The bastard hasn't been a commander for 3 weeks and he already gets a MERIT pick???????
FUCK YOU DALEY!!!!!!!!!!

Wysinger;
MERIT Sergeant
MERIT LT.
Given the Lambert Tree Award for shooting a car on the west side in front of momma's house.
ALSO... A MERIT sergeant wife who works in a do nothing unit.
So the question is... who is female he made MERIT???
$1000 says it's a distant FAMILY MEMBER
SCC....SNELLING, L. IS ANOTHER GOOD PICK....doesn't matter that he comes from the academy.....!!!! GOOD CHOICE!!!
Who is Melly's clout? or juice, so to speak?
First off congratulations to those who made it, even the meritorious.
But WTF, Carothers gets a pick and Roman gets pick. Lets get real, new commander Carothers selection gets a pick over all the the other commanders choices. And lets not forget Roman, a retired sergeant who is a civilian commander selection was the deserving of the the final 9. Just f***ing ridiculous.
The "merit" selctions from the special units have all the "knowledge and understanding" of how a "watch" works.
Can't wait to get one of those sgts to handle a situation for us blue shirts.
My Oh My, WE IS FUCKED!!!!!
DeDore, Jack M - Unit 193 - Cmdr S. Roti
first of all Sam Roti is the Commander of the Mayor's detail and he is only a patrolman. Secondly he made a deal with Jack for him to leave the detail he'd make him a sergeant. Third they are both asses
Not that it will ever b legit but what bs that bosses picks are not even from units or districts they oversee.
Koenig, David M - Unit 315
- Cmdr Leo Schmitz

Hmmmmmm....
a "club brother" ...
interesting.
send everyone south, so those of us rotting here for the past few years can get closer to home!
DeDore, Jack M - Unit 193 - Cmdr S. Roti
nice to see the mayors driver clouted another mayor's detail...wtf
Brown, Charley - Unit 153

Lucy finally let the prick kick the football?
As a detective in HGS I can say I have dealt with both specialized units as well as po's in districts.
It is my humble opinion that the Sup really dropped the ball with only 1 district merit pick.
Really, 1 unit (189) narcotics got 33% of the entire merit spots on this list?
My hat is off to every hard working copper. Your work doesn't go unnoticed by me.
What about Dave,
So now we wait to see if the Sgts Association injunction is approved.
Cmdr F--kin Roman must have his nose up Weis's ass so far he can't shit. He gets a pick and the other ass Roti's pick makes it?? What about the boys and girls in Patrol, working their asses off everyday in this shit city? They dont get recognized?? Give me a freakin break. And Carothers? His brother must really have something on Daley that he just gets made cmdr and his pick gets made! MORAL, WHAT'S MORAL? NOT ON THIS DEPARTMENT!
I thought Roman was on the outs for talking about Masters, Masters, Masters behind his back. Apparently his penance was to pick for J-FLED so his name is not attached as a sponsor.
Who is the real sponsors? Thats the question I like to know. Who told these commanders etc. to pick their candidates.
I would not be surprised if the MERITS do not go to patrol after the academy. If they do go, I feels sorry for the patrol division. What do these guys know about supervising a watch.
Mr Larry Snelling- I remember going through the Academy 5 yrs ago (I'm a 5 year wonder, boys and girls!!) and thinking, PT sessions with him were the best thing about the academy...This guy should be at Ranger BAT, not here!!. Regardless, He doesent remember me and most of my class mates but eveytime we would run into him, he was very sincere and a down-right good person that posessed the ability to rip u apart, like yesterday... I cant speak for anybody else on the list, though..
Hey, can someone tell me if the two Torres's are related?
Jesus, I hope the Christ not!
Who is Melly's clout? or juice, so to speak?
Her FTO.
I have always liked Angarone, but do you mean ti tell me he had no one in the biggest district in the city he could have put in. Ant then Roman and Roti get people selected they have less then 25 people working for them. Lets see if they ask about the Deartments morale again.
Really Larry?
SCC....SNELLING, L. IS ANOTHER GOOD PICK....doesn't matter that he comes from the academy.....!!!! GOOD CHOICE!!!
Okay everyone shut up and go back to work, nothing to see here.
Congratulations Ralph Cruz from your partner in the flying squirrel unit.
Congrats Marrietta! You're gonna be a really good Sergeant! You deserve it!
I am a lieutenant, but I know longer can ask my people to go out and work with a clear conscious. I have no say in these matters but I feel like I should apolagize I am so embarrassed.
In the past at least one or two merit picks could be explained, these are unexplainable. Not a policeman in the lot
It all makes sense. They had to make J-Fleds driver a Sgt so he can take the Open Sgt spot in the policy group. Oh wait. That list hasn't come out yet. Sorry Ray Ray
and what's with commanders nominating people that don't work for them? ANGARONE is a good guy but isn't there ANYONE in 018 who deserves a bump? Don't even get me started on Carrothers. Did he even have time to put together a merit package before the merit deadline?
Brand new commander Carothers is able to pick a meritorous sgt? Amazing. They ignore all of the other senior and veteran exempts and let Carothers have a selection. This is complete clout. Carothers and downtown ernie brown are connected by the tailbone. I bet Charles Brown will work 007 and follow carothers as he is promoted. Hard work really is the message here.
I think that was a mistake by someone sending that out.
BTW Congrats to those who earned it by studying!
And I worked with Yolanda Talley years ago and she was a great working copper back then, Congrats Yolanda
Congrats to brian wright! good guy! hard worker! also passed the bar while working this job! you the man!
when's a dicks class being made?
Good luck to Jack Dedore he should do good being he was a bodyguard for the Mayor in unit 542 a few years back. Good friend to deputy Chief in CCD. I'm glad all that hard work pays off.
Unit 189 is a do nothing unit???????? That comes from a blue shirt who has never even been on tact. 189 knocks a ton of work out and brings in cash for the dept. 189 seizures of cash and dope burry any other unit or dist in the dept.
FA from 189 is one of the best Police Officers you will ever meet and work with (I do work in 189. FA is not on my team). The working police got a merit spot, PERIOD!!!!!!
YT from 189 is nice person and good police officer. I don't know if she is merit worthy but she is not a dog. I say congrats!!!!
I don't know the other merit from 189.
I think the real question is O'grady??? Does he go up??? He has three of his people (he wasn't any other their sponsers) get merit. That either speaks volumes for his unit or how heavy it is. Since O'grady has taken over 189 the productivity has gone up.
I do agree with everyone complaining about Carrothers pick getting a spot. A new commander should not even get a pick. Somebody from he Mayor's detail shouldn't even be eligible.
I won't say anything bad about any of the officers promoted. I say congrats and good luck. Most importantly always remember where you came from!!!!
Congrats to Magda! She is a great person , hard working, book smart and street smart. She will make a fine boss.
Amazing just amazing that carrouthers gets a pick, people who don't live here would never believe how arrogant and corrupt the cpd brass and politicians are... Just disgusting, yuck!
wait!!! i did'nt see my name!
Oh, boo -hoo! BM 018 Mids didn't make it again? Commander Kenny brought you over and all you do is bad mouth him now. Maybe WW will coddle you while you whine and cry again for not getting your "deserved" merit promotion.
Koenig tells stories of being in a shooting that never, ever happened.
what number are they on from the list?
b. ruiz.... nicest whiteshirt in CPD. too bad he can only help a few. p s dont get amnesia when you see us old dogs!

**************************
I don't usually pay too much attention to what the dumbfucks downtown do, but you mean to tell me Fuckshanks appointed a fucking patrolman to a Commander, and put him in charge of how many fucking people? 8 or 9?
So Dickhead Daley just doesn't feel important enough without making an exempt spot for a fuckin' patrolman to be in charge of a handfull of suckass putzs?
This HAS to be a "Commanding Officer" spot, and with that, who the fuck says this fuckin' patrolman is qualified to dictate who should be promoted?
I just can't choose who to turn against first, Weis or Daley these days.
To everyone who made it off the list congrats. To everyone who stole a spot on merit....fuck off and die. And no I'm not jealous, I've been promoted the legit way.
I mean they just keep trying to destroy morale with each thing they do. Kudos for making the nominators public, but what the fuck, you nominate people from units when you're running a district? Guess no one in your district is good enough.
7 from districts. The rest from units. Lovely.

Really? Why. Cause he's in shape? He may know the use of force model but little else. A true definition of merit as the CPD goes. WAIT! WHAT? There is no definition of merit? So you can promote anybody for merit and not have to show reason why? Exactly!
Torres, Wilfredo - Unit 650
Wil you were a good marine and good tac officer who showed alot of guts on kimball and belmont.
FTO Joe Stefanec 015
and you should have gotten the lambert tree.
Except for Carothers, I'd be suspect on the "sponsorship" of anyone. Just because they put them in, doesn't mean they weren't told who to put in.
BUT CAROTHERS?!?!?! WTF X 100
The Emperor has no clothes.
Congrats B. Wright. YOU DA MAN!!!
I see some got into TWO secret study groups...
Weis we is fucked. Awesome!!!!!
Congrats Rox. She will be one of the few Good ones she knows her shit.
Det. Torres came from 014 where he was shot in a domestic and he returned fire (After he was Shot)and the hillbilly was gone. that's his story.
period.

Thanks boss if you truly are a W/C. But we need more bosses to step up, speak up to the higher up morons, and truly have our backs. And if the watch commanders were truly displeased with J-Fled and this fucked up dept. we would get more speeches or words like yours that say don't do a fucking thing until things change. Until then us in patrol fear the wrath of being aggressive and risk lawsuits and prison!!!

How on God's green earth would he know who is deserving!
I think L. Snelling is a good pick. I can't comment on the others.

Dave is a great guy ....great copper...and an awesome pick. And yes I have worked with him..Im not "close" to him but do work with him. He has done more and been sued more for doing so then anyone I know. And yet he STILL put it on the line. He deserves it.
wow patrol the back bone of cpd gets 1 merit cloutorious pick
was it a district caps , tactical , review , secretary or a deserving beat officer
inquiring minds want to know
patrol 6 off the list , not bad considering district officers don't get many early ducks or time to study on the clock
remember by 2012 all promotions will be selected by resume , you know like the captains ,merit sgt , lt and command staff only cpds finest will move up the ladder good luck to officers without political clout
keep working boys and girls
you can see where the merits clouted police officers come from
if you don't have the phone call to get in a unit forget about a promotion in cpd
Steve "the Screaming Skull" Peterson's girlfriend, Mary Martin from 017 made Sgt? God help us all!!
No members of the Womens Tactical Association(K.B.) ??? WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I get a fucking event # !
Off Topic, but worth mentioning:
A thought just occurred to me - do you remember the infamous "warriors" e-mail that Dugan sent to his exempts in the Bureau of Patrol? The one where he challenged them to be warriors and take back the streets? Now that he's been dumped, he has a perfect opportunity to become a "warrior" himself. How much of a warrior can you be at O'Hare Airport, especially since they created a lieutenant's position there for you, and you're barely there anyway? Some WARRIOR you are, Danny Boy.
Torres from the DOC! Cmon!
I guess this is the best nine to represent the department. I'm gonna file a suit! When I do, I'll post it here. At least in discovery they will have to defend or identify their definition of merit. Class action to get rid of this bullshit merit system.
Hey could someone post how many years the merit people have on the job?
Congrats Larry
I thought Roman was on the outs for talking about Masters, Masters, Masters behind his back. Apparently his penance was to pick for J-FLED so his name is not attached as a sponsor.
8/13/2010 03:53:00 PM
Masters doesn't know about Roman calling him
a "little over educated Shit!"
Esmelida Torres! The world's greatest cop -- just ask her!
Bud Parade...While POs sweat and deal with the BS, the women of tactical training and KB Unit 111 will be off and doing swat type training on sat. Imagine that No slips no time off. BTW What is KB's DOG?
As usual, lots of bitching, but Floyd congrats. You've got the time and experience, good for you.
Uh Oh, did Tracy Ladner spill the beans to try and stay out of Hot Water with the Hall?
Apparently GoldSmith's never made the cut and Weis put him in anyway. Tracy is afraid she will be the scape goat when this hits. Considering there were two Shackman monitors from the city there when the original list (without Goldsmith) went to Weis.
So how did Goldsmith (Weis' driver) get on the order? Inquiring minds want to know.
Congratulations to L. Snelling. It's about time and I'm sure it's all worth the wait. Thank you very much. You've been very helpful when I was in the Academy.. I truly hope that they assign you to my District and I'll be more than happy to work for you. Again, best wishes and congratulations.
The Sup's driver probably deserved his "merit" promotion. Imagine having to associate with that bafoon supt. on a daily basis. Being around that joyless creep 24/7 would be sickening to most.
Congrats Neil M from 650! Great guy
Thank God K.B. from the policy group ain't on the list. Now I can peacefuly go to sleep....
For the record - Brian Kinane is a sexy beast. I wish him all the luck in the world!
congrats larry skol you earned it and did it on your own.
Congrats Melly....you deserve it kid. You helped clear a lot of murders when you were on the homicide team here in 193. A lot of evil MF's are in the joint because of you. Hope we see you back here soon.
Who is Melly's clout? or juice, so to speak?
8/13/2010 03:33:00 PM
Melly what sin did you have to do to get this. this is pure bullshit.
Regardless of the general sentiment about merit promotions, Snelling from the Academy is a great guy, a stand-up guy, and an inspiring instructor. And any recruit who had him would likely say the same thing. It's good to see him on the list. But it's too bad future recruits won't get to have him for PT.
Hey 3:38 PM
Since you know so much , what color underwear did Jack & the Cmdr. wear last night . MORON !

Agreed. Great guy that will make a fine SGT.
Snelling is one of the best! Congrats Larry!
5,000 officers in patrol amd one meritorious pick. Work hard officers, you may be that one in 5,000.
snelling a great pick for merit. he's one of the guys that I worked a ton with in 002 when the buildings were up and he did a lot of work in 007. he's the police. Even if he became the main PT guy at the academy. lol. like this merit pick a lot. he doesnt have head in sand like a few few of those merit picks i've come across on the list. but I wont badmouth them here. those soon to be under them will find out. plus, who wouldn't want snelling to assist u in a street fight?
hey shakman UNIT 650 SURE LOOKS clout heavy
A patrolman (Roti) and a retired Sgt. (political hack, former Townsend secretary, Roman)and a three time merit himself (Carothers) all get merit picks. Only one district law enforcement DC gets a pick (and you can lay odds was told who to submit). Merit is the biggest joke on this dept.
Snelling, Larry, is a great pick. About time that man got what he deserves. Every recruit who came out of the academy during the Snelling's era would definitely agree. One of best instructors and one the most dedicated to his work. It's unfortunate for future recruits who will not experience the Snelling welcome to the gym, oh wait there are no more recruits coming so it doesn't matter. Congrats to Snelling again.
I'm gonna give you 25 push ups when i pass by your roll call Sarg.
DeDore, Jack M - Unit 193 - Cmdr S. Roti
first of all Sam Roti is the Commander of the Mayor's detail and he is only a patrolman. Secondly he made a deal with Jack for him to leave the detail he'd make him a sergeant. Third they are both asses
8/13/2010 03:38:00 PM
Whoever posted this is a complete MORON!
You don't make a deal to lose Deputy money, to make Sgt. Most guys on the Mayors Bodyguard detail make upwards of $150,000 a year.
Asshat why don't you post your resume and DeDore can post his. I think you will be embarrassed.
Quit writing shit about me or I'll have you dumped like I did Dugan
Signed:
Robert Roman...
Will Torres is a good selection. He is a former U.S. Marine and was tested under fire, being shot on this job and killing the offender in an ensuing gun fight.
That said, wasn't he awarded merit Detective for his bravery? I'm just saying...
I hate the merit process in general, but am at least glad to see Joe Salemme nominated someone of high caliber. Unlike many of the others, who nominate those who, many times, are very undeserving!
CONGRATS LTs . BRADLEY and RAY RAY!!!!! (oh is it too soon?)
at leat the merit picks arent racial ha ha
First time, I don't know a single soul on that list.
Still think the merit hacks should be reminded every day that they don't belong.
Carothers didn't have a pick of his own. He was told who to nominate as a return for his promotion.
I love being passed up on the list. But maybe I'll be in the next class.
the girl from 10 dist was in units for years and just went back to 10 to get the promotion. what a joke
Lifelong Merit picking Merit.
Looks like big favors for carothers. Wonder what his brother knows?
How come policy group girl KB isn't on it yet? She's done a lot.
Weis has an opening for Merit Sergeant, I mean DRIVER!!
If any of you want a merit promotion try applying for Weis's driver. Two for Two.
But first Kiss Roman's ass since he makes all of the recommendations for Driver...
Roman! Carothers!
Give me a break.
Congrats to Kevin Kendzior (024) good policeman,very smart guy and even better person. He'll be good no matter where he ends up.
I guess all the DeDore's have been taken care of. Time to move on.
I'll say one thing. The transparency provided by showing everyone's sponsor has definitely given us a new wow factor. I mean WOW.
Again, just one schmuck from patrol. That is simply amazing considering that is where most of these new Sgt.'s will go.
I know it's like beating a dead horse but how does Roti's guy get made? I mean I know how but Jesus Christ.
Just another kick in the balls to anyone out there working. And considering the working climate this city/department should take care of anybody that still sticks their neck out.
And I'm not some bitter blue shirt. I'm happy where I'm at and will never take another test.
Just another sad day for many.
Congrats to Snelly!
Congrats to Charlie and Larry!!! You guys are two deserving coppers and I hope you make your way back home Charlie, we miss you.
First off, Charle Brown is Ernie Browns' pick, he worked for him in the 3rd district. Charlie is a good guy, quiet and reasonable, Ernie Brown couldn't sponser him especially with the same name, I guarantee you that Carothers doesn't know charlie brown and was told to put him in.
My God....Carothers just got into the seat, and his pick sailed through? That's it. There is no respect left in this Dept.
And J-Fled's driver? Of just over 4 months or so? I guess he received the 'nod' for whisking J-Fled away from Englewood on that fateful "J-Fled" night! Way to go
Floyd!! That promotion is worth (over time) even more than a taxi driver MEDALLION!
Seriously, we are no longer a respectable dept., but I'm sure everyone knows that by now... And one question remains...where has 'Rick Flair" been all this time? Anybody have the answer to that? Haven't seen the Blond Mopper around in ages...
Glad to see Yolanda Talley make it! Hard working, and deserved!
Go Yolanda!
Snelling will do well...hope he goes to 003 and cleans house.
I wonder who has the longest time on the job.
I second Tobias' pick. Larry Snelling is an amazing officer and an excellent instructor. If anyone has merit, it is him.
Roman is Shortshanks's guy, so Roman likely isn't concerned about
Masters (x3). It's probably akin to both guys each having one of Daley's testicles in their mouths.
Congrats Kevin K from 024...you know who this is. Wear those shirts well, my friend. I knew you would make it! Hope you get where you wish to go.
snelling was the only good pick. The guy is dedicated and as hard working as they come.

Let's see...Larry Snelling. He's been in the academy for what....over 10 years as a gym instructor? I'm calling it now..he'll be on the streets less than a year and somehow find another sweet gig for another 10. Mr. tuff guy himself.
The names after the picks are like rubbing salt in the wound. Not only are they telling you they are cheating the system now they tell you who is doing it. Its like the guy that steals your car then drives past and laughs cuz you can't catch him.
Hey I thought Roti was a PO who is the commander of the mayors detail. So he really is not a real commander. He got a pick. WTF. J-pud and the midget are sure f***ing ruin things.
Id like to know what qualifies them for merit instead of who put them in. There are a few that don't even have thirty honorables. And i know that having a lot doesn't automatically qualify you to be a supervisor, but at least its a little bit of an.indicator that you are the police.

And being shot is a good reason for being merit, not because you drive J-Fuck around or get the mayors wife milk. And no I don't know Torres but I been around long enough to know being shot should deserve some merit! Period

NO ...not because he's in shape.....however....if YOU needed help training or needed some more time PT time in an effort to get something right....he is willing to stay after work and do it with you till you get it right. how many p.o.'s can you tell me stay after work to help out another on paper work on a DUI for example . Most of the guys on my unit laugh at you walking out the door cause you stepped on shit!!!!! more blue shirts (or former) like him are needed.
furthermore, i agree with you on the merit process, however i feel that something positive at least came out of a stupid process.
finally, if you dislike the guy or have issues with him......you have testicles!!!!! GO TELL HIM UP FRONT AND PERSONAL!!!!
once again congrats L.S.....008 3rd watch
Congratulations to Magda! You earned this and you will make a great Sgt. You have people skills, intelligence and street smarts and are humble. Keep it real woman! Way to go!!!

You're out of your fucking mind!

Christ, I hate to see what goes for hard work in your unit/team.

For all u cowards talking smack about Larry Snelling, I would love to see you cowards tell him all this to his face, wait....you won't tell him to his face cuz you're all a bunch of cowards. Larry was my home room intrsructor when I came on the job. Yeah he's been in the academy for 10 years or so but from what I hear, he was a legend in 007 before he went to the academy. Good pick by Tobias. And to that coward with the "tuff guy" comment about Larry, ur the biggest coward of them all talking you're smack on here, you're a computer tuff guy. Congrats Larry.
For the next test, do we have to write our names in pencil??

Snelling, Larry, is a great pick. About time that man got what he deserves. Every recruit who came out of the academy during the Snelling's era would definitely agree. One of best instructors and one the most dedicated to his work. It's unfortunate for future recruits who will not experience the Snelling welcome to the gym, oh wait there are no more recruits coming so it doesn't matter. Congrats to Snelling again.
I'm gonna give you 25 push ups when i pass by your roll call Sarg.
8/13/2010 07:18:00 PM
You base his promotion on the time he had you in the academy? Because he was there does not mean he knows $hit. Do not confuse someone you may like with a good supervisor. He did not make Sgt because he was a good Officer, he made it because he had a phone call.
Here endeth the lesson.
I am a lieutenant, but I know longer can ask my people to go out and work with a clear conscious. I have no say in these matters but I feel like I should apolagize I am so embarrassed.
Lt.
From your grammar it appears that you may be a merit pick.

To everyone who made it off the list congrats. To everyone who stole a spot on merit....fuck off and die. And no I'm not jealous, I've been promoted the legit way.
8/13/2010 04:59:00 PM
.........
I agree.
I made my promotion legit too. It kills me those who congratulate those who made merit. Here is an idea.............Hey A$$holes!!! try passing the test and making Sgt legit!!!!!!!
Those who make it by merit should be ashamed.
Just wanna give Charlie Brown a congrats. I don't know exactly why Carothers was the one who had him as a pick but I'll tell you what, Charlie was a great teammate. He was on SWAT for several years. You never had to worry workin w/ Charlie cuz you knew he ALWAYS had your back. Each and every guy on the team respected and liked him. We'd love to get him back as a Sgt. Charlie is a good cop and will make a great Sgt. Merit spots always piss people off but I guarantee a few years from now if you were to ask the people workin for CB will be glad to have him as a supervisor.
GOOD LUCK CHARLIE, JUST REMEMBER THEM PINK DOLPHINS WHEN YOU GET ANGRY!!!
Hmm strangely Sammy Roti mayors commander got a pick, a former guy from mayors detail, and gets the promotion NICE!
Anonymous Anonymous said...
DeDore, Jack M - Unit 193 - Cmdr S. Roti
first of all Sam Roti is the Commander of the Mayor's detail and he is only a patrolman. Secondly he made a deal with Jack for him to leave the detail he'd make him a sergeant. Third they are both asses
8/13/2010 03:38:00 PM
True "fat SAM" a patrolman, had jack leave the detail in order to do this! Nice how can patrolman nominate anyone? The way they talk behind each others back and now this bullshit! Yea boss i want to work really hard give me an event number please!
Anyone who gets upset about merit list, etc. etc. Hello!? Seriously get over it, if you don't already know Chicago is the most corrupt city in the nation, then you shouldn't be on the job. It's all a scam, Hello! That is why I am never taking a promotional exam ever again, do my 20, and get the heck outta this hole that they call a city. Don't give yourself any more stress thinking about what a joke this place is, we all know its a game, and unless your part of the Elite Chicago Royalty, you will never become anything on this job.

I have always liked Angarone, but do you mean ti tell me he had no one in the biggest district in the city he could have put in. Ant then Roman and Roti get people selected they have less then 25 people working for them. Lets see if they ask about the Deartments morale again.

Roti has excacltly 9 yes 9 guys and he is making 160K + a driver for his fatass!
Det. Torres came from 014 where he was shot in a domestic and he returned fire (After he was Shot)and the hillbilly was gone. that's his story.
period.
8/13/2010 05:28:00 PM
And being shot is a good reason for being merit, not because you drive J-Fuck around or get the mayors wife milk. And no I don't know Torres but I been around long enough to know being shot should deserve some merit! Period
8/13/2010 09:35:00 PM
I was in a shooting where I wasn't shot. Since when is getting shot a badge of honor. I thought we were taught NOT to get shot.

Off Topic, but worth mentioning:
A thought just occurred to me - do you remember the infamous "warriors" e-mail that Dugan sent to his exempts in the Bureau of Patrol? The one where he challenged them to be warriors and take back the streets? Now that he's been dumped, he has a perfect opportunity to become a "warrior" himself. How much of a warrior can you be at O'Hare Airport, especially since they created a lieutenant's position there for you, and you're barely there anyway? Some WARRIOR you are, Danny Boy.
8/13/2010 05:53:00 PM
The airports are getting 80+ officers by Nov 1st he will train the warriors!
Being shot means you got shot. Period. Should you get taken care of ? Of course. But a sergeant has to know what he is doing in the field. Being shot ain't gonna answer some po's questions on a job.
Everyone bitches about the merit system. Blame the FOP they are the ones who allowed this crap to start. The the Capts back in the 90s. They were the first ones to cave.
Putting the sponsors names didn't exactly quell the complaints now, did they? Look at them.
So J-Fled pretty much spells it out for you, if you weren't paying attention. If you are in Patrol.....you can go to hell.
the girl from 10 dist was in units for years and just went back to 10 to get the promotion. what a joke
8/13/2010 08:06:00 PM
Are you the STUPIDEST person on the Department? With the exception of her they're all from units, you f--ing Idiot!!!
Leave the unit to get promoted? Go back to sleep...
Maybe if you worked you would be recognized.....
To the guy who said Jack made his bones in 010. I wasn't going to make a comment, however what about all the guys who are still in ten. Jack never in pressed me but I guess I wasn't the guy to kiss up to. Deputy Chief Keating put him on the mayors detail. You don't get on there for the work you have done. You get put on there for kissing @$$ and if you don't no that then that's why you aren't on the list. There are Police Officers who are walking around with bullets in them, there are Officers who have killed people in the name of protecting this city and get nothing. So don't talk about bones. This department gets me sick. They treat the real heros like shit and kiss asses like gold.
Roman is Shortshanks's guy, so Roman likely isn't concerned about
Masters (x3). It's probably akin to both guys each having one of Daley's testicles in their mouths.

Hey Kid. Don't fall in love with you Academy Instructors. Don't always believe the "Legend". And don't assume LS will always win in a fight. Yes, most of the time he would kick my a$$, but I know how to play dirty. Do not confuse physical fitness with fighting skills.
'You base his (Snelling's) promotion on the time he had you in the academy? Because he was there does not mean he knows $hit. Do not confuse someone you may like with a good supervisor. He did not make Sgt because he was a good Officer, he made it because he had a phone call."
NOT true. Snelling never reached out to anyone. It's good to see a few GOOD PEOPLE on this job move up. Good for Snelling. He's a proven leader in the job he has (had) and he'll be a leader in the streets as a Patrol Sgt., where he is sorely needed. I just hope the Academy has someone there who is ready to step into some very big shoes to fill over there.
Good luck to you, Larry.
Congrats Skol..... nice job...
Ptaskowski (TAZ) 021. Way to go Taz, you will be missed in 021.
Let's see...Larry Snelling. He's been in the academy for what....over 10 years as a gym instructor? I'm calling it now..he'll be on the streets less than a year and somehow find another sweet gig for another 10. Mr. tuff guy himself.
If Larry spends some time on the streets, the youngbloods in the Districts will greatly benefit from it. If he's called back to the Academy, the future hires will greatly benefit from it. From where I stand, it's a win-win situation for the Dept. Snelling won't do any worse than the P. T. instructor from years ago at the Academy who was promoted to Sgt. eventually died a bust out crack addict only weeks after being forced to retire to spare the Dept. any further embarrassment.
Snelling is an honorable dude who's done a great job at the Training division who won't embarrass the job. How many people can we say that about today?
Funny how people who dont even know Snelling are making negative comments about him. It's not where he ended up but it's where he's been. He's a former Englewood Ranger who work tact. Hell of an officer who took a leave and came back. upon his return, because of his knowledge and physical fitness they kept him at the academy. Perfect fit dont you think? A person who has worked the street and who is at least 40, can run circles by the majority of officers. Thats the guy you want training recruits!
This is what merit was made for. Not for the guy who has spent 15 years in the district and has wrote 10 tickets a month and now he deserves a spot because he is from the district.
Congrats Larry
NOT ONE OIF OR OEF VETERAN!!! WTF BALCER SO BEING A WAR VET MEANS NOTHING ALL POLITICAL BS.LEAD YAH RIGHT. WHAT MERIT? the wannabe bs police leaders.Can't wait to see the Lt list. ray ray the super marine swat guy-combat hero from the Gulf War. This list proves this job is a joke. Keep doing more and theink you will get some place.
It is truly shameful that what use to be a proud and respected Department has been ripped to pieces by politicians, reverends, feds and other political hacks. All their meddling has completed eroded the morale of the core of this Department (Patrol). Just looking at the merit selection reveals that there was a lot of undue influence by non department entities. I am sad and worried at the direction this Department is heading.

This has nothing to do with anyone being scared of your boy. who said anything about fear? You see, the street copper, for the most part, doesn't know what fear means anymore. Sure we may fear for safety of our families, our pensions..stuff like that. But the STREET cop doesn't fear saying what you have to say to anybody's face. It comes with working the streets. This man is a good guy..no doubt. Always helped recruits and all that. But his merit didn't come from getting shot, saving a life or making the arrest of the year..it came from being in the academy for 10 years and having a call. This department is truly a joke.
If your not working in a specialized unit you don't have a chance of merit.
THE REAL WORKING POLICE ARE THE BEAT COPS. WHY NOT PROMOTE MORE OF THEM???? I WORKED IN UNITS AND PATROL AND PATROL IS BY FAR THE HARDEST TO WORK IN.
I don't usually pay too much attention to what the dumbfucks downtown do, but you mean to tell me Fuckshanks appointed a fucking patrolman to a Commander, and put him in charge of how many fucking people? 8 or 9?
So Dickhead Daley just doesn't feel important enough without making an exempt spot for a fuckin' patrolman to be in charge of a handfull of suckass putzs?
This HAS to be a "Commanding Officer" spot, and with that, who the fuck says this fuckin' patrolman is qualified to dictate who should be promoted?
I just can't choose who to turn against first, Weis or Daley these days.
Don't get too upset...there are two Commanders on the Mayor's Detail. Dedore left and the plan was to put him in. No one can make anything from the Mayor's Detail. They have to leave...we knew this a long time ago about Jack! Good Luck!
WHAT A SHAME FOR THE PATROL DIVISION, SO MANY GOOD OFFICERS GO UNNOTICED.
Roman's son is also on the Mayor's Detail...who would have thought!
I know the merit hacks are just that......... There is one on this list that isn't. And the one being screamed about alot here........ Charlie Brown Unit 153...... Recommended by Carothers. I worked with Charlie for 5 years in SOS, and he is the working mans Police. Clout, who knew? He never spoke of it, he never said a word, he worked hard if not harder then most. Bringing in a ton of pinches, good ones, not bullshit...... Always a gentleman and built like a brick shit house.... If anyone had your back it was Charlie. He speaks in a whisper for being 6'7, never took his size as an advantage. He was always fair on the street, and measured himself in every situation. He IS the POLICE. The soul patrol Charlie remember that?? LOL.... Congrats dear friend. I am happy you are wearing the stripes now!
When I saw the list it made me smile for one reason, Charlie Brown. He was an awesome partner and is the "Gentle Giant". Always there to back up other Officers and did his job to the fullest. Going above and beyond ALWAYS!!!!! Congratulations Charlie you have always been blue and blue all the way through!
xoxoxo
Pepper!
In an effort to congratulate a friend who made the list on her own...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Let's not wreck it for the ones that did make it on their own!!
To all of the "I am never testing again because...blah blah blah."
I hope you don't.
Being a Chicago Police Officer is a career choice. It is one of only a few careers in the world that allow any employee to earn a promotion through a test. But first, it has always been "the job." A job to support your family and yourself. Never forget it. There is a difference between being dedicated to a job and knowing why you are doing it. If you are so smart and clever, then you should be taking every test. Every time. Your so-called pride does not increase your pension, pay, or ability to change things. Getting promoted might someday - even if it is the City of Chicago.
Their was only one merit pick from Patrol. That is amazing. POs working the beat cars get the shaft again! Three merit pickes from 189 is a disgrace. I don't begrudge the merit selections. God bless them! However, the lack of merit selections from Patrol shows a lack of transparency. Congratulations to Larry S. He is a class guy.
Those who make it by merit should be ashamed.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Would you take it if it were offered? I ask myself that, and in all honesty, I am not sure of the answer. Not that I will ever get the chance.
I agree with what everyone is saying about Snelling expect that one troll of course.
Had the pleasure of running into him a couple of times here in 003 (where he lives).
Great instructor, hopefully he'll make a good SGT and hopefully we get him here in 003.

8/13/2010 09:35:00 PM
Being shot means you got shot. Period. Should you get taken care of ? Of course. But a sergeant has to know what he is doing in the field. Being shot ain't gonna answer some po's questions on a job.

I have been in shootings too. I'm not saying it should be automatic to get merit Sgt. The point was he should be rewarded over the do nothings that everyone else on this blog is bitching about. I don't know any of these picks but like others have stated why are do nothings, J-fleds driver and the mayors guard detail getting merit spots. Do you want them answering P/Os questions or supervising them. Hell No!

True, but you getting shot or not might of been a matter of 1/10 of a second or millimeters. Getting shot is merit.
To the guy who said Jack made his bones in 010...
Ok, I usually don't read this thing and almost never post anything here but I have to say something. There somewhere is the makings of some anti-010 sentiment. I've been a policeman for 32 years and the Marquette District has always had great cops. Snethen? Marquette alum. Denny Keane? 10th District warrior. Anyone whoever went to Br. 66 (you kids will find out that's Murder/Rape court) knows the names Dedore, Jack S., Buzzy, 6-foot, Slick and Smoothe. Dickie and The Hammer were like utility infielders: they could do it all, CSA or Crim trespass. Commanders JAK, DK, and DC-CCG JK are all from that breed. No Serpico bullshit, never any hint of wrongdoing, just lock the bad guys up and spin a few at My mistake.
None of you would have the stones to say anything to these guys faces. Lay off the bullshit. Pick on the hacks (and they're on the list) who don't deserve stripes. And get over yourselves.
Very sad for the Commanders. How do you expect the people that you command to ever work for you if you can't even pick one officer from your own district??????
Jack will the lucky one from the body guard detail after the Maryor gets voted out. I can't wait to see those guys in the District.
To anyone talking shit about Larry Snelling he is a worthy pick and he was a stand up policeman.
J. GRAHAM
news flash get out of patrol any way you can. They do all the work and get 0 credit just look at the merit picks.
To all you folks crying about poor Patrol. I've worked in units, started in Patrol and am back in Patrol. Patrol is very over rated, with many pooches out numbering the workers. You get back what you put in, deal with it.
What? Only 7 po's on the list that are in districts? What a shame!

The commanders can pick one from their district. There is just no guarantee any of them will make it. Obviously.
Excuse me, I have to go watch something legit, roller derby and Chicago politics.
As far as Charlie Brown goes, I didn't know him too well, worked in the same unit for a bit, but the one time I needed assistance, he had my back without blinking. Even after all these yrs. I remember that. Other than that was a quiet, nice guy, so I say Congrats, good for you and good luck!
Will Torres Merit Det Merit Sgt
Torres 010 what a joke out of all the real Police in 010
Charles Brown? Any relation to Downtown Ernie Brown?
Fooled again.....Melly (010) and Dedore same team in Unit 153..so technically zero merit from patrol division...she left 153 to 010 to get sgt merit
This shit has gotten much worse under jfled. I know he is shortshank's puppet, but just because you post merit with a sponsor's name does not make it legit. Giving criminals and gangbangers merit picks on this once great department is disgusting. You, jfled are an asshole! This department resembles Harvey and Markham more and more every day.
I was in a shooting where I wasn't shot. Since when is getting shot a badge of honor. I thought we were taught NOT to get shot.
How in the fuck can you even say this considering the 3 officers that have been killed just this summer. These officers fought for their lives and lost that day. So the officers that are shot on this job and survive should be taken care of for the rest of their careers. Why don't you come down to the academy and talk to Mike Lappe or better yet just see him walk around.....thats fucking honor you piece of shit.
I simply can't believe that any police officer worth a damn in this entire world would make a statement such as yours.
Congrats L. Snelling. You deserve it. You made us hate you during our workouts, but once the workouts were over you were always helpful in a genuine way.
For all those talking shit, all the instructors do go back to the street one week every two months. And where? Englewood. You can talk all the shit you want, but who paid the ultimate sacrifice recently? One of the best academy instructors, R.I.P. brother. We will miss you T.S.

You must be a MERIT LT as you can't spell for shit......
Merit just means too dumb to pass the test.
Torres from 650 is a good guy but he already received a bump for his incident which has been misrepresented here.
His actions in 650 were medicore at best. There were many others more deserving. Don't believe it, ask Wil and he will tell you. At least he is honest.
NOBODY should receive two merit selections ever but expect to see these idiots promoted again.
If anyone in Patrol is still aggressive then you deserve what you get: 30 pending.
Unit 189, get over yourselves. How hard is getting dope out of the west and southsides? Yes, there are great offficers there but the majority walk around in their baseball caps asking to go home early. I know, I work there.
A lot was written about the academy instructor. Does anyone think he deserved it after 10 years of days with weekends off telling officers to say back sir?
Congrats to the legit Sgts.

Keep drinking the kool-aid, Mr. Righteous.
70% of what I will call lower to middle management which includes ONLY Sergeants and Lieutenants, are made by test scores. 100% of all upper middle and upper management appointments are made by 'MERIT'. This would include Captains, District Commanders, Directors, Deputy Chiefs, Chiefs, Deputy Superintendents, Assistant Deputy Superintendents, and Assistant Superintendents.
So lets say if there are 100 Sgt's & 100 Lt's made during some time frame your "career", you have a legit chance at 140 out of 200 total spots; and ZERO chance at ANY of the upper management spots. Total of 10 ranks, you can get into 2 of the 10. Thats 20%. The bottom 20%. Yeah, you're going to have the ability to change things alright. Don't kid yourself about this being a 'career' it is a JOB (unless you are connected)
You're right, my pride won't increase my pension, or pay, but I'd rather have my pride than be part of a BS promotional process.
As for the merit picks, just take a look at their complimentary history to see what the average guys and gals need to accomplish to get the merit bump. You will be very surprised.
