A Masterful Explanation
Either Masters Masters Masters is back reading the blog or the policy group is bucking for a promotion - Ray, don't worry, that lieutenant spot is all gift wrapped, you're golden:
- Masters did attend the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy(SLEA) through the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn. Its a 10 week course that suburban departments use to certify recruits. He is a certified peace officer in the State of Illinois. He was a "student at large" during the Academy. They made some exceptions for him due to his position. He is certified through the State and therefore can carry a firearm and has arrest powers. Hope this clears the issue.
That does sound like the sneaky way J-Fled and Shortshanks would make sure their boy can carry a weapon while citizens have to fight tooth and nail to the highest court in the land just to be able to keep a gun in a safe in their house.
That "student at large" thing though. We'd hate to think someone was falsifying training records by asking instructors if they remembered someone sitting in on classes that were never attended. Or is that a different scandal we aren't remembering?

Once again, I don't care how he got it, to J-Fled, RayRay, Masters(x3), the Policy Groupies: Earned not Given!!! Masters doesn't know the first thing about being a cop. We all know this, so this should be a non-issue after this posting.
remember clint eastwood in high plains drifter? he puts the badge on the midget. same thing.
Someone should ask school to define "student at large". Does it mean: student outranked every faculty member and therefore received a generous "pass" on all requirements?
They why is it when a Suburban or ISP Officer joins CPD they have to go through our whole academy all over again even if they went through the CPD Metro Academy?
Paul Huebl's Crimefile News has a copy of the lawsuit filed against the new Gun Ban passed by Shortshanks and the morons at the City Council.
http://www.crimefilenews.com/2010/07/new-daley-gun-ban-is-object-of-new.html
Well if he locks somebody up then who cares We could use all the police we can get-Semper Fi
Ok why the negative? Isnt he just doing what all sworn gold stars should be doing. Better that then at home doing nothing like Tim J. O'connor or you dont know who that guy was back in the day during Sumerdale in the Fightin 40th
wait a minute, doesn't this punk shithead Masters have to also be CERTIFIED by taking the state test?
Since we all know he couldn't have passed THAT, the investigation into falsifying state test materials and records should begin there. That is, if any media outlets have the BALLS to do anything about it.
I guess that is the same as obtaining a Master's degree (pun not deliberate) and a doctorate from a diploma mill like Nova University!
one of the former HRIs is in 017
Given, not earned.
Chicago Police Department.
I'm sure this is old news but the order came out yesterday. Looks like Ruthie "gun toting on airport property" Wedster got dumped to 003 and is taking 28 days. Ha!
Well if he did not show up for classes and he has passed all the classes???? Contact the ISP for an investigation.
He was a "student at large" during the Academy. They made some exceptions for him due to his position. He is certified through the State and therefore can carry a firearm and has arrest powers. Hope this clears the issue.

I am sure the "make some exceptions for him" will fly with the law firm that sues the City when he uses his little pistol on someone.
Mikey, there are now plenty of other CIVILIANS on our Department that don't feel the need to play Police. This makes you look insecure and weak. No, it makes you look like a goofy wanna-be.
You cannot call yourself a Police Officer unless you went through the Academy, I know, your parents sent you to an ivy league school. Sadly, it's not as good and you know it. You didn't do your training (the real training) in some ghetto District. You've never been shot at, hit, spit on or waded into a gang fight. You've probably never had to replace a uniform (or your suit) because somebody bled out on you. You've never had your partners back and been responsible for getting him home to his family. You are not, and never will be the Police.
I'll check to see if my surgeon got his degree 'on line' and 'monitored a few classes, now.
Stay home and collect your big check and leave the streets to us-That doenst sound very good when we are short on manpower. I give him credit for at least trying to go out and do the job. He went through USMC training and deployed to Kuwait. Thats not good enough on top of police training.
Howie Unit 124 has a HS degree but no college so he is quslified for what job on the CPD. Is that why all the boss bios are off the web site
How the rules change. I knew more than a few PO's that went through the CPD Academy in Metro Classes only to repeat the program after being hired by CPD.
That is the problem with the CPD morale. One standard for the rank and file, another for those with clout.
The Superintendent needs to know that morale has little to do with pay and more to do with leadership. It is much easier to hold people to a standard when the leadership within an organization models the desired behavior.
When will the madness stop???
A Cop (91-8)
so when did he attend these classes? during work hours ? after work ? weekends ? tell us ...we'd like to know how he managed to find time to drive to glen ellyn to attend these classes and be student at large. I bet he used a company car to get there. Another thing , he has arrest powers yet those powers yet not as a chicago police officer. Just because he's certified, does not give him those powers. If I decide to quit....I still have my certifications....but I'd no longer be a police officer and would not have any police powers. He was NEVER a police officer. Never hired as a police officer. Never went thru THE CITY OF CHICAGO's POLICE ACADEMY. If a copper from the burbs gets hired here , he is still REQUIRED to go thru our training academy. It is not optional...IT'S REQUIRED.
maybe masters masters masters couldn't or can't pass the psych exam. hmmmmmmmm....makes you wonder.
Well they can't be reading this blog, right? It's "insignificant"!
Thanks for what you do here. This is the (more) credible source for department news and what's REALLY going on behind the scenes.
Keep the pressure on, SCC!
http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/07/lawsuit-filed-against-chicagos-new-gun-ordinance.html
and so it begins..... ;-)
The interesting part of the is , it is the OFFICIAL policy of the CPD not to recognize other training facilities. Any officer we hire, regardless of training, has always been forced to go thru the full Chicago course. I would say that any suburban officer who was forced to do this should now request a reduction of his probation time, reimbursement for travel and loss of overtime on details, etc. How about it FOP???
And by the way, whose veicle was used, and was he carried code 49????
why is it that cod can certify a recruit as a police officer. Yet i sat in the academy for 7.5 months in lean and rest.
And So..........What was the wrong
Sounds alot like what ISP is dealing with with a kid as Director with no LE experience, he attended some courses and firearm training .now he can carry a gun, thats why CPD and ISP are both doomed.
Did he do the POWER test, did the psych quacks run the MMPI battery on him (psych test)... did they do a background?
Probably not... ...his file only has one memo from Daley "making him."
Kinda like the mob, only this is happening in the second largest police department in the Nation.

Is the Chicago Police Academy not good enough for one of our exempts. If ten weeks is sufficient training, why is our academy 25 weeks?
how many SGT's are taking the 55 and out this year?
Seeing as though he only went thru some suburban classes to get his power, does that mean anyone else that has been certified elsewhere can just come onto this job and not go thru the CPD Academy?
Please show me in the state law where it allows for exceptions to "attending" an academy to certify police officers.
I believe the "student at large" classification would have been used because he was not sponsored into the academy by a police department like all of us are. The Suburban Law Enforcement Academy serves suburban law enforcement not Chicago P.D. You guys have your own academy that also serves as a metro training facility for suburbs. Because Chicago does not participate in SLEA type schools he is classified as a "student at large". I would like to see the attendance records on that.
HEY SCC, Get a listen to this:
http://www.isra.org/legislation/media/HB180_testimony.mp3
This is TOBIAS trying to act like the big man in front of House of Representatives by pimping on Daley's behalf and trying to coerce the Reps into voting for House Bill that forces gun dealers to register with the state police, something the ILRA is against.
Give it a listen.
Can I take my training at city colleges at night through TV classes on Channel 20?
r. luberman?
(I think so).
There's a Sgt. from the CAGE unit testifying also.... both these retards had their asses handed to them in a most hilarious fashion.
Every class I ever attended either at the academy of off site like near north...we had to fill out cards. At large, yeah ok! They will be busy falsifying those now wont they?
He probably had the class on an app in his black berry!! Cha Chi
So the city paid a suburban department to train masters, when he could have gone to the academy for free. It's your money!
When masters has a few domestics, guns and drop cases under his belt, then he can call himself the real police. How many box tops did he save to get his shiny star?
OT

Are there any other Chicago cops that went to a cop school other than the Chicago police academy?
hey! since I have more then 10 weeks training does that mean I can run any dept in the state? If so Im outta here! LIFM
I heard he's already wearing the uniform shorts and looks better in them than LT Dangle.
Chicago police officers go to the chicago police Academy. Ask any ex burb cop who moved over to our city.
wow, political corruption at its best .
Masters: a coddled pussy of a man.
does any one know where dugan is at
State law mandates that a recruit cannot miss more than 10% of classes in a academy. I wonder how they worked around thst rule? How did he take the state exam? I wonder if student at large is available to anyone?
That does sound like the sneaky way J-Fled and Shortshanks would make sure their boy can carry a weapon while citizens have to fight tooth and nail to the highest court in the land just to be able to keep a gun in a safe in their house.
That "student at large" thing though. We'd hate to think someone was falsifying training records by asking instructors if they remembered someone sitting in on classes that were never attended. Or is that a different scandal we aren't remembering?

Never mind, the laws and rules apply to you and me, not to political water boys like masters.
If they find a way to sneak him in then that is it, they make the rules so they can alter them at will. Just shut up and do your job.
Sorry SSC, I know it's a very bad day. However this is important for a new topic for tomorrow.
From FOP Update Page:
4th Of July Grievance 07/07/2010
The Lodge is in the process of filing grievances for our members who have been affected by the circumstances created by the Department over the 4th of July weekend. Please notify the Lodge if you were impacted in the following ways:
I was called by the Department and told my day off was cancelled on the 3rd or 4th of July and at a later time received another call rescinding the cancellation and the time between the calls was ___ hours or;
My regular scheduled day off was canceled and I do not feel I received proper compensation for the number of hours I worked or;
After being notified that my RDO was being canceled, I notified Special Employment of the circumstances and canceled my Special Employment for that day. My canceled day off was rescinded and I re-contacted Special Employment to learn that my position for that day was filled.
Please retain copies of all notifications or time due slips that were submitted and if the notification was verbal, record who notified you of the cancellations as well as all pertinent times. To establish how or if you were negatively impacted, please refer to Contract Article 11.
OT: Was just on the Scum-Times web site, they posted the name of the officer killed today. They won't however post the name of the oxygen wasting animal that killed the officer. He hasn't been charged so they are not naming him. What total bullshit. If the savage was the only one shot his name would be mentioned multiple times in the article.
For comparison I immediately checked the Tribune web site. Unlike the times the Trib had yet to post the PO's name because some family members have yet to be notified. Kudos to the Tribune!
As for the Editor of the Scum times, Fuck You and your family!

Don't you mean, claim to have trained MASTERS MASTERS MASTERS?
His vest and weapon in crowds will get him into trouble. He has no idea how to be the police, no training whatsoever. Does he know how to restrain someone? Handcuff a combating arrestee? Can he file a case report? How many felony arrests does he have under his belt? It's pathetic they let this sham continue and it's a slap in the face to anyone who went through the academy training, including the physical training. I am at a loss on how this department is being managed.
Please show me in the state law where it allows for exceptions to "attending" an academy to certify police officers.

...there is none, it's the law of Daley. Wish Kass would expose this farce.
Freedom of Information act...you need some heavy orgainization to demand the docs, or should I say the "doctored docs".
I'm lovin the student-at-large scam, this department is a hoot.
Having attended the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy (SLEA), I have a few questions regarding this Masters guy.
1. Did he pass the POWER test before beginning the academy as required by state law??
2. Did he actually attend class five days a week, approximately 12 hours per day for 11 weeks??
3. How is it that CPD sends this Masters guy to get certified in a suburban academy but won't accept completion of a suburban academy for individuals being hired by the CPD??
4. Does anyone know when Masters supposedly attended? I'm sure I could find a PPO in a surrouding suburb that attended that academy class and could verify if Masters was even there??
5. Did Masters pass the state test and does the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board show him as a "Law Enforcement Officer" on their listing of Police Officers in the State of Illinois????
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm..
off topic: what is the deal with the Sgt in 701 working his "magic" on 3rd watch? go back to erps and show the guys how to work! who's your daddy?!
"OT - did a teletype come out saying no personal days granted for sergeants for bud biliken and news years eve? Can't find it."
Yes. I don't have it in front of me, but it said something to the effect that by contract, the city could desginate three days where sergeants cannot take personal days. For afternoons and midnights, I believe, two of them were Bub Billiken and New Year's Eve.
I don't recall what the other 2nd watch day was.
The Superintendent needs to know that morale has little to do with pay and more to do with leadership. It is much easier to hold people to a standard when the leadership within an organization models the desired behavior.
When will the madness stop???

Jody does know, but he does not care.
And the madness will not stop until shanks the greasy is voted out, has the ultimate grabber or chokes on a piece of food. Then, and only then, will we have a chance for a mayor with integrity in his/her hirings and appointments. Until then, we have shanks, the one that hires people of the lowest integrity and expertise, like jody the clueless beady-eyed hillbilly.
Any person has the lawful authority to make an arrest for a crime (other than an ordinance violation). Do you remember that, boys and girls: Criminal Procedure 101? (725 ILCS 5/107-3)
What a DICK! You can't silence a man born to hang! The shame of the Department: Defective Detective!
Up until maybe 20 years ago, there was no requirement that a LEO attend an actual police academy to become certified.
A number of small departments had certified instructors and they taught the necessary classes to students PT and when they got their required classes in they got certified.
I knew a couple of people that did it that way.
The rules were changed so you now have to go to an actual academy to get certified.
AFAIK, the requirement to go to the CPD academy to be hired as a CPD officer is not state law, but a CPD rule. As a mere rule, there is often some discretion in when that rule can be waived. If one were to look closely at the rule, I would bet it can be waived by the superintendent, or some other official as long as the guy is certified.
2 HRIs were detailed to 35th street from the academy for over 90days
"one of the former HRIs is in 017" Do tell
He went to Havard so you think that the cpd academy is tough for this guy. Come on the powers that be can make anyone the police in this towm. It has been done before, Its called tests behind close doors etc. Just look at the command staff with all their geds and nothing to speak of resumes
Bitch, bitch, bitch.....yes it's a back door way of gaining a certification required for Police powers in Illinois, but it is no worse than all on this Department who take these "certified" college classes at the academy so as to get their bachelor's or master's degrees. Regardless of origin, these certifications are officially recognized.
To the idiots bitching about doing this on the company dollar, didn't you get paid while in the academy or did you do it on your free time?
Appointed exempts are not required to be certified POs for the job. However, if they wish to be certified in this city, than sit in the same classes for 6 months on Jackson like everyone else. Otherwise, just go everywhere with your PO driver who did.
HMMM, Do I sense a lawsuit? I was a state certified officer working in the burbs when I applied for CPD. They wouldn't accept any other certification except the Chicago Police Academy. I had to re-do the whole process again to be sworn as a CPD officer. Wonder if some ordinance was violated by "ANNOINTING" Masters?
All you need is an instructor to sign off on his book that he was there and then he takes the state test. Its that simple... He is not Jason Bourne
All you need is an instructor to sign off on his book that he was there and then he takes the state test. Its that simple... He is not Jason Bourne - Is that why the HRIs were detailed to 35th to cover the signatures??????????
Who cares if u have a degree or not you guys are so out of touch that it is so funny whether u have a degree or not is not the point cause a degree does not take the place of experience which some of you never even had i strongly believe you should have at least 2 job before joining the police department then you will know how lucky you are where u are we have some of the best people who thru experience are a resource to this department but the powerful dumb ass who runs it wanted to change the course of life by asking that you much have 2 years of college in order to be let in the police department well let look at the dumb educated people who have made this department a joke wake up people you want change start looking ahead : City assets being sold is nothing new in Chicago. Mayor Richard M. Daley has been hosting a city-wide garage sale since 2005, when he leased the Chicago Skyway, an expressway connecting the city to Northern Indiana, for 99 years. He's sold parking lots and trash pick-up service; he's even begun to privatize some of the police force, allowing an outside company to regulate traffic cameras and monitors. election is next year .
Why the hell would a suburban cop want to work in the city?
