I'm going to beg, plea do whatever this time around to try to get merit. I've got 19 years on now and last test I was "too proud" to ask or accept merit... Forget that!!! If I don't get made in this test I never will and I'm done playin the police game. With this department do whatever you can to get made even if that means making as many cslls as you can. If mutt secretaries get merit why should I feel "ashamed" to get it. Not this time, if u can get merit take it!! Of suffer in a beat car for the rest of your years.
Class will be in September
Dean jr is on the list.
City and fop letting dean jr take upcoming lieutenant test.
I hope it's a big class...
Does anyone know the percentage of merit promoted? And where can you find that in writing? Everyone at FOP has just sat down to a meeting whenever I call.
More sergeant''s for what stop wasting tax payers money they no need for more sergeants we need more police officer's idiots .
I have allot of part 1's this year. This that good enough?
When and how many? Anyone know?
I don't have a phone call. Hell I don't even have a phone.
I forgot who to call.
Great...more Chiefs. Exactly what this department needs, more people NOT answering calls
Who cares! I'm ready to leave this crooked city and crooked police dept.!
slurp slurp
Made my call darned it all me clout retired, sorry I forgot I'm retiring in September 29 and a day in blue shirt will miss the coppers the thugs and ghettos will always be the same never change! Got on 29 years ago was going to make a change, the only thing I changed was clothes everyday, got older but this job with extra special paid off my home, 4 cars paid, 2 kids through college 100% paid, not a bad job. Best advice "protect each other" want to keep marriage together especially fathers after your tour "go home" be the family! Thanks to all the coppers I worked with some passed RIP!
More sergeants? They're already tripping over each other. How about some detectives to help handle all these shootings and murders???
How do you get merit what is the process??

I must say I agree with you. This day and age get out of a beat car. Take it any way you can get it weather test or merit. Too many people hating the players and not the game. I agree with you 100 percent... Monday morning I will be at his office asking if he would consider me. Not too proud anymore. This is a whole different department. If you don't ask for merit you're stupid and have no reason to complain. Yes, the chances are slim to none but hey you might as well try.

Not exactly. I've noticed more sgts coming up on the air to answer calls when beat cars are tied up. It's happening more frequently. Don't know if they are obliged to, but either way I don't remember hearing them answering calls years back.
1054am....go back to slepp in your moms basement and dont come out till you get some time on the job kid.
Study Guide For Making Rank By Merit,
Cut Deputy's Lawn,
Sleep With Older, Ugly, Gold Star Boss,
Keep Quiet About That Politician You Caught In A Compromising Position,
Buy Tickets To Every Political Fundraiser,
Be A Relative By Birth Or Marriage To Someone Higher Up,
Get In Tight With Powerful Union Boss, Any Union,
But Don't Be Dumb Enough To Think You Can Get Promoted By Merit Because Of Arrests You Made, Or Crime You Solved.
I wasted my phone call on a tac spot in 015. Oh well, at least I'm guaranteed to never work a pathetic beat car again. Who would ever want to leave 015?!?!?!?
"How do you get merit what is the process?" - 10:54 AM
I can answer your question metaphorically if not literally with one word.
FELLATIO
When is the deadline, and any rumor how many will be made?
Time for "Pay -to- Play". Get those envelopes to your Alderman stuffed, people
More sergeants? They're already tripping over each other. How about some detectives to help handle all these shootings and murders???
5/30/2015 10:05:00 AM
Dont need either one. Just more political nonsense, and more Sgts or Det's will not put a single dent in all the killing and violence in Chi-raq.

You are the reason they need more sergeants. You call them idiots? Really. "they no need." "sergeant's" "officer's." They need two sergeants on your watch just to correct your grammar. We won't even get into the contents of your reports. Your writing looks like you had a hard time in 6th grade and you are criticizing!
How about some more operation impact officers so we can get more than 2 pO's getting a day off every day!!!
Hell yeah! Only 350 or so more to go until I'm in bitches! I'm going to go buy my white shirts now so I can beat the rush.
Dean jr getting made? Of course Dean already sold us out. Thought Shields was bad the devil we knew was much better this deceiver!
When is the next class????????????????

Be born into a connected family.
Find the shoebox or the hard drive with the compromising pictures.
Know the truth about the Zach incident.
Look really good in a short skirt.
Or be very, very good at, well, uh...

If that's how you spell, and how you construct sentences, no. You need not apply.
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
Off topic but extremely important...
All the newer Sgt's with their year in grade are just waiting till the new Lt Exam is taken on 06 June to file a grivance and start a class action lawsuit because they were denied the right to take the Lt Exam.
Several groups of Sgts that reached their year in grade in May & June 1st of this year 2015 will be denied their chance to take the exam. The city stated the only requirement to take the test is 1 year in grade. Now that they have their year in grade but are still denied their right to take the exam they can grieve with the city.
I am part of the May 2014 class of sgt's. I am all ready for the legal challenge. I know the next LT Exam will not happen again till 2023.
Get ready for a legal fight. I will not sit back quietly and let the city run over me. I have my year in grade, I should be able to take the exam on June 6th.
Call the union boys & girls or you will miss out on the only Lt Exam many of us will ever see!!!!
Here it comes...........
I know most all of us are pretty cynical, and as well we should living and working in this crooked city. There is no doubt that this process will be flooded with political influence of both the politician and reverend variety, however it is still a chance for even a couple otherwise qualified people to get promoted.
We should all keep in mind that everyone will get a chance to submit their resume and interview with their respective exempt boss. For many of us that may not be enough as someone may tip the scale knowing the right person, but hell if it isn't worth a shot. If you are sitting anywhere south of 100 on the current list it would be in your best interest to get you ducks in a row. If you have been a dog ass for years and have no quality work to show, don't shit on those that have busted their ass and stayed out of trouble in these terrible times to be the police. If you choose to be a bitter, angry, cynical jag off that refuses to do anything proactive for yourself, well expect nothing in return. I have met and worked around people that are so falsely jaded based on exactly zero personal experience whom have only succeeded in gaining weight. For them I have no interest and refuse to lump them under the title of Police officer, to me they are just city employees pulling a bullshit undeserved salary. The Thin Blue Line is great and all, but it should not be blind.
The testing process is okay, but it is far from fair across the board. For that matter neither is the Merit process, but for better or worse they are the processes we currently operate under. It is a shame when people are promoted that haven't touched a hand cuff in several years, if ever, but it happens. To think that only happens because of poor merit choices is stupid. Plenty of house mice get ample time and assistance to score well on tests too.
I can tell you I will put my best foot forward, did pretty good on the test in the grand scheme but I will take anything I can get. If I don't so be it, should have worked harder on the test in order to choose my own fate. Purely on me.

It's a two horse race in 009 to get the nod in the Merit Derby.
First, the perennial Sgt merit pick (7 years running) is "Left Behind" formerly known as the "C/O's Neighbor" with the Kodiak Kid riding him hard looking for another merit win after Left Behind's stablemate "Thats Not Happening" grabbed Detective last time around. He's going to be challenged hard by "Colonel's Kid" a real mudder whose been a bully on the track. He's ridden by Coach Bradley Buzzcut whose been jockeying the Kid into every possible box 1 or 2 he can.
So it's anyone guess who the C/O is going to pick.
The early line:
7/5 Left Behind
2/1 Colonel's Kid
July class
Ugh yeah, I worked undercover narcotics... Can I get made AGAIN?
anyone wishing to be promoted please notify ald Patrick daley Thompson of the 11th ward.
BF did u make your call for EF or saving it for Marine Unit..Gotta love this department. Go Black Hawks!!!!
A scoop for you SCC, and as usual you will be the rags to the punch: Eric Holder will be installed as the head of an oversight agency which will have IG type authority over CPD and IPRA. I'll save my opinions for the future, I just wanted to get it out there. If I was making this up I'd come up with something much funnier-I'm not. It's real. (Also, McCarthy is PISSED about it)
Any word on class size
Everyone complaining about sergeants are the same ones who either didn't take the test or bombed it cause they didn't give a shit. Have some fucking drive and try to do better and stop talking shit about people who are actually trying. Why the hell would I wanna stay a blue shirt for and deal with the nonsense. Stop with "I didn't take the test cause of this or that" and "I could have studied and done well but I don't want it". Yeah whatever. You dont want an extra 30 g a year and more towards your pension that's your choice. You wanna be a patrolman forever that's your choice but stop knocking people trying to do more With their careers.
Re, dean jr and lt. Test. U gotta get something for selling out the members with that bullshit contract.
(OT) just watched a preview of 60 minutes tomorrow night at 1800 hours they interview the embattled police chief of Cleveland he seems like he speaks up for his officers, along with the police union! Hope you're watching Dean!!
I forgot who to call.
588-2300!

Doubt it. Holder talks too much shit and will have Chicago looking like New York, Baltimore, and Fergueson by the end of the summer. You think Rahm is dropping that 5 mill on a shooting so Holder can come in and piss all over it? No.
125 recruits graduating over the next 6 weeks. This sgts class will be called up the week after 4th of July. Small class of 40 sgts. Small number of merit picks so the process won't drag on too long. New sgts will graduate in time for the ppos to leave their cycles for operation impact where these new sgts along with others will be assigned.
Does anyone know the percentage of merit promoted? And where can you find that in writing? Everyone at FOP has just sat down to a meeting whenever I call.
5/30/2015 05:05:00 AM
@@@@@@
There is no set number. One class it could be 12 percent the next class it could be 25 percent. McCarthy has been averaging between 18-22 percent merit per class.

I made Sgt then too Einstein. The city's requirement is two years in grade to sit for the lieutenants test. Who are the other idiots you've recruited for legal action? It's gonna suck when your attorney informs you that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Maybe the city knows what its doing not letting you be a lieutenant. Nice finish with the condescending "boys and girls". You must be the prize of the impact zone sergeants.
How many will make it from the "Dillon" study group ? We all know baby Daddy #1 made the first class. Baby Daddy #2 will make the next class. Can the princess make it also? My guess would be yes.

Boo fucking hoo...I have been a sgt for ten years with this being my first opportunity to take a Lt.'s exam. So wait your fucking turn. How about learning how to be a sgt first..

5/30/2015 08:10:00 PM
What about not taking it because you're already a detective? About the only plus to it then would be a slightly better pension.
Do you need to take the exam and pass it to be eligible or can I just be made?

If you're making this up, " I was in this neighborhood bar and the bartender told me!"
Me?? I could give a flyin BOINK!
Is it true that an officer could have a 160 IQ, an unblemished record, hold the all-time CPD career record for Part One felony arrest incidents yet retire after 30 years without a promotion, "merit" or otherwise, while still pushing a beat car?

Like so many on this job you really don't pay attention to anything important. Holder is out of office.
Hey Mr. one year in grade. Wait your turn like everyone else has done. I know Sgt's who have been waiting 10 plus years to take this test because they fell short of the required THREE years in grade. Much more deserving than your "I'm entitled" little bitch ass

Agreed. It feels good if a boss approaches you and offers a merit pick because of your work ethic etc...It's a little tougher to come hat in hand and ask. But the bottom line is, you want to take of your family and asking for that chance is nothing to be ashamed of yourself. Good luck to all. And if not lucky, being a patrolman their entire career is nothing to be ashamed of. Very honorable to say the least. They are the hard workers of this dept and should never be forgotten.

======================================================
Certainly could be true, but also a great example of wasted talent. A 160 IQ needs to be doing something a bit different.
With merit being asked for ....it will be almost a year before the next class....interviews take a long time.

....I believe it is a two year in grade requirement but I understand your logic here. Myself and several Sgt classmates were discussing this topic the other day. We have our two years in grade know so its only fair to open up the Lt exam to our class since they moved the date back several months!!
I signed up and paid for the Lt test paid for study group but this department has beaten me down that im not going to take it.
Sucky suckhole xo's and commanders who know it all and take care of no one. Yeah take the test the spend the rest of my career in some shitty district on midnights fuck that. 2and hf years left the goodbye!

You bet your ass it is. Meanwhile you have connected people with IQ's in the 90's that have never made a felony arrest calling the shots as exempts. You also have sergeants, lieutenants, and captains that wouldn't stand out exceptionally if they were flipping burgers at McDonald's. That's just the way it is kid. Do your job, stay safe, and retire early.

good for you... now, stop being selfish. When you retire make sure you and your wife are taken care of and live a great retirement. waaaaaaahhhhhhhh, ive been beaten down. I just cant handle studying my behind off, getting in the first two classes and getting promoted.. stick around to get a Lt pension and ride off into the sunset with your wife with some nice extra change in your pocket and for retirement. Your wife/significant other would appreciate being able to take a few extra trips in retirement, a nicer car etc. if you maxed out in deferred etc good for you, still get more money.. dont rely on deferred only. get that Lt pension, dont be selfish to yourself and your wife... you blame the dept but its just you being lazy and a quitter crybaby. good, leave in 2 1/2 years.. we sure as hell dont need your crybaby whiner ass here.
