The Sky is Falling!!!
- An investigation into a Chicago police district commander has been launched after allegations she made phone threats against a former boyfriend, who is also an officer, according to court records.
A Cook County judge filed an emergency order of protection March 12 against Penelope Trahanas, the commander of the Harrison District, according to the court documents.
The filing also said that while Trahanas does not have the specifics of the allegations against her, any claims that she engaged in "unlawful or violent behavior ... are completely untrue.''
Trahanas "enjoys an excellent reputation within the law enforcement community," the filing said.
The details of the alleged threats are outlined in a March 11 Chicago police report, according to the court record. In that report, Jackson stated he was concerned Trahanas would do "everything within her power to try and have him fired from his job."
In another alleged voice message, Trahanas allegedly made a veiled physical threat against him, the court documents said. The report also mentioned that Trahanas made 15 other phone calls of "a similar nature."

"(Trahanas) enjoys an excellent reputation within the law enforcement community." - Attorney Thomas Needham
Oh, really? NOT!
15 calls? that's 15 too many. No guy is worth that. How is downtown going to put a spin on this? Will it be swept under that HUGE rug at 35th? They better release any POW's who are being held captive at 311 for domestics if nothing is done about it.
She has been stripped! And Wedster to 003. Slow but done!!!
So Trahanas "enjoys an excellent reputation within the law enforcement community"?
Let's put to rest this blatant lie. Formulate a survey to be completed by the coppers in 011, collect and tally the responses, and post the results.
The ONLY reputation she's garnered is that of a useless political hack that has been (merit) promoted wwwaaaaaaaaaaayyy beyond her capabilities. It's painfully obvious that she shouldn't be in charge of the the janitorial crew in 011, let alone a contingent of police officers in the busiest, most fucked-up district in the city.
Henny Penny is by no means a leader, and shouldn't have ever been granted multiple bites of the merit apple. It's utterly disgusting to see (yet again) a person that rises through the ranks because of their sex, race and political backing. I just wonder what Henny Penny did in the past and what promises she made to get where she got.
While I'm sure it's wishful thinking, I hope Penny gets demoted back to, AT MINIMUM, Lieutenant. And even that would be too good for her.
P.S. - It's nice to see that NorthSide DIDN'T go to bat for this broad.
Isn't Matthew Jackson's brother an FBI Agent?
This could get very interesting indeed.
Just watch Needham and the coverup machine in action. Needham is one of Daley's boys and very good at covering up and hiding CPD impropriety for the elect CLOUTED.
Under J-fed we have had more fools promoted and more discedit to the CPD. SAD!!!!
Just another CPD coverup in the making. Nothing will happen, Penny has juice.
If this was some unclouted copper it would be BYE BYE!
I am recommending this blog to some DOJ and FBI types. I am sure they will enjoy reading about former SAIC Jod P Weis and his ethics, morality and leadership qualities.
Can we have a pool on who they will choose for the new commander? Who is the next multi-merited, clouted hack?
Aside from whatever domestic she was involved in throwing her exempt clout around, the real question is, why is or was she a commander of a district like 011? Or a commander at all for that matter. Why would J-fed or Dugan put her in such a position? Was it their way of killing morale there and slowing down the troops? We all know how miserable the P.O.'s have been in 011 and they have been crying out for her to leave. I just don't get how these big shots think at 35th street. This job is lost and they may have killed it forever.
blue-shirt = immediately stripped, arrested & perp-walked, tried, sentenced, terminated and imprisoned. Period. Full Stop...
gold star = "aww you guys are so quick to judge, have a heart already!"
sorry...
the last few years have ruined our charitable spirit especially when it comes to the disparity in discipline.
maybe if a few gold stars were hurt real bad like blue-shirts then they would say "hmmm, we have to fix this unfair, biased-ass two tier discipline structure because we gold star are starting to really get our shit kicked in like we're blue-shirts and it don't feel good."
Finally...
Feel our pain.
she be cfd brooks cousin?
IT'S ALL LEGIT!!!
Compared to what this psycho bitch did to her husband, and then to his two labs, the postman is getting off light! The Pride of Edison Park that's what she is alright!

The filing further states that Ofc. Abatte has an excellent reputation with the Polish Women's Guild, Wiley Coyote is well respected in the road runner community and Richard M.Daley has a nine inch penis.
She 'enjoys an excellent reputation'??? Word in a/5 was she slapped a female detective in the ladies room a few years back.
But she has an excellent reputation.
All I'm saying is...talk to people who know this guy. Things may not be what they seem.
And there is no double standard of discipline on the CPD?
"Trahanas "enjoys an excellent reputation within the law enforcement community," the filing said."...
HHmmmmmm, me thinks not.
a commander stripped and at call back--- highly unlikely, she will be placed in a nice quiet spot until this all blows over--- once again, special treatment for one of the chosen ones.... do any of these bosses have any integrity anymore--- you are in charge of hundreds of subordinates and are supposed to set an example--- wedster, cuello, and now henny penny making bad choices--- setting poor examples and embarrasing the department.....
she was arrested today. processing in area 3. can you say big money for eeoc violation
Just saw it in the Trib. She was distant with the troops when she was in 007, when I was there. Certainly made waves in 011 though.
She will invoke the 'Guerrero' defense and walk.
"The filing further states that...... Richard M.Daley has a nine inch penis.

The trib should have used the Chief Wiggum's pic from 11's lobby, would have been better.
Wonder if she will be the new area 4 CRAPS LT thats were they hid Flores
stripped in area 3. but what will be the outcome? best thing that happened was that it actually made the news

Just make sure it is not Jim Jones being promoted and made Commander of 011. Prime example of someone being promoted way way beyond their abilities. He's a racist, scared little house mouse with zero personality and zero ability as a leader. Whoever has been sponsoring his rise on this job seriously needs their ass kicked. Hard. I think that those meritoriously promoted, besides being identified as such, should also have who put them in for it. That way when you get a Jim Jones, we know who to blame for such an incredibly stupid series of undeserved promotions.

Please elaborate!
Again...There ain't one legit capt or excempt on this whole dept!
I will tell you why,
-if any of you asshats ever served in the military you would know that;
1. no officer eats or sleeps until his soldiers do.
2. Officers make their camps last.
3. Officers get paid after their troops do.
4. Officers drive what their troops drive.
5. Officers have done and have demonstrated proficiency at any task that they expect their soldiers to do.
6. Officers never fraternize with the troops, much less try to fuck every female soldier in their command.
7. Military officers always credit their troops and never hold news conferences to pat themselves on the back.
8. A military officer never tells a troop off in public, he will defer to the soldier's chain of command.
9. The military promotes people "who have been there and done that." CPD promotes clout heavy trash who "have never been there and never done shit.
10. So shut up skipper.
The CPD is ass backwards. Exempts expect every little perk and never take the blame for anything. Always stocking their harems/front offices with the chosen women.Micro managing, back biting and self lauding is the order of the day in the CPD.Troops mean absolutely nothing to the bosses who always take care of themselves first. From the top down to sgt.
And this was posted BEFORE Penny lost her mind.
Proof we have a goof as a leader:
1. The Trahanas domestic
2. The Cuello search warrant
3. The Gross Pittsburgh photos
4. The Martinez "liquor License" for Humboldt Park fest
5. The "gaggle" caught in the Midway airport/Wrigley concerts.
Nice work J-Fed. Even your "application"process proves your way out touch. Meanwhile, what competent Lts and Capts we do have are molding away and vying toward retirement.
Too many people are casting eyes on "juice" nowadays. Someone has to start being the "example" and I think Penney wishes she should have kept her emotions to herself.

3/17/2010 02:11:00 AM
This was indeed a catfight. I can't remember if the female det sued her or not, Penney was a Sgt at the time. I'm amazed that people can still get promoted even though their behavior and decision making is questionable at best. Can't the dept vet these "promotees" any better????
HMMM Weis is eeerily quiet on this one. He must be getting an "el royale" ass-chewing. Maybe shanks takes a dump on him finally.
Every goofy boss thinks arrests and morale is down in 011 because of the leadership. They are right, but don't forget it all started with all the cops who brought in numbers where placed in BIS. A lot of those cops stopped bringing in the numbers they want now. By the way, thanks FOP for handling that, NOT.

11th District Commander Penelope Trahanas
Posted: Tuesday, 16 March 2010 6:50PM
Order of protection against female officer
Steve Miller Reporting
CHICAGO (WBBM) -- A Chicago Police commander is accused of making telephone threats against another police officer , a man she used to date.
Newsradio 780 has learned the Independent Police Review Authority is investigating allegations that 11th District Commander Penelope Trahanas made telephone threats.
IPRA spokesman Curtis Tarver would not confirm the name but he says IPRA is investigating allegations of a domestic violence against a commander.
A source tells Newsradio 780 that Commander Trahanas is accused by another officer, a man she used to date, of making telephone threats.
The source says there is an order of protection against Commander Trahanas.
A police spokesman says Commander Trahanas is still on active duty which means she can still carry a gun.
Newsradio 780 has tried without success to reach the commander.
Makes the Trib, but not the Times. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm
Every unit Penny has been in, she has fucked over P.O s..I know
It is great how some get promoted, totally screw up, do all kinds of stupid things, kill all of the morale in a district, and they continue to keep their position/rank. The CPD is a total joke and the laughing stock of police agencies around the world!
anyone have her pic from lock up ? lol
after the Lopez fiasco J Fed has to ask permission to dump her.
she put her ex husbands dogs to sleep during a seperation.can u say evil?shame that the same treatment cant be rendered for her.
Coppers just shouldn't date other coppers.
When those relationships go bad, they REALLY go bad!
Meh.19-P.
Compared to what this psycho bitch did to her husband, and then to his two labs, the postman is getting off light! The Pride of Edison Park that's what she is alright!
Look at her now,KARMA is a B! Booked in A/3 LMAO
Penny should hook up with EB.It would be a match made in hell. They could save some money by sharing attorneys.
She sould be locked up like any other copper on this job would be for the same violation.
Cozzi gets six years for at most a misdemeanor battery. Henny Penny slaps a detective, threatens a former boyfriend on tape, is the subject of an order of protection. Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity my ass. Our current super sold all of those ideals for 300k a year. Watch what happens to this gold star genius (hint: Nothing).
Aside from whatever domestic she was involved in throwing her exempt clout around, the real question is, why is or was she a commander of a district like 011? Or a commander at all for that matter.

So the boy-toy "victim" is a former CPD spokemanz, and he works -- consumes oxygen -- in the maleroom at 35th, sorting shit sorted by other clouted sorters?
And the physical/psycho-babble threat he felt was maybe kinda sorta having to climb down from the golden phallus at 35th and go back to taking half hour lunches on days in 021?
These two dolts are made for each other.
Matt J. Dating Penny since Dec. 2007.. "What'
Penny used Clouted men to get ahead, why not the Mailman..
She's big time now made news, Sun-times, Tribune, channel 32,9, etc...

If this had been a PO it would have been on the front page of the Sun Times not page 22.
as a reader of this blog for a couple of years, I've read a lot of comments about this "Penny." And, as much as I hate to say it....looks like you guys were R-I-G-H-T!!!
What a goof! Penny makes very little cents! Ha!
Penny is stripped according to news. So, does this mean every time she walks into call back the troops will be called to attention?
Who baby sat her in Area Three last night? Why was women's central detention closed?! Why do all the high profile bosses go to Area Three for processing? Do they serve something other than bologna??
The calls that she made were saved to a CD and inventoried.
15 calls!?!?!?!?!?
Penny! How could you be SOOOOOOOO Stupid!?!
She will be down at the building, there is position for a stripped exempt at callback....
TrahanASS another great merit pick by the federal fuck up J-fed I wonder if the FBI interviewed their old pal J-fed about his meritorious promotion of Ex-Ald Carothers brother to Lieutenant Maybe he deserved another merit. promotion because of his security skills over at the "Yard" and or his brother ratting out his friends after being "Miked" up. I wonder how long it will take for J-Fed to get fucked by his federal pals. Don't worry it always happens. It's what RATS do.
Hang her out to dry like they do to the men on the separtment when B.S. alligations are made against them.
Send her to call back...
Please Weis did not pick her and any of the four Latinos promoted last week. These are decisions made by city hall. Find one of the other thousands reasons to rip Weis.
It was Weis' decision to dump Lopez. So rip him if you disagree with that dump.
Needham is good for us because of his connections, he wins because of connections. Every notice the judges assigned to his cases. So, although it's a scam, if I get into trouble, I'll hire Needham as well because of his connections.
The Suntimes today says no internal action against Penny Henny but this blog is saying otherwise. Which is it?
I sure as hell hope the Dept takes action because if it were you or I we'd be stripped and in callback already.
I CANT BELIVE IT!!!
All I'm saying is...talk to people who know this guy. Things may not be what they seem.

FIRE HER ! ! !
A district commander named in an emergency order of protection by an ex-boyfriend, also an officer, was arrested and charged with telephone harassment late last night after turning herself in to police, officials said.
Penelope Trahanas, the Harrison District commander, was released on her own recognizance on the misdemeanor charge, according to her attorney Tom Needham. She has been relieved of her police powers pending further internal review, department officials said.
--We shall see how it turns out. They are pulling phone records to show text messages that supposedly went back and forth between the two. Now he would be a total idiot if he was texting smack to her and then decided to file this lawsuit. Better make sure you are 100% innocent before you do this shit or it will backfire.
Thanks Mayor Daley.

Needham was Terry Hillard's legal counsel and is a DemocRatic Machine insider. Needham picks and chooses who he represents and the powers to be decide who wins and loses.
Needham is art and parcel of the two-tier system of discipline and a political hack. Politics should have nothing to do with discipline.
Watch this goof Trahanas walk away from this whole episode with minimal damage while an UNCLOUTED PO would be launched.
Fuck Needham and all these corrupt political tools.

I've gone in front of T. Needham & won. Its not impossible.
If you recall, that slime-ball sexual harasser Ricky Guerrero did not go to call back. They did not send him there, as any of us would have been swiftly sent. They sent him to records as a civilian, however, the very few times he even showed his face, he was treated like a returning, victorious emperor.

Roast of lamb, with a balsamic reduction.
Steamed Lobster
Filet Mignon
Roasted duck with raspberry glaze
Cheese souffle
I heard there is another investigation against an officer or group of officers conspiring to making threatening and harrassing phone calls to an Officer's cell phone. Report was made last month.
I agree! Dump them all the way back to PO. Individuals like that should not be placed in supervisory positions.

2:43 p.m. Nice rant but....... Tony Carouthers was pre JFed. The class was made by Starks.
Now that's she's single, does this mean I have a chance?
If they decide to dump her that will only mean four or five will have to be "promoted based on merit" to replace her!!!! We are F**K either way.
A Lt. in IAD told me the C/O of call back is going to be the next commander of 011
I love her lawyer as being quoted "It's too bad that she didn't save all those harassing text's and phone messages that he left her."
So she thinks that she's going to convince a judge that the boyfriend made just as many harassing calls to her, but ooopppsss......I erased them your honor.
Un-fucking believable.

Detective Penny at Area 5 investigated domestic violence, guess she didnt learn too much with her interventions. Oh yes, Area 5 Detective Division was here first merit promotion. How many havethere been since ?
re taking city hall promotion orders: then the numbnuts at city hall should say "no" to the political, reverand demands until that "suggested" promotee is FULLY vetted. Any questionhable brouhahas should be red flags...if they do something stupid as a po, det or sgt,they surely will do it as an exempt because with stupidity there is almost always arrogance and that will nail you. If Weis didn't put her in this position and took city hall orders then shame on city hall once again...they can't seem to get anything right. pathetic.
I'm having a real problem that she put two dogs to sleep out of revenge with the ex-hubby.....if that is true, it is very disturbing. The poor dogs had nothing to do with two humans who don't get along.

I know for a fact that she made sergeant legit. We were in the very last sergeant's class together in 1997 before all the mertitorius bullshit started. I only got to know her over those 3 weeks, but she seemed nice enough. We didn't keep in touch.
She also made lt legit...she was in a class with a good friend of mine.
The rest, as they say, is history. We all make bad choices and unfortunately, this one came back to bit her in the ass.

Why is it when you cannot find anything legitimate to say about an Exempt of color, the first thing that come to mind is he is a racist. Who is he racist against in a department where he is the ultimate minority?
They have decided to make the "Ruth Wedster Office" a permanent fixture at headquarters. I guess they figure with all of the idiots JFed is promoting it will be put to good use over the next few years. Oh Hell, probably over the next century.

Penny Sgt. Legit...Lt. Merit...Capt.merit--Commander. Merit
I do not know Jim Jones, so I cannot say anything about him, good or bad. But for the commentator who thinks that a minority exempt cannot be a racist because they are the "ultimate minority", you are sadly mistaken. Any person in power over someone else can be racist and has been. I have seen it time and time again in CPD for all races. Now, please do not debate the definition of "power". A watch commander, a district commander can be racist, it does not matter if they are black, white or brown.
When you say you were in the sergeant's class together in 1997 before all of the merit promotions, I beg your pardon. Merit promotions started in 1995 for sergeant and lieutenant when those lists were held up for lack of minority numbers. I can vouch for that, because my promotion was held up for two years due to the 10 percent merit. There were only three minorities on the lieutenant's list in the first 120 names. Sergeants list, also very few.
"Why is it when you cannot find anything legitimate to say about an Exempt of color, the first thing that come to mind is he is a racist. Who is he racist against in a department where he is the ultimate minority?"
Why does being of a race that is the "ulimate minority" mean that he can't be racist against others? He treats people of other races like crap. I know from experience. Being a "person of color" does not make you exempt from being called a racist when you treat others poorly based on their race. Racist is racist.
Penny, Penny, Penny...
To get ahead on this job you got to get a China-man, not a Mail-man, silly.

Nice work J-Fed. Even your "application"process proves your way out touch. Meanwhile, what competent Lts and Capts we do have are molding away and vying toward retirement.

The Matthews 19th dist blowout
The individuals promoted from the 1993 Sergeant' test were in rank order, merit did not apply. The test was three parts over a period of several weeks. Arthur Anderson mailed the grades for the individual components to the candidates first, then a day later to the City. Daley went wild = "they will never run another test."
This was before Arthur Anderson had a scandal on a national scale which resulted in their dissolution.
Sergeant promotees from that 93 test were all in rank order including the years 96 & 97 off of the 93' list.
The Sergeant's test following the 93' one was the first time merit was used.
Penny had to have done pretty well on the test because Charlie Roberts was her Commander of Area 5 and he gave the classes at the Academy. A very high proportion of his class made it off that list, Kirby & Cuello, Michelle Obama's cousin, etc. included. Charlie's success did not go unnoticed. He was shortly thereafter promoted to ADS of Training. However, he was ordered not to give any more promotional classes, and from that time forward he did not have any more classes, although other associates of his did have promotional classes later.
What process was used for the Lts. promotions is another story - maybe some can fill in the blanks...
