? My mother is Beatrice Cuello!!!" The Trib didn't bring Cuello into the situation, her daughter did. Also, rumor has it, this is the daughter's second time in this situation - raid, drug bust, she gets off scotch free. Except it was a different boyfriend the first time.
I'm surprised that Chicago isnt rated #1 most miserable city. Whomever voted on this subject or did the research, should talk to a Chicago cop or too about the real Chicago behind the smoke n mirrors.

the best thing that ever happened at the academy in a while. what will all his little puppets do now? maybe they might have to work an 8hr. shift no more exercising and going home early.
The guy photographing police stations is some douchebag with a lawsuit against the city because he got locked up trespassing in a police station lot. He's trying to prove there are no signs that say "no trespassing." He may have a case...

You my friend, are a DUMBASS!
Howard Lodding was never a meritorious promotion. I knew him as a P.O., Sgt., Lt., Commander and A.D.S. You will not find a better "man" or "boss" out there!
dont worry, no scandal behind this one.. little matty has been begging and pleading to get down to 35th street for years... trust me.. this is his dream come true.
J-Fed and his FBI staff are currently looking to outsource the police academy. They are currently speaking to the Cook County Sheriff and the State Police Academy's. The cities cost for training will be less and it will lessen the cities liabilities. Additionally it will (supposedly) put the clout heavy academy staff back into patrol where we are hurting for manpower. Just wait and see, negotiations are under way. This will take place under J-Feds command.
To 11:31pm, That is not true. The doctors for medical part of the process asks you to take your shirt off to listen to your heart and chest. Then asks too lift your pants up to check your arch.

Yeah, and 021 became so much better after he left too, right? (sarcasm - not intended to confuse the the previous poster.)
Lodding is one of the better bosses out there. The fact that 021 was #1 in anything other than personals should have been addressed. Does it really bother you that a boss had something positive to say about his district's stats? I don't care if it's contact cards, city service requests, or arrests...the fact is he had a positive attitude when he addressed the troops which is too uncommon these days and could be one of the many reasons why morale is in the toilet. Anyone who WORKS for him knows he acknowledges and respects the working police. And to clarify, no I don't mean just writing contact cards.

THAT was a stupid idea from the start! A backwards intrusive search at the very least. Many have done some stupid things in their youth, and a tattoo is not definitive proof...it easily could have been false bravado and 'wanting' to viewed as tough. Additionally, some are applied out of necessity so you can walk through the neighborhood. And finally, some can be chalked up to youthful indiscretion, a bad choice with regret, and a changed life. Not everything done at the age of 13 is an indictment for life. If you really knew anything about gangs, you would know this. We didn't all grow up the same way, but by the time we became adults there are some value systems we all have in common... tattoo or not!
on the subject of vasquez that f-king reporter should get his facts straight, i was there on the scene and it was two females that responded on the ambulance and not a male, that asshole that's covered up is just feeding feeding smoke to the reporter. and the reason why we always keep custody of any injured p.o. belongings is so that u assholes in the fire dept wont steal them. dont believe the conspiracy bs, who ever did it, just hasnt been caught yet

2/09/2009 11:32:00 PM ******************************************************* You poor miserable useless fuck. Lodding asked of you to write a few contact cards? It's guys like you that give us a bad name. Quit being so fucking lazy.
Howard Lodding was never a merit Supervisor????? That seems to be a stretch and completely untrue. Lodding was promoted to Sgt in 1998. That is a fact. That means in less than 11 years he went from PO to ADS. The last time I checked there isn't a test for DC or ADS. I don't know if he was a merit Sgt or LT. That facts are simple merit is the only way to make it past the rank of LT.
Tobias was a Sgt at the academy when Lodding was still a PO at the academy. I really don't think you can get to the academy without help (phone call).
I'm not going to say a bad thing about either of these bosses. Tobias is not a bad guy if you know him. He simply has not spent alot of time in the patrol division at least at the district level. Lodding is guy who took this job on whim. Lodding was a laborer or plumber before this job. He has turned that whim into quite a windfall. Thats not a bad thing. He is a nice guy and not half as arrogant as most bosses on this job.
I think those on this post who keep saying how good, great, cool, etc. some of these SGTS, LTS, and CAPTS are, is being monitored by those moron bosses who will see to it that they don't go anywhere COOL! I think we should tone this down until one of these COOL bosses makes SUPT! Being good to the troops is not in vogue now! "Be vary, vary quiet, we lookin for good wabbits!"
Howard Lodding was never a meritorious promotion. I knew him as a P.O., Sgt., Lt., Commander and A.D.S. You will not find a better "man" or "boss" out there!
Are you telling me he made SGT, LT, and then CO on his own? In the City of Chicago? They use to say that about BRECZEK after he made Supt! #1 on the SGT, LT, and CAPT exams! Buy lottery tickets! I guess the odds ain't that bad!
The guy photographing police stations is some douchebag with a lawsuit against the city because he got locked up trespassing in a police station lot. He's trying to prove there are no signs that say "no trespassing." He may have a case...
You don't necessarily need signs. you only have to tell them once to leave and if they don't it's trespassing. No case.

the guy being interviewed wasn't a paramedic. watch the interview again. i got the feeling he was another copper.
anyway, the point this guy makes is, that his wallet, star, gun, cell phone, and jewelery were all still on the scene. if the dicks or whoever is claiming it was a robbery gone bad, all or some of these things should be missing.
i wonder, if the offenders never got away with any of these items, and they were taken in custody by another officer, were they ever returned to the family? if they are being held as evidence, then the family should have gotten an inventory receipt, right? at least there would be a record of it being inventoried in case file.
HMMMMM......... Tobias, worked in SOS as a Patrolman, Sgt. LT. and then the coveted spot as Commander......... He also was a homeroom Sgt. and Range Sgt. in the Academy. ALL pretty cushy CLOUT heavy spots. He was there from beginning to end from patrolman on up for all the thieving going on with the Finnegan scandal. He actually would have the audacity to come to our watch, berate us and calls us the "dog watch" for not being like his buddy and super cop Jerry Finegan and their watch. Our watch would shake our heads in disbelief........... We all knew something shady was going on,but didn't know quite what it was.. Only those is the KNOW did. cough cough Tobias!!!! Tobias sucked up to Lt Blake, and was fully aware of what was going on, on their watch, and only looked at the numbers of our watch. How could you not??? He was the Commander..... Our watch did it the old fashioned way with good old fashioned police work bringing in the heads, guns and dope. Hence why are numbers couldn't compare to their's or for that matter their teams...... This is not watch envy by any means. There were plenty of good HONEST old fashioned coppers on their watch, that steered clear of Finnegan and his merry band of thieves....
He buried the HBT Lt. Bosse, when he became Commander, and buried a prince of a Lt, Lt. Baranowski. Both retired, when Tobias became Commander of SOS, forced out basically. Those that helped him and his career. He returned th favor in kind and bit the hands that fed him. Snake!
I would bet my next paycheck, that Finnegan is singing like a bird, he is giving up the bosses in SOS. It really wouldn't look good now, if the ADS and person in control of the Chicago Police Academy and recruit training who spent most of his career in SOS, was the immediate supervisor in many different uniforms there in SOS, and signed off on all those CR #'s and then tries to state he had NO KNOWLEDGE of the situation....... Shit is going to finally roll up hill on this one. I wonder which other supervisor's heads are going to roll on this one??? Anyone up for a pool of who goes down too?
Gee, I sure do wonder Matt, is your wife (Matt Rodriguez's NIECE) going to get you out of the biggest screw up of your career?? Oh right, the biggest screw up of your career was becoming the police. You should have stayed a hockey coach, maybe they would have believed all your Marine war stories........ You are a disgrace to the Marine's and to the CPD. Thanks in advance for the newest black eye heading our way.
Howard Lodding was never a meritorious promotion. I knew him as a P.O., Sgt., Lt., Commander and A.D.S. You will not find a better "man" or "boss" out there!
2/10/2009 12:31:00 AM
Hey DUmbASS yourself:
Never a meritorious promotion. Can you tell me where I get the application package for Commander or ADS???
NO reflection on the man himself; but look at what you just wrote & tell me how Commander or ADS is not a merit promotion? You have a 7/10 chance of being a Sergeant and a 7/10 chance of being a Lieutenant legitimately, ALL other supervisory spots/ranks are 'meritcloutorious'
SSC CLOSE THE ACADEMY AND SEND ALL THE RECRUITS TO THE ARIZONA STATE POLICE ACADEMY IN PHOENIX. DID A TOUR THERE WHEN I WAS ON VACATION YOU TALK ABOUT A KICK ASS PROFESSIONAL ACADEMY . ALSO TOTAL MILITARY BEARING. ALSO HAVE ALL RECRUITS ASSIGNED TO THE MIGHT SEISER. SEISER STILL RUNS IT.
Out Source the Training Division? Give someone else control over Chicago Recruits? Give up the money paid by the Suburbs to school their recruits? What kind of power do people think J-Fed has? No way, ain't gonna happen. As far as hating on the Academy , 35th/st or anyone else outside of patrol, grow up. If the City hired as is needed there would not be a problem with manpower anywhere. This is a Daley made crisis. Like the Military not every member is out on a combat mission. There's other job's that must be done making it possible for gunts to go out and hunt.

I said it before.
Gangs are the future of this department. Any decent kid in this city who valued his education and has a good work ethic would be OUT OF HIS MIND to take this job.
The local Catholic High School connection with this department is severed.
The future of this department are the lower level gang recruits who managed to make it through high school without getting caught with a pack or a pistol. All his friends are gang bangers and he'll fit right in the new CPD.
The thugs and thug wannabes they are currently hiring are going to be on this job for the next TWENTY YEARS!
In 10 years, the Superintendent of this place will be a "former" gang member who is "not responsible" for the multiple crimes his family commits around the city.

All bullshit. County wants nothing to do with CPD. State has their own academy and cannot operate two academies. By state law we must maintain a regional academy. They could share resources but no one likes how CPD does training. State has their own system.

Say goodbye to the hockey players. No more hiding for the special people. No more bed rest employees.
You should not have to be asked to do work. You do work because that is your job; or you see crime or it is necessary for you well-being, intergerity. Any boss who has to ask someone to work isn't a very good boss. If you like what your doing and who your doing it for no questions asked. So there merit Loding! He has not earned his respect nor his rank!!!
Bitch please! The only "Point" you have is under your hat. Go suck off the new boss, see where that gets you. He was a hell of a lot more fair than Doty! ------------------------------------ And to all the other comments about how great Lodding is... YOU ARE IDIOTS. He is just like every other boss out there who will throw you under a bus if you DONT DO WHAT HE WANTS--- he is NO different. my whole point about the contact card thing was not that I did not want to write them I love working---but come on 021 is a fucking joke.. FUCKING JOKE... FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING joke!!!
Well, I hope that Lodding clamps down on the free ride at the academy, all those that come to work out and then go home afterwards. Or on the only CPD employee is is allowed by M. Tobias to "work from home" A. C-H needs to stop ghostpayrolling and report to work like the rest of the CPD do! What a scam she has going! It's called felony theft and everyone, the ADS M.T. and his entire office staff need to be worried about the "covering" that they have been doing for A. C-H (administrative manager) who "works from home" = more like working from Utica, Illinois! When she does show up at the academy, she only works a couple of hours and is gone home. I hope that some reporter, inspector, iad, or inspector general look into this theft. The rest of us that show up for work every day are tired of this.
Loding is a miserable fuck! Watch out who you call useless 2/10/09 6:37am. Quit ass kissing bosses. If the guy wants contact cards, let him write them; afterall a white shirt does not negate police activity!

Holy cow Mr. Dumb ass! First of all the poster was talking about gang tatoo's so pay attention! It Looks like you come from the school of "no personal responsibility." Your're the typical liberal always making an excuse for bad behavior and blaming someone else for the things you have done. Everyone is a victim, right? I know the neighborhood made him get the tatoo and join the gang even though he always wanted to be the police. It's looks like you're not the police because you have no idea what the poster was talking about. No go back to your corner and act like a shit head!

Who said anything about being indicted for life? Just not being able to become a police officer is all we ask if someone was a gang member. The "former" gang member can straighten himself out and go get any other job.
ruth wedster detailed to the academy, and Jim O'Donnel will take over afternoons in the meantime. Since Ruth is detailed they dont have to fill the spot or else terry williams would be jumping to get over there

And, who would you rather be partnered with? Who would you trust to invite them into your home to visit your family? I for one will never work with a former gangbanger. Fuck the gangs and anyone affiliated with them. I chose to live a life of honest and hard work. I never tried drugs or hung out with any gangs. I had after school jobs and after graduation went into the work force full time 6 days a week. This is what I chose. Just like the rest of those assholes who were or are still affiliated with gangs, that's their choice. I will NEVER trust a former gang member with anything.
Former 153 poster, You Sir are so correct. You hit it right on the head matt screwed the two Lt's that took care of him over the years. The Baran was a prince. You could not find a better boss. Our watch knew the nonsense that went on but I dont think anyone knew the extent of it. Old scholl policing on the Barans watch kept numbers and crs down. B Safe
The academy should be run by Capt. Libert. He is the most qualified for the job but we would hate to lose him here in 017. Great Boss takes care of his people and still gets the job done.
i wonder, if the offenders never got away with any of these items, and they were taken in custody by another officer, were they ever returned to the family? if they are being held as evidence, then the family should have gotten an inventory receipt, right? at least there would be a record of it being inventoried in case file.
didn't hear about the lateral, but seems like a Capt from 005 is going to the academy (wasn't that supposed to be a capt's spot anyway in the '09 budget?)....so, isn't every exempt spot filled by the absolute best and brightest, I mean, absolutely the best person in the CPD? No? anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
To "ghost payrolling at the academy" She just had a baby ***hat. And mind your own business. Network once in awhile and maybe you too can have a clout job inside.
Hmmmm....Does this mean no more ghost payrolling at the OVERSTAFFED education and training division?? Well..... I guess that would explain all of the scared looks on peoples faces! Good times a comin! Can you say "detail Cancelled!!" Ha..ha..ha..ha..ha..ha..ha..ha!!!!!

Yeah right, great leader my a@@! He did such a great job as a leader when he was the W/C in 025 that he immediately I-Bonded Mearday after the Comito-Theil incident to avoid a prisoner detail. Nice job "leader." Then this asshat gets "dumped" to 016, and has the nerve to bitch and moan about it. Leader? If he's a leader you're a fool to follow him.

There are many fools that will follow him. He did a great job in academy and in 017. His problem is he is a natural leader and not clouted. He does not kiss ass and takes care of his personnel. That does not fit the mold from 35th street. 017 now has mealer. Great choice.

3 months off before she had the baby. Ghost payroll is a crime in case you are confused. Offer the same privilege to other female officers in need. Network or kiss ass? Maybe play hockey? Interesting how the management will be quick to defend her. I wonder why?

The Baran was/is a Prince. A cops cop all the way. He stood there with his troops, he was a fair boss, easy to get along with, with an open door policy. He lent an ear, a shoulder and a hand out to EVERYONE on his watch.
It was disgusting and disheartening to see what Tobias did to him.
Tobias brought in his cronie's to run, HBT, a new "under qualified" LAPA meritorious LT to run our watch, who went on to be the HBT Lt........ Why? You and I and all the other's in SOS knew, because it was his old partner, not because he was qualified. There was an interim LT for a bit, a nice guy, but just a fill in until he could get "his guy" in there.
Tobias........ You should be having nightmare's right about now. Your time is coming buddy, far to late for alots liking, but coming nonetheless.
She's gone to the academy from 005. She gets a lot of talk of bullshit but in my 14 yrs on the job she is was the best boss I've worked for. I will miss her from 005. And I wish her the best of luck. May we share some dinners together soon.

############################### This broads been pulling this shit for years! Ghostpayrolling is a crime. Who gives a f*ck if she had a baby! Shw is the only employee in the CPD that is allowed to "work from Utica, IL" By the way it is my business, I am a taxpayer and not CPD. I know her from the neighborhood! (That's how stupid she is, she likes to brag about her ghostpayrolling, Asshat!)
THAT was a stupid idea from the start! A backwards intrusive search at the very least. Many have done some stupid things in their youth, and a tattoo is not definitive proof...it easily could have been false bravado and 'wanting' to viewed as tough. Additionally, some are applied out of necessity so you can walk through the neighborhood. And finally, some can be chalked up to youthful indiscretion, a bad choice with regret, and a changed life. Not everything done at the age of 13 is an indictment for life. If you really knew anything about gangs, you would know this. We didn't all grow up the same way, but by the time we became adults there are some value systems we all have in common... tattoo or not!
2/10/2009 04:35:00 AM
Thanks for the sociology lesson Dr. Phil. But fuck you and your weak-minded peer pressure excuses. There are plenty of people who made the right choices at the right time. CPD doesn't need someone like you.

Really? And how did you get out of the gang? Did you take a beat down. Avoid the old neighborhood? Family send you down south to get out of the city for awhile? Listen, pal, there are good guys and bad guys. There are people that will always choose the right thing over the wrong thing and they grow up to be police officers. CPD does not need "former" or rehabilitated bangers. It doesn't need people who may feel loyalty to the wrong people at the wrong time. It doesn't need people who have values that are malleable or twist and turn depending on their environment. Sounds like you fucked up and now you don't want to live with it. You were a gutless follower then and are probably a follower now. You should have had more character and made better choices. The problem with the world today is that there is no shame anymore, no repercussions for poor behavior. No concern for reputation. Everybody wants to do whatever they want and not have to be accountable for that behavior. And that's the problem. Too much respect, help and hand outs given to losers and people that can't or won't carry their weight. Pretty soon you have bums who think they deserve respect, people who want to sit on their lazy asses deserve welfare and former gangbangers that think the CPD doesn't have a right to question their past or tats. You have to stand for something. And you have to do it early on and consistently. Once society starts making excuses for people, it's fucked. And I think that's become pretty obvious in the last ten or fifteen years.
Go find yourself another job. One that doesn't require so much integrity. It'll probably be much less taxing on your brain.

Well...I submitted a retort to the obviously one-sided frame of thought that has been posted by several of you. In the retort, I said that SCC would not post it, and I was correct! For those that want to stay 'lost' in the wilderness...stay! Your minds will not allow you to see outside the box...and the box? The box is not an allowance for reformed gang members...nor is it an allowance for current gang members. Just because YOU 'Think' someone was or is a gang member doesn't make it so. And you're suppose to be investigators?
Post further if you will...I will not return additional comment.

Wow, this is one rumor that is true! Or at least was when I worked there. Not sure about the last 3 mos, but someone should look into the last few years. If the media or Inspector General (hint,hint) were to investigate, it would be proven fact. Other Dept members have to take unpaid FMLA time for maternity. It's just not right for them to throw it in the face of every other woman in the Dept who didn't "work from home" on maternity.
Under MET, the academy turned into Scamalot. So, the antics of the A.Mgr. is business as usual for the chosen ones. She, however, has been doing this for her entire career. Networking? That's just another word for the quid-pro-quo schmooze used by a con artist like her. A stand-up front office may just set things right. Time will tell...

As long as I have know this A. C-H, she has been unable to report to work on a regular basis. Was written up years ago. I understand that Sgt. Joe D. helped her out and covered for her. Then it went to MET and his front office staff, Sgt. Po's and timekeeper. Those actions just enabled her to continue her theft. Someone needs to be held accountable.
Ghost payroll thing really pisses me off. I know exactly who you are talking about. There were other women there who were pregnant and worked until the end.
Anyone wonder what makes people get promoted up the ladder repeatedly even after they screw up? I see some of you anxiously awaiting the promotion exams not realizing they are nothing more than lottery tickets! The essay questions are the way they get rid of the bright, talented but cloutless individuals so they can put "their" people in! No scores publicly displayed only proves this theory! We just don't get it! It is 2010 now and nothing ever changes! This blog continues to list the exempts, their wards, their "clout" whether it be political or family connections and we all continue to just laugh about it! We are the fools! Then, we spend the rest of our life kowtowing to them in order to survive! Pathetic, isn't it!

Dear brothers and sisters:
Please don't drink and drive. And please don't think that just because you are a cop if another cop stops you for DUI, you will get a pass. Rich Aguilar made an excellent point in the latest FOP newsletter.
Please read it. Also, now the new law states that if you get caught with a DUI, then you need to install a breath a layzer machine and thus this will jeopardize your employment with the city. Please be careful, if you know you will be drinking a lot, then have a designated driver to take you home. Don't gamble with your employment, especially during these trying economic times! Take care and don't drink and drive!
Couldnt ask for a much nicer guy than Lodding.

No more Police Academy. All new recruits will have training by working with Seiser for one day.

This is going to fix everything. Ill bet my stimulus package on it.
We have to work with Tobias? Oh no, say it isn't so. We'll miss you at HQ, Howard. I can't say we'll gain anything with Tobias, ugh.
Where did our BUDGETED FUNDS both from the CITY and the FEDERAL GOV'T go?Please JOHN KASS or PATRICK FITZGERALD help us.Why can't JOHN KASS get a camera crew and stop passing squad cars to show the utter squalor they are, and the complete lack of functioning equipment.1 out of every 3 cars has no PDT or has over 100,000 miles on it.Why the F.O.P. doesn't expose this I'll never know,we ride around for 8 1/2 HRS in death traps.
Lodding was kind of a geek who always had his head up Steve Scholl's big fat ass since day one in Filmore back in the early 90's.
Tobias used to fetch coffee for E-Fred Bosse back when Gangs West/S.O.G. operated out of Area 4. All his promotions come from his hockey abilities which happened to impress the right boss.
So, now these two "Merit-Cloutorious" bosses are swapping spots?
*yawn*
OT: Today's "848" program on WBEZ had the year review of J-Frauds 1st yr. anniversary. Ald. Carrothers ripped his dumb ass. Rev. Robin the Hood wants more Cease Fire money since him and the poverty pimps have been cut off and J-Fraud wont acknowledge their intervention. Reporter Angela Rozas was the only one who made any sense in the program. Also whats up with IAD do they really have nothing better to do than to still try to find the mystery faxer from the 014th Dist? Why are you people wasting all this time dragging a whole desk crew down to IAD to interview for this nonsense? Did the Burger Queen really get her feelings hurt that bad?
I hope someone from SCC is watching the 9:pm Fox News!!!!!!!!!!!! on
our brother Jose Vasquez......
watched fox news, useless story, they suck as reporters. They should read the blog they would get better tips about the truth, why wouldnt they interview the person who was the commander of area 4 at the time? why dean andrews, what was he back then, i believe a street deputy, not sure if he was the street deputy on duty the day of the shooting. the only cover up is that the skull fucked this case up and the real offenders are free. this is not a police on police crime, that theory just sells tv time for fox.

News Flash....
Howard was NEVER a merit supervisor. Did not know the man back in his fillmore days, but currently I wish we had 10 more exempts like him so we could unload at least 50 of dog ass merit exempts. He's a good man so unless you have ever met him , don't knock him.
Capt. from 005 now is going to be the commander of the academy. Tobias lateral transfer.
the academy is having a big party!!!
C'mon, SCC.
It's common knowledge that Tobias's 'ol pal RayRay has been shopping for a "spot" to move Tobias into after he became the C/O of the all important "policy group." Problem was, none of the other Deputy Supts. wanted to "trade" for Mattie. I guess RayRay finally wore someone down. Lodding will be a refreshing change at the
Academy. God only knows what Mattie will do once he's moved in to 3510.
GOD HELP US ALL!
What is the point anyway? The city is barely hiring any new people in the next few years and promoting very few.
Lodding is a nice guy but I do not have a clue why he would want this position.
Don't be to quick to praise H.L remember he was put up from Cmndr to ADS by J-Fed.

_______________________________
I was there in the early 90's also- another example of jealousy rearing its ugly head. I was there during the roatating watches then did the Tactical thing when Howard was a blue shirt. He never was an ass kisser.
Crawl back onto the bar stool now, and have another green bottle.
Rumor has it that Chief of Staff Mike Masters, a civilian, is going around making arrests and the shit is going to hit the fan - again.
screw matt he never helped anybody but himself.
It doesn't matter who runs the academy the problem lies with who the city is hiring. If the city keeps sending the academy shit heads and dummies, it won't matter who runs the place because you can't turn a thug into a police officer. I remember when I applied for the job we had to draw a picture of every tatoo we had on the blank pages in the application packet. I didn't have any, so I left them blank. Now I understand they don't do that anymore on the applications (probably because some lawyer sued) so now the gang members don't have to show their gang tatoo's until they are hired. If anyone was ever a gang member they should never be allowed in law enforcement PERIOD!! Isn't that who we're fighting against? Gang, Guns and drugs, right? We hear it all the time from the lying brass. Maybe the city should ease up on political correctness when it comes to law enforcement. Or at least don't hire gang members!
Lodding sucks--- Worked with him in 021... unless you kiss his a$$ or toot his horn... your doomed.....He used to brag about being #1 in contact cards in the city! Point proven
Maybe just maybe the sos scandal is breathing down his neck? say it is so!
Just for fun, a little FYI - this was on the Tribune comments post:
I was there that night and heard the whole thing. The girl knew what was going on. And her mother probably did too. It's common knowledge in the building what these two were up to, but no one ever thought anything would happen - simply because of her mother's position.
In fact, as the cops were breaking the door down, all you could hear between thuds was her screaming -"Do you know who my mother is?" Do you? My mother is Beatrice Cuello!!!"
The Trib didn't bring Cuello into the situation, her daughter did.
Also, rumor has it, this is the daughter's second time in this situation - raid, drug bust, she gets off scotch free.
Except it was a different boyfriend the first time.
didn't hear of it, but...more evidence of the corruption and incompentence of the the CPD...no?
I'm surprised that Chicago isnt rated #1 most miserable city. Whomever voted on this subject or did the research, should talk to a Chicago cop or too about the real Chicago behind the smoke n mirrors.

Bitch please! The only "Point" you have is under your hat. Go suck off the new boss, see where that gets you. He was a hell of a lot more fair than Doty!
the best thing that ever happened at the academy in a while. what will all his little puppets do now? maybe they might have to work an 8hr. shift no more exercising and going home early.
The guy photographing police stations is some douchebag with a lawsuit against the city because he got locked up trespassing in a police station lot. He's trying to prove there are no signs that say "no trespassing." He may have a case...

dont worry, no scandal behind this one.. little matty has been begging and pleading to get down to 35th street for years... trust me.. this is his dream come true.

matt moved out thats karma. they need more eyes on him.
lodding is a real boss worth working for.... looked out for his workers and cared about morale
Here's a good one,
J-Fed and his FBI staff are currently looking to outsource the police academy. They are currently speaking to the Cook County Sheriff and the State Police Academy's. The cities cost for training will be less and it will lessen the cities liabilities. Additionally it will (supposedly) put the clout heavy academy staff back into patrol where we are hurting for manpower. Just wait and see, negotiations are under way. This will take place under J-Feds command.
so thats why i seen tobias moving out boxes today...

Yeah, and 021 became so much better after he left too, right? (sarcasm - not intended to confuse the the previous poster.)
Lodding is one of the better bosses out there. The fact that 021 was #1 in anything other than personals should have been addressed. Does it really bother you that a boss had something positive to say about his district's stats? I don't care if it's contact cards, city service requests, or arrests...the fact is he had a positive attitude when he addressed the troops which is too uncommon these days and could be one of the many reasons why morale is in the toilet. Anyone who WORKS for him knows he acknowledges and respects the working police. And to clarify, no I don't mean just writing contact cards.

THAT was a stupid idea from the start! A backwards intrusive search at the very least. Many have done some stupid things in their youth, and a tattoo is not definitive proof...it easily could have been false bravado and 'wanting' to viewed as tough. Additionally, some are applied out of necessity so you can walk through the neighborhood. And finally, some can be chalked up to youthful indiscretion, a bad choice with regret, and a changed life. Not everything done at the age of 13 is an indictment for life. If you really knew anything about gangs, you would know this. We didn't all grow up the same way, but by the time we became adults there are some value systems we all have in common... tattoo or not!
on the subject of vasquez that f-king reporter should get his facts straight, i was there on the scene and it was two females that responded on the ambulance and not a male, that asshole that's covered up is just feeding feeding smoke to the reporter. and the reason why we always keep custody of any injured p.o. belongings is so that u assholes in the fire dept wont steal them. dont believe the conspiracy bs, who ever did it, just hasnt been caught yet
Lodding sucks--- Worked with him in 021... unless you kiss his a$$ or toot his horn... your doomed.....He used to brag about being #1 in contact cards in the city! Point proven

*******************************************************
You poor miserable useless fuck. Lodding asked of you to write a few contact cards? It's guys like you that give us a bad name. Quit being so fucking lazy.
Lodding is a class act and a great leader. I sure hope that this is true. He would be an immediate asset to the dept's future.

Capt. from 005 now is going to be the commander of the academy. Tobias lateral transfer.
2/09/2009 10:43:00 PM
Wait which Capt. TM or RW?
2/10/2009 03:27:00 AM
Most likely RW, Ginger has been trying to find her a spot for a while. She did not get 22.
Howard Lodding was never a merit Supervisor????? That seems to be a stretch and completely untrue. Lodding was promoted to Sgt in 1998. That is a fact. That means in less than 11 years he went from PO to ADS. The last time I checked there isn't a test for DC or ADS. I don't know if he was a merit Sgt or LT. That facts are simple merit is the only way to make it past the rank of LT.
Tobias was a Sgt at the academy when Lodding was still a PO at the academy. I really don't think you can get to the academy without help (phone call).
I'm not going to say a bad thing about either of these bosses. Tobias is not a bad guy if you know him. He simply has not spent alot of time in the patrol division at least at the district level. Lodding is guy who took this job on whim. Lodding was a laborer or plumber before this job. He has turned that whim into quite a windfall. Thats not a bad thing. He is a nice guy and not half as arrogant as most bosses on this job.
Howie Loddy baby is sexy. I would work for him anyday.
I think those on this post who keep saying how good, great, cool, etc. some of these SGTS, LTS, and CAPTS are, is being monitored by those moron bosses who will see to it that they don't go anywhere COOL! I think we should tone this down until one of these COOL bosses makes SUPT! Being good to the troops is not in vogue now! "Be vary, vary quiet, we lookin for good wabbits!"
You my friend, are a DUMBASS!
Howard Lodding was never a meritorious promotion. I knew him as a P.O., Sgt., Lt., Commander and A.D.S. You will not find a better "man" or "boss" out there!
Are you telling me he made SGT, LT, and then CO on his own? In the City of Chicago? They use to say that about BRECZEK after he made Supt! #1 on the SGT, LT, and CAPT exams! Buy lottery tickets! I guess the odds ain't that bad!
The guy photographing police stations is some douchebag with a lawsuit against the city because he got locked up trespassing in a police station lot. He's trying to prove there are no signs that say "no trespassing." He may have a case...
You don't necessarily need signs. you only have to tell them once to leave and if they don't it's trespassing. No case.
We have an Academy?

2/10/2009 06:00:00 AM
the guy being interviewed wasn't a paramedic. watch the interview again. i got the feeling he was another copper.
anyway, the point this guy makes is, that his wallet, star, gun, cell phone, and jewelery were all still on the scene. if the dicks or whoever is claiming it was a robbery gone bad, all or some of these things should be missing.
i wonder, if the offenders never got away with any of these items, and they were taken in custody by another officer, were they ever returned to the family? if they are being held as evidence, then the family should have gotten an inventory receipt, right? at least there would be a record of it being inventoried in case file.
HMMMMM......... Tobias, worked in SOS as a Patrolman, Sgt. LT. and then the coveted spot as Commander......... He also was a homeroom Sgt. and Range Sgt. in the Academy. ALL pretty cushy CLOUT heavy spots. He was there from beginning to end from patrolman on up for all the thieving going on with the Finnegan scandal. He actually would have the audacity to come to our watch, berate us and calls us the "dog watch" for not being like his buddy and super cop Jerry Finegan and their watch. Our watch would shake our heads in disbelief........... We all knew something shady was going on,but didn't know quite what it was.. Only those is the KNOW did. cough cough Tobias!!!! Tobias sucked up to Lt Blake, and was fully aware of what was going on, on their watch, and only looked at the numbers of our watch. How could you not??? He was the Commander..... Our watch did it the old fashioned way with good old fashioned police work bringing in the heads, guns and dope. Hence why are numbers couldn't compare to their's or for that matter their teams...... This is not watch envy by any means. There were plenty of good HONEST old fashioned coppers on their watch, that steered clear of Finnegan and his merry band of thieves....
He buried the HBT Lt. Bosse, when he became Commander, and buried a prince of a Lt, Lt. Baranowski. Both retired, when Tobias became Commander of SOS, forced out basically. Those that helped him and his career. He returned th favor in kind and bit the hands that fed him. Snake!
I would bet my next paycheck, that Finnegan is singing like a bird, he is giving up the bosses in SOS. It really wouldn't look good now, if the ADS and person in control of the Chicago Police Academy and recruit training who spent most of his career in SOS, was the immediate supervisor in many different uniforms there in SOS, and signed off on all those CR #'s and then tries to state he had NO KNOWLEDGE of the situation....... Shit is going to finally roll up hill on this one. I wonder which other supervisor's heads are going to roll on this one??? Anyone up for a pool of who goes down too?
Gee, I sure do wonder Matt, is your wife (Matt Rodriguez's NIECE) going to get you out of the biggest screw up of your career?? Oh right, the biggest screw up of your career was becoming the police. You should have stayed a hockey coach, maybe they would have believed all your Marine war stories........ You are a disgrace to the Marine's and to the CPD. Thanks in advance for the newest black eye heading our way.

2/10/2009 12:31:00 AM
Hey DUmbASS yourself:
Never a meritorious promotion. Can you tell me where I get the application package for Commander or ADS???
NO reflection on the man himself; but look at what you just wrote & tell me how Commander or ADS is not a merit promotion? You have a 7/10 chance of being a Sergeant and a 7/10 chance of being a Lieutenant legitimately, ALL other supervisory spots/ranks are 'meritcloutorious'
SSC CLOSE THE ACADEMY AND SEND ALL THE RECRUITS TO THE ARIZONA STATE POLICE ACADEMY IN PHOENIX. DID A TOUR THERE WHEN I WAS ON VACATION YOU TALK ABOUT A KICK ASS PROFESSIONAL ACADEMY . ALSO TOTAL MILITARY BEARING. ALSO HAVE ALL RECRUITS ASSIGNED TO THE MIGHT SEISER. SEISER STILL RUNS IT.
Out Source the Training Division? Give someone else control over Chicago Recruits? Give up the money paid by the Suburbs to school their recruits? What kind of power do people think J-Fed has? No way, ain't gonna happen. As far as hating on the Academy , 35th/st or anyone else outside of patrol, grow up. If the City hired as is needed there would not be a problem with manpower anywhere. This is a Daley made crisis. Like the Military not every member is out on a combat mission. There's other job's that must be done making it possible for gunts to go out and hunt.
THAT was a stupid idea from the start! A backwards intrusive search at the very least. Many have done some stupid things in their youth, and a tattoo is not definitive proof.
-------------------
I said it before.
Gangs are the future of this department. Any decent kid in this city who valued his education and has a good work ethic would be OUT OF HIS MIND to take this job.
The local Catholic High School connection with this department is severed.
The future of this department are the lower level gang recruits who managed to make it through high school without getting caught with a pack or a pistol. All his friends are gang bangers and he'll fit right in the new CPD.
The thugs and thug wannabes they are currently hiring are going to be on this job for the next TWENTY YEARS!
In 10 years, the Superintendent of this place will be a "former" gang member who is "not responsible" for the multiple crimes his family commits around the city.
You heard it here first.
We didn't all grow up the same way,
------------
No we didn't. But it's no use crying about it because it's your and your hommies' city now.
Have at it. I'm sure you'll do wonders with the place. In a short time, I'll be thousands of miles away.
If Tobias hadn't kicked me out of his district years back for his hockey buddy, I'd never had had the pleasure of later working for Lodding.
Lodding was great to work for in 021. Wish I'd done a better job for him.
Cant think of one name that signifies the contempt that I have for the Clout Idiot "Leaders" that we have on this dept more than the name of Matt T
R.I.P. JOSE WE STILL THINK ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD. GOD BLESS MY FRIEND.

Here's a good one,
J-Fed and his FBI staff are currently looking to outsource the police academy. They are currently speaking to the Cook County Sheriff and the State Police Academy's. The cities cost for training will be less and it will lessen the cities liabilities. Additionally it will (supposedly) put the clout heavy academy staff back into patrol where we are hurting for manpower. Just wait and see, negotiations are under way. This will take place under J-Feds command.
2/10/2009 02:38:00 AM
All bullshit. County wants nothing to do with CPD. State has their own academy and cannot operate two academies. By state law we must maintain a regional academy. They could share resources but no one likes how CPD does training. State has their own system.

Say goodbye to the hockey players. No more hiding for the special people. No more bed rest employees.
You should not have to be asked to do work. You do work because that is your job; or you see crime or it is necessary for you well-being, intergerity. Any boss who has to ask someone to work isn't a very good boss. If you like what your doing and who your doing it for no questions asked. So there merit Loding! He has not earned his respect nor his rank!!!
Bitch please! The only "Point" you have is under your hat. Go suck off the new boss, see where that gets you. He was a hell of a lot more fair than Doty!
------------------------------------
And to all the other comments about how great Lodding is... YOU ARE IDIOTS. He is just like every other boss out there who will throw you under a bus if you DONT DO WHAT HE WANTS--- he is NO different. my whole point about the contact card thing was not that I did not want to write them I love working---but come on 021 is a fucking joke.. FUCKING JOKE... FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING joke!!!
Police Academy being sold to private industry, great idea. How about the old Jones Commercial School.
Well, I hope that Lodding clamps down on the free ride at the academy, all those that come to work out and then go home afterwards.
Or on the only CPD employee is is allowed by M. Tobias to "work from home" A. C-H needs to stop ghostpayrolling and report to work like the rest of the CPD do!
What a scam she has going! It's called felony theft and everyone, the ADS M.T. and his entire office staff need to be worried about the "covering" that they have been doing for A. C-H (administrative manager) who "works from home" = more like working from Utica, Illinois! When she does show up at the academy, she only works a couple of hours and is gone home.
I hope that some reporter, inspector, iad, or inspector general look into this theft.
The rest of us that show up for work every day are tired of this.

It doesn't matter who runs the academy the problem lies with who the city is hiring. If the city keeps sending the academy shit heads and dummies, it won't matter who runs the place because you can't turn a thug into a police officer. I remember when I applied for the job we had to draw a picture of every tatoo we had on the blank pages in the application packet. I didn't have any, so I left them blank. Now I understand they don't do that anymore on the applications (probably because some lawyer sued) so now the gang members don't have to show their gang tatoo's until they are hired. If anyone was ever a gang member they should never be allowed in law enforcement PERIOD!! Isn't that who we're fighting against? Gang, Guns and drugs, right?

Holy cow Mr. Dumb ass! First of all the poster was talking about gang tatoo's so pay attention! It Looks like you come from the school of "no personal responsibility." Your're the typical liberal always making an excuse for bad behavior and blaming someone else for the things you have done. Everyone is a victim, right? I know the neighborhood made him get the tatoo and join the gang even though he always wanted to be the police. It's looks like you're not the police because you have no idea what the poster was talking about. No go back to your corner and act like a shit head!

ruth wedster detailed to the academy, and Jim O'Donnel will take over afternoons in the meantime. Since Ruth is detailed they dont have to fill the spot or else terry williams would be jumping to get over there

And, who would you rather be partnered with? Who would you trust to invite them into your home to visit your family? I for one will never work with a former gangbanger. Fuck the gangs and anyone affiliated with them. I chose to live a life of honest and hard work. I never tried drugs or hung out with any gangs. I had after school jobs and after graduation went into the work force full time 6 days a week. This is what I chose. Just like the rest of those assholes who were or are still affiliated with gangs, that's their choice. I will NEVER trust a former gang member with anything.

There are many fools that will follow him. He did a great job in academy and in 017. His problem is he is a natural leader and not clouted. He does not kiss ass and takes care of his personnel. That does not fit the mold from 35th street. 017 now has mealer. Great choice.

The Baran was/is a Prince. A cops cop all the way. He stood there with his troops, he was a fair boss, easy to get along with, with an open door policy. He lent an ear, a shoulder and a hand out to EVERYONE on his watch.
It was disgusting and disheartening to see what Tobias did to him.
Tobias brought in his cronie's to run, HBT, a new "under qualified" LAPA meritorious LT to run our watch, who went on to be the HBT Lt........ Why? You and I and all the other's in SOS knew, because it was his old partner, not because he was qualified. There was an interim LT for a bit, a nice guy, but just a fill in until he could get "his guy" in there.
Tobias........ You should be having nightmare's right about now. Your time is coming buddy, far to late for alots liking, but coming nonetheless.

By the way it is my business, I am a taxpayer and not CPD.
I know her from the neighborhood! (That's how stupid she is, she likes to brag about her ghostpayrolling, Asshat!)
It's very true. Went to 08-03 graduation on 10 feb and it was confirmed then. Too bad!!

I don't think so. I believe there was a CR issued.
THAT was a stupid idea from the start! A backwards intrusive search at the very least. Many have done some stupid things in their youth, and a tattoo is not definitive proof...it easily could have been false bravado and 'wanting' to viewed as tough. Additionally, some are applied out of necessity so you can walk through the neighborhood. And finally, some can be chalked up to youthful indiscretion, a bad choice with regret, and a changed life. Not everything done at the age of 13 is an indictment for life. If you really knew anything about gangs, you would know this. We didn't all grow up the same way, but by the time we became adults there are some value systems we all have in common... tattoo or not!

Thanks for the sociology lesson Dr. Phil. But fuck you and your weak-minded peer pressure excuses. There are plenty of people who made the right choices at the right time. CPD doesn't need someone like you.

Really? And how did you get out of the gang? Did you take a beat down. Avoid the old neighborhood? Family send you down south to get out of the city for awhile? Listen, pal, there are good guys and bad guys. There are people that will always choose the right thing over the wrong thing and they grow up to be police officers. CPD does not need "former" or rehabilitated bangers. It doesn't need people who may feel loyalty to the wrong people at the wrong time. It doesn't need people who have values that are malleable or twist and turn depending on their environment. Sounds like you fucked up and now you don't want to live with it. You were a gutless follower then and are probably a follower now. You should have had more character and made better choices. The problem with the world today is that there is no shame anymore, no repercussions for poor behavior. No concern for reputation. Everybody wants to do whatever they want and not have to be accountable for that behavior. And that's the problem. Too much respect, help and hand outs given to losers and people that can't or won't carry their weight. Pretty soon you have bums who think they deserve respect, people who want to sit on their lazy asses deserve welfare and former gangbangers that think the CPD doesn't have a right to question their past or tats. You have to stand for something. And you have to do it early on and consistently. Once society starts making excuses for people, it's fucked. And I think that's become pretty obvious in the last ten or fifteen years.
Go find yourself another job. One that doesn't require so much integrity. It'll probably be much less taxing on your brain.

Well...I submitted a retort to the obviously one-sided frame of thought that has been posted by several of you. In the retort, I said that SCC would not post it, and I was correct! For those that want to stay 'lost' in the wilderness...stay! Your minds will not allow you to see outside the box...and the box? The box is not an allowance for reformed gang members...nor is it an allowance for current gang members. Just because YOU 'Think' someone was or is a gang member doesn't make it so. And you're suppose to be investigators?
Post further if you will...I will not return additional comment.

She just had a baby ***hat. And mind your own business. Network once in awhile and maybe you too can have a clout job inside.

3 months off before she had the baby. Ghost payroll is a crime in case you are confused. Offer the same privilege to other female officers in need. Network or kiss ass? Maybe play hockey? Interesting how the management will be quick to defend her. I wonder why?

Wow, this is one rumor that is true! Or at least was when I worked there. Not sure about the last 3 mos, but someone should look into the last few years. If the media or Inspector General (hint,hint) were to investigate, it would be proven fact. Other Dept members have to take unpaid FMLA time for maternity. It's just not right for them to throw it in the face of every other woman in the Dept who didn't "work from home" on maternity.
Under MET, the academy turned into Scamalot. So, the antics of the A.Mgr. is business as usual for the chosen ones. She, however, has been doing this for her entire career. Networking? That's just another word for the quid-pro-quo schmooze used by a con artist like her. A stand-up front office may just set things right. Time will tell...

Well, one can only hope that this practice stops and all are held accountable for this major theft.
As long as I have know this A. C-H, she has been unable to report to work on a regular basis. Was written up years ago.
I understand that Sgt. Joe D. helped her out and covered for her. Then it went to MET and his front office staff, Sgt. Po's and timekeeper.
Those actions just enabled her to continue her theft.
Someone needs to be held accountable.
Ghost payroll thing really pisses me off. I know exactly who you are talking about. There were other women there who were pregnant and worked until the end.
Anyone wonder what makes people get promoted up the ladder repeatedly even after they screw up? I see some of you anxiously awaiting the promotion exams not realizing they are nothing more than lottery tickets! The essay questions are the way they get rid of the bright, talented but cloutless individuals so they can put "their" people in! No scores publicly displayed only proves this theory! We just don't get it! It is 2010 now and nothing ever changes! This blog continues to list the exempts, their wards, their "clout" whether it be political or family connections and we all continue to just laugh about it! We are the fools! Then, we spend the rest of our life kowtowing to them in order to survive! Pathetic, isn't it!
