Corruption in the Making
Remember when the Supernintendo made his driver a sergeant? He was following in the footsteps of previous supernintendos who promoted their lackeys and lickspittles to lucrative spots as payback (payoff?) for long hours, missed time at home, and keeping their mouths shut about who the supernintendo was visiting and at what hours.
Of course, after this particular driver was promoted, it was revealed that he hadn't even taken the test, and was therefore ineligible and eventually unpromoted.
Everyone knows there are a couple of people who have slipped through the cracks and gotten promoted without taking or passing the test. So this stunt of Rahm's doesn't surprise us in the least:
Of course, after this particular driver was promoted, it was revealed that he hadn't even taken the test, and was therefore ineligible and eventually unpromoted.
Everyone knows there are a couple of people who have slipped through the cracks and gotten promoted without taking or passing the test. So this stunt of Rahm's doesn't surprise us in the least:
- The city of Chicago denied the rank-and-file police union’s Freedom of Information Act request asking for the names of officers who applied to be sergeants. Now, the union is asking the Cook County Circuit Court to overturn the city’s denial.
On Sept. 29, the Fraternal Order of Police filed a FOIA request with the city asking for “the rank order list of Chicago Police Officers who took the most recent promotional examination for promotion to the rank of Sergeant,” according to a lawsuit filed by the union Tuesday.
On Oct. 6, the city denied the request, contending the records sought are exempt from FOIA disclosure because they invade the applicants’ personal privacy, according to a letter attached to the lawsuit as evidence.
The release of applicants’ names could also “hinder the City’s ability to attract qualified candidates,” the city wrote. “Additionally, individuals may be reluctant to apply for positions with the City of Chicago if a third party can access lists of applicants of job candidates.”
A spokesman for the city’s Law Department did not respond to request for comment Wednesday evening.
The union is asking the court to overturn the city’s denial and compensate it for court and attorney fees.
The FOP has always had a copy of the results to ensure that the city was adhering to their 20-or-30% meri-clout-orious promotions and taking the rest in rank order. Without this check, you can bet that the drivers and other connected fools would be the rule instead of the exception. The city's claim that this invades the applicants' privacy is ludicrous as the FOP has everyone's address for newsletters and elections. Same with the "hindering" - we already work for the City and a 9.5 fingered midget - we're just applying for a different spot within the organization.
Rahm is playing stupid games.

They weren't worried about privacy when the released the lists of those who are on the 3% list or other CR lists.
Down the rabbit hole to wonderland. This City is insane.
so is this just a dog and pony show for the FOP to make everyone feel that the union won -- that they done something for the rank and file?
Like Good cop -- Bad cop.
The union should have just pretended to be a shit head wanting to know which racist cops are going to get promoted first. The city would have given them the list a long time ago
They released our names for the c.r.'s, they released our names pertaining to our salary, but not this huh?
I'll just call the rainbow push coalition and ask them where I'm at on the list.
Actually, I don't want Dean Sr. and Jr. to have my ranking. I don't trust them. Sorry. I trust the city more.
This is how the smartest municipal CEO ever and the stupidintendent who fancies himself to be a law enforcement paragon and second coming of Sir Robert Peel are going to fix The Police since The Police are what's "wrong" with Chicago...
Never you mind all the stuff your lying eyes are showing you.
Yet some more "gonna stick it in the cops ear" from the maniacal little shit-ass.
Just like all the other undersized madmen with oversized animus who eventually lose their grasp on reality.
And the reason for bucking precedent (FOP getting the list from the city) at THIS point in time is?
"Paging Dr. Angelo..."
Your decision to "play nice" with Rahm the maniac has yielded what positive results for the membership?
When a Devil seeks to embrace you, hold on tight and bite his fucking nose off...
What needs to be done next is to have the lines drawn and parties linked to the Secret Study Groups.
For those of you whose first promotional test was this Sergeant's Test: pay close attention and you'll see how many morons from the same teams, circles, clubs, etcetera did exceptionally well on the test and how close they are in rank order once classes are announced. You'll also likely see husband/wife duos and coppers with the same last names score very well and within a class or two of one another.
Then, connect the dots to see the "degrees of separation" these clowns have from gold star Bossholes that were either "Subject Matter Experts" or friends, coworkers, associates, classmates or fuckbuddies of said "experts".
The stastistical anomalies you'll witness regarding this phenomenon only common in CPD promotional testing break all rules and laws of probability.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - mandatory polygraph for everyone up for promotion. And immediate disqualification for deception regarding having any 'special help' with test material and/or content. What say you, FOP? Since the City refuses to define 'merit', perhaps work this language into the next contract? Just be sure it reads the candidates up for promotion WILL be put on the Lie Box, not CAN be...
Corruption in the making? Ha, hardly! More like corruption in perpetuity.
Lots of merit police in area central detective unit......who are they and what did they do to be merit detective?
So releasing coppers names with 10 CR's is not invading their privacy. That sounds like we're getting stuck in the ear again huh.
More like which politician applied for them to be a Sgt. There's only so many politicians that have the power to make a Sgt. Some politicians have a back log of "applicants".
Scc! Clout is clout! Let it be! If u got it u got it!
Some guys on city jobs don't know how lucky they are...other towns pay $5/day...

Count your blessings...
But wait ..give out officers discipline records to the public ..use pension to fund your pet projects or loan to "Building" developers. The city and the department. .it's like divorce court..
“hinder the City’s ability to attract qualified candidates,”
Use the same language and apply it to the CR# FOIA requests. A court battle the city abandoned, even after an acknowledgement that they were going to win.
I hate this city, meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
"Rahm is playing stupid games"
No he's not!!! Rahm loves us. Why else would he be giving us OUR retro pay on the first year?
I could have sworn that the FOP negotiated away their rights to file for any FOIA against the city in the contract!?
Ha Ha Rahm, you didn't get everything!
Why the fuck would you vote yes on this contract and reward this cocksucker.
Vote No.
Do not help him before the election.
Privacy? What a joke. The city has destroyed a police boss and other officers by ratting out there personal info to the media and any attorney with a foia. The info legal and news affairs and corp counsel has released includes
Discipline history
Home Address
Phone number
And just about any info that's requested.
Privacy went out the Window with CPD. They will throw you under the bus.
city is loaded with fake experts
Cant wait for a real crises to see the flush Citizens should be worried very worried
Hindering? Hinder my left nut.
No keeses for Rahm.
Off Topic...
Another pension threat:
http://www.illinoispolicy.org/federal-judge-pensions-not-as-protected-as-you-think/
Rahm is playing stupid games, just like the rest of the socialist democrats played games and will continue to play games, all costing taxpayer dollars that they don't care about burning needlessly.
But we either voted for them, or failed to vote, thus allowing them to maintain power.
They deny this, but they'll give officers names with CR #'s, sustained or exonerated, makes no difference, to the press???
Corruption in the making? Corruption was created, defined and skillfully crafted in this shit hole city. The ancient Roman rulers would be proud.
Final list has NOT been finished......everyone's final position should drop considering the number of people who have been already promoted from the previous test and scored under 300 on this test. By not making the list accessible, the city can INSERT the chosen ones and give them the previous test takers score and leave your number alone. An easy way to get merit picks "made".
like they actually studied instead of sucked their way to the top.
Or they can use the former 011 tact team move and get the test, study the test, and all receive LEGIIT promotions.
Invade our privacy??? That's a joke. They've released all the names of people with unfounded and not-sustained CR numbers. You can go to some city website and look up how much money we make, because we are "public employees".
BS on the city's answer.
"Chicago ain't ready for reform."
You remember the city wanted to do away with even an entrance test? How can you hire a cop/det/sgt who can barely read, especially nowadays?
I haven't looked it up yet but someone told me they are still giving him Sergeants pay.
Why isn't FOP suing CPD for violating the contract each time CPD discloses CR files that are more than 7 years old in response to FOIA requests and litigation? That's my question.
I also voted no on the contract.
And this is news why?
But it's okay to release our disaplinary records. Not that doing so would discourage any future applicants or invade personal privacy
My guy at HQ assures me that all cush spots & promotions are awarded on the up & up.
I guess it never ends, the cronyism, nepotism and corruption. Quinn, self proclaimed Mr. Clean, also has engaged in this. Maybe it is just too much for the Illinois political class to be open and honest about government, public service and fairness for all. The democrats in this state are always talking about fairness and people paying their fair share, but I guess it only applies to them and their friends and families.
but the city will give the press every cr number maybe the press could ask the city and then print all the phoney promotions

Pension Legislation Update
June 10, 2014
According to the Chicago Tribune, Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law a pension measure backed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel that would cut benefits and raise the retirement age for workers in two of the city’s pension funds.
June 9, 2014 was the deadline for Quinn to act on the legislation, which he had been mulling over since lawmakers sent it to him in April. The bill presented a bit of a political quandary for the re-election-seeking Quinn. That’s because it requires the city to make higher yearly pension contributions, which Emanuel has said he would seek to pay for through a property tax increase. Quinn has campaigned on reducing the property tax burden.
Quinn received cover in the form of a separate bill he signed last week that will allow the city to raise 911 fees on land lines and cell phones by up to $1.40 a month, to $3.90. If the City Council increases the fee by the full amount, it would generate an estimated $50 million a year – which could put off the need for a property tax increase until after next year’s city elections.
That is the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard. The lawyer that put that on the table should have been red faced with shame, but I am sure they weren't.
You never have to wonder why people hate politicians and lawyers. The reasons are obvious when you work with them.
This is just a political stunt to con the blue shirts into thinking the FOP isn't actually in bed with Emanuel.
Sorry Angelo, your fake lawsuit filed in collusion with Emanuel to throw intelligent coppers off your scent is just another waste of OUR dues.
Any other false setups you make to appear as though you're on OUR side against this shithead Emanuel will be seen as simply that, setup scams that have no effect on Emanuel where it counts on our behalf.
Rather, your scams do nothing but once again hurt coppers, regardless of who or how.
Go fuck yourself Angelo, and SEND OUR FAILED CONTRACT TO THE ARBITER AND REMOVE ALL PENSION LANGUAGE!!!!!
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Nothing to see here.... move along.
Transparency my ass!!
I bought the extra large bag of popcorn as I watch how this one plays out...
The superintendent's "former" driver C.H. landed good if not great,after being demoted from sgt,went rite to the city's corp counsel which is mon/friday and a take home car.All others stay in your beat cars..
So sick of hearing about this. The clouted connected bullshit on this is never going to end.
At least FOP made an effort to acquire the list.
It's been perplexing for years why the FOP hasn't demanded the Dept and the City to post a rank order list of the results for all promotional tests. I hope this is a start to finally keep lackeys to a minimum.
Only once do I recall FOP recommend through Contract bargaining to lower Merit Detectives to16%, even after the City was allowed to raise Merit Sergeants from 20% to 30%.
I don't know what percentage of the Bargaining Membership thinks this system is any bit fair to all those who actually study and prep for these exams.
Many "nice people" have been promoted by Merit even 2 and 3 times, but even more, far better prepared, competent and capable have been waiting years for a fair promotion, only having to take another 2 part exam 5 years later.
Picking from the bottom of the list has no merit,
and any Superintendant or Exempt sponsor that allows this is without any integrity or self worth.
Lets Stop bargaining for new cars and get Fair Promotions back on the table.
What else would you expect from a guy who wants to celebrate the deaths of 300 Chicagoans. That's Mayor Fire Failure.
Where's John Northen when you need him ?!?!
SCC
The union should have a copy as well as every po who took the test so you can see where you rank up against your peers.
They should file suit on behalf of the officers. Additionally each officers should file suit as well on their own behalf. Its a very inexpensive suit for an officer because there is no value or dollar amount. It's just a piece of paper.
Now if the pd has something to hide then obviously it will be drawn out and cost some dough..
The City, The County, and The State.
all run on "it's not what you know …… it's who you blow.
granted it should be a fair and level playing field for all applicants.

THEY ALREADY DO !
The FOP has every name of who passed the sergeant and detective exams.
They have had that for the past 15 plus years.
What the FOP is asking for is the names of just the people who REALLY took the exam to make sure the city is not scamming to promote some clout scum-bag with 2 years on the job who never even took the test.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - mandatory polygraph for everyone up for promotion.

Sounds like a good idea but NEVER would hold up in court.
The "lie-box" is just "Hocus-pocus" bullshit technology from the early 1900's

Get your facts straight before you start spouting off. There are exemptions under FOIA that preclude the CPD from releasing personal information to the public. Go read the FOIA before you talk your gibberish on SCC.
Nothing but a Potempkin Village built up for Dean Angelo's benefit..The ballots will counted on October 16th. Got to make it look like he isn't Rahm's Bitch for those last minute undecided voters. Too much of a last minute coincidence.
They gave up the names of good officers with cr. Numbers
Remember all public sector tests are validated before being administered. What’s this concept of Test Validation? Why a copy of the test and the answer key are forwarded to the personnel division and top command positions to adequately assess that this test accurately reflects the duties and responsibilities of the position being tested. Once this test is reviewed and then “validated”, it is then administered after passing this critical review. Weren’t three people in Jimmy Mauer’s office in the top five on a Sgt’s test in the 90’s. Names associated with this test include Steve Gorgeous, Chris Kennedy and some other no name guy. Statistical anomaly? Perhaps. Good test taking and mastery of the study materials most likely explain their rocket ship ascension into the highest ranking positions in this department. Remember, a copy of the actual test was forwarded with the strictest integrity safeguards in place prior to this test being administered. Maybe, their study group had the right combination of materials to review. Drink the Kool-Aide knowing everything is on the up and up legit.
Has anyone noticed how Ch 7 finishes thier reporting of serious crime? More often than not, the report ends in "Police were only able to provide a vague description of the offender ." We know why, but it's so annoying . Doesn't the public have a right to have the descriptions , vague or not, so as to be better equipped to recognize a possible threat when they see it. These are sexual assaults, home invasions , batteries , robberies, etc. Enough with political correctness. Maddening!
What if the second part of these promotional exams was 500 multiple choice questions and scored prior to leaving the test site. The scantron sheet would be scanned in your presence and a numerical score would be given right then and there. No wait and more efficiency leading to cost savings. Questions right out of the material not open for interpretation by testing experts. Wasn’t this the case in the late 1980’s on a detective’s test and all the personnel division manipulation and department trickery was minimized. Written tests are administered and are subject to lots of interpretation with “the most correct answer” right and wrong analysis and a wide range of subjective correct answers. Five hundred questions with five possible answers would create separate bands with those who know, those who know a little and those who are clueless given the number of combinations of individual answers.
Happens every time there is a Sgt test. The FOP formally asks for the list and the city formally denies the request. The FOP then goes to court and a judge orders the city to give up the list. Not sure why the city does this, maybe to protect themselves from some kind of lawsuit? But happens with every test for sgt. Ask any former or current FOP officer.
Napolean and McNutty have vowed transparency repeatedly.
They're as transparent as mud and loathe people questioning them and digging for straight answers.
Why wasn't Rahm this concerned when when the anal-whore media was dropping FOI requests (with the not so hidden hand guidance of Rahm/Corp. Counsel) to PUBLICLY OUT, IDENTIFY and TARNISH the names of good Policemen whose only real offense is rubbing against lying savages who play the disciplinary and complaint process to dirty up Policemen, falsely cause them to be dragged through the disciplinary system in order to make them cease being proactive and aggressive?
So... Rahm and McTitsOnABull want to have it both ways?
Or is this a play to somehow save Dean Angelo's burning bacon?
Who fucking knows at this point?
Maybe the "preliminary yes votes are leading by some numerically impossible amount" people have a hand in this nonsense.
As awful as Quinn is, a vote for Rauner is a vote for the same evil club that Rahm and Madigan belong. Rauner and Emanuel will push to blow off and destroy the Cities pension obligation. It hurts to say vote for Quinn, but with Rauner in Springfield,Asshole in City Hall and Satan in the White House the corruption will continue. Every VOTE counts,please don't blow it off.
They did same to C.F.D. A few years ago.
ssc as usual the idiots from the 19th ward get promoted again also the 11th ward sucks too.
When he campaigned for mayor, Rahm Emanuel promised that his government would be transparent and accountable.
I guess that s--t is over now that Karen Lewis is out.
Rahm has been playing games with peoples lives and money with shady, back room, pay to play deals, ever since he got into Office!
Feds are you watching?
Come on look at the shit bosses we have. They are cowards.
The only way to keep this from happening, and it will happen again and again no matter who is mayor, is to have these exams codified in city ordinance. The FOP should garner support for this. But, you would face racial discrimination from the Black and Hispanic alderman who still believe in quotas. I don't care what someone says prior to their ascending to power, once they get their they like that power and control.
Glad that I am retired. My sympathies go to all of those still rolling on the streets each night. It seems the public is looking for any excuse ( with the support of the liberals and the leftists), to crucify a police officer, especially if they shoot an unarmed black man. Maybe we should take some of these leftists and let them get their ass kicked by an unarmed person and see if they want to shoot and live to go home .

Nobody said crane operator.
IFIYGD,
In a perfect world - or even a semi-legitimate organization - which the CPD is NOT, this would be mandatory. Imagine if you will, they made your idea retroactive. 75-80% of this department would be demoted, many several ranks over. I learned very early on that this job is as legit as global warming, $3 bills and professional wrestling. Incompetence in the upper management of this place is too far entrenched to ever hope for any type of meaningful recovery and sense of legitimacy on this job. Do your time and get out in one piece with your health and sanity, and hopefully a pension.
Also file lawsuit to take the pension away from the city. FOP needs to pry control away from city. The city has shown nothing but criminal neglect and mismanagement regarding the pension fund.
Put current funds and future funds with Northern Trust. Our 9% and city matching funds go in. Northern Trust managed funds and contribution amounts determined by actuarial report not bs tea leave reading done in 11th ward office.
and then there are the fraud classes run by a Sgt in area North. haven't heard of anyone scoring high in this study group.

not very smart to go and serve a warrant
without proper man power .
3. upon serving the warrant a plan should have been in place since they knew offender might have been at location.
hopefully next time they will used better judgement

The city should give the fop the rank order list, no questions asked before it became a freedom of information request. But now it has turned into a freedom of information request. If the city gives that to the fop via freedom of information then they have to give the rank order list to everyone that asks. And it will be posted all over the internet. Quite frankly the rank order list shouldnt be out there for public consumption. This is a mess because city wouldnt do what is right from the beginning.

Then can they demote the over promoted Masters on 3rd watch? Please we need help
Let me guess that will promote from the old list one time!
So when are they promoting?
Haa Im so surprised!
How the superintendent and his driver could get caught up with a falsified promotion is despicable! The entire "merit" process should be scrapped because of this fraudulent ploy. Obviously there was absolutely no vetting that this individual participated in taking the original written exam. This is a stab in the back to those who studied hard and passed over for promotions for the "chosen merit".
Some day the bell will toll for him.
I'll just call the rainbow push coalition and ask them where I'm at on the list.

Fop newsletter is very distasteful trying to make it sound like they are working for us. Spinning losses making it sound like things were forced down their throats. Very easy to see thru their poop.

Did you say frog classes?
Apparently it is common knowledge that one person on the 2001 Sergeants list did not have the college credits to be promoted and was shocked to learn that he had scored far better on the test than he thought he would. Through a contact in the registrars office at a southside college a transcript was created-showing credits he never earned-and subsequently mailed to the police personnel department. Rather than be shocked and angered about this the sources who informed me about this, well connected themselves, marveled at this persons ingenuity and determination. And this is how corruption works in the Chicago Pplice Depatment.

10/11/2014 11:48:00 AM
I can answer that:
You get the "privilege" of getting fucked in the pension ass when Angelo claims he "represents" you when it comes time to start giving away all your protected benefits by way of "bargaining" them away in exchange for promotions for his family.
You don't want this shitheel representing ANY retiree and the FOP has zero business "negotiating" anything for retirees who're already protected by the constitution, state and federal laws.
Angelo wants to flood the FOP with retirees and have you all paying dues so when the time comes he can claim retirees are still members and should be "represented".
Which of course means.... fucking you out of your medical and pension.
You are DONE with this city. Remove yourself from harms way by staying the fuck OUT of FOP once you're gone.
Angelo thinks he's going to grab hold of a higher membership and try to claim more "clout" by shitting on thousands more "members" he thinks he's going to represent.
There is zero reason to maintain membership in the FOP when you are retired. They have no business taking money from retirees and retirees are fucking dolts if they actually want Angelo or any FOP trying to "represent" them when the time comes.
This is a game waiting to happen. And when it does, retirees are gonna have to sue the FOP to prevent them from shoving their thieving fucking faces into the business of retirees and trying to steal their pensions for personal gain.
That is why we teach "building entry" at the academy. We also teach tactical maneuvers. Remember your training and stick to your training. We train you guys the right way and then you guys decide that you know best.
Training at the academy is great. Scenario's are great,but sometimes on the street it doesn't go that way. Shit happens out there,its part of the job and all the training in the world doesn't mean the situation can't go bad.

Why was the driver promoted to Sgt allowed to go back to a PO? That is not allowed. He should have had to resign and take the test over. I am a sgt and can't go back yo a PO if i want.

Well, it is true that when you are promoted a rank ( with exception of detective) you actually resign your present rank. That goes for all exempts also. Check the city ordinance and state law. However, I have never heard of it actually happening. It was threatened during layoff talks in the early 80's. The FOP is the one who wanted the resignations.
Serious question. It is well known CH did not take the sgts exam but was promoted then demoted when he was exposed. Why is he, or anyone involved, not looking at a rule 14 violation for lying on a official report. I'll hang up and listen for my answer.

It starts at the top... The Commander of the Mayor's detail was recently spotted sitting at table in outdoor cafe on North Wells street drinking a glass of wine with a convicted felon. The same convicted felon who years ago cost Fire Supt., Matt Rodriguez his career. Maybe that's why they call the Mayor, The Rham Father!
None of the promotions with the city are legitimate. CPD isn't the only department where the "merit" game is played.
We have to take two exams for a promotion and are then given an interview. The interviewers are none other than a couple of political mouth breathers. None of these clowns would ever be mistaken for subject matter experts.
Lo and behold they promote more political goofballs. The interviews are where the most qualified people are eliminated.

Re: Privacy
My facts are straight.
You're obviously one of those badged clerks working in News Affairs or Legal Affairs or Corp Counsel that allowed our personal info including
disciplinary history to get released without a fight.
I was involved in a shooting and a reporter contacted me by my cell phone and showed up at my door step for an exclusive. Uninvited and unwanted. I asked her where did she get my info she said from headquarters.
News and legal affairs is based at headquarters right? Or maybe personnel leaked out the info ?

The people who are at the academy have absolutely not street experience. They hide behind their diploma mill degree. I went through the academy last year and many of the instructors who are at the academy are retarded. But they compensate for their retarded disability by yelling and screaming. Some of them are so dumb that they appear to be inbred. They definitely look like they are inbred.

Sergeants need many more credits than you have since you cannot find that information.
the city already publishes every officer that works for the department on the city employee data portal. by the city's own admission they are invading the personal privacy of every officer.

Or maybe she lied to you.
Where did you get the "facts" that the sup's driver did NOT take the test??? You should find a job with the Inquirer Magazine or some other gossip rag. How ignorant you are to take something as TRUE based on gossip and rumor. Isn't it funny how people believe stupid shit without any proof! You sound like you would enjoy watching SOAPS with my grandmother! Some day justice will prevail and YOU will be portrayed in a false light, I can't wait!!!

When he campaigned for mayor, Rahm Emanuel promised that his government would be transparent and accountable.
I guess that s--t is over now that Karen Lewis is out.

Yea, POTUS said the same thing and look how that's turned out.
The latest example from the "most transparent administration in history" is the Army's not releasing the results in to the investigation of the Bergdahl/Desertion / 5 top terrorists swap.
When POTUS was first running for POTUS, I called in to CSPAN, got on air and said, "The one thing this country doesn't need is Chicago politics in D.C."
I was cut off.

The first thing you need to realize is how to tell when Rahm is lying..... his lips are moving.
Rahm lies like a rug and should never be believed nor trusted.
