Merry X-Mas Captains-to-Be
There's a list out. No, they didn't make captains. They made a list of lieutenants who will attend training in anticipation of vacancies occurring one day. There is a rumor about going back to One Watch/One Captain, but no one is sure.
Here is a list of the blessed:

Is this amount of new brass really necessary?
Only 22 are going to school. He lost was whittled down from 76. Of that 56 got the interview and from the 56 interviews the Supt narrowed it down to 36. From that he made a class of 22. The rumor is that he is making 22 off the bat to be able to send one to each of the 22 districts (no coincidence in the number 22). The position of district XO will be eliminated and the XO will have the first choice of either 1w or 3w with a new Capt getting the other.
After that class is settled in there will be some promotions and a few retirements. The last 14 will go into school and be pulled "as needed" to backfill those spots.
Boy Rouselle sure took care of his guys from MSF. One commander, a captain in Quantico, and 3 captains to be.
Not too bad
Wow! Gusty Gonzalez with three big bites of that merit apple. LAPA has been extremely good to her and her husband who also made the eligibility list. Good people but come on. There are a lot of good people out there.
You better check your list and better check it twice.
Just saying!!! Cancel Xmas for the not so NICE!!!
This is discrimination. No one promoted with a last named beginning with T thru Z.
Who cares!
Oshea????????
Wtf. Was part of the famous 011 STUDY GROUP where like 10 p o's scored under 250 for the sgt. Test. Btw, Thanks Matt!!!
Been a lt. For a short time. Wow!?
It's all legit.folks......now where's your activity clowns????????
A shame that my lieutenant didn't make it! A class guy who takes care of his people; MA, 1st watch, 020.
Holy shit! Some of these guys haven't been a Lt for a year! Wow
Is that the 021 Dist D. Harris? How and when has he ever displayed great leadership? Heck, some of these...as Dean says, "girls and guys", did not even lead at NATO.
With the sign of the times, we need great leadership.
Speaking of Dean, he just revealed he is not capable. K.K. even said that Dean bombed the press conference, missed the opportunity and admitted that it was a "moment for Mike Shields". It got so bad that they purposly cut the power just to put an end to the 10 minute "spork in the eye".
For God's sake someone please promote Lt. R.W. from 012. I'm still hoping for a Christmas day miracle!
Good to see some Polish names on the list!
Kulbida will be teaching the class on sexual harassment and how to make money at golf outings.
John Riordan? Really?
Hmmmm....I sense a conspiracy. Nobody listed with a last name past the letter S. Hmmmmm....
Oh the egos
Absolutely disgusting, a lot of the names (not all) on this list.
Multiple bites at that Merit Apple because of clout, nepotism, birthright, political affiliations and/or who fucked who. Many of these "Best & Brightest" never dialed Felony Review in their illustrious career, haven't been in a beat car since their probation ended and a handful don't even have a star on their sleeve yet.
Chicago-style "transparency" is alive and well within the CPD. G-Mac talked a decent game, but anyone with an ounce of grey matter recognized him as the fraud puppet he is the moment he set foot in St. Sabina's pre-City Council okay.
Anyone that thinks this job is legit is a damn fool.
D. Harris dim bulb, triple merit
Ha - some of those people just made Lieutenant from the last promotions. Now they have such exceptional performance in their short time as lieutenant that they deserve to be captains?
In anticipation? Is this like the mechanical rabbit at the greyhound track?
The 2nd list is an eligibility list, meaning once the first 22 are promoted then they would be eligible for training then possible promotion.
Congrats !!! Your clout is heavier than the other Lts
New saw new amended list come out. I call b.s.
Gee, how many have IR#'s? At least two. Good job McMush, did you run the names past Ricky Simon first?
anyone on the list ever do any real police work?.....just asking....
Congrats John R. And T. O'B. Great supervisors and guys. Best wishes
-old 253 guy
OMG thank you GOD a Christmas miracle for the 7th district. No more Eve no more Tony. There will be a huge celebration in the 7th district. Everybody who bidded out or changed shifts can now come back.
More six figure salaries draining pension and serving absolutely no purpose other than making life miserable for those who actually work and answer calls.
The list confirms to me: that the Superintendent is a coward. He is a politician. He is not a leader or a police officer. The list is too long – its window-dressing. The Superintendent cannot make a freaking decision. Headquarters has 4 commanders that do nothing (they are too dumb to do anything) they were moved there because the Superintendent didn’t have the balls to demote them. The same logic applies with the list – the Superintendent is not smart enough or has the courage to make a top 10 list of the best candidates. He made politicians and cry-babies happy, but that’s a list of people that will never get promoted nor should most. He is a joke.
A shame that my lieutenant didn't make it! A class guy who takes care of his people; MA, 1st watch, 020. couldn't agree more!
Oshea? Wow guy has been in 011 for a year then not even 6 months at lt in narcotics must be nice.
Riordan!????
Wow
A husband and a wife both make it! Holy fuck LAPA! He's not even Spanish !
Escamilla merit sergeant, lieutenant now captain great job for clouted minorities.
So what exactly will a watch Captain be responsible for with a DSS and a Operations Lt? I guess they will have 2 jobs - deny time due and be there in case a dog gets shot.

What's the matter with John Riordan? I never had a problem with the man and I have known him for 28 years and worked with him and for him several times in those years. Good man as far as I am concerned.
Want to bring up family clout? I recall when he was a sergeant, every time I saw him, in his patrol car, in Starbucks, whatever, he had a pile of orders and books, studying for the Lt. test.
Sears?! Lmao worthless!

Sort of like bum rapping Admiral Chester W. Nimitz because his clout got many of the Lt's and Commanders and Captains under him promoted to high positions within the Navy and many of them had not only ships named after them but entire classes of ships named after them. Fletcher, Spruance, etc.
I don't see BA Baracus's name on the list. I will have to make a call.

He was my tact lt. in 24. Knowledgeable, led from the front, always took care of the troops. Guess that's why he wasn't considered. Same B.S.; different names.
Captain is an unnecessary and completely useless rank. Hell, may as well make Corporals & Sgt Majors while they're at it.
make all future promotions pass standard physical fitness test/power test!
LET'S BEGIN TO TRIM THE LIST!
AT least the few names I recognize Are great down to earth fair ppl , Johnson, Roman,Betts,and Blissett. not a bad choice at all very knowledgeable.
Ass kissers big time
Thankfully DJ from 009/1st Watch isn't even being considered.
What a foolish mistake that would be (the 2nd mistake that would be, 1st is him making Lt)
So in the era of Ray Rice, the CPD promotes a lieutenant from 10 who punched his wife out and was arrested. Nice.
Back to One Captain per watch??
Now the upcoming Lieutenant Exam
will be changed to reflect no more WOL and different DSS duties.
Does the city do anything right???
how many were merit sergeant or lieutenant , assign them to a 12 hour shift 1730 - 0530 hours , that is when we need supervision to monitor gps , tactical , 3rd watch leaving early , ooops xo been know to leave and not swipe in and out

Congrats to Mark Harmon, good guy.
Yes, I recognize someone who is a merit sergeant, lieutenant and soon to be merit captain. Pays to work in Little Village and be Spanish heritage ??
Congratulations to all the newly appointed Captains....I'm reading a lot of comments on various blogs and social media sites congratulating these fine individuals ....I'm reading a lot of comments such as: well deserved he or she is a great boss they were or are a worker or the real police or he or she is a great guy or gal.
Seriously? ??? This is a 3rd or 4th bite of merit apple for some of these great bosses. Whether by merit or secret study group or flat out given the answers you can't make capt let alone Lt without the assistance of a current or former exempt. An alderman or other political office holder a reverend or other important person.
This dept is a sad joke
Hey you dim witted Lt Masters you didn't get over promoted AGAIN!!!! Thank god! The sorry thing is us in 11 are stuck with you. Do you think that 35th street doesn't know that your a big failure? The bosses have been asked WHY is there always SOOO many par forms coming in from 3rd watch in 11. The sad thing was only 5 people were able to make the bids out, out if the 20 that put in.
Oh and by the way your on furlough stop calling in and flipping out about x mas eve and day sheets your goof!!!
Oshea????????
Wtf. Was part of the famous 011 STUDY GROUP where like 10 p o's scored under 250 for the sgt. Test. Btw, Thanks Matt!!!

12/25/2014 12:48:00 AM
His brother is chief of staff or something like that for Pat Quinn. Funny how tight the power structure is huh.
Superintendent McCarthy has repeatedly talked about transparency and an end to the old clout days. This list says otherwise.
Superintendent, you would look more legit if you would just keep your mouth shut when you are doing what you are told.
Some good hard working names on there, but plenty of the usual ones.
I'm guessing 12,000 a pop?
Can anyone name the person on the list that was taken out of the 011th district tact office in handcuffs for "allegedly" planting guns on youths of the 011th district? He and two of his teammates were all stripped & fought the case for years. Oh, and IAD also found a locker in the basement of 011 with u inventoried guns.
Seriously, he beat the case, but this is his second merit bump.
Oshea did you drink the koolaid also....so sad
Gonzalez was not triple merit, she made rank on score.
He picks good people who worked hard??? Wow if you believe that I have some grassy land in the Sahara to sell u
Is it possible to demote Lemmer? Biggest prick on the department!
All 3 Lt's from Gang Enforcement???!!! Thats every single Lt from that unit! I guess they deserve it after having to deal with their scumbag commander Kevin Ryan for so long.
Horrible and brutal come to mind. What a slap in the face of those who have over 10 yrs and are knowledgeable about this job and know the right thing to do. Outside of 5 or 6, this list is an embarrasment.
3 CAPTS at The Academy Must Be NICE

MAYBE you're an Idiot He picked Ray Ray Hamilton

What a foolish mistake that would be (the 2nd mistake that would be, 1st is him making Lt)
12/25/2014 11:01:00 AM
Wth! Dj from 1st watch is a great boss! Unlike merit hack Lt Ry from 1st watch with his stand up inspection and his "let me look at the g.o's and I will get back to you" Self lol! DJ looks out for p.o's and has gone to bat for the 1st watch. I can see he is annoying at times when he rides on our jobs but he came from the old school when bosses were out there backing p.o's up. He actually shot a couple of people. He needs to go about getting made a different way. And I don't mean kissing ass. He is not that type of boss.
Again People Thinking CPD is something More than it is Your a COP wether your a CAPT or NOT your rank means SHIT BFD CAPT Crunch Has more respect than you
Besdies were not a military organization Most couldnt pass a the 3 mile run
maybe these capts can get in shape and wear their uniforms correctly
Semoper Fi

Come on Cpt. Sean! WTF? Stay the fuck of the blog and go get your leadership training in Quantico and be the "youngest Commander in history of CPD" like you want. You know it's yours, so no need to bring in true war heroes to compare yourself to. It is an insult to them! It's so obvious you wrote the above, now take your ass down to Quantico in your WWII Jeep you tool!
Look at how many JUST came from units, but are listed from Districts. Units rule - Districts drool!
What is the big deal, the pension fund will be broke by the time most of these captains wish to retire.
DJ from 009 didn't even apply , I don't think so anyway, but ask most people he really takes care of the troops, works his ass off- very fair across the board. Saved a few from trouble in 009 already, nuff said,wish him well.

To 9:20 am I have no idea who Riordan is but it's nice that every time you seen him he was studying and not supervising.
Happy I'm leaving soon, this circus has been like this and always will go on like this,but most pay a price, how many tickets do you have to buy to the fundraisers for the corrupt politicians?
how about that class of EVIDENCE TECHNICIANS we need now?
Screw XO's, we need watch commanders back.... No consistent response in anything. Sergeants have no vested interest in the watch operations. Need someone with the trump card. Start holding lieutenants accountable so sgts can do what they need to do and support them.
Moore!?!
Oh hell....
Sears is a hack,always has been,she has ran 5 sgt.s off her watch,she has the personality of a chia pet,and I apologize to chia pets for that,what a joke
Be nice to O'Shea!
He did his time on the watch in 011. He sat in the chair as the W/C / DSS for three days before Cmdr. Washington made him the Tact Lt. He then served admirably as the Tact Lt for a whole year before moving to Narcotics, where he patiently awaited his promotion to Captain.
I salute you, Captain O'Shea! It's a true leader who can go from Lieutenant to Captain while working the watch for only three days.
If you left 007 it was because you were a dog ass do nothing who got called on the carpet for it. Everybody cheered when you left. You're just too stupid to realize it. Stay away and don't come back you lazy ass dog.
Any word on a sergeants class?
I0 hours on the way city wide. Only need 2 captains per watch on this new system. The city wants captains again to put the hammer down on the PO's. Ya'll better buy some extra pens cause you'll be writing more tickets than you ever had before.
Congrats to Darlin. Great cop, heck of a good guy.

Unbelievable! Yes, he left Narcotics briefly to suffer as a new Lt in 11, oh excuse me, TACT Lt...don't ALL the new Lts get those spots? No?
Then he miraculously headed back to narcotics to get his take home car again. Now this, Makes me sick!
Riordan? Again. Tired of the same old, don't care how nice he is. He's so nice he should be embarassed.
The Lts don't do anything and we need more Capts that make more and retire with a larger pension? This does not make sense! The only thing worse than the getting paid more to do less management on the Police Department is the Fire Department.
Harris is going to put an end to the DC when he makes captain just you watch. Lol
Tony from 007. Wow, triple merit. Arrogant, clueless, and bipolar. hardly hit the streets. Screams at the POs and the perfect example of micro managing at its worst. 007 dist and 3rd watch will be a better place once he's gone. Merry Christmas to 007 Dist!!
Made rank on score??? Which secret study group did she attend?
I can only speculate that when people get a powerful job in this town and want to keep the job and maybe get something else when they leave, they learn to play ball with the mayor and the power structure. So, if this is true, McCarthy will be superintendent for a few more years and move on to something else within the government sphere of influence. It sure seemed to work for others. Play ball and we will take care of you down the line. Maybe after you retire start a security business and get all of the government contracts? Or a county job or state job? Maybe be sponsored for US Marshall or head of airport security? Nothing impossible if you are well liked and make friends and that is only possible if you take the calls and grant the favors. So, what has changed??
Thanks, Aunt Rosie.
R. Blisset merit dick, sgt, lt, capt. Wow. Only in Chicago. Not a perk to work for either. Must be nice 4x.
The comment about MSF bosses getting taken care of is right on target. All these bosses got made from not only the phone calls they have but from the hard work the officers put in. Bosses were made to look good from the hard working officers within the unit. You would be a fool to think that's not true. So any of these bosses looking out for the workers? Doubt it! Again the officer is the sucker. You think any of these bosses will remember the workers and help promote them? Not a chance. You think a good boss would recall his worker(s) and share the wealth. S.L. is only interested in himself and has no loyality to anyone. He will be promoted and will NEVER help anyone that has worked for him. People who know him know that's the truth. Complete joke and mockery this department has become.
All 3 Lt's from Gang Enforcement???!!! Thats every single Lt from that unit! I guess they deserve it after having to deal with their scumbag commander Kevin Ryan for so long.

12/25/2014 11:48:00 AM
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
A merit capt??? Captains are all merit per se... There is no test. So enough with the dramatics already.
"Ya'll better buy some extra pens cause you'll be writing more tickets than you ever had before."
Um, no I won't and there isn't shit a fucking Captain or any white shirt can do about that. What's that Cap'n? Can you specifically tell me exactly how many tickets I need to write? I thought so.
This will be e'scam'illa's third bite at the merit apple. What a joke. Don't know if there's a captain's hat big enough to fit his ballooned ego. But he deserves it, just ask him.
A drain on pension fund with u qualified merit captains , useless rank .
Sergeants have always ran the watch and do an excellent job as DSS
Wtf is rahmmie a sleep at the wheel.
Where was O'Shea a patrolman? Never remember seeing the guy.
Gonzalez is triple merit!
$10 says O'Shea turns down the Captain spot cause he can't have a take home car. Guy has no time on the job, yet has had a free city car for most of his career. As a Dick in Area North, I watched this goof, totally clueless on what to do when one of his tact guys in 011 got into a shooting. Only the best and the brightest move up in CPD. Must be nice to have all that clout. Remember, Earned, not Given! Lmao!
.
A shame that my lieutenant didn't make it! A class guy who takes care of his people; MA, 1st watch, 020. couldn't agree more! Yes nice guy but he's a puppet the 2 main sgts on 1 run the show and has to ask them permission on how to run the manpower no balls.
What's the matter with John Riordan? I never had a problem with the man and I have known him for 28 years and worked with him and for him several times in those years. Good man as far as I am concerned. Want to bring up family clout? I recall when he was a sergeant, every time I saw him, in his patrol car, in Starbucks, whatever, he had a pile of orders and books, studying for the Lt. test.
I didn't know Riordan can read. He's the reason the watch secretary on mids in 19 runs the place. He couldn't do the admin stuff.
A who's who of incompetent merit hacks. Everyone knows that the farthest you can go on this department without clout is sergeant and even 3/4ths of them have clout.
The only thing that should be said is simple. WE DON'T NEED CAPTAINS!!!!!!!! We already have Lts who don't do anything!!!!!! The DSS gets a beating like a red headed stepchild while the Lt signs yellow slips. The Lt doesn't look at any reports or anything else for that matter. The Captain bugs the Lt who in return bugs the DSS who in return tells all the field Sgts what was just said by the Capt and Lt. The beat cars go from to job to job to job. Some Sgts try and help. The DSS is pinned to the computer the entire shift. The Lt watches TV and the Captain plays who can I fuck with next. Hey Gary, gives us a break!!!!!!
Sergeant at arms for every watch.
Got'em already. They're called Watch Secretaries. Most of them act like they aint blue shirts.
In a perfect world world PK, AE and a few others would be jail and fired. But this isn't a perfect world it is Chicago.
006 - Sears, M....
Clearly connected. One of the worst LT's ever.
Great point about Capt. SL on here. He will use people who work for him to make himself look good. He will be be promoted to DC somewhere and use his merit pick to promote himeself. He is one way and will continue to be like this. I wonder would he help promote any hard worker who has been loyal to him? NEVER...... Well if that worker is his wife then yeah I guess he would.

Ryan is a good guy. He's stand up boss and wouldn't hurt a working copper. Thats for sure. You must be one of those lazy dogs who was put there as a favor from another boss...
nice to see the 19th ward is back controlling the promotions clout still rules
I hope Sears makes it. She was a hard working copper in 007 back in the day. A sweet heart of a person as well.

It all makes sense. Corruption at its finest.
The bigger story is the number of Lts. that didn't even put in to be promoted under this administration. Like so much of the Department, they have just given up and are whiling away the hours. It will take a decade to fix this mess and a true leader.
Hire more police officers , political hack xo captain rank does nothing , don't swipe in and out , change clothes , work out , on computer all night . Just a way to pay back mi ority politicians .there goes the pension .
XO captain cannot run a watch , so they come to work and do nothing .
Close 24 and merge with 20 , a few less bosses .
O'shea went straight to 011 from academy then 011 tact. Then narcotics he repeated that cycle as sergeant and lieutenant
He beat the case ?? Meaning he was not guilty of the charges and did not do it or clout got him out of it?
Sean are you going to look out for your old MSF guys????? Wouldn't it be right to help those who made you look good in front or Rousell.

McWhisperer will be superintendent a couple more months, not years. When the mayoral election is over, no matter who gets elected, McFailedStrategyAfterStrategy is over, too.
OT just a little bit.
How did Mike Voight make merit Sergeant?
Can anyone name the person on the list that was taken out of the 011th district tact office in handcuffs for "allegedly" planting guns on youths of the 011th district? He and two of his teammates were all stripped & fought the case for years. Oh, and IAD also found a locker in the basement of 011 with u inventoried guns.
Seriously, he beat the case, but this is his second merit bump.
Triple merit!
EK invested those funds from the golf outing, as soon as the dividends come thru he will disperse them.
Ridiculous! How many chiefs do we need? This dept is so top heavy. Is this McCarthy's way of showing there is room for advancement. Some of these people need to be demoted or retired. What happen to Henny Penny & all them old captains? Do we really need all these people sucking up our pensions? How bout more boots on the ground? This is just giving our hard earned pensions away like I said ridiculous!
make all future promotions pass standard physical fitness test/power test!
And what about you guys, you would have to pass an intelligence test!
I don't buy the idea of Captains going back to first and third watch. The Lts lost their grievance for out of grade pay as Captains a couple of years ago because the arbitrator said they were not working as XO's. If the city starts having Capts runs watches, now the city owes a lot of back pay to Lieutenants for out of grade pay. The arbitrator even said if the city goes back to Capts running watches, the Lieutenants can re-argue their case, and have a compelling argument

Gee, let's see, a Lt that can do 25 sit-ups, 20 push-ups, and ran 1.5 miles in under 15 minutes.
Or . . the Lt who knows how to do his job, write paper to save your ass, or takes care of the workers.
Don't abuse the "Semoper Fi" . . .
Semper Fidelis
R. Blisset merit dick, sgt, lt, capt. Wow. Only in Chicago. Not a perk to work for either. Must be nice 4x.

You forgot about the goof in charge of Fugitive Apprehension and unit 606. Same place where
the last new Lt to Capt is coming from.
Oshea, total joke. Chicago bs at it's finest.
boy oh boy. Lt. lewis is going to be a captain, wow, she was a sgt in the first deputies office back in the late 90's, was supposed to be attending meetings at city hall but was providing security for an alderman friend, got caught, launched and was buried for a few years, made Lt. then commander of 2, demoted to Lt. and now a Capt. So you guys who talk about the Hispanic organizations, check out the westside reverends.
I want to be a lieutenant in the Compstat unit (115). All three of the lieutenants have now been promoted to captain.
Couple names on this list that should never have been promoted to Lt due to off duty shenanagins such as beating their wife ( documented and he was in call back for a long time) or another who wrote daily parking tickets to a car driving too slowly in front of her. Other names are very deserving

Captains will be watch Captains with Lts working as DSS. No more Sgts at the desk. If the Captain is Rdo then the Lt DSS will not fill in as watch captain.
Harris?! Hahaha! Now THAT'S funny!!
Ridiculous! How many chiefs do we need? This dept is so top heavy. Is this McCarthy's way of showing there is room for advancement. Some of these people need to be demoted or retired. What happen to Henny Penny & all them old captains? Do we really need all these people sucking up our pensions? How bout more boots on the ground? This is just giving our hard earned pensions away like I said ridiculous!

What do you mean "Sucking up your pension"? You act like these Captains have never paid into the pension fund or "your" pension fund as you like to call it. They have paid into the fund for 20 plus years at PO rate, Sgt rate, Lt rate and will now pay at Captain rate which is more then you pay into the pension fund.

How many bites to people like liebas & Harris get? Three merit promotions is more than enough.

And they'll get a lot more from the pension fund than he gets too.

Wrong. The Capt. would run the watch. The Sgt would still be a DSS. A LT would strictly be a field LT. Like now, when the Capt is RDO his job is not filled just like when a watch LT is RDO now.

What's the matter with John Riordan? I never had a problem with the man and I have known him for 28 years and worked with him and for him several times in those years. Good man as far as I am concerned. Want to bring up family clout? I recall when he was a sergeant, every time I saw him, in his patrol car, in Starbucks, whatever, he had a pile of orders and books, studying for the Lt. test.
I didn't know Riordan can read. He's the reason the watch secretary on mids in 19 runs the place. He couldn't do the admin stuff.
12/26/2014 06:14:00 AM
He's never been a paper guy even as a det. but he knows how to be the police. Funny as hell. I agree he may not give the impression of intelligence but the guy is scary smart, always scored high on the promotion tests.

What he probably means is they will forever draw from it at Captain's rate (not patrolman, or sergeant or lieutenant).
So, you pay in for 16yrs at p.o., 4yrs as sgt, 5yrs as lieutenant and 4yrs as captain, then you get a CAPTAIN's pension for the next 25yrs. It depletes the pension disproportionately.

The only thing that should be said is simple. WE DON'T NEED CAPTAINS!!!!!!!! We already have Lts who don't do anything!!!!!! The DSS gets a beating like a red headed stepchild while the Lt signs yellow slips. The Lt doesn't look at any reports or anything else for that matter. The Captain bugs the Lt who in return bugs the DSS who in return tells all the field Sgts what was just said by the Capt and Lt. The beat cars go from to job to job to job. Some Sgts try and help. The DSS is pinned to the computer the entire shift. The Lt watches TV and the Captain plays who can I fuck with next. Hey Gary, gives us a break!!!!!!
well said ^^^^^^ agree 100%
I hope Sears makes it. She was a hard working copper in 007 back in the day. A sweet heart of a person as well.
HAHAHAHA You are frickin' kidding right????
77 lieutenants submitted applications which were reviewed by the Captains Screening Board consisting of Captains Buslik and Chambers, Commanders West and Navarro, and Deputy Chiefs Carter and Walsh. All were found to meet the requirements to be considered by the Merit Board. The civilian deputy chief of Support Services (who shouldn't be involved in the process, but has the Director of HR under his thumb) allegedly made a couple packets for candidates he didn't like disappear, and the rest were sent through the vetting process. Of those, 36 got the nod, with 22 going for training immediately and 14 waiting in the wings.

You missed a step. Of the 76 that were sent through the supt picked 56 to interview. The interview was with GMac, Chief Tracey and The 1st Deputy. If the 56 interviewed they chose 36 to be on the final eligibility list. They chose to promote 22 of the 36. Not sure what the plan is with the final 14
Looking at the names on that "Review Board".....I would have never made it to the "Merit Board" part even today.
I've been gone a while.

Then the Only fair way to do it would be that when you get promoted you take all of the money you put into the "PO pension" along with the associated funds the city put in AND any interest and/or investment gains and move them to the "Sgt Pension Fund". And so on up the chain. As you can see, a class of 50 Sgts would cost the "PO Pension fund" a ton. They would have to write a check for possibly a million dollars or more to the "Sgts fund" thus depleting their fund once again. And this same process would have to happen as an individual moves up the ranks.
Moving up the ranks is not what is killing the pension fund.

All I can say is study harder and get promoted. Your pension is bigger, your comp time is worth more etc. you act like a captain should retire on a PO's salary. Let's not forget, when you came on you too were making a lot less money and paying proportional less into the fund. How about when YOU retire after 25 years of paying into the pension fund (at a higher % with each new contract) should your pension be 80% of your base salary form 1990??? I know...that's different.
Nothing but jealous bitches! Congrats DO, you deserve it. I worked under this guy! He knows his shit, takes care of his people. He's been on the westside his entire career!
Is tag you for a gunfight any day!
There should be no more new Capts after that psycho Iron mike screwed up 19. Isn't he proof enough?
Lt. DJ in Dearing is an old school Boss. He's competent and best of all not a pussy. That Boss(Lt. T-1000)rides by himself in a pretty crappy area to say the least.
My Partner and I were assigned a shooting on west 47th. When we pulled up there was Lt. DJ and Sgt. M(the usual guys U'd come to expect in 009 to show up to calls)already in battle mode. Lt. R might be a semi cool dude, but Lt. DJ is the real deal CPD Boss. Make no mistake about it.

I agree. Worked with John up north. Not a paper guy but a great cop and always took care of the troops working with and for him. One of the last members of the Riordan family which started with his father, the 1st Deputy Supt. who was murdered in 1981. John was too young to take advantage of his clout. It would be a big mistake to underestimate him. He'll be a good captain.
Why are Lieutenants that just got promoted on the second list, i thought you had to have 2yrs in the rank of lieutenant to be considered for captain. WTH IS GOING ON HERE.
Are they promoting Et's, Detectives, Lieutenants whats next?
When Lt. Riordan got wind PJ was sound checking last summer at Wrigley he came out & listened. My stock in PM went up just from Riordan standing outside, smoking, and avoiding "The Big B" on 1st watch.
Go get John. Can't find a better man!
pre service training, is that like they are going to work patrol for 6 years? Some on this list did not even work patrol for 6 mos...
The process for the CPD promotional process is legit. For example, David Harris. Three times merit, that's a hat trick.

Wow! Gusty Gonzalez with three big bites of that merit apple. LAPA has been extremely good to her and her husband who also made the eligibility list. Good people but come on. There are a lot of good people out there.

You can tattoo the test answers to their foreheads, give them scholarships and tuition grants and they'll never achieve what I, and two generations before me, attained-rank order promotions! Let's strop the bullshit and admit to what we all know.
thank your daddy and your grandpa for your promotions u goof!who u kidding u stroke!
