The Latest Name
The most recent flavor of the day:
According to the Chicago News Cooperative, the biggest name is Gil Kerlikowske -- currently President Barack Obama's drug czar. Kerlikowske met with Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel last week in Chicago and was back in town over the weekend for an interview with the Chicago Police Board, the CNC reported.
Kerlikowske's official title is director of White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Before his current post he was the Seattle police chief for 9 years and also had been Buffalo New York's police commissioner.
The CNC also lists the following applicants:
- Garry McCarthy -- Newark New Jersey's director of police, also a former NYC deputy commissioner
- Gene Williams -- Chief of Patrol, CPD
- Al Wysinger -- Deputy Chief of Detectives, CPD
- Deb Kirby -- Asst. Deputy Superintendent, CPD
- Michael Shields -- Head of security for CPS
- Dan Isom -- The Chicago Tribune reports that St. Louis' police chief has also thrown his name in the hat.
Was McCarthy the one who called Chicago's last supernintendo search a joke and rigged against outsiders? Or are we misremembering our NYPD applicants?

Mean Gene, Al Wysinger, Michael Shields, and Tina Skahill all suffer from the Area Two curse. They were all assigned there at one point, all but Wysinger were area chiefs Wysinger was the gun Lt. For about two weeks. Area two has been a dead end since before Noreen Walker.

Nope, that was him.
Anyone is better than that last goof we had. whoever gets the job im sure there will be all kinds of opions good or bad. bottom line is the troops on the ground are the ones that get the job done. lets take care of each other out there because at the end of the day all we have is each other.
and congrats to the Enforces for beatng Cleveland this past weekend.
Gil Kerlikowske + this guy is no friend to the rank and file.
Might be worse than J-Fraud
seiser now runs deb she has no chance...go seiser go
Wysinger?
Who is this guy's clout?
He is a very quiet nice guy but does not seem all that sharp.
He does not have a lot of experience out of narcotics.
What? Isn't Forrest Claypool available?
Hey, where's Waldo... err... I mean Ernie Brown?
I think McCarthy knows that with Emanuel, everything is on the up and up now, and he has a legitimate shot..........
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa!
SCC, you are right on one count, wrong on another.
McCarthy is the one who called the process a joke, however it was not last time. He, along with Joe DeLopez was a finalist in the 3 man Octagon match that produced Cline as champion.
Garry McCarthy said: "You will find me in squad cars, with Officers". Thats probably more than we could say for the other "applicants". I realize McCarthy has a rather checkered past. I still feel he is a strong candidate for the job.
I have heard from several people that Gene Williams will be a finalist. The Revs are backing Williams. Don't be surprised to see him as #2 in the CPD.
I still like Skahill but I hear maybe next time for her. She will not be the next Supt. She will get a bump and get groomed for the top spot.
Do not be surprised to see a Fed in charge again.
Bratton made the comment when he was in Chicago for a conference. I was there and I heard it. He said that the word is out there that the Chicago selection process is fixed and he would not waste his time. He also said that the politics are too intense in this town. He then took the LA job
Why would McCarthy, once again, put himself through the "Chicago sham" selection process? He seems to be a bit smarter than to twice fall for the same con job. Go figure.
After every boss came out unscathed from the Sos nonsese it will be Kirby. She killed all the Crs and did major damage control keeping all the gold stars out of harms way. She has proven that she will do anything that is asked of her.
Kerlikowske's career highlights as Seattle Police Chief, get ready:
Mardi Gras street riots that broke out in Seattle in 2001. Kerlikowske was chief then and ordered his police force to stand back and let the riot happen.
In March of 2001, the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild overwhelmingly (88%) voted no confidence in Kerlikowske
In December of 2004, Kerlikowske went shopping with his wife. He left his personal gun in his unlocked, unmarked police car, and the 9mm Glock pistol was stolen.
Kerlikowske has advocated bans on semi-automatic rifles and for requiring background checks on private sales at gun shows. In addition, he believes that gun dealers should be left open to lawsuits.
Kerlikowske allowed an officer, who has since been promoted, to establish the Get Off The Street program, or GOTS. This program aimed to help criminals by dispensing health information in an arrest-free zone. A recent analysis by the mayor’s staff showed the program made little difference in the lives of those it targets.
If its Kirby the department will continue to slide. She has nobody's respect.
how about jesse " the body " ventura--- former governor of state of minnesota and navy seal... ray mysterio and hulk hogan for 1st deputy and chief of patrol....
No it was McCarthy that said it. It's funny how money/power can change your mind about something.
I think it's all smokescreen for the play cousin to get slipped in just like when the transfer order comes out at 1701 hours on a friday.
The former NYPD guy who called the selection process a joke was John Timoney.
John was a powerful figure when he was NYPD...some guys hated him (he didn't take any shit from his Officers), but most guys who worked for him loved him because he was straight shooter who backed his guys who were doing their jobs.
When he was a precint Commander he used to go out on the beat and make arrests...tough old Irish Turkeybird (I think he's originally from Dublin).
He moved on to the Philly PD (he was the guy who they say invented the whole bike patrol and crowd control technique), and then Miami PD, where he got into some sort of beef, (can't recall right now what it was about).
He seems like he would be the perfect candidate, tough Irish fucker, real policeman, strong independent character, respected by the rank and file.
Of course, with qualifications like those...he is immediately disqualified from any consideration for the Supt spot.
Oh well.
I wonder is any of these guys realize they are walking into one of the worse jobs in American Law Enforcement?
SCC with rham changing ALL the deck chairs,me wearing a blue shirt and with only 2 years left, really what is a new big boss going to do,except for having the joke of an exempt structure shit in their pants?
All you people that thought JFLED was gone better think again, I have it from a very reliable source that says once Rosenweig's contract is up he is going to be the new administrator @ IPRA.....
Re: GIL KERLIKOWSKE
The Seattle Police Officers' Guild [www.SeattlePoliceGuild.org] is the largest police labor organization in the Pacific Northwest, representing 1,250 officers and sergeants in the Seattle P.D.
FOP Lodge 7 President Michael K. Shields is aware of this.
if you re arrange the deck chairs on the titanic...it s still a sinking ship.where s all the money for CTA-CPS going? those are my tax dollars.

•Seattle Police Officers' Guild (SPOG)
•Buffalo Police Benevolent Association
•Newark FOP Lodge 12
All have been provided with contact information for Chicago FOP Lodge 7 and this SCC blog site.
Both the disgraced coward Jody "J-Fled" Weis and Gil Kerlikowske grew up in Fort Myers, Florida and attended the University of Tampa.
Wysinger is an arrogant tool
Willaims is all about the black man being promoted but does appear to treat everyone the same
Shields has a past with the ladies, but looked out for the working coppers
Kirby is not qualified to work the desk.
Dont know much about the outsiders, but seeing Rahms history he will probably chose his DC buddy.
Wysinger is a great guy and always a professional.
Any Florida contacts aware of Gil Kerlikowske background as chief of police in Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce, Florida?
Area two has been a dead end since before Noreen Walker.

Please tell me that racist woman is NOT in the mix!?
Eugene Williams was a great commander in 015. He knew everyones name, backed up people on street stops, and always backed the working cops whenever you got in a little trouble(bs CR's...).
Hope he gets it. Could be so much worse.
Garry McCarthy (cousin to FOP McCarthy) a great boss, we will have the inside track.
Who cares who takes over ,will it change anything in a positive way,not really,this department needs to ask the workers ,what could we do to make your lives easier,for the hard work you do,day in and day out ,what can we do for you? They won't ask ,they don't care,so what does it matter who takes over! Even if they made no changes for our asking at least we could think they care,but again they don't ask and they don't care! So who cares!
Over 10,000 felonies currently being committed per month and not a single law enforcement official is taking action. NOT ONE.
This is in spite of the fact that the FBI and even congress knows exactly who the perpetrators are.
It's been going on for several years and continues today. Trillions of dollars...

I agree. Look how well everything turned out with Weis. Are you a moron or just have no memory?
Chief Daniel ISOM, St. Louis Metropolitan P.D., an African-American and lifelong resident of St. Louis, is another "outsider" applicant.
The SLMPD is represented by Missouri FOP Lodge 68 www.SLPOA.org
Well, anyway, no matter. Rahm will annouce his pick fairly soon. The pick has to be confirmed by the city counsel. If it is a white guy they will go after him, no matter who he is. If it a black guy, the white alderman won't have theballs to say much of anything. I wonder if the new superintendent will sell out just as the old superintendent did. As a matter of fact, all of the old superintendent did.
9:07...You're wrong about Mr. Tough Turkey Bird. It was McCarthy, SCC is right.

GREAT rumor. This should spice up the blog for awhile!
Why did Al Wysinger accept the Lambert Tree for that off-duty bullshit in 015? It demeans the CPD's highest award.
It was worth no more than an honorable mention at most.

It's nice to have dreams.
Its about the beat cop, well Ms. Kirby explain your vast experiance as street cop- None, explain your vast experience as a CPD exempt in patrol operations-None. Explain how you were the principal advisor to the Supt as his legal council and what advice you gave for not releasing the morale survey, also explain explain your advise to the Supton police sepration cases-LET THE BOARD DECIDE, You maam are one in the same when it came to rank and file who helped decimate the morale of the department with your vast legal experience which is none.

.....The Ballerino already knows who he wants and they are already approved by the Police Board. You will be told when HE chooses to tell you and nothing YOU say means sh*t, so stfu and gfy!.....
Right-On!
I knew there was more than one thinking person reading this blog!
Anybody that thinks that this hum-bug process will produce a fair candidate is an idiot!
The final pick has already been made my friends and the rest is just a circus act to please the crowd. The final pick will be a mouthpiece for the Mayor as always!
If I were mayor-elect Emanuel, I'd take a hard look at "outsiders", particularly Newark P.D. Dir. Garry McCarthy. According to the 2010 U.S. census, 70.7% of the Newark population is black or Hispanic. Under Mayor Corey Booker and according to some NYPD (McCarthy is ex-NYPD), he's been doing quite well in Jersey's largest city of 277,000.
In 2003 under Daley, the three finalists were Phil Cline, Joe DeLopez and "outsider" Garry McCarthy.
Daley played McCarthy like a fiddle as a shill for his "nationwide search".
No one can ever accuse me of being a "clout baby". If an "insider" is appointed, I perceive it as "business as usual" for clouted morons and political hacks.
I concede that in December, 2007, I hoped that "outsider" Jody "J-Fled" Weis could minimize the CLOUT factor in the CPD. I was wrong--terribly wrong. He will never live down his legacy of a clueless, lying COWARD and Daley's puppet.
Notwithstanding, I favor an "outsider" who not only "talks the talk" but also "walked the walk" as a street copper.
Fire away, "clout babies".
The Supt: The Gil
1St Dept: Mike(Obama)Shields
I just read THEE (NYPD) RANT. I did NOT say that Garry McCarthy is perfect for the job. Who is? In their wisdom, both Bill Bratton and John Timoney (both former NYPD) are not interested.
We're awaiting feedback from the Seattle and Buffalo P.D. on Gil Kerlikowske.
According to the sun times, wysinger is the front runner, where the Hell did that come from. Haven't seen or heard from him in years.
"Dr." Isom ..chief.....will not be missed.

Just read it....this guy is messy as hell! We have enough foolishness going on here...we don't need more.
Here's an article on Daniel Isom. He's fairly young, early 40's, but went through the ranks of STPD pretty fast starting as a patrol officer. He says that he's committed to St Louis and will stay committed if the Mayor of St. Louis is fully committed to keeping him there.
http://www.google.com/m/url?client=safari&ei=wRWwTdiON4jCNceRu5wD&hl=en&oe=UTF-8&q=http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/article_b781488c-6b86-11e0-ba36-001a4bcf6878.html&ved=0CCQQqQIwAw&usg=AFQjCNGZqH0o3jojfc-kDgKDrqtfnuCSMQ
Look it up, but Gil Kerlikowske ordered the Seattle police to take a hands off approach during the 2001 Seattle Mardi Gras riots, and 1 person died and 70 were injured with mega millions of damage to the City of Seattle. He was also arrested for Possession of Cannabis in 1973 in Ocala, Florida, but not charged. Do we want a another coward and former pothead as our Supt.?
Anyone who believes an outsider would be good for guys with no clout should look back to weis and his sham of a promotion system. the same was said before his arrival
Where is Ernie brown's name in the final list ?
I am a recently transplanted Chicagoan to DC-Today in the Post, Examiner and I think the Express were articles about Kirlkowske (spelling wrong,I know)getting ready to leave DC for CPD job-he also was quoted in one saying that he wouldn't have applied if he didn't want it. Given these are DC papers,there might be truth to this. You might want to check it out.
Stay safe CPD and thank you for keeping me safe all my years in Chicago.
I am an active PO here and I don't give a shit who the Supt. is. I am not getting promoted, I am in patrol, the backbone of the CPD. Near retirement. I really don't care about who the Supt is. Why would any retired guy give more of a hoot about Supt. than I do, or don't?
Beatlejuice for Supt. A Rubber-Chicken in every Pot...

Thanks for the heads up. I just read it on THEE RANT. The CPD is already way heavy on homegrown assholes and J-FLED more than filled our 21st century quota for imported assholes, so hope is Garry "Do You Know Who I Am?" McCarthy and Gil "Blunts" Kerlikowske both stay far away from Chicago.

===================================
Hey kid are you on drugs? Wasn't Jfled an OUTSIDER? He still made the promotions that he was told to make by the aldercreatures & rev-runs. And the next outsider will do the same as long as he is told to do it. Also a BIG part of the problem is that the FOP doesn't have langauge in the contract to prevent these promotions.
