The Three Future Fall Guys/Gals
- Two outsiders and a high-ranking veteran of the Chicago Police Department were announced Thursday as finalists for the city's next police superintendent.
In making the announcement, Lori Lightfoot, head of the Chicago Police Board, called it a historic moment for the Police Department, saying, "Things have to change from the inside out."
Two African-American men and a white woman were selected. They are:
•Cedric Alexander, the public safety director of DeKalb County in Georgia who has a doctorate in clinical psychology and has 39 years in law enforcement, including as police chief in Rochester, N.Y.
•Anne Kirkpatrick, who was police chief in Spokane, Wash., for six years, holds a law degree and is an instructor at the FBI Leadership Academy.
•Chicago Deputy Police Superintendent Eugene Williams, who has 36 years with Chicago police, 15 years on the command staff, including his current position as head of the Bureau of Support Services, which oversees the department's administrative activities.
Let us be among the first to welcome Supernintendo Gene Williams to the post. Of course, he'll be mandatory retirement age later this year, but will retain the spot as civilian due to his close ties to various political and religious based organizations.

Emanuel can choose to start the process again and reject these candidates.
Seems the rank and file is pretty disappointed David Clarke applied, yet wasn't chosen.
Gene Williams is the only good looking choice. Waller will be become the 1st or whatever its called now and take over when GW leaves.
Did interim Superintendent Escalante get fucked?
Seiser and Battaglia are crushed.
They threw in a white person just to make it look good. Like she has a snowballs chance in hell.
Just another revrun who is all out for his people.
Can I get a Dawn Clark Netsch, anyone? Lmfao
What was that Peter Townsend said?
How can someone 61 or 62 be appointed police superintendent? Mandatory retirement at 63!
Unless your at the last 4 years of your career, WHY??
If 9 1/2 picks any other than Eugene Williams, after the shit we went through with McJersey, then you know he wants to destroy this department completely. It won't take much.
tina s still in running remember boys and girls who you're dealing with, these are "recommendations"
So they threw in a white person to make it look legit. Don't know much about Cedric, but be sounds like a career house mouse. As far as Gene, he is a giant pile of steaming racist shit. If he gets it 35 th St will look like the west side, I mean more than it does already. Merit promotions will be affirmative action. Don't turn your back on this guy if you aren't a member of noble. When he was a commander he responded to shooting I was involved in. When he got there he put his arm around my shoukder, walked me away from everyone and said"now officer, if what you said happened didn't happen you can tell me now.". It took me a second to realize that this POS was trying to jackpot me. This is the guy who was chosen as a finalist, he will fit in perfectly with the current black rhetoric.
There's no restriction on the civilian supe's age. If not already prohibited, Williams could be contracted in such a way as to restrict him from collecting his pension while being paid as civilian supe.
Of course, Rahm can tell the board to pound sand and give him three new names, too.
Wow, just wow. Alexander has commanded 850 officers along with 200 civilians.
Kirkpatrick has commanded 250 officers.
To say these two people will be in over their head would be a big understatement.
I'm not a cop, but I have worked in the Public Safety world for more than a few decades. Gene Williams is a winner - always has been - and while he's not going to be able to fix all of the Department's internal issues, his appointment will go a long way in boosting the morale of the street cops who interact most with the city's general population. It's clear that he has some common-sense strategies to address how CPD resources are deployed within the city's diverse neighborhoods, and given the chance, he can make a difference. There's no doubt that he has detractors who believe he's too close to the Ministers, but he also has nearly four decades on the job, and should be given the benefit of the doubt...
Well that explains the puff of black smoke I seen coming from the HQ roof this morning.
Bunch of Has-Beens.
Is this the best that the rag-tag band of govmint appointed bellyaching stool pigeons could come up with?
Cankered old farts with nothing to lose, how about they post the complete list and let's see who was passed over.
Your mayor gets to choose the next failed leader (again) and
the rag tag bellyaching panel will get to reconvene next spring?
Is the $350 a hour consultant heading back to Delaware now or will he stay and guide the Final 3 on to the Lightning Round?
Gosh, the money that's spent on help to guide civil rights reforms and restore the public’s trust of the white police officer.
Screw this city, it's guns & thugs.
I ain't ready for reform, I like doing nothing in the ghetto.
http://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/mihalopoulos-preckwinkles-push-for-power/
Prickwinkle to create her own police force??
Unfuckingreal. But I suppose he had the answers to the questions ahead of time.
If Eugene is so great, why isn't he Acting Superintendent?
It'll be more of the same with emphasis on more of the same. 'Welcome to my world'.
Williams is a good bet but we know the white lady was put in the mix to make it look good. No chance for her. I think it's the M/1 outsider. They don't want business as usual from long time CPD guys.
Do any of them have a degree at calumet college? I think not
Made sergeant in August 1998 and landed in 015. A few months later Gene Williams made lieutenant and landed on third watch. One dark day he told me I stick my neck out too much for the officers on the watch.
I pray his thinking has changed.
OT --
From farther down the blog --
"And now fuckwinkle wants the legal authority to create a Police force under the County Homeland security banner. To respond to emergency situations in the county. Remember county trumps city jurisdiction. Just give it thought to what she's up to."
3/17/2016 11:02:00 AM
Remember -- Ferguson rules today. Give plenty of "room to destroy." Hands off, stand down, no armored vehicles, no badges, no helmets, no gloves, no OC -- it looks "intimidating" and "overmilitarized" to people who are looting pharmacies, burning brand-new senior citizen centers, etc.
...and there's a new word too.
NYPD's firearms and tactics guide -- "Because drawing the firearm is so PROVOCATIVE and alarming, it should be done only under circumstances in which officers reasonably believe that they may soon have to use deadly force to defend themselves or others against lethal assault."
"Provocative."
As one POS shouted out, "You gon' incur my wrath!" County will hand out purple drank and happy meals to avoid this at all costs.
No money to adequately man CPD, "world's busiest airport" with unarmed officers -- but we'll create another police force. I can't wait to see the kind of people she'll collect.
Who ever gets this job is gonna hold it for say 2 to 4 years.... Then that bus is gonna come around and suck them under it just to save Rham's from getting some attention... Other than that... He too will be looking for new job with that dumb ass who is gonna take this job. Hope they took that industrial vacuum cleaner at the red carpet at the academy, cause they are gonna be doing that dance for this person
Hopefully they choose Eugene. There is a reason the other two are not with their departments anymore. Quit taking other departments left overs.
Gene is a old ass guy who's time has come. Time to GO AWAY that is. So this good old boy is out. The other black dude sounds like a imbecile if you've ever seen him on television. He would never last here. CPD would eat this asshat up. He is out. The pick will be that ugly old broad. It's will make the bitches happy and the white community who pays the larger taxes. She's an outsider and will be controlled by Rahm not the reverends. Read she is very strict. Well she hasn't dealt with a real police department yet. In any case people on the south and west side will continue to kill each other, because the CPD will go from the fetal position, straight into a coma...
This is outrageous. I want a recount. My son is a good candidate. He voted Democratic in the last election- twice. He even has a real HS diploma, not a GED.
Too bad all three can't take over and rotate command at four month intervals. They all have much to offer the CPD.
I spoke to one of the FOP officers the other day at the meeting on the side;
The Inspector General has opened an investigation into the Lieutenant's Exam cheating scandal.
Gene Williams is a main target of the investigation.
It would be JUST GREAT if he is made Superintendent and then is indicted on charges.
Chicago is definitely a laughing stock.
$50 says it's Alexander. I'm sure Williams is a first rate guy - but this is Chicago - both Williams and Kirkpatrick are appeasement interviews.
Sorry, but not impressed with ANY of these candidates.
How did David Clarke of Milwaukee not make the short list?
He is exactly what Chicago needs. (Well, if you won't take on Sheriff Arpiao as a candidate.)
Clarke would do well and I think rank-and-file police would respect him. And, I think the respect would be a two-way street.
As usual, I think Chicago and its "selection team" blew it. When this candidate blows up in Rahm's face, I wonder what Rahm has left?
Considering he has an open investigation pending g against him by the IG for the Lts test this further solidifies his promotion to supe.
I for one welcome our new overlord.
We'll have Hillary as President, Kim Foxx as State's Attorney, and Gene Williams as Superintendent. WE'RE F*CKED.
SCC:
Check out SB 3076, it's preckwinkles 1st step at eliminating the CPD. She wants all LEO under County control and not even CCSP control which would be just as bad if not worse. She wants her new made-up homeland security rent-a-cop type department, if you can even call it that, to have police powers. This is the department that was formly under the command of masters, masters, masters who has moved onto greener pastures and is now headed by downtown Ernie brown. Don't we have enough make believe police running around the county as it is? Do really need one more department sucking away our tax dollars?
The only person that could have changed this place for the better was not picked. Sheriff David Clarke.
I'd rather take my chances with the insider. We don't need anymore outsiders.
Rahm has already said the next Supe MUST be black. So why throw in the white lady? Just as a token representative?
This city and this department are so fucked up it's pathetic.
Hey we go welcome to the circus that never ends 3 more stooges in the hopper! Let's say your a non-clouted 9161 hard working beat copper, does it make any difference at all? Of course not how many new strategies have been developed by the skulls full of mush? The way the mayor,the elected and the media are feeding police to the slaughter houses by looking for anything they can suspend-fire-charge them with is unprecedented! Look at kim foxx in the ehn house, don't think for 1 minute she will not with her master overloard toni throw any copper to the machine, to break the copper down,ruin his family, turn him/her upside down and take every last penny on some concocted witch hunt! Look at a phenomenal police officer Aldo brown, he did his job man with a gun, a felon long arrest history, Aldo is going to federal prison for 2 years everything gone! Look at the video look at the case and tell me you would not of used same tactics or more to be sure you and your partner were going home from that rough tour same shape you started it in!
We just got a new crop of bosses, the "we cannot be fetal" type, make me look good so I get another promotion, that train coming just stand on that track don't worry I will rescue you, those days are over! Yes you have to do your job, but follow all rules the ghetto thugs, the black lies movement made sure kim foxx was installed and in November if she wins which she probably will BOHICA to the highest degree! #bluelivesmatter #protectbluefamilies!!
TIME-OUT: Gene Williams? Who is currently being investigated by the IG's office for the cheating scandal. Gene Williams - that through FIOA was confirmed had a copy of the examination. What an oxymoron using "Gene Williams" with "restoring public trust" - these terms contradictory one an another. So, it's ok to be dishonest on some issues, but no others? That is why this Department struggles. Everyone received an email regarding the FIOA request for complimentary histories from Captains, Lieutenants and Sergeants - this request was made by the Sergeants Association. There is an investigation.
In Atlanta, school officials were indicted and subsequently convicted for a cheating scandal. Go to prison and lose your pension. A criminal defense or plaintiffs attorney should subpoena the new Lieutenants, especially after they approve a TRR (use of force issue) or Search Warrant (two hot issues) and asked whether they were dishonest as a police officer (direct questions center around examination),get them to answer under oath. Subpoena the exempts who administered the test - all under oath. At the very least, they will have committed a Rule 14 violation, but worst, they are all shot as witnesses for the rest of their careers - everything they approval is tarnished.
The city/police department does not need another cover: Its time for Gene Williams to retire and move on quietly.
On Thursday, Emanuel took a page from his predecessor’s playbook. After receiving names of the three finalists for police superintendent, he said police officers alone are not responsible for the bloodbath. So are judges.
Wtf I didn't know we were at all responsible for the bloodbath
I call dibs on Cedric the Entertainer.
Many political observers expect Emanuel to pick an African-American as the next police superintendent, given the dissatisfaction in that community over how the McDonald case was handled. Emanuel indicated race will play a role in his pick, saying that "in the sense of building trust and cooperation, it's something obviously you have to look at."
Did the open post of job state "whites need not apply?"
All of them are worthless.... It's not like they can't do anything...
No Alexander the Great
http://www.inlander.com/spokane/confidence/Content?oid=2131110
A vote taken last month by members of the Spokane Police Guild found that a majority — “a supermajority,” according to the union’s president — have no confidence in the leadership of the city’s top cops.
Neat...
Google Kirkpatrick. She cost the city of Spokane 1.7 million dollars after illegally firing a Detective. It took me 15 minutes to locate this information. Why can't the board do this. Why the hell would the city hire this idiot.
Kirkpatrick, retired from Spokane, after being sued for woeful termination
of a Detective. The city paid off the lawsuit.
Kirkpatrick took job at Sheriff's office then left there.
another boss that throws people under the bus.
Is this The same EW who was the subject of a Confidential CR number after it was alleged that he was a senior subject matter expert who was holding an invite only Lt study group on company time in his conference room? So much for transparency. There was even a FOIA admission that he had an advanced copy of the Lt test. He will make a great leader. Leading by example I mean expect YOU to be above reproach while he isn't.
here's the deal......Gene has little chance; the chief from Spokane, no chance; Cedric the Entertainer, from down south, he's the guy that Rahm picks
Alexander is famous for firing and demoting supervisors when he took over in other
departments. But new boss same as old one.
Jodi Weiss said that things would change and McCarthy did nothing but blame everyone else. I woul love to see some command staf be sent back to the watch.
But I must be dreaming......
Great job to all on the lake at 79th St. Man in the water call, was rescued. Fortunately was wearing a life jacket which may have made the difference. Taken to hospital in critical condition -- lake was pretty calm but water temp. mid-40s, you go hypothermic fast. Had possibly been fishing. No sign of any boat of his yet...
Sure hope it's Williams for current members
Just watched abc news give out community warning in Chinatown of a robbery pattern. Said suspect is in his 20s, 5'5 , 150 lbs. If someone looks suspicious call 911. Um... What race? That would narrow things down. Or do I call on every person that matches that vague description?
I vote for gene Williams over another outsider
SCC just by you putting it out there, Williams most likely won't get it. Cause the 9digit moron hates you guys and would single handedly sabotage this whole thing just to spite you. But dear God I hope he's not reading the blog today, because I pray that Williams makes it too, he's one of us from the heart and from the start. The other two, strange pics. Who knows. Always about race though, never about qualifications, or should I say "content of ones character".
Either way we're fked, stay fetal. No ISR's, no receipts. Ever.
-west side cop (who gave up)
Let it burn
The latest Gene Williams update. He has provided a Chiefs Ford Explorer to meritorious Lieutenant MH. She parks it in the Chiefs spot at hq and in 3. The plate is 635 9146. No shame.
No matter who gets the job stay FETAL, not one of them will help you and will throw you under the bus in a heart beat.
Rahm has been reported as saying in a quintissential display of HIS racism, if true the new super must be black. But no matter, whomever it is will never be bigger than the beast. No one and I mean no one can fix the ills of this city. It did not get like this overnight and only a fool could possibly believe a super of the CPD is going to cure the ills that afflict this society. You have had some good supers and some bad ones and here we are anyway. So those of us who abide by the law will support you as warranted and those of us who choose to live like dirt bags will continue to do so.
What a embarrassment and a demoralizing insult to escalante. Another outsider. I think I am finally agreeing, 1st and 16th.
Prekwinkle, Foxx, Dart, Rahm, Pfather Pfoney, rev-runs, aldercreatures, all enemies and no allies.
2016 the Year of Chalkie.
More importantly police all over the country buying liability insurance staying fetal is best insurance:

Mr. Six got 86'd!
Kirkpatrick will win hands down, even with Black American citizens of Chicago. It's time for deep change and a woman law enforcement executive from a progressive city can help heal this city and move the CPD forward. The M1 and M2 leaders have had their chance. Now it's time for a Woman! I work for a female m1 supervisor in 006 and I would follow her into the gates of Hades because I respect her balance, professionalism, and smarts. Let's put a qualified Woman and Outsider in Charge!
A. M2 Blue Shirt from Class 86-3a with 30 years on this job on June 16, 2016! Am I'm still driving a beat car.............
Can any post the essays the three finalist submitted during the application process, I sure would like to know exactly how these 3 plan on cleaning up the department.
Naturally the best choice for this position would've been a pre-op transgender minority member of the ACLU. We are still searching.
Thank you for your patience.
--- The Mayor
Hire all 3 since they are so smart according to Lori. They can be Co-supernintendo's and it seems like they can all bring something to the table per Lori. Each one seems to have great knowledge on how to run a police dept.Of course Gene might have a few draw backs seeing that he's been on the dept for 35 yrs and hasn't changed anything except his merit selections.That depends on which revrun's hes listening to that week.Meet the new boss same as the last one.How about listening to the troop's and stop the merit bs. Another political hack making him the best puppet for 9.5. Then you have everyone's aunt Flo who got chases out of the last two dept's she was with.And then we have another bounce around candidate who's the smartest man in the room looking for another deal. Good luck Chicago P.D.and stay fetal while the revrun's and alter-creature's run it.Any bets on long the new guy/gal last.Taking that job is like being a kamikaze pilot
If you think they are actually going to choose gene Williams you ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND. I like the guy but they will not pick an insider. It will be the guy from Georgia
Alderman Danny Solis for Superintendent of Police he has plenty of municipal government contracts like Monterrey Security you saw them at presidential candidate Trump's rally at the UIC pavilion and Chicago Bears game days at Soldier Field.....give us a LATINO superintendent!
when do we want it! now!
My God! That woman is from Central Casting for the role of PC, Spinster, Scold, Hater. Wow!

Welcome to our world,Chicago P.D.. Certain police chief's/administrator's/manager's come and go around here,on a routine basis. No surprise to learn that DeKalb does not corner the market on *professional incompetence*,feather nesting,or padding resumes. This will be just another example of *updating* a newer version,of a new boss/old boss/same boss,for your department. But,with all due respect,this profession stopped being a career profession,for LEO administrator's,many,many,years ago. It seems that all to often,the legit administrators/chiefs are sacrificed on the political altars,then the frantic search is on for a more malleable *go along to get along* candidate. It's the same old saw,*don't fix the problem,place the blame*! They have mostly become gypsy employee's at best. It's uncanningly similar to the inefficient,ineffective,Marta bus system here. When one leaves,another *one* will come along after while,if it does not break down enroute,or if it is even capable of leaving the yard,under it's own power. To our potentially,unfortunate brother and sister officers at C.P.D.,standby to standby! A sh^t storm could possibly be headed your way. You all have our empathy,and sincere regrets,that your overwhelmed,unappreciated department has to endure this potential upcoming administration change,involving *our*applicant. This will be just one more example of *the empty uniform syndrome*,or as I like to call it,*THE MORE RANK THAN ABILITY SYNDROME*. Try to gear up,hunker down,and hang on. This department has managed to survive this current administration,so far. The old oceanic navigational charts have this inscription on their borders,*Beware.Here be the dragons.All ye who enter are lost*. My best advise is to prepare to don your armor for battle. Hopefully,your potential dragon will be a carbon copy of *our* poser dragon. A lot of wind,a lot of noise,a lot of confusion,a lot of threatening/posturing,but thankfully,no fire,no heat. More of a major annoyance,at best. Unfortunately,there will sadly be a wake of administrative destruction,low morale.low pay,and high turnover,left in it's wake. Our hopeful good riddance,will only result in your less than pleasant acceptance. I could say,*better you than us*,but I would not wish this on my worst enemy,much less another department. Pray for a better candidate on your horizon.

The WORST possible pick—knows nothing and is owned by you know who!!
Gene Williams is a COMPLETE failure that knows nothing about Police work. A YES man his whole career.
Nope, won't be Williams, he'll think he can run it, the commie won't allow that.
The 3 Stooges, great comedy! They all look like assholes including Eugene!
(OT) what part of the in summary phrase do you not understand? War on police Marching on stay fetal:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-quintonio-legrier-bettie-jones-shooting-met-20160317-story.html
Copper in traumatic incident and now this forensic witch hunt? Think it's bad now? Wait for Toni's girl kimmy the ride just got pushed over the cliff! May this great young Marine hang in there your life or thugs you did the right thing take that from a 29 year veteran CPD! Semper Fi brother!!
We all know Kim Foxx was raised in Cabrini Green. Has the media bothered to ask her if she has felons and/or gang members in her family?
Do members of her family swear allegiance to one particular gang? People just want to root for the underdog and ignore the fact that she hasn't put all her demons behind her.
What a joke! Lori lightfoot, former head of OPS, enough said.
Pray to the heavens TD 9.5 does not choose the one from the west coast. Nothing but wreckage remaining after exiting every position ever held.
How can they not throw escalante name to just save face? Basically just signaled to the first, buy buy. One day your the guy, next day your not
http://video.foxnews.com/v/4805473674001/horowitz-do-cops-lives-matter/?intcmp=hplnws#intcmp=latestnews&sp=show-clips
There are at least two issues that Gene Williams should be required to explain before he is even considered for the top spot, as follows:
1. The issue of "double-dipping," wherein sworn members are allowed to retire for pension purposes and yet they are rehired immediately as civilians, collecting both a pension and a generous salary, and effectively doubling their incomes. CBS 2 and the Better Government Association revealed that most of these re-hires are in Williams Bureau of Administration, with two members in his very own administrative office.
2. In his role as a Senior Subject Matter Expert for the Lieutenant's Promotional Exam, he had access to test materials, and he allegedly sponsored a study group for members of the NOBLE organization. It has been further alleged that many of these study group members scored phenomenally high on the exam, and yet these same members were previously promoted to sergeant (and therefore eligible to take the lieutenant's exam) through the merit process. How is it that these members had to rely on merit promotions to sergeant due to poor test scores, and yet they all became testing "geniuses" when it came to the lieutenant's exam?
These are some serious allegations that question his very honesty and integrity as a police administrator. What say you, Gene?
No listed posted of the loser?
It would be great to see what asshat exempts turned in on their ideas of fixing the department.
Can anyone FOIA those great resumes and the clouted recommendation letter turned in.
And who did Phil Cline put in??? And yes he wrote a letter for SOMEBODY.
Terry the Taser hilliard also put a letter in with the promise of running background check for the Department.
But the media is slow on the uptake! If you can FOIA a Police shooting that has not even started a court proceeding then you can FOIA SILLY RESUMES THAT have off the wall bat shit crazy ideas on fixing this sinking ship.
What would the RAHMulian say that those great resumes are secret?
I think Williams is a good choice. The mandatory retirement age applies to Superintendents too?
He's connected big time. He went from a top spot with the CPD to another top spot with the city. He can do as he pleases. He's an insider with a ton of clout and he absolutely hates white people. He'll want you to do the dirty work but he'll be waiting in the shadows to fuck you if that time ever comes. Williams + Foxx + Preckwinkle = TROUBLE. They'll be chomping at the bit to nail you. Don't serve yourself up to be their hot dinner.
How can someone 61 or 62 be appointed police superintendent? Mandatory retirement at 63!
3/17/2016 12:22:00 PM
Superintendent can be a civilian of any age.
Watch and learn.
Did the open post of job state "whites need not apply?"
3/17/2016 04:14:00 PM
No, but the MEDIA did.
Over and over and over and over.
Spokane Wash....3% black....oh! yeah ! She knows just what's going on here ?????
What's all this race that is brought up into the picking of candidates. That is so racist. The city and its elected officials are so racist to bring race into it. Especially with all that is going on.
I know none of the candidates. However, Williams appears to be the reasonable candidate. He has leadership experience in the CPD, and is wired to the religious community. Outsiders coming in do not understand demographic, departmental or religious dynamics of the City. I understand the individual from Atlanta is the leading candidate, however if the Mayor selects him it would be a great mistake.
I am a M/2 in a Northside district to which I bid. Appointing individuals outside the CPD has proven to be failures the last two times. Give Williams a chance. It may help to restore confidence in the troops. I understand Alexander is the front runner with Mayor Rahn.
Mr. Mayor, carefully consider your decision, because if you pick an outsider, it may further lead to the demise of the CPD. Also, if an outsider is picked what justification does that potential selection give exempts that maybe one day they take the helm. Thanks.
Guys and gals,
This is my first post on the blog.
I spoke to Christopher Pfannkuche today. Pronounced Phon-cook
He is a gentleman and highly qualified and needs our help!
www.votechristopher.com
He told me that he has contacted the FOP on numerous occasions dating back to November, to be interviewed and is seeking the FLOPS endorsement. With NEGATIVE results.
The FOP has interviewed all 3 Democratic candidates.
Christopher has saved all his email requests and phone records without response.
Christopher has spoken with Dean Angelo in person.
How can anyone spend 31 years at the Cook County State's Attorney office, if justice was not your motivation.
He told me personally that we are headed down a dark road and he is our light.
He works with numerous Law Enforcement agencies and was currently at a Law enforcement event, when he personally took my call and spoke with me for 45 minutes.
He is friends with Terry Hake the ASA who became an FBI agent and exposed corruption in the State's Attorney office during Operation Greylord.
I emailed the Trump Campaign to donate to his campaign.
Please say this guys name everyday at work and on the blog.
Vote for him, tell everyone you know to vote for him.
Keep sending emails to the Trump campaign to donate to him.
Contact the FOP and tell them CHRISTOPHER is who WE endorse. WE are the FOP.
Not Dean Angelo. After the conversation I had with Christopher, Deano is definitely NOT for the rank and file, and is in the pocket of Chicago's dirty deed doers.
If these anarchists can assemble and unseat this office, the decent people can certainly rally and put in a qualified person.
He needs our help, he needs volunteers, he needs money. Call him directly he will give you his time. 312 767-9740
Sign up to his campaign. If we stand by we will certainly suffer.
This guy is qualified beyond this office.
But what do I know, if I had these qualifications I'd probably just get stuck working 1011 on afternoons.
Say his name everyday. PFANNKUCHE
He said you could call him Chris Phann as well, as the one copper stated.
I called him Fa-new-chee, I thought he might be Italian.
"Control what the people hear, you control the people"
"War does not determine who is right, only who is left"
I spoke to one of the FOP officers the other day at the meeting on the side;
The Inspector General has opened an investigation into the Lieutenant's Exam cheating scandal.
Gene Williams is a main target of the investigation.
It would be JUST GREAT if he is made Superintendent and then is indicted on charges.
Chicago is definitely a laughing stock.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEY MEDIA !!!
The above IS TRUE.
If you are in doubt file an FOIA REQUEST !!!
So read the essays from the applicants here...https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160317/downtown/top-cop-hopeful-police-cant-act-like-redcoats-at-boston-massacre
Notice some of the language? Have to stop being warriors and be guardians? This is the whole fetal...duty to retreat mentality. We are so f@#ked!
Someone asked why Sheriff David Clark didn't make the short list? That's easy, he wouldn't apply just based on the way he is. Doesn't seem to be the type of guy who wants to be a scapegoat AND he's an elected official. I'd love to work for a guy like that but alas CPD is destined for more of the same politically motivated garbage.
The criminals are shaking in their boots..........from laughter.
Class 86-3a? Still a rookie.

There's no restriction on the civilian supe's age. If not already prohibited, Williams could be contracted in such a way as to restrict him from collecting his pension while being paid as civilian supe.
Of course, Rahm can tell the board to pound sand and give him three new names, too.

If the new Sup is over 63 and hired as a civilian does that mean that they cannot wear a uniform with a star and carry a weapon?

Laugh's on you. Here a degree from CC is worth the same as a degree from Harvard.
There are at least two issues that Gene Williams should be required to explain before he is even considered for the top spot, as follows:
1. The issue of "double-dipping," wherein sworn members are allowed to retire for pension purposes and yet they are rehired immediately as civilians, collecting both a pension and a generous salary, and effectively doubling their incomes. CBS 2 and the Better Government Association revealed that most of these re-hires are in Williams Bureau of Administration, with two members in his very own administrative office.
The double dipping and re-hiring sworn as civilian after they retire has been going on for decades. One example is Marv Shear. Gene Williams did not re-hire these employees. Look at HR and the Sups office for that.
"Or do I call on every person that matches that vague description?"
That would be kind of fun for an experiment.
If you are under 35 yoa get out now.
How can anyone in CPD believe the Chief of Support Services has what it takes to be the big boss----- the cars, computers, training academy, medical section, buildings----all under him---all in shambles.
It does not matter who the Supt is, As long as SB 1304 is not repealed or amended you have an anti-police group of lawyers (the ACLU) judging every stop CPD Officers make. The bill was written by people who think the police are the criminals. It's an impossible position for the police. I'm sorry to say this but the Bad guys have pulled a major coup d'état and have defeated and destroyed law enforcement.
Sheriff Clark is on FOX News channel too often for the current administration. Last thing Rahm needs is for someone to inspire the troops to aggressively defend our city and upset the Revs. and West/South siders.
My partner and I stay fetal. We have not done not even one ISR. Just be nice to people fellow Officers, talk to people with respect and just give the victim a report. Don't make any traffic stops, don't make and street stops and don't ever do a ISR unless you have to. This is what they want, this is what the Citizens want. The Citizens don't care about homicides or shootings or if numbers are up or down. Citizens are just interested and only care about friendly Officers, not being stopped or searched and not receiving tickets. Just go to work and park the car, if you don't know how to sit still or if you have a bug up your ass then at your own dangerous risk and remember no Boss is goanna save your ass from the ACLU. The ACLU has made your job so easy its like free money absolutely nothing proactive is expected out of you, so go to work Spring is almost here roll down the window, enjoy the weather, and just relax until you get called for a job. Personally I don't move the car unless its a 10-1 or we have to go to a job. God gave you a brain its about time you use it those of you who are still doing proactive police need to be very careful. Oh and last time I checked all Officers get paid the same weather you are the fetal Officer or the aggressive proactive Officer. Oh wait I forgot there is one difference the fetal Officer basically doesn't have any where near the chance of a aggressive officer getting sued or fired. If we got paid a bonus for arrests or tickets then I can kind of understand why a Officer would want to risk his job, but since there is no bonus for anything you do its common sense that a moron would understand fetal is the way to go

I'm not a cop, but I have worked in the Public Safety world for more than a few decades.

It's clear that he has some common-sense strategies to address how CPD resources are deployed within the city's diverse neighborhoods, and given the chance, he can make a difference. There's no doubt that he has detractors who believe he's too close to the Ministers, but he also has nearly four decades on the job, and should be given the benefit of the doubt...

Off the blog,Gene.
I think folks are forgetting that the old bosses won't touch him because they know him. Hillard dumped him and banished him from Narcotics to 015 for years. Cline won't speak to him and the others deal with him because CPD does not have much left to choose from. He has also been a part of this BS system for almost 40 years. What do you possibly expect to change. This city needs younger blood, not an old dog doing the same tricks. He was also dumped as Chief of Patrol to an Administrative spot for a reason. He was also a Chief when the Laquan McDonald shooting took place as were all of the Chiefs, Chief Gulliford, Chief Escalante, Chief Riccio, Chief Treacy, Chief Roussell and guess who, Chief Williams. They met regarding the video the very next day at the EMM. If McCarthy had to go, so should the Chiefs.
Chief Williams has been a part of more women scandals than downtown Ernie Brown and clearly gave the alleged confidential Lieutenant's test not only to that study crew, but to his old Secretary YB who is now in the Court Section after falsifying medical documents for years claiming she could not work the street. Look at her number. 1st class too.
Mayor Daley hates him as well as the real old bosses from back in the day. Its a reason they never made him before. Lori Lightfoot is also his girl. FOIA his blackberry records and see all of the people he has been talking to to get that vote, including the head of the selection committee. How transparent is that?
Do your homework City of Chicago and CPD. He is in bed with too many politicians, ministers and heavies nationwide. He would also sell his son and family for this shot. Same old soup, boiling over. I'd rather you all get an outsider than this POS.
Escalante should not have been considered. He should be fired.

Just read an article where Gene Williams states the department has never disciplined an officer for improper use of video and audio equipment as in car cameras etc. Guess what Chicago, he has been the Chief of Administration for over three years and his Bureau oversees all of the referenced equipment. If you had that knowledge, how come you never initiated any action. Our orders allows any department member to initiate action. You are a Chief and had knowledge. GTFOH Retire dinasor retire. Morale is already at an all time low, you will boost it lower.

3/17/2016 10:51:00 PM
They leaked to the paper that he interviewed horribly and had no plans to curb violence. My suspicion is that as acting sup he actually knows the supt has no power or authority to actually mitigate violence and that he didn't try to pretend he could well enough.
For others, I like Sheriff David Clarke but he wouldn't last here. There is no way he would be able to keep the aldermen and preachers happy. Yes the officers might like him but who else. Then there is that thing of learning Chicago and how we do things...many people don't get past that curve.
They didn't throw in a white person....they threw in a white woman. Completely different play in terms of politics. You guys must forget she is a minority as well. White women are said to be the largest benefactors of affirmative action.
The only new boss that could regain respect and make the thugs know their criminality would be ceasing is sheriff David Clark of Milwaukee county anyone else fetal will be comatose! Now RAHM man up Clarke is Black outsider he fills all your pathetic criteria rejecting him is rejecting CPD your 1 chance to restore pride in this fetal department and your quickly going to blow it! Do this mayor oh and pay the full amount due the pension fund that would be "change rahm can believe in"
O/T will the new supe allow morons like Cerone (who is still acting lime a pompous ass) to continue to run a detective division with all that has happened surrounding the Kochman case. He has been nothing less than ill in his investigative supervisory skills. I imagine a good punch in the nose is surely in route.
How does someone who has made so many (purposeful) wrongs be allowed to continue to lead investigators in daily operations. So clouted he can't be dumped no matter what he has done. And people/citizens wonder why this department is compared to the movie "the departed " look at all of the two faced clowns in charge. Why is he not put in a non sensitive position to supervise paperclips.....at best......not lead homicide investigations. Look up his conviction record......and over turns....thank God for heavy ASAs who had crushes on Ricky Schroder. He cuts no paper yet is is at court all the time making big time O.T for what. He cuts no paper.....t he clouted bosses get free subpoenas. NEVER testify just collects.
How about somebody investigate that.
Just watched abc news give out community warning in Chinatown of a robbery pattern. Said suspect is in his 20s, 5'5 , 150 lbs. If someone looks suspicious call 911. Um... What race? That would narrow things down. Or do I call on every person that matches that vague description?

Yep, it should be all about bolstering Escalante's morale.
He's unqualified. He's been over-promoted as it is.
And now, he'll just have to settle for his $197,724. annual salary as 1st Deputy.
He had to help on the lieutenant's exam because we all know everyone who scored in the very top are too stupid to pass on their own.
I spoke to one of the FOP officers the other day at the meeting on the side;
The Inspector General has opened an investigation into the Lieutenant's Exam cheating scandal.
Gene Williams is a main target of the investigation.
It would be JUST GREAT if he is made Superintendent and then is indicted on charges.

Escalante wasn't considered because he should be fired with McCarthy. He is all over the Laquan McDonald shooting. His signature as well. He is also all over the Dante Servin case and had him working directly in his office after being stripped in lieu of going to 376. That was completely unheard of and unprecedented. Chief Riccio should be fired right with him. Look at that same Servin case. Chief Eddie Johnson was on that scene also.
Lets start the new era off right and get rid of all of our baggage and start fresh.

This is my first post on the blog. I spoke to Christopher Pfannkuche today. Pronounced Phon-cook He is a gentleman (yes) and highly qualified and needs our help!
He told me that he has contacted the FOP on numerous occasions dating back to November, to be interviewed and is seeking the FLOPS endorsement. With NEGATIVE results.
The FOP has interviewed all 3 Democratic candidates. Christopher has saved all his email requests and phone records without response. Christopher has spoken with Dean Angelo in person.
How can anyone spend 31 years at the Cook County State's Attorney office, if justice was not your motivation. He told me personally that we are headed down a dark road and he is our light.(And how about loafs and fishes?)
He works with numerous Law Enforcement agencies and was currently at a Law enforcement event, when he personally took my call and spoke with me for 45 minutes.
I emailed the Trump Campaign to donate to his campaign. (do you live in Canaryville?) Please say this guys name everyday at work and on the blog. Vote for him, tell everyone you know to vote for him. Keep sending emails to the Trump campaign to donate to him.
3/18/2016 01:59:00 AM

Well I did a little more homework than you did.
FOP did not interview the three democratic candidates. They would not let Alvarez in the building. Foxx never asked for the endorsement. Moore did come in and was argumentative the first minute. Who did see bring in as her driver? Gator Bradley! I wish I was there to tell her what I thought of that. Pfannkuche was not interview because he was running unopposed.
Some questions:
How long has he been a Republican? Can’t get a straight answer from him.
Has the republican party given him any financial support? NO
Is he been endorsed by the Republican party! NO not yet and the clocks ticking.
Has he ever prosecuted a police officer? YES that's right folks
Has he ever dropped battery to police officer charges against an offender? Yes
You may vote for him but your going to do it holding your nose. He has zero chance of being elected. The alternative sucks worse much worse.
Is Williams a merit promotee like the rest of the current command staff?

3/18/2016 11:31:00 AM
Don't make assumptions just because he's rapping with Caitlyn Jenner.
Cerone along with Flaherty and a few others at Area North suffer from a condition known as Walshiatis. The symptoms include: delusions of grandeur, self aggrandizing arrogant and pompus behavior common among persons with narcissistic personality disorder. People with this ailment always stick together so they can stroke each others ego by telling each other and others how great they are therefore perpetuate this facade they have carefully manufactured over the years. They also make sure they gang up and take down any person they perceive to be a threat to that image. Walsh was a master of that. The reality is, as a some posts have alluded to, they are incompetent hacks who couldn't investigate themselves out of a one way street, hanging on to the coat tails of the 2-3 decent detectives on their teams. The only hope is that the new VC LT at area north, who seams like a great boss, sees though the very thick BS these guys lay out and launches them. He at least brought in one great Sgt so far.

Stay fetal!
Whichever of these three stooges Rahm chooses I'm thinking Rahm insists on Escalante going back to his old spot of First Deputy.
Especially if Rahm chooses another outsider he'll want someone competent and intimate with CPD as First Deputy.
We'll go back to the old ways of the Supe being a figure head ( to appease the "community"),while the First Deputy handles the day to day operations of the department and for all intents and purposes actually runs the department.

You should know by now that the media and the public could care less about these type of goings on. They don't care about corrupt promotions or appointments or assignments. The only time I recall that the media even showed a slight interest was in 1988 when the BGA and NBC ran a series of investigative reporting shows highlighting the corrupt 1987 lieutenants and sergeants examination. But, no one paid attention to their discoveries although the questions they raised were damning . No one has ever mentioned that the Daley clan made the police department their patronage plaything which directly contributed to the loss of morale and the corruption. It has been going on for decades and still goes on today. I worked briefly in the HQ building and take home cars were controlled right out of the 1st deputy office. Many connected civilian employees managed to get a take home car. Why, back then, the wife of the lieutenants and the commander at Intelligence Division had take home cars and they were not even on the job. Nothing is legit, it never has been and probably never will be, not in this town, not in this county or this state. The a-hole alderman want transparency and accountability for everyone but themselves. And, strangely enough, no on holds them accountable and there is no outcry for their reform. These liberal bastards on the left have selective memories and selective outrage. The fish rots from the head. Even Obama got into the act by endorsing a state legislature that would support the corrupt Madigan regime.

We all know Kim Foxx was raised in Cabrini Green. Has the media bothered to ask her if she has felons and/or gang members in her family?
FUCK OFF and I didn't vote for her. I don't trust her for other reasons not her family connections. If family connections were reasons to stop someone from working hard to obtain a better life then the Kennedy's or the Bush's should have never been President. That also puts Trump out too.
SO FUCK OFF.

You are correct.
Wow. Touchy subject? How many bad apples are on this family tree?
It will be Cedric. He has ties to Obama.

she has been forced out of several departments with a wake of conspiracy and destruction in her after math. just like rahm's "bbb" school chief pick. she'll be a perfect pick here.
Who cares?! One meat or another

Re: Anne Kirkpatrick
You obviously are unaware of Anne Kirkpatrick's role in the case of serial killer Robert Lee Yates, who murdered as least thirteen prostitutes he picked up on Spokane's Sprague Avenue.
Did you know that Anne Kirkpatrick once frequented and shopped on Sprague Avenue? How you like them apples, smartass?
The mere fact that these Lightfoot panel assholes passed on a proven, professional leader with the respect, experience and integrity of Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke speaks volumes about "the Chicago Way". They don't give a rat's ass about you and CPD morale.
Sheriff Clarke would never compromise his values to accommodate the mayor of the most politically corrupt major city in the nation.
This changes what? Your still going to be in a beat car, broken down equipment, the thugs are still going to be killing and maiming, we are still going to protect our assets by being fetal,rahm still will not fully fund the pension, what changes? Where is charles "I got $350.00 per hour" no show job, this is like an episode of the sopranos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS55zq6Hz8A Elected sitting around with couple of exempts fat and happy then "Oh this guy got clout!"

Made sergeant in August 1998 and landed in 015. A few months later Gene Williams made lieutenant and landed on third watch. One dark day he told me I stick my neck out too much for the officers on the watch.
I pray his thinking has changed.
SUCH BAD INFO, he was a Sergeant in 1990 when we first met, and furthermore I made Sergeant in 1998......does anyone check info before posting it???? NOPE

Wait, 8:18pm. You DO realize the first poster was saying he made sgt in August of 1998, right? Not that WILLIAMS made sgt in August of 1998?
Sorry, may have said 8:18pm. Meant a.m. You know what I meant.

I think you interpreted the original post incorrectly. The poster made sgt in 1998 and landed in 015. Not GW. But GW made Lt shortly thereafter and went to 015.
I guess you should check your comprehension skills before you post it, sir.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear. I made sergeant in August 1998 and was assigned to 015. Perhaps November of that year Gene came there as a lieutenant. I worked on third watch for him.

HEY MEDIA !!
The above is true... Look into it !!
Also he gets former 1st Deputy Wysinger's wife (LT. M. HALL) an unmarked take home SUV even though she is only in patrol.. The IG should also investigate that WASTE of taxpayer's dollars.
The Chief of OCD let her keep that vehicle, she drove it all of the time she was in pre-service training but finally returned it.

Lori Lightfoot would rather shit her pants on national
TV and announce it than let a real Lawman like
David Clarke even come close to running CPD.
Poofters, Sir-Ma'ams, Serial Credential Padders,
Scolding School Marms and the usual coterie of
Pay-to-play clout goofs are the only ones deemed
"qualified" to be Superintendent.

It's indicative of how blatant the abuse is and how rotten the whole organization is.
And your comment helps to prove that. We're so used to the corruption, we accept it.

WOEFUL termination?
Before you hit 'send', maybe read what your phone has written for you.
The FOP just announced the DOJ will be at 2 special meetings Tuesday and Wednesday for members who want to come and speak with them.
Perhaps those who know of Williams indiscretions should come and speak.

About 8 weeks ago a trustee came out to roll call and said tell the Justice department all the shit that you would have fixed in a perfect world. It’s a one time shot. Here’s some of what he suggested:
The City downgrade authorized manpower by 1500.
We are very short handed in patrol as are the dic’s.
Too many specialized units created w/o hiring extra people.
The radios suck.
The batteries suck.
The cameras don’t work.
The PDT does not work.
The cars suck.
Promotions are a joke.
Meritorious now is stickily a clout thing.
In-service training is non-existent.
The ISR has killed proactive police work.
By giving away free money in many of the frivolous law suits the city has created a monster they can not get back in the bottle.
Agg-Batt to a P.O. charges are constantly dropped.
The City and the ASA refuses to follow up on Sworn Affidavit violations.
Print the list and feel free to add to it. It’s a one time shot at talking to someone who can impose changes on the city!
There's no doubt that he has detractors who believe he's too close to the Ministers, but he also has nearly four decades on the job, and should be given the benefit of the doubt...

Holy Name Cathedral has a toilet in the sacristy that's been on the job and seamlessly interacting with minsters and the public at large for more than sixty years. Hiring that shitcan to be the next CPD Superintendent would be a better idea.
