Sgts Promoted
Another 85 made late yesterday.
Supposedly the last class off a list that is 8-plus old now.
We'd post the list, but we're sleepy. If you've got it, post it in the comments.
Thank you.

I thought the test was 2006, which would make it 8 years. Maybe I'm wrong, either way -it's done. New results out soon. At least some of these promotees bring experience to the table.
Congrats to Sgt Enriquez from #012, some lucky district is going to get a great BOSS !!! "1206A anything further squad "....

Look at retired cmdr Alvarado. Another merit HDO afraid of his own shadow who was give easy units and still had no control ie locking front doors to old 023 station cause he was afraid a crowd would "storm" the station.
You should have seen Alvarado when the nut in 023 attacked the desk crew with a butcher knife and was shot dead at the desk by a guy from mass transit. That day Alvarado locked HIMSELF in the commander's office.
5/07/2014 08:23:00 AM
AGAIN with 023/019?!!!
Oh, you have SO ROUGH there!! You POOR guy!!!
Listen, ASSHOLE; Alvarado never hurt anyone. Compare that to Pena, or (closer to your heart) XO Ryan.
Again; you're an ASSHOLE.
PERIOD!
Speaking of Sergeants, I can't believe that nobody told you S.C.C. about the epic roll call in 011 the other day by Commander Evans. He blasted certain Jagoff sergeants on 3rd watch that love to fuck with and SPAR coppers. J.T. and A.Z. in particular. He even went so far as to shove a PAR form in J.T. face, mean mugged him and basically told him to bid the fuck out in front of everyone. Lmao! This prick J.T. wouldn't even come up on the air to handle an IOD for one of the guys on his log today. Another sergeant had to handle it. Copper was banged up pretty good too. Commander Evans knows that there are some hard working coppers in 011, and they are constantly being fucked with, yelled at and treated like shit by these dickhead supervisors on 3rd watch, and he's not having it anymore. Rumor is that someone overnighted through the mail a PAR form to A.Z. house. A.Z. was so shaken up by this, he was even texting his mortal enemy J.T. on his day off looking for comfort and support. Now you know the world is coming to an end. 1st Evans gets rid of Lt. J.A., are the legendary jagoff duo of J.T. and A.Z. next? If so, moral in 011 is going to bust through the roof!!! Commander Evans for Superintendent!!!
Remember, it's all legit.
That's why yet another Superintendent's driver got made.
Ditto someone hidden in a west side CAPS office since it's inception.
Same goes for the prerequisite "heavy hitters" from 189 and 193.
And gee whiz wouldn't you know it? A good number of this group of the "best and the brightest" hails from various D units.
One thing I DO believe is that this is the final class off the existing list because of its size (have to push the last phone calls through, after all). Look no further down the list than the goof from from 003. His escapades are damn near unrivaled on the job, but he gets the nod for being Brookins' guy. Absolutley fucking disgusting that an "officer" with his history gets chevrons.
Hey McIMakeMyDriversMerit! You want to boost morale and earn some Good Boss points? Then A) list the merit slugs on this list and B) make another class , in very short order, off the new list - ALL RANK ORDER.
here is a cue for all you fools, promote 1070 to jackass of the year, someone tell that fool to shut up. Quite your jibber jabber fool. 1070 should teach the new sgt class on radio communications. I will be at your retirement party 1070 telling you to STFU!!!
The arbitrator's decision on the second sergeants DSS grievance is coming down soon.
THURSDAY the Chief of Patrol came out with an order which states that lieutenants will NO LONGER ACT AS THE DSS if there is a shortage of sergeants. This all stems from the arbitration.
The city is now forced to have enough sergeants so there will be enough to cover the street (at least 2) and 1 sergeant to be the DSS. This is why a new class was made today.
Hmmmmm.....still looks like someone else isn't going very far either on this job.
Jeez! Everyone get their phone call? Have all old scores been settled?
Congrats to all, but this is beyond retarded.
How many have been made since the new test was completed? Over 200? Now the people from the new list start out that much further behind.
10 years down the road, lather, rinse, repeat.
Buncha short-bus ridin, window lickers run this shit show.
A lot of bosses retiring in the very near future. Had to get their people in before they pull the plug.
How far did they get off the list now?
Good luck to those of you who made it by testing well or being well connected. Please don't forget the blue shirts.
They have taken a lot of people off a very old test since the new test was administered. Are the rumors true they are burying the new Sgt test results because a certain race did well? The reason this department sucks is a total lack of communication. Any professional organization would say when the new results would be released. But not CPD. Same old shit, different decade.
Cook County prosecutors are investigating a land deal that netted Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown and her husband tens of thousands of dollars with no money down, the Tribune has learned.
Congrats to Paul McDonaugh. He will be a great Sgt and will be missed in the detective division!
10 year old list and the officers still waiting for scores, ridiculous
It's all legit!
Unfortunately all the rumors are true. All of you that studied your ass off, paid money for a study class, scored in the top % BUT since you are CAUCASION and overachieved...you are now going to be punished. They will "hold on" to this new list and maybe, along with the minority merit hacks...make 100 before scrapping it. So in past tests where the top 350 would of made it now its the top 100. This is pitiful. My son who studied his ass off unless he's in the top 100 will be washed out. I'm a retired Sgt and looked into what you guys can do lawsuit wise but the This crooked city is playing dirty but fair. As long as they don't "announce" the NEW Sgt test list they can hire from the old list all they want. And they will. Just for the minorities. And there is nothing we can do. I called one of my brass buddies and he said sorry, the new list was "too white"...asshole didnt know my son took it. Now could you imagine if the test results were referred to as being "too black"???
If you were lucky to be on the old list congrats. If this was your last chance and your on this new list then I feel bad for you. Usually hard work is rewarded, not this time.
Fuck this Shithole city. Get out if and when you can. This city is not going to go bankrupt, or self destruct, its just an evil place that will make you hate your life.
-Retired in Florida.
So now we have 3 sergeants on the FOP board!
Dean its time to act no white shirt can handle contract talks!
I know you are working on it?
all that college and no sense.
I've never seen the city promote more than 300 po's from the 1998 or 2002 list but on this 2006 list they are at almost 400. There still rumors of one more class being made from this list. This means that's it will be at least 1 year before first class from new list. This is total BS and unfair.
About half of the newly promote at bosses kids or merit hacks
Congratulations E.S. Know you waited a long time for this. Guess better late than never. You deserve it girl. R.J good for you too. Both good gals, know a lot, and been through a lot.
I feel continually kicked while I'm down by this Dept. So many of us waited so very long to take the Sgt. exam a few months ago. And then the Dept. starts up the promotions again off the years-old list when they could have the cream of the crap off the new list! It is just so demoralizing.
great for retired ray malczinskis son.both great coppers
Congrats Atour!!!!!!
No doubt they wont be taking anyone from the new list for at least six years!
Congrats to all.

I was 486 on the 1998 sergeants exam.
They got to approximately 550 on the list.
With the merit hacks they made OVER 700 off the 1998 exam.
The August 1998 class had 250.
Chicago is making national headlines again. This time for failing to deliver US mail.
This was posted on Drudge:
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/05/07/2-investigators-complaints-growing-over-undelivered-mail/
I am now buying the fact that the results have been in and the city is holding the results because too many whites scored well, because I know at least 15 on that list and if you combine their activity it is less than 10 arrests over the last 4 years and there is some lazy, bitter names (hate being a police officer). I am surprised that someone from the police department didn't say that since the city has the results, send them.
Hopefully the promotion changes them, but they will have a hard time leading/supervising after they were shitty police officers.
Word is there going up to 500 which would make u top 10% then it's done?
Great to see the guy who the city fired for sending air mail parking tickets to his neighbor is now considered to have the moral and intelligence level necessary to put officers under his control. Only in Chicago; SMH...
@1231 am 011 still has A LOT of work to do. There are still sergeants on 1st watch who like to fuck with people too. And for some reason these new Lt's keep coming in and don't notice that the problems are at the top. MORAL starts at the top, and trickles down. You might be wearing a white shirt, but your supposed to bleed blue. Don't forget when you are calling for help it's going to be one of us coming to help you.
Its nice that the Supts driver and secretary both made Sgt meritoriously. CH and KS congratulations. I'm sure you're a wealth of Police experience.
There's people on the actualvlist that were skipped. HR fucked up again. Look for an amended list today. Or a lawsuit tomorrow
how about a class of EVIDENCE TECHS coach?
I hate all the rumors regarding the test. If they have the results they should at least notify us.
Good luck DP!
The death spiral of this department continues. There are a few promotees out of Area Central that I wouldn't let supervise a Pet Smart.

Ohhhh stop your whining u little sissy. Tell that to the guy who just made it. It's the last class for that list. Be glad for the people who waited so long and finally made it.

They went to 360 on the 2202 list.
They went to 350 on the 2002 list.
Got to remember they cut 200 Sgts. These people should have made it over 2 years ago.
25 merit hacks on this order.
They wemt to 385 off the list.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Yawwwwwwnnnnn, yeah ok. "Retired in Florida" or are u just a bitter guy sitting at home after working third watch who has no chance of making sgt... Your bitter. Your story is so perfectly tied together and covers all bases because you called everyone who has the exact right answers supporting your theory... Yeah, ok. Go back to moms basement and make up more good ones
There are some good names on this list...and some really scary ones.
Sue fagan? Really , the same woman her fto's tried to fail? The same woman who tried shooting a spider that was inside her squad car. What a brick.
Artiga? Merit FOR SURE. now that is one self promoting tool. Thinks he was the police but never was.
The fastest way to promotion on this job is to be the Sup's driver. Hardy gets a merit spot so it's all legit. Get your self a GPS and beg to be the driver and you too will be a Sergeant one day. It's all legit.
definition of insanity....doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result! SSDD folks, are you new here?
off topic: did anyone see the disgrace to the uniform website!! Holy shit this dummy is gonna cause a lot of bad press!
AGAIN with 023/019?!!!
Oh, you have SO ROUGH there!! You POOR guy!!!
Listen, ASSHOLE; Alvarado never hurt anyone. Compare that to Pena, or (closer to your heart) XO Ryan.
Again; you're an ASSHOLE.
PERIOD!
5/09/2014 12:28:00 AM
Why do you have to be so vicious with your comments on this blog? You're supposed to be brothers...people can have different opinions, and you can express yours, but do you have to resort to schoolyard name-calling? I'm embarrassed by people like you and the misplaced anger in their responses. Show some restraint. And get some help. You're clearly going down the wrong road.
S.H from 020? You are joking, right?
boys and girls keep working hard but instead of working in the bad districts try getting a spot in either the superintendents office or Chief Tracy's office,there is a better percentage of getting promoted with weekends off then handling job after job working afternoons or midnites.
Ahh Sue Fagan. I remember her failing her cycles as a PPO. Shooing a fly away by flinging her gun in the air. Yep she will fit right in with today's idea of a boss. Or should that be Bozo.
In the last 2 list 9 sgts from 606......wtf.
Is the city done juking the new test yet?
SW? Oh come on!!! Puke
Some great experienced people that are going to be phenomenal sgts., that can, will, and know how to protect people. Grats to Joaquim, Velma, Emmet, Carl, Russ, and Vance. Police officers one and all and right thinking Americans.
I/F
Steve Anderson congratulations. I'm sure your dad is very proud. Good Luck.
Hey some of those people on the list are sgt already
OT - Thanks to Dist 5 troopers for the assist on a case. We did some good work yesterday.
In the 1970's they went past 1,000 for minorities. The test was given in 1978 and they were pulling people from it into 1986 or '87. They can do whatever they want and they can dip as deep as they want.
Calm down everybody. They wanted to get this class in before the summer. This is the last class off the old list. Sorry. No promotions over the summer. When class of sergeants are made off the new list it will be in the winter or early next year.
All the federal boys have made lt or sgt except for one guy that must be one helluva brick i remember a day when greeks had some clout on this job i guess those days are gone
Congrats to Micky D from 022- good man!
Yes the list has been up for eight years not ten. Must be the same guys who think we're down 4-5k cops.
8 yrs is a long time, especially for those who just were able to take their first promotional exam. But 400 people out of about 4000 that took the test is not scraping the bottom of the barrel. These people are in the top 10%! It's not their fault that the city had a promotional and hiring slowdown.
Good we need more Sgt's, especially one to replace the 3 month wonder that went back to 018 to be business liason Sgt. lmao
People whining about the old test vs new test stfu. You think you deserve a promotion? Thousands of coppers studied and took study groups and paid for classes for the last test because we were promised advancement then they scored the test and stalled promotions. Everyone who scored well on the last test deserves to be promoted before moving in to the new test. Yea the merit sucks but cops who scored in the top percentage should be promoted.
Wilson is that the guy always sleeping at the desk and hasn't been on the street in a decade- another perfectly deserved merit pick from 2....
Someone name the merits , I have 4 years on and need to know what type of Police Officer is considered for Merit.
376 wtf / father in law was the cmdr of equipment supply.and husband merit lt retired etc etc etc ..pass the cocoa puffs please..
Thank GOD CH finally got his merit promotion driving uncle Terry and G Mac. Remember this when G Mac says he only picks merits that earn it.

5/09/2014 03:43:00 AM
Hey dumbshit if you think rank order number 400 is too far down the list consider that the first class off the new list will include 30% meritorious promotee's who spell shit with two "t's". For your information 4500 patrolman typically take the sergeants test, therefore a person who is 400 is in the top 8%. Put that in your 001st District Starbucks caramel machiotto and smoke it! No wonder you still haven't been promoted, goof. And let's not forget two famous #1 on the list promotee's Jan Robards Dillon an Ritchie Brezcezk! Both a credit to the Department!
I have been retired for 12 years now and I realize how long that has been when I see a promotional list and recognize NO ONE. I was a detective and I was happy in that job, But, like everyone else I wanted to be promoted because detectives received very little respect in the department. So, I made sergeant and in short order I was unhappy and I missed the D unit. I realized that sergeants are not respected in the department either. I sure hope things have changed over these years, especially with two superintendents from outside the inbred CPD. Daley ruined the CPD with his picks for superintendent, with Hillard and Cline being the two worst.

Wouldn't a lt acting as DSS be a demotion for the day? Would they get less pay that day as well?
Where is the butchers bill story?????

At least some of these promotees bring experience to the table.

Like bobbing for apples under an Aldercreatures desk???
With McCarthy making his driver and Schuler who work in his office along with Biggane, I would say he knows his days are numbered and he's taking care of who he can. Those two from his office though? That's scary.
Congratulations new sergeants and welcome to the south and west sides for a very long time!

That's the point. Make us miserable and fuck us over. They know they have us by the balls with residency. Trying to force early retirements or early outs. I'm planning on lateral transferring by the end of next year. Fuck; il, CPD,politics, savages, etc... I want to stay but fuck it, I know when it's time to go. At least I got a masters out of them on full pay over seas. Go fuck yourself Rahm, McCarthy, aldermen, revs, and all you other self important assholes
Looks like they went a little too far down the list....lots of bad police officers who will be worse sgts
Let's see how many of the clot baby's stay North.
Weslene O"Donnell is already a sergeant in 011
Congratulations to all the newly appointed Sgts. A bit of a knock on the list of the last test administered: rumors are exactly that, rumors. But it's hard to believe it takes this long to grade and rank a test. If the numbers don't satisfy the "equality" rubric then so be it. Would you accept a professional sports team that didn't draft the best of the best? Hell no! They only take those qualified to advance the team, improve their program and produce winners. Why should the city do anything less? Why aren't the citizens screaming for the best people for the job? I'm all for recognizing outstanding Officers but my team would be stacked with smart, talented, brave, hard working coppers. I don't care what color they are. I don't care if they have a pedigree a mile long. If they are suited for the job, then they should do/have that job. Reward excellence and shun failure.
MIND NUMBING!!!

Keep in mind this is the same guy who failed the FTO Exam. He's living proof the CPD Promotions are a verifiable joke.
All the whoo ha, he/ or she will make a great boss, go fuck yourselves suckholes
" the cream of the crap "
Exactly
congrats to all who made it. know a few of you personally.

You fuckin crybaby. People scored in the top ten percent on this last list and waited seven years to get called. So quit whining. I'm sure your in the top ten on the new list so you'll be called next year. Right.

Unfortunately all the rumors are true. All of you that studied your ass off, paid money for a study class, scored in the top % BUT since you are CAUCASION and overachieved...you are now going to be punished. They will "hold on" to this new list and maybe, along with the minority merit hacks...make 100 before scrapping it. So in past tests where the top 350 would of made it now its the top 100. This is pitiful. My son who studied his ass off unless he's in the top 100 will be washed out. I'm a retired Sgt and looked into what you guys can do lawsuit wise but the This crooked city is playing dirty but fair. As long as they don't "announce" the NEW Sgt test list they can hire from the old list all they want. And they will. Just for the minorities. And there is nothing we can do. I called one of my brass buddies and he said sorry, the new list was "too white"...asshole didnt know my son took it. Now could you imagine if the test results were referred to as being "too black"???
If you were lucky to be on the old list congrats. If this was your last chance and your on this new list then I feel bad for you. Usually hard work is rewarded, not this time.
Fuck this Shithole city. Get out if and when you can. This city is not going to go bankrupt, or self destruct, its just an evil place that will make you hate your life.

It's true. My old man made a few phone calls and inquired. Talk about a kick in the balls.
Speaking of Sergeants, I can't believe that nobody told you S.C.C. about the epic roll call in 011 the other day by Commander Evans. He blasted certain Jagoff sergeants on 3rd watch that love to fuck with and SPAR coppers. J.T. and A.Z. in particular.
--------------------------------
A.Z getting a beat down > Hard to beleive ! Before he became a Sgt, he was rightfully sparred weekly. When he worked with a partner, they begged never again.
A Cmdr that dresses down white shirt' is a hero to the street copper'.
Heard nothing but good stuff regarding Evans. He might be crazy, but Police crazy. All the great bosses fit that bill.

Hey ass hole who says he fills kicked down......how do you think these people feel after 10 years of waiting I know at least 10people on this list they deserve it with no clout....if I have to wait 10 years for my promotion .... it's all good as long as I get the pension and chance to take a Lt. Exam....your time will come hair gel
Speaking of promotions albeit of a different sort...

YES, Chicago tourist will be treated to the thrill of on-viewing mass shootings in front of colorfully painted graffiti backdrops.
Ride along tickets will be available starting at $1,000 a pop thru ticket master and watch for those Groupon discount coupon offers.
Ask about our group discounts for parties greater then ten.
Gotta run Rahm's having another fun raising party in D.C. and the flight is boarding.
Ain't got time for dat.
Congrats to J.G. from 630. This is the type of copper they should be promoting. I would work for him anytime.
Whoever posted the list got it wrong. Weslene O'Donnell is a sergeant in 011 already!!
How far on the list did they go?
Hey 3:43 AM Read your post JR. Sure you are the cream of the CRAP just like you posted Dickhead. Sober up and back to Mom's basement with you fool. What a stroke.
To 2:07 AM. Relax and enjoy retirement. Let Jr fend for himself. All those yrs OTJ and you still don't know how this shit works. You sound like the other fucks. "Why not my kid?" We don't give a fuck. Let Jr fly by himself Dad.

I feel continually kicked while I'm down by this Dept. So many of us waited so very long to take the Sgt. exam a few months ago. And then the Dept. starts up the promotions again off the years-old list when they could have the cream of the crap off the new list! It is just so demoralizing.
5/09/2014 03:43:00 AM
So, you're assuming that you'll be in the top 1% - "cream of the crop." What if you're not? What if you landed around 300 on the list, which is still a great score on the test. When they come to you 6 years from now, are you going to tell them "No, don't take me. Take the list down and go get the "'cream of the crop'" from the new test."
NO you won't. You'll take that damn promotion and you and your family will be happy as hell for you. They are only in the mid 300's off the list. So these people making it now are very deserving. Don't be so selfish. If you score as well as you think you did, your time will come.
It's true they're playing with numbers from the new sgt. test. Too many m/2's passed legitimately. I already have Terry Ekl on retainer pro bono and we are going to sue the shit out of this city and department. Gonna be a big payday.
Congrats to Janet Comiskey. Glad they finally got to your number. Jan's a very dependable , smart woman. She will be good.

Didn't we pay a twenty-five dollar fee to take the new test? I believe according to business law that establishes a contract and we are entitled to the results in a timely fashion.
Da Da... Lil LT Johnny no like 1W. Da Da... Can you use your "magic" and tell them that Lil LT Johnny likes 2W? My tummy feels yucky Da Da.
Get over yourselves white people the test isn't being thrown out because you did well on the test. There's plenty of white blur shirts that should be working at burger king and have no business on this job
Hey 12;12 AM You are a trip. Alvarado was afraid of his own Shadow. Couldn't handle 023, ERPS or Neighborhood Relations. Sounds like this is COOP who worked in Civil Rights with her girlfriends in Unit 132 who all went to a "spa" on company time. Made Sgt then begged to come backed to Unit 132 saying she knew all about LGBT or whatever. As a PO at talked about her sex toys that belonged to her girlfriend dropping out of luggage at airport. And had to listen to this shit. Our sgt just laughed. Good job Ton Scal. Then intimidated Alvarado she made decisions.Fuck you danny boy. Hope to see you at Jewel!
As a civilian, how many are these are "merit" promotions?

To those who earned the spot legitimately congratulations. You deserve it. You worked hard and waited a long time. To those who are "merit" or who are insiders and did not earn it, remember, you stole that spot from someone else who tried to earn it the right way.
Good luck to all and now you will be working 99. Be safe and never be afraid to call for backup.
Best place on any promo list is right before the person they're reaching for
Cream of the Crop? Fool there was a time when you needed to work and known this job before you supervised troops in the field. These guys have waited probably longer for this promotion, then you've been on the job. Sicking sense of entitlement by these new super gel heads. As far as meritorious goes coppers were promoted that way in the old days if they were shot on the job, saved someone by shooting someone or did something truly heroic.It was a reward for sacrifice and going up and beyond. Now working in the office is considered heroic.
>>>The arbitrator's decision on the second sergeants DSS grievance is coming down soon.
THURSDAY the Chief of Patrol came out with an order which states that lieutenants will NO LONGER ACT AS THE DSS if there is a shortage of sergeants. This all stems from the arbitration.
The city is now forced to have enough sergeants so there will be enough to cover the street (at least 2) and 1 sergeant to be the DSS. This is why a new class was made today.
5/09/2014 12:50:00 AM<<<
It's all to run the Department on the cheap. Why pay Captain's pay and PENSION when Rahm can have a Sergeant do the same work.
And another thing about having three Sergeants on the FOP Board; one of the worst things we ever did was to let Old Man Daley and John Dineen split us up as in "divide and conquer" us. We should have stayed together like the CFD/Local 2 did up to Battalion Chief.
They went to 535 off the 1998 list
I hope SCC got promoted even though retired :)
5/09/2014 03:43:00 AM stop your crying-- if you don't like things here at CPD go get a new job.

My friend... If you have no phone call... good luck on getting the position. do yourself a favor... Follow a passion. Start a business. Learn something new that you can do after your 20 years. You will be much happier. I am. Best wishes and don't let it beat ya down!!

Lt. A.S. from 24 - new CO of the Marine Unit???
Elizabeth Schweiger.... Are you kidding... She is crazy as they come. She is a first class nut job. How can she possibly tell anyone what to do. God help the police dept.
Creme of the crop..... This is still the top 10 percent.. You probably think you scored well on the new test, but in reality, you probably bombed! Cream of the crop, please!
Congratulations to all the new sgts.
When they give the class on radio communications just remember that it is not a telephone or DJ microphone.

Not saying this to be mean, but you're retired and you're still letting this city screw with your head.
You're retired. Enjoy it. Your son chose to come on this job, and he must have known what to expect based on your experience. I've been on almost 30 (1 more month to retire) and promotions and everything else to do with this dept. haven't changed. You fought your battles, he's got to fight his now.
You did your time. Enjoy retirement. You moved your body, but your mind is still stuck here. I wish you great health and a long, happy retirement. You earned it, now claim it.
I see one guy who shoulda been locked up in the shakespeare tow scams.... u got lucky pal.

Hey dumbshit if you think rank order number 400 is too far down the list consider that the first class off the new list will include 30% meritorious promotee's who spell shit with two "t's". For your information 4500 patrolman typically take the sergeants test, therefore a person who is 400 is in the top 8%. Put that in your 001st District Starbucks caramel machiotto and smoke it! No wonder you still haven't been promoted, goof. And let's not forget two famous #1 on the list promotee's Jan Robards Dillon an Ritchie Brezcezk! Both a credit to the Department!
5/09/2014 09:35:00 AM
Ha! Shows what you know. You don't smoke a caramel machiotto. You drink it.
That list officially concluded all the Exempt & Capt. Kids. Now let's start the new 1.
DSS Grievance Award
Sergeants,
Arbitrator Roumell issued his award in our second DSS grievance. He ruled in favor of the Department on this one. Combined with his earlier ruling on the DSS issue and the case that was presented at hearing, we believed that we had a winner. Unfortunately, Roumell relied heavily on the arbitration award of Arbitrator Ed Benn in the Lieutenant's grievance over the Watch Commander issue. He reasoned that the re-organization of the department, with the new position of Watch Operations Lieutenant was enough for the Department to proceed with the new special orders. Our attorney, Tom Pleines wrote,
"The Arbitrator relies on Benn's award for the proposition that in order to determine whether you are entitled to Out of Grade pay, the focus is not on what duties you are performing. The focus is on what the higher ranked officer is doing.
The duties of the DSS were changed with the last reorganization however and even though the Dept shifted the authority to supervise from the DSS to the WOL that change is sufficient to distinguish the WOL's duties from the DSS."
We're extremely disappointed in the decision, but we have to move forward in our jobs under the new directives. The entire award is attached.
Eighty-five new sergeants begin training at the academy on Monday. This promotion will bring our numbers to just under 1190, our budgeted allotment. The promotions are a positive move after we requested additional manpower from Superintendent McCarthy. We look forward to the newest members of the Association to hit the street just in time for summer.
Sgt. James Ade
Police Benevolent & Protective Association
I recognize a few names on this list and they conjure up the opposite image of best and brightest.
I think this list has officially scraped the bottom of the barrel.
I see the ultimate suck ass, TQ from 008, made it.
No doubt a reward for fetching Shortshanks and Maggie's milk, coffee, lunch etc. and hauling their asses all over creation.
This guy is extremely full of himself and will step on your head to raise himself up.
As far as I remember, the Dept is allowed to use 30% for merit. Why is anyone pretending that merit actually means merit. We know what it really means. Everyone acts all shocked when someone gets promoted who doesn't deserve it. That is why they have 30%. If it was 100%, almost everyone who got promoted would be horrible. And we all see every once in a while a good copper getting promoted meritoriously, but don't get fooled. Even some good coppers have phone calls or family members in high places. Until our awesome union does something about how merit picks are made, just accept the fact that 30% of every Sgt class is going to be clout babies.
There might be an open spot if the detective from area north who's been announcing for several months that he'd turn it down if they got to him actually DOES turn it down.
We're waiting Bob! Maybe just let us know via an email to unit 630........or are you too tired?
Heard that J. L. Gots a big....... Nose!
Ive known John Graham for a long time. In 007 he taught me how to be the police. In gangs, he was always workin. Hes been shot and works his ass off in the D unit. He the type of sgt your gonna want when shit goes bad. Good luck
What's going on in 002??? Rumor mill is buzzing like a bee on crack!
I hear one more big class and then they start from new list!
When u get an opportunity go to Wikipedia and look up ernst and young . They have been sued al over the world and are based out of England . Scroll down to criticisms and look up ol lawsuits . That says it all !!
It's true they're playing with numbers from the new sgt. test. Too many m/2's passed legitimately. I already have Terry Ekl on retainer pro bono and we are going to sue the shit out of this city and department. Gonna be a big payday.
5/09/2014 12:18:00 PM
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yawwwwnnnn... I'm sure the city is terrified. Terry ekl pro bono???? Hahahahahaha... Yeah ok, not a chance he's passing up the chance at. City payout. Also, when u have someone on retainer you pay them for being on retainer... U put they ekl on retainer?? Wow, I guess u got a lot to worry about... Stroke
One of them superstars drove Randy Rencher to red line after he escaped from cook county
Whaaa....whaaa....I took the new test and I want to be a sergeant, if you don't promote me I'm holding my breath 'till you do.
As for merit, yes it sucks!
All we have to do is tell the FOP to give what ever it takes in order to get the hall to give it up. Who's in???
To all my hard working brothers and sisters in blue. Continue to be professional and do your job. Do not allow some jerk off Sergeant ruin your time at work. We officers have our second roll call every day to discuss what really matters. Take that time to formulate a plan to back each other and not allow some miserable stroke to put a damper on your day. KUDOS to the 11th district Commander for taking notice and correcting it.
It's all to run the Department on the cheap. Why pay Captain's pay and PENSION when Rahm can have a Sergeant do the same work.

5/09/2014 02:06:00 PM
If we're running the dept 'on the cheap', why are Leo and Berscott getting deputy Chief pay for being district commanders?
What number are they at on the list?
Great list. They promoted a current Sgt to Sgt, someone who didn't take the first part of the test and a deceased person.
Back the Titanic up Captain Smith. We can ram that iceberg one more time!
10g took Minn tonight. I'll bet the Hawks then.
That list officially concluded all the Exempt & Capt. Kids. Now let's start the new 1.

Great idea. Lets move on to the new list that contains the exempt and captains kids that weren't eligigle or on the job long enough to take the old test

You said it all in your short statement to the retired guy in Fl..
We did our time and seen nothing changes. I am retired and you will also be soon. It took time not being the police, but after we do 30 plus years, enough. Our bosies are shot from the job. We ate like shit, worked shit hours, and the stress factor took out many a copper during and after retirement.
Live to 100 brother. You made it. No more stress and you don't have to worry about a blue or white shirt throeing you under the bus.
I have the views as you to the Fl guy. Sir, let the kid fend for himself. Losing battle fighting this shit unless.....a Prentiss Marchall was still around for the people who cannot pass a test.
Funny someone mentioned Sgt AZ from 011. He will be made a Lt. on the next order soon.

I still see a few "double merit " promotees on the list. It's hard to feel happy for them.
I've never seen the city promote more than 300 po's from the 1998 or 2002 list but on this 2006 list they are at almost 400. There still rumors of one more class being made from this list. This means that's it will be at least 1 year before first class from new list. This is total BS and unfair.
Not true:
1998 test they Promoted 565
2002 test they promoted 382
Prior to 1998 if you scored in the top 500 you were assured to be made.
why spend 10million dollars to promote 350 people off of a list of 6000.
Word is there going up to 500 which would make u top 10% then it's done?
I hope you are correct then I will just make it, I am a few under 500.
I agree with a lot of these comments but let me say once again THIS IS A CITY JOB!! i have over 20 on never worked anything but a beat car and il bet i have more quality arrest than %80 of this city I have been on the medical maybe % times in my career. My point is I'm not a dog I don't let this nonsense get to me. I am grateful to have a high paying job with good benefits. I am only concerned about my pension and healthcare. I think its great your trying to advance in your career but you should of knew what you were getting into when you took this job take the bad with the good. theres always the private sector ask your collie graduate friends how that is working out for them.

Hey, Buts, Maroon & Orange never die! A fine Br. Rice Lad made it.

Congrats Rosezita Jones from your favorite youth detective!
if department used all 30% of merit spots that means out of 85, 20 are merit. Merit is determined after class size off list is determined. 65 off list, 30% of 65 is approx. 20.

Hey 12:33, you'll probably be the first to put in your lawsuit standing behind Jesse Jackass and Al "Where's the cameras" Sharpton saying, "The test was too hard!" Maybe next time you take the test the correct answer will be in all caps so you know the right answer. Or should we just hand out the promotions to the likes of people who have never heard the word "No" before and are given everything? Oh, wait...that's the meritorious people!
I feel sorry for whoever gets stuck with merit pick MFO. Get some earplugs so you don't have to listen to this all knowing preacher.

that was a funny story: most wanted man in Chicago gets a ride from Chicago cops hours after they leave roll call with a photo of the wanted man. They had in the back of the car!! That officer would have been a hero and gotten a meritorious promotion if she had kept the car doors locked and just drove back to 003 with Rencher inside. Instead, they give him a police report and drive him to the train! Ahhhh the warm nice fuzzy police!!
Now she's going to be a sergeant?? Absolutely crazy.
just for fun here's the randy story for you youngins':
