Im deployed where do I go to sign up??? Semper Fi
Oooh Boy! They're giving a sergeant's test!
Better get out your books!
Your General Orders book.
Your prayer book
and your checkbook!
How much do you have to pay the aldercreature to assure promotion to sergeant?
Can it be any aldercreature, regardless of ward?
I already know that the "campaign donation" has to be in worn non-sequential large bills.
The list is always fudged no reason to test.
I am on furlough, can I sign up on the Internet or only through the department computers?
You don't really think they're promoting any time soon, do you?
Should I pay off my Alderman or my Reverend? Which is a cheaper choice?
Or should I hedge my bets and pay off both?
Please advise.
Can I get in a Secret Study Group?
I am on furlough, can I sign up on the Internet or only through the department computers?

Where the hell have you been the last few months? I suppose you also expect someone to provide you with the answers to the exam so you can pass. Bone head--

Yes you can do it from home. 1. Access your department email. Just google Chicago Police Department webmail or such and you'll get the link. Create a generic resume since they want you to submit a supporting document. Save that resume on your computer. 2. Sign in to it the same way you sign in to your computer. 3. Look for the email for the sergeant's test. In that email is a link to sign up for the sergeant's test. 4. Signing up for the sergeant's test is pretty basic. You'll need to submit your resume. There is a section for it and they say if you don't submit anything then your application won't be considered. So do that. When you are done, you'll see a page stating that your application was successfully submitted. Save that page or print it out. 5. In your email that you recorded in your application check for the payment link. You have to pay $25. Pay the $25 and make sure you either print out or save the confirmation page.
That's it and study for the sergeant's test so you can wear that white shirt!
I always look good in white. I am taking the test.
They could make the chevrons a little fancier, though.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!

CPDTestPrep
If you work for a BOSS then you already have the answers to the test.
Just take a look at who was number one and number two on the Lt.s test a few years back.
I'm just saying it's all leget!
You don't have to submit any supporting documents. I already called City Hall Human Resources and they said for the Sgt exam no supporting documents are needed.
Just smiling at all the ignorant comments here. There are ALWAYS unclouted people who fall through the cracks and get promoted in spite of what everyone might think. I am living proof.
I had no phone call or chinaman and wouldn't have used one anyway because I'm one of those people who wouldn't want to spend my career owing somebody. I should have made Lt, too, but I spent my 17 yrs as a Sgt. pissing everybody off that was above me.
Anyway, it's total bullshit that you can't get promoted honestly. Not EVERYONE will, but SOME certainly will. That is the target the legit people should shoot for. That's sad, I know, but if you've got no choice then at least try.

Duh, hard to do when you're in San Diego. Some of us actually leave Chicago when we go on furlough.
I am laughing my ass off seeing all of these people signed up for the Bernstein or Brand Woods study groups. Those two are making out like bandits.
You would be better off spending your time on building a viable side business than studying obscure general orders. If you can't make it on our salary (I and others can) then you need to look at your expenses.

There are many families that have mentally challenged members. Many in the police family. Your thoughtless use of the slang 'tards' speaks volumes about your character. I am glad you are not taking the promotional test. You would be a poor, pathetic bastard to work for.
I know YOU would never have a chance at promotion, so I offer this to the rest of you: Most promotions are done legitimately. There are even Merit guys that deserved it. I have worked for a few.
Sure there are a percentage, maybe even a big percentage that have the in, or didn't deserve the merit bump. That still leaves a lot of promotions for guys that work for it.
Take it seriously and work your ass off for one of THOSE spots. Tell the bitter guys that give up to grow up.
Retired a while that had some Rank(All Test Scores,NO MERIT) Said:
I'll save you a few bucks.This is free:
Pick a time and place to study everyday and do it there & then-- ALWAYS.
0900-Library,1800-BSMT, 0200-Garage... where ever........
Condition Yourself to this,It works.
No studying in the squad or in the station.Distractions(other Coppers,walk ins, radio, man w/a gun) will screw you up.Don't Do It!
Print, or whatever you do now a days with the orders, and HIGHLIGHT anything that says "The Sgt must,the Sgt is responsible for, the Sgt will ensure that..."(You get the clue)
Keep those HIGHLIGHTED Orders, and in addition, write out all of your HIGHLIGHTED items on a legal pad under various headings.
Study from both.
Never took a Bernstien,but a Ret. Dick had a class back in the days(90's) at a suburban college that went for about a hundo.Have no idea if he is still in the game. Wasn't great,wasn't too bad either.Pretty much DNA as far as the test I took, but practice none the less.
Good Luck to those who DESERVE it.
Be Safe Boys & Girls.
Retired Guy who still cares about YOU.Not the city or asshole bosses.
ha ha take the exam im in 016 n a worker who did the ghetto for years you can have it at least in 016 we get real victims and i am able my fellow officers and firemen out all you hair gel super cops remember the ghetto will turn on you in a heart beat at least in 016 i get a thankyou for police service .
Ah! Senility has set in.1 more test
hint.
If you are in the station on anything.....arrest,tow,Inventory,TVB,Vehicle Damage,CR, whatever..pullup the order on what you are there on, and see what the Sgt's responsibility is.Keep that hard copy in your study folder.
MCC codes are tough too.They always had how high the fence had to be around a quarry.The only quarry I knew in the city was on Halsted around 32nd?? in Bridgeport,
11th Ward..imagine that!
1626Hrs on Hump Day...Rob Roy time!
Good Luck
The following, highlighted in yellow, was included in the instructions on my application:
NOTE: NO DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ATTACHED TO YOUR ONLINE APPLICATION.
So why are people saying a resume must be attached?

The above officer is incorrect and will most likely fail the Sergeants Exam. You DO NOT create a resume! If you READ THE DIRECTIONS prior to starting the application they read as follows:
"NOTE: NO DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ATTACHED TO YOUR ONLINE APPLICATION."
The link to the application was never emailed to me in my Department email. This is the link for the application:
www.cityofchicago.org/policepromotions
You can leave the attachments section alone and go on to the next section. My application was submitted with no problems.
At one time in the not too distant past it was five grand to the alderman to make sergeant. I heard it was 25 grand for captain. There is a retired district commander whose name ended up on the city hall political list to make captain. The list surfaced during a federal trial.
Get your white shirt at the monopoly uniform store.
U mean I have to pay the city $25 to #@$% me.....

It is very simple, really. All you have to do is out score the other people. So, approach the test with a positive attitude and get a higher score than the rest. Is the glass half full or half empty? I already bought my white shirts, white vest cover, and crown cap.

Who the fuck asked you??? Guess what Limp Dick?
Nobody gives a fuck about your car, wife, degree, business, or your fucking house in Costa Rica.
Why don't you post some other shit that nobody gives a fuck about like lateral transfers or the black uniforms that you think we need to wear.
Buy a blue pill and build up your self esteem little man. The rest of the planet and your wife will thank you.
to the 03:40 post
yeah moms basement again at 40 plus years of age. Just because you have given up keep your negative shit to yourself and by the way one of the groups you mentioned is full of honorable coppers. Some not taking a salary so ill assume you just did not know what you were commenting on. And leave it at that...

"The Keesing Sergeant"?
I dunno if that sounds right.

You don't need to include a resume. The site is a generic city employment site. They just included promotional tests into it.
Years ago we were subjected to "affirmative action" and many, many promotions were stolen from those who scored well on the exams and given to others who had lower scores. That happened to me on one detective and two sgt. exams over a period of more than ten years and I was very bitter.
Another sgt. exam was announced and many people criticized me for subjecting myself once again to what they saw as a waste of time and effort in studying for the exam. They were also bitter about the previous exams and had given up on advancing their careers within the CPD. I thought if I give it my best shot and don't make it at least I can still bitch about how screwed up the promotion process is.
I had no clout, seventeen years on the job, was an FTO on the first watch. When I had no recruit I was usually on the wagon. Got the test results, good score. People congratulated me on a good score. However I had been down that road before.
It wasn't until I saw my name on the order to report to the academy for sgt. school that I believed it was possible for someone without clout to be promoted.
Non-clouted do get promoted. Study. Study. Study. Then study some more. Stop watching TV, especially sports. No radio. No social life. No nothing until the test is over. That is the recipe for success, of course , without guarantee. Care more about how whatever team is doing? Save yourself $25. and don't take the test.
I luv all the tards paying for books and study groups($1k) thinking they actually have a legit chance of making rank.

It is not very simple. You are naive if you think that. Maybe on the first part of the test all you have to do is outscore the rest, but after that things change. More po's have been brought down by the oral exams that are very subjective and bias can be brought in. Ive seen idiots do well on the oral and good smart coppers get destroyed. Anyone who thinks the test is legit is a fool
take the test i give a sh-t iam worker who invested in apartment buildings defer comp and silver after it is all said and done we will see who is happier.
Does anybody have the link for the payment?.....mine doesn't seem to be coming to my email address.
