Politics at HQ
From a fly on the wall:
- No more promotions this year, including Detectives. Supposedly Peterson flipped his top at hearing this, seeing as how the clearance rate is tanking and the D-unit is allegedly more poorly manned (percentage wise) that the Patrol Division. A proposal is floating around to cancel all detective details to outside task forces, but it's considered a long shot
- Our favorite Elton John fan has made her THIRD appearance at IAD this past week. Brust isn't happy about being middled by Ruthie and is making waves. It seems the answers to certain questions are being "massaged" and even recanted outright. Rule 14 violations?
You can bet that 35th Street is more than happy about today being the announcement for the Olympics. All their problems will be buried in the aftermath of celebrations or mourning.

There has not been a detective class made since December 2007. This is another example of trying to do more with less. I highly doubt detectives will be pulled from their details....the reason they are in a detail to begin with is because they have clout.
D-Unit is in dire need of bodies to handle the case load.. but who cares? the eye is not on the ball, its on the Olympics!!!
Is it just me our has there been a secret detective class since 2007?
Does anyone remember when J-dork promised 90 sgt promotions at the start of this year? Has one single thing this guy ever PROMISED come true?
That's just great. I put my life on hold studying for the sgt test and get a damn good score and now it looks like i'll never get the promo. They've only made 110 off the list so far in about 3 years. What the hell? Why even bother. It's just so deflating getting your hopes up and working/studying hard and doing everything the right and legit way and then to get no reward for it. It just sucks.
you literally have no one to blame but yourselves.
is your paycheck so powerful you'll be their bitches?
who has the real power?
duh
Ernest Brown was one of 44 sergeants who filed suit in 1994 against the city of Chicago. They claimed written tests required for promotions to lieutenant discriminated against minorities.
If you think the clearance rate is tanking now, just wait. With no help on the way, just Suspend everything. If 35th street doesn't care, neither do we. Peterson will never cancel the details to outside agencies. Where do you think he spent the majority of his detective career? The FBI task force.
Gee, SCC, October 2nd, and your blog mentions the BIG Olympic announcement only once on your posts for today?
"You can bet that 35th Street is more than happy about today being the announcement for the Olympics."
What gives?
I can only guess you'll have an added post later on.
Holy crap! I never made that many trips to IAD in my whole career!
Go Rio, oh yeah.
Rio has Chicago's yearly murder totals each month! I read that the police in Rio shoot an average of three people per day!
And some politician in Brazil, either the president or the mayor of Rio was on TV explaining this by saying "they aren't murdering the tourists."
My money just went to Madrid or Tokyo.
FUCK THE OLYMPICS !!!!!
FUCK DALEY!!!!!
FUCK JODI !!!!!!
Jeez, it must really be another wholesale embarassment to the WEISel/Masters Solidarity team to have promoted such a dimwit to the command staff. Rugai should lose re-election for this.
The upside:
At least Cmdr Tarmac isn't running 022, although things can't get much worse there either.
Who is protecting Ruthie? She is laying low at the academy. No one talks to her. Does anyone have the nerve to make a decision?
Peterson is such a f*%king idiot!
In 2008 there were 1,205 detectives. In 2009 there are 1,116 detectives of that number the breakdown is as follows 610 has 186, 620 has 203, 630 has 152, 640 has 154 and 650 has 179. Giving a total of 874 in the five areas. Where are 242 detectives at? No wonder the clearance rate is going down.
Got to love that exempt clout. They can get away with anything.
There are way too many bosses in CPD who don't do shit or know shit.
Not only is the D unit short, A/5 is a joke, to bad a GREAT Commander had to inherit the 3rd watch hgs sgts. A/5 is not were people are treated like adults.
Re fed details:
The details to the feds are scams anyway. They get OT for just sitting around for a couple hours in their home unit after doing their "8" (and that's a joke) playing on the internet. Sit around talk, do nothing..All out of the taxpayer's pocket. Then they try to get their name on your arrest to get "credit" with the feds. You gotta look like you are doing something for all that time you're "working", right? The Sgts are in on it for a piece of the pie, usually a fed car, badge or something. They beef up the reports to look like their chosen are really working hard, auditing should take a closer look. Very scandelous. Bring 'em back so they could sit back and do nothing at the city taxpayer's expense. That's what they are good at.

The only thing the city cares about is the murder rate. No one outside the department even knows or cares what the clearance rate is. And after we get the olympics today the city wont care about the murder rate anymore anyway. The ship is sunk. You just have to figure out how long you want to drown for.
Peterson is such a f*%king idiot!

Hey that's my dad go easy on him. He's smart enough to put me where I need to be, so that I can run this dept in a few years.
Signed
M. "Supercop" Peterson
You're telling me I'm not getting the phone for a bump up to commander? That fucking lying piece of shit politician took the envelope and said your good to go. I didn't realize he was refering to leaving his office.
This is bullshit almost 2 years and no detective. That pax 501 jody put out in january is total bullshit the fop should file a class action lawsuit regarding promotions and how the police department falsely put out a pax 501 detailing the amount of promotions that would occur for year 2009. Ie sgts dets lts ......fop get some balls if not the officers that are awaiting this promotion should get together and file and cry foul. If it worked for the minorities in 1994 it should work for the legitimate police men and women that deserve this promotion and are waiting two years for their number to be called. But then again this is shitcago and everything is about the race crybabies!!! I want my promotion that I earned legitimately!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peterson is such a f*%king idiot!
10/02/2009 06:50:00 AM
Probably Spoken by a cry baby who opens their mouth without knowing the guy. Say what you want, but the man always looked out for his workers. If you're one of the dogs than you're too blame. Peterson would put 1,000 more Dets if it was his call. Its not even Weis' call! It's all downtown - 5th floor.
MAY BE WE CAN GET THE DICK BACK FROM:
THE FED BANK ROBBERY TASK FORCE. LET THEM HIRE RETIRED DICKS IF THEY NEED MANPOWER.
THE MEMORIAL FOUNDATION U KNOW WHO U ARE CUTIE PIE WORKING ON THE TAX PAYER DIME FOR FUND-RAISING!
HEADQUARTER PULLING STATS CMON AT LEAST PRETEND U GUYS R DICKs.
THE FUSION CENTER OR WHATEVER THE NAME OF THE DAY IS. ALL U DO IS DATA ENTRY AND PULL INFO WHAT DO U INVESTIGATE.
VIDEO GUYS AT TRAINING ACADEMY OVERPAYING A DICK TO SET UP SCREEN FOR OUTSIDE SPEAKERS.
PROCESSING YOUTHS! MAKE THIS JOB A D2A PAY SPOT ALREADY U DONT NEED DICKS TO COUNT UP POINTS FOR THE AUDY HOME.
PETERSON U CLAIM TO BE ALL MILITARY LIKE, SHOW UR STRIPES ALREADY PULL THE TRIGGER B-CUZ FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND U GUYS KEEP PULLING ALL THOSE MULTIPLE CLEARANCES W/ OUT CONTACTING THE STATE/ CALLING THE VICTIM/ OR EVEN REFERENCING THE CASES TO EACH OTHER/
BEING SLICK WILL BITE U IN THE ASS... R NUMBER ARE BETTER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE... WAKE U ALL U SUPER STAR DICK WHEN THE INDICT FOR FALSE REPORTS WHITE SHIRTS WILL ALWAYS SAY I NEVER ASKED THEM TO DO THAT.
Leave PETERSON out of this. This comes from city hall! With all the budget cuts there is no way that they will be paying for promotions. Yes the D-Unit is short very short and that is what is accounting for the 70% rise in overtime.
The Skull has done nothing to turn morale around on this Dept. anyway.
What a two-faced skunk he has turned out to be.
Will the SOS Scandal go full turn now that the Olympics selection is finished?

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I've been playing the good little soldier for what seems like an eternity, and no promotion for me either. I guess I'll just ask to be reassigned to some task force or something.
And they wonder why PO's just don't give a shit about anything anymore. 1st and the 16th. Just give me my fucking paycheck. This department is completely ruined.
Hey J-Fed,
I'm happy just being on me beat car doing nothing! I cruise around looking to make deals for my other job and networking. You have nothing to hang over my head to look forward to, you non police dickhead!
I am part of the KMA club! Promotions just don't matter when you have a lot of time on this job and can bid for whatever and whenever you want to work!
Also, I have interests outside of police work, that I make a nice 2nd income and don't have to grovel and kiss ass like most bosses!
SO A "BIG FUCK YOU" GOES OUT TO THE BRASS!
A Happy KMA Beat guy!
Detective class coming up soon...
Look at the future classes that are scheduled but with 'pending' status for the dates...
Any one can confirm?
Who is Ruthie? I she the civilian that was choking a police officer at the medical section and when all they brass came down from upstairs they wouldn't let the 2nd district police came out they wouldn't let the battered officer have her arrested. The police report was written without a statement from the officer it only contained the civilian's statement. Helm as well as other brass would not allow an arrest to be made. This civilian has worked in many places through out the city and is moved around because of the many assaults and batteries she has committed against city employees. Why is she still working? Who does she know? Meeks? Jackson? Rush? Because, these guys seem to have alot of influence in the hiring of city employees. Not one of the bosses backed up the police officer yet when this civilian came down from upstairs to work in the medical section they were informed that she was a trouble maker, that she has been physically abusive to co-workers in the past and has lawsuits against the city and to protect themselves they should just stay away from her.
HMMMMMMMMMM. Something just isn't right.
A3 = 8 homicides
A2=115 homicides
Same manpower. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMmm I tinks der is some hidden talent over der by area tree dat goes along wit dose that is detailed out. I ain't complain mind yous,just tinkin out loud.
Pissed we didnt get no limpics I woulda been ridin dat OT bitch hard.
We wouldn't be in this sad of shape if the city employees didn't vote out Jane Byrne. I hope her daughter runs for mayor. Janey loved the blue shirts. She never allowed the white shirts to miss treat us either.
Hahahaha Chicago came in 4th for the Olympics. I guess the President, his wife and our Mayor aren't as important as they think they are. They put on a terrible show. They all spoke for choosing Chiago as if they went to the public schools here. hahahahaha....thanks God. LOSERS!!!
off topic: congrats to the officers in 01, 03, 15, 25 who will now work the 4-2 schedule, hope that you enjoy the reduced stress and extra time to be with your loved ones!

No, the test was given in 2005, the results came out August of 2005 and there have only been a few classes...last class was December 2007. They haven't even taken 250 off the list yet!
You know whats worse having 7 Civilian supervisors up in finance making 6 figures while supervising 8 po's. I was inquiring about joining the kma club when I notice all the Supvisor offices. Now that's politics in action...

-----------------------
Unless you are meritorious , your chances of promotion require that you hit the 96th percentile. Miss one or two questions...you are gone. Then a 22 year old with zits in his face, never been laid, grades your test.
I walked out of the last three tests believing I had it all, expected to rip open an envelope and see that I placed in the top five... I was utterly baffled. I don't understand the process.
Please stop calling it HQ or "3510". Call it what it is: FORT FELLATIO or Fort B-J for short.
The NYPD calls their HQ "the Puzzle Palace". Can't we go with Fort Fellatio?
RIO RIO THE WHOLE WORLD SEES US AS A FRAUDE!!!!!
THE LEAST AMOUNT OF VOTES!!!!!!
DUMP DALEY DUMP OPRAH DUMP OBAMMA

You are either getting bad info pal or just making it up as usual. I think you are projecting what you WISH was happening. Wonder if people know you were kicked off the job.

You guys just don't get it. Figure out how to make your boat and summer home payments without wearing a white shirt and your stress level will go way down...Maybe you'll have to sell the boat and summer house, but if y'all stop worrying about promotions, the stress goes away.
What you talking bout? There's no politics at 35 th st.
10 hour schedule is the best schedule by far! so much time off, try it....u might like it!!
Talk about politics and chicanery:
City Hall late this afternoon released copies of defense subpoenas seeking the testimony of 10 aldermen in the case involving an indicted developer.
The subpoenas, issued by Calvin Boender's defense lawyer Joe Roddy, seek testimony of nine current aldermen--Ed Smith, 28th, Bernard Stone, 50th, Edward Burke, 14th, Walter Burnett, 27th, Emma Mitts, 37th, Ricardo Munoz, 22nd, Patrick O'Connor, 40th, Helen Shiller, 46th, Eugene Schulter, 47th--and former Ald. William Banks, 36th.
Roddy said the aldermen were subpoenaed because he believed they could provide evidence about the "consistently honorable course of conduct of Cal Boender."
In May, a federal grand jury indicted Boender and Ald. Isaac Carothers, 29th, on charges stemming from Boender's efforts to develop a 50-acre industrial site on the West Side. With Carothers' support, Boender successfully rezoned the site in 2006, allowing construction of a residential and commercial development known as Galewood Yards.
If Joe Roddy is this guy's attorney it is either a fix or he is finished. Roddy is the city's guy and will sell you out in a New York minute.
This one is worth its own post SCC

Sure, some Fed details, but they're also in IAD (which has been removed from the department listings), Financial investigations, regional auto theft task forces, Vice...
Whoever ran the numbers only did half the job. Run the other D units.

Hop on the computer and run the Area Three absentee commander's date of hire, then run the date of hire of those working in A/3. The correlation is staggering. But it's all legit, boys and girls.
Area Three could lose twenty percent of its roster and do fine. But where would the glorified $85,000/yr detective-receptionists work, if that happened? And the lunch orderers? And the double-dipping lieutenant who is too busy to come in to work?

If you mean in e-learning those classes were entered months ago so they would be in the system for the next class. Pending just means there is no date set yet.

Gee, maybe Daley will now understand the frustration we feel when we devote a full year to studying for a promotional exam only to be smacked when his Merit hacks are given our spots. With all his preparations and anticipated revenue for the 2016 Olympic bid, I wonder how he felt when the envelope didn't even consider Chicago as a contender? Sucks being on the receiving end.

Oh, don't you know. The receptionists and the lieutenant are all related. Now throw in a few other do nothing relatives that he's trying to force on the mission team and we've got one big happy family at area three with mom/wife/auntie/cousin on the 1st floor. God, get me out of here!!!

Actually you are wrong. The test was given Saturday, December 18, 2004. I have the paper in front of me. So it has been almost 5 years since they've given a Detective test. You are however correct about he rest. The last class was in 2007 and they have not even taken 250 off the list. They've probably made about 280-290 detectives since 2004 and that's counting merit promotions. So this will give all of you new guys on the job an idea about your chances of getting promoted in this department legitimately.
Perhaps Bomb and Arson has a few, Special Investigations Section has a few, I guess there are a few other units out there with some here and there
This is bullshit almost 2 years and no detective. That pax 501 jody put out in january is total bullshit the fop should file a class action lawsuit regarding promotions and how the police department falsely put out a pax 501 detailing the amount of promotions that would occur for year 2009. Ie sgts dets lts ......fop get some balls if not the officers that are awaiting this promotion should get together and file and cry foul. If it worked for the minorities in 1994 it should work for the legitimate police men and women that deserve this promotion and are waiting two years for their number to be called. But then again this is shitcago and everything is about the race crybabies!!! I want my promotion that I earned legitimately!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dis type of discourse scares me dat I might be workin next to dis guy. False pax! You serious? Dats a memo nutin more. I understands your frustration but yous got no case on a pax. I tink dey will be makin dicks in March so hang in dere. I remember one time it was 2&1/2 years between dicks classes.

Maybe the test was given the end of 2004... whatever...but the results for the detective test did not get sent out until August 2005. I am looking at the result notification right now. That means they started promoting off the new list the end of 2005. So, since the last class was Dec. 2007 they have only promoted off the current list for two years.

2. Most of the Area Two homicides are just disturbances that got out of hand.
3. The residents of Area Three pay lots more in taxes than do the residents of Area Two.

1. Duh.But there is not a single category that is not 10 times higher in 2 than 3.
2. Is a burglary a criminal damage that got out of hand. WTF!
3. Higher taxes? So what. The comment just had to do with manpower distribution.
4. Everyone has legitimate reasons for working where they do and that is fine. I don't buy the B.S. that this guy works in 2 and is real police and this guy works in 3 and is not. But the fact is the work load is 10 times greater in 2 than 3 across the board with similar manpower. If you don't like it go to 3 or if you do go to 2.
as for civilian in medical section she is not ruthie. if there had to be an arrest it would have been the OFFICER who should have been arrested she pushed the cilvilian knocking her down.
Can you define 'meritorious' for me.
Go ahead I'm listening...
define merit promotion
ask any captain and 30% of sergeants and lieutenants could answer that question
good topic for roll call
