No Openings?

Last month, there were two, count em, one...two, openings citywide in 019.

This month, there are zero. Why?

There are a few sergeant openings, mostly south, but some west and north.

But nothing for the P.Os.

Hey all the beefer, former and present of Mr. Weis......miss him yet? We never see his name mentioned here anymore.
Now some should admit that he was far better then Hillard and Cline.
Jody wasFair in everyway and let' not dwell on the Bill C incident and him alleged to flee from shots fire on the south-side.
Live with the prest Supt, cause he is not leaving her for a few more years !

Sgts are only 40 short right now. Normally in November and December between 50-60 sgts retire. This year only 4 sgts in November and 2 in December. Know why?? Because 85 percent of the sgts are young now. Word around is that it's gonna be another long wait for this sgts list. Estimates is that they will only get up to 375 or so on this list max.. And that could still be all the way in 7-8 years from now. I was just short of enough time to take the last test... Now I wait 9 years to take this test and get 445 on this one.. Now next test might be 10 years or so now? Maybe 9? Which means I'll have over 20 years taking that test then what wait 6-7 years to make it if I do ok on it.. Wtf. Hey sgts.. Just pull the pin and retire so they can get through this list and give another test. Yes, I'm being a complete whiner.. I agree.

Don't think that makes sense we all know some old timers that pulled the plug in these last few months and the department plays dumb.This is why morale is down citywide some guys will never be able to transfer until they have 10 years on.

The openings for Sergeants are bid spots that the City is contractually obligated to post for city-wide bidding every quarter.

Rahm would lose nearly every vote in the 19th District if those voters were fully informed of the loss of personnel in their neighborhood and the broken promises made upon closure.

You have wealth redistribution, and Police Redistribution. It's the socialist way. The hard working tax paying citizens do not need all that money or police. You do not need that big pension either, a pension is supposed to allow you to live comfortably in retirement not enjoy your golden years you were lucky to make it to. I know we promised it to you when you were hired,But you fucked up, you trusted us! Signed your mayor

"The Chicago Sun-Times broke the law when it published the heights and weights of Chicago cops who acted as “fillers” in a police lineup in the David Koschman case, a federal appeals court has ruled.

In a ruling that bolsters the officers’ lawsuit against the Sun-Times, the 7th Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled Friday that the height, weight, eye and hair color, and months and years of birth of five cops who stood alongside Mayor Richard M. Daley’s nephew Richard “R. J.” Vanecko in the lineup were all “private information” that was improperly obtained from the officers’ driver’s licenses." - from the Sun-Times Blog

Hey stupid....those only come AFTER the contract has expired, negotiations have stalled for several years and THEN a NEW contract is voted on and ratified by both the members and the city. Once that is done, the city has a certain number of days (the actual amount escapes me right now) to pay up and they always wait until the very last day to do so. Oh yeah, the retro only covers the time frame from when the contract actually expired to the date the new one was accepted by the city.

So if you're waiting on that to pay for a new jar of hair gel, you're better off collecting cans. LOL

Oh and show me who works for 15 bucks an hour, give me names and what company they are working for. I don't know ONE COP who works for 15 an hour. Don't spew bullshit you idiot. Oh and if you can't get Special Employment then you have less than 7 years on the job. Thats 35 bucks an hour.

oh right, you mean the guy who retired a few years ago.. yeah, I think hes pretty satisfied with just attending the meetings and staying in the fold and being the man who goes to springfield every now and then. Unlike you, who will have to still sit around after retirement and talk shop still with the guys and still "miss" the police department some people like to just retire and leave it alone. why start crap when retired. hes not the president anymore and im sure wants out of the spotlight.

I like to think of myself as a wise WOMAN, 0117.

And, I worked on enough joint operations with different feds that I know some are good, some not so good, so I don't judge by labels.

My comment was directed at the OP, who loves to post antagonistic comments, just to stir the pot here.

As for Jody, I do happen to know him, way back from when he was a fed, and I think he's a narcissistic jerk who's never met a mirror or a tv camera he didn't like. He's shown himself to be vindictive and petty in his prior career, as well as on CPD. He's also sorely lacking in policing experience. (Note, I said 'policing', not 'law enforcement'. He had a long fed career pushing paper.)

As for having him work alongside me, he's shown a repeated lack of judgment and I wouldn't take a chance on losing my life because of him.

No one hears Cozzi complain because he is a great guy and it's not in his nature. I am floored that you are a cheerleader for Jodi.

For the record, a lot of officers were cautiously hopeful that an ex-fed would have a good effect on the Department. What we got was a narcissistic boob that didn't have a clue and carried Mayor Daley's water. We had hoped he would put him in jail.

Jodi was a dope in over his head. Garry is a megalomaniac that thinks he knows it all and is Rahm's puppet. You just have to look at his promotions to know that. Picking one over the other is a waste of time. Their tenures are both disappointing to the legit guys and a failure on any level.

I had a confidential CR on me that stretched on for two years. States Attorney, US Attorney etc were asked to look into it. Complainant had clout. Jody found all of the counts against me, (at least 8) ALL unfounded or exonerated. All of them. That killed the cvil suit. Complainant came back for another turn at bat. Jody ordered IAD to give the same results as the first time using the file on the 1st complainant as justification.

I was amazed. Jody did me a solid and also the 8 PO's accused along with me. I have no complaints about the man. Certain retiree has his beef, a PO got too much punishment but he took care of me and I never met him.

He ran counter to Daley and got us the 4 and 2. Also M4 carbines. And training. No complaints here.

Jodi tried to but back our love with the 4 & 2. Pathetic for a leader. The carbines were a long time coming. Why didn't you give him credit for the Tahoe's like the rest of the Jodi apologists? Oh yeah, they suck and what were we going to do without cars, walk to our calls?

Jodi and the current guy are huge failures that have crushed this Department's spirit. Big deal you say? It is insanity to run towards gunfire. It is crazy to run into gang fights. It is soul stealing to work holidays away from your family. It is nuts to be punched at, spit on and hated 9 hours a day.

You need a little reason to go out and do that every day. When there is no love for your job, that is difficult. These "leaders" have done more damage than you can possibly imagine.

Not true. McCarthy has saved many po's on beefs. In fact FOP complimented him several times in the newsletter on actions hes taken to help po's. What about veterans returning injured from Iraq being put on light duty?
