In Case You Were Wondering...
...the "merit" detectives:
Thanks to FOIA.
Hey, how come a demoted commander gets a pick from a command he hasn't held in a year?

"Hey, how come a demoted commander gets a pick from a command he hasn't held in a year?"
Because the merit picks were submitted as far back as October, 2012.
How about the command staff on there who are retired!!!
Lodding, Jarmusz, O'Grady? Why do these guys get a pick?
Damn Jarmusz....
Now an observant man must ask question?
Why are your pick so great that you receive 2 of them.
Yet No exempts in the higher ups at HQ have any pick?
Im looking and i will find...
How about the picks from jarmusz, ogrady, Walter green and Evans they all retired except for Evans , wo well you know...
I think the Department or Union should just post this already.
Thanks for the post SCC, very much appreciated. It's the only why to keep everyone honest.
I guess the NEW 025th district commander didn't think anyone in 010 was good enough for Det. Glad to disappoint!
I'm glad for some because them
How about the Captain putting someone in? Does Commander Pontecore know Captain Pontecore got TT made? There's going to be some summary punishment round da crib.
A very long time ago...a Boss said that the system is 'I vote for your guy and you vote for my guy.' Now do you get it?
The Fang?!?!?! Good lord.
It's the Chicago way??
Besides Glen Evans no longer holding a commander position and currently charged in state court, Howard Loading retired last summer.
So these guys put thier nominations in at least a year go and they are being full filled now?
The super claims to have his own hand in these promotions with his interview process and he allows bosses names to be attached to picks who either no longer work here anymore or have been demoted?
Congrats, GW..... 00-2A for life, homie!!
Hasn't Jarmusz been retired for more then 2 years.
Pentacore isn't even in 012
Staples is the commander of 012 why did she put in someone from 017
Glenn Evans hasn't been a commander for awhile how did he get a pick.
It is all on the up and up on this department, no wonder moral is so low.
025 merit nomination is a good pick. Congrats JM.
First of all, Howard Lodding has been gone for over a year now. Secondly, Chris Ware is running for Mayor in the upcoming election. Lastly, I wish them all well.
Why do retired exempts still get picks?
Six picks go to retired bosses? It's all legit.....
Now Retired...
Way back when the Detectives Exam was considered the only really legit promotional examination on the department. Every question on it could be answered if you studied the material and took the Departments "Extension Courses" and read all the orders you were told to read.
When you turned your test paper in it was run through the ScanTron machine right in front of you and you were told your grade. The first class of Detectives was made within months.
There were few Meritorious Detectives back then. These were some of the smarter Tact guys who put together major cases and some who had particular language skills.
Hey SCC retired detective here. I absolutely love cry babies out here yelling "oh he/she was merit this or that." I have seen one too many supervisors or detectives that are complete morons when it comes to police work but are a genius when it comes to studying general orders. I was put in for merit detective but ended up making it in the second promotion class off the list. I worked hard so it was a nice compliment to be put in for merit. Now don't think for a minute that there aren't a bunch of merit hacks that I would even trust to even carry a gun let alone be a boss. I'm just saying I know a few really good bosses and detectives that you want on your job when you get into a police shooting. But these are the same guys who are just bad test takers. So I'm against calling out all the merit guys/girls because they just might save your job some day. And that one guy/girl who scored number one? Well they may be the one to get you fired because book smarts only go so far. Just sayin'... Retired and hope you all get to enjoy the good life soon. Stay safe.
How does an Indicted Exempt facing criminal prosecution get to pick a Detective for Merit Promotion? I realize we have Due Process, and a Presumption of Innocence; but at the same time, the Exempt is not an Exempt at the present moment, or is he? Can dead China Men get picks; just asking."G"
Please tell me how????
Congrats to those that deserve it. FH is a good copper and an old Ranger from 007. I mean Old.
Why does a retired commander get a pick? He's been gone for about 3or4 years.
How do a couple of retired guys get a pick?
Is that the same O'Grady that retired?
Why not you have a person that pimped out the death of his kid to get a "DIRECTOR" spot.
What is the difference.
Once again proving there ain't a fucking thing legit on this job. Just like all the dreamers at work studying for today's canine test. You'll prob pass the written. You'll prob pass the physical. But good luck at the "oral" interview portion. If you ain't got the right genes or phone call you ain't ranking high enough to ever make it off the list in rank order. FACT.
How did Pontecore get a pick....hes not exempt?
O'Grady? Jarmusz?
Both have been gone for a while.
Does it really matter?
Yes. Both were good working coppers and much more likely to pick good working coppers.
Wow
Another promotion out of Chief tracey's office. Is there anyone left there to promote? Counting murders now qualifies as meritorious work?
Why did Jarmusz ( or jar-mush) as some call him, and Ryan get two picks?
Isn't Dave Jarmusz a "double merit" promotee himself?
How does a former FBI agent who comes in as a commander during Jodi Weis time get a merit spot when the Deputy Chief of IAD does not get one?
Let alone giving the same merit detective spot to someone who has been assign to the Superintendents office and not working full time in IAD. Guess FBI commander wants to keep his spot and was told to promote the house mouse.
Just look at A&A timekeeping the house mouse gets lots of overtime thru Sups office. Not in IAD.
Thats how merit is earned not given....
Walter Green, Jarmusz and Glenn Evans get people made.
Only in Chicago.
If you're talking about 3, the copper is a worker.
All I have to say is the 2 guys from 009 are very hard working and deserve it.
Um, Walter Green! Didnt he retire and working as head of security at malcolm x. Hows he get to nominate? James O'Grady? Isnt he in Harwood Heights?!
good work posting the merit hacks SCC. Make M for merit the scarlet letter of the CPD
Just another list of do nothing hacks with connections
Ogrady has been gone from the department for about a year now but his guy made merit pick. Hmmm i say bullshit.
Dave Jarmusz has 2 picks but retired at least 2 1/2 years ago, same with Walter Green. Ron Holt is only a p/o assigned as a director, why does he get a pick, Don O'neill head of personnel - conflict of interest? Bob Klimas- civilian former FBI holdover from Weiss, works in IAD- why get a pick. Glenn Evans has been criminally charged over a year ago. Eliminate meritorious now!
Don't hate the player hate the game
What you see is not what you always get. Commanders are sometimes told who to pick by other bosses who do not have or used up their pick. Ask any commander how the system really works. You might find one in a bad mood who may be "honest" for a while.
After speaking with a secret service agent at the Obama detail be glad that it's only 30% merit hacks because 100% of an entire class of SS promotees can be merit. He was super salty about that and said that many people get the SS training and then leave to another law enforcement entity because of this.
The people that were promoted merit were submitted 2-3 years ago and under McCarthy he hasn't requested "fresh" merit selections. He has picked from the pool of people submitted 2-3 years.

The dashboard-mounted cameras switch on automatically as soon as the red and blue flashing police lights are turned on, explained Harwood Heights Poiice Chief Jim O'Grady.
This guy above?
It should have been me!!!!
Why is Klimas even still here?!?! FBee1 rat.
Listen up, these picks were submitted more than 2 and a half years ago, thus the nominators that are retired etc... pay attention, and yes, the Supe interviewed each one of them and many others.
To 2/21/2015 9:04 AM
You have no clue what you're talking about. Some of these guys actually deserved it, are hard workimg and have no connections. Some of you are real idiots.
The chicago way !
I'd love to see the arrest totals for these merit picks especially the ones who have spent over 10 yrs working in a cubicle in HQ.....but the again like the poster says.....
" Earned, not given"..... Now if you excuse me I'm gonna go puke..........
No one wants to hear it but there is at least one guy on there that I know FOR A FACT has always been a hard worker and will be an excellent detective. He is smart and reliable and a great partner / team member. Guys like him are the reason for merit promotions. I won't defend the entire process as I do feel it is frequently abused, but this certain guy is the real deal. Congrats, Detective. You DESERVE it. Too many angry, jealous, narrow minded haters out there for me to mention his name. I don't want to provide an excuse to perpetuate or use this
comment to shred him.
merit proposals were made in late 2012, they've kept the list in place rather than re interview every time
Kevin Ryan gets two picks?
Yes, but its like a fantasy football draft, it was the last pick of the first round and the first pick of the second round
Even IF these picks were submitted before the respective gold stars retired or were demoted, it's wrong. The merit selection process for this class - as flawed as it is - should have to be more timely/relevant. (Throwing out an arbitrary number here...) why can't merit selections be submitted, say, within one or two period(s) proceeding the start of the academy?
AT MINIMUM, those picks submitted by now-gone or demoted gold stars should be shit-canned and those spots nominated by current supervisors.
And Don O'Neil gets a pick?!?!? Are you fucking serious??!!! The guy that does the most to make sure coppers get fucked at the collective bargaining table gets to throw a bone of amends of sorts?
Do all of the merit clowns on this list have the education requirements? I see more than one that had very recent problems regarding indebtedness to the city - were those issues cleared up? Will the media do FOIA requests and see some of the people on this list are also on the big, bad CR list and try to dirty the waters with it?
All in all, the Chicago Way and the fucked up CPD promotional protocol again shine thru. Who woulda thunkit!
I don't mind the merit picks for Dic. Check out some of the "legit" people on the list. There's a lot of them that have never done anything. I'd rather have the people that have experience then someone that just did well on some test that was graded by who knows who.
Jason Motyka from 025 is a great copper and will make an even better detective. He has seen the elephant, stared him down and won. He is worthy of a merit pick. Congrats and good luck Detective Motyka.

AMEN!
Nobody deserves merit. There is no explanation of what qualifies for merit...if you dont test well...then you should have never made it on the job....study...really G.W......what did you have a video of a boss sharting when you were doing taser instruction????? Knee pads must be 50 shades of grey by now....damn....
I don't know about TJ's work ethic, but he was always pleasant with me when passing through the halls of HQ. He's a nice guy!

Is that you Ware? Oh I'm sorry I mean my Knight in Blue! Lol. Stroke.
All I can say is maybe you guys should read the order on merit promotions. These were submitted a long time ago before the exempts retired or got dumped. At that time 012 did not have a commander and Pontecorre was the actor. He had to submit names like all the commanders. Just because you get put in doesn't mean you will get made, hence the reason some commander's picks aren't on there.
Obviously the merit nomination list stays active and those on it are eligible until that particular promotion list comes down. These bosses were active and exempt at the time of their submission. There are a few really good coppers on this list so I'm glad to see that it's not all politics.
Merit is a gift.
A gift with a favor attached.
Be on the look out for Detectives moved to nice easy spots.
The clouted will be put into units without being trained.
Don't worry old detectives will not train you correctly and run for the keys to the unmarked.
Don't forget to ask for days too and an early start time with Sunday & Mondays off.
We know you have a family and want to see them on weekends.
And the best is the officer with 20 plus years who does not know how to run a name or plate in LEADS. The look on the old timers face when the have a shooting alone is priceless!
BV and JD from
009 will make great detectives. Congrats guys!
Merit picks for Det. were submitted along time ago...not last week.
motyka from 025 is a good, hard working copper. well deserved pick.
To all You cry babies who hate merit picks. Get over it, yeah I get it they took a spot from someone who did well on the test. Its never going to change. and I'd rather have a guy with some balls than some douchebag with good study habits. Congrats to everyone. All these jobs are on job training. Most our bosses these days couldn't fight their selves out of a wet paper bag, but they sure no how to spar someone!
It's one thing waiting and waiting since 2005 on the Earned It List, one would think there would be a stale date on the Meritorious List. Hold overs for Merit from past Exempts is hilarious.
Police for Fair Promtions - hey, FOP...post a List.
Yes the. Copper in oo3 works he writes parker movers and impounds on regular citizens and mostly female. Nice safe stops rarely stops thugs and criminals. He should be an exempt soon.
The Dept says these members are the creme de la creme and are so worthy that they can steal a spot from another member who scored better, so why do you have to make a FOIA to get the information. Its plain to see, the the weasels and misfits at City Hall do not want you to know.
What's with the K9 test results being posted for 1 hour. Wth! I got there after 2pm and it was gone. Why the rush to take it down. Grades were by pc# so there shouldn't be a problem. .....or are they hiding something?
What exactly are the criteria or benchmark for the meritorious detective? A query reveals some of these selected candidates have written very few or no contact cards at all placing them in the last percentile band in their units. Certainly not meritorious. Similar circumstances have landed officers in the commander’s office for counseling. I thought ComStat, the 21st Century Policing Method of Strategic Operation, was driven by the generation of “field contacts” documented in the contact card system and their resulting statistical enumerations.
Some candidates have little or no arrest activity and again have wound up at the bottom band of the statistical trash heap. Case reports are generally associated with arrest activity highlighting all that measurable crime fighting productivity seem to have not been tabulated or even attributed to many of the merit picks. Unless some of these “candidates” have been typing or handwriting case reports and arrest reports, it seems that this is not a determining factor in choosing the right officer for promotion to an investigative position.
How about a 500 question multiple choice exam scantronned as you leave out the door. You know your score and soon will know your ranking as the last person exits the exam hall. Six months or more is a long time to manipulate and score exams subjective exams.
OT: Once again we have a sworn member retiring to take a civilian job, essentially doubling the annual salary by collecting a sworn pension AND a current salary at the same time. Sgt. K.C. is now the director of Research and Development, joining one of the most notorious double-dippers, retired lieutenant and current Assistant Director of R&D Jim H. I can't wait for this nonsense to come crashing down on the heads of the scammers. I sincerely hope that these people go to jail.
Can someone explain how a civilian employee can nominate a police officer to detective?
Can someone explaine how a police officer given title of director can promote another officer to detective?
I ask this with 30 years on job. And given one chance at merit promotion. But when the boss retired my merit application was pulled.
I think someone has some explaining to do.
Hey IG where are you when it comes to promotions off of a list when the promoters are retired.
How do any of these retired bosses know if this was the guy they wanted for merit is the same one picked on this list
Yes this was earned and not given.
What you do not recall is when Huberman tried to use a merit spot for someone. They jumped all over him since he never worked his way up.
From Officer to exempt and then they find out how bad a supervisor he was.
Anyone out there recall when Huberman went to Washington DC and dressed up in exempt uniform while the rest of department was in working uniforms
This is what this Department gets for merit or spot promotions. Like Holt.
I thought CAPS was dead

Who the hell ever promised all you folks that it is legit and everything is fair on the up and up?
You complain about clout but if you have a phone call to make you use it. In my 28 years I know of one (1) PO who had the integrity and decency to not call people to get a promotion. One and he had people to call. He just refused to ever go that route. I commend him. Very few like that.
No rules for merit
Just what the management wants deaf dumb and blind members.
earned not given is the best, is that on the police advertisement?
Is there a certain merit pick who goes by the self nickname of, "Paladin or The Knight in Blue!!??"
Does this certain "Paladin" ask too many stupid, stupid questions?
Its nice to have a phone call.
The PP taste so good the PP taste so good
Save my job??? Listen douche...you can put your career in their hands, but no thanks. Stop sucking those merit poles..and have some pride...
To my Fellow former Englewood Ranger F.H. Congrats my Friend. You're a hard working copper and stand up guy. Congrats again !!! Go get em House of Pain !!!!
I see a couple of names on that list who I know are hard working coppers and will make great Detectives. I am a Det myself, list not merit, but I hold nothing against them.
BV and JD have arrested more in one week than some other "more deserving" have made in a career. Merit or not, If I ever need a detective to straighten out my shit I will be relieved at the sight of either of you showing up. Well deserved! Congrats
Gotta love the guys who rip on the coppers that do well on the test...they say hey they are just good test takers while saying the merit guys are workers. This department is so turned around that guys that test well are looked down upon as some kind of book readin nerd and the guys that test shitty as the hard workin cpd

You might be a Civil War buff, but most who read your post won't know what 'seen the elephant' means.

Let's face facts. The promotional process sucks. Probably the most legit process was the last k9 exam. The reading list wasn't a huge list of orders but you had to study to do well. The physical exam wasn't the spartan race but you still needed to prepare for it. Everyone was given the scenarios ahead of time to allow them to prepare for them but could not use any notes. I know of at least 3 people with a lot of wack that got turned away for being late to one of the processes. But the dept didn't even hire 10 people from that list before having a new test. Peoples, people have to get those spots.

Sgt. K.C. was always a working copper and a great tact/gang sgt. You must have been one the the DOGS she dumped from one of her teams. STFU and or go tell someone who might really give a shit. We don't.
Any of you dinosaurs out there still remember when a meritorious dick spot was only given to someone who was shot or seriously injured in the line of duty?
OK, in that case what I meant by "he has seen the elephant, stared him down and won" is that Jason has been involved in at least one shooting that I can recall and went home at the end of the day while the guy that tried to kill him did not.
Same reason all those "retired" commanders got picks. Really?!
Affirmative action for the clouted -- bring it on!

There's a bigger scam afloat. She doesn't have 29 and a day yet. Is she on a LOA or retired or some BS status made up by the Sup and Tracy.
How about the Det to be at the academy bragging about going to area north because he is a relative of an alderman. C'mon ! Really. You haven't even graduated.
"""

It means "been under fire" or in "a shooting".
This particular officer isnt alone in that but if he's a good copper and got the nod then good for him.

You forgot to mention the interview. You know the one that determined your entire score. Real fucking legit.
Why would a less stringent testing procedure combined with an interview be considered more legit?
So F##ken what. I know at least half that list. They are good coppers who went above and beyond to do their jobs. More than I can say for some of the bitches who constantly post shit on this site. God bless to all who made it, merit or rank order. It's a great position to be in.

What happened to the new law or ordinance passed a few years ago that stated you couldn't retire from the city, collect a city pension and then go to work or get a city job? Could it be she stays on the job as sworn and make up the difference when she retires at directors pay and when she has 29 and a day.

Being a detective is about having patience to seat at a computer for long hours to comb through the horribly written case reports and contact cards looking for viable leads. Having a through knowledge of the law, so you know what you can or can't do and to repair the fuck ups that the A/o's did that would destroy the case or get them sued or sent to prison. Being able to be secure enough in yourself to know that you are in way over your head and ask for help. Being organized and having ability to mange time. Be able to talk to people without getting frustrated. Having attention to detail. It's a marathon not a sprint! In my opinion its for officers who have been there and done that and now it's time to slow down. Most of your days are spent inside looking at a computer moving the X and connecting the dots. If you are the type of officer who likes to be outside and putting hands on, detective is not for you, you'll be bored. So yes I think officers with about 17 YOJ or more are ideal candidates.

Another possibility is that she takes a leave from CPD, goes to the 'new' job as a civilian, but is allowed to continue to contribute to her CPD pension, which will allow to her 'retire' maxed out.
I don't know if that would benefit her somehow, or not. Maybe there's an issue with how her healthcare gets paid. Maybe there's something we haven't thought of. Heck, maybe the whole story isn't even true.
I'm in the class & over 45.... I want OT & VC. I've always worked will continue to work, have the numbers to prove it, and a girl.... just love shit talkers.

It's an interesting historical phrase. There's a story behind it, dating back to he Civil War. It's got nothing to do with someone getting over themselves; it's just a minute or two where you learn something you never knew before. Chill.

Another possibility is that she takes a leave from CPD, goes to the 'new' job as a civilian, but is allowed to continue to contribute to her CPD pension, which will allow to her 'retire' maxed out.
I don't know if that would benefit her somehow, or not. Maybe there's an issue with how her healthcare gets paid. Maybe there's something we haven't thought of. Heck, maybe the whole story isn't even true.

The "law" of which you speak was crafted by none other than our own Don O'Neil. Don left one little loop hole which he took advantage of: it didn't apply to anyone hired before the law was enacted. Clever, huh?
Lets be honest...JM from 025 should stop writting under sgt s. Other officers have been shot.....yes shot and ended the shooter and still in a beat car the sit....how much ass was kissed to make this fake? Truth be told stop writing under that pen name so your classmates stop teasing g you thin skin. Your a merit accept it as you will accept the Honor's of the title. Stop your b.s. stories at the back of the class as no one cares how many contact cards you wrote.
Kevin Ryan gets two picks?

*******************************
everybody gets a certain amount of picks. not every boss gets a pick that they made get used. If a boss puts in 5 people and there are 5 classes he might not get any picks in two of the classes and one class he might get 3 picks and the other two classes he might get one pick each yada yada yada. not every bosss gets their pick used each list.
hahahah, I love all the jealous and bitter people on here who are so mad at the merit picks. Hey, ive been on plenty of lists where I have been high on the list or on the bubble. Everytime a list comes out I knew people were merit. SO WHAT!!! You are mad because either you took the same test and didnt score well.. You didnt put in for merit with your district commander because you were too lazy, bitter at the system or the big one is that you were/are a dog who really has never done any work. Or, you are so miserable that you didnt take the test at all and are just bitter and mean just because its the "cool thing" to be these days. Listen, merit exists. Get over it. I dont care if people are dogs or workers, if they can get merit and get a promotion then so be it.. Thats the way it goes sometimes. Listen, this is a job and only a job.. not life. If your really sitting at home this miserable and bitter then homelife must be awesome! Your families must be so happy to have to be around a miserable mean prick all day long. I mean come on... Do you really let merit picks, the mayor, the supt, contact cards, comstat and how many shootings and homicides really happen each weekend bother you when your home????? Who cares who is promoted to where. Listen, Ive been a blue shirt for 27 years. Im completly content with riding in my beat car every morning working 99. I get my cup or coffee in the morning. Cruise around for a while and answer my jobs. Talk to people on my jobs and write them paper if they want. I do that for 9 hours and go home to my family. end of story. Its a good job. I am a blue shirt. I am not in city hall or 35th street... nothing of what happens there effects the inside of my beat car whatsoever. every morning its the same thing every day. Im happy. 18 months and I will be gone... Its a nice easy way to ease myself into retirement. You guys get yourselves caught up in way too much drama these days. somebody made merit dic? merit sgt? merit LT. GREAT! Im still doing my pretty easy job in my car and doing a good job at it. I always back up my friends, always make a report when I should and promptly clear my jobs. go home and then my life really starts. the job is good. YOU MAKE THE JOB BAD FOR YOURSELF! learn not to get caught up in the BS... I really has nothing to do with us. Even a crappy boss cant effect you if you do your job good enough to stay off the radar. couple parkers, maybe an anov.. maybe a mover if the mood strikes me and I get between 3-7 contact cars a shift on my beat. Very easy. couple reports, couple contact cards and a couple parkers. maybe an arrest when an offender is on scene from a call and your golden. good stuff. dont sweat the small stuff guys.

Well there's a reason your still pushing a beat car doing contact cards you imbecile-you can't even see the forest from the tree! If you wanted promotions based on race, sexual orientation or working polling places in the 11th ward you should have taken a job at Streets and Sanitation, the Park District, or the outfit laden water department.
