Deadline Moved Again
- The deadline to apply for the Chicago Police Department is right around the corner, yet the very people the police are trying to attract are not exactly lining up for the jobs.
The push for new recruits, especially black and Hispanic, comes on the heels of controversial police shootings, the department’s promise to increase diversity and a need to replace retiring officers. Yet many of the nearly hundred chairs were empty.
This is at least the second "extension." In November, the deadline was extended a month to January 16. Now it's an additional 14 days. Rahm should just think about reverting to the old days when you showed up at the aldercreatures' ward office with an envelope, and they gave you a badge and a starting date later that month.

Damn...
Start at $47K and a raise to $72K after 18 months?
There are people on this job who didn't see $72K
until it was time for a gold star on heir left sleeve...
Normal people aren't as TOTALLY stupid as Rahm & Co.
wished they were.
They KNOW the #blm mob and the ACLU have turned
this job into pure dammit shit as the "Communerty"
has demanded...
Watch for any semblance of standards to go by the wayside
"For Us, By Us" Policing is finally implemented.
Also known as:
The Cocked-Hat Public Safety & Customer Service Force
of Chicago...
"Policing" will cease as upright citizens know it and need it.
"Policing" will be a curious and arcane cultural relic tucked
away in the minds of old, conservative, bitterly clinging
white ethnics, funny thinking "Uncle Tom" blacks and others
such who have failed to embrace the Alinskyite Progressivism
running rampant in America's large, democrat controlled
urban centers.
If you're not aligned with the "mob" and those who provide
material support to it, you don't have a damned thing coming
to you but a hard way to go and a short time to get there.
Police like you have no friends...
Yeah. Good old days. Better than begging.
Well, I'm having no problem whatsoever recruiting.
....... Okay, I'll say it:
They're just dying to sign up.
Chalkie
Who the fuck would want this job these days. The only occupation where you do your job and they want to fire you, sue you and put you in jail. No thanks.
Less than 5000 completed the on-line applications.
Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
"Rahm should just think about reverting to the old days when you showed up at the aldercreatures' ward office with an envelope, and they gave you a badge and a starting date later that month."
Do you want to work with the mutts that Ali-Rahma and his Fifty Thieves would dredge up?
If they are anything like the alder-thieves, they'd jack the squad, boost the evidence locker, and sell the firearmsand drugs.
I would not want my own family to sign up to try and police this shit show. And I would not blame you if you all quit tomorrow.
I do not know how you will ever get the 2,000 to 3,000 new officers that Chicago will need?
Riddle me this Batman. According the the 2010 Census Bureau the city's racial breakdown is as follows:
White 31.7% ( By white they are including, Indian, Arabian and Asian)
Black 32.9%
Hispanic 28.9%
The breakdown of the CPD by race according to several websites. (Wiki, Mother Jones, NY Times etc.) My numbers are the approximate stats as each site has slightly different numbers.
White 48% (remember, white includes Indian, Asian and Arabian)
Black 32%
Hispanic 20%
Why is there such a HUGE push to get more blacks on the CPD if they are perfectly represented by the racial breakdown of their % of the city's population?
Of course the newspaper writes, "CPD attempting to get more minority applicants." The only thing I see on the news are black female P.O's, giving talks in black neighborhoods, to ONLY black people.
Isn't this discrimination?
All coppers know there are way more Hispanics in the city than the accounted for number. Why isn't there a push to hire more of them? They are the ones underrepresented according to the statistics. What Hispanic communities is this push being conducted in?
The hypocrisy doesn't end there. The city is giving 5 bonus points to your test score if you graduated from a CPS High School. 5 points is a HUGE advantage on a test to 100 points.
The city knows that 92% of CPS graduates are minorities.
This is blatant discrimination.
This is unfair to people who went to catholic schools, suburban applicants, foreigners, GED recipients and out of state applicants. This is not even a veiled attempt to hide discrimination.
Lets not forget certain clergymen and elected officials who state the next Superintendent HAS to be black. Why? It's because they are completely racist.
This city has a long way to go before all races are treated equally. The problem is, is that the news media are targeting the wrong offenders.
Who do I call to get on the List?
Pandering to an audience (who the majority) won't even be able to pass the standard. So then what? Lower the standard of course and take out some requirements. Let's see how low rhamen noodle will sink. After all, you are trained to justifiably shoot someone if need be, by the power vested by the state. The requirements/standard is probably you don't want to toy with in the name of "diversity."
72K after 18 months and they can't find anyone to take this job!
Who in their right mind would want to deal with this shit for the next 30 years the way things are today?
Who want's to work midnight's for at least half of that in some shit hole district?
Not many apparently.
From a CPD History Project:
"...and they gave you a badge, a bolt of cloth and told you to go get a uniform made and report back later that month. Training was a fifteen minute talk by a Inspector and you were ready to go."
The work ethic that built this country has been destroyed by the Democommunists of the LBJ Great Society Generation. Generations of people do not have to work to eat, to get medical care or housing. They only have to VOTE and procreate.
New waves will be coming here as they have now come to Europe. They are invading, establishing their settlements and overturning our laws and everything we have worked for.
I do not know how you will ever get the 2,000 to 3,000 new officers that Chicago will need?
1/28/2016 01:59:00 AM
Dropping the residency for new hires has probably entered their minds........maybe not. That would take a brain.
5000? The city will be lucky to have a 1000 after the power and drug test.
Good luck Rahmie. You and your kind have eliminated the right kind of person. They don't want the job because of your pandering horseshit.
You'd have to be one dumb, clueless, otherwise unemployable, oblivious moron to take this job now. Think about that. The people who willingly decide to become the Chicago police in this climate aren't exactly the ones you'd want showing up when you call the police. Lower the standards, lower the age, lower everything, and you get lower quality applicants. No surprises there. At least not to anyone with common sense. If you make it easier for lower quality applicants to take the job at a time when you're looking to increase professionalism, community relations, and hold officers to an even higher standard, you're just shooting yourself in the foot. You want the best and brightest, so you cater to the least qualified. Good plan. Let's see how that plays out. This used to be a great job, then a good job, then an ok job. Now, it's the best way to go to prison for doing your job the right way. If you have any sense, don't take this job now.
The city needs to stop drug testing.
Any copper that would encourage his kid to be a copper is either dumb as a box of rocks or is so juiced up that the kid doesn't see one minute of the streets and moves right up the chain at 35th st.
FOP the tea leaves are showing that the salary is to low to be a patrolman!
All this paperwork and lack or worker rights make the current salary schedule out of date.
Add the college degree, No weed smoking ever, living in the City and lack of real promotions.
Once the City starting throwing the real police under the bus is when peopl took notice.
Remember 70% will not pass the drug test and background checks unless they turn a blind eye to the standards! So how many does that leave left to be hired! Then how about the 70% of those who are left who may be fine citizens and drug free but cannot pass the test unless the standards are lowered. Total mess that Rahm and Daley got us into.
I'll take the job. For the money Gary was paid. Once a day walk out on the balcony of your office on 35th street, over look the throngs of reporters, open the envelope and look down at the crowd.
Rham says crime is down!!!
The crowd cheers, applause follows and roses are thrown.
You walk back into your office and dramatically close the door while waving.
Repeat everyday. How is that bad?
Had heart murmer see the cigar chopper, kid how big is your stack, to get made.
I would not want my own family to sign up to try and police this shit show. And I would not blame you if you all quit tomorrow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The money and benefits are still good FOR NOW.
Unless you can get a job that pays $100,000.. go for it and be a do nothing fetal report writer with a gun like me.
Maybe lawyers from the ACLU and other "progressive" libtards should be drafted to be the police. Send them into these shithole neighborhoods. They might learn some things and unlearn many of the "truths" of which they are so positice.
College education is nice. I have a bachelors degree. Fortunately I unlearned a lot of the bullshit shoveled at me by professors who had no clue.
I worked with and learned from a lot of great coppers who had no sheepskin. Most of them were smarter and more down to earth than almost all of my professors.
Sure.....come join the circus.....
With 9 1/2 as the ultimate boss of the CPD....
He was the creator of NAFTA.....thanks a lot....
His brother is the creator of ObamaCare.....again, thanks a lot.....
Don't see why anyone would join this fiasco now.....even for 72K
Even the 3 year wonders on the job are literally counting the days to retirement......
So if you are under 50, or have less than 20 years on, take advantage of every educational benefit this job offers....
Line up a new career, and G.T.F. Out!
Stay safe, my brothers and sisters......YOU are all you have......go home each night to those who love you and need you.
Both my ex wife and I are the police and we both talked her kids out taking the exam. I'm the ex step dad and she has good kids. We married when they were 4 and 6 and they are now 18 and 20. We both told them not to bother. I think the generational police families will be dwindling.
My prediction: In the next 10 yrs the biggest fight will be between blacks and Hispanics. Brown will be the new White.
Yeah, prospective applicants probably don't want to have to live in this shit hole. I personally know several well-qualified applicants who were ex-military, squared-away guys who would've been good on this job, but they passed in favor of other jobs because of residency.
And are a lot happier and worry less because of it.
I wouldnt allow my kid to join. I never hid from him what a fucked up outfit this is.
If I had to do it all over again, I would open a hot dog stand instead.
It's funny. I tried to find the online application by googling (chicago police department online application).
The first four links which appear are from Chicago itself, and it's not clear how to even access the application. They are dead-ends.
You have to get routed through ABC7 (fifth link down) who gives the proper destination.
Maybe they should allow cops to live out of the city; maybe anywhere in Cook County so they can get a larger number of possible recruits to apply.
So far this is the lowest application rate in decades!
Way to go Rham.
If the city requires a drug test there will be no one coming on the job.
So with the lack of supply of police officers we current officers are in demand. So laws of supply and demand dictate we should be able to demand more money. Time to demand 4% a year increase per year going forward. Time to make up for the 0% and 1% raises.
POWER Test will dump most applicants
Wow, I cannot wait to see the cream of the crop that want this job now?
Who in their right mind would want to take a job where you are more likely going to be indicted for your actions then make it to promotion or just retirement.
Just look at the Administration that is being promoted to command this department?
I have been here for 29 years. Passed each promotional test and still work in the hood pushing a car from job to job. I am disgusted with the way the department and system works here. And all the young guns coming on the job think this will change.
Just the other day one of the hard chargers had enough and just walked out of roll call. Why because the Supervisor was acting like he knew what he was doing. Like walking out will change anything.
If you sign up for this job you accept that you may be a cop for 29 years and no matter how well you test you will remain a BEAT COP.
There is always a phone call that beats your test scores
Get rid of college. Get them right out of high school like the army, before they get corrupted by liberal professors. This new crop of police are the cause of everything going on now. They don't listen and think they are smarter and know more than everyone else. Books are good for office work not Officer work.
Or Rahm could just stop the charade, step down first and let the new mayor have a go.
"The deadline to apply for the Chicago Police Department is right around the corner, yet the very people the police are trying to attract are not exactly lining up for the jobs."
No big rush to duck flying rocks and bottles, get punched in the head and watch the offender walk free "for the good of the city," get motherf__ed, have your family's name broadcast all over, maybe be held down most of the tour filling out and re-filling out forms for the ACLU if the least little thing goes wrong, and maybe even go to prison?
Astonishing.
It'll work out. If anyone can find the worst people for a job, Rahm can.

Atlas has started to shrug.
Note to political hacks, foney rev'runds, guilt-ridden white libs, ACLU communists and the sad excuse that passes for media: You've made your bed, now lay in it.
Stay fetal men (and women) in blue.
who wants to work for a department that remains on the edge of being taken over by the USDOJ, after having been there for several decades. that perhaps shows a department either unwilling or unable to change. if it cannot change itself, external forces will effect the changing for it, and that will be very unpleasant.
on top of that the city's near bankrupt financial condition does not encourage anyone to jump onboard.

Brilliant.
Go ahead, "de-fund the police" as some are demanding, and stop work on that big new UC trauma center too. If the UN is coming here, they can bring sacks of cornmeal and Doctors Without Borders as well.
Have any of the "protesters" here ever noticed that policing on the African continent seems to involve 2 1/2-ton open trucks fitted with benches, on which jolt along a dust-covered squad of guys wearing WWII steel helmets and holding old Mauser bolt-actions? Not only that, they are almost invariably members of a tribe that does not like your tribe. Ordinary people see that dust cloud coming up the road, they run like hell.
"Be careful what you ask for..."
Gonna have to move. I mean to some place like Hungary or Macedonia, wherever they've wired the borders off a little. The spirit of the thing goes back to the Crusades, when the locals got really tired of one huge wave of rabble after another stripping the fruit trees bare, digging out every potato along their line of march, and carrying off every damsel in sight.
They started off being helpful, the monasteries giving alms, until they realized that at the going rate, there would be nothing of value left for anyone. Then the swords came out and The Great Hacking began, bones left scattered through the woodlands, to make the next wave of intruders consider trying a different route.
Anyone carry chain mail around here? Probably you could save the shipping costs by just buying it in Bulgaria when you get there...
Well they better do something. The Dept is already short at least 3000 and with the 30 june 17 deadline for the free medical for P.O s 55 and over, the city is going to lose another 2500.And with the big class of mar 90 maxing out the following year this dept will be down 6000 experienced officers.At a time when every dept in the country is having trouble getting anyone to apply for this thankless job.Good luck liberal f@(ks.U got the dept/country u asked for.Everyone better get concealed/carry.Ur going to have no one around to bail u out.
Doctors kill 10,000 times more people than police. Why no body cams microphones media coverage and protests about that? I'm just saying.
I have been wondering how many people have been signing up. What are the numbers and racial breakdowns exactly? Anyone know?
Born and raised on 26th and Avers, but moved to Schaumburg for the obvious reasons and now that I want to join, the residency requirement stops me.
I wonder if I list my grandmothers address how deep the check will be on my residency...
They couldn't get applicants with a tax free sign on bonus of $50,000.00. 25 years ago there were at least 5000 people who signed up for the test. I think they are struggling to get 5 idiots who might take this job. At this rate they will raise the retirement age to 80 and pay you double not to retire.
72k after 18 months and some of the tools on this job thought the city was doing them a favor by giving them a 1% raise!
Last test there were 20,000 applicants, right? And there is that big of a drop off from just the applicants, let alone the amount that actually pass the exam. They still about 2,000 short from exhausting the last list.
Guess their are certain candidates that need more time to get their qualifications in order. Clean up their drug abuse. Get their GED. Expunge their arrest records. Get medical clearance. Move into the city. Get that phone call lined up. Get the answers in advance. You know just the Chicago way,merit appointment to CPD.
The Mayor has sent to Europe several recruiters 2 interview the "Syrian Refugees"

Right , go ahead take this job and after 30 years find out your pension money was stolen by the people who hired you
Look at the pattern, the fetalness is spreading even to people considering this as a career. Rahm look at yourself your democratic political club the blood is covering your hands keep inviting people to get the police, working well rahm? Alderman? Gold star club?

If a recent college grad or Vet wanted to work in Law Enforcement, they should take the job while applying for a Fed Job rent a studio apartment, and give yourself a 36 month timetable.

It's called marketing Johnny Whitebread.
You mean the "community" is not too interested in becoming the police?
This is absolute stupidity! Recruiting should not be about race. If you can't pass the test because you didn't take high school seriously or you are a moron. Selection should be based on score and that's it!!!!
Gonna ask your retirees back? You lost so many great police officers, what a shame Chicago.
If you haven't read Atlas Shrugged, now would be a good time. It's interesting that Ayn Rand lived at Kedzie and Eastwood for a while, before moving to Hollywood.
Partner had kid apply. Used me as a reference. They called me. Kid was admitted pot smoker. They don't mind if you admit to smoking dope now, just warn them not to do it once hired. A domestic violence charge with bfsol, no complainant in court is ok.
Great news! There has been an increase in the increase for the deadline!
It appears to me that because of the decrease in the amount of applicants there will be an increase for the deadline.
Now who's got the next shot?
Gerrrrrry
CPD needs to go back to requiring only a high school diploma or a GED.
That should fix the problem!!!!
Discrimination against whity is OK. There too busy working or going to school to notice. If it's the other way around you got plenty of folks and people who don't work or go to school and have a lot of free time on their hands to do the devils work and that includes crying discrimination when they don't get what they want handed to them. Their only job is to vote to keep the free ride going so they can continue the devils work. This will not go on much longer because as Margaret Thatcher said, "The only problem with socialism is, you eventually run out of other people's money"

Yeah, marketing to everyone but white guys, Jesse.
So I'm in the process right now from the 2013 test. I passed the Power Test no problem. There were two guys there with me that I know from where I currently work at. Both failed the Power Test as they are grossly overweight. Well. They just told me the other day they got notified to come back and take the Power Test again over again.
Here's the thing. I know other people who failed the Power test and they never were given another chance to take it again. Can any of you guess why the first two are getting another chance?
In other words; Pilgrims aren't getting second chances but the "constituents" are.
Why hasn't FOP sued regarding the 5 points given to CPS graduates? I believe that the Fire Department union was talking about filing suit.
I read "Atlas Shrugged" a long time ago. I plan on re reading it.

Almost all police agencies, including the Feds won't exclude you for having smoked Marijuana as long as you admit to it on the background checks and polygraph. The reason being is that almost all of the millennial generation has at least tried pot. If you come back "hot" on the drug test that is a different matter. One thing that Chicago does is ask for the names of all former spouses, significant others, boyfriends, girlfriends etc, and interviews them to look for domestic abuse. As far as I know other departments don't do that.

It doesn't matter where you live now but you will have to live within the city limits once you're hired. I'm not sure if an investigator still comes to your house before getting hired.

Tell that to the merit morons that are always getting over....
Shouldn't the white middle class male applicant be calling this REVERSE DISCRIMINATION. I seem to remember when they hired WHITE males in larger numbers than BLACK males the BLACK males were allowed to drop that proverbial RACE CARD and even though a WHITE MALE was more or better qualified he was "discriminated" against as they took the BLACK applicant based on the color of their skin. THAT was considered ok and "legal" by those in power who stated it was for "racial norming." Now they have an abundant population of these "Race Norming" individuals, whose ONLY QUALIFICATION was skin color, on the job and they're not happy with them. They have all these "College Boys'n Gals" that have replaced the HS Graduate "Street Smart" kids and they don't like them either! Be careful what you wish for, you may actually get it!
