"Merit" Promotion Undone?

What the heck is this?

One of the "deserving" has been declared "undeserving?"

As someone else said, this would be a first.

"best qualified" and "brightest" our asses.

This would be the smartest/best thing to happen to police department in a long time. This would help morale! Meritorious bosses are all the most incompetent people on the department. We all have seen so many mentals.. Yes mentals get promoted that make up laws rules and regulations that don't exist. All these meritorious bosses are ticking time bombs waiting to go off and leave the city holding the bill for there incompetence.

007 Sgt C.H. Failed part 1 and the 5th floor gave a big middle finger to everyone who studies and takes time away from their families to do good on a promotional exam and promoted him anyway because that's Garry's buddy/driver. Only problem is that's not legal. Garry thought he was above the law.

I don't know if this would be the first. Remember Capt. E. O-K? She was a captain who had prayer sessions with crack whore prisoners along with a myriad of other totally stupid actions and decisions. She was dumped from captain back to lieutenant. Was a goof from day one on the job. Problem was she was book smart. Not a stitch of common sense which finally caught up with her. And no consequences for the goof who put her in for captain!

Sure the department has pulled merit promotions away in the past on a few merit promotions. Usually because they have some type of open cr, usually police brutality cr's.

Remember when the department wanted all of the Captains to have 4 years of college so they promoted the political hacks to Captain first and some promised to get the education within 4 years (most had some college under the belt). The city said great and for the next 4 years the political hacks were assigned as and paid Captains. Someone finally said "Hey send us your transcripts" and Captain N.H. Said there "Ain any" and was demoted back to Lt. Another one that was assigned to. 008 retired as a Captain with the Captains pension. Remember, "Chicago ain't ready for reform"

OT - the Chris Hayes piece was well done, no? So, is he spot on and laser accurate about how he reported this, but everything else he reports is slanted and biased? That doesn't really make much sense, does it? For him especially I'm thinking.

Just throwin it out there....glad to see some visibility to the issue regardless of who covers it. Being partisan is admirable to some extent, but being stubbornly partisan is just inefficient and lazy. There is good and bad on both sides.

Speaking of merit, how about that 010 2nd watch merit sgt. Chauffeuring around a high command gold star, topping off his gas tank, washing his chariot, making a fresh pot of Columbian making sure the boss is hydrated, screening incoming calls and doing inside crime fighting paperwork shuffling does not rise to level of merit. You challenged your detractors on a previous post, so let the truth be told.

Contrast your inside job to those police officers doing police work in the field getting shot, shot at, locking up law breakers, getting those crime guns off the street into ERPS for future props in some press conference, getting sued for doing society’s dirty work even though you have done nothing wrong, constantly being accused of things you haven’t done in court and while doing your lawful duties/obligations, working weekends, getting denied time due, coming in contact with a segment of the public who are human incubators of infectious diseases, dealing with the states attorney’s office seeking prosecutorial justice, no more summer weekends, just to name a few. This is what real police deserving merit face on an everyday basis.

As opposed to chipped nails, fax machine crises, co-worker office gossip, bad hair days and office meltdowns when technology fails. Interestingly, people who made it on their own spend midnights in some single digit district. Your assignment “pick” was known before any other candidates were given an opportunity to give the commander their personal selling points and more importantly, their doing police work qualifications.

EPA Employees Told to Stop Pooping in the Hallway

Environmental Protection Agency workers have done some odd things recently.

Contractors built secret man caves in an EPA warehouse, an employee pretended to work for the CIA to get unlimited vacations and one worker even spent most of his time on the clock looking at pornography.

It appears, however, that a regional office has reached a new low: Management for Region 8 in Denver, Colo., wrote an email earlier this year to all staff in the area pleading with them to stop inappropriate bathroom behavior, including defecating in the hallway.

In the email, obtained by Government Executive, Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor mentioned “several incidents” in the building, including clogging the toilets with paper towels and “an individual placing feces in the hallway” outside the restroom.

Confounded by what to make of this occurrence, EPA management “consulted” with workplace violence “national expert” John Nicoletti, who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk. He added the behavior was “very dangerous” and the individuals responsible would “probably escalate” their actions....

Sgt test results are done and are ready to be mailed. Rumor in HQ is that HR wont release results without McGoofy's approval. First deputy wont give OK. Look for results to be released mcgoofys first week off medical so he can tell us again how he gave this test. He may not be off medical until august/september so you test takers will just have to wait. If no chest pain results would have been sent 2-3 weeks ago. City that works.

This happened before when the dept found out the officer did not have all the education needed to qualify for the promotion. This was under ladners tenure--go figure. Not sure about the recent merit promotion. Mistakes of this nature should not happen and if they do someone should be held accountable. What an embarsement for both the officer and the department.

At the time when the captain in 008 was promoted, you had a grace period to complete your educational requirements. When that deadline came, he retired at Lt. pay, as he did not have time in rank for a captain's pension.

The rank of "Captain S.E.S." CAN BE DUMPED. (SES means senior executive service)

They are appointed.

The last REAL Captain class was July of 1990 off the last "real" (yeah right) Captain's test.

All the old Captains are long retired or dead and drinking whiskey with the dead corrupt politicians.

These NEW Captains can be dumped after going though a hearing process however it's a difficult thing to do after their 6 month "probation period".

I believe the wacko female captain E.O. was still in her first 6 months. She now lives at home with her 47 cats and talks to them about religion.

CITY HALL — Ald. Edward Burke proposed renaming several city sites for Jane Byrne, the first and only woman to serve as Chicago mayor.

The 14th Ward alderman rose toward the end of Wednesday's City Council meeting to propose renaming the plazas around Buckingham Fountain and the Water Tower for Byrne, as well as the international terminal at O'Hare Airport and the Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier.

Burke made clear he was not trying to name them all for Byrne, but rather labeled them "a number of suggestions." He said he would leave the final decision up to his colleagues in the City Council, but added that he wanted to find "a suitable commemoration" for the former mayor, who served in office from 1979 to 1983.

Burke said on the council floor he wanted to "recognize the contributions of the one and only female mayor of Chicago."

Byrne, now 81, has been reported to be in failing health, and Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed, who served as Byrne's press secretary for six months, has led a recent push to have her recognized

McCarthy promoted a friend who couldn't pass part 1 over hundreds of people who sacrificed and studied their asses off. Cleve was submitted by an exempt (Jon Johnson) he had never even worked for. If you thought McCarthy was an ass, you're right. If you thought he was an ass who doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself and his friends, you're more right. When he's not busy making up crime statistics, he's fucking over the working copper for his friends. Zero ethics. He should run for alderman.

I agree with fellow poster info(6/26/2014 06:44:00 PM) that former mayor, Jane Byrne certainly deserves some sort of city site commemoration.
I sort of like the idea of naming Wolf Point on behalf of Mayor Jane Byrne. The 'suggested' name was called, "Byrne's Bend."
How appropriate. Lady Jane could personally send a Wendella boat to transport shortshanks and tell him to 'Bend' over and kiss her ass!

Study for and take all tests! I know the city and dept. suck but if you don't try you're guaranteed not to be promoted. I, too, was a veteran and had a BS degree (hold the jokes, I've heard 'em) before joining CPD. Worked patrol, in uniform in beat cars for 17 years. Got screwed over on numerous promotional exams before finally making sergeant. Spent the next 12 years on first watch, in uniform in a district. It was worth it, no regrets. Good luck, and I mean that with all sincerity.

THANK YOU for this post! I've been saying this for years that this is how things are done under Gary's reign. He strong-arms an exempt and tells them their expendable unless they submit a merit he wants. If they've already chosen their pick then he changes the rules and gives them 2 picks. But calling him an ass is disrespectful to asses everywhere.

McCarthy promoted a friend who couldn't pass part 1 over hundreds of people who sacrificed and studied their asses off. Cleve was submitted by an exempt (Jon Johnson) he had never even worked for. If you thought McCarthy was an ass, you're right. If you thought he was an ass who doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself and his friends, you're more right. When he's not busy making up crime statistics, he's fucking over the working copper for his friends. Zero ethics. He should run for alderman.

SCC, there have been several huge mistakes and recalls from HR in the past few months. What's really going on there? I hear theres a new person in charge that doesn't even know anything about CPD or HR! I think the titanic is imploding from within and there's gonna be a big sinkhole at 35th.

Sgt test results are done and are ready to be mailed. Rumor in HQ is that HR wont release results without McGoofy's approval. First deputy wont give OK. Look for results to be released mcgoofys first week off medical so he can tell us again how he gave this test. He may not be off medical until august/september so you test takers will just have to wait. If no chest pain results would have been sent 2-3 weeks ago. City that works.

The issue isn't whether the superintendent tried to sneak one in, we all know what he's about. But how did the copper not stop it, he definitely knew he failed part one.
What a POS

As said by the XO of 011 after he "made" captain at the age of 42, " the promotion process of the Chicago police department is the most legitimate process I've ever seen, there is no way to compromise this process".......as he said this I just about fell out of my chair. Good luck in 011, he yours now.........

I worked with "Sgt" C.H. in 006 back in 1995. Hard working officer. Did dump stuff as we all do when we are new and young. He almost got indicted while working tact in 006.
Dodged a bullet with the help Terry (yes su boss) Hilliard.
Hilliard called off the dogs from IAD & FBI and made C.H. his driver.
C.H. been driving since.
Too bad he got put in this situation but he had to have help from people above him.
It has happened many times before.

007 Sgt C.H. Failed part 1 and the 5th floor gave a big middle finger to everyone who studies and takes time away from their families to do good on a promotional exam and promoted him anyway because that's Garry's buddy/driver. Only problem is that's not legal. Garry thought he was above the law.

6/26/2014 07:14:00 AM

Something doesn't sound right, if this guy failed part one then he wouldn't even be allowed to take part two. In other words, he wouldn't even be eligible to be considered for merit. Something smells.


6/27/2014 12:20:00 AM

You didn't have to take part two of the 2006 test. The taking part two rule was enacted for the first time with the 2014 test.

ssc this one of the reasons why i no longer take a promotional,test yes im a worker iraq war veteran, and i have a masters degree, but the deck is stacked against me and anybody else who does not have clout, if you study hard you must first worry that they dont play around with your test scores, then if you past you go before the oral board (that where the phones are taken). they should let the state police administor the test, 11th n 19th wards rule it all.

___________________

You have a Master's Degree and you feel the need to let everyone know about it; and, you still can't spell, use capital letters, use punctuation properly, or use proper sentence structure. You feel you are more qualified than anyone else because of your status as a veteran and your Master's Degree.

You must have obtained it from one of the diploma mills while on the job.

Color me impressed.

P.S. There is no oral board if you make it off the list. If you make it meritorious, there is an interview with the Superintendent.

I know of one particular Sgt. in 010 who just got promoted and definitely does not deserve to hold the rank. He has no clue how to lead a team or at the bare minimum pretend to be a some what decent manager. I heard this guy used to be the one of the biggest scammer when he was a blue shirt and now acts like A-hole. But what do you expect with merit promotions.

State Police administer the test-are you serious? You really think thats a totally legitimate organization? ISP, SOS Police etc?
Some good guys, dedicated guys but a couple of the most politically influenced Departments in the State!

If you study hard, pay for bernstain and other support classes, write tickets, arrest bad guys, etc. and do what the company expects of you, your promotion is guaranteed (to be given to someone else).

Remember when the department wanted all of the Captains to have 4 years of college so they promoted the political hacks to Captain first and some promised to get the education within 4 years (most had some college under the belt). The city said great and for the next 4 years the political hacks were assigned as and paid Captains. Someone finally said "Hey send us your transcripts" and Captain N.H. Said there "Ain any" and was demoted back to Lt. Another one that was assigned to. 008 retired as a Captain with the Captains pension. Remember, "Chicago ain't ready for reform"

Im sick of this college requirement the best bosses had no college nothing is more demoralizing no matter how hard you work or how much potential you will never be promoted.

Part one was an open book test if anyone failed to pass they should be fired from the police department as incompetent or just plain to stupid to be a police officer.

Scc, Yes the results are done. However, it is not a rumor that the first couple of hundred people on the list are a majority of white male. The Sup and mayors office isn't happy about it. With an election year coming up and a bunch of articles about minority promotion with the cfd and Cpd watch for another class or two this year off old Sgt s list before releasing new results.

At the time when the captain in 008 was promoted, you had a grace period to complete your educational requirements. When that deadline came, he retired at Lt. pay, as he did not have time in rank for a captain's pension.

No, Don retired at well above Lt's pay as his pension is tille based on the best 16 quarters of his last 40 quraters and the time at Captain's pay counts.

They did not have to promise anything. It was a mandate and thoroughly explained by a department notice in 1999.
