Canine Promotions?
Rumors abound of a Canine class starting next week?
Anyone have a list of the lucky winners?
UPDATE: The officers are being detailed to Mass Transit next week. Then they will be matched up with Bomb Dogs already undergoing training in Texas in the first quarter next year. There probably won't be a formal "promotion" type list as they do for detective or white shirt promotions, but there will be "telephone" transfers to mass transit sent out.

It's about time that the four-legged dogs got their stripes.
There's a lot of talk of an ET class also.
I wish I was a lucky winner...but I don't know Jesus.
Most interveiwed and picked by Tact. Lt. of 701. With help of course.
Well I know it ain't me. Let's see, scored perfect on written, aced the physical agility, and answered correctly in the interview. Oh but no phone call. Gee the burbs are looking more and more attractive these days
It would be nice if those of us that frggin took the test even knew what the list looked like.
That would be a cool trick seeing how there are now dogs at the training center. Probably what your speaking too is the already existing handelers who were given new dogs, they are finishing up with thier classes.
It's been HUSH-HUSH,all the clout babies have been notified. I smell a grievance,if not shame on the F.O.P.!
Where did you hear this dogshit about "LUCKY WINNERS"?
There is NO luck involved.
These mutts have a better contract than we do AND better exempts! And they at least get thrown a bone once in awhile, while our supervisors seem to never get off their asses to type up a well deserved Honorable Mention or Department Commendation request.
It sucks being a dog ass patrolman!
I've taken several tests in my career, and this by far was the biggest joke of a test that I ever took.
Is Bear still missing? Are they going to have training on how to holster and secure your dog?
I'm sure "luck" had a great deal to do with the wise selection process.
yeah... NOT ME!!!

I'm with 3:21 couldn't have done better on the written, physical or oral board...they gave you the questions in advance on the department website, would love to know where all my points were deducted from
It's all phone calls. I know one guy who got it and is very well connected.
would love to know where all my points were deducted from

If you really did well on the written and the physical, and you have no connect, which means they did not want you, it's the oral board. It's always the oral board. Notify the watch commander.

Clout test and a clout list. The officers on the list know everything.

If you are suggesting that you, as an intelligent, exemplary, posterboy of a policeman would be able to shoot up thru the ranks in a suburban department, think again.
My department is full of good policemen. But guess what! Since we are a 'smaller' department, there are not nearly as many desirable jobs available like detective, sergeant, canine etc. The result is that it's probably harder to move anywhere here WITHOUT A PHONE CALL, than you've ever experienced. And I'm sure that is the rule rather than the exception for most suburban departments.
Though we could always use another quality cop out here, if you want a promotion WITHOUT a phone call, you're probably better off where you are!
a suburban cop-
the rumor is... that the K9 in Texas are using reverse seniority to determine who will get teamed up with the new Chicago handlers once they found out they heve been working without a contract for 2 1/2 years! even the dogs want nothing to do with this city.
I've taken several tests in my career, and this by far was the biggest joke of a test that I ever took.

Like...which is better? Alpo or Purina Ralston?

It's not the content of your answers, it's the delivery!
A while after the interviews were held I was told that the secret was to wear ones dress blues to the interview. This was the signal to the panel to give that particular Officer the best possible score. This explains why both the Officer before me and after me had their dress blues on. This is interesting because the instructions for the interview were for the Officer to wear the field uniform of the day. Coincidently, both were from “specialized” units. I guess another promotional process where the “right” people knew to “contact the Watch Commander”.
All bosses kids or cowardly housemouses. It's an easy scam to make bosses pay and do absolutely nothing. I thought Jody was going to change things from the old way,I guess not. If you took the test and haven't been notified I'd get into the class action lawsuit immmediately. This one stinks to high heaven!
Ive been on a for almost 20 and that was the most slanted clout freindly test in recent memory. They give you the answers for the first part so all the dummys pass. Then have a bogus oral interview to disqualify those without a phone call. I dont know why it even surprises me anymore.

Seriously, I've been wondering about this too, is BEAR still MIA? What was the real story with that situation?
The are some 2 legged dogs in Evidence Technicians South, they must be doing a lateral move to Canine Officer. So that explains why there will be an ET test soon.
So let's put this in the right perspective. The city receives badly needed funds from the Federal Gov't to hire officers due to the SEVERE MANPOWER shortage. The city sits on these funds $33 million(approx) for close to a year. Then offers the most laughably rigged canine test ever. In the meantime those badly needed resources are going to be squandered to reward political hacks and bosses kids with a CUSH UNIT that is going to have absolutely no accountability. Homeland security is an enourmous responsiblity and needs to be staffed by qualified officers not just ones whose daddies were Cmdrs and Dept's. Can someone in the media make the dept explain it's rational and make the list transparent.
There's a canine dog that lives on my block and last night while I was out taking a walk he wagged me over. He said the test is BS, he studies his hindquarters off and STILL the canine bitch two blocks over is barking and growling about how she's got a lock on his promotion and it's a done deal. Seem's she spent some time at the the alderthiefs office last month and ever since she's been real cocky. It really is a dog-eat-dog world.
Dear Alder-Thieves:
an old song for you all,
Ho much is that Dog-gie in the Win-dow?
I wanna be a canine-Cop in Chicago.
I made it. I'm going to Mass Transit, will relax, and get ready to move my dog in. What SCC posted is correct. It's true.
is it true that sgt K.P. is gonna replace sgt L.M. at the canine training center?
How about dets and sgts????

The real story is that Bear went missing again and hasn't been found.
The canine test grading system was so politically blatant that there should be a class-action lawsuit filed against the department and the Lts on the oral board.
There were candidates with vast canine experience that scored lower than officers with no canine experience. How is that possible.
I am truly the best and the brightest and I did not get picked. Obviously there is some problem that does not involve me. It is a vast conspiracy.
I heard they were going to make a class of Sgts but they couldn't promote the right people yet.
scc..please post a copy of the transfer list on the site...thanks

What experience? I had a dog when I was a kid? I have dogs now? I watched ol'yeller?
they probably want people with no "experience" because they just spent thousands of dollars training the dog a certain way, they dont want people's "experience" to screw it up. If I make K9 the pup would be overweight and beg for scraps because I have extensive canine experience.

enough, already, about your love life......
Bears handler should be back in a beat car out of shear stupidity!
Russ Ewing just called from the Animal Buddy Channel (ABC) Canine News Team. Bear has contacted him. Bear and Russ have a previous relationship. Russ Ewing interviewed Bear for his award-winning DOGS WITH FULL-TIME JOBS series.
Bear has told Russ he wants to come in from the rain, the cold and the thunder. He is tired of holding out for an enhanced compensation package that includes ensured retirement benefits at age 12 with 10 years of service. The surrender will be made soon at the site of OPERATION PUSH HEADQUARTERS, 950 E. 50th Street, on a day without thunder or lightning.
Police officials are somewhat dumbfounded over the news. They were last told BEAR was happily living his life on a farm at an unknown location in the state Wisconsin and had no intention of returning to his career in law enforcement. Also, they are dumbfounded that Russ Ewing has returned to participating in surrenders, as they have not seen him around lately.
The BEAR saga continues.
This Dept. really is corrupt. The Fire Dept. posts all test scores and lists rank,gender,race,and you know where you are on the list . I did great on the agility and on the written but if your not their guy you bomb the oral. Rumor has it a certain female from H.Q. who has a hard time walking is in the top 5. What a scam , and I also know several individuals who have experience with dogs ( 4 legged ) and didn't even make the list. This Department and Whole City is too far gone and is impossible to ever be legit. I really feel bad for those who did great and can't get a break and discourage anyone from taking this job or any City job in this fucked up outhouse of a Town!
SCC, please supply a few boxes of Kleenex to the whining bitches posting here. I know none of these posters ever got a "break" of any kind on this job, an early duck, a held slip, etc. etc. They sound like half the guys I've worked with, always paying attention to everyone else's business instead of their own. I'm a cloutless chump too, but if I ever get some I'll use it. And I've lucked into a few somewhat decent spots for a little while here and there, and when I got launched I didn't sit around crying about it. Sorry for the rant, just get tired of the crying sometimes. Sniff sniff...

Vast canine experience? Get the fuck out of here!
I made the list no experience except for my own dogs. Alot of shit people missed on the orals had to do with police experience ie calling for a key holder for a building search, finding other assist units etc.
I called to clarify what uniform they wanted us to wear because I heard people were wearing their dress uniforms. Lt. G. said wear your uniform of the day with your duty belt and have a hat. That is what it said in the order so that is what I wore . The day of my interview there was a P.O. ahead of me wearing his dress blues and he had every bullshit medal on you could imagine. There was also a P.O. after me wearing the same. The point is we all could have done the same thing but that would have not been following directions and besides they had all our complimentary history in front of them at the interview so I didn't need to flaunt my credentials. By not wearing our dress blues I guarantee we were not looked at in the same regard even though we followed directions. Technically those who wore a dress uniform should have scored much lower because they did not comply with the order to wear the uniform of the day! Did the people who wore dress uniforms score less for not following directions, hell no because I know one F/2 who is in the top 20 on both lists. What a crock of shit. Hey Lt. G. and crew , I hope you have fun with who you got at the top of your list and get -ucked!
I SEEN A NICE LOOKING HEALTHY GERMAN SHEPARD LAST WEEK WHILE WORKING CHA ALTGELD GARDENS THAT CAME FROM THE FOREST PRESERVE AREA AT ABOUT 131ST ST. I SAID STOP "BEAR", AND THE DOG FLED W/B TOWARDS ELLIS.I CALLED FOAN ASSIST , BUT DO TO THE SHORTAGE OF P/O'S IN 005, I LOST THE DOG.SO I WENT BACK TO SLEEP.
Anyone who took this test and does not get picked or even placed. You need to contact a lawyer, and begin a class action suit. I have heard from a pretty good friend that they used uniform as a grading point. The directions say one thing and if you stray from the directions you should have points taken away from you not added.
Unit124
Guess what assholes, I saw a lot of you useless whiney assholes at both tests. Did I put my ribbons on my uniform of the day? You are damn right I did you know why? I earned everyone of them slugging it out with savages and animals in the Warzone of this city we refer to as the Southside. I deserved what I got, I never got a phone call and I could care less. I did good on the test I am near the top and I will wait my turn. Unlike most of you morons that think you are entitled everything. Most of you desk jockey pull into the hole and sleep assholes don't deserve the time I spend on giving you an assist when you are screaming for it. So go back to your beat car as I will do your fucking job and quit whining like a little bitch. Study harder, schmooze more at the next Christmas party, show up at some of these functions where you may get to meet someone. Stop your crying. Most of you assholes are what make this job unbearable constantly complaining about this and that and not doing ONE FUCKING THING ABOUT IT!
Sincerely,
Might get it Might not who cares
Btw all you whiners can click my name.
holly cow, cry me a river...
Took the last canine test aprrox 10 yrs ago. There was no written just a physical. I was working days so when I went to the oral I wore the uniform of the day.There were other people waiting for the oral who were wearing dress blues and I thought I screwed up and I was gonna lose points. I thought I had a good oral but the results told me otherwise. The people with clout made the list and those of us who didn't have any were put on the "qualified" list. This time around I figured WTF, got nothing to lose, might as well try wearing dress blues. Guess what? Results came out and the people with clout made the list and those of us who don't got fucked, again! What else is new.
This has to go down as the most obvious clout test ever. So basically everyone scored the same on the written,so that's fair. Somehow amazingly, certain people showed up in their dress uniforms,and were awarded more points than those who just showed up in their regulation uniform. These people who were given the heads up,then are not officially notified but called by the Lt.to be "detailed" for 90 days to further fly under the radar. Meanwhile qualified but unclouted people with extensive military canine backgrounds are out in the cold. Meanwhile millions of badly needed Federal Funds are going to be wasted training these idiots. Pam Zekman, Dave Savini, John Kass anybody please don't let this go,this is a slamdunk on the cluelessness of the Weis regime. Where and when is the class action lawsuit?
Promotions must be coming soon, merit picks starting to come back from long medical leaves.We are watching!
Holy shit whoever posted about the dress blues hit it on the head. The guy before me had his on and I thought what a rubber. Guess im the rubber for not wearing mine. But honestly who really thought that any test the city gave with an oral interview would be on the up and up. The sad part is is that there were some hard workers with a shitload of good arrests and awards ( I know that doesnt always mean someones a good cop) that shouldve made it but didnt because of the joke of an interview they gave even though they gave the right answers. And how couldnt you since they gave you the questions in advance.
Before the name of ultimate tactical warrior is bestowed onto a K-9 it has to meet a certain standard per the general orders. Look it up!
1. Does the K-9 have a carhartt collar?
2. Does the K-9 allow other dogs to jump on the paper for money sniffs?
3. Has the K-9 ever defecated on any aldermans property?
4. Is the K-9 able to chase people down while keeping a backwards baseball hat on?
Keep in mind I'm no K-9 piggy, but I think the dogs come with names already.
dress blues? shit I wore a blue tuxedo.
Hey " Mr. Cry Me A River " , you sound like a real kiss ass tool ! I suppose you wear all your ribbons while you are kicking ass on the southside making our wonderful city safer , and I'll bet all the gangbangers just turn themselves in when they see you and your medals coming their way. I bet you also wear them when you dance with the bosses wife at the Christmas party ! You sound like a real trooper who has kissed enough ass and should make an excellent K-9 commando!
THE PIE-EYED POET SAYS:
My Dear Chicago Alderman,
please make my dreams come true,
to be a Canine-Cop by Christmas Time,
here is my Envelope for You..
Wake up, asshat! All the new people hired by K9 are "detailed in" to the unit until their training is completed! THAT shouldn't be too hard to figure out, even for an ASSHAT!
While they're bringing in the new people, they should be showing the assclown to the door who apparently did such a great job of training "frequent flyer" BEAR.
A "milk bone" alert remains in effect. Goodbye, assclown!
This department does not promote anyone based on test scores or what you know just who you know. They just put a test out there just to make it look legit.
to all the people who think this is all legit: #2 C.Mc.(702) secretary & #4 C.Mc.'s husband. can you say... doggie doo doo
RUMOR has it that these dogs are gonna replace the DOGS in the TRU unit.......
Time is ticking away Ribbon Boy
wow, too many cry babies. just let you know, i have no wack and i score in top 25 on both list.
It's not the 701 Tact Lt but the 702 Lt. who did the interviews and picking
