Hey SCC fuck Lts. list for a minute. Want to ask why on Mon-Fri a fuckin helicopter has to fly overhead at Mt. Hopeless Cemetery and 3 CC Sheriff's cars and 4 to 5 022 District cars have to escort the fruenal procession into the cemetery. Every fuckin day. Know mopes from 022 on days love detail. Stay down for 2 hrs and dont do shit anyways. Fuck this. Live at 109 around Western and no police around. My garage was burglarized 2 days ago while this daily thing was happenning but mopes in 022 wouldnt have done anything anyways. Take a report? Fuck the report. USELESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moprah never gave a shit about Mary Lou Retton nor gymnastics now all of sudden she know everthing bout Olympics. Hey Moprah takes years of training to get these kids to Olympics. Parents spend tens of thousands of dollars and take kids to highly educated trainers. Dont get chilsen hope up by telling them you can do it by going to Chicago Park District foo free. Moprah quit being a fool
Congrats Lt. Kenny Bigg! You made it off the list and you are a prince of a supervisor! Thanks for the Lts. study material and the U.N. contact you gave me.
Congrats to Fabian Saldana. Off the list. Top notch guy, solid, Marine. I believe he will be a leader to keep an eye on. No political clout, but if ANYONE in this Department has a brain, they'll back this man for future promotions!
Big congrats to Rich McFarland. I didn't work for him directly but was on another team when he was a sgt in 211. Congrats Rich... You deserve it. Its been long overdue.
15 of 26 are in units. But thats also including the D unit.. so I guess those three dont count. That makes 12 from Units, 11 from patrol, and 3 from the D unit. Congrats to those that made it from the test. Congrats to the merit picks who have worked hard in there career and deserve it. To the others who were merit and have never done a damn thing, good luck... youll need it. Its hard to win over P.Os when they know your a hack and have done nothing. But I know at lease one guys on that list who got it by merit and DESERVES to be picked as a merit boss. We could all be so lucky if he could be getting a gold star one day. congrats boss you deserve it. I wont embarrass him by saying his name though. He knows who he is.
Let's see now..... Sgts, check! Lts., check! Dets........ Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? :::::::::::::::::::::: Crickets :::::::::::::::::::::!! (5) years.... Five flipping years!! Since the last class of Dicks... I guess none are retiring, or there is no crime to solve. Thanks Rahm. You puke! I'd blame Mcvommit, but he's a puppet of Rahm's so what's the point?
Congrats, Lt. Manto. Please assure D.Vale & old man Rodgers that by remaining obsequious to X/O Ryan they too will see a promotion. D.V. & old man Rodgers R the real deal. D.V. Remember U'r ring tone...."Look at this photograph. Everytime I do it makes me laugh." u'll do well at The Chicago Marathon" this year. 019 has had a great weekend so far. We're having a biggest loser contest in 019 & D.V. is gonna win it. Great job & U look great no matter who the actual 1st place is. Something like 70 lbs weight loss. Outstanding!
Forgue should not end up on this list. I hope he was not a merit pick, because that would be a horrible merit pick. Hopefully he doesn't end up running your watch.
Now that I am retired watching what is going on in the department and seeing some of the the clout sucking worthless slugs being promoted reminds me of the movie "Airplane". Now that my life won't be in danger working with some of these idiots I can sit back and LAUGH at the comedy show that this city is providing. The department is eating itself from the inside out. Hopefully I will be in a different state before it dies. Good luck guys . You are going to need it!
Finally Eddie Johnson can get at little rest now than Dwayne is off his coat tails for as long as the training is. I can't imagine a more qualified Sgt to be a Merit Lt. than Betts. After all the valuable field experience he has gained as a school sgt. CAPS sgt. and administrative sgt. will serve the patrol division well for the two periods he's is in a district until they make up an administrative Lt. position in the Central Area office.

Okay, brave man! Next time, we will send the funeral down your block so you and the neighbors can enjoy the gang bangers ravaging the street. Typical a*&hole from another district who tried bidding in and didn't make it. Your garage got burglarized when you were jagging youirself off in mama's basement. If you are the police, which I question, you sure are not much of a trained observer, making a lot of assumptions without facts. Try being nice to people, a little bit of honey is better than a mouthful of vinegar.
Congratulation to Sam Manto. A real gentleman and terrific sergeant. Just remember all those talks we used to have outside the (old) 019. Always take care of the troops and you'll be fine.

News Flash: The Sup had no authority in the merit selection, NONE, it came straight from city hall. The Sup interviewed prospective candidates only to portray he had influence to the sworn in the process when it was only smoke and mirrors. He had no say nor did he care who was promoted, he traded the merit picks for public support from city hall because the city is falling apart, crime is out of control and manpower issues. He'll be here for 3/4 years, why should he care? How in the world is the media taking a backseat to the increase in crime, because city hall controls the media. Dave Harris is a joke to the job (double merit) and an absolute embarrassment to the promotion. R.F. is a joke as well, but he made it off the list.

Couldn't be as disgraceful as the Sergeant Merit selections. A cop killer's son gets a merit promotion. Only in Chicago. Thanks Eddie Welch.
Wow...so a kid who's had nothing to do with the crime stated here that his father committed shouldn't have a chance to be promoted? Talk about fairness...
Sam Manto? You have got to be fucking kidding me! One of Chester Hornowskis old stooges who applied for Superintendent as a P.O. against Phil Cline. What a retard!
ONCE AGAIN, there is a name missing from that list. A play nephew to an Alderman, a baby sitter for said Alderman, a bootlick to two Commanders, a back stabber to fellow Sgts. a whiner to many a Watch Commander. A man who is born to be an Exempt. Sorry dude.
Kenny Bigg is a GREAT guy. Yes, before anyone starts, he's totally Liberal, but he's always fair and has been a great supervisor. Any District that gets him will be very happy. Knowledgeable, classy and not a Merit pick. Good Luck Ken!
And another bite for King-Smith...is she now a triple or a double merit? Following the trails blazed by great CPD leaders like B. West of 015 and M. Pena of 010.
She'll be a Commander before the end of the year. Disgusting.
Haters gonna hate! With the lack of promotions going on these days, whoever claims they would turn anything down is a damn liar. Congrats to all!! These guys took this damn test 5 years ago. Ridiculous...So when are they promoting detectives?? crickets..crickets..
updated 2 hours 47 minutes ago A man in his forties was stabbed outside the Lollapalooza music festival at Grant Park Friday night.
The attacker ran up to the victim, stabbed him, and ran off, according to Police News Affairs.
Paramedics responded just before 7 p.m. at South Michigan Avenue and East Adams Street. They found an injured man, who they took to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in stable condition, said Fire Media Affairs spokesperson Meg Ahlheim.
Authorities are not sure if the stabbing was related to Lollapalooza, according to Police News Affairs.
Police could not immediately provide more information.
So a Sgt saves a PO's life with quick thinking & experience but doesn't deserve a merit Lt spot....WOW - we r doomed. Who else on that list can say they had the brains (and balls) to transport an injured cop (shot several times by a mutt) in order to save his life...NOT A ONE! I hope u merit guys take note that someone else deserved the spot you've gotten - so font fuck it up.

Unfortunately none of the troops will know who Fabian is because he has always had and inside job!
Amazing how people who slept under viaducts while they went to law school, then sent to the nice districts all pampered and is clueless of real police work or ever chased anything in his life actually is being promoted. Gotta love this department.
predict Dave Harris will be the 1st exempt made out of this class-what a class act.
Really? he's a nice guy but never passed a test. Double merit for what? even saying that he's a good copper, there are thousands who are; what's makes him so deserving? This department is a joke. I'll respect the rank but not the person...
Wow! congrads to Escamilla for his thirs merit promotion!! He has led a charmed life on this job; always had great spots, merit det, merit sgt in great unit spots, and now merit Lt. He's a pompass jag now, will be even worse as a Lt.
Mantos WAS not promoted to sgt with the class that was sworn on 1apr 2004. He was actually promoted to sgt in a subsequent class that was ineligible to take the Lt's test. He is military and was deployed in 2004. Why did the dept fudge his date of rank date? Nothing to see move along, move along.
Forgue? ARE YOU SERIOUS? This Department must be Kidding.
Is this the same stiff who worked in IAD, who they gave Sgt. too and IAD then had to investigate him for his personal misconduct as a supervisor. Now they make him a Lt. How long before he gets his next CR number for on and off duty crap.
For you poor boys and girls out there who end up having him as your Lt. WATCH OUT for this jackass!
Dave Harris??????? Are you kidding me? another double merit who thinks he's God's gift to police

no need to post twice back to back. I know your trying to seem like two people but your over use of question marks and back to back posts give it away. sigh....
Do not forget to come out and support Lt. David Harris this Sunday at Wrigley Field where he will be representing CPD v. CFD in the charity baseball game. These guys put on a great show for the family. After party at cubby bear.
I predict Dave Harris will be the 1st exempt made out of this class-what a class act.
I hope and pray for the future of our dept that you are joking. PLEASE tell me you are joking. If you really are brainwashed into believing he is a "great boss" then you truly havent worked for a great boss. If you are one of the hairgels on his team who oooos and ahhhhhs over his stories and think hes the greatest then youve never worked for a great sgt. To those out there who know what im talking about you have never worked for a man named.... Father Pat. No more to say. Ive worked for both Father Pat and Harris and I chuckled almost everyday listening to harris s*it. Thinks he is the real deal. Ive worked for sgts and Lts in my career who were the greatest supervisors ever and were real bosses. Harris is mediocre at best. Maybe a little less. Congrats to him if he got it by test score, but if merit pick is the case then its a wasted one. If he gets a gold star he will be even worse. Not tryin to knock the guy, but definitely will not be good if he is the first exempt... dont fall into dave's bullsh*t, he loves blowing his own horn.
Wtf u talking about i work in 022 and 109 western guy is right uselesssssss. They cant even fill the fuckn gas on days let alone do some police work. Fuck youuuuuuuuu
Congrats Rigoli good guy we had him as a Sgt on midnights in 012.... Always was a fair sergeant and ALWAYS did his job on the street and in the district...
K. Bigg had no intestinal fortitude and was truly one of the worst supervisor in Area South!!! He needs to get back to internal affairs. Merit Sgt but scored well enough to make Lt. God Bless those who will be under his direction!!!
Congrats to Fabian Saldana. Off the list. Top notch guy, solid, Marine. I believe he will be a leader to keep an eye on. No political clout, but if ANYONE in this Department has a brain, they'll back this man for future promotions!
Worked for AC when i was brand new po and he was a brand new sgt. He was a good peeps back then and it sounds like he still is. I think all most PO's are looking for now is someone who basically leaves you alone and doesn't look to jam you up over bullshit. AC is a normal down to earth guy that i truly think will make a good boss. Congrats.

Why all the congrats etc? Most won't bother to say hello to PO's any more. They are now special people, the chosen ones. The highest tested rank on the police department.
I see some new leadership is coming. Hopefully they get rid of some of the CRAP in 014. Starting with the Oak Leaf(alderman I'm sorry for the PR FEST ill kiss your ass) down to LT. sea hag. Never seen it so bad in 17years. Leadership in 014 is horrible. I doubt that "Friday night lights" would hold on to their oak leafs in the 003 District. You see, they just don't have time to worry about who's opening up fire hydrants in the 003 District.
Don Jerome? Hope he doesn't break his arm, and go IOD, patting himself on the back! Never met a more pompous individual on this job then him! Yes, I have worked with him! Lt. Harris, congratulations! A fair and humble man! You take the good, you take the bad!

Is this how you look at yourself in the mirror and justify being a worthless, ignorant, self-serving pussy?
Wow Sgt kapa didnt make the list? Well I guess there were more deserving merit picks...I guess saving a cops life isn't the kind of deed they are looking for in boss, but hey fuck a p.o over, treat them like shit and your gold around here huh? Maybe next time Sgt kapa
Fabian Saldana has done more good for so many coppers than any of you will ever know, and that any sergeant in patrol could ever try to. Unless you know what I'm talking about, you probably never will. With leadership so lacking on this job, don't assume that a good Lt. has had to slog through the trenches to do the job. Maybe he has, don't know or care. There's a whole lot more to it. I wish him congratulations and nothing but the best. He truly deserves it. Signed, A blue shirt who's been there
I hope you are kidding? She was a half-ass security guard at Roseland Hospital and scared of her own shadow. She is now one of our many triple-merit incompetents.
Congrats Lt. Harris! Don't listen to the shit talkers, they obviously don't know you. I worked for you and you were always good to people. Especially to the workers. I can say I never heard him sitting around telling "war stories". And the Derek Jeter comment, really?? I've heard other people jokingly say that because maybe they look slightly similar but he doesn't walk around calling himself that. Damn people write some stupid shit on here!

A lot of dave harris bashing, yes the double and triple merit people on this job are out of control. But I have worked with dave on many messed up ghetto parties, nasty crime scenes and a few police shootings. He always was good at the job. Yeah he's arrogant and his biggest fan but he can can back it up, and a lot of it is sarcastic. Where ever he ends up the troops will be surprised especially the workers, he will not put up with coppers dogging jobs which in essence screws other coppers.

Obviously you are one of those dogs that worked the 3rd watch in 019 that Sam asked (I'm sure in a polite and professional manner) to do SOMETHING like, "write a mover" or "don't stay down 2 hours on a simple theft report." I know you resent a sergeant asking you to do ANYTHING, so STFU and go back into your hole, you pussy.

MAYBE if he just shut his mouth instead of telling everyone from the 1st second it happened that he was a hero, that he deserved to be a LT. and it was in the bag. Maybe if he didn't put himself in for every award known to man, and was actually a decent Sgt. he would of had a chance.

Why bitch and moan that these people got promoted? Because you never did? Who gives a rats ass, collect your damn check 2x a month and shut up, you don't have to answer at stupid meetings at hq, you don't have to do anything! go to the damn coffee shop and your lil hole and hide.

Do you know what his job was? He had to deal with every psycho and emotional wreck on this Department. And guess what, there are A LOT of them. Perhaps even you have been to his office before. He saved a lot of careers and got people help they needed, but instead of looking at it from that perspective, the geniuses automatically say he worked inside and had a clout job. If you only know what a shit job he had.
Again, congrats Fabs, and heres hoping whoever takes over your duties helps as many officers as you have over the years.
To the haters who are questioning Manto's promotion, he was basically the brains behind the entire NATO plan, anyone who tells you different is lying. We succeeded because of training and a tight plan that Manto helped create, true leader there, hope he rises higher!
Ronnie Forgue was a great cop, and a good Sgt. too. He will make an awesome Lt.
an old partner from 004 tact
*** Forgue was and is a fuckin' IAD rat whose only out for himself. Took great pride in fucking over coppers and getting them suspended. He's a backstabbing jag only looking out for himself. Obviously, its worked out for him. In summary, this guy is a total and utter prick and can't be trusted. You're forewarned.
1st of all not all at 376 are stripped light duty or other. There are members assigned there. Dont always start your novels right away before you get all the frickn facts. I worked for Phil b4 and he was fair and all he wanted is for a copper to do their job, period. Congrats PHIL!
You obviously dont know Fabian ! Was my tact sgt for several years and a stand up mf! Knows how to handle the troops and is fair and a funny mf too! Congrats Fabian you are and always were a good boss!
Yeah why you jelly he's had 2nd watch weekends/holidays off for forever?!?! Or are you jelly that he gets CO pay half the year? Or is that you don't have any friends that you can work as an administrative sergeant for?
He's full duty and made it off the list fair and square He's a good guy and will the be the first one to have your back when you screw up.
Congrats to all the new lieutenants but DH? A double meritorious promotion who plays off his fathers rep. Couldn't lead a circus. However Mostek, Chung and Joyce are good guys and will make great Lts. Congrats again to the new Lts.
Congrats...A.E. from 011 You deserve it! When you were assigned to 002 you RESPECTED the working police then and NEVER could ANYONE say a bad word about you from our time working with you! Good Luck wherever you go !
Agreed. All three are top notch guys, and all three are 019 alum. Sgt. Manto, I'll follow you into combat any time. A true leader and genuine guy.
Honorable mention to Don J too. Nice guy and also was in 019 for a time.
By the way you forgot one other 019alumnus, Saldana, he was there for a short time. I worked with them all and I congratulate them all. I wish them good luck and I am sure they will all be successful. Remember, the haters will hate. I learned a long time ago that you just can't please everybody. All you can do, is your best and treat everybody fairly. If they learned anything from their tenure in 019, it is that the bosses that play favorites are the ones most despised.
" he was basically the brains behind the entire NATO plan, anyone who tells you different is lying. We succeeded..."
Putting a bunch of cops in riot gear against a bunch of suburbanite teenage pussies is an entire plan and a big success? The south or west sides on any given night is 100x more dangerous that those lillywhite cowards protesting at NATO. BFD.

Going off his dad's rep seriously now...his dad retired like 20 yrs. ago you don't ever hear him referring to his dad, dumb!

9:48: You know that's some BS. He got people out of way more trouble than you obviously know about. Aww..too bad someone else that worked for him wrote something nice. Working for him was always a pleasure and he definitely took care of his people, nothing to do with baseball tickets.
Congrats to Dave Wu. He's a good guy, unlike a lot of psycho and goofball Sgts who have been put in 018. To the haters, he got promoted by score, not merit.
Congrats to Fabian Saldana. Off the list. Top notch guy, solid, Marine. I believe he will be a leader to keep an eye on. No political clout, but if ANYONE in this Department has a brain, they'll back this man for future promotions!

Do you know what his job was? He had to deal with every psycho and emotional wreck on this Department. And guess what, there are A LOT of them. Perhaps even you have been to his office before. He saved a lot of careers and got people help they needed, but instead of looking at it from that perspective, the geniuses automatically say he worked inside and had a clout job. If you only know what a shit job he had.
Again, congrats Fabs, and heres hoping whoever takes over your duties helps as many officers as you have over the years.

Oh my God, are you slepping with him??? Yes he had to work with guys that got jammed up for one reason or another. Not just crazy cops!!! but, cops that had been put in the PC program by people like you "TF", aka unit 121!! Yes he is a good guy. Now, be a man. Well at least try and get off his ball sack.

Hopeless Cemetery and 3 CC Sheriff's cars and 4 to 5 022 District cars have to escort the fruenal procession into the cemetery. Every fuckin day. Know mopes from 022 on days love detail. Stay down for 2 hrs and dont do shit anyways. Fuck this. Live at 109 around Western and no police around. My garage was burglarized 2 days ago while this daily thing was happenning but mopes in 022 wouldnt have done anything anyways. Take a report? Fuck the report. USELESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moprah never gave a shit about Mary Lou Retton nor gymnastics now all of sudden she know everthing bout Olympics. Hey Moprah takes years of training to get these kids to Olympics.

Bill Daley knew about Solyndra?
Big congrats to Rich McFarland. I didn't work for him directly but was on another team when he was a sgt in 211. Congrats Rich... You deserve it. Its been long overdue.
15 of 26 are in units. But thats also including the D unit.. so I guess those three dont count. That makes 12 from Units, 11 from patrol, and 3 from the D unit. Congrats to those that made it from the test. Congrats to the merit picks who have worked hard in there career and deserve it. To the others who were merit and have never done a damn thing, good luck... youll need it. Its hard to win over P.Os when they know your a hack and have done nothing. But I know at lease one guys on that list who got it by merit and DESERVES to be picked as a merit boss. We could all be so lucky if he could be getting a gold star one day. congrats boss you deserve it. I wont embarrass him by saying his name though. He knows who he is.
R.F. from 005??? Really??
Wasn't Dwayne Betts with the Allman Brothers?
If this list is actually true a huge congratulations to M.R. I guess you've got a few more to go than the 280something you planned on.
Costello is a good dude. He will make an great lieutenant. Stand up boss. Congrats Andy
Former 253
Let's see now..... Sgts, check! Lts., check!
Dets........ Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
:::::::::::::::::::::: Crickets :::::::::::::::::::::!!
(5) years.... Five flipping years!! Since the last class
of Dicks... I guess none are retiring, or there is
no crime to solve. Thanks Rahm. You puke!
I'd blame Mcvommit, but he's a puppet of Rahm's
so what's the point?
Congrats and good luck to all!
Congratulations to them all!!!
Wow.
I hope the next sgt test is like this Lt test. Give everyone the answers and let the chips fall
Any guesses on the merit picks? I see 2 right off the bat.
Congrats Haynes, Manto, Wu!
YEAH!!! More over promoted clout hacks with political connections that aren't qualified to supervise my shoe closet.
Congrats, Lt. Manto. Please assure D.Vale & old man Rodgers that by remaining obsequious to X/O Ryan they too will see a promotion. D.V. & old man Rodgers R the real deal. D.V. Remember U'r ring tone...."Look at this photograph. Everytime I do it makes me laugh." u'll do well at The Chicago Marathon" this year. 019 has had a great weekend so far. We're having a biggest loser contest in 019 & D.V. is gonna win it. Great job & U look great no matter who the actual 1st place is. Something like 70 lbs weight loss. Outstanding!
No Spellman on it. Bogus.
Wow...if DH made it, I guess any hair gel with no experience can. What a tool
Forgue should not end up on this list. I hope he was not a merit pick, because that would be a horrible merit pick. Hopefully he doesn't end up running your watch.
Harris? Really??? This dept is doomed....
Dave Harris??????? Are you kidding me?
another double merit who thinks he's God's gift to police
Congrats, Sgt. O'Shea, oops, Lt. O'Shea
Ask Rigoli if he will either buy new shirts or at least bleach the grey ones he has now!! Lol. Congrats Mike
Now that I am retired watching what is going on in the department and seeing some of the the clout sucking worthless slugs being promoted reminds me of the movie "Airplane". Now that my life won't be in danger working with some of these idiots I can sit back and LAUGH at the comedy show that this city is providing. The department is eating itself from the inside out. Hopefully I will be in a different state before it dies. Good luck guys . You are going to need it!
Congratulations WR You Will Make a Great Lt.
the only thing on the square is wrestling and the cpd.
Congratulations to Danny O'Shea. I can't think of any Sergeant more deserving.
Finally Eddie Johnson can get at little rest now than Dwayne is off his coat tails for as long as the training is. I can't imagine a more qualified Sgt to be a Merit Lt. than Betts. After all the valuable field experience he has gained as a school sgt. CAPS sgt. and administrative sgt. will serve the patrol division well for the two periods he's is in a district until they make up an administrative Lt. position in the Central Area office.
Forgue? Really? LOL
Costello, Congrats again! You were great to work for. Hope you land where you want to. -424

Okay, brave man! Next time, we will send the funeral down your block so you and the neighbors can enjoy the gang bangers ravaging the street. Typical a*&hole from another district who tried bidding in and didn't make it.
Your garage got burglarized when you were jagging youirself off in mama's basement.
If you are the police, which I question, you sure are not much of a trained observer, making a lot of assumptions without facts. Try being nice to people, a little bit of honey is better than a mouthful of vinegar.
Congrats to Don! Great cop. Great sgt. Always in the thick of things while others hide.
Congrats to Val Roytman.
Finally, a real leader gets promoted.
You proved your leadership skills time after tme.
Everybody Wang CHUNG tonite!!
Congrats Steve!!
You da man!

5pm>some of these guys deserve this promotion not all are cloated, stop crying!
Congratulation to Sam Manto. A real gentleman and terrific sergeant. Just remember all those talks we used to have outside the (old) 019. Always take care of the troops and you'll be fine.
Congrats Sean Joyce, off the list and well deserved!!
Who gives a fuck? Pushing a beat car today, tomorrow, and until I retire. (fart noise)

*** Maybe you could post the above in a different topic? This is to congratulate our newly promoted!
Harris is a joke and another poor boss made here in CPD land. God help.
Congrats to Dave Wu work with you at 018 wish you the best.HJ
Congrats! Dave Wu
News Flash: The Sup had no authority in the merit selection, NONE, it came straight from city hall. The Sup interviewed prospective candidates only to portray he had influence to the sworn in the process when it was only smoke and mirrors. He had no say nor did he care who was promoted, he traded the merit picks for public support from city hall because the city is falling apart, crime is out of control and manpower issues. He'll be here for 3/4 years, why should he care? How in the world is the media taking a backseat to the increase in crime, because city hall controls the media.
Dave Harris is a joke to the job (double merit) and an absolute embarrassment to the promotion. R.F. is a joke as well, but he made it off the list.
Congratulations Lt. Don Jerome. Well deserved and well earned.

Isn't Betts too short to be a Lt.?
Congrats to Mostek...great guy! Class act, who will make a great Lt.
Wow...Harris? I guess they promoted based on ego alone.
Couldn't be as disgraceful as the Sergeant Merit selections. A cop killer's son gets a merit promotion. Only in Chicago. Thanks Eddie Welch.
Wow...so a kid who's had nothing to do with the crime stated here that his father committed shouldn't have a chance to be promoted? Talk about fairness...
Ronnie Forgue was a great cop, and a good Sgt. too.
He will make an awesome Lt.
an old partner from 004 tact
Congrats to Harris! Has been a great supervisor in 015
Congrats to Crystal King-Smith! Long overdue!
First time I have written on this blog, between the recent Sgt's list and this Lt's list, he is the only working copper who deserves this!
Sam Manto? You have got to be fucking kidding me! One of Chester Hornowskis old stooges who applied for Superintendent as a P.O. against Phil Cline. What a retard!
ONCE AGAIN, there is a name missing from that list. A play nephew to an Alderman, a baby sitter for said Alderman, a bootlick to two Commanders, a back stabber to fellow Sgts. a whiner to many a Watch Commander. A man who is born to be an Exempt. Sorry dude.
Dave Harris was a great Sgt in TRU. Always had your back and as long as you worked never failed to take care of his guys.
Kenny Bigg is a GREAT guy. Yes, before anyone starts, he's totally Liberal, but he's always fair and has been a great supervisor. Any District that gets him will be very happy. Knowledgeable, classy and not a Merit pick. Good Luck Ken!
Congratulations Steve Chung and Fabian Saldana. Sean, you werent in SWAt very long, congratulations to you as well. All good guys!
And another bite for King-Smith...is she now a triple or a double merit? Following the trails blazed by great CPD leaders like B. West of 015 and M. Pena of 010.
She'll be a Commander before the end of the year. Disgusting.
Haters gonna hate! With the lack of promotions going on these days, whoever claims they would turn anything down is a damn liar. Congrats to all!! These guys took this damn test 5 years ago. Ridiculous...So when are they promoting detectives?? crickets..crickets..
I predict Dave Harris will be the 1st exempt made out of this class-what a class act.

A man in his forties was stabbed outside the Lollapalooza music festival at Grant Park Friday night.
The attacker ran up to the victim, stabbed him, and ran off, according to Police News Affairs.
Paramedics responded just before 7 p.m. at South Michigan Avenue and East Adams Street. They found an injured man, who they took to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in stable condition, said Fire Media Affairs spokesperson Meg Ahlheim.
Authorities are not sure if the stabbing was related to Lollapalooza, according to Police News Affairs.
Police could not immediately provide more information.
So a Sgt saves a PO's life with quick thinking & experience but doesn't deserve a merit Lt spot....WOW - we r doomed. Who else on that list can say they had the brains (and balls) to transport an injured cop (shot several times by a mutt) in order to save his life...NOT A ONE! I hope u merit guys take note that someone else deserved the spot you've gotten - so font fuck it up.
DH from 015? Another merit stroke. Merit Sgt also. What a joke! This guy goes around calling himself Derek Jeter! Lol
Congrats to Costello - good boss, nice guy & all around humble & knowledgable...hope we get u back in 004 to replace DB Lt M.R. - 406/465 teams.

Unfortunately none of the troops will know who Fabian is because he has always had and inside job!
Amazing how people who slept under viaducts while they went to law school, then sent to the nice districts all pampered and is clueless of real police work or ever chased anything in his life actually is being promoted. Gotta love this department.
predict Dave Harris will be the 1st exempt made out of this class-what a class act.
Really? he's a nice guy but never passed a test. Double merit for what? even saying that he's a good copper, there are thousands who are; what's makes him so deserving?
This department is a joke. I'll respect the rank but not the person...
Wow! congrads to Escamilla for his thirs merit promotion!! He has led a charmed life on this job; always had great spots, merit det, merit sgt in great unit spots, and now merit Lt. He's a pompass jag now, will be even worse as a Lt.
From 011 and glad he's gone..
Crystal King-Pearson-Smith is a new Lieutenant? Really? What a fucking joke!
Mantos WAS not promoted to sgt with the class that was sworn on 1apr 2004. He was actually promoted to sgt in a subsequent class that was ineligible to take the Lt's test. He is military and was deployed in 2004. Why did the dept fudge his date of rank date? Nothing to see move along, move along.
Now you all need to show Rahm that you have Chicago values. Grab your partner and start making out.
Forgue? ARE YOU SERIOUS? This Department must be Kidding.
Is this the same stiff who worked in IAD, who they gave Sgt. too and IAD then had to investigate him for his personal misconduct as a supervisor. Now they make him a Lt. How long before he gets his next CR number for on and off duty crap.
For you poor boys and girls out there who end up having him as your Lt. WATCH OUT for this jackass!
Harris? Really??? This dept is doomed....

no need to post twice back to back. I know your trying to seem like two people but your over use of question marks and back to back posts give it away. sigh....
Congrats LT Rigoli. Your shirts are definitely a light charcoal color, lol. You were a great Sgt that I'm sure will be a great Lieutenant.
Do not forget to come out and support Lt. David Harris this Sunday at Wrigley Field where he will be representing CPD v. CFD in the charity baseball game. These guys put on a great show for the family. After party at cubby bear.
I predict Dave Harris will be the 1st exempt made out of this class-what a class act.
I hope and pray for the future of our dept that you are joking. PLEASE tell me you are joking. If you really are brainwashed into believing he is a "great boss" then you truly havent worked for a great boss. If you are one of the hairgels on his team who oooos and ahhhhhs over his stories and think hes the greatest then youve never worked for a great sgt. To those out there who know what im talking about you have never worked for a man named.... Father Pat. No more to say. Ive worked for both Father Pat and Harris and I chuckled almost everyday listening to harris s*it. Thinks he is the real deal. Ive worked for sgts and Lts in my career who were the greatest supervisors ever and were real bosses. Harris is mediocre at best. Maybe a little less. Congrats to him if he got it by test score, but if merit pick is the case then its a wasted one. If he gets a gold star he will be even worse. Not tryin to knock the guy, but definitely will not be good if he is the first exempt... dont fall into dave's bullsh*t, he loves blowing his own horn.
Congrats to Sean Joyce... What a gentlemen, good boss and just plain good guy! Wishing you the best and anybody working for you is a lucky copper!

Honorable mention to Don J too. Nice guy and also was in 019 for a time.

Congrats Rigoli good guy we had him as a Sgt on midnights in 012.... Always was a fair sergeant and ALWAYS did his job on the street and in the district...
Don Jerome is a class act and I wish him all the best!
K. Bigg had no intestinal fortitude and was truly one of the worst supervisor in Area South!!! He needs to get back to internal affairs. Merit Sgt but scored well enough to make Lt. God Bless those who will be under his direction!!!
Good luck don, well deserve
Kenny Biggs is probally the only one that actually earned it. Congrats "Greg Brady" (class joke 97-4C)
Congrats to richie mac, a prince of a sgt. Should make a great lt.

Worked for AC when i was brand new po and he was a brand new sgt. He was a good peeps back then and it sounds like he still is. I think all most PO's are looking for now is someone who basically leaves you alone and doesn't look to jam you up over bullshit. AC is a normal down to earth guy that i truly think will make a good boss. Congrats.
"Want to ask why on Mon-Fri a fuckin helicopter has to fly overhead at Mt. Hopeless Cemetery and 3 CC Sheriff's cars..."
Because the County has part ownership in the helicopter and complete ownership of the Sheriff's cars. Dumbass.

I see some new leadership is coming. Hopefully they get rid of some of the CRAP in 014. Starting with the Oak Leaf(alderman I'm sorry for the PR FEST ill kiss your ass) down to LT. sea hag. Never seen it so bad in 17years. Leadership in 014 is horrible. I doubt that "Friday night lights" would hold on to their oak leafs in the 003 District. You see, they just don't have time to worry about who's opening up fire hydrants in the 003 District.
YEAH!!! More over promoted clout hacks with political connections that aren't qualified to supervise my shoe closet.

You have a shoe closet?
Congratulations to Lt. Danny O'Shea. What a stand up guy He'll make a great boss.
I have to say not a bad list.
Don Jerome? Hope he doesn't break his arm, and go IOD, patting himself on the back! Never met a more pompous individual on this job then him! Yes, I have worked with him! Lt. Harris, congratulations! A fair and humble man! You take the good, you take the bad!

Fabian Saldana has done more good for so many coppers than any of you will ever know, and that any sergeant in patrol could ever try to. Unless you know what I'm talking about, you probably never will. With leadership so lacking on this job, don't assume that a good Lt. has had to slog through the trenches to do the job. Maybe he has, don't know or care. There's a whole lot more to it. I wish him congratulations and nothing but the best. He truly deserves it. Signed, A blue shirt who's been there

Congrats to Crystal King-Smith! Long overdue!

I hope you are kidding? She was a half-ass security guard at Roseland Hospital and scared of her own shadow. She is now one of our many triple-merit incompetents.
To the few who deserve it Congrats.
To the rest and this disgusting love fest, I'm done.
This job is nothing more that one big ass kiss!
I know some on this list, worked with them and many many comments are bullshit and far from true. Dave(s), Sam
Congrats Lt. Harris! Don't listen to the shit talkers, they obviously don't know you. I worked for you and you were always good to people. Especially to the workers. I can say I never heard him sitting around telling "war stories". And the Derek Jeter comment, really?? I've heard other people jokingly say that because maybe they look slightly similar but he doesn't walk around calling himself that. Damn people write some stupid shit on here!

A lot of dave harris bashing, yes the double and triple merit people on this job are out of control.
But I have worked with dave on many messed up ghetto parties, nasty crime scenes and a few police shootings. He always was good at the job.
Yeah he's arrogant and his biggest fan but he can can back it up, and a lot of it is sarcastic.
Where ever he ends up the troops will be surprised especially the workers, he will not put up with coppers dogging jobs which in essence screws other coppers.
This test has been around so long I lost track of how many they made. What number are they up to.

Haters gonna hate! With the lack of promotions going on these days, whoever claims they would turn anything down is a damn liar. Congrats to all!! These guys took this damn test 5 years ago. Ridiculous...So when are they promoting detectives?? crickets..crickets..

I never put in for meritorious ... therefore I will never turn it down either. No lie.

Sam Manto? You have got to be fucking kidding me! One of Chester Hornowskis old stooges who applied for Superintendent as a P.O. against Phil Cline. What a retard!
8/03/2012 09:25:00 PM
Obviously you are one of those dogs that worked the 3rd watch in 019 that Sam asked (I'm sure in a polite and professional manner) to do SOMETHING like, "write a mover" or "don't stay down 2 hours on a simple theft report." I know you resent a sergeant asking you to do ANYTHING, so STFU and go back into your hole, you pussy.

Amazing how people who slept under viaducts while they went to law school, then sent to the nice districts all pampered and is clueless of real police work or ever chased anything in his life actually is being promoted. Gotta love this department.
8/03/2012 10:37:00 PM
Who are you talking about?
Some people are just plain stupid if they believe Dave Harris deserved two merit promotions based on what he has done - 023, 021, 011 (short time), TRU, 015 (short time), please stop being stupid. Call merit what it is, BULLSHIT.

Forgue? ARE YOU SERIOUS? This Department must be Kidding.
Is this the same stiff who worked in IAD, who they gave Sgt. too and IAD then had to investigate him for his personal misconduct as a supervisor. Now they make him a Lt. How long before he gets his next CR number for on and off duty crap.
For you poor boys and girls out there who end up having him as your Lt. WATCH OUT for this jackass!
8/03/2012 11:09:00 PM
Loves to get CR's on PO's for insubordination. I guess he can't get any respect. I wonder why??? Be careful what you say to him..
So a Sgt saves a PO's life with quick thinking & experience but doesn't deserve a merit Lt spot....WOW - we r doomed. Who else on that list can say they had the brains (and balls) to transport an injured cop (shot several times by a mutt) in order to save his life...NOT A ONE! I hope u merit guys take note that someone else deserved the spot you've gotten - so font fuck it up.
MAYBE if he just shut his mouth instead of telling everyone from the 1st second it happened that he was a hero, that he deserved to be a LT. and it was in the bag. Maybe if he didn't put himself in for every award known to man, and was actually a decent Sgt. he would of had a chance.

Dave Harris was a great Sgt in TRU. Always had your back and as long as you worked never failed to take care of his guys.
8/03/2012 09:39:00 PM
That's the funniest shit I've heard. I almost died laughing. This stroke is the only supervisor that ever smiled and was happy giving someone a SPAR. He only took care of you if you bought baseball tickets.
Why bitch and moan that these people got promoted? Because you never did? Who gives a rats ass, collect your damn check 2x a month and shut up, you don't have to answer at stupid meetings at hq, you don't have to do anything! go to the damn coffee shop and your lil hole and hide. Then when you wake from your lil nap, fire up your laptop and cry on SCC>

Congrats to Harris! Has been a great supervisor in 015

will someone please tell the commander of 015, its ok to just say " Hi I'm Barb, I'm short and have zero street experience and I also have a huge EGO, but I can call BIG AL ( Was a real boss at one time ) and get another do nothing, clout hack promoted " !
and a big shout out to the school patrol GFYs !!!!!!
Congrats Brian McD. Great guy, now get your golf game back on track!

Yeah. I'd tell them no. Just like I wouldn't steal dope money even if everyone else does. I've never taken something that belonged to someone else-never took something that someone else worked hard to obtain.
Affirmative action is alive and well on this job and the bargaining units are too cowardly to fight for its removal from the contracts.
How many merit promotions for WU?
Joyce??
As in the former Fire Comm???

Congrats to Crystal King-Smith! Long overdue!
Overdue! You have guys that have been working the streets for the last ten years protecting people out here that earned it. She get another bite of the merit apple for being hidden inside forever. Wow are you drinking the Kool Aid or what....
Jerome from 025---double merit. First Sgt. Now LT
And by the way 022 District cemetary watcher I work in a hellhole Sport and do more fuckin POLICE WORK before I get a cuppajo than you have done in past 10 yrs. if u even have that much time on job. Brave? Surprised you could even spell it. Whatever BAMBI. Don't let the boogeyman scare you.
Congratulations to all the former 011th District midnight rangers.... Kenny Bigg, Danny O'shea, Tony Escamilla, and Mike Rigoli. All good guys in my book.
What happened ??? A.Z. from 011 not promoted to Lieut. !!!!

Pedal that BS Somewhere else,and wipe the goo of your chin while you're @ it.

Do you know what his job was? He had to deal with every psycho and emotional wreck on this Department. And guess what, there are A LOT of them. Perhaps even you have been to his office before. He saved a lot of careers and got people help they needed, but instead of looking at it from that perspective, the geniuses automatically say he worked inside and had a clout job. If you only know what a shit job he had.
Again, congrats Fabs, and heres hoping whoever takes over your duties helps as many officers as you have over the years.
TF
To the haters who are questioning Manto's promotion, he was basically the brains behind the entire NATO plan, anyone who tells you different is lying. We succeeded because of training and a tight plan that Manto helped create, true leader there, hope he rises higher!
Ronnie Forgue was a great cop, and a good Sgt. too.
He will make an awesome Lt.
an old partner from 004 tact
***
Forgue was and is a fuckin' IAD rat whose only out for himself. Took great pride in fucking over coppers and getting them suspended. He's a backstabbing jag only looking out for himself. Obviously, its worked out for him. In summary, this guy is a total and utter prick and can't be trusted. You're forewarned.
Congrats to DO, one of the best and hard working sgts I know... Right up there with MS and CI from 011.
Congrats to Stephen Chung! A very deserving man.
1st of all not all at 376 are stripped light duty or other. There are members assigned there.
Dont always start your novels right away before you get all the frickn facts.
I worked for Phil b4 and he was fair and all he wanted is for a copper to do their job, period.
Congrats PHIL!
You obviously dont know Fabian ! Was my tact sgt for several years and a stand up mf! Knows how to handle the troops and is fair and a funny mf too!
Congrats Fabian you are and always were a good boss!

a Sgt from 376!?!?!?! WTF?
8/04/2012 12:28:00 AM
Yeah why you jelly he's had 2nd watch weekends/holidays off for forever?!?! Or are you jelly that he gets CO pay half the year? Or is that you don't have any friends that you can work as an administrative sergeant for?
He's full duty and made it off the list fair and square He's a good guy and will the be the first one to have your back when you screw up.
376 is off the list stop bitching. Not all there because their stripped. Someone has to watch over the house of misfits

There is a huge story behind this one too.
8/04/2012 04:31:00 AM
No Story here. Full duty at 376 took the test and made it off the list not by merit. He did a good job at 376. Not the gossip you wanted.
Congrats to all the new lieutenants but DH? A double meritorious promotion who plays off his fathers rep. Couldn't lead a circus. However Mostek, Chung and Joyce are good guys and will make great Lts. Congrats again to the new Lts.
Wu will fit right in as an XO.
He never leaves the station.

Congrats...A.E. from 011 You deserve it! When you were assigned to 002 you RESPECTED the working police then and NEVER could ANYONE say a bad word about you from our time working with you! Good Luck wherever you go !
I'm betting some of the Harris bashing is from AZ in 011 cuz he's jealous a former co-worker got promoted and he didn't. Adam stay off this site
Anonymous said...
Congrats Haynes, Manto, Wu!
8/03/2012 06:54:00 PM
Agreed. All three are top notch guys, and all three are 019 alum. Sgt. Manto, I'll follow you into combat any time. A true leader and genuine guy.
Honorable mention to Don J too. Nice guy and also was in 019 for a time.
By the way you forgot one other 019alumnus, Saldana, he was there for a short time. I worked with them all and I congratulate them all. I wish them good luck and I am sure they will all be successful. Remember, the haters will hate. I learned a long time ago that you just can't please everybody. All you can do, is your best and treat everybody fairly. If they learned anything from their tenure in 019, it is that the bosses that play favorites are the ones most despised.
" he was basically the brains behind the entire NATO plan, anyone who tells you different is lying. We succeeded..."
Putting a bunch of cops in riot gear against a bunch of suburbanite teenage pussies is an entire plan and a big success? The south or west sides on any given night is 100x more dangerous that those lillywhite cowards protesting at NATO. BFD.
SCC, put up a chart showing the names and a tally of how many people seem to sincerely congratulate someone on the list or how many say it's BS.

Biggest P.O.S. I have ever known in my time on this job, and the fact that he was IAD is secondary. The watch that lands him will be in turmoil in no time....
Graduated with Chung, worked with Chung and worked for Chung.. I always said you'd be a great boss and that someday you'd be a bigger boss. well my friend, you're one step closer . CONGRATULATIONS Lt Chung!!!! Well deserved and you made it off the list. You're going to be an even greater Lt.!!!
proud of you man !!!!
Congratulations to all of you new lieutenants. Lunch is on me. At the Chick-Fil-A. Don't worry. We won't be having a Kiss In.
Can anyone explain why the dept just promoted 31 people to sgt then 26 to lieut. That a net gain of 5 sgts What is the point of all this? Anyone have an answer?
So a Sgt saves a PO's life with quick thinking & experience but doesn't deserve a merit Lt spot....WOW - we r doomed.

8/04/2012 09:43:00 AM
maybe, someone could wake him up, so he could be awake long enough, so that someone else could tell him that he did a good job, whenever he was awake......lt material ?
Congrats DH from 015! Seems to me that one or two people on here have some personal issues with him, don't like him as a person, or whatever, and keep bombarding this site with their b.s. Going off his dad's rep seriously now...his dad retired like 20 yrs. ago you don't ever hear him referring to his dad, dumb! If you have such negativity towards him go say it to him instead of repeating putting dumb comments on this page anonymously like cowards.
Brian McD!!!!! fuck yeah!!!! NEVER forgot where he came from!!!!

9:48: You know that's some BS. He got people out of way more trouble than you obviously know about. Aww..too bad someone else that worked for him wrote something nice. Working for him was always a pleasure and he definitely took care of his people, nothing to do with baseball tickets.
Harris- Joke and certainly nothing special..
Congrats to Dave Wu. He's a good guy, unlike a lot of psycho and goofball Sgts who have been put in 018. To the haters, he got promoted by score, not merit.

Oh my God, are you slepping with him??? Yes he had to work with guys that got jammed up for one reason or another. Not just crazy cops!!! but, cops that had been put in the PC program by people like you "TF", aka unit 121!! Yes he is a good guy. Now, be a man. Well at least try and get off his ball sack.
Sean Joyce is truly a mensch.
