Oh Captain, My Captain

Word from a pretty reliable source that a Captains List is done and due to be announced at any minute. Or maybe it's an XO list? We aren't sure what they're calling it, but it's coming, maybe by Friday, and we don't mean "BIG CHANGES!" Friday either. This is a minor event at best.

The anticipation of new local leadership, and a new broom sweeps clean. What is not to like about the thought.

Seriously, who even deserves a promotion from among any of the ranks wearing white shirts these days?
They play a combination of charades and hide and seek depending on who they are avoiding, gladhanding, or suddenly donning their serious face on the occasion a p.o needs to be chastised or told no.
Otherwise, this continues to be a clout driven token on the road to a higher pension seeing as how the dept. stopped cultivating future heads of bureaus or units or divisions based on skill level or leadership for a few years now.

Sergeant's Test Trick Question

To all of you guys and gals studying for the upcoming sergeants test. Pay attention to Special Order 03-02-01 Firearm Discharge Incidents Other Than Destruction Of Animals.

The order has information about round tables. We no longer have round tables. This may show up in the first part or the second part. It's a trick.

Just another way to promote a clout baby who eventually drains the pension fund. Exempt pensions need to stop! When they retire, they should draw a pension based off of their civil service rank (Sgt or Lt).

"We don't need watch commanders"

"the sgt's. can do the job of a lt." The job of the Lieutenant was to do the Captain/Watch Commanders job when the Captain was not there. Remember they did not want to pay Sergeants the Out of Grade as Lieutenants for doing the job of a Captain.

Then you say and make sense "put things back they way they should be" Yes get rid of Rahm and McNumbnuts, but it will take years to undo the damage they have done to this department.

One of the worst things they have done is to convince people that the ON THE CHEAP was of running this department and servicing the taxpaying citizens is the way thing should be..

If you've proven you can do without captains, and pretty much done the same with lieutenant (even more worthless position), why the constant bogging down of the ranks with a top heavy, wasteful glut of more management than you need?

It would seem that at the very top they must be planning more 'innovations' to stall a comprehensive overhaul and continue to distract and obscure from the incompetence and inefficiency going on at headquarters...

if you're gonna have that many white shirts, they need to justify having them at district level and draining that much payroll. My concern is somebody's gonna want to create squads or teams for these sectors and you'll be stuck with your very own complete set of nitwits using the p.o. to make themselves look needed and busy-a sergeant, a field lieutenant, and a captain- pretending they are all on the street, but really just pointing out b.s. none of them will actually do anything about except assign to the p.o.

so our next phase of leadership and supervision will be handwaver white shirts making way more than you do just logging their minutes in a car pointing out shit they would never do but expect you to do so they can keep the next ridiculous department strategy going until the next puppet regime comes along.

I hope they replace Lts as watch commanders with this new list of captains. We don't need XOs, that is a redundant position designed to keep people in their rank rather than dumping them. There should be one person of rank to run the watch in each district and each unit, and the Lts should be made to running the field operations. Some white shirts are quite capable, but not all want it since the XOs are useless and can be dumped and moved at any time. Watch Commanders is a necessary position that should have structure, not just any old supervisor sitting in. A lot of the sgts can handle it, but some can't and it's a mess. Screw the XO spot, get us steady watch commanders and put the structure back in the operation.

If your young ok, start a new life, I turned 55 last month, made 130K last year, yes blue shirt working special, some of us still like the job, the people we work with, the job we do! So tired of coppers or fake coppers talking bullshit about moving out, leaving, if you hate the city and job so much don't bitch just leave, there are thousands waiting to take your position! Let me tell you about this job, tough at times sure, this job put both my kids through top colleges 1 Notre Dame the other Harvard! Not bragging but this job allowed me to give my kids something I could never have, and to the detractors a family practice doctor makes about $130,000 a year, owes hundreds of thousands in loans now tell me how bad this job is?

90 percent of the new captains will be trained as inspectors--- mcswiller knows that the discipline is missing from the rank and file (patrol and the d unit) and he will be sending out his new inspectors to shake the bushes and get everyone in line...

Is captain radio Martin Ryczek getting promoted to commander of civilians at the OEMC?

Seriously, why have a captain in charge of civilians at the OEMC?

There are plenty of real police who would love to have the title of captain.

Ahhh Allison Schloss, was in my academy class. She was in her kaki shirt way after we all got our blues for us making it over the wall. But she did finally make when they had closed door testing, and viola, she made it. However she never did complete the runs, always fell out and walked to fininsh. Remember , it's "earned not given".....

Just watched the news mcwhocares was talking and al wysinger first deputy big paycheck huge pension just s usual standing in the back, like always, tell us again why we need a first deputy? I know al is building a mansion in another state but what does the first deputy do?

10/07/2013 10:35:00 PM

The 1st Deputy is supposed to run the day to day operations of the Department. Problem is big Al can't even tie his shoes without help. So you are somewhat correct...he does nothing except cause stupid problems. In WAY over his head. You almost have to work at being that clueless.

Look for commander spots to be replaced by captains. More of the NY model and a way to pay someone less to do a job.

10/07/2013 08:51:00 PM

With benefits they actually make more than commanders.

I hope they replace Lts as watch commanders with this new list of captains. We don't need XOs, that is a redundant position designed to keep people in their rank rather than dumping them. There should be one person of rank to run the watch in each district and each unit, and the Lts should be made to running the field operations. Some white shirts are quite capable, but not all want it since the XOs are useless and can be dumped and moved at any time. Watch Commanders is a necessary position that should have structure, not just any old supervisor sitting in. A lot of the sgts can handle it, but some can't and it's a mess. Screw the XO spot, get us steady watch commanders and put the structure back in the operation.

10/07/2013 02:22:00 PM

Dam, this hit the nail right on the head! There is no more stability and structure on the watch. It's just fill in dss here and there that don't really want to be there.

10/07/2013 07:36:00 PM

This absolutely nailed it. Beyond that, it is just common sense. The most important link in the chain of command was broken with this f*ckd up system. But they don't do it that way in New York so we won't do it here. Has Mc Copy everything from New York ever had an original idea in his booze soaked head? Highly doubtful.

Most of the current captains did not score high enough on the sergeant's list to be sergeant without merit. Brain drain.

Lt. P from 124 thinks he's a shoe in for Captain.
For anyone that gets him as a boss, watch your back. He's afraid of making any kind of decision. But swears he knows the G.O.'s and PO contract inside and out!!

Next round of exempts should be selected from rank of Patrolman. How many of the blue shirts have been passed over on prior sets. Tests that are more qualified than the current xo and commanders. Please no more captain or xo promotions , total waste of money. Put current xo in charge of units like traffic,mass transit,crime lab ,reps,melas,let's save the pension

How about we save money from our union dues and not pay Shields and the rest of the FOP dogs Deputy Chief's pay or Captain's pay?

Some of you who think Captains and Lieutenants are useless should feel the same about the Sergeants? Why should a Sergeant run the watch? Let's just eliminate all ranks except for patrol officer. Then the watch can run by committee. That would be a perfect end to an already fucked up structure and administration. Then when you come on the job you can work hard to get no promotion and no raise in pay or pension to do the work normally done by a white shirt. Twenty + years you'll be in blue with only a desk job (that will go only to the clouted) to look forward to. As a matter of fact, if the team policing pilot program slated for 012 goes we can even eliminate dicks. Just have the team do the investigation from initiation to prosecution. Then we won't need dicks either. What a department that would be!

Exactly right. Big Al is soooooo impressed with his being the 1st Dep. Problem is he has no idea what the 1st Dep is supposed to be doing. Utterly incompetent and it's an embarrassment to have him as the 1st Dep.
