Pontecore is a prick! Good luck dealing with him in 008. Just a heads up, he loves writing up the troopers.
Quite a few 'haters' in here... Just saying...
Yawn. More of the same
Isn't it amazing how you can be a piece of shit under one superintendent and a super star under another superintendent? That's why this department sucks. The brass does not judge department members on their knowledge, skills or ability. Everything is personal.
With that being said - way to go Melissa! You always had the drive and stamina.
Here are the staring lineups for the CPD MERIT Hacks
kevin navaro/ merit Sgt..merit LT...appointed Captain??? appointed Cmdr...appointed Deputy Chief...appointed first deputy suit.
kevin johnson/merit Sgt..merit LT...Appointed Cmdr.
kenneth johnson/ twin of kevin johnson...merit Sgt...merit LT...Appointed Cmdr.
larry watson/ merit Sgt..merit LT..Appointed Captain...Appointed Cmdr...Appointed Deputy Chief
bill bradley/ merit Sgt...merit LT...Appointed Cmdr.
Mr Personality James Jones/merit Sgt..merit LT...Appointed Captain...Appointed Cmdr..Appointed Deputy Chief.
Dana Alexande/merit Sgt..merit LT...Appointed Captain...Appointed Cmdr...Appointed Deputy Chief.
Terrance Williams/ merit Sgt..merit LT..Appointed Captain...Appointed Cmdr..Appointed Deputy Chief.
They must have just created Dep Chief of Detached Services, we never had one before.
Typical corrupt city and police department!
Holy fuck look at all the Deputy Chiefs. Is there really a need for all those big bosses with big salaries? So much overlap of responsibility. Everyone doing the same thing. Commander of this and that Chief of the same thing. What a waste.
So, the commanders of the two districts with the most homicides got promoted. How nice...but don't worry... they're great guys, princes, or whatever. Either way, they're connected and it doesn't matter what they do or don't do
They sure got what they wanted, a mixed up group. I have NO respect for any of these people. The people of Chicago are in for big trouble. Good luck citizens.
Area Central??? Where is Dunn going? Please tell me we didn't lose him... This dept. is fucked. Dunn was a solid guy who a
Ways stood up for the working cop. Sad day.
Looks like a repetitive waste of money....blah blah blah
Crystal King??!?!? To CO of 002?! Does the mayor not like the officers AND the residents of the 002nd District?
I wish I had a twin. We could make merit Sgt then merit Lt. Then make commander all within a year of each other. Many promotions scream politics and clout. But if these two goofs aren't the poster children I don't know who is. Doj here's what's wrong with this department on a silver platter. And I am sure you will investigate and see what these 2 did that was so great to both be made merit everything together.
Glad to see the Johnson are now both Commanders. Its ashame for Kenny that it took this long. Both were merit detective, merit Sgt, merit Lt and why bother with Captain, straight to Commander.
Just clouted people padding their pensions .
Denihans spot in iad was vacant
Firing "all the bad cops"
Shaking up the Command Staff
Didn't Special Ed just get Rahm's "full support"?
What happens when the blood continues to flow?
No more tricks?
Will Special Ed be gone by New Years?
Sometimes what is needed to inspire the troops is a good shakeup of the command structure. Now go forth and be fetal.
Ot , but WTF ?
Saw 2 Olympic womens foot races where the winners were clearly male . What drew my attention to the screen the first time was the words "gender verification ".in the next race two men beat the US girl for gold and silver . I felt really bad for her . She spent a good portion of her life preparing for that event and was beten by political correctness .
Thank G-d I am retired as some of these are beyond jokes. I can't believe how much Eddie has let himself be a pawn. Sorry to say this will take a toll on his health. Curious why I have not seen Robbie involved in this fiasco!
Kevin Johnson is a prick....I feel bad for 011. Worst commander I ever worked for. Watch out Lt.'s , Sgt's and PO's in 011. He'll smile to your face, and stab you in your back....unless you are connected and can somehow further his career, then he'll take good care of you ! Glad he's leaving 005 !
I worked for R.P.( going to 008) when he was a Sgt in 015, and crossed paths with him after he went to 025. He was a really good Sgt....he looked out for cops and knew what he was doing. Congrats!
Q-"Did we miss anything?"
A- Just the 51 homicides this month...oh, wait. You got that too, a couple of topics down. I'd say you got it all!
How many were meritorious?
"Did we miss any?"
Wish you had,
"Everything must be going great!"
Whole north side so crime-free it "detached."
Huh? WTF is a "detached service?"
Cindy Samm & Krystal K. Smith, two of the most useless arrogant & racist individuals I've encountered on this job in 20+ years AND IM BLACK. Cindy Samm couldn't event keep track of a small CAPS office budget (of which money was always missing) and you expect her to run a district - c'mom man!
Krystal Smith needed all 10 fingers and toes to add to 10 while working in the accounting unit and still couldn't figure out the analysis needed to determine OT properly - good thing she had a good staff to "slowly" explain things to her "over-an-over again." C'mom girls, you remember those hibity-gibity days of yester-year.
SIGNED: IM NOT HAPPY FOR YOU!
And none of it matters. Not one thing any of them will do to improve anything.
What happened to Little Orphan Annie, AKA Granny?
pontecore to 008. Shitty choice
Are those 2 Johnsons related to the Supe?
nauseating.
All of this effects us blue shirts not one bit!
These new promotions will stop all the shootings, right? This is the best they could find?! We are truly lost as a department. A good numbers of these are based upon demographics and not leadership ability. But then again.....they did say we are a transparent department now.
I weep for our future
T-Dub was once again rewarded for doing absolutely nothing. Then again, homi ides and shootings are through the roof in 006, 007, 010, 011 and EACH of their commanders were promoted.
I guess all are problems are solved now.
With so many double and triple merits they must be the best the City that is burning has to offer.
And the exam scam scholars will be moved shortly after this to fill nice Do nothing spots.
WTF is Deputy of street Operations!? T-Dub Terrence "Twice Demoted" Williams given another Promotion!!!!! This micro managing idiot would hold your dick while you piss to ensure it hits the side of the bowl he deems is necessary for a successful urination mission. This legacy job bullshit is Bullshit and the reason why people are getting killed. Not the hoodlums and thugs but the innocent folks. Good fuckin grief.
What's the math on how many of those are POs that have been promoted 3x,4x, etc?
We hace more brass than patrol men. Chiefs of streets & sans.. Chiefs of office operations/Chiefs of forestry/Chiefs of ethics/chief of training... Blah blah blah
Never heard of half these people. But then again, I haven't paid attention for the last 29 years......
Gotta.....get.....to.....55.....
12:44...
Grow up and embrace the Suck.
Who's in charge of mixing the kool aid at compstat?
The best promotion on that list was Navarro. The rest---not so good.
Little S.G. Can still fly around in PH1. Hopefully he will get his gig with the NFL security and finally leave.

Detached services including mayors detail guess commander Brian needs a deputy chief, they have a lieutenant in charge extremely small unit another wasted not needed hidden clouted created spot, what a list nothing changes things go from bad to worse!
Any change in the director of Forensic Services, He has got to be in his seventies?
All these Johnsons getting made and not a set of balls between them.
LT Tommy Clark 702 has been kicking the water cooler since he was passed up again. Put the silver bars back on the collar sir. Maybe next time?
Yes where did Bill Dunn go? And how about Maria Pena?
Wow staples again. Never met a boss who was that useless and still keeps getting promoted. Just look what she did in 012.
What would O.W. Wilson think of this list? Pull my finger...
Can someone file another foia request and ask for the promotion history of these and all other exempts from PO to now so we can all see exactly how the CPD picks the people that are running things. There were lists put out already but there were some time periods not included so you can't see the entire picture.
My theory for what it's worth. From the day they started with educational requirements we've been finished. We now get recruits who couldn't find a job in the field they got their degree in rather than people that wanted to be the police their whole life. Come promotion time, so many people way more qualified and capable can't move up because for whatever reason they didn't get the required degree. (Not trying to start any bashing or debating about they've had enough time, with reimbursement there's no excuse, etc... I've heard them all) Where this leaves the department is with a much smaller and less talented pool for both hiring and promotions. Come merit pick time this really comes into play when that person you know is a great boss and has the job knowledge to handle the next level can't be considered. Just out of curiosity, fire has the me too clause for everything yet no educational requirements. They get equal pay at the respective ranks, so why is that?
Where did the commander of 010 go? Demote to XO position. They are looking at his shooting. Into a moving vehicle. He took will get the heads up to retire. Oh and his driver who also shot. She got merit Sgt. WI'll she too get fired?
The upper level of the department per the city council must be 60% black! That is the truth
TERRY WILLIAMS????? Seriously that piece of shit doesn't know his head from his ass! This guy is qualified to be the wagon man at best! Wholy shit!!!!!! Yea stay fetal my friends we have noooo leadership!!!
Jimmy O'Donnell is about the only respectable white shirt in that mix of misfits!
Bill Bradley nice guy but that's all that can be said Ohhhh wait that's Fred wallers guy this guy has been groomed since he got those chevrons must be nice to know that you'll eventually head to the top what a fucking joke!
The DUMBIFICATION of the Chicago Police Dept is complete. OMG.
Anyone out there in the public or the media who thinks that the Chicago Police Department ever was run fairly and legitimately must also think that Hillary Clinton and her Bill never lie. The corruption starts at the top, at City Hall, flows down to the alderman, effects the entire Democratic party, all of whom try to influence hiring and promotions within the department. The culture of corruption cannot but help to effect the rank and file, I think without their conscious knowledge. They fall into a status of " this is how it is done and it is OK". They see the clouted passed over them for promotion, get the better assignments and if the clouted screw up, everything is covered up for them. The police are used to keep the lid on the poor sections of the city as these same sections are ignored by the democratic party until it is time to vote. Pro-active policing is dead for the next generation as the black community descends into a chaotic hell of violence. It seems that the black community is only satisfied when they see black faces in charge of everything. They ignore the blood running in the streets and seem to believe that only black people can solve the problems of black people. Everyone else is a racist. I actually have a very liberal friend who told me that he has never met a racist black person. How naive he is.
Amazing how the media allows this to happen. How many promotees ever actually worked the streets. Yet, they're over promoted and making decisions that directly involve officer's lives and the lives of those they protect. Good job, media. They keep throwing softballs to you and you run back to the bench because someone's holding a sucker. Tools.
Pontecore only wrote people up because they deserved it. Don't lie to the man when asked a question or look like a slob with your beard and you have nothing to worry about. Congrats Ron, you were a fine Sgt in 015, even though you had to work for Slo Lorenzo.
Jim Jones is hands down the worst on the list. Worthless, scared, and zero street experience. And as has been said repeatedly, the personality of a corpse.
No Asian brothers on the list? That is some racist shit.
So the Washington Witch ran her mouth telling people she was going to be the next 1st Deputy. Ha ha. Welcome to Chicago where you never give up your next move lest you don't get it. #schooled

As a inspector he wrote up the abusers who deserved it. There has to be some standards on the street and a percentage officers really pushed the limit. He also gave passes to numerous officers. It is a shame that district sgts are afraid to have any standards at roll call. The young officers in 008 will benefit from his street experience.He should have been a commander years ago but the politics of Mccarthy was hard to overcome. The officers in 008 have nothing to fear and everything to gain.
What is the deal with Jimmy Sanchez? I guess he will take his cousin Nick Hernandez along
Appearntly pass tests legit is a career killer. We are beyond fucked with 95% of this crew of egotistical mental midgets.
Sure Fire 7 officers? I'll take a promotion! This Dept. is more egocentric than ever before! Enjoy your promotions, and that slob's (E.J's) nuts.
Didn't think it possible, but morale in 002 just got WORSE.
Bill Bradley was not a merit Lieutenant, and he is a good guy. Sure, he's being promoted because of his association to Fred waller but he's not your enemy.

true? wow ....
who are these fucking people? I know 2 of them
all these promotions are only screwing the tax payers of a bankrupt city. If the average Joe knew how much he was paying these political group they would flip. We have no money by continue to spend like we are rich. Why not cut some of these positions we don't need em.
Good Luck 008 this merit hack loves himself just ask him!
010 commander shooting video shows him and gf shooting into moving car which is fleeing. clear 1080 video. why hasnt johnson made an admistrative move after viewing all the evidence present to make a decision to strip those two? its worse then o neal shooting. ask around video is floating all over.
poor 008 why would they do that to that district? incompetent asshole. Hates PO's. If i lived in 008 I would be pissed. All those great PO's who work there will be beat down.
save some space keep it short how many were not meritous promoted at least once
Not that it means much but Dana and watson were never captains
Doesnt it seem strange that out of all the a minimum of 7 years experience at Lt and Capt
rank they needed to go to 4 Lts with less than 4 years in grade to make commander.
I dont know about you guys but Im getting exhausted saying this Boss or that is a "nice person".
Its over last one out gets to be Superintendent-Eddie will be gone by Christmas
What is Chris Kennedy doing these days? Deenihan coming from rat squad , but good supervisor in the D. He knows his stuff and the reality of the situation.

Seriously? You apparently think Garry McCarthy was the only superintendent who judged Department members solely on their knowledge, skills and ability? LOL.
She faired just fine under probably at least 4 other Superintendents and why so? Everyone and their mother knew McCarthy had a personal hard on for her and apparently you do as well. So, you are correct, everything is personal. Sorry you didn’t promoted and she did. Get over it.
Sit back and enjoy the show. There is a two drink minimum required.
I see James O'Donnell Escaped the Laquan McDonald Case in 8 where he was the Commander. I have no respect for CPD. Just Promote him and throw all the Blue Shirts under the Semi-Truck. They should all sleep well at night.
James O'D. The only one on the list that I would want to work for. Just saying...
Throwing the black man under the bus. Did Rham learn this too?
Hillary Clinton Told F.B.I. Colin Powell Advised Her to Use Private Email
King of EEOC beefs equals Deputy Chief of Detached Services.

The only thing she has going for her is that she represents a particular demographic. Now cue her groupies who are going to respond what a cool person she is.
Once Again....
"When U have a deck with 52 Jokers, and you shuffle it, you still have a deck with 52 Jokers...."
Except for one or two names we now have a department completely run by officers who have never passed a test and did no real police work. Most of them have been in spots that the rest of us could only dream of or never knew existed. If this doesn't reveal why our leadership and morale are shit I don't know what does. The new level of incompetence is staggering! Can't wait to run from this city of corruption
Hmmm... Is this why Pontecore recently deleted his Facebook page?
Ron Pon boss of 008? I worked with him 010 in the stone age, does he still know EVERYTHING?
Congrats to Navarro. Hwe is a good guy
What is this top-heavy command staff costing us tax-payers? This is obscene!!!!
Will someone tell us TAXPAYERS the clout behind some of these picks? Please.
Rewarding incompetence and mediocrity.

If Eddie wasn't black he'd be launched already.
He's the black face "the community" has "demanded" so Rahm will continue to pander and leave Eddie-the buffoon in charge.
Quite a list, shameful and rather, hmmm, diverse? No shortage of manpower at the failed top echelon.
Surely this will shake up the lack luster patrol slug.
Hey Special Ed here's a thought;
How about promoting the spirit of some flunky patrolmen out of the ghetto and into to 016 ?
Stay Fetal until moral improves.
Staying Fetal Saves Jobs.
Check your information. Bradley made Sergeant and Lieutenant from his rank number.
Pontecore isn't a prick. You don't know him if you think he's a prick. Great guy. Great to
work for. He's solid.
Many of these moves has NOBLE written all over it. I bet the NOBLE cheaters will be moving up soon.
I wonder if Rahm's arm up Special Ed's, the puppet, ass, bothers him much. So now we know why Special Ed was named Superintendent, skirting the entire process. He was willing to fuck over any PO that Rahm wanted on the chopping block. Special Ed is swallowing more than the Kool-Aid when it comes to Rahmbo. It is very apparent who picked all the new command staff. It must be nice having an Alderthief in your corner. Except for 2 of the named changes, the rest couldn't come up with a single intelligent thought if they were all in the same room. Too bad most have the fortitude to not be a politicians whore. Basically that is the only way to get to the top without having a fucking clue what you are doing. Fuck the morale of the troops, as long as the politicians look good and the police haters are happy. The more we fire, the better it is. At this rate the whole department may be fired within a year. Last one left, please turn off the lights.
Curious where Devreux case against black lives don't matter activist is. As we see now he is a deputy. I had the opinion when it happened that he was a good police and guy but a climber. Did he let it quietly go away for 30 pieces of silver , or is it still on the docket?
An Officer is only as good as his leader, if you are under the command of know nothing, done nothing hack then Police accordingly. Don't be used by some hack who climbs the ladder on your good work, remember merit promotion is a friends and family thing and is rarely given to a working Cop unless he is shot in the line of duty or if he takes action in the saving of another Officers life or against an offender in the wounding or death of an Officer. I could present examples but prefer to leave the disparity in good working Police Officers and hacks alone.
With all the merit promotions and bosses honeys passing out the answers, who would ever study or take another exam. Find a reverend and give him money.
How bout the 85 yr old Shear/Caruso Team?
Wait for it...some dickhead can say hw lucky we are to have them.
hey sc I worked in 016 and I give a f-ck about the changes , but can they get rid of our dc in 016 he is arrogant pompous only takes care of the clouted other than that the xo and lt johnny g are great
Terrance Williams never bothered to learn any names in 002. He liked to walk around the cockroach covered halls of 002 and ignore people. When he did acknowledge you, he called you 'guy' for some reason.

Kenny angarone great selection good guy, terry Williams god forbid and a hater too.
anybody know the clearance rate for Homicides?
I hope the newly promoted can solve all the current problems since many of them are triple merits!
Is that the same Jimmy Sanchez that taught Finnigan how to be the police when they were partners in SOS back in the 90's? Jimmy got all the merit promotions because he was the brains of the operation. Finnigan had too many beefs to promote and stuck around SOS until...well you know how that turned out. Very interesting selection.

Nepotism and affirmative action run amok. Same shit, just even bore blatant. Can't wait to see the farce of detective results. Remember, Eddie only likes black and rahm only likes votes.

You forgot he was appointed Commander, then dumped from Commander back to Capt. In 008 where he could care less about this Dept. or the troops. And then reemerge As a Commander under a new Supt. Where he suddenly cared again.
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians!!!!!
Detached services is not new. You must be a young'en. That said, I think it was last seen under Harold. Definitely existed under Byrne.
a disgrace....a continued insult and disgrace to the ideals of competent, intelligent, and experienced "leadership" on the CPD.....

Yes. You can do it.
Merit Promos below and above!!! There is maybe two guys on the list who haven't received a merit promotion or three, I'll refrain from mentioning their race.
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/the-watchdogs-white-men-get-biggest-share-of-police-promotions/
Jesus, nearly the whole fucking list is a conglomerate of merit promotions throughout their careers.
Larry Watson is a really good guy so is Bill Bradley. 006 is very lucky to get Bradley.
All youse guys licking Pontecore's sack, here's a true story
While he was an inspector, he'd call for a meet with me (west side sergeant). He'd tell me he saw this car without a beat tag or this guy without the appropriate outer gear. Told me he wouldn't write up anything as long as it was corrected the next time he came through in a week or so. No problem I told him. I'll have the discrepancies corrected, and I did so, telling the guys, save me the paperwork and don't get caught stupid. Five days later, I get called into the WC office for a pair of Inspection Reports written up by guess who? Pontecore. So he lied to me and made me look like a jackass so he could issue some fly-by movers, and I still had to do the paperwork! He's lucky I didn't run into him again or I would have read him the riot act, seeing as we worked together in Marquette 20 years ago. That's not how he was brought up, but he drank the 35th street bullshit water.
About...
Wow staples again. Never met a boss who was that useless and still keeps getting promoted. Just look what she did in 012.
---
She's a really nice person and There is no denying Staples has some loyal worshippers! I think some of her minions would go to jail for her- they are blind to logic with loyalty!!!! it's crazy how she manipulates people to do her dirty work and I never met somebody who couldn't stop talking about how hard she works.
As for the D unit, she'll be fine. She will surround herself with smart people who she will forget about when she becomes the first female superintendent.
11:25am Yeah whats his claim to fame. Navarro merit all the way he is not a good guy!
I know of a few.I recognize a few more.Most are clout heavy dogs as I recall.The only one who probably deserves it is a guy who was a young recruit on my watch when I was a Sgt in 007.
Good for you Brendan.

I've tried making FOIA requests to CPD for years with no success. The FOIA section will just ignore your request, and then you will
need to appeal CPD's no response (denial) to Lisa Madigan (PAC), who will then ask Legal Affairs for a response to your appeal. Legal Affairs will then just lie and say a response was sent without proof, and the PAC will then close out your appeal, while CPD laughs, and you get NADA! It's a flawed system. I even went to Matt Topic for help, but he was scared of CPD and refused to take my case.
I even tried to get Steve Georgas' CR; FOIA claimed the investigation was still open by IAD! That's a lie!
Long live Ralph Price's Venga Boys!
If interested you can make a request to the CPD FOIA section via email:
Foia@chicagopolice.org

Hey 1244AM.
None of these bosses can help you. Your fate will be decided by B.Hussein Obama or Rahm Emanuel. That "for the working copper" boss is the most dangerous kind of boss there is today, one who makes you think he can help you.
Same old faces, same old names. This is no "shake up."
As a inspector he wrote up the abusers who deserved it. There has to be some standards on the street and a percentage officers really pushed the limit. He also gave passes to numerous officers. It is a shame that district sgts are afraid to have any standards at roll call. The young officers in 008 will benefit from his street experience.He should have been a commander years ago but the politics of Mccarthy was hard to overcome. The officers in 008 have nothing to fear and everything to gain.

After he was done boo hooing and abusing the medical because he wasn't made the commander of 012 he held his breath until they moved him. Now he's a big city inspector and where does he decide to feast? You got it ball licker, 012! Now if he had a problem with McCarthy or Staples he should have stood up and sounded off like a man. Instead he trolled the parking lot and wrote up 9161's that he knew, including one guy that was dropping his mother's car at the dealer. Stay off the blog Ronny Boo Hoo.
Apparently 011 is the new dumping ground (I mean stopping) ground for those merit hacks on the way up the ladder. We get fucked again!!

Memos from a retired guy. "Know nothing, see nothing and DO Nothing".
Send in the clowns, there has to be clowns....
Yea but Detached Services was always a Lieutenant spot because all the lieutenant has to do is fill they clouted ones mailboxes. Now it's a Deputy Chiefs job? The best spot on the police department he never sees anyone assigned there. Let's see: Msyors Detail. Corporation Counsel's investigators. Finance Dept. , fast Eddie Burks drivers, City Clerks body guards, Attorney Generals office Detail, FBI Violent Crimes Taskforce, U.S. Marshals detail. And oh yea special Ed's drivers. None of which have to chase stolen cars or run down dark alleys on the ghetto. All at a higher pay and pension. Oh yea do they still have the Sates attorney's narcotics team?
Get the marquee ready in 8 Ronny likes to see his name in lights. He couldn't stomach that Melissa Staples was his Commander and had his name added to the marquee. He also posted it on his Facebook saying "this is view" showing his name on the Near West station sign. Oh and he will no doubt decorate his office with all his Green Bay Packer shit.
did someone say Pontecore has street experience? Really? He's a total tool.
My sympathies to 008 worse than being useless he is a cop hater.
I know Ponticore, don't like him, arrogant little prick with a little man's complex. Imagine little Tommy Byrne,only a bigger prick.

Pontecore only wrote people up because they deserved it. Don't lie to the man when asked a question or look like a slob with your beard and you have nothing to worry about. Congrats Ron, you were a fine Sgt in 015, even though you had to work for Slo Lorenzo
Pull the ruler out and see if his Mustache is regulation ? Seems a bit long and thick
Not that it means much but Dana and watson were never captains
Watson was in captains school in the academy and they pulled him put and made
Him cmdr of 005.....so his last civil service rank will be captain. In fhe event he steos on
His small dick and gets demoted
Bill Bradley is a great guy and made rank by score so know what you are talking about.

Huh?
An Inspector "air-mailing" his "movers" for the day?
Over the years, haven't there been some beat-slugs
who took HEAVY time for doing that "air-mail" shit?
Inspectors are useless.
Too many verified instances of them "observing uniform infractions"
that were actually Policemen rolling on the ground fighting with Dude.
Licking your wounds in the station on top of having an Inspector's beef
slid across the counter at you is the kind of shit that breeds hatred.

hey sc I worked in 016 and I give a f-ck about the changes , but can they get rid of our dc in 016 he is arrogant pompous only takes care of the clouted other than that the xo and lt johnny g are great
He's not, so much, arrogant as he is kinda clueless, and a BIG company man. Maybe aloof is a better word. He was a caps Sgt. in 019, then made Lt and, at some point, ended up downtown. He became part of the CompStat thing under McCarthy and had a whole 10 gallon cooler full of the company Kool-Aid. Went back to 019 as XO and was all about the numbers. Remember, it was him, and Eli, at the helm in 019 when the mass exodus occurred. A lot of people thought it was going to get better when he got there. Instead, it got worse, thus, the exodus. I do have to agree with you though, Hoot and Lr. G are top-notch.
I actually have a very liberal friend who told me that he has never met a racist black person. How naive he is.
8/19/2016 08:46:00 AM
Must not have met very many black people in the 'community'
I feel really bad for you guys in 008. Be careful

COORECTED: Inspector General Recommendations on the Laquan McDonald case
Office of the Superintendent
I received this on 18 August to my Dept. e-mail. The misspelling on the heading of this e-mail tells me all I need to know about the current leadership of the CPD.
cor·rect
verb
past tense: corrected; past participle: corrected
put right (an error or fault).
Ron, I understand you need to defend yourself on here (you're not a well liked man), but don't make it so obvious! Years ago, you preached that you were all for the guys..you violated the appearance standards for years with that ridiculous lip growler. Years later, all was fair and you showed your true colors. You were a jerkoff and you know it.
.pissed at the world that you didn't get 012. Well, they gave u 008...enjoy that ride from Oriole Park and make it to work on time...you will be watched and video taped walking in. See, I along with others, don't forgive you for screwing us over, so be vigilant because we will catch you now. And, by the way, get some mints because that breath be kickin!

Hey, Ron. You accessing this on City time? Write yourself up.
As long as Pontecore isn't an Inspector anymore I'm a happy camper. As a Sgt in 11he'd find stupid pimpy shit and then force my hand even though all hell was breaking loose. 100 % Scumbag
002 went from worst to the worst
To:
Isn't it amazing how you can be a piece of shit under one superintendent and a super star under another superintendent? That's why this department sucks. The brass does not judge department members on their knowledge, skills or ability. Everything is personal.
With that being said - way to go Melissa! You always had the drive and stamina.
Seriously? You apparently think Garry McCarthy was the only superintendent who judged Department members solely on their knowledge, skills and ability? LOL.
She faired just fine under probably at least 4 other Superintendents and why so? Everyone and their mother knew McCarthy had a personal hard on for her and apparently you do as well. So, you are correct, everything is personal. Sorry you didn’t promoted and she did. Get over it.

Dude, you are way off on how you interpreted my original post. Go back to bed.
Don't have to believe it but jones is a good guys, don't judge a book by its cover. He may not be gregarious and jovial but he is about the troops. Maybe back in the day was differnt but I've known and worked for him for awhile and guarantee you he is one of the most solid choices on this list.
Pontecore is a tool
Larry watson pulled out of captains class but never sworn in as capt, he will retire a Lt. Kevin johnson went through capt school but made Cmdr before capt so he will retire a Lt as well.
Sanchez is a lot like other lts that worked at Homan, smartest guy in the room, just ask them, right Mattie boy.
T dub, he comes out to handle your shooting just take the 5th
Crystal good luck 002
Angarone isn't he about 70? Let that unit run rampant, maybe there party days will be over
Devereux is a good dude, but earlier post about him selling out might be accurate
Ken johnson was such a great tact Lt in 20, he should be well prepared for 7
Varrick and Bradley might be good guys but together they might have 5 years in patrol, hopefully they will be good.
My theory for what it's worth. From the day they started with educational requirements we've been finished. We now get recruits who couldn't find a job in the field they got their degree in rather than people that wanted to be the police their whole life. Come promotion time, so many people way more qualified and capable can't move up because for whatever reason they didn't get the required degree. (Not trying to start any bashing or debating about they've had enough time, with reimbursement there's no excuse, etc... I've heard them all) Where this leaves the department is with a much smaller and less talented pool for both hiring and promotions. Come merit pick time this really comes into play when that person you know is a great boss and has the job knowledge to handle the next level can't be considered. Just out of curiosity, fire has the me too clause for everything yet no educational requirements. They get equal pay at the respective ranks, so why is that?
8/19/2016 08:22:00 AM
I agree with the fact that educational requirements and merit promotions began the biggest and most rapid downfall of cpd. The rules changed in the early/mid 90's, and at that time, every sworn member of the department should have been grandfathered in to be allowed to take a promotional exam and get promoted without having the educational requirements. I completely disagree with the tuition reimbursement for several reasons, such as cops wanting to work desk jobs or specific hours so they can attend class or study for exams. No one comes on this job to be the police anymore, they come on this job to get a free masters or a doctorate or become a fkg lawyer. Just my opinion...
Jimmy O'Donnell was the Commander of 008 during the Van Dyke shooting. He stood around shooting the shit with Captain Dennis Walsh then went home BEFORE everything was brought into the area. He wasn't interested in what was going to happen at the area that night with McNaughton running the investigation. He should have been there for his guys, if for nothing more than moral support. Now 4 of his officers and 1 sergeant are stripped and will soon be fired. How do you reward such loyalty? Promote him to Deputy Chief the SAME day his guys are sacrificed in the name of politics. He also has been on extended medical for the better part of the last year. I guess being a model patient and keeping all of your appointments at the medical section now qualifies you for a promotion. By the way, the 5 former members of you command are still waiting to hear from you after getting stripped.
Wow, Angarone is still around? Who knew?

As for the D unit, she'll be fine. She will surround herself with smart people who she will forget about when she becomes the first female superintendent.
8/19/2016 07:29:00 PM
She'll be fine in the D-Unit now. She has Duffin in Area North, Deenihan in Area Central and in Area South she has..... OK, MAYBE, she wont have it that easy....
Angarone is also a merit Lt. Not that he's a bad guy.
I believe the Devereaux was as well.

Smartest guy in the Department. Just ask him ...
Devereux was not a merit anything. Sgt and Lt by score.
Who is Eric Carter?
"Crystal good luck in 2"
Sry meant, crystal, oh fuck good luck 2!"
George Devereux wasn't merit anything until Captain. He's a Police Officer 1st and treats people with dignity. Of all the bosses working today, he is a standout. George deserves everything that has come to him after years of working at a high level. Every once and a while they get it right, and this is certainly the case with Deputy Chief George Deveraux.

Staples never does anything but, doesn't bother anyone. So, if you need anything don't count on her. She's like the ghost that exists but, you never see. I forgot how the lady looks like because she doesn't go around to see the patrol officers that serve under her, she only bothers with the ass kissers that work in the office with her.

I worked for Melissa in Area Four when she was a Sergeant and when she was a Lt. She never asked anyone to do anything that she would not do herself. In fact, she was out there with us fighting the good fight. I will not ask anyone to like her if they choose not to, but I will ask that you respect her because she is the "real deal".

The Nobility strikes again!
I hope they are all proud of their promotions, however temporary and fleeting they might be.
