1,000 No-Shows
About 8,600 people showed Saturday to take the exam. The last recruiting drive in 2006 brought about 8,000 people to the initial test, Weis said. There are about 1,100 vacant positions in the department, Weis said, though he does not expect to be able to hire that many officers.
Weis suggested the higher number of applicants could be attributed to the promise of a secure, decently compensated position and a rewarding career in a demoralizing job market. People in some professions have to question their contribution to society, he said.
"A police officer never has that problem," he said.
City officials have said they were hoping to recruit more mature and technically skilled officers, and the minimum age for nonmilitary applicants was raised from 21 to 25, though those under 25 could still apply but can't be hired until they are 25. Military veterans can be hired at 21.

Why does the media keep saying this was a record turnout? I took the test in 81 and over 18,000 took that test, and THAT wasn't even the record!!!
Sheep. Just print whatever Jody tells you and don't bother to verify it.
"A police officer never has that problem," he said.
Just tell us, just what the fuck would you know about being a "Police Officer"?
j-fraud, you couldent hold an officers jock-strap.
Two words for you, bighead:
FUCK
YOU
Why does this city and department have this obsession with technically competent applicants??
This is NOT rocket science. Most of the people the police deal with most of the time are illiterate drunken stoned idiots.
So you have a degree some science degree. Wait until you try to have to interview a crackhead so you can write a meaningful report.
I am convinced that some of the street people were fly-dumped here by outer space aliens because no other planet would take them.
..and what is the over/under for test-takers that will get popped for warrants????
"People in some professions have to question their contribution to society...A police officer never has that problem". - Jody P. Weis
My interpretation? Jody Boy is subliminally surrendering to and verbally acknowledging the fact that he'll never know what this means, let alone ever experience this phenomenon.
That being said and all things considered, a mildly retarded chimp that does nothing more than masturbate and play with it's own shit all day is better representative of being a meaningful contributor to society than Jody P. Weis.
If you don't have clout DO NOT ACCEPT THIS POSITION! Apply to a department that at least PRETENDS to be legit! Without a phone call, the best you can hope for is a regular start time on the watch. The ONLY positive things about this dept are: Steady paycheck. Health insurane. Tuition reimbursement. If you make the TERRIBLE decision to work for CPD get an education on the city's dime and get out. You have been warned. Repeatedly. For those with clout that took this test........fuck you sir/maam.
6-8 weeks to get results from a scantron test that takes 2 seconds to grade. o i forgot?????????????
City officials have said they were hoping to recruit more mature and technically skilled officers
And there arent any technically skilled Officers to use right now?
Or do you mean new ass kissers that arent a threat to useless bosses? One lie after another.

"...Also, this is a fact that there is a Daley family member that has been on the fire dept. list since the last test and probably wont get hired cause of his shitty random number."
12/11/2010 09:48:00 PM
Son, you seem to be in need of some basic, remedial Daley-osophy... What we have here, "a Daley family member" and "shitty random number", is known as an oxymoron... NO, I didn't say Daley is a moron (though this is certainly true!).
An oxymoron is a paradox or two terms that contradict each other and don't belong in the same sentence... like "living dead" or "Hell's Angels".
In Daleyland, things DO NOT happen randomly or by accident.
So, the only answer to this craziness is:
1) He is from the WRONG Daley family, maybe from the non-criminal side of the Crime Family or the family of Lar "America First" Daly aka "The Constant Candidate".
2) The "random" number is not so random. Perhaps he's the black sheep in the family, which seems like an oxymoron in itself, (they're ALL black sheep!), and was purposely given that "random" number.
3) Having his name on the list is just a sleight of hand trick to divert attention from the fact that he is ALREADY drawing a city Fire Chief's pension or actually being paid million$ to invest their pension fund money.
4) While he is waiting to be anointed with a high level command position in the CFD, he is kicking back in Moscow with cousin Patrick and the Russian mafia, lavishing themselves in ill begotten riches and not really worried about earning their stripes, (another oxymoron?).
In any event, I'm sure that Mr. Daley, with the shitty random number, has learned to play off of the family name and will be quite comfortable even if he never becomes a firefighter. No need for you to pine over his "unfortunate" position in life.
It is a rewarding career if you don't slap some mope who needs slapping. If you do, it's federal prison for you. It is also rewarding until you get sued by one of the blood sucking vulture law firms in town. Then the rewards go to the guy you thought you were lawfully arresting.
It is also rewarding until you get into a life and death situation and have to shoot someone. Then you again have to deal with those lawsuits. (see above)
And if one of your co-workers slaps someone who needs slapping and you were there and you didn't instantly step forward to stop your co-worker and arrest him or rat that person out, not so rewarding there either.
Also not so rewarding if you happen to step in shit and get stripped of your police powers and get sent to the rubber gun squad and possibly spend years waiting for your name and reputation to be cleared.
But the rewards of a pension (recently reduced) are there, unless a future mayor decides not to pay into it any more or funding collapses. Then, not too rewarding.
And when you figure out that most of what every gold star wearing boss on the department tells you is pure unadulterated bullshit, well, you won't feel too rewarded.
And when you wonder what happened to that promotion or assignment you worked for and you see some connected but obviously less competent individual get it instead, yup, you guessed it, not too rewarding.
But if you can get through your career and not cause waves and don't shoot any future Nobel Prize winners from Englewood and you keep the blinders on and keep your mouth shut and write a few tickets and make some arrests of people who don't complain and the pension doesn't go bust and your wife doesn't divorce you, well, you get the reward of that reduced pension at age 55.
Best of luck to you.
I think somewhere down the line they will change the non-military age requirement of 25 to get hired simply for the sake of those cadets who got screwed. I am sure this compromise doesn't sit well for a lot of them, but we shall see. There may only be about 2000 max legit appplicants but only time and attrition will tell this story.

Wow, this could soon replace the old adage "the world is a circus and you (police officers) have a front row seat!
Cool, the press used "Weis" and "demoralizing job" in the same sentence.
Thats probably 1000 people who used common sense,something thats very important to be THE POLICE.We could've used them on this job because this department is seriously lacking it.
"Weis suggested the higher number of applicants could be attributed to the promise of a secure, decently compensated position and a rewarding career in a demoralizing job market. People in some professions have to question their contribution to society, he said."
Secure?Decently compensated??Rewarding??
How many officers have been thrown under the bus?

Thanks to the men and women of the 24th dist. last night who helped apprehend the two POS who attempted to brake into the car of an off-duty CCSD and beat him him pretty good in the process.

Go home safe,in one piece and happy with what YOU did on that tour.
You will be surprised how much better working for this department can feel, and you will be recognized by your sgt or another superior over time.
Happened to me, someone with no phone call,no family ever on this job,just a midnight po pushing a beat car. Who gave a sgt nothing to worry about, and when that sgt moved on....guess who he took with.
The ride was great,met a lot of great po's but also a lot of juice babies.
Some of those juice babies worked their tails off,others just waited for their turn.
I just did what was asked of me, had fun and learned a lot.
Sgt retired, they kept me on.

being a cop in 26 words--- attentive, brave, courageous, dedicated, earnest, ferocious, genuine, heroic, inventive, just, kinetic, lucid, manly, nervy, optimistic, pugilistic, quick, reserved, steadfast, technical, unabridged, vivid, worldly, xenophobic, yeoman-like, zanny--- the best cops I ever worked with were the ones who had common sense and there is no test for that....
7:21 AM: As a 25 year veteran I could not have put your thoughts on the "Job" any better. I give these new kids about 3 to 5 yrs before they think : "What the Fuck did I get into!"
Just love how the ivory tower and the media keep blowing smoke up peoples asses! All of these astute techno skilled applicants. This ain't NASA Weis! Broken down squads, half ass computer systems, building that can't pass its own city building codes, Then we have our layers of personnels, starting with POLITICAL APPOINTEES: i.e. J Weia...SIBLING AND RELATIVES of SOMEBODY: 1 year wonders, SHEETSHAKERS: the oldest profession,IOD TESTING TEAM: there are some in every district, unit and area. CPD ANIMAL TRAINING UNIT: dog asses, they are everywhere also....which leaves the reluctanted, overworked, misused, abused, kicked to the curb, blame it on them, stand alone Police Officers, who once a day scratches his/her ass and constantly asked "What the fuck am I doing here"?

piss? what is this piss you speak of? didnt they go to hair removal several years back?
My son who signed up for the police test had to fly out to California to process out of the Marine Corp after servicing our country for 4 years. He called personnel to see if he could take it on-line and was told they knew nothing about taking a police enterance exam on-line. Once again our fighting men and women get screwed by the system.
I took the test in 1993 and it was reported that almost 30,000 people showed.
Re: 1,000 No-Shows
Your last sentence on the 1000 no shows should have read:
"In any event, expect a class shortly before J-Fled (FLEES.)instead of leaves
Old Retired Guy Here:
I was swore in as a member of the Chicago Police Dept. The First Day On The Job. That's the way they did it back in 1970. I retired in 2003. Those were the best days of my life.
I had no clout. Worked beat cars, SOG, and the Bureau of Field Tactical Services under the Great Capt. Joe McCarthy. Got dumped out, when Capt. McCarthy did. Loved the Job. You have to use common sense. You have to "Know When To Hold Em, Know When To Fold Em, and Know When To Walk Away". If I was young again, I would have been standing in line to take the test Saturday.
Be Safe Out There; It's The Greatest Job IN SHOW BUSINESS !
20 percent of recruit classes will be filled with recruits with a military background. Once there are no longer military candidates, they will be completely filled with non-military candidates. It just gets the military people in quicker (actually a good idea.)
Another 500 will piss hot.
------
ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?!
Try at least 1500 to 2000 if they bother to show up for the rest of the exams.
You mean there will be a class at the end of March? Results won't be sent out until then. Then, the physical, psyche, and background checks occur. End of the year at best.
Supposedly, 20% of all new hires will have military backgrounds. We don't know if that will shorten the life of the list since no one has released how many military vets actually applied. In any event, expect a class shortly before J-Fled leaves.

Read CPD history. The idiots were given a baton and sent out to patrol the streets (walk the beat). Only the clouted got command positions.
The relatively new trend of CPD seeking out military vets is a welcome one. Too many kids who partied for four years in college and have no actual life experience or common sense getting hired is partly to blame for some of the idiot cops out there these days. I only hope that the ISP follows this lead and does the same. There are way too many immature kids on the job. We need more military types with common sense instead of college pukes with a sociology degree.

Those "blood sucking - vulture law firms" would and could not operate without the blessing of the city's politicians.
When you go speak to an aldermqan about a "problem" they refer you to a law firm who will sue the city and collect a tidy sum. Then the law firm kicks back to the alderman.
When is active duty military applicants going to receive information as to when and how THEY get to take the test?

Wrong. At least 30% will piss hot. That is almost 2000 applicants.

SO 20% FAIL RIGHT AT THE START OF THE PROCESS.
THROW THE DRUG TEST IN
THROW THE BACKGROUND IN
THROW THE POWER TEST IN WE SHOULD HAVE ABOUT 300 RECRUITS READY.
WHY WOULD U LIMIT THE POOL THE CITY NEEDED THE CASH ANYWAYS.

How do they grade the 180 personality questions and the 40 questions on Supervisor/leadership skills?
that was a 225 questionaire. I know that has to play a significant role into the score of the overall test? ANYBODY KNOW?
I mean come on 10 min for vocab and 9 min for recall..matching/numbers and letter

To the marine that had to fly out to California to process out of the marines after 4 years. You should have called and flown out after the CPD exam, and explained that you would be a few days late for the processing.

Hey! Aspiring recruit. A quick lesson: Never use the term "The Force" when discussing the CPD. We don't use "Perp" either. Nor do we wear badges. They're called Stars. This aint TV! And you'll have to pay for everything required to start your first day on Jackson.
Good luck.

It has been said before, but I will say it again.
If it is so bad, the next time you are on furlo, go out and try to find another job with your pay rate (at 12 years, 75K), 25 working day furlo, 6 BFD and 4 P-days. While applying, ask if you can be off sick for a year at full pay. Then ask if they offer full tuition reimbursement, all the way through law school. Then ask if it will be ok if you do the absolute minimum while working, then ask if you can spend all day bitching if you get told to do something.
And no, I am not a jody guy, or a masters guy or part of management in any way. Just a guy with 26 years on, who acknowledges that while we aren't in the best shape commandwise, that it's still a good job.
Stay safe out there!

I couldnt agree more. Some of the biggest jags on this job are G.I. Joe types. I often wonder, if they love that military shit so much, why didn't they stay and make a career of it? The most corrupt Sgt I've ever encountered was an gung ho ex Army Sgt. Currently he's doing time for working with 1 faction of dope dealers, while robbing and stealing from another faction. His sidekick, who rolled over and cut a deal, did his time and is back out. He was military too.

Maybe this should be its own thread.
When I was in study groups for promotion exams everyone had numbers of questions assigned to them to memorize and bring back so we could recreate the entire multiple choice exam.

Barney was Andy's cousin on the show.
I signed up to take the test.
I love to hunt for perps.
I can't wait to make my own collars.
Some day I want to sport a gold shield and wear it sideways on my coat.
If someone disses me or my partner (hopefully a hot female kick boxer and member of CIA, retired) They'll hit the bus sooner that you can say
fugettaboutit, in a new your minute
"My son who signed up for the police test had to fly out to California to process out of the Marine Corp after servicing our country for 4 years. . . . taking a police enterance exam on-line. Once again our fighting men and women get screwed by the system."

I'll be DAMNED if I let my son sign up for the Marines or this fucking job...
when you REALLY get screwed by this government (city or federal) don't go crying.

I could introduce you to a few ex military people that are so friggin dumb that it would scare the hell out of you. Come to the 1st watch in 010 and I'll introduce you to one. Military does not, has not, and will not guarantee that you will be a better cop than some "college puke". Just because someone chooses going to school instead of the military does not mean that they will not be a great cop. Just relax and realize that military or not - you can still be a great cop. You could also be a total moron.
That devil dog on 1st watch in 010 may be a rock, but i will gladly do 8 hours in the car with him. The marines gave him an edge that college will never give you! Dont believe me? Ask him about his 3 fuckin tours in iraq before you go posting shit anonymously on this blog. At least he works unlike some of those college kids that just complain how this department sucks and think they are entitled to EVERYTHING. Moron or not, i know he will have my back!

The 10th District First Watch has some of the best people anywhere working there. I have been around for a few years and I have never seen a better bunch, blue or whiteshirts working together. Anyone calls for help there and you get "10-Everybody". When they do get together, they all bring some skill with them, something from the military, something from college or something they learned when they got in trouble as a kid. Everybody brings something, shares it and takes something with them. That's getting what's called experience.

Good Luck and God Bless Your Son.

Off Topic sort of. Took the test. Have done some past body building/modeling. Does the pre employment drug screen look for any "performance enhancing drugs"? Just curious. Thanks.

If you don't have clout DO NOT ACCEPT THIS POSITION! Apply to a department that at least PRETENDS to be legit!

Gear is going to be screened in our piss tests per the new contract. I don't think it has been implemented yet though. You are going to several urine tests and a hair test throughout your pre-employment process. Bunch of dudes were on when I went through the academy 8 years ago. But they didn't test for juice on the job yet though so times may be different now.
I'd have shown up if I knew there was a green vest in it for me. Thanks for info on time. NOT.
Ask the number one accounting firm in the WORLD, that will never work for the city of chicago again, how the chicago police test is graded. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Sgts test made it through but the mayors office SEIZED the detectives test even though the firm refused to guarantee the results of the over eight million dollar testing process and stated they would never again deal with such a dishonest city again. What was your question?
J-Fed wants to know....what exactly would that performance be?
If you can't steal a decent gun by the time you're twenty five, what good are you tough guy?
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, has a dick the size of a snow pea, it's on steroids. That's the test Popeye. That'll save the city twelve million dollars. You're welcome.
For the record, court ordered Boot Camp is not considered a military background.
To Potential Recruit: Using drug lingo probably isn't a good idea anymore. Try to learn some conversational skills instead or better yet great places with cheap eatsin twenty five minutes or less!
Dear Mr 1981 Copper, In 1981 they weren't drug testing yet and let's face facts, you were pretty fucked up and seeing double. All 9000 of us were laughing our asses off as you took off all your clothes and did the Hokey Pokey during the smoke breaks. We meet once a month to "re-Hash" the event you crazy dude. Thank for the memories. PS Still have that rainbow afro?
I will NOT carry a baton until I am ISSUED a professional, bright, shiny twirling baton. I have abilities. I am being stunted!
I just wanna be big like J himself.
Im on gear on and off too and was also wondering about that.
