Civilianization Failing?

Already?
  • How's everyone else's civilians working out on the desk? We had one on 2nd and one on 3rd in 015 - both quit within a week of each other. Someone said they are getting paid about $9000 less than they originally were told?? Anyone got the scoop?

    (a posted reply)

    A few days before the civilian desk people left the academy, O'Neil from HR came to the class and said their starting salary was not the $44,000 they were promised. OOOPS! They made a mistake. Their pay now is $37,000. Oh no! Sorry but nothing can be done. The budget for the city showed the starting salary as $44,000. How does O'Neil make such a big mistake then say it is nothing to be worried about. Is O'Neil that incompetent? Move on nothing to see here.
An e-mailer writes that another civilian in 011 quit after one day. And another says three quit south, but we can't verify that one. Someone else wrote that it was revealed to the civilian clerks that they weren't actually replacing anyone on the desks (those are contractually guaranteed spots) so that when the budget gets cut (and it's coming again), the first ones gone are ::surprise!:: them.

This is like the old CEDA, characters paid to hang around in front of "L" stations wearing brown coveralls.

"This an A or B stop?"

"Uh, uh, ask the agent inside the do'."

Didn't last long -- and wasn't missed, to say the least.

...and the "workers" kept hanging around in front of the "L," as they had been doing for years anyway, free to go back to menacing people for fifty cent, cigarette, light, plastic cup...

$37,000.00 and not $44,000.00??? A 15% pay cut would piss me off too.

That is $270.00 every two weeks. That is a #%€£+!! car payment every month.

Last one hired, first one fired? After getting screwed over on my salary, I would believe that too.

It sure is sounding like the city completely fucked this whole thing up.... surprise, surprise.
To be hired at $44K and then after a few weeks of earning that salary they're told OOOOPS what it's really supposed to be is $37K.
That's about a 15% pay cut and is a $7K a year difference.

The city then brought in Don O'neill and the civilians quickly saw him for the major asshole that he is.
Needless to say the city and the civilians are off to a very rocky start.

Don O'Neil is one of the biggest assholes not only in cpd, but in the city. If you ever get stripped then get your police powers back, HR returns your star/shield. O'Neil will tell you that you are a disgrace and how you should have been fired. He doesn't care that maybe you just got screwed. He goes out of his way to belittle you. Coming from a double-dipping merit hack it's almost pathetic. Then again, he was a jag in 009 as a sarge and his clout gave him that arrogance. Wanna piss him off? Get a CR# on him when his department screws up. Guess a patrolman from 006 did over bad paperwork and O'Neil flipped! A civilian first taste of cpd is O'Neil, I'd quit too

The original starting salary was $37K which was online on the city's HR site. They at some point while training received an erroneous document that was required to be signed and it had the $44K listed on it, so they walked in the door knowing it was $37K. One retired PO quit because he couldn't draw his police pension and a city salary at the same time, not sure what union they are under, he finished training and quit. Can't blame him because D. O'Neill is drawing $100K+ pension plus director salary. Not sure why you would take the job as a retired PO and work a day off group, Tues/Wed and possibly midnights. I assume these retired guys were doing it for the insurance. Plus after seeing some of the hires I knew that the attrition rate would be over 50% if not higher. I'm sure there are some good ones but maybe 10% of those hired.

How can our superiors keep screwing up so bad.? I use to like wearing

Now? I want to throw this blue collar rag in

employed by this dept. I listen to a lot of you coppers rant and rave
with great ideas through the use of something called common sense.
But no one will listen or even look our way. You guys on this blog and
through out the districts have awesome ideas. Oh and by the way MEDIA
STROKES.......we do not have12,000 officers!!!! Actually, how many do we have??? 9k-ish?

Why are they working anyway. whey they can just get on the Obama Money Train?

2015 - Tweet from the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity

Rhode Island's minimum wage just rose to $9 an hour. There's a push by Democrats to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10.

That’s chump change if you believe a Jan. 10 tweet by the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity. It said you can earn the equivalent of $20.83 an hour by not working and being on welfare.

The conservative think tank reported: "RI should make working more attractive than welfare! Common welfare programs give income of $43,330 or $20.83 an hour."

I would think so. When you are hired for a job, if you are smart, you always ask for a " hiring letter" which spells out your salary and benefits. I you do not do this then you are truly a dumb ass. But, in the case of the city, they usually post the requirements for the job and pay and benefits. If you accept the job, the officer of the company is an enforceable contract.

The payroll code for the Police Administrative Clerk position is 9016. The payroll code for the Police Aide position that was eliminated about 15 years ago is 9016. The bid announcement for the Police Administrative Clerk showed a salary of $37,000. The $44,820 salary appears in the City Budget under payroll code 9016 and was supposed to have been approved by City Council in March of 2016 with 150 positions approved. Why the $44000 was approved for 150 positions that supposedly no longer exists couldn't be explained by O'Neil. Someone made an error of $1,050,000. That's a pretty big Oops.

True! We pay lots for insurance through blue cross , and yet the city hires a 3rd party- Taligen to pay for lesser services. I was recently in the hospital & everyone at hospital said oh you guys have good insurance, yet when the claims are filed/submitted during hospital stay, this Taligen seems to think that as serious as illness was, I should've been discharged to receive critical treatment at home. All because the shitty city wants to cut $$wherever /whenever they can. My health is 1st & foremost and these jags wanted to discharge me. God forbid It had gotten worse because of some infection all because the premium $$we pay for insurance was undercut by the city who wants to save. Compromise our safety and in this case my health so you be cheap asses. Fuck you city! ***on a side note , my time in the hospital was 1st time in my career I've had to really use insurance and what a slap in the face.

How can it be failing----the civilians are being placed into new or vacant spots (which means no full duty got sent out)---OR they are in addition to the full duty who are still there (which means no full duty got sent out)---OR even better the full duty got reassigned somewhere else inside----or maybe the diverse civilians are not the cream of the crop who are being put into jobs which didn't match the description or even the pay as presented incorrectly at least one step of the process

You're obviously an academy instructor that has zero experience off of his or her knees. Where in the post was it said the civilian handled it? I think the post was alluding to the fact that an armed offender, who just shot someone turned themself into said civilian. Now, I know you probably have zero street experience, or your mommy or daddy got you into the academy, but the inherent danger of an unarmed person without body armor, meeting an armed person who just shot someone (therefore has a propensity for violence) is usually a bad thing. So go back to telling recruits other people's war stories and stay off the blog

The desk nonsense is brutal at times for sworn personnel and why someone would subject themselves to be wide open to ghetto crazies is beyond comprehension.
Pay any sworn lifetime DeskDolly (review,admin,lockup) between $37-44k a year and they'd quit too.
Heck, taking away the Duty Availabity of any insider and they'll be back on the beat in no time.
But the City's pool of civilians don't always mean they're the cream of the crop.
After all it's a govmint job. Paying them PO scale might get them to stay, but not to work anymore efficiently.
Another Rahm attempt to appease the community will get those positive results at any cost...even it it compromises the budget and what little integrity left in the Department.
The untold short here with the sudden departures could be a matter for some of just getting the foot in the door, quit and go on to collect those entitlements, which at $37-44,000 a year puts FreeGovmintStuff in jeopardy.

ONeill was president of Captain Union when mid-contract negotiations he became Commander of MLAS--- insane.
Couple of year later, he retired from MLAS and became Director of HR but ran BOTH units for years---insane.
He was not even required to be "two-faced" since he was sitting on both sides of the table.
City Hall and the Supe allowed this crap, or maybe they engineered it.

Hey academy instructor! So,you think patrol officers are stupid? It doesn't take much brainpower to read from a sheet of paper and feed the recruits the answers for the test. You idiots are worse than every house mouse that hides inside everyday!you sound like an arrogant dickhead. It's probably better you're tucked away in the academy. You would end up getting you or your partner killed.go fuck yourself!

You should probably refrain from calling people dumb while making grammar mistakes and typos yourself. Those are the least of the issues with your idiotic post. When someone walks up to the desk with a gun, and the civilian is sitting at the desk, and that person walks up to the civilian, how exactly is an officer handling that? No one said the civilian has to tackle and arrest the guy with the gun, but they definitely would be dealing with it by just being there. The civilian is in real danger of being shot, just like anyone else who happens to be at the desk or in the station when a criminal walks in with a gun. Your inability to realize even the simplest of things tells us all we need to know about you. You didn't need to sign your post with "An Academy Instructor," because it's obvious you haven't seen the street in quite some time, if ever. That's a good thing too, because your lack of common sense and your inability to think of very obvious scenarios and outcomes that could occur, would just get you and others hurt or killed. So please, stay at the academy. Let the officers in patrol, the ones you seem to be judging as lower than yourself, handle the police stuff. You're neither worthy nor able to be on the street. You've sucked the right ass to get your cushy academy spot, so just keep quiet and maybe they won't notice you're too dumb to be there. Judging your fellow officers for being in patrol, while you've ascended to the almighty Academy Instructor position, is disgusting. You're a real piece of shit, and you don't belong anywhere near the recruits with that attitude. You actually don't belong on the job, but I'm sure you realize that, which is why you're hiding at the academy while others do the job you thought you could do. There are good instructors at the academy. You're not one of them. You're not smart enough to be ashamed of your idiotic post, but I'm here to let you know that you should be ashamed. Your judgment, combined with your absolute ignorance, make me sick. If someone walks into the academy with a gun, you wouldn't have the slightest clue how to deal with it. You'd probably lock yourself in a classroom and call 311. Dumbfuck.

Zero full duty people should work inside. Get the broke dicks sitting at home doing jack shit to work the desks. If they don't, fire them.

7/04/2016 10:14:00 AM

Ok asswipe.
You probably can't read, but if you could you should try reading our contract.
It calls for most watches to have two bidded desk officers and three watch relief officers. Those are BIDDED spots under the contract and those spots are filled by full duty officers.

Now there are hundreds of full duty officers citywide hidden in Commanders offices etc. .... many without even a job title cause they really don't have a whole lot to do.
Those are the ones who should be tossed out because not only do they not have recognized positions but what little they do doesn't "require a gun and a badge"
That's where civilians should be replacing full duty officers.

Thank you for being a leader. Reading Comprehension is a skill that requires intelligence. Nowhere in the scenario does it state that the person came into the station brandishing a firearm.

By the way, most of the people at the academy have advanced degrees with extremely high grades, most have perfect As. Due to the lack of training and direction, many people on the job need some direction. Wearing a white shirt does not make you a leader.

At the academy, we are leaders, especially since we are in charge of training.

You, my friend, get it.
Excellent post.

Our district has about a dozen sworn full duty officers hiding in the commanders area of the district.
That's where the civilians need to go.
But HQ and the media want to focus on "desk" officers.

Remember "District Managers"? Ten years ago or so they made almost $90K. The only good ones were the few that were retired coppers that worked hard to get us stuff we needed. Some were political hacks that threw their weight around and claimed they had actually authority over sworn personnel.

I wrote "Remember", I didn't know we still had two DMs somewhere; they're not in my district.

We did stand up to the crazy (expletive deleted) in our district and eventually she left. We had to undo a lot of damage she did everyday. A good friend of mine was a retired P.O. and the DM in a northside district.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, so save the lecture. Nowhere in my post did I say anyone was brandishing a firearm. Nowhere in my post did I tell any war stories. Nowhere in my post did I claim to be a leader. Your unsupported claims that most of the people at the academy have advanced degrees with extremely high grades, or "perfect As," whatever the fuck that means, has absolutely nothing to do with my assertion that you're a fucking moron. I only criticized you. I said there are good instructors at the academy. You can't possibly know what degrees and grades each instructor received while attending college. Many police with "advanced degrees" got those degrees by taking blowoff classes taught by some CPD boss, where everyone gets an A. Wearing a white shirt does not make me a leader. It does make me a supervisor though. It makes me a supervisor of the men and women who are out there on the streets dealing with the shit you hide from, putting their lives at risk for an ungrateful department, and an ungrateful community. Your post, in which you attempted to demean them, was disgraceful. I only posted what I did to call you out for being a worthless piece of shit with no respect for your fellow officers. You don't deserve to wear the same uniform as them. You definitely don't belong anywhere near a classroom as an instructor for them. Many people on this job do need direction, but they don't need it from you. Since you decided to bring up leadership, what qualifications do you have that make you a leader? You seem to think that you're a leader just by virtue of your assignment as an instructor at the academy. If a white shirt doesn't make me a leader, your suckass spot that you were given due to something other than your experience as an instructor doesn't make you one either. If you want to be a leader, you don't demean those you're trying to lead. You don't puff out your chest and brag about being an Academy instructor as if you somehow earned it, and that you're somehow better than everyone in patrol. You don't act like an arrogant asshole and suck your own dick because your phone call came through for you. Being "in charge of training" doesn't make you a leader. Someone puts together a cute little powerpoint presentation for you, you struggle to read the information contained in that presentation, and we all shake our heads at your total incompetence and complete lack of teaching ability. You don't write any of the material. You don't put the presentations together. You don't actually teach anything. You do nothing that could even come close to meeting even the loosest definition of being a leader. In closing, go fuck yourself, and pay attention to all the rolling eyes in the classroom while you "teach" and "lead."

P.S. If you really want to impress us, tell us what advanced degrees you have. Share your grades with us. Tell us where you got those advanced degrees. Your best bet, however, is just to shut your ignorant mouth and dig your heels in at the academy so you don't hurt yourself or anyone else on this job. We all know your qualifications and level of intelligence already, so don't bother.

No its not an exception to the rule, all the negative things you are hearing and reading about the current clerks are nothing more than bitter, angry, lazy, people trying to sabotage the position. Some of it from POs and fake wanna be pos civilian workers. There are no hood rats, lazy ghetto scared clerks working any of these districts as these haters claim. Thank you for acknowledging your clerks hard work and also for not following the footsteps of these other hating clowns...
