Superintendent Names Leaking
- The African-American public safety director of DeKalb County, Georgia, outside Atlanta, has emerged as a front-runner to replace fired Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, sources said Thursday.
Cedric Alexander is a high-ranking official in the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives and holds a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy.
His resume includes stints as police chief of Rochester, New York, deputy commissioner of the New York State Police and security director for the Transportation Security Administration at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Golly, another outsider. It's almost like the past decade of incompetent "merit" promotions have driven away anyone actually capable of advancing through the ranks. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about this Department at the moment, nothing will.

How can we get past race issues if every time you turn around someone is labeling people? How about just the best person for the job no matter what race, color, creed, or gender? Smh
New outsider same as the old outsiders. We'll run this guy out of town too.
Cedric the Entertainer! I love that guy! From Showtime at the Apollo to Showtime in the Ghetto!
If anyone has heard about T. Dart running for mayor, just comes to shed light on why they are emptieing the jails. This makes sense now, let's put as many families of criminals out to the voting polls by looking and a making Dart look like he is for the people, and then come down hard on crime after he wins the mojority of votes for mayor. Sounds brilliant Tom.
I caught this goof's act a few times on CNN. Totally full of shit. He will probably fit in well here.
The well-respected Milwaukee Co. Sheriff David Clarke did NOT apply. He knows that Chicago politicians and CPD top brass puppets are nothing more than a shamelessly corrupt political clusterfuck. Momma Clarke did not raise a fool.
With all due respect to this candidate, what is needed is someone who has worked in a large municipal department.
He can only have the job if ads Reverend to his resume
Another 3 years of on the job training to get up to speed on how the CPD and this animal known as Chicago function . We need someone who KNOWS the neighborhoods, the laws , the gangs and the way clout works . Another outsider, more anger from within the rank and file and another disastrous superintendent.
"They call me MR. Tibbs".
If Alexander is named Superintendent, NOBLE will be the death of our Department.
A black superintendent will bring us to the promised land.
OT: Who can I talk to about getting my $105.00 back from the Wysingers. Bullshit party Al. Where did the money go?
More of the same.
Again, someone who forgot what a real street cops does. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
I would much rather see a slightly incompetent insider made supe than another outsider. The learning curve is too great. Just because you run the county Atlanta is in (not Atlanta PD) and you are a high ranking NOBLE member does not qualify you. It will take him two years to figure this place and who's who out. We need some true leadership that the rank and file respects NOW!!!
A professional wrestler!
Rumor has it that Alexander is Rahm's second choice after being turned down by the Mississippi Mad Man.
Milwaukee Sheriff David Clark
I'm sorry, my questions regarding Mr. Alexander include this:
1) From Chief of Police (entire police department) to deputy commissioner state police (large state police force)
2) From deputy commissioner state police (large state police force) to a security director of an international airport
3) from to a security director of an international airport (major airport) to a public safety director of a county in Georgia.
Having a Masters Degree in in marriage and family therapy doesn't excite me unless he's on the streets with patrol dealing with some of the screwed up families we deal with and can use his clinical psychology on them.
This guy seems to be degressing in his jobs, going from an important chiefs job in a fairly large New York city, to a director job in a county sheriff department.
I see large RED FLAGS here!
As for being a "high-ranking official" for an Executive Organization, that seems to me as being a "deputy chief" among other "deputy chiefs" and deputy's in an organization.
But hey, I'll look on the bright side of this. When he comes in and makes all these glorious changes to "our" police department from his "vast" experience from "all" his past jobs, the City of Chicago will STILL have a soaring crime rate because NO ONE wants to deal with the REAL ISSUES going on within our city and around the country, the 600 pound gorilla in the room!
I heard he is a stand up guy. The new boss will have our backs. He will support us 100%. LOL. LOL.
It sounds like Cedric the Entertainer is another law enforcement gypsy going from town to town reading palms. Has advanced degrees but does not practice those professions, Member of NOBLE, an organization that is not noble. The article does not describe his street experience. What is the longest he has kept a job and what was that job? Shortest job?
I hate reading articles that raise more questions than they answer. Journalism is dead.`
If he's held all those cush spots you know he'e clouted somewhere
how did the past two "outsider" Supes work out?
1) Gene Williams
2) Fred Waller
3) Robert Tracy ( resigned before getting fired)
4) Tina Skahill
The next CPD boss of bosses MUST be black, female and preferably lesbian or bigendered.
The alderman want a department member for the job so they can keep their influence. But, they will take a black outsider as they believe that racial sympathies are just as strong. They might be surprised this time.
Rahm has already said the next Supe absolutely has to be black. Obviously Rahm feels it's more important to pander and placate than to impartially look for the best, most qualified, candidate.
These are very sad times.

What were you expecting?
Sources say that he's just another McCarthy - egotistical police chief going from one department to another. He's a big shot with NOBLE, so I guess that email about Gene Williams will just fade away....
The 3 finalists will be Escalante, Waller and this guy.
JUST A CITIZEN SAYS: Oh c'mon already. So there isn't ONE qualified person in the entire CPD that could do this job? Give me a break. And just who is this Bozo they want to bring in??

Here's where the best part comes in. Since he's new here, he'll have to take the word of other NOBLE "Executives" like Gene Williams on how CPD runs. I'm sure the latest batch of clout Lt's, that owe their bars to NOBLE, will guide him to a smooth transition. It'll be great, they'll have your backs for sure.
Cedric the Enterainer is no friend of the police.
Job hoppers are the least qualified folks. Show me a stable resume.
Eddie T-J is our only chance as an insider.

You're kidding right? No one in their right mind would give that group of haters the time of day, let alone $105. You bought the ticket to be on that list, not for the food and steppin'. When the group of clout Lt's are looking for admin people,and they will, you need to say you saw them at the party.
my first act will be to spar every officer!DISCIPLINE,DISCIPLINE,DISCIPLINE!!!! HIRED!
The well-respected Milwaukee Co. Sheriff David Clarke did NOT apply. He knows that Chicago politicians and CPD top brass puppets are nothing more than a shamelessly corrupt political clusterfuck. Momma Clarke did not raise a fool.
The truth is, Clarke isn't qualified to run a large, municipal PD. On top of that, he would be far too busy here dealing with the
pile of crap that is waiting to be dealt with to engage in his favorite pastime, schmoozing with the Fox News hosts about subjects he knows little about. No way would Rahm stand for him being Fox News shill for every viral issue in law enforcement. Clarke is better off staying right where he is, as a man of privilege in a county sheriff's dept. with (apparently) little day-to-day real responsibilities.
I think it was in D.C. Blues, by Tucker Carlson, where it was discussed how, at some past time NYC Police promoted (or hired?) strictly in rank order from the test. The article recounted how many of these cops went on to be deputy chiefs, one or two became the commissioner, etc. In short, it was an extremely effective way to make cops. Go figure.

====================
Nothing better to spend $105 on???
Another New York fuck? We really don't want those dickheads. Keep them there. We need one of our own!
Where's the list of past or ongoing scandals? Where's the past of mismanagement of large amounts of money? Why isn't this guy like everyone else Rahm brings to Chicago? Could this be the first time in a long time that we get someone who doesn't immediately stand out as being a horrible idea and destined to fail? It just doesn't seem right. There has to be some corruption or ties to Rahm somewhere. He can't just be some guy who held high ranks in other departments. That's not how Chicago does things.
Do not let 9 1/2 digits pick the next supt.....it will be more of the same shit.
14 months left thank God. The Mayor is a moron he comes out to are roll calls tells everyone he has are back, but this shows us he is not listening to us. Past two guys no go so lets go for strike 3. Well if he does this for sure the dept. is doomed. Stay fetal my friends.
So it has to be a black guy right? So this new black Supt's first order of business is going to be to transfer all the black officers to districts where the majority of residents are black, Hispanic officers to districts where the majority of residents are Hispanic and white officers well you get it. That's what the public wants right. The numbers are all out there. What's the problem. Put the transfer list out. How about a 90 day detail say June July and August. Hell we gave them the ISR program not let's give them the black Supt. and the transfer all the officers according to race and finally crime will cease to exist. Seriously at this point Rahm should do it and then ask these people, "what do want now?"
The next CPD boss of bosses MUST be black, female and preferably lesbian or bigendered
I guess Catlin Jenner is in the running.
Whats his relationship to BLM and Obama?
Alexander is and entertainer or a joke. Needed is a skilled technician who carries empathy, professionalism, integrity and big smarts....thats the way to get cooperation from 'The Force' and respect from the bad Guys.
jjjs. All this resume tells me is he spent a lot of time in school......and can kiss political ass like an Olympic champion.
jjjs. All this resume tells me is he spent a lot of time in school......and can kiss political ass like an Olympic champion.
When its said-and-done, L.L. (IPRA) or Fred Waller will be our next Sup. Either is better than some goof from Atlanta floated by BIG Al Wysinger to make sure HIS people are taken care of. Look for Escalante to remian in place till the end of the year (at best) then REPLACED BY E.J. with B.W. going to Chief of Patrol. Rahm is fighting for his political career and only moving these pieces around gets him the support he'll need for a 3rd term plus giving his competitor candidates options outside of City government (ala a certain light skinned alderman challenger leaving ubruptly to go work for the private sector). Lets see what opportunities he materializes for Kurt S. to not run against him or Kwame R.??????
Hmmmmm, we"ll know soon enough!
How about we do without a superintendent and first deputy. Let the Chiefs control the Indians. This guy Alexander will spend too much time in front of cameras. Our department will becone national talk show.
We all know it will be an M/1 or F/1 outsider. There's no way it will be anyone that was or is CPD. All the activists are screaming about "CPD code of silence" and clout etc. etc. They will not accept business as usual from another CPD insider. An outsider will also drive a lot more into retirement and that's what they want
I Think Dr Cedric Alexander is an excellent choice. Someone with a vast amount of experience, honest and independent enough to speak his mind and make necessary changes. If there was someone in the CPD that could have helped make a change we would have had evidence of it by now.
Putting this guy in would be the very definition of insanity, doing the dame thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.
Put an outsider in and you have a year to get your feet wet, two if you are McCarthy. You couldn't correct Garry on the smallest thing. He was too hard headed. Best case this guy has an open mind, but it still takes a long time to get the feel of a completely new town.
The last two losers have done irreparable damage to the Department. Each tried to push his own version of policing and neither bothered to get any input from anyone that knew the city and the Department, just the Mayor. Maybe the Mayor IS the problem, maybe.
You want to make a statement, Rahm? Hire Tina Skahill, a black female. You get your political advantage, but not at the expense of your Department. She is book smart and knows her way around the Department. She has street credibility for the rank and file (couple of shooting under her belt), but can navigate the politicians.
Hire an outsider again and you make the same mistake a third time. You will look like the fool we all believe you are.
The new Supe will be Al Sharpton and his first deputy will be Gator Bradley.
Rahm's gotta keep pandering.

Huh?
"Big-Endered?"
Keesing Bandit won't
even touch that one.
The more they bring in outsiders the more direction the department loses. We need a CPD person that knows what this department used to be.
If you thought for a minute that someone from CPD was going to be hired when the department is in the midst of a DOJ investigation, I've got a bridge to sell you:
With the way the city has handled the merit promotions since 1998 they HAVE to go outside the department. I struggle to get past 5 exempts that are not merit. With the majority being double merit. Look at what GW did with the Lt test. IAD pulls a number and then the Deputy calls and tells him they are coming to his next study class. Number killed, let's put all the IAD Sgts in the next Lt class. Christ half of the people in the Lt class were merit Sgts. And No they couldn't have studied harder and scored that much higher in a smaller pool of candidates. In a long history of bad promotional tests this one was the worst. I feel bad for the Sgt's that studied hard and won't make it because of all the cheating. Merit is killing this job.
OT: David Spielfogel....Rahm's right and left mind is leaving the sinking ship. He was given an exit interview by the Sun-Times. He is no more intelligent than a goof down the street....what an idiot....with no common sense. Good riddance.
Lori lightloafers in the picture anymore?
I cannot believe that with all the 6 figure white shirts we have in CPD. That one of them is not qualified to be Supe.
The last 2 outsiders did not work out so well. What makes the city continue to look at outsiders ?
The only man in this country I'd listen to would be Sheriff Clarke from Milwaukee. Someone in this country needs to speak the truth and call out the Black on Black genocide in this country and try to find a solution. Blaming the police is like blaming a plumber for Katrina.
Caitlyn Jenner for superintendent!
Yeah but is he CIT trained? /sarc
This is sending a message to ALL of the senior command staff of this department that NONE of them are good enough to rise to the position of Superintendent. But right now, I doubt any of them would want the job. All another outsider will do is fix things that aren't broken, and change things for changes sake. We had enough of that with McCarthy. He destroyed this department and ran off every experienced exempt who had the balls to challenge him and tell him he was wrong. We need a Superintendent who has been the REAL police to restore this department back to an agency that we as officers can take pride in. And who won't collectively throw us ALL under the bus as soon as a individual scandal or act of misconduct occurs. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results."
What a great world, put affirmative action in charge of all liberal squatholes and let the destruction continue for our entire lives. Idiots. FSA is more important than the taxpaying fools.
Hey Rahm why don't you elect a legitimate product from the hood/community at least that way you can say he or she is keeping it real as the shit continues to hit the fan. A shit bird superintendent may garner much more respect from the hood/community than an empty suited family man. Lets be honest you could give a rats ass what the men and women in blue think anyway.
Sid Davis?
I don't think we should have another outsider. Especially one who has not been in charge of a sept the size of ours and a city with as much gangs. To hire someone without these qualifications is a total waste of time.
You poor guys just can't catch a break.

Ha ha! Suckass spent $105 and didn't get to mingle with the important people enough to get a phone call out of it? Poor bastard. Go stand on a corner with a cup in your hand, beggar.
Jody Weiss is looking pretty good lately.
You want your $105 back? Ask Maryet Hall-Wysinger, the tickets were originally $125 and she was excited she was able to get them to $105. How was that open bar with the cheap liquor??
At least Caytlin Jenner has balls.
Whatever.
1.) Make the balloon payments to our pension.
2.) Get our money back from Davis/Vanecko.
3.) Makes no difference who is selected.
4.) Chalkie's working out hard. He can't wait for the season kick-off in May.
What the fuck is wrong with people. We have gangs organized and killing people, selling drugs and we don't take them down? pathetic. Good luck to a new super. Without public support, legal support, resources and a will to take on these gangs you coppers may as well get used to a career writing tickets and responding to domestics. what a fucking society we live in. our state is run by criminals so they are lax.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
While I like Tina as a person I don't think that she is the best to be Supt.
Yes, she is well educated. Yes she is an Atty. But Tina is out of touch with the street officers. Hasn't bothered to try to see what anyone working the street is going thru. She hasn't seen the outside of an office in over 25 years! Don't believe me, check where she has worked for the past 25 years. In the early 90's she stared with the CAPS movement and hasn't been outside a building since then.
This Dept. needs a leader that will lead from the top down and the bottom up. It's supervisors, all of them, need to be accountable for the actions of their subordinates. THREATS WON'T WORK! How about some of these gold braids start getting their asses into a squad with beat officers in 007, 003, 004, 011, 010, 015, etc., leave your driver at home. Go be the third man on their car and you do all the paperwork. You want street cops to make street stops and do that stupid ISR, go do some with those street cops. See what they are really doing out on the street. See what they are really dealing with. Then come up with real solutions on how to curb crime in this hell hole.
Bottom line is that the only people being held accountable for the shootings and crime in this city are the street cops! Not the jags that are committing the crime, not the police bosses who sit in their offices bitching about it.
$105.? Dang Joe. They got you..
Here is an excerpt from a story about Cedric Alexander who is believed to be a front runner for the job.
Inroads in Georgia
In 2013, Alexander took his talents to another trouble spot, DeKalb County, Georgia, where he assumed the role of police chief for 1,300 officers and 300 civilian staff. The police department suffered from low morale and high turnover, and the local government was rife with corruption — the county's former chief executive officer awaits trial for 14 felonies, including bid-rigging and kickbacks.
Again, Alexander took the opportunity to rid the department of leaders known for their bad influence and of officers known for corrupt behavior. He rewarded remaining staff with perks they had told him would help them feel better about their jobs, such as getting their first raises in seven years and tuition reimbursement for officers looking to expand their skills.
Last December, county leaders promoted Alexander to deputy chief operating officer for public safety. Now, the chiefs and directors of the county's five public safety offices, including police, report to him.
"It's a great group of people who have been on the job for a long time and are doing a dynamic job," he says. "Now, our goal is to develop a single vision and a more integrated way of operating" so there is no unnecessary redundancy among departments' roles and duties, for example.
While Alexander credits psychology and leadership training for giving him the tools to lead these transformations, he praises those who work for him for using those tools to get something done.
"All I am is the coach," he says. "The people who do the work are the ones who make all of these changes possible."

And yet again the same deck chairs get rearranged by Rahm..... while the Rwanda in slow motion continues in the black community in Chicago.
OT: My advice to newer coppers is to start your own biz. Get something going outside of Law Enforcement. I have 2 beach houses paid for and did it over 12 years and I am retiring at age 49 with 20 and out plus I bought 2 years military so I will be set. Even if the pension goes belly up I will still be okay with what I built up in the civilian world.
I really hope our pension woes are fixed but I know my business will survive for at least the next foreseeable 5 to 10 years plus I've saved just over $250K over the past 5 years with one more year to go before I leave. Too many guys put all their eggs in one basket. The CPD/law enforcement basket. I saw the pension issues long ago so I did something amazing; I started planning for its demise a long time ago and now I am set to where I can leave early (49) and have no retirement worries and I am not stuck on this job. I saw the writing on the wall just after I came on the job back in Oct 95. Veteran coppers told me to get either an education not related to being LEO or start a side biz. Well I listened and took it to heart. Others told me to study and get promoted but I learned I couldn't do both so did the biz instead. I know when I post here "I speak to deaf ears" as most coppers don't plan past the 1st and 15th. I might as well hit the delete key after typing.
I hired one CPD copper then he found out he was just under 50 on the SGT list and blew me off for damn near a year waiting until he got promoted so I hired another guy in this place and I moved on. (Still don't get that Billy) Again Billy put his "all" into this job. No plan B (with my company) for SGT Billy. Plan, plan, plan guys. I am sure Jason V.D. didn't plan on blasting a knife-wielding teen outside a BK and then getting fired and charged criminally. I do nothing at work and have 14 months to go. Get an alt plan guys. So many of you wake up each day a your 1 year goal, 5 year goal and 10 year goals are all the same. Go boozing after work and trying to bang the watch secretary.
Good luck Billy being SGT. When you do the math I can tell you how much $$$ you will make next year by looking at your pay chart. A biz, unlike this job, has no limits on how much you can earn.
Good luck with this job for you new people coming on. I was told it wasn't what it used to be when I came on back in Oct 95 but today? WOW. It really ain't what it used to be.
I'm actually starting to miss the old J-Fled days...

If Rahm plans on running for a third term, escalante will be your next boss. In all reality there are more Hispanics than blacks that vote. The blm movement is pretty small and a lot of them don't live in the city. Look at the last immigration March, close to ,250,000 people came to that one, blm on its best day may get 500.
We all know it doesn't matter whose here, as long as they keep pandering to aclu and other anti police groups, we don't stand a chance. But maybe that's what they want, we will be around 650 homicides by the end of the year. Maybe 100 might be legit victims, the other 550 are nothing but a drain on the city and government. The blm idiots don't see this or don't care so we will slow down crime by attrition.
I cannot believe that with all the 6 figure white shirts we have in CPD. That one of them is not qualified to be Supe.
Even 9.5 knows they're not
Great. CPD to become an ancillary, mop-dat-flo' organization to two NGOs -- ACLU and CALEA.
Supt. will be all over the country at various "seminars," giving "presentations" and getting "awards."

We have way to many "ohh look at me I have a shiny gold star" club member time to "trim the fat!" On another related subject rahm why are your top staffers leaving? maybe they are scared of being in the trick bag correct?
Who is the right fit???

Do Your own research and check your motives. if you REALLY want change then be happy they are considering a proven "Game Changer"
Dies anyone on the job really care who gets that inflated salary spot? The way it is now until respect in the police from the president on down is redone, no copper will risk everything for these idiots in charge!

I'm guessing all your sound advice would have been heeded more if you weren't a stone cold jagoff.
Have you reserved the phone box for your retirement party yet? It seems like you will be really missed.

OT: My advice to newer coppers is to start your own biz. Get something going outside of Law Enforcement. I have 2 beach houses paid for and did it over 12 years and I am retiring at age 49 with 20 and out plus I bought 2 years military so I will be set. Even if the pension goes belly up I will still be okay with what I built up in the civilian world.
I really hope our pension woes are fixed but I know my business will survive for at least the next foreseeable 5 to 10 years plus I've saved just over $250K over the past 5 years with one more year to go before I leave. Too many guys put all their eggs in one basket. The CPD/law enforcement basket. I saw the pension issues long ago so I did something amazing; I started planning for its demise a long time ago and now I am set to where I can leave early (49) and have no retirement worries and I am not stuck on this job. I saw the writing on the wall just after I came on the job back in Oct 95. Veteran coppers told me to get either an education not related to being LEO or start a side biz. Well I listened and took it to heart. Others told me to study and get promoted but I learned I couldn't do both so did the biz instead. I know when I post here "I speak to deaf ears" as most coppers don't plan past the 1st and 15th. I might as well hit the delete key after typing.
I hired one CPD copper then he found out he was just under 50 on the SGT list and blew me off for damn near a year waiting until he got promoted so I hired another guy in this place and I moved on. (Still don't get that Billy) Again Billy put his "all" into this job. No plan B (with my company) for SGT Billy. Plan, plan, plan guys. I am sure Jason V.D. didn't plan on blasting a knife-wielding teen outside a BK and then getting fired and charged criminally. I do nothing at work and have 14 months to go. Get an alt plan guys. So many of you wake up each day a your 1 year goal, 5 year goal and 10 year goals are all the same. Go boozing after work and trying to bang the watch secretary.
Good luck Billy being SGT. When you do the math I can tell you how much $$$ you will make next year by looking at your pay chart. A biz, unlike this job, has no limits on how much you can earn.
Good luck with this job for you new people coming on. I was told it wasn't what it used to be when I came on back in Oct 95 but today? WOW. It really ain't what it used to be.

Bill hurt your feelings, obviously.
You can't leave the job soon enough. I doubt you ever were the police, but I know for sure you're NOT the police now.
God help anyone you work with, near or for, Mr. All-about-me.
Shoo.
Go away.

Great. CPD to become an ancillary, mop-dat-flo' organization to two NGOs -- ACLU and CALEA.
Supt. will be all over the country at various "seminars," giving "presentations" and getting "awards."

This might be the follow-up to the long ago
commentary about why trophies for paticipation
and losers sitting and enjoying an ice cream with
the winners instead of running punishment laps
is so detrimental and toxic to American culture.
Let alone a major Police Department being intentionally
destroyed before our eyes.
Sign of the times, huh?
$105 , that is a good deal for top shelf drinks , surf and turf dinner .
Quit your beefing .
As long as the new sup is black it will be OK.
Did Chris Rock apply?
To the guy retiring with the business he started: I don't know you but wish you well. I just want you to know, there are many people who started their own businesses that didn't work out. Not every business suceeds. You cannot possibly expect everyone to start a business and be a success. You show me a successful business and I'll show you five that closed down. It's good that you are doing well but please don't knock coppers for not starting their own business. It's not foolproof or guaranteed.
Expose the truth about the cheaters on the promotional Lt.'s test.

His plan is to deplete the @ billion in TIFs that Chicago currently has and then abruptly leave. Thats why his head bitch left

Coppers are great!
It took less than a day to come up with an appropriate name for just another Bozo (with a Kollege degree)Wright State University
Doctorate, Clinical Psychology 1992 – 1997- carpetbagger eligible to be crowned by Tiny Dancer as new 'Super'. We will have to address him as Doctor.

Listen, dope, I'll give you the $105 bucks just for you to quit posting your crybaby crap here at SCC.

While I like Tina as a person I don't think that she is the best to be Supt.
Yes, she is well educated. Yes she is an Atty. But Tina is out of touch with the street officers. Hasn't bothered to try to see what anyone working the street is going thru. She hasn't seen the outside of an office in over 25 years! Don't believe me, check where she has worked for the past 25 years. In the early 90's she stared with the CAPS movement and hasn't been outside a building since then.

She was in patrol for a half minute in 1994 and also in 2000 when she was promoted to sergeant and lieutenant. I agree with you. She is not the person for the job, but I would gladly take her over that piece of shit Debra Kirby.

I'll second that.
Well, we know what class he came out in and we know when he's leaving. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out who he is and avoid any 'party' like the plague.
Who ever they pick (democrat's and Blk Pastor's), he will never b or her a stand-up

I realize that when the city sold the "merit promotion scheme" to the federal judge, they stated that there are many good police officers out there who just cannot pass a written test but deserve to be promoted. Alderman Beavers ( convicted felon) was the loudest proponent for this promotion scheme. If that is correct,then why have at least three attorneys been merit promoted through the ranks? Tina is one, and everyone knows who the other two are. Seems as soon as they made merit lieutenant they quickly were given gold stars. Funny, the many and vast majority of people who made it to lieutenant on their own by studying their ass of never got close to that gold star or even to a unit commanding officer. Yes, people who were able to bake it through college and law school have to be merit promoted up through the ranks because they cannot pass a written examination based on department policies and state laws ? Is this correct or is it because they were just too damn lazy to spend their time studying when they were told in advance that they would be given the promotion? How depressing for those without clout who truly want to get ahead.

Yes, I worked with many people who had outside interests, jobs, businesses and they concentrated everything on that and gave little or nothing to the CPD. They left it to others to carry their load and really could care less. Arrogant people and should have been fired and would have been if this was private industry.

Very well stated. I might add that it is hard to find a decent job when you retire. You are old. Even if you are 50. You also go back to two weeks off, if you are lucky. The pension is not going to be enough. Highly advise staying for 29 and a day. Just not that many guys have properly prepared. Good luck.
Don't count out Fred Waller ...
seiser for supt let Edison park run it
Can we please get a leader who doesnt need a Chicago street guide to find police headquarters and the district stations?
The mayor runs the department, so nothing is going to change but the name of the person(s) he will throw under the bus......
2/28/2016 02:00:00 AM
Exactly who gives a sh*t who the next sup is going to be? I mean we're still talking about a person who's going to be appointed or blessed by tiny dancers hand. The same hand that sold us out to the ACLU to save his own political ass. Seems to me until we have a better way of appointing a police 'chief' we will never get a leader who can lead without the political influence of downtown. After all isn't the law supposed to be above politics?
You could hire Carrot Top and he'd still be pushing for ISRs
how bout a supt from within the dept, bringing in another azzhole from outside will not make things better,,,whats the fucking matter we arent qualified enough as a dept to supt up from ranks within???? why not supt that barbie west ill even be happy with that clueless birdbrain,,,we'll mold her,,,, DANGIT THIS CITY SUCKS COW AZZZZZZ
what another slap in our face by bringing in an outsider!!! rahm its gona get worse
