Jarmusz. Don't be fooled by 021. He made Lt. and went straight to the gun team. He's never done a day as a watch commmander. More than half the list a slap in the face to the Lt.s that have been the acting wc's. But then, they've made the mistake of spending their careers in district law enforcement. And they wonder why morale is so low.

I have to say the list is interesting. Congrats to all, but especially 1) Lupe Pena - a by the book boss, takes care of you if you are a worker. 2) Leo Panepinto - spent years as a Sgt in Patrol, class act, is the police, 3) Dave McNaughton - 8 for 8 kinda guy, he supervised me in Patrol many times, Very nice man, and is up front about following the rules, 4) Ron Pontecore - was a good gang Sgt in 025, and was a field LT all over the city, I may not see eye to eye with his opinions, but he treated me fairly. So outta 15 of them I personally worked in Patrol for four. Two were by the book, two are class acts and one is competent. Figure the odds. I would work for any of them again at the drop of a hat, but then again I make the best of any PATROL assignment I have. Again Congrats

He looks down on blue shirts as if his shit don't stink. Try doing an "investigation" with this retard, know it all prick. Hopefully he'll be the Captain of 1st watch at 311 callback like when he first made Lt. Oh wait, he went on the medical for a year to avoid that. Do what I say, not what I do.

2 picks from Narcotics??? Navarro maybe assigned to Narcotics but he doesn't work there. There are only 3 Lts in 189 (Dunn, Fletcher, and Cervenka). Fletcher has been in Narcotics as a Lt for less than a period. He just transfered in. Smoke and mirrors being used in units.

I did notice plenty of units represented. Thats wrong. The patrol division should be better represented.

I still want to know how they can come up with Captains names in about 6 weeks, (you know, reading thier resumes and interviewing each of the three references that each had to put down and such); but you can't get your answers to a scan-tron like sergeants test until MONTHS later.

Seems like the list was already made, just waiting for the chosen to get their resumes in. But remember its all legit.

You must be a jealous hating prick because you sure don't know what your talking abt. Pontecore, is actually one of the few "real police out there. He's always taken care of his guys, from being a Sgt. in 15 and 25 to moving up the ranks in 17 and so forth.

You must be newer on the job and only had him in the academy. He, unlike many, is one that deserves Congrats on the Promotion. So unless you actually worked for him, and know what your talking about, then keep your mouth shut because you make yourself look like an ass.

Two Chicago police officers were fired and a third was suspended in separate decisions released today by the Chicago Police Board.
John Dellorto was fired for using another officer's pass code to alter department computer data to inflate the number of arrests and awards he received over two years, according to the board's decision. The officer testified he did it as a joke, one he later regretted.

John Krupa III was fired for disobeying orders when he left a police station with a personal bag that a dog trained to detect drugs had alerted on during an earlier search of his car.

Linda Brumfield was suspended for seven months for pushing a towing company employee while off-duty after the company refused to waive a towing fee for her friend's towed car.

Has anyone noticed the control gates, that have been put in place at every entrance to the Kennedy Expressway?

IDOT claims they enable the cutoff of incoming traffic to the Loop, without the additional useage of PO's. This would allow both sides of the expressway to be used, to evacuate downtown in an emergency situation.

The emergency situation could be a terror related situation, nature related or large scale unrest with burning buildings and looting. This is there definition, not mine. I must admit it sounds like the premise to martial law.

Ironically, these entrance controls extend all the way up 94 throughout Wisconsin. I doubt that they are needed in Wisconsin to evacuate downtown Chicago.

Spy cameras are posted every 1/4 of a mile now too. This is for your own good and for your safety.

The 16th District CAPS officers will drive around 016 handing out free homeless kits to bums and winos.

I love Socialism, take my tax money and buy bums toiletries and encourage more of them to loiter in 016.

These piss bums aren't stupid they go where the police don't hassle them and where there is a lot to thieve, steal, rob and take.

Let me think here- RON Made you do your job when you wanted to be a dog... So cry like a little bitch now...
Congrats to CAPT. Pontecore! Ron was NEVER a dog! When he was a Sgt he never was a office house mouse Sgt but instead hit the streets every day with his men. When he made Lt. - he made it a point to ride on "HOT" calls and got his hands in many a fight while wearing a white shirt & bars! He went to the academy & he dumped the dead weight over there and made the dogs work or get out. Ron will make a great Boss. I can tell you this - he's not afraid to get in your face & tell you like it is! He hates DOGs on this job - so it's good for this department to have a CAPT. with some balls. So to the coward poster....your a little whinning bitch! Better yet- grow some balls and tell Ron to his face!

one could say that: 1) who cares, anyway?; 2) lt's don't make captain without clout, political or organizational connections; whether they are "experienced or competent" is beside the point; some who apply (but aren't chosen) are in fact just as competent, or more so, but they don't have the connections; some (who are experienced and competent) who do not apply do not, or will not, "play the organizational game"....such is life; off topic, though, anyone see the report that the USOC head resigned (supposedly putting Chicago's 2016 Olympic bid "behind", so to speak); good news for those who don't want the Olympics in Chicago...

being "long in the tooth", as they say, this capt's stuff reminds me of what some used to say about all of this....1) the male whites are "deep on the bench" (i.e., capts and lts, and otherwise exceptionally qualified) but who can't get to the next level (exempts),. because of the "necessary" racial/gender/political balance....; 2) capt was the "consolation prize" for lts who were "loyal", but for "other considerations" (political/gender/political affiliations/"past problems", etc."), could not be promoted to an exempt (i.e., Commander) position....and for those who might presently occupy an exempt position, whose past behaviors, at least in a private corporation, would warrant demotion and/or dismissal, they enjoy what amounts to be organizational and political (Democratic party) immunity....what a country!

I have to say the list is interesting. Congrats to all, but especially 1) Lupe Pena - a by the book boss, takes care of you if you are a worker. 2) Leo Panepinto - spent years as a Sgt in Patrol, class act, is the police, 3) Dave McNaughton - 8 for 8 kinda guy, he supervised me in Patrol many times, Very nice man, and is up front about following the rules, 4) Ron Pontecore - was a good gang Sgt in 025, and was a field LT all over the city, I may not see eye to eye with his opinions, but he treated me fairly. So outta 15 of them I personally worked in Patrol for four. Two were by the book, two are class acts and one is competent. Figure the odds. I would work for any of them again at the drop of a hat, but then again I make the best of any PATROL assignment I have. Again Congrats

being "long in the tooth", as they say, this capt's stuff reminds me of what some used to say about all of this....1) the male whites are "deep on the bench" (i.e., capts and lts, and otherwise exceptionally qualified) but who can't get to the next level (exempts),. because of the "necessary" racial/gender/political balance....; 2) capt was the "consolation prize" for lts who were "loyal", but for "other considerations" (political/gender/political affiliations/"past problems", etc."), could not be promoted to an exempt (i.e., Commander) position....and for those who might presently occupy an exempt position, whose past behaviors, at least in a private corporation, would warrant demotion and/or dismissal, they enjoy what amounts to be organizational and political (Democratic party) immunity....what a country!

OPEN LETTER WEIS

I was a big supporter of you. I went to your meetings with the supervisors and actually believed you when you talked about promotions. You acknowledged that Patrol was under represented and gave excuses like "those picks done prior to your getting hired".


You said things were going to change. Clout wouldn't be part of the promotional process any more.

After seeing that list, I realized I was wrong. You're full of shit!!

Only 6 out of 15 are from patrol and even one of the 6 is a lie. That Lt has NEVER WORKED ONE DAY as a field Lt or W/C. He went right from Lt school to A/1.

Men and women that have been doing the job every day as acting W/C are not qualified to be a Captain.

I supported you and defended you at my roll calls. I REALLY believed that you were trying to make things better.

NO MORE!

When it comes to clout Dave Jarmuz , doest have some. There is a huge difference with him though. In his 30 + years on the job he spent almost all of his time chasing an catching criminals that most of you brave anonymous assholes would pass by (on the way to lunch, got to go to blockbuster and return videos, or just scared) then as you stand in 7-11 talking with other heroes about how much the job sucks and that after a couple whopping felony arrests you paper jumped on, that you’ve done your time and that you anit gonna do shit no more.

Ok, here my take on this ( for what it's worth); When is the administration of this department going to get it through their heads that leadership at the watch level makes all the difference.

This has nothing to do with JFed, there are people in the know or should know better. You have to look at whose smart, which one has been there and has identified with the troops. A guy (or chick) that is respected...cops know where you came from!

Only two good guys snuck in -
Gene Dembowski 011
Leo Panepinto 012


These 7 are out of the loop people, sure some may be good guys, smart and organized... but we are looking for Capt's...watch commanders! These guys have no clue what’s going on in the head of a 23 yr old copper that’s been on beat car for the past 3 years…sure some of these names worked on a watch 10 years ago…”Flash” : Shit has changed!

Christopher Fletcher 189
Kevin Navarro 189
Laurel Bresnahan 620
David McNaughton 142
Dennis Walsh 177
Brian Daly 188
Lupe Pena 126


4 names are the painful ones you see on every list, WTF! were they thinking... these 4 will do more harm to alienate the front line officer than anything, and their reputations and the process that got them on the list will taint many more cops ( even those that don’t work for these goofs)

James Jones 620
David Jarmusz Gangs
Anthony Ceja
Ronald Pontecore


In all honesty don’t know the last two (sign of being an Old School Guy)

By the way,
What's up with the slam on guys not coming from the Districts? Sgts and Lts who are Unit C.O.'s work 2 to 3 times harder and put in more hours than any patrol supervisors, and yes, I've worked both in Units and in Patrol. Most of their overtime goes unpaid. They sometimes get a car, so what? So, you officers and supervisors in Patrol don't want to have a boss who has a greater amount of experience running a unit, who may be able to use that experience to help you, or maybe, just maybe, recommend some of you for future unit spots? I keep hearing this party line being repeated about Unit guys, and for the record, it's all crap. We all know how tough a Field Lieutenant's job is, or isn't, and believe it or not, most of those Field Lts don't want a unit job or can't do a unit job. They would just rather work their short day, or maybe sit in for the Captain and grab some out-of grade. Congrats to ALL the new Captains, no matter where you are from, In more than two decades on this job, this is the best list I've ever seen.

I'm just sayin'.

Thank James Jackson for this last promotion. Completely fucks up every place he ever goes. God help the poor saps who gets him now.

Thank God I was not on the Captain's list. I do not want my name sullied about by being associated with that type of people. I have no clout and don't suck dick and refuse to take it in the ass unless at the point of a gun. Thus I do not deserve to be promoted to Captain.

Also I am a patrolman.

I am grateful to remain a patrolman and intend on doing so for another few years. I will walk away form this place with my good name intact and not tarnished in any way by being associated with any merit promotion.

I came on this job figuring to be a blue shirt my whole career and so far I have not been disappointed. I would not want a promotion at this point, except for the bump in pension. But that would mean midnights somewhere because no clout, remember. so I would have to use up lots of medical time. Better off with no promotion. It is easier to wear my blue shirt with coffee and jelly donut stains than a white shirt with same.

Life is so simple and easy if you don't aim too high in a corrupt environment.

Fletcher isn't politically connected. Real decent guy, not clout. There aren't many black Lts. on this Dept., so the powers that be didn't have that many to choose from.

It's true Jarmusz went straight to Area One as the gang lt. when hen was promoted, but that was only after several other Patrol Lts. turned it down because as they put it... "They didn't want to work those hours" or "Its too much responsiblilty" Hudek from 009 lasted what a couple of periods ??? Said it was too tough !!! awww ... so they gave it to Jarmusz ... true he is hyper at times, but he is a hard worker especially with the time he has got on the job ... so Good luck "Musz" I remember you from Gangs ... I hope some of the whiners get you and you make them do their job ...

I left the academy last year and was sick of the abuses by staff members. Name one dog that RP dumped from the academy? He protected any friend of Tobias sent to him. He did dump and hard working sgt for a friend of his who is questionable. He lost touch with his staff. He will make a excellent captain in a district. He is a leader on motivates working police. Time for him to move from the academy. Anyways, they are purging Tobias people. If I ever return to a district, I would work for him.

What good would it do for that officer to face him? RP is promoted and soon assigned to a district. Time for a change. Let it go. I bet if you asked RP, he would admit a change was necessary. RP really needs a street command and leave the academy. I feel for the staff he protected at the academy. A promotion he really deserves after carrying Tobias for years. Good luck RP.

RP will be a very effective leader in a district. He really wants out of the training unit after working for MT. RP is a skilled street officer and sergeant. His talents are wasted in the training unit. Change is necessary and he needs a change. His crew at the training unit is scared they might have to work now. Oh well! Big changes coming to training.

Because they pay a LT. at the Captains rate for every watch where there is no Lt. All 75 watches have someone making Captains pay at all times. Six of one 1/2 dozen of the other, as they say.

I worked for Dave for a couple of years on Mids in A/2. He was one of the better bosses I have ever worked for. He would back you up and even go out with you if you were looking for someone. I wasn't a ball of fire but did my job. the only people who did not like him were dogs. If you did your job he backed you up when needed and left you alone. Any district who gets him will be very lucky because he has no problem telling bosses higher up how he feels.

I've got just one question for each of the asst supt's and dept supts. Did any of you read one single application for Cpt. These asst and dept's are the ones who pick the Cpts. District Law enforcement Lt.s work long and hard on their applications, which will never be read, ever. Go ahead, ask any of the upper bosses who make the picks to look you in the eye and say they reviewed the applications. Never mind, they can all look you in the eye and lie all day long, or they wouldn't be where there at in the first place.

There's nothing he can do to me because there is nothing I want from him. If you are some suck ass who wants to work on the A1 gun team and do nothing but suck ass the rest of his career, that's someone who wants something. That's someone they can make do things.
