Hiring Sheriffs
For the first time in three years, a new class of Cook County sheriff's police recruits will start training for open slots in a move that top officials hope will fill the department's depleted ranks.
The new class of 25 officers, which includes existing courtroom deputies and jail guards, is part of a plan by Sheriff Tom Dart to fill a hole of about 50 police officers. They begin their training today on the campus of Triton College in River Grove, sheriff's officials announced.
Dart's plan to allow his deputies and jail guards the chance to shift jobs arose from his inability to secure funding to hire.
So Dart is pulling a Rahm here - he's calling them "recruits" when in fact, they are existing courtroom deputies and jail guards being retreaded as street officers.
In other news, Rahm is counting these as "50 more officers on the street," bringing him within striking distance of his campaign promise of 1,000.

Does their seniority carry over or do they start from scratch?
This is just a routine class for sheriffs police. The officers have always been pulled from the jail and courts.
All sheriffs police were either a deputy or correctional officer prior to being sheriffs police. You need a big phone call to get the spot. Its actually a sweet gig take home car, good pay, and the best is you don't even have to live in illinois to have the job. They have no residency requirement.
There will indeed be a special place in Hell for all of these greedy corrupt arrogant politicians. Count on it!
I used to work for Cook County as a Sheriff, you have to work either as Deputy or a Correctional officer first before you can work as a Sherrif's Police Officer. I'm not saying but im just saying maybe it's not all about smoke and mirrors with the county. Man I wish I would of stayed with them and applied for CCSPD. I could be living in St. John, Indiana right now! Instead I'm stuck with CPD for another 8 years till I make my 20.
That girl Sargent is very funny in the associated video.
I know youre being facetious, but let's not be like the media here. Rahm's promise was to hire 1000, not put 1000 on the street. Let's hold this jagoff's feet to the fire.
Thought they always took/or have to be either cook county court deputies or corrections officers applicants for the sheriff police spots???
The county needs a site like this. Oh what dirty secrets would cone out in the wash.
Its nots Darts plan , its always been a bided spot for jail guards and baliffs. You bid for it and whoever has the most juice gets picked.
I have zero respect for a dept that is entirely made up of goofs that their only requirements were that they know someone.
heavy CLOUT...need only apply..

Oh no, not more guys to call in for assist the off-duty Po stuff. Ever notice that most of these assist off duty calls are these jail guards playing police?
There is a county blog almost like this , not as popular-it's called "the couty guy"

it sounds like a good idea. more patrolman and eliminating useless unneeded deputy jobs

I say the same thing about the county and then I look at CPD and it is fast becoming much the same, who ya know and who ya blow, it's embarrassing.
No smoke and mirrors here, this is the way it is done in Cook County. One has to work the courts or jail before becoming a police officer. Although one does need a phone call (or at least used to), to some extent I like this system. It is like having to prove yourself to some extent before you become the police or working the menial job before getting the good job. Too bad we don't have a system like that here in shitcago. Instead, the clouted get hired on CPD and end up in a cushy job as soon as they get out of the academy, never having had to prove themselves.
SCC, all Cook County Sheriff's Police Officers come from the Jail or Courtrooms. The Cook County Sheriff's Police test is only offered to current Cook County Sheriff Court Deputies and Correctional Officers.
The Sheriff's Police is not open to the public to apply. You must be a court service deputy or correctional officer first. You DO need clout to get the position. Every county commishioner, strogers, daley, sheehan, dart, get their people in to the Sheriff's Police Department. No clout = no job.
a lot of sheriff's departments only hire police officers from the ranks of their existing corrections.
it is tough to get COs so they get people who want to be cops to become Cos this way.
I also read one time that it may have something to do with wanting the POs to have corrections experience in case they need to use them in that role.
Like us move the chairs on the "Titanic" same results, nothing to see here! So now the jail will be down more needed guards? Wonder how many jail guards will be hurt or KILLED by the savages??

Bingo!!No smoke and mirrors.
You want to save some money in Cook County Gummint? Trim down the number of Sheriff's Flunkies (oh, no Deputies) assigned as bailiffs in our county's courts. They're everywhere, and unneeded.
Federal judges, whose egos are at least 50% larger, and who try actual terrorists and Blagovichists, do not have dedicated bailiffs. If they need security, they hit the panic button and they're covered in seconds.
Traffic court judges really don't needed dedicated judges. The Daley Center alone must have a corps of a couple hundred Sheriff's Flunkies. I bet it could be safely trimmed by 75%.
I have zero respect for a dept that is entirely made up of goofs that their only requirements were that they know someone.
Ill remember that when ur getting ur face smashed in by some shithead on a traffic stop. Maybe if ur lucky ill just stop and call the "real police" to come help you out. Or would you like this "zero respect" deputy to get out and help you fight the bad guy so you can go home to your wife and kids? Be careful what you attitude is towards other LE agencies. Like it or not we are still the good guys. I have helped out countless numbers of CPD officers in my short 8 years on the job, and despite asshats like you i will continue to do so, cause its the right thing to do.
SOP. Move along, nothing to see here.

CPD will be holding a recruit class 17OCT. Final POWER test letters have gone for eligible candidates.
There will be close to 60 recruits, not much, but better than nothing I guess...
Hopefully 2012 brings us some better news.
"How To Lie With Statistics" is and old but still interesting book. Someone should come up with a new edition featuring Tiny Dancer, Shortshanks and the rest of this bunch.
009 days
With the receint reveliations of the back door pension deals Daley, Madigan, Cullerton, Rock, and Jones made for their friends at the union we as contributing members should write a hand writen letter to the US Attorney asking for a federal investigation. Did they NOT just convict Blago on the charge of honest services goverment? Why not these thiefs!
I worked for County Corrections for 10 years before coming to CPD. No clout so I could never get even close to making CCSPD. The only ones who get it are the clouted fools. You think the City is bad, County is outright blatant.
scc, the only way to become sheriffs police is to either first be a court deputy or in the jail. You cant just walk in off the street and take a sheriffs police test. So, really there is no smoke and mirrors its just how the process goes. And they are not retreading the academy as you claim. They went through an academy to become jail guards or court officers. Now they will actually go through a police academy which is different. Before, they didnt learn any police procedures etc... so its not what you make it out to be.

That covers many specialized units within CPD and most city departments here also.
"I have zero respect for a dept that is entirely made up of goofs that their only requirements were that they know someone.

That statement could be directly applied to every Non Bid Unit in the CPD.

You must be talking about CPD, because I have worked for both. Before coming to CPD I thought the county was bad. CPD is just as bad if not worse. Sorry

More 19th Warders shaking down the Polish tradesmen along 47 and Central. The CCSPD cryed all night when Frankies burned.
Makes even the Forestview Pirates look legit.
Go figure
26 Sep a class of 50 plus fire lieutenants started. The CFD Can promote but not the CPD...apparently there are more promotions to come for CFD
When you consider the fact that Most County Officers have to do CO time before they are allowed to become "Sheriffs Police" this is a start.
They can't just go from the Jail or Courtrooms to work the Street and we all know this.
It would be like giving a CPD badge to anyone that already knew how to write Parkers in Chicago.
And @ 9/27/2011 03:04:00 AM
Do you mean CCSPD or CPD?
Traffic court judges really don't needed dedicated judges. The Daley Center alone must have a corps of a couple hundred Sheriff's Flunkies. I bet it could be safely trimmed by 75%.
Why don/t you go into the office at the Daley Center and talk your former F.O.P president Bill Nolan and give him that info. He is the A/C there. Make sure to go in with your baseball jersey and make CPD proud.

I'm CPD but just remember they are still the "Good Guys" I will back them as they will back me!!! They all deal with the same shit as we do!!!!
I'll bet-cha we put more criminals back on the street released from Illinois prisons then we put coppers since Rahm took office!
cook county bailiffs will be replaced by private security officers in 2013 .

The county guy won't publish anything that tries to deal with how useless the teamsters are. They let the sheriff's department run all over the officers. The county guy sucks and so do the teamsters.
If you don't have the clout you will not go to CCSPD.

You know, there's a reason we use capitals at the beginning of sentences and periods and exclamation points at the end of them. It's called 'readability' and 'comprehension'.
Your post is a pain in the ass to read and, despite its point, it isn't worth someone's time to read and re-read and re-read it again, to try to understand it.
If your huge ego/being special is more important than conveying your meaning, then by all means continue with your incomprehensible posts. They're easy to skip over.

What a lame blog they have. Seems like it is just a bunch of guys telling each other they suck,your clout this and that,you're a pu$$y and my all time favorite......I'm the police.
Anyone wish to share some stories concerning the "made" deputies or correctional officers who were given the nod to become the Sheriffs Police and then left to become CPD, where they really used their connections, etc.. to gain rank, and or, spots..
I got clout what you about??

i work in the jail and it sure isnt fun. i dont have clout and would love to get on cpd or ccsp, but i'm thankful for the job i have. i don't make much, but i can pay my bills and take my family on vacation once a year. would that much change if i got a spot that i want. all of our lives are shitty. i hear people say all the time only 4 more years or 15 more to pension, to retirement. clout or not we spend our whole careers looking forward to retirement, wishing somehow we could speed time up. thats a real bad goal, looking forward to being old so we dont have to do this anymore. the people that have juice or are on a unit end up the same way. the money is not that different, life its not that much better for them. i fight all the time, i see people get hurt all the time. its all the same shit no matter where you work or who you know. were all gunna have a small shitty house in mt. greenwood or edision park or some shitty suburb, a 6 for a wife and maybe a couple kids. it's all a joke. your neighbors may be on teams or cpd or ccsp, BUT THEY HAVE THE SAME LIFE!!!!!
