The Changes

From what we can determine, three, count 'em, one, two, three, changes late Friday evening:
  • James Jones from 020 to 003 (lateral)
  • Glenn Evans from 003 to 011 (lateral)
  • Lt. Kevin (?) Duffin to Acting Commander of 020
We have no idea why the AdMin Fax labels Duffin as "Acting Commander."

He is listed as "Acting" Commander because a Lieutenant must be approved by the City Council to be made exempt. Therefore he will be "acting" until he is confirmed.

Commander (Acting) is required by a legal finding, after so many days they can then be promoted and not be in violation of the Shakman agreement. (all BS).

It is my understanding that Leo Panepinto was promoted to Commander of 009.

Acting Commander is part of a pilot program to restructure all ranks above sergeant in a manner more forthright and honest in its title and designation.
From now on, everyone will be acting. It's been going on now for a few years, but in refreshing candor, the dept. has decided to just be up front about it.

To the goofs who keep saying next class is from new list: (1) new list not out till late May or June, (2) It's been verified McCarthy has been doing merit interviews , (3) McCarthy would have announce new merit applications & start process all over again to hire from new list. New sergeants from next list won't happen till next spring at the earliest.

Both Kevin and Leo are very good bosses so why not just tell them they're the Commanders not "actors"
With these "acting" Commanders what's their pay grade? Does Leo still just get Capt.'s pay and Kevin Lt.'s pay? Remember Rahm's hissy fit about out of grade and his edict that nobody can ever "act up out of grade" only "act down below grade"
Once again Rahm and McFailure are as transparent as mud!

The McCarthy regime announced a strategy of combating gang violence through home visits by command staff. Evans got 011 so what will Pena get? I heard all that manufactured good publicity on television and print will earn her a coveted spot at the Homan Headquarters. Her effective communication skills, her ability to identify/create gang suppression event numbers and contact card super stats will propel her to the position of Commander of the Gang Intelligence Section. Yikes. Having no prior actual criminal gang enforcement experience prior to his title as Gang Commander, Chris Kennedy will be elevated to Deputy Chief commanding the crack gang units. For those naysayers who say he doesn’t know gangs just remember he has a title which negates all your so called street level arrest type gang busting experience and all those verifiable documented arreststype enforcement activities.

My fucking ass. Commanders are called "exempt" for a reason. They are exempt from the rules of civil service and the Shakman decree. Does not cover exempt levels. They can be made or fired on a whim. And it isn't like a flag officer in the military, general or admiral etc. In over 30 years I never heard of confirmation by the City Council for a commander.

A number of 'exempt' positions are designated as Shackman positions. They fall under the rules of the city's Dept. Of Personnel which trumps the CPD Personnel Dept. As agreed to by the original Mayor Daley and the Dept. Of Justice in a consent decree that does not expire until the Federal Courts say so. Old Matt Rodriguez, Phil Cline and Terry Hillard got reamed by City Hall for trying to go around it.

You are so Special! The City Council has to approve the commander to be sure that the due diligence is conducted. And then corporation council has to abide by the Shakman order. The city does not want to get sued under the section 1981 statute for discrimination. The Superintendent, mayor, and city council have to submit their votes. After that, a weighted preference average is taken from the input of the citizens.

Cmndr. Toby Burton used to tell people, I'm Hawaiian. It worked with some. You guys and gals are lucky not to have him still on the department. He's a lying, sneaky, conniving, underhanded, no good pos. Toby is the guy that removed the interview room doors at Area Central. Toby, I hope you read this post. You are a fucking asshole.

Hey stupid, a gold star is an exempt position meaning exempt. From Shakman! Anyone can be made a commander management has so many positions that do not fall under Shakman there is no city council approved for any gold star positions (they may individually recommend a individual). But it is for the superintendent to make the appointment all previous promotions made were listed as Commander not acting. Kline promoted two sergeants to deputy chief spots James Keating and Mike Cronin, both good guys but they were only sergeants and they were made with no acting bullshit or council approval.

There were over 10 police officers promoted to commander or director over the years not counting 2 commander spots on the mayors detail who are police officers. All were immediately listed as Commander with no city council approval.

Again I'll say it, You stupid jagoff, "our livelihood" is being disassembled one step at a time because that's how you and those you convinced to stop working are doing it. Don't want to get out of your car to direct traffic? No problem. The city hired a couple of hundred TMA's to screw it up just as bad as you did. Mad at that? Stop writing movers. That'll teach them. Nope, the city installed red light and now speed camera's. That's bullshit. I'm not doing anymore parkers. So they have the civilian company ticket the meter parkers, camera's on street sweepers, and bus supervisors for bus stops. We complained about having to do reports. That was below some of us and out of the grasp of others. No problem. They have call-back take them now. We have bitched our selves out of work. No, I take that back. YOU have messed up your own livelihood.

Beautifully stated and so true!

You are so Special! The City Council has to approve the commander to be sure that the due diligence is conducted. And then corporation council has to abide by the Shakman order. The city does not want to get sued under the section 1981 statute for discrimination. The Superintendent, mayor, and city council have to submit their votes. After that, a weighted preference average is taken from the input of the citizens.

Oh, I see, you mean it is all legit, the commander spot is scrupulously vetted and the appointment process is honest, dignified and above board. I see. My how it has changed in 18 months since retirement. Used to be the phone call was enough. I really like that line, "a weighted preference average is taken from the input of the citizens." That's good, really. Almost as good as "notify the watch commander."

Here is a list of job titles exempt from Shakman provisions. Notice the position of "I. Commander (Police) (Title 9752) (53)" It is on page 6.

Remember the only thing a Lt. has left to do is mentoring. So next time you see your Lt. ask to be mentored and maybe you get a hug too. Love the new CPD........

Then the IAD clown from 016 should drop a fuckin dime on MH! WTF, "Iron Mike " wants his girlfriend in a sweet spot so we must oblige.
I'm surprised that "tool box" MR isn't up for something. He was supposed to get 017 when he was the W/C on 3rd watch but Meeler was named. Law degree versus no degree. Then the rumor was 024 and we know what happened there. This clown used to take his History Magazines & leave em around so all who saw them knew "Iron Mike" was a studious history buff. If he can't speak the language how does he read it?
Copastetic? He said it rite in front of his C/O at the X, John Kenny. Kenny is well educated & the eye roll was something 2 C.
When "Iron Mike" finally retires will Nationwide/Charles Schwab consider his "get the flying FUCK" out if here party a non taxable event? I swear I'd kick in, or to place a weed whacker on that mustache(I don't think it wood work, the weed whack wood break)that's just reeks of an uneducated person....

Evans & Lemmer reduced crime????? A winter of sub zero temperature & several feet of snow reduced crime. The only thing they reduced were rapid response cars, the traffic car, and parking spaces in the lot.

Reduced crime in 003?????. Maybe because it was cold ass hell, or ray-ray didn't want to mess his tims up in the 6 feet of snow we had this winter. Tom Skilling should get as much credit as Evans & Lemmer.

Tom Lemmer had a big part in the decrease in crime in 003 and should have gotten the commander's spot in 003. Is it because he's a white male that he didn't the spot?

3/02/2014 04:12:00 PM

Whatever you are smoking is some good shit. Lemmer was never the police. All he ever did as a PO working the Area violence car was steal arrests from other coppers. He has been a kiss ass merit hack his entire career. He wouldn't know how to be the police if it bit him in the ass. Worked with many coppers who were merit promoted their whole career. Lemmer is one of the biggest no nothing assholes on the job. The only thing he is good at is manipulating the crime stats so there are less of every crime on the books. If you think I'm jealous of his merit rise in rank, don't think so. When he was promoted it was the greatest thing ever. Didn't have to put up with his bullshit anymore. Ask any copper who knew him as a PO in the early 90's.

His claim to fame was the west side and his one roach at a time arrest. We were ll sick of his bs since the late 70.' and his vast knowledge of the w/s bangers.
It did not take an Einstien to arrest and charge the shooters and stick up men.
He had 15,000 hours on the books when he pulled the pin and cried he only got paid at dick's pay when he retired. Also his Dep. Chief pension.
Fat Phil made him.
Cronin scewed over many a good copper with his bs, He never went home and lived at home. He had no life and was cheaper then a old pawn broker. He was not too well liked !
He and Fat Phil have more $$ then the US government.

The 3rd watch lieutenant in 024 has told a lot of people (prior to her going on the medical) that she is getting the Marine Unit as CO. Any truth to that?

I would like to know who you are. I have met one person who likes Lemmer in this Dept. I mean in person, he is a Sgt who has known Lemmer since their academy days. You would be the second. Lemmer is quite smart. As in book smart. I would easily believe that he is not a merit promotee. However, Lemmer IS NOT commander material! He is arrogant and condescending. Absolutely not leader material.

Amen brother. I keep saying the same things. When coppers don't do anything on the job, they have no leverage. Wake up Officers. Start doing some work and gain back the leverage.
Also maybe if we raise some revenue, our water bill will stop going up exponentially!!! ok kind of kidding on the last one.

I agree that Cronin was a legend in his own mind. Not the brightest bulb in the lamp, but I heard he had over 18,000 hours on the books. Good to know that he didn't cash out at Deputy's pay. I thought that he did.

Jones seemed like a good guy, although he was only there a short while. They need to take henny penny away and put her in a room somewhere. Cant they promote her to dept chief of atoms and molecules or something? Give her all the quarks in the universe to screw with and leave the uniformed officers alone.
